Yu Heng created Seven Divine King Secret Arts, three of which can be used to control the Myriad Dao Mother Tree.

They are respectively "The Source Heart Tree", "The Withered Wood God", and "The Myriad Phenomena Universe".

The Source Heart Tree is a secret art of the mind and will, the Withered Wood God is a secret art of the soul, and the Myriad Phenomena Universe is a secret art of the legion!

Zhao Xing first studied the "Source Heart Tree". He had learned the Heart Field Art before. The mental secrets created by Yu Heng were also based on the Heart Field Art, but were even more profound.

"Plant a field in your heart, and your spirit will be imprinted with the essence of creation."

"Leaves sweep away a thousand calamities of fire, branches connect to suppress the nine heavens."

As Zhao Xing sat atop the God King Tower, a towering tree appeared in his mind. Its roots were planted in the ten earths, and its canopy covered the nine heavens. Each leaf could easily sweep away a Divine Tribulation, as if it had transcended the rules of the universe.

"The mystical arts of the True Self Faction are all so wild and unrestrained," Zhao Xing couldn't help but remark.

In the Divine King Yu Heng, there are no Free God cultivate their origins, nor Tribulationless True God who Heaven and Earth Attainment.

The inner world of the Self-Oriented Si Nong is the manifestation of the Dao; heaven and earth, the origin, and everything else are contained within his world.

To achieve this level of Internal World, one must first accept it psychologically.

Let the power of the mind grow like the Internal World.

The highest realm of the Source Heart Tree is the Source Heart Realm.

Divine King Yu Heng used a Dao Tree from his original time as a spiritual anchor, allowing it to grow and expand along with the Internal World.

Ultimately, one can achieve complete unity between the mind and the Internal World.

Of course, there is a difference between ideal and reality in self-created spells. The Source Heart Realm was just Divine King Yu Heng's idea and pursuit. He did not reach the highest realm he envisioned. Before his death, he only created the "Source Heart Tree" secret technique.

"Divine King Yu Heng believes that being attacked by the mind is not entirely a bad thing. The secret art of protecting the mind should not be like a door that shuts everything out. Instead, it should be like a tree that Flourishing Growth through wind and rain."

"The roots of the Tree of the Mind are anchored to the Dao Tree of the Internal World during the primordial period. It is dynamic and ever-changing. If it encounters external attacks, such as Curse Kill Art or Mind Illusion Art, it can transform mental power into nourishment."

"The first thing I need to do to learn this secret technique is to plant a Dao Tree in my Internal World. This Dao Tree is anchored to the original world and connected to my soul."

Zhao Xing is Explosive Soldier Stream who has learned the "Primal Chaos World" cultivation technique, which aligns with the path of Divine King Yu Heng. His Internal World contains the Primordial Chapter, the Origin, and...

The four states of mind—myriad phenomena, Annihilation Chapter —can manifest scenes that are incredibly close to the four stages of the universe.

He opened his Internal World, creating a region far from the Zhou Yuan and the Tree Son. Using the Primal Chaos World Technique, he locked onto this area, pinpointing its origin.

Then, by combining their minds with the divine land, they formed a small Star Continent, using their own past memories as seeds.

Trees with such special characteristics are collectively called Dao trees. They do not follow the rules of the Life Great Dao. Almost instantly, the seeds take root and sprout from the soil, growing to a height of two square feet in the blink of an eye.

It also has more than 20,000 growth rings, corresponding to Zhao Xing's age.

"The Source Heart Tree is quite easy to cultivate," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

It does not require tangible material nourishment, but rather spiritual power. What is spiritual power? Every fluctuation of emotions, whether joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness, can be considered spiritual power.

Therefore, Divine King Yu Heng liked to travel to various small worlds and live like mortals.

Of course, when it comes to fighting, all emotions are stored in the Tree of the Mind, and at that moment, one becomes an absolutely rational being.

"The Source Heart Tree is easy to learn but difficult to master, which is similar to what I experienced when I practiced dual cultivation with Fu Mengzhen using the Desire Dream Method," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"Of course, the God King's Secret Technique is still stronger. Even if I don't experience anything, just planting this Dao Tree in my Internal World will allow it to grow slowly."

As the Internal World slowly multiplied, many Original Seed evolved, and primitive races emerged. Their love, hate, joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness could also provide nourishment for the Source Heart Tree.

Imagine your Internal World is like that of the Divine King Yu Heng, with various Mother Tree castles that form plant camps, constantly experiencing Overlord Battle, and in the west, the primitive tribes of Transformation Marsh fighting for supremacy. These things themselves would become a kind of spiritual nourishment.

"The Source Heart Tree is easy to master, but the Withered Wood God is difficult." Zhao Xing then turned to comprehend the second secret technique.

Mind and will techniques are easy to learn. These spells are mostly idealistic, and one can reach a very high level of mental cultivation overnight, or even a weak Demigod can achieve a will comparable to that of a god.

However, the soul is a substantial force, Eighteen Tribulation True Spirit is thousands or even tens of thousands of times stronger than Twelve Tribulation True Spirit; the difference is there for all to see.

If the Divine General use Mind Illusion Art to attack, Demigod might escape. But if it's a soul attack that sweeps through, then there's absolutely no chance of survival.

"The Soul Secret Technique of the Withered Wood God... I wonder if I can learn it." Zhao Xing is still Demigod, even with the Zu Emperor Dynasty's...

It's only at the Late Divine Soldier.

He had little confidence in this Soul Secret Technique. After all, he had only learned the first level of the "Seven Luminaries Immeasurable Heaven" taught to him by the Immeasurable True God over three thousand years, and had made no further progress since. It was not that he lacked comprehension, but rather that his realm was limited.

"Mainstream cultivation systems compare the soul to a spark, Divine King Yu Heng compares the soul to a plant, which withers and flourishes with the seasons according to the cosmic Heavenly Timing."

"This also incorporates the ideas of the Time Faction."

Zhao Xing seemed to be deep in thought. He didn't know if his understanding was accurate, but Yu Heng was dead and couldn't teach him personally. He could only assume that the great Dao leads to the same destination, and that all high-level Shennong Art have commonalities.

"Let's try refining it this way first."

Ten years after the end of the Zhou Yuan Crisis, The Withered Wood God still had nothing to show for it and made no progress.

If the Withered Wood God is not mastered, the Legion Secret Technique "Myriad Phenomena Universe" is out of the question. Without the support of a powerful soul, it is impossible to unleash Legion skills and command numerous Plant Soldiers.

The number of troops Zhao Xing can take depends on two factors: first, the Source Heart Tree, which can prevent the Plant Soldier from being devoured by their will; second, the Withered Wood God, whose high soul level allows for precise control; and third, the "Myriad Phenomena Universe," which provides specific buffs to the troops through the Agricultural Official.

This allows for the combination of talents between different troop types to achieve a stronger effect; otherwise, it would result in a situation where one side is fighting the other.

The Myriad Dao Mother Tree Paths is an anomaly formed by the fusion of many plants; it can only be controlled through Legion Techniques.

"Zhao Xing, I'm almost fully recovered." Qing Yuzi called out to Zhao Xing on the God King Tower, "The physical injuries and hidden dangers are gone."

Illuminated by the life rays of the Three-Star Treasure Bracelet, Qing Yuzi's parasitized divine body has been completely repaired and is even stronger than before, reaching the peak of the Divine General Peak Stage from the Late Divine General Stage.

"Has your inner turmoil been eliminated?" Zhao Xing asked, looking down.

"It should be ready by now," Qing Yuzi said hesitantly.

"Don't just say 'should,' give it a try." Zhao Xing pointed, Origin Vine Immortal emerged from his fingertip.

"What? Don't come any closer!" Qing Yuzi's expression changed drastically, and she instinctively backed away.

But after he retreated, he realized that Zhao Xing's Origin Vine Immortal had not flown over at all; it had only extended to a little over ten feet.

"Damn Marsh Divine General!" Qing Yuzi cursed.

"Get up from where you fall," Zhao Xing offered a solution. "Why don't you go to Transformation Marsh again?"

There were also two Divine General there who were skilled in Parasitic Method, and they looked almost identical to the Marsh Divine General.

Upon hearing the words "Transformation Marsh, "Qing Yuzi's brows twitched, and despite his repeated struggles, he couldn't overcome his anxiety.

"Let me think about it some more."

One hundred and thirtieth year after the Zhou Yuan Crisis, the Withered Wood God still hadn't mastered the basics.

At this moment, Zhao Xing finally realized that the secret technique of the Withered Wood God was not something that could be mastered in the Late Divine Soldier.

It's at least not the late -Late Divine Soldier in the Zu Emperor Dynasty state.

After all, under the Zu Emperor Dynasty, his divine body, divine sense, and divine power were all rather mediocre.

"Then there's only the second method left." Zhao Xing opened his eyes, "Using Symbiosis to amplify the soul."

This Parasitic Seeds can greatly enhance the power of the soul, but its drawback is that it places an extremely heavy burden on the mind.

However, after cultivating the Source Heart Tree, Zhao Xing's tolerance also increased significantly. Previously, he had to rely on General Hua Li forcibly awaken him and break free every two and a half years with the Great Dao Golden Circlet.

Even if we Symbiosis for a hundred or eighty years now, it has nothing to do with it.

"If it lasts too long or involves too many people, I still can't handle it. For example, there are God- King Grade War God, who are even stronger and more numerous. I simply can't withstand them."

Zhao Xing retrieved a large quantity of items from a storage box; these were standard equipment for Divine General.

"~" There was a lot of mucus in the box. The mucus extracted and exposed to the air quickly withered, but when it got close to Zhao Xing and entered his divine body, it quickly became active.

Zhao Xing suddenly felt like he had become a spirited young man.

"It is indeed very strong, and it also has very strong side effects, but not many side effects—? Hmm, what am I saying?"

Zhao Xing immediately activated the Source Heart Tree and instantly felt much better.

Absorbing too much would lower his intelligence, so he dared not extract any more and put the box away.

"Roar~~~"

Two hundred and fifty-six years after the end of the Zhou Yuan Incident, Zhao Xing, whose body seemed to be covered with a layer of black and gold skin, stood on the God King Tower and roared to the sky.

Qing Yuzi, who was in the Transformation Marsh, was being chased by Divine General with a mushroom head, a human body, and fingers that were water-drawing vines.

When the roar came, the hybrid stopped moving, and suddenly knelt down in the direction of the God King Tower, trembling all over.

"Sieve, sieve~"

His skin kept peeling off, and his once plump skin and bark suddenly became wrinkled.

It's as if a part of their vitality has been stripped away.

"Um?"

Qing Yuzi pulled out the "wooden tubes" from her body and stopped, somewhat puzzled.

"He succeeded?"

A moment later, he finally confirmed that Zhao Xing had mastered the God King's Secret Technique.

However, there was a hint of melancholy on his face.

"Zhao Xing has already mastered the God King's Secret Technique; he'll surpass us sooner or later."

"And me? I'm still dealing with my own psychological trauma?"

"A true man born between heaven and earth, how can he remain subservient to others for long?" A ruthless glint appeared on Qing Yuzi's face. He grabbed the kneeling Divine General, "Divine General, I'm not running away anymore, come and stab me!"

The Divine General: "???"

Two more figures appeared in front of the God King Tower.

After Zhao Xing mastered the Withered Wood God technique, the original gatekeeper, Number Thirteen, and the War God in front of the city gate left their original areas and came to pay homage to the God King Tower.

"Number Thirteen pays respects to the Divine Lord."

"Zi greets the Divine Lord."

"We two are willing to serve the divine deity."

Number Thirteen and Zi both looked at Zhao Xing at the top of the tower with longing eyes.

They knew that Divine King Yu Heng had passed away, and they had waited too long in this Internal World.

Once Zhao Xing masters the core secret technique, he will become the new master of this world, and only Zhao Xing can lead them away to experience the outside world.

"Number Thirteen, you are a puppet life form, but were you created by Divine King Yu Heng?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Reporting to the Divine Lord, I was not created by Divine King Yu Heng, but by another God King Grade Mech Martial Practitioner. However, I do not remember the name of the God King who created me," Number Thirteen said. "I only remember that there were eighteen of them created along with me. My master bought the thirteenth one, which is me, at a small auction."

"What is your true ability?"

"I am a growth type. After thirty-five eras, I can now rival the Divine General Peak Stage in the Sword Sect." Number Thirteen described his strengths and weaknesses. "I am good at infiltration, assassination, escape, and the Heart Sword techniques. My weakness is that my defense is not as strong as that of the Qi Sect."

"Okay, come with me." Zhao Xing nodded.

"Your Majesty, there's me too," Zi quickly said. "Your Majesty must already know me quite well."

"Okay, you come too." Zhao Xing laughed. Zi is a collection of consciousnesses, like the spirit of the Human Emperor Banner, while the War God mainly collects Qi Sect skills, and the combat template is also a melee style.

Divine King Yu Heng possesses over three hundred Divine General Level War God and one God- King Grade War God. Zi can control multiple War God, unleashing up to 1200 times the power of Divine General, equivalent to having a Qi Sect Divine General protecting him. Having him along will also benefit his comprehension of War God.

After mastering the Withered Wood God, Zhao Xing spent over a hundred years mastering the "Myriad Phenomena Universe".

At this point, he was qualified to subdue the Mother Tree of the Dao.

So they went directly to the desert region to the south.

"Boom!"

A huge plant emerged from the sand in the desert, and it didn't look like a plant at all.

The Myriad Dao Mother Tree is 300 million kilometers tall. There are soil on its branches and knots. It grows horizontally and vertically. The plant species on it can be said to encompass all the species that Zhao Xing has ever seen. It is almost a spherical ecological forest.

As Zhao Xing approached, he immediately felt countless voices appear in his mind, constantly clamoring.

"Take me out of here!"

"It's fresh blood!"

"I'm so hungry!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

"He is not a god."

"Who is he?"

"Mother--"

"...

It was too noisy. Zhao Xing felt dizzy for a moment. If he hadn't learned the "Source Heart Tree" and "Withered Wood God", coming here would have been pure suicide.

"I can't even keep up with the panel; I have no idea how many plants have been fused together," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

The grafting was completely invisible, appearing as if it were a single entity, but in reality, its internal structure was intricate and complex, the most complex Life Dao Diagram Zhao Xing had ever seen.

"After cultivating the Withered Wood God, my soul strength has been able to unleash the power of Mid Divine General, but I still can't see the life structure of the Myriad Dao Mother Tree clearly, and can only barely contain the mental fluctuations generated by these life forms."

"I wonder if my Internal World can accommodate this Mother Tree. It must be comparable to a god- King Grade like Human L, right?"

It took Zhao Xing more than eighty years to move the Myriad Dao Mother Tree into his Internal World.

After completing this process, his soul experienced a feeling of fullness and hunger, which emanated from the World Core.

At this moment, the Tree Son also conveyed a thought: I can't eat anymore.

Zhao Xing was both amused and exasperated. "This isn't for you to eat. You can't just eat anything. I didn't even understand that myself."

Not counting the Tree Son, the Internal World contains the Abyss and the Myriad Dao Mother Tree, which has already exceeded the limit that a Demigod porcelain farmer can contain.

If the area opened up by the World-Splitting Divine Stone is large enough, and the foundation accumulated in the Source Origin Realm is strong enough, it is not certain that it can be taken away now.

"Even so, my Internal World can only support me to take a few more plant camps out at most."

Zhao Xing patrolled the Internal World of Divine King Yu Heng.

He arrived at the battlefield of the overlords and finally selected four plant camps, which he could no longer put down.

Because his World Projection could not return when he collected the first plant camp, he had to abandon the fifth one.

"Among the four plant-based military camps, there is one Divine General Level being, and at least a thousand Divine Soldier."

"Giant Statue Divine Tree L, Tian Ji General!"

"Moyi Goddess, Black Mushroom General!"

"Void Bamboo Divine L; Dou Shen General!"

"L, the Nether River Flower God, Ming Yan General!"

"These four military camps are the limit of my capacity. Unless I break through to the god level and further expand my Internal World."

After selecting four overlord-level military camps, Zhao Xing left the overlord battlefield and flew to Transformation Marsh.

Transformation Marsh has many humanoid children and many cities.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Zhao Xing discovered Qing Yuzi, whose body was covered with green tubes, in one of the Giantwood City.

Qing Yuzi was suppressed in a lake that resembled a thick soup. At the bottom of the lake, there were many aquatic plants, from which many wooden vines spread out, as if tubes were inserted into the body of the Lao Qing.

Lao Qing would turn into a cow one moment, a horse the next, and then into some bizarre shape, making him unrecognizable as a human.

However, his soul remains pure, so it seems that Lao Qing was only here for training and was not truly harmed.

"Splash!"

Zhao Xing parted the water and appeared directly next to Lao Qing.

"Wow, the design is quite unique."

"It seems you're no longer afraid of the Divine General's trial?"

"That's right, I'm very comfortable," Qing Yuzi said calmly.

"Alright, then enjoy yourself. I'm leaving now." Zhao Xing made a move to leave.

"Wait, get me out of here, I'm almost done too," Qing Yuzi said hurriedly. "I can't move on my own."

"Okay." Zhao Xing smiled, waved his hand to cut off the Entanglement vines and roots, and scooped up the Lao Qing.

Three years later, the Qing Yuzi were restored to their original state.

"I plan to return to Divine Mechanism City. What are your plans?"

"I haven't decided yet," Qing Yuzi said. "Since I'm currently hunting people everywhere, I'm afraid I'll have to find a place to hide in the Nirvana Realm."

"What task did the Temple Master assign you?"

"Don't ask, it's a secret," Qing Yuzi said. "Anyway, I need to find a safe place to stay first."

"How about coming back to Divine Mechanism City with me?" Zhao Xing suggested.

"Hmm? Can I go?" Qing Yuzi was quite Intent Movement.

"Yes, of course," Zhao Xing said with a smile. "Qing Yuzi's name is renowned Ear Piercing. I think the Immeasurable True God will be pleased to see you arrive, and may even be willing to accept you."

Qing Yuzi was quite Intent Movement. This True God had Divine Emperor as his backer. Although he didn't know what kind of backing it was, he had heard the palace master mention it.

"Okay, how do we get back?" Qing Yuzi asked. "Do you have any token? I'll set up an interdimensional Teleportation Array."

"No need for all that trouble." Zhao Xing took out Time Page. "Once we leave the Internal World, we can return."

In Flowing Void Ravine, on a desolate Star Continent, Zhao Xing used the Ming Li Shadowless Art to collect the residual images of time left over from this period. In this way, even if someone returned to the point in time when he first entered the Internal World, they would not be able to see him, and there would be no mutual interference.

He then took out the Time Page, guided his finger along one of the lines, and the patterns on it began to light up. The end of the line started to move, reaching a picture of a city on the page.

"Buzz~"

The next moment, he and Qing Yuzi appeared in Divine Mechanism City.
