Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 870 - 869: Secluded Cultivation

And Spirit Beast Island was also established by a Supreme Heavenly Path Expert proficient in the Dao of Beast God. It is rumored that Spirit Beast Island lies beyond the universe, but no one knows its exact location.

Moreover, it is said that the Heavenly Path Expert who created Spirit Beast Island has disappeared over countless eras, lost within the vast river of time.

As for the Hall of All Beings, it is a cult organization within the universe. Hundreds of eras ago, this organization was the strongest power in the cosmos. Unfortunately, the Hall of All Beings acted with great publicity, spreading evil doctrines everywhere, and was eventually besieged by many powerful forces, leaving them hidden in the shadows now.

Yet regardless of the power, even the forces of the Nine Divine Kingdoms dare not underestimate the Hall of All Beings, as the Hall of All Beings openly possesses a half-step Heavenly Path Expert, and it is rumored that in the shadows lies the backing of a Supreme Heavenly Path Expert.

Whoosh!

"These forces are still too far away for me!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Chu Ming wandered around Celestial Net Star for a while and managed to gather some useful information.

According to the martial artists on Celestial Net Star, the Nine Origin Dao Palace will be recruiting disciples in two months, and at that time, anyone who wishes to enter the Nine Origin Dao Palace may participate in the palace's assessment.

However, there are certain conditions for participating in the assessment at Nine Origin Dao Palace. One is that the age must not exceed fifty years; before fifty, martial artists still have a certain degree of potential to shape, but once forty is exceeded, their cultivation foundation is basically formed.

The second condition is that the cultivation must have reached the Emperor Realm. If a martial artist has not reached the Emperor Realm before forty, it's likely that without a huge opportunity, breaking through to the Saint Dao Realm in this lifetime is impossible!

Additionally, the assessment will test whether a martial artist possesses enough talent.

In the universe with its myriad races, Chu Ming opened his mind greatly along the way, seeing many people from other races, each with bizarre appearances that left him amazed.

For example, the Multi-Eyed Race, Long-armed Race, Spirit Light Race, Fog Race, Thunder Flash Race, and others!

People of the Multi-Eyed Race appear like spheres adorned with hundreds of eyes, looking very frightening, each eye seemingly containing some mysterious force, according to legend.

As for the Spirit Light Race, which lacks a physical form, appearing as a cluster of faint green light drifting in the air, looking incredibly eerie, they are reputed to master soul power and are dauntingly tricky in the cosmos.

The Fog Race is enveloped entirely in black fog, with no face, as if a mass of dark mist wandering through the air, naturally born assassins.

The majority of these races are vassal races to the Human Race, as humanity is one of the four pinnacle races in the universe.

"Compared to Celestial Net Star, Pegasus Star does seem a bit small!"

Chu Ming remarked to Little Ai.

"Naturally, Celestial Net Star is the main star of a small star domain, but it is still a principal star, whereas Pegasus Star is nothing but a remote backwater in comparison!"

"When you reach Cosmic City, you will surely broaden your horizons even more, as there thousands of races mix, strong individuals are as common as trees, and geniuses like rain, featuring those born with innate Saint Dao Realm Dao Embryos, and those who can enhance cultivation by simply eating and sleeping with a Devouring Body, and beings born solely for battle with the Nine Heavens Battle Body!"

Upon hearing Chu Ming's words, Little Ai slowly spoke, then continued.

"Therefore, you must seize the time to cultivate. Once you reach the Saint Dao Realm, strive to pass the test of the Primordial Tower. Only by acquiring the Primordial Tower will you stand a chance to compete against these prodigies!"

"Hmm!"

Chu Ming nodded slightly, clutching his hands as a determined gleam flashed in his eyes.

Celestial Net Star also has a cultivation area, housing various cultivation rooms, yet Celestial Net Star's cultivation rooms are more lavish compared to those on Pegasus Star.

Moreover, the cultivation rooms on Celestial Net Star are divided according to one's realm into Holy Dao Cultivation Rooms and Emperor Dao Cultivation Rooms, with Holy Dao Cultivation Room meant for the practice of Saint Dao experts.

In Emperor Dao Cultivation Rooms, there's also a distinction between Celestial Rank, Earth Rank, and Human Rank categories, with Celestial Rank being the highest, Earth Rank second, and Human Rank the lowest.

On Celestial Net Star, a day's use of an Emperor Dao Human Rank Cultivation Room costs five hundred lower grade Spirit Crystals, an Emperor Dao Earth Rank Cultivation Room costs one thousand lower grade Spirit Crystals a day, and an Emperor Dao Celestial Rank Cultivation Room costs two thousand lower grade Spirit Crystals a day, equating to the value of a lower grade Imperial Artifact with one hundred days' practice.

Chu Ming originally had two hundred thousand lower grade Spirit Crystals, but spending ten thousand lower grade Spirit Crystals via the Teleportation Array left him with only one hundred ninety thousand lower grade Spirit Crystals.

"Give me an Emperor Dao Earth Rank Cultivation Room!"

Chu Ming approached the main hall guarding the cultivation room, walked to the counter, and softly spoke to an attendant.

"Twenty-five thousand lower grade Spirit Crystals!"

The green-robed attendant said respectfully.

"Here!"

Chu Ming flicked his right hand, and a Storage Ring shot from his hand, landing on the counter.

After verifying its contents, the green-robed attendant took a black card from the box within the counter and gently placed it on the table, respectfully saying.

"Number 25!"

Chu Ming picked up the card from the table, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes, and recalled the common knowledge about the universe, which Little Ai had already explained in their leisure time.

This card is a Timing Card, widespread throughout the universe. Chu Ming input spiritual power into it, and the card lightly flashed to show the number fifty.

With card in hand, Chu Ming quickly found the 25th cultivation room, its surface gleaming with precious light as various arrays augmented it, including Guardian Arrays and Spirit Gathering Arrays.

In other cultivation rooms, martial artists came and went, most around the fifth and sixth Emperor Dao Realm layers, dressed in extravagant attire, wealthy or noble.

The door to the cultivation room was ancient and plain, with intricate patterns creating a dizzying appearance, and the surface contained a deep card slot.

Click!

"Drop!"

Roaring sound!

Chu Ming inserted the Timing Card into the card slot, and the stone door of the cultivation room automatically opened, allowing Chu Ming to step inside as dense spiritual power rushed forth.

Roaring sound!

The stone door closed with a thunderous rumble as Chu Ming stood at the center of the cultivation room, taking out the secret manual of the Infinite Sword Body.

"The next fifty days will be dedicated to cultivating the Infinite Sword Body!"

Chu Ming immersed his spiritual sense into the secret manual, carefully examining and simulating the Infinite Sword Body in his mind.

The Infinite Sword Body, a lower grade Emperor Level martial art, is without a doubt the most complex martial art Chu Ming has seen thus far.

Nonetheless, upon breaking through Emperor Realm, Chu Ming's soul power had reached the seventh and eighth Emperor Realm layers, where soul power and enlightenment were directly linked. Consequently, Chu Ming finding himself smoothly cultivating the Infinite Sword Body.

Up to now, Chu Ming still isn't clear about the grade of the white light plate within his mind, though he believes its grade must exceed the Primordial Tower and Divine Brilliance Sword; otherwise, the Primordial Tower and Divine Brilliance Sword should have already detected the strange white light plate.
