Best Ascension

Tianzhu Mountain is majestic and vast, with straight and steep cliffs, extending infinitely to both sides. From a distance, it looks like a vertically erected world, with ancient trees and grasses overgrown, and green, gray and yellow vines spreading and hooking, wantonly falling into the void.

Looking at the vibrant "heaven and earth" in front of him, Zhao Sheng unconsciously slowed down his ascension speed.

Gradually, under the cover of ancient trees, green grass and vines, some ruined walls and even desolate and abandoned stone palaces appeared in front of Zhao Sheng.

Occasionally, there are a few relatively well-preserved palaces and pavilions, still shrouded in a faint light, and it is obvious that the prohibition is still operating normally.

Zhao Sheng even saw that there were still many rare elixir growing in the spiritual soil near a certain palace, among which there were many treasures of heaven and earth that had survived for more than ten thousand years.

Even Zhao Sheng was very moved when he saw this scene, but the thick layer of bones piled up outside the palace undoubtedly dispelled everyone's greed.

From the sixth layer of cloud sea upwards, the height between the two layers of cloud seas will become larger and larger. In the sixth and seventh layer of cloud seas alone, the height difference is nearly thirty miles.

After more than ten breaths, Zhao Sheng has flown to the sea of ​​seven layers of clouds. The colorful clouds above are as thick as mountains, exuding colorful and colorful lights. Although the strong wind in this place can easily tear the fine iron, it can't blow the sea of ​​clouds at all.

Zhao Sheng knew that the seven layers of cloud sea had the blessings of the ancient prohibition, not to mention the mere wind, even he had to be extremely careful, if he didn't know where the passage was, he would never dare to rush into it.

Because once the ancient prohibition is triggered, Nascent Soul will die very ugly.

However, he has a road map in his hand, so he is not afraid of straying into death.

Moo!
At this time, a long bull roar suddenly came from the distant sky.

Zhao Sheng stopped and looked around, and saw a gigantic six-winged dragon flying towards the sea of ​​clouds.

At this time, an old man with a short beard in a wind and fire gilt robe stood impressively on the huge head of the seraph, looking directly at it with a kind expression.

Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed, he didn't want to cause trouble, the flames rose from his body, and immediately flew to the sea of ​​clouds above.

However, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop!

He didn't want to pay attention to the visitor, but the visitor came to look for something.

"Friends ahead, please stay!"

The first sound was still far away, but at the end of the sentence, the old man with short beard had already appeared behind Zhao Sheng, only a hundred feet away, before he suddenly stopped.

Zhao Sheng raised his eyebrows, stopped his figure immediately, turned around and stared back, and said indifferently: "You are so ignorant, Mr. Zhao doesn't want to be troublesome, why do you force him to stay? Do you want to give it a try? The next edge."

After hearing this, the old man with a short beard showed a hint of apology on his face, and waved his hand quickly, signaling: "Fellow Daoist Zhao, please don't misunderstand. Mu has absolutely no malice. It's just that fellow Daoist looks at the face, and I just want to get to know you."

Zhao Sheng's expression was cold, and he said directly: "Nantian Zhao, Zhao Qiongtian! Now that I know, can I go?"

The short-bearded old man's face froze for a moment, and then he laughed loudly, as if he was very happy.

"It turned out to be an old friend of 'Nantian Yizhu'! My husband, Mu Daoyuan, is a loitering crane of the Royal Beast Sect. Your two families have had a deep friendship since ancient times, and many nobles have members of their clan worshiped in our sect.

Fellow Daoist Zhao knows that the sixth direct disciple of the old man is also from your clan, and his name is Zhao Hengan. "

Zhao Sheng's thoughts flickered, a smile appeared on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "My eyes are clumsy. I don't know if it was Huanlong who made Senior Mu face to face, please forgive me!"

"It's not strange, it's the old man who came here to take the liberty." The old man with short beard smiled and waved his hand.

"Senior Mu, why did you call me?" Zhao Sheng asked in a calm tone at this moment.

"I'm going to have a good thing, tell it to Zhao Daoyou. I just don't know if Zhao Daoyou would like to delay a little time."

"Oh, I would like to hear about it."

While the two were talking, the seraph had already flown to the foot of Mu Daoyuan, and the huge palace-like head of the oxhorn obediently leaned against it.

Mu Daoyuan stretched out his hand to hold a thick red and black bull horn, his palm glowed red, and he couldn't stop talking, when he saw the seraph suddenly opened his mouth and let out a bull's roar, and spit out a piece of ancient wood.

The ancient tree is about two feet long, thick as a thigh, green all over, the bark has disappeared, most of the wood has been made of jade, the texture is warm and moist like jade, exuding a faint fragrance, as peaceful and distant as sandalwood.

"Wannian Tianxiangmu!" Zhao Sheng recognized the origin of this ancient tree at a glance, and his heart was moved instantly.

But in the next second, he regained his composure and pointed, "Senior Mu, what do you mean?"

Tianxiangmu has the effect of calming the mind and calming the restless mind. Ten thousand years of Tianxiangmu has the miraculous effect of exorcising demons.

Especially the Mu Xin of Wannian Tianxiangmu is a great treasure for crossing evil and expelling evil spirits.The ancestors of the Nascent Soul flock to it, but almost no one can get it.

Mu Daoyuan released such a treasure as soon as he made a move, which inevitably made people doubt his intentions.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, don't be surprised. Mu is just showing sincerity. The old man recently found a small piece of Tianxiang wood forest in a nearby ruins. Among them, there are as many as three trees that have grown over ten thousand years. It's a pity that there are still restrictions left in this ruins. The old man only After only cutting down a Ten Thousand Years Fragrant Tree, he had no choice but to retreat.

That restraint is really tricky, so the old man wanted to find a helper, and he happened to be the first to meet you, Daoist Zhao. Isn't this a coincidence.

I don't know if Fellow Daoist Zhao is willing to help the old man, and the old man promises that after the matter is completed, he will share a ten-thousand-year-old fragrant tree with you. "

After speaking, the old man with short beard looked at Zhao Sheng expectantly.

But to his disappointment, Zhao Sheng refused without hesitation: "Sorry, the ancestor has urgently called for something, and I can't go to the ruins with Senior Mu."

The old man with short beard suddenly shrank his pupils when he heard the words, and then his expression became more kind, and he said with a smile: "Oh, this time I am taking the liberty. Since it is the Dazhen Monarch who has summoned me, of course the old man will not make fun of himself.

Fellow Daoist Zhao, you go on your own. When you see Dazhenjun, I hope that you will take care of the old man. I wish Dazhenjun a long life and a long life! "

"Senior Mu's kind words, I will bring them to you. Zhao bid farewell!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Sheng cupped his hands at the other party, then quickly rose into the sea of ​​clouds and disappeared into the depths of the colorful clouds.

Looking at the disappearing figure, Mu Daoyuan's complexion suddenly became extremely gloomy, and his eyes flickered, as if there were countless calculations.

"Hmph, you're lucky!" Mu Daoyuan snorted coldly, then patted the bull's horns, signaling the imperial beast to swallow the Tianxiangmu.

The seraph spewed out a stream of blood restlessly, rolled the ancient wood back into its mouth in the blink of an eye, and then carried its master to the distance, looking for the next unlucky one.

puff!
A moment later, a flame suddenly broke through the colorful clouds, and came to an airspace where the air was extremely thin, extremely cold and desolate.

The fire light turned into an invisible flame cover, revealing Zhao Sheng's figure.

He stared in all directions, only to see the vast and majestic sky, Tianzhu Mountain towering endlessly, with no end in sight.

However, the eighth and ninth cloud seas disappeared inexplicably, as if they had never existed.

But Zhao Sheng knew that the last two seas of clouds did not disappear from the beginning to the end, they just changed to a different form of existence.

On the seventh sea of ​​clouds, it is a new world.

This airspace is more than a hundred miles from the ground, and the environment is extremely cruel and harsh. The cold can freeze and shatter magic weapons, and the wind has also turned into invisible extreme currents. The destructive power is appalling, and it can easily wear down middle and lower spiritual weapons
Immortal cultivators below Jindan could not survive for a quarter of an hour here.

What surprised Zhao Sheng was that compared to the extremely harsh environment, the ecology of Tianzhu Mountain was more prosperous and more three-dimensional.

Some of the ancient trees growing on the cliffs have huge crowns of thousands of feet, which seems to be like a forest. The gray-green vines that grow entangled, hang down densely into the void, like thick strange pythons, full of wildness and antiquity. breath.

On the cliffs of this section, there are gradually fewer broken walls and ruins, but more and more well-preserved artificial buildings.

Of course, compared to the following, the number of relic caves built on this section of the mountain is undoubtedly greatly reduced. On the contrary, the ancient prohibition is more dense, both in scale and integrity, far exceeding the following.

Since the seventh generation, it was the first time for Zhao Sheng to fly to such a high place, and for the first time to see such a rare spectacle, so the ascent speed dropped sharply again.

With the protection of the ancient prohibition, this section of Tianzhu Mountain has been seldom visited since ancient times, so all kinds of rare thousand-year-old elixir can be seen everywhere between the cliffs and cliffs.

In some places, medicine gardens have been artificially opened up. Although no one has taken care of them for 2 years, the medicine gardens have been in a mess, but the exotic flowers and plants exuding all kinds of precious light, as well as many The rare elixir still made him very jealous.

Zhao Sheng felt very strange. It stands to reason that the Tianzhu world and the Taiyi spirit world have not completely severed the connection. In the past 2 years, there are many Huashen Zhenjun who have successfully ascended.

However, why no one in the Tianzhu world can break the ancient prohibition covering Tianzhu Mountain?

For 2 years, Zhao Sheng believed that there must be countless Nascent Souls and even Huashen Zhenjun who tried every means to break the ancient prohibition, but it seems that their progress is extremely slow and almost ineffective.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhao Sheng would not have believed that the ancient forbidden group on the upper part of Tianzhu Mountain was so well preserved.

He absolutely does not believe that all the True Monarchs of the past 2 years are a bunch of waste.

Since no one can break the ancient prohibition, there must be another reason.

Thinking of this, his figure flickered, and he retreated tens of miles in an instant, for fear of being affected by the ancient prohibition.

……

Two days later, Zhao Sheng crossed the eighth and ninth layers of clouds in a row, flying over two hundred miles, and finally saw the top of Tianzhu Mountain in the distance.

The eighth layer of sea of ​​clouds is called the sea of ​​clouds, but it is actually a layer of "turbulent" aurora belt. This place is complex and changeable, and the environment is extremely harsh. It is also the highest altitude that Jindan Daoist can reach.

Further up is the boundary membrane belt that is very close to the vacuum environment outside the territory. If it cannot become a legal domain on its own, just by resisting the extremely harsh environment, a Jindan real person can consume the true energy in his body in just one or two hours.

The ninth sea of ​​clouds, also known as the boundary membrane, is the first line of defense against many dangerous attacks in the outer space. The overall thickness is more than two hundred miles, and the interior is filled with various extreme forces similar to the magnetic and divine light. It can be called the forbidden area of ​​death. .

Even the immortal cultivators in the Nascent Soul Realm will stumble here if they are not careful. Although they will not die, injuries are inevitable.

After crossing the boundary membrane and coming to the real void outside the territory, Zhao Sheng had hung the Hundred Flames Cauldron above his head, and the Baoding Cauldron sprinkled a large piece of real fire like a waterfall, turning into a thick real fire cover, completely enveloping him.

Without the obstruction of the atmosphere, Zhao Sheng's light speed increased dramatically.

In just a few breaths, he quickly crossed the hundred miles of void, and the Ascension Platform came into view impressively.

His arrival immediately alarmed a certain boss.

I saw a narrow white light path suddenly extending from the ascension platform, twisting and turning all the way to Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Sheng smiled slightly, jumped into the light path, and disappeared in an instant.

Within a hundred breaths, the end of the light path suddenly appeared, and Zhao Sheng's eyes suddenly brightened.

boom!
He stepped onto the empty and deserted rooftop square again.

Around the square, 81 hundred-foot crystal pillars stand tall, but there are cracks all over them.

To Zhao Sheng's surprise, not only Zhao Xuanjing was alone in the square, but there were also three old men.

Among the three, there was one who was very familiar with him, and it was Huang Yu, the master of formation.

The other two have thinning hair, a wide body and a fat body. A pair of dark tortoiseshell mirrors hangs from the bridge of their noses, and they hold a bronze formation disk in their hands. They also look like a formation mage.

The last one was shaped like a jackal with dove eyes and thin lips like a knife. He was skinny and did not look like a good person.

However, this old man with a natural "bad guy" appearance is one of the three great masters of the Tianzhu world, Liu Tianyi, who is known as the "open mind".

Liu Tianyi's facial features were too prominent, Zhao Sheng recognized his identity at a glance.

With Huang Yu and Liu Tianyi on the side, another identity is ready to be revealed, which is Li Ziran, the most famous formation master in the Tianzhu world.

This person has the reputation of Tianzhu's "Formation No. 1", and is also the Yuanying elder of the Supreme Sensation Sect.

When Zhao Xuanjing saw Zhao Sheng coming, he immediately waved and said, "Qiongtian, come here soon, you have seen the three seniors."

Zhao Sheng flew forward in response, and bowed to several people: "Junior Zhao Qiongtian, I have seen the old ancestor and the three seniors."

Huang Yu immediately smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for 30 years, Zhao Xiaoyou is even more handsome than before, and he seems to have improved a lot, really gratifying."

"Senior, thank you!" Zhao Sheng said with habitual humility.

Huang Yu didn't take it seriously, pointed to the other two at the same time, and said with a smile: "Come on, I'll introduce you to this old man with glasses. He is Grandmaster Li. That one doesn't look like a good person. It's the old man's nemesis, Liu Yishou who is known as wishful thinking."

"Hmph, the old man's name is Liu Tianyi, why did Liu say it first-hand? You little yellow-haired boy, you are slandering me carelessly!"

"Yes, the yellow hair is the worst. The old man suffers from eye disease and has to wear sun visors. Everyone knows that. How come you say that you are old and dishonest. In my opinion, you, Huang Yu, are the idiots and stupid people." The old man is ashamed to stand side by side with people like you." At this time, the tortoiseshell old man also suddenly retorted and fought back.

In front of Zhao Sheng, three formation masters with a combined age of more than [-] years were actually talking, and soon quarreled, starting from personal attacks to differences in formations, which really made people dumbfounded.

It wasn't until Zhao Xuanjing finished speaking that the three of them stopped arguing and returned to the happy scene before.
