Zhao Xing had not seen the Purple Moon Mansion Lord for a thousand years.

The first meeting was to inform him of Qing Yuzi's death, and the second meeting is now.

The Purple Moon Mansion Lord and the Yuqing Mansion Lord arrived at the Hutou Star Continent along with the Great Zhou's Realm Boat and landed at the Yellow Sand Mansion.

"Greetings, Purple Moon Mansion Lord and Yuqing Mansion Lord." Zhao Xing respectfully bowed to the two lords, while the people from the Great Zhou were left to their own devices for the time being.

"You two go out first." The Purple Moon Mansion Lord gestured to Liu Tianning and Xia Jing. As for Ji Che of the Great Zhou, the Purple Moon Mansion Lord did not allow him to come out for a meeting.

"Yes." Liu Tianning and Xia Jing cupped their hands in greeting, and then followed Jiu Li out of the reception hall of the Yellow Sand Mansion.

Only Du Yun, Zhao Xing, the Purple Moon Mansion Lord, and the Yuqing Mansion Lord remained in the hall.

"Zhao Xing," the Purple Moon Mansion Lord went straight to the point, "Do you wish to leave the Purple God Mansion?"

"Yes, I was just about to ask the Lord of the Prefecture." Zhao Xing didn't hide anything, because his intentions were quite clear.

"It's because of fear," asked the Purple Moon Mansion Lord. "You don't need to be afraid now, because the person who killed your teacher is dead."

"His name is He Yin Marquis, and he is a Dao Domain Realm," Yuqing Mansion Lord added. "His direct and collateral descendants..."

They all no longer exist.

Zhao Xing displayed surprise and relief at just the right moment—he certainly shouldn't have received the news so quickly, so this expression was necessary.

There's a limit to how much you can go on a performance. You and Qing Yuzi have never met before, so if you get too excited, it will seem fake and pretentious.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Xing said, "May your spirit rest in peace now, Teacher."

"Now that the enemy is dead," Purple Moon Mansion Lord said in a deep voice, "You no longer need to live in fear, nor do you need to leave the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom. I have already registered all the people from your hometown dynasty as citizens of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom."

Zhao Xing was stunned. The Purple Moon Mansion Lord had already helped the Great Zhou register their household registration?

"Damn it, no way!" Zhao Xing cried out in his heart.

The Purple Moon Mansion Lord continued, "Before your teacher went to the Chenluo Desolate Territory, I had someone manage his property."

Now, 1.2 million years have passed. His real estate includes one advanced Realm Star and over 300 smaller Realm Star and Star Continent. His liquid assets amount to 5 Origin Sea Coin.

"The total wealth is approximately 30 trillion."

Zhao Xing was stunned again.

30 trillion? Is Qing Yuzi that rich?

Having spent so much time adventuring in the Yueluo Cemetery, I've amassed approximately 980 Origin Sea Coin, which translates to about 28 Red Star Coin.

One hundred million is roughly the net worth of someone at the Five Elements Dao Domain Realm.

But Qing Yuzi actually has 30 trillion?!

"That shouldn't be the case, he's only at the second realm—" But then Zhao Xing realized what was going on.

Qing Yuzi didn't have that much money back then, but the Purple Moon Mansion Lord did. In addition, the Purple Moon Mansion Lord sent people to manage and acquire property for his Beloved Disciple. In reality, this cannot be considered as the wealth that Qing Yuzi acquired on his own.

An era has passed, Qing Yuzi has accumulated so much wealth, entirely due to the efforts of the Purple Moon Mansion Lord.

If it were the Purple Moon Mansion Lord, who is at the Yin Yang Dao Domain Realm, then this amount of wealth wouldn't be considered exaggerated.

"No wonder Zhao Yuanzi was so cold to me back then, acting as if I were here to steal her family fortune—"

"They're really rich," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

He never imagined that Lao Qing would have so much money; even Qing Yuzi himself probably didn't expect it.

"Now, you will inherit these properties." Purple Moon Mansion Lord stared at Zhao Xing.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

"Zhao Xing," the Yuqing Mansion Lord beside him smiled and said, "Your grandmaster didn't make this decision on a whim. He told Su Qin and Mu Luo back then that if you could Source Origin Realm within three thousand years and weren't a person with evil intentions, then your teacher's property would be inherited by you."

Du Yun also wanted Zhao Xing to stay, after all, the kid was lucky and had good comprehension. "Zhao Xing, don't just stand there, this is a good thing, why don't you quickly thank your grandmaster?"

Zhao Xing pretended to be stunned, but in reality, he was quickly thinking about how to refuse.

Money is a good thing, but it's like a hot potato when you hold it.

"Lord of the Manor." Zhao Xing cupped his hands in greeting and began to carefully choose his words.

When the Purple Moon Mansion Lord heard Zhao Xing address her as "Palace Master" instead of "Grandmaster," a hint of displeasure appeared on her face.

"I am unworthy of Master Qing Yuzi's wealth," Zhao Xing said. "I have done nothing to acquire such a large fortune; it's easy for people to say—"

"You don't need to explain," the Purple Moon Mansion Lord said calmly. "So, in the end, you're determined to leave?"

The Purple Moon Mansion Lord has a very strong personality, which Zhao Xing could tell even though he hadn't had much contact with her.

Seeing that tact was useless, Zhao Xing simply laid his cards on the table. "Yes, I am grateful for the care I have received from the Lord of the Manor, but I want to pursue my own path and do not wish to hide under the wings of the strong."

"Hmph." The Purple Moon Mansion Lord flicked her sleeves and disappeared without a trace.

Zhao Xing's expression changed slightly.

But Du Yun and Yuqing Mansion Lord did not leave.

"Zhao Xing, there's no need to be nervous." Yuqing Mansion Lord looked at Zhao Xing with a complicated expression. "Your teacher gave the same answer back then, and then accepted the mission to the Desolate Territory."

Did I remind the Purple Moon Mansion Lord Qing Yuzi? Zhao Xing felt a little relieved. He had already considered that refusing the Purple Moon Mansion Lord might make her angry.

But he had no choice; he had to leave. It was better to just say so than to sneak away.

" Of the Minor Divine Ability created by your teacher, the Purple Light Eight Disciplines, only you possess them now," the Yuqing Mansion Lord sighed. "Seeing you is like seeing Purple Moon's disciple. Your staying in the Purple God Mansion is a way for him to have something to look forward to."

Zhao Xing understood everything the Yuqing Mansion Lord said, but he simply couldn't do it, so he could only remain silent and listen quietly.

"You've broken through to the Third Realm, but even then, you're barely able to protect yourself in the universe," the Yuqing Mansion Lord said gently, her face kind and her tone tender. "If you stay in the Purple God Mansion, you'll still have the opportunity to grow stronger."

"The Purple Moon Mansion Lord will not restrict your development; she simply wants to help you."

"Look, Du Yun also entered the Origin Heavenly Palace, but he did not leave the Purple God Mansion or the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom. This shows that your personal pursuits and your membership in the Purple God Mansion are not in conflict."

Du Yun nodded; he couldn't understand why Zhao Xing would refuse.

Zhao Xing didn't know what to say. Putting aside the Dongyan Ancient Clan factor, he really didn't have any convincing reasons to offer.

"Lord of the Palace." Zhao Xing bowed to Du Yun and Yu Qing. "I actually want to follow my Way of the True Self, and I will be going to the Red Star Empire in the future. Therefore, I can no longer be a member of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom and the Purple God Mansion."

"Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Du Yun nodded, but didn't say anything.

After hearing this, the Yuqing Mansion Lord stopped trying to persuade him.

"Everyone has their own ambitions. Since you have made up your mind, Purple Moon and I are not unreasonable people."

Zhao Xing said gratefully, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Excellency. I am willing to repay a thousandfold for the resources I consumed on Qing Yu Star."

Back when he was on Qing Yu Star, he used a lot of free resources to advance from the Ascension Realm to the Source Origin Realm. Now that he wants to leave, Zhao Xing is willing to pay a little more money.

"Money is not the main issue," said Yuqing Mansion Lord.

"Please give your instructions, Your Excellency." Zhao Xing bowed.

"The Purple Light Eight Disciplines is Qing Yuzi's Minor Divine Ability," said the Yuqing Mansion Lord. "According to the procedure, before you leave..."

This supernatural power must be abolished.

Seeing Zhao Xing's predicament, Du Yun couldn't help but speak up, "Yuqing Mansion Lord, is there any other option? I would like to plead for Zhao Xing. Besides, Qing Yuzi may not be happy to see his supernatural powers crippled."

The Yuqing Mansion Lord was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected Du Yun to plead for her.

How many years has Zhao Xing been here? How come he managed to get Du Yun to speak up?

Yuqing Mansion Lord was silent for a moment, seemingly communicating telepathically with Purple Moon Mansion Lord: "Since Yellow Sand Mansion Lord is pleading for it, let him keep it, but he must pass down a copy of the Purple Light Eight Disciplines and keep it in the Purple Moon Mansion."

"No problem, thank you, Lord." Zhao Xing nodded. It would only take a little over ten years.

"Don't thank me in such a hurry." Yuqing Mansion Lord said, "You can keep Qing Yuzi's supernatural powers, but the ' Three Gods Fate Palace ' that Wan'er learned is the real problem, and it must be discarded."

Upon hearing this, Du Yun frowned. "You've also learned the Three Gods Fate Palace?"

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded.

Yuqing Mansion Lord said, "Yellow Sand Mansion Lord, explain to Zhao Xing, don't let him think that we are forcing him."

After saying this, the Yuqing Mansion Lord waved his sleeves and vanished into light, leaving the main hall.

After the Yuqing Mansion Lord left, Du Yun, holding the Star Territory, learned the whole story.

After a while, he explained:

"Zhao Xing, the ' Three Gods Fate Palace ' you're learning is very troublesome."

"It is a unique supernatural power belonging to the Reincarnation Temple, originating from the Major Divine Ability ' Reincarnation '."

"Su Wan'er was granted the opportunity to study by the Reincarnation Temple because she performed exceptionally well in a Dharma assembly jointly organized by the Desolate Territory Ancient Kingdoms Alliance and the Reincarnation Temple, thus earning this precious opportunity."

"But the Reincarnation Temple bestowed it upon Su Wan'er, not you. Do you understand the difference?"

"Yes, I understand." Zhao Xing nodded.

"You ascended from the Desolate Territory and are unaware of this, which is understandable. The Reincarnation Temple will not kill you, but will cripple your supernatural powers," Du Yun said.

"Lord, is there any way to make an exception?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Difficult." Du Yun shook his head. "The relationship between the Ancient Kingdom Alliance and the Reincarnation Temple was originally quite good, but later—"— the Reincarnation Temple lost another Derivation God Stele. The Desolate Territory Ancient Kingdoms Alliance bears some responsibility for this, but I cannot go into details."

"After that, the relationship between the Desolate Territory Ancient Kingdoms Alliance and the Reincarnation Temple deteriorated, and the Reincarnation Temple no longer granted such rights."

"Learning without authorization should be abolished."

"It's very difficult to open that door now."

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment and said, "The Lord of the Palace is from the Origin Heavenly Palace. Is it possible to find someone to intercede on his behalf? I am willing to pay the price."

Abolish the Three Gods Fate Palace? Those are the Fate Soul, Earth Soul, and Heavenly Soul!

Destroying this soul supernatural power would cause great harm and might even expose secrets.

It's not just his own secret, but also the secret of the Dongyan Ancient Clan.

If someone truly touches his soul, then Zhao Xing's death is not far off.

Du Yun shook his head and said, "If you were in the Purple God Mansion, the relationship between the Purple Moon Mansion Lord and the Yuqing Mansion Lord might be able to buy you some time. However, if you want to leave the Purple God Mansion— "

Zhao Xing understood that if he left, not only would the Purple Moon Mansion Lord and the Yuqing Mansion Lord not help him, but they would also have to ensure the completion of the abolition process, because the source of the leak was Su Wan'er, and if he ran away, the Purple God Mansion would also be held responsible.

No wonder the Purple Moon Mansion Lord and the Yuqing Mansion Lord came in person; this is probably the most important point.

"Lord of the Palace, you are a member of the Origin Heavenly Palace," Zhao Xing said, bowing respectfully. "If you wish to find someone, is there a way? And what price would be required?"

Du Yun originally didn't want to get involved; matters concerning the Reincarnation Temple weren't so easy to interfere with.

Those who uphold the doctrines don't care about money at all; they only want to maintain the ideals of the Reincarnation Temple.

However, remembering the words of the Great Scholar Zhuo En, he nodded. "Wait a moment."

He grasped the Star Territory again and closed his eyes.

Zhao Xing waited for Heavenly Timing Heavenly Timing before Du Yun finally opened his eyes.

"Lord, how is it?"

"Zhao Xing, I just asked around at the Origin Heavenly Palace," Du Yun said. "Finding someone who can plead for you would come at a high price, one you probably can't afford."

"Please speak frankly, Your Highness."

Du Yun said, "I acted as your middleman without charging any fees, but you will need to pay 5 trillion Red Star Coin. The other party is only willing to buy you some time, but cannot solve this problem at its root. After the Reincarnation Temple lost the Derivation God Stele, there is very little room for maneuver in this matter."

"Five trillion Red Star Coin?" Zhao Xing gasped.

This price is far too high. It would be enough to assassinate a Yin Yang Dao Domain Realm by issuing a mission in the Dark Hall.

Du Yun said, "I think you should give up this supernatural power. I can guarantee that there won't be any accidents during the process of you accepting the abolition of the supernatural power."

5 trillion Red Star Coin? Just to buy a little time and preserve a Soul Minor Divine Power?

Du Yun felt it was not worth it at all!

Given the complicated situation, he naturally advised Zhao Xing to accept the abolition.

"Abolishing your soul powers will only allow others to see some of your memories," Du Yun said. "The Reincarnation Temple wouldn't casually reveal other people's privacy."

In Du Yun's view, Zhao Xing's ascension to immortality was still recent, and there was nothing worth hiding.

"I will supervise you, and the Reincarnation Temple will send someone instead of capturing you," Du Yun said. "The designated scholar will use ' Spirit of Forgetting ' on you, but it will not affect your strength in any way, nor will it fundamentally damage you."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

To be honest, Du Yun has been very kind. If this suggestion had been made by someone else, such as Purple Bone, they would probably have been happy to accept it as well.

But I am absolutely not capable of that; it would be no different from sending myself to my death.

Joining the Reincarnation Temple is not possible for the time being, and it's not a matter of talent.

The reason why the Reincarnation Temple lost the Derivation God Stele was because there was a traitor within its ranks.

The Major Divine Ability "Reincarnation" is the basic spell that drives the "Derivation God Stele"! It is by taking advantage of this that one can successfully steal it. This is the process that players used to steal the Derivation God Stele in the previous life.

They're laying off staff and conducting thorough investigations right now, so why would they be hiring?

Zhao Xing hadn't expected that the Reincarnation Temple had lost another piece in recent years; if he had known earlier, he wouldn't have studied it.

He was learning this and even thought he'd become a tombstone thief, but little did he know that sages had already taken action. By the time he entered the universe version, he was caught in a crackdown.

Now that Old Master Zhao knows the truth, he is truly heartbroken and has no tears left to shed.

I'm so wronged! I haven't even stolen anything, so why am I being targeted by this crackdown?

"Why."

Seeing Zhao Xing sigh, Du Yun couldn't help but feel a little amused.

Zhao Xing's current appearance is very much like that of a tomb raider who failed in his theft attempt; he has seen far too many of those over the years.

But this kid probably never thought of robbing the tomb of the Reincarnation Temple, right?

"Lord, how much time do I have left?" Zhao Xing asked. What's done is done, there's no need to wallow in self-pity.

Zhao Xing never dwells on things for too long; once he discovers a problem, he immediately goes to solve it.

Upon hearing this, Du Yun knew that Zhao Xing still wanted to preserve his privacy, which in turn proved Zhuo En's earlier statement.

However, Du Yun had no intention of prying into the secret. Why wasn't he curious? Zhuo En had said that it involved life and death. Although he thought it was a bit of an exaggeration, it was best not to ask too much and just make a Good Karma.

"The Reincarnation Temple is now rarely guarded in any country," Du Yun explained. "Apart from investigators and protectors, the Reincarnation Temple is almost completely hidden from the world."

"Your matter isn't exactly urgent, but someone will likely come looking for you when the Spirit Domain Dharma Assembly takes place."

"The Spirit Domain Dharma Assembly?" Zhao Xing frowned. "Held in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom?"

"It's pretty close to the truth," Du Yun said.

Hearing Du Yun say this, Zhao Xing felt a slight ripple in his heart.

The Spirit Domain Dharma Assembly held once per era. When he came in his previous life, the Spirit Domain Dharma Assembly just ended, but it was not held in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, but in another ancient kingdom.

The memories of his past life and the current situation have once again diverged, but Zhao Xing has no time to worry about it at the moment.

Because he had just checked, and the Spirit Domain Dharma Assembly be held in 1045 years.

As is customary, the venue will be announced in 45 years.

"One thousand and forty-five years, just over the millennium agreement." Zhao Xing felt that there was some unseen force preventing him from leaving the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom.

If he doesn't find a way, then he'll have to wait here for 1045 years, obediently waiting for the people from the Reincarnation Temple to carry out the process of abolishing supernatural powers.

Escape is impossible; the Purple Moon Mansion Lord and the Yuqing Mansion Lord would never allow him to escape.

With Du Yun right in front of him, Zhao Xing didn't dare to think too much. He simply cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Lord of the Manor. I understand."

"Before I leave, I will gather 5 trillion Red Star Coin to make things easier for the Purple God Mansion."

After Zhao Xing left, Du Yun pondered for a moment and then flew to another side hall.

The Purple Moon Mansion Lord and the Yuqing Mansion Lord were in the hall.

"You two," Du Yun said, "Zhao Xing has decided to leave the Purple God Mansion."

A hint of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the Purple Moon Mansion Lord, but in the end she said nothing.

Yuqing Mansion Lord said, "Then let him return to the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom and wait for another thousand years until the Spirit Domain Dharma Assembly is held."

Forced relationships are never sweet. Since I can't talk about feelings with Zhao Xing, I can only handle things officially.

"Once his supernatural powers are abolished, he can go wherever he wants."

"Your Excellencies," Du Yun cupped his hands in greeting, "Taking him back is undoubtedly a form of disguised imprisonment, and I feel this method is inappropriate."

"Du Yun, what do you mean?"

"He still wants to stay on the Hutou Star Continent."

"Does something concerning the Reincarnation Temple mean he can just think about it?" said the Yuqing Mansion Lord. "If he were to secretly run away..."

We can't afford that responsibility.

"I vouch for him," Du Yun said. "I have the Thousand Mile Yellow Sand Crossing; I can keep an eye on him."

"Du Yun, this is the second time you've pleaded for him," Yuqing Mansion Lord, curious. She didn't understand why Du Yun was doing this.

"He previously presented me with a stable void passage for entering and exiting the Yueluo Cemetery."

"Perhaps he doesn't even know the value of this. Although I gave him money as a reward, I still feel somewhat indebted to him," Du Yun found a ready-made reason.

In reality, there was no debt at all; the reward Du Yun offered was more than enough to cover the cost of the shipping route information. The main reason was that Du Yun didn't want to explain Zhuo En's matter to the two prefectural lords.

Although Yellow Sand Mansion, Purple Moon Mansion, and Yuqing Mansion belong to the same organization, they are not subordinate to each other. Du Yun has some acquaintance with the two, but not much. After all, he, Purple Moon, and Yuqing are not from the same era.

There's no need to say too much if you're not familiar with each other.

Yuqing and Purple Moon exchanged a glance, whispered a few words to each other, and then replied:

"Since you Du Yun, are vouching for me, then I'll leave it to you to handle."

If the current Purple God Mansion Lord cannot transcend life and death and enter the Reincarnation Realm, he will at most live for another two or three eras. Du Yun will be the one to take the lead in the future. He is the designated Palace Master and his position is unshakeable. Naturally, the two of them will have to give face to the next Palace Master.

"Alright, thank you both." Du Yun cupped his hands in thanks.

"Damn it!"

Jing Yan was drilling a hole in a puppet when he heard the sound, so he immediately took off his mask to look.

"Zhao Xing, why are you cursing as soon as you walk in? Who offended you?"

Jing Yan jumped off the puppet's shoulder, changed his clothes in mid-air, and landed gracefully.

His good friend got a marquisate and had a free mansion to live in, so of course he wouldn't spend any more money, and he also lived in the Five Mausoleums Marquis Residence.

Zhao Xing opened his mouth, but finally said somewhat dejectedly, "Damn everyone."

Jing Yan immediately took off his clothes.

Zhao Xing:

"...

Seeing Zhao Xing smile, Jing Yan closed his clothes and patted Zhao Xing on the shoulder:

"Brother, you look better when you smile."

I am speechless.

Jing Yan conjured two smoking pipes. "Then don't say anything, have one."

"The Empire's old brand ' Northern Wild ' lives up to its name, it's strong and wild. I don't have much left on me. "Zhao Xing grabbed him, and Jing Yan snapped his fingers, and two slender pipes began to emit faint flames.

"Sss~"

"Ha~"

The two silently Swallowing Clouds beside the Mechanism Puppet puppet.

After finishing one, Zhao Xing felt much better.

"If there's nothing else, I'll continue working."

"Um.

Zhao Xing flashed and arrived at the backyard of the Marquis's mansion. At this time, the main members of the Great Zhou were all here. When they saw Zhao Xing return, they immediately came to greet him.

"Brother."

"The Grand Minister of Agriculture has arrived."

"Greetings to the Grand Minister of Agriculture."

Ji Che and his ministers all stood up.

Zhao Xing returned the greeting. "Your Majesty, esteemed officials."

Ji Che ran over and helped Zhao Xing up. "Brother, please get up quickly. This isn't court, why are you bowing?"

Now that we are no longer in the Profound Yellow World, but in a new world, powerful figures in the Great Zhou have successively reached the Source Origin Realm, Ji Che's views have also changed a lot.

He knew very well that if Zhao Xing, Liu Tianning, Xia Jing, and the others wanted to leave, he couldn't stop them at all.

She was still willing to bow to him and maintain the etiquette between ruler and subject, purely out of affection in her heart.

Of course, he wouldn't really consider himself a high and mighty emperor.

"Gentlemen, please take your seats and let's talk."

After Ji Che finished speaking, everyone took their seats.

Originally, the group wasn't just sitting idly; Yuan Forty-Six arranged for them to eat and drink.

However, no one could truly relax and enjoy their food and drink, as many things had happened along the way, making Ji Che and Liu Tianning sense something unusual.

Now that they had seen Zhao Xing in person, everyone was relieved and could finally enjoy the delicious food before them.

"The officials of the Great Zhou are truly trembling with fear, as if walking on thin ice." Zhao Xing only glanced at them before discerning the atmosphere.

A thousand years have passed, and the more the Great Zhou has seen, the more awe it has for everything in the universe.

Geniuses of all kinds emerge one after another; anyone you meet is someone they can never reach.

The various treasures possessed unpredictable power, far exceeding their wildest imaginations.

Now that Zhao Xing says that the Great Zhou is going to relocate again, they all recall the scene of their first entry into Star Sleet Pass.

Where will they go in the future? What will their fate be? Can Zhao Xing protect them from the storm? And can they protect the Great Zhou from the storm? They have no idea.

"Zhao Xing, when I came here, I heard some rumors that the Purple Moon Mansion Lord intended to hand over Qing Yuzi's property to you."

"Having received such a large sum of money, how can you leave?" Liu Tianning asked.

"Teacher, don't worry," Zhao Xing said. "The Purple God Mansion won't stop me anymore; that aspect has already been resolved."

The Purple Moon Mansion Lord and the Yuqing Mansion Lord would indeed not prevent Zhao Xing from leaving the Purple God Mansion. Now that Du Yun has acted as guarantor and is overseeing Zhao Xing's actions, he has taken over the process of abolishing supernatural powers in the Reincarnation Temple.

After paying a thousandfold reward and passing down the Purple Light Eight Disciplines, Zhao Xing had no further connection with the Purple Moon Mansion Lord and the Yuqing Mansion Lord.

Neither the Purple Moon Mansion Lord the Yuqing Mansion Lord knew how Zhao Xing made his choice. Neither of them had ever considered that Zhao Xing would want to keep the "Three Gods Fate Palace." They were unaware of the conversation between Du Yun and Zhao Xing.

"But we can't leave yet," Zhao Xing said. "There are still some things to take care of."

"After leaving my identity as a member of the Purple God Mansion, I will continue to stay here for a while as the Five Mausoleums Marquis of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom."

Zhao Xing had no idea how long it would take, but in short, a living person can't be killed by holding in their pee.

"Big brother, are you really leaving?" Purple Bone asked. "Didn't they say that so-and-so is dead?"

"You want to stay?" Zhao Xing asked, looking at Purple Bone.

"I want to stay," Purple Bone said sincerely. "I don't think there's anything wrong with staying in the Purple God Mansion."

As soon as Purple Bone spoke, everyone stopped eating.

Although they followed orders and came here, many people don't understand why they had to leave.

People like Luo King, Ye Yukong, Qitian, and Lu Ying were all somewhat puzzled.

As for Xia Jing, Chen Shijie, and Long Xiao, they all unconditionally trust Zhao Xing.

"The Red Star Empire is more suitable for our development," Zhao Xing said. "If anyone feels that they have a better future and insists on staying, His Majesty and I will not force them, but we must draw a clear line. From now on, they will no longer be a part of the Great Zhou."

"Life and death are predestined, and wealth and honor are determined by fate. If anyone wishes to leave, they can withdraw a sum of money from the Great Zhou. His Majesty and I will then provide them with resources sufficient to cultivate to the Source Origin Realm. Today's banquet will serve as a farewell feast."

Zhao Xing offered no explanation, nor could he provide one.

There was no human voice.

Although they were puzzled, they never considered leaving.

The main problem is that they are too weak. Most people are at the Ascension Realm and haven't even reached the Source Origin Realm. Even if they become citizens of the ancient kingdom, they are still at the bottom.

Only Liu Tianning, Xia Jing, and Purple Bone can truly stand on their own.

Because they not only reached the Source Origin Realm, but also joined the powerful forces of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom.

"Purple Bone," Zhao Xing said, "You seem to have something to say?"

After thinking for a moment, the Purple Bone Celestial Venerable stood up and bowed to Zhao Xing and Ji Che: "Your Majesty, elder brother, I wish to stay in the Purple God Mansion."

Zhao Xing sighed inwardly, but still pleaded, "You might be bullied if you stay alone in the Purple God Mansion. I'm now at the Third Realm, and I can protect you. Do you really want to stay?"

Purple Bone maintained his bow. "After I Source Origin Realm, the Tianyuan Mansion Lord took a great liking to me, entrusted me with Pu Ta's legacy, and was willing to take the time to personally teach me."

? 7

"Brother, perhaps the Red Star Empire is better, but I don't want to wander anymore."

Looking at Purple Bone, Zhao Xing couldn't help but recall the moment when he rejected the Purple Moon Mansion Lord.

It had been a long time since we last met, and Purple Bone's situation had changed a lot. He had performed very well after the Source Origin Realm. In fact, he had always been very good. After all, he was able to accept the Pu Ta inheritance in the art of weapon crafting.

The Tianyuan Mansion Lord had passed his test of character and decided to let Purple Bone inherit the estate.

Once people have accumulated wealth, they no longer want to live a life of hardship.

It's understandable that Purple Bone would have such thoughts about going to the Red Star Empire and having to start all over again.

"Okay." Zhao Xing nodded, and Ji Che helped Purple Bone up. The three of them drank a cup together.

Finally, Zhao Xing spoke up, "Purple Bone, do you still remember what I promised you?"

Purple Bone nodded. "I remember."

Zhao Xing patted Purple Bone's shoulder blade. "About eight hundred years from now, go to the Yuan Grotto Star System, which is the former site of the France Dynasty. I will leave you a letter there."

He couldn't bear to see Purple Bone die, so he gave him a chance to escape.

"Okay." Purple Bone nodded. "Big brother, I will definitely go."

Zhao Xing didn't know whether Purple Bone would go or not, but he had already done everything he could.

If Purple Bone ultimately didn't go, then that was his fate.

Purple Bone Celestial Venerable drank two more cups, and then strode away.

"Is anyone else leaving?" Zhao Xing asked.

No one spoke.

Zhao Xing said, "Then let's continue playing music and dancing."

Everyone from the Great Zhou was settled in the Five Mausoleums Marquis Residence's residence. Apart from Purple Bone, only Yun Tian Dao was still venturing outside the pass.

Zhao Xing couldn't get in touch with him, but he left him a message.

The remaining subjects live within the Realm Boat and will not face any obstacles in their cultivation in the short term.

Zhao Xing paid Xia Jing, Luo King, and others a penalty for breach of contract with the Heaven Star Martial Hall, and also made them free agents.

Next, Zhao Xing arranged cultivation plans for Liu Tianning, Long Xiao, Chen Shijie, Ye Yukong, Xia Jing Ji Si, Xia Jing, Luo King, Lu Ying, Yin Xiu, and others.

With money, many things become easier.

Previously, everyone was frugal and tried to make every penny count. Ye Yukong had to time his cultivation carefully, opening and closing the spirit-gathering Magic Array precisely.

Now that's great. Zhao Xing directly bought a top-tier spirit-gathering Magic Array from the Origin Sea Hall and installed it in the Five Mausoleums Marquis Residence.

Now they can use it freely!

"Holy crap, is this for real?" Ye Yukong's eyes widened in disbelief upon seeing the new training ground.

"Is it on all twelve hours?"

"Brother, if I'm not mistaken, this is a high-level spirit-gathering Magic Array, right?" Xia Jing asked the Mechanism Master directing the installation of the Magic Array.

"It's a top-tier spirit-gathering Magic Array." Jing Yan, with a pipe dangling from his lips, glanced at Xia Jing and said, "Brother, you must be Xia Jing?"

"Yes, I am. May I ask your name?" Xia Jing looked at Jing Yan, thinking that Jing Yan was a staff member.

"Jing Yan, an Imperial citizen." Jing Yan nodded. "I've heard Brother Zhao mention you before. I heard you dislike fish; is that true?"

Xia Jing:

"...

Jing Yan was quite surprised, because he had grasped the slight feeling of disgust that was rising in Xia Jing's heart.

That's strange, there really are people like that?

Something that can't even be mentioned?

"Then you shouldn't go north of the spirit array," Jing Yan said with a smile. "The spiritual energy there is extremely high-level; it can even transform into the shape of fish."

"Haha, Brother Xia, you must go!" Long Xiao Music Dao.

"You must be Long Xiao." Jing Yan turned his head to look at the laughing Long Xiao.

"Indeed, he remains true to his word, and that is Long Xiao."

"Impressive, truly worthy of the unconventional Sword Sect style." Jing Yan gave a thumbs up.

"No, no, not at all." Long Xiao was pleased. It seemed that Zhao Xing was quite considerate, often mentioning his brother to him.

Long Xiao thought Jing Yan was praising him, but only Zhao Xing knew what Jing Yan meant by "amazing".

Jing Yan was simply admiring Long Xiao for marrying a dragon girl and developing a love that transcended races.

"So you are Chen Shijie?" Jing Yan looked at Chen Shijie, who was dressed in blue next to Long Xiao. The latter had cultivated the Treasure Mountain Art, and his aura was somewhat similar to Zhao Xing's.

"It is indeed I." Chen Shijie bowed with his hands clasped, appearing much more composed, knowing that Jing Yan's strength was certainly not much different from Zhao Xing's.

"A Heaven Yuan Pear, ascending to the Origin Realm, brother has good eyes." Jing Yan smiled and cupped his hands. He could see that Chen Shijie had already stepped halfway into the Source Origin Realm, and even without resources to accelerate his progress, he was probably not far from breaking through.

"You flatter me," Chen Shijie, bowing again.

"By the way, who is Ji Si?" Jing Yan glanced around the crowd again.

"I am Ji Si." Ji Si stepped forward and bowed to Jing Yan.

"He possesses both skills, cultivating the past and seeing the future. Impressive indeed."

Ji Si has now embarked on the path of Starry Sky Historian and also cultivated the way of Fate Master.

Jing Yan had naturally heard Zhao Xing mention the rumors about the Heavenly Venerable of Payment and the Heavenly Venerable of Trade in South Luo.

Upon seeing Ji Si, he immediately asked curiously, "What new tricks do you have up your sleeve these days?"

Ji Si glanced at Zhao Xing, who nodded.

Zhao Xing also wanted to see if Ji Si had developed any new tricks over the past few hundred years.

Then Ji Si took out a white paper strip from her bosom. It was pure white and flawless, emitting a faint glow.

Jing Yan asked curiously, "What is this?"

Ji Si said, "It's a fusion spell of destiny and history carried by World Star Dao Soldiers; I call it a ' Leave Slip.'"

"It's a little gadget that I figured out by accident."

"What do you mean?" Jing Yan scratched his head, a little confused.

Ji Si said, "I once worked in a merchant guild on Qing Yu World Star. I used this item on a person at the Source Origin First Realm. My original purpose was to make him forget the small mistake I made."

"Unexpectedly, he still remembered the small mistake I made, but inexplicably gave me a day off."

"Hmm?" Jing Yan's expression was somewhat strange. "Can I try?"

"Of course," Ji Si, walking over to Jing Yan. "It comes in two styles now."

He pointed to the first-realm Mechanism Master who were repairing the Magic Array in front of him.

"If you were to use it on them, they would become lazy and only want to take a vacation and have fun, which would greatly reduce their work enthusiasm."

"If one of them uses it on you, you'll feel like giving them a break."

"The front side is for main use, the back side is for practical use; never reverse them."

Jing Yan couldn't wait any longer and secretly used the World Star Dao Soldiers Leave Slip on a Mechanism Master.

As a result, he discovered that the Mechanism Master had indeed started to slack off, and the efficiency of constructing the Magic Array had greatly decreased.

Jing Yan called the man out, handed him the World Star Dao Soldiers, and told him to use it on himself.

Jing Yan's expression became extremely interesting.

"You're a real genius. I'm actually thinking of giving this guy a vacation, and a paid one at that."

Jing Yan snapped his fingers, banishing the strange thought from his mind.

The Mechanism Master who had been summoned asked excitedly, "My lord, may I go and rest now?"

Jing Yan laughed and said, "What are you daydreaming about? Get back to work."

He dispelled the influence of the sick leave note on the person.

"Yes, yes." The Mechanism Master continued working, somewhat dejectedly.

Zhao Xing's expression turned quite strange after reading Ji Si's "Leave Slip".

What he wanted to say to Jing Yan at that moment was exactly the same: You're a real talent!

Great Zhou is truly blessed to have you!

"You flatter me, sir," Ji Si sighed. "Its effects are too limited. It only works when there is a master-employer contract, and it can easily be dispelled by a powerful figure like you. That was not my original intention at all. You could say that my research into this method was a waste of a World Star Dao Soldiers material."

Ji Si combined Daoist soldiers with magic, but the results were unsatisfactory.

The ingenious design might amuse Bo Jing Yan, but it never actually served any practical purpose.

"Who says it's useless? There's no such thing as a useless spell in the world," Jing Yan laughed. "I have high hopes for you. Keep up the good work, and who knows, one day your spells might even be able to fool someone at the Dao Domain Realm."

Zhao Xing then asked, "Ji Si, what was your original intention?"

Ji Si seemed a little embarrassed. "I cultivated the paths of history and destiny, originally intending to confuse the past and future, making people unable to distinguish what year and month they are in, causing their souls to become disordered."

A burst of laughter came from the people around him, but Zhao Xing couldn't laugh.

Ji Si's intentions really resembled the methods of some powerful beings.

He had never heard of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom his previous life, probably because someone had erased it from history.

This is at least the capability of a historian in the Reincarnation Realm.

Does Ji Si possess the qualities of an emperor?

"Ji Si, perhaps you are more suited to be a historian," Zhao Xing said. "Why don't you spend more time on this in the future?"

"Of course, if you want to cultivate both, that's fine too, after all, your talent as Fate Master is also quite good."

Ji Si's talent Fate Master is certainly remarkable. He cultivates two paths simultaneously, and is close to reaching the first realm in both.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, I understand." Ji Si nodded, her eyes seemingly flashing with many thoughts.

"Don't think about it now," Zhao Xing said with a smile, waving his hand. "Let's go inside and cultivate."

"This is your first time cultivating in a top-tier spirit-gathering Magic Array, so you might experience some spirit-drunkenness effects. Take it easy," Jing Yan reminded you. "If you feel unwell, you can call me."

"Thank you, Lord Jing Yan." The people of Great Zhou bowed in unison.

"Haha, don't be so Guest Qi." Jing Yan didn't put on airs with these people from Great Zhou, partly because of Zhao Xing.

Secondly, almost everyone in this group from the Great Zhou is considered to be a talented individual.

Given the lack of resources, it has taken only a thousand years to reach the Source Origin First Realm. Xia Jing and Liu Tianning have already broken through, which is certainly commendable.

Previously, there were no resources; now that there are, the progress will likely be astonishing.

As Jing Yan had guessed, the truth was just as he had predicted.

In the first month of cultivation, eight people from the Great Zhou completed the breakthrough from the Ascension Realm to the Source Origin Realm.

They are Long Xiao, Chen Shijie, Ji Si, Ye Yukong, Luo King, Lu Ying (Mechanism Master), Wei Hong (Priest), and Yin Xiu.

In the second month, Liu Tianning progressed from the first realm to the early stage of the second realm.

Emperor Ji Che has also reached the early stage of the second realm.

Xia Jing quickly reached the first stage of perfection.

They don't covet the power of the Spirit Gathering Magic Array to improve their cultivation techniques; after breaking through, they turn to honing their spells. Clearly, they value a balanced improvement in both skill and spells, and such individuals are often very strong in actual combat.

Jing Yan often went to inspect the place when he was bored, but found that he didn't need to worry about it at all.

The people of the Great Zhou are very self-disciplined, even the cats and dogs are self-disciplined!

"Even a sheep is about to ascend to immortality." Jing Yan found it quite novel. "Brother Zhao, you're really generous, using top-tier spirit-gathering Magic Array for a cat, a dog, and a sheep."

"But you have to be careful. It's alright here, but if it were outside the ancient kingdom, beasts that ascend to immortality could easily be taken away."

"Yes, I know." Zhao Xing nodded.

How did the Demon Race in the Xuanling Star Domain form a cohesive force?

In ancient times, the Demon Race gods of the demon races, such as those of the Celestial Demon Kingdom, the Azure Moon Demon Kingdom, the Wanhe Demon Kingdom, and the Star Devouring Demon Kingdom, all merged their own Dao with the Great Dao of the Xuanling Star Domain and established the rule of "guidance".

That is, when those beasts break through to the Ascension Realm, Source Origin Realm, and Dao Domain Realm, a void passage will appear to guide them to the territories of various demon kingdoms.

Of course, the effect of this kind of extradition is not as good now. Basically, it can no longer be extradited when one breaks through the Dao Domain Realm.

Within the territories of the ancient kingdoms, this would be difficult to achieve, and the Human Race also has ways to prevent it.

"Mountain Cat, Cang Ni, and Mirage Sheep have all reached the Ascension Realm and are breaking through to the Source Origin Realm."

"If I have the ability, I must help the Great Zhou gain a foothold, but gaining a foothold cannot be done by me alone," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"The road to immortality is long and lonely, which often leads to mental instability, even madness and demonic Going Berserk."

"Having a spiritual anchor can actually serve as an emotional anchor, reducing the chance of Going Berserk. I don't need to consider this now, but having a spiritual anchor will be a good thing when I advance to the Dao Domain Realm and the Reincarnation Realm in the future."

"Especially in the Reincarnation Realm." Zhao Xing looked at the endless starry sky. "Resurrection in the Reincarnation Realm is divided into active reincarnation Reincarnation and passive ritual resurrection."

"If one day I were to die in an accident, and if the Great Zhou had a group of powerful figures who could perform a resurrection ceremony for me, I could be brought back to life. That's what the Dongyan Ancient Clan does."

After settling things in Great Zhou briefly, Zhao Xing began to adjust his future plans.

"The Great Zhou will not come with me. At most, in five hundred years, I will try to obtain a chance to migrate from an organization called Starfire in the Red Star Empire."

"Brother Jing, I'll need your help a bit then, to get them settled in advance."

Jing Yan nodded. "As long as Starfire can help the Great Zhou enter the country, the settlement matters after arriving in the Empire will be handled well."

"I'll make the arrangements."

Jing Yan knew some of the inside story about Zhao Xing. The Purple God Mansion dared not violate the rules of the Reincarnation Temple and had to keep Zhao Xing here to wait for his supernatural powers to be abolished.

But the people of Great Zhou have nothing to do with this matter, and they can leave whenever they want.

The short-term plan is this: relocate the Great Zhou to the Red Star Empire.

The medium-term plan is to accumulate 5 trillion Red Star Coin to temporarily avoid the abolition process. Since leaving the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, no plan can be separated from money.

Zhao Xing had no choice but to turn his attention to Yueluo Cemetery again.

"Fifteen years have passed since the arrival of the Purple Moon Mansion Lord and the Yuqing Mansion Lord."

"The situation at Yueluo Cemetery remains unclear. Ancient kingdoms are vying for power, engaging in treachery and deception. There's also a life-or-death struggle between the ancient kingdoms and the Demon Race," Zhao Xing pondered. "I can't continue waiting for an opportunity; I must actively seek one."

"We don't know when we'll be able to return to the pre-war peace situation and when the danger level will decrease."

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment, then opened his eyes.

This is a cultivation space. In front of him is a colossal figure, Zhao Xing, who is multitasking and creating a Giant Yang Straw Man clone.

"Buzz~" "Crackling~" "Rumble~"

From the neck down, the divine light disappeared, completely concealed.

Only the head area radiated light, Divine Radiance brilliance, and strange phenomena occurred frequently.

This is because the magic has not yet fully integrated the treasure materials into one, and has not completely contained them.

"It's really not easy to gather all the materials from the Xu Zu Star System. I had to ask Du Yun to buy them for me."

"I spent 10,000 sets of materials practicing for 15 years, and ruined 10,000 sets of materials before I finally cultivated this technique to the Mystic Power Sixth Tier."

Ten thousand sets of materials cost Zhao Xing 1 billion Red Star Coin; this was pure wasteful spending. It should be noted that Lu Yuehan had racked her brains and only managed to find three sets of materials for the Giant Yang Straw Man.

If it weren't for Du Yun's connections, Zhao Xing wouldn't have anywhere to spend money, even if he wanted to.

"Once the clone is successfully created, I will possess a Giant Yang Clone combat power comparable to the late stage of the Minor Mystic Power Realm, capable of unleashing the power of the Giant Sun."

"The Cloud-Soaring Vine has entered its growth period, but it will be difficult for it to reach its peak. My money isn't even enough to feed it."

King Grade Cloud-Soaring Vine, once it reaches its peak, is at the Dao Domain Realm!

The vines have fully spread out and can now cover smaller galaxies.

Cultivating plant life is obviously much more difficult.

"Gurgle~"

A faint bubbling sound reached Zhao Xing's ears, and he immediately shuddered.

"Oh no, it's going to explode!"

He immediately cast a spell, teleporting a dark, poisonous mushroom from his cultivation space to the 'low-spirit area'.

The spiritual energy index here is only 5. Dark black poisonous mushrooms explode inside, followed by eerie howls.

"Chirp chirp~~"

However, the sound is rapidly weakening. The Desolate Territory has one advantage: it can reduce the power of unexpected events. The "low spiritual energy area" in the cultivation space is similar to the Desolate Territory.

"Looks like I need to be more careful in the future; this mushroom is getting weirder and weirder," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "The supernatural powers of the True Self Faction are really not so fun."

Since the Origin Sea World is a purely money-burning cultivation method and not particularly sophisticated, Zhao Xing upgraded it to the Third Realm and discovered that it did not provide any bonus to the Marrow Extraction Divine Power.

Zhao Xing hasn't made much progress in distinguishing the essence of life, as this technique doesn't focus on the division of the essence of life. However, Zhao Xing is becoming increasingly proficient in using Mushroom Soldier.

"Some of the mushrooms I threw out are even scary to me," Zhao Xing muttered. "I guess it's best not to use those unknown mushrooms unless absolutely necessary."

The Essence -Marrow Extraction Divine Power of the True Self Faction is somewhat sinister, and even Zhao Xing, Third Realm cultivator, is somewhat afraid of it.

Even after cultivating the mental willpower technique "Killing Thought Blade," he would still feel terrified and instinctively fearful when facing certain unknown experimental mushroom species.

Time passed quickly, and Shi Xin it was 1145.

More than a hundred years have passed since South Luo returned, and 80 years have passed since the visits of the Purple Moon Mansion Lord and the Yuqing Mansion Lord.

Year.

"Phew~"

"Sigh~"

In the cultivation space, a giant suddenly opened its eyes, and the airflow from its nostrils shook the space, creating a storm comparable to the Third Realm spell.

"The opportunity has come." The giant muttered to himself, then vanished completely, leaving only a small black dot in the air, which was Zhao Xing's true form.

"Twenty-one years after I created my first Giant Yang Clone, the best time to re-enter the Yueluo Cemetery has finally been found."
