Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1722 - 923: Star Lord, New Main Line of the Zhao Family, Shouxin Hall Grand Event (Part 2)

Zhao Sheng opened his eyes, pondered for a moment, and nodded, "Very well! This time when you go to the Shouxin Hall, try to trade as many Principle Crystals and Cave Heaven Marrow Jade as possible."

The White Eyebrow Old Daoist mused, "A hundred and twenty thousand Five Element Principle Crystals should be enough. After all, we’re only short by seventy to eighty thousand miles!"

This White Eyebrow Old Daoist was precisely the third avatar nurtured by Zhao Sheng.

Compared to the previous two avatars, the old Daoist was a master of the Hundred Skills of Immortal Cultivation and had reached the Peak of Integration Realm in strength.

Nearly a millennium later, today, the Five Elements Cave Heaven had rapidly expanded from a diameter of six hundred thousand miles to over nine hundred and forty thousand miles.

At the same time, Zhao Sheng also cultivated the Fire Extinguishing Immortal Technique to the entry-level, and now began the task of expanding his Lifebound Cave Heaven to a diameter of one million miles in one breath.

Now, he urgently needed a large number of Five Elements Principle Crystals and Cave Heaven Marrow Jade.

Therefore, this Shouxin Hall event must not be missed!

"We should plan for the long haul! On this trip, you may take that hundred-zhang-long God Gun’s Skeleton, Fire Extinguishing Immortal Technique, Longevity Pill... the fragments of the Supreme Yin Talisman Scripture among others. If it’s still not enough, you can also trade the Infinite Heaven Traveling Skill."

Upon hearing this, the White Eyebrow Old Daoist hastily waved his hand, saying, "That’s enough, enough! Your offers are too generous, aren’t you afraid other Immortal Ruins Guests might conspire against you?"

"I’m not afraid," Zhao Sheng said lightly.

"Oh well, I worry too much. Your divine skills are unparalleled; I’m more than aware."

With that, the White Eyebrow Old Daoist shook his head, then transformed into a tunneling light and plunged into the East Sea, disappearing without a trace.

...

The Burial Immortal Ruins, Shouxin Hall.

The cloud qi steamed upwards, the sky was azure, and below, mountains were steep, a large number of old buildings spread across the valleys, vaguely forming three to four building clusters.

In the center of the valley, there was a workshop; seven or eight dilapidated streets spread out along the valley floor. The workshop was bustling with people, and many peculiarly shaped Immortal Ruins Guests walked along the streets, occasionally entering shops by the roadside.

On the north-south main street, a White Eyebrow Old Daoist with the manner of an immortal was walking leisurely, accompanied by a handsome young Daoist in a green Daoist robe.

The young Daoist was looking around curiously and expectantly as he walked.

"Master, look over there, the shop is very lively; let’s go take a look," Mu Zha suddenly tugged on the old Daoist’s sleeve, pointing excitedly at a three-story stone pavilion four or five zhang away.

Zhao Sheng raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze swept over the stone pavilion, and his Will Heart Light simultaneously spread out, quietly enveloping the entire workshop.

After one breath, Zhao Sheng patted Mu Zha’s head and suddenly transmitted a large amount of information to him.

Mu Zha’s eyes focused, and he then nodded excitedly, "Rest assured, Master, I promise not to cause trouble and to exchange for the items you need."

The White Eyebrow Old Daoist gave him a push and said, "Go! We’ll meet here again after the event ends."

Mu Zha agreed and then ran joyfully towards the three-story stone pavilion.

Zhao Sheng smiled at the sight, and his figure suddenly vanished into thin air.

In no time, Zhao Sheng appeared inside the Shouxin Hall.

This time, he arrived a bit early, and out of nearly a hundred Magic Platforms in the hall, only nine were occupied.

Zhao Sheng chose a Magic Platform near the center, sat down, and began meditation, waiting for others to arrive.

But before long, a wave of will quietly touched his Heart Light Barrier.

Zhao Sheng did not open his eyes, instead directly communicating with the other using Invisible Heart Light.

As time passed, more and more veteran Immortal Ruins Guests arrived, gradually filling the seats in the Shouxin Hall.

Zhao Sheng soon spotted "old friends" from last time, Jiang Qianyuan of the Ancient Witch Clan, and also that... Mo Li Jueye.

However, this time he changed his appearance slightly and altered the frequency of his will fluctuations, so Jiang Qianyuan and Mo Li Jueye did not recognize him.

More than half of the Ruins had passed when the seats in the hall filled up.

Yu Zhang Great Venerable stood up once again. He had always presided over the events at Shouxin Hall, and this time was no exception.

"Fellow Daoists, many old friends have joined this Shouxin Hall event, and many new friends have also come for the first time. Let me first state the rules of the event... Once that’s done, if anyone has treasures to offer, you can bring them out now."

After speaking, Yu Zhang Great Venerable sat down, and with a sweep of his sleeve, various treasures flew out from his sleeve, landing on different levels of the Jade Steps below.

The treasures were dazzling, mostly swords, spears, steles, towers, and other Magical Treasures. There were also quite a few Heaven and Earth Strange Objects and Cultivation Technique Jade Scrolls.

Meanwhile, Zhao Sheng untied the Big Belly Bag from his waist and, after loosening the bag’s opening, gently poured it downwards.

Crash!

Hundreds to thousands of Magical Treasures and Heaven and Earth Strange Objects suddenly poured out, then landed on different Jade Steps according to their value.

At the same time, the opening of the Big Belly Bag grew larger, and a giant, entirely pale white bone slowly flew out.

This pale white bone resembled a giant, narrow rib, over a hundred zhang long.

Its surface emitted a faint white light while layers of thin ice formed.

The thin ice visibly thickened, becoming crystal clear.

The natural phenomenon of the God Gun’s Skeleton instantly startled all the Immortal Ruins Guests in the hall, drawing various glances.

Yu Zhang Great Venerable’s face changed slightly at the sight of the God Gun’s Skeleton, and his hand trembling lightly in his sleeve.

In the "All Things Return to Silence" Burial Immortal Ruins, the brilliance of the God Gun’s Skeleton was blinding to everyone.

In an instant, all the Immortal Ruins Guests present revealed eager looks, all determined to obtain the God Gun’s Skeleton.

"May I ask this fellow Daoist, what is this item..."

"... This giant bone, I will take it. Fellow Daoist, what do you want to trade for it? Name your price!"

"This bone is actually a naturally formed Water Element Treasure. I’ve lived for over three hundred thousand years and have never seen such a miraculous bone. May I boldly ask from which legendary life form does this bone originate?"

"Fellow Daoist Gong’an! This God primarily cultivates the Water Element Dao; this bone is fated with me. I hope you will let it go... I am willing to offer a thousand Principle Crystals..."

"This young friend, if I’m not mistaken, this bone should be the legendary God Gun’s Skeleton! It’s said that the God Gun is a descendant of the Primordial Clan’s ’Great Origin,’ born with a Dao Fruit already condensed, with strength comparable to an Immortal... If this bone comes from a mature God Gun, it’s priceless. I am willing to offer three parts of Cave Heaven Marrow Jade, hoping you will relent."

For a moment, countless waves of will surged forth, causing a tempest around the Magic Platforms.

But no matter what price was offered, Zhao Sheng did not relent, only replying, "Only trading for Five Elements Principle Crystals and Cave Heaven Marrow Jade. The highest bidder wins!"

The atmosphere in the hall grew more agitated, and Yu Zhang Great Venerable’s expression turned slightly grim as he suddenly stood up.

With his rise, a vast, ocean-like pressure spread out, instantly intimidating all the Immortal Ruins Guests.

Yu Zhang Great Venerable coldly swept his gaze across all the cultivators present, finally settling on Zhao Sheng’s face.

"I propose holding an impromptu auction. Would fellow Daoist be willing?"

Zhao Sheng met his gaze, his tone composed as he replied, "As you wish!"

"Excellent!" Yu Zhang Great Venerable nodded slightly, continuing, "I’ll start off! Eighty thousand Earth Element Principle Crystals."
