Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension Chapter 1704 - 914: Another Zhao Sheng, the Shouxin Hall Grand Gathering

Yu Zhang Great Venerable surveyed the assembled crowd and declared, "Most everyone has arrived, thus the Shouxin Hall Gathering may commence. This venerable shall preside as before; no need for additional formalities, as I trust all are well-acquainted. Therefore... if any fellow Daoists possess treasures to offer, you may present them now!"

His words signaled the beginning of the exchanges.

Zhao Sheng retrieved a somewhat worn, grey bag from his robes and, opening its mouth, gently tipped it downwards.

In the following instant, a cascade of crystal-clear Cave Heaven Marrow Jade poured out, swiftly settling onto the lowest tier of the Magic Platform.

Immediately following, dozens of Magical Treasures clattered down, landing precisely on the second tier of the Magic Platform. Among these were the Soul Hook and the Bone Heaven Demon Umbrella, both recognized as top-grade Spiritual Treasures.

The third tier of the Magic Platform rapidly filled with an assortment of Principle Crystals, the quantity exceeding ten thousand.

Subsequently, the fourth and fifth tiers were adorned, respectively, with Cultivation Technique Jade Scrolls and scrolls detailing Cultivation Hundred Skills.

From the sixth tier downwards, the number of treasures dwindled to single digits.

Occupying the sixth tier was a Jade Eye Pearl, which contained the Spatial-Temporal Track Instrument Map for thirty-six Immortal Ruins Markets.

The seventh tier displayed two fragments of True Immortal Skeleton.

Zhao Sheng then placed a roll of Golden Silk Scroll onto the eighth tier. This scroll held a partial inscription of the Immortal Technique known as the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique."

For those powerhouse cultivators at the Integration Realm, the conventional Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, along with Heaven and Earth Strange Objects, held little significance.

In truth, if they were inclined, these cultivators could prodigiously

Zhao Sheng gently shook his head, gesturing towards the Golden Silk Scroll residing on the eighth tier. He communicated, "Great Venerable, kindly observe this scroll; it contains a fragment of an Immortal Law. Should this pique your interest, perhaps a trade for another Immortal Technique Fragment could be arranged."

With this singular statement, Zhao Sheng elegantly sidestepped the Great Venerable Yu Zhang's proposal while simultaneously showcasing his formidable background.

The Great Venerable Yu Zhang's gaze lingered for a moment before he swiftly replied, "Might I inquire as to the source of this Immortal Technique Fragment, Mr. Zhao? Could you elaborate on this Immortal Law for me?"

Zhao Sheng deftly skirted the origin of the Immortal Law, immediately launching into an explanation of the profound intricacies of the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique." After a period of half an hour, both the True Immortal Skeleton from the seventh tier and the Golden Silk Scroll from the eighth tier had been acquired by the Great Venerable Yu Zhang through exchange.

In return, Zhao Sheng secured a partial Immortal Scripture titled the "Tai Shi Yuan Yuan Scripture," along with the method for refining the Immortal Artifact known as the "Nine Yang Divine Fire Pillar."

"Taoist Zhao, this old one has a pressing need for a substantial quantity of Cave Heaven Marrow Jade and Earth Attribute Principle Crystals. I wonder if you might be able to procure what I require for the upcoming Shouxin Hall Gathering. In return, this elder possesses a cultivation method passed down from antiquity, concerning Ancient Immortal Qi Refinement..."

Upon hearing of the Ancient Immortal Qi Refinement method, Zhao Sheng's interest was immediately piqued, and he eagerly requested further details concerning it.

After a brief pause, he assented to the request, making a firm commitment to bring no less than one hundred thousand Cave Heaven Marrow Jade and two thousand Earth Attribute Principle Crystals to the next gathering.

As time progressed, the majority of the treasures that Zhao Sheng presented were acquired by others, and in turn, he successfully obtained numerous cherished items.

Following the twentieth Ruins, the Immortal Ruins Guests who had reached the Returning to Void Realm were the first to succumb to the spatial-time repulsion, logging off one after another.

Ultimately, a mere twenty-one individuals remained within the Shouxin Hall, all of whom were cultivators at the Integration and Tribulation Crossing Realms.

At this juncture, the Great Venerable Yu Zhang once more rose and made a public declaration: "The less preoccupied have departed. We may now commence with the final phase. This venerable shall lead by example."

With those words, the Great Venerable Yu Zhang swept his immense sleeve, releasing thousands upon thousands of Golden Pearls that subsequently suspended themselves in the mid-air.

Each Golden Pearl, approximately an inch in diameter, appeared unremarkable on the surface, yet concealed a profound mystery.

"This venerable has brought a total of one thousand four hundred and ninety-seven Dao Golden Pearls. Fellow Daoists from across the heavens, the established rules remain unchanged, it is still a one-to-one exchange, provided your offering meets this venerable's approval."

The instant these words were uttered, Jiang Qianyuan, speaking for the first time, declared, "I shall go first!"

Having spoken, he retrieved several dozen Golden Pearls of identical specification from within his robes. He then enveloped a Dao Golden Pearl with his Heart Light before calmly dispatching it towards the Great Venerable Yu Zhang.

The so-called Dao Golden Pearl is, in essence, a golden bead imbued with a Dao True Text.

Each and every Dao Golden Pearl contains a single Dao True Text.

As previously established, a Venerable in the Tribulation Crossing Realm aspiring to ascend during the day must have comprehended at least one thousand Dao True Texts, all originating from the same Dao.

For cultivators of higher echelons, those surpassing the Returning to Void Realm, the greater the number of Dao True Texts they comprehend, the swifter their progress and the higher their likelihood of achieving a breakthrough.

Consequently, the most significant advantage conferred by the Shouxin Hall Gathering is the assembly of these potent cultivators from the myriad heavens.

Many hail from disparate Middle Thousand Spirit Realms, with their respective domains often separated by tens of millions of Constant Years. This vast separation permits all present to freely exchange a diverse array of Magic Skills and Dao True Texts.

He extricated several dozen Golden Pearls of identical specification from his bosom, first shrouding a single Dao Golden Pearl with Heart Light, then serenely conveying it towards the Great Venerable Yu Zhang.

What is termed a Dao Golden Pearl is fundamentally a golden orb bearing the Dao True Text.

Within each Dao Golden Pearl resides one Dao True Text.

As previously elucidated, any Tribulation Crossing Realm Venerable aiming for a daytime ascension must possess comprehension of a minimum of one thousand Dao True Texts, all stemming from an identical Dao.

For cultivators operating at elevated levels, specifically those who have progressed beyond the Returning to Void Realm, the more Dao True Texts they have mastered, the accelerated their advancement becomes, and the greater the probability of a successful breakthrough.

Thus, the paramount benefit derived from the Shouxin Hall Gathering is the congregation of these formidable cultivators drawn from all corners of the heavens.

A significant portion originates from various Middle Thousand Spirit Realms, with their respective domains frequently separated by millennia of Constant Years, thereby enabling all participants to freely engage in the exchange of diverse Magic Skills and Dao True Texts.
