Sky Patrol Divine Guard, Dual Cultivation Desire Dream?
Two dragon horns protruding from the clouds were crystal clear. Upon closer inspection, there were many lines inside the horns, and liquid like Jade Pearl was flowing on them.
When the dragon horns appeared, Bai Lanjun, Hu Qing, and Yan Jun trembled slightly.
When the dragon heads appeared, they immediately knelt on the ground due to the pressure of the Great Dao.
Zhao Xing and Fu Mengzhen managed to hold on, standing still without moving.
The dragon head is about 100 meters tall. The eye area is hollow, and there is a human figure in each eye. The space in the left eye emits firefly light. Upon closer inspection, it is a miniature spherical Magic Array, like stars in motion.
The space around the right eye emits a pale blue light, and apart from the different color, its layout is exactly the same as that of the left eye.
"A mechanical dragon?"
Zhao Xing had expected a real dragon to appear, but to his surprise, it was a mechanical dragon, and not just one, but only its skull.
"Your Majesty, these are the Sky Patrol Divine Guard of Yushen Province." Perhaps provoked, Fu Mengzhen suddenly switched back to her previous state and stopped jumping around.
"Could God Yu of Mechanisms?" Zhao Xing couldn't help but wonder.
"I don't know," Fu Mengzhen shook her head. "The God Yu has never revealed his Dao, nor has he ever preached it."
Recalling that Wei Tianchen was captured by Dan Ye, Free God because he showed off his Dao Heart Bewildering Medicine, Zhao Xing also understood that showing his Dao in the Tribulation-Free White Bone God Domain might not be a good thing, unless he had absolute certainty of his safety.
"Yu God Moyuan is already Divine Realm, and he was able to create his own path in the Tribulation-Free White Bone God Domain, yet he doesn't reveal his path to the outside world. He is truly cautious," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
"However, I don't need to worry about that kind of danger for now. Only Demigod would seek to Attain Dao and Become God."
"Weaker Demigod usually can't find their own path."
Think of the Bamboo Sword Venerable. Before coming to the Profound Yellow World, he accepted the bounty from the Shadow Sanctum for a divine sword, which clearly shows that he had not yet found his path to godhood.
After arriving in the Profound Yellow World and entering the Five Tribulation White Bone God Domain, his True Spirit Realm improved, but he was still confused about becoming a god.
Bowei went even further, having survived eighteen tribulations before finding his own path!
"Only powerful Demigod, especially those who have followed the path of Heaven and Earth Attainment, are included."
Just as they were pondering, the dragon head slowly approached, eventually stopping at a safe distance.
The head emitted a dangerous aura of red and blue.
The person sitting in the eye socket didn't speak, but kept emitting light, as if conducting some kind of screening.
After receiving Zhao Xing's instructions, Fu Mengzhen revealed her identity and purpose. "Fu Mengzhen, the owner of First Tier Fire Seed Ring, greets the Sky Patrol Divine Guard. We wish to reside in Yushen Province."
Fu Mengzhen is a 13th-tier Demigod. As long as she doesn't encounter Divine Realm, she can be considered a strong person in the Bone Netherworld.
The strong are respected wherever they go, and she possessed First Tier Fire Seed Ring. With a soft murmur, Zhao Xing felt the mechanical dragon head skull noticeably lower its alert level by one level.
"Sky Patrol Divine Guard, Yi Qing, this is the Mechanical Puppet I control." Two figures spoke in unison from within the dragon skull.
"Your Majesty, this person can control powerful puppets and magical artifacts, so he should also be a Demigod," Fu Mengzhen secretly transmitted.
"A mechanical Demigod is proficient in the puppet and Dao Soldier Stream, whose main body is hidden in the rear, can continuously send out powerful Mechanical Puppet. He is a formidable character, and I have no way of pinpointing the direction of his main body."
Zhao Xing nodded slightly. He had also figured it out, but not through the panel, but through the Eight Directions Divine Mirror left behind by Wei Tianchen.
Even the Eight Directions Divine Mirror displayed some fragmented 'future scenes,' showing what Yi Qing himself looked like.
Although Lao Wei is dead, his divine artifact is still working. With his legacy as a foundation, Zhao Xing has no need to install the palm bone of Xuerui Luck God.
"Fellow Daoist Fu, are you here in Yushen Province for a temporary stay or a permanent one?" Yi Qing quickly inquired. "Would you like to enter the Yushen Grotto-Heaven?"
"It's just a temporary stay."
"If it's a temporary stay, you only need to pay for the corresponding full set of advancement materials," Yi Qing explained.
Fu Mengzhen reluctantly handed over all the materials.
Yi Qing then led them in flight.
On the way Fu Mengzhen complained to Zhao Xing via telepathy, "Your Majesty, the rules are different from before. In the past, only half a set of advancement materials was needed to enter Yushen Province, but now a full set is required—I'm afraid the rules for entering Moyuan City have also changed."
"What are the rules of Moyuan City?" Zhao Xing asked.
"If Your Majesty wants to avoid being pursued by Dan Ye, Free God, it is naturally safest to live in a city near Yushen Grotto-Heaven."
"The Grotto-Heaven where God Yu resides is even safer, but Yushen Grotto-Heaven is not open to the public; one can only enter by invitation."
"In the past, Moyuan City only required the payment of treasures such as Soul Crystal, Bone Spirit Stone, or Bone Body. But just now Yi Qing and I talked about how to stay in Moyuan City for a long time and need to leave behind a Dao Stone."
"Leave behind the Dao Stone?" Zhao Xing's brow twitched.
The so-called Dao Stone is a vessel for storing secret methods and insights into the origin of the Dao.
Fu Mengzhen wanted to take Zhao Xing, Hu Qing, Yan Jun, and Bai Lanjun to live in Moyuan City, then she would have to leave behind a secret technique she had learned and the corresponding insights into the Great Dao. Zhao Xing couldn't help but feel that this rule was ill-intentioned.
However, Fu Mengzhen also said that the same rules apply to Moon God State.
The God Yu set this rule relatively late, and the requirements were not as high.
Because the entire journey was traversed using Magic Array, it only took half a month to travel from the border to the Moyuan City.
Moyuan City was built on the edge of a cliff, next to a bottomless Great Rift Valley.
Outside the city, there is another small town called Dao Collection Palace.
Of course, they were all gathered from the methods of others; God Yu himself did not leave behind any secret techniques.
To stay in Moyuan City for an extended period, one must possess secret techniques and insights, which naturally came from Fu Mengzhen.
"Your Majesty, I'm going in." Fu Mengzhen turned to look at Zhao Xing.
"Yes, thank you for making the trip." Zhao Xing also got into role-playing.
"Your Majesty, there are five of us, and we need five sets of secret techniques in total. I provided them all by myself. Shouldn't you give me some reward?" Fu Mengzhen said in a slightly coquettish tone.
"What do you want?" Zhao Xing asked warily.
Fu Mengzhen didn't speak, but rubbed the flesh and blood of her lower body against Zhao Xing, her eyes burning with lust.
Zhao Xing's skull felt numb.
Old Wei's Dao Heart Bewildering Medicine is amazing! Look at what he did to Fu Mengzhen!
"You go first," Zhao Xing Derivation One.
There are too many people around now, so it's not convenient to administer the medicine. We'll change Fu Mengzhen's mode once we get back to our residence.
The Old Imperial Physician's Red Jade Thumb Ring contained a city of medicine.
Some medicines can even be made indefinitely. He set up many medicine puppets, and Zhao Xing didn't even need to know medicine. He could just find the materials and hand them over to the medicine puppets to produce the finished product.
He has nothing else but a lot of medicine.
"Pop!"
"Your Majesty, I'm off!"
Having received permission, Fu Mengzhen swiftly launched a sneak attack, kissing Zhao Xing on the cheekbone before happily walking inside.
Zhao Xing glanced back and saw that Bai Lanjun, Hu Qing, Yan Jun beside him seemed to have disconnected, pretending not to have seen anything.
"I actually got the better deal from the pink skull."
Zhao Xing shook his head and waited quietly to the side.
After leaving Dao Collection Palace, Zhao Xing and his group of five entered Moyuan City under the guidance of the patrol guards.
As a 13th-tier Demigod, Fu Mengzhen received the treatment she deserved after paying the price—a manor spanning 500 li in Moyuan City to live in.
"Your Majesty, this is our new residence—you gentlemen, please leave now."
Fu Mengzhen looked at Bai Lanjun, Hu Qing, Yan Jun.
The three members of the Divine Fire Sect immediately left, knowing their place.
"Your Majesty, am I beautiful?"
After the three left, Fu Mengzhen robe and lunged at Zhao Xing.
"Snap!"
Caught off guard, Zhao Xing was hit hard and felt a sharp pain. Just before Fu Mengzhen was about to force a spiritual connection with him, she finally managed to administer the medicine.
"Woof~~"
The humanoid phantom in Fu Mengzhen's eye sockets quickly faded away, and she switched to another mode.
Bai Junlan, Hu Qing, Yan Jun, who hadn't gone far outside the main hall, exchanged a glance upon hearing the dog bark.
The outspoken Hu Qing blurted out, "Senior and his Dao Companion have truly unique tastes—"
Although Bai Lanjun thought so too, he still scolded, "Senior Brother, are you out of your mind?"
"Is Lord Zhao you or I can discuss?"
"How many more times do you have to die before you learn your lesson?"
"Oh." Hu Qing immediately covered her mouth.
"Junior brother, don't blame Senior Brother Hu," Yan Jun said. "He's died nine times; his mind isn't quite right."
"Nine times? I remember only seven times?"
Why····
Bai Lanjun sighed.
"Sigh~"
In Prostrate Bone Territory, an old man dressed in dark green robes let out a sigh.
"I was careless. I never expected to be affected by the Path of Luck, and I actually missed that minor character for seven years."
Dan Ye, Free God looked down at the ruins below, a hint of regret on his face. Behind him followed a group of White Bone King.
"When one Attaining Dao enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Wei Tianchen, my good disciple, why won't you leave it to me?"
"Once I attain enlightenment, how could I possibly mistreat you?"
Dan Ye, Free God's gaze locked onto a dilapidated Soul Well. He waved his hand, and a shower of divine light fell upon it.
The divine light affected the space surrounding the damaged Soul Well, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.
With a flick of Dan Ye's wrist, as if by magic, the damaged Soul Well was restored.
And skeletal creatures began to crawl out.
"Swish swish~"
They were collected one by one by the Dan Ye, Free God, who carefully examined them.
"It seems he's really dead."
Dan Ye, Free God then began questioning some of the newly born skeletal creatures, trying to recall the great battle that took place in Fugu City half a year ago from their preserved memories.
A complete time and space scenario quickly formed in his mind.
It was a scene of battle between the Bamboo Sword Venerable and another White Bone King.
"Total destruction, wiping out all souls, that's a brilliant move, but it still underestimated me." Dan Ye, Free God immediately noticed something was wrong.
He then closed his eyes and continued to restore the key points of Fugu City.
"Phew~"
A Fire Pond in Fugu City was reignited.
But just then, the Fire Pond suddenly contracted, forming a human figure.
"Snort!"
The Hokage let out a cold snort, which was then quickly extinguished.
Dan Ye, Free God be deep in thought.
He can heal many things, even the Soul Well. However, the Fire Pond Magic Array has the mark left by the Divine Realm of the Divine Fire Sect. Even if it is just Bai Lanjun's routine prayer when setting up the formation, it cannot be invaded by Dan Ye, Free God.
This mark is not sensitive to other things, but if Dan Ye, Free God wants to deconstruct the Fire Pond Magic Array, it is equivalent to deconstructing the Great Dao of the Divine Fire Sect Li Fire Divine Lord.
However, Dan Ye also realized that Zhao Xing and his group had escaped through the Fire Pond.
In this situation, using divine power to search was actually inconvenient, so he could only use his subordinates to go to the field to investigate and find clues.
After much back and forth, about a year later, Dan Ye, Free God finally received news from his subordinate.
"Master, there's a 70% chance the target went to Yushen Province, a 20% chance to Moon God State, and only a 10% chance that they're hiding in an unknown place shrouded in Misty Dao Obstacle." A Demigod rode on a tortoise.
Dan Ye, Free God instructed, "Aiyisuo, go to Yushen Province and bribe or Sky Patrol Divine Guard. Hongwu, go to Moon God State and bribe or recruit the Moon God Guard. Find this person and bring him back."
Dan Ye Free God could not possibly go to Yu God Moyuan's territory in person, as this was a highly taboo matter.
"Yes."
Moyuan City, the Eighteen Locust Willow Courtyard.
"Metaphor"
Zhao Xing suddenly sensed something and immediately took out the Eight Directions Divine Mirror from the Red Jade Thumb Ring.
The air currents on the Eight Directions Divine Mirror dispersed, revealing a young man riding a tortoise and wearing a black robe.
The mirror displayed a warning signal and conveyed a specific cause-and-effect relationship.
He even learned that this person's Aiyisuo, a thirteenth-tier Demigod. He was sent by the Dan Ye, Free God.
The Eight Directions Divine Mirror is very powerful, which is why Wei Tianchen knew that Dan Ye, Free God was coming to seize his Dao when he saw her; everything was foreshadowed.
"Possessing flesh and blood, yet only Demigod?" Zhao Xing looked in the mirror. "It seems this is a very important person under Dan Ye, Free God."
Demigod can also possess flesh and blood bodies; this is something Zhao Xing learned from Fu Mengzhen.
This was also one of the three important pieces of information that Wei Tianchen originally planned to share.
Having flesh and blood and being reborn are two stages. It does not mean that having flesh and blood is the same as being in the Divine Realm, nor does being in the Divine Realm mean that one can be reborn.
All require obtaining the corresponding secret techniques. Fu Mengzhen said that these secret techniques came from the Fire Source Temple.
However, the secret technique she obtained is not very perfect, and so far it can only cover the lower body.
It is clear that Dan Ye, Free God has mastered this secret technique.
Restoring his flesh and blood has numerous benefits; Zhao Xing can now utilize his Internal World and fully unleash his combat power.
Of course, it is also possible that Danya is Free God Physician God, possessing abilities similar to healing flesh and bones.
"The previous arrangements only dragged on for a little over a year, and someone still came looking for me." Zhao Xing thought to himself that the bad news was that Dan Ye, Free God was coming to hunt him down.
The good news is that the Dan Ye, Free God will not easily set foot in Yushen Province.
Demigod of the thirteenth rank is not yet considered an unavoidable threat.
"Senior Shenjing, how does he plan to deal with me?"
Zhao Xing consumed his true spiritual power and the magical power in his bone marrow to activate the Eight Directions Divine Mirror.
Normally, the Eight Directions Divine Mirror can provide early warnings without consuming magical power or true spiritual energy, but Zhao Xing is now using the predictive function of the Fate Master Divine Item.
One must infuse one's own magic power and true spirit into the mirror to awaken its spirit, and to provide a medium for the spirit to gain direction and learn more information based on the magic power and true spirit.
"Metaphor"
With the infusion of a large amount of magical power and true spiritual energy, the Eight Directions Divine Mirror immediately revealed a series of future scenes. A moment later, Zhao Xing learned of Aiyisuo's actions.
"He plans to bribe or become a Sky Patrol Divine Guard, then find an opportunity to capture you and take you out of Moyuan City."
The only way to arrest someone under the nose of the "official" authorities in Yushen Province is to become an "official" entity.
This way, one can obtain the legal right to take action.
Upon receiving the answer, Zhao Xing immediately smiled.
"Are the Sky Patrol Divine Guard so easily bribed?"
Zhao Xing has been here for a year and has learned a lot of information.
The Sky Patrol Divine Guard hold a very high position in Yushen Province and even the entire Bone Netherworld.
After all, Yu God Moyuan was the second Divine Realm to create Grotto-Heaven World, second only to the Moon God.
After Mo Yuan created the Grotto-Heaven World and spread it throughout the Yushen Province, its Dao, Dharma, matter, and life were richer than in other places.
When one person Attaining Dao enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. If the God Yu were to advance further in the future, the Sky Patrol Divine Guard would surely also enjoy blessings.
They might return to the human world.
Under such circumstances, how could any of the Sky Patrol Divine Guard be easily bribed?
"Joining the Sky Patrol Divine Guard is very difficult; the assessment is not something that ordinary people can pass."
"Senior Divine Mirror, assuming Aiyisuo chooses to become Sky Patrol Divine Guard, how long would it take?" Zhao Xing asked again.
"At least one Jiazi (60 years), at the latest two Jiazi."
"Senior Divine Mirror, assuming Aiyisuo becomes a Sky Patrol Divine Guard Sky Patrol Divine Guard, or even if she successfully bribes one, what are the chances of me being captured?"
The divine mirror provided the answer, "If this is taken as a prerequisite, there are more than 1,600 possibilities in the future, and you only have more than 100 possibilities to escape."
Zhao Xing was taken aback. "Doesn't that mean there's not even a 10% chance?"
The divine mirror analyzed, "You possess many divine objects, but the vast majority of them cannot unleash their power."
"You are only Eight Tribulation Emperor Lord, and your magical cultivation is too shallow. Your foundation has improved too quickly, but the power of your magic can only be considered average."
"And the other party is a 13th-tier Demigod. Even if you become or bribe the Sky Patrol Divine Guard, you have a 10% chance of escaping, and that's only because of my existence."
The spirit of the divine mirror's words were very hurtful because they were very pertinent.
Zhao Xing went from a First Tribulation Emperor Lord Realm to Eight Tribulation Emperor Lord in just thirty-three years, relying entirely on the unique resources of the White Bone Divine Domain for his advancement.
Thirty-three years is a long time. No matter how much he cultivates, his magical progress can never keep up with the progress of his true spirit and magical power. Zhao Xing's current magical techniques are indeed still at the level of Reincarnation-level Secret Technique.
If he could regain his physical body, that would be great. Zhao Xing's other spells are relatively weak, but once he regains his physical body, with his current foundation, he can use "Nine Marsh God" and combine it with the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle to reach the level of Demigod!
During that year, he was also practicing the flesh and blood secret technique that Fu Mengzhen had given him.
"Senior Divine Mirror, can you predict when I will be able to regain my physical body? And if I wish to join the Sky Patrol Divine Guard, what are the chances of that happening?"
Restoring one's physical body is only one aspect, and that's not enough to ensure safety. Joining the Sky Patrol Divine Guard provides double insurance.
If you can't beat them, join them. If you become Sky Patrol Divine Guard, you won't be afraid of Aiyisuo using this method to harm you.
The spirit of the Divine Mirror said, "If you cultivate at your current speed, it will take you about five hundred years to recover. As for the Sky Patrol Divine Guard, the chances are too slim to be anything but."
"Five hundred years?!" Zhao Xing was stunned. "Senior, are you mistaken? With my talent, does it really take five hundred years?"
Zhao Xing has always been confident in his talent and has worked hard enough, but of course, he never mentions his stats.
Could it be that the Divine Mirror was unaware of the panel's existence, which is why it came to the conclusion of five hundred years?
The spirit of the Divine Realm remained emotionless as it said, "The flesh-and-blood regeneration method that Fu Mengzhen gave you is incomplete. Furthermore, the ' Desire Dream Method ' is a dual cultivation method. How can you make progress if you always cultivate alone?"
The "Desire Dream Method" is the method of flesh and blood regeneration that Fu Mengzhen.
This method involves spiritual communion in dreams, experiencing intense love, nourishing the soul with emotions, and nurturing the physical body with mental power.
In short, to sum it up in one sentence: Being loved makes you grow flesh and blood.
However, it is a dual cultivation method, Zhao Xing's progress in cultivation is very slow not because he is bad, nor because his stats are not good, but simply because he lacks a dual cultivation partner.
"It's not that I don't know, it's just that I have some secrets that I don't want Fu Mengzhen or anyone else to know," Zhao Xing sighed.
This method emphasizes honesty and spiritual connection between two people; how could Zhao Xing possibly be honest with Fu Mengzhen?
Moreover, Fu Mengzhen is not in a normal state. If she wakes up while cultivating, then everything will be over.
"Then you can only find another way."
"Senior, could you deduce the method for solo cultivation based on the Desire Dream Method '?"
"I'm not for making wishes."
Zhao Xing knew he was asking too much of the impossible. The Eight Directions Divine Mirror's function wasn't in this area; if it did, it would be the Red Star Empire's "Great Derivation Divine Weapon."
After putting away the Eight Directions Divine Mirror, Zhao Xing fell into deep thought.
He found Fu Mengzhen and inquired about the possibility of exchanging for another flesh and blood method.
But Fu Mengzhen told him it was impossible, "Your Majesty, the exchange for the Desire Dream Method has already consumed my 150 years of accumulation. If it were any other technique, the price would be even higher, and we could not exchange for it in a short time."
Zhao Xing wanted to suggest that he could try selling a divine item, but the Fire Source Temple simply wouldn't accept it.
It only issues tasks; completing the tasks earns you Source Points.
Fu Mengzhen had never been to the Fire Source Temple. She always accepted missions through the Fire Seed Ring, accumulated Source Points, and then used the Fire Seed Ring to state what she needed to exchange for treasures. Treasures would then fall from the sky very quickly. All of this was done through the Fire Seed Ring.
"Your Majesty, have you grown tired of me?" As she spoke, Fu Mengzhen suddenly covered her face and sobbed.
"Huh?" Zhao Xing was suddenly a little confused.
"Why are you unwilling to cultivate together with me?"
"This-"
Zhao Xing couldn't answer, Fu Mengzhen, stimulated, actually felt a sense of sobering up.
Helpless, faced with Fu Mengzhen who seemed to be regaining consciousness, he could only apply the medicine again and switch to another state.
"Woof~"
After leaving Fu Mengzhen's residence, Zhao Xing sighed.
I should have known better than to let Bamboo Sword Venerable leave so quickly.
Assuming the Bamboo Sword is still there, with the help of his own Luck Divine Bone, and with the function of the Eight Directions Divine Mirror, it's not impossible to outwit Aiyisuo.
Aiyisuo may possess the method of flesh and blood regeneration.
But now, he's all alone, taking on a thirteenth-tier Demigod by himself. It's really too risky.
Using Fu Mengzhen? She was poisoned by the Dao Heart Bewildering Medicine, and was only at the level of a 12th Tribulation Demigod, and her performance was very unstable.
After much deliberation, Zhao Xing realized that he really didn't have many other options.
"Damn, is dual cultivation with Fu Mengzhen the only option left?"
