Best Ascension

Chapter 404
Spring goes and autumn comes, time flies, and it has been three years in a blink of an eye.

On this day, in the spirit orifice of the fire vein under Binghuo Peak, flames rose and surged, heat waves rolled, and the entire cave was shrouded in dazzling golden light.

Zhao Sheng hung in mid-air, and his spiritual thoughts gushed out like a tide. In front of his eyes, the Golden Crow True Fire turned into a raging sea of ​​fire, and a golden mountain in the middle of the sea of ​​fire was rapidly melting into a large amount of golden water.

The golden water gathered into a lake, and the surface of the lake was burned by real fire, and strands of bright golden light rose from time to time.

As the spiritual thoughts soared, the bright golden light sank into a crimson fire gourd one after another, and turned into grains of incomparably pure golden essence in the blink of an eye.

After a cup of tea, all the gold mountains have turned into gold water, and a thick layer of gold dust has accumulated in the fire gourd, weighing about six taels.

Nuo Da a gold mountain, a total of only six taels of gold essence were extracted, which obviously did not satisfy Zhao Sheng.

But he couldn't think about it either.

After all, at least half of the surviving gold has been refined by the predecessors. Only the gold that has just been dug out from the mine recently can be refined into new gold essence.

With a thought in Zhao Sheng's mind, a blue ice talisman suddenly flew out, and a large number of ice crystals suddenly emerged out of thin air, falling into the golden water below, and white steam suddenly rose up, filling the entire cave.

sizzle!

The golden water quickly solidified again, and then streaks of sword light swam across it, cutting out pieces of gold bricks in a blink of an eye.

Zhao Sheng waved his sleeve to disperse the steam, and then threw out a storage bag. His divine sense rolled up the gold bricks like a storm, and put all the gold bricks into the storage bag in a blink of an eye.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, a large pile of gold nuggets and money fell into the sea of ​​fire like a rainstorm, and then melted quickly.
In just a short moment, there were two taels of gold essence in the fire gourd again.

……

Two days later, Zhao Sheng recalled the Chihuo Gourd, his divine sense penetrated into it, and he couldn't help saying to himself with satisfaction: "A hundred catties of gold essence is probably enough to refine a Hundred Flames Cauldron."

The Hundred Flames Cauldron is a fire element magic weapon that he conceived in recent years.

Since there was no way to get the Maori Gold Essence, Zhao Sheng had to make a Hundred Flames Cauldron to try his hand first.

Although the Hundred Flames Cauldron is an experimental product, it is also considered a rare magic weapon.

As long as his vision can be fully realized, the quality of the Hundred Flame Cauldron, which is a trial work, can reach top grade.

After all, the Zhao Clan in Nantian was so powerful, and with the help of his family, Zhao Sheng searched for sixteen or seven fire treasures in one go.

And the top-rank magic weapon is only the nine-way treasure.

Zhao Sheng's ambitions are truly boundless. In his vision, if the Hundred Flames Cauldron succeeds, he will continue to refine a Thousand Flames Cauldron.

After Qian Yan Ding was completed again, Wan Huo Ding was really put on the agenda.

Suddenly~
With a thought in Zhao Sheng's mind, the sea of ​​fire suddenly shrank and turned into a golden real fire, which suddenly flew back to the sea of ​​Qi in Dantian and disappeared.

Then, with a flash of light, his figure disappeared from the sky.

A training room in Binghuo Peak cave, Zhao Sheng just stepped out of the void, and saw a few talisman lights wandering back and forth in the room.

Spiritual thoughts penetrated into the talisman light, and several pieces of information flooded into my mind immediately.

Zhao Sheng frowned slightly, turned and walked out of the practice room.

……

On the Bixia Peak, the Tongxin Hall is dazzling and majestic.

When Zhao Sheng entered the hall, there were already two Yuanying ancestors of the Zhao family seated in the hall.

The Fourteenth Patriarch, Zhao Fuji, is a thousand-year-old otaku who rarely goes out of the Dragon Valley, so it is not unusual to appear here.

On the contrary, the appearance of another person surprised Zhao Sheng.

This person has a refined face and an easy-going temperament. He is Han Wei, the tenth patriarch of the Zhao family.This person is currently the elder of the Ziyang Zong Taishang, who formed a Taoist couple with the noble daughter of the Zhao family in the early years, and is now regarded as the Zhao family's son-in-law.

Zhao Sheng was consciously surprised, but he didn't know that others were even more surprised when they saw him appear.

Zhao Fuji was the first to chuckle, and waved to Zhao Sheng: "Qiong Tian, ​​quickly sit by my side. You usually don't leave the cave, why are you willing to pass today?"

Zhao Shengfei stepped forward, landed on the dragon chair next to Zhao Fuji, and said with a smile: "Today is about the Diyan Palace, how can I not come forward?"

Zhao Fuji was stunned, nodded and said: "Yes, yes, the old man almost lost his mind. There must be a lot of heaven and earth spirit fires in the Diyan Palace. It seems that you are also happy to see Liexin!"

Zhao Sheng smiled and said nothing, suddenly his eyelids moved slightly, and felt a scrutinizing gaze from the side, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at Han Wei.

Seeing this, Han Wei smiled heartily, and said, "I haven't seen you in a few years, but Shiliu's cultivation level has improved again. You really are a genius in heaven, no wonder you can create the life-flame thaumaturgy."

Zhao Sheng lowered his eyes and said modestly: "If there is no such thing as the tenth ancestor who is busy with family affairs, how can Qiongtian retreat and cultivate quietly. Today, I can make some progress today, all rely on the merits of the third ancestor, the tenth ancestor and others .”

"Hey, this statement is wrong! Just the merit of Mingyan Taoism is enough to make us mediocre people work for a hundred years. Sixteen, you are dedicated to Taoism, and the future is bound to have a bright future. Unlike me, Han Wei, who has lost his potential, Now I have to plan for my descendants!"

Hearing this, Zhao Sheng focused his eyes, and was about to speak, but he didn't expect Zhao Fuji to suddenly come forward to rescue him: "It's over, Brother Han, you lost your composure just now."

"Really? The old man just expressed his feelings." Han Wei smiled to himself, nodded to Zhao Sheng, closed his eyes and rested his mind, and didn't speak again.

Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed, and then he nodded slightly to Zhao Fuji.

Zhao Fuji shook his head, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was asleep.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng also closed his eyes and meditated, silently pondering the many hurdles in refining the Baiyan Ding.

After half a day, the third patriarch Zhao Changdu and the eleventh patriarch Zhou Li suddenly came hand in hand.

After the two sat down, the Taishang Clan Elders' Meeting will officially start this time.

According to the habit, Zhao Changdu was the first to speak: "A month ago, Sky-Splitting Sword Dao sent a battle post, hoping that the outcome of the three competitions will finally determine the ownership of the medium-sized spirit stone mine on Dongye Mausoleum. Who do you have?" Willing to go forward!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Sheng suddenly said, "I'll go!"

Sky Splitting Sword Dao is a holy place for sword cultivators, and there must be a lot of gold essence hidden in the sect. It is a good thing to trade with Nascent Souls of the same level while suppressing the formation.

Zhao Chang didn't even ask, and nodded directly: "Okay, the next item. The Danding faction is going to hold an alchemy conference to celebrate the addition of a Nascent Soul in the sect. Fuji, you represent the Zhao family, go there Bar!"

"Hehe! This old man happened to see an old friend." Zhao Fuji immediately responded with a smile, and then said: "By the way, that kid Wu Lei seriously injured a late-stage Golden Core of the Danding Sect in order to compete for the Transformation Pill. The old man took him to accompany him, didn't he?"

"No, you bring a thousand-year-old Purple Qi Mushroom, fellow Ziqi Daoists will understand when they see it."

"Alright!" Zhao Fuji nodded.

"The next item, Hengfeng's abdication is imminent, and the throne is in vain. Do you have a favorite candidate in your mind?"

After Zhao Changdu finished speaking, he glanced at the four of them.

Zhao Sheng sat up slightly, but didn't speak.Zhao Fuji simply fell asleep.

After Han Wei and Zhou Li looked at each other secretly, he suddenly expressed his attitude directly: "The eldest prince is fast-minded, shrewd and capable, tolerant and magnanimous, and he is born and grown up. He should be qualified for the position of Holy Emperor."

As soon as he spoke, Zhou Li nodded immediately: "Of course, I also agree with Brother Han's point of view. No matter in terms of ancient etiquette or family rules, the First Prince is the best candidate."

Zhao Changdu was noncommittal about this, and suddenly turned his head to look at Zhao Sheng, and said, "Old Sixteen, what do you mean?"

Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed, and he asked back: "Did the ancestors pass down one or two decrees?"

"No! How could the ancestors care about such trivial matters." Zhao Changdu shook his head and said.

"Then I'll listen to the third patriarch. In fact, the three sons of Xinzhai, Xinfu, and Xinshi are all good enough to succeed Dabao. In addition, Zhengzhuo and Hengchang are also good candidates."

Zhao Changdu felt quite helpless when he heard the words, the old sixteen was so cunning, what he said was the same as if he didn't say it.

"Fuji, what about you?"

Because of being asked, Zhao Fuji opened his eyes, and said slowly: "In my heart, this son has a kind heart and can be an emperor."

"Well, let's not mention this matter for now, the old man has already figured it out, well, the next item..."

The efficiency of the Zhao Clan's Senior Clan Elders' Association is extremely high, and every major event that involves the interests of countless people is often explained by a few people in a few words.

As the core figure of the Nantian Zhao Clan, there are very few major events that can make a group of Yuanying Patriarchs hesitate.

But it's not impossible, for example, the candidate for the throne just now, and for example...do you want to send a large army to completely wipe out the Diyan Palace?

"Third Patriarch, have the two Yuanying old demons from the Earth Flame Palace all appeared?"

In response to Zhao Sheng's question, Zhao Chang nodded without hesitation, and said: "Half a month ago, the secret spy sent back reliable news. The Lord of the Earth Flame Palace is about to cross the catastrophe, and the two need to protect him."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng said without hesitation: "Evil sects such as the Earth Flame Palace and the Ten Thousand Corpse Sect have secretly colluded with the Nether God Realm. It has already become a major cancer in this world and must be eradicated as soon as possible. I am willing to help."

"In that case, the Ziyang Sect also has to contribute. I will inform the other elders of the Sect." Han Wei also said.

"If you destroy the Diyan Palace, how can you lose the Dizangzong! The ancestor is the sky of the Dizangzong. Just one sentence is enough to make the Dizangzong come out."

"That's true. I'll let the old man talk about the Ksitigarbha Sect." Zhao Changbu is not only the third patriarch of the Zhao family, but also one of the supreme elders of the Ksitigarbha Sect.

With Zhao Xuanjing Buddha in front of him, it was a breeze for members of the Zhao clan to worship the Ksitigarbha sect.

"Then do you need to inform the Immortal Artifact Sect? After all, the old lair of the Earth Flame Palace is within the Immortal Artifact Sect's sphere of influence." Zhou Li asked at this time.

Zhao Changdu groaned, nodded and said: "In order to avoid leaking the news, wait until I leave, and then inform the Immortal Artifact Sect!"

"In addition, there are not many good candidates to destroy the Earth Flame Palace this time. You don't need to refine Qi, you only send the Foundation Establishment and the Golden Elixir, and you must hit the target with one blow, and no one will escape."

Zhao Sheng, Han Wei and the others nodded slightly in agreement when they heard the words.

The Earth Flame Palace has survived for nearly ten thousand years, and there are many forbidden gates. Not only are there two Nascent Souls in charge, but there are more than a dozen Golden Elixirs and nearly a hundred Foundation Establishment monks below. The power can be described as extraordinary.

Because to wipe out such first-class forces, even if there are three top forces joining forces, they must be extremely cautious, and it will take at least half a year of careful planning.

After the meeting of the elders of the Taishang Clan, everyone took action separately.

Seven days later, a hundred-foot cloud boat soared into the sky from Binghuo Peak, and after circling half a circle, it galloped towards Dongyeling, a hundred thousand miles away to the southwest.

……

Dongye Mausoleum is located at the junction of the Great Zhao and Great Yan dynasties. It is a barren hill with an area of ​​nearly a thousand miles. There are few people and the aura is thin.

However, since the appearance of a medium-sized spirit stone mine half a year ago, this unknown and remote place has become a hotspot in the southwestern region of Central Continent for a while, and it has also become a place where two behemoths, the Zhao Clan of Nantian and the Sky Splitting Sword Dao, collide and confront each other. land.

On this day, a hundred-foot cloud boat suddenly broke through the clouds and landed on a hill full of loess and weeds.

At this time, it can be seen that half of the soil layer of this hill has been hollowed out, and a large hole more than ten feet high has been opened in the exposed soil and rock section of the pothole.

There were two teams of people standing on both sides of the cave. At this time, the atmosphere was tense and dignified. The people and horses of the two sides were all waiting in battle, faintly confronting each other, refusing to give in to each other.

Among them, the immortal cultivator in blue and yellow clothes immediately showed joy when he saw the dragon head totem on the Baizhang cloud boat.

On the other hand, most of the sword cultivators with their swords and blades were nervous, and unconsciously closed their formations.

A layer of white light flashed across the surface of the cloud boat, and suddenly a door opened, and then a red light came out through the door, and flew down to the sky above the crowd, revealing Zhao Sheng's figure.

After him, seven or eight figures flew out of the cloud boat one after another, landed on the ground, and merged with their side.

Zhao Sheng glanced down, did not speak, but looked up to the northeast, waiting quietly.

At this time, among the crowd below, Mrs. Zhao belongs to, three people are particularly outstanding, and the crowd is also vaguely surrounded by the three people as the center.

The three were an old man with a white face and thin lips, a giant man with a sturdy body and arms that could walk a horse, and a young man with delicate features.

These three are candidates from the Zhao family to participate in the competition, representing the three realms of Jindan, Foundation Establishment, and Qi Refining respectively.The old man is a Jindan real person, the giant man is a foundation-building Dzogchen monk, and the young son is a Qi-refining Dzogchen realm.

Everyone quietly looked at the family ancestors in the sky, and couldn't help whispering in secret.

"Hey, do you know who the leader of the Taishang clan is?"

"It looks unfamiliar, but it should be right. It must be the ancestor of Qiongtian who was promoted recently."

"Hey, I heard that Patriarch Qiongtian came back from there. Do you think it's strange or not?"

"Third brother, be careful with your words, be careful that misfortune comes out of your mouth! The patriarch of the family, how can you speak rashly."

"Brothers, who of you know..."

Zhao Sheng "listened" to the discussions of the people below, but he ignored these noises that were forgotten after hearing it, and just waited quietly, his mind sank into the dark.

After a while, a sword rainbow suddenly appeared at the end of the sky, and then a dragon chant and sword whistle suddenly sounded in the sky.

Two breaths later, the sword rainbow slashed down fiercely like a gigantic sword holding up to the sky, but when it reached above the heads of the crowd, the sword light suddenly dissipated, revealing a group of white-clothed swordsmen, each with sharp eyes and a fighting spirit.

But the leader was a thin old man in a black robe with a belt. The back of this man's head was tied with a long black braid, which not only hung down to his waist, but was also wrapped around his waist twice. It is tied with a small sword with the length of a thumb, which is shining silver, and traces of thunder light dance from the sword.

When Zhao Sheng saw this person, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, showing a bit of surprise.

This is actually an "old acquaintance"!
