Chapter 729: Chapter 434: Wrapping Up and Getting Going!_3

The large golden ball-shaped head suddenly shimmered like water, instantly absorbing the Innate Gold Essence into its body.

Hum!

A buzzing sound emanated from the ancient Alchemy Furnace not far away as clumps of elixir energy rose up, forming pristine Elixir Clouds with a fragrance that assaulted the senses.

Zhao Sheng’s eyes shimmered with light, his thoughts flickering. He saw the lid of the furnace suddenly rise into the air, followed by seven or eight stalks of thousand-year-old Spiritual Medicine floating up from in front of him, swiftly falling into the Alchemy Furnace, with the lid automatically returning to its place afterward.

At this time, eight distinctively-styled Alchemy Furnaces abruptly surrounded Zhao Sheng, all simultaneously refining over eight kinds of precious third-tier Spirit Pills.

Below Zhao Sheng, the Golden Crow True Fire transformed into a golden fireball the size of a water tank, fervently Refining a black metal sphere the size of a fist.

As the Divine Thought roared like a tide, countless Prohibition Runes were Refining into the interior of the metal sphere, and one Treasure Restriction after another began to take shape gradually.

Another half-year passed.

On this day, Zhao Sheng floated above the Earth Core Fire Sea, his face emotionless as he watched two massive metal cubes slowly sink into the sea of fire below.

Before this, all the test subjects in the testing ground had been destroyed in advance.

Now, as the testing ground sank into the Earth’s Core, all traces of what had been would soon vanish without a trace.

After a moment, Dao Zhan hurried into the Black King Cave, catching sight of his lord standing with his back to him, quietly gazing at the colossal Black King.

Dao Zhan’s heart tightened, and he flew to the Magic Platform, kneeling on one knee: “Subordinate Dao Zhan pays respects to the lord, may the lord live forever without end!”

“Rise! Have you completed the tasks I assigned?” Zhao Sheng didn’t turn around, asking in a calm tone.

Dao Zhan stood up, respectfully replied, “Reporting to the lord, everyone in the sect has already begun to actively retract our power scope and has also ceased provoking and clashing with the surrounding forces. The sect’s Great Array is being laid out in an orderly fashion according to the Array Map issued by you, my lord, and it will be completed with Great Merit within three months!”

“Very good, and the items I requested?”

After speaking, Zhao Sheng slowly turned around, his gaze toward Dao Zhan as unfathomable as the Abyss.

Dao Zhan shuddered, hurriedly taking out two glimmering blue Space Storage Stones and lifted them above his head, saying with respect, “Lord, the items are prepared, please accept them.”

Zhao Sheng extended his hand and drew the Space Storage Seal towards him, probing with his Divine Thought and couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction with a smile.

After putting away the Space Storage Seal, he flicked his finger and shot a Talisman Pearl towards Dao Zhan, simultaneously saying, “This Nascent Soul Talisman I have refined carries a full-strength strike from myself. Anyone below the Nascent Soul Middle Stage who is struck by it will die instantly! You should keep it safe and not waste this treasure unless you face a life and death situation.”

Dao Zhan was overjoyed and immediately bowed deeply, saying with a trembling voice, “Your subordinate will heed your teachings, my lord, and will not dare to squander your efforts!”

“Hmm, starting today, I shall enter seclusion for a hundred years. Unless facing a calamity that threatens the extinction of our sect, you must not disturb my cultivation. Otherwise, you will be held accountable. Now you may leave!”

“Subordinate wishes the lord Divine Skill reaches Great Success and comes out from seclusion soon! I will take my leave now.” Dao Zhan paid a deep respect and then began to retreat, flying out of the Black King Cave.

As soon as he left, a colorful light screen flashed at the entrance of the Black King Cave, with the entire cave starting to subtly quake.

An immense surge of earth energy rapidly rose up, inundating the Black King Cave, and soon after, a Third-Order Earth Vajra Formation slowly unfurled. Layers of bright yellow Vajra Rock firmly sealed the cave.

Half a day later, Zhao Sheng quietly left the Black King Cave, transforming into a beam of light, silently flying towards the edge of the Cloud Sky heavens.
