Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1633: Chapter 878: Spiritual Treasure True Form Tribulation (Part 2)

Zhao Sheng smiled gently, without revealing the "silent duel" between the two, and continued to chat casually with them.

After an hour, Zhao Chongjing was no longer nervous and gradually felt admiration for the First Daoist, realizing his own inferiority.

This was because the First Daoist’s realm was incredibly profound, pointing out various omissions in his cultivation with just a few words and guiding his future path.

Not only Zhao Chongjing, but Zhao Tianyi also benefited greatly, advancing his own Daoist practice once again.

After a while, noticing the Daoist’s interest had waned, Zhao Tianyi tactfully took out a Sumeru Ring and pushed it in front of the Daoist.

"My lord, these are the incense fire divine statues recently collected, a total of two thousand eight hundred and thirty-two. Please have a look."

"Oh?" Zhao Sheng’s eyes flickered as he immediately sent a wisp of Divine Thought into it.

After one breath, a smile appeared on his face as he praised, "Not bad! Master Yi is indeed considerate!"

Just one compliment caused Zhao Tianyi to be overjoyed and he couldn’t help but humbly express his gratitude repeatedly.

Seeing the situation, Zhao Chongjing, unwilling to be outdone, took out three dusty pouches from his chest and respectfully placed them before the Daoist, respectfully saying, "My lord, ten thousand Five Elements Law Crystals and three thousand pieces of Five Elements Wondrous Objects, all here without missing a single one."

Zhao Sheng nodded slightly, once again releasing his Divine Thought to inspect the treasures in the pouches.

Indeed, as he said, the crystals were piled into five small mountains, and the wondrous objects of the Five Elements were sorted into more than seventy piles according to their attributes and grades.

At this moment, Zhao Tianyi could hardly contain his inner shock, almost dumbfounded with amazement.

Even though Zhao Chongjing spoke lightly, in fact, he almost emptied the Wanbao Hall to gather the items Zhao Sheng needed.

The Ten Lands Zhao Clan indeed had a vast family estate, but the daily consumption was immensely enormous due to the large number of family members.

Especially as Zhao Sheng specified only the "Five Elements" Law Crystals and wondrous objects, refusing items of other attributes.

This made Zhao Chongjing feel even more pressured, but fortunately, with the issue of the Heaven Pillar Order, everyone in the Zhao family complied without question.

By mobilizing the entire clan, Zhao Chongjing managed to complete the First Daoist’s "Jun Order" in just a few short days.

Zhao Sheng also knew the difficulty of this task, so he spent about an hour giving guidance, which was also a different kind of reward.

"Come, have some tea!" Zhao Sheng waved his sleeve to collect the Sumeru Ring and the Pocket, then picked up the teapot to pour tea for the two.

Zhao Tianyi and Zhao Chongjing, both astute individuals, immediately rose to take their leave.

Zhao Sheng smiled gently, setting down the teapot and saying, "In that case, I won’t keep you any longer. Oh, recently a few superior cultivation methods have been added to the Scripture Pavilion. If you have the time, do go and take a look."

He looked at Zhao Chongjing with a smile, "Master Jing, you excel in Beast Taming and Spiritual Plants. Why not peruse the ’Ten Thousand Demons Return Tribulation Scripture’ in the Pavilion? It should provide quite some inspiration."

Then he looked at Zhao Tianyi and suggested, "Master Yi, being an Acquired Geng Metal Spirit Body, the ’Golden Light Ten Thousand Soldiers Technique’ is very suitable for you. It would be best for you to switch to this technique, as there is hope to open a Grotto Heaven in the future."

"By the way, should the Pavilion Master deny you access, tell him it was my permission, and he will surely let you in."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianyi’s eyes gleamed with excitement, and he deeply bowed, repeatedly thanking the Daoist for his guidance.

Zhao Chongjing, not to be outdone, also bowed deeply.

Both, being prominent Hall Masters among the Ten Hall Masters, could almost freely traverse the Scripture Pavilion, except for the top three layers.

This was because those layers housed the most profound and precious cultivation technique inheritances of the Ten Lands Zhao Clan.

It was evident that the two cultivation techniques mentioned by the Daoist were precisely stored in those top three layers.

Although Zhao Chongjing and Zhao Tianyi had never heard of these techniques, they knew they must be extraordinarily valuable.

Both decided that once they left Hualong Island, they would head to the Scripture Pavilion as quickly as possible to witness the true forms of the techniques.

At this moment, the hearts of Zhao Chongjing and Zhao Tianyi were ablaze, and they quickly once again bade farewell.

Zhao Sheng did not retain them any longer, allowing them to leave on their own.

Once the two had departed the island, Zhao Sheng smiled gently and suddenly, five treasure lights flew out of his body, instantly transforming into five ancient and grand treasure mirrors.

Zhao Sheng stood tall, stepping into the Central Earth Mirror with a single leap.

Moments later, he emerged from the Thick Earth Mirror and then flew into the Southern Golden Light Mirror.

For the next half day, Zhao Sheng traversed the Mirror Realm within each of the five major mirrors, burying half of the Law Crystals and half of the Five Elements Wondrous Objects within the Spiritual Core Nodes of each Mirror Realm.

As the Five Directions Treasure Mirrors gradually absorbed the power of the crystals and wondrous objects, their power and spiritual nature rapidly increased, swiftly approaching a critical transformation point.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

...

In a remote star system of the Eastern Star Domain, there was a Constant Sand World known as the Long River Realm.

On this day, the Long River Realm was suddenly covered with tribulation clouds, an indescribable terrifying aura swiftly enveloping most of the Constant Sand World.

Just as all beings in this realm felt disaster was imminent and fell into despair, the tribulation clouds enveloping most of the world inexplicably vanished.

The appearance of the tribulation clouds was mysterious, and their disappearance even more so, leaving countless cultivators bewildered. Soon after, the three Divinity Transformation True Monarchs of Long River Realm gathered together, but even after discussing, they still couldn’t figure out the cause of the previous heavenly tribulation phenomenon.

Thus, this matter became an eternal enigma, passed down for nearly ten thousand years in the Long River Realm.

The billions of beings in the Long River Realm would never know that the emergence of the tribulation clouds was due to a certain person.

Zhao Sheng used the Burial Immortal Ruins as a springboard to traverse to the Long River Realm, but after alerting the local Heavenly Dao, he immediately broke into the Dark Sky, keeping a distance.

However, the Dark Sky was not his final destination.

...

The Dark Sky was chaotic and hazy, with endless space-time storms perpetually "raging."

At the center of one of these storm eyes, brilliance surged around Zhao Sheng, his body visibly expanding rapidly, transforming into a giant spirit dozens of feet tall in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, the giant spirit shrunk dramatically, soon returning to normal size, yet at this point, his strength had skyrocketed dozens of times.

Zhao Sheng’s eyes shone like stars, slowly surveying the surroundings, clearly "seeing" another vast omnipresent world emerging in the shadows of the Dark Sky.

That is... Divine Palace Heaven!

Zhao Sheng raised his right hand, flames igniting fiercely between his five fingers, and with fingers together as a palm, he gently "sliced" the void in front of him.

Silently and without notice, a "rift" opened in the void.

In a flash, Zhao Sheng passed through the rift, entering Divine Palace Heaven.

Compared to the Taiyi Spirit Realm over there, the space-time here was more dark and desolate, with almost no Tao Spirit Mechanism, and even the Mystic Crystal Origin Qi was very thin.

But to Zhao Sheng, this place was a very suitable location for crossing tribulation.

Make no mistake, the one undergoing the tribulation was not him, but the Five Directions Cave Heaven Mirror.

With a thought, the five-sided treasure mirror swam out of Zhao Sheng’s body like fish.

They chased and played with each other, gradually blooming with brilliant radiance, their spiritual natures connecting, merging Taoist Forbidden, successfully forming the Yin Yang Five Elements Array Realm.

Rumble, rumble...

The silent desolation of Divine Palace Heaven suddenly erupted with deafening thunder, boundless multi-colored tribulation clouds materializing out of thin air, covering an area of a million miles in no time.

The tribulation clouds billowed, innumerable Thunder Dragons and Electric Flood Dragons coalescing and traveling through the cloud layers, radiating formidable majesty.

The Five Directions Treasure Mirrors, unafraid of the heavenly tribulation, emitted bursts of hums,
