"The founding of the Yu Dynasty occurred five hundred years after we entered this world."

"Back then, my two friends, ' Pu Ta ' and ' Su Xianzi,' and I believed we had mastered the rules of ascension in this world." "Although we had all fallen to the Ascension Realm, we considered ourselves invincible in this world."

Hearing this, Zhao Xing couldn't help but show a hint of sympathy. Tragic, utterly tragic!

Invincible? How could you possibly be invincible? Are the guardians of the Southern Barbarian Holy Mountain and the Ruins of Return to Nothingness joking with you? In the Profound Yellow World, even dragons have to coil up!

What's more, Qing Yuzi went on to establish a dynasty, which was even more fatal!

"The lack of spiritual energy is not a problem. I cultivate the Shennong Dao. It is still possible for me to create a rain of spiritual energy in this world and establish a brief window of opportunity for ascension."

Zhao Xing listened quietly; he had long since realized that Qing Yuzi was Agricultural Official official.

Because of her exceptional foresight, Qing Yuzi made the same choice as herself: manually Spiritual Energy Revival, forcibly making the world's fundamental rules suitable for ascension.

Zhao Xing was very interested in this, because what Qing Yuzi had done was exactly what he wanted to do. He wanted to hear how Qing Yuzi had failed and learn from his experience.

Of course, his situation was different from Qing Yuzi's.

For Qing Yuzi to accomplish this feat, the difficulty is hellish!

At that time, the Xia Dynasty had just ascended to heaven, taking away most of the spiritual energy. The Profound Yellow World had irreversibly entered a period of decline, and even the primordial energy was becoming scarce, let alone spiritual energy.

"We quickly ended the chaos in Middle-earth and established a Dynasty of Fate." "Only then did I realize that this damned world has three unbreakable rules."

"First, there is the Ruins of Return, a place that is constantly absorbing spiritual energy. It inexplicably devoured the last remaining spiritual energy after the Xia Dynasty ascended to immortality."

"Secondly, there's the Major Divine Ability of the Southern Barbarian Lands! Heavens, I never imagined that such a place would possess a Sever Heaven and Earth! After my army crossed a place called Yin You Mountain, almost all of them turned into mortals!"

"I'm not good at commanding troops in battle, so I handed over command to Pu Ta." "But we lost."

Qing Yuzi smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you, fellow Daoist. I, Qing Yuzi, am the master of a dignified Realm Star and have a certain status in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom. Yet I have actually stumbled in a small Profound Yellow World."

"My friend ' Pu Ta ' is an elite disciple of a powerful force in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, and he walks the path of divine craftsmanship." "Su Xianzi, on the other hand, walks the path of the soul. The three of us actually couldn't handle the natives of the Southern Barbarians."

Zhao Xing listened with deep emotion. Qing Yuzi, Su Xianzi, and Pu Ta were all Source Origin Realm capable of adventuring in the universe, yet they had been utterly ruined in the Profound Yellow World. " In the Southern Barbarian Lands, although 99% of the people have also become mortals, there are still a few dozen who can utilize spiritual energy!"

"Spiritual energy!" Qing Yuzi seemed quite agitated when she spoke of it. "We've all become mortals, yet some of them can still use spiritual energy? It's an insurmountable gap!" "Our Mechanical Beast turn into piles of junk when they enter there, and our martial arts masters fall ill..."

"After fighting for a full five hundred years, we discovered that the Southern Barbarian Lands were simply unbreakable under those circumstances!" "And at this time, a second unbreakable rule appeared," Qing Yuzi sighed.

Zhao Xing also sighed.

He guessed it; Qing Yuzi had encountered the second unbreakable rule of the Profound Yellow World: the emperors of Dynasty of Fate could not live past a thousand years. "The emperors of Dynasty of Fate in this world cannot even live past a thousand years."

"Although I founded the Yu Dynasty, the emperor was my good friend ' Pu Ta '."

"Although Pu Ta was seriously injured, he could still live for tens of thousands of years before becoming emperor. However, after becoming emperor, Pu Ta actually lived for five hundred years before his death."

"Fellow Daoist! If you too have come to the Profound Yellow World for some reason and are facing the dilemma of ascension, never become the emperor of this world!" "Never!"

Seeing Qing Yuzi's solemn warning, Zhao Xing was both amused and exasperated. "Brother, you've really stepped into every pitfall of the Profound Yellow World!" he thought. "But that's how adventures in the universe are."

What may seem like an ordinary place could become the final resting place of a powerful adventurer.

"The third unbreakable rule is 'information blocking,' meaning no message can be transmitted."

Qing Yuzi sighed, "After Pu Ta died, Su Xianzi and I realized that this method wouldn't work, so we sent a message to the outer heavens. The power I belong to in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom is called the Purple God Mansion, which has a deep foundation in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom."

"If they find out I'm trapped, my fellow disciples and friends will definitely come to my rescue."

"Once I surpass the Source Origin Realm, coming to the Profound Yellow World to save me will be a piece of cake."

"This world is too dangerous. We even vaguely sensed some danger, so we went to the Western Extremity Continent to live in seclusion and erased all traces of the three of us."

"On the Western Extremity Continent, we created a small world to sustain our lives while constantly sending messages to outer space." "But..."

"We haven't received any response to the messages we sent out."

"Two hundred thousand years have passed, and Su Xianzi is dead. I've basically given up hope."

"Because I can only live for another fifty thousand years at most, and that's only because I cultivate the Shennong Dao, which gives me abundant vitality, and I've consumed many longevity-promoting treasures." "Until fifty thousand years have passed, I'll be nearing death..."

"At that time, I also realized that the information could not be transmitted, which is the third unbreakable fundamental rule of the Profound Yellow World." Listening to Qing Yuzi's story, Zhao Xing didn't know what to say.

It can only be said that this calamity was destined to befall the three of them!

If I had come a few hundred years earlier, I would have encountered the Ascendant Dynasty, the Xia Dynasty!

At that time, not only could one quickly heal one's injuries, but one could also fly away with the Xia Dynasty. One could even be worshipped as the leader of the Xia Dynasty.

Unfortunately, they happened to encounter the Profound Yellow World after the Xia Dynasty's ascension.

The spiritual energy is depleted, and even the primordial energy is quite thin, making it impossible to ascend to immortality.

Because the Profound Yellow World has entered a period of self-recovery and accumulation, the rules of heaven and earth that prevent ascension will become stronger during this time.

At this point, the only option was to follow the rules of this world, find a way to enter a state of [hibernation], and wait for the ascension window— the Spiritual Energy Revival. "Unfortunately, Qing Yuzi and the other two did not do this; instead, they chose to defy the heavens."

"But that's normal. They must have mastered hibernation technology, but hibernation doesn't eliminate the need to wait for life. Who knew it would take so long? They were on a mission and were ambushed by their enemies, so they hid here. How could they just sleep here?"

"It's truly a matter of timing and fate. Even someone as powerful as the Source Origin Realm could have survived if they made one wrong step, but they kept making mistakes and ended up trapped here." Zhao Xing sighed.

Qing Yuzi and his two companions even established a dynasty here, becoming kings and rulers. In their eyes, the Profound Yellow World was truly an ordinary place. Yet, this very place gradually trapped and killed three elites from the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom.

"Having absorbed the essence of three Source Origin Realm experts, the Profound Yellow World will probably recover even faster?"

"Wait, did Qing Yuzi sense other threats as well? Could it be that people like them aren't isolated cases?" Many thoughts flashed through Zhao Xing's mind.

"It seems there are still many unexplored areas in this newbie village. Well, once players ascend, they leave. Who would come back here to uncover any secrets? At most, they might use fate-related spells to look at their existing faction experiences and decipher them."

Qing Yuzi recounted many things to Zhao Xing, his "fellow villager." After explaining the whole story, he revealed his purpose.

"Since this fellow Daoist belongs to the Valley God Star faction, if he is in the same predicament as me, we can be considered to be in the same boat." "These words were just some advice given to you by a certain unlucky fellow from an allied faction," Qing Yuzi said with a self-deprecating laugh. "I hope they are of some help to you."

Zhao Xing blinked. Help? He already knew all this, why would he need to tell him? Is there any other benefit?

Qing Yuzi cupped his hands and said, "If your strength surpasses mine, please, senior, for the sake of our alliance, take my relics back to the Purple God Mansion of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom. You certainly won't be interested in the little things I left behind."

"But my teacher, the ' Purple Moon Mansion Lord,' will definitely reward you, senior." "My belongings are on the staff next to the body."

Zhao Xing glanced at it and noticed a bag hanging from the staff that Qing Yuzi had been leaning on in front of the table after he finished speaking. "Universe Storage Bag."

However, he did not rush to take action.

Because he didn't see it when he came in.

Clearly, Qing Yuzi had set a rule here: one must listen to his words before one can see these things.

After waiting a moment, Qing Yuzi continued, "If your strength has already fallen below the Ascension Realm, it proves that your injuries are more severe than mine. I have also left a gift for you, fellow Daoist, to help you recover."

"What I leave behind can help you rebuild your cultivation to the peak of the Ascension Realm, and will give you enough time to wait for the next Spiritual Energy Revival."

"When the time comes, please take my belongings back with you. As I said before, as long as you go to the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom and find the ' Purple Moon Mansion Lord ' of the Purple God Mansion, you will receive a generous reward."

Zhao Xing Qing Yuzi at the table and noticed another Universe Storage Bag. "This one is much smaller."

Old Master Zhao figured it out at a glance.

He remained motionless, waiting to see if Qing Yuzi had any Last Words.

"Pu Ta, Su Xianzi, and I all have our legacy left behind in this ruin."

"If you find anyone who has inherited our three traditions when you arrive, please take them with you." "On Qing Yuzi thanks you."

After saying this, Qing Yuzi's Establish Dao Dharma Body bowed deeply and then disappeared. "What a terrible sin, alas."

Zhao Xing sighed, then walked forward.

He easily obtained the Universe Storage Bag on the table.

He then approached Qing Yuzi's body to grab the higher-grade Qiankun bag, only to find it empty. "Rule protection," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

In other words, Qing Yuzi implicitly agreed that if a "senior" entered, whose cultivation level surpassed his, they would naturally be able to take the "relic." If they didn't have that strength, then it wasn't meant for him.

"It seems I'll have to reach the Establish Dao Realm to collect this bag," Zhao Xing thought to himself. Qing Yuzi had clearly foreseen many possibilities during his lifetime.

But the ultimate goal was the same: to bring his belongings back and deliver them to the Purple God Mansion of the ' Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom ' within the Desolate Territory Ancient Kingdoms Alliance, to the Purple Moon Mansion Lord. "Palace Master, that sounds like a high-ranking position. It seems Qing Yuzi is truly an elite. However, I've never heard of this place."

"I wonder where in the Desolate Territory Ancient Kingdoms Alliance this is," Zhao Xing thought to himself. The Desolate Territory Ancient Kingdoms Alliance was too vast; it was normal that he didn't know about a particular kingdom. "Let's see what's in the storage bag first."

If you can't get the big one, take out the small one first and take a look.

According to Qing Yuzi, this was a treasure that could help him "rebuild" to the peak of the Ascension Realm and increase his chances of surviving the next Spiritual Energy Revival. "Buzz~"

Zhao Xing poured his soul power into it, and since it was an unclaimed Universe Storage Bag, he refined it with ease. "As expected of an elite disciple, even this small storage bag has a lot of space."

The bag's opening rapidly widened, transforming the pocket into a five-meter-high, three-meter-wide gate. The opening could even expand, depending on the size of the storage space inside.

In short, it needs to be able to be put in and taken out.

If the space inside were as vast as a prefecture and ten thousand meters high, then its opening could become that large. "Divide!"

Zhao Xing's soul power transformed into a phantom and entered the bag. The Universe Storage Bag and the Pure Yuan Space are opposites.

The Universe Storage Bag cannot store living things, while the Pure Yuan Space can only hold living beings and pure energy bodies.

"Tsk tsk, as expected of an elite, even the spare storage bag is so big, and there's even a palace inside." At first, Zhao Xing thought it was to help users categorize and organize their items.

Of course, if you don't like the fancy design, you can demolish the Bright Palace to make room for more space. But that's unnecessary.

Because the space inside is already quite large.

"The space is five kilometers long, one hundred meters wide and one hundred meters high. The Bright Palace is at the very end, facing the direction of the pocket."

"It's all show and no substance, with this kind of format." Zhao Xing was definitely a pragmatist. If it were a spherical space, it could hold much more things. The current long and narrow cubic space, with a palace occupying it, means there's not much room for things.

"Hmm? It's not just decoration."

"The Sun Moon Palace is a palace-like treasure that can be used to smash people or trap enemies. Its greatest strength is its defense." "According to the Profound Yellow World, it is a peerless treasure."

"According to the classification of the universe, it belongs to the Star-Level Dao Soldier." After refining it, the first thing Zhao Xing sensed was the treasure Sun Moon Palace.

Star-Level Dao Soldier also have different ranks; Realm Star is also a star, as are Taiming Star and Sun Star.

"This Sun Moon Palace is just an ordinary Starry Sky Dao Soldiers. If it were Taiyin Dao Soldiers, Solar Dao Soldier, or World Star Dao Soldiers, it would be valuable." This classification is mainly based on the power and range of the Dao Soldier.

A weapon capable of influencing an ordinary star, or even covering an entire star, is Star-Level Dao Soldier. In the Profound Yellow World, that would be considered a rare treasure.

If it were World Star Dao Soldiers, it could break the rules of the world. If Qing Yuzi had such a thing, he would have run away long ago.

Taiyin Dao Soldiers and Solar Dao Soldier exist in every star field. Generally speaking, World Star Dao Soldiers are weaker than Taiyin Dao Soldiers and Solar Dao Soldier, but this varies. Some World Star Dao Soldiers are formed by refining incredibly powerful Realm Star, and their power is unimaginable.

"This Starry Sky Dao Soldiers was probably made using materials from the Yin Star and the Sun Star, so it can be considered a high-grade weapon," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

If we land on a barren planet, taking out the Sun Moon Palace would prevent us from having to withstand the planet's Earth Vein and live a life of hardship. "Compared to the Ruler Palace Ruler Palace, which has the ability to teleport and is also very powerful offensive, the Sun Moon Palace is mainly for defense and trapping enemies."

"I wonder which is stronger, this spear or this shield." Zhao Xing wasn't Mechanism Master; these large contraptions had many uses, and their full potential needed further research. He then used his soul power avatar to enter the Sun Moon Palace for a look.

Soon, three more treasures were discovered.

"A complete Tian Qi Soul Tool! This is a treasure to aid cultivation. It should have been used by Qing Yuzi, Pu Ta, or Su Xianzi?" Upon entering the hall, Zhao Xing saw a seven-colored ball of light on the display case.

"Tian Qi is a renowned blacksmith in Qing Yuzi's area."

"Judging from its appearance, it also conforms to the appearance of a complete soul weapon. Back then, Wu Yuan's Fate Soul only had a thumb-sized rhomboid fragment, but this little ball is perfect." "In my perception, its power of rules is also more complete, with Yin-Yang Five Elements gathered together. It is even more advanced than the one in Deus's hand." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

After Deus and his servants died, only Deus obtained the Tian Qi Soul Tool; the rest vanished into thin air. Enlightenment-type Soul Weapons are intentionally made fragile, and some even have limited uses.

"This one is called the [Ascension Soul Tool], which Qing Yuzi once used." As Zhao Xing approached, its function was displayed. In other words, it is a cultivation accelerator that can help a person comprehend the Dao to the peak of the Ascension Realm.

"Unlimited uses, easy to unbind and refine, this could be a family heirloom," Zhao Xing thought to himself. Those with limited uses and no unbinding wouldn't be as expensive.

Because it can only be used by one person.

The Ascension Soul Tool can only allow one person to cultivate to the Ascension Realm.

Those with limitations are mostly prepared by powerful individuals for their descendants born in Realm Star and small worlds, allowing them to quickly break free from the shackles of their original rules. Those without limitations can be kept as family heirlooms; with just this one [Ascension Soul Tool], the family can prosper!

"Among countless Ascension Realm, one Source Origin Realm will eventually emerge."

"This might not be fully effective in the Profound Yellow World, but in the cosmic version, it's Big Treasure." Zhao Xing was delighted.

Once we enter the cosmic version, there will be fewer ways to make money and develop. Cruelty and chaos will be the main themes, unlike the Great Zhou, which had a safe and stable order. With the [Ascension Soul Tool], if we need money, we can sell it for a large sum of money, which can be used as start-up capital for farming and development!

"The second treasure."

Zhao Xing looked at another display case.

Floating above is a hemisphere, within which grow flowers, trees, mountains, Jiang He, and even the sun, moon, and stars are etched on its surface. The five elements flow within the hemisphere, creating a microcosm.

"The Solar Terms Grand View Realm?" Zhao Xing immediately perked up.

The program inside is showing the Heavenly Timing terms on a loop.

The cosmic version of the Agricultural Official is also divided into three factions; this is a treasure of Heavenly Timing!

"Let's see how many solar terms it has. The more solar terms it has, the more valuable it is," Zhao Xing thought to himself. It was quite normal for Qing Yuzi, as a Agricultural Official, to carry such a treasure with him.

Due to the special nature of the Time Faction, even other professions can benefit greatly from obtaining such treasures.

"The Start of Spring, the Vernal Equinox, the Beginning of Start of Summer, the Summer Solstice, the Start of Autumn, the Autumn Equinox, the Beginning of Winter, the Winter Solstice. This is the Four Seasons and Eight Festivals Grand View Realm!" "Open the door! It's so open!"

Zhao Xing was so happy that he danced with joy.

Other varieties wouldn't be this valuable, but it possesses the evolution of eight important solar terms across four seasons, making it very valuable. Of course, the most valuable is the complete set of solar terms, but even that isn't found in Qing Yuzi.

Maybe, but it won't be here.

"The Four Seasons and Eight Festivals Grand View Realm has three effects."

"First, heal yourself, recovering from injuries, especially those caused by poison, from the deeper levels of the Inner Five Elements Heavens. Most poison-related injuries will result in death by winter. 'What kind of Insect Witch would kneel and sing praises before this treasure?'"

"Second, restore the Heavenly Timing. Establish a temporary ecosystem on the barren planet for human habitation." "The cosmic version of the Time Faction is very effective, and this treasure is a classic example."

"Third, comprehension, because the treasures of the Time Faction are the rules of evolution, so even other professions can comprehend the mysteries of the four seasons and learn the moves." "Ascension Soul Tool is enlightenment."

"The Four Seasons and Eight Festivals Grand View Realm is the Realm of Enlightenment." The third item was an ice coffin. "Major Cold Ice Sealing Coffin."

"Hmm? This also incorporates techniques from the Profound Heaven Sect?" Zhao Xing examined the third item closely. It was a Clearwater City, ten meters wide, twenty meters long, and five meters thick.

Many of the patterns and runes on it gave Zhao Xing a sense of familiarity.

"It seems that Qing Yuzi came to the Profound Yellow World to learn about the local characteristics. Oh no, he is the Agricultural Official, so this thing must have been made by his friend Pu Ta." Zhao Xing could imagine it.

After suffering repeated setbacks in the Profound Yellow World, Qing Yuzi and his two companions finally humbled themselves and began to learn the local culture and cultivation methods of the Profound Yellow World. With their strength, finding several strongholds of the Profound Heaven Sect would not be difficult.

Then they created this [Major Cold Ice Sealing Coffin]. "Its purpose is to induce hibernation."

"The ice coffins of the Profound Heaven Sect still have many drawbacks, but this ice coffin has already reached the level of Starry Sky Dao Soldiers." "According to the description left on it, this coffin will not have any problems even if it sleeps for ten thousand years, and its lifespan will be consumed extremely slowly."

"Over ten thousand years, within a hundred thousand years, the proportion increases, and there will be aftereffects. But if I were an extraterrestrial, with this ice coffin, I could live even longer." Zhao Xing sighed. If he had this thing, even if he didn't succeed in ascending during the Wu Emperor's era, he could still wait for the Spiritual Energy Revival.

He glanced around and noticed several bottles and jars displayed nearby, though most were empty. "Only about three hundred bottles weren't empty, including spirit liquids and various pills—all precious consumables."

"Qing Yuzi was right, he really can help people recover to the Ascension Realm quickly." The start-up capital is quite generous!

Zhao Xing checked the contents, then his soul avatar left the storage bag. After putting the storage bag away, Zhao Xing bowed towards Qing Yuzi's corpse. "Fellow Daoist, I, Zhao Xing, have taken your things, so I will certainly do you a service."

"If I successfully ascend this time, I will go to the Purple God Mansion of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom to inform your master."

There were four skeletons before Qing Yuzi's desk, but these were clearly Qing Yuzi's former disciples who chose to remain here to die alongside their teacher. Seeing that there was no further movement within the water mansion, Zhao Xing withdrew through the light gate.

"Buzz~"

The walls closed, becoming perfectly sealed again, as if nothing had happened. At the same time, the sounds echoing in the corridor disappeared.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Xing continued walking forward.

"Qing Yuzi's methods for dealing with the 'fellow villagers' are one aspect, but he didn't place all his hopes on the unknown 'fellow villagers.' He definitely still wanted to train the natives as apprentices to reach the Ascension Realm."

"This method is more reliable."

"But he erased all traces before. What was he trying to prevent? Does Qing Yuzi have any disciples who have established influence outside, and that influence continues to this day?" "Are there any other figures in the Profound Yellow World with similar experiences to Qing Yuzi?"

"If the Southern Barbarians forces once obtained a similar inheritance, will it make my attack on Southern Barbarians more difficult? Does that one in the Ruins of Return truly still exist...?"

For a moment, Zhao Xing thought about many things, and before he knew it, he had reached the end. At the end were three enormous stone tablets.

One of the stone tablets caught Zhao Xing's attention. "The Derivation God Stele?"

Indeed, the stone tablet in the middle that Zhao Xing saw was the Derivation God Stele!

"The Derivation God Stele is a cosmic version of something, so it's normal for Qing Yuzi to have it."

"In comparison, the Derivation God Stele obtained by the Great Zhou was much smaller and incomplete."

Zhao Xing had seen the Derivation God Stele from the Great Zhou before, but the accompanying power was very vague. However, the one here was much clearer.

"So it turns out the source is incomplete, which naturally creates obstacles in cultivation." Zhao Xing understood. "Using the Derivation God Stele as a test is indeed a common method of selection." As for the murals carved on the other two steles, he had no idea what they were.

It should be a legacy from the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom.

After waiting for a while, Establish Dao Dharma Body also materialized beside the three Dao Stone; it was none other than Qing Yuzi.

However, Qing Yuzi's demeanor was different at this moment. His expression was cold and his aura was overwhelming, completely different from his appearance in the version of his Last Words. "That's right, a teacher should be serious."

Zhao Xing waited for Qing Yuzi to speak.

"Please study the three murals before you and create your own secret techniques."

"If the secret technique you create can penetrate the mural, you can proceed to the next test."

"The murals on the Dao Stone are respectively ' The Derivation God Art ', ' The Purple Moon Origin ', and ' The Void Wind '."

"Each attempt at enlightenment has a time limit, and the specific requirements vary from person to person. You will be granted five years of enlightenment time." "If you fail to pass the First Stage within five years, you will forget this ruin, but you will retain your self-created secret technique."

The rules are simple: create your own secret technique to Wall Breaker and you can advance to the next level.

"Back then, Li Boqian created his Ultimate Law. He had just realized that the power of Yuan Seal was the ultimate First-Turn, but even so, he still couldn't pass the test." "Qing Yuzi's requirements are really high. But then again, who among those who can reach the Ascension Realm isn't a person of extraordinary talent?"

"But Qing Yuzi still wants geniuses in the Ascension Realm; otherwise, it will be difficult to achieve his goal. It seems he still has quite a few treasures."

Zhao Xing thought to himself.

The Starry Sky Dao Soldiers is used casually to send messages to fellow villagers; how could he be without one for his own successor? "Five years... I don't know if I can pass the test."

"I can't comprehend it now. We don't know what's going on outside yet. My clones outside have also lost their effectiveness. Five years is too long. I need to go out and tell them." "I'll also go out and use up the Tian Qi Soul Tool."

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment, then retraced his steps and walked out of the Divine Temple.

"Huh? How did we get out of here?" Chen Ju and Divine Luo King looked up, both somewhat surprised.

When the experts sent by the Great Zhou were exploring this ruin, as long as they did not possess the Purple Light Divine Token, they would appear directly in the outside world after entering the Divine Temple and would not remember anything.

Nine people have tried it so far, and without exception.

But Zhao Xing went in and appeared here. How did he do that without the Purple Light Divine Token?

"Lord Zhao. Zhao Xing."

Chen Ju and the Divine Luo King immediately went to meet them.

"How did it go? Did you get anything?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Not much progress has been made; there's currently no hope of surrounding or moving the entire site." "Has Lord Zhao made any progress?"

Chen Ju's eyes gleamed. "I've made some progress," Zhao Xing said with a slight smile.

The things left behind by Qing Yuzi are indeed treasures: the complete Tian Qi Soul Tool, the miniature Grand View Realm, the Major Cold Ice Sealing Coffin, the Sun Moon Palace, and more than three hundred bottles of elixirs and spirit liquids, all of which are precious consumables.

From Zhao Xing's perspective, Qing Yuzi, a treasure left behind by the Agricultural Official, was even better than the Dragon Court Ancient Land. Of course, there was no need to tell Chen Ju about this; it could be discussed with Wu Emperor later.

"Can Lord Zhao escape the influence of the rules?" Chen Ju was concerned about this. "Not exactly," Zhao Xing shook his head.

As a member of Qing Yuzi's cosmic alliance, he was a fellow townsman. Of course, he wouldn't be affected by the rules and forget these things.

To undergo the test of inheritance, that's another matter.

Regarding the matter of inheritance, if Zhao Xing fails the test, he will forget it as well.

One thing at a time. Giving something to help with the recovery was Qing Yuzi's way of sending a message back. If you want to learn the inheritance, you have to follow the rules of the Purple God Mansion.

"There is indeed a selection mechanism inside, and the time limit for comprehension varies from person to person." "The stronger the talent and aptitude, the more lenient the time given."

"Conversely, if there's little hope of passing, a simple test will tell, so there's no need to waste time and they'll be quickly moved out," Zhao Xing explained. "Talent, aptitude?" Chen Ju was somewhat taken aback. "Weren't the nine who entered the Divine Temple before sufficiently talented?"

Zhao Xing nodded.

It's disheartening, but that's the harsh reality! "I'm going out now."

"You can explore at your own pace."

Zhao Xing had no interest in talking to them anymore.

Now that he can confirm that the Purple Light God's Ruins are not dangerous, he should go up there and adjust the Great Zhou's strategy.

At the same time, he also gained a lot of information from Qing Yuzi's Last Words, and he needed to adjust his own plans for the future. Whoosh

Zhao Xing used the "Inches Away, Ends of Earth" technique and flew towards the entrance.

"The Ascension Realm, achieved after countless hardships, is nothing in the vast universe."

"In our past lives, many of us players spent our time in the universe doing jobs like mining, serving food, and odd jobs. The better ones became low-level soldiers." "Most of the players who Agricultural Official were miserable farmers, and they didn't even get paid."

"This is still a good situation; we're still alive, there's still hope, isn't that good?" "The cosmic version is all about coldness, chaos, and cruelty!"

"I need to accumulate more wealth and resources in the Profound Yellow World, and ascend with more money. I need start-up capital to succeed," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"Judging from Qing Yuzi's experience, there are probably other 'visitors from outer space' like him. It's just unknown how long they stayed, or whether some of them ascended with the divine dynasty." "Many legendary artifacts from the previous life can no longer be found. This possibility is very high."

"We also need to find out whether the Ruins of Return and the Southern Barbarian Holy Mountain have been reinforced." Although Zhao Xing now possessed the gifts left behind by Qing Yuzi, he still had no confidence in the ascension plan. "The more you know, the more you think. Sometimes ignorance is bliss."

"However, we must hold onto what Qing Yuzi, Pu Ta, and Su Xianzi left behind. Otherwise, it will only make things more difficult."

Zhao Xing knew very well that after Deus revealed the ruins, many forces would come to fight for them.

The mere revelation of the Tian Qi Soul Tool by Deus was enough to cause a sensation.

They were outside the barrier.

Zhao Xing immediately activated the Rule Leap and appeared on Liu Tianning's ship.

"How did you get out?"

Liu Tianning sensed Zhao Xing's presence and immediately came out to check.

"There is some intelligence that I must inform you of first," Zhao Xing said. "Please take me to the Ruler Palace immediately, teacher, to report to His Majesty and convene a meeting of the Six Ministries." "Alright." Liu Tianning did not hesitate and immediately led Zhao Xing to the underwater palace.

"Splash!"

As the deep-sea ship surfaced, Zhao Xing looked up and saw that the thick glacier above had formed a walled city.

The city wall stretched for over three hundred miles, the aura of Magic Array flowing along it, and thunderclouds shrouded the sky. Zhao Xing even saw soil here. Compared to a few days ago, this place had been completely transformed, looking entirely different.

"Even the Kunyuan Divine Hoe has been used."

Zhao Xing looked at the thick soil and the distant mountain ranges. "The imperial court reacted quickly enough."

"They were all dug from the Seven Grotto-Heaven and Two Blessed Lands of the Western Extreme Province, and most of the military supplies were also transported from there."

As Liu Tianning and Zhao Xing headed towards the Ruler Palace, they explained, "The news has spread far and wide; a battle is inevitable here sooner or later."

"Teacher must be under a lot of pressure," Zhao Xing said. Fighting the West Si Country is a completely different concept from dealing with the Southern Barbarians forces, sectarian forces, and the Eastern Ying forces. The Great Zhou could destroy the West Si Country with a flick of its wrist, but fighting these forces was no easy task.

"The pressure is immense, and it's not just me. Rahu King, Wei Hong, Lu Ying... even His Majesty felt immense pressure upon receiving the news," Liu Tianning said. "The Four Great Royal Courts of the Southern Barbarians have all mobilized, along with the Ten Great Divine Sects and thirty-six top sects."

"The native inhabitants of Eastern Ying, the North Sea, Western Extremity Continent... are all restless."

The exaggerated mobilization gave Zhao Xing the feeling that a world war involving the entire Profound Yellow World was about to break out.

The only allies of the Great Zhou were some weak vassal states and Shui chieftains.

When Zhao Xing arrived at the Ruler Palace and saw the complete intelligence report, he realized just how serious the situation was.

"We are at a disadvantage if we fight here. The imperial court's efforts in managing Western Extreme Province are far less than those in Pinghai Province," Rahu King.

Zhao Xing nodded. Emperor Jing had been cultivating Pinghai Province for 278 years in advance when he fought against the Southern Barbarians during the New Splendor Era.

Military preparedness, the mobilization of various resources, including the rational placement of powerful individuals, the calculations of the Creation Disc... these are all things that the Western Extreme Province cannot compare to.

Who would have thought of going on such a big adventure in the Western Extremity Continent?

"Of course, the hostile forces were also unprepared, and everyone is back to Qidian. It all depends on how determined they are," Rahu King.

"What is Your Majesty thinking?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Let's fight and negotiate at the same time, stalling for time," Rahu King. "Let's dig up the treasure quickly; even if only some soup and water are left, it doesn't matter if someone else takes it."

Zhao Xing nodded slightly. It was no easy feat for a new emperor to make such a decision upon his ascension to the throne.

Fighting a national war on the glaciers of the far-off Western Extremity Continent Western Extreme Province hard to understand. The resources wasted and the number of powerful warriors killed would certainly exceed those during Emperor Jing's reign. How long has it been since Emperor Jing's conquest of the barbarians? If another war of even greater scale were to break out, the pressure on the Great Zhou would be immense.

"Zhao Xing, did you find anything down there? Tell me quickly." Rahu King looked at Zhao Xing expectantly. It was true that he was a warmonger, but he also had to consider whether it was worth fighting for and whether there were any great benefits. He couldn't explain away the little stuff that Deus had.

If there are sufficient gains, even just the expected gains, his ability to deploy troops and coordinate all parties becomes much easier.

"A major discovery has been made." Zhao Xing nodded. "The Purple Light God Ruins below were left by an extraterrestrial visitor, and I have already obtained some of the treasures."

Zhao Xing took out his Universe Storage Bag and patted it, and then more than three hundred bottles and jars flew out.

He then showed the Sun Moon Palace, the Tian Qi Soul Tool, and the Grand View Realm to Rahu King, Liu Tianning, Lu Ying, Wei Hong.

"Aside from these precious materials, the Sun Moon Palace, the Tian Qi Soul Tool, the Grand View Realm, and even this storage bag are all treasures."

Let me introduce you...

When Zhao Xing took these things out, the Ruler Palace fell silent, with only a few heavy breathing sounds heard.

The Sun Moon Palace, the Tian Qi Soul Tool, the Grand View Realm, Universe Storage Bag are all peerless treasures in the Profound Yellow World!

Chen Ju, who followed, was a pacifist. His eyes were red and his breathing became rapid.

Chen Ju had only one thought in his mind: What peace faction? That was yesterday! Whoever tries to take it from me, I'll fight them!

"Grand Commandant, Grand Minister of Agriculture, Grand Craftsman Official, Priest, and all the Junior Ministers... tell me, are these things enough for the Great Zhou to be determined to defend this place?" Zhao Xing said, looking at everyone.

"Enough! Absolutely enough!" Chen Ju could no longer hold back and shouted loudly.

His voice was so loud that it startled Lu Ying, who was standing next to him.

What's going on, bro? Didn't you always talk about universal love?

His Majesty appointed you as Junior Director of Works so that you could keep me in check. We can't let the entire Works Department become a war fanatic!

Chen Ju completely ignored Lu Ying's gaze, his eyes fixed on the miniature palace floating in mid-air, the Grand View Realm sphere, and the Tian Qi Soul Tool. Zhao Xing said this was just a drop in the ocean of the ruins' treasure; who could possibly bear this!

"I think that's enough," Wei Hong immediately stated. "Me too," Liu Tianning smiled.

Rahu King as Zhao Xing finished his explanation, then couldn't help but take a deep breath. "Immediately report to His Majesty, this is a treasure bestowed by Heaven; we must take it!"

"I hereby command the troops of the Nineteen Provinces, the three hundred and sixty-seven Grotto-Heaven, and the eighty-two blessed lands, mobilizing the entire nation's strength to protect the treasures of the Western Extremity Glacier!"
