Ascension Through Generations

What Zhao Xuanjing likes most is that the Star Master can control the power of heaven.

Because one of the most important requirements for breaking through the Fusion Realm is to open up the natal cave.

From a certain perspective, the natal cave is no different from a "miniature" Hengsha world.

The more they understand the various rules of the operation of heaven, the higher the success rate for monks in the Return to Void Realm to open up their natal cave.

Therefore, the position of "Star Lord" is very popular in the spiritual world, and there are countless returning half-immortals and many Fusion Realm experts who are eager to get it, and even do whatever it takes to get it.

In the past, the position of Star Master would have been divided up in advance, and it would never fall to Zhao Xuanjing.

The situation is completely different now. After all, on the Taiyi Merit List, eight hundred heavenly merits can be exchanged for the star master of a realm, and the term of office is as long as ten thousand years.

Such a long term of office is enough for any Return to Void Dzogchen to understand the laws of the operation of heaven, and it is a matter of course to be promoted to the Fusion Realm.

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng asked: "The position of Star Lord requires eight hundred heavenly merits. I wonder how much merit Jingzu has in his hands?"

Zhao Xuanjing smiled and said: "I don't know either. After all, the situation before was too dangerous and I didn't have time to check how much merit I had accumulated. Now I just want to check it out."

As he spoke, he waved his sleeves, and crystal light suddenly appeared. Densely packed alien crystals flew out of his sleeves and spread out in mid-air.

These alien crystals vary in size, ranging from the size of eyeballs to the largest ones as big as a skull, and the number is close to a thousand.

Zhao Xuanjing looked at the Taiyi Merit Monument with a solemn expression, and with a flash of light in his eyes, the alien crystals immediately flew towards the Immortal Monument, sinking into it, causing the Immortal Monument to bloom with a faint aura.

The next second, Zhao Xuanjing's eyes flashed strangely, and he said in surprise: "Oh, four hundred and seventy-one heavenly arts! Are there actually so many?"

"So few!" Zhao Sheng frowned when he heard this, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.

"Haha, that's a lot!" Zhao Xuanjing heard this, shook his head with a smile, and then explained: "After all, only by killing a Void Realm Demon Elder can one redeem a heavenly power. The Void Realm Demon Elder can be regarded as the return of the human race to the Void. This Four hundred and seventy heavenly arts are equivalent to killing more than four hundred returning half-immortals. Isn’t that too little for you now?”

After saying that, he continued to explain: "I was very lucky. I completely destroyed a demon nest and was rewarded with two hundred heavenly merits. In addition, the strange crystal of the Cave Demon Emperor was exchanged for one hundred heavenly merits. Two and one Add a full three hundred days of power, which already accounts for a large part of it. Not everyone can be as lucky as me!"

After Zhao Sheng heard this, he suddenly realized that he had misunderstood.

"In other words, if you want to exchange for the position of Star Lord, you still lack 329 heavenly skills. It is probably enough to destroy another demon nest."

Zhao Sheng said it very relaxedly. But Zhao Xuanjing didn't realize that this matter was very simple.

"The Demon Nest is an important base of the alien demons, and it is not so easy to destroy. I may have been negligent before. As more and more demon nests are destroyed, the alien demons will definitely increase their vigilance and increase their control of the demon nests. Protection strength.”

Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed and he suddenly suggested: "If you and I join forces, it shouldn't be difficult to capture another demon nest. It's hard to find the location of the demon nest."

"We will discuss this matter later!" Zhao Xuanjing did not respond, but instead avoided the proposal in an understatement.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Sheng realized something in an instant, so he stopped mentioning the matter and turned to another matter.

"Jingzu, a Void Returning Pill can be exchanged for ten heavenly skills. The price is very cheap. See if you can take the opportunity to exchange for some, which can also be regarded as building up the family's heritage."

"This is a very good idea! I'll do as you say." Zhao Xuanjing smiled when he heard this and agreed without hesitation.

Although the probability of breaking through the deficiency after taking the Deficiency Pill is not high, as the number increases, the success rate will naturally increase.

In fact, Zhao Sheng had long suspected Taiyi Ling Palace's intentions. The Ling Palace deliberately lowered the exchange price of the Void Returning Pills. The purpose was most likely to quickly increase the number of Void Returning Half Immortals to cope with the current war situation.

A few years later, a dispatch decree issued directly from Taiyi Ling Palace confirmed his thoughts.

…

Time flies, and two years have passed in a flash.

On this day, the atmosphere in the Tongxin Hall in the center of Shengong Island was somewhat depressing.

Zhao Xuanjing sat cross-legged on the jade couch, holding a golden silk book in his hand, his expression slightly solemn.

Zhao Sheng sat opposite him, looked at his expression carefully, and said nonchalantly: "Isn't it just an order to mobilize troops and generals? I'll just go, it's just a good time to stretch my muscles and earn some heavenly merit."

"The alien demon army is approaching the six fortress galaxies. A war may break out at any time. If you go there, you may encounter danger! Let me go for it!" Zhao Xuanjing rejected his proposal and decided to go to the Suzaku Star Fortress by himself. .

"No! Jing Zu should be very clear about my life-saving skills. You go, why don't I go!" Zhao Sheng retorted immediately.

Of course Zhao Xuanjing knew how incredible "Zhao Xuan's" natal magical power was, but he also had his own considerations.

After all, "Zhao Xi" has done enough for the Zhao family. Even he himself would not be able to bear it if he were to let others go to the front lines of the fortress to risk their lives.

"You don't need to-"

Zhao Xuanjing shook his head and was about to persuade him to change his mind, but before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted.

At this moment, Zhao Jinmin hurriedly walked into the hall, bowed to his ancestor and said, "Ancestor, Huang Shigong, the ancestor of the Huang family, has personally come to Shengong Island. Will you come forward to see me?"

"Huh? Why is he here!" Zhao Xuanjing's eyes flashed with surprise, and he couldn't help but said to himself.

"It's easy to guess the purpose of this person's visit! It must be related to the order to mobilize troops and generals. I'm afraid he is here to form an alliance."

"That's right! Apart from this, there should be no other possibility."

With that said, Zhao Xuanjing stood up and slowly flew out of the hall.

Zhao Sheng saw this and followed closely behind.

Not long after, the two welcomed Huang Shigong into the palace, and then took their seats.

Huang Shigong was not alone here, he was accompanied by another ancestor of the Huang family, Huang Hongxiang.

After some pleasantries, Mr. Huangshi revealed his intention.

As expected, the two Huang family members came to form an alliance. The Huang family also received an order to dispatch troops and generals, and they had to send a returning half-immortal to the front line to wait for dispatch.

The person sent by the Huang family was naturally not Huang Shigong, but the ordinary-looking Huang Hongxiang.

Zhao Sheng had met this person several times. Although he had not become friends, he was still familiar with him. He knew that his cultivation level was only in the early stage of returning to the void, and his strength was not very strong.

On the other side, Huang Hongxiang was in awe of him. Because this person has been mentioned countless times by Huang Shigong, he knows very well how powerful Zhao Sheng is.

"It's a good thing to take care of each other, but it's not necessary to travel in a group. I'm used to living alone, and I never like to be with others." After Zhao Sheng learned the purpose of the Huang family, he politely rejected the other party's "good intention."

The reason why he refused was purely to improve the conditions. To put it bluntly, the Huang family did not spend enough money.

Huang Shigong's eyes flashed after hearing this, and he said slowly: "Fellow Daoist Zhao might as well think about it again. My Huang family is willing to..."

"..."

Half an hour later, Zhao Xuanjing and Zhao Sheng personally sent Huang Shigong and Huang Hongxiang off the island, and smiled as they watched the two drift away.

…

Three months go by in a blink of an eye!

In the west of the Taiyi Spiritual Realm, six hundred years away, there is a solar galaxy with seven spiritual stars. Its name is the Suzaku Galaxy, which is named after the main star of this galaxy.

In the vast void and deep sky, two figures emerged from the dark sky and appeared out of thin air over the dead and desolate Death Star.

Billions of miles away, a fiery red star stood tall in the virtual sea, and also appeared in Zhao Sheng's field of vision.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, that is the main star of Suzaku, which is also the fortress of the Yulingxian Sect. There are more than ten Wanfa-level warship legions stationed around it, which can be said to be impregnable." Huang Hongxiang pointed at the big red star in front of him and said.

On the way together, the two communicated a lot, and their relationship naturally became much closer.

Speaking of which, Huang Hongxiang is also a disciple of the Yulingxian Sect. Now he serves as the elder of the outer sect. When it comes to his familiarity with the Suzaku Fortress Group, he naturally far surpasses Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Sheng glanced at Suzaku Star and said calmly:

"Where is Qiming City? You and I will go and report, and we will leave all other trivial matters later."

Huang Hongxiang looked startled, nodded in agreement, and said: "Yes, I will take fellow Taoists to report it right away."

After a breath, the two of them turned into two rainbows and rushed towards the Suzaku Star, which was hundreds of millions of miles away.

More than half an hour later, the two figures appeared on a vast sea of ​​clouds in the Suzaku Realm.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, please look over there." Huang Hongxiang pointed.

Zhao Sheng looked far away in the direction he pointed, and saw a magnificent city coming into view.

This city is majestic and covers an area of ​​about hundreds of miles. It is more appropriate to think of it as a fortress than a city.

The entire city is made of a kind of black sky essence rock. The four walls are more than a thousand feet high. There are dense formation restrictions and large war magic weapons inside and outside.

In the center of the city, a ten thousand-foot-tall tower can be seen in the distance, with a blazing white light ball floating on the top of the tower, like a bright sun.

There are pits and pits everywhere on the outer wall of the city wall, which seem to be traces of many battles. Although some places have been repaired, many long cracks can still be seen.

It can be seen from this that the offensive of the alien demon army is crazy, and the situation on the front line is far from being as optimistic as it seems.

In the high sky near the city, there are hundreds of huge spaceships parked, all as big as mountains, exuding a fierce iron-blooded murderous aura.

In the atmosphere of Suzaku Star, there are nine fortress floating cities like Qiming City.

"This city is good!" Zhao Sheng said with a nod after retracting his gaze.

"Of course! Follow me into the city first, but all human monks who come to the front line of Suzaku Star for the first time must register their identity at the Cave Sky Tower, and then allocate magic weapon tokens, and then the place will be assigned by the above. Of course, we want I have a lot of freedom, and I can usually take on bounty tasks at will..." Huang Hongxiang said, flying towards the city first. When Zhao Sheng saw this, he quickly followed him.

There were still more than a hundred feet away from the city gate, and four or five monks immediately flew out from the city wall, wearing standard fiery red armor, and rushed towards the two of them.

"Come here, stop!!" These monks stopped more than a hundred feet away, and a middle-aged monk in front of them raised his hands to Zhao Sheng and the two of them and shouted in a deep voice.

Zhao Sheng's divine thoughts swept over several people. It was clear that these people were all in the late Nascent Soul stage, and the middle-aged monk he was was the True Lord of Divine Transformation.

Huang Hongxiang looked solemn, turned over his hand and took out a green jade sign, showed it to the other party, and then calmly took it back.

The expressions of the middle-aged monks and others changed greatly. They hurriedly bowed to Zhao Sheng and the others, and shouted at the same time: "Juniors have their responsibilities, and I just offended you. I hope you will forgive me, seniors!"

Huang Hongxiang said calmly: "Don't blame those who don't know! The two of us have something to do and want to enter the city, but you still won't get out of the way!"

"this……"

When the middle-aged monk heard this, he couldn't help but show hesitation on his face.

Seeing this situation, Huang Hongxiang looked suddenly stunned and suddenly smiled and said: "I almost forgot. Please take out the magic mirror and take a look."

The middle-aged monk breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took out a white mirror, which emitted a white light and enveloped Zhao Sheng and the others.

Zhao Sheng frowned, but seeing that Huang Hongxiang did not resist at all, he did not react and allowed the white light to envelope the two of them.

A wave of cool water-like laws quickly swept through his body and swam countless times within the Purple Mansion Soul Sea.

"There is no response from the divine mirror. There is no problem with the two seniors at all. Please come in quickly!" The middle-aged monk quickly put away the mirror and said somewhat flatteringly.

Huang Hongxiang nodded, turned around and smiled at Zhao Sheng: "Fellow Daoist Zhao, please come first!"

Zhao Sheng nodded slightly and flew towards the city first.

Huang Hongxiang followed closely behind, explaining as he flew: "The Divine Mirror is a rare treasure specially made to identify strange demons. In the past, strange demons have repeatedly sneaked into the human army, causing several defeats with heavy casualties. That’s why it’s so strict when entering the city…”

While talking, the two of them had passed through more than ten barriers and flew into the city.

As soon as he entered the city gate, Zhao Sheng raised his eyebrows and felt that the aura of heaven and earth suddenly became a hundred times stronger, and the surrounding time and space instantly became extremely solid, making it impossible to enter the virtual world from the city.

He took a few glances at the tall towers in the city and felt a little enlightened.

As a fortress, Qiming City has a uniform architectural style and is full of solid and heavy styles. Although it is not gorgeous, it appears to be indestructible.

There were very few people seen in the city, which seemed a bit deserted. Occasionally, one or two people could be seen rushing in and out, as if they were extremely busy.

Huang Hongxiang was obviously very familiar with the situation here, and walked quickly towards the Dongtian Tower. Seeing this, Zhao Sheng followed silently.

"Brother Zhao doesn't know. There are countless restrictions all over Qiming City. It can be said that every step is forbidden, and every step is killed! In addition, the air forbidden formation has been activated. If there is no access authority, even if the powerful master of the Fusion Realm comes, Walk honestly.”

Zhao Sheng nodded thoughtfully and said nothing.

Not long after, the two came to the tall tower in the center of the city.

As the distance got closer, Zhao Sheng could more clearly perceive the inconceivability of the tower in front of him. The entire tower was made of an unknown milky white jade, and every inch of the tower was engraved with dense and complex spiritual patterns.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of the white tower that reached the sky in the Endless Building, and his mind suddenly started to tremble.

"This Cave Sky Tower is run by a Fusion Realm Patriarch of our sect. The person you and I are going to meet is none other than Patriarch Bi Fang of the Yu lineage. Patriarch Bi Fang has a hot temper. I have to deal with it carefully later and don't offend him. "The Patriarch." Huang Hongxiang pointed to the top of the tower and said with a nervous expression.

Zhao Sheng nodded calmly and then walked into the tower.
