Ancient Luo He's Secret, Zhao Xing's Shock!

"No need for formalities." Red Star Great Emperor's voice was gentle, and a ray of Golden Light lifted Zhao Xing up. "Have you gained anything from the Xu Zu Molting Bone?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," Zhao Xing replied. "I believe I copied a secret technique from the Xu Zu Molting Bone, but I have no idea what that technique is."

"But it's a bit troublesome to take it out now."

Zhao Xing recounted in detail the strange events that had occurred when he returned.

Although it happened in the World Transfer Tower, and the Red Star Great Emperor was not the God of Fate Master, the Celestial Master Mansion might still know about it.

In the Karma War, the Celestial Master Mansion has seen a lot of information, and concealing it would be a foolish choice.

I Lai Empire thanks to Qing Yuzi. Gu Luo River knows about it, and Red Star Great Emperor must know as well, so there's no need to hide it.

After listening to Zhao Xing's words, Red Star Great Emperor remained silent for a while.

Gu Luo River was somewhat surprised that the Red Star Great Emperor had been thinking for so long, as this was a rare occurrence.

Finally, Red Star Great Emperor spoke, "With just a wisp of divine power, I can temporarily stabilize your Source Origin Space, and the statue can be retrieved smoothly."

"In recognition of your contributions, I will give you another ' Primal Chaos Dao Tower '."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Xing was overjoyed.

A basic World Stabilizing Tower is standard equipment for cultivating the Primal Chaos World.

The Primal Chaos Dao Tower is the top-tier cultivation technique in the Primal Chaos World. It can be used to demonstrate the four stages of the world's transformation and also serves to maintain the world's stability.

This item was first created by the Red Star Great Emperor, and it solved the problems of slow evolution and instability of the Internal World for the Agricultural Official in the Primordial Beginning Realm.

Legend has it that the Primal Chaos Dao Tower was one of the products of the Great Emperor 'Attain Dao and Become God; it was created at the moment when the Red Star Great Emperor became a god!

This is definitely a divine object.

"You can't open the Source Origin Space right now, so I'll have Gu Luo River help you. Don't resist."

"Yes."

Zhao Xing stood obediently in place.

Gu Luo River flew over, and a wisp of shadow entered Zhao Xing's dantian, easily prying open the originally extremely heavy Source Origin Space.

"Gu Luo River truly lives up to his reputation as the strongest Demigod. He possesses two Emperor Lord Level plants and a divine statue that carries the power of the Divine Realm. The three of them maintain a delicate balance in the fragile Source Origin Space, yet he was able to easily help me open the Source Origin Space." Zhao Xing was also very impressed with the Gu Luo River.

There's a reason why Zuo Qiyu and the Five Poisons Emperor Lord were able to subdue the Gu Luo River.

"Buzz~"

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Xing felt the Internal World disappear.

The Qing Yuzi Statue transformed into Golden Light towards Red Star Great Emperor.

In its place stands a nine-story tower shimmering with starlight, its eighty-one windows filled with chaotic energy that stabilizes the Source Origin Space, as well as the Black Heaven Moon Tree and the Spirit-Devouring Grass.

At this moment, Zhao Xing could clearly sense the difference between Lao Qing and Red Star Great Emperor.

While suppressing the two major plant-based soldiers, the statue of Qingyuzi also suppressed the primordial space, causing it to lose control of the core of the Self-Oriented Agriculture Sect, becoming able to see but not open.

However, with the arrival of Red Star Great Emperor's Primal Chaos Dao Tower, the two Plant Soldier were no longer tense and began to grow freely. They were enveloped by the chaotic energy released by the Primal Chaos Dao Tower, forming independent living spaces. They were also able to open their Source Origin Space, unaffected by the tower's power.

One is brutal suppression, the other is gentle stability maintenance. It's clear that the Emperor's methods Gao Ming.

"The secret technique on the Xu Zu Molting Bone is called the ' Devouring Tribulation Art.'" Red Star Great Emperor immediately revealed the origin of this secret technique upon obtaining the divine statue.

"Before the fragments are released for others to practice, they need to be evaluated and improved."

"Zhao Xing, you brought this method back with you. When you reach the Reincarnation Realm, you can also come and cultivate this secret method," Red Star Great Emperor promised.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Xing bowed again.

The Devouring Tribulation Art? That sounds incredibly powerful!

Choosing not to cultivate within the Realm Transmission was the right decision. Even the Great Emperor said that this incomplete technique needed to be evaluated and improved first.

As times progress, most top-tier secret techniques now come with corresponding protective measures. Without such protection, it is easy to Going Berserk in cultivation and die from qi deviation.

The God of Mechanisms, Red Star Great Emperor, was most skilled in this area. It could be said that before the Cenozoic Era, he eliminated the side effects of most cultivation techniques. Perfecting the Primal Chaos World with the Primal Chaos Dao Tower was just one of the Emperor's achievements.

After Red Star Great Emperor obtained the Xu Zu's cultivation technique and the divine statue, his Golden Light figure dissipated.

It was only a divine avatar that descended; the one who would protect Zhao Xing and bring him back would have to be the real Gu Luo River.

Gu Luo River took Zhao Xing and his boat into his Internal World, and in just a dozen breaths, they had returned from the center of the Xuanling Star Domain to the eastern empire.

A few breaths later, they had returned to the Primordial Beginning Realm.

"Whoosh~"

Zhao Xing was released and appeared in a small town on the top leaf of the Primordial Divine Tree.

"Teacher."

Gu Luo River shook his head. "Don't call me teacher anymore. Just call me Senior Gu, like the others."

Zhao Xing was puzzled. In the past, when he called Gu Luohe "teacher, "Gu Luo River would always do as he pleased. Why did he seem to be refusing so seriously this time?

"Is... Senior Gu about to break through?"

Gu Luo River is already Demigod. He seeks to break through to the Divine Realm, so he will not be subject to cause and effect, so as not to be disturbed during the breakthrough.

Divine Realm like Qing Yuzi, who were affected by Zhao Xing Xingda's karma, are a negative example.

After becoming a god, he worried about Zhao Xing countless times.

He sent Zhao Xing to the Empire, had Gu Luo River teach him on his behalf, broke the rules by sending him the Divine Temple's Reincarnation Secret Technique, found a World Opening Divine Stone, and helped fight the Karma War... In the end, he even destroyed a Time-Space Dharma Body.

"It's just about pursuing a small breakthrough," Gu Luo River said calmly. "Whether it will succeed is still unknown."

Zhao Xing nodded. He didn't intend to ask any further questions. Since Gu Luo River said no, he would just call him Senior Gu.

Unexpectedly, Gu Luo River First-Turn: "In order to settle the karmic debt with you, I will tell you some things."

"What is the connection between us?" Zhao Xing asked, puzzled. Besides the teaching assignment given by Lao Qing, was there any other connection between him and Gu Luo River?

"You came here after the Yuanhai Dharma Assembly incident, and even my taking on a disciple was all at Qing Yuzi's behest," Gu Luo River. "He not only arranged for you to definitely be able to enter the Primordial Beginning Realm and be accepted as my disciple, but he also prepared a World Opening Divine Stone long ago."

"As long as you can break through to the Reincarnation Realm and open up your Internal World, the current problem will be easily solved."

As he spoke, Gu Luo River pinched his fingers together, and a pale blue dot of light appeared at his fingertips.

It was only the size of a grain of rice, yet it seemed to contain a whole world within it. Zhao Xing couldn't help but stare at it, unable to look away.

The World Opening Divine Stone!

Its amplifying effect when opening up the Internal World is second only to the legendary Primordial Divine Stone!

Of course, you can force your way into the inner world without any amplifying treasures, but the risk is much higher. In the early days, the Si Nong of the Original Self faction was not strong because the chance of dying from body explosion at this step was as high as 90%.

"Your Majesty's Primordial Chaos Pagoda is only maintaining stability. Although you can now open the Source Origin Space, you still cannot control the two Emperor Lord Level Plant Soldier."

Ultimately, the only way to completely solve this problem is for you to develop your own Internal World.

Zhao Xing also understood that Red Star Great Emperor's method was only a temporary measure.

The Primal Chaos Dao Tower is meant to strengthen the Internal World, but Zhao Xing is currently only in his Source Origin Space, so it hasn't fully realized its potential.

External objects are all auxiliary; ultimately, Zhao Xing's Source Origin Space must transform into his Internal World, expanding and improving its quality, in order to accommodate the survival of Plant Soldier. Only then can we talk about control.

"With His Majesty's Primal Chaos Dao Tower assisting you, you will soon have enough resources to open up your Internal World when the time is right."

"The World Opening Divine Stone is now yours. I have fulfilled my obligations to Qing Yuzi, and the cause and effect are now settled."

Zhao Xing put the World Opening Divine Stone into his bosom, but he did not put it into his Source Origin Space.

Because the World Opening Divine Stone has a catalytic effect, once it is thrown into the Source Origin Space, the transformation will be irreversible, and now is not the time.

"Next is about you," Gu Luo River, looking at Zhao Xing. "I'm afraid you're also wondering why you want to settle your karmic debts with me."

Zhao Xing nodded.

Yes, in theory, Gu Luo River only has a causal relationship with Qing Yuzi. His previous teaching and apprenticeship were all based on the transactions between the Gu Luo River and Qing Yuzi.

One matter should not trouble two masters. Qing Yuzi's karma is enough to cover all the people and things under the agreement, and will not create additional Karma Thread. This is also what the Reincarnation Temple is good at. Of course, it will not allow Gu Luo River to have any additional entanglement with Zhao Xing.

"Because you solved the problem of the Layered World Mountain, accelerated the development of the Si Yue Desolate Territory, and provided information on the Rain Immortal Festival in the Spirit Void Source Origin Realm, all of this has been completely preserved by the Primordial Beginning Realm."

"This is very important to me," said Gu Luo River. "And because of this, it has helped my cultivation, and I am about to achieve a small breakthrough."

"Forgive my ignorance, but I don't understand how this will help you." Zhao Xing still didn't quite understand.

"That is exactly what I am about to say." Gu Luo River waved his hand, and the hall's setting instantly turned into emptiness. "I will tell you about my path to enlightenment as my way of repaying you."

"As is well known, the True Self Faction theory posits that the world has four stages."

"Primordial Chapter, Source, All Things, Annihilation Chapter."

"When the small world reaches the Annihilation Stage, all things perish, and so does the universe."

"The birth of the Desolate Territory signifies that our universe is moving from the Myriad Phenomena Stage to the Annihilation Stage."

"You should know that the Xuanling Star Domain is part of the Ancient River World Region."

Zhao Xing nodded, watching Gu Luo River draw a map of the universe.

"The spiritual energy gushing forth from the Void River formed a brilliant civilization of cultivators, with numerous spiritual energy territories rising up around this great river."

"During the Five Emperors Era, the Xuanling Star Domain was much larger than it is now. In fact, when we talk about the Five Emperors unifying the Human Race's territory, we are referring to the entire Ancient River World Region, not just the Xuanling Star Domain."

Zhao Xing's pupils contracted. He saw that the map drawn by the Gu Luo River was ten thousand times larger than it was now. Could it be that his understanding in his previous life was wrong?

In his understanding, the Xuanling Star Domain was just one of many territories, and the Ancient River World Region should contain many other cultivation civilizations and forces similar to those in the Xuanling Star Domain.

"Senior, could it be that the Ancient River World Region...?"

"Yes." For the first time Gu Luo River's voice showed emotion, tinged with sorrow. "The Ancient River World Region has also decayed along with the development of the universe."

"Since the end of the Five Emperors Era, many Desolate Territory Belt Ancient Luo World Region, cutting off many large and small territories from the Ancient River World Region."

"In the propaganda of various countries and superpowers, the universe is portrayed as having vast territories and abundant spiritual energy."

"In reality, this is simply impossible. Since the universe is about to enter Annihilation Stage, this theory is untenable."

"Therefore, the Xuanling Star Domain is already the largest territory in terms of area, spiritual energy, and life within the Ancient River World Region."

"Our current development of the Si Yue Desolate Territory is merely an attempt to seize resources and spiritual energy from other lost territories of the Ancient River World Region, replenish them in the Xuanling Star Domain, and delay our demise."

Zhao Xing was shocked; this was completely different from what he had imagined.

He had always thought the world was vast and the universe was vast, but what Gu Luo River was saying now was equivalent to a "doomsday theory".

And he couldn't refute it.

Yes, if the formation of the Desolate Territory is a harbinger of the Annihilation Period, then no matter where you go, the Annihilation Chapter will happen.

Zhao Xing stared blankly at the map drawn by the Gu Luo River.

Each miniature territory, separated by Desolate Territory Belt, looks like a section of riverbed exposed from a 'cosmic ocean,' dividing the territory into ponds of varying sizes.

The Xuanling Star Domain is the largest spiritual pool. Opening up the Si Yue Desolate Territory is like drawing water from another pool to delay death.

There are too many theoretical arguments for this, such as why the Great Dao is not visible and the spiritual energy is weak in the Desolate Territory.

For example, why does the Black Heaven Desolate Territory not even have the Dao Manifestation Layer and the Dao Ancient Layer?

For example, why is it becoming increasingly difficult to break through the Reincarnation Realm, and why has the Divine Realm disappeared from history?

This pessimistic view of the end of the universe will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to practitioners.

Of course, those at the Dao Domain Realm with limited lifespans and those at lower levels might not feel anything, since they can live for just as long anyway, so why worry about the world being destroyed in 100 epochs (maybe longer or shorter)?

Will this affect my mining activities at the mining farm?

But for those at a higher level, this might be an urgent matter.

The reason why Gu Luo River did not publicly promote this theory is probably because he did not want to cause panic.

After careful consideration, Zhao Xing realized that the environment had indeed deteriorated since the third era of the Desolate Territory, and later versions even saw the emergence of the Ice Age.

My failure to break through to the Divine Realm might not have been due to a problem with my cultivation, but rather because at that time, it was no longer permissible for a new Divine Realm to emerge.

"No, in later versions, the Divine Realm appeared more and more frequently, and became increasingly powerful. This contradicts Gu Luo River's theory..." Zhao Xing suddenly frowned. "No, perhaps the passage opened, and Divine Realm still exist in other spiritual energy territories, competing for spiritual energy resources? This doesn't necessarily mean Gu Luo River's theory is wrong."

Gu Luo River waited quietly for Zhao Xing to finish processing his thoughts. Only when he sensed that Zhao Xing's emotions had calmed down did he continue, "Did you feel just now that cultivation and effort were meaningless?"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xing shook his head. "That's too far away for me, and I may never see that day. Even so, I don't think it's meaningless; pursuing the end of the Great Dao is itself a kind of meaning."

Gu Luo River looked at Zhao Xing approvingly. "To have such a mindset and sit down with you to discuss the Dao is not an insult to my Dao."

Zhao Xing understood that Gu Luo River was about to formally recount his cultivation path, and perhaps he would hear some secrets he had never heard before.

"When the True Self Faction Boundary Theory framework was established, the sages predicted that the world would eventually be destroyed. Some people were pessimistic, waiting to die, and some even changed their temperament and began to act recklessly, slaughtering an entire star system."

"There are also those who still hold fast to their beliefs, trying to find a way for all living beings to survive." Gu Luo River said firmly, "My Gu Family has existed since the Five Emperors Era, and since then, we have been searching on this path."

"When it came to me, I finally found a path that showed signs of dawn."

"That is, in addition to the Primordial Chapter, origin, myriad phenomena, Annihilation Chapter, there should be a fifth state of the world."

"That is the legendary Eternal Realm!"

The Eternal Realm? Zhao Xing was shocked; some seals deep within his memories seemed to have loosened.

"After the Five Emperors Era ended, with the help of the Great Emperor, I embarked on a path of True Self- cultivation that no one had ever practiced before, namely the Eternal Realm."

"I cannot control the aging of the universe, but I can control the Internal World me."

"When my Internal World Internal World encompasses all the nascent forms of the Great Dao of the universe, it may become powerful enough to exist eternally, thus completing the second creation!"

Gu Luo River looked like he was glowing, and Zhao Xing recalled his experience in the Gu Luo River's Internal World.

Indeed, the life of every plant Internal World the Gu Luo River defies all conventional wisdom.

He inscribed his name in the Source of Life section, and he made the Resilient Vine of ordinary quality grow to the Emperor Lord Level. His Life Great Dao allowed him to comprehend the [Grassman Resurrection].

Everything proves that the way of the Gu Luo River is very different from that of others.

At this moment, Zhao Xing finally understood.

Why is Gu Luo River known as the strongest Demigod?

Because once it becomes a god, theoretically speaking, its Internal World can become the "Eternal Realm," creating a world that exists eternally.

Having no aging period, no possibility of Annihilation Chapter, and the ability to keep the world at any stage, the Gu Luo River thus became an immortal and indestructible entity!

When the Xuanling Star Domain reaches the 100th era of the Desolate Territory, all life will perish. However, if Gu Luo River can possess the Eternal Realm, he can gather all the Profound Spirit Human Race into his Internal World and escape the calamity of the universe's collapse.

The Gu Luo River is essentially a self-contained universe! No, its intention is to create a new universe, to become a creator god!

"The Extreme Star Theory of the Time Faction and the Extreme Land Theory of the Earthly Advantage Faction are not as audacious as the ' Eternal World Theory ' of the True Self Faction," Zhao Xing couldn't help but sigh.

The Red Star Great Emperor takes Gu Luo River with him wherever he goes, and even treats Gu Luo River as an equal. Gu Luo River can make deals with the Divine Realm being like Qing Yuzi, all of which demonstrate Gu Luo River's special status.

He was indeed special, because the Gu Luo River was a potential 'savior'! He was walking a path that was unprecedented in history.

"So the opening of the Si Yue Desolate Territory was not just for the development of the empire, but to provide you, Senior Gu, with a reference." Zhao Xing finally understood why Gu Luo River said that it was related to him.

The emergence of the Layered World Mountain Theory accelerated the development of the Si Yue Desolate Territory, and the discovery of the Spirit Void Source Origin Realm allowed the Gu Luo River to obtain a new model of the Source Origin World Great Dao.

In other words, his Theory of Law not only helped the Ancient Hill of Antiquity, but also indirectly helped the Gu Luo River. For someone of the Gu Luo River's stature, time is of the essence!

"Gu Luo River lived at the same time as the Great Emperor. The Great Emperor became a god and was stronger than Lao Qing, but Gu Luo River did not. He created the Primordial Beginning Realm. Logically speaking, such a person should have become Divine Realm long ago, but he did not. It was not that he could not, but that he had far-reaching ambitions."

"But can he really succeed?" Zhao Xing wondered. If things went according to the Gu Luo River's plan, his ascension to godhood would likely surpass all other Divine Realm. However, the True Self Faction divine-level plants but lacked Divine Realm Agricultural Official —this was his understanding from his previous life. In the version of the Time Divine Tree, there were even rumors that Gu Luo River had died.

Of course, Zhao Xing wasn't entirely skeptical. After all, his greatest achievement in his previous life was merely the path to breaking through to the Divine Realm. Perhaps Gu Luo River really was the savior.

After the discussion, Gu Luo River returned to his original demeanor, indifferent to everything, and his emotions were very stable.

He then brought up a question that Zhao Xing was particularly concerned about, "Now that you have learned the Great Beginning Clone, you should have seen Jin Yan's existence."

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded. "However, I can't sense his exact location."

"Of course you can't sense it," Gu Luo River. "He survived in the Demon Clan Territory only thanks to the protection of the Shadow Sanctum and the Demon Race. Otherwise, his betrayal of the empire would have been enough to kill him many times over."

"If you have the chance in the future, you can try to kill Jin Yan."

"Zuo Qiyu and you, let's see who lives longer."

The Gu Luo River did not allow Zuo Qiyu and Zhao Xing to fight each other, and offered a solution in one word: endure!

If Zuo Qiyu or Zhao Xing fails to True Spirit Tribulation and naturally perishes, then the other person will naturally receive all the power and dominate the Straw Man Great Dao.

Jin Yan was originally younger than Zuo Qiyu, and he also had the idea of enduring it.

Even with the Soul Tear and the tribulation being overcome in place of another, and the True Spirit Tribulation growing stronger, Zuo Qiyu will ultimately die before Jin Yan. Once Zuo Qiyu is dead, he will naturally inherit the throne. Perhaps he can Keep Moving, advancing to Demigod, or even the Divine Realm.

But now that an even younger Zhao Xing has emerged, new variables have arisen.

Zhao Xing is more likely to succeed him.

"Senior Gu, is it possible for Jin Yan to create another person who can create a Great Beginning Clone?" Zhao Xing asked this question.

If Jin Yan were to shirk responsibility and overcrowd this road, thus distributing the burden evenly, then the Straw Man Art would have been a waste of time.

Gu Tianyang is Gu Luo River's older brother, so he should be familiar with this technique.

"Impossible." Gu Luo River gave a negative answer, "Three people can only travel on one road at most."

"Senior Gu, what is the ultimate purpose of the Great Beginning Clone?" Zhao Xing asked the last question.

" In the Great Beginning of the universe, Tribulationless True God," said Gu Luo River. "He probably wanted to use the Straw Man Art to overcome the collapse of the universe. My brother created this method and we arrived at the same goal, but unfortunately, he died too young."

" In the Great Beginning the universe, Tribulationless True God." Even after leaving the palace by the Gu Luo River, Zhao Xing kept repeating these words in his mind. He recalled the notes he had seen in Wei Tianchen's library. "Gu Tianyang, such a monstrous genius, is he really dead?"

"The Eternal Realm that the Gu Luo River spoke of... I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before."

Zhao Xing's memory palace dazed for a moment, and he involuntarily arrived at the depths of his memory, where there was a door, a dog licking noodles, a chicken pecking at rice, and a lamp burning a lock.

"Still can't push it open..." Zhao Xing muttered to himself as he stood before the palace gate, "The memory seal I set up when I left the Profound Yellow World... is this still the Origin Seal Art I set up?"
