Chronicles of Ascension: The Path to Immortality

Six years ago, Xianmao Valley implemented the Fire Plan.

A total of more than 2,000 Zhang clan members fled on airships.

Later, ten clan elders left 5 foundation-building pills and led several clan members from Temple Street to generously disembark and return to Xianmao Valley.

Zhang Yingda, Zhang Yingjie, Zhang Xingshan, Zhang Ji, and Zhang Hao successively took the foundation-building pills.

Except for the eighth clan elder Zhang Hao who failed and died, the other four successfully built their foundations.

Later, the locust army caught up.

Zhang Xingshan and Zhang Ji led more than 1,000 clan members to cover the rear, while Zhang Yingda and Zhang Yingjie led more than 1,000 clan members to flee.

After blocking the first wave of locusts, they bought precious time for the clan members to escape.

Zhang Xingshan and Zhang Ji led the clan members to flee for an unknown period of time and fled to the East War Zone Shelter.

A large number of clan members were lost along the way.

After arriving at the shelter, there were less than 500 clan members following Zhang Xingshan and Zhang Ji.

It is not easy to take root in the shelter.

In addition to defending against locusts, there were also open and covert struggles within the shelter for resources.

Zhang Xingshan, with his great courage, led his clansmen to gain a foothold in the shelter.

He has been looking for the lost Zhang clansmen, and has found more than 300 people intermittently.

The Zhang clansmen from Zhangjiaji huddled together for warmth.

Some died during patrols and rotations.

Some Zhang clansmen became mortals directly because of lack of resources and exhaustion of spiritual power in their sea of ​​qi.

Under the protection of Zhang Xingshan and Zhang Ji, two foundation builders, six years later, only more than 400 Zhang clansmen were left.

Before the decisive battle, many casual cultivators also joined the Zhang clan, and the number of people once reached more than 600.

Now, Zhangjiaji has been assigned a first-level inferior spiritual vein, how can everyone not cry with joy?

Zhang Xingshan wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "When things here are over, I want to go back to Fairy Cat Valley."

"Fairy Cat Valley is millions of miles away from here, maybe in the area occupied by monsters." Zhang Ji advised.

"Then I have to take a look to feel at ease, even if I can kowtow to Fairy Cat Valley from a distance, to comfort my Zhang ancestors, it can be regarded as an explanation."

"It can be regarded as an explanation..." Zhang Ji nodded, "I will go with you."

...

Danxun Mansion, Lichen Town.

On a towering mountain, there is a Fairy Cat Palace, which is very popular.

There is an endless stream of mortal tourists who come to burn incense.

"Are you serious?" Zhang Yingda still a little unbelievable.

"Uncle Ying, it's true. The defense formation of the sealed area has been cancelled. Now you can enter and exit freely." Zhang Yingjie said on the side.

"Six years, six years, finally this day has come."

"Shenxiao Sect is still recruiting independent cultivators everywhere to plant spiritual fields in the newly occupied areas of the blockade. Each Qi-refining cultivator can rent 30 mu of low-grade spiritual fields, and each foundation-building cultivator can rent 20 mu of medium-grade spiritual fields."

"Really?" Zhang Yingda was ecstatic.

"Of course it's true. Many independent cultivators have signed up to plant spiritual fields in the blockade. Do the cultivators of Zhangjiaji want to go to the blockade?"

"Go, of course we have to go. After all, the spiritual energy here is thin, there are no spiritual veins, and there are no spiritual fields. We have been struggling for six years. Now we have such a good opportunity, so we must seize it."

I still remember that at that time, Zhang Xingshan, the elder of the Nine Clans, led more than a thousand clansmen to cover the rear, and Zhang Yingda and Zhang Yingjie led more than a thousand people to escape on an airship.

When the fourth-level blockade formation was set up, the locusts could not get out, and the cultivators who escaped from the blockade could not get in either.

So, Zhang Yingda and Zhang Yingjie led more than a thousand monks from Zhangjiaji and started their wandering life.

There were more than one million monks who escaped from the blockade area.

In order to prevent these escaped monks from occupying their nests, the forces that occupied the spiritual veins outside strictly guarded against them.

In their eyes, these monks who escaped from the blockade area were more terrible than locusts.

Even if these monks volunteered to be hired farmers, not many forces were willing to accept them.

So, bloody conflicts were inevitable.

Some larger escaped forces, seeing that soft tactics didn't work, directly used hard tactics to attack some small forces.

At the beginning, the upper sect didn't care much.

However, the chaos caused later became bigger and bigger.

The upper sect began to order a ban on seizing the spiritual veins of forces outside the blockade area.

Some monks know how to make pills, make talismans, and refine weapons, and can find forces to join.

However, the more than a thousand fire seeds that escaped from Zhangjiaji, Xianmao Valley, have no skills except for planting spiritual fields.

Moreover, there are so many people.

They were all escorted out of the country with courtesy, and no force was willing to accept them.

Finally, they fled to the mortal world of Lichen Town in Danxun Prefecture, established the Fairy Cat Palace, exorcised evil spirits, sent down sweet rain, and accepted offerings from mortals, which barely made them a place to stay.

After all, there are no spiritual veins here, the spiritual energy is thin, and there are very few spiritual valleys and spiritual medicines. Many cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining have become mortals.

Fortunately, Zhang Yingda and Zhang Yingjie, two foundation-building cultivators, formed a hunting team and often went into the mountains to hunt some monsters and beasts to barely make a living.

Now there are more than 800 cultivators left.

"Alas!" Zhang Yingda sighed, "I don't know if there are any living cultivators in our Fairy Cat Valley."

Zhang Yingjie shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not optimistic. I heard that there were millions of cultivators who failed to escape from the sealed area six years ago. Now there are only hundreds of thousands of cultivators left in the shelter. Only one in ten survives. Otherwise, Shenxiao Sect would not be able to recruit scattered cultivators to cultivate spiritual fields in the newly occupied areas of the sealed area."

"Let's see. Although we have lived a hard life outside these years, we have saved some money. Even if the clansmen who stayed in the sealed area are alive, they are probably stretched to the limit. We must find the clansmen scattered in the sealed area." Zhang Ying said solemnly.

"Listen to Uncle Ying, I will notify the clansmen immediately, pack up and go to the sealed area."

...

The newly conquered territory of Tianmo Sect in the sealed area.

Wei Ruyan is practicing in the third-level thorn shelter to impact the middle stage of foundation building.

She has not left the shelter for several months, just thinking about this one-time success.

She took several first-level high-quality pills.

The spiritual power in the sea of ​​​​qi is boiling.

"Get up-"

Wei Ruyan shouted softly.

The boundary of Qi Sea expanded again.

She finally entered the middle stage of foundation building.

Wei Ruyan took a deep breath.

"The efforts of several months have finally paid off." A smile appeared on her face.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the third-level thorn shelter.

"Daoyou, are you inside? Can you come out to meet me?"

Wei Ruyan was stunned: "Who are you?"

"I am the deputy head of the Tianmo Sect's Miscellaneous Affairs Hall."

"Tianmo Sect? What does Tianmo Sect want to see me for?"

"It's like this, this area has been returned to my Tianmo Sect, but the area occupied by the monks of the original shelter still belongs to the monks of the shelter, but they need to register their household registration in our Miscellaneous Affairs Hall."

"What?" Wei Ruyan was shocked, "You Tianmo Sect actually repelled the locusts?"

"The locust tide ended in the war a month ago."
