Best Ascension

Chapter 208 The Fall of Longshou Island and the Attack on the Treasure Ship
In the realm of foundation establishment, the later stage of foundation establishment is a relatively special stage.

Because after being promoted to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, even ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators will have the opportunity to change their spiritual power qualitatively.

Once the qualitative transformation of spiritual power can be successfully completed, the strength of the monks in the late stage of foundation establishment will be improved by leaps and bounds. It is not a problem to fight ten with one, and it is no problem to deal with two ordinary people of the same level alone.

If it is changed to the middle stage of foundation establishment, three or five players are not a problem. Winning is not guaranteed, and it is normal to maintain unbeaten and undefeated. At least running away is not a problem.

Then drop half a level and replace it with the early stage of foundation building.A powerful late-stage foundation-building monk (with a qualitative change in spiritual power, holding a top-grade spiritual weapon, and practicing real kung fu above the Jindan level) can really beat ten with one.It can be considered as an adult beating a group of children.

Zhao Yunxian didn't know if Zhao Sheng was the powerful foundation builder who was said to be able to fight ten at a time, but judging from his super spiritual consciousness.Even if the opponent's strength is weak, they are not weak.

At the moment when the demon tide is about to break out and the Zhao family may be in danger of being wiped out at any time, the Zhao family suddenly received such strong help, it has to be said that it really has a sense of the protection of the ancestors.

From this, we can understand why Zhao Yunxian was so excited.

hum!
After a buzzing sound, the six black lights flew back to Zhao Sheng in an instant, and regrouped into the Liuhe Mayfly Shield.

The high-grade spirit shield, which was about a foot in size, fell down, and Zhao Sheng caught it, and then put it into the storage bag casually.

If a cultivator wants to do whatever he wants, like a spiritual weapon that swings his arms, he must go through years of refinement and fusion of energy and spirit.

Just now Zhao Sheng used his spiritual consciousness to forcibly manipulate him, and he looked very flexible, but in fact it was just a show.Any violent impact could cause the spirit shield to lose control.

"That's right, Pindao is very satisfied with this Liuhe mayfly shield. I would like to thank the Patriarch for giving it to me." Zhao Sheng thanked Zhao Yunxian with a smile on his face.

"Haha! As long as Daoist Cen Hezi is satisfied." Zhao Yunxian laughed happily.

……

Since then, Zhao Sheng has settled down on Qionggui Island.

He likes to be quiet and doesn't like to move. Although he declined the banquet invitations from each room of the Zhao family in succession, he was not rude at all.Every time he politely refused, he would give back a few bottles of elixir, both first- and second-tier, and the quality was high.

Such an approachable demeanor made all the houses of the Zhao family very happy, and more and more invitations with different patterns flew over at once.

Zhao Sheng is not really a nice guy, he just used excuses to show kindness because all the houses are his descendants, anyway, the fat and water don't flow to outsiders.

However, their greedy desire to make further progress is wishful thinking.

Zhao Sheng's method was very simple, he just passed all the invitations to Zhao Yunxian.

Within a day, this evil wind disappeared immediately, and Zhao Sheng's side immediately became clean.

As an otaku cultivating immortals, his daily schedule is full.

There are three fixed hours of practice every day, and half an hour of deep sleep.

A fixed hour every day is used to refine the talisman, so as not to be born by hand.At the same time, two to three hours a day are used to refine alchemy, most of which are refining first-order panacea, and occasionally it takes a few days to refine a furnace of second-level panacea when inspiration strikes.

During this period, when the state was adjusted to the peak, Zhao Sheng also took the initiative to refine a batch of foundation building pills, and successfully produced three pills, one middle-grade and two low-grade.

To make a digression, after frenzied alchemy on Jiuzhen Island, his success rate in refining Foundation Establishment Pills has reached [-]%, but the number and quality of the pills produced are not satisfactory, with an average of one to four.There are more than [-] Foundation Establishment Pills in total, but none of them can reach top grade.

The reason for this may be the quality of the elixir, or the method of alchemy, or there may be some unknown tricks.

In short, limited by his own knowledge and vision, Zhao Sheng thinks that he has reached a bottleneck, and it will be difficult to break through the bottleneck in a short period of time with external help.

At present, he has accumulated as many as six Foundation Establishment Pills, but there are only three Qianwen Xingzao Fruits left.

If there is no new breakthrough, he has decided not to try to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill for the time being.

The rest of the time, apart from refining the Liuhe Mayfly Shield, is mostly used to extensively read and delve into ancient books, secret records of different techniques, exercises and various knowledge of cultivating immortals.This is not only to accumulate for advanced Jindan, but also to further consolidate one's own foundation.

The more he studied deeply, the more deeply Zhao Sheng felt how vast, obscure and profound the knowledge of a cultivating civilization is.

He is obsessed with the pleasure of exploring the unknown and practicing. He always feels that there is not enough time, and he wished there were 48 hours in a day.

Zhao Sheng knew that his state of mind was very wrong.He who owns the Book of Eternal Times doesn't need to be so impatient, the correct solution is to enjoy life freely.

It's just that he understands the truth, but it's really hard to describe his state at this time.

Obsessed is not a good adjective.But the Zhao Sheng used to describe this world is quite appropriate.He only got the word "obsessed", but he didn't really "enlighten himself".

Maybe wait until a certain life, when you feel tired, you will truly "enlighten" the truth.

In this life, he just "enjoyed it and was obsessed with it".

……

The demon wave is here!

I can't say which day it started. When a grain transport ship was attacked and sank by sea beasts near the Qionggui Island, the Qionggui Island was in a panic, and there was a feeling of panic.

Everyone in the Zhao family realized that the demon tide had finally arrived. While everyone was panicking and frightened, they felt a wonderful sense of relief in their hearts.It's like a heavy hammer hanging in the sky finally fell to the ground, so you don't have to worry about it all day long.

According to the pre-established plan, the tortoise and its affiliated islands will be cleared of the walls, and the population will retreat to the settlements deep in the island land, leaving the surrounding area of ​​the island empty.

At the same time, except for the Qionggui Treasure Ship and the two Tier [-] Spirit Ships, all other ordinary ships stopped at the dock, and no sails were allowed to go into the sea.

As long as you don't intentionally provoke a war, the Kraken will generally not land.

Therefore, the 30 members of the Zhao family stayed on the island peacefully, and their safety was not hindered for the time being.

In this way, half a year passed by.

In the past six months, the Zhao family has received countless reports from outsiders, especially the most detailed and accurate reports from Longshou Island.

But one afternoon, a sudden and shocking news made all the cultivators of the Zhao family stunned.

Longshou Island has fallen!

Thousands of years later, the Tianguan of Longshou Island was once again breached by sea monsters.

Ten days ago, Great Elder Lingyuan of the Sea Demon Clan led three monster kings of the seventh and eighth ranks and more than 100 sea monsters of the third rank and above. Across the vast ocean, they suddenly attacked Longshou Island.

After persisting for less than three days, Longshou Island was breached and the defense formation was broken. The Four Saint Immortal Cultivation Group headed by Patriarch Chongfeng suffered heavy casualties, and the island's millions of people did not survive.

A few days before the fall of Longshou Island, six key spiritual islands including Fufeng Island and Zhi'ao Island were easily breached by sea beast army in succession.In ten days, the forward of the army had already arrived at Longshou Island.It will rush into the inner star sea in a few days,

Seeing a loss of life is inevitable.However, the whole Zhao family breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the Turtle Island is on the edge of the alien sea, since the siren tide will hit the inner star sea, it means that the disaster of extinction will hardly fall on the Zhao family.

As for the Broken Star Sea human race, there will inevitably be countless casualties, but that... so what.Anyway, as long as my family doesn't die, I don't care what other people do.

It has to be said that the mentality of the Zhao family is very similar to that of most Xiuxian families.

This is the characteristic of island civilization. Because of the barriers of terrain, inconvenient communication, and living on small islands, over time, most mortals and even some cultivators have developed a mentality of indifference and indifference. .

Upon learning of this shocking news, the two Zhao family builders who stayed behind on Qionggui Island were extremely anxious.

It's not just because one of Zhao's Foundation Establishment and five Qi Refining Late Stages are now trapped on Longshou Island, life and death uncertain.Another important factor is the serious consequences caused by the fall of Longshou Island.

Longshou Island is located between the inner and outer Xinghai, not only guarding the traffic arteries, but also the core of the entire Xinghai.

There is not only a third-order spiritual vein on the island, but also nearly a hundred first- and second-order branched spiritual veins in the nearby thousands of miles of sea area. There are countless spiritual mines and fields under the sea. A rare high spirit area in the Pillar Realm.

Normally, Longshou Island has at least one Yuanying Patriarch sitting on the island, and the Four Saints' Cultivation Group is also stationed on the island.

Every time a sea monster tide comes, Longshou Island will bear the brunt.

If the three overlords of the Spirit Race, Ba Haizhang and Jiaolong want to lead the endless sea beasts into the Inner Star Sea, they must break through Longshou Island.

If you choose to go around, you will face the danger of front and rear pincer attacks.Second, when going back and forth, it is easy to be shut down and beat the dog, or the herd of sea beasts is divided and disintegrated, and they are defeated one by one.

Regardless of Longshou Island's resources and military status, it is also a well-deserved center for the transfer of commercial and trade materials in the entire Alien Sea.

Not to mention the cultivation resources, the meat and other bulk goods that are most important to ordinary people have to be traded on Longshou Island in a centralized manner, and then after deployment and turnover, they are finally transported to the islands of the Outer Star Sea.

This is the invisible control of the various cultivating forces in the Inner Star Sea and the many spiritual island families and sects in the Outer Star Sea.

However, now Longshou Island has fallen.

what does this mean?
All those in charge of the Zhao family who knew the seriousness of the consequences all looked stern and frowned.

"Dingda, hurry up and invite your master!"

In the Tongxin Hall, all the elders of the Zhao family and members of the Xiuxian clan are here, Zhao Yunxian thought for a while, and ordered Zhao Dingda decisively.

"Yes, Patriarch." Zhao Dingda responded quickly, turned around and left.

After a while, Zhao Dingda respectfully led Zhao Sheng into Tongxin Hall.

Looking at the layout and furnishings of this Tongxin Hall, Zhao Sheng seemed to have returned to Longli Lake hundreds of years ago.

He was in a daze for a moment, but quickly regained his composure, and bowed hands to two fellow monks Zhao Yunxian and Zhao Hanguang.

As soon as he sat down, Zhao Yunxian couldn't wait to tell about the fall of Longshou Island and the current dangerous situation.

After Zhao Sheng digested the bad news, he admitted that the food on the island could only last half a year at most.

The fall of Longshou Island means that this sea monster tide will not end easily
Will this catastrophe last for a year?two years?Maybe even longer.

Facing 30 clansmen who were starving for food, Zhao Yunxian, as the head of the clan, had to prepare for the worst.

Without his detailed explanation, Zhao Sheng immediately realized that his life of self-cultivation was over.

".As the guest of the Zhao family (the old ancestor), it is naturally obligatory to contribute to the Zhao family. What's more, the poor Taoist has not thanked you for the matter of the Liuhe Mayfly Shield. If you have something to do, just order it." Zhao Sheng said bluntly.

Zhao Yunxian was overjoyed when he heard the words, his face was filled with gratitude and relief, and after saying a few words of thanks, he revealed his plan.

To sum it up in one sentence, dispatch the treasured turtle ship to the Xinghai Islands as soon as possible, try every means to buy food, and at the same time trade the resources for cultivating immortals.

The first goal is Bi Luo Island known as "Dragon Claw".It is the second largest spiritual island in the Outer Star Sea after Longshou Island. Thousands of small and medium-sized islands are scattered within thousands of miles nearby. It is not only famous for its developed commerce and trade, but also a famous grain-producing area.

……

Seven days later, in a certain sea area.

The originally calm and blue sea surface seemed to be boiling at this moment. Large sheets of white sea foam kept rolling out, and under the cover of the foam, blue banner fishes more than three meters long suddenly jumped out of the sea surface, incomparably Crazy crashed into a shiny black, three-masted ship with double decks on the sea.

Among these blue flag swordfish, there are even larger first-order swordfish.

Stripes of sharp blue light like sword lights shot out from the thorns on their heads from time to time, shooting and killing all the living creatures on board.

Green Banner Swordfish is a kind of small and medium-sized marine fish with gentle nature and gregarious nature. It has a bony bone like a long sword on its head, a flag-shaped long fin on its back, and hard scales all over its body.
Ordinary adult swordfish can usually grow to more than three meters long, and can swim faster than a galloping horse on land. They can easily swim thousands of miles in a day and night

Generally speaking, ten swordfish may give birth to a first-order demon fish, and a fish school with more than one hundred fish will often give birth to a second-order green banner swordfish leader.

The second-order blue flag swordfish is at least two feet tall, and its swimming speed in the sea is no less than that of a foundation-builder cultivator flying with an imperial weapon. The spiritual thorns on its head are extremely tough, and its sharpness is no less than that of a low-grade flying sword.

Normally, the school of green flag swordfish would not attack passing sea ships, but at this moment they turned into a group of terrifying killers with astonishing efficiency.

At this time, Zhao Dingda timidly hid behind the crowd at the hatch below the second deck, and boldly cheered up everyone's morale loudly.

"Hold on! My master will definitely come back. Brothers and uncles hold on!"

The defense mask of the treasure ship of the dome turtle was shattered by the green banner swordfish's crazily stabbing as early as a quarter of an hour ago.

The 25 Qi-refining clan members of the Zhao family had to retreat to the cabins and corners of the boat. With the help of the strong hull, they formed a small group of twos and threes, and with difficulty resisted the attack of the swordfish school.

At this time, blood was flowing everywhere on the deck, and the strong smell of blood filled the cabin.

The deck of the treasure ship was full of deep scratches similar to sword marks, and the three sails were already full of holes, and most of them were torn, and two of the three masts had been knocked off.

Facing a large school of nearly a thousand blue bannerfish, everyone on board was a little desperate.

However, since the attack, Daoist Cen Hezi, who was in charge of the treasure ship, plunged into the sea suddenly, and never showed his face again, and he did not know whether he was alive or dead.

In the hundred-zhang-deep sea below the treasured dome ship, Zhao Sheng looked solemn, surrounded by three layers of mysterious ice walls.

Outside the ice wall, six streaks of black light could be seen whirling at extreme speed, as fast as lightning, blocking the thick cyan sword lights that shot in three feet away.

At the same time, in the dark sea water a few feet away, there were five huge and slender dark blue shadows, quickly surrounding Zhao Sheng, swimming back and forth, left and right.
