Ascension Through Generations

Red lotuses bloomed in the quiet room, and the temperature soared. However, the wooden boards of the tables and chairs in the room were not damaged at all.

Karma fire is a type of heart fire and soul fire. It usually does not kill enemies with the power of flames, but often burns the soul directly.

The fire lotus disappeared in a blink of an eye, and Zhao Sheng's figure disappeared with it.

"No!" The old man with a short beard looked very ugly when he saw this. He immediately rushed out the door.

At the same time, in a secret room under the Dayang Temple, the ground suddenly sank, and an affable-looking old man emerged from the hole and landed on the floor next to him.

This person is none other than Zhao Zhongque

He is a Foundation Establishment Realm member of the Zhao family in Nantian. His strength and qualifications are not ranked among the family members.

Back then, in order to get a chance to advance to the Golden Elixir, Zhao Zhongque did not hesitate to sneak into the Nether God Realm and join the Heaven Defying Alliance to lurk.

This dormancy lasted for hundreds of years.

Zhao Zhongque is now one hundred and ninety years old, and he sees that his life span is approaching.

His biggest wish now is to return to his long-lost hometown before he dies. It is best to be buried in the family cemetery in Longshou Mountain after his death.

"It's a pity that the century-old door has been missed. It will be difficult to see the beautiful scenery of Xinglongyuan in this life." Zhao Zhongque looked slightly disappointed, and a faint sadness secretly emerged in his heart.

Bang bang bang!

There was a sudden knock on the door of the secret room. Zhao Zhongque's eyes sharpened and he looked at the door full of vigilance.

"who is it?"

As soon as the questioning subsided, the door to the secret room opened silently, and an ordinary old man walked in from the door.

"Who are you? Reveal your identity quickly, otherwise you won't blame me for being ruthless with my sword!"

When Zhao Zhongque saw this man, his expression became even more stern. With a flick of his right hand, a ray of silver light suddenly flew into the air and turned into a three-inch silver-white flying sword. The sword light flickered at the tip and was aimed at the old man's head.

Zhao Sheng smiled slightly, spread out one palm, and slowly stretched it out. In an instant, he saw a layer of blood suddenly appear on the palm of his hand.

Bloody light quickly filled the entire secret room like running water, covering Zhao Zhongque and Zhao Sheng.

In an instant, a throbbing originating from the depths of their blood appeared in their hearts at the same time.

Zhao Zhongque sensed this, and the vigilance on his face was greatly reduced, but there was still some vigilance left, and he couldn't help but probe: "Are you also a descendant of my Zhao family?! Which lineage do your ancestors come from?"

Zhao Sheng nodded and said loudly: "That's right! The ancestor of the old Zhao Beixuan is indeed from the Zhao family of Nantian. Thousands of years ago, my tribe unfortunately wandered into the Nether God Realm and wandered for nearly a thousand years. The tribe has long been scattered, and generations of fathers and grandfathers have been As a slave. If I hadn’t been born with spiritual roots and thus embarked on the path of spiritual cultivation by chance, I would have died in the underworld long ago.”

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, you came too suddenly, and I was unprepared. May I ask if you came here to recognize your ancestors and return to the clan?" Zhao Zhongque asked cautiously.

Zhao Sheng stepped into the secret room and shook his head at the same time: "It's too early to recognize your ancestors and return to your clan. I'm not here for this, but to remind you."

Hearing what he said, Zhao Zhongque felt a little confused. Just as he was about to ask again, he saw a Huan Zhen Talisman flying over from the opposite side.

"Just take a look at this and then talk."

Zhao Zhongque stretched out his hand and the Illusion True Talisman fell into his hand. Spiritual power poured into the talisman, and a three-dimensional picture appeared in the secret room.

In the picture, Zhao Zhongque and a handsome and feminine young man are talking, and their facial features are vivid and lifelike.

Zhao Zhongque only glanced at it and was shocked. He said in shock: "Where did you get this content?"

"Source of information, you——"

After Zhao Sheng said a few words, he suddenly stopped talking, while Zhao Zhongque's eyes moved and he turned to the door.

At this moment, a green light flashed at the door of the secret room, and the short-bearded old man suddenly appeared there.

As soon as he saw the situation in the room, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly asked Zhao Zhongque: "Elder Zhao, you're fine."

In the Anti-Tian Alliance, Zhao Zhongque's identity is a bit special because he was born in the Zhao family of Nantian.

The Nantian Zhao family was one of the top forces behind the scenes that supported the Defiant Alliance's repeated reconstruction.

The short-bearded old Taoist was born in the Haoran Sect, so he naturally knew very well how famous and powerful the Nantian Zhao family was in the Tianzhu world.

When Zhao Sheng saw someone coming, he decided to keep the story short and immediately said to Zhao Zhongque: "You have been targeted by people from the Wang family in the capital city. Here is the information about the person coming. Take it and take a look."

Having said this, Zhao Sheng raised his cuffs, and a thumb-sized crystal bead flew out, and was then grabbed by Zhao Zhongque.

"I'll come looking for you again in the future. I'm done with today, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, a ball of red fire lotus rose into the sky from his feet, covering Zhao Sheng's body and blocking their sight.

A flash of light flashed in Zhao Zhongque's eyes, and his foundation-building consciousness spread out from between his eyebrows. However, when he encountered the red fire, his consciousness was instantly wiped out.

Suddenly, the fire lotus dispersed, and the person was gone.

Zhao Zhongque's eyes showed a look of shock, and he exclaimed: "Yehuo Honglian?! This person is actually a traitor to the Tiandao Sect."

Having said that, he had some hope for the visitor.

"That's right! Xiaodao just wanted to remind Elder Zhao, but the thief slipped away too fast." The short-bearded old Taoist agreed.

After speaking, he added: "Elder Zhao, this stronghold is no longer safe. Otherwise, let's move to another place! Otherwise, once someone comes to the door, there will be heavy casualties."

Zhao Zhongque thought for a moment and nodded: "You are right. Recently, a batch of important materials and several important people in the alliance need to be transferred through Chuguo City. To avoid accidents, this stronghold is temporarily unusable. According to The alliance's emergency plan immediately activated the backup stronghold. Other personnel withdrew in batches and dispersed to the prefectures below to lurk secretly, waiting for the signal to be reawakened in the future."

"Elder Zhao has arranged it very well. Pindao will go and do it now."

As he spoke, the short-bearded old Taoist turned into a ray of green light and disappeared into the underground secret passage in an instant.

In the secret room, Zhao Zhongque remained silent as his spiritual consciousness penetrated into the crystal bead. In an instant, a picture and several pieces of information poured into his mind at the same time.

Li Jing of the Wang family is a spy of Supervisor Tiansi and has signed a soul contract. Transmission method

…

After reminding Zhao Zhongque, Zhao Sheng returned to Zhao Mansion to show his face, and at the same time gave Zhao Hongyun some pointers.

With his on-demand training as a spiritual martial artist, Zhao Hongyun's martial arts cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. He has only been practicing martial arts for three years, and his inner energy has already entered the hall.

If his body has not yet fully grown, his strength will not be inferior to that of a top-notch player.

In the past few years, thanks to the secret protection of Zhao Sheng, the lives of the Zhao Xing and Zhao Tai families have become more and more prosperous, and the Zhao family's business has also been booming.

A few years ago, the Wamu Gang that he had built was also expanding in power. Several urban gangs and a large number of gangsters had already volunteered to join the gang, and its sphere of influence encompassed the entire Wamu Fang and seven or eight surrounding streets.

Gang leader Wamu and several guardian elders are all innate warriors, and two monks who are in the middle stage of Qi refining are secretly taking charge.

These two casual cultivators were both subdued by Zhao Sheng. He only showed a little bit of spiritual consciousness, and then handed over two foundation-level dual cultivation techniques, which made the two of them sincerely convinced of him.

With the protection of the Wamu Gang, even if Zhao Sheng does not show up, he does not need to worry about the safety of the Zhao family.

After showing up, Zhao Sheng ordered his servants to leave and went into the bedroom to rest alone.

It is said to be a rest, but in fact the person has returned to the divine prison.

On this day, it was Zhao Sheng's turn to patrol the sixteenth floor of the prison, and he was assigned a cell at the same time.

The restrictive barrier cracked, and the double-layered prison doors opened one by one. Zhao Sheng, wearing black armor and holding a soul-beating whip, stepped in.

Upon entering, the cell seemed cramped, and a majestic body as big as a mammoth in the depths of the cell took up most of the space.

The prisoner's body is covered with dense golden hair, his head is as big as a pot bucket, with a bloody mouth on it, his nose is as bulging as a lion's nose, his eyes are as big as copper bells and shine fiercely, his blond hair is fluffy and fluffy, and his whole person is like a head. The lion is fierce and wild.

Even though he was in the death row of God's Prison, even though his body was covered with marrow-sucking nails, this flirtation still showed a sense of rebelliousness.

"Jie Jie, finally someone is here again. I am impatient to wait. Give me a few whips to relieve the itch. These broken nails are sucking my whole body."

Zhao Sheng ignored the man's nonsense, walked up to him in a few steps, reached out and pulled out a marrow-sucking nail.

"Haha, it's so good! If you pull out a few more roots, I will be able to relax quickly."

Zhao Sheng took out a porcelain bottle, stretched the nail head of the marrow-suction nail out of the bottle, and poured spiritual power into the magic weapon. The nail head quickly condensed a drop of bright red marrow blood like a crystal diamond, and dripped into the bottom of the bottle.

He inserted the marrow-suction nail back into the prisoner's body, pulled out the other one, and repeated the same procedure.

Not long after, there was half a bottle of crystal marrow blood in the bottle.

During the blood collection, this third-level divine disciple, who looked like a golden-haired lion king, went from arrogant to yelling in pain, then screamed in agony, and finally lost his breath and lost his initial arrogance.

Zhao Sheng took back the blood bottle and added several bottles of colorful elixirs in his hand.

Without caring about the prisoner's life or death, he forced several bottles of pills into the prisoner's mouth, then tapped several acupuncture points, forcing the prisoner to swallow them.

"Uuuu, when I get out, I will cut you into pieces. Emperor Samantabhadra, save me!"

The prisoner's face was full of ferocity, and he suddenly roared loudly. His body struggled hard, causing the chains all over his body to vibrate, and a dazzling electric light suddenly bloomed.

Zizzi!

The smell of meat paste quickly filled the cell, but this third-level divine disciple, known as the "Golden Lion King", seemed completely unaware. His huge body was struggling and shaking violently, and the force of his body alone actually caused a stream of air turbulence. .

"Hey, you're very energetic! Come on, I'll give you a new set meal." Zhao Sheng teased, then he pinched the magic formula with both hands, and a series of spiritual lights flew out one after another and disappeared into the body of the animal.

In an instant, the Golden Lion King stiffened and suddenly lost consciousness, and then a fist-sized bulge gradually formed between his eyebrows.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng stopped what he was doing, and then took out a black egg as big as a sesame seed from the Nakong Seal.

He stretched out his hand and made a cut on the bulge, and blood spurted out.

Zhao Sheng flicked his finger, and the black egg lightning disappeared from the blood hole into the bulge.

He casually released a rejuvenation spell to heal the wound.

At this time, the bulge was visibly reduced. In the blink of an eye, the prisoner's chest returned to normal, but his blond hair had turned white, making him look much older.

The black eggs are the eggs of ghost Gu, and there are more than just these. Zhao Sheng directly bought the entire ghost Gu nest from the black market auction house.

Ghost Gu originates from ghosts and is a kind of strange Gu in the world of ghost gods. After this Gu is born, its body is between reality and life and death, and it is the most secretive.

The reason why Zhao Sheng secretly planted ghost poison on the Golden Lion King was due to his bold plan.

As for what the plan is? Everything has just begun at this time, let’s not mention it for now.

Go out, close the cell, and restart the barrier.

Zhao Sheng took the blood bottle, walked out of the cell in an elegant manner, and handed over the harvest to prison captain Ren Zhong.

There are only a few prisoners in the sixteenth floor of the prison, and each prison guard can only take care of one prisoner, which is still more than enough, so the work is very easy.

A shift lasts four hours in total, and prisoners cannot be "interrogated" every day. Therefore, most of the time, the guards of Abi Prison have to patrol back and forth in the middle of the prison corridor, which is extremely boring.

At this time, senior prison guards usually have some privileges and can sneak around.

As long as things are not delayed, the prison captain will often turn a blind eye.

Although Zhao Sheng is still relatively young, he is invincible among the prison guards in the Qi Refining Realm with his fists, and has also won the unique privileges of seniority.

In the world of immortality, the strong have been respected since ancient times, and this is no different in the Divine Prison!

…

Just like that, another half year passed.

With Zhao Sheng's reminder, Zhao Zhongque successfully set a trap for Wang Hengxi, killed a wave of Wang Hengxi monks, and captured Wang Hengxi alive.

At the same time, Zhao Zhongque also secretly discovered Li Jing's tricks, but he did not immediately capture the man. Instead, he stood still and released some seemingly true and false intelligence through Li Jing.

Zhao Sheng, who was secretly observing the trend of the matter, secretly praised it after witnessing all this.

Judging from Zhao Zhongque's ability and meticulousness in doing things, as well as his cultivation in the later stages of foundation building.

Nowadays, Xinglong Zhao's family is full of talents, and its overall strength has grown by leaps and bounds. Otherwise, they would not be willing to send a late-stage foundation-building clansman to do such dangerous things.

Sure enough, in the secret meeting half a month later, Zhao Sheng successfully learned a lot of secret information from Zhao Zhonggao, about the war between the two worlds and about the Zhao family in Nantian, but most of them were talked about in general terms.

Even this was enough to make Zhao Sheng happy.

The reason why the Xinglongyuan Zhao family was known as the "Southern Zhao family" thousands of years later was mostly due to the emergence of a great figure in the family.

Zhao Sheng also didn't expect Jing'er to actually reach such a high level today.

The Great True Lord Who Subdued the Dragon and Subdued the Demon!

This is the praise given by all the fellow gods in the Tianzhu world after Zhao Xuanjing successfully advanced to the realm of divine transformation after breaking through the Tian Pass.

With the ancestors of the Transformation God Realm sitting in Xinglongyuan, the Zhao family's rapid development and violent expansion of power naturally needless to say.

In more than a thousand years, the Xinglongyuan Zhao family has rapidly expanded from a second-rate force to a real behemoth, overwhelming the two major forces of the Danding Sect and the Beast Control Sect in southern Xinjiang. The scope of influence is not limited to southern Xinjiang.

Due to the ancestral precepts left by our ancestors to spread branches and branches, the Zhao family has continued to branch out for thousands of years. Today, the Zhao family has spread all over the world of Tianzhu, with hundreds of millions of blood clan members.

What Zhao Zhongque said was only public information, and he did not mention anything about the specific internal situation of the Zhao family, such as how many Nascent Soul ancestors there were, how many Jindan and Foundation-building clan members there were.

Zhao Sheng naturally knew that the other party still had doubts about him. To put it bluntly, he didn't trust him.

However, instead of being angry, Zhao Sheng admired Zhao Zhongque even more.

When asked when the war between the two worlds ended, Zhao Zhongque told him frankly: "On the surface, the war between the two worlds officially ended one thousand two hundred and twenty-three years ago. But in fact, despite the large-scale war, has stopped, but the secret small-scale infiltration wars are still going on, and they have been going on since thousands of years ago.”

Zhao Sheng had already foreseen this, so he was not surprised. He quickly asked: "The outcome of the war between the two realms was that the Tianzhu Realm was defeated? Otherwise, how could the Anti-Tian Alliance have so many disciples from various major sects?"

Zhao Zhongque shook his head and said in a serious tone: "There was no real winner in this battle until the end. Although the space-time rift in the Sky Burial Plains was re-sealed by this realm, but -"

At this point, he suddenly stopped.

"But what?" Zhao Sheng asked immediately upon seeing this.

Zhao Zhongque hesitated to speak and suddenly asked: "Fellow Daoist Zhao, do you believe there are real gods in the world?"

"..." Zhao Sheng was speechless and choked.
