Ascension Through Generations

In life, there are some things that you don't like, so you can avoid them from a distance and end up out of sight, just like Zhao Jingyuan.

But the world is troubled, and wherever there are interests, there are inevitably disputes, let alone the battle for the throne of one of the seven great dynasties in Central Continent.

Even though Zhao Sheng is already the ancestor of Yuanying with a transcendent status, he cannot avoid it.

Nowadays, he is hiding in Zhao's secret mansion in the name of seclusion to consolidate his realm, but there are still "relatives" who bring people to come to him.

After thousands of years, the spiritual realm of the Secret Mansion has undergone earth-shaking changes. A large amount of earth and stone has been excavated and transported, and the area of ​​the Secret Mansion has increased dramatically. It has been developed into a spiritual medicine garden covering an area of ​​more than thirty miles.

But what remains unchanged is the ancient peach tree, which is getting bigger and bigger, more beautiful and magical.

This ancient peach tree stands in the center of the secret palace. Its lush and huge canopy covers the sky and the sun, covering more than thirty miles. It looks like a majestic mountain, eternal and vast.

Groups of spiritual clouds flowed and wandered under the canopy of the trees, and the mist was hazy and lingered all over the garden, nourishing countless rare herbs and medicines below, making them grow stronger and more vigorous than the outside world.

After Zhao Xuanjing was promoted to the Divine Transformation, Zeng Yu sent Shanlong to sort out the earth veins underground in the Secret Mansion and open up the surrounding spiritual vein branches. After years of hard work, the spiritual veins of the Secret Mansion have now been successfully promoted to the third-level spiritual veins, becoming an indispensable spiritual realm for the Zhao family.

What's more, there is the only ancient spiritual root in the world in the secret palace, and the longevity peach matures once every hundred years, so its preciousness is immeasurable.

After all, there is no other divine item in the world that can extend one's life span. One can imagine how much the ancestors of Yuanying and even the True Lords of Transformation God crave for this item.

It is also for this reason that there is an ancestor of Nascent Soul sitting in the secret mansion of the Zhao family all year round, and the mountain dragon often appears here, using the trunk of the flat peach tree to shed its old skin.

Coupled with the ancestors of the Zhao family who guard the Ascension Platform, it can be said that the Zhao family's secret mansion is one of the safest forbidden places in the Tianzhu world. Almost no one dares to peek into this place.

However, the secret palace can guard against outsiders, but it cannot stop "our own people".

The ancient flat peach tree towers into the clouds. Its trunk is as thick as ten people can hold it. It is covered with dragon scales and green dragons. A thick and twisted tree root protrudes from the ground, like huge dragons walking wantonly between the layers of soil. It looks like Full of explosive vitality.

At this time, an extremely elegant and simple wooden building was suspended on the waist of a tree hundreds of feet high. There was a jade couch on the terrace of the wooden building. Zhao Sheng was sitting upright on the couch, holding an ancient book in his right hand. I studied this book with concentration and seemed to be addicted to it.

After drinking tea, a handsome young man in a green robe suddenly flew onto the terrace from below and landed silently next to the jade couch.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Sheng looked up from the book, a hint of helplessness flashed between his brows.

The young man in green robe lowered his eyebrows and said softly: "Ancestor, it is our ancestor Qingshan who came to visit with his people."

Zhao Sheng sighed secretly, put down the ancient scroll, stood up, and signaled: "Since the ancestor of this lineage is here, I can't avoid it. Let's go and greet him."

As he spoke, he rose into the air and fell from the terrace. The young man in green robe saw this and hurriedly followed him.

Not long after, Zhao Sheng led the two of them back to the terrace with a warm smile, and then asked them to sit down.

These two people are one old and one young. The old man was square-faced and had big ears. He was over ten feet tall, as tall as an iron tower, and his eyes flashed when he opened and closed them. He was none other than Qingshan Patriarch, one of the three Yuanying Patriarchs of the Shenzi Meridian.

The young man is a young man in his late twenties, with a face like a crown jewel, but a heroic and high-spirited temperament. He is naturally noble, and his cultivation is so-so, but he has broken through the foundation building.

"Haha, before I came here, I heard ancestor Changdu say many times that you, Qiongtian, are a natural genius in cultivating immortals. You don't live to be a hundred years old, but you are already on the same level as me. When I saw you today, I realized that hearing a hundred times is worth seeing once. ! We, Shenzimai, finally have another great talent! What a joy to congratulate!"

"Old Ancestor Qingshan is so grateful. This junior is just an orphan who has wandered away from another world, but he admires his clan deeply. The reason why he is lucky enough to be here today is all due to the life-saving grace of Ancestor Changdu. Otherwise, Qiongtian would have died long ago in the pursuit of the Tiandao Sect. Got off."

Ancestor Qingshan waved his hand: "Hey, Qiongtian, you are too humble. If you were lucky, wouldn't the bunch of young people in the clan who have high eyesight be a bunch of trash? Besides, you always have the Zhao family in your body. Bloodline, it is only natural that ancestor Changdu saves you. Just keep this kindness in your heart and don’t take it too seriously.”

Zhao Sheng smiled slightly, suddenly turned to look at the young man, and asked with a smile: "Ancestor, haven't you introduced this young gentleman yet?"

"Oh, look at my memory. Heart Talisman, why don't you hurry up and pay homage to Qiongtian Patriarch."

"Descendants of the Xinzi generation, Zhao Xinfu pays homage to Patriarch Tian."

When the heroic young man stood up and kowtowed to Zhao Sheng respectfully, Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed, and he waved his sleeves to create a stream of magic power, blocking Zhao Xinfu's kneeling movement.

But at this moment, Qingshan Patriarch popped up an invisible magic power, which dissolved Zhao Sheng's power, allowing Zhao Xinfu to kneel down smoothly.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Sheng smiled helplessly and accepted the other party's complete kneeling ceremony.

Next to him, Patriarch Qingshan also explained: "Qiongtian, you don't know something. Since ancient times, only etiquette can never be abolished! There are hundreds of millions of people in the family, and there is no rule without rules. It is the first time for this kid Xinfu to pay homage to the ancestor, so it is natural for him to kneel down and bow down. . Of course, when we meet again in the future, we only need to bow our heads. Except for ancestor worship ceremonies, there is no need to kneel down on weekdays."

Zhao Sheng nodded, waved his sleeves again, helped Zhao Xinfu up from the ground, and asked at the same time: "I just returned to my clan not long ago, but I don't know that Xinfu is a descendant of that ancestor?"

"I was about to tell you in detail. Xinfu is the current ninth prince. If you go up the list, the ancestor is the second son of Qingyang ancestor, Hua Xiong Xuanzu. Of course, although the current royal family is divided into two , but they are all descendants of ancestor Qingyang.

Speaking of which, all descendants of the royal family have to thank you for bringing back the news about ancestor Qingyang. "

Hearing this, Zhao Xinfu said nothing and wanted to kneel down to salute, but Zhao Sheng, who had quick eyes and quick hands, pushed him back with a finger.

"Okay, no need to be polite." Zhao Sheng said quickly. This is too much red tape and annoying!

Ancestor Qingshan saw everything and probably already knew what kind of person Zhao Sheng was.

He winked secretly at Zhao Xinfu, who nodded slightly.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Qingshan Patriarch took out a sealed jade box and sent it to Zhao Sheng. At the same time, he smiled and said: "I learned before that Qiongtian you successfully overcame the tribulation. I am extremely happy and don't have anything good to give, so I will give you one." The first-grade high-grade spiritual veins and the land deed with a radius of thousands of miles are as gifts. Don’t dislike it!”

"Absolutely not! The gift from the ancestor is too expensive. This junior cannot accept it." Zhao Sheng's heart moved and he immediately refused.

Qingshan Patriarch said disapprovingly: "It's just a small gift. According to the rules, every time a Nascent Soul Ancestor is born in the family, not only will other Taishang Clan elders send congratulatory gifts, but they will also send invitations to Zhongzhou Guang to hold the Nascent Soul Ceremony. Yes. You must accept this gift, otherwise you will break the rules."

"That's all! Qiongtian, thank you ancestor for the gift." Seeing this situation, Zhao Sheng had no choice but to accept this "gift".

"That's right! Rules are rules and cannot be broken!" Ancestor Qingshan saw this with a satisfied smile on his face.

After Zhao Sheng accepted the jade box, he thought for a moment, took out a bloody talisman from his arms, waved it to Zhao Xinfu's table, and said with a smile: "Since it is a rule, I can't break it. But. I couldn't help but feel happy when I saw the heart talisman's majestic appearance. This is an escape talisman I drew in my early years. It's called the Baili Huahong Talisman. It's quite powerful. I'll give it to you today."

"I don't dare to refuse this gift from the elder! I accepted the heart talisman. Thank you ancestor for the generous gift!" Zhao Xinfu hesitated for a moment, but quickly accepted this third-level high-grade treasure talisman.

Zhao Sheng nodded secretly. He was indeed a prince who had the ability to compete for the throne. He was well-mannered, neither humble nor arrogant, and his conduct and character were extraordinary.

In fact, from the moment he met Ancestor Qingshan and Zhao Xinfu, Zhao Sheng already knew their purpose.

Of course, the two of them didn't hide anything. Since they had come in person, it was obvious what their intentions were.

Both sides also know it well and there is no need to point it out.

In the past few days, Zhao Sheng had sent away two waves of "distinguished guests" in succession, and today these two were the slowest to respond.

At this moment, the young man in green robes, holding a teapot and tea cup in his hand, flew up to the terrace at the right time, and then served the three thousand-year-old peach blossom tea one by one.

While the three of them were enjoying tea, Patriarch Qingshan had a lively conversation, telling Zhao Sheng endlessly about some of the major events that had happened in the two thousand years since the founding of the Zhao clan in Nantian.

Starting from the founder of the family in Longli Lake, the family had no choice but to move to Taiwu Mountain, and then rose rapidly.

Then ancestor Xuanjing achieved the golden elixir, defeated Xinglongyuan in a battle, and established the foundation of the king's hegemony.

After thousands of years of accumulation, the family grew stronger and stronger. Finally, three hundred years ago, the Zhao family of Nantian sent troops from southern Xinjiang and entered the Plains of Ten Thousand Nations. In thirty years, they conquered seven million miles of mountains and rivers, and finally created the seven overlords of Central Continent. Da Zhao, one of the super dynasties...

Zhao Sheng listened quietly, and occasionally chimed in with a few words, which made the other party even more interested.

Most of the "old things" Qingshan mentioned were the result of Zhao Sheng's painstaking efforts, but they were much more touching than the commentator himself.

However, Zhao Sheng found it very interesting to hear his descendants brag about how their ancestors were doing in person, so he listened more and more seriously.

Qingshan's lecture lasted two hours. When he talked about his family's entrepreneurial history in the past few hundred years, he was obviously much more detailed.

However, he began to secretly mix in private goods, many of which were flattering and disdainful, and he spoke very wildly.

As an ancestor of Nascent Soul, Qingshan did not bother to hide his opinions, and what he said was based on personal experience.

The second half of the Zhao family's "entrepreneurial history" gradually favored the Zhao royal family, especially the first three generations of "emperors" who were all juniors of Qingshan, so naturally they would not be ignored.

"The founding emperor was called Zhao Jingheng. He was a ruthless man. His temperament and wisdom were not only the best among his peers, but also unrivaled among his clansmen under the age of 500. Therefore, he became the founding emperor of Zhao.

Hehe, he also benefited the most from this. He accounted for a full tenth of the luck of founding the country. Less than thirty years after he ascended the throne, he was promoted from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core in one breath. When he abdicated a hundred years later, this kid actually reached the late Golden Core stage. "

Hearing this, Zhao Sheng suddenly interjected: "Ancestor Jing Heng came here ten days ago. Well, he is truly a dragon among men and will definitely be the mainstay of my Zhao family in the future."

Ancestor Qingshan's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but he still waved his hands pretending not to care, and said easily: "It turns out that Jing Heng is so fast, no wonder he was the one who came to the fore back then. Let's not talk about him, let's talk about Da Zhao. The second emperor Zhao Miaodi.

Speaking of him, I must say that Jing Heng really set a 'good example'. The so-called luck is a treasure that cannot be bought with ten thousand dollars! The Emperor of Great Zhao was blessed by the luck of the country, and his cultivation speed was extremely fast, and it was difficult for him to suffer any disaster.

If the ancestors hadn't set the rule in advance that the throne would change every hundred years, I'm afraid that boy Jing Heng would have shamelessly sat on it and not abdicated.

Therefore, one can imagine the intensity of the battle for the second throne.

Although it was Zhao Miaodi who won the big position in the end, it is not that no one is better than him. It can only be said that God's will is unpredictable. Of course, this child is still qualified to be an emperor, but one thing that is very bad is that he is too greedy for power. He only narrowly missed being promoted to Jindan when he abdicated, and such a great opportunity was wasted. It’s really rotten wood that cannot be carved! "

Zhao Sheng nodded slightly, seeming to agree.

When Patriarch Qingshan saw this scene, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he changed his topic and started talking about the third emperor, Zhao Xinfu's biological father, Zhao Hengfeng.

This person's final victory was completely beyond the expectations of most of the clan members.

Because both Zhao Jingheng and Zhao Miaodi came from the Zhao Huaying branch, but Zhao Hengfeng came from the Zhao Huaxiong branch. A great talent appeared in the branch that was originally unable to peek into the throne and snatched the throne from others. One can imagine how strong the mind’s ability is.

Ancestor Qingshan did not mention how "exciting" the battle for the throne a hundred years ago was, but Zhao Shengguang could guess that without the secret support of Qingshan or more Yuanying ancestors, Zhao Hengfeng would have been able to seize the throne. Strange.

Zhao Sheng thought about it and immediately understood what Qingshan and others were thinking.

If the throne continues to be passed on to the Huaying branch, it will definitely cause a serious imbalance in the strength of the Shenzi branch.

Not only that, will the other seven veins such as Renyi, Li Zhixin and others watch the "Shen" pulse occupy the throne and "eat meat" with the help of the power of the dynasty?

Definitely not!

Throughout the ages, only interests are the most attractive!

No matter how fast the power of the Nantian Zhao family expands, no matter how large the scope of influence is, after all, the resources for cultivating immortals are limited and it is impossible to satisfy the appetite of all clan cultivators.

So, let’s “roll” together!

And they are not only "engaged" with external forces, but also "engaged" with their own people.

Outperforming others is just like the First Emperor Zhao Jingheng, who was promoted to Nascent Soul in just three hundred years.

If you can't win, others can only blame you for being useless. Live honestly for more than 180 years, give birth to a few children at most and offer incense, and finally be buried in the family cemetery, only to turn into ashes a hundred years later.

There is no doubt that Zhao Hengfeng's position as emperor must be the result of "involution", and other clans must also have made great efforts secretly.

Zhao Sheng was even sure that some of the other seven veins of the Zhao family must have received generous rewards in the past hundred years.

The result is obvious. The battle for the throne this time must be more intense than a hundred years ago.

But what does everything have to do with him?

Anyway, after fighting over and over again, in the end, all the descendants of Zhao Sheng became the emperor!

Hey, I know what you guys mean, but I don't want to get involved, just "playing".
