Chapter 285: The Ascension of the Red Emperor
Spirit Glow Island.
Wu Chen Daoist laughed lightly, "Zhao Yu actually killed the Holy Blue True Monarch! It's truly unbelievable! He must also be one of the top two dominating powers of the Blue Sky Sea now! Who would have thought he'd come this far."
True Monarch Leng Yun said, "Other than being a bit lecherous and ruthless, Zhao Yu is a decent person! I acknowledge him as one of the Blue Sky Sea's overlords."
Fairy Qin Nan also nodded slightly.
Wu Chen Daoist sighed softly, "However, with the destruction of Holy Blue Palace, the Seven Seas Sect has been given a chance to breathe. The Demon Path cultivators also have the opportunity to grow!"
The Holy Blue Palace had previously gathered so many powerful beings precisely to exterminate the Demon Path cultivators. The Holy Blue Palace had always taken it upon themselves to destroy the Demon Path, annihilating many Demon Path strongholds and killing numerous Demon Path cultivators.
The Seven Seas Sect's power also continued to shrink under the suppression of the Holy Blue Palace, with one subsidiary sect after another being wiped out, leaving only the headquarters of the Seven Seas Sect.
The Holy Blue True Monarch, seeing that it was impossible to exterminate the Seven Seas Sect, took the opportunity to collude with the Sea Demons and Demon Path cultivators, attempting to obliterate the Dan Ling Sect, which was a slightly weaker force. However, he ended up being eliminated by Zhao Yu instead.
After the news of the Holy Blue Palace being destroyed spread, the Nascent Soul cultivators who had previously joined the Holy Blue Palace scattered, and almost no one was willing to serve under Zhao Yu.
That's because the news of Zhao Yu using Spirit Poison to control Nascent Soul cultivators had long been spread by the Holy Blue Palace, the Seven Seas Sect, and other hostile forces. Those Nascent Soul cultivators were not willing to be controlled by the Spirit Poison and naturally were also not willing to serve him.
After seizing the Holy Blue Palace, Zhao Yu did not expand but began to repair the heavily damaged Mountainous Profound Light Great Array.
Two months later, the heavily damaged Mountainous Profound Light Great Array was finally completely repaired.
Holy Blue Palace headquarters.
"Chihuang, eat as much as you like!"
Zhao Yu smiled slightly and directly released the thousand zhang long corpse of the Sea Dragon Emperor.
"Wonderful, master!"
Chihuang transformed back to its original form in an instant, pounced on the Sea Dragon Emperor's corpse, and began to gnaw voraciously.
Zhao Yu activated the Dao Fruit of Devouring, aiding Chihuang as it began to refine the blood essence and flesh of the Sea Dragon Emperor.
A year flew by in an instant. During this year, Zhao Yu mainly stayed in the Holy Blue Palace to stabilize the situation, while also helping Chihuang to refine the flesh and inner cores of the Sea Demons from the Dragon Serpent Palace.
One day, within the Holy Blue Palace, an incredibly terrifying aura rose from a valley, Chihuang howled, and directly evolved into a Fourth-Order Superior true dragon demon dog.
"Chihuang has finally advanced into being a Fourth-Order Superior true dragon demon dog! Although its cultivation level might not be as high as the White Ghost Emperor, when it comes to combat power, it far exceeds the White Ghost Emperor! Even the Sea Dragon Emperor would not be its match!
The Holy Blue True Monarch, in his prime with the Holy Blue Star Palace, this Spiritual Treasure, should be able to contend against it!"
Zhao Yu looked at Chihuang, whose body was surrounded by flames and exuding a hint of True Dragon Majesty, and showed a trace of a smile.
After Chihuang's advancement, Dan Ling Sect's foundation climbed to another level, truly possessing the foundation comparable to the top dominators of the Blue Sky Sea.
Zhao Yu pondered, "This Superior Spiritual Treasure, the Holy Blue Star Palace of the Holy Blue Palace, I can only unleash about ninety percent of its power. Only a cultivator practicing the Ten Thousand Spirits Star Origin Technique can fully unleash the power of this Spiritual Treasure.
However, ninety percent is already sufficient, as long as I can refine the Heaven-Connecting Spirit Treasure, the Three Tribulations Thunder God Lance, then I can pass this Spiritual Treasure on for Xianjiao to use."
In the following days, Zhao Yu merely sent out personnel to take over several of the Holy Blue Palace's most core Fourth Order Spirit Islands and rare mines, turning a blind eye to the Spirit Islands occupied by other Nascent Soul cultivators.
He only built Array connections within the Holy Blue Palace and the Mountainous Sect, firmly grasping the two core Fifth Order Superior Spirit Veins in his hands.
Twenty years passed in a flash.
On this day, within the Dan Ling Sect, a fearsome Nascent Soul Level aura surged skyward.
Fang Shitou looked towards that direction, a hint of excitement flashing through his eyes, "Another mentor has advanced to Nascent Soul!"
Tang Ruijia also revealed an excited smile, "With this, our Dan Ling Sect now has three Nascent Soul Cultivators!"
"Having a Nascent Soul Cultivator is so great!"
"Our Dan Ling Sect has gained another Nascent Soul Cultivator!"
"Under the leadership of our Sect Master, our Dan Ling Sect will surely become even more glorious in the future!"
"..."
The birth of a Nascent Soul Cultivator filled the entire Dan Ling Sect with jubilation, signifying that the sect's power had strengthened further and its influence had grown even stronger.
An hour later, the door of the Quiet Room opened, and Nangong Shiyao emerged with a smile.
Zhao Yu smiled slightly and said, "Congratulations on advancing to Nascent Soul, Shiyao!"
Nangong Shiyao smiled seductively and threw herself into Zhao Yu's arms, speaking with a soft and gentle voice, "It's mainly because of the Spirit Pills you have bestowed upon me, my lord!
Superior Grade Infant Solidifying Pill, Superior Grade Infant Transformation Pill, Millennium Jade Dragon Rhizome Juice; without these Miraculous Elixirs, it would have been difficult for me to advance to Nascent Soul."
Zhao Yu also wrapped his arms around Nangong Shiyao, inhaling the fragrant scent wafting from her, his heart stirring slightly.
"My lord, today I too have made progress in my cultivation~! How about, we celebrate~?"
Nangong Shiyao, like a kitten, wrapped her snow-white arms around Zhao Yu's neck, breathed out fragrance like orchids, and gave him a coquettish look, suggesting.
"Good idea!"
Zhao Yu scooped up Nangong Shiyao with one arm, let out a big laugh, and headed towards the main bedroom.
A spring breeze passed, indescribably delightful.
Three months later, Zhao Yu formally held a Nascent Soul Ceremony for Nangong Shiyao.
Countless leaders of powers across the Azure Sky Seas flocked to congratulate her, and many Nascent Soul Cultivators also came personally to attend Nangong Shiyao's Nascent Soul Ceremony, bringing along their gifts.
With the end of the Nascent Soul Ceremony, Zhao Yu organized a small Nascent Soul Exchange, obtaining several materials needed for the Refinement of the Three Cataclysms Thunder God Spear from other Nascent Soul Cultivators.
After the exchange ended, the numerous Nascent Soul Cultivators dispersed, leaving only the three siblings, the Daoist Wu Chen, behind.
Daoist Wu Chen sighed and said, "Old Zhao, the activities of Demon Path cultivators have gotten more and more rampant these past twenty years. To my knowledge, three righteous Nascent Soul Cultivators have already met their demise at the hands of the Demon Path. As the leader of the righteous path, don't you think you should do something about it?"
After the obliteration of the Holy Blue Star Palace, Dan Ling Sect became the foremost sect of the righteous path, recognized as the most powerful human force next to the Seven Seas Sect. Naturally, Zhao Yu became the leader of the righteous path.
However, Zhao Yu did not have the prestige of the Holy Blue Star Palace, and the Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Azure Sky Seas were unwilling to pledge allegiance to him.
He only looked after his own territory; as long as the Demon Path cultivators did not stir up trouble within his sphere of influence, he would not dispatch experts to pursue and eliminate those Demon Path cultivators from other forces.
Zhao Yu said indifferently, "Wu Chen, since they are neither willing to join the Dan Ling Sect nor willing to serve me, why should I avenge them? Besides, you should be well aware that the influence of our Dan Ling Sect is far less than that of the former Holy Blue Star Palace and also does not compare to the Seven Seas Sect."
