Chapter 470 - 248: Establishing the Celestial Law, Awing the 4 Continents
The Great Li Treasure Vault.
Inside a secret chamber.
Wang Xiao sat cross-legged.
Tidal waves of energy raged from his body.
With every wave released, the power was enough to crush Space, nearly forming permanent spatial rifts.
Wang Xiao’s own form became ethereal, flickering between reality and illusion.
Though he was clearly in the Real World, he gave off the feeling of being separated by an infinite gulf of Time and Space.
Until, at a certain moment, all the commotion gradually subsided.
Wang Xiao’s figure shed its illusory state and merged as one with the world.
’I’ve finally returned to Tier Eight!’
Wang Xiao let out a long sigh of relief.
After a hundred years of arduous cultivation, he had been constantly using the power of Star Iron to expand his Grotto Heaven.
Furthermore, the starlight he had absorbed at birth contained a power comparable to that of a planet’s consciousness.
This allowed the Grotto Heaven within him to continuously evolve!
Therefore, even though Wang Xiao hadn’t performed Cutting the Three Corpses to elevate his physical body, Great Daoist Nascent Soul, and True Spirit to their absolute limits, he still succeeded. Relying on the unique nature of his naturally formed Primordial Spirit and the boost from the Chaos Cyan Lotus Seed, he had managed to expand his Grotto Heaven to a size of ten light-years.
This was ten times larger than the one-light-year Grotto Heaven, the limit achieved by the Tier Twelve mighty figures in the Celestial Universe Star Domain!
Beyond that, relying on his own profound foundation and his True Spirit—which he had once severed himself—he had successfully broken through the Heaven Shattering and Void Transformation realms to reach the level of a Tier Eight Life.
Of course, the Star Iron in this treasure vault, a material nearly comparable to Marvels, had been almost completely refined by him.
Without this Star Iron, Wang Xiao wouldn’t have just failed to break through to a Tier Eight Life in a hundred years; he might not have managed it even in a thousand or ten thousand years.
This Cosmic Spiritual Material might not be overly important to the Cultivators of this world, but for Wang Xiao, it was exceptionally useful.
’It’s still a bit smaller than my original body’s limit of a one-hundred-light-year Grotto Heaven, but crushing the Tier Eight Life forms of this Heaven and Earth should be no difficult task.’
’Still, I can’t get careless. Some of these Tier Eight Life forms surely control Marvels, and each of those Marvels has its own wondrous use.’
Over the past hundred years, Wang Xiao had also unceremoniously fed all the Curiosities in the treasure vault to the Book of Space-Time for it to refine.
A total of six of them!
Unfortunately, the Book of Space-Time hadn’t activated any new abilities.
It seemed Curiosities no longer held the same appeal for the Book of Space-Time as they once did.
To make the Book of Space-Time rapidly accumulate energy and activate new abilities, it would probably need to refine Marvels, or perhaps even Immortal Objects.
However, even the Great Li Treasure Vault didn’t contain a single Marvel, let alone any Immortal Objects.
’If I want to obtain Marvels, my only option is to target the various supreme factions!’
Wang Xiao rose to his feet.
With his current strength, combined with the Marvel known as the Heaven-Flipping Seal and the Immortal Object that was the Chaos Cyan Lotus, he should be more than capable of sweeping away the mighty titans of the various supreme factions.
Even if these mighty titans joined forces, they would be no match for him.
He already knew that the total number of experts on the other Three Continents who surpassed the Fate-Knowing Realm was likely no more than eight.
Each supreme faction had, at most, only two or three experts who had surpassed the Fate-Knowing Realm.
’But this Li Tianhe lacks the nerve. He doesn’t have the guts to summon the experts from the other continents who have surpassed the Fate-Knowing Realm to come and pay their respects!’
Wang Xiao’s Divine Thought swept out, and he immediately discovered that the Great Li Dynasty’s heaven-worshipping ceremony had already begun.
Moreover, many Cultivators from the Outer Continents had come to observe.
Unfortunately, there wasn’t a single expert among them who had surpassed the Fate-Knowing Realm.
Those who came were basically all Cultivators at the Fate-Knowing Realm.
In fact, Wang Xiao even spotted Zheng Xuan of Lankes Mountain from the Western Continent, one of the men who had besieged him all those years ago.
Lankes Mountain was the supreme faction of the Western Continent.
Its status was equivalent to that of the Great Li Dynasty on the Southern Continent.
Furthermore, the Demon and Demon Dao of the Eastern Continent and the Daoism sect of the Northern Continent had also sent people to observe the ceremony.
The heaven-worshipping ceremony was, one could say, incomparably grand.
’However, Zheng Xuan and the others are probably not here for something as simple as observing the ceremony.’
’I’d guess they also want to see whether this Jade Emperor, Li Mutian, is truly dead or not!’
’Looks like today’s heaven-worshipping ceremony is going to be quite a show.’
A playful, intrigued expression appeared on Wang Xiao’s face.
This Li Tianhe didn’t want to offend the other Three Continents.
But he didn’t realize that those Three Continents would never pass up the chance to target a Great Li Dynasty that lacked a Saint King Realm expert to hold the line.
The principle that the weak are destined to be beaten applies just as much in the Cultivation Realm.
...
「Meanwhile.」
Outside the Imperial Palace.
Before the Ancestral Mountain of the Great Li Dynasty.
Li Tianhe, dressed in a Dragon Robe, wearing a Crown and Tassels, and with golden boots on his feet, stood before a long table laden with Incense.
Below him stood the many City Lords and court officials of the Great Li Dynasty.
Along with the observers who had come from the various continents.
"Let the heaven-worshipping ceremony begin!"
Following the high-pitched announcement, Li Tianhe, having completed all the preparations, began to chant an incantation while his hands formed a series of complex Seal Techniques.
In an instant, strands of Destiny, coalesced from the Dragon Veins around him, transformed into pillars of purple qi that shot into the heavens.
BOOM—
Rumbles of thunder immediately echoed from within the clouds.
Gale-force winds howled as serpents of lightning danced and rolled.
A torrential downpour, like a cloud hanging low from the sky and thick with a potent aura, descended from above.
It spread out in all directions, with the Great Li Dynasty at its center.
Everyone bathed in the raindrops felt as if all of Heaven and Earth had come alive, brimming with Spirituality.
Cultivating in such an environment, one’s progress would surely be faster than anyone else’s.
"The Great Li Dynasty’s heaven-worshipping technique is truly extraordinary! To be able to Call the Wind and Summon the Rain, to reshape the very environment of Heaven and Earth... No wonder the Ancestral Master called this a land of outstanding people and spiritual energy!"
