The panel rippled like Water Screen, appearing before Zhao Xing in a brand new form.

Name: Zhao Xing

Occupation: Agricultural Official

[Qi Yun: Yan Jiu]

[Physical Body: Mid- Ascension Realm]

[Divine Soul: Ascension Realm Perfection]

[Dojo: Level 3, Realm Star]

Age: 992

[Remaining lifespan: 7008 years]

"So my physical body is still in the mid-stage of the Ascension Realm?" Zhao Xing looked at the new panel and suddenly realized.

After reaching the Ascension Realm, due to a lack of cultivation methods, he, like everyone else in the Great Zhou, no longer knew how to cultivate further.

I also felt that my body could no longer grow bigger or stronger, and that it had stopped growing after reaching a certain level.

However, after arriving in the Xuanling Star Domain, this feeling of 'growth' reappeared, because the spiritual energy index suddenly increased.

Even if you don't know how to cultivate, being in such a rich spiritual environment will allow you to slowly continue to grow.

His Divine Soul realm had long since reached the peak of the Ascension Realm.

"A dojo is an important indicator of one's magical path."

"It is the level of control over the source of spiritual energy, which is transformed from the original domain of rules, and usually means the range of spells."

The First Tier of the Realm Star proves that the casting range of a spell path can reach the size of a Realm Star or a small world.

For example, in the Profound Yellow World, Zhao Xing threw out the Kun Yuan Hoe and made a grand vow to establish the Dao, which could radiate to most of the Profound Yellow World.

"Realm Star and small worlds also have differences in size and strength."

"Level three of the Realm Star, proving the strength of my comprehension of the Dao. Spells can be effective on lower-level Realm Star, covering an area..."

"That's enough to be fully deployed in lower- Realm Star," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

If it's the path of a martial artist, then what's displayed isn't a "dojo" but a "Golden Body".

Reaching the third Realm Star the Golden Body usually means being able to ignore the pressure of lower- Realm Star Realm Star fully unleash the full potential of one's Golden Body, thus maximizing one's power.

"When a third-tier Realm Star dojo enters a mid-tier Realm Star, its coverage area will be greatly reduced. If a third-tier Realm Star Golden Body was originally ten thousand feet Golden Body, it will be suppressed to below ten thousand feet when entering a mid-tier Realm Star, and its power will also be weakened."

"I am 992 years old, and I have lived for nearly a thousand years. However, I have spent half of that time in the Realm Boat."

"Remaining lifespan is 7008, huh? It's changed again." Zhao Xing noticed that as he breathed in the spiritual energy here, the remaining lifespan value jumped to 7009.

"It's truly celestial energy; one breath and you're given a year's worth of energy," Zhao Xing chuckled.

How important is the territory for survival? This can be fully demonstrated by lifespan.

They are now in the heart of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom. As long as they can settle down, even without cultivating, they can easily live for several thousand more years in the Ascension Realm.

No wonder those powerful people want to flock to the ancient kingdom; everyone wants to gain more life!

It's no wonder that the ancient kingdom strictly controls the influx of people. If too many people are allowed in, the spiritual energy index of the star system will eventually drop. Wouldn't that mean that the influx of people would steal their lifespan?

"The struggle for living space is truly a matter of life and death," Zhao Xing couldn't help but sigh.

He continued looking down, and the spells displayed on the panel had changed a lot.

The name of the Ultimate Law has also changed, becoming the Heavenly Law or the Origin Law. But there's nothing interesting about it; it's just a change of name.

"The Time Law and Earthly Advantage Method are essentially the ultimate perfection, but the four fundamental techniques of the True Self Faction do not even have an ultimate perfection."

Why is it so difficult to create one's own spells in the True Self Faction" school? The reason is that it involves the Life Great Dao.

Whether it's accelerating plant growth or breaking the life cycle of a plant, it's all about breaking the mysterious rules of the universe.

So it's very difficult to repair, but once repaired, it becomes very powerful.

Of course, the "True Self Faction magic" here refers to methods of nurturing.

Combat methods are not included here. For example, spells like "Soldier Envoy Divine Art" and "Four Seasons Divine Splendor" do not break the life force of Plant Soldier, making them stronger or accelerating their growth.

This type of combat method simply utilizes the already strong plant life forms to fight.

The supernatural powers still show abnormalities.

The Three Gods Fate Palace skill, being a passive amplification ability, can take effect in a stable void. Starry Eyes Art other hand, is an active skill.

It can also be used due to the special nature of the souls in the Three Gods Fate Palace.

The Eight Disciplines Purple Light cannot be used in either stable or unstable voids.

Below the spell list is the treasure list.

However, it only showed the treasures that Zhao Xing was carrying.

"Some of the treasures I obtained in the Profound Yellow World would be very valuable even in the universe version."

"First, the Thunder Law Sword. After unsealing the first layer, we discovered that it was at least World Star Dao Soldiers."

"Secondly, the Cangwu Summit Leaf an extremely rare and precious item, comparable in value to World Star Dao Soldiers. It possesses powerful regenerative abilities and can reshape the physical body."

"Thirdly, there is the Star Fortune Strategy, this World Star Dao Soldiers, which was also left behind by Qing Yuzi."

"Fourth is the Void Escape Soul Ring, a top-grade Starry Sky Dao Soldiers, a treasure left behind by Su Xianzi. Although it is only top-grade and has not reached the level of World Star Dao Soldiers, it is still a good thing for saving one's life in the path of magic."

The above refers to equipment. In addition, there are two treasures: the Cloud-Soaring Vine and the Tian Gu Beast.

"The ' Tian Gu Beast ' is frozen in ice. Although it is only in its growth stage, it already possesses the strength of the Source Origin First Realm. Once it reaches the second realm, the Tian Gu Beast will be able to use its Innate Divine Power to help with farming."

"The potential of the Cloud-Soaring Vine is even higher. Even in its seedling stage, it possesses the strength of the Source Origin First Realm! Moreover, it has two Innate Divine Power even in its seedling stage."

Even if Naland gave him a hundred exquisite treasures, the value of what he had would still far exceed what Naland gave him.

"The Grand View Realm, Sun Moon Palace, Cosmos Sack, Tianyuan Soul Tool left behind by Qing Yuzi are all ancient artifacts that can be sold for a lot of money."

There are still many valuable treasures within the Great Zhou Dynasty, enough to fetch the price of World Star Dao Soldiers. For example, the Great Dream Academy, which covers an entire realm, can certainly be sold for the price of World Star Dao Soldiers.

"Among the things that Great Zhou took away, at least ten items could be sold for the price of World Star Dao Soldiers. This wealth is astonishing."

With so many treasures available to those who Ascension Realm, whoever steals them will become rich!

After all, those in the Ascension Realm can only use Starry Sky Dao Soldiers occasionally; the power of World Star Dao Soldiers can only be fully unleashed by those in the Source Origin Realm.

"Naland has carefully selected one hundred top-quality star items, including equipment, disposable items, pills, and talismans. Some of them are even rare items."

"Selling it slowly, it'll be roughly equivalent to one and a half low- World Star Dao Soldiers," Zhao Xing assessed. "If I sell it urgently, it'll also be equivalent to one low-grade World Star Dao Soldiers."

Naland's spending was quite substantial.

For World Star Dao Soldiers in the Source Origin Second Realm, it is equivalent to the importance of a car or a house to an ordinary person.

They're giving away a house right away, that's definitely a big deal.

Even so, Naland thought it was worth it, because once his nephew could enter the Purple God Mansion, it would be equivalent to attending a top-tier school in the ancient kingdom, plus solving his employment problem.

"The upgraded panel also has two new features." Zhao Xing looked at the lower right corner of the panel.

Detection and mapping functions.

"After the upgrade, players in the universe version have two functions: one active and one passive. These two functions greatly enhance their ability to survive," Zhao Xing said with a smile.

With a thought, the detection function was immediately activated, and a virtual semi-transparent frame appeared in front of me.

As Zhao Xing's gaze moved, the transparent detection frame moved accordingly.

He landed on Xia Jing.

The next moment, a string of data appeared on the detection frame.

Name: Xia Jing

[Occupation: Qi Sect]

[Qi Yun: Derivation of Eight]

[Realm Level: Mid- Ascension Realm]

[Golden Body: First Tier of the Realm Star]

Age: 996

[Remaining lifespan: 5008 years]

"Xia Jing is Qi Sect. His physical body and Divine Soul are integrated, so his Divine Soul does not manifest separately."

"His Golden Body is at the First Tier of the Realm Star, which is about 10,000 zhang, the lowest threshold."

"Remaining lifespan of over five thousand years?"

Once freed from the limitations of a small world or Realm Star and entering a land of spiritual energy, the lifespan of the Ascension Realm will continuously increase.

The exact amount depends entirely on the environment.

The rate of natural growth will be extremely high, reaching the threshold of 100,000 years in the coming period.

It takes 100,000 years for natural growth without paying any price.

If you want to continue to live, you have to consider factors that are not part of natural growth.

Either break through to the Source Origin Realm, which would grant at least a natural lifespan of 1.2 million years.

They could either take elixirs—there are many elixirs and treasures that can prolong life and greatly extend one's lifespan—or use life-extending treasures, the classic example being the Epoch House, although the Epoch House has too many flaws.

Living means more than just the duration of existence; it should also include life activities. The Epoch House or similar freezing techniques are not considered as extending lifespan.

[Heaven-level Martial Arts (Ultimate Martial Arts): Rhino God Finger, World Shaking Emperor Fist, One Qi Primal Chaos, Gluttonous Heaven, Star Plucking Hand]

The Azure Dragon Dharma Image and the Martial God Descends.

"The Heir Apparent's self-created martial arts are quite impressive," Zhao Xing said with a smile as he looked at Xia Jing's martial arts.

He glanced at Ye Yukong's self-created martial arts techniques, such as "Ultimate Finisher" and "Three Swords of World Annihilation," which were incredibly cheesy.

But Ye Yukong thought the name was very imposing; it just goes to show that everyone has their own preferences.

"The active detection function depends on my level; the higher I go, the less information I get," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"When I pointed the probe at ' Su Qin ' or ' Mu Luo,' all I got, apart from the name, were question marks."

As for the Purple Moon Mansion Lord? His name isn't even displayed; the detection box doesn't respond at all.

"Su Qin and Mu Luo are both in the Third Realm. Having crossed three realms, information about them is extremely scarce."

"It is completely ineffective against those at the Dao Domain Realm."

Even ineffectiveness has its advantages; at least Zhao Xing was able to determine that this was a far stronger opponent than himself.

This feature is very useful and can largely prevent players from messing around and provoking people they can't afford to offend.

The key point is that this kind of detection will not attract the attention of the big shots. Zhao Xing stared at Mu Luo and Su Qin, but they were completely unaware.

If the Soul Heaven Vision and Starry Eyes Art were used, the opponent would probably notice immediately.

This is extremely impolite. If you dare to look at a big shot like that, they might just say "What are you looking at?" and then kill you.

The panel's detection function is quite good; the "harmless peeping" feature is simply brilliant.

"Active detection capabilities are also very effective when facing the enemy."

"However, it still has some flaws. If the enemy is too fast and exceeds my field of vision detection speed, I will die before I can react."

"Secondly, since you can't see inanimate objects, it's impossible to find bargains at auctions using them."

"The second one is the passive map function." Zhao Xing looked at the second new function.

[You have entered the Great Ye Dynasty, Tianjing Star, coordinates: Lunar Yin 23, Solar Yang 34, Junmen 55.]

[You have entered the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, Tao Yuan Star, coordinates: Lunar Yin 153, Solar Yang 248 Heaven Hook 5.]

[You have entered the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, on the Ma Jia Star, at coordinates: Lunar Yin 2, Solar Yang 34, Xingdou 155]

[.

Passive map functionality involves assigning a name and recording coordinates to a player upon entering a location.

"Knowing where someone is is a very powerful feature, especially for me," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

The worst thing about exploring the universe is accidentally wandering into a dangerous place, asking for help, and then not knowing where you are.

Automatically recording map coordinates can also greatly improve the survival rate.

"The Mechanism Master's detector also has similar functions, but it is far less powerful than the panel. The Mechanism Master's detector does not display age, lifespan, or skill information. Most importantly, the panel cannot be tampered with, while the tools created by the Mechanism Master are at risk of being tampered with by another Mechanism Master."

"The Mechanism Master of the Limitless Compass School are definitely hackers. When Purple Bone returned from his undercover mission, he dealt a heavy blow to the Southern Barbarians."

[You have entered the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, the Purple God Star System, the Haimen Star Sector, and the Qing Yu World Star. (Coordinates attached)]

After flying for more than half a month and making several transfers, the Mu Luo World Ark finally arrived at its destination.

One of Qing Yuzi's last wishes was to be buried in her hometown.

Therefore, the Purple Moon Mansion Lord first came to Qing Yu World Star in the Purple God Star System.

Through the window, Zhao Xing and the others quickly saw a familiar planet and the Purple Moon.

When he received the inheritance and entered the Enlightenment Realm, he saw the Qing Yu Star and the Purple Moon.

Realm Star is called Realm Star because it has characteristics of both a small world and a planet.

The first thing Zhao Xing and the others saw was the characteristics of a small world: a layer of vague, cyan-colored gaseous Boundary Wall.

It is a flat, oval shape, like a leaf.

Immediately after the Realm Boat passed through the outer Boundary Wall, it saw the planet Earth inside Qing Yuzi held a very high position in the lineage of the Purple Moon Mansion Lord. His home Realm Star, was originally just a low-level small Realm Star, but after a long period of transformation, it became a high-level Realm Star.

The moment Zhao Xing saw this Realm Star, three words immediately came to mind: real estate.

Among Qing Yuzi's legacy, the most valuable treasure he carried with him was destroyed when he was being chased by his enemies; he used it to save his life.

Of all the things he left behind in the Profound Yellow World, only the Tian Gu Beast, the Star Fortune Strategy, and the Cangwu Summit Leaf could be considered major assets. (The Realm Boat's power module belonged to Pu Ta).

During this period, Zhao Xing learned about Qing Yuzi's life through "Su Qin".

"Junior Brother Qingyu's family all passed away before Qing Yuzi entered the Source Origin Second Realm."

"He also had no descendants because he was very young at the time, so his only relative was his teacher," Su Qin said to Zhao Xing. "Theoretically speaking, you are the most qualified to inherit this Qing Yu World Star now."

"Me? Inheriting this advanced Realm Star from Teacher Qing Yuzi?" Zhao Xing was taken aback.

"Direct disciples naturally have the right to inherit, and the master-disciple relationship is a recognized close relationship anywhere in the universe. Because family members may not live long, but the relationship between master and disciple can last forever."

"In the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, direct disciples are entitled to inherit their teacher's assets; this is enshrined in law."

"And it's not a low priority." Su Qin's voice was ethereal. "If you're willing, you can apply to the relevant departments of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom."

"Of course, this will only happen after the teacher announces Qing Yuzi's death."

Zhao Xing hadn't thought about these things before, because he didn't know if Qing Yuzi had any family members who inherited Qing Yu World Star.

He only found out now.

Qing Yuzi was never declared dead, so in reality, no one inherited Qing Yu World Star; it remained under Qing Yuzi's name.

For more than an epoch since Qing Yuzi disappeared, his real estate was managed by Qing Yuzi's fellow disciples, appointed by the Purple Moon Mansion Lord.

Is immense wealth about to fall into my lap?

"Junior Brother Qingyu and Wan'er Junior Sister Wan'er both have considerable assets in the Purple God Mansion," Su Qin said slowly.

"Junior Sister Wan'er also has a family, so it's hard to say how much she will get. But Junior Brother Qingyu has a high-level Realm Star and more than three hundred small Realm Star and Star Continent."

"These assets, the wealth generated over an era, were all deposited into his account."

"Once you apply, it's yours," Su Qin said with a smile. "Congratulations, Junior Nephew Zhao."

Upon hearing these words, Zhao Xing immediately became wary. "I mustn't show any greed. This might be a test from the Purple Moon Mansion Lord. Otherwise, why would she send Su Qin to discuss this with me now of all times?"

Moreover, there must be some pitfalls here. If a fellow disciple has managed an era, does that mean he might have other ideas?

Qing Yuzi is my dear junior brother. How can you just hand over his assets to an outsider?

Zhao Xing immediately said, "Martial Uncle, I was young and ignorant. It is already a great favor that I was able to receive the master's inheritance and enter the Purple God Mansion. I have never thought about these things, nor dared to think about them."

Su Qin nodded slightly, said nothing more, and walked away on her own.

She arrived at the secret chamber of the Mu Luo World Ark and paid her respects to the Purple Moon Mansion Lord.

"Martial Uncle, I've already spoken with Zhao Xing."

"What did he say?" Purple Moon Mansion Lord asked calmly.

"He said he didn't want it, and dared not have it," Su Qin replied. "However, I have already told him how to fight for the inheritance. If he is not sincere and goes to the ancient kingdom to apply, we will definitely find out."

"Hmm." The Purple Moon Mansion Lord nodded. "Then let's do as I said before."

"If he can resist the temptation within three thousand years and not apply for the right of inheritance, and break through to the Source Origin Realm, then all of this will belong to him."

Purple Moon Mansion Lord still has many things to do. For example, he must find out who the culprit was that caused Qing Yuzi's death in the Profound Yellow World is the Dongyan Ancient Clan, and he must avenge his disciple.

A Dao Domain Realm might spend over ten thousand years in seclusion. Since the Purple Moon Mansion Lord is away on business, he certainly won't be showing up often, so he naturally has to arrange everything in advance.

"If Yu'er has sown Good Cause, then I will let him reap Good Result."

"Since he doesn't fight or grab, I'll give it to him instead."

"If he is a bad person with evil intentions, then we will take back his inherited Purple Light Divine Ability and expel him from the Purple God Mansion."

The Purple Moon Mansion Lord said calmly, "After the funeral is over, spread the word that I have no intention of handing over Yu'er's assets to Zhao Xing."

"As for Wan'er's matter, I will discuss it with your teacher."

"Yes, disciple understands."

Zhao Xing Zhao Xing n't the only one who learned of his inheritance rights.

Purple Bone and the important officials of Great Zhou also learned a little about it. After all, they hadn't spent so many days on the Realm Boat for nothing; they had been learning, including about the inheritance law of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom.

"Big brother, I have the right to inherit Pu Ta's estate!" Purple Bone exclaimed excitedly. "Do you know how many Realm Star Pu Ta owned?"

Zhao Xing quietly watched the excited Purple Bone, who was still saying, "Eighty-six! A full eighty small Realm Star, including five medium-sized Realm Star!"

"My God, do you know how much wealth this is? Pu Ta has no relatives, and there are almost no people who are qualified to compete with me! As soon as the news of Pu Ta's death is announced, I will—."

"Shut up!" Zhao Xing interrupted Purple Bone's daydreaming. "Don't let wealth cloud your judgment!"

"Big brother, what... what do you mean?" Purple Bone was stunned.

"Use your brain and think about it carefully. If one of your disciples died outside, and one day a stranger returned, claiming to be your disciple's successor and wanting to inherit your disciple's estate, how would you react?"

Purple Bone tilted his head. "If this grand-disciple is to my liking, then I'll let him inherit the position."

Zhao Xing shook his head. Purple Bone was really too naive. "Think about it carefully, but remember this..."

Even if you want to, never show it.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, putting aside the matter of sending the bones back, you, me, and those big shots of the Purple God Mansion are all strangers, complete strangers with no emotional connection whatsoever!"

Zhao Xing didn't say much, fearing he might be overheard, so he quickly parted ways with Purple Bone.

As for the people of Great Zhou, Zhao Xing also sternly warned them not to discuss the inheritance, and even less to have any improper thoughts.

Old Master Zhao had no idea what kind of person the Purple Moon Mansion Lord was, nor did he have any experience interacting with him.

But he had far too much experience interacting with the emperor!

The Purple Moon Mansion Lord can be regarded as an emperor. He can make the decision on the inheritance of Qing Yuzi and the other two's estate with a single word.

Whenever it comes to inheritance rights, the emperor's principle is always the same: what I give you is yours, and you cannot ask for it or take it!

The people of Great Zhou quickly understood the meaning behind Zhao Xing's warning.

After all, who hasn't spent time with Emperor Jing?

Now, the Purple Moon Mansion Lord is equivalent to Emperor Jing. If Purple Bone and Zhao Xing dare to have any crooked thoughts and use the inheritance law of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom to fight for the inheritance, then it would be equivalent to colluding with the regional officials to force the emperor to abdicate.

If you look at it from a different perspective, everything will become clear.

But Purple Bone was still somewhat unwilling, so he approached Zhao Xing again. "Brother, is there really no chance? So many Realm Star, so much money—."

Purple Bone is really naive. Zhao Xing has no idea how he got along in the White Bone Sect. Did he lose his mind while refining weapons?

"Qing Yuzi is family to the Purple Moon Mansion Lord, but I, her grand-disciple, was adopted and have no emotional connection with her. Having a place to settle down is enough; I can't ask for too much."

"The Purple God Mansion is a large operation. When we come here, we must first consider the risks before we talk about the benefits."

"What is risk? Risk is our identities as successors, the identities of you and me."

Have you ever seen a prince and his uncle vying for power? No, long ago, in the universe, there was a country called the Ming Dynasty, and there was a prince Zhu Yun, and his uncle was named Zhu Di—

After listening for a while, Purple Bone was a little puzzled. "Brother, in your story, Zhu Yuan Zhang is dead, but we have a Purple Moon Mansion Lord above us, and he is alive."

"That's right, so just wait patiently," Zhao Xing said. "What's yours is yours, and what's not yours, don't get any funny ideas, don't try to get any applications, and definitely don't collude with outsiders."

"Are there outsiders too?"

"There will definitely be someone," Zhao Xing transmitted his voice. "Someone will definitely appear and say they will help you gain control, as long as you leave the Purple God Mansion or something like that."

Zhao Xing didn't know how Qing Yuzi, Pu Ta, and Su Wan died.

But if he were the Purple Moon Mansion Lord, he would definitely suspect that no one within the palace was colluding with the Dongyan Ancient Clan.

After all, exploring the Desolate Territory requires keeping one's whereabouts very secret, so how did they manage to be spotted by the people of the Dongyan Ancient Clan?

"In short, if you trust me, don't do anything and don't listen to anything."

"You must keep a low profile and focus on your cultivation. Whatever benefits are meant to be yours will come to you, and what isn't, you can't force it."

The Mu Luo flying boat landed in Tianming Capital, Qing Yu World Star.

On the very day that the Purple Moon Mansion Lord arrived, the powerful figures on this planet gathered together.

The person in charge of managing the Qing Yuzi territory is named Zhao Yuan, and he is a Third Realm Agricultural Official.

"Master." Zhao Yuan knelt down respectfully, "Disciple welcomes Master."

"Zhao Yuan, inform your Senior Brother and tell them to come to Qing Yu World Star," said the Purple Moon Mansion Lord. "Yu'er is dead; have them come and pay their respects."

"What?!" Zhao Yuan's face immediately filled with grief. "My junior brother has perished?"

The Purple Moon Mansion Lord carefully observed Zhao Yuan's expression and nodded slightly. "Go quickly."

"Master, please accept my condolences. I'll go right away—"

Then the Purple Moon Mansion Lord looked at Zhao Xing and said, "You've been by my side these past few days."

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded respectfully.

In the following month, many powerful individuals arrived at Qing Yu World Star.

Most of them belonged to the Purple God Mansion faction, and most were from the lineage of the Purple Moon Mansion Lord, with a small number being Qing Yuzi's own friends.

Zhao Xing also met two other Dao Domain Realm here.

Pu Ta's teacher, the Tianyuan Mansion Lord.

Su Wan's teacher Yuqing Mansion Lord.

"These two Dao Domain Realm don't seem to have such deep feelings for their disciple; at least, you can't see any sadness in them," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

It was quite obvious during the process of getting to know the Tianyuan Mansion Lord and the Yuqing Mansion Lord.

The first reason is that their relationship is not as close as that of the Purple Moon Mansion Lord and Qing Yuzi.

The second reason is that Pu Ta and Su Wan were only at the first realm when they left, and they believed that Pu Ta and Su Wan had died in the Desolate Territory long ago.

After all, the first realm of origin is just beginning to emerge, and at most it can only live for a little over one era.

How much time has passed since then? So they have long since accepted that Tucky is dead.

Only Qing Yuzi, who was already in the second realm when he set off, still has a high chance of surviving even after an era has passed, in terms of lifespan.

"So he's the one who inherited Wan'er's legacy?" Yuqing Mansion Lord and Purple Moon Mansion Lord chatted. "What's his name?"

"Zhao Xing," said the Purple Moon Mansion Lord, "Will stay in the Purple Moon Mansion."

"I won't fight you for it," said Yuqing Mansion Lord. "He is the Agricultural Official, so of course he can stay with you. But the Three Gods Fate Palace technique originated from the Reincarnation Temple, Wan'er had permission to learn it. It would still be a bit troublesome if he learned it now."

"I'll leave this to you to handle," said the Purple Moon Mansion Lord. "If all else fails, we'll send him off to complete the test later."

"I'm afraid we'll have to wait," said the Yuqing Mansion Lord. "The Reincarnation Temple has stopped recruiting externally and will not be recruiting from the Ancient Kingdom Alliance for some time."

"When did this happen?" Purple Moon Mansion Lord frowned. "Why?"

"I heard that another Derivation God Stele has been lost, and it was lost in the Xuanling Star Domain, which has greatly angered the Reincarnation Temple."

"How come I didn't know?" Purple Moon Mansion Lord was somewhat surprised.

"It's been lost for thousands of years, kept secret all this time. I only recently got some inside information," said the Yuqing Mansion Lord. "Without the normal channels, it's against the rules for him to learn this supernatural power, and it will be taken back."

?

"There are always ways to be flexible," said the Purple Moon Mansion Lord. "Let's ignore them for now. It won't be easy to officially implement these rules. So many people have already learned them; are we just going to take them all back?"

Yuqing Mansion Lord nodded and said nothing more.

"He brought back news of Wan'er, which is a favor in itself, and I should prepare a reward for him," said Yuqing Mansion Lord.

"I have arrangements," Purple Moon Mansion Lord, waving her hand. "I've prepared your share as well; Su Qin will deliver it to him."

After that, the Yuqing Mansion Lord said nothing more.

Purple Moon had already made arrangements for where Zhao Xing would stay and how he would be placed, so she wouldn't do anything extra.

Six months later, Qing Yuzi's funeral ended, and many powerful figures left, including Tian Yuan, Purple Moon, and Yuqing, three Dao Domain Realm.

However, the Purple Moon Mansion Lord did not ignore Zhao Xing. On the same day that Zhao Xing left, Zhao Yuan, the administrator of Qing Yu World Star, approached Zhao Xing, Yun Tian Dao, and Liu Tianning.

Zhao Yuan looked at Liu Tianning: "You are an unofficial member. Six months later, you will travel with the ' Tianxing Person ' flying boat on Qing Yu Star to participate in the trials arranged by the Purple God Mansion."

"The Tianxing Continent is where my Purple God Mansion trains its registered disciples to break through to the Source Origin Realm."

"If you can reach the first realm within ten thousand years, you will be able to become a full-fledged member."

"You'll have to acquire all the extra resources yourself on the Tianxing Continent. I don't have anything to give you here. The only thing I have is the breakthrough method to reach the Source Origin First Realm."

"Yes." Liu Tianning cupped his hands in greeting.

After giving his instructions, Zhao Yuan looked at Yun Tian Dao.

"Yun Tian Dao, you are now a formal member of the Purple God Mansion. I will teach you."

"From today onwards, you will stay on Qing Yu World Star to cultivate."

"The resources you need to reach the Source Origin Realm, including breakthrough techniques, spells, pills, and spiritual liquids, will all be provided free of charge by the Purple God Mansion. You don't need to go out and explore."

"Yes."

Finally, Zhao Yuan looked at Zhao Xing.

"Zhao Xing, I will also take over as your professor."

"You will receive the same treatment as Yun Tian Dao. As the successor of Qing Yuzi, you will receive an additional 500 Origin Sea Coin as a reward for bringing back the remains of your Junior Sister."

500 Origin Sea Coin!

This can be considered a very generous reward!

However, it's just a drop in the ocean compared to Qing Yuzi's legacy.

"Yes, thank you, Martial Uncle Zhao Yuan." Zhao Xing cupped his hands in thanks.

"I will help you arrange for Great Zhou to be placed on a low-level Realm Star with a spiritual energy index of 20, right here in this star region, Zhao Yuan:"

"But they are not considered forces under the Purple God Mansion, unless they meet the Purple God Mansion's requirements one day in the future."

"You, Yun Tian Dao, your personal cultivation resources are for designated use only and may not be used by anyone else."

"Of course, you can do whatever you want with this 500 Origin Sea Coin. Whether you want to help them or others, it's up to you."

"The Great Zhou can only reside in this star region for ten thousand years."

"The Purple God Mansion will not collect taxes for ten thousand years, but it will have to pay taxes to the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom."

"No one in the Great Zhou can be considered a 'citizen' of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom. They are only granted special permission to reside there. If they do not meet the requirements within ten thousand years, they are not allowed to wander to other planets with high spiritual energy indices."

Zhao Yuan said, "Even if it's Qing Yu World Star, they can't just come here casually."

"However, you two each have 100 supplementary slots. You can go back and read the ' Origin Sea Ancient Kingdom Citizen Law ' for the details."

"Remember, these bans are very strict!"

"The penalties are severe if a violation is discovered. Please remember this clearly."

"Yes." Zhao Xing and Yun Tian Dao both assured him repeatedly that they would pay attention.

Because the spiritual energy index of the spiritual energy star system where Qing Yu World Star is located exceeds 100!

Anyone who enters can cultivate rapidly, and the clear balance of spiritual energy cannot be easily broken, so the population must be strictly controlled.

If the Great Zhou were to recklessly absorb spiritual energy, its population could expand a hundredfold within a mere thousand years!

Just living here wastes a lot of the galaxy's spiritual resources.

Therefore, you can't move around freely at all, unless you're paying money.

If Great Zhou can make money, then he can become a citizen.

"The population migration of the Great Zhou will take place in six months. During this time, I will give you several options." Zhao Yuan looked at Zhao Xing: "Some of them are risky gambles, but I don't recommend you choose them."

"Thank you, Martial Uncle."

"Ask me if you need anything," Zhao Yuan said. "It's okay if you don't understand, you must be diligent in learning and asking questions."

"If you break the rules, the punishment will be severe."

"Yes."

Within the Qing Yu World Star, inside the Azure Lotus World Ark.

At this time, the Great Zhou had already undergone three migrations.

The first migration was from the Profound Yellow World Ark to the Hope Star.

The second migration was from Hope Star to Mu Luo World Ark.

The third migration was from the Mu Luo World Ark to the current Azure Lotus World Ark.

There was no other way; a low-level dynasty like the Great Zhou and its people could not possibly be relocated to the Qing Yu World Star.

After all, this is a star system with a high spiritual energy index, and Qing Yu Star does not allow so many people of the Great Zhou to come and live here. They are only allowed to live inside the Realm Boat.

"What? My Great Zhou can only live here for ten thousand years, and within those ten thousand years, I cannot move around freely. I also have to pay the ancient kingdom's spiritual energy tax—what's the difference between this and being kept in captivity?!"

After reading these rules, Ji Che couldn't help but look up at the sky.

"If taxes are calculated per capita, does that mean the Great Zhou Dynasty has to pay ten Origin Sea Coin every hundred years just for residing in this star system?"

"My God, this is only because the Purple God Mansion exempted it from taxes, only charging the ancient kingdom's spiritual energy tax and land tax."

"We can't just go out and explore freely; we have to pay to go out—"

Ji Che felt like he was going crazy!

"Even if we sell all the wealth that Great Zhou brought with him, we still can't afford to live here!" The others also wailed.

Zhao Xing was also somewhat helpless. "So the Great Zhou must do a good job of population control, while also saving expenses and making money like crazy in order to establish itself in a star system with a spiritual energy index of over 100."

"But didn't we not live on Realm Star with a spiritual energy index of 100?" Ji Che asked. "The Purple God Mansion only arranged for us to Realm Star with a spiritual energy index of 20."

"But this Realm Star is still in the Purple Moon Star Region, still within the Purple God Mansion, so the Great Zhou will always receive some kind of benefit," Zhao Xing said.

"I don't have enough money," Ji Che muttered to himself.

"It's not enough," Zhao Xing sighed.

He currently has 500 million. It seems like a lot, but it's not. Living in such an auspicious star system requires a lot of money!

Based on the purchasing power of the currency issued by the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, the cheapest low-grade World Star Dao Soldiers costs less than one million.

How much does it cost to work in the Ascension Realm for a year? Around ten thousand yuan!

Theoretically speaking, if you want to save a million, wouldn't it take several hundred years?

Doesn't that mean that it takes several hundred years for someone to reach the Ascension Realm to accumulate a World Star Dao Soldiers?

In reality, it's not like that. Various taxes can be overwhelming; for example, the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom levies a "Spiritual Energy Tax."

Different realms have different tax rates. Generally speaking, if one doesn't spend money on cultivation in the Ascension Realm, one can barely make ends meet and won't save a penny. In most cases, one will even be in debt.

Saving money? You're dreaming!

"If you don't want to live in a spiritual star system, you can just live in a place with a low spiritual energy index, like the Great Ye Dynasty." Tong Wenzhuo asked, puzzled. "Why is the salary of the Ascension Realm so low? Even the salary of the Source Origin Realm is not high."

"Because Mechanical Puppet are more efficient," Zhao Xing said. "The mechanical arts of ancient countries have advanced to this day, and most jobs are now completely mechanized."

"Basically, anything Ascension Realm can do, Mechanical Puppet can do too," Zhao Xing said. "And at a lower cost."

"That's not right," Liu Tianning said. "Mechanical Puppet cannot replace the position of Agricultural Official. I've read a lot of information these past few days, and they all say that Mechanical Puppet cannot perform the Shennong Art."

"Yes," Zhao Xing nodded, "But if the Great Zhou wants to make money through farming, firstly, it needs good land."

Secondly, one must have good seeds; thirdly, one must True Self Faction.

"Is there a trap here too?" Liu Tianning asked.

"Of course." Zhao Xing nodded. "We can't afford land with high spiritual energy index, and we can forget about high-end products. We're not competitive at all, and we can't even recoup our costs."

"Secondly, there are seeds. We need to buy a batch of seeds every year, which is another expense —"

"Wait a minute," Mi Fu interrupted, "Grand Minister of Agriculture, I don't understand. Why do we need to buy seeds? Can't we just buy the first batch ourselves and then cultivate and propagate them ourselves?"

Zhao Xing shook his head helplessly. "Do you still remember the test that Qing Yuzi set up in the Second Stage?"

"I remember." Liu Tianning nodded. "Study the life structure diagram of the Tian Gu Beast, and once you unlock it, you can master it and pass this level."

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded. "The ancient kingdom's merchant guild locks in the life structure diagram of every seed it sells, which can only be planted for one generation. Its reproductive function has been locked."

"Let me give you an example. The most valuable cash crop on the Qing Yu World Star is the ' Qing Yu Tree.' Even if you buy the seeds or seedlings and painstakingly cultivate them to maturity, it will only bear fruit once."

"Once it's harvested once, it won't bear fruit again."

"Is it possible that we can lift the blockade and secretly plant the seed?" Ji Si asked cautiously.

Zhao Xing said calmly, "You can, but it's illegal. Once you start shipping large quantities, just wait for the powerful forces that possess this technology to come and attack you!"

"Heavens, are you trying to kill me?!" Ji Si gasped for breath.
