Giant Azure Roc

This spiritual sphere was the reason Zhao Yongzheng was not cultivated. It drew all the spiritual power from his dainties, making him unable to make any progress in his cultivation. When he first discovered this realm at the age of thirteen, the spiritual sphere was dull and weak, shining an almost invisible glow. But now, it has been so lively, so close to full brightness, that it is poised to release an extraordinary force.

"Ah, how I look forward to that day, a full life cycle took me and I can't wait." With a very eager smile, Zhao Yongzheng said those words with impatience.

This spiritual sphere was the source of Zhao Yongzheng's blessing. On the one hand, it was a blessing because it saved him from a fatal tribulation that almost killed him, but on the other, it was a curse because it prevented him from cultivation for a whole life cycle. This spiritual sphere not only draws the spiritual power from its dainties, it stores it, keeps it waiting for the right moment to come back, and when it is completed, it will be the cause of the tribulation of heaven again.

But more importantly, that spiritual sphere was the cause of the murder of the sinful son, and the key element of the great breakthrough pill. It contained immense energy and a blink, which is why Zhao Yongzheng studied spells throughout his lifetime. But he couldn't understand anything at all, except for one thing that made him so passionate and impatient.

Earth Spirit Sect.

Inside a wide hall adorned with the rarest high-quality jade, adorned with antique engravings and artifacts, the weather was full of dignity and majesty. Six powerful auras filled the place, as the sect master met with the masters to discuss the invisible spirits realm. 

"The invisible spirits realm will open its doors seven days from now," the sect master of the Earth Spirit Sect, Xia Ling, spoke in a calm and eager expression. "This has been confirmed with the rest of the masters of the other spirits sects, and it has been determined that thirty disciples and one master from each sect will go there."

"This time the campaign will be shared with the Bamboo Spirit sect. But that doesn't mean we have to introduce them to us in anything, what you find first is yours. Do not do anything unless it is an ordinary thing," Said the sect master firmly, and then aimed his eyes at the old Xia Qigang,"Master Xia Qigang, you will be the one going this time." 

Xia Qigang bowed gently, his old eyes interspersed with white eyelashes reflecting his age. He replied in a quiet voice bearing the traces of time, "I will be at the best of expectations, sect master"

The sect master nodded satisfiedly, "Good, I've told you everything you need to know. Now, go and prepare the disciples well before going," he waved his hand signaling the masters to leave.

Masters bowed politely and then left to leave the hall, except for the old Xia Qigang, who remained standing next to the sect master.

"Did the bamboo spirit sect send what we asked of them?" The sect master spoke quietly as he looked at Xia Qigang.

"Yes, sect master, they sent what we asked for," Master Xia Qigang replied, pulling a wooden box decorated with ancient details, whose ancient appearance gives it an aura of mystery.

The sect master gently took the box, slowly opened its lid, and a clever herb scent pervaded the entire spacious place. The odor bore breezes of purity, healing, and tranquillity. 

"Great, they seem to have fully responded to us," said the sect master, breathing deeply and with a smile on his face.

Xia Qigang stood steadfastly, his old eyes watching the sect master with deep focus. "Yes, the opportunity that our ancestors sought so long ago within the invisible spirit realm may become a reality thanks to this. We cannot certainly lose this precious opportunity."

"Definitely, these people of bamboo spirit were not dreaming of such an alliance opportunity even in their most ambitious dreams," said the sect master sarcastically, carefully closing the box and returning it to Xia Qigang. "Sect depends on you in this master Xia Qigang."

"I promise to achieve what our ancestors had sought, sect master," Xia Qigang bowed again, then turned around to go to carry out orders. The air was still fraught with herbs when he left the room, leaving the sect master to contemplate the outcome of their quest.

Seven days later, the eternal spirit sect.

Inside a vast and spacious square, the disciples of the eternal spirit sect have gathered in enthusiasm and joy, eagerly awaiting their entry into the invisible spirits realm. it was a rare opportunity, coming only once every seven thousand years, so their great passion and ready to go ahead was clear. However, there was no movement or signal to begin the preparations, even with the presence of the master of the formation hall, Qing Shan. as well as the disciples of the hall masters, everyone seemed in a state of anticipation, not knowing exactly what to expect.

"Master of the formation hall, what is there?" Jing Yi asked with wonder.

"There is still someone who has not arrived yet," said Qing Shan with a calm voice and tone with a degree of grumbling, while her eyes quickly wandered towards Zhao Xiaohui. In a very faint voice, almost unheard of, she said to herself, "Tsk, even if that disabled will come. But why does he have to be late like this?" 

From a distance, a man appeared running fast, sweating richly from his forehead and shining in the sun. A heavy bag hung on his back swung at every step, emitting a light sound at every vibration. When he approached, he smiled widely, while raising his hand in a friendly gesture, waving to announce his arrival.

Seeing the scene, everyone was silent, with signs of surprise on their faces. Their eyes were so wide, it wasn't believable what you saw. They couldn't believe that what was happening in front of them was real and not just a sudden joke!

Everyone knew that Zhao Yongzheng was handicapped, could not even carry storage belts that were like dimensional bags. These belts provide a convenient way to store heavy or large items and materials, and are often equipped with magical technologies to expand their storage capacity, but can only be used with spiritual power.

"Are you kidding me?!" Jing Yi said with a completely surprised face.

"Why are you doubting it?! Sect master gave permission to come, so do you now object to the decision of the sect master?" said Zhao Xiaohui, with a malicious smile on her lips. Although she was also worried about his arrival.

When everyone heard this, they all closed their open mouths in amazement, unaware of what the sect master might give such a thing, for he had some injustice to them too, who had to cut themselves open in order to gain access to the invisible spirits realm, and as soon as he was the son of the sect master he easily received such permission.

The only person who did not show any expression of surprise was Zhao Mei, a student of the Hall of the Divine Sword. She did not seem to care about her surroundings, but in her eyes there was a faint glow of unspoken interest. whispered softly, "He really came." 

"All right, enough talking, we're already too late." Master of the formation hall, giving a firm look at Zhao Yongzheng, complaining about his lateness.

"Haha, sorry about that." Zhao Yongzheng laughed lightly with his hand behind his head in an apologetic move, then approached and stood by his big sister, expressing rejoicing at his going. 

Suddenly, the master of the formation hall raised her hand with a firm move, and a loud, light cloud filled the air. Spiritual power manipulated around her, accelerating defiantly to reason, as if the world itself were responding to her call. The air began to spin, and the shining effects of spiritual energy created a colorful vortex that fluttered around it.

At a marvelous moment, a giant bird appeared from the midst of cosmic turmoil, the giant azure roc. This giant crystal bird moved with wind wings as vast and flexible, bright blue printed as patterned with the blast colors of the sky. Its wings stretched like giant sails, separating the clouds and creating clouds of sparkling blue feathers that flew around it.

When the bird landed, the great tremors of its feet led to slight tremors on the ground. The bird's bright eyes, like those of a bright star, reflect sharply on the audience as its breath creates light clouds of blue fog that engulf the place in a mysterious and dignified atmosphere. 

The giant azure roc had a majestic presence and eye-catching power, and the atmosphere around it raised a sense of immense power and spaciousness. Making everyone in awe of his great power and speed, he was the divine beast of the eternal spirit sect.

"Come on, quickly, we're going to be late!" ordered the master of the formation hall, Qing Shan, in a firm voice. Once she had completed her instructions, all the disciples rushed to the giant bird at full speed, expressing their enthusiasm and excitement. The giant azure roc stood firm, with an aura of strength and glory circling around it, as the pupils soared through the air at astonishing speed.

However, amid this organized chaos, there was only one person who was unable to fly, and that was Zhao Yongzheng. Fortunately for him, Qing Shan had arranged in advance to help him, gently carrying him towards the giant bird. 

"Come on, move!" shouted the master of the formation hall again, assuring everyone was ready to go. With all confirmed to stand safely on the back of the giant bird, Qing Shan issued the final order. 

"Rorer!" The giant bird gave a powerful cry, a sound of strength and determination. Then, by flapping its huge wings that folded the air beneath it, the giant blue bird began to rise. Its large wings moved so fast that the air around it was so resounding that the journey to the invisible spirit realm began so quickly and smoothly.
