The true self was already outside this range, waiting for the Marquis Transformation to happen before coming over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"? Ten Thousand Dharma Grass-Man, I actually just distinguished it?\" The girl looked at Zhao Xing curiously. \"Are you the Shangluo Dean of this generation of the Central State Dynasty?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, the Ten Thousand Dharma clones you practice seem a bit different. Let me take a good look.\" The girl leaned close to Zhao Xing, sniffed at Zhao Xing's neck, pulled Zhao Xing's ears and hair, and then waved her hand, letting Zhao Xing adjust, head up and feet down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pair of soft little hands kept pinching, as if a master was pinching bones for a mortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing could smell the fragrance on her, very comfortable, very fresh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfft~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl suddenly took off the clothes of Zhao Xing's clone, and one hand inserted into Zhao Xing's lower abdomen, and then went down to dig. \"Hey, don't go too far,\" Zhao Xing hummed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can talk,\" the girl pulled her hand out, smiling like a flower. \"I thought you practiced the Ten Thousand Dharma Grass-Man and became a mute.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Flower Fairy, how could you come here?\" Zhao Xing\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really do know me.\" A flash of curiosity crossed the Flower Immortal’s eyes. \"Can you tell me how you knew?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I know you. Want to know? One question for one question, how about it?\" Zhao Xing asked. The Flower Immortal was relatively normal among that group of lunatics, so it wasn't impossible to chat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were anyone else, Zhao Xing would have already detonated his clone and run away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine.\" The Flower Immortal nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me answer your first question.\" Zhao Xing said calmly, \"The Central Province dynasty at this time is far more powerful than you imagine. Through divination and historical records, we have discovered the traces you left behind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\" The Flower Immortal stared at Zhao Xing suspiciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't believe me? I even know what flowers you’ve planted.\" Master Zhao feigned profoundness and began to put on airs. \"One of them is the Nether Flower, plucked from the Yin Realm; it can repair defects in a yin soul, but it is also highly toxic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, you really know?\" The Flower Immortal’s eyes widened immediately. She was also an Agriculturalist, and a Pure Origin Space had been born within her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely because of this that she wasn't afraid of anyone surrounding her, as she also knew the top-tier technique [Divine Wood Leap].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I really do know. That counts as the second question.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That doesn't count.\" The Flower Immortal was a bit angry. \"You are taking advantage of me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, \"Flower Immortal, it is my turn to ask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go ahead and ask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the Marquis Change of the Three Mountains here your doing?\" Zhao Xing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" The Flower Immortal nodded, looking somewhat smug. \"It was supposed to emerge 140 years from now. Hehe, you definitely haven't seen it; the Profound Heaven Divine Sect lineage of the Central Province doesn't have this kind of technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been outplayed by Zhao Xing and really wanted to regain some face, so she deliberately didn't say the name of the technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to bait Zhao Xing into asking, so that he would use up his second question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just a top-tier Three Lights Mountain-Sealing Technique.\" Zhao Xing stared at the Flower Immortal’s expression and spoke slowly. \"Using the waters of the East Sea, supplemented by a magic array to condense the true intent of the Three Lights Divine Water, sealing the mountain with water to delay the occurrence of the Marquis Change...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One look at her expression, and Zhao Xing knew he had guessed correctly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seen controllable methods for Marquis Changes in the Myriad Transformation Cave Heaven before; by guessing and deducing, it was easy to confirm his hypothesis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it wasn't that my divination back then had a large margin of error—although there was an error, it wasn't as outrageous as a hundred years. It was suppressed by someone... If it is her, and she has inextricable ties to the Profound Heaven Divine Sect, then it makes sense that this place is a stronghold of the Profound Heaven Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the Blood Spirit Venerable perhaps just an agent? Or did they just happen to do this while they were at it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing did not ask this question. Without waiting for the Flower Immortal to be surprised, he quickly asked: \"Has there been any abnormal fluctuation of spiritual energy in the small world where you reside? I mean the large-scale kind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was surprise in the Flower Immortal’s eyes again: \"How do you even know about this... Indeed, the spiritual energy there has already shown abnormal fluctuations, and the range is quite large.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing realized in his heart: \"So that’s how it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiritual energy tides!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They have already started appearing from certain small worlds!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The entire Profound Yellow Great World can be compared to a jellyfish that constantly contracts and expands, surviving in the ocean of the universe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Small worlds are existences attached outside its boundary walls.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The small-scale spiritual energy recovery that accompanies the spiritual energy tide goes from the outside in, so the ones that first come into contact with the spiritual energy tide are the small worlds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The nineteen provinces occupied by the Great Zhou, known as the Central Province, are located at the center of the Profound Yellow World during the spiritual energy tide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this way, all the tides eventually converge into the low-lying basin of the Central Province. In the later stages of the spiritual energy tide, the Great Zhou will be the biggest beneficiary. But in the early stages, the first to benefit are those small worlds with weaker boundary walls.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing recalled the Great Zhou Heaven Theory he had written and instantly understood many things, also matching up some plot points from his previous life regarding why the Central Province occupied by the Great Zhou was a \"low-lying basin\" in terms of spiritual energy levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was also very simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The successive dynasty ascensions in ancient times took away a lot of the Central Province's matter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This caused it to be a \"low-lying basin\" in terms of spiritual energy dimensions, and also the final convergence point for the tides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are thinking...\" The Flower Immortal wanted to ask, but she covered her mouth again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn't let this guy take advantage of her again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing smiled lightly: \"The Immortal should think carefully before asking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Flower Immortal’s eyes rolled around, and she asked a very inexplicable question: \"Why don't you come with me? If you take an oath to join us, I can take you back and tell you a big secret—the kind you would definitely be interested in!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing shook his head with a smile: \"Not interested. You all could join the Great Zhou instead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can also tell you a big secret, and the Hall Master will be very interested.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let's continue asking. It's my turn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not playing anymore!\" The Flower Immortal was huffy; she decided not to talk to Zhao Xing anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing knew them very well, but she knew nothing about this person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she continued to trade questions, she would suffer a huge loss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not talking to you anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait!\" Zhao Xing called out to the Flower Immortal who was turning to leave. \"Give my regards to the Hall Master. If he is interested in what I said, please send a clone to find me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Zhao Xing, the Marquis of Divine Might of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I will leave a clone on the shores of the East Sea, waiting at any time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To show my sincerity, I will leave this Marquis Change to you, Immortal. You can rest assured and finish utilizing this Marquis Change before leaving. I guarantee no one will interfere with your harvest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, Zhao Xing’s clones simultaneously utilized the \"Inch of Heaven\" technique to retreat at that very moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Flower Immortal looked at the faint clouds and mist dissipating around her, and couldn't help but feel surprised: \"What kind of magic is this? Cloud magic? To be so exquisite.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, then muttered: \"What do you mean by 'leave it to me'? We were the ones who discovered it first... But he was actually able to know so much? It seems I must go back early this time and tell the Hall Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Zhao Xing left, he quickly landed on Purple Firmament Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't expect to run into the Celestial Immortal Clan in the East Sea.\" Zhao Xing recalled. \"During the Wu Di era, there was a group of 'Immortals' who claimed to be from the Celestial Realm, appearing alongside the spiritual energy tides.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They had inextricable ties to the sect world, but did not belong to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Immortal Clan had their own goals; they neither helped the Great Zhou nor the Great Zhou’s enemies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They acted strangely; sometimes they would conflict with the Great Zhou, sometimes with the Great Zhou’s enemies, and sometimes they would even have internal strife.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then they suddenly disappeared at the end of the Wu Di era. The players at the time had no ability to explore this plot at all,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"and had no idea what they were after.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They were called a group of neutral lunatics.\" Zhao Xing recalled the evaluation of the Celestial Immortal Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called Celestial Realm was just the name of a small world, and the Immortal Clan was self-proclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The faction ruling the Celestial Realm is called the Qi Tian Hall. The Hall Master, Qi Tian, claims to be an 'Upper Immortal,' and the Deputy Hall Master is the Saint Immortal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They also have existences among them who have mastered fate magic, known as Fate Immortals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I was raising the mountain, I named it Qi Tian Mountain, and built a Qi Tian Hall on it. If I break through to the First Rank realm, Qi Tian Mountain will also rise with the tide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I took this name deliberately. Once I break through, I can fish out a Fate Immortal to meet me through causality, because there is also a Qi Tian Spirit Mountain in the Celestial Realm. As long as I surpass that mountain, it will definitely attract the curiosity of the Fate Immortal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't expect the Fate Immortal not to emerge, but instead waited for the Flower Immortal who raises flowers in the East Sea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing wanted to plan for ascension, so naturally, he had to minimize his enemies and maximize his friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, planning to ascend during the Wu Di era was difficult; every resource and every faction had to be contested!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a doubt, the Qi Tian Immortal Clan, rated by players as a neutral faction, was an object Zhao Xing was trying to win over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Celestial Realm received the spiritual energy tide recovery the earliest, all the immortals in the Qi Tian Hall started at the Fate Palace realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this faction could be won over by him, it would definitely be beneficial for achieving his ascension goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is now the 77th year of Yongzhi. Yongzhi lasted a total of 98 years. In another 21 years, Emperor Jing will pass away, and we will enter the Wu Di era.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Celestial Immortal Clan appeared on a large scale a hundred years after the Wuyou era and became known to the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The outer region of the East Sea, that Marquis Change location, is not Great Zhou territory. As a stronghold of the Profound Heaven Sect, it actually had a connection to the people of the Qi Tian Hall.\" Zhao Xing pondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Qi Tian Hall recruits experts from all professions. The Flower Immortal is an Agriculturalist; judging by her tone, did she originally come from the Profound Heaven Divine Sect?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, one must be cautious when dealing with this group of lunatics. I don't know if the Qi Tian Hall Master has awakened yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As far as he knew, there weren't many normal people in the Qi Tian Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This group has many secrets, and I don't know how that Hall Master attracts so many experts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To recruit experts, one needs a foundation. How does a small world like the Qi Tian Hall support so many experts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The number is not small. What exactly is the big secret the Flower Immortal mentioned? Is it related to the spiritual energy tides, or is it related to ascension?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The spiritual energy tides misled Emperor Wu; could they also have misled the old antiques of the sect world?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a while, Zhao Xing opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The lead has been left; there will be an opportunity to make contact sooner or later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting on Purple Firmament Island for a month or so, Zhao Xing closely monitored the movements in the outer sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out that no abnormal information had been reported by the imperial court. Clearly, that millennium Marquis Change was controllable and did not cause any waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing sent a straw man to check it out. The three mountains were already gone, and there were several broken mountain fragments on the seabed, falling in disarray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep on the seabed, there was also a large depression, looking like a dirt pit left behind after something planted there had been transplanted away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exploring for a while, Zhao Xing left the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The West Pole Glacier, deep within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unremarkable ice island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hoo~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Flower Immortal’s figure emerged from a tree in a valley on the ice island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Plop~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then jumped into a hot spring nearby that was emitting heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sinking, sinking all the way, she quickly passed through ten thousand meters of thick ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She drilled downward along a passage that looked like ice crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the end, where she abruptly disappeared, along with the ice crystal passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Celestial Realm, a pure white vortex was born in the sky. It quickly arched up like a mouth and spat out a burst of cold air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A seven-colored figure flew out from the cold air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Swish~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two figures, one blue and one white, rushed into the sky quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hua Hua, you're back~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up!

The Flower Immortal flew directly to a black and white square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She drifted into the palace, where a black and white Daoist robe was hanging on a huge turtle shell, slowly swaying with the surrounding space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Fate Immortal, wake up, stop sleeping!\" The Flower Immortal blew out a puff of fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Flower, what is the matter?\" A head poked out from inside the black and white Daoist robe. His face was withered and thin, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, and he looked listless, as if he hadn't woken up yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I encountered something strange while I was out this time.\" The Flower Immortal then recounted her trip to the East Sea and meeting Zhao Xing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end, she concluded: \"It must have been caused by that bastard Rain Immortal when he went out last time, or else the Travel Immortal was flirting everywhere and leaked the heavenly secrets!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be anxious, let me cast a hexagram.\" The Fate Immortal said, calm and composed. He extended his fingers, and his fingernails suddenly grew long and became incomparably sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A teeth-gritting crunching sound immediately came from the turtle shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Water-Heaven Need, Top Six: An uninvited guest arrives; respect him, and the end will be auspicious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does that mean?\" The Flower Immortal asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know.\" The Fate Immortal shook his head. \"I can only be sure that this person named Zhao Xing has no ill intentions. As long as you don't provoke him, it will ultimately be a good thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for why he knows, and who leaked the information, I am not clear. Strange, how can such a thing happen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" The Flower Immortal asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strange, strange, one moment yin, one moment yang, and someone can exist between life and death? Hmm? What is going on? Where did this line of causality come from? Are my eyes playing tricks on me?\" The Fate Immortal muttered to himself, constantly writing and drawing on it. The Flower Immortal was even more confused by what he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Zhao Xing went ashore, he left a clone in Chongming Prefecture and then stored the treasure materials in the Star Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His main body headed straight for Daoyuan Continent to find Li Boqian. \"Li Boqian doesn't have many years left to live; I must hurry and learn his 'Yuan Seal'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lifespan limits of people like Xuanyuan Qingtian, Li Boqian, and Emperor Jing were almost common knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xuanyuan Qingtian will leave in the 90th year of Yongzhi, Li Boqian will leave in the 96th year of Yongzhi, and Emperor Jing will leave in the 98th year of Yongzhi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Boqian has less than twenty years of life left.\" Zhao Xing calculated. \"Once he transforms into a Yin Spirit body, he will become very busy. The handover of power in the Yin Realm between him and True Person Tianyang will keep him extremely busy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After becoming a Yin Spirit body, teaching will also become less convenient.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the four basic secret techniques for performing Yuan Seal, Zhao Xing still hadn't learned the \"Five New Divine Talismans\" and the \"Burning Heaven Yuan-Locking Array.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I must strive to learn the four basic secret techniques within twenty years and practice the top-tier techniques of Heavenly Timing and Earthly Advantage to perfection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At the same time, I must also start practicing the 'Soldier-Using Divine Decision,' which involves the four techniques of the Self: Bending, Condensing, Strengthening, and Analyzing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unifying the three sects is truly not easy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Split!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing split off two main soul clones, while his main body headed to the Spirit Void Blessed Land of the Kunyuan Academy to continue raising the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two clones, one headed to the Profound Heaven Academy and one to the Shangluo Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your foundation in talismans is too poor.\" Li Boqian looked at Zhao Xing drawing talismans and couldn't help but laugh: \"It looks like ghost scribbles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing’s face darkened. Why are you so happy that I’m learning slowly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have invited a talisman teacher for you; learn the basics from him first.\" Li Boqian said, \"You have met this person before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You Xuanfeng?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Correct, it is him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...\" Zhao Xing was stunned. \"Is it appropriate? I bombarded him with the Fire Source Divine Cannon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Boqian said: \"What is inappropriate about it? He has no grudge against Liu Tianning, let alone you. When he came to stop you all back then, it was just because he wanted peace in the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I still have some matters to handle. The competition between the three sects has reached a critical stage; I must go and call Wang Tianzhi out from the special training site.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, if you say it’s okay, then it’s okay. I have no problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing had no objections; learning from anyone was still learning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found it truly strenuous to learn Li Boqian’s \"Five New Divine Talismans\" directly, because Li Boqian combined his own insights into the Dao with the way of talismans and the way of the Agriculturalist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a beginner, it was indeed very strenuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the way of arrays, you know people yourself, so I won't call anyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing nodded. He could find a Mechanist easily; with the Fuming Furnace placed there, his favors would never run out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention a small matter like teaching the basics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to learn too deeply, just up to the advanced level.

The root of exerting power lay in the techniques of the Agriculturalist path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On June 15th, in the 77th year of Yongzhi, You Xuanfeng of the Divine Talisman Academy arrived at the Profound Heaven Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhao Xing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dean You.\" Zhao Xing bowed in salute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked around the room; talisman papers were pasted everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At You Xuanfeng’s feet was a row of boxes, clearly materials prepared for teaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Grand Agriculturalist said he wants you to learn the middle and advanced stages of talisman techniques. You already have a foundation in the elementary stage, so I will start teaching you from the intermediate stage.\" You Xuanfeng didn't waste words and started teaching directly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The intermediate stage of a Talisman Master mainly involves contemplating the 'Lesser Five Elements Talismans.' The five elements of wind and thunder are the essence of the Dao. It is the same for every profession, but we communicate with heaven and earth through the brush and painting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The most classic talisman techniques are 'Wind, Fire, Mountain, Forest,' the 'Nine-Character True Talismans,' the 'Three-Six Yuan Talismans,' etc. These are the techniques.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The advanced stage is the 'Great Five Elements Divine Talismans,' which is also about comprehending the Dao of the five elements of wind and thunder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the high-tier stage, the most classic talisman techniques include the 'Myriad Talisman Array Scripture,' the 'Taiyi Sixty-Four Talismans,' the 'Six Ding Divine Talismans,' etc.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Dao realm is actually already sufficient.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is a matter of drawing inferences from one instance; you are just not used to how to exert your Dao through talismans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This requires a large amount of training to accumulate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for comprehending the Dao through techniques, I will teach you in a way you are more accustomed to. Watch closely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two talismans suddenly popped out from You Xuanfeng’s sleeves and appeared in his left and right palms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the talismans had cloud patterns, white background with yellow characters, and the other had a blue background with black characters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuanfeng waved his hands, and the blue talisman turned into a light rain, while the white talisman turned into a patch of clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One is the Cloud character talisman, the other is the Rain character talisman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moving clouds and spreading rain is the foundation of an Agriculturalist, but in essence, clouds and rain both belong to the Water element among the five elements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing watched carefully. The level of magic power fluctuations produced by these Rain and Cloud character talismans was not high, roughly at the ninth level of the intermediate stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For him, it belonged to the level of learning it at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was actually not difficult to learn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that Zhao Xing was very unaccustomed to this method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he could already move clouds and spread rain, there was no essential difference between releasing it through talisman paper and releasing it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if he already knew how to fly, but instead of flying himself, he had to write a talisman and stick it on his body to fly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are not slow; it is purely a matter of habit.\" You Xuanfeng commented pointedly. \"Since it is a habit, it can be changed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\" Zhao Xing nodded. He began to force his brain to accommodate the \"Talisman Dao\" method of performing magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuanfeng’s perspective was high, and Zhao Xing’s own comprehension of the Dao was also high. Once he got used to it, his learning speed picked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than half a year, he had learned all the intermediate talisman paths and techniques, and mastered them thoroughly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another half a year later, he had also fully comprehended the advanced talisman path, the \"Great Five Elements Divine Talismans,\" and began to delve into various \"talisman techniques.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a time-consuming process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly because there were too many talisman techniques!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just for a single talisman, there is the distinction of the five elements, and each element has classifications of Great Talismans, Lesser Talismans, Time Talismans, and Directional Talismans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Each category has thousands of techniques.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After learning them, forming talisman arrays and permutations and combinations has countless variations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing learned in agony. Forcing a genius like him to do this kind of boring, repetitive work was simply torture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own magic could already blast apart top-tier talismans, but now he had to learn this minor path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How was the Talisman Dao born? It was those with weak magic talent who couldn't do it themselves, so they used special materials to comprehend heaven and earth and perform magic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can do it myself, damn it, but I have to learn that clumsy method. Where can I go to reason with this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing complained frantically to the God Luo King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God Luo King was the one teaching the basics of mechanical arrays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Zhao Xing had already sent an extra clone to the God Luo Academy to learn mechanical arrays from the God Luo King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can't say it like that; Talisman Dao masters are also quite powerful.\" The God Luo King laughed, \"Someone with great perseverance like You Xuanfeng can use the Divine Talisman Array quite well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, Talisman Dao is far inferior to the way of mechanisms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God Luo King seemed to have said a fair word, but in reality, he was still being sarcastic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great perseverance? Isn't that just having poor talent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no help for it; Talisman Masters were basically at the bottom of the contempt chain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally, only those who had average magic and average martial arts talent, and really had no other choice, would learn the Talisman Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Master Zhao, it was even just a secondary profession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no help for it; Li Boqian wanted him to learn all the intermediate and advanced variations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mechanical arrays are not easy to learn either.\" Zhao Xing sighed, \"They are too broad and profound.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God Luo King loved hearing this. He grinned and said: \"It's fine, you only need to learn up to the advanced level. For top-tier mechanical arrays, knowing how to assemble and use them is enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest enough? If you've rested enough, shall we continue learning the 'Heavenly Gang Array' and the 'Earthly Fiend Array'?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God Luo King was amiable.

He naturally understood this feeling of Liu Tianning’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Invincibility is too lonely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must put in some effort,\" Liu Tianning encouraged, \"don't make me wait too long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I definitely won't make you wait too long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shangluo Academy, Soldier-Using Academy, Seed Soldier Garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large tree swayed and disappeared from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a large pit appeared on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing closed his eyes, and a moment later, he displayed it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An elderly man named \"Lin Yuan,\" who was responsible for managing ninth-rank plant soldier units, stroked his beard and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dean Zhao is truly a heaven-favored child; he was able to easily subdue the ninth-rank 'Heavenly Net Tree'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You flatter me.\" Zhao Xing bowed. He was now the Vice Dean of the Divine Wood Academy, but Lin Yuan had very old seniority. As a veteran First Rank, he had already lived for nearly seven hundred years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone who could manage soldier-type plants must have a combat power that was definitely not weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ten planted, ten lived; I haven't seen this success rate in a Second Rank Heavenly Fortune realm in a long time,\" Lin Yuan smiled. \"To be able to see two peerless geniuses appear in the Shangluo Academy in my lifetime, how fortunate I am!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The look in his eyes when he looked at Zhao Xing was exactly like looking at a treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing was also used to it; \"Innate Agriculturalist Holy Body,\" after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have prepared everything; please take me to the inheritance site, Senior Lin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, follow me.\" Lin Yuan nodded and took Zhao Xing to perform [Divine Wood Leap] together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Swish~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing and Lin Yuan appeared at the inheritance site of the Soldier-Using Academy—the Ice Stone Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ancient inheritances are all carved on the basis of ice rock.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was born in the West Pole Glacier, compressed by thick glaciers for endless years, and finally took shape.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The oldest ice rock can be traced back seven hundred million years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing nodded. The material of the Dragon Emperor Code he possessed was crafted from ice rock compressed to the extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice rock is not good for use as a weapon because it only resists decay; its hardness and flexibility cannot reach the treasure level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only in terms of resisting decay, no treasure-level material can compare to it, and it can be found as long as there are ancient glaciers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the difficulty of mining is also relatively high. Apart from First Rank experts, very few have the ability to go under those ancient glaciers to collect ice sulfur rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The 'Soldier-Using Divine Decision' is recorded on a giant rock in the very center of the Ice Rock Forest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Its origin can no longer be verified; it is only known that it was discovered by 'Chu Daozi,' one of the founders of our Shangluo Academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chu Daozi?\" Zhao Xing recalled the situation of the universe version and found he had no impression. It seems he didn't ascend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"'Soldier-Using Divine Decision' is best contemplated in conjunction with the 'Myriad Things Growth Chart.' It requires a profound understanding of the four types of techniques: Strengthening, Analyzing, Condensing, and Bending. Only by cultivating the top-tier techniques in these four categories can one possibly practice the first layer of the 'Soldier-Using Divine Decision'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Practicing the first layer allows one to drive ninth-rank soldier units. Once the first layer is perfected, one can fully exert the power of ninth-rank soldier units.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The second layer corresponds to treasure-level soldier units.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The third layer corresponds to peerless rare treasures.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just that no one has practiced the third layer yet. Looking back ten thousand years in our dynasty, the way of passing on rare treasures has all relied on the 'Heaven and Earth Seed Soldier Scripture'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Senior, for your guidance.\" Zhao Xing nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can stay here as long as you like,\" Lin Yuan said with a smile, \"if you need anything, you can call me at any time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Senior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, a year had gone by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing’s main body was still staying in the Ice Rock Forest contemplating the four top-tier techniques of the Self, and hadn't yet started practicing the \"Soldier-Using Divine Decision.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The top-tier techniques of the Self sect are much more difficult than those of the other two sects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is now the 80th year of Yongzhi. Old Liu is about to fight the eighth round; the [Arena] is exactly when experts are as numerous as clouds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My main body only needs to occupy half of my mind here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will also send a clone to the arena to spar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Having not fought in real combat for over a hundred years, I feel like I’m going to rust. A holy son without real combat achievements is ultimately a bit hollow. If I want to unify the three sects, it’s time to make a name for myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing immediately split off ten clones, left the Ice Rock Forest, and sought out Liu Tianning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher, I also want to go to the arena to try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Tianning couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: \"I beat up the First Ranks, and then you beat up the Second Ranks. Isn't that bullying people too much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't necessarily have to choose Agriculturalists,\" Zhao Xing laughed, \"other professions are also my challenge targets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The competition for certain important positions in other professions has also reached the final stage. Many experts will come out; it’s good to go and learn a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take it easy,\" Liu Tianning laughed, \"don't let others select a Junior Minister of Works or a Golden Guard General, only to have them beaten flat by you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could that be?\" Zhao Xing said, \"I’m just a clone; I wouldn't dare underestimate the heroes of the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, Teacher should be careful. I heard that Dean Wang Tianzhi, Dean Ling Tianchen, and Dean Qiu Yuanshan are all coming out of seclusion to receive your round of Dao-discussion battles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Them?\" Liu Tianning just smiled, then waved his hand and said, \"Go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the 80th year of Yongzhi, after the Spring Festival, the [Arena] in Daoyuan Continent suddenly became lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless experts from the academies, commanders from various armies, princes and nobles, and many imperial princes all ran to Daoyuan Continent to watch the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he arrived at the place, Zhao Xing’s Earth Mirror rang with a familiar voice: \"Big Brother, I heard you came too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you going to participate in the battle?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who sent the message was Ji Che.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m here; I definitely have to find someone to fight a few rounds.\" Zhao Xing replied quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After Big Brother arrives, please come to the Earth-character No. 39 [Dao-Discussion Arena] quickly,\" Ji Che said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I haven't gotten off the boat yet.
