Defeat me before Star Luck Coin land?

Upon hearing such arrogant words, Zhao Xing immediately used the panel's detection function to Reconnaissance the other party's information.

Name: Jing Yan

[Occupation: Daoist Soldier Mechanism Master]

[Realm Level: Perfected Void Realm]

[Dojo: Eighth Rank of the Realm Star]

[Qi Luck: Derivation Eleven]

Age: 3996

[Remaining lifespan: 1.9 epochs]

[Void Law: Spirit Control, Void Weaponization, Taiyin Jialuo, Roaming God Shuttle, Roaming God Five Elements Path, Mustard Seed Tsunami, Source Origin Battle Spirit]

Advanced Tactics Optimization, Source Origin Dispersal, Void Oscillation —

[Minor Divine Ability: Military Tactics Prohibition, Roaming God Heaven]

"Two Minor Divine Ability. We've run into a master—an Imperial?"

Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised after reading the information.

Star Luck Coin are a specialty of the Red Star Empire. The other party also speaks with an imperial accent. In addition, people from the Empire are usually quite combative. Combining these three factors, Zhao Xing knew that he had encountered a genius at the second realm from the Red Star Empire.

The Red Star Empire is located on the other side of the Chenluo Desolate Territory!

To reach the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, one must traverse almost half of the Xuanling Star Domain. The imperial people who dare to venture into foreign lands must certainly have some skill.

Furthermore, the Wandering Divine Soldiers originated from the Red Star Empire, and the opponent's Void Law contain many methods that are compatible with the Wandering Divine Soldiers.

"He's actually from the same hometown as me in the Empire."

Zhao Xing licked his lips and accepted the challenge without hesitation.

In his previous life, he was also a citizen of an empire; one could say that the Red Star Empire was his first home in the universe.

"Boom!" The dojo erupted with a roar, and a wave of scorching heat rolled in. The Purple Yang Star and the Purple Yin Star appeared, Zhao Xing made his move without hesitation.

His current dojo is at the Seventh Order of the Realm Star, but with the dual origins erupting, the power of the dual origin dojo is naturally much stronger.

"You've got something." Jing Yan's entire body flickered in place for a moment.

The next moment, eight thousand-meter-tall, silver pillars with void runes on them appeared to be inserted into the void.

Four vertical lines, two horizontal lines, and one diagonal grip.

The four Space Stabilizing Pillar are called "void stabilizers" and are placed vertically.

As the Agricultural Official, Zhao Xing's Daoist temple possesses a strong ability to interfere with other things. The two sources of Yin and Yang can switch frequencies hundreds of millions of times per second.

The training ground is the home ground. Since this place has already been adjusted by Zhao Xing, it is his home ground for fighting, which is very unfavorable for Zhao Xing Jing Yan.

The chaos coefficient exceeded 80 the moment Zhao Xing made his move, and Jing Yan could not detect any spiritual energy.

Using the Star-Fixing Pillar ensures that Jing Yan's spellcasting and control can proceed stably.

"Boom!" The dojo swept across the mountain where Jing Yan was in an instant.

The thousand-meter-high peak seemed to melt instantly, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.

The space protected by the Star-Fixing Pillar remained unaffected; light shone from it, and although the halo trembled slightly, Jing Yan inside was completely unaffected.

The two origins surged like a river, but the space where Jing Yan was located stood firm like a reef.

The one placed vertically is the Star-Fixing Pillar, mainly for defense, while the one placed horizontally is called the "Path Breaking Needle".

Although it's called a needle, it's actually a kilometer long and has a radius of four meters.

The Path Breaking Needle is specifically designed for dojos. Two needles, a kilometer apart, intertwine with light, instantly transforming into a rhomboid Black Light Shuttle.

"Mouth~"

The Black Light Shuttle formed by the Path Breaking Needle instantly pierced into Zhao Xing's dojo.

It was like a military knife piercing flesh; the dojo was slashed open, leaving deep wounds all around.

It was impossible to repair them in a short time because, under Jing Yan's control, the power of these two Dao weapons had exceeded the critical value of Zhao Xing's eighth-level Dao field.

The small stick that Jing Yan was holding at an angle did not move, and the Wandering Divine Soldiers floating behind him were also motionless.

In his view, Zhao Xing should have backed down now that he saw how easily he could break through his dojo.

It's just a place to rest; it's not a big deal.

But Old Master Zhao didn't think so.

He's always the one taking other people's land, how could Jing Yan possibly take his?

If he were Major Divine Ability, he would have yielded; they're both at the second realm, so who's afraid of whom!

"Boom."

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning exploded on the Space Stabilizing Pillar in the upper left corner.

Jing Yan felt a piercing sound and a slight tingling sensation.

His pupils changed from blue to green, then from green to red—the [Vision of the Dao] changed several times in succession—and he finally saw the source of the attack.

Suddenly, eight dim stars appeared in the sky.

Nine large Dark Thunder Star are generating smaller Dark Thunder Star, which are impacting his Space Stabilizing Pillar and Path Breaking Needle.

"Nether Thunder Law? That's really insidious. It took seven adjustments to my Dao Vision to see it."

Jing Yan sensed the power and frequency of the attack, and with a thought, eight black holes suddenly appeared on the Space Stabilizing Pillar.

"Star Shattering Cannon!"

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!

The eight cannons bombarded the area without any blind spots, each shot powered by the very essence of the Solar Yang.

The Fire Elemental Cannon can suppress the Yin Elemental Thunder, and each strike is a full-force attack at the peak of the second level of the standard realm.

"Metaphor"

After the Dark Thunder Star were shattered, Jing Yan calculated that it took him sixteen shots to shatter Zhao Xing's eight Dark Thunder Star.

"This guy's overall combat strength is not weak either, at least 30 times that of a standard second-stage perfect cultivator."

Based on the standard combat power of a perfect second realm cultivator, Jing Yan quickly concluded that Zhao Xing was 30 times stronger than that limit.

However, Jing Yan was not flustered. His overall combat strength was higher, otherwise, why would he dare to take the risk at South Luo Number 88? There are quite a few people in the Third Realm here.

The Black Light Shuttle was already close to the crying ruler, completely locking onto Zhao Xing's life force.

Jing Yan's plan was to force Zhao Xing out of the area by 500 million kilometers. Given the environment of the Star Wheel Maze, the unstable environment beyond 500 million kilometers should be able to force Zhao Xing out.

"Dumb~"

Just when Jing Yan thought victory was assured, the light on the Space Stabilizing Pillar in the lower right corner suddenly went out.

[Warning: The stability coefficient within a radius of 1,000 kilometers has dropped sharply!]

The artifact spirit has issued a warning!

"What came in?"

Jing Yan was somewhat surprised.

He didn't sense anything, but his artifact spirit gave him a warning.

The stability coefficient dropped sharply, which clearly indicates that the basic spellcasting disk has been compromised!

He scanned hundreds of millions of times in an instant, but still couldn't find anything that caused the stability coefficient to drop.

"Source Origin Dispersal!"

Jing Yan's shoulders radiated a blazing light, illuminating the endless night like a lighthouse.

The universe is the deep sea, and he is the lighthouse. He can sense any intrusion, whether it's magic, traps, or any other object.

The problem is, there isn't!

"Void Oscillation!"

The metal rod that Jing Yan was holding finally moved.

It began to tremble with a very small amplitude, and ripples spread throughout the entire casting space.

This is his self-made "Myriad Laws Dao Soldier".

Dao Soldier Stream Mechanism Master usually have three most important things.

First, there are treasures that maintain a stable spellcasting plate, such as the [Space Stabilizing Pillar], which requires a significant portion of Mechanism Master to craft.

Without creating a stable space for spellcasting, everything else is out of the question.

Even the Path Breaking Needle isn't that important.

One must also master the corresponding spells before daring to venture out alone.

Secondly, there is the weapon spirit. The weapon spirit of the Dao Soldier Stream Mechanism Master is also a very important assistant, almost equivalent to a second self.

The spirit of the artifact is absolutely rational. When the Mechanism Master is under a spell or loses his mind, it is often the spirit of the artifact that saves him.

Third is the [Myriad Laws Dao Soldier].

It can be considered the Mechanism Master's signature weapon.

It is a treasure that combines the essence of craftsmanship and magic, something that no other profession can create, and it doesn't have the same effect Mechanism Master himself in the hands of others.

It has many uses. For example, right now, Jing Yan is using his Myriad Laws Dao Soldier to filter the entire stable spellcasting space in multiple dimensions.

"Metaphor"

A rainbow of colors—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—appeared within a radius of a thousand miles, and occasionally, turbulent void currents even surfaced.

This is all because Jing Yan possesses the Myriad Laws Dao Soldier.

"Found it! The breach was actually caused by wisps of wind?"

Jing Yan was surprised.

In his field of vision, wisps of wind, almost particle-sized, pierced through the Space Stabilizing Pillar and entered.

These wind particles are disrupting the surrounding environment, and some have even reached my side.

"What kind of Dark Wind Method is this? How insidious!"

"Boom!"

Jing Yan dispersed the winds with a single blow, then stabilized the spellcasting space and restored it to normal.

Dark Wind Method - Embryonic Fetal Breath!

Zhao Xing felt a pang of regret that the Wind Art had been broken.

He knew the Imperial Mechanism Master well, as well as the fighting style of the Dao Soldier Stream Mechanism Master. To injure Mechanism Master, breaking their spellcasting foundation was key.

The silent, yin Dark Wind Method is the most cost-effective and has the lowest cost.

Unfortunately, Jing Yan, through the Myriad Laws Dao Soldier, used the two spells of Void Oscillation and Source Origin Dispersal to find his Dark Wind Method. His Fetal Breath had reached the Void level and could be integrated into the Void for casting, just like colorless and odorless substances mixed into water.

It's impossible for ordinary people to detect!

However, Jing Yan extracted the Dark Wind Method through the Myriad Laws Dao Soldier and magic!

"What a pity—hmm?!"

Zhao Xing transformed into a ray of light and instantly appeared in another place.

"Boom"

As he used the Cloud -Cloud Method to dodge, a deep pit appeared where he had been standing.

But Jing Yan began to exert his full strength and showed his true abilities.

His Wandering Divine Soldiers were already activated; a total of seven arch-shaped weapons, some glowing red, some purple, and some emitting green light.

The attack reached Zhao Xing through the channel opened by the Path Breaking Needle.

In return, both Zhao Xing and Jing Yan's original bodies were forced to relocate from their original positions due to the other's attack.

Both of them threatened each other's basic spellcasting space!

Practitioners of magic do not enjoy hand-to-hand combat like martial artists, where every punch lands hard.

For a practitioner of magic, being able to invade the opponent's safe spellcasting space is tantamount to handing a knife to the opponent's heart.

In a flash, the two exchanged blows, the magical blades grazing each other's throats!

"Boom!"

Jing Yan drew a miniature gun barrel from his waist with his left hand and hit the Star Luck Coin that was about to fall.

The Star Luck Coin rose again, floating overhead. Jing Yan, full of fighting spirit, looked at Zhao Xing: "Add another hour, let's go again!"

"Good!"

Zhao Xing also became excited; there was no doubt that Jing Yan was a formidable opponent.

According to the Empire's dueling tradition, Jing Yan's decision to extend the life of the Star Luck Coin a second time signifies his respect for Zhao Xing as an opponent, and a departure from his previous contempt.

Furthermore, if Zhao Xing survives the second life extension, he can take an exclusive trophy from his opponent.

This is an honor, and many Imperials take pride in collecting exclusive loot!

"!!

The black light shuttle began to accelerate, and the dojo was like a curtain that had been cut open.

At the bottom of the opening is Zhao Xing himself.

There are multiple versions of the Wandering Divine Soldiers; Jing Yan wields the top-tier Twelve Wandering Deities.

The light emanating from the twelve arched bridges contained not only twelve secret techniques, but also sixty-four powerful attacks. If one were to comprehend them, the possible combinations would be endless.

Zhao Xing was immediately subjected to a high-intensity bombardment, which was about thirty times more intense than the previous attack!

All of Jing Yan's attacks arrived in front of Zhao Xing the moment they appeared on the Wandering Divine Soldiers.

This is the Void Law —the Roaming God Shuttle.

Wandering Divine Soldiers's attack was not a random barrage, but rather subtly aligned with the Yin-Yang Great Dao.

Wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, and water generates wood.

Wood can generate thunder and wind, and there is also the distinction between yin and yang. These attacks can generate each other in endless variations.

Moreover, regardless of whether each wave of attack is effective or not, it will never give the enemy a chance to scatter, and will immediately provide power for the next wave of attack.

By cyclically stacking, the power can theoretically be increased indefinitely!

"Purple Wind!"

"Blood Cloud Boundary!"

"Heaven Tide!"

Zhao Xing didn't take it lightly and immediately used the Jiefa Luo.

The Jiefa Luo is arc-shaped, but it can transform into a complete sphere at any time.

After making money in the first two hundred years, Zhao Xing also upgraded the Jiefa Luo from Four World Flow to a twelve-realm flow.

In other words, he now has twelve layers of defense and twelve layers of amplification in front of him.

With each layer of defense weakened, the power transmitted to Zhao Xing's Dao body became very small.

The Void Law Purple Wind and Blood Cloud Boundary, and the Rain Art Heaven Tide are all Yang Laws.

The wind is invisible, yet it can deflect attacks; the clouds are tangible, and the Blood Cloud Boundary can absorb a portion of their power to grow stronger.

The Rain Art, like Heaven Tide, refracts each raindrop like a sparkling crystal, causing enemy attacks to be deflected.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom~"

The earth was cracking and shattering, and the ground had become a sea of fire!

As the intensity of their sparring increased, they had already reached the magma layer!

Holding on to the sidelines isn't Zhao Xing's style.

Moreover, prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat, as the enemy's Wandering Divine Soldiers are becoming increasingly powerful.

The Roaming God Five Elements Path is a very powerful technique, and the Twelve Wandering Deities represent the pinnacle weapons usable in the Source Origin Second Realm.

Zhao Xing multitasked, immediately jumping from the very core of the sphere to the space between the twelfth and eleventh levels of the Jiefa Luo.

"Yuan Magnetic Thunderstorm!"

Zhao Xing let out a low roar, his body seemingly transforming into a pure lightning form, with lightning spreading out like a tree diagram.

In exchange for a perfect opportunity to attack, the main body is attacked.

At this moment, Jing Yan's attack also weakened.

He also seized this opportunity.

"Boom!"

Zhao Xing's body flew backwards for a hundred miles. As he flew, his body rapidly grew larger, and his feet landed on the lava.

The Sky Supporting Pillar Treasure Mountain Art!

He was enveloped in fire, lightning, and frost, but his legs absorbed the power of the attack and transmitted it to the ground.

"Damn it, another underhanded technique!"

A look of pain appeared on Jing Yan's face, and his body was covered in rust.

At this moment, their magical blades finally descended upon each other.

Zhao Xing was hit by Jing Yan's [Mustard Seed Tsunami] and the strongest attack among the Twelve Wandering Deities, [Taiyin Jialuo].

Among them, Mustard Seed Tsunami targets the soul, while Taiyin Jialuo destroys the original Dao body.

If Zhao Xing's Sea of Consciousness were a palace, it would now be filled with countless tiny holes.

The three gods' soul essence was not damaged, but this shell was attacked countless times by the mustard seed.

The body suffered some degree of frostbite and ulceration, but it was only a minor injury.

The Dharma is hidden within the Dharma; Jing Yan's true attack is the Mustard Seed Tsunami, not the Taiyin Jialuo!

Jing Yan was hit by Zhao Xing's self-created spell, [Golden Body Erosion]!

He used the Yuan Magnetic Thunderstorm to clear the way, which was actually the same as Jing Yan.

The Dharma is hidden within the Dharma!

The real attack was the Dark Rain Art Golden Body Erosion, which shattered the Star-Fixing Pillar in an instant, sprinkling highly corrosive raindrops onto Jing Yan's body.

The surrounding area was engulfed in flames, and the very essence of the world was in chaos.

The two of them paused for a moment at that instant.

The Star Luck Coin was burning red-hot and was about to fall into the lava.

Zhao Xing stared at Jing Yan.

If Jing Yan were to extend the life of the Star Luck Coin for the third time, the meaning would be different.

The first fight was a bit arrogant, but not malicious.

The second is to respect the opponent and value their challenge to honor; this kind of discussion is incisive and transcends life and death.

However, if you extend the life of the Star Luck Coin for the third time, it means it's a fight to the death.

Everyone had trump cards but didn't use them, and no one used their special abilities.

If we fight again, it will be a matter of life and death.

"I lost." Jing Yan let the Star Luck Coin fall and drift in the lava.

A stream of light washed over his body, and he quickly returned to normal.

Zhao Xing was the same; the flames on his body and his injuries quickly healed.

The two of them had reduced their aura by about half, in terms of the total amount of spiritual power.

Zhao Xing's descent was slightly less because he possessed Dual-Origin Dao Body.

However, Jing Yan wasn't much different, because he was at the peak of the second realm, while Zhao Xing was still only at the middle stage of the second realm.

The injuries were minor; the only problem was that the terrain was completely destroyed.

Jing Yan looked at Zhao Xing with a hint of mutual appreciation in his eyes. "I never expected to see a genius in Agricultural Official in a place like this. My name is Jing Yan, brother, what's your name?"

"My name is Zhao Xing. Are you from the Empire?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Is it that obvious?" Jing Yan laughed. "That's right, I come from the Beiye Star System of the Red Star Empire."

"Oh?" Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised. "That's not very far from the Beihe Star System."

"You've been to the Beihe Star System?" Jing Yan, somewhat surprised.

"Hmm." Zhao Xing switched to Imperial language, "I lived on that home planet for a long time."

"Haha, you speak North River dialect very fluently. Then we can be considered half fellow countrymen. I ascended to heaven on the North River Star."

Jing Yan laughed heartily. "No wonder your fighting style seemed familiar."

Isn't it familiar? Zhao Xing's fighting habits were developed in the Red Star Empire.

Zhao Xing completed his combat training in the cosmic version within the Red Star Empire.

"Come on, Zhao Xing, pick one." Jing Yan waved his hand, and a bunch of Divine Soldier lined up in the air.

"On the left are all the Daoist soldiers I made myself, and they have my name on them."

"My assets are on the right."

Jing Yan said.

Zhao Xing glanced at it and had to admit that Jing Yan had a strong sense of imperial contractual responsibility and was very particular about things.

He even brought out the components of the Path Breaking Needle and the Twelve Wandering Deities.

"This is it." Zhao Xing chose one of the sets, which was shaped like four square boxes stacked with a blue sphere in the middle, much like a Rubik's Cube about to break.

This item is called the "Star Continent Oscillator," used for exploding stars, and is a one-time consumable.

Of course, we don't know exactly how high the specifications are.

In short, it should be one of the more valuable Daoist weapons made by Jing Yan.

Zhao Xing did not choose the right side.

Choosing the right side of your assets means you'll become enemies.

Zhao Xing can dig up graves anytime he wants money; it's good to have a genius Mechanism Master as a friend.

"Haha, you have good taste!" Jing Yan laughed happily, waved his hand, and handed the Star Continent Oscillator to Zhao Xing.

Being able to meet a genius Agricultural Official in a foreign land, and having even visited the Red Star Empire, Zhao Xing was naturally willing to make this friend.

Zhao Xing's magic is all underhanded, but he's a pretty good person.

"Oh right, according to the rules, it's yours too." Jing Yan picked up the Star Luck Coin and passed it to Zhao Xing.

Having acquired the item, Zhao Xing didn't look at the Star Continent Oscillator, focusing instead on the Star Luck Coin.

"You're really giving it to me?"

Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised.

What are the effects of this Star Luck Coin?

Luck is increased by First Tier!

Since arriving in the universe, Zhao Xing's luck level has remained unchanged at Yan Jiu.

His luck is getting harder and harder to upgrade. With this Star Luck Coin, he can temporarily reach the tenth level of the Derivation Realm!

Ten and nine, though only First Tier, are actually different levels.

"Of course, I still have several more," Jing Yan said nonchalantly. "You don't need to worry about me losing my luck."

Upon inspection, Zhao Xing found that Jing Yan's luck remained at level eleven even after losing the Star Luck Coin.

"No wonder—" Zhao Xing put away the Star Luck Coin.

"What?" Jing Yan didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing, I was just saying, Brother Liang," Zhao Xing laughed.

Actually, he was just reviewing the last wave of the battle.

They discovered that their lightning magic had been interfered with by some unexpected factor.

Some unexpected interferences during combat cannot be completely eliminated.

In the final wave of attacks, Jing Yan's hidden magic within magic hit Zhao Xing with both spells.

Zhao Xing, however, only managed to hit the "Golden Body Erosion":

Unexpected factors are luck! Jing Yan's luck just now had some effect.

Otherwise, his lightning attacks should have been effective as well.

As the saying goes, no one becomes friends without a fight, and Zhao Xing and Jing Yan quickly became acquainted.

Both of them were quite old and had plenty of lifespan left, so Jing Yan wasn't in a hurry to go on an adventure.

He chatted and talked with Zhao Xing here for several months.

Zhao Xing was happy to oblige, as his cultivation level was rising rapidly, but his self-created spells lacked practice.

Jing Yan is a good candidate.

"I have two Minor Divine Ability: one is the Military Tactics Prohibition, and the other is the Roaming God Heaven." Jing Yan casually revealed his trump card.

"Brother, have you heard of these? They're all unique supernatural techniques of the Red Star Empire!"

The pride of the imperial people is undisguised, and Jing Yan is a classic example of this.

However, his country certainly has something for him to be proud of.

In the entire Xuanling Star Domain, only the Red Star Empire is a national-level domestic superpower!

The Reincarnation Temple, the Ancient Hill of Antiquity, and the Origin Heavenly Palace —these super powers are not native to the Xuanling Star Domain.

The Desolate Territory Ancient Kingdoms Alliance is a superpower composed of 100,000 ancient kingdoms; it cannot be considered a single country.

The Red Star Empire, on the other hand, is a single nation!

It was originally an ancient kingdom, but through continuous development, it gradually grew into a behemoth.

"I've heard of Roaming God Heaven, but only vaguely of the Military Tactics Prohibition," Zhao Xing said. "Could the Military Tactics Prohibition Attaining Dao soldiers ineffective?"

"Not bad," Jing Yan said proudly. "If I were to unleash it, perhaps only Jiefa Luo could use the Dao weapons on your body."

"Even if it could be used, its power would be reduced to that of the Four World Flow."

"At the level of the World Star Dao Soldiers, almost none can resist the Military Tactics Prohibition, not even the best ones."

"Those who are completely unaffected are basically at the Taiyin Dao Soldiers level."

Zhao Xing nodded. Every profession has its own expertise, Mechanism Master ' skills could indeed achieve such an effect.

Just like a martial artist's Golden Body technique, some powerful ones can be completely unaffected by attacks from the World Star Dao Soldiers, standing still and letting others hit them without getting hurt in the slightest.

Du Yun is a prime example. This Major Divine Ability being is even more extraordinary; even the Taiyin Dao Soldiers at the Dao Domain Realm cannot harm his core.

However, Du Yun is a top-tier genius in the ancient country, and such geniuses are rare.

"Brother, I see you have the right Heavenly Timing and the Earthly Advantage Institute —during our first sparring session, you used a spell from the ' Treasure Mountain Art Technique,' right?" Jing Yan asked.

"You know about Treasure Mountain Art? Haven't you only been here a few years?" Zhao Xing, somewhat surprised.

This skill is relatively unpopular. After all, the Treasure Mountain Art belongs to the "Martial Shennong" path. If you cultivate the Treasure Mountain Art, it will be a rare profession, as you can receive subsidies and have some taxes deducted.

"Of course I know," Jing Yan said. "Wu Tian, the founder of Treasure Mountain Art, is imprisoned in Two Liang Slope, our Red Star Empire."

"That's true." Zhao Xing suddenly realized.

"But he's locked up in Two Liang Slope now?" Zhao Xing remembered that Wu Tian wasn't locked up in Two Liang Slope, but then he thought that his timeline was different from his previous life, so it was normal for Wu Tian to be transferred to another prison later.

"Yes, that's right. He's stubborn and unyielding, a bit of a Divine Path, and has some methods to bewitch people. More than six hundred years ago, he was transferred to Two Liang Slope Prison. I don't know how he is now. I haven't been back for a long time either," Jing Yan said.

Making friends is definitely not a bad thing... Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Now we have a clue about Treasure Mountain Art's mission.

"He's in a bad situation too, getting stuck in Two Liang Slope," Zhao Xing spit out.

Two Liang Slope Prison is very special. No matter how great your supernatural powers or what level of cultivation you are, once you enter this prison, you will only weigh two ounces.

Ascension Realm warriors are already quite large, while Source Origin Realm are as large as mountains.

Even a mage at the Dao Domain Realm wouldn't be small in stature.

Once inside, I felt extremely uncomfortable, weighing only two ounces.

However, Zhao Xing had no such thoughts at the moment.

Two Liang Slope Prison is mobile, always carried by a powerful figure.

Each person only weighs two ounces, and the prison isn't very big either; it's just a ring on one's hand.

Breaking someone out of prison? That's absolutely impossible.

We'll only discuss this after Wu Tian is transferred and his status as a top-level serious offender is lowered.

"How did you come to this place to make your fortune?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Everyone needs to go out and see the world," Jing Yan said. "I left home a thousand years ago just to travel to all the countries in the Xuanling Star Domain."

"How did it go?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Not so great," Jing Yan laughed. "The capitals of many ancient kingdoms are dilapidated. Home is still the best."

Zhao Xing laughed it off.

Only the people of the Empire dared to say that the capital of the ancient kingdom was dilapidated.

That makes sense, as much of the data from the Desolate Territory Ancient Kingdoms Alliance must exclude the Red Star Empire.

What about population statistics, the construction of void passages, the production of various rare treasures, and the consumption of Divine Soldier and Daoist soldiers? If we include the Red Star Empire...

That average would be ridiculous.

The Red Star Empire has been artificially cultivating Fate Star. If the Empire's data is included, the Fate Star in the entire Xuanling Star Domain has been steadily increasing!

Excluding him means reducing him.

If the Red Star Empire were included, the Xuanling Star Domain wouldn't have become Desolate Territory at all!

Zhao Xing remembered one statistic very clearly: the Red Star Empire accounted for 70% of the number of precious plant life forms of King Grade and above!

Why is it so powerful? Because the Egoist Minister of Agriculture of the Crimson Star Empire is the strongest, and that is also the gathering place of the Egoist faction.

"Alright, enough about China, talking about it makes me a little homesick." Jing Yan patted his face. "Hey buddy, how about we explore some other places?"

"The Star Wheel Maze has been seen by many people. I've been in South Luo for 88 years, and I come here once every ten years, but I still can't figure it out."

Why don't we go explore other places together, like Crescent Moon Mountain? Maybe I can find the entrance there.

After spending these days together, Jing Yan truly came to regard Zhao Xing as a friend.

"Sure, but I'm in trouble, and I'm afraid I'll drag you into it," Zhao Xing said.

"What trouble? Who have you offended?" Jing Yan asked.

"A Dao Domain Realm," Zhao Xing said.

"Brother Zhao, you are indeed extraordinary," Jing Yan said. "To be able to offend Dao Domain Realm, you are no ordinary person either."

"But since you still dare to walk around outside, it proves that there's a limit to the level of trouble you can cause, right?"

In Jing Yan's understanding, offending someone in the Dao Domain Realm was a risky move, as those in the Dao Domain Realm were powerful and unlikely to take action personally.

" Those in the Third Realm can attack me." Zhao Xing nodded.

"Hey, I thought it was something serious." Jing Yan said nonchalantly, "If you and I join forces, we should have no problem surviving against the Third Realm."

"Besides, I'm an Imperial citizen. They wouldn't dare kill me casually; they might hesitate to do so."

"If there's really no other way, I can even be your corpse collector."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Upon hearing Jing Yan's words, Zhao Xing didn't mince words and immediately replied, "Since we've come this far, what else could I possibly object to?"

"Since Brother Jing is willing to help me get rich, I'm naturally happy to do so. But don't rush off yet."

"I've also figured out some of the tricks of the Star Wheel Maze."

"Oh?" Jing Yan perked up. "What do you mean?"

Zhao Xing led Jing Yan to a Gao Shan for observation.

"The maze of the Star Wheel Maze is the first challenge."

"Everyone suspects there's a tomb here, but they just can't find the entrance."

"South Luo Number 88 is a high-level Star Continent. Bombarding it indiscriminately won't work. It would take forever to find it. That's why many Third Realm left without even figuring it out."

"The difficulty of the maze lies in the inability to determine one's location; you go in, wander around, and then come out from another exit. During your adventure, you'll also encounter guardian beasts..."

"Being a tomb guard makes exploring this area less cost-effective."

"Not bad." Jing Yan nodded. "The exhaustive method is useless against the Star Wheel Maze. This is indeed a tough nut to crack."

"But if I can pinpoint the location, and given Brother Jing's expertise in Magic Array and formations, there's hope of opening this tomb."

Jing Yan looked at Zhao Xing: "Can you confirm the location? My star chart and Earth Vein chart are all messed up."

"I can." Zhao Xing nodded decisively. He had a map function on his panel, and the accompanying coordinates could confirm his location.

The map can't directly help him find the entrance, but confirming the direction can be a great help!

In the first two hundred years, Zhao Xing also encountered many strange tombs where Yin and Yang were not apparent and the Five Elements were nowhere to be found. He improved his efficiency by using maps to determine the location.

"What are we waiting for? Let's do it!" Jing Yan said excitedly. "I always thought I'd have good luck coming to the Star Wheel Maze this year, and it turns out it'll happen with you, hahaha."

The tombs of the Third Realm were certainly a temptation for Jing Yan.

Mechanism Master are rich, but Mechanism Master are also short of money!

Especially for the Dao Soldier Stream, the need for money is even greater!

Jing Yan was also an adventurous person, and the two hit it off immediately and began to explore the Star Wheel Maze.

Just after the two entered the Star Wheel Maze, South Luo Number 88, a large Realm Boat, landed on the Western Continent.

Small-scale adventures are usually carried out using small Realm Boat, because it is easier to pass through the Starry Sky Formation of the Yueluo Cemetery, and there are more void channels.

If it's a large Realm Boat, then it means the team is huge, requiring a large Realm Boat to store enough survival resources and spiritual energy.

They spent a long time at Yueluo Cemetery.

"Click~"

The hatch opened.

A group of attendants dressed in magnificent brocade robes and wearing golden crowns filed out.

They stood tall and straight, their steps perfectly synchronized, holding aloft bright Solar Yang lanterns that illuminated the surroundings as if it were daytime.

The surrounding environment automatically stabilized, and these palace lanterns seemed to contain miniature Solar Yang, filling the gap left by the lack of Sun Star on South Luo Number 88.

Surrounded by attendants, a tall young woman slowly appeared.

She wore a dark brocade robe with soaring celestial birds, the hem of which swayed gently as she moved, as if accompanied by wind and clouds.

The auspicious beast, the celestial bird, is lifelike, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, as if about to burst out of its robe, displaying supreme nobility.

She wore a jade belt adorned with countless dazzling gemstones around her waist. Each gemstone refracted a brilliant light under the lamplight, like twinkling stars in the night sky.

This ceremonial procession attracted the attention of many on the Western Continent.

"It is the Heavenly Moon World Ark of the Yue Tan Marquis Estate."

"The Heavenly Moon World Ark? Could this be Marquis Yue Tan?"

"It's Lu Yuehan, the daughter of the Yue Tan Marquis Estate. I heard she's a descendant who was separated from her family and returned to the Marquis's mansion 1,500 years ago."

"Such an air of importance! Having several Third Realm followers at the second realm level means he's quite favored by the Marquis's mansion."

"Marquis Yue Tan has many sons but very few daughters. He has only three legitimate daughters, two of whom are already married, leaving only Lu Yuehan. To make up for this, Marquis Yue Tan naturally dotes on her even more."

"Retract the probe; a powerful figure has cleared the area."

'...

All the spying devices and eyes were immediately withdrawn.

Before it could be retrieved, it was shattered and taken away by the powerful figure next to Lu Yuehan.

A steward at the Third Realm accompanied Lu Yuehan and respectfully asked, "Miss, we are already at South Luo Number 88. Two Third Realm tombs have been unearthed on this Star Continent.

"There are sixteen suspected burial sites in total. Which one would you like to explore first, Miss?"

Lu Yuehan stood on a gorgeous carpet. She stood proudly in the center of the crowd, her face as beautiful as jade, her swan-like neck fair and translucent, exuding nobility and aloofness.

Beneath his high, straight nose, his thin lips were slightly upturned, carrying a faint smile that made it difficult to discern his true emotions.

"Mr. Hong, I don't have any particular preference, but I've heard that adventurers who come to South Luo Number 88 usually visit the Star Wheel Maze first."

Hong Qi nodded. "Okay, Miss, let's go check out the Star Wheel Maze first."

With a gentle wave of his hand, a team immediately went to clear the way.

Hong Qi is a preacher and scholar at the Third Realm. Many of the people around him are also at the Third Realm, including Mechanism Master, martial artists, Agricultural Official, and Fate Master, making for a complete lineup.

The equipment is also quite good; they are all medium-sized Realm Boat used for flying.

Upon arriving at the mountain range where the Star Wheel Maze was located, Hong Qi and his group immediately ordered, "Gao You, have the Yuan Di Army seal off the entire area of Star Wheel Maze. No one is allowed to enter or leave."

"Yes." A martial artist in the Third Realm immediately led his men and flew out.

Hong Qi has a high level of authority; he directly mobilized an army to provide protection. If he said he wanted to seal off the area, then this place was immediately turned into a restricted zone.

"Wang Yun, Zeng Zhuo." Hong Qi then looked at a Mechanism Master and Fate Master. "You two quickly Reconnaissance Star Wheel Maze. Within three years, I need to see a solution, but don't break all the Magic Array at once. Let the young lady experience the joy of solving puzzles, understand?"

"Yes." The two of them also flew out.

Hong Qi issued a series of orders, and the entire team quickly sprang into action.

After giving his instructions, Hong Qi went back to talk to Lu Yuehan.

Time passed, and Zhao Xing and Jing Yan had been exploring the maze for three months.

At this time, the two were unaware that the Star Wheel Maze had been sealed off and were still focused on their exploration.

With Zhao Xing's location confirmed, Jing Yan, the Mechanism Master, was able to easily overcome the small traps in the maze.

On the 95th day, they discovered that the endless maze walls before them had disappeared, and they had appeared in a wide underground space.

"Brother Zhao is awesome!" Jing Yan couldn't help but exclaim. "You are truly the least likely Agricultural Official, hahaha."

"Lost? Who do you think you are?" Zhao Xing laughed. These past three months haven't been easy for them either. Although there haven't been any major dangers, there have been constant small traps and obstacles, keeping them on edge.

After all, it is the tomb of a third-realm, self-centered farmer, and self-centered farmers are usually very wealthy, so the tomb's mechanisms and formations are of a significantly higher standard.

"First Stage cleared, let me see what other mysteries await." Jing Yan waved his hand, and tens of thousands of small spheres flew out from his body.

The sphere emitted light, illuminating the darkness beneath the earth, while simultaneously scanning the surrounding terrain.

Having a friend who is Mechanism Master is very convenient; Zhao Xing quickly saw the situation in the dark underground space.

Strange towers appeared underground, arranged in an orderly fashion. The roads in the middle of the towers were flat, like a passage carved out of the middle of a mountain.

"There are things inside the tower, the puppets guarding the tomb," Zhao Xing pointed. "Brother Jing, is it possible to disable them without waking them up?"

Zhao Xing knew very well that these tomb-guarding puppets were all at the second level of strength!

If they were allowed to come out of the tower, it would be very difficult for them to deal with.

Jing Yan smiled slightly, "At this time, I have to mention my famous supernatural skill, the Military Tactics Prohibition."
