Cultivation Starts from Farming

Chapter 1117: Chapter 469: Nine Nether Elder Joins Forces with the Dual Saints

"This power... isn’t it a bit too formidable!" Xu Ping’s eyes shone brightly.

"With the cunning and sharpness of this technique, cultivators below the Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation, without special soul-protecting supreme treasures or secret techniques, will definitely be unable to withstand it. Their Divine Soul would be instantly severely damaged, even to the point of soul annihilation!" Xu Ping quickly made an accurate assessment in his heart.

His thoughts then turned to the envisioned opponent.

"And those Star Palace Saints... Even if they use secret techniques to combine their spiritual senses, causing a qualitative change, they still cannot withstand ’God Slaying Needle’ fully unleashed by my Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation Divine Sense as it is now!"

Unless... they possess a top-tier catastrophe treasure known for defending against Spiritual Sense Attacks, they might barely manage to resist. But

how rare are such treasures?

Even rarer than offensive supreme treasures!

Perhaps none exist in the mortal realm.

"Once the ’God Slaying Needle’ severely wounds the Dual Saints’ Divine Soul, their renowned combined force would inevitably collapse, and their power would greatly diminish."

"At that time, it would be much easier for me to move in and slay the two of them."

There was a hint of icy anticipation in Xu Ping’s eyes.

He slowly retracted the unleashed Divine Sense back into the Sea of Consciousness, like a divine weapon sheathed, showing no sharpness.

Frankly speaking, with his current overall strength, he already has a great chance to directly kill the Dual Saints.

But Xu Ping’s character has always been to plan thoroughly before acting, striving for Perfection.

To be certain, Xu Ping still decided to wait until his Sword Intent reaches Perfection before proceeding.

Achieving Perfection in Sword Intent means that his regular attack methods will reach a new level, perfectly complementing the Spiritual Sense Attack.

Only then can the success rate be maximized, preventing any unforeseen accidents.

He seeks absolute control, not a risky gamble.

Xu Ping’s mind slightly moved, and the proficiency panel emerged. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

His gaze directly fell on the Sword Dao section:

[Sword Intent Achievement (One Turn) Mastery: 1025 / 1600]

....

"Just five hundred and thirty-five points of proficiency left to reach Perfection."

Xu Ping silently calculated, "With my current comprehension speed and the time invested, within no more than twenty years, I will surely succeed!"

The myriad Sword Intent converges into one, refined to the utmost, transforming into the strongest strike of a hundred swords united, its erupting power...

"It might... surpass ordinary Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation means!"

At this thought, even with Xu Ping’s temperament, he couldn’t help but feel slightly stirred.

By then, his conventional combat power will be truly stabilized at the Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation level.

Dispelling the panel, Xu Ping’s state of mind returned to its usual tranquility.

He closed his eyes again, immersing himself once more in closed-door training.

...

.....

Ten years later.

Wind Origin Realm, Star Palace core.

This is a grand palace floating amidst an endless sea of stars, entirely forged from the core of the stars, flowing with eternal, undying starlight.

Deep within the palace, inside the Ten Thousand Stars Hall, the atmosphere was solemn and heavy.

Two figures sat high on the throne carved from a whole block of "Stardrop Gold."

On the left, wearing a starry imperial robe, the face was handsome yet carried an unquestionable majesty, eyes like cold stars—he was the Star King.

On the right, draped in moonlight gauze, with a face of unrivaled beauty and coolness, as if concentrated with all the moonlight in the world, she was the Moon God.

Their auras melded into one, vast like a sea of stars, their pressure enough to suffocate ordinary Divinity Transformation cultivators.

At this moment, their gazes containing the might of stellar birth and destruction, coldly focused on that emaciated, hunched figure in the center of the hall, resembling a ghastly shadow.

Upon closer inspection, it was the Nine Nether Elder.

"Nine Nether Elder...."

The Star King spoke, his voice like the friction of ten-thousand-year-old ice, carrying a fierce killing intent, echoing in the hall, "Your courage is truly not small."

"Time and again, you’ve thwarted the Star Palace’s plans, and now you dare to venture alone into the Star Palace core, are you not afraid that I will take action and completely eradicate your ghostly soul?"

The vast star power, like something tangible, pressed towards the Nine Nether Elder in the hall.

However, there wasn’t a hint of fear on Nine Nether Elder’s dry face, but rather, emitted a hoarse eerie laugh: "Hehe... Why is the Star King so angry?"

"It’s merely an avatar condensed at some cost of my essence, destroying it is nothing, it won’t affect the main body."

He paused, the ghostfire in his sunken eye sockets flickering, looking at the two on the throne: "This time, I have not come to provoke, but to discuss a deal with you two...."

"A deal?"

The Moon God’s cold voice sounded, like an ice bead on a jade plate, carrying unrestrained mockery, "You have repeatedly disrupted our plans, blocking our path to becoming Dao, this hatred is irreconcilable."

"And now, you still have the face to talk about a deal?"

The Star King also gave a cold snort, the starlight around him growing more dazzling, showing signs of unleashing thunderous action at any moment.

Facing the killing intent and doubt of the Dual Saints, the Nine Nether Elder remained composed, his tone calm yet with a peculiar hypnotic allure: "Times have changed."

"Before, our paths were different, naturally making us foes, scheming against each other, each relying on their means."

"But now... I see a new possibility, hence the desire for collaboration."

Upon hearing this, the Dual Saints did not immediately refute, merely kept silent.

Yet, the terrifying aura shrouding the hall became even more substantial and dense, clearly evaluating the truth and intent behind his words.

The Nine Nether Elder knew the timing was right, and stopped keeping it a secret, saying thunderously: "What I’m proposing is... to assist you two in ascending to the Upper Realm!"

"Ascend to the Upper Realm?"

Boom!

Like thunder from a clear sky!

The Star King and Moon God, who had been sitting firmly on their throne with majestic auras, at the moment these four words were spoken, even their bodies trembled almost imperceptibly.
