Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

"All who enter the Moonlight Cave Heaven, remember to keep your invitations. The Moonlight Cave Heaven will remain open for three months. After three months, you will be expelled by the power of the cave heaven. Once inside, each shall follow their destined path, regardless of life or death! In addition, as long as you collect enough Five Fortune Pearls, the Inheritance Stele will emerge on its own for you to contemplate the Tao."

Upon hearing this, many Golden Core Masters participating in the meeting became agitated, their expressions showing eager excitement,

Zhao Sheng's mind remained calm, without the slightest ripple.

"Moreover, after entering the cave heaven, never discard the Five Fortune Pearls, or else all consequences must be borne by you alone," the High Crowned White Robed Elder continued after a pause.

The matters he spoke of had long been extensively detailed in records by predecessors.

If one loses the Five Fortune Pearls in the Moonlight Cave Heaven, it is tantamount to forfeiting their qualification. By the time the cave heaven closes, they will remain inside permanently.

Throughout history, countless individuals who thought themselves clever attempted to hide within the cave heaven without coming out, but when the cave heaven opened the next time, they all perished in some corner of the cave heaven, without exception.

"Enough said, I will now open the gate of the cave heaven," the High Crowned White Robed Elder said as he shook his sleeve and summoned a Taiji-shaped disc magical treasure, densely inscribed with layers of ancient spirit patterns.

Supporting it with one hand, the elder turned and chanted an ancient spell towards the gray-white giant gate; moments later, the "Taiji Disc" suddenly shot out two beams of black and white light.

The bicolor light beams whirled fiercely in mid-air, interweaving into a swirling pillar of black and white light, striking the center of the stone gate, and materialized into a vivid Taiji light cluster that spun rapidly.

At this time, the High Crowned White Robed Elder suddenly threw out the Perfect Treasure, simultaneously forming numerous Dharma Seals with both hands, as golden spiritual texts emerged one by one from the surrounding void, cascading into the stone gate like waterfalls of light.

After about thirty minutes, the Taiji light cluster suddenly radiated brilliantly, and the stone gate issued a resounding roar. Then a fine crack appeared from top to bottom at the center of the stone gate, and the two doors slowly pushed inward.

Instantly, a large expanse of dazzling glow shot out from behind the door, and the sky above the Moonlight Star was soon adorned with a colorful aurora heavenly curtain.

Soon after, the gray-white stone gate was completely pushed open, but the area behind the door was filled with glow, obscuring the scene inside the cave heaven.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng strained his eyes to gaze, but could see nothing, ultimately giving up the futile effort.

The High Crowned White Robed Elder wiped sweat from his forehead, put away the Taiji Disc, and was about to speak, but his expression suddenly changed, and he looked up swiftly.

Above the stone gate, the void blurred and twisted, as a water droplet-shaped, entirely silver-white metal sphere suddenly emerged.

Around the meteor crater, nearly a thousand high-level cultivators immediately sensed the anomaly, looking skywards and spotting the suddenly appearing silver-white "water drop."

Everyone was taken aback, realizing the unwelcome arrival, and held their breath in silence, awaiting the turn of events.

The next second, five figures suddenly appeared mid-air before everyone.

At the same time, an overwhelming heavenly pressure descended from above, instantly enveloping the entire Moonlight Spirit Realm.

Bang bang bang!

Caught off guard, the vast majority of the Golden Core Masters were unable to withstand the pressure, feeling dizzy, their vision darkening as they fell to the ground, making a fool of themselves on the spot.

Although the Nascent Soul Ancestors barely managed to maintain their stance under the pressure, their faces changed drastically, shock filling their hearts. The terrifying strength of this pressure far exceeded their expectations.

Zhao Sheng, whose Divine Sense was extraordinarily powerful, over seven to eight times that of his peers, also felt dizzy but remained standing firm.

Gazing at the uninvited guests above, the High Crowned White Robed Elder's expression fluctuated but he refrained from rebuking them.

Fortunately, the pressure came suddenly but disappeared just as quickly.

After merely one breath, the pressure vanished without a trace.

Everyone felt a sudden relief, the fear in their hearts significantly reduced.

The Golden Core Masters with unsteady legs awkwardly got up from the ground, their expressions marvelously complex.

At this time, five figures descended from the sky, with the person in the middle having a stature like a green pine, hair resembling snowy clouds, surrounded by a faint and splendid starlight, obscuring their features.

"Returning to Void... Half-Immortal!" someone exclaimed, drawing a sharp breath.

Zhao Sheng, looking at the starlit figure, was inwardly astounded. This person's aura was ethereal, as grand as the Star River, and unfathomable.

Meanwhile, beside this Returning to Void Half-Immortal stood four younger cultivators, wearing star crowns and star blue long robes, exuding extraordinary presence.

Zhao Sheng's gaze swept over the five individuals, his eyes slightly flickering.

Although these four had a powerful aura, it could not hide the fact that they were of the Golden Core Realm.

"It seems we have esteemed guests from the Ten Thousand Star Palace of the Eastern Star Domain; I am Mo Yanhai, the sixteenth True Inheritor of the Nine Questions Immortal Sect, welcoming you from afar." As the crowd showed expressions of surprise, the High Crowned White Robed Elder suddenly smiled slightly, clasped his hands, and spoke aloud to the newcomers.

Most of the people heard of the Ten Thousand Star Palace for the first time, and began whispering and discussing among themselves.

However, a few well-informed Nascent Soul Ancestors revealed expressions of fear.

Clearly, the name Ten Thousand Star Palace seemed to represent some sort of taboo or perhaps fearsome prestige.

The Ten Thousand Star Palace spans across myriad heavens, signifying one star one world; ten thousand stars, ten thousand worlds.
