100: Chapter 100: The Twin Saints of the Celestial Stars!

"Has it really condensed? It's not another Heart Demon, is it? It shouldn't be?"

Three questions in a row surged through Zhao Changsheng's mind. He snapped his eyes open, and a lustrous white light met his gaze—it was the Nascent Soul that had just successfully condensed.

This little fellow was no different from a miniature version of himself, only its features held a bit more spiritual charm and innocence. He couldn't help but want to reach out and pinch it, but seeing its tiny size, he ultimately refrained.

"I've finally succeeded!"

He breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, but then a few doubts surfaced.

"However, this advancement seemed a bit too easy. How old am I, and I've already condensed a Nascent Soul? In the entire Mortal Realm, besides me, there shouldn't be a second person who could successfully condense a Nascent Soul at such an age, right? Even in the Immortal Realm, they are probably few and far between."

After the joy, he quickly calmed down.

"It's just that taking the next step to reach the Late Nascent Soul Stage will be no easy feat."

As his thoughts churned, a trace of solemnity climbed onto his brow: "However, there is still a significant trouble at hand."

Zhao Changsheng knew very well that even though he had condensed a Nascent Soul, wanting to be mentioned in the same breath as that Star Palace Grand Elder was still a fantasy.

Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be hard to retreat unscathed, but in this dragon's den that was the Star Palace, the difficulty suddenly multiplied.

What he had to face was not just the Star Palace Grand Elder, but also the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star, who were also Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivators and could appear at any time.

This was the truly thorny part and the reason why he had to repeatedly agree to the Grand Elder's requests before.

Fortunately, he had never relented on the most critical matter of the marriage alliance, though he had agreed to other things.

"Presumably, if there are no surprises, that Grand Elder will soon assign me some tasks. I just don't know if the first to be killed will be a Righteous Path Cultivator or a Demonic Path evildoer?"

With his thoughts settled, he remembered another important matter: "Before that, I still need to refine my Lifebound Treasure. Now that I've condensed a Nascent Soul, my Lifebound Treasure has yet to be refined. This is probably an unprecedented case in the Cultivation World. After all, even for the most brilliant Core Formation Stage Cultivator, no matter how fast their cultivation speed, there's no logic in condensing a Nascent Soul before refining a Lifebound Treasure. Yet, I've become the exception."

"I might as well ask that Grand Elder if he can lend a hand."

A sharp light flashed in his eyes. "This golden thunder bamboo is a rare Heaven And Earth Treasure; I must use it regardless. As long as it's integrated into my Lifebound Treasure, I'll have a better chance of success when killing Demonic Path Cultivators or ghost path evildoers in the future."

Zhao Changsheng secretly calculated his subsequent plans and arrangements, his spiritual power slowly withdrawing as he immersed himself in the insights of his newly formed Nascent Soul.

Meanwhile, deep within the Star Palace, sensing the phenomenon from the Nascent Soul condensation completely dissipate, the Grand Elder's expression instantly became extremely solemn.

He hadn't originally held much hope for Zhao Changsheng successfully condensing a Nascent Soul, but he hadn't expected this youth to actually create a miracle.

"In that case, the arrangements for him must be reconsidered. This kid is simply too young!"

"Condensing a Nascent Soul under the age of two hundred..."

The Grand Elder stroked his beard, carefully recalling the records of past Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators in the Chaotic Star Sea, finally determining, "Besides the Star Palace's Founding Ancestral Master, there shouldn't be a second person, right?"

Now that a second person had appeared to break the record, he couldn't afford not to take it seriously.

Zhao Changsheng wouldn't be coming out of seclusion for a while, so he still had plenty of time to visit the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star and discuss with them how to handle this matter.

The core issue was how to settle Zhao Changsheng.

His potential and talent were too astonishing; it would be a pity to kill him directly.

If he couldn't be controlled, he would surely become a major threat to the Star Palace in the future. His threat would even far exceed that of the Six Paths Extreme Saint of Holy Demon Island and Third Aunt Wan.

Although those two were also Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivators, the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star were enough to deal with them. However, Zhao Changsheng had such capability just after entering the Nascent Soul Stage and had the prospect of advancing to the Soul Transformation Stage in the future. Comparing the two, Zhao Changsheng's threat was naturally greater. As for the specific choice, it would depend on the subsequent development... On the other side, after condensing his Nascent Soul, Zhao Changsheng did not immediately come out to see the Star Palace Grand Elder but chose to continue his secluded cultivation to stabilize his newly ascended Realm.

To him, nothing was more important right now than stabilizing his Nascent Soul Realm. This seclusion lasted for a full half a month.

And during this half-month, the Star Palace Grand Elder finally met the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star as he wished.

Few had ever been able to set foot in the Star Palace's Holy Temple. At this moment, light and shadows shifted within the hall as two figures slowly emerged. Seeing this, the Grand Elder immediately cupped his hands in greeting and said respectfully, "Greetings, Lord Holy Masters!"

Those two figures were a man and a woman. The woman was about twenty years old, with skin like snow and hair like clouds, wearing a set of emerald green palace robes, exuding an air of elegance and nobility.

The man was a white-robed Cultivator in his forties. His face was unremarkable, but his eyebrows were like thick ink, startlingly black and sharp. Coupled with that extremely cold face, it made people shudder at the sight.

These two were precisely the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star.

"Grand Elder," the white-robed man questioned with an unfriendly tone.

"Do you not know that the two of us are in seclusion cultivating the Primal Magnetic Divine Light and must not be disturbed? Why have you summoned us so urgently?"

"Lord Holy Master, please appease your anger!" The Grand Elder hurriedly bowed and explained, "Your subordinate truly has an extremely important matter to report and was forced to disturb the Two Holy Lords. I hope your lordships will forgive me."

"Oh?" The woman in green spoke in a much softer tone, asking, "What is the urgent matter? Could it be that Third Aunt Wan and the Six Paths Extreme Saint have joined forces to attack Heavenly Star City?"

"It is not that," the Grand Elder shook his head, his tone becoming even more respectful. "But the importance of this matter is perhaps even greater. Half a month ago, a Core Formation Cultivator under the age of two hundred successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage. This person killed the young master of holy demon island, Wen Tianren, years ago and is also a Disciple of Layman Qingyi. However, his relationship with Layman Qingyi is not good; that old fellow seems to have ill intentions toward him. Back then, he requested your subordinate to strike and injure Layman Qingyi, and your subordinate personally acted according to his words, severely wounding Layman Qingyi."

He paused and continued, "Your subordinate never expected this person's cultivation speed to be so terrifying, advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage in just a few short years. Such a Heaven-Defying speed, looking through the records of Nascent Soul Cultivators in the Chaotic Star Sea, only the Founding Ancestral Master can compare."

"Condensing a Nascent Soul under the age of two hundred?"

Hearing this, the woman in green couldn't help but blurt out, her tone full of disbelief.

One should know that even her husband beside her was over two hundred years old when he advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage. Even so, he could be ranked in the top ten among the past Holy Lords of the Star Palace.

"Your subordinate would not dare to deceive the Two Holy Lords. It is true! There is no falsehood in it."
