The Giant Yang Clone the Mysterious Spirit History: Time Page, was absorbed into its body without leaving a trace.

On the Hu Rui Star Land, Zhao Xing's true form displayed an extremely interesting expression.

"So the Transmission Tomb Boat capsized because of this thing. Its power disrupted spacetime. Does that mean the location of the Profound Spirit History Book Fragment is in the reversed river where the ' Bronze History Art ' was formed?"

"My Giant Yang Clone seized it, triggering its effect."

After Zhao Xing absorbed the Time Page into his body, his soul carefully observed it.

It was a thin sheet of white paper, almost as thin as it was, only half a meter long and wide, with fine lines on it.

When Zhao Xing's soul examined it, the fine lines magnified, as if countless rivers had appeared.

The river flowed out of the paper and disappeared into the void.

"This only applies to Time Reversal within the Realm Transmission," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "My true self is outside, where time is normal. It's still the year 1158 of the Shi Xin."

In 1146, the original and the clone began to act separately, and twelve years have passed since then.

The internal structure of the Realm Transmission has changed, but the external structure remains the same.

"It only affects a branch of the Time Great Dao." Zhao Xing quickly understood.

"Although I don't know the specifics of how to use it, I got my hands on it, so I'm unaffected and still remember everything."

The others did not know.

At this moment, Zhao Xing couldn't examine it closely, since it was just a clone, and the environment didn't allow him to take it out for a closer look.

So he had to suppress his curiosity for the time being.

"Gentlemen, we have now entered the ancient tomb."

"This is a ' Realm Transmission '."

"The three Major Divine Ability of Starfire have all entered the Realm Transmission— "

Zhao Xing heard Aries's words again. He glanced around and found Jing Yan and Yu Tianqing beside him.

However, Yu Tianqing was frowning, seemingly awakening his talent.

Zhao Xing remained silent, only talking to Jing Yan.

After finishing his explanation, Aries took out his birth chart and began to find his way.

Zhao Xing tentatively asked via telepathy, "Jing Yan, I noticed that other outsourced members are in groups of three to five, but we only have two. We're at a disadvantage—."

"Brother, you're not treating Xiao Yu like a human being anymore." Jing Yan was taken aback. "Although Xiao Yu doesn't like to talk and has had all his bones replaced, he's still a human being. How can you not treat him like one?"

"I was just kidding."

Zhao Xing didn't say much. He noticed that Jing Yan still remembered Yu Tianqing. "It seems Yu Tianqing was forgotten when crossing the river or entering the city."

Zhao Xing counted again and found that the group indeed had thirty people. However, apart from Lan Hai and the Red Peach Fairy, he didn't have any particular impression of the others.

"Judging by the time, we should find the right location in a few days," Zhao Xing pondered. "Should we remind Aries this time and try to rescue him?"

Aries is a Major Divine Ability. If he were alive, he could use the Realm Cultivator Brush, the Grand Historian Crown, and the Preaching Book, and could exert some of their power.

The three of them would then not have to endure several years of fighting and fleeing.

Who would choose to fight to the death if they could just lie down?

"Although Yue Nv and Chen Xuan are also powerful, they are not as professionally suited as Aries. We don't even know whether the Transmission Tomb Boat collapsed because of the Time Page, or whether these two used the right tools."

"If Aries survives, Yu Tianqing and I won't have to work so hard. Especially with Lao Yu's Major Divine Ability talent, the risk of exposure will be reduced."

Zhao Xing thought for a moment and decided to offer a limited reminder to Aries. If Aries wouldn't listen, then so be it.

"Aries."

Zhao Xing transmitted his voice to Aries.

"Zhao Xing, what's wrong?" Aries responded quickly, as he had a good impression of Zhao Xing.

The Star Shifting Formation causes a slight soul tremor, but Zhao Xing, Hongtao, and Lan Hai were the quickest to react. Zhao Xing took steps to protect his teammates, while the other two did not.

"Lord Aries— "

"Just call me Aries, or Captain Aries."

"Yes, Captain Aries." Zhao Xing carefully chose his words: "What Captain Aries is holding looks like the historian's."

"Timing Disk?"

"Oh? You figured it out?" Aries was a little surprised. He was using the steering wheel for finding stars and locating pulses, but he was actually using it to set the time.

Because he has the Major Divine Ability Time Retracing, he can see what has happened in the past.

In fact, Aries ' perspective is completely different from that of others.

What Zhao Xing and the others saw was a desolate wasteland with thunderclouds overhead, but in Aries's eyes, it was a sunny and vibrant scene with pedestrians and flying boats constantly passing by.

Seeing the various scenes of the past, one can quickly know the location of the royal city by observing passersby and road signs.

However, such Major Divine Ability are not without danger.

Especially after entering the Realm Transmission, Aries may have some difficulty distinguishing between the past and the present.

The function of the Timing Disk is to act as an anchor, reminding him that he lives in the second era of the Desolate Territory Era, rather than at any other point in time.

"My master, Qingyuzi, was the Minister of Agriculture of the Tianshi School, but he was also quite knowledgeable in history. I once accompanied him to the residence of a historian and saw a time-measuring disc."

Zhao Xing habitually used the Qing Yuzi as an excuse.

Don't ask, it's all taught by Teacher Qing Yuzi!

"I see. The Celestial Time faction's Minister of Agriculture is very sensitive to the time of day—but it's quite novel that you've chosen the Primal Self faction." Aries is still quite easygoing.

The Yue Nv was cold-blooded, and Chen Xuan was irritable, but Aries, the historian, was full of wisdom. After all, this path was developed from the Ritual Cultivator.

"Captain Aries, so you're actually a historian?" Zhao Xing asked, feigning surprise.

"I knew I wasn't wrong about you, you reacted very quickly." Aries readily admitted, "I wasn't deliberately hiding it from you, but rather I was preparing for the Realm Transmission."

"Are you going to play the role of a martial artist from the Realm Transmission?" Zhao Xing suddenly thought that Grand Tutor Ruan Chang should be a powerful martial artist.

When he died at the execution ground, his aura soared to the sky, his Golden Body was enormous, and he seemed to have cultivated the supernatural power of transformation. Without a doubt, he was a martial artist.

"Your teacher is truly knowledgeable; you guessed it so quickly," Aries praised. "Indeed, Starfire has been preparing for this trip for a long time. I also specifically learned some martial arts techniques and imitated them in my speech and behavior, all to better immerse myself in the role when I come in."

"To get a role in the Realm Transmission, you usually need to make thorough preparations."

"If I'm the closest to the original character among the people who come in, and no one is competing with me for it, then the character's [label] will quickly fall on me."

"I see." Zhao Xing looked enlightened.

Clearly, Starfire's recruitment strategy is very deliberate; none of the three teams have a second historian as a classmate.

At the same time, only Aries knows the history of the Yue Luo Ancient Kingdom best, so he is undoubtedly the one who should be the 'protagonist'.

Zhao Xing was reminded of something by Aries, and he suddenly remembered something. He quietly sealed his memories of Ruan Chang, which would not be unlocked until the tag was confirmed.

Because he had seen too much from the Realm Cultivator Brush during his last adventure, and he had also obtained a lot of secret historical materials from Du Yun.

Therefore, he now knows too much, and coupled with his identity as a martial artist, he fits the role of the 'protagonist' very well.

"If I don't seal away the memories of Ruan Chang, that heroic spirit might possess me, and then I'll be completely doomed."

Zhao Xing quickly settled the matter before continuing his conversation with Aries.

"Captain, so you're saying you'll be the main character in this Realm Transmission later?" Zhao Xing asked. "Are we all just your memory anchors?"

"Yes." Aries isn't afraid to talk about these things with people.

It turned out that Aries had taken the initiative to greet and bow down— Zhao Xing also understood why Aries had come out of the palace not long after entering and why he hadn't attacked them.

"Since they are figures from Biographies, the historical spirits that appear must be very powerful. Captain, you also said that this is a Dao Domain Realm tomb. Is there any danger?" Zhao Xing asked.

"For example, the appearance of heroic spirits at the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm."

"That's a possibility," Aries said. "However, I'm confident I can handle it."

You have absolutely no confidence. You failed miserably last time, okay?!

However, Zhao Xing also understood that he couldn't persuade him in this way.

Aries, being such a genius, and having prepared for thousands of years, is undoubtedly very confident!

How many people with exceptional abilities and talents, who are frequently praised by those around them, wouldn't become arrogant?

People who can maintain constant reverence for the universe and possess a humble heart are extremely rare. They usually only wake up after being severely punished a few times.

Without a doubt, Aries has made a major mistake this time.

Zhao Xing didn't know how to persuade him anymore, so he started asking for advice in fits and starts.

Aries was quite patient and talked to him a lot.

It was mainly because Zhao Xing was knowledgeable that Aries was willing to chat for a bit.

"Your teacher is truly learned and talented; he knows so much."

"You even know that the 'substituting one Plum Replaces Peach ' technique, combined with going against the grain, can replace the protagonist's position?" Aries couldn't help but exclaim. "This technique is quite obscure; it's been lost for a long time."

"My master has always maintained a sense of awe towards all things in the universe."

"So he learned a little bit of everything. He was cautious and prudent his whole life, and his principle was to win by being steady and secure."

"Unfortunately, his last act of arrogance cost him his life," Zhao Xing said.

"So your master has passed away? What a pity—" Aries pondered after hearing this.

The two did not speak again, and soon Aries found the Historical City.

Upon reaching the moat, Yu Tianqing frowned and his body suddenly trembled.

The next moment, he disappeared right under Zhao Xing's nose, becoming transparent.

Neither Jing Yan nor Aries noticed anything unusual.

Only Zhao Xing retained his memory, because nothing was more important than the priority of the Mysterious Spirit History.

If one can retain memories even after Time Reversal, what is a mere Realm Transmission?

Only after Yu Tianqing awakens his innate Major Divine Ability and gradually becomes familiar with it will he be able to reduce the power of the Shi family's four supernatural powers that are placed on him.

The last time was because Zhao Xing spent a year killing a million Fire Turtle, while Yu Tianqing continued to work hard.

That's why Zhao Xing and Aries saw it.

However, Aries was too preoccupied with that at the time.

"Don't look at the river, stare at the crown on my head."

Everyone arrived at the river of historical reflections, imbued with the Bronze History Art.

What happened next was exactly the same.

Lan Hai sighed, the Red Peach Fairy touched her belly, and Yu Tianqing was somewhat bewildered.

But after crossing the river, some changes occurred.

Perhaps moved by Qing Yuzi's story, Aries did something after crossing the river but before entering the city.

"Annals Summoning Art".

A thick ancient book appeared in Aries' hands, and then a small figure jumped out of the book, which was none other than Yang Baihe, dressed in a dragon robe and Canopy on his head.

Everyone else was looking at the crown and ribbon, but only Zhao Xing and Yu Tianqing noticed this scene.

Aries only explained to Zhao Xing, "This is my clone technique, which allows me to accept the possession of heroic spirits."

"I once established a dynasty in a medium-sized small world, then unified the entire world and ascended the throne as emperor."

He has written himself into history.

"Thus, this ' Chronicle Clone ' came into being."

"The captain is amazing," Zhao Xing exclaimed.

This method is truly amazing; it allows one to summon oneself, and it's even at the Grand Mystic Power Realm!

However, Aries must have put in a lot of effort, since the history of a typical small world cannot provide such power.

The small world that Aries has built will also be his core secret; its location cannot be exposed, or it will exist in an absolutely safe place.

Because if that world were to perish and its history to be completely erased, the power of the Chronicle Clone that were closely connected to it would be greatly reduced, or even completely collapse.

"Zhao Xing, can you give me a ride?" Aries said.

"Okay." Zhao Xing understood immediately, and his body grew a little larger.

He originally wanted to catch Aries in his hand, but Aries jumped into his ear instead.

Seeing Zhao Xing's somewhat stunned expression, Aries explained with a smile, "People from Starfire have a habit: when they ride in Qi Sect Martial Practitioner's car, the seat is inside their ear."

"It's convenient to talk and easy to run out. If you swallow it, it's not convenient to come out and it's also difficult to observe."

"Good habit." Zhao Xing nodded.

The journey into the city that followed was exactly the same as before, except that Aries ' true form was inside his ear, while his avatar from the original story was Chronicle Clone way.

Only Yu Tianqing witnessed the entire process. He looked puzzled, but he didn't ask any questions.

Because Zhao Xing gave him a subtle hand gesture.

After entering the city, they left ancient coins and crowns to the team members, while Aries's Chronicle Clone entered the palace.

Yu Tianqing received Zhao Xing's telepathic message and obediently stayed with Jing Yan.

Because Zhao Xing told him about his innate Major Divine Ability and instructed him to cultivate next to Jing Yan and ponder the Major Divine Ability.

Zhao Xing gave him a year to familiarize himself with the [Eye of Insight].

Once he completely breaks free from the power of his supernatural abilities, Aries will naturally remember him. As long as he doesn't overly reveal his special abilities or interfere with the plot, he can easily find an excuse at that time. Starfire won't keep prying into other people's trump cards and privacy.

wait.

This time the wait was longer than the last.

Zhao Xing waited outside the palace for three whole years for Aries's Chronicle Clone, whereas last time it took at most three months for Aries to be instantly killed.

"Hiss~" The real Aries slumped into Zhao Xing's ear.

"What's wrong, Captain?" Zhao Xing asked, feigning surprise. "Don't scare me."

"That son of a bitch is actually at the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm! And he's a brain-dead Grand Tutor!" Aries was furious. His previous arrogance had completely vanished.

"My Chronicle Clone only lasted three years in the Extreme Dao Hall before being completely controlled by Ruan Chang's heroic spirit. I placed five Taiyin Dao Soldiers on my Chronicle Clone! The avatar is now stronger than my original self, yet it still couldn't withstand the corruption."

"What?" Zhao Xing feigned surprise. "Captain, what do we do now?"

Aries said with lingering fear, "Zhao Xing, I owe my life to our conversation earlier."

"For now, I'm alright. My true form is unharmed, so there's still room for maneuver— Itch Soul Ancient Coin, rise!"

Aries cast a spell, and the three ancient coins surrounding Zhao Xing flew up automatically.

Afterwards, Aries led Zhao Xing and immediately hid in the wall not far from the palace.

Zhao Xing was surprised to find that Aries had somehow managed to trap him in a narrow space between the pages of the book.

"As expected, everyone has their own expertise. I don't even know how I got in here." Zhao Xing looked at the white paper space around him and marveled inwardly.

The space in the corner has three sides: white on the left and right, and transparent in front, allowing observation of the outside world and a view of the palace gate.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xing saw the appearance of Aries's Chronicle Clone, while Aries's true form sat cross-legged, seemingly performing a spell.

This time, Yu Tianqing did not appear, and Ruan Chang's Chronicle Clone left directly, just like last time.

"What a bastard." Aries opened his eyes at this moment.

"What's wrong, Captain?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Ruan Chang's spirit has actually gone to give orders to his subordinates, commanding them not to resist," Aries exclaimed. "He willingly accepted his fate and even wanted his subordinates to give up resistance. Those who disobeyed were killed on the spot."

"What kind of lousy Grand Tutor is this?"

"That's definitely a bit perverted," Zhao Xing shook his head. "What do we do now?"

"Go to the palace and retrieve the Realm Cultivator Brush, the Grand Historian Crown, and the Preaching Book. These three treasures are also the purpose of this trip," Aries said. "Once we have them, we can leave."

Then Aries seemed to be talking to the others. "Yue Nv, have Chen Xuan lure away the palace guards and create chaos to give me an opportunity."

"No problem." The Yue Nv on the other side nodded, then tapped Chen Xuan's eardrum. "Get to work, big guy."

After waiting for about half a month, a large number of Book Puppet troops suddenly flew out of the palace and flew in one direction.

"Zhao Xing, come with me into the palace."

Zhao Xing wasn't really keen on going. "Captain, can I go instead?"

"You're safest with me. You can't stay in this corner space once I leave."

"When we enter the palace, all you have to do is shield me from sneak attacks. If we encounter any important supporting characters, I'll use magic."

"OK.

So Zhao Xing followed Aries into the palace.

Aries cast a supernatural spell on Zhao Xing: "See Nothing, Hear Nothing."

His journey was smooth throughout until he met Jun Yichen.

"Who dares to trespass into the palace!"

"Pfft~"

Zhao Xing's shoulder was grazed by the Fire Tipped Spear once again.

"I give up, I'm going to suffer again."

Fortunately, he doesn't need to perform here.

Aries has a better understanding of the history of the Yue Luo Ancient Kingdom.

After he appeared, he handed Jun Yichen a letter. Without even asking any questions, the man led his men to storm the palace and remonstrate to the death. He didn't even utter a word. It was that simple.

"That way."

Aries points the way, Zhao Xing leads the way.

For Aries, overcoming the barrier of Realm Cultivator Brush was even easier than for Yu Tianqing.

Aries summoned the Book of History, turned to a page, and beckoned with a wave of his hand. "Pen, come!"

Immediately afterwards, the Realm Cultivator Brush flew out automatically and landed in his hand.

"Captain, isn't this too easy for you?" Zhao Xing, somewhat surprised.

"Only through countless trials and meticulous preparations can one appear so effortless," Aries laughed. "Starfire helped me collect forty-nine pages of fragments from the Yue Luo Ancient Kingdom's history books; each page could fetch the price of a Taiyin Dao Soldiers."

"However, only seven pages are actually useful, which, combined with my spells, is barely enough."

"The captain is being modest," Zhao Xing said.

Not long after, Grand Historian Crown and the Preaching Book were also taken away.

When the Preaching Book is moved, the power of the Book Puppet is greatly reduced.

At the same time, the riot and purge storylines also began.

Sieve, sieve, sieve~

[---The tyrant and the wicked empress purged those who knew the truth, resulting in countless deaths and injuries both inside and outside the palace. However, Yang Baihe and Zhao Xing escaped the palace unharmed, found their companions, and successfully reunited with Chen Xuan and Yue Nv.]

Aries holds the Realm Cultivator Brush and writes words in the void.

Zhao Xing was speechless after reading it.

Now that the three pieces are on Aries, this person is even more powerful than the tomb owner. How the plot unfolds is entirely up to Aries.

They successfully left the city, and Aries then reunited with the remaining team members.

Lan Hai and the Red Peach Fairy are still alive. Only three unlucky souls died in the chaos because they couldn't resist fear and temptation and left the ancient coin area.

Eight days later, Chen Xuan and Yue Nv's team also appeared beside Aries.

Aries waved, and everyone transferred to another train.

It came out of Zhao Xing's ear and jumped into Chen Xuan's ear.

"Giant Sun Golden Body? Hmm, or a clone—that's interesting." Chen Xuan praised, a compliment from one big guy to another.

Zhao Xing cupped his hands in greeting, shrunk in size, and entered Chen Xuan's ear.

As soon as I came in, I saw Aries still writing.

A large number of powerful cultivators at the Grand Mystic Power Realm slaughtered each other before Chen Xuan's eyes, including those possessing the "Bronze Gate" and "History City" divine powers.

After he finished writing, Chen Xuan began to touch the treasure.

All the supernatural powers that Aries wanted dropped!

"If this profession isn't nerfed, how can it be played?" Zhao Xing was speechless.

Aries obtained the Historian's Three Treasures, and the challenge became easy mode.

They soon arrived at the south gate.

Aries, wielding the Realm Cultivator Brush, caused these Book Puppet to inexplicably leave their posts.

Then, Aries came out, drew a stroke with the Realm Cultivator Brush, and the city gate automatically opened a gap.

Unlike Zhao Xing last time, they don't need to throw things into the mouth of the tomb beast.

"Buzz~"

Everyone appeared outside the city.

"What did we do?" Jing Yan asked, looking completely bewildered.

He reviewed the situation and realized that he hadn't done anything. He had just sat in the ancient coin area watching the show for several years, and then Zhao Xing and Aries came to find him and took him to their car.

Then the journey was smooth sailing.

Although we didn't obtain any treasures, we weren't in any danger either.

"You were frightened, so even if you didn't do anything special, you still put in the effort," Zhao Xing joked.

In contrast, the rest of the group faced some crises.

For example, Lan Hai still witnessed Aries being taken away in a prison van and almost ran away on his own; any later and he would have lost his life.

For example, the Red Peach Fairy had already been captured and turned into a furnace once again, but the Aries changed the ending with the Realm Cultivator Brush and she was rescued again.

Jing Yan and Yu Tianqing were much better off. With Lao Yu around, the two of them were not in any danger at all, and any danger they encountered was warned of early on.

Zhao Xing and Aries were the first to find them, so the two of them were only slightly frightened before completing the mission.

"I originally planned to go in myself, but to deal with the possession by the heroic spirit, I arranged for you to be on the only way, as a second set of anchor points to remind myself," Aries explained.

Zhao Xing asked in confusion, "Captain, why did you originally intend to risk your life using your true form?"

"Adding the [Emperor Dharma Image] will enhance the power of the Chronicle Clone," Aries remarked. "I only changed my mind later."

"Although we have lost our Chronicle Clone, we have survived and completed our mission. Fortune and misfortune are intertwined, and fate is unpredictable."

"Aries, stop lamenting, let's go outside first," Yue Nv reminded her.

As for Chen Xuan, who is usually irritable, he remained silent and appeared very well-behaved in front of Aries.

He had been severely beaten by Aries. One of the training methods in Starfire was to throw people into Aries's own realm to undergo trials.

Once inside, they're completely at the mercy of Aries, who molds them into someone who has no temper left.

"Don't rush, the road must come first before the boat. Let me write a safe road first," Aries said with a smile.

"What would happen if an outsider came to recruit Transmission Tomb Boat?" Zhao Xing asked.

Aries clearly had more patience with Zhao Xing, so he stopped casting the spell and offered an answer first, "Then we can only hope that things will work themselves out. How we get out depends on luck. Perhaps this Tomb Boat will wander around for a long time before it finally gets on the right track."

After the Transmission Tomb Boat was summoned, it took fifteen days to appear outside Dark Realm 42.

Everyone felt a bone-chilling cold in an instant.

Because they appeared on the satellite of the Yin Star.

Due to its extreme age, the Transmission Tomb Boat collapsed immediately upon appearing in the outside world.

Many of them could not directly withstand the light of the Lunar Yin Origin at such close range. Fortunately, Chen Xuan, a top-tier beast, was there. He scooped everyone up and placed them in his ear.

"Captain, should we mark this place?" Chen Xuan asked.

"No need," Aries shook his head and said, "The movement of this dark star is unpredictable; it will soon be lost in the distance."

"What you see is a crescent moon because it is about to fall into the Void River and will reappear in the next cycle."

"After it completely disappears, another, more powerful primordial star of the Solar Yang will appear, and even your Third Sun Tier Golden Body will find it difficult to withstand."

"Let's go quickly."

"Oh, oh." Chen Xuan didn't know what he was talking about. Since Aries said he wanted to leave, he should leave quickly.

So he bent his fingers into a sword, cleaved through the void, and jumped into the turbulent void.

However, Chen Xuan moved forward in a shuttle-like manner, only entering the shallow void each time to accelerate and then quickly exiting.

After all, this is the central area of Yueluo Cemetery, and no one knows if they will encounter terrifying turbulence. If the current speed exceeds a certain limit, he will not be able to jump out and will be trapped and die in it.

Upon Hu Rui Star Land, Zhao Xing's true form let out a long breath.

"They're finally out. It seems Starfire had a plan. It shouldn't be difficult for Chen Xuan, a Major Divine Ability being, to get back in time."

"It could take anywhere from fifty years to ten years for them to leave the Yueluo Cemetery."

"However, Aries might wonder why the time outside doesn't match the time inside."

"But there's no way they could suspect me, let alone connect it to the Profound Spirit History Book Fragment."

The concept of time is confused in the Realm Transmission, which is quite normal, otherwise Aries wouldn't bring Timing Disk.

"Although I didn't receive those Mystic Power Edict, this time the gains far exceeded my expectations," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "Yu Tianqing awakened his innate Major Divine Ability, gained merit, and even obtained a page of the Mysterious Spirit History that can rewind time."

He has been in the universe for over a thousand years, and all his achievements are not as great as a single page of the Mysterious Spirit History!

"Even if you sold a hundred Purple God Mansion, including all their people and possessions, it wouldn't be worth a fraction of this." Now that the crisis was over, Zhao Xing couldn't help but feel excited.

The Mysterious Spirit History is a creation of the Ancient God of history. Although the Mysterious Spirit History has many pages, I only have one page.

But it is a very important Time Page!

"This thing is definitely a divine artifact. The only question is how powerful its effects are and how long it can revert back in time," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"Generally speaking, the value of Time Page depends on its scope and age."

"In my hands, I only demonstrated the scope of that small world that could be traced back to the Realm Transmission, and only traced back a few years."

But that doesn't mean it's only that large.

"However, it will be difficult to get rid of this thing," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"The Reincarnation Temple forbids the buying and selling of Time Page, and all ancient kingdoms must abide by this rule. Because Time Page can rewind to a period of time up to one era, it is essentially a form of resurrection."

"Buying and selling it carries risks, but it also depends on the people involved. If it's between holders of the Reincarnation Realm, then there's no problem."

"Turning it over is an option, but the benefits gained are too small; only a fool would do it."

"Once I reach the Reincarnation Realm and find the right buyer, I can exchange it for a Reincarnation Dao Soldier, or even an Emperor Grade weapon."

"If I don't plan to sell it, then it's like a second life. In the future, when Ji Si becomes stronger, even if I die outside, as soon as he gets the news, he can bring this thing back to the past and I can be resurrected."

Even if he's poor, he won't risk his life. Zhao Xing doesn't intend to use it to solve the problem of the "Three Gods Fate Palace".

"After two more versions, the Reincarnation Temple will have less control, and plenty of people will dare to buy it."

Zhao Xing has another advantage in having it: he is not afraid of being tricked by Fate Master. Any divination he receives will produce a coincidental accident due to the divine level of the Time Page.

Similar to a divine object automatically protecting its master, but the Time Page blurs the past and future, Yuke Fate Master.

"Now that this task is completed, it shouldn't be too difficult for me to find Starfire to transport the people of Great Zhou to the Red Star Empire," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Others may not have made such great contributions, but Aries knows that he has both merit and hard work.

Once the decision was made, Zhao Xing's true form immediately contacted Ji Che.

"Che, set up a special account for Ji Si."

"Ji Si?" Ji Che asked, somewhat puzzled. "His resources are already the most among the important officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Do we need to increase them further?"

"Yes, I'll give him 500 million Red Star Coin. This money will only be for his use. After that Ji Si will not leave with you; she will stay by my side," Zhao Xing said.

After acquiring the Fire Turtle and purchasing historical materials, he only had a little over 700 million Red Star Coin left in his working capital.

The fact that Ji Si has now allocated over 500 million to Ji Che in one go has completely astonished him.

"Did I hear that right? Not 500 Origin Sea Coin, but 500 million Red Star Coin?"

"Yes, the Fate Master controls the future, so investing in Ji Si is never excessive."

Ji Che reluctantly accepted Zhao Xing's explanation.

In short, it's his brother's money, and he can spend it however he wants.

When Ji Si learned of this, she was completely stunned. "Five hundred million Red Star Coin, all for me to cultivate?"

"Your Majesty, Grand Minister of Agriculture, what merit or ability do I possess? —"

Ji Si has seen a lot of money in the trading market, but it was all other people's money. The Origin Sea Coin he traded himself never exceeded one billion.

Five hundred million Red Star Coin now is equivalent to 175 Origin Sea Coin.

And this isn't something I'm giving him to operate; it's being used directly for his personal cultivation!

"Think long-term," Zhao Xing said with a smile. "You can easily earn this money back in the future; we might even all depend on you for our lives."

"Let's set a small goal first: ask the preaching scholar to help you break through to the Third Realm."

"Yes, thank you, Grand Minister of Agriculture." Ji Si understood very well that the Great Zhou did not have that much money. The only one who could afford to hire scholars to spread the teachings was Zhao Xing.

"There's no time to lose, I'll find someone for you right away," Zhao Xing said. "Don't be stingy, spend it as you see fit."

"Yes, yes."

The Giant Yang Clone was still inside Chen Xuan's ear, on its way back.

To escape the influence of various nations, both Human Race and Demon Race, and to face the dangers of the mausoleum itself, it would take decades before they could return.

But Zhao Xing had already asked Aries, and the relocation of Great Zhou was no longer a problem.

As for the trouble with the Three Gods Fate Palace, Zhao Xing didn't mention it at all; this wasn't something that could be resolved in a single mission.

Since Zhao Xing had already accepted Du Yun's favor, he wouldn't ask Starfire for anything more, otherwise it would only cause Du Yun's dissatisfaction.

While waiting to return, Zhao Xing didn't idle around; he started frantically Hu Rui Star Land.

Three years later, he had completed his mission on the Eastern Continent.

"Shi Xin came here in 1146 to do a mission. The project was supposed to take fifty years, but I finished it in twenty-six years," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

The preparations for Starfire took seven years, and with the Time Reversal, it took a total of nineteen years. The actual time spent in the ancient tomb was not that long.

Instead, more time was spent on preparation and the return trip.

"Lord Hu, I have completed my mission in the Eastern Continent," Zhao Xing said.

"Zhao Xing, you should take a break. Why are you working so hard?" Hu Rui looked at his subordinate. "Our work in the Agricultural Official is very monotonous. You need to learn to relax and find some fun for yourself. This will also reduce the chances of you Going Berserk in your cultivation."

"You're right, sir," Zhao Xing said respectfully. "I'd like to go back and exchange some materials for the Fire Turtle, and also explore the surrounding area."

"Okay." Hu Rui really liked Zhao Xing as a subordinate. He was diligent, open to advice, and very sensible. Where could you find such a subordinate?

He has a strange hobby: he likes to kill Fire Turtle to cultivate, but that's no big deal.

"I will send a squad of the Wandering Void Army to escort you back."

"If you want to explore the area around South Luo 21 later, you can ask them for help."

Lu Yuehan had already spoken to Hu Rui, so of course he wanted to show his appreciation and let the other party know that he had taken care of him.

"Thank you for your care, sir."

In Shi Xin, Zhao Xing returned to the base and disposed of the Fire Turtle.

He didn't rest for long; in the spring of 1174, he returned to the South Luo 21 Star Continent cluster.

The Agricultural Official at the Cloud Firmament Hall No. 18 also had a rare long holiday, but they still had to wait until the appointed time to settle their wages.

They can stroll around and rest on Hu Rui Star Land. In short, there won't be much going on, so they can relax for the next twenty-odd years.

After Zhao Xing returned, he no longer had Wandering Void Army's guards follow him, but instead wandered around the Star Continent alone.

The guards from the Wandering Void Army weren't eager to come and protect them, since there was no money involved.

In short, the South Luo 21 Star Continent is not of much value, and there are not many restrictions on it.

Thus, Zhao Xing was able to find the Scholar's Imperial Tomb very smoothly according to plan.

Zhao Xing is now at the Minor Mystic Power Realm, able to travel freely through the void.

He was alone, not traveling on the Realm Boat, and concealing his aura, making him a very small target.

"Coordinates: Taiyin 21, Xanthium 3, Celestial Hook 15. Geng Metal 7, Yi Wood 2 ——— This is it."

Zhao Xing landed on a Star Continent with a spiritual energy index fluctuating between 5 and 8, and a smile appeared on his face.

"After searching for eight years and visiting more than a thousand Star Continent, we have finally pinpointed the exact location."

With a whoosh, Zhao Xing transformed into a beam of light and began searching this unremarkable Star Continent.

Having found the exact location of the Star Continent, it still took Zhao Xing three years to find the next step.

"Boom!"

In a frigid pool where spiritual energy had solidified into ice, Zhao Xing soared into the sky before crashing heavily to the ground.

He was frozen into an ice sculpture, but only for a moment, light burst forth from within the ice sculpture, Purple Yang rose, and soon shattered the ice crystals.

Zhao Xing flew back to the side of the cold pool and used his Soul Heaven Vision to see into the depths of the pool.

In a frigid pool about 10,000 kilometers deep, a translucent blue jellyfish is constantly contracting and expanding.

If you look closely, Zhao Xing can see that there are starlight twinkling inside the jellyfish; they are clearly Realm Star!

"Another one of these mobile living tombs. It's going to be quite difficult for me to handle it by myself." Zhao Xing thought to himself that when he came here in his previous life, this tomb had already been fixed, including the entrance and the small world, which had all been dealt with.

"I bought the World Stabilizing Divine Needle and the World Breaking Beast, but I'm afraid I can't stabilize this imperial tomb," Zhao Xing calculated.

He had captured a living tomb before when he was in Lu Yuehan's team, but he couldn't deal with it himself at the time, and it would self-destruct in only Heavenly Timing.

That was merely a tomb for the Minor Mystic Power Realm.

This tomb is now the tomb of the Dao Domain Realm scholar. It's easy for him to enter safely, but difficult for him to come out safely.

"If the boundaries aren't defined, I wouldn't know where I'd drifted to when I came out. And I can't fix these Tomb World on my own."

"Forget it, let's not be stubborn. Let's share some of the profits with Xiao Du." Zhao Xing took out Thousand Mile Yellow Sand Crossing.

There was a drop of his own blood in Yellow Sand Crossing. With a thought, it scattered with a whoosh, enveloping Zhao Xing.

A thousand-mile-long Yellow River appeared beneath my feet, with layers of void mountains rising in a very regular pattern, eventually forming a void river channel.

"Splash~"

The void turbulence was originally formless and intangible, but at this moment it turned yellow.

The great river flowed on, and on the other side appeared a tall and imposing figure, none other than Du Yun, who sat on the throne.

Du Yun rested his head on his left elbow, tilted his head to look at Zhao Xing, and tapped the armrest back and forth with his right fingers, as if he had been resting.

"There's no Dao Domain Realm nearby, so why are you using the Yellow Sand Crossing again?"

He could sense that the Purple God Talisman on Zhao Xing was still there and hadn't been triggered, which proved that he hadn't encountered any danger. "You're just farming, you can't possibly have discovered a treasure, can you?"

"The Lord of the Manor guessed correctly," Zhao Xing said with a smile. "I did make a discovery."

"Oh?" Du Yun straightened up. "What level?"

"Of course it's at the Dao Domain Realm, and based on the clues, I suspect it's a [Inheritance Dao Burial] left by a scholar."

Du Yun's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up from his chair, traversing thousands of miles to appear beside Zhao Xing in an instant.

Many professions only become famous after death, such as Starry Sky Historian or preachers, and their tombs are also quite special.

"Are you sure this is a Inheritance Dao Burial?" Du Yun asked.

"Absolutely 80% likely," Zhao Xing said.

"You're incredibly lucky, kid. You actually managed to find a Inheritance Dao Burial?" Du Yun was somewhat surprised. Zhao Xing was just farming on the Huru Continent, and he could find a Inheritance Dao Burial just by wandering around?

"It's not all luck," Zhao Xing said. "I bought some historical materials to look up before, and you also gave me some information, so I guess I benefited from your good fortune."

This explanation was quite reasonable, and Du Yun almost believed it.

"I had no idea my luck was this incredible. It seems you found some clues out of it."

"A scholar's inherited Daoist canon!" Du Yun exclaimed in amazement. "I've only seen it three times in all my years. Show it to me quickly."

"Yes." Zhao Xing pointed to the cold pool beside them. "It's down there."

Du Yun immediately sent a wisp of spiritual energy into the ground to begin his investigation.

A moment later, he said to Zhao Xing, "It's confirmed now; it is indeed the Daoist Canon."

Du Yun said excitedly:

"The vast majority of scholars who Inheritance Dao Burial do not bury themselves, but only bury the knowledge they have acquired throughout their lives."

"Because their lives often begin their countdown the moment they start fighting."

"Scholars are pioneers who lead humankind, but because of the limitations of the Great Way, the number of times they can preach during their lifetime is actually limited, and it is impossible for them to fully transmit their own Way."

"Therefore, many scholars, after the restrictions are lifted, will do their best to create Inheritance Dao Burial in the remaining years of their lives."

"It is said that the living space tomb was developed by missionary scholars."

"It will move across Human Race territories throughout the universe, appearing and disappearing without any discernible pattern."

"Once the worship is performed, one can enter and explore. Therefore, the Inheritance Dao Burial of scholars is usually called the 'Daoist Canon,' and it is actually the easiest to enter."

Du Yun glanced at Zhao Xing with a smile, "Yellow Sand Crossing really wasn't given to you for nothing. Tell me, how do you want to divide it?"

"The lord of the manor knows my situation," Zhao Xing said. "I also want to go in."

Zhao Xing didn't want to take only 10%, since resolving the trouble would require five trillion.

"Okay, in addition to the 10% of the total profit, you can go in and give it a try too."

Du Yun readily agreed; he could make the decision himself, much more so than Starfire.

"Wait here, I'll be right back." Du Yun then flew back to the exploration base along the Yellow Sand Crossing.

Zhao Xing waited for half a month before Du Yun returned.

When he came again, Du Yun opened his mouth and spat out ten people.

One of the Dao Domain Realm Mechanism Master immediately began setting up Starry Sky Formation on this Nameless Star Land.

Its robes scattered a great deal of starlight, which turned out to be planets and Star Continent, and all of them were carved.

A total of 19,000 were set up on-site, forming a Starry Sky Formation.

"Metaphor~"

Once the Magic Array array was complete, the entire Star Continent was submerged in the Void River, achieving maximum concealment.

The other three Mechanism Master glanced at the cold pool, and about two days later, they quickly replied, "Lord, it will take about two and a half years to establish the boundary."

"Okay, thank you." Du Yun nodded. This was his guest, not a member of the Purple God Mansion, but someone with whom he had a deep-rooted connection of interests.

There are two others who are in Agricultural Official, one is from the Heavenly Timing Flow and the other is from the Earthly Advantage Institute Flow. They are not at the Dao Domain Realm, but they are both Major Divine Ability beings.

After they came out, they began to transform the Star Continent.

"Lord, it is projected that the stability coefficient here will rise to 50 within five years, and exceed 70 within ten years."

"It all depends on how high a spiritual energy index the Lord of the Manor needs."

Du Yun pondered, "A stable level of 80 is fine; there's no need to go too high."

"Yes."

They had clear divisions of labor: some built the city walls, others set the boundaries, and still others improved the Favorable Timing and Location.

Zhao Xing immediately glimpsed a corner of Du Yun's power; if someone wanted to take 90% of the profits, they certainly had the ability to do so.

It's unlikely that anyone else could achieve this level of efficiency in such a short time.

It takes quite a bit of time just to get from the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom's base to South Luo 21.

"Splash!"

A figure leaped out of the icy pool.

He was dressed in a white scholar's robe, looked mature beyond his years, and had a full head of silver hair. Zhao Xing glanced at the secret patterns on his body.

This is a Major Divine Ability in the Third Realm, and also a guest of Du Yun.

"Lord, I have discovered that there are three ways to access this inherited Daoist scripture."

"You can use Itch Soul Ancient Coin, the Po Zhu Ancient Coin, and the Five Emperors Coins for worship."

"Different ancient coins correspond to different realms, and you will encounter different challenges after entering them."

"Among them, the Itch Soul Ancient Coin corresponds to the Source Origin Nascent Realm and the Void Realm."

"The Po Zhu Ancient Coin corresponds to the Third Realm."

"The Dao Domain Realm requires Five Emperors Coins."

Du Yun smiled and said, "It seems this scholar chose the Priest method as his First Stage."

The preaching scholars are almost all experts; they can use whatever professional methods they want to select.

"Zhao Xing, do you have any Bozhu Ancient Coins?" Du Yun asked.

"No." Zhao Xing shook his head. Actually, he was prepared, but now he had to say no. He discovered it by accident. How could he have been so well prepared?

Besides, Du Yun is a tycoon; he'd take any opportunity to get something for nothing.

A single Bozhu Ancient Coins is worth 500 Origin Sea Coin!

"I'll give you three," Du Yun immediately gestured to Du Wen, the scholar beside him.

Then Du Wen waved his hand, and three Bozhu Ancient Coins appeared in front of Zhao Xing.

"Thank you, Lord of the Prefecture, thank you, Mr. Du." Zhao Xing accepted the Bozhu Ancient Coins.

Du Wen is likely a relative of Du Yun, with a closer relationship than that of ordinary guest retainers, but he is not Du Yun's son. This is because Zhao Xing saw from the panel that this person is older than Du Yun.

Du Yun had many things, which Du Wen carried, such as the Bozhu Ancient Coins that were given to him.

After giving himself the Bozhu Ancient Coins, Du Yun specially took out an exquisite ancient box and took out a gold coin.

"Five Emperors Coins." A hint of just the right amount of envy flashed in Zhao Xing's eyes.

The Five Emperors Coins are a relic from ancient times. Legend has it that five Holy Emperors once unified the Xuanling Star Domain Xuanling Star Domain.

The Five Emperors are a collective term for the Emperor Rui, Emperor Yu, Emperor Luo, Ancestor Emperor, and Li Emperor.

Among them, "Xu Zu" refers to the Ancestor Emperor ancestor, Five Emperors Coins" was minted by the Holy Emperor at that time.

Legend has it that it was not used as currency at the time, but rather the Five Emperors used Cross the Sea Under Camouflage to conceal the power of the Ancient God within inconspicuous coins in order to cope with war.

It has some magical effects, such as resisting possession by evil spirits or invasion of illusions.

However, as time went by, its other effects weakened, but one effect remained powerful:

Holding one Five Emperors Coins will automatically increase your luck by two levels; gathering all five will increase it by ten levels!

And the effect remained constant until the Derivation-30!

The Five Emperors Coins are not available for sale in the Origin Sea Hall. Zhao Xing remembers that in his previous life, he only came into contact with the Five Emperors Coins when he reached the Yin Yang Dao Domain Realm. A single "Emperor Rui Coin" would start at a bid of trillions of Red Star Coin.

However, this is only the "Child Coin". If it is the "Mother Coin" that can be upgraded to three levels, the price will be more expensive, and the price of a complete set is even more astronomical.

Zhao Xing had never seen the Mother Coin in his previous life; it was said to have been lost. What Du Yun had was a Emperor Rui's Son Coin, which was also the most numerous type that had been discovered.

"Zhao Xing, I'll go in first."

"You can go in now, or you can wait until I come out."

"Lord, I'll wait a little longer."

Du Yun nodded, then grabbed the Five Emperors Coins and jumped into the icy pool.

Zhao Xing looked closely and saw that at the bottom of the cold pool, Du Yun held the Five Emperors Coins, bowed to the small world that looked like a jellyfish, and was then sucked in.

"In the era when the Yue Luo Ancient Kingdom was located, were Five Emperors Coins common? How could they have such a method of dealing with them?" Zhao Xing couldn't help but think, and he didn't jump in immediately.

Instead, he sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and paid attention to the situation on the other side of the Giant Yang Clone.

"Jing Yan, where are we? How much longer until we get back?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Aries said it will be another seven or eight years before we can go back. We are currently crossing the territory of the Wanhe Demon Kingdom," Jing Yan said.

"The route is prepared, right?" Zhao Xing asked.

"How would I know?" Jing Yan shook his head. "I'm just a useless prince ranked over 20,000th."

Zhao Xing:

You're so bad at this and you still have the nerve to be so self-righteous!

"Once I break through to the Third Realm after I return, my ranking will rise again!" Jing Yan clenched his fist and said, "Once I'm in the top ten thousand, I'll return to the Empire."

"Old Zhao, Old Yu, you two should come back with me. When I ascend the throne, I will appoint you as the chief stewards of the inner court."

"Go to hell." Zhao Xing slapped him. The Chief Steward of the Inner Court—it sounded like a position for a eunuch.

Jing Yan still has the mind to joke, then it proves that things are alright.

Zhao Xing felt a little relieved. The Giant Yang Clone continued to rest, focusing all his energy on the Scholar's Imperial Tomb.

Zhao Xing remained calm and waited until two years and seven months later, when the boundary demarcation work was basically completed, before jumping into the icy pool.

Holding the Bozhu Ancient Coins in his hand, he offered prayers to the jellyfish-like miniature world. Then, he felt a suction force, and in a flash, he was sucked in.

Having just landed and not yet firmly planted his feet, Zhao Xing heard a faint voice. "The moon shines in all directions, the Great Dao also has its boundaries. Those who are not guests of my clan, leave quickly and do not linger~"

Then a powerful thrust was generated, pushing Zhao Xing, who was involuntarily thrown backward.

The next second, he reappeared in the icy pool.

With the three ancient coins still in his hand, Zhao Xing checked his body and found that he had not been injured.

He thought for a moment and then immediately checked the panel.

Then, a message appeared in the map function of the panel.

You have entered the Upper Luo Daoist Academy, coordinates: Taiyin 21, Xanthium 3, Celestial Hook 15. Yang Realm 5, Blazing Fire Academy 43.

Yi Wood 2 3.

"Upper Luo Daoist Academy?" Zhao Xing was taken aback. "I went into this place, but I was immediately expelled?"

What is the reason for this?

Zhao Xing was puzzled. Du Yun had been inside for several years and hadn't come out yet, so it was clear that he and Du Yun hadn't gone to the same place. Different places had different checkpoints.

But how come I was thrown out as soon as I entered this checkpoint?

"Could it be..."

Zhao Xing was somewhat uncertain, so he offered sacrifices again.

The result was the same again; they were expelled as soon as they entered, but without getting hurt.

"I understand." After a moment of thought, Zhao Xing suddenly realized, "I've encountered the Classic Spell of the preaching scholar, ' The Guest Expulsion Order '."
