Chapter 322

PS: To avoid confusion, I have modified some setting names. The previous "Rules Dojo" is now "Rules Domain." Dojo > Domain > Distorted Rules. The essence remains unchanged; it is just a name change to make it easier for everyone to understand.

Since the location was determined, it only took half a month for the main body to fly there.

"Found you, Dragon Spirit Bamboo!"

"Hmm? So tall?"

Zhao Xing estimated the distance and easily calculated the height of the Dragon Spirit Bamboo.

This Dragon Spirit Bamboo was ten thousand zhang tall, three times taller than the Heaven-Reaching Mountain he was cultivating!

"It's even bigger than expected. It seems that without the factor of players, the total amount of spiritual energy in the entire Profound Yellow World has increased, including this location in the Bright Radiance North Sea," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

In his past life, the Origin Qi tide was accompanied by a small-scale eruption of spiritual energy; the Dragon Spirit Bamboo seen at that time was only ten thousand zhang tall.

Now that the Origin Qi tide hasn't even arrived yet, it's already ten thousand zhang tall?

"Let the clone take a look first."

The main body still had to be careful and did not rush over immediately.

After all, this was a Treasure-grade Dragon Spirit Bamboo, the kind that could even serve as a unit type; it was already equivalent to a human in the Rules Realm!

From the perspective of life hierarchy, the power of the Dragon Spirit Bamboo is extremely formidable even within the Rules Realm.

After all, the time required to gestate it and the nutrients it absorbs are far beyond other life forms.

Even without the birth of self-consciousness, its self-protection mechanism is terrifying.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~

The clone began to advance slowly, observing from the air in multiple dimensions at a distance of twenty thousand meters.

Outside the Dragon Spirit Bamboo was a layer of rippling golden mist; even from far away, one could feel a sharp, stinging sensation.

"This can no longer be considered just the true intent of Geng Metal, but a higher-level Geng Metal Rules Domain, similar to the Rules Domain of humans."

"This is a naturally formed self-protection mechanism, not a conscious attack."

Zhao Xing observed as his clone dived into the sea, discovering that its roots formed a thousand-meter-high mountain underneath, surrounding the Dragon Spirit Bamboo and forming a very wide island.

There were eight sea eyes around it, and what was born from the sea eyes was spiritual energy!

The eight sea eyes on the island and under the sea were all locked by a touch of gold.

Survival instinct caused it to lock the spiritual energy to prevent leakage, creating a unique self-circulating environment.

"Eight spiritual energy sea eyes? In my past life, there were clearly only three."

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xing further confirmed his guess: the total amount of spiritual energy in this life was even more than he had imagined.

Observing from the bottom up, he found that the bamboo trunk was covered with peculiar patterns. These patterns were not ordinary scratches or flaws, but resembled small dragons winding and coiling.

Observing carefully, one would find them either holding their heads high or winding and moving, each with a different form, lifelike.

Every dragon pattern flickered with a faint light—blue, yellow, red—within the patterns inside the bamboo, the flow of life seemed to follow the heavenly rules of the Dragon Court.

"Legend has it that it is one of the sacred woods of the Dragon Court. In ancient times, the Dragon race would come here to meditate, and through long-term exposure to dragon energy, the Dragon Spirit Bamboo was formed."

The ancient dragon patterns basically extended vertically, as if telling of its extraordinary journey through the baptism of the Luo Moon and the nourishment of the world's spiritual energy.

The seven-colored background added a touch of luxurious and mysterious radiance to it. This was not only a unique mark of the Dragon Spirit Bamboo's appearance but also a symbol of its close connection with the Dragon race.

The leaves of the Dragon Spirit Bamboo were also unique. Looking from afar, the leaves were like sharp swords, their edges flickering with a faint cold light, as if a gentle wave could tear through the void.

Between the bamboo nodes, golden patterns accumulated; looking closely, those patterns were actually like dragon scales.

Viewed as a whole, every bamboo node seemed like a bone of a dragon, tough and powerful, as if containing endless strength.

"Big, too big, it exceeded expectations," Zhao Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He had originally intended to transplant the treasure as a unit type; in his estimation, the Dragon Spirit Bamboo should only have been comparable to the early stage of the human Rules Realm.

But looking at it now, it definitely possessed the strength of the middle or even late stage of the Rules Realm.

"The difficulty of transplanting it is equivalent to planting Old Jing in the ground."

"No, that analogy is inappropriate. The Dragon Spirit Bamboo does not have strong self-consciousness, at most only survival consciousness. Old Jing is still far stronger than it."

Zhao Xing's clone advanced within ten thousand meters and found that there were no other creatures around at all, because other creatures could not survive here.

Like this kind of super-strong plant, it would instinctively take nutrients from heaven and earth; how could other life forms have a chance to survive? Unless it was beneficial to it.

Perhaps there were some before, but now there certainly were none.

There was no such thing as a guardian beast, because it was strong enough on its own.

"However, I am not the me who just entered the Dragon Court," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "My Pure Origin projection range is already large enough, and my Level 9 soil can be called the best in the world. Transplanting a Treasure-grade (Rules Realm) item into it is absolutely no problem."

"Brush, brush, brush, brush~"

After observing for half a month and formulating a transplant plan, Zhao Xing withdrew all his clones.

Transplanting such a big item absolutely required full concentration.

He was not only afraid of hurting himself but also afraid of hurting the Dragon Spirit Bamboo itself.

If it left the spiritual energy environment, it might lead to damage.

That would be a great pity.

"Hoo,"

Zhao Xing's main body stood ten thousand meters away and let out a long breath. After half a month of recuperation, his spirit and energy had reached their peak.

"Pure Origin Projection!"

Zhao Xing opened his eyes and gave a low shout, and then a shadow appeared on the seabed.

The light on the seabed suddenly became dim.

"Shifting Form and Phantom!!"

The originally irregular Pure Origin projection suddenly changed.

A larger circle was formed around the ten thousand meters surrounding the Dragon Spirit Bamboo.

The shadow began to erode forward.

To transplant, one had to erode the roots of the Dragon Spirit Bamboo.

"~"

When the Pure Origin projection approached the golden mist area, the speed suddenly slowed down.

This was the instinctive resistance of the Rules Domain formed by the Dragon Spirit Bamboo itself.

Any change in the survival environment that was unfavorable to its growth would trigger its resistance.

Weak plants adapt to heaven and earth, strong plants change heaven and earth!

Zhao Xing, who annotated "The Theory of Self and Heavenly Things," knew this very well.

This is also why the Si Nong of the Divine Wood Academy need to exhaust their whole lives to inherit a Treasure-grade sacred tree.

Dan Zui l~

This kind of resistance was not strong, but Zhao Xing did not intend to invade with force; instead, he began to analyze and explore the environment around the Dragon Spirit Bamboo.

Including the distribution of spiritual energy soil, water veins, and the strength of the earth veins.

He was performing exquisite and massive calculations!

"Change!"

Within Zhao Xing's Pure Origin space, the earth-type earth veins, spiritual energy springs, wilderness vitality, surging fire, four-pillar metal and stone, violent wind, and twin thunder pools.

All began to shift; this is the benefit of having a high level and a large enough space.

All of Zhao Xing's soil characteristics entered the second stage, and he could completely change the distribution of these characteristics as he wished.

"For Treasure-grade inheritance, every time there is a transplant, the Si Nong of the Self School have to prepare for a very, very long time."

"The preparation process is to transform the environment of the Pure Origin soil to be similar to the growth environment before the Treasure-grade plant was inherited."

"Only in this way can the self-protection mechanism of the Treasure-grade sacred tree not be triggered, or the intensity of the protection mechanism can be minimized."

"To put it plainly, it is to create an environment identical to the Dragon Spirit Bamboo, so that the Pure Origin projection can successfully wrap it."

"Then, taking advantage of its lack of attention, launch a sneak attack and quickly transplant it into the Pure Origin space."

Having read "The Theory of Self and Heavenly Things" and "The Scripture of Heavenly Planting," one would know the tricks of the trade.

The inheritance process, which is also the transplanting process, carries the risk that the Si Nong of the Self School might be crushed to death or even killed by the sacred tree.

"Even if the passive mechanism is triggered and one is struck by a Treasure-grade sacred tree, that is a flat attack from a Rules Realm powerhouse."

"If one is slightly careless, one is gone."

Zhao Xing calmed his mind and was not in a hurry at all.

Compared to subduing other species, such as spirit beasts, transplanting spirit plants is much better.

Because the self-consciousness of plants is very weak; as long as it is handled properly, there is no big problem.

The key is that the effort must be sufficient.

"Simulating the survival environment is an essential quality for Si Nong of the Self School to transplant vegetation."

Zhao Xing invaded carefully; this process took him a full three years.

Three years later, Zhao Xing's Pure Origin projection had already wrapped around the main foundation of the Dragon Spirit Bamboo.

"I can only wrap the main foundation," Zhao Xing opened his eyes.

"The radiation range of the Dragon Spirit Bamboo's roots is truly terrifying. If I wanted to include everything, I couldn't do it."

One must know that for a large tree twenty or thirty meters high, its roots underground can spread up to three kilometers in radius!

The Dragon Spirit Bamboo is ten thousand zhang high, and the range its roots grip underground almost covers a small half of the Bright Radiance Sea!

Want to cover everything? Let alone Level 9 soil, even Level 10 soil wouldn't work.

Therefore, it must be cut off!

"This step is also the most critical moment."

"Once its branch roots are cut off, the self-protection mechanism will definitely be triggered."

Zhao Xing took a deep breath and repeatedly deduced for two and a half months.

Finally, he formulated a satisfactory plan and then took action.

"Receive!!"

Zhao Xing's whole body's Origin Qi surged, and the Pure Origin projection suddenly retracted.

Lasting three years and two and a half months, Zhao Xing's Pure Origin projection retracted at this moment.

"Buzz~"

In an instant, he felt that he was more tired than dragging ten 【Ten Thousand Heavy Mountains】.

However, at this moment, he still successfully received it inside.

"Boom!"

The moment the Dragon Spirit Bamboo disappeared, its defense mechanism was triggered!

A golden shockwave, incomparably sharp and over ten thousand zhang, spread toward the surroundings.

At the same time, a dragon shadow wanted to rush out of the bamboo body.

"Poof~"

The shockwave swept past, and only a cloud of mist remained at the original position of Zhao Xing's main body.

The cloud mist was quickly shattered, becoming part of the shockwave, continuing to sweep through the Bright Radiance North Sea.

A monstrous tsunami rose, and the entire ocean seemed to boil.

"Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!"

He continuously performed the "Measure the World" technique, but the speed of the shockwave was too fast.

It was completely a Rules shockwave, which could not be inferred by ordinary speed at all.

"Divine Wood Jump!"

Zhao Xing had prepared for more than three years and had long been on guard.

He immediately activated the top-level technique of the Self School.

The 【Divine Wood Jump】 evolved from the original 【Jungle Jump】.

On his retreat path, there were seventh-stage large trees called Control Paulownia Trees.

They were connected in a straight line, with one such Control Paulownia Tree every 300 kilometers.

Zhao Xing had prepared two thousand such trees before entering the Dragon Court.

This time, he used two thousand trees in one go, only keeping a few saplings as backups.

After each jump, the cost was borne by the Control Paulownia Tree, which quickly withered and turned to ash.

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz"

Every time he jumped out of a Control Paulownia Tree, he immediately activated 【Divine Wood Jump】.

The cost was entirely borne by the plant itself.

He escaped 600,000 kilometers in one breath!

When the last Control Paulownia Tree behind Zhao Xing turned to ash.

Zhao Xing looked back and let out a sigh of relief.

"The Rules Realm is terrifying to this extent."

"Fortunately, I was well prepared."

Zhao Xing had no resistance in front of the Rules Realm.

No matter how many clones he had, it was useless, because the power level was not in the same dimension.

When Liu Liu Tianning inherited the four great sacred woods, he also entered the First Rank and gave birth to a Rules Domain before inheriting the four great Treasure-grade plant unit types.

"Reaching this step is not the end."

Zhao Xing immediately sat cross-legged, his mind sinking, and came to the Pure Origin space.

At this time, in the Pure Origin soil, the Dragon Spirit Bamboo was constantly trembling, and circles of golden light spread toward the surroundings.

Receiving it was only the first step; after entering, because a certain degree of protection mechanism was triggered, it still needed to be adjusted.

"I am not in the Rules Realm, not even in the First Rank Realm, but my Pure Origin soil has given birth to seven characteristics, which should be enough to suppress it."

Zhao Xing began to comb the earth veins, mobilizing the spiritual energy characteristics of fire, wind, wood, metal, thunder, etc., and began to soothe the Dragon Spirit Bamboo. The vibration lasted for a long time. Because the Dragon Spirit Bamboo was stronger than imagined, Zhao Xing could not make it quiet for a long time.

"Too strong, fortunately I didn't plant any other plants here, otherwise once it came in, the other plants would be finished, which would be equivalent to raising them in vain."

Nothing else, Treasure-grade plants are just domineering!

That is survival instinct, wanting to control the surrounding heaven and earth, turning it into a shape more suitable for its own residence.

"It seems it won't be quiet for a while." Zhao Xing watched for a while; he had long since put other plants,

including the Floating Vines and other plants, in the corner.

The place was big enough, so some backup tool trees planted before, such as the Control Paulownia Trees and the Five Elements Wood for straw man materials, were not affected.

However, just when Zhao Xing wanted to leave, the Dragon Spirit Bamboo suddenly quieted down and stopped grabbing spiritual energy toward the area where the spiritual energy was most abundant in the center.

"Hmm?"

Zhao Xing looked carefully and found that it was the center area, where the most abundant spiritual energy seed floating in the center, a purple-black seed, emitted light.

Wisps of purple-black light impacted the Dragon Spirit Bamboo.

"It's the tender leaves of the Cloud-Touching Vine emitting it," Zhao Xing was happy.

It looked as if a green leaf of the Cloud-Touching Vine gave the Dragon Spirit Bamboo a big slap, and then the Dragon Spirit Bamboo became honest and dared not grab spiritual energy anymore.

"The Cloud-Touching Vine is still the one that can hold the fort," Zhao Xing laughed.

The Cloud-Touching Vine is only in the seedling stage now, while the Dragon Spirit Bamboo has already entered the peak stage.

But when it sensed a big boss in the surrounding environment capable of destroying itself, the Dragon Spirit Bamboo dared not move anymore. Why grab resources? Bamboo life comes first!

"Awesome!"

Zhao Xing exclaimed "Awesome."

Over the years, the Cloud-Touching Vine has never grabbed spiritual energy, only maintaining its own life form. At critical moments, it can also help Master Zhao protect the Pure Origin space.

"Void seeds have a big pattern, knowing that I can't afford to raise it now," Master Zhao felt a little moved for a moment.

Then he looked at the ignorant Dragon Spirit Bamboo.

"Although the Dragon Spirit Bamboo is a unit type, it also has medicinal value."

"It has the magical effect of nourishing the spirit."

"If a cultivator can place it by their side, the Dragon Spirit Bamboo will emit a special kind of spiritual energy. This spiritual energy can slowly seep into the cultivator's sea of consciousness, repair subtle damage to the spirit, and make the cultivator's mental power increasingly powerful."

"People who cultivate beside the Dragon Spirit Bamboo for a long time will have their spirits become as firm as a rock, not easily affected by external illusions or mental attacks, and can also more smoothly resist the intrusion of inner demons when breaking through realms."

"The branches of the Dragon Spirit Bamboo are also excellent materials for refining divine weapons. Magic treasures refined with them are not only incomparably tough but also possess powerful spirituality."

"Cut the Dragon Spirit Bamboo and refine it into a bamboo flute. When played, the flute sound can turn into a dragon shape, possessing powerful sonic attack capabilities, which can shock the enemy's mind."

"If it is refined into a long sword, dragon scale patterns will appear on the sword body. When waved, it is as if a giant dragon is roaring, and the power is astonishing."

Zhao Xing looked at it and was very satisfied.

"The most important thing is its power."

"It can perform breath attacks like the Dragon race."

"Every bamboo node is its burst port."

1

"The dragon breath appears pale gold, with extremely high temperature, and can instantly turn surrounding objects into ashes."

"Secondly, Bamboo Shadow Phantom Dragon: having coexisted with the ancient Dragon race for countless years, the bamboo body and leaves have recorded many innate secret techniques of the Dragon race. Waving the bamboo body, the surrounding spiritual energy will quickly gather, forming giant dragon phantoms that look lifelike."

"The giant dragon phantoms possess powerful attack and defense capabilities and can engage in fierce battles with enemies."

"Third, Spirit Bamboo Barrier: the bamboo nodes of the Dragon Spirit Bamboo are connected to each other and can form a Rules Barrier."

"The Rules Barrier has a concealment effect. It was not discovered in the Bright Radiance North Sea for many years because of the existence of the Spirit Bamboo Barrier."

"In addition, it will automatically absorb the surrounding spiritual energy. While resisting enemy attacks, it also has the ability to rebound attacks."

Zhao Xing was escaping for his life just now because he triggered the Geng Metal Rules breath of the Dragon Spirit Bamboo.

It possesses other Five Elements characteristics, but its foundation still belongs to the two Rules attributes of Metal and Wood.

The innate skills formed by the two Rules are Geng Metal Breath and Spirit Bamboo Barrier.

Zhao Xing watched for a while and then stopped paying attention.

Because he is currently unable to drive the Dragon Spirit Bamboo and must cultivate the advanced version of 【All Things Are Soldiers】.

For example, Liu Liu Tianning's "Scripture of Heavenly Planting" or "Divine Decision of the Soldier Envoy."

Only by cooperating with secret techniques can one drive plant unit types to fight as one wishes.

"I can't project it at all right now."

When Liu Liu Tianning originally performed the Four Seasons Divine Splendor, he only projected a part of it, making the four great sacred woods exist between virtual and real.

To truly complete the descent of the sacred tree to the ground of the Profound Yellow World, that would be the Four Seasons Divine Splendor Dojo, not the Four Seasons Divine Splendor Domain.

"Subduing the Dragon Spirit Bamboo took more than four years back and forth," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "The adult Control Paulownia Trees are all dead."

"But this is absolutely worth it. Cultivating the secret technique "Four Seasons Divine Splendor Dojo" and using the Dragon Spirit Bamboo to occupy the Eastern Spring position is definitely stronger than Old Liu's Heaven-Horn Bamboo."

"No, what Old Liu—at that time it should be called Little Liu, quack~"

Zhao Xing imagined proudly for a while.

Then he turned into a five-clawed golden dragon and flew to the next location.

In the Ancient Ting Wang Cheng, Xia Jing and Long Xiao appeared from the teleportation array, looking disheveled.

"What's wrong with you two?" Chen Shijie, who was at the edge of the teleportation square, was stunned and put down the star conch in his hand.

"Didn't you just set off for Dragon Abyss Valley?"

"Hey, don't mention it," Xia Jing waved his hand, "We passed through the teleportation array to the True Dragon Wang Cheng in the morning, and then flew toward Dragon Abyss Valley. As a result, we encountered a tsunami and a big storm not long after flying."

"Where did the tsunami and storm come from in that direction?" Chen Shijie was stunned. He had been here for a few years and was quite familiar with the map of the Dragon Court.

"Bright Radiance Sea."

"How is that possible?" Chen Shijie said strangely, "It's a hundred and eighty thousand li away. Can the weather there affect your trip to Dragon Abyss Valley?"

"It's true," Long Xiao said, "We also felt strange at first, but after staying in the Wang Cheng with Brother Xia for two hours, we received a warning from the First Rank powerhouse 'Lin' from the star conch, saying that Dragon Abyss Valley was already gone, submerged by the violent Bright Radiance Sea."

"Huh?" Chen Shijie listened, as if it were a fantasy.

Si Nong are very sensitive to the timing and location. In Old Chen's eyes, this should be something that does not exist.

Bright Radiance Sea is 250,000 li away from Dragon Abyss Valley. How big a tsunami would it take to affect that side?

But soon he also received similar news in his star conch.

Many more powerhouses of the imperial court came out of the teleportation array.

"Not only was Dragon Abyss Valley submerged, but a quarter of the Golden Desert north of the Bright Radiance Sea has also turned into an ocean."

"Two territories of the Dragon Country 'Gu Pang' to the east have also suffered a great disaster."

"The imperial court has issued warnings to all members, involving sixty-three regions and one hundred and fifty-two exploration sites. Those without Second Rank strength are prohibited from going there to explore."

Xia Jing rubbed his chin: "Speaking of which, this wouldn't be caused by Brother Zhao, right? Bright Radiance Sea is known as the Dead Sea. How could it be violent for no reason?"

"Guessing what? Just ask him," Long Xiao took out the star conch, "Doesn't he have a clone stationed in Xila Prefecture?"

Xila Prefecture is the residence of Ji Ji Mengjun, the town guardian of the Wang Cheng, equivalent to the embassy of the Great Zhou in the Dragon Court.

At this time, the star conch of Ji Si, who remained here, was blown up.

Many officials sent messages to ask what exactly happened.

After finally finishing her work, Ji Si came to the secret room and looked at the figure who was "hanging up."

"Marquis Shenwei, this movement is too big," Ji Si said helplessly.

Zhao Xing issued a warning immediately after escaping, and Ji Si received the news at the first time.

However, Ji Si did not expect that the movement Zhao Xing mentioned would be so big.

"I didn't expect it either," Zhao Xing shook his head; he really didn't expect the Dragon Spirit Bamboo to be so strong.

The explosion at the moment the Dragon Spirit Bamboo was moved away made him busy escaping for his life.

He could only have time to send a message after two thousand breaths.

He didn't even know how big the movement was himself, so how could he explain it clearly to Ji Si?

If everything was clear, why would the imperial court raise officials?

"Everyone, try to keep a low profile," Zhao Xing said. "In these few years, middle-grade officials should not run around the Central Dragon Court, and even Third Rank officials should run there less."

"Still coming?" Ji Si was stunned, and then reacted, suddenly having spirit. "Oh, no problem, is there a harvest?"

"Yes."

"How big?"

"Very big!" Zhao Xing said, "It's still unclear what the situation is now. Only when I go back can I figure it out."

Zhao Xing doesn't even know which stage of the Rules Realm the Dragon Spirit Bamboo is in specifically now; only by cultivating the Divine Decision of the Soldier Envoy can he perceive it.

"Good," Ji Si nodded and intended to leave.

"Wait a minute, notify the exploration sites around 'Panghuo Desert' in advance and let everyone withdraw," Zhao Xing said.

Because the next location he was going to was Panghuo Desert.

Ji Si nodded: "Okay, I'll go notify."

Panghuo Desert, here it seems to be a region cursed by gods, covered by endless flames all year round, and the scorching breath permeates every inch of the air, making this desert a forbidden zone for life.

"Hoo~" The huge dragon body stepped into the desert, and Zhao Xing turned into a human form again.

What came into view were the tongues of fire dancing all over the sky; they were like the tentacles of demons, dancing wantonly over the desert.

The raging fire dyed the sky blood red, setting off the golden sand, forming a scene like hell.

The high temperature made the air distorted. Looking from afar, the scenery in the desert seemed to sway in the heat wave, like a dream.

"Panghuo Desert, one of the forbidden areas of the Dragon Court Ancient Land," Zhao Xing scanned the front. "However, the more forbidden it is,"

"the more people come. Many Fuming craftsmen like to come here to collect sand."

"I want to find a second type of plant to represent summer. In the future, when cultivating the Dojo, I will use it to unify the heavenly rules of the Southern Main Position."

Zhao Xing closed his eyes to feel, and he found that his intuition and planned route were reversed.

"This is a characteristic of entering the Heavenly Luck Realm, acting according to the luck of heaven and earth, and not going to those dangerous places."

"Fortune and misfortune depend on each other. Sometimes this feeling doesn't necessarily have to be taken as a basis for action."

Like those First Rank powerhouses executed by Ji Ji Mengjun, they were led by fate, refused the imperial court's orders, and as a result, death descended.

"Search for reference objects."

Zhao Xing's clones dispersed, constantly searching in the sky.

Huge fire vortexes would appear out of thin air from time to time in the sky. These vortexes were like entrances to the netherworld,

emitting suffocating high temperatures and powerful suction. Any object that approached would be instantly rolled into it and turned into ashes.

However, in the eyes of Si Nong, these abnormal celestial phenomena also had laws to follow.

There are many ways for Si Nong to judge the direction. Zhao Xing used his past life's memories, combined with what he learned in this life, and began to combine the exhaustive method to explore.

"Bang bang bang!"

Occasionally, clones were injured by the flying stones ejected from the fire vortexes.

Some clones were even careless and were directly sucked in, disintegrated by the high temperature.

"It's so damn hot."

The exploration difficulty of Panghuo Desert is much greater than that of Bright Radiance Sea.

Bright Radiance Sea is just big, but there are no obstacles, and flying around is unimpeded.

However, here, there are obstacles everywhere.

Zhao Xing spent six years before finally finding the destination—an ancient volcano.

"The birth of the entire Panghuo Desert is because of this volcano."

Zhao Xing looked into the distance.

The volcano towered into the clouds, and the crater was constantly erupting magma, like an angry giant beast, venting its power to the world.

Magma flowed down along the mountain body, forming scorching rivers, dividing the desert into different areas.

The flickering fire vortexes in the air were like eyes blinking.

"Receive!"

Zhao Xing put away the remaining clones, and the main body put on a colorful cloak.

Jinlan Cloak, Treasure-grade middle grade.

Selected from the imperial palace treasury.

Emperor Jing originally allowed Zhao Xing to exchange three times, and Zhao Xing had already used two of the opportunities, one of which was this 【Jinlan Cloak】.

It only has one effect: Fire Repulsion.

And precisely because it focuses on one effect, it has achieved the ultimate.

It can form a powerful fireproof shield.

However, its production is too low, and the materials to make it have a growth cycle.

From the years of the Great Ancestor to now, there have only been four finished products.

It takes almost seven hundred years to make one.

Three of them were only Treasure-grade lower grade, and the only middle-grade one was chosen by Master Zhao.

"Wait for the Great Night of the Dragon Court's Taiyin."

"When the Great Night descends, the temperature will drop slightly."

After Zhao Xing put on the Jinlan Cloak, he did not act immediately, but waited until the Great Night of the Dragon Court descended.

The arrival of Taiyin is a change involving the rules of heaven and earth.

The entire Dragon Court Ancient Land will enter a night lasting for one month.

"The power is reduced by about twenty percent, that's about it," Zhao Xing opened his eyes.

The night in Panghuo Desert did not bring any coolness. Although the power was reduced by twenty percent compared to before, it was still incomparably hot.

At this time, although the temperature in the desert dropped slightly, it was still enough to be fatal.

If it weren't for the Ancestral Dragon Transformation, plus the power of the Dragon Emperor Code and the Jinlan Cloak, Zhao Xing would not dare to come here.

His clones were destroyed many times, proving that the fire here could even burn a Heavenly Luck Realm powerhouse to death!

"Boom~ Boom~"

At night, low rumbling sounds rang out in Panghuo Desert; that was the sound of volcanic activity, as if the pulse of the earth was beating.

Zhao Xing was wrapped in the cloak, quickly came to the warm current layer of the volcano, and circled down along the edge of the crater.

"Boom~"

Each flame flow was more than ten li long, and the flame flows were intertwined, making Zhao Xing terrified.

"Like Bright Radiance Sea, the intensity of Panghuo Desert is also higher."

"It won't be stronger than the Dragon Spirit Bamboo, right?"

Zhao Xing searched constantly and finally found the second Treasure-grade plant on the south side of the crater.

"Separating Fire Divine Lotus!"

Summer occupies the Southern Main Position. The second type of Treasure-grade plant Zhao Xing prepared for the Four Seasons Dojo was the Separating Fire Divine Lotus. "It's really much bigger than expected!"

A trace of greed appeared in Zhao Xing's eyes.

The flowers of the Separating Fire Divine Lotus are huge and gorgeous, with layers of petals, each petal like a burning flame, presenting bright red, orange, or golden yellow.

Three colors represent the temperature of the flame.

The edges of the petals flicker with strange light, and there is fire jumping.

Even inside the volcano, it still cannot cover the light of the Separating Fire Divine Lotus.

The diameter of the Separating Fire Divine Lotus flower has reached three thousand meters!

Its lotus leaves are wide and thick, round in shape, as if carved from jade.

On the surface of the deep dark green lotus leaves, there is a faint layer of flame patterns. These patterns spread in the lotus leaves like blood vessels, as if constantly transporting mysterious energy for the lotus leaves.

The edges of the lotus leaves are slightly upturned, forming a beautiful arc, allowing it to float steadily on the magma of the water surface.

"Pure Origin Projection!"

Zhao Xing carefully performed the Pure Origin projection, invading the magma lake.

The roots of the Separating Fire Divine Lotus are thick and tough, presenting a dark red or reddish-brown color, as if they have been burned by fire for a long time. The roots are covered with tiny patterns, and the roots are deeply rooted inside the volcano.

Fully absorbing the energy of the entire volcano, Zhao Xing suspected that the eruption of the volcano was caused by the Separating Fire Divine Lotus.

"Once I move it away, the Pang Pang Yuan Volcano will definitely erupt."

"It's impossible to plant Control Paulownia Trees in this desert, and even the Measure the World technique is difficult to perform. Wanting to take it away,"

"is much harder than the Dragon Spirit Bamboo," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Southern Bright Separating Fire is a First Rank true intent. If it erupts, it can completely burn oneself into ashes.

"To survive in Panghuo Desert, it must be at least an Eighth-stage plant, and it must be a fire-type plant."

"The shortest escape route also requires one thousand trees as my jump base points."

What Zhao Xing originally prepared was only the Seventh-stage 【Southern China Fire Radiance Tree】, which is not enough to look at now.

"Now I want to let the Seventh-stage Southern China Fire Radiance Tree break through to the Eighth-stage level, I have to use a lot of spirit liquid."

"Too wasteful, let's start the backup plan."

What is the backup plan? Of course, it's shaking people!

Ancient Ting Wang Cheng, Xila Prefecture.

Zhao Xing found Ji Si: "Master Ji, please contact the First and Second Rank Si Nong who have entered the Dragon Court Ancient Land, regardless of the faction, and send a message to everyone."

"Everyone?"

"Everyone."

Ji Si said in a dilemma: "To mobilize so many Si Nong, even if there is a suitable reason, I am afraid that cooperation will be..."

The three factions have been competing for the position of Great Si Nong for decades!

Now that seventy years of Yongzhi have passed, the candidates from each faction have fought to the seventh round.

Although it is a competition, the relationship between the three factions has also sparked fire in the cuts of the Dojo in these rounds.

It is easy for Ji Si to call these Si Nong powerhouses over individually, but to gather them all together to do one thing?

Difficult, difficult, difficult!

Zhao Xing smiled: "Master Ji, just send this mobilization order out, just say that I, Zhao Xing, have something to do, and ask them to wait at the periphery of Panghuo Desert."

"If it were other professions, I might not have confidence, but if it is Si Nong—I believe everyone will come."

"Okay," Ji Si nodded. Since Zhao Xing said so, what else could he say?

"I'll send it immediately."

Zhao Xing opened the full-map shaking, which soon saw results.

In Xila Prefecture of Ancient Ting Wang Cheng, forty-two Si Nong officials soon gathered.

Among them, there were twenty-four Si Nong from the Heavenly Time School, twelve from the Earthly Benefit School, and only six from the Self School. There were six in total for the First Rank Life Palace Realm.

Shangluo Academy occupied two, and these two were Chu Chu Qianqiu of the Soldier Envoy Academy and Zhuang Danian, the dean of the Divine Wood Academy.

Because there was only Liu Liu Tianning left in the Shangluo Academy to compete, the danger of the Dragon Court Ancient Land was greatly reduced after having Master Zhao.

Shangluo Academy naturally also sent people in.

The Dragon Emperor is from our Shangluo Academy, so how can we not come in to support?

And after Old Liu became the dean, they also inherited some inheritance of the branch and broke through to the Life Palace Realm.

Zhuang Danian was only in the early stage of Life Palace, while Chu Chu Qianqiu was more powerful and had already reached the middle stage.

The First Rank Si Nong of the Heavenly Time School, one is called Jiao Anwang, not a titled prince, just that his name is Jiao Anwang.

One is called Min Qing. Although she is a woman, she is full of heroic spirit. She is not old and is also a second-generation powerhouse like Wang Wang Tianzhi and Ling Ling Tianchen.

The two First Rank of the Earthly Benefit School, one is called Xiao Zhe, one of the thirteen sages, holding the Che Di Divine Boat. Speaking of which, he still has some origins with Zhao Xing. At that time, it was he who dispatched the Divine Boat to transport the heavy weapon Ten Thousand Heavy Mountains to the fief of Prince Liang to kill people.

The other is called Taishu Kun, the new dean of the Kunyuan Academy.

He is also one of the candidates, but after fighting six games, he withdrew from the competition and indicated that he would no longer compete for the position of Great Si Nong.

When the Si Nong of the three factions gathered in Xila Prefecture, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Humph!"

Jiao Anwang of the Heavenly Time School saw Chu Chu Qianqiu and Zhuang Danian of Shangluo Academy sitting in the first and

second positions on the lower left of the main hall, and suddenly snorted coldly.

"Since when do the bottom-tier people dare to occupy the first guest seat?"

"Really no self-knowledge!"

Yin and Yang! Just yin and yang without covering up!

"Jiao Anwang, what are you yin and yang weirdly for?" Zhuang Danian patted the table and stood up.

"Isn't it?" Jiao Anwang contended, "What is your strength, and you dare to sit in front of me?"

"What are you arrogant about?" Zhuang Danian snorted: "Aren't so many deans of your Xuantian Academy beaten down by Dean Liu?"

"Liu Liu Tianning is powerful, that's Liu Liu Tianning. What does it have to do with you?" Jiao Anwang's body had thunder flashing, "If you have the ability, come and fight me for two moves? Don't worry, I definitely won't hurt you. If you have the guts, stand up!"

Chu Chu Qianqiu frowned and was about to stand up. Zhuang Danian's combat power was not strong. If they really wanted to fight, they still had to look at him, the dean of the Soldier Envoy Academy.

Jiao Anwang was clearly targeting Zhuang Danian, but actually he had always been watching Chu Chu Qianqiu.

They all had a sense of proportion and would not fight to the death, but it was necessary to cut and fight for the first and last.

"Everyone, please be calm—" Ji Si opened his mouth, but was blocked by a gust of wind.

Que Qing looked at Ji Si with a smile, and the meaning was very obvious.

A small life official, you have no right to speak!

Everyone didn't come for your face to do the task. Do you also want to manage the fighting skills?

Ji Si looked helplessly to the right.

Xiao Zhe and Taishu of the Earthly Benefit School were calm and pretended not to see.

They also had some hostility toward Chu Chu Qianqiu, Zhuang Danian, Jiao Anwang, and Que Qing, but they could still maintain some decency.

It would be good if they didn't add fuel to the fire. Who would come to pull the fight?

Just watch the fun!

Seeing that a struggle was inevitable.

Just at this time, a voice came from outside the main hall.

"Zhao Xing meets all the seniors, thank you all for your support."

The voice was like a spring breeze, blowing into everyone's heart, and also raised the temperature in the hall a lot.

Everyone stood up, and Chu Chu Qianqiu and Jiao Anwang also restrained their breath and did not continue the fight just now.

Zhao Xing is here, of course, the business is important!

The voice arrived first, and the figure followed through the steps outside.

"My Spirit Mountain Envoy is here~"

"Zhao Xing, what's the matter with us?"

"Vice Dean Zhao."

"It's Chen'an who is here."

"Hahaha, the Dragon Emperor is here."

The Second Rank Si Nong officials from all factions waiting outside all called Zhao Xing affectionately.

Zhao Xing was stripped of his official position by Emperor Jing, but he had the title of Honorary Vice Dean in the three factions and the real position of Doctor of Scripture, and was even a real-power Vice Dean in Shangluo Academy.

Everyone called Zhao Xing according to their own habits.

Zhao Xing walked over, and a group of Second Rank officials called him so affectionately, and some even bowed and saluted.

Undoubtedly, these were people from Kunyuan Academy.

Zhao Xing also returned the salute enthusiastically.

Ji Si looked from afar, and couldn't help but be a little lost.

Is this harmonious scene of the Si Nong of the three factions really not a dazzle?

"The face is really big—" Ji Si sighed in his heart.

I am afraid that if Li Li Boqian were here, everyone might do some superficial work, but it would be impossible to be so affectionate.

Ji Si only knew that Zhao Xing had written scriptures for the Heavenly Time School and was inheriting Li Li Boqian's unique skills, but he didn't know that he also sent a batch of True Dragon Essence Blood to the Hou Hou Hou Bian School every twenty years.

The latter is the most practical!

As for Kunyuan Academy and Shangluo Academy, it goes without saying.

"In the whole world, I am afraid that only this one person can achieve this degree," Ji Si thought in his heart.

Sure enough, as Zhao Xing stepped into the main hall, everyone quieted down.

Although Zhao Xing was only in the Second Rank Heavenly Luck Realm, everyone knew that this young man's future would exceed them, not to mention that he had made great contributions to the three factions.

Zhao Xing stood in the middle of the three factions and did not let everyone sit down, avoiding the dispute over seating.

"Seniors, I invited you all here because I have encountered trouble."

"I discovered a treasure beneficial to Si Nong in a secret place. It is easy to take it away, but difficult to retreat."

Zhao Xing stated his trouble and bowed to the four directions.

"Please help me, seniors."

Xiao Zhe and Taishu immediately expressed their stance: "The Holy Son speaks, we will go through fire and water, and we will not refuse!"

Chu Chu Qianqiu and Zhuang Danian followed closely: "We came to solve the trouble."

Que Qing also smiled: "I don't know what trouble you encountered, Chen'an? Is this many people enough?"

"If it's not enough, let Ji Si contact the life officials outside," Jiao Anwang said domineeringly: "Use the backup quota, and it's not a matter to transfer another hundred or eighty powerhouses from Xuantian Academy."

Zhao Xing stated his requirements. He first looked at Chu Chu Qianqiu and Zhuang Danian: "I need one thousand Eighth-stage fire-type plants, which must be planted in Panghuo Desert according to my route, so that I can perform 【Divine Wood Jump】."

Chu Chu Qianqiu and Zhuang Danian whispered for a while, and then nodded: "No problem."

Zhao Xing then looked at Xiao Zhe and Taishu: "I need to borrow the Che Di Divine Boat to transport people there at the fastest speed, and change the earth environment at the planting site, so that the Eighth-stage fire-type plants of Shangluo Academy can be successfully transplanted and survive."

Xiao Zhe and Taishu nodded: "No problem."

Zhao Xing looked at Jiao Anwang and Que Qing again: "I need the two of you to take people to circle an area at the planting and transplanting site. The reason is the same as just now, which is to maintain the survival time as much as possible."

"How long?" Jiao Anwang asked.

"At least insist on a survival time of six years."

Transplanting the Separating Fire Divine Lotus must be more time-consuming than the Dragon Spirit Bamboo.

If it were just a fire desert, the problem would not be big. It is mainly the fire vortexes that will be born at any time, which will affect survival.

"No problem," Jiao Anwang waved his hand, "As long as the one surnamed Chu and the one surnamed Zhuang are promising and don't produce any broken goods, I will ensure that he and his trees survive."

"You—" Zhuang Danian was so angry that his beard and eyes were wide, but he was stopped by Chu Chu Qianqiu. He was still relatively calm.

Zhao Xing said seriously:

"Seniors, the retreat path must not have any problems, otherwise I will die."

"Everyone must also withdraw in advance after I notify, otherwise everyone will also be in danger of life!"

Hearing this, everyone's face changed, and even Jiao Anwang put away his confident expression and dared not say anything like "I will ensure you survive."

"Okay, we will definitely give orders to ensure this."

"Must ensure that this matter is successfully completed!"

"Don't worry, Chen'an."

"Okay, then I will trouble you all," Zhao Xing bowed to the circle of people around him.

From this day on, forty-two high-grade powerhouses began to cooperate in action.

In the face of right and wrong, disputes of spirit can be put aside. Everyone can distinguish between the light and the heavy.

The efficiency of the powerhouses was very fast.

A group of people soon reached Panghuo Desert and began to act according to Zhao Xing's established route.

The main purpose is to transplant Eighth-stage plants one by one, plant them in the desert, and require them to survive without supervision.

Because they will withdraw one month in advance, ensuring the survival of these plants in an extreme environment is not an easy task.

Five years later, Zhao Xing, who had planned countless times, was finally ready.

"Receive!"

He cut off the roots of the Separating Fire Divine Lotus and rolled the magma and a large amount of fire-type spiritual energy into the Pure Origin space.

"Boom!"

Like the Dragon Spirit Bamboo, the self-protection mechanism was triggered.

The moment the Separating Fire Divine Lotus was received, it suddenly erupted with golden-red light.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom~"

The Pang Pang Yuan Volcano suddenly erupted, and the Southern Bright Separating Fire rose like a mushroom cloud, splashing toward the surroundings.

Zhao Xing's figure also disappeared at the same time.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared under an Eighth-stage fire-type tree.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh~"

Trees withered one by one, and he quickly moved away from the volcano by 【Divine Wood Jump】.

The surging heat wave seemed to burn everything.

Zhao Xing did not dare to delay for a moment.

Finally, after one thousand breaths, he left the Pang Pang Yuan Desert.

"Came out."

Zhao Xing looked back and found that the sky behind was completely red.

"Go!"

Zhao Xing immediately turned into a Great Peng and flew away quickly.

For cultivators who cultivate fire-attribute techniques, the Separating Fire Divine Lotus is a treasure they dream of.

It is also a treasure for both soldiers and medicine.

On medicinal value: cultivators can quickly improve their fire-attribute cultivation by absorbing the fire-attribute spiritual energy emitted by the Separating Fire Divine Lotus, or by directly taking the petals and lotus seeds of the Separating Fire Divine Lotus.

The power of the Separating Fire Divine Lotus is pure and powerful, which can help cultivators break through cultivation bottlenecks, improve realms, and even make cultivators understand higher-level fire-attribute techniques.

In the field of alchemy, the Separating Fire Divine Lotus is also an extremely precious material. Pills refined with the Separating Fire Divine Lotus

have powerful medicinal effects, such as enhancing the cultivator's physique, repairing damaged meridians, and improving the cultivator's vitality.

On unit type attributes, the Separating Fire Divine Lotus possesses three innate talents.

Fire Repulsion and Protecting the Master:

The lotus leaves of the Separating Fire Divine Lotus possess powerful fire resistance, and even the Southern Bright Separating Fire cannot burn them. It can be said to be the ceiling of the fire repulsion world.

Nine-Leaf Separating Fire:

All nine petals of the Divine Lotus can erupt with Southern Bright Separating Fire. When the nine leaves move together, it is the 【Southern Bright Separating Fire Domain】.

Lotus Root Reshaping:

The entire Divine Lotus can recreate a volcano. Its roots, which are the lotus root part, are excellent materials for the straw man technique. Even if not performed by the straw man technique, it can also preserve the life spirit for a very, very long time.

"Separating Fire Divine Lotus, both offensive and defensive, can also be used as clone material. When I reach the Rules Realm, it will be difficult to create a clone that is also in the Rules Realm, but the Separating Fire Divine Lotus is just the right material."

Zhao Xing sat cross-legged on the ground, revealing a smile.

Like the Dragon Spirit Bamboo, after the Separating Fire Divine Lotus entered the Pure Origin soil, the automatic protection mechanism also began to make trouble.

However, like last time, it became honest after being slapped with a purple-black light by the tender buds of the Cloud-Touching Vine.

"The treasures of spring and summer are already in hand, it's time to go out," Zhao Xing opened his eyes.

It is now the seventy-sixth year of Yongzhi. Time is not enough, and the remaining treasures in the Dragon Court can only wait for the next exploration.

However, getting two wild Treasure-grade plants in sixteen years is already extremely efficient.

Other Si Nong may not necessarily inherit a sacred tree in their whole lives, not to mention that Zhao Xing's are all top-grade goods.

At this level, there are no better plant unit types for the spring and summer treasures than them.

The other sacred woods of spring and summer in the Dragon Court are all behind the Separating Fire Divine Lotus and the Dragon Spirit Bamboo.

Another year passed, Zhao Xing looted some common Treasure-grade materials, such as Dragon Crystal Marrow, and left the Dragon Court Ancient Land in advance.

"Shang Tang Order!"

Zhao Xing summoned the Ancient Yin Warship to pick him up.

Once again, he went out through the netherworld and did not choose to return to Tianyong Prefecture.

Instead, he came out directly from the East Sea.

The reason for stopping here is because Zhao Xing sensed that the millennium change he divined long ago was about to happen. "Swoosh~"

Zhao Xing's figure appeared in an unfamiliar sea area of the East Sea, and then flew toward the destination.

"Starting from the twenty-something year of the Jingxin calendar, I divined three mountains with the tortoise shell of the ten-thousand-year mysterious turtle. At first, I discovered it was a stronghold of the Xuantian School, but it was slow to come out. I didn't expect the error to be more than a hundred years."

"The art of fate divination is indeed not one hundred percent reliable."

Zhao Xing flew to the target sea area, and through the seawater, he soon saw the three mountain peaks.

At this time, the three mountain peaks were gradually rising. Originally, they were in the sea area a thousand meters below, but now the mountain peaks had already emerged, forming small islands.

"Every moment is growing, the change of heaven and earth is accumulating power," Zhao Xing looked at the heaven and earth in all directions.

Through Heavenly Luck perception, he could find that the heaven and earth within a thousand li seemed to be accumulating some kind of energy.

"Millennium change, large range, diverse types."

"First, it can perfect the Ancestral Dragon Transformation, and second, it can try to let many plants accept the transformation."

"Many Seventh-stage plants, even if they all die, it's not painful. If one mutant strain can be produced, it's a blood profit!"

Millennium change is rare, appearing only once in a millennium. How hard is it to wait?

It is the Ten Thousand Transformations Cave Heaven, where the change is controllable, but the millennium level also has to wait until the Wu Di period to appear.

"According to this trend, it will happen in at most one month," Zhao Xing dispatched clones and began to blockade this sea area.

Half a month later, the three mountains already had a thousand meters exposed and were still growing.

"It's like the Spirit Mountain Technique," Zhao Xing's main body observed, and felt enlightened.

People raise mountains, and heaven and earth naturally gestate mountains.

The two have commonalities. Zhao Xing observed the growth of the three mountains, which also had great benefits for breaking through the Life Palace Realm.

He used the mountain technique to raise the Heavenly Luck Realm, and there were not many things that could touch him.

Another ten days passed, and there were only five days left before the change occurred.

At this time, the sea surface still looked calm, only the three mountains were already three thousand meters high.

"Why do I feel that these three mountains seem to have traces of human cultivation?" Zhao Xing looked, and had a strange feeling.

To say that it was raised by the Blood Spirit Venerable of the Xuantian School, it also makes sense.

Because the Xuantian School is actually a part of the split of the ancient Xuantian Divine Sect.

The other part entered the Great Zhou and went ashore to become the Xuantian Academy.

According to what the female Si Nong who assassinated him in Mingyue Prefecture said at the beginning, the Si Nong of the Shangluo Academy in ancient times were slaves who farmed, so the Earthly Benefit School must be about the same in their eyes.

It is normal for people of the Xuantian School to know the mountain technique.

"But what is the realm of the Blood Spirit Venerable? He should be Third Rank, or Second Rank at most? Can he artificially create such three mountains that are ready to go and trigger a millennium change?"

Zhao Xing felt very strange and vaguely had a sense of crisis.

As time passed, there were only three days left before the change.

The strange feeling and the faint sense of crisis lingered in his heart, becoming more intense.

"Someone is spying on me?" Zhao Xing suddenly shuddered and looked up at a certain place.

"? You are just a small Heavenly Luck Realm, and you really have some tricks," an ethereal voice came from all directions.

"What?! Is there really someone?" Zhao Xing was shocked in his heart.

Just at this time, petals drifted past Zhao Xing's eyes, and there were more and more petals, as if a petal rain was falling from the sky.

There was a woman with fluttering clothes, wearing seven-colored magic clothes, descending from the sky stepping on a flower petal road.

"What? It's her! How did this force appear so early?!" Zhao Xing was shocked in his heart after seeing the woman's appearance.

"Who are you? Looking at your expression, why do you seem to know me?" The mysterious girl carried a basket and looked Zhao Xing up and down.
