After a while, Zhao Sheng slowly walked to the mountainside, where an ancient pine tree grew robustly beside the left path, its lush canopy surrounded by clusters of spirit cloud.
"Stop!"
At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly called from behind the tree.
As soon as the words fell, a young Daoist in a dark Daoist robe emerged suddenly from behind the tree.
The young Daoist had a face as fair as jade powder, lips as if painted with vermillion, hair styled with two buns, a cinnabar mark on his forehead, and eyes that were bright and clear, exuding an aura untouched by the mundane world.
Zhao Sheng stopped in his tracks and examined the ethereal and extraordinary young Daoist.
"Who are you? Why do you trespass on my family’s Immortal Island?" The young Daoist’s brows were stern as he questioned aggressively.
Zhao Sheng smiled slightly and clasped his hands respectfully, "I am Zhao Chonghe, tasked by my ancestor to deliver Chaos Divine Blood to the Immortal Venerable today. I hope the young friend can convey this message."
The young Daoist was half-convinced, just about to inquire further, but before he could speak, a voice as gentle as jade resonated from thin air:
"Zhuoyu, do not be rude, quickly bring him to Ao Fishing Cliff!"
The young Daoist trembled, quickly bowed towards the mountain top, and respectfully said, "Disciple accepts the order!"
After speaking, Zhuoyu Daoist straightened his back, turned to Zhao Sheng, and suddenly showed a slight smile on his stern face.
"Taoist Zhao, please follow me!" Zhuoyu said as he gestured invitingly and then turned to walk up the mountain.
Zhao Sheng saw this and followed quickly.
The two soon reached the mountain top, then stepped into the Transmission Array in the center of the square.
As the Transmission Array burst into white light, Zhao Sheng and Zhuoyu instantly vanished without a trace.
...
A flash of light, then the view suddenly expanded, in front was an endless sea, the sea breeze blowing, carrying a faint scent of the tide.
Zhao Sheng glanced around and found himself on a steep vertical cliff, with a White Jade High Platform standing at the edge, where a middle-aged Daoist with an immortal air was sitting cross-legged.
This person was tall, with skin as gentle as jade, a red mole on his brow, wearing a green Daoist robe, with mystical cauldron patterns embroidered on the edges.
Strangely, a faint white glow always veiled his face, obscuring his real appearance.
Zhuoyu Daoist quickly walked to the platform base, bowed, and said, "Master, the disciple has brought the person."
"You may step back!" A gentle voice like jade came from the platform, the same as before.
"Yes, Master!" Zhuoyu slightly bowed again, and then a clear light enveloped him.
In the next instant, the clear light vanished, and Zhuoyu Daoist was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing this, Zhao Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply to the person on the platform, "Junior Zhao Sheng greets Taoyue Immortal Venerable!"
"Haha! No need for excessive courtesy, my young friend. This Venerable had a brief encounter with you in the past. At the time, I found you quite extraordinary, yet seeing you today, I realize I still underestimated you!" Taoyue Immortal Venerable laughed and praised.
Unexpectedly, this praise sent a chill down Zhao Sheng’s spine, almost making him suspect his secret of reincarnation was discovered.
He knew that in his previous life, he had a "one-time agreement" with Taoyue Immortal Venerable, but before fulfilling the Venerable’s conditions, he was forced to self-destruct by Old Ghost Wan Xing.
Could it be that Taoyue Immortal Venerable had some Secret Technique to discern past lives at a glance?
Fortunately, Taoyue Immortal Venerable’s next words instantly dispelled all his doubts.
"When the Outer Domain Ruins Immortal attacked back then, you could, with mere Unification Realm cultivation, fiercely withstand a Tribulation Crossing Realm Demon God, truly opening this Venerable’s eyes!"
Hearing this, Zhao Sheng first breathed a sigh of relief but was soon anxious again.
Unexpectedly, during that earth-shattering battle, Taoyue Immortal Venerable was present, yet no one noticed his existence.
Are Immortals all so unfathomable?
Zhao Sheng’s heart surged, but he instinctively bowed humbly, "This junior does not deserve such praise from the Immortal Venerable! This junior could only temporarily resist relying on a Secret Technique that consumes life span. If the time were prolonged, this junior would not withstand a single attack from the Tribulation Crossing Realm Demon God."
Having said this, he quickly took out a stone box from his arms, offering it forward with both hands respectfully, "The Chaos Divine Blood is in the box, I request the Immortal Venerable to inspect it."
Taoyue Immortal Venerable waved his hand, and the stone box immediately floated into the air, landing in his hand.
In the next moment, the stone box suddenly turned into a powdery substance and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At this time, only a drop of molten gold "amber" remained in Taoyue Immortal Venerable’s hand.
"Chaos... Divine Blood! Rare, indeed rare!" Taoyue Immortal Venerable murmured in admiration as he played with the Divine Blood in his hand.
As he spoke, he suddenly flipped his hand, and the Divine Blood instantly vanished.
After putting away the Divine Blood, Taoyue Immortal Venerable suddenly asked unexpectedly, "I have something to ask you, are you an Immortal Ruins Guest?"
Zhao Sheng’s heart trembled, knowing the main issue had e.
He dared not hesitate and immediately nodded, "The Immortal Venerable’s insight is extraordinary, this junior is indeed an Immortal Ruins Guest."
"Wonderful!" Taoyue Immortal Venerable stood up, suddenly beckoning Zhao Sheng, "e forward."
Seeing this, Zhao Sheng immediately flew onto the high platform, landing three meters away from Taoyue Immortal Venerable, and slightly bowed his body to show respect.
"There is a special region in the Burial Immortal Ruins, named Gun Sea. Have you heard of it?"
Faced with Taoyue Immortal Venerable’s question, Zhao Sheng hesitated for a moment.
However, he quickly calmed his mind, deciding to be truthful, "I dare not deceive the Immortal Venerable! This junior has not only heard of the name Gun Sea but has even entered and exited it several times."
