Ascension Through Generations

When Zhao Sheng heard this, his heart felt a little stirred.

His mind was spinning, and he suddenly smiled and said: "Where did the ancestor say this? This junior has no father or mother since he was a child. He was adopted in a nursing home since he was a child. He doesn't know the surname of his ancestor."

The old man Qingshuo shook his head and said softly: "You are indeed the bloodline of the Nantian Zhao family. The origins within you are a long story. You will naturally know about it in the future."

Hearing the words "Nantian Zhao Family", Zhao Sheng was shocked, but there was a hint of shock on his face.

Huh?

The old man Qingshuo caught the change in his expression and asked slightly surprised: "Have you heard of the name of the Zhao family in Nantian?"

"Junior likes to study ancient times. I have read many previous records, so I know a little about it. The Nantian Zhao family should be one of the top clans in the Tianzhu world." Zhao Sheng lowered his eyes and said softly.

"I see, this couldn't be better!" The old man Qingshuo nodded, but then he was vague and didn't say a word.

On the side, Li Daoxing immediately took over the conversation and invited the Patriarch to rest in the mountain.

The three of them then rose into the air and flew into the cave on the mountainside in an instant.

Not long after, a clear and melodious bell suddenly came from the mountain, and soon resounded throughout the sky.

Suddenly, the clouds and smoke slowly dispersed on the Feixue Peak, and the cloud waterfall collapsed suddenly, turning into a large cloud and mist to cover the peak.

Deep in the cave, there is a vast grotto with spiritual clouds paving the ground. Zhao Sheng, Li Daoxing, and the Patriarch of the Sect sat cross-legged on a bright yellow cloud, as if they were immortals coming to this world.

At this time, a yellow light suddenly shone on the top of the grotto, and a ray of yellow light came out, and suddenly fell on the clouds, revealing a skinny old man with childish face and heavy hair, who was as powerful as a mountain. He was undoubtedly Taoist Queyue.

"Que Yue is late, please forgive me, uncle!" As soon as Taoist Que Yue appeared, he bowed to the ancestor and expressed his apology.

"Come and sit down, what the old man was about to say. You have gained a good disciple!" The old man Qingshuo waved to Que Yue and said with a smile.

Que Yue came closer, lifted up his robe and sat cross-legged. He turned to look at Zhao Sheng, then smiled at the patriarch and said: "My apprentice is extremely talented and intelligent, but he is always not dedicated and his studies are not perfect. I'm sorry." He tried several times but never corrected himself, which gave me a huge headache."

"Haha, Que Yue, you are so awesome." The old man Qingshuo shook his head and laughed. He raised his finger and pointed at Taoist Que Yue and teased him.

After some small talk, the old man Qingshuo really explained his intention.

"Que Yue, you have been guarding Diancang for more than five hundred years. According to the rules of this sect, you have already exceeded your term of office. I have found a new place for you, what do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, Taoist Queyue looked solemn and remained silent.

Zhao Sheng was shocked when he heard this and glanced at the master.

Li Daoxing, who was standing next to him, frowned and said secretly: "As expected!"

Generally speaking, in order to avoid the tendency of separatism in various provinces in the world, the term of office of the Nascent Soul High Priest responsible for guarding a province should not exceed three hundred years.

Two hundred years ago, there was a temporary lack of suitable candidates in the Tiandao sect, so Taoist Queyue was allowed to guard Diancang's high-ranking officials for five hundred years.

Now two great monks in the late Nascent Soul stage have been born one after another in the religion.

With a replacement, Taoist Que Yue's position must be moved.

Therefore, the old gatekeeper came to the door today.

Zhao Sheng didn't know the inside story, but Li Daoxing knew it well.

There is no doubt that neither Taoist Que Yue nor Li Daoxing is willing to move to another party at this time. After all, the benefits involved in guarding the post are too huge.

The reason why Li Daoxing was successfully promoted to Nascent Soul is inseparable from the "filial piety" of tens of millions of spiritual stones every year.

Taoist Que Yue, as a man with swords and veins carrying cauldrons, actually doesn't want to move.

It's just that the arms can't hold the thigh. Although the sword vein is strong, it is ultimately far less powerful than the four major veins of Tianli, Yushen, Qiudao, and Jiefa.

It was a blessing that he could serve as guard for such a long time, how could he ask for more.

You must know that there are only sixteen guards in Cangzhou, and each one is very popular, and involves immeasurable huge interests.

Taoist Queyue's term of office has expired, and it is a foregone conclusion that he will be transferred to another party.

"I dare to ask my uncle, where will the Pope send me? Will I return to the main altar? Or move to another place?" Taoist Queyue asked in a deep voice.

Following his words, the grotto shook faintly, the spiritual clouds on the ground boiled and undulated, and the cloud waves rolled, which seemed to reflect the emotions turbulent in the owner's heart.

The old man Qingshuo narrowed his eyes and suddenly smiled softly. The scars on his face twisted and squirmed, making him look as ugly as an evil ghost.

"The place is a good place! Recently, the Great Ocean Eye under the seabed of Centizhou has been missing something to suppress it. This Feixue Peak has been refined by you for more than a thousand years and has become a rare treasure. Use it for There is nothing better than suppressing the vortex of earth energy."

Upon hearing this, Taoist Que Yue's face darkened.

Li Daoxing, who was listening next to him, suddenly lost his breath and his expression suddenly froze.

Guarding Dian Cang and suppressing Hai Yan may seem to be no different, but in fact they are vastly different.

Suppressing Haiyan is a completely thankless chore, not to mention extremely dangerous, and the oil and water are even more pitiful.

However, Zhao Sheng's heart was moved, and there were thousands of thoughts in his mind, as if he had thought of something.

At this time, the atmosphere in the grotto was solemn and no one responded.

The old man Qingshuo looked at Master Queyue with a smile, but did not speak or explain much.

Li Daoxing was about to argue a few words, but when the words reached his lips, he had to swallow them back. With Master present, he has no place to speak here.

Taoist Que Yue felt that the atmosphere was different, so he said, "Uncle, is there any room for change in this matter? How important is the suppression of Haiyan! I'm afraid Que Yue cannot bear such a heavy responsibility."

After hearing this, the old man Qingshuo shook his head in disappointment and sighed: "Oh, I didn't expect that in just five hundred years, Jie Yue Jian would have been fascinated by foreign objects. There is no hope, your path will stop here, and you will be in trouble for the rest of your life. Hope to transform into a god.”

Que Yue's whole body trembled when he heard the words, and the sword light burst out from his body, and the pressure of the mountain quickly filled the grotto.

"Uncle Master, what do you mean by this?"

When it came to the realm of spiritual transformation, Taoist Queyue immediately lost his sense of proportion.

"The edge of a sword is sharpened! If a sword has been soaked in the filth of the world for a long time, the sword body will inevitably be covered with dust and the edge will be rusty. How can it cut through the sky!"

When Taoist Que Yue and Li Daoxing heard this, their bodies trembled and they couldn't help but look ashamed.

The old man guarding the gate seemed not to notice the two men's behavior, and continued: "The transformation of gods is the pinnacle of the world, and every true king is a person with great luck and great merit. As the saying goes, everything in heaven and earth has a certain number, and God does not allow the proliferation of transformations. , so the position of the true king also has a certain number.

Que Yue, if you still have a glimmer of hope, you must not miss this opportunity. I won’t tell you why, but you should understand it yourself. "

The words of the old man Qingshuo were like those of Huang Zhongdalu, and Que Yue suddenly woke up.

After hearing this, Zhao Sheng suddenly understood, feeling as if he had cleared the clouds and seen the bright moon.

"Thank you, uncle, for your advice! Que Yue agreed to suppress Haiyan!"

Only then did the old man Qingshuo smile with satisfaction and said with approval: "You can teach me!

I hope you will continue to hone yourself in the future, and when your merits are perfected, you will conquer the world with one sword, and turn the chasm into a clear path! "

"Que Yue will keep my uncle's teachings in mind!"

After saying these words, the relocation of Taoist Que Yue was a foregone conclusion.

Li Daoxing listened to the whole process. Although the expression on his face remained unchanged, his mood was very complicated and tangled.

On the other hand, Zhao Sheng seemed very indifferent, because the interests involved were not big, so it didn't matter.

However, the next words of the old man Qingshuo immediately made him the center of attention.

"Que Yue, when you take office, you might as well take this little guy to Centizhou Sea for some training. There has been a lot of trouble there recently, and there are a lot more people on the wanted list, so let him kill a few stubborn ones too. Sir, please boost up our sect’s momentum.”

Upon hearing this, Taoist Que Yue turned his eyes to Zhao Sheng. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, "Uncle Master, what he said makes sense. My disciple has always been lazy, sitting in a city without moving. This can't be done! He should be allowed to do so. Go out and see the great crouching tiger, hidden dragon in the world. It’s also good to become famous by the way!"

"Haha, it's settled! In a year and a half, when your replacement takes office, you can take this kid with you! There should be enough time!"

"Well, it's enough to properly handle all the trivial matters!" Taoist Que Yue replied calmly.

…

It was clear the next day, as the morning glow began to rise, the old gatekeeper floated away in a small boat.

On the top of Feixue Peak, Taoist Queyue stared at the disappearing boat shadow from a distance, his eyes were unfathomable and seemed to contain countless mysteries.

At this time, Zhao Sheng, Li Daoxing and Zhai Kong stood behind the master, all silent.

Compared with Zhao Sheng and Li Daoxing, Zhai Kong's face was full of worry and he looked very restless.

The master guarded Diancang for five hundred years, and Zhaikong also served as the master of Chongdao Palace for more than a hundred years.

To this day, their lineage is too deeply involved with Diancang Province, and they cannot be separated from each other whether it is interests or connections.

The Pope's decree allowed the master to change seats easily. How could this not make Zhaikong extremely anxious?

He knew that the day his master left was the day he would step down as the palace master.

Although this day has not yet come, the outcome is already determined.

"Master, with your -

"Go on, tell me, what should be cleaned up should be cleaned up as soon as possible, and what should be made up for should be made up as much as possible. Before the arrival of the new guard, all the dirty and shameful things must be dealt with. Don't let the teacher have to bear a filth before leaving. name!"

Before Zhai Kong could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by his master.

Taoist Que Yue's tone was serious and his attitude was firm, and he did not allow Zhai Kong to refute.

Unexpectedly, Zaikong risked being scolded by his master, and finally bit the bullet and explained: "Master, this disciple is not trying to make excuses, but the shortfall is too great! It cannot be made up!"

Um?

With Que Yue's nasal voice, Zhai Kong suddenly felt sweat on his forehead, and his voice became softer and softer as he spoke.

Que Yue scolded: "Trash! Why don't you get down and wipe your butt."

Zhai Kong responded hurriedly: "Yes, Master, I will do it now!"

At this time, Que Yue looked back at Li Daoxing and ordered: "Xing'er, go and help your junior brother. Now some forces are really shameful, and it's time to clean them up."

"Yes, Master. Daoxing knows how to act!" After saying that, Li Daoxing's eyes suddenly shot out two gleams of cold light like electric fire.

The two of them took the order and left quickly, leaving only Zhao Sheng and Que Yue on the top of the mountain.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Sheng asked tentatively: "Master, why don't we disciples also go down and help a group of senior brothers Zhaikong?"

Taoist Que Yue turned to look at him, with a strange look on his face.

"Sanbao, how much do you know about the Nantian Zhao family? Do you know the purpose of taking you to Centizhou Sea?"

Zhao Sheng's thoughts turned around after hearing this, and he responded carefully: "My disciple doesn't know much about the Nantian Zhao family, but according to previous records, the Nantian Zhao family has unfathomable power in the Tianzhu world, and this family has a true god-transformer. Your Majesty, there are more than a dozen Yuan Ying great sacrifices in the clan, over a hundred golden elixir priests, and countless foundation builders, making them one of the most powerful enemies in this world.

As for why the disciple was asked to go overseas to Centizhou, the disciple initially thought it was for training, but he always felt that it was not simple. "

Que Yue said in a deep voice: "My disciple, what you think is correct. The old gatekeeper will not pay attention to you for no reason. You have the blood of the Zhao family, and you may be of great use in the future."

Zhao Sheng remained silent after listening!

At this time, Que Yue suddenly took out something and threw it towards Zhao Sheng.

boom!

Zhao Sheng stretched out his hand to take the object, his hands suddenly sank, and he felt a heavy pressure on his hands.

If you look closely, you will see that it is a piece of innate Geng gold with a big head, blue body, and as bright as a star.

Although this piece of innate Geng gold is not large in size, it has been refined many times and is extremely pure. It weighs one million kilograms and its value is immeasurable.

As soon as he saw this thing, Zhao Sheng understood everything immediately. The secret that he deliberately concealed did not escape Que Yue's discernment at all.

"This Geng Gold Pearl is enough for you to refine five Geng Gold Sword Pills. Xinghai Sword Intent is one of the best swordsmanships in this lineage.

It uses the sword formation as its source. The more sword pills there are, the more powerful the sword formation is. After mastering the art of swordsmanship, even fighting across levels is regarded as nothing. You have this opportunity, don't let it go. " Que Yue's eyes were deep and he said earnestly.

Zhao Sheng put away the Geng Golden Pearl and bowed solemnly, "Disciple will live up to Master's high expectations!"

…

In the past month, everyone in Chu State City was in danger. Countless arrogant and domineering young masters were locked up at home by their families and were not allowed to go out.

For unknown reasons, many aristocratic families in the city had their homes confiscated and imprisoned, causing a bloody storm.

The old palace master Zhai Kong seemed to be going crazy, sending a large number of manpower to track down the deficit. At the same time, he sent all his capable subordinates to the lower counties to launch a cruel and ruthless Taoist inspection.

Investigate deficiencies, investigate unjust cases, and investigate all illegal and rebellious people. Wherever they go, officials are in trouble and countless heads fall to the ground.

Although the temple city is the center of power in Diang Cang Province, and the relationship is too complex to be attached, Zhai Kong changed from his usual friendly nature and became selfless, and no one who broke the precepts would be punished.

For a time, a large number of high priests were sent to the divine prison every day in the temple city.

Because Li Daoxing was by his side, even if Zhai Kong went too far, almost no one would dare to take the lead.

For a time, countless monks were in panic, fearing that the palace master's thunderous wrath would descend upon them.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Zhao Sheng. After he got the Geng Jinzhu, he immediately went down the mountain to retreat and worked day and night to refine the sword elixir.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

On this day, red light was steaming in the secret room, and waves of fire were rolling. A Xinglan pill was flying and circling in the fire cloud, sometimes reflecting half a ray of sword light.

Zhao Sheng made a secret with both hands, his consciousness exploded with all his strength, and he was always paying attention to every change of the sword elixir.

At this time, a small green and black man suddenly walked through the stone wall, quietly flew to Zhao Sheng's ear, and whispered furtively.
