Peak Straw Man, Demon God Earth Palace, Extreme Land Mustard Seed Mountain!

"Hong Shan Lao, please wait outside. We have some private matters to discuss." The Five Poisons Emperor Lord and Zuo Qiyu led Zhao Xing through the barrier and into the Locust Willow Courtyard, but stopped the Emperor Hongshan outside.

Hong Shan Lao? Now it was Zhao Xing's turn to have his eyes twitch. This teacher, the Five Poisons Emperor Lord, is really too worldly. Please let him in and have a seat.

Emperor Hongshan wasn't angry. He just glanced at Zhao Xing and smiled, "It's alright. Let's take a stroll around Coral City. When this city was built, it was still a blank shell. This is my first time here since it was completed."

Zhao Xing gave an apologetic look, and then was led into the Locust Willow Courtyard by Zuo Qiyu and the Five Poisons Emperor Lord, one on each side of his shoulders.

A shadow fell over the willow tree, and the next second, the three of them entered the Internal World of the Five Poisons Emperor Lord.

To be honest, this was Zhao Xing's first time entering the Five Poisons Emperor Lord's Internal World, and the feeling he got was one of boundless prosperity and wonder.

On one of his Realm Star, there were trillions upon trillions of plants, and many of them were hybrids.

Sometimes, a single plant can exhibit characteristics of multiple family classifications, including those of the Compendium of Materia Medica, the Compendium of Woody Plants, the Bamboo Family, Thorn Family.

Within the Five Poisons Emperor Lord's Internal World, the categories, systems, phyla, and species were stacked one on top of another, each brimming with vitality, creating a sense of violent aesthetics.

It is clear that the Five Poisons Emperor Lord's Internal World is in the "Myriad Phenomena" stage out of the four stages.

Gu Luo River's Internal World is different. The Great Dao is clear and obvious. There is a Realm Star in his body, and usually only one tree is planted. But that tree is often a magical existence that can turn decay into wonder. Zhao Xing does not know First Tier Gu Luo River's Internal World should be considered.

"Master, your Internal World is truly magnificent and vast; the circulation of spiritual energy here seems to encompass the entire universe—"

Flattery will get you everywhere. As soon as Zhao Xing came in, he showered him with praise as if it were free, showering him with compliments.

"Haha, really? I think so too." Five Poisons was overjoyed.

Boom!

Zuo Qiyu couldn't stand it any longer, so he directly used a finger to destroy a star, turning one of the Five Poisons Emperor Lord's Realm Star into ashes.

"What are you doing?!" The Five Poisons Emperor Lord glared angrily.

Zuo Qiyu remained silent, simply moving his finger to aim at the second Realm Star.

"Alright, alright, let's get down to business!"

The Five Poisons Emperor Lord finally realized what was happening.

Zuo Qiyu immediately withdrew his finger.

Zhao Xing, who was standing next to him, felt a chill run down his spine; he truly didn't understand the way these two communicated.

The Five Poisons Emperor Lord turned to Zhao Xing: "Disciple, there is something I need to tell you."

"Please speak, Master."

"The Empire is currently undertaking a major development project in the northwest, and along the Jiachen Pass towards the Si Yue Desolate Territory, it has built more than 30,000 exploration bases of varying sizes."

"The Empire's military, with its large and small legions, totals over a million, making this the largest exploration operation since the beginning of the Desolate Territory Era," the Five Poisons Emperor Lord began to recount the ins and outs.

"As for why we started this exploration, I'm sure you know."

"The Xuanling Star Domain is becoming Desolate Territory."

Zhao Xing listened quietly; this was the background story of the "Star River Myriad Realms" version.

The Five Poisons Emperor Lord said, "The major powers have different understandings of the Desolate Territory. Some believe that the Desolate Territory can be stopped and can be governed."

"Some people believe that it is unstoppable and irreversible."

"According to our 'True Self Faction ' school of thought, the phenomenon of Desolate Territory degradation means that the cosmic territory where the Xuanling Star Domain is located has entered a ' Annihilation Stage.'"

"The physician's theory is that a super pathogen exists in the Xuanling Star Domain, and the Desolate Territory was caused by a certain pathogen. It can be restored as long as it is eliminated."

"Scholars, on the other hand, believe..." The Five Poisons Emperor Lord was speaking enthusiastically when his eyes caught Zuo Qiyu's finger twitch, so he immediately skipped the preamble and got straight to the point.

"In short, all the major powers now believe that to increase habitable territory, we need to govern it and explore the unknown territories of the universe. Otherwise, when the time comes, we will all be doomed."

"Since the beginning of the Desolate Territory Era, the Empire has done a very good job in both of these areas. The Agricultural Official in the Primordial Beginning Realm have made great contributions. Therefore, some people say that if the Empire's achievements in governance are taken into account, the Desolate Territory theory is not valid."

"Alas, our neighbors are too useless," the Five Poisons Emperor Lord lamented. "The Demon Race is muddle-headed, only knowing how to devour and not how to cultivate, and is wantonly destroying the environment of the spiritual energy star field. Among the Human Race, the efficiency of the various ancient kingdoms is also uneven, and the spiritual energy territory as a whole is still shrinking."

"Before the start of the Desolate Territory Era, the Empire continuously sent Fate Officials to Ten Directions Mountain."

"Finally, in the first era of the Desolate Territory, I obtained the fortune of the First Divination."

"We also learned that the Si Yue Desolate Territory is a promising area for exploration."

"And so at that time, the Empire began small-scale explorations."

Zhao Xing suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder the Empire suddenly launched a large-scale exploration of the Si Yue Desolate Territory; it turns out they obtained the precious "First Hexagram of Ten Directions" in the 1st Era!

Ten Directions Mountain is one of the ten most wondrous places in Profound Spirit, and it has a strong connection with the Fate Master Profession.

It only appears once per era.

Once Fate Master establishes a position on Ten Directions Mountain, they will not have to pay any price, will not suffer any backlash, and will be impossible to track.

Within the time limit, the first Fate Master to climb the mountain has a 100% success rate.

However, the timing of the First Divination is extremely critical.

In the historical records of the Xuanling Star Domain, those who obtained the First Divination were extremely rare.

Because it is extremely rare, those who obtain the First Divination will not reveal its contents, so there are many different opinions on how many times the First Divination has occurred.

Unexpectedly, the empire had actually obtained the First Hexagram of Ten Directions?

"That's true. With the guidance of the First Hexagram of Ten Directions, the Empire is willing to invest heavily and spare no expense in its exploration," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

The Five Poisons Emperor Lord cupped his hands and looked up at the heavens, saying, "As the saying goes, if one obtains the First Hexagram of Ten Directions, becoming a god is not difficult. That Legendary Physiognomist of the empire obtained this divination, but used it to predict the future of the empire, which is tantamount to giving up the opportunity to become a god. He is truly worthy of respect."

This time, Zuo Qiyu didn't mind the Five Poisons Emperor Lord's nonsense. He also cupped his hands towards the sky, seemingly paying homage to the Legendary Physiognomist.

Zhao Xing followed suit and bowed as well.

The Five Poisons Emperor Lord did not continue to talk about the Ten Directions Mountain and the Legendary Physiognomist. Obviously, this was still a secret to Zhao Xing. Even members of the Coral Grade could only know a little bit about it.

"The contents of the First Divination are invaluable."

"Originally, the Empire was going to act alone."

"However, the Desolate Territory Era 2 is about to end, and the situation has changed somewhat."

"The Empire has sent out too many manpower and resources, so we have no choice but to invite other forces to join us," the Five Poisons Emperor Lord explained. "Currently, heavyweight figures from the Reincarnation Temple, the Ancient Hill of Antiquity, the Primordial Origin Heavenly Palace, the Desolate Territory Ancient Kingdoms Alliance, and the Academy City have all arrived in the Primordial Beginning Realm to discuss specific matters of cooperation."

Zhao Xing nodded slightly. Exploring the unknown territories of the universe is no different from fighting a major war. In the early stages, it is basically pure input with very little output.

The Red Star Empire faces immense pressure: to explore, combat the desolation of the Desolate Territory, guard against the invasion of the Demon Race, and deal with internal geopolitical conflicts within the Human Race.

Following the events of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, Wen accelerated the desolation of the Desolate Territory, which increased the pressure on the empire. Forming teams to share the burden was a truly desperate measure.

"What benefits is the empire going to give up?" Zhao Xing asked, hoping to learn some truth about the empire from a powerful figure like the Five Poisons Emperor Lord.

Five Poisons Emperor Lord: "Without a doubt, the Empire has the dominant power in development."

"Someone wants to see the contents of the Empire's First Hexagram of Ten Directions. Since the first era of the Desolate Territory, the Empire has encountered countless massive attempts to probe its destiny and even attacks."

"Because of the Great Derivation Divine Weapon and the presence of that legendary Fate Master, they have never succeeded in taking it."

In Zhao Xing's mind, he seemed to see a scene: countless threads of fate surged from all over the Xuanling Star Domain, attempting to attack the Empire and obtain news of the First Divination. Meanwhile, the people living in the Empire remained completely unaware, continuing to live in peace and prosperity.

"That's truly remarkable; no wonder they even concealed their names."

"So, the reason the Empire reacted so quickly to the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom incident was because it was frequently attacked by fate, which allowed it to quickly learn about events in the world?" Zhao Xing wondered to himself.

The Five Poisons Emperor Lord said, "Since it's a cooperation, we should always give the other party a share of the benefits."

"Everyone wants to benefit from the Empire, and the Empire also wants everyone to give us resources and do our work."

"The specific distribution of benefits is very complicated and has not yet been determined, so I won't go into details."

"In conclusion, the Primordial Beginning Realm has now decided to confirm some of the initial responsibilities through a decisive battle that does not exceed the Dao Domain Realm."

Zhao Xing understood, but he didn't understand why the Five Poisons Emperor Lord was telling him all this today.

Even though I'm growing very fast, surely they wouldn't send me out to fight?

Was this all he was told? And what was Zuo Qiyu's purpose in coming here?

The Five Poisons Emperor Lord looked at Zhao Xing and said, "I've said all this because I want you to be one of the members of the team."

"Me?" Zhao Xing was taken aback. They really wanted me to go?

Old Master Zhao was quite self-aware; even including the Voidgrass Doppelganger, his overall combat strength was only enough to stand firmly at the threshold of the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm.

He might be able to fight against ordinary Life and Death Dao Domain Realm, but he wouldn't be able to beat anyone stronger than that, like the Ocean Guardian ' Lans '.

And Lans is not the strongest among those in the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm.

Could it be that the Five Poisons Emperor Lord is planning to let himself gain some seniority?

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Xing confirmed, "Master, with my limited skills, I'm only good enough for fighting in ordinary arenas."

Zhao Xing expressed his opinion: if it really comes to participating in a decisive arena, then it's better not to send me.

The Five Poisons Emperor Lord said, "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. I've already chosen your opponents."

Zhao Xing immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "In that case, I will follow Master's instructions."

Zuo Qiyu then added, "You will be fighting Du Yun."

Zhao Xing: "???"

The breath he had just relaxed was suddenly jolted back up, almost choking Old Master Zhao.

I'll hit Du Yun?

"Senior Zuo, did I hear that right? Du Yun from the Origin Heavenly Palace?"

"Yes, it's him." The Five Poisons Emperor Lord gripped Zhao Xing's shoulder tightly. "Are you scared?"

"No, it's just that I know Du Yun, so I'm not afraid—" Zhao Xing said with difficulty.

It's not a question of whether you're afraid or not, okay?

How do I fight?

What level is Du Yun? In the entire Xuanling Star Domain, he's a top-tier genius!

As early as the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom period, Du Yun was already a prefecture lord, and a prefecture lord with a very high status in the Purple God Mansion.

The exploration of the Illusory God Star System brought me many opportunities, as did Du Yun.

How did he repay his debt back then? Du Yun obtained 10 pieces of Source Origin Divine Weapon weapons as spoils of war, and only after taking one for himself did he satisfy Han Chuchen's request.

Not to mention, Du Yun had accumulated several thousand years of experience at the Grand Mystic Power Realm.

Back when the Time Cabin was there, all the Emperor Lord Realm who came there knew Du Yun.

How do I fight?

"That's good." The Five Poisons Emperor Lord patted Zhao Xing on the shoulder with a smile. "You're all at the Source Origin Realm; you should have the courage to take on the challenge!"

"Your senior, Zuo, is here to help you."

Without saying a word, Zuo Qiyu started taking things out.

Soon, at the location where the Five Poisons Emperor Lord was destroyed, valuable resources ten times the size appeared.

The treasure's mysterious light quickly blinded Zhao Xing.

"Holy crap, those are Great Void Spirit Coral? Fifteen of them were cut off?!"

"Seven-Colored Xu Zu Profound Crystal? Legend has it that it's the Source of Life that the Xu Zu transformed into during his third Reincarnation. It's so big, how many pieces would there be?"

"The Celestial Demon Spirit Gourd, a spirit gourd grown from the corpse of Heavenly Demon born in the Xu Zu Star System?"

"Emperor Grade Soul Tree? No, it's the Extreme Meaning Soul Tree Heart that grew in the Xu Zu Star System!"

"Annihilating Star Sand, Earth Core Blood Nucleus —... hiss, and seven pieces of Xu Zu Molting Bone— "

Seeing so many treasures, Zhao Xing was momentarily overwhelmed with emotion.

It's also because he's an expert and knows the value of these things very well.

It's too precious. Even if you sold the Lord Beihe, you still couldn't gather enough treasures to fill this treasure!

"Master, Senior Zuo, are all these... for me?" Zhao Xing's voice trembled slightly.

"Yes, are you happy?" The Five Poisons Emperor Lord chuckled.

"Hmph." Zuo Qiyu had a sour face.

He took most of the things inside.

Only he had the authority to get it.

Zuo Qiyu felt he must have lost his mind; how could he have agreed to such an outrageous request from the Five Poisons Emperor Lord?

Old Master Zhao was overjoyed.

His entire eye transformed into the shape of a treasure, sometimes Celestial Demon Spirit Gourd, sometimes an Earth Core Blood Nucleus —he was bursting with happiness!

Stop grinning like an idiot!

Unable to bear it any longer, Zuo Qiyu slapped Zhao Xing and Five Poisons, sending them flying to the vicinity of the material planet.

"Get to work right now."

"Five Poisons, if Zhao Xing wastes even half a portion of the materials, you two might as well be reincarnated!"

For five years, a full five years, Zhao Xing was forced to work under Zuo Qiyu's control within the Internal World.

The materials used to create the Voidgrass Doppelganger are too high-end; he must go all out and invest a great deal of his energy and spirit.

However, this was the first time he had ever enjoyed working so much.

Even five years later, when the uneven, material planet had transformed into a Voidgrass Doppelganger, he still felt like he was dreaming.

At this moment, Zhao Xing's soul was inside the head of the Voidgrass Doppelganger, within the heart of a section of the Ultimate Soul Tree.

The Five Poisons Emperor Lord and Zuo Qiyu stood in his ear.

"Are you done yet, disciple?" The Five Poisons Emperor Lord tapped Zhao Xing's earlobe. "You'd better get the Voidgrass Doppelganger moving, or this old guy might really kill you!"

"Master, you can rest assured!" Zhao Xing replied with absolute confidence, "You'll be satisfied!"

Zhao Xing suddenly opened his eyes, and the Grand Void Giant opened his eyes at the same time.

"Dry moat!"

A syllable came from the mouth of the Grand Void Giant.

The Great Way is silent!

Neither Zuo Qiyu nor the Five Poisons Emperor Lord heard a sound, but they felt as if they were seeing a scene, as if a giant was born in the chaotic era and let out a roar that Creation of Heaven and Earth.

"Metaphor~"

The green leaf that the Five Poisons Emperor Lord was attached to in the Locust Willow Courtyard was instantly shattered, and the projection had to land on the ground.

But the earth was soon shattered.

The mere aftershock of the leak pierced through the entire surface of Coral City and struck the green leaves of the Primordial Divine Tree.

"Um?"

Emperor Hongshan was walking in Coral City when he suddenly seemed to sense something, looked down at the ground, and seemed to be deep in thought.

"It seemed to have come from Locust Willow Courtyard, but it was fleeting."

"I don't know what happened."

Emperor Hongshan immediately flew towards Locust Willow Courtyard.

The leak was minimal, and the large crater in the ground was quickly repaired automatically.

Apart from people like Emperor Hongshan, who are very sensitive to the fluctuations of the Earth Vein, no one else noticed it.

Inside the Five Poisons Emperor Lord's Internal World.

"Okay, stop calling."

The Five Poisons Emperor Lord hurriedly manipulated the Great Dao within his Internal World to seal off the area around the Voidgrass Doppelganger, then looked at Zuo Qiyu: "Envoy Zuo, how is it? Are you satisfied?"

Even the Five Poisons Emperor Lord were unaware of the extraordinary abilities of the Voidgrass Doppelganger; those who had not cultivated it could not comprehend its mysteries.

As for the true nature of Zhao Xing's Voidgrass Doppelganger, we'll have to ask Zuo Qiyu.

Zuo Qiyu's gaze seemed to freeze for a moment before he replied, "It's alright."

The Five Poisons Emperor Lord grinned.

Zuo Qiyu said is acceptable, then it's quite excellent!

If Zhao Xing had been even slightly less capable, Zuo Qiyu would have been cursing him out in the current situation!

"The Left Envoy has a grand vision," the Five Poisons Emperor Lord said with a smile. "That's why I say you are the Primordial Beginning Envoy."

"Get lost!" Zuo Qiyu replied irritably, then disappeared directly into the Five Poisons ' Internal World.

Five Poisons was acting innocent after getting the benefit; if he waited any longer, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist hitting someone.

When Zuo Qiyu left, he happened to run into Emperor Hongshan.

"Messenger, something has happened—"

Before he could finish speaking, Zuo Qiyu disappeared.

"Strange, what's wrong with Zuo Qiyu?"

In that instant, Emperor Hongshan sensed a sudden change in Zuo Qiyu's emotions.

There was joy and anticipation, but also sorrow and melancholy.

"People True Self Faction are really complicated."

Emperor Hongshan shook his head.

He didn't think much of it. Masters usually don't let others grasp their true state of mind or emotional fluctuations.

Zuo Qiyu's complicated emotions, it was clear that he had something on his mind, and Emperor Hongshan felt it was best not to ask too many questions.

When the Five Poisons Emperor Lord and Zhao Xing came out.

A figure emerged from the soil in the Locust Willow Courtyard.

Upon seeing this, the Five Poisons Emperor Lord flew into a rage. "Hong Shan bastard, are you Earth Listening Art to eavesdrop?"

"I hate people like you who eavesdrop, take this!"

Zhao Xing watched as a dark light emerged from Five Poisons's sleeve, and he was speechless.

He was completely unable to predict the next move of the Five Poisons Emperor Lord.

Emperor Hongshan clearly just arrived!

"Brother Dao, please calm down. I did not eavesdrop." Emperor Hongshan was struck by the accompanying poisonous vine, but he turned into scattered sand, and his true form appeared in another direction.

Emperor Hongshan was truly good-natured, remaining as amiable as ever, which even Zhao Xing found hard to bear.

"Master, Emperor Hongshan is known for his good character; he would never do something like eavesdropping."

The Five Poisons Emperor Lord calmly transmitted his voice. "Of course I know, but if I don't appear a bit difficult, Hong Shan Lao might not be willing to genuinely teach you. Just listen from the side and don't say anything."

Zhao Xing was stunned for a moment, then stood still.

They exchanged two or three blows and then quickly stopped.

The Five Poisons Emperor Lord said impatiently, "Emperor Hongshan, your Ancient Hill of Antiquity has rules. If you want to receive Zhao Xing, fine, I'll give you face."

"However, Zhao Xing is my disciple. If you wish to pass on your teachings, then you must do so properly."

"Don't set him up in a limbo, it will only distract my student. He doesn't necessarily want to learn it."

Emperor Hongshan cupped his hands and said, "I will do my best."

"Not just try my best, I'll definitely do it!" The Five Poisons Emperor Lord said with a villainous air, "I'll give you a maximum of fifty years."

"If he only learns half of it when the time comes, I will cripple his Earthly Advantage Faction School techniques and then spread the word that you ruined my disciple."

"At that time, your reputation and that of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity were not good either."

Emperor Hongshan smiled wryly and said, "As you say, it will be fifty years."

Seeing that Emperor Hongshan had agreed, Five Poisons Emperor Lord returned the greeting respectfully. Then, following the custom, he took out an exchange jade talisman and tossed it to Emperor Hongshan.

If any disciples of Emperor Hongshan wish to learn the Way of the True Self in the future, they can use this token to find Five Poisons Emperor Lord.

The Locust Willow Courtyard quickly quieted down, leaving only Emperor Hongshan and Zhao Xing.

The two exchanged a glance, Zhao Xing cupped his hands and said, "Junior Zhao Xing greets Emperor Hongshan."

Emperor Hongshan was kind-hearted, but not stupid. He could tell from Zhao Xing's way of greeting that he did not want to meet him as Emperor Tianning, or at least it was inconvenient for him to do so now.

So Emperor Hongshan, who originally had the idea of reminiscing, also put aside his thoughts and accepted Zhao Xing's bow in accordance with Zhao Xing's wishes.

Then, Emperor Hongshan drew a mysterious mountain pattern at his feet and chanted. "Hong Shan above, the Extreme Land as witness, Qiu Chongyue, the 158th generation mountain master of Hong Shan, in accordance with the ancient decree, guides the cultivators of the Extreme Land."

"Zhao Xing, you will become my disciple. I will dedicate myself to teaching and imparting the Dharma for fifty years."

As Emperor Hongshan's words fell to the ground, the soil condensed into a magical talisman, which flew toward Zhao Xing.

"With Hong Shan above and the Extreme Land as witness, your disciple Zhao Xing greets the Mountain Master. I will wholeheartedly study the Dao and practice the Dharma for fifty years."

Zhao Xing knelt down and bowed, then straightened up. The talisman landed on his forehead, forming a double-peaked mark. Thus, the process of being guided to the Ancient Hill of Antiquity was completed.

Zhao Xing obtained a Hongshan Mark, which contained the cultivation techniques and Daoist principles that the Emperor Hongshan wanted to impart.

Emperor Hongshan stepped forward and helped Zhao Xing up.

Then he slapped Zhao Xing on the mark on his forehead.

"Boom!"

Zhao Xing immediately sank into the ground.

During the sinking process, a large amount of Earth Vein power enveloped Zhao Xing, quickly forming an inverted mountain peak hidden deep underground.

Below the inverted mountain peak, another small palace appeared.

When Zhao Xing landed in it, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"This is the Demon God Earth Palace? Emperor Hongshan has such a unique skill? How come I didn't know?"

Surprisingly, when I checked the information about Emperor Hongshan in my previous life, I didn't find that he possessed this secret technique. Could it be that I didn't see all the information back then? Or has something changed in this life?

If it were a typical Earth Palace Art, Zhao Xing wouldn't be too surprised.

The secret technique of the Demon God Earth Palace can be used up to the Reincarnation Realm!

It is rumored that it was created to imprison and refine the twelve ancient demon gods!

It is one of the top-tier Earth Palace Art in Ancient Hill of Antiquity.

The Demon God Earth Palace is arguably the most lethal and strongest Earth Palace Art.

Zhao Xing was surprised that Emperor Hongshan, such a kind and gentle man, actually knew such a secret technique.

"Rumor has it that cultivating in the Demon God Earth Palace involves a lot of killing, it's really hard to make that connection—." Zhao Xing thought to himself. "It's not just a rumor." The mellow voice of Emperor Hongshan entered Zhao Xing's mind, "The best way to cultivate it is indeed to find a strong person to refine it."

"Long ago, I was also stained with blood, and the corpses of the creatures I slaughtered could fill an entire galaxy."

"When it comes to killing people, even ten Five Poisons Emperor Lord might not be as many as I have."

Zhao Xing:..

Emperor Hongshan, you actually have such a past? It's true, honest people are even more terrifying when they go mad!

"These are all old stories, and I won't dwell on them today, so I won't say any more."

"You should cultivate diligently."

As Emperor Hongshan finished speaking, the Demon God Earth Palace closed.

Zhao Xing also immersed himself in deep cultivation.

As time passed, the Primordial Beginning Realm gradually became lively.

As the cooperation among various forces was further improved, the duel between geniuses was quickly put on the agenda and became known to the public.

The true purpose of the duel was not publicized, and everyone regarded it as a normal exchange of Daoist arts.

However, this still aroused great interest among geniuses.

Many people ended their seclusion to join in the fun.

Even Yu Tianqing came to Jing Yan to inquire about the inside story.

"Jing Yan, have you heard that many geniuses have come from the Primordial Beginning Realm, including people from the Reincarnation Temple?"

"Of course I've heard about it." Jing Yan nodded. "The Primordial Dao Field has become much more lively recently. Many geniuses who went out have returned, such as You Beixuan, who is known as the number one Sword Sect in the Primordial Beginning Realm Dao Domain Realm."

"He was a Coral Ninth Order 20,000 years ago, and once killed twelve royal river demons outside the Meridian Pass."

He became famous overnight.

"I wonder who is stronger, him or Yellow Sand Mansion Lord," Yu Tianqing said. He and Jing Yan had both met Du Yun and felt that Du Yun was unfathomable.

Two or three thousand years have passed, Yu Tianqing has already reached the Yin Yang Dao Domain Realm, but he still finds Du Yun unfathomable.

"General You is indeed very strong. He and Du Yun should be about equal," Jing Yan pondered. "If they were both Qi Sect practitioners, it would be easier to compare them, but their paths are different. One is a Qi Sect practitioner and the other is a Sword Sect, so it's hard to say."

"That's true." Yu Tianqing nodded. "Legend has it that Du Yun cultivates the Void Ancestor Reincarnation Chapter, You Beixuan cultivates the Emperor Yu Sword Art. Both of these secret techniques were passed down from the Five Emperors period."

Both the Xu Zu and the Emperor Yu are among the Five Emperors. It's hard to say whose ultimate skill is stronger.

Qi Sect and the Sword Sect have had their share of dominance and the title of number one martial artist at different times.

"The fighting between martial artists is nothing to watch," Jing Yan said lazily. "Our Mechanism Master ' battles are much more refined. The Limitless Compass School, the Divine Luo Flow, the Thousand Mechanism Formation Style, the Twelve Wandering Deities —any of these styles is more interesting than a duel between martial artists."

"I'm Mech Martial Practitioner, and I still want to see the match between Du Yun and You Beixuan," Yu Tianqing said. "I just don't know when they'll have a match at the dojo."

"Just wait and see. This sudden Daoist conference is definitely not as simple as it seems," Jing Yan pondered. "I'm afraid some battles will involve certain interests, so it's unlikely they'll start so soon."

"I'd like to go see World Transfer Tower, do you want to come?"

"The World Transfer Tower?" Yu Tianqing shook his head. "I won't go. The World Transfer Tower of the Starry Sky Historian won't be of any training value to me."

"Damn it, you got tricked again." Jing Yan was indignant.

Now he also knows that Yu Tianqing possesses the Major Divine Ability "Eye of Insight". With this talent, Yu Tianqing is making rapid progress in all aspects.

He consistently ranks among the top ten in various rankings of Mechanism Master.

In comparison, his status as a prince, with only a little over a thousand men, seemed rather ordinary.

"I'm going to look for Zhao Xing. By the way, has he contacted you?"

"No," Yu Tianqing shook his head. "He should still be in seclusion."

"It's really hard to understand," Jing Yan shook his head and said, "How can he be so good at enduring loneliness?"

"Brother Zhao's mindset towards cultivation is something we should all learn from," Yu Tianqing remarked. "He has such a great reputation..."

Many people challenged and provoke him, yet he managed to resist going to the Primordial Dao Field to accept the challenge.

"The Primordial Six Saint Sons were not as famous as he was back then when he was a nobody. Brother Zhao's experience is truly unfathomable."

In Coral City, on the ground of Locust Willow Courtyard, hills rise from the ground, as if something is breaking through the soil.

Emperor Hongshan, who was meditating not far away, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Only forty-five years, and you're about to break through the barrier. How fast."

In the span of fifty years, Emperor Hongshan only had time to select key points to transmit the Dharma.

Zhao Xing received the first skill, called "Mustard Seed Mountain," which is the second level of the Extreme Continent Cultivation Method, also known as Extreme Land Mustard Seed Mountain.

The second method is called the Demon God Earth Palace.

According to Emperor Hongshan's prediction, Zhao Xing will find it difficult to even begin to grasp the basics within fifty years, but as long as he makes even a small contribution...

All of these greatly benefited him.

By utilizing the Earth Palace and the Extreme Land to broaden their origins, they will break through to the Dao Domain Realm in the future, and the magical power they generate will be many times stronger than that of ordinary geniuses.

"Emperor Tianning, who exactly are you?" Emperor Hongshan murmured to himself.

Even ordinary Reincarnation Realm may not have absolute certainty of reaching the Reincarnation Realm again after retraining, while only those at the Emperor Lord Level have absolute certainty.

Having undergone a second cultivation, one can see one's past cultivation experiences. Emperor Hongshan has seen countless people, but Emperor Tianning's experiences make it impossible for Emperor Hongshan to associate him with any particular person.

As he pondered, the rising hill suddenly stopped, then collapsed, as if he had failed to break through the barrier.

Emperor Hongshan looked up and saw a figure suddenly appear on the collapsed ground; it was Zhao Xing.

The fact that it didn't cause much of a commotion proves that Zhao Xing has truly mastered the basics.

Zhao Xing took a step, and the earth seemed to be supporting him as he walked, reaching Emperor Hongshan in a single stride. Yet, there was no trace of him moving.

"Xing, thank you for imparting the Dharma and teachings the Emperor’s Chronicle." Zhao Xing bowed deeply.

Emperor Hongshan glanced at Zhao Xing and saw that within his body, a Earth Palace Void Image floated, and a phantom of a demon god with only half a body stood in the Earth Palace.

Emperor Hongshan nodded slightly. "The Demon God Earth Palace has a total of twelve methods, each corresponding to one of the twelve ancient demon gods. The one I will teach you is the Xing Tian Earth Palace."

"However, I haven't received all the true teachings. If you're interested, you can come and visit Ancient Hill of Antiquity in the future."

"Definitely." Zhao Xing nodded.

Of course he had to go. The Ancient Hill of Antiquity was where several descendants of Ancient Demon God were imprisoned, all of whom were Demigod.

If you want to take the Earth Palace Art to the next level, you must go and observe it.

Emperor Hongshan probably passed on this technique to him hoping to meet him again and resolve their past doubts.

Now that you've learned it, my task can end ahead of schedule.

Until we meet again.

After Emperor Hongshan finished speaking, he vanished into the ground and left Coral City.

Zhao Xing bowed and saw them off.

Just as I straightened up, I saw a gust of wind blow into the Locust Willow Courtyard.

As the wind gathered, a girl with an oval face and wearing a yellow dress called out, "Junior Brother Zhao, have you finished your seclusion?"

A clear, crisp voice rang out, and Zhao Xing immediately recognized the person as Ai Miaomiao, one of the other two disciples of the Five Poisons Emperor Lord.

With a wave of his hand, the barrier opened, and Zhao Xing walked out.

"Senior Sister Ai, I have finished my seclusion."
