Secrets of the Upper Three Realms: A Fight for Survival!
Clear River Realm, a Star Continent resembling an eagle's head.
"Boom!"
The countless sword lights seemed to drift through the void like feathers, and a Starry Sky Fortress spanning millions of miles, resembling a bird's nest, was instantly split in two.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~" A large amount of rainbow light, mixed with screams, began to flee outwards.
Within the rainbow light were countless humanoid races with wings and eagle heads, numbering over a million.
Before the shattered fortress stood only one person, Zhou Ze, wielding the Source Origin Divine Weapon.
"My lord, the Demon Eagle Race's defensive fortress has been breached, and the Azure Jade World has completely surrounded this royal fortress. None of them will be able to escape," Gu Ming reported.
"That's a complete rout," Yuan Qiusheng exclaimed. "The Demon Eagle Race has a million elite troops, a tenth of whom are at the Dao Domain Realm."
"We only deployed Zhou Ze, and we wiped them out."
Even without Gu Ming reporting, Zhao Xing could see it clearly.
It's really easy!
In terms of the completeness of the Dao, the Great Dao of the Source Origin World is not as complete as the Great Dao of the Universe, and it is more difficult to comprehend because it has not yet transitioned to the "Myriad Phenomena Stage". The Great Dao is still in its original state and does not reveal itself, so it is naturally difficult to comprehend.
In terms of skills, all professions in the Xuanling Star Domain have developed incredibly mature systems.
In terms of tools, Zhao Xing has not yet seen any living beings using tools at the level of Source Origin Divine Weapon.
It was a complete crushing defeat; they weren't even in the same league.
Therefore, when their Realm Boat descended upon the Star Continent where the Demon Eagle Race lived, sending Zhou Ze, a Life and Death Dao Domain Realm, would be enough to destroy all armed forces.
"My lord, should we exterminate them all?" Zhou Ze's voice came from ahead.
Zhao Xing did not respond immediately, but looked to the side.
Scholar Ruan Shuheng immediately offered his advice. "My lord, according to my observation, the ruling class of the Demon Eagle Race consists of these royal families with golden wings."
"Royalty has its own language and civilization. Once captured, I can learn their communication methods in a very short time, which will save a lot of exploration time."
Zhao Xing nodded and ordered, "Then arrest them."
"Yes."
The sword light in Zhou Ze's hand suddenly changed, and the dense runic sword energy accurately pierced the wings of all the Demon Eagle Race, rendering them powerless to resist.
Following this, Gu Ming's Azure Jade World encircled and trapped all one million Demon Eagle Race.
The Azure Jade World transformed into a spherical barrier, its interior divided into millions of spaces, each containing individuals of different categories.
"Brother Ruan, I'm leaving it to you."
"It will only take two hours," Ruan Shuheng gave Zhao Xing a satisfactory answer.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Zhao Xing waved his hand, Realm Boat landed, beginning its free exploration period.
Gu Ming created a large number of Mechanical Puppet, while Qiu Zishan began digging into the ground.
Yuan Qiusheng's straw doll clone went to collect native plants from the territory of the ape-eagle tribe, accompanied by Xu Youling, Tuo Sen, and other authentic agricultural agents.
As for the warriors, they also went down to look at the primitive weapons used by the Demon Eagle Race and selected some as souvenirs.
The entire exploration process will be under the surveillance of the Realm Boat Ship's spirit, so Zhao Xing is not worried that anyone will keep secrets.
He then began examining the Star Mirror aboard the Realm Boat.
"The Spirit Void Realm database has been updated again."
"In just eight years, more than half of the Lower Three Realms have been explored," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
"The Lower Three Realms are named Clear River Realm, Boiling Sea Realm, and Ocean Mountain Realm. This is no different from the previous life."
"A vast number of mineral resources, intelligent races, and Original Seed have been discovered, with the total number of species exceeding trillions."
"The types of merit points that can be recovered have been greatly reduced; another million have been removed from the list today."
The major powers have collectively dispatched a total of 1 million people into the Spirit Void Source Origin Realm, a terrifying level of exploration.
The database is updated almost every moment, and the list of items that can be exchanged for merits is also changing wildly.
At first, you could get rewards for anything, even finding an unfamiliar stone. If its composition was something you'd never seen before, you could earn merit points.
However, as the total amount of discovery becomes too large, it is quickly devalued and may even be completely removed from the reward list.
"The things in the Spirit Void Source Origin Realm initially had very high overflow value, but now they are slowly disappearing. It won't be long before..."
The reward amount is gradually returning to the inherent value of the item itself.
Stones like the Five Elements Stone, Yin Yang Stone, and World Stone have a wide range of uses and are available elsewhere; they still fetch good prices. No matter how many are discovered, all the major powers will want them.
"The era of quick money-making is coming to an end." Zhao Xing glanced at his account.
[Remaining Merit Points: 652.01 million]
Zhao Xing initially earned 550 million merit points, spent 220 million to exchange for Source Origin Golden Pill from Emperor Chen Jiu, and had 330 million left.
Now, the number of people coming to the Spirit Void Source Origin Realm has increased by more than 300 million.
Zhao Xing grew by 300 million, and the 49 members of his team naturally reaped similar rewards, with almost everyone earning over 50 million merit points. Those who contributed the most had already surpassed 100 million in merit.
It can be said that Zhao Xing's exploration team was among the most successful.
"Once this exploration is over, it's time to find Ji Si a good place to stay," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "If we're going to do it, let's do something big."
He had been planning to find a good teacher for Ji Si Ji Si and improve her cultivation system.
Ji Si has cultivated both destiny and history to reach this point, and her self-created spells are already so powerful. If she could have a master to guide her, her potential would be immeasurable.
He can be said to be the most promising talent in the Great Zhou!
"In the entire Red Star Empire, only that Imperial Heavenly Master is suitable for Ji Si to become his disciple."
Zhao Xing pondered for a moment, then his clone controlled a small Realm Boat and flew out of the Spirit Void Source Origin Realm.
"Metaphor~"
A figure appeared in the enhanced Star Mirror; it was none other than the Five Poisons Emperor Lord.
"Master, I have a question for you to answer."
"What is it?" The Five Poisons Emperor Lord seemed very busy, still with his back to me.
"This disciple wishes to send his relative to become a disciple."
"You're bothering me with such a small thing? Why don't you just look at the merit exchange list yourself?"
"This disciple wishes to have him become an apprentice of the Imperial Heavenly Master, even if it's only for a short period of time," Zhao Xing said.
The Five Poisons Emperor Lord raised his head and turned around. "Oh? Your relatives cultivate the Dao of Destiny?"
"Yes, Ji Si is very talented." Zhao Xing nodded. He knew that the Five Poisons Emperor Lord could contact that Celestial Master because that Celestial Master had given him a reading after the Layered World Mountain incident.
The Five Poisons also relayed the Celestial Master's assessment of them: their future and destiny were uncertain, and their life and death were undetermined.
That mysterious Imperial Heavenly Master, who was also the Fate Master who obtained the First Divination of Ten Directions Mountain, was the direct factor in the empire's development of the Si Yue Desolate Territory.
"You overestimate me." The Five Poisons Emperor Lord chuckled. "While I may have some ability, what kind of person is the Celestial Master? How could I possibly persuade him?"
"The last time I did a divination for you, it was purely because you solved the problem of the Layered World Mountain, which had a far-reaching impact. That's why the Celestial Master had some spare energy to do a divination for you. I don't usually see the Celestial Master."
"You should give up on that idea."
"Furthermore, even if your relative is exceptionally talented, Emperor Lord Level would be more than capable of teaching them."
Hearing what the Five Poisons Emperor Lord said, Zhao Xing had no choice but to give up.
According to his speculation, the Imperial Heavenly Master should also be Demigod Realm, just like Gu Luo River.
Gu Luo River was originally unwilling to take on apprentices, but he stepped forward because of Lao Qing. However, he was only teaching on behalf of Lao Qing and did not want to get involved in any karma.
"Master is right. I was ignorant and arrogant."
The Five Poisons Emperor Lord Five Poisons Emperor Lord his hand, intending to cut off the communication, but just then, he called out again, "Wait a minute!"
"What are your instructions, Master?" Zhao Xing asked, looking over in confusion.
The Five Poisons Emperor Lord said with a strange expression, "The Celestial Master agrees."
"You agreed?" Zhao Xing asked. "Master means—"
"The Celestial Master just said that he is willing to devote some of his energy to teaching Ji Si, at the cost of 30 billion merit points."
Zhao Xing's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't even said who he was giving it to, yet the Daoist priest immediately mentioned Ji Si's name.
"The Celestial Master also asked me to convey a message." The Five Poisons Emperor Lord said solemnly, "Zhao Xing, you didn't ask if you didn't want to, but now that you've asked, you can't stop."
"From this moment on, I will immediately send someone to the Jiachen Fourteenth Pass Jia Chen to pick up Ji Si. Once you have gathered enough people, Ji Si's teaching will begin."
Zhao Xing's heart skipped a beat. "Yes, disciple will definitely keep the promise."
After hanging up the call, Zhao Xing noticed that his palms were sweating and his heart had been involuntarily pounding.
"Once it's brought up, there's no room for negotiation. You have to do it, whether you want to or not—dealing with Fate Master is truly mysterious—"
Zhao Xing felt that he and the Celestial Master had been forced into the situation.
Otherwise, why didn't he call for so many helpers back in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom and choose the Fate Master Profession? That profession is just too unpredictable.
"But it can be considered a wish fulfilled," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "Only someone of the Imperial Heavenly Master's caliber could disregard Ji Si's special status."
Ji Si was able to retain her memories clearly during the Yuanhai Dharma Assembly incident.
Gu Luo River is one of the people who have the right to know the secrets of the Origin Sea, but Zuo Qiyu and Five Poisons are unaware of them.
Therefore, Zhao Xing speculated that the Demigod level is the threshold for obtaining the right to know.
Therefore, he insisted on having a Demigod Fate Master teach Ji Si to ensure his peace of mind. Otherwise, if an Emperor Lord Realm were to teach her and accidentally discover the special qualities in Ji Si, it would only create more trouble. The Imperial Heavenly Master was different; he already knew.
"30 billion in merit? That's expensive, but totally worth it."
According to the treasure vault list, 30 billion merit points could be exchanged for a decent Reincarnation Dao Soldier, but now it can only be used to become an apprentice.
But Zhao Xing believes it's absolutely worth it!
Otherwise, Ji Si would have to keep studying on her own in secret.
"The Great Zhou must have its own Fate Master to protect it. In the future, if I want to go to the Ten Directions Mountain, I can't do it without a Fate Master by my side."
The Desolate Territory Era 2 ended after only five thousand World Star Year. One of the greatest opportunities of the third era was the Ten Directions Mountain!
"Isn't it just 30 billion in meritorious service?"
Zhao Xing was still confident that he could quickly acquire this fortune.
"My lord, what you sought has been found."
Just then, Tian Shi sent Yu Qing, the Minister of Agriculture, to deliver a message to Zhao Xing.
"Um?"
Zhao Xing's eyes lit up, and his true form quickly flew out of the Realm Boat and landed on the Star Continent of the Demon Eagle Race.
"Whoosh~"
In a few flashes, Zhao Xing located Yu Qing's position.
This is a small valley located in the sacred land of the Ape and Eagle Kings, surrounded by many towers piled with gems.
Seven-colored towers shone above the valley, forming auspicious seven-colored Auspicious Cloud. Above the Auspicious Cloud appeared a spirited Demon Eagle Race holding a halberd-shaped weapon.
Not far away, many wounded Demon Eagle Race knelt on the ground in prayer; they were members of the royal family who had fled here.
"ZheliliX~"
A light rain began to fall.
As raindrops fell on them, the Demon Eagle Race who had been injured by Zhou Ze's sword energy recovered quickly, and their aura even slightly improved.
They glared at Zhao Xing and Yu Qing, muttering Gulu as they charged forward, weapons raised.
"Freeze!" Yu Qing flicked his finger lightly, and lightning flashed, entering the bodies of all the Demon Eagle Race.
All the Demon Eagle Race were paralyzed by the lightning and unable to move.
Zhao Xing ignored the clansmen and walked towards the sacred place filled with towers and clear pools of water.
It's raining in the sky, and it's raining on the ground.
The water was so clear it was like a mirror, making it almost impossible to distinguish between the sky and the ground.
You have entered the sacred land of the Demon Eagle Race - Sky Realm! Coordinates:
Zhao Xing glanced at the coordinates displayed on the panel and immediately smiled.
"After eight years, we have finally found a complete 'Sky Realm '."
"Receive!"
Zhao Xing pointed, and the warm, jade-like golden gem above the 88 gem towers in the surrounding area was immediately removed.
"Metaphor~"
As if losing some source of power, the clouds in the sky and the phantoms of the Demon Eagle Race vanished.
The clouds dispersed and the rain stopped.
Zhao Xing stared at the 88 golden gems in his hand. They resembled grains of millet, and their texture was warm and smooth, unlike solid objects. Inside, life flowed, forming seven distinct rivers. The space encircled by these rivers was infinitely deep, as if it contained a hidden world.
"A total of eighty-eight Seven-striped Grain Rain Stone."
"This is the greatest treasure in the Lower Three Realms!"
Zhao Xing smiled.
Before the Spirit Void Source Origin Realm was discovered, a rain of spiritual energy was falling in the Realm Star sectors.
The simultaneous occurrence of the four seasons during the Great Heavenly Timing washed away the Spirit Ruins Source Origin Realm for hundreds of millions of years.
Such a massive spiritual rain caused the Spirit Ruins Source Origin Realm to be deeply influenced by the Great Dao of Time during its formation.
The Time Faction has always believed that the universe they inhabit is Time Universe.
Similarly, there are also the concepts of the Earthly Advantage Universe and the True Self Universe.
This theory also provides detailed classifications of small worlds and Realm Star. According to the theory of the Time Faction, any small world that is strongly influenced by the Great Cosmic Seasons can be divided into the "Celestial Timing Primordial Beginning Realm", the "Celestial Timing Source Origin Realm", the "Celestial Timing Myriad Images Realm", and the "Celestial Timing Nirvana Realm".
In this way, theoretically, the Time Faction can once again crush the other two factions. Although there is no super Time Faction in the Xuanling Star Domain, this can still be considered a spiritual victory.
The Grain Rain Stone collected by Zhao Xing are considered a type of "World Stone".
In addition, the Middle Three Realms also contain the "Rainstorm Stone," the "Plum Rain Stone," and the "Cold Rain Stone," which correspond to the four Heavenly Timing of the external world. They are formed by the fusion of the spiritual rain that lasted for hundreds of millions of years with the origin of the Spirit Void Source Origin Realm.
"All four gemstones possess the characteristics of World Stone, but their greatest function is not to be absorbed in the Source Origin Space."
"Due to the unique environment, the faith born in the Spirit Void Realm is that of the Rain Immortal, and they attribute this special phenomenon to the grace of the fairy."
"Once enough of the four boundary stones are collected, a sacrifice can be held at the border between the Rain Immortal Realm and the Cloud Immortal Realm."
"After the sacrifice, the recipient can be nourished by power and transformed into a being in the Reincarnation Realm."
"Most of the beings in the Spirit Void Realm Reincarnation Realm in this way, and that is precisely why they are not rejected by the Spirit Void Realm."
Zhao Xing put away the eighty-eight Seven-striped Grain Rain Stone and then walked out of the valley.
"Yu Qing, notify someone to move these eighty-eight stone pagodas away."
"Yes." Yu Qing didn't know what these gems were for at this time. She only knew that the price offered by the Primordial Beginning Realm was not low, so she simply regarded them as a type of World Stone.
There are eighty-eight towers, containing hundreds of thousands of Grain Rain Stone, but only 88 of them are of the seventh-grade quality.
The Demon Eagle Race, residing in the Lower Three Realms, found the treasure land [Sky Realm] to perform sacrifices, and were able to gain some power feedback, although this was far less powerful than the sacrifices performed in the Rain Immortal Realm.
"Ji Yuan".
After Zhao Xing boarded the ship, he immediately summoned the Priest.
"My lord, what are your orders?" Ji Yuan flew over in a flash and stood up straight.
"Does your Priest practice involve any knowledge of the Heavenly Timing Hou Bian Method within the Shennong Art?"
"Yes, sir," Ji Yuan replied immediately, "But my Hou Bian Method is very rudimentary, merely a beginner-level Minor Divine Ability."
"At most, it's just a transformation to entertain everyone."
Zhao Xing nodded slightly. Ji Yuan, as a priest, could be considered an all-rounder, possessing skills from almost every profession.
However, he does not have a true professional core. For example, when he casts the Shennong Art, his body does not actually generate ' Source Origin Space ', ' Earth Vein ', or ' Solar Terms Decree '.
He could not deploy the mechanical Magic Array, nor did he possess Limitless Compass or Miniature Formation Star within his body.
He can also use the Golden Body of a martial artist, and even generate "the Zither Heart" and "the Sword Gallbladder".
However, these are all temporary measures.
Its core is [Sacrificial Spirit Tablet]. After [Sacrificial Spirit Reading] simulates the core of Qi Yu's profession, he can cultivate it.
You can also use spells from other professions.
How much one can learn depends entirely on the level of their [Sacrificial Spirit Tablet], the quantity of the Divine Realm and divine objects for each profession, and the amount of spiritual feedback they receive.
The latter limited the development of the Priest profession. If one day all the gods or objects worshipped by Ji Yuan collapsed and ceased to exist, he would also become a useless person.
However, in certain regions, such as the Desolate Territory, where the power of the gods cannot reach, Ji Yuan's strength will be diminished because he cannot borrow any divine power.
"Can you learn it? I have a Hou Bian Method. If you learn it, I can assign you a very important task," Zhao Xing asked.
Ji Yuan, practicing such a Shuidao profession, was able to break through the encirclement of thousands of troops and appear in my sight, which already makes him a genius among geniuses in this profession.
"Yes! I can definitely do it!" Ji Yuan's eyes lit up.
For eight years, his situation has remained very awkward.
He can do everything, but he's not as good as others at anything.
He's useless in fights, and he's not as good as a support either.
He had a very low profile in the team, and apart from occasionally making some mystical jokes, he served no purpose.
However, Ji Yuan gained fifty to sixty million merits by following Zhao Xing!
When others questioned his existence, it was Zhao Xing who kept those voices quiet; otherwise, Ji Yuan probably wouldn't have been able to stay any longer.
Therefore, he really longed to be put to use and not let Zhao Xing down.
Now that Zhao Xing suddenly said he had a big mission to entrust to him, Ji Yuan was very excited and even felt an impulse to die for Zhao Xing.
The words slipped out without hesitation. "No matter the mission, I'm willing to die for you, sir!"
Zhao Xing smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's not that serious. You'll be traveling with me, so if I don't die, you definitely won't either."
"But now you must learn this Hou Bian Method."
After saying that, Zhao Xing lightly tapped his fingertip, and the modified "Spirit Void Turtle Transformation Art" was transmitted into Ji Yuan's mind.
"My lord, you actually created the Spirit Void Turtle's Hou Bian Method in just eight years?" Ji Yuan was astonished upon sensing it. "Your talent is truly unparalleled in my life."
Zhao Xing ignored Ji Yuan's flattery and asked directly, "How long will it take you to learn?"
"Just learning it will take about three years," Ji Yuan said.
"What if it's a perfect ending?"
"Just three hundred years!" Ji Yuan believed.
"Another three hundred years?" Zhao Xing frowned.
Ji Yuan immediately deflated. He then remembered that the person in front of him was the strongest genius in the Primordial Beginning Realm, and was even revered as a holy son by the Ancient Hill of Antiquity.
You learned it in three hundred years, what's there to be proud of?
"I will assign a clone to teach you," Zhao Xing said, "I will only give you fifteen years."
"If I can't learn it in fifteen years, I'll have to find another way."
Zhao Xing calculated the time; it wouldn't be long before the local forces of the Spirit Void Realm would organize their forces to resist the invasion of the Xuanling Star Domain forces.
He must collect enough of the four types of boundary stones within twenty years and then infiltrate the Rain Immortal Realm.
Hou Bian Method were the best form of disguise.
If it's later than this time, once the great war begins and the upper realm forces seal off the entrance, it will be too difficult to sneak in.
However, finding a suitable Priest to accompany you in completing the ritual is not easy, and Ji Yuan is already the best choice.
"I will do my best!" Ji Yuan shouted. "Please teach me, sir."
"Good."
"Brother Zhao, with so many Grain Rain Stone, why not just sell them and divide the money among ourselves?" Young Lotus Fairy lay on the table, tossing stones between her fingers. "What's the point of just dividing the stones directly?"
In the past, when spoils of war were acquired, few people kept them. Instead, they would send out unmanned Realm Boat, carried by Gu Ming's Mechanical Puppet, to the outer realm in exchange for merit points. Then the merit points would be distributed.
There are now seven bases surrounding the Spirit Ruins Source Origin Realm, making it very convenient to exchange merits.
But now Zhao Xing is directly distributing the stones instead of selling them first and then distributing the merits.
"What's the secret behind it?" Tuo Sen asked curiously.
"When Brother Yu and I discovered the sacred site of the Demon Eagle Race, we found that these Grain Rain Stone were being used as sacrificial offerings," Zhao Xing said. "Perhaps these Grain Rain Stone have other uses as well."
"Do you think it will appreciate in value?" Miao Song Dao Ren played with a three-patterned Grain Rain Stone. "Although it is a local specialty, its efficacy is not much different from that of various World Stone produced outside."
"I absorbed a few from my Source Origin Space, and they all felt about the same."
Nowadays, things in the Spirit Void Realm rarely appreciate in value; on the contrary, most depreciate.
After all, a million people, like locusts swarming across the land, frantically plunder resources. As things become more abundant, their value naturally decreases.
Whether it will appreciate in value or not is for everyone to decide for themselves; I'm just offering a suggestion.
The matter was accomplished in secrecy; he couldn't reveal the secrets of the Upper Three Realms now. Zhao Xing could only offer this much advice.
He's giving these friends a chance; whether they can seize it depends on whether they're willing to listen.
"I'll keep it." Young Lotus Fairy caught the stone that had been thrown.
"I'll keep it too. Anyway, my merits are second only to Zhao Xing's right now." Tuo Sen also accepted the suggestion.
"I'll just sell it," Miao Song Dao Ren shook his head. "If we wait a few more years, the price might drop by half."
"I'll sell mine too," Gu Ming said.
In their next move, Zhao Xing and his group mainly focused on plundering World Stone.
The Lower Three Realms: Boiling Sea Realm, Clear River Realm, and Ocean Mountain Realm.
It was quickly excavated in the twenty-third year after the exploration began.
A massive super-power, with a million Dao Domain Realm, its operational capabilities are extremely terrifying.
In just twenty-three years, there were no more secrets left in the Lower Three Realms.
In these twenty-three years, some people chose to sell the World Stone in exchange for merit, while others chose to keep it.
Zhao Xing, on the other hand, did the opposite, acquiring the four great boundary stones in good condition from forces outside the Red Star Empire.
His more than 600 million merits gradually diminished until the twenty-fifth year.
Zhao Xing had only 500,000 merit points left, which were replaced by more than 1,800.
The gains gradually diminished.
There's hardly anything left to gain in the Lower Three Realms.
On August 19th of the twenty-sixth year, Zhao Xing led his team "unintentionally" into a vortex of passageways.
The first to discover the spacetime passage leading to the Middle Three Realms!
As a result, the Middle Three Realms were also quickly discovered.
They were respectively named the "Volcano Realm", the "Flying Star Realm", and the "Four Suns Realm".
Zhao Xing's team earned 1.2 billion, 1.5 billion, and 2.4 billion merit points respectively for being the first to discover the entrance to the Middle Three Realms and for reporting relevant Earthly Advantage Institute on the location, Heavenly Timing, and races inside and outside the entrance.
But the joy brought by the reward did not last long.
Because a giant green tortoise of the Reincarnation Realm led a million tortoise soldiers in pursuit.
The Turtle Race alone is nothing special.
According to Gu Ming's detection, the other four dominant races were also involved in the pursuit and encirclement, totaling more than ten million Dao Domain Realm.
There are four Reincarnation Realm in total, three of whom are senior Reincarnation Realm whose overall combat strength is comparable to that of Human Race! The green-haired turtle, on the other hand, is Lord Level!
Second only to the Reincarnation Emperor Lord!
With such fighting strength and such a formation, the Fifty-Person Group had absolutely no desire to resist.
"Run! Run! Run!"
"Gu Ming, quickly activate the Boundary Wall and return to the Lower Three Realms!"
"You think I don't want to travel back? To do that, I need to switch from the Tianyuan Realm Boat to the Duckweed Realm Boat mode, which requires at least three days of preparation time! Where do I have that time now?"
"Can you withstand the Reincarnation Lord's attack for three days?"
The martial artist who had been speaking immediately shut his mouth.
Qi Sect Martial Practitioner are tough and resilient, but even they would die from a single blow when facing Reincarnation Lord.
No matter how talented or confident he is, he can only withstand a few attacks from ordinary Reincarnation Realm at most.
Even with advantages in technique and equipment, it's not easy for these geniuses to fight against opponents of higher levels.
Moreover, the green-haired turtle that was chasing them was already at the level of Reincarnation Lord.
They can still run because of their superior equipment—those Turtle Race don't understand what a mechanical Realm Boat is.
"Don't panic," Zhao Xing said.
Thanks to the prestige he had built up over the past two decades, the moment he spoke, everyone immediately calmed down.
"Before we were hunted down, the coordinates of the passage entrance, including the map of the Middle Three Realms, had already been sent out."
"Now that the border crossing is open, a large number of people will definitely be rushing over."
"The Turtle Race, the Demon Ape Race, the Fire Elephant Race, and the Stone Dragon Race cannot possibly focus all their energy on us."
"Gu Ming, how many more times can the Tian Yuan Boat perform space travel?" Zhao Xing asked.
The Tian Yuan Boat is Source Origin Divine Weapon, and a giant machine at that. It is precisely because of its 'space travel' function that...
Only then could he avoid being caught up by the four Reincarnation Realm.
"We are well prepared and can perform 28 uninterrupted space travels! We can perform 157 intermittent space travels," Gu Ming.
"Doesn't that mean we can escape for a long time?" Yuan Qiusheng asked.
"It's not that simple," Gu Ming shook his head.
"Turtle Race that can grow to the Reincarnation Realm are no less intelligent than us Human Race. They just haven't seen the Heavenly Palace's techniques, but that doesn't mean they are weak."
"In the first eighteen chases, the green-haired turtle closed the distance in less and less time each time, which proves that it is quickly adapting to the sudden disappearance of the Tian Yuan Boat and is tracking it through void fluctuations."
"In other words, it's learning?" Tuo Sen asked.
"Yes." Gu Ming tapped his wristband, and a table popped up. "Based on my repeated rehearsals with the artifact spirit, and on the learning ability of that green-haired turtle, it will catch up with us after the thirteenth time we travel through time."
"An advantage in skill can never erase the gap in spiritual realm," sighed Miao Song Dao Ren.
"What do we do now?" someone asked.
The question has returned to square one: how to escape this predicament?
"Why don't we split up? We can save as many as we can!"
"Without relying on the Tianyuan Realm Boat, if you all act alone, your chances of survival will not exceed 10%," Gu Ming once again gave a cold prediction.
"This is assuming that you all possess one to three Source Origin Divine Weapon and can activate them to their full potential."
The crowd fell silent once again. The Tian Yuan Artifact Spirit forged by the Origin Heavenly Palace, while not comparable to the sub-body of the Great Derivation Divine Weapon, undoubtedly possessed unparalleled computational capabilities.
Gu Ming collected so much data during the previous 18 pursuits that his predictions wouldn't be too far off.
At this point, no one was excited anymore.
Seeing that everyone's mentality had stabilized, Zhao Xing said, "We've all been prepared to die since we started out in this world."
"Now that the situation is clear, our only option is to rely on the Tianyuan Realm Boat to escape."
"Abandoning the ship and running away is not an option, fighting separately is not an option, and we can't win in a head-on battle, so we can only take advantage of the Favorable Timing and Location to fight a battle and put an end to that tortoise's pursuit."
"Gu Ming, how long will it take to complete the mapping of the entire Volcano Realm?"
Gu Ming immediately checked the wristband. "Completed after three shuttles."
Zhao Xing closed his eyes and then said, "Alright, after the three traversals, enter the coordinates I gave you into the Tianyuan Realm Boat."
"Please speak, sir."
Zhao Xing looked at the scene outside the window. "Sun Star 4 5, Lunar Yin 12, Military Gate 55, Blazing Fire Academy 4, eliminate the interference of the Void River, travel at Renyin hour."
Gu Ming was somewhat puzzled. "How can we not take into account the interference from void turbulence?"
Zhao Xing pointed to a point on the unedited map. "Because there is the largest Boundary Volcano in the Middle Three Realms here, it is impossible for void turbulence to pass through."
Fate Master Chu Lanxing unconsciously twitched his fingers, then said with a strange expression, "My intuition tells me that there really is a Boundary Volcano here. After Lord Zhao made this decision, our chances of survival have increased."
Gu Ming, who prefers precise data, originally disliked the vague and unfounded metaphysical speculations of Fate Master. He believed that Chu Lanxing was simply trying to boost everyone's confidence.
But after three trips, a detailed map of the Volcano Realm appeared, and the fourth trip ended. Gu Ming also felt incredible.
Because they actually arrived on the Volcanic Star Continent!
"How... how did you remember that?" Gu Ming looked at Zhao Xing in shock, even forgetting to address him by his title.
In the eyes of this Mechanism Master, Zhao Xing had essentially glanced at the void and accurately pinpointed the location of a certain Realm Star from a spot the size of a pinhole.
The first rough scan of the Tianyuan Realm Boat had an exaggeratedly large scale; an area the size of a pinhole might contain a space the size of dozens of World Yuan Unit.
Zhao Xing is even more outrageous than Chu Lanxing, that fortune teller!
Chu Lanxing is Fate Master who can make things up off the cuff. If he can calculate the coordinates, then there's nothing to say; his metaphysics is thorough!
But Zhao Xing is the Agricultural Official, so he needs to have a basis for providing coordinates! This greatly shocked Gu Ming.
"Have you forgotten that my master, Gu Luo River, once passed on to me a unique Void Positioning Method?"
Gu Ming suddenly remembered that Zhao Xing had indeed said something like that on the Taoyang Star Continent.
"Is there really such a miraculous method?"
Gu Ming was completely taken aback by the conversation. He felt that something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
The Gu Luo River possesses such a miraculous method, which should have been shared with the spirit of the Great Derivation Divine Weapon of the Empire. As a genius of the Origin Heavenly Palace, he should have heard of this information.
"Don't stand there in a daze." Zhao Xing took out Luck Golden Pill and swallowed it. "Immediately lock the Tianyuan Realm Boat in the forty-sixth volcano using the Azure Jade World Realm."
"What are they trying to do?" Gu Ming was still confused.
And what is Zhao Xing eating?
