Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Yama Ancestor saw this person's appearance and instantly retreated two steps, expressing extreme shock as he lost his voice, "You... you are Shiyao Ancestor!"

"Hehe! I have already walked the world for a thousand years. I didn't expect there are still people who recognize me. Rare, truly rare! I remember you; you seem to be a Little Nascent Soul from the Corpse Mushroom clan, seemed to be called Yan... Yama something..."

The words of the grey-robed elder were directed at Yama Ancestor, but his gaze never moved away from Zhao Sheng.

Moreover, the more this person examined him, the more his eyes filled with delight, as if seeing a peerless treasure.

Zhao Sheng felt somewhat uncomfortable being watched by this person, and without turning, gave Yama Envoy a meaningful glance.

Understanding the gesture, Yama Ancestor immediately transmitted divine thoughts to his ear, explaining the newcomer's identity and background.

The grey-robed elder is the Supreme Ancestor Master of the Asking Dao Sect, renowned from three thousand years ago for his infallible divination, earning the name "Divination God Calculation."

Later, this person faded from the public eye over a thousand years ago, but before retreating, his cultivation had already reached the Nascent Soul Perfect Realm.

In the past thousand years, since Shi Yao Ancestor hadn't been heard from, people gradually assumed he had sat down due to exhaustion of his life span.

Today, it was unexpected that this person suddenly appeared before the two.

Seeing Shi Yao Ancestor still alive, Yama Ancestor was most shocked, as this meant he must have successfully broken through a formidable bottleneck, becoming a Great Ability at the Absolute Peak that could influence the destiny of a realm.

Having listened to Yama's explanation, Zhao Sheng's pupils shrank involuntarily; examining the grey-robed elder again, his eyes showed profound seriousness and vigilance.

Shiyao Ancestor, seeing this, smiled kindly, waved his hand and said with a smile, "Little Friend, do not fear! No matter where you come from, and regardless of whether you are a friend or foe, I have not come to trouble you, but rather seek your assistance."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng felt a stirring in his heart, already contemplating many things from the person's words.

To him, the Divinity Transformation True Monarchs of the Netherworld and another realm are very likely friends, not foes.

After all, these True Monarchs standing at the Absolute Peak are constantly at risk of being devoured by the Blood God.

Even so, the grey-robed elder's candidness still caught Zhao Sheng by surprise, greatly reducing the hostility within his heart.

"What does the senior mean by this? If the senior has a task or two, he might first inquire with my companion, Brother Yama. I believe he will offer his unwavering support."

Upon hearing this, Yama Ancestor immediately chimed in, "Brother Tianqiong's words are indeed correct. If the Ancestor has tasks, I am willing to serve loyally."

"Oh, your name is Tianqiong? What an interesting name. Just from hearing it, you belong to a person of great Qi Fortune, destined to become an Immortal Ancestor!" Shiyao Ancestor looked at Zhao Sheng with a cheerful smile, growing even more expectant.

Zhao Sheng felt a chill in his heart, becoming even more cautious.

Throughout history, the two kinds of people in the Cultivation World who are the most troublesome to deal with, apart from the mystical Witch Sacrifice Evil Cult, are the fortune-telling masters who divine and cast spells.

This is because these professions love to peer into the secrets of heaven and destiny, thus ordinary cultivators often keep their distance from them.

Without a doubt, Shiyao Ancestor is an ancestor in the field of divination and calculation, and it's not surprising he could discern his origin.

Zhao Sheng raised his hand in salute, saying, "Junior is merely a Wandering Practitioner, and by no means deserves such praise from the Ancestor!"

"Ah, friend's words are mistaken! Tianqiong is indeed Qiong Tian. There is a prophecy saying: flowing with the world as a man and defying it may become immortal, just an inversion between! Clearly, you were born with great fortune, carrying the mission of restoring and correcting, reordering the laws of heaven and earth."

Zhao Sheng heard this, his heart greatly shaken, yet he forced himself to contain his astonishment, expressing disbelief and said, "Senior, are you joking with me? I do not understand the meaning of your words."

"Haha! You might not understand now, but you will naturally comprehend the deeper meaning of my words in the future." Shiyao Ancestor laughed heartily upon finishing.

Then, he suddenly turned to Yama Ancestor, with a faint tone, asked, "Suddenly I feel a bit tired. Yama, find a place to sit and rest for me, from now onward I will temporarily reside here."

Seeing this, Yama Ancestor hurriedly gestured invitingly, politely saying, "Ancestor, there is still a top-notch cave mansion on the ship with the densest Spiritual Energy. Please follow this way with the junior now!"

"Hmm, lead the way." The grey-robed elder nodded in satisfaction.

Two tunneling lights rose and swiftly flew out of the grand hall.

Zhao Sheng stood alone in the hall, watching them depart, his mind a whirl of chaotic and tumultuous thoughts.

He did not doubt for a moment that Shiyao Ancestor had come specifically for him.

But Zhao Sheng couldn't understand, what was this person's real purpose?

Did this person truly see divine secrets? Or did he prophesy some clues of the "Blood Plague Two Realms" in advance and came to pursue the main culprit?

However, as it seems for now, this person's intentions are clearly benevolent and have not shown any malice.

Shiyao Ancestor's power is unfathomable, there is a ninety percent chance he is already a True Monarch.

Since his strength is far inferior to the other, Zhao Sheng has no choice but to take his words as truth, temporarily observe and adapt as circumstances develop.

Yama Ancestor left for a while, then hurriedly returned to the grand hall.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng immediately inquired about his views on Shiyao Ancestor's sudden appearance.

Yama Ancestor's response was similar to Zhao Sheng's thoughts.

This person is likely a friend rather than a foe; otherwise, both would have been captured by this person from the start, possibly even killed.

The Black Ship accelerated and kept flying faster. On the second day, its speed exceeded three hundred times the speed of sound, then maintained the maximum speed, beginning a long five-year journey.
