A Reunion with Wei Tianchen-Is He Going to the Profound Yellow World?

The Realm Ship hovered in the starry sky, surrounded by floating meteorites, and a black whirlwind slowly blew across the broken crescent moon.

Sensing that the Realm Ship had stopped, Zhao Xing immediately raised his head.

[You have entered the ruins of the Great Ye Dynasty, Star Sleet Pass (coordinates: Solar Yang 3, Fernshade 1, Wood Armor 4.)]

"I never expected Wei Tianchen and Bamboo Sword to trade with me here."

The Star Pass of the Great Ye Dynasty was the first Realm Star dynasty power that Zhao Xing encountered after bringing the Great Zhou out.

At that time, the highest level of guardians, the Nalan uncle and nephew, were only at the Source Origin Realm.

"Things have changed, but people are no longer the same."

Looking at the ruins in the starry sky, Zhao Xing sighed.

After the Dongyan Ancient Clan's sacrificial ceremony, the vassal states of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom were also destroyed, the Great Ye Dynasty ceased to exist, and the Desolate Territory spread further, now becoming a no-man's land.

"I wonder what Wei Tianchen meant by choosing the Chenluo Desolate Territory as the transaction location."

Different Desolate Territory have different "characteristics". The Black Heaven Desolate Territory is a "long night". This "darkness" is not only due to the scarcity of Yin Yang Twin Stars, but also because common exploration by true spirits and detection by mechanisms are difficult to use.

The distinctive feature of the Si Yue Desolate Territory is the abundance of "small worlds," such as various "Source Origin World" and "Nirvana Realm," as well as the largest number of Layered World Mountain.

The Sacred Sea Desolate Territory is chaotic, possessing the most Void River and an Ancient Dao Ocean. The Mirage Alliance was born near the Sacred Sea Desolate Territory.

The characteristics of the Chenluo Desolate Territory are "isolation" and "fall".

Cause and effect are separated, fate is hidden.

The reason why the Dongyan Ancient Clan set up the altar preparations in the Chenluo Desolate Territory was precisely this.

It is very hidden and cannot be predicted by Fate Master.

The falling characteristic is the origin of the name Shen Luo. It was proposed by the Agricultural Official of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity. It is suspected that the Black Heaven Desolate Territory is reflected by the shadow of the Extreme Star, while the Chenluo Desolate Territory is suspected to be pulled down by the Extreme Land.

However, the latter is baseless and is purely Ancient Hill of Antiquity trying to embellish its own theory.

After all, if your Time Faction's Extreme Star can reflect the Desolate Territory, there's no reason why my Ancient Hill of Antiquity's Extreme Land can't influence the Desolate Territory.

In this world, you earn your own identity.

Seeing that Wei Tianchen was about to arrive, Zhao Xing decided to take action to save himself instead of waiting to die.

"Senior Bamboo Sword."

"Don't call me that."

"Yes, Bamboo Sword Venerable." Zhao Xing asked cautiously, "Could you give me a chance?"

The Bamboo Sword Venerable turned his head and listened quietly.

"The reason you captured me is simply because Wei Tianchen offered you a price you couldn't refuse."

"At the level of Venerable, all one seeks is to break through to the Divine Realm."

"I guess you accepted the mission from the Shadow Sanctum, and the bounty should be a Dao Divine Artifact."

The Bamboo Sword Venerable glanced at Zhao Xing: "You seem to know your own worth very well."

"Yes, you guessed exactly right. And then?"

Zhao Xing: "Comprehending the divine artifact does not necessarily lead to a breakthrough. The Venerable One in the Bai Han Realm must have seen this as well. Bai Han Venerable possessed a divine artifact, yet after so many years, he still has not made a breakthrough."

The Bamboo Sword Venerable said calmly, " In the Desolate Territory Era, becoming Divine Realm was nothing more than a search for hope. Apart from a very few exceptionally talented individuals supported by super powers, such as your teacher Gu Luo River, how could anyone claim absolute certainty?"

Zhao Xing pointed to himself. "Suppose what I offer is more valuable than a divine sword Divine Soldier, and it increases your chances of breaking through, would you release me?"

The Bamboo Sword Venerable chuckled lightly, "Are you trying to bribe me?"

Zhao Xing nodded. "Yes."

Bamboo Sword Venerable: "Stop dreaming."

Zhao Xing was taken aback. "Does Your Excellency not even ask about the price I offered? Or does Your Excellency not believe I have the leverage?"

The Bamboo Sword Venerable pondered, "I believe it, but I won't do it."

Zhao Xing asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why?"

The Bamboo Sword Venerable said leisurely, "I am from the Sword Sect. Betrayal will Heart Sword Tarnished."

"Don't show that surprised expression."

"My taking jobs in the Shadow Sanctum does not conflict with my commitment to morality."

Zhao Xing was speechless.

The Bamboo Sword Venerable's way of swordsmanship does not allow him to do anything that is disloyal or treacherous. If he were to do so, he would be completely violating his own principles.

If one's Daoist heart collapses, then there's no point in talking about Attain Dao and Become God.

This is probably why the Bamboo Sword Venerable does not join any faction.

Going to a super power certainly allows you to act like a king, as you don't have to do many things yourself, like Demigod such as the Bamboo Sword Venerable.

If one is willing to serve the empire, obtaining a divine sword Divine Soldier should not be too difficult.

However, after joining, he also had to obey the empire's arrangements and even do some dirty things against his conscience.

With his attempt at bribery blocked, Zhao Xing's heart grew heavy.

To be honest, he really didn't want to fall into Wei Tianchen's hands again; that old pervert was too terrifying.

However, the Bamboo Sword Venerable spoke again, "But I am very interested in what you have said. Assuming that Wei Tianchen does not intend to kill you immediately, I can come and save you again."

"What does Your Excellency mean?"

Bamboo Sword Venerable: "I'll hand you over to him, and the mission will be complete. After that, I can fight him, but of course, you'll have to be able to afford the price."

That makes sense. If the mission is accomplished, then it doesn't count as breaking faith.

Zhao Xing immediately seized the opportunity. "Does Your Excellency know about the Ten Directions Mountain?"

"Certainly."

"If I could obtain the First Hexagram of Ten Directions result for the Venerable One, would it be worth the price?"

The Bamboo Sword Venerable laughed, "Are you daydreaming? Don't even mention the First Hexagram of Ten Directions, after I get the Dazzling Fire Divine Sword, even the number two divination will be enough."

Zhao Xing nodded and said, "Alright, let's do the second divination then."

The smile on Bamboo Sword Venerable's face gradually faded, and he said seriously, "Are you serious?"

"Absolutely true," Zhao Xing said. "The Second Era of the Desolate Territory is about to end, and after entering the Third Era, the Ten Directions Mountain will soon appear in the world."

"You're not Fate Master, how can you help me?"

"I have a Fate Master friend. By working with him, we can find Ten Directions Mountain in advance and ask for divination for the Venerable One."

"That's impossible." Bamboo Sword Venerable shook his head. "The moment Ten Directions Mountain appeared, all Fate Master would sense it, and its location would be determined at that moment, so there is no possibility that it could have been found in advance."

"The timing of anyone's ascent to the mountain and their chance to obtain the Ten Directions Divination are equal."

"Ten Directions Mountain is a mountain," Zhao Xing said.

"Then?"

"I am the Agricultural Official," Zhao Xing said, pointing to himself.

The Bamboo Sword Venerable remained unmoved.

Zhao Xing said helplessly, "Your Excellency may not be very familiar with me. You can look up what contributions I have made in the Si Yue Desolate Territory. It won't take too much of your time."

He noticed that the Bamboo Sword Venerable seemed to have just emerged from seclusion and hadn't been exposed to worldly affairs for a long time; in other words, this guy had just gotten internet access in his village.

It's too much work to explain it myself; it's better to let Bamboo Sword verify it himself.

Without wasting any words, the Bamboo Sword Venerable immediately went to the Star Mirror to find the relevant personnel of the Shadow Sanctum and conducted an in-depth investigation of Zhao Xing.

About half an hour later, he turned around again, looking at Zhao Xing with his eyes, as if re-examining Zhao Xing:

"Dao Tree Writing Books, **and it will live on forever—you actually solved the Layered World Mountain problem."

He had just found a Agricultural Official of the Shadow Sanctum to learn about Zhao Xing's "glorious achievements".

The Bamboo Sword Venerable discovered that Zhao Xing's reputation was unexpectedly high. The Agricultural Official was Eight Tribulation Emperor Lord, yet he also held Zhao Xing in high esteem.

He spoke eloquently about the two Dao Book written by Zhao Xing.

Bamboo Sword had also roughly understood how incredibly important solving the Layered World Mountain problem was for Agricultural Official and his group.

No wonder the Demigod Demigod the Ancient Hill of Antiquity and the Primordial Beginning Realm mobilized when Wei Tianchen first kidnapped Zhao Xing.

Even the Gu Luo River went to rescue them personally.

At that time, Zhao Xing had just broken through to the Dao Domain Realm. The Bamboo Sword Venerable was puzzled as to how a mere Dao Domain Realm cultivator could trouble the Demigod of the Gu Luo River and the Ancient Hill of Antiquity.

He understood as soon as he heard it.

Even the Bamboo Sword Venerable now feels that the bounty offered by Wei Tianchen is not high.

Even sacrificing two divine artifacts to capture Zhao Xing would be justified!

Seeing that the Bamboo Sword Venerable finally understood him, Zhao Xing breathed a sigh of relief, "Venerable Venerable, are you willing to accept this mission?"

The Bamboo Sword Venerable did not answer, but fell into thought.

After that, he didn't mention the matter to Zhao Xing again, but simply waited quietly for Wei Tianchen to arrive.

About six months later, on the Chenluo Desolate Territory, a void vortex appeared out of thin air, White Jade Five Mausoleum Boat, fluttering the Li Emperor Flag, rushed out and approached the Bamboo Sword Realm Ship.

The White Jade Five Mausoleum Boat is Wei Tianchen's personal vessel. This ship houses many of Wei Tianchen's Reincarnation Dharma Body and can be considered his mobile lair.

Zhao Xing boarded this ship back then, and even the Demigod of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity couldn't break through its defenses, so Zhao Xing naturally had a deep impression of it.

"Whoosh~"

The Bamboo Sword Venerable appeared in the void, holding Zhao Xing in his arms.

Soon Wei Tianchen also jumped off the ship.

Wei Tianchen's gaze fell on Zhao Xing's somewhat helpless expression, then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. "Zhao Shennong, it's been a long time."

Zhao Xing remained silent. What was with this overly friendly greeting? Who the hell wanted to see you?!

However, Wei Tianchen did not approach; instead, he was waiting for something.

Soon the void trembled again, and a dark-colored palace emerged from the void.

The palace steps extended, and a man in Black Robe descended.

Upon seeing the Shadow Sanctum and the Black Robe, Wei Tianchen and the Bamboo Sword Venerable approached and ascended the steps together.

Seeing that both parties had arrived, the Black Robe asked routinely, "Ancient Physician, Bamboo Sword, did you bring the documents from the contract?"

"He's here." Bamboo Sword Venerable pushed Zhao Xing forward.

The Black Robe took out a token, cast some kind of spell in the void and swept it over Zhao Xing, then nodded. "Not bad, this is Zhao Xing's true body, and all ninety-six of his divided souls are here, bound by the Heart Sword Art."

"The goods are here."

Wei Tianchen waved his sleeve, Seven Stars Li Fire Sword appeared before him.

However, it didn't resemble a sword; rather, it looked like a gentle flame. Only the faint outline of a sword embryo could be seen within it.

"The Seven Stars Li Fire Divine Sword has been verified." The Black Robe said, "Please exchange weapons."

Wei Tianchen then directly pushed the divine sword to the Bamboo Sword Venerable.

The Bamboo Sword Venerable held the divine sword and then pushed Zhao Xing forward.

Wei Tianchen took out a large, colorful net, which emitted a light, melodious tune and transformed into a square cage.

After Zhao Xing found himself trapped in the net, he was unable to use the No Distance Teleportation Primordial Beginning Straw Man Technique.

He immediately realized that this was probably another divine object.

Thus, the two parties completed the transaction under the auspices of the Shadow Sanctum.

"The mission is complete. You two may leave now."

After the Black Robe watched as the two retreated to a safe distance, the steps retracted, and the Shadow Sanctum disappeared back into the void. At this moment Wei Tianchen and the Bamboo Sword Venerable did not leave immediately.

Although the two were not close friends, they had known each other for a long time.

At this moment, the Bamboo Sword was transmitting its voice to Wei Tianchen.

A moment later, Wei Tianchen's expression became quite interesting. He looked at Zhao Xing and asked, "What benefits did you promise Bamboo Sword that he would actually spare your life?"

Zhao Xing remained silent, unable to discern what Bamboo Sword and Wei Tianchen had discussed.

Wei Tianchen smiled and said, "Zhao Xing, you're really something. You managed to persuade the bamboo Bamboo Sword with just words."

Zhao Xing said calmly, "I wouldn't dare. How could I be as powerful as you? You've survived being wanted by a super-powerful organization until now, and now you've arrested me again."

Wei Tianchen stroked his beard and said, "If you had confessed honestly back then, you wouldn't be in this situation today. However, you've been overthinking things this time; I have no intention of killing you."

Zhao Xing didn't believe a word of it, but Wei Tianchen waved his hand and actually opened the barrier of the Realm Ship, letting the Bamboo Sword Venerable into the ship.

"I will hand over the Bamboo Sword to you safely after I have achieved my goal," Wei Tianchen said.

The Bamboo Sword Venerable nodded slightly. "Besides protecting you in the time to come, I owe you another favor."

Originally, Zhao Xing only wanted the Bamboo Sword Venerable to find an opportunity to rescue him. If that didn't work, he could ask him to notify the Primordial Beginning Realm of the Empire.

Who would have thought it would turn out like this?

Did they really survive so easily?

But thinking about it carefully, Wei Tianchen capturing him doesn't necessarily mean he has to kill him.

Things are different now. I already know the secret of the Seven-Star Dipper Cabinet, and Wei Tianchen is wanted by the authorities, so there is no need to kill him to silence him.

If the goal is achieved, then offering oneself to the Bamboo Sword Venerable as a favor is not out of the question.

Moreover, Bamboo Sword Venerable promised to help protect and uphold it.

Although Wei Tianchen possessed many divine artifacts, he was, after all, a physician, and not particularly skilled in combat, making it inconvenient for him to participate frequently.

Having a Sword Master serving by your side is quite nice.

The Bamboo Sword Venerable didn't care at all. He had just obtained the Seven Stars Li Fire Divine Sword, and since he was going to study it anyway, it didn't matter where he studied it.

Moreover, Wei Tianchen is skilled at hiding, so by going into hiding with him, we won't need to find our own way. We can also gain some opportunities from Ten Directions Mountain through Zhao Xing.

In short, Zhao Xing survived, and both of them benefited, making it a win-win situation.

However, for Zhao Xing, his crisis was not over yet.

Wei Tianchen released him on the condition that his objective was achieved.

But this seems like a very difficult thing to achieve.

"~"

The Bamboo Sword Venerable was on the deck, holding the Seven Stars Li Fire Sword and meditating on it, while Wei Tianchen led Zhao Xing into the ship's interior.

The two sat facing each other, the aroma of tea filling the air.

"Zhao Xing, you should know why I invited you here a second time." Wei Tianchen poured a pot of tea and pushed it towards him.

"Know."

Wei Tianchen pointed outside. "Times have changed. I have no reason to kill you now, especially with the Bamboo Sword Venerable vouching for you."

You can live.

"If you return what rightfully belongs to me, everyone can live in peace, don't you think?"

Zhao Xing asked calmly, "What do you want?"

He needs to see how much Wei Tianchen knows.

Wei Tianchen said, "The unsealing secret method left by Fan Qianrou, her Seven-Star Dipper Cabinet, still has one last layer, which I cannot undo. Since you healed your injuries, your strength has not decreased but increased greatly. If you hadn't obtained Fan Qianrou's secret method, it would have been impossible for you to make such a great leap. I am a physician, and I can sense that your magical power and the aura on the Seven-Star Dipper Cabinet are from the same source."

Upon hearing Wei Tianchen's words, Zhao Xing knew that the matter could no longer be kept secret.

There was no other way; Wei Tianchen was knowledgeable and experienced, and Medical Dao Demigod, so he had survived fourteen tribulations!

While not as exaggerated as Bowei, this was still a top-tier Demigod in the Desolate Territory Era.

It's not so easy to keep it from him.

However, Zhao Xing did not intend to hide it; he planned to tell some of the truth.

"That's right, I did indeed obtain Fan Qianrou's secret technique," Zhao Xing said.

"I want to cooperate with you, but I cannot teach you it. It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't."

"It is Divine Power Restriction, like the laws of heaven and earth, which forbid me from teaching it to others."

Wei Tianchen asked, "Could you tell me the name of the secret technique?"

Zhao Xing said, "I have mastered the basic Mana Chapter of the Heart Sealing Art."

Wei Tianchen flipped his hand, revealing the Seven-Star Dipper Cabinet: "Now that you've mastered it, please open it for me."

Zhao Xing gasped, "I can't open it."

He knew exactly what was inside.

That was the terrifying poison that caused Fan Qianrou's death, the Desolate God Poison.

Even gods are to be poisoned and released?

Seeing Zhao Xing hesitate, Wei Tianchen frowned and said, "You know what's in here, right?"

"Say!"

Zhao Xing's body was bound by the colorful net, and he immediately felt pain.

However, Wei Tianchen quickly released the restraints of the law.

"Don't force me to take action again."

"It is a highly poisonous substance."

"A deadly poison capable of killing Divine Realm."

He wanted to see fear on Wei Tianchen's face, but to his surprise, the other man became even more excited.

"What kind of poison?"

"I can't say."

"What is its purpose?"

"I don't know."

"What exactly did Fan Qianrou tell you?"

"He told me to bring the Seven-Star Dipper Cabinet to the current Divine Emperor, saying that only the Divine Emperor could handle it."

Wei Tianchen's breathing became rapid.

It was obvious that the contents of the Seven-Star Dipper Cabinet were beyond his imagination.

Could someone kill Fan Qianrou, and only the Divine Emperor could handle it?

"I can't open it, I really can't open it," Zhao Xing said. "It's not a method to unseal, but a method to reinforce the seal."

Wei Tianchen believed Zhao Xing's explanation.

If it were truly that powerful, capable of poisoning Divine Realm, then Fan Qianrou would certainly not have allowed someone to unseal such a terrifying poison so easily.

If it were Wei Tianchen himself, he would have made the same arrangements as Fan Qianrou.

Even assuming it were possible, it wouldn't be something Zhao Xing's cultivation level could accomplish.

So things reached a stalemate again.

Zhao Xing possessed secret techniques, but he couldn't open the Seven-Star Dipper Cabinet.

Wei Tianchen was confident that his cultivation foundation was sufficient, but he lacked secret techniques.

The key point is that the Heart Sealing Art cannot be passed on to outsiders.

It is a secret technique similar to soul binding.

After verifying the information, Wei Tianchen quickly began to ponder.

He quickly came up with two solutions.

One option is to break the Divine Power Restriction, making the Heart Sealing Art teachable.

If he can learn it, then there will be hope in finding a way to crack the Seven-Star Dipper Cabinet.

Secondly, we can teach Zhao Xing the complete Heart Sealing Art, making Zhao Xing stronger. With his guidance, there is still hope of breaking the Seven-Star Dipper Cabinet.

There is no absolutely invincible restriction in the world; there is always a way to break it.

Wei Tianchen possesses a divine artifact, so the first option may be achieved in the short term.

The second option is a last resort, and it's also very time-consuming.

Training Zhao Xing also carries significant risks.

The Primordial Beginning Straw Man Technique is incredibly powerful. If Zhao Xing's strength increases, it's hard to say he won't use this technique to escape.

He repeatedly confirmed the details of Zhao Xing's initial contact with the Seven-Star Dipper Cabinet. After a period of silent contemplation, Wei Tianchen had made up his mind.

Zhao Xing was also somewhat uncertain at this moment, as he didn't know what Wei Tianchen would do.

Previously, in the library of White Jade Five Mausoleum Boat, he saw many astonishing statements by Wei Tianchen, such as the Desolate Territory being a disease of heaven and earth, cultivators being parasites, and the Desolate Territory being cured without medicine by killing some parasites on a large scale.

His comments on the Gu brothers were also quite casual.

This clearly shows that Wei Tianchen is definitely the kind of person who doesn't play by the rules and is relentless in achieving his goals.

If Wei Tianchen still can't get what he wants this time, he might very well kill himself in a fit of rage.

Wei Tianchen may not abide by the Bamboo Sword Venerable's agreement.

"Zhao Xing, I remember you ascended from the Chenluo Desolate Territory? Ascending in such a harsh environment must not be easy, you must have suffered a lot."

Wei Tianchen suddenly asked this question, and Zhao Xing didn't expect the topic to change so quickly. How did it suddenly turn from talking about the Seven-Star Dipper Cabinet to asking each other about each other's well-being?

"Yes, I did ascend from the Chenluo Desolate Territory and experienced many hardships," Zhao Xing said.

"I will find a way to lift the Divine Power Restriction on Fan Qianrou so that you can pass on the secret technique to me," Wei Tianchen said.

"Bamboo Sword and I are now wanted. Since we are going to do something big to lift the Divine Power Restriction, the commotion will definitely be significant."

"This means I need a secluded and safe place to do this."

"From now on, Bamboo Sword and I plan to stay in the Chenluo Desolate Territory."

Wei Tianchen looked at Zhao Xing and suddenly brought up the past. "The preparations for the Ancient God resurrection ceremony of the Dongyan Ancient Clan were carried out in the Chenluo Desolate Territory."

"The Dongyan Ancient Clan has been hiding for so long. The Chenluo Desolate Territory is a good place. Their former residence must have been hidden and safe."

"And Qing Yuzi, who plotted against the Dongyan Ancient Clan, found himself in an even more secluded and safe place."

Zhao Xing was slightly taken aback. Could this guy be thinking of Wei Tianchen chuckled and said, "In the Origin Sea Incident, you were chosen by Qing Yuzi to help him plot against the Dongyan Ancient Clan, which led to Shunfeng's resurrection and his breakthrough to the Divine Realm."

"I reviewed your past and found that you ascended from the Chenluo Desolate Territory, first joined the Purple God Sect, sent back the Reincarnated Remains of Qing Yuzi, and then all the things that happened afterward."

"So, I guess Qing Yuzi's safe and secluded residence must be your hometown?"

"Zhao Xing, you can lead us to this place!"

Zhao Xing's expression immediately turned strange.

The Profound Yellow World is indeed secretive, but—is it safe?
