Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1480: Chapter 800: Yun Qing Appears, Minister Elders_2

Xue Yunqing nodded gently, seemingly holding some unspoken concern, unwilling to mention the past.

White Qi Taoist nodded slightly, then skipped the topic, and continued, "This person has already ascended to Unification, so we cannot let him wander outside, nor can we let other Immortal Sects take him in. Yunqing Junior Sister, since you know this person, why not take charge and ensure this person joins the Taiyi Spirit Palace."

"Senior Brother, let me take this trip instead. Junior Sister’s cultivation has not yet recovered..." The chubby Great Han spoke solemnly and slowly.

Before he finished speaking, Xue Yunqing chuckled, "No need to trouble Bai Ji Senior Brother. This small matter can be handled by me."

The chubby Great Han laughed heartily upon hearing this, his eyes narrowing slightly.

White Qi Taoist saw, immediately nodded, entrusting this matter to Xue Yunqing.

...

Zhao Sheng was still unaware that a troublesome person was about to come knocking.

At this moment, he was sharing insights on opening up Grotto Heaven with Zhao Xuanjing, speaking enthusiastically, and even inviting Zhao Xuanjing into the recently developed Grotto Heaven.

The Grotto Heaven is named Wu Lei, and because it has been developed recently, the environment is extremely harsh, almost resembling an apocalyptic scene.

On the earth, volcanoes erupted in competition, rivers meandered, but dried up like soil; Water Vapor rose to the sky, transforming into a massive cloud of rain.

Heavy rain poured from the sky, the raindrops mixed with thick smoke, forming a sky of filthy black rain, pouring down to the ground.

However, before the rain could fall, it was vaporized by the high temperature, becoming a large amount of Water Vapor, rising back into the clouds.

The air in the Grotto Heaven was extremely filthy and thin, mortals couldn’t survive here. Only the areas near the edges of the Four Seas were slightly better, but still difficult for survival.

Zhao Sheng and Zhao Xuanjing stood on a cloud, slowly surveying the whole Grotto Heaven.

While observing the environment of the Grotto Heaven, Zhao Xuanjing pointed out to Zhao Sheng, revealing his insights completely.

Zhao Sheng nodded silently, connecting his Spirit with the Cave Heaven Law, and repairing the loopholes according to the other’s guidance.

Gradually, in the depths of the Four Seas, massive pillars of water rose to the sky, bringing immense sea water, merging into the clouds and transforming into more rain clouds.

The entire Grotto Heaven quickly started a downpour. The abundant Water Vapor absorbed too much heat, slowly decreasing the temperature of the Grotto Heaven, and cooling the land.

...

Two days later,

Two figures appeared out of thin air above Dragon Head Peak.

Zhao Sheng and Zhao Xuanjing stood in suspension, gazing into the distance.

"Second Brother, what are your plans for the future?" Zhao Xuanjing suddenly asked.

"I was originally a disciple of the Nine Questions Immortal Sect, having sworn an oath upon entering, forbidding me to join other Immortal Sects. So, Brother’s good intentions, Younger Brother acknowledges, but this need not be mentioned." Zhao Sheng shook his head and said slowly.

"Do you want to roam freely? Unfortunately, even if water wants to be still, the wind does not cease. If I am not mistaken. Someone will soon come looking for you? Can you guess which sect will visit first?" Zhao Xuanjing smiled.

Zhao Sheng suddenly looked towards the horizon and said faintly, "No need to guess, the person has already arrived!"

As the words fell, the Heavenly Vault suddenly revealed a sky full of radiance, forming a massive rainbow bridge stretching from the horizon to the front of the duo.

At this moment, a white lion appeared at the end of the rainbow bridge, charging towards this side, a plain-clothed woman riding on its back.

In the blink of an eye, the white lion landed not far from the two, the plain-clothed woman floated down, landing a few yards away, nodding to the duo.

Seeing the visitor’s appearance, Zhao Sheng was shocked, immediately wearing a solemn expression and bowing respectfully, "I pay my respects to Mr. Xue! Though it’s been hundreds of years, Mr.’s demeanor is unchanged, I am truly delighted."

Zhao Xuanjing’s eyes flashed, vaguely sensing the other’s unfathomable aura, his heart skipped a beat, and he bowed in respect as well, "I, Zhao Xianglong, pay respects to Mr. Xue."

Xue Yunqing carefully examined Zhao Sheng before speaking, "My cult name is Yunqing, young friend, don’t mistake me for someone else?"

Zhao Sheng felt a thud in his heart, forced himself to bow and greet again, "Yes, I was mistaken. I pay respects to Yunqing Venerable!"

As for Xue Susu, he dared not even mention her.

Zhao Xuanjing, more familiar with the secrets of this realm, hearing the words Yunqing Venerable, his expression was moved, hurriedly bowing again to pay respects anew.

Xue Yunqing wasn’t offended, nodded and said, "You must have guessed why I am here. I am here on behalf of Taiyi Spirit Palace, today I come to invite you to join the Spirit Palace."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng’s thoughts raced, instantaneously guessing that the news of his ascension to Unification was known by Taiyi Spirit Palace, they were here to recruit him.

He wasn’t surprised by this, given that Painting Saint and Tuo Immortal already knew about this and had informed Taiyi Spirit Palace, there was no surprise in that.

"To be frank, I have already pledged to the Nine Questions Immortal Sect within the Taisu Spiritual Realm, limited by my entrance oath, I cannot join another sect." He hesitated slightly, forcing himself to reject.

Unexpectedly, Xue Yunqing showed no sign of anger, instead, smiled and said, "It does not matter! Taiyi Spirit Palace has an honorary position of Minister Elders. Minister Elders are not considered members of the Spirit Palace. Young friend can take up the role of Minister Elder, naturally, it would not violate your entrance oath."

"This..." Zhao Sheng was effectively cornered, immediately faced with a dilemma.

Zhao Xuanjing seeing this, quickly signaled with a glance, indicating that he should agree first.

Zhao Sheng realized he couldn’t delay, so he bowed respectfully and smiled, "I am honored by the Venerable’s personal invitation, I am truly overwhelmed. In that case, I accept the position of Minister Elder. But what are the responsibilities and obligations of a Minister Elder?"

Xue Yunqing smiled, saying, "Minister Elder is a rather leisurely position, there are no regular assignments. However, the Spirit Palace will periodically issue special tasks, which require the Minister Elders to complete.

Of course, the rewards for these tasks are very generous. You can choose to accept them or not. But every ten thousand years, a Minister Elder must complete at least one special task."

Zhao Sheng nodded, thinking that the Taiyi Spirit Palace’s requirements for Minister Elders were indeed not stringent.

"Thank you for the Venerable’s advice, I am willing to take on the position of Minister Elder."

Xue Yunqing smiled faintly, casually taking out a Jade Pendant, tossing it over while saying, "This is the Guest Minister Jade Token, keep it safe."

Zhao Sheng grasped the Jade Token, his Divine Thought exploring it, instantly discovering it’s not only a Spiritual Treasure but also contains the Great Divine Power "Thousand Spirits Shadow Transformation."

It must be said, Taiyi Spirit Palace was formidable, even the mere Guest Minister Jade Token counted as a heavy treasure.

Xue Yunqing did not linger long, upon completing the task, quickly rode the white lion, and gracefully departed.

Zhao Sheng watched her departing figure, his expression contemplative.

...

Time flows like water, over ten years passed in a blink.

On this day, in the Spirit Beast Valley within the Wolong Mountain Range, spirit beasts roared while smoke and dust rose.

Large Spirit Boats flew in from all directions, landing within the valley, and a large group of spirit beasts were driven off the Spirit Boats, gathering in the valley’s animal field, forming a huge crowd.

At this time, in the eastern part of the valley, a "passage" several hundred measures in diameter appeared in mid-air, behind which are lush grasslands, with large dense woods growing further away.

Pa pa pa!

Beast Tamers vigorously slapped their Spirit Whips, the whip ends producing countless whip lights, striking the herds of beasts, with an imposing force.

Hundreds of spirit beasts such as tigers, leopards, rabbits, and deer, under the drive of Spirit Whips, obediently ran towards the passage, diving into the passage.

By noon, at least three thousand spirit beasts had entered that passage.

Approaching midday, multiple tunneling lights landed in the Spirit Beast Valley, many Zhao Clan Members revealed their forms, each excitedly flying into the passage.

Beyond the passage, a brand new world was revealed.

Here the sky is high and fresh, the air fragrant and rich, though the Spiritual Energy concentration was slightly thin.

The Zhao Clan Members had no time to pay attention to the surrounding environment, once inside the Grotto Heaven, they dispersed, each busy with their own tasks.

As time passed, thousands of various Spiritual Medicines and strange flowers were artificially planted.

The spirit beasts were also driven to escape in all directions.

Soon they, like those before them, will gradually adapt to the new environment, from now onward, reproducing and thriving.
