Chapter 462: Chapter 312 Nascent Souls Gather_2

Back then, his knowledge was lacking, yet he cleverly utilized the Star God Power to deduce this Body Refining Technique, and now, the technique indeed had flaws.

Of course, there is no perfect Divine Skill in the world.

For cultivators below the Nascent Soul, “Immortal Golden Body” might seem like a rare and powerful Body Refinement Realm technique.

But Zhao Sheng felt that he had taken the wrong path in his Body Refinement journey!

However, his foundation had already been established, and it was too late to change now. The flaws of the “Immortal Golden Body” could only be passed on to future generations for improvement.

Atop the stone platform, Zhao Sheng watched the surging magma, his face suddenly showing a hint of madness, corners of his mouth curving up, involuntarily revealing a sinister smile.

The next moment, a bloody face suddenly rose from the depths of his pupils, and a pair of black irises suddenly turned blood red.

Thunk!

At that moment, Zhao Sheng’s body suddenly burst into large swaths of golden flames, and amidst the roaring fire, his spirit suddenly regained clarity, the blood in his pupils dispersed, and his eyes regained their lively sparkle.

Zhao Sheng was startled, shook his hand, and suddenly, a bottle of Soul Stabilizing Pills appeared in his palm, he poured out a green Elixir Pill, and swallowed it in one gulp.

In an instant, a vast expanse of green light spread throughout his Soul Sea, forcibly suppressing the bloody face into the depths of the sea.

In the recent years, the attacks of his Heart Demon had become more frequent, and Zhao Sheng had several impulsive thoughts of cutting his Divine Soul again, but he endured them each time.

His Divine Soul was already very weak. If it were torn several more times, it would certainly collapse on its own eventually.

The Heart Demon stemmed from the curse of the Heavenly Dao, as long as the Heavenly Dao lives, the Heart Demon is hard to eradicate!

That was a deadlock!

Zhao Sheng had no solution for it, and could only try to delay it as much as possible.

A moment later, a streak of firelight swept across the surface of the Magma River, following a deep tunnel, and disappeared in a flash.

…

Ten years later, on the seventh day of the seventh month, the terrifyingly cold Nether Night Season finally passed, and the Netherworld God Realm welcomed a Daytime Season that would last half a year.

That year, Dao Yanfeng had been dead for three years.

Once the mourning period was over, Hua Wu couldn’t wait to marry his twenty-second concubine, a charming and alluring fox woman.

That year, Zhao Sheng’s direct relatives reached thirty-two people, and his first great-grandson had just been born.

But in these past years, Zhao Sheng became increasingly reclusive and unseen by outsiders, and even his sons, Hua Wen and Hua Wu, barely saw him once in several years.

However, because of the Shenglong Great Priest’s secluded and reclusive cultivation, the uneasy powers within the Candle Light Mountain Range gradually relaxed, feeling that the Shenglong Master would not purposefully make things difficult for them.

There’s a saying, “You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours.” Thus, the various powers within the Candle Light Mountain Range put in a lot of effort during the reconstruction of the Fire Saber Tribe.

In just over a decade, the Fire Saber Tribe had once again thrived and prospered, with its people’s morale extremely high.

By the end of the same year, Hua Wen successfully advanced to Foundation Establishment.

Just as Hua Wen excitedly entered the Shenglong Cave Mansion to bring the good news to Zhao Sheng, he discovered that his father had disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only a large number of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and a cave full of Jade Dishware and secret manuals.

…

Three hundred miles outside Sky Fox City, above a breathtakingly beautiful lake, floated a magnificent and splendid palace.

At that time, in the largest hall of the palace, Zhao Sheng was leisurely seated behind a Jade Table, holding a Nine-Colored Cup and slowly savoring the White Hairs Treasure Tea.

“Hee hee, Shenglong, I am a bit late! You must not be angry!”

With a laugh that could enchant all beings, a pink light suddenly rose from inside the hall, emitting waves of a soul-hooking, enchanting fragrance.

Suddenly, the brilliance dissipated and a pink palace robe spread out, covering most of the jade steps.

Above the jade steps, a graceful and soft figure lazily reclined on the Jade Couch, stretching out a pair of jade feet beyond her skirt, slender and exquisitely clear.

Zhao Sheng seemed to ignore the sacred and enchanting countenance, and with an indifferent expression, he said, “It doesn’t matter! As long as the Fairy can trade a few more pounds of White Hairs, even waiting for three days would be delightful for me.”

The Fox Fairy’s eyes sparkled, and waving her sleeves, she immediately sat upright, smiling and said, “Shenglong, they say you are as unfeeling as wood! Yet you have married a bunch of mediocrities. They say you are romantic and sentimental, yet you are completely uninterested in me. Tell me, what kind of person are you really? Am I not a match for you?”

Saying this, the Fox Fairy’s eyes were like water, nodding and lowering her brows in a sorrowful and tearful disposition.

Little did she know, this act could not move Zhao Sheng’s “iron heart” in the least.

“Senior invites me here, is it just to tease me?”

Upon hearing this, the Fox Fairy’s expression tightened and returned to calm, seriously saying, “Shenglong Taoist friend, over these twenty years, our interactions have been plenty, and we have come to understand each other well. I have a tremendously advantageous offer here, would you be interested?”

Oh!

Zhao Sheng looked up upon hearing this, interestedly saying, “I would like to hear more details?”

The Fox Fairy smiled slightly in satisfaction, then began to speak of this excellent affair.

…

After a moment, the Fox Fairy finished speaking and immediately asked, “Shenglong, now that you have been informed of this matter, what are your thoughts?”

Zhao Sheng fell silent, appearing to contemplate the issue.

But in reality, he was thinking about another matter concerning his very life.

The Fox Fairy’s suggestion of searching for treasures in the Divine Ruins suddenly reminded him of something.

In the Mingye Realm, he would never be able to escape the Heavenly Dao.

But what if… he left this realm?

Thinking this, Zhao Sheng couldn’t help but show a hint of excitement in his eyes and immediately nodded, saying, “Such an opportunity, how could Sheng possibly miss it! I just wonder when we shall depart? I believe the sooner, the better.”

Seeing this reaction from him, the Fox Fairy’s heart relaxed, and her delicate face instantly bloomed like a fairy of flora overwhelming all the rest.

“Taoist friend, do not hurry. The arrival of the Nether Night Season will be our time to depart.”

“Hmm, that’s more than two months away! Sheng has just enough time to prepare thoroughly.”

…

Two months passed in a blink of an eye.

That day, the dual suns suddenly dimmed, the vast Netherworld Star was gradually swallowed by “darkness,” the heavenly curtain was tainted with darkness, and soon the whole earth fell into darkness.

On that day, a gold and a pink tunneling light suddenly pierced through the dark heavenly curtain, and from afar to near, like two meteors, they flickered a few times and then descended into a grand and magnificent palace.

“Haha, three hundred years apart, and the Fairy is still as beautiful and enchanting. Old Liu has missed you terribly.”

Upon entering the palace, a robust laugh suddenly resounded in their ears.

Zhao Sheng looked over and saw four Nascent Soul Ancestors presiding in the hall.

The person speaking was a young “Young Master” with a sinister appearance. This person’s hair and beard were faintly blue, emitting a pale blue radiance, and his body was enveloped in abundant, surging Water Vapor, clearly an expert in the Water Technique.

“River Lord Fu You! This person has been brought here as well!” Zhao Sheng was startled to see him.

Then, Zhao Sheng’s gaze quickly swept over the other three individuals, recognizing their identities from their physical features.

The old man with blood eyes on his forehead was the Left Protector of the Netherworld God Sect.

The one who looked like withered wood, seemingly on the brink of death, but with vitality surging to burst forth, was none other than the Qingmu Monster from the Tree Charm tribe.

When he saw the last person sitting next to the Qingmu Monster, Zhao Sheng’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

This person was cloaked in a black robe, with no sign of life force, resembling a dead corpse, but from beneath the cloak stretched out a bowl-thick, grayish-blue tentacle, the end of which had a fist-sized head with a flat, devoid of eyes and nose, only a mouth with uneven sharp teeth.

“This… could it possibly be the Mushroom Mother from the Corpse Mushroom tribe?”

Seeing the anxious expressions of the Wang sisters, Zhao Sheng smiled slightly and said, “I will handle the perfume making, and you will handle the sales. Profits will be split evenly between us.”

“Impossible!” Wang Yu Yan blurted out.

Zhao Sheng calmly said, “There’s nothing impossible! I think you would also prefer not to let your family know about this perfume thing.”

At that moment, he had firmly grasped the situation.

After all, the Wang sisters were quite naive, and Zhao Sheng easily saw through their thoughts.

“How did you guess?”

Upon hearing Zhao Sheng exposing their purpose, Wang Yu Yan’s face drastically changed.

Zhao Sheng felt it was no longer appropriate to provoke them further, lest it backfire.

He explained, “If the Wang Family knew about this, I don’t think it would have been you two coming here today..”

It was then that the Wang sisters realized, they had indeed exposed such a major flaw.

Coming back to her senses, Wang Yu Yan seriously said, “Half the profits are too much, let’s split twenty-eighty, you take twenty.”
