Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 337 - 254 Unknown Crystal Plate and Forbidden Breaking

Chapter 337: Chapter 254 Unknown Crystal Plate and Forbidden Breaking

“There is something inside!” Zhao Sheng’s eyes flickered, and suddenly, his heart filled with anticipation and surprise.

He abruptly strummed his fingers, sending over ten strands of Geng Metal Sword Energy crisscrossing through the air, instantly enveloping the stele.

For a moment, stone chips flew wildly, and dust rose around them.

As layer upon layer of green stone was shaved away, the glow beneath the stele became increasingly dazzling.

Zhao Sheng waved his sleeve, and the Geng Metal Sword Energy immediately disappeared.

By this time, most of the stele had been shaved away. In its central area, there was a yellow crystal plate about a foot square, embedded as if it had naturally formed there, and the whole stele seemed to be nothing more than a thick shell for this crystal plate.

Zhao Sheng stared at the exposed part of the crystal plate. Seeing Taiyi Spiritual Texts shimmering on its surface, he let out a light sigh.

Without hesitation, he summoned Purple Gold Spiritual Power in the palm of his hand. With one hand, he reached forward as if his fingers were hooks and grabbed the top of the crystal plate, pulling it upwards with force.

Indeed, it was extremely heavy!

But this time, prepared, Zhao Sheng used his strong physical body to forcefully pull out the entire crystal plate from the stele.

A yellow crystal stele emerged in front of Zhao Sheng, its runes flowing, shimmering with a faint, haunting glow.

Zhao Sheng briefly examined the Spiritual Text on it, couldn’t help feeling joyful, and gently tapped the crystal plate. Immediately the plate trembled slightly and rapidly shrank in size. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into the size of a palm and with a whoosh, it disappeared into Zhao Sheng’s sleeve without a trace.

Then, Zhao Sheng slightly calmed his excited heart and casually made his way toward the palace.

It wasn’t long before Zhao Sheng quietly entered a wide green stone square.

Looking across it, he saw a dilapidated palace with one corner collapsed, standing nearly a hundred zhang tall, built entirely from extraordinarily hard and rare Blue Steel Stone. Numerous and strange demon beasts were carved on the exterior walls of the palace. Despite enduring countless years, it still emitted a majestic and imposing aura.

Zhao Sheng was greatly surprised to find that the architectural style of the palace strikingly differed from that of the Tianzhu Realm.

Whether it was the carved demon beasts or the style of the palace, Zhao Sheng had never seen them before. There was no mention of them in any ancient books he had read before, as if the palace did not belong to this world.

“Could it be that some great being from another world built this after crossing into the Tianzhu Realm?” Zhao Sheng murmured to himself, baffled.

However, now was not the time for idle thoughts. In front of the palace’s main gate, numerous cultivators were using various Spiritual Artifacts, Puppets, and other treasures, desperately attacking this bizarre palace.

Zhao Sheng glanced around, taking everyone in at a glance.

At first look, among these people were at least three whose aura was unfathomable, one of whom even had a huge and ferocious One-Horned Ghost King illusion floating behind him, clearly a rare True Golden Core Master.

These three Golden Core Masters were undoubtedly the leaders here.

Indeed, this was the case.

At this moment, the square was roughly divided into three loose factions, each led by one of the three Golden Cores.

Zhao Sheng quickly recalled and recognized the identity of the True Pill master from the One-Horned Ghost King illusion—it was clearly the Golden Core Ancestor Master of the Soul Transformation Sect from the Demon Path, the Soul Servant Old Monster.

Zhao Sheng’s arrival quickly caught the attention of others.

Soon, three figures quickly flew up from the crowd.

“Honored sir, may I inquire if you belong to the Righteous Path, are a Loose Cultivator, or share an affinity with the Demon Path?” a burly, blue-faced man with loose hair asked first.

Seeing this, the other two men also bowed and introduced their own affiliations, indeed representing major sects and the Cave Heaven Independent Practitioners respectively.

Zhao Sheng thought for a moment, smiled, and responded with a cupped fist, “I hail from humble origins, so I’ll stick with the Taoist friends from the Pocket World City for comfort.”

Given the current situation, not joining a faction was not an option.

In exploration of ruins, choosing to stand alone often meant ending up as cannon fodder!

“Ha ha! Fellow Taoist, please follow me. This old man is Fu Yue, also slightly known in Pocket World City. And you are… what is your esteemed name?”

The white-browed elder on the far left, clad in a Clouds and Talismans Robe, burst into laughter and gestured invitingly.

Zhao Sheng followed him toward the Loose Cultivators while casually fabricating an identity: “I am Yang Qing. I am embarrassed that despite being in Pocket World City for a few days, I did not recognize Mr. Fu.”

“No harm done. Fellow Yang, your cultivation is profound—surely you’ve at least reached the Foundation Establishment Late Stage. You are young but with such a level, Golden Core is a promising future!” Fu Yue was not bothered and seemed to be casually probing for information.

“Mr. Fu flatters me! I am merely practicing a few non-mainstream Body Refinement Techniques, which is why I appear young. The Golden Core is tremendously difficult to achieve and far beyond my depth,” Zhao Sheng responded.

“Ha ha, Fellow Yang is too modest.”

“I am merely speaking the truth.”

After exchanging a few rounds of idle chatter, they arrived at the location.

Fu Yue quickly brought Zhao Sheng to meet the only Independent Cultivation Golden Core, the Iron Pan Master.

The Iron Pan Master, true to his name, had narrow cold eyes and a robust physique resembling a steel tower. His skin was dark, almost like a black ghost. His bare chest and back were marked with a four-clawed Coiled Dragon, and his face bore deep blue dragon tattoos.

This man was also the only Golden Core Body Cultivator in Pocket World City and ranked among the top five in combat power.

“Junior Yang Qing greets the True Immortal,” Zhao Sheng greeted punctiliously.

Iron Pan Master examined Zhao Sheng up and down, satisfied, he nodded: “Hmm, well-trained physique. It seems your Body Refinement Techniques have distinctive elements. If you survive this, you may seek me out in Pocket World City after. Now go and contribute your efforts with them!”
