Ascension Through Generations

"Come on, come on! We can't stay here any longer."

"Damn it, go home quickly and tidy up. Let's go back to the countryside and hide for two months."

"Oh, hurry up and report to the officer!"

"Liu San, go to the temple city immediately and report this matter to Mingwang Temple."

When someone shouted that a ghost disaster was coming, the crowd suddenly panicked and scattered in panic.

Of course, there were also a few smart people who notified the government and Tiandao Sect separately.

Myoji Temple is the collective name for a type of temple under the Tendo Sect. The temple is dedicated to Fudo Myoō, who is responsible for exorcising ghosts and demons.

More than a hundred people died in the city overnight due to the troubles of demons. This supernatural incident immediately attracted the attention of all the major forces in the city.

As if facing a formidable enemy, the Chengyin Yamen sent out several Qi Refining Realm arresters one after another, each leading a team of innate agents to investigate the scene.

At the same time, Mingwang Temple also sent a group of black-clad Taoist disciples into the Chu Kingdom City. Taoist families such as the Gu family and King Wu Fang also took notice of the news, and most of them took various targeted measures.

Although the people in the city are panic-stricken, in fact, there are always supernatural disasters like demons and ghosts causing trouble in Chuguocheng every few years.

Therefore, whether it is an official temple city or a monastic family, they have already had very rich experience in handling such incidents.

As long as the number of deaths does not exceed 10,000, it is actually not a big deal for the ruling class. In fact, a group of ants die every few years and cause one or two minor disasters, which is actually conducive to its own rule.

Of course, this is a "tacit understanding" among the upper class, and the common people and even the middle and lower classes know nothing about it.

The day passed quickly, but there were few clues to the case.

On this day, the three major ruling forces of Chengyin Yamen, Tiandao Sect, and the Taoist Family suddenly came together to suppress the increasingly absurd rumors in the main city, and cut off all news related to this matter.

Secret spies and media outlets from various companies also worked secretly to produce numerous hot news, directing the limelight in other directions.

The recently popular "Journey to the East" in the city is undoubtedly an excellent hot spot, so many parties secretly added fuel to the fire, which made the sales of "Journey to the East" even more popular. The various stories in the book quickly spread throughout the city and became a popular topic in the city. It is a topic of conversation that ordinary people talk about every day.

After thousands of years of rule, the upper class has mastered the art of propaganda and obfuscation!

In Jing'anfang, Dongcheng, a forbidden barrier was erected in the underground secret room of a house, and the thin wall of light shone with a faint black light.

The light in the secret room was dim. There were three figures sitting in the shadows on the edge of the circular stone table in the center, and their faces could not be seen clearly.

At this time, a gentle voice suddenly sounded in the darkness: "Fellow Taoist Plague, how are you cultivating the plague?"

The black shadow shook, as if there were countless dense insect shadows moving around: "Hey! It still lacks some heat. Brother Wulun, if you can't wait any longer, you can activate it now."

The Wulun Sanren looked at the black shadow opposite and said calmly: "That's not necessary. The hungry ghosts released by me can still last for a while. The hasty launch of the plague now will not give the Tiandao Sect a heavy blow."

After saying that, another silent black figure of Wulun Sanren asked: "Zi Lao, the prison is heavily guarded to avoid alerting the enemy. Before the Tiandao Sect's attention is drawn away, I hope the Tianxin Sect can wait patiently for a while. day,"

"Yes! But it cannot be delayed for more than two months at the latest. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to explain to other allies. Also, when can the plague be successfully cultivated?"

The Plague Man chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zi, Pindao will definitely not delay your important event. But can the Demonic Plague Drum you promised be handed over to Pindao as soon as possible?"

"In three days at most, the Plague Demon Drum will be delivered."

"Haha! In this case, Pindao can rest assured."

At this moment, the Wulun Sanren ghost body suddenly trembled, and suddenly burst out a large amount of black energy. The black energy boiled endlessly, and instantly turned into ferocious ghost heads, emitting bursts of piercing howls.

"Ahem!"

Wulunsanren coughed, and his black robe suddenly swelled. Countless ghost claws stretched out from under the robe. In an instant, it seemed as if countless big black hands grew out, grabbing all the ghost heads in the blink of an eye.

There was a flash of black light, and the ghost hands in the sky had already retracted into the black robe.

Then, Wu Lun Sanren explained: "I'm sorry to make you two laugh, but two hungry ghosts suddenly lost contact just now."

Wu Lun Sanren is not a living person, but a Golden Core Realm ghost cultivator. This Tiao is infamous in Diang Cang Province. It has been responsible for more than ten tragic murders, and far more than a million mortals have died because of it.

Ghost cultivators who rebel against heaven are often not tolerated in the world.

Ghost cultivators are very rare in the Tianzhu world. Zhao Sheng has been reincarnated six times and has seen countless evil heretics, but he has never seen a few pure ghost cultivators.

The truth is easy to tell, but rarely known.

Because the Tianzhu world is just stuck between the two stages of "living" and "bad", the world has not yet truly declined, so there is no soil for the birth of ghost cultivators.

The evolution of any world cannot be separated from the four stages of "creation, residence, destruction, and emptiness".

When a world is in the first two stages of "creation and residence", the way of heaven is vigorous and strong, and the yang is strong and the yin is weak, making it extremely difficult for ghost cultivators to be born and there is almost no room for growth.

But when the two major stages of "badness and emptiness" occur, the way of heaven declines, the aura environment becomes bad, the heaven and earth gradually become stronger and weaker, and the world slowly moves towards destruction.

When heaven and earth are in the final stage, demons, monsters, demons, ghosts, etc. will emerge and become more and more rampant and wreak havoc on the world.

The so-called "Tao eliminates demons and rises" is not just a metaphor.

In a sense, it cruelly points out one of the ultimate truths of any world.

Due to the failure of the Blood God's reliance on heaven, the Nether God Realm quickly declined from a prosperous and prosperous world. This has also led to the increasing power of ghosts in the past ten thousand years, and the ghost cultivators have shown signs of becoming more and more prevalent in the past thousand years.

In recent years, the dominance of Tiandao Sect has been slowly declining, and the foundation of its rule has already begun to shake.

This also gave hope to countless other forces that had been suppressed.

In the past thousand years, various forces such as the Guild of Ghosts and Gods, the Heaven-defying Alliance, heretical cults, ghost cultivators, and demon cultivators have secretly and tacitly launched attacks many times, causing many major events one after another. It is inevitable that the Tiandao Sect is distracted and exhausted, and is quite anxious.

…

On the other side, after Zhao Sheng saw Zhao Hongyun's grandson and named him Zhao Lingfeng, he went into seclusion again and continued to refine the Wutong Shen.

Because he was busy refining the God of Evil, Zhao Sheng did not know that there was an undercurrent in Chu State City, and many forces were working together to create trouble secretly.

After refining the Golden Toad Seed, he spent another forty-three days using his own lungs as the basis to refine a "God of Fortune".

So far, the five gods have become three, and there are still two gods, snake and rat.

On this day, in a remote corner of Dongchengfang City, Chu State City, the darkness stirred slightly, and a figure appeared out of thin air.

As soon as Zhao Sheng appeared here, he suddenly frowned, and his consciousness instantly burst out of his body and spread in all directions.

His spiritual consciousness enveloped several nearby streets, but he saw white flags hanging high at the door of every house, and bursts of crying could be heard in most of the surrounding courtyards.

But there are also many houses that are dead and quiet, with very few living people breathing inside, and most of them even have black sores on their faces, and they are dying and look like they will die soon.

Zhao Sheng couldn't help but said to himself in surprise: "Well, what's going on? Why are so many people dead?"

"wrong!"

Suddenly his heart moved, as if he thought of something, his body flashed and suddenly turned into nothingness.

The next moment, Zhao Sheng appeared in the backyard of Zhao Mansion.

As soon as he appeared, his expression became even more ugly, because there was no one inside and outside the Zhao Mansion, and nearly a hundred people in the Zhao Mansion were missing.

"snort!"

Zhao Sheng snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and robe, and the person disappeared in an instant.

A quarter of an hour later, he wandered around most of Chu State City and found that the city was completely closed. Except with permission from the government, no other people could go out.

At this time, he had learned from people that a black plague suddenly broke out in the city half a month ago.

Because the plague broke out so suddenly and violently, it only took two days from illness to death.

But it happened that it suddenly broke out when the starving ghost disaster spread.

The two disasters struck together, resulting in not only heavy deaths among the residents of the city, but even worse, tens of thousands of victims, with almost no survivors left.

As early as twenty days ago, before the Chu State City was closed, the influential forces and families in the city fled the city one after another, leaving only ordinary people who could not leave.

Half a day later, Zhao Sheng secretly explored the whole city, made some estimates, and found that at least 300,000 people died in this man-made disaster.

Yes, this is a man-made disaster rather than a natural disaster!

A group of evil heretics such as Wulunsan and Wendaoren didn't even bother to hide their identities. They almost played a "clear card" and were so arrogant that they attacked the Tiandao Sect and other righteous forces.

Zhao Sheng also quickly learned from two minor Qi refining cultivators that the Divine Prison was suddenly breached by internal and external cooperation, and many prisoners had escaped.

Because of this, the Tiandao Sect and the Da Gu court were furious, and quickly issued a wanted order and set a heavy reward. Then many Jindan chief priests were sent to hunt down the culprits such as Wulunsan and Wendaoren.

However, they had already fled and disappeared without a trace.

"Hmph, what a bold person!" Zhao Sheng's eyes were cold and he disappeared from the place in an instant.

…

Half a day later, we arrived at the Black Market in Zhenyun Peak.

To the west of Fang City, there is a huge tower-shaped building covering an area of ​​more than ten acres and about ten feet high.

The two big men in white robes were standing motionless on both sides of the door. Judging from the auras emanating from them, they both had advanced levels of Qi refining.

On the huge plaque hanging high at the door, there are four large golden characters "Chu King Chamber of Commerce". The fonts glow with a dazzling golden light, making it particularly eye-catching.

This is where the largest trading house in the Black Market is located.

The King of Chu Chamber of Commerce is a large-scale trading house jointly established by the major monastic families headed by the Gu family. It has a profound foundation, countless treasures, and a daily transaction volume of more than one million spiritual stones.

"This is it. I hope I won't be disappointed here..."

An old man in green robes said lightly to himself, then turned and walked towards the door.

This person is exactly what Zhao Sheng is pretending to be.

"Senior, please stay here. Please show me your invitation letter?" The tall man guarding the door bowed slightly and asked with a smile on his face.

Zhao Sheng saw this and shook his head: "No, I don't."

"Sorry, no entry is allowed without an invitation."

The big man in white robe said directly and coldly.

Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed, and a powerful momentum slowly rose from his body. At the same time, his spiritual consciousness spread out and entered the building.

He waited for a while, shook his head and was about to leave.

"Senior, please stay. The voice below is one of the managers of the auction house. I don't know how to call senior." At this moment, a handsome young man in his twenties, wearing a light red robe, hurried from the door. When he came out, he called Zhao Sheng very politely.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, you are polite. This old man's surname is Zhao. He is a casual cultivator." Hearing this, Zhao Sheng turned around and asked unhurriedly.

"It turns out to be Senior Zhao. Senior must have just arrived in Chuguo City. He may not know something. The recent situation in the city is special, and our bank has to implement an invitation system." Fang Xiang explained.

Hearing this, Zhao Sheng's face showed a hint of surprise, but he regained his composure instantly.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, I wonder if I can get one of these invitations?" Zhao Sheng asked with a sudden thought.

"Senior only needs to take a test and pass it before you can come in. If you think about it, it is not difficult to pass the test if you have cultivated in the Foundation Establishment realm." Fang Xiang said with a gentle smile.

After a while, Zhao Sheng successfully entered the auction house.

Later, in the quiet room on the third floor, Zhao Sheng's face was as calm as water, but his eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something.

On the jade table in front of him, there were several jade boxes.

At this moment, Fang Xiang was sitting opposite, carefully appraising the elixir in the jade box, with a look of joy gradually showing on his face.

After a while, Fang Xiang closed the jade box and said with emotion: "Senior's skill in alchemy is very high, I admire you very much. This third-level demon-dispelling elixir has clear elixir patterns and is of excellent quality, the lowest is top grade. Such a treasure elixir is at least It also costs 70,000 to 80,000 spiritual stones. I wonder what treasure the senior wants to exchange for?"

"You should read the treasures in other boxes first."

As he spoke, Zhao Sheng waved his right hand, and all the lids of the jade box on the table were opened, revealing the fragrant elixirs and the various strange phenomena inside.

"This is the Resurrection Pill, the Blood Spirit Foundation Building Pill, and the Anti-Plague Pill. They are all middle and top grade." Fang Xiang was shocked and dumbfounded when he saw the spirit pill contained in the box.

"I would like to exchange for an Edict of the Gods. I just don't know if the King of Chu Chamber of Commerce has such a treasure." After Zhao Sheng finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.

Bang bang bang!

Fang Xiang quickly closed all the jade boxes, and then couldn't help but take two deep breaths, and said with an embarrassed look: "Senior, I am a little embarrassed. The Conferred God's Order is so precious, how can a commercial bank just buy and sell it casually?"

Zhao Sheng put down the teacup and wrote lightly: "Oh, really? Is it because the old man's bid is too low, or do you have no trading authority at all? Let your family come forward! You can't afford this deal."

"Senior, wait a moment!" Fang Xiang's expression changed when he heard this. After thinking for a moment, he stood up with difficulty, saluted and hurriedly left the room.

About a tea time later, a middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes walked in with a smile on his face, holding a gold box about the size of a foot in his hand.

The man sat down and pushed the gold box in front of Zhao Sheng. Then with a tap of his finger, a ray of white light fell into the box.

The seal on the surface of the box suddenly disappeared, and then opened with a flick. A layer of divine light came out of the box in an instant, exuding some kind of sacred and majestic aura.

Zhao Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly and saw a small dark golden seal as big as a fist, which looked like gold but not gold, placed squarely in the middle of the gold box.

The small seal is in the shape of a round sky and a square earth, and the whole body emits layers of soft and pure divine light.

However, this seal is looming, seeming to be somewhere between illusion and reality.

"Is this the legendary order of the gods?" When Zhao Sheng saw this scene, a strange color suddenly flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Kavin.

By the way, I would like to explain that today Baimei suddenly realized that he had written too many side details. In order to avoid being too watery, ghost disasters, plagues, and prison robberies were deleted. At the same time, many character interaction plots were also deleted.

Otherwise, it would take another 40,000 to 50,000 words to write it all down.

Today’s update is late, I hope book friends will understand!
