Ascension Through Generations

"In my opinion, this is a good thing. After all, this trip is dangerous and unpredictable. If more fellow returners participate, we will naturally be safer. Even if the mission fails, it will be easier to escape!"

Taoist Baiqin's words seemed to be a deliberate reminder to the two of them.

Zhao Sheng said, "As long as I work together and act carefully, it shouldn't be difficult to complete the reward mission. I'm afraid that other colleagues will get ahead of me and my trip will be in vain."

"Fellow Taoist Yan said it well! As long as we work together, there is no need to worry about big things happening. In addition, Ji has prepared something small in advance and is about to share it with two fellow Taoists."

After Ji Tiandu finished speaking with a smile, he took out a bronze compass with two palm-sized sides from his arms, and then gave it to Zhao Sheng and the others.

"Hey, Tianji induction disk?! I never thought that Taoist friend Ji would have such a treasure." Taoist Baiqin looked at the compass in his hand and said in surprise.

Zhao Sheng stared at the golden pointer on the compass, feeling slightly surprised.

You must know that the Tianji induction disk is an exclusive magic weapon of Taiyi Spiritual Palace. It is usually only equipped for the true disciples of the Spiritual Palace and is rarely leaked outside.

This plan is a detection magic weapon that can detect an object up to 10 million miles away.

The number ten million miles is simply insignificant in the grand scale of time and space, but it is seven to eight hundred times higher than the perception limit of a monk in the Return to the Void Realm.

Unexpectedly, Ji Tiandu laughed and said: "These two pieces of Tianji compass were temporarily borrowed by Ji. They need to be returned later."

"I see, why doesn't Pindao have such connections? Brother Tiandu still has deep connections!" Taoist Baiqin suddenly realized and couldn't help but praise.

Zhao Sheng also praised: "With this heavenly compass, we are like adding wings to a tiger. Fellow Taoist Ji is determined!"

Ji Tiandu smiled slightly after hearing this and said seriously: "It's not too late, I'll set off now!"

"good!"

"Pindao has exactly what he means!"

Seeing this, Ji Tiandu nodded slightly, and his figure instantly turned into a streak of gray light, galloping towards the depths of the dark sky.

Zhao Sheng and Taoist Baiqin looked at each other, transformed into escaping light, and chased after him.

In the blink of an eye, the three rays of light had gone far away and disappeared into the vast depths of darkness.

…

Two hours later, the three of them had arrived at the outskirts of the Western Front, arriving at the area where the No. 2 Void Fortress finally disappeared.

Looking around, there is "nothing" around, only dense space-time storms rioting and raging here, setting off countless violent "huge waves".

"Huh!"

Suddenly, Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed slightly and he let out a light sigh.

After arriving here, he suddenly found that his spiritual thoughts seemed to be affected by something, and were somewhat blurred and distorted, and the detection range was also reduced a lot out of thin air.

"Something is not good! There are still a lot of demonic mist remaining here. It seems that the Yimo side has long been deliberately planning to capture the Yi Er Fort. The task has become more difficult." Taoist Baiqin said worriedly.

"The concentration of the magic mist here is very light, and it has little impact on us. What I'm worried about is, where has Yi Er Castle been dragged by the strange demons?" Ji Tiandu looked at the compass in his palm, and the pointer on the compass did not move at all. .

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

"The surrounding airspace is close to ten years old. The area is so large that trying to find the whereabouts of Fort Yier as soon as possible is like looking for a needle in a haystack. There is only one way at the moment, that is, the three of us each choose a direction and search the airspace along the way as soon as possible. If anyone finds it, Just use Nine God Gu to inform the other two."

With that said, Ji Tiandu actually took out two fat white silkworms and gave them to Zhao Sheng and the others.

This person's thorough preparation is simply amazing!

But after thinking about it, Zhao Sheng felt that it was natural. Unlike him, a "newbie", Ji Tiandu and others had been working in the Demon-Suppressing Star Territory and the Suzaku Galaxy for many years, so the Nine God Gu and other necessary things must have been prepared in advance. .

The "Nine God Gu" mentioned by Ji Tiandu is a special kind of demon Gu specially cultivated by Yulingxian Sect.

Nine God Gu are born with one egg and nine children, and the nine monster Gu born have the magical ability to transmit messages in an instant regardless of the distance between time and space.

Although Nine God Gu is extremely difficult to cultivate, due to its magical ability, it is currently widely used by high-level monks as a temporary communication tool on the battlefield between the two races.

Taoist Baiqin cupped his hands at the two of them and said, "I'm a poor Taoist, go ahead, you two, take care!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man turned into light and disappeared.

But whether intentionally or unintentionally, Taoist Baiqin chose the direction where the magic fog was the thickest.

Zhao Sheng could clearly see this man's little scheme, but he didn't care at all.

At this time, Ji Tiandu also chose the direction of exploration. After saying goodbye to Zhao Sheng, he hurried away.

After the two left one after another, Zhao Sheng waited patiently for a moment, and then moved away out of thin air.

Zhao Sheng, who possesses the magical power of time and space, is simply "cheating" blatantly.

In just half a cup of tea, he actually moved hundreds of times in the surrounding ten-year airspace. He could be considered to have "traveled" all over the area.

However, what surprised him was that Fort Yier was not in this airspace.

At the flying speed of the Void Realm Fortress, it could not fly ten years away in just one day.

Remove all impossibilities, and there is only one possibility left!

The Void Fortress No. 2 has broken away from the Dark Sky and has now returned to the real world star field.

"Now, we are in some trouble!" Zhao Sheng murmured to himself with a sad look on his face as he stood above a space-time vortex.

What he was worried about was not how to find Yi Er Castle, but how to inform the other two people without being suspected.

After a few breaths, Zhao Sheng suddenly raised his brows and already had an idea in his mind.

"Well, I seem to have encountered a group of void worms before. This is it!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already moved to two permanent years away out of thin air.

In the depths of the billowing chaotic storm, a large piece of strange gray-black mist suddenly appeared, approaching rapidly towards this side.

The strange fog covers the sky, its momentum is like a rainbow, and it contains murderous intent.

Under the "perspective" of the spiritual mind, the strange mist showed its true appearance, which was countless gray-black insects.

This insect is shaped like a worm, with an average body length of about a foot. Its body is as fat as a silkworm, but its back has black bone spurs that make people shudder.

"Fortunately, the number of this group of void worms does not exceed 100 million. Presumably the strength of the Insect King is still under the Void Return, so it is not difficult to deal with it." Zhao Sheng looked at the rapidly approaching insect mist and stepped out with a gentle step.

The next moment, others appeared in the deepest part of the insect swarm.

The void worms here are all unimaginably big, with body lengths generally around seven or eight feet, and their aura is not weak. Their strength ranges from Nascent Soul to Transformation God.

Void worms are a gregarious race. The larger their population size, the more powerful their overall strength becomes. At the same time, they can also rely on the power of the swarm to withstand the extremely harsh "environment" of the Dark Sky.

"A billion insects are one insect!"

This is the secret why void worms can survive in the dark sky!

The void worm swarm also discovered Zhao Sheng's invasion at this moment, and instantly sent out countless mental fluctuations, condensing into a majestic ocean of tyrannical consciousness, and attacked Zhao Sheng.

"The reaction is too slow! It's too late!" Zhao Sheng shook his head and smiled, and his figure suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

boom!

The moment he reappeared, he had already hit the head of a huge worm that was a hundred feet long, and most of his body was buried in the thick worm skin.

"Don't move, you will die if you move!"

Zhao Sheng suddenly burst out with the powerful pressure of the Return to Void Realm, and at the same time issued a death threat to the Insect King beneath him.

The Insect King was frightened and angry, and was about to gather the power of the entire clan to kill the "human monk" above his head.

Unexpectedly, an irresistible force penetrated the body from the top of the head, instantly beating most of its brain into paste.

Immediately afterwards, the Insect King was hit by a series of thunder blows

It wasn't until it was confused and almost dying that it was completely ravaged that Zhao Sheng stopped and asked, "Are you convinced?"

"I'm convinced!" The Insect King immediately sent back a pitiful message.

"Let me ask you an answer. Which alien race are you from?"

"The young one was born in the Zheluo demon group. It has been thirty-seven thousand five hundred and three years since birth. Now he is responsible for herding this group of void worms."

Zhao Sheng nodded, feeling that the other party was not lying, and asked again: "What is your mission?"

"The little one is 'patrolling' along the line, but I don't want to bump into you, sir." The Insect King is obviously very aware of current affairs, and he even imitates the human race to flatter him.

Zhao Sheng was quite satisfied with this strange demon, and then asked a few more questions.

It was not beyond his expectation that not only did this alien demon who had taken over the body-stealing insect king not know the whereabouts of Yi Er Fort, he even had no idea that his side had captured Yi Er Fort.

It is just a low-level monster among the strange demons, so it has no right to know the "high-level secrets".

However, Zhao Sheng’s purpose was not to inquire about information from him, but...

boom!

The Insect King's head exploded without warning, and large pieces of gray brain sputtered out, which were instantly wiped out by the time and space storm.

Zhao Sheng waved his hand casually, and several Zixiao Divine Thunder fell out of the air, all bombarding a group of black demonic figures. The demonic figures did not even have time to scream, and disappeared on the spot.

He stretched out his hand and saw a multi-faceted crystal as big as an egg flying from below and falling into his hand.

At this moment, the swarm of worms seemed to explode and became extremely chaotic in an instant.

However, the worm group quickly split into seven or eight different groups, and quickly fled in all directions.

Many of them were mixed in different ethnic groups and managed to escape.

Zhao Sheng had no intention of taking action and allowed them to escape.

He quickly took out the Nine God Gu and sent a summons message to Taoist Baiqin and Ji Tiandu.

After waiting in place for most of the day, Taoist Baiqin arrived here first.

"Fellow Taoist Yan, have you really found the whereabouts of Yier Fort?" Taoist Baiqin immediately confirmed in surprise when they met.

"Yan's luck is not bad! Not long after the search, we encountered a group of void worms that were enslaved by demons. I accidentally learned from the Insect King that Yi Er Castle had been transported to the present world by strange demons, so I urgently informed you."

With that said, Zhao Sheng pointed to the huge insect corpse at his feet and at the same time flashed the alien crystal in his hand.

This alien crystal has 376 facets, and it already belongs to the category of soul monsters.

Taoist Baiqin was overjoyed when he saw it, and did not suspect that Zhao Sheng deliberately lied.

To put it bluntly, lies do no good and are meaningless!

"Haha! Fellow Daoist Yan is really powerful! As a result, we are several steps ahead of the demon-slaying team. They never imagined that the strange demon would actually move Yi Er Castle to the star field of the present world."

"Yan is just lucky!" Zhao Sheng pretended to be humble.

The two of them waited there for a while before they saw the escape light transformed by Ji Tiandu approaching rapidly from the distance.

Not long after, the three of them reunited.

Zhao Sheng quickly explained the matter again in front of Ji Tiandu.

After learning the news, Ji Tian was both happy and anxious, and felt very troublesome for a while.

After all, the star field in this world is completely different from the dark sky!

Compared with the "speed of lightning" in the dark sky, the return speed of the half-immortal in the star field of the present world is reduced by countless times, and it is simply "as slow as a snail".

The space of the Starry Sky Sea that lasts for more than ten years is too large. Even if we search it all, it will take several years to combine the efforts of Zhao Sheng and three people.

By then everything is too late! After all, the duration of the heaven-level bounty mission is only ten days.

Taoist Baiqin soon thought of the difficulties involved, and his expression suddenly felt a little disappointed, but also a little relaxed.

"If it really doesn't work! I'll just give up!"

Seeing Taoist Baiqin retreating, Ji Tiandu said without thinking: "No, it's not time to give up yet, let me think about it."

Zhao Sheng remained silent on the surface, but secretly expected the other party to say the "keyword".

"Alas, there is no other way! We can only make another deal with the treacherous demon and see if we can find out where the Yi Er Fort is hidden."

Ji Tiandu thought for a moment and finally said the "words" Zhao Sheng was expecting.

"This is a good idea!" Unexpectedly, Taoist Baiqin was the first to respond.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, please think twice. Trading with strange demons is a taboo among humans. If outsiders find out about this, the consequences will be unpredictable!" Although Zhao Sheng objected, he still left a gap in his words.

"Brother Yan, there is no need to worry. Although the Cunning Demon is very cunning and cunning, its tribe has an excellent reputation. It has not betrayed its trading partners several times in tens of thousands of years. On the contrary, it does not do too much to betray the information to many parties." Ji Tiandu He nodded and explained patiently.

Upon hearing this, Taoist Baiqin nodded in agreement.

Zhao Sheng saw this and no longer objected.

"Haha, although this treacherous demon is not very powerful, but in terms of its well-informed information, it is ranked first among the alien demons. If they can't find out the information, we should disband and go back as soon as possible. Yi Er Castle is destined to not be recaptured. "Taoist Baiqin seems to have had a lot of dealings with the cunning demon, and he obviously has full confidence in him.

Ji Tiandu immediately said: "Okay, now that we have reached an agreement, let Ji contact the Cunning Demon."

After saying that, he took out a dark green bead and crushed it into pieces.

This person obviously wanted to seize the right to speak among the three people, so he took the initiative to take on this "troublesome" job.

Zhao Sheng and Taoist Baiqin looked at each other, and at the same time they concealed themselves and hid themselves as if they had a clear understanding of each other.

boom!

The green bead shattered, and a cloud of green "mist" exploded from it.

After the mist rolled a few times, it slowly condensed into a strange green head.

The head was nearly twice the size of a human head, like a pumpkin, with a face without nose and ears, only one vertical eye and an exaggeratedly large mouth.

It seems funny at first, then downright weird.

As soon as the head was born, it immediately opened its vertical eyes excitedly, revealing a dark red eyeball. The eyeballs are as big as fists, and they spin around as soon as they open, making them look extremely cunning.
