Journey to the West: Signing in for 500 Years-Chapter 606 - 600: Significant Increase in Strength [Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets]_1

After refining the Dragon God Sword and extracting a portion of Zulong's bloodline, Sha Chen took out four Dragon Balls and refined them together.

Three of them were relatively easy to handle, but when it came to the Space Dragon Pearl, Sha Chen treated it with utmost seriousness.

After all, he had already achieved Space Greatness and was only a step away from the Complete Realization of Space.

If he were to shut himself away in rigorous cultivation, meticulously pondering, it might take ten thousand years to take that final step.

Now, with the Space Dragon Pearl, he saw hope for accelerating his progress to the Great Perfection Realm.

Sha Chen cultivated while studying the Space Dragon Pearl, refining it and integrating it with his own spatial abilities, validating each against the other.

「In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.」

Sha Chen had consumed a substantial amount of cultivation resources, and his strength had further advanced.

His comprehension of space deepened, and the spatial world within his body was crafted even more perfectly.

However, it had not yet developed into a truly perfect world, as it was still unable to recycle the Divine Power and life-sustaining resources within itself. He was always just short of that final touch. And Sha Chen understood that once he could achieve this, even if the space he constructed was exceedingly fragile, as long as it could recycle resources, then his mastery of space would reach Great Perfection.

He continued his exploration, constantly elevating his abilities.

His cultivation strength advanced yet another step. If the Quasi-Sage Peak realm was divided into nine levels, he was now equivalent to the third level. This meant he had cultivated the first stage to Great Perfection.

Over countless years, only a handful of cultivators had reached the Quasi-Sage Peak.

But those who could push their cultivation to the third level were fewer than the fingers on one hand.

In just 500 years, Sha Chen had traversed a journey that previous generations might not complete in their entire lives. This achievement speaks to the tremendous effort he had invested and the enviable opportunities he had encountered.

He continued his cultivation without any intention of stopping.

However, on this day, the Phoenix Sisters were affected by the breakthrough in his cultivation. This triggered the potential within their bodies, and their cultivation level unexpectedly broke through at that moment.

All three sisters stepped into the Quasi-Saint Realm.

It was the continuous awakening of their bloodlines, coupled with Sha Chen's Dao Techniques teachings and a deluge of cultivation resources, that allowed them to advance from eggs to the Quasi-Saint Realm in just a few hundred years.

One might say their cultivation time was even shorter than Sha Chen's, which demonstrates just how astonishing their talents and potential were.

This is the Divine Beast—the Phoenix, one of the three great powers at the beginning of the Dragon-Han era.

Furthermore, the number of Phoenixes is even rarer than that of the Dragon Clan. Their ability to contend with the entire Dragon Clan hints at the nobility of the Phoenix bloodline and their world-shaking potential and talent.

Moreover, with Sha Chen's guidance and the indoctrination of the Three Pure Ones Taoism, their path of cultivation was effectively smoothed out.

All sorts of Elixirs and Immortal Herbs were theirs for the taking. These included Flat Peaches and Ginseng Fruit that could unleash potential, as well as the Muddle Yang Willow Tree. Such divine items, which outsiders could hardly ever hope to attain, were all consumed by them.

Their Cultivation Method was also enhanced, and they received personal instruction from Sha Chen, saving them over a hundred thousand years of arduous cultivation.

Otherwise, even during primordial times, a pure-blooded Phoenix would need at least a hundred thousand years to cultivate from an egg to the Quasi-Saint Realm.

Such advancement is possible only with guidance, an abundance of cultivation resources, and extraordinary innate talents, all combining to bridge the gap of time.

Sometimes Sha Chen could not help but sigh at the natural talents of divine beasts; it's no wonder that the great powers across the Three Realms and Six Paths have always been on guard against the resurgence of the three great divine beast bloodlines.

The Phoenixes were captured to be mounts or else slaughtered.

The Qilin were also hunted to near extinction, with only a precious few hiding deep in the mountains and forests, not daring to show themselves.

The Dragon Clan's fate was even more tragic; for self-preservation, they chose to interbreed with numerous other species, diluting their Dragon bloodline.

All this was to counter the slaughter from the various forces of the Three Realms and Six Paths, which also showed just how vigilantly the three great mythical beast races were suppressed.

Initially, Sha Chen felt that the actions of the forces in the Three Realms and Six Paths were somewhat extreme and an overreaction. But now it seemed that if he were in a high position, he would likely take the same precautions.

If the three great mythical beasts could be used by him, then they would naturally be invincible weapons, ensuring victory in every battle. If they could not be used by him, then they would represent the greatest risk and future trouble, which he would have to find a way to eliminate.

Fortunately, the three Phoenix sisters were his people, and the Dragon Clan was also about to be at his service. He naturally intended to spare no effort in nurturing them. When the time came, both the true Phoenixes and Dragons would become his most powerful assets and his greatest source of confidence.

The only regret was that the Qilin Clan had not appeared.

The Ink Qilin that had served as Wen Zhong's mount was merely a Qilin with a relatively diluted bloodline, an anomaly among Qilin. It did not count as a true Qilin from primordial times.

After the Phoenix sisters achieved a breakthrough and entered the Quasi-Saint Realm, they transformed back into phoenixes and soared joyfully within the Flowing Sand River Cave, spiraling through the air.

They chirped and chattered, brimming with pride and elation.

Sha Chen couldn't help but cheer for them, standing up to applaud and offering his encouragement.

The three sisters circled around Sha Chen, shouting and cheering.

"Daddy, we've finally entered the Quasi-Saint Realm! Now we have some ability to protect ourselves and can do more for you."

"Daddy, we've finally made the breakthrough! Are you happy?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"La la la, we made it, we made it! Can we go out now?"

The three sisters were lively by nature. After leaving the Flowing Sand River Cave, they had become full of imagination and longing for the strange and wonderful world outside.

Their lack of sufficient strength had led to them being caught by the Queen Mother, which bruised their pride. If not for this, they probably wouldn't have stayed to cultivate so diligently.

Now that their cultivation had made another breakthrough and their strength had further increased, they naturally craved freedom even more.

Sha Chen nodded and said, "Your cultivation has broken through, so of course, I can let you leave. But are you really satisfied with just the Initial Quasi-sage Level?"

"The Journey to the West calamity has already begun, and the various forces of the Three Realms are joining in. Masters are emerging in great numbers, talented individuals are as common as clouds, and the strong are as numerous as rain."

"In this era, the Quasi-Saint Realm is no longer anything special. If they find out that you three are phoenixes, they would probably risk everything to capture you alive."

The three Phoenix sisters were no longer naive little girls; they naturally knew how much malice the world held towards The Phoenix Clan.

They were also aware of how tempting their existence was to the people of the world.

After hesitating for a moment, although somewhat reluctant, they ultimately decided to stay and continue their cultivation.

Sha Chen nodded and allocated some more cultivation resources to them, urging them to strive for a breakthrough to the Intermediate Stage of Semi-saint before venturing out again, saying it wouldn't be too late then.

The Phoenix sisters naturally knew that Sha Chen had their best interests at heart, so they cooperated wholeheartedly.

Just as they were about to go into seclusion, a voice came through.

"It is truly inconceivable. Hundreds of years ago, the light of three Phoenixes reached Da Luo Tian, and those three phoenixes are actually in the Flowing Sand River."

Sha Chen's expression changed dramatically. He positioned the Phoenix sisters behind him and vigilantly turned towards the entrance of the cave.

Standing outside was a Taoist with an immortal demeanor—none other than the Saint Yuan Shi.
