Chapter 779: Chapter 779: Looking Out from the Shoulders of Giants (Second Update)
This grand hall of illusions was none other than the Thunder Palace!
Amidst the starry sky.
Ye Feng was startled for a moment.
Before leaving, he had left behind many Thunder Talismans with the intention that those fated to do so would integrate with them and then pass through the Thunder Palace Tribulation.
In doing so, the Heavenly Emperor Star would also become a lower realm of the Shenzhou Continent.
But even he hadn’t anticipated that someone would break through their bottleneck at this critical moment, calling forth the phantom of the Thunder Palace.
“I… I don’t know anything!”
The youth who had triggered the Heavenly Tribulation faced the direct, unrelenting gazes of countless people, waving his hands repeatedly, indicating that he was also panicked.
“Heavens!”
“Could that be the Heavenly Palace?”
“Really?”
“It must be an illusion!”
“Could it be that this youth cultivator, who can call forth a Heavenly Tribulation with the illusion of the Heavenly Palace, is a rare genius of this era?”
“Such a pity!”
“Yes, at a time of peril for the Heavenly Emperor Star, such an extraordinary genius has appeared; I don’t know whether to be happy or sorrowful!”
Many elder figures sighed continuously.
If it weren’t for Devouring Star, a formidable enemy, the emergence of such an extraordinary genius on the Heavenly Emperor Star would be an incredibly jubilant affair, one that could bring prosperity to the Heavenly Emperor Star.
But now, the stars are about to be extinguished.
Such a genius is doomed to be a fleeting brilliance.
“What is this thing?”
“Is it tasty?”
These were the sounds made by Devouring Star.
He stuck his head out, getting ready to move closer.
This scene immediately terrified the youth undergoing tribulation, making him almost wet himself with fear and tumble from the pinnacle of the high peak.
“Stop him!”
“Send this genius away, for one day, he will become the hope of our Heavenly Emperor Star!”
Many elder figures tore through the void, arriving next to the youth facing tribulation, preparing to risk their lives to send him off.
“Dream on if you think you can escape!”
Devouring Star let out a scoff and exhaled a breath as turbulent as a storm, which struck towards the youth and others undergoing tribulation.
“Not good!”
The crowd’s expressions filled with terror.
At this critical moment, a tall figure interwoven with lightning stepped out from the illusionary Thunder Palace.
As he appeared, he dissipated the foul breath.
“Who is that…?”
The crowd stared at the mysterious figure at the entrance of the Thunder Palace, their pupils contracting sharply, faces filled with shock.
“Who’s playing ghost tricks over there?”
Devouring Star eyed the Heavenly Saint body of Ye Feng and found that with his own cultivation level, he could not see through him.
“To obstruct the people of Shenzhou’s lower realm from undergoing tribulation, your crimes merit death!”
The Heavenly Saint body’s voice thundered as he extended a hand, motioning towards Devouring Star.
Snap!
A terrifying Heavenly Thunder struck through the starry sky like a lethal bloom, and before the astonished eyes of the onlookers, it effortlessly pierced through the head of Devouring Star.
A First Generation Quasi-Saint Level Giant Beast had fallen!
Only then did the body of the Heavenly Saint gradually fade away.
Heavenly Emperor Star.
Countless people witnessed this scene and were rooted in place.
Boom, boom, boom!
At this time, many cultivators on the Heavenly Emperor Star had breakthroughs in their realms due to the integration with the Thunder Talismans, initiating their own tribulations.
Subsequently, hundreds of phantom-like Thunder Palaces emerged.
Elder figures such as Heavenly Emperor Longsong, Shenhe Heavenly Emperor, and others were dumbfounded at this scene.
“This… So many extraordinary geniuses?”
“Haha, this is fabulous!”
They were overjoyed, dancing with delight.
But before long, one by one, the cultivators passed their tribulations, and following the calling in their hearts, they entered the Thunder Pool within the Thunder Palace.
After viewing the Merit List, people began to understand.
“Alas!”
“It turns out, I am not an extraordinary genius.”
“We are just cultivators who have merged with the Thunder Talismans from the Shenzhou Upper Realms, and that’s why we can undergo tribulation.”
The tribulation-crossing cultivators were disheartened.
Soon, the terms Shenzhou Upper Realms, Thunder Palace, and Heavenly Saint Ye Feng spread rapidly on the Heavenly Emperor Star and gradually expanded along the entire Road to Sainthood.
Everyone was very intrigued by the mysterious Shenzhou Upper Realms.
…
Among the stars.
Ye Feng let out a breath of relief.
“At last, the matter is settled.”
He appeared very relaxed.
A moment ago, it was he who had been controlling the Heavenly Saint body, instantly killing Devouring Star from a distance.
As the Thunder Talismans became popularized across all major stars on the Road to Sainthood, it wouldn’t take long before these stars would all become lower realms of Shenzhou.
The remnants of the Heavenly Dao would thus grow much stronger.
…
Misty Sect.
Ye Feng had already returned to this place.
He began to deduce.
When Emperor Beihe created the Road to Sainthood, he was only a Third Turn Quasi-Saint. Although he was a prodigy, there were still many loopholes in these formations.
Using the Heart of Wisdom, Ye Feng quickly patched up the loopholes.
“Standing on the shoulders of a giant, one indeed sees farther, clearer, and more comprehensively,”
After a long while, Ye Feng reflected.
He extended his hand, and a super-complex formation made up of various runes appeared in his palm.
“With this formation, Thunder Palace can operate at overcapacity for a certain period of time.”
“Sainthood is no longer an extravagant dream.”
That is, Physical Body Saint Path without having to pass through Heavenly Tribulation; otherwise, he would still be stuck at the peak of the Four-Turn Quasi-Saint.
Ye Feng entered the Thunder Palace.
He took out the Destiny Treasure Bead, only to find that it had not yet completed its transformation successfully; it seemed to lack the Heavenly Earth Origin Essence, which left him feeling somewhat helpless.
But, the next moment,
Ye Feng’s consciousness was pulled into a vast space.
This was the cognitive realm of the Heavenly Dao Remnants!
“With the increasing number of lower realms, I have grown much stronger. These three strands of Heavenly Earth Origin Essence, I give them to you,”
The Heavenly Dao Remnants, dressed in rainbow attire, stretched out their hand, and above their palm, three streams of colorful Heavenly Earth Origin Essence appeared.
“Thank you…”
Before Ye Feng could finish his sentence, the surroundings quickly became blurred and unclear, and when he came back to his senses, he found himself back in Thunder Palace.
In his left hand, he held the Destiny Treasure Bead.
In his right hand, he held the three strands of Heavenly Earth Origin Essence.
“This time, the Destiny Treasure Bead should be able to transform successfully, right?” Ye Feng couldn’t help but mutter to himself. As he spoke, he merged the three strands of Heavenly Earth Origin Essence into the Destiny Treasure Bead.
Hum!
It rapidly bloomed with a dazzling brilliance, officially transforming into a Four Star Transcendent Spirit Treasure.
Beyond that, it would become Sacred Arms.
Near Thunder Palace,
Rolling Tribulation Clouds were gathering quickly; this was the Heavenly Tribulation for the Destiny Treasure Bead. Ye Feng threw it into the Tribulation Cloud, letting it undergo the tribulation.
“Soon, I will have to make my attempt at the Third Turn Quasi-Saint,” Ye Feng mused as he sat cross-legged outside the Thunder Palace, quietly waiting.
Thunder Palace was still amassing Thunder Origin.
He calculated that it would take seven more days to accumulate enough energy to undergo his tribulation.
To modify the very core of Thunder Palace, he had to wait until the Destiny Treasure Bead advanced to the Four Star Transcendent Spirit Treasure and then use the enhanced Power of Destiny it would offer to achieve that transformation.
For now, all he could do was wait.
…
Around the Shenzhou Continent,
People from all major forces were hunting down the Celestial Reincarnators who had exposed their identities, achieving tremendous victories.
Whitefloat City.
An auction was underway.
“One thousand Upper Grade Spirit Stones!”
“I bid one thousand one hundred!”
Cultivators at the Void Break Realm from all over Shenzhou were seated, bidding for today’s three hundred Crimson Moon Compasses.
On stage,
The host, Li Wanqing, listened to the bidding war among the Void Break Realm elders with eyes full of joy.
As the host of the Auction House, she could take a one-thousandth commission from the final sale price.
A little from each item added up to a significant sum.
“After this auction, I should be able to save enough to train in the Spirit Gathering Tower for three months. That’s great!” Li Wanqing was very happy.
To further expand its commercial value, Misty Sect rented out a floor of its Spirit Gathering Tower to outsiders.
Training there, one could enjoy a time flow ten times faster.
This was a huge temptation for many cultivators, and every month, people competed to bid for a chance to train there.
The auction ended quickly.
On the way to Misty Peak,
Li Wanqing walked side by side with Gong Qingqiu.
“The Crimson Moon Compass really is popular. Sister Gong, can I use my saved Spirit Stones to train in the Spirit Gathering Tower for three months now?”
“Of course, you can.”
“That’s wonderful!”
Li Wanqing was overjoyed.
After joining Whitefloat City, Li Wanqing had provided many valuable suggestions for its development and solved numerous problems.
Therefore, Gong Qingqiu hoped she would join their Sect, so she asked,
“Wanqing, would you like to join our Misty Sect?”
At these words, Li Wanqing was stunned.
