Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

"Hehe, a Mo Xing Taoist from the Heavenly Dao Sect? Let me give you a piece of advice, better leave gracefully, or you might end up dead here today,"

"Heavenly Balance Sect, Daoist Miao Miao!"

Just after a single exchange, Zhao Sheng and that person immediately had a connection, and they recognized each other's identities.

In this world, besides oneself, no outside objects, such as Magic Treasures and Talismans, could be brought in.

The old man with the pale face was about to hurl another threat when he suddenly stopped, his gaze turning around sharply to his surroundings.

Zhao Sheng did the same.

"Everyone, come out! No need to hide, it is unbecoming,"

The moment his words fell, four or five people emerged one after another from the ruins, behind walls, and from within the forests.

Each had a face unfamiliar to Zhao Sheng, yet each carried an extraordinary aura. He could vaguely discern their identities from the presence each emitted.

The woman in the sky blue robe, crowned like a phoenix, no doubt transformed from Saintess Ling Luo.

The proud, striding man with the long braid, undoubtedly Xiao Jiuke.

And that youth, thin as kindling but with a complexion like peach blossoms, seemed to be Xin Baiqin.

"Junior Brother, come over quickly. I'd like to see who dares to make a move in front of Xiao,"

The instant Xiao Jiuke appeared, he immediately gestured for Zhao Sheng to come to his side.

Zhao Sheng didn't hesitate, his figure flashed, and he flew over, standing slightly behind.

In the meantime, he took advantage of using Xiao Jiuke's name, which wouldn't hurt at all.

Hmph!

Daoist Miao Miao saw this scene and, despite a cold snort, did not provoke any further, apparently very cautious of Xiao Jiuke.

At this opening, tunneling lights suddenly rose one after another from the various parts of the Qiu Ling Sect, flying in from all directions.

In an instant, the lights landed, revealing individuals with an exceptional demeanor.

Zuo Lingsun, Purple Jade Fairy, Xin Baiqin… at this moment, thirteen Golden Core True Immortals were all present.

Everyone felt it exceedingly strange; despite all the commotion here, which caused extensive damage to palaces and courtyards, the disciples of the Qiu Ling Sect seemed utterly unaware, continuing their tasks like mere tools.

The crowd eyed each other; in the void, invisible forces ferociously clashed, a storm of spiritual energy secretly brewing and ready to erupt at any moment.

Simultaneously, a great chaotic battle might break out at any minute.

At this moment, no one wished to break the deadlock, fearing that one careless move might make them the target of collective hostility.

After maintaining the standoff for a while, Xin Baiqin was the first to break the silence, "Fellow Taoists, since entering here, has anyone made any discovery? If so, let's discuss it, might it be useful to everyone."

"Xin Baiqin, what nonsense are you talking? If someone had a clue, would they reveal it openly? Are you treating everyone as fools?"

"Hehe, I have traveled through the sect, and the scenery I've seen is always full of vitality. But the people, all with darkened auras, their faces showing signs of impending doom. A disaster of immense proportions might be imminent,"

The speaker was Daoist Bo Zhun from the Mystic Sky Sect, the oldest among them, particularly skilled in divination, with face-reading being merely a minor skill.

No sooner had he spoken than everyone's expressions dramatically changed, all looking towards the sky simultaneously.

In an instant, the resplendent stars vanished, the sky turned pitch black as the Abyss descended, an unimaginable destructive power brewing in the darkness.

At this moment around the Qiu Long Sect, a clamor rose, countless cultivators panic-stricken looking up, their faces showing despair and fear.

"Daoist Bo Zhun, you damned harbinger of doom! It's over, we're doomed now!"

The moment the mournful cry reached Zhao Sheng's ears, his body suddenly stiffened, rendered immobile.

An unimaginable power descended upon the world, pausing the earth and sky at this moment, all things along with it freezing.

Boom!

The entire Heavenly Curtain crashed down, seeming slow but actually unimaginably fast.

Zhao Sheng's vision darkened, and he lost all consciousness.
