The sky was covered with dark clouds, the earth below stretched with continuous mountain ranges, dotted with massive volcanoes. Columns of pitch-black smoke rose like gigantic black pillars connecting heaven and earth, standing tall between the heavens and the earth.

The air was thick with the scent of sulfur, with fiery red magma rivers meandering over the surface, emitting enormous amounts of scorching fire qi.

Suddenly, a streak of electric light flashed across the horizon, illuminating the darkness for a split second, darting over vast mountain ranges and roaring towards the depths of the endless infernal abyss.

Riding day and night without rest, Zhao Sheng compressed the journey of sixteen days into nine. Now, the Gui Ruins Square was within reach.

However, after so many days, Wuzhiqi, with only one remaining head, was on the brink of death, with its divine soul almost falling into a coma.

If in the outer realm, Wuzhiqi, being a Great Power of the Unification Realm, would never have deteriorated to this extent.

But due to the special laws and harsh environment of the Burial Immortal Ruins, the result was that a dignified Great Power of the Unification Realm fell into a dire state within ten short days.

It was only because Zhao Sheng was "benevolent and righteous"; if it were other Divine Beast Messengers, they might harbor malicious thoughts.

Half a day later, a streak of electric light descended onto an open space by a magma lake. In a flash of light, Zhao Sheng's figure appeared.

At this moment, he cradled Wuzhiqi's head in his hand, looking forward just as the air suddenly split open from the sky downward, quickly forming a portal opening towards both sides.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Sheng took large strides and walked in.

...

Having been away for half a year, his return felt like a lifetime had passed.

The workshop was lined with shops, bustling with crowds, the sounds of vendors haggling and bargaining incessant.

Most of the passerby were dark and reserved, with a severe demeanor, resembling experienced old demons.

As soon as Zhao Sheng stepped into the workshop area, he became the center of attention, with everyone casting glances at him. Pedestrians along the way stepped aside, voluntarily clearing a path.

Zhao Sheng walked calmly into the street, heading towards Hundred Herbs Heaven.

Just then, he felt a sudden lightness in his hand, as the originally dying Wuzhiqi suddenly flew into the air, eyes abruptly opening, emitting two long beams of divine light.

Then, this person gratefully said in a loud voice, "Junior brother Kui Niu, I will never forget this life-saving grace! In the future, I shall repay it tenfold. I urgently need to repair my flesh and cannot drink and chat with a junior brother now. I hope you will forgive me."

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng immediately said, "Senior brother Wuzhiqi, you're too kind! The most important thing now is to heal your injuries quickly. We can drink to our heart's content in the future."

"I will first go to heal. Once I recover, we shall drink endlessly at Immortal Feast Heaven."

Zhao Sheng smiled and said, "It's a promise, endless indulgence!"

Wuzhiqi nodded at him and instantly transformed into a beam of water light, disappearing into the entrance of Hundred Herbs Heaven in a blink.

Zhao Sheng watched the other vanish, thoughtfully retracting his gaze, sweeping his eyes over the entire street.

The next second, his gaze suddenly sharpened, the corner of his mouth slightly curved, then he stepped towards a nearby street stall.

The stall owner, wearing a Ten Thousand Beasts Daoist Robe, with dark skin and an honest appearance, was none other than Bi Jie, a disciple of the Spirit-controlling Immortal Sect.

"Senior, you're back?" Bi Jie hurriedly stood up, face full of joy, and saluted respectfully.

"Hmm, did you bring any message from over there?" Zhao Sheng, too lazy for small talk, directly asked.

"Yes, yes, the master uncle already asked me to deliver a few Imaging Jade Scrolls to you. But you were nowhere to be found for a long time, so it's been delayed until now."

Saying this, Bi Jie quickly took out three milky white jade scrolls from his sleeve and respectfully handed them over.

Zhao Sheng's eyes flickered, immediately capturing the Imaging Jade Scrolls and released several strands of original spirit into them, instantly having countless voices and images flooding into his mind.

One breath,

two breaths,

three breaths,

Zhao Sheng's emotions surged, transitioning from excitement and joy to gradually turning subdued and melancholy, finally feeling a slight regret.

"The Tianzhu Realm... has declined to such an extent? It seems I must return quickly; there might be a turning point..."

Zhao Sheng murmured to himself, suddenly crushing one of the Imaging Jade Scrolls, then storing the other two in the Sumeru Space.

Bi Jie, observing from the side, vaguely sensed that Senior Zhao seemed not to be in high spirits, so he dared not speak recklessly, only waiting quietly for the senior to inquire.

However, Zhao Sheng had no intention of inquiring, instead taking out several blank jade scrolls and proceeded to inscribe them in front of him.

A moment later, he handed these jade scrolls with set Prohibitions to Bi Jie and repeatedly instructed him to quickly deliver them personally to Zhao Xuanjing.

In a certain sense, the value of these jade scrolls was immeasurable.

The reason was simple: the jade scrolls not only recorded Zhao Sheng's complete insights into the Taoist Laws of Five Elements, Lightning, Space-time, Light and Darkness, but also appended with a corresponding high-level cultivation method, spanning from Qi Refinement Realm all the way to Returning to Void Realm.

It can be said that any one of the jade scrolls could create a large cultivation force and serve as a treasure for suppressing Qi Fortune.

Zhao Sheng originally should not pass on such heavy treasures via others to Zhao Xuanjing.

However, the Taisu Spiritual Realm and Taiyi Spirit Realm are too far apart; even calculated by Void Realm Space-time, the distance between the two realms is at least several hundred thousand Constant Years apart.

In real space-time, this number is two magnitudes larger.
