Ascension Through Generations

In this year's speech competition, the person who won the first place, beyond everyone's expectations, was Zhao Degang, who is always known for his sharp tongue and thick face.

Looking at the fat black man who was holding his hands on the stage, Zhao Sheng turned to look at Zhao Qinghua with firm eyes next to him:

"If you choose to participate in the competition, the first place will be yours, and even the Foundation Establishment Pill will be yours. You see others enjoying great glory, but you will remain anonymous from now on. Do you not regret it in the future?"

Zhao Qinghua's face showed no emotion, and he said firmly and calmly: "I never regret it!"

"Okay, I saw you right. Having you join the Zhao family's ANBU will be even more powerful."

Having said this, Zhao Sheng said confidently: "As long as you don't die unexpectedly halfway, I will give you a golden elixir for your future."

In ten years, Zhao Qinghua has now reached the eighth level of Qi refining, and his own luck is also increasing day by day. One-third of his red luck has been transformed into cyan.

Zhao Sheng dared to praise Haikou like this because the other party was extremely lucky.

The important thing is that Zhao Qinghua caught Zhao Sheng's eyes, both in terms of character, conduct and handsomeness.

He is very willing to cultivate a second "Zhao Xuanjing" for the Zhao family.

…

At night, in a low-key and luxurious mansion in the Lihuo District of Xinglong City, Zhao Sheng sat at the head of the table in the living room.

Zhao Degang, who had just won the first place in acting during the day, sat at the bottom with a respectful look on his face.

"Master Gang, how sure are you of being promoted to Foundation Establishment?"

Zhao Sheng has accepted Zhao Degang for ten years and has already completely subdued him. He treats him as a confidant and naturally does not need to be polite when speaking.

"Twenty percent at most." Zhao Degang suddenly looked sad when he heard this, losing all his high spirits during the day.

Zhao Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and the five-colored light flashed in his eyes. He saw that the other party's luck was slightly chaotic, but his luck was as stable as ever.

"Don't worry, I'll give you another reassurance."

As he spoke, Zhao Sheng let go of one hand, and a pill bottle flew out from the bottom of his sleeve and fell smoothly into Zhao Degang's hand.

When he opened it and took a look, he was overjoyed: "Is this a top-grade foundation-building pill?!"

After saying that, his expression changed and he quickly declined: "Qingyang, this thing is too valuable, I can't accept it!"

"Well, you can keep it! My hands are itchy recently, so I just made a furnace and happened to get two high-quality ones."

Zhao Sheng said it in an understatement, but it made Zhao Degang secretly speechless and amazed.

According to seniority in the clan, he is Fang Ye's generation.

But really speaking, he is the real master.

Compared with others, he is like a loach meeting a real dragon. They are completely different.

This man, who is less than thirty years old, has actually advanced to the foundation building level. Not only is he a good practitioner of Dharma and Body, he is also knowledgeable about heaven and man. He is also rich and multi-talented, and can be said to be the best in elixirs and talismans.

When it comes to the ability to make alchemy and draw talismans, few people in the Zhao family can match it.

What's more important is that this man is indifferent to fame and wealth. Not only is he extremely low-key within the clan, but his reputation is not even apparent to the outside world.

If Zhao Degang hadn't been with him for ten years, he wouldn't have known how talented this Zhao family Qianlong was!

Taking alchemy alone as an example, he had never heard of anyone who had only been studying alchemy for more than ten years and could easily refine a top-grade foundation-building elixir.

Just like he has never seen anyone learn how to make talismans in one go, become proficient in it in a short time, and can also innovate and create new talismans.

The man in front of him has this kind of "magical power"!

Once upon a time, Zhao Degang scorned the theory of "Suhui" promoted by ancient Buddhism in the Western Wilderness, but now it seems that it may not be a lie.

Zhao Sheng didn't know that Zhao De had thought so much in just the blink of an eye.

He is very optimistic about Zhao Degang's future.

The opponent's luck is not low. According to the five colors of gray, white, red, blue and purple, red luck is already the third level.

After his reincarnation, after years of secret observation, Zhao Sheng discovered that the fortunes of most of the Zhao family's foundation-building elders ranged from light red to pure red.

The fortunes of several clan elders in the later stages of foundation building are even more red and green. Although they are far inferior to Zhao Qinghua, they are already among the best in the clan.

The luck of the three ancestors, Zhao Xuanjing, Zhao Tongxian, and Zhao Dingguang, is blue. Among them, Zhao Dingguang's luck is the lowest, light green, but Zhao Xuanjing's luck is soaring purple, and the cyan color is negligible.

After summarizing, Zhao Sheng discovered that the five colors of luck, gray, white, red, blue and purple, roughly correspond to the five realms of mortals, Qi refining, foundation building, golden elixir, and Yuanying.

Of course, he has also seen many exceptions, such as some people who were in the forefront of Hongyun who suddenly died unexpectedly and were only in the realm of Qi refining before they died.

The way of luck is extremely mysterious, and Zhao Sheng has only scratched the surface of it and dare not explain it in words.

…

Suddenly, spring passed and autumn came, and the peaches were ripe.

Xinglong City, underground fire zone, the overweight room was filled with steam and mist, and dull crashing sounds could be heard faintly from inside.

Zhao Sheng was sweating like rain, wearing a layer of black iron armor on his body, running in circles in the dojo.

He was not exercising, just warming up.

Since ten years of foundation building, Zhao Sheng's body has actually experienced its second growth.

For ten years, he never left the elixir of demon meat, gnawed ginseng as a radish, and took countless elixirs that nourished qi and blood.

Now he is finally over seven feet tall, with some flesh on his face and body, and he barely looks like a consumptive ghost.

To outsiders, Zhao Sheng was still extremely thin and sallow, but almost no one knew that his physique had been greatly enhanced.

Under twenty times the gravity, he could still run dozens of laps easily just to warm up, even though he was wearing three hundred kilograms of black iron armor.

After a cup of tea, Zhao Sheng, who had run thirty laps, slowly stopped, raised his hand with one hand, and the black iron heavy armor crashed to the ground.

While his blood was boiling, he took out a whole bottle of Jingyuan Pills. Without even looking at it, he raised his neck and swallowed ten Jingyuan Pills.

After taking the elixir, Zhao Sheng took out the formation stone ball and lifted the gravity formation.

As soon as the twenty times gravity disappeared, he instantly felt relaxed and light, as if he could fly with just one foot on the ground.

In fact, he can easily jump thirty feet with a little effort.

The potential of this physical body was so strong that even Zhao Sheng himself was extremely shocked.

Zhao Sheng sat down cross-legged and allowed his gluttonous stomach to digest the Jingyuan Pill.

He summoned the Book of Hundreds of Worlds from his soul, turned to the sixth page, and the data panel appeared in his mind:

Name: Zhao Qingyang (Zhao Sheng)

longevity:29/236

Realm: Four levels of foundation building, half-step to spiritual enlightenment

Occupation: Level 2 Talisman Master, Level 2 Alchemist, Level 2 Weapon Refiner,

[Physique:] Gold and Fire Spiritual Roots (Earth), Ancient Fighting Body (Earth)

[Talent:] Fairy Vision (Disabled)

【Skill:】

Kung Fu: Golden Crow Burning Heaven Technique (proficient), Star God Thousand Heart Technique (proficient), Qi Watching Technique (beginner), Xiaoyun World Spirit Puppet Technique (proficient)...

Body Refining: Immortal Golden Body (Introduction), Vacuum Shattering Mountain Kung Fu (Dacheng), So Close to the End of the World (Small Success), Four Phases of Heaven and Man (Spirit Smell, Divine Eyes, Taotie)

Hundred Arts: Taoism (proficient), talismans (proficient), alchemy (proficient), weapon refining (proficient)…

Before reincarnation, Zhao Sheng once randomly selected a mysterious level skill: the master level "Xiaoyun World Spirit Puppet Technique".

This is a unique weapon-refining method. To be precise, it is a special method that belongs to the category of weapon-refining puppet.

Where in the universe is Xiaoyun Realm, and how many worlds are it separated from Tianzhu Realm?

Zhao Sheng didn't know, but he knew that Xiaoyun World was probably a world of immortal cultivation where weapon refining was popular.

Judging from the exquisite soul-refining and weapon-refining techniques in "Xiaoyun World Spirit Puppet Method", the level of weapon refining in that world is obviously much higher than that of Tianzhu World.

This time, Zhao Sheng made a profit from the Xuan level extraction. Not only did he learn a foreign language, he was also easily promoted to a second-level weapon refiner.

Even though he is a serious weapon refiner, when a spiritual weapon puppet is actually placed in front of people, no one can deny that he is a second-level weapon refiner.

Of course, he is the only one who knows about him being a cultivator now.

Thirty-year-old body refining and foundation building, coupled with a second-level alchemy master and a second-level talisman master are already shocking enough.

If the name of the second-level weapon refiner is exposed again, I am afraid that the old monster Nascent Soul will come to the door the next day, either to recruit disciples or to perform vivisection.

Zhao Sheng didn't dare to bet that the other party was kind-hearted and only came here to recruit disciples.

In the Tianzhu world, foundation-building body cultivators are also called body-refining practitioners in the Tongshen realm.

The innate martial arts is called spiritual communication!

The foundation-building body is blessed by spiritual roots, and its strength is more than ten times stronger than that of a spiritual warrior.

Zhao Sheng is now at the halfway stage of spiritual enlightenment.

In terms of physique, he is much more powerful than the same level of body refining and foundation building.

But when it comes to realm, he has not yet penetrated the five senses, so he cannot be considered a true body refiner.

Zhao Xianwu Hall was founded by Zhao Xuanjing six hundred years ago.

At that time, he had just been promoted to Jindan and was just about halfway through joining the Ksitigarbha Sect.

Being among the ten top sects in Central Continent, Zhao Xuanjing's vision has been greatly broadened, and he can see more profoundly than when he was in Taiwu Mountain.

At that time, he specially exchanged more than a dozen body-training techniques from the Ksitigarbha Sect's Sutra Collection Cave and founded the Xianwu Hall.

This move is firstly to open up a body refining path for the family, and secondly to mobilize and stimulate the potential of the Zhao family's mortal family.

You must know that the strength of the spiritual warriors is not inferior to that of the general Qi Refining Dzogchen. Some super powerful spiritual masters can compete with the foundation-building monks.

Judging from the results, Zhao Xuanjing was right. Now the Immortal Martial Hall is full of innates, and the Half-Step Divine Martial Sect has more than a hundred people.

And there are more than five fingers of Grand Masters who can deal with Foundation Establishment monks for hundreds of rounds.

Don't think this is too exaggerated. Consider that out of the more than five million Zhao family, there are only five or six great masters of the divine realm who are "comparable to foundation building".

This one-in-a-million ratio is truly an exaggeration, and the difficulty of martial arts can be seen from this.

"The Four Phases of Heaven and Man" is the spiritual martial arts that Zhao Sheng majored in. This skill originated from ancient Buddhism and was later acquired by a certain Ksitigarbha sect founder.

This unknown founder personally deleted the religious parts of the exercises, combined them with the body-refining techniques of the sect, and finally created this "Four Phases of Heaven and Man"

This skill is divided into four realms: "Body Appearance, Mind Appearance, Spirit Appearance, and Dharma Appearance", corresponding to the four realms of foundation building, golden elixir, Yuanying, and spirit transformation.

Xianwutang only has a chapter on the physical aspects of the four aspects of heaven and man, which are subdivided into "eyes, ears, mouth, nose, body" and five senses.

As a physical training method adapted from Buddhist practices, the Four Phases of Heaven and Man have the characteristics of different magical powers for different people.

Take Zhao Sheng as an example. He has already cultivated "Spiritual Smell, Divine Eyes, and Taotie", but he still lacks the two items of ears and body.

If there are other psychic warriors, they may also have powers such as seeing things in the dark, hearing the wind, etc.

…

After reading the personal data, Zhao Sheng took back the Book of Hundreds of Worlds and reached into the storage bag with his spiritual consciousness. Then a Geng Gold Bead as big as a grape flew out of it, spun around, and finally hovered three feet in the air in front of him.

Then, he silently performed the exercises, and the spiritual energy in his Dantian suddenly "boiled" and turned into a sea of ​​lavender fire.

"Purple Yang Fire, come out!"

With a low cry, a purple "lotus" suddenly rose from the lavender sea of ​​fire,

As soon as the fire lotus was born, it suddenly flew away from the dantian, passed through layers of skin, came out from under Zhao Sheng's navel, and gently turned and flew to the bottom of Geng Jinzhu, covering it.

Zhao Sheng formed a Golden Crow Curse Seal with both hands, and the Purple Yang Spiritual Power surged in his body, looking for the thread of spiritual power to connect with the Purple Yang Fire.

With a movement of his consciousness, spiritual power was poured out, and the Purple Sun Fire exploded suddenly, instantly turning into a huge fire lotus with a radius of about ten feet. The petals of the fire lotus rotated slowly, and the raging flames released a terrifying high temperature.

In the center of the fire lotus, the golden bead undulated slightly, and under the heat of the purple sun fire, its surface gradually shone with bright blue light like a star.

An hour later, sweat appeared on Zhao Sheng's forehead and nearly half of his spiritual energy was consumed.

At this moment, the Geng Jin Pearl in the Purple Sun Fire Lotus has shrunk by a large circle, and wisps of smoke-like Geng Gold Qi are trapped by the fire lotus and have to linger around the Geng Gold Pearl.

At this moment, the divine light in Zhao Sheng's eyes exploded, the Golden Crow Curse Seal dispersed, and his hands suddenly turned into Lotus Curse Seal.

In an instant, the Ziyang Fire Lotus quickly shrank to the size of a fist,

Immediately afterwards, the Ziyang Fire Lotus wrapped in Gengjin energy quickly sank into Zhao Sheng's abdomen like a tired bird returning to the forest, returned to the depths of his Dantian, and finally merged into Ziyang's spiritual power.

As soon as the Gengjin Qi lost its restraint, Zhao Sheng used his spiritual power to catch it, slowly brought it out of the Dantian, moved it to the right thigh bone, and began to refine it into the bone using secret techniques.

Half an hour later, the last ray of Gengjin Qi was refined, and at this time, dots of cold light appeared on the surface of Zhao Sheng's right thigh bone, and the cold light was filled with a faint sword intent.

Ten years later, Zhao Shenglu has successively transformed nearly seventy bones, including limbs, hands, feet, ribs and sternum, into Geng gold sword bones.

There are less than twenty Geng Gold beads left, but only one-third of the Geng Gold sword bones have been refined.

High-end precious materials like Geng Gold are hard to come by, and you don't even know how long it will take to completely refine the Geng Gold sword bone.

Zhao Sheng couldn't help but sigh, waved his hand, and a Geng Jin sword light shot out from his palm instantly.

In an instant, the sword light fell on the fine iron ground, leaving only a deep dark hole with extremely smooth edges.

He used his spiritual consciousness to explore the hole, and unexpectedly found that the hole was more than half a foot deep, and the thickness of the fine iron alone was more than three inches deep.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Sheng finally showed a smile on his face.

"The Geng Gold Sword Bone is really powerful. It's not in vain that I paid such a high price."

After a while, Zhao Sheng put away the Geng Golden Pearl, turned out the magic circle stone ball with one hand, restarted the gravity magic circle, and adjusted it to twenty-three times the gravity.

Then, he took out two medium-grade fire spirit stones from the storage bag, held them in his hands, silently performed mystical skills, and began to absorb the spiritual energy from the spirit stones, refining them and integrating them into Ziyang's spiritual power.

…

One year later, the Geng Gold Pearls were consumed and eighty-three pieces of Geng Gold Sword Bones were refined, successfully breaking through the fifth level of foundation building.

On this day, Zhao Sheng walked out of the overweight room dripping with sweat.

At this moment, the jade plaque he wore around his waist suddenly flashed rapidly.

Zhao Sheng was stunned when he saw this, and immediately penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness, and a piece of information immediately emerged.

"Tonight at Haishi, the Tongxintang clan elders will discuss matters. Be sure to come! Zhao Dexuan left a message."

Zhao Dexuan is the current patriarch of the Xinglong Zhao family and a foundation-building Dzogchen monk.

This person advocates ruling by doing nothing when managing his family. He is especially good at making peace with others. He can be regarded as a "good old man" patriarch.

"Clan leader, even I was notified this time! It seems that another big event happened in the clan. Could it be..."

Zhao Sheng's expression changed, and he suddenly thought of something.
