Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1515: Chapter 820: Heavenly Rift Valley Lizard Hunt

Amidst the deep chill of winter, goose feather-sized snowflakes fluttered down, the earth lay desolate, the Gang Wind blew fiercely, and ice and snow stretched endlessly.

Above the earth, in the sky at a thousand feet high, six giant silver-white ships formed the shape of a character "品", flying arduously in the vast, snowy expanse.

At this moment, within the foremost giant silver-white ship, the top-level cabin presented an extraordinary scene.

The cabin floor revealed a vivid, greatly reduced model of the world. Mountains, rivers, plains, canyons, and even the boundless Barbaric Ancient Forest were all meticulously displayed before everyone’s eyes.

Zhao Chongnan stood in the center of this miniature world, pointing to a narrow great rift valley within, and spoke eloquently: "This canyon is the Heavenly Rift Valley I’ve mentioned before. It spans more than four thousand miles and contains abundant underground mineral deposits, including Mystic Iron, Wind Grinding Copper, Gen Gold, among other Five Elements Essence. At the deepest part of the valley, there’s the Three Yin Evil Acupoints. This acupoint is a rare natural Necromancy Land in the domain... In summary, the Heavenly Rift Valley is very suitable for the three families to establish their base. This is why I specifically chose it."

At this moment, in the cabin, not only were there the Nascent Soul Ancestors of both the Zhao and He families, but also Zhao Yongxian, Master Ming Yue, Zhao Sheng, He Chong, Wei Shu, and other Golden Core Masters.

The He Family Ancestor, with a grave expression, took a few steps to the center of the map and looked down at the long and deep earth rift canyon, pondering in silence.

Lord Zhao walked forward and said with a cheerful tone: "Brother He, what do you think?"

The He Family Ancestor looked at the terrain surrounding the rift valley and suddenly pointed to a giant gap at the southern end of the valley, speaking solemnly: "This place is suitable for a city. How about leaving it to the He Family to handle?"

"No rush, Brother! It’s too early for city building. At the very least, we should wait until the three families join forces to clear all surrounding outcasts before discussing other matters," Lord Zhao said with a smiling face.

Zhao Chongnan tapped a spot in the rift valley with his toe and said with a smile, "The Ancestor’s words are very true. Although the area surrounding the Heavenly Rift Valley isn’t an unusually dense Spiritual Energy region, the cultivation resources here are numerous and rich enough for our three families to consume for thousands of years. The most important thing for us now is to establish a firm foothold here as quickly as possible, to avoid reprimands from the superiors."

The He Family Ancestor looked at the place Zhao tapped and pondered: "Isn’t that the location of the Three Yin Evil Acupoints? Building a base there... that works!"

Lord Zhao and Zhao Chongnan exchanged a smile and once again discussed with the He Family Ancestor the various details of establishing a base.

The Three Extremes Zhao Family is renowned in the world for their mastery of Beast Taming, Corpse Refining, and Sword Control, with Corpse Refining being the foremost among the Three Extremes.

It is said that the Zhao Family’s path of Corpse Refining is profoundly mysterious, inherited from the lineage of the Corpse Resurrection Immortal of the Spirit-controlling Immortal Sect.

Though, in Zhao Sheng’s view, the Zhao Family’s methods of Corpse Refining are rather simplistic, merely a superficial understanding.

Yet to the He and Wei Families, this superficial understanding is enough to make them envious to the core.

Zhao Yongxian stood last among the group of Golden Cores and secretly communicated with Zhao Sheng using Divine Sense: "Brother Shaoling, once we reach the place, you must lend your elder brother a hand. The family has brought both the clan-protecting Great Array and the Hidden Killing Mysterious Array here. This array is of the Fourth-rank, and it’s absolutely impossible for me to set it up by myself, so, Brother, you’ll need to contribute your efforts."

Zhao Sheng’s eyes flickered as he replied through Divine Sense: "Brother Xian, rest assured. As I am a Guest Elder, it’s naturally my duty."

"Haha, I knew you’d be considerate, Brother! Once the Great Array is set up, I will definitely report the matter to the Ancestor. The Zhao Family will not treat you unfairly,"

Zhao Yongxian was well aware that this Guest Elder of the family had an extraordinary background, certainly a high-level cultivator who had seized a body, which is why he showed great respect and dared not slight him in the least.

Soon after, a voice suddenly interrupted the duo’s exchange.

"Yongxian, come here."

Upon hearing the Ancestor’s call, Zhao Yongxian did not dare to delay, immediately stepped forward through the crowd, and approached the two Ancestors.

Zhao Chongnan cast several strands of spirit light towards the Projection Pearl suspended in mid-air.

The Projection Pearl radiated brilliance, casting large patches of light. The scene in the cabin underwent a significant change.

The Heavenly Rift Valley magnified again and again, gradually peering deep into the valley, revealing jagged cliff walls on both sides, turning increasingly dark below, with chilling winds howling in the surroundings. Numerous large nests were spotted perched on the cliff walls on either side.

Giant winged lizards soared and wandered wantonly in the depths of the rift valley, occasionally swooping into the darkness below, snatching up thick black pythons seven to eight yards long, and viciously smashing them against the cliff to their death.

Zhao Chongnan glanced at Zhao Yongxian and continued to introduce: "Look here, these Flying Giant Lizards are currently our greatest adversaries. They are the overlords of this Heavenly Rift Valley, with adult specimens generally possessing power above the Second Order. Some giant lizard leaders have battle power at the Golden Core Level. As for whether there are any Nascent Soul level Demon Kings, the information does not show, but we suspect there might be. Yongxian, your task is significant, and you must arrange... "

While everyone’s attention was drawn to the overlord species of the Heavenly Rift Valley, Zhao Sheng’s heart stirred as he subconsciously felt a burning gaze falling upon him.

Without needing to look, he knew exactly who the owner of that gaze was.

Master Ming Yue, heavily made-up and with skin as white and tender as a baby’s, wore a pink Daoist robe. Her peach blossom eyes were filled with affection, her gaze relentlessly focused on Zhao Sheng’s handsome face.

Who could have imagined that this Gold Core Master with an androgynous aura was once a spirited and robust man?

Zhao Sheng felt uneasy, frowning slightly, his Divine Sense suddenly condensed into an invisible fine needle that pierced like lightning into Master Ming Yue’s forehead.

Master Ming Yue suddenly groaned in pain, blood flowed from between her brows, running down her nose, quickly ruining her make-up.

The others were startled by the sudden change and turned their gaze over.
