Epoch House, Old Yun's Broken Composure, Who Exactly Are You?

"What?! Yun Tian Dao?!"

"The founder of the Ultimate Law, ' Yun Tian Dao '?"

"This, how is this possible? Yun Tian Dao is a figure from many years ago, are you kidding me?!" The words of the person behind the door stunned everyone except Zhao Xing.

In particular, Yun Ze, the dean of Cloud Institute, laughed out loud, "Hahaha, Your Excellency is really good at joking. Why don't you just say you are the Xia Emperor? Hahaha, Your Majesty, this person is too good at talking nonsense."

The Yun Tian Dao? That's utterly absurd!

Wang Tianzhi, Ling Tianchen, Kan Qing, Chen Yu, and others all shared the same idea.

Because Yun Tian Dao is not only one of the legendary founders of the Cloud Faction, but also the ancestor of the Yun Ze lineage. At the same time, he also claims to be the Grand Minister of Agriculture of the Xia Dynasty, which is even more absurd.

How many years has it been since the Xia Dynasty? How could anyone still be alive?! Therefore, my first reaction was disbelief.

Zhao Xing understood everyone's feelings, especially Yun Ze's.

This feeling is like walking down the street one day and suddenly someone claims to be Qin Shi Huang. A normal person's first reaction would be to suspect that he is a fraud.

However, Yun Tian Dao did not refute, but stood quietly behind the threshold, seemingly waiting for everyone to digest the information on their own.

As Yun Ze continued laughing, he glanced at Zhao Xing and Ji Che, then at the person behind the threshold, and his laughter gradually faded. "Grand Minister of Agriculture, Your Majesty... Could it be that this person is truly Yun Tian Dao? Is he... my ancestor?" Yun Ze asked telepathically.

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded.

Ji Che also quickly accepted this fact.

He knew a lot and learned a lot about the universe and worldview from Zhao Xing.

Since Qing Yuzi can live for hundreds of thousands of years, it's not surprising that Yun Tian Dao is also alive.

Since Qing Yuzi can live for decades, it's not surprising that Yun Tian Dao also live.

Consider the resurrection of Moon Bloom Daoist of the Profound Heaven Divine Sect; that was a figure who lived twenty or thirty years ago. While the Yun Tian Dao is even more ancient, it's not impossible for him to do the same.

Upon hearing this, Yun Ze and the other seven, including Wang Tianzhi, had strange expressions, but they quickly recovered. After a brief moment of shock, they accepted the fact, replaced by intense curiosity. "A living Yun Tian Dao? That's incredibly rare!" Wang Tianzhi's eyes narrowed.

He said he was the Grand Minister of Agriculture of the Xia Dynasty? Could it be that the Ancient God dynasties did not ascend to immortality, and the records are wrong? Ling Tianchen pondered.

"Could you complete some spells and secret techniques?" Lu Xia asked.

"Definitely!" Qing's eyes lit up, filled with curiosity. "If it really is Yun Tian Dao, he must know many secrets."

"Your Majesty, Grand Minister of Agriculture, if we can capture him, bring him out, interrogate him, and question him, will we be able to obtain the secret to longevity?" Yun Ze's gaze also swept over Yun Dadao.

Zhao Xing: "" Ji Che: ""

"Cloud Institute, that's your ancestor!" Vice Dean Xiao Yun couldn't help but say. It's one thing for others to say that, but Yun Ze is someone else's descendant!

Yun Ze said, "What's the point of ancestors? They were people from an entire era ago, separated by so many generations. What's the difference between them and strangers?"

Ji Che glanced at Zhao Xing. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Aside from Wang and Ling, most of the deans and deputy deans were handpicked by him. As the saying goes, what the Grand Minister of Agriculture do, the Zhao Xing follow. Therefore, the entire Agricultural Supervisorate is entirely pragmatic.

In Yun Ze, ancestors are categorized into useful ancestors and useless ancestors.

What if this ancestor is harmful? They might have to say, "Please, Old Ancestor, die!" The exchange of whispers happened in an instant.

Yun Guandao didn't have to wait long before Ji Che signaled Zhao Xing to ask questions, since he was the one who knew this place best.

Zhao Xing immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting. "My name is Zhao Xing, the Grand Minister of Agriculture of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Standing before you is Emperor Ji Che of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Behind me are the Grand Ministers of Agriculture of the Heavenly Timing Faction, Dean Ling Tianchen of the Houbian Faction, and Dean Wang Tianzhi of the Thunder Academy."

After a brief self-introduction, a voice came from behind the threshold. "Zhao Xing, I know you. Lingdie once mentioned to me that you received Qing Yuzi's inheritance."

"I'm puzzled. You seemed to know a lot of things back then, even the Ruins of Return and my existence, before you even received the inheritance."

Zhao Xing did not explain, but calmly said, "Senior Yun has it, and so do we. Why don't we answer each other's questions, starting with His Majesty?"

In truth, Zhao Xing had no doubts at all; his main concern was to make sure Ji Che and the others understood clearly. Yun Tian Dao nodded, agreeing to the exchange terms.

Zhao Xing glanced at Ji Che, who immediately asked, "Senior, did the Xia Dynasty ascend and successfully leave the Profound Yellow World?"

Ji Che's biggest concern was ascension.

Both the Book of Great Fate and the Records of the Guest People state that the Ancient God dynasty of Xia had already ascended to heaven.

However, the appearance of Yun Tian Dao, the Grand Minister of Agriculture, here puzzled Ji Che. Had the Xia Dynasty ascended to heaven or not?

"They ascended, but it wasn't smooth." After waiting for a while, Yun Tian Dao's voice came from behind the threshold. Although they were face to face, Yun Tiandao neither invited them in nor came out.

There seemed to be an invisible barrier separating the two worlds, with the courtyard threshold as a divider.

"The Xia Dynasty had already suffered heavy losses after defeating the Southern Barbarians."

"The spiritual rain is nearing its end. In order to seize the window of opportunity to leave the Profound Yellow World, we can only hastily build a half-finished Realm Boat to prepare for departure."

Thanks to Zhao Xing's explanation of the universe, they could understand what Yun Guandao was saying. For example, the rainy season of spiritual energy was the reason for the revival, and the Realm Boat was a tool for leaving the Profound Yellow World after undergoing tribulation.

Of course, without having truly experienced it, merely being able to understand it doesn't necessarily mean having a deep understanding. "Senior, please ask." Ji Che extended his hand.

"How did you know about this road?" Yun Tian Dao asked. Ji Che immediately turned his gaze to Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing replied, "I once obtained a Realm Star Destiny Weapon from Qing Yuzi. When the Fate Officials of this dynasty was making predictions about the future, he inadvertently saw this passage."

The path to the Ancient Marsh Grotto-Heaven leads to the Ruins of Return. It was originally a secret passage left by the Yun Tian Dao to the Cloud Institute. The method for building the Cloud Sea Flying Boat also corresponds to this passage.

Finding this clue was originally extremely difficult; players from the previous era would have needed to complete dozens of prerequisite quests in the Spiritual Energy Era to learn this secret.

But Zhao Xing didn't need to go through all that trouble. He skipped all the tasks and went straight to the location and the accessible tools.

Seeing Yun Tian Dao nod, Ji Che began to ask the second question, "Since Senior Yun was the Grand Minister of Agriculture of the Xia Dynasty, why didn't you ascend with him, but instead remained in the Ruins of Return?"

Yun Tian Dao, "Because it's necessary."

"The Four Seas Return to Ruins, and spiritual energy flows from the Jiang He into the sea, then gathers from the ocean to the Ruins of Return."

"It is as if the Vitality Tide will eventually converge in the Central Divine Continent, and the Ruins of Return is the convergence point of spiritual energy."

"Someone needs to stay here to collect and preserve the spiritual energy during the Vital Energy Era. Otherwise, it will dissipate beyond the realm."

"Such dissipation may not be obvious within a year or two, but when viewed on a cosmic scale, it becomes a terrifying loss."

If no one is left to guard this place, then later dynasties will never again experience a Spiritual Energy Revival, nor will they ever be able to achieve ascension.

After completing the final stage of its campaign against the barbarians, the Xia Dynasty had already suffered heavy losses.

In other words, only if I, the Grand Minister of Agriculture, remain can I collect the returning spiritual energy and prevent it from dissipating." Upon hearing this, Ji Che was filled with reverence, and the seven Agricultural Official behind him also abandoned their previous disdain. Everyone turned towards him...

Zhu Yun Tian Dao.

After Ji Che finished asking, it was Yun Tian Dao's turn. "What is the current spiritual energy index?"

The question was simple, and Zhao Xing immediately answered, "In the sixty-seventh year of Great Zhou Profound Yellow Calendar 4418, and the seventy-fifth year of the Yuanshuo Era Great Zhou Calendar Dynasty, the Merchant Spirit Instrument, an instrument that can detect spiritual energy, was created."

"From the 75th year of Yuanshuo Era to the 95th year of Yuanshuo Era, the average spiritual energy index over the last 20 years was 1.2, and this year it barely reached 1.3."

Yun Tian Dao frowned, then shook his head. "You've come too early. The true Spiritual Energy Era has not yet arrived. Your generation cannot complete the Ascension Plan, at least not one that you, the emperor, can accomplish."

"There's no need to ask anymore, Spirit Butterfly, see the guests out." Yun Tian Dao's words caused Wang Tianzhi and the others to frown. Only Zhao Xing and Ji Che were unsurprised.

Because Zhao Xing had already told Ji Che about this.

Yun Tian Dao turned to leave from the main gate with some disappointment, but Zhao Xing called out to him, "Senior, wait! Please hear me out."

If it were someone else who spoke, Yun Tian Dao wouldn't listen to reason at all.

He'd lived so long; everything was fleeting, and whether you were an emperor or someone else, nothing could affect him. However, he still had some interest in Zhao Xing.

In Yun Tian Dao's eyes, Zhao Xing, having obtained the inheritance of Qing Yuzi, would surely live to be over a thousand years old, and for a very, very long time. Others might be able to break the thousand-year lifespan barrier, but that would be just the right amount, and an extra one or two hundred years would be the maximum.

As emperor, Ji Che might even live shorter than his subjects, because he is the emperor of the Dynasty of Fate.

Seeing that Yunda had stopped, Zhao Xing quickly stepped forward and said, "Senior, the spiritual energy index doesn't prove anything. Our generation has a chance to ascend."

Yun Tian Dao shook his head. "The spiritual energy index is too low. In the universe, anything below 1 is considered a barren territory, and 1.3 is only slightly better than Desolate Territory."

Zhao Xing, you should know you can't fool me.

Zhao Xing nodded. "Yes, Senior Yun. You've talked with Qing Yuzi and have some understanding of the universe, so I can't deny it. The spiritual energy index is indeed too low."

"But anything is possible with human intervention. What if the Agricultural Official were to initiate a Spiritual Energy Revival?"

"Senior possesses the spiritual energy accumulated over an entire era within the Profound Yellow World. I also have a large amount of accumulated spiritual energy."

Based on this, we can preemptively disrupt the cosmic Heavenly Timing outside the Profound Yellow World, causing the spring rains of revival to arrive earlier. Afterwards, we can restore order and revert to our original state, thus seizing the credit for our efforts!

Zhao Xing's purpose in coming to the Ruins of Return was to take away the spiritual energy in Yun Tian Dao's hands. Without the spiritual energy in Yun Tian Dao's hands, it would be impossible to complete the manual Spiritual Energy Revival.

He presented his idea to Yun Tian Dao, but Yun Tian Dao shook his head.

"I've talked to more than just Qing Yuzi," Yun Tian Dao recalled. "When he came to the Ruins of Return, we discussed the Dao for a long time. He also proposed this idea back then. I rejected him and only gave him an ice-sealed coffin."

Upon hearing the conversation between Yun Guandao and Zhao Xing, Wang Guanzhi and Ling Guanchen suddenly realized what was happening.

No wonder Spirit Butterfly Fairy was able to consistently rank in the top tier during the Second Stage, "Gu Lu Star".

So Yun Tian Dao and Qing Yuzi knew each other! Actually, Zhao Xing was just guessing. Because Qing Yuzi didn't mention Yun Tian Dao in his inheritance.

However, Spirit Butterfly Fairy's performance on Gu Lu Star exceeded expectations; she even learned about the core life structure of the Tian Gu Beast.

In addition, among the items inherited by Qing Yuzi, there is a Major Cold Ice Sealing Coffin, which contains techniques from the Profound Heaven Divine Sect.

All indications suggest that Yun Tian Dao and Qing Yuzi had some interaction. Yun Tian Dao couldn't leave the Ruins of Return, but Qing Yuzi could.

As a powerful being at the Source Origin Realm, Qing Yuzi would definitely come and take a look once he discovered the Ruins of Return.

For some reason, neither of them mentioned the other, and Zhao Xing had never heard of Qing Yuzi's existence from Yun Tian Dao in his previous life.

Was it because Yun Dadao didn't agree to Qing Yuzi's request back then? Or was it some kind of restriction on the Land of Return? In any case, Zhao Xing had to persuade Yun Tian Dao; he didn't want to wait another two thousand years.

"The era in which Qing Yuzi lived was precisely the time after the Xia Dynasty ascended to heaven, a time when the spiritual energy of the Profound Yellow World was most severely depleted," Zhao Xing began to persuade.

He drew a horizontal and a vertical line in the air with his fingers, forming a coordinate axis, and then a curve moved along the axis. Looking at the alternation of spiritual energy and Vital Energy Era in the Profound Yellow World, the cyclical change curve generally follows this pattern.

"From the time Qing Yuzi was born until his death, his spiritual energy index never exceeded 1, and it was even impossible for it to exceed 0.8."

"Even with his immense strength, exceptional insight, and knowledge that transcends the Profound Yellow World, he could not possibly complete the manual revival plan."

"His attempt to ascend the Yu Dynasty to immortality was destined to fail."

Yun Tian Dao nodded slightly; he had also advised Qing Yuzi to give up back then.

Zhao Xing continued, "But things are different now. The spiritual energy index has exceeded 1.3. The curve is now beginning to form a peak. Although it is still at the foot of the mountain, it will definitely reach above 2 in the next five hundred years and operate stably in the range of 2 to 3."

Yun Dadao countered, "The spiritual energy I possess can only increase this value by 1 at most. Even if I gave it to you, how would you make it reach 5 or higher?"

A spiritual energy index of 5 is the basic threshold for ascension. If it is below 5, the revival has failed, and it will be impossible to enter the Spiritual Energy Era. Yun Tian Dao obviously knew these basic conditions, but he overlooked a few points.

Zhao Xing continued, "Senior has 1, Witch Moon God has 0.5, and the Ruins of Return and the Southern Barbarian Holy Mountain are only counted as this number. Does Senior agree?"

Yun Tian Dao pondered for a moment and nodded, "I said that the Ruins of Return is at most 1, but you calculated it to be slightly less than Witch Moon God. However, the total of 1.5 is reasonable, and I agree."

Zhao Xing randomly pointed, and the light spot representing the movement of the spiritual energy curve suddenly rose to a value of 4.5.

Alright, now we have 4.5. Senior, do you know about the Dragon Court? Before Yun Dadao could answer, Zhao Xing continued, "The Dragon Court was the first to discover the characteristics of the Ruins of Return. The Dragon God and successive Dragon Emperors set up the Dragon Court Ancient Land in the East Sea to intercept a portion of the spiritual energy."

"Including the 'Guardian Duties' of the Ruins of Return." "Now, I have become the Dragon Emperor."

"Is the spiritual energy of the Dragon Court Ancient Land calculated as 0.5? Senior, do you think that's excessive?"

Yun Dadao immediately fell into deep thought. Seeing this, Zhao Xing added fuel to the fire.

He displayed a formula for calculating the spiritual energy of the universe in the air, and then said, "Everyone can calculate it. This is a purely mathematical calculation, that is, a conversion formula for spiritual energy particles in the production of spiritual liquid and spiritual stones. It does not involve the way of destiny prediction."

"This is based on the perception of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the summary of the changes in the strength and weakness of the Zhou Dynasty. Agricultural Official cultivates the Yin Yang True Self Scripture and can sense the Five Elements Particles. When the Rule Realm covers a region of heaven and earth, one can detect the total amount of spiritual energy through perception."

Spiritual energy can certainly be quantified; it can even be measured using the simplest units of weight, as evidenced by spiritual liquid and spiritual crystals. Zhao Xing then took out a device from his storage bag. "This is a device for reversing primordial energy into spiritual energy."

"Verifying my formula is very simple; you can ask Spirit Butterfly Fairy to try it out, senior." The main purpose of the inverter device is not to collect spiritual energy, but to convince Yun Tian Dao that the cost of manufacturing it is too high and the conversion efficiency is too slow.

Zhao Xing estimated that even if the entire fiscal revenue of the Great Zhou were used to create it, the conversion of primordial energy into spiritual energy within a thousand years would not result in an increase of 0.05.

Moreover, Zhao Xing couldn't possibly wait a thousand years, because the peak wouldn't last long, and the window of opportunity for ascension was destined to be very short.

While inverters are useful for personal cultivation, their role in reviving a world is too small.

Therefore, its main purpose was to persuade Yun Guandao.

When this hourglass-like device appeared, and Spirit Butterfly Fairy herself tried it out, completing a transformation process,

A strange glint appeared in Yun Tian Dao's eyes. He hadn't expected Zhao Xing to have created such a divine artifact. This made him even more curious about Zhao Xing, so Yun Tiandao returned to the doorway.

With Zhao Xing's formula proven to be feasible, the entire plan also became feasible.

Yun Tian Dao finally began to consider Zhao Xing's proposal. However, there were still problems to be solved.

"The Dragon Court Ancient Land has 0.5 spiritual energy. With your addition, it seems barely enough." "But you can't actually calculate it like that."

"Firstly, the spiritual energy in the hands of the Witch Moon God cannot be easily handed over to you. To obtain it, you must defeat the Witch Moon God. How can you prove that the Great Zhou has the strength to conquer the Southern Barbarians?"

"Secondly, even if we can gather enough spiritual energy to reach a total of 5 and summon clouds from the universe to bring rain, there is still a risk of failure."

"Human strength has its limits. Your calculations may not perfectly match how things develop. They're only close to 5. If there's even the slightest error, this matter will be at great risk."

After addressing the two questions, Yun Dadao stated his position. "In addition, I need to clarify a few things."

"First, I have survived for nearly an era in the Epoch House in the Ruins of Return." "This is a special place, or rather, a place of Daoist warfare."

"It must have come from the universe, brought back by some powerful being. But its specific historical origin is no longer traceable."

"The Epoch House can only allow people inside to survive for a limit of one epoch, or 1.2 million years, freezing my personal lifespan and ignoring the lifespan limits of the Realm Star or the Profound Yellow World."

"However, once I leave, I must complete my ascension in a short period of time, otherwise I will be devoured by the origin of the Profound Yellow World. This short period of time is only about one hundred and twenty years."

"Secondly, although I am willing to stay in the Profound Yellow World and do something for future dynasties, it does not mean that I am just a tool for collecting spiritual energy."

"I have my own needs. I need to ascend into the universe with the new dynasty to find the Xia Dynasty and my relatives and friends." After saying this, Yun Tian Dao looked into Zhao Xing's eyes:

So why should I take this risk to help your generation take off, instead of waiting another year or two, when the odds are much better?

Upon hearing Yun Tian Dao's question and statement, the Great Zhou side fell into a brief silence.

Yes, Yun Dadao may have a fearless, sacrificial spirit, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to live or be free.

Zhao Xing can take the risk. If he fails, he can hide in the Major Cold Ice Sealing Coffin and continue to wait for the true Spiritual Energy Era to arrive.

But Yun Tian Dao, regardless of success or failure, only has one hundred and twenty years. If he remains in the Profound Yellow World when that time is up, he will surely die.

He didn't live this long through his own abilities, but rather because there was an Epoch House in the Ruins of Return that temporarily froze his lifespan, during which time he couldn't leave.

To leave, one must fly away and depart from the Profound Yellow World; otherwise, this method of stealing life's destiny will suffer a severe backlash.

According to the normal rhythm, the Spiritual Energy Era of the previous life began 1500 years after Wu Emperor's death, when the spiritual energy index reached 5. After that, a new dynasty emerged, which took about 800 years to complete unification and conquer the Southern Barbarians.

It was around that time that Yun Guan Dao emerged, witnessing the rise of a new dynasty! To be honest, Zhao Xing was very familiar with Yun Tian Dao.

Because that new dynasty was established by the players, Zhao Xing and Yun Tian Dao, as the first batch of ascended players, had a good relationship during the universe version.

Yun Dadao was a genius of unparalleled talent, a figure of unparalleled brilliance in the Xia Dynasty, whose willpower was stronger than anyone could imagine.

The time spent Epoch House is not a continuous slumber, but rather a period of time during which one must wake up and collect the spiritual energy of the Ruins of Return, otherwise the spiritual energy of the Ruins of Return will dissipate.

The ratio of time spent awake to time spent asleep is approximately 1 to 2, which means that Yun Tian Dao will be awake for at least 40 years within this era!

If I could just fall asleep, that wouldn't be so bad, but to stay awake for such a long time... unable to go out, no one to talk to, utterly devoid of joy, and unable to cultivate and become stronger... the test of willpower I have to endure is unimaginable.

Under the circumstances at the time, the Xia dynasty was about to depart.

Yun Tian Dao is about to become stronger, gain a longer lifespan, and be able to see a wider universe and experience a wonderful life.

But he chose to accept 120 years of solitude, becoming a lonely guardian of the Profound Yellow World.

Thinking about it carefully, the lifespan of a subject at that time was only eight hundred years. Even if the Xia Dynasty met the conditions for ascension, Yun Tian Dao's understanding of lifespan at that time was only a few thousand years.

In an era where the average lifespan is hundreds of years, to face millions of years of solitude—what immense courage and what unwavering will that requires!

Therefore, if Zhao Xing cannot solve Yun Guandao's problem, he cannot solve his own. What does Yun Tian Dao want? Ascension, finding his family, and finding the Xia Dynasty. This is his unwavering and steadfast belief.

Convincing Yun Dadao to take the risk will not be easy for Zhao Xing. There are many problems, and he can only deal with them one by one.

First, Ji Che answered Yun Dadao's question, "I was born to Essence Gathering Yuan energy. At the age of three, I connected with the Spirit Bridge of the earth. At the age of five, I had already completed the training of the Earthly Fiend. At the age of seven, I entered the Heavenly Gang. At the age of fourteen, I had already crossed the Pure Yuan Realm and the Yuan Soul Realm, reaching the point where my Essence Soul Leaving the Body."

"At this time, I was still a prince and had not yet inherited my father's legacy."

"Afterwards, my father confirmed me as the crown prince, and I reached the Fate Palace Realm in less than a hundred years."

"It has been 215 years since I ascended to the Supreme Realm, and I have already entered the Establish Dao Realm," Ji Che recounted. "The number of first-rank experts in the Great Zhou exceeds 200,000, and the number of experts in the Rule Realm has exceeded 300 (Ji Che included the experts who submitted to the Dragon Court here)."

"The Great Zhou has expanded to its nineteenth state, its power extending to the Four Seas and eight wastelands. Looking around, apart from the Four Great Royal Courts ruled by the Southern Barbarian Witch Moon God, the Great Zhou has no rivals."

Ji Che, radiating confidence from the light, looked towards the Cloud Avenue.

During the Yuan Hunting Era era, I announced the matter of ascension to heaven to the highest realms, intending for the entire nation to embark on this journey!

"I have Zhao Xing as Grand Minister of Agriculture, Luo King as Grand Commandant, and I have also obtained the remnants of extraterrestrial visitors from the Western Extreme Province and the treasures of the Dragon Court Ancient Land. I will use the Cloud Dream Academy to enlighten the people and practice the way of the sage king."

"Yun Tian Dao, how does my Great Zhou compare to the Xia Dynasty of the Xia Emperor?"

Yun Tian Dao cupped his hands in greeting. "Objectively speaking, the strength of the Great Zhou is already greater than that of the Xia Dynasty."

He didn't compare the Xia Emperor to Ji Che, and Ji Che didn't ask either. After all, he was a subject of Xia, not Zhou. Getting such an answer was enough for him.

Ji Che: "Let's return to the Southern Barbarians. As for the Four Great Royal Courts, I'll only mention one thing. That is, the Purple Dragon God, one of the Four Gods, was recently slain by the Grand Minister of Agriculture."

"From now on, the Southern Barbarians will no longer have the Purple Dragon God totem!" Yun Tian Dao couldn't help but glance at Zhao Xing again.

Because it would be very easy for him to verify these things, it's impossible for Ji Che and his group to say that...

It was somewhat unexpected that Zhao Xing, as the Grand Minister of Agriculture, possessed such combat power, after all, he was the totem god of the Purple Dragon Royal Court!

As soon as Ji Che finished speaking, the seven Agricultural Official behind him stepped forward immediately.

I, Ling Dachen, am the Lesser Agriculture Decree of the Great Zhou and the Dean of the Houbian Institute Academy of the Mystic Heaven Academy. I humbly request Senior Yun to come out of seclusion. I am willing to succeed Senior Yun in his position and become the new guardian.

I, Wang Tianzhi, am the Lesser Agriculture Decree of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Dean of the Thunder Institute of the Mystic Heaven Academy. I humbly request Senior Yun to come out of seclusion. I am willing to succeed Senior Yun in his position and become the new Guardian.

I, Yun Ze, am the Lesser Agriculture Decree of the Great Zhou and the Dean of the Cloud Institute at the Mystic Heaven Academy. I humbly request that Ancestor Yun be brought out of seclusion, and I am willing to succeed him as the new guardian.

"I, Qing, am the Lesser Agriculture Decree of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and serve at the Xuan Guan Academy..." "I, Chen Yu, am the Grand Granary Magistrate of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"I am Lu Xia." "I am Xiao Yun."

If Ji Che was presenting facts and reasoning, then the seven Agricultural Official were playing the emotional card. Zhao Xing, on the other hand, remained silent, knowing it would be futile.

Who is Yun Tian Dao? He cares about the Xia Dynasty Peace Marriage in the universe. How could he abandon his principles and accompany a group of strangers on an adventure just because of a few words?

Seeing the atmosphere reach a stalemate, Zhao Xing stepped forward, "There's no other way but to use cheats."

"Yun Guandao remains unmoved and cannot be persuaded with just a few words. We must make him believe that this is the last chance."

Having made up his mind, Zhao Xing and Ji Che had a private chat. "Che, I need you and the others to leave for a while. There are some things I can't tell everyone because of the Fate Soul Oath, but Yun Tian Dao and Qing Yuzi are friends and already know about these things, so I can only talk to him alone."

Ji Che nodded, then turned to the spirit butterfly beside him and said, "Please lead us to a quiet place, fairy."

Everyone else left, but Zhao Xing remained. Yun Tian Dao understood the implication and waited quietly. This was a private conversation between the two Grand Minister of Agriculture.

"Senior Yun, this is the last chance." Zhao Xing unleashed his ultimate move right from the start.

"To ascend in the Profound Yellow World, the external factor lies in the Great Spring Era of the universe, while the internal factor is a unified Dynasty of Fate." "Having observed the Profound Yellow World for so many years, you should know that the total amount of spiritual energy is continuously decreasing."

"From the cyclical changes in strength and weakness, we can see that the time for each recovery is getting shorter and shorter, and the total amount of spiritual energy obtained each time is also getting less and less, which also means that the window of opportunity is getting shorter and shorter."

"Your previous guardian probably didn't wait for a full era, but you waited until you were close to the limit of the Epoch House. This is enough to prove it."

Because previous dynasties always took away spiritual energy, the waiting time became increasingly longer.

"After this, the Profound Yellow World will no longer experience the rain of Spiritual Energy Revival, and the balance will be completely broken. The location of the Profound Yellow World will also become Desolate Territory in the universe."

"In other words, it will inevitably perish." I think you understand this better than anyone else.

Yun Tian Dao looked at Zhao Xing, then nodded slightly. "Yes, I know."

Psylocke has been observing the Great Zhou for a long time; she even attended your Daoist discourse conference.

"This is the last chance for ascension in the Profound Yellow World. This is also my only opportunity to find my family and the Xia Dynasty, my final chance."

Zhao Xing nodded. "If you continue to wait, there are also huge risks involved."

"Perhaps things will go as predicted. You will receive the rain more than two thousand years later, but you will not receive a powerful dynasty. Or perhaps, something will happen to the rain, and you will still not be able to ascend."

"I am now giving you a great deal of certainty." Zhao Xing pointed to the coordinate curve moving in the sky. "The Agricultural Official is vying with the Earth."

The Tian Shi faction's Sima Nong never waits for the opportune moment to arrive; instead, they actively strive for it!

Are you going to sit and wait to die, or are you going to join us in changing things?" Slap! Slap! Slap!

Suddenly, applause broke out, and Zhao Xing looked at Yun Tian Dao who was clapping.

The other party smiled and said, "Zhao Xing, you truly deserve to be called the Grand Minister of Agriculture, capable of hosting a grand discussion and captivating millions of people."

"You're the first person in all these years to have moved me with your words."

Zhao Xing looked at Yun Tian Dao, who was standing with his hands behind his back, and silently retracted the curve running in the air. Damn it, he still couldn't be persuaded!

Indeed, Yun Guandao has observed the Profound Yellow World for nearly an epoch. Even if he has been asleep for eighty thousand years, it would still take him nearly four hundred thousand years to awaken.

Forty years have Vast Sea so much!

How steadfast must one's mind be to cultivate the Great Dao?

Perhaps some have said things that were even more persuasive than Zhao Xing's, but the Cloud Path remains here.

"He won't give up until he sees the Yellow River; Yun Tian Dao won't leave his house until he sees that rain," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "He's really hard to convince."

Yun Dadao smiled and said, "Zhao Xing, this isn't the first time I've heard of your plan. Do you think I don't know that the Minister of Agriculture of the Heavenly Timing Faction is vying for the advantage of Heavenly Timing?"

"However, it is extremely difficult for the Agricultural Official to reverse the celestial Heavenly Timing of the universe." "If I fail, I will lose my life, and that's that."

"But my duty to watch over them will have been a complete failure." "Even if you succeed, what then?"

"Restoring the order of the four seasons is not perfect."

"Even in a single county or prefecture, after defying the Heavenly Timing, it's impossible to say that it won't have the slightest negative impact on this land."

"I protect the beings of the Profound Yellow World, giving them a chance to ascend, and I also protect the Profound Yellow World itself."

"By reversing the celestial Heavenly Timing in the cosmic region outside the Profound Yellow World, won't you be ruining the Profound Yellow World's next chance for Spiritual Energy Revival?" "Assuming we are both wrong, and that rain arrives as scheduled, surging and abundant, wouldn't I be harming future generations and the Xuanhuang Realm?"

"This world, my hometown?"

Zhao Xing remained silent.

Yun Tian Dao has been a guardian for nearly an era. He has observed the Profound Yellow World and the Heavenly Timing of the universe, and has developed strong feelings for the Profound Yellow World and the beings within it.

In other words, this person has great love!

Back in the Xia Dynasty, was it really impossible to cultivate a successor to the Watcher?

No, it was Yun Tian Dao who voluntarily took on this responsibility. For an entire era, this responsibility had been strengthened within him.

From another perspective, if Yun Tian Dao hadn't strengthened his sense of responsibility in this way, he wouldn't have been able to sustain it for so long. But his unwavering determination made Zhao Xing very uncomfortable.

"Old Yun, although True Self, and you're a good person, I have to break down your defenses now. Only then might I be able to persuade you," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Seeing Zhao Xing fall silent, Yun Tian Dao assumed he was about to give up and instead tried to comfort Zhao Xing. "Zhao Xing, you can hold on until that rain comes."

"You possess the Major Cold Ice Sealing Coffin. Except for your emperor, whom you cannot protect, you can ensure that everyone else lives until that day arrives."

I'm willing to give you the crafting recipe for the Major Cold Ice Sealing Coffin, and I'll also help you break through to the Dao Establishment stage during this tide, free of charge.

"This is something even your emperor couldn't achieve."

I have a feeling that we are very familiar with each other, as if we met in a past life, and I also believe that we can become like-minded friends...

"Brother Yun," Zhao Xing suddenly smiled, "Believe it or not, I really am your brother, and I know you very well."

"Oh?" Yun Da raised an eyebrow.

You probably don't believe me, so let me prove it to you."Zhao Xing began to write and draw in the air.

Yun Dadao's eyelids suddenly twitched, and his expression changed slightly. This was because Zhao Xing had conjured up a three-dimensional portrait.

The first character to appear was Yun Dadao's wife, his Dao Companion, "Rainbow Wind Fairy." Her lifelike appearance was so realistic that it seemed as if she were truly alive, and even her temperament was perfectly imitated!

"Stop playing tricks." Yun Tian Dao seemed a little angry. "I don't know where you got the portrait, but..."

But before the rest of the words could be spoken, Yun Tian Dao's eyes widened, because Zhao Xing immediately proceeded to draw his Senior Brother, his teacher, the Xia Emperor, and his former good friends...

If Zhao Xing were to draw a person, it could be said to be by chance, as he obtained information about that era. But now that Zhao Xing has drawn his entire network of relationships, that's very abnormal!

"In the 158th year of the Great Xia's Mountains and Seas Era, they fell in love at the Mirror Lake Courtyard, and the token of their love was the Yu Qingyi." "In the 292nd year of the Great Xia's Mountains and Seas Era, the ' Yun Tian Dao ' was comprehended at the Guanshan Daoist Grounds."

"In the nineteenth year of the Changyi the Great Xia, your battle with ' Wang Manyong ' was the battle you remember most vividly." (Great Xia)

Seeing that Yun Dadao's emotions were visibly agitated, Zhao Xing stopped and asked, "Yun Yuan, do I need to continue?"

"Who... who are you?!" Yun Dadao was completely flustered. Although he quickly suppressed the shock in his heart, his tone betrayed his true feelings.

"Come out, and I'll tell you after we fly away," Zhao Xing said in a familiar and natural tone. Yun Tian Dao fell silent for a moment. "Since you know me so well, why are you forcing me like this?"

Zhao Xing said seriously, "Brother Yun, your will is too firm. I know your character; otherwise, you would absolutely not have agreed."

They should have left the mountain earlier.

"Yes, I can survive in the Major Cold Ice Sealing Coffin, but the future may not be the best of times. And there are many people I care about who won't be able to live to see that time in the ice coffin."

"Trust me, I would never harm you. This chance to ascend is absolutely guaranteed if you join!" "Didn't you want to find Xia Dynasty and your family?"

"Do you know why they haven't returned to find you even after nearly an epoch? You've waited so many years, don't you want to know what happened?"

"It's not that they didn't want to come, but that they were held back by something."

"As long as you agree to come out, I'll tell you that you will absolutely not regret this choice. If you had gone to find them two thousand years earlier, the outcome would have been completely different..."

Metaphor

Before Zhao Xing could finish speaking, a figure emerged from behind the threshold, as if a spiderweb had been broken through in front of him.

The next moment, the figure appeared in front of Zhao Xing. The Divine Might Colonel had something to say.

The writer's sleep schedule gets messed up, creating a vicious cycle; it's just too difficult.

(There's more to come!)
