Chapter 361: Cultivation Realms in the Universe, the Bitter Experience of the Xia Dynasty

The Profound Yellow World had been "destroyed." Among those present, only three people knew the truth: Zhao Xing, Ji Che, and Yun Tiandao.

The rest were completely stunned.

"The Profound Yellow World... exploded?" Lu Ying's face turned deathly pale. "This, how could this happen..."

"Is, is it because we mined away too much matter?" Chen Ju was filled with guilt, his body trembling.

"We... can't go back," Mi Fu muttered to himself.

"Our homeland is gone," Liu Tianning's eyes dimmed.

"It should have been me who died, Tianzhi..." Ling Tianchen closed his eyes in agony.

"Sigh..."

Everyone displayed varying degrees of sorrow, guilt, and shock.

Even Yun Tiandao and Ji Che, who knew the inside story, were somewhat shaken.

They had heard Zhao Xing speak of the "Hidden Rupture Illusion," but they hadn't expected it to be verified only half a year after leaving.

"Your Majesty, fellow ministers, do not grieve excessively. We still have many matters to attend to; for the sake of the people within the World Boat, we must pull ourselves together as soon as possible," Zhao Xing said.

"Oh, yes." Ji Che also reined in his emotions. "Lu Ying, close the observation deck here. Everyone else, return to your duties."

"Yes."

"This subject takes their leave."

"Your Majesty, take care; do not be overly sentimental."

The ministers took their leave one after another, some even offering words of comfort to Ji Che.

Once most had left, Ji Che and Yun Tiandao shifted their positions simultaneously, following Zhao Xing to a private area.

"Brother, the things you spoke of have truly been verified!" Ji Che was somewhat agitated. "The Profound Yellow World was not destroyed?"

"Indeed," Zhao Xing nodded.

"Why?" Yun Tiandao pressed. "Why would such a phenomenon occur?"

"Do not pursue this further." Zhao Xing pointed toward the heavens. "This matter involves deep secrets. Qing Yuzi was hunted down precisely because of this. His enemies may still be alive, and I fear being targeted if I say too much."

"It is only because I have cultivated the Three-God Life Palace that I dare to reveal even this much to you. From this day forward, it is best you bury this matter in your hearts and never mention it to anyone."

In truth, the will had never mentioned any such thing; Zhao Xing was simply using it as a scapegoat.

However, Qing Yuzi already carried enough blame, so one more didn't matter.

Ji Che and Yun Tiandao exchanged glances, then nodded, indicating they would not bring it up again.

"Brother, I am very curious: just how terrifying are the powerhouses in the universe?"

Zhao Xing thought for a moment, then reached out a finger, and a three-dimensional star map appeared above their heads.

"To speak of cultivation realms, one must first understand where we are."

"This is the map left behind by Qing Yuzi."

"The Profound Yellow World is located in the Chenluo Desolate Domain."

"The Chenluo Desolate Domain belongs to one of the desolate star system belts within the Xuanling Star Domain of the Ancient River Realm."

Yun Tiandao was thoughtful. "Does the Desolate Domain correspond to a Spirit Domain? Does 'Xuanling Star Domain' refer to a region in the universe filled with spiritual energy?"

Zhao Xing nodded. "Yes. The Ancient River Realm contains countless spiritual star domains, and the Xuanling Star Domain is one of them."

"A Realm is a collection of spiritual star domains and is currently the boundary of the known universe."

"In reality, this boundary is still expanding. Qing Yuzi once heard rumors that the Ancient River Realm is merely one realm within a larger concept called the 'Universal Domain'."

If Qing Yuzi were still alive, he would surely be gratified: *Old fellow, if you keep talking like this for a few more years, I'm afraid I'll become a universal know-it-all!

Zhao Xing continued, "In the Ancient River Realm, there are countless spiritual star domains inhabited by many cross-domain powers. Such as the Desolate Domain Ancient Kingdom Alliance, the Primeval Mound, the Red Star Empire, the Origin Heavenly Palace, the Reincarnation Temple, and so on."

"However, cross-domain groups are too far away, with many desolate domains or even dead domains in between. Our mobility is too weak; let us not think of traveling across domains for now."

"Just speaking of the Xuanling Star Domain where we are, there are countless civilizations, billions upon billions of races, and boundary stars that are impossible to count; until now, they haven't been fully explored."

"In reality, the territory of the Desolate Domain Ancient Kingdom Alliance alone is boundless. The Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom where Qing Yuzi resided contains countless boundary stars—small worlds like the Profound Yellow World."

"In the Xuanling Star Domain, the influence of the human race and other races is roughly a 4-6 split."

Zhao Xing mused, "Qing Yuzi said his homeland, the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, was only mid-to-upper tier among ancient kingdoms, not a 'top-tier great power'."

Ji Che took a deep breath. "Brother, does that mean our homeland belongs to: Ancient River Realm — Xuanling Star Domain — Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom — Chenluo Desolate Domain — Profound Yellow Star System — Profound Yellow World?"

Zhao Xing shook his head. "To be precise, the Chenluo Desolate Domain does not belong to the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom; it is merely a star system belt distributed within the Xuanling Star Domain. This place is ownerless."

"Of course, according to the route we are taking, we will eventually appear within the territory of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom."

"Are there multiple routes?" Yun Tiandao asked.

"Yes," Zhao Xing nodded.

In reality, the star route he was taking now was different from his previous life. In his past life, Zhao Xing had taken another direction through the Chenluo Desolate Domain.

After experiencing about 8, 00 years of slumber, he had appeared in a spiritual energy territory. That route led to the frontier of the "Red Star Empire."

Of course, players who ascended later discovered many "Star Paths" one after another.

One could discover the Chenluo Desolate Domain; as long as one did not head toward the "Death Star Road," one would eventually appear within the borders of eight major powers: the Red Star Empire, the Lingyan Ancient Kingdom, the Tianfeng Ancient Kingdom, the Cangyue Demon Kingdom, the Hailuo Dynasty, the Tianyuan Star Alliance, the Lanhai Dynasty, and the Earth God Palace.

If one headed toward the Death Star Road, the final result was a dead end, and one could only restart. Because this desolate domain belt not only traversed the territory of the eight major powers but also extended beyond the "Xuanling Star Domain."

"In the Xuanling Star Domain, those called 'Dynasties' generally do not have much territory and have existed for a short time. Their footing is unstable, and they are usually relatively weak," Zhao Xing said.

"Like our Great Zhou?" Ji Che asked.

"Uh, no." Zhao Xing was a bit embarrassed. "This weakness is relative. To be on the list of powers in the Xuanling Star Domain means they have made a name for themselves. They occupy at least ten thousand boundary stars or small worlds, while our Great Zhou can at most be considered a boundary-star-level power."

"Meaning it's about the same as a bandit stronghold," Yun Tiandao added a jab.

"..." Ji Che was speechless. How did he, an Emperor, get demoted to a mountain bandit king upon reaching the universe?

"No matter. I believe that in the near future, the Great Zhou will surely stand at the pinnacle of the Xuanling Star Domain."

"Indeed, as long as there is faith, it will surely be achieved!" Zhao Xing was very supportive.

"Does 'Ancient Kingdom' mean they have existed for a long time and are powerful?" Yun Tiandao continued to ask.

"Yes. Anything called an 'Ancient Kingdom' is to distinguish them from those fleeting dynasties and powerful nations," Zhao Xing said. "They must have existed for at least ten epochs, occupy at least one star system, and possess over a million inhabited boundary stars. Only by meeting these two points can they be considered an Ancient Kingdom."

Ji Che's eyes widened. Only then did he have some concept of what Zhao Xing had just said.

To possess a million Profound Yellow Worlds was the minimum threshold for an Ancient Kingdom? And in the Xuanling Star Domain, that was surely the weakest of the nations!

"The road of entrepreneurship is long and arduous." Ji Che felt a pang of emotion, but such a vast stage only strengthened his conviction. "I must work hard to make the Great Zhou an Ancient Kingdom!"

"There are about a hundred Ancient Kingdoms in the Xuanling Star Domain," Zhao Xing said. "There are countless dynasties, but dynasties with over ten thousand boundary stars are considered relatively strong, though their foundations are still insufficient."

"Returning to what we said at the beginning, the Red Star Empire, the Reincarnation Temple, the Primeval Mound, and the Origin Heavenly Palace are all cross-domain super-powers. They are transcendent, having influence not only in the Xuanling Star Domain but also in other spiritual star domains."

"Of course, if the Desolate Domain Ancient Kingdom Alliance is counted as a whole, it can also be considered a cross-domain super-power."

"Wait a moment." Yun Tiandao was puzzled. "Why is it called the 'Desolate Domain Ancient Kingdom Alliance' instead of the 'Ancient Kingdom Alliance'? Or perhaps the 'Xuanling Ancient Kingdom Alliance'?"

Zhao Xing said, "This involves the environment of the Xuanling Star Domain."

"A long time ago, about thirty epochs ago, powers like the Red Star Empire, the Reincarnation Temple, the Primeval Mound, and the Origin Heavenly Palace discovered that the Xuanling Star Domain was experiencing a 'Desolate Domain-ization phenomenon'."

"Due to constant warfare within the Xuanling Star Domain, this situation became increasingly severe. Thus, these super-powers referred to these ancient kingdoms as 'Ancient Kingdoms in the Desolate Domain' and spread a prophecy: in no more than 100 epochs, the desolate domain would spread throughout the entire territory, and in 1, 00 epochs, the entire Xuanling Star Domain would no longer be suitable for any great nation to survive."

Ji Che suddenly understood. "In other words, a death notice was issued for the Xuanling Star Domain?"

Zhao Xing nodded. "Correct. Later, the Desolate Domain Ancient Kingdom Alliance was established, and they began to devote a portion of their energy to the environmental problems of their own star domain."

"However, fighting still occurs. It is common for yesterday's sworn allies to be at the gates with troops today."

"Only when dealing with foreign races or invasions from other spiritual star domains will they temporarily cease fighting and act in unison."

Peace is impossible. Environmental problems? What does that have to do with me? My dynasty's subjects can't even get enough to eat, are trapped at home, and can't roam the universe—why should I care about what happens 1, 00 epochs from now?

Zhao Xing had never heard of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom in his previous life. He felt that this Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom was likely destroyed in the wars.

Of course, there was no need to tell Ji Che and the others this for now. First, they had to get out and find out exactly what the situation was.

Hearing Zhao Xing say this, a deep worry welled up in Yun Tiandao's brow.

If boundary-star-level powers are so hard to survive in, what has become of the Great Xia Dynasty since it ascended an epoch ago? Are they struggling in dire straits?

He was just about to ask when he heard Zhao Xing speak again:

"Alright, Qing Yuzi only said this much. Let us now speak of the cultivation realms in the universe."

"Above the Ascension Realm is the Origin Realm."

"The Origin stage is divided into three major realms."

"The first realm is the 'Nascent Realm'," Zhao Xing said leisurely. "To explain the mysteries of the Origin Realm, one must speak from two perspectives."

"One is the path of those skilled in magic, emphasizing spells, the soul, and the path of magic that perceives the mysteries of the universe."

"The second is the path of those skilled in martial arts, emphasizing the physical body, developing the body's potential, and constantly raising the upper limit of the physical body."

"Because at this step of the Dao-Establishing Realm, the martial path and the magic path have already diverged greatly, and the promotion and power systems are vastly different."

"For example, in martial Dao-Establishing, the soul and body have already merged; the body is the soul, and the soul is the body. To kill a martial artist, one must destroy their physical body to thoroughly kill them."

"Correspondingly, for a martial artist to level up, the physical body must level up; that is the leveling up of the realm."

"In the magic path, both the soul and the body must level up, but the conditions for the body to level up are much easier; it only needs to be able to contain the spiritual energy corresponding to the realm."

Ji Che nodded. "I understand this. If the body is compared to a house, the martial artist's house is more solid and reliable, able to withstand wind and rain."

"The mage's house only needs to be habitable; it is flashy but lacks substance."

"Correct," Zhao Xing nodded. "Because mages frequently change houses, the focus is on the soul and the perceived Dao-magic; there is no need for it to be so hard."

"The most frequent house-changers can be said to be the puppet masters among the mechanism masters."

"Of course, regardless of which path, the essence is the use of spiritual energy origin, just with different methods and different emphases."

"The physical body of a martial artist in the Nascent Realm is as hard as a Star-level Dao Weapon. Even a Sword Sect member is incredibly hard." Zhao Xing said. "If it is a Qi Sect member, it is even more outrageous. A magic practitioner could attack a hundred times, and the opponent might not necessarily die."

"But a martial practitioner hitting a magic practitioner once could explode their body and capture the magic practitioner's soul."

"Either to be used for refining weapons or to be sold for money."

"Sold for money?" Yun Tiandao was stunned. "This can also be sold for money?"

"Of course," Zhao Xing said. "Soul-summoning banners also exist in the universe. Moreover, weapon refiners love the souls of powerhouses the most. Doesn't the sacrificial flow have drawbacks? Sacrificing others' souls has no such problems."

"..."

Ji Che was puzzled. "Doesn't that mean magic professions are at a disadvantage? One mistake, and the person is gone."

Zhao Xing shook his head. "On the contrary, the base of martial artists is far larger than that of mages. The magic path is not something one can walk just because one wants to; it requires talent."

"Moreover, the magic path has many means of self-preservation. If the physical body is exploded, the soul is not so easily captured. Even if captured, in most cases, it is only a split soul; it is relatively rare for the main soul to be captured."

"It is universally acknowledged in the universe that, generally speaking, the attack power of magic professions exceeds that of martial artists, but in terms of survival ability, martial professions exceed magic professions."

"When trapped in a desperate situation, a martial artist with a powerful body can endure for a long time, while a mage can easily die."

"In terms of poison resistance, disease resistance, and tribulation resistance, the martial artist's body also has advantages."

Speaking of this, Zhao Xing summarized, "In the first realm of the Origin, the Origin Nascent, the mage's Dao-field further expands, the casting distance and spell range further increase, from the inside out, perceiving the mysteries of the universe."

"The martial artist's body further strengthens, the Dao-field becomes smaller and smaller, but the body becomes larger and larger. Vitality becomes more tenacious, and the final goal is to compress the 'Dao-field' into the body. This is another fusion goal following the fusion of the physical body and the life soul."

Yun Tiandao asked, "Then what are the characteristics of the second realm of the Origin?"

"The second realm of the Origin is called the Void Realm."

Zhao Xing moved the star map, showing endless darkness.

"The environment of the universe is harsh. Whether it is the magic path or the martial path, it is all for the sake of survival, making oneself more adapted to the environment in the universe."

"The Nascent Realm is still very weak, not yet perfected by the transformation of the spiritual energy origin, or the magic is not strong enough, or the physical body is not strong enough. In short, wanting to survive in the void is still very difficult and must rely on tools."

"Daring to cross the starry sky alone is basically a nine-out-of-ten death rate."

"The cosmic void has all kinds of disasters and unknowns."

"In the Origin Nascent Realm, whether a mage or a martial artist, encountering a 'Void Wind' might lead to falling."

"From an external factor, the first realm cannot resist the pressure in the void."

"From an internal factor, in the long journey across the territory, the first realm also cannot do without eating or drinking, and still needs to replenish spiritual energy and restore physical strength."

"I said before that the cosmic territory is divided into the Spirit Domain and the Desolate Domain."

"In the first realm, even in the Spirit Domain, one cannot directly absorb the spiritual energy in the void, because void spiritual energy is violent and chaotic, and even contains toxic substances."

"The spiritual energy in the practitioner's body requires stability and gentleness."

"Not to mention the Desolate Domain; there is no spiritual energy at all, and the pressure of the void and various disasters are even stronger."

Ji Che: "So, the second realm of the Origin, the Void Realm, requires the ability to absorb chaotic spiritual energy in the universe, and the magic or physical body reaching a level that can withstand the pressure of the void, and be fearless of void turbulence and accidents?"

"Not rigorous enough," Yun Tiandao supplemented. "Must exclude the Desolate Domain. In the Desolate Domain, the second realm also cannot survive and needs to rely on tools."

"Correct," Zhao Xing summarized. "The second realm, Origin Void. Dao-magic practitioners initially master the mysteries of the void spiritual energy origin and can resist the pressure of the void."

"Being in the Dao-field, they can fly in the void and can also draw chaotic spiritual energy from the void."

"The martial artist's body further becomes larger and stronger, storing a lot of spiritual energy, and the physical body is comparable to a medium-grade or even high-grade Star-level Dao Weapon, and can also absorb chaotic spiritual energy."

"It's just that the speed of flying while carrying the pressure is much slower than in a boundary star or small world."

"Even if the second realm can do it, they won't be so stupid; they will still rely on tools to fly."

"Of course, theoretically speaking, as long as one is not afraid of dying from an accident, one can indeed survive in the void."

"So the second realm is named the Void Realm."

"Then what about the powerhouses of the third realm?" It was Yun Tiandao who asked.

"The third realm is the Supernatural Realm," Zhao Xing said. "At this time, whether it is the magic path or the martial path, the spiritual energy origin has been understood very thoroughly."

"Whether it is the gentle and orderly spiritual energy within boundary stars, small worlds, or star lands, or the chaotic, violent, and toxic spiritual energy in the void and dangerous places, all have been thoroughly figured out."

"The control is deep, so the utilization is also more profound."

"The magic supernatural powers of magic professions, such as 'Purple Light Eight Epochs,' can make a desolate planet briefly glow with vitality, becoming a temporary survival supply point. This is turning decay into magic."

"The physical body supernatural powers of martial Dao professions, such as the famous martial artist supernatural power of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, 'Great Sun God Walk,' can walk on the sun star, hiding on the sun star, and magic professions can only stare."

Ji Che and Yun Tiandao were full of doubts. "Wait, the third realm only masters supernatural powers, but Brother, I, and Mr. Yun have all mastered supernatural powers. How is this?"

Zhao Xing smiled. "First, because the three of us are the most powerful in this world, and our talent far exceeds that of ordinary people."

"Second, the environment is different."

"We are in the Profound Yellow World, using stable and gentle spiritual energy to perform them."

"The supernatural powers just mentioned refer to performing them in the void."

"Shooting an arrow in a windless environment, hitting the bullseye is rare, but being able to hit it in a storm, that is true skill."

"Moreover, supernatural powers are divided into large and small. We have only mastered small supernatural powers."

"The third realm generally can perform small supernatural powers, and geniuses can perform large supernatural powers. These evaluation standards are all established in the void environment."

Ji Che joked, "In this way, even if we are captured, we won't be reduced to the point of mining."

"Mastering small supernatural powers in the Ascension Realm is basically based on a stable spiritual energy origin environment, which is also commendable."

Zhao Xing also smiled.

It really wouldn't reach the point of mining, unless the person capturing them was a fool; otherwise, selling them off would fetch a good price.

Yun Tiandao sighed, "I never realized there were so many high mountains in the universe."

Ji Che focused on the remaining key points. "Then the third realm should be the powerhouses in the Ancient Kingdom, right?"

"Powerhouses?" Zhao Xing shook his head. "Although the third realm can cross the void with the physical body and has powerful combat strength, in an Ancient Kingdom, they still cannot be considered powerhouses; they can only be considered elites."

"Of course, if placed in a dynasty power, they can be considered powerhouses and can establish a dynasty themselves. If there are a few more third realms, it is possible to gain a foothold."

Ji Che was curious. "How can one be considered a true powerhouse?"

"The Dao Domain Realm!" Zhao Xing said. "Only by reaching the Dao Domain Realm can one be considered a powerhouse in an Ancient Kingdom."

"What is the Dao Domain Realm?"

"In the magic path, the Dao-field jumps in this realm. The range of the Dao-field can at least cover a star system, or even be more extensive."

"In the martial path, their strength can easily move sun and moon stars, carrying them through the void."

Ji Che and Yun Tiandao's breathing stopped.

A Dao-field covering a star system? Doesn't that affect billions of boundary stars?

Moving sun and moon stars?

Simply unimaginable!

"Reaching the Dao Domain Realm, one is a guest of honor in any Ancient Kingdom!" Zhao Xing said. "Because the Dao Domain Realm can resist the expansion of the desolate domain in the star domain."

"Especially the magic path. If a certain frontier is guarded by a Dao Domain Realm, then the desolate domain-ization phenomenon will be greatly delayed, or even completely stopped."

"The martial path is slightly worse. They can only move sun and moon stars to the frontier to form a life belt," Zhao Xing explained.

"The martial path, isn't this equivalent to planting trees and afforestation?" Yun Tiandao came up with an imaginative metaphor.

"Hahaha, you can think of it that way," Zhao Xing smiled. "The body is huge, sucking spiritual energy fiercely, and then spitting it into a star system, moving sun and moon stars. Compared to the magic path, the martial path is just that hard."

"That's why I just said that the magic path requires more talent and is not something everyone can walk. In the various Ancient Kingdoms of the Xuanling Star Domain, magic professions are more favored."

Ji Che imagined that spectacular scene and couldn't help but feel surging emotions. "Truly invincible."

"Invincible? That can't be called invincible," Zhao Xing shook his head. "Above the Dao Domain Realm, there is the Reincarnation Realm."

"There's more?" Ji Che was stunned.

"The Dao Domain Realm has not mastered the Dao of Yin-Yang life and death, and its lifespan is limited," Zhao Xing said. "If they die, they cannot be resurrected, and they cannot resurrect others."

"Only the Reincarnation Realm can resurrect if they die, and they also have the ability to resurrect others."

"Of course, the Reincarnation Realm is very rare."

"The Reincarnation Temple will keep an eye on these Reincarnation Realms, forbidding them from resurrecting others at will, and also forbidding them from resurrecting themselves through certain rituals."

Ji Che muttered to himself, "Even the Reincarnation Realm does not have freedom, and after mastering life and death, they are still watched by the transcendent super-power, the Reincarnation Temple..."

Yun Tiandao also sighed, "Only now do I understand the vastness of the universe."

Hearing Zhao Xing finish, both felt their own insignificance.

Please... collect_()

"Brother, then what is the realm above the Reincarnation Realm?" Ji Che asked.

"God," Zhao Xing mused. "This realm is the legendary realm. Qing Yuzi's master once told him that above the Reincarnation Realm is the God who looks down on all living beings and watches the reincarnation of all things."

"As for what abilities God has and how to cultivate, I know nothing."

"Jump out of reincarnation and look down on all living beings?" Yun Tiandao and Ji Che had no reaction to this.

Because it was too far away, they didn't hold any expectations.

Is there anything above God?

Zhao Xing could be sure there was, but he couldn't remember it clearly. Because when he was in his previous life, he failed to impact the God Realm, and his memory of that period was very blurry. The prophecy only went this far, but he vaguely felt that the God Realm was not the end.

"Now the path of promotion is very clear," Zhao Xing said. "Origin Nascent Realm, Origin Void Realm, Origin Supernatural Realm, Dao Domain Realm, Reincarnation Realm, and the legendary God Realm."

"Boundary-star-level powers, small and large dynasty powers, Ancient Kingdom powers, cross-domain super-powers."

"Star-level Dao Weapons, Boundary-star Dao Weapons, Moon Dao Weapons, Sun Dao Weapons, Origin Divine Weapons."

"Che, when we arrive in the human territory, we will inevitably come into contact with external powers."

"I intend to popularize these things taught by Qing Yuzi to the high-ranking officials of the Great Zhou, because they will sooner or later come into contact with the outside world."

Ji Che said, "Brother, you say the universe is dark and cruel. Should we be cautious when contacting the outside world?"

"Of course we must be cautious. So the first step is to popularize common knowledge in the universe. Do not let people know that we are a dynasty that has just ascended," Zhao Xing held up a finger.

"Because a newly ascended dynasty is the best target for looting!"

"Think about it, how many Star-level Dao Weapons do we have now? Even a few Boundary Weapons. This is a great temptation for the third realm."

"Even some Boundary Weapons are wanted by the Dao Domain Realm."

"We are like a child holding a pile of gold, swaggering through the streets of the universe, with no ability to protect ourselves at all. So we must hide at the beginning and stay low!"

"Popularize common knowledge, make people think we are not some bumpkins, but experienced cosmic practitioners, or descendants of some super-power, then we can reduce the risk of being robbed."

Zhao Xing chose this route to the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom because the Purple God Mansion in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom was Qing Yuzi's root. With this line, he could reduce some risks.

In his previous life, when players took the treasures of the Profound Yellow World out, they had a bitter experience, being robbed clean as soon as they left the desolate domain.

"The second step is to sell the treasures we possess and exchange them for our own strength," Zhao Xing held up a second finger. "Boundary Weapons are hard to sell; we are only in the Ascension Realm, and selling Boundary Weapons is very risky. But Star-level Dao Weapons can be sold, and spiritual energy matter can be sold, such as spiritual liquid and spiritual crystals. These are hard currency and can be exchanged for the currency issued by a certain Ancient Kingdom. We will exchange for the currency of wherever we intend to mix."

"The third step, when the time is ripe, one must say that someone has reached the third realm, then we can choose a relatively powerful and peaceful power to take root in the Great Zhou."

"Buying a boundary star in the early stage is enough. Of course, this must be done as soon as possible, because this World Boat of ours cannot circulate forever. At the latest in three thousand years, we must move the residents out."

"In addition, the specialties of the Profound Yellow World must be moved away, otherwise many things will be automatically downgraded because the origin of the World Boat is not perfect, just like food will mold if left for a long time, and weapons will rust if left for a long time."

Ji Che nodded frequently, and Yun Tiandao also listened quietly, because what Zhao Xing said was the way of survival for a dynasty that had just ascended.

He felt these were useful and might be able to help the Xia Dynasty in the future.

"The fourth step, when we migrate out, we will inevitably be challenged. At that time, we must be well prepared."

"No matter how big the Xuanling Star Domain is, after countless years, it is overcrowded, and there are too few suitable places; we must fight."

"The fifth..."

On the day the Profound Yellow World "exploded," Zhao Xing talked a lot with Ji Che and Yun Tiandao.

No way, survival in the universe is too difficult. The Profound Yellow World has fished up so many treasures, and there is no powerhouse to guard them. At this time, as long as a slightly powerful Origin Realm comes, it can sweep the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The local powers are too unruly and have no manners. If you show a little bit of a flaw, they will copy their guys and do it.

What kind of trouble can there be in killing a flying-ascension power with no roots?

But the benefits are huge. It is well known that a newly ascended dynasty is the fattest! Robbing them is a business with huge profits!

If Zhao Xing didn't mention it, the Great Zhou would definitely step into many pits, and even move toward destruction.

Most of the dynasties that ascended in the Profound Yellow World were destroyed for this reason.

Of course, Zhao Xing was not just for the Great Zhou. He also counted on the Great Zhou to supply him with blood in the early stage. After all, making money in the universe version is too difficult.

Legal things don't come to him, and he doesn't have the strength to do illegal things. Now this period is not the node of his previous life's ascension, let alone the area he is familiar with. He hasn't even heard of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom!

Therefore, the Great Zhou is his root for early development and must be escorted.

"Che, let's stop here for today." Zhao Xing stopped telling. "I think these things are enough to do in the next five hundred years."

"Okay, I understand." Ji Che nodded. He had already seen Yun Tiandao's impatient eyes. Being able to endure not asking for so long was because Yun Tiandao had good cultivation and patience.

Now that he knew the cruelty of the universe and witnessed the explosion of the Profound Yellow World with his own eyes, he naturally wanted to know the situation of the Xia Dynasty immediately.

"I'll go first, you guys talk." Ji Che exited the Altar Square, leaving only Yun Tiandao and Zhao Xing.

"Brother Yun, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask." Zhao Xing said. "I will fulfill my promise and tell you everything I know."

After waiting for a while, Yun Tiandao didn't make a sound.

After knowing so much, he was afraid to ask, fearing to get a bad answer.

In the end, Yun Tiandao sighed: "What should come will come. Zhao Xing, tell me first, is the Xia Dynasty destroyed or alive?"

"Alive." Zhao Xing nodded. "But the situation is very difficult."

"How difficult? The Xia Emperor, my relatives, are they still alive?" Yun Tiandao stared at Zhao Xing.

"You also said just now that the third realm of the Origin, through slumber, longevity, and various methods, can live at most three epochs (3. million years). I stayed in the Profound Yellow World for 1. 28 million years. Even if you say the Xia Emperor is gone, I can accept it, but you must not lie to me and give me hope."

Zhao Xing nodded. The limit of the first to third realms of the Origin (including slumber and various longevity treasures) is 1. million to 3. million years.

Yun Tiandao can live for 1. 28 million years, which is actually because the Epoch House is a special treasure, not because he can live that long himself.

"The Xia Emperor is still alive."

"Your wife, Fairy Nifeng, is still alive."

Yun Tiandao's eyes lit up. His Emperor is still alive, and his wife is still alive. This is undoubtedly very good news.

"But, everyone else is dead."

"Including your master, fellow disciples, and the heavy ministers of the Xia Dynasty. There are very few living friends, about two or three, but they are also scattered in different places."

Yun Tiandao's heart trembled: "Why, what happened?"

Zhao Xing sighed and said: "At this time, the Xia Dynasty, all the subjects, were kept in captivity by a certain demon prince of the 'Cangyue Demon Kingdom'."

Yun Tiandao's expression was very calm, but a trace of sadness still appeared in his eyes.

Zhao Xing also couldn't bear it. In the plot of the previous life, Yun Tiandao acted as the "guide." Of course, he didn't know much, but at least he had more experience than the people in the Profound Yellow World.

On the way to the starry sky of the universe, he taught many people and taught his unique skills to the ascended players without reservation.

I don't know if it's fate, but the cruelty of the universe version was reflected through the Xia Dynasty where Yun Tiandao was. In the later plot, Yun Tiandao searched hard for the traces of the Xia Dynasty and finally found the Emperor he served, only to find that the Xia Dynasty had suffered a lot, and the Xia Emperor and his wife had completely forgotten him.

Zhao Xing said in a deep voice: "After the Xia Dynasty ascended, they encountered evil forces in the star domain, and all their treasures were looted."

"Although they luckily escaped a disaster, the heavy ministers were dead or injured. And what's worse is that the fact that the Xia Dynasty was a newly ascended dynasty was spread by the looters, causing many robbers to search for this piece of fat meat."

"So in the first 100, 00 years, the Xia Dynasty was either fleeing or on the way to fleeing."

"Because the wealth was looted and they were injured in the fierce battle, the cultivation speed was greatly reduced, and they could only slumber and recuperate, constantly hiding."

"It was in such a harsh environment that the Xia Dynasty did not give birth to the first Nascent Realm until 100, 00 years later. The first Origin Realm was precisely your wife, Fairy Nifeng, Brother Yun."

Yun Tiandao couldn't help but clench his fists. He could fully imagine what kind of suffering his relatives and country had suffered.

"The Nascent Realm is difficult to protect itself, and breaking through does not solve the predicament in front of them. The territory they are in is a chaotic and disorderly zone."

"So the Xia Dynasty could only hide in some backward boundary stars and star lands, and only a small number of powerhouses went out to break through."

"Fortunately, in the second 100, 00 years, the Xia Dynasty recovered some vitality, and the number of Nascent Realms reached more than 100."

"The Xia Emperor and your wife also broke through to the second realm of the Origin."

"At this time, the Xia Dynasty was still very weak," Zhao Xing said. "They migrated to a Yuan Cave Star System under the 'Falan Dynasty', intending to develop here for a period of time and then head to the 'Xingyao Ancient Kingdom' next door."

"However, wanting to settle in an Ancient Kingdom is not so easy. Every Ancient Kingdom will strictly control foreign races and control the population."

"The Origin Realm itself wants to become a resident of the Ancient Kingdom, but it is not possible to bring people. Because 200, 00 years have passed, exceeding the best cultivation period, the Origin Realm of the Xia Dynasty is only mediocre in the eyes of the Ancient Kingdom's super-powers."

"After all, it took 200, 00 years to reach the second realm of the Origin, and the talent is very average."

"The third 100, 00 years was the 100, 00 years of the Xia Dynasty's wealth accumulation."

"The Yuan Cave Star System is more stable than all previous places. The Falan Dynasty is a big dynasty, with 45 third realms, over 10, 00 second realms, and over 10, 00 boundary stars."

"However, just as it started to improve, the Falan Dynasty encountered war."

"Not long after, the Falan Dynasty was destroyed by another big dynasty, the 'Yate Dynasty'. All the powerhouses were dead, fled, or captured, the subjects became slaves, and the territory was annexed."

"The powerhouses of the Xia Dynasty were conscripted in the war, the Origin Realm was sharply reduced to single digits, and even the Xia Emperor and Fairy Nifeng were injured and fell back to the first realm."

Zhao Xing sighed: "Fleeing, struggling, adding up to 300, 00 years, after that war, everything needs to start from scratch."

"The Xia Dynasty was regarded as a part of the Falan Dynasty and was hunted down by the Yate Dynasty."

Hearing this, Yun Tiandao's heart sank to the bottom.

It was hard to develop, and hope was seen, but another accident occurred.

"The previous star pirate hunts were all small troubles. The Yate Dynasty is powerful, and it is very difficult to hide."

"This time, in order to escape, the Xia Dynasty paid a huge price and had to hide in the periphery of the Desolate Domain."

"For a full 200, 00 years, the Xia Dynasty could only survive in the Desolate Domain."

Still the same sentence, mobility is too weak.

The Xia Dynasty had no way to flee from one star system to another all at once.

At this time, the Xia Dynasty was like villagers who had left their homes in the war, hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, becoming desolate people.

"In the 200, 00 years, the Xia Dynasty had also come out. In the first 50, 00 years, the Yate Dynasty canceled the hunt and announced that it could accept the subjects of the Falan Dynasty."

"However, not long after coming out, the Yate Dynasty itself declined, and in less than 10, 00 years, it split into 16 different forces."

"After that, it was a long-term chaotic war. In these 200, 00 years, the Xia Dynasty went in and out, hiding and hiding."

"The Xia Emperor and Fairy Nifeng returned to the second realm of the Origin, and the number of people in the first realm slowly increased."

"In the end, the Xia Dynasty decided to migrate again, that is, to migrate across star systems, and completely leave this chaotic area, because waiting here, there is no hope of war stopping at all."

"The Xia Dynasty intended to smuggle into the 'Red Star Empire'. This was an adventurous move," Zhao Xing recalled: "Because this requires crossing the chaotic battlefield, the enemy territory of the human race, and the Desolate Domain zone."

"It was precisely this adventure that plunged the Xia Dynasty into a desperate situation."

"When the Xia Dynasty passed through the territory of the Cangyue Demon Kingdom, the World Boat was captured by a third-realm powerhouse of the demon race."

"Since then, the Xia Dynasty has been kept in captivity in the Cangyue Demon Kingdom."

"Human practitioners can do some things that demon practitioners cannot do, such as farming and raising luck."

"Demon practitioners take pride in capturing human slaves. Whoever has more slaves has more status, just like humans raising demon pets."

"The Xia Dynasty has been kept in captivity for nearly 600, 00 years."

"The third-realm powerhouse of the demon race has already been promoted to the Dao Domain Realm."

"The Xia Dynasty has completely become a slave country of the demon race."

"During this period, many heavy ministers of the Xia Dynasty were resold and have completely forgotten their identities."

Yun Tiandao's eyes were red, and his breathing became rapid: "You mean, the Xia Emperor and my wife have completely forgotten me and have become alien races?"

"No." Zhao Xing shook his head: "The Xia Emperor and Fairy Nifeng have already reached the third realm. They have not been demonized. After all, maintaining the image of the orthodox human race can be shown off by that demon powerhouse."

"It's just that in the continuous brainwashing of the demon powerhouse, they have indeed forgotten everything in the past and believe that they are a part of the Cangyue Demon Kingdom."

What Zhao Xing said was what he learned when he did this task of Yun Tiandao in his previous life. Now the context of the Xia Dynasty's million years is roughly the same.

Yun Tiandao listened and fell into complete silence.

The enemy of the Dao Domain Realm is still in the enemy territory of the human race. The encounter of the Xia Dynasty is simply desperate.

Zhao Xing said: "Brother Yun, I let you come out early because the Cangyue Demon Kingdom will have a war with the Daoxuan Ancient Kingdom in the future. If you rush over in more than 2, 00 years, that big demon will die in the war, and the Xia Emperor and Fairy Nifeng will also die."

"But you are more than 2, 00 years early, so everything is still in time!"

Yun Tiandao smiled miserably: "More than 2, 00 years, Dao Domain Realm, I, Yun Tiandao, even if I think highly of myself, dare not have such confidence. Moreover, reaching the Dao Domain Realm, is it really enough for me to go to the Demon Kingdom to save them?"

"It must be!" Zhao Xing held Yun Tiandao's hand: "You must believe me."

"Let me be alone for a while." Yun Tiandao pulled his hand out and disappeared into the Altar Square.

Looking at Yun Tiandao's back, Zhao Xing didn't know what to say. He fulfilled his promise to tell Yun Tiandao everything, but he didn't know if it would change Yun Tiandao's trajectory.

"Yun Tiandao shouldn't be desperate and depressed, right?"

"I don't know if it's right or wrong." Zhao Xing shook his head and returned to his residence.

A month later, Zhao Xing saw Yun Tiandao again.

At this time, Zhao Xing was conducting knowledge popularization in the hall.

The popularization had been going on for many days, but this was the first time he saw Yun Tiandao come to the meeting.

Looking at him, he had returned to his usual expression, as if nothing had happened.

"Great Silonong, I have a question!"

Suddenly, someone's question attracted Zhao Xing's attention back.

"General Ye, what is your question?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Great Silonong, you just said that the martial path, breaking through the Origin Realm, is to compress the Dao-field back into the body," Ye Yukong scratched his head: "But my martial artist has Qi and Sword branches. The Qi Sect is fine, but the Sword Sect's Dao-field is developing outwards. Does it also need to be compressed back? Merging it. Doesn't that mean there is only one choice for martial arts breakthrough in the universe, the Qi Sect flow?"

Ye Yukong's question made many Sword Sect martial artists discuss it. Ye Yukong's confusion was also their confusion.

For example, Long Xiao is also a Sword Sect school. His sword control techniques are all flying far away. After breaking through the Dao-Establishing Realm, the Dao-field is also expanded as much as possible, making the sword control speed fast and more aggressive.

If it needs to be taken back, doesn't that conflict with the current cultivation direction?

Could it be that the Sword Sect has declined in the universe version?

Zhao Xing said: "The Qi Sect method is indeed prevalent in the martial path in the universe."

"However, this is not because the Sword Sect is not strong enough, but because this path is too strong. The major top powers control the secret methods very strictly, and the basic ones that can be bought are some methods that cannot become a climate."

"As far as I know, the Sword Sect does not need to compress the Dao-field into the body, but compresses it into the natal divine weapon."

"Of course, what I am expounding is the essence, and there is no relevant cultivation method. Don't practice it blindly... Long Xiao, stop!"

"Uh, Great Silonong, forgive me." Long Xiao arched his hands awkwardly, because as soon as Zhao Xing said it, he began to try, but he didn't expect to be seen through by Zhao Xing at a glance.

"Cultivating in the World Boat, the Dao you perceive is incomplete, and the Dao in the Desolate Domain is also obscure and incomplete. At most, it can temper martial arts and magic, and cannot perceive the Dao." Zhao Xing warned. "You cannot practice without authorization, otherwise it is easy to go into fire and enter the devil."

The internal world of the World Boat, of course, cannot supply powerhouses to cultivate, otherwise how could the Xia Dynasty hide for so many years and always want to go to a spiritual energy star system to live? It is because the Desolate Domain has no way for people to continue to cultivate upwards.

Those who have reached the Dao-Establishing Realm can only continue to cultivate after leaving the Desolate Domain and finding a spiritual energy territory, otherwise they can only be like Yun Tiandao, whose magic is constantly improving, but the realm of the Dao is stuck.

"Did you hear the words of the Great Silonong?!" Ji Che shouted, "Remember, this is a prohibition."

"Yes." Everyone responded one after another, indicating that they had remembered it.

After the lecture, Zhao Xing had another small meeting with the heads of the six ministries.

"Your Majesty, in the Profound Yellow World Boat, there is no need for too many powerhouses to wake up. I think some people can enter the Realm of Slumber to spend this long starry sky journey," Zhao Xing suggested.

"Great Silonong's words are reasonable." Ji Che nodded. Since the Dao cannot be improved, too many powerhouses waking up will waste spiritual energy, and it is just tempering the method. Five hundred years may not necessarily have much progress.

"You formulate a plan, with a hundred years as the interval, the heads of the six ministries, subordinate officials, take turns to wake up and sleep," Ji Che said. "Officials who do not need to be stationed, sleep for five hundred years."

"Yes."

The efficiency of the six ministries was very fast, and a concrete implementation plan was produced seven days later.

It was announced at the morning meeting, but this was mainly aimed at the super-grade ministers. As for the rest of the officials, they were not restricted, and they couldn't consume much anyway.

After the meeting, Zhao Xing, who had finished announcing the plan, arched his hands to the crowd.

"Everyone, see you in five hundred years."
