It is said that the greatest fear is not having a powerful enemy, but having an enemy without weaknesses!
With such obvious weaknesses, no matter how strong and terrifying the Tomb Guardians are, they are nothing!
After the third battle, Zhao Sheng waited for half a month before seeing six Gangsha Star Lords arrive again.
This battle lasted a very, very long time.
The Gang Sha Starlight Body repeatedly perished along with the Tomb Guardians, and the time until their next appearance grew longer and longer.
Obviously, it isn't easy to condense a Gang Sha Starlight Body, and the Gangsha Star Lords must pay a certain price; the more they lose, the greater the cost when creating another.
As time went on, the number of Tomb Guardians decreased significantly, yet they became even more elusive and each one more "cunning".
By the middle of the battle, Zhao Sheng had to withdraw from the ruins and hide in a more distant and secret place.
During this period, the Kui Niu Treasure showed frequent abnormal fluctuations, seemingly sensing the presence of its kind, but each time, the connection was severed by some unknown method, leaving much to ponder.
...
Mist shrouded the Heavenly Vault, exuding a chilling cold.
The ruins where you could still see remnants of the palace walls were now completely gone; the surface was covered with unfathomable ravines and big holes.
Only the Platinum Platform stood intact, solitary in the center, resembling a massive stone pillar rising straight up.
At the moment, Tianquan, Tianbao, Tianqiao, and Earth Kindness, the four Gangsha Star Lords, stood on the platform, gazing at the "Light Point" in mid-air, their expressions excited yet bearing indescribable fatigue.
After a three-month long attritional battle, they paid a heavy price to finally eliminate all the Tomb Guardians.
Despite this, the Earth Dark Star and Earth Rampage Star withdrew quietly due to excessive Divine Soul splitting.
The four from the Heavenly Authority Star did not fare much better. Regardless of the outcome of this exploration, upon return, they would need a century of recuperation to barely recover the lost Divine Soul.
This showed how highly they valued the Cave Heaven Mausoleum, going all out to obtain it!
While the Heavenly Authority Star and others were busy arranging the array, Zhao Sheng suddenly had two uninvited guests appear behind him.
However, he was completely unaware until they deliberately coughed.
Cough, cough!
The cough sounded like a thunderbolt, instantly shocking Zhao Sheng, making his hair stand on end, as he turned abruptly to see two grayish-white humanoids.
Among them, one wore White Armor, with a slender figure, while the other bared its teeth menacingly, eager to pounce.
What a coincidence, both had interacted with him before; they were exactly Feng Xianxian and the Golden Strange Ape.
Seeing this, Zhao Sheng's heart inexplicably relaxed; he knew that since the Mad Woman had not acted, it indicated that there were no ill intentions for the time being.
"Beast, be good!" Feng Xianxian slapped the Demon Ape down, casually reprimanding.
The Golden Strange Ape lay on the ground, instinctively curling its arms, trembling pitifully.
What amazed Zhao Sheng was that both the human and the monkey maintained a semi-petrified state, yet their words and actions showed no stiffness, smooth and fluid indeed.
Zhao Sheng stepped back, with Purple Rhombic Scales quietly covering his body, asking with eyes full of suspicion: "Crazy... Senior Feng, I wonder if you came... Could it be for the Cave Heaven Mausoleum?"
The opponents hadn't shown up earlier or later, but at this exact moment; if it weren't related to the upcoming opening of the Cave Heaven, it would indeed be peculiar.
Feng Xianxian seemed to sense his thoughts and suddenly said: "The Mausoleum cannot be entered; anyone below True Immortal entering will die!"
Zhao Sheng was again taken aback by her words, paused before asking further.
Seeing this, Feng Xianxian added: "The reason for my appearance is because only you... are the weakest!"
Naturally, what she would never reveal to Zhao Sheng is that among all choices, she favored him the most because only he seemed most likely to ascend to immortality!
Why?
Simply, the Space-Time Teleportation is the best proof.
Listening to this, Zhao Sheng's eyes flickered, pretending not to understand: "Senior, what do you mean by this?"
Feng Xianxian replied expressionlessly: "Because you are weak, I can trust you to cooperate. Do you want to obtain the Longevity Dao Fruit and ascend to immortality? I have a shortcut to ascend, if you can pay the price, why not tell you."
"Cooperation?... Price?" Realizing something, Zhao Sheng immediately pursued further questions: "How do we cooperate, and what is the price?"
"You are smart! I appreciate you more and more." Feng Xianxian's eyes showed a hint of surprise, rarely giving a compliment.
Yet her next words were: "You can't do it; the petrification curse on me can only be dissolved by an Earth Element Alchemist. So, the first step in cooperation is you must find a high-level Qi Refiner who specializes in the Earth Element, with cultivation at least above Returning to Void."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng didn't immediately respond.
"Of course, I never starve my soldiers, here's part of the reward, given to you in advance now."
Having said that, Feng Xianxian waved, a Flowing Light appeared, flashed into Zhao Sheng's brow, so fast that no one could react.
Instantly, a flood of information surged into his mind—a detailed content of the first two layers of a cultivation technique. Just these layers could allow a cultivator to reach the level of Refining God and Returning to Void.
This cultivation technique is named "Splitting Light Immortal Technique", seemingly an Immortal Law, and a rare time-related cultivation technique.
Suspected because it doesn't use the Immortal Seal to write the cultivation technique content; it uses an ancient script instead, its complexity and mystique far less than the Immortal Seal.
Despite this, the value of the "Splitting Light Immortal Technique" is immeasurable, its preciousness second only to the "Big and Small Ruyi Immortal Skill".
Zhao Sheng ignored the danger, immediately sitting cross-legged, wholeheartedly accepting the frenzied influx of information.
Feng Xianxian watched quietly, with no change in expression appearing on her face.
Thirty minutes later, Zhao Sheng rose and solemnly bowed to Feng Xianxian in gratitude for transmitting the Cultivation Technique.
Feng Xianxian seeing this, said: "No need to rush to thank me; I'm not kind! This is just the start of cooperation. You must leave here immediately, then quickly find the person I need. I will guide you in practicing the "Splitting Light Immortal Technique".
This Law is an orthodox Heavenly Immortal Magic Skill, its content obscure and profound; without guidance from a master, it's extremely hard to grasp. But once cultivated to Great Success, it achieves the Heavenly Immortal Fruit Position. At that time, immortality is possible, and can roam the Constant Sun Heaven."
Among the Nine Void Realms, the Fifth Void Heaven is also called Constant Sun Heaven. Its Heavenly Dao is ethereal; only True Immortals can enter.
Zhao Sheng intended to glean more information from her, subtly inquiring about the events here years back, how she became sealed as a statue, and similar questions.
Surprisingly, Feng Xianxian was tight-lipped, never revealing anything more, always saying she forgot, dismissing all questions.
Later, Zhao Sheng vaguely realized that she might not intentionally conceal, perhaps she truly forgot the events completely.
Or... some unknown power erased her related memories.
During Zhao Sheng and Feng Xianxian's "mental tussle", the four Gangsha Star Lords also completed arranging the Great Array, the array barrier cloaking an area of dozens of miles to prevent unexpected events.
Zhao Sheng looked at the ruins gradually shrouded in thick mist, feeling puzzled, always thinking the Gangsha Star Lords shouldn't be so foolish.
Before entering the Cave Heaven Mausoleum, shouldn't they have "cleaned up" the surrounding area first?
Yet they strangely didn't do so.
If, as Zhao Sheng knows, the Gangsha Star Lords often acted arrogantly like this, then there's no more to say.
However, as he knows, despite their arrogance, the Gangsha Star Lords are cautiously prudent, unable to be this careless.
He felt they overlooked something, yet couldn't recall what it was, but the sense of danger in his heart grew stronger with time.
Seeing the thick mist rising, Feng Xianxian's eyes slightly squinted, suddenly said: "You must leave! Otherwise, later, you won't be able to leave even if you want to."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng reacted, nodding silently: "Alright! I will leave now. I will promptly find the person you need upon returning."
Before finishing his sentence, Zhao Sheng vanished, teleported suddenly without hesitation.
Feng Xianxian was silent for a moment, then suddenly kicked the Demon Ape's head.
The Golden Strange Ape immediately let go of its hands, got up swiftly from the ground, nodding and bowing to Feng Xianxian, its fluffy monkey face filled with ingratiating flattery.
"The person has left, you can come out now!"
Once the words fall, a tall figure quietly appeared not far across.
If Zhao Sheng were still present, would have immediately recognized the figure as Emperor Jiang, who had remained hidden.
"...Why not stop him?" Feng Xianxian asked coldly.
"Haha, why should I stop him?!"
