Fusion and Breakthrough: Creating the Heaven and Earth Attainment Method?
The mountains are as green as ink, and lie like silkworm eyebrows; this is called Brow Mountain.
If we consider the main continent of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity as a face, then Brow Mountain is its beautiful eyebrow.
The spiritual energy index of most areas in the Brow Mountain range exceeds 40,000.
Any mountain peak moved to an ancient kingdom could become its Land of Fengshan.
Since the tenth era before the Desolate Territory, the Celestial Demon Ancient Kingdom has repeatedly sent large ceremonial processions to visit Brow Mountain.
They even offered a sky-high price of several billion Contribution Points just to bring back a mountain from Brow Mountain to be worshipped as Spirit Mountain, but each time the Venerable Meishan refused.
Zhao Xing and Lord Lushan traversed various regions, passed through several hollow tunnels, and changed Earth Piercing Divine Boat several times before entering a red-layered landscape characterized by steep cliffs and slopes. This was the Brow Mountain area.
Upon reaching the ground and soaring into the sky, the red color gradually diminishes, and looking down, one sees a mix of blue, red, and gold.
Brow Mountain has a variety of nanmu wood, which is a superior material for parts of Realm Ship. It is also widely used for defense, teleportation array setup, and Spirit Gathering Array Series for personal cultivation.
After flying with Venerable Lushan for a while, many Demon Race began to appear in the air and on the ground.
Some are adults, but the vast majority are juveniles.
They frolic in the mountains and forests, and are not flustered when they see people; instead, they will take the initiative to greet them.
"Those are the Ancient Demon Race," Lord Lushan explained. "Some are locals, and some were sent by the demon kingdom."
"If you continue westward for seven more major mountain ranges, you will find two high-grade Life Earth Palace: one is the ' Celestial Demon Palace,' and the other is the ' Myriad Demon Palace.'"
Specifically intended for use by the two ancient kingdoms of the Demon Race.
Even without the Venerable Lushan's introduction, Zhao Xing already knew about these two Earth Palace.
In his previous life, he had also raised powerful Demon Race cubs. To purchase the right to breed two palaces, one needed to spend 1 million Contribution Points.
This only covers the 30-year stay; if you want to stay longer after 30 years, you'll have to pay an extra fee.
Besides Contribution Points, they also accept Profound Spirit Ancient Coin and Five Emperors Coins, both of which are incredibly expensive.
"I heard that 150 years ago, the Lord of the Myriad Demon Kingdom brought up the old matter again, wanting to buy a mountain peak and move it back with him?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Yes," Venerable Lushan laughed, "This guy is really persistent. He's been scolded so many times, but he still hasn't given up on this idea."
"Last time he came with a bunch of gifts, Venerable Meishan received him and subtly expressed his idea, but was then scolded."
"He's not angry."
"Angry? The Lord of the Myriad Demon Kingdom still has to listen to Venerable Meishan's rant with a smile."
Zhao Xing smiled upon hearing this.
Normally speaking, Venerable Meishan's status is slightly higher than that of the Lord of the Myriad Demon Kingdom, but not by such a large margin; their strengths are not that different.
Even if Venerable Meishan pointed at the Lord of the Kingdom and cursed him, he had to endure it.
Not only him, but also the Celestial Demon Kingdom King.
The Demon Race still has to find all sorts of ways to please the Ancient Hill of Antiquity.
Why is this the case?
The earth, with its vast and generous nature, nurtures all living things, but in some places, life is born with exceptional strength.
The ancient Earth Vein of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity have a particularly significant positive impact on the descendants of the Demon Race race.
Regardless of whether they are born from moisture, womb, egg, or transformation, as long as they are born in the Three Realms and Twelve Mountains of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity, they will spend their infancy there.
As it grew up, this Demon Race's talent, comprehension, and bloodline growth rate far surpassed those of Demon Race born in other places.
As early as the Five Emperors Era, there were legends of pilgrimages to the ancient times among the ten demon kingdoms.
The Ancient Hill of Antiquity also has a tradition of opening its gates every now and then to take in some of the descendants of the Demon Race. The Ten Great Demon Kingdoms now send some young beasts or adult Demon Race couples here every now and then to carefully raise their offspring.
In the early stages of developing the Si Yue Desolate Territory, the Demon Race attacked the Red Star Empire, the Ancient Barren Domain Kingdom, and even the Origin Heavenly Palace and the Reincarnation Temple. However, they rarely invaded the ancient road project led by the Ancient Hill of Antiquity, and even when they did, they were just ignorant little demons.
The Karma War that occurred around Zhao Xing attracted the attention of the Demon God Hall.
However, the Demon God Hall had no intention of harming Zhao Xing; they were merely curious.
Even later, in the World Transfer Tower, he was tricked because of Zhao Xing's matter.
After that, no Demon Race came to cause trouble for Zhao Xing.
Even with the appearance of Venerable Bomeng at the Origin Heavenly Palace this time, it was only a very minor competition, and the person sent was still Bo Meng, who was also at the twelfth level of cultivation.
The reason for this is not that the Demon Race is afraid of the Red Star Empire, nor is it because of Zhao Xing's status as a genius from the Primordial Beginning Realm.
Rather, it is because Zhao Xing is a genius from the Ancient Hill of Antiquity, who has mastered the Life Earth Palace, studied under Venerable Meishan, and received the teachings of Divine Venerable Lan!
Even Zhao Xing's Theory of Law were popular in the Celestial Demon Ancient Kingdom, and the establishment of the World Mountain Society and the Annihilating Star Society was all due to the influence of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity. "The birth of Demon Race is not easy." Venerable Lushan looked at the cute young beasts below. "As the Cosmic Laws change at different stages, Demon Race with high bloodline talents are more and more likely to die young, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain a strong bloodline."
Zhao Xing nodded. Looking at the history of life, plants, animals, and even newly born microcosms all decrease in size and quality from large to small and from high to low.
As the Cosmic Laws change over time, they enter different Annihilation Stage, making it increasingly difficult for naturally powerful races to emerge. This may even lead to the natural extinction of some races.
The ' Horned Abyss Snake ' that Zhao Xing once encountered is probably less than a hundred in the entire Xuanling Star Domain.
Without a suitable environment, a powerful race can weaken or even become extinct.
The Three Realms and Twelve Mountains of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity preserve the Earth Vein from the Archean Eon, the Ancient Eon, and the Dao Manifestation Universe. This means that the Ancient Hill of Antiquity has preserved a suitable environment for nurturing powerful life.
Generation after generation of Demon Race were sent here, and over time, the Demon Race with such experiences gradually acquired another name—the Ancient Demon Race.
"The Celestial Demon Ancient Kingdom has the most slots for Demon Race to grow up in the Ancient Hill of Antiquity, followed by the Wanhe Demon Kingdom," Venerable Lushan explained to Zhao Xing. "The other eight demon kingdoms have far fewer slots, which inevitably leads to jealousy and criticism of the two major demon kingdoms."
But the Celestial Demon Ancient Kingdom and the Wanhe Demon Kingdom didn't care at all. Appeasing the Ancient Hill of Antiquity was the same as appeasing Mother Earth. What was there to be attacked for?
Furthermore, the name of the Ancient Demon Race is so resounding and powerful.
It can be said that this group of Demon Race completely disregarded external opinions, both mentally and physically, and instead took pride in being part of the Ancient Demon Race.
"Look, another little fellow is about to Transformation." As they were chatting, Venerable Lushan suddenly pointed downwards.
On a small hilltop, a spotted wolf with gray fur jumped onto a tree trunk.
"Roar~"
With a loud shout, the sky around the tree suddenly darkened.
Suddenly, a large amount of earth energy emanated from the mountain peak, gathering into clouds, and a full moon appeared in the clouds.
Before long, the spotted gray wolf began to shed its fur and stood upright.
"This is a Silvermoon Heavenly Wolf." Venerable Lushan stopped to observe. "In the Ancient Hill of Antiquity, the essential skill for these Demon Race is the Di Bian Method Transformation a human."
Zhao Xing watched with great interest.
The essence of the Di Bian Method and the Hou Bian Method is actually the same: both are methods to cause drastic changes in life within a very short period of time, thereby drawing upon the power of heaven and earth.
The only difference is that the Time Faction and the Earthly Advantage Faction rely on different sources of power.
The Di Bian Method is relatively less difficult than the Hou Bian Method. The danger curve of transformation is relatively smooth, and it is not as dangerous as the Hou Bian Method Time Faction.
Of course, the Di Bian Method Transformation humans was purely a form of cultural education given by the Ancient Hill of Antiquity Human Race of the Hill to the Demon Race.
With this step, the Ancient Demon Race will have a stronger sense of identity with the Human Race.
"Awooo~"
Three more loud shouts followed.
In the fourth tone, the vocal tone also begins to change.
"Ahhh, I finally did it! Hahaha!"
The voice was very young, and you could tell that the child was very happy.
After transforming into human form, Silvermoon Heavenly Wolf danced wildly and became unrestrained.
"Oh wow~ It's done, it's done~"
Venerable Lushan couldn't help but chuckle, but Zhao Xing's expression was strange.
Because the guy below looks about 80-90% like himself after transforming, only his demeanor isn't as mature.
"Senior, what's going on?" "Maybe the little guy is related to you." Venerable Lushan joked like a playful old man.
Zhao Xing's face darkened.
"Hahaha." Venerable Lushan laughed loudly, "What else could it be? Of course, it's because you, Zhao Shennong, are famous."
"Hehe, back then, the Ancient Hill of Antiquity helped you hold a Dharma assembly and promote your Theory of Law. The Cenozoic Era of Ancient Demon Race larvae basically grew up reading your Theory of Law."
"Many Demon Race, having heard many of your deeds, regard you as an object of reverence. When they Transformation naturally becomes their first model."
Zhao Xing was speechless; he felt something was off.
I wonder if I'll see many Demon Race with my face on the Ancient Hill of Antiquity?
"Don't worry, this little guy is just playing around," Venerable Lushan said. "It's okay for a young demon beast to secretly change your appearance, but if an adult beast were to transform into you, it would be punished by the Ancient Hill of Antiquity."
"You are Demigod, and your status in my Ancient Hill of Antiquity is not low. How can you allow anyone to defile you?"
Zhao Xing nodded.
There are strict rules regarding the transformation of the Di Bian Method Transformation. Without the corresponding authorization or the Life Dao Diagram, it is very dangerous to arbitrarily change the form of a Demigod.
This little guy is only at the Establish Dao Realm, merely at the mental image level.
Unless they obtain their own Life Dao Diagram, such as by cultivating the "Nine Marsh God" and having a complete cultivation method, wolf demons cannot reach the level of Dao image or god image.
Even if one reaches the level of a Daoist or a Divine being, one will still experience causal cognition when the wolf demon transforms.
"Thinking about it this way, what Lao Qing did in the past was not only daring, but also a technical skill."
The two only stayed for a short while before quickly leaving the area.
As they continued forward, the number of bystanders gradually decreased.
About two days later, we entered the main peak area.
"Brow Mountain has seventy-two main peaks, more than my Reed Mountain."
"The Mountain Head Competition will begin with the first round of selection from within the Twelve Mountains."
"Zhao Xing, the situation is special now. The gods of the Three Realms have decided to start the Twelve Mountains Dharma Assembly as soon as possible to select a new mountain leader."
"If you want to participate in the Mountain Head Competition, you must first stand out from within Brow Mountain and then compete with masters from other mountains."
Lord Lushan and Zhao Xing emerged from underground and appeared under a mountain gate pillar.
Surrounded by swirling clouds and shimmering light, the mountain peaks appeared and disappeared amidst the clouds, possessing an extraordinary charm.
"I'll leave you here. You should know how to get in from here."
"Thank you for guiding me." Zhao Xing could now clearly sense the presence of the split soul.
Gradually accepting the memories from the split soul, one will naturally know where to go.
"It's alright to Guest Qi Guest Qi off the field," said Lord Lushan with a smile. "If we meet on the field, don't be Guest Qi with me."
Lord Lushan is also Demigod, and he will definitely represent Reed Mountain in the Mountain Head Competition.
Zhao Xing smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, "Definitely."
"Let's go!"
Lord Lushan shrank in size, disappearing into the ground like a wisp of green smoke, and his aura vanished in the blink of an eye.
"Lord Lushan's escape techniques are also very sophisticated, far more sophisticated than what I learned during my Dao Domain Realm period."
"I wonder how much my divided soul has learned in these three thousand years."
Zhao Xing closed his eyes and meditated for a moment. When he opened them again, he already knew how to open the barrier of Brow Mountain Gate.
With his hands forming a hand seal, a small opening appeared in the mountain gate's barrier, allowing Zhao Xing to slip through the ground and flee towards the highest peak of Brow Mountain.
The highest peak in Brow Mountain is called Green Ridge.
Zhao Xing traveled unimpeded all the way to the main hall at the top of the mountain.
When the disciples and spirit beasts passing by saw Zhao Xing appear, they all stopped and bowed.
"Greetings, Martial Uncle."
"Greetings, Senior Brother."
"Greetings, Martial Uncle."
"Greetings, Divine Palace Envoy."
Zhao Xing smiled and returned the greeting.
The divided soul has cultivated here for three thousand years, and its identity has undergone many changes.
Initially, he was guided by Emperor Hongshan and became a disciple of the Hong Shan lineage.
However, Emperor Hongshan was merely providing routine guidance at the time; he was in the position of Dao Master, but not in the Dao Master.
Later, Zhao Xing wrote the Dao Manifestation Universe Theory of Earth Epoch Cataclysm and held a series of Dharma assemblies.
At that time, Demigod decreed that Zhao Xing's status should be elevated.
When Lord Lushan came to teach, he was in fact Dao Master, but he did not have the title of Dao Master.
He continued until the Tanxing Dharma Assembly was held, when he cultivated an avatar to go to Brow Mountain.
However, Venerable Meishan only taught Zhao Xing and did not establish a master-disciple relationship with him.
It wasn't until Divine Venerable Lan stepped forward that it was confirmed that Zhao Xing's first Dao Master was Divine Venerable Lan.
In other words, he is now considered the youngest junior disciple of Venerable Meishan.
Of course, seniority wasn't that important at Ancient Hill of Antiquity; learning had no order of precedence, and those who reached the highest level were considered teachers. Therefore, only Dao Master had undergone formal rites were considered teachers.
It is a relatively important identity relationship.
Those with a more significant stake in the matter are the various positions within Ancient Hill of Antiquity.
The Earth Treasury Department, the Earth Palace Department, the Earth Passage Department, the Mystic Earth Department, the Mountain and Sea Department, the Mountain Temple, the Palace Treasury, various Dao Academy, the Fengyuan Dao, the Xinghai Dao, and other major Earth Dao Envoy, etc.
The internal structure of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity is vast and complex. The Twelve Mountains are like twelve ancient kingdoms, and the highest-ranking person is the Mountain Chief.
These twelve Mountain Chief, among whom there is a supreme mountain head who holds the highest authority over the secular affairs of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity.
The gods of the three realms— the Primordial Realm, the Primal Ancient Realm, and the Dao Manifestation Realm —do not participate in worldly affairs, as getting entangled in karma is a rather troublesome matter for the Divine Realm.
In this respect, the Red Star Empire, the Primordial Beginning Realm, and the Ancient Hill of Antiquity are similar, with the Gu Luo River in the Primordial Beginning Realm being the supreme ruler.
However, long ago, Gu Luo River's status was already equivalent to that of the Divine Realm, and he delegated many powers to Five Poisons, Zuo Qiyu, and others.
This is Zhao Xing's first time here, but his divided soul has been here for over three thousand years.
Therefore, the disciples were used to Zhao Xing's appearance, and after bowing, they went back to their own business.
Among these titles, the one that carries the most weight for Zhao Xing is "Divine Palace Envoy," a position he held in Brow Mountain.
To facilitate Zhao Xing's cultivation, Venerable Meishan promoted Zhao Xing's Soul Fragment to the position of [Divine Palace Envoy] after Zhao Xing's divided soul completed several missions.
This position involves managing the Earth Palace and the operation of the Earth Vein to suppress those born demon gods, and checking for any omissions or deficiencies.
Zhao Xing's true form stepped into the main hall, which had many doors leading to different areas.
Upon opening one of the doors, Zhao Xing found himself in a space filled with floating rocks and flowing lava, where he met Venerable Meishan.
"Zhao Xing, the Divine Palace Envoy, pays his respects to the Mountain Chief!"
At this moment, Venerable Meishan was above a miniature continent. He had tens of thousands of Earth Vein clones, all swimming around the glowing miniature continent.
Capture, receive, and analyze the emitted fluctuations.
This belongs to one of the methods of Yaoguang Earth Passage Art.
However, Venerable Meishan's cultivation was clearly extremely profound. Zhao Xing discovered that he could sense that most of Venerable Meishan's clones contained strong time fluctuations.
Looking at his clone, Zhao Xing felt his biological clock go haywire.
"Zhao Xing, you've arrived." The true form of Venerable Meishan pointed.
The light of the miniature continent dimmed instantly, its overall shape changed, and the edges bulged up, like petals closing, forming the shape of an iceberg in the blink of an eye.
Then it quickly shrank and landed in the palm of Venerable Meishan.
Zhao Xing no longer felt any sense of time confusion.
"Do you still recognize this treasure?" Venerable Meishan asked.
"I recognize it," Zhao Xing nodded. "This is one of the divine artifacts of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity, ' Yuan Ji Mountain '."
The divine artifact Yuan Ji Mountain, was refined from the essence of all the Spirit Mountain and Earth Vein from the Archean Eon Era to the Desolate Territory Era.
It was continuously replenished by generations of mountain chiefs, making it a divine artifact that grew stronger with each refinement.
Venerable Meishan nodded. "One of the most important functions of Yuan Ji Mountain is that it allows Yuan Ji Mountain to perform the ' Spacetime Earth Passage Art '."
"Because this artifact contains the essence of the Earth Vein of a Spirit Mountain from every era."
"Holding the [Yuan Ji Mountain], one can use the Spacetime Earth Passage Art to communicate with countless time-spaces."
"The Spirit Mountain, whose Earth Vein essence has been excavated, are the time and space anchors left by the ancestors of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity."
"The Earth Passage Art can receive and transmit messages through these mountains that exist in space and time."
"Theoretically speaking, this artifact can allow people to travel through time and space."
Traveling through time and space? Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised; it turned out that the Ancient Hill of Antiquity also possessed such a method.
"Of course, this is only in theory," Venerable Meishan said helplessly. "As a super power, the clan history records that a long time ago, the mountain chief could use it to travel through time and space."
"However, due to the refinement of each generation, this artifact has become stronger and stronger, and even the teacher cannot activate this function."
"My strength as the head of this mountain is even more limited. Not only am I unable to fully understand it, but I have also been affected by the Master of Cold Food Festival, causing Yuan Ji Mountain to lose the sensing of more than a dozen time anchor points —"
Venerable Meishan sighed with some self-reproach, "The Cold Food God King is merely an avatar, yet he is so powerful."
"Although the gods of the Three Realms have not blamed me, this is still a disgrace in my heart."
"I have decided to step down as the mountain chief ahead of schedule and travel back through the time-space portal to a certain secret place to break through."
"After I step down, a new round of Mountain Head Competition will begin."
The Venerable Meishan looked at Zhao Xing expectantly. "Junior Brother, once you win the position of the mountain leader, you must help your Senior Brother repair this negative influence."
Zhao Xing said somewhat fearfully, "I will do my best to participate in the Dharma assembly, but my cultivation is still shallow, and I am afraid I will fail your expectations."
Venerable Meishan laughed and said, "Junior Brother, you haven't fused with your split soul yet, so it's normal to have such worries."
"Don't worry, you won't think that way after you merge with your split soul."
Zhao Xing has indeed not yet merged with the split soul. He can only receive some less important memories through remote sensing.
Cultivating memories, which contain the origin of the Dao, still requires merging the divided soul with the original body.
Venerable Meishan waved his hand, and a door appeared in the void. "Five hundred years after you came to the Ancient Hill of Antiquity, I have nothing left to teach you."
"For the next two thousand six hundred years, your divided soul stayed in the Primal Ancient Realm, cultivating in your teacher's divine domain."
"The reason you couldn't summon your divided soul after you returned, and your senses were blurred, is because of this."
"Now that you're here, go and integrate."
"Your teacher is waiting for you."
"Yes, Senior Brother."
Zhao Xing took a deep breath and flew into the doorway.
Beyond the gate lay a completely different world, and Zhao Xing felt as if everything had changed.
The sky became clearer, the earth became more substantial, and although the concentration of spiritual energy did not increase significantly, the Great Dao Origin seemed to have become several times stronger.
At this moment, the coordinates on the panel indicated that he had entered the Lanchuan Divine Domain of the Primal Ancient Realm.
"The God Official Lanchuan I encountered in the Profound Yellow World's historical timeline is indeed the current Divine Venerable Lan."
"Is this the Primal Ancient Realm Primal Ancient Realm? I feel that as long as I adapt to this environment, it won't be long before I become stronger."
The Primal Ancient Realm has greatly preserved the environment of the early universe's origin, making the environment for enlightenment and cultivation better. Even if you do nothing, as long as you live there and adapt, you will become stronger, and your chances of cultivating your Origin Godhood are greater.
No wonder the Evil God all want to escape to the past. This is only the Primal Ancient Realm. If they were truly in the past, they probably wouldn't want to come back.
Just as Zhao Xing was feeling sentimental, a palace emerged from the ground amidst the gray earth.
Divine Venerable Lan and his clone walked out of the palace and came up the steps.
The Divine Venerable Lan was dressed in a gray robe and straw sandals, with his hair held up with a white jade hairpin, his attire was very simple.
He appeared to be a middle-aged man, and there were no supernatural phenomena surrounding him.
It matches the image I initially saw.
"Zhao Xing, it's been a long time." Lan Chuan smiled as he looked at Zhao Xing in person.
With a "whoosh," Zhao Xing landed immediately, bowed, and said, "Disciple Zhao Xing greets the Divine Lord."
"No need for formalities." Lan Chuan waved his hand. "The Mountain Head Competition is imminent, and you don't have much time to prepare. There are some things I need to say..."
I've already given you my divided soul.
"You will know after you merge with the split soul. Go, take your clone out and merge with it."
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Xing reached out and the Straw Man Clone was taken away.
The reason for fusing outside the Primal Ancient Realm is that the origin of the Primal Ancient Realm is significantly different from the outside world. The divided soul has adapted, but the original body has not. Fusing outside allows for comprehension and comparison.
The 30th underground level of Brow Mountain, Flowing Lake City, South Mountain Manor
For three thousand years, if Zhao Xing's Soul Fragment had stayed in the outside world, it would have resided in Nanshan Manor.
There are multiple underground spaces in Brow Mountain. The first thirty layers are all living and cultivation spaces, with many Thousand Earth Wonders for people to contemplate.
Thirty levels below ground, down to the ninety-ninth level, lies the place where the descendants of the demon god are imprisoned.
The last level is where the underground demon is imprisoned.
Born underground and influenced by the flow of energy, these naturally Innate God are all tyrannical, bloodthirsty, and possess a strong Divine Realm towards destruction; hence, they are called demon gods.
"Boom"
After Zhao Xing merged with the split soul, the surrounding Earth Vein began to tremble, and the various origins of the Five Elements Wind-Thunder, yin and yang began to merge with the origin within the body of the original body.
"It's begun." A large number of cultivation memories surfaced in Zhao Xing's mind.
The most memorable scene related to cultivation is, of course, the scene of transcending tribulation.
Zhao Xing first witnessed the Ninth True Spirit Tribulation, which took place at the summit of Green Ridge, 350 years after his divided soul arrived.
Venerable Meishan stood guard on the side.
"Junior brother, your Great Beginning Clone does not have the Extreme Continent Cultivation Method, so you can only rely on your magic power and the Earthly Advantage Method to overcome the tribulation."
"The Ninth True Spirit Tribulation is crucial to becoming Demigod, but it is still somewhat dangerous. I will protect you on your path."
"Thank you, Senior Brother."
Having said that, he deliberately brought about the calamity, and the Ninth True Spirit Tribulation immediately descended.
This tangible calamity did not come from the sky, but rather from the ground.
Suddenly, cracks appeared beneath his feet, and the Earth Vein fire surged forth, engulfing his entire body.
"Ll feed~"
The split Soul Body did not have the Extreme Land bonus, but it cultivated a variety of Earthly Advantage Cultivation Method that could be compatible with the straw man's body, although the Extreme Land amplification was not as strong.
When the local fire calamity appeared, Zhao Xing's Soul Fragment immediately cast a spell.
"Boom!"
Five streams of magical power surged forth from his body, condensing into five earth stones.
"Bang bang bang~~"
The five stones, each a different color, resembled five Spirit Pearl, rolling and swirling in the air.
As the earth stones rotated, they crushed the void, distorting even the path of the erupting earth fire.
"Mouth meow~"
The calamity of earth fire was extremely swift, constantly scorching the space, but because Venerable Meishan was nearby, the area affected was not large.
"The Five Elements Spirit Pearls Earth Palace." Zhao Xing felt the same way, comprehending the secret technique used by his divided soul during his tribulation.
"This is one of the types Life Demon God Earth Palace."
The full name of the Life Earth Palace is the Life Demon God Earth Palace, and the Demon God of Life Agalu, possesses a variety of innate abilities.
Having been suppressed and studied for countless years, many secret techniques naturally emerged.
The Five Elements Spirit Pearls Earth Palace is one such example.
"The five Spirit Pearl correspond to the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The magic power draws upon these five fundamental elements, creating a cycle of mutual generation and integrating offense and defense."
"As long as it keeps rolling, its power can continue to accumulate, drawing upon all the surrounding essence for its own use."
"Earth Palace Art are often limited by the environment, but these five earth stones are mobile Earth Palace, free from environmental limitations, and will not be affected even in the void of the universe."
The Five Elements Spirit Pearls Earth Palace has two main characteristics: it is movable and it can roll, resulting in a very high upper limit for the accumulation of power.
The tribulation of earth fire that Zhao Xing's Soul Fragment experienced during his breakthrough to Demigod was easily resisted by his divided soul.
When the cultivation memories merged and the origin was assimilated, a prompt appeared on Zhao Xing's panel.
You have learned the "Five Elements Spirit Pearl Earth Palace Art"
[The Five Elements Spirit Pearls Earth Palace (Demigod Method)]
However, only a moment later, after Zhao Xing finished absorbing the cultivation memories, the panel underwent new changes.
[The Five Extremes Spirit Pearls Earth Palace (Complete)]
[Note: When activated using the fourth level of the "Extreme Land" magic, it becomes the Five Extremes Spirit Pearl Earth Palace Art.]
[The Spirit Pearl is the Earth Palace. When the five primal elements are condensed to their extreme, divine power is born from the Spirit Pearl, allowing one to cultivate the Five Extremes Free God Body.]
"Combined with the Extreme Land, it becomes the Five Extremes Spirit Pearl Earth Palace Art."
"Once the Extreme Land reaches the fifth level, it will become a secret technique of the Free God."
This being possesses the Extreme Continent Cultivation Method, but lacks the memory and understanding of cultivating Earthly Advantage Method.
The divided soul does not have the Extreme Land, but it has the memories and insights of secret techniques.
When cultivation memories are combined, it's like one plus one equals more than two.
This secret technique reached the pinnacle of Demigod arts in the blink of an eye.
Once the Extreme Land is breached, Demigod magic can Universal Promotion god-level magic.
The memories continue to merge.
The tenth True Spirit Tribulation occurred five hundred years after arriving at the Ancient Hill of Antiquity.
"Junior brother, I have nothing more to teach you." Venerable Meishan stood atop Green Ridge, looking at Zhao Xing with some emotion.
"Next, you will undergo your tenth True Spirit Tribulation. Once you reach the Tenth-Level True Spirit, you will enter the Primal Ancient Realm and will no longer be affected by its extremely powerful origin."
"Your master will personally teach you. Of course, you will need to undergo each tribulation in the outside world, as it is inconvenient to undergo tribulations in the Primal Ancient Realm."
"Yes, Senior Brother."
The split soul actively triggered the tenth True Spirit Tribulation, and this time it was still a tangible tribulation.
Large amounts of thunderclouds gathered in the sky, and the heavenly tribulation of lightning quickly took shape.
Because the body of the divided soul is inferior to that of the original body, the divided soul unleashed a powerful technique.
"Boom!"
Five-colored light rose from beneath Zhao Xing's feet, these lines resembling the laws of the Great Dao, weaving around his body like lines.
Before the tribulation of lightning descended, a triangular phantom of a mountain was formed, and the clone sat cross-legged at the center of the mountain.
"Boom!"
The first bolt of lightning struck, its light swirling before being quickly absorbed by the mountain. After a tremor, the mountain's form became even more solid.
And it got a little bigger!
Seeing this, Zhao Xing couldn't help but laugh.
This method is called "Layered World Mountain," but it is quite different from the Layered World Mountain created by Zhao Xing himself. Instead, it is a version deduced and created by the Divine Realm of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity.
Originally, Zhao Xing's eight spells were all created for the Earth Vein of Layered World Mountain. Although it was also called Layered World Mountain, the eight spells were not compatible and were only at the level of Major Divine Ability.
The magic was so powerful that it has now become a true Divine Level Technique.
"It keeps getting bigger and stronger, and its defenses only get stronger the more we fight it," Zhao Xing remarked.
"And this is only the first level of the [World Mountain Dharma Aspect]."
"If we encounter a powerful enemy, such as this lightning tribulation that bombards us rapidly and instantly maximizes its intensity, then we must unleash the second form."
"World Mountain Corner Peak".
Zhao Xing carefully comprehended the situation. Faced with the rapidly accumulating lightning tribulation, his clone was ultimately forced to unleash its second transformation.
The magical power within his body surged forth, and at the same time, a World Mountain Corner Peak appeared, overlapping with the [World Mountain Dharma Aspect].
This is a Layered World Mountain Corner Peak that has been refined and stored within the body. When the real and tangible matter merges with the Dharma form, the defensive capabilities suddenly increase dramatically.
No matter how fiercely it was struck by lightning, it could not harm the clone in the slightest.
They even have the power to retaliate.
Zhao Xing's initial plan for the split soul was to focus on cultivation, and he was indifferent to everything else.
Seeing that the tribulation lightning was slow to dissipate, the divided soul, in order to hurry up and cultivate, began to fight back.
The Corner Peak, which had been transformed into a thunderous peak, suddenly soared into the air, its sharp Corner Peak shooting upwards, forming a sharp lightning shield.
"Boom!"
The calamity clouds were thus dispersed by the impact.
You have learned the "Layered World Mountain Method"
[Layered World Mountain (Demigod Method): First Boundary World Mountain Dharma Aspect, Second World Mountain Corner Peak.]
Zhao Xing closed his eyes and pondered, just like before, when the Extreme Continent Cultivation Method was activated, it was driven by the Extreme Land Mana.
The secret method has changed its name again.
[Extreme Land Layered World Mountain]
[First Stage: World Mountain Dharma Aspect (Complete)]
[Second Stage: World Mountain Corner Peak (Completion)]
Zhao Xing vaguely felt that this method had a higher direction, so he stopped and began to deduce it on his own.
Finally, his body trembled, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.
On the display board, a third realm appeared regarding the Extreme Land Layered World Mountain.
[Third Level: Extreme Land Divine Mountain (Unverified)]
[Dao Attainment Item: None available at present]
[Dao Attainment Land: Not Selected]
[The Heaven and Earth Attainment Method: After completing the steps, one can attempt to ascend to the Divine Realm of the Extreme Land Divine Mountain. If successful, one will attain the Divine Realm and become the Tribulationless Mountain God.]
"My understanding of merging with the divided souls just now had a flash of inspiration. After some deduction, I actually came up with a theoretical Heaven and Earth Attainment Method?" Zhao Xing was somewhat shocked.
Although the third realm, the Extreme Land Divine Mountain, is still only a theoretical method that I haven't mastered yet, at least I have a direction.
"It's appearing on the panel, does that mean it's highly feasible?" Zhao Xing asked excitedly.
He had studied Wei Tianchen's Heaven Mending Method and the Earth Refining Art. Theoretically speaking, these two methods were also Heaven and Earth Attainment Method, but they did not appear on the panel.
"It was definitely worth the trip to Ancient Hill of Antiquity."
The Divine Realm of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity was deduced to have two levels. As the creator, after integrating the insights of the divided soul, he actually created a third level of theory on the method of becoming a god and proving the Dao.
"The Dao Attainment Land, the Dao Attainment Item, it seems to be related to the mountain," Zhao Xing pondered.
"The Tribulationless True God" is a general term; there are also specific gods such as the Tribulationless Mountain God, the God of No Calamity River, and the God of No Calamity Star.
"If one's body is transformed into Sacred Mountain, one's lifespan will be infinite, thus not violating the lifespan limit of the Cosmic Laws, and naturally one will not need to undergo Divine Tribulation."
Suppressing the urge to unleash his power immediately, Zhao Xing continued to integrate his cultivation insights from the split soul.
The scene from my memory is replayed once again.
The eleventh True Spirit Tribulation occurred 1,500 years after the avatar arrived at the Ancient Hill of Antiquity.
"Junior brother, are you going to undergo another tribulation this time?" Venerable Meishan asked as he saw Zhao Xing emerge from the Primal Ancient Realm.
"Hmm," the clone replied calmly. "Please Guardian Art, Senior Brother."
"Good, good." Even Venerable Meishan was somewhat shocked.
True Spirit Tribulation occurs once every five hundred years, which is still extremely fast.
It was the Primordial Beginning Straw Man's physical form that limited the divided soul's ability to function, forcing the divided soul to raise its understanding of secret techniques to an extremely high level.
If I were here, wouldn't I have already overcome this?
During the eleventh True Spirit Tribulation, Venerable Meishan did not witness the formation of the calamity.
Just as he was wondering if this was an unseen calamity.
Zhao Xing, however, saw a blue river suddenly appear half a meter in front of him from his memory.
It then spread rapidly, like a water film, enveloping the clone closely.
At the same time, Zhao Xing's clone became illusory, flickering incessantly.
"The River of Time, space flickers—is this a Space-Time Tribulation?!"
Zhao Xing recalled that he found it all rather strange.
The clone actually encountered a spacetime tribulation that is extremely rare in the True Spirit Tribulation!
Even in the vast and complex Dao Book, there are very few records of time-space calamities.
Demigod typically cannot grasp the Time Origin; at most, they can only invoke a Time Origin and utilize it on a very limited scale.
Even among Divine General, not all can master it. To travel back in River of Time, one needs a divine artifact or the guidance of God King.
"The split soul triggering the calamity of time is probably related to comprehending the suppressed Time-Space Demon God in the Primal Ancient Realm," Zhao Xing thought to himself. At this moment, he could sense everything that the split soul had sensed at that time.
A tiny tributary branched off from the River of Time and descended, triggering a temporal catastrophe.
In the First Tier, the straw doll body of the clone began to decay rapidly.
It is quite obvious that the material of the clone's body has wrinkles, as if the person has aged.
At the same time, time also flows within the divided soul located in the Soul Tree Heart (Reincarnation Dao Soldier Level).
If you can't withstand it, you will age rapidly, eventually collapse, and return to the origin of the universe.
Logically speaking, a divided soul should not be able to withstand such a calamity.
However, after a few breaths, both the divided soul and the body quickly stabilized.
At this moment, Zhao Xing finally understood the meaning of the words Divine Venerable Lan when he met his true self: some words and some laws become clear once the divided soul is merged.
"Divine Venerable Lan, you actually taught me the Spacetime Earth Passage Art, which can only be learned at the mountain's peak?"
Zhao Xing was stunned.
What is the struggle for at the Mountain Head Competition?
Of course, it's not some worldly right. The main benefit is that you can control a divine artifact and learn and comprehend some extremely powerful divine secret techniques.
The divine artifact Yuan Ji Mountain and the Spacetime Earth Passage Art are one and the same.
Only the head of the Twelve Mountains can learn it.
"This isn't how you do things, is it?" Zhao Xing was a little embarrassed.
It seems he has no choice but to fight for this mountain stronghold.
Otherwise, it would be putting Divine Venerable Lan in an unjust position.
No wonder Venerable Meishan said that after he fused with the divided soul, he would no longer feel weak.
"Although I cannot demonstrate this in the struggle for the top spot, there are still great benefits to it."
Zhao Xing carefully comprehended that his clone was aging continuously during the First Tier of the Space-Time Tribulation, but this aging was stopped after he used the Spacetime Earth Passage Art.
However, the spacetime tribulation soon entered its second phase: sending Zhao Xing's clone and his divided soul away from this spacetime.
Zhao Xing could see that at the moment of his tribulation, for a very brief instant, he entered completely different time and space.
He was either pulled into an extremely dangerous wasteland, or into a time and space where gods clashed, or into a distant and desolate future. Of course, Zhao Xing did not actually descend into those time and space.
Using the Spacetime Earth Passage Art, he was repeatedly pulled back to the starting point just before being transported to countless different timelines.
That's why Zhao Xing saw the clone constantly flashing around in place.
Three years later, Zhao Xing emerged from the South Mountain Manor.
At this moment, he had completely merged with the original.
"Phew~"
A surge of subterranean fire erupted, and the calamity of subterranean fire reappeared. Zhao Xing lightly stepped forward.
The thirteenth True Spirit Tribulation was broken by being trampled.
Immediately afterwards, the main body took the lead among the many other divided souls and reached the Thirteen Tribulation True Spirit.
"After the fusion is complete, my strength will increase greatly, and I can definitely break through to the thirteenth-level Demigod realm." Zhao Xing was in a good mood.
For a powerful Demigod, undergoing tribulation is more beneficial than harmful.
"Senior Brother Brow Mountain is about to retire." Zhao Xing looked at the words that appeared on the ground.
That was a message from Venerable Meishan reminding him.
In eight years, the internal selection process in Brow Mountain will begin.
Of the Seventy-Two Peaks peak masters, only one will represent Brow Mountain in the battle, competing with the other eleven peak candidates for the final position of peak master.
"Eight years, I wonder if that's enough time for me to make a trip to the Black Heaven Desolate Territory and ask the Immeasurable True God for a reward."
Inside Brow Mountain, Zhao Xing was quite familiar with the area after merging with the memories of his divided soul, and the Venerables of the Seventy-Two Peaks were not much of a threat.
However, the remaining eleven mountains still have quite a few monstrous-level Venerables.
"Venerable Kuang Chuan is a formidable opponent. If I want to kill him, I must first be able to defeat him." Zhao Xing decided to take some time to accept the award.
