Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 463 - 313: Divine Ruins Meteor Sea

Chapter 463: Chapter 313: Divine Ruins Meteor Sea

“Fox Fairy, the helper you found doesn’t look very reliable, huh? Could it be another one of your distinguished guests?”

As soon as Zhao Sheng finished speaking, River Lord Fu You immediately mocked with a touch of sarcastic humor.

“Hehe, none of your business! I do as I please.”

No one expected the Fox Fairy, seemingly as lovely as a celestial being, to suddenly blurt out a vulgar phrase so unexpectedly.

Seeing this, the Blood-eyed Elder immediately said in a deep voice, “Alright, the important matters take precedence, let’s not spoil our relationship over trifles. Shenglong, Fox Fairy, please take your seats quickly!”

Hmph!

With a cold snort, the River Lord sat back down.

Zhao Sheng took a deep look at this person, outwardly frivolous and giving to jest, but in truth, scheming and unfathomably shrewd.

The words just now were nothing more than an act.

After Zhao Sheng and his companion were seated, the Blood-eyed Elder, as the host, courteously introduced the other companions, especially to Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Sheng also greeted everyone without lacking manners.

Among the group, it was the Demon Tooth Mushroom Mother who was especially aloof and taciturn, not even uttering a word, merely shaking her strange tentacles twice as a form of response.

Zhao Sheng didn’t find it strange, as beings of the Corpse Mushroom Clan lacked human emotions and desires and were inherently cold and brutal, governed by the desire to reproduce and feed.

The Six Great Nascent Soul Ancestors were all gathered for a clear purpose: to seek treasure in the Divine Ruins.

Everyone knew this before coming, so there was no need to elaborate further.

However, some things needed to be addressed upfront.

“Everyone, the Divine Ruins are billions of miles away from the Netherworld God Realm. My Lanyang Palace can only travel a million miles a day, which means the journey alone will take five years, and the Spirit Stones consumed en route will be astronomical. I can’t afford that myself. Why don’t we discuss and decide how much each person should contribute in Spirit Stones?”

“Blood Eyes, how many slots of Spirit Stones will it take for one trip? Can you give us a number?”

River Lord, ever the perfect straight man in a comedy duo, naturally took the initiative to ask.

Once one reached the Nascent Soul Realm, the discussion of Low-grade Spirit Stones would never be by the piece but by the slot instead, with one slot of Spirit Stones equaling one hundred thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, or ten Top-grade Spirit Stones.

The Blood-eyed Elder immediately raised two fingers and calmly said, “Fifty slots! No less.”

Zhao Sheng was momentarily stunned, his heart skipping a beat.

Fifty slots of Spirit Stones? That’s the equivalent of five hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones!

He thought of his lifetime’s savings, which all converted wouldn’t amount to more than five or six hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones, and if in terms of Top-grade Spirit Stones, not even ten.

Just for a one-way trip to the Divine Ruins, he would have to burn through his entire fortune!

“Not too much! Then, I will contribute ten slots! But on one condition, I will not be bothered to keep watch during the journey,” River Lord, still in his element, was the first to offer.

Seeing this, the Fox Fairy laughed and said, “I’ll also put up ten slots. In addition, since Blood Eyes is providing the Lanyang Palace, it’s only fair that he doesn’t have to contribute any Spirit Stones.”

“Twenty slots! Consider it for both myself and Demon Teeth.”

Zhao Sheng saw the others behaving as if it was nothing significant and inwardly expressed his utter amazement.

Today was indeed a day of eye-opening experiences!

Are all the Nascent Souls in the Netherworld God Realm this extravagant?

In truth, Zhao Sheng was somewhat off the mark.

Not all Nascent Soul Ancestors are so extravagant; there are many “poor” ones like him.

He had overlooked the most important point: all of them had the powerful support of a large force behind them.

Zhao Sheng, however, was a Loose Cultivator who had just ascended to the Nascent Soul Realm a few years ago—a rookie.

Then, seeing the others’ gazes turning towards him, Zhao Sheng’s expression became somewhat hesitant.

Beside him, as if anticipating his reaction, the Fox Fairy immediately spoke up to defuse the situation, “The remaining ten slots, I’ll cover for Shenglong.”

After saying that, she looked at Zhao Sheng with a teasing glance, “Shenglong, you must protect me if we encounter any dangers, okay?”

“Hmm!” Zhao Sheng nodded calmly, but his thoughts were racing.

Half a day later, the protective light shield of the majestic Lanyang Palace suddenly shone brighter, resembling a dazzling ball of light, with the shield’s strength swiftly increasing tenfold.

After that, the Lanyang Palace began to move slowly into the dark Void, its speed picking up from slow to fast,

In the blink of an eye, it accelerated a thousandfold, trailing specks of Radiance, and turned into a Meteor as it dashed lightning-quick towards the boundless Void Sea.

Compared with the world teeming with numerous life forms and a riot of colors, the main palette of the Outer Void Sea was one of eerie silence, desolation, extreme cold, and darkness.

The vastness of the Outer Void Sea was infinite. It was a place far more desolate and dangerous than the Death Desert.

Here, the extremely harsh environment was just the basic test. Having the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm was merely the basic requirement for survival.

Even more perilous was the presence of countless mysterious, bizarre, and unknown entities lurking in the blackness, ready to be encountered at any moment.

However, even the most basic conditions of the Outer Void were too much for Cultivators below the Nascent Soul Realm to endure for long.

Those in the Qi Refining Realm wouldn’t last more than a hundred breaths before being killed by the extreme cold of the vacuum.

…

Half a year later,

On the terrace of the Lanyang Palace, Zhao Sheng sat cross-legged, expanding his Divine Thought to its maximum, reaching out over a hundred miles.

But in the Void Sea, such a range of detection was as good as being blind.

In navigating the Void Sea, high-level detection formations are a must.

The Lanyang Palace was equipped with the Ten Thousand Mile Heavenly Eye Formation, capable of sensing movements up to ten thousand miles away.

Of course, this wasn’t anything to boast about.
