Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1255: Chapter 682: The Immortal Decree Descends, Slaughter Begins

After assessing Zhao Sheng’s strength, Huo Dou was extremely excited and couldn’t help but lavish praise.

Zhao Sheng, of course, modestly returned a few compliments, while also praising Senior Brother Huo Dou for deliberately holding back, otherwise, he would have been defeated quickly.

That’s what they mean by mutual flattery.

Huo Dou intended to have a long chat with his junior brother, but the timing was off; he had stayed too long in the Burial Immortal Ruins, so he had to return to the Lower Realm.

A moment later, with joy on his face, Huo Dou reminded Zhao Sheng several times not to miss the gathering time, and then quickly “logged off”.

Seeing Huo Dou leave, Zhao Sheng leisurely exited Honghuang Heaven, arrived at the workshop market streets, and began to stroll around slowly.

He passed one stall after another, countless rare treasures catching his eye, yet none could captivate his heart.

The streets were bustling and crowded, with hawkers’ cries resounding one after another, and the air was filled with various exotic and elixir fragrances, much livelier than Gray Mountain Old Street.

“Come and see! Various ancient True Spirit blood essences for sale!”

“Don’t miss out as you pass by! Everything offered by the Spirit-controlling Immortal Sect is top-grade!”

“A single drop of True Spirit blood essence for just one Principle Crystal. You won’t regret buying it! Besides ancient True Spirit blood essences, there are also three Divinity Transformation Level Spirit Talismans! One talisman can help you tame a God Transformation Demon Emperor. Rare treasures, while supplies last! Come and see…”

Not long after, suddenly familiar hawkers’ cries hit his ears, and Zhao Sheng abruptly stopped, heading towards the stall from where the cries came.

The stall owner wore a Ten Thousand Beasts Daoist Robe, with a Tiger Skull Bone Crown on their head, had dark skin and an honest face, yet their speech was indeed slick.

On the stall were neatly arranged crimson Crystal Stones the size of fists, with drops of glistening blood pearls that were red, purple, or silver-white, sealed within, appearing quite extraordinary.

Zhao Sheng squatted down, his eyes meeting the stall owner’s as he sternly asked, “Are you a disciple of the Spirit-controlling Immortal Sect? Very well, elder I ask, which world is your sect located in? And what proof do you have to show that you are a disciple of the Spirit-controlling Immortal Sect?”

Bi Jie saw the Kui Niu Mask on his face and swallowed nervously before quickly pulling out a Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Token from his bosom and respectfully presenting it to Zhao Sheng.

“Immortal Envoy, here is my Identity Jade Pendant, proving that I am a True Disciple of Mao Immortal Peak of the Spirit-controlling Immortal Sect. If I utter a word of falsehood, may I be struck down by Wu Lei. Besides, even if I had ten times the courage, I wouldn’t dare deceive you, Immortal Envoy!”

Hearing this, Zhao Sheng was slightly surprised, realizing that his identity was likely quite special within Gui Xu Square.

As a “Divine Beast” disciple chosen by Lord Wanxing, he should naturally have considerable privileges, which was why the other kept addressing him as Immortal Envoy.

Zhao Sheng motioned for him to put away the Identity Jade Pendant and continued, “Elder I need Thunder Attribute ancient True Spirit blood essence, do you have any?”

“Yes, absolutely!” Bi Jie nodded repeatedly, immediately picking up a green-blue Crystal Stone from the stall and indicating, “Master, please take a look. Sealed within is a drop of the heart blood of an Ancient Wind and Thunder Peng. The Ancient Wind and Thunder Peng is an ancient True Spirit with both Wind and Thunder attributes, pursuing wind and chasing lightning throughout its life, never resting. It surely meets your requirements. The exchange price is merely one Principle Crystal, with no restriction on the Law Attribute.”

Zhao Sheng took out a Fire Element Law Crystal from his sleeve, tossed it towards Bi Jie’s bosom, and simultaneously grabbed the Green-Blue Crystal Stone, casually placing it into his sleeve.

Then he further inquired, “Let me ask you another question. Have you heard of the name Zhao Xuanjing? He once tamed a Mountain Dragon, which might have evolved into a True Dragon by now. By the way, he also goes by another name, Zhao Xianglong!”

Bi Jie suddenly widened his eyes, an expression of astonishment dawning on his face, as if he really knew such a person.

Seeing his reaction, Zhao Sheng was overjoyed. After all these years, he finally heard news of Zhao Xuanjing again.

Having found the person, could the date to return to Tianzhu Realm be far behind?

Overjoyed, Zhao Sheng immediately pressed further, “Seems like you know him. Quickly, how is he doing now? Don’t worry, elder I also bear the Zhao name!”

Upon hearing, Bi Jie suddenly understood, realizing that the Kui Niu Immortal Envoy before him must have a profound connection with Master Xianglong.

“Reporting to Master, Master Xianglong is well! He is now ranked sixth among the Returning Void Elders of Lin Xian Peak, renowned among our sect’s disciples!”

“Good! That is excellent! A reward is in order.”

Saying this, Zhao Sheng smiled and flicked a Top-grade Spirit Stone into Bi Jie’s arms.

“Thank you, Master, for your reward!” Bi Jie hurriedly bowed in gratitude.

Zhao Sheng nodded slightly, then silently produced a Jade Scroll, using Original Spirit as the pen to inscribe a large amount of special information within, every symbol a unique cipher of the Zhao Family, absolutely uncrackable by anyone outside the Direct Lineage Clan Members.

After recording the general situation of the Zhao families in the Da Chun Realm and Black Sand Realm onto the Jade Scroll, Zhao Sheng briefly introduced himself too, though his apparent identity was that of Zhao Xi, who had already ascended to the Spirit Realm.

A few moments later, Zhao Sheng handed the Jade Scroll to the Spirit-controlling Immortal Sect disciple, instructing him to personally deliver it to Zhao Xuanjing.

“Young friend, so long as you handle this matter earnestly! Elder I will surely reward you generously.” Zhao Sheng feared he might be careless and therefore reiterated emphatically in the end.
