Because Jixi Dao is not an important place at all, their Corpse Puppet Sect and the Four Extremes Sect jointly manage this place purely because the Gourd Heaven is a passage to the Great Zhou. \"What could be strange about Jixi Dao?\" Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo asked. They only planted some medicinal herbs for the Dao Profound Pill there; although they are worth some money, it's not much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This disciple has been guarding Jixi Dao, and for the past half month, I have always been able to hear some sounds.\" The protector reporting was as thin as a stick; he recalled carefully: \"Occasionally, I can also see some illusions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean a mirage?\" Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo glanced at the map, revealing a hint of contemplation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" the protector nodded, then shook his head. \"This disciple and others can see those ancient people; they seem to be living, cultivating, and meditating inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At first, this disciple also thought it was a mirage, but gradually, we could hear sounds. These sounds seem to contain some kind of Great Dao, and many disciples have different reactions after hearing them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some have greatly increased their techniques, some have suddenly suffered qi deviation, and some have become insane, worshiping in one direction every day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This disciple asked those people, and some said they heard someone preaching to them...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\" Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo's expression became serious. Such a place fits the description of some ancient dojos. Could it be that Jixi Dao was once a place of cultivation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening carefully, Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo nodded: \"Very good, you may go down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dismissing this protector, Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo called his two disciples, True Monarch Ghost Evil and Fairy Cloud Water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master.\" The two Daoists, one male and one female, arrived quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo then told the two disciples about the Jixi Dao matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ancient dojo?\" Both True Monarch Ghost Evil and Fairy Cloud Water's eyes lit up; both thought of inheritance and treasure at the first moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since the trip to the Dragon Court two hundred years ago, our Corpse Puppet Sect suffered heavy losses in the Ancient Ting Royal City, and our lineage has been greatly squeezed out.\" \"Now Jixi Dao is an opportunity; Master has decided to take you two to explore it together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zhao Xing were here, he would definitely recognize that this is the Purple Luo True Person, Ghost Evil, and Cloud Ji from back then, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three had entered the Dragon Court and tried their best to reach the Ancient Ting Royal City, but the Corpse Puppet Sect's treasury was dug clean by Zhao Xing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This resulted in the three having very little harvest in the Dragon Court, which was not enough to make up for these losses. For these two hundred years, the resources of Purple Luo Peak have been greatly reduced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the current Purple Luo True Person has also been promoted to Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo, and the two disciples, Ghost Evil and Cloud Ji, have also been promoted to first-rank True Persons, only Cloud Ji changed her Dao name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she once exploded a corpse, which was seen as an ominous sign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, I remember that a part of Jixi Dao is still held by people from the Four Extremes Sect. Should we...\" Ghost Evil made a throat-slitting gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it is confirmed that there are treasures appearing, then secretly kill the disciples of the Four Extremes Sect first, and occupy the place before talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, Jixi Dao is not very important, and the people sent by the Four Extremes Sect there are just ants. It doesn't matter if they are killed; at most, pay some money. If it really doesn't work, you can find someone to take the blame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need,\" Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo said. \"The strange phenomenon in Jixi Dao has caused quite a stir. Since we have a protector coming back to report, then the Four Extremes Sect must also have experts who know about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don't see the benefits, don't provoke trouble.\" Four Extremes Sect, Heavenly Gate Divine Hall. The Four Extremes God Venerable looked at the two elders below, \"The people of the Corpse Puppet Sect are not so easy to provoke.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Most of their disciples have a second physical body; even if one is gone, the news will still leak out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Four Images, Five Peaks, you two go and find out the truth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Obey.\" Heavenly Venerable Four Images and Heavenly Venerable Five Peaks disappeared from the spot immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both sects sent experts to check because of the abnormality in Jixi Dao. However, the first to arrive were Zhao Xing, Ye Yukong, the God Luo King, Ji Yun, and Cui Chengzhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The highest rank of the personnel stationed in Jixi Dao usually does not exceed the third rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five entered Jixi Dao, and Zhao Xing cast an invisibility spell, so even if they passed by the disciples of the Corpse Puppet Sect and the Four Extremes Sect, they couldn't be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be careful. If you find anything unusual, don't speak at the first moment, don't even use sound transmission. We are almost there.\" Zhao Xing reached out and pointed, forming words in the void to remind the four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four nodded, their expressions also becoming tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone is a first-rank Life Palace realm expert, and now they indeed feel some unusual places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just half an hour ago, they entered Jixi Dao and encountered an area where they couldn't speak, and even sound transmission didn't work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you ask how they know? Ye Yukong has a first-aid bandage wrapped around his head. Because Ye Yukong spoke, he was the first to be hit. Because he violated the rules, he was suddenly struck by lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning was silent and appeared suddenly; there was no way to know how it was formed. Even when Zhao Xing noticed it, it was already too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, this rule-lightning was not very strong; it was just [No Loud Noise]. Ye Yukong was whispering, not to the extent of being struck to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his head was also struck dizzy, and it even burned off Ye Yukong's elegant hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God Luo King was a bit wronged; he just answered with an 'um', and was also struck. Fortunately, the God Luo King was bald to begin with, so he didn't have such trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now both of them have learned to be obedient, not even daring to whisper, and always kept a trace of attention on Zhao Xing, waiting for his instructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They only dared to walk where Zhao Xing walked, and even their walking movements had to imitate Zhao Xing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a group of cats walking in the snow, with the back cat stepping in the footprints of the front cat. \"It should be right ahead.\" Zhao Xing looked into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A high hillside suddenly appeared in front, and a stone gate was exposed from the mountain body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone gate was already dilapidated, with many cracks appearing, and some eaves and corners of palace walls were also exposed around the stone gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once exquisite carvings on the gate and palace walls were now blurred, and only some strange outlines that looked like people but were not could be vaguely seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eye areas seemed to have deep gazes peeking at every living creature that approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door frame was built of black giant stones, and it was covered with a kind of vine emitting a faint light. These vines seemed to have life, twisting from time to time, making a slight rustling sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is it, Jixi Dojo.\" Zhao Xing reached out, signaling the five people behind to stop, and slowly landed on the ground with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wait here, I will send a clone to check.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ji Yun, if the Heavenly Fortune Gold List has any abnormalities, you must tell me, especially if some ancient characters suddenly appear on the Gold List, you must retreat at the fastest speed.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Yun wrote in the air with a nervous expression: [Ancient characters that appear suddenly? What does that mean? The names on the Heavenly Fortune Gold List all represent people's names. Could it be that resurrection from the dead will happen here?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing did not answer immediately, but used the surrounding grass and wood materials to raise dozens of high-level flying grass people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now his grass person clones can cast spells, using the [Grass and Wood as Soldiers] spell to raise some non-top-level grass people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rustle~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding black vine branches formed grass people. They flew up silently and headed toward the stone gate in front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was very strange; the grass people all had ferocious faces, and the overall tone was black. Coupled with being in a strange place, and Zhao Xing not answering Ji Yun's question, it made the few who were used to life and death feel a bit creepy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zhao Xing sent the grass people to explore the interior of the incomplete dojo, he turned his head and reached out to write, answering Ji Yun's question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yes, the two factors of the tide of spiritual energy and the incomplete dojo make this place turn some past illusions into reality.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Let's call this thing formed by the influence of heaven and earth changes 'Heavenly Puppet'.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Heavenly Puppets appear based on the incomplete dojo. The Dao essence in the dojo retains the master's will. Heavenly Puppets will contain the will of that Jixi Daoist from the past, and may also include his powerful Rule-realm disciples. Let's call this an Earth Puppet.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[If a name you don't understand appears on the Heavenly Fortune Gold List, that means Heavenly Puppets and Earth Puppets have appeared.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You don't need to think too much, just retreat, otherwise it will be troublesome once you are targeted.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the God Luo King was somewhat excited instead. Heaven-made puppets? It really is ingenious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't help but yearn for it; if he could study heaven and earth puppets, maybe he could really break through to the Rule realm here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing's soul was so keen that he immediately noticed the God Luo King's excitement: [God Luo, don't think blindly; you can't catch heaven and earth puppets, don't think about studying them.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a joke, Heavenly Puppets already possess part of the power of the Dao-establishing realm, and Earth Puppets also have part of the power of the Rule realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this something a small Life Palace realm expert can study? He was just afraid that the God Luo King would see the hunt and be happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Yukong gestured in front of the God Luo King: [I'm asking you, don't be impulsive; it's easy for you mechanism masters to be unable to move when you see puppets.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God Luo King glared at him: [Heard it, take care of yourself!] Zhao Xing continued to control the clones to move forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking into the dojo area, what came into view was a desolate square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground was paved with huge bluestone slabs, but now most of the slabs were broken, and a kind of blood-red moss grew in the cracks. These mosses flickered with eerie light in the dark, as if it were fresh blood seeping out of the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the square was a huge stone platform. The surface of the stone platform was covered with deep scratches and dried bloodstains, and some broken stone statues were scattered around the stone platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heads of these stone statues were nowhere to be found, leaving only incomplete bodies. Their postures were twisted, as if they were suffering great pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some halls had already appeared inside the dojo, but most had collapsed halfway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many huge holes in the walls of the halls, and from the holes, one could see that it was pitch black inside, and occasionally a pair of green eyes would flicker in the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were some strange symbols on the roof of the hall flickering with faint light, and these symbols seemed to be telling an ancient and terrible curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of Zhao Xing's clones suddenly exploded, and even the soul power was annihilated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Zhao Xing outside snorted coldly, shaking the illusions in his soul away. He wrote quickly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Rule 1: Do not look directly into the eyes in the dark.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[In the dark places of the dojo, there are often green or ghostly blue eyes peeking.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Do not look at them. Once you look at them, you will find that your line of sight cannot move away. These eyes will gradually invade your consciousness, letting you see the scenes you fear most. Your soul will be swallowed by fear, and your body will be fixed in place.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Yun, Ye Yukong, Cui Chengzhi, and the God Luo King all carefully remembered these words written by Zhao Xing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Rule 2: Stay away from flickering symbols.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The mysterious symbols flickering on the roofs and walls of the halls seem to be just a strange light and shadow, but they are actually an ancient seal.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[When you get within a certain distance of these symbols, the power of the seal will be disturbed, and some sealed power may be released. These powers will attack you in various forms, such as turning into a gale to roll you into endless darkness, or distorting the space around you, causing various parts of your body to be displaced.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Rule 3: Do not touch the blood-red moss.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The blood-red moss in the cracks of the square slabs is an extremely dangerous existence. Even if you just touch it lightly, the moss will quickly climb onto your body, and its red color will spread to your skin, like a burning flame. This red color will gradually erode your vitality, making your body weak and powerless. At the same time, you will hear countless cries echoing in your mind, and these cries will disturb your mind, making you fall into madness.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Rule 4: The stone platform in the center of the square is a safe area, but do not stay on the stone platform in the center of the square for more than two hours.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The stone platform is the worship place of the dojo, but it is also one of the most dangerous places. If you stay on the stone platform for more than a certain amount of time, you will feel a powerful suction force coming from inside the stone platform, which will pull your soul out of your body. Once it exceeds two hours, you will be trapped on the stone platform forever.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soul in Zhao Xing's mind fluctuated violently, but he still supported himself to write these words. Soon, the grass people in the dojo basically disintegrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoo whoo~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing's soul fluctuations became more and more intense, and soon the soul in his Departing Fire clone was also seriously affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I will send another clone]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Halfway through writing, the Departing Fire clone also collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four people's pupils shook violently; they didn't expect that Zhao Xing just sent grass people in, and it had such a big impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Southern Gourd Heaven, Northern City Delta base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing's original body opened his eyes, and the Three Gods Life Palace crushed the illusions in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grand Minister of Agriculture, what's wrong with you?\" Qin Feng seemed to notice something and suddenly appeared at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's nothing,\" Zhao Xing shook his head, then reached out and summoned, and several Dragon Spirit clones and Departing Fire clones appeared, \"Please ask General Qin to send someone to send my clones over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\" Qin Feng was somewhat surprised, but didn't say anything. He didn't know that an incomplete dojo had appeared in Jixi Dao of the Northern Gourd Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clones arrived at Jixi Dao again, and it was already noon two days later. At this time, Zhao Xing clearly felt that there were more people in Jixi Dao. \"Soul Heavenly Vision!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing's soul left his body, as if melting into heaven and earth, observing everything around him, and his consciousness spread rapidly in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after spreading only ten thousand meters, he felt a violent resistance. \"Accelerated birth, withdraw!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing's consciousness instantly withdrew into the clone's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, in all directions of Jixi Dao, a whirlwind blew up. They appeared abruptly, and the wind level was very small, but this is a sign that the opportunity is coming!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eight whirlwinds, eventually they will become stronger and stronger, and then converge toward the central dojo. This is the Dao that wants to erase the Jixi Dojo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason why Zhao Xing wanted to spare no effort to waste precious clone materials to explore clearly is because he was afraid that there would be discrepancies between this place and what he knew in his previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as there is a slight difference, Ye Yukong and the others might die. Zhao Xing would rather be stable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The clone is broken, it's nothing more than spending a little more money. As long as it's a problem that can be solved with money, it's not a problem. Eh? I can actually say such things, it's really not easy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing sighed, and then quickly rushed to the coordinates of Ye Yukong and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Yun saw Zhao Xing's name appear on the Heavenly Fortune Gold List, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. She grabbed a piece of meat and ate it in big mouthfuls, while writing on the ground: [The Grand Minister of Agriculture is coming, is there enough food above the seventh rank?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>God Luo King: [My seventh-rank food supply can still last for half a month.] Cui Chengzhi: [Me too.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Yukong: [I'm going to start eating eighth-rank supplies.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Yun waved her hand and sent a bamboo box to Ye Yukong. Because the range of the incomplete dojo was expanding, they were soon affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the first day of the Mao hour after Zhao Xing's clone exploded, they encountered the first rule: Fine Eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice kept reminding them to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first day was fine, just eating three times at the Mao, Wu, and Wei hours was enough to pass. But on the second day, the number of [Fine Eating] increased from three times to three hundred times! If you don't eat, you will suffer rule punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine Eating also has requirements for the food itself; slightly lower quality won't work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Yun just saw a team of sect disciples being struck to death by lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Chengzhi: [This is too strange. The Fine Eating rule on the first day was still normal. The food supplement time stipulated by the Jixi Daoist suddenly deformed into this, it's simply outrageous.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three hundred times, after this day, don't do anything else, just eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem is that you can't fake eat, just chewing won't work, you have to eat it into your stomach, you can't waste it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for the fact that these people all have the ability to digest quickly, eating so much food equivalent to their own realm, they would be stuffed to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Yukong: [It's fortunate that you only need to eat; if you had to eat while sleeping, that would be the end.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the words were finished, a voice appeared in their ears, and the voice seemed to have magic, urging them to be sleepy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Chengzhi was speechless and immediately grabbed the food and started to run. [Grass!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[What a crow's mouth!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God Luo King and Ji Yun also ran with boxes in fear, wanting to exit the range of the dojo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But people can't outrun the rules. Soon, the four of them didn't sleep, and they suffered rule punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I'll block it!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Yukong waved his long sword, fell behind, and the sword domain rippled out, covering the other three inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Click!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top-level sixth-rank sword domain blocked the four heavenly thunders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it was not a must-die punishment, Ye Yukong, who had experience, successfully blocked the impact of the heavenly thunder on his companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish swish swish~ The four retreated quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quarter of an hour later, Ji Yun's face suddenly changed, and she blurted out subconsciously: \"Bad, the Heavenly Fortune Gold List has ancient characters that I don't understand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God Luo King suddenly looked back, his pupils shrinking. Because behind them, a black shadow appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black shadow chased after them, taking a step out, as if shrinking the ground into an inch, instantly crossing a distance of three thousand meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrifying pressure appeared, and a black wind shrouded Ye Yukong. Just when they were about to be caught up by this monster comparable to the Rule realm—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Swish swish swish swish~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five fiery red figures appeared beside them. The next moment, one of the fiery red figures was beaten to pieces by the black shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other four took the four people and disappeared, leaving only four wisps of faint clouds in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the dojo, on a hillside, Zhao Xing appeared with the four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After landing, Zhao Xing asked: \"What's going on, why did you run into an Earth Puppet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Yukong was indignant: \"Damn! What kind of broken place is this? We don't sleep, and we still have to be beaten by Earth Puppets. What's wrong with the Jixi Daoist? His disciples don't sleep, and he still sends people to check the dormitory!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Chengzhi laughed: \"I think it's because you were too heroic, continuously blocking several rule punishments, which is why you attracted the Earth Puppet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Yun shook her head: \"It's also because our luck was too bad; the areas affected by these rules are not fixed.\" She could feel that there was a group of sect disciples of only the fourth or fifth rank a few thousand meters away, but these people didn't have anything to do even if they didn't sleep. Clearly, the area they were in was not affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God Luo King was staring at the direction of the Earth Puppet in a daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"God Luo King.\" Zhao Xing noticed his abnormality: \"Do you have any feelings?\" \"Yes,\" the God Luo King took a deep breath, \"Just now I had a palpitation in my heart, feeling that the place where the Earth Puppet was born is the opportunity for my breakthrough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don't I have it?\" Ye Yukong was a bit puzzled. \"Neither do I.\" Cui Chengzhi and Ji Yun both shook their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing pondered: \"It's normal. When the origin triggered by the tide of spiritual energy begins to erase the Dao of the dojo, all kinds of creations will be born.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can regard this as a kind of heaven and earth spirit, it's an exclusive limited version.\" \"The area where the Earth Puppet is located may have an opportunity for a mechanism master to break through.\" A hint of desire surged in the God Luo King's eyes: \"Grand Minister of Agriculture, can we go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing closed his eyes, a map appeared in his mind, and then he took out the almanac to check the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can go, but we have to wait.\" \"How long?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pushing back eight hours from the time the Earth Puppet appeared, there should be no situation of multiple rule overlaps, and there will be a window period of relatively low risk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Ji Yun's expression moved, and she glanced at the Heavenly Fortune Gold List: \"Grand Minister of Agriculture, sect experts are coming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo of the Corpse Puppet Sect, True Person Ghost Evil, Fairy Cloud Water. Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo is at the first-rank perfection, and the latter two are at the first-rank late stage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing blinked: \"Why do these names sound familiar?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Yukong laughed: \"You forgot, we dug up a lot of the Corpse Puppet Sect's treasury in the Ancient Ting Royal City, and one big treasury was dug up in front of Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo, but at that time he was still at the second-rank realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God Luo King nodded: \"I also remember them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course I remember, the trip to Ancient Ting Royal City, the God Luo King got a divine artifact, at that time he didn't even think about taking other people's treasures to buy things from Yin Xiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it's them.\" Zhao Xing realized, and also remembered those three unlucky ghosts. \"Don't worry about them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's normal for people to come, I even hope they come more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the situation here in Jixi Dao, if the sect world wants to figure out these rules and regulations, I don't know how many lives will be filled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waiting for eight hours, Zhao Xing was not idle. He took out a ring and handed it to the God Luo King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is this?\" \"Ring of Secondary Life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Zhao Xing took out was the old grandfather ring he got when he broke through Fairy Su's level. \"My grass person exploded two days ago, and I wasn't by your side. You were still too dangerous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This soul artifact contains a wisp of my soul. Even if my grass people are all exploded, you can talk to me at any time through the Ring of Secondary Life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing also has a stronger soul ring for escaping, but there is no need to waste it here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight hours later, Zhao Xing took the four to set off again, entered the stone gate, and came to the interior of the dojo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After turning the corner, Zhao Xing was suddenly stunned. As for the four people behind him, they didn't dare to breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they saw the Earth Puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Puppet was swimming on the dilapidated square. He seemed to have no physical body and passed through the wreckage on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And fifty meters in front of him, there were five high-rankers wearing Four Extremes Sect costumes, trembling and cultivating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside them were three smoking corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meditate, cultivate.\" Zhao Xing suddenly stopped and sat down cross-legged. Ye Yukong, Cui Chengzhi, Ji Yun, and the God Luo King sat down immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a Heavenly Fortune realm expert who was cultivating in the Four Extremes Sect suddenly exploded and died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This, aren't they also cultivating? How...\" The God Luo King only felt his scalp tingling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also leads to death? Simply!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing immediately transmitted: \"Concentrate on cultivation, practice anything, but concentrate!\" After being reminded, the four people's breathing suddenly began to become even.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Da da da~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, there was a sound approaching, and a terrifying pressure followed. But the four were all determined people, and they absolutely trusted Zhao Xing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So even if the Earth Puppet floated past them, he didn't look at them more, and they concentrated on running their cultivation techniques to breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their will was firm, but the remaining four people of the Four Extremes Sect couldn't stand it! \"Swish~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A second-rank Heavenly Fortune realm expert tried to escape from here. \"Swish~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Puppet's gaze immediately looked over. \"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, this expert of the Four Extremes Sect exploded directly, and bones, flesh, and blood were scattered all over the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True, look at it and you will explode!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining three people were even more afraid. Time passed minute by minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later, the Earth Puppet's figure finally went away and no longer stared here. The three people of the Four Extremes Sect finally breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the elders, seeing that the people here with Zhao Xing were intact, immediately arched his hands and said: \"Several generals, are you from the Great Zhou? I am Chen Song, Life Palace realm perfection, and the two beside me are my junior brothers. Zhang Liang, Peng Bo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing glanced at it; except for Chen Song who was in the Life Palace realm, the other two were only at the second-rank perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring him, Zhao Xing took the people and continued to walk forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior brother, what should we do?\" Zhang Liang's voice was trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Follow them,\" Chen Song gritted his teeth. \"These people can't die in vain, we must find out about this place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see they are safe and sound, I'm afraid they know something. Whatever they do, we will follow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing led the people forward. After turning a street, he saw strangers again. \"It's the people of the Corpse Puppet Sect, a total of fifteen people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are lucky,\" Ye Yukong transmitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Zhao Xing, it is now a weak cycle, and the danger on the periphery is greatly reduced, so they can successfully enter the core area of the dojo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It may not be luck. The Corpse Puppet Sect and the Four Extremes Sect originally had people stationed in Jixi Dao. The abnormality here is not a day or two. I'm afraid there were some disciples who summarized something,\" Zhao Xing transmitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even so, the Corpse Puppet Sect must have died a lot of people,\" Ji Yun glanced at the Heavenly Fortune Gold List, \"That person named Ghost Evil disappeared from the list.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the few were chatting, True Person Cloud Water beside Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo also saw Zhao Xing's group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, look, is that Zhao Xing?\" \"Hmph, it really is him.\" A hint of hatred flashed in Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo's eyes. It was Zhao Xing who stole their Corpse Puppet Sect's savings in the Ancient Ting Royal City back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't expect that people from the Great Zhou would also come. It seems there really is treasure here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, our people have been stationed here for a long time. In front of those strange rules, people from the Great Zhou are purely sending themselves to death.\" Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo had a hint of pleasure in his eyes. \"It's a pity that Zhao Xing is not here in his original body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zhao Xing's original body came, it would be great; maybe he could die here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a while, Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo immediately transmitted: \"Prince Zhao, long time no see, I didn't expect you to come too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing saw Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo take the initiative to greet him, how could he not know what this old guy was thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm afraid he wants to pit himself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it's the Treasure-Sending Heavenly Venerable, why does your Corpse Puppet Sect also have a treasury here?\" \"\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo was poked in the lung tube and felt a bit angry. However, thinking of the next rules, he still maintained communication with Zhao Xing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, this is the station of our Corpse Puppet Sect. Prince Zhao, God Luo King, Mansion Master Moon, if you want to come, why sneak around? Just say it. As a dignified Grand Minister of Agriculture, why do you only do some shameful things?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing retorted unceremoniously: \"For people like you, what morality and righteousness are there to talk about? Are you worthy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, even if we are not worthy, the Great Zhou has now reached a peace agreement with the Sect Alliance. You come uninvited like this, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or is it that your Great Zhou's Emperor can't control you ministers?\" Purple Luo said this heart-stabbing language, trying to anger Zhao Xing's group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he silently counted down the time in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are ten breaths left before it's time to forbid speaking!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He made up his mind to stimulate the other party, and in the second before the rule arrived, he would stop speaking, which could lead the other party to commit a foul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing snorted coldly, not falling for it at all. Before the rule arrived, he stopped transmitting and just wrote two words in the air with his hand: [Idiot]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the trick was seen through and being ruthlessly mocked by the other party, Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo was suddenly furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this time, Zhao Xing suddenly made a move, casting a spell toward the runes on the palace and walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He deliberately made a move to attract the attention of Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo and others. The other party really subconsciously looked in the direction Zhao Xing hit. \"Buzz~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dilapidated holes on the palace and palace walls, the gloomy and dark areas, suddenly lit up with pairs of green outlines that looked like eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A third-rank elder behind Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo was immediately attacked by the illusions in the eyes and made a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo and True Person Cloud Water were shocked and hurriedly wanted to stop it, but it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly thunder crossed from the top of his head, and this disciple died immediately. [Bastard!!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo was furious, but didn't dare to say a word, and could only write wildly to scold people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he was almost affected just now, and his mind was affected by those strange eyes. Unfortunately, Zhao Xing didn't look at him at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three experts of the Four Extremes Sect, Chen Song, Zhang Liang, and Peng Bo, were also complaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They really wanted to beat Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo up. Why did you provoke others for no reason? Almost implicated us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they didn't dare to have any movement and could only walk on tiptoe. The surroundings soon became quiet again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three groups of people moved forward silently in the dojo, and soon saw another square. The ground of the square was covered with blood moss, which looked like it was not a good thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was cautious not to touch it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a stone platform in all four directions of the square, and the Earth Puppet stood in front of a relatively complete palace in the east.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God Luo King couldn't help but cover his chest, his expression excited. He wrote in a staggered way, telling everyone: This is it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing looked in the direction indicated by the God Luo King, and saw a pale golden light group floating on the roof of the palace behind the Earth Puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heaven and earth spirit, it seems that it is not very intense yet.\" Zhao Xing thought to himself. \"However, this may also be because my induction is not strong enough, because it is an exclusive heaven and earth spirit for a limited profession.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing asked the God Luo King: [Do you think it is the time to pick it?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the God Luo King was excited, he felt it carefully and shook his head: [Very close, but not enough.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing nodded. At this time, the eight hurricanes had not yet approached, which meant that this heaven and earth spirit needed time to cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is not easy to survive here, but no one retreated. Zhao Xing's group quickly occupied the stone platform area to the east.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Song, Zhang Liang, and Peng Bo of the Four Extremes Sect followed suit and occupied the stone platform in the south.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo didn't know the situation, because his people hadn't walked here before, but seeing Zhao Xing and the people of the Four Extremes Sect doing this, he ran to the area of the stone platform in the west.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm? Can speak, is this a safe area that isolates rules?\" Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo was quite surprised, because he found that Zhao Xing actually knew more than them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did this person do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo stared at Zhao Xing's direction, and he also made up his mind, like Chen Song and the others, to follow Zhao Xing's actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The time to wait for the spirit to mature is very long. Every two hours, Zhao Xing would let people take turns to go out of the safe zone, reset the time to stay in the safe zone, and then enter to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Heavenly Venerable Purple Luo and the others spent another life to figure this out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Zhao Xing arranged for people to look around the surroundings casually, no one thought that you couldn't stay around the stone platform for too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting for half a month, the God Luo King suddenly said: \"It's okay, I can feel it, the time has come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing's clone in the square was immediately withdrawn. \"Wait for me here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Yukong was curious: \"Can the Earth Puppet talk?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because after Zhao Xing's clone walked out of the stone platform, he ran to the Earth Puppet. Because they had been chased, they all had shadows of the Earth Puppet, but Zhao Xing walked to the Earth Puppet openly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Yun and Cui Chengzhi pricked up their ears to listen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Zhao Xing was writing, and he was writing the words that could be seen everywhere in the Jixi Dojo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, when the rules arrived, they couldn't understand the sounds, but as Life Palace realm experts who mastered the domain, they could understand the content because it was conveyed through the Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, now Zhao Xing used the words here, seemingly in dialogue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Grand Minister of Agriculture mastered the words here in such a short time?\" Ji Yun couldn't help but sigh: \"It's really a genius.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I suspect he can also speak the language here. Didn't Qing Yuzi come here?\" Cui Chengzhi laughed. \"Awesome!\" Ye Yukong gave a thumbs up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Zhao Xing also successfully communicated with the Earth Puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Big Senior Brother, I want to enter the True Transmission Hall, I don't know what the requirements are?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Puppet saw the words in the air and couldn't help but look back at Zhao Xing. His eyeballs were deep and dark, unlike human eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke directly, seemingly in an ancient language: \"If you want to enter the True Transmission Hall, you must complete a cross-level challenge to prove yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing pondered, then glanced at the spirit on the roof, and retreated. \"How is it, how is it, what did he say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just asked the Earth Puppet what the conditions for entering are.\" \"And then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He said he needs to complete a cross-level challenge to prove himself.\" \"Ah?\" Ye Yukong and the God Luo King were somewhat disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are already Life Palace realm experts, and still cross-level challenge? Doesn't that mean they have to fight the Rule realm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This requirement is too outrageous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't forget that the rules here have deformed.\" Zhao Xing laughed: \"God Luo King, go find a third-rank of the Corpse Puppet Sect and kill one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\" The God Luo King was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He only said cross-level challenge, he didn't say upward cross-level.\" Zhao Xing spread his hands. \"Downward cross-level is also cross-level, why doesn't it count?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four were stunned, can you still play like this?\u003C\u002Fp>",6569,"2026-06-17T16:13:11.118Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","94fe53faeaa0ca54502fb31c18c84dfb2aa08623e5eb1c8e633d6f3526ddcd48","shennong-dao-lord-chapter-342","shennong-dao-lord-chapter-340",666,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshennong-dao-lord-cover.jpg"]
