Ascension Through Generations

When Zhao Sheng saw that everyone was silent, he snorted coldly: "Huh? No one said anything. Could it be that everyone is opposed to it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone couldn't bear the huge pressure and jumped out of the crowd first, saying flatteringly: "Juniors raise their hands in agreement! Seniors have a broad mind and don't want to commit more crimes. Juniors admire this very much and have great respect for seniors. His admiration is like a torrential river..."

No one expected that the first person to speak out would be Zhan Xin, who had the toughest attitude before.

This person's inconsistent and despicable behavior shocked all the great monks and regarded him as a shame. Even the long-lasting reputation of the God of War Palace plummeted after this incident, and the impact was extremely far-reaching.

Zhao Sheng admired this man's knowledge of current affairs, so he deliberately nodded at him to show encouragement. At the same time, his eyes became cold and he began to look at other people one by one.

With Zhan Xin stepping forward to set an example, the other great monks no longer felt any pressure and nodded or spoke.

There is a very interesting phenomenon in this process, that is, the more people who advocated encirclement and suppression before, the more respectful their attitude will be and their speech will be more explicit and straightforward.

To put it bluntly, these Nascent Soul monks are all a bunch of people who are afraid of death, and no one wants to be the "chicken" who kills chickens and scares monkeys.

Ever since!

In just one day, most of the Nascent Soul cultivators in the black sand world became the victims of Zhao Sheng.

From that day on, there was a legendary story of someone who single-handedly blackmailed the whole world, and it also set an extremely bad example for future generations.

In the tens of thousands of years that followed, there were many deity-incarnation kings in the Black Sand World who "regardless of their moral integrity" and imitated the feats of their predecessors, and they all used the nickname "Phantom Thief" to succeed frequently. This made the world of immortal cultivators miserable and full of complaints in later generations.

Of course, these are all things for later.

…

Almost at the same time, the top sects in the Black Sand World such as Ares Palace, Wuque Palace, Shenmen Sect, and Wanfou Sect received urgent messages from the ancestors of their respective sects.

When they learned that the two true monarchs of Heaven and Earth Mother had been killed at the same time, and that all the attending monks had become prisoners of that one, the Nascent Souls of various factions who were left guarding the mountain gate were immediately shocked and dumbfounded. They simply couldn't believe that one. How could the true king do such an act of defiance?

However, the facts are in front of everyone who knows about it, and all the major sects have to lower their heads and open their treasure houses to collect the treasures for redemption as quickly as possible.

After all, the redemption price given by Zhao Sheng was very fair. All calculations are based on the level of cultivation. Those who have cultivated to the seventh level of Nascent Soul will have to pay one hundred and fifty top-quality spiritual stones or treasures of equivalent value, with priority given to treasures containing the power of time and space. In addition, there are hundreds of strands of Xuanying Origin Qi,

If it is the eighth level, there will be fifty more rays of Xuanying Origin Qi.

As for the peak monks of the ninth level of Nascent Soul, they all have the same price: three hundred strands of Xuanying Origin Qi and a top-quality Sumeru stone that is larger than a head.

In this way, it is certain that the major sects will be bleeding heavily this time, but it cannot be said to be a loss of fortune.

After getting rid of the Heavenly and Wild Earth Mother, the Black Sand Realm no longer has the True Monarch of God Transformation stationed in the world. Zhao Sheng has been able to claim to dominate the world and has few opponents!

Therefore, when he proposed the ransom money, all the Nascent Soul monks did not even dare to hesitate, and they all nodded in agreement on the spot.

In less than three days, monks who were in the early stages of the Nascent Soul Realm hurriedly flew from the lower realms to the void outside the realm, and arrived at Juque City one after another. They successfully met the great monks of their respective sects.

Zhao Sheng had no intention of embarrassing others. He only wanted to hand over the valuable treasures used to redeem his life and let him come and go freely after the matter was completed.

Half a month later, the last great monk also left Juque City in eclipse.

After that day, Zhao Sheng quietly left with an unimaginable amount of spiritual stones.

As soon as he left, the tense and oppressive atmosphere in Juque City suddenly disappeared, and the residents of the city finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, the legendary deeds of the Phantom Thief Lord soon spread in the city, and they have been sung for thousands of years.

Until the giant city fell to the mainland and the black sand world became a foreign colonial world. The legendary story about the Phantom Thief Lord was buried in the ashes of history, waiting for future generations to rediscover this bizarre legend one day.

…

I don’t know how many years have passed since I secluded myself from the world and practiced cultivation. It has been more than ten years in a flash.

On the Bone Mountain in the center of Black King City, a new round of joining sacrificial rituals is going on in an orderly manner.

Accompanied by bursts of ancient and mysterious curses, a magnificent and evil divine light filled the entire altar. More than thirty survivors were shrouded in divine light, with painful and twisted expressions on their faces, trying their best to maintain the last trace of their consciousness.

From time to time, some people are washed away by the torrent of consciousness, and their sanity completely collapses, eventually becoming a flesh man.

No one knew that there was a figure hiding in the void to the west of the altar, and could see the process of the sacrificial ceremony below.

Zhao Sheng wore the Kui Niu treasure on his head and stood suspended in the air. His eyes were staring at the skull statue with a bit of surprise in his eyes.

At this moment, with the blessing of Kui Niu's Noble Phantasm, he finally got a glimpse of the "truth" of the Skeleton Statue through his surge in spiritual consciousness.

At this moment, the skull statue was surrounded by a layer of white light that was as light as "clear smoke".

The whole body of the statue is flashing with pure white light spots that are neither real nor imaginary. They are densely packed like stars in the sky. If you look closely, they are surprisingly similar to the distribution of the main orifices around the human body.

Zhao Sheng glanced around and quickly identified the number of white spots on the skull statue, a total of 2,876.

This amount was far beyond his knowledge.

What was even more surprising was that the longer he stared at the statue, he felt that the aura emitted by the statue was increasing rapidly at an alarming rate. Soon it exceeded the limit of becoming a god, emitting a world-destroying pressure that dominated the world.

You must know that Zhao Sheng has been here more than ten times and secretly observed the sacrificial rituals seven or eight times, but he has never realized that this skeleton statue actually hides such a terrifying "secret".

With his strength, he was unable to withstand this pressure, and almost subconsciously wanted to condense the Kui Niu Dharma (will into form) to resist this world-destroying pressure.

"There's only one thing wrong with this kind of pressure!" At this moment, Zhao Sheng's mind was shaken, and he immediately got rid of the bewitchment of the Noble Phantasm, and forcibly suppressed the strong desire to condense Kui Niu's Dharma.

At this moment, he suddenly vaguely sensed that there was a sudden wave of alternative consciousness in the body of the statue. This wave seemed chaotic, but also seemed to have some indescribable order, and the main body of the chaotic consciousness seemed to be waking up from a deep sleep. , its sense of existence quickly became clear from nothingness.

"No, what exactly is the Skeleton Statue? Is it a puppet, or a back-up plan arranged by a powerful person in the spiritual world, or the work of a certain force in the spiritual world?"

Zhao Sheng was keenly aware that there was a shocking secret hidden behind this skull statue, and the truth was being revealed to him.

After a breath, the soaring pressure of will suddenly stopped, and two balls of pure white flame suddenly appeared in the eyes of the skull statue, awe-inspiring.

At this moment, the statue came to life, but except for Zhao Sheng, no one on the altar noticed its existence, including the deputy city master of Nascent Soul who presided over the sacrifice.

"Who is peeping in the dark, get out of here!" The statue's eyes shot out two invisible rays of light, which instantly fell on Zhao Sheng, who was hiding, making him unable to hide.

Zhao Sheng's heart trembled, and he raised his head to look at the statue, and then his body swayed and disappeared without a trace.

The next moment, his figure appeared out of thin air in front of the statue, hanging above everyone's heads.

The Deputy City Lord of Nascent Soul, who presided over the sacrifice, immediately became furious when he saw a stranger appearing at the most sacred sacrifice ceremony, and was about to capture this person.

But the moment he saw the Kui Niu mask, the man was immediately frightened and helpless. His anger disappeared instantly, and his fear increased greatly!

The moment Zhao Sheng appeared, the dazzling divine light that filled the altar immediately dissipated, and the orb also converged all its light, turning into a crystal clear pupil.

"If you don't want to die, get out now!"

Zhao Sheng's startled shout, like Hong Zhong Dalu, instantly woke everyone up from confusion, and then everyone fled from the altar and ran down the mountain.

As for the Nascent Soul Realm deputy city lord, although he desperately wanted to escape, he was still on the spot at the moment, with his hands hanging on his sides, unable to move. There was despair and inexplicable expectation in his eyes.

Zhao Sheng ignored this person. At this moment, all his will and mind were focused on the skull statue, and he was having an invisible battle of wills with the other person.

The battle between wills is extremely dangerous, and the outcome can often be decided in an instant!

But with the protection of the Kui Niu Treasure, Zhao Sheng managed to survive even though it was very dangerous.

A moment later, the dim sky of Lingdao suddenly became darker, as if night had fallen, and there was a faint and heavy pressure.

This pressure is as high as the sky, as heavy as the earth, mighty and irresistible.

"This is the breath of heaven!" Zhao Sheng's heart suddenly moved, and his expression changed.

This heavy ancient energy that is about to come is very similar to the vision before the bloody face of Heaven appeared in the previous life.

Zhao Sheng had an unforgettable memory of this kind of heavenly aura, and he was confident that he would never make a mistake in his memory!

The deputy city lord of Nascent Soul was standing under the statue. Although he was only swept away by the aftermath of the coercion of heaven, his legs could not help but tremble and his face turned pale.

The next moment, a pure white flame suddenly flew out from the statue and fell on the person. In an instant, the person's whole body was swallowed up by the flame and disappeared silently from this world.

Immediately afterwards, the pure white flames twisted for a while, and slowly condensed into a pure white strange figure. This figure had three heads and six arms, which was very similar to the god's residence.

Among the three heads, the left head is that of a baby, the right head is that of an old man, and the middle head is that of a majestic-looking middle-aged man.

Both the baby and the old man were asleep. Only the middle-aged head stared at Zhao Sheng with bright eyes, as if he was looking at something bizarre.

After this strange figure appeared, the heavenly aura that filled the sky suddenly stagnated, as if it had lost its sense of a certain existence.

But over Lingdao, the sky was still pitch black, and large black clouds emerged out of thin air and spread rapidly in all directions, giving a scene of an imminent disaster. .

The Black King's city was in chaos. Dozens of escaping lights flew from all over the city. But as soon as they approached the White Bone Mountain, all the escaping lights turned around in a hurry and fled away from the island at a faster speed.

"Weird and weird! Although he has not yet ascended, he has already awakened his original spiritual consciousness, and his will is so strong. It is simply unbelievable! If you can join my Red Eyebrow Dao, you will be able to soar into the sky in the future, and you will be able to become an immortal Taoist ancestor just around the corner." The middle-aged head looked at him. After looking at Zhao Sheng for a while, he suddenly exclaimed with greedy eyes.

"Are you a human or a ghost?" Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed and he asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, a slight "chichi" sound suddenly sounded in the sky. The dark clouds in the sky suddenly rolled violently and rotated rapidly in a certain direction, and continued to converge towards the middle, forming a huge vortex. I don't know. What a large area it covers.

Strips of crimson thunder and lightning emerged from everywhere in the whirlpool, traveling vertically and horizontally, as brilliant as fireworks, illuminating the spiritual island below.

Boom!

A terrifying pressure that was countless times greater than before came out from the depths of the vortex, and the nearby void shook violently and twisted.

There was no way to avoid that strange white shadow, which was pressed directly against him by this huge pressure and almost torn apart in an instant.

It seems to be some kind of taboo existence that will never be allowed by heaven to exist in this world.

"What a thief! When I come back to life again, sooner or later I will destroy the laws of the sky and rebuild my red-browed avenue!" The middle-aged man raised his head to the sky and cursed God angrily, with an unusually ferocious face.

However, its aura weakened sharply, its size shrank to only the size of a fist, and in the blink of an eye it was as weak as nothing!

At this time, more than a hundred white dots on the skull statue suddenly collapsed, and torrents of gray thoughts overflowed from them, and in the blink of an eye they were all wiped out.

When Zhao Sheng saw this, he suddenly remembered something, and a look of horror immediately appeared in his eyes.

This kind of weird existence is not a banished immortal, but the nature of the two is similar!

Previously, Zhao Sheng had obtained some information about the upper world from Wuwu Tower, including the two major evil forces among the evil heretics: the Red Eyebrow Dao and the Green Forest Dao.

He learned from Su Lie that the devils on the Red Eyebrow Path were all a bunch of lunatics, a bunch of lunatics who dreamed of joining the path and ascending to the world!

In fact, he should have thought of it a long time ago. After all, the people of the Red Eyebrow Dao like to engage in these magical things, and they have always liked to promote the ideas of the Red Eyebrow Dao in the name of preaching.

The Black King City was undoubtedly a missionary site, but it had just been remodeled, so Zhao Sheng did not expect this.

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng looked up at the white figure with three heads and six arms, feeling deep disgust in his heart.

The "person" with three heads and six arms in front of him has actually fallen into the dead countless times.

However, the red-browed demons all upload their "personal memories" to the red-browed avenue. Even if their bodies die, they can still wake up from the chaos by absorbing the vitality and spirit of all living beings. And based on the most powerful fragments of consciousness in the statue, a new personality will be constructed.

In a sense, all demons of the Red Eyebrow Path are immortal, which can be regarded as a kind of alternative immortality!

However, they may not even be human, and are quite similar to the Six Desire Demons in nature!
