The Heretical Threefold World Mountain, the World Stabilizing Divine Needle Won't Stand?!
When Zhao Xing participated in the Primordial Convention, he received a lot of care from the Lord Beihe. His World Method was even taught by scholars Qiao Song and Yang Zhuo.
There are several other territories under the Demon Lord, which were also gifted by the Lord Beihe.
Favors owed must be repaid, especially since the Great Zhou's roots are in the Wuye Constellation of the Beihe Star System, which can be considered its second home.
"The Beihe Star System is my home, and the Beihe Legion is my own legion."
"Lord, please give your orders. As long as Zhao Xing can do it, we will do our best."
The Lord Beihe immediately sent over an unfamiliar star map.
"Qiao Song and Yang Zhuo's Pioneering Army is currently carrying out missions in the Langping Dao and Wangliang Star Sector of the Si Yue Desolate Territory. The military headquarters has ordered us to expand our base, but there are Demon Race forces in that area, and we are always attacked."
"I transferred the rest of the Beihe Legion to provide support. Once we pass the Shenchen Thirteenth Pass, there are only two routes to choose from."
"First, it flies through forty-six constellations, including Shilong, Jiyi Four, Yin Xiao Nine, and Gong Four."
"Secondly, we will use the eight star -Shadow-Shifting Starry Sky Ring Continent along the Sea Passage Ancient Road to teleport using a teleportation method."
"However, the Sea Passage Ancient Road is not accessible to ordinary people, so the Beihe Legion can only take the first route." The Lord Beihe said with some helplessness.
Zhao Xing consulted the star map and immediately understood the trouble the Lord Beihe had mentioned.
The first route is a direct flight by the Realm Boat. Since it is in the territory affected by the Desolate Territory, it is difficult to establish a star Teleportation Array on this route. Even if there is one, it is not something that the Beihe Legion can use.
Zhao Xing glanced at the list of people in charge along this route, including the World Transport Department, the Array Department, and the Dao Soldier Department, etc., most of whom came from the southern border of the empire. The various departments were not subordinate to each other.
If the Lord Beihe were to use it as a logistical transport line, there would be no other problems, except that it would be too slow.
This is a public line, and since it's for public use, it's naturally not very efficient.
Whether it's transporting supplies or mobilizing troops, it takes a long time. If something really happens, it will be at least fifteen years before they reach Langping Dao where Qiao Song and Yang Zhuo are located.
If you take the Sea Passage Ancient Road and use the large array around the land for teleportation, you can save a lot of time and arrive in just three months. It's definitely a high-end VIP route!
The main force responsible for the Sea Passage Ancient Road is the Ancient Hill of Antiquity, with Emperor Hongshan in charge, along with some Sea Trade Envoy like Zhao Xing who came from the Primordial Beginning Realm to assist them.
The Sea Passage Ancient Road is not available for use by individuals or organizations not on the list.
The Beihe Legion is not considered an "official army" under the unified command of the Empire; in this exploration mission, its nature is more like that of a "private army."
If there's no connection, Lord Beihe wants to pass through? Not a chance!
Lord Beihe leads his army on his own, but he is currently acting alone, exploring the [Blue Butterfly Dao], which can only be Reincarnation Realm.
That's why I came to Zhao Xing for help.
"I will take care of this immediately, please wait a moment, lord."
Seeing Zhao Xing agree so readily, Lord Beihe smiled and said, "Zhao Xing, thank you. I'll wait for your good news."
Zhao Xing agreed to the Lord Beihe's request so quickly mainly because he was a first-class Sea Trade Envoy, giving him room to maneuver.
He himself also had influence with Emperor Hongshan.
"If we don't allow passage to people or forces outside the list, then we can just add the Beihe Legion. Let the Beihe Legion do some work along the way, and this will make perfect sense."
"Perfect, I can also add the Great Zhou's exploration team and get some benefits," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
He first notified the people of Great Zhou, instructing Ji Che to prepare his troops and send them to the Beihe Legion. They would nominally belong to the Beihe Legion, but would not be subject to its command. He then conscripted the Beihe Legion into the list of auxiliary troops for the Sea Passage Ancient Road.
In this way, the problem of the Lord Beihe can be solved, and the Great Zhou can also benefit.
The only problem is that our own people haven't arrived yet, and the position of Sea Trade Envoy hasn't officially taken effect.
"We don't even need to trouble Emperor Hongshan with this matter; just find Yuan Qiusheng," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
There are many Sea Trade Envoy sent by the Primordial Beginning Realm along the Sea Passage Ancient Road, but they are of different ranks. Yuan Qiusheng is also a first-level Sea Trade Envoy, a support-type Agricultural Official of the Primordial True Self Faction, and holds a high position in the exploration of the Desolate Territory.
Yuan Qiusheng's teacher, "Emperor Bisui," was even in charge of the "Huiling" project along the Sea Passage Ancient Road. His main responsibility was to build a spiritual seed base along the Sea Passage Ancient Road Sea Passage Ancient Road to stabilize its spiritual environment. He and Emperor Hongshan were the two main leaders of this road.
One person was in charge of leading people to dig in front, and another person was in charge of leading people to plant in the back.
Originally, there should have been three people in charge, and one more combat-type powerhouse to manage the army. However, Emperor Hongshan himself was very strong, and the Ancient Hill of Antiquity did not like to have too many people involved in the project, so Emperor Hongshan took on the role concurrently.
After a flurry of snowflakes, the Star Mirror quickly revealed a scene: on the other side, Yuan Qiusheng was working in a colorful field.
"Qiusheng is busy right now."
"Just busywork." Yuan Qiusheng smiled broadly. "Chen'an, what about you? I heard you set off; you should still be on your way, right?"
"We've just passed the Triangulum Constellation of the Manya Star System; it'll be another three years before we arrive. Qiusheng, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with," Zhao Xing said, getting straight to the point.
After hearing this, Yuan Qiusheng agreed without hesitation, "It's no big deal. Just register it under my name. Perfect timing, I'm short-handed."
"You're still short-handed?" Zhao Xing asked, puzzled. "Didn't Emperor Bisui send anyone for you?"
"It's not enough," Yuan Qiusheng said, pointing to the fields behind him. "Look."
Zhao Xing glanced at the dense vegetation behind Yuan Qiusheng and couldn't help but wonder, "Why are there so many seedlings? I can't recognize most of them. Are they all Derived Seed?"
"No, they are Original Seed!" Yuan Qiusheng exclaimed excitedly. "Incredible, isn't it? I've only been here for seven years, and I've already discovered 320,000 unknown Original Seed. The Pioneering Army Pioneering Army (the army responsible for exploration) sends over many species every day. I'm so busy I can't keep up with them all."
"Look at this pale blue Thorn Family plant. It can actually make Demon Race aroused, but it has no effect on Human Race. Its effect is ten times that of ordinary aphrodisiacs!"
"And this sapling, it actually started splitting in its seedling stage. Do you think it would be suitable as material for Straw Man Art effigy spell?"
Look at it again—
When it comes to new plants, Yuan Qiusheng talks on and on, as if he could talk about them for years without getting tired.
Zhao Xing and Yuan Qiusheng discussed for several hours in the Star Mirror. Finally, Yuan Qiusheng received a mission and had to leave. He said with lingering enthusiasm, "Brother Zhao, hurry up! I've left you many native troop types; you'll definitely be interested!"
"Okay, I'll get there as soon as possible."
After shutting down the Star Mirror, Zhao Xing immediately relayed the message to Yang Lin, the Lord Beihe.
On the other side, upon receiving the news, Lord Beihe couldn't help but sigh, "The status of the Primordial Chapter number one genius is truly high."
I couldn't even say a word, but he did it effortlessly.
After shutting down the Star Mirror, Lord Beihe looked at the distorted spacetime passage in the distance and made up his mind. "I have to give it my all. My true spirit potential has been exhausted. If I don't fight this time, I definitely won't be able to survive the tribulations of the next life."
The Reincarnation Realm is subject to the Calamity World; the longer the calamity is delayed, the greater it becomes. The Calamity World is a major problem that many Reincarnation Realm must face, and the Lord Beihe is one of those lords who is not confident in surviving it.
In the following time, Zhao Xing studied the Reincarnation Secret Technique left by Qing Yuzi on the Realm Boat.
As the Soul Secret Technique of the Reincarnation Temple, the Great Reincarnation Divine Power ranks first in "Three Thousand Divine Powers".
According to Qing Yuzi, this method has a sequel; once Zhao Xing has mastered the * Great Reincarnation Divine Power *, he can seek him out again. "I don't know what Lao Qing means, actually passing on the Great Reincarnation Divine Power to me without my consent," Zhao Xing thought, pondering Qing Yuzi's intentions after finishing his daily meditation. "The Reincarnation Temple is divided into several factions, and the will of the higher-ups is divided. Are they going to recruit their own troops and fight each other?"
Zhao Xing could only conclude that Lao Qing felt he had performed well as a pawn in the last Dharma assembly incident, and therefore intended to continue using him.
"In any case, it's not a bad thing. It's always better to be in contact with a familiar Divine Realm than an unfamiliar one."
"If something unexpected happens and I die, Lao Qing can at least give me a few rounds of compensation."
Zhao Xing intensified his training plan for the Great Reincarnation Divine Power, followed by the Demon God Earth Palace, Five Finger Mountain, and the Primal Chaos World.
The Realm Boat swiftly traversed the empire's territory, and three years passed quickly.
[You have entered the Beicang System, coordinates: Solar Yang 14, Lunar Yin 14, Heavenly Gate 15.]
The coordinates appeared on the panel, and Zhao Xing also woke up from his cultivation.
At the same time, the spirit on the Wildcat reminded us, "Master, we are almost at the Shenchen Fourteenth Pass."
"Hmm." Zhao Xing walked to the porthole.
A Milky Way appeared in the sky ahead, with dense Realm Star and Ring Star Continent arranged in an orderly fashion.
All the Realm Star and Star Continent can not only provide a place for people to live, but also serve as the base for Magic Array.
The Milky Way stretches endlessly, forming a Great Wall of stars that seems to have no end.
"It's so beautiful," Zhao Xing asked.
"Your Emperor Lord Realm is right, it is beautiful," Thousand Illusion Tree echoed.
"Qianhuan, then tell me, where is Jiachen Pass Mei?"
"Well, this—" Thousand Illusion Tree couldn't answer for a moment. "Please enlighten me, Your Emperor Lord Realm."
Zhao Xing didn't make things difficult for Thousand Illusion Tree, explaining, "The Heavenly Stems Jia belongs to Yang Wood, and the Earthly Branch Chen belongs to Yang Earth. The Jia-Chen combination forms a Wood-Earth combination, which is used to resist the invasion of the Desolate Territory."
"According to the theory of the Earthly Advantage Faction, all Realm Star and Star Continent, even the Solar Yang Yin Star, were split off from the original [Extreme Land] in the universe."
"Therefore, the Earthly Advantage Method can be applied to the infinite universe."
"The spread of the Desolate Territory is the depletion of the starry sky and the Earth Vein. The design concept of Shenchen Pass is in line with the theory of the Earthly Advantage Faction."
"The large and small Starry Sky Fortress are based on the True Self Faction, the ' Treatise on Things,' which integrates the star gates and the void with the Ring Star Continent and many void plants."
"At Jiachen Pass, even the Void River has been completely cut off; there's no way you can sneak across."
"Such a vast and magnificent man-made pass is naturally breathtaking."
The Thousand Illusion Tree praised, "The Emperor Lord Realm has a discerning eye; even a few casual words from him can be enlightening."
"Get lost! Where did you learn to flatter like that?"
"Your Emperor Lord Realm, I'm innocent! These are the truth!"
Zhao Xing finally understood why emperors would favor their close advisors and listen to slander.
Even though I know Thousand Illusion Tree is just flattering me, I still find it pleasant to listen to.
The Jiachen Fourteenth Pass, Crystal Island.
Crystal Island is a beautiful scenic spot within Jiachen Pass. It was created by excavating a crystal vein from the Source Origin World.
The island's area is comparable to that of Realm Star, and it features a series of undulating Crystal Palace, each containing various Great Dao Origin.
The most dazzling palace is the one at the very center, a crystal palace that stretches for tens of thousands of kilometers.
Crystal Island is the Primordial Beginning Realm office of the Jiachen Fourteenth Pass of the Beicang System in the Primordial Realm.
"—? The Sea Trade Envoy of the Primordial Beginning Realm Sect is about to take office, and the higher-ups specifically instructed that the three of us should personally welcome him?"
"Damn it, how can this Zhao Xing have such a big mouth?"
Inside the grand hall stood a massive silver round table, beside which sat three imposing thrones, each occupied by a figure. The speaker was a man with demon horns, who was reviewing Zhao Xing's file.
"No one else has this kind of pomp and circumstance because they're not qualified!" A beautiful blonde woman with cat ears put down her scarlet wine glass.
"He was able to defeat Du Yun, who had already entered the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm, at the Source Origin Realm. He was also the disciple of the Gu Luo River, the strongest Demigod, and had the Emperor’s Chronicle, one of which was even a legendary ultimate skill—"
"My goodness, no wonder they wanted us to greet him personally. It turns out he's this year's Primordial Chapter Holy Son. This First-Class Sea Trade Envoy really does need to be greeted personally." Another Reincarnation Realm Lord with silver hair was fiddling with the Star Mirror.
He was shouting exaggeratedly:
"Look at all the titles he's been given! I flipped through several pages in the Star Mirror just to read them all; there are more titles than hairs on my body!"
"Lord Peng Ao, let's stop with the nonsense and quickly figure out how to receive him. Zhao Xing is also serving as the Three-Pass Treasury Office!"
"Niu Hong is right, we must take good care of him. The young man is hot-blooded and a peerless genius. If he suddenly decides to cause trouble for us, it will be difficult to handle," the blonde catwoman said solemnly.
There are always oversights in official business, and over thousands of years, many problems will accumulate. If you don't investigate, it won't affect the operation, but if you do investigate, all three of them will be in trouble.
"Hurry up and make a grand entrance. Zhao Xing has already passed Star-Moon Port and will arrive in just a few days."
"Clear!"
The three Reincarnation Realm quickly began making arrangements.
"Hmm? There are so few people and boats on the waterway." When Zhao Xing entered the area of Jiachen Fourteenth Pass of Jia Chen in his Realm Boat, he found that there were fewer Realm Boat and people on the waterway.
Using the detection equipment on the Wildcat, they discovered that there was no one on their passageway!
"Master, three days ago, Lord Peng Ao, Lord Niu Hong, and Lord Yin Er of the Jiachen Fourteenth Pass Chen issued a restriction order, clearing out all the other Realm Boat on your path," the artifact spirit reported.
"Did they clear the way for me and restrict my movement?" Zhao Xing asked with a strange look.
"Yes, they transmitted the message through the Boundless Magic Array, inviting the master to a banquet hosted by the three lords."
We'll welcome you to Crystal Island.
"Then let's speed up and get there quickly." Zhao Xing shook his head helplessly. "If we don't hurry, people will start gossiping about us."
How much traffic does Jiachen Pass see these days? Countless families need to cross the pass to handle urgent matters. If traffic restrictions and road clearings are imposed, making people wait anxiously, how much resentment will they feel?
"Yes, it's accelerating."
The three lords built a manor for Zhao Xing on Crystal Island because they discovered that Zhao Xing preferred manor-style buildings when he lived in Coral City.
They also summoned prominent officials and nobles from the Jiachen Fourteenth Pass to bolster the welcoming party.
The entire banquet was incredibly lavish, and because this place was close to the border, it was possible to capture many Demon Race girls.
Among the maids who served Zhao Xing food were many beautiful Demon Race women with graceful figures and stunning faces.
As for those who accompany them, their demeanor is even more refined. Zhao Xing checked the panel and saw that most of them were Dancer Master.
They are musicians, and their cultivation levels are quite high, already at the Dao Domain Realm. They can be described as having both talent and good looks.
"My three lords, your hospitality is so warm that I don't want to leave the pass." Zhao Xing was accompanied by beautiful women on both sides, listening to the music playing in the center of the hall.
"Haha, the special envoy has been cultivating for so long, it's only right that he relaxes a bit," Lord Peng Ao laughed.
"Yes, we've long heard of your reputation, Zhao Xing. You even defeated Du Yun. How can we not extend our hospitality?" Lord Yin Er smiled.
"Today's meeting reveals your true extraordinary nature." Niu Hong raised his wine cup and said, "Zhao Xing, from now on at Jiachen Pass..."
If there's anything I, Niu, can help you with, just let me know!
"No problem." Zhao Xing and the three lords clinked glasses and exchanged toasts. He understood everything they said.
As long as they don't do anything reckless, like suddenly investigating some official business, then everyone will be fine.
He had no conflict of interest with the three lords, so he wouldn't be so impulsive as to do something like that.
The Primordial Beginning Realm doesn't have any tasks for me, and they're very hospitable, so there's no need for meddling.
Seeing that Zhao Xing was easy to talk to, the atmosphere became even more harmonious. "Come, come, let me introduce you. This is Lord Buming. He is very famous in the Jiachen Fourteenth Pass Chen. Many people want to have their fortune told by him before leaving the pass."
A tall, thin man with silver runes all over his head stood up to offer a toast. His hair was tied up in a bun, like intertwined Karma Thread.
Zhao Xing's eyes lit up, and he quickly raised his glass in a toast, saying, "I have long admired Mr. Yuan's name. It is I who should be toasting you. Please forgive my rudeness."
Lord Buming asked with some surprise, "Oh? The Holy Son knows me?"
"Of course, sir, you helped your friend avert a lifetime of calamities with just three brocade pouches. With such a reputation, how could Xing not know?"
Lord Buming Yuan Xin was very surprised. Zhao Xing was cultivating in the Primordial Beginning Realm and was only six thousand years old. How could he know about him?
Yuan Xin used the Three Brocade Pouches to help people overcome a lifetime of tribulations, thus entering the Reincarnation Realm. This happened before the Desolate Territory Era.
Yuan Xin instinctively tried to calculate with her hands tucked into her sleeves, but it was all in vain. So she simply assumed that Zhao Xing was someone who admired her.
"I am quite interested in divination, and I would be grateful if you would be so kind as to teach me in the future."
"I wouldn't dare. If the Holy Son is interested in learning about the Dao of Destiny, he can come to the Sea Lake Manor to find me at any time." Yuan Xin finished her drink and sat down.
"Come, Zhao Xing, let me continue to introduce you. This is the Demon Race historian, Lord Liqing."
"So it's Lord Liqing! I've long admired your name! I've heard that Lord Liqing is very familiar with the history of the Demon Race in the Mesozoic Era, and can even summon ancient great demons! For someone like you to have cultivated to this level is truly awe-inspiring!"
"Haha, Holy Son, you flatter me."
"This is—"
"You're very polite."
With the three lords acting as intermediaries and introducing everyone, Zhao Xing realized that his trip hadn't been in vain.
There were many people at the banquet, all of whom he could remember by name from his previous life.
Old Master Zhao's old habit kicked in again. In this situation, it was easy to gain favor, so he also acted very enthusiastically.
Of course, those whose names I can't remember, I just give them a perfunctory answer.
As the banquet progressed, the conversation deepened.
Zhao Xing was the Sea Trade Envoy, so the topic easily shifted to the ancient Sea Passage Ancient Road.
"The Layered World Mountain on the Sea Passage Ancient Road is difficult to excavate. I heard that many people died there last year, and there were even strange phenomena reported, which were seen by many people in the Celestial Horse garrison outside the pass."
Zhao Xing looked at the person who spoke, and it was none other than the Fate Master Yuan Xin.
"Where did you hear this, sir? I have no idea about it."
"The authorities certainly won't broadcast anything supernatural," Yuan Xin said. "To avoid causing panic. I just happened to be at the Celestial Horse camp and saw some things—but never mind, I'd better not say anything more to avoid offending anyone."
"Lord Buming, there are only a few of us here. What is there that you can't say? Brother Zhao is the Sea Trade Envoy. You bring it up but don't go into details. Aren't you just making us keep in suspense?" Lord Peng Ao said with dissatisfaction.
They were now gathered in the small living room, with only a few people present. Seeing Zhao Xing's expectant expression, Yuan Xin began to chat more deeply. "Alright, then I'll just ramble on a bit. Holy Son, just take it as a joke. Once we leave this room, I won't say anything more."
"Please speak frankly, sir." Zhao Xing half-raised his wine cup and nodded slightly.
"About 178 years ago, I heard rumors that corpses and strange weapons were frequently unearthed at Layered World Mountain on the Sea Passage Ancient Road —suddenly going on a killing spree," Yuan Xin recounted.
"Some people say that while they were digging, a strange gas suddenly came out and poisoned a large number of people, and even doctors in the Reincarnation Realm couldn't save them in time."
"The most recent instance was three years ago, when a sudden rain of blood fell, accompanied by the remains of some kind of life—and then the people of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity stopped working, because they couldn't even keep their boundary-stabilizing Divine Soldier in place; each one they struck broke, or simply vanished."
Zhao Xing Xingyi.
The boundary-setting divine Divine Soldier of the Earthly Advantage Faction Shennong are equivalent to the "piles" used when laying a foundation. There are specific rules about where to put the piles and how deep.
If things go wrong, the Earth Vein could be destroyed, not only wasting all the work, but also triggering landslides that could shatter the surrounding void.
If that's the case, and they can't even put the foundation stakes in, then it's definitely time to stop construction.
"Some say that the Si Yue Desolate Territory is the burial ground of great figures from ancient times, Sea Passage Ancient Road is their final resting place. Now the Empire wants to open up the Desolate Territory, which will affect their slumber." Yuan Xin's voice was deep, and everyone present listened intently, so much so that you could hear a pin drop in the room.
"... Ah, I'm drunk, I really can't talk anymore." Suddenly, Yuan Xin stopped, pretended to be asleep, and wouldn't wake up no matter what she said.
Zhao Xing fell into deep thought. Was the Layered World Mountain really that strange? Could it be that the progress of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity was so fast?
Have they already dug to that spot?
