Chapter 602: Chapter 377: Star God?

Time passed unknowingly, and the darkness slowly faded away.

Zhao Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, only to feel a bout of weakness within his body, as if his Primordial Qi had been greatly damaged.

He looked around, and it was still the familiar blue sky and white clouds, with the twin suns hanging high in the sky…

But Zhao Sheng quickly noticed something different.

The world around him seemed more real than before, with a light breeze bringing a chilling intention, and the sunlight was scorching hot, warming his body.

Zhao Sheng took a couple of steps forward, flicked his finger, and a thread of Sword Light shot out from his fingertip, piercing into the ground and leaving a fine hole.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng’s brow furrowed slightly.

Because he noticed the power of the Sword Light was much smaller than the previous two times, or rather, this world had become more and more real, while his own strength had greatly decreased.

“…Is the ‘world’ becoming more real, or am ‘I’ gradually merging into this world?”

Zhao Sheng didn’t rush to move, but stood still and pondered to himself.

He sensed the True Yuan within his body and realized his cultivation had fallen to around the Golden Core Fourth Level.

If he “died” one or two more times, he feared he wouldn’t even be able to maintain the Golden Core Realm, and by then, the situation would probably become even more perilous, perhaps even reaching a state of despair.

With this thought, Zhao Sheng’s expression grew even more solemn.

…

In the Forbidden Land behind Qiu Ling Sect’s mountain, the Ancestor Hall was hidden among a valley, with the Array Light Shield outside the hall reflecting sparkling spirit light under the sunlight.

Zhao Sheng concealed his figure and silently tunneled through the air from afar, landing noiselessly on a hill.

At this moment, Saintess Ling Luo had long been waiting there.

Upon seeing Zhao Sheng reveal himself, a flash of unusual light passed through her eyes.

“Taoist Zhao, why are you so late?”

Zhao Sheng glanced at her and said with a light laugh, “I just dealt with a private matter. Fellow Daoist Ling Luo, you look a bit pale. Could it be that you also…?”

Before he could finish, Saintess Ling Luo interrupted, “Indeed! Aren’t you the same?”

Although she couldn’t discern how much strength the other party had left, Ling Luo was convinced that he wasn’t much better than herself, barely maintaining the Golden Core Realm was already quite good.

Zhao Sheng didn’t dwell on this topic. He turned his head to look around, spreading his Divine Sense secretly.

“One, two, three…”

Zhao Sheng was slightly surprised, as there were seven different auras present in his sensing, each like a Torch in the darkness, distinct and undisguised.

With a thought, he immediately understood the intentions of the others.

The Ancestor Hall was openly standing there.

If one wished to enter, it was unavoidable to reveal oneself, and thus hiding one’s figure would be utterly superfluous.

Just then, a tunneling light suddenly flew out from behind the mountain and brazenly descended in front of the Ancestor Hall.

The Magic Light converged, and it turned out to be Tianluozi.

“Let’s go!”

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng immediately called out to Ling Luo and then soared into the air, flying towards the Ancestor Hall at high speed.

Saintess Ling Luo’s thoughts raced, she stamped on the ground and her figure flashed, closely following behind Zhao Sheng.

At the same time, one tunneling light after another arrived from all directions, not much slower than Zhao Sheng and the others.

In an instant, there were eight figures on the plaza in front of the Ancestor Hall.

Zhao Sheng and Ling Luo occupied the southeast corner of the plaza, scanning the others and quickly identifying their identities.

Aside from Zhao Sheng and her, those who had arrived also included Tianluozi, Xiao Jiuke, Taoist Bo Zhun, Xin Baiqin, as well as the couple Zuo Lingsun and Ziling Fairy.

Originally, a total of thirteen people had entered, but currently, only eight showed up, leaving five absent.

Zhao Sheng thought to himself, “Daoist Miao Miao hasn’t appeared either. Is he truly dead, or has he not found the target? Or is he simply hiding in the shadows, hoping to benefit as the Fisherman? What about the other four, do they also wish to play the Fisherman?”

While he pondered, Tianluozi let out a cold laugh, sweeping his gaze over the seven people present and said sternly, “Since you’ve all found this place, very well…before we go in, why don’t we have a little confrontation?”

Tianluozi had practiced various Divine Sense Secret Methods in his early years and believed his spirit had weakened much less than others, still retaining sixty percent of his strength, hence he did not fear an assault from others.

That’s why he made such a “grandiose statement.”

Of course, Tianluozi also had another plan, and the others were unaware of what he was plotting, making it easy for them to fall into his trap.

Heh heh!

At this moment, Zhao Sheng suddenly chuckled nonchalantly, “Senior brother, what you said is a bit too much. We’re all from the same sect, why should we resort to fighting?”

Upon hearing this, the others immediately came to their senses.

But Zhao Sheng didn’t wait for the others to react, and after speaking, he turned and walked to the front of the Ancestor Hall, bowed in salute, and loudly said, “Peak Master Han Zhang of Artifact Refining Peak, today I wish to enter the Ancestor Hall to pay tribute to the predecessors, I request the Ancestor to open the door.”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a passage wide enough for two people split open in the Array Light Shield surrounding the Ancestor Hall.

Zhao Sheng smiled slightly and stepped through the Array Light Shield.

With a creak, the main doors also opened slowly under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Seeing this, Tianluozi was secretly infuriated, while Ling Luo, Xiao Jiuke, Zuo Lingsun, and others hurried to emulate.

“Peak Master Han Fa of Alchemy Peak…”

“Inner Sect Transmitting Elder Gui Nan…”

“…”

Soon after, all eight people entered the Ancestor Hall in succession.

Looking around, the entire grand hall was designed in the Heavenly Round and Earthly Square fashion, with the ceiling like a canopy, painted with suns, moons, stars, as well as all kinds of creatures and insects.

The ground was covered with square chunks of creamy-white Jade, which upon closer examination turned out to be Mid-grade Spirit Stones. These Spirit Stones were emitting Spiritual Energy under the effect of the Formation.
