Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Zhao Sheng watched the four fly back to the island, smiled slightly, then flashed and disappeared into thin air.

An hour later, Zhao Sheng appeared in a new sea vortex, within the territory of the Sect of Dominion.

Zhao Sheng repeated his actions, once again successfully looting a large amount of treasures and scriptures, then moved to the next sea vortex.

After two days, he visited the Five Sea Eyes, where a scene of submission and harmony prevailed, hardly anyone dared to defy the will of a Divinity Transformation True Monarch.

The sun set and the moon rose, stars filled the sky.

After plundering the Five Sea Eyes, Zhao Sheng felt slightly relieved, carrying heaps of Space Storage Seal back to his secret cave mansion.

With the protection of the Star God, as long as he does not leave the Wuzhou Sea, the troubled Blood God is completely unable to detect his existence.

This is one of the main reasons he acts with such impunity.

Zhao Sheng's tunneling light flew thousands of miles, when suddenly a melodious and long song drifted into his ears:

"The sea of suffering is boundless, wanting to cross with a small boat, the wind is high and the waves are fierce, wishing to balance with an oar... The Dao is like the sea, difficult beyond compare, forget the coming and going..."

Zhao Sheng stopped his tunneling light, looked around to follow the sound, just in time to see a small boat appearing through the clouds, on the boat a clear figure, with a transcendent and extraordinary demeanor.

In an instant, the small boat came from afar, stopping about a mile away, the boat's passenger, hair flying and face pale, turned out to be an old man in a straw coat full of spirit.

Zhao Sheng's slightly furrowed brow calmed down, he suddenly laughed freely and nodded, saying: "So it's an old acquaintance! Congratulations to Ancestor Master for successful cultivation, advancing to the rank of True Monarch."

"The title of Ancestor Master is too much for me, this old worthless one is just a guardian dog, how can I compare to the God Slaying True Monarch known across the Three Realms." The gatekeeping elder respectfully bowed from afar, speaking solemnly.

Zhao Sheng's smile faded, he said plainly: "Domination, Heavenly Balance, and the Three Desolations dare not show their faces, yet let you come forth, it seems the future of the Heavenly Dao Sect is worrisome!"

The Ancestor Master said seriously: "Our sect owes it entirely to you for today's fortunes! Yet this old one comes today, not to argue right or wrong with you, just to inquire a few questions."

"Haha, what you want to ask is nothing more than why I dared to sneak into the Netherworld, what purpose I have for coming here, why the Star God changed, and other trivial questions.

Let me tell you openly, and incidentally inform Domination, Heavenly Balance, and others. My sole purpose for coming is: to slay the god by heaven's will, death is certain!"

Upon hearing this, the gatekeeping elder's face struggled to maintain calm, immediately displaying an expression of disbelief and shock.

No matter how hard he thought, he could not imagine an Otherworldly God could be so foolish, no, so determined!

Clearly having thousands of years of carefree time to enjoy, yet intending to challenge the high and mighty Blood God Venerable.

What kind of persistent spirit is this? It can only be described with the words great fearless!

The gatekeeping elder scrutinized repeatedly left and right, only seeing an indifferent and composed face.

But when his gaze met the other's, he instantly saw the resolute faith within.

Somehow, the gatekeeping elder chose to believe, and soon was convinced without doubt!

It's known that the Blood God has exerted control over the Netherworld and the Two Realms for tens of thousands of years, devouring past generations of Divinity Transformation True Monarchs.

For tens of thousands of years, countless peerless talents from the Two Realms rose to rebel, but the outcomes always ended in failure, and the gatekeeping elder was once one of them, only he eventually became timid and retreated.

The gatekeeping elder's demeanor softened, solemnly bowing deeply to Zhao Sheng, not rising for a long while.

Zhao Sheng graciously accepted this great ceremony, then waved his hand sending out a stream to raise the other up.

"Fellow Taoist, when returning, perhaps you could inform Domination, Heavenly Balance, Three Desolations, and others. There are over twenty Seven Star Ruyi, all held by the Southern Sky Zhao Family. If you wish to use the cross-border transmission array, you may voluntarily contact the Southern Sky Zhao Family in the future. This was spoken with all my heart, believe or not is entirely up to you!"

The gatekeeping elder's face changed slightly, involuntarily clenching the oar in his hand.

Zhao Sheng ignored the other's small actions, saying matter-of-factly: "In one to two months, the Wuzhou Sea will face a change in the heavens. By then, my cause and effect with the Blood God will conclude naturally, as for who lives or dies, heaven shall witness!"

The gatekeeping elder's mind was in turmoil, just about to open his mouth to ask.

But... Zhao Sheng gave him no chance to inquire, instantly flashing and disappearing into thin air before his eyes.

Days later, a top-secret message spread among the highest levels of the Netherworld Cultivation Realm, only a few aware of the details, besides the Divinity Transformation True Monarch himself, only the most valued disciples and juniors.

Everyone aware of the details were stunned, questioning the authenticity of this matter.

Because from beginning to end, this matter was filled with extreme oddity and absurdity, even a taste of the surreal!

Indeed!

Besides the gatekeeping elder, only those who had previously interacted with Zhao Sheng like Master Dominion, Shi Yao Ancestor, Heavenly Balance Ancestor, Sanhuang Old Immortals, and a few You Shen True Monarchs vaguely half-believed, everyone else mockingly ridiculed, not a single believer!

On the contrary, most thought that God Slaying True Monarch had brought a grand conspiracy to the Netherworld, which must be guarded against with utmost caution.

In no time, the Heavenly Dao Sect, Black Sky Sect, Heavenly Balance Sect, Asking Dao Sect, and Sect of Dominion all made significant moves, withdrawing batches of guardians from the Wuzhou Sea, while fully activating mountain gate arrays, wary of God Slaying True Monarch's assault.

The stance of the five major sects against this great enemy quickly triggered a chain reaction, major forces on the continents of the Netherworld immediately dispatched Special Envoys to visit the five major sects, while activating planted pieces aiming to uncover the truth of this upheaval.
