Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 323 - 248: Getting Married

Chapter 323: Chapter 248: Getting Married

At the Debate Conference, Zhao Sheng amazed everyone with his profound poem of enlightenment. Subsequently, several challengers took turns to step up onto the stage to debate and discuss the mysterious nature of the Tao in hopes of subduing Zhao Sheng.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Sheng, with his eloquence as though blossoming flowers sprang from his tongue and his words as flowing as a suspended river, singlehandedly confronted all the heroes, causing each challenger, though initially spirited, to finally retreat in complete disarray, covering their faces in shame.

On the third day of the Phoenix Meeting, the Debate Conference virtually became Zhao Sheng’s personal performance stage.

Kong Lang, Jin Wulin, and the others couldn’t comprehend why someone as young as Zhao Sheng had such profound and extensive insights into the Tao and principles.

If one might say that in the first two days it was through martial strength that he suppressed everyone, although they were verbally convinced, in their hearts they were not, for cultivation is not about demonstrating bravery in a single moment, but about who can proceed the furthest on this path.

Even if one is unrivaled at the Foundation Establishment stage, if they cannot advance to Golden Core, it’s all in vain!

However, Zhao Sheng’s astonishing performance at the Debate Conference forced a band of proud prodigies to lower their haughty heads.

Everyone knew that a cultivator’s understanding of the Tao greatly determines the heights they could reach in the future.

“As long as this person survives, he will surely have a place in the future of Central Continent!”

Watching Zhao Qingyang speak eloquently on stage, Kong Lang and the others suddenly had a strong premonition.

…

On the fourth day of the Phoenix Meeting, at the Alchemy Conference, Zhao Sheng modestly displayed his superior alchemy skills.

…

On the seventh day, at the Talisman Appreciation Meeting. Zhao Sheng introduced a new type of Second Order True Talisman — the Great Sun Fire Eye Talisman. His fluid and masterful technique in talisman making made everyone else feel inferior.

…

Half a month later, Zhao Sheng and Dong Miaozhen had become very familiar with each other, gradually harmonizing each other’s Heart Intent.

On this day, he finally saw the affection in Dong Miaozhen’s eyes, and for the first time, he held her hand.

It was then that Zhao Sheng realized the time had matured for entering the room.

As the day neared dusk by Perch Phoenix Lake, a couple stood shoulder to shoulder.

Gazing at the glittering golden lake surface, Zhao Sheng suddenly spoke with conviction, “Tomorrow, I’d like to meet Family Head Dong. Please convey my intentions tonight on my behalf!”

“Yes!”

Dong Miaozhen’s eyes swirled, her cheeks blushing shyly as she timidly nodded.

Even though she had long known how it would end, she still couldn’t help but feel incredibly shy when the day finally arrived.

…

The next morning dawned with the sun just beginning to rise, its path greatly illuminated.

As Zhao Sheng, dressed in white robes and a purple coronet, stepped out from the Absolute Peak Pavilion, he was greeted by a giant Yunhuang Mountain Phoenix Bird quietly laying on the ground outside.

Upon seeing Zhao Sheng, an elegantly faced elderly man with a long beard immediately bowed respectfully, “Young Master Zhao, the Family Head has instructed this old servant to invite you to Cloud Top Peak.”

Cloud Top Peak is the core residence of the Weaver Dong Family, the undertone of the old man’s words being self-evident.

Zhao Sheng smiled slightly, warmly responding, “Then I shall trouble you!”

Shortly after, the Yunhuang Mountain Phoenix Bird let out a long cry, its wings flapped, creating clouds of mist between its white feathers, and easily carried the two off the ground,

Once above the Cloud Sea, the Yunhuang Mountain Phoenix Bird shifted its wings, turning to fly deep into the Yunhuang Mountain Range.

In just a moment, they passed thousands of miles; along the way, they saw only a vast, magnificent expanse of the Cloud Sea, waves upon waves cascading endlessly.

At that moment, the Yunhuang Mountain Phoenix Bird suddenly let out a clear cry, plunging headfirst into the Cloud Sea below.

Zhao Sheng felt his surroundings enveloped in mist, his Divine Sense mysteriously bound within the Purple Mansion, and relying solely on Eye Power, he couldn’t see the surroundings clearly.

Like an old horse that knows the way, the Yunhuang Mountain Phoenix Bird skillfully navigated through the Cloud Sea, gliding and turning for a while before finally landing on a jade-stone square shrouded in mist.

The sights along the way need no elaborate description.

Before long, under the guidance of the long-bearded elder, Zhao Sheng finally met the contemporary Family Head of the Weaver Dong Family, Dong Yiren, and her husband, Lu Hao.

Due to the unique nature of the Dong family, the Family Head position has always been held by a woman, with the husband being a chosen prodigy who becomes the son-in-law.

Dong Yiren was a dignified and voluptuous woman of unparalleled beauty.

In contrast, the “son-in-law” Lu Hao seemed much more ordinary, with plain features and a reserved demeanor.

However, Zhao Sheng didn’t dare underestimate this man, knowing well that this person was among the top ten in battle prowess within the Central Continent’s Golden Core cultivators.

Perhaps, it wouldn’t be long before he advanced to become a Nascent Soul Ancestor.

“Junior Zhao Qingyang, greets Family Head Dong and Master Lu!” Zhao Sheng said, respectfully bowing to the pair of Golden Core cultivators.

“No need for such formality, please rise,” Dong Yiren gestured with a single hand, sending forth an invisible burst of True Yuan, helping Zhao Sheng to his feet.

After the formalities, Zhao Sheng took out a carved box containing Longevity Peaches from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.

“My family’s Ancestor Jing knew that Elder Qing Ying’s birthday was approaching and specifically instructed me to deliver this birthday gift. Please allow the Family Head to present it on my behalf.”

The so-called birthday gift was merely a pretext, in essence, it was a visiting gift, representing in some sense the Zhao family’s sincerity.

Having hints from the Sword God Ancestor, Dong Yiren naturally would not refuse this sincerity.

Today’s meeting wasn’t actually important, serving merely as a formality.

Of course, Zhao Sheng wasn’t aware of this point.

Despite being highly confident before he came, when the critical moment arrived, he started to feel anxious.

However, what followed went smoother than he had imagined.

Family Head Dong didn’t even bother with the pleasantries, directly and gladly accepting the “birthday gift.”

What made Zhao Sheng even more flattered was that Family Head Dong’s attitude was extraordinarily amiable, not only inviting him to sit down but also warmly inquiring about his background and some interesting anecdotes about the Xinglong Zhao Family, without any bit of scrutiny or difficulty.
