The Heaven Derivation King's Shock, Record-Breaking Cultivation Speed!
"Learn it in three years? If you can't, you'll abandon your Official Rank and dedicate yourself to the Time Law? Zhao Xing, you're underestimating the top-tier Time Law." Even the usually composed Heng Yuan frowned upon hearing this. Zhao Xing's words were overly confident, bordering on arrogant!
It should be noted that mastering a top-level technique within five years is already extremely rare, and those who master it within five years can be considered to possess top-level comprehension! Mastering it within three years? That's even more difficult; you can basically find their names in history books.
"The cultivation of top-tier techniques, even for Third Grade, takes an average of over fifteen years to learn!" "Moreover, you are not even at the Third-Rank Yuan Soul yet."
"Enlightenment and the Dao are both related to Fate Soul; how dare you utter such arrogant words?"
Heng Yuan, as Classics Scholar at the Mystic Heaven Academy, was very clear about these data.
At this moment, he felt that Zhao Xing simply didn't want to go, which was why he said those words, and even thought that Zhao Xing was belittling the Time Law. Why did Heng Yuan think this way?
Even if we assume Zhao Xing is a top genius, there's still a prerequisite: he must send a clone to study the comprehension!
The Ten Thousand Laws Clone has many limitations.
Since the clone does not contain a complete Fate Soul, the effect of comprehending it will be greatly reduced.
For example, Zhao Xing is currently at the level of "Hundred Laws Body". If his clone tries to comprehend it, the effect may only be one percent to one-tenth of that of the main body. It's like a normal person who normally walks and reads with two eyes, suddenly losing one eye and a leg.
Naturally, one cannot walk fast and see clearly.
An avatar is, after all, just an avatar; it can't possibly have the same effect as the original. This is especially true in terms of comprehension, because enlightenment primarily involves the soul's perception!
If it were Sima Yunhai here, he would probably be overjoyed and immediately take out a contract to sign these conditions with Zhao Xing.
If Zhao Xing fails to do so within three years, he will have to truly join the Mystic Heaven Academy and completely sever ties with the other two factions. Only then can he avenge Liu Tianning for bewitching his junior brother.
"Please don't misunderstand, Mr. Hengda. I have never looked down on the principles of Heavenly Timing," Zhao Xing said calmly. "nor was I joking or trying to tease you two." "Prove it to me," Heng Yuan, somewhat annoyed. This Zhao Xing was still talking nonsense? Who knows more, you or me?
Zhao Xing nodded, rose from his desk, and went into the hall. He pointed to the ground.
"Buzz~"
The surrounding tables and desks immediately began to shake.
At the same time, specks of starlight emerged from the ground and clung to Heng Yuan and Geng Shouchang's bodies. "Hmm?" Heng Yuan's eyes twitched slightly, because he felt a pulling force.
This force was trying to drain his life force.
Geng Shouchang's eyes lit up. "The Yuan-Draining Underground Palace Art? No, it's far less powerful than the Yuan-Draining Underground Palace Art. However, it already possesses the rudiments of a top-tier technique."
Zhao Xing used the Eleventh-Turn spell of the Boundless Earth Palace, [Boundless Starlight]. It could counteract the effects of the Yuan-Draining Underground Palace, and naturally, like the Yuan-Draining Underground Palace, it could also absorb the vital energy from a person's body. Of course, its power was far less than that of the spell used by Gu Changqing, probably only First-Turn -tenth the power of a top-tier first-level spell.
However, in terms of the essence of the spell alone, this has already surpassed the level of a perfect high-level spell. Moreover, this miraculous effect is something that high-level spells do not possess.
"Why are you using your Earthly Advantage Method in front of us?" Heng Yuan asked. Geng Shouchang stopped Heng Yuan and said, "Let's hear what he has to say."
Zhao Xing cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, and then unleashed another Golden Light of magic towards the ground. "Buzz~"
Then, the teacups, utensils, and documents in the living room silently turned to dust. The twelfth turn, the Boundless Vortex!
"Please enlighten me, gentlemen."
As soon as Zhao Xing finished speaking, the shattering force enveloped Heng Yuan and Geng Shouchang. A wisp of lightning crackled across Geng Shouchang's body, while a gentle breeze rippled through Heng Yuan's body.
The two simultaneously unleashed top-tier spells, easily neutralizing Zhao Xing's magic. "Not bad, it's very close to top-tier spells," Geng Shouchang commented.
Even Heng Yuan nodded in agreement.
Because Zhao Xing's second Earthly Advantage Method," is a step above the previous one. Given time and further refinement, it could very well become a new top-tier technique. For someone only at the Fifth Grade to have achieved such a feat is truly remarkable.
However, Heng Yuan still didn't understand what Zhao Xing was trying to prove.
However, what he heard next completely shocked him.
"My lords," Zhao Xing said, "It only took me two months to create these two spells." Silence fell over the hall as Heng Yuan and Geng Shouchang stared at the young man below.
He stood in the center of a cloud of dust, his calm words striking like a meteorite into their hearts, unleashing a tidal wave. After a long pause, Geng Shouchang finally remembered something. "Did you achieve this in the first level of the Azure Sea Grotto Heaven?"
"Exactly."
Geng Shouchang suddenly realized why Meng Kun was willing to fight him outside the door to win over Zhao Xing. Such insight was simply astonishing!
"This..." Heng Yuan could no longer hold back, "You had no one to teach you, and you comprehended these two techniques by observing Gu Changqing's Yuan-Draining Underground Palace Art all by yourself?" Having someone to teach you and not having someone to teach you are two completely different concepts.
Magic is unlike physical objects; even Divine Soldier and puppets can be disassembled and deduced to understand their intricacies. The idea that someone could comprehend magic simply by observing it seemed utterly unreal to Heng Yuan. To be able to apply knowledge to new situations and learn without a teacher—could such astonishing talent truly exist in the world?
"My understanding of the Time Law is no less than that of the Earthly Advantage Method," Zhao Xing said. "Lord Heng, if I looked down on the Time Law, why would I have devoted myself to its Ascetic Practice?" "I misunderstood you," Heng Yuan cupped his hands in greeting, he was truly speechless.
They really have that talent!
Geng Shouchang felt very sorry. Zhao Xing had such talent; if he had focused on the Celestial Timing Art, how wonderful it would have been! Unfortunately, the greater the talent, the greater the ambition.
"I will help you resolve your matter of going to the academy as soon as possible," Geng Shouchang said. "Cultivating three schools simultaneously is destined to be a tortuous and difficult path. You will face many doubts and criticisms. If you fail in three years, you can reconsider your future direction." "Yes, thank you, Lord Geng," Zhao Xing cupped his hands in thanks.
He knew, of course, that it wouldn't be easy. To unify the three factions and become the leader of all the Agricultural Official was extremely difficult. The prejudices between the factions were deeply rooted, and it wasn't simply a matter of having talent.
Even if Zhao Xing is exceptionally talented, it will be difficult for him to gain recognition, or at least not complete recognition, if he is not from his own faction. Factional disputes are not unique to the Agricultural Official profession; they also exist among martial artists.
For example, among martial artists, there are Sword Sect Qi Sect. Which one is the orthodox school, and which one represents the true path?
Because of this, the two factions have engaged in numerous "Great Dao Contention," resulting in the deaths of many people each year in these disputes over orthodoxy.
Geng Shouchang Heng Yuan are relatively easy to talk to, but once he uses his Ten Thousand Laws Clone to go to the Mystic Heaven Academy, he will likely face a lot of skepticism. Heng Yuan and Geng Shouchang left.
Geng Shouchang arrived in high spirits, but left somewhat disheartened. Although he had successfully recruited Zhao Xing into the Time Faction, he had only managed to bring in a clone. Getting Zhao Xing into the sect was no easy feat and would require him to withstand considerable pressure. The main reason was that Zhao Xing's journey involved the inheritance of a top-tier technique.
Under the highest level of legal expertise, one can learn anything.
Because the Great Zhou government had already collected low, medium, and high-level techniques and promoted them for free, top-level techniques were not something that could be learned casually. "Brother Heng, I have a request," Geng Shouchang transmitted his voice.
"Brother Geng, please speak."
"Please do not tell Sima Yunhai about today's events, especially Zhao Xing's demonstration of the Earth Palace Art."
Upon hearing this, Heng Yuan nodded. "Don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut."
If Zhao Xing's talent were revealed to Sima Yunhai, Sima Yunhai would likely be an opponent rather than a recommender.
Because this guy wasn't genuinely recommending it; he just wanted to get revenge on Liu Tianning.
Thank you.
As soon as the two stepped out, Meng Kun and Yuan Changqing immediately raised their heads.
Upon seeing the expressions on Geng Shouchang's and Heng Yuan's faces, Meng Kun immediately burst into laughter.
He noticed that the two seemed a bit off, while Zhao Xing smiled and invited them in.
That means they still have plenty of opportunities! "Changqing, let's go in."
Meng Kun and Gu Changqing quickly flew inside.
When Xiao Ming served the second round of tea, he found that the living room in the Listening Rain Pavilion was in a mess.
He didn't dare say anything more, much less tell Zhao Xing that he had "damaged the Post House's public property."
He simply sent a minor official to inquire whether Zhao Xing needed to clean up and rearrange the place.
"Go and tell Lord Jian to repair it again. I will compensate for any damage," Zhao Xing said.
"Yes." The clerk obediently withdrew.
He then cupped his hands in apology to Meng Kun and Gu Changqing, saying, "I'm really sorry, there was an accident just now. Please wait a moment, gentlemen."
He couldn't very well lead the person to a side room for a talk.
Why is it that Time Faction, you make them sit in the main hall, but when it comes to us from Earthly Advantage Faction, we're relegated to the side hall? Who do you think you are!
However, Meng Kun and Gu Changqing didn't care about these trivial matters at all.
Seeing that someone was cleaning the main hall, Meng Kun decided not to go in.
Pointing to the grass outside, he immediately sculpted three tables and stone stools out of mud.
Meng Kun was delighted and immediately pulled Gu Changqing to sit down, then beckoned Zhao Xing over.
As soon as he sat down, Meng Kun spoke:
"Zhao Xing, join Kunyuan Academy!"
"I can arrange for you to become Classics Scholar, and you'll receive 300 million in scholarships annually!" "Furthermore, my Kunyuan Academy possesses the most blessed lands and Spirit Mountain!"
"Classics Scholar have the opportunity to go to these places for intensive study every year!"
"You can learn the best law at will. I guarantee you will have three teachers every year, each of whom will dedicate a month to teaching you."
Meng Kun immediately pulled out all the stops, talking about all the specific benefits, and he even had a teacher in mind, just waiting for Zhao Xing to arrive.
Unlike Heng Yuan Geng Shouchang, Meng Kun knew about Zhao Xing's talent long ago, because the two spells Zhao Xing comprehended were based on the Yuan-Draining Underground Palace set up by Gu Changqing.
In just two months, he mastered two near-top-tier spells without a teacher? Of course Meng Kun was willing to snatch him away!
Seeing how down-to-earth Meng Kun and Gu Changqing were, Zhao Xing didn't beat around the bush and nodded directly. "Thank you both, I'm willing to go." Meng Kun and Gu Changqing were taken aback. They agreed so readily?
They originally thought it would take some effort.
"However, I have a difficult matter to discuss, and I need to consult with the two gentlemen beforehand," Zhao Xing said.
"Go ahead," Meng Kun said. "What's the problem? As long as it's something we can solve, we'll do our best to help you." "In recent years, I've only sent my Ten Thousand Laws Clone."
After Zhao Xing finished speaking, Meng Kun and Gu Changqing were immediately taken aback. So that's what they were waiting for.
No wonder you agreed so easily.
No wonder Heng Yuan and Geng Shouchang looked so uncomfortable.
"You also agreed to Old Man Geng's request?" Gu Changqing asked. "Are you also going to send a clone to the Mystic Heaven Academy?" "Yes."
Meng Kun and Gu Changqing were immediately met with a cold shower.
If that's the case, then recruiting Zhao Xing would be much less meaningful.
"Do you really have that much energy?" Gu Changqing asked. "Perhaps I should reconsider."
"Gentlemen, you can give me three years," Zhao Xing said. "If I truly achieve nothing within three years, I am willing to give up all other paths and Official Rank and concentrate on studying the Earthly Advantage Method." "Very well, let you give it a try!" Meng Kun was more decisive.
Three years isn't a long time. If Zhao Xing doesn't achieve anything significant within three years, he'll naturally realize it's not going to work and change his mind. It's just a waste of three years anyway, and Zhao Xing is still young; it won't be a problem at all.
The sectarianism of the Earthly Advantage Faction School is not so severe, because the Earthly Advantage Faction's classic, "Houtu Return to Origin," describes how the condensed Houtu Gravel eventually evolved into "Pure Origin Soil." However, the process of condensation and the creation of Pure Yuan Space require the refined study of the Yin Yang True Self Scripture Jing of the True Self Faction.
The relationship between the Earthly Advantage Faction and True Self Faction is inseparable.
Their rejection of the True Self Faction was not severe; they were simply worried that Zhao Xing would waste his energy.
"The conditions I just offered remain unchanged," Meng Kun said with a smile. "However, you'll still need to have time to come and collect those resources." "Thank you, Lord Meng."
"When can you set off?"
"Now." Zhao Xing swayed, a shadow appeared behind him, and then a clone appeared. This was one of his nine strongest clones.
"Alright, then this clone of yours will come with me," Meng Kun said. "We need to return to the Kunyuan Academy in a month."
Meng Kun was decisive; he took Zhao Xing's clone and left with Gu Changqing.
After Meng Kun and Gu Changqing left, Long Xiao came out from the backyard. "Finished talking?"
"Mm." Zhao Xing nodded.
"Are you going to become a teacher at the academy?" Long Xiao asked. "I'm just sending a clone."
"Then where does your true self reside?" Long Xiao asked curiously. "Your true self is what takes up the most of your energy. Both academies invited you, but your true self didn't move. Do you have a better place to go?" "Yes," Zhao Xing smiled, "But this involves confidentiality regulations, so I can't tell you."
My true self is, of course, focused on studying the "Derivation God Art".
As for Official Rank, it would be best to stay in Chongming Prefecture and find a leisurely position to coast through life.
If the main body cultivates the Derivation God Art and achieves success, the clone will also be stronger and able to comprehend the law faster. Zhao Xing said that he would comprehend the law within three years, and his main confidence came from the Derivation God Art.
Once Derivation God Art, his speed of comprehending the technique will also break through.
"Alright, then I won't stay any longer," Long Xiao said. Zhao Xing was working so hard that Long Xiao felt a little embarrassed to stay any longer.
"Are you coming home for the New Year this year?" Zhao Xing asked. "You've made quite a bit of money at your estate in Dongyang. You should come back and visit. The people in the estate haven't seen you, sir, for years." "How much profit can a few estates possibly generate? You keep it," Long Xiao said.
"Okay, thank you then. I'll keep the twenty million."
"Huh... what? How much?!" Long Xiao almost thought he had misheard. "Twenty million," Zhao Xing repeated.
Long Xiao's eyes widened. "How can there be so much? Where did my estates get so much revenue?" Zhao Xing shrugged and said, "It's been ten years. Is earning twenty million a lot?"
Long Xiao exclaimed excitedly, "A lot? Of course there's a lot! Damn, what did you do?!"
Zhao Xing said, "You only remember that I am the Military Sima Nong, right? Have you forgotten that the Grand Minister of Agriculture is in charge of the finances?"
"The Grand Minister of Agriculture Inner Treasury, the Sovereign Treasury Dihou Treasury, the Yuan Feng Treasury, the Yuanfeng Cloth Treasury, the Miscellaneous Goods Treasury Warehouse, the Tea Treasury, the Miscellaneous Grain Supplies Office, the Audit Bureau, the Miscellaneous Purchasing Office, the Miscellaneous Sales Market Pawn Office, the Exchange Certificate Treasury, the Pawnshop, the Medicinal Blending Bureau, the Benevolence Bureau, the Shops and Residences Office, the Coal Yard..." "I aspire to be the Grand Minister of Agriculture; how could I not even know how to make money?"
"I've just casually managed things for you over the past ten years, and I've already made 20 million."
"Old Chen's estates are about the same. He made a fortune selling medicinal herbs just a couple of years ago. But forget it, you wouldn't understand anyway. In short, you have 20 million in your account from ten years ago until now, and it's all liquid capital." "Is it too late for me to change careers?" Long Xiao asked.
"Haha, are you going to use your Seven Stars Divine Sword to remove the weeds?"
Long Xiao: "..."
It took Long Xiao a while to accept this fact. "Keep this money for me for now."
"Okay." Zhao Xing nodded. "The Bai Family's money is Bai Family; I'll save some of your own money for you." "Good brother!"
The Autumn Equinox was on the 22nd day of the ninth month of the 30th year of the Jingxin Calendar.
Half a month ago, Zhao Xing met with Fan Hongyi, the prefect of Chongming Prefecture, and Wang Xuanyi, expressing his desire for a leisurely position. Fan Hongyi and Wang Xuanyi readily agreed, and so after the Autumn Equinox, he completed the transfer.
He was transferred from the Twin Dragon Horse Bureau back to Chongming Prefecture, and entered the Agricultural Supervisorate in the prefecture Community God Hall, serving as the head of the Sheshen Temple, a Fifth Grade official. Sheshen refers to the god of the land, and the head of the Community God Hall was an official department that combined the Agricultural Supervisorate and the temple.
The position could be held by either the Agricultural Official or a priest. The main duties were to travel to various regions during spring planting and autumn harvest to perform rituals and pray to the land gods for favorable weather and Favorable Weather. Many Agricultural Official believed in relying on the heavens for their livelihood, and that there were unseen Earth God gods and seasonal deities protecting the Nineteen Provinces.
The idea of "human will can conquer nature," as Zhao Xing believed, was generally held by Military Sima Nong. The head of the Community God Hall was mainly in charge of Agrarian School rituals.
For example, during the spring planting season each year, officials at all levels would go to the government's public fields to cultivate the land, setting an example and encouraging farmers. During this time, altars would be set up, sacrifices would be offered, and some magical rituals would be performed. Afterwards, a report on the Bumper Harvest would be submitted, indicating that Heaven had responded to their prayers. This process was handled by the head of the Community God Hall.
In addition, Spirit Mountain opening and closing of Lingshan Mountain in the prefectural city are also handled by the head of the Community God Hall.
There was once a ceremony held at East Lake Spirit Mountain in Donghu, Nanyang County, where Agricultural Supervisorate came to perform a Mountain Opening Method, which was actually a sacrifice to the God of the Land. There were also other related activities for the Spring She Day.
Of course, this position may seem like it involves a lot of work, but in reality, it involves very little.
Because there are only three busy periods in a year: the Spring She Day, spring planting, and autumn harvest.
The Spirit Mountain at the prefectural level are basically "closed for a major period," meaning they only open once every ten, thirty, or fifty years. This position doesn't offer much in terms of lucrative rewards, but it's also quite leisurely.
Being assigned to this position is basically a way to retire comfortably.
Zhao Xing, a talented Agricultural Official with a bright future, surprisingly chose to become the head of the Community God Hall, which puzzled many people. Yin Qiquan, in particular, was extremely perplexed.
He finally managed to get Qi Ming appointed as the magistrate of Gemini County last year. But this year Zhao Xing was transferred, and to such a place.
The difficulty of assassinating Zhao Xing has increased dramatically! It's practically impossible.
He reported this matter to the Blood Spirit Venerable.
When the Blood Spirit Venerable found out, he was speechless.
He was planning an assassination, but Zhao Xing retreated to the prefectural city, right under the nose of the Yin Spirit.
"It feels like he knows someone wants to harm him," Blood Spirit Venerable with some doubt. "Never mind, we'll find another opportunity. He'll eventually come out." A talent like Zhao Xing can't stay in a leisurely position forever; he'll have to be transferred sooner or later.
Chen Shijie was also transferred along with Zhao Xing.
Although the Community God Hall is relatively quiet, there are still quite a few things to do.
So when he was promoted, he casually brought Chen Shijie over to be the Right Head of the Community God Hall, to assist him. Chen Shijie was promoted again without even realizing it, and he is now a Fifth Grade Official Rank.
"So that's why you suddenly got promoted, and to such a different department. Turns out it was you who did it." Chen Shijie understood immediately upon seeing Zhao Xing. "Hehe, you must have been so bored on the island. You might as well have come back."
"Would we just be bored together when we get back?" Chen Shijie said. "You don't know the Spirit Invocation Method of Agricultural Official, and neither do I. What kind of officials are we?" "We can learn," Zhao Xing said. "You're Earthly Advantage Faction; how can you not respect the local gods?"
"Very well, then I'll learn it." Chen Shijie had never learned the method of Invoking the Gods Spirit Invocation Method, even though it was one of the important courses taught by the Military Sima Nong.
The main reason is that the Priest profession is too powerful, and the Great Zhou has raised many powerful Yin Spirit, so other professions all need to learn some spells to Invoking God Possession. On September 26th, Yue Xing once again entered the temple to receive the baptism of fortune.
However, this time we didn't go to the Heaven's Heart Palace, but to the Divine Beast Hall.
This baptism was entirely brought about by the Mountain Cat, the Azure Lion Dog, and the Spirit Illusion Goat.
Because of their outstanding performance in the Beast Competition, the Mountain Cat, the Azure Lion Dog, and the Spirit Illusion Goat were granted the special Official Rank of "Third Class Heavenly Blessing Official" and were also bestowed the title of Third Class Earl. This Official Rank was not a rank and had no real power or position.
However, the Nobility Title was real. The imperial court specially bestowed a piece of land upon the three war beasts and ordered the construction of the Hall Spring Palace for them, with Zhao Xing in charge of its supervision.
Zhao Xing glanced at the fortune bestowed upon him by the three war beasts. He had gained five years of lifespan, and according to the Five Finger Heavenly Mandate divination, his luck had also slightly improved. This increase was roughly equivalent to him being promoted one rank.
"You three, go with Long Xiao for some special training. Be good and listen to him. Later, I'll take you to the Dragon Court for some delicious food," Zhao Xing said. "Woof!" Three voices responded.
"Long Xiao, you'd better take good care of them for me. I'll need them when I enter the Dragon Court Ancient Land in ten years," Zhao Xing said. "Don't worry, I definitely won't mistreat the three of them," Long Xiao said with a grin. "Just you wait and see."
Chen Shijie laughed from the side, "He helps you save money, and you help him raise beasts. Neither of you loses out. It seems I also need to do more in this position of Right Manager."
"What, Gui Niang is also managing your money?"
"Get out of my way! Why bring up something I shouldn't have?" "Hahahaha."
On the seventh day of the tenth month of the thirtieth year of the Jingxin Calendar, Frost Descent.
Zhao Xing's true form arrived at the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and Star Palace in the Military Realm, preparing to cultivate the "Derivation God Art." "The first level, the Divine Soul Seven Stars Chart, you will begin with the Body Tempering Chapter."
Heaven Derivation King led Zhao Xing to a side hall of the Star Palace.
Inside the hall were seven pools, shrouded in mist, with countless medicinal herbs churning within. Zhao Xing sniffed the air; it was filled with the unpleasant odors of various herbs.
"The soul has three parts, and the spirit has seven parts. The first spirit is the Celestial Impact, the second is the Spirit Wisdom, the third is the Qi, the fourth is the Strength, the fifth is the Central Pivot, the sixth is the Essence, Seven Po is the Hero." "Each of these seven Body Tempering Pools contains tens of thousands of top-grade sixth-rank medicinal herbs."
"Enter the Qi Soul Pool and visualize the Divine Soul Seven Stars Chart. When all seven pools are dry, you will have completed the Body Tempering, and you will be at the peak of the Fourth Grade." "Yes." Zhao Xing immediately stripped naked and jumped into the pool.
The Seven Po of the physical body, and there is a specific order to Body Tempering.
The first pool Zhao Xing jumped into was the [Strength Soul] Pool. Strength Soul governs strength.
Completing the enhancement of Strength Soul means entering the early stage of the Fourth Grade rank. "Gurgle~"
Bubbles kept rising from the pool, and Zhao Xing suddenly felt his whole body become hot, his bones felt numb and itchy, and a burning sensation spread throughout his skin. He couldn't help but contemplate the Divine Soul Seven Stars Chart.
At the same time, a star lit up in the sky, and a beam of light enveloped Zhao Xing's body. In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhao Xing felt his body swell up.
The bones thickened, the flesh began to grow, and the whole person became "fat".
However, the starlight continued to shine on him, and he soon returned to his normal size.
During this contraction and expansion, Zhao Xing felt his golden bones become denser and his meridians more resilient. Half an hour later, Zhao Xing finished his cultivation of the Strength Soul Pool.
"Not bad, your foundation is very solid. The Body Tempering by the Agricultural Official is quite difficult, so you are relatively fast." Heaven Derivation King nodded. Zhao Xing then jumped into the second pool.
How could his foundation not be solid? He has consumed countless spiritual essences, and his golden bones have already reached a high level of maturity.
Normally, the physical strength of Agricultural Official is relatively weak, far inferior to that of a martial artist, so the Body Tempering is very difficult.
But Zhao Xing doesn't need to endure the trials at all in the Strength Soul Barrier. The second pool is the Qi Soul Pool.
Qi Soul governs vital energy, which is directly reflected in increasing the total amount of vital energy and enhancing the ability to sustain combat.
Before Zhao Xing cultivated his inner Qi Soul, he could cast seven spells in one breath. After the seventh spell, there was a pause where he needed to catch his breath. Masters could seize this opportunity during a duel.
Therefore, Zhao Xing always uses the Mist Concealment when fighting, because he needs to hide in the Mist Concealment to breathe.
But after completing the enhancement of his Qi Soul, he can cast seventy spells in one go without interruption.
"It took him more than two hours to cultivate his Qi Soul, and he even changed his medicinal bath once in between." Heaven Derivation King looked at the gradually drying medicinal pool. "He has cultivated Pure Origin Soil, and the total amount of Yuan Qi is also higher than that of ordinary people." After cultivating his Qi Soul, Zhao Xing's Pure Origin Soil broke through to level four!
The total area reaches 320,000 square meters. This is also a benefit of cultivating one's Qi Soul. Thump
Zhao Xing then jumped into the Essence Soul Pool and the Hero Soul Pool. The Essence Soul governs spiritual power, Hero Soul governs willpower.
Cultivating these two souls still strengthens the body, but the strengthening is not in terms of strength, but rather in terms of increasing resistance.
Training these two souls primarily strengthens the internal organs. Detoxification and cleansing functions are greatly enhanced; wounds heal faster; resistance to heat and cold is improved; and vitality becomes more robust. In gaming terms, training these two souls increases various resistance stats.
At the Heavenly Star Realm and Earth Fiend Realm, the elite two souls are actually enhanced, only this time in a more profound and comprehensive way. The subsequent Spirit Wisdom and Celestial Impact enhance magical comprehension, intelligence, and spiritual will.
The final stage, the Central Pivot Soul, involved a comprehensive enhancement. Zhao Xing spent a total of half a month training all Seven Po.
Two weeks later, Zhao Xing leaped out of the last pool. His whole body Golden Light, and his eyes were like lightning.
He has already reached the peak of the Fourth Grade rank!
"Not bad, your Body Tempering speed is very fast. Among this batch of thirty-eight people, you rank ninth." Heaven Derivation King appeared beside the pool. "Only ninth?" Zhao Xing was stunned.
"You're just the Agricultural Official, ranking ninth is already quite good, and you still want to be ranked first?" Heaven Derivation King chuckled, "How do you expect martial artists to feel?" The entry requirement for the Dragon Court Ancient Land is to bring a war beast, so it's not necessary to be a proper beast tamer to participate.
Zhao Xing guessed that many of these thirty-eight people were not proper beast tamers.
"Now you can begin Soul Tempering," Heaven Derivation King said slowly. "Body Tempering is easy, but Soul Tempering is very difficult."
"The Divine Soul Seven Stars Chart Body Tempering is merely the foundation of Soul Refining."
"Whether you can master the first level depends entirely on your talent; external assistance will have very little effect," Heaven Derivation King. Zhao Xing nodded; some spells and secret techniques simply cannot be aided by external forces.
No Preaching Painting or Dragon Soul Jade Pendant will do.
Because the Divine Soul Seven Stars Chart is essentially a Preaching Painting, its priority surpasses all external assistance. If one cannot comprehend the Divine Soul Seven Stars Chart, then nothing else will be effective.
The National Dynasty Luck Cleansing only elevates one's realm, not one's understanding of magic.
Of course, if one is at the Third-Rank Yuan Soul realm, cultivating the "Derivation God Art" will be slightly easier.
Because both his Fate Soul and physical body had become stronger, his understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth would naturally be easier. Heaven Derivation King led Zhao Xing to the four Law Wall.
There are two ways to comprehend the first level.
"The first is to directly comprehend the Law Wall; it's best if you can, as the risk is relatively low." "The second is the Mystic Rune Stars."
"Above the Star Platform, there are seven stars. Once you begin to comprehend them, your Fate Soul will revolve around these seven stars." Heaven Derivation King found a button next to the Law Wall and then gently pressed it.
"Boom!"
The seven stars suddenly emitted a beam of light, then quickly zoomed in until they filled Zhao Xing's entire field of vision.
Each star is surrounded by rings, with countless hidden patterns, symbols, and designs forming these rings. The surface of the planets is also etched with many ancient patterns.
It is exactly the same as the pattern on the first Law Wall.
"When you activate this button, your Fate Soul will unconsciously follow its rotation." "It's as if there are seven millstones in your mind, constantly grinding your soul." "If you can't take it, immediately press this button to stop cultivating."
Heaven Derivation King waved his hand, and a total of thirty-six cyan bottles appeared before them. "These are called Origin Soul Liquid, and each bottle contains thirty drops."
"The juice from the ' Origin Soul Grass,' Ninth Order plant from the Yin Realm, can repair your Fate Soul." "Thirty-six bottles will be enough for your cultivation for three years."
"Its quantity is extremely limited. If you haven't mastered the first level after using up all thirty-six bottles of Origin Soul Liquid, it means you cannot master this technique, and the Heavenly Mystery Hall will no longer provide it to you," Heaven Derivation King. "If you want to practice again, you'll need to reach the Third Grade." "Yes, I understand."
Cultivating the Derivation God Art carries a high risk of injury!
Origin Soul Liquid thus became an extremely precious auxiliary item.
It doesn't help with enlightenment; it can only repair injuries to the Fate Soul.
If the second method doesn't offer this treasure, it's easy to become an idiot.
"Be careful, and don't overexert yourself," Heaven Derivation King said sternly. "Even if you can't master it now, you'll still have a chance if you reach the Third Grade in the future." "Yes, I will be extremely careful."
After Heaven Derivation King left, Zhao Xing sat down cross-legged beside the Law Wall. At this moment, the seven stars were completely still.
Even so, Zhao Xing still felt somewhat dizzy when looking at those secret patterns. This dizziness wasn't caused by his body, but by his Fate Soul.
"First, study the patterns on the Law Wall."
Zhao Xing shifted his gaze to the patterns on the Law Wall.
In contrast, the patterns on the Law Wall are not as magical. Because they are rubbings, they lack some of the original spirit.
Zhao Xing visualized seven stars in his mind. The phantom images of the seven stars appeared in his Sea of Consciousness, their faint light shining on his Fate Soul. Zhao Xing felt a slight stinging sensation, and his instincts prompted him to end this meditation.
"Even just visualizing it brings this much pressure," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "No wonder it's the ultimate secret technique for the soul." "But thankfully, I've taken the Origin Spirit Fruit, so I can withstand it completely."
Zhao Xing put aside his distracting thoughts and began to focus on his cultivation.
After the first day, he had completely gotten used to the seven illusory stars shining in his mind. "The seven stars illuminating my Fate Soul are something my Fate Soul can easily withstand."
"This is thanks to my cultivation of the Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet, and the consumption of the Fate Soul Pill and the Origin Spirit Fruit," Zhao Xing thought to himself. The stinging sensation had disappeared, and he now felt warm all over.
It felt as if light was truly shining on my body.
"The first stage of cultivation is ' Sea of Consciousness Reflects Seven Stars '." "If the seven star images do not appear in the Sea of Consciousness during visualization..."
"If you can visualize it but can't withstand the illumination, then it's pointless. You can only try by using the mechanism on the Star Platform, which is the seven huge Mystic Rune Stars above your head." "However, this is quite dangerous."
Two-layer screening.
One way to gain enlightenment directly through rubbings of the Law Wall is to achieve the appearance of "Sea of Consciousness Reflects Seven Stars," and if Fate Soul can withstand it, then that proves one has talent.
Secondly, there's the Seven Stars Secret Pattern suspended in the sky, an even more dangerous training method, essentially direct combat, learning through actual battle. However, it's more likely to result in injury or even death. "Just bear with it a little longer." Although Zhao Xing felt he could give it a try, it was only the first day.
He chose to continue visualizing the seven-star pattern on the Law Wall. The ultimate goal of the first level was to Fate Soul Imprints Seven Stars.
There is a significant difference between "The Sea of Consciousness Reflects Seven Stars" and "The Fate Soul Imprints Seven Stars".
As time passed, Zhao Xing's true form remained on the Star Platform, contemplating the Seven Stars of the Law Wall. Half a month later, Zhao Xing ceased his contemplation.
At this moment, his Fate Soul underwent a significant change.
The twinkling starlight surrounded the Fate Soul, making it appear exceptionally bright.
"I can control my Ten Thousand Laws Clone with much more ease, and my Fate Soul has become more refined. If before, my avatars could only unleash 50% of my main body's power when casting spells, now I can unleash 55%." "My main body and avatars also have a clearer understanding of the Dao."
"Just grasping a little bit of it has such great benefits. It truly deserves to be called the ultimate technique." Zhao Xing looked up at the huge, Mystic Rune Stars in the sky.
"I can give it a try and imprint the Seven Stars on my Fate Soul." Zhao Xing took a deep breath and then turned on the switch.
"Boom!"
The seven stars immediately began to spin.
Noticing the commotion, Heaven Derivation King also appeared in the Star Palace, watching Zhao Xing from afar. "Why is he in such a hurry to start cultivating using the Secret Pattern Star?" Heaven Derivation King frowned. "It's only been half a month."
Heaven Derivation King felt that Zhao Xing was too impatient and should first try to comprehend the Law Wall.
"Still too young. Faced with the temptation of top-tier magic, it's easy to become restless and impetuous," Heaven Derivation King thought to himself. Boom!
The enormous Mystic Rune Stars all began to rotate. Zhao Xing gazed at these seven Mystic Rune Stars.
At that moment, his soul seemed to freeze.
The seven stars seemed to enter his Sea of Consciousness through his eyes.
The stars that originally existed in the Sea of Consciousness were no longer illusions, but had become real and dazzling.
"Boom~ Boom~"
Seven Mystic Rune Stars rolled in, rushing towards the Fate Soul in the Sea of Consciousness.
It hurts, it hurts so much!
The seven Mystic Rune Stars rolled continuously on his body the moment they came into contact with his Fate Soul.
It was incredibly heavy, relentlessly crushing his Fate Soul, just as the Heaven Derivation King had said, like a millstone trying to tear him apart.
Ahhh
Zhao Xing couldn't help but shout it out.
The souls began to be flattened and deformed, but Zhao Xing's Fate Soul had become very resilient after the previous visualization.
He persevered despite his gritted teeth.
"Boom!"
One of the Mystic Rune Stars suddenly disappeared and merged into Zhao Xing's Fate Soul.
The first star of the Life Soul Seal has been successfully obtained!
"Boom!"
The remaining six Mystic Rune Stars attacked Zhao Xing once again.
"Boom!"
The second star was also included.
"Ahhhh—"
The pain reached its peak in an instant, and Zhao Xing couldn't help but shout out again.
While trying to accommodate the third star, his Fate Soul began to tear. Zhao Xing knew he had reached his limit and had to stop immediately.
"Buzz~"
As he pressed the button, the Mystic Rune Stars in the sky instantly froze.
At the same time, Zhao Xing's Sea of Consciousness returned to calm.
"Pop~" He pulled out the stopper and poured a drop of Origin Soul Liquid into his mouth.
But it felt like he had swallowed air; the Origin Soul Liquid dripped directly into his Sea of Consciousness and was absorbed by his Fate Soul.
The tear was instantly repaired, and the Fate Soul was restored to its original state.
"Phew~"
Zhao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon seeing Heaven Derivation King appeared before Zhao Xing.
"You're too impulsive. I told you to be extremely careful. How could you start refining your soul after only half a month of studying?"
"How are you feeling now? Do you need to take another drop?" Heaven Derivation King asked.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness." Zhao Xing cupped his hands and said, "I underestimated it. Life Soul Seal Star is indeed very difficult. When I imprinted the third one, my Fate Soul tore apart." "However, thanks to the Origin Soul Liquid Your Highness gave me, I am fine now."
Heaven Derivation King was stunned. "What did you say? You've already reached the stage of Life Soul Seal Star? And you've cultivated two Fate Star?" A hint of shock flashed in Heaven Derivation King's eyes. He had cultivated two Fate Star in just half a month?
"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded. "When I used the third one, my Fate Soul began to show signs of tearing and collapsing, so I stopped... Your Highness, Your Highness?" Zhao Xing noticed that Heaven Derivation King was looking at him with a very strange expression.
Heaven Derivation King suppressed his shock. "Good, well done. You, you keep up the good work, no, you should rest for a bit." Heaven Derivation King quickly left.
What did he go to do? Heaven Derivation King went to check the records.
He discovered that Zhao Xing's cultivation speed seemed to be comparable to the fastest cultivation record ever recorded. He couldn't wait to know if this record had actually been broken.
Who wouldn't want to witness history? And this record-breaking person was discovered by him, the Heaven Derivation King!
"This kid is a monster! The fastest two-star record? Let me check... wow... he really broke it?!"
Heaven Derivation King looked at an encrypted dossier, which clearly stated: "First level of the Derivation God Art, two stars, fastest cultivation record is eighteen days!" "Hahaha, I've struck gold!" Heaven Derivation King burst into laughter.
