Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1624: Chapter 874: The Greatest Secret of All Universes

After a small interlude, the Golden Crane Great Saint suddenly asked, "By the way, where is my Shuangling’s Remnant Soul?"

Zhao Sheng heard this and couldn’t help but feel puzzled, thinking, "This Thought Realm is the Great Saint’s territory, how could it not sense the whereabouts of the Shuangling’s Remnant Soul?"

While pondering, Zhao Sheng took out a gray-white small tower from his arms and said while displaying it, "Great Saint, please see, the remnant soul is sealed within this tower."

The eyes of the Golden Crane Great Saint suddenly widened, with the pupils’ golden light exploding, extremely dazzling.

"Huh? No, no, the writing on this... could it really be the Power of Reincarnation?" The more the Golden Crane Great Saint looked, the more shocked it became, unconsciously leaning forward, but its lower body still stuck firmly on the giant stone.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Sheng was both shocked and puzzled, suddenly realizing he might have discovered a huge secret.

The Golden Crane Great Saint... might not be able to leave that giant stone!

And did the Great Saint seem to have discovered something?

"Could it be...?!" Zhao Sheng’s thoughts raced, and suddenly his heart sank.

At this moment, the Golden Crane Great Saint suddenly urged, "Zhao Kid, come closer, let this saint take a good look."

Zhao Sheng only felt his scalp tingling, but he dared not defy the great saint’s will, so he had to take a few steps forward until he was within ten feet of the giant stone and stopped.

Staring at the three blood-red characters "seal" on the outer wall of the Nine Nether Tower, the Golden Crane Great Saint suddenly fell silent.

After over ten breaths, it suddenly spoke coldly, "Zhao Kid, do you have the Reincarnation Pen in your hand?"

Reincarnation Pen?!

Hearing this, Zhao Sheng was first stunned, then suddenly came to realize that the Great Saint was indeed speaking of that Life and Death Pen.

Admit, or flatly deny? This was a matter that decided his life or death!

However, on second thought, Zhao Sheng couldn’t help but show a bitter expression and nodded, admitting, "Great Saint has good eyesight! Indeed, I have obtained an extraordinarily magical broken pen. But whether it is the Reincarnation Pen you mentioned is still to be verified."

"So much nonsense! Just take it out, and let this saint take a look."

The Golden Crane Great Saint at this moment even set aside its affairs and showed concern about the Reincarnation Pen.

This left Zhao Sheng full of doubts, but he couldn’t directly ask.

After hesitating for a moment, he had to follow the Great Saint’s instructions and summoned the broken pen from the Purple Mansion Soul Sea.

But the moment the broken pen flew from his forehead, the whole world suddenly went silent, and then the earth suddenly began to shake violently, and the vast ocean surged with monstrous waves.

The originally clear sky quickly darkened, and in a blink, it spawned densely packed pitch-black "cracks."

Seeing the Thought Realm on the verge of collapse, the Golden Crane Great Saint suddenly grabbed the long braid behind its head and shouted violently at the white light at the braid’s end, "Hai!"

As soon as the words fell, the originally flickering white light suddenly brightened significantly and stabilized again.

At the same moment, the ground no longer shook, the vast ocean instantly calmed down, and the sky returned to its previous appearance.

So that’s how it is!

Zhao Sheng understood in his heart, already knowing that this white light was the very essence of the Thought Realm.

The Golden Crane Great Saint threw aside the long braid in its hand, suddenly propped its chin with its right hand, muttering to itself thoughtfully, "That one’s comment was indeed never wrong! I truly fulfilled that phrase: calamity arises, the ape extinguishes... neither life nor death, misfortune turned fortune!"

Finishing, the Golden Crane Great Saint shivered all over, staring intently at Zhao Sheng, and said solemnly, "Zhao Kid, you truly have great luck equal to heaven, to be recognized by the Reincarnation Pen as its master.

This saint neither knows nor wants to know how you did it. However, this saint suddenly changed his mind now."

Hearing this, Zhao Sheng’s face slightly changed, and his heart suddenly felt anxious.

The Golden Crane Great Saint, too lazy to beat around the bush, said directly, "This saint previously promised that if you brought the remnant soul back to the Thought Realm, I would teach you a few immortal skills.

However, this saint now decides not only to pass on all my life’s learning to you but also to propose a transaction?"

What?

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng was instantly overjoyed.

Through nine reincarnations, he had encountered countless opportunities, but only today’s opportunity was most defying!

Zhao Sheng forcibly suppressed his inner ecstasy and asked with utmost respect, "Great Saint’s favor is my supreme honor. If the Great Saint commands, I shall go all out, no need for the word transaction."

The Golden Crane Great Saint squinted slightly, deliberately teasing, "Haha, what if this saint asked you for the Reincarnation Pen?"

"This..." Zhao Sheng looked up at the Golden Crane Great Saint as he said this, hesitating.

"Haha, I was just joking with you earlier. Did you really take it seriously? Kid, your Daoist cultivation is too shallow."

The Golden Crane Great Saint suddenly patted its thigh, laughing back and forth, filled with endless joy.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng secretly sighed a breath of relief, and then he laughed awkwardly.

When the Golden Crane Great Saint had laughed enough, it then sat correctly, with an exceedingly serious expression, saying, "This saint wishes to forge a good relationship with you. In a while, this saint will wipe away all past memories of the remnant soul.

Then, this saint will give you the ’Purifying Soul.’ After you return to the Lower Realm, find a pregnant mother monkey and infuse the ’Purifying Soul’ into the unborn monkey fetus.

When the young monkey is born, this saint hopes you can personally guide it into the Dao and teach it the ’Heaven-Supporting One Qi Technique’ and the ’Desireful Size Immortal Skill.’

At this point, the Golden Crane Great Saint showed a worried look, suddenly sighing, "...It’s a pity this saint has forgotten so much, even the bloodline inheritance ’Taichu Undying Golden Body’ is mostly forgotten, otherwise..."

The Golden Crane Great Saint did not continue but instead changed the subject, suddenly pointing at the broken pen, and said seriously, "This saint also doesn’t need to hide it from you. Although this Reincarnation Pen is broken, it carries the greatest cause and effect of all Universes.
