Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension - Chapter 774: 456: Immortal Law and Return_2

Chapter 774: Chapter 456: Immortal Law and Return_2

“Have you remembered it?”

“I have!”

“Very good!”

Upon hearing Zhao Sheng’s reply, Yuan Hong nodded slightly, revealing a trace of satisfied smile.

“This saint knows that the third task is as easy as turning the palm of your hand for you, my boy! Therefore, this saint simply passed down the ‘Big and Small Ruyi Immortal Skill’ to you first, as a little benefit in advance.”

Having said that, the monkey plucked a handful of fur from his body, rolled it in his palm a few times, and then casually tossed it, whereupon a ball of golden light suddenly appeared in mid-air.

Zhao Sheng only saw a beam of golden light shooting towards him and in a flash, it burrowed into his crown.

In an instant, countless three-dimensional Immortal Seal Characters surged out of nowhere above his Soul Sea, like a torrential waterfall pouring down into the Soul Sea below.

These three-dimensional Immortal Seal Characters were highly entropic, each carrying at least an order of magnitude more information than the most complex Dragon Seal and Phoenix Seal he had seen before.

Even though Zhao Sheng’s Divine Soul was tremendously resilient, “reading” these Immortal Seal Characters was like untangling each complicated “ball of yarn,” not only extremely strenuous but also quite painful.

However, he was suffering and joyful at the same time.

All because Yuan Hong, the generous monkey brother, was indeed liberal, unexpectedly teaching him a type of Immortal Seal script for free.

Zhao Sheng even felt that even if the ‘Big and Small Ruyi Immortal Skill’ hadn’t been imparted, just learning this Immortal Seal script alone was a huge gain.

Hmm!

After a long while, Zhao Sheng, drenched in sweat, moaned with a stifled hum, his feet staggered twice, and after swaying his body, he managed to straighten up with effort.

Thḭ𝖘 𝗰hαpƚ𝖾r 𝑖ʂ p𝑜𝘴𝑡є𝑑 b𝙮 𝓀𝙞ṯ𝙚п𝟬𝖛𝕖𝐥

He slowly opened his eyes, his pupils filled with bloodshot veins, indicating immense exhaustion.

At this time, Yuan Hong sat cross-legged atop the Giant Stone, stroking his dark golden braids hanging in front of his chest, and with a smiling face he praised, “Heh, this saint underestimated you. I originally thought you, boy, would at most grasp thirty percent, but you unexpectedly learned half an Immortal Law. When it comes to Divine Soul aptitude, you are considered top-notch within the Human Clan.”

After hearing these words, Zhao Sheng’s face did not show any sign of joy; instead, a bitter smile of helplessness appeared.

He had guarded against everything, but in the end, he still suffered a loss in the dark.

Although the ‘Big and Small Ruyi Immortal Skill’ was exquisitely powerful and defied the heavens, its threshold for cultivation was immensely high, beginning with the Primordial Spirit Realm.

That is to say, only those Divinity Transformation True Monarchs with a formed Primordial Spirit could practice it.

But a pit is deeper than another, and the worst part was that Yuan Hong had set a Prohibition in advance, making it so this Immortal Law could only be practiced by oneself, absolutely impossible to record or transmit to future generations, let alone teach it to others.

If it were anyone else, they might very well have been ruined by Yuan Hong.

Having an Immortal Law in their possession but powerless to use it themselves, they could only place it in a high loft or secret chamber, wasting such a heaven-sent opportunity for nothing.

However, no matter how many pits Yuan Hong dug, they were not as significant as some people’s external cheats.

If he could not teach others in this life, then he would simply teach it in the next!

If he does not achieve Divinity Transformation in this life, there will always be a future life in which he can.

Zhao Sheng’s thoughts flashed, and he quickly subdued his emotions, becoming as calm as water. He then bowed deeply to express his thanks, “This junior will remember the great kindness of the Great Saint’s Dharma Transmission! Once I return to the present world, I shall certainly rebuild a Golden Body for the Great Saint and establish three thousand Divine Temples.”

“Heh heh! Boy, are you satisfied with just this little bit of sweetness? Do you not know that this saint has greater benefits in store for you, waiting for you to claim them someday. Do not let this saint down!”

“The Secret Skill of Communicating with Ghosts taught by the Great Saint has been etched in my heart. I shall definitely return to Forgotten Heaven in the future to pay a visit to the Great Saint.”

“Good. This saint will be waiting for you, no matter if it’s for a thousand years or for all eternity!”

Seeing that the human child obediently fell into the trap, Yuan Hong couldn’t help but feel very pleased with himself, even secretly mocking the human child for his ignorance and foolishness.

In fact, having taken the opportunity to transmit the law, he had already laid down many mental suggestions, naturally not worrying about the human child neglecting his duties after leaving.

Zhao Sheng’s eyes flickered, roughly guessing the sly thoughts of the other party.

A Demon Saint who was killed by a Human Heavenly Venerable, how could he be so approachable and even generously pass down Immortal Laws to a human?

Despite having an agenda, Yuan Hong’s posture was too low and too agreeable.

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng took a deep breath, clasped his hands in front of him, and said earnestly, “I humbly request the Great Saint to send this young one back to the present world!”

“Hehe, a trivial matter! Relax your spirit, off you go!”

As soon as the words were spoken, Zhao Sheng felt his body become light and floaty, and the world before his eyes underwent enormous change, turning into an immeasurably large Light Ball, albeit with extremely dim light.

In the next instant, the Light Ball quickly shrank to a speck of faint glow, which was soon “submerged” by an expansive and boundless darkness.

In just a fleeting moment, Zhao Sheng witnessed a bizarre array of lights before his eyes and could barely sense his own existence, feeling only as if his Divine Soul was enveloped by some ineffable Power, seemingly rising infinitely while also plummeting at breakneck speed.

The two completely opposite sensations emerged simultaneously in his heart, causing him unbearable discomfort, and his Divine Soul nearly twisted and ripped apart.

Fortunately, the entire process lasted only an instant. When Zhao Sheng sensed his flesh again, he found himself astonishingly back atop the dark golden giant column.

The ground was still covered with fine dark gold scales, and the space-time a thousand zhang away remained chaotic and obscured, where space-time storms whirled and dissipated.

Zhao Sheng had just glanced over when he suddenly sensed the space around his body distorting and blurring.

What followed was a supremely vast and powerful force.

The pitch-black light flashed and vanished in an instant, and Zhao Sheng abruptly disappeared from that spot.

…

Above the edge of the Seven Star Spirit Realm, a jet-black and profound “Crack” emerged out of nowhere,

After the “Crack” spewed out a grayish-white Nine Nether Tower, it vanished abruptly.

At that moment, a beam of light shot out from the bottom of the small tower, and Zhao Sheng’s figure appeared within it.

A second later, the beam of light disappeared, and the Nine Nether Tower, lacking in strength, fell through the void, perfectly caught by a distinct, slender, and flawless palm.

Zhao Sheng weighed the Nine Nether Tower in his hand and casually placed it into the Space Storage Seal.

At that moment, four streaks of tunneling light suddenly approached from the directions of east, south, west, and north, flying rapidly toward this location.

A breath later, Xian Kong Ancestor stopped a dozen zhang away, his face full of hesitation as he tentatively asked, “My lord, are you… are you alright?”

By this time, Yama, Thunder Roc, and Daoist Ou Feng had also arrived one after another, their faces showing varied expressions as they looked toward Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Sheng’s eyes flickered, and he smiled calmly, asking, “Do I look like something is wrong?”

Xian Kong Ancestor inwardly cursed, hastily shaking his head and shouting, “Not at all, of course not! It’s just that, I suddenly lost my Sensing of the lord a moment ago, hence my concern.”

Seeing this, Yama Ancestor also said, “Xian Kong is right. Due to the Seven Star Spirit Realm’s sudden relocation to the Mixed Hole Realm and the temporary disappearance of the Star Nebula Mysterious Realm, the surrounding conditions became exceptionally chaotic and dangerous. It is likely due to this that we temporarily lost our Sensing of the lord.”

Zhao Sheng turned his head to look at the edge of the spiritual realm, where he could see the Star Nebula Mysterious Realm had already reappeared, effectively isolating the dangerous environment from the outside.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng’s eyes slightly narrowed, and he remained silent.

Ironically, in the time he accidentally fell into Forgotten Heaven and returned to the present world, only a breath or two had passed in the present world, yet he had clearly spent at least several months in the Void Realm.

It was then that he truly felt the immense difference in the Time Flow between the Nine Nether Void Realm and the present world.

“You may go and find a place to Practice. I need to enter closed-door cultivation for a while. You’re dismissed!” Zhao Sheng instructed the four with indifference.

At that moment, Daoist Ou Feng suddenly transmitted a message, saying, “Tianqiong, I have something to inform you about. Please avoid Yama and the others, and let’s talk alone.”

“Agreed, come to my cave mansion later,” Zhao Sheng replied without betraying any emotion.

Yama and the others, each with their own thoughts, silently flew toward the Dark Star.

Zhao Sheng, bringing Daoist Ou Feng with him, descended onto the Bright Star.

Shortly afterward, the two arrived in a drawing-room within the cave mansion.

After taking their seats, Zhao Sheng calmly began, “Mr. Ou, you said there was something you wish to discuss—go ahead.”

Daoist Ou Feng’s eyes shifted before he asked, “May I inquire, Brother Tianqiong, did you just by chance fall into the Void Realm?”
