Ascension Through Generations

In the palace, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

The dragon-headed "godman" asked sternly: "Tell me, how did the snake god die in the prison?"

"I really don't know. When I broke into the cell, the heart of the snake god had been dug out, and he died on the spot. It should have been killed by the Sky Rat Demon." The fat man said weakly with a face full of despair. .

By this time, he had realized that he would never be spared, and he couldn't help but feel despair.

Hearing this, the God of Jiaohu Lake sternly said: "Nonsense! You haven't summoned me from the truth. Dunkong Shu was sent by the God to rescue the Snake God, so how could he kill him? Even when he was about to die, he still refused to tell the truth. Come on, pull him." Go down and serve him with severe punishment."

"Wait!" The tiger-headed "god man" next to him suddenly stopped him: "How many of you were present at the time? Who was responsible for interrogating the snake god?"

The fat man's eyes were confused, and he slowly recalled: "The ban in prison was triggered at that time. I rushed to the scene. Lengsha and Sanbao were present at that time, and two more people came later. At that time, Sanbao was in charge of the interrogation. Yes, that’s him.”

The Jiao Lake God immediately asked: "Which are the three treasures? Tell me carefully immediately."

"Sambo is a..."

Two quarters of an hour later, a body covered in bruises was dragged out, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.

The three "gods" of Jiao, Tiger and Fish were talking to each other indifferently.

"It seems that it was the work of the Three Treasures. The divine authority must be in his hands. What a frame-up! If it weren't for our people in the Hell Temple, we would have almost been fooled by a little jailer." Yu Yu. The head god said happily.

"Hmph, how can a mere jailor spy on such treasures? This is simply asking for death!"

"The Divine Prison is heavily defended. I can't send anyone in. I can only wait patiently until he comes out to let loose, and then I can capture him."

"Once you get something, how do you divide it up?"

"It's better to divide it into three equal parts. Although this bit of divinity is worse than nothing, it can also be regarded as a little supplement to our authority priesthood."

"Then how can we explain to the great gods above? Aren't we afraid that the master will use this excuse to devour the three of us?"

The three "gods" of Jiaohuyu accidentally obtained some fragments of heaven. After refining, they successfully transformed into gods and gained some authority to control the power of heaven and earth.

However, the three of them are only small wandering gods according to their levels, and their strength is so-so. Outside their own territory, they are almost the same as foundation-building monks.

There are many gods in the Youshen Realm, and they are divided according to the level of their divine power. They can be divided into five categories: Mao Shen, Wandering God, Ghost God, Zhengshen and Emperor.

The level of a god is not judged by strength, but mainly by its own divine authority.

For example, the Ear Reporter God has very low strength, but with the added power of nature, he should be regarded as a third-level ghost and god in terms of personality. You must know that most of the other ghosts and gods are more tyrannical than the main priest of Jindan, but they are the gods of revenge. Although the wind god boy and a few other little ones have the status of righteous gods, their strength is not worth mentioning.

"What are you afraid of? The guild leader and the emperor are busy with the major matter of forming an alliance with the three parties of the Defying Heaven Alliance and the Earth Mother Cult. At this time, they simply cannot spare the time to pay attention to this small matter in Cang Province."

"The two superpowers of Tiandao Sect and Black Sky Sect are now showing signs of joining forces again in order to pacify Wanyao Continent. With most of the main force of Tiandao Sect being mobilized, it is normal for the emperors to make some big noise. After all, the power of Tiandao is limited and cannot be disputed. If you don't grab it, where can you get the opportunity for relief?"

"Alas, life is getting harder and harder now. The speed of disintegration of heaven and earth in this world has accelerated significantly. If we hadn't worked hard to maintain the order of heaven and earth, this world would have collapsed into chaos long ago."

"Let's not talk about this disappointing topic. Even if this world is close to the "empty" stage, there are still tens of thousands of years before the extinction of all living things. By then, we can't even decide whether we will exist or not, so why are we thinking so far away!

Now let's look at the immediate situation first. The most important thing is to catch the troublesome jailer as soon as possible. "

"The God of Jiao Lake makes sense!"

…

While the three wandering gods were secretly planning an arrest, the protagonist of the incident, Zhao Sheng, was in a quiet room, concentrating on reading a notebook from the past.

After several years of continuous reading of a large number of autobiographies, essays and other writings of the ancestors of the Gu family. Zhao Sheng gradually began to have some speculations about the development and final outcome of the war between the two worlds.

However, due to unknown reasons, the ancestors of the Gu family seemed to have intentionally erased the records of the war between the two worlds, and such major events are rarely mentioned in the book.

Some of them are just fragments or ambiguous words, so that Zhao Sheng still knows very little about the war between the two worlds.

The Pope of the Gui Chi Clan was enthroned more than 1,100 years ago, which also meant that the war between the two worlds ended at that time at the latest.

In fact, that war ended earlier, probably between 1,300 and 1,200 years ago.

The space-time rift should be deep in the Corpse Abyss.

Corpse Abyss was born more than 10,000 years ago, coinciding with the beginning of the first war between the two worlds.

During the Second World War, about 1,300 years ago, a large number of floating temples in the Tiandao Sect disappeared inexplicably deep into the Corpse Abyss.

The Tiandao Sect claimed that a large number of floating temples were lost because of the army's conquest of Corpse Abyss.

After seeing this record, Zhao Sheng instantly realized that the corpse abyss was where the rift in time and space was.

There is a high probability that both the Tianzhu Realm and the Netherworld Ghost Realm (Netherworld Realm) will suffer losses.

Because nearly a hundred years before the start of the seventh era of the Tiandao Calendar, it was a troubled autumn, the world was in turmoil and chaos, dragons and snakes were rising, blood was flowing, and human lives were like grass.

In the past hundred years, due to the great decline of the power of Tiandaoism, the Dagu court had not yet established its authority.

All over the world, countless rebellions in the name of gods are rising and falling one after another. Among them, the most powerful one, the "Tiantian Change", almost destroyed the Tiandao Sect as well.

During the Incident, the previous leader of the Ghosts and Gods Association, Emperor Banshan, led a group of ghosts and gods to suddenly kill Chongdao Peak, the main altar of Tiantao Sect.

The Tiandao Sect was unprepared for a moment, and was unexpectedly broken through the mountain defense formation by internal and external cooperation. The followers were killed and retreated, and blood flowed like a river.

The situation was critical at that time, and the Ghost Chi Pope had to carry his seriously wounded body out of seclusion to meet the enemy. Finally, he activated the secrets of suppressing the religion at great cost and destroyed most of the enemies. The remaining ghosts and gods were frightened and fled down the mountain.

What a huge change, both the Tiandao Pope and the Banshan Emperor were killed at the same time. There were more than two people, and the number of casualties was immeasurable.

Due to the heavy losses among Tiandao sect members, they had to take the initiative to shrink their sphere of influence and were unable to interfere with the general trend of the world.

Only then did Great Gu Gaozu take advantage of the situation, and with the help of the material and manpower of the Tiandao Sect, he spent nearly a hundred years quelling numerous rebellions and suppressing all dissatisfaction, and finally founded the Great Gu Celestial Dynasty.

The establishment of the Da Gu Tian Dynasty was actually the product of compromise.

Because of the decline in power, Tiandao Sect could not retreat behind the scenes and indirectly "rule" the entire continent through the Dagu court.

In addition, after reading a large number of books and jade slips from that time period, Zhao Sheng also noticed a lot of things that were wrong.

One thousand three hundred to two hundred years ago, Tiandao Sect suffered two serious losses in succession.

One was a war to conquer the Corpse Abyss, which ended with heavy casualties and the army retreated from the Corpse Abyss.

The other time was because of the disaster of Centizhou Lushen.

Also more than 1,200 years ago, the Tiandao Sect suddenly mobilized most of its backbone forces to go to a small continent called Centipede.

There are very few records after that, and it is unknown what major changes occurred in the middle.

One day decades later, Centipede suddenly collapsed, and the entire continent sank into the sea in a very short time. Hundreds of millions of creatures on the land were buried in the belly of fish, and only monks and a handful of mortals escaped.

Through various clues collected, Zhao Sheng was surprised to find that a large number of slaves in the city of Chu migrated here from Shunzhou, including Zhao Xiuchan, the ancestor of Zhao Hongyun's tribe!

Zhao Sheng carefully recalled all the information and secretly guessed: "It seems that the war between the two worlds does not only occur in Corpse Abyss?"

After all, there are too few records in Zhenlang Pavilion. If you want to know all the truth, you must go to the Tiandao Sect General Forum in the future.

As for Corpse Abyss, that ghost place is one of the most dangerous places in the mainland. It is best not to even think about it before being promoted to Jindan.

At this time, Zhao Sheng's ears twitched, and a conversation in his ears attracted his attention.

"Haha! This must be Fellow Daoist Li who survived the catastrophe! I am Zhao Zhongque, now the deacon elder of Fulong Province of the Defying Heaven Alliance. Fellow Daoist Li has worked hard these past few years!

"For the sake of the great cause of righteousness, Li has long downplayed life and death, not to mention hard work. Speaking of hard work, the colleagues in Fulong Province are the ones who really work hard and have great achievements. I heard that they have successfully instigated a high-level official in the Fulong Province temple. How did you do it? Did you do it? Li is really curious!"

"The inside story of this matter is complicated. We might as well discuss it in detail after we get inside."

"Okay! Fellow Daoist Zhao, please come in."

Hearing this, Zhao Sheng suddenly had an idea and thought, so he counted on his fingers.

"Fengxian Mingrenzong, Quanzhen and Taihe. Be sincere and proclaim the Yudian, Zhongyangjinke. Chongxuantonghanyun, Gaohongdingdaluo, morality plays the role of Tsinghua University, and cultivating immortality prizes immortality."

The Zhao family has a generation period of sixty years.

Counting from the beginning of Zhao Xiuchan, the five generations of "cultivating immortality will lead to immortality" lasted three hundred years.

The Zi generation cycle reaches the second round, from Feng Zi generation to Dian Zi generation, there are fifteen generations in total, which is nine hundred years in total.

Three hundred plus nine hundred is exactly one thousand two hundred years.

It’s not like I don’t know, that’s all. Zhao Sheng's heart was shaken.

"Zhao Zhongquan's generation? Could it be that."

Over the past six or seven years since the God of Ears took root in the Anti-Tian Alliance stronghold and eavesdropped, although Zhao Sheng did not go to specifically inquire about it, he also heard a lot of inside information.

The Anti-Tian Alliance was originally composed of the remnants of many sects and families who were destroyed by the Tiandao Sect. Later, they were joined by countless wild cultivators who were unwilling to endure control and exploitation.

As the power of the Heaven-defying Alliance grew, many powerful and ambitious people also took the initiative to join the alliance.

After the seventh era of the Tian Dao Calendar began, a large number of new forces suddenly joined the Heaven Defying Alliance. Among them are many names that Zhao Sheng is very familiar with, such as Haoran Zong

Of course, Haoran Sect has already changed its face in the Youshen Realm, and now has a new name called Fengying Sect.

Now that Zhao Sheng thought about it, it was no wonder that the short-bearded veteran looked absolutely desperate after being called out.

In addition to the Haoran Sect, he also discovered figures who were suspected to be disciples of the Danding Sect.

He was a young man with a cold voice, but his words revealed a closeness to the short-bearded old Taoist, and he mentioned things related to alchemy many times.

During a certain secret investigation, Zhao Sheng saw some characteristics of the Danding Sect's unique method of refining elixirs.

Just as he was thinking secretly, the Ear Reporter heard the movement from the other side in time.

Zhao Sheng immediately listened carefully.

…

After about an hour, he suddenly stood up from the futon, waved his hand to disperse the barrier, walked a few steps to the door, opened the door and walked out of the quiet room.

Arriving at the prison cafeteria, all the prison guards just saw Zhao Sheng appear, and they all stood up and greeted him warmly.

Zhao Sheng, however, had a cold attitude and just nodded to these people.

Everyone paid no attention to this and quickly sat down to continue eating meat and drinking wine.

Zhao Sheng passed through two rows of tables and came to the table of a giant man wearing armor.

After sitting down alone, he suddenly heard a message: "Wei Tou, have you thought clearly these days? Do you agree or not?"

The giant man's real name is Wei Chong. Although he is a mortal, as a great master of spiritual communication, his strength is one of the best among all the prison guards, not much worse than the new prison captain Ren Zhong.

"The rules in the prison are strict. The seventeenth and eighteenth floors of the prison are all super felons. I took you into the cell privately, which is a capital crime!" the giant man said back hesitantly.

When Zhao Sheng heard this, he couldn't help but sneered: "Come on! Whether the rules are strict or not is for outsiders to see. In recent years, many of us have violated prison rules, and none of them is a capital crime! But you really Have you ever seen anyone killed because of this? At worst, give the prison captain a big gift, and then give him a small punishment or a big warning."

"These and these cannot be equated!" The giant man wanted to say again, but was suddenly interrupted by Zhao Sheng: "Wei Tou, you really want to die in prison, do you not want to be transferred out?

You must know that you are over 90 years old, if you don't go out and make connections in time. After twenty or thirty years, your family will definitely fall apart after your death. "

"this"

"The things have been prepared for you! It's just a convenience for you. When I'm on patrol, I promise not to get into trouble, and I will never have any contact with prisoners."

While Zhao Sheng was talking, he forced a Nakong Seal into the giant man's hand, and at the same time expressed his position firmly.

"Okay! It's just this time, it won't happen next time!" The giant man nodded slowly after hearing this.

Wei Chong cared about his family after all, and finally lost to reality.

Seeing that the plan was about to succeed, Zhao Sheng suddenly showed a hearty and gentle smile on his face.

…

In the east city of Chu State City, Fu Renfang.

The earth and rocks in the strata more than 200 feet deep underground in Zhao Mansion have been hollowed out, forming a large cave nearly two miles long, wide and a hundred feet high.

There are densely packed bookshelves in the cave, filled with piles of jade slips, ancient books, secret volumes, and books.

Huh~huh~

From a remote and dark corner in the middle of the bookshelf, high and low purring sounds were coming from one after another.

At this moment, a figure suddenly emerged from the cave. Then Zhao Sheng walked out of the darkness.

The footsteps sounded together, and the snoring in the corner suddenly stopped.

The next moment, a white light suddenly shot out from the middle of the bookshelf, fell on Zhao Sheng's shoulder like lightning, and turned into a big white rat with snow-white fur, fluffy tail, red eyes and pink nose.
