Best Ascension

Chapter 466
After hesitating for a moment, a ray of divine light slowly "flowed" from between Zhao Sheng's brows, and landed on the Yuanshen Fruit.

In the dark, a scorching and broad aura invaded the divine sense from the primordial spirit fruit, and instantly gave Zhao Sheng a very fresh "hot" feeling.

Within a hundred feet of the surrounding area, hundreds of millions of Huoxing spiritual energy particles became active in an instant, turning into countless bright spots of light, cheering around the Yuanshen fruit, which made his mind feel inexplicable joy.

Sensing the vast spiritual power constantly surging in the Primordial Spirit Fruit, Zhao Sheng had the urge to swallow it several times.

After a while, he gritted his teeth, suddenly put the Yuanshen fruit back into the box, closed the lid, and at the same time quickly pasted the seal.

"Hey, it's not time to take it yet. Firstly, taking it at this time will waste most of the primordial power, and secondly, this fruit is condensed by other people's primordial spirit after all, and there may be hidden hidden dangers hidden in it. Wait, wait a while. Find a suitable person to eat one first, and then make a decision after observing the results." Zhao Sheng looked complicated, muttering to himself and putting the jade box back into the storage bag.

At the same time, he had another gray nine-story pagoda in his hand.

Zhao Sheng's eyes were full of divine light, and one after another divine thoughts penetrated into the interior of the Jiuming Pagoda. At this moment, the hair of the Great Sage is still suspended in the dark cloud of light.

But compared to a few years ago, the cloud of dark light in the tower has become a little "richer", but it is still very sparse!
Over the past few years, Zhao Sheng has thought of many ways to try to reveal the true face of the dark light cloud, but the result is very little.

He still hasn't figured out what kind of extraordinary energy the dark light cloud belongs to. He only knows that it can devour spiritual thoughts, but it doesn't react with the aura of heaven and earth. It usually shows a kind of "inert" phenomenon.

After putting away the Nine Ming Pagoda, Zhao Sheng fell into deep thought for a while: "... Shall I catch some ghosts and throw them into the Nine Ming Pagoda, and see if I can find something?"

Thinking of this, he suddenly slapped the ground, his body rose into the air, then turned into a golden light, and galloped away. In the blink of an eye, the Wuding Cave became empty.

……

Half a year later, the Nine Dark Tower experiment was over, and the results were very gratifying.

This pagoda likes to eat ghosts and ghosts, from the ten thousand year old ghost king to the ignorant living soul, it can be said that it will not refuse anyone, its appetite is like a bottomless pit.

After half a year of experimentation, many conclusions were drawn: the lower three floors of the Jiuming Pagoda correspond to ghosts below the Qi Refining Realm, and the fourth to sixth floors are for ghosts from Foundation Establishment to Jindan Second Realm. Starting from the seventh floor, they can only devour ghosts The ten thousand year ghost king comparable to the baby baby.

In addition, Zhao Sheng also discovered that after the black god light on each tower level has accumulated to a certain level, it will naturally sublimate to a higher level.

But for the time being, he has only seen this kind of sublimation phenomenon twice in the first three floors, and the amount accumulated in the upper floors may be too small to meet the standard of qualitative change and sublimation.

Normally, even a thousand-year-old ghost comparable to Foundation Establishment can only add a trace of dark divine light to the fourth floor of the Tower of the Underworld after being thrown into the Nine Underworld Tower.

As for the ten-thousand-year ghost king sent by the family with great effort, in terms of strength, it is not inferior to the Nascent Soul cultivator, but after being swallowed by the Nine Ming Tower, it only adds a ray of light to the seventh-story Ming Tower.

The appetite of the Jiuming Pagoda surprised the well-informed Zhao Sheng.

Combining the observations of the past few years, Zhao Sheng is very convinced that the Nine Dark Tower must have other energy replenishment channels, and the high probability comes from the mysterious Nine Serenity Void Realm.

After the test results came out, he almost gave up his plan to feed the Jiuming Pagoda by catching ghosts. After all, the ratio of gain to effort was too great.

But a piece of unexpected news a few days later brought a turn for the better.

After receiving a message from Yingui, Zhao Sheng left the customs in a hurry and rushed to the mountain city.

After a long while, Zhao Sheng, Zhao Jingheng and Patriarch Qingshan sat upright in the Jinxiu Building located in the center of the city, and seven or eight family golden pills sat below the three of them.

Seeing that everyone has arrived, Patriarch Qingshan didn't talk nonsense, and immediately said with a solemn expression: "Since the plot of the Ten Thousand Corpse and Ten Thousand Soul sects to destroy the space-time seal formation was foiled a year ago, the two sects' armies have Fleeing from the sky burial, the remnants of the two religions have been running around for a year, causing numerous murders in the places they passed.

Today, according to reliable news, the Heavenly Corpse Master of the Ten Thousand Corpse Sect and the Ghost-Fucking Lord of the Ten Thousand Soul Sect have led the remnants to sneak into the capital of God secretly, as if to harm our royal family.

These two are Nascent Soul Realm monks, and their strength is extraordinary.

The purpose of the old man's coming here today is to invite reinforcements to go to Shendu, on the one hand to protect the children of the royal family, and on the other hand to capture the celestial corpse and the two ghosts.

I don't know who is willing to take the initiative to volunteer to accompany the old man to the capital of God! "

After the ancestor Qingshan finished speaking, his eyes turned around among the crowd below, and finally stopped on Zhao Jingheng and Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Jingheng saw the anticipation in the eyes of the Seventh Patriarch, but he just sat there without saying a word, and took the initiative to close his eyes to rest his mind, as if he had never heard of it.

Seeing the city lord's attitude, the Zhao family's Jindan below immediately hesitated. Two or three people seemed to want to make a move, but they didn't dare to stand out, and only looked at Zhao Sheng.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Sheng secretly shook his head, lowering his expectations for Zhao Jingheng again.

This person is really a selfish person, I am afraid that the family's interests are only mediocre in his eyes, and it is absolutely not as important as protecting his own interests.

You must know that Zhao Jingheng is the previous generation of the Holy Emperor, and most of the children of the royal family are his descendants and relatives.

Just because of the reluctant city lord,
Just because both the previous generation and the current generation of the Holy Emperor came from Huaying's lineage, he was very at odds with Hua Xiong's lineage.

Zhao Jingheng can be indifferent to the point of turning a blind eye, it's hard hearted!
Perhaps he is confident, knowing that the family will never sit idly by.

Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed, and he said, "I haven't seen the scenery of Shendu for a long time, and I miss it very much. Let me go there."

As soon as the words were finished, Zhao Jingheng suddenly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in them.

At this moment, two people stood up immediately below.

"I would like to go!"

"I would also like to go back to the capital of God, just to visit my relatives and juniors!"

Patriarch Qingshan's eyes flashed with astonishment, but soon he showed a satisfied smile, cupped his hands at Zhao Sheng, and said: "Then please trouble Qiongtian, you have been staying with the old man for a few years. It's not too late , how about we leave immediately?"

"Alright!" Zhao Sheng thought for a moment, then nodded immediately.

At this moment, Zhao Jingheng suddenly apologized, and explained to Zhao Sheng: "It's not that I don't want to return to Shendu, but the Nine Sects Conference will be held soon, because it will involve the ownership of the mountain city for the next hundred years. As the city owner, I have a great responsibility. You must not leave your post at this critical moment. So."

Zhao Sheng interrupted him suddenly, and said flatly, "Needless to say! It's all for the sake of the family's future, I can understand."

I have to say that Zhao Jingheng found a good excuse!

The so-called Nine Sects Conference was only aimed at the ownership of the mountain city.

You must know that the mountain city was built on the only fifth-order spiritual vein in the Tianzhu world.

Because Zhao Xuanjing was in charge before, the Eight Great Sects of Zhongzhou dared not speak out about the construction of the city, and they just turned a blind eye.

But in the last ten years, with the birth of a new Huashen Zhenjun from the Taishang Sensing Sect, this matter has undergone new changes.

After all, Tianzhu Mountain is a land without an owner, and the fifth-order spiritual vein is also a common thing in this world.

In the past, you Nantian Zhao Sect relied on the only True God Transformation Monarch in Central Continent to try to seize the spiritual veins. It is simply unreasonable!
Now that the new Zhenjun was born, the eight major sects immediately had a backbone, so the eight major sects headed by the Taishang Sensing Sect recently took the initiative to come to the door and called for the holding of the Nine Sects Conference to decide the ownership of the mountain city in the next hundred years.

Deciding to belong is false, but coming to divide the benefits is true!

However, the mountain city was built by Zhenjun Zhao himself after all, so no matter what the outcome of the conference, Nantian Zhao's share will be indispensable in the end.

It's just that whether the position of city lord still belongs to Zhao Jingheng is another matter!
Anyway, in order to keep this seat, Zhao Jingheng didn't even care about the safety of his descendants.

After a cup of tea, a Baizhang cloud boat suddenly flew out of Dongtian City located at the foot of Tianzhu Mountain.

As soon as Yunzhou came out of the cave wall, it immediately soared into the sky, like a bolt of lightning, it rushed into the depths of the sea of ​​clouds in an instant, and flew towards the northeast.

……

Three days later,
A hundred-foot-long cloud boat emerged from the sky, flew over hundreds of miles in just a dozen breaths, and came to the sky above a vast and boundless plain.

After the cloud boat circled half a circle, it swooped straight down.

At this time, a huge city beyond imagination towered impressively on the ground below.

The city stretches for hundreds of miles, with walls as thick as mountains, pavilions, courtyards and alleys innumerable, dense as forests but orderly, and tens of thousands of straight streets, which naturally divide the whole city into more than 1000 large and small square cities. Except for the core imperial city.

This is the capital of God!A super giant city with triple walls and a population of over 3000 million.

The majestic city walls, which are taller than the first, divided the capital into four distinct worlds: the imperial city, the inner city, the outer city, and the city walls.

There are countless towering, majestic and magnificent spiritual palaces and halls scattered all over the inner and outer cities of Shendu.

Even the outermost city walls of Shendu are hundreds of feet high, and the overall circumference exceeds a thousand miles. There are as many as 99 city gates opened.

Outside each city gate is a straight official road with a width of one hundred and eighty feet. The official road is full of people and traffic. From a distance, it looks like colorful worms entering the capital from the city gate.

In the 500 years since Zhao's feudal dynasty was established, the capital of the gods is already full of flowers and prosperity.

If Zhao Sheng were to describe the scenery of Shendu, the four words "Fengheng Yuda" could not be more appropriate.

The arrival of Patriarch Qingshan and Zhao Sheng made Zhao Zhenhai, the Ninth Patriarch guarding the capital of God, very happy.

Zhao Zhenhai is a member of the Yongzimai clan of Zhao's eight veins. This year he has passed a thousand years of life, and he is in the middle stage of Yuanying.

Zhao Sheng is very familiar with the exercise that this person majors in, and it is the "Tianyi Zhenshui Method" handed down from the fifth generation.

However, Zhao Zhenhai has already practiced this skill to an unprecedented level, and even successfully deduced and perfected the idea mentioned by Zhao Sheng at the end of the exercise, and truly created a Nascent Soul-level water-moving magical exercise. The name of the exercise is "Sumi Nahai Sutra

Zhao Sheng once heard the third patriarch Zhao Changdu mention that the Ninth Patriarch Zhao Zhenhai's Yuanying law domain "Xumeru Water Realm" has both offensive and defensive capabilities and infinite power!
And Zhao Zhenhai is the most proficient in defensive techniques. Usually, one person can resist the siege of three Nascent Souls of the same level. Even an ordinary late stage monk can't break through his water defense for a while.

Therefore, he was the first to be sent to Shendu to protect the safety of the royal children!
Zhao Zhenhai personally led Patriarch Qingshan and Zhao Sheng into the imperial city, and led them to fly through many palaces, and arrived at the Palace of Longevity adjacent to Huangji Palace.

The Huangji Palace is one of the most important core buildings in the imperial city, and it is the place where the contemporary holy emperor usually sleeps.

Not long after the three Yuanying Patriarchs took their seats in the Hall of Eternal Life, they were greeting each other, when they heard the sound of orderly footsteps outside the hall, and the clanging of armor quickly approaching from far away.

At this time, Zhao Zhenhai suddenly smiled brightly, and it happened that Zhao Sheng and Patriarch Qingshan also changed their expressions slightly.

"Haha, I have been on the throne for more than ten years, and Du Tian still can't change his impatience. He must have heard that you are here, so he hastily put aside his government affairs and came to visit the ancestor of the family."

Patriarch Qingshan heard the words and said: "Lao Jiu, you admire him a lot! Could it be that you are also optimistic that this son can be a good Holy Emperor?"

After hearing this, Zhao Sheng looked thoughtful.

The common name of the contemporary holy emperor of the Zhao family's imperial city is Zhao Dutian. It is rumored that he has a gracious personality, but he is not lacking in imperial skills. It has only been less than 20 years since he ascended the throne, and he has successively settled the three major factions in the court and firmly held the power in his hands. .

Several Yuanying patriarchs in the Zhao clan were very optimistic about this son, and they all hoped that he could eliminate the accumulated evils, increase income and reduce expenditure, enrich the treasury, and reverse the corrupt trend of the dynasty's financial deficit year after year.

It's just that this is easy to say, but it's as hard as heaven to do, I'm afraid it's much harder than going through the thunder calamity and successfully promoted to Nascent Soul!

In just a short moment, Zhao Sheng had already recalled all the information about Shendu.

At this moment, the door of the Hall of Eternal Life was slowly pushed open, and a shrill and thin voice shouted outside the door: "Holy ~ Emperor ~ here!"

As soon as the words fell, an emperor wearing a gold-plated robe of nine dragons, wearing dragon boots, and a twelve-pronged crown walked into the palace walking like a tiger, followed by four people wearing cloud robes of eight dragons. young prince.

Zhao Dutian looked up at the three ancestors who were aloof, their faces were serious, and after tidying up their clothes, they took three steps in a row, and they had already crossed tens of feet and came to the bottom of the jade steps.

"The emperor's grandson, Zhao Dutian, pays homage to the Seventh, Ninth, and Sixteenth Patriarchs! The old ancestors will enjoy immortal blessings forever, and live forever."

Following Zhao Dutian's Jishou salute, the four princes who followed him fell to their knees one after another, and all kowtowed and shouted: "The ancestors will enjoy immortal blessings forever, and live forever!"

Patriarch Qingshan laughed and waved: "Dutian, come up here."

Hearing this, Zhao Dutian straightened his body and stepped up the steps.

At this time, Qingshan Patriarch pointed to the four princes below, turned to look at Zhao Sheng, and asked with a smile: "The four boys below have kowtowed to us, this is a gift to meet you! Old Sixteen, everyone at home knows You have the richest net worth. What kind of treasures do you think should be rewarded. Let me tell you first, ordinary treasures will not be able to catch the eyes of these boys. "

As soon as he spoke, the Holy Emperor Zhao Dutian had already walked in front of the three of them. He couldn't help but move slightly when he heard these words, and then turned his eyes to Zhao Sheng.

"Seventh Patriarch, you're trying to point me out! It seems like it won't work without a bout of blood!"

Zhao Sheng shook his head with a smile, and let out his divine thoughts to sweep over the four sons below. He saw that all four of them were handsome and mighty, with outstanding demeanor, and their cultivation bases were all above Foundation Establishment.

He thought for a while, and soon had an idea.
