Chapter 252 The cold wave descends and mutations occur!
After two lifetimes, Zhao Sheng stepped into Dongtian City again. What he saw was that Dongtian City was still full of various pavilions, pavilions and towers. There were clearly defined streets and well-organized roads. People were coming and going in the streets, and it was bustling and bustling.
The cave walls around the cave are densely packed with caves, and there are also immortal cultivators with different clothes and different expressions flying in and out of the caves, which looks extremely busy.
Nine hundred years have passed by, and Dongtian City is still the same city of casual cultivators as it was in the past!
Zhao Sheng felt a flash of emotion in his heart.
He walked leisurely on the streets of Fangshi. When he was interested, he would sometimes enter the shops along the roadside, and sometimes he would lean down and randomly select a few knick-knacks from the stalls.
After he became familiar with the environment and atmosphere of Dongtian City again, Zhao Sheng set out for the inner city.
Half a quarter of an hour later, in the backyard living room of a pill shop in Dandingfang, Zhao Sheng sat at the top with a golden sword, and a middle-aged man with an ordinary face stood respectfully on his left.
"Master Pulse, this is all the information we have collected recently. Please take a look at it."
The middle-aged man's name is Zhao Yangong, he is in the middle stage of Qi refining, he is a member of the ANBU, and he is also a member of the Shenzi clan, so he is not called the clan elder, but Zhao Sheng is the clan leader.
Zhao Sheng took a photo of the jade slip, penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness, and read the information inside in the blink of an eye.
"Well, Dongtian City has been in chaos recently! A casual cultivator of Golden Pill was actually assassinated by his apprentice, and he succeeded. This is simply ridiculous."
"Pulse Master, Shi Qin Zhenren ended up like this. Rumor has it that he was seriously injured during the expedition to the Relic Mansion half a year ago. After he came back, he tried to take the life of his apprentice to heal his injuries. Only then was he attacked by three apprentices together, and finally
Death."
"Where are the three apprentices?"
"The three of them have disappeared."
"Haha, I think missing someone is false, but being silenced is true."
"Pulse Master, you mean that Shi Qin Zhenren was not killed by his apprentice, but that the murderer was someone else?"
"Well, whether it's for treasure or vendetta, it has nothing to do with the purpose of my coming here.
But I want to remind you that there are some things that you must not mess with, and it is best not to even touch some things! People will die, do you understand?"
"Yes, Lord Pulse! Yan Gong has realized his mistake, and I will immediately sever ties with outsiders." Upon hearing this, Zhao Yan Gong broke out in a cold sweat and was so frightened that he bowed and begged for mercy.
Zhao Sheng only hit the opponent once and had no intention of attacking him.
After resting for a day, Zhao Sheng took two storage bags containing necessary supplies and left Dongtian City alone.
As a foundation-building monk, he does not have to climb up and down as hard as in his previous life. He can easily fly through the Tiangang atmosphere just by controlling the Fangtian Painting Halberd.
It took a quarter of an hour for Zhao Sheng to fly directly onto the cliff face of a mountain valley eighteen miles high.
Along the uneven cliff face mixed with gray and green, it flew horizontally for nearly four hundred miles.
The cloudy world on the dark side of Tianzhu Mountain soon appeared in front of him.
After searching for a while, Zhao Sheng quickly saw the landmark: the big bluestone more than three feet high.
After nearly a thousand years of continuous exploration by Zhao clan members, every plant and tree along the 300-mile journey from Daqingshi to Zhao's Secret Mansion has been clearly marked.
Not only that, the Zhao family also set up many secret fortresses along the way, which were usually used for the tribesmen to rest, protect safety and avoid sudden dangers.
Three days later, on a seemingly ordinary cloud-mist cliff, Zhao Sheng stood on a raised stone, took out a knife-shaped pass token from his sleeve, and shook it gently at the clouds and mist in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, the thick clouds and mist in front of him suddenly opened up a winding three-foot path. Zhao Sheng dodged, flew across the path, and entered the secret palace.
After he disappeared, the clouds and mist spread again, and the path was quickly hidden among numerous formations.
As soon as Zhao Sheng stepped onto the ground after crossing the third-level illusion formation and defense formation, bursts of fragrant, sweet and strong fragrance, accompanied by streams of vivid water and wood spiritual energy, instantly surged to his nose.
Zhao Sheng took a deep breath and fixed his eyes directly on the ancient flat peach tree, which was as thick as two people's arms, with old and twisted branches, and a huge shade like a mountain, so big that it occupied most of the world.
Under the careful care of the Zhao clan, this ancient and exotic tree has grown beyond imagination.
The peach leaves are as crystal clear as jasper, and the large spiritual clouds under the trees among the branches are surrounded by large swaths of water vapor that are jumping up and down, reflecting streaks of rainbow light.
Under the cover of peach leaf branches, life-extending flat peaches that are the size of a human head, with red tops and white skin, and skin as smooth as jade, with a faint aura shining on the surface, hang high and low among the treetops, exuding an extremely attractive scent.
aroma.
In ancient times, flat peach trees bloomed every thirty years and bore fruit every thirty years, yielding thirty-six peaches.
Because there was still half a year before this round of ripening, Zhao Sheng came to the Secret Mansion in advance to guard the peach trees.
When the flat peaches are truly ripe, Zhao Xuanjing, the ancestor of the Zhao family's golden elixir, will also come here in person.
"Qingyang, my family really sent you here."
While he was talking, a thin old man with an unusually old face, ocher clothes and white hair suddenly emerged from a cave not far away, and landed in front of Zhao Sheng, smiling with a surprised expression.
Zhao Sheng walked forward a few steps and said with a smile: "Fifth Master, there are no more than ten people in my family who know this place. After all, I am the most suitable."
The fifth master's real name is Zhao Daochuan, who is at the eighth level of foundation building. He ate a life-extending peach in his early years, so he is the only living Daoist clan member of the Zhao family.
Zhao Daochuan was not born in Xinglongyuan, but was from the Taiwu Mountain side of his ancestral home.
This person has been obsessed with formations all his life, and is especially good at civil construction, so he is highly valued and favored by Zhao Xuanjing.
As we all know, formations are extensive, 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.
Zhao Sheng couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this situation. There was nothing he could 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 aura network 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 that slowly dissipated. Zhao Sheng's muscles and bones crackled, and the mercury marrow blood in his body surged like a roar. His body expanded and contracted nine times in a row before returning 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 the exercise was completed, 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 formations, 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 thunder that kept exploding during a thunderstorm. The sound of thunder came from far to near, pressing and pressing.
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 rotates and condenses out in the blink of an eye, and the air pillars circle and roar, constantly stirring up the surrounding dense fog.
In just a few minutes, the end of Zhao Sheng's vision 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, and unknown to where.
The white cold wave is boundless and mighty, crushing everything with overwhelming force.
Countless cold currents between heaven and earth turned into bone-piercing "ice spears", with thorns criss-crossing 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 fully activated, 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 and has lost any interest in it.
…
five days later,
Bang, bang!
A piece of earth and rock 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 was standing on the edge of the slope. Suddenly he narrowed his eyes and saw a half-body body, only from 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 about fifty years old. 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 corpses of two foundation-building monks have fallen down in succession. The place of death happened to be at an unknown height above the secret palace.
Is this a bit strange?
boom!
At this time, another large piece of earth and rock mixed with a large amount of ice and snow roared down from the sky.
Zhao Sheng raised his head and looked up at the sky, but his sight was blocked by ice and snow, and he couldn't see what was happening above.
"An accidental fight...a coincidence...or...?" Zhao Sheng looked at the sky thoughtfully and murmured to himself.
On the next day, batches of earth, rocks, ice and snow continued to fall around the secret palace, and there were also many corpses of monsters and immortal cultivators.
Even at night, Zhao Sheng saw three foundation-building monks each carrying three bright fireballs, quickly passing over 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 take a look."
With a flash of inspiration, Zhao Sheng immediately turned into a wisp of smoke and penetrated into the cave.
After passing through the long passage and passing through the large-scale building complexes, Zhao Sheng arrived at the Shanlong Cave.
After thousands of years of growth, the entire cave has been occupied by countless roots of the peach tree. Most of the huge mountain dragon's remains have been consumed at this moment, and the body is only three stories high.
Zhao Sheng has no intention of caring about this.
He quickly passed through the passages in the northwest corner of the cave, driving for more than a hundred feet, and finally arrived at a huge stone hall.
He quickly found Zhao Daochuan and explained his intention to go out to investigate.
"Qingyang, the flat peaches are almost ripe. Why don't you go out right now?" Zhao Daochuan said tactfully.
"Master, with you here, and the third-level magic circle outside, it is impossible for ordinary Jindan Daoist to invade in a short time. And over the years, has any outsider discovered the secret mansion?"
"I have been discovered several times before, but they were all killed. As for the real Jin Dan, there is no one." Zhao Daochuan said in a low voice.
"Yes! In that case, what are you worried about? Master, I have a hunch that maybe the opportunity will come. If I don't go there, I will be very unwilling." Zhao Shengyue said, his heart was throbbing more and more, as if it really happened.
As if something was waiting for him.
"In this case, it's okay for you to go there. But be careful. If you are in danger, go back quickly. The ancestors will come at any time. Just let the ancestors take action when the time comes."
"Well, I'll leave first!"
Zhao Sheng nodded at him, then turned and left the place.
A moment later, a thin man with a yellow face appeared out of thin air in a dangerous depression.
This man is Zhao Sheng after changing his body shape.
He took out a three-inch flying sword and swung it out with a shake of his hand. The small sword suddenly grew to a length of three feet, and then turned into a sword rainbow that wrapped around Zhao Sheng's body and rushed into the sky quickly.
An hour later, Zhao Sheng flew through two seas of clouds continuously and reached an altitude of more than forty 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 mountain cliffs are all covered with a thick layer of ice, and the sky is covered with all kinds of strange and extremely sharp frost.
Countless frosts are raging back and forth with the roar of the storm, and their destructive power is no less than that of countless first-level spells bursting out at the same time. Ordinary Qi refining in the late stage can not last even two breaths, and it is impossible to survive here unless you are in the foundation building realm.
However, in this harsh environment, Zhao Sheng looked at the sky from a distance and was shocked to see a large piece of white mist in the sky.
