Ascension Through Generations

That night, the Bagua Guangming Tower in the center of Xinglong City was like a giant pillar of light stretching from heaven to earth, emitting dazzling rainbow light. It not only illuminated the huge Xinglong City, but also added endless brilliance to the grand ceremony.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Linjian Pavilion on the ninth floor of Guangming Building was extremely warm and joyful. All the Zhao family elders couldn't help but look at the ancestor Zhao Xuanjing who was sitting at the top with adoring eyes.

Zhao Sheng, who was sitting on the second seat below his ancestor, also looked at Zhao Xuanjing very happily, feeling both emotional and pleased in his heart.

Time is like water, flowing for eight hundred years.

He probably didn't expect that the boy who was clumsy on the outside and wise on the inside would reach the heights he is today.

On the jade chair at the top, Zhao Xuanjing glanced at Zhao Sheng below, and he couldn't help but move his eyebrows.

For some reason, he always felt that there was something strange in the way Qingyang looked at him, as if there was something indescribably wrong.

Zhao Xuanjing put aside his distracting thoughts, turned his eyes to the younger members of the clan, and said in a calm tone: "Okay, I'm a little tired. The preaching ceremony is scheduled for the ninth day of September next month. Please leave!"

After everyone heard this, they quickly stood up and saluted, shouting in unison: "Ancestor, I'm going to take my leave first!"

Zhao Sheng also stood up. Just as he was about to bow his hands and salute, he saw Zhao Xuanjing wave his hand and said: "Qingyang, you stay here for now."

"Yes, ancestor!" Zhao Sheng stood up straight in response, and the other elders of the Zhao clan left Linwei Pavilion briskly.

Looking at Zhao Sheng, who was becoming more and more extraordinary and handsome, Zhao Xuanjing nodded with satisfaction and emotion, and was about to ask about the changes in the family in recent years.

But at this moment, Zhao Xuanjing's eyes narrowed and he saw the originally respectful and solemn Zhao Qingyang's expression changed drastically in an instant.

Half of his face suddenly became vivid, and his eyes were suddenly filled with excitement.

On the other hand, the other half of his face strangely maintained a respectful and solemn expression, his eyes were calm and indifferent, and there was no wave in the ancient well.

At first glance, it was a face that was half like a flame and half like a glacier, as if it was schizophrenic.

"Qingyang, you... um!" Zhao Xuanjing's face changed slightly, and then he shouted, then paused suddenly.

"Ancestor, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Sheng couldn't help but asked strangely when he saw this.

At this time, he knew nothing about his abnormality.

The next second, Zhao Sheng blinked his eyes, his face trembled, and his face regained its respectful and solemn look.

"Well, it's nothing!" Zhao Xuanjing relaxed and waved his hand.

Then he began to ask about some changes in the family in recent years.

"Ancestor, in the past ten years, the family's development has been generally smooth, and the sea of ​​broken stars in the family..."

On the jade chair, Zhao Xuanjing was stroking the case with one hand, leaning back on the chair, silently listening to Zhao Qingyang's narration.

During the whole process, his face had a calm expression, but horrifying pictures emerged in his mind. At the same time, his heart was constantly churning and throbbing.

…

"No. Let's run away. It's Nascent Soul, not a demon king above the seventh level."

…

"Empress Qianqian Huan!"

…

"I didn't expect that I could catch two little sweethearts on a whim. Yes, yes! This man is full of energy and blood, and his spirit is high. He can chew a few more times."

…

"Now that we have fallen into your hands, I will kill or chop you into pieces, please do as you please!"

…

"Aren't you afraid of becoming my doll? When you watch yourself kill your wife, children, parents, and all the relatives and friends you have a relationship with, and finally kill yourself and become a monster that is neither human nor ghost. .Aren’t you afraid of such an outcome?”

…

"Go! Little guy, go enjoy the pleasure of killing! But don't forget that your biggest enemy is the Beast Control Sect, the Hundred Gu Old Demon, and the entire Gu God lineage. Go, in the coming years, Remember to seek revenge at all costs! Hehe."

…

"Ancestor, I am Zhao Qingyang. When you see these memory fragments, please believe that it is all true. The Thousand Illusion Demon King has moved his hands and feet in my consciousness, distorting my thoughts and cognition. What is in front of you Zhao Qingyang is me and not me. Please help me decipher the mental illusion of the Thousand Illusion Demon King as soon as possible."

…

"Just now, in order to deliver the message, I consumed most of my remaining mental energy, and now I am about to fall into deep sleep. I hope to break the confinement as soon as possible! Zhao Qingyang's last word!"

Zhao Xuanjing repeatedly flipped through the memory scenes in his mind, carefully identifying the beautiful demon king in the scene, and finally confirmed that his descendant had indeed been plotted against him.

Zhao Xuanjing also had a headache for Empress Qianhuan, who was such a difficult and troublesome person.

Qianhuan Empress's illusion skills are unparalleled in the world, especially the mental illusions and magical powers she comprehended after transforming into a human form.

Zhao Xuanjing thought about it and found that there was only one person in Zhongzhou who could break the illusion of the mind and ensure that the soul of the person who was subjected to the spell was not damaged.

"...To date, we have accumulated more than five million spiritual stones, a total of 236 kinds of first-, second- and third-level spiritual elixirs, with a total of ten mounds of spiritual grains, more than 100,000 spiritual talismans, and more than 200 magic weapons... "

An hour later, Zhao Shengcai finally said: "There are six magic weapons to suppress luck, namely the Purple Light Furnace, the Chongling Treasure Boat, the Mountain Dragon Shield, the Bagua Light Disk, the Six Yun Bag and the Chenxing Seven Spirit Sword."

Zhao Xuanjing nodded after hearing this, and stopped writing more. Instead, he talked about Zhao Sheng's family affairs.

"Qingyang, Hua Xiong didn't come back with me. He got lucky this time. He was spotted by Patriarch Ji in the sect more than half a year ago and was directly included in the door. Now he is following Patriarch Ji. I’ve gone on a trip to Beihan Continent.”

Zhao Sheng smiled, "Really? This is really a gratifying and great thing. When I go back and tell my wife, she will be extremely happy."

Zhao Xuanjing silently took note of his performance and asked: "By the way, where is the child Huaying? Why didn't I see him?"

Zhao Sheng looked helpless when he heard this, "Hua Ying and his wife are ambitious. I haven't heard from them for almost a year. The last time I sent a letter, I said I was going to visit relatives in Nanyan Continent. Then there was no news as soon as I left."

Zhao Xuanjing paused and reminded: "I remember that this child's Taoist monk's surname is Zu!"

Zhao Sheng nodded: "Yes, the surname is Zu, and the full name is Zu Xiaoyue."

"Qingyang, I remember that the royal family of the Great Yan Dynasty also had the surname Zu. The founder of the dynasty is still alive today. He is a rare true king who transformed into gods. Everyone in the world respects him as Emperor Yan."

Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed, "Oh, what the ancestor means is that this woman has a lot to do with the Great Yan royal family."

"It is not impossible. However, there are many ancestral forces in Nanyan Continent, and they are all branches and branches of the royal family. Moreover, the Great Yan royal family has always strictly controlled the clan members, and there are very few direct clan members. She crossed the ocean and came to Central Continent. Therefore, there is little chance that this woman is a direct descendant of the royal family."

Zhao Xuanjing's words made Zhao Sheng give up the delusional thoughts that had arisen in his mind.

At this moment, Zhao Xuanjing suddenly thought of something and said to Zhao Sheng: "Qingyang, please go back and rest. Tomorrow morning, I will take you to the Tianzhu Secret Mansion."

Zhao Sheng was startled when he heard this. There were many affairs in Xinglong City, and countless forces were eagerly looking forward to paying homage to the ancestor of the Zhao family.

At this time, why would the ancestor take him to Tianzhu Mountain, which is hundreds of thousands of miles away, for no reason?

Although he was thinking this way, Zhao Sheng didn't ask why and just nodded in agreement.

After a while, Zhao Xuanjing's eyes were deep, and after watching Zhao Sheng fly away from Guangming Tower, a trace of sadness appeared on his face, and he sighed quietly.

well!

Before the screams could be heard, all the tables, chairs and bookshelves in the Linwei Pavilion collapsed instantly and turned into puddles of powder on the ground.

After a night of hustle and bustle, the popularity of Xinglong City decreased slightly.

When the sky was full of red clouds and the morning sun was rising, two rays of light suddenly shot up into the sky from the top of the Guangming Tower, one after another. After flashing for a few times, they quickly disappeared into the vast glow.

Seven days later, on a cloudy side of Tianzhu Mountain eighteen miles high, two rays of light rushed into the dense fog one after another.

In just a short cup of tea, Zhao Sheng and Zhao Xuanjing crossed hundreds of miles of fog and arrived at the Zhao family's secret mansion.

The canopy of the ancient spiritual peach tree is like a mountain, and it grows lush and green. Spiritual clouds are lingering under the tree, and fragrant red-topped peaches can be faintly seen deep in the branches and leaves.

Thirty years are approaching, and the longevity peach is almost ripe again!

It's a pity that Zhao Daochuan, the formation madman at that time, has been inactive for more than ten years, and the person guarding the mansion is now replaced by Zhao Dehe, who is of the virtuous generation.

When Zhao Dehe saw the two big brothers of the family arriving hand in hand, he couldn't help but feel shocked, thinking that something big had happened.

Something big did happen, but it wasn't what he imagined.

As soon as Zhao Xuanjing stepped into the land of the Secret Mansion, his expression suddenly changed, and a large yellow light suddenly erupted from his body, and the yellow light swept across in all directions.

The ensuing terrifying pressure immediately enveloped the entire secret palace.

"Hmph, which fellow Taoist is making such a joke with Zhao. The dignified Yuanying Ancestor can only hide in secret. Is it because he is shy to see others?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a rock near the Lingpeach tree suddenly blurred, and a thin old man with golden clothes and a gold belt, with a row of gray cloth bags hanging around his waist, suddenly appeared.

"Haha, fellow Daoist Jianglong, don't be surprised! The old beggar just borrowed the treasure to rest for a while. He definitely has no intention of coveting the spiritual peach."

When Zhao Xuanjing saw this person, his expression relaxed, he waved his sleeves to dispel the pressure, and said in a gentle tone: "It turns out to be senior Beggar Immortal. Junior Zhao Xuanjing has met senior, please forgive me for being impatient and rude for a moment!"

"No blame, no blame! It's the old beggar who made the mistake first." The Beggar Immortal licked his lips, stretched out his hand to push back his messy hair, and put on a solemn look.

Beggar Immortal is a rare Nascent Soul cultivator in the Tianzhu world, and his life is extremely legendary.

This person was born in Dongtian City. His spiritual roots did not appear when he was a baby. He made a living by begging since he was a child. When he was eleven years old, his three spiritual roots of fire, gold and wind appeared at the same time, so he was adopted by a casual cultivator.

While Beggar Immortal's adoptive father taught him the techniques of cultivating immortals, he also secretly taught him some wonderful empty-handed techniques.

Over the next few hundred years, Beggar Immortal experienced countless ups and downs while becoming more and more famous in Dongtian City.

When he passed away at the age of 200, he originally wanted to open a cave on Tianzhu Mountain as a tomb. Unexpectedly, by chance, he dug up a mausoleum of the ancestor of Yuanying, so that he could inherit his mantle.

From then on, the Beggar Immortal was like a fish jumping over a dragon's gate, miraculously surviving the Golden Elixir Thunder Tribulation before sitting down, and was successfully promoted to the Golden Elixir.

Later, when he passed away again at the age of 800, Beggar Immortal miraculously crossed the Nascent Soul Pass again and became a rare Nascent Soul Ancestor in the world.

Beggar Immortal is now more than 1,600 years old, and his cultivation has broken through the middle stage of Nascent Soul, but his strength is relatively weak among the same level.

But even so, Beggar Immortal is also one of the big bosses behind the scenes in Dongtian City.

Beggar Immortal is a joker, and although his personality is a little weird, he doesn't like killing. This person likes to play in the mortal world most and has always considered himself a beggar.

Therefore, when Zhao Xuanjing saw Beggar Immortal, he felt inexplicably relieved.

"Senior, the secret palace is extremely secretive, and there are multiple barrier formations arranged around it. I wonder how you discovered this place?"

The Beggar Immortal walked proudly not far away from the two of them and said with a smile: "The old beggar said it was a coincidence. Do you believe it?"

"Zhao believes it!" Zhao Xuanjing responded calmly.

The Beggar Immortal hesitated when he heard the words, and then shook his head seemingly dissatisfied, and his hair immediately fell down again.

"Humph, another boring boy!" Beggar Fairy curled his lips and said impatiently: "Forget it, let me tell you the truth. Old Beggar, I originally wanted to sneak into the Gui Chi Cave.

It's your fault for being unlucky. I happened to be entering and exiting the barrier as I was passing by. So I discovered it. "

After finishing speaking, he deliberately added: "Your place is too close to Gui Chi Cave. I am not an old beggar, but I am being alarmist!"

According to my estimation, your place may have been discovered by someone long ago.

Don't talk about other fellow Taoists.

Mr. Xie must have discovered it a long time ago, but the old man was too lazy to pay attention. "

Zhao Xuanjing remained silent after hearing this. He also knew that Beggar Immortal was right.

The Mr. Xie that this person calls is the True Lord of Divine Transformation who stands at the pinnacle of the Tianzhu Realm.

Mr. Xie was one of the two longest-lived human deity true kings at that time, and he was also the previous leader of the Taishang Induction Sect.

For the past two thousand years, he has been sitting on the top of Tianzhu Mountain, guarding the Ascension Formation.

In the past ten years, Mr. Xie Laozhen has been presiding over an extremely confidential plan in Gui Chi Cave.

The main purpose of Zhao Xuanjing's visit to Tianzhu Mountain was to meet with Mr. Xie Laozhen.

The reason why he knows so many secrets is thanks to Zhao Sheng's contribution back then.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xuanjing glanced at Zhao Sheng from the corner of his eye and saw that he was standing aside with his hands tied up with a calm expression.

Zhao Xuanjing's heart moved, and he waved to Zhao Sheng, and at the same time introduced to Beggar Immortal: "Senior, this is the younger generation of our clan, whose real name is Zhao Qingyang. His cultivation level is so-so, and he has just been promoted to Jindan for a few years."

"Junior Zhao Qingyang, pay homage to the Beggar Immortal Ancestor!"

The Immortal Beggar turned his eyes to Zhao Sheng who was saluting, and suddenly a strange light appeared in his eyes. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Tsk, tsk, amazing, amazing! This little friend is really gifted and has amazing bones! I think he is a rare refiner in a thousand years." Body genius!

Old beggar, I live alone and alone, and I have yet to gain a good disciple. Are you willing to worship me as your teacher? I am willing to teach you all the "Tai Qing Nine Yang Gong" I have learned in my life. "

"'Tai Qing Nine Yang Gong'? This name sounds familiar?" Zhao Sheng thought for a moment, then turned to look at Zhao Xuanjing.

Zhao Xuanjing's eyes widened and he immediately signaled: "Look what I'm going to do! Why don't you pay your respects to Master quickly?"

To be able to have a Yuanying Ancestor personally accept a disciple is a great joy that other immortal cultivators cannot ask for.

Having a Nascent Soul Ancestor as a helping hand will bring countless benefits not only to Zhao Qingyang personally, but also to the Xinglong Zhao family.

How could Zhao Xuanjing refuse such a good thing!

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng had no choice but to turn over and bow down, "Master, come up again, my disciple Zhao Qingyang will kowtow to you."

Bang bang bang!

When he finishes eating all nine of them, the apprenticeship ceremony will be completed!
