Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

As the vast dark clouds dispersed, the Dharma Manifestation Rainbow Light gradually scattered across the world, leaving the Divinity Transformation Grandmaster to vanish into smoke.

Seeing this outcome, Zhao Sheng finally relaxed, reached out his hand, and called back the Ten Thousand Fire Tripod, Three Suns Intense Fire Banner, Nine Nether Tower, and other Magical Treasures that swiftly returned to their owner.

In the next instant, a white light flew over from a distance, transforming into a jade-white Demon-Subduing Pestle in his hand.

Immediately after, Zhao Sheng released his Divine Thought, which grandly expanded over the sea below, quickly enveloping a nearby hundred-mile marine area.

Whizzing sounds!

A large array of items, including the Silver-white Small Bow, Xinghuang Wood Fish, Nine Dragon Thunder Seal, Purple Thunder Banner, and remains, flew up from the Undersea and swiftly gathered before Zhao Sheng, who stored them individually in his Storage Bag.

Having faced life and death several times, he now reaped abundant rewards!

Though Zhao Sheng's heart was still filled with lingering fears, seeing so many treasures caused him great comfort; finally, his efforts weren't in vain.

After putting away the treasures, Zhao Sheng's figure flickered and in an instant, he arrived above Hidden Island.

Seeing their ancestor's triumphant return, Zhao Wanxian and others were overjoyed, hurriedly lifted the array barrier, and flew up to greet him, exclaiming in unison: "Congratulations to Ancestor for slaying the foe, greatly enhancing our family's prestige! Ancestor's mana is boundless and invincible in the world!"

These Zhao Clan Members, having witnessed a series of astonishing battles, revered Qiong Tian Ancestor as a Divine being, filled with admiration.

Zhao Hongcen respectfully returned the Ten Thousand Talisman Array Plate to Qiong Tian Ancestor.

After Zhao Sheng retrieved the Array Plate, he took a moment to encourage everyone, instructing them to devote themselves to their duties in the future, and then dismissed the crowd, leaving only Zhao Hongcen behind.

As for the remnants of the Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire Sect, the moment their sect master perished, they fled in panic.

"Ancestor, what is your command?" Zhao Hongcen asked submissively.

With a calm expression, Zhao Sheng said, "For the time being, you will manage matters on Hidden Island. Remember to meticulously record the experiments. By the way, there are a few people you need to keep an eye on."

Speaking of which, Zhao Sheng specified a few names, including Ouyang Boxian.

Zhao Hongcen solemnly bowed after hearing, loudly declaring, "Hongcen accepts the task, I will not betray Ancestor's great trust!"

Hmm!

Zhao Sheng nodded with satisfaction, then added, "I have important matters that require me to leave for a few days. The experiments on Hidden Island are critical to our family's Qi Fortune of ten thousand years, make sure to handle them with utmost care! When this achieves Great Merit, I will personally commend you to our Ancestor."

"Rest assured, Ancestor! Hongcen will not allow any oversight!" Zhao Hongcen promised firmly.

After a pause, Zhao Hongcen's expression turned grim as he suddenly asked, "Ancestor, are we just going to let the scoundrels of the Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire Sect go so easily?"

A flash of ferocity crossed Zhao Sheng's eyes, his voice cold, "Of course, we won't let it slide easily. Once I report this matter to our Ancestor. Hmm, the Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire Sect will find no necessity to exist anymore."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hongcen's eyes flashed with a murderous light.

If it weren't for the Ancestor's formidable strength, slaying all foes, the fate of these people today would be self-evident, truly none would have hoped to survive!

This kind of life-and-death enmity, the Southern Sky Zhao Family will certainly retaliate!

Afterward, Zhao Sheng carefully instructed Zhao Hongcen on some matters.

Moments later, a golden light soared into the Nine Heavens Cloud Sky, quickly breaking through the Boundary Membrane of the world, veering towards the Central Continent.

...

Two days later, a stream of light suddenly pierced through the Cloud Sea, swiftly plunging into Heavenly Pillar Mountain.

Zhao Sheng, dust-laden from his travels, reached Mountain City, effortlessly meeting Zhao Xuanjing, who was busy with fervor.

If one hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would think a Divinity Transformation True Monarch, standing at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Pillar, would dress like an ordinary craftsman, beaming with joy as he drew designs and built houses for people.

Indeed, who under the heavens doesn't have their hobbies!

For instance, back in the day, Xie Wuxu True Monarch also disguised himself as "Old Li" to publicly sell spring palace talismans. Zhao Sheng had quite a few encounters with him, learning the art of True Illusion Talisman Technique.

Coincidentally, Zhao Xuanjing's hobby was being a Spiritual Craftsman who constructs houses and cities, earning the title "Divine Skill" in earlier years.

Zhao Xuanjing noticed Zhao Sheng's arrival, his expression slightly surprised, and brushed off non-existent dust from his hands, teasingly saying, "Busy person, how come you've dared to come back to see this old man today?"

With a serious expression, Zhao Sheng transmitted a brief message.

After listening, Zhao Xuanjing gradually put away his smile.

At this moment, he turned his head, instructed those nearby to leave, and then gave Zhao Sheng a meaningful glance, which Zhao Sheng understood with a nod.

In the next moment, the two vanished from their spots simultaneously.

Moments later, they reappeared in the Dragon Cave beneath Mountain City.

As before, the enormous True Body of the Mountain Dragon coiled in the cave's center, majestic and giant as a mountain, emitting an overwhelming pressure.

Zhao Xuanjing gestured for Zhao Sheng to sit, then asked what the change of events was.

Zhao Sheng recounted the whole sequence of events, including his suspicions towards the Supreme Sensing Sect.

Then, he presented the Three Demons Returning to Obscurity Mallet, Xinghuang Wood Fish, Nine Dragon Thunder Seal, and the corpse of Lei Xinggang as evidence.

After Zhao Xuanjing examined the "evidence," his expression turned grave, snorting coldly, "Humph! In hundreds of years, our Zhao family has never suffered such a loss! Since it's the Supreme Sensing Sect secretly causing troubles, then I'll have a talk with that Xiao Xie. Our Zhao family doesn't bully others, but we certainly cannot be bullied!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but secretly admire the Ancestor's imposing aura.
