Great Scholar Zhuo En, Will Mystic Power in Hand, Zhao Xing's Intimidation!

"Illusion Curse?" Jing Yan's expression changed upon hearing this. "My friends have all stayed here and haven't gone out. How could they be under Illusion Curse!"

Envoy Cang Yu's face was grim. Although he was merely a spirit skilled in processing information, not a powerful "battle spirit," Zhao Xing was, after all, Illusion Curse within his Origin Sea Hall, which was not good for the reputation of the Origin Sea Hall.

Du Yun's face also darkened. He had only gone out to pick someone up when Zhao Xing ran into trouble. He had been protecting Zhao Xing, and now he felt ashamed.

"Can you solve it?" Du Yun asked.

"Difficult." The scholar pointed to his head. "The way of sorcery is inherently difficult to master, and it is even more difficult for outsiders to understand it, let alone a Mind Curse Master."

"How could this be? Is there no cure for his illness?" Jing Yan asked anxiously.

"I'm not sick," Zhao Xing said, frowning. "I'm just—"

Du Yun waved his hand, sealing Zhao Xing's entire body and turning him into a wooden puppet.

"He's absolutely right." The scholar glanced at Zhao Xing. "The influence on the mind and will is not a visible injury."

"Being influenced in one's mind and will can lead to changes in personality and an expansion of desires. This is not considered an illness, at least not in the conventional sense."

"Some emperors were wise and powerful in their early years, but became tyrannical and cruel in their later years, often doing things that were difficult for outsiders to understand."

"It's not a form of harm, just an effect. That's why it can bypass the Starry Sky Fortress's defense system."

"This Mind Illusionist is highly skilled. I think he probably wanted to capture Zhao Xing alive, otherwise he would already be dead. Everyone has their own expertise. Just like Du Yun, you can be invincible among your peers in the Grand Mystic Power Realm, and even kill those in the Dao Domain Realm. This Mind Illusionist's methods are also almost unbreakable among those of the same level."

It was very complicated. Du Yun, Cang Yu, and Jing Yan found it complicated and found it difficult to understand the existence of Mind Curse Master.

Du Yun grasped the key point. "Difficult doesn't mean impossible. Master Zhuo, do you have a way to solve this problem?"

Zhuo En nodded. "Yes, the simplest way is to isolate and supervise them."

"The Illusion Curse has a limited duration; its effects are only temporary. Just like someone who has experienced a dramatic change, although they are initially shocked, they will eventually recover and regain their senses once they are isolated from the source of the shock."

Du Yun thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, let's choose another one."

After Zhao Xing made the deal with him, he was afflicted by Illusion Curse. If Du Yun didn't cure Zhao Xing, he would have no face to show in the universe.

Zhuo En nodded and said, "Then leave him to me. I can help him recover, but I'll need your cooperation."

"How can I cooperate?" Du Yun asked.

Zhuo En pointed to the starry sky. "Besides needing a medium, controlling the distance is also very important for Illusion Curse. Based on the defense system of the Hutou Star Continent, this Dao Domain Realm spellcaster should be hiding within 0.5 star sectors."

"Whether you kill him or drive him away, it will help me."

"Afterwards, I spent five hundred thousand years of cultivation to transfer the curse on his body to you."

You'll share the burden.

"The Illusion Curse has a greater effect on him, but it has no effect on you."

"However, the prerequisite for casting this spell is that you must drive him away or kill him."

Du Yun said menacingly, "Fine, let's do it this way!"

The spirit Cang Yu immediately stated, "I will fully cooperate with the Lord of the Manor and keep my mouth shut."

Du Yun nodded slightly, and then disappeared with Cang Yu.

"I'm going out too," Jing Yan said readily.

"No, you stay," Zhuo En said. "Be my assistant; I might need you to attack him."

"Yes." Jing Yan then stayed.

This was a quiet room, and Zhuo En was not idle either. He waved his hand, and a life-sized clock immediately appeared in front of Zhao Xing.

There are twelve two-hour periods: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai.

The large engraved plate also has markings for spring, summer, autumn, winter, and the five elements.

A chaotic aura flowed across the plate, eventually condensing into a pointer.

The aura emanating from the pointer gradually synchronized with Zhao Xing's aura.

Jing Yan was surprised to find that there were two Zhao Xing in his perception.

If you don't look at it with the naked eye, the clock is like another living Zhao Xing.

Zhuo En glanced at Jing Yan, who seemed about to speak, and couldn't help but smile slightly, "You're quite good. Which part of the Red Star Empire are you from?"

"Beiye Star System, sir," Jing Yan replied respectfully.

"I've been to your hometown capital," Zhuo En recalled. "It's a very nice place."

Thank you for your compliment.

"Ask me anything you want to ask." Zhuo En sat down on a stool.

"Sir, what is this for?" Jing Yan pointed to the clock.

"The Inner Heaven and Earth Clock," Zhuo En replied. "He was affected by the Illusion Curse, and his physical body also experienced some problems."

"His mind and will were affected, and he was constantly in a state of excitement and tension. His body, acupoints, spiritual power, and primordial energy were all in a boiling battle state."

"It's fine if it's only for a short time, but if it goes on for too long, it will affect his cultivation."

Jing Yan silently cursed a long string of words.

Zhuo En chuckled, because Jing Yan's curses were very vulgar.

Beyond the Hutou Star Continent, in the cosmic sky, on a meteorite.

Jiu looked at the large group of Star Patrol General and Mechanism Puppet puppets that appeared in front of her.

"We've been discovered."

Such a large-scale operation on the Hutou Star Continent could not be kept from Jiu, and he also sensed that Du Yun had joined forces with several Dao Domain Realm to clear the area.

It's obvious this is an attempt to force him to leave.

"I've been so discreet, yet I was still discovered." Wei Jiu wasn't disappointed; the universe is full of surprises.

He accepted the task because he thought it was simple and not very dangerous.

As Mind Curse Master, he can cast spells from afar, and whether they succeed or fail, it's difficult for others to detect him.

Their profession involves very covert spellcasting techniques.

"We'll have to wait for another opportunity."

Jiu immediately activated the Realm Boat to travel through the area and leave the clearing zone.

However, Jiu was also well aware that with the other party already on guard, it would be quite difficult to find another opportunity in the short term.

"Compared to fighting Du Yun, losing a little deposit is nothing." Jiu was quite clear-headed; he wouldn't go head-to-head with Du Yun for 150 billion Red Star Coin.

"The area within half a star sector has already been cleared once," Cang Yu reported to Du Yun. "Lord, should we check again?"

"No need." Du Yun shook his head. He fled immediately after failing to strike. His opponent was obviously a professional. Without preparation, it would be difficult to catch a Dao Domain Realm sorcerer in the public star sea area, unless he had already "seen" him.

Once Du Yun sees them, it will be very difficult for someone at the Five Elements Dao Domain Realm to escape.

Now that we can't even see the people, there's no way to catch them.

"Du Yun, I sense the power of the Illusion Curse weakening," Zhuo En's voice rang in his ears. "That person should be gone."

"To prevent him from returning, I will patrol the starry sky," Du Yun said to Cang Yu. "The rest of you can go back now. Don't delay the important matters of the ancient kingdom."

"Lin Hou, Brother Hai, thank you." Du Yun then cupped his hands in thanks to the other two Dao Domain Realm.

"You're too Guest Qi, Lord." The other two Dao Domain Realm cupped their hands in greeting. Although they were a realm higher than Du Yun, their combat strength was far inferior to Du Yun's.

Not everyone possesses Major Divine Ability. They have all passed through the stage of Minor Divine Ability and then tried to open up their Dao Domain and achieve the Dao Domain Realm, which is less difficult.

The distinction between the Minor Mystic Power Realm in the Third Realm is solely for differentiating between geniuses and ordinary cultivators.

"Whoosh~"

Du Yun transformed into a beam of light and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Gone." In the blink of an eye, Lin Hou could no longer catch a trace of Du Yun.

"The speed at the Source Origin Realm stage, regardless of special treasures, is normally 1-10 times the speed of light, but Du Yun has exceeded 80 times the speed of light." Another Dao Domain Realm expert said enviously, "The speed becomes more and more difficult to improve as you progress. Du Yun truly deserves to be the genius chosen by the Origin Heavenly Palace."

"Let's go, Brother Lin."

The two stopped there; they were completely unable to track Du Yun's movements.

"Tap~ Tap~" The pointer started jumping.

Zhuo En placed the sleeping Zhao Xing in mid-air. His body was taut and straight, as if he had become a pointer, rotating slightly in the air.

With each rotation, Zhao Xing's breathing slowed down, his heart rate and spiritual energy circulation decreased, and the primordial light released from the Purple Yin and Purple Yang Star Acupoints was no longer dazzling.

"Metaphor~"

A thousand days later, Zhao Xing's temple underwent a powerful release.

After that, his breathing calmed down completely and became even.

"Wake up!"

Zhuo En's voice entered Zhao Xing's mind.

A moment later, Zhao Xing slowly opened his eyes.

He saw Du Yun beside him, as well as Jing Yan and Zhuo En, and the strangely shaped clock.

"How are you?" Du Yun asked.

At this point, Zhuo En had completed the two processes of conditioning his body and transferring the spell.

"I feel like I'm having a dream," Zhao Xing, somewhat bewildered.

"What did you dream about?" Zhuo En asked.

"I dreamt that I found a priceless treasure outside and became Dao Domain Realm —but the dream was very tense, giving me a sense of pressure, like winning the lottery and having insomnia, feeling both scared and excited—but now I feel relieved." Zhao Xing stretched his body, "My mind is very relaxed."

Listening to Zhao Xing's description, Du Yun looked at Zhuo En and asked, "Is he better?"

"I'm not sure what kind of person he used to be, or if his personality has changed," Zhuo En said. "However,"

At least he won't act recklessly because of the illusions conveyed by the Illusion Curse. He's essentially returned to normal.

Jing Yan walked up to Zhao Xing: "Do you remember me?"

Zhao Xing thought for a moment, "I remember, you were in this dream, and you even stabbed me twice — thank you."

"Damn, that scared the hell out of me." Jing Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, let's not let him think about this for now." Zhuo En waved his hand and pulled Jing Yan away.

"Zhao Xing, this isn't a dream, but for now, treat it like a nightmare. Let it go and don't think about it." Zhuo En stared at Zhao Xing. "Do you know the Memory Sealing Method? If not, I can teach you."

"I will." Zhao Xing nodded, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and the memory of 'serendipity' gradually faded from his mind.

"Thank you, Lord of the Manor, thank you, Mr. Zhuo." Zhao Xing bowed deeply, though he still didn't know what was going on.

However, he knew he had survived a ordeal.

"You don't need to thank me," Du Yun said. "Forget it, now's not the right time to talk about those things. You should stay here and learn from Mr. Zhuo."

"Come find me again after you've finished your studies."

"Yes."

"Jing Yan, you should leave too." Du Yun looked at Jing Yan.

"Zhao Xing, remember to send me a message when you get out," Jing Yan said.

"Good."

Soon only Zhuo En and Zhao Xing remained in the room.

"Du Yun invited me here to give you a profound enlightenment as a preacher," Zhuo En said. "My preaching only gives each person one chance, unless I can take two more steps and reach the Reincarnation Realm."

Zhao Xing nodded slightly.

Through the panel's detection, he saw Zhuo En's name and profession, as well as his Yin Yang Dao Domain Realm realm information.

"You cultivate both the Yin and Yang origins, and the techniques you've learned are Purple Yin and Purple Yang?"

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded, indicating that scholars who preach the Dao must be honest about the cultivation methods they practice.

"You can show me the path you've walked."

Zhao Xing waved his hand, and then the two origins of purple yin and purple yang began to entangle in the air.

The Origin Dao involves the utilization of spiritual energy, and it is almost entirely based on the simulation and fusion of the original spiritual energy of the Solar Yang and the original spiritual energy of the Lunar Yin.

Despite all the variations, the fundamental principles remain the same; all cultivation methods cannot escape these two origins.

Zhuo En nodded. "To think of using the Origin Sea World's True Self Faction techniques to balance the Yin and Yang origins and achieve a perfect balance in the Attaining Dao body, your aptitude and comprehension are quite good."

Zhao Xing isn't stupid, which is good news for Zhuo En.

At least he can save some effort and time.

If he's a fool, he'll have to expend a lot of effort.

"Leaving aside the Dao Domain Realm, even without hiring Teaching Dharma Master, you can still cultivate to the Third Realm in a few thousand years," Zhuo En commented.

"But there are also drawbacks to using the Origin Sea World to balance the Timing Cultivation Method and earth."

Zhao Xing's eyes narrowed. "Please enlighten me, sir."

"That's your Timing Cultivation Method, forever bound to the True Self Faction's techniques." Zhuo En pointed to a pattern resembling a Tai Chi symbol.

"The Purple Yin and Purple Yang Cultivation Method was created to help people better comprehend the two top-tier source stars of the Purple God Star System."

"You are using the inner world of the ego school to balance the purple yin and purple yang, which is tantamount to taking a shortcut."

"In the short term, you may be able to take Shortcut to improve quickly, but in reality, your understanding of the Heavenly Timing and circumstances is not profound."

"Your physical body will inevitably encounter a greater bottleneck in the future."

"Furthermore, the Origin Sea World is a cultivation technique created by a member of the royal family of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, and it can only be cultivated up to the Third Realm."

"The techniques of the True Self Faction are hard to find. Even if you can switch to a more advanced technique in the future, you may not be able to continue to improve by copying it exactly."

"You haven't truly achieved comprehensive cultivation; you've only focused on cultivating your Way of the True Self. The advancements in the Time Faction's techniques are merely a side effect of your advancement in your Way of the True Self. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhao Xing pondered Zhuo En's words and fell into deep thought.

"I understand, sir."

"There are no Shortcut to the great path," Zhuo En said leisurely. "Those who try to take shortcuts are all following unorthodox methods, and there is a risk of Going Berserk."

"Of course, if you can get through this, then pretend I didn't say anything."

Zhao Xing smiled upon hearing this. If he could emerge from this situation, he would be a pioneer, creating a new martial art.

Zhuo En isn't arguing with him about right or wrong now, but rather about the pros and cons.

"You can retain your own understanding." Zhuo En waved his hand. "My Enlightenment Realm can help you simply comprehend the Way of Heavenly Timing and Earth, allowing your Dao to reach the Third Realm level."

Zhao Xing Zhuo En's meaning: to break through without resorting to tricks, that is, not to rely on the "Origin Sea World" for checks and balances.

This does not hinder his current path, and he can continue this balance if he wants to in the future.

In this way, the Way of Heavenly Timing is a truly independent and powerful path for Zhao Xing, not an appendage of the Way of the True Self.

Zhuo En waved his hand, and a portal of light appeared in front of Zhao Xing.

It is half dark purple and half bright purple.

There is a star floating on both the left and right sides.

"This is the Enlightenment Realm I offer you."

"It is expected that within fifty years, your Heavenly Timing efforts will enable you to reach the Third Realm."

"After that, we will proceed with the teaching of the 'Dharma'."

Zhao Xing thought for a moment and asked, "Sir, could you teach me the first level of the ' Extreme Land ' technique so I can complete my breakthrough?"

Zhuo En countered with, "What do you think?"

Zhao Xing was a little embarrassed. He cupped his hands in greeting to Zhuo En and then went into the portal.

Such a cultivation method as "Extreme Land" could not possibly be taught by scholars who preach the Dao.

Even if Zhuo En knew how, he wouldn't dare to do it.

The cultivation method they use to select geniuses is essentially a system of assessment that touches upon the very foundation of their rule. Who would dare to disrupt it?

The Enlightenment Realm attained by preachers is known as the Gate of All Wonders.

Because it is very mysterious and highly efficient.

Every preacher's Enlightenment Realm is different.

After Zhao Xing went inside, he saw another version of himself.

He stands between heaven and earth, his Dao body reaching tens of thousands of kilometers in height.

The two auras around him were like chaotic currents, and his physique was perfect. When Zhao Xing looked over, every inch of his muscles, blood vessels, and acupoints were presented before his eyes.

The spiritual energy intertwined with the body, and the 840 million stars seemed to be a real and tangible existence.

The entire Dao body was like a profound Daoist diagram, presented to him from different angles.

"Is this me in the Third Realm?"

Zhao Xing quickly understood Zhuo En's abilities.

"I can completely feel that these principles resonate perfectly with me; the Daoist rhythm in my every gesture originates from me."

But he is stronger than me.

With a stronger version of himself as a reference, Zhao Xing only needs to cultivate according to the model.

What does it mean to "point out a clear path"? This is it.

Even the most foolish person cannot be unfamiliar with their own path of cultivation; preaching and teaching are like feeding food into their mouth.

"Fifty years? It won't take that long at all." Zhao Xing immediately sat down to ponder.

The spiritual energy here is abundant. If we compare spiritual energy to building materials, there is no need to worry about materials at all.

Before the advent of missionaries, there was a fear of making mistakes when building houses; now, there is absolutely no possibility of making mistakes.

Because there's a leader in front, you can just do what he does.

"This is such a foolproof teaching method."

Zhao Xing sensed his cultivation level rising rapidly and couldn't help but sigh.

Within the Enlightenment Realm, one's own power is changing almost constantly.

The progress of Purple Yin and Purple Yang jumped from 62% to 63% in the blink of an eye.

When spiritual energy enters the body and transforms into one's own power, it proves that one has taken the right path to enlightenment. When energy and body merge, they become a power that one can use. This is the "Origin of Spiritual Energy," also known as the Source Origin Realm.

Zhao Xing is on the path of magic, and at this First Tier he doesn't need to fuse his soul like a martial artist, so his progress is quite fast.

It only took him seven years to reach 90% of the target.

In the ninth year, progress was 99%.

After that, it reached 100% without any obstacles.

Break through directly!

"Boom!"

The 840 million stars within the Dao body lit up simultaneously, and the vortex in Zhao Xing's dantian transformed from a gray expanse into a brilliant nebula.

The 840 million primordial stars have become completely solidified, no longer as illusory as before.

Zhao Xing felt that his understanding of the Five Elements Great Dao, Yin-Yang Great Dao Life Great Dao, and all the Great Daos in the universe had become clearer.

"With the transformation of my Dao body, casting spells is easier because the area of my Dao field has become larger," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "My current Dao field can already encompass a medium-sized Realm Star."

"With a single thought, the Boundary Wall between intermediate- Realm Star and small worlds will be rejected by my dojo."

"I am no longer subject to the Boundary Rules of the small world; on the contrary, my dojo can replace the Boundary Rules."

What does this mean? It means he became the 'controller of the Heavenly Dao' in that world.

The path of a martial artist is the path that can shatter that small world, which is equivalent to proving the path with force.

Both paths have their advantages, but magic-based methods have the edge in terms of control, because martial artists can only shatter, not control with a single thought.

However, when a martial artist enters the Third Realm, their Golden Body unlocks the treasures of their physical body, giving birth to Innate Divine Power. The path of magic, however, cannot be born because it has not been integrated with the soul.

Without the fusion of the soul and spirit, the body of the Dao remains merely a mortal flesh.

Name: Zhao Xing

Occupation: Agricultural Official

[Realm: Third Realm (Minor Mystic Power Realm)]

[Dojo: Mid- Realm Star, First Tier]

Age: 2031

[Remaining lifespan: 1.9 epochs]

"I can live for two epochs. The maximum lifespan of the Third Realm can reach three epochs," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"Buzz~"

Sensing Zhao Xing's breakthrough, Zhuo En quickly withdrew his Enlightenment Realm.

"Not bad, faster than I expected."

A hint of admiration flashed in Zhuo En's eyes.

He was very satisfied with Zhao Xing's performance.

It was projected to take fifty years to achieve a breakthrough, but it happened in less than ten years.

"Thank you for your teachings, sir." Zhao Xing bowed again.

He progressed from the late stage of the second realm to perfection, and then broke through to a higher realm without any bottlenecks; it was a natural progression.

If he were to cultivate on his own, it would take an unknown amount of time.

"No need for formalities," Zhuo En said. "That was just the appetizer; the real preaching is about to begin."

Zhao Xing was also somewhat excited.

Yes, for those on the path of magic, the enlightenment from preachers is certainly not as simple as just enabling physical breakthroughs.

The path of magic emphasizes the law!

In other words, Zhuo En would only complete a full transmission of his teachings if he taught Zhuo En a supernatural ability.

Zhuo En explained, "I know about half of all the supernatural abilities that the Desolate Territory Ancient Kingdoms Alliance can pass on. Of course, I will know less of the more obscure and rare ones."

"You can specify yourself, or you can choose from me."

Zhao Xing perked up. If this were a game, it would be like drawing skills from NPCs!

However, the upper limit is the Minor Divine Ability level; the Major Divine Ability level cannot be reached through the transmission of knowledge.

"You can think about it first."

Zhao Xing currently possesses four supernatural powers. The first is the "Three Gods Fate Palace," Major Divine Ability called "Reincarnation" originating from the Reincarnation Temple.

Secondly, there is "Soul Heaven Vision," a theoretical supernatural power created by Su Wan'er, which is also a detection-type supernatural power method based on the Three Gods Fate Palace, and was learned by Zhao Xing.

Third is "The Purple Light Eight Disciplines," about Qing Yuzi's Minor Divine Ability.

Fourth is "The Marrow Extraction Divine Power".

I have obtained the method of "Giant Yang Straw Man Art," but I have not yet mastered it to the level of supernatural powers; I am only at the stage of the Void Law.

The Giant Yang Straw Man Art is relatively uncommon, and Zhao Xing guessed that Zhuo En wouldn't know it.

Even if he knew it, Zhao Xing wouldn't choose to improve this skill.

It would be such a waste to miss this opportunity; of course, a new and better course is needed.

"If you don't know how to choose, I have a special skill to recommend to you," Zhuo En said.

"Please enlighten me, sir," Zhao Xing said respectfully.

"Your mental willpower is completely untrained," Zhuo En said. "In my opinion, it's rather poor."

"You're right." After this ordeal, Zhao Xing also realized that this was a weakness of his.

Because in the cosmic version, he leveled up too quickly and never underwent similar training.

The Three Gods Fate Palace Powers cannot be classified under the category of Mind and Will.

The soul refers to the Fate Soul, the Heavenly Soul, and the earthly soul. Although they are related, they should not be confused.

A powerful soul offers advantages in calculation and deduction, and also in direct, head-on soul attacks. However, a powerful soul does not equate to a steadfast will or a strong mind.

Disciples of major families should receive this kind of training during the Origin Stage. For example, Jing Yan, when he was exploring tombs...

Despite being affected by the Mi Luo Flower, he remained calm and unperturbed.

Because of his unwavering will, he did not utter a sound even when faced with the erosion of pain. He was able to resist the intense suffering, control his power, and unleash his supernatural abilities.

Later, when faced with Wang Yun's sudden appearance, Jing Yan dared to stand in front of him. Facing a strong opponent, he was always ready to retaliate, which was a manifestation of his mental will.

Jing Yan had received special training and learned the methods in this area, but Zhao Xing had not.

Zhao Xing shouldn't have neglected this aspect of training, but since entering the universe version, he really hasn't been able to find the time to cultivate this kind of technique.

The Three Shennong Factions alone have enough techniques and methods, and the cultivation of the mind and will takes a long time; it is itself a form of Ascetic Practice practice. Zhao Xing's energy is limited, and he simply cannot manage to do all of them.

"If you want to learn this, I have three supernatural powers for you to choose from," Zhuo En said. "You can listen to them first before making a decision."

"Thank you, sir." Zhao Xing bowed.

"The first method is called ' Spiritual Rhinoceros Foundation.' This supernatural power focuses on cultivating one's own mind. There are three levels of supernatural power. When you reach the end, your will will be like a millstone. Any illusion or spell will be crushed by the Spiritual Rhinoceros. However, this method will be somewhat painful. When I teach this method, and after I teach it, you will have to endure pain for a period of time."

"The second technique, ' Slaughter Thought Blade,' cultivates the will to kill. When the mind is infected by the killing intent, it becomes like a sharp blade, cutting through all illusions. It is primarily for offense. It is an external cultivation method. You need to engage in many killings, immersing yourself in and absorbing the killing intent to hone your mind."

"The third technique, the Yin Yang Spirit Heart Curse, is the most accomplished of all supernatural powers. It has a subsequent stage, the renowned Profound Spirit Divine Curse, which is said to have been created by the God of Souls, ' Xuan Zhuo.'"

After a pause, Zhuo En added, "My research in this area is quite good. If I teach you any one of the three supernatural powers, you will immediately reach the third level or above."

Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised; Zhuo En was indeed quite strong.

Typically, preachers teach people supernatural powers, specifically the First Tier supernatural powers, which is the initial stage.

Zhuo En, however, was able to guide people to a minor level of mastery.

Acquiring magical powers is more difficult than acquiring martial arts powers, and passing them on is even more difficult. It truly is a case of getting what you pay for.

Zhao Xing immediately began to think.

He definitely wouldn't touch the Profound Spirit Divine Curse, and he'd never even heard of any Soul God.

He will not learn anything related to God, or any God he does not know, no matter how powerful the God is.

Therefore, Zhao Xing did not choose the seemingly strongest of the three, the Yin Yang Spirit Heart Curse.

Zhao Xing wanted both "Lingxi" and "Slaughter Thought Blade".

However, the "Spiritual Rhinoceros Foundation" would affect his actions in the short term, and was eventually ignored by Zhao Xing.

"I choose ' Slaughter Thought Blade '."

Killing can train you? That's the easiest and quickest way. Zhao Xing can find or find other wild animals to kill.

There are many options for practicing.

Zhuo En was somewhat surprised to hear Zhao Xing's decision.

However, he didn't want to know what Zhao Xing was thinking.

After all, he was just completing a transaction.

"Have you thought it through?" Zhuo En asked again.

"I confirm."

Zhuo En's aura suddenly became incredibly terrifying.

In Zhao Xing's eyes, the gentle scholar Zhuo En suddenly transformed into a half-human, half-beast figure.

He possessed a massive body and strong muscles, clad in a red battle robe, and wielded various ferocious weapons.

He has multiple arms, wielding weapons such as battle axes, spears, or greatswords.

At this moment, Zhuo En's face was fierce, and his eyes revealed endless bloodlust.

"This is a divine power of the Asura Race," Zhuo En's voice was icy. "I copied 178 of them from the Asura Race's ruins."

The Daoist essence of the Asura Race's warrior earth element was condensed and formed.

"Each of them is at the Dao Domain Realm or the Grand Mystic Power Realm, and has killed countless lives."

As Zhuo En described it, Zhao Xing seemed to see a scene of carnage.

Chaos, destruction!

Before his eyes, it seemed as if raging fires were burning, collapsing mountains and shattered earth were filled with an aura of death and fear.

Mountains of corpses and seas of blood piled up like countless planets, each blood-red planet magnified before his eyes, a hellish scene that assaulted his mind.

"Metaphor~"

A crimson aura enveloped Zhao Xing.

The extremely rich blood and qi surrounded Zhao Xing, forming a blood cocoon.

A hint of paleness appeared on Zhuo En's face.

For him, preaching was also a burden.

Whether you reach the third or Mystic Power Sixth Tier depends on your own destiny.

Zhuo En thought to himself.

He cultivated the other two supernatural powers on his own, but this one, because it required killing, was something he couldn't cultivate on his own.

This supernatural ability was also a power he obtained from the ruins of the Asura Race. It was a supernatural ability that allowed him to carry the essence of the Dao within his soul and imprint it into his own body. This was one of the scholar's innate abilities.

In terms of sheer skill level, among the three methods, Zhuo En's is actually the strongest, having reached the point of perfect supernatural power.

As a transit point, he is now imparting his knowledge to Zhao Xing, whose final realm will be higher than the other two.

Zhao Xing unintentionally made a choice that maximized his profits.

Three years later, the blood cocoon gradually became transparent and eventually disappeared.

Zhao Xing opened his eyes, and a blood-red blade flashed in them.

The world within the cultivation space trembled and distorted.

The stability of the void can be affected solely by the will of the mind!

This is supernatural power!

"Fifth level of supernatural power."

Zhao Xing felt that everything was different, even though his cultivation level and spiritual power remained unchanged.

But he has indeed become stronger, his mind and will interfere with reality, and his dojos will all be imbued with the characteristics of killing magic.

"This deal was incredibly profitable."

"If I were to learn it myself, I'm afraid it would take me ten thousand years to master it."

The cultivation of the mind and will is a slow and painstaking process, and only in cases like those of preachers and scholars can countless hours be saved.

"The transaction is complete, and all debts are settled." Zhuo En looked at Zhao Xing.

"The transaction is complete, and the cause and effect are settled." Zhao Xing repeated.

This is the procedure that follows after preaching.

However, Zhao Xing still bowed to Zhuo En to express his gratitude.

Zhuo En didn't say much, nodded, and disappeared from the spot.

"Du Yun." Zhuo En appeared inside the Yellow Sand Mansion.

"Mr. Zhuo, is it over?" Du Yun asked.

"Mm." Zhuo En nodded.

"What did he choose?" Du Yun asked.

"A divine power of willpower," Zhuo En said.

"Alright."

Du Yun didn't ask any further questions, as this was, after all, Zhao Xing's private matter.

"Du Yun, I'm leaving here," Zhuo En said. "I'm going back to the Origin Heavenly Palace."

"Mr. Zhuo, are you in such a hurry?" Du Yun was taken aback.

"The Desolate Territory Ancient Kingdoms Alliance will soon hold its third Spirit Domain Dharma Assembly," Zhuo En said. "The venue will most likely be one of the three ancient kingdoms: Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, Flame Moon Ancient Kingdom, Purple Wing Ancient Kingdom. I need to return as soon as possible to try and secure the opportunity to host the assembly in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom."

The purpose of the Spirit Domain Dharma Assembly held by the Alliance is only one: to introduce new spells, artifacts, Magic Array, and formations to combat the Desolate Territory.

"I'll take you back, sir," Du Yun said.

"No need," Zhuo En said. "The time is earlier than expected, and I can go back with King Tianji's caravan." "In that case, I won't keep you any longer," Du Yun cupped his hands in greeting.

Zhuo En thought for a moment and said to Du Yun, "Du Yun, I still owe you a favor. There are some things I don't know whether I should say or not, and I don't know if saying them will be good or bad for you."

Du Yun pondered, "Sir, what percentage of what you said would be good, and what percentage would be bad?"

Zhuo En pinched his fingers. "I did a divination for you when I came, but I didn't see anything at the time, so I could only do a half divination."

Now that I've added it, it's a 60/40 split between good and bad, so I think I can tell you about it.

Du Yun said, "Please speak, sir."

Zhuo En said, "Zhao Xing is both a big problem and a big benefit to you."

Du Yun was slightly taken aback, not expecting that Zhuo En's calculations would involve Zhao Xing.

"Trouble can be a matter of life and death, and so can good."

Zhuo En continued, "I can't quite figure out what it is, but my advice is that you either stay completely away from him or protect him to the death. Don't waver, otherwise—"

"Otherwise what?"

"Life and death are unpredictable."

Du Yun's expression turned extremely solemn; he hadn't expected Zhuo En to give such an answer.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Since trouble involves life and death, so does benefit.

If one wavers, then life and death become unpredictable.

"Thank you for your kind words, sir." Du Yun cupped his hands in greeting. "My relationship with you is now settled, sir."

Zhuo En nodded and then disappeared from the mansion.

After Zhao Xing completed the "Slaughter Thought Blade", he immediately recalled what had happened before.

"Zhuo En said I was under Illusion Curse, and I also sensed that I was being plotted against when I was in South Luo."

"Then this operation must have been orchestrated by the He Yin Marquis of the Dongyan Ancient Clan once again."

"If I had left Hutou Star Continent back then, it would have been like Tang Sanzang leaving the protective circle drawn by Sun Wukong."

"This is outrageous!"

Zhao Xing's eyes were somewhat cold.

He himself had never even met the He Yin Marquis of the Dongyan Ancient Clan, yet he had been assassinated twice by him in the thousand years since he came to the universe.

This time, the chances of dying were even closer!

Now that Zhao Xing has truly come to his senses, he can't help but feel a lingering fear.

Once captured, he will surely die.

The He Yin Marquis will surely force him to reveal all his secrets, and then kill all his relatives, friends, and people from the Great Zhou, erasing all traces.

Zhao Xing immediately found Jing Yan.

"Jing Yan".

"Zhao Xing, you've emerged from seclusion?" Jing Yan asked with some delight. "Hey, I've reached the Third Realm. Not bad. Looks like I need to break through as soon as possible."

"Jing Yan, since you are a member of the royal family and a Mechanism Master, you should have the Empire's exclusive encrypted mechanical weapon on you, right?"

"Yes, it's called the ' Red Star Disk.' The Empire has its own encrypted cluster mechanisms Magic Array in various ancient kingdoms."

Jing Yan said.

"Does Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom have a spy agency?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Don't put it so harshly," Jing Yan said. "Intelligence... I mean the intelligence department!"

Aren't they all the same?

"Okay, intelligence department."

"Why are you asking this?"

"I'll give you a piece of code. Help me figure out a way to have an encrypted communication with him," Zhao Xing said. "And then investigate some other things—."

"Okay, no problem. What effect do you want to achieve?" Jing Yan asked.

"It was quite unexpected," Zhao Xing said.

"No problem," Jing Yan said. "Give me half a month to prepare, but you'll have to provide some funding."

"Name your price," Zhao Xing said confidently. "I can afford it."

"Alright, then I'll make some extra money for the guys in the intelligence department." Jing Yan grinned and immediately went to contact people.

The code Zhao Xing gave to Jing Yan was "Yin Hou," one of the two people who had contacted Purple Bone back then.

He was certain that this person was definitely from the He Yin Marquis's faction.

Now, Zhao Xing wants to talk to the He Yin Marquis. He can't remain passive any longer, or he doesn't know if he'll be so lucky next time.

Zhilo World Star, the residence of the He Yin Marquis.

At this moment, the He Yin Marquis was also somewhat irritable.

With the three-hundred-year mission deadline fast approaching, the Dark Hall has yet to send any good news.

He's already paid the money, so how can it not be done?

"Owner."

Suddenly, a maid appeared beside the He Yin Marquis.

"What is it?" asked the He Yin Marquis.

"I had previously contacted one of my targets under the name of Yin Hou, but now someone has suddenly broken through my Star Territory, contacted me, and specifically asked to speak with the master," the maid said.

"What?" He Yin Marquis was taken aback. "I didn't ask you to destroy that—wait, you mean someone contacted you a thousand years ago through that communication?"

"Yes," the maid nodded.

He Yin Marquis fell silent. Who on earth had such great power?

"Connect me."

Whether it's a blessing or a curse, he couldn't escape it, so he decided to talk to that mysterious person.

Before long, the phantom of the He Yin Marquis appeared in front of Zhao Xing.

The moment He Yin Marquis saw Zhao Xing, he was taken aback.

Because he had seen Zhao Xing's appearance before, he naturally recognized him.

However, Fang Fang never expected that Zhao Xing would contact him in this way.

Similarly, he didn't expect Zhao Xing's opening remarks to be like this. "He Yin Marquis, I'll give you a chance."

"Give me a chance?"

Zhao Xing said calmly, "Now report to the highest elders of your ancient clan, sever all ties with me, and withdraw the assassination mission from the Shadow Sanctum."

"Then, you immediately commit suicide."

"I am leaving the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, and my karmic ties with your Dongyan Ancient Clan are now severed."
