Chapter 621: Shi Tianhao Steps into the Nirvana Realm
[Upcoming Opportunity One: Half a year from now, a surge of azure light will shoot into the sky above the Sun-Moon Sect, signifying the opening of the Supre Cangqing's estate.
Ying Tianhao will lead the cultivators of Hidden Dragon Island to the Sun-Moon Sect. Shen Mo will also attend upon invitation.
Upon hearing the news, many powers from the Inner Sea, Outer Sea, and beyond will arrive.
Those holding golden pages, including Shen Mo, will be drawn into the estate ahead of others, obtaining a large number of treasures.]
[Upcoming Opportunity Two: ...]
After reading about the upcoming opportunities, Shen Mo fell into deep thought.
He now understood clearly.
The Cangqing Golden Page was in fact the key to opening the estate.
When the ti ca, the secret of him possessing a golden page would inevitably be exposed.
However, with seventy-one Dao patterns on his body, Shen Mo wasn't worried that anyone could do anything to him.
As long as no Supre Realm cultivator appeared, even when facing a Nirvana Realm expert with a hundred Dao patterns, he could at least ensure his survival.
"Golden page holders will be drawn into the estate ahead of ti. Perhaps there will be even greater opportunities."
"That's good news."
Shen Mo gave a slight nod.
Entering early ant having much more ti than others to search for treasures.
In the estate of Supre Cangqing, there were bound to be countless treasures.
Those who entered first could seize the most precious divine weapons, rare pills, and elixirs.
"Still half a year left—I'd better try to increase my number of Dao patterns a bit more."
Shen Mo placed more supre-grade spirit stones into the formation's core and once again activated the Thousandfold Illusion Martial Array.
While refining his martial skills, the exotic fla continued relentlessly burning his manifestation.
His strength was steadily growing, bit by bit.
Three months later, on Mingyue Island, in a secluded cultivation chamber—
A mighty aura surged outward.
It resembled vast rivers and oceans.
Yet, the mont it appeared, it was swiftly suppressed by the chamber's formation and eventually sealed entirely.
Except for cultivators with extrely sharp senses, almost no one could detect this aura.
Inside the cultivation chamber, Shi Tianhao suddenly opened his eyes.
He sprang to his feet and shouted excitedly.
"Nirvana Realm! I've finally stepped into the Nirvana Realm!"
Shi Tianhao was thoroughly satisfied.
Until now, he had been stuck at the half-step Nirvana Realm, constantly restrained by others.
Even the lower-grade sacred artifact Crimson Sun Heavenly To and the ancient shell that might contain dragon clan martial arts had been snatched from him.
Now that he had broken through to the Nirvana Realm, his strength had soared dramatically!
Shi Tianhao let out a low roar, and the War Dragon manifestation appeared.
On it were ten ancient and profound Dao patterns.
What set him apart from ordinary cultivators was that most could only use external flas to burn Dao patterns after entering the Nirvana Realm.
But he had already begun burning Dao patterns when he was still at the half-step Nirvana Realm.
These ten Dao patterns had been forged over ti using the Millennia Essence of Earth Fire.
"Now that I've just stepped into the Nirvana Realm, I already have ten Dao patterns."
"Plus, with my dragon clan martial techniques, I can crush cultivators with twenty Dao patterns."
"Even if I face Nirvana Realm cultivators with thirty Dao patterns, I still have the strength to fight them."
Shi Tianhao was extrely satisfied with his strength.
"Next, I should join the Sun-Moon Sect."
He looked toward the direction of Great Sun Island.
"Originally, if I had a golden page, I wouldn't need to rely on the Sun-Moon Sect and could've focused entirely on cultivation to further raise my power."
"Unfortunately, the first golden page was seized by Shen Mo, and the second one, hidden within the Crimson Sun Heavenly To, was taken by that unfamiliar cultivator."
A cold look appeared on Shi Tianhao's face.
Having both golden pages taken from him had forced him to join the Sun-Moon Sect and use their path to enter the estate of Supre Cangqing.
This detour would now cost him significant ti he could've spent cultivating.
It was entirely possible that this slight difference in strength would cause him to miss out on the most important treasure within the estate.
"The Cangqing Reincarnation Cauldron... I must obtain it!"
Shi Tianhao's eyes blazed with intensity.
He carried the bloodline of the Dragonkin—his mother was an ordinary mber of the dragon race.
However, his mother's ancestor had been a true dragon.
That ancestor was one of Supre Cangqing's collateral descendants.
Because of this, he had long known about the existence of Supre Cangqing's estate.
He also knew what restrictions were inside, and what treasures were hidden within.
Most of the sacred artifacts that Supre Cangqing used during his lifeti were left inside the estate, awaiting retrieval by future generations.
Among them, the most important was naturally the Cangqing Reincarnation Cauldron.
This cauldron was a high-grade sacred artifact.
First, it possessed unmatched defensive power.
It was thanks to this cauldron that Supre Cangqing had the confidence to challenge the Saint Realm, and even survive against one.
Second, it could purify and convert all forms of energy between heaven and earth, transforming them into whatever the user required.
Whether it was spiritual energy or vital essence—
Whatever the user needed, the cauldron would convert.
The energy refined by the Cangqing Reincarnation Cauldron was incredibly pure, needing no further refinent.
One only had to absorb it to directly enhance their cultivation.
Supre Cangqing had rapidly risen to power precisely because of this cauldron, eventually becoming recognized as the strongest below the Saint Realm.
Third—and most importantly—
The cauldron could accelerate the process of burning Dao patterns!
With the Cangqing Reincarnation Cauldron in hand, he too could ascend rapidly like Supre Cangqing once did.
Shi Tianhao was confident that within twenty years, he could burn a hundred Dao patterns!
And in another twenty years, he would be qualified to attempt breaking into the Supre Realm!
"I must obtain this cauldron!"
"However, to acquire it, I must possess a golden page."
"There are a total of nine golden pages. The easiest one to obtain should be the one held by Shen Mo."
"Based on his current strength, he likely has no more than thirty Dao patterns."
"Moreover, he doesn't see as a major threat."
"When the ti cos—whether by borrowing another's hand or acting myself—I must seize the golden page!"
A fierce glint flashed through Shi Tianhao's eyes.
It was clear he had killing intent.
...
Another three months passed.
A surge of azure light shot into the sky above the Sun-Moon Sect, remaining for a long ti.
The aura of a Supre Realm expert rippled outward, sweeping across the Luo Xing Sea Region and neighboring waters.
Even in the Inner Sea, cultivators could feel the powerful dragon might and see the pillar of azure light piercing the heavens.
Azure light. Dragon might. Supre Realm.
These words together naturally stirred boundless speculation.
Hidden Dragon Island and the Treasure Alliance were the first to arrive in the Luo Xing Sea Region, testing the waters of the Sun-Moon Sect both openly and secretly.
Yet the Sun-Moon Sect was like an impenetrable fortress—water could not seep in, nor blades pierce through.
No matter what was tried, they revealed not a single word.
Only half a month later, when both the Celestial Talisman Sect and the Fla Jiao Dragon Palace arrived together—
The Sun-Moon Sect's sect master, Yue Baifeng, could no longer withstand the pressure of these two dominant powers from the Southern Archipelago, and was finally forced to speak.
As it turned out, several months ago, the Sun-Moon Sect had accidentally discovered an ancient estate beneath Great Sun Island.
They had been searching for a way to open it all this ti, but had yet to succeed.
After confirmation by the Fla Jiao Dragon Palace, it was determined to be none other than Supre Cangqing's estate.
At first, the Celestial Talisman Sect and the Fla Jiao Dragon Palace had tried to suppress the information, hoping to monopolize the estate.
However, rumors quickly began to fernt within the Sun-Moon Sect, Hidden Dragon Island, and the Treasure Alliance.
Before long, the matter of the Cangqing estate's appearance spread like a raging storm—
From the Inner Sea, across all eighteen Outer Sea regions!
