Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1482: Chapter 801: Two Great Avatars (Part 2)

Zhao Sheng stood on the clouds, overlooking the earth below, and saw the Thunder Roar Lion incarnation meticulously sorting out the Earth Veins and Spirit Veins. He couldn’t help but nod slightly in satisfaction.

In the next moment, he extended a finger, gently cutting through the void before him, and a pitch-black crack over a meter long instantly appeared.

Zhao Sheng stepped into the crack, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived outside the Grotto Heaven. As far as the eye could see, the void remained incredibly dark and silent.

A thought flashed by, and his Divine Thought expanded in all directions, covering a space-time of tens of thousands of miles in an instant.

At this time, Zhao Sheng’s lips curled up, his figure flashed, and he teleported to a location 27,000 miles away, landing on an enormous, mountain-sized fragmented skeleton.

In the next second, the light wheel of the Grotto Heaven manifested and swiftly expanded countless times, transforming into an "entrance" with a diameter of tens of thousands of meters, its edges glowing brilliantly in five colors.

At this moment, the entrance suddenly generated an infinite suction force, slowly pulling the giant beast’s skeleton, absorbing it bit by bit into the Grotto Heaven.

Bang!

The giant beast’s skeleton fell from the sky, crashing heavily into the earth, forming a meteor crater that was thousands of meters deep.

A flash of light, and Zhao Xi Hou, with the broad-nosed lion face, appeared out of thin air above the meteor crater, pressing his hands downward.

Immediately, the surrounding earth and rocks collapsed into the pit, quickly filling it in.

Then the ground squirmed, becoming incredibly smooth, leaving no trace of its previous existence.

Meanwhile, deep beneath the earth, the giant beast’s skeleton was rapidly disassembled by an invisible force, and threads of Tao Spirit Mechanism extracted from the scattered bones quickly merged into the Grotto Heaven.

Simultaneously, the bones transformed into various top-grade jade stones, sinking into the Spirit Vein, becoming countless Top-grade Spirit Stones after a thousand years.

...

Zhao Sheng expanded his Divine Thought to the extreme, continuously searching throughout the Divine Palace Heaven.

With the All Sky Star Map in hand, he not only wouldn’t trigger the Star Battle Formation but could also quickly locate one after another of past relics.

Unfortunately, most relics had long been visited by numerous Great Ability cultivators, almost devoid of any useful treasure.

Of course, these relics weren’t entirely useless; some deserted island relics could be used to fill the land of the Grotto Heaven, while some void lakes could be used for ocean filling.

Zhao Sheng busied himself for seven or eight years, throwing over ten relics into the Grotto Heaven, finally filling the Five Thunders Cave Heaven to a satisfactory level.

By now, the continent within the Grotto Heaven stretched seven or eight thousand miles, and the sea area exceeded sixteen thousand miles. The total area of the Grotto Heaven approached twenty-four thousand miles.

Compared to other Fellow Daoists who had just advanced to the Unification Realm, Zhao Sheng’s foundation was much deeper. The Five Thunders Cave Heaven he developed was at least twice as large as others. Most of them hadn’t even developed a Grotto Heaven larger than ten thousand miles in the beginning.

...

Time flies, and forty years passed in a flash.

One day, at a certain place in Divine Palace Heaven, a figure appeared out of thin air.

Zhao Sheng took out the All Sky Star Map, quickly scanning the twinkling starry "light points," finally stopping at a radiant blue light point.

His Divine Thought probed into it, and the blue light rapidly expanded countless times, revealing an azure gleaming, boundless lake. The lake floated in the depths of vast void, with antique waterside and pavilion buildings scattered across its surface.

Immortal Qi Lake!

This was a name known only at the Unification Realm level, and also the place Zhao Sheng intended to visit.

The environment of Immortal Qi Lake was unique; it’s a public place for Unification Realm Great Power cultivators to exchange ideas and, of course, it’s the best venue for transactions.

Zhao Sheng put away the All Sky Star Map and once again activated Space-Time Teleportation, disappearing into thin air.

After two consecutive teleports, Zhao Sheng had already arrived in the upper sky above an infinite lake.

He had reached the Immortal Qi Lake!

At that moment, a crack suddenly opened in the void, and an old man with white hair and a crane robe walked out.

This man was born with a peculiar appearance, with a vertical pupil between his brows, the iris emerald green like jade, resembling the finest jade.

The crane robe elder glanced at Zhao Sheng, noticed his broad-nosed lion face, his golden hair fluttering, and his overwhelming wild aura.

Throughout history, once cultivators advanced to Unification, most stayed in their Grotto Heaven, while those who roamed outside were incarnations.

Zhao Sheng was no exception, currently using the incarnation of the Ancient Thunder Roar Lion.

The crane robe elder suddenly laughed heartily, "Haha, this Taoist looks unfamiliar, is this your first time at Immortal Qi Lake?"

Zhao Sheng nodded, casually taking out the Guest Minister Jade Token from Taiyi Spirit Palace, and smiled, "Indeed. I’ve long heard of Immortal Qi Lake’s reputation, but today is my first visit."

The elder’s eyes scanned the Guest Minister Jade Token, his smile deepened instantly, "So, Taoist is actually a Guest Minister Elder from Taiyi Spirit Palace, my apologies! I’m Geng Chen, may I know how to address you?"

Zhao Sheng cupped his hands, "I am but a wanderer from Wolong Mountain. You may call me Tianqiong Wanderer."

The crane robe elder laughed, "So it’s Tianqiong Taoist. The Hundred Immortals Conference is about to begin. Come with me quickly."

With that, he tore open another opening, inside which was a very spacious and luxurious hall.

The crane robe elder stepped inside, Zhao Sheng’s eyes flashed, and he followed closely.

Upon entering, Zhao Sheng looked around; the floor, walls, and even the ceiling were all built with Top-grade Spirit Stones, their surface shimmering with flowing light, engraved with intricate Tao True Texts.

Within the hall, scattered all around were Magic Platforms radiating resplendent light, seemingly not far apart.

In reality, the gaps between the Magic Platforms were folded countless times by some Great Ability using Great Divine Power.

If fully unfolded, the distances between them stretched thousands upon thousands of miles.

"Tianqiong Taoist, please sit wherever you like. I’m afraid I must excuse myself for now," the crane robe elder said politely, then quickly left.

Zhao Sheng didn’t mind, once again scanning around, soon selecting an empty Magic Platform, and gracefully taking his seat.

By now, other Unification Realm Great Powers had also noticed him, a stranger among them, casting various glances his way.

Some friendly Great Powers quickly sent a Divine Thought, probing into his identity.

In the outside world, one’s identity is self-bestowed!

True identities naturally can’t be revealed, but false identities need not be concealed.

Zhao Sheng quickly communicated with other Unification Fellow Daoists, claiming to come from Taisu Spiritual Realm and currently serving as a Guest Minister Elder in Taiyi Spirit Realm.

With the Guest Minister Jade Token as proof, other Great Powers naturally had no reason to doubt his origin.

...

"Tianqiong Taoist, do you really have the legendary Weak Water? I want to exchange for some. Name your price!" A kind-eyed old monk suddenly transmitted.

Zhao Sheng looked up, nodded slightly, "What does Master Gu Xiang want to trade for?"

As he spoke, he flicked his fingers, and a drop of water shot forth, passing through tens of meters of space, landing in the old monk’s hand.

Old Monk Gu Xiang grasped the water drop, his eyes filled with Divine Light gleamed brightly, immediately transmitting, "I have the Ten Directions Cave Heaven Jade, several Principle Crystals. Moreover, there’s a batch of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Whatever Tianqiong Taoist desires, just ask. I need Weak Water, as much as possible."

Zhao Sheng’s eyes lit up, decisively transmitting back, "I only want Pocket World Jade and Principle Crystals, likewise the more the better. One portion of Weak Water for the same volume of Pocket World Jade. A hundred Principle Crystals!"

To Unification Realm Great Powers, Pocket World Jade and Principle Crystals are solid currencies. Just because their need for these two types of Treasures is unlimited.

Old Monk Gu Xiang willingly agreed without bargaining.

In the outside world, one’s identity is self-bestowed!

True identities naturally can’t be revealed, but false identities need not be concealed.

Zhao Sheng quickly communicated with other Unification Fellow Daoists, claiming to come from Taisu Spiritual Realm and currently serving as a Guest Minister Elder in Taiyi Spirit Realm.
