Primordial Beginning Assembly, Assessments and Preparations
"Alright." Ji Si seemed to have been prepared, and with a flick of her hand, a card box made of mechanical contraptions appeared.
The card has Liu Tianning's image printed on it.
Zhao Xing: ".—".
He had previously created a set of Qing Yu Card, and Qing Yuzi really did become a big shot.
And they accomplished something truly earth-shattering.
Now Ji Si has come up with another Tianning Card?
"Don't scare me—" Zhao Xing said with a wry smile.
Ji Si paused for a moment, then realized something. "No, I also practice Fate Master and Starry Sky Historian. I use these skills to maintain self-awareness and refer to certain unspeakable things, reminding myself in this way."
"What's the name of this card?"
"Shangluo Card".
"Okay, you deal the cards." Zhao Xing nodded.
It just doesn't have to be Tianning Card.
Ji Si waved her hand and first dealt a card to Zhao Xing from the card box.
The front of the card features Liu Tianning, while the back has three patterns.
The scene is fluid; Liu Tianning sits on the throne, with dancers and singers gracefully dancing below.
Then Ji Si sent herself another picture, which showed Ji Yun (Ji Si's niece) holding a whip.
Zhao Xing immediately understood that Ji Si was confirming the time and place.
I'm also trying to confirm whether I still remember.
These two cards are identity cards; one hints at oneself, and the other hints at Ji Si.
Clearly, Ji Si was going to start by talking about her own "laziness".
"Grand Minister of Agriculture, do you have any questions?"
"No."
"Then I'll continue sending them."
Zhao Xing continued to nod.
Next, he received five cards each.
The first image is of a yellowish-gray planet, surrounded by debris and the figure of Ji Si.
The second card depicts a hand holding a whip, striking Liu Tianning.
The third card depicts a fairy mountain at sea.
The fourth card depicts Ji Si's back as she writes a letter with her head down.
The fifth image shows a battle scene with more than a dozen blurry figures surrounding and attacking one person.
Zhao Xing quickly understood that what was being recounted here was his and Ji Si's experience in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom.
However, this is Ji Si's perspective.
"Grand Minister of Agriculture, do you have any questions?"
"No." Zhao Xing shook his head.
Ji Si's face lit up with joy, which proved that Zhao Xing remembered everything, or at least that it matched what she remembered.
Next, Ji Si dealt cards to herself, Zhao Xing found somewhat confusing.
The first card Ji Si dealt to herself was a blank card.
The second one depicts a river.
The third image is of a faceless golden figure, with one hand behind his back, hooked over his shoulder as if carrying something on his shoulder, standing under the boundless starry sky.
The fourth image still features the same faceless golden figure, but now two other Golden Body figures have appeared beside it.
There was also an additional square stele, though it was drawn very small.
Zhao Xing looked somewhat bewildered, because he had no idea what Ji Si was trying to say.
Aside from the river hinting at the Time Page, what's with the other four pages? How did Ji Si see so many things from her perspective?
The fifth one finally showed some promise.
Beneath the vast cosmic sky, six golden figures appeared, along with a tiny black dot within the Golden Light.
Zhao Xing recognized the sixth picture at a glance, because it depicted the Southern Barbarian Holy Mountain. The mountain shadows were layered in the clouds and mist, resembling the scene when the Great Zhou attacked the Witch Moon God on the mountain.
The seventh card is another one depicting a river.
The eighth card is a blank card.
Zhao Xing: "..—."
Ji Si's abstract way of expressing herself completely baffled Old Master Zhao.
And how did this all get into the Profound Yellow World?
"Grand Minister of Agriculture, do you have any questions?"
"Have!"
Zhao Xing immediately asked a crucial question.
Do you still remember Wang Tianzhi?
Ji Si was taken aback. "Wang Tianzhi?"
He didn't know why Zhao Xing suddenly brought up Wang Tianzhi.
But Ji Si still replied, "Of course I remember. Wang Tianzhi from the Mystic Heaven Academy was the one who switched Yun Tian Dao and entered the Epoch House."
"It's a pity that his hometown has been destroyed, otherwise he would have had a chance to break through to the Source Origin Realm and live a good life."
Zhao Xing took a deep breath. "Alright, Ji Si. You can put it away now."
"Grand Minister of Agriculture, we—"
"Next, you can cultivate your Biography Clone. I will find an indigenous world to serve as your Realm Transmission, and then—you will seal your memories and Biography Clone within that Realm Transmission."
"Yes." Ji Si nodded.
Zhao Xing offered a solution, and although it's unclear why, at least someone has come up with an idea now.
I want to be alone for a while.
"I'll take my leave now." Ji Si stood up.
Zhao Xing was the only one left in the private room.
A moment later, Zhao Xing drank a glass of wine.
"The Profound Yellow World— " Zhao Xing murmured to himself.
Ji Si was unaware that the Profound Yellow World still existed.
He only told Yun Tian Dao and Ji Che about the Hidden Breaking Illusion.
The fact that Wang Tianzhi was brought back three thousand years ago was known only to Ji Che and himself.
Zhao Xing learned about Ji Si's past during his conversation with Qing Yuzi.
After delivering the letter to Yuan Ding Emperor, he fainted and was then placed in a treasure to recuperate. Eventually, Qing Yuzi took it and gave it to Meng Wu.
In other words, Ji Si couldn't possibly have known what happened next, so he must have seen it in a dream?
What kind of dream could include scenes of the Divine Realm discussions?
How could one suddenly dream of the Profound Yellow World?
Recalling Qing Yuzi's warning, Zhao Xing couldn't help but sigh.
The Profound Yellow World probably Divine Realm, and may even have been involved in the resurrection of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom.
"Wang Tianzhi was originally scheduled to go to receive him three thousand years ago, and now it's almost that time."
"How could I dare go now? There are probably still people investigating in the Chenluo Desolate Territory. My past, with its preserved memories, would be too conspicuous."
"Sigh, I guess I'll just have to trouble Old Wang... --.. Seal!"
Zhao Xing omitted the content about the Profound Yellow World and the Divine Realm.
Thinking about all this now is completely useless.
He's too weak; now, there must be Divine Realm experts setting their sights on the Chenluo Desolate Territory.
It's dangerous to even pick up Wang Tianzhi now, let alone explore any secrets.
After fading these memories, Zhao Xing walked out of the private room, his face now beaming with joy.
"Come on, everyone, let's drink!"
"We're not leaving until we're drunk!"
"Drink."
The legend has returned, and the capital of Fengdu World Star held a long celebration banquet.
For several years, Zhao Xing did nothing but eat and drink with people he knew within his network.
My own memories haven't changed, but other people's memories have been altered, and now I have to adapt to how these people perceive me.
"Zhao Xing, I'm sorry, I only came this year. Don't say anything more, I'll punish myself with three vats of ' Spirit Cloud Brew '." As soon as Jing Yan sat down, he deliberately went to move the large wine vat placed in the middle of the artificial hill.
"You wish! This ' Spirit Cloud Brew ' costs a million Red Star Coin a vat. You drank it all by yourself. What are the captain and I supposed to drink?" Chen Xuan pulled Jing Yan away. "If you're going to punish someone, punish them by making them watch you drink it."
In terms of strength, Jing Yan was no match for Chen Xuan, a martial artist from the Great Divine Qi Sect. With a gentle pull, Chen Xuan pressed Jing Yan into his seat.
"Haha, Captain, Brother Chen, Jing Yan, Tian Qing, please have a seat." Zhao Xing laughed and invited the four of them to sit down.
Chen Xuan was standing next to Aries (Yang Baihe), both of whom were members of Starfire.
Zhao Xing had originally invited Yue Nv, but Yue Nv was unavailable, so only Aries and Chen Xuan came.
With the destruction of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, Zhao Xing estimated that Starfire had also suffered heavy losses. However, Zhao Xing discovered that Chen Xuan, Aries, and Yue Nv Nu were still alive.
Jing Yan and Yu Tianqing had arrived in the Red Star Empire long ago, so naturally they had to meet.
So he invited everyone over.
The memories of Zhao Xing held by Starfire and the other person remained almost unchanged.
In their minds, Zhao Xing had become a rogue cultivator, and the Starfire Organization had been in the Illusory God Star System for seven thousand years, not in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom.
Therefore, the part about Zhao Xing faking the death of the He Yin Marquis through communication channels is no longer included.
As for Jing Yan, his first encounter with Zhao Xing was still at South Luo Number 88, in front of that True Self Faction tomb.
However, there was a discrepancy regarding the identities of Zhao Xing and Lu Yuehan.
Zhao Xing was a rogue cultivator, while Lu Yuehan became a descendant of a prominent family in the Flame Moon Ancient Kingdom.
Similarly, everything related to the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom was automatically replaced with the Flame Moon Ancient Kingdom.
Including Du Yun as Jing Yan perceives him, the Purple God Mansion still consists of two mansions: the Purple Moon Mansion and the Yellow Sand Mansion. Both are forces under the control of the Flame Moon Ancient Kingdom.
As for Yu Tianqing, his experience remained unchanged.
He still remembered the time he was imprisoned, except it wasn't in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom that he was imprisoned.
It was actually a military prison in the Flame Moon Ancient Kingdom.
Le Yao and Cen Qionghua are also still alive and have become independent cultivators in the Flame Moon Ancient Kingdom.
"The Yan Flame Moon Ancient Kingdom has won big this time. All the remaining people of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom have become their people, including a great genius like Du Yun."
"And Lao Qing's roots have all been established in the Flame Moon Ancient Kingdom."
"This kind of memory modification is the least impactful, without changing the original life course or the karmic debts owed," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
Yu Tianqing owes me a favor, and I owe Jing Yan the same favor.
Although Du Yun didn't come, Zhao Xing still had his contact information, and he still remembered that he had asked him to open a tomb, but he didn't remember the matter of the Three Gods Fate Palace resolving the trouble.
"In other words, only the world of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom that was injured has achieved this," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "Oh, and those who died in the Reincarnation Realm."
From Zhao Xing's perspective, aside from the small number of the Reincarnation Realm whose true spirits had also perished, the rest of the Reincarnation Realm actively reincarnated to escape, thus losing a lifetime's worth of cultivation for nothing.
They won't remember losing any treasures or secret techniques—it's as if they never existed in this life.
"That means there are tens of thousands of the Reincarnation Realm in the Xuanling Star Domain right now—who knows how many monstrous geniuses will emerge from there."
Those who cultivate again at the Reincarnation Realm will naturally recover very quickly; some may even regain their Reincarnation Realm strength in less than a thousand years.
However, having one's cultivation interrupted so abruptly is like having no prior preparation, and some mistakes are bound to happen.
"I wonder what Wang Zhiyong is like," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
He didn't know if Wang Zhiyong was still alive, and Zhao Xing didn't check on the other nine Emperor Lord Realm either.
The reason is simple: there's no need to create trouble for yourself.
"Zhao Xing, now that you've come to the Empire, what are your plans?" Aries Yang raised his wine glass.
Zhao Xing's thoughts were pulled back to reality. "I want to enter the Primordial Beginning Realm Primordial Beginning Realm, but there seem to be very few ways to do so."
"The Primordial Beginning Realm?" Aries was slightly taken aback. "You want to follow the True Self' style?"
"Mm." Zhao Xing nodded.
The Primordial Beginning Realm is the Shennong Holy Land of the Red Star Empire, without exception.
Within the Red Star Empire, there are also numerous Time Faction and Earthly Advantage Faction Shennong, and these factions can be considered among the top.
However, what Zhao Xing seeks in the Empire is the Way of the True Self. If he were to pursue another path, such as the Holy Land of the Earthly Advantage Faction, he would go to the Ancient Hill of Antiquity.
As for the Time Faction's Holy Land? There is no universally acknowledged strongest Heavenly Timing Sect in the Xuanling Star Domain. Several top forces are arguing endlessly over this top spot, fighting tooth and nail.
The reason for this situation is that, in terms of legal principles, the True Self Faction has the Primordial Beginning Realm, the Ancient Hill of Antiquity, and a cultivation method called "Extreme Land".
However, neither the "Extreme Star" nor the "Dead Domain" mentioned in the theory of the Time Faction have ever been seen, nor are there any corresponding supreme methods.
The Ancient Hill of Antiquity possesses a method called "Extreme Land," which is widely recognized as the strongest.
The Primordial Beginning Realm is widely recognized as the holy land for cultivating the strongest Internal World of the True Self Faction.
Zhao Xing had a plan for First Tier of his life. Now that he had come to the Red Star Empire, he naturally wanted to do everything he could to enter the Primordial Beginning Realm, focusing primarily on the path of the True Self Faction. He wouldn't waste too much time and energy on other paths.
"It might be difficult for you to enter the Primordial Beginning Realm," Aries pondered. "You'll have to wait for easier channels, and going through back channels will be even harder. The Primordial Beginning Realm is where the Empire cultivates its elites; even those in the Reincarnation Realm find it difficult to get in."
"It is difficult," Zhao Xing nodded, "But I still want to give it a try."
"If you ask me, you should just become a martial artist." Chen Xuan said, taking a big bite of fish. "Zhao Xing, I have high hopes for you."
"Stop giving me bad advice, let's eat." Aries glanced at Chen Xuan.
"Alright!" Chen Xuan began to eat heartily.
Yu Tianqing asked curiously, "Captain, what are the different ways to enter the Primordial Beginning Realm?"
Aries held up one finger and said, "Three kinds."
"The first is the ' Primordial Convention '."
"The Primordial Beginning Realm opens once every three thousand years. At that time, assessments and selections will be conducted within the Primordial Beginning Realm. Not only the Agricultural Official, but also other professions will be assessed at the same time."
"Throughout the millions of star systems and countless Fate Star of the Red Star Empire, anyone who has reached the Source Origin Realm can register to participate."
"Then they studied there for about three thousand years."
"There are still 125 years until the next Primordial Convention."
"What about the second one?" Yu Tianqing asked.
"The second way is through merit exchange," Aries said. "Even if you miss the assessment, you can still cut in line. For example, at the border between the Empire and the Demon Race Clan, killing enemies and making merits can earn you an entry opportunity. However, this channel is generally only open to the Dao Domain Realm in the military; it's very difficult for the Source Origin Realm to accumulate such merits."
"His quota is also limited, and to redeem it, one must first join the army."
"Chen Xuan and I are members of Starfire, and we have enough merits, but it has taken us more than five thousand years."
Zhao Xing knew that the resources of the Primordial Beginning Realm could only be enjoyed by a small portion of the people, so there were only two principles for entering: either be a genius or be a meritorious contributor.
"What about the third channel?" Yu Tianqing asked.
Aries glanced at Jing Yan.
The latter wiped his mouth and gave a dignified smile, "This brings us to the royal family."
"As a prince, I have the right to enter the Primordial Beginning Realm, and my grandfather also has a quota to recommend me."
Yu Tianqing immediately received envious glances.
But apart from him, no one else took it seriously.
"Your grandfather won't do, it has to be your great-grandfather," Chen Xuan laughed. "One of the more than ten thousand princes..."
Even your grandfather, Beiye King -oh, might not remember you, let alone your great-grandfather. Have you ever met your great-grandfather?
Zhao Xing didn't even ask. There was no way Jing Yan could persuade his great-grandfather. Jing Yan was over 4,000 years old at birth, and he might not have even met his great-grandfather yet.
"This, I think I've seen before too—"
Jing Yan immediately deflated. "I just couldn't see it very clearly."
"It seems Brother Zhao can only choose the first option," Yu Tianqing with some regret. "125 years, that's almost here."
"What's the use of being fast?" Chen Xuan shook his head. "Whether we can get through or not is the real question."
"The competition in the Primordial Convention is too fierce; even the first round is difficult," Chen Xuan began to explain. "Take the Beihe Star System for example; last time, only a little over ten thousand people made it into the first round."
"Of these 10,000 people, I don't know how many Agricultural Official, but in short, very few."
"What about the Beiye Star System?" Zhao Xing asked.
"The situation is slightly better in the Beiye Star System, with 700,000 to 800,000 people passing the first round," Jing Yan said. "However, the population of my Beiye Star System is a hundred times larger than that of the Beihe Star System, so the probability is actually about the same."
"Some Fate Star don't even have a single person."
"Those over ten thousand years old are not needed in the Primordial Beginning Realm."
In other words, if an Imperial citizen wants to enter the Primordial Beginning Realm through this channel, they will only have a maximum of three opportunities in their lifetime.
Zhao Xing is already over four thousand years old; by all accounts, he won't have a second chance.
"Give it a try, and if it doesn't work, we can look at other options," Zhao Xing said.
If he makes a wish to Lao Qing and uses up his last wish, it's a sure thing, but that would be too wasteful.
Aries originally wanted to recruit Zhao Xing into Starfire. Seeing that Zhao Xing had made a decision, he said no more.
It's not too late to bring it up again after 125 years when Zhao Xing fails.
The group quickly changed the subject:
"Jing Yan, when will you inherit the throne?"
"Oh, I forgot, you're number 18,000+ in line. To inherit, you'll have to surpass the 10,000+ brothers and sisters ahead of you first."
"Captain, do you think we can live to see the day Jing Yan inherits the throne?"
"I don't know how many lifetimes I'll have to wait."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Chen Xuan and Yu Tianqing weren't very familiar with each other, so Zhao Xing couldn't make fun of them and could only joke about Jing Yan.
During the drinking session, Jing Yan was teased no less than twenty times, which made him quite depressed.
"Damn it, Zhao Xing! When I inherit the throne, I will definitely kill these two scoundrels!" Jing Yan said viciously.
"What?! You're going to kill the captain and Brother Chen after you inherit the throne?" Zhao Xing exclaimed in shock.
Aries and Chen Xuan immediately cast unfriendly glances at them.
At this moment, the five people have already started a new project - a battle of wits.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan immediately jumped off the field.
"You you you————" Jing Yan looked at Zhao Xing, filled with grief and indignation. Before he could finish speaking, Chen Xuan threw him onto the field to be beaten.
"Captain, please spare your men—!"
"Hahahaha." Laughter erupted from the sidelines.
Happy times are always short-lived, and soon Zhao Xing threw himself into cultivation to prepare for the Primordial Convention.
"I have now mastered the seven supernatural powers."
"Soul Heaven Vision, Divine Fire Turtle Transformation, Marrow Extraction Divine Power, Purple Light Eight Disciplines, Slaughter Thought Blade, Three Gods Fate Palace"
"The Giant Yang Straw Man."
"The Primordial Convention doesn't rely on equipment; it only considers individual cultivation."
"The Primordial Convention consists of four rounds of selection. These are nothing more than magic, dojo, soul, and willpower."
"Its registration has multiple sections, mainly divided into support type and combat type."
"I'm not going to register for the support category; it'll only make things more complicated," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
The empire is quite safe and peaceful, so there are far more auxiliary Agricultural Official than combat Agricultural Official.
If I try to win in this direction, I'm afraid I won't be able to win.
"These 125 years of cultivation have been marked by the Giant Yang Straw Man, Soul Heaven Vision, the Three Gods Fate Palace, and the Divine Power of Willpower."
The focus is on cultivation at the dojo.
Of all the combat-type supernatural abilities Zhao Xing Favorable Timing and Location, none were actually for combat. Even the Purple Light Eight Disciplines were all support-type.
In terms of background and experience, Zhao Xing is definitely not as good as the geniuses from those big families.
However, Zhao Xing also has an advantage that no one can match.
"No one knew what the assessment would involve before the selection process for the Primordial Convention began."
"But I know!"
"I remember the First Stage test of this year was a test of willpower, so the first thing to do was to cultivate the supernatural power of Killing Thought Blade." Zhao Xing recalled.
"To be better prepared, I need to practice another defensive willpower technique."
The Slaughter Thought Blade, in the realm of willpower-based supernatural abilities, belongs to the offensive type.
Having an extra defensive ability is never a bad thing.
"I still have two or three billion Red Star Coin, which is more than enough to buy a mind defense type of supernatural power."
Zhao Xing immediately began selecting, and soon locked onto a defensive mental ability.
"This is it, the ' Mind Bell ' sold on Ten Thousand Hearts Island. It has multiple directions to follow, and can be trained to develop Major Divine Ability."
Ten Thousand Hearts Island is a well-known power in the Red Star Empire, producing professions such as Mind Illusionist and Soul Controllers.
"There is a branch in the Beihe Star System. To hire a Dao Domain Realm scholar from Ten Thousand Hearts Island, the minimum cost is 100 million Red Star Coin. After imparting their knowledge, they will directly reach the level of Divine Power Level 1 to 3."
"Spend 1 billion, and after spreading the teachings, you will reach the fourth to sixth level."
"Spend 10 billion, and after spreading the teachings, you will reach the level of the seventh to Ninth Order."
"Guaranteed to teach and learn, saving time and effort, as long as you have money."
"Mind-based supernatural abilities are really expensive. Other supernatural abilities, even the cheapest ones only cost ten million Red Star Coin."
Zhao Xing selected the 1 billion service and placed the order through Star Mirror. Soon, a person from Ten Thousand Hearts Island appeared in Star Mirror.
"Please provide a location for preaching. Within the Beihe Star System, Ten Thousand Hearts Island will arrange for scholars to come and preach within ten years."
"If we leave the Beihe Star System, it will take even longer, depending on the distance."
"The Beihe Star System, the Wuye Constellation, the Fengdu World Star, and the Zhao King City."
"Please confirm again."
After confirming again, the staff of Ten Thousand Hearts Island replied, "We have confirmed the missionary scholar ' Xia Wenyuan ' for you, and he is expected to arrive in nine years and eight months."
Zhao Xing nodded and put away the Star Mirror.
In fact, Ten Thousand Hearts Island has a branch on a top-tier Realm Star in the Beihe Star System, and it would only take a few months to get there.
However, the missionary scholars also had to do preparatory work, such as queuing, so it would take more than nine years before they finally arrived at Fengdu World Star.
"I can't just sit idle for nine years. I should practice my Slaughter Thought Blade first," Zhao Xing pondered.
With a thought, he appeared inside the Agricultural Supervisorate of the Great Zhou.
"Greetings, Grand Minister of Agriculture." Meng Kun immediately stood up.
Because Ji Che had promised that Wang Tianzhi would be Zhao Xing's next Grand Minister of Agriculture.
Therefore, Zhao Xing is still nominally the Grand Minister of Agriculture, but in reality, several Agriculture Minister are in charge of the actual affairs.
"Lord Meng, there's no need for such formalities." Zhao Xing cupped his hands in greeting. "I've come to inquire whether the Great Zhou currently raises any ferocious beasts?"
"We've raised quite a few for food, but only three kinds of ferocious beasts: the Illusory Void Snake, the Silver-backed Spined Dragon, and the Maga Behemoth."
"How many are in the Third Realm?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Not many, only a few hundred," Meng Kun said. "It would be very costly to force these beasts into adulthood. This is a business that the Great Zhou has only had for nearly five hundred years, so we dare not be too reckless."
The Great Zhou Dynasty has improved, but in terms of its foundation, it is still not as strong as the Great Ye Dynasty of the past.
Ji Che had always wanted to make sweeping reforms, but the senior officials preferred to play it safe.
Therefore, even though the national treasury still has tens of billions of Red Star Coin, they are quite cautious in many business operations. "Only a few hundred heads—" Zhao Xing thought for a moment, "Never mind—who found this business?"
The three species that Great Zhou raised all had their life structures locked up, and ordinary people are not qualified to raise them.
"The connection was made by Lord Jing Yan; the seller is ' Heaven River Pasture,' a subsidiary of the ' Green Field Merchant Guild.'"
"I see."
"Why do you want to buy so many giant beasts?" Jing Yan, somewhat puzzled.
"Practice supernatural powers," Zhao Xing said.
"What kind of supernatural power?"
"The power of willpower."
"Oh, I understand," Jing Yan said. "I'll ask the Green Field Merchant Guild."
"OK."
Zhao Xing was certain that Green Field Merchant Guild had this business.
The Red Star Empire and many other ancient kingdoms are relatively safe, as they prohibit internal killings among their inhabitants.
But cultivators need combat experience, and if they can't kill people, what can they practice with?
A dojo is one way, but a dojo can't satisfy everyone, and it can't kill people.
As a result, some forces began to breed demonic beasts specifically to provide cultivators with combat experience.
The Green Field Merchant Guild even categorized them into many levels: ferocious beasts, fighting beasts, intelligent types, magic types, and physical types—.
The highest-level beasts are usually sent to the Starry Sky Arena for competitions; large-scale Starry Sky Arenas...
The Dao Domain Realm level is quite common.
There have even been instances of the Reincarnation Realm in the past, but such instances are quite rare.
"I asked, take a look." A short while later, Jing Yan sent over a list.
"Purple Flame Heart-Burning Bat, Greenwood Spirit Vine Python, Thousand-Eyed Star Spider, Star Illusion Heavenly Dark Fox, Ice Ripple Illusion Beast, Shadowy Blood Worm, Octagonal Demon Turtle...—"
Since Zhao Xing wanted to cultivate the power of willpower, Jing Yan asked about ferocious beasts with illusion-type talents.
"My willpower is currently at the Seventh Order of divine power. If I want to improve it further, I can only kill the corresponding star beasts."
Zhao Xing looked at the descriptions of each of the ferocious beasts.
The Green Field Merchant Guild truly lives up to its reputation for professionalism; each beast is labeled with its type, supernatural power level, habits, training time, number of battles fought, combat strength, and so on.
"Buy a little of everything, see which exercises are more effective, and then buy in bulk."
Zhao Xing bought more than a hundred different kinds of monsters in one go, all of which were Third Realm monsters and possessed at least fourth-level illusionary talents.
Buying three of each, he ordered over three hundred beasts of the Third Realm at once.
"Order successful, payment of 630 million Red Star Coin. The price is quite Justice," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
Red Star Coin have relatively strong purchasing power.
Taking people as an example, the compensation that the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom gave to the First Realm was only four hundred, six hundred, eight hundred, or ten million.
Converted to Red Star Coin, the lowest price for the first realm is only a little over 11,000 Red Star Coin!
The compensation for those in the Third Realm, when converted into Red Star Coin, is only a little over one million.
The Green Field Merchant Guild sells only high-quality goods, with each one starting at two million. Large breeding bases like the Green Field Merchant Guild have extremely tight cost control, yet they still make a profit.
Of course, there are still differences between humans and wild beasts.
Many celestial beasts are naturally powerful and can grow up as long as they are provided with a spiritual environment and inferior food. However, it is much more difficult for Human Race cultivators to reach the Third Realm.
It is precisely because of the innate advantages of the Demon Race that the Demon Race in the Xuanling Star Domain is able to occupy half of the country. "My personal account and the national treasury of the Great Zhou have a combined cash flow of 10 billion Red Star Coin. As long as I can raise my willpower to the Ninth Order within 5 billion Red Star Coin, it will be a great profit."
The scholar Zhuo En, who once passed on the supernatural power to him, is dead. This supernatural power is now extinct, and it is impossible to ask a scholar to improve it again.
Even scholars themselves don't know how to pass on their knowledge.
Of course, if it costs more than 10 billion, then it's not worth it.
10 billion could be used to hire a scholar to directly impart a new willpower technique, at least at the Seventh Order level.
One year later, 124 years before the start of the Primordial Convention.
More than three hundred mind-type Third Realm beasts appeared on Fengdu World Star.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, here are the fighting beasts you requested. 275 are four-star, and 38 are five-star."
"These 38 five-star beasts are a gift for you to experience, fellow Daoist." The Green Field Merchant Guild was responsible for escorting them, and the person in charge was only a Nascent Realm.
After all, transportation is just manual labor; all you need to do is know how to operate Realm Boat. There's not much technical skill involved. Once the goods are delivered, you just need to recite the information to the customer.
"Next, I will introduce these varieties to you, fellow Daoists—"
"No need," Zhao Xing interrupted. "Fellow Daoist, you can simply leave your things behind."
"Alright." The escorts from the Nascent Realm wisely kept their mouths shut.
Zhao Xing inspected the goods, and then had the Realm Boat driven to a Grotto-Heaven World to unload them.
He then signed the acceptance document and let the Green Field Merchant Guild of Commerce members leave.
Fengdu World Star replicates many features of the Profound Yellow World, such as the Grotto-Heaven World.
Zhao Xing has now arrived at the "Wind River Grotto Heaven," and the entrance to this Grotto-Heaven is located in his Zhao Prince's Residence.
Upon entering the Wind River Grotto Heaven, over three hundred giant beasts lay quietly on the grass, each one like a mountain, and each beast had a ' Origin Law Sealing Talisman ' on its body.
Zhao Xing only needs to tear off the magic talisman if he wants to awaken it.
"Let's start with this bat monster."
Zhao Xing to the front of the Purple Flame Heart-Burning Bat.
The Purple Flame Heart-Burning Bat resembles a bat, surrounded by mysterious purple flames that dance and flicker, seemingly possessing a spirit.
However, at this time the purple flames were dim.
It is very small, only a thousand feet long. Among the star beasts, a thousand feet is considered a small beast.
The Purple Flame Heart-Burning Bat has sharp ears, a wide mouth with sharp teeth inside, and curved, powerful claws.
When Zhao Xing tore open the talisman, it immediately opened its eyes.
"Buzz~" Its eyes were blood red, radiating a fiery glow, as if the Solar Yang was burning in its pupils.
The Purple Flame Heart-Burning Bat attacked the moment it saw Zhao Xing.
"Humans, damn humans!"
His fierce gaze revealed boundless rage, and a terrifying will surged towards Zhao Xing.
"They really have something; no wonder they've been trained by the Green Field Merchant Guild." Zhao Xing didn't back down an inch.
Mind-type behemoths have relatively fragile physical bodies and no other means of defense.
He was completely unafraid of close-range attacks; his Giant Yang Clone, Mystic Power Sixth Tier, was no mere figurehead. He could easily kill these mind-type beasts with just a few slaps.
"Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!!!"
The Purple Flame Heart-Burning Bat attacked frantically because of the magic talisman in Zhao Xing's hand; once it was torn off...
This will provoke it to fight.
Many monsters are intelligent and would rather die than be sparring partners, a fact that the Green Field Merchant Guild naturally took into account.
"Slaughter Thought Blade!"
Zhao Xing controlled his power and began to resist the attack of the Purple Flame Heart-Burning Bat.
Two days later.
"Puff!"
The Purple Flame Heart-Burning Bat was killed by Zhao Xing.
"Next."
Each variety has three heads. Zhao Xing takes about ten days on average to complete the trial of a variety.
After testing each species— Greenwood Spirit Vine Python, Thousand-Eyed Star Spider, Star Illusion Heavenly Dark Fox, Ice Ripple Illusion Beast, Shadowy Blood Worm, and Octagonal Demon Turtle— it took two and a half years to complete all the tests.
121 years until the start of the Primordial Convention.
Inside the Wind River Grotto Heaven, Zhao Xing killed the last ferocious beast.
"The test results are in."
"Of the 105 varieties, four were the most effective for me."
"First, the Thousand-Eyed Star Spider."
"Secondly, the Ice Ripple Illusion Beast."
"Thirdly, the Purple Flame Heart-Burning Bat."
"Fourth, the Octagonal Demon Turtle."
"The other effects are noticeably weaker."
Since the effects are similar, then we'll just look at the price.
Zhao Xing glanced at the price list and found that the Octagonal Demon Turtle was the cheapest of the four.
"Each one is 100,000 Red Star Coin cheaper. I bought in bulk and easily saved 100 million."
One hundred million Red Star Coin are nothing to Old Master Zhao.
But now that he wants to use the money in the Great Zhou treasury, he has to be careful with it.
"You're the one, Octagonal Demon Turtle."
After Zhao Xing left Wind River Grotto Heaven, he began to report to Ji Che.
"Why did you wake me, elder brother?"
"Your Majesty, I would like to withdraw some money from the national treasury, approximately three billion Red Star Coin."
"You have to ask me about such a trivial matter, elder brother?" Ji Che said with dissatisfaction. "If it weren't for your gift of 5 billion Red Star Coin, where would the national treasury have so much money today, and where would the Great Zhou be today?"
"Just go and withdraw it yourself, don't ask me again!"
"I'm extremely busy right now!"
I don't know what Ji Che was busy with, he said a few words and then closed his eyes again.
Zhao Xing was speechless.
Speaking of the money in the Great Zhou treasury, he really didn't contribute much.
After Yun Tian Dao became Duke Ruo Hai's disciple, he received 10 billion Red Star Coin, keeping half for himself and giving the other half to the Great Zhou.
After a thousand years of development, thanks to Jing Yan's network of connections and the efforts of the Great Zhou's rulers and ministers—5 billion Red Star Coin.
It has already increased several times over!
Of course, the Great Zhou also has a lot of expenses. You should know that even Meng Kun is now in the second realm, and the number of people in the Third Realm in the entire Great Zhou has exceeded five hundred. Various infrastructure projects are also developing rapidly.
Therefore, only about 11.5 billion yuan remained in the national treasury.
However, after the memory was modified, the original five billion became the harvest he obtained from digging up graves in Yueluo Cemetery.
"I feel ashamed that Old Yun's credit has been given to me—"
"However, Old Yun is already at the Dao Domain Realm, so even if he knew, he wouldn't care."
"I just don't know what Ji Che is busy with. He doesn't even have time to say a few words."
"Are they really planning to open up a second territory?"
Zhao Xing thought it was very likely!
"After that disaster, many Reincarnation Realm were reborn. Although the Divine Realm modified their memories to minimize the impact, it still affected the overall structure of the Xuanling Star Domain."

"Looks like I need to work harder too," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "I can't be a parasite on the Great Zhou."
Zhao Xing's efforts will bring trouble upon the Octagonal Demon Turtle.
At the Green Field Merchant Guild, he spent 3.5 billion to purchase a total of 2,000 Octagonal Demon Turtle for cultivation.
From then on, the roar of the Octagonal Demon Turtle echoed Wind River Grotto Heaven.
Seven years later.
"Pfft~"
Zhao Xing killed the Turtle Race- like beast with an octagonal Turtle Shell and a dark purple exterior.
The Slaughter Thought Blade in his eyes suddenly became even more solid.
"You've already reached halfway through the eighth level of Divine Power, and this Octagonal Demon Turtle has only used less than half of it. The effect is truly remarkable," Zhao Xing couldn't help but exclaim.
If Wu Tian were here, he would probably laugh his head off.
He sent a portion of power through the Divine Lamp, which enhanced Zhao Xing's talent in this area, though Zhao Xing was unaware of it.
In fact, the reason he cultivated his supernatural powers so quickly was that the Octagonal Demon Turtle was just an extra; the main reason was the power of the Heart Lamp!
However, Zhao Xing felt that he had an inexplicable connection with the Turtle Race.
In the process of killing the Octagonal Demon Turtle, not only did his willpower and supernatural abilities become stronger.
Even Transformation of Seasons Art's "Divine Fire Turtle Transformation" has evolved from the third level of supernatural powers to the fifth level.
Zhao Xing was in a good mood and hummed a song as he left the Grotto-Heaven.
Because of the Star Mirror's warning, the scholar "Xia Wenyuan" from Ten Thousand Hearts Island will arrive in only Heavenly Timing.
"My name is Xia Wenyuan, and I am a scholar sent by Ten Thousand Hearts Island to spread our teachings."
"Please enter my [Enlightenment Realm], where I will bestow upon you enlightenment and teach you the supernatural power of the [Mind Bell]."
"If you spend one billion Red Star Coin, you will definitely learn this supernatural power, and you will skip the time spent learning the basics."
"Whether it's the fourth or Mystic Power Sixth Tier supernatural power depends on your comprehension."
100 years until the start of the Primordial Convention.
Zhao Xing emerged from Xia Wenyuan's Enlightenment Realm.
"The Enlightenment Realm lasted for a full 15 years, costing me six Dao Fruit. What a loss!"
Xia Wenyuan thought to himself.
The Enlightenment Realm requires the Dao Tree within the scholar's body to maintain it, and the Dao Fruit to be consumed.
If Zhao Xing only comprehends the method of the fourth level of supernatural power, then he only needs to consume four Dao Fruit, and Xia Wenyuan will have made a profit.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xing directly comprehended the sixth level.
"Thank you." Since this was just a business transaction, Zhao Xing simply nodded, which was enough to express his gratitude.
Seeing that the client didn't intend to give a tip, Xia Wenyuan didn't linger and quickly flew away from Fengdu World Star.
Zhao Xing didn't see him off or anything, and went straight into Heaven River Grotto Heaven to continue his cultivation by killing turtles according to plan, spending money to buy resources to improve himself.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the third year before the start of the Primordial Convention.
