Chapter 681: Chapter 413: Reaching the Heavens and Climbing Heavenly Pillar Mountain
The Earth Abyss was vast and profound, an infinite expanse of searing magma gushing incessantly from the Earth’s core, constantly churning and flowing. Upon the dark red sea of fire, at a single glance, one could occasionally spot enormous and heavy fire bubbles slowly swelling up, each as large as a mountain.
On this day, the magma in the Earth Abyss Fire Sea roiled ceaselessly. Earth Fla Island, resembling a primordial leviathan, grandly and slowly swam from the furthest reaches of the Fire Sea, crushing any mammoth fire bubbles that stood in its path.
Boom!
When an endless and towering grey wall appeared ahead, Earth Fla Island gradually ca to a halt, stirring up massive waves of magma that even reached a nearby dark red fire bubble nearly thirty miles in diater.
The giant fire bubble burst with a mighty boom, releasing a wave of roaring noises. A massive amount of highly toxic gases rapidly expanded, forming a hurricane of poisonous clouds that howled and swept across all directions.
As the hurricane of poisonous clouds approached, the golden fire shield above Earth Fla Island flickered faintly a few tis before stabilizing once more.
“After thirty years of travel, we’ve finally reached the end,” Zhao Sheng said, standing in front of Chongming Hall on a high platform, as he gazed at the endless wall in front of him with a touch of sentint in his low murmur.
At this mont, a crowd of Golden Core of Zhao and Foundation Establishnt Clan mbers stood behind him, with varied expressions, all casting their gazes toward their Ancestor.
Shortly after, Zhao Sheng, without turning his head, gave his command, “Pass the order, proceed according to the plan.”
“At once!” The crowd, energized by the command, responded in unison.
Then, they transford into beams of tunneling light, dashing to various parts of Earth Fla Island.
In no ti, four massive white columns of light rose in the northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest directions of the island. The columns of light broke through the fire shield and plunged straight into the dim, hazy void.
Three breaths later, a series of thunderous, muffled booms sounded from the depths of the upper grey mist, causing the grey mist above the island to shake violently, rolling and receding around the edges, gradually revealing the rugged do of earth and stone.
Soon after, one Cloud Boat after another surged from the island, soaring towards the do.
When the Cloud Boats reached the do, they paused montarily before collectively firing hundreds of grey light columns.
As the grey light columns touched the soil and rocks of the do, they imdiately lted into big holes, and large clumps of mud dropped into the Earth Abyss Fire Sea below, sinking into the magma in a blink of an eye.
In just a mont, a giant pit nearly ten miles in diater began to take shape.
This was the grand plan that the Southern Sky Zhao Family had been scheming for a hundred years, titled “Heaven Piercing Earth Sinking.” The goal was to excavate a tunnel upward from a deep point beneath Heavenly Pillar Mountain to connect with Heavenly Pillar Mountain’s main Spirit Veins.
Once they broke through the main Spirit Veins, the Zhao Family intended to construct an extraordinarily large Earth Cave Spirit Realm with the Spirit Vein as the core.
The final step of the plan was to carve out a series of maze tunnels leading to the surface, ensuring the safety of the spiritual realm and facilitating communication with the outside world.
The ambition of the Zhao Family was extrely great!
Once the spiritual realm was successfully established, it would undoubtedly lay the foundation for the prosperity of the Zhao Family for tens of thousands of years.
For this purpose, the Southern Sky Zhao Family did not hesitate to collude with the Purple Sun and Ksitigarbha sects to overthrow the Earth Fla Palace.
For tens of thousands of years in the Tianzhu Realm, nurous powers had covertly coveted Heavenly Pillar Mountain’s Fifth-Order Main Spirit Veins, but all attempts ended in failure.
There were many reasons for the failures, but the most crucial was that the main Spirit Vein was linked to the Ascension endeavors, so no Divinity Transformation True Monarch would ever allow anyone to covet it.
However, following the conclusion of the second war between realms, the circumstances underwent a drastic change.
A Great Ability from the Upper Realm was in a seething rage, to the extent that upon his return to the Spirit Realm, he “accidentally” exploded the Ascension Array, leaving it nearly irreparable.
At that ti, all Divinity Transformation True Monarchs from the Tianzhu Realm had followed the Great Ability to ascend to the Spirit Realm, resulting in a period of six to seven hundred years during which Heavenly Pillar Mountain had no True Monarch in charge.
Only when Zhao Xuanjing ascended to Divinity Transformation and finally stepped onto the Ascension Platform did he discover that the Ascension Array was damaged to the point of near-impossibility of repair.
This outco directly severed the path of all future Divinity Transformation True Monarchs in the Tianzhu Realm, and Zhao Xuanjing was affected most of all.
For the cause of Ascension, Zhao Xuanjing summoned all the Array Masters of this realm to Heavenly Pillar Mountain in an attempt to repair the Ascension Array.
Alas, even with the combined efforts of the top Array Masters, they only managed to reconnect the broken Crystal Columns, and then progress stalled.
Therefore, a hundred years ago, under hints from the Ancestor, the Nascent Soul Ancestors of the Southern Sky Zhao Family began planning the “Heaven Piercing Earth Sinking” project.
Today was rely the beginning of the plan, which would take at least a hundred years to fully realize.
Zhao Sheng stood on the high platform for a full three days, watching the digging proceed exceptionally smoothly without any unforeseen issues.
Seeing this, he called over Zhao Qiongfeng, the Golden Core in charge of the plan, and after giving him a few detailed instructions, he felt at ease to leave.
Three months later, the red-haired youth Zhao Hongyan, carrying his Treasure, excitedly left Earth Fla Island onboard an Earth Breaking Shuttle to “make a na for himself” in Dragon City.
Zhao Hongyan had thought he was unbounded as the fish that leap in the sea and sky, unaware that a sly old monster had already prepared a grand feast for him, one from which he could not return without tasting so hardship.
When his disciple rushed toward freedom, Zhao Sheng also quietly departed from Earth Fla Island.
…
Heavenly Pillar Mountain, Zhao’s Secret Mansion
The Ancient Spiritual Roots towered into the sky, shading the sun with their vast canopies, creating a spiritual realm. The ethereal spirit clouds perated, intertwining among them, like an Immortal Realm.
Having just entered the secret mansion, Zhao Sheng was imdiately dazzled by the nine bright and gentle “Suns.”
