Chapter Forty-Six: One Blow
Since entering the Age of Mountains and Seas, the Immortal Court has produced many geniuses, and in terms of the number of low-level monks, there is also a hidden momentum to restore the glory of the Ancient Heavenly Court.
It's a pity that the catastrophe has changed, and the chance of sanctification is slim.
In the history of more than 4,000 years, there have been so many half-step Saint Realm cultivators, but only three saints have appeared, and they all fell to the battlefield in the foreign land.
Moreover, due to the abnormality of the laws of heaven and earth, after entering the half-step holy realm, if you can't become holy, the half-saint body will slowly decline.
That is to say, if you don't cross the catastrophe, you can't escape a dead word in the end, and the later you go, the lower the success rate of the catastrophe.
In the year 1438 of the Shanhai calendar, someone found a book of exercises from a certain site, called the Turtle Sleep Formula.
Since then, the half-step Sacred Realm has a third option, when the longevity is about to end, cultivate the Turtle Sleep Technique, and maintain the physical body through the power of the formation.
However, after all, this is a move against the sky, and it is naturally intolerable to heaven and earth.
Using the turtle sleep recipe is actually tantamount to drinking a donkey to quench your thirst, and after being reawakened, the longevity will not exceed twenty-four hours.
Moreover, if you want to maintain your physical body, the price you pay is also very great, in addition to the need for a treasure land connected to the immortal veins like Digong Mountain, the number of immortal stones you have to pay every year is beyond the weight of ordinary forces.
This is also one of the reasons why the value of immortal stones is getting higher and higher in the fairy court.
But even so, most of the monks still chose the turtle sleep recipe at the last moment.
Because, this third way is the only way to retain a glimmer of hope, and at a critical moment, become the best choice of the family's hole cards.
Now, in the Imperial Palace Mountain, the number of half-saint masters who have fallen asleep has exceeded 100.
And in Gongming Zhao's family, there are also four.
This old man, named Zhao Donglin, is one of them, and he is also the ancestor of Zhao Qiu's lineage.
......
The formation on the ground shone with dazzling brilliance at the same time, and all the immortal stones turned into powder in an instant, and the ice coffin clicked, and finally with a bang, it was torn apart.
In the white light, Zhao Donglin's dry voice came: "What is disturbing me? Could it be that the Zhao family has a disaster of extermination?"
After the half-holy turtle sleeps, only the purest descendant essence blood can awaken, but before the most urgent moment, who will disturb their long sleep?
You know, after being awakened, these demi-saints only have one day to live.
The black shadow respectfully kowtowed and said, "The Zhao family is worry-free for the time being, but it is also about to be destroyed, so I risk death to ask Donglin Ancestor to come out of the customs and preside over the overall situation!"
"What does that mean?"
Zhao Donglin frowned, got up and walked out: "I have limited time, let's talk as I walk! What is your name? How many years has it been in the mountains and seas now?"
"Tell my ancestors that it is now the year 4020 of the mountain and sea calendar. ”
"In 4020... I've only been asleep for a hundred years... Well, what's your name?"
"Grandchild Zhao Guang, the son of Zhao Qiu..."
"Zhao Qiu, how is the little guy now?"
Zhao Donglin had a smile on his face.
This is his grandson, who is favored by him, but soon after he was born, Zhao Donglin fell into a deep sleep, and now he wakes up, and his great-grandchildren are so old.
The so-called intergenerational relatives, although Zhao Donglin has been sleeping for hundreds of years, his memory is still maintained in that time when he teased his grandson, and his love for Zhao Qiu has not been reduced.
For a while, the feeling of being awakened and running out of time faded a lot.
After all, when these demi-saints were asleep, they had already accepted their own end, and it was nothing more than a matter of time.
When you wake up at this time, you can still see your beloved grandson, which is better than a thousand years later, there is no half acquaintance in the world.
Zhao Guang followed behind him and replied respectfully: "My father is still in good health and is already the second elder of the family, but now that the villain of the Zhao family has gained the Tao, the situation is critical, and my father is difficult to stand independent, so I have the courage to wake up the ancestor... Otherwise, the Zhao family is in danger!"
"The villain has gained the Tao, is the elder council used to see?" Zhao Donglin's face sank: "What the hell is going on, you tell me in detail, I'll listen!"
"Yes!"
Zhao Guang is eloquent, and he focused on everything that happened in the past five years after Zhao Yucai left.
Of course, adding fuel and vinegar is inevitable.
However, Zhao Gan's 'outstanding achievements' were there, and picking a few random pieces made Zhao Donglin's forehead jump, and he almost didn't scold.
"It's just nonsense, this kind of stubborn son, even if it's a long-term descendant, what can it do?
The position of the patriarch of our Gongming Zhao family has always been inhabited by capable people, and a waste who has not been able to break through the entry of a decade has committed countless disasters, how can He De run for patriarch?
Your father did a good job! If the Gongming Zhao family is handed over to such a bastard guy, it will really be destroyed!"
Zhao Donglin spoke, waved his sleeves, brought Zhao Guang up, and used the method of submerging the abyss and shrinking the ground, and after a while, the sky could already be seen in front of him.
......
In the main hall of the ancestral house.
At this point, all the candidacy processes have been completed.
Except for Zhao Gan, who was proposed by the Great Elder, the rest of the elders did not propose candidates.
In other words, if he really wants to run for patriarch, Zhao Qian doesn't even have a competitor, and taking over is already an ironclad thing.
Zhao Qiu's face was gloomy, and he sat there silently, until he received the news, and he was sure in his heart.
Even 24 hours is enough!
Even if his grandfather's time is short, but after all, it is a half-step holy realm, and with his identity here, who would dare to resist?
You must know that these ancestors didn't have a few hours to live, and their style of action was naturally drastic, how could they still allow people to go against their will?
Zhao Yucai is still there, so that's it.
As the patriarch, he can mobilize all the strength of the family, and he is also a half-step holy realm, so he is naturally fearless.
But today's Gongming Zhao family, who else can and who dares to stand up and say no?
What's more, for today, Zhao Qiu has been planning for a long time, so naturally he won't only have this hole card!
At the end of the process, the Great Elder sat down and said with a smile:
"Today's agenda is over, and in three days, the whole family will be notified and voted...
However, since there is only one candidate, the vote is just a situation.
Ninth Elder, you are in charge of family etiquette, and the succession ceremony can be arranged first!"
The elders responded one after another, and then congratulated Zhao Gan, and the atmosphere was warm.
At this moment, an angry shout came from outside the hall: "How can the position of the patriarch be light?
A gust of wind blew, and the door of the palace bounced to both sides, and an old man with a withered face and goosebumps suddenly appeared, stretched out his hand, and dragged Zhao Guang to his side:
"I think this little guy is good, the position of the patriarch, let him sit down!
"Ancestor in the east?"
"It's... Who disturbed the Ancestor's eternal sleep!"
"Zhao Qiu, is it you, you dare to act so boldly!"
"Grandchildren meet their ancestors!"
“......”
A group of elders were shocked, and their behavior varied.
Zhao Gan's face was also a little ugly, he glared at Zhao Qian fiercely, and retreated to the side silently.
This kind of old monster, when he goes crazy, he can kill a low-level monk in an instant with a single holy thought, and he is just a humble and helpless mortal child, and he can't afford to provoke him.
The Great Elder's face turned pale.
Each of these sleeping demi-saints is the biggest hole card of the family, and if you wake up one, there will be one less, what Zhao Qiu has done has violated the bottom line!
Awakening the sleeping demi-saints, the procedures are extremely rigorous.
Except in extraordinary times, when the patriarch can decide by his word, it can only be executed by the approval of more than eighty percent of the votes of the Elders.
Moreover, there are many secret room formations under the ancestral house, and there are three forbidden areas outside the door, each of which is guarded by the family's internal guards twenty-four hours a day, how did Zhao Guang get in?
This can only prove that there are already people in the top echelons of the family's internal security who have been bought by Zhao Qiu, and there is definitely more than one person.
But at this point, there is no point in pursuing these further.
After the half-saint sleeps, he automatically obtains the position of the Supreme Elder, and the patriarch is not there, who can control it?
Zhao Donglin pulled Zhao Guang to the middle of the main hall, swept his eyes, and pointed at the Great Elder:
"Your kid is a little familiar, but the grandson of Boss Cera, look at your look, but what are you dissatisfied with me?"
The Great Elder bowed and saluted, "The East is facing the Ancestor, and the younger generations don't dare... It's just that the previous candidacy resolution was unanimously passed by the Council of Elders, and if the ancestor has other arrangements, he can push Zhao Guang into the candidate and wait for the family to vote in three days!"
Zhao Donglin's face sank, his eyes showed a fierce color, and he said sharply:
"You're a good plan! Three days later, three days later, my bones will be cold, and then you can do whatever you want?
Then Zhao Yucai is also the descendant of the boss of Shile, right? Even if he is not old, he is already a half-step holy realm, and he can be regarded as a genius of Tianzhong, but his son is too unsuccessful...
He looked at Zhao Qianzai carefully a few times, shook his head and said:
"Character aside, at such an old age, but still has not broken the mortal entry, can it be said that in the future, our Gongming Zhao family's huge family business will be handed over to a mortal to take charge?
Since I wake up today, I will set things right, and this matter will be decided in this way! The position of patriarch is held by Zhao Guang.
As for what family votes, it's just a process, so what's so difficult?
If not, I wouldn't mind cleaning up the portal and letting the Council of Elders change its blood!
Well, Qiu'er, you work hard to get this matter done, I'll stay here and talk to the juniors!"
Zhao Donglin glanced around at the people around him, and as soon as the holy thought came out, even if he was a master of the fairyland, his mind was still shaken, and it was a little difficult to breathe.
"The ancestor is really happy!"
Zhao Qiu was overjoyed, straightened his waist, said loudly, and after saluting, he walked towards the door of the main hall.
But as soon as half of his foot stepped out of the door, a piercing chill suddenly appeared beside him.
Zhao Qiu was shocked, his heart moved, and a dragon-shaped jade pendant on his chest shattered into two with a click.
A low dragon roar followed, and a turquoise dragon of light swirled up, protecting it within.
Three black lights appeared out of thin air, ignoring the light dragon, directly cutting through the void and falling on Zhao Qiuyintang, disappearing.
"Punish the gods, and wait for you to be presumptuous!"
In the main hall, Zhao Donglin shouted, his eyes were shining, and the majestic holy thoughts poured out, turning into sword lights visible to the naked eye, and in an instant, he had already swept over a distance of dozens of meters, sweeping towards Zhao Qiu's surroundings.
However, the appearance of those three black lights was so abrupt that even a half-step Saint Realm could not be rescued.
By the time the sword light arrived, Zhao Qiu had already stood still, his eyes gradually lost their brilliance, and he fell down.
The master of the dignified fairyland was punished by a blow, and his soul was scattered.
"Soul Kill?"
"Is it the patriarch?"
"Haha! The soul kill is still there, and the patriarch is naturally fine!"
"I said that it was impossible for the patriarch to have an accident, sure enough!"
“......”
A group of elders suddenly became excited.
The soul killing is Zhao Yucai's use of the soul contract to subdue, it is an extremely domineering contract, the real master dies and the servant dies.
Now, since the soul killing is there, Zhao Yucai is naturally still alive!
What is the saying that he has already died in the catastrophe, it is self-defeating!
