Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 1563 - 844: Nine-layered Cloud Sea Disperses, Ascension Platform Appears_2

Chapter 1563: Chapter 844: Nine-layered Cloud Sea Disperses, Ascension Platform Appears_2

Zhao Sheng restrained his aura and calmly said, "Hand over the Life Jade, and I owe the Zhao Family a favor, to be repaid a hundredfold in the future!"

"Yes, senior, I obey." Zhao Chongnan dared not hesitate any longer. His right hand swiftly swept over the Storage Bag at his waist, and a palm-sized, smooth jade-yellow Life Jade appeared in his hand.

Zhao Sheng reached out to take the Life Jade, placing it before his eyes to examine.

The front of the Life Jade was engraved with a towering mountain peak reaching into the cloud. The peak was as straight as a pillar, ascending to the nine-layer clouds.

Notably, most of the mountain was covered by a Cloud Sea, with as many as nine layers of clouds.

Zhao Sheng immediately recognized that this peak was none other than the Heavenly Pillar Mountain, a mountain anchoring the realm.

On the reverse side of the Life Jade, a carving of an Immortal Riding Dragon was displayed.

Upon careful inspection, the appearance and demeanor of the immortal were exactly like Zhao Xuanjing.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng couldn’t help but condemn in his heart: "If it weren’t for my painstaking efforts to repeatedly turn the tide, could the Zhao Family have what they do today? Truly... without me, Zhao would have Xuanjing as their ancestor!"

"How does one use this thing?"

"Reporting to senior, this item is bound in three steps. The first step is to squeeze out a drop of Heart Blood, dripping it onto the front of the Life Jade," Zhao Chongnan promptly explained.

Zhao Sheng followed his instructions, quickly dropping a drop of Heart Blood onto the jade. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The Blood Pearl quickly merged into the jade, which then emitted a layer of blood light, no higher than an inch, notably dim.

Zhao Sheng raised his head to look at Zhao Chongnan, the inquiry in his eyes unmistakable.

"The second step is to send in a strand of Divine Thought, refining it," Zhao Chongnan continued.

Zhao Sheng did as instructed and then asked, "How is the third step done?"

"The last step involves injecting a wisp of Divine Soul into the Life Jade. This step is extremely dangerous and must—ugh!"

Before the words were finished, Zhao Chongnan was shocked, watching with wide eyes as Zhao Sheng calmly separated a wisp of Divine Soul and easily sent it into the Life Jade.

Then, the blood light suddenly soared to six feet, appearing like a blood-colored Light Ball hovering in mid-air.

Zhao Chongnan was horrified, hurriedly gathering mana, attempting to set up a Barrier around, preventing the phenomenon from alerting others.

At that moment, he suddenly realized the surroundings were already enveloped by an invisible barrier, isolating the place from the outside world.

Once again, Zhao Chongnan was shocked, unable to resist looking over.

"How... how... is this possible!"

Zhao Sheng frowned slightly, his spirit entirely focused on the Life Jade, oblivious that Zhao Chongnan was once more defenseless.

On the Life Jade’s front side, the nine-layer Cloud Sea covering Heavenly Pillar Mountain was slowly dissipating.

After countless years, the true visage of Heavenly Pillar Mountain was finally revealed!

Gazing at Heavenly Pillar Mountain within the jade, Zhao Sheng’s gaze was complex and difficult to decipher.

As the cloud mist cleared, the summit of Heavenly Pillar Mountain suddenly revealed a spotless white platform, with a shimmering Crystal Tower at its center, surrounded by sixty Crystal Columns, undoubtedly the Ascension Platform!

"This can’t be... Nine Layers of Clouds Disperse, Ascension Platform Emerges! I’m seeing things, how could the Ascension Platform—appear!" Zhao Chongnan muttered to himself, eyes widened, seemingly unable to believe what he saw.

Zhao Sheng glanced at him, casually stowing the Life Jade into his sleeve, hiding its brilliant glow.

"No, let me look again! I must have... seen... wrong!" Initially very excited, Zhao Chongnan eventually deflated like a punctured balloon, appearing extremely despondent.

Nine Layers of Clouds Disperse, Ascension Platform Emerges!" Zhao Sheng repeated the phrase before suddenly asking, "Old man asks you, what does this mean?"

At this moment, Zhao Chongnan had somewhat regained his clarity and looked at Zhao Sheng with intense fervor before starting to explain.

The so-called nine-layer Cloud Sea, in some sense, represents the height of cultivation that one could achieve in the future.

The more the Cloud Sea disperses, typically indicates a higher cultivation realm one will attain.

One layer of the Cloud Sea dispersing is nearly equivalent to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Two layers dispersing can be seen as possessing the stature of Divinity Transformation.

Beyond four layers dispersing, it indicates a great possibility of breaking through to Returning to Void.

When the nine layers of the Cloud Sea disperse, and the Ascension Platform appears, it signifies a promising chance of Crossing Tribulation and potential future Ascension.

For countless years, numerous Tribulations Crossing Venerables have emerged from the Taiyi Spirit Realm, but those who can achieve Daytime Ascension are few and far between.

After listening, Zhao Sheng nodded slightly, suddenly understanding why this person frequently lost composure.

"Ridiculous! Just a piece of Life Jade, how could it determine one’s future. You’re deluded!" Zhao Sheng shook his head with complete indifference.

Unexpectedly... Zhao Chongnan’s expression was extremely earnest, and he solemnly stated, "Senior must not be skeptical! I’m unaware this saying originated from the ancestor’s mouth. The ancestor never uttered falsehoods; thus, this saying is naturally true!"

The "ancestor" he referred to was none other than Zhao Xuanjing.

Over countless years, Zhao Clan Members have long regarded the ancestor as a deity.

Every word he spoke has been treated as the divine law, deeply believed by numerous individuals.

Zhao Sheng had no intention of arguing, casually tossing him a Sumeru Ring.

"Old man never takes things for free. Consider this ring an interest. It contains some items; you’ll find them helpful in the future, take it!"

Zhao Chongnan caught the Sumeru Ring, his expression exceedingly complex.

Zhao Sheng nodded slightly, speaking nonchalantly, "At most a hundred years, at least a decade. Old man will send someone to return a hundred tokens. Perhaps, one day, you and I will meet again... Farewell!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Sheng suddenly vanished with the wind, leaving the cliff empty and deserted, devoid of a human figure.

Instinctively stepping forward, Zhao Chongnan’s Divine Thought instantly enveloped the entire cliff, yet he found nothing.
