Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 393 - 280: The Grandson Meets but Does Not Recognize_2

Chapter 393: Chapter 280: The Grandson Meets but Does Not Recognize_2

After ten years since his ascension to Golden Core, with diligent cultivation and the aid of numerous elixir pills, he finally advanced to the Golden Core Second Level.

“Ancestor!”

Two figures with steady steps flashed out from around the corner, revealing a middle-aged man with a cold and stern countenance and the plain-looking Zhao Qingyan.

Zhao Sheng glanced at the two of them, a hint of satisfaction appearing on his face.

“Qingyan, you didn’t disappoint me; you really succeeded in achieving Foundation Establishment.”

“It’s all thanks to the Ancestor’s earnest guidance that Qingyan was able to reach this day,” Zhao Qingyan said with immense gratitude as he bowed deeply.

...

Zhao Sheng let out a slight smile and teased, “I didn’t expect someone as rigid and honest as you to say such words. The stone has finally seen the light, and I am very comforted!”

Upon finishing, Zhao Sheng’s gaze shifted to the stern middle-aged man and suddenly he spoke, “Qingming, have the group of people who came with you adapted to the environment of Fushan Island yet?”

I still remember the competition of the Eight Branches from years past.

Fifty years ago, the first place winner in spell casting, Zhao Qingming, who was once proud and untamed, now stood as a Third Level Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Half a year ago, Zhao Qingming led the first group of Xinglong Zhao family members across tens of millions of miles to the Shattered Star Sea and finally arrived on Fushan Island.

Of course, this was also an act of foresight by Zhao Sheng. Two years ago, after capturing Lanzhao Valley, he had used the channels of the Vast Sect to send word back to the Xinglong Origin.

It took a year and a half before Zhao Qingming led the first group of relocated clan members to arrive on Fushan Island.

“Most have already adapted, but there are still around a hundred clan members who are suffering from the unfamiliar climate,” Zhao Qingming answered with great respect.

“Not bad, in another month or so everyone should be adapted,” Zhao Sheng nodded slightly, then suddenly said, “Things here on Fushan Island are on the right track now. I should be returning to Xinglong Origin.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingyan immediately grew anxious, “Ancestor, please reconsider. We cannot do without you here.”

Before Zhao Sheng could speak, Zhao Qingming interjected, “That is incorrect. Compared to Lanzhao Valley, Xinglong Origin truly needs the Ancestor to preside over it.”

“Ha ha, Qingyan, spread the word then; all banquets must come to an end.”

Zhao Sheng laughed heartily and then strode out of the spiritual acupoint.

Three days later, within a grand and newly built hall in Lanzhao Valley, the three remaining Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Dome Turtle Zhao family, Zhao Qingming, Zhao Defang, and dozens of mid to late-stage Qi Refining clan members, all stood with solemn expressions and hands clasped.

Atop the grand hall, Zhao Sheng was seated alone at the uppermost central jade chair, his gaze overseeing the crowd below.

The people in the hall sneaked glances at the ancestor, their expressions filled with surprise, as if reluctant to believe the ancestor had returned to the Central Continent.

After a while, Zhao Sheng instructed the Qi Refining clan members to leave, keeping only the five family Foundation Establishment members behind.

Zhao Daojing felt especially reluctant, as she was deeply aware of how important it was for the family to have a Golden Core Ancestor to rely on.

She didn’t want Zhao Sheng to leave, but she knew she could not make him stay.

“Ancestor, the foundations of Lanzhao Valley are not yet stable. Why don’t you stay for another two years?” Family Head Zhao Daoming asked with sincerity after bowing deeply.

Zhao Sheng shook his head, declining, “No need. I have already notified Master Jiao. If you encounter dangers that are difficult to resist in the future, you may ask for Master Jiao’s help. Alternatively, you can also seek help from Ji Jiuxi. With my relationship with them, they certainly won’t stand idly by.”

Zhao Sheng said this because he had already made arrangements in advance, and indeed, it could also be viewed as a transaction, seeing that the goodwill of a highly promising Golden Core Master was sometimes invaluable.

“Furthermore, I have prepared three secret treasures for you that can stabilize Qi Fortune,” Zhao Sheng said, and with a flip of his hand, he took out three storage bags. With a casual toss, the storage talismans turned into three streams of light that each landed in the hands of Zhao Daoming, Zhao Daojing, and Zhao Qingming.

Zhao Daojing stretched out her hand to catch the storage bag, and with a slight sweep of her Divine Sense, she saw two talisman treasures inside the bag, brimming with Sword Intent and enshrouded with treasure light.

In Zhao Daoming’s storage bag were more than a dozen Inheritance Jade Scrolls and a large stack of third-rank Treasure Talismans, as well as numerous pill bottles.

Zhao Qingming couldn’t help but reveal a look of ecstasy, presumably because the items in the bag were extremely precious.

“This Mystical Spirit Puppet can temporarily withstand a Fake Pill, but not for more than an hour. Also, when cultivating the ‘Divine Separation and Thought Melding Technique,’ a Spirit Secret Skill, be very careful and never be rashly ambitious,” Zhao Sheng’s voice came slowly.

“Thank you, Ancestor, for bestowing treasures!”

Zhao Qingming’s heart warmed slightly, and he immediately bowed in gratitude.

Zhao Daoming and Zhao Daojing also hurriedly bowed to express their thanks.

Zhao Sheng gave a slight nod and then instructed, “After I leave, you may announce to the outside world that I am entering closed-door cultivation and will not receive visitors. Before the second group of reinforcements arrives, you must keep a low profile. Do you hear me?”

“We will follow the Ancestor’s orders!” the five Foundation Establishment Cultivators responded in unison, bowing deeply.

…

Three days later, Zhao Sheng quietly left Fushan Island with Zhao Daojing.

Half a month later, two tunneling lights descended from the sky and entered Star God Island.

Zhao Sheng stayed on Star God Island for over two months, during which he visited all the workshops on the island, selling the accumulated elixir pills and surplus talismans and items while purchasing various unique treasures and special products from the Shattered Star Sea, such as Nie Crystal, Demon Core, and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects, among others.

As winter turned to spring, on the third day after the Divine Sacrifice, Zhao Sheng boarded the Vast Sect’s Sea Suppression Cloud Boat, embarking on the long journey back to the Central Continent.

…

Half a year later, Xinglong City was decked with lights and bustling with noise. The city’s million residents were all beaming with joy, celebrating the birth of another Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the family.
