Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 43 Taiyi Spirit Realm

"Damn it!"

After cursing, Zhang Xiong took off the Alien Insect Bag from his waist, opened the bag wide, and poured out hundreds of fist-sized Four-winged Blood Mosquitoes.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

In mid-air, the Four-winged Blood Mosquitoes circled once and quickly formed a Blood Cloud that charged towards Zhao Sheng and Zhao Chongwei.

At the same time, Third Chu Hu's head, face, and limbs rapidly grew green hair, then he leaped straight out of the stone pavilion, covering three zhang in one bound, his body stiff like a zombie, he hopped and pounced toward Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Sheng pulled Zhao Chongwei behind him and paid no attention to the swarm of Four-winged Blood Mosquitoes.

He quickly produced a Fireball Talisman, poured Spiritual Power into it, and forcefully threw it toward the sky.

The next second, at a height of seven or eight zhang above, an orange-red fireball the size of a human head suddenly exploded, standing out starkly against the dusky sky.

Meanwhile, just as the Four-winged Blood Mosquitoes reached Zhao Sheng and Zhao Chongwei and were about to bite fiercely, they all slammed into a solid and heavy barrier of Red Light.

The Red Scale Armor, as a Spiritual Artifact designed for defense, not only boasted exceptionally sturdy materials but also inherent a Second-level Defensive Magic "Red Light."

Should the Spiritual Artifact's Master encounter danger, "Red Light" would automatically activate, defending against any tangible or intangible attacks.

Seeing this, Third Chu Hu, the green-haired ghost, underwent a drastic change in expression and immediately shifted his body shape, crashing against the golden Light Shield of the Trapped Dragon Talisman.

Decades of life as a Loose Cultivator had honed Chu Hu's extremely sharp sense of crisis.

The very moment he saw the Red Light, he instinctively sensed some kind of danger.

Trouble!

He must escape quickly!

But before fleeing, he had to rescue the boss!

Chu Hu practiced an Evil Technique called the Zombification Technique.

This evil method transformed the practitioner's flesh into an unbreakable zombie body.

After decades of cultivation, Chu Hu's body had evolved from a Black Zombie to a Green Zombie, not only extremely hard like iron but also immensely powerful.

His charge was laden with a force well beyond a thousand catties!

However, how could a Second-level Talisman be easily broken by a Qi Refining Immortal Cultivator?

The golden Light Shield trembled slightly and then immediately returned to normal.

Seeing this, Chu Hu became frantic.

He exerted all his Core Stiff Power, causing each strand of his green hair to stand on end like a human-shaped green hedgehog.

With a series of Crackling pops, Chu Hu's rigid body suddenly swelled by a third, then he violently pushed his feet backward, instantly creating two pits in the ground.

His body flew up like a cannonball and fiercely smashed against the golden Light Shield.

This time, the golden Light Shield buckled inward as the golden chains inside vibrated rapidly a few times.

But the next second, Chu Hu spat black blood and was instantly flung away.

Having failed once more, Chu Hu's expression grew even more hideous. He wiped the blood from his mouth, struggled to get up from the ground, and was about to charge for the third time.

Just then, Zhang Xiong, the second brother, yelled in a panic, "Third, forget about the boss. Bail out immediately!"

Obviously,

His attention to detail was no less than that of third brother, and upon seeing the Spiritual Artifact and the Trapped Dragon Talisman,

Zhang Xiong also immediately realized that instead of catching their prey, they had fallen into a trap.

The reason he came to this conclusion was that the characteristics of the Red Scale Armor, a familial Spiritual Artifact of the Zhao family, were too distinctive.

Zhang Xiong recognized at a glance that the lad was actually wearing a piece of Red Scale Armor.

Is this normal?

Pah, this is totally abnormal!

Chu Hu's expression was exceptionally stubborn as he turned his head and shouted to Zhang Xiong, "Second Brother, if you want to leave, go by yourself, I need to save the boss!"

Although Chu Hu was known for his unscrupulous behavior, he was loyal to Elder Zhou. Without the boss's repeated rescues over the years, he would have died countless times already.

"Damn it! Practicing that shitty Zombie Skill, and even ruining your own brain in the end. Fine, if you won't go, I'll make a run for it first!"

With that, Zhang Xiong didn't bother to retrieve his Four-winged Blood Mosquitoes and contracted his limbs, turning his body into a big meat ball and rapidly bouncing out of the stone pavilion, rolling down the mountain.

Just at that moment, a cold voice suddenly resounded through the sky, "None of you will escape!"

Before the sound faded, five figures descended from the sky.

Zhao Jingge and Zhao Keqin flew down to the stone steps on the side of the mountain, blocking Zhang Xiong's escape route.

Zhao Jiading and the other two encircled Chu Hu in the center.

When Zhao Sheng saw this scene, his heart relaxed, and he loudly called out to Zhao Jiading, "Second Grandpa, Zhao Chongxiao is dead."

Zhao Jiading glanced at the bloody skeleton not far away, then slowly furrowed his brows.

Although Zhao Chongxiao had deserved to die for his actions, he was, after all, a member of the main branch, and his death was so miserable in the end.

Beyond pity, Zhao Jiading felt a surge of anger well up inside him.

Facing five cultivators at the Qi Refining Late Stage, Chu Hu and Zhang Xiong had absolutely no strength to resist and were quickly captured one after another.

As for Elder Zhou, there was even less that needed to be said,

A mighty Qi Refining Ninth Layer cultivator hadn't unleashed a single move before he bewilderingly became a captive.

He probably couldn't understand how his supposedly meticulous plan had been so easily seen through by the Zhao family.

Zhao Jiading and the others would not easily kill the Wushan Three Immortals; they would wait until after they had drained all their value.

Three days later, just when Zhao Sheng thought the matter had passed, Elder Zhao Jiading came to him with an excited expression.

As the two settled down in the living room, without waiting for Zhao Sheng to speak, Zhao Jiading eagerly took something out and handed it over, saying mysteriously, "Chongwei, take a look at this, what do you think it is?"

Zhao Sheng took it and saw an object that looked like a piece of White Silk Handkerchief. It was soft and silky to touch, easily crumpled into a ball.

When he unfolded it, the handkerchief was thin and translucent, about one foot square. The surface of the silk was covered with dense and mysterious runes embroidered one by one, not just written on.

Zhao Sheng couldn't help but ask with curiosity, "What is this? Could it be a Cultivation Method?"

"Not exactly, but not far off!"

Zhao Jiading smiled and shook his head, then quickly explained, "While this thing isn't a Cultivation Method, it's almost the same for a talisman cultivator. This silk handkerchief records a Talisman Tao method known as 'Stacking Talisman Technique'."

Stacking Talisman Technique!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng's heart stirred, certain he had come across this name in some ancient book.

He quickly spread out the handkerchief to take a closer look, but he couldn't recognize the runes on it as they were vastly different from the ones commonly used in the Cultivation World.

Seeing Zhao Sheng's thoughts, Zhao Jiading quickly took out an ancient book from his Storage Bag and handed it to him, while urging seriously, "This 'Taiyi Spiritual Text Annotation' was found on them. Be sure to keep it safe and don't let others see it."

Upon hearing the words Taiyi, Zhao Sheng's heart shook violently.

In the Cultivation World, all items related to Taiyi pointed directly to the Taiyi Spirit Realm.

As Zhao Sheng knew, his world was called the Tianzhu Realm. Because of the limits in Spiritual Energy density, cultivators could only reach up to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

After advancing to Divinity Transformation, cultivators must find ways to ascend to the Spirit Realm to continue their cultivation.

Taiyi Spirit Realm is where the Divinity Transformation True Monarchs of the Tianzhu Realm ascend to.

Divinity Transformation True Monarchs who successfully ascended didn't completely sever their ties with the Tianzhu Realm.
