Chapter 465: The Immortal City of the World
Zhou Li returned the salute and said with a gentle smile: "It's good to be back!" The third ancestor and I, Jing Heng have prepared the fairy food and wine in advance in the mountain city, and specially prepared the wind and dust for you. We'll get drunk later! ”
"Brother Zhou, it's not easy to get me drunk! Unless the wine is a drunken drink that has been hidden for thousands of years. Zhao Sheng quipped when he heard this.
"Haha, in a word! It is the drunken fairy drink, and you and I each have an altar, which is enough to have a good time. You need to know that the ancient sages are all lonely, and only the drinker leaves his name! ”
After listening to Zhou Li, he suddenly clasped his palms together and smiled, showing a rare wild and uninhibited side in front of people.
At this moment, Zhao Jingheng, who was left out in the cold, suddenly stepped forward, bowed his hand slightly to Zhao Sheng, and said, "Jingheng, I've seen the second master." ”
"Well, yes, yes, the old man is very pleased, with Jing Heng here, I am considered to have a successor" Zhao Sheng nodded, and said with a smile of relief.
Back then, after Zhao Sheng recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, he was classified by Zhao Xuanjing into the Shen character lineage, and Zhao Jingheng, as a generation of holy emperors, was naturally the core descendant of the Shen character lineage.
The title of the second master comes from this.
As for the master of the lineage, it is the fourth ancestor Zhao Changsheng who has explored the void and has not returned.
Hearing the praise, Zhao Jingheng's expression remained unchanged at all, he only bowed his hand again, and then quietly retreated behind Zhao Changdu, standing solemnly and quietly.
Zhao Sheng smiled, as if he didn't feel the other party's estrangement at all.
Zhao Changdu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly smiled heartily: "Let's go!" Don't delay in the Secret Palace. Let's go to the mountain city first, where the feast has already been set up, and I won't be drunk today! ”
When Zhao Sheng heard this, he deliberately showed a greedy look on his face, and immediately urged: "Then what are you waiting for?" Three Ancestors, Brother Zhou, go away! My cravings are hooked. ”
"Haha!"
Between laughing, Zhao Sheng and the four of them turned into streamers, flew into the stone gate on the cliff face, and disappeared in an instant.
Zhao Sheng followed Zhao Changdu and flew down the wide underground passage.
Compared with a hundred years ago, this originally opened passage has been widened for many rounds, and it has already been nearly 20 zhang wide, and the palace stone buildings on both sides of the passage are lined up one after another, all of which are shrouded in a faint spiritual light enchantment.
Zhao Sheng noticed that there were many people from the Zhao clan coming in and out of the palace buildings along the way, and they looked extremely busy.
However, a hundred years ago, the buildings beneath the Secret Mansion were not inhabited by so many people.
As the passage continued to extend into the interior of the mountain, Zhao Sheng saw a larger complex of buildings, as well as tens of thousands of Zhao clansmen.
Zhao Sheng held back his curiosity and silently followed Zhao Changdu all the way to fly.
After more than a dozen breaths, the four of them flew through the underground passage that was more than three hundred miles long, and the end was in front of them.
The front was bright and prosperous, and as soon as he passed through the enchantment light curtain at the entrance of the passage, Zhao Sheng's vision suddenly opened up!
A huge mountain cave was directly exposed in front of his eyes.
At this moment, Zhao Sheng was difficult to describe in words, and the shock in his heart was shocked. I don't know how to describe this magnificent cave in the mountain in front of me.
Cave Heaven Spirit Realm? Or an exotic fairy city?
Every building in the city is so unique and pleasing to the eye.
One after another, there are huge pillars in the sky and the earth, and they stand among the cities, which are the most conspicuous and occupy the core position.
The giant pillars have also been carved into palace towers, and the whole body exudes a soft clear light, providing light for the city.
These pillars are faintly similar to the Bagua Guangming Building in style, but each pillar tower is unique in terms of details and decoration.
Surrounding the pillar tower, each street below the city has also been carefully designed, and the corridor waist and the green trees and grass complement each other, a little more too vulgar, a little less indecent.
At this moment, humanity and nature have reached an amazing harmony, which can only be described as one step at a time, and it is beautiful.
At a glance, this giant city in the mountains seems to condense the scenery, humanities and architectural styles of all continents in the world into one square and one street, as if it is showing off the magic of the people who opened up this city!
If it was just these, Zhao Sheng would only admire Zhao Xuanjing's superb skills, but he would not be shocked from the heart.
What shocked him the most was what kind of means Zhao Xuanjing used to make this city beautiful and at the same time perfectly build a large array that had never been seen before.
That's right! The whole city is a big array. Every building and every street in the city, even those flowers and trees, all became necessary elements to build this large array under Zhao Xuanjing's ingenious design.
Zhao Sheng, who was already close to the Formation Dao Grandmaster, had amazing eyesight, and he quickly saw through this high-level compound array hidden behind countless beauties.
This array not only has both offensive and defensive elements of the five elements, but also has the attributes of life, death, illusion, and sleepiness, and its grade is high and the formation is complex, only under a few super arrays such as the Heaven and Earth Law Network, the Cross-border Teleportation Array, and the Ascension Array.
In addition, Zhao Sheng also saw the styles of the three major formation schools.
He even boldly guessed that in the process of creating this city, it was absolutely inseparable from the great help of Li Tiantian, Liu Yishou, and Huang Yu.
Perhaps, this unknown array was arranged by the three great grandmasters and Zhao Xuanjing.
When the four of them flew into the city, Zhao Chang noticed Zhao Sheng's shocked look, and immediately looked very proud, with a somewhat ostentatious tone, and said with a smile: "How is this city?" I must have been stunned too! ”
Zhao Sheng sincerely admired: "Magical workmanship, unique in the world!" ”
"Haha, I'll tell you the truth, the old man was also shocked when he saw it for the first time after it was built. The skills of our ancestors are so high that they have really reached an unprecedented realm. I wait for the juniors to be amazed, far worse! ”
When it comes to the ancestors, not only Zhao Changdu, but also Zhou Li and Zhao Jingheng also show a look of reverence for the mountains and the scenery.
But the difference was that Zhao Sheng noticed that in addition to reverence, Zhao Jingheng's eyes uncontrollably revealed the fire of raging ambition.
"This person is ambitious, and his heart and wrist are all the best choices, but unfortunately his qualifications are not good. Jing Heng's heart is higher than the sky, and his ambition is too big, which is not a good thing for the Zhao family! Zhao Sheng thought to himself, faintly worried in his heart.
Just when he was worried that Zhao Jingheng might make a big mess in the future, the four of them had already flown to the pillar tower in the center of the city, and at this moment, there were bursts of fairy music from the building.
At this moment, many gorgeously dressed people flew out of the building one after another, shouting in unison to welcome the ancestor Yunyun.
Zhao Changdu bowed slightly, then motioned for everyone to disperse, and then flew into the Sanssouci Pavilion on the top floor with Zhao Sheng and the others.
On that day, the wine was fragrant, happy and happy!
Zhao Sheng was also drunk and had to rest on the spot for a day.
After waking up the next day, Zhao Jingheng took the initiative to look for it, and personally accompanied the second master of the vein to visit this immortal city in the mountains.
It wasn't until he saw the awe of the people in the city that Zhao Jingheng found out that Zhao Jingheng was actually the city lord of the mountain city, no wonder he would come forward to accompany him.
However, whether Zhao Jingheng's move hides other intentions.
Although Zhao Sheng couldn't be completely sure, he probably guessed a little bit of his thoughts.
No matter how powerful the Nantian Zhao clan is, no matter how harmonious and united the clansmen are, there are only conflicts of interest that should be indispensable.
Although he hadn't been back for a long time, just by looking at the scale of Yamanaka Castle and the richness of the aura in the cave, he could determine how important Yamanaka Castle was to the family!
You must know that this city is clearly built on the core spirit of the only fifth-order spirit vein in the Heavenly Pillar Realm.
It can be seen from this that the aura environment of the mountain city is so superior!
Zhao Jingheng has the lowest rank among the ancestors of the family, but he assumes the position of the city lord.
It not only shows the subtlety of his tricks, but also shows how much Zhao Xuanjing attaches importance to him.
However, as soon as Zhao Sheng returned, the situation immediately changed completely.
He not only has a high level of seniority and strong strength, but also sacrifices his life and death for the family cause, and has made great contributions.
Just for the sake of reward, as long as he wants to or speaks, Zhao Jingheng's position as the city lord will not be allowed!
Zhao Jingheng definitely didn't want to give up the position of city lord, because this position involved the interests of Tianda.
Since ancient times, there have been no parents in front of interests, let alone a second master with an unclear background!
After all, the stakes in this are terrifying, and to a certain extent, it even determines whether he can cultivate to the realm of transforming gods in the future.
As everyone knows, Zhao Jingheng is clearly thinking too much.
The position of the city lord is heavy, and although the oil and water are very rich, how can Zhao Sheng look down on it.
If he told his true net worth, he would probably shock everyone in the family, even Zhao Xuanjing.
For example, the Yuan Shen Fruit, the Sumeru Ring, the Three Yang Fire Flag, the Nine Underworld Towers, the Sky Basket and so on.
These are priceless treasures when taken out casually, how can they be measured by spirit stones.
Zhao Sheng saw the dark thoughts of the other party, but he didn't break it, he just didn't know it.
Seven or eight days later, Zhao Changdu and Zhou Li left one after another.
Seeing this, Zhao Sheng took the opportunity to put forward a request for retreat and cultivation, and at the same time politely rejected Zhao Jingheng's kind suggestion to stay in this city for retreat, saying that Flame Island was the most suitable place for cultivation.
Zhao Jingheng didn't do much to keep it, but he personally accompanied Zhao Sheng to Earth Flame Island, and saw the second master enter the Wuding Star Cave retreat with his own eyes before returning to the Mountain City with a blank face.
……
has not returned for a hundred years, and the star cave has largely returned to its original appearance.
The amorphous star core was shrouded in a pillar of red light and fire, like a star, slowly rotating in the void.
However, at this time, there were seven or eight jade towers standing on the surface of the magma lake below
Each jade pagoda was shrouded in a layer of crimson enchantment, and it seemed that there were people in retreat and cultivation in the pagoda.
Zhao Sheng's gaze swept over the jade pagoda below, and then his figure flashed and landed on the amorphous star core.
He sat down cross-legged, holding a top-grade spirit stone in each hand, closed his eyes, and sensed the invisible rhythm emitted by the star core, and his mind quickly entered the realm of emptiness and immobility.
Boom!
Waves of aura tides surged from all directions, frantically converging towards the amorphous star core.
The incomparably rich aura of heaven and earth accumulated more and more, gradually condensing into a layer of spiritual cloud thick mist, and under the cover of the divine light of destroying the gods and destroying souls, it glowed with a faint fiery red brilliance, like a cloud of fire burning clouds.
Zhao Sheng's cultivation made a great deal of momentum, and it quickly alarmed the Jindan real people who were retreating in the tower.
Everyone stopped cultivating one after another, and hurriedly flew out of the tower, looking at the burning clouds above the star core, and their expressions were all shocked and inexplicable.
Just when everyone was stunned, a huge storm of divine thoughts suddenly swept over everyone, and a voice that seemed familiar and unfamiliar sounded in everyone's ears at the same time.
Someone quickly recognized Zhao Sheng's identity from the voice.
So in the blink of an eye, everyone knew the news that the Sixteen Ancestors had returned.
Seeing that the Sixteen Ancestors were cultivating in the Star Cave, these Zhao Clan's Golden Pills were very discerning, and they all withdrew from the Star Cave without hesitation, automatically giving up this cultivation treasure land.
Zhao Sheng didn't mean to be like this, but he didn't want his juniors to be so sensible.
For the kindness of the juniors, he understands it in his heart, and secretly notes it, and there will be a reward in the future.
Ten days later,
Zhao Sheng's eyebrows bloomed with a faint divine light, and the soul was deep in the Yuan Infant Law Body Treasure Complex, surrounded by a dazzling light that was rich like water.
At this moment, many identical "primordial infant" illusions appeared behind the Dharma body, all of which were surrounded by the brilliance of the divine thought, but the brightness was slightly weaker than that of the main body.
These baby elephants are all projected by distraction consciousness, and there are no less than hundreds at a cursory glance.
A trace of divine thought light descended from the soul sea, along the meridians of the chest, abdomen, limbs, and hundreds of bones, and penetrated into the depths of the dantian qi sea, and countless torrents of mana flowed endlessly in the meridians with the traction of the divine light, forming an extremely complex but extremely precise cycle of exercises.
Every moment, a massive amount of heaven and earth spiritual qi roared into Zhao Sheng's body, and with the torrent of mana, it fell into the dantian qi sea, forming a dripping spiritual rain.
The mana in the dantian was like an ocean surging up, drinking countless drops of spiritual rain and automatically transforming them into more refined mana.
Time passed slowly, and Zhao Sheng's cultivation faintly improved slightly.
Half a day later, Zhao Sheng only felt that the torrent of spiritual energy pouring in from his hands suddenly stopped.
So, he slowly stopped the operation of the exercises, opened his eyes and looked at his hands, and sure enough, he saw two whirlpools dissipating, and the spiritual energy had been absorbed into the empty shell of the spirit stone.
Zhao Sheng sighed slightly, casually put the two blank spirit stones into the storage bag, and then flipped them over with one hand, and there was already an apricot yellow ring in the palm of his hand.
After settling his mind, Zhao Sheng's eyebrows suddenly shot out a divine light and fell on the Sumeru ring.
In an instant, the endless space-time fault reflected in the depths of his mind, and his divine thoughts differentiated into nearly a hundred invisible tentacles, which probed into the space-time fault one by one.
This search has been repeated countless times over the decades, so it has become almost instinctive.
While Zhao Sheng persistently searched for the whereabouts of the Sumeru space, he also regarded it as a way to exercise his spiritual power.
After decades of tempering, the strength of his divine thoughts has increased significantly, and his tenacity is far beyond the imagination of the world.
It lasted for nearly half an hour, and at this time, nearly fifty percent of the divine thoughts had been consumed.
At this time, Zhao Sheng habitually stopped, and took the Sumeru ring into his arms with his backhand.
Then, after pouring out another pill of three return to the divine pill, he raised his head and took it, and began to quietly close his eyes and meditate.
Two hours later, Zhao Sheng opened his eyes violently, his eyes were like lightning piercing the void, and his divine thoughts had completely recovered at this time.
After thinking about it, he waved his hand, and a dazzling fire shield suddenly rose around him, blocking the sight of the outside.
Then, Zhao Sheng took out a jade box from the storage bag, and the surface of the jade box was covered with sealing talismans.
Carefully peel off the seal and open the lid of the box, only to see a crystal red fruit inside, only the size of an egg, but there is a silk thread flowing on the surface, and there seems to be an unimaginably vast spiritual power inside.
Zhao Sheng looked at the Yuan Shen Fruit in the box with deep eyes, and couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Eat?
Or not to eat?
