Fengyi True Monarch's response did not satisfy Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Sheng pondered for a moment and then asked, "Where did you acquire the Nine Nether Tower? And how did you come to know of its peculiar properties?"

At this moment, Fengyi True Monarch only wished to avoid torment and did not dare to lie in front of a Half-Immortal of the Void. He hurriedly bowed and said, "I stumbled upon this treasure unintentionally in the sect's treasure vault. It's only because the cultivation technique I practice is exceptionally unique that I sensed another opportunity inside the Nine Nether Tower. For years, I have been patiently awaiting the arrival of this opportunity. Unfortunately, just as it was within reach, you found your way to me. It seems that destiny has decided, and I am not fated to this opportunity."

Zhao Sheng's gaze flickered, and he posed one final question: "Have you ever shared the secret of the Nine Nether Tower with anyone else?"

"This..." Fengyi True Monarch broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this and hesitated, not daring to respond.

Upon seeing this, a fierce glint flickered in Zhao Sheng's eyes.

"...I have never told anyone!" Fengyi True Monarch, sensing the indescribable chill in the gaze directed at him, immediately realized the peril and did not dare to hesitate any further, quickly answered.

Zhao Sheng restrained his killing intent and, with an indifferent tone, praised, "Very good! Since you did not lie, I will let you live a few more years. However, you will need to cooperate with me in a small experiment."

Upon hearing that he could live a few more years, Fengyi True Monarch was overjoyed, immediately prostrated himself, and repeatedly gave thanks for the mercy of not being killed, completely forgetting about the "experiment" he needed to cooperate in.

Zhao Sheng nodded slightly, suddenly flicked his finger, and a streak of flowing light shot out from his fingertip, swiftly entering Fengyi True Monarch's forehead, causing him to instantly fall unconscious.

"Now that this is done, it's time to bring them back."

After this, Zhao Sheng looked up towards the heavens, murmuring to himself.

Before his words trailed off, he vanished into thin air.

The Void Sea vast and boundless, the Spring Birth Realm stood like a brilliant blue-green gem, majestically situated in a corner of the abyssal Void Sea, quietly radiating its unique and bright radiance.

Zhao Menghan transformed into a blue meteor, powerfully speeding towards the Spring Birth Realm.

However, despite the speed of the tunneling light, in such vast astronomical dimensions, it still seemed like a "snail," slowly approaching the forefront of the Spring Birth Realm.

Suddenly,

a tall silhouette appeared out of nowhere a hundred miles ahead.

Zhao Menghan had no time to suppress his tunneling light; he had barely seen the figure clearly when the tunneling light had already flown in close.

"...Ancestor!" he exclaimed, unable to restrain himself from shouting in shock.

"I've come to take you home!"

Just as Zhao Menghan heard this sentence, he felt a warm and powerful hand suddenly gripping his shoulder.

In the next instant, his vision blurred, and he was instantly transported away from this piece of the Outer Void Sea.

When he finally saw his surroundings clearly, he found himself back in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

At this moment, Zhao Menghan's expression froze, and he suddenly saw the unconscious Fengyi True Monarch, causing waves to surge in his heart.

"Take him along; we're returning to the Hundred Bamboo Tower." Zhao Sheng casually issued this command.

Zhao Menghan quickly regained his composure, dared not ask more, and immediately stepped forward, picking up Fengyi True Monarch.

A breath later, two streams of tunneling light shot into the sky, disappearing behind the mountains in the blink of an eye.

...

Three years passed in the blink of an eye!

In the past two years, the once remote Cloud Mist Mountain Range, located in an obscure region of the Mountain Continent, had gradually become increasingly bustling.

The mountain folk living on the outer fringes of the range could almost daily see streams of flowing light flying across the sky, all invariably heading toward the deepest parts of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

Many times, the mountain folk also saw legendary rare birds and exotic beasts flying overhead, each bearing a distinguished-looking "Immortal Master."

In the past year, the mountain folk's horizons broadened further, as they frequently saw wave after wave of "glorious groups" advancing towards the depths of the mountains.

Most of the people in these groups were dressed in opulent attire, exuding extraordinary auras, with many "Immortal Masters" prominently appearing before the public.

Three years have swiftly gone by, a period neither too long nor too short, though not sufficient for the Cloud Mist Zhao Family to make a leap in their strength, it has been enough for their illustrious name to spread throughout the entire Cultivation World of the Mountain Continent.

The initial cause of this matter, however, traces back to the Ghost God Sect's annihilation in a single night.

A paper cannot contain a fire, and the affair of the Ghost God Sect's annihilation would inevitably be discovered!

In fact, just half a day after Zhao Sheng had left, a cultivator from the Ghost God Sect hurried back to the sect's location. He was the first to discover his sect's destruction, naturally becoming extremely alarmed and terrified.

However, he quickly regained his composure, immediately flying into the sect's ruins, desperately searching for any lost treasures.

A few days later, more and more cultivators from the Ghost God Sect returned, finding the sect annihilated upon their arrival.
