Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 303 - 240: Seven-Colored Rainbow Light
Chapter 303: Chapter 240: Seven-Colored Rainbow Light
As Kong Lang fled down the mountain in a panic, his face hidden in his hands, Zhao Sheng strode into the Absolute Peak Pavilion, while the other competitors also exhibited their divine skills for the remaining one hundred and six Guest Houses, not hesitating to fight fiercely for them.
Of course, those with a strong background and well-known reputations, such as Jian Shisan, Song Xingyun, Jin Wulin, and others, naturally no one dared to provoke.
Kong Lang was originally one of those who should not be provoked, but who asked him to encounter an unconventional Zhao Sheng?
While everyone was fiercely competing for their residences, no one knew that behind a white cloud above Wutong Mountain lay a tall, green-robed, disheveled-bearded, decadent uncle.
This person had a sheathless iron sword resting behind his head and held a three-inch-tall, exquisitely carved jade gourd in his right hand. From the mouth of the gourd steamed red lotus blossoms, emitting a fragrance of wine that could even intoxicate immortals.
The decadent uncle looked to be about forty, with a hint of weariness in his brows, a somewhat scattered gaze, flushed cheeks, and a slightly drunken expression.
After taking a gulp of Red Beauty Drunk and spilling some on his chest without care, he mumbled in a drunken haze,
“That little Taoist from Carefree Sect doesn’t abide by the rules, just like his Ancestor; such a ghostly figure. The youngsters from Purple Sun Sect have no prospects, the Elixir Cauldron Sect is too rigid, no hope for Golden Core; the kid from Vast Sect is quite clever though, so fast…
Uh, those from the Sky-Splitting Sword Dao all look like they were cut from the same mold, what Sword Dao ancestral temple, a single sword breaking all magic skills? Bullshit! No wonder they can’t produce a Divinity Transformation even after thousands of years.”
No one knew who this person was, but his bold tone was frightening, seemingly paying no regard to the Ten Great Sects of Central Continent.
However, at this time, this person’s presence on Wutong Mountain must undoubtedly be related to the Dong family.
And it seemed, he had come specifically for Zhao Sheng and others.
What was even more astonishing was that, although Wutong Mountain was not very large, covering an area of three hundred miles, this man lying on the cloud, while drinking, managed to see every move of all the people within the three hundred miles.
This was simply incredible!
One should know that in the Tianzhu Realm, only a Divinity Transformation True Monarch could possibly encompass an area of three hundred miles with their divine thought.
“Sigh, it won’t do, there are only two or three Loose Cultivators, really lackluster compared to previous times. The younger generation today is nothing but a bunch of embroidered pillows.
No bright futures! It would be good fortune if any of these people could become Nascent Soul in the future!”
A trace of loneliness flashed across the face of the decadent uncle as he raised the gourd to his mouth to drink, but suddenly stopped mid-air.
“Eh, this kid is interesting, very interesting!”
He suddenly exclaimed with a rare gleam in his eyes.
“A vigor like a Dragon Elephant, and this speed, this reaction… tsk, tsk, an oddity has once again appeared in Tianzhu Realm. If he’s a bit smarter and doesn’t die midway, in eight hundred to a thousand years, he might become a Nascent Soul, and perhaps… even take to the road together.
Two thousand years, huh! I’m young enough to wait, but I’m afraid those old folks might have grown impatient already.”
Muttering to himself, he showed a rare seriousness on his face.
…
In the Absolute Peak Pavilion, Zhao Sheng was unaware that an old oddity had taken quite an interest in him.
He walked into the Absolute Peak Pavilion, took a tour around, and after observing the furnishing and architectural style in the rooms, his eyes revealed a look that said, “as expected.”
The study room, the four treasures of the study, bookshelves filled with ancient books, and ancient paintings hanging on the walls, every detail was telling him… just how terrifying the Dong family’s grasp of the human heart was.
The Dong family must have anticipated that Confucian Scholars from the Lingyun Academy would stay in the Absolute Peak Pavilion if they visited Wutong Mountain, hence they decorated this pavilion earlier in the style that scholars liked.
If his guess was correct?
With this thought, Zhao Sheng approached the bookshelf, casually took out an ancient book, and opened it. It turned out to be a rare rubbing of a stele, with the text of a stele inscribed on the pages. On closer examination, they were ancient seal characters from the Mortal World, which he happened to recognize.
“Heavenly Mansion Water Source Notes.”
The rubbings in the book seemed accurate, with some of the text still very clear, though many were incomplete. However, the large characters on the left were preserved well enough for Zhao Sheng to discern.
Water Source Notes were often documents about water veins recorded in the Mortal World. Zhao Sheng knew that many literati and refined visitors would casually write down a few Water Source Notes during their travels, and then have them carved in stone to commemorate.
The rubbings of this stele, presumably, recorded the water veins of the Tianfu Plain.
“In the land of Heavenly Mansion in Central Continent, there were historically nine rivers and eighteen lakes, from the Upper Prefecture downstream, crisscrossed by a network of water, where the Three Rivers came together, the source of the river veins is called ‘he’, connecting internally to Lin Yang, and out to the East Nether Sea…”
Zhao Sheng carefully read it over and suddenly felt something strange, with a familiar sense to it.
Upon reflection, he suddenly remembered some Taoist Skills he had previously seen.
Taoist Skills placed great emphasis on understanding and often contained many metaphors.
Zhao Sheng carefully compared them and found that rather than describing the water veins of Heavenly Mansion, these Water Source Notes seemed more like a Cultivation Method filled with hidden metaphors.
“Just as I thought, the Dong family truly… so delicately clever!”

Zhao Sheng couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement, then concentrated and calmed his spirit, as his mind suddenly plunged into the vast void.
At a mere thought, one golden figurine after another instantaneously emerged in the void.
Having cultivated the “Star God Thousand Heart Technique” until now, he had reached the realm of Ten Thoughts and was capable of performing ten tasks with one mind.
Zhao Sheng stilled his heart and concentrated his spirit, and in the profound expanse, his consciousness split into ten, fusing with the ten golden figurines that were identical to himself.
