First-Rank True Intent, Divine Radiance of the Four Seasons, Breaking Through to Third Rank-The Ephemeral Becomes!

Silence. A profound silence fell over the Ten Thousand Dao Plain, which was then filled with a tremendous roar.

"That was fast! What just happened?"

"I didn't see clearly, how come there's only one corpse left?"

"Pure Yuan Projection! It's a crushing defeat by the Pure Yuan Projection! Could it be that Zhao Xing has broken through to the Third Grade?"

"Lian Tianyu and Zhang Han were both military commanders, veterans of countless battles fought on the battlefield, and they're gone just like that?"

"It's terrifying that Liu Tianning has actually raised such a disciple."

"If he can't even unleash the Pure Yuan Projection, who can be Zhao Xing's match?"

"Hahaha, so you objected! Come on, have some more!"

"Kang Zhengxian, Chu Qianqiu, Zhong Yuan, keep sending people!"

Below, the pregnant, sick, and disabled trio stared blankly at this scene.

"Senior Brother, am I seeing things? Is this really something a human can do?" Wen Weiqi was dumbfounded.

"I'm not seeing things, he really did take on seven people single-handedly, and won decisively." Yu Gongzhi couldn't help but glance at the skeletons in the pool of blood. "If we had gone up against him, we'd be skeletons by now too."

"No, we might not even leave behind any remains," Xin Bojian said. "We're no better than Lian Tianyu."

"Senior Brother's decision was truly wise!" Wen Weiqi and Yu Gongzhi said, still somewhat shaken.

If the teacher were out of his mind, he might actually let them beat up Zhao Xing.

Even if it's one against ten, how good can the outcome be?

Zhao Xing's combat prowess exceeded many people's expectations.

Not only Kang, Chu, Zhong and their supporters, but even Liu Tianning and Xu Xing were somewhat surprised.

Because Zhao Xing's Pure Origin Soil seems to be much stronger than others.

The same level 5 soil was crushed to the point of being completely compacted!

"Who else?!"

Zhao Xing's thousands of clones roared in unison, "Who dares to oppose our master's plan again?!"

Xu Xing at Zhao Xing roaring in the barrier, Xu Xing couldn't help but secretly give Liu Tianning a thumbs up.

Your disciple is quite good!

A smile appeared on Liu Tianning's face.

Because Chu, Kang, and Zhong did not send any more disciples up.

The vibration effect is very obvious!

"Dean Chu, Dean Kang, Dean Zhong. Are you all satisfied with my disciple's performance?"

Liu Tianning asked calmly.

Kang and Zhong immediately conceded defeat. "We never imagined that Dean Liu's disciple would be so capable. The Green Seedling Law is indeed worth implementing; we misjudged the situation."

After saying this, the two bowed and apologized before flying down.

Liu Tianning's gaze fell on Chu Qianqiu.

A look of confusion and struggle appeared in the latter's eyes.

Of the seven people just now, three were his disciples!

Zhang Han, Lian Tianyu, and Lin Haishan are all examples.

The combat strength of the Soldier Envoy Institute was indeed remarkable, and they managed to hold out for one more round.

Yet they were still absolutely crushed.

His resolve wavered.

Seeing that he remained obstinate, Liu Tianning's gaze grew colder and colder.

"Hospital·

Just as the Great Dao Contention of the two was about to begin.

Suddenly, a plump figure laboriously climbed into the sky, and at the same time, his voice rang out. "Dean Liu, we have no further objections."

"Martial Uncle, you—" Chu Qianqiu was stunned. He didn't expect Jiang Yaochun to suddenly appear.

"Qianqiu, your Martial Uncle hopes you will persist in doing what is right," Jiang Yaochun said. "And as far as I know, Zhao Xing has only obtained the First Tier of the Green Seedling Law resources; the second stage has not yet officially begun."

Chu Qianqiu's expression was complicated.

Yes, the resources Zhao Xing obtained from the Shangluo Academy were only a few hundred million in First Tier, not tens of billions.

His insistence on not standing firm is untenable, given how quickly he has grown to this level.

You could say Liu Tianning is good at choosing disciples, or you could say Zhao Xing is exceptionally talented.

But facts speak louder than words, Zhao Xing has now demonstrated a commanding lead!

"Yes." Chu Qianqiu took a deep breath, her eyes gradually becoming clear.

His eyes reflected the Myriad Dao Tree in the distance. "I will fully cooperate with Dean Liu's Green Seedling Law plan."

After saying that, he flew down with Jiang Chunyao.

Liu Tianning also somewhat surprised.

He wanted Zhao Xing to fight with momentum and achieve results.

But the current effect seems a bit too good.

They cleared the obstacles for him!

On the viewing platform, Luo King and Heaven Derivation King couldn't help but laugh.

"This kid took care of it without Liu Tianning even having to lift a finger."

"Who else? Arrogant enough, I like it!" Luo King's Way, "Divine Might Marquis should have the aura of 'I am the best in the world,' sweeping all before him. The title was well earned." Duke of Wei also nodded.

Heaven Derivation King pointed downwards and laughed, "Look at all these people from the Shangluo Academy. They've all seriously injured themselves beforehand, just to avoid battle."

"It's an old tradition," said Duke of Wei. "When Liu Tianning first arrived at the Shangluo Academy, everyone in his generation did the same thing!"

Above the sky, Xu Xing spoke again.

"Any objections?"

"Any objections?"

The required three additional inquiries were completed as per regulations, and no one else objected.

Xu Xing nodded slightly.

This transfer of rights was more peaceful than expected.

"From today onwards, the Green Seedling Law, led by Dean Liu Tianning, will be fully implemented!"

Princess Youruo, who had been somewhat unhappy, smiled at this moment, "Zhao Chen'an, well done."

Some of the opponents of the Shangluo Academy were specifically targeting her.

I don't want Liu Tianning to get too close to the Ji Royal House.

Now that Zhao Xing has been brought up as an example, it proves that Liu Tianning's plan is feasible, and fewer people will oppose him getting together with Princess Youruo.

Otherwise, even if these people were killed, it wouldn't extinguish their opposition.

"Senior Brother is really amazing." Ji Ziyun's eyes sparkled.

Seeing that the plan was proceeding smoothly, Zhao Xing immediately retracted his clone and left the scene.

"Chu Qianqiu and Zhuang Danian are indeed not dead. Perhaps it's because of the existence of that Tree Attendant?"

Zhao Xing looked at the massive Jiang Yaochun, who seemed to sense his gaze, looked back, and nodded slightly.

"That's good. It will be beneficial for me to manage the Shangluo Academy in the future," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

From a national perspective, cultivating a mid-grade, self-centered Si Nong (a high-ranking official in charge of agriculture) is not difficult.

However, high-grade items, especially Second Rank, are quite rare.

If one dies, it takes a long time to replace them.

The Shangluo Academy, which has developed for nearly three thousand years during the Great Zhou Dynasty, has maintained a relatively low number of high-ranking scholars.

This is peacetime!

If Zhao Xing were to come to power in the future, he would not want to be all alone, without any troops at his disposal.

"The third thing!"

Xu Xing continued.

"The barrier of the Myriad Dao Tree will be activated at 5:00 AM tomorrow and will last for one month."

"During this period, everyone can enter the Plain of Ten Thousand Laws to observe the Myriad Dao Tree."

A cheer erupted from the crowd.

Not only the Agricultural Official, but also the guests who had come from afar, all wore smiles.

Many of them came to the Shangluo Academy specifically because of the Myriad Dao Tree.

If it's just for watching the ceremony, the number of attendees would probably be less than half.

Who has the time to travel all this way just to watch other people fight amongst themselves?

"The Myriad Dao Tree is a treasure, and it is not usually opened on such a large scale, let alone for a whole month."

"It is said that every leaf is a sage's insight into the Dao, and only the highest level of Dao can make the tree trunk grow."

"Although the Agricultural Official, the understanding of the Dao still cannot escape the rules of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements Heaven."

"A month? Then I'd better eat my fill. Once I'm up there, I'm not coming back out!"

"Go up? Even a single leaf of the Myriad Dao Tree carries its own oppressive aura. Few people can climb up to get a close look. Just being able to see it from a distance is already incredibly beneficial!"

"...

7

"Let's go, let's get ready."

On the Ten Thousand Dao Plain, many people stayed behind, waiting for tomorrow to begin.

Zhao Xing and Liu Tianning returned to the warship.

"Well done." Liu Tianning looked at Zhao Xing and praised him generously. "I never imagined you'd grown to this level."

"It's all thanks to the teacher's guidance," Zhao Xing said, bowing slightly.

Without the help of Liu Tianning and Princess Youruo, he would not have been able to obtain his first spiritual energy.

At that time, it wasn't so quick to break through to the Fifth Grade.

As for later, in the Liang King Rebellion, it was because of Liu Tianning that he was given two identities, which allowed him to seize the initiative in advance.

The Heaven Spirit Pearl that followed is now out of the question.

Putting aside Liu Tianning and Princess Youruo, Zhao Xing estimated that he could reach the Fifth Grade in the Emperor Jing's court at a normal pace, and with a bit of luck, he could probably reach the Fourth Grade.

Unlike now, before the Emperor Jing's reign has even ended, he has already been granted the title of Third Grade Rank Marquis. Although he has not yet received the Third Grade Fortune Award, he will be able to receive it as soon as he returns from the Dragon Court Ancient Land.

"I am now officially the first candidate for the Shangluo Academy," Liu Tianning said. "I also have some important matters to discuss with Dean Xu and other important figures from various academies."

"You can stay here for the next few days. You can study the Myriad Dao Tree or visit other treasure lands."

"I'll let you know when the results are in."

The result that Liu Tianning mentioned is the real result.

To put it bluntly, he was going to ask Zhao Xing for some benefits!

Some rare and precious trees bear fruit with tremendous effects.

The drawbacks of the Ten Thousand Laws Clone have always been a source of frustration for Liu Tianning, especially since he led Zhao Xing down this path.

We must prepare for Zhao Xing's outbreak as early as possible and try to delay it.

"Teacher, you can go ahead with your work. I'm not in a hurry," Zhao Xing said with a smile.

"I'll go and study the Myriad Dao Tree."

He could tell that Liu Tianning was a little impatient, and this impatience was partly due to his own actions.

However, he couldn't tell Liu Tianning that the Derivation God Art different; it was the highest level of silencing technique, meaning he couldn't even speak about it if he wanted to.

"Alright, go ahead. But don't try to understand it too deeply, I might call you over for a meal anytime. Some rare fruits bloom and bear fruit in an instant."

"Yes." Zhao Xing bowed and took his leave.

After leaving the Golden Dragon Warship, Zhao Xing planned to pilot his Silver Dragon Flying Vessel to the entrance of the barrier in the Ten Thousand Dao Plain to wait.

"Senior Brother, are we going to the Ten Thousand Dao Plain to wait for the Myriad Dao Tree to open?" Ji Ziyun appeared at the bow of the ship.

"Junior Sister, are you going too?"

"Yes," Ji Ziyun nodded. "Can I ride in my Senior Brother's boat?"

"Of course, come on up." Zhao Xing glanced at Ji Ziyun with some surprise.

The two have known each other for over a decade; they are old acquaintances.

He noticed that Ji Ziyun seemed a little awkward around him lately.

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Ji Ziyun obediently flew onto the boat and took the initiative to steer the flying boat for Zhao Xing.

However, not long after it flew out, it was surrounded by a group of people.

"Divine Might Marquis! Zhang Zhen, Classics Scholar from the Heaven Bamboo Institute of the Shangluo Academy, requests an audience."

"Dr. Zhao, I am Wu Lei from the Wisteria Institute. I sincerely seek your guidance."

"Professor Zhao, could you please tell us about your ' New Treatise on True Self Heavenly Creations '?"

"Dr. Zhao, I have a question—"

Various small boats approached from the outside, all looking at Zhao Xing with eager eyes.

"Senior Brother," Ji Ziyun called out as she turned around, "So many people are looking for you."

"Hmm?" Zhao Xing came out.

All that could be seen in front of the airship were dark masses of people and small boats.

They were all calling out their own names.

"I'm that famous now?" Zhao Xing couldn't help but smile.

Previously, he was Liu Tianning's "number one warrior" and came with a mission.

Back then, who would dare to go up and ask for advice?

Now that the dispute over right-of-way is over, there's nothing left to worry about.

As soon as they saw Zhao Xing's Silver Dragon Flying Vessel leave, they all chased after Zhao Xing!

Zhao Xing was also well aware of why this situation had occurred.

New Treatise on True Self Heavenly Creations!

At that time, Pang Yuanzhen brought back two new papers.

After more than a year of fermentation, it is now known to everyone in the Shangluo Academy!

The higher-ups praised this new theory highly, while the middle and lower classes idolized it!

Zhao Xing's True Self Heavenly Creation Theory elevated the status of the True Self Faction!

In today's world, the Time Faction is the mainstream, while the Earthly Advantage Faction is not far behind and can be considered a prominent school of thought.

The True Self Faction alone is considered a minor path!

The Five Elements and Four Seasons Theory of the True Self Faction" is called the " Lesser Five Elements and Four Seasons Theory " by the Time Faction" and the Earthly Advantage Faction ".

How infuriating! How despicable!

But they didn't have much to refute.

However, Zhao Xing's two new treatises caused the Agricultural Official of the Shangluo Academy to have an orgasm!

Using miraculous plants to Heavenly Timing and nourish the earth.

It completely places the True Self Faction above the "favorable Time Faction" and "Earthly Advantage Faction!

From then on, when encountering the other two factions of the Agricultural Official, they no longer needed to simply be subservient.

Instead, it's based on reason and evidence; if you disagree, come and debate!

Ji Ziyun: "Senior Brother, we're completely blocked. They're all after your new work."

"Many were wearing doctoral gowns, and some were even dean's gowns."

"Senior Brother, why don't we explain it to them?"

Zhao Xing said, "This is not a suitable place to talk; there are too many people here."

Ji Ziyun nodded. "That's true. If there are students as fanatical as Lin Yuejia and Liu Hui, and someone disrespects you, Senior Brother, they might suddenly attack."

Zhao Xing asked, somewhat surprised, "How do you know so much about this?"

Lin Yuejia was one of the first students to attend his lectures at the Mystic Heaven Academy.

Liu Hui was sent by Zhou Cheng to cause trouble, but during that lesson, Zhao Xing produced the "Great Circuit Treatise".

Not only was Liu Hui impressed, but even his teacher joined him.

Logically speaking, this is a relatively niche matter, so how did Ji Ziyun know about it?

"Lin Yuejia, was this arranged by you?" Zhao Xing stared at Ji Ziyun.

A hint of panic appeared on the latter's face. "I... I didn't mean to look down on my Senior Brother, I just wanted to—"

Zhao Xing laughed and said, "How could I blame you? If you're going to use shills, you should use more, otherwise it won't be convincing. Junior Sister, next time you do something..."

Remember to be generous.

Ji Ziyun was taken aback, then nodded obediently. "Yes, Senior Brother is right, I will definitely pay attention next time."

More and more people are gathering, and this can't go on.

Zhao Xing then Rising Wind message to say, "I am grateful for your kind words, but the Myriad Dao Tree is about to begin, and it is not appropriate to discuss the Dao with you all here."

"I will be making a fool of myself at the Debate Dao Field of the Shangluo Academy in a month. Please leave now."

The sound rose with the wind and spread outwards in concentric circles.

Upon hearing this, although everyone was somewhat reluctant, they also knew that the place was too chaotic to ask for advice.

With the help of people inside the academy maintaining order, everyone dispersed.

The 37th year of the Jingxin Calendar, the 10th day of the 6th month, at the hour of Mao (

At the stroke of the hour, the Myriad Dao Tree barrier of the Shangluo Academy opens.

The crowd that had been waiting on the plains for a long time immediately flew towards the Myriad Dao Tree.

Zhao Xing also took to the clouds and flew forward with the others.

The towering tree, tens of thousands of meters tall, sways and shines between heaven and earth.

The saying goes, "Looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death." The tree seemed so close, but it actually took two or three minutes to fly to it.

"Metaphor"

When Zhao Xing was still a hundred meters away from the Myriad Dao Tree, he felt a force of heaven and earth pushing outward.

"When numerous Daoist principles appear in one place, it is generally difficult for ordinary people to approach."

Zhao Xing looked ahead and could clearly feel that his speed had slowed down.

If one cannot withstand the pressure of the Dao, there is no way to continue forward.

After finding their limits, many people sat down and pondered from afar.

"Senior Brother, I can't go any further." Ji Ziyun's face turned red.

She was surrounded by the true essence of fire, and if she continued forward, she would not even be able to maintain flight.

"To have reached this point at the Fifth Grade, Junior Sister, you've done quite well," Zhao Xing said. "You should continue your meditation here."

"Yes, Senior Brother, you don't need to worry about me."

Zhao Xing nodded and continued flying forward.

The pressure from the Dao was growing stronger.

However, he was still able to fly forward.

"When I broke through to the Pure Yuan Realm, I comprehended each of the Five Elements to a high level of perfection. At that time, I merged with the Straw Man Art Body, thus achieving the Ten Thousand Laws Dao Body with all Five Elements."

"Now that I am under the pressure of the Dao, my resistance is much stronger than that of ordinary people."

To condense a pure primordial body, one needs to comprehend the Dao of the Five Elements.

The vast majority of people, whether they are martial arts professionals or magic professionals, enter the Dao through the Five Elements.

The names are just different. For example, martial artists call it the Frost Golden Body, the Blazing Sun Golden Body, or the Thunder Golden Body, while mages call it the Frost Dao Body, the Blazing Sun Dao Body, or the Thunder Dao Body, and so on.

When one reaches the highest level of enlightenment, one draws upon one of the five elements to condense a pure primordial body, causing the body to begin to transform. That is the process of reaching the Fifth-Rank Pure Yuan realm.

But with each additional path, the difficulty increases exponentially. Talent and energy determine that most people can only comprehend a single path.

This approach has advantages in some aspects, but also disadvantages.

For example, the Frost Golden Body is less effective in places with strong fire elemental energy. However, it has advantages in certain environments. For instance, in the Eternal Night Sea, when fishing for Spirit Fish from the ice layer, the Frost Golden Body and Dao Body were highly sought after.

The myriad Dao essences emanating from the leaves and branches of the Myriad Dao Tree are now influencing the rotation of the Five Elements in the world.

Their Dao power is mostly at the True Meaning level; cultivating only a single Dao makes it difficult to approach the Myriad Dao Tree. Of course, if they reach a high level, that's a different story.

You can continue on a single path even if you only cultivate one one.

The Ten Thousand Laws Dao Body, formed by the convergence of the Five Elements, is exclusively for geniuses.

Zhao Xing's Daoist body is almost flawless.

They reached the Myriad Dao Tree relatively easily.

"Let's start by looking at the leaves."

Zhao Xing did not continue forward, because the branches and trunk were both extremely powerful Dao, left behind by those of the first and super first rank.

That was a Dao that completely distorted the rules of heaven and earth. When Zhao Xing tried to comprehend it, he couldn't see anything at all and was easily trapped in it.

"Proceed step by step."

Zhao Xing flew over the outer layer of the dense branches and leaves.

"The leaves of the Myriad Dao Tree are very concentrated. The golden leaves represent the metal element, and the green leaves represent the wood element."

"When one comprehends the Five Elements to the highest level, which is the third level of the Yin Yang True Self Scripture, one can see the ' Five Elements Particles '."

"My Ten Thousand Laws Dao Body will also reach the top level, at which point I can break through to the Third-Rank Realm," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

What's the difference between him and Third-Rank Yuan Soul cultivator?

It lies in his physical body, as well as the deep integration of his vital energy and Fate Soul.

"With a stronger physique and Fate Soul residing in the womb, the house will become even larger."

"When the Fate Soul and vital energy merge, and the physical body contains top-level Dao essence, the Essence Soul Leaving the Body."

The reason it is called "the Essence Soul Leaving the Body" rather than "the Fate Soul" is because vital energy is also an important part of leaving the body.

"At that time, one can travel to the Yin Realm, where one can Yin Realm and search for treasures."

Zhao Xing searched for leaves that could move him.

His Fate Soul was already at the Third Grade.

Once the remaining conditions are met, one can truly enter the Third-Rank Realm.

"Many people get stuck at this stage because of their Fate Soul realm, but I'm different," Zhao Xing said with a smile.

Since the Great Zhou did not promote the cultivation method of Fate Soul, it was extremely difficult for someone at the Fourth Grade to cultivate to the Third Grade own during this period.

He may have entered the perfect Fourth Grade realm for many years, but his Fate Soul is still only at the early Fourth Grade, or even the Fifth Grade.

The mainstream method was to be granted a method of cultivating Fate Soul by the imperial court.

Once you receive a reward, it means you'll be promoted to the Third Grade rank.

Even if you don't receive a reward, consuming some rare Fate Soul treasures, such as Fate Soul Pill or Soul Heaven Fruit, will suffice.

If neither of the above two conditions is met, one can also go to the battlefield and engage in life-or-death combat.

On the battlefield, one must be on high alert, and the life-or-death struggle is akin to high-intensity training for Fate Soul.

Of course, this kind of training is relatively inefficient, and only one in ten thousand people can succeed in training like this.

This shows how difficult it is to advance through self-study, and even if the path to advancement opens up, one may not necessarily succeed in self-study.

"Drip drip drip~"

A blue leaf swayed, and a light rain began to fall within a ten-meter radius in front of it.

With a thought, Zhao Xing immediately arrived under the leaves of the water-element tree.

"Drip drip drip~"

The leaves are oval-shaped, twenty meters long and four meters wide.

At this moment, three people at the Fourth Grade of perfect enlightenment were meditating under the blue leaves.

Upon seeing Zhao Xing approach, one of them immediately rose from his cross-legged position, cupped his hands in greeting to Zhao Xing, and said, "I am Yang Long from the Divine Martial Academy, Divine Might Marquis. Please."

"Divine Might Marquis, please."

The other two also stood up.

The three people were all martial artists who had come specifically for the Myriad Dao Tree.

They were very Guest Qi to Zhao Xing.

They were even somewhat close, because Zhao Xing came from the military and had killed the Heavenly Xia King during the suppression of the rebellion. In terms of martial prowess and military achievements, Zhao Xing deserved their respect.

"Brother Yang, there's no need for you to Guest Qi." Zhao Xing also cupped his hands in greeting. "I'll just take a small corner."

The space is large enough, after all, the leaves are twenty meters long.

Time was precious, so the group didn't stand on ceremony.

The three martial artists and Zhao Xing continued their comprehension.

"Drip drip drip~"

Blue raindrops fell.

It quickly seeped into his body, constantly cleansing Zhao Xing's Ten Thousand Laws Dao Body.

"Gnawing~"

The true meaning of water contained in the water droplets rapidly destroyed Zhao Xing's body.

Zhao Xing's flesh and blood, as well as his meridians, were damaged.

However, it was repaired by the vital energy within the body in the blink of an eye.

"Water Drop entering the body can damage the body's foundation, but the degree of damage is controllable," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "It's equivalent to destroying..."

During the restoration process, I enhanced my understanding of water-related principles.

Yang Long and the other two all possessed a Water-based Golden Body, with one having an Ice-based Golden Body and the other Weak Water Golden Body.

While being damaged by the water droplets, their water-based Golden Body are also undergoing rapid self-repair.

"Many water droplets falling together are like a group of top-tier soldiers attacking the city of the body."

"After a few more times, you'll know how to defend your body like a fortress."

"At the same time, I have also transformed myself to the top level."

When Zhao Xing was comprehending, he would occasionally use his divine eye to observe the three people's understanding.

The principle seems simple, but it's actually not difficult.

Zhao Xing only sat for a short while before gaining a preliminary understanding of the top-level water-based techniques.

"Zhelili~"

The water droplets fell on his flesh, unable to damage his body any further, and instead flowed downstream.

"Um?"

Yang Long and the other two sensed something and opened their eyes.

"Divine Might Marquis, have you finally understood?"

"Hmm, I was fortunate enough to comprehend the true meaning of the Third Grade Dust Water True Intent."

The Dust Water True Intent" is simply the lowest level, the most ordinary water, which can be found everywhere in the world.

The most common way to enter the Third Grade is through the true meaning of the Water Path Body and Golden Body.

"Common" means that most people can only grasp this level of understanding.

People like Yang Long are self-aware.

If one cannot even grasp the Dust Water True Intent, how can one talk about anything else?

Zhao Xing cupped his hands in greeting and said, "I won't disturb you three any longer. I plan to go and take a look elsewhere."

"Divine Might Marquis, please."

The three men cupped their hands in a respectful gesture, their bodies still steaming.

A drop of water falling on them creates a small hole.

I simply can't concentrate.

Seeing how easily Zhao Xing grasped the true meaning of water, Yang Long and the others couldn't help but marvel at the difference between people.

Zhao Xing attained enlightenment within the time it took to burn an incense stick.

It seems he quite disdains the "Dust Water True Intent" and has no intention of using this path to reach the Third Grade.

"The difference between people is greater than the difference between a person and a dog," Yang Long remarked, before continuing his contemplation.

Zhao Xing's talent in the water element surpasses that of the other elements.

After finding a leaf with the "Dust Water True Intent," he casually studied it for about ten minutes and easily mastered it.

However, if one wants to enter the Third Grade with a top-tier Dao body, the Dust Water True Intent is not enough.

"The true essence of water that can be cultivated to the first rank includes: One Yuan Heavy Water, Heaven One True Water, Profound Darkness True Water, Weak Water, Taiyin True Water, and Three Lights Divine Water."

"North Sea Gui Water, etc."

"The true essence of fire that can be cultivated to the first rank includes the South Bright Li Fire, the Sun True Fire, the Divine Six Ding Divine Fire, the Samadhi True Fire, and the Profound Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire."

"The Wood True Intent that can be cultivated to the first rank includes Qingqiu Yi Wood, Taiyin Jian Wood, Sun Celestial Mulberry, Cangwu, Immortal, and Yellow Springs, etc."

"The true essence of metal that can be cultivated to the first rank includes the Sun Geng Metal), the Taiyin Xin Metal), and the Grand Yi Refined Metal)."

"One can cultivate to the true meaning of the first grade of Earth, including the true meanings of Celestial Pivot Xu Earth, Earth Treasury, Mysterious Mystic Earth, and Spirit Mountain True Intent."

"Whether it's Golden Body or a Dao body, the stronger your grasp of the Dao, the further you can go."

"A top-tier Dao Body is also more durable," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Although it's a magic-based profession, it's still best to improve one's physical fitness.

For example, the Wood True Intent in the first grade contains the Undying True Intent.

Legend has it that there is an Undying Divine Tree between heaven and earth. The Undying True Intent is to analyze this tree. If one masters the Undying True Intent, one's body will have an inexhaustible source of vitality and the fastest rate of recovery in the world.

As long as you don't get instantly killed, you're practically invincible.

Of course, this statement is a bit of an exaggeration.

At most, they can't be worn down to death; they can't be killed outright.

"Within each of the Third Grade ranks (upper, middle, and lower), the difference in combat power becomes very significant."

"Even a third-rank Third Grade like Ye Yukong possesses a top-tier Golden Body, powerful enough to distort the rules of heaven and earth."

The Five Elements True Meaning refines the Dao Body into Golden Body. With this foundation, every action can influence the rules of heaven and earth; otherwise, there is no point in discussing it.

The same set of martial arts techniques or spells can have different effects depending on who uses them.

"The Myriad Dao Tree basically encompasses all the paths. Here, you can find almost anything you want. It's just a matter of whether you can comprehend it and learn it." Zhao Xing glanced around.

Shangluo Academy is one of the Shennong Holy Land, and the Myriad Dao Tree are rare treasures within the sacred site.

From Zhao Xing's perspective, although there are still a few Myriad Dao Tree in the world, the one unique to the Shangluo Academy should be considered a rare treasure.

However, Shangluo Academy need not compete for this empty fame, because everyone knows that the Myriad Dao Tree here is the most powerful.

"There are quite a few Five Elements True Meanings that can be cultivated to the first rank. Let's see which ones are more suitable for me." Zhao Xing quickly found a lot of leaves and branches.

How do you determine what's right for you? If it's relatively easy to understand, then it's probably right for you.

Otherwise, it's not suitable.

Time flies, and Heavenly Timing have passed in the blink of an eye.

On June 13th, Zhao Xing sat on a branch of the Myriad Dao Tree, looking at the three leaves in front of him.

The leaves are only the size of a palm, as if they were newly sprouted.

The three leaves are decorated with patterns of the sun, moon, and stars, emitting a hazy blue light.

The intertwined rays of light impacted Zhao Xing's body.

A moment later, the same light also appeared on Zhao Xing's body, as the power of water formed stars, the sun, and the moon, intertwined together.

The feeling of oppression vanished instantly.

"The Three Lights Divine Water True Intent." Zhao Xing opened his eyes, smiled, and bowed to a wooden tablet at the junction of the branches and the main trunk.

"Thank you very much, Senior Mang Ya Zi."

Zhao Xing didn't know who Mang Ya Zi was; the wooden tablet only bore a name and a date: the 13th year of the Profound Yellow Calendar 2005.

Year.

One cycle is 120 years, and we are now in the 72nd year of the 4416th cycle of the Profound Yellow Calendar.

Two hundred and ninety thousand years have passed since then.

The distance is too great, and many events have become blurred.

All that exists are the principles left by our predecessors.

On June 13th, Zhao Xing began to comprehend the Sun Geng Metal True Intent.

He arrived at a treehouse.

The surrounding leaves were all golden, with narrow and sharp blades. When Zhao Xing stepped into this area, he felt a stinging and burning sensation.

"It can be cultivated to the first rank of the Sun Geng Metal True Intent."

Zhao Xing looked at the treehouse hidden by the leaves, which seemed like a Solar Yang shining brightly on the tree.

Even with his third eye activated and all his might applied, Zhao Xing could only see a few ancient characters and decipher their meaning.

"Yage? Is that a name or a place name?"

"Never mind, it's not important."

Zhao Xing entered this area and began to comprehend it.

Whenever he gained some insight, he would take a step forward, trying to get closer to the treehouse.

Even though the tree trunk beneath his feet was as thick as an eight-horse carriage, Zhao Xing felt as if he were walking on a tightrope, or as if he were stepping on a mountain of knives.

On June 20th, Zhao Xing arrived at the door of the treehouse.

At this point, he had already grasped the basic Sun Geng Metal True Intent.

After much deliberation, he decided not to continue pushing forward.

"Perhaps there are some valuable items passed down from ancient times here, but I don't necessarily need to get them."

"My goal is simply to break through to the Third Grade; a basic grasp is sufficient, there's no need to waste any more time."

To condense Third Grade Dao body, one only needs to grasp the basics; the first-grade true meaning can be gradually cultivated later.

Zhao Xing cupped his hands in greeting and decisively withdrew.

That afternoon, he found another wooden cabin.

"What a magnificent vitality!"

Zhao Xing felt his blood and qi instantly fill up and start circulating automatically.

In an instant, my heart rate increased, and my blood and qi surged like the ocean.

The intense vitality seemed to overwhelm everything, as if it would destroy the very structure of human life!

Zhao Xing actually grew three centimeters taller in that instant.

Moreover, he subconsciously wanted to control the Great Peng Transformation.

"Incredible! The vitality is as boundless as heaven and earth, giving one the feeling that the Hou Bian Method has been mistakenly practiced."

"Only the Dao of Azure Firmament True Intent Azure Firmament True Intent can evoke such a feeling," Zhao Xing immediately realized.

Those who cultivate to the first rank of the Dao's true meaning are easily recognizable because they are all unique existences.

Without hesitation, Zhao Xing immediately sat down to contemplate the matter.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the eighth day of the seventh lunar month.

Liu Tianning sailed the Golden Dragon Warship to the Ten Thousand Dao Plain and looked at the Myriad Dao Tree in the distance.

As soon as Ji Ziyun saw the warship approaching, she ran aboard.

"Dean Liu."

"Hmm, he's still inside the Myriad Dao Tree?"

"Yes." Ji Ziyun nodded obediently.

"Okay, I understand." Liu Tianning nodded.

He then turned to a middle-aged man with a kind face and said, "Ren Jiu, go to the Ten Thousand Dao Formation Department. If my disciple is still comprehending the Dao the day after tomorrow, do not disturb him."

"Yes, Dean." Ren Jiu was Third Grade Mechanism Master.

Although the Myriad Dao Tree will only be open for a month, Zhao Xing can comprehend it for as long as he wants.

Who told him to be Liu Tianning's disciple?

Since the takeover went more smoothly than expected, Liu Tianning did not immediately call Zhao Xing out.

Given his current situation, he can easily make the treasure wait for him, without having Zhao Xing come out to wait for it.

On the tenth day of the seventh month, the barrier of the Myriad Dao Tree reopened, and most people were moved out.

Only a few distinguished guests, as well as the most important geniuses and powerful figures in the Shangluo Academy, are still there to comprehend the teachings.

Zhao Xing was one of them.

The Three Lights Divine Water True Intent, the Azure Firmament True Intent, and the Sun Geng Metal True Intent.

He is now comprehending the fourth true meaning— the Li Fire True Intent.

"I came into contact with the Dao of the Blazing Fire Academy when I was at the Ninth Grade. The Dao of the Li Fire True Lord is to change the rules of heaven and earth, embed his own Dao into heaven and earth, and take its place."

"For the next twenty years or so, I also frequently visited the Li Fire Dao Academy to use the Li Fire Divine Altar."

"That feeling is far more advanced than what I've comprehended yet; it's already at the level of 'Establishing the Dao and Forming Heaven and Earth,' which, even with the Spiritual Energy Revival, is still the ceiling level of the Profound Yellow World."

"Looking back at those scenes of using the Li Fire Divine Altar, I spent fifteen days to gain a preliminary understanding of the Li Fire True Intent."

Zhao Xing patted the small flame on his body.

In three days, one can master the Three Lights Divine Water True Intent; in seven days, one can master the Sun Geng Metal True Intent; in five days, one can master the true meaning of Azure Firmament True Intent; and in fifteen days, one can master the Li Fire True Intent.

"Now only the true meaning of earth remains to be mastered."

In fact, Zhao Xing could have broken through to the Third Grade as soon as he mastered the first true meaning.

However, he has high standards, so how could he possibly choose just one path to follow?

"Huh? It's already the tenth of July, why haven't I been moved out yet?"

Xu Xing said it would be open for one month, from the tenth day of the sixth lunar month to the tenth day of the seventh lunar month.

But it is now the tenth day of the seventh lunar month, and he has still not been moved out of the Magic Array.

Upon uncovering the site, they found a message left by Old Liu.

"So you're telling me I don't have to rush and can stay as long as I want?"

Zhao Xing chuckled silently.

"That's true. Following Dean Liu into the Shangluo Academy, that battle sealed my fate and meant I'd suffer for the rest of my life."

"The rest is all about enjoying life."

If we compare the Shangluo Academy to a country.

Old Liu is the emperor, then he is the crown prince!

"Hehe, hehe."

Zhao Xing laughed triumphantly.

He was completely focused during that match.

We must put all our energy into that game and make sure to give Old Liu a great start.

Little did I expect that the beginning would also be the end.

"Then study it carefully and grasp the final essence of earth."

Zhao Xing quickly sought out the true meaning of earth that suited him.

July 11th.

Zhao Xing found a patch of exposed rootstock beneath the main trunk of the Myriad Dao Tree.

The rhizome is decorated with many mountain patterns.

"The Spirit Mountain True Intent."

Zhao Xing seemed to understand something.

Because this section of root was so large and went deep underground, Zhao Xing had to use his teleportation technique to go deep underground to observe it.

From July 11th to August 11th.

It took Zhao Xing a whole month to master the Spirit Mountain True Intent.

The Spirit Mountain True Intent is not actually the first choice for condensing a top-level Dao body. However, considering that he will need to learn Mountain Art in the future, Zhao Xing is determined to master it.

Because in the future, when his Ten Thousand Laws Dao Body uses the Mountain Art and masters the Spirit Mountain True Intent, he will be able to learn it faster and with greater power. For example, the Ninth Order heavy weapon of the Kun Yuan Underground Palace, the [Ten Thousand Layer Mountain], is a treasure of the Spirit Mountain Institute.

He can easily wield this giant Divine Soldier.

If one were to grasp other true meanings, the energy required to activate them would be even greater.

If one does not grasp the true meaning of earth, or has a weak grasp of the true meaning of earth, then driving it will be much less effective.

Before the mountain could even be smashed down, I was already exhausted.

"That's about it."

Zhao Xing used the Tears Scale Horizon to leave the Myriad Dao Tree and appeared on the outer plains.

"Teacher, I need a place with abundant vital energy, and I need a lot of nourishing substances for it."

Zhao Xing immediately sent a message to Liu Tianning.

"Come find me at the entrance of Divine Splendor Institute."

Liu Tianning's reply was very concise.

Zhao Xing judged the direction, then activated the Tears Scale Horizon and quickly disappeared from the spot.

Divine Splendor Institute is the birthplace of the Condensation Art, one of the four methods of the True Self Faction.

Legend has it that one of the founders of the Shangluo Academy created the Condense Essence Series of spells here.

From then on, the Primal School of Agriculture gained a new magic spell.

The characteristic of the Condensation Art is that it adjusts itself according to the environment to obtain the best growth path.

It differs from the Foundation Strengthening Art in that it does not destructively extract the vital energy of heaven and earth, but rather achieves harmonious coexistence with heaven and earth.

~

Liu Tianning appeared at the door, sizing up his disciple. "Are you about to break through to the Third Grade?"

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded.

"The true meaning of the Five Elements, which five did you choose?" Liu Tianning asked.

Those who cultivate the Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet are basically all Ten Thousand Laws Dao Body; there is no other choice.

"Cangwu, Gengjin, Sanguang, Spirit Mountain, Blazing Fire Academy".

Liu Tianning nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, these are all Dao True Meanings that can be cultivated to the first rank."

Zhao Xing learned top-level law two years ago.

Once you've learned the Dharma, it will be much easier to understand the pure Way of Heaven and Earth by simply organizing what you've learned.

Should one cultivate the Dharma first or attain enlightenment first? Either is fine; it depends on the individual.

For exceptional geniuses like Liu Tianning and Zhao Xing, the difference is negligible.

"Let's go to Divine Splendor Pool," Liu Tianning said.

"Isn't the Divine Splendor Pool only opened once every ten years?" Zhao Xing was taken aback. "Teacher, I don't need to be so extravagant—"

"I said it will open today, so it has to open today," Liu Tianning said calmly.

"You can also absorb some of the ' Four Seasons Divine Splendor ' from the Divine Splendor Pool."

"It is of great benefit to your Pure Origin Soil and the growth of Duckweed."

"You are the third person in the world to master the ultimate Straw Man Art Agricultural Official; how can you call it extravagance and waste?"

Zhao Xing could not refuse Liu Tianning's kindness, so he could only cup his hands in greeting and say, "Teacher is wise."

Liu Tianning took Zhao Xing's hand, and a pair of vines appeared behind them, forming wings. "Let's go."

Activate the Floating Roaming Heavens.

The next moment, Zhao Xing was led by Liu Tianning to a pool filled with the aura of a misty box.

"This is the place where the Divine Splendor Institute is most abundant."

"The heavens above the Divine Splendor Pool follow the changes of the Great Heavenly Timing, with the six Qi being born in turn every breath."

"Gather the essence of the six elements: the morning sun, the midday sun, the flowing Flying Spring, the Heaven's Energy qi, and the Earth's Energy."

"Place it above Divine Splendor Pool."

"The land beneath the Divine Splendor Pool contains a piece of twenty-eight top-grade Earth Vein Earth Vein Nineteen Provinces; this is called the essence of the earth."

Liu Tianning was also well-versed in both law and principle; in his youth, he annotated the classics of the three schools of thought.

During his century of seclusion in the Military Realm, he even wrote "The 149 Seasonal Transformations of the Monthly Ordinances," which collected various Hou Transformation from Grotto-Heaven and blessed lands, explained their principles, and how to quell and utilize them.

When he took over the Shangluo Academy, he could quickly get the hang of any treasures, ancient layout, or other unique features.

"The four sides of Divine Splendor Pool are dominated by spring in the east. Plant 108,000 divine trees of early, middle, and late spring."

"Winter governs the North; plant the Yin Spirit for early winter, mid-winter, and deep winter, exactly 108,000." East Spring, South Summer, West Autumn, North Winter. "Summer governs the South; plant the three Yang trees for early summer, mid-summer, and late summer, exactly 108,000."

"Autumn governs the west; plant 108,000 sacred trees in early autumn, mid-autumn, late autumn, and third autumn."

Zhao Xing feigned curiosity and asked, "Where's the water, teacher?"

Liu Tianning smiled and said, "What's inside isn't water, it's primordial energy."

"The primordial energy has liquefied, and the Divine Splendor Pool is filled with the essence of heaven and earth's primordial energy."

Zhao Xing showed a hint of surprise at just the right moment.

Liu Tianning nodded in satisfaction. He felt indebted to Zhao Xing and now wanted to give Zhao Xing the best.

"Absorbing the Four Seasons Divine Splendor, I broke through to the Third Grade through the liquefaction of primordial energy."

"With your abundant vital energy, powerful primordial spirit, and robust Dao body, you are undoubtedly among the strongest third-rank Third Grade in the world!"

Zhao Xing knew, of course, that this was true.

If the strongest foundation for the Third Grade is not in the Shangluo Academy, then where is it?

He is the strongest first-level cultivator of the Derivation God Art, a feat that even Old Liu, at the Third Grade, could not match!

"Are you ready?" Liu Tianning asked.

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded excitedly.

My leveling path in this life is simply perfect!

"Divine Splendor Pool, open!"

Holding the Shangluo Jade Scepter, Liu Tianning unleashed Golden Light that plunged into the nitrogen and hydrogen gas ahead.

"Go!"

Then Liu Tianning pushed Zhao Xing forward.

Gurgle~~

Zhao Xing immediately fell into a pool full of vital energy.

"I'll inhale!!"

Three flowers appeared on the head, and five kinds of energy surged from the body.

With the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and the Five Qi Converging at the Origin, Zhao Xing didn't need to consciously absorb them; the vital energy surged into his body on its own.

At the same time, a divine light shone on Zhao Xing's body from all four directions: east, west, south, and north.

The Four Seasons Divine Splendor!

Part of the light was intercepted by the Seven Po and then shone into his Sea of Consciousness.

The Fate Soul begins to merge with the primordial energy.

"Ah~~"

Zhao Xing let out a comfortable moan.

Top-tier comprehension, top-tier cultivation path, top-tier breakthrough location, top-tier cultivation resources—even the timing was auspicious!

With favorable timing, Favorable Timing, Location, and People, and people, Zhao Xing immediately embarked on his path to breakthrough.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Zhao Xing had already spent seven days in the Divine Splendor Pool.

At this moment, even Xu Xing couldn't help but run over.

"It's been more than seven days?"

"Mm." Liu Tianning nodded.

"I've surpassed you," Xu Xing remarked. "You only stayed in the Divine Splendor Pool for seven days."

"My foundation, Third Grade is the best in the world, has been maintained for hundreds of years. Yours hasn't even lasted a hundred years before it was broken by my disciple."

"A disciple doesn't necessarily have to be inferior to his master. He surpasses me, which proves that the student can surpass the teacher." Liu Tianning said happily.

In the Divine Splendor Pool, Zhao Xing absorbed the essence to his heart's content.

At this moment, his Pure Origin Soil has achieved another breakthrough.

The height has been increased from 2,505 meters to 10,086 meters.

Level 6 soil!

"The Four Seasons Divine Splendor: The most advanced way to utilize primordial energy in this era."

"He nurtured the Pure Origin Soil, giving it the characteristics of all four Pure Origin Soil."

"From now on, I can plant any kind of plant in my Pure Yuan Space, regardless of the season, without having to carefully select them anymore."

Zhao Xing's mind sank down, and he arrived at the center of the soil.

At this moment, a vine was spreading out vigorously.

"At this moment, the Duckweed finally matured."

"Seventh Order peak-level Floating Vine!"

The Floating Vine seedlings were given to Zhao Xing by Liu Tianning when he left Ten Yang Grotto-Heaven.

That was in the twentieth year of New Splendor Era.

It took seventeen years for the Floating Vine to mature and reach its peak.

"It's really not easy," Zhao Xing said with emotion.

He then looked at a seed the size of a fist in the center of the soil.

A faint gray mist emanated from it.

"This Void Seed shows no signs of sprouting yet."

The mysterious seed was obtained from the Great Dream Academy.

At the time, Zhao Xing only determined that it was Void Seed.

But I don't know exactly what it is.

If it doesn't sprout, no one can tell.

"The only place where the conditions for Void Seed to sprout is probably the Dragon Court Ancient Land," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

The Shangluo Academy should also have the capability, but he wouldn't abuse Old Liu's power.

The cultivation of Void Seed consumes far more resources than it can handle.

If it can be of great use, that would be best.

If something that doesn't belong to this era is grown, it will be a huge burden for the Shangluo Academy.

"The Dragon Court Ancient Land and the Southern Barbarian Holy Mountain are both good places," Zhao Xing thought honestly.

Even after breaking through the Pure Origin Soil, Zhao Xing's own evolution continued.

With his Fate Soul fused with primordial energy, he already possessed the ability for his Essence Soul Leaving the Body.

At this moment, Zhao Xing's shadow filled the entire Divine Splendor Pool.

That's his Fate Soul splitting apart, each part absorbing!

On the twenty-fifth day, a seven-colored radiance burst forth from the Divine Splendor Pool.

Then a figure emerged from the seven-colored Divine Radiance.

"They're out!"

"Twenty-five days, that's already a record."

"My God, could it be that in this era, our Shangluo Academy is truly destined to rise to prominence?"

"You stopped in time."

"Yes, it was the right choice."

At this moment, many powerful thoughts were exchanging ideas beside the Divine Splendor Pool.

They all witnessed the birth of a new era.

Following Liu Tianning breaking Xu Xing's record for the strongest Third Grade foundation.

His disciple Zhao Xing has broken a new record!

It has raised the upper limit of the strongest Third Grade foundation to another level.

Twenty-five days in a row!

It is even the highest record recorded by the Shangluo Academy.

"How is it?" Liu Tianning asked.

"That was awesome!" Zhao Xing grinned.

"Hahahaha." Liu Tianning also burst into laughter, a rare occurrence for him.

"The Shangluo Academy has worthy successors!" Xu Xing chuckled. "To hear such news before I die, even in death, is a cause for celebration!"

Xu Xing could not become the Shennong God because his Fate Soul was split and he went mad.

If one cannot transform into Yin Spirit after death, and is forcibly transformed, one will become Evil God.

When Zhao Xing was in Tianhe Prefecture, he did not see the leader of the True Self Faction.

Zhao Xing then realized that there were many big shots around him, such as Yu Xia, Jiang Yaochun, Zhuang Danian, and Chu Qianqiu, and quickly restrained his unrestrained demeanor.

Zhuang Danian looked at Zhao Xing, feeling extremely fortunate.

What's the point of arguing about such a monster?

Thank goodness I didn't send my apprentice to his death.

Chu Qianqiu's expression was complicated. Liu Tianning's faction was getting stronger with each generation.

"Grand-disciple," Xu Xing said slowly, "Your breakthrough this time was already at the end of August."

Zhao Xing nodded. "Yes, Grandmaster."

Xu Xing, "You promised to discuss Dao with many scholars in the Ten Thousand Dao Plain, and you have missed almost two months now. If you are not tired, go to the Debate Dao Field and give a talk."

Zhao Xing nodded; he had indeed been delayed by other matters.

It is indeed time to go out Debate Dao Field at the Daoist temple. Having used the resources of the Shangluo Academy, only when one's reputation is great enough and one has made enough contributions, and one's virtue matches one's position, will one not attract criticism.

"Grandmaster, Master, I am in high spirits now," Zhao Xing said with a smile. "I will go to the Debate Dao Field now."

Xu Xing laughed and said, "I've heard that your New Treatise on True Self Heavenly Creations still has many parts that haven't been detailed enough?"

"Yes."

"Haha, okay," Xu Xing. "Don't rush this time."

"Speak slowly and clearly. I, your grandmaster, also want to hear your profound insights!"
