Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 616: Ancient Thunder Tribulation Crystal (Part 2)


The only thing that gave him some relief was that Thunder God Zhao kept everyone in suspense. Faced with many rare treasures, this person didn't fancy any of them.

Not until the end of the exchange meeting did the treasure that truly moved Zhao Sheng finally appear.

On a gigantic Magic Platform, nearly twice as large as the others, suddenly stood a mysterious figure cloaked in swirling black air.

This person was enveloped in a thick aura of evil, making it impossible to discern his features.

However, that unique Demon Evil Mysterious Light allowed all Nascent Soul Cultivators to instantly recognize this person as none other than the infamous Bi Cang Ancestor of Ximeng State.

This person hailed from the Second Tribulation High Gate Bi family in Ximeng State, a Great Cultivator with strength reaching the Nascent Soul Ninth Layer, mainly refining the cultivation technique "Void Polar Light." His lifelong passions included murder, arson, and the plunder of enemy women for lewd pleasures. Indeed, he was one of the most fearsome demons below the Divinity Transformation stage.

A strong aura of evil surged forth.

As soon as the Old Demon Bi Cang appeared, cultivators focused their gaze on the figure surrounded by the evil light, eager to see what kind of treasure he would reveal.

Bi Cang Ancestor wordlessly took out two Sealing Jade Boxes, with a wave of his sleeve, numerous talismans flew up as the box lids opened simultaneously, revealing the items inside.

One was a wholly purple, prismatic crystal, and the other an exceptionally black, gold-and-jade-like strange meteorite.

The former was approximately a foot long, wrist-thick, its surface glinting brightly, seemingly with countless rhombus-cut facets, densely covered in purple lightning rays,

At first glance, these lightning rays appeared as a smooth purple light film, like some solid form of lightning, emitting a tranquil yet mysterious vibration, seemingly poised to unleash world-destroying power at any moment.

As for the strange black meteorite, it looked ordinary, but upon prolonged observation, one would be shocked to find it could swallow all invisible light rays, making it incredibly mysterious.

"One Ancient Thunder Tribulation Crystal, one unknown strange meteorite. Only willing to trade for an item that moves me!" Bi Cang Ancestor remarked briefly.

Zhao Sheng heard this and couldn't help but smile wryly to himself.

He initially thought that having reincarnated eight times, he was already well-informed and understood numerous marvels from all universes, but now he realized he was still "a frog in a well," far behind.

These two treasures before him were both unheard of and unseen by him.

As he pondered, his gaze swept over the two treasures, lingering briefly on the black meteorite before quickly moving to the purple crystal.

That black meteorite was obviously the fossilized remains of a powerful Star Beast, an extremely sinister and evil item, but it was useless to him.

However, the Ancient Thunder Tribulation Crystal greatly attracted him, giving him a faint sense of familiarity.

The lightning power within it was somewhat similar to his Purple Cloud Thunder Power; could it truly be some high-tier... tribulation lightning power?

The more Zhao Sheng looked, the more similar it seemed; he couldn't help but speculate in secret whether this item was indeed a product of tribulation baptism.

Rumor has it that a Great Ability in the Tribulation Crossing Realm seeking to become an Immortal must transcend the three major tribulations of wind, fire, and thunder. Among them, the final Ascension tribulation thunder holds the legend of Nine Revolutions, becoming immortal.

"Nine Revolutions" refers to nine types of Heaven and Earth Divine Thunder, each transcended being called one revolution. Legend says Purple Cloud Divine Thunder is one of the nine types of Heaven and Earth Divine Thunder.

"Could this object... contain genuine Purple Cloud Divine Thunder!"

Upon realizing this, Zhao Sheng's interest surged; he was determined to acquire this item at any cost.

The next second, Mr. Dengcao's body shook as a voice sounded in his mind:

"Mr. Dengcao, please make sure to take down this piece of Purple Crystal; it will be useful to me once completed. When the matter concludes, indeed let the Fellow Daoist have what he desires." Zhao Sheng conveyed through divine thought, reaching out to Deng Cao Monk.

Upon hearing this, Deng Cao Monk's eyes instantly exploded with unprecedented brilliance, nodding slightly, his expression becoming profoundly resolute.

Soon, the cultivators vied for these two heavy treasures, bringing forth numerous treasures to try and sway Bi Cang Ancestor's heart, but he remained unmoved, his gaze lofty.

During this period, Zhao Sheng remained silent, sitting on the Magic Platform as steady as a mountain, seemingly uninterested in these two heavy treasures.

This scene caught the attention of the perceptive, causing both Bi Cang Ancestor and the Great Cultivator from the Ke family to frown slightly, as if baffled by such indifference.

Just then, Mr. Dengcao stood up with a smile, waving a large hand to reveal a square Blood Jade Box before everyone. The box emitted a layer of crystalline blood light, mingled with a faint sweet fragrance, spreading in all directions.

Deng Cao Monk waved his hand to form a mudra, and the box lid flashed open automatically.

Within the jade box was a Spirit Grass about a foot high, shaped like jade bamboo, blood-red throughout, and possessing only three leaves, each radiating multicolored halos.

The most remarkable aspect was that the top of the jade bamboo surprisingly bore a snow-white fruit the size of a chicken egg, which upon gaze emitted a vast Yang energy forward.

Instantly, it suppressed all surrounding evil filth aura!

"This is Blood Spirit Bamboo, having grown in the Ten Thousand Filth Demon Abyss for over thirty thousand years. This bamboo stands one foot seven inches, preserved in perfect condition, without any root damage, it can continue to grow.

Originally, it bore three True Yang Bamboo Fruits, of which I consumed two; the remaining fruit is undoubtedly a rare gem of this era. The next fruit won't mature for at least another seven thousand years.

The key here is that this True Yang Bamboo Fruit has matured for over three thousand years, and even without my explanation, I believe all Fellow Daoists understand its properties quite well." Mr. Dengcao boldly elaborated, revealing an air of confidence.

True Yang Bamboo Fruit is a creation with miraculous effects that refine the divine soul, cleanse the meridians and bones, and enhance the Spirit Root's aptitude.

Had Zhao Sheng not been uninterested in this item, Mr. Dengcao would have long obtained what he longed for.

However, they say good things don't fear delay, and now Mr. Dengcao's opportunity has arrived.

Such divine wonders and precious treasures startled all Nascent Soul cultivators and pleased five other Great Cultivators, especially Bi Cang Ancestor, who didn't blink an eye.

Bi Cang Ancestor had reached his life's limit after cultivating to the Nascent Soul Ninth Layer with Dual Spirit Roots.

Having stagnated in cultivation for over seven hundred years, watching his lifespan near its end, yet never glimpsing even an iota of breakthrough opportunity.

Bi Cang Ancestor was almost desperate when the appearance of True Yang Bamboo Fruit instantaneously reignited hope in his heart, faintly revealing a wider future.

The True Yang Bamboo Fruit, he was determined to seize! Even a True Immortal must not snatch it!

"... Fellow Taoists, whoever can offer an item that moves me, this True Yang Bamboo Fruit will be theirs! Please make your bids!"

As soon as Mr. Dengcao finished speaking, the atmosphere became exceedingly solemn, and none of the Nascent Soul cultivators dared to speak, their gaze quickly falling on the few Great Cultivators.

Unable to contain his desire, Bi Cang Ancestor was the first to contact Mr. Dengcao through divine thought.

The Great Cultivators from the Ke, Ling, and Jin families, seeing the situation, also quickly sent covert transmissions.

After a lengthy and frequent secret bidding, Bi Cang Ancestor ultimately laughed longest, successfully exchanging the True Yang Bamboo Room for the Ancient Thunder Tribulation Crystal and strange black meteorite, accompanied by a substantial amount of Mystic Crystal Origin Qi.

Zhao Sheng remained seated, his eyes flashing, contemplating something.

Before long, the exchange meeting concluded, with various Nascent Soul cultivators dispersing.

After only a moment, Mr. Dengcao eagerly sought Zhao Sheng, immediately placing the Ancient Thunder Tribulation Crystal and strange black meteor before him without a word.

"You may take this Void Meteorite back. As stated previously, the Ancient Thunder Tribulation Crystal alone is sufficient." Zhao Sheng's gaze briefly lingered on the two treasures as he spoke plainly.

Having said this, he retrieved the illusion-black Stone Core from his sleeve, calmly presenting it to the other party.

Mr. Dengcao rejoiced, eagerly grasping the Demon Emperor Stone Core in his hands, stroking it repeatedly in a display of deep attachment.

"Taoist Zhao is indeed trustworthy. I greatly admire you. May you accept this meteorite. In the future, if I'm facing difficulties, I earnestly hope for your aid!"

Zhao Sheng didn't expect the other would come forth with such a statement.
