Chapter 199: Formidable Sword Vapor
Chapter 197
The Ruling Star Divine Sky Scripture was lacking the Zhoutian Star Divine Guide. It was a method used for cultivating Star Divines at the acupoints and the core method of the Zhoutian Star Celestial Scripture. Coincidentally, Chen Jingzhai had condensed a Zhoutian Divine Spirit.
All the 129,600 Zhoutian acupoints lit up and nurtured the embryos of divine spirits. If the cultivators from Star Divine Clan found out about this, they would be shocked beyond belief before killing Chen Jingzhai.
The core and key orifices of the complete Zhoutian Star Celestial Scripture were in the Zhoutian Star Divine Guide, which was the foundation of cultivating the sky scripture and the beginning of the celestial path. That was a top secret.
After all, it was related to the inheritance of celestial scriptures. Since Chen Jingzhai’s Zhoutian Divine Spirit was very similar to the Zhoutian Star Divine Guide, he would not let go of the opportunity no matter what. He would use all his means to obtain the spiritualization of the Zhoutian acupoints.
“It seems that I am fated to cross paths with this scripture!” Chen Jingzhai murmured.
He did not need the Zhoutian Star Divine Guide. He could completely change his practice now to the Ruling Star Divine Sky Scripture. With that, he could naturally break through the Golden Core passage and nurture his own Star Deity.
His future path would be smooth, and he could continue to cultivate. Even if he had to undergo True Immortal of Tribulation, it would still not be out of reach. For any cultivator, that was a great opportunity.
Even if he had to face Star Divine Clan directly, he would not stop cultivating this method. However, Chen Jingzhai was different. He followed the Path of Technique Creation and only cultivated the spell techniques he created so that he could practice spells.
Nonetheless, that was not his intention. Now that he had successfully achieved Complete Foundation Plane, he would definitely received benefits. He gained the power of a Golden Core Sage, which was not difficult to cultivate.
From Chen Jingzhai’s point of view, technique creation was the most suitable path for him. With the Primordial Essence World in his hands and his special talents, he could go even further. The True Immortal of Tribulation would not be the end of his journey.
“If I switch to Ruling Star Divine Sky Scripture, I will be restricted in the future. If I cultivate it and reach the True Immortal of Tribulation, I cannot avoid being entangled with Star Divine Clan. But if I follow the Path of Technique Creation, there will be no more limits in the future as long as I accumulate enough cultivation.
The Essence Refinement Card has already been distributed, so I’m not in a hurry to open Grotto-heavens Marketplace. Otherwise, it would be too deliberate. I shall wait until I leave the Eastern Ocean and set foot on the Woods Ocean Ancient Path.”
After thinking about it carefully, the anxiety in Chen Jingzhai’s heart slowly dissipated. He returned to his previous calm state. Since he had embarked on the Path of Technique Creation, there was no reason to give up halfway.
He set up Grotto-heavens Marketplace in Primordial Essence World and refined the Essence Refinement Card. His main purpose was to create a platform for harvesting resources and creating techniques so that he could pave his future ahead.
To him, item alchemy inheritance was something that could be studied, unlike the cultivation method, which was unnecessary. Some of the spells involving the power of the stars were very eye-opening and could be learned.
On the thirty-sixth floor, the cosmic starry scene quickly receded. Other than a futon, there were two spiritual treasure sources and some jade slips in the huge space inside the tower.
Chen Jingzhai did not rush forward. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the jade slips. His divine mind entered Primordial Essence Space. With the help of the power of the Supreme Sky Master, he began to comprehend the Ruling Star Divine Sky Scripture.
The sky scripture had two major resources for Chen Jingzhai. One was to condense the body of the Star Divine, and the other was the method of condensing the main and auxiliary cores. Both of which could be cultivated when in the Foundation Establishment Plane.
Chen Jingzhai thoroughly spent 24 hours combing through the chapters in the Ruling Star Divine Sky Scripture, from the meditation passage to the Golden Core passage. He now knew how to condense and polish the Golden Core passage in the future by cultivating the sky scripture.
All the insights were integrated into Chen Jingzhai’s Foundation Establishment passage. After that, he gained a direction to derive the Golden Core passage. One was to condense a special physique, and the other was to condense the Golden Core acupoints.
After three days and three nights, the Supreme Sky Master finally opened his eyes. He casually deposited the Ruling Star Divine Sky Scripture at Archive Pavilion at Grotto-heavens Marketplace. Just like the item alchemy inheritance, he would not show it to the public for the time being.
Afterward, Chen Jingzhai’s divine mind exited the Primordial Essence World. He returned to his original body and opened his eyes silently. The lingering feeling in his mind had not disappeared, and all kinds of thoughts were pouring in. In the end, he sighed softly.
“It’s still not possible. I have already created celestial bones in my entire body. If I were to cultivate the body of the Star Divine, I must use the power of the stars to purify again. At that time, the power of the stars will conflict with the power of the celestial bones. I still need to think of a perfect way to unify all the powers in the body.
I have an idea for this. The formation of Daoxuan Peak is the best choice. With the acupoints as the eye of the matrix, the consistent combinations can perfectly communicate with all the spirit deities.
There is a Zhoutian Star Formation Guide in the Zhoutian Star Celestial Pole. If I can comprehend and cultivate it, I will definitely benefit a lot.
Plus, condensing the Golden Core can also be done with that formation.”
Chen Jingzhai thought to himself. He did not expect the final solution would return to the formation.
It did not matter whether it was Star Deity or divine spirit. He concluded that his acupoints spirit response was the key. If the acupoints were combined to form different formation patterns, they could perfectly absorb the power of the stars. Nevertheless, there were still many barriers that had yet to be resolved.
Chen Jingzhai could not immediately create the Golden Core passage. However, with this scripture, he now had an idea. This time, it would not be a loss.
After recomposing himself, Chen Jingzhai immediately began to look at the jade slips on the thirty-sixth floor.
There was everything – from item alchemy, alchemy, talismans, formations, poisonous magic, beast-taming, puppetry to spiritual plants. To Chen Jingzhai’s surprise, the jade slips in each field were superior-grade products.
He did not even care about the two spiritual treasure sources. He instantly immersed himself in the jade slips and continued to study, absorb and digest the knowledge in them. That improved his attainment in all aspects.
While Chen Jingzhai was in Seclusion Training, the Eastern Ocean was not calm.
The whole Eastern Ocean could not rest with Chen Jingzhai’s inheritance of the True Venerable Spirit Plane and the spread of the news of him killing Zhang Ye the Little Jupiter and Hua Anxiang. Many cultivators were looking for Chen Jingzhai’s whereabouts.
Some were planning to pick up the scraps, while others were after the reward. There were many daring cultivators in the Eastern Ocean. All of them wanted to know the whereabouts of Chen Jingzhai.
It did not take long for Mystic Sound Pavilion to release the news of Lord Yu’s demise and his fall. Everyone who learned of the news was in disbelief and shocked. Many cultivators kept speculating. However, there was no conclusion in the end.
Lord Yu had died in Primordial Essence World while fighting in the deep ocean. Even though Lord Yu had died, his cultivation did not reincarnate back to the world. As such, it was impossible to locate his whereabouts.
Due to that, everyone continued to speculate, not knowing whether it was the cultivators of Luo Sheng Sword School or Chen Jingzhai who killed a Lord. Since the cause was unknown, people became more frenzied.
If Chen Jingzhai were the one who fought and killed Lord Yu, that would be enough to prove that he had a spiritual treasure in his hand or an even better treasure. That alone would be enough to encourage many people to take risks.
Only intelligent people would not make a move and secretly wait for Luo Sheng Sword School’s response. All of them understood that the fall of a Lord would not be the end of the world. On the contrary, it could be the beginning.
For hundreds of thousands of years, no Lord had ever fallen in the Eastern Ocean. Previously, a Lord’s fall would have been due to the sect’s intention. Rogue cultivators were not in the position to go against the sect back then.
In the meantime, Venerable Zhang had been blatantly searching for Chen Jingzhai, ignoring Mingyuan Dao Sect’s warning and attracting the attention of Luo Sheng Sword School. Many people already had a premonition of what would happen next.
Sure enough, three days after Lord Yu’s death, a sword cultivator from Luo Sheng Sword School, Gu Hongzi, the elder of the Golden Jade Sword Sect, the master of Sage Lu, a True Venerable Spirit Plane Cultivator, took action.
Gu Hongzi had used a single sword to locate Venerable Zhang in the Eastern Ocean. With just one attack, Venerable Zhang had to break his arm to escape. However, no matter where he ran, Gu Hongzi would find him.
The sword vapor was as vast as a galaxy, directly shattering 18 islands in the Eastern Ocean, destroying more than 30,000 rogue cultivators, and injuring nearly 100,000 rogue cultivators.
In the end, Mingyuan Dao Sect and Mystic Sound Pavilion had each sent a True Venerable Spirit Plane Cultivator to go forward and directly block Venerable Zhang. Before Venerable Zhang could speak, his Spirit Plane was instantly destroyed by Gu Hongzi’s sword.
A Spirit Plane Cultivator’s life had ended in such a manner in the Eastern Ocean. After his death, clouds of essence power appeared in the sky over the Eastern Ocean. That was the scene of a True Venerable Spirit Plane giving back to heaven and earth after his Spirit Plane was destroyed.
Gu Hongzi had slew Venerable Zhang. He did not utter a single word throughout his way down the mountain. His formidable sword vapor had silenced everyone. No one dared to speak of Chen Jingzhai again.
