Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 555 - 356: What Virtues and Abilities

Zhao Sheng slowly opened his eyes to see the Que Yue Great Priest sitting cross-legged on the cushion opposite him, looking utterly dejected.

“Great Ancestor, as a respected figure of the Nascent Soul Realm, would you please stop toying with your junior?”

“Run or not run anymore?”

“Not running, never running again. Whatever you ask, just command me. My flesh is at your disposal,” Zhao Sheng said in a submissive tone as he sat up from the ground.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Que Yue’s eyes widened as he sternly rebuked, “I am not an Evil Demon; what use do I have for your flesh? Tell me, where did you learn that bizarre Instantaneous Movement Divine Skill?”

Upon hearing these words, Zhao Sheng thought to himself that it was just as he suspected.

Indeed, it wasn’t the phase shifting that drew the attention of such a high-ranking Nascent Soul Great Priest, but rather a mere Foundation Establishment small cultivator.

Moreover, Daoist Que Yue was the most renowned strongman of Diancang Province, with a cultivation at least at the Late-stage Nascent Soul Realm; he was a legendary figure who could suppress millions of miles with his power alone.

The Netherworld was divided into eleven continents, and the Heavenly Dao Sect dominated the Cang Continent, with influence extending to two neighbouring continents that were slightly smaller in size.

In the Cang Continent, the Da Gu Heavenly Dynasty held absolute dominion, occupying over eighty percent of the land, with sixteen provinces under its jurisdiction. Each province spanned over a million miles, roughly equivalent to the Southern Border area of the Central Continent.

The territory of Diancang Province was slightly smaller than that of the Southern Border, but it was also more than a million miles.

As the concentration of spiritual energy in the Netherworld was generally higher than in the Tianzhu Realm, it resulted in a greater number of high-end powers in the Netherworld.

However, at the Peak of God Transformation, the numbers between the two realms were not much different.

Zhao Sheng, being of low status at the moment, was not privy to these utmost secrets.

Nevertheless, he had no time to care about these matters, for he had found himself in an extremely dangerous situation where one wrong move could prematurely end his life.

Daoist Que Yue’s demeanor was extremely grave.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng knew all too well what it meant.

Let’s not forget that in his previous life, he too was a Nascent Soul Ancestor, and he was very clear about what his “Fellow Daoists” were thinking.

Unfortunately…

“Reporting to the Great Priest, my ‘Instantaneous Movement’ is not something I learned, but rather an inherent ability,” Zhao Sheng stated truthfully.

“Impossible! You lie!” Upon hearing this, Que Yue’s Magic Robe rustled intensely, and an indescribable, terrifying Sword Intent suddenly surged into the heavens.

Bang, bang, bang!

In an instant, the cushion and table turned into a pile of dust; the surrounding stone walls were covered in countless deep sword marks, with rays of light faintly penetrating from the outside.

Fortunately, the Sword Intent vanished as quickly as it surged, and Que Yue quickly regained his calm, his presence deep and unshakable.

Zhao Sheng spread his hands and said candidly, “You don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do. I’m sure you have repeatedly scrutinized my body; you probably know it better than I do myself!”

After hearing this, Que Yue appeared thoughtful and nodded slightly.

Seizing the moment, Zhao Sheng pressed on, “To learn such a Divine Skill as Instantaneous Movement must be incredibly complex. If I had learned it, there surely would be ‘traces’ left in my meridians, Dantian, and even my flesh. With your abilities, it would not be hard to find out. But the truth is, I don’t know how to do Instantaneous Movement; I’m merely unusually talented. Like the legendary Innate Taoist Body.”

At the mention of the Innate Taoist Body, a sharp glint came into Que Yue’s eyes, as if he had thought of something.

The Innate Taoist Body is a miraculous level of aptitude higher than that of the Heavenly Spirit Root, with such individuals being one in a billion. Legend has it that those with this Spiritual Body naturally absorb nature’s spiritual energy from birth. At the age of eleven or twelve, they naturally establish their foundation, and after reaching adulthood, a few years of casual cultivation would easily allow them to form their Golden Core.

The Innate Taoist Body is akin to being the Heavenly Dao’s own child. As long as they don’t fall prematurely, a position as a Divinity Transformation True Monarch is assured for them, and even Ascension to the Spirit Realm is quite possible.

“You… Hm!”

Daoist Que Yue was about to speak when he suddenly paused.

Zhao Sheng’s heart tightened at this, a hint of trepidation creeping in.

Just then, golden light erupted from Que Yue’s eyes, bright like two dazzling suns. A wisp of Divine Thought instantly pierced through Zhao Sheng’s mind, plunging deep into his Soul Sea.

“Look into my eyes!”

The moment Zhao Sheng’s gaze met the golden light, he was dazzled and his Soul Sea churned tumultuously. A towering, celestial figure descended, overwhelming Zhao Sheng’s Divine Soul.

“This is bad!”

Capitalizing on the last shred of clarity, Zhao Sheng issued one final command.

Phase Shifting!

Instantly, he disappeared from before Que Yue’s eyes.

Humph!

That cold huff resounded like a powerful drum, exploding in his mind.

In a secluded corner thirty miles away, just as Zhao Sheng returned to reality, he stumbled and fell heavily to the ground.

From then on, the moment Zhao Sheng gained even a hint of consciousness, he would activate Phase Shifting without hesitation.
