Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension Chapter 1678 - 902: The Decree Issued, Uproar Among the Clan_3

To put it this way, the Zhao Family previously had seventy-eight elders in the Returning to Void realm. Among them, forty-one elders hailed from the Five Great Cave Heavens alone. The high probability of advancing to the Returning to Void realm clearly demonstrates how superior the spiritual environment within the Five Great Cave Heavens is. Therefore, when the decree from the Four Ancestors was passed down, the vast majority of Zhao Clan Members who met the requirements for migration hurried to the Treasure Ships to undergo the qualification test. Upon receiving the decree at Hundred Xia Ridge, the subordinate branches, remote branches, scattered branches, and allied forces within the Ten Great Spirit Domains such as Eternal Night, Chong Yue, Da Yin, and Ten Thousand Peaks also welcomed the Treasure Ships and Upper Envoys within half a month. In merely half a month, the atmosphere within the Ten Great Spirit Domains radically transformed, and countless promising young talents raced to the various Treasure Ships, forging a formidable wave of enthusiasm.

In just two days, Zhao Yu Yan returned to Brocade City in a rush with sixteen younger members. By the time he arrived with the juniors at the edge of the vast square on the Floating Island, the square was already teeming with people. At this moment, one young cultivator after another lined up to ascend the Cloud Ladder and enter the Treasure Ship in sequence. Below the Cloud Ladder, the long queue stretched almost to the end of the Sixth Square, with at least a thousand people. As for the watching cultivators, they crowded the square in throngs, so numerous that it was hard to estimate. Zhao Yu Yan, witnessing this, hurriedly led the juniors to the end of the queue, commencing the long wait. He stood in the queue himself, gazing far off at the colossal Treasure Ship with eyes filled with longing mixed with a degree of trepidation.

Zhao Yu Yan, just over three hundred years old, had already reached the Nascent Soul Perfect Realm in cultivation. At such a young age, achieving such a high cultivation level was not only due to his possession of an Earth Spirit Body but also because he was born with an extremely high comprehension. Thus, Zhao Yu Yan also desired to seize this heaven-defying opportunity to transform his destiny. After waiting for nearly a day, Zhao Yu Yan led the sixteen juniors to board the silvery Treasure Ship under the cover of night. An hour later, they disembarked the ship with dejected expressions, save for Zhao Yu Yan, who bore a smile on his lips. If there were no surprises, he might be among the hundred chosen.

Inverted Mountain. The sky was dark, and a gray smog enveloped Inverted Mountain. Zhao Sheng sat cross-legged in the middle of a stone house, as the surrounding ground had been newly repaired. The Stone Spirit was immensely bored, rolling around the ground constantly, occasionally letting out cries like 'chop chop'.

'Chop? Why hasn't the old Bone arrived yet? If he doesn’t come soon, I’ll just swallow the Small Wind Stabilizing Pearl.' The Stone Spirit was tired of rolling and suddenly leaped several feet high, shouting loudly. Zhao Sheng continued to rest with his eyes closed, as if he hadn’t heard anything. Seeing this, the Stone Spirit became anxious, its red crystal eyes rolling around, and then it suddenly plunged into the ground and vanished. Moments later, Zhao Sheng abruptly opened his eyes, then stood up and walked out of the stone house. After stepping out, he noticed a mysterious figure in a dark robe standing quietly a few yards away. Zhao Sheng stopped, straightened himself, and respectfully said, 'Greetings to Senior Gu Yu.' The mysterious figure spoke in a hoarse voice, 'Where is the Small Wind Stabilizing Pearl?'

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng silently retrieved a gray pouch from his chest and casually tossed it over. The mysterious figure eagerly received the pouch, then poured out a crystalline bead from it. Within the bead was a swirling green vortex, a manifestation of the Wind Rule. 'Very good, you are indeed a trustworthy person!' The mysterious figure quickly put away the Small Wind Stabilizing Pearl, not forgetting to offer praise. Zhao Sheng smiled and said, 'Does Senior wish to continue trading with me? Besides the Small Wind Stabilizing Pearl, I can procure any treasure as long as Senior is willing to pay the price.' The mysterious figure snorted, suddenly shouting, 'Such arrogant words! Can you also obtain an Immortal Soul for me?' Zhao Sheng shook his head decisively, 'No! If Senior is insincere, then our trades can end here.' These words directly challenged the mysterious figure. Clearly, the mysterious figure was reluctant to lose an excellent trading partner.
