150: Chapter 150 Taking Over the Void Heaven Palace!
Chapter 15: Occupying the Void Heaven Palace!
"It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?"
Zhao Changsheng looked at the white-glowing brocade handkerchief in his hand, his brows furrowed. This handkerchief was none other than a remnant map of the Void Heaven Palace.
At this moment, the previously blurry map had vanished, replaced by a pattern of a small golden light sword. No matter how this item was turned, the direction it pointed remained the same, without any change, clearly indicating the location of the Void Heaven Palace.
"This guy's luck is really good."
Looking at the remnant map of the Void Heaven in his hand, Zhao Changsheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion, then immediately flew towards his destination.
This was an incredibly magnificent palace, so magnificent that it was beyond words. If one had to describe it, its height alone reached a hundred zhang, and its entirety was cast from white jade. One could imagine what a grand undertaking this was.
Most importantly, a layer of golden light enveloped the entire palace.
At the same time, Cultivators arrived one after another at this palace and entered it directly.
"Quite a lot of people have come, but soon all of you will have to get out. If you don't, there will only be death."
Suddenly, a streak of light appeared opposite the palace. Looking at the Void Heaven Palace before him, he chuckled softly. For him, he didn't want to be disturbed, so everyone who had entered this palace now had to get out. This was his bottom line.
Then, Zhao Changsheng entered the palace directly and arrived in a huge hall. The entire hall was vast, even larger than the palace outside, spanning hundreds of zhang. Even if tens of thousands of people entered, it probably wouldn't feel crowded.
Most importantly, in this hall, there were dozens of huge pillars, each carved from jade and intricately depicting various rare and exotic beasts. However, Zhao Changsheng had no interest in them; his gaze had already swept over everyone.
At the same time, the gazes of the Cultivators present all fell upon him, but no one dared to meet his eyes. Each of them was trembling in fear.
"It seems all of you Fellow Daoists already know who I am. Since you know, I won't introduce myself again. Now you have two choices. The first choice is to scram quickly, go back to where you came from. This time, I'm taking over everything. I don't wish to be disturbed by anyone. If anyone disturbs me, there will only be death. I hope you understand this. The second is to stay and be directly annihilated by me. Although one cannot act here, if one enters inside, one can. You should be very clear about this. Originally, if Star Palace were still here, bullying the weak would not be allowed, but here, there is no such rule, because now, I am the rule."
"You all must understand this principle, because now I am the master of this Star Sea. So you now have these two choices: to stay or to die, you choose for yourselves. Of course, you also have a third choice, which is if you are lucky, you might have a chance to live, but if you are unlucky, there will only be death. I think you all understand this, and there's no need for me to say more."
As soon as Zhao Changsheng finished speaking, the Cultivators who had been sitting all stood up in unison and rushed towards the entrance, vying with each other, without any hesitation or lingering.
After all, they didn't want to die, because they knew very well that Zhao Changsheng was definitely not joking. Since he wasn't joking, they had to leave quickly, otherwise, they would surely die.
In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, there was hardly anyone left in the entire hall, but one figure remained: a person dressed in a black robe whose Face could not be seen.
"I can't believe you, little girl, still dare to stay. Don't you fear death? You should know how miserable your end will be if you continue to stay here. I don't need to say more, do I?"
Facing Zhao Changsheng's inquiry and his direct revelation of her gender, the black-robed person did not answer, but silently remained in place, clearly prepared for death.
"Speak, why do you insist on staying?"
Facing Zhao Changsheng's question, the black-robed person finally spoke this time, and her voice was quite pleasant.
"I want to save my Senior Sister. She was harmed by Demonic Path Cultivators while saving me, and only her Primordial Spirit remains. The only way to save her is to obtain the soul nurturing wood from this Void Heaven Palace and then perform the Revival Technique. If Senior wishes to kill me, please do so. My Senior Sister died to save me, and I will die to save her. We will have lived up to our feelings for each other."
The black-robed person's words made Zhao Changsheng laugh, then he said, "So that's how it is, no wonder. But you don't need to do this. Tell me the location of the soul nurturing wood, and I will help you find it and give it to you after we leave. You take this token and go out first. After you leave, go to Holy Mountain and find my subordinates; they will take good care of you. If you continue to stay here, I'm not sure if I'll kill you, because I won't go back on my word from earlier. After all, I need to save some Face for myself." Zhao Changsheng hadn't expected the plot to still unfold this way even after he had changed it so much, but since it was so, he didn't mind lending a hand.
Taking the token Zhao Changsheng threw over, the black-robed person showed no hesitation. She respectfully bowed to Zhao Changsheng, then told him the exact location of the soul nurturing wood before directly leaving.
She still believed what Zhao Changsheng said. After all, with Zhao Changsheng's current status, he wouldn't deceive a little girl like her.
Moreover, the black-robed person now had no choice but to leave; otherwise, there would only be death.
And the black-robed person clearly still didn't want to die. Since she didn't want to die, she had no other option.
"I can't believe the original plot still happened. I thought there would be some changes, but it turns out there were none. Since that's the case, I'll help this little girl. I hope her Senior Sister can be saved, and the original events won't repeat."
After a sigh, Zhao Changsheng found a spot and sat down. After others left, they spread the word everywhere that the entire Void Heaven Palace had been occupied by Zhao Changsheng, and others should not enter.
Although many people were indignant about Zhao Changsheng's actions, no one could do anything, because no one could defeat Zhao Changsheng. The entire Star Palace had been destroyed by Zhao Changsheng, so who could defeat him? Moreover, everyone knew that Zhao Changsheng was about to establish the Star Sea Empire, so even if he occupied it, no one dared to say a word of nonsense.
After all, in the future, the entire Chaotic Star Sea would belong to Zhao Changsheng. Who could say anything? Who was Zhao Changsheng's opponent? No one was, and no one could do anything.
Under these circumstances, continuing to be an enemy of Zhao Changsheng was purely an act of seeking death, so they dared not.
However, many people still harbored resentment towards Zhao Changsheng, but even the greatest resentment was useless, because Zhao Changsheng simply didn't care about it.
Zhao Changsheng stayed alone in the grand hall for several days, until the appearance of a Teleportation Array brought a smile to his Face. He could now begin the trials. Originally, many people would have accompanied him, but now, there was no need.
After all, he had already driven those people out. Through the Teleportation Array, Zhao Changsheng arrived on a desolate hillside. He looked around and found no one, as they had all been driven away.
Zhao Changsheng did not feel that he had done anything wrong with his actions. Instead, his gaze fell on a patch of hazy gray mist a dozen zhang away. This was the checkpoint.
This was the first trial of the Outer Hall: The Land of Ghostly Grievances.
Seeing this, Zhao Changsheng said nothing more and walked directly towards the hazy gray mist.
Zhao Changsheng was well aware of the dangers and troubles he was about to encounter, and he didn't care if anyone or any creature would cause him harm.
He was an invincible existence and simply didn't care about these things.
And as he approached, the hazy gray mist seemed to come alive, rushing towards him, but for Zhao Changsheng, it was still useless. As soon as it got close, it directly turned into nothingness.
One must know that if it were other Cultivators, once touched by these gray mists, their bodies would be drained of vital blood and turn into withered bones. One can imagine how terrifying it was.
Just like that, Zhao Changsheng walked slowly and unhurriedly as if passing through an uninhabited land, completely ignoring everything around him. No matter how terrifying the color of the ghostly mist became, it posed no threat to him.
It could only be said that there was not even the slightest threat, and these mists also changed from the previous grayish-white to black.
Along the way, Zhao Changsheng also encountered many corpses, but he paid no attention to them. At most, he would give them a burial place, considering it a good deed.
Soon, Zhao Changsheng encountered his first trouble: the sound of a woman-like weeping in his ears. This sound was intermittent and incredibly distressing, but it had no effect on Zhao Changsheng, who directly annihilated it.
However, the source of this sound also appeared before Zhao Changsheng's eyes: a ghost shadow. This ghost shadow was extremely formidable, and its aura was quite powerful, but for Zhao Changsheng, it still posed no threat and was directly reduced to ashes.
To be precise, it should be nothingness. For Zhao Changsheng, everything before him could not cause any harm, and he didn't need to care.
"I can't believe this guy actually occupied the entire Void Heaven Palace. Could it be that he can really obtain the void heaven cauldron?"
At the same time, outside the main hall, two Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators said with extremely gloomy expressions.
"Even if he really occupies it, what can you do? What can you do? Can you defeat him? None of us can defeat him; no one can defeat him."
"Is he really that powerful?"
"The entire Star Palace was completely wiped out by him. Do you think he's powerful? Do you think he's strong? We have no other choice but to leave."
"Leave? Is there no other way?"
"Another way? Can you defeat him? Or do you have the strength to contend with him?
If you do, you can compete with him after he comes out."
The one who spoke was a relatively younger middle-aged Cultivator, and he was also a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator from the Chaotic Star Sea.
"Alright, we must now report this matter to the Sect and let the other Senior Brothers of the Sect decide, but the Sect probably won't say much. However, the Sect's Senior Brothers have no fear of the Star Sea Empire he is about to establish; instead, they are thinking of uniting with other Sects to resist him."
"This is completely impossible. Even Star Palace, Holy Demon Island, and Myriad Laws Sect were completely wiped out by him, let alone us. If we don't want to join the Star Sea Empire he established, the only way is to go to the Outer Star Sea and hide for a while. Although the Star Sea Empire will also be established in the Outer Star Sea, the Yao Race will not agree. If the Yao Race had agreed, this Star Sea Empire would probably have been established long ago, so why wait until now? So there's no need to worry too much."
"The trouble he has to Face is the entire Yao Race, which cannot be compared to a single Star Palace. Star Palace was able to resist the Yao Race back then by relying on the strength of the entire Human Race in the Chaotic Star Sea, not just by itself. But now, the entire Yao Race will absolutely not allow this Star Sea Empire to be established. Those forces that join the Star Sea Empire will probably not have a good end. We just need to stand by and watch the show. How could the Yao Race agree to such a thing?"
"You're right, we just need to stand by and watch the show. Do you think he can get the void heaven cauldron? If he really does, his strength will definitely greatly increase. What if the Yao Race can't even contend with him then?"
The middle-aged Nascent Soul Cultivator expressed his biggest concern: whether the void heaven cauldron would be obtained by Zhao Changsheng.
"How is that possible? That's absolutely impossible. If it were so easy to obtain, then someone would have obtained it long ago; why would it wait until now?

Another older Nascent Soul Cultivator shook his head, completely disbelieving, or perhaps he was deceiving himself, because he knew the consequences of obtaining it.
"Perhaps that's because there hasn't been such a powerful figure in the Star Sea before. If there had been, it would have been obtained long ago. What we need to do now is wait and see. If he really obtains it, then perhaps we can persuade the Sect to agree to join his Star Sea Empire."
"Because by then, he will be an almost invincible existence."
