Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension Chapter 1559 - 843: Qinghuang Bell, Reunion with an Old Friend at the Rift Valley

Northern Mirage Cloud Mirror, Mirror Realm.

Steaming clouds fill the sky, rosy mists flourish, creating an immense ocean of fog, while the lake's waters remain crystal clear and still, not a single wave in sight.

Zhao Sheng walks across the surface of the water, his robes billowing in the breeze, as numerous sparkling ice shards cascade downward.

Upon touching the water, the ice crystals melt away, turning into groups of exceptionally refined spiritual liquid that diffuses softly outward.

In the next instant, Zhao Sheng releases thousands of pounds of 'Pure Water' and casually wanders over to a particular aquatic area.

Suddenly, a broad beam of rainbow-colored glow erupts from beneath the surface, completely enveloping Zhao Sheng.

The very next moment, the glow vanishes abruptly, and Zhao Sheng disappears entirely from view.

In this place, thick smoke billows, and massive volcanoes loom large within the Haoyang Mirror Realm. From the depths of the first volcano, a silhouette emerges from under the Magma Lake.

Zhao Sheng appears hovering over the Magma Lake, remaining completely motionless.

All at once, pieces from diverse Magical Treasures such as swords, spears, and axes plunge rapidly into the Magma Lake, while bunches of Heaven and Earth True Fire converge, enveloping the pieces with immense vitality.

The pieces can be seen softening and melting visibly, repeatedly separating the Five Elements Essence, slowly descending into the lake's bottom.

With just a single idea, Zhao Sheng observes several dozen head-sized Spirit Gold Balls erupting from the lake's top, swiftly plunging into his sleeves and vanishing.

Not long afterward, a vibrant column of light surges upward, breaking through the barriers of space and time, linking to yet another teleportation formation in the Mirror Realm.

Over the following half day, Zhao Sheng journeys across Central Houtu, Western Golden Light, and Eastern Kong Sang, depositing massive amounts of matching attribute 'Treasures.'

While the Five Directions Treasure Mirror steadily 'processes' these Treasures originating from the Burial Immortal Ruins, it gradually unleashes immense quantities of supremely refined natural spiritual energy, accompanied by countless elusive Tao 'Spirit Mechanisms.'

The greater the number of Treasures processed, the faster the Five Directions Treasure Mirror expands, and the more perfected the laws inside the Mirror Realm become.

Furthermore, as the Mirror Realm develops, it likewise yields a substantial volume of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in return.

Thus, a beneficial loop takes shape.

It's foreseeable that after this loop establishes itself, breaking it will prove exceedingly tough, and it will expand with even greater speed and strength.

With the passage of time, the Five Directions Treasure Mirror and Zhao Sheng alike will reap boundless advantages.

…

Five years following the Treasure Fighting Conference, the fame of Master Shaoling showed no signs of waning; instead, it soared to dazzling heights.

During these five years, the rankings of the Nine Profound Tower have shifted with remarkable frequency, as fresh names keep emerging, relentlessly pushing toward loftier floors.

The boldest among them even ascended to the seventh floor of the Nine Profound Tower, securing a spot among the top ten powerhouses.

These rising Cultivators who challenge the tower typically wield a Spiritual Treasure for their defense.

One inquisitive person once tallied that the 'Spiritual Treasures' held by these Cultivators all originated from auctions, and no fewer than six were crafted by Master Shaoling himself.

Once this information circulated across the city, Master Shaoling's name exploded in popularity, nearly becoming a mythic figure on the lips of innumerable Cultivators.

Influenced by him, an increasing number of prominent 'big figures' possessing lofty status and power began showing up at the Wanyou Trading Company headquarters, all eager to encounter Master Shaoling.

The Ku Rong Ancestor, powerless against the tide of public demand, had no choice but to meekly request Zhao Sheng's assistance.

Zhao Sheng, who had gathered a considerable stockpile of treasure materials with no outlet for use, feigned being 'burdened' as he consented to receive a handful of these 'big figures.'

These so-called 'big figures' hailed from the elite ranks of the Five Immortal Gates, their cultivation levels at minimum reaching Divinity Transformation.

In order to commission a Spiritual Treasure from Master Shaoling, these 'big figures' spared no expense, presenting lavish gifts of various treasures and rare Heaven and Earth Strange Objects.

Thanks to the Haoyang Treasure Mirror, Zhao Sheng is capable of forging up to ten distinct kinds of Spiritual Treasures all at once.

Crafting just a handful of Spiritual Treasures demands little of his effort.

…

Within the heart of the cave mansion, luminous Bright Pearls set into the walls cast a brilliant glow, lighting up the seclusion chamber as vividly as broad daylight.

Right now, a pill resembling an egg in size, entirely silver-white, hovers mid-air, its glow flowing steadily, subtly emitting a very faint ripple of Law.

Zhao Sheng positions himself cross-legged in the emptiness, his eyes locked onto the silver-white Elixir Pill, his vision piercing through the void as he rhythmically inhales and exhales without end.

His ten fingers dance ceaselessly, with innumerous strands of Will pulses blending into an immense, sea-vast Divine Thought Power, ceaselessly transforming into myriad 'Silk Strings.'

Layer upon layer, the 'Silk Strings' encircle and interlace the Elixir Pill, shifting thousands of times in a flash, methodically inscribing a full 'spirit prohibition' into the 'empty' area.

On other parts of the Elixir Pill, two additional finished 'spirit prohibitions' aligned with the identical Law are already present.

Should any Refining Master witness this, they would be utterly shocked and unable to contain their amazement.

For the spirit prohibition now finishing also pertains to the Fire Law.

Though the three spirit prohibitions draw from a single Tao, they diverge profoundly.

Strangely enough, even with such profound distinctions between the three spirit prohibitions, they harmonize flawlessly with one another.

Upon finishing the third spirit prohibition, the trio could fuse together, creating an impeccable cycle of Law.

Should it succeed for real, typical Refining Masters could merely gape in awe, brimming with envy, jealousy... and resentment!

Naturally, certain Refining Masters might prostrate themselves, yearning to become his disciple.

Ka-cha!

After three full days and nights, the silver-white Elixir Pill abruptly erupts in blindingly brilliant light, as a lively and sacred illusion of a divine Phoenix bursts forth from its core.

The Phoenix unfurls its wings, releasing countless sparks of flame amid its plumage.

Zhao Sheng drops his hands, a smile playing on his lips as he observes the Phoenix Illusion gliding leisurely, silently withdrawing his Will and Divine Thought.

After three breaths, the 'Phoenix' abruptly charges toward the airborne silver-white Elixir Pill, plunging inside rapidly and fading from sight.
