Ascension Through Generations

Meng Qiyi was overjoyed and diligently took Zhao Sheng to go through the formalities for joining the alliance and choose a training cave.

Two hours later, the formalities were completed and Zhao Sheng quickly selected the cave.

In view of the principle of low-key work and safety, Zhao Sheng deliberately chose a remote cave on the edge of Spring and Autumn Island.

Although the concentration of spiritual energy here is low, Zhao Sheng is very satisfied with this because the cave is opened on a cliff with the sea below.

After saying goodbye to Meng Quyi, Zhao Sheng quickly rushed to the cliff cave, opened the stone door with the prohibition token, and walked in.

This cave is not small in size, with spacious space, with more than a dozen stone chambers, complete with decorative furniture, etc., and the concentration of spiritual energy inside is quite deep, which is roughly equivalent to the first-order spiritual veins and spiritual orifices, making it very suitable for cultivation.

After Zhao Sheng took a brief look at the cave, he walked into the training room. The training room is not big, only five or six feet in size, and the furnishings are quite simple. Apart from a white jade bed and an apricot futon, there is nothing else.

Zhao Sheng was satisfied with the layout inside. He briefly inspected the four stone walls and stone doors, and after confirming that there were no surveillance restrictions, he felt relieved and went forward to sit cross-legged on the futon.

Zhao Sheng flicked his sleeves, and a barrier talisman shot out quickly. The board was attached to the door of the stone chamber. The white light spread in all directions, forming a pale white light curtain, covering the entire practice room. The room is completely isolated from the outside world.

After doing this, Zhao Sheng pondered for a moment, turned over with one hand, and took out a black shield from the storage bag. It was the low-grade defensive spiritual weapon Haiyuan Shield obtained in Beifu Cave.

Zhao Sheng threw it gently, and the Haiyuan Shield suddenly flew into the air in a spin. Then his eyes were filled with divine light, and he pinched the seal with both hands. A divine consciousness seal suddenly shot out from his hand and sank into the shield.

…

three days later

In the training room, Zhao Sheng's face was solemn, and the spiritual consciousness and spiritual restraints continued to sink into the abyss shield.

As the refining spirit seals continued to enter, the Abyssal Shield was glowing with black light, and waves of ocean waves could be faintly heard in the training room.

At this moment, the Abyssal Shield was suspended in mid-air, with countless spiritual forbidden runes appearing on its surface from time to time. The runes were interconnected and intertwined, and they were clearly condensed into defensive spiritual prisons. At a glance, there were more than twenty of them.

At this moment, Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed with divine light, and the magic technique in his hands suddenly stopped. At the same time, he opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood essence. The essence blood instantly turned into a layer of blood mist, and was driven by his spiritual consciousness, and fell into the abyss shield. , disappeared in a flash.

The next second, the Abyss Shield glowed brightly, making a clear sound of ocean waves. The light and shadow of the shields gradually appeared in the training room, whirling around the spiritual shield.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed with joy.

"Cohesion!"

He shouted lowly, and his foundation-building realm consciousness burst out in a flash,

He saw the phantom of the shield in the air shining brightly, and then he threw himself into the abyss shield like a tired bird returning to the forest.

In an instant, a large black light erupted on the Haiyuan Shield, and more than twenty spiritual restraints suddenly emerged, and then disappeared into the Haiyuan Shield in an instant.

The next second, Zhao Sheng thought, and the Haiyuan Shield suddenly shrank to the size of a palm, turned into a black light, flew in front of him, and quickly circled around his body as his thoughts changed.

Zhao Sheng smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and the Haiyuan Shield flew down with a "whoosh" and landed in the palm of his hand.

"Okay. Finally, we have finished refining the three spiritual weapons. The previous owner of Bei Mansion was a good man! Every treasure left behind is of high quality." Zhao Sheng put away the Haiyuan Shield and couldn't help but sigh. .

After refining the spiritual weapon, Zhao Sheng immediately stood up and walked out of the secret room slowly.

As soon as I went out, I found a messenger crane flying around in the cave with its head covered and turned around.

Zhao Sheng reached out and made a move, and Fuhe flapped his wings and quickly flew over and fell into his hand.

After opening the talisman crane, Zhao Sheng frowned at first and then relaxed, muttering to himself: "The alliance leader is back and wants to call the elders of the guests for a meeting? Is it just for me, or is there something really going on? Interesting!"

Zhao Sheng freshened up, changed into a set of plain brocade robes, and then took a short rest.

Half a day later, Zhao Sheng walked out of the cave, and a white light suddenly shot out from his sleeves. The white light circled around his body, and his whole body instantly turned into a platinum sword rainbow, and he galloped towards the Spring and Autumn Hall.

A moment later, the sword rainbow fell on the square in front of the palace. Zhao Sheng dispersed the sword light, retracted the flying sword, and walked into the magnificent Spring and Autumn Hall.

The entire hall is extremely tall and spacious, with an area of ​​more than 200 feet and a height of nearly 20 feet. Inside, there are a total of eighteen thick coiled dragon gold pillars supporting the hall. The top of the hall is inlaid with more than a hundred fist-sized radiant spirits. Pearls illuminate the hall as bright as day.

There are two rows of white jade tables and chairs in the middle of the hall. At this moment, there are seventeen or eighteen immortal cultivators with extraordinary bearings and different looks, sitting in twos and threes on the jade chairs.

Some of them lowered their heads and talked softly, while others closed their eyes and meditated. Meng Qiyi was among them, chatting happily with the people next to him.

At this time, on the three green jade chairs in the center of the hall, two old men with unfathomable aura were sitting. One of them, Zhao Sheng, had already seen Qifeng Zhenren, and the other had an ancient face and a tall and mighty figure. , his eyes were fiery red, and his pupils seemed to be burning with two balls of flame.

As soon as Zhao Shengfang stepped into the main hall, some of the guests and elders in the main hall looked over.

When Meng Qiyi saw Zhao Sheng coming, he immediately stood up with a smile on his face, walked forward quickly, and said with a big smile: "Haha, brother Zhao, you're here. Come on, let me introduce you to all our comrades. "

"This is the supreme elder of our alliance, Master Chi Yuan."

"Junior Zhao Chonghe has met the real Chi Yuan!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng immediately bowed his hands to the ancient-faced Master Chi Yuan.

"No need! Qi Laodao, you are lucky. You have found such a young Foundation Builder. However, since they have all joined the alliance, why are you still so secretive?" Chi Yuan's voice was as loud as a bell. He sarcastically said coldly.

Seeing this, Old Taoist Qifeng laughed and mocked: "Haha, Yuan Datou, just go ahead and envy me! Zhao Xiaoyou has agreed to join the Foreign Affairs Hall. In addition, your control is too lenient. That is other people's privacy, is it possible? Do I want to report to you?"

"Hmph!" Master Chi Yuan glared at his old enemy.

Seeing this, Meng Qiyi quickly pulled Zhao Sheng down and introduced other people to him.

"This is Lu Xia, fellow Taoist Lu, who is currently the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall." Meng Qiyi first pointed at a middle-aged Confucian scholar with a graceful manner and said.

"My dear, Zhao Chonghe, I have met Hall Master Lu."

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Zhao. I heard a few days ago that a young handsome man came to our hall. When I saw him today, it turned out to be true! We need to get closer in the future. After this incident, Lu will definitely go to visit Fellow Daoist Zhao in his cave. ." When the middle-aged Confucian scholar saw Zhao Sheng, his eyes lit up, he immediately stood up and held his hands towards Zhao Sheng from a distance, saying loudly.

"Hall Master Lu is too polite, Zhao should be here to visit." Zhao Sheng quickly replied politely.

After chatting with him for a few words, Meng Qiyi took Zhao Sheng and introduced others.

"This is Fellow Daoist Lu..."

“Ludo is friendly!…”

….

"This is Senior Zhuge Zhen..."

"Senior Zhuge is so polite."

…

By the time most of the introductions were completed, half an hour had passed, and the sapphire chairs in the main hall were already full of people.

Zhao Sheng was the last to join the alliance, so he found the jade chair at the end and sat down.

At this time, someone next to him raised his hand and said: "Fellow Daoist Zhao, you look very young. You should have established your foundation very early, right?"

Zhao Sheng turned his head to look, but saw that the man speaking had a fair face and delicate appearance. He was only in his twenties. He was dressed in a brocade robe and looked suave, like a noble man in troubled times.

"It turns out to be fellow Taoist Chen Guanxi. I just look young, but he is actually quite old." Zhao Sheng said half-truthfully to avoid trouble.

After the man smiled slightly, he was about to say a few more words.

I heard a sound of flapping wings coming from the door of the hall.

Chen Guanxi looked solemn and turned to look at the door, while other people in the hall also behaved in the same way.

The next second, two people walked in from the door of the hall. One of them was a kind-faced old man with a tall crown, about six feet tall, wearing a jade-colored brocade robe. The red young man.

"Alliance leader!"

"Hello, Alliance Leader!"

As soon as the old man appeared, everyone in the hall stood up to say hello, with most of their eyes showing respect.

The old man is clearly the leader of the Spring and Autumn Alliance, a big boss in the late Jindan period, and Master Changkong.

"Leader, this must be the special envoy! As expected, the jade trees stand in the wind, with extraordinary grace!"

Qifeng and Chiyuan, who were sitting at the top, had already stood up in unison and greeted him.

"Gu Yanqiu, I have met these two seniors!" The young master smiled slightly and bowed to the two Jindan masters seemingly casually.

Zhao Sheng silently looked at this "special envoy". Judging from his name, he was obviously a member of the Gu Yan family on Zhuque Island.

Judging from the aura emanating from his body, this person is also a foundation-building monk, and may be a few years younger than him.

As soon as Gu Yanqiu Fang sat down, an elder from the guest family came forward to introduce himself. Most of his words were respectful to the special envoy.

Gu Yanqiu seemed polite and very kind to others, but Zhao Sheng could see a hint of contempt in the depth of his eyes from time to time.

After a while, the introductions were completed. Because Zhao Sheng was very young and was the last one, Gu Yanqiu had a deeper impression of him.

After this incident, Master Changkong's face straightened, and he instantly took control of the atmosphere of the hall without saying a word.

"Today, I have called everyone here to discuss the conflict between our alliance and the Xuanxiao Sect. What do you think about the spiritual veins of the Seven Star Reef?"

At this time, Chen Guanxi quietly explained to Zhao Sheng:

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, you didn't know that you came late. Our Spring and Autumn Alliance has frequently clashed with the Xuanxiao Sect over the spiritual veins of Qixing Reef, and I'm afraid there will be a big fight this time. Hehe, Friend Daoist Zhao, your luck is too bad! "

Zhao Sheng nodded slightly when he heard this, without any change of color on his face. He didn't think he was unlucky, but thought this was an opportunity.

The Spring and Autumn Alliance is the overlord of Jiuzhen Island. He wanted to learn truly advanced alchemy skills and achieve his goals faster and better with the help of the Spring and Autumn Alliance. The premise of all this was to make enough contributions to the Spring and Autumn Alliance.

Zhao Sheng watched silently as others expressed their opinions impassionedly. He found that most people supported a head-on fight with the Xuanxiao Sect.

Looking at the appearance of the first three Jindan masters, Zhao Sheng vaguely realized that all this was done for Gu Yanqiu to see.

When everyone expressed their attitude, Gu Yanqiu smiled with emotion: "Before I came, my family said that the Spring and Autumn Alliance was in disarray. But from today's perspective, this statement is completely false. Your alliance is quite united! Senior Changkong, You have made up your mind, are you really going to have a fight with the Xuanxiao Sect?"

Qifeng and Chiyuan's eyes flickered when they heard this. After looking at each other, their eyes turned to the alliance leader.

At this time, Master Changkong smiled slightly and said slowly: "Special envoy, it's not that the Spring and Autumn Alliance insists on fighting with the Xuanxiao Sect, but it's because it bullies people too much. The Broken Star Sea has already made a public decision about the ownership of the Seven Star Reef! But the Xuanxiao Sect has not You are using strong words to make excuses, and you must occupy the Seven Star Reef. The Spring and Autumn Alliance cannot retreat, and it cannot retreat! Otherwise, it will not make our comrades laugh!"

Gu Yanqiu took a deep breath and said: "Peace is the most important thing in everything! Both Guimeng and Xuanxiao Sect are old friends of Zhuque Island. It is better for both of you to take a step back. I am willing to be a peacemaker and go to Xuanxiao Sect. Together. Senior Changkong, what do you think?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Taoist Qifeng said loudly: "What the special envoy doesn't know is that the Seven Star Reef has been within the sphere of influence of our Spring and Autumn Alliance since it was discovered two hundred years ago. Originally, there was only one first-order spiritual vein here, and there was not much development. potential.

But in recent times, someone has accidentally discovered that there is a larger second-order spiritual vein connected to the end of the Seven Star Reef spiritual vein. The Xuanxiao Sect was covetous of this second-level spiritual vein and actually claimed that the spiritual vein was not within the scope of the Seven Star Reef and was an ownerless spiritual vein.

What's even more shameful is that they actually said that the second-level spiritual veins were discovered by them long ago and should belong to the Xuanxiao Sect. These are really strong words, and they are intolerable! "

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was furious.

After Qifeng finished speaking, he looked directly at Gu Yanqiu and asked, "Special envoy, do you think Xuanxiao Sect did the right thing?"

Gu Yanqiu looked at Master Qifeng with glaring eyes, suppressed the smile on his face, and said slowly: "In that case, let's follow the old rules! Let's have a gambling fight. As for the method of gambling, just It will be up to you and the Zixiao Sect to send three foundation-building monks each to engage in a life-and-death fight, and the winner will get the ownership of the Seven Star Reef."

When Qifeng and Chiyuan heard this, they looked dissatisfied and were startled.

The old Taoist Qifeng was about to argue, but Master Changkong waved his hand and said seriously: "Betting is okay, but the Xuanxiao Sect also has to put up something of equal value as a bet."

"Okay, I will persuade Xuanxiao Sect to agree. Then, how about putting this gambling fight in half a year?"

"Can!"

"Leader, no!" Master Chi Yuan blurted out in a hurry after hearing this.

Master Changkong waved his hand and said without any doubt: "No need to persuade me, just use gambling to settle the issue."

At this point, most of the other people below had uncertain expressions, not knowing what they were thinking.
