Star Shifting, Annals Great Dao: Biographies Tomb World!
"Zhao Xing, you're finally out!" Sensing Zhao Xing emerge from the cultivation space, Jing Yan immediately appeared before him. "I need to talk to you."
"You've come at the right time; I also need to talk to you about something," Zhao Xing said. "You go first."
"I received information from Starfire," Jing Yan said mysteriously. "Starfire plans to carry out a ' Star Shifting Project,' aiming to bypass other ancient kingdoms and the Starry Sky Formation of Yueluo Cemetery to conduct a clandestine exploration."
"The Star Shifting Project?" Zhao Xing was taken aback. "You mean using Magic Array to move the Star Continent out of the Yueluo Cemetery? That shouldn't be possible, right?"
The Yueluo Cemetery is protected by Starry Sky Formation, and the Realm Star, Star Continent, and small worlds within it cannot be moved.
The Star Shifting Project is also known as the Star-Stealing Project or the Tomb-Migration Project.
It's not that no ancient kingdom has tried this; they simply brought the entire Yueluo Cemetery back to their own territory and then studied it at their leisure.
But they all failed in the end.
"It's not one of those large Magic Array that moves things out from the inside, but rather one that moves things in from the outside in."
"Look."
Jing Yan waved his hand, and the starlight formed a brilliant galaxy. The mysterious trajectory of the galaxy resembled a Magic Array. A yellow dot appeared outside the galaxy, and the yellow dot expanded and slowly rotated, becoming a model of a miniature Star Continent.
"Look, this continent is now outside the Yueluo Cemetery."
"After being anchored by the Magic Array, this continent will bypass the Magic Array and the ancient kingdom's monitoring methods, and appear directly inside."
Zhao Xing asked with interest, "Even the Empire couldn't resist getting involved?"
Jing Yan waved his hand, and the star map disappeared. "Empire? What empire? I don't know what you're talking about."
"Why don't you swear an oath first? It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that they require a procedure."
Zhao Xing nodded. "I swear on my Fate Soul that I will not reveal any information I just learned."
Jing Yan then continued, "Now the importance of Yueluo Cemetery is becoming more and more obvious, and everyone wants a piece of the pie."
Do you want to work together?
Zhao Xing didn't rush to answer, but asked, "Don't be in such a hurry. If that's the case, why doesn't Starfire do it himself? Why drag an outsider like me into this? I don't even think I should have dragged you in."
"Although you are a member of the royal family, Starfire does not serve members of the royal family. They have people and money when they need them, so there is no reason for them to come to you or me."
Jing Yan said, "Brother, do you have some misunderstanding about Starfire?"
Zhao Xing said, "Please enlighten me."
"Starfire has plenty of money—can you use Starfire's encrypted communication channels?"
"Starfire has no shortage of Activity Funds, but the problem is that there need to be missions and activities."
Zhao Xing quickly understood the implication. "You mean the Starfire Department of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom hasn't received permission from within the Empire for its actions regarding the Yueluo Cemetery, and therefore doesn't have much Activity Funds?"
Jing Yan gave a thumbs up. "Not bad, the Empire's procedures are very complicated, and the situation in the Eighteen Ancient Kingdoms is currently chaotic, with the Empire far away. By the time all the procedures and formalities are completed, the food will be cold!"
"The empire can't come openly and honestly. If it did, how many powerful figures would it have to send to establish a foothold? It would probably also attract the attention of the Desolate Territory Ancient Kingdoms Alliance."
"Therefore, the Empire will definitely not appear in the Illusory God Star System; only Starfire can do it on its own."
"How many people will Starfire send themselves?" Zhao Xing asked.
"There are three people from Starfire," Jing Yan said. "Three Major Divine Ability beings, and the rest have cooperated with Starfire many times. I am with one of the Major Divine Ability beings."
"What percentage of the profit will actually go to you?"
"I'll guarantee at least 10%, but I need to recruit at least one or two good people to earn that 10%, otherwise they won't work for me. As for extra performance, we'll see."
"Didn't you say you were going to send the people of Great Zhou to Red Star? This is a perfect opportunity!"
Zhao Xing laughed and said, "Goodness!"
Starfire only employed three of its own people; the rest were all hired from outside. As for salaries and compensation, they received nothing but the status of "informants."
He's really mastered the art of getting something for nothing.
Zhao Xing guessed that if this group found something good, Starfire might increase its investment, but it would be absolutely impossible for them to send out their own Starfire before there was a clear benefit.
Would anyone be willing to do that? Believe it or not, plenty of people would.
Starfire can resolve the issue of imperial identity and lead the Great Zhou to relocate there. He has this need, and other powerful figures from smaller dynasties must also have this need.
Without Jing Yan's connection, most people wouldn't be able to get in touch with Starfire, and Starfire wouldn't even give him a second thought.
"You can think about it first, but don't keep me waiting too long. By the way, what did you want to tell me?" Jing Yan asked.
Zhao Xing pondered for a moment, then directly displayed a star map. "Look, this is South Luo 21, a top-tier Star Continent. Coordinates: Taiyin 21, Xanthium 3, Celestial Hook 15. Geng Metal 7, Yi Wood 1."
"It is a barren and desolate Star Continent, devoid of any life, and with an extremely harsh environment. Even the eighteen ancient kingdoms, which are currently at war, are unwilling to touch it."
Jing Yan stared at the star map, his expression blank. "And then?"
Zhao Xing said, "I received a message saying that King Tianji has ended the exploration of the Boka Star Land and is shifting the focus of the exploration."
"He has claimed several plots of land, and I plan to join them as a marquis of an ancient kingdom, and then explore under his protection."
There aren't many powerful figures in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom qualified to expand their territory in the Yueluo Cemetery. Du Yun doesn't have that foundation. He is strong, but his power isn't particularly large.
Therefore, Du Yun only guarded the logistics base and did not organize people to fight for territory.
Among these powerful figures, King Tianji is one, because he is a big shot in the military of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom and holds a very high position.
Originally King Tianji did not move to his original territory, Zhao Xing did not plan to go either, because King Tianji's power was already somewhat saturated relative to his original territory.
Many locations around the Boka Star Land have been occupied by the King Tianji's subordinates, leaving no room for outsiders to participate, and even if they did, they wouldn't get any benefits.
Things are different now. Lu Yuehan told him that King Tianji was going to shift the focus of his exploration.
Having tasted success after unearthing a Thousand Star Vine King Tianji was planning a sneak attack to seize territory from a top-tier power in the Flame Moon Ancient Kingdom.
Therefore, King Tianji was also recruiting soldiers. Zhao Xing was the Agricultural Official and a marquis, with the power of the Purple Light Eight Disciplines. It wouldn't be a problem for him to serve as a grain official under King Tianji. He wouldn't have to face the battlefield directly and could also explore the territory smoothly. This was certainly a good opportunity.
South Luo 21 was Zhao Xing's target.
Although it may seem worthless now, there is a small world entrance in the asteroid belt next to South Luo 21.
There is a Scholar's Imperial Tomb in the Dao Domain Realm!
"I'm a little jealous, bro," Jing Yan said sourly. "Why didn't Lu Yuehan tell me these things, but only told you?"
"She thinks we're together, and this kind of thing is still confidential, so of course she wouldn't tell the whole world," Zhao Xing comforted her.
"Alright, I'm not going to King Tianji's place." Jing Yan shook his head and said, "That demon's subordinates are full of talented people, I'm afraid I won't get anything out of it if I go."
Jing Yan originally wanted to recruit Zhao Xing, but seeing that Zhao Xing had his own plans, he decided to give up.
"Since you're going to King Tianji's place, you can forget about Starfire."
"Don't even think about it," Zhao Xing said, pulling Jing Yan back. "I need to go to King Tianji's place, and I need to go to yours too."
"Hey buddy, how are you getting there?"
"I have a clone."
Jing Yan shook his head. "Starfire, don't be a slacker. Your clone is only at the Void Law stage, its combat power is average."
The Giant Yang Clone at the Void Law stage is actually stronger than a typical second-stage clone.
However, Jing Yan only needs elites to do things. If the Giant Yang Clone is only at the Void Law level, it does not meet the requirements.
Even if Jing Yan wanted to help Zhao Xing make money, he wouldn't joke about something like that.
"Do you want the Giant Yang Clone of the Mystic Power Realm?" Zhao Xing asked casually.
"Mystic Power Realm?" Jing Yan was taken aback. "You've mastered the Straw Man Divine Power?"
"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded. "I have cultivated my first Giant Yang Clone."
"Let me see," Jing Yan, clearly intrigued.
The cultivation space was readily available, and Zhao Xing immediately invited Jing Yan to go in.
Then he released the Giant Yang Clone.
"Big big!"
Zhao Xing controlled his clone, causing it to grow larger and larger.
Finally, a colossal figure appeared before Jing Yan, overlooking the earth.
"So, buddy, is my clone good enough to join the team?"
Jing Yan looked at this giant who resembled the Solar Yang. Just looking at him was dazzling, and the oppressive feeling made him tremble.
"Let me try my trick!"
"Go ahead and do whatever you want." The Giant Yang Clone beckoned with its finger.
"~" The Myriad Laws Dao Soldier appeared in Jing Yan's hand, and at the same time, the Twelve Wandering Deities Mechanical Dao Weapons also appeared.
The Path Breaking Needle is useless because it's designed for mages. The Giant Yang Clone doesn't have a Daoist temple for defense; its physical body is its strongest defense!
"Void Weaponization!"
Jing Yan's Twelve Wandering Deities consist of twelve parts, each exquisitely crafted, emitting rays of light that combine with the essence of Lunar Yin and Solar Yang, merging in the air.
Soon, twelve mechanical giants appeared around the Giant Yang Clone.
The Giant Yang Clone maintained a height of ten thousand feet, while the Twelve Wandering Deities were slightly shorter.
The Twelve Wandering Deities into twelve mechanical soldiers, each with different characteristics, but without exception, all of them were at the peak of the second realm.
The Twelve Wandering Deities possessed a refined and powerful aura, and were themselves made of top-grade World Star Dao Soldiers; the Giant Yang Clone, on the other hand, was magnificent.
indestructible.
When Jing Yan controlled the Twelve Wandering Deities to launch the "Wandering Deity Path" attack, Zhao Xing naturally did not move.
He allowed the attacks of the twelve mechanical soldiers to strike his flesh.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!"
The twelve attacks struck various parts of the Giant Yang Clone, causing spiritual energy to surge and primordial energy to scatter, seemingly forming 'smoke and dust'.
Zhao Xing gently blew a breath, and the smoke and dust disappeared.
Upon Jing Yan realized that his attack had only left a white mark on the Giant Yang Clone.
Not even a scratch!
Zhao Xing said smugly, "How about that?"
"Holy crap!" Jing Yan blurted out, "That's way too much, bro."
"My Twelve Wandering Deities, Void Weaponization, together unleash the ' Wandering Deity Path,' which definitely possesses the attack power of the early stage of the Third Realm."
"You didn't even break the skin?"
Is there no justice left?
"Hahahaha." Zhao Xing was in a great mood after Jing Yan said that.
The Giant Yang Clone is indeed tough and strong!
After all, he had spent half of his wealth on buying precious materials from the Xu Zu Star System. In terms of defense alone, the Giant Yang Clone was comparable to a low-grade Taiyin Dao Soldiers!
Because the materials that make it up are on the same level as the Taiyin Dao Soldiers.
Using the Straw Man Divine Power, Zhao Xing integrated these precious materials and cultivated them to the Mystic Power Sixth Tier, which was already the limit of the Minor Mystic Power Realm.
A martial artist in the Third Realm with Minor Divine Ability, who cultivates the Giant Sun Golden Body, is weaker than the Giant Yang Straw Man clone in terms of defense alone.
The only advantage is that martial artists will develop physical supernatural abilities, but the Giant Yang Straw Man itself is a manifestation of the Straw Man Art Technique and will not have any additional physical supernatural abilities.
"My Giant Yang Clone can not only withstand attacks, but also fight." Zhao Xing controlled the Giant Yang Clone, and with a thought, it appeared five million miles away.
"More than sixteen times the speed of light?" Jing Yan's eyes lit up. "Such a huge size, and it can still move this fast, unbelievable!"
No wonder you stayed.
Zhao Xing's Giant Yang Clone was practically an agile fat man.
In the Origin Stage, 20 times the speed of light is generally the limit, unless one is a prodigy like Du Yun who can continue to improve.
However, doubling the improvement comes at a huge cost.
Faced with such speed and power, all fancy tricks can be easily swept away.
"Do you want me to continue demonstrating?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Enough, enough, stop using your powers." Jing Yan was green with envy.
Zhao Xing's supernatural ability is more than enough.
As he happened to be a Mechanism Master, Zhao Xing's Giant Yang Clone teamed up with him, greatly enhancing his safety.
With a whoosh, Zhao Xing controlled the Giant Yang Clone to return to its normal size; Size Manipulation was a basic operation of the Giant Yang Clone.
"When are you leaving?" Zhao Xing asked.
"At most one year," Jing Yan said.
"Are you hiring another person?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Yes." Jing Yan nodded. "But I only plan to have two people; it's harder to divide the money if there are too many."
2
"Do you have a suitable candidate?" Zhao Xing asked.
"You have one?" Jing Yan glanced at Zhao Xing. "Let's make this clear first, I don't want any people from the Great Zhou. This is serious business. The Great Zhou now has several people at the Second Realm. Liu Tianning and Xia Jing are already at the Second Realm."
However, their combat strength was still a bit weak at this second realm, and Jing Yan didn't think they could risk their lives with him. "No, not from the Great Zhou." Zhao Xing thought of Yu Tianqing. This matter was dangerous, and it wasn't something you could bring your own investment to join the group. Of course, he wouldn't joke around with Jing Yan and half of his own wealth.
"He is a Third Realm Mech Martial Practitioner."
"How strong are they? How did you get to know them?" Jing Yan asked two key questions.
"It's a long story. Let me call you over so you can take a look," Zhao Xing said.
"How long will it take?"
"I can come right now."
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom~"
The target star trembled incessantly, and Yu Tianqing's figure returned to Jing Yan and Zhao Xing.
The final combat strength of Yu Tianqing is 38125, which is a multiple of the standard combat strength of the first realm.
Generally speaking, the standard for the second realm is 100 times that of the first realm, and the standard for the Third Realm is 100 times that of the second realm.
The limit is '85425', which is an explosive move, because Yu Tianqing has also mastered a Minor Divine Ability.
"The tactics are alright, but the equipment is a bit lacking," Jing Yan commented.
Yu Tianqing's normal combat strength reached 3.8 times the standard of the Third Realm.
That's pretty good. Those experts who can take on ten or even a hundred people of the same level aren't easy to find.
For a burst-type move, being able to hit close to 8 targets is already quite impressive.
Yu Tianqing's equipment wasn't particularly luxurious. He had made a lot of money over the past few hundred years, but he wasn't very willing to spend it.
Zhao Xing was also puzzled. "Brother, Hua Zi and Le Yao have made a lot of money, how come your equipment is still like this? "Jing Yan also looked over, because Yu Tianqing didn't have a single Taiyin Dao Soldiers. His exoskeleton was only at the high-grade Realm Star level. To be honest, for someone in the Third Realm, this was really quite meager.
"I don't think there'll be any more chances to go into Yueluo Cemetery, so I didn't buy any more expensive equipment," Yu Tianqing replied.
"What level are your 108 mechanical bones?" Jing Yan asked.
"Superior-grade World Star Dao Soldiers".
"Is it a complete set?"
"No, the leg bones for the lower body are from the Jade Dragon set, the spine is from ' Sky Platinum,' and the upper body and hand bones are from the ' Origin Crystal ' set."
Jing Yan looked at Zhao Xing with some confusion. "Sky Platinum, Origin Crystal, Jade Dragon —what brands are these? Have you heard of them?"
Both he and Zhao Xing are wealthy and willing to spend money, so they basically don't look at off-brand products.
He had never heard of what Yu Tianqing was talking about.
Zhao Xing gave Jing Yan a look, signaling him to stop asking.
What else is there to ask? The exoskeleton is one thing, but the core mechanical combat body hasn't even been fully assembled into a set of top-grade World Star Dao Soldiers.
Yu Tianqing felt somewhat inferior after being asked these questions by Jing Yan.
Zhao Xing now understands that Yu Tianqing actually has the money to buy a better set of clothes.
The main reason I haven't changed is because I'm terrified of being poor.
The experience of being imprisoned and rotting because he had no money left Yu Tianqing with some psychological trauma.
Zhao Xing guessed that Yu Tianqing also planned to keep some money for the development of his hometown Pang Ze Dynasty.
He's a lot like Liu Tianning; Ketu saves a portion of his money for his family.
It would be impolite to ask any more questions.
"Old Yu," Zhao Xing said, pulling Yu Tianqing aside for a private chat, "This job isn't easy. If you want to take it, you'll need to get a better set of equipment."
Yu Tianqing said in a low voice, "I still have 2.9 Origin Sea Coin. Is that enough?"
Sure enough, this big brother only has a little over two Origin Sea Coin left.
Zhao Xing no longer needed to ask where the rest of the money went.
What other possibilities are there besides sending it back?
"Zhao Xing, have I embarrassed you? ———" Yu Tianqing was somewhat embarrassed.
"Don't say that," Zhao Xing waved his hand and said, "I'll lend you some money. You don't need to worry about paying me back for now, and you don't need to pay interest."
He dared not talk about money with Yu Tianqing anymore, because after cultivating the willpower divine power, he could already sense the fluctuations of Yu Tianqing's Dao heart.
If they continued discussing this, Yu Tianqing feared that the other party's Dao heart would collapse due to poverty.
Yu Tianqing nodded. The mission might not pay much, but he was willing to go because it would be of obvious benefit to his hometown dynasty.
The Pang Ze Dynasty is still hiding in a corner of a star system with a low spiritual energy index, barely surviving. He certainly won't give up on Starfire's mission.
"Okay, you don't need to worry about anything else." Zhao Xing patted Yu Tianqing on the shoulder. "You go shopping with Jing Yan. Don't worry about how much money you spend. He's someone I trust, and you can trust him too."
Yu Tianqing took a deep breath. "Okay."
Shi Xin 1146, Zhao Xing took action in two directions.
The Giant Yang Clone followed Jing Yan and Yu Tianqing to a secluded corner of the Illusory God Star System, a location designated by the Starfire Organization.
Soon, Jing Yan and his group of Major Divine Ability appeared.
"My name is Aries, and I am a Sword Sect."
Zhao Xing's heart sank, because he realized that this person had been hiding something from his very first words.
Name: Yang Baihe
[Occupation: Starry Sky Historian, Martial Artist]
[Realm: Grand Mystic Power Realm]
[Martial Arts (Minor Divine Ability): Stupa Swordplay, Three Moments Sword.]
[Spells: Time Retracing (Major Divine Ability), Annals Summoning Art (Major Divine Ability)]
Since the only difference was in combat strength, and not in rank, Zhao Xing could almost see through Aries's true nature.
The information he received shocked Zhao Xing.
This person's identity as a martial artist is actually a facade; his true strength lies in his profession Starry Sky Historian.
"Two Major Divine Ability, both belonging to historians, yet they insist on calling themselves martial artists?"
"Time Retracing allows one to view past events in a particular place, which is not uncommon. But this person's core historical record can actually summon historical figures from the 'Annals' section?"
Zhao Xing was genuinely surprised.
The core of a historian's profession is the "history book" within their body.
Combat-type historians, whose professional skills are typically categorized into five types: Annals, Noble Families, Biographies, Ten Tables,
Eight Books.
Those who cultivate the "Eight Books" possess a rather diverse range of abilities, encompassing Daoist rituals, music, musical scales, astrology, astronomy, and more.
Fengtan (or Tan, according to another version). Some of its abilities are similar to those of the Yuanqi version of Ritual Cultivator, but not entirely.
The abilities described in the Eight Books are basically not very combat-effective, and their auxiliary functions are not obvious either, because other professions are stronger than historians.
Individuals are far more capable than historians. Aside from playing a role in special events like grave robbing, the profession of historian is practically Shuidao.
The Ten Tables Ten Tables are a chronology of major events in the era, encompassing everything from the Xuanling Star Domain to the historical Major Event Chronicle of ancient kingdoms.
The Ten Tables contains several well-known spells: Retracing Time, Correcting History (memory), and Deleting History (deleting people's memories of a certain hidden history).
Its core spells all revolve around the past, confusing, correcting, and recreating historical scenes, etc.
The Ten Tables are auxiliary paths; to master them, one needs exceptional talent, otherwise one can only study the Eight Books and remain a mediocre practitioner.
The combat type involves compiling Biographies, Noble Families, and annals.
They can summon famous historical figures to fight!
The "Chronicles" summon emperors, and the most Major Divine Ability related to the "Chronicles" can even summon the level of "Ancient Lord of the Kingdom," which is the Reincarnation Realm!
"This person definitely possesses the combat power of the Dao Domain Realm, and may even be comparable to the Yin Yang Dao Domain Realm. He also has many advantages in Yueluo Cemetery."
"What exactly is Starfire trying to do? This mission doesn't seem that simple," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
"Alright, that's all I wanted to say." Aries smiled and said, "You are all experts who have traveled the universe for many years, and you have cooperated with Starfire more than once or twice. You all know the rules."
"I want to emphasize one last point: all actions must be carried out under command. This time, our planetary shift will take us directly into the ancient tomb. Anyone who disobeys will not only endanger their own safety but also the lives of others!"
Aries' smile vanished, his voice turning cold. "If anyone acts foolishly or thinks they're clever, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Trust me, I'm perfectly capable of dealing with idiots, understand?
"Understood." Everyone nodded.
Aries led a total of five teams, including Jing Yan's team, bringing the total number of people to thirty.
Starfire only recruits independent cultivators, so they won't be bound by the oaths or methods of powerful forces. Some of them even have horns, making them seem like hybrids of humans and demons.
After Aries finished speaking, he instructed everyone to stand on top of a cylinder and position themselves around him.
Zhao Xing and Jing Yan stood on two adjacent cylinders.
The starry sky above began its first transformation.
"The Star-Shifting Meridian-Fixing Array of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity is so precise that it's accurate to the level of the Earth Vein. No wonder they say it's like entering an ancient tomb directly. Such a small but exquisite Magic Array is probably something only the Red Star Empire's organization could obtain," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
The Star Shifting Project is small-scale and is expected to be completed in seven years.
Therefore, Zhao Xing had to see the starry sky above him change seven times before he could be considered to have reached the tomb.
The Giant Yang Clone waited at Starfire's side, while Zhao Xing's main body arrived at Tianji Star Land after informing Du Yun.
King Tianji is at the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm, so naturally he wouldn't personally summon someone at the Minor Mystic Power Realm.
However, the identity of Five Mausoleums Marquis was quite useful. The person who came out to meet Zhao Xing was also a marquis in the Yin Yang Dao Domain Realm, named Lei Yunde.
"Zhao Xing, the Five Mausoleums Marquis, Agricultural Official at the Minor Mystic Power Realm."
"Hmm, your strength is a bit weak, you don't have much combat power." Lei Yunde looked at Zhao Xing's information.
There is only one Minor Divine Ability in the Purple Light Eight Disciplines above; the rest are all Void Law.
Zhao Xing's overall combat effectiveness rating is only 1.5 (compared to the Third Realm standard).
Only the Purple Light Eight Disciplines is worth mentioning.
Zhao Xing concealed the Three Gods Fate Palace and the Marrow Extraction Divine Power, without reporting them.
"Lord Lei, my combat strength is a bit weak, but I only want to be a logistics officer, even if the pay is low," Zhao Xing said, cupping his hands in greeting.
"Yes." Lei Yunde nodded. They recruited Agricultural Official not so that Agricultural Official would fight.
In fact, there are Junior Minister of Agriculture experts under King Tianji, but now that they want to expand into new areas, they don't have enough manpower.
"Is there anywhere you'd like to go?" Lei Yunde waved his hand, and a secondary star map appeared. "You can choose a place to go; the chaos level and danger level are marked on it."
Zhao Xing was recommended by the Yue Tan Marquis Estate. If the middleman is powerful enough, then he cannot be arranged casually.
Zhao Xing pretended to examine it carefully, and quickly chose Star Continent South Luo 21 according to the plan. "Sir, I am willing to go here."
Lei Yunde glanced at it. South Luo 21 is the general name for the Star Continent cluster, where multiple Star Continent are gathered. The place Zhao Xing chose is not very dangerous. Because the chaos factor is high, few people will go there.
"Okay," Lei Yunde agreed. "Finally, I want to remind you of one thing."
"You are the Agricultural Official of the Minor Mystic Power Realm, and your compensation is approximately 15 Origin Sea Coin."
"If you are killed in action, your compensation and belongings will be given to Lu Yuehan," Lei Yunde said.
"Yes, I understand." Zhao Xing cupped his hands in greeting.
Because the designated person must be a citizen of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, and after the conflict with the Purple God Mansion, all the people of the Great Zhou have already lost their citizenship. Even Liu Tianning and Xia Jing are not citizens of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom.
Du Yun couldn't be chosen, and the other person wouldn't be subject to such karma. Hua Zi and Le Yao weren't suitable either. After thinking it over, only Lu Yuehan was suitable.
After talking with Zhao Xing, Lu Yuehan arranged the matter, so that when the people of King Tianji were assigning positions, they would take into account the relationship with the Yue Tan Marquis Estate's Mansion.
"The token and robe are here." Lei Yunde took out a ring and tossed it to Zhao Xing: "You may proceed to number eighteen, the ' Cloud Firmament Hall,' and await orders."
"Thank you, sir." Zhao Xing accepted the Qiankun Ring, bowed, and took his leave.
The Cloud Palace is the agricultural military palace of the Heavenly Time Sect. The eighteenth Cloud Palace has a total of one thousand people, all of whom are agricultural officials at the second level.
These thousand men were all Zhao Xing's subordinates, from the Cloud Firmament Army, one of the nine great legions under the King Tianji.
"My superior military commander is named ' Hu Rui,' who is the Earthly Advantage Faction Shennong. According to the information, Hu Rui is a Grand Mystic Power Realm. Military mobilization is not under Hu Rui's jurisdiction. The military commander of another Major Divine Ability Realm expert, ' Xin Chen,' is in charge of the South River Army and the Wandering Void Army."
Zhao Xing doesn't need to set off now. He needs to wait for Xin Chen's South River Army and Wandering Void Army to clear out the remaining forces of South Luo 21 before he can go.
"My mission is to lead the Cloud Firmament Hall and work with the Mechanism Master to establish a small supply base at South Luo 21."
"The timeframe is two hundred years, and the reward is also settled every two hundred years. If the task is completed, you will receive 20."
A reward of Origin Sea Coin.
Two hundred years and 2 billion, that's an average of 100 Origin Sea Coin every ten years. The danger level isn't high, and for the Agricultural Official of the Third Realm, it's already quite good.
However, when Zhao Xing first came to open the tomb, he earned nearly 2 Origin Sea Coin in two hundred years. This reward is just pocket money for him now.
In Shi Xin year 1148, Zhao Xing's Giant Yang Clone was still waiting on the other side of the Starfire, but the main body of King Tianji...
We've already set off.
Xin Chen escorted a Realm Boat, taking a large group of people along a stable void route. After about a year of flying, they arrived at the South Luo 21 Star Continent Cluster.
Before even landing on the Star Continent, Zhao Xing heard many people discussing it.
"So many Realm Boat wrecks, how many people died?"
"Judging from this scale, there are at least more than one million Source Origin Realm. There are Realm Boat from the Flame Moon Ancient Kingdom, as well as the remnants of Realm Boat from the Demon Race."
"It's chaotic, too chaotic. The chaos coefficient exceeds 200. There are void turbulence and Voidless Wind everywhere, and the Taiyin Heavenly Thunder is raging... It will be very difficult for us to repair it."
"That Yin Star is now incomplete; could it be that a part of it was destroyed?"
"Hiss, that's true. I've been watching it, and it can't return to its full moon state."
"Can the mission be completed in two hundred years? I have a doubt about it."
"You think this money is easy to earn? Hmph, if we don't reduce the chaos index around South Luo 21 Star Continent within the stipulated time, we'll only get a minimum hard-earned fee."
"Is this new Five Mausoleums Marquis reliable? I've never heard of him. Besides, he hasn't said a single word since he came to the Cloud Firmament Hall No. 18."
"I think it's reliable. Aloofness is a symbol of a master of the Tian Shi School of Agriculture. Such people are usually very capable."
"That's not necessarily true. I heard that he got the position of Minister of Agricultural Official in the Cloud Firmament Hall No. 18 through connections."
"Shh, don't say anything, he's coming out."
Zhao Xing looked at the thousand Agricultural Official in the square.
Without saying much, he simply said, "The first task assigned by Hu Rui is to reduce the chaos level around this Star Continent we are standing on."
"Since everyone is at the second realm, dealing with these void turbulence, Voidless Wind, and Taiyin Heavenly Thunder will be a bit difficult. Therefore, we must act in groups of ten."
Zhao Xing pointed, and a thousand Dao Command flew out from his body. "I have regrouped you according to the abilities described in your information. The one who gets number 1 will be the team leader and will receive an extra bonus."
"The captaincy is rotated every thirty years; the capable rise and the weak fall."
"A total of one hundred groups will be formed, and a last-place elimination system will be implemented—"
Zhao Xing spoke of his own rules.
A buzz of discussion arose below, surprised that things would turn out so complicated under Zhao Xing's command.
A batch of people are eliminated every thirty years? Such short-sightedness is simply inhuman.
They gained another impression of their boss: cruel. "Now, get off the ship with me."
Zhao Xing knew they had no room to resist. The army was not a place where people could come and go as they pleased, at least not a place where these Second Realm Agricultural Official could talk.
Zhao Xing's orders were ironclad rules; they had no choice but to obey.
Disobey? Xin Chen's enforcement team is no joke.
After disembarking, Zhao Xing ordered a thousand Yunxiao Siming Agricultural Official to wait where they were, while he went to listen to Hu Rui's arrangements.
"Listen up, all of you! There are eighteen Agricultural Official commanders, each responsible for a region, and everyone's region is the same!" Hu Rui shouted. "Every fifty years, I will evaluate your work. Whoever falls into the bottom three will be demoted to team leader, and their bonus will be halved."
"I may not have much else here, but I have plenty of Agricultural Official. There are plenty of people in the Third Realm outside, and I don't know how many people are waiting to fill your positions."
"If you don't work hard, then just wait to be replaced!"
Zhao Xing was speechless. He had just set rules for others, and Hu Rui set the same rules for him.
Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp; it's all about exploiting people to the point of death.
After explaining the task, Zhao Xing was about to start the mission immediately, but was stopped by Hu Rui.
"Zhao Xing".
"Your subordinate is here." Zhao Xing flew forward again.
"Miss Lu asked me to take care of you," Hu Rui smiled. "You can go work in the Eastern Continent. There's very little war there, so the level of chaos is relatively low."
"Thank you, Lord Hu." Zhao Xing cupped his hands in thanks, and a bag of Seven Stars Ancient Coin transformed into a beam of light and disappeared into Hu Rui's sleeve.
Hu Rui shook his sleeves, his smile becoming even more amiable, "Guest Qi. Just let me know if anything comes up later."
"Thank you, sir." Zhao Xing cupped his hands in thanks again before beginning his work.
In the universe, governing a star continent is the most difficult task for the Celestial Time Faction's Minister of Agriculture, because unlike small worlds or boundary stars, it does not have natural boundary walls to protect it.
The Star Continent where Zhao Xing and his group landed was named Hu Rui Star Land.
After arriving in the Eastern Continent, he checked the coordinates on the panel and found that they were approximately 0 degrees off from the location he wanted to go.
3 star sectors.
"0.3 star sectors, then it's not in this Star Continent anymore." Zhao Xing looked at the star map, "We still need to fly over two Star Continent towards the Heaven Hook position."
"With the Yin Star as the origin, the place I want to go is Star Continent about 12943rd farthest from the Yin Star."
"The Star Continent I'm on is 12940."
"I need to speed up the work and finish the task ahead of schedule so that I can have some time to sneak out," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
If Zhao Xing works hard, the Agricultural Official below will suffer.
From the very first day they arrived on the Hu Rui Star Land, Zhao Xing and his thousand subordinate Agricultural Official had never rested.
Other Agricultural Official calculated progress on an annual basis, but Zhao Xing calculated it on a monthly basis.
The people below couldn't say anything yet.
Because Zhao Xing himself was not idle; he was either casting spells or on his way to cast spells every day.
One by one, the turbulent void currents were smoothed out, and one by one, the Voidless Wind were defeated—in just three years, most of the Taiyin Thunder and Hunling Cloud Qi that had covered the Eastern Continent had dispersed.
The incomplete Yin Star shone upon the Hu Rui Star Land, piercing the darkness.
Zhao Xing's team was the first to bring light to the eastern part of Hu Rui Star Land, transforming it from a dark wasteland.
"My lord, let's take a rest." Taking advantage of the results, the Agricultural Official immediately suggested to Zhao Xing that he take a break.
"Okay, everyone's tired, let's rest for a couple of days," Zhao Xing said.
"Thank you so much, sir!" The Agricultural Official who made the suggestion almost burst into tears.
Taking two days off every three years? Is that something a human being would do?
But at this moment, he was filled with gratitude and relief, and he had to thank Zhao Xing for his mercy.
"Thump~" "Thump~" "Thump~"
Most of the Agricultural Official simply lay down and went to sleep.
It's easy to imagine how exhausted they were.
"These Agricultural Official are still too weak." Zhao Xing sighed inwardly. "If it were the Agricultural Official from the Ancient Hill of Antiquity or the Red Star Empire, they could cast spells continuously at a high intensity for at least a hundred years without getting tired."
"The difference between Agricultural Official and someone who hasn't undergone extreme spellcasting training is truly enormous," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
The ability to continuously cast spells at the highest intensity for as long as possible is a key indicator of the difference between elite and ordinary troops. These second-realm Agricultural Official, who collapsed from exhaustion after only three years, are clearly not true elites.
"Forget it, we can't force it." Zhao Xing still didn't rest. He continued to cast spells to dispel the Hunling Cloud Qi in the starry sky above his head.
"Boom~ Boom~ Boom~"
The clouds in the starry sky continuously condensed into meteorites, heavy water spheres, and lightning balls, which fell down and crashed onto the ground.
However, as Zhao Xing cast his spell, the speed at which these Hunling Cloud Qi condensed slowed down, and their range became smaller and smaller.
Time passed quickly, and seven years later, in the year 1153 of the Shi Xin, arrived.
Zhao Xing's main body was still working on the Hu Rui Star Land, while the Star Shifting Formation on the side of the Giant Yang Clone began its final transformation.
"Metaphor"
Zhao Xing watched as the stars overhead distorted into beams of light, and then his vision blurred.
The stars overhead disappeared, replaced by a terrifying Primal Spirit.
The terrifying pressure made Zhao Xing shudder, and he immediately realized that his clone had appeared in an ancient tomb.
He immediately erected a protective shield to safeguard Jing Yan and Yu Tianqing. This was an instinct honed through countless trials—the first priority when entering unfamiliar territory was to protect his mage teammates.
Aries glanced at Zhao Xing and nodded slightly. "You're very good."
The Star Shifting Formation has a slight side effect, causing the soul, Golden Body, or Dao body to operate sluggishly.
Zhao Xing was one of the three who reacted the fastest. On the other two beams of light, a woman in red and a man in a blue cloak reacted almost the same way as Zhao Xing.
Of the three, only Zhao Xing managed to create a protective shield to protect his teammates.
Aries praised him, then waved his hand, and a pure white spiritual energy dispelled everyone's discomfort.
"Gentlemen, we have now entered the ancient tomb."
"This is a ' Realm Transmission '."
"The three Major Divine Ability beings of Starfire have all entered the Realm Transmission."
"The Realm Transmission of the Dao Domain Realm?" The woman in red's pupils contracted; what Aries said was quite astonishing.
Currently, only seven Dao Domain Realm tombs have been discovered in the Illusory God Star System, and they actually entered one of them! Moreover, they entered without making a sound!
"Red Peach Fairy, what questions do you have?" Aries asked.
"No," the Red Peach Fairy shook her head.
"I do." The well-dressed man in the blue cloak, named "Lan Hai," asked, "Sir, you said this is the [Realm Transmission]. Does that mean a Dao Domain Realm Starry Sky Historian is buried here?"
"Hmm." Aries nodded lightly, "The 'chuan 'in Realm Transmission), which is also the 'chuan' in 'Biographies ' (列传).
"The tombs of Starry Sky Historian are different from those of others; their tombs are a form of inheritance. Some historical secrets that they would not, and could not, disclose at the time, can only be passed down many years after their death."
"So you don't need to worry about danger. Either we won't be able to get in, or if we do, the danger will be greatly reduced. Because the tomb owner actually wants to see what he wrote down unearthed."
Hearing Aries say this, the people in the group calmed down a bit.
Before they arrived, they were not informed of the mission location and content. They had thought it might be Dao Domain Realm tomb, but it was just a guess about those normal professions.
It turned out to be an obscure burial site.
People who don't know much about the industry might think it's dangerous because they don't understand the profession.
Now that Aries says the danger is actually lower, they are not so afraid.
Only Zhao Xing was more determined.
Aries is right, but not entirely.
"The Realm Transmission indicates that the tomb owner compiled a ' Biographies,' which records the deeds of a court official."
"The deeds of the righteous are worthy of Biographies, and most of what can be said has already been passed down to the world."
"This place is filled with Primal Spirit thunderclouds, and the air is thick with eerie yin energy."
"What's buried here is probably all unspeakable 'mysterious tales' or 'ghostly tales'."
"Starfire is probably here with a premeditated purpose, looking for something," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "What could it be?"
"Could it be that they intend to supplement the section on ' Emperor Dharma Image ' in the Annals with the Biographies?"
The Biographies record conversations between ministers and Emperor Lord Realm, and even just seeing what Emperor Lord Realm looked like in ancient times is a great benefit to historians who have studied the "Annals".
The more realistic the historical figures added, the stronger their magic, and the stronger the [War Spirits] summoned from the River of History.
"Or perhaps you've found some Forbidden Art or artifacts from the underworld?"
Forbidden Art are spells or martial arts techniques that are even more powerful than Major Divine Ability, and are forbidden to be practiced because they are too powerful.
The Reincarnation Temple possesses a complete method for resurrection rituals, which is also Forbidden Art.
Since it's Forbidden Art, it's impossible for it to be spread all over the world.
Legend has it that long ago, powerful resurrection spells were not forbidden.
Because they have no fear of death, the wars between many powerful forces seem endless.
The Great Dao Wars were extremely bloody and dark; any record of them would affect the minds of cultivators, so history was erased.
Furthermore, due to the endless destruction caused by war, the environment of the Xuanling Star Domain collapsed rapidly, and thus those resurrection spells were sealed away.
"Let's take a look at the coordinates first." Zhao Xing lowered his head slightly and glanced at the panel.
[Sun Star 4, Fernshade 32, South Heaven Gate 21, Heavenly Kitchen 7; Dark Realm Wutu 42. ]
"Solar Yang Four? A non-human-made Sun Star in the Illusory God Star System? The appearance of the Fernshade indicates that the larger the number, the stronger the power of the Solar Yang's origin. Could this be in the Imperial Mausoleum area?"
"Hiss, Dark Realm 42? Starfire's here?!"
Zhao Xing was somewhat shocked.
When the coordinates of the Dark Realm appeared on the panel, Zhao Xing immediately felt a jolt of alarm.
Because this page contains a Profound Spirit History Book Fragment," and it's a very high-ranking page at that.
"The Profound Spirit History Book Fragment" theoretically has countless pages, as it generates one page every ten eras.
"It records the history of all ancient kingdoms and above in the Xuanling Star Domain."
"There are also changes in important areas within the star field, such as the Desolate Territory, and the advancement and decline of certain dead stars or top-level origin stars."
"I remember that the fragments hidden in the Yueluo Cemetery in my previous life were eventually taken away by the Origin Heavenly Palace. Could it be that the truth is not so? Did the Red Star Empire take them?"
"But I saw that page in the Origin Heavenly Palace too—" Zhao Xing frowned subconsciously.
Aries noticed Zhao Xing's subtle facial expressions and couldn't help but ask, "Zhao Xing, Jing Yan, what's wrong?"
"I'm fine with it." Jing Yan said excitedly, "I've never opened a historian's tomb before, haha, the archaeologist is being examined, this is really interesting."
"I have a problem." Zhao Xing looked at the dark surroundings. "How do we get out?"
Upon hearing Zhao Xing's words, everyone was startled to discover that the pillar of light beneath their feet had vanished without a trace of the Magic Array.
"As far as I know, the Star-Shifting Meridian-Fixing Array of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity can only be used once. We cannot replace the Earth Vein in the same place again." Zhao Xing had cultivated the Earthly Advantage Faction in the Ancient Hill of Antiquity in his previous life, so he was naturally aware of this.
"Good question." Aries nodded. "We won't go back the same way, but we'll leave through the setup left by the tomb's occupant."
"Do you remember what I just said? The person buried here wanted what he left behind to see the light of day again."
"Zhao Xing, do you have any more questions?"
"No more." Zhao Xing shook his head. He had never been here before; he had only heard of it in his previous life.
Dark Realm 42 was a place that was not allowed to be visited even later. It was guarded by the people of the Origin Heavenly Palace, supposedly to prevent the "Ten Tables" from being leaked and causing confusion in people's historical memories.
"Let's go." Aries took out a Star Dragon Compass, seemingly for positioning, and the crown on his head emitted bursts of starlight, enveloping everyone in the group.
The oppressive feeling of the Primal Spirit thunderclouds in the sky disappeared instantly, and it was obvious that Aries ' crown was a Taiyin Dao Soldiers.
"Jing Yan," Zhao Xing transmitted his voice, "You need to be careful. The Yin Tomb of the Starry Sky Historian is not as safe as Aries said."
Zhao Xing told Jing Yan about the differences between the Yin and Gui Realm Transmission.
"How dangerous is it?" Jing Yan asked.
"You might not be Jing Yan anymore after you leave."
"You will think of yourself as a minister of the Yue Luo Ancient Kingdom, or even as the Lord of the Kingdom —because your soul memories will be disordered and confused."
"Holy crap! Is it really that bad?" Jing Yan cursed, "We've fallen for that Aries of a bitch Aries's trick!"
Aries invited him to make some easy money, Jing Yan thought it would be something simple.
"No, he didn't lie to you." Zhao Xing looked at Aries's back. "No matter what happens next, no matter what treasures you see, don't leave Bai Yang's Ancient Crown. This Taiyin Dao Soldiers's crown is the Supreme Beginning Crown. As long as you follow his orders, the Supreme Beginning Crown will allow you to retain your memories."
Jing Yan blinked, indicating that he understood.
The Supreme Beginning Crown, also known as the Grand Historian Crown, means that only the Grand Historian could wear it.
Such treasures can no longer be made, because the ancient historians who caused trouble long ago were also extremely destructive war criminals.
Without the protection of the Supreme Beginning Crown, historians could easily distort history and overthrow an ancient kingdom at a great cost.
Before this, what did ancient historians do? A Grand Historian went to another country, picked up his pen and altered history, and then—the country changed hands, the feudal lords rebelled, and the Lord of the Kingdom abdicated!
Because since ancient times, the rulers of enemy countries have been their rulers, and the current Lord of the Kingdom is nothing but a traitor!
"Zhuo En's willpower ability is really a great help," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "Only willpower can resist such chaos."
Given the situation of the Giant Yang Clone, Zhao Xing's main body also took a rare rest, but his subordinates still had to work.
Since Zhao Xing himself doesn't need to expend mental energy, the willpower of the Giant Yang Clone can be more concentrated.
Aries led thirty people flying in a certain direction. After flying for about two months, they finally saw traces of human activity in this small world.
A city wall appeared before them. The wall was gray and seemed infinitely high, reaching the Boundary Wall.
It stretches infinitely to the left and right; even a hundred million kilometers away, it remains a city wall, seemingly without end.
Aries landed in front of the city gate with his people.
"Splash!"
A turbid river in front of the city surged, its faint ripples quickly attracting everyone's attention.
Surprisingly, the reflection in the river was not of them, but of a group of strangers.
"Slaughter Thought Blade, slash slash slash!" Zhao Xing sensed something was wrong and immediately cut through the illusion before him, regaining his senses.
"Don't look!" Zhao Xing immediately shouted telepathically, stopping Jing Yan.
Jing Yan's expression changed, and he abruptly looked up. Before him stood a burly general clad in silver armor.
It is disappearing very quickly.
The others were affected to varying degrees. Two martial artists at the Minor Mystic Power Realm even changed into a new set of armor and subconsciously adjusted their facial muscles to resemble their reflections in the river.
"Buzz~" The Supreme Beginning Crown on Aries' head trembled, and everyone immediately regained their senses.
"Don't look down," Aries warned. "People will die."
"What is this?" The Red Peach Fairy turned pale. She had just been touching her own stomach. This was too strange.
"By taking history as a mirror, we can understand the rise and fall of dynasties; by taking bronze as a mirror, we can correct our appearance."
"This is a major category of magic in the Ten Tables, the ' Bronze History Art,' Reverse Action Divine Power."
"Time flows like a river, and the strong leave their mark. You have been influenced by the Dao bodies of the strong who once stood here."
"Just looking at it, it's already so powerful." Lan Hai Haixi sighed. "I've heard that the Dao body of someone in the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm is flawless. Just looking at it, one's Dao essence will make people subconsciously imitate and learn from it."
"If you don't get rid of it in time, you will involuntarily try to adjust your physical body, eventually Going Berserk."
He died by self-destruction.
"So don't look down," Aries chuckled. "Just follow instructions, and everything will be fine."
After this, some people immediately fixed their gazes on Aries ' Ancient Crown, while others simply closed their eyes.
They fly and follow the wind by judging its movement.
It took a full Heavenly Timing to cross this moat.
"Once you land, don't look down."
The voice of Aries entered my mind.
Zhao Xing landed as instructed, only to find that he was not stepping on mud, but rather on a stack of papers.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xing saw Aries arrive at the huge city gate, do something, and then suddenly grow taller.
An umbrella appeared behind him, and a strange beast, resembling both a horse and a tiger, emerged from under his arm, wreathed in flames.
"The city gates are about to open. You must resist the sounds around you. If you can't bear it, don't take your eyes off my crown and sash, and don't stray more than 10,000 meters away."
Just as Aries finished speaking, a loud rumble was heard, and it seemed that the mechanism had been activated.
Several layers of the city wall cracked open, revealing a wide road ahead.
At the same time, a sound came from inside.
"Grand Tutor Ruan Chang, after his expedition to the Gui Sea, has returned in triumph."
Zhao Xing felt that the voice was ethereal, and a scene seemed to appear before his eyes. The Aries in front of him had become a triumphant commander, and he himself had become his personal guard.
However, this bodyguard was strangely shaped and tall, and if he didn't become like him, it would seem disrespectful. There was an unconscious sense of etiquette that seemed to be binding him to become that tall as well.
Above the passageway leading into the city, there were rows of sharp spikes, which seemed to be coated with Yin Poison.
Zhao Xing endured his discomfort and remained calm, only to find that Jing Yan was completely unharmed.
"How... how did you do that?"
"What? How did you do that?" Jing Yan asked without looking away.
"Didn't you hear that sound?"
"I heard you."
"Then how did you—"
"I don't understand," Jing Yan said. "I have no idea what it's saying. It just sounds a bit effeminate and annoying. "Zhao Xing looked at the others, including a few martial artists who were also not affected much. They obviously couldn't understand the language of the Yue Luo Ancient Kingdom either.
For the first time, Old Master Zhao realized that learning too much was not a good thing.
I actually suffered because I'm educated!
"If you don't understand its meaning, you won't be moved by its spirit. Even the most profound Ten Tables texts are useless against an illiterate person." Zhao Xing muttered to himself as he followed them inside.
Aries is very fast, ignoring all the strange sights, traps, and hidden weapons in the city.
Zhao Xing is now certain that Starfire must have been calculating this place over the past seven thousand years.
Or perhaps a clue was discovered by chance, and for thousands of years, the clue was followed to expand and refine the deduction.
After passing through the passageway, a wide avenue came into view, and the quiet environment suddenly became noisy.
Pedestrians were like rain on the road, while celestial maidens flew in the sky carrying blue robes.
"Dawn's Lull~"
Various strange beasts drove their chariots across the sky, and one could hear hawkers' cries and singing and dancing all around.
"The newly minted Taiyin Dao Soldiers of the Yue Luo Ancient Kingdom only require 200,000 Seven Stars Ancient Coin!"
"The Yulong Fairy of Heavenly Sound Tower is opening her shop today. She possesses Ten Thousand Laws Dao Body. After a year of union, her cultivation level can increase by one era. The highest bidder wins!"
"Get out of my way! Are you blind? Don't block the Grand Tutor's path!"
So realistic, it's incredibly realistic!
Zhao Xing, Jing Yan, Lan Hai, and Red Peach Fairy could all sense that these figures were real, their auras were real, and even the Dao soldiers displayed outside were real.
All of this makes one want to take a closer look.
Zhao Xing was extremely distressed by this information, even though he could fully understand it, and it had a particularly significant impact on him.
On the contrary, Jing Yan, this uncultured fellow countryman of the empire, kept a close eye on the Ancient Crown.
"Sever the flesh with the blade, sever the soul with the heart, with only one will, slaughter all living beings!" Zhao Xing silently recited the incantation in his heart.
At this moment, he indiscriminately hated all illusions and used murderous intent to suppress all thoughts.
Gradually, these sounds faded away.
"We're almost there," came Aries ' voice. "Those who can't hold on can rest at the Time Station Inn ahead."
"I will leave a spell there to keep you conscious."
"Let us stay?" Lan Hai asked, puzzled. "What is the purpose of Lord Aries bringing us here?"
"Of course I'll need your help sometimes," Aries said calmly. "Including those who stay on this road, they also serve a purpose for me."
Zhao Xing understood what Aries was talking about.
Because as they approached the palace ahead, Aries left one person behind at regular intervals.
"I'm afraid Supreme Beginning Crown can't stop him from going where he wants to go. Aries is using us as a memory anchor."
"Should I go with them?" Zhao Xing wondered to himself.
Now Aries has four people left: himself, Jing Yan, Red Peach Fairy, and Lan Hai.
With the magnificent palace, resembling an imperial palace, right before his eyes, Zhao Xing wondered whether he should say he couldn't hold on any longer.
After guessing Aries's intentions, he realized that this person didn't need anyone's help in the fight.
"Jing Yan, stay here, you can't hold on much longer." Aries threw down three ancient coins, then placed a crown on Jing Yan's head.
"Do not leave the ancient coin triangle area."
"Yes." Jing Yan sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.
After a while, the Red Peach Fairy and the Lan Hai were also left behind.
At this point, Aries seems to be marking people, leaving one person behind wherever they go.
When they arrived at the palace, only Aries and Zhao Xing remained.
"Lord Aries, I can't hold on any longer either," Zhao Xing said, his voice trembling.
Aries paused, then nodded slightly and tossed an Ancient Crown to Zhao Xing.
Then three more ancient coins were thrown out, locking down an area.
"Put it on, don't move."
Aries seemed to be speaking less and less. Zhao Xing obediently put on the Ancient Crown, and a cool feeling spread throughout his body, nourishing his soul.
"Grand Tutor, please dismount from your horse in the Imperial Palace!"
The palace guards stopped the Aries on horseback.
The strange beast mount under Aries suddenly disappeared.
He then entered the palace.
Zhao Xing couldn't help but glance at it, only to see Aries completely disappear, enveloped by the dark palace gates.
The palace gate resembled the Abyss maw of a giant beast, or a bottomless abyss.
Zhao Xing quickly focused his mind, silently recited the incantation, and stopped being distracted.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of the palace gates opening rang out again.
Then a sound of footsteps slowly approached and stopped in front of Zhao Xing.
"Zhao Xing, let's go."
The speaker was Aries, who was still wearing that Grand Historian Crown.
It looks the same as before.
However, Zhao Xing's heart was in his throat.
Because he used the panel's detection function to take another look at Aries.
The information is displayed as follows:
[Name: Yang Baihe / Ruan Chang]
[Profession:???]
[Realm: Grand Mystic Power Realm / Life and Death Dao Domain Realm (Abnormal)]
"Oh no!" Zhao Xing thought to himself.
