Just from their unhesitating defiance of the surrounding power of space-time, it was clear that the cultivation of these three was all above the Returning to Void stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a secretive and strange place, the sudden appearance of three Half-Immortals of the Void naturally aroused Zhao Sheng’s vigilance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After examining Zhao Sheng, the purple-gold crowned elder suddenly sang, “Infinite Heavenly Venerate! Why have you intruded upon our sacred mountain gate without cause?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haha!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng couldn’t help but laugh in anger, immediately retorting, “Haha, what a reversal of truth! I have yet to question why you have laid such a sinister trap, and yet you try to evade responsibility, what a vain hope!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, stop being unreasonable! You clearly came in on your own, why then do you blame—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Junior brother, do not be rude!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-gold crowned elder suddenly interrupted his companion’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He calmly looked at Zhao Sheng and said, “I am Hu Qianqian. May I ask your honorable name, fellow Taoist?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng secretly heightened his caution and coldly replied, “I am Zhao, known as Five Directions. No matter who you are, I just want to enter the spiritual realm to retrieve something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once my goal is achieved, we can write off all previous matters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey! Do you think you can enter and leave our sacred mountain gate at will? Let me tell you, today—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahem!” The purple-gold crowned elder suddenly coughed, immediately causing the person behind him to shiver and refrain from further speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng observed the three people before him, finding them increasingly familiar, and suddenly he remembered something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he had a sudden thought and tried probing, “I just remembered. You are… people from the Wuxiang Demon Sect!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing these words, the three people’s expressions shifted simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few breaths later, the purple-gold crowned elder spoke in a somber tone, “Taoist Zhao, you must be joking. We are not cultivators of the Demon Path, but members of the Immortal Sect. Our sect is of a reclusive nature, rarely interacting with the world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, whether you’re remnants from the Wuxiang Demon Sect or not, I have only one goal, to enter the spiritual realm and take one item. Nothing else concerns me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-gold crowned elder raised an eyebrow slightly and said in a deep voice, “What if I disagree? Are you going to break in? Taoist, think carefully, if it comes to a fight, you may not be able to defeat the three of us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, they remained still, which clearly indicated their fear of Zhao Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha!” Zhao Sheng suddenly burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he suddenly turned serious and threatened ominously, “If you don’t let me in, believe it or not, I’ll leave immediately?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Hu Qianqian’s expression changed instantly and he fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After secretly communicating with his two junior brothers, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Qianqian gestured invitingly and said in a loud voice, “Our sect has always been at peace with the world. Since you wish to visit our mountain gate, I naturally extend my warmest welcome.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then instructed, “Junior Brother Cheng, Nephew Feng, open the portal grandly to welcome our distinguished guest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At your command!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both white-robed elders bowed and accepted the order, then turned and flew into the portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, that portal suddenly expanded several times, transforming into a grand light gate nine feet wide and long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the purple-gold crowned elder Hu Qianqian looked at Zhao Sheng, smiling and gesturing, “Taoist Zhao, please follow me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Hu Qianqian turned and walked towards the light gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhao Sheng’s mind raced, and the Five Directions Treasure Mirror suddenly receded within his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, he flashed and appeared near Hu Qianqian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They walked side by side, neither going ahead of the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Qianqian seemed unaware, taking a few steps into the light gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng wasn’t a step behind, entering the light gate almost simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next second, the scene before his eyes brightened, revealing a new world in front of Zhao Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky was jade-like in its azure hue, stretching a thousand miles of fertile land, with countless neatly arranged spirit fields filling the view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meandering rivers crossed vast spirit fields, flowing towards distant forests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside the rivers and spirit fields stood numerous estates, suggesting a densely populated area filled with pastoral charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sky, floating islands dotted the heavens, with pavilions and towers densely packed, connected by tunneling light as people busied themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Qianqian patiently waited, and only after Zhao Sheng had taken in the surroundings did he smile and say, “Taoist Zhao, please!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, a cloud of azure light formed under his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng’s eyes flashed, and the Nine Nether Tower in his hand glowed faintly, with a gray-white line visible only to him extending outwards, pointing towards a distant mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need to go there!” Zhao Sheng pointed towards that distant mountain and abruptly announced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, a strange gleam flickered in Hu Qianqian’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he nodded and smiled, “Since you are so eager, I won’t stop you. Please go ahead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng ignored any underlying schemes they might have and focused instead on locating the Great Saint’s residual soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cupped his hands towards Hu Qianqian, “Taoist Hu, thank you for your understanding. Farewell!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, he sped towards the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just over ten breaths, Zhao Sheng flew over two thousand miles, reaching the top of the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking down, the mountain covered a vast area, with its range extending hundreds of miles. The mountain was barren, devoid of grass, with large stones strewn everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng released his Divine Thought, enveloping the whole mountain instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-white line touched the mountain’s surface and immediately spread out, seemingly covering the entire mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng frowned slightly, perplexed for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He concentrated and observed the mountain below closely again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One breath, two breaths, three breaths…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he felt a jolt, as if sensing something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, could this be…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the “Divine Thought view,” the mountain’s surface gradually faded, revealing another form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain seemed to transform into a vast stone ape, resembling a kneeling or reclining figure, with its eyes closed and expression solemn, richly dignified, and lifelike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t this the same as the recumbent ape stone that lay beneath the Golden Crane Great Saint in the past!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes, searching high and low, one finds it effortlessly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, Zhao Sheng realized that this mountain was clearly transformed from the Great Saint’s residual soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was overjoyed, a light chuckle suddenly echoed in his ear, “Haha, Taoist Zhao, you found it so quickly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng’s mind jolted, and in an instant, he teleported a hundred miles away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just after his move, Hu Qianqian suddenly appeared at his previous location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, I had just discovered a clue, and you interrupted me. Now I have to spend considerable effort searching again. You’ve come at such an inconvenient time!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng appeared aggrieved and shouted, putting on an arrogant demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Sheng’s mind jolted, and in an instant, he teleported a hundred miles away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just after his move, Hu Qianqian suddenly appeared at his previous location.\u003C\u002Fp>",1465,"2026-05-29T05:57:31.692Z","2026-06-01T04:29:22.731Z",1,"novelbin.me","d14c6815c488ae3a09a1511e0c810b1cfc2aef593dd4369fc6a272ba9f5198d7","cultivating-for-a-hundred-lifetimes-to-ascension-chapter-1618","cultivating-for-a-hundred-lifetimes-to-ascension-chapter-1616",1751,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-for-a-hundred-lifetimes-to-ascension-cover.jpg"]
