Chapter 547: Chapter 376: The Emergence of the Celestial Rainbow Ring and the Terror of the Ancient Gods (Part 2)
[Yet the warrior and mage system of twenty thousand years cannot disappear completely. Cultivators without Spirit Roots still follow the warrior’s path, with their limit similar to martial artists. With good fortune, they might save up some cultivation resources for their descendants.]
[Some magic from the mage system has been integrated into the local cultivators’ own magic, making the cultivators from the Gods Continent more varied and flexible in their magic.]
[The Collection Department’s first accomplishment was handed to you, mainly due to the mass harvesting of Seven-Colored Mysterious Gold and Spirit Communication Jade on the Gods Continent, unifying the materials for the second edition of the Celestial Rainbow Ring.]
[Meanwhile, in places like Elf Forest, South Sea, Land of the Far North, and Cold Forest, several weakened versions of Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects were discovered. The Alchemist Association invented three kinds of effective pills for Foundation Establishment—Meridian Opening Pill, Spirit Protective Liquid, and Gathering Yuan Liquid. Taking all three together yields thirty percent of the traditional Gathering Spirit Pill’s efficacy.]
[These three pills are called the Foundation Establishment Treasures by cultivators, easier to obtain than Foundation Establishment Pills. Ordinary cultivators could accumulate one over twenty to thirty years, and if willing to risk their lives in the Secret Realm World, they might gather all Foundation Establishment Treasures within their lifetime, lowering the Foundation Establishment threshold.]
[The number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators thus experienced a surge.]
[Meanwhile, the deities of the Gods Continent were screened down to twelve seats, with only these twelve deities able to lead the continent’s faith. Each deity is equivalent to a Level 1 God, with the Alliance including some seasoned alliance cultivators who have despaired in upgrading into the Incense Dao.]
[The twelve seated gods and the Law Enforcement Department jointly oversee the Gods Continent, whose territory size is comparable to the vast Secret Realm World of the Celestial Rainbow Cultivation Realm, gradually being absorbed by the Alliance.]
[At the same time, unseen to the common eye, the Old God Alliance lurks in the shadows of the Gods Continent.]
[The Old God Alliance opposes the sub-alliance, so the Gods Continent isn’t absolutely peaceful.]
[Only the top of the Alliance knows that the Old God Alliance’s role is to channel faith, converting it into Soul Power for the deities who act as "charge treasures" in the Celestial Rainbow Tower laboratory.]
[The existence of the Old God Alliance prevents the Gods Continent from stagnating, allowing the Alliance to identify more promising talents.]
[In New Source Era 5272, you successfully broke through to Late-Stage Golden Core, completing your cultivation at Mid-Stage Golden Core.]
[In New Source Era 5273, the River Map Inference was completed, providing you a perfectly tailored cultivation technique.]
[This technique can absorb five drops of True Blood, truly transforming your body into a Five Elements Spirit Body without the need to bear an array, requiring merely a vast amount of Five Elements Spiritual Objects, which are now easy for you to acquire.]
[In New Source Era 5275, the second internal test of the Assistive Cultivation System was completed, orchestrated flawlessly by the Alliance’s senior members, all disciples receiving the Celestial Rainbow Ring achieved progress.]
[In New Source Era 5278, the Alliance officially announced the release of the first batch of Celestial Rainbow Rings.]
[However, due to limited materials and the deities’ limited Soul Power, the Celestial Rainbow Ring can only be issued to direct members, with the Alliance holding competitions to recruit promising talents from the loose cultivators and commoners into the direct line, while eliminating those direct members who lack progress.]
[The cultivation speed of these cultivators is immediately visible to the naked eye.]
[With the Celestial Rainbow Ring, the Foundation Establishment Treasures, the way forward for the Qi Refining Cultivators within the Alliance has opened up.]
[Word spread, and all cultivators were invigorated, aiming to earn merit within the Alliance and become direct members, so that even if they didn’t use it, they could pass the qualification to their descendants.]
[Every cultivator in the Alliance now has a goal, accelerating the development of the numerous Secret Realm Worlds.]
[You, too, can feel the progress of the River Map Inference ability.]
[In New Source Era 5280, while practicing a cultivation secret technique, your subordinate reported that the Earth God finally revealed the whereabouts of the Primordial Continent.]
Zhong Heng sat cross-legged in the secret chamber.
Surrounding him were five distinct colors.
Outside, what could serve as the highlight Spiritual Objects of various auction events were now piled into five heaps here.
A series of refining arrays was arranged atop these Five Elements Spiritual Objects.
Flows of five colors of gases explored Zhong Heng’s seven orifices.
Zhong Heng could feel the transformation of his body.
He opened his mouth, and five drops of True Blood flew out, settling around to suppress these Five Elements Spiritual Objects for cultivation assistance.
These five drops of True Blood were still too high in grade for Zhong Heng, otherwise, he wouldn’t need to gather these Five Elements Spiritual Objects, as refining these five drops alone would forge a powerful Five Elements Spirit Body.
The cultivation technique is called "Acquired Five Elements."
It has little relation to the Five Elements Technique and was inferred through the River Map as a secret technique.
This technique can later forge a Five Elements Spirit Body.
But the cost is great, requiring an enormous amount of Five Elements Spiritual Objects, and not just that, it also needs high-grade Five Elements Supreme Treasures for aura guidance.
Zhong Heng satisfies these conditions, with the True Blood of the Five Elements Sacred Beasts playing a significant role in this process.
Once Zhong Heng’s cultivation was complete, he stepped out of the secret chamber, greeted by a long-waiting attendant.
"President, the Earth God finally spoke!"
Zhong Heng smiled faintly.
At the laboratory beneath Celestial Rainbow Tower.
The laboratory had been expanded several times, now transformed into a comprehensive experimental chamber.
Even many cultivators from the Hundred Arts Master Association were stationed here to develop new types of technology.
From outside, it seemed like a vast academic base.
But upon reaching the core, you could find tens of crystal coffins from which mist wafts, converging in the center of Celestial Rainbow Tower.
At the center of all these crystal coffins is an extraordinarily large crystal coffin.
From this crystal coffin, the most mist drifts, representing the most Soul Power imparted to the Rainbow Artifact Spirit within.
Inside it seals the most powerful existence among the gods, the Earth God, Monieya.
Monieya donned a green dress, elegance intact
Yet she looked pale, murmuring something softly.
Beneath Monieya’s crystal coffin lay dense arrays, these were enchantment arrays, adding layers of negative status onto her.
Also surrounding were considerable mists, all serving enchantment purposes.
Despite these measures and constant Soul Power absorption day and night, Monieya still managed to hold out without revealing the location of the Primordial Continent, befitting an ancient god equivalent to a Fake Nascent Soul.
Zhong Heng waved his hand, everything was withdrawn, with some attendants wanting to persuade but retreating as Zhong Heng gestured them away.
Monieya’s body floated before Zhong Heng.
A mark of Reincarnation Dream Realm was on her forehead, a specialty of a certain sect from the Qiuxu Cultivation Realm; Zhong Heng had recruited several disciples to this place, finally yielding results.
Zhong Heng nodded to the woman beside him, the cultivator who performed this technique.
The woman formed seals with her hands, and Monieya’s face showed pain.
"The source of Endless Sea..."
"Beneath the millennium ice layer of the Land of the Far North..."
"Continent walked by the deities..."
"No! No! There lies a Demon God!"
"You can’t go there! The continent will be destroyed because of it!"
Monieya babbled.
Every word was captured by Zhong Heng’s ears.
White light emitted from Zhong Heng’s eyes, and his Divine Sense surged into the mark on Monieya’s forehead...
"Remains of the Creator God..."
"The Primordial Demon God awakened from the remains, devouring everything in the world, converting all into his nourishment."
"No one can go, no one!"
Monieya suddenly opened her eyes, and Zhong Heng surprisingly saw fear within them.
An ancient god with cultivation equivalent to a Fake Nascent Soul living for a millennium actually feared...
