"Very well! I'll be straightforward. I need you to go to the Gun Sea and find something for me. This item is the Gun God's skeleton, even just finding a single piece would be excellent!"

"May I ask, Immortal Venerable, where exactly is the Gun Sea located?" Zhao Sheng inquired, though he already had some idea in his mind.

"The Gun Sea is within the Burial Immortal Ruins. This place is extremely dangerous, don't be careless, you must act with utmost caution," Taiyue Immortal Venerable instructed.

After speaking, he flipped his hand, and a perfectly round, crystal-clear jade plate appeared in his palm.

The jade plate was covered with dense space-time spirals, it was indeed a new Orbit Instrument Jade Plate.

Taiyue Immortal Venerable handed the jade plate to Zhao Sheng and advised, "This item is necessary for the journey to Gun Sea. The track instrument pattern, only someone like you, who meets the conditions, can see clearly. Keep it well and make several copies later."

Zhao Sheng, hearing this, curiously asked, "Even you, Immortal Venerable, cannot see?"

"The Burial Immortal Ruins, that ghost place, I avoid it as much as possible, why would I 'walk into a trap,'" Taiyue Immortal Venerable avoided discussing it, yet his words revealed a great apprehension toward the Burial Immortal Ruins.

"Alright, let's talk business. The matter of searching for the Gun God's skeleton, I won't force it upon you. Regardless of whether it's hundreds or thousands of years, I can afford to wait. But this matter must not fail, if it does, the consequences for you need not be reminded, you should understand well."

"The small cultivator understands!"

Zhao Sheng naturally understood, the other party's intervention was entirely because he was considered useful.

In truth, this was a transaction, both sides knew it well.

After speaking, Taiyue Immortal Venerable did not forget to offer a sweet reward, deliberately enticingly saying, "When the task is accomplished, I will personally guide you into the sect and assist you in ascending to immortality!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng was greatly moved, a perfectly timed expression of excitement and longing appeared on his face, and he flipped over to kneel, repeatedly thanking.

In a certain sense, Taiyue Immortal Venerable's words indeed carried some sincerity. After all, Zhao Sheng had the Immortal Device Five Thunder Ring by his side, his future chances of crossing tribulation and ascending compared to other Tribulation Crossing Venerables were several times higher.

If he could guide Zhao Sheng into the sect, it would be greatly beneficial to him.

Taiyue Immortal Venerable seemed satisfied, nodded, and immediately instructed Zhao Sheng to get up.

"...Concentrate and calm, ready for my casting!"

As soon as the words fell, his whole body emitted white light, within the light countless True Texts of Law could be seen shining, faintly transmitting mysterious sounds.

Taiyue Immortal Venerable waved his hand, vast immortal light rushed onto the Kui Niu Treasure, simultaneously a portion of immortal light flew into Zhao Sheng's body.

Zhao Sheng's expression changed slightly, feeling an indescribable profound force surging into his limbs and bones, then crashing into his Purple Mansion Soul Sea, intertwining delicately within his Primordial Spirit.

The Primordial Spirit suddenly radiated divine light, seemingly greatly stimulated, countless "silk strings" appeared from invisibly.

These "silk strings" not only penetrated the body of the Primordial Spirit, but also extended into the boundless Soul Sea.

From afar, countless "silk strings" reached out from the Purple Mansion, their other ends linking the Kui Niu Treasure.

Zhao Sheng's spirit shook, suddenly the Soul Sea became dazzlingly bright, white immortal light filled the world, seemingly omnipresent.

Within these immortal lights, contained infinite inscrutable mysterious power, continuously washing away and dissolving dense, eerie "silk strings".

Moments later, the Primordial Spirit "Zhao Sheng" suddenly let out a painful roar, waves of unbearable divine soul agony spread throughout his body, the degree of pain far exceeded any torment in the world,

He felt as though he had fallen into Abyss Hell, experiencing endless days, as if every moment was exceedingly long.

"Don't get distracted! Now is the most critical moment, how many thought strings you can sever depends on your will." Taiyue Immortal Venerable's voice reached his ears, snapping Zhao Sheng back to consciousness.

He immediately refocused his will, desperately resisting the unimaginable divine soul agony!

It was unclear how much time had passed, when suddenly the extreme pain subsided like a tide, Zhao Sheng's Primordial Spirit now appeared somewhat blurred, its radiance significantly dimmed.

Above his Soul Sea, the Kui Niu Treasure had been sealed within a transparent crystal, at this time it appeared as a dead object.

At this moment, Zhao Sheng seemed to have shed a heavy burden, the heaviness in his heart disappeared all at once, his consciousness felt incredibly relaxed.

The next moment, the radiance of will burst forth involuntarily, cleansing the surrounding hundreds of miles in an instant.

As he willed it, the radiance of will that covered the heavens suddenly changed again, and in the void behind him appeared a three-headed, six-armed figure. Its entire body was covered in purple-black scale armor, and it had wings on its back.

At first glance, it seemed like a hybrid of several types of creatures, yet it also looked pieced together from five or six kinds.

Unlike the Kui Niu Dharma Form affected by the Treasure, the current Will Dharma Form was led by the Primordial Cell Will, completely in harmony with himself.

Among the three heads, the human head was in the middle, on the left was the Golden Strange Ape, and on the right was a lion's head with fluffy hair.

This image corresponded precisely to the three main bloodlines of the Human Clan, Sun and Moon Divine Ape, and Thunder Roaring Divine Lion, while the Primordial Flood Dragon, Puppet Insect, and that mysterious bloodline were in weaker positions.

Even more surprising was that his cultivation advanced rather than regressed, not only breaking through from Returning to Void Second Level to Third Level in one go, but even vaguely touching the threshold of Returning to Void Fourth Level.

"Very good, you certainly did not disappoint me. Now the Demigod Device has been sealed by me. For at least eight thousand years, your life will be safe. But there's one thing, you must never set foot in the Desolate Wall Settlement again, or not even the Daluo Golden Immortal can save you," Taoyue Immortal Venerable specially reminded.

"Thank you, Immortal Venerable." Zhao Sheng showed a hint of joy on his face and bowed deeply to Taoyue Immortal Venerable.

After casting the spell just now, Taoyue Immortal Venerable's body dimmed significantly, appearing somewhat transparent, clearly having consumed too much. This projection of Immortal Thought could not last much longer.

However, he was unconcerned and casually said, "The Supreme Sensing Sect is a branch of my teachings, and the spiritual treasure, Chun Jun Pot, bears a special mission. Do not provoke it in the future to avoid unnecessary troubles."

"Yes." Zhao Sheng nodded in agreement.

"Very good! You must take to heart what I instructed. However, there is no need to be too anxious, or you'll waste my efforts by needlessly losing your life," Taoyue Immortal Venerable seemed to attach great importance to Zhao Sheng, reminding him again before leaving.

What could Zhao Sheng say? He could only solemnly promise repeatedly that he would not be careless.

"I am leaving!"

As these words fell, Taoyue Immortal Venerable abruptly transformed into a stream of flowing light, disappearing into thin air from Zhao Sheng's perception.

Watching the Immortal Venerable depart, Zhao Sheng suddenly exhaled a long breath, and his previously suspended heart slowly settled down.

Immediately after, his figure flickered, and he suddenly sat back on the cushion, closing his eyes and entering a meditative state, beginning to fully absorb the countless insights from this "adventure."

...

Two years later, in a land of vast green waters and mountains.

A black tunneling light shot in from afar, stopping mid-air, revealing a figure — an old man with childlike features and crane-like hair, clad in black robes.

This person's gaze contained a bloodthirsty glint, looking extremely sinister, with a faint purple light swirling deep within his pupils.

He surveyed the surroundings briefly, nodded in satisfaction.

This uninhabited place with thin Spiritual Energy was an excellent place for secluded cultivation.

The creatures in the nearby mountains and forests were swiftly cleared by the black-robed old man.

Soon after, he moved his body into a valley, stopping in front of a seemingly hidden fog-laden rock wall.

The black-robed old man flicked his fingers, several black sword lights shot out, quickly hollowing out a rather expansive cave, and then cut out several rooms inside, creating a temporary cave mansion.

Then he found a giant stone to seal the cave entrance, and only after placing multiple Prohibitions within the cave mansion did he safely enter the deepest chamber and sit cross-legged.

Gathering his chaotic desires, the bloodthirsty red light in the black-robed old man's eyes subsided, and his gaze slowly returned to its usual clarity.

At this moment, in his Purple Mansion Soul Sea, an ugly giant shadow with indigo skin and fangs was attaching itself to his Nascent Soul Magic Body, seemingly trying to seize his Divine Soul.

The black-robed old man was the last Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Ghost God Sect. During the sect's calamity, he happened to be in the Central Continent collecting treasures, thus luckily escaping disaster.

After the mysterious annihilation of the Ghost God Sect, all the surviving remnants were hunted by the major Righteous Path forces in the Cultivation World, causing the number of disciples to decrease rapidly, with the remaining ones hiding desperately, not daring to show themselves again.

As the highest cultivaator among the remnants, the black-robed old man naturally suffered the most brutal pursuit, once besieged by three Righteous Path Nascent Souls simultaneously, he had no choice but to self-destruct his Lifebound Divine Banner, barely escaping death.
