Cultivation Starts from Farming

Chapter 1118 - 469: Nine Nether Elder Joins Forces with the Dual Saints (Part 2)

The aura that originally flowed like a galaxy suddenly came to an abrupt halt for an instant.They have been plotting for hundreds of years, exhausting their efforts, even going so far as to incite realm upheaval to plunder resources and fortunes from all sides, for what purpose?

Is it not for breaking the limit of this realm, seeking the elusive chance of ascension, to journey to the legendary Upper Realm in pursuit of a higher path and true immortality?

This is their deepest desire and greatest obsession!

Now, this Divinity Transformation Ghost Cultivator who has entangled with them for years and is full of deceit, dares to boast that he will help them ascend to the Upper Realm?

It’s simply absurd!

Although they have their own plans, the success rate of ascending to the Upper Realm is really not high.

The Star King forcefully suppressed the shock in his heart, his sharp gaze like a sword, locked tightly on the Nine Nether Elder: "Ascend to the Upper Realm? Just you? Nine Nether, if you wish to toy with me, then leave this avatar behind today!"

"Your true form, I will not let it go either!" the Star King said word by word.

Though the Moon God did not speak, her cold gaze was also full of scrutiny and extreme suspicion.

Facing the doubts, the Nine Nether Elder was calm and unhurried, his gaunt face showing a profound and inscrutable smile: "Since I dared to come, naturally I have something to rely on."

"Both of you, please be patient, the path to ascension is not beyond reach."

However, the Nine Nether Elder did not immediately reveal the so-called "method of ascension," but suddenly changed the subject, with a ghostly chill he proposed a surprising condition:

"But before that, I need both of you... to give me a hand, first eliminate that Xu Ping."

"Eliminate Xu Ping?"

Upon hearing this, the Star King and Moon God sitting on the throne furrowed their brows slightly.

The Star King’s gaze pierced like lightning through the misty starry glow within the hall, locking onto the Nine Nether Elder: "Why him? Isn’t this person on the same path as you?"

He needed to understand the motive to judge whether this old ghost’s words were true or if there was another agenda.

On the dried-up face of the Nine Nether Elder appeared a fitting grimness and hatred, and in a hoarse voice, he briefly recounted the process of the battle at the Heaven-Suppressing Sect that day.

Of course, the Nine Nether Elder concealed his attempt to manipulate the Emperor Xuan’s Heaven-Suppressing Seal to backlash against Xu Ping.

It’s said that after the two jointly severely injured Cloud Thunder Celestial Venerable, Xu Ping suddenly turned against him, using bizarre swordsmanship and a powerful physical form to launch a sneak attack, heavily injuring him, nearly dispersing his soul, ultimately forcing him to abandon part of his essence to flee awkwardly.

"This person is ruthless and heartless."

"Now, borrowing the fortune from Cloud Thunder’s fall, he has probably already achieved Divinity Transformation!"

The Nine Nether Elder’s tone was grave, "With his capability, having just undergone Divinity Transformation, ordinary Divinity Transformation Cultivators would probably struggle to be his opponent."

Upon hearing this, the Dual Saints furrowed their brows even tighter.

They didn’t particularly care about the slaying of Cloud Thunder Celestial Venerable; the changing overlords of the Nanchuan Realm meant little to them.

Xu Ping’s achievement of Divinity Transformation, however, was a piece of news that demanded their utmost attention.

They had crossed swords with Xu Ping before, when he was merely at the Nascent Soul stage, relying on that astonishing Sword Intent and endless methods to contend with them, even faintly threatening them.

Now that he had stepped into Divinity Transformation, with his life level leaping forward, his strength was bound to undergo an earth-shattering transformation!

"With the potential and combat power this person displayed then, once he achieves Divinity Transformation... one-on-one, I am afraid neither of us might definitively defeat him," the Moon God’s cold voice rang out, carrying a trace of barely perceptible apprehension.

This is a judgment based on facts, forcing them to concede.

The Nine Nether Elder observed and sneered inwardly, continuing to fan the flames: "Given this person’s vindictive and ambitious nature, and holding such power, he certainly won’t be content sitting in such a small realm as Nanchuan, wasting away."

"Sooner or later, he will set his sights on the broader Wind Origin Realm, towards... the Star Palace where both of you reside."

Upon hearing this, the Star King let out a disdainful cold laugh: "Discontented? Achieving Divinity Transformation, he’s restricted by the realm, bound by fortune, what can discontentment possibly achieve?"

"Could he break this iron rule that has existed for millennia?"

"Confined to one place is his destined fate!"

This is the consensus of all Divinity Transformation Cultivators in the mortal realm, and it’s their helpless reality.

Unless there is a heaven-defying opportunity, after Divinity Transformation, their advancement in cultivation is immensely restricted, able only to rule within their limited domain.

Yet, the Nine Nether Elder’s next words were like a thunderbolt, completely shattering the Dual Saints’ "consensus," also igniting the most ardent flame deep within their hearts.

Facing the Star King’s sneer, the Nine Nether Elder calmly, word by word, stated:

"No, he is different."

"Because... he holds in his hand... a Profound Celestial Spiritual Treasure!"

"What?"

"Profound Celestial Spiritual Treasure?!"

Boom!

It was as if divine lightning directly struck the Ten Thousand Stars Hall!

Always seated with supreme majesty, the Star King and Moon God, at this moment, could no longer maintain their composure, abruptly standing up, their faces filled with extreme shock and disbelief.

Profound Celestial Spiritual Treasure.

These four words seemed to possess magic, instantly captivating all of their attention.

As the pinnacle existence in this realm, how could they not comprehend what a Profound Celestial Spiritual Treasure signifies?

It surpasses the Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, containing Innate Laws.

It possesses the capability to transform worlds and defy fate!

Since Emperor Xuan self-destructed it ten thousand years ago, perishing alongside numerous Divinity Transformations, this realm has not heard of any Profound Celestial Spiritual Treasure appearing ever since.

Never did they expect such a heaven-defying item, existing only in legends and ancient texts, to reappear.

Moreover, it is held in Xu Ping’s hands!
