God's Descent (Final Chapter of This Volume)

When Zhao Xing looked at the nine bone spurs of the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle, three of them immediately emitted three silver runes that surged into his Sea of Consciousness.

"One of the methods for controlling the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle, the [Nine Marsh God], is far more complex than what I comprehended in the first five levels." Zhao Xing immediately focused.

"It not only involves magical power, mental will, true spirit, and physical body, but also the techniques and methods of the Time Faction."

"Only in this way can the [Heavenly Change Law Domain] be formed in harmony with the outside. Once the [Heavenly Change Law Domain] is born, it can activate one-third of the power of the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle."

"If one fully comprehends all three methods, then refine the nine divine needles and insert them into the foundation of one's physical body."

"It can then transform into three forms: ' Nine Marsh God ', ' Rock Star God ', and ' Pu Luo God '."

"All three are Divine Realm?!"

Zhao Xing was somewhat shocked; Hou Bian Method becoming a god was indeed a reality.

However, this also requires mastery of all three methods and activation of all nine divine needles to be the true Heaven-Changing Divine Needle. The Nine Marsh God alone can only activate three core needles.

If all nine bone spurs hadn't taken effect, then after the Hou Transformation, whether it was the Nine Marsh God, the Pu Luo God Rock Star God, they would all only Demigod Realm.

"But it doesn't provide any instructions, so how am I supposed to cultivate?"

Zhao Xing raised his question to Bai Han Venerable.

"Does your era lack any Time Faction cultivation methods that lead to godhood?" Bai Han Venerable retorted.

"No," Zhao Xing shook his head.

"How did you manage to perform the Hou Bian Method if you didn't have the Celestial Timing Mana?" Bai Han Venerable seemed somewhat surprised.

"Times are changing. In this era, Hou Bian Method can be supported by the magic power of the other two schools, while I cultivate all three schools."

"Cultivating all three schools? No, even if it were possible, your Hou Bian Method's power couldn't possibly have reached this level." Bai Han Venerable frowned.

According to the ancient cultivators' classification, based on the Timing, Earthly Advantage, True Self, and one's own nature, the three factions diverged further after breaking through to the Reincarnation Realm.

Even the most basic Mana Chapter is divided into different factions.

The Celestial Timing Mana, Earthly Advantage Method, and True Self Method can amplify spells of the corresponding school. Conversely, if spells are cast with different types of magic, their power will be greatly reduced, or the spells may become unusable or even backfire.

"In terms of the Way of Heavenly Timing, I have not actually reached the realm of Reincarnation, but I have had some unique encounters."

In the Spirit Void Source Origin Realm, Zhao Xing broke through to the Origin Realm and achieved the Dao Domain Realm by sacrificing at the Rain Immortal Festival. He then used various Time Law to replace the Zhou Tian (circular celestial cycle) and thus balanced the cultivation of the three sects.

After that, only the True Self Faction and the Earthly Advantage Faction broke through to the Reincarnation Realm. From the perspective of the Time Faction, Zhao Xing is currently only at the Dao Domain Realm.

However, Fan Qianrou's Heart Sealing Art and Seven-Colored Mana Technique replaced the Celestial Timing Mana.

Therefore, even without the Celestial Timing Mana, Zhao Xing 'Azure Flower Mana is a panacea, which still allows him to balance the three major paths and continue to advance.

"Your Great Dao of Time is not at the Reincarnation Realm, yet you have been able to reach this point. It seems your circumstances are quite unique." A strange light flashed in Bai Han Venerable's eyes. "I do have the Timing Cultivation Method, but after hearing what you said, even my Timing Cultivation Method is not as good as your circumstances. You can continue to comprehend the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle according to your original plan."

Zhao Xing understood. In Bai Han Venerable's era, there were no powerful Timing Cultivation Method.

What he knows is even less than the Heart Sealing Art of Fan Qianrou, the Physician God, a universal secret method for cultivating magical power.

However, he also provided guidance, which was that Zhao Xing could refer to the previous cultivation plan, that is, continue to use the power of Azure Flower Mana, Red Lotus Mana, Vast Ocean Mana as the foundation to support the complete version of the Nine Marsh God's Hou Transformation.

"It seems that even Bai Han Venerable has not fully mastered the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

If he had fully mastered it, Bai Han Venerable wouldn't have asked such a question, nor would he have needed to worry about any Dao Venerable disrupting the inheritance.

The prerequisite for activating a magical artifact is to thoroughly comprehend the complete "Nine Marsh God".

The second point is to unleash the "Nine Marsh God" and resonate with the three magic needles to master the "Heavenly Change Law Domain".

If one is proficient in all three secret techniques of the Hou Transformation, then it is called "The Heavenly Change Divine Domain".

Of course, the test that Bai Han Venerable is giving Zhao Xing only one-third of the knowledge is enough.

"The complete Nine Marsh God." Zhao Xing's Soul Fragment began to comprehend the three silver runes.

Within the Sea of Consciousness, ninety-six divided souls surrounded the three silver runes, analyzing them one by one.

Since I have already comprehended three versions of the Nine Marsh God Dao Diagram on the fifth level, this complete version is just an advancement and I don't need to start comprehending it from scratch.

Having the control panel, Zhao Xing either simply couldn't learn it, or even if he did, he would spend time trying and making mistakes.

At one moment, Zhao Xing's body trembled, and he suddenly saw a hallucination.

From the silver runes, he saw a colossal creature stretching across the heavens and earth.

It was enveloped in Chaos Mist, causing the surrounding spacetime to collapse and reconstruct continuously, with countless suns, moons, and stars revolving with its breath.

Beneath the giant creature were three tiny creatures, similar in size to the giant, though their tinyness was relative to the giant.

"I see." Zhao Xing suddenly realized.

"The Nine Marsh God are Innate God."

"On the fifth floating island, the three Dao diagrams I saw were not the real Nine Marsh God, but rather the three descendants closest to them."

"It seems that Bai Han Venerable did not create those Life Dao Diagram entirely on his own. Instead, he first obtained the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle and then followed the diagrams to capture the descendants who possessed the bloodline of the Nine Marsh God."

Zhao Xing glanced at the panel.

[Hou Bian Method: The Nine Marsh God]

[Note: The Nine Marsh God is Innate God, the "Heaven-Changing Divine Needle," and the "Nine Marsh Marquis Transformation" were created based on the life structure of Him and His descendants, totaling nine layers.]

Current progress: Level 3 (3000/10000)

Without a doubt, this is a god-level technique, because the previous progress limit was 1,000, but now it has become 10,000, just like the Heart Sealing Art.

"Upon reaching the third level, one can wield three of the Dharma implements, which means one has met Bai Han Venerable's requirements."

Although Zhao Xing had not yet used it, he already knew that if he used it again, his body would lose its horns and the form of the three descendants.

Of course, to truly Hou Transformation the Nine Marsh God, one must cultivate to the ninth level and then refine all nine magical artifacts.

"Even if I can wield three magical artifacts now, I can only transform into a descendant of the Nine Marsh God. After transforming, I become three Nine Marsh Descendant, at the Demigod Realm, possessing three powerful innate secret techniques."

Based on his internal biological clock, Zhao Xing estimated that approximately 500 years had passed since he first began to comprehend the teachings.

However, Bai Han Venerable said that the time flow rate in the sixth level is different from that in the first five levels.

Five hundred years have passed, but only 10 years have passed outside.

"The next step is the second step: to use the Nine Marsh God Marquis Transformation Art at the third level to activate the three magical artifacts."

The moment Zhao Xing raised his head, Bai Han Venerable's eyes revealed an expectant look.

"Having grasped the essence in five hundred years, let's begin the second step: attempting to activate the magical artifact?"

"What a prodigy!"

A blue-green halo appeared around Zhao Xing, intertwining with the silver light emitted by the divine needle, gradually condensing into a phantom surrounded by nine Ze patterns.

As the runes merged, the nine ze patterns resonated with the silver light of the divine needle.

The third of the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle began to vibrate violently, and then rapidly shrank.

As for the other six, they also became smaller, but not nearly as much as the changes in the three exclusive ones.

The magic artifact was surrounded by patterns, causing it to shrink in circles. The three bone spurs in the starry sky had already shrunk by half.

But at that moment, Zhao Xing felt a stinging sensation in his mind, and he had a vague premonition of something bad.

"Why did you stop?" Bai Han Venerable asked.

"Senior, the problem remains the same. My mana is insufficient to activate the three magical artifacts, preventing me from forming the Heavenly Change Law Domain and refining them into my body," Zhao Xing said with some regret.

"My foundation is too shallow. In terms of cultivating the Great Dao of Time, I am only at the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm. My unique encounter is not enough to support me in driving such a powerful magic weapon."

Bai Han Venerable nodded and was about to wave his hand when Zhao Xing spoke again.

"However, I have an idea that might be worth trying."

"Tell me about it."

"Please, senior, remove the suppression of the Dharma Realm so that I can unleash the World Projection of the True Self Faction."

"The Heavenly Change Law Domain requires the coordination of internal and external forces. I have all the external conditions, but I lack the [Solar Term Realm Token]. Perhaps I can use my Internal World to support it. Please protect me, senior."

"Oh?" A hint of interest flashed in Bai Han Venerable's eyes. "What do you mean by that?"

Zhao Xing explained, "The Timing Cultivation Method gives birth to the [Solar Term Realm Token]. The Solar Term Realm Token can control the evolution of the Great Cosmic Seasons in a realm."

"In the process of Hou Bian Method, it is the fundamental internal environment necessary for creating the Hou Bian Method."

"The Internal World itself has environmental regulation capabilities, which may enable the internal and external to harmonize."

Bai Han Venerable exclaimed, "The development of your cultivation system is far superior to that of my time. There are so many similarities among the three schools."

"Very well, give it a try." Bai Han Venerable waved his hand, altering the operation of the rules of the Dharma Realm.

Zhao Xing discovered that he could access the Internal World.

"I will protect you. If there is any danger, you must not force yourself to use it, otherwise your physical body will collapse and your true spirit will perish... It would be such a pity to fall at this point," Bai Han Venerable said.

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded.

After freeing himself from the constraints of his Internal World, Zhao Xing spent a long time trying again.

However, he wasn't trying to refine magical artifacts or master the Heavenly Change Law Domain; instead, he was constantly trying to subdue the ' Spirit-Devouring Grass ' within his Internal World.

"Hurry, hurry up!"

"It will be too late if we get caught."

Zhao Xing's true spirit is constantly invading the true spirit of the Spirit-Devouring Grass.

However, the true spirit of the Spirit-Devouring Grass, like a mischievous child, kept jumping up and down, resisting and struggling.

As a Legendary Grade unit, it simply wouldn't accept Zhao Xing's training.

After all, Zhao Xing is currently only Lord Level True Spirit and has not yet survived a True Spirit Tribulation, while it is a naturally powerful Spirit-Devouring Grass.

It was far more powerful than Zhao Xing's true spirit. If it hadn't been suppressed by the Primal Chaos Dao Tower, it would have already killed Zhao Xing.

"What to do?"

With red eyes, Zhao Xing stood anxiously beside the Primordial Sea within his Internal World.

"Once Bai Han Venerable notices something amiss, he will probably take action immediately."

"The only way to deal with him is to completely subdue the Spirit-Devouring Grass and then use the power of the World Opening Divine Stone to bring it to its peak."

"At its peak, the Spirit-Devouring Grass is comparable to Human Race Demigod. Perhaps then it can escape from Bai Han Venerable's clutches."

When the brain experienced its third sharp pain, Zhao Xing finally noticed the abnormality.

He saw the "truth" around him clearly.

He wasn't standing on the Cyan Jade Stone Slab at all, but lying on a stone platform.

Nine fleshy nails were driven into the forehead, abdomen, chest, and limbs of the body.

In that instant of clarity, he saw the true form of Bai Han Venerable.

He lay on the stone platform next to him, his body completely dried up, his hair all gone, and his flesh and skin constantly writhing beneath, with nine fleshy nails also present.

Above Bai Han Venerable's withered body appeared a large, black, phantom dog, its fangs bared, with a Extreme Star floating above its head. Dark Clouds gathered, as if a Heavenly Dog Devouring the Sun was about to occur.

The surrounding environment also transformed into a cave.

Countless specimens were immersed in crystal vessels, including not only Human Race, but also various races that Zhao Xing had seen in the lower five levels, including the Dragon Race from the Profound Yellow World.

Bai Han Venerable displays many skills on the panel.

Two of them particularly caught Zhao Xing's attention.

First is the [Heart Erosion Demon Seed].

Second is [Heavenly Dog Demon Spirit].

The former can Body Snatching another's physical body, while the latter can devour the other's true spirit.

By combining the two, one can fully inherit the target's learning, cultivation talent, and comprehension.

"Bai Han Venerable himself could not master the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle artifact, but through this inheritance test, he selected me, who has the strongest comprehension talent."

"Once I learn it, he will immediately Body Snatching."

"Possessing a body through Body Snatching —this is clearly Demon Minister of Agriculture!"

Zhao Xing knew that he had encountered the real Agricultural Official.

Bai Han Venerable was also skilled in medicine and had him completely under his control.

If it weren't for the sudden sharp pain in his mind, he would still be lost in a hallucination without realizing it.

They thought they were receiving a legacy, inheriting a divine artifact.

If we truly don't know, then all of this is just working for Bai Han Venerable.

Zhao Xing could have refined the three divine needles to make them smaller, but it was precisely because he realized this that he suddenly stopped.

Using the excuse that his magical power could not sustain it, Bai Han Venerable released the suppression of space by the Dharma Realm.

Only by opening up his Internal World could he have a glimmer of hope.

Because he also has the Legendary Grade unit [Spirit-Devouring Grass], as long as he can subdue it.

If we can delay any longer and allow the Spirit-Devouring Grass to absorb the remaining power of the World Opening Divine Stone and grow to the level of Demigod, then there will be hope for survival.

This choice is equally crazy. Even with the suppression of the Primal Chaos Dao Tower, when the Star-Devouring Grass becomes its complete form and reaches the level of Demigod, can he really control it?

However, he had no other choice. Bai Han Venerable's sixth-level space completely isolated the inside from the outside, so even if he wanted to send a message for help through his Great Beginning Clone in the outside world, he couldn't.

"Hurry up!"

Zhao Xing roared inwardly, constantly invading the true spirit of the Spirit-Devouring Grass, but the progress was still very slow.

While stalling for time, Zhao Xing attempted to subdue the Star-Devouring Grass within his Internal World.

As time passed, Bai Han Venerable grew impatient.

"That sword Dao Venerable is relentlessly attacking my cave. His abilities are too strong. I am currently in a living dead state. If it weren't for the protection of the sixth level of the cave, I would probably have been killed by him by now."

"The cave 'Magic Array and the Dharma Realm here are all built around the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle. Once the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle shifts, I should quickly devour Zhao Xing and leave."

"This is a body that cultivates all three schools of Buddhism. I have waited countless years, and finally, an excellent vessel for reincarnation has appeared. Success is the only option; failure is not an option!"

Bai Han Venerable's physical body was decaying, and his true spirit transformed into a cloud of black mist, wrapped in scarlet demonic patterns. The resulting large dog stood on Zhao Xing's stone platform, drooling with desire.

Even those who reach the Demigod Realm still face the True Spirit Tribulation, as seen in the case of Bai Han Venerable.

The calamity has become so powerful that it is impossible to overcome, and it is impossible to avoid it indefinitely through reincarnation or any other means.

When he first began practicing medicine, he evaded the detection of the Great Dao of the Universe by living in a state of the dead, and waited in his cave.

But now the deadline is fast approaching.

"Zhao Xing, how did your attempt go?" In the illusion, Bai Han Venerable still appeared as a powerful figure with a ruddy complexion and an air of otherworldly grace.

"If it doesn't work, your test will be failed, you will not be able to obtain my inheritance, and you will be out of luck with the divine object. You will be thrown out of the inheritance space."

Hearing Bai Han Venerable urging him on, Zhao Xing, though anxious, had to maintain a calm demeanor. "Venerable One, I feel it's about to succeed. Please give me some more time."

"Someone else has reached the sixth level. I can't keep giving you time forever. I can only give you another thousand years at most."

Bai Han Venerable issued an ultimatum.

"If you still haven't succeeded after a thousand years, then you are destined to be without divine possessions."

A thousand years used to feel like an incredibly long time to Zhao Xing.

But now he feels it's not enough.

Judging from the current progress, it is impossible for me to subdue the Spirit-Devouring Grass within a thousand years.

As time drew ever closer, Zhao Xing had no choice but to make one last decision.

"Eat the Spirit-Devouring Grass, and I'll let you go."

"I fed you and gave you your freedom, so please don't kill me."

Zhao Xing threw the World Opening Divine Stone at the Spirit-Devouring Grass.

After years of depletion, the power of the World Opening Divine Stone has become extremely weak.

First, it opened up its Internal World, which underwent many changes, and then a portion of it was absorbed by a god-level Original Seed.

Now that its power has weakened, it is just enough for the Spirit-Devouring Grass to consume without overeating it and killing it.

"Hiss hiss hiss~~~"

The true spirit of the Star-Devouring Grass quieted down.

It's like a naughty child suddenly seeing something delicious, and finally calms down for a while, concentrating on eating.

Its roots grew rapidly, taking root deep within the Boundless Continent, and its nine branches and leaves began to expand rapidly, with the Abyss patterns on the green leaves becoming more obvious and profound.

"Hiss hiss hiss~"

Meteorites and Star Shatter began to fall from the sky above the Boundless Continent. The Void River, which was originally stable, was now in chaos and began to fall violently into the nine leaves.

The Spirit-Devouring Grass is said to devour everything; it accepts anything that comes its way.

Even while consuming the World Opening Divine Stone, it set its sights on the blue Fate Star among the Yin-Yang Nine Stars.

However, the black aura emitted by the leaves quickly retreated as if electrocuted after entering the binary star system.

From that time on, he never set foot in that area again.

"Boom!"

The Primal Chaos Dao Tower also began operating at full speed, intensifying its suppressive power.

About nine hundred years later, the Spirit-Devouring Grass had undergone tremendous changes.

Its entire body was blackish-purple, completely distorting space and time, as if it wanted to escape from the world.

The true spirit's tone is much quieter than before, but this is only an appearance.

Zhao Xing could sense that it was still violent, but it had matured and knew that the Primal Chaos Dao Tower was suppressing it, so struggling would be futile.

"Star Eater, I'll give you food and set you free, please don't attack me..." Zhao Xing kept instilling this thought in him.

It lasted for about a hundred years.

The deadline for Bai Han Venerable is drawing ever closer.

"Zhao Xing, time is almost up."

Bai Han Venerable spoke.

"I'm sorry, but... what are you doing?!"

Bai Han Venerable was suddenly startled and flew into a rage.

The black Heavenly Dog immediately pounced on Zhao Xing's physical body, and at the same time, another black Heavenly Dog appeared in Zhao Xing's Sea of Consciousness.

The Heart Erosion Demon Seed and the Heavenly Dog Demon Spirit, two great secret techniques, are activated simultaneously!

The sunlight above the big dog dimmed, and it swallowed it whole.

That bite seemed to have struck Zhao Xing's very soul.

However, Zhao Xing had more than ninety souls, and the opponent only swallowed one of them, while the rest scattered and fled.

Through the boundless leaps of the Great Beginning Clone, it flashed continuously across this battlefield in the Sea of Consciousness and the Life Palace.

"What kind of magic is this?"

The large dog that Bai Han Venerable had transformed into was somewhat stunned, as he had never seen such a method before.

However, he immediately sensed danger.

The danger comes from outside!

"Boom!"

When the Heavenly Dog from the outside world pounced on Zhao Xing's physical body.

Suddenly, a leaf appeared and covered Zhao Xing's entire body.

A black Abyss appeared on the leaf, and its terrifying attraction forced Bai Han Venerable to abruptly stop in mid-air.

It then quickly ran back to the top of its own body.

"Legendary Grade unit?!" Bai Han Venerable was both shocked and furious. "How could you possibly subdue Legendary Grade unit... You bastard, you're lying to me!"

Zhao Xing was speechless. He didn't need to subdue it at all; the Spirit-Devouring Grass was no longer under his control. He had simply released it!

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

Innate Secret Technique: Nine Abyss Devouring World!

Bai Han Venerable's original body, including the stone platform and the containers holding the specimens, were all instantly destroyed.

Then it spread throughout the entire space, causing the space itself to collapse first and revealing the floating island.

Only the location of the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle remained intact.

Bai Han Venerable was able to avoid being killed by the Spirit-Devouring Grass by hiding around the other six bone spurs.

"Hiss~"

The Spirit-Devouring Grass spread towards the nine divine needles.

It even tried to swallow the needles!

Because the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle, a single piece is only at the level of a magic weapon, not a divine object; only when all nine are combined can it be considered a divine object.

"Delusion!"

Bai Han Venerable roared, and the three needles corresponding to the Pu Luo God emitted a brilliant light, beginning to destroy and absorb the power of the Spirit-Devouring Grass.

The two forces began to contend with each other.

Zhao Xing Xing's breathing stopped.

If even a single leaf of the Star-Devouring Grass were to stray from it and be affected by its terrifying power, it would be reduced to ashes.

"The needle bites the grass, the grass swallows the needle, who will win in the end?"

As a Legendary Grade unit that caused a massive natural disaster in history, the Star-Devouring Grass is undoubtedly powerful.

However, this is the territory that Bai Han Venerable has built up over countless years.

The moment the Spirit-Devouring Grass appeared and wreaked havoc, a terrifying Hou Transformation occurred once again in the entire space.

The mighty flow of water and the emergence of land rebuilt a cave, restoring it to its original appearance.

The Spirit-Devouring Grass Destruction one layer of space, Bai Han Venerable is reborn in another.

Through repeated planting, Bai Han Venerable gradually gained the upper hand in his battle against the Star-Devouring Grass.

"Whoosh!"

The two leaves of the Spirit-Devouring Grass swayed from side to side, as if observing something.

"Pfft~"

The leaf sliced through space, tearing apart the Dharma Realm and revealing a spatial rift.

"Stop!"

Bai Han Venerable was greatly alarmed.

However, as the two forces were locked in a stalemate, space suddenly collapsed, and a sword light tore through layers of space, with three swordsmen surrounded by Bamboo Sword arriving through the air!

The Bamboo Sword Venerable's gaze first fell on Zhao Xing, who was shrouded in leaves and shadows.

He glanced again at the giant dog formed from black mist and the nine divine needles of varying sizes in the sky.

More than four hundred years after arriving here, Bamboo Sword Venerable finally spoke his first words, "No wonder so many have been produced."

Wei Tianchen offered the Dazzling Fire Divine Sword just to capture Zhao Xing. He didn't understand the mission at first and thought it was too much.

But now that he looks at it, he feels that the reward is not high at all.

"Rise!"

The Bamboo Sword Venerable reached out and made a gesture.

Suddenly, Zhao Xing felt a sharp pain in his mind.

A Bamboo Sword suddenly appeared in the Sea of Consciousness the Life Palace.

"Hiss~"

The Bamboo Sword accurately pierced the black dog in its Soul Body form.

Only then did Zhao Xing understand why he felt the stinging sensation.

It turns out that this sword Dao Venerable had hidden a "Heart Sword" in his Life Palace.

Originally isolated by the Dharma Realm, Bamboo Sword Venerable was unable to use his Heart Sword.

But now that he has entered the sixth level, he immediately repelled the black dog that was a manifestation of Bai Han Venerable's mind.

The process of the Heavenly Dog Devouring the Sun was forcibly interrupted, which also prevented the Heavenly Dog Demon Spirit from completing its devouring of Zhao Xing's true spirit.

"The Bamboo Sword Venerable?" Zhao Xing saw the name on the panel but did not recognize the person.

"He didn't come to kill me, he came to save me? Could this be a setup by the Imperial Heavenly Master Manor's Mansion?"

Zhao Xing couldn't guess, but the current outcome undoubtedly gave him a great chance of survival.

Of course, Bamboo Sword Venerable could not allow Bai Han Venerable to tamper with Zhao Xing.

Otherwise, the task cannot be completed.

He was also unable to obtain the Seven Stars Li Fire Divine Sword.

"You're asking for it!"

Bai Han Venerable roared and activated the three Pu Luo God, piercing towards Bamboo Sword Venerable.

The Bamboo Sword Venerable returned his four Bamboo Sword to their places and immediately slashed at the black mist. "The person I want is not for a Demon Minister of Agriculture you to lay your hands on."

"The Three Thousand Sword Realms, appear!"

With the Heart Sword protecting him, the other three Bamboo Sword transformed into countless sword lights, forming a dense sword Dharma Realm that kept the Divine Needle out.

"Break, break, break!"

Bai Han Venerable manipulated three divine needles to pierce through layers of sword barriers.

However, the Sword Realm is full of vitality; however many needles pierce through it, that many more will be generated.

In addition, there's the interference from the Spirit-Devouring Grass.

Bai Han Venerable is essentially fighting against two Demigod.

"Aaaaaah!"

Bai Han Venerable was stung by the sword realm and roared in anger.

At this moment, he felt some regret.

Bai Han Venerable mastered the "Pu Luo God" of the three types of magic, but his body had already withered and decayed.

Moreover, with the tenth True Spirit Tribulation hanging over his head, using his own True Spirit and Dharma Body in conjunction with the Divine Needle Hou Transformation was no different from courting death.

If Body Snatching Zhao Xing earlier, he could have used Zhao Xing's body to insert the three divine needles into his body and perform the "Pu Luo God Transformation".

Therefore, this sword Dao Venerable might not be unable to resolve the situation.

But he was greedy. He wanted to wait until Zhao Xing learned the "Nine Marsh God" before Body Snatching. That way, after Body Snatching, he could use the six needles, which would be a huge improvement! It would also be able to solve the problem of the Bamboo Sword Venerable.

Of course, it's normal for him to be greedy. Over the past four hundred years, Bai Han Venerable has learned about some of the situations in the outside world.

He knew that powerful figures like Emperor Meng Wu were guarding the outside world.

Without sufficient strength or hidden methods, one cannot escape even after leaving the area.

"Is this my tenth ordeal? Am I ultimately unable to escape it?"

Tribulations of the true spirit can take the form of thunderclouds descending from the sky, be karmic tribulations in the dark, or be tribulations of the heart.

Its form varies from person to person, is unknown, and is diverse.

Suppressed by the combined forces of the Spirit-Devouring Grass and the Bamboo Sword Venerable, Bai Han Venerable, who was at a disadvantage, felt his true spirit weakening at an unprecedented rate.

He immediately realized that this was his tenth ordeal.

"After escaping for countless ages, calamity has finally arrived."

"If you don't reach the Divine Realm, you'll all die eventually, hahaha, you'll all die too." Bai Han Venerable laughed maniacally.

"Bang!"

The true spirit in the form of Heavenly Dog was shattered by the Bamboo Sword for the first time, turning into a state of black mist.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Han Venerable condensed again.

Zhao Xing was also terrified.

This person is a staunch Marquis Transformation Faction; even his true spirit has produced an effect similar to Hou Bian Method.

Thanks to the arrangement of the cave dwelling, it was able to repeatedly condense and come back to life.

"The Heavenly Dog Demon Spirit technique is incredibly powerful. It actually lasted so long against Dao Venerable." Zhao Xing was astonished by the power of the Bamboo Sword Venerable, but also surprised by the strength of the Bai Han Venerable.

In the era of Bai Han Venerable, there were many sects, and ancient cultivators had no taboos.

Demonic arts are everywhere, but powerful demonic arts are rare in this day and age.

The super powers joined forces to eliminate those Going Berserk, so naturally they had to ban some demonic arts.

"What a pity."

Seeing that the black mist was gathering at a slower and slower pace, Zhao Xing couldn't help but feel regretful. It seemed that he was unable to extract the cultivation method of the Heavenly Dog Demon Spirit from Bai Han Venerable.

"Bang!"

It took more than 40,000 attempts to annihilate Bai Han Venerable before he was finally destroyed.

"Swish swish~"

When the three Bamboo Sword returned, the Dao Venerable fell silent.

His three Bamboo Sword all developed numerous cracks and dents.

The swords were all damaged before they were finally able to eliminate Bai Han Venerable.

What's the difference between Bai Han Venerable in his weakened state and in his weakened state?

It's simply that we don't have a suitable weapon!

Logically speaking, since the Bamboo Sword Venerable is also Demigod, he shouldn't be this poor.

However, he does not build up any power base; he is a lone swordsman in the universe. In the current situation of the Xuanling Star Domain, there are actually not many ways for him to amass wealth.

He exhausted his entire fortune long ago in order to break through to the Divine Realm.

Fortunately, this time, I will finally be able to obtain a divine sword.

"Swish swish~"

When Bai Han Venerable's demonic spirit exploded, the Spirit-Devouring Grass once again demonstrated its destructive nature.

It collected everything that Bai Han Venerable had dropped, even swallowing the nine needles into the leaf.

Without human control, the nine Heavenly Change Needles are merely magical artifacts.

"Clang!"

The four swords were all aimed at the Spirit-Devouring Grass that was wrapped around Zhao Xing.

"Senior..." Zhao Xing panicked and immediately transmitted his voice, "Senior, this is not my intention. Bai Han Venerable's things Angelica City you, but I cannot control the Spirit-Devouring Grass."

He thought that the Bamboo Sword Venerable was because the Spirit-Devouring Grass had consumed all the life force of the spoils.

"Senior saved me, how could I possibly covet the treasure? It's just that I can't control myself..." Zhao Xing said with a wry smile.

"Who said I came to save you?" the Bamboo Sword Venerable said calmly.

You didn't come to save me?

Zhao Xing was taken aback.

"And who is that senior...?"

The Bamboo Sword Venerable did not answer, but said, "I am not here to kill you, Zhao Xing. You have the Great Beginning Clone. Even for me, it would be troublesome to control your main body and prevent it from escaping."

"So if you don't want to suffer, then you should cooperate with me obediently."

Zhao Xing's heart sank.

He hadn't expected that the Bamboo Sword Venerable had come to capture him.

Who can persuade a Demigod of swordsmanship to join them?

Jin Yan? If he wanted to hire someone, he could just kill him directly; there was no need to capture him. Besides, the best way for him to do it himself was to do it.

The Emperor Xuan Ying of the War God Hall? I only said one sentence for Emperor Lord Fuzhi, it's not that serious.

That's the Demon Race? The Demon Race was scammed by the Karma Scam in the World Transfer Tower, so Demon Race have a reason to take action, but it's a rather far-fetched one.

After much thought, there was only one person who wanted to capture him rather than kill him, and who could afford the price.

Ancient Physician Wei Tianchen!

Thinking about this, Old Master Zhao was completely dumbfounded.

He was actually captured by Wei Tianchen twice.

This guy is so rich, he can do whatever he wants.

"Senior, I will cooperate." Zhao Xing sighed, "But the Spirit-Devouring Grass is truly beyond my control."

"Simple." The Bamboo Sword Venerable unleashed four swords simultaneously, Spirit-Devouring Grass to shrink back into its Internal World.

Once back in its Internal World, the Spirit-Devouring Grass was suppressed by the Primal Chaos Dao Tower again.

However, this guy seemed to have matured a lot and didn't put up much resistance.

Staying in the Internal World, enjoying good food and drink, is much better than being killed by that sword Dao Venerable outside.

In this way, the treasures dropped by Bai Han Venerable, including a set of Heavenly Change Needles, entered Zhao Xing's Internal World.

But the Bamboo Sword Venerable didn't seem to care.

"Senior, how do you want me to cooperate with you?" The Spirit-Devouring Grass shrank back into his body, and Zhao Xing resumed his normal movements. However, he still had nine holes in his body, and the invasion of the Heavenly Dog Demon Spirit into his Sea of Consciousness had caused some damage to his Life Palace.

"Whoosh!"

A Bamboo Sword pierced into Zhao Xing's Life Palace, then split into ninety-six, each hanging above Zhao Xing's head.

"Entering the Bai Han Realm is easy, but leaving is difficult," said Bamboo Sword Venerable. "You'll come out with me."

"After you get out, leave the Annihilating Star Ancient Road immediately."

"If you tip someone off, or No Distance Teleportation... if I sense anything amiss, the Heart Sword will instantly annihilate your entire soul." The Bamboo Sword Venerable offered his kidnapping plan.

"I only care about money, not your life. If you cooperate, and you manage to escape once you're in the employer's hands, that's your skill."

"Okay, I understand." Zhao Xing took a deep breath. "I will do as you say, senior."

With a "whoosh," the Bamboo Sword Venerable cleaved through the void and entered.

At this time, the Dharma Realm lost the support of Bai Han Venerable and was also destroyed by Bamboo Sword Venerable, and the Second Stage, Extreme Star Floating Island, also collapsed rapidly.

Zhao Xing and the disguised Bamboo Sword Venerable quickly left. While the people in the Second Stage were still fleeing for their lives, they had already arrived at the entrance to the Bai Han Realm.

Following the safety passage, they returned to the Qi Tian Base.

After Zhao Xing came out, he first met Ji Si.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, you've finally come out. Your clone said it suddenly couldn't connect to the Bai Han Realm gate, and we were all very worried about your situation."

"I'm fine," Zhao Xing shook his head and said, "Ji Si, I'm going somewhere with the Lord of Lanshan."

"Where to?" Ji Si asked.

"Don't ask where it is, I have important business to attend to." Standing next to Zhao Xing was the Bamboo Sword Venerable, except that he had now transformed into a fat middle-aged man.

"Lord of Lanshan"—that's the disguise of Takeken- Bamboo Sword Venerable.

The Lanshan Dynasty is a small dynasty in the Xuanling Star Domain. It has a short history and is located on the edge of the Desolate Territory, but it can still be considered a formal country.

It can't really be called a disguise, because it was one of the identities of the Bamboo Sword Venerable. It's just that the Bamboo Sword Venerable was too lazy to manage his dynasty, and his territory was even smaller than that of the Beihe Star System.

It was created simply to facilitate accepting and carrying out quests in the Shadow Sanctum.

"Does the Grand Minister of Agriculture have anything to say?" Ji Si instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

This has nothing to do with calculations; it's just a faint feeling arising from being too familiar with Zhao Xing and having such a close connection to his fate.

"No, I'll be back soon," Zhao Xing said.

"Yes." Ji Si nodded and watched Zhao Xing leave.

Zhao Xing experienced over 1,900 years in the Bai Han Realm, but only 400 years had passed in the outside world.

After he left the Annihilating Star Ancient Road and escaped supervision, the Bamboo Sword Venerable took Zhao Xing on a Realm Ship and continuously traveled through the depths of the Void River.

The Bamboo Sword Venerable stood before a bronze mirror shrouded in mist.

Zhao Xing watched from a distance behind him.

The Bamboo Sword Venerable did not restrict his actions, but Zhao Xing did not dare to act rashly.

His intuition told him that the Bamboo Sword Venerable was ruthless and taciturn, and if he really tried to play tricks, he would die a violent death immediately.

"Senior, where are we going?"

The Bamboo Sword Venerable remained silent.

"Senior, may I use the Star Mirror? I don't want to do anything else, I just want to see what has happened in the past four hundred years."

"What ever."

The Bamboo Sword Venerable replied calmly.

Zhao Xing immediately took out the Star Mirror.

His current Star Mirror is a stripped-down version; he can't send messages to others, he can only look at world events.

He wanted to see news from the Star Mirror about the Five Poisons Emperor Lord or the Emperor Hongshan breaking through and becoming Demigod.

But I didn't see it.

Breaking through to Demigod is not something that can be done overnight.

He did see a lot of news about Bowei.

"Since hundreds of years ago, Bowei has been traveling to various places, visiting super powers, holding Dharma assemblies and preaching. The farthest he has gone is even to the territory of the Ten Thousand Rivers Demon Race."

"It seems that the matter of Emperor Lord Fuzhi has not had any impact. Bowei's prestige remains unshakable, and is even growing stronger."

"Um?"

Zhao Xing's Sea of Consciousness suddenly trembled as a wave of memories surged into his mind, causing the Heart Sword within his Sea of Consciousness to tremble as well.

The Bamboo Sword Venerable suddenly turned around and looked over.

"It wasn't me, I didn't do anything!" Zhao Xing said repeatedly.

"I know." Bamboo Sword Venerable looked at Zhao Xing with some surprise. "The Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, the Profound Spirit Assembly... So you were once called Tianning Zi?"

Zhao Xing was startled. "How... how did you know...?"

The Bamboo Sword Venerable gazed into the void. "The Mysterious Spirit History reflects all realms. Just now, it unsealed a piece of history for all the powerhouses above the Four Tribulations Emperor Lord."

The history of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom has actually been partially unsealed?

How could this be? Back then, when several great Divine Realm jointly sealed it, only a small number of people should have retained the right to know. Zhao Xing speculated that most of these were Emperor Lord Realm or Demigod of high rank and power in super forces.

The Bamboo Sword Venerable actually said that it had unsealed all Four Tribulations Emperor Lord and above?

"Strange, you seem to be able to receive it too?" The Bamboo Sword Venerable suddenly looked at Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing did not answer. His eyes were vacant, and Dao Ming flickering image appeared before his eyes.

On the eighth floor of the World Transfer Tower, Bowei held half of the Mysterious Spirit History in his hand, gazing at the nebula vortex on the ceiling.

Within the Omniscience Realm, the figure of the Zhi Xin slowly emerges.

"Bowei, have you thought this through?"

"Teacher, I'm ready," Bowei said firmly, then asked in return, "Teacher, are you ready?"

"If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening," Zhi Xin a smile. "If that place truly is the Ninth Law Realm, remember to burn some paper money for me."

"Click click click~"

After saying that, Zhi Xin's body shattered into pieces, and the fragments fell into the dome like brilliant meteors.

The Academy City's most powerful artifact, the "Omniscience Realm," crumbled at this moment.

Zhi Xin sacrificed himself to pursue the Dao, paving the way for his disciple's final step.

Regardless of whether Bowei can open the legendary Ninth Law Realm, from then on, there will be no more Zhi Xin in the world.

"Teacher, thank you..." Bowei murmured as he watched the brilliant meteor shatter.

He threw half of the Mysterious Spirit History onto the dome.

"Bang!"

In a flash of Golden Light, the pavilions and halls vanished into nothingness.

As the Golden Light stabilized, a staircase appeared before Bowei, and he walked up the golden staircase step by step.

With each step he took, Bowei left a footprint.

There are a total of Eighteenth Level.

First Tier you take reflects the ordeal Bowei went through.

If Zhao Xing were here, he would be speechless with astonishment.

Bai Han Venerable survived the Nine Tribulations to become Demigod, and after countless years of painstaking effort, he died in the tenth tribulation.

Even the Bamboo Sword Venerable had only experienced one more tribulation than him.

However, Bowei miraculously survived eighteen calamities!

This is simply a record for Demigod undergoing tribulation!

As Bowei reached the end, the Golden Light gradually faded.

At the end appeared a Stone Gate engraved with chains, radiating endless coldness.

"Splash!"

The Mysterious Spirit History in his hand kept turning the pages, divine power surged, penetrating deep into the Stone Gate.

Bowei absorbed a tremendous power, and his entire body began to transform.

However, this breakthrough did not bring joy to Bowei; on the contrary, his pupils suddenly dilated and were quickly filled with terror.

"So that's how it is. This is the Ninth Law Realm."

"It's a seal, it's a passage, but it's definitely not a legacy... Hahahaha."

"Teacher... you died for nothing!"

Bowei was enveloped in a blinding white light, and a maniacal smile appeared on his face. As he laughed, a tear rolled down his cheek.

Tears fell, reflecting the scene behind Bowei.

Three Golden Light appeared: a palace master of the Origin Heavenly Palace, the Red Star Great Emperor, and a palace master of the Reincarnation Temple.

From deep within the Stone Gate, a roar emerged.

"Click click click~"

A crack appeared in the icy Stone Gate, and a flash of light disappeared.

"He entrusted it to me." The Palace Master of the Origin Heavenly Palace followed the light and shadow.

"Bowei." The temple master of the Reincarnation Temple spoke coldly, "You killed the previous Grand Elder of the Academy City, sacrificing the Academy City's most precious treasure in exchange for your own attainment of the Divine Realm, thus violating the founding principles of the Academy City."

"Now another Divine Realm is about to break free of their seal because of you. Your crimes will be judged by the Reincarnation Temple. What else do you have to say?"

"Crime?" After the tears disappeared, Bowei turned around, his face indifferent. A pair of emotionless eyes fell on the temple lord who had spoken.

Faced with Bowei's gaze, the latter couldn't help but frown.

"Hall Master Tu Ning, you do not yet have the power to judge me." Bowei slowly walked down the steps, starlight emanating from his fingertips.

"If it weren't for the Emperor's arrival, you alone wouldn't even be qualified to make a single move against me, let alone kill me."

Hall Master Tu Ning continued to look at Bowei coldly, but did not refute him.

Having broken free of his restrictions and become Divine Realm, Bowei was indeed someone he couldn't withstand.

In other words, Bowei has just become a god and his strength is not yet stable. If Bowei is given more time, it will be difficult for anyone to restrain Bowei.

"Bowei." The Red Star Great Emperor flashed and appeared before Hall Master Tu Ning. "Close the World Transfer Tower and return the divine power of the Mysterious Spirit History..."

Zhao Xing rolled his eyes, as if the gloomy scene before him had collapsed with the arrival of the Great Emperor.

He came to his senses somewhat bewildered and happened to see the curious gaze cast upon him by the Bamboo Sword Venerable.

"I'm not usually one to be curious," the Bamboo Sword Venerable said, staring at Zhao Xing. "Could you satisfy my curiosity and tell me what the Mysterious Spirit History told you?"

"No." Zhao Xing shook his head.

He saw Bowei achieve the Divine Realm, as well as a Stone Gate radiating cold energy, and three Divine Realm appear.

But he really couldn't tell the Bamboo Sword Venerable, because this was an encrypted message being transmitted to him by the divine power of the Mysterious Spirit History.

Just like Fan Qianrou's Heart Sealing Art, it cannot be revealed.

Some Daoist weapons and magical artifacts are bound to the soul, and so is their information!

"No?" Bamboo Sword Venerable pondered the implications and nodded slightly. "If it's not possible, then forget it. I'm not that curious anyway."

The two then stopped talking, and silence fell over the Realm Ship.

Zhao Xing knew that at this moment, a storm would definitely be stirred up in a small area of Xuanling Star Domain.

Bowei has reached the Divine Realm, General Knowledge Mirror has shattered... These secrets may not be spread, but the matter of the Profound Spirit Assembly in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom has been unsealed, and this alone is enough to cause a huge uproar.

Those relatives and friends in the cycle of the Reincarnation Realm who were forced to reincarnate or died back then will inevitably demand an explanation after learning about this matter.

Who should we ask? The Dongyan Ancient Clan? They've already wiped them out! Qing Yuzi? The Reincarnation Temple? Do they even have the power to do that?

After much thought, Zhao Xing realized that he was the one most likely to be targeted by the enemy.

"Lao Qing said that if we are destined to meet again in the Third Era, he acted as if I wouldn't live past the Third Era. Did he foresee that this matter would inevitably erupt sooner or later?" Zhao Xing couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.

Bowei becomes a god, Ancient God are released, and the World Transfer Tower is actually some kind of seal or passage.

Is Bowei still alive? Was it him who released this message, or is there another reason?

"The Eighteen Tribulations Venerable has achieved the Divine Realm. Bowei is incredibly powerful this time, but he is actually afraid of the Great Emperor."

"I really don't know how strong the Emperor is."

"The God's Descent version not only came ahead of schedule but also went completely off on a different path, ugh..."

The information he received this time was far beyond Zhao Xing's comprehension. For a moment, Zhao Xing was in a state of utter confusion, his thoughts a jumbled mess.

"Clang!"

The Heart Sword Sea of Consciousness, as if the Bamboo Sword Venerable was helping him stabilize his state of mind.

"Thank you, senior." Zhao Xing took a deep breath and bowed in thanks.

"Don't misunderstand, I just don't want you to die from Going Berserk," the Bamboo Sword Venerable said calmly. "If you die, I won't be able to complete my mission."

Zhao Xing was speechless.

However, the words of the Bamboo Sword Venerable also made him much more sober.

That's true. I'm still in danger, why worry about so many things?

Only those who survive are qualified to explore the secrets of the Divine Realm.

If we can't survive, it's all just empty talk.

"Senior Bamboo Sword, where exactly are we going to meet Wei Tianchen? How much longer?"

Seeing that Zhao Xing had guessed it, Bamboo Sword Venerable did not deny it. "Soon, we will be in the Chenluo Desolate Territory soon."
