Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 639 - 393: Meeting the Ancients on the Ascension Platform

Chapter 639 -393: Meeting the Ancients on the Ascension Platform

The Outer Void beyond the realms was eerily silent yet filled with infinite mystery and dangers aplenty.

A disc-shaped boat, a hundred zhang in length and silver-white in color, sped along the edge of the atmosphere, racing towards the direction of the rising Great Sun from the curvature of the earth below.

Zhao Sheng leaned against the crystal window of a cabin in the disc-shaped boat, turned his head to look outside, his expression one of melancholy and reflection.

At this moment, the Heavenly Gang Atmosphere below surged like the tides of the sea, with vast clouds of Gang Qi spanning thousands of miles constantly being left far behind by the speeding vessel.

Hum!

Suddenly, the cabin door was opened from the outside. Zhao Sheng, lost in thought, turned to look, just in time to see Zhao Changdu, with his white beard and hair, entering the cabin.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Sheng sighed inwardly, judging to himself, “He could only hold out for two days before coming to confront me. His Qi Cultivation skills are truly not up to par!”

Thinking this, Zhao Sheng immediately stood up and saluted Zhao Changdu, “Qiong Tian, I’ve seen Ancestor Du. May I ask what brings Ancestor to this junior?”

“Hehe, no need for such formalities. I merely have some matters I’d like to discuss with you,” Zhao Changdu said with a beaming smile, gesturing for him to sit.

After both men had taken their seats, Zhao Changdu pondered for a moment before speaking, “I’ve heard you mention before that as a child you were taken in by the Heavenly Dao Sect and have been with them ever since. You are not yet a hundred years old but have already reached the Golden Core… Well, what I mean to say is…” freēnovelkiss.com

At this point, Zhao Changdu hesitated. Seeing this, Zhao Sheng said with a smile, “Ancestor need not hold back, Qiong Tian will speak the whole truth.”

Having said this, Zhao Sheng simply nodded and admitted, “Yes, the heavenly phenomenon the other day was caused by me.”

Zhao Changdu’s expression turned to one of curiosity, but before he could inquire,

Zhao Sheng went straight to revealing the truth, “The Heavenly Dao Sect sent a Nascent Soul Ancestor after me because I had stumbled upon a Heavenly Dao Fragment in the Qiu Ling Secret Realm. The kind that could create a new Emperor.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Changdu’s expression turned to shock, causing the jade mat on which he sat to suddenly burst into pieces.

Zhao Sheng ignored it and continued, “That Heavenly Dao Fragment had already been brought back to the Tianzhu Realm the day before yesterday, hence the heavenly phenomenon.”

“Fortune! Qiong Tian, what great fortune you have,” exclaimed Zhao Changdu, unable to help the look of admiration on his face.

“Ancestor flatters me. I merely tried casually and did not expect the heavens to be so generous,” Zhao Sheng responded with great humility.

“Ah, but you speak amiss! Only a true man of the world dares to think what others do not and dare to do what others will not. For a thousand years, battles have raged between realms, and our realm has sent countless spies, but not one has thought of bringing back a Heavenly Dao Fragment to our realm.

No, this matter is of great significance; I must report it to our ancestors as soon as possible.”

In his excitement, Zhao Changdu nearly arose from his seat towards the end.

Zhao Sheng cautioned him, “Ancestor, please don’t worry. There are many with a keen sense in this world! I am sure others have secretly done the same before me. It’s just that the fragments they brought back were of too low a grade to trigger such a large-scale heavenly phenomenon.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Changdu suddenly calmed down, his face showing sudden realization, as he muttered to himself, “No wonder, no wonder when I returned, the Qi Fortune surged so much all at once. I thought it was some other serendipity, but now it seems… it must be because of this.

Humph, the people of Star River Palace are indeed cunning; no wonder they are so keen on sending secret spies!”

Hearing this, a flicker of insight flashed in Zhao Sheng’s eyes. From Ancestor Du’s words, it seemed that indeed someone had previously gained a lot.

At this moment, he saw a bit of the big picture and suddenly asked, “May I ask Ancestor, how is my Qi Fortune now?”

“Surrounded by purple qi, exalted beyond words!” Zhao Changdu, momentarily distracted, let the truth slip without thinking.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than he realized his gaffe and glared at Zhao Sheng, “You sly boy, trying to draw words out of me.”

Zhao Sheng shook his head with a smile, “Not at all! I’ve read a thing or two about the Qi Observing Skill in the miscellaneous notes of Qingyang Ancestor. It was only today that I ventured to ask, not expecting that such marvelous skills truly exist in this world.”

“Where did you read this? Where is the book with these miscellaneous records?” asked Zhao Changdu, his face showing confusion.

Zhao Sheng, realizing his slip of the tongue, hastily patched things up, “The book has been destroyed. If Ancestor wishes, I can make another copy of its contents for you.”

“Hmm,” Zhao Changdu nodded and then couldn’t help but warn him, “The Qi Observing Skill is a top-secret art of our clan, known to only a few even within ourselves. You best be careful with your words and not let it slip out by accident.”

“Ancestor, rest assured, Qiong Tian knows the importance,” Zhao Sheng assured, thumping his chest.

The Qi Observing Skill was indeed a miracle technique, but it had its limitations, much like fitting shoes to feet. It was applicable only within the Tianzhu Realm.

Zhao Sheng had attempted to cultivate this technique in the Netherworld, but never made any progress. Over time, he stopped taking it to heart.

What he did not know was that the rapid expansion of the Southern Sky Zhao Family owed much to this miracle technique.

Zhao Changdu valued Zhao Sheng highly, for with his current age and Qi Fortune, should he not fall prematurely, the Zhao Family might well gain another Divinity Transformation True Monarch in a thousand years.

By then, the Zhao Family would have two Divinity Transformations, ensuring continuous prosperity for tens of thousands of years, solidifying their position as the premier family of the Tianzhu Realm!

Contemplating that boundless glory, Zhao Changdu could hardly contain his elation, his face radiating joy.

Fortunately, his thousand years of Qi Cultivation were not in vain.

Zhao Changdu quickly regained his composure and calmly changed the subject, talking instead about Zhao Sheng’s experiences in the Netherworld.
