Ascension Through Generations

When Zhao Sheng verbally agreed to join the Spring and Autumn Alliance, Meng Qiyi was so happy that he no longer regarded Zhao Sheng as an outsider.

As a foundation-building elder, Meng Qiyi was determined to do a good job with Zhao Sheng, so he simply began to introduce the current situation of the Spring and Autumn Alliance in detail.

"The Spring and Autumn Alliance has a history of more than 6,000 years since its founding by the Spring and Autumn Ancestors. Currently, in addition to the leader Kong in the late Golden Core stage and two Supreme Elders of the Golden Core realm, there are also some Foundation Establishment realm elders in the alliance. , the island owner and the guests, there are about forty people.

In addition, the Spring and Autumn Alliance has nearly a hundred affiliated islands. The small forces on the islands are considered peripheral forces of the alliance, and most of the island owners serve as guests of the alliance. "

"Fellow Daoist Meng, I didn't expect that your alliance actually has three Jindan seniors. It seems that your alliance is extremely powerful!" Zhao Sheng smiled politely. The strength of the Spring and Autumn Alliance is not bad at all, and it can be considered a good place to stay temporarily.

"Where, where! Fellow Daoist Zhao, you have given me the award. Among the many forces in this Broken Star Sea, although our Spring and Autumn Alliance is one of the thirty-six constellations, we can barely get the reputation of having a large number of people. In terms of strength, it is among the lowest-class and cannot be compared with others. Large sectarian forces.

However, unlike those cultivating sects, this alliance has many rules and regulations to restrain its disciples. Not only can you act more freely, but there are also many benefits.

Once you become a Foundation Establishment Guest Minister, you will not only be able to browse the secrets of Cangshuge for free, but you will also have certain discounts on purchasing various cultivation resources in the stores opened by this alliance.

In addition, many fellow foundation builders in the alliance hold various experience exchange meetings on a regular basis. Moreover, the leader of the alliance, the Supreme Elder, will occasionally come forward to give me some pointers, which is why this alliance has developed so prosperously. "

Having said this, Meng Qiyi paused and said with a sincere expression:

"To be honest with you fellow Taoist, the Spring and Autumn League is divided into nine halls. Meng very much hopes that fellow Taoist Zhao can serve as the guest elder of the Foreign Affairs Hall. The Foreign Affairs Hall pays well and is thirsty for talents. Behind him, there is the support of Supreme Elder Qifeng. No. How about your friendship?"

"I appreciate Fellow Daoist Meng's kindness. Please allow me to think about it for a few days. When I get to Jiuzhen Island, I will definitely give Fellow Daoist an answer." Zhao Sheng replied with a haha.

Meng Qiyi was not angry when he saw this situation. Instead, he changed the topic and started chatting with Zhao Sheng about the many forces in the Broken Star Sea and some major events that had happened recently.

From this chat, Zhao Sheng gained a deeper and clearer understanding of the situation in the Broken Star Sea.

Generally speaking, the core and most prosperous realm of the Broken Star Sea is the Inner Star Sea. The Inner Star Sea is ruled by the so-called "one god, four saints, thirty-six stars" and other immortal cultivating forces.

"One God" refers to the Star Palace, the Uncrowned King of the Broken Star Sea. There are many masters in the Star God Palace, and their power is unfathomable. All the Supreme Elders in the palace are ancestors of the Yuanying. It is even said that the palace owner has crossed the Yuanshen Heavenly Pass and become a rare god-incarnation king in the Tianzhu world for thousands of years. .

The "Four Holy Islands" refer to the Four Holy Islands named after the four holy beasts: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Suzaku. Each island has a Nascent Soul-level Immortal Taoist family. Each of them has been in the family for more than 10,000 years, and the family population is in the thousands. Wan Ji has a profound foundation.

It is rumored that each of the four major families holds an ancient spiritual treasure. The power of ancient spiritual treasures is unparalleled. A Yuanying ancestor holds the spiritual treasure and can compete with the True Monarch of Transformation.

Therefore, the status of the four major families is as stable as Tianzhu Mountain, second only to Star God Palace in Broken Star Sea.

Under the Four Saints are the so-called Thirty-Six Constellations Spirit Island, and there is at least one Golden Core Real Person on each spiritual island.

In addition, if there is a Yuanying ancestor sitting on the island, it will be called Tiangang Spirit Island, which means "the Yuanying ancestor can break through the nine layers of Tiangang atmosphere, briefly fly into the void outside the world, and collect the mysterious spirits outside the sky."

The Xingxiu Spirit Island without the Nascent Soul Ancestor sitting there can also be called the Earthly Evil Spirit Island, which comes from the meaning of "Jindan Zhenren refines the golden elixir in order to improve his cultivation and refines the golden elixir with the evil spirits within the realm."

Most of the thirty-six star spiritual islands are composed of immortal sects, such as Tianyang Sword Sect, Zhenwu Mountain, Qianyu Pavilion, Xuanxiao Sect, etc., which have been most popular in the past hundred years.

The Spring and Autumn Alliance nominally occupies Jiuzhen Island, one of the thirty-six constellations, but it is actually backed by the "Suzaku" Gu Yan family.

As for the Jindan-level forces such as the Spring and Autumn Alliance, they must pay a certain amount of offerings to the Gu Yan family every year and deal with the dirty affairs of some unscrupulous people.

The Gu Yan family is responsible for ensuring that the Spring and Autumn Alliance will not be annexed by other large families.

It is said that Meng Qiyi is very eloquent and interesting in conversation.

Moreover, he did not shy away from the many inside stories about the Spring and Autumn Alliance, but was very frank. It's not boring for the two of them to drink tea and chat like this.

…

Five days later, the ship sailed through thousands of miles of sea and passed some islands one after another. Finally at noon, it arrived near a large and bustling island with countless ships coming and going.

Zhao Sheng and Meng Quyi stood on the bow of the boat, looking at Jiuzhen Island.

"Haha, I'm finally home! Brother Zhao, please!"

Meng Qiyi laughed, flipped it with one hand, and suddenly a book with a shimmering light flew out of his sleeve. As soon as the scroll unfolded in the air, he grabbed it in his hand and punched a magic spell into it with his other hand.

The scroll suddenly glowed with white light, and then a crisp bird song came out, and a ray of glow rolled out, turning into a huge sea eagle more than two feet tall, with green wings.

After the two of them boarded the back of the spirit eagle, Meng Qiyi shouted lowly, and the spirit eagle immediately spread its wings, set off a gust of wind, soared into the sky, and quickly flew towards Jiuzhen Island.

"This place is the main forum of our Spring and Autumn Alliance, Jiuzhen Island." Meng Qiyi pointed to the island below and introduced it with a complacent expression.

Zhao Sheng looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that the Jiuzhen Island was not one, but nine spiritual islands that were very close to each other.

The nine spiritual islands are hundreds of miles in diameter in large ones and dozens of miles in small ones. They are either lush mountains, forests, sea cliffs, or densely populated with densely populated buildings and pavilions, and also have beautiful scenery.

Seen from the sky, Jiuzhen Island looks like a large round cake divided into nine parts of different sizes.

The spirit islands are connected by large cross-sea stone bridges. There are as many as eighteen piers on the stone bridge flashing with formation halos. From the sky, they look like giant dragons lying across the straits. .

Meng Qiyi urged the spiritual bird to fly while proudly introducing:

"This Jiuzhen Island has a population of several million, and more than ten thousand cultivators. Based on the direction and concentration of the spiritual veins on the island, Jiuzhen Island is divided into two parts: the three upper Ling islands and the lower five islands.

The core Spring and Autumn Island, which is also the largest island, is where the Spring and Autumn Alliance's general altar is located. The concentration of spiritual energy on the island is not low, and most of the Qi Refining Realm disciples and some of the Foundation Establishment colleagues of the Spring and Autumn Alliance live here. As for the lower five islands, it is more chaotic. It is mainly composed of some small towns and most of the casual cultivators gather here. "

Zhao Sheng listened to Meng Quyi's description and discovered that there were three buildings on the island below. Most of them were white and light cyan, and most of them were made of huge rocks. However, the tops were made of silver-white unknown metal, which looked quite strange.

It was noon at this moment, and under the blazing sunlight, the buildings on the three islands reflected large swaths of dazzling white light, which blinded people's eyes and made it difficult to see clearly the scene below.

After a while, the spirit eagle suddenly sank, folded its wings, and swooped towards the largest Spring and Autumn Island, and finally landed in the square in front of a large palace building built against the mountain.

"Brother Zhao, please!"

After Zhao Sheng got off the spirit eagle, Meng Qiyi also flew down, waved his sleeves and threw out the scroll, and the rays of light swept out and took the spirit eagle back.

Then, he took Zhao Sheng to the Spring and Autumn Hall with a cheerful expression on his face.

Looking at it, the Spring and Autumn Palace is very grand. The main body is made of huge green gang stones with a length, width and height of two feet. The palace walls alone are dozens of feet high.

There are also many smaller huge stone buildings built around the main hall. People are coming and going, mostly in green robes and white clothes, which is quite lively.

From time to time, one can see flying swords, cloud boats and other flying magic weapons one after another, or immortal cultivators riding spiritual birds flying from a distance and landing in this building complex in the blink of an eye.

Under the guidance of Meng Qiyi, Zhao Sheng bypassed the Spring and Autumn Hall, went deep into the buildings and courtyards, made many twists and turns around the entrances of the heavily defended halls, and finally came to a large, antique courtyard.

In front of the entrance of the courtyard, there stood a huge piece of white jade three feet high, with four ancient spiritual inscriptions "Spring and Autumn Live" engraved on it.

If you don't know this Taiyi Lingwen, ordinary immortal cultivators are afraid that they will be embarrassed under the jade if they meet him.

"This is where our alliance welcomes distinguished guests. Fellow Daoist Zhao will take a short break and taste our alliance's spiritual tea first. The Supreme Elder will be here soon!"

Meng Qiyi took Zhao Sheng to an elegantly decorated living room with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, and then clapped his hands gently.

At this moment, three delicate-looking maids filed in. One of them presented a pot of spiritual tea, the other two placed the tea cups, and then the three of them quietly left.

Zhao Sheng and Zhao Sheng drank tea in the hall and chatted for a while about the elegant affairs of the Spring and Autumn League.

After half a cup of tea, I heard a burst of laughter suddenly coming from outside the living room.

"Haha, Qi Yi, I heard that you invited a little foundation-building friend today. The leader of the alliance is not on the island, so I will come to meet him first."

Before he finished speaking, an old man in green robe with withered face, long beard and white hair stepped in from the door.

"The Supreme Elder." Meng Qiyi stood up quickly.

Zhao Sheng's expression changed and he stood up, his expression showing just the right amount of respect.

Listening to Meng Qiyi's name for this person, this green-robed old Taoist should be the supreme elder of the Spring and Autumn League, Zhenren Qifeng.

Then the green-robed Taoist walked in, and the living room was suddenly enveloped by a sharp and sharp invisible aura. The room seemed to become a "vacuum", and every trace of air fell into the control of the old Taoist priest with a kind smile in front of him. .

"The Supreme Elder, this is Fellow Daoist Zhao." Meng Qiyi introduced with a smile on his face.

"I, Zhao Chonghe, would like to pay my respects to the real person, the real person Qianshou!" Zhao Sheng saluted to the real person Qifeng, cupping his hands and clasping his fists. He did not say his real name, but gave the name of his previous life.

The old man in Qingpao looked Zhao Sheng up and down, his eyes lingering on his face, and said with some meaning: "Little friend Zhao, why don't you show your true face? Could it be that you don't trust me in the Spring and Autumn Alliance?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Sheng frowned.

When he said this as soon as they met, Master Qifeng obviously gave him a slight blow.

Let’s see how he responds.

Zhao Sheng frowned and said loudly: "Senior, I don't know something. This junior has practiced a special technique. Before Dacheng, his appearance was completely destroyed, so it is inconvenient to reveal it."

Unexpectedly, Master Qifeng did not continue to ask further questions, but let them go without mentioning it, and then asked the two of them to sit down.

Zhao Sheng was surprised, but he admired Qifeng Zhenren's skillful way of handling people.

The three of them sat down in order of priority. Master Qifeng sat on the main seat without hesitation. After giving an order, a maid immediately came in to remove the old tea and serve new spiritual tea.

After some casual conversation, Zhao Sheng vaguely showed that he was willing to accept the solicitation, but he still had concerns.

Old Taoist Qifeng looked solemn and said seriously: "In this case, I will not deny that the Spring and Autumn Alliance is currently looking for talents. If Zhao Xiaoyou has any concerns, you can tell them in advance. There are some places that can be improved by slowing down. You can make the decision for the alliance leader and agree."

Zhao Sheng looked a little shaken after hearing this. After thinking for a while, he hesitated and asked:

"I would like to ask, if there is a fight between the Spring and Autumn Alliance and hostile forces, does Elder Keqing have to participate in it?"

Old Taoist Qifeng was startled when he heard this, then he laughed and said with a sincere expression: "

"Unless the Spring and Autumn Alliance encounters a catastrophic disaster, usually if the alliance needs the help of Keqing, it will set up a mission and reward. The elders of the Keqing can decide on their own whether to agree or not, and the alliance will never force it."

"What if I want to withdraw from the Spring and Autumn Alliance after becoming a guest minister?" Zhao Sheng asked again.

"If you are dissatisfied with this alliance, Zhao Xiaoyou can withdraw on his own initiative, and this alliance will never deliberately block it." Qifeng Laodao said in a very grand manner.

When Zhao Sheng heard this, he showed a trace of satisfaction on his face, nodded and said: "In this case, Zhao can agree to join your alliance and become a guest minister."

Old Taoist Qifeng smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this, while Meng Qiyi looked overjoyed.

After all, any foundation-building monk in the Broken Star Sea is very rare.

Not only can a foundation-building monk easily become the master of an island, but he can also support a small immortal cultivating force.

The most important thing is that Zhao Sheng is obviously young, has much greater potential than ordinary foundation-building monks, and has more time to cultivate his feelings for the Spring and Autumn Alliance.

For the Foreign Affairs Hall alone, with the addition of a foundation-building guest minister, the strength of the entire hall will immediately be greatly enhanced.

Next, Old Taoist Qifeng left on the pretext of having something to do, leaving Meng Qiyi to introduce to Zhao Sheng the specific treatment of Xia Keqing.

There are also high and low levels of guest ministers in the Spring and Autumn League. One can become an ordinary guest minister elder at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Once promoted to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment or above, one can naturally become a senior guest minister elder.

In addition, the Spring and Autumn Alliance promised to allocate an independent cave to each guest elder. The caves are built on the core spiritual veins and are mostly concentrated among the hills and valleys in the northwest of Spring and Autumn Island.

In addition, Elder Keqing has a certain number of spiritual stones and spiritual elixirs as salary every year.

Although Zhao Sheng didn't care about this, it represented the attitude of the Spring and Autumn Alliance.

After introducing the treatment, Meng Qiyi formally invited Zhao Sheng to join the Foreign Affairs Hall.

After Zhao Sheng thought for a while, he nodded and agreed.
