Ascension Through Generations

In the past twenty years, many major events have happened to the Xinglong Zhao family.

Just three months after his eldest son passed away, Patriarch Zhao Dingguang, who had been holding on for more than ten years, finally passed away at the end of his life and passed away on the ninth floor of Bagua Guangming Building one day in early autumn.

Within half a year, the head of the family, Zhao Dexuan, was too old to handle the increasingly heavy family affairs, so he had to abdicate in favor of others.

The new head of the family was born in the Li lineage, his name was Zhao Debang, and he had a seventh-level cultivation base. He was smart, capable, fair and selfless, and won the hearts of eight people. He eventually took over as the 23rd head of the Zhao family at the age of 130.

Since the Zhao family lost two Jindan ancestors one after another, the old patriarch had to abdicate.

But at this time, ancestor Zhao Xuanjing was assigned a very secret task by the sect, and there was no news about it.

For a time, the Xinglong Zhao family was in panic and their power was unstable. Even the surrounding forces were eyeing it.

At this critical moment, Zhao Sheng stepped forward, visited all the surrounding forces in just one month, and fought against many foundation-building monks in the name of competition.

A hundred battles in one month, no defeat!

In the last battle, Zhao Sheng actually managed to survive under the joint attack of the two Foundation Establishment Perfectionists, and it ended in a draw.

At this point, Zhao Sheng became famous.

In just one month, Zhao's reputation as "Crazy Dragon" spread throughout thousands of miles. This also calmed the hearts of the Zhao family and at the same time forced back many people with ill intentions.

Two years later, Zhao Xuanjing returned safely. As soon as he appeared, the Zhao family was as stable as a mountain.

Under the leadership of the new head of the family, the Xinglong Zhao family has developed and grown step by step, and its power has become stronger year by year.

In the twelfth year, the Zhao family discovered a medium-sized spirit stone mine underground in a valley more than two thousand miles north of Xinglongyuan.

Since the Lingshi Mine is located at the junction of the two forces, the Zhao family had a cordial and friendly exchange with their "neighbor" Shushan Guan. In the end, they won a small victory and the Lingshi Mine was taken into the arms of the Zhao family.

With this spirit stone mine, Zhao's income has greatly increased, and his financial situation has improved rapidly, barely able to maintain a balance of payments.

At this moment, Zhao Sheng, who had been the "face" for more than 20 years, finally retired and handed over the "face" task to the next "face" candidate.

From then on, he lived in seclusion in the city, teaching his son while practicing silently.

As his second son Zhao Huaxiong grew up, Zhao Sheng's cultivation level also improved rapidly.

Twenty years later, in the twelfth lunar month of winter, Zhao Sheng was finally promoted to the Great Perfection of Foundation Construction at the "advanced age" of sixty years.

…

"The original wave of corpses in the Sky Burials was once again suppressed, but sixty-two immortal cultivating forces were brutally wiped out. The five thousand miles nearby were transformed into ghosts, and hundreds of millions of people were killed or injured."

"The seals of the two realms have been greatly loosened again, and the Taishang Induction Sect has found out the reason. The nine-star continuum that occurs once in ten thousand years will occur in thirty years. At that time, the cracks in the two realms will be broken open by the power of time and space, and the Tianzhu realm will once again Connect with the ghost world."

"The Taishang Induction Sect united with the other nine major sects and urgently summoned the top forces from all over the world to discuss countermeasures."

"...Affected by the power of time and space, the caves of Tianzhu Realm's relics appear frequently. In the past month, two Nascent Soul Relics have been discovered by casual cultivators in Tianzhu Mountain..."

"... Major sects in the world of cultivating immortals have opened their gates one after another. On the fifth day of March next year, the Ziyang Sect will open its gates on May 15th, and the Alchemy Sect will hold an alchemist meeting to accept casual alchemists... In November, the Beast Control Sect will succeed. Capturing a sixth-level Golden Retriever…"

"The prices of elixirs, spiritual weapons, talismans, and talismans have generally increased. It is recommended to stock up on elixirs and refining materials."

Zhao Sheng slowly put down the jade slip of information in his hand, his expression very solemn.

He hesitated for a moment, then looked at the elegant Dong Miaozhen beside him, and suggested: "Madam, Xiong'er is already twenty years old, shouldn't it be time for him to join the Ksitigarbha Sect?"

Dong Miaozhen frowned when he heard this and said coldly: "It's not enough to have Ying'er. Why should Xiong'er also join the Ksitigarbha Sect? What do the ancestors think in their hearts?"

Zhao Sheng advised: "The ancestors are also good for us. Things in the Sky Burial Plains are getting more and more serious now. Once the nine stars connect and the ghost world invades again, it will never be a small fight like ten thousand years ago. It is impossible to say that it will happen again. A brutal war between the two worlds.

If you think about it, if the two worlds fight together, everyone will be devastated. At that time, what is the safest place in the Tianzhu world besides Haoran Sect’s Tongtian Boat? It is the mountain gate of Ksitigarbha Sect! "

Hearing what her husband said, Dong Miaozhen suddenly realized and immediately changed his attitude: "In this case, the sooner Xiong'er becomes a member of the Ksitigarbha Sect, the better. We can think of this, and so can other families. If it's too late, I'm afraid that the Ksitigarbha Sect will It’s overcrowded and we won’t accept our heroes anymore.”

"Don't worry! Ancestor is here!"

…

Ten days later, Zhao Sheng and Dong Miaozhen watched their second son Zhao Huaxiong fly into the sky with Zhao Xuanjing.

In an instant, the two disappeared behind the sea of ​​clouds.

Looking at the sea of ​​clouds where his son disappeared, Dong Miaozhen's eyes were moist, while Zhao Sheng slowly looked back and clenched the gold medal in his hand.

Before Zhao Xuanjing left, he gave him the ancestor's gold medal.

This ancestor's gold medal represents the supreme authority. With the gold medal in hand, it's like the ancestor is here in person.

At the same time, Zhao Xuanjing also entrusted him with several important tasks.

The first thing is...

Five days later, in Tongxin Hall on the eighth floor of Bagua Guangming Building, a huge ebony round table with a diameter of more than ten feet was placed in the center of the main hall.

Thirty-three elders of the Eight Meridians gathered around the round table, sitting at the table with clear distinctions.

At this time, the atmosphere in Tongxintang seemed extremely impetuous, and some people had a little anger on their faces, obviously they had just had a quarrel.

"The Sky Burial is originally thousands of miles away from us. I don't agree with the family getting involved in such a big event."

"That's right! No one else can hide from something like a war between two worlds. Why do we, the Zhao family, have to plunge headlong into it? Isn't it possible that the lives of our tribe are not our lives? Qingyang, what do you think?"

The two elders of the Foundation Establishment clan questioned repeatedly, while some of the clan elders also showed approval.

Zhao Debang, the head of the family with a strange face, turned to the silent Zhao Sheng and asked in a serious tone: "Qingyang, you brought this matter up. Logically speaking, you should also explain your opinions. Just now, everyone I’ve already said it, you should also say it.”

Zhao Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his gaze passed over the deep, dissatisfied, resentful, expectant, and passionate faces.

After reading it, he generally had a plan in mind, so he slowly said: "What I proposed is that the clan members will go to the Sky Burial Plains in batches to experience, but I did not say that the clan will definitely participate in the war between the two realms.

As for why the clan members were sent to the Sky Burial Plains for training? The reason is probably understood by everyone, it is just to prepare for a rainy day.

In addition, don’t think that Xinglongyuan and Tianzhengyuan are far apart from each other and that this matter has nothing to do with the family.

As everyone knows, people who have no long-term worries must have immediate worries.

No matter how far apart the two places are, in the final analysis they are still on the same continent.

When the two worlds fight together, if our side is unfavorable, the war will eventually spread to southern Xinjiang. Our family must not stay out of this.

Preparing one day in advance is ten thousand times better than panicking when a disaster strikes.

Having said this, Zhao Sheng observed the faces of other clan elders and saw that some people's expressions were touched and their attitudes began to change, but there were also a small number of clan elders who still persisted in their opinions.

"Master, do you think the training is feasible?" Zhao Sheng was dissatisfied, and finally deliberately killed Zhao Debang's army.

He didn't believe that Zhao Debang hadn't received a hint from Patriarch Zhao before.

Zhao Debang should obviously strongly support this matter, but now his attitude is ambiguous and vague.

Zhao Sheng felt that although this person was smart and capable, his desire for power was too strong. In order to monopolize the power of the family, he dared to attack such a major event. He was really greedy for power.

After hearing this, Zhao Debang's face twitched unconsciously, and then he nodded slowly and said: "I also agree with the practice, but the sky burial site is too dangerous. In order to reduce the casualties of the clan, I suggest that the first batch should have a powerful clan elder. lead."

Having said this, he looked at Zhao Sheng and suggested gently: "Qingyang, how about you take action personally this time?"

Zhao Sheng shook his head: "Master, I'm sorry! I will go to Tianzhu Mountain soon and stay for at least half a year. I can't leave to go to Tianzhuyuan.

Well, it was handed down by the ancestor himself. "

After he finished speaking, the seven or eight venerable clan elders present suddenly changed their expressions, as if they had thought of something.

"Haha! Tianzhu Mountain's affairs are still important. I'll choose someone else to go. It's about time!" Zhao Debang was disappointed and couldn't help but laugh and mumble.

With the support of the family head, most of the elders of the Foundation Establishment clan agreed to Zhao Sheng's suggestion.

An hour later, after a detailed discussion, it was finally decided that the Zhao family would send people to the Sky Burial Plains for training.

In fact, only a few people in the entire Xinglong Zhao family know the profound impact that the experience will have on the Zhao family's future.

On the surface, the War between Two Realms is a world war that affects hundreds of millions of creatures in the Tianzhu Realm and the Netherworld Ghost Realm.

But in essence, it is also an external manifestation of the two worlds devouring each other.

If the world is compared to life. Life has the instinct to evolve, and so does the world.

The world of the universe is usually divided into four major realms: the realm of death, the world of Hengsha, the spiritual realm, and the legendary fairy realm.

If the Hengsha Realm wants to be promoted to the spiritual world, the fastest way is to devour other worlds, sacrifice everything on the enemy, and eventually turn it into fertilizer for one's own evolution.

So from this aspect, the war between the two worlds can be said to be a life-and-death fight between the two worlds.

Perhaps this fight may last for hundreds of millions of years. I don’t know how many wars between the two worlds will go through before the final winner can be born.

Because the time scale is too long, it is meaningless to the Xinglong Zhao family.

Zhao Sheng only cares about this war between the two worlds.

There is a saying: "The sky sends out murderous intentions, and the stars change places; the earth sends out murderous intentions, and dragons and snakes rise from the ground; people send murderous intentions, and heaven and earth repeat themselves."

Although the way of heaven is impartial and selfless, and treats all things as stupid dogs, when the two worlds are at war, heaven and earth will also have "murderous intentions".

Once the law of heaven becomes angry, the heaven and earth will be in turmoil, making the heavenly secrets chaotic, dragons and snakes rising from the land, countless individuals and forces will take advantage of the situation to rise, and countless big bosses and forces will perish in a short period of time.

The reason for this is because this matter involves the theory of the five innate movements and five virtues.

The five innate fortunes are born with the five virtues. If one fortune restrains one virtue, it will also be restrained by one virtue.

The five kinds of luck are divided into good luck, killing luck, interception luck, final luck and calamity luck.

The five virtues are also divided into holy virtue, yin virtue, merit, merit and morality.

Let’s not mention the biochemical transfer between the Five Movements and Five Virtues for the moment.

As long as the war between the two worlds continues, Heaven will take the initiative to send down innate virtues and reward those individuals who have made great contributions to their own world.

If the human forces in the Tianzhu Realm can defeat the invaders, they can counterattack the Netherworld and Ghost Realm, and then plunder the enemy world. You can imagine how "joyful" your own heaven will be.

The sage said: The way of heaven will bring you success!

Why did the Haoran Sect work tirelessly to control the sky-reaching cloud boat, crush the meteorites from the sky, and stop the outsiders who broke into this world without permission?

Why does the Ksitigarbha Sect continue to sort out the earth's veins for thousands of years?

Why does the Supreme Sensing Sect always appear in troubled times to save the common people? Why do you always have insight into the secrets of heaven?

How was the Destiny Clan in the Tianzhu Realm born?

Once these questions are looked at together with the way of heaven, one will feel a sudden enlightenment.

When heaven favors someone or a group, it goes without saying how beneficial it is.

Before Zhao Xuanjing left, he specifically asked Zhao Sheng about this matter, and his intention is self-evident.

In addition, the reason why Zhao Sheng knows such extremely secret inside information is that he married a good wife, and the other is that Zhao Xuanjing has a special status in the Ksitigarbha Sect, so he found out such secrets from top-secret files.

Zhao Sheng also learned that among the ten major sects in Central Continent, the Ziyang Sect, the Sky-Splitting Swordsmanship and the Immortal Weapon Sect made great achievements in the war between the two realms thousands of years ago, and they were able to stand out after the war and eventually grew into what they are today. Wait for the giant.

…

A month later, when the first batch of fifteen Qi Refining clan members set off for the Sky Burial Plains under the leadership of a late-stage Foundation Establishment clan elder, Zhao Sheng also said goodbye to his wife and left Xinglong City silently.

The Danding Sect is about six thousand miles away from Xinglongyuan, and it took Zhao Sheng three days to get to Jiudingfang.

After waiting for another two days, he transformed into an ordinary casual cultivator and boarded the Yue Yunzhou.

A moment later, the silver-white cloud boat as huge as a mountain rose silently into the Tiangang atmosphere, and then sped towards the sky.

Twenty days later, Zhao Sheng once again saw Tianzhu Mountain, known as the "One Pillar in the Sky" after nearly 900 years.

Standing on the deck and looking from a distance, I saw above the vast sea of ​​clouds, a giant peak reaching the sky stood at the top of the clouds, like a pillar supporting the sky, with the upper half directly submerged into the upper sea of ​​clouds. It looked majestic and majestic, and the majesty of the scene was difficult to describe in words.

In the blink of an eye, Yue Yunzhou arrived at Tianzhu Mountain, and his sight was suddenly filled with the steep and steep cliffs in front of him. Looking around, the earth and stone cliffs stretched endlessly to the left and right, with no end in sight.

Tianzhu Mountain is so huge that it seems as if Zaoyue Yunzhou is going to hit it head-on at the next moment. In an instant, a strong sense of suffocation hits his face.

Fortunately, in the next second, the bow of Gan Yue Yun Zhou suddenly sank, quickly flew downwards, and submerged into the sea of ​​clouds in an instant.

After just two breaths, the heavy sea of ​​clouds passed by, and the yellow-green land below came into view instantly, and everyone felt relieved.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Sheng flew out of the cloud boat and turned into a stream of light, flying straight into the huge Tianzhu Grotto not far away.
