Chapter 1346: New Discovery

Xiang Shaoyun’s astral cosmos sea was growing bigger and bigger, and its transformation was becoming clearer and clearer. A continent seemed to have formed, and different spiritual plants could be seen growing on it. The blaze flower, ghostbloom, and vicious tiger gold lotus had matured. The gold tree sapling had grown taller, while the little tree of life was looking more and more extraordinary.

The spiritual herbs he had gathered during his travels were also growing healthily. Not only had they matured, but new buds were also rapidly growing. All that was the result of Xiang Shaoyun’s breakthrough, as though his energy acted as a supplement for all those plants.

Xiang Shaoyun did not even dare to imagine just how his astral cosmos sea would look after it turned fully corporeal. After all, the astral cosmos sea was supposed to be an incorporeal space that could store non-living things. His astral cosmos sea, on the other hand, was capable of storing life. Apart from that, his astral cosmos sea could even allow plants to grow. This was a feat that would shock the entire world.

If news of that spread, he would probably become a target the entire world would want to dissect and study. Since he had created something that had never appeared before, the masses would naturally want to study him and see if they could replicate the same feat.

Day after day went by. In a flash, 11 months passed. Many in the Saintforce Realm had entered the Heaven Battling Realm while the rest had also become pseudo-Saints. One could say that everyone had benefited greatly from this cultivation session.

Xiang Shaoyun had also grown by leaps and bounds. After his breakthrough into sixth-stage Soul Foundation Realm, he had been cultivating in silence. He did not waste even a second of his time, as he knew that any waste of time would allow others to pull far ahead of him. Thus, he did not allow himself to slack. He had now reached ninth-stage Soul Foundation Realm.

His speed of advancement was incredible as he had grown by four stages within a year. Not even Money’s previous breakthrough was as astonishing. As Money had entered the Saintforce Realm with Xiang Shaoyun, he had also absorbed a large amount of energy and gained considerable benefits as well. After leaving, he could probably reach ninth-stage Demon Sovereign Realm after going through his lightning tribulations.

After reaching ninth-stage Soul Foundation Realm, Xiang Shaoyun stopped cultivating. He knew that his rapid advancement wasn’t entirely beneficial. With the remaining time, he wished to suppress his cultivation and solidify his foundations.

It was only a matter of time before he entered the Saint Realm, so he was in no rush to force a breakthrough at the cost of not having solid foundations. After suppressing his different astral energies to the point he could no longer suppress them, he stopped.

“Since I still have some time, I might as well search around and see if there are any treasures here,” muttered Xiang Shaoyun as he started roaming the Saintforce Realm.

Apart from the nine stars hanging in the sky, the Saintforce Realm did not seem to have anything else. However, Xiang Shaoyun wanted to try his luck and see if he could discover something. With everyone busy cultivating, nobody would think about anything else. Xiang Shaoyun was the only one with some spare time to roam around.

After scanning his surroundings, Xiang Shaoyun found that he couldn’t spread his senses too far away because something seemed to be obstructing them. He had no choice but to move cautiously, careful not to disturb anyone who was still cultivating in silence.

He wasn’t exactly a kind person, but he also wasn’t one to do something that would harm others without benefiting himself.

The entire Saintforce Realm was enveloped in nine different colors. Tiny hills dotted the landscape. There were no imposing mountains, wide lakes, or expansive rivers.

After several days of searching, Xiang Shaoyun discovered many cultivators. He also stumbled upon many cultivators on the verge of breakthrough. He merely moved on silently without disturbing any of them. Just as he was about to give up on his search, he discovered something.

Not far from him was a clump of multicolored radiance. The ball of light greatly resembled the cocoon that would form around him when he absorbed nine energies. At the same time, it also slightly resembled the primal inception energy in his astral cosmos sea.

His heart started thumping.

He unhesitatingly rushed over, aiming to see just what that ball of light was. Just as he was about to reach the ball of light, he sensed two powerful auras approaching from different directions. At the same time, two palms reached for the ball of light, trying to snatch the ball of light before anyone else.

Xiang Shaoyun instantly realized that he wasn’t the only one who had noticed the ball of light. Without any hesitation, he threw two punches toward the two palms, stopping them from obtaining the ball of light.

“You’re courting death!” someone roared.

“That thing is mine. Stand in my way, and you’ll die,” said a different person.

Xiang Shaoyun had thought that he was about to obtain some treasure, but he ended up encountering two opponents instead. More importantly, both of them were Heaven Battling Realm cultivators. It was obvious they had broken through in the Saintforce Realm and were currently searching around for treasures.

Anything in the Saintforce Realm should have no owner. Thus, Xiang Shaoyun naturally wouldn’t give up so easily. At this point, he was already able to see that the ball of light was, in fact, a piece of nine-colored crystal. The crystal was only the size of a thumb, yet it emanated a power that greatly resembled his primal inception energy. He suspected that this crystal was the crystallization of nine different energies. If that was the case, this crystal would be very important for him.

“Leave. Don’t lose your life over this thing,” said Xiang Shaoyun as he wasn’t about to give up on the crystal.

He then started walking toward the crystal, ignoring the two experts near him.

“Hehe, a brat that has yet to reach the Heaven Battling Realm dares to act so conceitedly? You must be tired of living,” said the middle-aged man to the left of Xiang Shaoyun. He then swung his hammer at Xiang Shaoyun.

The hammer carried with it an incredible might that could turn mountains into dust. Not everyone could face the attack of a Saint. Facing the hammer, Xiang Shaoyun raised his brow. His figure instantly flickered before appearing before the crystal. He wanted to first retrieve the crystal before doing anything else.

However, the second person had been paying close attention to him. The moment Xiang Shaoyun reached for the crystal, he stabbed his spear at Xiang Shaoyun.
