Chapter 138: Soul Transformation Stage Legacy!
"immortal extermination pearl!"
The Six Paths Extreme Saint of Holy Demon Island muttered to himself.
With his experience as a Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, he had surprisingly never heard of the words 'immortal extermination pearl'.
However, according to the information sent by Madam Wen, these immortal extermination pearls were enough to kill Deity Transformation Cultivators, provided there were enough of them.
Even if Zhao Changsheng currently only had one in his hand, it was enough to kill a Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.
Because just a few Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivators, even with many Middle Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, could not be compared to a single Deity Transformation Cultivator.
Therefore, a single immortal extermination pearl was enough to completely wipe them all out.
As soon as this information arrived, it gave the Six Paths Extreme Saint a headache.
After all, he had never even heard of the immortal extermination pearl and couldn't find any way to counter it.
Unless the immortal extermination pearl was fake, something completely made up by Zhao Changsheng; only then would it be fine.
However, the Six Paths Extreme Saint felt it was likely real; in such a situation, it would be strange if he didn't have a headache.
Especially since he was actually the only Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivator who could take action right now.
The Twin Saints of Heavenly Star could not leave Heavenly Star City, and Third Aunt Wan would only act depending on the situation.
She would kick whoever was down!
If the Six Paths Extreme Saint were killed, Third Aunt Wan would definitely not make a move.
"Troublesome, it really is troublesome!"
Right now, the Six Paths Extreme Saint could be said to be suffering from a massive headache caused by this immortal extermination pearl.
"Lord Saint Sovereign, could it be that this immortal extermination pearl is a fake?"
A subordinate nearby spoke up, voicing his suspicion.
"It shouldn't be fake. Based on my understanding of him, he has no need to use such a fake item. Moreover, if he really wanted to intimidate me, he wouldn't resort to this kind of method. Most importantly, I seem to have some impression of this immortal extermination pearl, but whether it is truly that item, I'll only know once I see it with my own eyes. If it really is that thing, then it will be troublesome."
The Six Paths Extreme Saint shook his head, his expression quite unsightly as he voiced his conjecture.
"What is that thing?"
Hearing this, the subordinate immediately asked further.
"You don't need to ask about this. Just do as this Saint Sovereign commands; don't worry about anything else."
The Six Paths Extreme Saint waved his hand, directly dismissing the subordinate to carry out his tasks.
"Yes, Lord Saint Sovereign!"
Regarding the Six Paths Extreme Saint's orders, not a single Cultivator of Holy Demon Island present dared to disobey.
"Why tell the Six Paths Extreme Saint about the immortal extermination pearl?"
On Longevity Island, Madam Wen asked Zhao Changsheng before her with complete bewilderment. She truly didn't understand why Zhao Changsheng would use her Transmission Talisman to inform the Six Paths Extreme Saint about such an important item.
Wasn't this clearly allowing the Six Paths Extreme Saint to prepare? If he actually found a way to counter it, they would be the ones suffering in the end.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. Telling him is just to make him understand how vast the gap between us is. Once he understands that, I can properly deal with him. Moreover, this time I'm letting him know I have such a trump card so that the Fellow Daoists he gathers will increase in number."
"And in the end, even if I wipe out all these Fellow Daoists, it's their own fault for following the Six Paths Extreme Saint to their deaths. What does it have to do with me? Don't you agree with this logic?"
Zhao Changsheng's words made a chill run down Madam Wen's spine, and she blurted out.
"You're planning to catch them all in one fell swoop?"
"It's not that serious, not that serious. I just want to cleanly eliminate all those who have no goodwill toward me, who feel disgust for me, who harbor hatred for me—basically anyone who finds me an eyesore. That way, in the future, whether I'm overthrowing the Star Palace's rule or taking control of the entire star sea, it will be much easier."
Zhao Changsheng shook his head and then nodded. His words made Madam Wen feel a sense of regret.
"But if you do that, the strength of the Human Race will surely be greatly reduced. What if the Yao Race takes advantage of the opening?"
"Since when did you start caring about the survival of the Human Race in the Inner Star Sea? That's not a problem for you to worry about; it's a problem for the Star Palace, not us. This matter has nothing to do with us. We just need to Cultivate step-by-step, then overthrow the Star Palace's rule and take control of the entire Chaotic Star Sea. As for the Yao Race in the Outer Star Sea, you needn't worry too much. If they don't act, all the better; if they do, I'll wipe them out along with the rest."
"It just so happens that Form Transformation Stage demon cores are priceless treasures anywhere. If I can get eight or ten of them, I'll strike it rich."
Zhao Changsheng's confident yet arrogant words made Madam Wen feel quite uncomfortable, yet she couldn't find any fault in them.
"Go and rest first. Once this matter is settled, there will be people to serve on this island. There's no need to involve others now. When they come of their own accord, I can deal with them all. After waiting so long, it's finally time to pull in the net."
Zhao Changsheng stretched and directly issued an order for Madam Wen to leave and rest.
Madam Wen naturally didn't dare to disobey Zhao Changsheng's command and immediately left the discussion hall.
However, after leaving, she immediately sent a message to the Six Paths Extreme Saint.
And she wasn't at all worried about being detected or discovered by Zhao Changsheng, because this was originally what she and Zhao Changsheng had agreed upon: "Whatever you do, don't come!"
This simple sentence made the Six Paths Extreme Saint's face darken even more, because he hadn't expected Madam Wen to send him such a message; it was a complete look of disdain for him.
Although he knew Madam Wen might be doing it on purpose, or perhaps she truly cared for him, he was certain he couldn't afford not to go.
If he didn't go, who knows how many people would have objections against him.
These weren't even the most critical points; the most important thing was that he needed to figure out exactly what kind of existence Zhao Changsheng was.
Or was he purely using Madam Wen's hand to scare him, making him wary and afraid to act rashly, thereby winning time for development?
If that were the case, he had to seize every moment and find a way to deal with Zhao Changsheng. He absolutely could not leave such a future trouble.
Zhao Changsheng was simply too great a threat, making even him, the number one figure of the demonic path, feel fear.
So he chose to continue gathering helpers. Like Zhao Changsheng, he was calling for allies, whether from the Righteous Path, the Demonic Path, or Loose Cultivators; he gathered as many as possible.
He also spread a rumor that Zhao Changsheng possessed an Opportunity related to the Soul Transformation Stage, because Zhao Changsheng had reached his current level in less than two hundred years, so he must possess a heaven-defying Opportunity.
As long as one could obtain it, breaking through a Bottleneck and extending one's lifespan would be an absolute breeze.
Not long after this rumor appeared, Zhao Changsheng, upon hearing it, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Can't he use some other trick? He just had to use this one. He really has no skill left at all."
"Quite a few guests have already arrived on the island now. Are you sure you won't see them?"
Seeing Zhao Changsheng like this, Madam Wen couldn't help but knit her willow-like brows and ask.
Currently, Madam Wen had completely become the mistress of Longevity Island, responsible for receiving the arriving guests.
Some came to help, some to watch the excitement, and some wanted to see what kind of person Zhao Changsheng was.
Others were there to gather information; in short, these arriving Cultivators all had different motives.
Yet to this day, Zhao Changsheng hadn't seen a single one of them, completely leaving them out in the cold. He wouldn't see anyone, not even those who came to help.
And Madam Wen's behavior basically confirmed the previous rumors—that she had been snatched away by Zhao Changsheng.
This left Madam Wen in a somewhat awkward position, yet she was also somewhat helpless; after all, this kind of thing was really hard for her to explain, and there was no way to explain it.
Because even if she said something, no one would be willing to believe her, and no one would believe it.
Under these circumstances, she could only let the misunderstanding persist.
"Don't worry, there's no need for such concern; we'll just wait and see how things develop. Actually, I also really want to see how many Fellow Daoists that husband of yours will bring. If he brings enough Fellow Daoists, then I'll be at ease. If it's not enough, that would truly be a pity. After all, I've already prepared to catch them all in one fell swoop this time. I hope they don't disappoint me; if they disappoint me too much, that would really be a regrettable thing, don't you agree?"
Zhao Changsheng's relaxed and casual words made Madam Wen unable to resist frowning again and questioning him further.
"It seems my previous thought was correct; you really are planning to catch them all in one fell swoop."
"You could say that. If I don't catch them all in one fell swoop, wouldn't all this preparation be in vain? So I definitely have to catch them all. Moreover, I want to see how shocked the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star will be when they hear this news. Once those two are over their shock, I can start thinking about overthrowing the Star Palace's rule. For so many years, no one has ever succeeded; I want to see if I can successfully accomplish this."
Zhao Changsheng nodded and admitted it with a smile, and this admission made Madam Wen's expression even more complex.
If she hadn't felt an extremely terrifying power from Zhao Changsheng, she might have even thought he was insane.
He had become a complete and utter madman; otherwise, how could he have such crazy ideas as unifying the entire Chaotic Star Sea and wiping out the Six Paths Extreme Saint and the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star?
"Alright, go and receive those guests. They've come all this way, so we must host them properly. However, once they've been received, have them go back to wherever they came from. There's no point in them lingering on this island. If they really want to stay, they must be prepared to be killed, because this immortal extermination pearl doesn't distinguish between friend and foe. Once it detonates, everything around it will be completely destroyed. Even I might not be able to avoid it, though I run fast."
Zhao Changsheng's warning made Madam Wen nod silently, and she directly took her leave.
After Madam Wen left, a playful look finally appeared on Zhao Changsheng's face.
Now, more and more guests were arriving on Longevity Island—some were uninvited, some were purely there for the spectacle, and some were helpers.
For example, Venerable Sanyang of the Qingyang Sect.
For some reason, he had actually chosen to help, though he would likely choose to defect in the end.
None of this was very important to Zhao Changsheng. The most important thing for him was waiting for the Six Paths Extreme Saint to bring his people.
Only then could he completely resolve this trouble and thereby intimidate the entire Chaotic Star Sea, ensuring they wouldn't cause trouble and leaving him with enough time to Cultivate and leisure time.
After that would be overthrowing the Star Palace and taking control of the entire Chaotic Star Sea, but this was not something that could be done in a moment.
For Zhao Changsheng, this task would require a long time.
It couldn't be done in an instant; the Star Palace was no pushover either.
Not long after Madam Wen left, Savage Beard came over.
"Brother Man, you're finally back. How was it? How have things been at Holy Demon Island?"
For the arriving Savage Beard, Zhao Changsheng personally poured tea and began to ask.
"What's the deal with the immortal extermination pearl?"
Savage Beard quite rudely took a sip of tea and asked. He had gotten this news from Madam Wen.
No matter what, the three of them were still on the same side.
"What's the deal? Naturally, it's a method used only when there's no other choice. How should I put it? This thing was created by ancient Cultivators, but not those of the Mortal Realm; rather, they were ancient Cultivators of the Spirit Realm. The purpose was to give Mortals a bit more ability to deal with Cultivators."
At this point, Zhao Changsheng pointed toward the sky and unhurriedly explained to Savage Beard. While Savage Beard was shocked by the explanation, he also felt a sense of worry.
"Can this thing really kill a Deity Transformation Cultivator?"
"A single one naturally can't, but if five or six are used together, it does have that capability. As for a Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, it's even simpler; there's no way they could block it. Once they face it, it's a one-way trip to death. There's simply no way to survive. But this thing doesn't distinguish between friend and foe; once it's used, one must flee at top speed, otherwise, it's easy to be caught in the blast. Therefore, once I use this thing, you must run for your life as fast as possible, or else you'll be turned to ash in a matter of minutes."
Saying this, Zhao Changsheng took out the immortal extermination pearl from his person.
The moment the immortal extermination pearl appeared, a wave of fear surged in his heart and mind, making him realize that what Zhao Changsheng said wasn't false; he truly possessed such a thing.
"How certain are you that this thing can kill the Six Paths Extreme Saint and Third Aunt Wan? Can it kill the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star in the future?"
This was what Savage Beard was most concerned about.
"Rest assured, it definitely has that capability. If it didn't, I wouldn't have taken on this task."
"There are rumors outside that you've obtained the Legacy of a Soul Transformation Cultivator. That's also true, isn't it? Otherwise, how could you have obtained this immortal extermination pearl?"
Savage Beard asked another question he cared about: the rumored Soul Transformation Cultivator Legacy.
This rumor originated from Holy Demon Island, the Star Palace, the Myriad Laws Sect, and various other powers.
