Ascension Through Generations

Nine ethereal realms, dark sky.

The void here is always chaotic and misty, and the endless wind of time and space fills every inch of dark space, seemingly flowing with endless "raging".

At this moment, a huge cigar-shaped cyan spaceship "quietly" broke through countless small turbulences of time and space, speeding along the mighty torrent of time and space towards the unknown time and space of chaos and silence.

There are hundreds of cabins scattered throughout the belly of the spacecraft. Each cabin has an area of ​​only 100 square meters, which makes it very cramped.

In Cabin C3, the floor and walls are covered with wooden textures. The surface seems to be crystal smooth, but it is carved with dense and complex patterns, and the whole body exudes a faint green light.

Zhao Sheng sat down cross-legged, closing his eyes and meditating on the jade bed in the corner of the cabin.

It has now been more than several years since he boarded the ship. The Shuangling ship stayed in the Great Chun Realm for two months, and then resumed its long voyage to the virtual world.

Until today, this ship has been parked in the outer layers of the three Hengsha worlds for a period of time, ranging from ten days to several months.

The "richness and poverty" of each Hengsha world are different. Often, the more "rich" the world is, the longer the Shuangling will stay.

For several years, Zhao Sheng has been traveling in the virtual world on this ship. The total voyage has exceeded a thousand years. The three Hengsha worlds he passed through can be said to have their own characteristics, with completely different scenery and people. It also opened Zhao Sheng's horizons, and he felt that the trip was worthwhile.

"Passengers" like him who traveled to foreign lands were not uncommon on the Shuangling. The total number of passengers boarding and disembarking was generally around three digits.

Zhao Sheng was once secretly frightened, because anyone who could afford a "ship ticket" had the lowest strength above the Nascent Soul realm, even the True Monarch of Transformation God was not uncommon.

According to what he knew from several previous inductions, there are currently more than ten fingers on board the Shuangling with god-level combat power. And in the most important main control cabin at the bow, there is a terrifying existence whose aura is as unfathomable as the abyss.

This person must be a big shot sent by Sansheng Palace to guard this ship, and his cultivation level is definitely above the Return to Void Realm.

After meditating for a long time, Zhao Sheng suddenly stood up and walked to the cabin door in a few steps. He shot a ray of spiritual thought between his eyebrows and hit the barrier, and the blue barrier suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Then, he opened the hatch and walked out.

After walking along the cabin passage for more than two or three miles, there was suddenly a light curtain of pale white light at the end of the passage. It looked like a light door, but it was impossible to see where it led.

When Zhao Sheng saw this door, he deliberately showed a smile on his indifferent face. He stepped into the light door first and disappeared into it.

As soon as he entered the light door, his eyes suddenly lit up. The next moment, Zhao Sheng appeared above a vast expanse of water, and a breath of fresh air hit his nostrils.

He took a deep breath and suddenly felt refreshed. Then he glanced around and found that the lake was dozens of miles wide. The lakeside was full of greenery, with exotic flowers and plants everywhere.

Further around, there is mist, towering mountains, a landscape of lakes and mountains, and the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

Directly in front, there is a small green island in the middle of the lake, with green forests and mist hanging on it. There is also an exquisite and simple waterside pavilion standing on the island.

Looking down, I saw constant ripples in the water, with plump dragon-whiskered carp swimming among them, and a variety of rare fish and insects at the bottom of the dense water.

The spiritual realm here is beautiful, but Zhao Sheng is very clear that the "lakes and mountains" in front of him are just an "illusion"

In a flash of thought, Zhao Sheng had already flown along the water surface and landed in the waterside pavilion that was halfway into the lake.

As soon as he entered the water tower with high eaves and high eaves, a tall old man wearing a crane cloak and a fairy-like manner came forward to greet him.

When he saw that the person coming was Zhao Sheng, the tall old man was overjoyed. He quickly bowed his head and saluted, and sang: "It turns out that Senior Tianqiong is here. The little old man failed to welcome you from afar. I am sorry!"

"Fellow Daoist Jing doesn't need to be polite. I just came out to relax and sell some unused elixirs and treasures."

"Seriously? This is great! The elixirs and treasures produced by our seniors are all rare and exquisite products. Not only are my colleagues flocking to them, but even the supervisors of Nascent Soul in this palace are also very excited!

I just don’t know what kind of high-level elixir the senior is going to use this time? If it were the Enlightenment Pill, that would be great. The junior desperately wants to buy one from the senior. "

"There is no Enlightenment Pill, but there are two Nine-Nine Resurrection Pills. The old man still has the same conditions, and those who have time and space treasures will be given priority."

After boarding the ship, Zhao Sheng used the identity of Tianqiong Sanren as an external identity, and deliberately showed off his superb alchemy level, and repeatedly took out high-level elixirs above the fourth level.

Therefore, he was quickly regarded by the "passengers" as an unparalleled alchemy master and was "respected" by almost everyone.

After all, the status of a great master of Alchemy is almost as good as that of a True Lord of Divine Transformation. No matter where he goes, he is the object of admiration and admiration from everyone.

While the two were talking, they walked all the way into the depths of the waterside pavilion and came to a Yin Yang Bagua Pavilion.

The pavilion is ventilated on all sides, with a yin-yang fish pattern inlaid on the ground. The cathode side is full of lakes and mountains, and behind the anode is a small spiritual field, surrounded by a layer of colorful light curtains, inside which grows medicinal plants. An extremely old elixir and wonderful herb.

At this time, there is a jade table and futon on each of the eight hexagrams in the pavilion, but there is no one there.

Master Jing Lian stretched out his hand to make an invitation, and said with a flattering smile: "Senior Tianqiong, please come in!"

Zhao Sheng nodded slightly, walked into the pavilion, and randomly chose a jade table near the lake to sit down.

Seeing this, Master Jinglian quickly chose the nearest seat and sat down, with a "just right" smile on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Jing, you are also an alchemist. You should know all the elixirs here, right?" Zhao Sheng took out several white jade elixir bottles from his sleeves and placed them on the jade table in front of him.

Jing Lian Sanren's eyes swept over the pill bottles, and a faint spiritual thought completely enveloped all the pill bottles, and he immediately saw the elixir in the bottle "clearly".

"The top-grade Jiujiu Soul-Returning Pill, the top-grade Lingzhao Pill. And uh, this seems to be the top-grade Guixu Pill. They are all fourth-level spiritual pills. The senior's shot is indeed extraordinary!"

Zhao Sheng heard this and expressed generously: "You and I are quite destined, so I will give you priority this time. But the exchange must be something that can catch the eyes of the old man. In addition, the old man has several questions, and he needs fellow Taoist to help him. ."

Master Jing Lian was overjoyed and nodded without hesitation: "Senior, if you have any questions, just ask! As long as this junior can tell me, I promise to tell you everything I know."

"Don't worry, I know the rules on the ship, so I won't embarrass you."

When Master Jing Lian saw this, his expression changed, and he immediately smiled and said, "Senior, before asking, can you let me do some trading first?"

How can this person's plan be hidden from Zhao Sheng? The purpose is nothing more than to trade with him before others arrive.

"Haha! Fellow Daoist Jing's reputation of 'never suffering a loss' is indeed well-deserved. Anyway, I promise you that."

Master Jing Lian seemed not to hear what he meant, and immediately took out a skull-sized piece from the storage bag on his waist. It had countless fish scale-like lines on its surface, and had a warm and shiny texture, resembling a fossilized bone.

"Senior, please see, this jade bone of a Thousand Loach Dragon comes from a Demon Saint-level Thousand Loach Dragon. Although I don't know how long it has been drifting in the dark sky, it still retains more than 60% of the time and space characteristics. Thousand Loach Dragon in the East The Star Territory has been extinct for hundreds of thousands of years. Therefore, this dragon bone fossil is extremely rare." Master Jing Lian said, pointing to the bone fossil.

Zhao Sheng stretched out his hand to take a picture of this object, and looked at it for a long time. His powerful spiritual thoughts also "penetrated" into the bones, and he could clearly sense the "wave-like ups and downs" of space-time fluctuations. Unfortunately, these fluctuations were very disordered and inconsistent. No pattern to be found.

"Did Taoist Fellow Jinglian have long planned to use this bone fossil of unknown origin in exchange for the elixir in the old man's hand? He is indeed a disciple of Sansheng Palace. This calculation has been done to the core, which really makes the old man admire him." Zhao Sheng said casually. Throwing the bone fossil onto the jade table, he couldn't help but praise it.

"Senior Tianqiong's words are wrong. As the saying goes, goods are destined to be sold to people. This junior will buy this 'Thousand Loach Dragon' jade bone at no cost, just because he respects senior as a human being. This object does have extremely powerful power of time and space. As for what it is What a legendary creature it is, and it doesn’t actually matter whether it comes from Thousand Loach Dragons or not. What’s important is that this treasure suits the senior’s eyes. This junior is confident that he will not be mistaken.” Master Jing Lian waved his hand, confidently Said Manman.

"Haha, now that you have seen the flaw, I admit defeat. Just follow the previous transaction rules. You can choose any bottle of the elixir here. As for this 'Thousand Loach Dragon' jade bone, it belongs to Lao Chen. "Zhao Sheng said with a smile.

After that, he casually picked up the jade bone fossil and put it into his sleeve.

On the other side, Master Jing Lian looked happy, and he quickly grabbed the bottle of the fourth-grade top-grade Guixu Pill and carefully put it into his storage bag.

The Guixu Pill is extremely difficult to refine. It is one of the high-level pill formulas deliberately revealed by the Sansheng Palace. This pill can eliminate conflicts between different souls, and can especially "cure" various sequelae after the Yuan Shen takes over.

At the beginning, after Zhao Sheng revealed his identity as the great master of alchemy, he was summoned by the owner of the ship soon after, trying to recruit him to join the Sansheng Palace.

After the recruitment failed, the captain was not angry. Instead, he gave him several fourth-level elixir recipes, including the Guixu elixir recipe, and even the elixir needed for several elixir recipes.

This move is extremely heroic!

In the following years, Zhao Sheng also intended to "repay the favor", and now it is the second time that he has taken the Guixu Pill.

After the transaction was completed, Zhao Sheng suddenly asked: "Hundreds of years ago, I had a good relationship with Taoist monk Long Kui from your palace. This time I boarded the ship, but Taoist monk Long Kui was missing. Does Taoist Jing know that this person is now here?" Where?"

Upon hearing this, Master Jinglian's eyes flashed, and then he said bluntly: "Senior Long Kui has accumulated enough achievements a hundred years ago and successfully returned to the mountain gate of Sansheng Palace. I am afraid that he is now practicing hard in seclusion, trying to break through to the realm of a great monk. "

"Oh, that's it." Zhao Sheng nodded calmly, and suddenly asked: "By the way, I still want to know, how long will it take for our ship to reach the Black Sand Realm, and how many Hengsha Realms are there in between?"

"Senior, I don't know. The Shuangling's route is different every time. No one except the owner knows the entire voyage of the ship. However, the next stopping point has been decided, and it should be Feihong World."

Having said this, Master Jinglian felt a bit sorry and quickly added: "Senior, don't be anxious. Although I don't know when I will arrive at the Black Sand Realm, according to convention, there will generally be no more than a hundred Hengsha Realms passing by along the way. Now our ship There are already seventy-two Hengsha Realms that we have stopped at, so we should not be far from the Black Sand Realm."

When Zhao Sheng heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Jing, I still want to know..."

While the two were asking and answering questions, one after another impressive "passengers" came to the Yin Yang Bagua Pavilion, and the eight seats were quickly filled.

As the number of people increased, the atmosphere in the pavilion quickly became lively, and Zhao Sheng suddenly became the target of everyone's compliments.

Most of the day flies by, twilight falls, and the lake surface sparkles.

The guests in the pavilion left one after another, and in the end only Master Jinglian remained.

He sat on the futon and pondered for a long time, then took out the jade slips and recorded everything he saw and heard during the day in the jade slips. Finally, the figure suddenly turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared without a trace.

…

As time slowly passed, Zhao Sheng followed the Shuangling and flew across the virtual sea outside the territory for thousands of years, and saw with his own eyes the world of Hengsha with different scenery and people.

Three years passed by in a flash.

On this day, the Shuangling slowly entered a "storm calm zone", and then the hull burst out with bright colorful streams of light. In an instant, it broke through the time and space barrier and traveled from the dark sky to a dark and vast outer void.

At this time, millions of miles away directly in front of the spacecraft, a huge planet occupying half of the void suddenly appeared. The planet's atmosphere was gray, and it could be seen from the gaps in the clouds. The continents were overall yellowish black, and they looked like a whole. The color is dark, but it seems to reveal an indescribable heaviness and desolation.

This planet is the Black Sand World!

Not long after, a thousand-foot beam of light shot out from the center of Shuangling, and a thin and old figure quickly flew down from the end of the beam. It was Zhao Sheng.

He quickly turned into a ray of light and flew towards the black sand world millions of miles away.

At the same time, streaks of escaping light hurriedly flew out from the ubiquitous dark background, and soon flew into the light pillars one after another, forming a sharp contrast with the departing Zhao Sheng.

Because he was in a strange and foreign land, Zhao Sheng did not activate time and space movement, but flew in the air honestly.

It took him half an hour to fly to the edge of the planet's atmosphere.

As soon as he crossed this boundary membrane, Zhao Sheng immediately felt a deep sense of familiarity in his heart. Unconsciously, an extremely comfortable feeling of relaxation emerged from his body and mind to the depths of his blood, as if "a wanderer returning to his hometown".

Even the spiritual body became much more lively and agile in an instant, and his spiritual consciousness suddenly increased by one point, which gave him a big surprise.

Zhao Sheng exhaled a long pillar of air, and the surrounding extremely sharp and powerful wind immediately blew away the pillar of air.

He looked down at the vast land below. The Gobi sand and rocks were everywhere, and the sky was dim and desolate.
