Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 529 - 344 Summoning the Gods
Chapter 529 -344 Summoning the Gods
The two fell silent for a moment.
Then the other person spoke, “Here, take this.”
After speaking, the other party threw a Space Storage Seal.
Zhao Sheng reached out to catch it, and as it grew heavy in his hand, Divine Sense probed into it. He felt a peculiar fluctuation; an eight-foot-tall Hedgehog Gold Statue appeared in his mind, wrapped in a misty aura of incense smoke that almost solidified.
What’s more important…
“What would you like to exchange, Taoist? If you don’t mind, may I ask where did you obtain this item?” Zhao Sheng asked, his eyes showing satisfaction.
Upon hearing this, the person suddenly said, “You ask me a question, and I want to ask you one as well. Fair enough!”
“The voice is quite pleasant. A female cultivator? The age should… not be very high!”
Zhao Sheng muttered to himself secretly, but verbally responded, “Very fair, what would you like to ask, Taoist?”
The person hesitated for a moment before asking in a deep voice, “I won’t ask for your origin or your full name. I just want to ask one question, why is there an imprint left by the Holy Daughter of my sect on you?”
Hmm?!
Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng furrowed his brows, and an image of a transcendent woman in white, pure as a white lotus, surfaced in his mind.
“So careful, yet I still fell for the other party’s trick. Indeed, none of the prisoners locked in the Seventeen-layered Prison are simple,” he sighed inwardly.
Through the black mist, the other party could not see his expression, but seemed to sense the turmoil in his heart.
The woman immediately pressed, “You’ve met our sect’s Holy Daughter recently, haven’t you? Where is she imprisoned now?”
Zhao Sheng pondered for a moment and then nodded, admitting, “Indeed! Although I do not know which sect you come from, I likely have met the Holy Daughter you mentioned.”
“Where is she now? As long as you tell the truth, the Sky Heart Sect will reward you handsomely,” she insisted.
“You are actually a member of the Sky Heart Sect. Could it be that your sect has revived once more?” Zhao Sheng was very surprised.
The Sky Heart Sect once posed a major threat to the Heavenly Dao Sect, with an exceptionally large collective power. Despite being destroyed multiple times over millennia, it always managed to rebuild its doors, exhibiting a vitality even more formidable than that of a cockroach.
The woman did not respond directly to Zhao Sheng’s question, but continued to persistently inquire about the whereabouts of the Holy Daughter.
Zhao Sheng, of course, could not easily reveal the truth, so he said, “Taoist, I have already answered your question, but you haven’t answered mine. Where did this thousand-year-old Hedgehog God Statue come from?”
Seeing this, the woman answered very straightforwardly, “This item was obtained by chance, from a remote small county under Songlan Prefecture. The local believers were vast in number, but it’s a pity they inadvertently provoked our sect. Later, an elder from our sect took action and destroyed the Divine Temple, and the Divine Statue also fell into my hands.”
Zhao Sheng nodded slightly, “What kind of treasure would you like to exchange for? Cultivation Technique? Spirit Pill? Spiritual Artifact, or something else?”
The woman stepped forward, waved her hand as if to clear the black mist in front of her eyes, and said firmly, “Those are no longer important. All I want to know now is the whereabouts of our sect’s Holy Daughter. Just tell me the truth, and this Hedgehog God Statue is yours.”
Zhao Sheng’s gaze flickered as he said gravely, “Tell me everything you know about this Hedgehog God.”
“Agreed!”
Immediately, the woman produced a Jade Pupil Scroll and placed it on her forehead, inputting all relevant information into it all at once.
After a moment, the woman removed the scroll and lightly tossed it over.
Zhao Sheng caught the Jade Scroll and said lightly, “The Holy Daughter of your sect is currently imprisoned in the Divine Prison on the seventeenth layer, she’s still alive for now.”
Upon hearing this, the woman was both shocked and delighted, and eagerly asked, “May I ask, Taoist, when did you see the Holy Daughter? Is there a way to see her again?”
“Hmm, the information on the meeting time has a price, and sending a message has another price. Not to mislead you, I am also a Wind Carrier,” he explained.

Overjoyed by this, the woman said, “The price is negotiable, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied. If you could manage to rescue the Holy Daughter, the reward from our sect will definitely exceed your expectations.”
“Let’s not discuss the rescue for now; do you still want the preceding information?”
“Of course, why wouldn’t I? How about three hundred Spirit Stones? If you can send a message to the Holy Daughter, the price could increase tenfold, to three thousand Spirit Stones!”
An offer voluntarily made is naturally not to be refused.
Zhao Sheng immediately raised the price, “I am not short of Spirit Stones. If you could add another Divine Statue that has received a thousand years of incense, or deliver snakes, hedgehogs, bats, toads, and other such spirit beasts, I might agree. Moreover, a discussion about a rescue might be negotiable too.
Remember, it must be spiritual spirit beasts capable of connecting with humans, don’t try to fool me with ordinary demon beasts.”
The woman from the Sky Heart Sect, without hesitating, agreed, “At most half a month, the items you asked for from our sect will surely be delivered. Where should we meet?”
Zhao Sheng smiled and said, “The Ghost Market is a good place, let’s meet here. Half a month later, goods delivered, deal done!”
“As per your word, agreed!”
…
Moments later, Zhao Sheng returned alone to the White Bone Chair Forest, the woman from the Sky Heart Sect having already left the Ghost Market.
When the people at the Ghost Market saw him return, many immediately sent him messages.
Zhao Sheng, adept at multitasking, warmly “communicated” with the crowd, often concluding a deal in a few words.
He was open to all comers for the Five Communicating Spirit Beasts and Five Passes Divine Statues. The more he acquired, the greater his options.
About another hour passed, and everyone had completed their transactions.
Then, someone suddenly lit an incense stick and said, “Trading is over, now everyone is free to trade information.”
