Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 1576 - 851: The Great Saint’s Grand Wish, First Meeting with Tianyunzi (3)
Aside from that, even the Supreme Sect’s Hierarch was alerted by this matter. He went so far as to send an avatar to personally recruit Zhao Hongyun into the sect, appointing him as one of the ten protectors, a position of great transcendence and reverence.
However, a strange thing is that Zhao Sheng, after searching through the Secret Pavilion, discovered that ever since Zhao Hongyun advanced to Unification, he has rarely appeared in public, and records about him in the Secret Pavilion are extremely scarce.
If it weren’t for his appearance at the millennium birthday celebration of the Ancestor eight thousand years ago, Zhao Sheng would have suspected that Zhao Hongyun had secretly passed through the Nine-nine Tribulation and quietly headed to the Taiching Spirit Realm.
Back to the point!
It was from Zhao Hongyun’s words that the Zhao Family learned of the existence of the Golden Crane Great Saint and that the Great Saint had left behind a cave mansion on the Innate Divine Continent of the Taiching Spirit Realm.
The first two grand wishes were fulfilled by Zhao Hongyun, and by realizing the last great wish of the Golden Crane Great Saint, the Zhao Family would be able to receive the Great Saint’s final gift.
This is a once-in-forever great fortune, a grand opportunity!
Every high-ranking member of the Zhao Family who knows this great secret is overwhelmed with joy, each harboring the desire to fulfill this last wish.
Unfortunately, the Taiching Spirit Realm is so distant that, to this day, no one within the Zhao Family has been able to reach it.
You can imagine the immense impact on Zhao Dashan’s heart when Zhao Sheng said he had a way to reach the Taiching Spirit Realm!
After repeated confirmations, Zhao Dashan was overjoyed and hurriedly took Zhao Sheng out of Chongyue Cave Heaven.
Soon after, one by one, the Zhao Family "Immortal Ruins Guests" in various major Spirit Domains of the Four Holy Continents received a decree from the Three Ancestors.
The Three Ancestors commanded them to return to the Ancestral Land as quickly as possible.
The "Immortal Ruins Guests" did not dare to hesitate and set off for the Teleportation Hall on the day they received the decree, using the Teleportation Array to return to the Ancestral Divine Land.
As time passed, over a hundred Zhao Family "Immortal Ruins Guests" returned to the Ancestral Divine Land, awaiting the appearance of the Three Ancestors.
The Three Ancestors, Zhao Dashan, did not keep them waiting long and soon secretly met with them, issuing a simple task.
"... Immediately head to the Burial Immortal Ruins, investigate which Immortal Ruins Guest hails from the Taiching Spirit Realm. Once the target is found, return to the Ancestral Land and report back without error!"
After the crowd received the command, Zhao Dashan hurriedly departed.
...
Summer faded into autumn, and the weather grew cooler by the day.
On the ninth day of the ninth month, a rare auspicious day of the year.
On this day, Zhao Sheng finally met the legendary Child of Destiny, "Tianyunzi," Zhao Hongyun.
Zhao Hongyun’s True Body was absent, only an Avatar had come.
In the Ancestor Hall, Zhao Sheng looked with some surprise at the person opposite him, instinctively developing an uncomfortable and exceptionally bizarre feeling.
The person before him bared his chest, exposing his breasts, barefoot in rough clothes, with a fat and clumsy figure that appeared quite ordinary, in no way resembling a Heavenly Dao’s favored child with great Qi Fortune.
On the contrary, his forehead was shrouded in dark clouds, his eyes glowed green, and his expression was dull and lifeless.
No matter how one looked at him, he appeared as if plagued by misfortune and doomed to a short life.
Zhao Sheng was especially disturbed by the extraordinarily strange appearance of the man’s face, the left side as black as ink, and the right side snowy white, resembling a Yin Yang face.
The more Zhao Sheng observed, the more he felt that the person before him was fated to encounter calamity and that the signs of death were unmistakable.
Zhao Hongyun let him scrutinize to his heart’s content, then opened his mouth with a smile, "What? Have you also noticed that I’m not long for this world?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng’s heart trembled, and he immediately composed himself, respectfully bowing with a formal salute, "Junior Zhao Sheng, pays respect to the Second Ancestor!"
Zhao Hongyun extended a hand to lift him, then turned to Zhao Dashan and laughed softly, "This child has uniquely deep Qi Fortune, probably even stronger than I was back in the day. With this child, you and I can retire with our work finished."
At this, Zhao Dashan was greatly astonished, quickly saying, "Although this child has the ’Immortal Form,’ he can’t compare to you, Second Ancestor, who are favored by the Heavens. You are too generous with your praise!"
Zhao Hongyun shook his head and said, "Not so, not so! Surely you know, there is always a higher mountain, someone greater beyond."
