Or… portal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuimu Xiao paused for a moment, then slowly said, “Por… tal!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…” Qi Wu Yan’s expression changed, his tone becoming very heavy: “Senior Shi’s fate is unknown! Please, Senior Kui Mu, act once more, you must find out Senior Shi’s whereabouts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he finished speaking, Kuimu Xiao refused firmly: “No… way!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Zhao Sheng and the others could ask, Kuimu Xiao explained intermittently: “This… water… is… strange… I… can’t… hold… on… long… leave… quickly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Wu Yan listened, his expression darkened, and his eyes soon fell on Zhao Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This place is not suitable for lingering, leaving quickly is best!” Zhao Sheng pondered briefly, decisively abandoning the plan to search for Stone Jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, they had no prior friendship; the reason they gathered was all thanks to Qi Wu Yan’s efforts. Why then would he risk staying for a stranger?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Wu Yan listened and nodded silently, no longer trying to find Stone Jade’s whereabouts. After all, one stone courting death can’t blame others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, under Kuimu Xiao’s guidance, Zhao Sheng and Qi Wu Yan ventured deep underwater along the vines, finding a “portal” nearly a thousand feet deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The portal here was dark, without light, completely undiscoverable unless touched by hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing this, Zhao Sheng couldn’t help but feel lucky; if not for Kuimu Xiao accompanying him, he wouldn’t know when he’d discover such a hidden portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Wu Yan, being the weakest, dared not linger in Weak Water; upon reaching the portal, he rushed inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng’s gaze fell on top of the portal, surprisingly seeing a line of blood-red words: “Zhao Wuming, you’re doomed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe! Playing tricks again… My fate is mine, not Heaven’s.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a cold laugh, Zhao Sheng opened his mouth to spit out a tiny tripod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the small tripod grew to several feet in size, its lid flew off, and countless Weak Water swiftly poured into the Immortal Awakening Tripod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weak Water is one of the Innate Divine Waters, considered extremely rare!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng wouldn’t miss the opportunity, naturally storing as much as he could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, the lid settled back, the Immortal Awakening Tripod shrank countless times, and with a flash, flew into Zhao Sheng’s mouth, disappearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Zhao Sheng turned around, quickly passing through the portal, vanishing without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Kuimu Xiao hurriedly retracted his original form, his massive tree body shrinking rapidly, instantly becoming several feet in size, quickly rushing into the portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Stone Jade?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Heaven knows if he’s alive or dead!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just passing through the portal, Zhao Sheng felt a pressure fall out of nowhere, causing his body to sink slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, just as Zhao Sheng was unable to see his surroundings clearly, a dark red giant claw suddenly appeared, fiercely striking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud bang, Zhao Sheng’s right hand clenched into a fist, its force hitting the center of the giant claw brutally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark red giant claw instantly shattered, transforming into countless blood light, dissipating completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng’s gaze swept across, taking in the surrounding scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was likewise a vast pure white space, with portals embedded in the four directions: southeast, northwest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the western portal emitted a faint blood-red light, as did the portal behind Zhao Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the other two portals were lines of blood-red words: “Winner advance” and “Loser cannot enter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Qi Wu Yan was barely holding his ground against two enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Zhao Sheng appear, he was overjoyed, hastily shouting, “Senior Zhao, make a move!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhao Sheng turned his head towards the distant enemies, then suddenly flashed, appearing behind a cold elder with blue armor and green hair, lifting a fist and striking his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caught off guard, the cold elder was hit directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold elder’s face changed drastically, feeling a sharp pain surge through his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With unimaginable force crashing into his body, the cold elder’s body and Primordial Spirit both became powder, unable to even scream before dying instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Qi Wu Yan wielded a Green Jade Horn, which continuously spewed large patches of poison flames, covering several feet around him, barely resisting the dark red blood light’s erosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The source of the dark red blood light was a blood-red lotus, as large as a grindstone, with a red-bearded elder three inches tall sitting in the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-bearded elder’s cultivation was profound, emanating a mighty oppressive force covering the entire space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person’s strength was extraordinary, definitely above the Returning to Void level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing a formidable enemy appear, the red-bearded elder’s expression slightly changed, suddenly maneuvering the Blood Lotus, retreating dozens of feet swiftly, while looking coldly towards Zhao Sheng’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a figure suddenly emerged through the western portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newcomer held a Door Board Giant Axe, over three feet tall, body burly as a mountain, with an azure face and sharp teeth, a single vertical pupil occupying half his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This individual’s distinct features were too prominent; Zhao Sheng recognized him instantly, undoubtedly from the One-eyed Giant tribe, renowned across the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill!” As soon as the One-eyed Giant appeared, he excitedly roared, raising the giant axe in his hand, striding towards Qi Wu Yan, the nearest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Wu Yan’s face changed abruptly, without hesitation flying backward, instantly hiding behind Zhao Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng squinted, his Will Field surged, conjuring a Thunder Spear out of thin air, the spear tip targeting the giant’s single eye, killing intent soaring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the One-eyed Giant suddenly halted, sheepishly lowered the giant axe, and slowly retreated to the red-bearded elder’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Kuimu Xiao also happened to pass through the portal, appearing here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly assessed the situation, immediately joining Zhao Sheng and Qi Wu Yan, releasing his towering presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three against two, the advantage is ours!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing off briefly, the red-bearded elder grew increasingly wary of the opposing side’s unfathomable depths, especially the Human Clan Cultivator wielding the Thunder Spear, extremely dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, Zhao Sheng had already conferred with Qi Wu Yan and Kuimu Xiao countless times, secretly devising a strategy: avoid fighting if possible, test the waters first, then decide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am Tuohechi, may I inquire your distinguished name?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng’s Will Field was stirred by another will wave, suddenly hearing a dispassionate voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am Zhao Wuming; do you wish to fight or kill?” Zhao Sheng responded in kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, how does one say about fighting, and what about killing?” The red-bearded elder immediately retorted, yet his voice remained devoid of emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng coldly chuckled: “Fighting means deciding victory without determining life or death. Killing is simple, winner takes all, loser dies!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have a proposal; before taking action, why don’t we test if those two portals are passable?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a coincidence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-bearded elder’s words were precisely what Zhao Sheng intended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Zhao Sheng quickly nodded, transmitting: “Agreed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he informed Qi Wu Yan and Kuimu Xiao, both expressing no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-bearded elder’s expression softened, turning to signal the One-eyed Giant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The One-eyed Giant understood, promptly hoisting the giant axe, striding towards the eastern portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The One-eyed Giant crashed into the portal, instantly flung backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing up, he tried again, this time falling even harder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The One-eyed Giant angrily bore the pain, unwillingly attempting another portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Same result, disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuimu Xiao observed, mimicked the One-eyed Giant, and tried to cross the portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, the outcome was similar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing schemes fail, the atmosphere suddenly intensified, becoming extremely tense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You Jiu, back off!” The red-bearded elder glanced at Zhao Sheng, coldly uttering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The One-eyed Giant felt pardoned, hurriedly retreating toward the initial portal entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng watched coldly, secretly gesturing the other two to hold back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, that portal was impregnable, not permitting re-exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Witnessing this, Zhao Sheng’s eyes flashed with overwhelming killing intent, shouting loudly, his Thunder Spear shooting out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same moment, numerous Thunder Spears manifested, like a storm, shooting toward the red-bearded elder, instantly blocking all escape routes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Wu Yan and Kuimu Xiao delayed by a moment, then suddenly acted simultaneously, both attacking the One-eyed Giant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, a deadly battle erupted unexpectedly!\u003C\u002Fp>",1398,"2026-05-29T05:57:19.464Z","2026-06-01T04:29:22.731Z",1,"novelbin.me","30239bba26ecb85d8fdea875c475e5c1c47b53454cd5b552b4291b8af1c30786","cultivating-for-a-hundred-lifetimes-to-ascension-chapter-1443","cultivating-for-a-hundred-lifetimes-to-ascension-chapter-1441",1751,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-for-a-hundred-lifetimes-to-ascension-cover.jpg"]
