Wu Tian and Five Finger Mountain, Is Something Wrong with Ji Si?

After Zhao Xing was captured by Meng Wu and imprisoned at Two Liang Slope, it was as if he had been put into a washing machine, his body spinning wildly. At the same time, he was also falling wildly.

His body seemed to have undergone some kind of deformation, making it impossible for Zhao Xing to concentrate his spiritual power to maintain his balance.

What Emperor Lord Level Reincarnation Realm cultivators could do casually was an immense force that Zhao Xing could hardly resist.

The body, spiritual energy, and every inch of flesh and blood were violently shaking, with 840 million acupoints resonating.

Even his consciousness was becoming somewhat blurred, like a broken egg yolk being frantically stirred!

The world spun and the universe turned upside down; no one knew how much time had passed.

Zhao Xing finally landed.

He went from extreme speed to extreme stillness as if a hand had suddenly grabbed him and made him stand up straight.

But the world before Zhao Xing's eyes was still spinning.

He couldn't even stand up straight.

Ugh...

With his face flushed red, Zhao Xing finally couldn't hold back any longer and began to vomit, his hands resting on his knees.

"Ugh~"

"Boom!"

This vomit, however, produced a large amount of black residue and a faint gray mist.

He vomited until tears and snot streamed down his face, until black blood oozed from his pores.

After a while, Zhao Xing's consciousness gradually cleared. He lay on the ground, placed his hands on his head, and bowed upwards.

"Thank you very much, General Meng."

Although Meng Wu's actions were retaliatory, they also shook away the toxins and hidden injuries that had accumulated from the medicinal bath he had just used for "transformation".

There was no response from above, but Meng Wu, who was outside, heard it.

He snorted, "You're smart enough to know what's good for you."

"However—thank me? Hehe, after you've fully experienced it, do you still want to thank me?—"

Two Liang Slope, Prison World.

After vomiting violently, Zhao Xing finally had the strength to stand up.

He instinctively wanted to Summoning Wind and Rain and rain to cleanse himself, but found that he couldn't use magic at all, so he could only remain in his wolf-fox form for the time being.

"Sigh, what goes around comes around," Zhao Xing said helplessly.

He rallied his men and brought Meng Wu over.

Meng Wu retaliated by calling for reinforcements.

Zhao Xing has never gone through as many circles in his entire life as he has today!

He wiped the dirt off his face with his sleeve, and his vision finally cleared.

Just as I was getting a clear look at the world around me, a person holding a steel fork and wearing a blue-faced, ape-toothed mask appeared before me.

"Friends, I am—."

"Puff".

The steel fork slammed into the back of Zhao Xing's head, Zhao Xing vision to go black and him to collapse to the ground.

After falling to the ground, he vaguely heard the words spoken by the ' Yaksha ':

"Tie him up and take him to the execution ground. Remember, don't talk to him. The warden said this fellow is a smooth talker and a deceitful criminal."

I'm innocent! — Zhao Xing lost consciousness.

Time passed.

When Zhao Xing opened his eyes again, he found himself seemingly immersed in a large vat.

"Pee-pee~ Gulu ~"

The oil was boiling and bubbling, and a person was standing on top of it, holding a steel fork.

Oil pan.

Zhao Xing was immediately taken aback. "What are you doing?"

Yaksha didn't answer, but just nudged Zhao Xing.

"Hiss~"

With this stab, all five senses returned instantly.

Zhao Xing instinctively wanted to jump up, but as soon as he surfaced, a fork came crashing down on him.

"Hey, wait a minute—"

Zhao Xing reached out to grab the fork, but the fork was incredibly hot. He immediately let go and fell back into the oil.

"Hmm..."

Zhao Xing's words were immediately interrupted.

A feeling of suffocation and a burning, stinging sensation came over me.

Zhao Xing was also at a loss.

He struggled to the surface and shouted:

"I've never heard of the Empire treating prisoners like this— Gulu ~"

Third ascent:

"Prisoners should also have human rights—hiss~"

Fourth ascent:

"General, I was wrong—"

When!

After countless beatings, Zhao Xing finally lost the strength to resist and was completely overwhelmed by burning pain and suffocation.

However, his physical injuries would soon be healed, and traces of black blood would seep out, just like when he vomited before.

This time it was just a bit more refined, and Zhao Xing didn't even notice that he had been deep-fried and had a lot of 'impurities' extracted.

"Splash!"

Finally, Zhao Xing was pulled out of the frying pan.

In that instant, he felt as if he had been reborn.

"Sir, shouldn't I be going to the jail?" Zhao Xing asked in a muffled voice.

"A prison cell? It's still a long way off." The blue-faced, Yaksha expressionlessly put a hood on Zhao Xing.

"So where are we going?"

"Beheading."

Before he could even ask, Zhao Xing was kicked.

A tremendous force struck, and everything went blurry.

Zhao Xing found himself kneeling in a place that resembled an execution ground.

The artifact was stuck in a groove below, with only a dead man's head sticking out.

The other part of the body lies on its back.

Zhao Xing turned his head with difficulty and just saw the huge, sharp, dark gold guillotine falling from above.

"Grass!"

Zhao Xing's head suddenly Gulu over and landed at the Yaksha's feet.

Yaksha kicked it, lifted its head, and ordered the person next to it, "Go, put it back together, drink the bewitching soup, and then chop it 150 million times."

"Yes."

"So where are we going?"

"Beheading."

Zhao Xing was stunned. Beheading?

He was beheaded right after he came out of the oil fryer?

In a daze, in a daze.

Zhao Xing felt like he had a very long dream.

It was as if he had been deep-fried in a vat of oil countless times.

He was then dragged out and beheaded; the huge blade fell, separating his body from his head.

He was then hoisted up, his hands and feet stretched straight by Thunderbolt Chains.

Thunderous strikes continued.

Others were nailed to Iron Pillar Mountain and bled to death; others were bound to Copper Pillar and burned to death.

His tongue was ripped out, his body was cut into pieces and then pieced back together; he was forced by the Yaksha to climb mountains of knives and endure the cold in icy mountains; he was trampled to death by countless monsters resembling wild bulls...

"!"

Zhao Xing lay on the ground with his limbs stretched out, and then a mountain fell from the sky, crushing him to death.

"Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb~~"

The chains pulled the giant mountain up, and the Yaksha looked at Zhao Xing, who was crushed into a skin, rolled him up, and casually tossed him to his subordinates.

"How many times?"

"Sir, that's a hundred million times."

"That's about it. Let it soak for a while, then send it to Lord Wu Tian."

"Yes.

Zhao Xing:

This nightmare seemed to have been going on for hundreds of years, as if I had gone through the eighteen levels of hell.

"Ah-yi"

Zhao Xing let out a strange cry and suddenly stood up.

He then touched himself with both hands and found that his body was completely unharmed, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're awake." A gentle voice sounded in my ear.

Upon hearing the sound, Zhao Xing was startled and then looked around at his surroundings.

The room was dimly lit by only one oil lamp.

Under the oil lamp was a bald man wearing a striped robe, which looked a lot like a kasaya.

He was sitting cross-legged on a futon, looking at me with a smile.

"You are—.·"

"Wu Tian".

The bald man introduced himself; he was handsome and gave off a pleasant and welcoming feeling.

"Wu Tian?!"

Zhao Xing's eyes lit up, and his previously dazed state seemed to be cleared up by the name Wu Tian.

Wu Tian is the founder of the "Treasure Mountain Art"!

He had heard Jing Yan mention that Wu Tian had been arrested by the powerful figures of the Red Star Empire and imprisoned in the prison "Two Liang Slope" because of his swindling, deception, and manipulation of people's hearts.

I never expected to actually see him.

"Rumor has it that Wu Tian possesses a Major Divine Ability called ' Five Finger Mountain.' I wonder if there's any chance I'll have to learn it," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

He hadn't done this quest in his previous life; he had only heard about it from other players and shared how to complete it.

However, the current situation is completely different from what he knew. In fact, this is the first time he has met Wu Tian.

At this moment, Wu Tian's expression seemed to change as well, his eyes flashing as he sized up Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing was also sizing up Wu Tian.

Name: Wu Tian

"Huh?" Zhao Xing was a little stunned.

Even at the Emperor Lord Level Reincarnation Realm, he can see the name and realm on the detection panel.

However, he could only see Wu Tian's name and not even his cultivation level.

"Could he be Divine Realm? That's impossible. If he were Divine Realm, I wouldn't be able to see any information about him, not even his name."

While Zhao Xing was in Qing Yuzi's palm, he could see the light and shadow of the five Divine Realm from afar, but he could not obtain any information about them.

When the level difference is too large, the panel detection information becomes ineffective.

"No, Wu Tian isn't in the Divine Realm, but he's not just in the Reincarnation Realm either—what's going on?"

Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised. He noticed that his panel shook, and the detection frame retracted on its own.

After that, there was nothing left to see!

"Hiss—" Zhao Xing gasped inwardly.

"Why are you silent, young friend?" Wu Tian asked with a slight smile.

"Please forgive me, senior." Zhao Xing slowly changed his posture, knelt on the bed, and cupped his hands, saying, "I felt like I had a nightmare just now, and I haven't woken up yet."

"All phenomena arise from consciousness," Wu Tian said. "All things in the world are transformed by consciousness. Dreams are also products of consciousness; they are the delusions of consciousness in an illusory state."

Zhao Xing frowned slightly. Why was Wu Tian talking in such a mysterious way?

"All phenomena are like dreams, illusions, shadows, echoes, and transformations," Wu Tian said. "Young friend, you must have recently experienced a great calamity, and your heart is restless, hence these illusory dreams."

Zhao Xing immediately became respectful.

Because Wu Tian's prediction was indeed accurate; he had just experienced a great calamity.

"The words of the elders are like a sudden awakening, enlightening and inspiring."

Wu Tian chuckled softly, then suddenly changed the subject, saying something that left Zhao Xing completely baffled, "Young friend, your eyes are filled with Evil Dharma Desire."

"Senior, what is Evil Dharma Desire?"

"Greed arising from the undefiled Dharma is the Good Dharma Desire." Wu Tian's voice was melodious, as if it possessed a kind of magic.

"Among the mental factors of desire are Good Dharma Desire and Evil Dharma Desire."

"The desire to become stronger arising from selfishness and greed is Evil Dharma Desire. Such people often practice evil methods and are prone to Going Berserk."

"Cultivating oneself and doing good, the desire to become stronger due to good thoughts, cultivating the righteous path, and accumulating merit—this is the Good Dharma Desire."

"Both are desires that arise during spiritual practice and lie dormant within the mind."

Zhao Xing thought for a moment and then asked, "Why did you say I have Evil Dharma Desire?"

"You have too much bloodlust." Wu Tian's eyes were full of wisdom, as if he could see through people's hearts. "You have a quick-learning supernatural power, which is to be driven by killing. Am I right?"

Zhao Xing was immediately shocked. This Wu Tian was too powerful. With just a few words, he could see through his willpower of the "Killing Thought Blade".

"Yes, I have indeed practiced it," Zhao Xing nodded. "I have also committed some killings, and I feel deeply guilty."

"I wonder if you, senior, could guide me in cultivating ' Good Dharma Desire '?"

He simply went along with Wu Tian's words, saying that doing a mission was nothing to be ashamed of.

Wu Tian smiled without saying a word, simply watching Zhao Xing quietly.

Zhao Xing felt a little uneasy under his gaze.

Wu Tian had absolutely no idea how to complete this task, since the prophetic information was completely useless at this point.

The time and place are both wrong.

However, the silence did not last long before Wu Tian made a move.

He gently shook his palm, and the oil lamp beside him suddenly began to sway.

Zhao Xing noticed no change, but Wu Tian said with certainty, "Young friend, you have come for my Major Divine Ability, ' Five Finger Mountain '."

Zhao Xing was startled; Wu Tian was far too mysterious.

What level of powerhouse is he exactly?

He made me feel as if he could see right through me, even down to my underwear.

He didn't know how to answer for a moment, but Wu Tian spoke up again, "How did you know that I have the Major Divine Ability of ' Five Finger Mountain '? I won't ask. Meeting is fate."

"My path and yours, young friend, are the same yet different."

"You really can't learn the other methods, but this Five Finger Mountain —ah, I'd like to form a Good Karma with you, young friend, and give you this method."

What? You're just giving it to me? What about the test? What about the mission? Zhao Xing was shocked again.

However, he quickly composed himself and respectfully bowed, saying, "Thank you, senior."

Wu Tian smiled and said, "Don't rush to thank me. This is just the first Good Karma."

besides?

Zhao Xing was taken aback.

Wu Tian waved his hand, and the oil lamp flickered, suddenly producing a spark. "I give you a Heart Lamp. As for its use, you will know in the future."

Zhao Xing nodded immediately. What else could he do but nod?

"Whoosh~" The flames suddenly entered the body and went into the heart.

Upon examining his internal organs, Zhao Xing saw a lotus flower emerge from his heart and disappear.

Then his Sea of Consciousness seemed to become brighter.

Zhao Xing felt calm and peaceful.

"Although I do not know what your intentions are, senior, I owe you a debt of gratitude for passing on your teachings." Zhao Xing cupped his hands and said, "In the future, if you have any orders, senior, I will certainly not be afraid of any dangers and come to answer your call."

With the Heart Fire entering his body, a Major Divine Ability power appeared in his mind, which was also the first complete Major Divine Ability power that Zhao Xing obtained.

It contains Wu Tian's narration and profound insights.

The Dharma and the Way have been passed down, and are quite substantial; they won't disappear in just one or two times.

In other words, as long as Zhao Xing isn't mentally disabled, he'll eventually master his studies.

In other words, Wu Tian passed on to him a Major Divine Ability technique that he was bound to master!

Wu Tian smiled with satisfaction, "Excellent."

Seeing Wu Tian's good mood, Zhao Xing couldn't help but ask, "Senior, the general intends to test me. I wonder how you will explain this to me?"

He phrased it more tactfully, describing the difficulties as trials and tribulations.

Zhao Xing was very curious whether Meng Wu had any intention of doing this.

"What you want to know is, what were Meng Wu's original instructions to me?"

"I want to," Zhao Xing nodded.

"He told me to work on your character." Wu Tian's words were tactful, but Zhao Xing understood them.

Although Meng Wu was venting his anger on himself and punishing himself, there were indeed benefits to it.

He felt that he was very different from before after returning to the Minor Mystic Power Realm.

Since there were benefits involved, Zhao Xing didn't want to miss out on even the slightest bit.

Even if the process is a little painful.

Wu Tian seemed to see through Zhao Xing's intentions, so he smiled and said, "You'll be staying here for a while longer, so I'll let you go through the original process."

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded.

He then discovered that the roof had suddenly cracked.

Looking up, a Five Finger Mountain loomed down.

"Boom!"

Zhao Xing was immediately pressed into the depths of the earth by the mountain.

Seeing Zhao Xing being pressed down, Wu Tian immediately stood up, his solemn demeanor instantly crumbling.

She tore open her clothes, exposing her breasts, and lay on the ground without any decorum.

The oil lamp flickered, and a purplish-black figure appeared in the heart of the flame, roaring, "Wu Tian!"

Are you crazy?! You can't even take care of yourself, and you're going to share the power of the Divine Lamp with a stranger?!

"What do you know?" Wu Tian laughed. "This kid will face a great calamity in the future. Without the Heart Fire, it will be difficult for him to survive it."

"You can't even save yourself, yet you think you can save others?"

"Shut up, I am the owner of the Divine Lamp!"

Time passed, and five hundred years later it was over.

Outside, Meng Wu was cultivating while seated on the Sun Star.

Suddenly, a majestic voice entered Meng Wu's mind.

"Meng Wu".

Upon hearing the voice, Meng Wu immediately opened his eyes, stood up, and bowed to the source of the voice, saying, "Teacher."

Where is Zhao Xing?

"Still honing your skills at Two Liang Slope," Meng Wu said respectfully.

"Can his aftereffects be repaired?" the authoritative voice said. "Qing Yuzi has initially digested the divine power; it's time to give him an explanation."

"Yes," Meng Wu replied, still somewhat unsatisfied.

"What, are you still angry?"

"Teacher, how could that be?" Meng Wu shook his head.

His anger had long since subsided, because the empire had received enough benefits from Qing Yuzi.

I've gotten used to hearing Zhao Xing's wailing every day, and for a while now I'm a little reluctant to let him go.

"Reunite him with his family," the authoritative voice said.

"Yes."

Red Star Empire, Beihe Star System, Fengdu World Star.

"Whoosh~"

Meng Wu waved his hand, and Zhao Xing's figure appeared in the void.

"Greetings, General Meng." Zhao Xing cupped his hands in greeting.

"Zhao Xing, our karma is now settled." Meng Wu stared at Zhao Xing. "This is the location of your home dynasty."

"Thank you, General Meng."

"Remember, no one knows about that disaster except you, and you must not reveal it, or you'll be asking for trouble," Meng Wu instructed.

"I understand," Zhao Xing nodded.

Meng Wu vanished in a flash.

"After five hundred years, we have finally emerged from Two Liang Slope."

Zhao Xing let out a long sigh of relief.

Two Liang Slope is indeed a unique place. Being confined there and constantly subjected to oppression, while a form of training, is certainly not a pleasant experience.

"Now I'm finally out." Zhao Xing greedily inhaled the surrounding air. "Hopefully I'll never have to go back in. Old Master Zhao has absolutely no interest in visiting prison. Only someone like Le Yao would treat prison like a job fair."

"Wu Tian, the mysterious Wu Tian, I wonder what his background is -- although my cultivation has not improved in the past five hundred years, I can be said to have undergone a complete transformation." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Looking back on his experiences over the past five hundred years, Zhao Xing felt as if he had lived through another lifetime.

He can now be considered a true gem; with just a little polishing, he can shine brightly.

"I entered the same version of the universe around this time in my previous life, so my Qidian is much higher than in my previous life."

Collecting his thoughts, Zhao Xing turned to look at the Realm Star in front of him.

"The Great Zhou Dynasty actually possesses a high-level Realm Star?"

"I wonder how everyone is doing."

The Great Zhou Dynasty migrated there a long time ago; if I calculate it, they've been there for almost a thousand years.

"Whoosh~"

With a thought, Zhao Xing immediately flew towards the Great Zhou's Realm Star port.

"You say your name is Zhao Xing, and that you are the Grand Minister of Agriculture of the Great Zhou? And you even summoned His Majesty to see you?" In the reception hall at the port, a Nascent Realm official sized up Zhao Xing and said seriously, "Your Excellency, please do not joke like this!"

The official, barely suppressing his anger, said, "If you wish to do business, go to the side hall on the left. If you are here for tourism, please use the passage on the right."

Zhao Xing said sincerely, "I really am Zhao Xing. If you don't believe me, you can find someone who knows Zhao Xing."

He didn't say anything more, because history had already been altered, and apart from a handful of people, no one remembered the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom.

Even the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom no longer exists.

So, where should the people of the Great Zhou's memories be placed, and what kind of "correction" did they make?

Zhao Xing dared not say more to the official.

"Alright, please wait a moment, Your Excellency." The official left the reception hall with a gloomy expression.

Upon reaching the rear side hall, he turned and reported to a Mechanism Puppet puppet, "Please inform General Long of the Star Patrol Guard that a Third Realm expert intends to cause trouble here."

"Received." The Mechanical Puppet's eyes flashed red. "The Star Patrol Guard will arrive shortly."

Zhao Xing, meanwhile, slowly surveyed his surroundings in the front hall.

"The Jia Chen-level Magic Array, the Starry Sky Ring Continent — the Great Zhou now possesses these things as well."

"Judging from the checkpoint facilities alone, their financial resources should be comparable to those of the Great Ye Dynasty in its heyday."

"I wonder how many experts there are, hmm? Star Patrol Guard?"

Zhao Xing was admiring the scene, he saw a team of Star Patrol Guard stride into the hall with an imposing air.

The leading general carried a greatsword, and his aura clearly indicated that he had reached the Third Realm.

"Sword Sect at the Minor Mystic Power Realm — Long Xiao?"

The newcomer was none other than Long Xiao, and beside him stood a burly lieutenant, also at the Third Realm.

It was Yin Xiu!

"Who, who's causing trouble?" Long Xiao asked in an unfriendly tone after contacting the official who had called the police.

Then, following the official's directions, he saw Zhao Xing.

Long Xiao's gaze immediately went blank.

Holy crap!

The next moment, Long Xiao rushed straight over. "You, you, you—"

"Long Xiao, why are you stuttering? Don't you remember me?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Zhao Xing, you're finally back!" Long Xiao hugged Zhao Xing tightly.

"Alright, this is unbecoming in public," Zhao Xing said, pushing him away with disdain.

"Haha, you're not dead." Long Xiao patted Zhao Xing on the shoulder.

"The way you're saying it makes it sound like I should be dead?"

"I haven't heard from you for many years," Long Xiao recalled. "It's been about a thousand years since I last heard from you."

"Let's find somewhere to catch up; this isn't the place to talk," Zhao Xing said.

"Alright." Long Xiao immediately turned to Yin Xiu beside him and said, "General Yin, I'm temporarily entrusting the official duties to you."

"No problem." Yin Xiu nodded excitedly, then patted his chest and bowed to Zhao Xing, saying in the Eastern Dragon Language, "Welcome back, Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor."

"Yin Xiu, there's no need for such formalities," Zhao Xing said with a smile. Even after all these years, Yin Xiu still treated him with the etiquette expected of Dragon Race.

"Let's go, let's go." Long Xiao pulled Zhao Xing, "Let's go back to the boundary star. Old Chen and Xia Jing will be very happy to know that you are not dead. It just so happens that they are still in Fengdu."

After passing through the Starry Sky Fortress and entering the interior of the Realm Star through the passage, Zhao Xing soon met Long Xiao, Chen Shijie, and Xia Jing on the Realm Boat.

When old friends meet, a hearty drink is naturally an essential part of the experience.

"Brother Zhao, you're finally back! Why didn't you send a message for over a thousand years?" Xia Jing scolded. "Old Chen and I almost thought you were trapped in Yueluo Cemetery."

Zhao Xing raised his glass and said, "I was indeed trapped in one place for a long time—but let's not talk about me now."

"Does anyone here have a history book of the Great Zhou? Let me take a look."

"Don't look at me," Long Xiao shook his head. "Why would I bring this thing?"

"I don't have any either," Xia Jing shook her head.

"I have one." Chen Shijie took out a copy of "The Great Zhou New Chronicle" from his spatial ring.

Without saying a word, Zhao Xing picked it up and examined it.

"—In the eightieth year of Yuan Ding Era, the Great Zhou broke through the sky and ascended to heaven."

"In the 895th year of Yuan Ding Era, the Great Zhou arrived at the Illusory God Star System, just as the Yueluo Cemetery was being opened."

" In the Shi Xin era, Grand Minister of Agriculture Zhao Xing broke through to the Source Origin Realm and became acquainted with Jing Yan of the Red Star Empire— "

The Great Zhou New Chronicle mainly records some major events in the Great Zhou after the ascension, and most of them are about Zhao Xing and Yun Tian Dao.

Zhao Xing easily got the answer he wanted.

History took a turn here at the Desolate Territory. True Self only sailed in the Desolate Territory for nearly five hundred years.

But now it's almost nine hundred years.

"In other words, no one remembers that period of history of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, which was about four hundred years ago."

"When the Great Zhou left the Chenluo Desolate Territory, it just so happened that the Illusory God Star System appeared."

"And the rise of the Great Zhou Dynasty is because I unearthed many treasures here," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"It seems their memories have also undergone a large-scale correction."

Zhao Xing then borrowed Old Chen's Star Mirror and browsed through the Great Zhou's library.

"The secret manual ' Twelve Divine Sacrifices Method ' that I bought for Priest Wei Hong back then has turned into ' Seven Divine Sacrifices '?"

"The ' Wheel of Heavenly Mandate ' that I bought for Ji Si has also been kept, and it has the same name as before."

Zhao Xing pondered, he began searching the Red Star Empire's database again.

"The Twelve Divine Sacrifices Method has not only been reduced to the Seven Divine Sacrifices Method, but it is also now only available to those who cultivate to the Five Elements Dao Domain Realm."

"The Wheel of Heavenly Mandate has only six layers; there are no more cultivation techniques above the Reincarnation Realm."

"The three paths: history, destiny, and sacrifice."

"The Priest has found 90% fewer cultivation techniques available for purchase compared to what he found in the Origin Sea Imperial Family in his previous life."

"The number of historians has decreased by 70%, and the Fate Officials by 50%."

Zhao Xing couldn't help but shake his head.

This is outrageous! The sudden loss of so many cultivation techniques and secret methods is like turning the three main roads into narrow, winding paths.

Keep in mind, this is in the Red Star Empire!

The empire's treasury holds far more treasures than those of ancient kingdoms.

If even empires are so lacking, one can imagine the power of ancient kingdoms, not to mention dynasties and independent cultivators.

"The requirements have also become more stringent. These three secret techniques, even at the Dao Domain Realm level, all require joining a faction."

Private cultivation is strictly prohibited; any cultivation under the guise of it is illegal!

"The current situation is almost the same as what happened in my previous life," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Now, it has become extremely difficult to travel these three paths again.

Unless one is under the control of a super powerful demon, there is no possibility of obtaining a path to the Reincarnation Realm.

"What's wrong with you? You're shaking your head and sighing." Xia Jing asked curiously.

"It's nothing." Zhao Xing's brows relaxed. "It's a good thing."

"Is this really a good thing?"

"Mm." Zhao Xing nodded. From now on, he could finally return to the familiar version of himself!

The abolition of the three departments of history, destiny, and sacrifice has nothing to do with my Agricultural Official.

As long as my path hasn't been cut off, that's fine.

There's always food available everywhere, and apart from the True Self Faction, no one on the Agriculture Dao could possibly break any taboos.

"Are Yun Tian Dao and Ji Si on Fengdu World Star?" Zhao Xing asked.

During our conversation, he discovered that many people were not on Fengdu World Star, or even in the Beihe Star System.

Emperor Ji Che has gone on a long trip, leaving only his entourage at home, but he doesn't show up much, as if his energy is tied up.

Ji Che went on a long trip, taking Ye Yukong, Luo King, Wei Hong, and the Mechanism Master Lu Ying with him.

"His Majesty led a delegation abroad for an inspection tour," Chen Shijie said.

"An inspection?" Zhao Xing asked, somewhat puzzled. "Inspect what?"

"Let's see where it's easy to start and conquer the other smaller dynasties," Chen Shijie said.

"Is it heading towards the western part of the empire?" Zhao Xing asked.

"How do you know?" Long Xiao nodded. "The first stop was indeed the ' Jiachen Fourteenth Pass' in the western part of the empire. Of course Zhao Xing knows!"

The Red Star Empire is expanding into uncharted territories. Long ago, the empire established numerous bases in the west.

The "Moon Warden" Desolate Territory Belt surrounding the northwest of the Xuanling Star Domain is about to be breached by the Empire, and the Agricultural Official of the Primordial Beginning Realm have cultivated a stable channel for life!

The Empire will discover a new cosmic territory with a high spiritual energy index and is extremely rich in resources, including many non-renewable resources!

The players' panel displays a version name. "Star River Myriad Realms," which refers to that new territory.

Zhao Xing remembered it clearly; it was almost a tenth the size of the Xuanling Star Domain!

Following the latest version trends is in players' nature. Players who smell the trend quickly head towards the Red Star Empire Red Star Empire, even if it means dying to be resurrected there and try to get a piece of the latest version's big prize.

"He's here again." Xia Jing pointed at Zhao Xing, then winked at Chen Shijie. "Old Chen, I bet you, he's definitely found some opportunity to make a fortune!"

Zhao Xing raised his head.

"Zhao Xing, don't speak yet," Xia Jing said, raising his hand.

"Xia Jing, what do you want to bet on?" Chen Shijie didn't answer, but Long Xiao chimed in.

"I lost, I eat fish for thirty years!" Xia Jing said. "You lost, you guard the gate for me for thirty years."

Do you dare?

"Isn't that a bit too harsh?" Zhao Xing deliberately advised, "We're all brothers, I think twenty years is enough..."

"Let's bet." Provoked like this, Long Xiao slammed his hand on the table. "Zhao Xing, you tell me. Did Xia Jing guess right?"

Zhao Xing covered his face and said, "Brother Long, why don't you go and guard the gate for the Heir Apparent?"

"What?!" Long Xiao's eyes widened instantly. "He actually guessed right?"

"Mm." Zhao Xing nodded.

"Hehehehehehe~" Xia Jing laughed wildly, "Long Xiao, you're my guard now. Get up. Pour me a drink! Fill it up!"

"Depend on!"

He Long Xiao, Chen Shijie, Xia Jing landed in Abundance City.

Soon a group of people came out to greet them.

With Ji Che absent, Zhao Xing did not see many acquaintances.

However, Liu Tianning and Ji Si were both present.

My whole family came too.

Seeing this, Zhao Xing immediately dispatched his clones, one to board his family's boat and the other to board the imperial court's boat, without delaying either side.

Zhao Xing left behind a considerable amount of money, and his family naturally treated him well.

The current members of the Zhao Family and their cultivation levels are as follows:

Zhao Ruide and Madam Cai, the Source Origin First Realm.

The second brother, Zhao Zheng, Source Origin Second Realm and is a martial artist.

Second sister Zhao Yuhuan, Source Origin First Realm, magician.

The third sister, Zhao Yuling, Weaving Girl from the Source Origin First Realm.

The third brother, Zhao Chuanzong, Source Origin First Realm and is a martial artist.

The number of nephews and nieces has grown to 14,560.

When Zhao Xing looked at the family list, he was utterly astonished.

"Brother, are you kidding me? Of these 14,560 nephews and nieces, 12,000 are your children?"

Zhao Chuanzong said somewhat embarrassedly, "Brother, I follow the path of Dual Cultivation Dao— "

Zhao Xing was speechless.

So you've used up all your potential on this?

Sharp!

"Third brother, you really didn't choose the wrong name," Zhao Xing couldn't help but joke.

"Many children bring many blessings," Madam Cai said with a smile.

"Yes, Xing'er, you're not here, so we're counting on them to have children," Zhao Ruide said.

"You're right," Zhao Xing said.

Zhao Chuanzong was once very hardworking, but in the cosmic version, he became obsessed with the Dual Cultivation Dao and wanted to slack off again.

However, there's nothing wrong with that; it's ultimately a personal choice.

Zhao Zheng, on the other hand, was quite good. Zhao Xing discovered that Zhao Zheng was only at the second realm, yet he had mastered three Minor Divine Ability.

"Zheng'er, you've made great strides!" Zhao Xing praised.

"Brother, you flatter me," Zhao Zheng said. "It's all thanks to the money you left behind."

"Alright, everyone, stop standing there and let's eat first."

On the other side, Zhao Xing was also sitting at a table with Liu Tianning and Ji Si.

"With His Majesty currently absent, all matters, large and small, are handled through joint discussions among the Six Ministries," Liu Tianning said. "Since arriving in the Red Star Empire, our development has been rapid, and His Majesty has now reached the Source Origin First Realm."

"However, this still consumes some of our luck, so we must expand our territory, increase our population, and improve our military strength."

Ji Che and the Great Zhou still follow the path of Dynasty of Fate. His strength depends on the strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Fate Flow— " Zhao Xing's heart stirred. "I wonder if Ji Che can make it work."

In his previous life, he had not seen many dynasties that Fate Flow, because the general understanding at the time was that such a development could not continue.

However, Zhao Xing now has more insights, especially after witnessing Qing Yuzi steal the divine power of the Dongyan Ancient Clan to become a god, which makes him dare not underestimate those things that he used to think were 'minor paths'.

"Maybe Ji Che can actually succeed and become a god through luck? In my previous life, when I tried to break through to the Divine Realm, I never thought of such a path," Zhao Xing pondered.

"That's about it for things back home," Liu Tianning said. "Jing Yan helped us a lot. After Aries sent us back to China, he got us into the Beihe Star System, right next to the Beiye Star System."

"Many trade and business opportunities were practically given away by Jing Yan for free."

"As for Yun Tian Dao, he has already reached the Dao Domain Realm. He stopped living with us five hundred years ago and joined the army—it seems he's in the South Yuan Demon Suppression Pass area."

"Zhao Xing, now that you're back, you should go and thank them," Liu Tianning instructed. "Yun Tian Dao and Jing Yan have both taken great care of us."

"The teacher is right," Zhao Xing nodded. "I definitely will."

Liu Tianning said, "Alright, I won't say any more. I'll leave for a while."

"Zhao Xing, Ji Si is acting strangely." Liu Tianning transmitted this message to Zhao Xing privately.

"I can tell that Ji Si seems to have something to say to you alone. He's become increasingly withdrawn over the years."

What does that mean? Zhao Xing was taken aback.

After Liu Tianning left, only Ji Si remained in the small living room.

Ji Si suddenly looked nervous and said, "Grand Minister of Agriculture, I... I think I've run into a problem."

Zhao Xing frowned. "What do you mean? Something's not right?"

Ji Si clutched her head, looking pained, and said, "Something feels wrong everywhere."

"I don't know if it's me or the whole world that's wrong—"

Ji Si hesitated, then took out a history book, which was the "Great Zhou New Chronicle": "Grand Minister of Agriculture, much of the history in this book is incorrect."

"Don't you remember that we left the Desolate Territory in just five hundred years? We even crossed the stars—"

Zhao Xing's pupils dilated, and he immediately interrupted, "Ji Si, shut up!"

Ji Si was startled and almost fell to the ground.

He stared at Zhao Xing, and Zhao Xing stared back at him.

The two seemed to read a lot in each other's eyes.

Zhao Xing's expression was serious as he slowly said, "Ji Si, speak slowly. If you encounter something that causes you pain, you can skip it and not talk about it, or you can use a certain word to refer to it."

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Ji Si's eyes lit up.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, once upon a time, there was a dynasty called Xia. After five hundred years, it ascended to the universe."

"But the universe is dark and cold, and the first hurdle the newly established Xia Dynasty must face is the Rice Grain Barrier set up by a certain kingdom."

Zhao Xing's pupils dilated violently. What did "Zhao Xing Star Sleet Pass" mean? It must refer to spiritual energy as scarce as a grain of rice.

Ji Si, you actually still remember?

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, can you understand what I'm saying?"

Zhao Xing nodded silently. "You don't need to say anything more."

"I knew it, I wasn't crazy, I knew you would remember, Grand Minister of Agriculture— " Ji Si took a big gulp of wine.

He, Ji Si, had been mad for five hundred years. A secret suppressed in his heart for five hundred years—he had even thought he was insane—was finally understood by someone today.

Ji Si wasn't crazy, but Zhao Xing was somewhat insane.

From the conversation just now, Ji Si clearly remembers the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, and even everything else!

But why would he remember?

Why was Ji Si able to retain her memories and alter history when the Divine Realm of the Reincarnation Temple used the Mysterious Spirit History to erase them?

"Ji Si, you shouldn't know this story about the Xia Dynasty," Zhao Xing said, taking a deep breath. "Now, tell me about some things you find unusual, using the method I just described."
