it’s clearly a Ten Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers painting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wolong Mountain Range spans tens of thousands of miles, yet such vast territory is fully encompassed within, every detail vividly clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon Head Peak, Dragon Claw Peak… Spirit Beast Mountain, Hidden River, Jiao River… countless mountains and rivers all presented within this painting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to resist, Zhao Sheng flies near the river canvas, releasing a strand of Divine Thought, probing into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, the Mountain and Rivers painting undergoes another astonishing transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the perception of Divine Thought, the lifelike mountains, lakes, and rivers suddenly fade away, replaced by a densely intricate, vibrant “network.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Wolong Mountain Range is likened to a human body, then the “network” is like numerous veins and meridians spread throughout the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, Zhao Sheng clearly sees that those networks emitting bright radiance are precisely networks of Spirit Veins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The largest main Spirit Vein network resembles a skeletal structure supporting the body’s framework, densely stretching from beneath Wolong Mountain Range up to the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Spirit Vein network is likened to a skeletal structure, then the mountains, rivers, lakes are like pieces of flesh and blood, countless plants akin to the body’s skin and hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a magnificent “Ten Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers”!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he observes the “painting” before him, the more Zhao Sheng is astounded, feeling the old Taoist’s gesture held immense significance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outwardly just a painting, but in reality, it teaches you how to “open a Grotto Heaven” step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this painting in hand, when he opens a Grotto Heaven, he can perfectly “replicate” the Wolong Mountain Range inside, saving him countless Heart Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Zhao Sheng realizes clearly, Wu Hua the old Taoist long ago saw through his details, knowing he had not yet broken through Unification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the old Taoist intentionally did not point it out, and even voluntarily gifted this “generous gift.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, Zhao Sheng’s debt of “favor” has become enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A while later, the painting re-gathers, transforming into a Flowing Light, returning into the sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After putting away the painting, Zhao Sheng suddenly sighs lightly, then vanishes into thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine Palace Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the vast, infinite darkness of the Void, astonishingly floats an enormous, broken, peculiar skeleton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeleton, large as a mountain, with bones of a black hue, looks like a weathered whale skeleton, its lower half missing, leaving only a huge, tattered skull and half a chest frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Thunder abruptly emerges from the darkness, striking the skeleton’s surface, instantly sparking a flood of multicolored “Electric Light,” densely traversing through the skeleton’s interior, soon absorbed by the nearby bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atop the enormous black skull, remarkably sits a figure; who else could it be but Zhao Sheng?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the All Heaven Star Map in hand, Zhao Sheng follows its guidance and smoothly finds this prime cultivation location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vast skeleton beneath him was once an Ancient Thunder Whale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancient Thunder Whales are among the Ancient True Spirits, said to be born bathing in Thunder, naturally children of Thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though only a broken skeleton remains here, it can still attract vast Thunder Power. Undoubtedly, this is the best place for Thunder Cultivators to practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passes, strands of Thunder Dao “Spirit Mechanism” are pulled in by an invisible force, pouring continuously into Zhao Sheng’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every refined strand of Tao Spirit Mechanism advances his cultivation a bit further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than a few months, Zhao Sheng’s cultivation has surged to the Late Stage of Returning Void Eighth Layer, nearing the threshold of Returning Void Ninth Layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If other Half-Immortals of the Void witnessed this scene, they would surely be envious, perhaps even envious enough to “weep bitterly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can you imagine the despair of cultivation stagnating, forever seeing no hope of breakthrough, cultivation realm halted for thousands or tens of thousands of years?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng can hardly fathom the “despair” his fellow Returning Void cultivators feel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he has long comprehended nine Thunder Dao True Texts, as long as cultivation resources suffice, advancing to Returning Void Ninth Layer Great Perfection is merely a matter of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After an unknown length of time, Zhao Sheng suddenly feels a spark of spirit light, as if hearing a thunderous sound from within, the thunder vortex in the Core Energy Sea suddenly expanding nearly double its size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, the barrier of Returning Void Eighth Layer is easily broken, like a natural flow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hoo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng exhales deeply, the radiance around him gradually receding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he suddenly opens his eyes, chuckles lightly, then vanishes without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burial Immortal Ruins, Endless Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering Endless Tower once more, Zhao Sheng feels as if a thousand years passed in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene before him is almost unchanged from a thousand years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An endless corridor, ancient gray-white wooden boards, sparse and quiet workshop…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that the Immortal Ruins Guests selling treasures here have been replaced over and over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking around, he sees no familiar faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng remains calm, unhurriedly finding an empty spot, sitting cross-legged.\u003C\u002Fp>",985,"2026-05-29T05:57:19.464Z","2026-06-01T04:29:22.731Z",1,"novelbin.me","b892cedf920af284473ac185142476e9a8363be3af1e7e32ac8c07a84e136bde","cultivating-for-a-hundred-lifetimes-to-ascension-chapter-1440","cultivating-for-a-hundred-lifetimes-to-ascension-chapter-1438",1751,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-for-a-hundred-lifetimes-to-ascension-cover.jpg"]
