Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Buzz~ Buzz!

At this moment, two clusters of Heaven and Earth True Fire, one black and one gold, erupted from within the tripod, then circled around the Treasure Tripod, constantly spiraling and colliding.

In an instant, clusters of Chaotic Gray Light continuously appeared, lasting for one breath before collapsing one after another, spreading outwards.

Beside him, Zhao Xuanjing's eyes were filled with Divine Light, watching intently the wondrous phenomenon from the emergence to the collapse of the Annihilation Grey Light, his face repeatedly showing expressions of amazement.

Zhao Sheng explained as he demonstrated: "Ancestor, the Annihilation Divine Light is an extremely unique power accidentally born from the collision of Death Soul Black Flame and Golden Crow True Fire, with an absolute tendency towards destruction in its power attributes. But it is extremely unstable and very difficult to control.

Since its discovery, I have yet to find any treasure or power that can completely resist the Annihilation Divine Light."

Hearing this, Zhao Xuanjing's competitive spirit was aroused, and he couldn't help but release a strand of Primordial Spirit Power to touch a cluster of gray light.

The result was as expected!

The strand of Primordial Spirit Power was instantly annihilated.

Unconvinced, Zhao Xuanjing tried infusing various Strange Treasures into the Annihilation Divine Light, such as Void Fallen Gold, Earth Core Gen Rock, Primordial Magnetic Divine Iron, and even a piece of Eternal True Gold used for refining the Ascension Array Base.

The result was that only the Eternal True Gold greatly slowed the annihilation speed, while other treasures, upon encountering the Annihilation Divine Light, turned into a pile of scrap metal, completely unable to withstand the erosion.

Moments later, Zhao Xuanjing reluctantly withdrew his hand, but couldn't help but praise: "Such a mysterious power is truly unparalleled in the world! In my opinion, the Annihilation Divine Light is probably a tier higher than the Heaven and Earth True Fire. Perhaps only those with cultivation above Divinity Transformation can maneuver it at will."

With a flash of his gaze, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but say: "Ancestor, with your realm, I wonder if you can harness this power?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuanjing's expression shifted, and after some thought, he shook his head: "No, no! My path of cultivation is already set, and I cannot be distracted. Though the Annihilation Divine Light is formidable, it cannot sway my Dao Heart. Qiong Tian, discovering the Annihilation Divine Light is your opportunity, but I have had no shortage of opportunities throughout my cultivation."

Saying this, Zhao Xuanjing smiled mysteriously and asked in return: "Do you want to know what has been the greatest opportunity in my life?"

Zhao Sheng's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he nodded eagerly like a chicken pecking rice: "I do! I'm very curious, Grandson is very curious."

Zhao Xuanjing smiled with self-satisfaction and, full of reminiscence, said: "This matter, speaking of it, starts with the incident of the Star God falling into demonhood back in the day…"

A half teacup time later, the story had reached its conclusion: "…At the time, just before Ascension, that Supreme Venerable accidentally discovered me, who had signed a Symbiotic Contract with Little Gold. Coincidentally, the Supreme Venerable came from the Upper Realm's Spirit Taming Sect. Upon seeing me with Little Gold, the Supreme Venerable was impressed and not only passed down half of the but also personally guided me for an hour. Because of this, I have been making rapid progress in my cultivation over the millennia, constantly breaking through barriers, until this day."

After listening, Zhao Sheng then realized that such a legendary tale had happened back then, and its protagonist was Zhao Xuanjing after all.

No wonder he, with average talent, was able to leap to the Peak of God Transformation within a few hundred years.

But after a moment, Zhao Sheng felt puzzled again and immediately asked: "Since the Supreme Venerable was so fond of you, why didn't he directly take you up to ascend to the Spirit Realm back then?"

"Good question!" Zhao Xuanjing praised with a smile, then patted the mass of flesh beside him, with a hint of helplessness, saying: "The reason lies with Little Gold. Although the Mountain Dragon is noble as a True Dragon Species, it was born by absorbing the Qi Fortune of Heavenly Pillar Mountain. If it leaves the Tianzhu Realm, Little Gold would lose its foundation, and its path would be cut off. Therefore, until Little Gold undergoes a hundred tribulations and becomes a True Dragon, I naturally cannot leave this realm.

Back then, the Supreme Venerable once said: When the Mountain Dragon transforms into a True Dragon, it will be the time for me to ascend and gain Dao."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng pondered with joy: "I once read an Ancient Scroll that contained some secrets about the True Dragon. It is said that the True Dragon's body is invincible and has the innate ability to roam the Void Realm. Thus, this rumor should not be false."

"The Supreme Venerable personally told me, this matter is undoubtedly true." Zhao Xuanjing stroked his long beard, his expression serene, and said.

"Then... may I ask, Ancestor, how many more tribulations does the Mountain Dragon need to achieve the True Dragon body?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuanjing's hand paused, and he casually replied: "Not many, only six groups of nine remaining!"

Zhao Sheng couldn't help but feel a sense of pity for Zhao Xuanjing.

Fifty-four tribulations!

If calculated as one tribulation every sixty years, it would take more than three thousand years for the Mountain Dragon to pass through a hundred tribulations and transform into a True Dragon!

More than three thousand years!

Such a long time is enough for him to cultivate to the Returning to Void Realm.

Moreover, in such a long period, given the size of the Southern Sky Zhao Family, it wouldn't be hard to produce a few more Divinity Transformation True Monarchs.

Besides, Zhao Sheng still had six Primordial Spirit Fruits in his possession, and if used wisely, it was possible to produce six Zhao Family True Monarchs.

Of course, he couldn't reveal the Primordial Spirit Fruits now, as the timing wasn't right yet.

Seeing the situation wasn't right, Zhao Sheng immediately changed the subject, continuing to demonstrate the Annihilation Divine Light while constantly asking Zhao Xuanjing for his opinion.

Ultimately, Zhao Xuanjing, being a Divinity Transformation True Monarch with extraordinary Eye Power, easily provided numerous insights and suggestions even upon his first encounter with the Annihilation Divine Light.

Zhao Sheng absorbed his guidance and inspiration, quickly generating many insights and felt he gained immensely.

In the blink of an eye, four hours later, Zhao Sheng dispersed the Annihilation Divine Light with a face full of joy, put away the Ten Thousand Fire Tripod with a thought, and then took out a bamboo basket about a foot high, wholly green, from the Storage Bag.
