Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard”
Chapter 305: Conquering the Boundary Sea?
"This is called the Five Elements God Realm Sea - cultivating the fire element rules has indeed become much easier!"
Nangong Xianweng exclaimed with admiration.
The very path he had proven was the rule of fire!
The fire element rule was a foundational rule, barely considered mid-tier among rules of the same level, but it was definitely much weaker compared to rules like time, space, chaos, and creation.
Therefore, after learning this was the Five Elements God Realm Sea, he had considered switching to cultivating the five elements rules.
Though the difficulty of doing so was quite substantial.
After investigating the situation of this realm sea, he discovered this realm sea contained six super worlds!
They were respectively the Golden Radiance Realm, Wood Soul Realm, Water Spirit Realm, Fire Flame Realm, Earth Rock Realm, and the Five Elements Realm.
"There are one hundred and seventeen Great Powers at the Hunyuan level openly known, and only one expert at the Tai Chi Realm level!"
"The strength is somewhat weak!"
When he compared the power of this realm sea with the Immortal-Demon Realm Sea, he found it was nothing at all.
Any random faction could come and occupy this entire realm sea!
However, those powerful forces all had their own realm seas to conquer, which was why this particular realm sea was assigned to them.
"Should I directly go to the largest faction to sell?"
Nangong Xianweng felt this approach was too rash.
But if he wanted to quickly offload the spiritual treasures and ultimate treasures in his possession, obviously approaching a super faction would be best.
Yet wouldn't that be supplying resources to the enemy?
Suddenly, Nangong Xianweng had a bold idea: "If I can persuade the largest faction in the Five Elements God Realm Sea to join the Seven Stars Sect, then offloading my ultimate treasures wouldn't be supplying the enemy, but rather strengthening our own sect's power!"
Nangong Xianweng found his sudden idea quite amusing. The strongest faction in this realm sea was called the Five Elements Holy Temple, ruling over six realms and intimidating all heavens - how could they possibly join a suddenly appearing faction? Just based on his smooth talking?
"Trying wouldn't hurt! What if it succeeds!" Nangong Xianweng boldly thought.
Thus, Nangong Xianweng changed direction and headed toward the Five Elements Realm.
After merely ten years, he traversed through the void and arrived at the center of the Five Elements Realm, the main temple of the Five Elements Holy Temple.
The massive holy temple floated amidst clouds and mist, majestic and imposing.
The power of the five elements circulated around it, with colorful clouds creating a dazzling spectacle.
Nangong Xianweng released his aura belonging to a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal and slowly flew toward the Five Elements Holy Temple!
Within the holy temple, a Great Power sensed Nangong Xianweng's aura.
Immediately, a Great Power from the Five Elements Holy Temple arrived at the temple entrance and asked Nangong Xianweng: "Fellow Daoist, you seem unfamiliar. May I ask what important matter brings you to our Five Elements Holy Temple?"
Nangong Xianweng replied with calm expression: "I am an envoy of the Seven Stars Sect, here to discuss an important matter with your temple master!"
The Great Power frowned, Seven Stars Sect? He had never heard of this faction before.
It looked like just an ordinary Hunyuan faction, but the other party was at least a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal.
He still spoke very politely: "My apologies, the temple master is still in seclusion. If you have any matters, you can inform me, and I will convey the message to the temple master. He will learn of your business when he emerges from seclusion!"
Hearing this, Nangong Xianweng said calmly: "I will only wait three days. If your temple master does not see me after three days, I will depart."
Nangong Xianweng stood with hands behind his back in the sky, calmly gazing at the temple's peak, his eyes showing not the slightest reverence for the Five Elements Holy Temple.
The temple elder frowned, still standing at the entrance watching Nangong Xianweng, while secretly sending a message inside the temple to inform the other elders about the situation.
Before long.
Deep within the temple, in a secret realm.
A woman was carving a five-colored stone.
An elder hurriedly arrived at the secret realm entrance.
The woman said softly: "What is it?"
"Reporting to Temple Master, an unfamiliar Hunyuan Great Luo has suddenly visited, claiming to be an envoy of the Seven Stars Sect. He needs to discuss important matters with you face-to-face and says he will leave if not seen within three days. Therefore, I came specially to report - should we meet him?"
The woman's eyes flashed as she saw Nangong Xianweng outside the temple.
Nangong Xianweng appeared quite ordinary, having achieved sainthood through the fire element rule, which was very common in the Five Elements God Realm Sea.
Normally, she wouldn't give such a Hunyuan cultivator a second glance, but Nangong Xianweng's words had sparked some interest in her, so she examined him thoroughly from head to toe.
Finally, she discovered something unusual.
"Oh? Why is the Great Dao's will suppressing him? Although it's only suppressing one percent of his power..."
This was what surprised her most - that was the Great Dao's will! What existence could be worth the Great Dao's will taking personal action? Even Tai Chi Realm experts weren't worthy of eliciting any reaction from the Great Dao's will!
And Nangong Xianweng's aura of having just stepped into Hunyuan Great Luo was very obvious - clearly someone who had broken through not long ago. How could such an existence be worthy of the Great Dao's will's attention?
"Invite him into the Five Elements Hall!" the woman said softly.
"As you command!"
The elder also showed surprise - he had originally just been following procedure, never expecting this person would actually catch the temple master's attention.
The temple master hadn't met outsiders for many years.
Nangong Xianweng waited for a while.
Then he saw the temple elder suddenly break into a smile: "Honored guest, please! The temple master has just emerged from seclusion and happened to hear about your matter. She invites you to meet in the Five Elements Hall!"
Nangong Xianweng felt nervous inside, but still nodded: "Lead the way!"
Before long.
Nangong Xianweng was brought to a great hall.
Here, the power of the five elements was extremely dense, making comprehension of the five elements rules several times easier - truly a precious land!
In the center of the hall, a woman with a slender figure was looking at him with great interest, asking: "I am the temple master. What matter brings you to me?"
Nangong Xianweng looked at her, confirmed she was indeed Temple Master Xiao, then said calmly: "On behalf of the Seven Stars Sect, I invite the Five Elements Holy Temple to join the Seven Stars Sect and become an affiliated sect of the Seven Stars Sect!"
As these words fell.
The entire hall fell silent.
The elder who had just escorted Nangong Xianweng in immediately glared angrily, mobilizing his internal magic power, a weapon already appearing in his hand, ready to activate!
"How dare you!" the temple elder roared angrily.
The woman instead showed even more interest, waving her hand toward the elder: "You may withdraw!"
"Temple Master, he..."
"Withdraw!"
"Yes!"
The temple elder withdrew unwillingly, looking at Nangong Xianweng as if he wanted to devour him.
The Five Elements Hall quickly quieted down.
"Do you know what realm I am in?" the woman smiled.
"Merely early Tai Chi stage!" Nangong Xianweng said calmly.
The woman nodded: "Do you know the difference between the Tai Chi Realm and the Saint Realm?"
In this world, Hunyuan Great Luo was also called Saints.
"The difference between clouds and mud!" Nangong Xianweng affirmed.
"Oh? What is the strength of this Seven Stars Sect you speak of?" the woman asked curiously.
Nangong Xianweng thought for a moment, then said: "I cannot reveal the specific strength, but there are at least several dozen people stronger than you! And one who has surpassed Tai Chi!"
He looked calmly at the temple master, his tone without the slightest hesitation.
