Daoist Tao Kan trembled all over and hurriedly began to speak of his name, origins, and the general experiences of his life.

An hour later, Daoist Tao Kan found himself with nothing more to say, so he stopped with an awkward smile.

Zhao Sheng’s expression was indifferent, his gaze deep, revealing nothing of his inner thoughts.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a golden light shot forth from Zhao Sheng’s body, instantly transforming into an ancient and gracefully antiquated golden round mirror.

The golden mirror, upon emerging, immediately flew closely around its owner, emitting a continuous buzzing sound, looking very lively and joyful.

Zhao Sheng was already in communication with his Lifebound Magic Treasure, just a thought passing through his mind.

The Western Golden Light Mirror reluctantly departed from its owner, flying above Daoist Tao Kan’s head, and suddenly began to cast down streams of golden light.

The old Taoist was both shocked and terrified, feeling as if some sharp, unmatched invisible waves swept through him, and he instinctively felt he might be chopped into thousands of pieces at any moment.

At this moment, Zhao Sheng unceremoniously ordered, "Tao Kan, hold this Golden Light Mirror and set forth to visit the various Major Sects of this realm. The Treasure Vaults of these sects have accumulated quite a few Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures; you are to retrieve them for this old man."

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist’s heart chilled halfway, wanting to explain that this task was as difficult as reaching the sky, almost impossible to accomplish.

However, he could not discern his master’s intentions, thus dared not speak rashly against him.

"Rest assured! With the Golden Light Mirror to protect you, your life will be safe. Even if a Divinity Transformation True Monarch intervenes, the Golden Light Mirror will shield you to escape. Then, this old man will personally appear."

Zhao Sheng sensed his inner thoughts and offered him reassurance.

Daoist Tao Kan listened, still somewhat uneasy, but he could only brace himself to undertake this matter.

He knew very well that his life was entirely in the hands of Zhao Sheng, and could not afford to pick and choose.

Next, Zhao Sheng divided a strand of Divine Soul to attach to the Golden Light Mirror.

After undergoing the baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation together with the other Four-sided Treasure Mirrors, the Golden Light Mirror had successfully gained spiritual nature, its grade surpassing top-grade magic treasures, already belonging to the category of Spiritual Treasures.

With a thread of Divine Soul attached to it, Daoist Tao Kan could easily grasp and unleash ninety percent of the Golden Light Mirror’s power.

Zhao Sheng instructed the old Taoist once more, also letting him separate out thirty percent of his Divine Thought to communicate with the thread of Divine Soul within the Golden Light Mirror. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Soon, Daoist Tao Kan clumsily operated the Golden Light Mirror, releasing several streams of golden light, easily penetrating several large mountains and leaving several deep, bottomless pits on the ground.

The great power of the Golden Light Mirror, its astonishing destructive force, left the old Taoist shocked and pale, then overjoyed, his confidence greatly boosted.

The old Taoist, holding the Golden Light Mirror with both hands, respectfully bowed to Zhao Sheng.

Then, he suddenly transformed into a rainbow, shooting toward the horizon and soon disappeared at the edge of the sky.

Zhao Sheng withdrew his gaze, glanced at Green Deer Peak below, and with a flash of his figure, disappeared without a trace.

...

Time passed quickly in the cycle of the seasons, and eight years whisked by.

During these eight years, a previously unheard-of, extraordinary event occurred in Daze Cultivation World.

Rumor had it that a Nascent Soul Loose Cultivator visited Sea King Sect, Sea Division Sect, Three Relief Sect, and other ancient sects, claiming to come for exchange of Taoist Skills each time he visited.

No one paid attention initially, but when Sea King Sect’s Three Nascent Soul Ancestors were defeated by this person, the matter instantly spread far and wide.

After defeating the Three Sects’ Nascent Souls, Daoist Tao Kan earned the nickname Golden Light Ancestor.

After losing the duel, Sea King Sect had no choice but to open the sect’s treasure vault, allowing this person to plunder.

Afterwards, Daoist Tao Kan visited Sea Division Sect, Three Relief Sect, where no ancestor was his match, and at last could only concede defeat, opening their treasure vaults to the old Taoist.

In the following years, the old Taoist took the treasure mirror all over Daze Realm, dueling with over seventy Nascent Soul Fellow Daoists, including some Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Amazingly, in over seventy battles, the old Taoist was never defeated!

Worth mentioning is that during the eight-year period of the old Taoist’s unrestrained rampage, not a single Divinity Transformation True Monarch appeared to stop him.

This witness the sparse spiritual energy of Daze Realm, almost making it impossible to breach the Divinity Transformation Heaven Barrier.

...

Within the Mirror Realm, ranges of volcanoes surged, lava flowing down from the volcanic mouths, with rolling black smoke rising to the sky, the air filled with an unpleasant sulfur smell.

Zhao Sheng slowly ascended into the sky, gazing at nine ’suns’ spanning the heavenly curtain, suddenly clasping his hands into a spell, chanting incantations, behind a grand golden giant suddenly appeared.

In the next instant, the world trembled, flowing light emerged from nowhere, transforming into rainbows coming from the horizon.

At the same time, nine suns fell sequentially, and as their flames extinguished, nine clusters of Treasure Light emerged, falling in front of Zhao Sheng one by one, revealing their true forms.

Golden dazzling seal, gold and silver intertwined bag, crystalline elixir pills as large as a dragon’s eye, a small bronze dagger... all nine magical treasures shimmered and emanated a subtle pressure.

Zhao Sheng quickly released thousands of Mystic Light Techniques toward the nine magical treasures, quickly subduing them before storing them in his sleeve.

A moment later, he landed upon the Spirit Core of the Mirror Realm’s central Great Array, the array pillars glistening, array power transforming into a flowing light, enveloping a nearby hundred-meter space.

The flowing light rose, and Zhao Sheng’s figure soon disappeared within the array.

After a dizzying experience, he suddenly appeared in a strange world of cloud-capped mountains and foggy seas.

This world was indeed the Mirror World within the Northern Mirage Cloud Mirror.

Using the special Power of Restriction of the Five Directions Treasure Mirror, Zhao Sheng could freely travel among the mirrors, an unconventional form of Space-Time Teleportation.

Without his past life’s exceptionally rich experience, with Zhao Sheng’s current cultivation alone, it would be absolutely impossible to achieve such miraculous feats.

Whoosh~

Zhao Sheng exhaled a long breath, suddenly transforming into a storm that blew away the cloud mist, revealing a tranquil and deep lake beneath, its surface like a mirror.

The lake was approximately a little over a hundred acres large, with thirteen small bronze tripods floating on its surface, occasionally seeing clear streams flowing into the tripods, repeatedly cleansing the Treasure Pills inside.

Zhao Sheng beckoned with his hand, making the thirteen Treasure Tripods all rise into the air at once, disappearing into the sleeve in no time.

After completing this, Zhao Sheng turned to leave.

Not long afterward, he reappeared in a world of rolling yellow sands, the ground covered with earth and stones.

In the Central Earth Realm, Zhao Sheng split open the earth’s crust and extracted three pieces of White Jade Crystal Wall from its depths, each nine meters long and three meters wide.

Next, he visited the Southern Haoyang Realm and Eastern Kong Sang Realm consecutively, similarly extracting numerous heavy treasures nurtured within those realms.

Finally, Zhao Sheng entered the Western Golden Light Mirror but did not immediately retrieve treasures; instead, he transformed into a rainbow and flew out of the Mirror Realm.

...

Southwest of Daze Realm, far from the continent by billions of miles, the Outer Sea Cultivation World was studded with countless large and small spirit islands.

On this day, Daoist Tao Kan had just looted an Outer Sea dominant sect, the Ancient Spirit Sect, and was meditating on a desolate island.

At this moment, the Golden Light Mirror suddenly flew out of his bosom, its surface rippling, revealing a vast gold light.

A figure emerged from the mirror, walking forth to appear in front of Daoist Tao Kan.

Seeing the person before him, the old Taoist was struck with a nervous tremor, hurriedly rising to bow and salute, saying, "Little Taoist pays respect to the True Monarch."

Zhao Sheng gestured for him to arise, and directly asked, "How have you managed the task I entrusted to you?"

"Reporting to the True Monarch, Little Taoist in recent years has explored nearly the entirety of Daze Realm, visiting thirty-eight ancient Nascent Soul-level sects, collecting over a thousand Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. The treasures are with Little Taoist, please let the True Monarch examine them."

With these words, the old Taoist removed a row of Storage Bags from his waist, respectfully handing them over to Zhao Sheng.

Looking at the person before him, the old Taoist was struck with a nervous tremor, hurriedly rising to bow and salute, saying, "Little Taoist pays respect to the True Monarch."

Zhao Sheng gestured for him to arise, and directly asked, "How have you managed the task I entrusted to you?"
