Dao Brother, You Have to Believe Me! I Really Am from the Celestial Timing Faction!
!
The fifth level has only nine floating islands. Bai Han Venerable has placed them in this level of the Dharma Realm, and their power to Hou Transformation is several times stronger than that of the forty-nine islands in the fourth level.
Palace Master Ji Xia and Zhao Xing landed together on the edge of Crescent Moon Island, they immediately felt the pressure.
"Hiss hiss hiss~" The black soil of Crescent Moon Island crystallized on a large scale, then shattered into gravel. A layer of ground suddenly disappeared, turning into gas and rising into the clouds.
"Crack crack crack~" Originally, Zhao Xing was using the Heart Dragon Transformation, but now the crystal scales have cracked.
Even if it is covered with a layer of blue and white porcelain, the Azure Flower Mana is consumed in great quantities. Assuming it walks in the form of the Heartmind Emperor Dragon, it can only last for more than ten days at most.
As for the Great Beginning Clone? The Hou Transformation affected the entire floating island. Not only living beings, but also non-living beings were oppressed. Only the ten strongest avatars could withstand it, while the rest cracked as soon as they were released from ordinary storage rings.
"Goulong Transformation!" Zhao Xing immediately switched forms and unleashed the All Dragons Transformation. The dragon scales swirled and changed like flowing water, turning into an earthy yellow color.
Its form also shrank rapidly, the scales became more tightly packed together, and a bluish light appeared covering it, with a bead appearing on its forehead.
Julong excels at defense, a passive defense where every inch of his flesh and blood is incredibly tough and his body structure is extremely stable. Once he switches, he is no longer afraid of the Hou Transformation of the fifth level.
"Hmm? What race is this?" Palace Master Ji Xia watched Zhao Xing's transformation with great interest. "The two Great Dao Origin of Earth and Wood have merged into his physical body, allowing him to withstand the fifth Hou Transformation any additional talent."
Palace Master Ji Xia was still in the form of the Moon Spirit Cat, but he had also burned a layer of flame to resist the fifth level of Hou Transformation, and could not rely on his physical body to withstand it.
"The Dragon Race of my Great Zhou," Zhao Xing explained.
"The Dragon Race?" Palace Master Ji Xia nodded slightly. "On this trip, I must visit your home dynasty."
"If the Palace Master comes, I will certainly welcome him with open arms."
After some adjustments, the two quickly adapted to the Hou Transformation environment of the fifth floor.
Palace Master Ji Xia spoke up, "The power of the Crescent Moon Island Hou Transformation has a total of five layers, mainly utilizing the two Great Dao Origin of water and fire. There are two layers of Fire Transformation, two layers of water transformation, and one layer of transformation that is random."
"Not counting the unknown and random fifth change, my magic power, when used to perform the Myriad Spirits Marquis Transformation Art, can probably hold out on this island for about seven years."
"If a battle is to take place, the duration will be even shorter."
He was giving Zhao Xing a heads-up; since they were traveling together, they should naturally have a general idea of each other's strengths.
Although Zhao Xing's Hou Bian Method is infinitely varied, it is ultimately the same as the "Myriad Spirits Marquis Transformation Art" of the Four Seasons Palace, only with many different templates.
The Demon Ape Transformation, Divine Feather Transformation, Rock God Transformation, All Dragons Transformation... are all derived from the changes of the four seasons and the Heavenly Timing terms of the Great Cosmic Seasons.
The advantage is that it is easy and quick to switch back. You only need to adjust the body's five elements and four seasons to switch back quickly and without harm.
Palace Master Ji Xia had assumed Zhao Xing would last a shorter time than him, but Zhao Xing's answer exceeded his expectations:
"Without fighting, my magic power can maintain the Marquis Transformation State at the fifth level for about thirty years."
"Thirty years?" Palace Master Ji Xia was stunned. That was more than four times his own!
In reality, Zhao Xing was being modest. He hadn't factored in the amplification from the Azure Flower Mana and the Red Lotus Mana. Assuming no battle, he could maintain the Hou Bian Method by alternating between the two types of magic, allowing him to survive on the fifth-level floating island for three hundred years. It wouldn't be until three hundred years later that he would exhaust his magic.
Judging solely from his cultivation in the Hou Bian Method, Zhao Xing, who has comprehended over ten thousand Life Dao Diagram in the lower four levels, has already surpassed Palace Master Ji Xia.
Of course, the Palace Master Ji Xia is not the strongest among the Four Seasons Palace in Hou Bian Method; the strongest should be the Ten Thousand Spirits Palace Master.
"Whoosh~"
As they were talking, the dragon and the cat quickly traversed mountains and valleys, arriving at the edge of the core area of the floating island.
They tried to keep their flight altitude as low as possible because the clouds, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning in the sky changed constantly with the seasons, and the higher Hou Transformation.
"This seems to be the place." The Moon Spirit Cat suddenly stopped on a hill, its fluffy head looking around.
"There seems to be an unusual fluctuation, different from the current Hou Transformation pattern, but it is very weak."
Zhao Xing also sensed that the emergence of the Ancient Cultivation Artifact could interfere with the Hou Transformation on the fifth layer of the floating island.
However, it is difficult to detect this abnormality from the drastic Hou Transformation in the fifth floating island.
On the fifth floating island, Hou Transformation's power is comparable to that of a late-stage Emperor Lord Level. Those who come up here are essentially fighting against a late-stage Emperor Lord Level at all times.
Even Palace Master Ji Xia was unsure how to be distracted by such a slight abnormal fluctuation during such an intense battle.
Zhao Xing closed his eyes to sense the situation, then said, "Please, Palace Master, hold off Hou Transformation for a moment."
"Alright." The Moon Spirit Cat waved its paw, and a beam of moonlight fell, accompanied by the brightening of the moonlight and a gentle spring breeze, swirling and surrounding Zhao Xing's dragon body.
Zhao Xing immediately switched to the Heartmind Emperor Dragon form, and then his mental power spread throughout the entire floating island.
The entire floating Hou Transformation fluctuating like the boiling sea, and beneath the sea, a point of light was emitting fluctuations that were constantly spreading.
"It's in there!" Zhao Xing pointed to a green barrier of air to the south of the floating island, less than 10,000 miles away from them.
"Walk!"
The dragon and the cat quickly rushed into the miasma.
The miasma swamp is a toxic, obstructive atmosphere created by the Hou Transformation of heaven and earth, which mixes the vital energy of all living things on the floating island.
Upon entering the poison barrier, Zhao Xing and Palace Master Ji Xia slowed down as they had to resist the invasion of the poison barrier, just like the Rain Water pills in the First Stage.
After half a day, Palace Master Ji Xia became excited.
"Found it!"
Even without Zhao Xing's guidance, Palace Master Ji Xia herself discovered the existence of the Ancient Cultivation Artifact, because Golden Light shone through the mist ahead, and the outline of the artifact could be seen with the naked eye!
"Meow!" Palace Master Ji Xia excitedly tried to rush forward, but Zhao Xing held him down with his dragon claw. "Palace Master, there are still experts here, don't be impulsive."
In Zhao Xing's mental perception, eight figures appeared in the Golden Light mist, all of them closer than the others.
Further away, there seemed to be others lurking, hoping to reap the benefits.
"Zhao Xing, who's there?"
"I don't know him." Zhao Xing activated Mind Watch, allowing Palace Master Ji Xia to share his mental vision.
"I recognize two of them." After gaining visibility, Palace Master Ji Xia immediately recognized the eight figures in the mist. "It's Juan and Bo Qiu inside... We're a step too late."
The Golden Light that appeared in the poisonous barrier was emanating from a small bronze cauldron, which cleared away part of the poisonous gas area, making the view brighter.
However, there are eight entities surrounding the small bronze cauldron.
Juan of the Carlos Family, Bo Qiu the Horned Abyss Snake, and six others whom I don't recognize but who are traveling together, are all at the late stage of the Emperor Lord Realm.
The three groups seemed to arrive at the same time, and none of them dared to make the first move to snatch the bronze cauldron.
"I'm afraid there's no hope of obtaining the magical artifact." Palace Master Ji Xia shook her head.
Although the Horned Abyss Snake is in the late stage of the Emperor Lord Realm, it is exceptionally talented, and its Mind Abyss can be regarded as the peak ability of the Emperor Lord Realm.
The six Emperor Lord Realm in their later stages formed a well-balanced team, and their strength should not be underestimated.
Juan Carlos, on the other hand, is a martial artist at the peak of the Emperor Lord Realm level, able to ignore the fifth level 'Hou Transformation and poison barrier with his physical body alone. He is one of the four strongest individuals, having lived on the fifth level for a long time.
Palace Master Ji Xia was only at the late stage of the Emperor Lord Realm, and even with Zhao Xing, it was impossible for them to defeat these people.
Even if some people are in the imperial camp, when interests are at stake, what does it matter which camp they belong to? If they really run into each other, they'll probably die even faster.
"Yes, there's not much hope left," Zhao Xing said.
Despite their words, neither of them left immediately.
It's acceptable to observe from a safe distance without attempting to steal anything.
What if there's a chance? That's a magical artifact even stronger than Peak-Grade Reincarnation Dao Soldier. Who wouldn't want it?
"Juan! You already have three magical artifacts!" Bo Qiu, still shrouded in Black Robe, stared at Juan. "You are Qi Sect Martial Practitioner, why bother fighting for these external things? Why not give them to me? I'll owe you a favor."
Juan had a buzz cut and wore very ordinary Hemp Garb, looking completely harmless. But with him there, no one dared to make a move.
Hearing Bo Qiu's words, Juan glanced at him indifferently. "You're not even human, what favors do you have? I don't lack them, but I won't give them to you."
"You!" Bo Qiu was furious. Among those present, only Juan could see through his true form at a glance.
Therefore, he was very wary and dared not take the initiative to snatch it.
"Brother Hu An." Among the six people in the group south of the cauldron, a physician Emperor Lord Realm spoke up, "I am Zhong Qi from the Great Purity Palace. Since you don't lack anything, we are willing to offer one million Profound Spirit Ancient Coin to ask you to withdraw from the competition. After you leave, we will give you another 500,000 Profound Spirit Ancient Coin."
"Great Purity Palace is a top-tier medical institution with a considerable reputation. With such a high bid, it seems to be a top-grade magic artifact." Palace Master Ji Xia was somewhat excited.
Peak-Grade Reincarnation Dao Soldier are rarely sold for even a million Profound Spirit Ancient Coin, but Zhong Qi of the Great Purity Palace was willing to pay so much, which clearly shows that he recognized the value of the bronze cauldron.
"Could this magical artifact be the one I saw before?" Zhao Xing's gaze penetrated the fog, trying to see clearly.
In his previous life Ancient Hill of Antiquity had disposed of a batch of Ancient Cultivation Artifact at its own auction. Zhao Xing's cultivation level was not high at the time, but he still joined in the fun and saw them for himself.
This bronze cauldron looks just like the ones he's seen before.
"Change!"
Zhao Xing changed his form again, transforming into an imperial dragon with a thousand compound eyes. He finally saw through the layers of Misty Dao Obstacle and clearly saw the appearance of the bronze cauldron.
Inside the bronze cauldron, a thin layer of pure yellow gas was visible.
"It really is it, the Yin-Yang Two Elements Cauldron that nurtured the primordial Heaven and Earth Mother Qi!"
Zhao Xing immediately understood its value.
As Demigod of the Time Faction, Bai Han Venerable is skilled in the Hou Bian Method Hou Bian Method and also adept at using it to collect the essence of heaven and earth.
The Time Faction is, in essence, also the Agricultural Official. As Demigod Farmer on a cross- Realm Ship, they also know how to farm.
The bronze tripod itself is not important; what is precious is the Heaven and Earth Mother Qi contained within it!
That was the essence of the six elements of heaven and earth gathered over countless years, enough to cause a great transformation in the true spirit and elevate one's Daoist realm to a higher level.
The key point is that absorbing it can allow you to skip one True Spirit Tribulation!
Assuming that the Horned Abyss Snake Bo Qiu, which has survived three True Spirit Tribulation, absorbed it, it would be equivalent to surviving a fourth True Spirit Tribulation, and its innate secret techniques would be further perfected.
Seeing this, Zhao Xing was also tempted.
At this moment, the Two Elements Cauldron contains more Heaven and Earth Mother Qi than it did at the auction, at least three portions!
That's enough for him and Palace Master Ji Xia to take the risk.
"Palace Master Ji Xia, let's pull off a heist."
"Huh? Zhao Xing, this is no joke..."
"There are three portions of the Heaven and Earth Mother Qi inside the cauldron."
"What? How did you determine that...?"
"Confirmed, Senior Gu Luo River once..."
As the Emperor Lord Realm of the Time Faction, the Palace Master Ji Xia naturally knew that there was the Heaven and Earth Mother Qi inside the cauldron, and his eyes immediately lit up.
"Okay, if Juan really backs out, then I'll do it!"
Juan Carlos was at the peak of the Emperor Lord Realm level and steadily passed through five True Spirit Tribulation.
The others, including Palace Master Ji Xia, had only survived three True Spirit Tribulation.
Zhong Qi did survive the fourth True Spirit Tribulation and could be considered to have reached the peak of the Emperor Lord Realm, but he was a physician and his combat power was not even as strong as that of the talented Third Tribulation Emperor Lord Realm Bo Qiu.
If Juan withdraws, Zhao Xing and Palace Master Ji Xia will have a chance to compete for the position.
"Whoosh~"
A ring flew toward Juan. He glanced at it and nodded. "Alright, Zhong Qi, I'll do you a favor."
After saying that, Juan soared into the sky and actually left Crescent Moon Island.
"They really left. Why didn't the people from the Great Purity Hall ask Hu An to fight the Horned Abyss Snake? Could it be a trap?" Zhao Xing was somewhat suspicious.
"Please ask Juan for help. If it's money, they can't afford the price. And if it's a favor, Zhong Qi doesn't have that kind of nerve." Palace Master Ji Xia was very excited.
"Zhao Xing, you go and distract the Horned Abyss Snake, I'll seize the cauldron!"
Without much time to think, the two immediately took action.
"Boom~~"
The moment he saw Juan retreat, Bo Qiu suddenly burst open his robes, revealing his true form, and activated the Mind Abyss to envelop the six Emperor Lord Realm, including Zhong Qi.
This caused the group of six, who had grown closer due to their transaction with Juan, to freeze in place for a moment, while the Horned Abyss Snake exhaled a breath of black gas that swept towards the Two Elements Cauldron.
"Awakening Spirit Needles!"
Six golden needles immediately flew out of Zhong Qi's blue pouch and pierced into the heads of himself and his teammates.
The effects of the Mind Abyss were immediately weakened by more than half.
"The Sword World!"
"Five-Flower Severing Realm!"
Immediately, a Mechanism Master and a swordsman from the group took action.
The Sword World enveloped the Horned Abyss Snake, while the Mechanism Master hurled five Daoist soldiers with long, sharp spikes, resembling chrysanthemums, which then enveloped the bronze cauldron.
The five spatial weapons immediately blocked the black energy from entering, causing the space to distort and overlap, as if it were being enveloped.
The Horned Abyss Snake had swum for tens of thousands of miles, yet it had already stopped in its tracks.
"You bastard!"
Bo Qiu was furious. Ever since his true identity was revealed, he felt like he was being targeted. These people were clearly on guard.
"Big, big, big!" More of Bo Qiu's serpentine body emerged from the New Divine Abyss, coiling up and turning its pupils completely black.
He focused his attacks on the Sword Dao Emperor Lord Realm and the Mechanism Emperor Lord Realm using his mental power.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!" A flaw appeared in the Sword World, and only one percent of the sword energy landed on Bo Qiu.
"Crackling sounds" The five mechanical weapons that were in operation ultimately failed to close completely, leaving a small opening.
The two sides clashed, and the scales of victory tipped in favor of the Horned Abyss Snake once again.
"Hold head high!!"
However, at that moment, Bo Qiu discovered a familiar roar suddenly resounding within his Mind Abyss Domain.
Immediately afterwards, a beam of moonlight shot out from the poisonous barrier and swept across the battlefield at lightning speed.
After transforming into the Moon Spirit Cat, the Palace Master Ji Xia arrived at an incredible speed, swallowing the bronze cauldron whole, and then gracefully departing.
After transforming, Palace Master Ji Xia's greatest strength is speed; she is arguably the fastest among everyone present.
"Damn it! Stop him!" Zhong Qi exclaimed in alarm.
Whoosh whoosh!
A barrage of divine needles pursued, and mechanical soldiers quickly formed a pocket formation in front of the Moon Spirit Cat, attempting to devour Moon Spirit Cat.
"Clang!"
With a nimble leap, Moon Spirit Cat seized the opportunity and immediately turned back at an even faster speed than when he came.
"Bang!"
A cloud of mist burst open, Moon Spirit Cat's figure vanished instantly, leaping out of the encirclement once more.
"Such agile movements!" Zhao Xing stood in the mist, not directly participating in the battle, but he was also amazed by the Palace Master Ji Xia's actions.
As the body and bloodline of the Moon Spirit Cat, Palace Master Ji Xia can still use the Celestial Timing Cloud Art to traverse space, truly befitting a senior who has cultivated for countless years.
When Zhao Xing transforms into the Heartmind Emperor Dragon, he cannot use spells in human form unless he transforms into a demonic ape.
However, the bloodline and form of the Demon Ape are closer to those of Human Race, while the life structure of the Moon Spirit Cat and Human Race is completely different.
"What are you all standing there for? Let's go!"
The Moon Spirit Cat darted above the dragon's horn, its claws gripping Zhao Xing's horn. A mist enveloped its entire body as it darted away once more.
"Whoosh!"
Before the attacks from the Horned Abyss Snake and Zhong Qi arrived, the cat and the dragon disappeared from their spot.
"Boom!"
The moment the two disappeared, lava was blasted out of the earth.
"Aaaaah, you idiots!" Bo Qiu roared angrily as he chased after Zhao Xing and Palace Master Ji Xia.
To the south of Crescent Moon Island, there is a mountain peak.
"Buzz~"
Suddenly, cloud energy emerged from the void, and then a dragon and a cat were launched like cannonballs and crashed into the ground.
"Ugh~"
Moon Spirit Cat spat out the small cauldron from the pit, its entire body steaming. "My god, this cauldron is so heavy, it almost killed me... Zhao Xing, my mana is almost depleted, I'll leave the rest to you..."
Moon Spirit Cat reverted to human form and fell asleep with a thud.
The masterful maneuver resulted in severe exhaustion. The Palace Master Ji Xia was no longer able to maintain the Hou Transformation and collapsed into a coma.
Zhao Xing quickly protected Palace Master Ji Xia.
"Leave the rest to me."
He quickly put away the bronze cauldron, and then turned his back to the Palace Master Ji Xia and tried to leave.
"Shuashua~~"
Just then, a figure dressed in Hemp Garb suddenly appeared in the sky.
It was Juan who had gone and returned!
"The Palace Master Ji Xia of the Four Seasons Palace".
"Then you must be Zhao Xing from the Primordial Beginning Realm."
"This looks quite novel."
Zhao Xing wanted to take off, but Hu An's military boots simply stepped on the ground and the space seemed to freeze, making it difficult for him to move.
"Stop struggling. For the sake of the Gu Luo River, I will spare your life. Hand over the magical artifacts and other valuables."
The Carlos Family really knows how to do business; they want money and goods. They've already taken advantage of Zhongli, and now they're taking advantage of Zhao Xing.
"Senior, I am willing to hand it over." Zhao Xing immediately spat out the Two Elements Cauldron and took out a High-Grade Reincarnation Dao Soldier from his ordinary storage ring.
"As you know, senior, I cannot open my Internal World or World Ring due to the rules governing the operation of the Dharma Realm on the Extreme Star Floating Island. Everything I have is here."
Juan showed no intention of stepping aside. "That's too little. You're very wealthy; this doesn't match your status."
"Boom!"
Zhao Xing didn't waste any words. He immediately threw the Two Elements Cauldron and the Reincarnation Dao Soldier into the distance, and at the same time switched to human form and activated the No Distance Teleportation.
Juan Carlos grabbed at the Two Elements Cauldron and the High-Grade Reincarnation Dao Soldier that had been thrown into the air with one hand, and at Zhao Xing with the other.
"Bang!"
Zhao Xing was crushed, and the materials scattered all over the ground.
"The Great Beginning Clone's No Distance Teleportation..."
Juan understood that Zhao Xing had run away.
There were hundreds of thousands of floating islands on the lower level, and he didn't know where Zhao Xing had been teleported to, so he could only give up.
Of course, this was also because Zhao Xing threw the Two Elements Cauldron, which distracted Hu An.
"So be it." The Great Beginning Clone was inherently difficult to capture and kill. Now that Juan had the treasure in hand, he didn't bother with it anymore. Let it go if it's gone.
He glanced at the small cauldron, which was empty, and casually tossed the Two Elements Cauldron into his storage ring.
Zhao Xing's figure appeared on Toothstone Island.
However, as soon as he regained his footing, he immediately activated the second No Distance Teleportation and appeared on Sea Star Island.
"The Carlos Family is Human Fruit insidious; he didn't leave at all, but instead kept an eye on everyone."
"Fortunately, I also anticipated his prediction."
Inside Zhao Xing's dantian, there were four very heavy strands of dark yellow essence.
He had already taken away the four strands of the Heaven and Earth Mother Qi in advance.
"Palace Master Ji Xia".
Zhao Xing channeled his Azure Flower Mana into Palace Master Ji Xia's body to help him recover.
"What was the result?"
After waking up, Palace Master Ji Xia was still panting like a dog, exhausted, but she was still concerned about the outcome.
"The plan succeeded. Juan did indeed seize it, but he didn't kill us immediately. We've obtained the Heaven and Earth Mother Qi."
"Good, good, good! Cough cough..." Palace Master Ji Xia laughed heartily, but her body soon trembled violently, and various parts of her body began to disintegrate to varying degrees.
"Palace Master, please rest for a while." Zhao Xing continued to channel Azure Flower Mana to him to restore his health.
"Alright, I'll rest first..." Palace Master Ji Xia stopped trying to be strong. Since coming to Extreme Star Floating Island, he had never been healthy. He was either injured or on his way to being injured.
"Heaven and Earth Mother Qi."
Zhao Xing then examined the Heaven and Earth Mother Qi within his body. It was incredibly thick, as if countless essences of heaven and earth had condensed over countless years. Looking at it, he felt his true spirit invigorated.
"I haven't even survived a True Spirit Tribulation yet, absorbing it now would be too wasteful," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
The Heaven and Earth Mother Qi can seize the original creation of Heaven and Earth, allowing one to skip a True Spirit Tribulation.
The Emperor Lord Realm underwent Nine Tribulations to become Demigod.
Except for the True Spirit Tribulation that led to becoming Demigod, the Heaven and Earth Mother Qi can take effect in any tribulation.
"The True Spirit Tribulation is getting stronger with each iteration. It would be too wasteful to use it here. It should be used for the seventh and eighth tribulations to maximize the benefits."
Its value is immeasurable; even a Seven Tribulations Emperor Lord Realm would be willing to offer his entire fortune if it were for sale. Because it truly can save lives, granting one an extra lifetime!
For the rest of the time, Zhao Xing and Palace Master Ji Xia quietly recuperated on Sea Star Island.
After the Palace Master Ji Xia recovered, she did not mention the Heaven and Earth Mother Qi to the Black Sea Emperor Lord and the Emperor Lord Xu Xing.
Money can be a powerful motivator, and he couldn't be sure these two wouldn't have some wicked intentions.
But he trusted Zhao Xing and received treatment right under Zhao Xing's nose; this was the effect of his reputation.
As time passed, the struggle on Crescent Moon Island soon came to an end.
Three years later, Zhao Xing was watching the movements of the fifth floating island.
"It's very dangerous to try to reach the fifth level or to study other floating islands. The only hope might be with Chixiao Emperor Lord."
There are nine floating islands, four of which have owners, and on the other one, there is a monster version of the Emperor Tianwu.
The other four islands are also difficult to focus on for enlightenment, because people come to the island from time to time and may be killed while trying to comprehend the truth.
"When I was in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, I once approached Chixiao Emperor Lord. I wonder if he will agree to let me go and study this..."
Having learned from Wei Tianchen's example, Zhao Xing is now much more obedient.
"We still need to make contact. I have the Great Beginning Clone. I can't defeat Chixiao Emperor Lord, but I should be able to escape."
"If I don't climb to the fifth floating island to comprehend the Dao diagram, I won't be able to contend with the other Emperor Lord Level powerhouses, let alone climb to the sixth level and pass the test."
Three years later, Zhao Xing left Sea Star Island and ventured to Chixiao Island, one of the nine floating islands on the fifth level.
"Boom!"
Chixiao Island was shrouded in golden clouds, making it a cloud island in the entirety. Even the lower half of the island was enveloped in golden clouds, making it look more like a sphere than an island.
The surface of the clouds was adorned with mysterious patterns formed by lightning and Void Wind, and the terrifying fluctuations made people hesitant to approach. It was clear that the owner of this island was not someone to be trifled with.
"According to the Black Sea Emperor Lord and the Emperor Lord Xu Xing, the only people who dare to explore the fifth level of Chixiao Island are Juan, Sword Lord Ye Liuxin, and the mysterious person."
"Chixiao Emperor Lord has never been to any other islands. He has focused on comprehending the Dao on this island. He has not even participated in the competition for magical artifacts when they were created."
Clearly, Chixiao Emperor Lord has grand ambitions. He disdains using any magical artifacts; his only target is the three floating islands on the sixth level.
"An old friend has come to visit. I would like to request an audience with the Chixiao Emperor Lord."
Zhao Xing blew a gust of wind, which landed on the surface of the clouds on Chixiao Island, and kept calling out softly.
Inside the island, in an elegant and refined pavilion, Chixiao Emperor Lord sat cross-legged, facing a stone tablet in front of him.
Upon hearing the commotion outside, Chixiao Emperor Lord suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of lightning appearing in them, and memories rapidly surfaced in his mind.
The final scene freezes on a moment from ten thousand years ago in the Time Cabin of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom.
"Tianning Zi..."
The Chixiao Emperor Lord pointed his finger, and a hole appeared in the clouds, from which Golden Light descended, guiding Zhao Xing to his landing.
"Since an old friend has come to visit, please come into the Cloud Pavilion for a chat."
Without hesitation, Zhao Xing immediately followed the cloud path and landed inside the island.
Outside, lightning flashed and the wind howled, but inside, all was quiet.
Zhao Xing looked around. The island was sunny and breezy, with clusters of flowers, trees and plants, and even many pavilions. There was no sign of any Hou Transformation.
"Has the Chixiao Emperor Lord completely conquered the fifth level?" Zhao Xing was shocked. During the Yuanhai Dharma Assembly, among the nine Emperor Lord Realm, Zhao Xing believed that the Chixiao Emperor Lord's strength was inferior to Meng Wu, Wei Tianchen, and even Hong Shan.
But now, when they meet again, it seems that Chixiao Emperor Lord's strength has greatly improved.
When he met the Chixiao Emperor Lord in person, he discovered that the other party had already passed the True Spirit Tribulation six times, which was stronger than Hu An, who had only passed five times.
"Should I call you Zhao Xing, or Tianning Zi?" Chixiao Emperor Lord asked as Zhao Xing landed.
"Brother Chixiao, you may call me whatever you like."
"Hmph, you still dare to come see me." With a cold snort from the Chixiao Emperor Lord, the world suddenly changed color, with howling winds and surging thunder, creating a scene of world destruction.
Nine bolts of lightning struck Zhao Xing directly.
Zhao Xing remained unmoved, seemingly ignoring the attacks.
Seeing this, Chixiao Emperor Lord suddenly withdrew the thunder tongue just as it was about to touch Zhao Xing.
"Aren't you afraid of dying?"
"Brother Dao has no intention of killing me, so what do I have to fear?" Zhao Xing was inwardly panicked, but on the surface he remained calm and composed. He slowly walked into the Cloud Pavilion and sat down in front of Chixiao Emperor Lord.
"Not only am I not afraid of the Emperor Lord Realm, but I also need to ask you, fellow Daoist, for a favor."
"Hahaha? What a joke!" Chixiao Emperor Lord laughed loudly. "You tricked me once last time, and now you want me to help you?"
"Tell me, how do you want me to help you?"
Zhao Xing was so certain because he saw several spells from the Annihilating Star Six Qi Theory on the Chixiao Emperor Lord's panel.
In other words, Chixiao Emperor Lord not only read his own Theory of Law, but also practiced his magic.
The Annihilation Star Theory of Law still left many loose ends. Since the Chixiao Emperor Lord was so interested, not only studying the Jinglun but also practicing magic, he wouldn't kill him immediately.
As long as he had a chance to speak, Zhao Xing believed that there was no one he couldn't handle, including the Agricultural Official.
"I only wish to borrow Brother Chixiao's precious land to cultivate for a few years."
"You and I share common pursuits."
The Chixiao Emperor Lord coldly snorted, "You mean the sixth level of the floating island? Then I should kill you even more. How could I let you become my rival?"
Zhao Xing shook his head. "No, the common pursuit I'm talking about is not the small inheritance of this Bai Han Realm, but the promotion of the Time Faction and the pursuit of the Great Dao of Time."
"Brother Dao, are you aware that the Annihilation Star Theory is not Theory of Law of the Earthly Advantage Faction or the True Self Faction? Its foundation should lie in the Time Faction!"
The Chixiao Emperor Lord remained indifferent. "You didn't say that when you held the Dharma assembly. The Six Qi Theory has chapters on Earthly Advantage Institute and the True Self, but it doesn't have a chapter on the Heavenly Timing!"
Zhao Xing said helplessly, "In the current Xuanling Star Domain, the Earthly Advantage Faction and the True Self Faction have the Ancient Hill of Antiquity and the Primordial Beginning Realm. Even if I want to promote the Great Dao of Time, I am weak and powerless. With these two mountains pressing down on me, there is nothing I can do."
The Chixiao Emperor Lord's expression softened slightly. "So, you truly believe from the bottom of your heart that the Great Dao of Time is the mainstream, the ultimate way to save the world?"
"Of course!" Zhao Xing pulled out an ancient book from his storage ring and slammed it on the table. "Throughout my life, I have been pursuing the existence of the Extreme Star. Joining the Primordial Beginning Realm to cultivate the True Self Faction School of magic, and even the Earthly Advantage Faction School of magic, was all just a roundabout way to seek the Dao."
"Brother Dao, this is the Timeliness Theory from the Annihilating Star Six Qi Theory. This is the true essence. You are the first to see it. Doesn't that prove that we share the same ideals? Doesn't that prove my beliefs?"
Chixiao Emperor Lord desperately wanted to drive Zhao Xing away, not wanting to hear his nonsense, but the words changed at the last minute. He subconsciously picked up the ancient book and flipped through it, asking at the same time, "Am I really the first person to see this?"
"Brother Dao, you must believe me. If I'm lying, Thunderclap!" Zhao Xing said solemnly.
