Chapter 338: The secret of recovery, the four requirements for ascension!

Military Realm, God-Lodging Grotto-Heaven.

Hurricanes spread from the void boundary wall.

Junior Minister of Agriculture Wang Tianzhi and Ling Tianchen stood on the deck of the God-Lodging warship, and beside them were the Rahu King and the God-Lodging Guard Commander Dong Ze. "Tianzhi, what level has the hurricane reached?" Rahu King asked.

"Reporting to the Grand Marshal, about level eleven." Wang Tianzhi looked out.

"What is the Yuan Qi index of the Shangheng Instrument?" Rahu King looked at Zhuang Danian who was operating the instrument. "Yuan Qi index 7. ." Zhuang Danian reported.

"Dong Ze, how do you feel?" Rahu King looked at Dong Ze again.

The latter shook his head: "It's hard to say. When I broke through, I didn't clearly understand these data. I only knew that I obtained some kind of perception in the hurricane, and then my Life Soul merged with my physical body, and the Yuan Qi underwent a qualitative change." "When I came out, I felt that heaven and earth were different."

Looking at the looming hurricane ahead, Rahu King fell into thought.

The God-Lodging Grotto-Heaven of a hundred years ago was not like this. It was stable and peaceful.

The God-Lodging Grotto-Heaven was almost entirely fertile land. Top-tier strong armies lived in the God-Lodging Grotto-Heaven, combined with the food supplement method, which created one of the ten forbidden armies of Great Zhou, the God-Lodging Army. Even new recruit martial artists could reach the fourth-rank Soul-Refining stage within ten years.

However, in the past hundred years, it has often had hurricanes.

At first, the intensity was not high, and the range was small, which was considered a natural phenomenon.

But the hurricane increased every year, and later, it was so terrifying that even high-grade people could hardly bear it. The agricultural officials were scared, thinking it would repeat the old events of the Ten Sun Grotto-Heaven.

However, this strange hurricane only moved at the boundary wall of the grotto-heaven.

It could not be expelled, could not be calmed, but after a while, it disappeared by itself. "Woo-hoo~"

"It has become a little bigger, reaching level eleven and a half." Wang Tianzhi suddenly said. "Yuan Qi index rose to 7. ." Zhuang Danian also reported.

Rahu King looked ahead. The giant rocks on the ground were easily pulled up, flying in the wind like fragile toys. Huge trees were uprooted, their branches were broken and crushed in the wind, and the leaves instantly turned into powder.

The mountains were not spared either. The hurricane was like an invisible giant hand, ruthlessly tearing at the mountain body. Large pieces of rock were peeled off, and the peaks were crumbling in the strong wind. The nearby lakes and rivers also underwent drastic changes. The lake water was lifted into huge waves, the waves were tens of feet high, like a city wall made of water rushing toward the shore. However, in the middle of this hurricane, there were dots of seven-colored divine light flickering, embellishing the doomsday scene of pitch-black terror.

"Wang Tianzhi, Ling Tianchen, you two go into the center of the hurricane, but act according to your ability." Rahu King reached out and clicked continuously around the two, as if silk threads were wrapped around them, and finally disappeared. "You can stay inside for at most one hour. When the hour is up, no matter what the result is, I will pull you back."

"Yes." Ling Tianchen and Wang Tianzhi nodded, and then flew toward the hurricane.

Rahu King intended to stare at it, but at this time Dong Ze took out the earth mirror and handed it to Rahu King: "Grand Marshal, there is a letter from Fengjing." "What is it?" Rahu King asked.

"Beichen King Qin Feng of Lingyuan Province has escorted his son into a prison car and arrived in Fengjing to plead guilty."

"Beichen King? Plead guilty?" Rahu King was a bit surprised. "He guards Yuyang Heaven, and rarely goes out for decades. What did he commit?" "The report mentioned pleading guilty to His Majesty and the Grand Minister of Agriculture." Dong Ze looked at the news and was also a bit puzzled.

Beichen King is a king, pleading guilty is naturally to Ji Che, which is very normal. But here it also brought in the Grand Minister of Agriculture Zhao Xing, which is very thought-provoking.

Looking closely, Dong Ze explained: "Beichen King Qin Feng and Grand Minister of Agriculture Zhao Xing had a conflict. The source is that Beichen Kingdom has been applying for delay in paying the Golden Fragrant Medicine Tax."

"Zhao Xing happened to pass by Beichen Kingdom, so he went to see it on the way, and found that Beichen Kingdom was managed by Prime Minister Shentu Ming and his Queen Shentu Lan in a mess, with much corruption."

"Zhao Xing wanted to catch the Shentu sister and brother for punishment, but was blocked by the rule power of Beichen King, so he displayed the 'Yuan Feng' method, turning the Shentu sister and brother into chickens and dogs, and trapped them in the royal palace, unable to move." "During this period, Beichen King once wrote a letter, but we were in the God-Lodging Grotto-Heaven, so the news was delayed."

"Then?" Rahu King frowned. "Who went to capture Beichen King?" Capturing a martial general vassal king, he, the Grand Marshal, actually didn't receive a notification?

"It was not sent to capture." Dong Ze said, "It was Beichen King who imprisoned himself in a car and went to the capital to plead guilty."

"It is said that Beichen King invited many experts to go to the royal palace, but they couldn't break the Yuan Feng method left by Zhao Xing, and couldn't safely rescue his wife and brother-in-law, so he bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and imprisoned himself to the capital." "Hmm? Zhao Xing actually has such ability?" Rahu King was surprised: "His progress is fast enough, almost changing every year."

Beichen King is a super first-rank, and there are many Life Palace Realm experts in the north.

For more than half a month, they couldn't safely rescue the Shentu sister and brother suppressed by Zhao Xing, which is simply a bit of a fantasy! "It's really shameful." Rahu King huffed.

Committing a crime is shameful, and it is even more shameful to not be able to clean up the mess after committing a crime!

"I warned Qin Feng early on not to indulge his relatives too much. Now it's good, he planted a big somersault." Strong people have the right of special pardon. Beichen King, as a super first-rank, generally has little impact on his mistakes.

But this kind of thing, either don't put it on the scale, or if you put it on the scale, the privilege is a display.

Beichen King is on the chopping block, and the ones holding the knife are Emperor Wu and Zhao Xing. This time, they have to cut two taels of meat no matter what.

"Grand Marshal, he is almost at Fengjing. The Grand Minister of Agriculture and His Majesty both have letters asking for your opinion on the disposal." Dong Ze looked at Rahu King.

Beichen King is the martial general system, so this belongs to Rahu King, just like Zhao Xing dealing with Lou Zhenyun, Dong Wenzhuo and Wu She are also based on his opinion.

Rahu King looked at the detailed information, and then said: "Reply to His Majesty and the Grand Minister of Agriculture. Just say that Beichen King guards Yuyang Heaven and has been fighting with foreign demons, and even if there is no credit, there is hard work. My suggestion is that he was implicated by his wife's family this time, so focus on punishing his wife's family."

Dong Ze nodded: "I hope Beichen King can recognize himself and the situation this time."

"Hope so." Rahu King looked at the hurricane ahead. "If he still dares to hold a grudge, even the gods can't save him." "Sinner Qin Feng, pays respects to His Majesty!" Fengjing, at the morning meeting, Beichen King was wearing shackles and knelt on the ground.

The civil and military officials all looked sideways and looked at the Beichen King kneeling on the ground.

The morning meeting was halfway through, and Beichen King was suddenly escorted in, asking for punishment, but it shocked the jaws of many people. "Beichen King, actually really came to the capital to plead guilty?"

"What did the Grand Minister of Agriculture do? Why is he so obedient." "It is said that he was subdued by the Grand Minister of Agriculture, and had to come to plead guilty."

"Beichen King is one of the eight super first-ranks of Great Zhou, actually can't help the Grand Minister of Agriculture's spell?" "Zhao Wang is awesome!!"

The officials discussed, and Ji Che on the throne glanced at Zhao Xing standing in the second position on the left: Brother, you are really something! Zhao Xing's expression was as usual. A mere Beichen King, isn't it simple to handle?

Ji Che pretended to be surprised: "Beichen King, what crime did you commit?"

Beichen King bowed with his son: "The minister was lax in discipline, causing the relatives to be in power. Fortunately, the Grand Minister of Agriculture took action to stop it, so that no major disaster was caused. The minister, as a vassal king, did not bring happiness to the people of the fief, but made the fief chaotic, so I ask His Majesty to punish me." After hearing this, Qin Ling, the eldest son kneeling beside Beichen King, had weak legs and panicked.

It was Beichen King who could still hold his mentality. The main hall became silent.

Removing the country, demoting the title, executing the Queen and the Prime Minister, every sentence hit the heart, shaking people speechless. Ji Che looked at the performance of the officials below, and was very satisfied in his heart.

He asked Wu She what to do. Wu She naturally wanted to say it more ruthlessly, so that Ji Che could show grace. Although the result had been discussed long ago, this process could not be less. This is part of the warning.

Of course, it can't be really done like this. It is not easy to give birth to a super first-rank. Unless the Beichen King is killed immediately, otherwise if it is too ruthless, people running away is equivalent to wasting a great help.

Ji Che said: "Beichen King Qin Feng."

"The minister is here."

"You were a king enfeoffed by the late Emperor. I remember your hard work and high credit, guarding Yuyang Heaven for many years, and rarely even returning home. This time the chaos in Beichen Kingdom was discovered in time, and you can ask for your own guilt, so I will demote you to a Commandery Duke." "Beichen Kingdom, except for the four commanderies around the royal city, all the remaining land belongs to the imperial court. You only have food and land, no longer have a fief. Do you accept the punishment?"

Beichen King bowed: "The minister accepts the punishment."

"As for your wife's brother." Ji Che looked at Zhao Xing again: "Grand Minister of Agriculture, you witnessed the chaos in the royal city, what do you think should be done?" Zhao Xing immediately glanced at Beichen King, who immediately lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head: "Please, Grand Minister of Agriculture, remember that she is my hair-tied wife, spare her life, and lift the spell."

Zhao Xing also followed the principle of not forcing too much, and immediately said to Ji Che: "The minister can restore Shentu Lan to human form, but she is removed from the Queen's title, and even the Duke's wife should not be retained. From now on, she will be imprisoned in the deep palace and must not step out of the palace gate for half a step." "Shentu Ming relied on the King's power, the minister thinks that letting him retain the body of a yellow dog and flow into the countryside is better than killing him, which can warn the world."

Making such a decision is relatively reasonable. Since Beichen King remembers love and is willing to come to recognize his guilt for his hair-tied wife, it is not appropriate to cut his hair-tied wife. Of course, his brother-in-law must be cut, but Zhao Xing thinks it is better for Shentu Ming to be a wild dog.

Since he has become a wild dog, Shentu Ming won't live long.

"Then follow the Grand Minister of Agriculture's words." Ji Che said. "Shentu Lan is imprisoned in the royal palace and must not step out of the palace gate for half a step. Shentu Ming turns into a yellow dog, flows into the city, and no one is allowed to help, let him fend for himself." "The minister thanks His Majesty, thanks the Grand Minister of Agriculture." Beichen King bowed with his son again.

He came here just to save his hair-tied wife.

As for Shentu Ming? This damn bastard, even if others didn't cut him, he wanted to cut him. "Retreat!"

Of course, one couldn't really do that. It isn't easy for a Super First-Grade to be born; unless one kills the King of Beichen immediately, pushing things too far would just mean wasting a great asset if the person decides to run away.

Many martial generals heard this punishment and couldn't help but shrink their necks, and began to strictly control their wives, concubines, and children at home.

"Beichen King Qin Feng is a super first-rank strong person, and he was removed from the country and demoted to a Commandery Duke. It can be seen that vassal kings have to pay a huge price to exercise privileges." "I am just a Marquis, and I have worked hard to build this piece of land. You can't ruin it!"

"Don't offend anyone, don't offend the Grand Minister of Agriculture who collects taxes. Do you want to turn into a chicken and a dog and stink for ten thousand years?" "The historian will definitely record this matter. The Shentu family is afraid that they will be on the list of treacherous officials."

"Quick, quick, bring me the tax accounts for this year, no, for the past fifty years. See if there are any mistakes. If there are mistakes, make up for them immediately!"

"Wang Ye, the fifth farm in our family seems to have missed 30, 00..."

"Grass! You dog thing wants to kill me, do you want to turn into a dog? Hurry up and make up for it, quick!" "I'll go right away!"

After Beichen King was dealt with, the chief officials of the tax supervision of the Agricultural Supervision reported good news one after another.

Meng Kun reported to Zhao Xing excitedly: "Hahahaha, Grand Minister of Agriculture, look, all provinces, prefectures, and commanderies have begun to pay taxes spontaneously."

"The chief officials in various places sent good news, saying that their work has become smooth, and they don't need to urge them at all, and many people have begun to cooperate with the clearing and payment." Zhao Xing smiled when he heard this. This was also expected.

With Beichen Kingdom as a typical example, they will definitely restrain themselves.

"This matter has far-reaching influence. I think who else will dare to disobey you in the future?" Meng Kun said happily.

As time passed, the Beichen Kingdom incident spread and was talked about, especially in the agricultural academies everywhere. It even set off a trend of learning the Hou Change Method!

"In the past, the Grand Minister of Agriculture Wu Cheng went to subdue the rebellious King of Korea, and also used the Hou Change Method, turning everyone in the entire Korean royal palace into pigs."

"Today, the Grand Minister of Agriculture Zhao Xing went to Beichen Kingdom alone, turning the demon queen and demon prime minister into chickens and dogs, making Beichen King have to bind himself to the capital to plead guilty. It is really refreshing." "I will say that the Hou Change Method is the strongest spell, who is not convinced?"

"Be careful, don't practice it into Qi deviation and turn yourself into a pig." "Hahahaha."

Yin Realm, inside the God Temple.

When the Beichen Kingdom incident reached the Yin Realm, Li Boqian couldn't help but take a hard breath of incense: "Good, good, my Yuan Feng method was really not passed on in vain, hahahaha!" "Brother Xuan-Yuan, do you believe now that I beat Xu Xing back then?"

"With my Yuan Feng method, who is the opponent?"

Xuan-Yuan Qingtian laughed: "Brother Li is talented, actually able to create a divine technique like Yuan Feng."

"The skin is really thick." Tianyang True Monarch inserted a sentence coldly, "When you practiced this method, the old man was watching." "Your Yuan Feng and Zhao Xing's Yuan Feng are already two spells."

"Your ultimate method is at most two turns, he has already reached the ultimate method five turns."

"What's more, your Yuan Feng doesn'

"The impact of this matter is profound. I wonder who would dare to disobey you in the future?" Meng Kun said happily.

As time passed, the affair of the Beichen Kingdom spread and was constantly talked about with relish, especially in the Agricultural Official Academies across various regions. It even sparked a trend of studying the Marquis Transformation Technique!

"In the past, Grand Agricultural Official Wu Cheng went to subdue the rebellious King of Han, and he also used the Marquis Transformation Technique, turning everyone in the entire Han Palace into pigs."

"Today, Grand Agricultural Official Zhao Xing went to the Beichen Kingdom alone and turned the demon queen and the demon prime minister into chickens and dogs, forcing the King of Beichen to bind himself and enter the capital to plead guilty. It is truly satisfying!" "I'll say it: the Marquis Transformation Technique is the strongest spell. Does anyone disagree?"

"Be careful, don't practice it until you suffer qi deviation and turn yourself into a pig." "Hahahaha."

The Underworld, inside the Divine Palace.

When the news of the Beichen Kingdom reached the Underworld, Li Boqian couldn't help but take a fierce puff of incense: "Good, very good! My Yuanfeng Technique was truly not passed on in vain, hahahaha!" "Brother Xuanyuan, do you believe me now that I beat Xu Xing back then?"

"With my Yuanfeng Technique unleashed, who is my match?"

Xuanyuan Qingtian said with a smile: "Brother Li has great talent to be able to create such a divine technique as Yuanfeng."

"You are truly thick-skinned." True Person Tianyang interjected out of the blue, "I was watching when you cultivated this technique." "Your Yuanfeng and Zhao Xing's Yuanfeng are already two different spells."

"At most, you are at the second turn of the Ultimate Technique, while he has already reached the fifth turn."

"Furthermore, how could your Yuanfeng have as many variations as his?"

Li Boqian immediately turned red in the face: "Yuanfeng is what I taught; how can it not count?"

"Heh."

The matter of the King of Beichen was but a small affair and soon returned to calm.

Super First-Grades like the King of Beichen will continue to emerge as the Qi tide advances.

What Zhao Xing is currently focusing on is the major event related to this.

In the 83rd year of Yuan-Shou, Wang Tianzhi and Ling Tianchen emerged from the Divine Abode Grotto-Heaven and returned to the Fengjing Agricultural Supervision Office to provide a detailed report to Zhao Xing.

"Grand Agricultural Official, we went in and out of the hurricane a total of nine times, lasting for half a year in succession."

"Including the two of us, seven hundred and fifty-three people were tested. We did not find the 'Creation Spiritual Elegance' you spoke of that causes the body and Dharma body to transform, though our spells did improve somewhat."

Zhao Xing looked at the report: "It seems the opportunities for breakthrough within the Great Zhou itself are indeed scarce."

To reach the true Rule Realm, there are two common methods.

One is to rely on the national destiny.

However, at the level of the Life Palace Realm, the number of Super First-Grades that the baptism of national destiny can support cannot be too high.

Currently, among the eight Super First-Grades of Great Zhou, only the King of Rahu has received such treatment.

Why? Because the King of Rahu cultivated to the First Grade on his own and forged a top-tier domain, making him immensely powerful. Giving him destiny to help him break through would cause that destiny to be completely integrated into himself.

After that, it wouldn't be something you could take back just because you wanted to!

Ji Che is still very cautious about cultivating Super First-Grades using this method.

Although Great Zhou is stronger now than it was during the time of Emperor Jing, it is not something that can be squandered at will; this method cannot be popularized on a large scale.

The second method is to absorb the creation of heaven and earth from the tide.

Zhao Xing calls it 'Creation Spiritual Elegance,' which appears accompanied by powerful Qi tides.

The most common form is the hurricane scraped out from the boundaries of Grotto-Heavens.

Hurricanes in Grotto-Heavens are one of the signs of a Qi tide.

The most critical factors are two: the level of the hurricane and the concentration of Qi in the surrounding area.

The other seven Super First-Grades of Great Zhou all obtained their opportunities to break through from the hurricanes in Grotto-Heavens.

Therefore, the natural disasters caused by Qi tides are also accompanied by opportunities.

After succeeding as Grand Agricultural Official, Zhao Xing immediately began arranging for people to test this, striving to obtain stable data. However, two years have passed, and the test results are not ideal.

The main reason is that the Qi tide phenomena produced in the Grotto-Heavens possessed by Great Zhou are too few and too weak in intensity. Those seven were purely a matter of luck—they just happened to encounter them.

"If we want to seize the opportunities within the Qi tides, we must go to the lands beyond the borders." Zhao Xing pondered. "I will go see His Majesty." "Dean Meng, go urge Deputy Agricultural Engineer Chen Ju to see how his progress is coming along."

"Alright, I will send someone to supervise the work right away." Meng Kun nodded.

Chen Ju is of the Dao-Soldier school and understands how to manufacture precision detection instruments. Zhao Xing approved a project to build a Shangheng Instrument capable of detecting spiritual energy. This instrument is very important; with it, the powerhouses of Great Zhou will find it much easier to search for breakthrough opportunities.

After giving his instructions, Zhao Xing headed straight for the Imperial Palace.

At this moment, Ji Che was again looking at that Book of Destiny in the Imperial Garden. "Your Majesty, the Prince of Zhao has arrived." A guard reported.

"Did I not say that there is no need to announce the Prince of Zhao when he arrives? Who told you to stop him?" Ji Che glanced at the guard. The guard was immediately terrified: "Your Majesty, it, it was the Prince of Zhao who told me to report it."

"Fine, you may go. Invite the Prince of Zhao in." "Yes."

Zhao Xing entered the Imperial Garden and sat opposite Ji Che in a pavilion.

"Fifth Brother, the Qi tides across the Profound Yellow World now possess opportunities for powerhouses in the Life Palace Realm to break through further."

"But the Qi tides are contracting from the periphery of the Profound Yellow World inward, so we must develop while simultaneously deploying troops to the lands beyond the borders."

"Whether by coercion or negotiation, in short, we must strive to allow the powerhouses of Great Zhou to go to the lands beyond the borders to seek opportunities for breakthrough." "We cannot leave these opportunities to others."

Ji Che nodded: "That is what I think as well. As one grows, the other wanes; if we remain indifferent, then even if the opportunities of the Qi tide fall upon Great Zhou in the future, we will have to face the dual threats of natural disasters and man-made calamities."

"However, I have one thing I do not understand, and I ask Big Brother to enlighten me."

Zhao Xing said: "Speak."

"Big Brother, I often contemplate the Book of Destiny and feel that the conditions for ascension are becoming mature; we only need to conquer the Southern Barbarians."

"The legendary era of spiritual energy will arrive in less than a hundred years. Why do you think this is not the true era of spiritual energy, but merely a Qi tide?" "If this is a Qi tide, then it proves my realization is wrong. Then what are the true conditions for ascension?"

Zhao Xing looked at Ji Che's puzzled gaze and fell into thought.

According to the trajectory of his previous life, in the 83rd year of Yuan-Shou, Great Zhou was already preparing to attack the Southern Barbarians.

But in this life, because of his own existence, during the Yuan-Shou years, Great Zhou only had that one battle in the Western Extreme Province that could be considered a major war. Relatively speaking, the intensity was not high, and the duration was not long. To be honest, the fact that Emperor Wu could endure for so long shows he trusted him greatly.

This is because the guidance provided by the Book of Destiny differs significantly from what Zhao Xing has described.

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, when the true era of spiritual energy begins, the entire Profound Yellow World will experience a rain of spiritual energy that will last for decades and cover a vast area!" Zhao Xing pointed his hand, and Qi condensed in the air, constantly changing its shape.

Finally, an umbrella-shaped cover appeared in the air, and an irregularly twisted piece of land also appeared inside it.

Zhao Xing pointed: "Your Majesty, please look. You can roughly think of this as the appearance of the Profound Yellow World, with the Four Pillar Mountains supporting a piece of land floating in the endless universe." "The largest and tallest mountain among them is the Sacred Mountain of the Southern Barbarians."

"The void mist on the outer layer symbolizes the boundary of the Profound Yellow World."

"The end of the land is the ocean, and the ocean also has an end. The four ends can be called the ends of the world, and the water in the ocean will flow into a place called the Land of Return to Ruins." "The Land of Return to Ruins is this umbrella handle, and it is also at the very bottom of the Profound Yellow World's boundary. It is an extremely small piece of land."

"Many nodes on the umbrella canopy are Grotto-Heaven small worlds."

Ji Che had never seen anyone describe the Profound Yellow World this way, so he listened intently. "Your Majesty, let us assume this is a leaking umbrella."

"The stars in the universe can leak in through the countless small holes on the umbrella."

"The larger holes among them became the Sun Star and Moon Star we see, and the smaller holes became the light of the stars." "Your Majesty should know about Qing Yuzi's trial, where a mural titled 'Wind of the Void' once appeared."

Speaking of this, Zhao Xing pointed again, and a dark cloud drifted over from the air, appearing above the umbrella: "Since there is wind, there can naturally be clouds."

"When the cloud layer covers the Profound Yellow World and begins to rain, the rainwater flows in along the holes."

"This rainwater is the vast spiritual energy, carrying the origin of the cosmic void." "When it pours down, the Profound Yellow World enters the era of spiritual energy."

"And now, all the major Grotto-Heavens only have hurricanes and thunder. The thunder is loud, but the rain is small, which proves that this is only a Qi tide." "It is a precursor to that rain of spiritual energy."

After hearing this, Ji Che fell into deep thought and asked: "Since you say it is a precursor, wouldn't the era of spiritual energy also arrive very soon?"

Zhao Xing shook his head: "It is different. Clouds in the universe do not condense easily. On the scale of the universe, it is indeed coming soon. But for us in the Profound Yellow World, we might need to wait another two thousand years." "And a complete cycle takes millions of years, which is why the recovery of spiritual energy is so far apart."

"The Profound Yellow World will experience two different periods: the Qi era and the spiritual energy era."

Emperor Wu felt impacted and asked with some unwillingness in his eyes: "According to your statement, doesn't it mean that my Great Zhou was born at the wrong time, just before the era of spiritual energy is about to arrive? Is ascension just a hollow joy?" The Emperor only has a thousand-year lifespan!

If there is still one or two thousand years after the Qi tide, wouldn't he, Ji Che, have fallen before the dawn?

Looking at the unwilling light in Emperor Wu's eyes, Zhao Xing felt deeply that this was the reason he had been reluctant to explain the details to Ji Che. Knowing such a truth, what emperor could bear it?

Heaven knows if he would be demoralized or fall into madness.

But this time it was different, and Zhao Xing soon said: "It doesn't necessarily have to take that long." "Oh?" Ji Che asked: "I would like to hear the details."

Zhao Xing said: "To answer Your Majesty's second question, which is the requirements for ascension. First, the spiritual energy index of the Profound Yellow World needs to reach five or higher."

"I am already looking for people to try to manufacture a spiritual energy version of the Shangheng Instrument, and I believe the finished product will be out soon."

"Second, at least twenty people in the Dao-Establishing Realm must withstand the Four Directions Tribulation of the Profound Yellow World. The location is the Four Pillar Mountains, and each place must have at least five people resisting the tribulation together." "The third of the Four Pillar Mountains is no longer guarded and is a forbidden area itself. Only the Sacred Mountain of the Southern Barbarians will be obstructed by the Witch Moon God."

"Therefore, the third requirement is to break the land of the Southern Barbarians."

"We must undergo the test of the ascension tribulation here and open the channel for ascension here, because this place is the largest hole on the umbrella canopy." "If Your Majesty wishes to carry out the grand plan of ascension and lead all subjects to ascend, the Southern Barbarians must be conquered."

"Otherwise, there is simply no place large enough to accommodate the 【Boundary Ark】 to go out."

Ji Che was stunned: "What is a Boundary Ark?"

Zhao Xing said: "This involves the fourth condition: take the origin of the world as the core to build a Boundary Ark, and use spiritual energy to condense into crystals as the energy for the core magic array. Only then can we leave the Profound Yellow World and cross the cosmic territories." Ji Che realized: "No wonder when I looked at the historical murals of those ancient divine dynasties, I always saw patterns of flying boats."

Zhao Xing said: "Actually, those patterns left by the ancient divine dynasties did not do what Your Majesty is doing. The small Boundary Arks they built carried at most the basic survival facilities and population of one prefecture." "Building a Boundary Ark is for survival?" Ji Che keenly grasped the key point.

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded, "The Dao-Establishing Realm is known as the Ascension Realm in the universe. Since we have withstood the Four Directions Tribulation, the Ascension Realm can break free from the restrictions of the Profound Yellow World." "Theoretically, one could leave through those tiny holes without bringing so many people."

"What about in reality?" Ji Che asked.

"In reality, it doesn't work." Zhao Xing shook his head: "Your Majesty should know that the higher the cultivation, the greater the consumption of Qi. We cannot absorb Qi or spiritual energy in the universe." "It's like we are setting off to a place to fight a war and need to carry military supplies and rations."

"The universe is vast and barren. Before we reach a territory where spiritual energy is stable and abundant, we need to prepare enough rations and supplies from the Profound Yellow World. Only then can we have hope of reaching a new world." Speaking of this, Zhao Xing couldn't help but recall the scene of ascension in his previous life; warriors, mechanism masters, and agricultural officials were all indispensable. No one could ascend alone to the next map.

And the fewer people in a group that ascends, the harder it is to enter the next instance, because there is no long-lasting ecosystem, and one might even die or lose levels. If one chooses to sleep (log off) to reduce consumption, that is also wasting some cultivation progress after ascension.

After leaving the Profound Yellow World, there are no more bottlenecks, and that is the time to cultivate and accumulate experience. Being slow will cause one to fall behind in the rankings. Ji Che muttered to himself: "So the cosmic territory is actually such a scene."

"I thought that with the stars filling the sky, it was a fairyland everywhere."

Zhao Xing also looked up and said leisurely: "It might have been in the past, but now the Profound Yellow World is just a fish pond about to dry up."

"We fish need to jump out of the water with all our might, jump onto the 'land' without water and bounce around, striving to reach another ocean in the universe before we die." Ji Che was thoughtful: "Qing Yuzi said he came from the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom of the Wild Territory Ancient Kingdom Alliance. Does 'Wild Territory' refer to the barren cosmic territory where the Profound Yellow World is located?"

"Your Majesty is very smart." Zhao Xing smiled: "Yes, the cosmic territory where the Profound Yellow World is located might have once been a region rich in spiritual energy, but with the vicissitudes of the universe, it is now about to become a barren land." "Perhaps in the past, those in the Ascension Realm could sail away in a small boat after withstanding the tribulation, but that is certainly not possible now."

"According to what you say, after the ancient divine courts ascended, not everyone necessarily reached the fairyland and became stronger. It is also possible that..."

"Yes, it is also possible that they turned into withered bones and became a pile of void graves." Zhao Xing said, "And the more selfish the dynasty, the fewer people and materials they carry, the smaller the Boundary Ark they build, and the lower the probability of survival."

"So I say, Your Majesty's wish to lead all the people to ascend is to have grasped the true essence of ascension."

Chatting with Emperor Wu is comfortable. Zhao Xing decided to learn from the players of his previous life and carry out a 'Save the Heavens' plan, mainly because of Emperor Wu himself. Even if he dragged it out to later generations, it wouldn't be more comfortable than it is now.

Being an emperor himself carries too much risk; the Puta Dynasty is a cautionary tale.

If he were to set up a puppet emperor, he would have to worry about everything himself. Where would he find the energy?

Ji Che fell into silence. What Zhao Xing said had too great an impact on him, and he seemed to be digesting it.

This is only possible between Ji Che and Zhao Xing. If it were any other combination, it would likely be seen as spreading heretical ideas and be taken out to be beheaded.

For an emperor who dreams of ascension, the facts Zhao Xing expounded are extremely cruel, and the conditions for ascension listed could almost shatter an emperor's dream of ascension. However, Ji Che is not an ordinary emperor, and he soon recovered. He licked his lips, and divine light flowed in his eyes: "Put this way, I am even more excited."

"If I am to do it, I will do a great undertaking that has no predecessor and no successor!"

"Big Brother, since it is a spiritual energy tide now, it must be very difficult to make the spiritual energy index reach five or higher. However, you should have a plan, right?" "It is very difficult, and it involves three places: the Land of Return to Ruins, the Southern Barbarians, and the Ancient Land of the Dragon Court."

"To collect spiritual energy, one cannot bypass these three locations."

"Even if we can overcome all difficulties and collect enough spiritual energy, what should we do then?" Ji Che asked. Zhao Xing smiled and pointed to the cloud on the umbrella handle: "Fifth Brother, look at it and see if you can think of anything."

"Cloud? Agricultural Official?" Ji Che's eyes suddenly lit up, "Big Brother, do you mean that an Agricultural Official can summon the clouds of that spiritual energy rain in advance?" Zhao Xing smiled: "Correct. Does Your Majesty know what the most important equipment for an Agricultural Official is?"

"It's the Cloud-Rain Bead!" Ji Che blurted out. "The Cloud-Rain Bead that collects the energy of clouds and rain!"

"Indeed!" Zhao Xing stood up, full of spirit, and lit up many places on the large umbrella: "Collect the spiritual energy of the world, gather it in my hands, and based on the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Order, there is a high probability of making that rain of spiritual energy recovery arrive early!" Team ascension is a feature of that mysterious game from his previous life. And the Agricultural Official plays such a role in ascension.

Other professions contribute to work such as collecting spiritual energy, building the Boundary Ark, and warfare. Ji Che is clearly not someone who listens to empty promises, so he immediately asked for details: "How to do it?"

Zhao Xing said: "I just said that reaching the Dao-Establishing Realm and passing the heavenly tribulation provides the conditions to leave the Profound Yellow World."

"At that time, I will choose a channel and use the collected spiritual energy to move clouds above the Profound Yellow World, which can gather the spiritual energy clouds that are condensing around the Profound Yellow World."

"After moving the clouds, it is time to spread the rain."

"A rain of spiritual energy recovery!"

Ji Che looked at Zhao Xing, who was pointing at the mountains and rivers with such high spirits, and couldn't help but stand up excitedly: "Big Brother, if this can be achieved, you shall be the National Master of Great Zhou!" "Hahahaha, forget about being the National Master." Zhao Xing laughed, dispelled these various visions, and sat down with Ji Che again.

"Che, to complete the grand cause of ascension, there are still many difficulties. I need you to have firm confidence, the confidence to break through all obstacles, and absolute trust in me." "Big Brother, rest assured." Ji Che said solemnly: "Life is but a thousand years, like a white horse passing a crack. For such a great undertaking, I will unconditionally stand on your side!"

Zhao Xing smiled, and Ji Che smiled too. The two men's hands were tightly clasped together. A moment later, the two, having calmed down, began to discuss the specific implementation plan.

"The most critical thing now is manpower, that is, the number of powerhouses." Zhao Xing said: "If we do not have the power to sweep across the Profound Yellow World, it will be very difficult to make spiritual energy recover."

Ji Che nodded, "According to Big Brother's statement, in the Qi tide, major forces will seize the opportunity to intercept a large amount of spiritual energy. If we want them to hand it over, we cannot do it without sufficient military force." "Indeed." Zhao Xing smiled, "Not to mention the far ones, that old stubborn Witch Moon God will definitely not ascend with us and will try every means to obstruct us."

"We can unite some people, but this number is destined to be limited. An ascension of the Profound Yellow World is destined not to be able to take everyone away." "Worrying about scarcity rather than inequality; as long as such a situation occurs, there will inevitably be people trying every means to obstruct it."

"But it is too early to talk about unity now. We must have absolute military force before we can talk about these things."

Zhao Xing and Ji Che returned to the initial question, which is the specific execution plan.

"Although this Qi tide is from the outside in and Great Zhou is in an unfavorable geographical position, we can use war, negotiation, coercion, and inducement to send some powerhouses to key locations in the lands beyond the borders to compete for opportunities to break through to the Rule Realm." Ji Che sighed: "It is fortunate that Big Brother became the Grand Agricultural Official."

Originally, after the great battle in the Western Extreme Province, Great Zhou's foreign policy was peaceful development, digesting the benefits obtained from the ruins of the Western Extreme Province, and resisting the natural disasters brought by the tide with all its might. Because the Qi tide summarized by Liu Tianning and his team was not perfect, at least he did not figure out the rule that one could break through from hurricanes.

Therefore, Ji Che and the others believed at the time that Great Zhou taking the opportunity to develop was the best choice and that they should not continue to fight in the short term.

But if they really did that, then in the coming period, the number of powerhouses born in the countries and sects beyond the borders would certainly experience an explosion at some point, and might even exceed Great Zhou. In that case, Great Zhou would be in a very difficult position. Zhao Xing did not follow Ji Che's words to whip the corpse of Liu Tianning; in fact, Old Liu did quite well, just not as well as he did.

Zhao Xing skipped this topic and continued to talk about the specific plan for the recovery plan. "I also need to borrow two divine artifacts from the Imperial Palace treasury. With these two divine artifacts, it will be much more convenient to take people out of the country to seize opportunities." "What divine artifacts?" Ji Che asked.
