Soldier Envoy Divine Art and the Three Factions' Top-Tier Arts-Ji Che's Request!

"I wanted to lure you out through cause and effect, but I didn't expect that you, this neutral force, would appear decades earlier than I thought—I didn't expect to meet you."

Faced with the mysterious girl's question, many thoughts flashed through Zhao Xing's mind.

Seeing that Zhao Xing did not answer, the girl waved her flower petals and pulled Zhao Xing closer.

Zhao Xing let her carry him.

Several days ago, when he noticed the strange feeling in his heart, he had already switched the original body and the clone.

There's no need for the deity to personally come to comprehend it; the deity is already outside this area, waiting for any changes to occur before coming over.

"The Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet? I only just figured it out?" The girl looked at Zhao Xing curiously. "Are you the Shangluo in this generation of the Central Zhou Dynasty?"

"No, your Ten Thousand Laws Clone seems a bit different. Let me take a closer look."

The girl moved closer to Zhao Xing, sniffed at Zhao Xing neck, then tugged at Zhao Xing ears and hair. She then waved her hand, turning Zhao Xing upside down, head up and feet down.

A pair of soft little hands kept kneading, as if a master were shaping the Bone One of an ordinary person.

Zhao Xing could smell her delicate fragrance, which was very pleasant and refreshing.

"Pfft~"

The girl suddenly removed Zhao Xing's clothes, inserted one hand into Zhao Xing's lower abdomen, and then reached down to pull out something. "Hey, don't go too far," Zhao Xing snorted.

"You can talk." The girl pulled her hand away, smiling brightly. "I thought you'd become mute after cultivating the Ten Thousand Laws Straw Puppet."

"Flower Fairy, what brings you here?" Zhao Xing lowered his head, touched his wound, and used the elasticity of his chest muscle material to cover it.

"So you do know me." A hint of curiosity flashed in the Flower Fairy's eyes. "Could you tell me how you knew?"

"Of course I know you. Want to know? One question for another, how about it?" Zhao Xing asked. The Flower Fairy was one of the more normal ones among that group of lunatics, so it wasn't impossible to talk to her.

If it were anyone else, Zhao Xing would have already created a clone and run away.

"Okay." The Flower Fairy nodded.

"Let me answer your first question first," Zhao Xing said calmly. "The Central Zhou Dynasty at this time is far more powerful than you imagine. Through divination and historical records, we have discovered the traces you left behind."

"Really?" Flower Fairy stared at Zhao Xing suspiciously.

"Don't believe me? I even know what flowers you planted." Old Master Zhao pretended to be profound and started to show off. "One of them is the Netherworld Flower, which is picked from the Yin Realm. It can repair the defects of the Yin Soul, but it is also highly poisonous."

"You... you really know?" The Flower Fairy's eyes widened in surprise. She was also a Agricultural Official, and Pure Yuan Space had been born within her body.

That's why she's not afraid of being surrounded, because she also knows the top-tier spell [Divine Wood Leap].

"I really know, that's the second question."

"That doesn't count," the Flower Fairy, somewhat angrily. "You're taking advantage of me!"

Zhao Xing stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Flower Fairy, it's my turn to ask."

"Go ahead and ask."

"Was the change of the three mountains here your doing?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Yes." The Flower Fairy nodded, somewhat proudly saying, "It was supposed to have been born 140 years ago. Hehe, you definitely haven't seen it. The Profound Heaven Divine Sect lineage in Zhongzhou doesn't have such a method."

She had been tricked by Zhao Xing and wanted to get revenge, so she deliberately avoided mentioning the name of the sect.

The intention was to provoke Zhao Xing into asking a question, so that Zhao Xing would use up the second question.

"Just a top-tier Three Lights Mountain-Sealing Art." Zhao Xing stared at Flower Fairy's expression, speaking slowly. "Using the waters of the East Sea, supplemented by Magic Array to condense the Three Lights Divine Water True Intent, we seal the mountain with water to delay the occurrence of the celestial event—."

Judging from her expression, Zhao Xing knew he had guessed correctly.

He had seen methods to control climate change before in the Ten Thousand Transformations Grotto Heaven, and through a combination of guesswork and deduction, he easily confirmed his conjecture.

"So it wasn't that my divination back then was inaccurate. Although there was an error, it wasn't as outrageous as hundreds of years. It was suppressed by someone. If it was her, and she had intricate connections with the Profound Heaven Divine Sect, then this place being a stronghold of the Profound Heaven Sect would make sense."

"Was Blood Spirit Venerable merely an agent? Or did he do this incidentally?"

Before the Flower Fairy could even ask that question, Zhao Xing quickly inquired, "Has any unusual energy movement occurred in your small world? I mean, on a large scale."

The Flower Fairy's eyes widened in surprise. "How do you even know this? --- Indeed, the vital energy in our area has shown abnormal fluctuations, and the range is quite large."

Zhao Xing suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

Vitality Tide!

It has already begun to appear in some small worlds!

"The entire Xuanhuang Great Yellow World can be likened to a jellyfish that is constantly expanding and contracting, living in the cosmic ocean."

"A small world is an existence that exists outside its Boundary Wall."

"The small-scale Spiritual Energy Revival accompanying the Vitality Tide is from the outside in, so the first thing to come into contact with the Vitality Tide is the small world."

"The Nineteen Provinces occupied by the Great Zhou, known as the Central State, are located at the center of the Profound Yellow World in the Vitality Tide."

"In this way, all the tides will eventually converge in the depression of Zhongzhou. In the later stages of the Vitality Tide, the Great Zhou will be the biggest beneficiary. But in the early stages, the smaller worlds with weaker Boundary Wall will be the first to benefit."

Zhao Xing recalled his own Great Circuit Treatise and suddenly understood a lot of things, which also matched some of the plots from his previous life. As for why the Central Plains, which was occupied by the Great Zhou, was a "lowland" in terms of the level of primordial energy.

The reason is quite simple.

Each rise and fall of dynasties in ancient times took away much of the resources of the Central Plains!

In terms of the vital energy dimension, this makes it a "low-lying area" and the final convergence point of the tides.

"You're thinking—" The Flower Fairy was about to ask, but then covered her mouth.

She can't let this guy take advantage of her anymore.

Zhao Xing smiled gently, "Think it over before you ask, fairy."

The Flower Fairy's bright eyes darted around as she asked a rather puzzling question, "Why don't you come with me? You can swear an oath to join us. I can take you back and tell you a big secret, the kind you'll absolutely be interested in!"

"How about it?"

Zhao Xing shook his head with a smile, "Not very good, but you guys could join the Great Zhou."

"I can also tell you a big secret, and the Temple Master will be very interested."

"Alright, let's continue asking questions. It's my turn."

"I'm not playing anymore!" the Flower Fairy huffed, deciding not to talk to Zhao Xing anymore.

Zhao Xing knew them very well, but she knew nothing about this person.

If she keeps changing her answers, she'll suffer a great loss!

"I'm not talking to you anymore."

"Wait!" Zhao Xing called out to the Flower Fairy who was turning to leave. "Give my regards to the Palace Master. If he is interested in what I said, please send an avatar to find me."

"My name is Zhao Xing, the Divine Might Marquis of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I will leave an avatar on the shore of the East Sea, ready to serve you at any time."

"To show our sincerity, we'll let the fairy have this opportunity. You can make the most of it before you leave. I guarantee no one will interfere with your harvest."

Having said that, Zhao Xing's clones simultaneously used the Bold Ruler of the Horizon to retreat to the ends of the earth.

As the Flower Fairy watched the dissipating wisps of mist around her, a strange look appeared in her eyes. "What kind of magic is this? Cloud Method? It's so exquisite."

She paused, then muttered to herself, "What do you mean 'give it to me'? We were the ones who discovered it first—but how does he know so much? It seems I need to go back as soon as possible and tell the Palace Master."

After Zhao Xing left, he soon landed on Purple Cloud Island.

"I never expected to encounter the Heavenly Realm Immortal Clan in the East Sea," Zhao Xing recalled. "During the reign of Wu Emperor, there was a group of 'immortals' who claimed to be from the Heaven Realm, appearing with the Vitality Tide."

2

?

"They have intricate connections with the Sect Realm, yet they do not belong to the Sect Realm."

"The Immortal Clan has its own goals; it neither helps the Great Zhou Great Zhou nor its enemies."

"They act strangely, sometimes clashing with the Great Zhou, sometimes with the Great Zhou's enemies, and sometimes even making internal deals among themselves."

"Then it suddenly disappeared again at the end of Wu Emperor, and players at the time simply didn't have the ability to explore this storyline."

I have absolutely no idea what they're after.

"They've been called a bunch of neutral lunatics," Zhao Xing recalled the assessment of the Heavenly Realm Immortal Clan.

The so-called Heaven Realm is simply the name of a small world, and the Immortal Clan calls it that themselves.

"The power that rules the Heaven Realm is called the Qitian Hall. Its master, Qitian, is known as the 'Supreme Immortal,' and its deputy master is the Saint Immortal.'"

"Among them are those who possess the Fate Spell, known as the Fate Immortal."

"When I was cultivating the mountain, I named it Heaven Equaling Mountain and built a Qitian Hall on it. If I break through to the First-Rank Realm, Heaven Equaling Mountain will also rise in value."

"I chose this name on purpose. Once I break through, I can use cause and effect to lure out the Fate Immortal to meet me. There is also a Qitian Spirit Mountain in the Heaven Realm. As long as I surpass that mountain, it will definitely attract the curiosity of the Fate Immortal."

"Unexpectedly, instead of the Fate Immortal being born, we have the Flower Fairy who grows flowers in the East Sea."

Zhao Xing wanted to achieve ascension to the heavens, so naturally he needed to minimize his enemies and maximize his friends.

After all, it is difficult to ascend to immortality during the reign of Wu Emperor. All resources and all forces must be fought for!

Without a doubt, the Qitian Immortal Clan, which was rated as a neutral force by the players, was one of the targets that Zhao Xing was trying to win over.

Because the Heaven Realm was the first to experience the revival of Vitality Tide, all the immortals in the Qitian Hall are at least at the Fate Palace Realm.

If I could win over this force, it would definitely be beneficial to achieving my goal of ascension.

"It is now the seventy-seventh year of the Eternal Governance Era. The Eternal Governance Era lasted a total of ninety-eight years. In another twenty-one years, Emperor Jing will pass away, and the reign of Wu Emperor will begin."

"The Heavenly Realm Immortal Clan appeared on a large scale a hundred years after the Yuan Hunting Era period, and became known to the world."

"The East Sea, that place of change is not within the territory of the Great Zhou. It was used as a stronghold of the Profound Heaven Sect and was actually related to the people of the Qitian Hall," Zhao Xing pondered.

"The Qitian Hall recruits experts from all walks of life. The Flower Fairy is in Agricultural Official; judging from her tone, she originally came from the Profound Heaven Divine Sect?"

"However, we still need to be careful when dealing with this group of lunatics. I wonder if the Qitian Hall has woken up yet."

As far as he knew, there weren't many normal people in the Qitian Hall.

"This group has many secrets, and I don't know how that temple master attracted so many powerful people."

"To recruit powerful individuals, you need to have some resources. How can the Qitian Hall, a small world, support so many powerful individuals?"

That's quite a lot. What exactly is the great secret the Flower Fairy spoke of? Is it related to the Vitality Tide, or to ascension?

"If the Vitality Tide misled the Wu Emperor, could it also mislead the old fogies of the Sect Realm?"

After thinking for a while, Zhao Xing opened his eyes.

"The trigger has been set; we'll have a chance to make contact sooner or later."

After waiting on Purple Cloud Island for a month or so, Zhao Xing kept a close eye on the movements in the open sea.

The results showed that no unusual intelligence had been leaked from the imperial court. Clearly, the Millennial Climate Shift was under control and had not caused any disturbance.

Zhao Xing sent a straw figure to check. The three mountains were gone, and there were several fragments of the mountains lying on the seabed, tilted and broken.

Deep in the ocean, there is a large depression, which looks like a pit left after something was planted and then transplanted.

After exploring the area, Zhao Xing left.

Deep within the Western Extremity Glacier.

Iceland is nothing special.

"Phew~"

The figure of the Flower Fairy emerged from a tree in the Icelandic valley.

"Thump~"

She then jumped into a nearby hot spring that was emitting steam.

Sinking, sinking all the way down, it soon passed through a layer of ice tens of thousands of meters thick.

She crawled down a passage that resembled ice crystals.

It abruptly disappeared at the end, along with the ice crystal passage.

In the Heaven Realm, a pure white vortex was born from the sky. It quickly arched up, like a mouth, exhaling a chilling breath.

A seven-colored figure flew out from the cold air.

"Indigo brush~"

Two figures, one in blue and one in white, quickly soared into the sky.

"Hua Hua, you're back~"

"Shut up! Who are you to call me 'Flower Flower'?"

"Get out of here, you bug!"

"You're the one who should get lost, you idiot who only spews filth!"

"!"

The Flower Fairy glanced at the two locked in combat, clearly used to it, and then flew towards the distant mountains.

There are many peaks on the mountain, with palaces and pavilions standing tall. The Flower Fairy flew directly to a black and white square.

She floated into the palace, wearing a black and white Daoist robe, which was hanging on a huge Turtle Shell, slowly swaying with the surrounding space.

"Hey, Fate Immortal, wake up! Don't sleep!" The Flower Fairy blew out a fragrant breath.

"Hua, what's wrong?" A head popped out from under the black and white Daoist robe. He was thin and had dark circles under his eyes. He looked weak and listless, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

"I encountered something strange on my trip." The Flower Fairy then recounted her encounter with Zhao Xing during her journey to the East Sea.

Finally, she concluded, "It must be because of that bastard Rain Immortal's outing last time, or perhaps Lu Xian's philandering has revealed heavenly secrets!"

"Don't rush, allow me to perform a divination." The Fate Immortal said casually, extending his finger, whose nails suddenly grew long and incredibly sharp.

A sickeningly loud cracking sound immediately came from the Turtle Shell.

"Water over Heaven, hexagram 6: An uninvited guest arrives; treat him with respect and good fortune will follow."

"What do you mean?" the Flower Fairy asked.

"I don't know." Fate Immortal shook his head. "I can only be sure that this Zhao Xing doesn't mean any harm. As long as we don't provoke him, it will ultimately be a good thing."

"As for how he knew, and who leaked the information, I have no idea—strange, is that even possible?"

"What?" the Flower Fairy asked curiously.

"Strange, strange, sometimes yin, sometimes yang, and there are people who can be between life and death? Hmm? What's going on? Where did this Karma Thread come from? Am I seeing things?" The Fate Immortal muttered to himself, writing and drawing on it.

The Flower Fairy was even more confused by what he said.

After Zhao Xing landed, he left a clone in Chongming Prefecture and then stored the treasure materials in the Star Palace.

The main body then headed straight for the Daoyuan Continent to find Li Boqian. "Li Boqian doesn't have many years left to live, so I must quickly learn his ' Yuan Seal '."

The lifespan limits of people like Xuan Yuan Qingtian, Li Boqian, and Emperor Jing are almost common knowledge.

"Xuan Yuan Qingtian will pass away in the 90th year of Eternal Governance Era, Li Boqian will pass away in the 96th year of Eternal Governance Era, and Emperor Jing will pass away in the 98th year of Eternal Governance Era."

"Li Boqian has less than twenty years left to live," Zhao Xing calculated. "Once he transforms into Yin God Body, he will become very busy. The transfer of the Yin Realm power between him and Heavenly Yang True Lord will be extremely busy."

"Transforming into Yin God Body has made teaching less convenient."

Zhao Xing had not yet mastered the four basic secret techniques of Yuan Seal, including the Five New Divine Talismans and the Burning Heaven Locking Origin Formation.

"Strive to learn the four basic secret techniques within twenty years and perfect the top-level techniques of Favorable Timing and Location."

"At the same time, I will also begin to cultivate the ' Soldier Envoy Divine Art,' which involves the True Self Four Arts: Bend Node, Essence Condensation, Foundation Strengthening, and Element Analysis."

"Unifying the three factions is really not easy."

"Point!"

Zhao Xing separated two main soul clones, while his main body went to the Lingxu Spirit Ruins Blessed Land of the Kunyuan Academy to continue nurturing the mountain.

Two clones were formed, one heading to the Mystic Heaven Academy and the other to the Shangluo Academy.

"Your foundation in talismanic arts is too weak." Li Boqian looked at Zhao Xing drawing talismans and couldn't help but laugh, "It's like scribbles."

Zhao Xing's face darkened. "Why are you so happy that I'm a slow learner?"

"I've hired a talisman master for you. You can start by learning the basics from him," Li Boqian said. "You've met this person before."

"You Xuanfeng?"

"Yes, that's him."

"Is this appropriate?" Zhao Xing was taken aback. "I Fire Source Divine Cannon."

Li Boqian said, "What's inappropriate about it? He has no grudge against Liu Tianning, let alone you. He only came to stop you because he wanted Taiping Granary."

"I still have some things to take care of. The competition among the three factions has reached a critical stage. I need to go and call Wang Tianzhi out of the special training location."

"Okay, if you say it's okay, then it's fine. I have no problem with it."

There's nothing wrong with Zhao Xing; he can learn from whomever he wants.

He found it difficult to learn Li Boqian's "Five New Divine Talismans" directly, because Li Boqian combined the Dao of Talismans and the Agricultural Official with his own understanding of the Dao.

It's really difficult for beginners.

"As for the principles of formations, you know the people yourself, so I won't call out their names."

Zhao Xing nodded. He could find any Mechanism Master; with the Fu Ming Furnace on display, he had more than enough connections to use.

Not to mention trivial matters like teaching basics.

"You don't need to learn too deeply. Reaching the advanced level is enough. At the top level, you just need to know how to assemble the mechanisms and how to use the talismans."

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded.

Whether it's the Five New Divine Talismans or the Burning Heaven Locking Origin Grand Formation, both are based on Agricultural Official principles of Agricultural Official and are fundamental to unleashing their power.

On June 15th of the 77th year of Eternal Governance Era, You Xuanfeng of the Divine Talisman Dao Academy arrived at Mystic Heaven Academy.

"Zhao Xing".

"Dean You," Zhao Xing said, bowing respectfully.

He looked around the room, which was covered with various talismans.

There was a row of boxes at You Xuanfeng's feet, which were obviously materials prepared for teaching.

"The Grand Minister of Agriculture said he wants you to learn the intermediate and advanced stages of talismanic arts. You already have a foundation in the lower stages, so I will start teaching you from the intermediate stage." You Xuanfeng didn't waste any words and began the lesson directly:

"The intermediate stage of Talisman Master mainly involves comprehending the ' Lesser Five Elements Talisman,' which represents the Five Elements Wind-Thunder. This is the essence of the Dao, and it is the same for every profession. It's just that we communicate with the heavens and earth through brushstrokes and painting."

"The most classic talismanic techniques are ' Wind, Fire, Mountain, Forest ', ' Nine-Character True Talisman ', and ' Thirty-Six Origin Talisman ', etc., which are called arts."

"The advanced stage is the ' Great Five Elements Divine Talisman,' which also involves comprehending the Way of the Five Elements Wind-Thunder."

"At the advanced stage, the most classic talisman techniques include the ' Myriad Talisman Formation Canon ' Taiyi Sixty-Four Talismans ', and the ' Six Ding Divine Talisman '."

"Your understanding of the Dao is already sufficient."

"The so-called 'drawing inferences from one instance to another' simply means you're not used to using talismans to express your own Dao."

"This requires a lot of training to build up."

2

"The so-called 'understanding the Tao through technique' will be taught in a way that you are more accustomed to. Please observe carefully."

Two talismans suddenly popped out from You Xuanfeng's sleeves and appeared in his left and right palms.

One of the talismans had cloud patterns on it, with yellow characters on a white background, while the other had black characters on a blue background.

"Go!"

You Xuanfeng waved his hands, and the blue talisman turned into a drizzle, while the white talisman turned into a cloud.

"One is the Cloud Character Talisman, and the other is the Rain Character Talisman."

"The Cloudcalling and the Rainmaking are the foundation of Agricultural Official, but in essence, clouds and rain both belong to the water element in the Five Elements."

Zhao Xing examined them carefully and found that the magical fluctuations generated by the Rain Character Talisman and Cloud Character Talisman were not high-level, probably only at the intermediate Ninth Order level.

For him, it was something he could learn at a glance.

It's actually not difficult to learn.

Zhao Xing was simply not used to this method.

Because he is naturally capable of Moving Clouds Spreading Rain, there is no essential difference between releasing it through talismans and releasing it personally.

It's like he could fly, but he didn't, and instead had to write a talisman on his body and stick it on before he could fly.

It's awkward.

"You're not slow, it's purely a matter of habit," You Xuanfeng commented incisively. "Since it's a habit..."

It can be changed.

"Understood." Zhao Xing nodded, and he began to force his brain to adapt to the spellcasting mode of "Talisman Dao".

You Xuanfeng built a tall house, and Zhao Xing himself had a high level of understanding of the Dao. Once he got used to it, his learning speed would increase.

In less than half a year, he mastered the intermediate level of talismanic arts and techniques and integrated them into his knowledge.

Half a year later, he had fully comprehended the advanced talisman technique, "The Great Five Elements Divine Talisman," and began to study various talisman arts.

This is a time-consuming process.

There are just too many talismans!

"Even a single talisman is divided into five elements, and each element is further classified into large talismans, small talismans, time talismans, and direction talismans."

"Each category contains countless techniques."

"After learning it, there are countless variations in the arrangement and combination of talisman arrays."

Zhao Xing was suffering greatly from the training. It was torture to make a genius like him do such a tedious and repetitive job.

He has the power to destroy top-tier talismans with his own magic, yet he wants to learn this trivial method.

"How did the Way of Talismans come about? It comes from those people who have weak magical talent and are not very good at it, so they use special materials to comprehend the world and cast spells."

"I know how to do it myself, why do you insist on learning that stupid method? Where can I complain?"

Zhao Xing was furiously criticizing the Divine Luo King.

The foundation of the mechanical Magic Array was taught by the Divine Luo King.

At this time, Zhao Xing had already sent an additional clone to the Divine Luo Academy to learn about mechanical Magic Array from the Divine Luo King.

"That's not entirely true. Master Fu Dao is quite formidable," Divine Luo King laughed. "Someone with great perseverance like You Xuanfeng can wield the Divine Talisman Formation quite well."

"Of course, the way of talismans is far inferior to the way of mechanisms."

Divine Luo King may have said something Justice, but in reality, he was still playing a double game.

A person with great perseverance? Isn't that just a lack of natural talent?

However, there's nothing that can be done about it; Talisman Master are basically at the bottom of the social hierarchy.

Generally, only those with mediocre magical abilities and martial arts talent, who have no other choice, will learn the art of talismans.

For Old Master Zhao, it was merely a side job.

However, there was no other way; Li Boqian insisted that he learn all the intermediate and advanced variations.

"Learning mechanical Magic Array isn't easy either," Zhao Xing remarked. "They're incredibly profound."

Divine Luo King loved to hear that. He grinned and said, "It's alright. You only need to learn the advanced level. As long as you can assemble and use the top-level mechanisms and Magic Array, that's enough."

"Have you rested enough? If you've rested enough, shall we continue learning the ' Heavenly Dipper Formation ' and the ' Earthly Sha Formation '?"

The Divine Luo King was all smiles, which would probably shock the other Mechanism Master. They would think, "You're supposed to be a Grandmaster, why are you being so obsequious?"

You're not teaching, you're practically begging people to learn!

"Come on." Zhao Xing touched his hair, looking somewhat melancholy.

The arts of talismans and formations were giving Old Master Zhao a real headache.

Fortunately, one can relax by learning the methods of Agricultural Official.

"The Profound Heaven Thunder Law is the Ultimate Law, with its top-level components divided into Nether Thunder Law and Yang Thunder Law."

"Yang Thunder Law, also known as the Mystic Heaven Suppression Prison Chapter, has three forms: Heavenly Thunder Finger, Thunder Primordial Lock, Prison Suppressing Thunder Pool, which correspond to the beginner, minor, and major levels of mastery, respectively."

"The Nether Thunder Law is the ' Profound Heaven Cold Shattering Thunder '."

"From the first to the Nine Turns, there are three secret techniques: ' Three Yin Thunder Seal,' ' Cold Shattering Thunder Domain,' and ' Five Elements Yin Thunder World.'"

"Each secret technique is most powerful when combined with the Great Cold Solar Terms Decree, corresponding to the beginner, minor, and advanced stages."

Zhao Xing was looking at a mural.

"Wang Tianzhi once trained me. He also knows a Yang Thunder Law called ' Heaven Burning Thunder,' but I don't need to switch. I can use these two thunder techniques as a springboard to comprehend the ultimate one," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

He started practicing the Yang Thunder Law early and the Nether Thunder Law late, but both have already reached the Nine Turns level.

The killing moves of the Thunder Technique are Yang Thunder [Prison Suppressing Thunder Pool] and Yin Thunder [Five Elements Yin Thunder World].

"The ultimate Cloud Method is called the ' Yun Tian Dao,' with the top level being the ' Cloud Gate.' The Cloud Gate's outward appearance is relatively simple. From the first to the Nine Turns, the number of gates continuously increases. Upon reaching the Nine Turns, eighty-one Cloud Gate will appear."

"Although the outward appearance is simple, the effects are numerous, and it is mainly for auxiliary purposes."

"One is ' Cloud Concealment,' which means to hide one's whereabouts."

"The second is ' Cloud Siphoning,' which is similar to the original Yuan-Draining Underground Palace, except that it is designed for aerial combat."

"The third is ' Layered Cloud Realm,' a trapping spell that ensnares enemies in an endless cloud maze."

"In addition, the eighty-one Cloud Gate can also amplify Rain Art and lightning spells."

"The ultimate form of the Rain Art I practice is ' Heavenly Eclipse '."

"There are eighteen doors within the Cloud Gate, specifically designed to amplify the Yin and Yang versions of the Rain Art Rain Art ' Heavenly Eclipse,' reaching its highest level."

Each possesses a deadly move, "Heavenly Eclipse" or "Heavenly Collapse."

"The other eighteen doors are specifically designed to amplify both Yin and Yang thunder magic."

"Ultimate Wind Art, I haven't even started cultivating it yet."

Zhao Xing was reviewing what he had learned.

Of the wind, rain, clouds, and Wind Art, the demand for wind magic decreased sharply after he obtained "Ruler of the Horizon" and Transformation of Seasons Art.

For long-distance speed, "Kunpeng Transformation" is sufficient.

For close-range movement and dodging, "Ruler of the Horizon" is more than enough to meet the needs.

Therefore, Zhao Xing had no need for the Wind Art at all.

"It's not that I don't want to go." Zhao Xing's true form looked at a mailbox inside the hall.

There were piles of books there, a large part of which were written by Feng Boping, the headmaster of Wind Travel Institute, over the past century.

Aside from the routine pleasantries, he asked Zhao Xing when he would go to the Wind Travel Institute to learn some Wind Art.

Unfortunately, Old Master Zhao didn't have much need for Wind Art, so he only symbolically learned a top-tier Wind Art called "Xun Wind Mayhem".

It has only progressed to the Fourth-Turn.

This is all thanks to Transformation of Seasons Art, because Dapeng's talent is controlling the Xun wind.

"Among the Four Seasonal Arts, except for the Wind Art, I have basically reached the Nine Turns, but it is not yet perfect."

"The Ultimate Law has reached its peak, combined with my Ten Thousand Laws Dao Body and the Third Realm the ' Solar Terms Decree ',"

Then the realm of Heavenly Timing rules can be created.

"The same applies to the Earthly Advantage Method. The Vast Sea Earth Palace and the Mystic Water Earth Palace are both top-level Nine Turns- stage. Once they reach perfection, they can give birth to the domain of Earthly Advantage Institute rules."

"The Earth Spirit Divine Treasury Art is derived from the Ultimate Law ' Profound Yellow Earth Splitting,' the top-level Nine Turns."

"The Kunyuan Art in the Earth Treasury Art, which masters ' Mountains and Rivers Forever Solid ' and ' Kunyuan Recreation,' is also a top-level Nine Turns."

"The ' Heaven-Supporting Art ' within the Spiritual Mountain Law is only at the top level, already at the Nine Turns of the top rank. Besides its auxiliary function of nurturing Spirit Mountain and the destiny of heaven, the Mountain Art are related to combat, specifically the forging of powerful heavy weapons called ' Ten Thousand Layer Mountain '."

"There is no Ultimate Law in the Mystic Earth Art. The Profound Connection I cultivate is a pure escape method, the top-level Nine Turns technique. If it is perfected, it is equivalent to a humanoid Earth Piercing Divine Boat, with no way forward."

Zhao Xing possesses top-tier techniques from both the Favorable Timing and Location schools, all of which are at the top-level Nine Turns stage.

Of the four methods of the True Self Faction, Zhao Xing has not yet begun to learn the top-level method.

The main reason is that for over a hundred years, the original owner was cultivating the mountain.

The highest level of the True Self Method must be practiced by the true self; otherwise, it wouldn't be called the True Self Method.

"Over the past hundred years, it has been the ' Great Dream Spring and Autumn ' that has made Divine Speed progress. It has already progressed from the Dream Walking Chapter to the final ' Spring and Autumn Chapter,' and is only one step away from giving birth to the Dream Realm."

After more than a century of cultivating the mountains, Zhao Xing has reaped tremendous rewards in his spiritual practice.

He never fought with anyone after that. Even during the Bride Snatching, he only stood by and cheered from the sidelines, never getting a chance to make a move.

They simply blasted You Xuanfeng and Yao Wuji with their ship, and then let the people of Blazing Light Royal Court have a "daydream" and produce some evidence.

"If we want to create a domain of rules and make the top-level laws completely perfect, simply working behind closed doors won't work," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"I will go to the Shangluo Academy to study the ' Soldier Envoy Divine Art ' and strive to manifest a portion of the Dragon Spirit Bamboo and the Li Fire Divine Lotus as soon as possible. This is my strongest fighting force."

"I will send a clone to the dojo to spar with others and strive to master the rules of Heavenly Timing and Earthly Advantage Institute."

"Strive to surpass Old Liu as soon as possible, ask him to abdicate, then unify the three factions, lead the Wu Emperor to manually Spiritual Energy Revival, and finally ascend to immortality!"

After making up their minds, the Mystic Heaven Academy's clone remained still, while the Kunyuan Academy's main body swapped places with the Shangluo Academy's clone.

The clone cannot nurture the mountain, but nurturing the mountain won't make a difference of one or two decades, so let's focus on learning the Earthly Advantage Method first.

In the seventy-ninth year of the Eternal Governance Era, the original body and the clone were switched.

After arriving at the Shangluo Academy, Zhao Xing found Liu Tianning and explained his purpose.

"Teacher, I want to learn ' The Soldier Envoy Divine Art '."

Liu Tianning was taken aback. "The Soldier Envoy Divine Art? This is a technique specifically for controlling Plant Soldier of the Ninth Order and above. Your Ninth Order troops haven't even taken shape yet. Even if you transplant them, it will be time-consuming and laborious. Isn't this a bit too hasty?"

"Shall we start with the ' Heaven and Earth Planting Soldiers Scripture '?"

Zhao Xing shook his head. "I want to learn the Soldier Envoy Divine Art. Teacher, you can choose a set of Ninth Order troops for me to transplant. The quality doesn't need to be too high; it's just for practice."

Seeing Liu Tianning hesitate, Zhao Xing revealed some information. "Teacher, just give the order, and I can guarantee a 100% success rate for the transplant, with absolutely no waste."

Liu Tianning looked at Zhao Xing: "What level is your soil at?"

Level 9.

"How much?" Liu Tianning was stunned. He knew that Zhao Xing had made great progress, but this was the first time he had heard a student reveal his true abilities.

"You've already reached level nine soil?"

"Not bad." Zhao Xing nodded.

Liu Tianning's eyes lit up immediately.

"Come on, let's touch!"

He raised an eyebrow, and a shadow in front of him turned toward Zhao Xing Xingxi.

The level and characteristics of Pure Origin Soil determine the power of Pure Yuan Projection.

Fearing that he might injure his disciple, Liu Tianning deliberately performed the technique very slowly, the Pure Yuan Projection crawling like a tortoise, gradually eroding him.

Zhao Xing smiled slightly, and the shadowy mat in front of him turned away.

A boundary, seemingly dividing the Chu and Han states, appeared before them.

The shadow in front of Liu Tianning contained four miniature trees, as well as the silhouettes of high ground and rivers.

Although it was just a phantom, it was enough to show that he had also cultivated special characteristics.

The shadow in front of Zhao Xing contained very little; only the Four-Pillar Metalstone and stone and the earth Earth Vein were relatively solid. Other elements, such as the Wilderness Vitality, the Surging Fire, and the Spiritual Qi Spring, were not displayed.

The two divine trees were unable to manifest any illusory forms.

Two shadows, locked in a struggle.

However, Liu Tianning's shadow was still being forced to retreat step by step by Zhao Xing.

Liu Tianning was genuinely surprised.

"Um?"

In terms of Pure Yuan Projection alone, he was actually somewhat outmatched by Zhao Xing!

No matter how he resisted, the Pure Yuan Projection was pushed along by Zhao Xing until it was completely suppressed to the toes.

If the people of the Shangluo Academy were to see this scene, they would be utterly astonished!

How could Zhao Xing, Second Rank official, possibly outmaneuver Liu Tianning, a first-rank official, in the Pure Yuan Projection category?!

No one would believe it if I told them!

However, once he touched her body, Zhao Xing couldn't push her away.

Because Old Liu cultivated a domain of rules, he was able to control the surrounding space with it, allowing his Pure Yuan Projection to unfold smoothly.

But that would be cheating. If Liu Tianning uses the rules domain, it wouldn't be a pure Pure Yuan Projection competition.

"That's enough." Liu Tianning put away the Pure Yuan Projection, his eyes shining with immense satisfaction. "In terms of Pure Origin Soil alone, your level nine soil is even stronger than mine."

"I have gained a great deal from my two trips to the Dragon Court," Zhao Xing explained.

"Very good, you have the foundation to Soldier Envoy Divine Art," Liu Tianning praised, "It's far superior to my foundation back then."

When Liu Tianning came to the Shangluo Academy to establish the position of the first successor, he had only just entered the Second Rank realm, and his Pure Origin Soil was only at the seventh level.

In order to improve as quickly as possible, he did not choose "The Soldier Envoy Divine Art" but instead chose "The Heaven and Earth Planting Soldiers Scripture".

"I will immediately issue orders to the Twin Birth Institute, the Divine Wood Institute, and the Soldier Envoy Institute to prepare a batch of Ninth Order troops for you," Liu Tianning said.

"Thank you, teacher." Zhao Xing cupped his hands in thanks.

"No need to thank me," Liu Tianning chuckled. "The current crop of powerful Agricultural Official are all too weak."

"No one can make me use my full strength."

"I have now completed seven rounds at the dojo, and I will soon be facing my eighth round."

"Even Wang Tianzhi, Ling Tianchen, and Qiu Yuanshan of the Kunyuan Academy, who haven't made a move yet, I don't take them seriously."

"They cannot defeat me."

"Starting from the Fifth Grade, I have never lost to anyone of my generation. Even those who are one rank higher have rarely lost to me; at worst, it's a draw."

"The teacher has been invincible among the combat-type Agricultural Official for far too long—"

"Only you." Liu Tianning stared at Zhao Xing, his eyes filled with expectation. "You have a chance to defeat me."

"Teacher, I will try my best!" Zhao Xing's eyes also lit up. Of course, he understood Liu Tianning's feelings.

Being invincible is so lonely!

"You'd better keep up the good work," Liu Tianning encouraged. "Don't keep me waiting too long."

"I promise I won't keep you waiting too long."

Zhao Xing cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

Shangluo Academy, Soldier Envoy Institute, and Soldiers' Garden.

"Boom!"

A large tree swayed and disappeared from the ground.

The next moment, a large crater appeared in the ground.

Zhao Xing closed his eyes, then showed it again after a moment.

An elderly man named "Lin Yuan," who was in charge of managing the Ninth Order Plant Soldier, stroked his beard and nodded.

"Dean Zhao truly lives up to his reputation as a chosen one of heaven, managing to subdue Ninth Order ' Heavenly Net Tree ' with ease."

"You flatter me." Zhao Xing cupped his hands in greeting. He was now the vice dean of Divine Wood Institute, but Lin Yuan had a long history. As a veteran first-rank official, he had lived for nearly seven hundred years.

Those who can control the types of plants used by soldiers must be quite powerful in combat.

"Ten out of ten times they survive. I haven't seen such a success rate in a long time, Second-Rank Heavenly Fate Fortune Realm cultivator," Lin Yuan said with a smile. "How fortunate I am to have witnessed two peerless geniuses emerge from the Shangluo Academy in my lifetime!"

The way he looked at Zhao Xing was as if he were looking at a precious treasure.

Zhao Xing was used to it; it was the "Innate Divine Farmer Saint Body."

"I am ready. Please take me to the place of inheritance, Senior Lin."

"Okay, come with me." Lin Yuan nodded and led Zhao Xing to perform the [Divine Wood Leap].

"Whoosh~"

Zhao Xing and Lin Yuan appeared at the Bing Shi Lin, the site of the Soldier Envoy Institute's legacy.

"Ancient traditions are all carved on the basis of ice and rock."

"It was born in the Western Extremity Glacier and was compressed by the thick glacier for countless years before it finally took shape."

"The oldest ice rocks date back 700 million years."

Zhao Xing nodded. The Dragon Emperor Codex he possessed was made of ice rock compressed to the extreme.

Ice rock is unsuitable as a weapon because it can only resist decay; its hardness and flexibility are not up to the level of a precious gem.

Its resistance to decay is unmatched by any precious material, and it can be found anywhere beneath ancient glaciers.

Of course, the mining is also quite difficult. Apart from top-tier experts, very few people have the ability to mine glacial sulfur rock under those ancient glaciers.

"The Soldier Envoy Divine Art is recorded on a huge rock in the very center of the Ice Rock Forest."

"Its origin is untraceable; all that is known is that it was discovered by Chu Daozi, one of the founders of the Shangluo Academy."

"Chu Daozi?" Zhao Xing recalled the situation in the universe version but found he didn't remember it. It seemed he probably didn't ascend.

"The Divine Soldier Envoy Divine Art is best studied in conjunction with the ' All Things Growth Chart '. One must have a deep understanding of the four types of spells: Foundation Strengthening, Element Analysis, Essence Condensation, and Bend Node. Only by mastering the top-level spells in these four types can one possibly master the first level of the Soldier Envoy Divine Art."

"Once you master the first level, you can command Ninth Order troops. Once you master the first level, you can fully unleash the power of Ninth Order troops."

"The second tier corresponds to the rare-grade unit."

"The third level corresponds to unparalleled treasures."

"However, no one has ever mastered the third level. Going back ten thousand years, the way our dynasty passed down its rare treasures was through the ' Heaven and Earth Planting Soldiers Scripture '."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior." Zhao Xing nodded.

"You can stay here as long as you like," Lin Yuan said with a smile. "If you need anything, just call me anytime."

"Thank you, senior."

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Xing's true form is still in the Ice Rock Forest comprehending the four supreme methods of his True Self, and has not yet begun practicing the "Soldier Envoy Divine Art".

"The ultimate technique of the True Self Faction is much more difficult than that of the other two schools."

"It is now the 80th year of Eternal Governance Era, and Old Liu is about to fight his eighth round. The [Dojo] is full of experts."

"I only need to occupy half of my mind here."

"I also sent a clone to the dojo to cut it down."

"Having not seen real combat for over a hundred years, I feel like I'm rusting away—a holy son without combat experience is ultimately somewhat hollow. If I want to unify the three factions, it's time to make a name for myself."

Zhao Xing immediately created ten clones, left the Ice Rock Forest, and went to find Liu Tianning.

"Teacher, I also want to try going to the dojo."

Upon hearing this, Liu Tianning couldn't help but laugh, "If I beat up a first-rank person once, and you beat up Second Rank once, isn't that a bit too much of a bully?"

"I might not necessarily choose the Agricultural Official," Zhao Xing said with a smile. "Other professions are also my goals."

"The competition for certain important positions in other professions has also reached its final stage, and it's good for many experts to come out and learn from them."

"Take it easy," Liu Tianning laughed. "But other families selected Junior Director of Works and General of the Golden Guard, and you beat them to a pulp."

"How could that be?" Zhao Xing said. "I am just a clone; I dare not underestimate the heroes of the world."

"But you should be careful, teacher. I heard that Dean Wang Tianzhi, Dean Ling Tianchen, and Dean Qiu Yuanshan will all be coming out of seclusion to meet you in this round of Dao Debate Tournament."

"Them?" Liu Tianning simply smiled, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

In the 80th year of the Eternal Governance Era, after the Spring She Day, the Daoyuan Continent Temple suddenly became lively.

Countless powerful figures from the Dao Academy, military commanders from various regions, nobles, and many princes came to the Daoyuan Continent to watch the battle.

Upon arriving at the location, a familiar voice rang out from Zhao Xing's Earth Mirror: "Brother, I heard you've come too."

But does that mean we have to join the war?

The message was sent by Ji Che.

"Now that we're here, we'll definitely have to find someone to play a few matches with," Zhao Xing replied quickly.

"Once you arrive, please come to the Debate Dao Field at number thirty-nine on the Earthly Branch," Ji Che said.

"I haven't disembarked yet, what's the matter?"

"Brother, do you know of a vassal state in the West Sea called ' Morse Country '?"

"Know."

"Their prince, Para Jinko, came to pay homage a few days ago. He was very stubborn and arrogant. I didn't like him, but I didn't want to beat him up."

"Now he's come with my sister and me to the Daoyuan Continent to watch the battle. Elder brother, come quickly and teach him a lesson!"
