"No, the Immortal Puppet has boundless potential, it is our clan's greatest foundation, it cannot be lightly exposed. Moreover, this artifact was refined less than a hundred years ago, and its power has not even reached thirty percent of its intended potency. If it were to be destroyed under a great calamity, it would truly be a waste!"

Upon hearing this, Fei Hong Ancestor immediately spoke up to stop Ancestor Zheng Jue from "ruining his future".

The Immortal Puppet is not only the Chen Family's greatest foundation, but also the treasure upon which Ancestor Zheng Jue relies to achieve the Dao, it cannot be easily discarded.

In fact, in his opinion, he would rather let the Da Chun Divine Tree be destroyed by the calamity than risk the Immortal Puppet.

Because as long as Zheng Jue and the Immortal Puppet remain unscathed, they could even forcibly take a Three Tribulations Divine Tree from other families when the time comes.

These calculations in the heart of Fei Hong Ancestor were never shared with others, but presumably, others had similar thoughts.

"If it doesn't work, we have to seek help from the Sili Family. As long as we can borrow the Eight Treasures Tribulation Transfer Copper, the success rate of Crossing Tribulation can be increased by at least twenty percent. But in doing so, the price we pay will be great." Chen Zhengcheng suggested again.

"This is an excellent suggestion, this matter should be addressed sooner rather than later!"

Fei Hong Ancestor nodded slightly, turned to the Bai Mei, and said solemnly, "Third, you have always had broad connections, I'll leave the matter of borrowing the treasure to you."

"Hmm, I will do my utmost, but I fear the Sili Family might outright refuse, or else demand too high a price..."

"It matters not! Just do your best. If in the end, it doesn't succeed, then it must be the will of heaven, and cannot be forced!"

Fei Hong Ancestor's expression was calm and composed, despite facing a life and death trial, he exhibited extraordinary nonchalance.

"Hmph! We shouldn't have let that brat leave back then, otherwise there wouldn't be such troubles today. Indeed, a thankless wretch, in my opinion—"

"Zheng Zhuo, shut your mouth!"

Seeing Chen Zhengzhuo speaking more and more inappropriately, Fei Hong Ancestor immediately interrupted him from continuing.

Even so, Chen Zhengcheng's face immediately darkened, he couldn't help but snort coldly, full of discontent but held back from retorting.

At the same time, Ancestor Zheng Jue also looked up at him, his gaze filled with meaning.

Realizing the situation wasn't good, Grandmaster Zheng Zhuo quickly changed his tone, "Hehe, this old man was merely anxious and occasionally misspoke... just misspoke."

"It's alright, Zheng Zhuo means no harm, Zhengcheng, don't take it to heart." At this moment, Bai Mei suddenly spoke to ease the situation.

"The Ancestor is right. Mere words of complaint, this old man forgets as they pass my ears." Chen Zhengcheng replied coldly.

Others' faces may not matter, but Bai Mei's face must be respected, after all, according to bloodline, Chen Zhengcheng is Bai Mei's eighth-generation great-grandson.

These words came out, and the tense atmosphere immediately relaxed.

Fei Hong Ancestor nodded privately, was about to speak again, but before he could, his expression suddenly changed.

In an instant, an overwhelming and magnificent oppressive force swept in from outside the cave, filling the entire cavern, like an impossibly colossal mountain, pressing heavily on everyone, making them feel unable to breathe for a moment.

In the next moment, this terrifying and overwhelming pressure receded like a flood, at this moment a streak of Purple Thunder shot into the cave, falling before everyone.

The Thunder Light condensed, revealing a tall, transcendent, and handsome young man, it was Zhao Sheng who had returned.

Bang!

Fei Hong Ancestor almost lost his composure as he stood up abruptly, but accidentally knocked over the Jade Table in front of him.

But he had no time to care about such trivial matters, Fei Hong Ancestor... no, everyone was deeply shocked, looking at Zhao Sheng in unison, almost too stunned to speak.

Only after Zhao Sheng greeted everyone did Fei Hong and the others regain their senses.

"My heavens... how can he have become a True Monarch! Could it be I sensed it wrong just now?!" Chen Zhengcheng couldn't help but groan softly, muttering to himself.

"A heaven-sent genius, truly a heaven-sent genius!"

"Good, good, good, now the Chen family is saved!"

"Alas, I thought I could take the lead, how fate plays with us!"

"Hush... Hmm, indeed a talent of our family! With you, the future of the family, this old man can die in peace now."

Fei Hong Ancestor, sensing the Law Fluctuation emitting from Zhao Sheng, couldn't help but speak with heartfelt emotion.

Seeing that his purpose had been achieved, Zhao Sheng immediately retracted his aura, returning to the state of Returning to the Truth.

"...it's all my fault, I just now worried the honored Ancestors!" Zhao Sheng said humbly, while glancing at Grandmaster Zheng Zhuo, causing him to blush as if struck by lightning.

Fei Hong Ancestor noticed his small action but pretended not to see it, smiling with a gentle tone, "Your timely return is already a great merit, where is the fault? Come, take a seat."

"What Hong Ancestor said is absolutely right!" Chen Zhengcheng responded immediately upon hearing this.

After that, he looked at Zhao Sheng, feigning to be stern and said, "Hurry and sit down, do you expect this old man to invite you?"

Zhao Sheng smiled, flew up to the platform, casually chose a Jade Table, and sat cross-legged behind it.

At this time, Spirit Lake Fairy could no longer contain her curiosity and spoke first to inquire about his experiences over the years.

Zhao Sheng naturally knew what everyone most wanted to ask, but unfortunately, he could not tell the truth.

Therefore, he recounted some stories of traveling across the heavens aboard the Refreshing Spirit, as well as several significant events upon returning to the Black Sand Realm to everyone.

Of course, among these "stories", some were told in detail, some were omitted, half true and half false.

As for how he managed to break through the Divinity Transformation Realm, Zhao Sheng simply attributed it to the Red Eyebrow Dao, in short, everything was "a fortuitous coincidence".
