Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1714 - 924: Seizing the Remains, Freezing the Primordial Spirit

Five Elements Cave Heaven.

"This is how it is, but I don’t trust Lu Qing’s words. The saying ’non-our kind, their heart must be different’ applies here! Lu Qing must be hiding quite a bit of the truth, so we must be extremely cautious."

After Lu Qing bid farewell and left, Zhao Sheng immediately returned to the Five Elements Cave Heaven to report all the circumstances to his true self and confidently made the judgment.

"It is right not to trust, but with the oath in place, even if Lu Qing has little schemes, there’s no need for excessive precaution. According to him, the most dangerous moment... might be when the Gun God’s Remains transition from void to reality... Let the Five Zhas accompany you! With them there, no accidents will occur."

Upon hearing his true self say this, the avatar was overjoyed, as no one was more aware of the terrifying power of the Five Zhas.

Above the Cloud Sea, after a moment of joy, the avatar suddenly felt troubled: "True self, who knows where the second brother has gone with Huozha. If they return too late, won’t it ruin the grand plan."

Zhao Sheng’s true self raised his eyebrows and suddenly goaded him, "So what if Huozha is missing, do you not have the confidence to seize the Gun God’s Remains?"

"That’s not the case! I am full of confidence." The avatar knew perfectly well that the true self was merely trying to provoke him with words, yet he still patted his chest and declared confidently.

"That’s good then!"

Zhao Sheng’s true self nodded and then summoned Jin Zha, Tu Zha, and the other four Zhas, instructing them to accompany the avatar to Jixian Island.

Before departure, the true self still felt uneasy and handed over the Cold漓 Sword and Ten Thousand Beasts Treasure to the avatar for defense.

Needless to say, the Cold漓 Sword, the Ten Thousand Beasts Treasure is a True Immortal Device of unknown grade.

Since acquiring it, Zhao Sheng spent hundreds of years yet still hasn’t found a way to refine it, but he has figured out several secret techniques to temporarily wield it.

If truly faced with an enemy that cannot be resisted, the avatar can temporarily transform into a Demon God Realm Kui Niu to withstand and obstruct the calamity of death.

With a brief respite opportunity, the avatar can timely return to the cave mansion, avoiding inevitable death.

"Haha, with the Ten Thousand Beasts Treasure in hand, the Gun God’s Skeleton will certainly be easily obtained. I shall depart!"

Before finishing speaking, four streaks of flowing light abruptly disappeared into the avatar’s sleeves, and Zhao Sheng’s avatar disappeared without a trace in an instant.

...

Upon returning to Jixian Island, Zhao Sheng did not go around outside but chose to enter meditation in his cave mansion, awaiting the arrival of the sea disaster.

Time slowly passed, and the Fire Spirit Lu Qing visited several times, sharing information about another old monster arriving on the island.

Lu Qing obviously had a wide circle of friends, and nothing escaped its notice.

Through more than thirty Immortal Ruins days, Zhao Sheng learned from its words that at least three powerful "old monsters" above the Unification Realm had quietly arrived at Jixian Island.

Seven more Ruins days passed, and Zhao Sheng finally saw the awaited arrival.

The second avatar arrived "secretly" on the island with Huozha, hurriedly leaving after entrusting Huozha to him.

The meaning in his words was evident, the true self had created a stir recently, and he must hurry back to help.

Zhao Sheng was immensely curious about this, though annoyingly, the second brother knew all the inner details yet refused to inform him.

It made him consider returning to the cave heaven several times, but time had already run out.

On the third day after the second avatar "logged off," waves of tsunami sounds suddenly approached from afar, quickly spreading throughout the entire Jixian Island.

"Not good, the sea disaster is coming! Quickly return to the Lower Realm."

"Damn it, I’m so unlucky. Finally managed to come up, only to run into a sea disaster! Bad luck, bad luck!"

"Escape, escape! If you don’t run now, it’s death!"

"Hey hey, you stay put—"

"Damn it, trying to flee after taking my treasure? Go die!"

As the tsunami sounds intensified, various Immortal Ruins Markets on the island fell into chaos, with the cautious immediately packing up and logging off; the daring snatched someone else’s treasures before fleeing back to the Lower Realm; opportunistic robbers suddenly struck, killing nearby Immortal Ruins Guests, then taking all treasures and returning to the Lower Realm.

The vast majority of Immortal Ruins Guests chose to return to the Lower Realm to escape the disaster, although a few with high skills stayed behind.

Upon the sea disaster’s arrival, the island’s ice mass rapidly began to melt, causing countless treasures to surface, providing the best opportunity for plunder.

For existences like Zhao Sheng and Lu Qing above the Unification Realm, the island’s shabby possessions held no interest; they all had but one goal: the Gun God’s Remains.

After about a quarter of an hour, dramatic changes finally arrived.

In an instant, the layer of invisible barrier above Jixian Island suddenly dissipated, and endless black water poured down, as if the entire sky collapsed in an instant.

Roaring...

Billions of tons of black water surged downward, crashing onto the thousands-of-mile radius of Jixian Island, erupting a deafening roar.

Countless icebergs were broken by the black water, and the entire island was quickly submerged by it.

With a buzz, a layer of five-colored brilliant Will Barrier suddenly emerged around Zhao Sheng.

The Five-Colored Barrier, with a diameter of thirty to forty feet, easily blocked the black water outside.

Zhao Sheng lifted his head to survey his surroundings, finding only pitch blackness in view.

The surrounding black water was extremely eerie, capable of absorbing all light.

The next moment, his mind stirred slightly, and Will Heart Light swiftly swept out, covering the space of several dozen miles in no time.

The peculiar properties of the black water strongly hindered the expansion of will fluctuations, greatly reducing the perception range.

Moreover, the consumption speed of the Will Heart Light was tens of times faster than before.

Zhao Sheng had long been aware that black water would devour Will Heart Light, so he wasn’t surprised at all.
