Ling Ziruo did not agree immediately. Rather, she discussed the matter with the ninth-stage God from Guangling Palace. After all, this was a major decision to make. She couldn't make it casually. Xiang Shaoyun was in no rush. He could afford to wait.
Before long, Ling Ziruo returned. She came with a complete version of the Seven Severing Tunes. Although it was not the Guangling Tome, it was still an exceptional zither tome. It was much better than the incomplete version Xiang Shaoyun had obtained before.
"This Seven Severing Tunes isn't quite comparable with our Guangling Tome. But will this book and a top-tier god-grade zither, the Severing Tune Zither, be enough to trade for a pot of your primal chaos spring water?" asked Ling Ziruo.
Xiang Shaoyun was attracted to the offer. He immediately handed the pot in his hand to Ling Ziruo before accepting the book and the zither from her. As Ling Ziruo said, although the Seven Severing Tunes book wasn't comparable with the Guangling Tome, it was still an extremely rare god-grade zither book. Furthermore, it was a complete version. With the Severing Tune Zither and the complete technique, Gong Qinyin would definitely be able to enter the God Realm as a zither master.
Ling Ziruo heaved a breath of relief. The pot of primal chaos spring water was enough to advance the cultivation of many Guangling Palace members. Things were constantly changing on the battlefield. Without enough strength, it would be extremely dangerous trying to survive.
Then, Xiang Shaoyun took out several bottles of primal chaos spring water. Each bottle had ten drops. He then called over Lin Meijia, Feng Meng, and some other young Gods before extending the offer to trade for the spring water.
Lin Meijia, Feng Meng, and the others were naturally overjoyed. They took out their own treasures and completed the trade with Xiang Shaoyun. The primal chaos spring water was something that one might not be able to encounter regardless of how wealthy one was. For them, ten drops of primal chaos spring water were enough to increase their cultivation considerably.
They all knew that since Xiang Shaoyun was casually trading these bottles of spring water away, he definitely had more. They were envious and wanted more, but none could offer any treasure that could catch Xiang Shaoyun's attention.
Xiang Shaoyun did tell them that he would be willing to trade at any time if anyone could offer something he was interested in. He extended the offer not only to the young Gods present but also to all the Gods in their alliance.
All the other Gods were overjoyed upon hearing the offer. They all took out their treasures, hoping that Xiang Shaoyun would take a liking to their treasures. Some of the treasures did manage to catch Xiang Shaoyun's eyes. He thus traded for them, but only with five drops of spring water per bottle this time because the offered treasures were only worth that much.
Some of the more common god-grade items were only traded for with two drops. Even so, the various Gods were still overjoyed. Even one drop would benefit their cultivation greatly, strengthen their body, and help increase the success rate of breaking through. No ordinary god-grade item could compare with the primal chaos spring water.
Xiang Shaoyun gathered all the god-grade treasures he obtained from the others and planted them all in his astral cosmos sea. His astral cosmos sea had finally completed its transformation into a world. It was branded with the profundity of primal inception. The powers of primal chaos and yin and yang also existed there, providing enough nourishment for all living beings to grow rapidly. The astral cosmos sea was basically a world fresh out of creation.
Xiang Shaoyun could also control the flow of time in his astral cosmos sea. A year could pass in his astral cosmos sea while only a day passed in the real world. After that discovery, he took all his trusted Saints into his astral cosmos sea, allowing them to cultivate there.
The first batch of Saints to enter were Xia Liuhui, Liang Zhuangmin, Lady Shura, Jiang Qi, Zhuge Zhantian, and some of the younger members of his group. Xiang Shaoyun gave them a decent amount of saint-grade treasures.
The astral cosmos sea was also filled with so much primal inception energy that they could absorb as much of the energy as they could and Xiang Shaoyun would still have plenty of energy. In fact, they wouldn't be able to absorb even one percent of Xiang Shaoyun's supply. After all, his cultivation was now much higher than theirs.
Several days passed, and they broke through one after another. Some only advanced by two or three stages, while some only advanced by one stage. As a whole, they had improved greatly.
If this continued, it wouldn't be long before they reached the Great Saint Realm or even the pseudo-God Realm. Xiang Shaoyun could sense all the changes, and he was overjoyed. He hurriedly called over a group of wolf guards and some other Saints before sending them into his astral cosmos sea as well.
These people were not even aware that they had entered Xiang Shaoyun's astral cosmos sea. He had pulled them all in after sealing their senses, only allowing them to sense the energy required for cultivation. Thus, they would only be able to cultivate and not explore his astral cosmos sea.
In a flash, a month passed. Those within Xiang Shaoyun's astral cosmos sea had grown by leaps and bounds. Many had become pseudo-Gods, lacking only the proper opportunity to become a God. Xiang Shaoyun gave all these pseudo-Gods some primal chaos spring water, pushing them all into the God Realm.
"Haha, I'm finally a God!" said Xia Liuhui with a hearty laugh.
His body was covered with a layer of flowing radiance that was red and blue in color. The two colors represented the powers of flame and water. As the two powers blended together, they emanated an indescribable aura considerably more powerful than ordinary Gods.
As for Liang Zhuangmin, he had buried himself into the ground for his breakthrough. He became one with the land, becoming a land dragon of incomparable strength. Lady Shure had broken through earlier than the others, reaching second-stage God Realm. She formed a dreadful Asura Avatar, obtaining powerful combat prowess.
Jiang Qi and Zhuge Zhantian were also talented young geniuses. Both had broken through before Xiang Shaoyun brought them back out to the real world. Upon reaching the God Realm, they needed a large energy supply. Xiang Shaoyun wasn't afraid that they would suck him dry, but he believed that they needed to temper themselves through battle after breaking through to stabilize their newfound strength.
During the past month, the other allied armies had fought the aliens many times. Both the humans and the aliens had suffered some victories and defeats. Xiang Shaoyun's group was the only one that had remained hidden. They were able to cultivate in peace, but now, they had decided to end their silence.
Apart from those still attempting to break through, Xiang Shaoyun and Dugu Qiubai led an army of 10,000 to attack the aliens. One of Xiang Shaoyun's clones was hidden amid the void, observing a group of aliens he had discovered a while ago. These aliens were currently fighting Shi Gong's group.
By fighting our own battles, we will only be crushed one by one, sighed Xiang Shaoyun inwardly before leading his people to sally forth.
