Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Zhao Sheng suddenly sensed something, and turned around to see the approaching person was a red-haired woman. He nodded slightly and, after sending a message through his Divine Thought, disappeared from where he stood.

The red-haired woman perceived the information in her mind, and was immediately overjoyed. Without hesitation, she hurriedly walked towards the depths of the high tower.

The moment this woman appeared in the high tower, she became the center of everyone's attention. Exclamations could be heard from the crowd, calling her the Red Cloud Immortal.

However, the Red Cloud Immortal, Zhao Yueru, had no time to care about others' reactions. Her heart was filled with excitement and joy.

A moment later, Zhao Yueru entered the underground of the high tower through a secret door in a corner of the tower.

The underground fortress cluster of the high tower was more than ten times the size of the buildings on the surface.

It's safe to say that the entire underground of Zhao's Station had been hollowed out, replaced by a continuous underground maze and a gigantic super fortress city unimaginable to outsiders!

In terms of earthworks and construction, the Southern Sky Zhao Family excellently inherited their ancestor Zhao Xuanjing's fine tradition, now on par with the Ksitigarbha Sect, and even both hailed as the two wonders of the world!

Holding a Token, Zhao Yueru wandered through the densely packed Underground Maze, making several turns before finally stepping into an underground stone room.

The stone room was quite large, a hundred paces in length and width, with walls as smooth as mirrors. Soft, bright light emanated from the stone walls, illuminating the dim stone room.

At this time, an elder in a green robe, who Zhao Sheng had transformed into, stood with his back to the door, in front of the innermost stone wall, seemingly observing something.

Zhao Yueru took a deep breath, quickly stepped forward, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Zhao Yueru of the Shen Character Lineage, pays respects to the Ancestor!"

Zhao Sheng heard this, turned around, and nodded gently, saying, "Rise!"

"Yes, Ancestor," Zhao Yueru responded, rising to stand respectfully to the side.

Zhao Sheng kindly asked, "Little Yue'er, three months ago, I taught you the Water and Fire Annihilation Technique. To what extent have you grasped it? Have you begun to understand it?"

At these words, Zhao Yueru's heart tightened, and she quickly replied, "Reporting to Ancestor, the Water and Fire Annihilation Technique is too profound and obscure. Yueru has practiced arduously for three months, attempting over ten thousand times. But so far, I haven't grasped even the slightest bit of it."

Zhao Sheng's eyes narrowed, "Oh, is that so. Come, practice it again in front of me."

Zhao Yueru nodded in affirmation, then retreated to the center of the stone room, her expression suddenly becoming exceedingly solemn.

Whoosh~

The light in the stone room suddenly dimmed. Zhao Yueru extended her left hand, and a jet-black, ink-like liquid flowed from her palm, rising into the air, swiftly transforming into a fist-sized pitch-black Water Ball.

Simultaneously, she extended her right hand, her entire arm igniting with burning flames, and a blue Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire rose from her palm, standing opposite the pitch-black Water Ball at a distance of no more than three feet.

Zhao Yueru formed a spell with both hands, then suddenly shouted, "Attract!"

Before the words even fell, a line of Water and Fire split from the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire and pitch-black Water Ball respectively, colliding with each other like lightning.

Boom!

With a loud detonation, a large patch of chilling air appeared out of thin air in the Upper Sky of the stone room. The countless sparks from the Thunder Fire explosion were snuffed out by the cold air before they could scatter.

Zhao Yueru pressed her lips tightly, unwilling to fail. She immediately swept away the cold air with her sleeve, continuing to form spells with both hands, attempting the Water and Fire Collision again.

She attempted this over a dozen times until both the Thunder Fire and Water Ball were exhausted, but she still did not see even a glimmer of success.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng sighed secretly, thinking to himself, "The Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire is derived from the Boundary Membrane; the Ten Thousand Transformation Weak Water comes from the deepest part of the Spiritual Abyss. Both are extremely opposite in attributes and symbolize life and death duality. From the final deduction results, the probability of recreating the Power of Annihilation should not be small. Could it be that the strength of the Golden Core Realm is not enough?

That may be so, as the Golden Core Realm only possesses Divine Sense and has not transformed into Divine Thought, likely inadequate to control such ultra-fine and subtle reactions. But... cultivators of the Nascent Soul Realm who are dual practitioners of water and fire are too rare. Besides Yueru, who has some hope, there is no second person in the family. There are actually seven or eight backup candidates among the Foundation Establishment Clan Members, but it would take at least five or six hundred years to wait."

Lost in thoughts, countless ideas flashed through Zhao Sheng's mind in an instant.

Zhao Yueru saw him standing there silently, a look of fear flashed across her face, worried about disappointing the Ancestor and missing the great opportunity.

At that moment, Zhao Sheng suddenly looked over at her, waved his right hand, and a gray Storage Bag flew out from the bottom of his sleeve.

Seeing this, Zhao Yueru smiled broadly, reached out, and caught the flying Storage Bag.

"Little Yue'er, the essence of the Annihilation Technique is extremely pure and simple, but mastering it is no easy task. You must diligently practice and train hard when you return. Additionally, the Ancestor reminds you once more, the Annihilation Technique is the supreme legacy of our clan, leading directly to Divinity Transformation. You must never share this with anyone, not even your father, Zhao Hongyan!"

While speaking, Zhao Sheng imprinted all relevant experiences and various execution details onto a Jade Scroll, then casually tossed it to Zhao Yueru.

Zhao Yueru appeared very excited, hurriedly caught the Jade Scroll, and bowed deeply, "The Ancestor's teaching, Yueru will remember in her heart, and dare not forget!"

Zhao Sheng nodded, "Mm, you may leave."

"Yes, Yueru takes her leave!"

Zhao Yueru quickly exited the stone room, excitedly returning to the surface.

In the stone room, Zhao Sheng once again turned to face the stone wall, observing for a while before slowly extending his right hand.
