Ascension Through Generations

Facts have proved that his hunch was not groundless.

As expected, Yan Wuxiu did not pursue the question in detail. After casually asking a few questions about the red-browed demon, he ended the interview hastily.

Especially not a word was mentioned about Zhao Sheng's dereliction of duty!

Such a big thing ended in a hasty manner, which was quite anticlimactic.

From the attitude shown by Yan Wuxiu, Zhao Sheng vaguely sensed that this matter was not simple, and that there were many hidden secrets behind it, and it was likely to involve some grudges and disputes between the Jiuwen Xianzong and the Red Eyebrow Dao.

Yan Wuxiu seemed to be busy with some important matter, so he did not stay in the Taoist temple for a while. After handing a storage bag to his apprentice, he hurriedly flew into the Xuyuan Well, never to return.

Zhao Sheng looked at the dark and deep "wellhead" with a solemn expression, and did not look away for a long time.

Zhang Fengxian slowly floated closer and asked softly: "Master, was it 'Master Yan' who left just now?"

"Feng'er, my master didn't mention you to Master Yan just now, do you have any complaints?" Zhao Sheng said in a calm tone without looking back.

"Fengxian, why are you resentful? Master must have a deep meaning when he does this!"

After Zhao Sheng heard this, he suddenly changed his voice to his spiritual voice: "You are a banished immortal, and it is not appropriate to come into contact with the powerful master of the Fusion Realm too early. If Master Yan accidentally sees a clue, the result will be unpredictable!"

"Master has worked hard, and my disciple will remember it in his heart! In this case, it doesn't matter if you don't enter the inner mountain gate!"

"You have to enter the inner mountain gate, but the ranking of this competition needs to be carefully considered. The top ten in the competition are too dazzling, which is not good! Just choose around eighty or ninety!"

Zhang Fengxian glanced at the master secretly and said in a low voice: "Disciple, I will obey the master's instructions. After entering the inner mountain gate, you must hide your strength and bide your time until the future comes."

"Oh, the future is so long!" Zhao Sheng sighed softly, as if he thought of something.

………

Three months later, there was a golden plain somewhere in the Antarctic of Dakunzhou.

The surface of this plain is actually covered with endless yellow rocks. The large and small rocks are as golden as gold. Under the sunlight, they bloom with sparkling golden light, which is very noble.

In the sky above the golden plain, a green auspicious cloud flew forward extremely quickly. The speed was astonishing, far faster than the escaping light of ordinary god-transformation monks.

Deep in the auspicious cloud is a huge jade turtle with a blue and white body and a diameter of one hundred feet. The whole body of this beast seems to be carved from the finest jade. It looks lifelike and majestic.

On top of the giant tortoise shell, there were more than a dozen figures sitting cross-legged. The one sitting at the front was majestic, with a handsome and serious face. It was Zhao Sheng who led the team to participate in the Hundred Academy Competition.

On the side behind him, Zhang Fengxian was wearing a flame fairy skirt, closing her eyes and regulating her breath. Behind her appeared the illusion of a gorgeous and noble phoenix, surrounded by nine-color true flames, flying up and down, extremely beautiful.

It has been more than half a month since the group left Nanyue Castle, the fairy city in the southernmost part of Honshu.

For so many days, everyone has been flying south day and night on this Qingxuan puppet turtle. They have flown countless thousands of miles, but they have never seen the legendary Nanyue Linghai.

But counting the time, we should almost reach the edge of the spiritual sea!

An hour later, Zhang Fengxian slowly opened his eyes, with a serious look on his face, and suddenly said: "Master, it's been almost a day and a night, and the group of demon birds haven't given up yet and have been following behind. Master, do you want to take action?" Kill them."

At this moment, hundreds of miles away behind Qingxuan Puppet Turtle, a red cloud covering the sky was rolling and chasing after him like lightning.

As the red clouds changed and rolled, countless fiery red vultures as huge as elephants and with hideous and ugly appearances loomed in the clouds, giving people the feeling of being killed by thousands of troops.

At the front of the vulture army was a two-headed monster vulture that was a hundred feet long and red as blood. This beast was so majestic that it looked like a god-level demon king.

The two-headed monster vulture will sometimes roar loudly, and often countless red lights will burst out from its mouth. The nearby vultures will also scream strangely in unison, and the red clouds that fill hundreds of miles will roll forward like an angry wave. The group's escape speed immediately increased by nearly half, and the distance to the puppet turtle in front quickly shortened to within a hundred miles.

The two-headed monster eagle has successfully refined the crossbones, and its intelligence is the same as that of ordinary people.

Seeing that the fat was almost reaching his mouth, the vulture demon king suddenly sprayed red light from his mouth in excitement and shouted at the same time: "Quack, you guys, hurry up! The king will take you to taste human flesh!"

In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides continued to close rapidly, which made Chen Yipei, Niu Qianshan and other Jindan disciples turn pale and look at the master of the hospital in front of them with great anxiety.

At this moment, a fierce light flashed in the eyes of the two-headed monster vulture, and a pair of huge fleshy wings fiercely fanned forward.

The next second, a terrifying scene appeared!

The surrounding fiery red demonic clouds instantly became dozens of times brighter, and a scorching sun thousands of feet high emerged from the red clouds and shot out, rolling towards the people in front.

The temperature of the void within a radius of a hundred miles increased sharply, the space was burned and distorted, and countless golden rocks on the surface melted into golden magma visibly with the naked eye.

The scorching sun was approaching quickly, reaching the top of everyone's heads in an instant and falling sharply.

"presumptuous!"

At the critical moment, Zhao Sheng suddenly shouted angrily, but saw a purple thunder ball as big as his head soared into the sky from his hand, and disappeared into the blazing sun.

In an instant, the void shook violently, and a huge black hole suddenly emerged from the depths of the blazing sun, quickly devouring everything around it.

The black hole instantly expanded to a size of thirty miles. Not only did it swallow up the blazing sun in one fell swoop, it also stood in front of the group of demon vultures, blocking their way.

"Quack, don't even think about escaping!" Seeing this, the two-headed strange eagle at the back screamed angrily. It quickly flapped its wings and blew out bursts of red light.

Round after round of blazing suns were born from the demonic clouds, and rolled over Zhao Sheng and others one after another.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng's pupils shrank, his right hand suddenly expanded tenfold, and a three-foot thunder sword that was as solid as amethyst condensed in his palm.

The thunder sword flashed away, and a long black crack suddenly opened in the void nearby.

"cut!"

Zhao Sheng stood up, turned around and stared calmly at the group of eagle demons that were chasing behind him. After a low shout, he slashed out with his right hand.

As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of purple lightning struck the back of the two-headed monster vulture, easily splitting its monster body into two, and the monster blood suddenly spilled onto the ground like a waterfall.

As the two halves of the demonic corpses fell to the ground, the fiery red demonic vultures in the red clouds suddenly screamed in terror, and they all huddled together, then circled and scurried around in place, not daring to move forward at all.

Two earth-shaking loud explosions exploded, and the two halves of the demon corpse crashed onto the plain below.

The ground shook for a while, and blazing blood-red flames immediately rose up within a radius of dozens of miles, turning the earth into a sea of ​​fire.

Zhao Sheng sat down cross-legged at this moment, and continued to close his eyes and adjust his breathing without looking at the outcome of the battle behind him.

Behind him, Chen Yipei, Niu Qianshan and others were in a state of agitation. They all looked at the master of the hospital with reverence and could not calm down for a long time.

Half a day later, the vast Nanyue Linghai finally arrived. The clouds were rising on the sea, and the vast cloud waves were rolling and surging. Countless strange creatures were swimming and playing in the sea of ​​clouds, and the atmosphere was extremely mysterious.

There are four spiritual seas, ten divine continents, and countless other large and small islands and continents in Taisu Spirit Realm. The land area of ​​Da Kun Continent alone is as large as thousands of Da Chun Realms, which can be described as vast.

However, each spiritual sea is countless times larger than Dakunzhou. Even if a god-transformation monk flies continuously day and night for a hundred years, he may not be able to cross the spiritual sea.

It can be seen from this that the Taisu spiritual world is huge!

…

After the Qingxuan Puppet Turtle penetrated millions of miles into the spiritual sea, it quickly sank into the sea and continued to fly towards the deep sea.

After diving nearly ten thousand miles deep, everyone finally reached the edge of the equatorial ring. Below was a vast white wall of light, which seemed flat and smooth, like an endless plane.

In fact, this vast wall of light is a circular barrier, but because the whole is so huge, it looks like a flat surface at a close distance.

Above the white light wall, there is a magnificent palace suspended. The palace covers an area of ​​hundreds of acres. There are thousands of formation pillars around it, all made of a kind of jet black crystal stone.

This crystal is smooth and clear, like the finest black crystal, emitting bursts of pure black light. It is obviously a rare item.

On each formation pillar, there are various strange relief sculptures of creatures carved. Some of the reliefs are so fierce that they make people feel frightened and uneasy at a glance.

Zhao Sheng drove the Qingxuan Puppet Turtle and landed on the huge white jade square in front of the palace. There were four huge statues standing in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the square.

These statues are extremely simple and old, with traces of battles all over their bodies, as if they have experienced countless tragic battles, giving people a heavy sense of history. As soon as I look at it, I feel a sense of security.

One of the statues is all white. It is a woman wearing a Taoist robe, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, standing with a smile, as if she is a living person, not a statue.

Zhao Sheng looked at the statue, his eyes flashing slightly.

Over the years, he has read through the collections in the Buddhist Scripture Peak and read countless historical materials of the sect, and he knows that this female statue is the founder of the sect, Tian Taoist.

Patriarch Tianwen became an immortal tens of millions of years ago and is now a legendary figure. Patriarch Tianwen has not died yet, but he has been hidden from the world for millions of years and no longer interferes with the affairs of the spiritual world.

Only when the equatorial ring is attacked by a powerful enemy from outside, Patriarch Tianwen will send down wisps of immortal thoughts, control an immortal puppet, and kill all incoming enemies!

In addition to the immortal puppet left by Patriarch Tianwen, the other three immortal puppets were also left by the True Immortal Patriarch of Jiuwen Immortal Sect.

The Taisu spiritual world is vast, but there are only eleven overlord-level sects. Since ancient times, there has been a saying of "one palace, two sects, three mountains and four seas". As for the last sect, it has not been seen in history books since ancient times, and no one has heard of it. Only the Immortal Immortal knows its name. , can be described as extremely mysterious.

The Nine Questions Immortal Sect is one of the "two sects" and is usually responsible for maintaining nearly one-tenth of the area of ​​the equatorial ring.

There are nearly a thousand floating temples like this one in front of us, each of which protects the surrounding equatorial ring that is millions of miles away.

At the same time, this temple is also the only way to enter the inner equator. There is a short-distance teleportation array arranged in the temple.

Just as Zhao Sheng and his party arrived at the shrine, other shrines also welcomed the deans and reference disciples from various Taoist temples one after another.

Calculating the time, there are still nearly ten days before the official start of the competition.

It was still early, so Zhao Sheng ordered Zhang Fengxian and ten others to move freely for the time being. He himself walked under the statue of the ancestor, trying to observe the refining techniques of the immortal puppet.

This was the first time he had seen such a legendary fairy puppet. This opportunity was rare and he must not miss it.

He stared at the statue of Patriarch Tianwen for a long time, but could not find any clues.

The power of refining such immortal puppets, the level of refining is simply beyond the sky, far beyond what he can spy on.

Maybe after staring for a long time, Zhao Sheng felt that the statue in front of him became more and more magnificent. A faint and magnificent glow bloomed on the surface of the statue. Countless and complex three-dimensional seal patterns that changed all the time were looming in the glow, but they could not be seen clearly.

"Hey! This is..." Zhao Sheng's expression changed again, his eyes fixed on those blurry three-dimensional seal patterns. The more he looked at them, the more familiar they seemed. They seemed to be... some variant of the immortal seal characters.

Back then, he received the Immortal Seal Script inheritance from the Great Sage Jin Hong. What appears now in the rays of light seems to be the Immortal Script of the same level.

It's a pity that he can't understand a word!

This made Zhao Sheng so anxious that he was afraid of missing this great opportunity.

He tried his best to memorize these seal patterns, but he had a fleeting memory, and it was still difficult to remember any three-dimensional seal patterns in his mind.

Immortal text is the embodiment of the law of the Great Dao, and its own characteristics are very similar to the true text of the Great Dao. If you don't know the law, you can't remember it no matter what.

I don't know how long he had been here, but Zhao Sheng felt a sharp pain in his head, felt his soul beating violently, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

With two hisses, two bloody "jade tendons" spurted out from his nostrils, fell into the air and vanished into nothing.

"Master, master, wake up quickly!"

At this time, a burst of anxious shouting came from his ears, and his body was shaken violently.

Zhao Sheng came to his senses in a daze, turned to his side with a pale face, and saw his apprentice Zhang Fengxian looking at him anxiously.

"It's okay, Master. I was just too absorbed in what I was watching, which consumed too much energy!" Zhao Sheng waved his hand, regained his balance, and said in a calm tone.

Zhang Fengxian breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "Master, it's okay. The competition is about to begin. Master, please enter the palace and activate the teleportation array."

"Huh? Ten days passed so quickly?" Zhao Sheng looked surprised when he heard this.

Looking at the expressions of the other nine people, it seems that so much time has really passed.

"Okay, follow me into the palace." Zhao Sheng calmed down and said to everyone.

After saying that, he strode to the palace gate, then took off the jade plaque of the courtyard master's token from his waist, and rushed to the front door to display the relief of the mythical beast.

After a buzzing sound, the door burst into brilliant light and slowly opened to both sides, revealing a gap that was two people wide.

Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he entered the hall through the gap first, followed closely by Zhang Fengxian and others, who filed in.

When everyone's figures disappeared from behind the door, the palace door closed again, and the immortal statues on all sides of the square suddenly lit up with a faint light, and there was a hint of agility in the depths of their eyes.
