Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1410: Chapter 756: Identity Exposed, Recruitment and Top-Secret Mission (Part 2)

Zhao Xuanjing immediately said, “This is not difficult! I have already asked many friends in the sect to help, and in a few years, the True Souls you need will be completely collected. Then, someone will be sent to deliver them to you.”

Zhao Sheng nodded at this, without mentioning the cost of this matter at all.

Of course, given the close relationship between the two of them, there’s no need to discuss such trivial matters.

Next, Zhao Sheng discussed with Zhao Xuanjing about the Star Lord issue.

According to Zhao Xuanjing’s plan, he had already chosen a Spirit Star called Origin Realm.

This star has more land and less sea, with nature’s spiritual energy leaning towards the Gold and Earth Elements, which has infinite benefits for the Tao he cultivates.

With the Origin Star as the Dao Field, the Divine Artisan Zhao Clan can also move to this star, becoming a veritable “Small Immortal Faction” family, with unlimited development potential from now on.

It can be said that the Star Lord move is crucial and important. It not only concerns Zhao Xuanjing’s future path but also lays an unbreakable foundation for the Divine Artisan Zhao Clan for generations to come!

Zhao Xuanjing stayed at A3 Virtual Realm Fortress for only two days before hurriedly returning to the Taiyi Spirit Realm.

After sending him off, Zhao Sheng felt relieved, his Primordial Spirit suddenly clear, and his Daoist path instantly advanced considerably.

He quickly returned to the core hall to continue refining the remaining devilish power within him.

Under the management and guidance of the Illusion Spirit White Deer, the inside and outside of A3 Virtual Realm Fortress were in perfect order, saving Zhao Sheng countless Heart Power.

The four fleet commanders were also diligent, controlling the battleships on schedule for patrols, while simultaneously eliminating invading Alien Demon Clan groups.

Time flew by, and two years passed in a blink.

One day, Zhao Sheng was urgently awakened by the Illusion Spirit White Deer.

“My lord, a Heavenly Level communication signal has been sent, please receive it promptly!”

Zhao Sheng opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, “Receive it immediately!”

As soon as he said this, the White Deer suddenly twisted into a mass of white light, followed by an old man in red robes emerging from the light, none other than Master Bi Fang!

Zhao Sheng immediately got up and bowed, “Junior pays respects to Master Bi Fang.”

“No need for formalities!” Master Bi Fang’s expression was stern as he suddenly said, “I am contacting you personally this time because there is an urgent top-secret mission that needs you to complete.”

Zhao Sheng’s mind raced, and he respectfully said, “Please clarify the mission, Master. I will do my utmost.”

Master Bi Fang seemed very satisfied and nodded with a smile, “Outside the area you are in, there is a Spirit Star occupied by alien demons. I need you to go to this star and meet someone. This person’s code name is Qiongqi and is carrying a vital mission. You need to go secretly, retrieve a Sumeru Ring from him, and return with it safely. This matter is of utmost secrecy and must not be discovered by alien demons. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng immediately bowed in agreement.

Master Bi Fang waved and sent out a streak of Flowing Light, which fell before him and turned into a Crystal Pearl.

Zhao Sheng caught the pearl and carefully tucked it into his bosom.

“You have only one day. Set off immediately. If you do not see him within a day, return to the fortress at once and act as if this never happened!”

“I understand! Setting off immediately.” Zhao Sheng nodded and said.

“Very well, there will be rewards if the task is completed!”

With that, Master Bi Fang suddenly disappeared from the light and shadow, and the Illusion Spirit White Deer reformed.

Zhao Sheng, looking composed, instructed the White Deer to guard the home, then his form flickered and vanished into thin air.

…

A moment later, in the depths of a mountain range on a planet with an atmosphere showing reddish-brown hues, there were countless gigantic nests towering into the clouds.

Around the nests grew vast swathes of peculiar vegetation, with countless weak demon puppet creatures residing there.

At this time, amidst a dim and shadowy gray-black forest, a transparent figure hid in the shadows, gazing in the direction of the demon nest from afar.

This figure, of course, was Zhao Sheng, who had infiltrated.

Come to think of it, this Spirit Star was on the fringes of the Devilish Thought Mist, the entire planet had been conquered by alien demons and planted with innumerable alien demon nests.

The Devilish Thought Mist is indeed one of the alien demons’ unfathomable tactics.

As soon as Zhao Sheng arrived here, his Divine Thought and Original Spirit were greatly affected, drastically reducing his detection range.

However, with his current strength, he could traverse the star unobstructed, with no demon able to challenge him.

As he waited silently, groups of Flying Lizards flew overhead, carrying lifeless Human Clan figures upon their backs, all victims whose bodies had been seized by alien demons.

“Demon Cultivators or Ghost Cultivators?…” thought Zhao Sheng, hidden, as he watched the patrol slowly fly past, pondering the identity of the contact person.

Just as alien demons plant numerous spies among humans, the Spirit Realm Human Clan likewise infiltrates the alien demons.

Given the alien demons’ peculiar nature, ordinary Human Clan Cultivators couldn’t blend in; only Demon Cultivators and Ghost Cultivators trained in Special Techniques were most suited.

As time gradually passed, night fell quickly.

The clouds in the sky suddenly turned a faint red, and soon afterward, a blood-red, fishy rain began to fall lightly.

As the day was about to end, with only one hour left before the final deadline, Zhao Sheng suddenly raised his brow, as the Crystal Pearl in his bosom inexplicably glimmered faintly,

“Finally here!” he thought to himself, stepping out from the shadow.

At this moment, a blurry ghostly figure descended silently along with the rain, entering this peculiar forest.

The shadow rapidly approached Zhao Sheng but abruptly stopped ten zhang away.

The darkness gradually dissipated, revealing a tall wolf-headed, human-bodied man.

He was clad in pitch-black Armor, his face a deep green, skin withered, eyes exuding a faint black aura, nostrils reduced to mere Black Holes, looking exceedingly fierce and terrifying — a mighty Demon Emperor in the Divinity Transformation Realm.

As he stood firm, his copper-bell-like eyes glowed red, scrutinizing Zhao Sheng with caution and vigilance.

Zhao Sheng reacted by promptly showing the Crystal Pearl to prove his identity.

The wolf-headed man visibly relaxed, suddenly tapping his chest, from which a transparent head emerged. Its appearance was that of an ordinary middle-aged man.

“Are you Senior Qiongqi?” Zhao Sheng quickly moved to a few zhang away, brushing his Divine Thought over him.

However, his Divine Thought was in vain, as if the other was merely an illusion, non-existent in this world.

Zhao Sheng was both shocked and curious, wondering why someone of such high cultivation would risk infiltrating the alien demons, knowing that exposure meant almost certain death.

“Yes, I am Qiongqi. Are you the one sent to meet me?” the middle-aged man scrutinized Zhao Sheng and asked, his voice hoarse and dry, somewhat eerie.

Zhao Sheng did not respond, but instead channeled a stream of Mana into the Crystal Pearl.

In an instant, the spirit light on the Crystal Pearl’s surface became distorted and transformed into an exceptionally clear image, resembling Master Bi Fang.

“Very good, it seems your identity is verified. In that case, I…”

The mysterious middle-aged man was about to continue when his face suddenly twisted, showing a hint of pain, as his breathing abruptly quickened.

The wolf-headed man visibly relaxed, suddenly tapping his chest, from which a transparent head emerged. Its appearance was that of an ordinary middle-aged man.

“Are you Senior Qiongqi?” Zhao Sheng quickly moved to a few zhang away, brushing his Divine Thought over him.

However, his Divine Thought was in vain, as if the other was merely an illusion, non-existent in this world.

Zhao Sheng did not respond, but instead…
