Time flies like an arrow, and years flow like a stream. In the blink of an eye, spring has passed and autumn has arrived again, with its refreshing air.

In the past half month, the immense pressure that had engulfed an area of hundreds of miles has been increasingly contained, with its range shrinking day by day, gradually retracting back into the Hidden Dragon Pavilion.

Fei Hong Ancestor, Bai Mei, and others observed this situation and immediately realized that someone was about to emerge from seclusion, so they cast inquisitive gazes towards the Hidden Dragon Pavilion.

On this day, in the Cultivation Dojo, the vast, invisible, and surging aura gradually calmed down.

As the Divine Light between Zhao Sheng's eyebrows slowly dissipated, the Thunder Giant Dharma Image behind him also gradually faded and disappeared from the void.

Shortly thereafter, Zhao Sheng slowly opened his eyes, and two piercing electric lights suddenly shot out from his pupils, instantly illuminating the dim Dao Field as bright as day, with the electric glow lingering for a long time.

After nearly a year of secluded arduous cultivation, he had fully absorbed the gains from this session, with his cultivation advancing rapidly, breaking through to the Nascent Soul Eighth Layer in one go, and the prospect of reaching the Nascent Soul Ninth Layer was not far off.

Zhao Sheng hadn't expected that just one trip to the Desolate Wall Settlement would yield such a great "harvest."

However, the greatest "harvest" was not the enhancement in strength but rather...

Zhao Sheng's face was as calm as water, and with a slight movement of his mind, a silver-white mask with a bullhead thunder pattern suddenly appeared on his face.

He reached out to remove the Kui Niu Treasure, weighing it in his hand, his expression growing grimmer.

Previously, he distinctly remembered discarding this item in the Hundred Herbs Cave Heaven, but upon returning to the Da Chun Realm, it somehow reappeared in the Purple Mansion Soul Sea above, truly extraordinary.

Staring at this Kui Niu Treasure, Zhao Sheng felt a chill down his spine, as if "seeing" an unknown presence's gaze through the Kui Niu Treasure, transcending endless space-time and overlooking him with a gaze incredibly indifferent, viewing all beings as mere straw dogs!

"This item definitely cannot be kept! Keeping it invites disaster; better to discard it far away." Zhao Sheng's eyes suddenly turned sharp, muttering to himself before disappearing from the Dao Field.

In the next instant, a figure suddenly appeared in the Outer Void six million miles away from the Da Chun Realm, and then vanished into thin air.

Like this, Zhao Sheng risked falling, activating Space-Time Teleportation five times in succession, moving to the edge of the "Great Sun" in this star system and tossed the Kui Niu Treasure into the depths of the infinite Fire Sea without hesitation.

Then, he teleported back to the Da Chun Realm in one go.

Upon returning to the Dao Field, his Nascent Soul Divine Thought, vast as the sea, was nearly exhausted.

Zhao Sheng spent half a month meditating to restore his spirit, and his Divine Thought finally returned to normal.

However, his goal completely failed, as the Kui Niu Treasure bizarrely reappeared above the Purple Mansion Soul Sea just a day later.

Seeing its strange reappearance, Zhao Sheng's face turned ashen, yet he was utterly helpless.

The artifact refining technique of that "Immortal Venerable" was far too advanced, completely beyond Zhao Sheng's capability to decipher.

Seeing the treasure could not be discarded, Zhao Sheng could only accept the reality and proceed step by step, after all, there was nothing much to fear—even if it meant life and death.

Three days later, the stone gate of the Dao Field opened slowly, and a tall figure in a white robe soon emerged from within.

Upon exiting seclusion, Zhao Sheng's eyes immediately focused, seeing not far away a child with red lips and white teeth, flowing long eyebrows. This person was none other than Bai Mei, one of the Chen Family's Five Ancestors.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng floated forward, bowing with cupped hands and saluted, "Chen Xi, pay respects to Ancestor Bai Mei!"

Bai Mei examined him from head to toe, his expression was exceptionally complex, and he hesitantly spoke, "You... you... are good! Alas, from now on, don't call me Ancestor, just address me as fellow Taoist!"

In the Big Chun Cultivation Realm, any cultivator who achieved the Nascent Soul Realm was extraordinary wise.

Before this seclusion, Zhao Sheng's cultivation level was clearly no more than Late-stage Golden Core!

Yet in just ten years of seclusion, his cultivation had incredibly surged to Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Behind such unimaginable miracles, the implications were difficult to express in words.

Don't forget Zhao Sheng was twelve years old when he first arrived at the Chen Family and was already aware of worldly matters.

If Zhao Sheng's bow and greetings were to demonstrate identity and allegiance.

Then Bai Mei's words were actually a probing. As for what the probing was about, it goes without saying.

Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed, responding loudly, "Ancestor, why say such things? Though I was originally surnamed Zhao, as they say, upbringing is no less significant than birth. I am both Zhao and Chen. Ancestor, please, think no more of it."

Bai Mei, upon hearing this, reveled in joy, immediately smiling broadly, and exclaimed joyfully, "Good, good, good, blame me for my incessant worrying. Xi'er, quickly follow me to Feihong Cave to meet Feihong Ancestor and the others."

In fact, Zhao Sheng could sense the four powerful auras from the Feihong Cave below even without Bai Mei mentioning it; who else could it be if not the Four Nascent Soul Ancestors of the Chen Family?

Regarding the various concerns and considerations of the Chen Family's Five Ancestors, Zhao Sheng naturally would not intentionally reveal them, thus he nodded slightly, then followed Bai Mei, flying to the Feihong Cave Mansion at the tree's trunk.

Soon afterward, Zhao Sheng indeed saw Feihong, Zheng Jue, Linghu, and Zheng Zhuo, the four family Nascent Souls in the tree's cavity.

After paying respects, Zhao Sheng took his seat, the position having no distinction in rank among the five Nascent Souls, clearly expressing an understanding of equality.

Zhao Sheng glanced around, his gaze pausing for a moment on Ancestor Zheng Jue, who had an immortal demeanor, finally stopping on Fei Hong Ancestor.
