Ascension Through Generations

Zhao Sheng took out four top-quality spiritual stones of gold, wood, wind, and fire from his storage bag, which corresponded to the spiritual root attributes of the four princes.

When the Ninth Patriarch Zhao Zhenhai saw him taking out four priceless spiritual stones, he was immediately surprised. However, for the sake of face, he had to suppress his impulse and watch without saying a word.

Ancestor Qingshan was also extremely surprised and secretly cursed: "It's just four princes, but Lao Shiliu is actually willing to give away the best spiritual stones. It's such a waste of natural resources! If you don't use it, you can exchange it with me!"

Zhao Sheng didn't know the resentment in the Seventh Patriarch's heart, so he gently threw the spirit stone into the air and waved his sleeves.

Huh~huh~

In an instant, four kinds of heaven and earth spiritual fires, including Thunder Spirit Flame, Golden Crow True Fire, Samadhi True Fire, and Molten Gold Extreme Flame, shot out from the bottom of the sleeves. After flying into the air, they each held the corresponding spiritual stone, and then began to smelt it. stand up.

The four spiritual stones floated up and down in the spiritual fire of heaven and earth, and within a moment they were smelted into crystal orbs with restrained spiritual charm.

Zhao Sheng stretched out his hand to recall the orb, and at the same time, the spiritual fire of heaven and earth turned into a fireball, flew back into the sleeve robe like lightning, and disappeared.

Twisting an orb casually, Zhao Sheng suddenly shot out a dazzling divine light from the center of his eyebrows. It penetrated into the whirlpool of the aura of the orb and turned into a ball of faint light and shadow, faintly surging with inexplicable fluctuations.

Next, he followed the law and injected a distracting consciousness into all the remaining three orbs.

After doing this, Zhao Sheng's face turned slightly pale. With a flick of his finger, the four distraction orbs fell into the arms of the four princes respectively.

At this time, he explained calmly: "I'll reward you with a little gadget I made at random. If you put your spiritual consciousness into it, you will be surprised!"

The four princes looked at each other and immediately followed their ancestor's instructions to penetrate their spiritual consciousness into the orb.

Suddenly, the four of them froze there at the same time, their eyes becoming empty, but soon a look of pain appeared on their faces.

In just a few breaths, the four people screamed in pain one after another and regained their consciousness, but all of them had complex expressions of pain and excitement on their faces.

"Grandson, thank you ancestor for the treasure!"

After regaining consciousness, the four of them knelt down in unison, saluted respectfully and shouted.

Zhao Zhenhai on the side looked at Qi Qi and couldn't help but ask: "Sixteen, what treasure did you just refine? Why are these little bastards so excited?"

Qingshan Patriarch and Holy Emperor Zhao Dutian also looked over curiously.

At this time, Zhao Sheng's expression had returned to normal. After hearing this, several people gave a few simple explanations.

It turned out that he had just refined four distracting consciousnesses into the orb.

These four distracting consciousnesses are no small matter, and their spirituality is as high as that of a real person.

When someone probes the space of the orb with their spiritual consciousness, the distracted consciousness will automatically evolve into a "Zhao Sheng" and fight with the tester until one party loses.

The cultivation level of this combat "Zhao Sheng" will be actively suppressed to the point where it is comparable to that of the trialists, but it has most of the actual combat experience and memories of Zhao Sheng in the Nascent Soul Realm.

Think about it, a Nascent Soul Ancestor personally accompanies you to play actual combat, and can play whenever you want. In the end, there is no danger to your life, and it only consumes a part of your mental energy.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

One can imagine why the four princes were so excited.

Of course, Zhao Sheng's willingness to send out four distractions also had a deeper meaning.

After a hundred years, when the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone cannot bear the distraction, he will naturally take back the orb and restore the soul to perfection.

After hearing this, Patriarch Qingshan was shocked and said: "Qiongtian, you actually practiced the "Star God Thousand Hearts Art". How confused! This art has long been included in the taboo method, and people of this tribe must not practice it. You must know that in the early years, , nearly a hundred people in the family have practiced this magic trick, but most of them ended up losing their minds and going crazy! Only seven or eight people succeeded, but they all died from the backlash of their inner demons when they were going through the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation.

Therefore, as early as five hundred years ago, our ancestors banned this technique and did not allow us to have access to it.

Qiongtian, where did you get this secret? "

Zhao Sheng's heart trembled when he heard this, and his mind immediately thought of an excellent excuse.

"Well, didn't our ancestor tell you? In my early years, I found the place where ancestor Qingyang was buried, and thus got his true biography. This "Star God Thousand Hearts Jue" is also among them." Zhao Sheng pretended. Said in surprise.

After hearing this explanation, Patriarch Qingshan and others suddenly realized. Then they remembered that Lao Shiliu and Patriarch Qingyang had some connection, so they no longer doubted it.

After Patriarch Qingshan's suspicion disappeared, he ordered the four princes to retreat.

When there were only four of them left in the palace, Zhao Zhenhai began to tell them about the current situation in the city of God and the new information he had collected one after another.

During this period, Holy Emperor Zhao Dutian also occasionally added words.

After a while, Zhao Sheng had a very clear understanding of the current situation in Shendu.

Generally speaking, the situation in Shendu is still calm, but occasionally, disciples of the Soul and Soul Demon Cult suddenly launch suicide attacks, causing minor disturbances.

The two sects continued to send out dead soldiers in this way, and their purpose seemed to be to disturb the peaceful atmosphere in the capital of gods, and to deliberately make people panic.

Until now, only some small shrimps have appeared, and the strongest ones are only in the late stage of foundation building. Not even one of the magic elixirs has been seen.

However, according to more and more spy reports, there are various signs that the two sects of Ten Thousand Corpses and Ten Thousand Souls definitely want to make a big fuss in the capital of God.

In order to be on the safe side, Saint Emperor Zhao Dutian needs to have a Nascent Soul Ancestor guarding him at all times.

Therefore, Zhao Sheng and the other three discussed and quickly decided on the division of labor. Zhao Zhenhai was stationed in Tai Chi Hall to protect the safety of the Holy Emperor.

Ancestor Qingshan and Zhao Sheng are mobile forces, ready to be on guard against the sudden attack of Master Tianzhi and Lord Caogui, or even more enemies.

Of course, a few people were not too worried about Zhao Dutian's personal safety, because almost no fool in the world dared to break into the imperial city.

Just because the imperial city and the inner city of the Divine Capital were also built by the ancestor Zhao Xuanjing himself, the multiple formations arranged in the city and the trump cards that no one knew were enough to make anyone except the True Lord retreat in the face of difficulties.

On the same day, Zhao Dutian summoned the direct lineage people in the divine capital and personally held a grand celebration for Zhao Sheng and the two.

This move has three purposes: firstly, it is to welcome the ancestor to the divine capital, secondly, it is to appease people's hearts, and thirdly, it is to frighten the Xiaoxiao disciples who are hiding in the dark, and it is best to make them retreat when they see difficulties.

On the second day, Zhao Sheng moved into the palace newly built for him and claimed to be in seclusion, but in fact, his true body had already slipped out of the palace and was wandering around the divine capital at will.

In the next half month, Zhao Sheng traveled throughout the inner city and most of the outer city, leaving countless marks secretly.

During this period, everything was calm in the city of God, as if all the evildoers were deeply lurking.

However, what a master Zhao Sheng is!

During his half-month tour of the city, he took action many times and caught many evil heretics.

As the saying goes, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds!

After all, Shendu is one of the most prosperous capitals in the Tianzhu world.

There are a lot of evil heretics who are making a living in this giant city that covers an area of ​​hundreds of miles, living in seclusion, and hiding from their enemies.

With Zhao Sheng Yuanying's later cultivation, finding these hidden evil heretics was simply overkill!

However, a lot of people were arrested, but there were very few disciples belonging to the Corpse and Soul Sects.

He used a little bit of tricks to make a bunch of remnants miserable and hurriedly confessed everything he knew.

The previous intelligence was not wrong. The Ten Thousand Corpses Sect and Ten Thousand Souls Sect were indeed tricked, so they secretly began to seek revenge.

However, those who appeared on the stage of the Divine Capital were all outcasts. The backbone of the two religions and even the ancestors of Yuanying were deeply hidden, without revealing any flaws.

Just when Zhao Sheng thought that the situation would continue to be stalemate, urgent reports from thousands of miles away came from the eastern territory of the Zhao Dynasty.

"Three days ago, the governor of Gan Dang Province was assassinated. The assassin was masked in black robes and accompanied by hundreds of bronze-armored corpses. It is suspected that the corpse woman of the Ten Thousand Corpses Sect was responsible. The murderer is currently missing..."

"...Five days ago, the Grand Governor of Hexi Province suddenly disappeared at night for no reason. I don't know who did it. However, there was a very faint ghost aura remaining in the dormitory, and the breath was extremely pure. The Grand Governor was in the realm of the Martial Saint and could make no sound. Xi took him away, and the person who took action was suspected to be a Yuanying ghost cultivator."

"Yesterday, when Prince Qian traveled to Baixiu Mountain, a masked man suddenly attacked the camp. A thousand Yuling troops formed a formation to meet the enemy, but the entire army was wiped out. Prince Qian was taken away by the masked man and disappeared... Take action The person is suspected to be a great master in the later stage of Jindan, or even the ancestor of Nascent Soul..."

On the same day, General Zu Chong of Fenghuo Pass suddenly fell into a coma. After investigation, it seemed that the General’s soul was cursed by some kind of curse and he still cannot wake up.”

"I ordered Long Lin to report..."

"That's enough, stop reading!"

In the Imperial Study Room, Zhao Dutian, who was sitting on the Nine Dragons Couch, was full of anger. He suddenly shouted coldly and stopped the Dragon Scale Envoy from reporting.

The Dragon Scale Envoy is an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.

As the leader of the highest intelligence agency in the dynasty, this person is not only a member of the Zhao clan, but his strength has also reached the level of a martial saint, comparable to that of Jindan Zhenren.

Seeing the Holy Emperor's anger, the Dragon Scale User immediately bowed silently and stepped aside.

Zhao Dutian suppressed his anger, turned to look at the three Nascent Soul Ancestors sitting on both sides, and said coldly: "Ancestor, this is clearly provoking our majesty! If we don't wipe out this gang of thieves as soon as possible, I'm afraid we will let people The six dynasties laughed at my clan's incompetence. Please help me, my three ancestors, to relieve my worries!"

Patriarch Qingshan touched his chin and said in a deep voice: "At the same time, so many high-ranking officials in the border areas were either assassinated or disappeared. It seems that the strength of the remnants of the two religions cannot be underestimated!"

"In my opinion, this large-scale attack and killing was not only carried out by the Second Corpse Soul Sect, but there may be more malicious forces secretly involved."

What Zhao Zhenhai said makes sense.

After all, the Zhao family in Nantian has risen too quickly, and its foundation is much shallower than other major sects.

However, in the past thousand years, the most prosperous family was none other than the Nantian Zhao family.

Because there are too many people in the clan, the Zhao family will inevitably occupy a large number of spiritual energy-rich places in Central Continent.

There are only so many overall interests in this continent. If you take too much, someone's interests will always be harmed.

In this way, the Nantian Zhao family who has eaten "a fat head and a fat stomach" will definitely provoke countless "enemies" and even become a "target of public criticism."

The recent turmoil may be a manifestation of taking too much and causing backlash.

At this time, Zhao Zhenhai looked at Zhao Sheng, who had remained silent, and asked, "Sixteen, what do you think of this matter?"

Zhao Sheng raised his head, groaned, and said: "I feel very strange why the murderer took away certain people and corpses. Check to see if those who are missing and whose bodies are missing are from our clan. Clan members?”

Speaking of this, Zhao Sheng had a flash of inspiration and immediately changed his words: No, check again to see if their ancestors are all from the lineage of Qingyang ancestors, and do they have ancient blood? "

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the palace changed!

The dragon scale envoy did not care about his superiority and inferiority, and quickly got out of the queue and knelt down on one knee, saying in a trembling voice: "Return to my ancestor, your guess is correct. All the missing people are closely related to the royal family. Except for those who are listed in the royal family. Among them are Prince Qian and others, and there are also several illegitimate sons of the royal family."

"Hmph, trash! Get out of here and investigate this matter thoroughly for me. If you can't find any clues, I will remove you from your position, get out!" Zhao Du shook his sleeves angrily, pointed at the Dragon Scale User's nose and cursed angrily. road.

On the surface, Zhao Dutian was scolding him angrily, but in reality he was handling it lightly, quite protective of his calf.

"Wei Chen must live up to the emperor's trust. Wei Chen will retire first!" After the dragon scale envoy bowed respectfully, he quietly exited the imperial study.

In front of the three ancestors, Zhao Dutian did not act like the Holy Emperor, but looked sad: "Oh, this is not good! The territory of this dynasty is close to three million miles, and there are countless provincial capitals. If we do this, In such a large territory, finding those thieves would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

If this continues, the ministers and generals of each province will not know how many casualties they will suffer. These people are the pillars of the country, I am very heartbroken! "

Ancestor Qingshan's whole body exploded with yellow light, and the illusion of a towering giant peak appeared behind him. He snorted coldly: "Humph, our clan has not shown its strength for a long time. Those young people thought that I would be too old to walk. It seems that they really want to Try to crush their skulls with my Qingshan Palm, you won’t know whether to live or die!”

When Zhao Sheng heard this, he comforted him and said, "Seventh Patriarch, please don't get angry, otherwise you may fall into the enemy's plan of attacking in the east and attacking in the west!"

"To attack in the east and attack in the west? Yes, it is possible. But it may also be a conspiracy. If we don't come out to guard the gods, the enemy is likely to continue to commit crimes crazily in various places. If we rush to various places, our strength will undoubtedly be dispersed. Why don't we go to the police first? Shenlong Valley asks for help." Zhao Zhenhai also suggested.

Zhao Sheng thought about it and felt that what he said was not bad. It should be noted that the forces secretly planning this matter had committed a big taboo. This move was undoubtedly a declaration of war against the Zhao family.

Now this matter is not only the revenge of the Soul Soul Sect, but more likely to target the entire family. It has initially left the scope of conspiracy and is gradually evolving into a conspiracy.

However, there is something wrong with the logic of this matter.

Logically speaking, with the Zhao Dynasty having a true god-incarnation king standing behind it, no fool would dare to challenge the Zhao family's majesty.

But it happened!

This shows what?

If someone is not so stupid as to seek death, it means that there must be forces behind all the troubles.

Based on this inference, wouldn't it mean that... the Taishang Induction Sect, which has been dormant for a long time, has begun to become restless? !

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng's heart moved. He looked up at the other two ancestors and said solemnly: "I propose to send a prince to visit all the provinces in the world to appease the ministers! At the same time, the ancestors must be informed of this matter in a timely manner. .”

"Qiongtian, how can a trivial matter alarm Xi? No! This matter is definitely not trivial. We must inform our ancestors about it as soon as possible."

When the words came to light, Patriarch Qingshan's expression suddenly changed, he took a breath, and instantly changed his attitude.
