Best Ascension

Chapter 406 Abyss of Fire, Imminent Launch

After chatting for a while, Zhao Sheng put away his smiling face and said seriously: "The 'Fate Flame' has been maintained for more than a year now, how is the effect?"

The corners of Zhao Fuji's mouth turned up, and he grinned and said: "Look at the growth of this batch of Qiongshen flowers, it is indeed more vigorous than in the same period. According to the calculation of the old man, its growth speed has at least doubled."

Zhao Sheng estimated after hearing the words: "In other words, it only takes four to five hundred years for the thousand-year-old Qiongshen flower to grow?"

"It's true from the perspective of growth, but you can't just look at one aspect and calculate the labor cost. In the end, it's a profit or a loss, and it's two things!"

Zhao Sheng looked at the red robe golden pill not far away, nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, it seems that the method of 'Fate Flame' still needs to be greatly improved."

"Good things take a long time! By the way, I must congratulate you. Congratulations. You are now called the master of the sect, and you will definitely be famous in the immortal history. To be honest, I also envy you." Zhao Fuji said at the end , his face was full of envy.

"Fuzu, where do you start with this?" Zhao Sheng couldn't help asking, his heart moved.

Zhao Fuji glared at him, and said in a sour tone: "Don't say you can't figure it out. Just relying on the infinite potential of the 'Fate Flame' Taoism, there will definitely be more middle and low-level students with similar characteristics in the future." Techniques. If it develops normally, maybe the first fire spirit farmer in the Tianzhu world comes from our Nantian Zhao family."

"In Tianzhu Realm, there should be quite a few Huoxing Lingnong. Fu Zu is a bit exaggerated."

Zhao Sheng still wanted to hide his clumsiness, but Zhao Fuji shouted angrily as if he had eaten gunpowder: "You kid is pretending to be confused on purpose, can the two be confused? Just relying on an unprecedented ripening method , you kid will be able to claim to be a grand master openly and aboveboard. It won’t take thousands of years for the fire spirit practitioner to prevail in the world.”

"Also, don't be so busy refining treasures, improve Mingyan quickly, then simplify it as soon as possible, and deduce more spiritual spells. You must know that this is the real big deal!"

Zhao Sheng saw that the other party was serious, so he had no choice but to agree: "Fuzu taught you the right thing. After I go back, I will try my best to improve Mingyan Dao."

After finishing speaking, he called the red-robed golden elixir over and carefully asked him how he felt.

Half an hour later, according to the feedback, Zhao Sheng differentiated into thousands of strands of divine thoughts again, and began to make various fine adjustments to the structure of Taoism.

An hour later, after Zhao Sheng listened to Old Ancestor Fu's description, he started again...

This process of constant revision and fine-tuning lasted for three days and three nights.

In the early morning of the fourth day, following Zhao Fuji's order, the 22 fire foundation cultivators in Shenlong Valley rushed to Wanyao Garden to report.

Zhao Sheng released 22 consecutive rounds of "Sun" in the medicine garden, and then taught the Foundation Establishment monks how to use their spiritual consciousness to connect with Taoism and how to maintain the immortal flame.

On the fifth day, Zhao Sheng returned to the Binghuo Peak cave, and immediately hung up the retreat sign to start a new round of retreat.

The reason for the retreat is, on the one hand, to deduce the Taoism, and on the other hand, it is the beginning of the Hundred Flame Cauldron, which still needs constant warming and sacrifice day and night.

Afterwards, every two or three months, he would go out to the Ten Thousand Medicines Garden to communicate with Zhao Fuji and a group of Huoxing Foundation Builders, and then based on the feedback, he would correct the minor flaws in the Mingyan Taoism.

As time went by, there was more and more commotion in Wanyaoyuan, which not only attracted the attention of many high-ranking Zhao family members, but also shocked all Yuanying Patriarchs.

After only going to the medicine garden, the ancestors of Yuanying immediately realized the importance of the Taoism "Fate Flame", so they immediately issued a gag order to all insiders and blocked the news from the outside world.

However, it was too late by this time!
As the core of Nantian Zhao Clan, Shenlong Valley has many spies from other forces lurking in the valley.

The changes in Wanyaoyuan in the past year have already alarmed those secret spies with a keen sense of smell, and the news has actually leaked out long ago.

As a result, the high-level power holders of the Nantian Zhao Clan quickly discovered how in recent months, more and more "friendly" forces have sent people to Shenlong Valley under the guise of visiting and communicating.

Most of the visitors were alchemists, and they established friendship with the alchemists of the Zhao clan, exchanging their experience in alchemy and planting medicine in various ways, and spying on the garden of ten thousand medicines in different ways.

Fortunately, Mrs. Zhao was well prepared and covered the "experimental field" with a phantom barrier early on, completely isolating outsiders from prying eyes.

But how can this little method stop someone with a heart.

Among all the visiting forces, the Weaver Girl Dong's family is the most shameless.The Dong family has been married to the Zhao family through the ages, and the relationship between the two parties is very close, so they have the cheek to call out, hoping to participate.

Zhao Changdu, Zhao Fuji, Qu Feng and others closed the door to discuss. After asking Zhao Sheng's opinion, they simply let the Dong family, Ziyangzong, and Dizangzong's closest forces join the experiment. .

Of course, these companies also had to pay a lot of price, including a batch of congenital gold essences that were not light.

But after realizing the great value of Mingyan, several forces instantly felt that everything was too worthwhile!

At the same time, Zhao Sheng gradually became well-known, and many Yuanying ancestors really remembered this promising Zhao family Yuanying.

……

Time is like water, and it is another two years in a flash.

On the third day of the ninth lunar month, Shenlong Valley loosens the outside and tightens the inside, and the valley has already declined all outside visitors three days ago.

The sun rose high into the sky, and the scorching sun shone on Bixia Peak, casting a long shadow in front of the mountain, and the shadow fell straight into a magnificent square covering an area of ​​ten miles.

At this moment, in the center of the square, two hundred-human humanitarian regiments formed two neat square formations, standing there solemnly, motionless.

Everyone was silent, and a series of iron and blood aura soared into the sky, turning into a large piece of strong evil spirit that filled the square, and almost came out of form.

For thousands of years, the Nantian Zhao family has trained many powerful Taoist soldiers, but the most elite is always the Five Elements Taoist army.

The Five Elements Soldiers were founded in the early days of the Second World War. They had faced the first wave of alien invasions, experienced the long and cruel Great Wall War, and were the vanguard of the counterattack against the Sea of ​​Broken Stars.

In the millennium after the end of the Great War between the Two Worlds, the Five Elements Daoist Soldiers encountered many bloody battles one after another. They were beaten to the brink of extinction several times, but they tenaciously rebuilt many times.

Nantian Zhao's current status can be said to be due to the Five Elements Daoist Soldiers.

Today, the Five Elements Dao Soldiers Legion has been renamed the Five Elements Banner, and each banner has at least 200 Dao soldiers. Those with the lowest cultivation level need to be in the late stage of Qi refining, and at least one-fifth of the Dao soldiers are as strong as Foundation Establishment.

Taking the Houtu Banner as an example, after controlling the special second-order top-grade diamond puppets, the combat power of each Houtu Taoist soldier is not inferior to that of a foundation-building monk.

If a hundred people form a large formation, the Jindan Banner envoy can unite the power of the whole formation, and even a Yuanying Patriarch can be trapped for a short time.

Even in the face of twice the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Thick Earth Legion can easily defeat them.

In order to wipe out the Diyan Palace in one fell swoop, the Zhao family did not hesitate to mobilize the Houtu and Lieyang Second Banners, and summoned more than [-] Jindan real people. It was summoned temporarily.

In addition, the Zhao family also sent the Eleventh Patriarch Zhou Li and the Sixteenth Patriarch Zhao Qiongtian, two Yuanying patriarchs.

As the sun gradually rose to the sky, Zhou Li and Zhao Sheng hung over the square, quietly waiting for something.

After a quarter of an hour, the messenger jade plates on the waists of the two Yuanying patriarchs suddenly flickered.

Zhao Sheng and Zhao Sheng looked at each other, and their spiritual thoughts penetrated into the jade plate at the same time.

After Zhao Sheng looked at it, he immediately said: "The third patriarch has sent a message, and the Dizangzong has just left."

Zhou Li smiled slightly: "The news came just in time, and the Ziyang Sect's men and horses have also been dispatched. We will set off immediately!"

"It's fine for senior Zhou to be the master, and this junior has no objection." Zhao Sheng took the initiative to give up the master's position upon hearing this.

After a while, a nearly [-]-foot "Moanyue" class cloud boat slowly docked on the square.

Seeing this, Jindan real people turned into lights and flew into the cloud boat, and the two banners of Houtu and Lieyang also jumped into the sky and filed in.The last ones are the two Nascent Soul Patriarchs.

Not long after, this large cloud boat left the ground without a sound and rose straight into the sky. Then it rumbled through the clouds and galloped towards the east.

……

In the east of Central Continent, there is an endless volcanic group called the Huoyun Mountains. Volcanoes here erupt all year round, scorched the earth, and life is extinct.

Going down from the craters one after another, going deep into the depths of thousands of feet, is an endless and magnificent abyss, where countless red magma rivers converge here from all directions, forming a vast and boundless underground magma sea.

On the vast and boundless sea, hot and viscous magma is slowly flowing, covered with a thin layer of crimson rock crust, and from time to time, one after another, huge dark red fire bubbles can be seen slowly swelling up. It often swells to several miles, or even tens of miles, and looks like "hills" moving slowly from a distance.

Whenever a huge fire bubble bursts suddenly, it emits a huge roar like a bull's roar, and at the same time explodes a large amount of suffocating and poisonous gas, which spreads to the sky above the abyss.

After tens of thousands of years of accumulation, the sky above the abyss has long been filled with black smoke, filled with extremely high concentration of highly poisonous gas. Ordinary people will die on the spot when they smell it.

The mountain gate of Diyan Palace is a giant floating island, wandering in the sea of ​​magma all the year round, its trajectory is unpredictable and extremely secretive.

It is also because of the "unique" special environment that the Diyan Palace has repeatedly escaped the siege, and finally allowed its own lineage to last for nearly ten thousand years.

But this time, will it continue to be "lucky"?

On this day, somewhere in the sea of ​​fire in the abyss of the earth, a thick and straight gray stone pillar protruded from the magma sea. On the top of the stone pillar stood a rough, heavy gray stone hall.

Whizzing!

At this time, five or six rays of light suddenly broke through the black smoke and flew into the hall one after another.

Zhao Sheng and Zhou Li brought the four Jindan Daoist people into the hall, Zhao Sheng was slightly taken aback.

In the main seat of the main hall, besides the third patriarch Zhao Changdu, there was also a bald old man wearing a Yin-Yang Tai Chi robe. The two seemed to be discussing something in a low voice, and there were many figures in Ksitigarbha costumes standing on both sides. .

Zhao Zhengzhuo, who was dressed in a luxurious and clear gown, stood impressively in the crowd. He was next to a stunning girl in a red dress. He never took his eyes off her, as if his heart belonged.

This girl in the red dress is full of heroism, and her pair of red phoenix eyes are particularly brilliant. The light in her eyes is clear and agile, as if she can penetrate people's hearts.

Just as Zhao Sheng and his party stepped into the gate of the palace, everyone in the palace immediately looked over.

"Meet the Third Patriarch."

"My family doesn't need to be too polite!"

Zhao Changdu waved his hands, signaling Zhao Sheng and Zhou Li to sit down on the stage.

After the two sat down, he smiled again and said, "Qiong Tian will introduce you, this is Huang Yu, Huang Yu, the well-known 'formation master' in Central Continent!"

Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed, and he immediately bowed his hands and said: "Junior Zhao Qiongtian, I have met Huang Zongshi."

Zhou Li and Huang Yu on the side have known each other for a long time, so there is no need to be extra polite.

"Hey, Senior Zhao is over-reputed. The formation technique is extensive and profound. Huang only understands it a little bit. He absolutely dare not pretend to be a master." The bald old man looked very humble.

This person had been living in seclusion in Tianzhu Mountain before, and worked together with the other two formation masters to study in an attempt to restore the Ascension Formation.

Later, this person was personally invited out of the mountain by Zhao Changdu, just to crack the mountain guard formation outside the Diyan Palace.

Zhao Changdu smiled when he saw this, and said to Zhao Sheng and the two: "Now everyone is not here yet, let's wait for the people from Ziyang Sect. When everyone is here, let's get down to business."

Zhao Sheng and Zhou Li nodded slightly, then closed their eyes to rest.

The hall quickly fell silent.

About half an hour later, the outside of the main hall was suddenly covered with a layer of purple, the temperature in the hall soared, and the air became extremely hot.

At this time, there was a sound of loud footsteps, which attracted the attention of most people in the hall.

Zhao Sheng followed the prestige and saw three more people coming in at the door as the purple meaning spread across the hall.

The first person was wearing a purple gown, with eagle eyes and thin lips. He walked like a dragon and a tiger, showing his domineering arrogance.He looked to be in his thirties, with a very tall stature, but his figure was a little thin, and his complexion was burnt yellow, as if he had been burned by fire.

After Zhao Sheng's divine sense swept over this person, his pupils shrank slightly.

This person seems to be domineering, but his whole body's aura is extremely restrained, like an iron wall, blocking all detections at once.

The eagle-eyed man was followed by two people, one of whom was handsome and elegant.The other person is a delicate and beautiful woman wearing a golden phoenix hairpin and a little flame pattern between her brows.

Although Zhao Sheng didn't often walk around in the world, he still recognized the identity of the person at a glance.

"Ziyang Sect actually sent Shangguan Longhu and Ling Fengqi, the most famous Nascent Soul couples in the sect. It seems that the picture is not small!" He thought to himself.

Shangguan Longhu's expression was cold, he ignored the gazes of the people around him, he led the two of them up the high platform a few steps, bowed to Zhao Changdu with his hands together and said, "Dragon and Hu brought their Taoist companion Feng Qi to join the battle, fellow Daoist Zhao, you are very polite."

"Okay, everyone is here." Zhao Changdu nodded to Shangguan Longhu and the three, then stood up.

Seeing this, everyone in the hall fell silent and their expressions became serious.
