Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 609 - 380: Escape with the Treasure

Chapter 609 -380: Escape with the Treasure

The world spun, and black and white were reversed.

Blue skies and white clouds, with twin suns hanging high… atop the mountain peak, a divine light emerged from nowhere and then took on a human form.

Zhao Sheng suddenly opened his eyes and blurted out, “No, I’ve been tricked!”

Uh!

Zhao Sheng looked down and saw the “Sun” made from a Heavenly Dao Fragment lying peacefully in his arms, radiating dazzling brilliance.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng’s thoughts raced, and countless ideas flashed through his mind.

The Star God’s gesture of bestowing treasures seemed exceedingly generous, but in fact, it concealed a mystery.

There’s a saying that all gifts from fate come with a price quietly marked in the dark.

Zhao Sheng believed there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

There’s an old saying, mortals fear consequences; Bodhisattvas fear causes.

This “Cause and Effect” was truly mysterious and unpredictable.

Although Zhao Sheng had received a grand gift from the Star God this time, at the same time… he had inadvertently incurred a massive debt of cause and effect, and the Star God’s cause and effect was not so easily repaid!

Of course, if Zhao Sheng didn’t want to repay it, he could just ignore it.

But while that might deceive others, how could it deceive his own heart?

In his fourth life, Zhao Sheng had already owed a considerable “Cause and Effect.”

And in this life, it was the same.

With this thought, Zhao Sheng suddenly had an idea, “Damn, I’ve been thoroughly ensnared by the Star God!”

However, before he could completely understand.

In the next instant, the mountain breeze, the clouds in the sky, the Great Sun hanging high, the scorching sunlight… everything above and below the heavens, all at the same time, became solidified.

This instant, the world seemed to have pressed the pause button, and even space-time ceased to move, except for… consciousness!

Seeing the world freeze, warning bells rang out in Zhao Sheng’s mind, but his entire body, even the strands of his hair, was imprisoned by an invisible force; he was like an insect wrapped in amber, completely immobilized.

At the same time, the Ancestor Hall thirty miles away silently dissolved into a cloud of black fog in an instant.

The next second, an old man in a black robe walked out of the mist, and he couldn’t help but reveal a crazed, ecstatic look on his face, his eyes burning with fervor.

“Heh heh, after enduring for a thousand years, I have finally seen the fruits of my labor, merit — Perfect… Heh heh!”

When the old man in black robes, no, the Sect Leader appeared, the world seemed unable to bear the pressure.

Crack, crack!

Suddenly, the heavens and earth cracked open with numerous fissures, like a “glass” covered in cracks, extremely fragile and possibly ready to collapse at any time.

However, the Sect Leader was indifferent to the collapse of the Dream Domain, and with a laugh, he stepped out and his figure abruptly vanished from between heaven and earth.

The next moment, he shockingly appeared in front of Zhao Sheng, his eyes burning with greed as he stared at the brilliant “Sun.”

“Heh heh, the heavens do not disappoint those who persevere! It is indeed an Emperor-level privilege, give it to me!”

As these words fell, the Sect Leader reached out to grab the “Sun.”

But at that moment, an unexpected change occurred!

Zhao Sheng, looking at the black-robed old man who suddenly appeared, not only didn’t look frightened but even showed a trace of mockery.

“Good luck to you!”

Zhao Sheng silently mouthed four words, and then, under the Sect Leader’s rapidly changing expression, his figure abruptly vanished right before his eyes.

“No!”

Amidst a mad and furious roar, the heavens and the earth finally could not withstand the pressure and collapsed with a thunderous boom…

…

Meanwhile, in the Rebirth Hall, as the black fog “boiled” and surged, Zhao Sheng’s body suddenly vanished into thin air from within the hall.

When he appeared again, he was shockingly in the pitch-black seawater.

Zhao Sheng abruptly woke up and, without waiting to see his surroundings, barely thought before his figure disappeared again.

As his strength rapidly increased, the distance covered by each Phase Shifting also significantly grew.

Today, Zhao Sheng could cover more than seventy li with a single Shift.

He took several deep breaths and continued to Shift three times in a row, until he stopped at the farthest mark he had drifted to, three hundred li away.

Bang!

The sea surface suddenly parted, and Zhao Sheng shot up into the sky like an arrow, flinging his right hand outward, and a streak of light fired off.

In an instant, the glow surged and transformed into a two zhang long, smooth-bodied, shuttle-shaped streamlined Flying Shuttle!

This Shuttle was named Sun Chasing Shuttle, a Space Escaping Treasure that Zhao Sheng had refined specifically for escape.

Although it was a low-grade magical treasure, its speed was extremely fast, able to cover thirty thousand li in a day.

Zhao Sheng flashed into the Sun Chasing Shuttle.

The next second, the treasure shuttle burst forth with a dazzling light, instantly turning into a streak of light and shooting into the high sky, disappearing at the end of the horizon in the blink of an eye.

…

Just as Zhao Sheng fled in haste.

In the Rebirth Hall, the fourteen Nascent Soul Soul Cores all started spinning rapidly, swept by black light, as the dense fog in the hall, like water drawn by a Mad Dragon, furiously poured into the fourteen cores.

In a blink, the dense fog was completely absorbed; fourteen High-level Ghost Cultivators were about to re-condense their ghost bodies.

At this critical moment, just as the Ghost Cultivators’ ghost bodies were about to form or not, and their consciousness was distracted, an attack struck suddenly!

Hum!

Outside the palace, a succession of bell tones suddenly rang out, and in the next instant, waves of sonic waves flooded into the hall, becoming so Condensed they were visible to the naked eye.

The sonic waves swept across the entire hall, and the fourteen High-level Ghost Cultivators felt as if they had been struck by lightning, their ghost bodies suddenly destabilized, faintly disintegrating.

Boom!

The sonic waves were swift, but the Devil Extinguishing Divine Thunder was equally fast; numerous spherical thunders, like flowing fire, as big as a calabash, seemed to have eyes, finding all the Ghost Cultivators with incredible precision.

With a loud uproar, the hall was instantaneously turned into a sea of lightning as Divine Thunder danced and Lightning crisscrossed, turning the palace in a flash into a sea of thunder.
