Extreme Land Cosmology Gone Berserk!
The Mountain Head Competition is similar to the internal competition among the mountains, but the process is slightly different.
The First Tier is the "Divine Domain Trial".
The second stage is "Debate Dao Before the Gods".
The third phase is the "Mountain Head Battle".
The three stages can be summarized as follows: first discuss the methods, then discuss the principles, and finally, practical application is king.
Zhao Xing stopped writing after completing the theoretical guidance section of "The Ten Directions Mountain Great Theory".
He did not continue writing the specific Theory of Law, because he was not confident that he would not reveal the secrets of heaven. After all, the Ten Directions Mountain involved the Dao of Destiny, and this second half of the Theory of Law was destined not to be made public, but only to be seen by the higher-ups of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity.
Even so, writing the first half took Zhao Xing a great deal of energy.
There is always an invisible resistance during the writing process.
Cause and effect, the Destiny Origin, are constantly gathering at the South Mountain Manor where Zhao Xing lives, causing strange phenomena.
Fortunately, the materials in the Dao Book were taken from the Myriad Dao Tree of the Academy City, which could greatly conceal the secrets of heaven and suppress strange phenomena.
Apart from Ji Si, who came to visit and guessed that the direction of the Grand Minister of Agriculture's discourse might be related to the Ten Directions Mountain, the rest of the people could not discern the direction of these strange phenomena.
Zhao Xing put away the Dao Book and then let out a long sigh of relief.
When he was writing the Three Era Realm Theory, he was not tired at all, and even felt very good. He received feedback from the Dao from many participants in the Dharma assembly.
Having written half of the Ten Directions Mountain Great Theory, he was extremely tired and even felt a sense of dread.
"During the writing process, my luck at Thirty-first Level actually fluctuated strongly."
"It remained below the twentieth level for a long time, and at its highest, it fluctuated to only tenth level of fortune."
"It wasn't until I stopped writing that I returned to Thirty-first Level."
Tired, exhausted.
After putting away the Dao Book, Zhao Xing went straight to sleep.
In his dream, he seemed to return to the scene where he practiced the dual cultivation of Desire Dream Method.
Fu Mengzhen and He lived a peaceful and happy life in the small county town.
In a dream, in a county town.
The wealthy merchant Zhao Xing sat in Grand Tutor, surrounded by four maids of varying shapes and sizes, serving him fruit.
Ahead was a fighting ring, but instead of swords and spears, there were two delicate and slender beauties, shirtless and drenched in sweat, wrestling.
"Very well, you deserve a reward!"
"Guards, throw silver at the master!"
Zhao Xing shouted as he looked down to find some silver, completely unaware that a shadow suddenly loomed over him.
Looking up, he saw it was none other than the fierce-looking Fu Mengzhen.
"Oh no, what's this tigress doing here?" The wealthy businessman Zhao Xing was startled and immediately threw down the fruit plate and started running away.
"You Zhao Sijia, you're getting more and more outrageous!" Fu Mengzhen grabbed a feather duster and pounced on him.
While waving her arms and screaming, she said, "You really think you're the richest man in the world? Making women wrestle shirtless, how could you even think of that?"
"You heartless bastard"
"Ouch, madam, please don't hit me!"
"Help me!"
The wealthy merchant fled in panic, his obese body tumbling and crawling through the corridors.
Soon, people heard the cries and came to help.
"Junior brother~"
"Junior brother~"
Zhao Xing frowned. Junior Brother?
What junior brother?
Suddenly, Zhao Xing opened his eyes.
The confusion in his eyes faded, and Venerable Meishan arrived at the South Mountain Manor to call out to himself.
"Junior brother, why did you sleep for so long?" Wei Zizhan, somewhat puzzled.
"Senior Brother, how long have I been asleep?"
"About five years," Wei Zizhan said.
"Five years?" Zhao Xing exclaimed in surprise. "The Divine Domain Trial of the Twelve Mountains are about to begin, aren't they?"
"Yes, I didn't see you come up for a while, so I came down to check—you seem to be practicing some kind of spiritual technique?"
"Yes, thank you, Senior Brother." Zhao Xing nodded.
Are you alright?
"It's alright, Senior Brother, let's go up."
Zhao Xing gathered his thoughts and followed Wei Zizhan as they fled upwards.
During this practice of the Desire Dream Method, Zhao Xing felt a breakthrough in his mind, and his dreams became increasingly realistic.
What surprised Zhao Xing even more was...
On the panel, a progress bar had appeared on the grayed-out [Land of Fengshan].
[Land of Fengshan: 1%]
Zhao Xing was completely baffled. How could cultivating the Desire Dream Method have caused the Land of Fengshan to be unsealed by 1%?
"No, the Desire Dream Method is just a facade."
"Could it be that the lifting of the sage's seal at the Land of Fengshan essentially absorbs spiritual power?"
This was a major discovery, but Zhao Xing didn't have time to study it at the moment.
Because the trials of the Twelve Mountain God Realms are about to begin.
The lords of the Brow Mountain mountains are: Zhao Xing, the lord of Hong Shan Mountain; Wen Qichen Dream River Mountain, the lord of Qiu Chongyue Reed Mountain; Pu Guang, the lord of Kuang Chuan Taiqiu Mountain Master; Pu Guang, the Yuan Mountain Master; Flame Mountain Yu Chenyang, the lord of Yuanshan Lodging Mountain; Tang Chuhan, the lord of Yanshan Mountain; Mu Feng, the Dou Mountain Master; Lian Fu, the lord of the Seal River Mountain; Xiang Qianlan, the Luo Mountain Master; and Qu Jun, the lord of Cloud Mountain. At this time, all the lords of the Twelve Mountains have gathered in the Dao Ancient Layer of the central Ancient Hill of Antiquity.
There is an Earth God Altar here, dedicated to the Earth God "Feng Jun," who is the oldest God King of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity.
There are twelve pillars around the altar on the ground, and twelve Divine General on the pillars look down and protect the altar.
The content of the Divine Domain Trial is determined by the God King, and even the Divine General will not know the content in advance.
At this moment, Zhao Xing and the other eleven mountain lords were quietly waiting in front of the Earth Altar Plaza for the emperor to issue his Divine Edict.
The entire Earth Altar Plaza and the Earth God Altar are not open to outsiders.
However, it will be broadcast live via Star Mirror to the invited guests.
In the second phase, the flow of time will be different inside and outside the Earth God Altar, with a three-day time difference between the two sides.
If any unexpected situation arises during the Dharma assembly and discussion, there is still room for redemption, and one will not be embarrassed in front of so many people.
"Metaphor"
After waiting for a long time, Zhao Xing noticed a mountain breeze blowing from the Earth God Altar.
The mountain breeze carried a unique earthy fragrance, a scent that Zhao Xing was very familiar with.
Before long, the light on the Earth God Altar gradually brightened.
A singularity suddenly appeared, its interior black, but its edges shimmering with arcs of light.
The arc light grew brighter and brighter, and the vibrating light spread rapidly like a knitted fabric.
The pure white light was so dazzling, like the Solar Yang descending upon us.
Zhao Xing sensed that Zhenling was momentarily lost in thought.
When he regained his senses, he found himself standing on a smooth stone slab, surrounded by a chaotic mist.
The twelve Divine General have vanished, the Earth Altar Plaza has disappeared, the altar has vanished, and the eleven competitors have also disappeared, leaving only chaos.
A Golden Light appeared before my eyes, condensing into words:
[Master of Brow Mountain, please leave here and return to Earth Altar Plaza. The shorter the time, the higher the ranking.]
Zhao Xing looked at the Golden Light subtitles and immediately understood that this was the first test of the Divine Domain Trial.
Upon careful examination of the question, Zhao Xing discovered that this test was quite difficult.
Because none of the twelve mountain lords knew where they had been moved to.
If I don't even know how I got here, how can I go back?
But Zhao Xing has an advantage.
Because the Golden Light subtitles in mid-air provided very little information.
However, there are more coordinate prompts on the panel.
[You have entered the 'Spirit Domain Earth Palace', coordinates: Dao Gu 75 Ren, Li Water Hall 34, Celestial Yang Noon Hour).]
"So I've entered an Earth Palace — the Spirit Domain Earth Palace. What kind of coordinates are these?"
Looking at the coordinates displayed on the panel, Zhao Xing fell into thought.
He then compared the coordinates of Earth Altar Plaza: [75 ren of Daogu, Earth Altar Plaza, due south of the Earth God Altar.]
Similarly, there isn't much information available.
If there is only one obvious object as a reference point in a certain spacetime, then the coordinates will provide very little information and the dimensionality will be very large.
The Earth Altar Plaza at Ancient Hill of Antiquity undoubtedly possesses this unique coordinate system, and its dimensions are also very large.
Knowing only this much, it would be very difficult to find the original location using these coordinates after leaving.
"The 75th ren of Daogu is easy to understand, because there is also a 75th ren of Daogu in the coordinate reference of Earth Altar Plaza."
"From the perspective of the void layer, the Spirit Domain Earth Palace and the Earth Altar Plaza are on the same level."
"Li Water Hall 34 and Celestial Yang Noon Hour, one is a location within the Earth Palace, and the other represents time?"
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Xing's gaze fell on the four words "Spirit Domain Earth Palace," and then a certain guess formed in his mind.
"Assuming the Spirit Domain Earth Palace has a vast interior space and is modeled after the Xuanling Star Domain, then these coordinates represent a specific location within the Xuanling Star Domain."
"The 34th Li Star, at Celestial Yang Noon Hour— "
A map of the entire Xuanling Star Domain immediately appeared in Zhao Xing's mind.
"The location called Li Star in the Xuanling Star Domain has at least 80 million to 100 million stars, so it can't possibly be a certain Realm Star."
"So I should be in the Li River of Stars area within the territory of the Tianyou Ancient Kingdom."
Thanks to his experience in the World Transfer Tower, Zhao Xing had served as a river official in the Tianyou Ancient Kingdom for over a thousand years and was very familiar with the Li River of Stars.
He immediately unleashed two streams of magical power into the ground, and through the faint feedback from the Earth Vein, he determined his approximate location.
"Whoosh whoosh~"
Zhao Xing weaved through the fog, running about a kilometer in each of the different directions.
As he traveled, his coordinates changed constantly.
Ultimately, he determined that the blueprint for this Spirit Domain Earth Palace was the entire Xuanling Star Domain.
After familiarizing himself with the area for a while, Zhao Xing suddenly had an idea of how to get out.
" Within the Spirit Domain Earth Palace, there is naturally also the 'Ancient Hill of Antiquity.' So, to get out, I just need to go to the 'Ancient Hill of Antiquity' within the Spirit Domain Earth Palace."
Zhao Xing didn't fly; he traveled on foot.
Even if he knew the general method, he still needed to get feedback from the Earth Vein to correct his direction.
The twelve mountain lords within the Spirit Domain Earth Palace began to take action.
Spectators also witnessed the progress of the challenge.
Unlike the challengers, the guests not only knew the names and effects of the Earth Palace Art, but also could clearly see the positions of everyone.
"The Spirit Domain Earth Palace is truly mysterious and profound." Venerable Taihao looked at the structural diagram of the Earth Palace. The Star Mirror presented a multi-dimensional perspective, allowing him to clearly see the entire Earth Palace while also seeing the specific details.
"For the challengers inside, every meter they advance is like crossing a galaxy."
"Indeed," Venerable Chuchuan remarked. "With each step taken within the Spirit Domain Earth Palace, the Earth Vein fluctuations change drastically, and the amount of information to process is immense."
"If you run any faster, the Earth Vein fluctuations from tens of thousands of star sectors will instantly flood your mind. Even Demigod's true spirit would turn their mind into a complete mess."
"We can only proceed slowly, summarizing the patterns step by step, and groping our way forward."
"Why are they going around in circles? And why are they moving so slowly?" Emperor Bisui watched from the platform outside.
He could see that in the vast Earth Palace, some people were walking on the walls, some on the pillars, and some were wandering around in the window latticework.
Everyone walked very slowly, even going around in circles repeatedly, like lost ants.
"A divine-level Earth Palace Art that encompasses the entire Xuanling Star Domain, truly worthy of being called a divine-level spell," the Venerable Five Poisons exclaimed in admiration, before adding with concern, "It will likely be very difficult for Zhao Xing to emerge from here."
"Brother Tianning, what do you think?" Zuo Qiyu asked.
Liu Tianning pondered, "I cannot see the true face of the Earth Palace because I am in it."
"After the Twelve Mountains mountain lords entered the 'Spirit Domain Earth Palace,' they were in different locations."
"We, the onlookers outside, know what this test is about and how to get out, but the twelve mountain lords cannot see it directly."
"In such a vast Earth Palace, the Earthly Advantage Faction Shennong had to rely on the feedback from the Earth Vein to identify it, which was like ants trying to understand an elephant, making it difficult to discern its shape."
"Since each step is equivalent to crossing a galaxy, the fluctuations of the Earth Vein are subtle and complex, making them difficult to identify and utilize."
"If Zhao Xing wanted to use his divided soul to explore the path, he would find it difficult to explore all the paths in this god-level Earth Palace."
"A clumsy approach won't work."
Five Poisons was displeased upon hearing this, but he couldn't directly Liu Tianning, lest people accuse him of jealousy.
So he pulled Ji Si aside and said, "Little Ji, you calculate, what number will Zhao Xing be in?"
Ji Si smiled bitterly to herself. You want me to calculate a divine-level Earth Palace Art set up by a God King? What's the difference between that and sending me to my death?
But he immediately knew what Five Poisons wanted him to say, so he immediately said, "Of course, the Grand Minister of Agriculture will be the first to come out."
Five Poisons Du was very pleased. He patted Ji Si on the shoulder with great satisfaction. "Great minds think alike, little Ji. It seems that your Daoist skills have improved a lot."
Liu Tianning felt helpless and kept quiet, while Zuo Qiyu was too lazy to communicate with the Five Poisons.
Serious discussion with Ji Si and Five Poisons, two Zhao fans, would be a waste of breath.
On the Earth God Altar, twelve Divine General from the Ancient Hill of Antiquity were also observing the mountain lords of each mountain as they attempted to pass the test.
"The three who should pass the test the fastest are: Taiqiu Mountain Master, Pu Guang; Yuan Mountain Master, Xin He; Dream River Mountain Lord, Kuang Chuan," Divine General Lü Song casually commented.
"The mountain lords of Hong Shan and Reed Mountain should be the last two to emerge," Gong Yi concluded, identifying the two weakest.
"It's hard to judge who's the strongest, but the weakest is obvious," Yu Ling said calmly. "The leaders of Reed Mountain and Hong Shan are getting weaker and weaker."
"We can't blame them," General Lan Chuan a gentle voice. "After the 'Sky Devouring Rat' incident, both mountains were severely punished. The powerful and talented individuals were all seriously injured in that incident and haven't recovered yet."
The Ancient Hill of Antiquity has a history of serious "Ancient Vein Theft".
Demon Race from the past infiltrated the Ancient Hill of Antiquity and entered the Primal Ancient Realm through these two mountains, devouring a section of the Primal Ancient Vein. Since then, Hong Shan and Reed Mountain have been doing the dirtiest and most tiring work in the Ancient Hill of Antiquity, but receiving the fewest resources.
In this generation, Qiu Chongyue, the lord of Hong Shan, and Wen Qichen, the lord of Reed Mountain, have both become Demigod in just over five thousand years.
The two of them benefited from the pioneering work of the Annihilating Star Ancient Road, or rather, from Zhao Xing's influence.
Their strength is significantly weaker than that of the other ten mountain lords.
But these two are already the strongest in Hong Shan and Reed Mountain.
"Zhao Xing has cultivated for even less time, so why isn't he weaker than them?" Divine General Lu Song sneered, "Having done something wrong, the Mountain's Spiritual Elegance has greatly diminished."
"You can't blame anyone else."
General Lan Chuan did not refute, but many Divine General still have opinions about the historical events in Hong Shan and Reed Mountain.
Leaving aside these two mountains, even Brow Mountain, which he was in charge of, had some mistakes made by its previous leader Wei Zizhan, during his tenure.
For example, a small part of the artifact [Yuan Ji Mountain] was corrupted by the Master of Cold Food Festival.
If Wei Zizhan hadn't brought the divine weapon with him when he left the mountain, perhaps none of this would have happened.
"The title of this year's leader should belong to Dream River Mountain," Divine General Lu Song, pointing to the Spirit Domain Earth Palace. "Kuang Chuan is the strongest, already ahead of Taiqiu Mountain Master Pu Guang and Yuan Mountain Master Xin He."
Yu Ling Divine General nodded as well. "Zhao Xing's talent is indeed remarkable. He has cultivated for over ten thousand years and has managed to write three Dao Book on the Myriad Dao Tree."
Especially the Three Era Realm Theory —he should be the next leader of the mountain.
The three Divine General almost never considered Zhao Xing a strong contender for the position of leader.
Judging solely from strength, Zhao Xing's cultivation as a thirteenth-level Demigod is not only inferior to Kuang Chuan, who is ranked first, but also two levels behind Pu Guang, the Taiqiu Mountain Master, and Xin He, the Yuan Mountain Master.
Of course, in terms of potential, Zhao Xing is undoubtedly number one. Given more time, he will be the next leader of the mountain.
"That's not necessarily true." General Lan Chuan he watched Zhao Xing running around wildly in the Spirit Domain Earth Palace.
Only he knew that Zhao Xing, who could formulate the Boundary Theory of the Four Eras and enter the Land of Fengshan, was far more powerful than he appeared.
As time went on, the behavior of the twelve people in the Spirit Domain Earth Palace gradually began to diverge.
However, after Zhao Xing finished his initial summary and survey, the situation changed.
"Hmm?" Divine General Lu Song's gaze suddenly fell on the Li Star Hall in the Spirit Domain Earth Palace.
"He was actually the fourth person to leave the Li Star Hall?"
Spirit Domain Earth Palace.
"Snap!"
Zhao Xing stepped into the shallow water, feeling as if his feet were about to sink in.
"Boom!"
Five Extreme Spirit Pearl rose up, dragging it upwards, resisting the enormous pulling force.
"The location has changed."
Zhao Xing stared at the muddy, shallow beach below.
"This corresponds to the 'Swamp Star River' located within the territory of the Mogu Kingdom."
If you look closely, you'll find that the shallow river resembles a galaxy in the universe.
However, it was not brilliant; rather, it was a dull, murky yellow, like a swamp.
The Swamp Star River of the Momei Kingdom is somewhat similar to the Li River of Stars, and it is also a river system territory frequently plagued by natural disasters and calamities.
"It's really difficult to break into the Spirit Domain Earth Palace. After the map scale is reduced, there's a small pit every three steps and a big pit every five steps."
The Spirit Domain Earth Palace corresponds to the entire Xuanling Star Domain, but the normal areas are condensed, while the unique and dangerous areas are magnified.
It feels like a road full of speed bumps; if you walk too fast, you'll feel dizzy from the bumps. If you walk too slowly, you're likely to fall into a pothole.
"Earth Passage, Earth Treasury, Earth Palace, Earth Split, Mystic Earth, Mountain Art, Earth Vein Identification—it's almost a comprehensive test." Zhao Xing circulated his magical power, adjusting the pace of the challenge.
IIII
For the first half month after entering the Spirit Domain Earth Palace, the relative strengths and weaknesses of the twelve mountain lords were not yet clear.
Everyone was trapped in one of the branch halls of the Spirit Domain Earth Palace.
But the differences became apparent after two weeks.
Four mountain lords were the first to leave the first trapped Earth Palace branch.
Four months later, eight people escaped from the first trapped branch hall.
Six months later, only eight people had escaped from the first trapped branch hall.
However, there are also differences among these top eight players.
"Only Zhao Xing, the lord of Brow Mountain, Kuang Chuan Dream River Mountain, Xin He, the Yuan Mountain Master, and Pu Guang, the Taiqiu Mountain Master, are on the right track."
"The other four all went astray."
Venerable Taihao, Venerable Pingyou, and Venerable Chuchuan stared at the Earth Palace.
Their cultivation levels weren't much lower than these mountain lords; the difference was clearly visible from the outside.
"This is a comprehensive test of the Earthly Advantage Method; any slight deficiency in any aspect will lead to deviation."
"In the journey of a single star system, a slight difference is not obvious, but when magnified to the entire star field, a slight difference here and a slight difference there—the overall difference becomes very obvious," Venerable Chuchuan remarked.
"As expected of the Divine Domain Trial, the progress of the Great Dao is immediately apparent."
"Zhao Shennong is both fast and steady, I really didn't expect that," Venerable Pingyou said admiringly. "He has only been cultivating for a little over ten thousand years."
A year later, the differences between the twelve mountain lords became clear to everyone.
"Reed Mountain and Hong Shan unsurprisingly came in last place."
"But Zhao Shennong from Brow Mountain is actually in the first tier?"
"Isn't he only at the thirteenth-level Demigod cultivation level?" On the viewing platform of the Origin Heavenly Palace, Emperor Tianwu asked.
"What do you mean by 'talent'?" Emperor Yushu of the Origin Heavenly Palace glanced at him. "Brother Tianwu, you're only at the Emperor Lord Level. How dare you speak like that?"
"Well, you know that's not what I meant," Emperor Tianwu somewhat awkwardly.
"In terms of cultivation, Zhao Xing is indeed two or three times less experienced than those three in terms of True Spirit Tribulation."
"If we only consider the number of times one has survived the True Spirit Tribulation, then what's the point of the selection?" Emperor Yushu said disdainfully. "Do you think this is a selection process for the Qi Sect? Whoever has the highest Golden Body level wins?"
A burst of laughter erupted from the surrounding area.
Emperor Tianwu was furious. "Can't you speak properly? I just want to ask you why you're dragging our Qi Sect into this—"
"Ignorance—" Emperor Yushu waved his hand, and the leaves closed, effectively blocking out the voice of Emperor Tianwu.
"Damn it..." Emperor Tianwu cursed.
One year and nine months after entering the Spirit Domain Earth Palace.
At this point, Zhao Xing and Kuang Chuan only had one branch hall area left, at which point they could leave the Spirit Domain Earth Palace and return to the Earth Altar Plaza.
As for the Yuan Mountain Master and the Lord of Taiqiu Mountain, they are still two Earth Palace palaces away.
Upon seeing this result, the twelve Divine General observing from the Earth God Altar fell silent.
Zhao Xing is a 13th-level Demigod, Kuang Chuan is a 16th-level Demigod.
The two were almost at the same pace, with Zhao Xing even slightly ahead!
"Lan Chuan, Zhao Xing has been studying with you for three thousand years, and his magical abilities have improved so much?" Divine General Yu Ling was somewhat surprised.
Many of the spells used by the Earthly Advantage Faction require time to accumulate.
For example, refining mountains, or surveying the Earth Vein a region, these are not things that can be accumulated in a short period of time.
"If I remember correctly, Zhao Xing only came in a clone, right?"
"Zhao Xing's talent, comprehension, luck, and opportunities are all superior to Kuang Chuan's."
Many of the Divine General began to discuss the two of them.
The majority of the Divine General initially favored Kuang Chuan as the leader of this year's mountain have now begun to change their minds.
Two years and six months later, the Dao Ancient Layer reached its seventy-fifth ren.
Not far from Earth Altar Plaza, in the void layer, a point of light is flashing.
"Metaphor"
The points of light flickered and coalesced into a human figure, which then stepped out of the circle of light.
All twelve Divine General looked over.
"Brush"
Zhao Xing appeared before the gods.
Upon seeing the floating Earth Altar Plaza in the distance, Zhao Xing suddenly realized that the Spirit Domain Earth Palace was right next to Earth Altar Plaza.
And that vast Spirit Domain Earth Palace was just a single point?
"The methods of the God King are truly unfathomable."
With these thoughts in mind, Zhao Xing quickly landed on the Earth Altar Plaza and stood still.
Another half month passed, and with a flicker of light, Venerable Kuang Chuan became the second to fly out of the Spirit Domain Earth Palace.
When he saw that there was already a person standing in the Earth Altar Plaza, Venerable Kuang Chuan was clearly stunned.
However, it quickly flew over and landed.
The waiting period then exceeded six months. Only then did the Yuan Mountain Master and Taiqiu Mountain emerge.
"I'm the third one to come out?"
"Losing to Kuang Chuan is one thing, but to be even worse than Zhao Xing, who has only cultivated for over ten thousand years, is another." The Yuan Mountain Master felt a pang of regret and frustration.
"The Extreme Land really doesn't favor me. If Kuang Chuan hadn't returned, and if Zhao Xing had risen to power later, I would have been the leader of the mountain."
"Am I the fourth one?" After landing, the Lord of Taiqiu Mountain stared blankly at the tall figure in front of him. "Sigh, I'm really getting old."
After another three years, four more people emerged.
As for the remaining four people, they were simply moved out.
This indicates that the Divine King Jun has concluded that the remaining four individuals will never be able to escape the Spirit Domain Earth Palace on their own.
Although he was the first to come out, Zhao Xing did not relax at all.
He knew that there would be another "Debate Dao Before the Gods" to come.
This is the crucial step.
The summit of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity requires not only the strength to wield divine artifacts and numerous powers, but also the ability to Dharma Theory for Governance; the latter is actually more important.
Because he decided the future direction of Ancient Hill of Antiquity for some time to come.
"The Debate Dao Before the Gods will proceed according to rank, starting with the last person in charge." As the god of Brow Mountain, General Lan Chuan was in charge of explaining the proceedings.
"Lord of Mount Reed Mountain, please ascend the Earth God Altar."
Wen Qichen, the mountain lord of Reed Mountain who was called out, respectfully cupped his hands and walked step by step into the pure white barrier of the Earth God Altar.
To avoid affecting their Dao heart, the strongest individuals who ranked high in the Divine Domain Trial were the last to preach.
Zhao Xing watched as Venerable Lushan walked onto the preaching platform, and prepared to listen attentively.
After Venerable Lushan sat down, he waved his sleeve, and a Dao Book appeared above his head.
The Proterozoic Era Earth Sea Realm Theory
"Heavy Springs Boiling, Ao Ji Lu Chen, Water Essence Nurtures Stone Marrow, Layered Formation Becomes Realm, the Earth Sea Rotation, Forging Thousand Earth Wonders— "
As he spoke, Venerable Lushan unfolded the Dharma Realm and revealed the Dharma form.
Zhao Xing observed carefully and discovered that Venerable Lushan was saying belonged to the Boundary Theory.
However, the scope of the Boundary Theory varies, and the Venerable Lushan preached on the topic of a Thousand Earth Wonders he observed.
His Dao Book contain very few theories because they are all things that have already been proven, such as the existence of the Earthly Middle Realm Sea.
Venerable Lushan mainly focused on Theory of Law, that is, the magic created based on the Earth Sea.
Following what Venerable Lushan had said, Zhao Xing silently deduced in his mind and discovered that the other party had displayed about thirty-six kinds of magic, each corresponding to different Earthly Advantage Institute and environment.
Moreover, they should all have reached the level of Demigod- level magic.
"Senior Reed Mountain emphasizes practical application, and his Boundary Theory is already quite good," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
However, given its scale, it's still a bit lacking for competing for the top spot on the mountain.
After the Venerable Lushan finished his demonstration, he bowed to the Earth God Altar and respectfully placed his book on the altar, whereupon the divine fire blazed up two feet high.
This means that Venerable Lushan has about a 20% chance of becoming a god in the future, thanks to this Theory of Law.
Although it didn't seem high, a thunderous wave of congratulations still rang out from the outside world.
Even a 20% chance is very high!
Moreover, this gave all the Earthly Advantage Faction Shennong more than thirty options.
This adds another layer of brilliance to the Earthly Advantage Faction magic system.
Next to go up was Venerable Hong Shan.
His work is also Boundary Theory.
However, it discusses mountains, specifically Layered World Mountain, which Zhao Xing is quite familiar with.
Venerable Hong Shan Qiu Chongyue of Hongshan was very famous for pioneering the Desolate Territory and opening up the Illuminating Ancient Path Road. He was much more famous than Venerable Lushan.
Zhao Xing proposed a solution to the Layered World Mountain problem, but it was actually implemented by the Emperor Hongshan.
Venerable Hong Shan also valued practical application. He didn't have any new theories, but he wrote as many as seventy-two kinds of Theory of Law.
It encompasses multiple categories, including Mountain Art Body Refinement, Mountain Art Artifact Refining, Earth Treasury, and Earth Passage.
When Venerable Hong Shan presented the Dao Book to the altar, a three-foot-long divine fire was lit on them.
"Thirty percent? Venerable Hong Shan is indeed stronger than Venerable Lushan." Zhao Xing nodded secretly.
As time passed, Yu Chenyang, the master of Lodging Mountain, Tang Chuhan, the master of Flame Mountain, Mu Feng, the Dou Mountain Master, Lian Fu, the Yinchuan Mountain Master, Xiang Qianlan, the master of Luo Mountain Master, and Qu Jun, the master of Cloud Mountain, all made their appearances in turn.
Of these six people, four were Boundary Theory, but they differed in their time periods, targets, and scope.
There are two Dao Book written by two people, which belong to the "Earth Treasury Theory" and focus on how to manage the land and nourish the mountains.
The two proposed several new methods for Governing the Wilderness.
After the Dao Book were presented, the divine fire on the altar rose to a height of five feet and three feet respectively.
Among them, the Dao Book written by Tang Chuhan, the master of Flame Mountain, was presented. Although it was only three feet tall, an additional strange phenomenon appeared on the Dao Book.
Zhao Xing saw a scene of a volcanic eruption.
"The Dao Book of Tang Chuhan, the master of Flame Mountain, are accompanied by extraordinary Heaven and Earth Anomaly?" Zhao Xing, somewhat surprised. "This means there's a 30% chance Heaven and Earth Attainment!"
If no extraordinary phenomena occur, it means that there is hope of becoming Free God.
If unusual phenomena occur, it indicates that there is hope of becoming Tribulationless True God!
Among these eight people, the Dao Book of Tang Chuhan, the master of Flame Mountain, is the most valuable.
"I'll have to study the 'Myriad Volcano Scripture' carefully later," Zhao Xing secretly memorized.
Although there is only a 30% chance of success, it still has high research value.
After the first eight preachers finished, only the following remained: Pu Guang, the Taiqiu Mountain Master; Shin Ha, the Yuan Mountain Master; Kuang Chuan, the master of Dream River Mountain; and Jo Zhao Xing, the master of Brow Mountain.
After Pu Guang, the Taiqiu Mountain Master, ascended the altar, the divine fire rose eight feet high, but no Heaven and Earth Anomaly occurred.
Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised, not expecting that the Taiqiu Mountain Master had an 80% chance of becoming a god.
"Ancient Hill of Antiquity is indeed full of talented people."
"If the Taiqiu Mountain Master continues his cultivation as it is now, he has an 80% chance of becoming Divine Realm in the Third Era of the Desolate Territory."
Zhao Xing looked expectantly at Xin He, the third to last Yuan Mountain Master, who was about to appear.
After Venerable Xin He took his seat, he also took out a Dao Book.
Boat Mountain Method
Zhao Xing initially thought it was some kind of Spiritual Mountain Law, but he realized he was wrong.
"By combining the Boat Mountain Method Spiritual Mountain Law, they forged the Ten Earth Divine Boat, a natal magical artifact, capable of traversing the void, huh?"
Among the artifacts of the Earthly Advantage Faction" school, there is a classic style called the Divine Boat School".
In other words, the mountain is used as a Realm Boat for refinement, forming its own natural cycle.
The Divine Ark Method combined with the Spiritual Mountain Law is the "Boat Mountain Method" of Venerable Xin He.
But as Zhao Xing listened, he began to feel that something was amiss.
After demonstrating his Theory of Law, Venerable Xin He suddenly First-Turn and took out a Dao Book: "The Extreme Continent Universe Theory".
Zhao Xing's brow twitched, and his heart began to pound.
"The Yin Yang Twin Stars revolve around the universe."
"Realm Star, Star Continent, Yin-Yang Dual Systems, Spirit Domain, Desolate Territory —all have been Shen Luo."
"We are already living in the Extreme Land."
"The Extreme Star is the Earth's core; now that the Extreme Star has extinguished, the Boat Mountain Method should be used to save the world—"
Venerable Xin He's voice echoed throughout the Earth Altar Plaza, and the other venerables looked at Xinhe in disbelief.
Above the altar, on the twelve pillars, several Divine General shone with divine light.
"Shut up!"
"Xinhe, you've Going Berserk!"
"Ignorance and arrogance!"
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xing saw Venerable Xin He being forcibly interrupted from his sermon, and the altar was filled with multiple lights and shadows, as if time had slowed down.
Zhao Xing knew that this was Divine Realm had prevented Xin He's sermon from being spread.
The guests outside could no longer hear the rest of the Xinhe River.
"Whoosh~"
Venerable Xin He was immediately taken away.
"He's really insane," Zhao Xing thought to himself, shaking his head. "This kind of talk is practically the talk of Evil God."
In layman's terms, Venerable Xin He's statement was the "Secret Chamber Cosmology".
It believes that the Extreme Land is the universe, and the universe is the Extreme Land.
Extreme Star is the Earth's core, Yin Yang Twin Stars are also variations of the Earth's core.
The boundary star continent was born in the middle layer between the polar continent and the polar star.
Imagine that everyone lives in a sphere, and the boundary of that universe is the Extreme Land Soil.
Because the polar ley lines are extremely heavy, the distances between all boundary stars and star continents are getting greater and greater.
Therefore, he regarded the disordered movement and dispersal of the star field as a kind of "Shen Luo into the Extreme Land phenomenon".
"The Extreme Continent Universe Theory is just another version of the Chen Luo Wilderness Theory, but it also incorporates the Divine Boat Theory, making it a clear case of the Escape Faction." Zhao Xing shook his head inwardly.
"We will dedicate all our efforts to excavating the Spirit Mountain Substance and building an unprecedented Cosmic Ark."
"This is tantamount to the Wilderness Era Faction abandoning the Xuanling Star Domain as its base and fleeing to the edge of the universe."
"Venerable Xin He has truly gone mad," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "But perhaps someone within the Evil God Faction thinks the same way."
"Phew~"
The divine fire on the altar burned, and Venerable Xin He's two Dao Book were completely burned to ashes.
"It seems that this development path is absolutely unacceptable at Ancient Hill of Antiquity," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
After a brief period of chaos, it was Venerable Kuang Chuan's turn to take the stage.
