Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension Chapter 1350 - 728: Returning to the Tianzhu Realm

After taking several deep breaths, the Chun Jun Youth handed back the Immortal Awakening Tripod. He spoke with a touch of remorse, "What a magnificent top-grade treasure embryo, yet it has been so violently mistreated by someone. This ancestor's heart truly aches!"

"Hmm~ Let us get to the point," Zhao Sheng replied, his expression turning frosty as his voice grew heavy.

A visible shudder ran through the Chun Jun Youth. He quickly forced a sycophantic grin and explained, "Master, the quality of this Immortal Awakening Tripod is truly exceptional. However, because it has lacked proper nurturing for so long, the Law Spiritual Light inside is nearly extinguished. Furthermore, it suffered multiple instances of improper sacrificial refining and forced activation, which severely damaged its spirit prohibition. If this continues, the tripod will inevitably be destroyed.

It is fortunate that Master encountered me today. This Immortal Awakening Tripod and I share a similar nature, as both of us possess internal spaces with collection abilities. Consequently, I have formulated a strategy to restore the tripod."

Before Zhao Sheng could prompt him, the Chun Jun Youth pointed toward the fractured leg of the Immortal Awakening Tripod and began an eloquent explanation, "The primary and most critical phase involves mending this broken leg. Regrettably, I am unfamiliar with the specific Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures utilized in the original forging of this tripod. You must take it upon yourself to personally search for the necessary refining materials for this Treasure Tripod."

Zhao Sheng nodded once, signaling for the youth to proceed.

Encouraged, the Chun Jun Youth gestured toward the motifs of flora, fauna, and insects etched onto the tripod's exterior. "Master, please observe. These patterns, though they may appear unrefined, serve as the spiritual acupoints of this treasure. You simply need to locate Ancient True Spirits that correspond perfectly to these designs. By infusing their Demon Souls into the patterns one by one, the internal spirit prohibition will be reactivated, allowing the Law Spiritual Light to flourish once more.

Naturally, Ancient True Spirits are difficult to find, but hunting down the remnants of such True Spirits should be sufficient."

"Once those two stages are finished, you must locate a Fire Spirit Vein above the Fifth Rank. Cast the Immortal Awakening Tripod into the 'Fire Eye' and allow it to be tempered there for several centuries, or perhaps a millennium. After that, this tripod will surely recover its former glory, undoubtedly evolving into a True Form Spirit Treasure, and potentially even a Primordial Yang Spirit Treasure."

After concluding his explanation, the Chun Jun Youth added a final thought, "This Immortal Awakening Tripod is no common item; its craftsmanship is fundamentally different from any Spiritual Treasure I have encountered. It does not appear to have been forged within the heavens of the Eastern Star Domain, but rather originates from somewhere beyond this Star Domain."

Zhao Sheng offered no reply, simply tucking the Immortal Awakening Tripod away into his Sumeru Space.

"I have learned much from your insights today. Therefore... our previous debts are considered settled. Provided your Supreme Sensing Sect does not harass the Zhao Family in the future, I shall not stoop to bullying the weak. Chun Jun, as we part today, may we meet again in the future!"

With those words, Zhao Sheng cupped his hands in a parting salute and vanished into thin air.

Once the Chun Jun Youth saw that the terrifying figure had departed, his tense features immediately relaxed. He wiped away imaginary sweat from his brow and muttered under his breath, "That nearly scared the life out of this baby. I finally managed to send that monster away. 'Meet again' indeed! It would be better if he never returned."

As he spoke, he transformed into a sphere of white light, darted into the mouth of a wine jug with a swift movement, and retreated to his sanctuary to drink in celebration.

...

Upon departing from the Dead Star, Zhao Sheng utilized a Space-Time Teleportation to return directly to the seclusion of his cave mansion.

As he entered the secret chamber, the Barrier Restrictions were immediately triggered, creating layers of luminous walls that sealed the room and cut it off from the outside world.

With a swift movement, Zhao Sheng seated himself cross-legged atop the Jade Couch. An ochre Yellow Jade Scroll manifested in his palm, and a beam of Divine Light suddenly erupted from his forehead, sinking into the scroll.

Within moments, the entirety of the "Soul Cleansing Technique" was perfectly transcribed into the Jade Scroll.

Setting the scroll aside, Zhao Sheng slowly shut his eyes, entering a state of deep meditation to focus all his energy on grasping the profound principles and divine essence of the "Soul Cleansing Technique."

Three months slipped by in an instant.

One day, Zhao Sheng's frame trembled slightly as he emerged from his meditative trance. His eyes snapped open, glowing with the brilliance of two radiant stars.

With a sudden flash of crimson, the Red God Banner appeared in his right hand.

Zhao Sheng tossed the banner upward, and it ascended into the air, hovering while radiating a soft, bloody glow.

The surface of the Blood Banner began to bulge repeatedly, as if something within was fighting to escape, only to be suppressed by a wisp of Five-colored Thunder Light that rendered it helpless.

Observing this, flames of Will suddenly erupted around Zhao Sheng, condensing into massive purple meteors that rained down upon the Blood Banner.

Within each meteor, countless ancient runes were packed together, forming the vague silhouette of the Seven Stars Seal.

At the same time, Zhao Sheng began to softly intone a spiritual incantation: "Ga... Mo... Duo... Luo... Ye... A... Luo... Tuo..."

As the chant resonated throughout the chamber, the Red God Banner began to settle. Wisps of multicolored flames rose from the banner, presenting a magnificent and glorious sight.

The Red God Spirit Venerable let out a final, desperate howl of defiance as it was slowly consumed by the waves of multicolored fire...

As time marched on, the entire chamber became flooded with a multicolored Sea of Fire. Remarkably, the flames remained confined within the room, showing no signs of leaking out, and the surrounding Barrier walls remained completely intact.

Fifteen years later.

The door to the chamber was finally pushed open, and Zhao Sheng stepped out with a faint smile, his form enveloped in a crystalline light.

Upon closer inspection, the source of that crystal light was a tiny, exquisite banner barely an inch in height.

After fifteen years of relentless tempering, the original Blood Banner had lost its savage aura; even the six-armed demon motif upon it had become far less menacing and terrifying than before.
