Chapter 366: Chapter 241: Cultivation World 31
After more than fifty years of seclusion, Si Lingle broke through to the late-stage Soul Emergence.
Although she suppressed the speed of absorbing Spiritual Energy, the absorption was still swift, allowing her to break through in just a few decades.
At the same time, she also mastered Space Divine Power, now she could perform Space Movement.
The distance of her movement was the same as Jiu Jiu’s.
With the advancement in cultivation, Si Lingle went out to train and started searching for materials to refine a Space-Time Shuttle Array.
Though Zi Zhen and other friends would help in the search, who knows if they will find it.
Moreover, in this dangerous Ancient World, whether they could live safely was also a problem.
Si Lingle didn’t know that Su Jin from the Independent Practitioner Alliance was in trouble.
While she was in secluded cultivation, Su Jin encountered a Demon Cultivator and was captured by a Divinity Transformation Demon Cultivator. Su Jin was exploited, causing her cultivation to fall to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Now she has become a slave.
Xiang Chen from the Divine Blade Sect didn’t fare well either; during his training, he was severely injured by a Divinity Transformation Stage Wild Beast, damaging his Dantian and Divine Soul. He escaped using his Divine Skills.
Now he is in seclusion to heal, and it will probably take decades for his injuries to recover.
As for Zi Hui and Lu Yang from the Qingxuan Sect, the two always travelled together. They would team up with people from this world for training, so their training went relatively smoothly.
Zi Zhen, Dao Hui, and Xi Rui from the Heavenly Sword Sect teamed up together, and although their training had some setbacks, they did not encounter any major dangers.
After her breakthrough, Si Lingle headed to Star City under the jurisdiction of the Chaos Star Palace.
This Star City is the largest main city of the Chaos Star Palace, divided into four districts - east, west, south, and north.
Si Lingle entered Star City through the west gate, paying an entry fee of one hundred low-grade spirit stones, and received a wooden token.
This wooden token indicates that she is an outsider, not a cultivator of the Chaos Star Palace, and she can only stay in Star City for a month.
If the time exceeds this limit, she would have to pay spirit stones to continue her stay in Star City.
Si Lingle silently thought: The Chaos Star Palace is really good at making money, no wonder they can support so many disciples.
Becoming the greatest faction.
The Chaos Star Palace is very bustling, not only with cultivators but also with Demon Cultivators and members of the Demon Clan.
Si Lingle scanned with her Divine Sense and found that this Star City has a substantial Restriction Array, likely a Flying Restriction and others, to prevent disturbances.
An old, hunchbacked cultivator leaning on a Coiling Dragon Wooden Staff approached, his coarse cloth and hemp clothing carried the scent of herbs, yet his voice was as resonant as a bell: "Is this senior’s first visit to Star City? I am Zhao San, my family has lived here for seven generations—do you need me to show you around Star City?"
"How much do you charge?"
"Just fifty low-grade spirit stones, senior."
At this moment, some young cultivators also approached Si Lingle, saying, "Senior, I am Zhang Wu, I only charge thirty low-grade spirit stones to guide you. Zhao San is really overcharging, asking for fifty."
Then another female cultivator came to Si Lingle and offered to guide her for just twenty low-grade spirit stones.
Si Lingle looked at Zhao San, "You guide me."
Zhao San thought Si Lingle would choose Zhang Wu or the others, but unexpectedly, she still chose him.
"Senior has a discerning eye." Zhao San grinned at Zhang Wu, "Please follow me, senior, and I will give you a good tour of Star City."
After walking a certain distance, Si Lingle transmitted her voice asking: "Do you have a grudge against Zhang Wu?"
Zhao San did not expect Si Lingle to see through it all and replied: "Senior is truly perceptive to see this. Zhang Wu’s grandfather, Zhang Hai, and I were friends. Fifty years ago, Zhang Hai and I went to the Chaos Mountain Range to gather Spirit Plants."
"At that time, during the Qi Cultivation Stage, we encountered a late-stage Foundation Establishment demon beast. Zhang Hai was killed by the demon beast, and I barely escaped."
"Zhang Hai’s son, Zhang Lin, thought I caused Zhang Hai’s death, so he held a grudge against me."
"Later, Zhang Lin also died at the hands of a demon beast, and Zhang Wu thinks it was also my doing." Zhao San sighed, but Zhang Hai’s death truly had nothing to do with him.
It was because Zhang Hai stole the demon beast’s cub that they were pursued by the demon beast.
He urged Zhang Hai to return the cub, but Zhang Hai refused, so Zhang Hai was killed by the demon beast.
He managed to escape by relying on a talisman because he hadn’t stolen the cub.
As for Zhang Lin, he had nothing to do with him; it was simply Zhang Lin’s fate.
"I am already two hundred ninety-three years old, if I don’t break through in cultivation, my lifespan will reach its limit." He is currently in Foundation Establishment Perfection, and the lifespan for Foundation Establishment is three hundred years. With only seven years left, his life expectancy is nearly up.
