The Ultimate Law of Heavenly Timing and Grand Minister of Agriculture Li Boqian
"He cultivated two Fate Star in just half a month for the first layer of the Fate Soul Imprints Seven Stars. I discovered such a genius!" Heaven Derivation King revealed a proud smile.
"However, we can't tell him this beforehand, lest he become arrogant. We'll wait until he fully comprehends the first level. Judging from his performance, he's very likely to be the fastest to cultivate the Seven Stars of Fate Soul."
Heaven Derivation King did not intend to tell Zhao Xing now.
The main point was to tell him that it wouldn't speed up Zhao Xing's cultivation; on the contrary, it might make him feel lazy.
Even if Zhao Xing proves himself and doesn't become complacent, telling him these things might put pressure on him.
If Zhao Xing were to overdo his training in pursuit of the title of the greatest in history, wouldn't that be counterproductive?
Heaven Derivation King recorded Zhao Xing's cultivation:
On the seventh day of the tenth month of the thirtieth year of the Jingxin Calendar, Zhao Xing, the Agricultural Official, began cultivating his Seven Po. On the twenty-second day of the tenth month, he completed the Body Tempering.
[On the 23rd day of the tenth month of the 30th year of the Jingxin Calendar, I began cultivating the Soul Refining Chapter the Derivation God Art.]
[November 7th, the Life Soul Seal Twin Stars.]
After finishing writing, Heaven Derivation King looked at the document and sealed the dossier and the Mirage Pearl that recorded Zhao Xing's cultivation in the top-secret archives of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.
"His potential is greater than Liu Tianning's." Heaven Derivation King pulled out another file.
This is Liu Tianning's share.
On May 6th, in the 228th year of the Renovation Era Calendar, Agricultural Official Liu Tianning began his Body Tempering Body Tempering, which was completed on May 26th.
[Renovation Era Calendar 200]
He began by cultivating the Soul Refining Chapter the Derivation God Art Evolution Technique.
[June 15th, the day of the Life Soul Seal Star.]
[On July 7th, the Life Soul Seal the Twin Stars.]
[September 18th, the Life Soul Seal three stars.]
[On June 7th, in the 229th year of the Renovation Era Calendar, the Life Soul Seal the Four Stars.]
[December 5th, the Five Stars Life Soul Seal.]
[On the third day of the fourth month of the 231st year of the Renovation Era Calendar, the six stars of the Life Soul Seal.]
[On May 7th, the 233rd year of the Renovation Era Calendar, the Fate Soul Imprints Seven Stars, and the Divine Soul evolved into 10,086 paths, Derivation God Art.]
The cultivation time for the first level of the Derivation God Art is a total of five years and one day.
[The Derivation God Stele has been in existence for 35,346 years. Its first level of cultivation speed ranks ninth in history and first in this dynasty.]
"Liu Tianning cultivated his first Fate Star in just five days, which shocked Luo and me. In less than a month, he cultivated his second one."
"Back then, he was already at the Fourth-Rank Yuan Soul Realm. To protect him, Luo and I always made him pretend to be at the Fifth Grade Pure Yuan Realm, and we only gave him Fifth Grade official position in public." Heaven Derivation King recalled the past.
"He lived up to Luo's and my expectations and became the fastest person in the Great Zhou to cultivate the first level of the Derivation God Art. Moreover, he started cultivating from the middle level."
"I thought he was already incredibly talented, and that this record would be hard to break in my lifetime. But now Zhao Xing has appeared, and these two are even master and disciple." Heaven Derivation King sighed.
He always thought that the first eight in historical records were just legends.
Because Heaven Derivation King himself also cultivates the Derivation God Art and has already entered the second level.
He knew all too well how difficult this was; how could anyone possibly be faster than Liu Tianning?
Now it seems that it really exists!
"Hehe, he's even younger than Liu Tianning. If these two, master and disciple, both reach the high-level realm, I'll have a share in discovering these two talents." Heaven Derivation King thought to himself with satisfaction, but in an instant, he became somewhat melancholy, staring blankly at the dossier in his hand.
"I just don't know if I'll ever get to personally publish these files."
Heaven Derivation King has lived for 678 years, making him much older than Luo.
If Emperor Jing does not promote him to the rank of first-rank prince in another twenty years, he will die of old age.
Thinking of his elder brother's personality, Heaven Derivation King chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I'm afraid that's difficult."
When Zhao Xing saw Heaven Derivation King again, for some reason, he felt that the king was in a low mood.
He shouldn't have been able to sense the emotional fluctuations of a high-ranking figure, but he did indeed catch the anomaly in an instant.
"? I can actually sense a high-level emotional fluctuation?" Zhao Xing was surprised. "The Twin Stars of Life Soul Seal are truly effective."
As he cultivated the Derivation God Art, his Fate Soul also became more acute without him even realizing it.
However, Heaven Derivation King's slight dejection was fleeting, and he soon lost all sense of it.
"Zhao Xing, from this moment on, you have embarked on the first level of cultivation of the Derivation God Art," Heaven Derivation King. "However, you must not be too hasty. Use the Origin Soul Liquid when necessary, do not be stingy."
"Yes, I will follow the teachings of Heaven Derivation King," Zhao Xing replied respectfully.
"In addition, I have some cultivation insights here." Heaven Derivation King handed over a section of emerald green scroll. "You haven't embarked on this path before, so even if I gave it to you, you wouldn't understand it."
"Things are different now. I hope this helps you," Heaven Derivation King. "However, you don't have to believe it completely; just take it as a reference."
"There will be subtle differences in how each person cultivates the Derivation God Art, because each person's Fate Soul is different."
"You can only take this as a reference."
"Yes. Heaven Derivation King, for bestowing this law." Zhao Xing respectfully accepted it.
"You may ponder this on your own. If you have any questions, you can come to me," Heaven Derivation King. "I am inside the Star Palace. Just speak to me."
I can hear everything.
"Yes."
After receiving the emerald green scroll, Zhao Xing began to study it.
Zhao Xing stayed in the Star Palace to focus on his studies, while Chen Shijie handled most of the administrative affairs.
On November 7th, one of his clones also followed Geng Shouchang and Heng Yuan to the Mystic Heaven Academy.
As for the clones that followed Meng Kun and Gu Changqing, they set off later and only started today.
Those who have the advantage of Earthly Advantage Faction always have the most work. These two were on official business from the Daoyuan Continent to Pinghai Province, and they were among the last to leave.
Since Meng Kun and Gu Changqing were taking Zhao Xing back to the Daoyuan Continent headquarters, and there might be other arrangements along the way, Zhao Xing expected that he would not be able to truly complete the matter of moving into the Kunyuan Academy until January next year.
But the Mystic Heaven Academy arrived today.
Because Zhao Xing didn't go to the headquarters, but to the Mystic Heaven Academy in Tianyuan Prefecture, Pinghai Province.
Why didn't we go to headquarters? There are many reasons.
First, Wang Tianzhi, the Lesser Agriculture Decree, still has official business in Pinghai Province. Geng Shouchang, Heng Yuan, Sima Yunhai, and others must accompany Wang Tianzhi to finish their business before returning home. Second, in addition to his studies at the Mystic Heaven Academy, Zhao Xing also needs to hold a part-time position. Geng Shouchang promised him that he would be supervised by either Classics Scholar at the branch academy or Teaching Dharma Master at the main academy. Since Zhao Xing is an avatar, Geng Shouchang, Heng Yuan, and Sima Yunhai decided to let Zhao Xing serve as a Doctor of Classics at the Pinghai Province branch academy for the time being.
If we complete all the procedures at the branch hospital first, it will be much more convenient to go to the main hospital next year.
If he goes directly to the main hospital, it will probably cause a lot of opposition. If it's just a nominal position, that's fine, but Zhao Xing wants to study top-level laws!
This involves some resources and certain stakeholders.
When Zhao Xing cultivates in the Star Palace, the Star Platform, the seven Mystic Rune Stars, and the Origin Soul Liquid —aren't these all cultivation resources? Since they are resources, the issue of allocation arises.
After all, Zhao Xing Xinglai is Ten Thousand Laws Clone, so some people will inevitably be unhappy.
If you're genuinely interested in learning, that's fine, but what's with this "myriad manifestations of Ten Thousand Laws Clone?
Therefore, Geng Shouchang, Heng Yuan, Sima Yunhai decided to finalize the matter at the Tianyuan Prefecture Branch in Pinghai Province first.
For Zhao Xing, it didn't matter, because he also had the opportunity to cultivate and comprehend at the Tianyuan Prefecture Branch.
He was even more eager to cultivate at the Tianyuan Prefecture Branch of the Mystic Heaven Academy, because he had only just begun to practice top-level techniques and did not involve important resources or facilities, so there was no need to go to the headquarters. Another reason was that the Tianyuan Prefecture Branch of the Mystic Heaven Academy was home to Li Boqian, the current Grand Minister of Agriculture!
Who knows, we might trigger some "hidden quest" with this Grand Minister of Agriculture and get some hidden rewards.
"It is now November of the 30th year of the Jingxin Calendar. According to the development trajectory of the previous life, Li Boqian should have already arrived at the Tianyuan Branch Academy."
"Wang Tianzhi, Geng Shouchang, Heng Yuan, and Sima Yunhai took a detour, probably to report to Li Boqian," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
Why would a place like Azure Sea Grotto Heaven need so many Agricultural Official officials?
Wang Tianzhi was Second Rank Lesser Agriculture Decree, and he also led more than a dozen Third Grade officials.
The Grand Coachman the Ji Shuchang, did not bring so many subordinate officials with him.
Of course, it's understandable that the imperial court would send so many people to the East Sea, given its importance to the region.
"I wonder if my guess is true, and whether I'll be able to run into Li Boqian," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
When Grand Minister of Agriculture Li Boqian comes, he will inevitably bring one or more sets of Solar Terms Decree with him.
It's unlikely that all Solar Terms Decree be brought over, because they will also be used to stabilize the Heavenly Timing in other places.
But this is a treasure of the Agricultural Official! It's definitely better than the Solar Terms Decree created by that impoverished Li Dynasty!
Even just seeing it for yourself would be of great benefit to your cultivation of the "Solar Terms Decree".
"It is said that Li Boqian also created three unique and secret techniques, namely Kunpeng Transformation, Chichi Ruler of the Horizon, and Yuan Seal."
"Among them, the Kunpeng Transformation is an internal cultivation Transformation of Seasons Art, and the Ruler of the Horizon ' technique is Cloud Method." Zhao Xing didn't know what kind of magic Yuan Seal was.
Because he had only heard of this spell in his previous life, and it was not passed down to him.
It is said that no one can learn this unique skill created by Li Boqian.
"It is said that the secret technique ' Yuan Seal ' was created by Li Boqian and directly points to the ultimate magic, but this secret technique does not have the foundation of low, medium and high levels."
Many top-tier spells have a foundation.
For example, Zhao Xing was able to comprehend the top-level technique, [Yuan-Draining Underground Palace], because he had already learned [Boundless Earth Palace]. There are commonalities between the Earth Palace Art.
It's like laying the foundation.
The Yuan-Draining Underground Palace also has 34 high-level and 273 mid-level techniques.
In other words, if you can master all 34 high-level techniques and 273 mid-level Earth Palace Art.
Therefore, the difficulty of comprehending the Yuan-Draining Underground Palace will be reduced.
For example, the Straw Man Art, the Soul Capturing Straw Figure and the Soul Devouring Straw Figure—
The Soul Devouring Law Body has a set of advancement paths from simple to complex.
However, Li Boqian's "Yuan Seal" seems to lack a basic version.
"Rumor has it that he died before he could perfect his Dao, and since there was no clear path from shallow to deep, it is indeed very difficult for others to understand his Dao," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
"Just like my current self-created spell Thunder Breaking Illusion Finger, if I don't release the intermediate-level Thunderbolt Lasso and Thunderclap Palm, it's difficult for anyone to learn it without the prerequisites."
Ultimate Law often have this problem; some are so difficult that only the founder can learn them, and no one else can learn them at all.
However, when searching for a successor, the technique may be transformed or distorted. For example, the first generation master might pass down the Ultimate Law, but the second generation might not have learned it completely or their understanding might differ, resulting in the absence of one or two of the ultimate techniques. Thus, it would be reduced to the level of a top-tier technique.
Thus, if only three generations go astray, the Ultimate Law will be completely lost, which is why finding a successor is extremely important.
Under the tutelage of the Great Zhou, the Seventy-Two Dao Academies underwent significant changes, such as the Dharma Transmission Tower of the Li Fire Dao Academy.
Of course, with each generation producing talented individuals, there are also those who create new and powerful spells.
Overall, the types, quantity, and quality of spells have all increased.
The Liu Clan Straw Man Art reached its peak in the hands of Liu Tianning.
"Li Boqian's Origin Seal Art was a mystery in my previous life. I wonder if I'll have a chance to observe it this time." Zhao Xing didn't necessarily want to learn Li Boqian's Origin Seal Art; it was purely out of curiosity.
The Time Faction Time Faction possesses the most Ultimate Law, far exceeding the number of the other two sects, which is why it has always been dominant.
Meng Kun and Gu Changqing tried to recruit Zhao Xing, but they were beaten up by Geng Shouchang and had to obediently wait their turn.
There's no way around it, might makes right!
"Zhao Xing, come with me." Geng Shouchang arrived at a room on the third floor of the Tower Ship and knocked on the door.
"Yes." Zhao Xing followed Geng Shouchang out of the Wind Breath Cloud Ship.
At this moment, the Wind Breath Cloud Ship had already stopped Mystic Heaven Academy in Tianyuan Prefecture, Pinghai Province.
Looking at the scattered petals and ribbons around him, Zhao Xing guessed that the ceremony was already over before Geng Shouchang came to call him.
Indeed, the Tower Ship was deserted, with only a few Mechanism Master carrying out routine maintenance and inspections.
Zhao Xing looked around and saw that Wang Tianzhi's official boat was moored on a mountaintop.
The entire mountain is very neat and orderly. It is a man-made mountain, as if the top half of a pyramid has been cut off.
There are seven other similar mooring peaks in the surrounding area.
At the foot of the mountain are rows of neat and tall Golden Radiance Tree. These trees have tall and straight trunks, with only a few branches blooming at the top.
It is entirely golden, neatly arranged, grand and pleasing to the eye.
The clouds in the sky were also neatly arranged, with eight trigram-shaped cloud paths distributed across the sky.
The sky was azure, and sunlight streamed down through the Bagua Cloud Path, illuminating the gleaming Golden Radiance Tree and reflecting onto the Wind Breath Cloud Ship.
Wang Tianzhi's simple and unadorned Wind Breath Cloud Ship somehow managed to exude a noble and grand feeling!
"It's really friendly to people with OCD." Zhao Xing found this style pleasing to the eye.
After Tower Ship, Zhao Xing and Geng Shouchang boarded a small flying boat and left the docking area.
In order not to cause trouble for Geng Shouchang, Zhao Xing's clone always wore a bamboo hat and a robe to conceal his aura.
When Geng Shouchang went to register at the Mystic Heaven Academy, he deliberately went at a different time.
The vice dean of the branch who should have been present happened to be accompanying Wang Tianzhi, leaving only a Fifth Grade Director of Studies present.
It was impossible to tell that Zhao Xing's body was a clone.
Because he was recommended by three officials of the Third Grade, and with these three acting as guarantors, Zhao Xing quickly completed the otherwise complicated onboarding process.
However, he acted suspiciously when he came to Classics Scholar of classics, as if he were a thief, afraid of being discovered.
"From today onwards, you are the Classics Scholar at the Tianyuan Prefecture Branch."
"I've already spoken with Lu Chunhua. You'll stay at the Heaven Origin Pavilion most of the time, and you only need to give one public lecture a month."
"Your accommodation has been arranged; it's in the Mirror Lake Courtyard in the East District."
"I'll stay here until the end of the year. Heng Yuan and Sima Yunhai will go to the main hospital first."
"I'll transfer you away again next year," Geng Shouchang said.
"Yes, thank you, Lord Geng." Zhao Xing cupped his hands in thanks. "When may I begin to learn magic?"
"The Mystic Heaven Academy has Dharma Transmission Tower. The ninetieth floor and above are all top-level places for comprehending Dharma, which can help people understand the Way of Heavenly Timing."
Geng Shouchang glanced at the Earth Mirror, seemingly trying to understand the rules of this branch. "However, these resources to help people comprehend are limited; you can only be allocated five days of meditation time each month."
Five days a month is already quite good. This was only because of the recommendations of three Third Grade officials of the third rank. Lu Chunhua, the dean of the Tianyuan Prefecture Branch, agreed.
After all, Zhao Xing only gives a lecture once a month, and he became Classics Scholar through a special recommendation system.
It's impossible to occupy a lot of resources right from the start.
Liu Tianning said he would give Zhao Xing 10 billion yuan in training resources, and then he would have to work at the Shangluo Academy.
How much you give, how much you receive—it's the same everywhere.
"You can also go to the Heaven Origin Pavilion to study at other times. Heaven Origin Pavilion is a huge library. The scriptures and murals inside contain high-level Time Law."
"Through your contemplation of it, you will also gain insight into the highest levels of Dharma."
"My residence is in Returning to Truth Garden. You are welcome to come and learn from me. However, I am only skilled in teaching thunder magic."
"I also know the other top-tier techniques, but I'm not an expert in them."
Geng Shouchang specializes in the thunder magic of the Time Law. He has gone quite far in this path, having already reached the top level of the Seventh-Turn in two of his techniques.
If one has a profound understanding of thunder magic, then of course one can teach others the basics:
As for other spells, although Cloud Method, Wind Art, and Rain Art have all reached the top level, they are only at the second or third level.
Even with two or three levels of mastery, I've only just begun to understand the basics, so I can't really teach others.
"Yes, thank you for being willing to teach me, Master Geng. I will start by learning the Thunder Technique." Seeing that Geng Shouchang was so dedicated and genuinely willing to teach him, Zhao Xing changed his form of address accordingly.
Geng Shouchang nodded slightly. "Alright, come with me."
Geng Shouchang led Zhao Xing to Returning to Truth Garden, a hilly area.
The area is vast, spanning twenty li in circumference, with only one manor; the rest is all mountains, water, forests, and grasslands.
In a place like Tianyuan Prefecture where land is incredibly valuable, only Third Grade official's residence would have such spaciousness.
Upon arriving at Returning to Truth Garden, Geng Shouchang immediately began teaching.
"I know two top-tier lightning techniques: Yin Nether Thunder Law and Yang Thunder Law."
"I have cultivated the Nether Thunder Law to the top level of the Seventh-Turn, and the Yang Thunder Law to the top level of the Eighth-Turn."
"The full name of the Nether Thunder Law is the Three Yin Cold Netherworld Thunder Grand Art, also known as Yin Shattering Thunder or Cold Shattering Thunder."
"This technique was created 25,400 years ago by Han Ming, a powerful figure from the Mystic Heaven Academy. Originally, it only had Seventh-Turn, but it was further developed and refined by generations of sages, eventually reaching its ultimate perfection. It is also one of the most complete top-tier technique inheritances stored within the Mystic Heaven Academy."
"This method was derived from the Great Cold solar term and has been continuously improved by later generations."
"From the first to the Nine Turns, there are three secret techniques: ' Three Yin Thunder Seal ', ' Cold Shattering Thunder Domain ', and ' Five Elements Yin Thunder World '."
"Each secret technique is most powerful when combined with the Great Cold Solar Terms Decree."
"I will now demonstrate the first move to you, the Three Yin Thunder Seal."
The Solar Terms Decree flashed and flew into the sky. As soon as it flew out, Zhao Xing felt the surrounding temperature drop rapidly, and the grass withered instantly.
Strangely, despite the low temperature, there was no ice forming around it.
Before Zhao Xing could see clearly, he saw a flash of light appear on Geng Shouchang's finger.
Within a few hundred meters of his feet, the grass had all withered and died.
The trees and leaves have completely withered.
Within the area where Geng Shouchang was casting his spell, the air was filled with a cold, deathly silence.
Not far away, the sun shines brightly, and the plants and trees are full of vitality.
Such a stark contrast creates a strong visual impact.
How could this have happened in the blink of an eye?
Where's the thunder? Where's the sound?
I didn't see it at all!
Geng Shouchang said, "What I just unleashed was its inherent power, only the range was controlled. The Nether Thunder Law is silent; it's normal that you couldn't see the spell being cast. Now I will break it down."
"Look carefully."
Geng Shouchang cast his spell a second time, and the Great Cold Solar Terms Decree was issued.
The size of the seal in the main hall.
Then fingertips
"The Greater Yin Thunder Seal, Lesser Yin Thunder Seal, and Terminal Yin Thunder Seal merge into one in an instant!"
"Go!"
The three lightning seals vanished instantly, and the other grassland returned to its deathly still state, all life force gone.
"Did you see it clearly?" Geng Shouchang asked.
"No," Zhao Xing shook his head.
Even though Geng Shouchang split the spell and slowed down the casting speed, the whole process was still incredibly fast.
"There's nothing I can do; this is already the effect after I reduced it tenfold," Geng Shouchang said. "If it were any slower, it wouldn't be a top-tier spell."
Zhao Xing nodded. This was the difficulty of studying top-level law.
It's impossible to slow down every step a thousand times.
It's like lighting a level 6 Firecracker Bamboo; a level 6 explosion generates a massive impact in an instant, so the speed must be very fast.
If it slows down, it won't be called a sixth-order Firecracker Bamboo.
Teachers like Geng Shouchang are quite skilled; they can control top-level methods, break down steps, and slow things down tenfold.
If it were someone else who only mastered top-tier first or second-tier spells, they wouldn't be any slower at all.
Therefore, Geng Shouchang said that he could not teach the other spells, because he could use them himself, but he could not demonstrate them to his students.
"It might be better if my true self were here, but right now it's just an avatar. The Dao of top-level lightning techniques is fleeting, and it's quite difficult to capture such insights," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
The Three Yin Thunder Seal is different from the Yuan-Draining Underground Palace. The Yuan-Draining Underground Palace is a continuous spell, giving Zhao Xing plenty of time to observe and comprehend it. The Three Yin Thunder Seal is different; the entire spell process is extremely short.
This is also a characteristic of Nether Thunder Law: it is fast, concealed, and difficult to detect.
"It's alright, you can go to the Heaven Origin Pavilion to study the three hundred high-level lightning seal techniques."
"Starting to comprehend the high-level Thunder Seals will greatly help you understand the Three Yin Thunder Seal."
"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Master Geng." Zhao Xing wrote down Geng Shouchang's words. "And what about the Yang Thunder Law?"
Geng Shouchang: "The Yang Thunder Law that I practice is called the Profound Heaven Suppressing Prison Thunder Grand Art. It is one of the classic thunder techniques of our school, also known as Prison Suppressing Thunder or Profound Heaven Thunder."
"This method also has three powerful secret techniques. The first is the Heavenly Thunder Finger. It's a small-scale, close-combat attack, and its power ranks among the top five thunder-based secret techniques."
"The second is the Thunder Primordial Lock, a forbidden spell that uses thunder magic to lock a person's vital energy. Once the lock is complete, the enemy's life or death is in your hands."
"The third is the Prison Suppressing Thunder Pool. This secret technique has an extremely large range, making it suitable for use on the battlefield. The entire world will be transformed into a thunder cage, using lightning to refine the enemy."
"This method can be used in conjunction with the solar terms of Awakening of Insects, Start of Summer, Minor Heat, Great Heat Solar Terms Decree to enhance the power of thunder magic."
"The power of the Yang Thunder Law varies depending on the season."
Zhao Xing's eyes lit up immediately. He had practiced the Profound Heaven Thunder Law in his previous life because it was one of the classic thunder techniques of the Time Faction.
Therefore, he was able to recognize the magic that Geng Shouchang had used at that time at a glance.
"The Heavenly Thunder Finger Technique is cast from the inside out. The internal organs are governed by the Five Elements, with the liver belonging to the Thunder element. Externally, it borrows the power of Heaven and Earth, representing the ultimate Yang energy. Therefore, Yin energy must be completely eliminated, and neither internal nor external forces can malfunction."
"If your vital energy circulates through your kidneys, and the spell is mixed with other elements, the power of the spell will be greatly reduced, or even completely invalidated, and will eventually backfire on you."
"You can use a spell similar to 'Bright Eyes,' such as the Five Elements Observation, to observe the circulation of vital energy within my body."
Geng Shouchang explained things in great detail and taught very seriously.
Zhao Xing also studied very diligently.
The Yang Thunder Law is powerful and its speed is controllable because it has a "power-accumulation" process.
In addition, Zhao Xing's self-created "Thunder Breaking Illusion Finger" was also subconsciously related to the Heavenly Thunder Finger because he was used to it in his previous life.
He comprehended this advanced technique and the Startling Thunder Transformation Art during the [Awakening of Insects] and [Start of Summer], respectively.
It can be said that Zhao Xing already possesses a very high level of skill.
When Geng Shouchang unleashed the Heavenly Thunder Finger, Zhao Xing was immediately affected.
I subconsciously started learning from them.
"Sizzle sizzle~"
A burst of lightning shot from his fingertip, quickly condensing into a finger.
The surrounding air instantly became scorching hot, eventually forming a vortex of lightning that swirled around his fingertips.
Wen Peng awarded it.
In the instant before collapse, Zhao Xing had no choice but to release this power onto the ground.
The attempt failed.
"What is this—" Geng Shouchang glanced at him, quite surprised.
Although Zhao Xing's spell just now failed to take shape in the end, the first half of it already laid the foundation for the formation of the Heavenly Thunder Finger.
"You—" Geng Shouchang really wanted to ask Zhao Xing if he had studied it, but then he thought that the question was unnecessary.
How could he possibly have studied this? This is top-level law.
"Your talent in lightning magic is truly astonishing." Geng Shouchang praised without reservation. "To grasp the knack after only seeing my demonstration for the first time is simply—"
Geng Shouchang didn't know what to say, but then he felt a pang of regret.
"If you were to come here in person to learn, you would only need three years to master the Yang Thunder Law."
Zhao Xing cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said, "Master Geng, I have my reasons, and I have no choice but to do this."
The cultivation of the Derivation God Art must be done in the Heavenly Mystery Hall of the Military Realm.
The Dragon Court Ancient Land instance was also a top priority in his plan.
There's something with spiritual energy inside!
Furthermore, to avoid going insane, practicing the Straw Man Art requires matching it with the Ultimate Soul Law.
Therefore, Zhao Xing's true self really cannot leave.
The priority of cultivating the Derivation God Art is higher than that of other methods.
In fact, Zhao Xing might not have been able to grasp the knack and get on the right track so quickly before.
It seems that the cultivation of the Derivation God Art has already shown initial results, with the Life Soul Seal Twin Stars.
The Fate Soul within his clone also became stronger.
Before cultivation, the insights gained from creating clones were like covering one eye with a veil, while the remaining eye was covered with a gauze.
Now the gauze is much thinner, which allows him to utilize some of his learning talent.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Geng Shouchang waved his hand. "Don't rush to learn the Nether Thunder Law; you can focus on studying the Yang Thunder Law first."
"I have a banquet tonight, so I don't have time to teach you today. Come back tomorrow after noon."
"Yes, student takes his leave." Zhao Xing bowed respectfully.
After leaving Returning to Truth Garden, Zhao Xing immediately went to the Heaven Origin Pavilion.
Heaven Origin Pavilion is a huge library containing countless spells and secret techniques.
Of course, 99% are low to mid-level, and a small portion are high-level.
Heaven Origin Pavilion is 1,000 meters high and has a cylindrical structure with nine layers inside and outside.
Each floor has a separate reading room on each side, which is divided into hundreds of thousands of individual rooms.
Bookshelves are everywhere; if you want to read, just take a book into the room.
Holding the token of the Classics Scholar, Zhao Xing went directly to the top floor, to a spacious room.
The highest level of Dharma is only accessible to Classics Scholar at the Tianyuan Prefecture Branch.
After Zhao Xing entered, he began browsing through the top-tier calligraphy library.
"This contains ninety-two top-level techniques, but only one points directly to the ultimate path, and only the cultivation of the top-level stage is recorded." Zhao Xing browsed through it.
"There were seven Ultimate Law the Heavenly Timing during the reign of Great Zhou Emperor Jing, not counting Li Boqian's * Yuan Seal *."
Of the seven Ultimate Law of the Time Faction, three are methods of observing Transformation of Seasons Art, and the other four are wind, rain, thunder, and clouds.
This also corresponds to the five major branches within the Time Faction.
The Earthly Advantage Faction School also has five branches: Earth Treasury, Earth Palace, Earth Split, Mystic Earth, and Spirit Mountain. However, these five branches only have three Ultimate Law.
It has Earth Treasury, Earth Palace, and Earth Split, but not Mountain Art and Mystic Earth Art.
As for the True Self Faction, let's not even mention them.
Because in the Vital Energy Era, apart from the Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet, there are no other Ultimate Law. Of course, the Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet Ultimate Law is strong enough, especially in Liu Tianning's hands, and it is already showing a tendency to overwhelm other Ultimate Law.
Therefore, whoever can embark on this path and cultivate the supreme Dharma body will be the leader of the True Self Faction.
The branches within the True Self Faction are based on plant categories. Although the True Self Faction has the most branches, they are more united and harmonious among them.
Unlike the factions Time Faction and Earthly Advantage Faction, which are often divided into factions with numerous internal struggles, these factions are different.
When selecting top-tier spells, Zhao Xing only looked at those that could serve as a springboard to comprehend the ultimate spells.
"Of the ninety-two top-tier techniques placed here, only the ' Cloud Gate ' technique points to the ultimate path."
Zhao Xing pulled out this thick book, the "Cloud Gate" method, which is one of the nine top-level methods derived from the Ultimate Law "Yun Tian Dao".
By studying the "Cloud Gate" teachings, one may have the opportunity to comprehend the Ultimate Law future.
Yun Tian Dao is both the name of the Ultimate Law and the name of its founder.
"I've confirmed the second top-tier method of Heavenly Timing." Zhao Xing took the book back to his room.
"The Profound Heaven Thunder Law and the Cloud Gate are what I will be studying for the next period of time."
The Profound Heaven Thunder Law is also Ultimate Law, and what Geng Shouchang taught him was the Thunder Suppression Prison Chapter from the Ultimate Law.
By practicing these two top-level methods, there will be no need to switch to other methods in the future.
From that day on, Zhao Xing began to focus on studying the two top-level spells, "Profound Heaven Thunder Law" and "Cloud Gate," at the Mystic Heaven Academy.
However, his progress is quite slow compared to his previous enlightenment.
Unless one has fully comprehended the first level of the Derivation God Art, one can accelerate the comprehension speed of the clone.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's November 29th.
Inside the Star Palace, Zhao Xing's cultivation broke through once again.
The third Fate Star was created.
"Gulp~" Zhao Xing drank a drop of Origin Soul Liquid, quickly restoring his Fate Soul to its original state.
At this moment, a bright spot of light appeared in his Sea of Consciousness, on Fate Soul waist and shoulders.
"With the three stars of the Life Soul Seal as the foundation, I split into a hundred Fate Soul. Even if the clones are destroyed, my foundation will not be damaged."
"Once the seven stars appear, we can form the Seven-Star Soul Body, and the Seven Po of the physical body will also become stronger as a result." Zhao Xing closed his eyes and quietly comprehended.
Heaven Derivation King watched from afar, clenching his fist in excitement.
"From the seventh day of the eleventh month until now, the Fate Soul has reached three stars, and it has only taken twenty-three days!"
"He's the fastest again!"
Even when writing the dossier, Heaven Derivation King couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
This isn't writing a case file, it's writing history!
His name will surely be known to future generations as a witness to history!
"Hahaha, Zhao Xing, you'd better live up to my reputation!" Heaven Derivation King. "Whether I can go down in history depends on you!"
Liu Tianning is only ninth in history, which is somewhat lacking in significance.
But Zhao Xing has reorganized the historical record with every step he takes, and he will definitely be remembered as the first!
"When the dynasty falls, I'll just be a prince in the River of History. I'm Fate Officials, and I might not even be remembered."
"But records of spiritual practice like these will surely be remembered in the future!"
"Hehe, Luo, I'll have something to brag about to him again."
At this moment, Heaven Derivation King showed no airs of a prince and was laughing happily to himself.
The three stars of the Fate Soul greatly help the comprehension effect of the clone.
Because the Derivation God Art Technique is a perfect match for the Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet, cultivating this technique will correspondingly enhance the effectiveness of the Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet.
On November 25th, Zhao Xing entered the Secret Art Tower of the Tianyuan Prefecture Branch.
He gets to enter and meditate there for five days each month for free, so of course he can't waste it.
"Like the Li Fire Dao Academy, the Secret Art Tower here is also made from fragments of a small world." Zhao Xing looked at the vast sky around him.
"Staying here increases my affinity with the Five Elements Heaven and Earth by dozens of times, making it easier to comprehend the Dao."
At this moment, the power of heaven and earth was fully visible to the naked eye.
The sky is always radiating a rainbow of colors, and the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder) and the principles of heaven and earth are clearly visible.
Staying here for one day and cultivating top-level techniques is equivalent to spending dozens of days outside.
The unique characteristics of the Secret Art Tower make every day spent here extremely precious.
Of course, only those with Classics Scholar or at the level of vice dean can use this resource.
"Keep studying it, I feel like I'm almost done with the Thunder Technique!" Zhao Xing started cultivating again.
Especially after reaching the third level of the Fate Soul in the Derivation God Art, he felt that his progress had accelerated.
Mystic Heaven Academy, Tianyuan Prefecture Branch, Eighth Floor of the Secret Art Tower.
An old man dressed in linen clothes with a wooden hairpin in his hair was strolling around Secret Art Tower.
He looked very simple, like an old farmer, strolling leisurely through the layers of the Secret Art Tower.
Secret Art Tower, numerous Agricultural Official were casting spells, practicing diligently, and bombarding the Law Wall.
The old man in gray just watched them with a smile as they walked through the bustling training ground.
"Hey kid, where are you aiming your lightning spell? It's almost hitting someone! The Law Wall is to the east! To the east!"
Li Boqian looked at a young man with a naive appearance and muttered to himself.
But the young man couldn't see him; he was scratching his head in frustration as he looked at his test results.
"The energy circulation of the Palm Thunder must pass through the Hegu acupoint. Only in this way can you grasp the point of impact of the spell. If you pass through the Laogong acupoint, even if you practice ten thousand times, the spell will still be crooked and unsteady."
"Who, who's speaking?" The young Agricultural Official looked around but didn't see anyone.
He then practiced blindly and found that his accuracy had indeed improved a lot.
Li Baiqian smiled slightly and continued walking uphill.
Occasionally, when he sees someone practicing haphazardly, he can't help but offer some pointers.
"That's not how you blow the wind! The Gale Law is a Yang Wind, extremely fierce and powerful. You must control it from the beginning, otherwise everything will fall apart later."
"Rain and Thunderclap don't conflict. Why do you insist on thunder before rain? Does it mean it won't rain without Thunderclap? Stop practicing Rain Art and thunder magic for now, practice Cloud Method first."
"And there's a Agricultural Official Invoking the Gods? No, Priest who invites the Shennong God... he looks kind of familiar..." - Oh, it's my teacher.
Li Boqian cupped his hands in greeting and then continued walking uphill.
He walked through the wheat field like a farmer, picking and choosing the wheat ears, removing weeds, and straightening the fallen wheat seedlings.
They walked all the way to the 89th floor. Li Boqian seemed tired and leaned against a big tree to rest.
Beneath the large tree stood a Fourth Grade guardian, completely unaware of Li Boqian's arrival, as he was lecturing to those below.
There were only about fourteen or fifteen people listening to the lecture because it was all about advanced methods, and not many of them could understand it.
Li Boqian wanted to rest, but after closing his eyes, he couldn't fall asleep no matter what he did.
Because this Teaching Dharma Master named "Huang Dian" preached terribly.
Li Boqian couldn't help but pick at his ear and said, "Incompetent official! Stop misleading the youth! The Southern Barbarians ' Insect Witch used the Great Heat solar term to exterminate 2UH:
"If we send you to the battlefield, bugs will be swarming everywhere!"
Guardian Huang Dian was immediately startled. "Who, who's speaking! Who are you to dare question this official?"
Li Boqian immediately walked up behind him and kicked him off the platform. "Do I need some kind of status to question you? Your official tone is so heavy-handed. Go back to farming, don't come teaching!"
It was a very light kick, but the Fourth Grade official named Huang Dian was completely wiped out.
A cloud of mist rose from his body, and then he inexplicably disappeared from the high platform.
The next moment, he appeared outside the Secret Art Tower, in the Dean's office, more than fifty miles away.
Huang Dian was shocked to see Lu Chunhua: "Dean? How did I get here—"
Lu Chunhua put down her wolf-hair brush and calmly asked, "Mr. Huang, were you betrayed?"
Huang Dian was even more shocked. "How did you know?"
"What did the person who brought you say?"
"He told me to go back to farming—"
Lu Chunhua nodded. "Yes, Mr. Huang, you will be transferred to the Agriculture Affairs Office."
"What, this—" Huang Dian was stunned.
"Remember, before you go, have Ritual Cultivator a Silence Spell on you. Don't tell anyone, and don't make any wild guesses, or you really can go home."
The main character trembled and immediately became obedient. After finishing the Huang Dian, Li Boqian, the Grand Minister of Agriculture, originally wanted to go back and play chess with someone.
There's not much to see above the 90th floor; I imagine it's mostly Old Sima Nong in seclusion.
However, at the last minute, Li Boqian suddenly changed his mind.
With a single step, he vanished from the eighty-ninth floor.
The next moment, he arrived at the ninetieth floor, on a grassy area shrouded in mist.
"Who?" Zhao Xing, who was cultivating, was startled.
Because someone suddenly appeared within his "Mist-Hiding Art".
To study Cloud Method, one cannot only study Cloud Method; Cloud Method and Mist-Hiding Art also have many similarities.
Zhao Xing was verifying each other using higher-order methods when someone suddenly appeared in his cloud of mist.
Moreover, I can't see it myself; I can only sense that a figure suddenly appears out of thin air!
Li Boqian originally did not intend to show up or say anything, and planned to leave directly.
Then he took a closer look.
"Oh, Ten Thousand Laws Clone?"
