Once we return, let’s see how you’ll explain yourself to the Ancestor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mingxue was so anxious that he kept rubbing his hands and chattering to Zhao Sheng with a look of heartache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have my own plans. I’ll handle Fei Hong Ancestor personally.\" Zhao Sheng glanced at him and, after speaking, walked towards a street stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Chen Mingxue meant well, he wasn’t aware of the situation and didn’t understand Fengfengzi’s might at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, this person dismembered a Half-Immortal of the Void with a single move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Fengfengzi wanted, he could kill everyone on this street in a flash and ensure you’d die in confusion, with no idea what happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... you... wait for me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his retreating back, Chen Mingxue’s lips quivered with anger. He stomped his foot fiercely and hurried after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, Zhao Sheng halted at a stall. He pointed to a blueish piece of crystal iron on the stall and asked, \"How is this Deep Space Thunder Iron traded?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stall owner replied, \"Seven grains of Space-Time Sand or equivalent top-grade spiritual stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stall owner was a brawny giant, whose upper body was taller than an average person even while sitting on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng calmly said, \"Too high! I’ll take it for three top-grade spiritual stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deal!\" The stall owner agreed more readily than expected, surprising Zhao Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling that he had made a profit, Zhao Sheng immediately placed three top-grade spiritual stones on the stall before taking away the Deep Space Thunder Iron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the stall owner also thought he had profited because Deep Space Cold Iron was abundant in his world and not worth three top-grade spiritual stones at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps this is the charm of trading across the heavens!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes an item worthless to you might be incredibly valuable to someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the transaction, Zhao Sheng didn’t leave but started chatting with the stall owner: \"I am Bai Mei. May I know how to address you, Taoist friend?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am Sha Jiutong.\" The stall owner raised his head, revealing an unusually flat, pallid face with crude features looking as if drawn with a crayon, appearing both comical and eerie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at this bizarre face, Zhao Sheng remained composed and continued, \"Taoist Sha, have you also received an invitation from Senior Fengfengzi?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Jiutong chuckled, \"Young friend, no need to beat around the bush. It’s fine to tell you. Not only I but most people on this street have received an invitation from Senior Feng.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng was slightly surprised, not expecting Fengfengzi to have such major plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just how many people has Fengfengzi invited?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Zhao Sheng asked a few more questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Jiutong was unexpectedly easygoing, readily answering all his questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhao Sheng got up to leave, Sha Jiutong finally expressed his intention: \"I find you pleasing. How about traveling together on the journey?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng’s heart stirred, and he smiled, \"I couldn’t ask for more, but besides me, Taoist Sha, have you invited anyone else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good question! Besides us two, three other friends have also agreed to travel together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng nodded thoughtfully, \"Five people is just right to form a team. Any more might make things chaotic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe! I thought the same.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s settle it then, Taoist Sha. Until next time!\" Zhao Sheng cupped his hands to Sha Jiutong and then left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the next hour, Zhao Sheng walked through most of the street, visiting dozens of stalls, asking the same questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although not everyone was as ’honest’ as Sha Jiutong, he pieced together part of the truth from his inquiries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out Sha Jiutong wasn’t lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fengfengzi had been conducting Dharma transmissions and teachings here for years, inviting many and promising generous rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The recruitment order was just one of the rewards; others included Magical Treasure Talismans, Divine Skills and True Techniques, elixirs, Heaven and Earth Strange Objects, and various treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, the scale of his efforts far exceeded Zhao Sheng’s expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng spent half a day on the long street until the space-time repulsion grew rapidly stronger, bringing Chen Mingxue back ’offline.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a whirlwind, the Pale Vortex vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Open eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dim, enormous tree hollow appeared before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng looked around and immediately saw Chen Mingxue nearby, whose eyes quickly dimmed down, becoming indifferent and blank again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His whole body became like a wooden figure, frozen on the spot, with countless dark blue vein-like lines bulging under his exposed skin, writhing incessantly like living creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up and saw Fei Hong Ancestor, seated on a cushion, slowly open his eyes, gazing sharply at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phew~ Burial Immortal Ruins are indeed mysterious and unpredictable. I never imagined such mystical spiritual realms exist among the Universe Worlds. It’s a pity the Parasitic Technique doesn’t work here. Otherwise, I’d personally... hmm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fei Hong Ancestor first marveled, then wore a regretful expression, and finally pondered, \"This Fengfengzi... unfathomable! Surely an Upper Realm Great Ability without a doubt. You’ve done well, Xi’er. We must not offend this person!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Ancestor, for understanding! I witnessed with my own eyes how Senior Fengfengzi killed a Half-Immortal of the Void in an instant. Therefore, when he extended the invitation, I couldn’t refuse and had to agree.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sss! Is this true?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Absolutely true!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",899,"2026-05-29T05:57:05.242Z","2026-06-01T04:29:22.731Z",1,"novelbin.me","8a0add1c30bb14fe0dcc10da8d003319b50850bf1c4833a2e344fa77548cbfd1","cultivating-for-a-hundred-lifetimes-to-ascension-chapter-1025","cultivating-for-a-hundred-lifetimes-to-ascension-chapter-1023",1751,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-for-a-hundred-lifetimes-to-ascension-cover.jpg"]
