A familiar place, a familiar location.

Upon arriving at the Water Palace once more, Zhao Xing saw the skeleton seated in the main seat, leaning on a cane, dressed in monastic robes, and with its head bowed. "Buzz~"

Qing Yuzi's Establish Dao Dharma Body reappeared.

"My name is Qing Yuzi, the master of Qing Yu World Star, and the power I belong to the Purple God Mansion of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom within the Desolate Territory Ancient Kingdoms Alliance. I am already dead. What you see now is my Establish Dao Dharma Body..."

Qing Yuzi's message was almost identical to the message she left for her "fellow villager".

sto9✿️. com

It mainly addresses three questions: Who am I? Where am I? Where am I going?

The difference was that when he spoke to the inheritor, he explained more about the forces in the universe and introduced his lineage. Zhao Xing listened helplessly as he listened to his long Gulu explanation, all of which were things he already knew.

He was eager to get out of there as soon as possible. After all, he had been imprisoned for fifty-three years, and he was still worried about the outside world. But there was no option to skip it, so he could only wait quietly for the 'transition animation' to end.

After speaking for an unknown period of time, Qing Yuzi finally finished giving his Last Words.

Just when Zhao Xing thought that the next step was to become an apprentice and then obtain the treasure,

A ripple appeared on Qing Yuzi's Establish Dao Dharma Body, accompanied by a hissing sound. Then, above Qing Yuzi's head, a scene seemed to appear: the scene of Zhao Xing's first entry into the Water Mansion.

Then, several Qing Yuzi appeared out of thin air from different directions and merged together. After a tremor, the Qing Yuzi ' expressions became somewhat vivid.

He looked at Zhao Xing and smiled slightly, "I never expected that the one who passed the inheritance test would be a fellow Daoist from an allied force."

"Well, after fifty-three years, I broke through the barrier of the Daoist temple and used a more profound Star Patrol Positioning Method to complete the reset of the Taiyin Origin Star. My arrangements and supernatural powers are probably laughable to you, fellow Daoist."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xing immediately became serious. He cupped his hands towards Qing Yuzi and said, "I dare not. It is I who have troubled you, fellow Daoist." "Fellow Daoist's supernatural powers are truly eye-opening."

The reason Old Master Zhao was so solemn was that Qing Yuzi had once again exceeded his expectations. This was because the current Qing Yuzi was no longer a purely Establish Dao Dharma Body, but possessed his own will.

There are only a few possibilities for the Establish Dao Dharma Body to reach such a level in a small world.

First, Qing Yuzi's Daoist temple and his Establish Dao Dharma Body both involve the origin of the Profound Yellow World, which is why his Establish Dao Dharma Body within his temple can retain a certain degree of consciousness. Second, Qing Yuzi used a very powerful treasure, combined with his Daoist temple, to communicate with Zhao Xing across hundreds of thousands of years of time and space.

The temple itself has continuity; even if a person has been dead for a long time, their Establish Dao Dharma Body still exists.

The Fate Officials knows the past and future; even Ji Si, back in the Dragon Court, could travel decades and write letters to future recipients. The Fate Officials's Treasure in the cosmic version is naturally even stronger. If Qing Yuzi possesses such a treasure, combined with his Source Origin Realm abilities, then it makes sense.

Of course, these are all just Zhao Xing's guesses, but they are probably pretty close to the truth.

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me." Qing Yuzi cupped his hands in greeting. "Since you have come here for the second time, it proves that everything is guided by fate." "In any case, since someone has been able to take my inheritance, I can say that I have hope of returning to my roots."

Zhao Xing immediately stated, "Since I have received your kindness, I will definitely go to the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom to return your remains and belongings after leaving the Profound Yellow World." "If you have any other instructions, I can also return the treasures to your relatives and friends, and leave the Profound Yellow World with your treasures."

This wasn't a lie. For him, leaving the Profound Yellow World was the most important thing. With the mountains high and birds free to fly, and the sea wide and fish free to leap, he didn't necessarily need Qing Yuzi's possessions. Qing Yuzi laughed, "Fellow Daoist, don't underestimate me. I'm already dead; why would I care about things from my past life?"

"Fellow Daoist's vision is far-reaching, I dare not presume to accept you as my disciple."

"If you escape, fellow Daoist, and are willing, after sending a message, you may choose a disciple for me to pass on the Dao in my stead."

"Time is merciless. I don't even know how many years have passed since my death. Perhaps my underground arrangements will have decayed, and I don't even know if there will still be an opportunity for people to ascend..." "As for other things, I won't ask for much more."

Zhao Xing couldn't help but bow again to express his admiration for Qing Yuzi.

Cultivation techniques can influence a person's character. Qingyuzi's character was similar to many of the Tian Shi Sect's agricultural officials he had met: carefree, broad-minded, and insightful.

"I will definitely choose a disciple for you, fellow Daoist, to Attaining Dao lineage from declining," Zhao Xing promised. He didn't make any Fate Soul Oath, because there were many ways to break such a vow. Qing Yuzi clearly knew this as well; he nodded and then began to talk about other things.

"If you wish to ascend, the Southern Wilderness and the Ruins of Return are the greatest obstacles."

"When my friends Pu Ta, Su Xianzi, and I failed to ascend to immortality after creating the Yu Dynasty, it was certainly due to bad timing, but the obstacles from the Southern Wilderness and Returning Ruins were also key factors."

Therefore, I later adjusted my understanding of the "Eight Disciplines Purple Light" supernatural power, including a section specifically designed for this purpose. I have attempted to decipher it, hoping it will be helpful to fellow Daoists.

Zhao Xing nodded. After fifty-three years of contemplation, he had also figured out some of the tricks of the trade.

Because many star positions are not only missing, but have also been specifically adjusted. If the adjustments were made to the supernatural powers and methods specifically targeting the Southern Barbarians, then it makes sense. "In addition, my two good friends, Pu Ta and Su Xianzi, each left behind two supernatural powers, also specifically targeting these two difficulties."

Qing Yuzi said, "Furthermore, at the end of the final inheritance, the inheritor will be required to make Fate Soul Oath, no matter what, the inheritors of those two trials must assist you in conquering the Southern Wilderness."

"If he doesn't accept this, he won't be able to receive the inheritance, and all the techniques he's learned will be erased, making him forget everything and pass the inheritance to the second-place winner." Hearing this, Zhao Xing was overjoyed.

Therefore, it's impossible for the inheritances of three Source Origin Realm to have fallen into the hands of the Southern Barbarian Royal Court. Perhaps the Sect Realm or the Eastern Ying might have been involved, but the Southern Barbarians absolutely could not.

Unless you're willing to betray the Witch Moon God and become a double agent.

"No wonder. Back then, when Qing Yuzi and the other two escaped from the Profound Yellow World, they found that the Southern Barbarians were blocking their way, causing Pu Ta to die before he could live for a thousand years. Qing Yuzi and Su Xianzi both suffocated here."

"It's hard to say that he won't harbor resentment towards the Southern Barbarian Holy Mountain," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "Qing Yuzi is the most powerful of the three, and his successor will be the ultimate leader, while the other two are natural allies. This also aligns with the true essence of ascension."

"In that case, I do hope that someone outside the Great Zhou Dynasty will inherit the legacy."

"Whoever inherits the legacy will inevitably become a traitor, staying in the enemy camp as an inside agent. It's practically impossible to guard against." Just as Zhao Xing was thinking about how he could use this rule.

Having finished explaining everything, Qing Yuzi's body gradually dissipated, leaving only his melancholy voice echoing. "The Purple Moon shines brightly, Qingyu stands in my old home. A thousand strands of homesickness entwine, returning to my dreams every night. Fellow Daoist, please take me home..."

Watching Qing Yuzi's Establish Dao Dharma Body gradually dissipate, Zhao Xing remained silent for a long time. After a while, he finally approached Qing Yuzi's remains.

As the Pure Yuan Projection unfolded, Zhao Xing cut down several large trees from the soil and made them into coffins.

He then lit three incense sticks, bowed to Qing Yuzi's remains, and carefully placed Qing Yuzi's remains and clothes into the coffin.

He didn't strip Qing Yuzi of his robes, even though it looked like a Starry Sky Dao Soldiers. Since Qing Yuzi hadn't put it in his Great Universe Bag, Zhao Xing wouldn't touch it. After all, he had taken someone else's things. Although he hadn't formally become Qingyuzi's disciple, the dead should be respected, and the proper respect should still be shown.

In front of Qing Yuzi was a table with what appeared to be some miscellaneous notes he had written. These materials used for his notes hadn't decayed in the temple. Zhao Xing collected them and stored them in a box.

After quickly arranging the funeral, Zhao Xing took the large Qiankun bag down.

"Qing Yuzi's personal storage bag is much larger than the previous small storage bag," Zhao Xing said after checking it. The space inside was about ten times that of the small storage bag.

"There are many things, mostly treasures, which seem to be treasures that exist in the Profound Yellow World itself."

"Qing Yuzi is quite the sweetheart. He's prepared enough supplies to fill several mountains for the inheritor. With this amount of supplies, he'll probably be able to build a powerful force very soon." These are treasure-level supplies, worth mountains.

Among them are fragments of the soul artifact that Lord Deus gave to Wu Yuan, which can help people comprehend the Dao.

"More than three thousand of these soul weapon fragments are extremely difficult to untie. While they might not be considered expensive in the universe version, they are valuable items in the Profound Yellow World, capable of enabling one to comprehend the realm of rules. How could he be carrying so many?"

"Oh, right, he's the master of Qing Yu World Star. He already had his own power, so it's normal for him to have things like this." "And there are also Wind Elm Fruit that improve aptitude. I only got one in the First Stage, but there are mountains of them here."

"A large quantity of antidote pills, each with its own formula—are these for the Ten Calamities?"

"The collected spiritual energy has condensed into liquid and filled many boxes. Hmm? This is spiritual energy crystallization, hiss..." A treasure, without a doubt, this is a Big Treasure of the Profound Yellow World.

No wonder Witch Moon God tried every means to prevent the Great Zhou from obtaining this treasure; this batch of treasures would definitely make the Great Zhou incredibly powerful in the future. The precious materials and treasures were piled together, while three treasures were placed separately in the center of the storage bag.

The first item was familiar to Zhao Xing; it was still from the Solar Terms Grand View Realm, but the quality was somewhat different.

"The one we obtained before only had eight solar terms, and could only be used for people to comprehend. It was a low-grade Starry Sky Dao Soldiers."

"This one has sixteen solar terms, and it is illuminated by Purple Moon."

"It incorporates fragments of the Lunar Yin Purple Moon's origin, making it a superior-grade Starry Sky Dao Soldiers. It's not only for comprehension but also for use in conjunction with the ' Eight Disciplines Purple Moon ' Minor Divine Ability Soldier technique. The second treasure is shaped like a leaf, radiating vibrant life force."

Upon seeing it, Zhao Xing was taken aback. "The top leaf of the Azure Firmament Tree? It has been refined into a treasure? There is no real Azure Firmament Tree in the Profound Yellow World!"

Cangwu and Yellow Springs are legendary sacred trees.

In Liu Tianning's Four Seasons Divine Splendor Dao Field, there is a divine tree called Yellow Springs Guide, but it is not the real Yellow Springs Tree. It is just a distant relative and is very different from the real Azure Firmament Divine Tree.

"The top leaf of the Azure Firmament Tree, containing the Life Great Dao, has been refined into a treasure; this thing is like a second life," Zhao Xing couldn't help but exclaim. According to the instructions left by Qing Yuzi, refining the Azure Firmament Leaf automatically grants one a Life Domain.

After reaching the Ascension Realm, one can advance to the Life Dojo.

Upon reaching the Source Origin Realm, one can comprehend the supernatural powers related to the Life Great Dao.

Liu Tianning has mastered the Life Domain, and he is incredibly fierce when he fights. He constantly drains people's life force, and anyone who gets close to him will lose their lifespan. How terrifying is that?! In the Second Stage, the Gu Lu Star, he relied on his Life Domain to withstand the suppression of the rules. He was able to shout out the word "I" as soon as he entered.

One of the supernatural powers that Agricultural Official desired most was related to the Source of Life. "After refining it, injuries to the physical body are basically healed instantly."

"If one masters life-related supernatural abilities, one's primordial spirit can reside in Azure Firmament Leaf, and even if the physical body is reduced to ashes, one can be reborn from this Azure Firmament Leaf."

"After being refined, Qing Yuzi's flesh is like Tang Sanzang's flesh. Anyone who eats a piece of his flesh can prolong their life. No wonder he lived so long and recovered so quickly. He had just ascended to heaven after the Xia Dynasty and soon after he founded the Yu Dynasty and planned to leave. By then, his injuries must have already healed."

"Such a top-grade treasure is definitely comparable in value to Realm Star Dao weapon." Zhao Xing then looked at the third treasure.

It was a transparent book, with light circulating on its surface. When Zhao Xing looked at it, a scene appeared on the transparent book. "Zhao Xing, you're out? How did it go?"

"Lord Ji, don't ask me yet, tell me about the situation outside. The fifty-three years you've been gone..."

When Zhao Xing looked away, the book became transparent again. "Ha, so there really is this treasure."

Zhao Xing couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.

The treasure crafted by the Cosmic Version Fate Officials: Star Fortune Strategy. "This is a treasure of the World Star Dao Soldiers level."

"No wonder Qing Yuzi was able to combine his own Daoist temple to communicate with me across time and space," Zhao Xing couldn't help but sigh.

Star Fortune Strategy can be considered a cosmic version of the Chinese almanac, capable of predicting good and bad fortune. Of course, its function differs from that of the traditional Chinese almanac.

The underlying principles for their effectiveness are also different.

"In the theoretical basis of Fate Officials, every star in the universe possesses 'star fortune.' They emit a kind of aura of fortune that cannot be seen by ordinary means."

"Based on this theoretical foundation, the Fate Officials divides the stars into 'auspicious stars' and 'inauspicious stars.' This is the origin of the Lucky Star Shining Brightly shines brightly upon you,' signifying great luck."

"The Star Fortune Strategy, as a World Star Dao Soldiers, is crafted using a 'lucky star'." Zhao Xing was somewhat puzzled after understanding the quality of the Star Fortune Strategy.

Qing Yuzi already has this thing, how could he still be tricked? Just how powerful are his enemies?

"The Realm Star- level [Star Fortune Strategy] is not just about predicting good or bad fortune; it allows non-fate-related professions to see glimpses of the future without needing to learn magic. Fate-related theories believe that each star, while radiating the light of destiny, is also a record-keeping vessel, its light reflecting the past and future."

"This is the principle behind creating Star Fortune Strategy."

Zhao Xing had just seen his conversation with Ji Si after he went outside, and he saw what Ji Si would ask.

"Dude, you're not just unlucky, you've run into a master."

Zhao Xing sighed. With these few items, to still be forced to land in the Profound Yellow World, Qing Yuzi's enemies must be far stronger and possess far more treasures than him. "These items are incredibly valuable. With just these few things, Qing Yuzi would be a very wealthy man in the Third Realm of Origin Realm."

However, these items cannot unleash their full power in the Profound Yellow World, Zhao Xing is currently unable to use them at all. "At the Establish Dao Realm, the only thing I can fully utilize is probably an enhanced version of the Grand View Realm."

Qing Yuzi's storage bag contained several secret techniques, but Zhao Xing Wuxin to examine them at the moment. He had been there for fifty-three years and needed to quickly understand the situation outside.

His mind emerged from the Great Universe Bag, and he picked up a purple staff. This was the Purple God Token, which controlled the Purple God Ruins.

It is equivalent to the master control switch of the underground ruins.

"Although this treasure is only a top-grade rare item, it is Magic Array that can control the entire ruins." "Including the previous passages, it controls the inheritance level of the entire Azure Elm Dao Field."

Zhao Xing thought to himself.

As for the inheritance trials of Pu Ta and Su Xianzi, he had no control over them. However, he could glimpse the progress of those trials.

"Let's see how many people have made it to the third level."

Zhao Xing waved the Purple God Token, and then a Water Screen appeared before his eyes.

The third stage is distributed, with each person appearing individually in the simulated Purple Moon and asteroid belt. The Establish Dao Dharma Body remains effective in different stages of the Qing Yuzi.

Only the Establish Dao Dharma Body in the Water Mansion has vanished forever. Qing Yuzi handed the choice over to Zhao Xing.

He is now the master of this place, able to choose whether or not to let anyone continue the challenge. Even without the rewards, these challenges are still a good place for cultivation.

Thirty-five years ago, Liu Tianning was the second to enter the third level.

"In other words, it took me eighteen years after I entered the third level for Old Liu to enter."

"And then there's Ling Tianchen, who entered the league 25 years after me, seven years later than Old Liu." "Profound Heaven Divine Venerable, three years later than Ling Tianchen."

"The Mist Walker joined 30 years after I joined, 12 years later than Old Liu."

"Hua Bao Celestial Lord Venerable, tsk tsk, this old codger, he thought I didn't know he was hiding his strength. He actually entered five years earlier than the Mist Walker, and is almost on par with Ling Tianchen." "Two madmen from the Heaven Realm, Changsun Kui of the Corpse Puppet Sect? They entered about forty years after I entered."

Zhao Xing understood immediately.

A total of eight people entered the third round.

Liu Tianning, Ling Tianchen, Profound Heaven Divine Venerable, Hua Bao Celestial Lord, Mist Walker, the Wind and Rain Immortals of the Heaven Realm, and Elder Changsun Kui of the Corpse Puppet Sect. The rest are still in the Second Stage.

"The number of people in the Second Stage has increased from fifty-two to one hundred and one, almost doubling." "There are now many more Ultimate Law in the world."

Normally speaking, even if the Ultimate Law is born in the Profound Yellow World, there may still be many new laws emerging in an era.

However, the appearance of Qing Yuzi and the Enlightenment Stele and Enlightenment Law Stele he left behind accelerated this process and increased the probability of the Ultimate Law appearing.

"The Vitality Tide has already begun from the periphery, and so many Ultimate Law have been born. If placed in the Sect Realm, this is truly a 'glorious era,' a new era." Zhao Xing watched for a while, and with a thought, he appeared in the third level.

"Um?"

The Profound Heaven Divine Venerable, who was deep in meditation, suddenly looked in a certain direction, and his entire expression changed. "Zhao Xing? He has completed the final test!"

Profound Heaven Divine Venerable realized that it was all too late.

"Your Xuan Tianzi, are you willing to submit?" Zhao Xing asked calmly. "If you are willing, I can give you a chance to join the Great Zhou."

"Hmph, submit?" At this moment, the Profound Heaven Divine Venerable put everything aside. "The word 'submission' does not exist in my dictionary! Kill me!" He knew he couldn't resist, even though his strength was infinitely close to the true Rule Realm.

But in the domain of such a powerful being as the visitor from outer space, Zhao Xing became the new ruler, able to easily annihilate him.

"As you wish."

With Purple God Token Zhao Xing Xingzi, the Profound Heaven Divine Venerable silently turned to ashes.

At this moment, he is the master of Azure Elm Dao Field!

Even if someone were to truly Ascension Realm, they would be utterly defeated by Old Master Zhao, since Qing Yuzi is more than just Ascension Realm cultivator.

The Daoist temple he left behind could easily kill a Profound Heaven Divine Venerable.

"The Five Eight Divine Lord has come to an end just like that. In my previous life, he held on until the late stage of the Wu Emperor before being beheaded by Liu Tianning." Zhao Xing sighed.

He had no grudge against Profound Heaven Divine Venerable, but since he refused to submit, he had no choice but to kill him.

Swish~

Zhao Xing teleported again, appearing before Hua Bao Celestial Lord of the East Ao Great Serpent Country.

"The Duke Zhao?"

Hua Bao Celestial Lord immediately shuddered. "Congratulations to the Zhao Kingdom..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was gone.

Zhao Xing was too lazy to deal with such a shameless person; eliminating him was the most straightforward approach.

Moreover, in his previous life, he was wiped out once while on a mission in Eastern Ying, and it was this Hua Bao Celestial Lord Zun who tricked and killed him.

Now, I can say that my wish has been fulfilled.

Swish~

Zhao Xing teleported once again, appearing in front of the Mist Walker.

When the Mist Walker saw Zhao Xing's figure on the other side of the meteorite, he immediately understood everything.

Because his Karma Soul was touched, some restrictions were also lifted.

According to the sect's rules, he has now become the temporary sect leader.

"Celestial Venerable Zhao, my Senior Brother is dead, is that right?" the Mist Walker asked.

Zhao Xing looked at the Mist Walker with some surprise.

Why are you looking so excited?

"Yes, he's gone."

The Mist Walker immediately said, "Celestial Venerable Zhao, now that he is dead, I am the temporary sect leader, but I know that I am not worthy of the position. I request that Celestial Venerable Zhao succeed to the position of the Divine Sect Master."

"You want me to be the master of the Divine Sect?" Zhao Xing looked at the Mist Walker with great interest. He hadn't expected that what the Mist Walker and he had said in the square back then was actually from the heart.

Within this dojo, he could clearly see that what the Mist Walker said was sincere from the bottom of his heart.

But this guy actually wants to work for me?

"If it weren't for the sect's ancestral precepts, I would have already beheaded the former sect leader," the Mist Walker said with burning eyes. "Only you could truly lead the Divine Sect to rise again and accomplish the sect's great cause!"

"When I return from this journey, I will surely become a new deity and the new national advisor of the Golden Feather Royal Court."

"If you don't mind, I am willing to lead the Divine Sect to submit to your command and await your secret orders at the Golden Feather Royal Court."

Zhao Xing watched as the Mist Walker bowed, unsure of what to say.

He did have that intention, but he never expected that the Mist Walker wouldn't need him to persuade him or make any Fate Soul Oath.

That's what they think!

"Alright, Mist Walker, you'll follow me from now on. When I ascend to heaven, I'll take you with me!" Zhao Xing said. "I don't need you to make any Fate Soul Oath."

"The sect leader has a broad mind and a grand vision!" Mist Walker was deeply moved.

"I'll see you out." Unable to bear the man's fanatical gaze, Zhao Xing waved his hand dismissively, and the Mist Walker left.

"Since we've released the Mist Walker, we should let more people live, otherwise it'll be too conspicuous for him to be alive," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Therefore, he also spared Changsun Kui of the Corpse Puppet Sect.

"Changsun, you are a rare talent to be able to raise Parasitic Seeds."

"I'm letting you go back, but from now on you'll be a rat's tail juice."

Changsun Kui originally thought he was going to die, but unexpectedly Zhao Xing let him go.

His face was filled with astonishment; he never expected that this Duke Zhao would have such a magnanimous heart.

"Wind Immortal." Zhao Xing arrived at another place.

"Deceive?" The young man, who was engrossed in studying the Eight Disciplines Purple Light, couldn't help but look up. "You succeeded?"

"Mm." Zhao Xing nodded.

"Are you going to kill me?" Wind Immortal asked. "No, you can leave," Zhao Xing said.

"Hey, if you're not going to kill me, can I play a little longer..." Whoosh, he disappeared from the meteorite.

Rain Immortal received the same treatment and was moved away.

"Whoosh~"

Zhao Xing arrived at another place. "Teacher."

Liu Tianning was standing beside the meteorite, looking down. Upon hearing the voice, Liu Tianning smiled. "Zhao Xing, congratulations."

"I was just lucky," Zhao Xing laughed. "Teacher, you're quite quick at comprehending. At this rate, you'll succeed in another fifty years." "Now you can come and go as you please, have you gained access?" Liu Tianning asked.

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded. "Teacher can choose to continue comprehending here. I can reduce the difficulty to make it easier for you."

If Liu Tianning can learn it, that would be the best outcome. With one more person to perform the Eight Disciplines Purple Light Divine Power, the effect will be even stronger. In the meantime, it will also fulfill Qing Yuzi's last wish, achieving the best of both worlds.

"There's no need to comprehend it now," Liu Tianning said. "I don't know what the situation is outside, and I, as the Grand Minister of Agriculture, can't stay inside forever." "In any case, now that you've received the inheritance, you can come whenever you want."

"Alright." Zhao Xing nodded. "Then let's go out together." As for Ling Tianchen, he chose to continue his comprehension.

"I don't need your ' Lesser Agriculture Decree'. I'm slow to comprehend the Eightfold Divine Power, so you might as well let me go back to the Second Stage." "I'd like to continue my comprehension on the Gu Lu Star," Ling Tianchen said, revealing his thoughts.

"Okay." Zhao Xing nodded.

Ling Tianchen was then moved to the Second Stage Gu Lu Star.

Next, Zhao Xing moved to the Second Stage and First Stage respectively. He killed or released all the powerful figures who were not from the Great Zhou camp.

At the same time, the trial of Qing Yuzi's inheritance was closed and no longer open to the public. Suddenly, several hundred people appeared in the Three Gods Plaza.

"What's going on? How did I suddenly get out here?" "Hiss! Qing Yuzi's inheritance must have found a successor!" "Who is it? Profound Heaven Divine Venerable, or Zhao Xing?"

"Godly so? Don't you see that everyone who was moved here is from the Alliance? Where are the people from the Great Zhou?" "Oh no, am I going to die here?"

Everyone felt uneasy, but soon they saw a figure fly out of the Three Gods Temple.

"You are hereby detained by me and are not allowed to leave or go out. Your life or death is up to His Majesty." After Zhao Xing finished speaking, he took control of the dojo and imprisoned everyone in a barrier city next to it.

He will definitely release a group of people, but he can't just release them randomly. If he wants to release people, of course he has to have them redeem him.

These are all Agricultural Official; killing too many would be against the natural order. Zhao Xing figured Ji Che would probably agree to exchange these people for something. If he didn't agree to the ransom, it wouldn't be too late to recruit them or kill them later.

" Of Agricultural Official experts in the Profound Yellow World, not to mention wiping them all out, seven or eight tenths of them are here." Liu Tianning looked at the people below, all of whom were famous experts, but now they were all prisoners.

"If you can gain such privileges by passing the final test, then will Pu Ta and Su Xianzi also gain such privileges after passing their tests?" Liu Tianning asked. "Theoretically speaking, those two also have their own dojos, which allows them to kill the other competitors who are currently attempting the test," Zhao Xing said.

"What's the actual situation?" Liu Tianning asked.

"In reality, the ultimate inheritor would never oppose the Great Zhou," Zhao Xing said with a smile. "Teacher, let's go up first, and then you'll understand what I mean."

Flying out of the sea and arriving at the Ruler Palace, Zhao Xing saw Ji Si seemed to sense something.

"Zhao Xing, you're out? How did it go?"

"Lord Ji, don't ask me yet, tell me about the situation outside."

"In the fifty-three years you were gone, friction between the two sides became more and more frequent, but there were no major wars in general," Ji Si said. "As for the inheritance test, after the shamans of the Extraterritorial Alliance learned that I had set up the scheme, they shifted their focus to the inheritance of Pu Ta and Su Xianzi."

"Now, people from both of these lineages have entered the Second Stage."

"The test of passing on the Way of Mechanisms has more than 1,300 participants in the First Stage and only 65 in the Second Stage."

"The trial of the soul's path has more than three thousand participants in the First Stage, but only eight in the Second Stage."

Zhao Xing nodded slightly, noting that the differences in the levels of the Path of the Soul were even greater.

Although the workings of government agencies are complex, involve a great deal of calculation, and are very mentally taxing, as long as you study them diligently and for a long time, you will always make progress.

But the path of the soul is different; it either works or it doesn't.

Even though Zhao Xing and Heaven Derivation King had previously corrected the Derivation God Art, its learning difficulty would not change.

It can be said that among the three tests of inheritance, the path of the soul is the most difficult test.

"I'll gather everyone together and then report my findings to His Majesty," Zhao Xing said.

"Okay." Ji Si nodded.

However, he then hesitated, seemingly unsure whether he should speak.

"What is it, Lord Ji?"

"I wanted to ask if you have obtained any treasures from the Fate Officials?" Ji Si asked.

Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised; Fu Tianzun's talent in the Dao of Destiny was beyond his expectations.

Having obtained the [Star Fortune Strategy], I have indeed acquired the treasure of the Fate Officials.

But Ji Si certainly couldn't have foreseen this.

He couldn't possibly have calculated something of the level of a Boundary Soldier, so Ji Si's answer was based on intuition.

"Indeed, we'll talk about it later," Zhao Xing said with a smile. "Lord Ji will definitely be pleasantly surprised."

If we lend this to Ji Si, even if he can only grasp a little bit of its essence, he will benefit immensely.

Ji Si has great talent. Showing him his abilities might help this Fate Officials rise to a higher level.

Not long after they arrived, in a secret hall of the Ruler Palace, the images of the six chief officials— Wei Hong, Rahu King, Lu Ying, Tong Wensheng, and Liu Tianning— appeared in the Earth Realm.

A towering figure was soon projected onto the main seat; it was Ji Che.

After fifty-three years apart, Ji Che's demeanor had matured considerably.

The moment Ji Che saw Zhao Xing, a smile clearly appeared on his face, "Now that my brother has left, is there any good news to tell me?"

Zhao Xing cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have obtained the inheritance of Qing Yuzi. Just now, I detained all the inheritors who were not from the Great Zhou, and they are awaiting Your Majesty's judgment."

"What?" Lu Ying was immediately shocked. "They've all been imprisoned? Duke Zhao, you can control the underground Magic Array now?"

"Lord Lu, please mind your manners," Tong Wensheng immediately reminded him. "The Emperor hasn't even spoken yet, so why are you speaking up?"

Lu Ying immediately said, "Your Majesty, I have lost my composure."

Ji Che laughed and said, "Haha, it's alright. This is not a court assembly, but just an inner court meeting. Everyone can speak freely."

"Moreover, such a joyous occasion makes even me want to ask my brother how he managed to do it."

Tong Wensheng didn't say much. This matter was indeed too shocking. There were at least five hundred strong people from outside the Great Zhou in the Qing Yuzi inheritance trial.

Five hundred top-level Agricultural Official were all arrested by Zhao Xing?

This is incredible!

"After I received Qing Yuzi's inheritance, I was able to activate the Daoist Magic Array and summon the Establish Dao Dharma Body left behind by Qing Yuzi with the Purple God Token."

"Some of them have already been killed by me without my permission, such as the Profound Heaven Divine Venerable and the Hua Bao Celestial Lord of Eastern Ying. I beg Your Majesty to punish them."

Ji Che said nonchalantly, "These Extraterritorial Demonic Person and barbarian subjects, let them be killed. These forces have always harbored wolves' ambitions and have been plotting in secret for a long time. The treaty I made with them is nothing but a piece of waste paper."

Zhao Xing continued his report, "I obtained a legendary method for cultivating supernatural powers from Qing Yuzi, but it is an auxiliary spell for the Agricultural Official, and can only be used after reaching the Establish Dao Realm."

"Secondly, he left me many treasures..."

Zhao Xing then began to describe in detail his gains from the trip.

As Liu Tianning listened, he could hardly believe his ears. As the Grand Minister of Agriculture in charge of finances, he knew immediately that the value of these treasures was astronomical.

Qing Yuzi had amassed a great many treasures from the Profound Yellow World. Due to the long time that had passed, even those that were merely considered rare treasures before could now be considered peerless treasures. Liu Tianning, despite coming from an elite Noble Families, still felt somewhat unreal when he heard Zhao Xing's report.

"I never imagined that such precious materials could be measured by terms like a ship or a mountain." Liu Tianning found it all somewhat unbelievable. Tong Wensheng, as the head of the Ritual Cultivator, also found it hard to believe his ears.

"Duke Zhao, how much of that ' Wind Origin Divine Crystal ' did you just mention? A whole ship's worth?"

"Yes, a whole ship," Zhao Xing said with a slight smile. "We'll need a top-tier Ninth Order cargo ship to hold it all."

"We've struck it rich!" Lu Ying's eyes gleamed. With the national treasury full, he, as the Grand Craftsman Official, was naturally more efficient in his work. More than fifty years had passed since the construction of fortifications on the Western Extremity Glacier began, and the Works Department had been the largest expense among them. Liu Tianning, Wang Tianzhi, Ling Tianchen, and Zhao Xing were all absent, and Qiu Yuanshan had taken over as the person in charge of the Agriculture Official Hall.

What kind of personality does Qiu Yuanshan have? He's as steady as a dog.

Back then, when he fought in Dao Debate Tournament, he always waited until the very last move before engaging in combat.

When they first started fighting on the Western Extremity Glacier, he was extremely cautious, not wanting to take the Shennong Hoe out of the country. Lu Ying, who partnered with him, could be summed up in two words: stingy!

It's not that Qiu Yuanshan refused to provide funding, but he was extremely cautious, wanting to understand everything thoroughly. Of course, ultimately, it was because the expenses over the past fifty-odd years had been too great.

Qiu Yuanshan couldn't afford to be extravagant either.

Now that's great, Lu Ying feels he can finally unleash his full potential and make a big splash.

"Duke Zhao, your reply came just in time!" Lu Ying rubbed his hands together excitedly. Even the usually serious Rahu King couldn't stop smiling upon hearing the news.

Who wouldn't want to fight a war that brings them wealth?

However, facing the Extraterritorial Alliance, a coalition of numerous nations and top-tier forces, one must be extremely cautious. "In the past fifty-odd years of wars, large and small, our dynasty has won many victories, but the actual gains have been meager." "Now, finally, we have achieved significant gains, enough to make up for the losses."

War is inherently costly; fighting on the Western Extremity Ice Continent means losing money regardless of victory or defeat. Now, finally, we see a glimmer of hope!

And it was an eye-openingly abundant Bumper Harvest!

"Good, good!" Ji Che was also very happy. "I wish to bestow the title of Duke Zhao upon the Zhao King. Does anyone have any objections?" "I second that!" Lu Ying shouted.

"Your Majesty, I second that!" Rahu King and Liu Tianning also spoke up. "Your Majesty is wise!" Wei Hong bowed.

"I have no objection either." How could Prime Minister Tong Wensheng dare to object at this point, unless he wanted to resign! Ji Che said, "Good, Prime Minister Tong, go and prepare for this immediately."

"Yes."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Xing smiled as well.

After the meeting ended, the three figures in the main hall disappeared; Ji Che, Tong Wensheng, and Wei Hong were no longer in the Ruler Palace. Only Rahu King, Liu Tianning, Lu Ying, Zhao Xing, and Ji Si, who emerged from a side hall, remained in the hall.

Zhao Xing had already introduced three Big Treasure, among which the [Star Fortune Strategy] made Ji Si's eyes light up. With the gradual emergence of the Vitality Tide, all professions would be strengthened; this was already a foreseeable future. Currently, there were already quite a few true Rule Realm, such as Rahu King, who was already a true Super First-Rank cultivator. But the Destiny-related professions had stagnated; how could Ji Si bear this?

"Congratulations, Zhao King! Please accept my bow." Ji Si finished her bow and then stared longingly at Zhao Xing. His expression of wanting to speak but being too shy amused Rahu King, Lu Ying, and Liu Tianning.

"That's quite rare," Lu Ying couldn't help but laugh. "Zhao King, if you don't say something soon, Lord Ji's gaze is going to turn into a drool."

"Hahaha." Rahu King and Liu Tianning couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Lord Ji, here you go." Zhao Xing tossed the Star Fortune Strategy over.

Ji Si held the treasure with utmost care, trembling as she said, "Thank you so much, Zhao King, for bestowing this treasure upon me." Zhao Xing teased, "Just don't write me a thank-you letter; I can't afford it."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Seeing that Ji Si had gone down to settle down, King Luo Hou asked, "I heard that your Purple God Token can show the detailed situation of the trials. How are the trials of Pu Ta Inheritance and Su Xianzi Inheritance going?"

Zhao Xing took out the Purple God Token and handed it to Lu Ying: "It is most suitable for Lord Lu to use. In fact, I can summon the Establish Dao Dharma Body from below without using this Purple God Token."

"Good!" Lu Ying immediately took the Purple God Token and began to study it. With a wave of his hand, a Water Screen appeared in the air, showing the specific situation of the challenge in the ruins below. "Truly a divine object!" Lu Ying exclaimed in amazement.

Seeing Zhao Xing's expression, Liu Tianning couldn't help but ask, "Do you still want to go down and try to pass Su Xianzi's test?"

Zhao Xing nodded: "That's right. The third level of the Derivation God Art has been mastered by no one to this day. I think there is no place more suitable for cultivation than this place." "Although there are the rules set by Qing Yuzi and the other two, it is always safer for the inheritance to be in the hands of our own people than in the hands of others."

All three inheritances possess supernatural powers and secret techniques. Zhao Xing is not skilled in the art of mechanisms, but he is determined to try his luck with the inheritance of the soul path. If the Soul Secret Technique are exclusive, meaning that once someone inherits them, they cannot be shared with others, then it is naturally best for him to master them himself.

"Your progress in cultivating the Derivation God Art is the fastest, but there are already eight people on the Second Stage. You'd better hurry if you want to go." Rahu King looked at the screen above his head. "Teacher, are you going or not?" Zhao Xing asked. Before he appeared, Liu Tianning was the current dynasty's record holder for the fastest cultivation speed of the first level of the Derivation God Art.

Liu Tianning said, "You brought back so many treasures, and as the Grand Minister of Agriculture, I have to coordinate their operation. Now that you have obtained the inheritance of Qing Yuzi, it also means that a new round of preparations for war has begun, so I will not go down."
