Third Era of the Desolate Territory Descends!

After the Star Mirror merges with the Primordial Order, when the soul enters, it is as if it has entered a real space.

Zhao Xing flew through the clouds, silently reciting the Myriad Stars City. Before long, he flew out of the clouds and saw an ocean.

The ocean is enchanting, encompassing all things; it is an ocean of the heart, and the Myriad Stars City lies beside this ocean, with tens of thousands of stars overhead.

Swoosh~

Zhao Xing quickly landed and arrived at Sea of Consciousness Tower in Myriad Stars City with the Five Poisons.

There were many figures in Sea of Consciousness Tower. Zhao Xing could see the faces of some people and even sense their presence, while others were just blurry images.

The difference in spiritual realm and the strength of one's spiritual will lead to this result.

For example, although he is now Twelfth-tier Demigod like Five Poisons, Five Poisons Zhao Xing's mental strength is much stronger than his because at least 80% of his mental will is occupied with official and personal matters.

If the Five Poisons did not want Zhao Xing to see them, they would also be blurry, or even completely invisible.

There were many spiral staircases moving inside the attic. With a casual gesture, Five Poisons pointed to a staircase that automatically appeared beneath his feet.

As they ascended the spiral staircase, the two arrived at a luxurious private room, where four people were already waiting to greet them.

"Disciple, the one at the very front is Venerable Wan Ying. He is Mind Illusionist."

"The other three are his friends: Venerable Haoyu is Fate Master, Venerable Holy Wing is a Martial Artist, and Venerable Fu Ping is Mech Martial Practitioner."

The Five Poisons Transmitting Sounds: An Introduction

Since there was no concealment, Zhao Xing could clearly see the faces and demeanor of the four people. Venerable Wan Ying was all smiles, while the other three were cursing and swearing. However, when they saw the two of them come up, they immediately became upright.

"It's him?" Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected to see Venerable Fu Ping here. He thought he would only see Venerable Wan Ying this time.

"Haha, here it comes."

"Fellow Daoist Five Elements, Zhao Shennong, thank you both for gracing us with your presence." Venerable Wan Ying greeted him with a hearty laugh. From a spiritual connection, Zhao Xing could sense that Venerable Wan Ying was very enthusiastic, and even seemed happy upon seeing him.

This skill originated from the practice of dual cultivation of the "Desire Dream Method" with Fu Mengzhen.

"Disciple, Wan Ying and the others made a bet to see who could get you to come over for a get-together. Each person contributed twenty squares of Contribution Points, and in the end, Wan Ying won against the other three." The Venerable Five Poisons said with a smile, "He and I will each get half, three hundred thousand each. We'll divide the spoils when we get back."

"Master, you're amazing!" Zhao Xing gave a thumbs up.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists." Five Poisons was unusually serious for a moment, but he quickly lost his composure. "Wan Ying, please give me my disciple's appearance fee."

Venerable Wan Ying laughed heartily, "No problem, it's already been transferred to you."

Contribution Points cannot be traded, but items obtained by exchanging Contribution Points can be traded.

Zhao Xing was also a little puzzled. Had his reputation become so high that someone would actually pay to invite him to a party?

Although it was just a bet made out of interest, it still required a certain level of prestige to get these four interested.

However, Five Poisons and Wan Ying are like brothers, so how should I address them?

"Brother Zhao, let's each talk our own thing," Wan Ying said, seemingly understanding Zhao Xing's thoughts. "That way, things will be more comfortable."

Zhao Xing stopped being coy and immediately cupped his hands, saying, "Greetings, Brother Wan Ying, Brother Hao Yu, Brother Sheng Yi, and Brother Fu Ping."

?

"Please have a seat." Wan Ying led the two into the private room.

The private room faced the Sea of Souls, with a unique view and luxurious surroundings, making people feel relaxed and refreshed. Zhao Xing felt as if his mind had been soothed.

After everyone took their seats, Five Poisons and Wan Ying took the lead in starting the conversation, followed by Fate Master Hao Yu, Martial Artist Sheng Yi, and Mechanism Master Fu Ping. However, Zhao Xing spoke relatively little, mainly listening.

After chatting for a while, seeing that Zhao Xing had also joined in, Five Poisons decided not to stay any longer.

He stood up with a smile and said, "Everyone, I am very busy with affairs in the Primordial Beginning Realm and cannot be distracted. I will sell this disciple to you."

"Hahaha, we can't afford it." Venerable Wan Ying and the other three burst into laughter.

"How do I know I can't afford it if I don't make an offer? If the price is right, I'll sell myself," Zhao Xing joked.

"If I had Mechanical Puppet of your caliber, I'd sell everything I own to buy it," Venerable Holy Wing said, raising his wine glass. "Fu Ping, could you build one based on Brother Zhao's template? Half of Brother Zhao's abilities would be enough."

Fu Ping glanced at Sheng Yi: "How about I make you another Great Derivation Divine Weapon? Since it's all just a dream anyway, let's go all out."

"Hahahaha." Everyone burst into laughter.

The four men were keen to befriend someone as talented as Zhao Xing, and their conversations were filled with praise for Zhao Xing.

They were all Demigod had lived for a long time, so they were naturally not lacking in social skills. They usually didn't bother with social niceties, but it was different when they were with Zhao Xing.

The reason they were so enthusiastic was mainly due to something Haoyu Demigod Fate Master, had said to them:

This Demigod Fate Master knew more details about the Yuanhai Dharma Assembly incident.

He then cited Qing Yuzi, Venerable Holy Wing was familiar with, as an example. "In the process of that person in the Reincarnation Temple becoming a god, Zhao Xing's influence accounted for a significant portion. I'm not at liberty to say more about the specifics."

"But if you could gain Zhao Xing's friendship, perhaps your chances of becoming gods would be much greater!"

When it comes to the hope of becoming a god, it's better to believe it exists than not.

Therefore, when Zhao Xing came to attend the four-person gathering, he was immediately given a warm welcome.

Of course, no one acted too deliberately, since even without Fate Master Haoyu's words, they had originally planned to befriend Zhao Xing anyway.

The topic quickly shifted to Contribution Points tasks.

"—You wouldn't believe it, but last time I was doing a Contribution Points quest, I somehow got bitten by a Demigod from the Demon Race."

Venerable Fu Ping drank his wine, somewhat annoyed. "We were getting along very well before, each minding our own business, but last time we went out, that fellow went crazy. He insisted on fighting me to the death."

Wan Ying asked, "Was the reason later clarified?"

Zhao Xing also pricked up his ears to listen. He was a little embarrassed, as it was purely unintentional.

He never imagined that he would later become acquainted with Venerable Fu Ping.

"No, I asked Haoyu when I got back, but he didn't figure anything out."

"I asked the Lord Xuan Si, and he knew, but he refused to tell me." To this day, Venerable Fu Ping still finds that battle inexplicable.

I was completely caught in the crossfire for no reason, I just can't figure it out.

"Contribution Points tasks are never that easy. Unexpected things can happen at any time." Venerable Holy Wing sighed, "I went to the Dark Star Grotto before, entered through the entrance of the Coiling Ox Demon Kingdom, but came out of the Celestial Demon Kingdom."

"Three hundred years have passed, and I've been wandering around in the Dark Star Grotto without obtaining a single Dark Star Origin Stone."

"Before setting off, I specifically asked Haoyu to analyze the situation, and we shouldn't have returned empty-handed."

Venerable Hao Yu put down his wine cup and said, "Fate is unpredictable. In a place like Dark Star Grotto, everything is hard to explain."

Zhao Xing asked in confusion, "What kind of place is the Dark Star Grotto?"

Venerable Hao Yu said, "The Dark Star Grotto is a peculiar area in the Black Heaven Desolate Territory, where there is a chance to find [Dark Star Origin Stone]."

"Its function is not explained above; it is only charged at a Contribution Points."

Is Zhao Xing's certificate really that valuable?

"Why don't I have this kind of task?"

The Venerable Holy Wing said, "Brother Zhao, you haven't been Demigod for long. The Dark Star Grotto is quite dangerous. The higher-ups give us missions as training, not to send us to our deaths. If a place is deemed too dangerous, it cannot be unlocked for you. Only a fourteenth-tier Demigod can go to the Dark Star Grotto."

Zhao Xing suddenly realized that Contribution Points tasks were also tiered.

On the surface, he is still Twelfth-tier Demigod. Even if he uses the Nine Marsh Transformation and has combat power comparable to the 14th Tribulation, he will find it difficult to last long in the Dark Star Grotto.

After all, transformations have a limited duration, and Sheng Yi gained nothing in the Dark Star Grotto after three hundred years. Clearly, such places require a protracted struggle to yield results.

Over the next six months, Zhao Xing frequently met with Sheng Yi, Wan Ying, Hao Yu, and Fu Ping in Myriad Stars City. He gradually learned a great deal of information that wasn't officially available.

One day, Zhao Xing came to the outskirts of Myriad Stars City again. He came to see Venerable Wan Ying 'building a house'.

"The City of Heart and Soul is constructed from the power of the soul. In the beginning, it was merely a ' Hall of Minds ' built by three Soul Gods."

For high-level personnel to exchange ideas.

"Later, it expanded to include more Divine General Level, Divine Soldier Level, and even Demigod who were often summoned here. The hall alone could no longer accommodate them, so it was gradually expanded into the City of Heart and Soul."

Matter kept appearing and piling up in front of Venerable Wan Ying.

"The public areas of Wanxing are all constructed with the mental power of the Divine Realm. As for the private areas, they are expanded by the Divine Realm and Demigod who come in. Therefore, the scale of Myriad Stars City is getting bigger and bigger."

"Of course, if Demigod dies, all the buildings in this Myriad Stars City will cease to exist, which can also be used to determine the life or death of Demigod."

Zhao Xing nodded. Among these people, only Venerable Wan Ying, a spiritual master, was able to build a house in the area near the core of Myriad Stars City. The houses of the others were all in the suburbs, which was also a symbol of their status and position.

Zhao Xing's current mental will is comparable to that of a twelfth-level Demigod, and he has more than enough control over his own power, making him one of the most outstanding among the twelfth-level Demigod.

However, if placed in the thirteenth tier, it would only be at a medium level.

As for the fourteenth-order Demigod, he was completely insignificant. In the past six months, he had benefited greatly from watching Venerable Wan Ying City of Heart and Soul, and Venerable Wan Ying was happy to teach him.

"Zhao Xing, why don't you give it a try and see if you can leave anything in this area?" Venerable Wan Ying pointed to an open space.

"Okay." Zhao Xing was eager to try.

The location chosen by Venerable Wan Ying is such that even a 14th-order Demigod would find it difficult to condense matter and exist for a long time unless they possess exceptional mental fortitude.

"Where the heart leads, the Way manifests; let it be!"

Zhao Xing pointed to the target land.

"L~"

Grains the size of rice grains appeared out of nowhere.

This is what makes the City of Heart and Soul special; as long as one's will is strong, one can conjure up anything.

As the sand and gravel gradually expanded, Zhao Xing felt a powerful pressure, and the burden became heavier and heavier.

"!"

A moment later, when the sand grains grew to the size of a thumb, they could no longer withstand the pressure and collapsed.

"It still doesn't work." Zhao Xing shook his head.

Venerable Wan Ying laughed and said, "Brother, you have made great progress. Half a year ago, you couldn't even condense a grain of sand."

"But now it can be raised to the size of a thumb."

Venerable Wan Ying had a keen eye; he could see that Zhao Xing was using mental power to manifest matter, and if he only maintained the size of a grain of sand, it could exist indefinitely.

"No matter how small, as long as you can successfully condense your spirit in this area, your will will advance to the fourteenth level. You are only Demigod of the twelfth tribulation, which is truly rare."

Six months ago, Zhao Xing was unable to condense it, but six months later he was able to. Venerable Wan Ying was amazed by Zhao Xing's comprehension.

He only spent half a year "building a house," and the speed of his progress was simply terrifying.

"Not even a fraction of Brother Wan's achievements." Zhao Xing looked at the mansion, which was mostly completed.

Wan Ying's mansion covered a thousand acres, with high palace walls and more than ten million bricks and tiles. Inside, there were pavilions, terraces, waterside pavilions, and corridors.

The main hall, side halls, gardens, and lakes—in comparison, I can only be a grain of sand.

"Hahaha, I specialize in fixing this. You think you can compare to me?"

"Brother, don't be so stubborn. You're just a Agricultural Official, do you want to leave me, a Venerable One of the Souls, with no way out?"

Wan Ying smiled and led Zhao Xing into a palace where they sat down.

After chatting for a while, Wan Ying suddenly said, "Zhao Xing, we are about to enter the Third Era of the Desolate Territory."

"I think you also know about some of the gods' predictions regarding the Third Era of the Desolate Territory."

Zhao Xing nodded gravely. Less than forty years had passed since they entered the Third Era of the Desolate Territory.

In the gods' predictions for the Third Era, one of the most severe calamities was the chaos caused by [time-space memory].

"The impact of time and space memory can cause many people to forget their relatives and friends, or even forget themselves. Their minds are in turmoil. The most serious consequence is that they will go crazy, and even their true spirit will collapse."

"Haoyu, Sheng Yi, and Fu Ping are either in seclusion or collecting spiritual treasures to prevent this from happening."

"Of course, candidates for the Divine Realm like us will receive some protection if we are able to enter the City of Heart and Soul, Wanxing. As long as you can build a Mind Palace, even if it is in the suburbs, you will be blessed by the power of the Divine Realm. You will only lose some insignificant memories, and if you are lucky, you may be completely fine."

Zhao Xing asked curiously, "What about the others? I'm not worried about myself, but what about my family and friends?"

Don't they even remember themselves? How tragic that would be, how chaotic the entire Desolate Territory would be!

"It's not that serious," Venerable Wan Ying said. "I've experienced several large-scale Space-Time Memory Impact."

"When the impact occurs, the Mysterious Spirit History, as well as the history books of various ancient kingdoms and the Red Star Empire, will provide a large-scale protective effect. The presence of historians will also stabilize the major regions."

"The Space-Time Memory Impact is not particularly significant for those with lower cultivation levels."

"If you're lucky and not in the affected area, those with lower cultivation levels will actually be safer."

Zhao Xing suddenly realized that historians and Mysterious Spirit History had such functions. No wonder there was little resistance when Bowei unified the Starry Sky Historian and Historical Scholar. The powerful also hoped that the Great Dao of History would become stronger and more prosperous.

"The stronger one's cultivation level, the greater the impact one receives; the weaker one's cultivation level, the smaller the impact one receives."

"In the end, this is a premeditated release of the temporal dam, a targeted attack by the Evil God," said Venerable Wan Ying.

"Faced with such a disaster, there will be many Reincarnation Realm, and some will choose to actively reincarnate to avoid this calamity."

"However, in this way, after reincarnation, the origin is returned to the universe. When the torrent of time and space surges back, the Evil God Faction can successfully take away a part of the origin and bring it back to ancient times."

Venerable Wan Ying waved his hand, and a river appeared. "You can imagine such a scene."

"Upstream flood discharge will unleash a torrent of time, forcing some powerful beings to reincarnate or causing their true spirits to collapse."

"At this time, many powerful individuals who have cultivated their Origin Godhood will return a portion of their origins to the universe."

"And when this manipulated torrent crashes into the established channels, a backflow occurs."

Venerable Wan Ying waved his hand, simulating a scene of disaster.

The river, which had flowed peacefully for a long time, suddenly appeared on the banks of a certain section of the river in the past, causing a raging Divine Realm.

One trough after another appeared, as if some kind of giant beast was lurking beneath.

As the colossal beast swept past, numerous orbs of light dimmed, signifying the death of powerful individuals whose very essence disintegrated and returned to the world.

"Puff".

At one point, the torrent crashed against another large dam, creating a backflow.

The backflow was also very turbulent, with ancient Evil God standing on the banks of different sections of the river, taking the opportunity to collect the source from the backflow.

In this way, the Past Faction completed a plunder of the origins of the Wilderness Era Faction.

"Brother Wan Ying, what is this?" Zhao Xing pointed to the trough in the river, where he could vaguely see the figures of some giant beasts.

"The Heavenly Dimension Giant Beast," Venerable Wan Ying said, "Is said to be a time-based behemoth, born with the Divine Realm, capable of freely traversing the River of Space-Time. However, I have never seen it up close."

The Heavenly Dimension Giant Beast? Is this related to the Time Faction? Was what Yun Tian Dao saw at the ruins of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom the same as the Celestial Beast? Zhao Xing pondered this.

"Based on my understanding of the Dao and my knowledge of the Divine Realm techniques, this is probably the only way I can describe it to you. This kind of technique cannot be used often. In my thirty-six epochs, I have only encountered it three times."

"The first time, I forgot a lot of things, even my basic worldview collapsed. I was in a daze and became a madman who only knew how to cultivate."

Venerable Wan Ying sighed, "It wasn't until three eras later that I was lucky enough to become a Mind Emperor Lord Realm of the Eight Tribulations. I was discovered by Palace Master Lu Ya and taken back to the Origin Heavenly Palace. He used the Ten Tables and Eight Books of the Mysterious Spirit History to help me regain my memories."

"The second time, I was already Demigod who had survived Nine Tribulations, but I still forgot that I was once a part of the Origin Heavenly Palace."

"The shock at the time was accompanied by the descent of a Divine Soldier Level Evil God. I thought I was a rogue cultivator, and the Evil God was so tempting that I almost became his disciple."

"However, after the Palace Master appeared and killed that Evil God god, I regained my memories upon returning to the palace."

Zhao Xing listened quietly to Venerable Wan Ying's past. He hadn't expected the other party to have such experiences. Indeed, making more friends is never a bad thing. This kind of experience is very valuable.

"Brother Wan Ying, what about the third time?"

Venerable Wan Ying recalled, "The third time, I was already a thirteenth-level Demigod. At that time, I was adventuring in a secret realm. Although I was very strong and had received a warning in advance, the warning did not specify the exact time. Everything happened too suddenly."

"Because I was outside the Spirit Domain, the protective power of the Mysterious Spirit History was weakened, and I was still affected."

"However, this third time, I only lost some insignificant everyday memories, such as what I ate on a certain day."

The Mysterious Spirit History didn't waste its power to restore my memories. "After the third time, I advanced to the fourteenth-order Demigod, and my mental secret technique was greatly improved." Venerable Wan Ying laughed. "The Palace Master said that I walk the Mind Path, which gives me an advantage in fighting against this kind of spacetime turbulence, and my secret technique is also quite special—after that, I entered the list of candidates for the Divine Realm, which was actually a blessing in disguise."

Hearing about Venerable Wan Ying's experiences, Zhao Xing couldn't help but sigh. Venerable Wan Ying had survived three major shocks and even became a powerful fourteenth-order Demigod.

The Five Poisons said that Wan Ying, a 14th-order Demigod, could freely unleash his power without fear of triggering True Spirit Tribulation, which shows how strong Wan Ying's talent was.

In normal circumstances, there is absolute certainty that one will survive the next True Spirit Tribulation; it all depends on whether Wan Ying is willing to trigger it. This is also relatively rare among Demigod.

For example, the Venerable Bing of the Carlos Family died instantly after triggering the True Spirit Tribulation.

"Mental level, willpower-related arcane arts, time-related treasures, and historical treasures can all help you cope with this disaster and keep True Self true self from being shaken during the disaster."

"You might even improve as a result." Venerable Wan Ying imparted his experience without reservation.

"Secondly, hiding in certain places can also improve safety, such as the core areas of super powers. For example, the Primordial Beginning Realm of the Red Star Empire, the Three Realms of Yan God Star and the Ancient Hill of Antiquity, or next to the Mysterious Spirit History, or the Taishi Palace of the ancient kingdom."

"However, hiding is not the best solution. The Third Era is so long, who knows which Solar Year or World Star Year will trigger it? We can't keep hiding in a safe area forever."

"It's better to have a strong countermeasure in place. Haoyu, Sheng Yi, and Fu Ping are all preparing for this."

The advice of Venerable Wan Ying is undoubtedly very important. The Third Era of the Desolate Territory may begin in the first World Star Year or in the last Solar Year.

An era has so many World Star Year; if we keep hiding, how can we possibly develop?

"It's been less than forty years, and I also need to go into seclusion to prepare," said Venerable Wan Ying. "I invited you here today..."

That's all.

"Thank you very much, Brother Wan." Zhao Xing bowed with his hands clasped.

"No need to be so Guest Qi. Even if I don't tell you, someone in the Empire will teach you."

"How can written words compare to Brother Wan's personal experience?" Zhao Xing still bowed, acknowledging the sentiment.

"I hope that in the Third Era of the Desolate Territory, we haven't forgotten each other." Wan Ying returned the greeting.

Wan Ying is about to go into seclusion, as are Hao Yu, Sheng Yi, and Fu Ping.

Their act of getting to know Zhao Xing before their final retreat, though somewhat deliberate, did not offend Zhao Xing.

Not every friend has to be like Old Chen and Xia Jing, going through life and death together. Some are like Wan Ying and her friends, you can get along well and help each other.

Zhao Xing did indeed gain a lot from these people, and even obtained some clues about the "Extreme Star Origin".

For example, Sheng Yi provided a clue: in the Xuanling Star Domain, some like-minded Demigod formed a loose organization called the "Chasing Light Society." Their goal was to pursue and explore the light left behind by the former Extreme Star.

However, even after joining the Sheng Yi for thousands of years, they never found a single ray of aurora, and eventually, they lost contact with them.

Joining the Chasing Light Society is all done through introductions from internal members, and Sheng Yi can act as an introducer.

"Time is running out. There are less than forty years left in the second era. In such a short time, I can't possibly accumulate enough Contribution Points to become a god. I should focus on improving my survival skills first," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Ordinary wealth cannot buy divine items, and in the impending Third Era of the Desolate Territory, only divine items can improve the chances of survival.

"There are a total of twenty-one divine objects in the Red Jade Thumb Ring left by Wei Tianchen. After I gave the Eight Directions Divine Mirror to Ji Si, there are still twenty left."

"The Azure Water Golden Divine Gourd, the Primal Wheel, and the White Jade Five Tombs Ship are all Dao Divine Artifact, and I can use them myself, so they are not suitable for exchange."

"Among them, seven are divine artifacts used by Wei Tianchen to prove his Dao through the ' Heaven Mending Method.' Don't even mention them, let alone sell them."

[Three Beam Crown], [Star Luo Imperial Physician Robe], [Li Emperor Jade Belt], [Myriad Phenomena Spirit Doctor Cauldron], [Spirit Rhyme Rejuvenation Needle]

[Black Cloud Boots] and [Heaven Mending Seal]. These seven items are all Dao Divine Artifact.

Five of them were treasures for physicians, Zhao Xing vaguely sensed that the remaining two were imbued with some kind of extremely powerful divine power, making them impossible to exchange.

"The Seven-Star Dipper Cabinet cannot be exchanged."

"The remaining nine items can all be exchanged; I don't need them at all," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

These are profession-specific artifacts; you can't use them without specializing in the corresponding profession. Aside from medicine, Zhao Xing has no plans to pursue any other specializations.

The main reason for studying medicine is to learn Wei Tianchen's Heaven Mending Method, which is related to the timing of the Heavenly Timing and has a complete lineage.

"We'll take all nine items out for exchange, mainly for treasures related to mind and will, time and space, and history."

In theory, the Xuanling Treasure Pavilion can recycle divine artifacts, but he is only Demigod, and his Contribution Points is related to his chances of becoming a god, so this function will not be unlocked by Demigod.

Contribution points cannot be traded. All Contribution Points tasks will be strictly screened. Even tasks that involve recycling treasures will be strictly screened to ensure that the item was obtained by the user.

If you don't obtain the materials for the mission yourself, you won't even get past the Mind General challenge.

Zhao Xing planned to dispose of these artifacts. He sought suitable buyers through the Venerable Five Poisons, Venerable Hong Shan, Venerable Lushan, and even Wan Ying and Fu Ping.

This is where the importance of having many friends becomes apparent. Treasures related to mind and will, time and space, and history are of great use in the Third Era of the Desolate Territory.

Few people will make a move at this time, and it's difficult to find someone to exchange for it.

Zhao Xing waited for several years, and in the end, it was the Mechanism Master Fu Ping who first found him two potential buyers.

As Mechanism Master, he had a wide circle of friends, Fu Ping agreed to help him, even delaying his seclusion for a few years because of it.

Thirty-two years before the end of the Second Era of the Desolate Territory, Zhao Xing met with two buyers in the administrative star of the Empire's Super-Class Star System.

"Zhao Xing, these two are my friends, ' Yu Ye ' and ' Sai Yan '," Venerable Fu Ping introduced.

"Greetings, Venerable Yu Ye and Venerable Sai Yan." Zhao Xing bowed to the man and woman sitting opposite him.

"You're too Guest Qi, Zhao Shennong," Yu Ye and Sai Yan returned the greeting in unison.

One was Mechanism Master, and the other a musician; they were husband and wife, both from the Ancient Kingdom Alliance. Both were relatively wealthy Demigod.

After taking his seat, Zhao Xing didn't waste any words and immediately showed off his collection.

"Om Yu~

~

The nine divine artifacts appeared instantly, radiating divine light and emanating powerful energy.

"Please take a look, you two."

"These are my collections. Four of them are Dao Divine Artifact, and five are divine artifacts of power."

Before coming, Yu Ye and Sai Yan had learned some basic information, and now it was time to try it out.

Sai Yan reached out and presented a dark green robe and a bronze horn ornament into her hands.

Both of these are products of the Five Emperors Era and are considered sacred instruments for musicians.

Musicians don't mind having multiple unique artifacts; they usually cultivate clones to wield multiple instruments simultaneously, making one person a whole band.

Generally speaking, the more clones a musician has and the more magical artifacts they possess, the more powerful they are.

Musicians who can cultivate to the level of Demigod are the most extraordinary of the extraordinary.

"Chirp~"

The Five Tones Twelve Levels emanated from Sai Yan's hands, Zhao Xing immediately felt refreshed and invigorated.

He actually possessed another divine instrument for musicians, the Eight Desolations Burnt Tail Zither, which he had snatched from Fu Mengzhen, but Zhao Xing had no intention of selling it. Fu Mengzhen had stated that this artifact required a secret technique to activate; without it, it was unusable. The others, however, all had corresponding secret techniques for control, allowing even Demigod to utilize them.

The five tones flowed, and the hall seemed to become an ocean of music.

Sai Yan tried it out briefly and was quite satisfied.

She hadn't yet mastered the secret techniques for controlling them, and had only taken a small taste, but she could already tell that these two artifacts were quite impressive.

Zhao Xing also sensed it.

Wei Tianchen's collection consists of rare and precious items.

The Dazzling Fire Divine Sword that he casually offered as a reward back then made the Bamboo Sword Venerable willing to risk his life to capture Zhao Xing.

It's hard for Sai Yan to be dissatisfied.

"Zhao Shennong, I really like both of these." Sai Yan raised her head, making no attempt to hide her admiration. Since the artifacts possessed a spirit, she wouldn't speak disparagingly of her favorite instruments.

"I just don't know if the treasures I've prepared will satisfy you."

"Please."

After saying that, Sai Yan waved her sleeve and pushed a divine object next to Zhao Xing.

This is a sky-blue robe with edges in the color of dawn.

A pale blue river flows along the lapel of the robe, and a phantom of Solar Yang hangs high in the sky.

"Um?"

After Zhao Xing received the robe, a vision immediately appeared in his mind, as if he were in a starry sky full of spiritual energy.

Countless spiritual Star Continent and Spirit Mountain floated in the air, with giant star beasts and fairies moving about.

"Splash!"

A refreshing feeling wafted over, Rain Water began to fall.

Zhao Xing looked up at the sky and instantly understood the purpose of the robe.

He finished watching and was surprised to find that the progress of the Great Sun Sea within the Holy Body had actually increased by 1 point.

"The Space-Time Guyu Dharma Robe! This robe also records the solar terms of Great Cosmic Seasons. Its scope and intensity are so great that it is truly a divine artifact."

The Space-Time Guyu Dharma Robe is considered a semi-exclusive artifact for the Agricultural Official.

It can be used even if you are not Agricultural Official, because it possesses the characteristics of the origin of time and space and has the ability to resist time and space-related secret arts.

If it is used by Agricultural Official, it will produce some additional effects.

Firstly, we should understand that the Great Grain Rain solar term contains the changes of the Great Cosmic Seasons, and has great research value for the Celestial Timing Art. The progress of the Great Sunless Sea is proof of this.

The materials used to make this robe were from this particular solar term.

It's somewhat similar to the Rain Immortal Festival ritual effect in the Spirit Void Source Origin Realm.

Second, time travel!

It is Dao Divine Artifact, but the owner who created this robe also left behind a mark of divine power.

When worn with this robe, it can transport the wearer back to the current Great Grain Rain solar term. However, there is only one chance.

It's a one-way ticket, and once this number of uses is used, the robe will disappear.

The Space-Time Grain Rain, the Dharma Robe Shuttles Through, its conventional function can be comprehended, and it can also resist the impact of the Time-Space Secret Technique, and naturally it can also resist the Time-Space Turbulence.

It also allows for Time Travel, which is exactly what Zhao Xing wants.

He made no secret of his feelings for her.

"Venerable Sai Yan, Venerable Yu Ye, I really like this robe," Zhao Xing praised.

Sai Yan smiled sweetly, "In that case, Zhao Shennong, how do you think we should exchange them?"

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment and said, "How about two for one?"

Sai Yan and Venerable Yu Ye exchanged a glance, then nodded. "Alright."

Yu Ye also added a special compliment, "Zhao Shennong has great courage and I hope my wife and I can become Zhao Shennong friends."

Clearly, Sai Yan and Yu Ye believed they had come out ahead.

Zhao Xing shared the same view: the value of a profession-specific artifact cannot be clearly defined; it depends on the needs of both the buyer and seller.

If you really like it, you can exchange it for another one. However, the Space-Time Guyu Dharma Robe is related to the Great Dao Origin of Time and Space, so its value is naturally higher during this special period.

It's unlikely that Sai Yan and Venerable Yu Ye would agree to exchanging one item for another.

If we only talk about business, then it's hard to explain exactly how to exchange things.

Let's be more pragmatic and exchange two items for one. That way, we can save ourselves the trouble of haggling and even make a friend.

Upon seeing that the two sides had reached a deal, Venerable Fu Ping, who acted as the middleman, smiled and said, "Both of you have such a grand vision, I envy you greatly. I also wish I could have such a grand vision."

Venerable Fu Ping also possesses divine artifacts, but he only has two Power Divine Item. As for Dao Divine Artifact? Not to mention those of his own profession, he doesn't have any of other types either.

Zhao Xing suddenly produced nine items, which truly shocked him.

What defines a rich person?

With a family fortune like Zhao Xing's, he's considered incredibly wealthy even among Demigod.

Of course, it's quite impressive that Yu Ye and Sai Yan could produce a time-space artifact.

"Two people making money is always faster than one." After the deal was finalized, Venerable Sai Yan joked, "Brother Fu Ping, you should find Dao Companion too."

"I'd like to too, but I haven't found the right one yet," Venerable Fu Ping said with a smile.

The circle of Demigod is neither small nor large. Dao Companion must share all secrets and be together through life and death. The longer they live, the harder it is for them to fall in love.

Driven by selfish desires and enjoyment, what kind of Mechanical Puppet can't one create?

"If only I had a biological sister," Venerable Sai Yan said with a smile.

"If you have one, please introduce him to me?" Venerable Fu Ping asked.

"Of course I'll introduce him to Brother Zhao. He's much richer than you," Venerable Sai Yan teased.

Zhao Xing chuckled to himself.

"Yu Ye, you have to do something about this! She's stabbing my Dao heart in the back!" Venerable Fu Ping clutched his chest with one hand and pointed at Sai Yan with the other. "I won't recover until I've accumulated at least 100,000 or 200,000 Contribution Points."

"Fu Ping, do you think I can handle this?" Yu Ye said helplessly, "Paying compensation is even more impossible; it's all in Sai Yan's hands."

"What a terrible thing!" Venerable Fu Ping slammed his fist on the table.

"Ha ha ha ha."

In the following period, Zhao Xing did not get another suitable opportunity to exchange his currency.

The remaining seven divine artifacts were still in his possession.

As the Third Era of the Desolate Territory approaches, Zhao Xing's Contribution Points task has also entered a temporary standstill.

He no longer leaves the Spirit Starfield, and even his clones no longer leave the Empire.

They were simply undertaking two extremely difficult tasks left behind by the Immeasurable True God.

That is, the cultivation of the History Book Worm" and the Fang Ji Flower God Seed.

Zhao Xing obtained some Ancient Demon History Book and rubbings of Ancient Kingdom History Book from Feng Chen, the Grand Elder of the Academy City, to feed the History Book Worm.

At the same time, he began to cultivate the Mind Will Method "Great Dark Heavens" that Feng Chen had taught him.

Times have changed. This secret technique of Demigod will can no longer affect his mind and give birth to an evil split soul.

In the last World Star Year of the Second Era of the Desolate Territory.

Zhao Xing stopped cultivating.

"The Three Realms of the Great Dark Heavens"

"The Great Dark Heavens, the Single Thought Asura, the Immovable Wisdom King."

"I have cultivated to the highest level, [Immovable Wisdom King]."

"The Primordial Beginning Straw Man's split soul has reached 200 over the years. Apart from the missing Study Abroad Clone, the clone from the Ancient Hill of Antiquity has not returned."

"I am now 198 times stronger than the Twelve Tribulation True Spirit."

"Possessing the thirteenth-level Heaven and Earth Primal Chaos Sacred Body, and simultaneously combining the techniques and methods of the Heavenly Timing, Earthly Advantage, and Self Schools."

"The fortune of the Thirty-first Level."

"I possess twenty-one divine artifacts. Among them, the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle, the Azure Water Golden Divine Gourd, the Primal Wheel, the White Jade Five Tombs Ship, the Space-Time Guyu Dharma Robe, and the Primal Chaos Dao Tower are all usable."

Zhao Xing stood on the "Desperate Long Wall Circumstances" at Jiachen Pass, gazing at the starry sky.

He has made ample preparations to welcome the arrival of the Third Era of the Desolate Territory.

He and Ji Si temporarily stored all the important figures of the Great Zhou in the Eight Directions Divine Mirror, leaving only insignificant magical clones to manage the daily operations.

At this time, the seven ancient roads of Jiachen Pass were also under martial law, and the [Desperate Long Wall] was both a legion-level divine skill and a team-based imperial artifact.

It has already been launched.

This made the already massive Jiachen Pass even more magnificent.

"Ji Si, is everything arranged?" A second figure appeared on the lonely city wall; it was Ji Si.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, we have checked it several times, and everything is arranged according to plan."

"Do you sense anything?" Zhao Xing asked.

Ji Si shook her head.

Both inside and outside the pass were peaceful, but neither of them let their guard down.

Ji Si did not hide in the Celestial Master Mansion, nor did Zhao Xing hide in the Primordial Beginning Realm.

At this crucial moment, neither of them shirked their responsibilities; they had to step forward and actively protect the people of the Great Zhou.

"An unseen enemy, a war that never begins—this is probably the most difficult war I've ever fought," Ji Si with some emotion. "Grand Minister of Agriculture, do you think this era can win?"

"Human effort can overcome any obstacle; human determination can conquer nature."

Ji Si nodded, seemingly gaining confidence.

The two then stood side by side in silence, quietly waiting for the last day to pass.

"Clang~~"

At a certain moment, inside Jiachen Pass, the clock on Crystal Island rang.

The Era Hand, Sun Hand, and World Star Hand all overlap.

The clock in Zhao Xing's mind had also passed the fourth quarter of Rat Hour.

Inside and outside the pass, all was peaceful, with only the sound of bells echoing.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, is everything alright?"

"Ji Si, I'm fine. Are you alright?"

Zhao Xing and Ji Si exchanged greetings.

"I'm fine too." Ji Si breathed a sigh of relief, "Looks like now isn't the time."

But at that moment, Zhao Xing's eyes suddenly sharpened.

The sea of nothingness churned within my body.

The Extreme Star Reflection in the sea began to rotate.

"Metaphor"

At this moment, Zhao Xing's Great Sun Sea churned, and the Extreme Star Reflection, which was originally fixed, began to rotate, as if it were resonating with countless Sun Star.

Zhao Xing could clearly sense the rotation of the Solar Yang and stars, which made his range of perception incredibly wide, many times larger than usual.

The next moment, Zhao Xing turned his head and looked towards the southern part of the Xuanling Star Domain.

"Metaphor"

In the southern part of the Xuanling Star Domain, across the Oceanic Frontier, the nine most powerful Sun Star suddenly dimmed. Then, in a very short time, they went completely out.

A chill crept into Zhao Xing's eyes. Before the nine top-tier Sun Star extinguished, he witnessed an unforgettable scene.

All tens of thousands of star sectors in the Oceanic Frontier suddenly froze over, and the Star Continent and Realm Star all seemed to be frozen.

Whether it was a sea of matter or a turbulent void, everything was rapidly condensing, and the ice layer was spreading, like a death line advancing towards the Xuanling Star Domain.

"No, Ji Si, it has happened."
