Ascension Through Generations

In the Nine Nether Realm, the dark sky is chaotic and misty.

This is a huge vortex with a diameter of countless thousands of miles, slowly rotating. Compared with the violent space-time vortex on the periphery, the "eye of the storm" in the center is obviously much calmer.

At some point, a figure appeared silently in the depths of the "eye of the storm".

At this time, the crystal-clear mountain peaks were suspended in the void in front of them. They were quietly blooming with various colors of rays of light, and countless immortal seal rune patterns continued to emerge from the rays of light.

These crystal clear peaks are very strange. They are actually turned upside down, with their peaks hanging upside down and their roots flattened into towers covering an area of ​​nearly a hundred miles.

A careful count shows that there are eighty-one such upside-down crystal peaks, which exactly correspond to the eighty-one array pillars of the ascension platform.

Looking at the crystal peak formation in front of him, Zhao Sheng's eyes were a bit fiery. It was the first time since his reincarnation until today that he had seen the complete appearance of the Ascension Formation with his own eyes.

There is no doubt that the eighty-one crystal peaks in front of you are the most important formation base of the Ascension Formation. The Ascension Platform is only a small part of it that is displayed on the surface.

Zhao Sheng's figure flashed, and he instantly landed on a crystal peak altar. He quickly sat down cross-legged, and then his eyebrows glowed.

The vastness of his divine thoughts expanded, covering the crystal peak beneath him in the blink of an eye.

In an instant, countless immortal seal rune patterns surged into his mind like a torrent, and then quickly constructed thousands of obscure formation nodes.

Not long after, the crystal peak gradually lit up, and the rays of light all over the peak were just like the rising sun, quickly illuminating the surrounding darkness.

Zhao Sheng was immersed in the pleasure of analyzing the secrets of the Ascension Formation and forgot about the passage of time.

A month goes by in a blink of an eye.

On this day, Zhao Sheng suddenly woke up and his mind was instantly separated from the secrets of the endless array.

It turned out that just now, the distraction that was left on the ascension platform touched his mind, reminding him that Zhao Dingshan had arrived as scheduled.

Zhao Sheng stood up slowly, stretched his muscles, and then disappeared into thin air.

As soon as he ascended to the stage, Zhao Dingshan immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Dingshan has seen Xizu!"

Zhao Sheng glanced around and felt enlightened.

This time, not only Zhao Dingshan came to the Ascension Platform, but there were also three men and one woman and four Nascent Soul cultivators.

"Dingshan, who are they...?"

As soon as they finished speaking, the four of them took a step forward, turned over and kowtowed at the same time, and shouted in unison:

"Xian Zhao, a member of the Tianzhu Zhao clan, pays homage to Xizu!"

"Zhao Dingmeng, a member of the Tianzhu Zhao clan's Ding generation, pays homage to Xizu!"

"Tianzhu Zhao Zhao Dingpian, pay your respects to Xizu!"

"...Zhao Luolan, meet Xizu!"

Zhao Sheng accepted the kowtow ceremony from the four people generously, and then said calmly: "Without ceremony, all of you, please get up!"

The four of them stood up one after another and stood respectfully half a step behind Zhao Dingshan, listening to Xizu's teachings.

Because of Zhao Sheng, the three remaining elders of the Ding generation in the Tianzhu Zhao family actually appeared at the Ascending Platform at the same time. This move was of great significance, which meant that the various Zhao clans that had been divided for many years were showing signs of returning to the clan and merging.

Zhao Sheng spent half an hour communicating with the four people and giving guidance on their practice. Then he took out the storage bags he had prepared and distributed them to the four of them.

Half an hour later, with excitement and ecstasy in their arms, the four of them bid farewell to Xizu and Zhao Dingshan, and left the ascension platform one after another.

From this day on, the speed at which the various clans of the Zhao family merged greatly accelerated, and some of the elite clansmen scattered across the continents rushed to Tianzhu Mountain as quickly as possible, hoping to ascend the Ascension Platform to meet Xizu.

Unfortunately, the ascension platform is too high and dangerous, and only the ancestor of Nascent Soul can reach here. The Zhao family's Jindan masters have been waiting eagerly in the mountain city for many years, but they have never had the chance to see Xizu.

Of course, this is something for later, so let’s not mention it now.

With the first success, Zhao Sheng's second refining went even more smoothly.

It only took him more than half a year to integrate Zhao Dingshan's Nascent Soul and Lingshu, and then spent a day to install the Lingshu into the Lingpuppet.

Zhao Dingshan, who was reborn, stayed on the ascension platform for three months.

After he fully adapted to his new body, Zhao Sheng kicked him out of the ascension platform, and then started studying the ascension formation again.

Spring goes and autumn comes, time flies!

Just when Zhao was figuring out the secrets of the Ascension Formation bit by bit, time seemed to press the accelerator button.

Before I knew it, more than forty years had passed.

…

"Great Elder, I wonder when Xizu will be released from seclusion?"

"Yes! It's been more than forty years. Why has Xizu been hiding on the ascension platform and not showing up? Has he already left?"

"Brother Dingshan, why don't you go to the Ascension Platform again? With your qualifications, Xizu will not avoid seeing you."

"Well, a bunch of Jindan juniors have been making noises recently, saying that we old guys deliberately prevented them from seeing Xizu. Do you think these little bastards want to turn the world upside down?"

"Fair, fair! It's not easy to say that we want to share such a small amount of cultivation resources fairly! If the various factions continue to quarrel like this, the old lady will have to give up her career."

"Lan Mei, don't be angry. I will punish those disobedient juniors severely when I go back, and I won't embarrass you! But having said that, Zhongzong has taken such a huge advantage, should I use some of my cultivation resources to share with you? Other branches can also appease the injustice and anger of the clan members."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Changjin, who had only been promoted to Nascent Soul for less than ten years, couldn't sit still and hurriedly shouted: "This is wrong! The ancestor of Dingshan has made such a big sacrifice for the family, and my Zhongzong will get more resources. , and it's reasonable. Besides, Zhongzong has put a lot of cultivation resources into the clan's treasury before, and even took the initiative to open the Mountain City and Dongtian City to the major sects. Zhongzong has paid so much, all the elders can't help but turn a blind eye."

Zhao Changjin came from the Zhongzong clan of the Zhao family, so he naturally wanted to speak for his family.

In the Tongxin Hall, Zhao Daxian, Zhao Dingpian and other four Nascent Soul Supreme Elders secretly glanced at each other, then invariably looked at the huge figure sitting at the top.

Today, more than 40 years later, Zhao Dingshan has become increasingly "taciturn", often not saying a word for ten days and a half.

However, once he said something, the other five Yuanyings of the Zhao family had absolutely no objections. This was the card of the Yuan Shenling Puppet.

Even after more than forty years, the four great Nascent Souls still clearly remember the shocking scene of that year.

Back then, Zhao Dingshan only showed a trace of coercion and suppressed the four Nascent Souls until they could not move. The fear of death remained in the hearts of the four people forever.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Dingshan suddenly spoke, his voice as cold as metal: "Xizu. Retreat. No one is allowed to disturb you!"

When Zhao Daxian and others heard this, their expressions changed slightly, and they were immediately speechless.

…

Late at night, there was no one on the ascension platform.

Thousands of starlight are scattered all over the sky, falling on the surface of the crystal array pillars, reflecting countless colorful streams of light.

Zhao Sheng quietly appeared under the Ascension Tower, stroking the smooth tower wall with his hand, carefully feeling the power of law surging inside the tower.

The Ascension Tower is undoubtedly the "eye" of this Ascension Formation, but it is a pity that irreparable damage has occurred inside.

Unless it is demolished and rebuilt, this Ascension Formation will be considered scrapped.

Although he generally mastered the secrets of the Ascension Formation, it would be difficult for him to build an identical formation from scratch.

After all, he lacked too many necessary treasures of heaven and earth, as well as the most important crystallization of the laws of time and space.

Zhao Sheng retracted his right hand, looked up at the stars, and quickly turned his gaze to the east.

That's where the sun rises!

In a sudden flash of light, Zhao Sheng had moved away from the ascension platform, and he didn't know where he was going in an instant.

In an extraterrestrial void tens of billions of miles away from the Tianzhu Realm, a figure appeared out of thin air.

Zhao Sheng stood in the air, raised his head and stared towards the east, only to see a blazing bright fireball coming into view thousands of miles ahead.

It is the ruler of this galaxy, and so is the sun!

The next moment, Zhao Sheng moved away again.

After three consecutive time-space shifts, his vision was filled with an endless world of blazing white flames.

No matter which angle you look at it, there is a blazing and dazzling endless sea of ​​fire ahead.

Although it is still millions of miles away from the surface of the sun, the surrounding void is already filled with unimaginable high temperatures. Here, the thousand-year-old black iron can completely vaporize without even taking a single breath.

Boom ~

Looking around, a huge "bulge" with a diameter of unknown tens of thousands of miles suddenly bulged somewhere in the endless sea of ​​fire.

The next second, the "drum bag" exploded, and the roar it released actually broke through the limitations of the vacuum environment, erupting into a loud roar that tore through the void.

At the same time, a huge "tongue of fire" that was so huge that he couldn't see the end suddenly rose into the sky from the sea of ​​​​fire below, occupying his entire field of vision for a while.

Zhao Sheng's expression changed and he disappeared out of thin air in an instant, narrowly avoiding being engulfed by tongues of fire.

Tens of billions of miles away, others emerged again, and below was still the boundless sea of ​​blazing white fire.

Looking around, blossoming golden crow true fires rise from the sea of ​​​​fire from time to time, and swim freely in the mid-air, ups and downs.

With Zhao Sheng's current state, the Golden Crow True Fire can no longer enter his eyes, unless what appears below is the Divine Fire-level Great Sun Divine Flame.

After waiting for a moment, he found that the sea of ​​​​fire here was "relatively" calm.

Zhao Sheng nodded slightly, then waved his right hand, and saw a bunch of broken spiritual soldiers falling from the sky, and fell into the sea of ​​fire in the blink of an eye.

Visible to the naked eye, pieces of remnant soldiers slowly melted into balls of bright silver "liquid metal."

As soon as the traces of impurities were precipitated, they were instantly vaporized by the high temperature.

In less than a cup of tea, the "liquid spiritual gold" had shrunk by more than half, turning into a ball of white gold, about the size of a head.

Zhao Sheng was sweating like rain, and the will force field covering his body continued to become thinner and darker.

In just one cup of tea, 80% of the original will was consumed, and it seemed that he could no longer hold on.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Sheng made a decisive decision and immediately picked up the "liquid spiritual gold", hurriedly put it into the Sumeru space to cool down, and then moved it away out of thin air.

He moved tens of billions of miles away again and returned to the cold and silent outer void. The sun turned into a big fireball again.

After being far away from the surface of the sun, Zhao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of fear on his face.

He did not expect that as a half-immortal returning to the void, he could not even set foot on the surface of the sun. Just the extreme high temperature environment outside forced him to retreat quickly.

"...Terrible!" Zhao Sheng stared at the sun for a long time before slowly spitting out two words.

After repairing for half a month, Zhao Sheng returned to the surface of the sun and dropped various spiritual gold ores and a large number of magic weapons into the sea of ​​fire again and again.

Most of the spiritual gold was directly vaporized, leaving only a little "essence" that he fished back in time. If it were too late, even this "essence" would be vaporized.

After doing this several times, nearly one-fifth of the Xumi space was cleared, and all that was gained was a "hill" that was more than ten feet high.

As the number of entries and exits increased, Zhao Sheng gradually adapted to the high temperature environment outside the sun, and would get a little closer to the surface of the sun each time.

Three years passed by in a flash.

On this day, over a "calm" sea of ​​fire on the surface of the sun, a colorful circular flying disk was quietly suspended.

Zhao Sheng sat in the center of the disk, making spells with both hands, and shot out a series of aura spells towards the mountain-like cauldron in front of him.

At this time, the Immortal Jue Cauldron became extremely huge and looked like a mountain.

A ball of liquid platinum is attached to the broken leg of the tripod. The platinum is gradually deforming under the influence of will, and gradually turns into a thick tripod leg.

Densely packed ancient symbols continue to appear on the surface of the tripod. They are inexplicably connected to each other, and they actually fluctuate and solidify one by one according to certain laws.

After more than a hundred breaths, the broken legs of the tripod were quickly repaired, and the Immortal Enlightenment Cauldron suddenly shone brightly, and the buzzing sound resounded in all directions.

Zhao Sheng looked pale and hurriedly stretched out his hand towards the Baoding. He saw the Immortal Jue Cauldron shrank sharply and instantly turned into a white light that flew into his sleeve.

After collecting the treasure tripod, Zhao Sheng did not dare to stop any longer. He immediately put away the five-piece treasure tray, then triggered a great shift in time and space and disappeared from the place in an instant.

…

Two years later, Zhao Sheng once again set foot in the spring life world.

When he returned this time, he did not go to the Yunwu Mountains, but came directly to the Central Continent. The Ascension Formation of this world is at the bottom of Wuliang Lake in the east of the continent.

Compared with the one in the Tianzhu Realm, the Ascension Formation at the bottom of Wuliang Lake is obviously intact. Its Ascension Tower is full of brilliance, and there are at least two thousand strands of Xuanying Origin Qi flowing inside.

Zhao Sheng's sudden arrival immediately made the True Lord of God who was guarding the formation feel like he was facing a powerful enemy.

However, this person was quickly thrown out of the formation by Zhao Sheng, and he was unable to move for a while.

Not long after, the man's expression changed drastically, and he watched helplessly as a dazzling beam of light soared into the sky from within the formation and disappeared into the vast shadow behind the void.

In just one breath, the light beam suddenly dissipated, and a crackling sound suddenly came from the ascension formation.

The True Lord of Divine Transformation was so frightened that his face turned pale. He just waited for his body to regain freedom, and immediately rushed into the ascension platform in panic.

Then, at a glance, he saw that nearly one-third of the array column's surface had dense cracks.

The Ascension Tower became even more dim, and all the Xuanying Origin Qi accumulated in the tower disappeared.

Seeing this scene, the man's vision suddenly went dark, he staggered to sit on the ground, and soon he was about to burst into tears and cursed: "You beast that kills a thousand swords, you beast! Why am I so unlucky! What will happen to me in the future?" Ascend!"
