"The most crucial part is here." Zhao Xing looked at Emperor Chen Jiu above his head.

The selection of geniuses has been completed. The next step is to go to different batches to meet the powerful figures of different levels in the Primordial Beginning Realm and go through the apprenticeship process.

"I won one match in the finals, so I should be able to become the teacher of one of the Reincarnation Emperor Lord."

With only 160 people left in the finals, winning one match would reduce the number of participants to 80. Zhao Xing could be considered one of the top 80 geniuses in the Primordial Beginning Realm Primordial Convention. There weren't many True Self Faction Realm Agricultural Official could be sent out, and the Emperor Lord Realm didn't have much time to teach students, so the number of them was relatively small.

According to past practice, only 160 people can be accepted as disciples, while very few of the remaining 1,840 are accepted as disciples and taught by Emperor Lord Level figure.

"Whoosh~"

After Emperor Chen Jiu finished speaking, tens of thousands of people flew out from the temporary residence where Zhao Xing was.

Because of the three factions and six divisions of the Heavenly Timing, the Earthly Advantage Institute, and the Primordial Beginning Realm True Self, a total of 18,572 Agricultural Official were selected from the Primordial Realm.

The True Self Faction" combat zone has 2,000 people, and the rest are from other zones.

Swish swish~

The 18,572 people were divided into different Fang Zhen according to their respective districts and rankings.

Zhao Xing's Fang Zhen had the fewest members, with only 160 people.

"He actually made it to the finals."

"When I first met him in the second round in the Manya Small World, he wasn't even at the Grand Mystic Power Realm. I never expected that in just two hundred years, he would actually make it to the finals."

Xiao Xuan, a half -Turtle Race, felt a pang of sadness when he saw Zhao Xing standing among the 160 people.

"That bastard." Xilin also saw Zhao Xing and subconsciously gritted her teeth. She remembered that Zhao Xing had blown her up and disfigured her, but she didn't remember what happened after that. Now, thinking about it, she still felt a burning hatred.

"You beast!"

"Hmph, you bitch!"

These whispers came from contestants who had been eliminated by Zhao Xing.

They had consumed countless Void Mushroom and had all been tormented by Zhao Xing on the Realm Star Arena.

"His reputation is no less than that of the top ten." The Five Poisons Emperor Lord stood next to Zuo Qiyu, looking at the genius Agricultural Official gathered below the vines.

"You call that fame?" Zuo Qiyu glanced at the Five Poisons Emperor Lord. "That's true, you were pretty much the same back then."

"The old beast takes in the young beast, how wonderful!"

"What kind of good thing are you, Left Envoy?" The Five Poisons Emperor Lord looked at Zuo Qiyu, who had a completely Buddhist expression, and couldn't help but sneer. "In the Battle of the Three-Bay River Domain, I wasn't as ruthless as you."

Zuo Qiyu said indifferently, "It was all done by the straw man, what does it have to do with me?"

Upon hearing this, the Five Poisons Emperor Lord sighed, "The Left Envoy's skin is thicker than tree bark."

While they were chatting, the Sino Genius below had been teleported one after another through the Thousand Star Vine.

"Even with the Thousand Star Vine's ability to traverse space and teleport, it can still only cover 30% of the Primordial Beginning Realm."

"Fortunately, the area of human activity in the Primordial Beginning Realm is mainly within the 30% area covered by the Thousand Star Vine."

While leading the geniuses on their mission, Emperor Chen Jiu was also giving a brief introduction.

"From today onwards, your Star Mirror will be linked to individuals, and the level of confidentiality will be increased."

"You should also be careful. Do not go to any place that is not shown on your Star Mirror map. It is either a forbidden area of the Primordial Beginning Realm or a place where the Empire's treasures are stored."

"If you trespass recklessly, you could be injured or even lose your life. Even if you are lucky enough to escape unscathed, you will be severely punished, and may even lose your eligibility for further study and be expelled from the Primordial Beginning Realm. Remember this."

"Yes." Everyone indicated that they had made a note of it.

The Primordial Beginning Realm was not only the sacred ground for the empire to cultivate its Agricultural Official, but also the site of many significant magical researches and the creation of Divine Soldier.

In areas like the [Three Thousand Dao Seeds] region, Zhao Xing and his group could only visit a few places before.

Even now, we can only visit less than one-tenth of the area.

Because many places involve major secrets, one is not qualified to know them until reaching the Reincarnation Realm, let alone enter them.

Zhao Xing knew of many similar places, such as the eastern region of the Primordial Beginning Realm, where there was a secret star system conducting research on life-mechanical systems.

That seemed to be an experiment led by the Red Star Great Emperor Red Star Great Emperor, who was Divine Realm of the mechanical profession!

Zhao Xing knew this because in the next version, [Star River Square Realm], when the Desolate Territory at the edge of the Xuanling Star Domain is opened up, some experimental subjects will be released from it.

These experimental subjects, fused with plant life and mechanical weapons, are known as the "Red Star Heavenly Soldier." They possess the computational and deductive abilities of the Great Derivation Divine Weapon, and their "combat instincts" are terrifying, having almost all the secret techniques of their respective professions.

Furthermore, it can perform weakness analysis, and each one is extremely terrifying.

Meanwhile, in the western part of the Primordial Beginning Realm, the Agricultural Official from the Ancient Hill of Antiquity had arrived in the Primordial Beginning Realm, intending to cooperate in opening up a [Star River Ancient Road] in the Desolate Territory.

The star clusters in the southern part of the Primordial Beginning Realm have planted a large amount of strategic resources, which are at least for use by those in the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm.

"The Empire is preparing to explore the borders of the Desolate Territory, and has already concentrated its national strength and resources in this direction. I will study in the Primordial Beginning Realm for 2486 years, and the timeline of the next version will be about 3000 years from now."

"The process of the Xuanling Star Domain becoming desolate will also accelerate in the future, and only about one-tenth of these reincarnated Reincarnation Realm will be able to recover their strength."

Zhao Xing gently twirled his fingertips as his gaze swept over the surrounding 'geniuses'.

Many people Reincarnation, but as the situation in the Xuanling Star Domain deteriorates, becoming a god, let alone reaching the Reincarnation Realm, becomes increasingly difficult.

This is not due to talent, but rather to environment!

The Desolate Territory spreads, the Great Dao disappears, and spiritual energy diminishes—at that time, the Xuanling Star Domain will show signs of ' Annihilation Chapter '.

"Cherish your cultivation time in the Primordial Beginning Realm. You must at least reach the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm to seize the opportunity to develop the Desolate Territory."

"If I had followed the same path as in my previous life, I would probably have failed to reach the Divine Realm again. Fortunately, I entered the Primordial Beginning Realm much earlier in this life."

Many thoughts flashed through my mind, but I quickly suppressed them.

One month later.

Emperor Chen Jiu led his people on a journey that was slow and intermittent, and the number of people in the group gradually decreased.

When they arrived at the last stop, only 160 people remained next to Emperor Chen Jiu.

It no longer takes people through the Thousand Star Vine teleportation channel, but instead summons a small boat to fly.

Before long, a shocking scene unfolded before everyone's eyes:

Under the vast starry sky, a nine-leafed ancient tree floats in the void.

At its very top are two leaves, most of which are submerged in the air, with only a small portion visible.

The leaves were incredibly vast, with veins like ancient runes running through them, emitting a soft and strange glow.

It seems to be telling the secrets of the beginning of the universe.

On one of the green leaves, a Sun Star is quietly held aloft. This Sun Star is like a giant, burning furnace, releasing endless light and heat.

The dazzling golden light surged and billowed outwards like a raging wave, each ray containing enough energy to ignite the entire galaxy.

On another green leaf, a Yin Star rests.

The Yin Star radiates a cool and pure silver light, a stark contrast to the Sun Star's intense heat. Its radiance is like a tranquil lake, gentle and profound, seemingly capable of reflecting the very soul of all things in the world.

The craters and vast plains on the surface of the stars are faintly visible under the moonlight, mysterious and solemn. These two stars, one hot and one cold, one bright and one dark, are steadily supported by the two green leaves of this plant.

They remained completely still, as if they had achieved some kind of balance.

Only when the light intertwines to form a dreamlike light curtain, it twists the surrounding space into strange shapes.

Apart from the two large leaves at the top, the seven leaves below are surrounded by numerous smaller stars. Upon closer inspection, one can see that city buildings are constructed on those stars.

In the smaller, pixel-like areas, green leaves curl up, weaving together to form Gate of Space-Time to unknown places.

"The Primordial Divine Tree is also the core of the entire Primordial Beginning Realm." Zhao Xing was still shocked when he saw it again.

The other geniuses, including Tuo Sen, Pu Guangrui, Han Chiba, and You Ling, were also shocked.

Regardless of whether there are Reincarnation people among them, when they see the Primordial Divine Tree for the first time, they can hardly suppress the awe that comes from the bottom of their hearts.

"A divine tree, I used to think it was just a legend—I never imagined it actually existed in the Primordial Beginning Realm." Pu Tianrui, who ranked second in this competition, couldn't help but mutter to himself with a dazed look in his eyes.

"In this vast universe, on this magnificent path, plant life can actually reach such a level." Young Lotus Fairy, standing not far from Zhao Xing, also exclaimed in amazement. "Humans are truly insignificant."

"To have seen this in this life, I have no regrets even in death." Han Chiba's face was filled with fervor.

"The main Thousand Star Vine was attached to the Primordial Divine Tree."

"Stars orbit the tree, the strong survive on it, humanity, nature, and the great way of the universe are in harmony, it is truly a great design."

"Great-"

The existence of the Primordial Divine Tree shocked all the geniuses, making them realize their own insignificance.

Emperor Chen Jiu smiled slightly. The reason he didn't teleport directly in but flew in from the outside was precisely to achieve this effect.

"This is just the tip of the iceberg of the Primordial Beginning Realm. Everyone, please sit tight. There will be plenty of time to appreciate it later."

After giving a reminder, Emperor Chen Jiu controlled the flying boat beneath his feet, traversing the endless void and landing on the lowest leaf of the Primordial Chapter Tree.

The leaf is a supercontinent with many cities and buildings of different styles.

After landing, the visual impact wasn't as stunning, but it still aroused immense curiosity.

"Everyone," Emperor Chen Jiu landed before a city painted in four colors: blue, white, black, and green. "This is Seaweed City. You may enter directly."

"Seaweed City got its name from the ideology of its factions, because most of the powerful beings in the Primordial Beginning Realm believed that life originated from the Primordial Beginning Ocean."

"Secondly, seaweed is the earliest known plant life, and the Seaweed City was built using an ancient seaweed material."

"There are seventy-two powerful figures preaching in Seaweed City. You can listen to their teachings and find a suitable teacher. A teacher might even come to you. In short—each of you can become an Emperor Lord Realm's disciple!"

After Emperor Chen Jiu finished speaking, he put away the flying boat and released 160 geniuses.

"Thank you for leading the way, Emperor Chen Jiu." Zhao Xing was the first to bow and pay his respects, subconsciously trying to gain favor.

The other geniuses, realizing what was happening, also bowed and said, "Thank you Emperor Chen Jiu."

Emperor Chen Jiu glanced at Zhao Xing and smiled slightly.

After returning the gift, they disappeared in front of the Seaweed City.

"Swish swish~"

The 160 geniuses immediately flew towards the city to find a teacher who suited them.

Soon only five people remained in front of the city gate.

Zhao Xing glanced at the remaining people, who included Tuo Sen, You Ling, and Pu Guangrui.

Those ranked lower were more eager, while those ranked higher seemed less anxious.

"Thank you, Young Lotus Fairy." Now that it was private time, Zhao Xing bowed to You Ling to thank her for her previous guidance.

"Oh? Didn't you thank me before? Why are you thanking me again?" Young Lotus Fairy was looking at the walls of Seaweed City when she suddenly heard Zhao Xing speak and immediately turned her head to look.

"After the battle with the fairy, I was able to successfully master the Major Divine Ability of the World Method," Zhao Xing said. "However, due to the time constraints, I didn't have time to prepare the Dao Tablet for copying."

"It's alright." Young Lotus Fairy was quite easygoing. "Good food is worth the wait, you can bring it whenever you want."

Seeing that she was focused on observing the seaweed patterns on the outer city wall, Zhao Xing did not disturb her any further.

As for the others, Zhao Xing had no prior interaction with them and didn't make any special effort to contact them, so he went straight into the city.

As soon as we entered the city, before we even saw what it looked like inside, a dark green pulpit floated over from above.

Above, a middle-aged man dressed in a black and gold robe sat cross-legged, chanting with an unfathomable expression. "The mind is the field, the path is the plant, the spiritual root is deeply rooted, the will is hard to wither, in the morning we welcome the five elements to nourish the seedlings, in the evening we guard the true essence to help the leaves revive."

Zhao Xing looked up and saw that the man's Dao Debate Platform was engraved with several large, golden characters: Five Elements Emperor Lord.

The title "Five Poisons Emperor Lord" is a nickname; the Five Elements Emperor Lord" is the one he gave himself.

At this point, it would be better to use the name of the Five Elements Emperor Lord to accept disciples.

Zhao Xing glanced at it, cupped his hands in greeting, and continued on his way.

The poem was good, but he also knew of the Five Poisons Emperor Lord's reputation.

The Five Poisons Scripture invite their disciples to conduct experiments, ostensibly for research, but in reality, they often poison their disciples, leaving them neither human nor ghost.

The disciple's skill improved greatly, but the process was very arduous.

Who could stand being around a virus strain every day?

For Zhao Xing, the Five Poisons Emperor Lord was neither his first choice nor his second choice; he had no intention of worshipping the Five Poisons Emperor Lord at all.

"Huh? Gone?" The Five Poisons Emperor Lord was slightly taken aback. "Was my Dao Voice not powerful enough just now?"

Thinking to himself, the Five Poisons Emperor Lord moved the high platform and disappeared from the spot. Half an hour after Zhao Xing flew away, he found a corner and met him again.

"The Yang Star, like frost, reflect and harmonize nature."

"Nourish the body with the six vital energies, the Great Dao is infinitely profound—why did the grass run away again?"

The Daoist essence and extraordinary phenomena displayed by the Five Poisons Emperor Lord this time were magnificent.

He attracted seven or eight geniuses to become his disciples, but Zhao Xing left without even glancing at them.

"Hahahahahahahaha~" Zuo Qiyu laughed mercilessly as he sat on the rooftop, drinking under the bright moon.

Seeing the Five Poisons Emperor Lord eat so often, his appetite improved even more.

"Laugh at your ancestors!" the Five Poisons roared. "If you're so capable, why don't you do it yourself!"

Zuo Qiyu, with his legs crossed, dangled from the eaves. "Five Poisons, don't provoke me. If I really take them in, won't you hate me?"

"I think you should just stop him and tell him directly."

"Just say I'm a pitiful old poisoner with a bad reputation and no skills. I beg you to become my apprentice—hahahahaha."

The void in front of Zuo Qiyu twisted into a powerful aura, and he dodged the Five Poisons Emperor Lord's attack in a flash.

However, the bottle was smashed to pieces.

Zuo Qiyu glanced at it, and without saying a word, jumped in front of Zhao Xing.

"I am Zuo Qiyu, one of the Twelve Primordial Beginning Envoy, skilled in the Straw Man Art. I have never had a disciple; would you be willing to become my apprentice?"

Zhao Xing was immediately startled. Zuo Qiyu?

Could it be Zuo Qiyu, the Great Beginning Clone? He actually showed up and offered to take me as his disciple?

Zuo Qiyu is his first choice, what else is there to say?

Zhao Xing immediately wanted to become his apprentice.

Unexpectedly, he couldn't complete the bow; his body stiffened and he couldn't move.

"What happened? Am I poisoned?" Zhao Xing looked at his hands with some surprise, noticing that they had turned a liverish color.

Another figure appeared beside him.

It was none other than the Five Poisons Emperor Lord I had already met twice.

"You are not allowed to worship him!" The Five Poisons Emperor Lord glared angrily at Zuo Qiyu. "This man has had disciples before, but they betrayed him. For a teacher to act like this shows how despicable he is!"

Zhao Xing was completely confused about the situation, but he felt that Zuo Qiyu had been hit where it hurt. He saw Zuo Qiyu's whole body burst into flames, and an extremely terrifying wave twisted towards the Five Poisons Emperor Lord.

"No way, they actually started fighting?" Zhao Xing was stunned. The personality of the True Self Faction is a bit strange, but this is the Primordial Beginning Realm. Two Emperor Lord Level big shots, they just started fighting like that?

When the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer as well; Zhao Xing is now terrified that he will be badly injured.

Unfortunately, with the two Emperor Lord Realm taking action, there was nothing he could do.

Just when it seemed disaster was imminent, all the terrifying fluctuations vanished in the next moment.

Zuo Qiyu's flames disappeared, and the six purple pillars of energy on the Five Poisons Emperor Lord's body also retracted.

A man dressed in a white robe embroidered with a golden sapling appeared between the two.

The patterns on the seedlings glowed faintly, their mysterious lines seemingly freezing time and space around them.

Zhao Xing noticed that Tuo Sen, You Ling, and Pu Guangrui, who had entered from outside the city, moved slowly, as if crawling like tortoises.

The Demigod Gu Luo River appeared and stopped the fight.

"Five Poisons, Qi Yu, you've gone too far," Gu Luo River said calmly.

Although Gu Luo River only said it casually, both the Five Poisons Emperor Lord and Zuo Qiyu calmed down completely and lowered their heads to admit their mistakes.

"You two should go down and calm down first." Gu Luo River waved his hand, and the two Emperor Lord Realm immediately sank into the ground.

The surrounding spacetime returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Tuo Sen, You Ling, and Pu Guangrui walked past them without even noticing Zhao Xing and Gu Luo River standing in the middle of the street.

At this moment, Zhao Xing also found that his body had recovered completely, as if time had turned back.

However, the Gu Luo River appeared before him, proving that everything he had just experienced was not an illusion.

"As expected of the Gu Luo River, Demigod capable of locking down life in the microscopic world." Zhao Xing was filled with admiration.

The attitudes of Zuo Qiyu and the Five Poisons Emperor Lord also indirectly prove that Gu Luo River's strength is absolutely undeniable!

"Zhao Xing," Gu Luo River turned around, "I will teach you during your time in the Primordial Beginning Realm. Are you willing?"
