Fate Decree Situation! Qing Yuzi Played Dead? (Happy New Year)
[Thousand Illusion Tree]
[Status: Weak Phase]
[Realm: Life and Death Dao Domain Realm]
[Age: 895 Epoch]
[Remaining lifespan: 3 eras]
[Innate Major Divine Ability: Thousand Illusion Eye]
[Innate Major Divine Ability: Tree Heart Puppet]
"Only three eras of lifespan left?" Zhao Xing's mind sank as he arrived at the Source Origin Space.
At this moment, the Thousand Illusion Tree fell silent, and its leaves drooped slightly.
At its base, there is a pale blue disc, about the size of a person's palm, that constantly shines.
It is the Water Origin Life Contract!
Countless threads sprouted from around the Faqi, spreading throughout the body of the Thousand Illusion Tree.
"In order to resist the Water Spirit World, the Thousand Illusion Tree has already risked its life, constantly depleting its source, and I have endured it for a full 100 years."
"Only under these conditions can the Water Origin Life Contract succeed."
"Otherwise, it would be really difficult to deal with this old tree spirit."
Zhao Xing thought to himself.
Even during its period of decline, the Thousand Illusion Tree did not drop in level and remained at the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm, demonstrating the tenacity of the vitality of large trees.
If it were soldiers of the Flower or Bamboo type, after a century of brutal treatment in the Water Spirit World and being afflicted by the Water Origin Life Contract, they would probably have lost their cultivation level by now.
"Thousand Illusion Tree, you are now under my control. Let's discuss some terms," Zhao Xing said.
He has now transplanted the Thousand Illusion Tree into the Source Origin Space, but putting it away is extremely difficult.
After all, it is a plant of the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm, and the Thousand Illusion Tree itself is a great burden to it.
The Water Origin Life Contract controls the Thousand Illusion Tree by acting as its agent, meaning that Zhao Xing manipulates the Thousand Illusion Tree's body through the 'Contract'.
However, this control is not complete manipulation, meaning that Zhao Xing cannot use the magic contract to make the Thousand Illusion Tree use its Major Divine Ability.
If you're a player, you'll find that the Water Origin Life Contract can only control the Thousand Illusion Tree to launch normal attacks; skills are completely unusable.
"What do you want to talk about?" The eyes on the trunk of the Thousand Illusion Tree opened, revealing a human figure.
Its eyes held an intense hatred.
Thousand Illusion Tree never expected that it would fall into a fire pit as soon as it was released from its cage.
They are still controlled by such lowly humans.
"Don't look at me like that," Zhao Xing said calmly. "You want to kill me, I want to control you, we're all just trying to survive."
"You should know more about the law of the jungle than I do: the strong prey on the weak, only the fittest survive."
"Now that things have come to this, there's no need to be so angry. It's a useless emotion. You'd be better off thinking about what I'm about to say."
The Thousand Illusion Tree calmed down; impotent rage was indeed pointless.
Zhao Xing said, "You help me, I'll help you."
"I provide you with the sustenance to survive, and you protect me in return."
"I mean when you need to fight, the kind of fighting seriously."
Considering the Thousand Illusion Tree's pride, Zhao Xing did not use words like "enslavement" or "effort," but instead defended it.
"Protect me for 500,000 years, and I will set you free."
"Five hundred thousand years is a short time for you, isn't it?"
"It's been too long." The Thousand Illusion Tree shook its head. "I can only live for less than one era—ten thousand years. I will protect you for ten thousand years."
Still lying... Zhao Xing chuckled to himself.
The Thousand Illusion Tree, at the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm, is well aware of its own lifespan.
He clearly had three more eras to live, yet he claimed he had less than one era left.
"It seems you don't know who I am," Zhao Xing said calmly.
"Who are you?" Thousand Illusion Tree asked with a hint of sarcasm.
"I, Qing Yu Emperor Lord, am a powerful being who has Reincarnation a hundred times!"
Zhao Xing's demeanor changed, and an aura of domineering arrogance emanated from him.
"I once controlled a vast ancient kingdom and dominated the entire Xuanling Star Domain."
"I have sat down and discussed the Dao with countless Reincarnation Realm, and even met Ancient God."
"This is my 101st Reincarnation."
The leaves of the Thousand Illusion Tree trembled as if they had heard some huge joke.
The Reincarnation Realm, Qing Yu Emperor Lord?
He's Reincarnation a hundred times? Are you kidding me!
Those who have undergone more than a hundred Reincarnation are usually unparalleled powerhouses in the Reincarnation Realm, the kind who have the hope of Attain Dao and Become God.
The Thousand Illusion Tree has mingled with preaching scholars; it's not so easy to fool.
"You don't believe me?" Zhao Xing said calmly, "I can tell at a glance that you have lived for 895 epochs, and you have three epochs left to live."
The leaves stopped shaking.
"The Divine Fire Turtle outside has lived for 993 epochs and has 7 more epochs to live."
"Not all Divine Fire Turtle live this long. The one in the Heavy Water River is because it awakened the innate Major Divine Ability ' Thousand Epoch Turtle Origin.'"
"You want to kill him so you can take his tortoise essence and prolong his life. Am I right?"
The Thousand Illusion Tree could no longer laugh.
The eyes on the tree trunk were enlarged, seemingly lost in a daze.
With a single word, he could decide life and death; with a single word, he could see through him and the old tortoise. How could someone at the mere Source Origin Realm do that?
"Qing Yu Emperor Lord —could he really be a Reincarnation Realm expert?" Thousand Illusion Tree began to believe it.
The level of hatred towards Zhao Xing wasn't as high as it had been before.
The strong are respected; being captured by someone at the Source Origin Realm is a humiliation!
Being captured by the Reincarnation Realm is an opportunity!
If what this Qing Yu Emperor Lord said is true, and he is to have the Thousand Illusion Tree protect him, then we should still promote him!
If I really put in the effort, will I be able to advance further in the future?
Even if it doesn't go any further, extending lifespan is still good!
"Think it over carefully," Zhao Xing said calmly. "Opportunities like this don't come around every day."
After saying this, Zhao Xing did not wait for the Thousand Illusion Tree to reply before his mental illusion disappeared into the Source Origin Space.
"Whether he believes it or not, he's helpless now." Zhao Xing opened his eyes.
"If you don't believe it, that's fine. You can still use it as combat power in the Yin Yang Dao Domain Realm."
After deceiving the Thousand Illusion Tree, Zhao Xing deactivated the Divine Turtle Transformation.
"The moon shines in all directions, but even the Great Way has its boundaries."
The Guest Expulsion Order was issued again, Zhao Xing's figure disappeared from the Upper Luo Daoist Academy.
Meanwhile, at the exploration base of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, on the Tianji Star Land, in the magnificent Tianji Residence.
"King Tianji, you were originally an elder of my Dongyan Ancient Clan, the ' Revolving Emperor Lord.' In the 570,000th year of the 3rd Era of the Desolate Territory, one of my clan's strongholds was discovered by the Reincarnation Temple. To protect your clan, you voluntarily Reincarnation."
A Black Robe sat opposite King Tianji, his voice melodious and seemingly possessing some kind of magic.
"You, you are Dongyan Sea?" King Tianji frowned as he looked at the person in front of him, and some 'past events' did indeed come to mind.
"Not bad." Dongyan Sea nodded.
"Why did I only awaken my memories of Reincarnation now?" King Tianji asked.
"Because your Reincarnation Dao Soldier was shattered by the people of the Reincarnation Temple." Dongyan Sea reached out and stroked the table, revealing a broken black spear. "We only managed to retrieve a portion of your Dao Weapon fragments."
When the black broken spear appeared, the surrounding light seemed to distort. The spear tip was like a black hole, swallowing all light, including the gaze of the King Tianji.
"Metaphor~"
King Tianji's expression changed, because he felt a tremor from his very soul, as if this weapon was something he had used before.
He waved instinctively.
"Clang!"
The broken black spear then fell into the hands of King Tianji.
"She is truly my treasure—"
The King Tianji's eyes were unfocused.
"Elder, what do you need me to do?" King Tianji asked.
A slight smile appeared on the Dongyan Sea's lips.
After two eras of preparation, the renowned King Tianji of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom finally became one of their own.
"The Spirit Domain Dharma Assembly will be held in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom. The Yuan Sea Kingdom Lord will host a banquet for the Celestial Star Pavilion Master, Mount Tai King, and other Reincarnation Realm experts from other ancient kingdoms."
The sound of the Dongyan Sea became barely audible.
"Zhao Xing, you're out." Scholar Du Wen looked at Zhao Xing as he emerged from the icy pool area. "This time it took a while."
"Yes, I've run into some trouble," Zhao Xing said.
"You Yitian and Fan Qing are both out. Looks like you've had quite a haul," Du Wen said with a smile.
"It's all thanks to the Lord of the Manor, the teacher, and the exploration team's care," Zhao Xing said.
"Go ahead, the lord is at the usual place."
"Yes."
After Zhao Xing left, Fan Qing You Yitian emerged from the Enlightenment Realm.
"Does the Lord of the Manor value Zhao Xing so much?" You Yitian, somewhat puzzled. "Is the Lord of the Manor meeting with an important guest?"
Zhao Xing enjoys the privilege of freely entering and leaving the lord's cultivation grounds, a privilege usually reserved for guest officials.
"We've gained a lot this time, so it's understandable that the Lord is Guest Qi," Fan Qing said. "It's truly enviable."
It took a hundred years to subdue the Thousand Illusion Tree, and now it is the year 1315 of the Shi Xin.
After Zhao Xing came out, he went directly to Du Yun's reception hall.
At this moment, besides Du Yun, there were two other people in the reception hall.
One of them wore very strange armor, Grade A with dense vines, numbering in the tens of thousands, as if clinging to his body. His eyes gleamed with an eerie green light, and just one glance at Zhao Xing was enough to shake one's spirit.
The other person was entirely silver with indistinct features, resembling a humanoid liquid metal sitting in a chair. Zhao Xing could vaguely see meteors streaking across the liquid, and lightning and flames flashing on the shoulders and head, as if the body contained an entire galaxy.
In comparison, Du Yun seemed normal; at least his expression looked like that of a human being.
"The green-armored man on the left is the Agricultural Official of the Yin Yang Dao Domain Realm, and the person on the right is not identifiable, so he should be a mechanical clone," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
"Greetings, Lord of the Manor." In front of outsiders, Zhao Xing still addressed Du Yun as Lord of the Manor.
"Zhao Xing, you're back just in time."
Du Yun pointed to the silver liquid and introduced, "This is my senior Senior Brother Zhan Ze from the Origin Heavenly Palace."
"Senior Brother is skilled in weapon crafting. My Source Origin Divine Weapon, the Dusk Cloud Armor, was forged by Zhan Ze Senior Brother Zhanze's teacher, and Senior Brother Zhan Ze also participated in the process."
"Du Yun, you flatter me." Zhan Ze waved his hand. "I'm just helping out; I can't create Source Origin Divine Weapon."
"Greetings, Senior Zhan Ze." Zhao Xing bowed.
"Um."
Du Yun then pointed to the man in green armor and introduced him, "This is Huan Feng from the Ancient Hill of Antiquity, a good friend of mine."
"Greetings, Senior Huan Feng."
Huan Feng nodded slightly.
Du Yun clearly had a very good relationship with these two; to be able to summon them to the Daozang site and share this secret, their relationship could not be ordinary.
However, Zhao Xing did not understand why Du Yun wanted him to meet these two people, as if he had been waiting for them.
"Zhao Xing, I've almost finished digging up the Daoist scriptures now," Du Yun secretly transmitted his voice.
"It's about the same as the initial estimate, around 15 trillion Red Star Coin."
"The item is difficult to sell in the short term, and I don't have 1.5 trillion Red Star Coin to give you right now."
"If you have other needs, that would be best; if you need money, then you'll have to wait a while."
1.5 trillion Red Star Coin can buy a low-grade Source Origin Divine Weapon!
Du Yun didn't have that much money, and selling the treasures he dug out of the Daoist scriptures wasn't something he could do immediately unless he lowered the price.
Although Du Yun is capable, he wouldn't hoard that much cash.
Huan Feng of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity and Zhan Ze of the Origin Heavenly Palace were both summoned by Du Yun to settle debts, because these two owed Du Yun a favor.
"While I cannot directly recruit you into the Ancient Hill of Antiquity, I can get Huan Feng to accept you as a disciple. He is the Earthly Advantage Faction Shennong Yin Yang Dao Domain Realm. If you are willing, he can accept you immediately."
"Zhan Ze can customize Dao weapons for you. Whatever type you want, he can basically make it."
Zhao Xing was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.
Even Xiao Du is no good. He can't even come up with 1.5 trillion Red Star Coin, and he still wants to use this method to pay off his debt?
"Lord, I once bought the first level of the ' Extreme Land,' but I haven't finished building it yet. I do want to join the Ancient Hill of Antiquity, but not as a member of any of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity' demonic sects."
This concept is completely different. Of course, Huan Feng is indeed very good. If it were someone else, they might also think that this referral was a great benefit.
"I don't have much need for Dao soldiers for the time being," Zhao Xing transmitted his voice. "However, thank you for your trouble, Lord. I'm willing to wait a little longer."
"Okay," Du Yun, somewhat helplessly.
"Then you should go and rest first, and I will let you know another day."
"Yes."
After Zhao Xing left, Du Yun looked at his two friends and shook his head.
"He doesn't have that need at the moment."
"Hahaha, Brother Du, you're probably going to be looked down upon by this kid." Huan Feng laughed. "He'll probably think, 'You, a dignified prefect, can't even come up with 1.5 trillion Red Star Coin? You're nothing special after all.'"
"To suddenly receive such a windfall and not squander it, he's quite a lucky little fellow." Zhan Ze's face beamed.
"Xiao Du isn't very capable; he can't even come up with this little bit of money."
"How should I mentor him in the future?"
As Zhao Xing left the reception hall, he mentally complained.
"Looks like we can't take Xiao Du out to play anymore, he can't eat."
Ultimately, Du Yun was just a genius at the Grand Mystic Power Realm. Zhao Xing always regarded him as a Yin Yang Dao Domain Realm. However, Du Yun was still young and his foundation was not deep enough.
If another one or two eras pass, and he reaches the Dao Domain Realm, things might get a little better.
"Since Xiao Du is a genius, he is still developing."
"I won't take him with me anymore, so as not to cause him any trouble," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
Now that he has the Thousand Illusion Tree, he has the means to independently open tombs.
"If all else fails, we can't give all the information to Du Yun; problems are bound to arise."
"Regarding the revenue sharing from information reporting, I would prefer to choose different factions, distribute the reports among them, and ideally, ensure that they are not related to each other."
"But you should also choose one with a good reputation."
"If their reputation is bad, denying it is one thing, but they might even kill me to prevent the news from leaking out," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
"I'll pull off one or two more jobs, then it'll be time for me to go."
He couldn't possibly consume all the treasures in Yueluo Cemetery by himself; it would take him a very long time.
Both the Realm Transmission and this Daoist Treasury were explored relatively quickly.
Du Yun dug it all up in less than a hundred years.
Other types of tombs are not so easy to break through; sometimes it can take thousands of years just to breach the defenses. The main concern is that the tombs might self-destruct, leaving all efforts in vain.
"Using the power of the Thousand Illusion Tree, find two Dao Domain Realm tombs that are relatively easy to raid, and do a couple of raids."
"Once we gather 5 trillion, we'll resolve the troubles of the Three Gods Fate Palace, and then my true self will set off for the Red Star Empire."
"They didn't even leave behind the Giant Yang Clone, they just left."
The clone technique isn't foolproof. If you encounter a rare class like Jiu, who can capture your clone and use a curse to kill it, even from a great distance, you could still die.
After obtaining the Thousand Illusion Tree from the Scholar Dao Treasury, Zhao Xing ceased his exploration and quietly returned to Hu Rui Star Land.
"At this time, there was still no major war in the South Luo 21 Star Continent cluster."
"I've been on Hu Rui Star Land for over 150 years and only encountered one invasion." Zhao Xing checked the records of Hu Rui Star Land.
Actually, this wasn't even a war anymore. It was just a group of five Demon Race from the Third Realm who got lost in the void turbulence and accidentally wandered into the Hu Rui Star Land.
Then they were killed by the Wandering Void Army and the South River Army from a distance.
It didn't even alert the people farming on the Star Continent.
"What an unlucky bunch."
Using the void to stealthily navigate and accelerate with the help of turbulent currents, a slight misstep could send you to another location.
The turbulent void inside Yueluo Cemetery is much stronger than in other places.
Among the cultivators exploring the Yueluo Cemetery, the most common cause of death due to accidents is being caught in void turbulence during their voyages, ending up in dangerous situations or the territory of hostile forces.
"To report the information, I need to report five or six more tombs at the Dao Domain Realm, while avoiding trouble and waste. If I were to dig them myself, I might only need to dig one or two."
"At that time, I will just give Du Yun a Source Origin Divine Weapon and ask him to invite people. The trouble of the Three Gods Fate Palace can be temporarily suppressed, and I can go to the Red Star Empire. Otherwise, I will never be able to leave."
Zhao Xing closed his eyes and focused his mind, a star map of the entire Yueluo Cemetery appearing in his mind.
"In my memory, there are a total of 109 tombs that clearly produced Source Origin Divine Weapon."
It may sound like a small amount, but it is, after all, a burial item. Only those at the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm typically use Source Origin Divine Weapon. Unless you are a special profession, no one would take such a precious item to their grave.
Furthermore, this is only what Zhao Xing knows; there is definitely more in reality.
"It's already Shi Xin year 1315, we need to act quickly. You're the one."
The star map in Zhao Xing's mind disappeared, leaving only two stars, one yin and one yang.
"Boom!"
The Thousand Illusion Tree found itself outside the starry sky. The moment it opened its eyes, a fragment of the Yin Star was hurtling towards it.
"Wait, where did I get brought here?!"
Before the Thousand Illusion Tree could react, it was struck by fragments of the Yin Star, its leaves flying everywhere and tens of thousands of branches breaking off.
"Metaphor~"
The Thousand Illusion Tree was forced to activate its Minor Divine Ability —the Thousand Leaf Dao Realm.
The ninety-nine thick branches and the ninety-nine billion leaves on them all emitted light, their mysterious patterns suppressing the void and quickly forming a barrier.
The barrier absorbs the power of the Yin Star fragments while protecting itself.
Behind him was a small Realm Boat, on which a figure looked at him with lingering fear.
Thousand Illusion Tree:
It happened again! I knew it would happen!
Thousand Illusion Tree thought resentfully,
Regardless of whether he agrees to cooperate or not, once a dangerous situation arises, he, controlled by the Water Origin Life Contract, will have to come out and fight.
If he doesn't use his supernatural powers at this moment, the fragments of the Yin Star will damage his body.
"Thanks, Qianhuan."
Zhao Xing waved at the Thousand Illusion Tree.
"Qing Yu Emperor Lord, where are we now?" Thousand Illusion Tree asked.
It is now the year 1331 of the Shi Xin era. In the past fifteen years, Zhao Xing has summoned him three times.
It's always about dealing with sudden crises.
The first time was when I encountered a ' Void Bone Fish ' beast demon at the Five Elements Dao Domain Realm.
This time it wasn't too troublesome. As soon as the Thousand Illusion Tree appeared, the beast demons were scared away from afar.
The second time was when the Realm Boat suddenly encountered a void turbulence that caused it to accelerate rapidly.
The Thousand Illusion Tree immediately suppressed it, and with great effort pulled the Realm Boat out of the Void River.
The third time, I actually encountered fragments of the Yin Star!
The crises we're dealing with are getting bigger and bigger each time!
The Thousand Illusion Tree now completely believes that Zhao Xing is the Qing Yu Emperor Lord.
If it weren't for being Reincarnation Realm cultivator, who the hell would dare to venture into a place like this if they weren't at the Source Origin Realm?
"A good place," Zhao Xing said calmly. "It allows me to obtain a Source Origin Divine Weapon."
"I see."
"Thank you for protecting us. You should rest now." Zhao Xing waved his hand.
"Yes." Thousand Illusion Tree's mindset has changed. She no longer feels that there is anything wrong with Zhao Xing referring to himself as "I". On the contrary, she finds him to be quite approachable.
"Put it away!" Zhao Xing put away the Thousand Illusion Tree and smiled slightly, "The old tree spirit is easy to fool."
When she first appeared, the Thousand Illusion Tree still referred to her as Qing Yuzi.
The second time, he became "Fellow Daoist Qingyu".
The third time, they directly called him "Qing Yu Emperor Lord"!
"My words and actions were consistent. First, I deceived him with words, and then my actions were so contrary to the common sense of the Source Origin Realm that the old tree spirit had no choice but to believe me."
Zhao Xing patted his belly and continued driving the Realm Boat forward.
In Shi Xin year 1382, Zhao Xing flew over one Realm Star after another, and one Star Continent after another, and finally arrived at his destination.
"This is it, Luo Yi World Star." Zhao Xing glanced at the coordinates. "It matches my memory."
There were no planets ahead, only a cloud of spiritual dust, with occasional stray fragments of meteorites shooting out.
Zhao Xing glanced at the detector on the Realm Boat and found that the spiritual energy index was as low as 5, while the chaos coefficient was as high as 200.
"The spiritual energy index is not even comparable to the period when the Profound Yellow World was just recovering, but the chaos index is enough to crush the Source Origin Realm."
"To say it's a bitterly cold place in the Illusory God Star System is an understatement."
"But at least there is spiritual energy in outer space. The outer space of the Chenluo Desolate Territory cannot absorb any spiritual energy at all. --- Mountain Cat"
"Meow." A Mechanical Cat suddenly jumped out of the cockpit of the Realm Boat.
"Charge in," Zhao Xing said.
"Yes!"
"Boom!"
The first half of the Realm Boat, resembling a cat's head, opened its massive maw and began to pull at the void in front of it, rapidly advancing forward.
The Wildcat was the name Zhao Xing used after changing his vehicle; the spirit of the Realm Boat was also named Mountain Cat.
Venturing into the universe is extremely lonely, and since Zhao Xing couldn't easily take the Mountain Cat with him, he customized the Realm Boat and its spirit into the shape of Mountain Cat.
The Meow-Meow plunged into the cosmic dust, much like a Mountain Cat running into a cotton candy.
However, dust is not soft.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang~"
Countless meteorites were frantically crashing into the Realm Boat.
"Boom!"
Gale-force winds and thunder appeared in the misty void, quickly escalating to the level of the Five Elements Dao Domain Realm.
Zhao Xing kept a close watch, ready to summon the Thousand Illusion Tree to fight if anything unexpected happened.
"The Meow-Meow is already a top-tier Taiyin Dao Soldiers; it should be able to handle it," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
With the money, he wouldn't treat himself badly. Smaller Realm Boat were convenient for movement, but top-grade Lunar Yin- level Realm Boat weren't cheap either, costing Zhao Xing a full 8 billion Red Star Coin.
You get what you pay for; the Wildcat is more than capable of withstanding natural disasters like this.
After flying through cosmic dust for 25 years.
"Stop!"
Zhao Xing immediately called a halt.
Because he received coordinate hints in his panel.
You have entered the outer perimeter of the map ' Luo Yi World Star '. (Coordinates)
"Thousand Illusions".
Zhao Xing summoned the Thousand Illusion Tree again.
"Qing Yu Emperor Lord, what are your orders?"
"Help me find a Realm Star nearby," Zhao Xing said.
He still couldn't see where the Luo Yi World Star was, even though he had already entered the outer area.
However, the surrounding cosmic dust still blocked the detection.
"Yes, Your Emperor Lord Realm." Thousand Illusion Tree was helpless. He had to do even this little thing. This Qing Yu Emperor Lord was really treating him like a beast of burden.
While Zhao Xing was exploring the Yueluo Cemetery.
In the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, beneath a mineral-rich planet unnoticed by anyone, a pyramid floats silently.
The pyramid is filled with runes and Magic Array, and is filled with all kinds of offerings.
But there wasn't a single person inside.
Above the altar, instead of a memorial tablet or ancestral tablet, there was an ancient book and a Crystal Pen.
The ancient book with its dark cover seems to have stood for countless years, as if it existed here in ancient times.
A river seems to flow within the Crystal Pen, with stars moving up and down.
"Shhh~"
The Crystal Pen suddenly moved on its own and jumped onto the ancient book to write.
[— As a seasoned expert in the Reincarnation Realm, Qing Yuzi finally succumbed to curiosity and, after three (crossed out), fifty years, went to break the seal on the sacred artifact of the Dongyan Ancient Clan.]
The Crystal Pen writes very slowly; each character disappears immediately into the ancient book after it is written.
He seemed far removed from the sacred relic, yet he acted nonetheless, overcoming all obstacles. Fifty-three years later, he arrived.
The Crystal Pen paused again, as if it had encountered some great resistance.
It was a long time before I started writing again.
[Qing Yuzi's condition is extremely strange, as if he doesn't exist in this world. No wonder he's a seasoned Reincarnation!]
He eventually arrived at a place called "Luo Yi World Star," where he encountered the Eastern Relic!
After the third seal is broken, Qing Yuzi will be bound to the sacred object and will steadfastly search for another sacred object that deeply attracts him.
?
After writing this passage, the Crystal Pen seemed to have exhausted its strength; the rivers and stars inside it stopped moving, as if they were dead.
The pyramids' radiance began to wane, and only after a large amount of offerings were poured into the altar did the Crystal Pen and ancient books regain their brilliance.
But it never wrote again.
"Splash!"
The ancient book, with its single page turned by Qing Yuzi, was closed, revealing four large characters on the cover: "The Fate Game".
Then the ancient book and the Crystal Pen completely disappeared into the void, as if waiting for the next activation.
Purple Moon Star System, Qing Yu World Star.
Deep within the earth, Qing Yuzi's body was encased in a transparent crystal coffin.
Because less than an era has passed since Qing Yuzi's death, and his body has been properly preserved, it still looks as if he were still alive.
The tomb containing Qing Yuzi's body and belongings was quiet.
The Purple Moon Mansion Lord doted on this disciple and even hoped to revive her in the future.
Therefore, he refused Zhao Yuanzi's suggestion to allow outsiders to pay their respects to Qing Yuzi's remains and buried him at the center of Qing Yu World Star.
Qing Yuzi lay peacefully in the coffin with her eyes closed.
But at one moment, one of his hands suddenly supported the coffin.
Qing Yuzi kept his eyes closed. He opened the coffin expressionlessly, and a power within him began to awaken.
The next moment, he disappeared from the spot.
In the year 1430, the Luoyi World Star Shi Xin.
Above a sea of spiritual energy.
"Splash!"
Zhao Xing kept his eyes fixed on the seabed below, eagerly awaiting what was to come.
"Qianhuan, are you done yet?"
A large tree is faintly visible beneath the sea.
Further down, there is a Crystal Palace.
"Qing Yu Emperor Lord, this is the tomb of a Qi Sect Martial Practitioner. His tomb is very hard, and I need a little more time."
"Okay." Zhao Xing shrugged.
Qi Sect Martial Practitioner even use hard materials for their tombs, truly embodying the principle of hardness in every aspect of their lives.
48 years ago, Zhao Xing found this Crystal Palace and discovered that it had no other special features except for its hardness!
There were no Magic Array or mechanisms—it was simply a palace built from an ancient material of great hardness and weight from the Yue Luo Ancient Kingdom, serving as its final resting place.
Zhao Xing couldn't open it or move it.
Even the Wildcat couldn't budge it.
The Wildcat is a top-grade Lunar Realm Ship; it can move an entire world, but it simply cannot move this Crystal Palace.
There was no other way; the dignified Qing Yu Emperor Lord had to once again have the Thousand Illusion Tree do the work.
The Thousand Illusion Tree is an aquatic species, and its tomb is located at the bottom of the sea, so it's more suitable for him to go inside.
Anyway, we're not afraid of destroying any mechanisms Magic Array. To get the treasures inside this tomb, on the contrary, we need to use force to destroy them!
"The Thousand Illusion Tree excels at illusions, but it's not very good at physical destruction."
"The Cloud-Soaring Vine is suitable, but it's too weak. I only just entered the Grand Mystic Power Realm this year," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
Because the Cloud-Soaring Vine is Void Seed, it will go through the stages of the Minor Mystic Power Realm to the Grand Mystic Power Realm.
On the contrary, the Thousand Illusion Tree jumped from the Divine Power Realm to the Five Elements Dao Domain Realm from the Minor Mystic Power Realm. It is said that the Thousand Illusion Tree, which is of royal quality, is higher than the Cloud -Cloud-Soaring Vine. However, the Cloud-Soaring Vine is Void Seed, which is its characteristic.
"Hurry up."
Two years later, Zhao Xing urged him again.
"!"
Suddenly, the seawater exploded, and something resembling a manhole cover shot into the sky, even breaking through the Boundary Wall and disappearing into the cosmic dust.
"Your Emperor Lord Realm, it's broken!" came the voice of the Thousand Illusion Tree. "I have finally opened a hole."
It wasn't easy, it was extremely difficult!
The Thousand Illusion Tree wasn't designed for that; millions of its branches were worn away in order to open it.
"Good job, you did a great job."
Thousand Illusion Tree almost cried. Even so, Zhao Xing's tone was very perfunctory, clearly showing that he thought he was slow.
"Whoosh~"
Zhao Xing immediately jumped down into the hole.
The Crystal Palace is too big, because the body of the tomb's occupant is big enough.
After Zhao Xing went in, his height increased, and he already had a body that was tens of millions of miles tall, but he was still no match for a single toe bone of the other person.
"With such a massive size, it must be at least at the Yin Yang Dao Domain Realm, possessing Golden Body of at least the Sun Seventh Order," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
"This golden skeleton alone is worth the price of a Solar Dao Soldier."
Opening a monk's tomb yields a worthless body.
Open up the tombs of martial artists, and their corpses are money!
"Receive!"
Zhao Xing grabbed the toe bones of the corpse and took them away.
The entire space suddenly felt vast.
Zhao Xing activated his Soul Heaven Vision and scanned the area.
They then charged forward with their spoils.
"Mountain Cat, take inventory."
Zhao Xing threw out everything except the remains.
"Yes."
The Mechanical Cat suddenly flew out.
Its eyes shone brightly as it scanned the area.
"Congratulations, Master! Here you have one low-grade Source Origin Divine Weapon, three top-grade Solar Dao Soldier, and 10,000 Bozhu Ancient Coins." The Mechanical Cat reported, "The low-grade Source Origin Divine Weapon is worth at least 1 trillion Red Star Coin."
"Three top-grade Solar Dao Soldier and 10,000 Bozhu Ancient Coins. The price is clearly stated here."
"A top-grade Solar Dao Soldier can easily fetch a few hundred billion Red Star Coin."
"100,000 Bozhu Ancient Coins would also be worth 140 billion."
"The total value here might be close to 3 trillion Red Star Coin," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
"It's already very close to five trillion."
"Du Yun's share of 1.5, plus this harvest, is not much different."
If all else fails, ask Du Yun for help and try to negotiate a lower price.
Selling some more information about the Grand Mystic Power Realm tombs to Starfire would quickly gather enough information.
"What I earn next is mine."
"On the way back, we can also find a couple of small graves along the way."
Zhao Xing turned around with a smug look on his face.
Then, he was startled.
A figure descended from the sky, heading straight for him. This person wore Stellar Dharma Robe and carried a staff. His equipment consisted only of World Star Dao Soldiers.
However, Zhao Xing was scared half to death.
Because that figure was Qing Yuzi!
"I#!"
Zhao Xing jumped back immediately, startled.
The Qing Yuzi, its momentum undiminished, crashed violently into the sea.
Just as he was about to fall into the sea, he turned around and headed straight for Zhao Xing.
"You, you, you—"
Zhao Xing was stunned.
From any perspective, this is Qing Yuzi. He has kept his body for so long, how could he possibly mistake it?
But how is that possible?
"Could it be that the Purple Moon Mansion Lord has broken through to the Reincarnation Realm and resurrected Qing Yuzi? That's impossible! The Reincarnation Temple and the Ancient Kingdom Alliance have tense relations; where would they find a resurrection slot now?"
"Besides, how did Qing Yuzi even find his way here?!"
"Something's wrong! Something's really wrong!"
Zhao Xing felt a chill run down his spine.
If Qing Yuzi were alive, he could accept it, but the Qing Yuzi before him was indeed just a corpse! And only a corpse of the second realm.
Not only did he come back to life, but he also crossed the endless starry universe and came to the Yueluo Cemetery, where people die at the drop of a hat, and found himself?
"Your Emperor Lord Realm, what's wrong?" Thousand Illusion Tree found it very strange. It was just a corpse of a second-realm cultivator falling from the sky.
Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask.
The Thousand Illusion Tree immediately shut its mouth.
Swish~
Zhao Xing dodged several times, but found that Qing Yuzi's corpse was still heading straight for him.
After observing several times, Zhao Xing stopped.
"Whoosh~"
Qing Yuzi stopped ten meters in front of him.
Qing Yuzi, who had been keeping her eyes closed, suddenly opened them and stared intently at Zhao Xing.
"That's fucking scary—" Zhao Xing muttered.
But Qing Yuzi's eyes were murky and filled with death, and there was no "god" in them at all.
In other words, this is indeed a corpse.
"But why?"
Zhao Xing didn't understand.
He moved, Qing Yuzi moved too.
Such a mysterious matter was beyond Old Master Zhao's comprehension.
Zhao Xing, in a Divine Path, pulled out a stack of Tao Ming Paper Money and burned it. "Lao Qing, is there something you can't bear to die for? Also, how did you get here?"
Qing Yuzi remained unmoved.
Zhao Xing burned paper money purely for self-comfort, because he couldn't see anything wrong with it at all.
The panel detection couldn't detect Qing Yuzi's current state either, since Qing Yuzi was a dead man, and its detection requirement was that the person be a living being.
"Seal up!"
Zhao Xing used the Origin Seal Art, which he hadn't used in a long time, to control the two fundamental elements of Lunar Yin and Solar Yang, forming a closed barrier around Qing Yuzi.
Qing Yuzi did not resist and simply let Zhao Xing seal it up.
"I've seen plenty of paranormal events, but this is the first time I've ever seen anything like it."
Zhao Xing was a man of many experiences, but this was truly the first time he had ever seen anything like it.
Qing Yuzi's resurrection from the dead, and his resurrection over such a long distance, is simply incomprehensible!
"How could someone at the second realm possibly fly over here all by himself?"
What was driving him?
"He keeps staring at me, but what is he looking at?"
Many questions arose in Zhao Xing's mind.
"Splash!"
The raging sea surged continuously, and on the treetop, a person, a corpse, and a Mechanical Cat remained motionless, creating a very eerie scene.
After pondering for three days, Zhao Xing suddenly waved his hand. "Stop!"
The Thousand Illusion Tree and the Qing Yuzi were put away together.
"Mountain Cat, return to base immediately!"
"Yes!" The Mechanical Cat put away the treasure, and Zhao Xing entered the Realm Boat.
"Boom!"
The Cathead Realm Boat immediately shattered the Boundary Wall and soared into the sky.
In the cold and dark void of the universe, Zhao Xing quietly watched Qing Yuzi from inside the Realm Boat.
On the pristine white floor lay a large collection of "antiques": swords, spears, halberds, Bamboo Horse, flying fish, and crystal carvings of Buddhist robes—
These were all inherited from Qing Yuzi during the Profound Yellow World period.
Since learning that the Dongyan Ancient Clan was searching for sacred artifacts, Zhao Xing has not lost a single item, including those in the national treasury.
Now, he has brought it all out.
The reason is quite simple.
"My connection with Lao Qing involves a third party, namely the mysterious Dongyan Ancient Clan."
"Lao Qing's sudden resurrection is definitely related to the Dongyan Ancient Clan, but—I have not sensed that the Dongyan Ancient Clan has broken their oath."
"In other words, this was an arrangement made by the Dongyan Ancient Clan. It does not involve the non-aggression pact I later signed with the Dongyan Ancient Clan Elders."
"Or perhaps the Dongyan Ancient Clan used some method to disobey, or perhaps they themselves don't know—..."
"In short, the sacred object of the Dongyan Ancient Clan is indeed on me. Lao Qing came back from the dead to find it."
After Zhao Xing emptied everything out, he stepped back and activated the protective barrier. "Lao Qing, everything's here!"
Qing Yuzi lowered her head and turned around, but then raised her head again and stared straight at Zhao Xing.
"No?" Zhao Xing was taken aback. "It's all here. I didn't steal anything."
Qing Yuzi naturally couldn't respond.
Zhao Xing pondered deeply, then seemed to realize something, and a purple short sword appeared in his hand.
At that very moment, a glint of light appeared in Qing Yuzi's eyes, and he reached out to grab the short sword.
"Boom!"
He was blocked by the barrier and trapped in place.
"Thunder Law Sword?" Zhao Xing felt a chill run down his spine; this was once again beyond his expectations.
"I salvaged the Thunder Law Sword from Ji Che's royal treasury. After the two seals were broken, it became a top-grade World Star Dao Soldiers."
Could this thing be a sacred object of the Dongyan Ancient Clan?
Zhao Xing suddenly had an urge to discard the Thunder Law Sword.
But now that things had come to this, he knew it was no use throwing it away.
"I'm already caught in the trap." Zhao Xing felt a chill run down his spine. "Since Qing Yuzi, the Purple Moon Mansion Lord, and I will all forget about it."
"So, if Qing Yuzi had obtained this item a century ago, he might have forgotten about it and disposed of it casually."
"It's as if I casually tossed the Kun Yuan Hoe into the Profound Yellow World."
"And it eventually ended up in the treasury of another unified dynasty, the Great Zhou."
It's not impossible; the Great Dream Academy was originally a national treasure of the Great Li, but it also ended up in the Great Zhou Kingdom's treasury.
"The tiny Profound Yellow World, the tiny Great Zhou, actually hides an item that's way beyond the current version. This game is too profound. I never understood it in my previous life—..." Zhao Xing muttered to himself.
"Since that's the case, then this time, let's have a good time and see what's really going on. Even in death, let's die Chu Chu."
"I'll see what you really are."
Zhao Xing grasped the floating Thunder Law Sword with both hands and began to break his third seal.
