Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1444: Chapter 782: Returning to Void Perfection, Entering the Beast Path (Part 2)

However, in the next instant, Zhao Sheng’s expression turned ecstatic, and his will force field immediately expanded outward, desperately absorbing the mysterious aura pervading the void.

It turned out that when the mysterious aura surged into the Purple Mansion and fell into the Soul Sea, the Primordial Spirit suddenly developed an uncontrollable desire.

After absorbing a wisp of mysterious aura, the Primordial Spirit suddenly became several degrees more condensed than before, and even his own will and Divine Thought surged by nearly ten percent.

Just a single strand of mysterious aura saved nearly a hundred years of hard work in one breath, it was simply incredible!

Zhao Sheng couldn’t care about anything else and quickly sat cross-legged on the ground, with the Three-headed and Six-armed Thunderclap Dharma Image emerging behind him.

In an instant, the mysterious aura permeating the void swirled around him and entered into the Will Dharma Form.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

As time passed, the originally slightly distorted Will Dharma Form became more and more real, until finally, it showed signs of Returning to the Truth.

The Dharma Image Returning to the Truth meant that Zhao Sheng’s cultivation was approaching Returning to Void Perfection.

From Returning to Void Ninth Layer Initial Realm, breaking through to Returning to Void Perfection in one go, this rocket-like speed of ascent was comparable to taking the legendary Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.

A moment later, Zhao Sheng only felt his Primordial Spirit expanding as if it was about to burst, as if a little more aura would make it explode.

He was startled and knew he had reached his limit, so he immediately withdrew his will force field and stopped absorbing the mysterious aura from outside.

He slowly opened his eyes, and the surrounding scene appeared before him.

Unlike before, this pure white space had six walls, each embedded with six doors.

The doors were also completely different from before, remarkably being heads that were either sacred, ferocious, or distorted, with gaping mouths forming dark, deep portals.

Above each head, there were blood-red characters that read: Heavenly Human Path, Hell Path, Asura Path, Evil Ghost Path, Human Path, Beast Path.

Zhao Sheng’s pupils contracted, and he was secretly surprised: "Heavenly Human Path, Asura Path... it’s exactly the legendary Six Paths of Reincarnation."

Astonished, Zhao Sheng’s eyes flickered with light, faintly shooting out two streaks of Electric Light, landing on the six giant heads.

Suddenly, a distortion and blur occurred before his eyes, and when the "vision" became clear again.

In an instant, the six giant heads suddenly came to life, with pairs of eyes rolling around, staring unceasingly at Zhao Sheng.

The next second, the six heads twisted and struggled together, seeming to silently roar, wail, cry, shout... each exhibiting different expressions, indicating a certain ominous meaning.

During this time, streams of colorful Flowing Light gushed out from the mouths of the heads, intertwining and merging, transforming into strands of chaotic and mysterious aura, scattering throughout the space.

"Immortal Qi? Demonic Qi? Or perhaps the legendary... Power of Reincarnation?" Countless thoughts flashed through Zhao Sheng’s mind, and he felt increasingly awed by the Sky-reaching White Tower.

Crack, crack...

At this moment, a sudden sound of wood splintering suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

Following the sound, Zhao Sheng saw a verdant tree shattering inch by inch, its leaves withering and falling at a speed visible to the naked eye, while fist-sized jade-yellow fruits grew between the branches.

The fruits quickly matured and cracked open, dropping small "babies" about five or six inches tall.

The majority of these babies self-destructed under some kind of pressure immediately after their birth, turning to ashes in an instant.

Crack... The tree split open from the crown and collapsed in fragments, scattering branches and trunk across the ground.

A small tree grew from the stump, shooting up to several feet in no time, its crown resembling a dragon, with branches and leaves delicate and transparent as if carved from jade.

As soon as the jade tree matured, the little babies hopped into the jade tree body.

With each fusion, the aura of the jade tree surged significantly.

By the time all the little babies had merged into the main body, the pressure emanating from the tree was as vast as the sea, already comparable to that of a Half-Immortal of the Void.

At this moment, the jade tree emitted a large expanse of clear light.

After the light scattered, a graceful and charming, exotically handsome young man appeared in its place.

The young man smiled charmingly at Zhao Sheng and suddenly clasped his hands together, saying, "I am Kuimu Xiao, and it’s a pleasure to meet Friend Nameless."

His voice was clear and pleasant, resembling that of a charming woman, completely contrasting with the sharp tone from before.

"Congratulations to Taoist Kuimu on your great progress in Daoist cultivation!" Zhao Sheng nodded slightly and returned the gesture respectfully.

"Haha, I owe such an opportunity to the great assistance of a friend. This gratitude, I will keep in my heart. Should there be any need in the future, I will definitely be there. This is a token from me, please accept it, my friend."

With that, Kuimu Xiao broke off a piece of his finger and tossed it over from afar.

The finger flew into the air, suddenly transforming into a wooden token, which fell into Zhao Sheng’s hand.

Zhao Sheng put away the wooden token, nodded towards Kuimu Xiao, and then turned to look at Qi Wu Yan not far away.

At this time, Qi Wu Yan had revealed his true form, transforming into a massive green beast as large as a Dragon Elephant, gulping in air.

With each breath, threads of mysterious aura were absorbed into his body, and his cultivation advanced at a rocket-like speed.

In a short half hour, the Pixi Giant Beast’s size had almost doubled, and complex runes began to densely appear on its blue scales.

At the same time, the emerald horn at the center of its snout grew to over three feet, emitting a layer of dim green radiance.

A few breaths later, the giant beast let out a loud roar, filled with a sense of wild joy.

Then the beast leaped up, its body rapidly shrinking, instantly transforming back into human form.

Qi Wu Yan, with a broad smile, walked over to Zhao Sheng and Kuimu Xiao, congratulating the two.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng and Kuimu Xiao also expressed their congratulations.

After this event, all three had significantly increased their strength, reaching the limits of their respective realms.

Of course, in comparison, Zhao Sheng gained the most benefits, as his realm was the highest and hardest to improve.

Feeling his strength progress so much, Qi Wu Yan couldn’t help but eagerly ask, "Which portal should we enter next?"

"As usual, it’s up to Taoist Qi to make the decision. What’s your opinion, Kuimu?"

Saying this, Zhao Sheng turned to look at Kuimu Xiao.

"I have no objections," Kuimu Xiao said, shaking his head with a smile.

"Good, auspicious is in the east! I still choose the portal to the east," Qi Wu Yan decisively pointed east.

The eastern portal was in the shape of a human head, with the three blood-red characters "Beast Path" written prominently on it.

...

The sky was high and clear, with a gentle wind blowing.

The mountains stretched continuously, rivers meandered, and both banks were covered with lush forests, full of flowers and plants. Occasionally, birds and beasts came to the riverbank to drink water, creating a harmonious scene.

As Zhao Sheng crossed the portal, he saw the verdant mountains and clear waters before him, teeming with life, completely beyond his expectations.

Sunlight penetrated through the clouds, casting light onto the earth, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance of grass and wood.

Zhao Sheng reached out to pick a red flower nearby, crushed it in his hand, and fragrant crimson juice flowed out.

"Is it really real?!" Zhao Sheng felt a great surprise, for the world before him seemed so real that he couldn’t tell what was true or false.

Qi Wu Yan was also shocked, waving his hand to topple a nearby tree, which fell to the ground, crushing a large area of flowers and plants.

A thick root flipped out of the ground, churning up the earth and startling countless snakes, insects, rats, and ants.

Zhao Sheng reached out, and a fleeing white rabbit was involuntarily lifted into the air, landing in front of him, ultimately suspended in mid-air.

A golden light swept over the white rabbit, scanning it repeatedly countless times, finally confirming it was just an ordinary rabbit ear.

With a solemn expression, Zhao Sheng released the white rabbit.

Once the rabbit landed, it immediately ran away in a panic, quickly disappearing into the grass and trees.

At this moment, Kuimu Xiao suddenly spoke: "Fellow Taoists, stop playing around; we have important matters to do. Who knows where the portal is?"

Hearing this, Zhao Sheng’s Will Field instantly expanded, covering nearly a thousand miles around.

"In the surrounding thousand miles, no portal found."

"I haven’t found anything either," Qi Wu Yan quickly responded.

In the next second, Zhao Sheng’s eyes flashed as he suddenly sensed, in a valley over eight hundred miles away, a portal appeared out of thin air, and from it emerged a person.

This person had a strange appearance, wearing black armor, holding a dragon-shaped treasure saber, and looked very tense.

Once this person entered this unfamiliar world, the portal disappeared from Zhao Sheng’s perception, vanishing into thin air.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng seemed deep in thought.

Perhaps... they were not the only ones who came to this world; there might be more Immortal Ruins Guests also arriving in this realm.
