Two Years of Cultivation Results, a Different Path from Old Liu!
The main campus of the Kunyuan Academy comprises two parts.
Part of it is in Kunyuan County of the Daoyuan Continent. One-third of the entire county belongs to the Kunyuan Academy.
The remaining two-thirds of the county's land consisted of the lower-level academies of the Kunyuan Academy, as well as official land, public fields, and fiefdoms.
Inside the academy, there is a Grotto-Heaven, two blessed lands, three Spirit Mountain, and sixteen Spirit Lake.
Kunyuan Grotto Heaven has only one entrance, and that is here at the headquarters.
The two blessed lands are Spirit Ruins Blessed Land and Double Light Blessed Land.
All three Spirit Mountain rank among the top ten in the Nineteen Provinces, and all the Spirit Lake are also among the top one hundred.
According to Meng Kun's explanation, "There are only two blessed lands, three Spirit Mountain, and sixteen lakes, entirely because Kunyuan County is only so big. It's not that we can't cultivate more blessed lands, Spirit Mountain, and Spirit Lake."
The naming Earthly Advantage Faction is very down-to-earth. The first-ranked Spirit Mountain in the Great Zhou is called "Spirit Mountain" (Spirit Mountain), the second-ranked mountain is called "Green Mountain" (Green Mountain), and the fourth-ranked Spirit Lake " (Green Water Lake).
It wasn't until the reign of Wu Emperor that it was renamed. This was because Wu Emperor enjoyed naming mountains; for example, the First Mountain was renamed Wu Spirit Mountain.
The minimum requirement for a scholar of classics at the Kunyuan Academy is to be appointed as a Fourth Grade official.
But rules are made by people. Meng Kun, the vice dean, first arranged for Zhao Xing to be a Teaching Dharma Master, and then made him concurrently serve as the "Director of Studies" of the Earth Treasury branch.
That is, Meng Kun is the assistant to the Earth Treasury Institute.
According to the regulations of the Great Zhou, neither of the two positions that Zhao Xing held concurrently required Fourth Grade official position. However, as Meng Kun's Director of Studies, his treatment was equivalent to that of a scholar who had mastered the classics. In this way, he could naturally enjoy the privileges of studying top-level laws and entering sacred places for enlightenment.
"The Earth Treasury Institute, the Spirit Mountain Institute, the Mystic Earth Institute, the Earth Palace Institute, and the Kunyuan Institute are the five major academies of the academy."
"As the vice dean, I hold positions in Earth Treasury Institute and the Spirit Ruins Blessed Land," Meng Kun said. "Chang Qing is in the Earth Palace Institute; he is a Doctor of the Five Classics and also holds a position in the Blessed Land."
Zhao Xing listened attentively. The Five Classics Doctor was a high-ranking doctor in the field of Classics Scholar. Gu Changqing held a high position in the Earth Palace Institute, and Meng Kun was in charge of the Earth Treasury Institute.
Then there will be no obstacles to learning top-level Earth Palace Art and Earth Treasury Art on your own.
Because these two are the leaders of the two houses of parliament.
"Changqing and I are both quite busy; there's a lot to do at Spirit Ruins Blessed Land," Meng Kun said. "Your further studies will basically depend on yourself. We can only spare two or three days a month to guide you at most."
"Thank you both, I am deeply grateful," Zhao Xing said, cupping his hands in thanks.
That's how the Earthly Advantage Faction" works; they're either doing something or on their way to doing something. Even if they hold high positions, they're never idle. This was especially true during the reigns of Emperor Jing and Wu Emperor, when the Earthly Advantage Faction did even more.
Because war is necessary, expanding territory is not simply a matter of occupying land; to quickly cultivate the land, it is essential to deploy a large number of Earthly Advantage Faction Shennong.
The Earthly Advantage Faction also had close ties with the Engineer School, and many of the Agrarian School 'Magic Array and mechanisms had to be arranged and implemented under the leadership of the Earthly Advantage Faction Shennong. They handled almost 80% of the workload.
In addition, there are more people in the Military Sima Nong who follow the Earthly Advantage Faction because they are more enthusiastic about war. Chen Shijie is a die-hard fan of the Earthly Advantage Faction.
When Meng Kun and Gu Changqing said they were busy, they weren't just making excuses when they arrived at their destination; they were genuinely busy.
However, Zhao Xing didn't care.
Because learning the Earth Palace Art and the Earth Treasury Art, one does not really need a teacher to guide them.
The main difference is that both spells are "continuous spells".
Take the Earth Palace Art as an example; once cast, it won't dissipate for a long time.
The Seventy-Two Earth Palaces of the Ten Yang Grotto-Heaven were originally something Zhao Xing had to study on his own. They have always existed and can be slowly disassembled and developed.
For example, the Yuan-Draining Underground Palace was set up by Gu Changqing within the Azure Sea Grotto Heaven. He remained outside the Grotto-Heaven for two months without dissipating.
Unlike the Time Law, which can be completed in the blink of an eye and is difficult to see clearly, making it hard to comprehend.
The Earth Treasury Art and the Earth Palace Art last for a long time, and the Spiritual Mountain Law lasts even longer.
The casting steps of the Spiritual Mountain Law are the longest, since transforming a mountain into Spirit Mountain is not something that can be done in a day or two.
Take a level seven Spirit Mountain as an example; even the shortest time it took to form was a full eight years!
There's no upper limit to how high it can go. For example, the goal of the Kunyuan Academy is to nurture the number one mountain, [Spirit Mountain], to the level of level nine.
But even after more than 37,000 years of continuous mountain maintenance, it is still not complete.
The Spiritual Mountain Law and the True Self Faction of nurturing a tree are somewhat similar, passed down from generation to generation, with the tree remaining even after the person dies.
The characteristics of the Earth Splitting Art are similar to those of the Time Law: it is a relatively fast spell with great destructive power.
As for the characteristics of the Mystic Earth Art), it is as its name suggests, mysterious and profound, making it the most difficult spell to learn. Its most well-known aspect is its escape technique.
However, the Mystic Earth Art is not just a method of escape; it possesses the characteristics of the other four schools of magic.
Many people say that the Mystic Earth Art is the ultimate of the other four methods because many spells are derived from the Mystic Earth Art. Combining the Mystic Earth Art with other spells will result in even more powerful spells.
However, the Mystic Earth Art has no Ultimate Law and cannot be definitively proven.
"You'll be living in Kun Mountain from now on. This is a mountain I've been cultivating." Meng Kun led Zhao Xing to a mountain that was a thousand meters Gao Shan. "It's already nine hundred and twenty-five meters high."
There are many palaces and courtyards built against the mountain on Kun Mountain. When Zhao Xing noticed that the mountain was emitting a faint, ethereal light, as if it were breathing.
"My teacher nurtured Kun Mountain for over two hundred years, and when it was passed down to me, it was already 850 meters tall. Since fifty years ago, I've been practicing Mountain Art, absorbing the power of the Earth Vein to nourish it, but it hasn't yet broken the 1,000-meter mark."
Zhao Xing glanced at it and couldn't help but feel a little strange.
He gleaned a lot of information from these words, the first being that Meng Kun had been practicing the Mountain Art for fifty years.
This proves that fifty years ago, Meng Kun had already reached the Second Rank of the Heavenly Luck Realm. Although his Official Rank was Third Grade, his strength was already at the Second Rank. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered to cultivate the mountain.
Those who hold the Second-Rank Heavenly Fate of the Agricultural Official and are in the Heavenly Fortune Realm usually go to the Spirit Mountain and blessed lands to cultivate in seclusion.
However, in the Earthly Advantage Faction Shennong, once they reach the Second Rank in cultivating "Houtu Return to Origin," they will cultivate Mountain Art and nurture a Spirit Mountain (or they can inherit someone else's Spirit Mountain).
Then, by borrowing the power of the earth, he broke through to the first-grade Fate Palace Realm.
Secondly, Meng Kun is indeed not good at Mountain Art.
It took fifty years for his teacher's mountain to grow seventy-five meters higher.
This is very slow, considering that Kun Mountain is only a thousand meters high and its level is usually no higher than a fifth-level Spirit Mountain.
"I remember there are spells in the Earth Treasury Art that enhance Spirit Mountain, so why is it so slow?" Zhao Xing wondered.
However, he didn't find out the answer; perhaps Meng Kun really wasn't suited for mountain farming.
Upon arriving at Kun Mountain, Zhao Xing chose a place called Stone Screen Courtyard to stay.
"There is also Secret Art Tower in the Kunyuan Academy, but if you want to comprehend the Earth Palace Art and the Earth Treasury Art, it is best to go to the dojo."
The "dojo" mentioned here does not refer to a dojo within the Military Realm, but rather a place for enlightenment.
"Kunyuan Dao Field has many Earth Palace, but there are only fifty-two top-level Earth Palace Art."
"The Earth Treasury Art is usually practiced in the ' Spirit Mountain Area,' and the relationship between the Mountain Art and the Earth Treasury Art is closely intertwined."
Meng Kun took out two square black tokens and handed them to Zhao Xing: "If you want to go to the Kun Yuan Underground Palace to comprehend the Earth Palace Art, take my tokens."
"If you want to go to the Spirit Mountain Area to comprehend the Earth Treasury Art, take the token of Gu Changqing, the Five Classics Doctor."
"But try to keep a low profile. If there are people, just wait in line. Don't let people know your background."
"Yes." Zhao Xing respectfully accepted the token. "To learn the Earth Palace Art, go to the Kunyuan Dao Field; to learn the Earth Treasury Art, go to the Spirit Mountain Area. Keep a low profile. I just don't know how long I can stay each time."
Meng Kun smiled and said, "Kunyuan Dao Field has no time limit because you have my dean's order. In the Spirit Mountain Area, as long as it's not one of those three mountains, you have no restrictions. If it is one of those three mountains, you will have to wait for allocation. Usually, you can be given Heavenly Timing a month to go to the three mountains to study."
"Thank you, Dean." Zhao Xing understood that this was the resource that Kunyuan Academy had promised him.
Since he has a clone here, consuming any treasures would be a waste; it is instead converted into time for meditating in this treasure land.
The time spent meditating in this precious place is also a resource, and even more valuable.
Like many seventh and eighth-tier treasures, the supply is quite substantial.
However, the quantity of such special resources for enlightenment is limited.
If you get a spot, others won't get one; if you get more, someone else will get less.
Especially precious are the rare resources, such as the sacred sites for comprehending the highest levels of Dharma.
Countless officials of the Fourth Grade coveted this resource.
Because it involves the promotion from mid-ranking to high-ranking Official Rank.
With the same merit and the same qualifications, if someone has mastered the top-level law, then the imperial court will naturally give priority to promoting the "Fourth Grade official who has mastered the top-level law"!
"Those Earthly Advantage Faction still get better treatment," Zhao Xing couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing this, Meng Kun nodded in satisfaction. Zhao Xing exclaimed, "This is exactly the effect I wanted!"
How can you snatch someone without giving something in return? In three to five years, when Zhao Xing himself has the time, he will definitely come to the Shennong Holy Land in person.
So, should we go to the sacred site of the Time Faction first, or the sacred site of the Earthly Advantage Faction? There's a lot to consider here.
"We're from the Earthly Advantage Faction, so we have many advantages. This is just an appetizer," Meng Kun said proudly. "You'll understand in time." Zhao Xing smiled and cupped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Dean Meng. I will remember it."
After Meng Kun left, Zhao Xing wasted no time and immediately began selecting top-tier methods.
"Top-tier Earth Palace Art, such as the Purgatory Earth Palace, the Netherflame Earth Palace, the Azure Wood Earth Palace, the Secluded God Earth Palace, and the Golden Sun Earth Palace, among others."
"However, only four top-tier Earth Palace Art point to the ultimate level."
"They are respectively the Vast Sea Earth Palace, the Mystic Water Earth Palace, the Great Void Earth Palace, and the Void Abyss Earth Palace."
"The four top-level techniques are all derived from the Ultimate Law — the Returning Ruins Earth Palace."
"If I want to repair them, my first choices Vast Sea Earth Palace and the Mystic Water Earth Palace."
"Because after the Liang King Rebellion, there will be unrest in Pinghai Province, unrest in the East Sea China Sea, and a counterattack by the Southern Barbarians, all of which will trigger a great disaster, namely, 'floods'," Zhao Xing pondered in his memory palace within his dream.
The Liang King Rebellion; he had to seize this opportunity to profit.
Besides promotion, there is a huge Invisibility benefit: fame.
What could be easier to gain fame than to make a contribution during the "Liang King Rebellion"?
This is a momentous event that has shaken the Nineteen Provinces and even the Four Seas and eight wastelands.
The prestige gained during the Liang King Rebellion Four Seas and has the widest reach.
Even a talented person like Mi Fu, who accomplished so much, was only famous in a few counties of Guangling Prefecture.
His "reputation value" is time-sensitive and geographically limited. If Mi Fu were to come to Pinghai Province, very few people would know him!
"I need to pave the way for becoming the Grand Minister of Agriculture now. If I can make contributions in the Liang King Rebellion, it will be a solid resume."
"With this rebellion, I will gain prestige not only in the army, but also in the court."
"It can be said to be applicable to all categories and regions, and it is permanently valid."
Reputation may seem intangible, but it can sometimes be a decisive factor.
Take Kunyuan Academy as an example. If Zhao Xing and several others simultaneously enter the field of vision of the Earthly Advantage Faction, the candidate with similar Nobility Title, Official Rank, strength, background and reputation will win!
"For him to become the leader of the three factions, the requirements in all aspects must be even more stringent."
"The Southern Barbarians are helping the Liang King launch a counterattack. With Ji Mingxian as their guide, their first target will be the Canglan River basin, which will then become a massive flood."
"If the East Sea and the Southern Barbarians join forces."
"Even Li Boqian might not be able to control the situation immediately. He is the Grand Minister of Agriculture of the Time Faction, and while he can handle other natural disasters, he is not so good at regulating water veins."
"Only with the assistance of powerful figures from the Earthly Advantage Faction can we save the people from their suffering."
"The Ultimate Law, the Returning Ruins Earth Palace, and the derived Vast Sea Earth Palace and Mystic Water Earth Palace, are among the best top-tier techniques for dealing with floods, and are most suitable for use in Jiang He and seas."
"Even the Vein Guiding Art in the Mystic Earth Art are not as simple and direct as this," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
He knows a high-level, perfected Mystic Earth Art called "Mysterious Water Concealment," which belongs to the Vein Guiding Art within the Mystic Earth Art.
However, its method of regulating the water veins in the Earth Vein is relatively gentle and gradual.
The Earth Palace Art involves first accumulating all this water.
The ultimate method of Earth Palace Art — Returning Ruins.
It was created based on ancient legends.
Legend has it that all the waters of the Four Seas flow into a bottomless Abyss called "Returning Ruins".
The ultimate move in the Returning Ruins Earth Palace is [Four Seas Return to Ruins].
Legend has it that this magic can drain the waters of the Four Seas, turning Vast Sea into mulberry fields.
Of course, legends are just legends. Even in the Spiritual Energy Era, the Returning Ruins Earth Palace could not drain the waters of the Four Seas.
However, it is powerful enough, which aligns with Zhao Xing's plans for the future.
"For the top-tier Earth Treasury Art, choose the [Kunyuan Art] and the [Earth Spirit Divine Treasury Art]."
"To cultivate the ultimate Earth Treasury Art [the Mystic Yellow Earth Opening Art], not a single element can be missing."
The Kunyuan Art possesses the magical power to reshape and recreate the earth, making barren land vibrant and restoring damaged landforms. The Earth Spirit Divine Treasury Art utilizes the spirit of the Earth Vein to form a barrier for a specific area, and this method is also related to the Way of Sacrifice.
There is a certain chance that the spirit of the earth will resonate with the ancient Community God Establishing Dao Law Body and be greatly enhanced.
Of course, this does not require consuming lifespan, because the Community God Establishing Dao Law Body has nothing to do with whether you invite the Invoking the Gods or not; it only appears during the great calamities of the Nineteen Provinces.
If the Earth Vein are severely damaged, even First-Turn of this method will trigger the appearance of the Earth Divine Art.
This is the blessing left behind by generations of Dynasty of Fate that worshipped the local deity in the land of the Nineteen Provinces.
"After a disaster comes reconstruction. The Kunyuan Art's ' Kunyuan Recreation ' and ' Mountains and Rivers Forever Solid ' can quickly restore the disaster area."
"The Earth Spirit Divine Treasury Art is a large-scale defensive spell."
"High-ranking individuals roam freely in places like Pinghai Province and Lüliang Province, often causing Earth Rift battles. However, with the protection of the Earth Spirit Divine Treasury Art, the destructive power of these powerful individuals is not as great."
"If I could obtain any one of the Four Divine Artifacts, I could easily protect a prefecture at the Fourth Grade rank. However, three of these artifacts have been lost. The Great Zhou only obtained the Earth Mirror, one of the Four Divine Artifacts," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
"What is certain is that there is one piece in the Dragon Court Ancient Land during this period, but the location of the other two pieces is unknown, whether they are still in their original places," Zhao Xing pondered.
If we can find the other three types of Earthly Advantage Faction artifacts.
I'm afraid even Meng Kun would willingly kneel down and act as a stool for him, letting him step on Meng Kun's back to get off the flying boat.
Furthermore, Meng Kun would firmly support him in becoming the leader of the Earthly Advantage Faction, and anyone who opposed him would be sent to meet their ancestors.
"I wonder if we'll have enough time," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
The top-tier Heavenly Timing Techniques require two cultivation methods: the Profound Heaven Thunder Law: the Suppression Prison Chapter and the Cloud Gate. He also wanted to learn Li Boqian's three ultimate moves.
Now here, there are four more top-tier Earthly Advantage Method.
If you devote more attention to it, your speed of understanding will inevitably decrease.
"Ideally, I should have mastered it before the thirty-third year of the Jingxin Calendar. Just mastering it is enough; I don't need to aspire to reach a certain level," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
After all, the mid-level battle in this life was brought forward by three years. If things were to proceed in this manner, Liang King would have rebelled in the thirty-third year.
"It would be best if this old Deng rebelled two years later, or even better, in thirty-five years. Speaking of which, should I ask Old Liu to step up his efforts? Forget it, forget it, lest we make things worse." Zhao Xing shook his head.
If he were to force the Liang King to rebel prematurely, he wouldn't be able to accomplish much with his current strength.
He would never dare to participate in such a major event without mastering the highest level of magic; he would rather hide than participate!
If he masters a top-tier technique and combines it with the Ten Thousand Laws Clone Avatar and the Derivation God Art, then he will have some leverage to participate. At the very least, his ability to survive will be greatly enhanced, and he won't have to take too much risk.
"Lock!"
Zhao Xing sealed the memory palace and then opened his eyes.
He doesn't think about future plans under normal circumstances. He only activates them at certain times and with specific information. Otherwise, he has to Entering the Dream to learn about the overall plan.
"Let's go fix the Earth Palace Art first!"
Zhao Xing didn't plan to rest either. In any case, Heaven Derivation King was keeping an eye on him. If the main body didn't sleep, neither could the clone.
So he flew out of Stone Screen Courtyard that very day and went to Kunyuan Dao Field to study the ' Vast Sea Earth Palace ' and ' Mystic Water Earth Palace '.
"Learn whichever is faster first, master it before you talk about improvement."
On February 21st of the 31st year of the Jingxin Calendar, Zhao Xing began to study two Earth Palace Art at the Kunyuan Dao Field.
At the same time, he continued to study the [Heavenly Thunder Finger] technique in the Profound Heaven Thunder Law at the Tianyuan Prefecture Branch of the Mystic Heaven Academy.
Under the relentless urging of the Heaven Derivation King, the main body cultivated the Derivation God Art.
It requires multitasking, and the three cultivation paths are completely different, each extremely difficult.
Zhao Xing's comprehension of the Heavenly Timing, location, Earthly Advantage Spells slowed down.
However, his cultivation of the Derivation God Art continued to advance rapidly.
Because the Fate Soul is the prerequisite for all cultivation, Zhao Xing would rather slow down the cultivation speed of the Heavenly Timing and Earthly Advantage Method in order to ensure that he has enough energy to cultivate the Derivation God Art Technique. It doesn't matter if he doesn't learn the Heavenly Timing Earthly Advantage Spells. If he really can't learn them, he can learn them later. But Derivation God Art, he will go crazy later!
So on May 15th, Zhao Xing successfully cultivated his fifth Fate Star!
"Boom!"
The fifth Fate Star appeared in the abdomen.
At this moment, the five stars of his Fate Soul merged into one, their light illuminating his Sea of Consciousness. Suddenly, Zhao Xing's Fate Soul split into five.
Each Fate Soul became a little smaller, but with the presence of the Fate Star, none of the Fate Soul felt any discomfort.
"It's truly amazing." Zhao Xing was immersed in this division. "The five Fate Soul can combine or separate, and their soul power can continue to grow."
Five stars, Zhao Xing is still the fastest, but he still doesn't know it.
Taking advantage of his breakthrough, Zhao Xing asked Heaven Derivation King for leave.
This time, he wasn't going home to visit relatives, but rather to consume the second Origin Spirit Fruit.
He obtained a total of three Origin Spirit Fruit at the Great Dream Academy.
One of them was given to Liu Tianning.
The other one, which he had taken intermittently over the previous year, had brought his Fate Soul to the late stage of the Fourth Grade.
With the cultivation of the Derivation God Art, at the four-star level, Fate Soul will be a perfect Fourth Grade.
However, after breaking through to the fifth star, the Fate Soul splits, and each Fate Soul drops to the mid -Fourth Grade.
The cultivation of the Derivation God Art enabled Zhao Xing's five Fate Soul to be separated and combined.
When combined, Fourth Grade are perfect; when separated, they are only at the Fourth Grade stage.
After cultivating the Derivation God Art to the fifth star, Zhao Xing consumed the Origin Spirit Fruit, which greatly increased his cultivation speed.
The date was July 10th of the 31st year of the Jingxin Calendar.
The third Primordial Origin Spirit Fruit was completely digested. "The Ninth Order Origin Spirit Fruit allowed three of my Fate Soul to reach the strength of the Fourth Grade perfection from the mid -Fourth Grade."
"The other two remained at the late stage of the Fourth Grade."
"Ninth Order Origin Spirit Fruit, that's really awesome," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
Especially when combined with the Derivation God Art, he made almost no waste.
If he had taken the third one, the Origin Spirit Fruit wouldn't have allowed his Fate Soul to break through to the Third Grade; it would have only made his Fourth Grade Fate Soul have more total soul power, a more resilient soul, and stronger resistance.
To put it simply, the limit of his Fourth Grade Fate Soul will be higher than that of an ordinary Fourth Grade Fate Soul. This is a characteristic brought about by the Origin Spirit Fruit, and it is also a difference in individual Fate Soul.
However, it will never be like it is now, where everything is absorbed and a large portion is wasted.
"Five Fate Soul are equivalent to five lives. Even if I encounter a soul-based attack technique, one of my life souls can be used to take my place. But in reality, as long as one Fate Soul remains, I am not truly dead."
"Because the core of my Fate Soul is actually those five Fate Star. As long as there are restorative treasures like the Origin Soul Liquid and the Origin Spirit Fruit, I can be brought back to life!"
"This is the power of the Ultimate Soul Law!"
Two days later, on July 12th, Zhao Xing drank ten of the thirty-six bottles of Origin Soul Liquid given to him by Heaven Derivation King.
This allowed the remaining two Fate Soul to also reach the Fourth Grade perfect realm.
"Fifth star."
Heaven Derivation King watched from afar.
"The speed is still very fast, saving half the time compared to Liu Tianning, and Heavenly Timing compared to the historical record."
"Actually, this also takes into account the two-week vacation he was given in between, sigh."
However, this record cannot be interpreted in this way, and Heaven Derivation King cannot force Zhao Xing to cultivate, lest Zhao Xing develop a rebellious mentality.
"A little relaxation is necessary. Anyway, he's still 10 Heavenly Timing ahead of the first person in history. As long as he can surpass that in the next two stars, that's fine," Heaven Derivation King comforted himself.
The time span for the sixth and seventh stars is a bit too long.
Like Liu Tianning, it took him half a year to go from four stars to five stars.
However, it took one year and five months to go from the fifth star to the sixth star.
It took two years, one month, and four days to go from the sixth star to the seventh star.
The first layer took a total of five years to complete, and Zhao Xing's current speed is more than double that of Liu Tianning.
"It depends on whether he can maintain it. The sixth and seventh stars are the most difficult. If he wants to break the historical record for the first level, he has to master the first level within two and a half years."
The record for the first person in history is two years, five months, and ten days.
Zhao Xing so far have all surpassed historical records.
The Fate Soul broke through to the fifth star, splitting into five Fate Soul, and all five were perfected.
Zhao Xing's speed in comprehending magic has increased again.
"The Cloud Gate Art points directly to the ultimate goal. You already have the foundation of the Devouring Cloud Art, which aligns with the ultimate path of the Cloud Method."
"Cloud Method is ever-changing; the Devouring Cloud Art can transform into clouds of soldiers, blood, poison, and thunder—and the Ultimate Law, ' Yun Tian Dao,' aims to replace the Way of Heaven with Cloud Method!"
At this time, the one giving Zhao Xing a lecture was Sima Yunhai.
Because Geng Shouchang's top-tier Cloud Method is not "Cloud Gate", but another technique with relatively lower difficulty, "Blood Soldier Cloud".
Geng Shouchang's cultivation level was not high either, only at the Third-Turn level, so there was no way to teach him.
Therefore, the important task of teaching fell to Sima Yunhai.
"Teacher Sima, could you slow down a bit? I couldn't see it clearly." Zhao Xing sat upright on a cloud, looking at the golden Auspicious Cloud that had gathered in front of him.
The golden Cloud Gate, radiating divine light, seemed to contain all the mysteries of the Great Dao, attracting people's attention.
Seeing this, Sima Yunhai smiled slightly, "Alright, come on, let's take another look."
"Thank you." Zhao Xing looked at it intently.
Sima Yunhai and Heng Yuan originally went to the main hospital.
Heng Yuan went there and never came back, supposedly because he was tied up with important matters.
However, Sima Yunhai put aside all his affairs and rushed back to the Tianyuan Prefecture branch in April.
e
Mental strength enters.
Because he's skilled in Cloud Method!
If we could train Zhao Xing, wouldn't that be the perfect opportunity to humiliate him?!
Therefore, Sima Yunhai taught with utmost enthusiasm.
Anyone who didn't know better would think Zhao Xing was his son.
Geng Shouchang shook his head repeatedly at the sight.
Because this old guy made a detailed plan for Zhao Xing's cultivation time.
Of these, Sima Yunhai occupied eight hours, while Geng Shouchang could only occupy two hours.
The other two hours are Zhao Xing's free time.
But even during those two hours, as long as Zhao Xing wasn't asleep, he wouldn't sleep either.
What are you doing if you're not sleeping?
They came over to offer their concern and, incidentally, boast about how awesome their Time Faction was, instilling this kind of idea in Zhao Xing.
At first, Zhao Xing was unaware of the feud between Sima Yunhai and Liu Tianning, as well as the existence of that 'Senior Brother Pang'.
After the New Year, he chatted with Old Liu and learned why Sima Yunhai was so enthusiastic.
However, he pretended not to know.
Regardless of his actions or intentions, Zhao Xing was grateful for Sima Yunhai's kindness.
After all, Sima Yunhai had truly put his heart into teaching him.
To be honest, it wasn't exactly malicious intent; they just wanted to brainwash themselves, pull themselves into the Time Faction's camp, and carry out their revenge against Liu Tianning.
This is no big deal to Old Master Zhao. Do you think I can be brainwashed by you?
It doesn't exist!
"Did you understand?" Sima Yunhai asked.
"I'll give it a try." Zhao Xing rose from the clouds.
"Okay, you can give it a try. It's okay if you fail, take your time." Sima Yunhai said kindly, his face full of benevolence.
Time flies, and before we knew it, it was the end of August in the thirty-first year of the Jingxin Calendar.
At this moment, Zhao Xing's Cloud Gate Art was finally learned by the original body first.
In September, more good news arrived.
This master's "Profound Heaven Prison Suppressing Thunder Law" has reached the Third-Turn.
Even his clones could barely unleash the Heavenly Thunder Finger!
"What an amazing talent!" Geng Shouchang exclaimed inwardly as he watched this scene.
The use of a clone and the use of the main body are completely different concepts!
It should be understood that, theoretically, the Ten Thousand Laws Clone can be infinite.
Even now, Zhao Xing can still conjure up a hundred clones!
Now, even the clone can unleash the Heavenly Thunder Finger. Although this is the strongest clone, it is very difficult to unleash it, and it only has the power of one strike. But it is still possible to do it!
The rest is simply a matter of perfecting the Ten Thousand Laws Clone in the future. By working on the upper limit of magical energy and materials, we can achieve the goal of having all one hundred avatars unleash the Heavenly Thunder Finger!
What does this mean? Top-tier techniques are the standard for Third Grade!
Who can withstand a hundred Third Grade Heavenly Thunder Finger strikes?
"No wonder Pang Xianyun lost, and lost so convincingly that he even went against the grain." Geng Shouchang looked at Zhao Xing and realized how terrifying Liu Tianning was.
How strong must Liu Tianning be, who has already cultivated a top-level Dharma body?
In December of the thirty-first year of the Jingxin Calendar, the main body cultivated the Cloud Gate Art to the Third-Turn, and the specially crafted clone in the Tianyuan Prefecture could also Cloud Gate Art.
However, Zhao Xing did not reveal this, because he saw through Sima Yunhai's intentions. If he mastered the technique, Sima Yunhai probably wouldn't continue to teach him diligently, but would only brainwash him all day long.
Therefore, Zhao Xing kept asking about cultivation, and all of Sima Yunhai's brainwashing went in one ear and out the other.
Sima Yunhai wasn't in a hurry, as Cloud Method was inherently more difficult than thunder magic.
How long has it been for Zhao Xing? A little over a year. It would be strange if he succeeded, and normal if he didn't.
Good news came from the Mystic Heaven Academy branch: the avatar at the Kunyuan Academy also achieved a breakthrough.
December 15th, the thirty-first year of the Jingxin Calendar.
Kunyuan Dao Field.
"The Vast Sea Earth Palace, this is the Vast Sea Earth Palace."
Zhao Xing revealed a slight smile.
April arrived, and from then until December, he finally comprehended the top-level technique, [Vast Sea Earth Palace].
Moreover, it is at the stage of the main body undergoing Third-Turn and the clone undergoing First-Turn.
"Give it a try!"
Zhao Xing's clone descended to a place ten miles away from Kun Mountain, where there was an artificial lake.
"The Vast Sea Earth Palace!" Zhao Xing pointed.
Buzz~
Beneath the artificial lake, a deep blue Earth Palace emerges.
Splash!
Within three breaths, all the water in the artificial lake vanished, disappearing into the ground and being collected within the Vast Sea Earth Palace.
"The artificial lake is 1,000 square kilometers in size and has a water level of 200 meters. Such an area and water volume are already extremely exaggerated, but it is still not enough in the face of top-level laws. The Vast Sea Earth Palace can hold at least a hundred times that amount."
At this moment, all the water Vast Sea Earth Palace has been collected.
"If a flood occurs, there are two options: one is to leave the location of the Vast Sea Earth Palace untouched, wait until all the floodwaters have been controlled, and then release and allocate the water."
"Or let the lower- and middle-ranking Agricultural Official collect the Cloud Rain Pearl and eventually return them to the areas with at least water."
"The second option is an emergency response plan. The flood is too severe, so we can't think about things too far ahead. We should immediately let the Vast Sea Earth Palace sink deep into the Earth Vein and pour into the fire veins."
"However, this will cause the soil in this area to become cold and damp. In winter, large areas of frozen soil will appear. This is because the balance of the five elements has been broken, and it will take some time to adjust," Zhao Xing summarized.
"How to weigh the options depends on the situation at the time. Human beings take precedence over everything else. If the people are behind us and the flood is too severe, then we can only destroy the environment first and then deal with it later."
"If it's just one flood and we have enough manpower, we can send people to absorb the water and place appropriate water storage locations."
After Zhao Xing had a chance to practice, he raised both hands.
"Put!"
Splash!
The water flow reappeared in the artificial lake in a very short time.
"Not a bit more, not a bit less." Zhao Xing carefully sensed it. "The Earth Vein haven't been damaged either."
Once Zhao Xing mastered the art of creating clones, he could create two. After mastering the Vast Sea Earth Palace, ordinary floods were no longer a problem for him.
If a hundred clones were to simultaneously Vast Sea Earth Palace, an emergency response plan would be adopted.
His clones continued to the Vast Sea Earth Palace, sinking deep into the earth, and no amount of water could submerge the city behind him.
On December 29th, Meng Kun returned to Kun Mountain to inquire about Zhao Xing's cultivation progress.
"Dean, I have mastered the technique of the Vast Sea Earth Palace," Zhao Xing told him truthfully.
"Hmm? Is it controlled by the clone or by the main body?" Meng Kun looked on expectantly.
"The main body Third-Turn, while the clone undergoes First-Turn."
"So fast?" Meng Kun was surprised. How long had Zhao Xing been learning?
It's only been ten months since I came to the Kunyuan Academy.
Mastering top-level techniques in ten months, and even Third-Turn?
Seeing Meng Kun's surprised face, Zhao Xing knew that his speed must be quite fast.
The reason he was able to progress so quickly was that he had reached the six-star level in the Derivation God Art in early December.
Fate Soul becomes stronger, the effect of the clone's comprehension naturally becomes stronger as well.
"Don't tell anyone, lest you arouse jealousy," Meng Kun instructed.
Being too extraordinary isn't necessarily a good thing, and Meng Kun still didn't want to see Zhao Xing show his talent too early.
He's only Fifth Grade official on the surface, yet he wields top-level legal authority? If word got out, it would probably cause a sensation.
"Thank you for the reminder, Dean. I will remember it." Zhao Xing nodded.
Having mastered top-level techniques in less than a year, he knew this speed was too astonishing and there was no need to make it public to avoid trouble.
Zhao Xing didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble still came knocking on his door.
February 20th, the thirty-second year of New Splendor Era.
Zhao Xing was stopped outside the Secret Art Tower of the Tianyuan Prefecture Branch.
"Are you Classics Scholar. Zhao Xing, a scholar of classical texts?"
The man who spoke was dressed in Phoenix Feather Magic Robe, wore High Sun Crown, and held a book in his hand. His tone was unfriendly.
Zhao Xing didn't recognize the man, but he could tell that he was a Fourth Grade official, so he pretended not to hear and walked outside.
"Halt!" A smartly dressed man again blocked his way. "My name is Zhou Yun, and I am also Classics Scholar. I have no idea who you went through to get such preferential treatment!"
"You only need to give one lecture per month, which will occupy a full five days of your time for studying the Secret Art Tower!"
Zhou Yun's tone was a mixture of anger and sarcasm.
Swish~
Zhao Xing ignored the man completely and sped away.
Seeing that he couldn't stop him, Zhou Yun shouted, "You can run for a while, but you can't run forever!"
Sure enough, in the following days, a large number of rumors emerged one after another.
Because Zhao Xing, this Classics Scholar, was only a Fifth Grade official, had no magical or theoretical achievements, and lacked the qualifications to have rendered any merit to the Mystic Heaven Academy branch.
Even with such a light teaching workload, it still takes up five days of the Secret Art Tower's cultivation resources each month.
As a result of the protest by this Classics Scholar named Zhou Yun, the story quickly spread.
Seven days later, the situation escalated further:
Zhao Xing was a disciple of Liu Tianning and cultivated the Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet.
Zhao Xing's true self is in charge of the Community God Hall in Chongming Prefecture; he is not here in person, only his clone has come.
These two points were immediately discovered.
"Boom!" The Tianyuan Prefecture Branch immediately erupted in public opinion.
From the lowest Eighth Grade to the highest Fourth Grade, a group of people rushed aggressively towards Zhao Xing's residence in the Mirror Lake Courtyard, intending to drag Zhao Xing out and give him an explanation.
"Zhao Xing, get out here! You traitor!"
"Shameless! You clearly practice the 'Egoist 'True Self Faction, yet you study the teachings of my Time Faction!"
"How infuriating! What law could he possibly know? He's just here to gain experience. And someone actually agreed to such an unreasonable request! It's outrageous!"
"You dared to Cross the Sea Under Camouflage and Classics Scholar in this academy for a year! You have utterly disgraced this title!"
"If even one of Zhao Xing's clones can become Classics Scholar, what value does this position hold?"
"Come out! Get out here!"
"I challenge you to Great Dao Contention!"
"Damn heretics, traitors, come out!"
The crowd was outraged!
A group of Fourth Grade and Fifth Grade, along with unsuspecting sixth, seventh, and eighth-rank officials, surrounded the Mirror Lake Courtyard.
This posture suggests they intend to devour Zhao Xing alive.
However, Zhao Xing's clone was not there at all.
He noticed something was wrong these past few days and went to find Geng Shouchang and Sima Yunhai.
Geng Shouchang said, "True Self planned to take you to the main hospital at the beginning of the year, but plans change, you—"
You met Li Boqian.
Geng Shouchang couldn't explain it either, but Zhao Xing understood immediately.
Geng Shouchang continued, "As Classics Scholar, you were recommended by the three of us, and Lu Chunhua agreed to give you these resources, but at that time we only agreed on two to four months."
"Now, more than a year has passed, and although the timing was cleverly arranged, it was eventually discovered."
Zhao Xing nodded. The sudden arrival of another person, occupying important resources, and the fact that this person seemed unworthy of his position, would naturally provoke opposition.
To be honest, the fact that this only happened today is already a testament to the skillful handling by the three big shots.
"This matter is simple," Sima Yunhai said. "Zhao Xing, just announce now that you have become my disciple, and my only master. You will immediately become my disciple, and all the rumors will disappear."
Sima Yunhai seized the opportunity to say that he had always wanted Zhao Xing to become his true disciple.
This was clearly an idea. Zhao Xing didn't say anything, but looked at Geng Shouchang.
"It's not a big problem," Geng Shouchang said. "You were recommended by the three of us, so we have the right to recommend you. We just need to have Lu Chunhua announce the recommendation process."
The regulations are in accordance with the rules, but these three people will inevitably be criticized behind their backs.
Furthermore, just because the process is fine doesn't mean there are no problems with public opinion.
Zhao Xing's appointment as Classics Scholar Scriptures at the Mystic Heaven Academy using his Ten Thousand Laws Clone involved factional disputes.
Even if the official procedures are correct, many people will still cause trouble for Zhao Xing and force him to leave.
"But people will keep chasing after you to hurl insults, and others will challenge you to ' Great Dao Contention ' until you're forced to leave on your own," Sima Yunhai said. "Zhao Xing, why don't you listen to me—"
"Teachers, if I remain indifferent, will this matter gradually subside once the storm has passed?" Zhao Xing asked.
"It's unlikely. You'll have to keep cultivating under that kind of pressure." Sima Yunhai shook his head.
"How about switching to the main hospital?" Geng Shouchang asked.
"This is how it is in Tianyuan Prefecture, the main academy?" Sima Yunhai laughed. "It's just that there aren't many Third Grade here, and we've already made arrangements to switch to the main academy. Even you and I would be challenged to a [Great Dao Competition].
"I can handle the pressure," Zhao Xing said calmly. "I don't mind being a coward for two years."
"Can you hold back?" Geng Shouchang asked. Zhao Xing's clones can now unleash top-tier spells. Can he really refrain from making a move?
"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded. If a fight could solve the problem, he wouldn't mind.
However, this isn't a question of whether or not to fight. Even if he wins, it won't resolve the fundamental conflict. It will only incite more people to take on the challenge.
There are plenty of people who are fearless and willing to die. One by one, they come to their deaths. Does Zhao Xing think he can keep killing them? Does he still want to stay in the Time Faction Sect?
Zhao Xing said, "Heavenly Timing, Earthly Advantage Institute, and True Self are just different concepts, not factional struggles. I don't fight such pointless battles."
"Well said." Just then, outside the door of the three people, clouds suddenly appeared and expanded, and two figures walked out from them.
Upon seeing this, Geng Shouchang and Sima Yunhai immediately stood up.
"Greetings to the Grand Minister of Agriculture."
"Greetings to the Grand Minister of Agriculture."
Zhao Xing also got up.
Li Boqian and Lu Chunhua entered the lobby.
"This kid knows it all, so why don't some people understand?" Li Boqian glanced at Sima Yunhai.
"Chunhua, the division has been too noisy lately. I can't even play chess in peace."
"What should we do?"
"The student council will handle it," Lu Chunhua said respectfully. "Please rest assured, teacher."
"Take those two recommenders to Mirror Lake Courtyard."
"Yes."
Lu Chunhua immediately left with Geng Shouchang and Sima Yunhai.
Li Boqian smiled and looked at Zhao Xing: "How do you feel?"
Zhao Xing knew that Li Boqian was asking him about what had happened to him in the past few days.
Faced with insults, unreasonable demands, and the challenge of a life- Great Dao Contention," what are your thoughts?
"It's easy to defeat the bandits in the mountains, but difficult to defeat the bandits in their hearts," Zhao Xing said. "Even if I defeat one, countless others will come to stop me, because their beliefs are deeply ingrained and cannot be broken by force."
"Well said," Li Boqian agreed. "Unifying the three factions is destined to be a bumpy road; it won't be easy to do."
"The situation you're facing right now isn't too serious yet. Geng and Lu can easily handle it without my instructions. But there will definitely be more serious troubles to come in the future."
"If someone of Geng or Lu's stature were to oppose you, even I would find it difficult to handle."
"From now on, you are destined to face difficulties, insults, and attacks from many people. These are all things you will encounter on this path. When you lose your composure in the future, I hope you will remember what I said today."
"Whether it's the Time Law or the True Self Method, it should not be used for internal strife, but rather for the benefit of the people and the country."
"I have learned a lot from you," Zhao Xing nodded.
In Tianyuan Prefecture, Lu Chunhua quickly stepped in to quell the incident.
However, as previously speculated, the official procedures are not the main issue; factional infighting is the real problem.
The intervention of Lu, Geng, and Sima only resolved the legitimacy of Zhao Xing's Classics Scholar; it did not quell the factional disputes.
Zhao Xing still receives a lot of insults every day, and even has stones thrown at his Mirror Lake Courtyard. There are also a lot of people who are looking for him all the time, wanting to start Great Dao Contention.
In January of the thirty-second year of the Jingxin Calendar, more than two thousand people challenged Zhao Xing, and all of them were Fourth Grade, some even coming from other branches.
The reason why theft is still a daily nuisance is that spring is here.
Zhao Xing.
In March, the number increased to a thousand.
In April, there were 1,500 people.
By May, the situation had finally calmed down, because Zhao Xing had been ignoring it and not responding to its taunts.
Those who were cursing were tired of cursing, and those who were blocking were tired of blocking.
As for a small number, they still refuse to give up.
Because they are the beneficiaries of the existing system, and Zhao Xing's appearance has threatened their interests.
Zhao Xing ignored this completely, and simply made a note of certain troublemakers in his notebook.
"Zhou Cheng, Yang Bóguāng, Zhong Haiming, Wu Chen, Cui You— "
In his memory palace, Zhao Xing memorized the names of more than a dozen people.
"Hmph, among the Tianyuan Prefecture, there are some who shout the loudest, and a few of them have already pledged allegiance to Liang King. Once you few betray us, I'll be the first to crush you all!"
It's as if only they're capable of investigating; Old Master Zhao is a powerful and influential man in Pinghai Province.
It was easy to find out their background.
An investigation revealed that many of them were future "traitors."
"Bear with it for now. Once I've mastered my skills, I'll kill you all!"
Coincidentally, Zhao Xing also encountered a similar incident to that of the Mystic Heaven Academy in the Spirit Mountain Area of the Kunyuan Academy.
However, the Earthly Advantage Faction's rejection of the True Self Faction was not as severe.
Furthermore, Meng Kun used his and Gu Changqing's own resources and did not seize other people's resources.
If there is no conflict of interest, then this matter is much smaller.
However, as Li Boqian said, once he reaches a higher position in the future, he probably won't be so amicable anymore.
The 32nd year of the Jingxin Calendar, the fourth day of the tenth month.
The Earth Spirit Divine Treasury Art has been mastered! The main body has Third-Turn, and the clone has undergone First-Turn.
Reconstruction is more difficult than destruction, and the Earth Spirit Divine Treasury Art is also the Earthly Advantage Method that Zhao Xing Xinghua spent the most time on.
At this point, Zhao Xing has mastered four top-level techniques.
They are respectively:
The Suppression Prison Chapter of the Profound Heaven Thunder Law, "Heavenly Thunder Finger"
The Cloud Gate in the Yun Tian Dao.
The Returning Ruins Earth Palace Vast Sea Earth Palace Method in the Guixu Underground Palace Earth Spirit Divine Treasury Art in the Profound Yellow Earth Splitting.
"The four ultimate techniques, which point directly to the final level, were all mastered in October of the thirty-second year of the Jingxin Calendar. They were all at the Third-Turn, while the clone was at the First-Turn the top level."
There may be a sequence in time, but the level of achievement is the same; the main issue is the allocation of energy.
For top-tier magic users who have reached the Third-Turn, advancing to the Fourth-Turn is extremely difficult.
It requires a lot of time and effort to comprehend, and Zhao Xing had no chance of learning it in a short time. Therefore, after learning the Third-Turn of the top-level technique, he stopped comprehending it and moved on to the next one.
Now that he has mastered the four methods, Zhao Xing has logged off his two clones and no longer studies them every day.
Because his first level of the Derivation God Art has reached its most crucial moment.
On the fifth day of the tenth month, Zhao Xing began his attempt to reach the seventh star.
"Boom!"
I have watched the Mystic Rune Stars rotate countless times.
On the Star Platform, Zhao Xing stood with his hands behind his back, the planets in front of him constantly magnifying and rotating faster.
Countless star rings flashed in his eyes, and seven stars appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.
The stars pressed down on his Sea of Consciousness, but at this moment, this pressure had no effect on Zhao Xing at all.
"Come on, seventh star!"
Zhao Xing looked at the seven Mystic Rune Stars.
The Sheng School attacks the mountain.
But in the final stage, a seventh star reappeared.
Condensing the seventh star presents pressure dozens of times greater than the combined pressure of all the previous stars!
"Boom!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Seven Mystic Rune Stars continuously bombarded Zhao Xing's Soul Body.
Every collision is a clash of the soul's path!
Splitting Fate Soul is a defying act against the heavens. To reach a limit that others cannot attain, one must withstand the test of the way of the soul.
The attack of the Mystic Rune Stars contained the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, constantly attacking Zhao Xing's Fate Soul.
If you can withstand it and accommodate the first star, then you have embarked on the ultimate path of the soul.
"Boom boom boom~"
Under such extremely high-frequency attacks, the six-star Fate Soul quickly developed a crack.
However, during the impact, Zhao Xing repeatedly tried to contain those star-shaped patterns.
Each time he was knocked away, Zhao Xing would correct his posture, and the secret runes on his Fate Soul would adjust accordingly.
"After two years, my understanding has reached a critical point, and now is the time to verify it." Zhao Xing concentrated intently.
The cycle of crashes and subsequent self-repairs quickly progressed from the fifth day of October to the tenth day of October.
At this moment, Zhao Xing also had no choice but to take Origin Soul Liquid to replenish his energy.
He swallowed bottle after bottle of Origin Soul Liquid.
"Only five bottles left." Heaven Derivation King stared nervously. "This kid never drank this much when he broke through before, but this time he ate all five bottles in one go."
Clearly, Heaven Derivation King understood that Zhao Xing had reached a critical moment.
If this attempt fails, who knows when the next one will be.
The failure of the long-prepared breakthrough is a serious blow to one's Dao heart and can lead to self-doubt.
Even if one's resolve to follow the Dao remains steadfast, it is easy to lose oneself in this process of self-correction, thus obscuring the Dao that was originally close to being complete.
More errors and omissions have appeared, and it will take a lot of time to fix them.
The time came to the 19th day of the tenth month of the thirty-second year of the Jingxin Calendar.
At that moment, all seven Mystic Rune Stars on the Star Platform were completely still, radiating dazzling light.
"It's a success?" Heaven Derivation King was immediately excited, because there were only three possible reasons why the Mystic Rune Stars would stop.
One option is to actively press the button.
Secondly, if the cultivator faints and can no longer find the target, then the practice will naturally stop.
Third, I have grasped the essence of the first level.
Zhao Xing neither collapsed nor pressed the button, there's only one possibility.
"He actually succeeded!"
Heaven Derivation King sensed a powerful soul force rising in front of him.
In his excitement, he plucked out a handful of his beard.
"On the 23rd day of the tenth month of the 30th year of the Jingxin Calendar, I began to cultivate the Soul Refining Chapter the Derivation God Art."
"On the 19th day of the 10th month of the 32nd year of the Jingxin Calendar, the first level of cultivation was completed."
"Two years apart by four days, amazing, truly amazing!" Heaven Derivation King exclaimed, trembling. "The most talented cultivator of the Divine Derivation God Art in history has appeared!"
"Perhaps in the future, he will be able to decipher the most mysterious Divine Derivation God Stele!"
When everything settled down, Zhao Xing swallowed the remaining five bottles of Origin Soul Liquid in one gulp to restore his soul power.
Upon seeing Heaven Derivation King appear, Zhao Xing descended from the Star Platform. "Greetings, Heaven Derivation King."
"Zhao Xing, you've broken through?"
"Yes, I have fulfilled my mission," Zhao Xing replied. "Thanks to Your Highness's guidance, I hope I have not disgraced Your Highness's name."
"Hahahaha." Heaven Derivation King burst into laughter. "Do you know where you rank in terms of cultivation speed?"
"How many?"
*Hahaha, you've mastered the first level of cultivation the fastest in this dynasty, breaking your teacher Liu Guanning's five-year record.
"Furthermore, you have broken the historical record of the Derivation God Art, which has stood for over 30,000 years, pushing the timeline back to within two years!"
"What?" Zhao Xing was also somewhat surprised when he heard this information.
Did I break my own record?
Then what the hell are you doing, nagging me like this every day?
Zhao Xing was speechless. He had thought he was falling behind and was puzzled: How come there are so many geniuses in the Great Zhou Dynasty? Are they really that strong?
But now that I think about it, Heaven Derivation King never said that he was lagging behind; he just kept urging him on, creating an atmosphere that made him seem like he was lagging behind.
"No wonder Luo King keeps losing to you in bets, who can beat you?" Zhao Xing thought to himself.
Heaven Derivation King laughed for a while after seeing Zhao Xing's expression before stopping, "Alright, don't blame me. Who told you to break the record on your first breakthrough? This was a chance to witness history, how could I let it pass?"
"Your Highness truly has good intentions," Zhao Xing replied.
"Speaking of which, how many Fate Soul can you split after your breakthrough?" Heaven Derivation King looked at Zhao Xing. "I feel that your breakthrough is somewhat different."
Liu Tianning's Divine Soul evolved into 10,086 forms, and the first level of the Derivation God Art was perfected.
However, in Heaven Derivation King's perception, Zhao Xing's breakthrough was very different from Liu Tianning's breakthrough.
"My teacher and I chose different paths," Zhao Xing replied. "He may have differentiated into many Fate Soul, but I only differentiated from the main soul into the appropriate ones."
"Hmm?" Heaven Derivation King was taken aback. "Only six paths were created?"
