Ascension Through Generations

The sun rises and the moon sets, winter passes and spring comes, and a year passes in the blink of an eye.

On the day when the white plume flowers bloomed again all over southern Xinjiang, outside Xinglong City, a large cloud boat with a length of more than 80 feet and a silvery white body docked in the open space outside the military camp.

Zhao Sheng and the Zhao clan elders stood on the high platform, watching groups of Xinglong Taoist soldiers wearing black armor boarding the Yunzhou one after another.

A quarter of an hour later, a total of 800 Xinglong Dao soldiers boarded the ship.

Zhao Sheng withdrew his gaze, looked back at the head of the family, Zhao Degang, who was standing at the front, and solemnly said to him: "I leave the burden of the family to you!"

Zhao Degang looked solemn, "Don't worry, ancestor! The family's ancestral motto is of one heart and one mind, and it can cut through metal. Degang will always be remembered. I guarantee with my life that the family will be safe and nothing will happen."

"That's good!" Zhao Sheng nodded and glanced at the other elders of the Foundation Establishment clan who stayed behind. He tapped his feet lightly and his body immediately flew up. Suddenly, it turned into a ray of light and flew into the Yunzhou in an instant.

Not long after, the large cloud boat shook slightly, and a light shield rose up from the hull. Then it silently lifted off the ground, rose into the clouds in the blink of an eye, and disappeared without a trace.

…

One month later,

The sky is gloomy, the cold wind is howling,

A large silver-white cloud boat suddenly broke through the thick black clouds and dived towards the earth with lightning speed.

At this moment, looking down from Yunzhou, I saw that the land below was desolate, covered with scorched black, and the ground was bare, with almost no grass growing.

The most conspicuous thing on the entire surface is a winding Great Wall shining with golden light, towering and thick, like a mountain.

This golden wall of the Great Wall stretches to the end of the earth, and the edge can't be seen at a glance.

Some areas near the Great Wall are dotted with large buildings, stone houses and other building complexes. At this time, it is very busy below. I can see Yunzhou spaceships of different shapes roaring down, and another one roaring and taking off, rushing towards the sky in all directions. .

In the blink of an eye, a three-foot-long miniature flying boat suddenly rushed out of the Jinbi Great Wall. It flew into the sky extremely flexibly and quickly approached Zhao's Yunzhou.

Soon, the two boats converged.

Then, guided by the flying boat, Yunzhou slowly flew for more than a hundred miles, and finally docked at a large square covering an area of ​​a hundred miles.

There are densely packed various flying instruments parked in the square, and thousands of people on the ground are busy walking back and forth in the square.

Buzz!

The hatch of Yunzhou was opened, and groups of Xinglong Dao soldiers quickly jumped out of the hatch, and then quickly formed two large square formations.

The military formation was neat and uniform, exuding a murderous aura. Above everyone's heads, a stream of energy smoke rose into the sky, and then converged and merged, causing the illusion of a huge crocodile dragon to appear in the sky above the military formation.

It has been a year since the Xinglong Taoist Legion was established, and it has also been "getting along day and night" with Zhao's sixth-order crocodile dragon, the guardian beast of the Zhao family.

Facing a sixth-level monster, the Zhao family's Taoist soldiers grew rapidly. From the initial collapse, until the last month, 600 people formed a Taoist formation and could barely compete with it.

Because of this, the military spirit of the Xinglong Legion actually manifested into a crocodile dragon, which made Zhao Sheng a little bit dumbfounded.

The appearance of the Zhao Taoist Army immediately caused quite a stir.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that another powerful dragon has arrived today. The resources consumed by a Taoist army of this size every year are overwhelming, and no powerful force can afford it.

The commotion in the square quickly subsided, and everyone began to go about their own business again, no longer paying attention to this side.

In the past year, Tianzhongyuan has welcomed too many powerful Taoist legions. After the people here opened their eyes, they are now commonplace.

The Xinglong Legion is not the strongest, not even top-notch, so naturally it will not attract attention for a long time.

Zhao Sheng was the last to fly off the Yunzhou.

When he got off the boat, the large cloud boat quickly soared into the sky and sped towards the horizon.

There are many small families near Xinglongyuan who are in urgent need of large-scale cloud boat transportation.

In line with the principle of making some money, Zhao Sheng asked Yunzhou to run back and forth long distances before the official war started so that he could earn back some capital.

At this time, a ray of light flew from the sky, fell next to Zhao Sheng in an instant, and transformed into a burly giant more than two feet tall.

It was none other than Zhao Xuanjing, the ancestor of the Zhao family.

Zhao Sheng greeted him quickly and said with a smile: "Ancestor, you are here."

Zhao Xuanjing nodded, without saying much, and said directly: "You follow me. Everything here has been arranged."

Zhao Sheng was not surprised at all. If he couldn't even do this, wouldn't it be that the name of the ancestor of Yuanying was in vain.

The Xinglong Legion came faster and walked faster.

In less than a quarter of an hour, there was no sign of them in the square.

…

Three days later, Zhao Sheng stood on the golden city wall, overlooking the front, with a look of shock on his face.

Beneath the hundred-foot-high Great Wall, there was actually no flat land in front of them, but a large abyss with a diameter of more than a hundred miles, smooth walls, and the bottom of which could not be seen at a glance.

This abyss is called the Cliff Cave. It is not a natural formation, but was transformed by manpower.

The scale of the sect alliance's efforts was astonishing to everyone.

Zhao Sheng looked up at the top of the abyss, about a thousand feet high. It was empty and seemingly empty.

However, he could clearly sense the sky, where a massive amount of cold air surged out of thin air at all times and spread out to the surrounding world.

Directly above the abyss is where the rift in time and space is.

Although due to the seal, Zhao Sheng's consciousness is temporarily unable to penetrate the cracks in time and space.

But according to data, this space-time rift is about three miles long, and the total amount of "spiritual energy" poured in from the seal loophole every day is equivalent to the amount of a large fourth-order spiritual vein.

Affected by this, the Sky Burial Plains have not been able to recover for nearly ten thousand years, causing its thousands-mile territory to become a paradise for zombies, monsters and ghosts.

However, after these years of continuous siege and suppression, most of the corpses in the Sky Burial Plains have been reduced to ashes.

After looking at it for a long time, Zhao Sheng slowly looked back.

At this time, a tall figure in full armor walked up to him and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhao, after watching for so long, can't you still not make up your mind?"

Zhao Sheng turned to look at the armored man, shook his head slightly, and politely declined: "My Zhao family's background is shallow and cannot be compared to the Dong family. Although the plan of immeasurable merit is excellent, I don't want to risk the lives of my clan members."

"Brother Zhao, wealth has been sought in danger since ancient times! Once the immeasurable merit plan is successful, the benefits for us will be immeasurable. Think about what merit and great wealth it is to conquer a world!

Don’t you want to be promoted to Nascent Soul, or even become a god? Don't you want to watch the Xinglong Zhao family develop into a super family that spans two worlds? "The armored man said seductively.

The armored man's name is Dong Bichen. This man is the leader of the Taoist Army of the Weaver Girl's Dong family, and possesses the late Golden Core cultivation level.

Since the two families are related by marriage, Dong Bichen took the initiative to find Zhao Sheng yesterday and persuaded him to join a big project called Boundless Merits.

Zhao Sheng has also heard about the plan of immeasurable merit. It's called Immeasurable Merits, but it's actually an invasion plan to counterattack the ghost world.

That's right! Some forces are very optimistic and have already begun planning to counterattack other realms before the war begins.

With the support of several god-transforming true kings, the plan of infinite merit was successfully launched, and was quickly accepted by many ambitious forces and actively participated in it.

The Dong family is only one of them, and its strength is not top-notch, because all ten major sects in Central Continent have also joined.

In order to get a bigger share of the pie, the Weaver Girl Dong family mobilized their thousands of years of connections and tried their best to win over the in-laws.

The Xinglong Zhao family has Yuan Ying Patriarch in charge, so it is of course highly valued by the Dong family.

At this time, Zhao Sheng, as the "son-in-law", is undoubtedly the best person to persuade.

To be honest, Zhao Sheng would occasionally be very moved after listening to Dong Bichen's words.

But after much thought, he finally backed down. For no other reason, Zhao Sheng was not optimistic about this plan.

Zhao Sheng's refusal made the Dong family's wishful thinking come to nothing.

Dong Bichen tried to persuade him unwillingly for a while, but Zhao Sheng always declined politely.

In the end, he lost his mind and passed away.

…

Without actually coming to the Sky Burial Plains, you can't imagine what kind of amazing power the forces from most of Central Continent would unleash when they unite.

Around that space-time rift, the sect alliance built three golden walls around it, surrounding it in the middle.

Each of the Great Walls is a hundred feet high. The outer walls are as strong as gold and are filled with various defensive and killing formations. There are also countless stone chambers built inside to garrison Taoist soldiers and immortal cultivators.

The innermost ring of the Great Wall, the Golden Wall, is more than 500 miles long. It is undoubtedly the one that the Alliance has spent the most time on. It is equipped with many powerful weapons and elite Taoist soldiers from various major sects are also stationed here.

At the same time, it is also the one with the most high-level combat power among the three golden walls. It can be said that the foundation here is not as good as a dog. The golden elixir is everywhere, and only Nascent Soul can shake it.

Zhao's Xinglong Legion was not stationed here, but retreated to the second ring of the Golden Wall.

As for the third ring, it can be described in one sentence as the last line of defense and the distribution center for logistics materials.

The distance between the first ring and the second ring of the Great Wall is only over 200 miles. The area in between is covered with various restrictions and many forces are stationed there.

Most of these forces are not weak, but they have no backers.

On the surface, they are participating in defensive rotations, but in fact they are all cannon fodder.

Part of the mission of the "troops" stationed on the second ring of the Great Wall is to monitor these cannon fodder and prevent them from escaping.

The reason why the Xinglong Zhao family received such "preferential treatment" was naturally inseparable from Zhao Xuanjing's reputation.

Of course, there are two giants standing behind the Zhao family, one is the old monster of the Beggar Immortal, and the other is the Weaver Girl Dong family.

The area where the Xinglong Taoist soldiers were stationed was thirty miles long, so as soon as they were stationed, the entire legion began to become familiar with the various formations and magic weapons on the city wall, and carefully divided the defense sections, established a good relationship with the "friendly forces", and at the same time competed for more information. A lot of spiritual stone supplies.

The first two months were extremely busy.

It is worth mentioning that, perhaps for the sake of the two Nascent Souls, or because the Zhao clan members are very competitive, in addition to the necessary supplies of talismans, elixirs and other materials, each member of the Xinglong Legion also has a spiritual stone. Salary.

Although the Xiantian Dao soldiers only have one spiritual stone salary per month, which is not as much as the five that the Qi Refining clan members get. But this kind of treatment can only be enjoyed by less than ten forces on the entire second ring of the Great Wall.

As for the cannon fodder under the city wall, they simply brought their own dry food and couldn't even catch a hair.

Of course, the sectarian alliance would not be so ignorant and would not make such a hateful move.

In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of all forces, the alliance has launched many "big moves".

The first is to let go of the monopoly on knowledge, and actively release many high-level skills and a large amount of high-level information on alchemy, talisman making, weapon refining, beast control, formations and other immortal cultivation techniques, so that various forces can exchange them.

The second is to take the initiative to take out high-level treasures, such as treasures, talismans, treasures, magic treasures above the third level, and even heaven and earth spiritual objects, gold-forming pills, Yuanying pills, etc., which can also be exchanged as much as you like.

Third, a group of Nascent Soul Ancestors in the alliance hold a preaching ceremony to mobilize the enthusiasm of those who build foundations and golden elixirs.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to redeeming with merit points, you can also redeem by bartering, including spiritual stones.

The Golden Formation Pill, which could not be bought with one million spirit stones in ordinary times, can now be exchanged for eight hundred thousand spirit stones.

As soon as these "big moves" came out, the morale of the troops was immediately stabilized.

However, this move also immediately spawned many underground "black markets".

In the extremely popular black market, even spiritual stones have become something that everyone is grabbing for a while.

…

"The Tao is born from nothingness, and it is hidden in all spirits, but it is unpredictable; the spirit is concentrated in the void, and it is wonderful and changeable but has no direction; there is essence in the dark, but it is still and luminous; it is too mysterious and boundless, so it remains quiet in the void. This is called great..."

Above the Great Wall of China, on a white cloud that is more than ten miles in size, Ancestor Jingxu of Xiaoyao Sect is sitting cross-legged in the clouds, preaching the method of keeping silence unhurriedly.

At this time, a group of Golden Elixir Masters and Foundation Establishment cultivators below him listened with rapt attention.

Zhao Sheng sat at the front of the crowd, seemingly listening attentively to morality. In fact, he only had one consciousness, while the other consciousnesses were thinking and deducing the three immortal cultivation techniques on their own.

Benefiting from the alliance's "generous" actions, the Zhao family also reaped a lot of benefits. Only the Golden elixir-level immortal cultivation techniques were exchanged for three in one go, namely "Yimu Shentian Kung Fu", "Qifeng Dafa" and the most rare "The Magic-Repelling Thunder Technique".

In this way, the Zhao family has not only collected the seven golden elixir-level exercises of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder, but also has half-step god-level exercises such as "Tai Qing Nine Yang Gong".

However, only Zhao Sheng can practice "Tai Qing Nine Yang Kung" for the time being, so recently, Zhao Xuanjing and Zhao Sheng have been secretly planning to exchange for a high-level technique at the Yuan Ying level.

In recent days, things have finally made a breakthrough. Zhao Xuanjing was busy working on this matter, and Zhao Sheng had nothing to do, so he came here to listen to the ancestor's sermon.

Two hours later, Ancestor Jingxu floated away, and the preaching ceremony ended.

The others fled away one after another, and Zhao Sheng also opened his eyes and rose into the air, about to leave this place.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "Fellow Daoist Zhao, please stay!"

Zhao Sheng stopped and looked back, only to see a thin old Taoist wearing a feather coat and walking on blue clouds flying over with a smile.

"It turns out it's the head of Yu Fuzi, what are you calling me for?"

The thin old Taoist was Zhao Sheng's "neighbor", and his sect, Yu Xuanzong, happened to be stationed on the left side of the Xinglong Army, and the two families were right next to each other.

Upon hearing Zhao Sheng's inquiry, Yu Fuzi was not busy talking about business, but smiled. "Fellow Daoist Zhao, you must have gained a lot from listening to the ancestor's words today, right?"

"Well, it's a worthwhile trip!" Zhao Sheng nodded in agreement.

Yu Fuzi added: "Pindao heard that fellow Taoist Zhao has been inquiring about the "Xiaoyao Ten Thousand Formations Picture" recently.

To be honest, fellow Taoist, my ancestor, Yuxuan Sect, was born in Xiaoyao Sect, so our sect has always been very close to Xiaoyao Sect, and we also have certain connections in Xiaoyao Sect. "

Having said this, Yu Fuzi suddenly smiled and stopped talking.

Zhao Sheng immediately understood and immediately sent a message back with his spiritual consciousness: "Master Jade, we might as well find a place to have a detailed chat."

"As you wish, please!" Yu Fuzi stretched out his hand and said with a smile.
