Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 288 - 233 I Have Made Contributions to the Family_2

Chapter 288: Chapter 233 I Have Made Contributions to the Family_2

Over the past three hundred years, the Xinglong Zhao family prospered thanks to this treasure land, having opened spiritual fields and medicine fields measuring in the thousands of mu, truly the envy of onlookers.

But let’s get to the point!

Faced with Zhao Xuanjing’s demanding inquiry, Zhao Sheng showed no fear and with a flip of his hand, a somewhat antiquated booklet and a azure jade scroll appeared.

“Ancestor, please do not wrongfully accuse Great-Grandfather. As for how I knew this secret? The truth lies within this booklet; you’ll see once you look at it,” he said.

As he spoke, Zhao Sheng handed over the booklet.

With skepticism, Zhao Xuanjing took the booklet and opened it, only to be physically shaken and his eyes widened with shock.

“This is… Uncle Seven’s… handwriting?!”

Looking at the familiar handwriting on the booklet, Zhao Xuanjing’s normally steady hands began to tremble slightly, his face showing an expression of deep reminiscence.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng’s eyes twinkled with a hidden smile, silently proud of his own craftiness.

It goes without saying, the booklet was a forgery of his own making.

But in some sense, it was truly written by Zhao Chonghe.

Zhao Qingyang was Zhao Chonghe, and Zhao Chonghe was Zhao Qingyang.

No two Zhao Shengs could be penned by a single stroke.

Ha-ha! Everyone in the world knows it’s all my doing.

After quickly reading through the booklet’s contents, Zhao Xuanjing seemed somewhat incredulous, yet puzzled.

It turned out that the booklet was a will left by Uncle Seven, Zhao Chonghe, which said that he was going to do something significant and likely wouldn’t last much longer.

Hence, he had written this will in advance, explaining some arrangements he’d left behind and specially addressed many entrusted matters to Zhao Xuanjing, Zhao Xuan’an, and Zhao Keru, among others, with particular emphasis on matters regarding the Mountain Dragon and Zhao’s Secret Mansion.

Furthermore, at the end of the will, he wrote a most peculiar and cryptic prophecy: “Every five hundred years, the Zhao Family shall produce a Saint!”

Around the word “Saint,” Zhao Chonghe rambled on for several pages, ultimately revealing the most crucial point.

The Zhao’s “Saint” could perceive the mysteries of heaven, born with such knowledge.

However, the workings of heaven must not be revealed, for should the Saint disclose these mysteries, they would surely incur heavenly retribution; one could only hint at them posthumously through writings.

To prove that his words were true, he wrote in the will: “Three hundred years after my passing, at the Shattered Star Outer Sea, on Dome Turtle Island, the second branch of the Zhao family will continue to thrive!”

Finally, the will also included two upper grade Cultivation Methods glimpsed from the designs of heaven.

After reading it, Zhao Xuanjing clenched the booklet tightly and sternly asked, “Where did you get this from?”

Without any sign of panic, Zhao Sheng took out a pile of treasures from the Storage Bag, the most prominent being nearly a hundred beads the size of eyeballs made of Geng Gold Pearl.

“Don’t be hasty, Ancestor! It was quite by chance. Weren’t we just at Taifu Mountain offering sacrifices to our ancestors three months ago?

The weather was so hot that I stealthily went down to immerse myself in the Emerald Waves Lake for a bath. While diving, it was quite the coincidence that I found our ancestor’s relics.

And from them, I learned just how deeply you had hidden your secret,

who would have thought that our family actually had a living Mountain Dragon!

In a few years, won’t you become the first Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Xinglong Zhao family, and the Saint of the Zhao Family no less?” Zhao Sheng grew more animated as he spoke, his face eventually filled with an exaggeratedly ingratiating expression.

Zhao Xuanjing replied impatiently, “Don’t try to flatter me. Whether I’m a Saint or not, don’t you think I would know? I can see right through your little schemes at a glance.”

Perhaps because of the astounding nature of the will, even the always composed and dignified Patriarch Zhao rarely lost his composure.

Three hundred years ago, after the Zhao family established its foundations in Xinglong Origin, they had sent people to Shattered Star to reestablish contact with the overseas branch on Dome Turtle Island.

Zhao Xuanjing naturally knew that the prophecy left on the will was not unfounded.

He gestured with his hand and the Geng Gold Pearls instantly flew up and landed in his hand.

Zhao Xuanjing felt the melting traces on the Geng Gold Pearls, which he had melted down by hand.

Thinking back to Uncle Seven’s handwriting, Zhao Xuanjing no longer doubted the authenticity of the will but remained half-convinced about the notion of the Saint.

“What else is there? Bring them out quickly!”

“Here they all are,” said Zhao Sheng cheerfully as he passed over two Cultivation Technique Jade Scrolls.

One contained the “Heavenly True Water Skill” with the attached Divine Skill “Sumeru Water Realm.”

The other was an original Gold Element Body Refining Technique called “Solid Body Technique,” which Zhao Sheng had renamed “Immortal Golden Body,” signifying the indestructible nature of gold.

The “Heavenly True Water Skill” was originally an evolution of the “Mystic Primordial Heavy Water Technique.” Although both were interrelated, the former was much more sophisticated and profound, with unlimited potential.

Zhao Xuanjing realized upon seeing this Cultivation Method that the family had truly stumbled upon a treasure.

This method described a very lofty conception of the Sumeru Water Realm Divine Skill, and at the end of the method, it even deduced how this Divine Skill could transform into a Nascent Soul Domain, needing only someone to advance to Nascent Soul to elevate it to a Nascent Soul level Divine Skill.

Having been founded nearly a thousand years ago, the Zhao family had collected over a hundred cultivation techniques, yet none could compare to this one.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.

What excited him the most was that the complete “Mystic Primordial Heavy Water Technique” had been obtained from the Star Sea three hundred years prior and was now stored in the deepest part of the family’s Scripture Cave.

There were already four Foundation Establishment Clan Members in the family who had used this technique for their Foundation Establishment.

If these four could switch to cultivating this “Heavenly True Water Skill,” their transition would be exceptionally smooth, and they might even have a chance at advancing to Golden Core.

Zhao Xuanjing was greatly delighted inwardly but for the sake of the Ancestor’s dignity, he maintained an impassive face, placed down the Jade Scroll, and turned to browse through “Immortal Golden Body.”

Just by reading the opening of the Body Refinement Technique, Zhao Xuanjing couldn’t help but applaud the progenitor who had created it.
