Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 1583 - 854: Universal Frequencies and the Three Tribulations of Ascension (Part 2)

Chapter 1583: Chapter 854: Universal Frequencies and the Three Tribulations of Ascension (Part 2)

One breath later, he slowly sank into the ground, escaping into the depths of the earth.

Before long, Zhao Sheng emerged from the ground, disheveled and covered in dirt.

Clearly, he had just suffered quite a setback.

The underground of the island had long been laid with countless powerful and terrifying Prohibitions, and even as an Array Dao Grandmaster, he found it difficult to break through these Prohibitions, nearly failing to escape.

However, he also confirmed that there indeed exists an unimaginable "Gravity Source" beneath the island.

This "Gravity Source" is immense, yet is trapped by layers of Prohibitions in a narrow space beneath the island, unable to break free.

Moreover, Zhao Xuanjing has dispatched an Avatar to oversee the Stone Mountain, continuously monitoring every move of the "Gravity Source" below.

Should it escape, the Ancestral Divine Land would inevitably descend to the earth, eventually causing a catastrophic disaster that the Zhao Family could not withstand.

Zhao Sheng also did not expect that the gravity creature he cultivated in his past life under coincidence would have such heaven-defying power in the hands of the Zhao Family.

This whimsical idea of lifting the entire continent skyward, Zhao Sheng sincerely applauded in his mind and marveled endlessly.

Night passed swiftly, and as dawn approached, Old Stone Mason appeared again at the foot of the mountain, walking up the Stone Mountain along the path.

Zhao Sheng changed into a new robe and waited in place for the whole night.

Shortly after, Old Stone Mason arrived nearby and noticed Zhao Sheng, clad in a new robe, his surprise evident.

"Oh, young one, you’re still here! Your spirit was just like mine in my youth!"

Zhao Sheng felt speechless, unable to resist teasing: "Old Zhao, don’t be fooled by my youthful appearance; I’m actually old enough to be your uncle."

Old Stone Mason lifted his drooping eyelids to look at him and said in a raspy voice, "Old as I am, my eyes are failing; I didn’t realize you were a Cultivator. Pardon me!"

Zhao Sheng chuckled lightly, "As the ancients say, ignorance is forgivable. Your mortal eyes naturally cannot see through my identity."

Old Stone Mason smiled, took a carving knife from his bosom, and was about to continue yesterday’s work.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng suddenly asked, "Old Zhao, why do you chisel stone here day after day?"

Old Stone Mason replied without turning his head, "The old one’s restless spirit, chiseling stone here daily keeps the body active and wears away the clutter in the mind. It’s fulfilling in two ways, why not enjoy it!"

As his voice fell, the familiar sound of chiseling echoed once more.

Zhao Sheng wanted to inquire further but was interrupted by the chiseling sound, his Spirit instantly drawn in, quickly entering a peculiar state.

Sunset followed by moonrise, a day passed in an instant.

As dusk descended, Zhao Sheng suddenly returned to consciousness, feeling an extreme sense of comfort as if relieved of an invisible shackle.

Unbeknownst to him, his Will Heart Light had significantly improved, and his cultivation quietly broke through to Returning to Void Second Level.

Looking around, countless "ripples" appeared out of nowhere between heaven and earth.

Some "ripples" were chaotic and disordered, appearing very disharmonious.

Some "ripples" were clear and distinct, constantly expanding and contracting according to some pattern.

Different "ripples" sometimes interfered with and canceled each other out, sometimes merged and strengthened each other.

Every moment, countless "ripples" were born or vanished, with those dim and weak "ripples" continuously swallowed or extinguished by larger ripples, themselves captured by even larger and brighter "ripples."

In the scope of perception, the most intense and dazzling ripple comes from deep within the earth, so vast that it continually influences the countless "ripples" between heaven and earth.

Zhao Sheng’s pupils narrowed, his heart filled with indescribable astonishment. The countless "ripples" before him were indeed the probability of fluctuations in heaven and earth.

"Ripples" generated by lifeless substances like soil and stone were weak and dim, not only easily perishing but slowly reborn.

The "ripples" of grasses and trees appeared more lively and bright, often vanishing yet quickly giving birth to new ripples.

Zhao Sheng particularly noticed that countless "ripples" generated by soil and stone composed, on a macro scale, an immense and brilliant "ripple," its core being the Nameless Stone Mountain beneath his feet.

After observing for a long while, Zhao Sheng’s Spirit Light flickered, and he suddenly walked to the front of the Giant Stone, clenched his fist and lightly knocked on the weakest and most chaotic part of the stone’s "ripple."

Crack, crack...

Instantly, a dense cracking sound radiated from within the Giant Stone, innumerable fissures quickly spread across its surface, and then the entire Giant Stone collapsed with a roar, reduced to a pile of rubble.

Zhao Sheng stepped back a few paces, the burgeoning light in his eyes gradually faded, and the myriad "ripples" between heaven and earth soon vanished from perception.

A saying from the sages:

The great Void is brimming, myriad signs bearing the essence.

Though diverse are creatures, each resonates with the profound musics.

Some echo like the spring stream striking jade pendants, a crisp and pure melody;

Some resound like autumn gullies rustling pine waves, a deep and harmonious tone.

Gold stones shine, embodying the rhythm of bright spirits;

Grasses and insects, though modest, also hold the fragrance of refined patterns.

And in the Yuqing Immortal True Guide Mysterious Scripture, there are four verses: All transformations hold the key pivot, unique rhythms embody the earth. Heaven and earth have no unified melody, the grand universe awakens fully!

Now it seems both reveal the heavenly truth of "everything has a rhythm."

For a moment, Zhao Sheng’s mind surged with Spirit Light, recalling the process of opening the Grotto Heaven in his past life, he suddenly recognized countless mistakes and omissions.

Though the Five Thunders Cave Heaven was successfully opened, yet the circulation of its Law failed to integrate well with the frequency rhythm of all things.

He previously thought the Five Thunders Cave Heaven could exist for at least a million years, but now it seems maintaining thirty thousand years without collapse is a stroke of luck.
