Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

After three days and three nights, only a dozen people remained in the lower cabins, barely maintaining consciousness.

Zhao Sheng counted one by one and found that the survivors were all strong individuals who had autonomously awakened their Original Spirit, while the weaker ones who forcefully awakened were all dead without exception.

Even these strong individuals were in a miserable state, already at their wits' end.

However, the six Great Venerables were obviously exceptionally cruel and heartless, never stepping forward to take over the Ten Thousand Treasure Ship.

On the contrary, Jin Heng and the other survivors were horrified to realize they had been plotted against by the Venerables, becoming nothing more than "fuel" to propel the Treasure Ship upward.

It was evident that the fate of everyone in the lower cabins had been sealed from the beginning.

Unless a Great Venerable showed mercy, everyone was destined to die.

So... would a Great Venerable intervene?

The answer was self-evident!

Even Fengfengzi chose to stand by, ignoring the desperate pleas and struggles of his two junior brothers, refusing to waste any effort.

Seeing everyone meet such a grim end, Zhao Sheng felt a chill down his back, extremely apprehensive.

Fortunately, Great Venerable Hao Yang recognized his value; otherwise, his fate would have been unpredictable, and he might have had to reincarnate again.

...

As time slowly passed, one by one, the great figures who had once dominated the outside world fell into madness, eventually turning to dust, leaving no remains.

It was then that a series of murmured whispers intermittently echoed in Zhao Sheng's mind.

Zhao Sheng shivered with a start, understanding fully what it implied: even the Tribulation Crossing Venerables couldn't entirely block the invisible infiltration of the Delirious Layer.

"Shi Gong, Jade Skull, Mo Xian... it's time for us to act," Great Venerable Hao Yang suddenly proposed, glancing at the others.

"I second that, after all, delaying further might result in unnecessary accidents," Fengfengzi was the first to agree.

As he spoke, his gaze lingered, intentionally or unintentionally, on Zhao Sheng.

When Zhao Sheng returned the gaze, Fengfengzi gave a slight smile and nodded.

Amidst the dark red cloud, after a pair of large eyes blinked, Shi Gong said, "In that case! I will activate the Six Extremes Star Formation, and I invite you all to act simultaneously."

"Rest assured!"

"Understood!"

"Alright!"

"Kekeke!"

Soon after, the six Magic Platforms glowed intensely, and the Ten Thousand Treasure Ship suddenly erupted in dazzling radiance, its speed exponentially increasing in an instant, soaring away.

...

The difficulty of breaking through the Delirious Layer was beyond Zhao Sheng's expectations.

Despite having the protection of Great Venerable Hao Yang, he was almost led astray several times by the murmurings, nearly succumbing.

Fortunately, despite the formidable challenges, he ultimately crossed this Ghost Gate.

After passing the Delirious Layer, the dark environment, the bizarre clouds, and the frequently attacking formidable Sky Demon Species all vanished.

White!

Pallid white!

Everywhere he looked, all was a stark white!

In this vast, boundless, white space-time, it was easy to lose one's direction, often experiencing an illusion of up and down, and left and right being reversed.

The Ten Thousand Treasure Ship flew soundlessly, flying... as if it would continue on like this forever.

Gradually, Zhao Sheng's concept of time became blurred, unable to recall how long the ship had been flying here.

He occasionally glanced at the six Great Venerables, only able to discern some foreboding from Fengfengzi's increasingly grave expression.

Finally, one day, unable to endure any longer, he secretly used his Spiritual Sense to connect with Great Venerable Hao Yang:

"Senior Hao Yang, if this continues, how much longer do we have to fly?"

Great Venerable Hao Yang quickly responded with a teasing chuckle, "How long? We just entered the Demon Thought Layer, only three hours have passed. Are you already unable to bear it?"

"Three hours?!" Zhao Sheng was shocked to his core.

In his impression, the Ten Thousand Treasure Ship had been flying for at least several months.

Completely unexpected...

"Little guy, you're in luck and yet still so unaware. Do you know? In All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, barely anyone gets a chance to personally experience the perspective of a True Immortal."

Zhao Sheng had an epiphany, suddenly recalling the Earth-level Talent [Immortal Spirit Vision Fragment] he had possessed in previous lifetimes.

"You kid have good insight! That's exactly right. In a sense, an Immortal is from another layer of greatness and sanctity, which no Tribulation Crossing Realm can compare to.

In the eyes of a True Immortal, time holds an infinite possibility for extension. A split second in the eyes of a mortal could be a day, a month, or even longer to a True Immortal.

Of course, sometimes a year in the eyes of a mortal might just be a brief moment to a True Immortal."

"Where we are now, the Demon Thought Layer, may seem empty, but it's entirely within the domain of True Immortal Demon Thought, resulting in significant distortion of time, with varying flow rates."

"Hiss... it's unimaginable!" Zhao Sheng looked utterly astonished, wearing an expression of disbelief.

Of course, he was partly acting.

After all, he had met not one but two Daluo Golden Immortals before; a mere True Immortal wasn't enough to make him lose composure.

"Hehe, now you understand the might of a True Immortal! But honestly, you're still just a frog at the bottom of a well. How can language ever describe the power of a True Immortal?

If I told you that all the Six Desires Sky Demons you saw were actually manifestations of a True Immortal's scattered thoughts. Even that the Endless Corridor might be part of a True Immortal Device. Do you believe these things are true?"

"I don't think Senior would speak carelessly, so it must be true."
