đź“– Chapter 1198 - Ascension Disk Anchors a Civilization!
With the integration of the Violet Gold Civilization, the civilization level of the Federation rose rapidly!
The natural and magical laws of the Heavenly Dao expanded constantly, spreading in all directions and permeating all things. There were also bolt of violet lightning streaking across the galaxy like purple snakes in the starry sky.
The cultivators of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace and Divine Eye Civilization all immediately experienced an increase in their level of life as well as an influx of spiritual energy. In an instant, the aura of breakthrough erupted all around the newly expanded Federation.
Among them, the Divine Eye Civilization’s Divine Sovereign Justice Patriarch directly broke through from the great circle of the Planet Realm to the Eternal Star Realm. He had already begun preparation for his breakthrough many years ago. The Planet in his body was Immortal-grade, the highest grade one could hope for in the old Divine Eye Civilization.
After igniting his Immortal Planet and riding the wave of spiritual energy, he managed to turn it into an Eternal Star. His cultivation base finally entered the Eternal Star Realm!
Numerous cultivators of the Divine Eye Civilization also broke through to a new major realm, and there were even three new Planet Realm cultivators!
As for the Vast Expanse Dao Palace, rumbling sounds reverberated through the entire ancient bronze sword, and figures suddenly shot out of the locations where they had been healing. A total of nine Planet Realm cultivators had recovered from their injuries and exited seclusion!
Qing Lingzi also completely recovered, returning to the middle stage of the Eternal Star Realm!
There was also Reverend Star Wings. Because of the depth of his cultivation base, he didn’t recover completely, but he could feel that his serious injuries had lightened quite a bit already.
But the ones who improved the most… were the original cultivators of the Federation from Earth. Their level of improvement was comparable to that of the Divine Eye Civilization and the Dao Palace combined.
The bodies of all the Planet Realm cultivators rumbled. With the rise in life level and influx of spiritual energy, Zhao Yameng, Li Xingwen, Wu Mengling, Lin You, the Jin Family patriarch, and Daoist Osmanthus all broke through.
The middle stage of the Planet Realm, then the late stage… in the end, Li Xingwen was worthy of being a shining star of his generation. He was the first to break through to the Eternal Star Realm! Soon after him was Zhao Yameng, and then Lin You!
As for Wu Mengling, the Jin Family’s patriarch, and Daoist Osmanthus, they stopped at the late stage of the Planet Realm.
There were many others who broke through one after another. Out of the Federation’s original Spirit Immortal Realm cultivators, a whole thirteen advanced to the Planet Realm.
The rumbling of constant breakthroughs, the emergence of multiple Planet Realm cultivators, and the light of several newly-risen Eternal Stars made the new Federation even more dazzling.
The reason the Federation’s original cultivators improved so much was because they were the leaders. Whether before or now, the original cultivators of the Federation were the true masters of the galaxy, so their cultivation bases improved much more compared to their subsidiaries.
And the one who received the most benefits was still Wang Baole!
If the Federation’s original cultivators were the leaders, then Wang Baole was the ruler of the leaders!
As the Violet Gold Civilization integrated into the Federation, Wang Baole’s divine soul directly jumped to the ninetieth step on the stairway of the great circle of the Eternal Star Realm. Moreover, it quickly continued rising. From the ninetieth step to to the ninety-third, then the ninety-sixth, and then… the ninety-ninth!
Soon, Wang Baole’s divine soul trembled. It reached the hundredth step on the stairway of the great circle of the Eternal Star Realm, but it only stayed there for a moment before breaking through… to the Star Domain Realm!
Wang Baole’s fleshly body and divine soul had both reached the Star Domain Realm. Due to the depth of his foundation, his cultivation base didn’t break through, remaining in the great circle of the Eternal Star Realm. However, with the breakthrough of his divine soul, his battle prowess instantly skyrocketed.
Wang Baole slowly opened his eyes. Right now, sitting cross-legged in the Sun, he was like a god at the center of the new Federation!
As the rumbling of breakthroughs rang out all over the Federation, the expansion of the galaxy seemed to send a ripple throughout the starry sky. All the powerhouses of the Left Dao Holy Region looked over in shock. Their gazes seemed to cross the sea of stars and fall on the Federation that had expanded to hundreds of times its original size!
In fact, they couldn’t really see the Federation, nor was it that their divine wills had crossed the unimaginable distance. Instead, it was a natural instinct due to their closeness to the starry sky’s Dao.
But the different factions had different reactions to the rise of a new overlord in this Left Dao Holy Region. Although most of them were shocked and wary, the major sects at the top of the holy region were much less so. For example, the first-ranked Nine Provinces Dao was merely slightly surprised. The appearance of a dozen more Planet Realm cultivators was nothing much, and even several new Eternal Star Realm cultivators weren’t too impressive. Although the newly empowered Federation could rise up to become a big boss in the Left Dao Holy Region… in the end, it was still lacking in true experts!
After all, the Nine Dao Sect only knew Wang Baole to be at most a somewhat exceptional Eternal Star Realm cultivator. They could only sense the expansion of the Federation’s galaxy and couldn’t see Wang Baole in person, so they didn’t think too much of him. Instead, they were more wary of the Flame Patriarch and the Vast Expanse Dao Palace’s Reverend Star Wings.
From the perspective of the Nine Provinces Dao, these two Star Domain Realm Almighties were the Federation’s true reserve strength. Moreover, although they were powerful, the Flame Patriarch couldn’t use his curse lightly, and Reverend Star Wings was still injured. The Nine Provinces Dao and the other high-ranking sects didn’t lack Star Domain Realm Almighties of their own. Thus, although the Federation had risen rapidly, it wasn’t seen as much of a threat.
Of course, there were two other reasons for their lack of shock. One was that… a great catastrophe was about to befall the Never-Ending Dao Domain, so these high-ranking forces were busy worrying over their own survival.
And the other… was because forces such as the Nine Provinces Dao all knew clearly that advancing through merging with other civilization, while fast, had many disadvantages and couldn’t be done endlessly.
Such a method was full of instability. If the subordinate party in the merger was a small civilization, then it was fine. But merging with a behemoth like the Violet Gold Civilization was like a snake swallowing an elephant. Many hidden dangers would be left behind, and it would take a long time to fully digest the other civilization. Furthermore, this method would quickly reach its limit, leaving the civilization unable to continue advancing.
In the end… it would be impossible to reach the level of top-ranked forces like the Nine Provinces Dao.
At most, the civilization’s starting point would be a little higher. But its foundation would be unstable, and it would topple over with some strong winds.
Naturally, Wang Baole understood all of this as well. His ambitions were great, and he was in a race against time. Thus, he obviously wouldn’t be satisfied with the fact that his cultivation base hadn’t broken through even after the integration of the Violet Gold Civilization. However, it had to be said… that Wang Baole never cared about the Violet Gold Civilization in the first place.
He had only offered the Violet Gold Civilization the chance to integrate with the Federation in passing. What he truly wanted to use to advance the civilization was… the World Ascension Disk!
As its name implied, this disk could be used to advance a civilization’s level, but that wasn’t all. It could also be used as a destiny-anchoring treasure, ensuring that the civilization’s advancement wouldn’t result in any instabilities, and thus… allowing a civilization to merge with as many other civilizations as it wanted!
In other words, with the power of the World Ascension Disk, the Federation would no longer be bound by a limited number of integrations. It would be able to advance limitlessly!
Wang Baole released his divine sense, immediately enveloping the new Federation that was a hundred times larger than before. Lifting his right hand, he suddenly spoke.
“All lives are Dao, and the Ascension Disk is an accumulation of such. From now on… it shall be the foundation of my Federation, anchoring the starry sky so that the Federation shall never collapse or be destroyed!”
In an instant, the ordinary-looking World Ascension Disk flew out of the Sun, expanding countless times over as it did so. At a rate visible to the naked eye, it grew larger and larger until it covered the entire solar system, and at the same time, it turned more and more transparent until it completely disappeared!
With a rumble, the unsteady solar system became completely stable, as if it had been anchored to the spot. In that instant, the density of spiritual energy rose again!
The cultivation bases of all living things resumed their upward climb!
