Best Ascension

Chapter 396 Luck and Involution

In life, there are some things that you can't understand, and you can avoid them from a distance, so that you can't see them, just like Zhao Jingyuan.

But the world is turbulent, and where there are interests, there will be disputes, not to mention the battle for the throne of one of the seven dynasties of Central Continent.

Even though Zhao Sheng is the Yuanying Patriarch with a detached status, he still cannot avoid it.

Now he hides in the Zhao Clan's secret mansion in the name of retreating to consolidate his realm, but there are still "relatives" who bring people to come to him on their own initiative.

After thousands of years, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the spiritual realm of the secret mansion. A large amount of earth and rocks have been excavated and transported away, and the area of ​​the secret mansion has increased dramatically.

But what remains unchanged is the ancient flat peach tree that is getting bigger and bigger, more beautiful and magical.

This ancient spirit peach tree stands in the center of the secret mansion, with a lush and huge canopy covering the sky and the sun, covering more than [-] miles, it looks like a towering mountain, ancient and vast.

Groups of spiritual clouds flowed and wandered under the canopy of the tree, and the water mist was hazy, lingering all over the garden, so that the countless rare herbs and precious medicines below were full of moisture and grew stronger and more vigorous than the outside world.

After Zhao Xuanjing was promoted to Huashen, Zeng Yu sent Shanlong to sort out the ground veins and open up the surrounding spiritual veins in the underground of the secret mansion.After years of hard work, the spiritual veins of the Secret Mansion have now been successfully promoted to the third-order spiritual veins, becoming an indispensable spiritual realm for the Zhao family.

What's more, there is the only ancient spiritual root in the world in the secret mansion, and the longevity peach, which matures every hundred years, is incalculably precious.

After all, there is no other god in the world that can prolong one's lifespan. It is conceivable how much the ancestors of Yuanying and even the true kings of Huashen desire this thing.

It is also for this reason that there is a Yuanying patriarch sitting in Zhao's secret mansion all year round, and Shanlong often shows up here, using the trunk of a flat peach tree to shed the old skin.

Coupled with the ancestors of the Zhao family guarding the Feishengtai, it can be said that the Zhao family's secret mansion is one of the safest forbidden places in the Tianzhu world, and almost no Xiaoxiao dares to peep here.

However, the secret mansion can guard against outsiders, but it can't stop "our own people".

The ancient flat peach tree towers into the sky, and the thick trunk covered by ten people is covered with dragon scales and green horns. A thick and twisted tree root protrudes from the ground, like huge dragons walking wantonly between the soil layers. Full of terrifying vitality like an explosion.

At this time, an extremely elegant and simple wooden building was suspended on the waist of a tree hundreds of feet high. On the terrace of the wooden building was a jade couch. Reading this book attentively seems to be addicted to it.

After cupping tea, a handsome young man in green robe suddenly flew up to the terrace from below, and landed beside the jade couch without a sound.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Sheng raised his head from the book, a trace of helplessness flashed between his brows and eyes.

The green-robed young man lowered his eyebrows and said softly, "Old Ancestor, it's Qingshan Ancestor from this lineage who came to visit with people."

Zhao Sheng sighed secretly, put down the ancient scroll, stood up, and signaled: "Since it is the ancestor of this lineage, I can't avoid it. Let's go, go to greet him."

As he spoke, he soared into the air and fell down from the terrace. The young man in green robe hurriedly followed after seeing this.

Not long after, Zhao Sheng took the two of them with a warm smile, flew back to the terrace, and then called them to sit down.

These two people are one old and one young.The old man has big ears, is more than ten feet tall, as burly as an iron tower, and his eyes burst into light when he opens and closes. He is Qingshan Patriarch, one of the three Yuanying Patriarchs of Shen Zimai.

The younger one is a young man in his twenties, with a face like a crown of jade, but with a heroic temperament, born with a noble air, his cultivation is so-so, but he has already broken through the foundation.

"Haha, before the old man came, I heard the ancestor of Changdu say many times, saying that you Qiongtian is a natural talent for cultivating immortals, and you are only a hundred years old, but you are already at the same level as our elders. When I saw you today, I realized that seeing a hundred things is not as good as seeing it once." I, Shen Zimai, have finally produced another great talent! Congratulations!"

"Patriarch Qingshan has won the award. The younger generation is just an orphan who wandered in another world, but admired the clan. The reason why he is lucky to be here today is all thanks to the life-saving grace of ancestor Changdu. Otherwise, Qiongtian would have died in the pursuit of Tiandao Sect down."

Patriarch Qingshan waved his hand: "Hey, Qiongtian, you are too humble. If you are lucky, wouldn't the gang of children with eyes above the top of the clan all be a bunch of waste. Besides, you have always had the Zhao family in your body. Bloodline, it is only natural for the ancestor of Changdu to save you. Just keep this kindness in your heart and don’t take it too seriously.”

Zhao Sheng smiled slightly, then turned his head to look at the young man suddenly, and asked with a smile: "Old Ancestor, you haven't introduced this handsome young man yet?"

"Oh, look at this old man's memory. Heart Talisman, why don't you hurry up and pay respects to Patriarch Qiongtian."

"Xinzi's descendant, Zhao Xinfu pays homage to the ancestor of heaven."

When the heroic young man stood up and kowtowed respectfully to Zhao Sheng, Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed, and he swung his sleeve and flicked out a mana to block Zhao Xinfu's kneeling motion.

But at this moment, Qingshan patriarch popped out an invisible mana, which dissipated Zhao Sheng's power and made Zhao Xinfu kneel down smoothly.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng smiled helplessly, and accepted the other party's complete bowing ceremony.

Next to him, the ancestor Qingshan also explained: "You don't know about Qiongtian. Since ancient times, only etiquette cannot be abolished! There are hundreds of millions of people in the family, and there are no rules. It is the first time for this kid, Xinfu, to pay respects to the ancestor. .Of course, I will see you later, just do the Jishou bow. Except for the ancestor worship ceremony, there is no need to kneel down on weekdays."

Zhao Sheng nodded, waved his sleeves again, lifted Zhao Xinfu from the ground, and asked at the same time: "I just returned to my clan, but I didn't know that the Xinfu was the descendant of that old ancestor?"

"I was going to tell you in detail. The heart symbol is the ninth prince of today. If you go up, the ancestor is the second son of Qingyang ancestor, Huaxiong Xuanzu. Of course, although the current royal family is divided into two branches , but they are all descendants of Qingyang Patriarch.

Speaking of which, all descendants of the royal family have to thank you, thank you for bringing back the news of Patriarch Qingyang. "

Hearing this, without further ado, Zhao Xinfu wanted to kneel down and salute again, but was pushed back by Zhao Sheng, who had quick eyesight and quick hands.

"Okay, don't be too polite." Zhao Sheng said quickly.It's too much red tape, and it's annoying!
Patriarch Qingshan saw everything in his eyes, probably already knew what kind of person Zhao Sheng was.

He secretly cast a wink at Zhao Xinfu, who nodded slightly.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Qingshan Patriarch took out a sealed jade box and presented it to Zhao Sheng. At the same time, he said with a smile: "I learned that you have successfully crossed the tribulation before. The first-level high-grade spiritual veins and the land deed with a radius of thousands of miles are used as congratulatory gifts. Don't be disgusted!"

"It's absolutely impossible! The gift from the ancestor is too expensive. The junior cannot accept it." Zhao Sheng's heart moved, and he immediately refused to accept it.

Patriarch Qingshan said disapprovingly: "It's just a mere gift. According to the rules, every time a new Yuanying Patriarch is born in the family, not only other Taishang clan elders will send congratulatory gifts, but also send invitations to Zhongzhou to hold the Nascent Soul Ceremony. Yes. You have to accept this gift, or you will break the rules."

"That's all right! Qiongtian is here to thank the ancestor for the gift." Seeing this situation, Zhao Sheng had no choice but to accept this "gift".

"That's right! Rules are rules and cannot be broken!" Seeing this, Patriarch Qingshan showed a satisfied smile on his face.

After Zhao Sheng accepted the jade box, he thought for a while, took out a bloody treasure talisman from his arms, waved it to Zhao Xinfu's table, and said with a smile: "Since it is a rule, I don't want to violate it. But I saw that the heart talisman was dignified, and I couldn't help but feel happy. This is an escape talisman I drew in the early years, called the Baili Huahong talisman, it is quite powerful, and I will give it to you today."

"This gift from the elder, I dare not resign! I accept the heart talisman, thank you for the generous gift from the ancestor!" Zhao Xinfu hesitated for a moment, but quickly accepted this third-order high-grade treasure talisman.

Zhao Sheng nodded secretly, as expected of a prince who has the ability to fight for the throne, he is well-mannered, neither humble nor overbearing, and his personality and character are also extraordinary.

In fact, from the moment he saw Patriarch Qingshan and Zhao Xinfu, Zhao Sheng already knew the reason for their visit.

Of course, the two of them didn't hide anything. Since they had come in person, it was self-evident what kind of intentions they had.

Both parties are well aware of it, so there is no need to point it out.

A few days ago, Zhao Sheng had already sent away two waves of "distinguished guests". Today, these two are the slowest to respond.

At this moment, the young man in the green robe flew up to the terrace just right, holding the teapot and cup in his hand, and offered the three thousand-year-old peach blossom tea to the three of them one by one.

During the three people tasting tea, the patriarch of Qingshan talked to Zhao Sheng eloquently about some major events that happened since the founding of the Zhao clan in Nantian in 2000.

From the beginning when the ancestor founded the family in Longli Lake, it was said that the family had no choice but to move to Taiwu Mountain, and then rose rapidly.

Then the ancestor Xuanjing achieved the golden pill, put down Xinglongyuan in the first battle, and established the foundation of the king.

Then it was thousands of years of accumulation, and the family grew stronger and stronger. Finally, 300 years ago, the Zhao family of Nantian sent troops from the southern border, entered the Wanguo Plain, conquered 30 million miles of mountains and rivers in 700 years, and finally established one of the seven overlord dynasties in Central Continent Big Zhao...

Zhao Sheng listened quietly, occasionally echoing a few words, which made the other party more excited.

Most of the "old things" that Qingshan talked about were worked out by Zhao Sheng, and he felt much more deeply than the commentator.

But listening to his descendants bragging about how their ancestors were, Zhao Sheng found it very interesting, so he listened more seriously.

Qingshan's lecture lasted two hours. When he talked about the history of family entrepreneurship in the past few hundred years, he was obviously much more detailed.

However, he began to secretly mix private goods in it, many of whom exalted the high and trampled the low, and said very presumptuously.

As a Nascent Soul Patriarch, Qing Shan didn't bother to hide his opinion, and what he said was all his own experience.

The second half of the Zhao family's "history of entrepreneurship" gradually favored the Dazhao royal family, especially the first three generations of "emperors", who were also juniors of Qingshan, so naturally they would not be ignored.

".The founding emperor was called Zhao Jingheng, a ruthless man, not only ranked first among his peers in terms of heart and wisdom, but also unmatched among clansmen under the age of [-], so he became the founding emperor of Dazhao.

Hehe, he also benefited the most from it.He took up one-tenth of the luck of founding the country.Less than 30 years after ascending the throne, he was actually promoted from Foundation Establishment to Jindan in one go, and when he abdicated a hundred years later, this kid actually reached the late Jindan stage. "

Hearing this, Zhao Sheng suddenly interjected: "Ten days ago, Patriarch Jing Heng came here. Well, he is really a dragon among men, and he must be the mainstay of my Zhao family in the future."

Patriarch Qingshan's expression changed slightly when he heard the words, but he still waved his hands pretending not to care, and said relaxedly: "It turns out that Jing Heng has such fast legs and feet, no wonder he was in his early years. Let's not talk about him, let's talk about Da Zhao's. The second emperor Zhao Miaodi.
Speaking of him, it must be said that Jing Heng really set a "good example".The so-called luck is a treasure, ten thousand gold is hard to buy!The Emperor Dazhao was blessed with the luck of the country, and his cultivation speed was extremely fast, not to mention that it would be difficult to add a thousand disasters to him.

If the ancestors hadn't set the rule of changing the throne every hundred years in advance, I'm afraid that boy Jing Heng would sit on it with a shameless face and not abdicate.

Therefore, the intensity of this second battle for the throne can be imagined.

Although it was Zhao Miaodi who won the position in the end, it wasn't that no one was better than him, it can only be said that God's will is unpredictable.Of course, this child is still qualified to be an emperor, but one thing is very bad, that is, his desire for power is too hot.He only narrowly promoted to Jindan when he abdicated, wasting such a great opportunity in vain.It's really rotten wood that can't be carved! "

Zhao Sheng nodded slightly, as if agreeing.

Seeing this scene, Patriarch Qingshan's eyes flashed brightly, and the conversation changed and he began to talk about the third emperor, Zhao Xinfu's biological father, Zhao Hengfeng.

That this one won in the end completely exceeded the expectations of most of the clansmen.

Because both Zhao Jingheng and Zhao Miaodi came from Zhao Huaying's branch, but Zhao Hengfeng came from Zhao Huaxiong's branch. A great talent appeared in the branch that was originally unable to spy on the big position, and he snatched the throne from others. It is conceivable how strong his xinxing ability is.

Patriarch Qingshan did not mention how "wonderful" the battle for the throne a hundred years ago was, but Zhao Shengguang could guess that without the secret support of Qingshan or more ancestors of Yuanying, Zhao Hengfeng would have been able to seize the throne. Strange.

Zhao Sheng thought about it, and immediately understood what Qingshan and the others were thinking.

If the throne has been passed on in the hands of the Huaying branch, it will definitely cause a serious imbalance in the strength of the Shenzimai branch.

Not only that, but would the other seven veins, such as benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, watch the word "shen" occupy the throne and use the power of the dynasty to "eat meat"?

Certainly not!

Throughout the ages, only benefits are the most touching!
No matter how fast the Nantian Zhao Clan's power expands, no matter how large its sphere of influence is, after all, the resources for cultivating immortals are limited, and it is impossible to satisfy the appetite of all clan cultivators.

So, let's "roll" together!

And not only with the outside forces, but also with the people of the clan.

Rolling over others is like the first emperor Zhao Jingheng, who was promoted to Yuanying in just 300 years.

But others can only blame you for being useless. You have lived honestly for 80 years, and at most you will have a few children to worship incense, and finally buried in the family cemetery, only to be turned into ashes in a hundred years.

There is no doubt that Zhao Hengfeng's position as emperor must be the result of "involvement", and other clans must have made great efforts in secret.

Zhao Sheng even dared to be sure that some of the other seven lines of the Zhao family must have received rich rewards in the past hundred years.

The result is obvious, the battle for the throne this time must be more intense than it was a hundred years ago.

But what does everything have to do with him?

Anyway, after fighting and fighting, the one who will be the emperor in the end will be his descendants of Zhao Sheng!
Hey, I know what you guys mean, but I don't want to get involved, just one word "play".
