The Soul Extinguishing Bell, Dream Walking Art, and Year Thirty-Three of the Jingxin Calendar! (Extended chapter)

"Yes, I only divided into six paths." Zhao Xing nodded. "The main soul and the six divided souls occupy one Fate Star."

Upon hearing this, Heaven Derivation King frowned immediately. "How could such a situation have occurred?"

He also cultivates the Derivation God Art. He and the others, including Liu Tianning, all have all seven stars residing in their main soul.

The main soul is called the "Divine Soul," and by using the Divine Soul soul to generate branch souls, the number can be endless.

Of course, theory is endless, but practice has its limits, and these limits vary from person to person.

For example, the first layer of the Heaven Derivation King's transformation resulted in 8,100 paths.

But Liu Tianning's exceeded ten thousand.

This difference is only in terms of innate Fate Soul, but the key to cultivating the Derivation God Art —the Seven Stars of Fate Soul —is the same for all of them.

That is, all the Fate Star are within the Divine Soul, which is the main soul.

There has never been anyone like Zhao Xing, whose seven Fate Soul stars are completely separated.

"You won't—" Heaven Derivation King looked at Zhao Xing, somewhat worried that he Going Berserk.

After all, such a situation has never occurred before.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, I have not Going Berserk," Zhao Xing said.

"Let me take a look." After saying this, Heaven Derivation King stopped moving, and a phantom flew out from his body.

It is formless and intangible, invisible to the naked eye, and can only be seen using Heaven's Eye Art or Bright Eyes similar spells.

This is Fate Soul leaving the body.

Characteristics after reaching the Third-Rank Yuan Soul.

"I am now going to enter your Sea of Consciousness. Do not resist, or you may easily hurt me," Heaven Derivation King.

It wasn't that she wanted to hurt Zhao Xing, but rather that she was afraid of getting hurt herself.

If it were a Fourth Grade Heaven Derivation King, entering someone's Sea of Consciousness would allow him to easily annihilate their Fate Soul.

Because Fourth Grade are generally unable to cultivate their souls, they are relatively fragile.

However, Zhao Xing was different; he was the fastest cultivator of the first level of the Derivation God Art in history.

He consumed the Origin Spirit Fruit (Heaven Derivation King knew about the Origin Spirit Fruit) and the Origin Soul Liquid. After completing the Divine Soul Seven Stars Chart, Heaven Derivation King's Fate Soul entered his Sea of Consciousness. This was equivalent to entering Zhao Xing's home field to fight.

The Fate Soul of Heaven Derivation King must first be weakened by one layer by Zhao Xing's physical body and Seven Po.

The Fate Soul resides in the womb, and the Seven Po of the physical body are the armor of the Fate Soul. At the same time, the Seven Po can nourish the Fate Soul, which is useful when fighting in the enemy's Sea of Consciousness.

Zhao Xing can obtain energy from the Seven Sources continuously, and the battle of the Heaven Derivation King's Fate Soul- body is extremely dangerous.

There was no need for this, but the senior Heaven Derivation King insisted on going in to check him out and make sure he was fully aware of the situation, otherwise he wouldn't feel at ease.

So Zhao Xing could only agree, "Okay."

Metaphor

On that Heaven Derivation King's Fate Soul overlapped with that of Zhao Xing's physical body, and Zhao Xing's physical body immediately emitted a burst of Golden Light.

This is the body's Seven Po ' instinctive rejection and protection.

However, Zhao Xing quickly suppressed the Golden Light of his blood and qi, essentially turning off his 'firewall'.

Even so, when Heaven Derivation King's Fate Soul entered Zhao Xing 'Sea of Consciousness, it became weak.

Within the Sea of Consciousness, starlight shone brightly.

With a thought, Zhao Xing conjured up a living room.

Heaven Derivation King leaped into the living room.

"Um?"

Heaven Derivation King looked up and saw seven giants in front of him.

The seven giants all resembled Zhao Xing!

"How come you're so tall?" Heaven Derivation King was a little confused.

His Fate Soul was at the Second Rank perfection level, but upon entering this place, he discovered that he was only 1.8 meters tall, while Zhao Xing was 2.8 meters tall.

The height of Fate Soul can, to some extent, represent Fate Soul strength.

Although he deliberately suppressed his Fate Soul strength after entering, and was weakened by another layer, the contrast was still too obvious.

"Is it due to the strength of one's innate Fate Soul, or the effect of cultivation?" Heaven Derivation King asked.

"I don't know." All seven Zhao Xing shook their heads in unison. "They might all be a little bit."

Heaven Derivation King became interested. "I have seen people with powerful Fate Soul, but yours is indeed a bit exaggerated. Perhaps it is because you are the most talented cultivator of the Divine Derivation God Art."

The speed of cultivation in the first level determines one's potential in the path of the soul.

With Liu Tianning's speed, he will enter the second level very quickly, and once he enters the second level, he will be stronger than others, making the difference even more obvious.

For example, Liu Tianning had over 10,000 Fate Soul in the first level. After comprehending the second level, his Divine Soul evolved twelve times, exceeding 120,000.

However, after Heaven Derivation King comprehended the second level, his Divine Soul could only evolve into 81,000 paths.

He only had a tenfold increase.

The difference then becomes very obvious.

Given such a disparity, if the same soul spell were cast simultaneously, the Heaven Derivation King would undoubtedly suffer a crushing defeat in a clash.

"These seven Fate Soul of yours truly have no distinction of primary or secondary importance," Heaven Derivation King pondered. "I cannot see any flaws in them."

"Alright, I'll go outside and talk to you first."

Heaven Derivation King jumped up.

"!" As a result, he bumped into the ceiling, his head was a little dizzy, and he almost lost his balance when he fell.

He was still unable to escape Zhao Xing's Sea of Consciousness after all this?

"I'm sorry," Zhao Xing somewhat awkwardly, "I just broke through, so I'm not very proficient yet."

Then, the seven Fate Soul emitted starlight, and the living room they had conjured vanished instantly.

Heaven Derivation King also successfully jumped out of Zhao Xing's Sea of Consciousness. Then, a phantom flew out of Zhao Xing's physical body and returned to his own body.

"Phew~" Heaven Derivation King shook his head. "Your situation is quite interesting; I need to make a detailed record of it."

"Zhao Xing, tell me in detail about your cultivation insights," Heaven Derivation King.

As the first person to break the record, Heaven Derivation King speculated that Zhao Xing's understanding of this spiritual technique might be even more complete.

Because this intensity is completely different from what he understands.

How can there be Seven-Star Fate Soul with no distinction between primary and secondary elements?

How could someone be this strong after completing only the first level?

Therefore, Heaven Derivation King concluded that Zhao Xing might be on the right path and was very likely to comprehend the third level of the Derivation God Stele in the future.

"No problem." Zhao Xing followed Heaven Derivation King to the archives of the Star Palace.

He was also generous in paving the way for those who came after him.

Because in the Spiritual Energy Era, everyone Derivation God Art by condensing the Seven-Star Fate Soul, with the main soul splitting into six paths.

When Zhao Xing was cultivating the first level, he completely followed his experience from his previous life.

"Take a look at the insights summarized by our predecessors, and then compare them." Heaven Derivation King pulled out a series of documents.

The names on the file were all covered up, so Zhao Xing didn't know who wrote these reflections.

After Zhao Xing mastered the technique, he also wanted to leave a record of his insights here.

"This place contains not only the insights left by practitioners of the Derivation God Art from this dynasty, but also those from previous dynasties. The names of those from this dynasty have been obscured, but the ones from the previous dynasties don't matter."

"Okay." Zhao Xing read it carefully.

In less than fifteen minutes, he had finished reading through thousands of files and fell into deep thought.

Heaven Derivation King waited quietly, because Zhao Xing closed his eyes, and at the same time, his soul fluctuated, clearly indicating that he was caught up in some kind of thinking or deduction.

About half an hour later, Zhao Xing opened his eyes and nodded to Heaven Derivation King.

Heaven Derivation King took up his pen and began to record. "You have divided your Fate Star into seven Soul Body. This path and the seven Fate Star are both within the Divine Soul. What is the difference?"

Zhao Xing pondered, "The seven stars all return to the Divine Soul; when the Divine Soul perishes, the person dies and their Dao dissipates."

"The seven stars are divided into Seven-Soul Body, but one soul remains, which can be restored and generate a new Soul Body, thus restoring the Seven-Soul Body."

Heaven Derivation King nodded. He had been thinking about this as well, and it was similar to what he had been thinking.

"What are the advantages and disadvantages of the two?" Heaven Derivation King continued to ask.

Zhao Xing pondered, "Logically speaking, since the Seven Stars all belong to the Divine Soul, the advantage lies in the stronger defense of the Divine Soul."

"If the seven stars are divided among the seven souls, the defense will be weaker."

"Logically speaking?" Heaven Derivation King was taken aback and stopped recording. "What is the actual situation?"

Zhao Xing said, "In reality, I can also merge the Seven-Soul Body into one, forming the Seven-Star Soul Body."

"What?" Heaven Derivation King was stunned. "Doesn't this mean that the Seven-Star Soul Body is the correct path of cultivation?"

Zhao Xing nodded and said, "That should be true."

Heaven Derivation King looked somewhat shocked. Could it be that all the previous cultivators had been on the wrong path?

This discovery is so important! So important that even Heaven Derivation King could hardly believe it.

"Wait, if your seven souls merge into one, how many separate souls can you create?"

The "divided soul" mentioned by Heaven Derivation King here refers to a divided Soul Body without Fate Star.

The differentiated Soul Body does not contain a soul core, so even if it is destroyed or dissipates, the impact is not significant. As long as it is not lost too much at once, it can be replenished in a short time.

"I'll give it a try first." Zhao Xing closed his eyes again. He had just broken through and hadn't yet tried to figure out how many paths he could divide.

"Alright." Heaven Derivation King looked on expectantly.

Within the Sea of Consciousness, the seven Fate Soul giants merged together.

Stars appeared on the forehead, shoulders, chest, abdomen, back, and feet.

Then, with a thought, Zhao Xing's Seven-Star Soul Body began to twinkle.

One after another, fragments of the Soul Body rapidly emerged.

It quickly exceeded ten thousand.

Zhao Xing also wanted to test where the limit was, so he kept evolving it.

He didn't stop until all seven Fate Star began to tremble.

A moment later, Zhao Xing opened his eyes.

"I can divide myself into forty-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine."

"How much??" Heaven Derivation King's pen fell to the ground.

"How many people were originally the number one in history?" Zhao Xing was also curious. Heaven Derivation King was so out of control, the number must have been extremely high.

Heaven Derivation King beckoned to pick up the pen, asking incredulously, "You... you're not joking?"

"The guy who was originally ranked first in history only had 15,642 Soul Body."

Heaven Derivation King was utterly speechless.

Zhao Xing's first level has an extremely high ceiling.

He only has over 81,000 divided souls, while Zhao Xing has almost 50,000!

Could there really be such a large gap between practitioners of the Derivation God Art?

"It might be related to my personal circumstances," Zhao Xing said.

However, this explanation is also difficult to justify.

Zhao Xing consumed the Origin Spirit Fruit, Origin Soul Liquid, and Fate Soul Pill. Haven't others consumed similar treasures? Perhaps even more!

The factor of treasures can be ruled out. Only two points can explain it: first, the Fate Soul is powerful; second, the Seven-Soul Body is the true path of cultivation.

This explains why no one has been able to master the third level for so many years.

"A great discovery, a great discovery indeed—" Heaven Derivation King's lips trembled. "This discovery is destined to be recorded in history."

Zhao Xing wasn't particularly excited, because when he first encountered the Derivation God Art, this was the common practice, so it wasn't anything special.

In the previous Spiritual Energy Era, everyone cultivated the Ultimate Law, the Derivation God Art. Once they mastered the first level, the number of their divided souls was generally twenty to thirty thousand.

Zhao Xing estimated that he could reach 49,999, which should be because his ' Innate Soul Power ' was high enough.

This innate value is displayed on the player's character panel when they are born. However, he didn't see this value at the beginning of this life.

At that time, Zhao Xing didn't pay much attention to this method anymore, because by the time the Ultimate Law became widespread, it was already the Ascension Version.

As one of the first high-level players, Zhao Xing quickly obtained a more powerful technique after ascending to immortality, so he stopped paying attention to it.

Now, after reviewing numerous files, Zhao Xing discovered that all 35,346 practitioners of the Derivation God Art from the past year to the present seem to have been on the wrong path, at least the first level of which was flawed.

He thought that this law itself had multiple directions of development.

After learning about this information, Zhao Xing discovered that this was not the case.

Taking advantage of Heaven Derivation King's shock, Zhao Xing closed his eyes and quickly fell into thought, "So, Liu Tianning's madness seems to be caused by multiple reasons. Giving him only the Origin Spirit Fruit cannot compensate for the deficiencies of the Ultimate Straw Man Art. I just don't know what the second level will be like. The enlightenment and cultivation in my previous life are very different from this one. I can only wait and see."

The blink of an eye was only a moment away, and when Zhao Xing opened his eyes again, Heaven Derivation King was still in shock.

"If it's true that the Seven Stars of the Divine Soul can be separated and combined, then both previous and current cultivators would need to start over," Zhao Xing asked. "Your Highness has cultivated to the second level. What is the nature of the second level?"

Heaven Derivation King, "The second level will expand to include more Fate Star and can also generate more split Soul Body. However, the Fate Star Fate Star will still reside within the Divine Soul, unlike in your case where they appear within the Soul Body."

"As for the third level, no one has ever mastered it since records began."

Zhao Xing nodded. This was not much different from what he knew. The number of differentiated Soul Body had increased exponentially, and the Fate Star had also increased.

The only difference is whether the Fate Star can be separated.

Heaven Derivation King solemnly said, "Zhao Xing, please summarize your cultivation experience over the past two years in detail."

"Ideally, it should be reproduced in your Preaching Painting so that others can experience your teachings."

"I will immediately stop those in the Great Zhou who are currently cultivating the first level, and await your fate."

"As for those who have already reached the first or second level, we need to observe the effects on them before making a decision."

Heaven Derivation King Heaven Derivation King the right to stop someone who is cultivating the first level, but he cannot stop someone who has already cultivated the first level or even the second level.

He needed to report to Emperor Jing and obtain Emperor Jing permission before he could do this.

It may not be possible to pass through it in a short time, because currently, those who Derivation God Art do not seem to have any drawbacks, they are just not that strong.

If it were to be rebuilt, few people would probably be willing to do it without knowing the consequences.

Moreover, there is currently a war, which has a significant impact on high-level combat capabilities. This plan cannot be accomplished in just a few years.

However, this discovery will inevitably affect the next generation of people who cultivate the Derivation God Art.

"If your method is ultimately proven to be correct, you will be the pioneer of this path, and all those who cultivate the Derivation God Art will be grateful to you. This is a great merit!"

"This is of utmost importance, please make this your top priority! On behalf of all those who cultivate the Derivation God Art, I thank you in advance." Zhao Xing, the author of the Heaven Derivation King, bowed solemnly.

Who are the people Derivation God Art?

The top geniuses in the middle-grade category, and all those in the high-grade category.

Whether it can be successfully repaired is another matter, but these two are the ones who are qualified.

This has a huge impact!

Even if only a small portion can master it, the Great Zhou Dynasty will pass it down from generation to generation, with a profound influence!

Zhao Xing currently just a record-breaker. Although it's impressive, it's just an honor and has no real benefit to anyone else.

But if he really succeeds, it will be like opening a path for those who come after him, and all those who succeed will have to call him their teacher.

"Your Highness, please do not perform such a grand ceremony." Zhao Xing quickly helped Heaven Derivation King up. "I will do my utmost in this matter."

"Very well." Heaven Derivation King grasped Zhao Xing's hand and smiled. "If I can help you accomplish this in the rest of my life, I will die without regrets."

Seeing this, Zhao Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself; the pressure was too great.

He had no idea whether he could bring the Derivation God Art to the level of later generations. Seeing that the Heaven Derivation King had such high expectations, he had to give him a heads-up. "Your Highness, please don't forget that there are other factors. Right now, this is just one possibility, and it may not all be due to cultivation reasons."

Heaven Derivation King also came to his senses at this moment. He said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I will not let you expose this matter before there is a definite result. It is a top secret, and only you and I know about it. Don't feel pressured."

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness." Zhao Xing cupped his hands in greeting.

Having mastered the first level, Zhao Xing was granted a short one-month vacation.

As for Heaven Derivation King, he no longer had the mind to keep an eye on Zhao Xing. He had already gone to stop the other thirty-seven people in the Great Zhou who were currently cultivating the first level of the Derivation God Art.

These people were all at the mid-level cultivation stage, so stopping them was easy. As for the other Third-Rank Realm who were currently cultivating the first level, Heaven Derivation King did not interfere for the time being.

Zhao Xing's true form left the Star Palace of the Military Realm and arrived at the Community God Hall in Chongming Prefecture.

"Today is the 20th of the tenth month of the thirty-second year of the Jingxin Calendar." Zhao Xing looked into the distance.

They then quickly left Chongming Prefecture and arrived at a secret estate they had purchased in Dongyang County.

After sinking into the ground and making all the necessary preparations, he attempted to enter the Great Dream Academy.

Yu's "online" appearance this time was not outside the Cloud Gate of the Great Dream Academy, but directly at the Heavenly Secret Shelter where the Heavenly Mandate Dark Bird was located. As the Heavenly Mandate Dark Bird violated the rules, Zhao Xing's entry point also changed.

"Gah~ You're here." As soon as I logged on, I heard the Dark Bird standing on the cabinet making a sound.

"What do you mean, 'You're here'?" Zhao Xing thought to himself, but smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, "Senior, it's been a long time."

"Gah~ You seem to have gotten stronger again." The Heavenly Mandate Dark Bird's voice held a hint of pleasure. "Not bad, not bad."

"It's all thanks to the cultivation of our seniors." Zhao Xing looked up and glanced at the Heavenly Mandate Dark Bird. At this moment, the missing feathers had not fully grown back, but it had recovered most of its original size.

"I wonder how you are doing lately, senior? How is your recovery going?" Zhao Xing asked with concern.

The last time I came was in the dead of winter, the 29th of the Jingxin Calendar. Now it is the early winter of the 32nd of the Jingxin Calendar, which is almost three years ago.

The Heavenly Mandate Dark Bird preened its feathers. "Not bad, you've recovered very well."

Zhao Xing asked hopefully, "I wonder if you could go out again, senior—"

The Heavenly Mandate Dark Bird interrupted, "No, I haven't fully recovered yet. Going out again would cause serious problems!"

Zhao Xing said, "The dynasty I live in is about to face a great upheaval. At that time, top experts will run rampant, and I fear I will not be able to protect myself."

The Heavenly Mandate Dark Bird shook its head and said, "No means no. If I try to break the rules with my incomplete strength, I will die."

Seeing the Heavenly Mandate Dark Bird's determination, Zhao Xing had no choice but to give up. "I wonder how much longer it will take for you to recover, Senior?"

"It will take at least a year and a half, and at most three to five years," said the Heavenly Mandate Dark Bird.

Zhao Xing knew he had no choice but to wait.

Hopefully, the Heavenly Mandate Dark Bird will be restored before the 35th year of the Jingxin Calendar.

Although it can't retrieve treasures for itself right now, this trip wasn't a complete waste.

The Heavenly Mandate Dark Bird once said that if he broke through to the Fourth Grade within ten years, it would bestow upon him a share of fortune.

Only three years have passed, and I've already reached the Fourth Grade of perfection. Of course, I have to come in and take this benefit.

"Senior, I have fulfilled your requirements and am now at the Fourth Grade Yuan Soul Realm."

"I see." The Heavenly Mandate Dark Bird nodded. "Are you going to do it now? You need to think carefully. You are currently at the Evolution Five stage of the Qi Transformation Realm. If you receive a gift of Qi from me, you will immediately become the Evolution Six!"

"If you are in a strategic location and frequently come into contact with experts, and suddenly your luck increases dramatically, this may not be a good thing. You should choose a suitable time to receive this good fortune."

Zhao Xing was taken aback. He had obtained the Heavenly Mystery Magic Robe and possessed a high-level, perfected Fate Spell, so he had really overlooked this point.

Isn't Heaven Derivation King Fate Officials? And a top-tier expert at that?

He can definitely tell, but could there be a problem with that?

Although Heaven Derivation King was considered one of their own, Zhao Xing still did not choose to take the risk.

After all, he still needs to come and go from the Star Palace. After completing the first level of the Derivation God Art, he still needs to cultivate related attack and defense techniques. He will have to stay there for the next few years.

Therefore, choosing the right time and place to accept this good fortune is also very important.

" With the Liang King Rebellion, many government agencies in Pinghai Province will be brought to a standstill and thrown into turmoil. It is just right for me to accept this fortune at that time," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"Firstly, I have a legitimate reason to leave for an extended period of time. Secondly, the Liang King has rebelled, and the fortunes of Pinghai Province will also experience large-scale fluctuations. Some people will fall while others will rise to prominence. My transformation from Evolution Five to Evolution Six is therefore justifiable."

Having made up his mind, Zhao Xing said, "Then I will come to see you again next time, senior."

Having said that, he voluntarily left the Great Dream Academy.

When Zhao Xing woke up underground, he checked the time and found that only a quarter of an hour had passed.

"This silly bird has a bit of luck on its side; it can even help us catch some good treasures later."

"I can slowly prepare some things over the next two years," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

First and foremost, it must be a suitable and reasonable identity!

It would be very inconvenient for someone like him, the head of the Community God Hall, to go and kill rebels.

Moreover, the operational range is too small, making cross-regional operations somewhat inappropriate. Zhao Xing must resolve these procedural issues.

He also plans to visit Dayuan Prefecture, his hometown, at that time.

You, the Society God In-charge Official of Chongming Prefecture, are running around in Dayuan Prefecture? That's very strange.

"Solving this problem is simple; both Princess Youruo and Liu Tianning can do it. However, it would be best to do it through Liu Tianning."

"Otherwise, whatever I do or whatever merit I achieve, I will be influenced by the name of Princess Youruo and feel that I have received help from the princess."

They borrowed her prestige.

"Liu Tianning is different. My relationship with him is that of a legitimate teacher and student. He is a Military Realm inspector, Transportation Envoy of two prefectures, and also holds a position in the Imperial Stud Department."

"Having him arrange this identity for me will make things much easier when I'm on the move," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"Secondly, the list."

"The list of killers, and the list of rescuers."

Zhao Xing browsed through his memory palace. "Liang King Rebellion, many people were with him, including quite a few Agriculture Official."

"For example, some people from several branches of the Mystic Heaven Academy had pledged allegiance to the Liang King at that time."

"Furthermore, the army in the Pinghai Province's Grotto-Heaven, those Military Sima Nong, caused immense destruction."

"Killing a few key figures will maximize the reputation you gain."

"For example, Sheng Yuandong, a Fourth Grade Military Sima Nong in Primal Splendor Grotto Heaven, is a staunch supporter of the Liang King. He will definitely be added to the court's 'list of traitors'."

"For example, Qin Fang, Upper Fourth Rank Military Sima Nong in Danxia Grotto-Heaven."

"And there's the Director of the Directorate of Waterways Bureau of Anping Prefecture, a Third Grade official who, during the rebellion, directly opened up the defensive array along the nineteen sections of the Lan River."

The destruction caused was extremely horrific.

Zhao Xing compiled a list of famous figures, some of whom he knew from his past life.

"And some people, on the other hand, gathered intelligence on their own in this lifetime."

Of course, this list will continue to be updated.

It mainly depends on your own strength at the time.

since.

"Besides the Agricultural Official, the most terrifying rebels are the clergy," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "When the Priest rebel, even some third- or fourth-rank Yin Spirit join in the rebellion."

"The Liang King was also Grand Ancestor descendant of Emperor Taizu. His early writings were not about rebelling against Emperor Jing or the Great Zhou, but rather about Purge the Emperor's Entourage."

"Others cannot command Yin Spirit on a large scale, but he is a first-rank prince and the direct grandson of the Grand Ancestor emperor. When the Great Zhou Emperor established the system of Yin Spirit, he did not stipulate that Yin Spirit should only serve the Di Yi, but rather serve the Ji Royal House lineage."

"Because he quelled the chaos of warring states and had seen countless incompetent rulers. If his own descendants were to become incompetent emperors, then changing the emperor to someone with the Ji Surname wouldn't be a bad idea. After all, the descendants of the Ji clan are always fighting amongst themselves, so the spoils just stay within the family."

"Only when Liang King begins to bring Evil God into the territory of the Great Zhou will he lose this power."

"But at the beginning, the Priest ' rebellion was terrifying. As a divine profession in the Vital Energy Era, the Priest profession combined the advantages of all professions. Apart from having a short lifespan, it had almost no flaws."

"I also need to prepare some anti- Priest methods, and they can't be sectarian evil practices," Zhao Xing pondered.

There aren't many ways to control Priest, because within the Great Zhou territory, it's much easier and less costly for Priest to borrow divine power than outside the territory.

"Secondly, there's the list of people to be saved." Zhao Xing thought carefully. "Some people with great fortune wouldn't have died anyway. Even if I didn't go, they would have escaped danger and been rescued by the imperial support forces, or they would have escaped on their own. But if I save them, I can form a Good Karma with them."

"For example, Wei Xuancheng, the Priest of Anping Prefecture, is the future prime minister."

"There are also physicians, craftsmen, Weaving Girl, Dancer Master, and musicians who are inherently weak in combat—you can find out by looking at their rankings in the dojo."

Zhao Xing was making notes on the list.

In short, he has many clones, so there's no fear of not being able to save them all.

Finally, there are large cities, top-tier counties, and key waterways—

For a whole month, Zhao Xing was planning the future "Liang King's Rebellion".

The network of connections he had built up in the Ten Yang Grotto-Heaven was also coming into play, and what Zhao Xing wanted to inquire about was not a big deal.

The main purpose was to find out about a person, where they held official positions, their reputation, their family background, and so on.

This will continue for the next two years.

The other matter was the summary of his insights on the first level of the Derivation God Art, which was entrusted to him by the Heaven Derivation King.

November 20th, the 32nd year of the Jingxin Calendar.

Zhao Xing returned to the Star Palace of the Military Realm.

He shared his insights and experiences from cultivating the first level, along with a detailed account of the process, including the time he consumed the Origin Soul Liquid, the repair of his Fate Soul injuries, and the timing of the appearance of the Mystic Rune Stars.

The files were so numerous they could fill a boat; they were incredibly detailed.

After obtaining Zhao Xing's cultivation insights, Heaven Derivation King treasured them as if they were priceless treasures.

"I'm afraid I won't have time to supervise your cultivation for the next three or four months."

"However, you must not relax," Heaven Derivation King. "You can only cultivate the second level of the secret technique after you reach the Third Grade, as it involves the part where the Divine Soul leaves the body."

"But you need to work harder on your Divine Soul attack and defense techniques after you've mastered the first level. See if your Seven-Star Soul Body can have extraordinary power in actual combat."

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded. Derivation God Art Technique and could differentiate into tens of thousands of Soul Body fragments.

However, it was not created for the Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet; it is equipped with many powerful soul-type techniques, including attack, defense, and support.

Soul-based spells are also a large category.

For example, the "Bright Eyes Art"

"The Heaven's Eye Art" can be considered a semi-divine soul-type spell.

"You may peruse all the magical manuals within the Star Palace."

"I need to pause the rest of your cultivation progress and obtain more evidence. I will come to check your cultivation results soon," Heaven Derivation King.

Even after the Heaven Derivation King left, he was still worried and specially left a mechanical puppet in the Star Palace as a supervisor.

Zhao Xing was also impressed by Heaven Derivation King's dedication, and then began to study the various battle tactics that were combined with the Derivation God Art in the Star Palace.

On the fifth day of the twelfth month of the thirty-second year of the Jingxin Calendar, Star Palace,

"Clang~"

A bell tolled from Zhao Xing's body.

At this moment, within his Sea of Consciousness, there was a large golden bell.

The large bell floated in the center of the Sea of Consciousness, while the Divine Soul held it in one hand.

"Derivation God Art Technique, I only spent fifteen Heavenly Timing cultivating the Soul Extinguishing Bell and mastered the first move of a top-tier soul attack technique." Zhao Xing looked at the golden bell.

"According to the secret method, even though it is only at the level of one ring, any Third Grade who has not cultivated the Soul Secret Technique will be injured by the Soul Extinguishing Bell."

"Let's go out for some fresh air." After completing the first level, Zhao Xing left the Star Palace.

In the office of the Community God Hall, Chen Shijie was writing furiously.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, he was extremely busy again.

"Old Chen."

Zhao Xing walked into the office and pulled him up. "Rest for a while, then come with me."

"What are you doing? Where are you going?" Chen Shijie asked.

"Never mind that, I'll keep an eye on things here for now."

Zhao Xing snapped his fingers, instantly releasing several clones to take over Chen Shijie's official duties.

He then brought Chen Shijie to the official residence.

This is where he and Chen Shijie lived.

"What year-end bonus? I didn't know such a thing existed," Chen Shijie asked suspiciously. "It looks quite valuable. Where did it come from?"

"Never mind where it came from, it wasn't stolen anyway," Zhao Xing laughed. "Consider it my personal compensation to you, okay?"

"Sure, of course," Chen Shijie said without Guest Qi. "How do I use it?"

"Just drink it," Zhao Xing said. "You'll know what's going on after you drink it."

Chen Shijie immediately pulled out the stopper and poured a bottle of Origin Soul Liquid into his mouth.

"What? This is a treasure that enhances one's Fate Soul?" Chen Shijie's face immediately paled in surprise. "Where did you get this? Did you rob someone?"

Treasures of Fate Soul are hard to find, and even in the Military Realm, there are few channels to purchase them.

Chen Shijie could feel his Fate Soul greatly increased; this treasure was at least at the sixth rank!

Such resources are all subject to rationing. You can't buy them even if you have money!

"Where am I supposed to rob someone?" Zhao Xing laughed.

This is the cultivation resource quota that Heaven Derivation King gave him.

For him, the Origin Soul Liquid no longer had much of Jingong, only a repairing effect.

It was mainly for Zhao Xing to use in cultivating soul-related secret techniques.

But for Chen Shijie, this was a great tonic, specifically for replenishing his Fate Soul.

Old Chen's Fate Soul is still at the Sixth Rank of perfection.

However, after finishing one bottle, he broke through to the mid-stage of the Fifth Grade.

Zhao Xing estimated that Chen Shijie would be able to reach the early stage of the Fourth Grade after consuming all the Origin Soul Liquid.

With a strong Fate Soul, powerful spells, and a fast comprehension speed, Chen Shijie's path to advancement has been opened, and it shouldn't be a problem for him to cultivate to the Fourth Grade.

"I'm not too busy lately, so you can take some time to cultivate." Zhao Xing dragged another box out of the room. "Inside, there are treasures for Body Tempering. Like I said, don't ask where they came from, but they're all legal and legitimate."

"In addition, I will leave a clone here to demonstrate the top-level Earth Palace Art to you—why are you looking at me with such an illegal gaze? I've already said it's reasonable and legal, why don't you believe me?"

"I believe you, but I really didn't expect that even your clone could use a top-tier Earth Palace Art," Chen Shijie remarked. "Now it's your turn to teach me."

"Hahahaha." Zhao Xing laughed and patted Chen Shijie on the shoulder. "Little Chen, I've been waiting for this moment for a long time."

"Get lost!" Chen Shijie slapped his hand away. "You cultivation monster!"

"Ha ha ha ha.""

Zhao Xing left laughing.

From today onwards, Chen Shijie will be confined to the official residence.

The clone he left behind became Chen Shijie's cultivation supervisor.

Old Chen has a talent for the Earthly Advantage Method. Even if his talent was not outstanding before, he could be considered a genius after the burst of spiritual energy in the Ten Yang Grotto-Heaven.

With such great benefits Liang King Rebellion, it's no surprise that his close brothers also benefited.

After locking Chen Shijie in a dark room, He Wen arrived in Dongyang County.

"Brother Xia, how is your recovery going?"

"We've already disassembled one of the mechanical arms." Xia Jing raised his right hand. "My left hand is almost healed too."

"Wow, your hair has grown so much! Not bad," Zhao Xing said.

Xia Jing has been here for almost a year.

His recovery is quite good; he now has 70% of his peak strength.

"Now that you've almost fully recovered, I'll help you with your rehabilitation training," Zhao Xing said.

Xia Jing is not short of money or treasures for restoration. His father, Xia Hou, is a first-class Martial Marquis of Martial Arts, whose strength, status, and resources are no less than those of some kings.

Of course, Xia Jing didn't bring many people with him when he came, as he did lack some sparring partners.

Zhao Xing brought over all Eight Heavenly Maidens he had obtained from the Heavenly Craft Hall.

"Here, this is for you."

"Hmm? What version of Mechanical Puppet is this?" Xia Jing's eyes lit up, as if he had seen a beloved treasure.

Does Xia Jing like these large-sized figurines?

Zhao Xing found it strange; how come he hadn't noticed it before?

That's true, I was in the military before, how could I have had the chance?

"It's the old version, and it wasn't easy to get my hands on," Zhao Xing said. "It's pretty strong; it should be enough for you."

"Fight?" Xia Jing shook his head vigorously, looking at Zhao Xing in astonishment. "Are you crazy? You're not going to use such an exquisite Mechanical Puppet for sparring, are you going to collect it?"

"Of course, I have a whole room full of mechanical puppets," Xia Jing said. "It's just that in the last twenty or thirty years, the Mechanism Master haven't come up with anything new; they're all bald men. I'm really fed up."

Zhao Xing:

"Brother, wake up!"

"You are a martial artist, how can you be burdened by such childish things?"

Xia Jing Jingxu narrowed his eyes and said, "You don't understand at all."

Zhao Xing:

Zhao Xing suspected that giving the Eight Heavenly Maidens Puppet to Xia Jing was a mistake.

"Alright, then you fight my straw man." Zhao Xing Xingshou chuckled and rubbed his fist.

He needs to wake Xia Jing up!

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is February of the thirty-third year of the Jingxin Calendar.

"Clang~ Clang~"

Star Palace, two bells rang out.

"The Soul Extinguishing Bell has finally reached the second level of cultivation." Zhao Xing revealed a slight smile.

He left the Star Palace again, and the puppet left behind by Heaven Derivation King shook his head helplessly upon seeing this.

"Whoosh~"

After leaving the prefectural city, Zhao Xing returned to his family estate in Dongyang County.

The reason he comes out every now and then is mainly because he has made breakthroughs in the secret technique of "The Great Dream Spring and Autumn".

"Since he comprehended the first level of the Derivation God Art and began cultivating soul-based combat techniques, Great Dream Spring and Autumn has finally progressed from the beginner level ' Dream Storage Method ' to the second level ' Dream Walking '."

Zhao Xing closed his eyes and Entering the Dream.

Unlike his previous dreams, this time Zhao Xing's dream featured a panoramic view of the entire Dongyang County.

"It's Rat Hour now, and most people in Dongyang County are asleep." Zhao Xing looked down at Dongyang County from the sky in his dream.

At this moment, many colorful bubbles appeared in Dongyang County.

Each bubble represents a person's current dream. "I can freely jump into anyone's dream, and through the dream, transform into a dream demon to kill their Fate Soul."

"This method is extremely covert and difficult to detect. Even cultivators may Going Berserk in their dreams. Even if Yin Spirit comes, it will be considered an accidental death."

"Dream Walking Leap and killing without a trace—this is the method of the Ancient Divine Sect." Zhao Xing jumped to the side of one of the yellow spheres.

This is the dream of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.

In his dream, he was lying on a pink bed, on which sat a middle-aged woman with a slender figure. Behind the curtains, the boy was panting heavily.

"Sister-in-law, is the shopkeeper not as capable as me? Hehe, hehe—"

"Tsk, she's got quite the flair for dreams." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Suddenly, the dream emitted a faint glow.

The charming, middle-aged proprietress of his youthful dreams suddenly transformed into a greasy, overweight middle-aged boss.

"Whoa!!" The boy was terrified and jumped out of bed in a panic.

He pulled up his pants and kept backing away, only to see the shopkeeper with a flirtatious look on his face, lying on his side and beckoning him with his finger. His posture was exactly the same as his wife's, only the person was completely different.

"Ahhh!" the boy screamed in terror.

He desperately wanted to end this nightmare, but he just couldn't wake up.

Zhao Xing stood outside the sphere, which began to tremble violently. At this moment, he could completely follow the dream and torture the boy's Fate Soul to the point of collapse.

However, he only gently pierced the dream, shattering the boy's illusion and waking him up.

"Considering you haven't done anything particularly heinous, just seduced someone's concubine, I'll give you a scare this time." Zhao Xing waved his hand, ending the boy's nightmare.

He continued to travel within Dongyang County.

Having mastered the first level of the Derivation God Art, his progress in cultivating the Dream Walking Art was also rapid.

"I can now create tens of thousands of dream demons and attack the target who is dreaming simultaneously."

"Even those who don't dream will be guided to dream, and then they will be killed."

"No wonder it has the nickname 'Nightmare Sect,'" Zhao Xing thought to himself. "It's just that there aren't any strong opponents for me to practice against."

The highest-ranking official in Dongyang County was a Fifth Grade official. Zhao Xing had invaded the dreams of Fifth Grade, but the Yin Spirit of the temple did not notice.

Because this method is extremely secretive, if the Dream God Sect's top techniques could be easily discovered, they wouldn't have been able to dominate for so many years.

"I'll ask Heaven Derivation King for a batch of death row inmates another day, preferably a Third Grade death row inmate for me to practice with."

"As for the pretext, let's just use the pretext of cultivating the Soul Extinguishing Bell." Zhao Xing strolled through Dongyang County in his dream.

Just as he was about to end his cultivation session, Zhao Xing suddenly frowned.

The next moment, he arrived at a small town near his own manor.

In an ordinary family home, a man and a woman are having a dream.

They produce a blood-red sphere, and within this sphere, '

Images are flashing across the screen.

"Your Excellency, after three years, we have collected many items used by Zhao Xing from Zhao Family Village," a man reported in the dream.

The man knelt before the woman, whose chest was exposed, revealing a human face on her belly.

This is a recollection of the daytime.

"Including the bowl he used to eat from, and the silver notes and coins that Zhao Xing distributed to the surrounding villagers during the Spring Festival over the past few years."

"There are also couplets that he supposedly wrote himself, and small toys that he gave to his sister."

"Over the past three years, a total of 263 items have been collected."

"Very good." The blood-red face spoke in a hoarse voice, "Your mission is complete. In five days, take your supplies and set sail."

A merchant will bring you here.

"Yes, thank you, Your Excellency." The man was overjoyed, while the woman relaxed her guard.

The dream continued, revealing scenes from the daytime experience.

Zhao Xing's face turned gloomy.

He knew that face all too well.

"Blood Spirit Venerable!"

"You really are a persistent Yin Soul!"

Zhao Xing immediately ended the dream.

"Collecting things I've used is clearly for the purpose of using them as a medium."

"The warning I felt in Chongming Prefecture three years ago came from him?"

"Good, good, good. I didn't expect you to come to the East Sea too." Zhao Xing immediately flew to Chongming Prefecture and entered the Star Palace through the Military Realm entrance of Chongming Prefecture.

"Your Highness, I have something important to report." Zhao Xing found the puppet left behind by Heaven Derivation King.

"Buzz~" A faint light shone in the puppet's eyes, and the voice of the Heaven Derivation King came.

"In Dongyang County, I discovered followers of the Profound Heaven Sect who were collecting things I had used as a medium," Zhao Xing said.

"I already knew about this," Heaven Derivation King. "Those believers were deliberately let in by me; they collected more than two hundred and sixty-three items."

"In recent years, many of the official documents you have signed have been switched or altered."

"Does Your Highness know?" Zhao Xing was taken aback.

"Yes, I mentioned before that I would be carrying out a fishing operation," Heaven Derivation King. "However, I didn't know how big the fish behind this was. At that time, you hadn't successfully cultivated yet, and your Fate Soul was still very fragile, so I had only been preparing."

"Don't alert them," Heaven Derivation King. "I'll be back the day after tomorrow, and I'll need your cooperation then."

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded.

"How is your cultivation of the Soul Extinguishing Bell going?" Heaven Derivation King. "If you're going to be this bait, being too fake won't work, but if you're too real, I'm afraid you'll get hurt."

"Your Highness, I have already used the Soul Extinguishing Bell."

Is the "path of walking" sufficient?
