Chapter 215

Master wanted him to take Ji Zixuan and Murong Xue, so Zhao Xing also inquired about their origins.

Ji Zixuan was a royal clan woman; logically, it should be easy to find out by flipping through the royal genealogy.

In reality, it was very difficult because Ji Zixuan had no title, not even a Lady, and there were so many members of the Great Zhou royal clan. Zhao Xing spent half an hour flipping through the Earth Mirror before he found the origins of her lineage.

Ji Zixuan was the granddaughter of 'Prince Chenglan' of Cui-xian Commandery in Pinghai Province, and she was not the granddaughter of the primary wife. Prince Chenglan was the cousin of Emperor Jing, but their relationship was average; the two only shared the same grandfather.

Just counting Prince Chenglan's lineage, Ji Zixuan had over two thousand living brothers and sisters!

Ji Zixuan had lived for eighteen years, and before the age of sixteen, she had only seen her grandfather three times.

The first time was at her full-month celebration, and he didn't come specifically to see her; there were seven brothers and sisters born at the same time, and they held the full-month celebration together, so the old man came once.

The second time was at her hair-pinning ceremony, which also wasn't specifically for her; it was for many sisters together.

The third time was indeed specifically for Ji Zixuan, because she performed outstandingly and, through her own efforts, stood out among her brothers and sisters, getting into the Blue Water Dao Academy before her sixteenth birthday.

She also obtained a cup of royal destiny because of this.

After entering the Blue Water Dao Academy, Ji Zixuan met Princess Youruo—yes, met. Before this, she had never seen this aunt.

At that time, Princess Youruo happened to be bored and came to the Dao Academy to teach students. Upon discovering that Ji Zixuan was a good seedling and had a blood relationship with her, she took an interest and even brought her to the Ten Yang Cave Heaven.

Ji Zixuan didn't report her family background but reported the Blue Water Dao Academy because she was just a small, transparent person in the royal family, but she was the most outstanding student of this year's Blue Water Dao Academy.

Just looking at Ji Zixuan's family situation and her performance in the Dao Academy, Zhao Xing knew she wasn't simple.

"Fighting her way out of the Prince's mansion is no simpler than being an official, and being able to become the most outstanding graduate of the Blue Water Dao Academy, I don't know how much effort she put in or how much thought she spent," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Ji Zixuan looked innocent and well-behaved, and after seeing Zhao Xing, she called him 'Senior Brother' at every turn, very enthusiastically.

"Senior Brother, I heard that Fire Dragon Pass is the number one majestic pass in the Fire Demon Clan's territory?"

"Yes."

"So many armies couldn't take it down; Senior Brother is truly amazing."

"It wasn't my merit alone."

"Master said the Earth Fire Lotus is only a fourth-tier species, but Senior Brother can cultivate it to the fifth tier. Breaking the shackles of life, Senior Brother's Dao technique is pure and perfect, making this little sister admire you."

"..."

She seemed to be asking questions, but in reality, she was praising Zhao Xing in a roundabout way.

Master Zhao couldn't take it and had to pretend to 'disconnect': "Oh, Junior Sister, what, what did you just say? I, my grass puppet technique, am not very proficient... it's easy to have problems when distracted."

"It's okay," Ji Zixuan smiled brightly. "Senior Brother is busy, I won't bother you anymore."

The lively and enthusiastic Ji Zixuan made Murong Xue frown.

She made up her mind that once they arrived, she would find an excuse to leave and not stay with this person.

However, hearing that Zhao Xing could grow a fifth-tier Earth Fire Lotus and mentioning the grass puppet technique, Murong Xue was very surprised.

Because she was also an Agricultural Official, she completely understood the gold content of this.

"The Earth Fire Lotus is a fifth-tier wonder, and the Ten Thousand Laws Grass Puppet requires the integration of the five grass puppet techniques to be understood."

"No wonder Mother told me to follow him..."

"It's not impossible."

Two spells broke through immediately.

Although Ji Zixuan was repulsive to look at, Zhao Xing had real strength.

Murong Xue couldn't help but look a few more times at Zhao Xing, who was starting the Arrow Fish flying boat.

"Why does Murong Xue keep looking at me... Her thoughts are really strange, wanting to leave one moment and not wanting to leave the next."

Although Zhao Xing was busy with his back turned, he could still perceive Murong Xue's gaze.

Additionally, his Bright Eyes technique was now at a high level.

The high-level Bright Eyes technique could see through the thoughts of those with a lower cultivation base than himself and grasp the other party's psychological fluctuations.

Currently, the premise was that the other party's vigilance was relatively low and there were no magic arts or divine weapons blocking it.

"Murong Qing is from Yuanhe Commandery, but Murong Xue claims to be from Taihe Commandery," Zhao Xing pondered.

"Old Liu is from Taihe Commandery, so is she really Old Liu's daughter?"

"But she follows her mother's surname?"

"Her mother, Murong Qing, married the Fengchang Physician Jiang Minghe."

"Logically, she should be called Jiang Xue; is there some hidden secret inside?"

Zhao Xing's thoughts drifted; he couldn't figure it out, but he always felt that the Fengchang Physician had a green hat on his head.

However, he was only interested in gossip and had no thoughts about the two women themselves.

In the eyes of Master Zhao, who only wanted to seek longevity, women were a burden.

Because he used the Qi-Gazing technique to look at their destiny.

Their Qi was slightly red with gray-white, reaching the level of Derivative Two to Derivative Three.

It was true that Ji Zixuan was an Imperial Princess, but the royal family's destiny was spread thin, and not much could be divided to her.

Unless it was someone favored like Princess Youruo, whose destiny pillar appeared blue-purple, with a coiled dragon surrounding it; her fortune was like a flying dragon in the sky!

Princess Youruo's destiny level was at least Derivative Seven.

Because she was not only Emperor Jing's beloved daughter but also the core successor of the Blue Water Dao Academy and a direct descendant of the Your Majesty Yuanjun.

If one were to marry someone like Princess Youruo, after marriage, her status would not divide the destiny when being promoted, but would instead prosper the husband.

However, this was Old Liu's lover. Although Zhao Xing wanted to prove longevity, he was not some psychologically twisted pervert.

"The old witch matches the half-crazy Liu; it's truly a mutually beneficial illness."

"If there is a chance in this life, I could fulfill them," Zhao Xing smiled.

"Why is Senior Brother laughing?" Ji Zixuan seized the opportunity and didn't let go of any chance to strike up a conversation.

"I thought of something happy."

"What happy thing?"

"What did I just say?"

"You thought of something happy."

"Oh, I thought of something happy."

Ji Zixuan watched eagerly, but didn't hear the follow-up, knowing that Zhao Xing had 'disconnected' again.

It's really annoying for someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder... Ji Zixuan didn't have much energy to strike up a conversation anymore.

Because chatting with Zhao Xing was exhausting.

Spiritual Essence Hot Spring, Zhao Xing's true self got dressed.

"Drained nine hot springs, the fire fortune has been absorbed to the limit, it's about enough."

"Gathering the five fortunes, my destiny level can be improved again!"

Zhao Xing revealed a satisfied smile.

His destiny hadn't been at Derivative Four for long; normally, he would only break through again when promoted to the fourth rank.

However, he was only at the sixth rank now, and he already saw hope for an upgrade.

"Possessing the Qi Refining technique, gathering the five fortunes, and rising to Derivative Five has endless benefits," Zhao Xing said. "Where else is there destiny spiritual essence?"

Zhao Xing closed his eyes and pondered, recalling the situation regarding the Ten Yang Cave Heaven.

"The Polar Night Sea in the north, the Inverted Peak Mountain Range in the east, Pengli Marsh in the west, and Crimson Lake in the south—these four places all have destiny spiritual essence to be harvested."

"I remember the Inverted Peak Mountain Range still has several places of spiritual essence." Zhao Xing came to the cloud disk map on the Kirin flying boat.

The cloud disk map needed to be calibrated, inputting the earth veins and the time as parameters.

Although the military sand table was made by craftsmen, it usually required a Military Agricultural Official to calibrate it to be precise.

In complex terrain, only a Military Agricultural Official knew how to use it.

Now that the Cave Heaven had been upgraded, the terrain had changed greatly, and the original map was useless.

Zhao Xing's four grass puppet clones, one remained in the Eighteen Sophora and Willow Courtyard, and was now wandering around on the road to the Inverted Peak Mountain Range with Murong Xue and Ji Zixuan.

It wasn't entirely wandering; one was to delay time, and the other was to map and check the situation in different directions with the other three grass puppet clones.

"The reference points have changed too much; the places I recorded yesterday have shifted again today."

Zhao Xing modified and drew on the cloud disk map.

As the parameters input became more detailed, a scene in the southern part of the Inverted Peak Mountain Range on the cloud disk map attracted Zhao Xing's attention.

"Hmm? This place..."

Thirty-six miniature mountain peaks appeared on the sand table, floating in the sea of clouds, appearing and disappearing; their trajectory seemed to contain the mysteries of heaven and earth.

"Good, the Cloud Sea Strange Gate Peaks; this place was actually discovered by me first, haha." Zhao Xing couldn't help but laugh out loud.

In his previous life, this treasure land was originally discovered by an Agricultural Official named 'Liang Ruohai'.

The Cloud Sea Strange Gate Peaks contain the spiritual essence of ten thousand laws!

And the specifications are very high!

How high?

Ordinary spiritual essence of ten thousand laws is said to be able to improve ten thousand laws, but in fact, there are limitations.

For example, the magic arts of destiny-type professions cannot use the 'spiritual essence of ten thousand laws' to break through.

Secondly, cross-professional magic arts also don't work.

For example, for certain magic arts of priests, Agricultural Officials cannot use the spiritual essence of ten thousand laws to break through.

However, the Cloud Sea Strange Gate Peaks do not have this limitation!

"The Cave Heaven is upgraded, blessing all living beings; seek the Dao and you will obtain the Dao, seek longevity and you will obtain longevity."

"Such an opportunity may not even happen once in a thousand years. Liang Ruohai, in this life, I will take it for you first," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Liang Ruohai was not a nobody either.

Zhao Xing clearly remembered that this person was a fifth-rank Agricultural Official; once an official reached the fifth rank, it was easy to check in the Earth Mirror.

This person was currently serving in the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Mansion and was a member of the Liang Prince faction.

His status was not ordinary; he had taught several princes and young masters. Among the guests of the Prince's mansion, Liang Ruohai's status was very high.

Liang Ruohai was also a physiognomist; it was rumored that the selection of the Black Dragon Guards' battle pets for the Prince of Liang was overseen by this person.

"Must hurry, Liang Ruohai has already arrived in Yangcheng." When Zhao Xing checked in the Earth Mirror, he also found Liang Ruohai's name in a top-tier investigation team.

Zhao Xing had already completely memorized the operation route of the Cloud Sea Strange Gate Peaks in his mind.

He broke up the cloud disk, walked outside, and shouted: "Long Xiao, are you done yet, hurry up!"

Currently, only Long Xiao was still absorbing fire fortune.

Ji Zijun, Xia Jing, and Old Chen had long been unable to absorb anymore.

"I feel like I can continue if I endure it, why are you in such a hurry?" Long Xiao asked.

"Then you can continue here, we'll go first," Zhao Xing said. "It just so happens that my grass puppet clone will be coming over in a while, you can protect us by the way."

"Old Chen, Xia Jing, Brother Ji, let's go."

Yangcheng, in a residence.

"Young Master, the investigation team has been established, we can set off." A middle-aged man wearing a coir raincoat and holding a jade bamboo staff spoke.

"Master, can you calculate where my opportunity lies?" Beside him, a young man wearing black dragon armor asked in a deep voice.

Liang Ruohai pondered: "Young Master is of the royal family, the purple energy comes from the east, the opportunity is naturally in the east."

Ji Dan nodded: "Then please lead the way, Master."

Young Master Dan was the youngest son of the Prince of Liang.

Saying he was the youngest son, he was also seventy or eighty years old.

The youngest son was generally favored, and Ji Dan was no exception.

This time he came to the Ten Yang Cave Heaven, the Prince of Liang arranged for him to join a top-tier investigation team and sent him a fifth-rank Agricultural Official like Liang Ruohai who was proficient in deduction.

Following Ji Dan were four other people, all of whom were fifth-rank experts.

There were other Prince's mansion young masters in this top-tier investigation team, and Ji Dan's force was considered relatively large.

Just as Young Master Dan set off, Zhao Xing drove the Kirin flying boat into a sea of clouds.

"Cousin, what is he looking for? We've been wandering in these clouds for almost an hour," Xia Jing asked, puzzled.

The only one here who understood Feng Shui and destiny was Ji Zijun.

"Don't ask me, I don't know either," Ji Zijun shook his head. "I can't see anything."

"Cousin, Uncle is a Fate Official, didn't he teach you a trick or two?" Xia Jing asked. His uncle was a royal clan member and worked in the Heavenly Secret Hall; his uncle's official position wasn't high, but he was the most mysterious [Fate Official].

"Kirin Child, what are you talking about?" Ji Zijun said. "Can the secret arts of the Heavenly Secret Hall be taught to me? My father wants to live a few more years."

"I only know a little bit of the surface, all of which are small magic arts I got from the Dao Academy."

"Oh, I thought you knew," Xia Jing said. "Zhao Xing also learned some superficial methods."

"..." Ji Zijun was speechless.

"Maybe he's a Military Agricultural Official, more sensitive to changes in heaven and earth, and combined with deduction methods, the accuracy is higher," Chen Shijie said, saving face for the heir at the right time.

These past few days, they had been hanging out with Zhao Xing, picking up treasures everywhere.

Ji Zijun and Zhao Xing both used deduction and divination methods to find treasures.

But Zhao Xing's accuracy and the quality of the treasure lands were much higher.

It was just that none of them had a panel to see the increase in lifespan and destiny.

Otherwise, they would be shocked.

Without these two things, Zhao Xing's behavior wasn't shocking; after all, the Ten Yang Cave Heaven was upgraded, and there were treasures everywhere.

"Old Chen, stop the boat!"

As they were chatting, Zhao Xing, who was at the front of the deck, suddenly spoke.

"What did you find?" Xia Jing and Ji Zijun immediately ran to the bow of the boat.

"Look twenty miles to the east, at a height of one hundred meters," Zhao Xing pointed.

"Hmm?" Xia Jing and Ji Zijun looked over, but found that it was empty, with only some clouds and mist rolling.

"There's nothing there."

"There is a door there," Zhao Xing's emotions were a bit agitated. "Brother Ji, what time is it now?"

Ji Zijun took out the almanac; the almanac didn't need calibration now because there was only one sun left.

"The third quarter of the hour of the tiger (3:45 AM), what's wrong?"

Zhao Xing said: "When it reaches the seventh quarter of the hour of the rabbit (5:45 AM), we will be able to see that door."

"I observed for a long time just now; those thirty-six mountain peaks operate in this sea of clouds, pulling each other, and will form a Heavenly Gate in the direction I just pointed out."

"I calculated that at a specific time, if we leap over that door, we will be able to obtain great benefits!"

"How big?" Xia Jing asked eagerly.

"This big!" Zhao Xing spread his hands.

"Good, good, good," Xia Jing's eyes narrowed with a smile. "I knew there would be meat to eat if I followed you."

Xia Jing rarely saw Zhao Xing in such high spirits.

Like the previous sixth-tier Giant Spirit Tree and the Spiritual Essence Hot Spring, Zhao Xing's expression was very flat.

Now he was a bit excited; clearly, they had really found a good place!

"Zhao Xing, how did you do it?" Ji Zijun couldn't help but ask. "Your deduction method is actually this strong?"

Zhao Xing smiled: "Brother Ji, it's not entirely the merit of deduction."

"I, Xia Jing, Old Chen, including Long Xiao, have all just been promoted, baptized by the destiny of the nation, and our destiny is currently at its peak."

"Brother Ji, your destiny is not low either; with the few of us added together, good luck is superimposed, so even if we just walk around, we can bump into treasures."

Ji Zijun realized: "That's right, my father said that the strength of a person's fortune is not necessarily determined by a good background, but also depends on the time and specific circumstances. You all are either newly promoted or ennobled, no wonder... I am the one who has benefited from your light."

"Exactly so," Zhao Xing nodded.

He was able to find the place so quickly, not entirely relying on his previous life's experience.

No matter how low a person's destiny is, they will have one or two peak periods of luck in their lifetime.

Xia Jing, Zhao Xing, Chen Shijie, and Long Xiao were all newly promoted and ennobled, baptized by the destiny of the nation.

According to the theory of destiny, these people were all in the peak period of their fortune.

Even if one had a destiny of Derivative Five or Derivative Six, if they were in a trough, they might not have as great a harvest in this event as someone with a lower destiny level if they were not in the period of response.

Of course, it also depends on whether one can grasp this window of destiny eruption.

Time is short; if there wasn't a prophet like Zhao Xing here, even if Xia Jing and the others passed by here, they might not be able to grasp the big treasure and might only pick up a few small treasures.

"The seventh quarter of the hour of the rabbit, right? Then I'll just wait." Xia Jing looked at the east with expectation.

At the same time, Ji Zixuan and Murong Xue were also brought to the Spiritual Essence Hot Spring.

Because Zhao Xing and the others had left the Spiritual Essence Hot Spring, and their absorption had reached the upper limit, only Long Xiao and Aotian Meow were left soaking in the hot spring here.

Since that was the case, it wouldn't hurt to give these two some benefits.

Otherwise, it would be easy to handle Old Liu, but Princess Youruo would be hard to explain to.

For the sake of the sixth-tier Dragon Soul Jade, Zhao Xing brought the two to the Spiritual Essence Hot Spring.

"Junior Sister, Miss Murong."

"In the valley below, there are many spiritual essence hot springs," Zhao Xing pointed below and said. "The fire in the water will actively penetrate your bodies; if you soak in it, you can enhance your five-element fire fortune."

"In the year of Wu-Gui, fire fortune governs it; your increase in fire fortune will allow you to have good luck in these two years, months, and days."

Zhao Xing was afraid that these two little girls wouldn't understand, so he specifically explained it.

However, he clearly underestimated the two; both Ji Zixuan and Murong Xue had some understanding of the way of destiny and understood it immediately.

"Thank you, Senior Brother!" Ji Zixuan was overjoyed; this time her smile was from the heart.

"Thank you, Lord Zhao." Murong Xue's voice remained cold, but her emotions also had a little fluctuation.

Although Ji Zixuan was born in the royal family, she really hadn't seen the world.

Murong Xue had seen the world, but she had never seen such a scene.

The richness of the spiritual essence here was enough to take a bath in!

"The penetration of fire in the water will cause you to have erotic hallucinations; you should set up magic arrays and isolation measures by the hot spring yourself."

"In the two hot springs in the southeast of the valley, my friends are there, but don't worry, I will isolate all detection."

After Ji Zixuan selected a hot spring, she smiled brightly at Zhao Xing: "Thank you, Senior Brother; if Senior Brother can't find another hot spring, you can also come here to bathe together."

"Cheap!" Murong Xue cursed in her heart.

Worthy of being the old witch's disciple... Zhao Xing said expressionlessly: "Thank you for your kindness, Junior Sister, I have already finished soaking."

Afterward, he brought Murong Xue to another place: "Miss Murong, you can be here."

"Thank you." Murong Xue bowed.

Zhao Xing nodded and flew into the sky, sitting on a cliff in the valley to meditate.

"Splash~"

Not long after, sounds came from the two hot springs, clearly the two had already entered the water.

For the next two quarters of an hour, there was no movement from Murong Qing's side.

But from Ji Zixuan's side, there were faint sounds of humming.

Zhao Xing shook his head and directly closed his hearing.

Ji Zixuan was really bold, actually not making any preparations, not even setting up a sound-insulation magic array.

However, Ji Zixuan's behavior reminded Zhao Xing of some things:

"In my previous life, I never heard that the old witch had any disciples, but she raised a group of assassins under her command; could this Ji Zixuan be that phantom assassin?"

Speaking of which, Zhao Xing had been killed by this phantom assassin.

Because he took the old witch's mission but failed to assassinate the capable general under Liu Tianning.

So the old witch sent the 'Phantom' to kill all the players who were doing these missions.

Why else would I say these two have the same illness?

The old witch also loved to chop people at every turn.

"Forget it, I won't care about the past life," Zhao Xing thought. "The old witch was also quite miserable in her past life."

Princess Youruo didn't marry Liu Tianning in her past life; during the Dazhi period, she married into the Southern Barbarians.

Emperor Jing's war against the barbarians was defeated, and the two sides signed a peace treaty; the Yanguang Royal Court proposed to marry a princess to show the friendship between the two countries.

Princess Youruo married into the Yanguang Royal Court, which was the Baboke tribe that controlled sand worms.

"Emperor Jing originally only planned to pick a Lady to deal with it, but didn't expect Princess Youruo to take the initiative to ask to marry," Zhao Xing pondered. "Could it be because she was angry with Old Liu?"

He felt it was very likely.

Zhao Xing was quite puzzled at the time that Emperor Jing married Princess Youruo.

Because even if Emperor Jing was defeated, he only lost more than half of the Yingyuan Mansion, and the Great Zhou was still strong; there was no need to use his beloved daughter to marry for peace.

"Heartbroken by Old Liu, so she decided to marry far away to the Southern Barbarians?"

"Her marriage caused me to fight a bitter battle in the Yanguang Royal Court for nine years," Zhao Xing sighed.

Why did Master Zhao sigh so much? Because the Martial Emperor's youth was raised by Princess Youruo.

Including the later [Imperial Prince Trial], Princess Youruo's help to the Martial Emperor was also very great.

Returning to the Eighteen Locust Willow Courtyard, Zhao Xing suddenly realized one thing.

On that day, at the Chen hour, spiritual light rushed into the sky in various areas.

Various visions also appeared over Yangcheng.

Until the Wu hour, the Three Kings of the Military Realm announced the blockade of the entrance and exit of the Ten Suns Cave Heaven, prohibiting personnel movement.

At the third quarter of the Wu hour, the Si Nong Supervisory announced that the Ten Suns Cave Heaven was upgraded to a Blessed Land.

The cave heaven spiritual beauty that Zhao Xing had been looking forward to for a long time finally came!

This is all smelling the scent!

"No, I must finalize this matter as soon as possible, and tell Xia Jing to let them get a quota as soon as possible, and be sure to make full preparations! It will be too late if it is late!"

Zhao Xing sat on the hillside, with his back to this side.

"What a gentleman." Ji Zixuan's face was flushed, and she licked her lips. "For so long, he didn't even steal a glance."

Ji Zixuan walked out of the hot spring; she looked at the reflection in the hot spring, the beauty inside had skin like grease, a perfect figure, and in the hot spring mist, she looked extremely seductive.

Ji Zixuan touched her face: "Master told me to get close to him, but he was completely unmoved."

Regarding Princess Youruo's arrangement, Ji Zixuan had no resistance. Don't look at Ji Zixuan being born in the royal family, but her status was low, her mother's family wasn't strong, and the spot to enter the Dao Academy was fought for by her own hard work.

Born in the Prince's mansion, she couldn't escape the fate of marriage in the future.

After reading Zhao Xing's resume, she felt that this person was a good match.

However... Ji Zixuan was good at observing people and could see that Zhao Xing had no interest in her for the time being.

"Not interested for the time being doesn't mean not interested forever," Ji Zixuan smiled lightly and quickly took out a set of clothes from the box next to her.

She changed into a simple and elegant set of clothes, not as gorgeous as before.

Then she operated her cultivation technique, and her temperament changed greatly; there was no more seductive look, and there was a bit more heroic spirit on her face.

After tidying up a little, Ji Zixuan flew toward Zhao Xing: "Thank you, Senior Brother, for watching over me; I have already absorbed the spiritual spring here to the limit."

"Hmm." Zhao Xing didn't even lift his head.

This time it wasn't pretending to disconnect, but he really couldn't spare any energy.

Because the hour of the rabbit had arrived, his thoughts were all on the Cloud Sea Thirty-Six Strange Gate Peaks.

Found the place at the third quarter of the hour of the tiger, and then Zhao Xing, Xia Jing, Chen Shijie, and Ji Zijun waited until the seventh quarter of the hour of the rabbit.

"Boom~"

At this time, thirty-six mountain peaks suddenly appeared in the vast white sea of clouds.

The lush green mountain peaks, like the foundation of a natural magic array, operated in the sea of clouds according to a certain trajectory.

"Whoo~"

The sea of clouds surged, and rays of light radiated from the mountain peaks, refracting through the sea of clouds to form a golden portal in the sky.

Secret patterns appeared on the golden portal, emitting a misty aura.

By the time the portal was completely stable, it was already a quarter of an hour later.

Xia Jing, Chen Shijie, and Ji Zijun witnessed all of this and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"A Heavenly Gate actually appeared."

"Oh my god, my heart is about to jump out!"

Ji Zijun covered his chest.

This was because the induction of the spiritual essence of heaven and earth was too strong, and they were too close.

It couldn't even be considered a sudden impulse; the four of them were trembling all over.

"Zhao Zhao Zhao... Damn!" Xia Jing operated his cultivation technique, and only then did he regain control of his body and stop trembling.

"What now?"

Zhao Xing was also equally excited; he smiled: "Have you ever heard the story of a fish leaping over the dragon gate?"

"I have!" Xia Jing said. "It is rumored that on the shores of the East Sea, there was an ancient Dragon Court, and the Dragon Court had a magical treasure; every once in a while, the Dragon Court would open a portal, attracting the dragon's sons and grandsons."

"If one can leap over the dragon gate, whether it's a small fish, a big fish, or a shrimp soldier or crab general, they can all turn into dragons in one day!"

"Not bad," Zhao Xing pointed to the Heavenly Gate. "What we need to do now is to leap over that Heavenly Gate!"

"The Dao Gate naturally formed by the Cave Heaven contains the ten thousand laws of heaven and earth; if you and I leap over it, our Dao technique realm will be able to soar."

"Eh?" Xia Jing was stunned. "I heard the word fish, and I actually didn't react?!"

"Hahaha!" Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie couldn't help but laugh together.

In the face of a great opportunity, Xia Jing, a man who was born hating to eat fish, actually didn't vomit.

"Three brothers, charge with me! Cross the Heavenly Gate!"

Zhao Xing took the lead in riding the clouds and rushed toward the huge portal in the sky.

Above the primeval forest, a Black Dragon warship flew from north to east.

Liang Ruohai, Ji Dan, Xie Kuiguang, and others were discussing on the warship.

"Although I joined the top-tier investigation team, the advanced missions of the Military Realm are also very heavy; every few days, I have to hand in a certain amount of treasures," Ji Dan pondered.

"Xie Kuiguang, go downstairs and find Lord Ding; after arriving at Inverted Peak Mountain, follow Mr. Liang's guidance and go to these areas to collect treasures."

"Yes, Young Master." The martial general Xie Kuiguang immediately complied and walked down.

After ordering his subordinates, Ji Dan walked to the observation deck.

At this time, Liang Ruohai was holding a simple black and white disk and took out a few bones that were as clear as jade and placed them on it.

"Master, is there a result?" Ji Dan walked over and stared at the black and white disk.

Liang Ruohai looked at the cracked jade bone and pondered deeply.

Seeing him silent, Ji Dan didn't disturb him, just waited quietly.

A moment later, Liang Ruohai looked up:

"The jade bone crack is one inch, two inches shorter than the last time I calculated; the fortune bone is reversed, with signs of collapse."

"What does Master mean?"

"I don't know why, but the Young Master's opportunity has come to an abrupt end," Liang Ruohai stared at the bones on the black and white disk. "It's like it was interrupted by someone."

Ji Dan frowned, his voice low: "Interrupted by someone? Does Master mean someone is plotting against me?"

Liang Ruohai was thoughtful: "It may not be aimed at the Young Master, but the divination result is indeed like someone taking a step ahead and obtaining the opportunity that should have belonged to the Young Master."

"Maybe it's a coincidence."

Ji Dan's eyebrows stood up, and a trace of ferocity flashed in his eyes: "Master, how can there be so many coincidences in the world?"

"Someone must be plotting against me!"

Liang Ruohai was silent.

Ji Dan said: "Master, the nineteenth brother and the fifteenth brother have both entered Yangcheng; do you think this is a coincidence?"

"Please help me, Master!"

Liang Ruohai nodded: "Please ask the Young Master to fetch the Black Dragon essence blood and dragon blood bone marrow."

"I will calculate who snatched your opportunity."

Ji Dan gritted his teeth and said: "Good, if you calculate the result, please Master must not hide it and tell me immediately! No matter who it is, I will definitely not let them have an easy time!"

The Heavenly Gate is a Dao portal naturally formed by the Cave Heaven, containing the leaked truths of the world's upgrade and evolution.

If sensing the Dao in the outside world is like sucking water with a thin reed, then leaping over the Heavenly Gate is equivalent to pouring water directly into your stomach.

However, the process of ascending the Heavenly Gate is not easy.

The portal formed by the thirty-six strange peaks carries the pressure of heaven and earth.

It was clearly only one hundred meters high, but when Zhao Xing flew over, he felt as if he had flown one hundred thousand meters.

It felt just like the Dao of the True Lord of Departing Fire back then.

If Zhao Xing hadn't already reached the Heavenly Gang Realm, he probably wouldn't have been able to pass through this Heavenly Gate.

"Hum~"

Finally, Zhao Xing flew to the Heavenly Gate.

Taking one step out, the world spun.

Xia Jing, Chen Shijie, and Ji Zijun behind him were already blurred and invisible.

A distorted, colorful starry sky appeared around him.

Countless insights of the Dao flickered in front of Zhao Xing.

Some flickering lights even gave Zhao Xing an illusion: after touching them, he could become an immortal on the spot and prove the Dao of longevity.

Other Daos emitted incomparably powerful light, as if once learned, he could destroy the world.

But Zhao Xing knew that most of the 'Daos' were false.

It was an illusion.

"Crossing the Heavenly Gate, the Dao seen is only real if it belongs to oneself."

Zhao Xing closed his eyes and sat cross-legged.

He didn't pursue the Daos he hadn't learned, but began to perform the Dao techniques he already knew.

"Crossing the Heavenly Gate cannot allow a sixth-rank to master top-tier magic arts; I must withstand the temptation."

"And among the high-level magic arts I have learned, the most worthy of breakthrough are undoubtedly the Great Expansion Scripture, the Divination of the Marquis, the Tortoise Coin Divination, and the Five-Finger Destiny."

Other methods could find ways to assist in improvement.

But destiny-type magic arts, during the Great Zhou period, were very, very difficult to break through.

If there wasn't this opportunity, Zhao Xing wouldn't know how many years it would take to break through to the high-level layer.

This wasn't a question of talent, but the Founding Emperor's great ambition of establishing the Dao was blocking it; except for the court's [Fate Official], no one else could successfully cultivate to a profound level.

Now, it was an excellent opportunity!

"Break through the Five-Finger Destiny first."

Zhao Xing quickly made a decision. Because the Tortoise Coin Divination required a tortoise.

He was too excited just now and forgot to take the tortoise shell on the boat.

"Break through this magic art first."

Even at this time, there were still many temptations.

For example, a starlight drifted in front of Zhao Xing, and in that light, there seemed to be a top-tier destiny deduction method.

However, Zhao Xing had experienced many trials in the Questioning Heart Platform, and his Dao heart was very firm, so he ignored these temptations.

"Five-Finger Destiny."

Zhao Xing pinched his fingers and began to deduce the things that would happen to him in the future.

Boom~

The entire starry sky began to flicker.

Zhao Xing's consciousness seemed to be infinitely magnified!

Inside his body, the full picture of the Ten Yang Cave Heaven actually appeared!

"At this moment, the Ten Yang Cave Heaven is my inner five-element heaven and earth; the deduction effect of the Five-Finger Destiny is infinitely magnified," Zhao Xing realized in his heart.

Destiny is my destiny!

At this moment, the Ten Yang Cave Heaven briefly served as Zhao Xing's 'inner five-element heaven and earth', the foundation of deduction.

Any price would be borne by the Cave Heaven and would not act on Zhao Xing.

"Yangcheng."

Zhao Xing was in the Inverted Peak Mountain Range, but he saw Yangcheng.

His heart moved, and he even saw the Eighteen Sophora and Willow Courtyard.

All the furnishings inside appeared completely and clearly in his mind.

"My will briefly became the will of the Ten Yang Cave Heaven; this is truly borrowing the power of heaven and earth."

"Destiny-type professions are really terrifyingly strong at this stage."

Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Not just Yangcheng, but the Polar Night Sea, Crimson Lake, and other maps all appeared before Zhao Xing's eyes.

He could see any place he wanted to see.

However, when his gaze fell on a high tower above Yangcheng, he immediately looked away.

The high tower floated in the void, completely unaffected by the Cave Heaven's upheaval, as if it existed independently of the Cave Heaven world.

The reason Zhao Xing looked away so quickly was because there were three terrifying auras inside.

"That place should be where the Three Kings are."

Zhao Xing only took one glance, then quickly looked away, even extinguishing his thoughts, pretending he hadn't seen this scene.

At the same time, inside the Hundred Soldiers Tower.

Prince Tianyan, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes and looked suspiciously in a certain direction.

Prince Rahu opened his eyes immediately after, also vaguely sensing something.

Prince Lingde only felt the abnormality of the two kings.

"What's wrong, you two?"

Prince Lingde felt that the two were instantly in a state of combat.

"It seems..." Prince Tianyan frowned. "Something took a look at me."

"You felt it too?" Prince Rahu said. "It's as if someone is calculating me."

The two had very high ranks, the Primordial Soul Realm; not just the life soul, but even the karma soul had become extremely powerful.

If someone plotted against them, experts in the Primordial Soul Realm would sense it.

And they had blessings in the Hundred Soldiers Tower, making them even more sensitive.

"What exactly is wrong, who dares to spy on you?" Prince Lingde asked.

"It may not be spying," Prince Tianyan's pupils rolled, and a moment later they returned to normal. "Perhaps it's the deduction of the Creation Disk involving me and Rahu."

"Hmm." Prince Rahu nodded, agreeing: "His Majesty wants to invade the Southern Barbarians on a large scale; it's possible that both I and Tianyan will have to go to the battlefield."

"I suppose the Creation Disk is deducing frantically at this time, and it's normal for me and Tianyan to be involved."

Neither of them thought of anything else.

Because they were in the Hundred Soldiers Tower, and the two were the highest level in the Military Realm!

The Great Zhou Founding Emperor slashed the destiny-type professions again.

Enemy plotting?

Impossible.

The only explanation was that the court's Fate Official, or the Creation Disk, was conducting a large-scale deduction involving them.

"Alright," Prince Lingde said upon hearing this. "It seems my strength is low, and I'm not qualified to be calculated on the disk."

"Haha." Both Prince Tianyan and Prince Rahu laughed.

After Zhao Xing avoided the Hundred Soldiers Tower, he immediately scanned the other directions.

He saw many portals of the Ten Yang Cave Heaven.

For example, the 'Blue Lake Entrance', the mountain ridge portal standing on Five Plate Mountain, and the 'Golden Dragon Portal' inside the Dayuan Mansion...

"A total of nine portals, this is the same as what I know, wait... what is that?"

Zhao Xing's gaze suddenly focused.

It landed on a mountain range in the south; deep underground in the mountain range, an ancient palace was looming.

The aura outside was vaguely transmitted; at this time, Zhao Xing could judge that the boundary of this palace was very weak, meeting the conditions of a 'Cave Heaven Portal'.

But it seemed to be different.

"This... how come the Ten Yang Cave Heaven has another portal?" Zhao Xing was surprised and uncertain.

A mysterious palace, suspected to be the tenth portal, this was too surprising!

Zhao Xing had never heard of it in his previous life.

However, he couldn't see through the mysterious palace.

"This palace even vaguely has a sense of familiarity."

Many doubts arose in Zhao Xing's heart.

But at this time, he couldn't see through the palace; in just an instant, it disappeared from his 'deduction vision'.

Afterward, Zhao Xing continued to deduce, but the results always led to other directions.

The mysterious palace seemed to block the deduction of heaven's secrets.

"Time is running out."

Zhao Xing only recorded the location, then began to deduce whether there were any dangers or abnormalities in the future.

As for the treasures of the Cave Heaven? This didn't need to be calculated; Master Zhao himself knew them.

Pinching his fingers to calculate, soon countless figures of 'himself' appeared all over the Ten Yang Cave Heaven.

These figures were either digging mountains, diving, flying in the air, or sitting in a tower boat.

Countless figures were doing different things.

Zhao Xing ignored those non-combat scenes and only looked at the scenes where he was fighting.

"Hmm?"

Zhao Xing looked at one of the scenes, and his heart suddenly jumped wildly. "What? How did I get into a fight with Venerable Blood Spirit?"

Who was Venerable Blood Spirit? Zhao Xing had encountered the Profound Heaven Sect's split soul body in Gucheng. He was also the person who planned the arrest at that time.

"Impossible, how could Venerable Blood Spirit appear in the Ten Yang Cave Heaven? He has no reason to be able to get in..."

"Could it be that palace?"

Profound Heaven Sect, Venerable Blood Spirit... calculating and calculating, Zhao Xing suddenly thought of a possibility, and his scalp went numb.

"Could it be that the ten suns in the sky in the previous life were not natural, but man-made?"

"And the culprit was the Profound Heaven Sect?"
