Chapter 385: Five trillion in trouble, Ji Si

Zhao Xing had not seen the Mansion Master of Purple Moon for a thousand years.

The first time they met was to convey the news of Qing Yuzi's death; the second time was now.

The Mansion Master of Purple Moon and the Mansion Master of Yuqing had followed this Great Zhou boundary boat to Tiger Head Star Continent, landing at the Yellow Sand Mansion.

"Paying respects to the Mansion Master of Purple Moon and the Mansion Master of Yuqing." Zhao Xing bowed respectfully to the two Mansion Masters; as for the people from Great Zhou, they could only be left aside for now.

"You all go out first." The Mansion Master of Purple Moon gestured to Liu Tianning and Xia Jing. As for Ji Che of Great Zhou, the Mansion Master of Purple Moon did not even let him come out to meet them.

"Yes." Liu Tianning and Xia Jing cupped their hands, then followed Jiu Li out of the Yellow Sand Mansion's reception hall.

Inside the hall, only four people remained: Du Yun, Zhao Xing, the Mansion Master of Purple Moon, and the Mansion Master of Yuqing.

"Zhao Xing." The Mansion Master of Purple Moon went straight to the point: "Do you wish to leave the Purple God Mansion?"

"Yes, I was just about to request permission from the Mansion Master." Zhao Xing did not hide it, as his intentions were already obvious.

"Is it because of fear?" the Mansion Master of Purple Moon asked. "You don't need to be afraid now, because the person who killed your teacher is already dead."

"He was called the Marquis of Heyin, a Dao Domain realm expert," the Mansion Master of Yuqing added. "His direct and collateral descendants no longer exist."

Zhao Xing displayed just the right amount of surprise and relief—of course, he shouldn't have received the news so quickly, so this performance was necessary.

One must also grasp the scale of the performance; he and Qing Yuzi had never met, so being overly emotional would seem fake and contrived.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Xing spoke: "Teacher's spirit in heaven can finally rest in peace."

"Now that the enemy is dead," the Mansion Master of Purple Moon said in a deep voice, "you no longer need to live in fear, and there is even less need to leave the Ancient Kingdom of Yuanhai. I have already registered everyone from your hometown dynasty; they have become official citizens of the Ancient Kingdom of Yuanhai."

Zhao Xing was stunned. The Mansion Master of Purple Moon had already helped the Great Zhou people get registered?

*Damn it, no... Zhao Xing shouted inwardly.

The Mansion Master of Purple Moon continued: "Before your teacher went to the Chenluo Desolate Domain, I had people manage his assets. Now, 1. million years have passed. His real estate includes one high-level boundary star and over three hundred small boundary stars and star continents. His liquid assets amount to 5 trillion Yuanhai coins."

"His total wealth is approximately 30 trillion."

Zhao Xing was stunned again.

30 trillion? Was Qing Yuzi that rich?

He had adventured in the Yueluo Mausoleum for so long and only possessed about 980 billion Yuanhai coins, which converted to 2. billion Red Star coins—the net worth of a Five Elements Dao Domain realm expert.

Yet Qing Yuzi actually had 30 trillion?!

*That shouldn't be right, he was only a Second Realm expert... But upon second thought, Zhao Xing understood.

Qing Yuzi didn't have that much money back then, but the Mansion Master of Purple Moon did. Plus, the Mansion Master of Purple Moon had people manage it and set up assets for her beloved disciple; in reality, this couldn't be counted as wealth Qing Yuzi earned himself.

After an epoch, Qing Yuzi having so much inheritance was purely due to the efforts of the Mansion Master of Purple Moon.

If it were the Mansion Master of Purple Moon, a Yin-Yang Dao Domain realm expert, then this amount of wealth wasn't exaggerated.

*No wonder Zhaoyuanzi's attitude toward me was cold back then, with that defensive posture as if I were here to snatch the inheritance... It really is a lot of money, Zhao Xing thought to himself.

He hadn't even thought Old Qing could have so much money; he feared Qing Yuzi himself hadn't expected it either.

"Now, you inherit these assets." The Mansion Master of Purple Moon stared at Zhao Xing.

Hearing this, Zhao Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly inside.

"Zhao Xing." The Mansion Master of Yuqing beside him smiled: "Your grand-teacher didn't act on a whim. Back then, she told Suqin and Muluo that if you could reach the Origin realm within three thousand years and were not someone of crooked character, then you would inherit your teacher's assets."

Du Yun also wanted Zhao Xing to stay; after all, this kid was blessed and had good comprehension: "Zhao Xing, don't just stand there stunned. This is a good thing; why don't you thank your grand-teacher yet?"

Zhao Xing pretended to be stunned on the surface, while quickly thinking about how to refuse.

Money was a good thing, but this money was too hot to handle.

"Mansion Master." Zhao Xing cupped his hands, beginning to weigh his words.

The Mansion Master of Purple Moon saw Zhao Xing call her "Mansion Master" instead of "grand-teacher," and a look of displeasure appeared on her face.

"Teacher Qing Yuzi's wealth—this junior is unworthy of receiving it," Zhao Xing said. "I haven't done anything, and to receive such a large sum of wealth would easily lead to gossip..."

"You don't need to explain," the Mansion Master of Purple Moon said indifferently. "In the end, you are determined to leave?"

The Mansion Master of Purple Moon had a very strong personality; although Zhao Xing hadn't had much contact with her, he could see it.

Seeing that being tactful was useless, Zhao Xing simply laid his cards on the table: "Yes. I am grateful for the Mansion Master's care, but I wish to pursue my own Dao and am unwilling to hide under the wings of the strong."

"Hmph." The Mansion Master of Purple Moon flicked her sleeves and vanished instantly.

Zhao Xing's expression changed slightly.

"Zhao Xing, you don't need to be nervous." The Mansion Master of Yuqing looked at Zhao Xing with a complex expression: "Back then, your teacher used the same excuse, and then accepted the mission to the Desolate Domain."

"Zhao Xing, you need not be nervous." The Master of Yuqing Prefecture looked at Zhao Xing, his expression complex: "Your teacher used the same rhetoric back then, and then accepted the mission to the Desolate Domain."

*I reminded the Mansion Master of Purple Moon of Qing Yuzi? Zhao Xing relaxed slightly; he had long thought that refusing the Mansion Master of Purple Moon might make her angry.

But there was no other way; he had to leave, and saying it directly was better than sneaking away.

"The minor divine ability 'Purple Light Eight Epochs' created by your teacher is now only known by you," the Mansion Master of Yuqing sighed. "Seeing you, Purple Moon is like seeing her disciple. Staying in the Purple God Mansion can be considered giving her a sense of comfort."

Zhao Xing understood everything the Mansion Master of Yuqing said, but he truly couldn't do it, so he could only remain silent and listen quietly.

"You have now broken through to the Third Realm, but wandering in the universe is barely enough to protect yourself." The Mansion Master of Yuqing tried to persuade him gently; her face was kind, and her tone was soft: "Staying in the Purple God Mansion, you still have the opportunity to achieve self-growth."

"The Mansion Master of Purple Moon will not restrict your development; she just wants to help you."

"Look, Du Yun also entered the Origin Heavenly Palace, but he didn't leave the Purple God Mansion or the Ancient Kingdom of Yuanhai. This shows that your personal pursuits do not conflict with being a member of the Purple God Mansion."

Du Yun nodded; he also couldn't understand why Zhao Xing wanted to refuse.

Zhao Xing didn't know what to say either. Setting aside the factor of the Dongyan Ancient Clan, he really didn't have a convincing reason to give.

"Mansion Master." Zhao Xing cupped his hands toward Du Yun and Yuqing. "I actually wish to follow the Dao of the Self. In the future, I will be going to the Red Star Empire, so I can no longer be a member of the Ancient Kingdom of Yuanhai and the Purple God Mansion."

"Please forgive me, Mansion Master."

Du Yun nodded but didn't say anything.

After hearing this, the Mansion Master of Yuqing stopped trying to persuade him.

"People have their own aspirations. Since your mind is made up, Purple Moon and I are not unreasonable people."

Zhao Xing said gratefully: "Thank you for your understanding, Mansion Master. This junior is willing to pay a thousand times the resources consumed back at Qingyu Star."

Back at Qingyu Star, he had consumed quite a lot of free resources from the Ascension realm to the Origin realm. Now that he said he was leaving, Zhao Xing was willing to pay a bit more.

"Money is not the main issue," the Mansion Master of Yuqing said.

"Please instruct me, Mansion Master." Zhao Xing cupped his hands.

"Purple Light Eight Epochs is Qing Yuzi's minor divine ability," the Mansion Master of Yuqing said. "According to the procedure, you must abolish this divine ability before you leave."

Seeing Zhao Xing in a difficult position, Du Yun couldn't help but speak: "Mansion Master of Yuqing, I wonder if there is another choice? I would like to plead for Zhao Xing. Besides, Qing Yuzi might not be happy to see his divine ability abolished."

The Mansion Master of Yuqing was somewhat surprised; she didn't expect Du Yun to plead for him.

How many years had Zhao Xing been here? He actually managed to make Du Yun speak up.

The Mansion Master of Yuqing was silent for a moment, seemingly communicating via voice transmission with the Mansion Master of Purple Moon: "Since the Mansion Master of Yellow Sand is pleading for him, then let him keep it. However, he must pass down a copy of Purple Light Eight Epochs to be kept in the Purple Moon Mansion."

"No problem, thank you, Mansion Master." Zhao Xing nodded; this would only take a dozen years or so.

"Don't be in such a hurry to thank me," the Mansion Master of Yuqing said. "You can keep Qing Yuzi's divine ability, but the 'Three Gods Life Palace' that Wan'er learned is the real trouble. It must be abolished."

Hearing this, Du Yun couldn't help but frown: "You also learned the Three Gods Life Palace?"

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded.

The Mansion Master of Yuqing said: "Mansion Master of Yellow Sand, you explain it to Zhao Xing. Don't let him think we are forcing him."

After saying this, the Mansion Master of Yuqing flicked her sleeves and also dissipated into light, leaving the hall.

After the Mansion Master of Yuqing left, Du Yun held his star realm, understanding the ins and outs.

After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, he explained:

"Zhao Xing, the 'Three Gods Life Palace' you learned is very troublesome."

"It belongs to the unique divine ability of the Reincarnation Temple, originating from the great divine ability 'Reincarnation'."

"Su Wan'er was granted permission to learn it back then because she performed brilliantly in a Dharma assembly jointly held by the Desolate Domain Ancient Kingdom Alliance and the Reincarnation Temple, thus obtaining such a precious opportunity."

"But the Reincarnation Temple granted it to Su Wan'er, not you. Do you understand the difference?"

"Yes, I understand." Zhao Xing nodded.

"You ascended from the Desolate Domain and didn't know this, so it's understandable. The Reincarnation Temple won't kill you, they will just abolish your divine ability," Du Yun said.

"Mansion Master, is there any room for accommodation?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Difficult." Du Yun shook his head: "Originally, the Ancient Kingdom Alliance and the Reincarnation Temple had a decent relationship, but later... the Reincarnation Temple lost another 'Evolution God Stele'. The Ancient Kingdom Alliance had some responsibility for this matter; it's not convenient for me to say more."

"After that, the relationship between the Desolate Domain Ancient Kingdom Alliance and the Reincarnation Temple worsened, and the Reincarnation Temple no longer grants such rights."

"Learning it without authorization requires it to be abolished."

"It is very difficult to open this door now."

Zhao Xing pondered: "The Mansion Master is a member of the Origin Heavenly Palace; can you find someone to plead for me? I am willing to pay the price."

Abolish the Three Gods Life Palace. That involves the Life Soul, Earth Soul, and Heaven Soul!

Abolishing this soul divine ability would cause great harm and might even expose his secrets.

Not just his own secrets, but the secrets of the Dongyan Ancient Clan.

If someone really touched his soul, Zhao Xing would not be far from death.

Du Yun shook his head: "If you were in the Purple God Mansion, with the relationship between the Mansion Master of Purple Moon and the Mansion Master of Yuqing, they might be able to help you delay for some time. However, you want to leave the Purple God Mansion..."

Zhao Xing understood. If he left, the Mansion Master of Purple Moon and the Mansion Master of Yuqing would not only not help him, but would ensure the abolition process was completed, because the source of the leak was Su Wan'er. If he ran away, the Purple God Mansion would also have to bear the responsibility.

No wonder the Mansion Master of Purple Moon and the Mansion Master of Yuqing came personally; I fear this point is the most important one.

"Mansion Master, you are a member of the Origin Heavenly Palace," Zhao Xing bowed and asked. "If you were to find someone, could you find a way? And what price would need to be paid?"

Du Yun originally didn't want to get involved; the affairs of the Reincarnation Temple were not so easy to interfere with.

Those guardians of the Dao didn't care about money at all; they only wanted to uphold the philosophy of the Reincarnation Temple.

However, he remembered the words of the great scholar Zhuo En, so he nodded: "Wait a moment."

He held the star realm again and closed his eyes.

Zhao Xing waited for three full days. After three days, Du Yun opened his eyes.

"Mansion Master, how is it?"

"Zhao Xing, I just asked around in the Origin Heavenly Palace," Du Yun said. "The price to find someone who can plead for you is very high; I'm afraid you can't afford it."

"Please speak frankly, Mansion Master."

Du Yun said: "I will act as the intermediary and won't charge any fees, but you need to pay 5 trillion Red Star coins. The other party is only willing to delay for some time for you; they cannot solve this problem from the root. After the Reincarnation Temple lost the Evolution God Stele, there is very little room for maneuver in this matter."

"Five trillion Red Star coins?" Zhao Xing's breath hitched.

This price was simply too high; even in the Dark Hall, it would be enough to issue a mission to assassinate a Yin-Yang Dao Domain realm expert.

Du Yun said: "I think you might as well give up this divine ability. I can guarantee that you won't encounter any accidents during the process of abolishing the divine ability."

5 trillion Red Star coins? Just to delay for a while and protect a minor soul divine ability?

Du Yun felt it was simply not worth it.

With such trouble, he naturally suggested Zhao Xing accept the abolition.

"Abolishing a soul divine ability just means someone will see some of your memories," Du Yun said. "The Reincarnation Temple won't leak other people's privacy at will."

In Du Yun's view, Zhao Xing had ascended for a short time and had nothing worth hiding.

"With me supervising, let the Reincarnation Temple assign someone to come, instead of dragging you over there," Du Yun said. "Designate a scholar to use 'Spirit of Forgetting' on you. Your strength won't be affected in any way, and it won't hurt your foundation."

Hearing this, Zhao Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly inside.

Honestly, Du Yun was already very kind. If this proposal were made to someone else, say, Zi Gu, the other party would probably be very happy to accept it.

But for him, it was absolutely impossible; it was no different from sending himself to death.

Joining the Reincarnation Temple for the time being was also impossible; it wasn't a question of talent or not.

The reason the Reincarnation Temple lost the Evolution God Stele was because there was a traitor inside!

The great divine ability "Reincarnation" was the basic spell used to drive the "Evolution God Stele"! It was precisely by utilizing this point that they were able to steal it successfully. In his past life, that was the process players used to steal the Evolution God Stele.

They were currently laying off staff and conducting thorough investigations; why would they recruit people?

Zhao Xing didn't expect the Reincarnation Temple to have lost another one in recent years. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have learned it.

He learned this thinking he would become an expert later and steal their tombstone, but he didn't expect some sage to have already acted. By the time he entered the universe version, he ran into their crackdown.

Now that Master Zhao understood the truth, he really felt like crying.

It was too unfair. He hadn't even stolen anything yet; how did the crackdown reach him?

"Sigh."

Seeing Zhao Xing sigh, Du Yun couldn't help but find it amusing.

Zhao Xing's current appearance was very much like an attempted tomb raider; he had seen too many of them over the years.

But this kid shouldn't have thought about raiding the Reincarnation Temple's tomb, right?

"Mansion Master, how much time do I have left?" Zhao Xing asked. Since the matter had already happened, there was no need for self-pity.

Zhao Xing never struggled for too long; once he discovered a problem, he would go and solve it immediately.

When Du Yun heard this, he knew Zhao Xing still wanted to keep his privacy, which instead proved Zhuo En's prophecy back then.

However, Du Yun had no intention of prying into secrets. Why wasn't he curious? Zhuo En had said it involved life and death. Although he felt it was a bit exaggerated, it was best not to pry too much; just build a good relationship.

"The Reincarnation Temple rarely has people stationed in various countries now," Du Yun introduced. "Except for trackers and guardians, the Reincarnation Temple is almost in a state of seclusion."

"Your matter isn't very urgent, but when the Spirit Domain Dharma Assembly is held, someone should come out to find you."

"Spirit Domain Dharma Assembly?" Zhao Xing frowned, "Is it being held in the Ancient Kingdom of Yuanhai?"

"It's highly likely." Du Yun said.

Hearing Du Yun say this, ripples appeared in Zhao Xing's heart.

The Spirit Domain Dharma Assembly was held once every epoch. When he came in his past life, the Spirit Domain Dharma Assembly had just ended, but it wasn't held in the Ancient Kingdom of Yuanhai; it was held in another ancient kingdom.

His past life memories and the current situation had deviated again, but Zhao Xing had no time to care about that now.

Because he had just checked, the Spirit Domain Dharma Assembly would be held in 1, 45 years.

According to convention, the location would be announced in 45 years.

"1, 45 years, just past the thousand-year agreement." Zhao Xing felt a force in the dark preventing him from leaving the Ancient Kingdom of Yuanhai.

If he didn't find a way, he would have to wait here for 1, 45 years, obediently waiting for the people from the Reincarnation Temple to come and execute the process of abolishing his divine ability.

Escaping was impossible; the Mansion Master of Purple Moon and the Mansion Master of Yuqing would definitely not let him escape.

At this moment, Du Yun was in front of him, so Zhao Xing didn't dare to think too much, just cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Mansion Master, I understand."

"Before I leave, I will scrape together 5 trillion Red Star coins so as not to make things difficult for the Purple God Mansion."

After Zhao Xing left, Du Yun pondered for a moment and flew to another side hall.

Inside the hall were the Mansion Master of Purple Moon and the Mansion Master of Yuqing.

"Two Mansion Masters," Du Yun said: "Zhao Xing has decided to leave the Purple God Mansion."

A trace of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the Mansion Master of Purple Moon, but in the end, she said nothing.

The Mansion Master of Yuqing said: "Then let him stay in the Ancient Kingdom of Yuanhai for another thousand years and wait for the Spirit Domain Dharma Assembly to be held."

A twisted melon is not sweet. Since they couldn't talk about feelings with Zhao Xing, they could only handle things officially.

"After the divine ability is abolished, he can go wherever he wants."

"Two Mansion Masters," Du Yun cupped his hands: "Taking him back is undoubtedly a form of house arrest. I feel this method is inappropriate."

"Du Yun, what do you mean?"

"He still wants to stay on Tiger Head Star Continent for now."

"This concerns the Reincarnation Temple; is it up to him to decide?" The Mansion Master of Yuqing said: "If he sneaks away, we can't bear this responsibility."

"I will guarantee it," Du Yun said: "I have the Thousand-Mile Yellow Sand Crossing; I can watch him."

"Du Yun, this is the second time you've pleaded for him." The Mansion Master of Yuqing was curious. She didn't understand why Du Yun would do this.

"He previously contributed a stable void route in and out of the Yueluo Mausoleum to me."

"Perhaps he doesn't even know the value of it. Although I gave him money and rewards, I still owe him somewhat." Du Yun found a ready-made excuse.

In fact, there was no debt at all; the reward Du Yun gave was enough to pay for that route information. The main thing was that Du Yun didn't want to explain the matter of Zhuo En to the two Mansion Masters.

The Yellow Sand Mansion, Purple Moon Mansion, and Yuqing Mansion, although belonging to the same organization, did not belong to each other. Du Yun had some friendship with the two, but not much. After all, he, Purple Moon, and Yuqing were not from the same era.

Since they weren't close, there was no need to say too much.

Yuqing and Purple Moon looked at each other, exchanged a few words in secret, and then replied:

"Since you, Du Yun, are guaranteeing it, then we will leave it to you to handle."

If the current Mansion Master of Purple God could not break through life and death and enter the Reincarnation realm, she would live at most another two or three epochs. The one who would shoulder the burden in the future was Du Yun; he was the designated Mansion Master, and it was unshakable. Naturally, the two had to give face to the next Mansion Master.

"Good, thank you both." Du Yun cupped his hands.

"Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn!"

Jing Yan was drilling holes in a puppet. Hearing the sound, he immediately took off his mask and looked over.

"Zhao Xing, why are you cursing as soon as you enter the door? Who offended you?"

Jing Yan jumped lightly from the puppet's shoulder, changed his outfit in mid-air, and landed gracefully.

His good brother had become a Marquis and had a free big mansion to live in, so he naturally wouldn't spend money anymore, so he also lived in the Wuling Marquis Mansion.

Zhao Xing opened his mouth and finally said dejectedly: "Damn everyone."

Jing Yan immediately started unbuttoning his clothes.

Zhao Xing: "..."

Seeing Zhao Xing smile, Jing Yan closed his clothes and patted Zhao Xing on the shoulder:

"Little brother, you still look more handsome when you smile."

"I'm speechless."

Jing Yan produced two smoking pipes: "Then don't talk, have one."

"The empire's old brand 'Beiye', the goods are as the name suggests, strong enough, and wild enough. I don't have much stock left on me."

Zhao Xing grabbed one, and Jing Yan snapped his fingers, and the two slender smoking pipes ignited with a faint flame.

"Sss~"

"Ha~"

The two puffed clouds and mist silently beside the mechanical puppet.

After one pipe, Zhao Xing's mood was much better.

"If there's nothing else, I'll continue working."

"Hmm."

Zhao Xing flashed and arrived at the backyard of the Marquis Mansion.

At this time, the main members of Great Zhou were all here. Seeing Zhao Xing return, they immediately greeted him.

"Big brother."

"The Grand Minister of Agriculture is here."

"Greetings, Grand Minister of Agriculture."

Ji Che and the ministers all stood up one after another.

Zhao Xing returned the salute: "Your Majesty, esteemed ministers."

Ji Che ran over to help Zhao Xing up: "Big brother, please get up quickly. This isn't a court session; why are you bowing?"

Now that they were no longer in the Profound Yellow World and had arrived in a new world, Great Zhou had strong individuals successively becoming Origin realm experts, and Ji Che's concepts had also changed a lot.

He knew very well that if Zhao Xing, Liu Tianning, Xia Jing, and others wanted to leave, he couldn't keep them at all.

That they were still willing to salute him and maintain the etiquette of monarch and subject was purely a kind of sentiment in their hearts.

Of course, he wouldn't really treat himself as a high and mighty emperor.

"Everyone, please take your seats and speak."

After Ji Che finished speaking, everyone sat down.

Originally, everyone wasn't just sitting there; Yuan Forty-Six had arranged for them to eat and drink.

However, no one could truly relax and eat or drink. After all, many things had happened on the way, making Ji Che and Liu Tianning smell an unusual scent.

Now that they saw Zhao Xing appear with their own eyes, everyone relaxed and could truly enjoy the food in front of them.

"The ministers of Great Zhou are truly trembling with fear, as if walking on thin ice." Zhao Xing just glanced at them and saw the original atmosphere.

A thousand years had passed, and the more Great Zhou saw, the more they were filled with awe for everything in the universe.

All kinds of geniuses emerged one after another; anyone they met casually was an existence beyond their reach.

All kinds of treasures had unfathomable power, power they didn't even dare to imagine. Now that Zhao Xing said Great Zhou was going to migrate again, they all remembered the scene of entering the Star Hail Pass for the first time.

Where would they go in the future? What would their fate be? Could Zhao Xing shelter them from the wind and rain? Could they shelter Great Zhou from the wind and rain? They had no bottom in their hearts.

"Zhao Xing, when I came, I heard some rumors that the Mansion Master of Purple Moon intends to hand Qing Yuzi's assets to you."

"Receiving such heavy wealth, how can you leave?" Liu Tianning asked.

"Teacher, don't worry," Zhao Xing said. "The Purple God Mansion won't stop me; this aspect has already been resolved."

The Mansion Master of Purple Moon and the Mansion Master of Yuqing would indeed not stop Zhao Xing from leaving the Purple God Mansion. Now Du Yun was guaranteeing it, supervising Zhao Xing's actions, and taking over the process of the Reincarnation Temple abolishing the divine ability.

After paying a thousand times the reward and passing down the Purple Light Eight Epochs, there would be no more entanglements between Zhao Xing and the Mansion Master of Purple Moon and the Mansion Master of Yuqing.

The Mansion Master of Purple Moon and the Mansion Master of Yuqing didn't know how Zhao Xing had chosen; the two of them hadn't even thought that Zhao Xing would want to keep the "Three Gods Life Palace". They didn't know about the conversation between Du Yun and Zhao Xing.

"It's just that we can't leave yet," Zhao Xing said. "There are still some things to handle."

"After leaving the identity of a Purple God Mansion member, I will continue to stay here for a period of time as the Marquis of Wuling of the Ancient Kingdom of Yuanhai."

As for how long, Zhao Xing didn't have a clue either. In any case, a living person wouldn't be suffocated to death by urine.

Please... you... bookmark_()

"Big brother, are you really leaving?" Zi Gu asked: "Didn't you say that so-and-so is already dead?"

"Do you want to stay?" Zhao Xing looked at Zi Gu.

"I do want to stay." Zi Gu was very sincere, "I don't think there's anything wrong with mixing in the Purple God Mansion."

Once Zi Gu's words came out, everyone stopped their chopsticks.

Although they followed orders and came here, many people now didn't understand why they had to leave.

Like Rahu King, Ye Yukong, Qi Tian, Lu Ying, and others, they were all a bit puzzled.

As for Xia Jing, Chen Shijie, and Long Xiao, they trusted Zhao Xing unconditionally.

"The Red Star Empire is more suitable for our development," Zhao Xing said. "If anyone feels that they have better development and must stay, I and His Majesty will not force them, but we must draw a line. From now on, they will no longer be a part of Great Zhou."

"Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is determined by heaven. If anyone wants to leave, they can draw a sum of money from Great Zhou, and I and His Majesty will give them a portion of resources that can be cultivated to the Origin realm. Today's banquet will be a farewell banquet."

Zhao Xing didn't explain, and he couldn't explain.

No one spoke.

Although they were puzzled, they didn't have the idea of leaving.

In fact, it was mainly because they were too weak. Most of them were in the Ascension realm and hadn't even become Origin realm experts. Even if they became citizens of the ancient kingdom, they were still at the bottom.

The only ones who could truly stand on their own were Liu Tianning, Xia Jing, and Zi Gu.

Because they had not only reached the Origin realm but also joined the major forces of the Ancient Kingdom of Yuanhai.

"Zi Gu." Zhao Xing said: "You seem to have something to say?"

Zi Gu the Heavenly Venerate thought for a while, stood up, and bowed to Zhao Xing and Ji Che: "Your Majesty, big brother, I want to stay in the Purple God Mansion."

Zhao Xing sighed in his heart, but still tried to persuade him: "You alone in the Purple God Mansion might be bullied. I am now in the Third Realm and can still protect you. Do you really want to stay?"

Zi Gu maintained his bowing posture: "After I became an Origin realm expert, the Mansion Master of Tianqi was quite fond of me, handed Puta's inheritance to me, and is willing to take the time to teach me personally."

"Big brother, perhaps the Red Star Empire is better, but I don't want to wander anymore."

At this moment, Zhao Xing looked at Zi Gu and couldn't help but think of the scene where he refused the Mansion Master of Purple Moon.

After not seeing him for a long time, Zi Gu's situation had also changed greatly. After he became an Origin realm expert, his performance was excellent. In fact, he had always been excellent. In the way of artifact refining, he was, after all, able to accept Puta's inheritance.

The Mansion Master of Tianqi's test of his character had also been passed, so she decided to let Zi Gu inherit the assets.

Once a person has a family foundation, they don't want to live a hard life anymore.

Going to the Red Star Empire meant starting over again. It was normal for Zi Gu to have such thoughts.

"Good." Zhao Xing nodded, while Ji Che helped Zi Gu up, and the three of them drank a cup together.

At the end, Zhao Xing said: "Zi Gu, do you still remember what I promised you back then?"

Zi Gu nodded: "I remember."

Zhao Xing patted Zi Gu on the shoulder blade: "About eight hundred years later, you go to the Yuan Cave Star System, um, that is, the former site of the Falan Dynasty. I will leave a letter for you there."

He still couldn't bear to see Zi Gu die and gave him a chance to escape.

"Good." Zi Gu nodded. "Big brother, I will definitely go."

Whether Zi Gu would go or not, Zhao Xing didn't know, but he had done his best.

If Zi Gu didn't go in the end, then that was his fate.

Zi Gu the Heavenly Venerate drank two more cups and then strode away.

"Is there anyone else who wants to leave?" Zhao Xing asked.

No one spoke.

Zhao Xing said: "Then continue the music, continue the dance."

All the people of Great Zhou were arranged to stay in the Wuling Marquis Mansion. Except for Zi Gu, only Yun Tiandao was still wandering outside the pass.

Zhao Xing couldn't contact him, but he also left him a message.

The rest of the subjects lived in the boundary boat, and there would be no obstacles in cultivation in the short term.

Zhao Xing paid a sum of liquidated damages to the Heavenly Star Martial Arts Hall for Xia Jing, Rahu King, and others, and also made them free people.

Next, Zhao Xing arranged a cultivation plan for Liu Tianning, Long Xiao, Chen Shijie, Ye Yukong, Ji Si, Xia Jing, Rahu King, Lu Ying, Yin Xiu, and others.

With money, many things were easy to handle.

Previously, everyone was frugal, spending one cent as two. Ye Yukong had to count the time to open and close his spirit-gathering array to cultivate.

Now it was fine. Zhao Xing directly bought a top-level spirit-gathering array from the Yuanhai Hall and installed it in the Wuling Marquis Mansion.

Now they could use it as much as they wanted!

"Holy crap, is this for real?" Ye Yukong couldn't help but widen his eyes after seeing the new cultivation place: "Open twelve hours a day?"

"Brother, if I'm not mistaken, this is a high-level spirit-gathering array, right?" Xia Jing looked at the mechanical engineer directing the installation of the array and asked.

"It's a top-level spirit-gathering array." Jing Yan puffed on his pipe and glanced at Xia Jing: "Little brother, you are Xia Jing, right?"

"Eh, I am. May I ask?" Xia Jing looked at Jing Yan, thinking he was a staff member.

"Jing Yan, from the empire." Jing Yan nodded. "I've heard Zhao little brother mention you. I heard you are allergic to fishy smells. Is that true?"

Xia Jing: "..."

Jing Yan was quite surprised because he grasped a trace of disgust in Xia Jing's heart.

Really strange, is there really someone like that?

Can't even mention it?

"Then don't go north of the spirit array," Jing Yan laughed: "The spiritual energy there is very high-level and will turn into the shape of fish."

"Hahaha, Brother Xia must go there." Long Xiao laughed.

"You must be Long Xiao." Jing Yan turned his head to look at the laughing Long Xiao.

"Correct, I am Long Xiao, who does not change his name when walking and does not change his surname when sitting."

"Admire, admire. As expected of the sword sect style that takes a slanted path." Jing Yan gave a thumbs up.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Long Xiao was very happy. It seemed that Zhao Xing was still a good guy, often mentioning him to his brothers.

Long Xiao thought Jing Yan was praising him, but in fact, only Zhao Xing knew what Jing Yan meant by "powerful."

Jing Yan was simply admiring Long Xiao for marrying a dragon girl and having a cross-species love.

"Then you must be Chen Shijie?" Jing Yan looked at Chen Shijie, who was wearing green clothes next to Long Xiao. The latter cultivated the Treasure Mountain Art, and his aura was somewhat similar to Zhao Xing's.

"It is indeed me." Chen Shijie cupped his hands and saluted. He was much calmer; he knew that Jing Yan's strength would definitely not be much different from Zhao Xing's.

"A Heavenly Origin Pear, ascending to the Origin. Brother has a good eye." Jing Yan laughed and cupped his hands. He could see that Chen Shijie had one foot in the Origin realm, and even without resource acceleration, he was probably not far from breaking through.

"You flatter me." Chen Shijie saluted again.

"By the way, who is Ji Si?" Jing Yan scanned the crowd again.

"I am Ji Si." Ji Si walked out and saluted Jing Yan.

"Mastering two paths, cultivating the past and looking at the future, amazing, amazing."

Ji Si now followed the path of a starry sky historian and also cultivated the path of a life master.

Jing Yan naturally heard Zhao Xing mention the rumors of the Pay-as-you-go Heavenly Venerate and the Trading Heavenly Venerate in Nanluo.

Seeing Ji Si now, he immediately asked curiously: "I wonder what new tricks you have now?"

Ji Si looked at Zhao Xing, and the latter nodded.

Zhao Xing also wanted to see if Ji Si had developed any new tricks over the past few hundred years.

Then Ji Si took a white slip of paper from his arms. It was pure white and flawless, emitting a faint light.

Jing Yan asked curiously: "What is this?"

Ji Si said: "It is a life and history dual-fusion spell carried by a boundary star Dao soldier. I call it a 'Leave Request Slip'."

"It's a little toy I accidentally researched."

"What do you mean?" Jing Yan scratched his head; he didn't quite understand.

Ji Si said: "I once worked in a chamber of commerce on Qingyu Boundary Star and used this on a First Realm Origin expert. My original purpose was to make him forget a small mistake I made."

"I didn't expect that by mistake, he still remembered the small mistake I made, but inexplicably gave me a day off."

"Uh?" Jing Yan's expression was a bit strange. "Can I try it?"

"Of course you can." Ji Si walked to Jing Yan's side: "It has two styles now."

He pointed to the First Realm mechanical engineers who were building the array in front.

"If you use it on them, they will develop a psychology of slacking off, just wanting to take a vacation and play, and their work enthusiasm will be greatly reduced."

"If one of them uses it on you, you will have the thought of wanting to give them a vacation."

"The front is for main use, the back is for work use. Be careful not to reverse them."

Jing Yan couldn't wait to use the Boundary Star Dao Soldier 'Leave Request Slip' secretly on a mechanical engineer.

As a result, he found that this mechanical engineer really started to slack off and fish, and the efficiency of building the array was greatly reduced.

And when Jing Yan called the person out and handed the Boundary Star Dao Soldier to the other party, letting him use it on himself.

Jing Yan's expression became extremely wonderful.

"You damn guy, you really are a talent. I actually really wanted to give this person a vacation, and it was a paid vacation."

Jing Yan snapped his fingers and expelled this strange thought from his mind.

The mechanical engineer who was called over looked excited: "My lord, can I go rest?"

Jing Yan laughed: "What kind of daydream are you having? Continue working."

He dispelled the influence of the leave slip on this person.

"Yes, yes." The mechanical engineer continued to work somewhat dejectedly.

Zhao Xing looked at this 【Leave Request Slip】 of Ji Si, and his expression also became very strange.

What he wanted to say to Jing Yan at this moment was exactly the same: You damn guy, you really are a talent!

It's a blessing for Great Zhou to have you!

"My lord flatters me," Ji Si sighed: "Its effect is too limited. It only takes effect when there is a master-employee contract relationship, and it is easily dispelled by strong people like you. My original intention was not this at all. It can be said that the method I researched wasted a piece of Boundary Star Dao Soldier material."

Ji Si combined the Dao soldier with the spell, but the effect produced was unsatisfactory.

It was fine to make Jing Yan laugh with its cleverness, but it hadn't been of any use in reality.

"Who says it's useless? There is no useless spell in the world," Jing Yan laughed, "I am very optimistic about you. Keep working hard. Maybe one day your spell can deceive a Dao Domain expert."

Zhao Xing asked: "Ji Si, what was your original intention?"

Ji Si seemed a bit embarrassed: "I cultivated both history and life paths. Originally, I wanted to confuse the past and the future, making people unable to distinguish what year or month they were in, causing soul confusion."

A burst of laughter came from the people nearby, but Zhao Xing couldn't laugh.

Because Ji Si's intention was really like the means of some great powers.

He hadn't heard of the Ancient Kingdom of Yuanhai in his past life; I fear someone had deleted the Ancient Kingdom of Yuanhai from history.

This was at least the ability of a Reincarnation realm historian.

Did Ji Si have the bearing of an Emperor?

"Ji Si, you might be more suitable to become a historian," Zhao Xing said: "Why not spend more time in this area in the future?"

"Of course, if you want to cultivate both, that's also fine. After all, your talent as a life master is also good."

Ji Si's talent as a life master was naturally good. He cultivated both paths, and both were almost reaching the First Realm.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, I have remembered." Ji Si nodded, and many thoughts seemed to flash in his eyes.

"Eh, don't think about it now." Zhao Xing laughed and waved his hand: "Go in and cultivate first."

"This is your first time entering a top-level spirit-gathering array to cultivate. There might be some 'spirit-drunk' effect, so take it easy," Jing Yan reminded: "If you feel uncomfortable, you can call me."

"Thank you, Lord Jing Yan." The people of Great Zhou cupped their hands in unison.

"Haha, don't be so polite." Jing Yan had no airs toward these people of Great Zhou, firstly because of Zhao Xing.

Secondly, this batch of people in Great Zhou were almost all talents with good talent.

Under the premise of lacking resources, in a thousand years, they were almost at the First Realm of the Origin. Among them, Xia Jing and Liu Tianning had already broken through, which was naturally good.

Previously there were no resources, but now there were resources, and I fear their progress would be astonishing.

The facts were the same as Jing Yan guessed.

In the first month of cultivation, eight people in Great Zhou completed the breakthrough from the Ascension realm to the Origin realm.

They were Long Xiao, Chen Shijie, Ji Si, Ye Yukong, Rahu King, Lu Ying (mechanical engineer), Wei Hong (priest), and Yin Xiu.

In the second month, Liu Tianning reached the early stage of the Second Realm from the perfection of the First Realm.

Emperor Ji Che also reached the early stage of the Second Realm.

Xia Jing soon entered the perfection of the First Realm.

They were not greedy for the cultivation improvement of the spirit-gathering array. After breaking through, they turned to hone their spells. Obviously, they attached great importance to the balanced improvement of Gong and Fa. Such people were often very strong in actual combat.

Jing Yan was bored and often went to inspect, but found that he didn't need to worry much at all.

The people of Great Zhou were very self-disciplined, even the cats and dogs were self-disciplined!

"Even a sheep is almost ascending." Jing Yan felt it was very fresh. "Brother Zhao, you are really willing to spend. A cat, a dog, and a sheep, all using a top-level spirit-gathering array."

"But you have to be careful. It's fine here, but if it's outside the ancient kingdom, beasts ascending are easily taken away."

"Hmm, I know." Zhao Xing nodded.

How did the demon race of the Profound Spirit Star Domain form a cohesive force?

In the ancient era, the ancestor gods of the demon race such as the Heavenly Demon Kingdom, Cangyue Demon Kingdom, Wanhe Demon Kingdom, and Star-Eater Demon Kingdom all combined their Dao with the Dao of the Profound Spirit Star Domain and set the rule of "taking away."

That is, when those beasts break through in the Ascension realm, Origin realm, and Dao Domain realm, a void channel will appear, leading them to the territories of various demon kingdoms.

Of course, the effect of this leading away is worse now. Basically, when it comes to the breakthrough of the Dao Domain realm, it can't be led away.

If it's within the territories of the major ancient kingdoms, it's very difficult to be effective. The human race also has means to prevent it.

"Mountain cat, Cang Ni, Spirit Illusion Sheep, all have reached the Ascension realm and are breaking through to the Origin realm."

"I have the ability, so I must help Great Zhou stand firm, and standing firm doesn't rely on me alone." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"The road to longevity is long, and loneliness often makes people's minds extreme, even going crazy and deviating from the path."

"Having emotional sustenance can instead serve as an emotional anchor, reducing the probability of deviating from the path. I don't need to consider this point yet, but in the future, when ascending to the Dao Domain realm and Reincarnation realm, having emotional sustenance is also a good thing."

"Especially the Reincarnation realm." Zhao Xing looked at the endless starry sky: "The resurrection of the Reincarnation realm is divided into active reincarnation resurrection and passive ritual resurrection."

"If one day I accidentally encounter an accident and die, if Great Zhou has a group of strong people to hold a resurrection ritual for me, I can also be resurrected. The Dongyan Ancient Clan does exactly this kind of thing."

After briefly settling Great Zhou, Zhao Xing began to adjust his future plans.

"Great Zhou won't go with me. At most five hundred years, I will find a way to obtain a migration opportunity from an organization called Starfire in the Red Star Empire."

"Brother Jing, I'll have to trouble you to help out then, and take them there to settle down in advance."

Jing Yan nodded: "As long as Starfire can help Great Zhou enter the country, the settlement matters after arriving in the empire will be arranged by me."

Jing Yan also knew some of the inside story about Zhao Xing's affairs. The Purple God Mansion didn't dare to violate the rules of the Reincarnation Temple and wanted to keep Zhao Xing here to wait for the abolition of the divine ability.

But the people of Great Zhou had nothing to do with this matter, and they could leave whenever they wanted.

The short-term plan was like this: migrate Great Zhou to the Red Star Empire.

The medium-term plan was to save enough 5 trillion Red Star coins, temporarily avoid the link of abolition, and leave the Ancient Kingdom of Yuanhai.

Every plan was inseparable from money.

Zhao Xing could only set his sights on the Yueluo Mausoleum again.

"Since the Mansion Master of Purple Moon and the Mansion Master of Yuqing came, fifteen years have passed."

"The situation in the Yueluo Mausoleum is not clear. Ancient kingdoms are fighting each other, full of deceit. The battle between the ancient kingdoms and the demon race is also a life-and-death struggle." Zhao Xing pondered. "I can't continue to sit and wait for the opportunity to come; I must actively look for opportunities."

"To wait for the peaceful situation before the war returns, and to wait for the danger coefficient to decrease, I don't know when that will be."

Zhao Xing pondered and opened his eyes.

This was the cultivation space, and there was a behemoth in front of him.

Zhao Xing, who was using his mind for multiple purposes, was building a Giant Yang Straw Man clone.

"Hum~" "Click, click, click~" "Boom, rumble~"

Below the neck, the divine light was not visible, all converged.

Only the head area was overflowing with light, with divine brilliance, and frequent visions.

This was because the spell hadn't fused the treasure materials into one, and it hadn't fully converged.

"Materials from the Void Ancestor Star System, it's really not simple to gather them all. I still had to ask Du Yun to buy them."

"I spent ten thousand copies for practice, and in fifteen years, I wasted ten thousand copies of materials, only then did I cultivate this method to the Sixth Stage of the divine ability."

Ten thousand copies of materials cost Zhao Xing 10 billion Red Star coins. This was completely burning money. One must know that Lu Yuehan had racked her brains back then and only found three copies of Giant Yang Straw Man materials.

If it weren't for Du Yun having connections, Zhao Xing wouldn't have had a place to spend money even if he wanted to.

"Once the clone is successfully practiced, I will have a Giant Yang clone with combat power comparable to the late stage of the minor divine ability realm, capable of exerting the power of Giant Yang."

"The Mo Cloud Vine has also entered the growth period, but it's difficult for it to enter the peak period. My little money isn't enough for it to eat."

The King-level quality Mo Cloud Vine, entering the peak period, is the Dao Domain realm!

The vines can fully expand and cover smaller star systems.

Cultivating plant life is obviously more difficult.

"Gurgle~"

A slight bubbling sound appeared in Zhao Xing's ear, and he was startled.

"Not good, it's going to explode."

He immediately cast a spell, a shift, and moved a dark-colored poisonous mushroom in the cultivation space to the "Low Spirit Area."

The spiritual energy index here was only 5. The dark-colored poisonous mushroom exploded inside, and after the explosion, a strange wailing sound came out.

"Woo woo~~"

However, this sound was rapidly weakening. The Desolate Domain transformation also had a good point, which was that it could reduce the power of accidents, and the "Low Spiritual Energy Area" of the cultivation space was similar to the Desolate Domain.

"It seems that I should be more cautious in the future; these mushrooms are becoming more and more strange." Zhao Xing thought to himself. "The divine ability method of the Self-School is really not easy to play with."

Because the Yuanhai Realm is a purely money-burning cultivation method, it's not very exquisite. Zhao Xing upgraded it to the Third Realm and found that it had no bonus to the Tiyu divine ability.

Zhao Xing still didn't have much progress in distinguishing the life essence. This cultivation method didn't study the life essence zoning direction, but Zhao Xing's use of mushroom arms was becoming more and more proficient.

"Some of the mushrooms I threw out, even I am afraid of them." Zhao Xing muttered, "Unless it's a last resort, I'd better not use those unknown mushrooms."

This Tiyu divine ability of the Self-School was more or less evil. Zhao Xing, who was in the Third Realm, was a bit afraid. Even after cultivating the soul-will divine ability "Killing Thought Blade," he would feel terrified and instinctively afraid when facing some unknown mushroom experimental species.

Time passed, and it soon came to the year 1145 of the Shixin era.

Since returning from Nanluo, more than a hundred years had passed, and since the Mansion Master of Purple Moon and the Mansion Master of Yuqing came, 80 years had passed.

"Hoo~"

"Sigh~"

In the cultivation space, a giant suddenly opened his eyes, and the airflow exhaled from his nostrils shook the space, blowing up a storm comparable to a Third Realm spell.

"The opportunity has come." The giant muttered to himself, and then the whole person disappeared, leaving only a small black dot in the air, which was Zhao Xing's true body.

"Twenty-one years after I practiced the first Giant Yang clone, the best time to re-enter the Yueluo Mausoleum has finally been found."
