Or... is there simply no Life Path at all, and this is just a place of no return, a Dead Land!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, this is by no means a Dead Land!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, he might have overlooked some crucial detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng suddenly closed his eyes, and a vivid image of a \"small town\" slowly emerged in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rivers meander densely, willows sway on both banks, bluestone roads extend, bustling with pedestrians, shops line the streets, very lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Small courtyards of green bricks and tiles are distributed along the river, looking elegant and exquisite, filled with ancient fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, the entire town seemed alive, constantly playing out scenes of stories of all living beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At one point, the Ten Thousand Temple suddenly manifested. Zhao Sheng’s vision quickly shrank, locking onto the Hell Creatures Painting in a temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Netherworld like the sea, countless heads floated on the sea surface, every face twisted in fear, cries shaking the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ghostly creatures crowded by the sea, one by one pushed into the sea, quickly swallowed by the seawater, never to reincarnate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flaw is right here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng abruptly opened his eyes, feeling extremely excited; he finally found a sliver of chance to escape this heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, he suddenly recalled a neglected detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is, there were new ghosts born in other Hell Creatures Paintings, only this Netherworld Sea Death Map did not have a single new ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He should have thought of it earlier; legend says ghostly creatures need to pass through six realms of reincarnation, drink Mengpo Soup, cross Naihe Bridge to reincarnate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Ghost Gate is a place to greet new ghosts, fundamentally unable to reincarnate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the key to escaping this place is to personally draw out a Naihe Bridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng figured out the key, feeling excited inside, desperately wanting to fly back to Mingxi Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the east side of the town, a narrow alley about a meter wide was witnessing a fierce chase between a person and a dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A big yellow dog, half-human high with slick, shiny fur, was fiercely pressing its paws against the wall, leaping up to a height of a meter, soaring over the woman’s head, landing two meters away, charging out of the alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman in the green skirt flung her long sleeves, and a red silk shot out like lightning from beneath her sleeve, like a red python, coiling around the big yellow dog’s hind leg, pulling it back forcefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ao ao!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big yellow dog cried anxiously, suddenly turning its head to bite the red silk, frantically shaking its head and tearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, the red silk was torn into a gaping mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman in the green skirt saw this, shook the long silk with her right hand, and the red silk instantly rolled out a few waves, the waves crashed against the big yellow dog, bursting out a crisp sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big yellow dog let out a miserable cry, its body staggered and fell, blood flowing from its mouth and nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman in the green skirt showed a look of joy, quickly walked over to the big yellow dog, bent down to reach towards the Vajra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind the woman, landing silently, and gently placed a palm on the woman’s nape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman in the green skirt was struck as if by lightning, her whole body shuddered, and then she fell straight to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole person bled from the seven orifices, looking as if she died with indignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng withdrew his right hand, his gaze fell on the big yellow dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big yellow dog whimpered, slowly crawling up from the ground, staggeringly running towards the alley exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng caught up in a few steps, reached out, and the Vajra was in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allowing the big yellow dog to escape, he pocketed the Vajra and then turned to leave the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next hour, Zhao Sheng easily took the lives of both the middle-aged scholar and the shopkeeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Zhao Sheng secretly sneaked into the study before Lin Heng, taking away the book, the 错 gold pen, Yellow Springs Other Shore Painting, and several other treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to Zhao Mansion, Zhao Sheng dismissed the servants and began to read the book alone in the study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The book cover bore the large characters \"Rebirth Record,\" containing over a hundred ghostly tales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng read with great interest, the more he read, the more he felt the book held profound meanings and some kind of universal truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Heng smoothly met Old Shopkeeper Chen, and they enjoyed a pleasant conversation, moving to the study to continue discussing classics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, as they entered the study, Old Shopkeeper Chen’s face drastically changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lin Heng quickly asked, \"Mr. Chen, has something happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Shopkeeper Chen’s face turned ashen, gritting his teeth, he said, \"The study has been robbed! That despicable thief stole my most beloved ancient painting and antiques together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Heng was stunned upon hearing this, his face thoughtful, he quickly suggested: \"Mr. Chen, since the study has been burglarized, report it to the authorities immediately!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Shopkeeper Chen snapped back to reality, nodding heavily, and said in a deep voice: \"I’ve embarrassed you, young friend. Today’s unexpected event means we’ll have to postpone our discussion of the classics.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Heng said: \"Don’t worry, Mr. Chen, the thief surely hasn’t gone far. I’m sure the stolen items will be retrieved soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks to your good words, let’s hope so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a short while, Old Shopkeeper Chen personally saw Lin Heng off, then called a servant, instructing him to report the theft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving Chen Mansion, Lin Heng, full of doubt, quickly walked outside the town, since Chen Mansion was at a loss, he decided to first explore the Nameless tomb ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Zhao Sheng put down the book, casually picked up the 错 gold pen, and studied it closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was unsure whether this pen could draw out Naihe Bridge and thus needed to verify beforehand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Zhao Sheng flashed out of the study, discreetly leaving Chen Mansion, heading towards the Ten Kings Temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Approaching noon, Ten Kings Temple was crowded with pilgrims and incense was flourishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng mingled with the crowd, looking just like an ordinary pilgrim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He soon entered the Revolving King Hall located in the second courtyard, slowly approaching the Netherworld Sea Death Map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing around, there was only a young Taoist sweeping the dust inside the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, the young Taoist’s eyes rolled white, and he fainted instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing no one around, Zhao Sheng took out the calligraphy tools, biting his finger and dripping blood into the inkstone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he took out the 错 gold pen, dipped the tip in blood, and following some profound insight, he painted across the surface, his pen moving like dragons and serpents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a moment, a stone arch bridge spanning the sea emerged vividly on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, an infinite suction appeared out of nowhere, and Zhao Sheng was drawn up, instantaneously pulled into the painting, disappearing without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon opening his eyes, the surroundings felt extremely familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng sighed quietly, slowly getting up, sitting there in a daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t figure out what went wrong, why he couldn’t escape this piece of hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering, Zhao Sheng still felt his reasoning was correct, but perhaps he was misled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, remembering an overlooked detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The book!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who is the author of \"Rebirth Record,\" after all?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep down, Zhao Sheng sensed a great premonition, believing that once he knew who wrote the book, he would face the biggest turning point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sun climbed high, Zhao Sheng, dressed in a Confucian robe, arrived outside Chen Mansion, formally handing over his visiting card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mansion’s servant took the visiting card and quickly went back inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Chen Mansion’s steward appeared at the doorway, respectfully inviting him in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering their shared Confucian lineage, the rare appearance of Old Shopkeeper Chen greeted Zhao Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having Lin Heng as a \"preceding car’s lesson,\" Zhao Sheng easily hit upon the other’s sore point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Shopkeeper Chen was delighted, quickly treating him as a Fellow Daoist, and invited Zhao Sheng to discuss matters in the study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, Zhao Sheng easily entered the study. During their conversation, he intentionally steered the topic towards supernatural tales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Shopkeeper Chen held no suspicions, and with interest piqued, he took out a book from the shelf, handing it to Zhao Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon close inspection, it was indeed \"Rebirth Record.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1659,"2026-05-29T05:57:20.710Z","2026-06-01T04:29:22.731Z",1,"novelbin.me","d60e177c3f447d34ffb61786046c6fa4698cece687d1f0ba73a236a216ecbefe","cultivating-for-a-hundred-lifetimes-to-ascension-chapter-1471","cultivating-for-a-hundred-lifetimes-to-ascension-chapter-1469",1751,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-for-a-hundred-lifetimes-to-ascension-cover.jpg"]
