Opening World Mountain, a New Source Origin World Appears!
The Earth Core Rifting Soil, the Demon God Earth Palace, the Mystic Earth Star Escape, the Primordial Earth Treasury, the Yaoguang Earth Passage, and the Three Layered World Mountains.
These are the six great Earthly Advantage Institute Major Divine Ability of terrain that Zhao Xing cultivated over 352 years!
Among them, the "Three Layered World Mountains" is a self-created Mountain Art. Based on the "Wall Opening" technique, it created two Major Divine Ability: "Threefold Wall Opening" and "Mustard Seed Mountain Seal".
The Major Divine Ability are the Mountain Opening Method and the Mountain Sealing Spell. These further refine the Mountain Art among the Zhao's Eight Methods.
"Three Layered World Mountains" has both the ability to open up mountains Wall Breaker, and the effect of sealing off mountains and defining boundaries.
"Mystic Earth Star Escape" is an escape technique within the Mystic Earth Art, which allows one to travel from one Star Continent or Star Continent to another, representing a long-distance travel method.
It is very similar to the "Straw Man Leap" True Self Faction that Zhao Xing once learned, except that the spell's base point has become the ubiquitous planets and Star Continent in the universe.
"Earth Core Rifting Soil" is a method of Earth Splitting Art, except that it shatters the core of the Earth Vein, destroying planets or Star Continent from the inside.
When you use "Star Escape" to escape to another planet, immediately use "Earth Core" to prevent being tracked.
"Yaoguang Earth Passage" is a method of Earth Passage Art, which utilizes the light emitted by Realm Star and Star Continent to construct different information broadcasts.
"Demon God Earth Palace" is a method of trapping and killing, capable of refining Golden Body and even Realm Boat, mainly targeting high-intensity and high-toughness defensive measures.
"Primordial Earth Treasury" is an auxiliary method that artificially triggers "earth changes" to activate dead Earth Vein and even promote Earth Vein advancement, allowing dead Life-Bearing World Star and Star Continent to radiate new vitality!
"Metaphor~~~Meta~"
After Zhao Xing emerged from the ground, the Golden Light emanating from his body spread outwards in a unique rhythm.
Behind him appeared illusory Earth Vein, some as fierce as fire, some as cold as ice, and some as heavy as mountains—
However, the Golden Light and strange phenomena quickly subsided, revealing Zhao Xing's figure.
"Zhao Xing, how many of the two hundred Source Origin Golden Pill did you consume?" Emperor Lushan asked curiously.
The Golden Elixir prepared by the Origin Heavenly Palace for those at the Grand Mystic Power Realm is not something one can consume as many as one desires.
Its consumption threshold involves the gap between Dharma and Tao; the medicinal power of the Golden Elixir must be transformed by one's own learning in order to be absorbed.
Such a threshold means that mediocre people will not advance further after taking the Source Origin Golden Pill, but geniuses will be greatly empowered.
"187," Zhao Xing replied.
"187." A hint of shock flashed in Lushan Emperor Lord's eyes. He had eaten eighty-nine back then, which was already a record that was unparalleled in his time.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xing was able to dissolve 187 Source Origin Golden Pill!
"If you break through to the Dao Domain Realm, the vastness of your magical power will be unimaginable." Emperor Lushan was very much looking forward to it.
When Agricultural Official Universal Promotion from the Source Origin Realm to the Dao Domain Realm, his spells will combine with spiritual energy to transform into a higher level of magical power.
The strength of one's magical power directly determines the final effect of a spell. Those with abundant magical power can unleash devastating power even with the most rudimentary paper crane spell.
"I owe all my achievements to my Martial Uncle's careful guidance," Zhao Xing said, bowing to Lord Lushan.
Ancient Hill of Antiquity is very sincere, and Lord Lushan is truly dedicated to teaching.
"Hahaha." Whether flattery is pleasant to hear depends on who says it.
Lord Lushan knew that Zhao Xing was just being polite, but he was still very happy.
When the main body was talking with Lushan Emperor Lord at the Jiachen Fourteenth Pass, on the Taoyang Star Continent of the Sea Passage Ancient Road.
An official emerged from the soil and appeared outside the Locust Willow Courtyard where Zhao Xing's clone lived.
"Reporting to the Sea Trade Envoy, His Emperor Lord Realm has summoned officials and special envoys from various departments to the Hongshan Hall to discuss important matters."
"Knew."
Locust Willow Courtyard, Zhao Xing's clone went online and opened its eyes.
Someone outside is holding up a secret letter.
With a casual wave of his hand, the secret letter appeared in his palm.
After glancing at the contents, Zhao Xing's clone flew towards the Starry Sky Ring Continent, preparing to teleport to the First Base.
At the same time, the original body within the Shenchen Fourteenth Pass also finished its cultivation and set off for the Sea Passage Ancient Road.
"After 352 years, the Sea Passage Ancient Road has finally broken through the First Tier of the barrier of the Layered World Mountain."
"After breaking through the barrier of the boundary mountain, the void of the universe is no longer a thick layer of soil."
"A rain of spiritual energy appeared."
"The spiritual energy index has risen sharply, reaching over 100. At this level, it can already be called Spirit Domain. It can be said to be a fertile territory where one can survive without establishing a base."
"Emperor Hongshan said that this is very likely the 'New Spirit Domain ' predicted by the Imperial Heavenly Master." Zhao Xing recalled the contents of the secret letter.
However, he knew that the Sea Passage Ancient Road was far from being fully opened; it had only just passed through the Layered World Mountain area.
"The Desolate Territory is not entirely a monolithic, desolate place. There are still oases in the desert. The Pioneering Army has at most discovered a small-scale spiritual energy star region."
"I just don't know exactly where we've dug up." Zhao Xing reached into the Star Territory and began to expand and mark it according to his memory.
Because this is classified information, and transmitting it via Star Mirror could potentially lead to leaks, Emperor Hongshan did not provide specific star maps or descriptions of features as a precaution.
When Zhao Xing's clone arrived at the Hongshan Hall in the First Base via teleportation, he found that all those gathered were from the Ancient Hill of Antiquity, with only a few members of the Empire.
For example, Yuan Qiusheng, Emperor Bisui, and himself, a first-class Sea Trade Envoy.
Zhao Xing glanced at the list and immediately understood what it meant.
"Multi-party cooperation in exploring uncharted territories fosters close relationships during times of hardship, but when it comes to sharing wealth and prosperity, differing opinions inevitably arise."
"Emperor Hongshan thought he had discovered the spiritual energy territory mentioned in the prophecy, so he immediately guarded the boundary mountain passage and planned to send his own people over to take a look first."
People like Gu Ming, the chief of the Profound Mystery Division Taoyang Star Continent, and Zhou Ze Bi Gang of the Martial Office, did not receive any notification whatsoever.
Because they were sent by the Origin Heavenly Palace and the Ancient Kingdom Alliance.
"Gentlemen, just the day before yesterday, the Earth Passage Division breached the last boundary mountain."
"A spiritual energy domain has appeared ahead. A large amount of spiritual energy rain fills the void. The area is very large, and the further we go, the higher the spiritual energy index becomes."
At the start of the meeting, Emperor Hongshan went straight to the point.
"The unknown territories are full of endless dangers, so the passage to the First Boundary Mountain must be closed for the time being, and news of it must also be strictly blocked."
"I plan to form an advance team to conduct a small-scale exploration of this star region, and only after we have a full understanding of it will we make it public."
Emperor Hongshan's words made sense, but everyone knew that this arrangement was meant to allow their own people to reap the benefits first.
"Zhao Xing, what are your thoughts?" Emperor Hongshan asked, noticing that Zhao Xing was looking down at the star chart.
He proactively raised the question, hoping to provide Zhao Xing with a direction for exploration.
It is known that according to the prophecy of the Imperial Heavenly Master, once the ancient road is opened, there will be many benefits.
Undeveloped star regions are where many rare and precious materials are born, some of which are even unique!
"Your Emperor Lord Realm, I have no particular thoughts; I will follow your arrangements." Zhao Xing raised his head.
This answer surprised Emperor Hongshan, who didn't believe Zhao Xing couldn't understand his words.
Such a response suggests a lack of interest in exploration.
And that is indeed the case.
After Zhao Xing arrived at the Hongshan Hall and obtained complete information, he confirmed that the Sea Passage Ancient Road had advanced to the vicinity of the Spirit Void Realm!
There are indeed advantages, because the Spirit Void Realm is a Source Origin World!
But the dangers are also considerable.
For example, the rain of spiritual energy that is currently falling is not simple.
There are still many obstacles to overcome before he can successfully enter the Spirit Void Realm. He is currently at the Source Origin Realm, and going there would be quite dangerous.
Even if only Grand Void Clone is sent out, its demise won't harm the main body, but there's only one ultimate-level Grand Void Clone. Once it's gone, it'll be very difficult to gather the materials for a second one.
Zhao Xing was also reluctant, so he decided to wait for the first group of people to clear the obstacles first.
The "spoils distribution meeting" ended quickly, and all eight Reincarnation Realm, including Tao Yangzi, Emperor Bisui, and Lord Jishan, were assigned exploration missions.
Zhao Xing wanted to leave, but Emperor Hongshan did not let him go easily.
After the meeting, he called Zhao Xing to a private space.
"Emperor Tianning, this is inside the core of a high-level desolate star."
Our conversation will remain a secret from everyone.
"Now that a new Spirit Domain has appeared, are you sure you don't want to explore the ' Grain Rain Star Region '?"
Grain Rain Star Region is the name given by Emperor Hongshan to a part of the new Spirit Domain, and it is not far from the First Layered World Mountain.
"I'd like to, but not now," Zhao Xing readily agreed. "My strength is still very weak right now."
Even when acting alongside the Reincarnation Realm.
"It's dangerous to explore in the rain of spiritual energy."
"Oh?" Emperor Hongshan didn't sense anything unusual about the rain, but Zhao Xing's words made him take it seriously. "Please enlighten me Emperor Tianning."
Zhao Xing pondered for a moment, then threw out the Star Mirror.
The light projected from the mirror, and the scene around the two of them changed instantly, revealing the First Boundary Mountain and the Grain Rain Star Region.
"Splash~~"
Raindrops fell from the void ahead, a torrential downpour began, and wisps of mist were born. The two stood on the Layered World Mountain, observing this live broadcast of the spiritual rain.
"The universe has four major seasons, which is the foundation of the theory of the celestial universe," Zhao Xing said. "This star region is currently experiencing a spiritual rain. If a Celestial Minister were here, sensing different star regions using the solar terms, they would be able to determine the rain's intensity."
It originates from the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, not from Grain Rain.
"Does Emperor Hongshan know what it means when a star sector does not follow the cycle of the four seasons?"
Emperor Hongshan blurted out instinctively, "The Celestial Timing Marquis Transformation?"
Zhao Xing nodded. "Yes, this is precisely a sign of Hou Transformation, and it is highly likely to happen."
Emperor Hongshan frowned and said, "During the meeting just now, there was a Lord Wenping to your left. He is the Minister of Agriculture of the Heavenly Time faction who revised the solar terms decree."
"Lord Wenping judges that this star sector is currently in the [Great Grain Rain] solar term, and it will last for a long time."
Zhao Xing pointed to a certain area and zoomed in. "The area he went to was indeed during Grain Rain. It can't be said that his judgment was wrong, but it wasn't comprehensive enough."
"I think he probably didn't observe the Sun Star in that region; he just drew that conclusion based on his internal sense of the Solar Terms Decree."
Emperor Hongshan countered, "You didn't even go, so how did you know?"
Zhao Xing said calmly, "It's simple, because my method is stronger than his."
"When the First Boundary Mountain was opened up and the boundary mountain was no longer a barrier, I sensed it immediately. Moreover, you sealed the passage a little late, and the Heaven's Energy had already drifted over along the boundary mountain passage."
A hint of shock flashed through Emperor Hongshan's mind. "The First Base is so far away from the passage, yet he can sense it so comprehensively."
Despite his shock, Emperor Hongshan did not question it.
Because in his mind, Emperor Tianning's background was with the Time Faction.
Otherwise, how could he be playing with Qing Yuzi? You should know that he condensed the Storm Divine Rune on the altar at that time, so his faction is easy to determine.
However, it is too difficult to carve out a path to survival in the Desolate Territory!
Just as the Layered World Mountain was being cleared, a large-scale Hou Transformation occurred.
Fortunately, this wasn't a problem that troubled the geomancers. Emperor Hongshan was already considering which officials from the Heavenly Timing faction should be summoned to handle the issue.
Zhao Xing did not disturb Emperor Hongshan's thoughts any further and quietly withdrew.
The Hou Transformation caused by the Grain Rain term are Hong Shan Lao's problem, not his concern.
Speaking out about the problem is also a way of repaying a debt of gratitude, preventing the Ancient Hill of Antiquity from suffering further losses in this exploration.
Zhao Xing had also heard about the contents of the Primordial Council. Lord Lushan of Ancient Hill of Antiquity had just finished being questioned by many parties. If it happened again, Ancient Hill of Antiquity would be in a very difficult situation, which was not something Zhao Xing wanted to see.
[Access permission granted, permission verification in progress]
[Confirmed to be a Coral Ninth Order!]
[The Starfire Intelligence Repository is now open; you can browse encrypted files without leaving your private records.]
The Star Mirror displayed a firework, which was reflected in Zhao Xing's eyes. After confirming his identity, the firework burst into flames, forming a world of fire.
Zhao Xing's thoughts also appeared in the world of flames.
At this moment, burning books kept floating in from the world of flames; this was the encrypted archive of the Starfire Department.
It will update non-public information in real time.
"Check the development progress of the Annihilating Star Corridor Road, as well as the participating forces and key members." Zhao Xing's thoughts rippled.
"Poof~" Flames suddenly rose up to the height of two people, and a large pile of letters appeared in front of Zhao Xing.
"The development of the Annihilating Star Corridor is just a small-scale project; its progress is practically zero. It has only expanded 7 kilometers into the Desolate Territory."
One astronomical unit.
"Among the participating forces is the foreign vassal dynasty ' Rainbow Moon,' whose main members are the scholar Earl Xihe, Lord Fuwei, and the Starry Sky Historian Beins."
"The domestic forces involved are mainly controlled by branches of the Carlos Family."
Zhao Xing also holds Official Rank at the Annihilating Star Ancient Road, so it's normal for him to pay attention to it, because if the Annihilating Star Ancient Road is opened up, the benefits will be even greater than those of the Sea Passage Ancient Road.
Firstly, the route is shorter and has a large flow of people, which later made it the most prosperous starry sky ancient road, with strong commercial value.
Secondly, the number of treasure lands discovered during the opening process should exceed that of the Sea Passage Ancient Road.
"Once the other seven top-tier ancient trails are opened up, I might make a small fortune, but once they're open, it won't concern me anymore."
,
"The Annihilating Star Ancient Road, on the other hand, could still get involved," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
When the major powers reached an agreement, they already distributed the potential profits along the seven top-tier ancient paths, which was something that individuals simply could not participate in.
However, there are ultimately nine top-tier ancient trails, and on the other two, Zhao Xing has a good chance of obtaining valuable operating rights or territorial rights.
"I don't know how the Great Zhou is developing. Managing the territory is too much for me to handle alone.
Zhao Xing contacted Ji Che through the Star Mirror.
"Elder brother." Ji Che's face was flushed. The background shown in the mirror seemed to be at a banquet.
"Fifth brother, where are you?"
"Brother, I'm a guest at the Black Dragon Lord's place in the Jia Chen Eleventh Pass," Ji Che said.
"How did you end up there?"
Ji Che apologized to the people around him, then flew to a secluded garden and disappeared underground.
"Brother, you've forgotten. You gave me a list and told me to befriend these people," Ji Che explained. "I'm not doing this for pleasure."
Zhao Xing suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten about this.
For Ji Che's Dynasty of Fate system to develop, it also needs people, money (Qi Yun Ancient Coins), and territory, and the more the better.
The Great Zhou obtained a treasure of destiny from the Five Emperors Era and followed the development path of the unified dynasties of the Five Emperors Era.
Zhao Xing gave Ji Che a list of some promising future talents that he knew well, and asked him to get to know them.
"Liu Tianning and Luo are still developing in the Wangliang Star Sector of the Langping Ancient Road, while I am making connections in Guannei."
"Thanks to my elder brother's reputation, over the past few hundred years, I have even managed to recruit two people at the Reincarnation Realm to serve as officials in the imperial court."
"However, their strength is average, and their true spirits have not yet passed the danger period and are about to reach their end." Ji Che said, "I have visited Yuan Xin, the official I was recommended by my Fate Officials, and Lord Liqing, the Historical Scholar, several times, but they did not think much of me. They only met once, and after hearing that I invited them to join, they never saw me again."
Ji Che felt a little regretful. If he could recruit powerful Reincarnation Realm experts like Yuan Xin and Lord Liqing, who were in their prime, to the court and bind them to the Great Zhou's destiny, then there would be a qualitative leap.
Unfortunately, they didn't pay any attention to Ji Che.
Although the Great Zhou produced a Zhao Xing, his strength was far too weak. Even the Lord of the Kingdom Ji Che was only at the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm. How could they expect him to serve them?
They refused even the lightest form of binding, because it would involve karma, and they might not benefit from it, but instead be implicated by the fluctuations in the Great Zhou's fortune.
"Fifth Brother, don't rush, take your time," Zhao Xing comforted him. "The Great Zhou has developed very rapidly over the past few hundred years."
Indeed, very quickly, as the Beihe Legion expanded into the Wangliang Star Sector of Lang Ping Road, the Beihe Legion ate meat, and the Great Zhou also had soup to drink.
With its overall strength growing rapidly, Zhao Xing was able to sense the rising national fortune of the Great Zhou through the connection between cause and effect and destiny.
"Haha, that's fast indeed, elder brother. I can now condense another Luck Golden Pill. I specially saved one for you."
You can come and pick it up when you have time.
"Oh? Another one in less than four hundred years?" Zhao Xing was genuinely interested.
The Golden Core condensed by the Great Zhou with the help of the Qi Luck Treasure can increase Qi Luck by three levels or enter the next realm.
This is more valuable than a single Five Emperors Coins.
The last one was given to Liu Tianning, which enabled Liu Tianning to break through to the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm.
Now they've managed to get another one.
"Alright, my true form just set off from the Jiachen Fourteenth Pass, so I'll stop by your place on the way," Zhao Xing said.
Name: Zhao Xing
[Realm: Grand Mystic Power Realm]
Occupation: Agricultural Official
[Dojo: Ninth Order of the Solar Yang]
[Soul: Yin Yang Dao Domain Realm]
[Fortune: Derivation Thirteen (Five Emperors Coins + Tier Two)]
Age: 6814
[Remaining lifespan: 2.9 epochs]
Three months later, the original body, carrying the Voidgrass Doppelganger, retrieved the Luck Golden Pill and arrived at the Sea Passage Ancient Land.
At this moment, Zhao Xing did not immediately take the Luck Golden Pill, because there is a rule in the Great Way of Luck: when Qi Luck is climbing in rank, there will be a clear "auspicious sign" in a short period of time.
He doesn't plan to leave the base to explore right now, so there's no need to use it now.
An inappropriate setting might diminish the effect of the "auspicious omen," and staying at the First Base doesn't mean that good fortune will fall from the sky.
"The current direction for improvement is twofold: first, to learn the Origin Dao and techniques of the Time Faction; and second, to improve one's soul level," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
"The Time Faction does not possess treasures like the Source Origin Golden Pill. In the entire Xuanling Star Domain, the Time Faction does not have any super power; it only has five top-tier powers, making it a level weaker."
In the cosmic version, both the Earthly Advantage Faction and the True Self Faction have super powers, but the Time Faction is weaker.
Qingyuzi is considered the Minister of Agriculture of the Heavenly Timing Faction, but he is also a member of the Samsara Temple. The Samsara Temple is not a purely Heavenly Timing Faction force and does not possess any particularly valuable lands.
Lao Qing has already become a god, so it's not impossible for him to learn the secret techniques of the Time Faction. However, learning secret techniques is a minor matter, especially since he has already given him a secret technique from the Divine Temple called "Reincarnation," so it's not appropriate to bother him.
"I'll have to find an opportunity to make contact with the five top-tier Heavenly Timing forces another day. I'll secretly master the ' Reincarnation ' technique first."
"Zhao Xing thought to himself.
It must be practiced secretly, because this Soul Secret Technique was given to us privately by Qing Yuzi.
It is not publicly granted by the Reincarnation Temple. According to the Divine Temple's rules, only senior members of the Divine Temple can learn the secret method of "Reincarnation".
"By the Qing Yu Divine Lord, this disciple is about to begin practicing the art of the soul; Invoking the Gods grant me your protection." Zhao Xing found a secret room.
After setting up the magic Magic Array, they brought out the statue of Qing Yuzi and lit incense.
Although the Way of Sacrifice has declined, Zhao Xing is directly connected to the Divine Realm, so such prayers can receive direct feedback.
A bluish mist quickly appeared in the room, surrounding it and forming a unique bluish space.
Seeing that his prayers had been answered, Zhao Xing couldn't help but smile to himself, "I'm practically a saintly Agricultural Official, and the kind who grants every request."
Saint Agricultural Official is a special branch of professions, such as the Mech Martial Practitioner and Soul Mechanism Master under the Mechanism Master branch.
The Holy Minister of Agriculture is generally based on the Minister of Agriculture of the Heavenly Time, and supplements it with the way of sacrifice.
The main theme is borrowing the power of the gods to Heavenly Traversal.
The Earthly Advantage Faction don't use this approach, while the True Self Faction simply don't have any divine intervention to rely on.
"Borrowing the east wind on the south bank of the Nether River, the east wind brings rain, ending all evil." This refers to the time of the Emperor Yu Five Emperors Era, when a certain Holy Agricultural Official borrowed Time God Power to wipe out a million demon kings in one fell swoop.
However, with the end of the Five Emperors Era, the Way of Sacrifice gradually declined, and miracles ceased to appear, so this practice naturally declined.
In the post- Five Emperors Era, although the objects of prayer in sacrifices were still certain gods, the power brought about by Heavenly God was what was fulfilled.
Around the time of the Desolate Territory Era, the power of the treasures used by the Divine Realm had been almost completely exhausted. Therefore, even without the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom incident, the Priest profession was destined to be Shuidao.
Seeing that his prayers had been answered, Zhao Xing began to cultivate the Soul Secret Technique, "Reincarnation."
"The advanced method of the Three Gods Fate Palace requires the Three Souls of Heaven, Earth, and Man to be united as one."
"The Fate Soul and Earth Soul are in harmony; the difficulty lies with the Heavenly Soul."
The Fate Soul is also called the Karma Soul, while the Heavenly Soul is called the Rebirth Soul.
The cultivation of the Heavenly Soul involves the mysteries of the true spirit's Reincarnation.
It is extremely difficult to master the secret techniques of "Reincarnation" outside of the Reincarnation Realm.
"As long as the souls of man and earth unite, it is at the level of Major Divine Ability, and the soul will inevitably enter the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm."
"Let's learn the first half first," Zhao Xing set a small goal.
Within the Sea of Consciousness, the Fate Soul and the Karma Soul began to separate, and then collided violently.
The first attempt at fusion has begun.
As time went by, the news that the First Boundary Mountain of the Sea Passage Ancient Road had been opened was made public fifty years later.
The discovery of the Grain Rain Star Region greatly excited all members of the Desolate Territory exploration team.
In particular, that massive rain of spiritual energy was believed to be nurturing some kind of rare and precious treasure.
During these fifty years of exploration, the first few pioneer teams did indeed achieve considerable success.
Rumors continue to emerge:
"Someone discovered a Life-Bearing World Star. The indigenous life forms there have a unique bloodline and possess extremely high medicinal value. It's said they sold it for 25 Five Emperors Coins! And they even received 300 million merit points!"
"Grain Rain Stone, a precious Grain Rain Stone! The Empire is offering a million for each one for recycling? My god, what's the use of this thing? I can't understand it."
"Brother, you're just an ordinary member, only at the Five Elements Dao Domain Realm. How could you possibly see the treasure vault's secrets? The Grain Rain Stone can enhance the Agricultural Official's Internal World; its effect is a hundred times better than the Five Elements Stone and Yin Yang Stone!"
"It is said to be a type of World Stone World Stone, and a newly included variety. Its rarity makes it valuable, hence the high price! However, private transactions are prohibited."
"I have a friend who participated in the exploration mission in the Pioneering Army of the Sea Passage Ancient Road. It's said that he didn't do anything, yet he was assigned a main material for forging a low-grade Source Origin Divine Weapon!"
"What? Such a good thing? You must be kidding!"
"Real!"
The constant stream of rumors ignited the passion of those exploring the forces.
The progress of opening up the other ancient roads has accelerated considerably.
After the Ancient Hill of Antiquity opened up the Layered World Mountain, they discovered their first source of income, surpassing the development progress of other ancient paths. They finally turned the tide and became much more assertive among the super powers.
"Emperor Hongshan, why did you wait fifty years to report?"
"When exploring the Desolate Territory, the first priority is to eliminate dangers, then we can discuss benefits. Your Lord Tianyou, the Sea Passage Ancient Road is mine, and I believe it should be done this way. Do you have any objections?"
"No, no, you did the right thing." The Lord Tianyou dared not ask any more questions. Hong Shan Lao had now made a contribution and was very arrogant. Besides, he was in charge of the personnel arrangements of Sea Passage Ancient Road.
If Emperor Hongshan were to postpone the exploration teams of the Ancient Kingdom Alliance, then his people would only be able to eat the leftovers. "Emperor Hongshan, what exactly have you discovered in these fifty years of exploration?" Emperor Tianwu asked.
"A Source Origin World," said Emperor Hongshan. "I call it the Spirit Void Source Origin Realm."
At the Origin Council, everyone fell silent.
A new Source Origin World!
Its value is immeasurable. They've been digging for so long and invested so many resources, and now they finally see some hope of recouping their costs!
According to the original agreement, if a Source Origin World appears on any ancient path, all parties can send people to explore it, the only difference being the number of people.
"Lord Hongshan, how many years has the Spirit Void Source Origin Realm been in existence?" Yuan Ding Emperor asked with concern.
"Combining the conclusions of Starry Sky Historian with my Ancient Hill of Antiquity's assessment of the Earth Vein Era, the Spirit Void Source Origin Realm was only born 11..."
"Until 1.5 billion years."
So short?!
A hint of surprise flashed in everyone's eyes.
The younger the age of the Source Origin World, the better!
According to the theory of the True Self Faction, the universe has four stages: the Primordial Chapter, the origin, the phenomenal, and the Annihilation Chapter, each with its own unique characteristics.
Among them, the Primordial Chapter is only a legendary period, the myriad phenomena are the most common in the present and last the longest, the Annihilation Stage lasts longer than the Primordial Beginning Stage but shorter than the square phenomena and Origin Stage.
The younger the Source Origin World, the more abundant its spirituality and the more treasures it contains. It is the closest to the Primordial Beginning Stage of the creation of heaven and earth, and the treasures born there are also powerful enough.
Typically, after more than 5 billion years, the Source Origin World will transition to the Myriad Phenomena Stage. At that time, although the types of life will become incredibly diverse, the overall quality will decline, and it will no longer be able to produce extremely powerful individuals.
The Spirit Void Source Origin Realm has only existed for 1.1 billion to 1.5 billion years, so it is certainly considered young!
"Unfortunately, it's not within 1 billion years," Zuo Qiyu with some regret.
In the Source Origin World within 1 billion years, there is a very small chance of giving birth to god-level materials.
Beyond this period, the chances of divine objects being born become very small, and their origins will dissipate over time, returning to the world as the driving force for the evolution of Myriad Phenomena Stage.
"1.1 billion years, that's very close," said the Five Poisons Emperor Lord. "Maybe Hong Shan Lao has misjudged. It's not the first time he's made a mistake; last time he was trapped in the mountains."
Emperor Hongshan:
"..."
Only the Five Poisons dare to expose the shortcomings of Emperor Hongshan like this; if it were anyone else, Emperor Hongshan would have to give them a piece of his mind.
"Brother Wuxing, let's not bring up the past anymore," Yuan Ding Emperor stepped in to smooth things over. "Let's determine the number of explorers as soon as possible."
The Five Poisons Emperor Lord nodded. "According to the intelligence obtained by Hong Shan, the Empire has decided that the total number of people exploring the Spirit Void Source Origin Realm this time will be one million, and shall not exceed the Dao Domain Realm."
"Agreed." Emperor Tianwu nodded.
No one else had any objections, because the Source Origin World, which is about 1.1 billion years old, is relatively fragile, and all the energy is used to nurture life and matter.
The small world itself has poor resistance. If a powerful external being enters, it will cause strong interference to the origin of the world and may collapse.
The Primordial Beginning Realm and the Origin Heavenly Palace have a lot to say about the various stages of the world, and the Great Derivation Divine Weapon has unparalleled computing power.
Therefore, the Five Poisons' decision to limit the number of people to one million, and to ensure that no one exceeds the Dao Domain Realm, is absolutely the right choice.
"According to the previously agreed-upon profit-sharing ratio, the Empire will send 500,000 people, the Ancient Hill of Antiquity will send 250,000 people, the Origin Heavenly Palace will send 120,000 people, the Ancient Kingdom Alliance will send 80,000 people, the Academy City will send 30,000 people, and the remaining slots will be distributed among the other allies."
Besides the super powers, there are also some weaker top powers participating. This part has the largest number of powers, but the fewest spots are actually available, with only 10,000 spots to be distributed.
After the meeting to divide the spoils concluded, each faction quickly mobilized its forces from the Dao Domain Realm.
Even if there are few spots available, as long as you get in, one person's gains might be equivalent to those of tens of thousands of people.
For example, in the Origin Heavenly Palace, Du Yun was the first choice.
His competitiveness in the Spirit Void Source Origin Realm is equivalent to that of ten thousand people!
Two and a half years later.
The personnel to be dispatched by all factions have been determined.
Zhao Xing also received a notification that he was required by the Primordial Beginning Realm to go to the Spirit Ruins Source Origin Realm.
"Has the Grain Rain Marquis Transformation been resolved?"
"That was fast."
Zhao Xing activated the Star Mirror once again to observe the starry sky beyond the First Boundary Mountain.
The ubiquitous Rain Water has stopped, with only a few 'Mercury' stars and spiritual mists forming in the sky as proof that the spiritual rain had ever existed.
"Zhao Xing, could you please take care of Qiu Sheng?" Before setting off, someone came to their door; it was none other than Emperor Bisui and Yuan Qiusheng.
"Even if the Emperor Lord Realm doesn't say anything, I will take good care of Brother Qiusheng," Zhao Xing said with a smile.
The troops sent by the Empire were not all combat personnel; a significant proportion were support personnel.
In the words of Emperor Bisui, "If we send all the warriors in, they might end up bringing back a pile of trash, while the real treasures are all smashed by those idiots."
Therefore, someone like Yuan Qiusheng, a True Self Faction and supportive type of Agricultural Official, would definitely be a candidate.
Yuan Qiusheng is unique in his ability to identify Original Seed.
In addition, Zhao Xing also saw Ai Miaomiao, Wei Lan, Xu Youling, Tuo Sen and others among the members sent out.
Among the Mechanism Master are Yu Tianqing and Jing Yan.
"Huh? Jing Yan is here too? This spot is really valuable, how did he manage to get one?"
"Oh, Jing Yan used the royal access route, not because he was assigned by the Primordial Beginning Realm —he's definitely a person with connections."
Zhao Xing sent a message to Jing Yan Jing Yan, hoping to team up with him, but received no response.
"There are dozens of routes to the Spirit Ruins Source Origin Realm. It seems that my route is not the same as Jing Yan and Yu Tianqing's."
"Never mind."
Three days later, Zhao Xing's group was full and set off on the Rain of Yore Boat sent by the Primordial Beginning Realm.
There are fifty people on the Realm Boat, the vast majority of whom are at the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm.
It encompassed almost every profession, even including a Priest from the Shuidao.
The Priest "Ji Yuan" who was pulled into the group almost shed tears, because he was only on the military's shortlist, the kind of person who could go if someone wanted him, and couldn't go if no one wanted him.
Zhao Xing knew that the Spirit Void Realm had developed its own racial civilization, and that the Priest profession would be truly useful, so he brought Ji Yuan into the group.
"You are all the elites of the empire, so I won't say much more. I just hope that you will have a sense of awe and be responsible for your own lives and the lives of others."
"As your leader, I won't make excessive demands on you. I only require you to follow the Empire's exploration regulations."
"Brother Gu Ming, could you give the brothers transferred from the military a briefing on the information about the Spirit Ruins Source Origin Realm?" Zhao Xing looked at Gu Ming, who had not followed the people from the Origin Heavenly Palace but remained in Zhao Xing's group.
"Yes." Gu Ming immediately stepped forward. "According to the Fate Master's speculation, the Spirit Ruins Source Origin Realm has nine layers of internal Boundary Wall, which are divided into nine distinct intra-realm territories."
"Although it has twenty-six entrances, we will all appear in the lowest level, the ' Clear River Realm,' after we arrive."
"The name ' Clear River Realm' didn't come from nowhere; it's mostly water."
"Since the Grain Rain Marquis Transformation outside the boundary has just passed, the Qinghe Formation, which was irrigated by Grain Rain, is very likely still in the process of Hou Transformation. —.."
Forty-eight days later, a pale blue Boundary Wall appeared before them, resembling a jellyfish twisting in the void.
A faint halo of light formed a narrow passageway to the outside.
Zhao Xing waved his hand and ordered the Realm Boat to enter through the passage.
Upon receiving the instruction, Gu Ming immediately began to control the Realm Boat to descend.
"Boom!"
The violent crashing sounds came from outside the Realm Boat and lasted for a total of Heavenly Timing before dissipating.
"Boom!"
As the final loud bang landed, Zhao Xing and the others all felt that the Great Dao outside the boundary had changed, and a feeling of unease arose in their minds.
"Gu Ming, receive external sound sources and open the Realm Boat's vision."
"Yes."
Gu Ming manipulated the Magic Array, and the outer wall of the Realm Boat suddenly became transparent. As soon as it was opened, black seawater rushed in.
The sky was overcast, as if covered by thick, indissoluble ink.
A muffled rumble of thunder sounded in the sky, and a small mountain in the distance seemed to be moving.
The next moment, a desolate voice suddenly came from the black hill.
"Wow!"
At the same time, thunder roared down.
"Hmm?" Zhao Xing looked closely. "What a coincidence! We've actually encountered a living being undergoing tribulation?"
