Ascension Through Generations

Chapter 253 A Cold Wave Descends, and a Strange Change Occurs! (Additional Chapter for the Readers’ Remembrance and Mutual Gaze)

After two lifetimes, Zhao Sheng once again stepped into Dongtian City. What he saw was that Dongtian City was still full of pavilions, towers and fortresses, with clear streets and orderly roads. People were coming and going in the streets, bustling and bustling, and extremely prosperous and lively.

On the walls around the cave, there were caves densely packed with immortal cultivators with different clothes and expressions flying in and out of the caves, which seemed extremely busy.

Nine hundred years have passed, and Dongtian City is still the city of casual cultivators, just like before!

Zhao Sheng's heart flashed with emotion.

He walked leisurely on the streets of the market, sometimes entering the shops on the roadside when he was interested, and sometimes bending down to pick a few small things from the stalls of casual cultivators.

After getting familiar with the environment and atmosphere of Dongtian City again, Zhao Sheng set off for the inner city.

Half a minute later, in the living room in the backyard of a medicine shop in Dandingfang, Zhao Sheng sat at the head of the table, and a middle-aged man with an ordinary face stood respectfully on his left.

"Master, this is all the information we have collected recently, please take a look."

The middle-aged man's name is Zhao Yangong, he is in the middle stage of Qi Refining, a member of the Anbu, and also a member of the Shen Clan, so he does not call him the elder, but calls Zhao Sheng the Master.

Zhao Sheng took the jade slip, probed into it with his spiritual consciousness, and read the information in a blink of an eye.

"Well, Dongtian City has been in a mess recently! A casual cultivator was assassinated by his apprentice, and he succeeded. This is simply laughable."

"Master, the rumor is that the reason why Master Shiqin ended up like this is that he was seriously injured during the exploration of the abandoned mansion half a year ago, and after returning, he tried to take the life of his apprentice to heal his wounds. That's why he was ambushed by his three apprentices and eventually died."

"Where are the three apprentices?"

"The three have disappeared."

"Haha, I think the disappearance is a lie, and the truth is that he was silenced. ”

“Master, do you mean that the Ten Birds Master was not killed by his apprentice, but someone else was the murderer?”

“Well, whether it was for treasure or revenge. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with the purpose of my coming.

But I want to remind you that you must not meddle in some things, and it is best not to touch some things! It will kill people, do you understand?”

“Yes, Master! Yan Gong knows his mistake, I will cut off ties with outsiders immediately.” Zhao Yangong was sweating profusely when he heard this, and he was so scared that he bowed and begged for mercy.

Zhao Sheng only hit the other party once, and had no intention of asking for punishment.

After a day of rest, Zhao Sheng took two storage bags with necessary supplies and left Dongtian City alone.

As a foundation-building cultivator, he did not have to climb up and down like in his previous life. Just by controlling the Fang Tian Huaji, he easily flew over a layer of Tiangang atmosphere.

It took a quarter of an hour for Zhao Sheng to fly directly to the cliff face of the mountain valley eighteen miles high.

Along the uneven cliff face with gray and green, he flew horizontally for nearly 400 miles.

The foggy world on the dark side of Tianzhu Mountain soon appeared in front of him.

After searching for a while, Zhao Sheng soon saw the landmark: the large bluestone more than three feet high.

After nearly a thousand years of continuous exploration by the Zhao clan members of successive generations, every blade of grass and every tree along the 300-mile journey from the large bluestone to the Zhao clan secret house were clearly marked.

Not only that, the Zhao clan also set up many secret fortresses along the way, which were usually used for the clan members to rest, protect safety and avoid sudden dangers.

Three days later, on a seemingly ordinary foggy cliff, Zhao Sheng stood on a protruding stone, took out a knife-shaped pass token from his sleeve, and gently shook it at the fog in front of him.

In a blink of an eye, the thick fog in front of him suddenly split into a winding three-foot path. Zhao Sheng dodged, flew over the path, and entered the secret house.

When he disappeared, the mist spread again, and the path was quickly hidden in the layers of formations.

Zhao Sheng passed the third-level illusion formation and the defensive formation, and as soon as he stepped onto the ground, waves of rich and sweet fragrance, accompanied by waves of lively water and wood spirits, instantly rushed to his nose.

Zhao Sheng took a deep breath, and his eyes were fixed directly on the ancient peach tree that was so thick that two people could hug it, with twisted and old branches, and the shade of the tree was as huge as a mountain, so big that it occupied most of the world.

This ancient tree grew beyond imagination under the careful care of the Zhao family.

The peach leaves were crystal clear like jasper, and large clouds of spirit clouds surrounded the branches and trees. Large patches of water vapor were jumping and reflecting rainbow light.

Under the shade of peach tree branches, longevity peaches as big as human heads, with red tops and white skins, smooth as jade, and a faint spiritual glow on the surface, hang high and low between the treetops, exuding an extremely tempting fragrance.

The ancient peach tree blooms once every thirty years, bears fruits once every thirty years, and bears thirty-six peaches.

Because there is still half a year before this round of maturity, Zhao Sheng came to the secret house in advance to guard the peach tree.

When the peaches are truly ripe, Zhao Xuanjing, the ancestor of the Zhao family's golden elixir, will come here in person.

"Qingyang, your family really sent you here."

As he spoke, a thin old man with an extremely old face, ochre clothes and white hair suddenly flashed out of a cave not far away, and landed in front of Zhao Sheng, smiling with a very surprised expression.

Zhao Sheng took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "Fifth Master, there are no more than ten people in the family who know this place. After all the calculations, I am the most suitable."

Fifth Master's real name is Zhao Daochuan, and he is at the eighth level of foundation building. In his early years, he ate a longevity peach, so he is the only living member of the Zhao family with the character Dao.

Zhao Daochuan was not born in Xinglongyuan, but a member of the family on the other side of Taiwu Mountain, the ancestral land.

This person has been obsessed with formations all his life, and is especially good at civil construction. Therefore, he is highly valued and favored by Zhao Xuanjing.

As we all know, formations are broad, profound, and difficult to understand. Its difficulty of study is undoubtedly the first among all the arts of cultivating immortals. Not only is it difficult to get started, but it is even more difficult to improve.

A third-level array mage is often rarer than a real person with false elixirs.

Zhao Daochuan is a quasi-third-level array mage. His highest achievement in his life is the quasi-third-level composite array outside that builds the outer defense of the Zhao family's secret palace: the Wutu Lingguang Array.

"Haha, just come here. I'll leave it to you to take care of the outside. I'll go back down first. I have a Wutu Housheng Formation in my hand that I haven't studied thoroughly yet. It's a critical moment now, so it's best not to disturb me. "

At this time, Zhao Daochuan actually left Zhao Sheng alone, turned around and quickly slipped into the cave.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but shook his head. He had no idea what to do about the fifth master, who was so crazy.

Since then, Zhao Sheng has set up camp in the Secret Mansion.

Time is like water. Autumn passes and winter comes, and Tianzhu Mountain becomes colder day by day.

One day, Zhao Sheng was sitting cross-legged under the peach tree. His brows were furrowed, his veins were bulging, and he looked slightly painful. However, circles of silvery white, light black, golden, and light blue were faintly transmitted inside and outside his body. Light green five-color aura.

Among them, the light blue aura is the most dazzling. It spreads all over the body, forming a dense and criss-crossing network of the human body. If you look closely, you will see that this network of spiritual light is exactly the same as the blood vessels of the human body.

Half an hour later, first the silvery white spiritual light dispersed, then the light black spiritual light, and then the golden and light blue spiritual light disappeared.

Finally, it was the light green aura's turn to slowly dissipate. Zhao Sheng's muscles and bones crackled, and the mercury marrow blood in his body surged like a roaring wave. After his body expanded and contracted nine times in a row, it returned to normal.

"Huh, very good. After the mercury crystal marrow was refined into my blood, my physical body has become much stronger than before. It should be comparable to high-grade spiritual weapons. Unfortunately, the immortal golden body is still a little short of completion. Although the treasure is good, It's just too little." Zhao Sheng sighed greedily and slowly opened his eyes.

After completing the exercise, Zhao Sheng was overjoyed. He stretched out and stood up from the ground. After stretching his muscles a few times, he was about to enter the cave to see how far the Fifth Master had gone in his research.

Um?

At this moment, his face suddenly changed slightly, and he suddenly raised his head to look at the sky. Through the many magic circles, he seemed to have seen the changes in the sky.

Boom!

Boom!

A series of rumbling and muffled sounds suddenly came from the depths of the clouds and mist above our heads, like the muffled thunder that kept exploding during a thunderstorm. The sound of thunder came from far to near, pressing.

"Tianzhu cold wave!" Zhao Sheng suddenly realized and looked slightly surprised.

At this time, there were waves of fine crackling sounds of ice forming on the mountain wall.

As the temperature dropped sharply, countless white ice shards suddenly appeared in the fog and fell.

The unique cold air of Tianzhu Mountain condenses in the blink of an eye, and the air pillars circle and roar, constantly stirring the surrounding dense fog.

In just a few minutes, the end of Zhao Sheng's eyes was occupied by endless white.

A white line emerged from the sea of ​​clouds in the upper layer, extending from top to bottom, from left to right.

The white cold wave is boundless and mighty, crushing everything with its overwhelming force.

Countless cold currents between the sky and the earth turned into bone-piercing "ice spears", with thorns crisscrossing thousands of feet, whistling and sweeping along with the surrounding cold air.

The cold wave natural disaster cannot be stopped by human beings!

As the cold wave swept away the world of clouds and mist, Zhao Sheng had already seen tens of thousands of monsters, beasts and birds fleeing from above, jumping down, or hiding in stone crevices and caves.

"Damn, I almost forgot!"

At this time, Zhao Daochuan cursed and ran out of the cave. As he ran, he continued to perform magic formulas, shooting out streaks of khaki spiritual power into the air.

Buzz!

I saw a sudden ripple in the air, and the defensive array on the periphery of the secret palace was activated to its full power in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the more peripheral phantom formations were also opened with full force, and the range of the magic formation expanded to a radius of three hundred feet.

As soon as any monster, beast or bird breaks into the range of the phantom array, it will be induced by the power of the array to deviate from the direction of escape and unconsciously avoid the location of the secret palace.

"Okay, Qingyang, don't worry! I haven't seen a monster break through the defense line in many years. Just go and practice.

The peaches will be ripe in a month. When the ancestor comes, we will have nothing to worry about. "

Zhao Daochuan patted Zhao Sheng on the shoulder, then turned around and rushed into the cave.

He has been watching the Tianzhu Cold Wave for more than sixty years, but has long lost any interest in it.

Five days later,

Bang, bang!

A piece of earth and stone wrapped in several irregular large stones suddenly fell from the sky, passed through the illusory formation, hit the barrier of the defensive formation, was led to the outside by the power of the formation, and then continued to fall downwards.

Zhao Sheng stood on the edge of the slope. Suddenly he narrowed his eyes and saw a half-body body with only the waist down mixed in the earth and rocks.

boom!

The next second, the other half of the body also fell from the sky, hit the barrier, and slid down diagonally.

Zhao Sheng's consciousness exploded, he stretched out his hand and made a move, causing the body to stop abruptly.

He opened a small gap in the magic circle and photographed the corpse at his feet.

The dead man was an old man in his fifties. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes and made of unusual materials.

Zhao Sheng squatted down, reached out and touched the body, and couldn't help but said to himself in surprise: "Judging from the age of the bones and the traces of spiritual power, this person is another foundation-building monk. What happened up there?"

Fighting and fighting are common on Tianzhu Mountain, but during the cold wave, few immortal cultivators dare to brave the extremely cold weather to go up the mountain.

Especially in the past half day, the bodies of two foundation-building monks fell down in succession. The place of death happened to be at an unknown height above the secret house.

Isn't this a bit strange?

Bang!

At this time, a large piece of earth and stone mixed with a lot of ice and snow roared down from the sky.

Zhao Sheng looked up at the sky, but his sight was blocked by the ice and snow, and he couldn't see what was happening above.

"An accidental fight or a coincidence?" Zhao Sheng looked at the sky thoughtfully and muttered to himself.

The next day, many batches of earth and stone and ice and snow fell around the secret house, and there were also many corpses of monsters and immortals.

Even at night, Zhao Sheng saw three foundation-building monks each carrying three bright fireballs, quickly passing by the cliff face twenty miles away, and flying higher in an instant.

"Something happened!" Seeing this, Zhao Sheng finally realized that some kind of accident must have happened on the mountain.

"I have to go and see."

A flash of inspiration came to Zhao Sheng, and he immediately turned into a wisp of light smoke and passed into the cave.

After passing through a long passage and a large-scale building complex, Zhao Sheng arrived at the Mountain Dragon Cave.

After thousands of years of growth, the entire cave has been occupied by countless roots of the peach tree. The huge mountain dragon remains have been consumed by more than half, and the body is only three stories high.

Zhao Sheng didn't care about these.

He quickly passed through a passage in the northwest corner of the cave, drove straight for more than a hundred feet, and finally arrived at a giant stone hall.

He quickly found Zhao Daochuan and explained his intention to go out for an investigation.

"Qingyang, the peaches are about to ripen. It's not good for you to go out now!" Zhao Daochuan said tactfully.

"With you here, and the third-level magic formation outside, ordinary Jindan Zhenren can't attack in a short time. And over the years, has anyone discovered the secret house?"

"It has been discovered several times before, but the people were beaten and killed. As for Jindan Zhenren, there is no one." Zhao Daochuan whispered.

"Yes! If that's the case, what are you worried about? Grandpa, I have a feeling that maybe the opportunity has come. If I don't go, I will be very unwilling." The more Zhao Sheng said, the more his heart palpitated, as if something was really waiting for him.

"If that's the case, you can go. But be careful. If you encounter danger, retreat quickly. The ancestor will come at any time. Let the ancestor take action when the time comes."

"Well, then I'll go first!"

Zhao Sheng nodded at him, then turned and left.

A moment later, a yellow-faced, skinny man appeared out of thin air in a concave earth pit.

This man was Zhao Sheng after he changed his body shape.

He took out a three-inch flying sword, shook his hand and threw it out, and the small sword grew wildly to three feet long, and then turned into a sword rainbow that wrapped Zhao Sheng's body and rushed into the sky quickly.

An hour later, Zhao Sheng flew over two layers of cloud seas in succession and reached an altitude of more than 40 miles.

At this altitude, the air is extremely thin, the environment is extremely cold, and the breath turns into ice.

As far as the eye can see, the cliffs are all covered with a thick layer of ice, and the sky is full of strange and extremely sharp frost.

Countless frosts raged back and forth with the howling storm, and the lethality is no less than countless first-level spells bursting out at the same time. Ordinary people in the late stage of Qi Refining can't even last two breaths, and they can't survive here unless they reach the foundation building stage.

However, in this harsh environment, Zhao Sheng looked at the sky from afar and saw a large piece of white fog in the sky.

In order to ensure full attendance first, it will be released after midnight.

However, it will still be updated on the 31st
