Ascension Through Generations

Southern Xinjiang, Xinglong City

On this day, a stream of light suddenly broke through the clouds and crashed down into Xinglong City.

In an instant, the stream of light fell to a height of a hundred feet, and suddenly the light dispersed, revealing Zhao Sheng's figure.

He looked down at the vast city stretching as far as the eye could see, with a slightly emotional look on his face.

Compared with a thousand years ago, the scale of Xinglong City today has expanded more than ten times.

Zhao Sheng's spiritual thoughts expanded to a hundred and twenty miles away, and the buildings he saw were extremely prosperous, but he still could not "see" the edge of the ancient city. This shows the scale of Xinglong City.

When Zhao Sheng let go of his spiritual thoughts, he also alerted the Zhao family's Yuanying who was guarding Xinglong City.

"Haha, I wonder which of my comrades is interested in coming to our Xinglong City today? Zhao Shanhe will be polite first."

As a clear voice sounded in his ears, Zhao Sheng focused his eyes and saw a blue light flying out from the Bagua Guangming Tower in the center of the city. It flew ten feet away opposite him and manifested a short-haired man. A middle-aged man with yellow eyes.

Zhao Sheng smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "The Sixth Patriarch misunderstood. I, Zhao Qiongtian, pay my respects to the Patriarch of Shanhe."

Zhao Shanhe looked startled, then he laughed happily and said: "Haha, the flood has really washed away the Dragon King Temple, and one family doesn't know the other! It turns out that the new dragon of our clan has come! I'm a long way off to welcome you, please forgive me. crime!"

Zhao Sheng said implicitly: "Sixth Patriarch, don't do this, it must be Qiongtian's presumption."

"Haha, let's not talk about this anymore. Come with me, let's go to Guangming Tower to talk." Zhao Shanhe flew close, took Zhao Sheng's arm, and took him to fly towards Guangming Tower.

…

Half a day later, in the Xichen Pavilion on the seventh floor of Guangming Building, a feast was halfway over.

There were only seven banquet tables in the spacious and luxurious hall. The two jade tables at the top stood opposite each other, and the two people sitting behind them were Zhao Sheng and Zhao Shanhe.

Sitting on either side of the two men were five Jindan masters. They all came specially to pay homage to the new ancestor of the family and to accompany him at the same time.

At this moment, behind Zhao Sheng were two young men standing on the left and right, holding pots and cups of wine. They were both outstanding-looking people.

Halfway through the banquet, Zhao Shanhe's cheeks turned red. He pointed at the two people behind Zhao Sheng as if he was drunk, and said with a smile: "You two come forward."

The two Zhao family's geniuses tensed up after hearing this and immediately walked to the front.

Zhao Shanhe said again: Qiongtian, what do you think of these two bastards? "

As soon as Zhao Sheng heard this, he knew what it meant and couldn't help but look at the two of them.

After a while, he couldn't help but admire: "The luck is purple, and the head and horns are majestic. Before Jiazishou, the foundation has been built. If he doesn't die in the middle, the golden elixir can be expected."

Zhao Shanhe's expression paused after hearing this, and then he laughed loudly and pointed at Zhao Sheng: "Qiongtian, it's you again. Really, it seems that I can't hide my little abacus from you after all. Hehe, you are awesome, it's true. Hit the nail on the head!”

At this point, Zhao Shanhe's face turned cold and he shouted at the two geniuses: "You two are not up to par, why don't you go to seclusion as soon as possible. When you have worn away the pride in your heart, you will come out of seclusion."

As soon as these words came out, not only the two Zhao family geniuses, but also the five Jindan masters were silent.

The Sixth Patriarch, Zhao Shanhe, was famous for his bad temper in the family. Even though the two young geniuses were his juniors, he was merciless when he reprimanded them.

When Zhao Sheng saw this, his eyes flashed, he immediately waved his hand and said with a gentle smile: "Sixth Patriarch, if you are like this, it will make me look mean."

With that said, Zhao Sheng took out two bottles of high-grade Ningshen Pills, waved his sleeves into the arms of the two young people, and said at the same time: "It's our first time meeting, there is nothing good. These are some Ningshen Pills that I refined in my early years, and the quality is acceptable. It’s a meeting gift. You two go down first! Don’t worry about it.”

The two geniuses of the Zhao family looked at each other, suppressed their frustration, and bowed in unison: "Grandson Zhao, thank you ancestor for the elixir!"

After the two people left in a hurry, Zhao Sheng deliberately scolded: "Sixth Patriarch, why are you doing this?"

"Haha, nothing can be accomplished without cutting it! Those two boys' eyes have almost grown to their foreheads. If we don't teach them a lesson, I'm afraid their achievements in the future will be limited." Zhao Shanhe said half-truthfully, as if he was drunk.

"What the ancestor said is absolutely true. The younger members of the family now have no children left. If this continues, it will inevitably damage the family atmosphere." Jindan Zhenren below echoed.

Zhao Sheng smiled and said nothing.

Although he is the real host of today's reception banquet, the purpose is not simple.

Nowadays, there are undercurrents surging in the family and factional disputes are fierce. He is now in a detached position and can remain neutral. It is better not to get involved in some muddy waters.

…

After the banquet, Zhao Sheng visited Xinglong City for two days and saw the old courtyard mansion.

Then, he declined Zhao Shanhe's invitation and went alone to the eighth floor of the Bagua Guangming Building, where the scriptures are stored.

The so-called scripture library is actually a large-scale underground building complex, covering an area of ​​more than 20 miles, with tens of thousands of scripture rooms and jade slips.

The scripture storehouse is divided into areas based on the skills of cultivating immortals. According to the rarity and rarity, the storehouse is divided into nine levels, three levels of heaven, earth, and people. The defense becomes more stringent with each higher level.

The most advanced heaven-level scripture treasury, the formation defense restrictions were arranged by Zhao Xuanjing himself, and it would be difficult to break even if the True Monarch of Transformation God takes action.

Buzz!

As the forbidden light curtains cracked one after another, Zhao Sheng walked unimpeded along the corridor to the underground. On both sides were diamond doors one after another. The doors were covered with dense runes, and the spiritual light shone with a faint aura. Coercion.

Not long after, he came to a dark and heavy door. On both sides of the door stood two three-foot-tall stone statues. The faces of the stone statues were quite similar to Zhao Xuanjing, and they exuded an extremely dangerous aura.

Zhao Sheng stood in front of them, his hair suddenly standing on end. There was actually a vague fear, as if if the stone statue came to life, he would inevitably die.

Fortunately, the two stone statues only emitted two yellow lights from their eyes, sweeping across Zhao Sheng's body, as if to verify his bloodline and identity.

boom!

After two breaths, the yellow light dissipated, and the dark door rumbled open, revealing a spacious and bright stone room behind it.

After Zhao Sheng stepped in, the door slammed shut...

…

one day later

Zhao Sheng held an aqua blue jade slip in his hand and sat on a stone platform with an excited expression.

"Haha, I've made a profit! It's true that all my hard work in several lifetimes has been in vain. Now, more than one person has blazed a new path. At that time, I just put the "Xumi Hua Hai Sutra" in the Sutra Pavilion, but I didn't expect it. Some people have proved it with their own lives, and they have used it to prove the Dao Yuanying. The Eighth Patriarch Zhao Xingbo is really a great talent!"

"Mustard Na Sumeru! I didn't expect that three-element heavy water could be used as the core of the water realm. The idea is really strange."

"Tsk, tsk, three-yuan heavy water is not a natural spiritual creature, but is refined from one-yuan heavy water. Only a thousand drops of one-yuan heavy water can condense one drop of two-yuan heavy water. One thousand drops of two-yuan heavy water. In this way, it is a million drops of one-yuan heavy water. Only then can one drop of ternary heavy water be extracted.”

When he read this, Zhao Sheng let out a hiss and took a breath. Such a refining method was too luxurious.

Even if the family is as big as the Zhao family, it cannot sustain such a few refining times.

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng suddenly became overjoyed and thought to himself: "Xumi Hua Hai Jing is good, but it is too burning of spiritual stones. We need to continue to improve it in the future!"

…

Another day later, Zhao Sheng's eyes showed a look of surprise. Opposite him, a nine-foot-tall crystal statue was shining brightly, and the meridians and tree diagrams like a river network were all over the statue's body, showing every detail.

On the meridians, there are a total of 365 true orifices shining like stars.

At the same time, densely packed, dust-like starlight shimmered faintly in the internal organs of the figure, like stars filling the sky.

Zhao Sheng's spiritual mind penetrated into the statue, and he fully sensed the mystery of this martial statue. He couldn't help but murmur to himself: "The book "Martial Arts" I wrote back then only wrote about the realm of spiritual connection. But I didn't want to There are also martial arts wizards among the younger generation, who are able to innovate from the old, from the gods to the martial sages, and the true aperture Yun Yuan Dan! A martial sage can actually rival the golden elixir. It is truly unbelievable!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Sheng looked at himself with his spiritual mind and faintly sensed the tiny cells in his body with an astronomical magnitude. He couldn't help but sigh: "The cells are so small, but they can give birth to such great power, Gang Yuan force, and the power of the cells." Power! The name fits the occasion."

In this life, return to the family. The surprises brought to him by his family could be described as one after another, some of which were beyond his imagination.

As the saying goes, if you sow melons, you will reap melons; if you sow beans, you will reap beans!

Back then, he left behind the ancient warrior bloodline, and today it finally bears fruitful results.

The ancient fighting body is incomparably suitable for physical cultivation. Those with spiritual roots can practice physical cultivation, but mortals without spiritual roots are all martial arts geniuses.

As a fighting body belonging to the human race in the immortal world, the ancient fighting body has unlimited potential.

You must know that the adult Barbarians can resist Yuanying monks with their physical strength.

Even though the ancient warrior body has experienced bloodline degradation in the Tianzhu Realm, it is still extremely talented.

Four hundred years ago, Zhao Yu (later named Zhao Fuyu), the 13th generation grandson of Qingyang Patriarch, reached the limit of being a spiritual warrior. With his fighting power, he had few opponents in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

In his early years, he once consumed a Dragon Elephant Fruit, which caused his bloodline to return to his ancestors, and his whole body's energy and blood were like a sea. Because of his extremely special martial arts magical power "Xuanzhao", he accidentally peeked into the cells in his body.

After that, Zhao Yu spent a long time and tried tens of thousands of times to probe the cells with Gang Qi, trying to decipher the secrets of the human body.

Perhaps God paid off, and when Zhao Yu was about to die, he miraculously "activated" a cell in his heart, causing an extremely strange power to "exude" from the cell.

When this strange power is combined with the innate Gang Qi, unprecedented "vitality" instantly bursts out. Its properties are quite similar to the true essence of the golden elixir. From then on, the Gang Yuan Power was born.

One month later, Zhao Yu miraculously regained his youth, and his martial arts cultivation officially entered a new level. Not only did his life expectancy increase greatly, but he also did not lose in the battle with the early Jindan real person.

Zhao Yu named this new martial arts realm the Martial Saint Realm, which means the Holy of Martial Arts.

After him, the Zhao family's martial arts flourished, and seven more martial saints were born in succession over the past few hundred years.

But what is strange is that, without exception, all the Martial Saints come from the lineage of Qingyang Ancestor.

Many people suspect that Zhao Yu has hidden the key to becoming a Martial Saint.

But when the ancestor Zhao Xuanjing came forward to confirm it in person, the Zhao family realized that everything was due to the ancient fighting body.

The innate physique of ordinary people is far inferior to the bloodline of ancient warriors, and the cell activity is not enough. Naturally, it is extremely difficult to "channel" the cell vitality, which makes ordinary warriors hopeless for the ultimate martial arts realm.

At the same time, all members of the Zhao clan, armed with ancient barbaric fighting bodies, are considered peerless generals and are invincible on the battlefield.

Therefore, during the period of conquering the world, the Qingyang ancestor's line repeatedly made great achievements, and finally overwhelmed the other branches with a huge advantage, and with the strong support of the ancestor, became the only Zhao royal family.

The ancient battle body is a unique and superb physique in the Tianzhu world. Zhao Xuanjing has a far-sighted vision and cannot fail to see the infinite potential of the ancient battle body.

Therefore, as early as a thousand years ago, the Zhao family established clan rules that would never allow women from the ancestors of Qingyang to marry outside the family, and they would not allow male descendants to marry into other clans.

Back to business!

Zhao Sheng memorized the true orifice meridians in the crystal body one by one, and then wrote down all the contents of the "Martial Scripture: The Holy Chapter of Martial Arts".

Then he stood up and walked out of the stone room.

The layers of restrictions outside a stone room were quietly removed, and Zhao Sheng walked into it.

This stone chamber is empty except for a stone tablet standing in the center, with the four characters "Tai Qing Jiu Yang" written on it.

Zhao Sheng was suddenly surprised when he saw it. It turned out that the "Tai Qing Nine Yang Gong" was recorded here.

His spiritual consciousness penetrated it, and a large amount of information instantly poured into his mind.

After a moment, Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed with a trace of regret, and he secretly said: "In more than a thousand years, only eighteen people have met the conditions for cultivation. The number is too small. It seems that this magical skill is destined to be 'high and low-key'."

As soon as the thought fell, Zhao Sheng turned around and walked out without any hesitation.

…

Half a month later, Zhao Sheng walked out of the scripture library refreshed.

Jindan Zhenren, who was guarding outside, immediately came up to greet his ancestor when he saw him coming out of seclusion.

Soon, Zhao Shanhe also arrived in a hurry.

When he learned that he was leaving soon, the sixth ancestor of the Zhao family seemed very surprised. He couldn't help rubbing his hands and said with an awkward smile: "Why don't you stay in Xinglong City for a while longer? I really want to spend more time with you." Let’s exchange our cultivation experiences several times.”

Zhao Sheng was thoughtful after hearing this, and immediately changed his mind: "Even so, I'll be fine if I stay here for a few days."

Zhao Shanhe said happily: "This is what you said. I and you both belong to the fire element, and we also practice the "Golden Crow Burning Heaven Technique". If the two of us communicate more often, we will definitely gain a lot."

After Zhao Sheng heard this, he also looked happy: "Before I came here, I only heard that the Sixth Patriarch was a rare master of alchemy in the family, but he didn't expect that his major was also the Golden Crow Burning Heaven Technique. What a coincidence!"

"Come on, let's go to my Chongyang Cottage now. It will definitely surprise you."

After saying that, Zhao Shanhe pulled Zhao Sheng up and flew away happily, leaving the family golden elixir next to him dumbfounded.

Zhao Sheng stayed in Xinglong City for another three months before getting rid of the extremely enthusiastic Zhao Shanhe, leaving Xinglong City and heading to Shenlong Valley, the new ancestral land of the Zhao family.

…

Shenlong Valley is located to the south of the Central Plains of Central Continent. It is 310,000 miles away from Xinglong City and more than 3,000 miles away from Dragon City.

Shenlong Valley, formerly known as Shennong Valley, was the territory of the Shennong Sect thousands of years ago.

The Shennong Sect was originally a first-rate sect second only to the ten major sects in Central Continent.

But the last war between the two realms was undoubtedly a big reshuffle for the Immortal Cultivation World in Central Continent. Even the Haoran Sect and the Ziyang Sect were destroyed, not to mention the Shennong Sect.

When the Nether God's army invaded Central Continent, the Shennong Sect was swept away by the army because it was adjacent to the Plain of Ten Thousand Kingdoms, and because the sect had countless elixirs and was extremely rich, so the entire sect was destroyed.

To be honest, Shennong Valley is indeed the top spiritual realm in the Tianzhu world.

The whole valley is three thousand miles of fertile land, and there is a third-level high-grade main spiritual vein underground, as well as seven or eight third-level branch veins, and all five elements are present.

The area of ​​high-quality spiritual fields in the entire Linggu is as high as 30,000 acres, second only to the Danding Sect.

Three hundred years ago, the Zhao Dynasty was established.

In the same year, Shennong Valley was also officially renamed Shenlong Valley.
