Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1336: Chapter 721: Arrogance Turns to Deference, A Wise Man Submits to Circumstances

Fengyi True Monarch suddenly seemed to age hundreds of years, his entire being becoming extremely dejected, and unwillingly removed a dusty ring from his index finger.

Then, he slowly shifted the Treasure inside the Sumeru Ring to other Storage Bags, and with a humiliated expression, handed over the Sumeru Ring.

He never imagined the current situation would undergo such a drastic change.

Chun Jun Ancestor, as the Primordial Yang Spirit Treasure guarding the mountain gate, not only refused to help his own people but instead assisted outsiders in forcing him to hand over the Treasure. It was utterly humiliating.

However, Fengyi True Monarch made one mistake.

In Chun Jun Youth’s eyes, compared to forming enmity with a Returning to Void Realm Holy Beast Bloodline, the resentment of a mere Divinity Transformation junior was of no consequence.

Zhao Sheng casually took hold of the Sumeru Ring and conveniently slipped it into his sleeve.

"Taoist is indeed a trustworthy person. However, my guess of the Nine Nether Tower’s whereabouts might only be answered by this Divinity Transformation junior. I wish to inquire, would Taoist permit?"

"Feel free to ask! If he dares utter a single falsehood, my Ancestor shall personally deal with him." Chun Jun Youth said with a cheerful grin.

Yet his words caused Fengyi True Monarch’s heart to tremble, keenly aware that Chun Jun Ancestor’s words bore no trace of politeness.

Zhao Sheng’s gaze flickered, turning to look at Fengyi True Monarch, and blandly asked, "Where is the Nine Nether Tower?"

Immediately, Fengyi True Monarch was drenched in sweat, intensely unwilling and filled with grief, knowing the question directly cornered him, leaving no room to avoid.

In a flash of thought, he suddenly decided to take a gamble, and promptly replied with sincerity, "Reporting to senior... the junior dares to swear by the heavens that I truly do not know the whereabouts of the Nine Nether Tower."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of playful smile appearing on his face as his indifferent gaze fell upon Fengyi True Monarch’s face, suddenly silent.

Witnessing this, Chun Jun Ancestor’s expression showed some surprise, followed by a hint of anger and shame.

Without another word, it suddenly waved its hand, instantly confining Fengyi True Monarch in place.

Then, Fengyi True Monarch’s expression became incredibly fearful, and suddenly he spat out a mouthful of essence blood, his aura immediately withering.

In the next moment, a black radiance abruptly flew from his brow’s Purple Mansion, forming into an eight-sided nine-layered grey-black stone tower towering a foot high upon reaching the Upper Sky, unmistakably the Nine Nether Tower.

Zhao Sheng’s eyes burst forth with Divine Light, Divine Thought instantly enveloping the Nine Nether Tower, seizing it to the right side in an instant.

"Haha, daring to play tricks with my Ancestor, you’re far too green, kid!" Chun Jun Youth’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise but outwardly sneered dismissively.

Fengyi True Monarch’s face turned ashen, yet he gritted his teeth without uttering a word, his entire being exceedingly downcast.

Having barely refined the Nine Nether Tower for under a hundred years, it was handed over by Chun Jun Ancestor, shattering his opportunity for attaining the Dao, and his ability to remain composed without losing sanity was a testament to Fengyi True Monarch’s profound strategic mind.

At this moment, Daoist Qingqiu hurriedly arrived in a tunneling light.

Upon landing on the high platform, he swiftly took out a silver-white miniature bow and quickly stepped forward before Zhao Sheng, respectfully offering it with folded hands.

"Senior, the Chasing Sun Bow is here, please accept it with a smile!"

Zhao Sheng nodded, reached out and took the Chasing Sun Bow, instantly storing it inside the Sumeru Space.

Seeing this, Chun Jun Ancestor suddenly laughed and clapped, saying: "Haha, now that all three Treasures are returned, is Taoist satisfied?"

Zhao Sheng laughed: "Chun Jun Taoist, you are wise and big-hearted; I greatly admire Zhao Menghan. If I offended before, I hope Taoist will forgive me."

"Not at all, not at all; it was all a bunch of useless juniors misjudging a great person, causing a farce. Luckily, the misunderstanding was resolved in time, otherwise, my Treasure body wouldn’t withstand Taoist’s beating, haha!"

Feeling his speech amusing, Chun Jun Youth slapped his leg and laughed loudly to himself at the end.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng gradually revealed a polite smile.

Boom~

The Chunjun Cave Heaven shook violently again, the inner walls of the Spiritual Treasure cracking further and deeper, countless white lights floating and dispelling the cracks with full force.

Chun Jun Youth’s laughter was abruptly cut off, then pretended to pat his leg with remorse, saying: "Oh, nearly forgot an important matter! I’ll release Taoist now, hurry and have that great senior stop!"

Before the words fell, gentle and bright rays of light cascaded down from the Grotto Heaven’s Upper Sky.

At this moment, "Zhao Sheng" suddenly reconnected with the external entity.

In a brief moment, he had communicated all that transpired here to the main body.

In the Earth’s Core Magma Sea’s Upper Sky, the Thunder God Ape suddenly halted, its eyes shooting out two piercing rays landing on a pure white upturned lip wine pot floating in the fiery red magma, emitting a faint glow.

Having just endured a pounding, the Chun Jun Pot had shrunk immensely, now comparable to a regular wine pot.

At this time, the pot lid slightly exposed a crack, from which large sprays of white light burst forth, simultaneously releasing waves of rich wine aroma.

Meanwhile, inside the Chunjun Cave Heaven, Zhao Menghan hadn’t yet calmed from his excitement and joy when he suddenly felt his body lighten, soaring skyward as if riding clouds and mist.

After a swirling spin, what he saw startled him; he found himself unexpectedly in the Outer Domain Starry Sky.

At this moment beneath his feet, a massive planet was awakening, in plain sight countless fire-red magma spewing into the sky, and boundless black-red clouds swiftly engulfing the planet’s outer layer, encasing it in thick, searing clouds.
