Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

It seems that the Prisoner God Palace Token is now perfectly suited for this situation.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng felt quite emotional, thinking to himself, "Fate in this world is truly indescribably wonderful!"

However, not only did he have no intention of meeting Zhao Linsong, he actually wanted to avoid him deliberately.

After all, he had angered the "Heavens," and to avoid bringing a great calamity upon the Zhao family, it was best not to have any contact with him.

At this moment, Master Granny seemed to have sensed something unusual and couldn't help but ask, "Taoist Zhao, you seem restless. Are you worried about the dangers of this trip?"

Zhao Sheng nodded accordingly, "Indeed, I am somewhat worried."

Master Granny said mysteriously, "No need to worry, Taoist. I assure you there is no danger in this journey! Once you meet the Deep Sea Spirit, you'll understand, and I might even benefit from you, Taoist!"

"Oh, really? I look forward to it!" Zhao Sheng raised an eyebrow and said thoughtfully.

After that, the two continued to wait for about half a month.

Until one day, the calm sea surface suddenly surged with huge waves, and an immense undersea vortex quickly surfaced with a thunderous roar before everyone's eyes.

Billions of tons of seawater were swept in all directions with the vortex, while the seawater at the center Sea Eye was instead cleared away, forming a huge "void" with a diameter of about one mile and unfathomable depth.

Overlooking the anomaly on the sea surface, Master Granny took out a palm-sized bronze talisman with a flick of her hand. The talisman emitted a shimmering green light, precisely pointing towards the Sea Eye below.

"Taoist friend, we should set off now!" Master Granny saw that Zhao Sheng seemed a bit absent-minded and softly reminded him.

As soon as she spoke, Zhao Sheng suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes regaining vitality, and nodded, "Alright, please lead the way, Granny!"

Master Granny said nothing upon hearing this, immediately plummeting into the Sea Eye, with Zhao Sheng following closely behind, instantly diving into the vortex.

The other cultivators holding talismans didn't notice that there were now two Absolute Peak experts among them; they just rushed into the Sea Eye, fearing they might be a step behind others.

A few breaths later, Zhao Sheng found himself at the bottom of the sea, ten thousand feet down, where an immense Crystal Palace stood before him. It covered an area of ten miles, was entirely transparent, and its outer walls shimmered with beautiful rainbow light.

The Crystal Palace had no great door, only a crystal archway over ten feet high stood in front of the palace, with a splendid Light Gate within the archway.

After flying to the top of the crystal archway following Master Granny, Zhao Sheng stopped and glanced around.

At this moment, dense water mist filled the surroundings, making the Crystal Palace before him seem dreamlike and ethereal, as if an Immortal Palace descended upon the mortal world.

Zhao Sheng slowly increased his vigilance, only to feel a majestic aura rising around the surrounding seawater, as if countless eyes were secretly observing him.

But to his surprise, Zhao Sheng didn't sense any obvious hostility; instead, he increasingly sensed strong goodwill emanating from the surrounding seawater.

Poof!

Just then, Zhao Sheng saw the surrounding water mist suddenly churn violently, followed by a grand and heavy voice suddenly surging into his mind, "Great Merit bearer, have you also come for the Prisoner God Palace?"

Zhao Sheng's eyes flickered, and he understood, conveying his message back through Divine Thought, "Indeed, I respectfully ask the Great Spirit to let me inside!"

"Since you are the Great Merit bearer, the Prisoner God Palace will open for you. The palace consists of seven layers, each holding several treasures and inheritances. Which layer does the Great Merit bearer wish to enter?"

Zhao Sheng glanced at Master Granny and then conveyed through Divine Thought, "I once heard that the palace possesses some Essence of Primordial Spirit. Is this true?"

"There is indeed Essence of Primordial Spirit, but I must advise caution. Though it can greatly enhance cultivation, it contains an absolutely toxic Primordial Soul, and consuming it would undoubtedly sever your future path. I hope the Great Merit bearer will consider this carefully!"

Zhao Sheng was shocked upon hearing this. If the Deep Sea Spirit hadn't reminded him, he would likely have fallen into the trap.

Previously, he wondered why Master Granny was so 'kind'; it turns out she had such an insidious killing move hidden.

Ultimately, Zhao Sheng was sent by the Tianzhu Realm, and Master Granny's plot against him this time was not surprising.

In reality, most Divinity Transformation True Monarchs don't aspire to cultivate to the Returning to Void Realm. In this respect, consuming the Essence of Primordial Spirit benefits them without any harm.

But for some True Monarchs with limitless potential, the Essence of Primordial Spirit is rightly considered the most terrifying poison in the world.

Having uncovered the opponent's plot, Zhao Sheng remained expressionless on the surface, but internally, he made a note of it, intending to repay the favor in kind in the future!

At this time, Master Granny seemed to know Zhao Sheng was communicating with the Deep Sea Spirit and didn't disturb him.

Only after their communication ended did she tentatively ask, "Taoist Zhao, have you completed your discussions with the Great Spirit?"

Zhao Sheng looked at the other cultivators entering the archway below, nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Yes, we have discussed it. Let's wait until all the little ones down there have gone in before we make our move."

Master Granny's face immediately showed joy when she heard this.

After a cup of tea's time, all the cultivators below had entered the Prisoner God Palace.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng slowly descended in front of the archway, as did Master Granny.

Rumble!

Accompanied by a sound like the crashing tide that emanated from the surrounding seawater, the splendid Light Gate before him suddenly emitted vast ripples, then cracked open a huge passage. At the end of the passage lay boundless white mist, obscuring the view within.
