Three High-Ranked Spells Reached Perfection! Young Master Dan's Misfortune! (8K)
Although there are many Grotto-Heaven World in the Great Zhou, it is rare for Grotto-Heaven to be upgraded to a blessed land.
Because the birth of the small worlds in the Grotto-Heaven is measured in epochs (millions of years)!
The more than 300 Grotto-Heaven worlds that exist today are all ancient, and no one knows exactly when they were created.
According to the calculations of the Great Zhou's Fate Officials, the Ten Yang Grotto-Heaven were probably born about 500,000 years ago. Compared with the other Grotto-Heaven, they are just newborn babies.
"Ten Suns in the Sky, it's really possible that the Profound Heaven Sect orchestrated this," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "During the two reigns, the Profound Heaven Sect also caused a major incident in Guangling Grotto-Heaven... But this time, the Ten Yang Grotto-Heaven is something I've only just discovered. It's truly a great discovery."
"No wonder that mysterious palace seemed familiar; it was in the style of the Profound Heaven Sect."
In his previous life, he had joined the Mystic Heaven camp. The architectural style of the Outer Sects was quite different from that of the Great Zhou.
Following this conjecture, and combining it with his previous life's experience, Zhao Xing quickly came to a conclusion. "The Ten Yang Grotto-Heaven was conquered. The Marquis Mingwu of the Tigron Army and the Marquis Mingwei of the Black Armor Army discovered this unclaimed Grotto-Heaven during the expansionist war at the end of the Renovation Era Calendar."
"According to records, it was stolen from the Southern Barbarians, but... the Profound Heaven Sect may very well have been the master of this Grotto-Heaven World, just like the Guangling Grotto-Heaven."
"That mysterious palace is very likely a remnant of the ancient Profound Heaven Sect, but it has never been discovered."
"Even... this Grotto-Heaven was deliberately captured by Marquis Mingwu and his men!"
"Why do this?" Zhao Xing calculated with his fingers, but then he noticed that the Grotto-Heaven was trembling.
It was clear that calculating this matter would have required a considerable price, but the backlash was absorbed by the Grotto-Heaven.
Even so, Zhao Xing was unable to calculate anything, and the spell simply failed.
But this also reveals a lot. Based on his experience from his previous life, Zhao Xing continued to speculate, and a bold idea suddenly popped into his mind. "The Profound Heaven Sect's arrangement of the Ten Yang Grotto-Heaven, which is located near the Ten Yang Grotto-Heaven Nine Heavens Responding Origin Prefecture, shows that they have always wanted to overthrow the Great Zhou. Is this a show of force?"
"To whom are we showing it? Emperor Jing? Perhaps not only to enemies, but also to allies..." Zhao Xing's pupils dilated. "Liang King!"
Upon realizing this possibility, Zhao Xing suddenly understood.
"No wonder the Liang King dared to rebel in his past life!"
"This show of force by the Profound Heaven Sect has probably given him a lot of courage."
"The Military Realm is the force that maintains the rule of the Great Zhou. If even the Military Realm can be shaken, the Liang King, who already had ulterior motives, will be tempted."
"In addition to the failure to quell the barbarians... all these factors led Liang King to take action."
In his previous life, Zhao Xing did not quite understand why the Liang King Rebellion.
If you're so bad at this, why did you rebel against your brother?
Where did the courage come from?
If the guess is correct, then this courage was given by the Outer Sects.
Zhao Xing was somewhat shocked to come to these conclusions.
"The Ancient Divine Sect's schemes were truly far-reaching; wasn't this a kind of prediction of the future?"
In an instant, many insights about fate-related spells welled up in his mind.
Zhao Xing did not continue to speculate on this matter.
Because he dared not.
At this moment, Zhao Xing broke through the Five Finger Heavenly Mandate and discovered that in this starry sky, there were lines extending in this direction.
The Karma Soul also felt a strange tremor, as if someone was watching it.
Zhao Xing was startled when he saw this scene.
"We can't keep calculating this; it's already alerted certain beings."
Such a high level of skill, a scheme planned over many years, would alert the other party even if the planner couldn't calculate it themselves.
Fortunately, the situation was special at the time; otherwise, Zhao Xing would never have dared to speculate.
"Heaven's Mandate as a Blade, slash!"
Zhao Xing pointed his finger, and Golden Light flashed, severing all the threads that were reaching towards him.
Once the thread broke, that fluttering feeling disappeared.
"Fortunately, I am currently inside the Heavenly Gate of the Cave, and my Five Fingers Heavenly Fate has made a breakthrough, so I can conceal my presence," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
Entering the Heavenly Gate Deduction the future, his Five Finger Heavenly Mandate underwent a major breakthrough! It has already reached the level of high-level magic.
Furthermore, he possessed two advanced secret techniques.
[Heaven's Mandate as a Blade: A high-level spell of the Destiny category]
[Progress: High-level Perfection]
[Effect: Heaven's Mandate as a Blade, severing the mysteries of heaven]
[Heaven's Mandate Profound Concealment: High-level Destiny-related Spell]
[Progress: High-level Perfection]
[Effect: Conceals one's destiny and secrets, and isolates one from the prying eyes of cause and effect.]
"As expected of the Myriad Laws Heavenly Gate, it directly achieved the perfection of a high-level law."
Zhao Xing immediately activated [Heaven's Mandate Profound Concealment].
"Buzz~"
Starlight fell upon Zhao Xing, as if draping him in a thin veil.
"The Heaven's Mandate Profound Concealment, performed with the power of the Ten Yang Grotto-Heaven, cannot be calculated even after I leave the Heavenly Gate, unless it is a technique of the Creation Disc level that is specifically designed to deduce my fate," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
"However, this possibility is very small."
The masses are like ants.
The situation just now was like two giants, the Southern Barbarians and the Great Zhou, fighting, and an ant accidentally entered the battlefield.
Just as I was about to take a look, the ant vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving the battlefield and returning to its ant colony.
At that moment, it was impossible for the giant to squat down, take a magnifying glass, and go looking for an ant.
"This is still not safe."
Zhao Xing was extremely cautious. He immediately sealed this memory away in the book "The Great Dream Spring and Autumn" and put it into a timed seal.
Zhao Xing sealed away all the speculations about the Profound Heaven Sect, Liang King, and even some other things that might involve hidden memories from his past life.
The plan is to lift the lockdown in six months, and by then the Ten Yang Grotto-Heaven incident should be over.
Only when certain specific conditions are triggered, or when one enters a dream, can one recall it.
"I'm not good at this high-level game, so I won't participate."
Knowing these secrets, Old Master Zhao had no intention of doing anything.
He just wanted to gain some benefits and protect the people he cared about, such as Old Chen, Long Xiao, and Xia Jing, who were close to him.
In the grand scheme of things, they were nothing more than ants. The deaths of one or two fewer ants would not attract the attention of the giants of the Great Zhou, the Southern Barbarians, and the sects.
"This can also be considered another way of Steal Heavenly Secrets and changing fate," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "In the future prediction I just saw, the scene involving Old Chen appeared more than 30 million times. In these 30 million futures, this guy actually died more than 20 million times."
Yes, Old Chen's luck has improved, but in this disaster at the Ten Yang Grotto-Heaven, even Fifth Grade will die. Even Xia Jing and Long Xiao have a 30-40% chance of dying. It's normal that Old Chen's chance is higher.
"Seal!"
After making the arrangements, Zhao Xing wiped his eyes with both hands.
A moment later, his eyes became blank.
At this moment, his impressions of the Profound Heaven Sect, the mysterious palace, and the Liang King during this period gradually faded from his mind.
"Hmm? I feel like I've forgotten something." Zhao Xing looked at his hands with a puzzled expression, his brows furrowed.
After a moment, Zhao Xing's brows relaxed. "I think I've figured something out, and I've deliberately forgotten some things."
Zhao Xing discovered that if he actively resisted this force of 'forgetting,' he could remember it.
But he didn't do that, because he guessed he wouldn't put a seal on himself for no reason.
"Buzz~"
At that very moment.
A tiny ray of light suddenly appeared in the starry sky, catching Zhao Xing's attention.
"Hmm? Why is someone spying on me again?"
"Huh? Why did I say 'again'?"
Zhao Xing tilted his head and looked at the observer beyond the starry sky.
The line was very thin, but when magnified, it looked like a black worm, but with the head of a dragon.
"Compared to the previous spying, this is far too weak. Hmm? The previous one?"
Zhao Xing understood that the seal was preventing him from recalling the past, so he stopped worrying about it.
He casually unleashed the [Heaven's Mandate Like a Blade] technique.
On the way to the Inverted Peak Mountain Range, in Young Master Dan's Tower Ship.
Liang Ruohai was staring at the Black-and-White Compass when a starry sky appeared in his eyes. Beneath the starry sky, a blurry figure sat cross-legged.
"It must be this person who cut off the young master's opportunity." Liang Ruohai continued to exert his strength, trying to see more clearly.
However, it seemed as if there was a barrier in front of him, covering the entire starry sky, and no matter how he crawled, he could not get through.
Just then, the figure under the starry sky suddenly looked up and tilted its head.
His face was still not clearly visible, but he raised his hand.
"Oh no!" Liang Ruohai sensed something was wrong and immediately tried to end the deduction.
However, it was too late—
"Click click click~"
The jade bones placed on the Black-and-White Compass shattered in an instant.
"Bang!"
A floating dragon bone exploded instantly.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle~" Immediately afterward, the black dragon blood next to the compass also evaporated.
"Boom!"
The Black-and-White Compass was instantly shattered into dust.
But the aftershocks of the backlash are still terrifying!
"Pfft~"
Liang Ruohai immediately grabbed the knife next to him, chopped off his right arm, and threw it into the Black-and-White Compass area.
"Buzz~"
Silently, his entire right arm turned to dust.
However, the backlash did not subside!
"What? This isn't enough?" Liang Ruohai gritted his teeth and severed his own legs.
"Buzz~"
The same fate befell his legs as his right hand; they too were silently shattered.
But that's not enough!
"This is a backlash from fate, it's going to kill me..." Liang Ruohai sighed and used his remaining hand to make a cut across his chest.
Then he began to mutter incantations.
"With my lifeblood, I wish to repay Heaven for my longevity."
"Gurgle~"
His blood surged, and the image of Liang Ruohai materialized before him.
It landed in the area before the Black-and-White Compass was shattered.
"Hiss hiss hiss~"
The blood evaporated instantly and disappeared.
Only then did the backlash finally end.
"Teacher? Teacher!"
Upon hearing the commotion, Ji Dan arrived at the Scenic Outlook Platform and his expression changed drastically upon seeing the scene before him.
He rushed forward and helped Liang Ruohai up as he was about to fall.
"Teacher, what's wrong with you?!" Ji Dan was completely shocked.
At this moment, Liang Ruohai's legs had disappeared, his right hand was gone, and his face was full of wrinkles and his hair was completely white, making him look like a dying old man.
You should know that Liang Ruohai is only 170 years old now, which is the prime of life for Fifth Grade official!
How did it become like this?
Ji Dan placed her hand on Liang Ruohai's wrist and channeled her vital energy into his dantian. Her heart sank instantly.
Liang Ruohai's dantian qi vortex was already filled with mottled cracks, as were the textures of his bones.
Everything seemed to indicate that Liang Ruohai was indeed old and not temporarily poisoned or bewitched.
"Teacher, teacher!" Ji Dan shouted anxiously, "Quickly, bring all the medicinal herbs from the pill storehouse over here!"
Liang Ruohai was his teacher who had been with him the longest. He rarely saw his father, and when they did, his father was more like a prince than a father. To him, his father was like a dark and gloomy sea.
For him, Liang Ruohai was both a teacher and a father.
"Young master, there's no need for you to trouble yourself," Liang Ruohai said hoarsely. "I'm already exhausted, and I can only live for another ten years at most."
"If it weren't for my Fifth Grade Official Rank and the protection of the imperial court, I would probably be dead by now."
"This kind of backlash cannot be repaired by any elixir."
"Teacher..." Ji Dan's eyes welled up with tears. He understood that this was because his teacher had been backfired after deducing the secrets of heaven for him.
"Dan, listen to me," Liang Ruohai said with great difficulty, "Turn the boat around right now and stop heading east."
"Teacher," Ji Dan wiped away her tears, her face turning fierce, "Please tell me, who is plotting against me? Nineteen, or thirteen? Or the Heir Apparent?!"
Liang Ruohai shook his head. "I don't know."
"Young Master, Mr. Liang..." At this moment, the warriors under his command also carried boxes of pills to the Scenic Outlook Platform. Upon seeing this scene, they were greatly surprised.
"Listen to me," Liang Ruohai said, "Turn around."
Upon seeing his subordinates approach, Ji Dan immediately composed himself and stopped losing his composure. "Yes, turn the Tower Ship around immediately, and no one is to go to the Inverted Peak Mountain Range again!"
"Help Mr. Liang down to rest."
"Yes."
"Brothers and kin are no match for the position of Heir Apparent..." After everyone had left, Ji Dan's eyes were filled with sorrow. A moment later, Ji Dan eyes filled with rage. "Thirteenth, nineteenth, Heir Apparent, you just wait!"
Deep in the Southern Wilderness, on a Sacred Mountain bathed in Golden Light, stands a temple.
Inside the temple is a statue dressed in a red Daoist robe, holding a whisk.
"Buzz~"
The statue suddenly came to life, gazing into the distance.
Blood Spirit Venerable made a calculation with his fingers, and suddenly a flame appeared at his fingertips.
"Hmm?" Blood Spirit Venerable wiped the flames with a whisk, but the flames still leaped ten times before the backlash disappeared.
"Is it related to the Spirit-Suppressing Underground Palace? Has it been discovered?"
"No," Blood Spirit Venerable shook his head, "It's not the power of the Creation Compass."
The backlash seems immense and of a very high level.
But the person at the source is very weak, like an ant, making it difficult to see clearly.
"An ant crawled onto the edge of the chessboard and lifted a stone billions of times its own weight?" Blood Spirit Venerable murmured. "Interesting. Why didn't it just drop it onto the chessboard?"
"Everything that has been done leaves a trace. Let's calculate again." The Blood Spirit Venerable calculated again, but found that his deduction spell was not valid.
Flames erupted from his fingers again.
What would be a fatal backlash for Liang Ruohai was merely a matter of his finger catching fire for the Blood Spirit Venerable.
"Whoosh~" The flames were extinguished again, and the Blood Spirit Venerable looked at his fingertips thoughtfully.
The stones were nowhere to be seen, nor were the ants.
But the traces left by the ants gave him a faint sense of familiarity.
"Who could it be?" Blood Spirit Venerable murmured to himself.
Zhao Xing had no idea that his casual use of the Heaven's Mandate Like a Blade had brought Liang Ruohai to the brink of death.
It's unclear why the Blood Spirit Venerable, on a whim, actually did some calculations specifically for him.
However, his previous protective measures were very thorough, preventing the Blood Spirit Venerable from obtaining any useful information.
At this time, Zhao Xing had already left Heavenly Gate.
It appeared in the Cloudsea.
Zhao Xing flew back to the Qilin Flying Boat, seemingly lost in thought.
Long Xiao is already on the flying boat.
"Why did you come out so early?" Long Xiao asked.
"My resolve is firm, I am not tempted, and my goal is very clear," Zhao Xing said. He was aiming for the Five Finger Heavenly Mandate breakthrough, so he naturally did not waste any time.
Zhao Xing sized up Long Xiao: "You're something else, arriving late but leaving early."
When Zhao Xing's Straw Man Clone led Murong Xue and Ji Ziyun to the scene, Long Xiao and the Mountain Cat were still absorbing nutrients in the Lingxiu Hot Spring.
When Ji Ziyun finished absorbing the energy, Zhao Xing found the location of the Heavenly Gate.
Long Xiao had already set off and was on his way to the Cloud Gate’s Thirty-Six Strange Peaks.
At the seventh quarter of the Heavenly Gate opened, and Long Xiao arrived at the second quarter of the hour of Chen (7-9 AM), where he saw the Straw Man Clone that Zhao Xing had left on the flying boat.
I arrived half an hour late; I never expected them to come out so early.
Long Xiao said arrogantly, "Hmph, you think you're the only one with a firm Dao heart? Old Chen and I, weren't we both killed our way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood?"
"Cloud Soaring Marquis is awesome!" Zhao Xing gave a thumbs up. "How was your harvest?"
"The Slaughter Sword Art is now fully mastered, and I've even created a new sword technique of my own." Long Xiao couldn't wait to show it off. "Come, let me demonstrate."
"Great!" Zhao Xing agreed enthusiastically.
"Look behind you." Long Xiao gestured for Zhao Xing to turn around.
Zhao Xing turned his head and saw that three cloud-white phantom swords had appeared behind him at some point.
"This..." Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised, "It's the Divine Firmament Sword Art?!"
At this point, Long Xiao's sword control technique was already very similar to the version he had seen in his previous life.
Although it is still very immature, it has completely broken away from the incomplete version of "Slaughter Sword Art" and created its own path!
"Hey? Divine Firmament Sword Art? That's a nice name, very imposing," Long Xiao said. "I just created it and haven't named it yet... Hmm, I'll use this name."
Long Xiao's previous sword technique was an incomplete sword technique obtained from an ancient tomb, called "Slaughter Sword Method". It included the Geng Metal Sword Control Style, the Sword Qi Condensation Method, and four killing moves.
However, this is an incomplete version. The sword technique that Long Xiao is using now is the one that truly belongs to him.
"In this life, I named the Divine Firmament Sword Art?" Zhao Xing was taken aback, feeling a strange sense of wonder.
"Hey, you know what, that Heavenly Gate is really strange. There are so many swords flying around there, and each one seems to be ten or a hundred times stronger than the Slaughter Sword Art." Long Xiao controlled the cloud-white phantom sword as it moved. "I wonder if Xia and Ji can resist the temptation."
"It should be possible," Zhao Xing, looking towards the location of the Heavenly Gate.
He could no longer see it at this point, because each person could only enter once, and then they could no longer see it.
Moreover, everyone sees something different when they enter; Zhao Xing is in the starry sky, while Long Xiao is in a sword pavilion.
These are all scenes derived from the Dharma that one most desires to understand in one's heart.
Two more hours passed.
At the beginning of the Si hour, Chen Shijie was the third to emerge.
"Old Chen, how was the haul?"
Chen Shijie smiled and said, "It's alright. I already have nine high-level techniques, one of which has broken through to the Seventh-Turn, and the rest have all been partially mastered."
"Wow, that's amazing!" Long Xiao's eyes widened. "You've improved a lot! And you call that 'not bad'? You're really strong!"
"Isn't he waiting for you to praise him? You shouldn't have asked," Zhao Xing laughed.
Old Chen's advanced techniques did not reach perfection, but there were some changes in quantity, with a relatively even improvement.
However, this is ultimately a personal choice.
Chen Shijie himself was a well-rounded Military Sima Nong.
"Zhao Xing, what about you?" Chen Shijie asked. "Tell me, and I'll give you a few chances to show off."
"Me? I'm just average," Zhao Xing said. "I've only mastered Three High-Ranked Spells."
"Damn!" Long Xiao's eyes widened. "So you're the one who reaped the biggest rewards!"
"Three gates, perfect?" Chen Shijie was also surprised.
How difficult it is to perfect a high-level Dharma!
It is quite rare for Sixth Rank to master a high-level technique.
It is extremely rare for Sixth Rank cultivator to master a high-level, perfect spell.
Many Fifth Grade may not have mastered high-level techniques at the perfect level.
"I'm an exception, I'm just lucky," Zhao Xing said.
They were definitely lucky.
Because the most suitable magic for studying within the Heavenly Gate is the one related to destiny!
No other spells or martial arts techniques have such an exaggerated improvement!
The Grotto-Heaven bears the cost of deduction and infinitely amplifies deduction capabilities, naturally resulting in a huge improvement.
Such a thing only occurs when Grotto-Heaven is elevated to a higher level, naturally forming the Daoist Heavenly Gate.
You might not encounter such an opportunity even once in thousands or tens of thousands of years.
As for the third spell, it is [Instant Primordial].
This advanced technique, a high-level technique of the True Self Faction, has also been fully activated.
Because the casting of the [Instant Primordial] spell is inherently well-suited to being comprehended within the Heavenly Gate.
When Zhao Xing released the Instant Primordial, the inner world of the plants he saw was remarkably similar to the starry sky in the Heavenly Gate.
As for other spells, they have all been slightly improved, but the most important ones are still the three: [Heaven's Mandate Like a Blade], [Heaven's Mandate Profound Concealment], and [Instant Primordial].
At the end of the Si hour, Xia Jing also appeared in the Cloudsea.
"How was it, Your Heir Apparent? How was the harvest?" Long Xiao asked curiously. Xia Jing was also Martial Man, and he was quite concerned about the improvement of the Martial Man profession.
"Sigh." Xia Jing sighed.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Xing asked curiously. "Did you waste your time inside?"
"No, I feel like I've misunderstood," Xia Jing said. "I mastered the Gluttony Art and the Black Tortoise Shield inside."
"The Gluttony Art has seven levels, and the Black Tortoise Shield Nine Turns."
"But the problem is, neither of these are my majors."
"Damn it!" Long Xiao said angrily, "The ways you guys show off are all so unique."
"Beat him up!" Zhao Xing couldn't hold back any longer and joined Long Xiao in beating up Xia Jing.
However, at this moment, a faint earthy yellow light appeared on Xia Jing's body.
The punches from Long Xiao and Zhao Xing didn't hurt him at all; he didn't even flinch.
"Two heroes, spare my life!" Xia Jing smiled slightly. "You hit me too hard, hahaha."
Ridicule, blatant ridicule.
But Xia Jing has that ability now.
"Damn it, Your Heir Apparent, you look so irritating right now."
"You actually sighed? And you even mocked us." Zhao Xing was also furious.
"He cultivates the Gluttony Art internally and the Black Tortoise Shield externally; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him invincible at the Sixth Rank now," Chen Shijie laughed. "You guys should stop tickling him."
"Unfortunately, my Azure Dragon Transformation Art hasn't improved much." Xia Jing was happy, but still somewhat regretful. "Now my defense is formidable, but my attack might not be considered invincible at the Sixth Rank."
At noon, Ji Ziyun also came out.
He has also made great progress, but compared to Zhao Xing, Xia Jing and the other three, Ji Ziyun's progress is slightly less.
Because he was lured by what was inside and spent time studying some 'false' spells.
In the end, Ji Ziyun only mastered two advanced spells, and even then, she was only at the Third-Turn level.
Very few people can resist the slightest temptation within the Heavenly Gate, fully seize the opportunity, and maximize their gains.
Ji Ziyun's level of achievement is what we would call a normal harvest.
"Now only Heaven Defier is left." Long Xiao looked around. "Why hasn't it come out yet?"
"They might be confused," Ji Ziyun said. "The intelligence of strange beasts may not be able to comprehend the Great Dao."
"Won't the Mountain Cat be tempted by the food inside?" Xia Jing asked with a smile.
"Maybe all he sees in there are fish," Zhao Xing, staring at Xia Jing.
"What are you looking at? I am no longer afraid of Heir Apparent," Xia Jing said.
"Oh? Then I'll be your logistics manager next time, and help you grow some Numbfish Fruit."
"Gulp~" Xia Jing's throat bobbed, and his body trembled. "Never mind, Brother Zhao, I was just kidding."
"Hahaha."
The five of them then waited on the airship for the Mountain Cat to return.
In this era, there are few cultivation methods for mythical beasts; they rely purely on their innate bloodline talents.
However, many mythical beasts have stronger physical bodies and bloodline talents than Human Race, so each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Zhao Xing didn't know whether the strange beast entering the Heavenly Gate would have any effect.
However, he knew that in the era of Spiritual Energy Revival, the intelligence of strange beasts had increased, enabling them to cultivate and comprehend the Dao on a large scale, and that a new "race" called the Demon Race had also emerged.
At the same time, many cultivation methods for the Demon Race emerged.
At noon, the Heavenly Gate closed, and Heaven Defier meowed in the clouds.
"Meow~"
Thunder flashed in the Cloudsea.
Aotian Meow walked gracefully through the lightning with cat-like steps, as if the lightning were real.
"Hmm? There really is a change?" Ji Ziyun felt extremely surprised. Enlightenment through the Heavenly Gate should not have much effect on strange beasts, but the Mountain Cat seemed to have made great progress.
"Wow, that's impressive." Xia Jing looked at the Mountain Cat in amazement. "Controlling thunder, that's quite a talent."
"The Mountain Cat is Spiritual Elegance Variant, and it was nurtured by the mountain god, so it seems that its intelligence is much stronger than that of ordinary beasts." Zhao Xing also somewhat surprised.
"Hahaha, Heaven Defier is really clever." Long Xiao laughed as he launched his flying boat and headed over.
"Meow~" the Mountain Cat meowed, jumped onto the boat, and licked its paws to indicate that it was hungry.
Zhao Xing waved his hand, and the Wen Bamboo cabin opened, with food items falling in front of the Mountain Cat, piling up like a mountain.
"Meow!" The Mountain Cat perked up its ears, ran over quickly, and started eating.
After feeding Aotian Meow, Zhao Xing said, "Old Chen, Long Xiao, come with me."
He led the two of them on a journey through the thirty-six unique peaks, stopping frequently to make arrangements.
"Are you planning to destroy Qifeng?" Chen Shijie asked.
"Hmm." Zhao Xing nodded. "Over the next few days, the effect of the Heavenly Gate will gradually weaken, but others may still be able to see the portal."
"What a pity," Long Xiao said.
"What's a pity?" Zhao Xing asked in surprise, "Long Xiao, you don't naively think it should be left to someone else, do you?"
"No, I was just remarking." Long Xiao shook his head. "If everyone gets stronger, and the competitors become stronger, it won't do us any good."
Zhao Xing said, "Everyone else could be our potential enemy. We can't leave the benefits to our enemies."
"Furthermore, there are some things I did inside that I can't let anyone know about, not even if there's the slightest chance of something happening to me."
Chen Shijie said worriedly, "Now many places have set up Forget Sorrow Stele, which may lead to a bloodbath."
Zhao Xing took out the Earth Mirror and looked at it. "Some areas don't even have Forget Sorrow Stele, but they don't prohibit fighting either. They're specifically arranged for the scions of Noble Families."
Long Xiao asked, puzzled, "Why did the imperial court arrange things this way? Aren't they afraid that those Noble Families will continue the hatred after they leave?"
Zhao Xing said calmly, "There are too many ancient and powerful Noble Families. Why should they be so amicable to each other? Are they trying to rebel by uniting together?"
"Even if we take a step back and assume that this didn't happen, families that were destined to be enemies would still be enemies, and families that were destined to unite would still unite."
"When a family becomes a thousand-year-old Noble Families, personal feelings can be ignored; interests are the only fundamental factor."
"That makes sense," Chen Shijie said. "In the eleventh year of the Jingxin Calendar, when I first arrived in Nanyang County, there was a conflict between the powerful families of the Yang Clan and Liu Clan. The two families fought each other and even killed several members of their families."
"Fifteen years later, another woman from the Yang Clan married into the Liu Clan, because the two families needed to cooperate in developing a road."
"If this is the case for county-level clans, then what about those Noble Families that have existed for thousands of years?"
"It's the same between countries. Yesterday they formed an alliance and sent hostages to each other, but tomorrow they might tear up the alliance, kill the hostages as a sacrifice, and the day after tomorrow they'll make peace again and send more hostages over."
"A bustling crowd, people coming and going for profit." Zhao Xing stamped his foot, and golden magical Golden Light disappeared into the ground. "Enough of this, Old Chen, Long Xiao, let's get started."
"Good."
"Boom!"
The Cloud Gate’s Thirty-Six Strange Peaks were rotating in the Cloudsea when suddenly four of them began to tremble violently.
Rocks tumbled down the mountain, and a large amount of water poured from the mountain peak into the Abyss below.
The temperature on the four Sky Islands rose sharply.
"Swish, swish, swish~"
Three figures swiftly left the mountain and piloted their flying boats away.
Soon after, the four mountain peaks either exploded or collapsed.
Of the original thirty-six peaks, only thirty-two remained, reverting to their ordinary appearance and losing all their mystique.
Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie first drained the water veins in the mountains, and then used Volcano Art to continuously create volcanoes on the four peaks.
In a short period of time, it caused the four mountain peaks in the sky to experience a level seven Earth Vein frenzy.
These mountains originally had no foundation and floated in the sky. Now that the Earth Vein have been destroyed, they can be easily destroyed.
"We've killed four future Spirit Mountain," Chen Shijie said, watching the explosion ahead.
If left untouched, these mountains could potentially become Spirit Mountain in the future!
"It's better for the mountain to die than for me to die," Zhao Xing said. "Let's go, stop reminiscing."
"Where to next?" Xia Jing asked, having habitually sought Zhao Xing's opinion.
"We can't stay in the Inverted Peak Mountain Range any longer," Zhao Xing said. "The Military Realm has already started large-scale land grabbing here, and I don't want to get involved in the fighting for the time being."
"Both the Eternal Night Sea and Pengli Marsh. Let me calculate first." Zhao Xing used his five fingers to calculate, combined with the Great Evolution Qi Observation Art, to observe the pillars of the four people's fortune. He would go to whichever direction was better first.
There's one more chapter, but it's getting late, so don't stay up too late.
