Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1578: Chapter 852: Two Ancestors Bestow Talismans (Part 2)

"Thank you, Three Ancestors, for your guidance. This junior has learned a lesson." Zhao Sheng heard the words and immediately bowed in respect.

Zhao Dashan’s eyes gleamed with humor, and suddenly changed the subject: "This matter is concluded. There are some people you should meet. Follow me."

After speaking, Zhao Dashan summoned a cloud of Qingyun, which carried the two of them flying out of the Ancestor Hall.

Soon, a cloud of Qingyun ascended into the Cloud Sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

...

In the depths of the vast ocean in the northeast of Ancestral Divine Land, there lies a magnificent and resplendent Crystal Palace.

The palace covers an enormous area, with every brick and tile built from Top-grade Spirit Stones, adorned with jade railings and carvings everywhere, sparkling with a radiant glow, resembling an Immortal Realm mansion, quite unlike the human world.

Inside the Crystal Hall, a group of Zhao Family cultivators full of spirit and extraordinary demeanor were seated, discussing fervently.

A female cultivator with blue hair and red eyes, as fair as jade, curiously inquired, "Dear brothers, do you know why the Three Ancestors asked us to search for the Immortal Ruins Guest from the Taiching Spirit Realm?"

The cultivators displayed various expressions upon hearing this, some shaking their heads silently, some whispering mysteriously, some showing curiosity, and naturally, some showing disdain.

Seeing no response, a shriveled and wrinkled elder slowly spoke up: "The old man once saw a Nine Nether Secret Scroll in the Secret Pavilion. The secret scroll mentioned the Taiching Spirit Realm. This realm is located in the eastern part of the Ru Hong Star Domain, separated by billions of Constant Years from our Star Domain, inaccessible to anyone but the Tribulation Crossing Venerables.

The secret scroll also vaguely mentioned that the Taiching Spirit Realm is entangled with a major secret. According to the Ancient Scrolls, there were three great wishes left by the Ancient Immortals. The last wish among them is related to this Taiching Spirit Realm."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Chonghe, wearing a Purple Gold Crown, suddenly recalled an instance where his great-grandfather casually mentioned a secret.

The family history records that the Nine Nether Tower beneath Dragon Claw Peak was built by the "Ancestor."

And the "Ancestor" is precisely his direct forebear.

Previously, his great-grandfather once mentioned that he didn’t have the luck of the Ancestor and lacked the profound fortune of Second Ancestor Hongyun, always regretting not being able to reach the summit of the Nine Nether Tower.

Now it seems that the Taiching Spirit Realm is undoubtedly connected to the Nine Nether Tower.

Moreover... Zhao Chonghe’s heart skipped as he inexplicably thought of the family’s supreme inheritance, "Infinite Heaven Traveling Skill."

Second Ancestor had entered the Nine Nether Tower and obtained the "Infinite Heaven Traveling Skill" Immortal Law from within.

Thus, it appears that the Second Ancestor must have fulfilled one of the great wishes of that "Immortal" to be bestowed the Immortal Law.

At this moment, another elder with a youthful appearance and crane-like hair urgently urged, "Zhao Jincheng, why are you being so secretive? Quickly tell us, what are the three great wishes left by the Ancient Immortal!"

This person belongs to the Ke generation, full name Zhao Ke’en, ranked in the top ten among the cultivators, with his cultivation around the sixth and seventh layers of the Divinity Transformation.

He, Zhao Jincheng, Zhao Chonghe, and others are all Divinity Transformation True Monarchs, therefore generally addressing each other by name, regardless of generational seniority.

This is also a prevailing rule in the Taiyi Spirit Realm: from ancient times, the strong are revered in the Cultivation World, and other formalities are often irrelevant.

The shriveled elder Zhao Jincheng wasn’t offended, slowly shook his head, and sighed: "The Ancient Scroll did not record it, and this old man doesn’t know what the three great wishes are. Perhaps only the Ancestors, the Three Integration Ancestors, and a few others know the details."

Zhao Chonghe heard this, turned to a young Daoist with rosy lips and white teeth, a face like a lotus, and kindly asked: "Elder Hua, do you know?"

The young Daoist was named Zhao Quanhua, who not only had the highest generational rank among the cultivators but also had cultivation beyond Returning to Void.

From ancient times, the Zhao Family’s generational ranks descend as: "Feng Xian Ming Ren Sect, Quanzhen Du Taihe. The Classic of Sincerity and Jade Declaration, Zhongzheng Chang Jinke. Essence of the Mystic Path, Gao Hongding Daluo, Moral Performance... Eternal Sacred Sound, reopens heaven and earth!"

Zhao Quanhua is seven to eight generations higher than other Immortal Ruins Guests, therefore being highly respected, having great influence among more than a hundred Immortal Ruins Guests, second only to the Three Ancestors.

The young Daoist Zhao Quanhua caressed a Jade Ruyi and softly spoke: "Chonghe, you are asking the wrong person. You should ask the Three Ancestors about this. He knows the most."

Zhao Chonghe frowned, soon regaining composure.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a magnificent robe with pointy ears and a monkey-like face suddenly laughed, "Heh, no matter how it is, we’ve hit a big jackpot this time. You know, the Three Ancestors personally promised that all ’sacrifices’ will be borne by the family. Wouldn’t you say that the more good things like this, the better!"

Upon hearing this, the cultivators turned and looked, many showing disdain, others nodding in agreement.

The middle-aged man in a magnificent robe knew he wasn’t popular; however, he has always been accustomed to his own ways and didn’t care about others’ opinions.

"Chonghe, it’s boring to wait here idly. Why don’t you ask the Three Ancestors when he will actually come?" said the middle-aged man in a magnificent robe, not forgetting to tease Zhao Chonghe.

Despite Zhao Chonghe’s special status, in the eyes of other Immortal Ruins Guests, it wasn’t particularly remarkable.

Which one of them wasn’t a phoenix among humans, and which one didn’t hold a very special and transcendent position within their family?

Zhao Chonghe showed displeasure but decided not to lower himself to argue with this person, because this person was "special" among the special.

Although over a hundred Immortal Ruins Guests were seated in the hall, most could only access one "Ruins Market," with merely a few able to enter multiple "Ruins Markets."

The middle-aged man in a magnificent robe was among the few, as was Zhao Chonghe.
