Best Ascension

Chapter 371 Entering the Mountain Gate

The sky is high, wide and magnificent, with thousands of miles of clouds.

Above the sea of ​​clouds, there is a floating island with beautiful mountains and waters, and the floating island with many palace buildings is like a huge boat, flying silently but swiftly to the depths of the vast sea of ​​clouds.

The wind was fierce, and the surface of the formation mask covering the entire island burst out from time to time, which was a phenomenon caused by the violent friction between the floating dust and the mask.

On the mountainside of Yuming Peak in the island, Zhai Kong stood on a high platform, quietly gazing at the sea of ​​clouds in the distance, his eyes were sunken deeply, condensing a chill.

Zhao Sheng was by his side, silent.

At this moment, he frowned, raised his head, and saw ice particles and snowflakes fluttering down over the mountain peak, and there was a sudden blizzard.

Seeing this scene, Zhaikong opened his mouth: "The vision of ice wind and snow is Senior Brother Xiao Jiuke!"

His voice lowered unconsciously, as if he was very afraid of this person.

Another gust of wind whizzed by, the two faced the void, and suddenly there was an extra person.

As soon as the visitor appeared, gusts of cold currents were born out of nowhere, and the cold wind carried ice and snow, blowing into the building, and it was extremely cold.

When Zhao Sheng looked at the person, what impressed him the most was a ferocious blue face.

This man was over ten feet tall, and his muscles were bulging like iron, he really looked like a terrifying giant.

This Xiao Jiuke was actually a rare member of the Guichi clan, that is, a warrior of the Shura clan who protects the Dharma of the Tiandao Sect.

This person is the Golden Core powerhouse who sits second to the first in the Wanhua Tianfu, and his status is only below that of Zhou Bo and Zhai Kong.

But Zhao Sheng thought that Xiao Jiuke's identity was higher than the two, not only because the Shura clan was the Pope's henchmen, but also because this person had a great chance of being promoted to the Nascent Soul.

As soon as Xiao Jiuke looked at him, Zhao Sheng felt that Zhai Kong was a little nervous, as if he was a little afraid of this person, and even a little hostile.

As for Zhao Sheng, he simply laughed first and said, "It turns out that senior Xiao Jiuke is here, please come in quickly."

As soon as he said this, Zhaikong also reacted, and immediately said with a smile on his face: "Xiao Hufa, are you also here to form an alliance with our senior brothers?"

Zhao Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard the words, but he looked at Xiao Jiuke.

Xiao Jiuke finally spoke, his voice was like a steel knife slashing iron, sonorous and ear-piercing: "Tian Xinzi of the Heitian Sect said that he wanted to fight against a certain family. This is double-sided, and he is used to tricking ghosts and tricks. When it comes to fighting, I'm afraid he will pull people to help "

He didn't explain why he came, but there was something vaguely revealed in his words.

"Tianxinzi?"

Zhao Sheng said in surprise: "'No Shadow' Tianxinzi is the sixth son of the Heitian Sect. This person is famous for being despicable and vulgar, and he is cruel and ruthless. He is always protected by seven or eight Jindan puppets. Let's move, He often rushes to him, he is a first-class shameless person...Senior Xiao, could it be that you have made an enmity with this guy."

As if feeling his doubts, Xiao Jiuke stepped on the void, walked up to the balcony step by step, and said in a low voice: "Tian Xinzi is just Tian Luozi's running dog, and he is nothing to worry about. Tian Luozi is the enemy of a certain family." .This person...Golden elixir has been completed for six years, and his strength is unfathomable, especially for the Huaying elixir."

"Oh? It is rumored that Tian Luozi of the Heitian Sect closed the death test as early as 30 years ago. He didn't hesitate to break through the test just for the mere infant transformation pill?!"

"Not only him, but also Fairy Ziyu from the Wendao School, Dong Qingyang from the Zhiren Sect... the all-powerful Wen Zhongfei, Taoist Miaomiao from the Tianjun Sect, these people will all come, and the Qiuling will be enlightened, and the wind and clouds will come. International meeting."

"It's indeed the Fengyun Jihui..." Zhao Sheng was very emotional. These people were all famous, and they were all the true Nascent Souls of the major forces, and they were all sent out this time.

Undoubtedly, the matter of the Qiuling Sect's treasure hunting must have become a battlefield for the major sects to compete with each other.

One side is for the sect, the other side is for oneself, it only depends on who can overwhelm the others.

The fame and treasures obtained from this are still second to none, the key is to use victory to strengthen the Dao heart - only with an invincible heart can you survive the Nascent Soul's catastrophe!
"Could this be the real purpose of the Qiu Ling Festival?"

Zhao Sheng's mind was agitated, with thousands of thoughts.

He didn't listen carefully to what was said later, Xiao Jiuke talked with Zhai Kong for a few more words, and after making an appointment to watch the battle, he left with the wind and snow and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Only then did Zhaikong let out a long breath:
"I heard that this person's Shura combat physique has reached a great level, and his cultivation level is also perfect. Seeing him today, the rumors are indeed true!"

Zhao Sheng turned his eyes to the distance, nodded slightly and said: "Yes, meeting is better than being famous! Xiao Jiuke is a formidable enemy."

……

A day later, the floating island galloped forward against the sun.The golden-red rays spread over the clouds, and through the gaps in the clouds, one can see the vast and magnificent sea below.

At this time, more than ten people gathered on the Dharma platform on the top of Yuming Peak, except for the eight spirit card holders, the rest were escorts and Dharma protectors.

The person in the lead is the high priest Jiangyao. This person has long and narrow cheeks, and he has a horse face.It's just that he has a dignified expression, no smile, and his brows are as serious as iron, which makes people dare not insult him lightly, but he really has a sense of power without anger.

At this time, the great priest of subduing demons closed his eyes slightly, resting his mind on his own, and all the golden elixirs behind him unconsciously lowered their voices, appearing to be in awe.

Zhao Sheng looked around, except for Xiao Jiuke and Zhai Kong, the other six were all famous and powerful, and everyone was also the chief priest of the late Jindan period.

Against the background of these people, Zhao Sheng is particularly conspicuous. Even though he has earned a reputation as a demon star, compared with other people, he is obviously "unknown".

Still, no one took him lightly.

Those corpses on the Most Wanted Gold List have proved that Que Yue's "high disciple" is not easy to mess with.

The setting sun had already sunk below the sea of ​​clouds, and the floating island was suddenly shaken and plummeted down at the same time.

"Are you there?!" Zhao Sheng said to himself shyly.

"Well, here we are. Look there!"

Following Zhaikong's direction and looking into the distance, Zhao Sheng let out a light "Huh".

He saw that on the sparkling sea, there was a land with a different color.

It was a dark gray area, and occasionally huge bubbles and swirling vortexes could be seen. It seemed that there was some kind of power turbulent below.

At this moment, near the gray-black sea area, there are floating spirit islands and seven or eight kinds of large-scale flying magic weapons comparable to the roc-class cloud boats.

On the surface of the sea, each of the seventeen factions occupies one part of the waters, and many imposing golden elixir powerhouses, led by the high priests of each family, come together to watch.

An invisible but heavy coercion came from below in an instant, which moved people.

"It was caused by the leakage of the power of Qiuling Sect's mountain guard formation. Hey, the other sects have arrived early, so they are waiting for our Tiandao Sect? Wait for the joke, maybe they have already formed an alliance?" Zhaikong smiled coldly , casually said to Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Sheng didn't respond, he knew that Zhai Kong must be nervous, so he had nothing to say.

"Let's go!" With the wave of the robe of the Jiangyao priest, a hundred-foot-big spiritual cloud condensed out of thin air.

Xiao Jiuke, Zhaikong, Liyanfeng, Taoist Lingfu... the eight Jindan priests also jumped onto Lingyun one after another.

Suddenly, a group of clouds drifted out from the floating island and slowly landed on the sea, facing the other seventeen families.

At this time, someone suddenly sneered and said: "Hehe, you old monsters, you Tiandaoists are too arrogant. This time, you are the last one to arrive again."

"Hmph, Xiaolong, do you have an opinion? You Heitian Sect always remember to eat but not fight! Do you have to challenge my teacher? Or, how about the two of us doing a game first?"

Zhao Sheng's heart skipped a beat, and he looked to the southwest, where a man was walking out. He had a white beard and a one-horned dragon wrapped around his waist.

The dragon ancestor blew his beard and stared, and shouted angrily: "You really think that I am afraid that you will fail, come on, let's go outside the boundary first and relax."

Hearing this, Zhao Sheng knew he couldn't fight.

At this time, someone came forward to smooth things over: "Wait a minute, the two fellow Taoists have important business to do. Don't waste the time."

At a glance, he has a yellow face, yellow beard, and a khaki gown. He looks like an old farmer. He turned out to be the patriarch of the Wendao School.

This person is a rare great spiritual master in the Nether God Realm. He has lived for nearly 3000 years. He can be called the old birthday star in Yuanying.

Once the Patriarch Jidi opened his mouth, everyone would give him some face.

Ever since, a turmoil quickly dissipated.

Zhai Kong had seen many big scenes, so he came over quietly: "According to calculations, the Shoushan formation will be cracked in the last day or two. But this is not accurate, the spiritual energy fluctuations here are quite violent. They will all be broken, Junior Brother, you must follow me closely later, don't be alone."

Zhao Sheng nodded slightly: "Well, I'm going to bother senior brother."

After the Tiandaoists showed up, there was no point in waiting for a long time.

As night fell, the sea suddenly shook. Looking down, a huge vortex with a diameter of ten miles was formed in an instant, followed by a wave of spiritual energy. .

In an instant, a huge pillar of spiritual energy rose into the sky with the huge waves, and the rumbling sound resounded throughout the universe.

At this time, the high priest of Jiangyao frowned suddenly, and turned his attention to Zhao Sheng and the others again: "The spiritual energy is leaking, the mountain gate is wide open, are you all ready?"

Xiao Jiuke, Zhai Kong and others suddenly agreed.Immediately, an astonishing aura erupted from everyone.

Zhao Sheng's eyes flickered, looking at Xiao Jiuke, Taoist Lingfu and others in front of him calmly and confidently.

He couldn't help being a little surprised.

This kind of calmness is the confidence in their own strength, and there is also the solid confidence brought to them by the behemoth of Tiandaojiao.

"go!"

Jianguang, the sound of escaping light breaking through the sky, nearly a hundred Jindan priests floated into the air, fell into the sea, and quickly dived towards the source of the spiritual energy column.

The deep sea passed by in an instant, and there was already light looming below.Seen from a distance, a huge trench with a width of about [-] feet was opened on the seabed, and a giant silver light shield was propped up in the depth of the trench.

At this time, a narrow and long crack opened on the surface of the mask, and as many as nine Yuanying ancestors on both sides of the crack were joining forces to form a large formation, maintaining the crack with the power of the formation, and not allowing it to be bridged.

Among them is the Great Sacrifice of Subduing Demons.

Seeing this scene, there was no need for the ancestors to remind, one after another sword light and escape light rushed through the gap in the mask and entered the Qiuling sect mountain gate.

……

"Brother, follow closely!"

Before the words fell, a dead and empty world had appeared in front of Zhao Sheng.
The rich death energy and spiritual energy are mixed together, merging into a cloud of gray "smoke" that pervades the world.

The sky, towering mountains, and continuous buildings and palaces are all covered with a layer of gray smog.

At a glance, there are bones everywhere, ghosts in the mist, and ghost howls coming from all around. Countless malicious eyes look over from the darkness, as if countless hungry wolves saw the fat and fresh meat.

These fogs are very strange, and they have the ability to corrode the consciousness.

As soon as Zhao Sheng released his consciousness, he felt a pain in his head, and nearly one-third of his consciousness was cut off for no reason.

And the divine consciousness, which could have expanded to fifteen miles away, was greatly reduced at this time, and was compressed by the mist to only about three miles away.

You must know that with Zhao Sheng's spiritual practice, his spiritual consciousness is more than twice as strong as the ordinary Jindan Dzogchen.

He can only detect three miles away. If other people have not specially practiced the Divine Sense Technique, they will never exceed his limit, which is usually less than one or two miles away.

"Brother, where are we going next?" Zhao Sheng looked at Taoist Zhaikong beside him.

Zhaikong looked solemn, glanced at Xiao Jiuke, and said directly: "The situation has changed, and we will play it by ear later. If it doesn't work, go to Xuanyuan Tower first."

Zhao Sheng looked around and nodded at the same time.

Tiandao Sect had already handed over the internal building distribution map of Qiuling Sect to Zhao Sheng and eight people, so there was no need for them to scurry around with their heads covered.

The Xuanyuan Pavilion mentioned by Zhaikong is one of the treasure houses for storing cultivation resources, and it is also one of the several important places where Huaying Pill is very likely to be hidden.

At this time, Xiao Jiuke, who looked like a ghost, flew over and said in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Zhaikong, Tianxinzi invited me to fight at Hualongya, which is the retreat place of the Yuanying Patriarch of the Qiu Ling Sect. The treasure exists."

Zhaikong heard the words, his eyes brightened, and he immediately changed his mind: "Senior Brother Xiao, the two of us will just go with you."

At this time, the other five golden cores rushed into the thick fog and flew towards the target selected in advance.

scold!
Suddenly, a roar came from the depths of the thick fog, and suddenly a huge ten-foot fire dragon broke through the fog and appeared in front of Zhao Sheng and the others.

Li Yanfeng was furious, driving the fire dragon to fight with a burly golden corpse with golden muscles and surrounded by black air.

The dense fog filled and surged back, obscuring the battle situation ahead in an instant.

Xiao Jiuke looked serious, and said in a deep voice: "Just after entering the mountain gate, I met the golden armored corpse! This time, I'm in trouble!"

Zhai Kong's face was a little ugly, and he couldn't help but think of retreating: "Then Hualongya. Are you still going?"

Xiao Jiuke said firmly: "Go, how can you not go! Xiao is determined to win the Jiuzhuanlong nerve taught by Qiu Ling."

"How about going to the Sutra Pavilion first?" Zhao Sheng suddenly proposed at this moment.

Xiao Jiuke suddenly looked over when he heard the words, and two ice crystal-like white lights shot out from his eyes, revealing a gloomy coldness.

"Your suggestion is good. But... I will mention it next time!"

After Zhao Sheng listened, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Half an hour later, an unnamed square was full of chaos, and countless corpses were scattered all over the place.

At this moment, Zhao Sheng was standing in the center of the square, surrounded by starlight like a ribbon, with sword intent surging in his eyes.

Beside him, Xiao Jiuke and Taoist Zhaikong were adjusting their breath with their eyes closed, trying their best to recover the large amount of true energy they had consumed.

There was a faint layer of blackness on the face of Taoist Zhaikong, as if he had been injured by some powerful ghost.

The same is true in reality, just now when the three of them passed between the two peaks of Alchemy Peak and Qiqi Peak, more than ten golden elixir-level ghost kings suddenly flew out from the two peaks and jointly attacked the three of them.

Zhaikong was accidentally hit by a ghost king and suffered a slight injury.

"What happened back then? The Qiu Ling Sect's mountain gate has now become a paradise for ghosts and zombies, and it's so dangerous!"

In Zhao Sheng's murmured voice, the dark wind swirls through the square with gray mist, and if you listen carefully, the sound of the wind seems to be mixed with ghostly whistles, full of sharpness and coldness.
