Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

```

Although part of it had been deciphered and understood by him, much more had been forcibly imparted by the Star God, and could barely be considered hastily gobbled up.

The information in his head accounted for less than one percent of his gains, and thankfully, over ninety-nine percent of the unknown information was sealed by the Hundred Lifetimes book; otherwise, his head would have burst open like a watermelon long ago.

The creation of the Inheritance Jade Scroll was also to organize information, to summarize and conclude what had been acquired.

It took Zhao Sheng one day to create the Alchemy Inheritance Jade Scroll.

However, Zhao Sheng did not inscribe the Elixir Recipe for the Enlightenment Pill into the Jade Scroll.

The Enlightenment Pill belonged to the rarest and most valuable category even among third-tier Spirit Pills.

In Zhao Sheng's view, the Golden Core Formation Pill was not as precious as the Enlightenment Pill.

Because the Enlightenment Pill could assist cultivators in comprehending the Dao, and could be used even by Nascent Soul Ancestors, while the Golden Core Formation Pill was only useful for Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Leaving the Elixir Recipe for the Enlightenment Pill to later generations was purely asking for trouble for the Zhao family.

Until a Nascent Soul Ancestor appeared to preside over the family, Zhao Sheng would not let the Enlightenment Pill out.

Subsequently, he practiced cultivation for two days to stabilize his precariously unstable Golden Core.

Logically, the three most important tasks for a newly advanced Golden Core Master are to stabilize their realm, nourish their flesh, and condense their Divine Sense.

But for Zhao Sheng, who had only a few months to live, the above tasks were not important as long as he maintained the integrity of his Golden Core.

After stabilizing the Golden Core, he began to busy himself with creating the Inheritance Jade Scrolls,

It took almost a month for Zhao Sheng to reorganize the information in his mind, and the result was nearly eighty Jade Scrolls, which not only encompassed the Hundred Skills of Immortal Cultivation such as talisman, Array Device, beast divination, curses, etc., but also included various Cultivation Methods.

In addition, eight of the Jade Scrolls contained information that was extremely abstruse and difficult to understand, detailing Zhao Sheng's insights into the Taoist Laws, with the Water Element taking up the majority of the content.

...

Late at night, thick clouds obscured the stars and the moon, plunging the night into pitch-black darkness.

In a remote part of the Star Algae Sea, a small silver-white Flying Boat suddenly broke through the sea surface, quietly shot up into the sky, and disappeared into the thick clouds in the blink of an eye.

After passing through the clouds, the Flying Boat flew into the second layer of Heavenly Gang Atmosphere, its hull nimbly turning from vertical to horizontal.

Inside the Flying Boat, Zhao Sheng slapped the hull, his robust True Yuan plunged into the boat, and a white Light Shield rose up, wrapping the Flying Boat within.

Having discerned the direction, with a thought from Zhao Sheng, the back of the Flying Boat instantly exploded with a boom, accelerating rapidly, turning into a streak of light that darted towards the Outer Sea at a lightning-fast speed.

Half a month later, the Flying Boat crossed a hundred thousand miles of sea territory and finally arrived at Dome Turtle Island.

As dusk approached, the Sun had already sunk halfway down, and countless columns of cooking smoke rose from the Zhao Family Territory in the middle of the island, presenting an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.

At this time, on the White Sand Beach on the eastern side of Dome Turtle Island, huge black-backed ironclad turtles were retreating back to the sea from the white sands.

Led by Zhao Yunxian, the Zhao Clan Members formed small turtle-hunting teams and were cautiously hunting old and frail ironclad turtles.

Despite their docile nature, the ironclad turtles could be three times more ferocious than same-tier sea sharks when fighting for their lives.

Every year during the ironclad turtles' egg-laying period, incidents occurred where Zhao Clan Members who failed to hunt would instead be killed by the turtles.

There were three Foundation Establishment Elders in the Zhao family altogether, and two of them were present on the White Sand Beach at this time.

Ah!

A sudden scream rang out as a Qi Refining Late Stage Zhao Clan Member was carelessly sent flying by a three-hundred-year-old turtle, blood trickling from his mouth and nose, clearly suffering from serious internal injuries.

Watching his "clumsy" and barely capable clanspeople, Zhao Yunxian frowned deeply, feeling extremely frustrated.

Ever since the Guest Elder, Cen Hezi, had been taken away by someone, it seemed as if the Zhao family had been struck by a string of bad luck, with one unfortunate event following another.

First, the Treasure Ship to Biluo Island was attacked by a group of Elder Phantom Birds, resulting in significant casualties among the Clan Members. Even Foundation Establishment Elder Zhao Hanguang was injured in his Purple Mansion and had to retreat for recovery.

Then, Zhao Hongli, who was at the peak of Qi Refining, failed to upgrade to Foundation Establishment, activating the Bone Burning Skill, which greatly reduced his Life Span, leaving him only a few years to live.

The most serious issue was the lack of successors within the family; now, there was only one promising Qi Refining Perfection cultivator left. There were a few talented youngsters, but if they couldn't pass the Foundation Establishment phase, even the most extraordinary talents would become nothing more than a pile of yellow soil after a hundred years.

As Zhao Yunxian was worrying about the future of the family, a cold voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "May I ask if this is the Zhao family of Dome Turtle Island?"

Startled, Zhao Yunxian's Divine Sense burst out, capturing every motion within thirty meters.

However, besides his own Clan Members, he could not find the person who spoke.

"Who are you? Please show yourself!" Read the latest on My Virtual Library Empire

Having said that, Zhao Yunxian's face hardened, and a trace of golden light faintly appeared under his sleeve.

However, as the sea winds howled around him, the person in question did not appear.

```

As his nervousness grew, that detached voice rang out again in his ears, "At midnight, a hundred miles southwest of Dome Turtle Island, among the reef cluster."

As soon as these words were spoken, a pill bottle suddenly fell from the sky, landing precisely in Zhao Yunxian's hand.

"What do you mean by this? If you are a friend and not an enemy, please show yourself!"

However, no matter how many times Zhao Yunxian repeated his call, he received no response.

Seeing that the visitor had quietly slipped away, he reluctantly stopped calling out. He extended his hand to remove the seal of the elixir, tipped the pill bottle upside down, and out rolled an elixir pill the size of a longan fruit, flickering with spirit light.

Upon seeing this spirit pill, Zhao Yunxian's face changed drastically. He immediately poured the pill back into the bottle and sealed it again.

"It's actually a Mid-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. The person has been so generous, what could be their intention? The chaotic reefs to the southwest at the dead of night... Should I go or not?"

Zhao Yunxian tightly clutched the pill bottle in his right hand, his eyebrows knitted together, his thoughts in a jumbled unrest.

...

At midnight, with the moon high in the sky,

Jagged and oddly shaped, the reefs protruded above the sea surface, forming a reef cluster nearly a mile wide, while the distribution of the underwater reefs was a hundred times greater.

Bang!

A massive ironclad turtle surfaced, slowly crawling onto a reef that was about ten yards in diameter.

Fully armed, Zhao Yunxian jumped down from the turtle's shell, his expression cautious as he observed the mysterious figure standing on another rock, five yards away.

"Who are you? Why have you invited Zhao here in the middle of the night? What is your purpose?"

"I hear your Zhao family hails from the Central Continent. Is that so?"

In the middle of speaking, the mysterious person turned around, revealing a deathly pale face.

His eyes were extremely cold, like those of a demon that had killed countless people.

The moment Zhao Yunxian saw this person's face, his heart lurched, and he immediately went on high alert.

As the saying goes, the face is a reflection of the heart!

The face of the person before him was too "fierce"; he was either a demon or a ruthless murderer who regarded human life as grass underfoot.

"Hmph!"

Seeing that Zhao Yunxian wasn't responding as expected, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but snort coldly, releasing a trace of the Golden Core's pressure.

"Ah! Senior, please forgive me, forgive me! I didn't realize your identity, and thus I have been disrespectful. Please be magnanimous and forgive my rudeness!" Zhao Yunxian exclaimed in fear, hastily bowing to apologize.

"Ignorance is no sin. I ask you, does your Zhao family come from the Central Continent, and did you have an ancestor named Zhao Chonghe?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunxian was taken aback. He quickly recalled, finding the culprit who had led to their branch being stranded in the Shattered Star Sea; it was indeed named Zhao Chonghe.

"Senior, it is true that our branch had a Family Head named Zhao Chonghe over three hundred years ago. Our ancestral home is at Dragon Carp Lake."

"Hehe! Then there's no mistake. I have indeed found the right place."

"May I know your esteemed name, Senior? Do you have some important matter to discuss by coming here?"

Zhao Sheng said hoarsely, "More than three hundred years ago, I was greatly indebted to one of your ancestors. Now that I am about to achieve Nascent Soul, I need to resolve the past cause and effect. Since Zhao Chonghe is dead, this cause and effect must now fall upon your clan."

Such good fortune?!

Zhao Yunxian was overjoyed upon hearing this, but he still maintained full caution, given that Zhao Sheng didn't look remotely like a good person.

But then, he was immediately stunned by a rain of generous gifts from heaven.

Let alone the several dozen Jade Scrolls, there were nine Foundation Establishment Pills, and even more was the two Golden Core Formation Pills he had long dreamt of.

Beyond that, a vast quantity of various talismans and spirit pills filled two Storage Bags.

For a moment, Zhao Yunxian looked at the dead-faced man before him with intense eagerness, even more affectionately than he would his own father.

The talismans and spirit pills, having been worn by hundreds of years, were essentially useless.

Zhao Sheng giving them to the Zhao family was, therefore, not a waste.

"Many thanks to Senior for your generous gifts..." Zhao Yunxian bowed repeatedly in gratitude.

However, when he straightened his body, he was astonished to find that the visitor had already vanished.

One month later, in a deep trench a thousand miles away from Dome Turtle Island, a Sea Shell nestled deep in a cave on the trench wall, emitting a faint white glow.
