Chapter 255: Meeting the King of Heaven

Zhao Xing never ignored any abnormalities. At this moment, he felt his heart thumping, rising with some kind of induction, and immediately closed his eyes, beginning to dream.

"Three Souls Converge!"

In Zhao Xing's dream, a blurry figure immediately appeared. This figure looked exactly like him, but at this moment, the figure was somewhat dim, flickering.

The so-called Three Souls Converge refers to the Life Soul and the Heaven Soul (Past Soul), Earth Soul (Causality Soul) gathering together.

The Heaven Soul has already moved into the Great Zhou's temple, so now only the Causality Soul is gathering. Of course, even without living in the temple, the Heaven Soul could not be seen before.

The Causality Soul was only dim for a moment, then returned to normal and slowly faded away, but Zhao Xing understood that he had definitely been plotted against.

He opened his eyes and calculated with the Five-Finger Heaven Destiny, finding that his luck for the next three months was all auspicious.

"The Causality Soul warned me, but the Five-Finger Heaven Destiny divination is auspicious. Either the other party's realm is higher than mine, shielding the heavenly secrets, or I calculated wrong."

"Better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "Still, I must be cautious and make more preparations."

He had Myriad Law Clones, but they were not unkillable.

The Third Rank Primordial Soul Realm could distinguish between his true self and clones.

If one cultivated soul-type secret techniques, such as the Curse-Killing Technique, one could influence the true self through the life soul power of the clones even if they hit a clone.

Of course, this was separated by a layer and not as effective as attacking the true self directly.

"I have to guard against this hand. After meeting the person, I will go to the Great Dream Academy and ask the silly bird to see if it can get me a Seventh-Rank Soul Armor," Zhao Xing thought.

"I previously calculated that the 30th year of Jingxin would be an eventful autumn, and now even Liu Tianning has come to the East Sea to execute official business; I'm afraid I've been targeted for a long time."

"It's just that I'm either with the Princess in one place, or I don't know where my true self is, so I'm afraid they haven't found a good opportunity."

Now that there was an induction, it proved that the enemy in the dark was already working on it, at least having found a feasible method.

"Need to improve strength as soon as possible and have more trump cards," Zhao Xing pondered.

He was currently resting in the post house of Chongming Prefecture. Theoretically, a prefecture-level place should give people enough sense of security.

But Zhao Xing now had a feeling that there were enemies everywhere.

"Hum~"

Suddenly, Zhao Xing's Earth Mirror received a message.

【King of Heaven's Evolution: Zhao Xing, come to the Chongming Prefecture Temple. Remember, your true self must come.】

Seeing this message, Zhao Xing was stunned.

The King of Heaven's Evolution specifically told me to go in person?

"It wouldn't be a fake message, would it?"

But Zhao Xing immediately denied this speculation.

First of all, how difficult it would be to tamper with Earth Mirror messages.

Secondly, the Chongming Prefecture Temple was a prefecture-level temple. Unless the Prince of Liang rebelled now and the entire Chongming Prefecture rebelled, it was impossible to make a move in such a place.

"I must be too nervous," Zhao Xing thought.

It's just, why did the King of Heaven's Evolution have to add a sentence, letting him go in person?

With doubts, Zhao Xing still set off for the Chongming Prefecture Temple.

After entering the temple, the King of Heaven's Evolution sent him a few more messages.

According to the guidance of the King of Heaven's Evolution, Zhao Xing came to the southeast area of the Chongming Prefecture Temple, a 'True Lord Wu Cheng Hall.'

This was dedicated to the founding Duke Wu Cheng, who was also the first Grand Minister of Agriculture of the Great Zhou.

After Zhao Xing entered the temple and bowed, a priest appeared and led him to the side hall.

Then he passed through the back hall of the side hall and came to an underground secret room.

"Please enter," the priest pointed to the entrance of the underground secret room.

"This lord, may I ask what place this is?" Zhao Xing asked.

"I don't know; I was just ordered to bring you here."

"Ordered by whom?"

"You should know, but don't tell me. This is a high-level channel that can lead to many places."

Zhao Xing nodded and walked down the stairs.

Rumble~

As soon as he went down the stairs, the secret room door closed. Zhao Xing looked back; the surroundings were seamless and smooth.

Zhao Xing looked at the decoration inside. It looked very simple, but every inch of brick and every wall contained mysteries, with top-tier arrays existing.

"Evasion techniques failed, Heaven Eye technique failed, even Pure Origin Projection couldn't be cast," Zhao Xing looked at the surroundings.

In the center of the underground secret room, there was a light gate, but this door was only three meters high and two meters wide.

Zhao Xing looked and immediately felt relieved.

Because the door was engraved with the two characters 'Heaven Evolution.'

"So it's a secret entrance to the Military World, belonging to the high-level channel of the Heavenly Secret Palace."

"This should lead directly to the imperial official agency controlled by the King of Heaven's Evolution."

At this moment, the door frame of the light gate suddenly lit up, and a sound came.

"Zhao Xing, come in."

Hearing the voice of the King of Heaven's Evolution, Zhao Xing dispelled the doubts in his heart.

"Yes." Zhao Xing stepped into the light gate.

Coming out of the light gate, the world before him became clear.

Ahead appeared an array corridor, with many door frames standing on both sides of the corridor.

The reason they were called door frames was that some doors only had frames and didn't glow.

Many channels were not open.

Zhao Xing looked back and found that his door was standing at the foot of a statue, and this statue was exactly Wu Cheng.

He bowed to Wu Cheng again, turned around, and saw the King of Heaven's Evolution appearing behind him.

Mysterious and elusive, walking without sound.

"Greetings, King of Heaven's Evolution." Zhao Xing saluted.

"You seem a little nervous." The King of Heaven's Evolution was slightly fat, with a typical round face, and gave people a feeling of spring breeze when he smiled.

This greatly relieved Zhao Xing's nervous mood.

"This official is entering this kind of place for the first time," Zhao Xing chose to tell the truth. "Plus, I have had premonitions recently, always feeling that someone is plotting against me."

The King of Heaven's Evolution nodded: "This is also within my expectations. You are young and understand three schools of spells, and you performed well in the Ancient Dragon Court quota competition. Although the Heavenly Secret Pavilion covered for you, in the current situation, it is inevitable that villains will peek."

Zhao Xing was outstanding, which had been shown since the Ten Suns Cave Heaven and the barbarian pacification battlefield.

No matter how much he covered, he would still be targeted.

"This is still the result of being covered. If no cover was done at all, I'm afraid it would be more serious." The King of Heaven's Evolution waved his hand, signaling Zhao Xing to follow.

Zhao Xing followed the King of Heaven's Evolution obediently, falling half a body behind, listening to him talk while walking.

"In this quota competition, your real ranking was 78th," the King of Heaven's Evolution said.

So high? Zhao Xing didn't expect it.

"After the third stage, you were first; after the fourth stage, you were thirteenth."

"Before entering the fifth stage, your ranking was frighteningly high, and you were only Fifth Rank. If it wasn't covered, I don't know how many assassinations you would encounter in the next ten years," the King of Heaven's Evolution said.

"Of course, it's not that there is no way to protect you, but you won't have any freedom for these ten years, and you won't be able to do anything."

"So the best way is to let your ranking keep sliding, finally locking it at over four hundred."

The King of Heaven's Evolution explained his intentions to Zhao Xing.

"Thank you, King of Heaven's Evolution."

"However, this is only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. How can there be a thousand days of guarding against thieves?" The King of Heaven's Evolution said. "So, in the end, you have to become stronger yourself."

"Do you know why I asked your true self to come?"

Zhao Xing shook his head: "This official doesn't know."

"Because I want to teach you a top-tier soul-type secret technique," the King of Heaven's Evolution said.

Top-tier soul-type secret technique? Zhao Xing suddenly realized.

Since it was a top-tier soul-type secret technique, it involved the Life Soul and also involved the seven souls of the physical body.

The cultivation of soul and soul is complementary. Zhao Xing's previous swallowing of Yin-Yang fish and taking Primordial Spirit fruits was not called cultivation. It was purely resource accumulation.

So in the Sixth Rank and Fifth Rank, sequelae appeared.

Fortunately, there were Myriad Law Clones to eliminate these sequelae.

The link of cultivating Myriad Law Clones was cultivation.

"How difficult it is to cultivate top-tier secret techniques; only top-tier geniuses are qualified to be taught top-tier secret techniques before entering high ranks."

"Among top-tier secret techniques, soul-type secret techniques are the most difficult of the difficult."

"And what I want to teach you this time is the top-tier soul cultivation method—the 'Evolution God Decision'!"

Zhao Xing showed a surprised expression, half of which was pretended, and half was truly surprised.

Because the "Evolution God Decision" was the Great Zhou's top-tier soul cultivation method.

It was not Life Soul cultivation, but soul!

That is to say, it contained the Fourth Rank 【Soul Refining】 method.

Fourth Rank Primordial Soul Realm needs to cultivate the seven souls of the physical body.

Cultivating the seven souls with a top-tier method and cultivating with a high-level secret technique had a big difference.

This was the top-tier soul-type secret technique that could be obtained in the era of origin energy.

Were there other soul-type methods in the world? Yes, but they were only on par.

Great Dream Spring and Autumn might be a bit stronger, but Great Dream Spring and Autumn only cultivates 'soul' and does not refine 'soul.'

If the final effect difference is practiced, it is just personal encounter, such as taking Primordial Spirit fruits, which is naturally stronger.

From the secret technique itself, the Evolution God Decision is undoubtedly the best.

"Not just you, in the four seas, thirty-eight geniuses this time will receive special treatment," the King of Heaven's Evolution said slowly. "The entire Great Zhou selects people from the middle-rank realm, and only thirty-eight are selected."

"The Ancient Dragon Court opens every hundred years, and our Heavenly Secret Pavilion also selects every hundred years, so you know the weight of it."

"Thank you, King of Heaven's Evolution, for the cultivation." Zhao Xing bowed respectfully.

"Don't thank me," the King of Heaven's Evolution smiled. "It's just giving you an opportunity; whether you can practice it is another matter."

"If you can practice it, there will be tasks to hand over to you afterward."

"Rights and obligations are equal. If you are given special treatment, you will have extra tasks after entering the Ancient Dragon Court."

"Of course, the premise is that you must practice it within ten years. If you can't, the rest doesn't need to be discussed."

Zhao Xing nodded. The Ancient Dragon Court, as a great treasure land, had only been developed by the Great Zhou to the tip of the iceberg so far.

After all, this was a heavy place in the era of spiritual energy, and the Great Zhou must have mastered some unknown secrets.

Of course, this point had little attraction for Zhao Xing; he estimated that the Great Zhou didn't know as much as he did.

The most important thing was to practice the "Evolution God Decision"!

"We are here," the King of Heaven's Evolution looked up slightly.

Zhao Xing looked and found that he and the King of Heaven's Evolution had walked into a palace unconsciously.

The internal pillars of the palace were incomparably tall, as if they supported heaven and earth.

Countless stars twinkled in the sky; it was completely a star palace!

When Zhao Xing looked at those stars, he felt his life soul being attracted involuntarily, starting to rotate, feeling a slight dizziness.

The King of Heaven's Evolution waved his hand, and a layer of golden mist appeared on his head, covering the stars: "You haven't practiced yet, so you cannot look directly at the Life Soul Star Map."

"Yes." Zhao Xing listened obediently.

The King of Heaven's Evolution said: "Cultivating the Evolution God Decision is very difficult. Even I am only at the second level, and I practiced it when I was Third Rank."

"If you can practice the first level within ten years, you are successful."

"It is best to practice the seven souls first, then the soul. It is relatively difficult for a Fifth Rank Pure Origin Realm to practice the first level of the Evolution God Decision."

Zhao Xing pondered: "Is the chance of a Fifth Rank practicing it very small?"

The King of Heaven's Evolution smiled: "The last one to practice the first level at the Fifth Rank was Liu Tianning."

"Huh? Teacher also went to the Ancient Dragon Court?" Zhao Xing was stunned. How come he had never heard of it?

"Hmm," the King of Heaven's Evolution nodded. "He went, but no one knows. This is a top-secret file, but you are now qualified to know some."

"The Floating Vine your teacher gave you was brought out from the Dragon Court, and it was only after my approval that it could be given to you."

"However, he cannot talk about these things, and there is no record of him entering the Dragon Court on the surface."

So that's how it was... Zhao Xing wondered how Liu Tianning had so many Seventh-Rank divine trees at the Fifth Rank.

So he had also been to the Dragon Court.

There were many areas in the Dragon Court that had 'spiritual energy.'

Even if Liu Tianning didn't know the 'Mysterious Yellow Analysis Origin Technique,' being in a spiritual energy area would have many benefits, such as making plants grow quickly.

It's just that the Mysterious Yellow Analysis Origin Technique had higher efficiency in using spiritual energy and could improve Pure Origin soil.

"This time, a total of thirty-eight people were selected. In the Heavenly Secret Pavilion's prediction, only five can practice the first level within ten years."

"Of course, if they can't practice it, they will be arranged to practice other top-tier secret techniques in the middle."

The King of Heaven's Evolution said: "Before the Ancient Dragon Court opens, you thirty-eight people will meet each other to avoid conflicts after entering, and also to avoid wasting your energy on the same goal."

The King of Heaven's Evolution grabbed Zhao Xing's shoulder, and one step crossed, the ground seemed to flow backward.

The next moment, Zhao Xing found himself in the sky.

Under his feet was a circular square, floating in the sky according to a certain trajectory.

It was about the size of a football field, and four walls were placed around the square.

Zhao Xing was not unfamiliar with this kind of wall, as he had seen similar things at the Lihuo Dao Academy.

"A secret technique wall, used for testing; you can use it to correct your mistakes and know your cultivation progress."

"The other three are preaching murals, which contain the first three levels of the Evolution God Decision."

"The first mural, named the God Soul Seven-Star Map: contains two parts, soul refining and soul refining. Completely understanding the God Soul Seven-Star Map is considered practicing the first level."

"The second mural, named the Life Soul Star Cloud Map: mainly practices the Life Soul, containing various Life Soul attack and defense methods."

"The third wall has no paintings, only two characters," the King of Heaven's Evolution said. "No one can fully understand the third level; only those two characters are translated as 'Evolution God'."

"This wall is a copy, not the original. The original is a stone tablet stored in the palace, but after understanding the second level, going to watch the artistic conception of these two characters also has some benefits."

The King of Heaven's Evolution waved his hand, and the third wall shrank into the ground.

This was originally his cultivation place; now Zhao Xing hadn't even reached the second level, so it was naturally not suitable for watching.

Zhao Xing said: "The first two levels are both top-tier methods; is this third level the ultimate method?"

The King of Heaven's Evolution laughed: "I just said, no one has fully understood it, so no one is sure if it is the ultimate method."

Zhao Xing nodded. He vaguely felt that he should know the origin of the Evolution God Tablet.

But before entering the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, he had sealed his previous life's memories.

Just kidding, this is the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, and the King of Heaven's Evolution is an 【Imperial Official】. If he was not careful, he would see through his thoughts.

If he didn't seal it into the memory palace with the Dream Storage Method, wouldn't he be giving it away for nothing?

This vague sense of familiarity was triggering Zhao Xing's memory palace mechanism, reminding him to review it after leaving.

The King of Heaven's Evolution pointed to the sky again: "This place of enlightenment has many advanced mechanisms built by the Heavenly Craft Palace to assist in comprehension."

"When you officially come to practice, I will teach you how to use them. Now let's go to the next place."

"Yes."

After saying that, the King of Heaven's Evolution grabbed Zhao Xing's shoulder and flew up.

It was still so fast that the surrounding scene could not be seen clearly, only feeling a blur around him.

When he landed again, Zhao Xing found that he had come to a bedroom.

There were many Earth Mirrors, compasses, life star instruments, tortoise shells, Go boards, divination clothes, sundials, star boots... even the layout in the room contained heavenly secrets.

The ceiling was in the shape of the Eight Trigrams.

A classic residence for fate-type professionals.

A statue of the treasure-seeking beast Panhu was placed at the head of the bed (Panhu is a legendary divine beast that can seek treasures, looking like a dog, fat, but short).

Two almanacs were hanging on the wall, one physical and one illusory.

When Zhao Xing saw these two almanacs, he couldn't help but be amazed.

Because this was a high-level version of the almanac, not only with evil-warding effects but also with auspicious-seeking functions.

In addition, that illusory almanac also had a great background.

"Is this the Yin version of the almanac?" Zhao Xing asked curiously.

"Correct." The King of Heaven's Evolution nodded. It was not strange for Zhao Xing, as an agricultural official, to recognize this.

"The complete version of the almanac is Yin and Yang; the Yin-Yang calendar is applicable to the Yang world and the Yin world."

"The time of the Yin world is completely different from the Yang world. You are an agricultural official, and one will be issued to you in the future, but you have to wait until you become a Third Rank official."

Third Rank Primordial Soul Realm can have the soul leave the body and travel in the Yin world.

Hearing the King of Heaven's Evolution say this, it meant that bringing him here was to give him something.

"The special treatment you obtained includes the following resources."

"First is the resources for practicing the Evolution God Decision, including the soul refining and soul refining required for the first level, but you need to come to the Heavenly Secret Palace to practice, provided in batches."

"The first level has a total of seven stages. Only when you reach a certain stage will you be provided with the cultivation resources for the next stage. If you can't, it means you can't practice it, and you will be given another treatment plan."

Zhao Xing nodded. If he couldn't practice it, the court wouldn't waste resources to pile it up.

"Secondly, it is your safety issue."

"You have two choices. First, resign from all positions now. I will let you become a 【Waiting-Transfer Official】 for ten years. For these ten years, you will stay in the Military World Heavenly Secret Palace to practice, waiting for the Ancient Dragon Court to open."

Zhao Xing shook his head after hearing this.

The first choice seriously affected his planning for the future.

Staying in the Heavenly Secret Pavilion for ten years of cultivation belonged to the 'full hidden' state; he would miss many things.

Not to mention anything else, don't even think about entering the Great Dream Academy for these ten years. Staying under the eyes of the imperial official to enter the Great Dream Academy? One hundred percent exposure.

The silly bird would probably think he was dead.

In addition, the Millennium Marquis Change, the Prince of Liang's rebellion, Old Liu's mission, and the two schools of academies would all be delayed.

In short, he could not accept this kind of full-closed training.

He must obtain the right to enter and exit freely.

The King of Heaven's Evolution also understood that Zhao Xing was unlikely to accept this choice.

So he continued: "The second choice, you can come to practice whenever you want, but in terms of safety, it is not as perfect as the first one."

"With the strength you have shown, if someone wants to kill you, they will definitely send out a Third Rank."

"If you encounter danger outside, I can guarantee that when you call for help, you will definitely get the best rescue."

"But we cannot send a Third Rank, or even a Second Rank expert to protect you for twelve hours. You must understand the difference."

"This official understands." Zhao Xing nodded.

He is a Fifth Rank official, and a Third Rank or even Second Rank expert is protecting him personally?

This is neither in accordance with the rules, nor is it cost-effective from the perspective of resource allocation.

In essence, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion giving Zhao Xing special treatment is only for the 【Ancient Dragon Court】 trip.

If it is said that a Third Rank's ten years of time must be sacrificed, wouldn't it be better to give this quota to a Third Rank expert to enter?

The King of Heaven's Evolution is telling him that if he chooses the second one, he must take some risks.

The King of Heaven's Evolution continued: "Of course, there is no reason for a thousand days of guarding against thieves. If you choose the second one, I will plan a bait action. At that time, I need your clones to cooperate to see who is plotting against you."

"Yes, this official will definitely cooperate," Zhao Xing said.

Without the King of Heaven's Evolution, he was planning to continue his own plan anyway. Now with the King of Heaven's Evolution, there was an extra layer of guarantee in the planning.

"Alright, let's talk about these later. Let's get you familiar with the rest first."

The King of Heaven's Evolution waved his hand, and a box carved with purple dragon patterns appeared in front of Zhao Xing.

"Remember the current room layout. This is the emergency shelter of my Heavenly Secret Palace."

"You have a good understanding of the way of divination, so I won't introduce them one by one, just talk about a few key ones."

The King of Heaven's Evolution knew that Zhao Xing knew divination spells.

On the barbarian pacification battlefield and the Ten Suns Cave Heaven, Zhao Xing cut so many turtles, which was not a secret.

The King of Heaven's Evolution also knew that Zhao Xing knew at least mid-level deduction methods.

This saved him the effort of re-teaching.

"Open the box."

"Yes."

Zhao Xing opened the box and saw many things inside.

The King of Heaven's Evolution waved his hand, and a token and a map floated up, appearing in front of Zhao Xing.

The token had the characters 'Heaven Evolution' on it, and the map was written with "Heavenly Secret Pavilion's Shelters in Pinghai Prefecture and East Sea Islands."

"This is my token, the level is very high."

"With this token, you can freely enter and exit the Star Palace, and it is a secret entry."

"My Heaven Evolution Token can also open Pinghai Prefecture and most of the emergency shelters in the East Sea."

Zhao Xing was surprised to hear this; he didn't expect to be given the map of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion's safe house.

This is a good thing!

"If you encounter danger, hiding in any one of them is enough to drag it out until rescue arrives."

"Memorize the map, and burn it after memorizing it."

"Yes."

Zhao Xing spent a quarter of an hour memorizing the map and put the token away.

There are also many entrances to come here, not just in Chongming Prefecture.

The map recorded a total of over a thousand entrances in Pinghai Prefecture.

Every entrance can enter the Star Palace.

Secondly, the Heavenly Secret Safe House.

It is mainly concentrated in the east of Pinghai Prefecture, including the islands of the East Sea, and the south of Pinghai Prefecture, the prefecture cities near various war zones.

Especially in the East Sea, many inconspicuous islands have safe houses built by top-tier arrays. As long as you can escape into them, the safety will be greatly increased, and it will also provide sufficient time for rescue.

"Reporting to the King of Heaven's Evolution, I have memorized it." Zhao Xing said.

The King of Heaven's Evolution nodded and waved his hand again, taking out a few things from the box.

"Seventh-Rank high-level Heavenly Secret Law Clothing. It is underwear, which does not hinder you from wearing other armor. The main function is to shield the luck on your body."

"After wearing it, others cannot see your luck, nor can they track you by luck."

"However, this is temporarily lent to you; you must return it after ten years."

"Yes." Zhao Xing took the bright yellow underwear, embroidered with the Nine Flags logo.

There are four patterns on the Heavenly Secret Law Clothing, namely Sun, Moon, Turtle, and Snake.

Imperial officials usually use these four patterns as signs.

Zhao Xing is not an imperial official, so this law clothing is only temporarily lent.

The Seventh-Rank Heavenly Secret Law Clothing is mainly used to defend against foreign enemies.

Because apart from imperial officials, few people in the Great Zhou can use 'luck' to track enemies.

The Seventh-Rank high-level evil-warding almanac, the King of Heaven's Evolution did not explain much, because Zhao Xing was not unfamiliar with it.

"Seventh-Rank top-tier Ink-Guard Jade Pendant. After you wear it, you can actively activate it to form a mobile small barrier."

"It can block all attacks of the Third Rank Primordial Soul Realm except 'soul-type' means, lasting for two quarters of an hour."

Zhao Xing carefully hung the Ink-Guard Jade Pendant around his neck.

This thing is very precious. It is rumored that the materials for making the Ink-Guard Jade Pendant are gone, so every piece is counted.

"Seventh-Rank low-level Soul-Suppressing Bell." The King of Heaven's Evolution took another item from the box, which was a bell.

"It mainly prevents you from being bewitched, interfered with by illusions, and prevents you from going into qi deviation. It cannot block life soul attack means."

"However, the life soul attack means in the world are few and far between. Even for the Third Rank Primordial Soul Realm, having the life soul leave the body to attack directly is a dangerous thing."

"Life soul living in the womb, repelling foreign souls, this is the best layer of protection. The Soul-Suppressing Bell mainly prevents you from being tempted and controlled by soul-bewitching."

"Your life soul has reached the Fourth Rank. If a Third Rank primordial soul leaves the body and wants to possess you, it is not certain who will die."

"If you practice the Evolution God Decision and the life soul reaches Fourth Rank perfection, if a Third Rank primordial soul wants to possess you, the one who dies will be him."

Zhao Xing bowed and put the Soul-Suppressing Bell on his body. During this process, the bell did not make the slightest sound.

The life soul of the Primordial Soul Realm is powerful, but it refers to the situation where the life soul does not leave the body.

If it leaves the body, without the protection of the physical body, it is relatively fragile.

Attacking others' life souls with one's own life soul is a dangerous thing, unless the gap is too large, or one has practiced top-tier methods.

Otherwise, it is usually soul-bewitching, or attacking through media, or dreaming, inducing brainwashing, etc.

Zhao Xing is about to practice the Evolution God Decision, combined with the Soul-Suppressing Bell, which is just right.

There are also items such as compasses and star disks in the box, which are standard equipment in the safe house, but the King of Heaven's Evolution did not introduce them much.

Those are safe houses, supplemented for imperial officials. Obviously, if Zhao Xing enters the safe house, he will not use these things much. What he can use are these few items.

"Thank you, King of Heaven's Evolution."

The King of Heaven's Evolution nodded and then brought Zhao Xing back to the Star Palace.

"If you start to practice the Evolution God Decision, you can apply to me for the first stage of resources."

"This official intends to go out and deal with things on hand first," Zhao Xing said.

"Good, take the Heaven Evolution Token and you can return the same way."

"This official takes his leave."

…………

Zhao Xing came out of the True Lord Wu Cheng Hall of the Chongming Prefecture Temple again.

After coming out of the temple, he came to the post house to rest.

In the dream.

Zhao Xing began to review the experience just now.

"Evolution God Decision? It is actually the Evolution God Decision, this is the ultimate method of the soul path, how could it be judged as a top-tier method?"

"The Evolution God Tablet is an object from outside the sky, not something from the Mysterious Yellow World at all. So Old Liu practiced this secret technique; no wonder he didn't go completely crazy until his old age."

"Practicing Myriad Law Clones requires a matching ultimate soul method to fully go down," Zhao Xing looked at the images he experienced today.

The Myriad Law Straw Men can be practiced to the ultimate level, but controlling countless clones puts a considerable burden on the life soul.

It requires an ultimate soul method to support it.

If Zhao Xing practices the Myriad Law Clones to top-tier perfection, he will pause afterward and find the ultimate soul method first, otherwise, if the soul splits infinitely, he will go crazy sooner or later.

"In the previous life, Liu Tianning didn't understand the Evolution God Tablet? He didn't understand the third level, only the second level of the Evolution God Decision. No wonder he went into qi deviation when practicing the ultimate level straw man method..."

"He looks like this now; I guess the progress of the straw man method has gone ahead of the progress of the Evolution God Decision," Zhao Xing speculated.

"Remind Old Liu another day. Now I will also practice the Evolution God Decision; reminding him will be convincing."

Zhao Xing continued to look, and soon saw the safe house and the scene of the King of Heaven's Evolution bestowing treasures.

"The King of Heaven's Evolution gave me four treasures: Ink-Guard Jade Pendant, Heavenly Secret Law Clothing, Soul-Suppressing Bell, and Evil-Warding Almanac."

"The other three are quite good, but this Soul-Suppressing Bell is a bit worse."

From the perspective of the King of Heaven's Evolution, the protection measures he has taken for himself are already very high.

With these preventive measures, if someone wants to kill him, a Third Rank will have to pay with their life, because someone will come to rescue soon.

With these configurations, he can hold on for a long time.

However, from Zhao Xing's perspective, once the Prince of Liang rebels, high-rankers will be everywhere, and middle-rankers will be worse than dogs.

Just these things, I'm afraid it's still not safe.

"Not yet at the point of sleeping soundly. Once I encounter an expert who is good at soul attacks, the Soul-Suppressing Bell won't be able to block it for long," Zhao Xing pondered.

"Plans can't keep up with changes. It is now the beginning of autumn in the 30th year of Jingxin. I have to find a way to transfer back to the inland prefecture and can no longer stay in the East Sea."

"The best way is to shrink beside the old witch. Yes, I should transfer back to Bixian County."

Staying in the East Sea, he might still encounter things like the assassination of General Golden Throat.

But in ten years, this kind of thing has never happened on land.

Zhao Xing began to readjust his future plans.

"The original plan was that the Prince of Liang would rebel in the 35th year of Jingxin. I don't know if it will be advanced now. Maybe it will, maybe it won't."

"I will stay in Bixian County, Chongming Prefecture, and my true self will enter the Heavenly Secret Palace to practice top-tier soul secret techniques."

"Clones will go to the Profound Heaven Academy and Kunyuan Academy to learn top-tier spells of Heaven-Time and Earth-Profit."

"As for the training tasks Old Liu gave me, they can all be put aside for now," Zhao Xing thought.

The expansion of Pure Origin soil and the cultivation of plant troops take too long. He doesn't have much pressure to complete the first stage, but the second stage is relatively time-consuming.

Zhao Xing decided to postpone the cultivation of the self-school until after the Prince of Liang's rebellion, and first comprehend the top-tier methods of the Heaven-Time and Earth-Profit schools.

These two schools of spells are also the best in dealing with turmoil.

"It's just that I don't know if the Profound Heaven Academy and Kunyuan Academy will agree. Sending clones, it feels like the self-school is going to smash the field."

"Contact them first. If they don't agree, I can only spend some effort, let the true self take the exam for a scripture-governing doctor, leave after learning the spells, and send clones to deal with it."

"Next is..."

After confirming the plans for the next five to ten years in his dream, Zhao Xing opened his eyes.

He intended to find the Prefect and Fan Hongyi of Chongming Prefecture, and then find Wang Xuan, the supervisor of the Agricultural Supervision, to report on his duties and discuss the matter of transferring back to Bixian County.

At this moment, the post house manager, Xiao Ming, a Fifth Rank official, suddenly received an official document.

It flew directly out of the statue's incense burner and flew to his desk. As soon as it came, it flew directly to the top of the pile.

The letter was emitting bursts of yellow light, sealing the surrounding official documents.

Xiao Ming's eyelids jumped. This letter had a great background, not to mention cutting in line, it also locked other letters, and the priority was simply full.

He didn't dare to neglect and respectfully opened this official document.

【Notice to Xiao Ming, Manager of the East Dragon Post House in Chongming Prefecture:】

【Upon seeing this document, immediately notify the resident official of the post house and Zhao Xing, Left Division Supervisor of the Chongming Prefecture Twin Dragon Horse Supervision. Distinguished guests will visit on the 10th day of the 8th month of the 30th year of Jingxin, at the first quarter of the You hour.】

Attached to the back of the letter were two identity stickers.

Xiao Ming opened it and was almost scared to pee.

The two identity stickers were as follows:

【Meng Kun, Duke of Peishui, Grand Agricultural Official of the Spirit Ruins Blessed Land in Daoyuan Prefecture, concurrently Vice Dean of the Kunyuan Academy, concurrently Left Manager of the Earth-Profit of the Canghai Cave Heaven, concurrently Supervisor of the Taiyin World Yangshan Agricultural Supervision and Pinghuai Supervision.】

【Gu Zhangqing, Marquis of Yuanxin, Grand Master of the Spirit Ruins Blessed Land in Daoyuan Prefecture, concurrently Scripture-Governing Doctor of the Kunyuan Academy, Right Manager of the Earth-Profit of the Canghai Cave Heaven, concurrently Taiyin World Songming Mountain Agricultural Supervision and Registering Field Order.】

Xiao Ming was more and more shocked as he looked. If these identity stickers were not a joke, they were all Third Rank high officials! And two came at once?

What was Zhao Xing's background? Actually, two Third Rank officials wanted to visit him specially?

Note, this is not asking Zhao Xing to see his superiors, but the superiors coming to see Zhao Xing.

Xiao Ming didn't dare to neglect and immediately prepared to find Zhao Xing. If the big officials came and Zhao Xing was out, he would have messed up the errand.

However, before he walked out of the post house, he saw another official document sprayed out of the statue's incense burner.

Also high priority, this official document was more overbearing, flashing with thunder, directly excluding other official documents from the desk.

"Huh? Another one." Xiao Ming was stunned. His post house manager was a leisurely job. What was going on today?

So he returned and opened this official document.

【Notice to Xiao Ming, Manager of the East Dragon Post House in Chongming Prefecture:】

【Upon seeing this document, immediately notify the resident official of the post house and Zhao Xing, Left Division Supervisor of the Chongming Prefecture Twin Dragon Horse Supervision. Distinguished guests will visit on the 10th day of the 8th month of the 30th year of Jingxin, at the first quarter of the You hour.】

Attached to the back were also two identity stickers.

Xiao Ming took one look, and his scalp immediately went numb.

The two identity tags behind were no less significant than the previous one, for these were the identity tags of Geng Shouchang and Heng Yuan.

As luck would have it, the time stated on both official documents was exactly one quarter past the Hour of the Rooster.

Xiao Ming checked the time, shot up with a 'whoosh', and hurriedly grabbed the clerk responsible for lodging registrations in the public office.

"Has Zhao Xing, Left Director of the Twin Dragon Horse Inspectorate, checked into my Donglong Post House?"

"My lord, I must check; there are too many people staying here recently." The clerk did not know why Xiao Ming was so agitated, assuming the man had committed a crime.

"Quick, check quickly!" Xiao Ming urged.

"A-all right." The clerk quickly went to search the document records.

Just at this moment, a burst of heavy footsteps and the sound of clashing armor came from outside the door.

"Where is the Manager of the Donglong Post House? This official is the Marquis of Dragon Martial, 'Bai Zhengyang'. Come out and meet me at once!"

The voice was full of vigor, instantly spreading throughout the post house manager's office.

Xiao Ming was stunned. The Azure Dragon Army? A Marquis?

"Today is truly cursed. Don't tell me this one is also here to find Zhao Xing," Xiao Ming muttered to himself, walking out with quick steps.
