Ascension Through Generations

Zhao Sheng secretly counted and found that there were more than two hundred floors of corridors between this place and the end point, but the straight-line distance did not exceed a hundred miles.

"Thanks for the advice, Brother Qi! Baimei has taken note of this favor." Zhao Sheng took the animal skin scroll and thanked him with a smile on his face.

"Hey, this little thing is nothing. If you want to go there, I'll just do my best and accompany you personally." Qi Wuyan waved his hand nonchalantly, and then said cheerfully.

When Zhao Sheng heard this, he said in a deep voice: "This is too troublesome, Brother Qi! I can go alone."

"Oh, have you forgotten everything I just said? If you are on the road alone, you will easily be spotted by those weird things. Don't be stubborn with me about this matter."

Qi Wuyan had a very strong attitude and directly made the decision for Zhao Sheng.

After saying that, he turned back and shouted to the crowd: "Lao Gui, Ma San, you two, get over here!"

Before he finished speaking, two figures, one fat and one thin, ran over from a distance.

The fat man has a round face and short stature. He carries a pair of cyan tortoise shells on his body and moves vigorously.

The thin person has long hands and feet, and a long face, with bright eyes and a sense of intelligence in his eyes.

"Master Qi, why are you calling me?" Ma Sanpi came to Qi Wuyan with a flattering smile on his face, and his eyes rolled around, as if he was secretly guessing his intentions.

"Master Qi!" Lao Gui was much more stable than Ma San. When he came closer, he shouted in a low voice and stood still.

Qi Wuyan said with a serious look: "You two will accompany me and Brother Baimei to the human market. When you come back, I will exempt you from paying taxes this time."

Ma San was startled when he heard this, but quickly agreed with a smile. The old turtle also nodded in agreement.

Qi Wuyan showed a satisfied smile upon seeing this, then turned back to look at Zhao Sheng and said with a smile: "Brother Baimei, let's go!"

"Being respectful is not as good as obeying orders. Then it will be troublesome for Brother Qi and the two fellow Taoists." Seeing that the deal was already done, Zhao Sheng had no choice but to accept Qi Wuyan's friendship.

"Haha, brother Baimei, come with us."

Qi Wuyan laughed and took the lead, walking towards the east side of the corridor.

Zhao Sheng was a little behind and then followed behind him.

The two demon clans, Ma San and Lao Gui, looked at each other and quickly followed.

After walking about four or five miles, Qi Wuyan came to a staircase. He turned around and motioned for Zhao Sheng to follow him, then he ducked and turned down the stairs.

The staircase going down was about two feet wide, and each step was paved with milky white wood, which was exactly the same material as the surrounding walls.

Zhao Sheng noticed that the walls on both sides of the stairs were covered with graffiti. The patterns on them were messy, as if they had been repeatedly modified and daubed by countless creatures.

With a quick glance, he immediately vaguely discerned seven or eight different types of symbols similar to "words" among the messy patterns.

After entering the stairs, Zhao Sheng kept seeing those dense patterns in his mind, and quickly recognized two kinds of "writing", one of which was 80% similar to Taiyi Lingwen, and the other was impressively immortal seal script.

The meaning of Lingwen is suspected to be "to ward off evil spirits", while Xianzhuan has only one character, which is the word "生".

Just when he was thinking clearly about the meaning of the words, the four of them had already quickly passed through the stairs and arrived at the corridor on the next floor.

The corridor on this floor is indeed exactly the same as the one above. It is also empty and dead. If you look away slightly, you can see the strange and sacred towering white tower.

Zhao Sheng didn't dare to look any further and hurriedly looked away, then turned to look back at the stairs. As expected, he also saw large and messy "graffiti" on the walls on both sides.

After staring for a moment, he turned back and continued to follow Qi Wuyan.

This time, after passing about three staircases, Qi Wuyan turned and turned into the fourth staircase.

Also going down, the walls on both sides are also covered with "graffiti".

After walking through this section of stairs, Zhao Sheng suddenly discovered that there were ninety-nine steps in total, and the height dropped by about ten feet.

As they walked down the two-story corridor, Qi Wuyan kept his mouth tightly shut and remained silent all the way. He just hurried along, but not a single sound came from his feet.

Ma San and Lao Gui were trembling with fear, their expressions on their faces were extremely vigilant, and they remained silent.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Sheng was thoughtful and could not help but become more wary of the "weird thing" he had not seen.

In this way, the four of them walked like flying, continuously passing through the corridors all the way down, quickly approaching their final destination.

More than half an hour later, the four of them passed through the more than 200-story corridor very smoothly, with a total distance of nearly 400 miles.

When he walked out of the stairs on the 247th floor, Zhao Sheng's eyes lit up, and a small "market" came into view, not far from the stairs.

The "market" occupies a large area and has over a hundred people, but there are only about twenty stalls. The stalls are filled with dazzling treasures and more unknown strange objects.

As soon as the four Zhao Shengs appeared, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

In particular, the three Qi Wuyans had obvious alien characteristics, which made people even more wary.

A golden-faced giant in full armor quickly emerged from the crowd, strode up to the four of them, and shouted coldly: "Stop, whoever is coming!"

Qi Wuyan cupped his hands into fists and shouted: "A certain Qi Wuyan, a member of the Pixi tribe, is here today to escort Brother Baimei, and is not a bad visitor."

When the golden-faced giant heard this, his expression brightened slightly. Since the visitor could speak to communicate, it meant that he was not an immortal creature.

"Turns out he is a 'friend' of Sanyaofang. I think you know the rules of this city. Don't do anything, or those who do it will die!"

After the golden-faced giant glanced at Zhao Sheng, his tone immediately softened.

After speaking, the man turned around and walked back. At this time, the atmosphere in the market relaxed, and everyone withdrew their gazes and continued to do their own business.

"Brother Baimei, I finally came here because I have to make a lot of money. So I won't accompany you!" Qi Wuyan's eyes were about to move, and he patted Zhao Sheng's shoulder carelessly and said.

Zhao Sheng smiled slightly: "Brother Qi, go ahead. I just saw the person I wanted to see."

"Okay, take care, I'm leaving. Ma San, Old Turtle, come with me."

As soon as Qi Wuyan finished speaking, he couldn't wait to rush into the market with two horses and two horses, and quickly found an open space to set up a stall to sell treasures.

At this time, Chen Mingxue walked over with excitement on his face. He looked Zhao Sheng up and down and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was safe and sound.

The two walked aside and communicated secretly for a moment, before they figured out their respective experiences after separation.

Unlike Zhao Sheng who "accidentally entered" the gathering point of the demon race, Chen Mingxue landed directly near the human race city after crossing over and did not encounter any danger.

But because Zhao Sheng was not around, Chen Mingxue did not dare to reveal his belongings, so he had to wander around the market, hoping that Zhao Sheng would find this place as soon as possible.

Fortunately, destiny came to Zhao, and he finally waited!

After Zhao Sheng comforted him for a few words, he took him into the market and started walking along the stalls.

After getting familiar with the trading rules here, Zhao Sheng bartered several times in succession, exchanging two kinds of thunder-attributed spiritual objects and the crystal stone that sealed three rays of the mysterious celestial being.

Soon after, the space-time repulsive force increased rapidly and quickly reached its limit.

Zhao Sheng and Chen Mingxue were quickly excluded from Yukong Immortal Heaven and returned to the Great Chun Realm.

…

As soon as he returned, a large amount of pure spiritual energy instantly emerged from his limbs and bones out of thin air.

Zhao Sheng skillfully guided this batch of spiritual energy into the Dantian Qi Sea, and quickly refined it into his own power.

As his cultivation level continued to improve, the immortal spiritual energy that was originally "roaring like a river" gradually turned into a trickle, which only saved him more than half a month of cultivation time.

After spending a moment, Zhao Sheng refined all the spiritual energy, and then told Ancestor Feihong who was waiting aside in detail about the changes after this time travel.

In fact, there was no need for him to say anything. Ancestor Feihong already knew the general story from Chen Mingxue's memory.

Zhao Sheng didn't stay in Feihong Cave for long before he said goodbye and left calmly soon.

After returning to Qianlong Pavilion, he found that Chen Ying and his daughter Chen Zhi were waiting for his return in the mansion. Zhao Sheng stayed with his wife and daughter for a long time, enjoying some family happiness.

However, the other wives and concubines quickly came after hearing the news, and then the two sons Chen Mingyi and Chen Mingqian also rushed to the house to pay their respects to their father.

Compared with Chen Zhi, who has accomplished foundation building, Chen Mingyi, the third child, has barely reached the state of Qi Refining and is in a critical stage of recharging his energy.

Of course, with the top-quality foundation-building elixir given by Zhao Sheng, it is not difficult for Chen Mingyi to be promoted to foundation-building elixir. What is rare is whether he can successfully form the elixir in the future.

The youngest, Chen Mingqian, has far less qualifications than his elder brothers and sisters. Even though he took a large amount of elixirs, he has only reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. In this life, he may stop building the foundation and there will be no hope for the golden elixir.

Zhao Sheng originally planned to train the youngest to become a martial artist, but Chen Mingqian was not interested in it at all. Instead, he was obsessed with raising insects and fighting beasts.

In the past two years, he begged for a long time before Zhao Sheng finally relented and gave him the job of raising fairy-eating silkworms.

The Immortal-eating Silkworm has endless potential. If Chen Mingqian can subdue and refine it, he might be able to find an alternative path to immortality in the future.

A few days later, Chen Ying and other wives and concubines left radiantly one by one.

After some guidance from their old father, the children left Qianlong Pavilion very excitedly with a bunch of treasures.

After Zhao Sheng had some time off, he once again announced his retreat and cultivation, and finally entered the secret cultivation room and never came out.

…

Two years passed by in a flash.

On this day, the secret room was silent. Purple smoke curled up from an antique incense burner and filled the entire secret room.

The air is filled with refreshing fragrance. A slight smell makes people's minds extremely clear and their thinking is like electricity.

If outsiders knew that the rare enlightenment tea was used as ordinary incense, they would be heartbroken on the spot and curse someone for wasting such a divine thing.

But for Zhao Sheng, who can enter and exit the Moonlight Cave at will, although the Enlightenment Divine Tea is rare, you can still find a lot of it if you want to look for it.

Purple smoke filled the air, and Zhao Sheng sat cross-legged, holding a square gold plate in both hands, staring intently at the Golden Book of the Great Dao.

At this time, bursts of thunder could be faintly heard from within his body, and a thunder giant was practicing some mysterious boxing skills behind him.

Deep in his dantian, a yellow-skinned gourd floated up and down in the sea of ​​mana and thunder. The gourd's mouth continued to swallow the surrounding purple thunder water, and from time to time it spurted out a drop of more brilliant and pure purple thunder power.

Above the mana sea, the yellow-skinned gourd carrying the true immortal and demonic thoughts has shrunk several times, and the skin has turned from burnt yellow to light jade white. It looks as warm as jade and emits bright white light.

The fire of will continued to sink into the inner space of the gourd, falling on the twisted black shadow and constantly burning and refining. After refining for a long time, a trace of dark demonic thought was refined, and fell to the bottom of the gourd below, continuing Burned by the fire of will.

I don't know how much time has passed, but the divine tea of ​​enlightenment in the incense burner has long been burned out, and the purple smoke has dispersed all over the room.

At a certain moment, the face reflected on the golden plate suddenly smiled strangely, opened its mouth and spat out an obscure syllable.

In an instant, Zhao Shengfu was so moved that he spit out the same obscure syllables.

Zhao Sheng stayed awake and continued to stare at the wordless golden book without moving.

Buzz!

A brilliant and extremely complex three-dimensional structure appeared out of thin air in the gold plate and disappeared in a flash.

Zhao Sheng's pupils shrank slightly and he spoke the same pronunciation again without hesitation.

As a result, the three-dimensional configuration emerged again...

Half a month later, when he recited specific syllables countless times, the true text of the Great Dao that emerged in his mind finally no longer disappeared, but was deeply imprinted in the depths of his memory.

"mountain peak!"

Although the voice was not loud, it shocked his soul, and a massive amount of information poured out of his mind, all of which were detailed rules related to the Earthly Path, specifically the principles and principles regarding "subsidence, landslides, and land movement".

Since obtaining the Golden Book of the Great Dao, Zhao Sheng has invested a lot of energy and effort, and has now comprehended three new true texts of the Great Dao, and has also recorded several true texts of the Great Dao such as "Strength, Barrier, and Tribulation" that he learned in his previous life. .

So far, he has mastered a total of nine Dao True Texts, and his Dao practice has been advancing by leaps and bounds.

Not only that, his divine will has also been continuously improved as a result. Compared with the same realm in his previous life, his divine will in this life is not only 30% stronger than the previous life, but also several times more powerful than the Nascent Soul of the same level, reaching the level of being easily crushed. .

At the same time, it only took Zhao Sheng more than ten years to upgrade his cultivation to the third level of Nascent Soul, which was nearly twice as fast as in his previous life.

Boom ~

He was distracted for a moment, causing the power of the thunder giant's punch to accidentally leak out, and the secret room barrier suddenly exploded suddenly as if it had been hit by a cannonball.

The Jin Gang Rock wall, which was ten times harder than gold and iron, silently dented a large area. A large amount of stone powder flowed down from the top, and in the blink of an eye, it piled up into a large pile on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Sheng realized that his mind was exhausted and his willpower was dim.

With his mind flashing, he slowly put away the Thunder Dharma Image, and then turned over with one hand to put the Golden Book of the Great Dao into the Sumeru space. At the same time, there was an eyeball-like crystal bead in his hand.

Zhao Sheng sent out a ray of spiritual thought to penetrate into Chu Shiyu, and in an instant, a large amount of information about Wuwu Tower rushed into his mind.

After a moment, Chu Shiyu suddenly shattered.

At this time, Zhao Sheng showed some shock on his face and murmured to himself: "The existence state of that undead monster is quite similar to that of the Six Desire Demon. No wonder it can't be killed! Could it be that the Babel Tower also fell? A certain true immortal level power..."

Recalling all the strange rumors about the Babel Tower in Chu Shiyu, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but feel a chill running down his back, and was horrified.
