Chronicles of Ascension: The Path to Immortality

"Xu Wujiu lost his legs during the siege this time. Fortunately, he had the spinal fluid of an elder from the Ten Tribes, otherwise Zhang Meng's path would have been cut off."

"Both clan elders, we are all from the same clan and have the same lifeblood. Don't mention these anymore."

"Are you really going to enter the ruins of the ancestral witch?" Zhang Meng asked instead.

"Yes, hasn't this been decided at the clan elders' meeting?"

"well……"

"Why are the elders of the second clan sighing? Are there no third-level spiritual objects in the ruins of the ancestral witches?"

"The Ancestral Witch Clan was originally more powerful than the Qingyun Sect, and there must be a lot of spiritual materials and spiritual objects in it. Not to mention third-order spiritual objects, there should be quite a few fourth-order spiritual objects as well. What I sigh about is the danger involved!"

"Do you think the elders of the two clans think I can't return safely?"

"The Ten Tribes always have great luck. They were able to escape from dangers in the Immortal Cat Cave Secret Realm, the Obscured Black Pool, etc. I believe they can also return safely to the Ancestral Witch Ruins. However, the dangers of the Ancestral Witch Ruins are far more dangerous than expected. Ten Clan elders need to be prepared.”

"How much do the elders of the two clans know about the ruins of the ancestral witches?"

"The ancestral witches used to be powerful beings in this area. There are many legends about them. The ancestral witches' cultivation is not to introduce Qi into the body, but to cultivate witch patterns and use the sacrifice of living souls to obtain the divine power from the mysterious world."

Next, Zhang Meng told Henry Zhang everything he knew about the ancestral witch.

The realm of ancestral witches can be divided into witch slaves, witch disciples, wizards, holy witches, etc., which respectively correspond to Qi refining, foundation building, golden elixir, and Nascent Soul cultivation.

The witch slave can use the soul to cultivate his body and deepen his witch marks, which is similar to physical cultivation.

Shamans can cultivate their lives with the help of living souls, and can gain innate magical powers such as guessing secrets, sensing danger, and cursing.

Wizards and holy witches are even more unfathomable.

Legend has it that there were several wizards in the ancestral witch clan at that time. You must know that wizards are basically equivalent to the strength of the Yuanying old monster.

"How did the ancestral witch perish?" Henry Zhang asked.

Zhang Meng shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. Some say it was because the ancestral witch clan killed wantonly and sacrificed the living souls, and was destroyed by the transformed gods. Some say that the ancestral witches borrowed divine power from the Xuanming world and were backlashed by the living souls. Possessed by evil spirits, the entire clan will be destroyed."

"Is it true that no one came out alive when the clan members entered later?"

"This..." Zhang Meng looked hesitant.

"Is there really anyone who came out alive?" Henry Zhang was shocked.

"Yes...but this matter is very important."

Henry Zhang felt confused: “Is there anything you can’t say?”

"This is related to a secret matter in the clan."

"What's going on? The elder of the second clan told me." Henry Zhang was a little anxious.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it's been fifty years since this happened, and you are the tenth clan elder of my Zhang clan, so it's okay for you to know."

Henry Zhang opened his eyes wide and looked at the elder of the second clan in front of him.

"How many of the ten clansmen have successfully understood the swordsmanship in the sword wall? How many of my Zhang clan are still alive?"

"Three people, one is the clan leader, one is the elder of the second clan, and one..." At this point, Henry Zhang couldn't go on. He had never heard anyone in the clan mention who was the third person in the Zhang clan who understood the way of swordsmanship. .

"The third person is Zhang Jianqiu."

"Who is Zhang Jianqiu?"

"He turned out to be the ultimate genius in the swordsmanship of our Zhang family, but he was later abandoned to cultivate."

"Why was the cultivation level abolished?" Henry Zhang was even more confused.

"This matter is a long story. In one sentence, the clan leader battle has been lost."

"His cultivation was abolished by the clan leader?" Henry Zhang was surprised again.

Zhang Meng nodded.

"If it was the clan leader who lost at that time, I'm afraid the fate would be the same. Both Qiangzhi were competing for it. Once he loses, Qiangzhi's position will not be guaranteed."

"After Zhang Jianqiu was defeated, he canceled the position of Qiangzhi, and hundreds of clan members Qiangzhi were expelled from Neiji. Zhang Jianqiu was also a tyrannical person. He actually left Fairy Cat Valley with hundreds of Qiangzhi. The clan leader was afraid that they would do something detrimental to Regarding the incident involving the Zhang clan, we sent people to follow up, and found that Zhang Jianqiu actually led hundreds of clan members into the ruins of the ancestral witch."

"The clan leader suspects that Zhang Jianqiu may want to take a gamble and regain his position as clan leader."

"At the same time, the clan leader also regretted very much. He felt that he had done too much to force Zhang Jianqiu to lead Qiangzhi into the ruins of the ancestral witch. Therefore, the clan leader sent the clan's masters to assist outside."

"Ten days later, Zhang Jianqiu escaped from the ruins of the ancestral witch with wounds all over his body. Everyone else died."

"What happened to Zhang Jianqiu later?" Zhang Xuan asked eagerly.

"he……"

"You won't be killed by the clan leader, right?"

"That's not true. Zhang Jianqiu is already a useless person. How could the clan leader do such a despicable thing?"

"After coming out of the ruins of the ancestral witch, Zhang Jianqiu has been depressed all day long, playing in the world, drunk and dreaming. The clan leader returned Neiji's spiritual field to him, and he directly bet the spiritual field and lost everything."

"What now?"

"Now, I am living in the outer ring in a daze."

"Then can you please ask senior Zhang Jianqiu to take me into the ruins of the ancestral witch?"

Zhang Meng waved his hand and said: "Absolutely impossible. All the strong branches of his clan died in the ruins of the ancestral witch. How could he bring you in? Moreover, he has held a grudge against the clan leader for fifty years, let alone the Zhang family's livelihood. , I guess he hopes that the Zhang family will be wiped out as soon as possible."

"Hey, let's talk about this later." Henry Zhang felt that it was really not easy to ask Zhang Jianqiu to come out.

"I heard that you need spiritual seedlings and spiritual seeds for the second-level elixir. I only have 2 spiritual seeds and 1 spiritual seedling here." Zhang Meng said and handed over a jade bottle.

Zhang Xuan took it: "Thank you, Second Clan Elder, do you... do you also need a spiritual weapon? I can..."

Zhang Meng waved his hand and said: "I already have a bone sword spiritual weapon, and I don't need to make a new spiritual weapon. Thank you, Tenth Clan Elder, for your kindness."

Zhang Xuan felt that the Second Clan Elder was indeed an honest person.

He suddenly thought of something and said: "Second Clan Elder, I will give you something, you will definitely like it."

"Oh? What is it? Tenth Clan Elder is so sure that I will like it."

"Sword Cultivation Formation."

As he said, Zhang Xuan took out the Sword Cultivation Formation he had refined in the belly of the third-level barrier beast from the storage bag.

Zhang Meng widened his eyes, looked at this mysterious formation, and said excitedly: "Is the Sword Cultivation Formation you are talking about the one refined by our ancestor Zhang Xing?"

"Yes, the ancestor's Worry-Free Sword was upgraded from a magic weapon to a mid-grade spiritual weapon by this formation."

Zhang Meng excitedly took the Sword Cultivation Formation in his hand, injected spiritual power into it, and a stream of sword intent floated out of the Sword Cultivation Formation.

"It really is a sword-raising formation. I didn't expect that the Tenth Elder got it."

"As long as the Second Elder likes it."

"I like it very much. Thank you very much, thank you very much..." Zhang Meng thanked him repeatedly.

"By the way, there is something else I want the Second Elder to help me with."

"Tenth Elder, just tell me."

"I just got 50 mu of spiritual fields, plus the 10 mu I bought originally, a total of 60 mu of first-level medium-grade spiritual fields. I want to borrow a batch of first-level low-grade spiritual seedlings from you. I wonder if it's convenient?"

"I thought it was something? Isn't it just a few spiritual seedlings? After the Tenth Elder gets the spiritual fields, just come to me to get them."

"Thank you, Second Elder."

Zhang Xuan smiled and sent the Second Elder away.
