Chapter 1074: Chapter 10: The Schemes of the City God Temple
The appearance of the Yellow Plum astonished all the cultivators.
Even Yuanhua and Long Yue, who saw no effect from consuming it, were no exception.
Increasing the chance of breaking through to the Saint Emperor by thirty percent, it is regarded as the topmost secret treasure in the starry sky.
After all, even counting the former devouring sect cultivators, in the vast starry sky, there are no more than two hundred Saint Emperors.
A crucial reason for this is the immense difficulty of breaking through, leaving countless saints as corpses on the path to becoming a Saint Emperor, turning to dust and leaving nothing behind.
Excluding the one who broke through in the war of the conquest and devouring sects, the Old Land Starry Sky hasn’t seen a Saint Emperor appear in over two million years.
The difficulty of breaking through is imaginable.
Breaking through carries considerable danger, and not breaking through may lead to death.
Most of these saints who failed had prepared for a long time but ultimately were just a little lacking.
One can imagine, if there were such an immortal fruit as the Yellow Plum, the Old Land Starry Sky’s conquest sect Saint Emperors might double.
What’s more, the Yellow Plum has an effect even on breaking through to the pinnacle Saint Emperor.
In an instant, the Saint Emperors present felt as if they had obtained a priceless treasure.
They couldn’t take their eyes off the two smooth Yellow Plums on the jade plate.
After all, only Yuanhua and Long Yue were pinnacle Saint Emperors present, only they had the qualification to treat the Yellow Plum as a snack.
For other Saint Emperors, even a slight increase in the probability of breaking through to the pinnacle Saint Emperor was a most precious treasure.
Initially, he thought about going back to digest the results of the True Saint’s sermon carefully, to see if there was a sliver of opportunity.
Now, with the Yellow Plum added to the sermon…
Some Saint Emperors could not suppress their excited hearts.
They felt that perhaps now was a great opportunity to break through—taking advantage while the sermon had not long passed.
But would this really not disturb the True Saint’s interest?
However, matters of breaking through, especially to a high realm, when the feeling comes, it’s more appropriate than any other time.
So, the Treasure Vase Saint Emperor, who initially said he would serve Wang Sheng, directly spoke up, respectfully saying: “True Saint, may I ask to borrow your Daoist school to break through?”
Wang Sheng gave him a glance.
Time flowed within his eyes.
Finally, he slowly spoke: “You may.”
The Treasure Vase Saint Emperor indeed had a chance to break through, and he was happy to help fulfill this.
Receiving the response, the Treasure Vase Saint Emperor wasted no time.
He directly swallowed both Yellow Plums whole.
At the moment he swallowed the Yellow Plums, the Treasure Vase Saint Emperor only felt a mysterious power flowing within his body, permeating his body and mind.
The energy was drawn into a miraculous state, as if the Great Dao was just before their eyes.
The Treasure Vase Saint Emperor immediately understood that this was the breakthrough opportunity brought by the Yellow Plum, and what followed would depend on his own foundation.
If the foundation was strong enough, he could successfully pass this hurdle and become a pinnacle Saint Emperor.
If not, he would die within this endless consumption.
His body and mind were in a mysterious realm, while those outside noticed a profound aura emanating from him.
The aura fluctuated wildly, extremely unstable.
Simultaneously fluctuating was his strength.
Watching the gathering energy, everyone knew that the Treasure Vase Saint Emperor was undergoing a breakthrough.
Once he broke through, the Treasure Vase Saint Emperor’s lifespan, already nearing its limit, would gain a new lease on life, extending by several million years.
Now that the path to the Thirteen Realms was clear, future pursuits were not out of the question.
However, observing the Treasure Vase Saint Emperor’s extremely unstable strength, the other Saint Emperors, initially tempted, calmed down.
Even with so much preparation, the risk was still enormous.
Anyone with a slightly sufficient lifespan would not take the risk, and those with similar lifespans had already lost the opportunity, with the first chance snatched by the Treasure Vase, opportunity fleeting in an instant.
For a moment, the Saint Emperors quieted down.
They, too, were eager to see whether the Treasure Vase Saint Emperor would succeed.
It should be known, before this, any attempt by the Treasure Vase Saint Emperor to break through could be considered a guaranteed failure.
If he succeeded, it would prove the worth of the Yellow Plum.
For a moment, the Saint Emperor’s banquet fell silent.
Just then, Wang Sheng also spoke timely, looking at all the cultivators, he said in a light voice: “Those below the saints who still wish to break through may do so, yet those who don’t wish to break through may act freely and converse with each other while waiting for the event to conclude.”
All the cultivators were somewhat surprised.
Had he simply dismissed everyone, it would be easy to explain, but Wang Sheng specifically mentioned below the saints.
The thoughts of the Saint Emperors surged, plunging them into contemplation.
The saints and other cultivators responded loudly: “We heed the True Saint’s command.”
Wang Sheng nodded, not saying much more, then waved his hand, instantly isolating the Saint Emperor’s banquet from the other cultivators,
Of course, also isolating the Treasure Vase Saint Emperor.
Sending him to a more suitable place for breakthrough.
After completing all this, he looked at the confused Saint Emperors.
“Gentlemen, the banquet is about to conclude, and now is also a good time to discuss serious matters.”
The matters of cultivators, after all, are decided by the strong.
A total of seventy-eight Saint Emperors were present, including Yuanhua and Long Yue, the two pinnacle Saint Emperors, the rest either entered the Xuan Yuan Palace or were star beasts in hell.
So many Saint Emperors could settle most matters.
Wang Sheng did all this, delivering sermons, gifting immortal fruit, he naturally was not acting as a fool, but had intentions.
Some matters could be settled at this moment.
The saints outside, seeing Wang Sheng personally isolate them, easily guessed that important discussions were to be had.
