The huge Xinglong City, there are two kinds of buildings that are the most significant, one is the total length of more than 100 miles, the black Gangyan city wall of 20 zhang high and 16 zhang wide, towering like a mountain, thick and heavy like a ridge.

The other is the Bagua Guangming Building located in the center of Xinglong City.

This building covers an area of 100 acres, the building is divided into nine floors and eight sides, towering into the clouds, and can be seen at a glance anywhere in Xinglong City.

The main building of the building is made of purple diamond, and the outer wall of the building is covered with bright glazed tiles, which are brilliant during the day, like a magnificent platform made of gold.

When it is night, the bright glazed tiles that have accumulated sunlight for a whole day during the day will bloom with thousands of lights, which not only makes the Bagua Guangming Building like a huge pillar of light standing up to the sky, but also illuminates the small half of Xinglong City in one fell swoop.

Just after the hour, a gloomy old man of the Zhuji clan walked out from the platform on the eighth floor of the Bagua Guangming Building, and then controlled all kinds of spiritual weapons, and quickly flew in all directions.

Some of them soon fell into the courtyards of the deep houses in the city, and some flew far into the dim night and disappeared without a trace.

A thin black-robed man with a gluttonous mask on his face walked outside the platform and was about to jump off, but he was suddenly stopped by someone from behind.

"Gluttony, you wait! The old man has something to discuss with you. ”

Zhao Sheng looked back at the person who spoke, and it was indeed the patriarch Zhao Dexuan.

Zhao Sheng turned his head to the subordinates beside him, and the three leaders of the dark tribe made a gesture, and said in a hoarse voice: "You guys go first." The plan remains the same, business as usual! ”

The three leaders of the dark tribe nodded silently, and then they all disappeared and dispersed.

Over the past thousand years, the Zhao clan's dark department has developed to this day, and the number and scale have already expanded dozens or hundreds of times, and it has long been not limited to the Zhao clan itself, but also more casual cultivators who have been recruited and subdued, sectarian traitors, and there is no shortage of murderous demons, and even evil demons.

The four leaders of the dark department are all foundation building realm cultivators, and each of them controls a group of dozens of dark sons.

According to Zhao Sheng's knowledge, in addition to the fact that Jairus was born in the Zhao family, Baxia was originally an inner disciple of the Heaven Splitting Sword Dao, and was expelled from the door wall for violating the rules and precepts of the door, and was later subdued by Zhao Dingguang and joined the Zhao family's dark department

But he is a foundation-building demon cultivator, born in the Corpse Yin Sect, and the smell of corpses can be smelled from afar. He volunteered to join the Shadows because his only daughter had married into the Zhao clan twenty years earlier.

Ten years ago, after Zhao Sheng was promoted to Zhuji, under Zhao Xuanjing's arrangement, he became one of the four leaders of the dark department, and his status was faintly higher than that of the other three.

Because since Zhao Sheng joined, Zhao Laozu directly issued orders to other members of the dark department through him.

When only the two of them were left in the building, Zhao Sheng took off his gluttonous mask and said with a suspicious face: "Patriarch, you have something to order, why do you want to make this scene?"

"I have something I need to ask for your opinion?"

Zhao Dexuan has a wide heart and a fat body, a ruddy complexion, a round face and smiling eyebrows, the corners of his mouth are naturally raised, and he has a three-point smile before speaking, like the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha.

This old patriarch who has been in charge of the Zhao clan for nearly a jiazi is now more than 220 years old, although he has built the foundation of the Great Perfection, but Jin Dan is hopeless, and he will not live for decades.

Zhao Dexuan has two major heart problems in his heart, one is to select a qualified next generation patriarch for the family.

It's hard, very hard.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Xinglong Zhao clan is now developing like the sky, and in just a thousand years, the overall strength of the clan is comparable to that of the second-rate immortal cultivation sect.

The family's sphere of influence encompasses the surrounding 5,000 miles of mountains and rivers, and the total number of vassal and marriage families is close to fifty, and there are nearly 100 foundation building monks associated with it, and countless qi refiners. Hundreds of millions of mortals live in the territories under direct and indirect control.

Among these hundreds of millions of mortals, dozens or hundreds of mortal immortal cultivators can be born from them every year.

These immortal cultivators have nothing, except for those who were preempted by other families, the Zhao family can accept more than ten or twenty good seedlings every year, so that they can change their surnames and be included in the Zhao family tree.

In terms of the current scale of the Xinglong Zhao clan, every handover of the patriarch is no less than the succession to the throne of the dynasty, and one carelessness is a bloody storm, and even affects the luck of the Zhao family in the next hundred years.

Therefore, the selection of the new patriarch cannot tolerate Zhao Dexuan's imprudentness, and he must win the unanimous consent of most of the Zhao clan elders before he dies.

Some people may say that the new patriarch has something. (This chapter is not finished!) )

Chapter 237 designates family affairs

It's rare, and it can be designated directly by Jindan Ancestor.

Other immortal cultivation families are just that, the Xinglong Zhao family is a little special, one is limited by the family ancestral training, and the other is that the three family ancestors are in a bad situation now.

Zhao Dingguang's ancestor can still hold out for one or two decades, but Zhao Tongxian's ancestor is already sitting down.

Tonight's Tongxin Hall meeting is for this matter.

The sitting of the Jindan Ancestor is a major event that affects the rise and fall of the family, and everything must be arranged in advance to minimize the impact of this matter.

As for Zhao Xuanjing Ancestor, he was also in trouble, because the mountain dragon who coexisted with him was facing a once-in-a-century dragon tribulation, he had to return to the mountain gate of the Jizo Sect and be busy for the tribulation.

If you can succeed in the tribulation, you will have a hundred years of freedom.

But if the tribulation fails, the consequence will be unbearable for the entire Zhao clan: the mountain dragon and the old ancestor will be wiped out together.

Compared with this matter, Zhao Tongxian Ancestor's sitting down should also take a back seat.

The Jindan Ancestor is about to disappear from the third, but the Zhao family's new generation of Jindan Ancestor has not been born for a long time.

This matter has become the biggest haze in Zhao Dexuan's heart, if this trouble does not go, he will not be able to die peacefully.

He searched through the information of all the immortal cultivators in his family, and finally found seven or eight "seeds" that were promising to be promoted to Jindan.

But Zhao Dexuan knew that the difficulty of Jindan was even more than a hundred times that of building a foundation.

Among these "seed" candidates, there is a 10% chance of success in promoting Jin Dan, which is enough for him to burn high incense.

Among these people, Zhao Dexuan is most optimistic about the young man in front of him.

In the entire Zhao family, including him, there are only no more than ten people who know that Zhao Qingyang has been promoted to build the foundation, and those who know that the other party has been promoted ten years ago, except for the three ancestors, only he Zhao Dexuan.

At this moment, the reason why he stopped this Zhao Tianjiao was because of an important matter, and he needed to consult the other party's opinion.

Zhao Sheng looked at the old patriarch with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?" Patriarch, please. ”

Zhao Dexuan pondered for a moment, and said with a serious expression: "I'm going to announce your foundation building?" What do you mean? ”

Zhao Sheng thought for a moment and asked, "Is this what Old Ancestor meant?" Thirty or twenty? ”

His words have many meanings.

Originally, he joined the family's secret department and concealed his true identity and strength, which was also carefully arranged by Zhao Xuanjing.

The purpose is understood, and there is no need to say more.

The second half of Zhao Sheng's sentence is much more interesting.

For a foundation-building monk, the difference between building a foundation at the age of 20 and building a foundation at the age of 30 is like a cloud of earth.

Under the age of twenty, he can be called "Xiaodaozi", and the future Jindan is in sight.

And thirty years old can only be regarded as a masterpiece, although the number is very small, but it is not rare in the Heavenly Pillar Realm.

"Ancestor means to let you make your own decisions."

"If you take the initiative to announce it to the public, which age will you choose, patriarch?"

Zhao Dexuan paused when he heard this, and said in a resolute tone: "Twenty years old!"

"Good!" Zhao Sheng nodded and said neatly.

Zhao Dexuan was very surprised, he didn't expect the other party to answer so happily.

You must know that the name of "Xiaodaozi" is not so easy to get. Initial Update@

The ancients said: The wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind, the cliff is higher than the shore, and the flow will be turbulent!

Once the Zhao family releases the wind and declares that the family has a "little Taoist", it will definitely attract the attention of many forces.

For the sake of fame and future, those young people who took the initiative to challenge themselves will not talk about it for the time being.

The sectarian family that is the enemy of the Zhao clan will definitely not watch the enemy give birth to a Jindan real person, and they will definitely secretly kill the killer.

Zhao Dexuan could even predict that in the next few decades, Zhao Qingyang would encounter countless open swords and hidden arrows.

But the open knife is easy to dodge, but the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent!

"Qingyang, the old man is also bitter.."

"The patriarch doesn't need to explain, I know that the good momentum of the family's current development must not be interrupted. Otherwise, the forces will regress, and it will be difficult to move forward, and at worst, it will attract the siege of jackals, tigers and leopards. ”

What Zhao Sheng said is true, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Zhao family is in the rising stage of strength.

However, the successive sittings of the family ancestors will undoubtedly seriously dampen the morale of the clan and shake the people of their own clan and vassal forces. (This chapter is not finished!) )

Chapter 237 designates family affairs

The consequences of this are incalculable.

Although there is Zhao Xuanjing Ancestor, the Xinglong Zhao clan can't fall off the altar, but one person and three, the difference between the steady improvement and the extremely declining power is so great that even a fool can see it.

At the critical moment of the rise and fall of the Xinglong Zhao clan, the Zhao clan needed a "hope", a hope to boost the confidence of the whole clan.

In Zhao Dexuan's view, Zhao Sheng is the best "hopeful" candidate for the Zhao family.

Of course, if Zhao Xuanjing can be promoted to Yuanying, then everything will be fine, and naturally there is no need for Zhao Sheng to "show up".

But for the sake of safety, when Zhao Laozu is sure to be promoted to Yuanying, it will be at least one or two hundred years later.

The key to surviving the Yuanying Thunder Tribulation lies in the mountain dragon.

The second is that the Zhao family will give birth to a new Jindan real person as soon as possible.

But in Zhao Sheng's opinion, there is little hope for this matter, it is very mysterious.

I think the patriarch Zhao Dexuan also thinks so, otherwise he would not have made such a suggestion.

Seeing that the patriarch was relieved, Zhao Sheng teased: "I don't know what kind of drama the patriarch arranged for me?"

Zhao Dexuan smiled, "I promise to satisfy you!" But I have to ask, what is your strength now? How many layers have you built? ”

"Does the patriarch want to listen to the truth or lie?"

"What about lies? What about the truth? ”

"The lie is that I have just been promoted to the fourth floor of the foundation, and I can fight with the fifth or sixth layer of the foundation, and the victory or defeat will be five or five!"

Zhao Dexuan was startled when he heard this.

It's only been ten years, and Qingyang has actually built four layers of foundation, and the realm has been improved like riding a rocket, and it is simply soaring.

"What about the truth?" He hurriedly asked. Initial Update@

"The truth is that the foundation is built on five layers, and even if the foundation is besieged together in the middle of four or five foundations, I can't help it. It's not a problem to build seven or eight layers of foundations. Shoot with all your might, even if you are the patriarch, you have to be careful so as not to capsize the boat. ”

"Really... It's true? Zhao Dexuan's heart thumped, and he unconsciously raised three tones when he spoke.

"Why don't we try our hands now?" Zhao Sheng rolled up his sleeves and eagerly proposed.

"No, the old man knows that you never believe in what you say, and I believe what you say." Zhao Dexuan's expression was excited, and his signature smile hung on his face, smiling as if Maitreya Buddha was alive.

"In that case, forget it." Zhao Sheng let go of his sleeves, "By the way, you haven't said what a grand appearance you arranged for me?" ”

A mysterious smile appeared on Zhao Dexuan's face, and his tone was kind and kind, and he said, "Originally, I planned for you to challenge the little Taoist of the Danding faction, Liu Xinwu, the young master of the Liu family in Denver. But the old man has a different mind now. ”

"Patriarch, don't sell it, what do you think?" Zhao Sheng urged.

Zhao Dexuan's smile deepened, deliberately lowered his voice, and said, "I plan to designate it for you... A family business! ”

"What?"

Zhao Sheng was surprised......

……

Two months later, in the secret room of the ancestral tomb on the third basement floor of the Bagua Guangming Building, Zhao Xuanjing, Zhao Dingguang, Zhao Dexuan... Zhao Sheng and the others of the core clan of the Zhao clan stood in front of an eternal cold ice coffin.

Everyone looked at Zhao Tongxian Ancestor lying in the ice coffin, instantly frozen by the eternal cold ice, and entered a state of suspended animation.

The ancient cold ice coffin can continue the vitality of Zhao Tongxian for thousands of years,

In the next thousand years, if the Zhao clan encounters a crisis of extinction, Zhao Tongxian will reawaken and fight the last battle for the survival of the family.

This kind of frozen fake death secret technique is very common in large immortal cultivation forces, and it can be regarded as one of the most practical foundations.

The reason why the ranks of the Heavenly Pillar Realm are becoming more and more solidified, and the strong are always strong, has a lot to do with this technique of fake death and prolonging life.

A moment later, the eternal cold ice coffin was slowly sealed into the secret room, and as soon as the door of the secret room was closed, a layer of earthy yellow enchantment suddenly rose around it, and the enchantment formation base was connected to the Bagua Building Formation Hub.

If it is not allowed, anyone who touches the barrier will definitely be detected by the Zhao family.

A moment later, the core clansmen of the Zhao clan, who were burdened with heavy responsibilities, left from the Bagua Guangming Building one after another.

At this time, in a lobby on the third floor of the building, Zhao Xuanjing sat at the top, Zhao Dingguang sat in the second seat, and there were also Zhao Dexuan, Zhao Sheng and Zhao Yancang.

Although Zhao Dingguang's ancestor is approaching, he is still in good spirits. (This chapter is not finished!) )

Chapter 237 designates family affairs

Shuo, a pair of long-lived eyebrows floated in his ears, and his body exuded a strong fire.

Three hundred years ago, Zhao Dingguang successfully formed a fifth-order Fire Dragon Inner Dan, and he was the most proficient in refining weapons in his life, and he was already a third-order refiner.

The most proud thing in his life is that he has produced no less than ten magic weapons, including a thunder ring, the grade is as high as four grades, and it is now hanging on the neck of the mountain dragon.

Zhao Dingguang was inevitably depressed because he had just witnessed the death of his elders, so he leaned on the jade chair at this time and closed his eyes to recuperate.

"Ancestor Qi, the marriage family set this time is the Weaver Girl Dong family. I got information that the Dong family intends to release four alternate weaver girls, and all four of them have to be selected recently. That's why I want Qingyang to come to the door to ask for a kiss. ”

"Qingyang, what do you mean?" Zhao Xuanjing turned his head to look at Zhao Sheng.

Before Zhao Sheng could speak, Zhao Yancang took the first step, and said with a happy face: "Old Ancestor, Qingyang he agreed!" The daughter of the Dong family, who doesn't want to marry? ”

"Well," Zhao Sheng couldn't help touching his nose when he saw his father vying to express his position, and hummed helplessly.

Zhao Yancang is right, the daughter of the Dong family is the dream of countless immortal cultivation families.

Let's put it this way, the in-laws of the Weaver Girl Dong family are all over the Tianzhu Realm, and ninety percent of the Yuanying-level forces are the in-laws of the Dong family. Error-free updates @

The reason why this is so is because the weaver girl of the Dong family is not only born prosperous, but also very easy to give birth to, and half of the children born have a probability of having spiritual roots.

You must know that the higher the realm of an immortal cultivator, the more difficult it will be for the heirs.

It is difficult for a Jindan real person to give birth to an heir, let alone the ancestors of the Yuanying Ancestors.

However, the daughters of the Weaver Girl Dong family broke this iron rule.

Another very important point is that the Dong family has successfully woven the most complex and high-end immortal cultivation circle in the Heavenly Pillar Realm with their in-laws as the connection.

If Xinglong Zhao can marry an alternate weaver girl, he will undoubtedly win a ticket to join the high-end circle.

This is extremely important to Zhao!
