I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives-Chapter 372 - 301: Master of Grotto Heaven

"The transformation into Divinity is complete. Next is the Four Seas Bead!"

Chen Sheng’s eyes flickered with a flash of golden light. In the instant his fingers formed a seal, a fist-sized stone bead, covered in a thick gray haze, materialized half a foot in front of him.

The surface of the stone bead bore faint, web-like patterns, yet a stone shell firmly enveloped it, making it difficult for any Spiritual Qi to escape. It appeared unremarkable.

"Go!"

With a thought, a faint golden shadow of Chen Sheng’s Primordial Spirit at his brow consolidated into substance, transforming into a streak of flowing light that entered the stone bead.

Upon contact, thousands of sharp restrictive forces pierced like blades, causing a slight numbness in his Primordial Spirit. But unlike his past life during the Nascent Soul stage, his Divine Sense now did not vanish like a mud ox into the sea.

At this moment, although the restriction felt as profound as the vast starry sky, he could clearly discern some of the mysteries of its multiple layers, as if the fog-covered mountains finally revealed their contours, no longer a mass of chaos.

"Indeed, upon reaching this Realm, many previous barriers are resolved effortlessly."

As Chen Sheng pondered, his hands formed intricate sacrificial refining seals. The power of Heaven and Earth surged forth, transforming into ribbons of light that entwined around the Four Seas Bead.

...

Three months flashed by. Chen Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, swiftly changing his hand seals, and shouted:

"Break!"

The stone bead wrapped in gray haze trembled violently, the outermost layer of restrictive patterns shattered like glass, disintegrating into specks of gray light and dissipating.

In an instant, a clear blue light shot skyward.

The once gray stone bead transformed into a deep blue color, its surface shimmering with wave-like luster, within which seemed to weave countless silver threads, spinning briskly in the air.

"Buzz"

Accompanied by a soft hum, a beam of pale blue Spirit Light, about a foot thick, shot from the bead and enveloped Chen Sheng. It was unmistakably the connecting Spirit Light of the Grotto Heaven.

This time, Chen Sheng did not resist, merely and slowly withdrew the hand seal.

The moment the Spirit Light touched his body, he felt light as if merging into water flow, his figure turning into points of blue light, silently vanishing.

Only the azure Four Seas Bead spun thrice in the air, its blue light flashing, then it vanished into the void.

...

In the Four Seas Profound Mansion, within the ancient palace supported by a thousand columns, blue light converged, and Chen Sheng’s figure solidified once more.

Beneath him was a Lapis Lazuli floor engraved with the Four Seas Tide Pattern, the air filled with the lingering scent of ancient sandalwood. The distant jade curtains adorned with Godyris Treasure Curtains swayed gently in the breeze, creating a sound of fine gold and jade mingling.

Unlike the vast and blurred scene of a past life, now his Primordial Spirit could see the restrictive power contained within the dragon patterns coiling up the pillars. Each pattern subtly resonated with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Standing with hands behind his back, Chen Sheng spoke softly in his heart:

"In the Divinity Transformation Realm, I’m finally qualified to touch the core."

The inheritance restrictions on the lower two levels of the Profound Mansion were refined by Chen Sheng at the fastest speed. Two streams of light dashed into his brow—these were the complete "Four Seas Void Transformation Atlas" and "Four Seas Pill Book."

Soon, he reached the third level. Here was no complex palace decor, only a black jade stele about a square yard stood at the center.

The stele was covered with runes distorted like tides, each rune seemed to contain a stretch of the Four Seas territory, emanating a heavy aura suppressing the universe.

"This is the core restriction of the Four Seas Profound Mansion!"

With a thought, Chen Sheng could clearly feel the intimate connection between the jade stele and the entire Four Seas Grotto Heaven, akin to the relationship between heart and body.

Without hesitation, he sat cross-legged on the cushion before the stele.

His hands formed a Dharma Seal mastering heaven and earth, his Primordial Spirit at the brow expanded a full yard, transforming into a golden torrent that plunged fiercely into the jade stele.

...

Time passed slowly, three years flickering by.

On this day, the previously serene Four Seas Archipelago suddenly surged with stormy waves.

In the East Sea, colossal waves a thousand feet high swept forward like white city walls, crashing onto rocks with a deafening roar.

In the depths of the South Sea, a volcano dormant for millennia erupted suddenly, pouring crimson lava like a waterfall into the sea, creating a sky full of steam.

In the West Sea, the earth veins violently shook, and islands rose and fell on the sea surface like duckweed, while the coral reefs under the sea shattered and collapsed in an instant.

Above the North Sea, the originally ice-bound sea surface cracked open with a gap a thousand feet wide, where cold air and hot air intertwined in the sky, forming bizarre icy mists.

"Boom——"

In the Glazed Palace under the sea, the Tier Three Flame Shark Demon King, entirely crimson, suddenly stood up from its throne, feeling the terrifying pressure coming from above, with the muscles under its scales trembling violently.

The few Golden Core Demon Kings by its side turned pale as well; one Cyan Crab Demon King shakily extended its pincers, attempting to cast a defense skill, only to find its inner spiritual power suppressed to the point of being unable to operate.

"What... what is this power?!"

The cultivators of the Four Seas Archipelago were thrown into panic.

On the mountain gate plaza of the East Island Transformation Dragon Sect, countless disciples looked up at the sky, watching the inky clouds rolling above, their faces filled with fear.

The Supreme Elder Celestial Master Derivation, at late-stage Golden Core, leaned on a staff on the top of the sect hall, his grizzled beard violently shaking, his eyes full of despair:

"The world changes color, the spirit veins are in turmoil, could it be the day of world destruction has arrived? Is our Transformation Dragon Sect’s millennia-old foundation about to be destroyed in an instant?"

Amidst the fear of all living beings, a voice as majestic as the chanting of heaven and earth resounded directly in the heart of every creature, without the slightest trace of fireworks, yet carrying indisputable authority:

"I am the Celestial Venerable of Life Destruction, today refining the core of the Four Seas, becoming the Master of Cave Heaven. From today onwards, the spirit veins of the Four Seas will revive, and the Four Seas Secret Realm will reopen." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

At the moment the words fell, the terrifying pressure between heaven and earth suddenly dissipated.

Immediately after, everyone was shocked to discover that the spiritual energy in the air was becoming denser at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The originally thin spiritual energy turned into strands of white mist, inhaled into the body, bringing an all-encompassing comfort, even healing the hidden injuries left in cultivation slowly.

The cultivators who had been stuck at Foundation Establishment Perfection for years clearly felt the bottleneck loosening, their eyes bursting with unbelievable joy.

Then, strands of pale blue spirit light fell from the sky like a meteor shower, accurately enveloping all the Golden Core cultivators and Tier Three Demon Kings within the Four Seas.

The spirit light seemed gentle, yet carried an irresistible power. Those enveloped didn’t even have time to voice a cry of surprise before their figures vanished from where they stood.

The next second, everyone suddenly felt as if the scene before them had changed, finding themselves in a towering and magnificent palace, with countless luminous beads embedded in the dome, shining like stars.

A jade-faced Daoist sat cross-legged in the center of the palace, his figure seemingly melding with the entire heaven and earth. Looking up, he appeared like the whole starry sky, inspiring involuntary reverence.

It was Chen Sheng, who had refined the core restriction.

At this moment, his Primordial Spirit was completely connected with the Four Seas Grotto Heaven, able to mobilize most of the world’s power in the cave heaven with just a thought. Surrounded by the authority of heaven and earth, even sitting still, he resembled a celestial venerable holding dominion over the universe.

The Golden Core cultivators from the Human and Demon Races were all spiritually shaken, instantly understanding the identity of the person before them, respectfully kneeling to the ground, their voices filled with an unmistakable sense of awe:

"Greetings to the Celestial Venerable of Life Destruction!"

Chen Sheng nodded slightly, his voice calm yet carrying a power that penetrated the heart:

"From today onwards, you shall serve under me. The Human Race cultivators will be led by Celestial Master Derivation, while the Demon Race Demon Kings will be led by the Flame Shark King, jointly overseeing the affairs of the Human and Demon Races of the Four Seas, bringing comfort to all beings, and restoring the order of the cultivation realm."

Celestial Master Derivation and the Flame Shark King felt a burst of joy in their hearts, quickly leading the bowing:

"We obey the command!"

The other Golden Core cultivators and Demon Kings also hurried to perform the ceremony, their eyes full of excitement — following a celestial venerable with vast divine techniques not only guaranteed a secure path of cultivation but also promised unimaginable opportunities.

Chen Sheng lightly swung his sleeve, and the next moment, everyone only felt the light and shadow before their eyes shift, and they had already returned to their respective grotto mansions or mountain gates.

Meanwhile, a scroll of exquisite cultivation techniques appeared out of thin air in everyone’s mind, precisely the few Nascent Soul stage cultivation techniques recorded in the "Four Seas Void Transformation Atlas."

Though not as wonderfully profound as the complete Void Refining inheritance, it still opened a corner of the Nascent Soul Realm for them.

Further detailed were each individual’s responsibilities afterward: clearing the Four Seas Secret Realm, registering the cultivator roster...

"The Celestial Venerable is merciful!"

Everyone felt great joy in their hearts, repeatedly cupping their hands respectfully in the direction of the Four Seas Profound Mansion.

Then, they did not dare to delay, immediately gathering their sect disciples and clan juniors, conveying the Celestial Venerable’s decree, and arranging various affairs.

The Human Race cultivators cleared the mountain gates, while the Demon Race reorganized their tribes. A slew of directives like flowing water spread throughout the Four Seas Archipelago.

The originally scattered and chaotic Four Seas cultivation realm was consolidated at an incredible speed, forming a vast force centered on the Celestial Venerable of Life Destruction, uniting the Human and Demon Races without a sound.
