Ascension Through Generations

The next second, Bao Ai felt like the world was spinning.

He secretly screamed, and was about to muster up his spiritual power to resist, but his heart suddenly became cold.

Because at this moment, he didn't have any strength in his body, and the spiritual power in his dantian was so lifeless that he couldn't even mobilize the slightest bit.

Bao'ai suddenly changed color, and his body collapsed to the ground uncontrollably.

"Baby! What do you mean by this? Give me the antidote quickly, otherwise if you are caught by the patrol in black, my master and my apprentice will definitely die!" An ugly smile appeared on Bao'an's face, and his tone was gentle. coaxed.

He never expected that his beloved disciple would bite back hard at this moment. This bite was so sure and so cruel that it could kill someone!

"You shouldn't take my things carelessly."

Saying that, Zhao Sheng smiled softly, waved his hand, and the big penetrating bone nail shot out, swishing into Bao Ai's body's major points, especially the Dantian Qi sea, which was immediately pierced, and he immediately gave up any thought of resistance.

"You evil beast! My teacher actually accepted you, a pig and a dog like you. Woohoo!" Bao'ai cursed loudly, but before he could finish speaking, a wisp of black lightning flew over and blinded his vocal cords.

"Bao Ai, Bao Ai! If it weren't for your bad intentions, I wouldn't want to be a disciple who kills my master. After all, you have protected me for more than ten years. It's a pity that you actually want my life. Transplant heart marrow to extend my life? Huh, what a waste. You idiot can figure it out!"

Zhao Sheng walked up to Bao Ai, squatted down, and looked at him calmly.

"When did you give me the poison? Why didn't I know it?" Bao'ai immediately sent a message from his spiritual mind, trying to delay time while constantly stimulating the spiritual power in his body.

"You'd better be a fool and die!"

Seeing Bao'an's face suddenly turn gray and desperate, Zhao Sheng stretched out his right hand and knocked him out with a palm.

Then, Zhao Sheng picked up Baonai's body with one hand and slowly closed his eyes.

In the darkness, hundreds of bloody light spots within a radius of fifteen miles suddenly appeared in his mind.

With a thought in his mind, Zhao Sheng's figure suddenly turned into nothingness.

Thirteen miles away in a puddle, Zhao Sheng appeared in a flash.

After a pause, he suddenly disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was already in a peach forest more than 20 miles away from Qingyang Mountain.

Whoosh!

Zhao Sheng didn't stop for a moment and moved away again.

After moving several times in succession, in just a few breaths, Zhao Shengren appeared on the edge of a large river three hundred miles away.

The name of this big river is Gu Cang River. The water is flowing continuously and the surface of the river is so wide that you can't see the edge at a glance.

This river stretches for eight thousand miles, not only crossing the entire Diancang Province, but also connecting many provincial capitals downstream. It can also be regarded as the main water vein in the southwest territory of the Dagu Dynasty.

The escape route he had deliberately created to escape had now come in handy.

With a snap, Zhao Sheng stretched out his hand and broke Bao'an's neck, then searched his whole body and found four or five Nakong Seals in a row.

With a wave of his hand, streams of red flames surged out, engulfing Bao'ai's corpse, and soon burned it into a ball of ashes.

After scattering all the ashes into the river, Zhao Sheng clapped his hands and his figure turned into nothingness.

In the blink of an eye, he was back at the foot of Qingyang Mountain.

Zhao Sheng randomly found a remote corner and sealed the Nakong Seal underground.

To be careful, he will not touch these things for a while until everything is over.

After his body disintegrated, Zhao Sheng moved back to his cave and quickly fell asleep peacefully.

The next day, the sky was covered with dark clouds and the air was filled with thick water vapor, as if a heavy rain was about to pour down.

Boom!

As bursts of dull thunder gradually approached Qingyang Mountain from the horizon, the Anhun Temple suddenly became panicked.

"The priest of Bao'ai Temple is not in the dormitory, he seems to be missing!"

This rumor spread throughout the temple like a hurricane.

But soon,

Rumors turned into solid facts!

From morning to dusk, the deputy director of the Inspection Institute led a patrol in black, searching the inside and outside of the Requiem Temple. However, Bao Ai seemed to have evaporated, disappearing without a trace. Leave a few words behind.

This was good news. Rumors that Bao Ai was on the run in fear of crime suddenly started to spread.

All the people on Baonai's side in the Anhun Temple were instantly panicked. Most people immediately found a way out and jumped off Baonai's broken ship.

The so-called hozens scatter when a tree falls, but that’s all!

At the end of the day, Zhao Sheng gave an actor-level performance. He was calm at first, and then after learning that his master was missing, he tried his best to calm down and came out to comfort people. After confirming that the person had disappeared, his expression turned to panic. In the end, his face became full of despair, and he played a disciple who was abandoned by his master vividly and deeply.

No one could imagine that a 16-year-old boy who was just in the middle stage of Qi refining could quietly kill a Foundation Establishment temple priest.

Yes, the realm Zhao Sheng showed to the outside world was only the sixth level of Qi refining, not the Great Perfection of Qi refining.

For the former ancestor of Nascent Soul, practicing a Qi Condensation Technique to hide part of his strength was nothing more than a basic operation.

For the next three days, Zhao Sheng stayed behind closed doors, and his front door became extremely deserted, with few people daring to come to the door.

Once there is no obstacle from Bao'an, the deficit and fraud in Anhun Temple can finally be concealed.

In just three days, all important places such as the temple's warehouse, accounting room, and spiritual objects room were inspected.

In this way, against the background of Bao Ai's absconding in fear of crime, a major debt case that shocked the entire Cangnan Mansion was unexpectedly exposed.

Although this scandal only spread for two days, it was suppressed by the senior officials of the temple.

However, all the well-informed forces in Cangnan Mansion and even Diancang Province had some information.

Everyone who knew the inside story was dumbfounded by Bao Ai's audacity.

When this person lived in the temple for less than twenty years, the deficit caused by the Anhun Temple over the years amounted to more than 600,000 spiritual stones. The numerous elixirs, minerals and treasures indirectly swallowed up cannot be calculated using spiritual stones. It can be simply estimated. At least 500,000 spiritual stones.

The Anhun Temple seems to be prosperous, but in fact, it has only a piece of skin left, which can be broken with a poke!

On the fourth day after Bao'ai's disappearance, the superior provincial temple suddenly sent a letter of inquiry to Lingchuan Temple, asking the Anhun Temple for the Taoist jade book enshrined in Bao'ai's sudden collapse a few days ago. What was the reason for its fall? The temple will reply as soon as possible!

When the Cangnan Prefecture's temple priest and Jindan chief priest Changfa Zhenren learned of Bao'an Qi's strange death, he was furious about the matter. After discussing with the three capitals and five masters in the temple, he immediately issued a series of edicts.

All the forces in Cangnan Mansion, both openly and secretly, were mobilized at once, and countless people tried their best to search for the whereabouts of Bao Ai.

At the same time, Anhun Temple ushered in some major personnel changes. Yuan Yang took over the position of temple priest and concurrently served as the capital. The other two, both old, all resigned from their posts and retired.

As for the five masters, except for Huazhu who was lucky enough to stay in office, the other four masters were either demoted to civilians or exiled to other places. In short, it was Yaotian's luck that they were not sent to the divine prison.

The remaining thirteen temple heads were regarded as scapegoats, and all were sent to the divine prison and became criminals.

After this incident, all the factions in the Requiem Temple were wiped out, and a group of new people quickly landed in the temple to fill the vacancies in the temple.

Adhering to the principle that "family scandals should not be publicized", Lingchuan Temple swallowed the bitter pill by pinching its nose, and the Bao'ai incident ended quickly with heavy thunder and little rain.

In just two months, the Requiem Temple returned to its former peace.

But at this time, things in the temple have changed, and Zhao Sheng has gone from a famous senior brother to a transparent person that everyone avoids.

Although after rounds of investigations, no substantive evidence of guilt was found, and he was not involved in any corruption or fraud. He was always as "innocent" as a green onion, but he could not escape the reputation of a criminal disciple.

So, when Taoist boys of the same age went down the mountain and went home one after another, and those who were admitted to Taoism were transferred to official Taoist priests, and went to serve in various county temples, Zhao Sheng was still ignored, as if he had been completely forgotten. .

In addition, what made him feel a little strange was that his cave was not taken back by the temple, and no one came to drive him away.

Even the "big winner" Yuan Yang came to see him twice. His attitude towards him was very gentle, his words were full of concern, and there seemed to be no malice at all.

Zhao Sheng observed that Yuanyang had a kind face but a cruel heart, and he was very deep in the city. He had achieved the ultimate in superficial skills. No wonder Bao Ai was careless for a while and lost everything!

In this way, he was hung up without any explanation. No one cared about him and no one dared to approach him.

It wasn't until a transfer order was delivered to him that Zhao Sheng came to his senses after reading the content of the transfer order.

It turns out that being an orphan is not entirely without its benefits.

There is a special institution in Tiandao Sect called Enyangyuan. This institution has branches all over the Gutian Dynasty. All the orphans adopted in the institution are orphans without fathers and mothers. Of course, orphans with spiritual roots like Zhao Sheng are indispensable among them.

In a sense, Zhao Sheng can fully be called "Gen Zheng Miao Hong", plus he has the superior qualification of dual spiritual roots...

When the order to be transferred to the temple was received, Zhao Sheng quickly figured out all the truth.

The Hell Temple is another special institution of Tiandao Religion. Its function is very similar to a mortal prison. It is specially used to hold some extraordinary criminal prisoners who are inconvenient to be executed.

Because of the special status and nature of the Prison Temple, the requirements for prison guards are extremely high and the selection range is extremely narrow.

A clean life is the first priority, and more importantly, loyalty to the Tiandao religion. It is best to have simple interpersonal relationships, and it is best to be an orphan with no worries.

Originally, with Zhao Sheng's qualifications, he didn't have to go to the Prison Temple, but who allowed him to have a master who "flees in fear of crime".

As a result, this unlucky child quickly fell into the eyes of the senior officials of the Prison Temple, and they naturally issued this transfer order.

…

When Zhao Sheng opened his eyes again, he found that above his head were blocks of Yangang rock walls emitting a faint golden light, and he was lying on a hard stone bed.

There were sounds of snoring coming and going, and there was more than one person lying next to him.

There was a faint sound of crying and howling coming from the ground, which seemed to be mixed with a muffled banging sound, and the bed surface shook faintly.

Zhao Sheng lay motionless on the bed, his mind gradually falling into memories.

As soon as the transfer order came that day, he was accompanied by two mysterious prison guards covered in black armor and boarded a dark flying saucer.

The flying saucer flew all the way north, and actually flew all the way to Chuguo City, the provincial capital of Diangcang Province, and then landed in the temple city outside the city.

Then, the majestic Taoist temples and palaces...the cold prison guards...the cramped and dull underground...hundreds of cages, and a cold code name: Ding Jiuwu.

As a prison guard such as Ding, Zhao Sheng lived in a five-person Datongbu, which naturally meant monitoring each other.

The area of ​​​​the five-person Datongbu is not small. It has a training room, a quiet room, an alchemy room, etc., and it is completely built according to the cave.

But the place to sleep was only a long stone bed.

"The prison restrictions in the Prison Temple are too strict. They treat the internal guards as prisoners." Zhao Sheng thought secretly in his heart.

The prison of the Hell Temple has two types of guards: inner guards and outer guards. The inner guards only have one chance to go out for a break every year. On weekdays, except for prisoners and outer guards, they are not allowed to contact outsiders at all.

The reason for being so strict is that they are afraid that prison guards will collude with others and deliberately let prisoners go. Because riots have occurred frequently in the Divine Prison since ancient times, prisoners have successfully escaped from the prison many times, eventually causing many major disasters.

Just as he was thinking this, a pale old face suddenly stretched out in front of him, revealing a row of sharp white teeth when he smiled.

"Brother, it's almost time for shift change. Get up quickly, or the prison captain will have to scold you again."

The person who spoke was Ding Eryi, whose real name was Qi Peng. He was considered an old man in this Datong shop, and he was also the closest to Zhao Sheng.

"Um!"

Zhao Sheng nodded and sat up from the bed.

Adhering to the idea that newcomers should talk less and listen more, Zhao Sheng followed the other four people out of Datongpu, walked a long way along the dark corridor, and came to the changing room.

At this time, a burly and ugly man over ten feet tall with a green face and fangs stood at the door of Room A.

Zhao Sheng glanced at him,

Well, he is a member of the Gui Chi clan, probably at the foundation-building level, and his strength is so-so!

This ugly man is the prison captain of this level of the divine prison. He has twenty teams of prison guards, a total of about eighty people, most of them are D class, there are very few C class, and there is no B class at all.

When Zhao Sheng first arrived, he heard from the old man that the Divine Prison had suffered a major disaster recently, and most of the prison guards died.

So I had to add a lot of newbies.

After entering Room A, Zhao Sheng quickly put on a red armor, followed the others out, and stood in the third row.

The Divine Prison has many floors, but they are all built dozens of feet underground, so the view is dim and the air is always stuffy and smells bad.

Soon after, more than twenty red-armored prison guards were divided into five rows and stood neatly in front of Xiao Moruo.

Xiao Moruo's blood-red ghost eyes slowly scanned everyone, and his voice was low and sinister: "Today, Ding Siliu died!"

Everyone was silent and looked frightened.

"Do you know how people die?" Xiao Moruo's face turned darker and darker, as if an evil ghost was alive.

"Idiot! I have repeatedly warned you not to have any contact with the prisoners. Don't listen to even a word of their nonsense. Some people are always smart and think they can get benefits, but in fact they are extremely stupid! This year, I don't want to see the next idiot! I know. Are you done?" The prison officer was so angry that he roared at everyone.

Zhao Sheng felt a chill in his heart when he heard this. The prison seemed quite dangerous, and death seemed to happen all the time.

"I know." Everyone shouted back.

Xiao Moruo's anger subsided a little and began to arrange shift tasks.

"Platoon one, inspecting the first level of prison."

"Second row, second level of prison."

"Third row, third level of prison."
