In the blink of an eye, a series of internal conflicts and fierce battles swiftly unfolded within the ruins of the mountain gate.

Thus, the secret of the complete destruction of the Ghost God Sect was quickly leaked by a remnant who escaped with their life.

The Ghost God Sect was one of the oldest Demon Path sects in the Spring Birth Realm, with overall strength not inferior to other top-tier great sects.

It is imaginable what kind of tremendous waves this sect's annihilation would stir in the Mo Continent Cultivation World.

In less than a year, all the overlord-level and first- to second-tier cultivation forces in Mo Continent, Mountain Continent, and Central Continent learned of this shocking event.

As the Cultivation World of Mountain Continent was abuzz with this news, some cultivation forces closely related to the Cloud Mist Zhao Family soon sensed something amiss.

It's just that in the past year, too many "treasures" have flowed from the Zhao's hands, most of which bear the distinctive style of the Ghost God Sect.

One of the most obvious examples is that every Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the Zhao's family possesses a top-grade Spiritual Artifact-level Ghost-controlling Banner.

With the aid of Foundation Establishment Realm ghostly creatures, the Zhao's Foundation Establishment practitioners have seen their strength skyrocket, making dueling and killing foes effortless.

Within several months, the upper echelons of the Mountain Continent Cultivation World all became aware of the Zhao's various "suspicious" aspects.

Numerous intelligent individuals quickly deduced something, and naturally, sent people to probe for information and gather more evidence.

Although Zhao Clan Members avoided the topic, more and more evidence suggested that the Ghost God Sect must have been destroyed by the Zhao Family.

Otherwise, why would the Cloud Mist Zhao Family possess so many "spoils of war"?

As this terrifying "truth" was uncovered by more and more cultivation forces, the Cloud Mist Mountain Range quickly became bustling, with Zhao's Station teeming with guests.

Countless sects and clan envoys arrived in succession, nearly trampling down the Zhao's threshold.

Perhaps due to Ancestor Meng Han's hint, the Golden Core Masters of the Zhao Family did not intentionally hide the "truth"—they merely smiled without answering when asked, seemingly denying but actually tacitly admitting it.

In fact, everything from beginning to end was orchestrated by Zhao Menghan in the shadows, with the aim not only to rejuvenate the Zhao's prestige but also to deliberately maintain a sense of mystery.

Only the mysterious and unknown can maintain the greatest deterrent!

The confidence behind Zhao Menghan's actions naturally came from Zhao Sheng, who had stayed reclusive.

The final result was, as expected, without any surprises!

The Cloud Mist Zhao Family rapidly became the most untouchable mysterious family in the Spring Birth Realm, while the dispersed branch clan members also began to quickly return.

In just three years, the overall strength of the Cloud Mist Zhao Family doubled significantly, and with the passage of time, its strength would continue to increase.

Zhao Sheng wasn't too concerned about the future development of the Cloud Mist Zhao Family; most of his focus was on researching the Puppet Spirit Core.

However, he also reallocated a Returning to Void Splitting God to specifically guide the cultivation of young clan members.

With his personal guidance, the benefits to the Zhao's cultivators were immense, to the point where one could say it "defied fate."

Over three years, the Cloud Mist Zhao Family gained three more Golden Core Masters, with no fewer than fifty successful Foundation Establishments, and most importantly, the birth of the second Nascent Soul Ancestor within the clan.

This "lucky one" was none other than Zhao Xingyu, the beautiful woman in green that Zhao Sheng first encountered.

...

Buzzing!

In the depths of the cave mansion, a Crystal Treasure Bead with a diameter of several zhang hovered in mid-air, slowly rotating while casting a vast expanse of dazzling spirit light.

Countless ancient symbols continuously emerged and submerged within the spirit light.

Space-time fluctuations reverberated repeatedly here, gradually intensifying.

Inside the Crystal Treasure Bead, layer upon layer of "Crystal Wall" inscribed with billions of Immortal Seals flickered with an ever-changing glow, like breathing.

Zhao Sheng stood beneath the Spirit Core, at his feet lay an unconscious body—the True Monarch Fengyi, who had survived till now.

After meticulously researching for three years, Zhao Sheng roughly understood the complex structure inside the Spirit Core. Now was the perfect opportunity to use this person's Primordial Spirit as a test, utilizing it as waste material.

After repeatedly deducing several times, Zhao Sheng's eyes shone brightly. Suddenly, he formed a series of hand seals, and streams of Divine Light appeared out of nowhere, quickly merging into the Spirit Core, transforming into thousands of strands of Divine Thought "threads" that spread across all the Crystal Walls.

Subsequently, strand upon strand of Divine Thought "tentacles" probed into the spiritual space at the center, slowly intertwining with the spiritual light group.

"Go, Primordial Spirit, leave the body!"

With a light command from Zhao Sheng, a small "Primordial Spirit" about a foot high floated out from Fengyi True Monarch's brow, then was caught by the cascading spirit light, involuntarily flying into the Spirit Core.

In an instant, this Primordial Spirit fell into the spiritual space, then under the manipulation of countless Divine Thought tentacles, was gradually merged with the fragmented spiritual light group, thus slowly transforming into another form.

The transformation process was quite lengthy!

Zhao Sheng focused entirely, not daring to lose concentration for a moment, using half a year to slowly merge the two, initially repairing this Central Spirit Core.

The most challenging task was completed, making the following assembly steps naturally smooth sailing.

In just ten days, a towering Spirit Puppet with a leopard head and human body appeared before Zhao Sheng.

The Spirit Puppet's eyes shone with a lively and intelligent light, evidently possessing extraordinary spirituality.

At this moment, Zhao Sheng looked at this Spirit Puppet and suddenly said, "Feng Yi, attack with all your might!"

"I dare not!" The Leopard Head Spirit Puppet trembled all over, hastily kneeling and bowing its head, its voice quivering.

Over three years, Fengyi True Monarch, having endured innumerable tortures, had become exceedingly docile, unable to muster a hint of rebellion against Zhao Sheng.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng noncommittally scrutinized it for a moment, only shifting his gaze away when the Spirit Puppet was shaking all over.

"In that case, let me find you a suitable opponent."

With that said, Zhao Sheng waved his long sleeve, collecting the Leopard Head Spirit Puppet into his sleeve.

The next moment, the cave mansion was empty of his presence, with no trace of him.

...

The Red Sea lies northwest of the Mountain Continent, nestled between two major continents, vast and boundless, a paradise for countless deep sea giant beasts to breed.

The deepest part of the Red Sea is undoubtedly one of the most dangerous forbidden places in the Spring Birth Realm, populated by the most terrifying, mysterious sea creatures, some of which rival the strength of a Divinity Transformation True Monarch, making it historically rarely visited.

On this day, in the Upper Sky of this forbidden sea region, a person appeared out of nowhere.

Zhao Sheng gazed down at the dark and deep sea, his Divine Thought expanding instantly, covering thousands of miles of sea area.

"Oh, an ancient Sea Spirit!"

Exclaiming in surprise, Zhao Sheng instantly teleported three thousand miles away.

Below, the sea was deep and dark, but in the center, there was a circular small island, entirely black, blending indistinguishably with the equally dark sea unless observed closely.

If someone could dive into the sea, they would discover that this small island was actually a part of a giant beast's back exposed in the sea; its main body lay at the sea bottom.
