Chapter 387
Zhao Xing looked down at the three ancient coins before him, his heart trembling.
The ones placed around him by Bai Yang were called 【Spirit-Burying Ancient Coins】; they were sacrificial items, yet they were different from Seven-Star Ancient Coins.
Seven-Star Ancient Coins were used for burials, but Spirit-Burying Ancient Coins were "magic coins" used to deal with wandering souls and heroic spirits.
The three Spirit-Burying Ancient Coins were inscribed with Heaven, Earth, and Man respectively, protecting the life soul, heavenly soul, and earthly soul.
While positioned between the magic coins, neither wandering souls nor heroic spirits could see Zhao Xing, nor could they harm him.
However, there was an upper limit to their power; if the wandering soul had been in the Dao Domain Realm during their lifetime, they would be completely useless.
Although the entity possessing Bai Yang was not a wandering soul but a "heroic spirit," the magic coins should have been effective against it; yet, this heroic spirit was too powerful, and the magic coins would likely have no effect.
Even the Grand Historian's Crown worn on Bai Yang's head was useless, so why count on these three ancient coins?
They were not Profound Spirit Ancient Coins or Five-Emperor Coins.
"What are you looking at?" Bai Yang turned his head back. "Why aren't you leaving?"
"I cannot leave." Zhao Xing pointed to the three ancient coins on the ground: "You haven't taken back the Spirit-Burying Ancient Coins."
Bai Yang looked at the 【Spirit-Burying Ancient Coins】 on the ground and did not move.
A murderous intent suddenly surged in Zhao Xing's heart!
Because he realized one thing: the heroic spirit Ruan Chang had perhaps reached some kind of balance with Bai Yang.
Bai Yang's own abilities, along with the Grand Historian's Crown on his head, were no small matter either.
Possessing two great divine abilities, Bai Yang, even if not at Du Yun's level, likely wasn't far off.
If, in this current state, Ruan Chang dared not touch the Spirit-Burying Ancient Coins, did that mean he was the final straw that broke the camel's back?
That was why he asked deliberately, because he didn't need to move at all; he could walk out on his own!
And Bai Yang, or rather Ruan Chang, actually did not come to move the ancient coins.
"Good."
"Zhao Xing, stay here." Bai Yang gave Zhao Xing a deep look, then turned and left.
Zhao Xing watched Bai Yang's retreating back, his eyes flickering, but in the end, he gave up on activating his Killing Thought Blade.
"Bai Yang's soul must not be dead yet. If I activate it now, I might kill him. It's possible this Ruan Chang is intentionally baiting me to attack."
Zhao Xing couldn't gauge the situation well because he didn't know which side his attack would help win.
If it helped Bai Yang, that would naturally be good, but if it helped Ruan Chang, everyone would end up dying here.
"The panel displays Bai Yang's name, Yang Baihe. If he were completely controlled by the heroic spirit, it should only display 'Heroic Spirit Puppet'."
Zhao Xing himself had a Giant Yang clone, so he wasn't afraid of life-threatening danger, but Jing Yan was still here.
"Spirit-Burying Ancient Coins, rise."
Zhao Xing sat cross-legged, but three small figures flew out from within his Giant Yang clone and jumped into the middle of the magic coins.
His Three-Spirit Life Palace, the Heaven, Earth, and Man souls, were just enough to lift these three Spirit-Burying Ancient Coins.
Moving them without breaking their protective effect required specific treasure-control spells if one were anyone else.
"Zhao Xing~~~"
A faint, ethereal voice rang out.
Zhao Xing's scalp tingled; he didn't dare look around and immediately cast a spell.
Hum~
The three ancient coins seemed to form a moving circle, and the Giant Yang clone began to move rapidly toward Jing Yan's direction.
Because Bai Yang was not walking in the direction they had come from; after exiting the palace gate, he went to another location, as if looking for something.
"Zhao Xing, you, you are..." Lan Hai, sitting cross-legged, was stunned to see Zhao Xing pass by.
At this moment, Zhao Xing had three ancient coins floating around him, actually moving in mid-air.
"Something is wrong, beware of Bai Yang," Zhao Xing transmitted his voice.
He couldn't help Lan Hai; the burden of carrying the Spirit-Burying Ancient Coins was not small.
"What? How do you know..." Lan Hai wanted to ask more, but Zhao Xing had already disappeared into the 'crowd'.
Lan Hai's expression was uncertain, but in the end, he chose to stay where he was.
Compared to Zhao Xing's words, he trusted Bai Yang's "do not move" more.
Swoosh~
The range covered by the Spirit-Burying Ancient Coins around Zhao Xing was about a hundred meters in radius. There were many 'people' in the sky and on the ground, but they all involuntarily avoided the Spirit-Burying Ancient Coins.
Fairy Hongtao also saw Zhao Xing flying over her head.
However, she didn't ask any questions, because she didn't care about the life or death of others.
"Swish~"
Zhao Xing quickly found Jing Yan's resting place.
This guy was smoking, watching the ancient city's bustling traffic with great interest, seemingly completely unaware of the danger.
"Zhao Xing?" Jing Yan was startled.
"Old brother, you really have a big heart," Zhao Xing looked at Jing Yan, speechless.
"How can you prove you are Zhao Xing?" Jing Yan asked seriously.
"I cannot prove it myself," Zhao Xing shook his head. "Now you must rely on your own wisdom to judge if it is me."
"Fine, tell me what happened first. Where is Bai Yang?" Jing Yan asked.
"Bai Yang has a problem. He has been possessed by a historical heroic spirit and I don't know where he went. I've come to take you away," Zhao Xing said rapidly.
"Go where?" Jing Yan asked. "We don't know the way; only Bai Yang knows."
"Try to find it," Zhao Xing said. "It's better than sitting here waiting for death."
Jing Yan fell into deep thought.
"You can keep thinking; no matter how long it takes to figure it out, I will wait for you," Zhao Xing said. "I must save you."
It didn't matter if the Giant Yang clone was lost, but Jing Yan had saved his life before.
Now that both of them had arrived here, he naturally had to ensure Jing Yan got out.
"Fine, I'll go with you," Jing Yan nodded.
"Wait, don't move yet."
Zhao Xing reached out a finger, and three more souls split off, carrying the Spirit-Burying Ancient Coins.
Now he had six Spirit-Burying Ancient Coins guarding him.
"Do you know how to use them?" Jing Yan was curious, because he had tried touching them before but found he couldn't touch the coins at all.
They were lying at his feet, yet they seemed illusory.
He couldn't even touch them, let alone move them; he could only walk out himself.
"Don't ask so much, let's go first."
"Good," Jing Yan nodded. "We two are really unlucky this time. After we get back, I must file a complaint with the embassy!"
"Zhao Xing~~~"
"What?" Zhao Xing frowned and looked at Jing Yan.
"?" Jing Yan also looked at Zhao Xing, not knowing what he meant.
"Nothing, let's hurry up and leave. This place is too evil." Zhao Xing felt he had forgotten something, but there was no time to think about it, so he took Jing Yan and hurried toward the outside of the city.
Yu Tianqing felt terrible right now.
Ever since he was teleported into this ancient tomb, everyone seemed to have forgotten him.
Not only did Zhao Xing and Jing Yan forget him, but even Bai Yang, that Great Divine Ability Realm expert, ignored him.
At first, he didn't notice, because he was someone who didn't like to socialize anyway.
With Bai Yang leading the way and Zhao Xing and Jing Yan on his left and right, he just needed to follow.
When there was a battle, he just needed to follow along.
It was only at the moat that Yu Tianqing began to feel something was wrong.
Because he also looked at the river surface, but didn't see any reflection.
But he felt a strange change happening to himself, which Yu Tianqing couldn't explain clearly.
This change seemed to make him special: because the Copper History Law mentioned by Bai Yang didn't take effect on him.
Yu Tianqing was puzzled and asked Zhao Xing about it.
But Zhao Xing ignored him.
He thought Zhao Xing was thinking and didn't think much of it.
Along the long moat, Yu Tianqing kept staring at the river below, but never saw any reflection.
When they entered the city gate, Daoist Bai Yang suddenly stopped and made everyone stare at his ancient crown.
Yu Tianqing didn't understand, but he followed suit, because Zhao Xing and Jing Yan were doing the same.
After entering the city, Yu Tianqing had even greater doubts.
As soon as he entered the city, he heard other cultivators under Bai Yang's command saying words like "lifelike" and "furnace."
But Yu Tianqing found it very inexplicable.
Because he only saw scrolls flying in the sky and on the ground; scrolls and paper figures made up the houses and pavilions in the city, and even the ground was huge paper.
It was clearly ridiculously fake, so why did those people say it was lifelike?
Yu Tianqing could no longer suppress the confusion in his heart and first asked Zhao Xing what he saw.
As a result, Zhao Xing still turned a blind eye to him.
Jing Yan was in the same situation, completely ignoring him.
Yu Tianqing understood that he had been forgotten by them.
Under the scorching sun, Yu Tianqing broke out in a cold sweat.
Now no one remembered him, including Bai Yang, that Great Divine Ability Realm expert!
When he was handing out the hairbands and ancient coins, he also directly ignored him.
Yu Tianqing really wanted to wake Zhao Xing and Jing Yan up, but he didn't dare act rashly.
Even in his mortal days, he knew not to wake someone who was sleepwalking. Now that he didn't know the method, how could he touch Zhao Xing and Jing Yan at will?
Yu Tianqing followed Zhao Xing, whispering in his ear: "Zhao Xing~ Zhao Xing~"
But it was useless; Zhao Xing still couldn't hear him.
Yu Tianqing watched helplessly as he followed Bai Yang into a paper palace in front.
He felt there was danger there. If Zhao Xing didn't stop, even if it might hurt Zhao Xing, he would have to forcibly keep him back.
"His clone is not omnipotent. The damage to the soul here might affect his true self..." Yu Tianqing watched with worry.
Fortunately, Zhao Xing stopped.
Three ancient coins were dropped beside him, and after putting on the ancient crown, he stayed outside the palace gate.
Yu Tianqing breathed a sigh of relief.
He couldn't care about Bai Yang; as long as Zhao Xing didn't have any problems, it would be fine.
Yu Tianqing waited for a long time.
Suddenly, Zhao Xing stood up.
Bai Yang also came out.
Yu Tianqing looked at Bai Yang at this moment, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Because he saw a double shadow inside Bai Yang's body.
The double shadow had many black characters on it, dense and numerous, like wriggling earthworms, burrowing into every part of Bai Yang's body.
A scroll inside Bai Yang's body was slowly glowing, resisting the erosion of that black double shadow.
But his body had already lost control!
"Get away! Don't come over!" Yu Tianqing roared, blocking in front of Zhao Xing.
For the first time, Yu Tianqing was seen by someone!
Daoist Bai Yang gave Yu Tianqing a deep look:
"Good."
"Zhao Xing, stay here."
Daoist Bai Yang walked away just like that. Yu Tianqing watched his retreating back, feeling uneasy.
He started calling Zhao Xing's name again.
"Zhao Xing~~~"
And Zhao Xing seemed to be frightened by the scene just now and ran away quickly!
"Zhao Xing is indeed powerful."
"He can actually use this kind of ancient coin."
"My calling seems to have worked? Can he hear me now?"
Thoughts flashed through Yu Tianqing's mind, and he hurriedly chased after him.
Yu Tianqing heard the conversation between Jing Yan and Zhao Xing.
He admired Zhao Xing's wisdom more and more; being able to remain calm in such an environment, and not wasting time proving himself when facing Jing Yan.
Yu Tianqing knew very well that although he was special, he didn't know how to get out.
He had to communicate with Zhao Xing.
But he had no other way and could only keep calling.
"Zhao Xing~ Zhao Xing~"
"What." Zhao Xing looked at Jing Yan.
The latter looked blank.
"... his place is too evil, let's hurry up and leave."
Zhao Xing had Jing Yan move closer and flew toward the city gate.
Along the way, he saw many "team members," all recruited by Bai Yang.
Zhao Xing gave each of them a word of warning.
Not because he was kind, but because he didn't want them to be used.
"If the Unofficial History heroic spirit devours their memories, it might be able to completely kill Bai Yang."
"May you be blessed."
Zhao Xing sighed; he understood that these people would likely find it hard to get out.
If even a proper Starry Sky Historian like Bai Yang encountered danger, then the other two teams of Starfire would likely find it hard to get out too.
If they couldn't get out, even if the Unofficial History heroic spirit didn't kill them, the final result would be the same: death.
"Swoosh~"
Zhao Xing arrived at the city gate and began to walk out.
The city guards didn't seem to care about Zhao Xing and didn't even stop him.
Zhao Xing and Jing Yan successfully entered the tunnel.
"Why are we leaving the city? Didn't you say the tomb owner left a way out?" Jing Yan asked.
"Let's leave the city first and see if we can fly directly out of this small world," Zhao Xing said. "It's safer than looking for an exit inside the city."
"Oh."
The tunnel was short, and Zhao Xing and Jing Yan walked through it quickly.
However, both of them were soon stunned.
Because they appeared inside the city again.
It was as if the road they just walked wasn't the road out of the city, but the road into the city!
"What is this situation?" Jing Yan's eyes widened. "How did we come back into the city?"
"This is a bit troublesome," Zhao Xing shook his head and said: "The moat is a Copper History Law divine ability, and this city likely possesses a 'Boundary Cultivator' divine ability."
"Boundary Cultivator?" Jing Yan asked in surprise: "You don't mean that incredible ability of Boundary History Correction, right? Can't it be some kind of soul-bewitching formation?"
"The moat outside is Copper History Law; the city must be even more advanced."
"This kind of divine ability can modify the history of a small world. No matter what changes occur, the world line will converge, and the people inside will definitely follow the plot written by the historian... Do you understand what I mean?"
"Not really," Jing Yan smiled: "But you can also think on the bright side; there is no worse situation than this, right?"
"You usually like to read the historical materials excavated from the Yueluo Mausoleum. I believe you can lead your brother out."
Zhao Xing forced a smile: "Yes."
In reality, he had no confidence either.
If it were just this, it would be fine; the most feared thing was that the tomb owner also had the ability to distort history.
"I hope it's not a City of Historical Nihilism," Zhao Xing prayed in his heart. "If it really is, everything I know will be useless..."
At this moment, Zhao Xing's true self was on the Ruirui Star Continent, frantically flipping through historical materials about the Yueluo Ancient Kingdom.
He spent 100 million Red Star Coins to buy all the materials he could.
But there was very little information about the character "Ruan Chang."
Having no choice, he could only ask Du Yun for help, hoping Du Yun could help purchase some 【Historical Materials】 with higher encryption levels.
Du Yun didn't hesitate and quickly sent the purchased materials over.
After buying them, Du Yun couldn't help but sigh to the guard "Jiuli" beside him: "I heard this kid has been farming non-stop in Nanluo for a day, yet he still has time to look at these historical materials."
"His energy is truly abundant."
"Perhaps that is precisely why he can find so many treasures," Jiuli said.
"Makes sense," Du Yun nodded: "I'll take a look too."
Du Yun usually either handled affairs in the prefecture or cultivated. Apart from these two things, very few things could interest him.
A high cultivation base didn't necessarily mean a broad knowledge base. Looking at the materials Zhao Xing bought, which were complex and profound, Du Yun suddenly felt sleepy.
"Forget it, I'm still not interested," Du Yun threw the materials aside. "Anyway, I have a long lifespan, I'll look at them later."
If Du Yun wanted to look, he would directly look at the conclusions summarized by historians and scholars. What Zhao Xing was looking at were "clues."
Because Du Yun himself had high authority, many of the things he sent over actually exceeded Zhao Xing's purchasing power.
However, Du Yun didn't like to look at them himself, which allowed Zhao Xing to take advantage of it.
"How is it, Brother Zhao? Where are we going now?" Jing Yan asked.
"We... hmm?" Zhao Xing suddenly pricked up his ears and then looked at the ground.
He saw something flash across the ground, as if a scratch appeared, like an illusion.
"Zhao Xing~ Zhao Xing~"
It started again!
Zhao Xing took a deep breath, frowning.
Who on earth was calling his name?
"My Will divine ability is not strong enough; I'm afraid I've ignored something."
A fifth-tier Will Law divine ability was enough in other places.
But in a place like this, Zhao Xing felt he couldn't see through many things.
"We won't move," Zhao Xing said. "Let's stay here for now."
"If we rush around, problems will likely arise."
"I will digest the clues I bought first and hone my Will divine ability."
"No, little brother, you're learning it now?" Jing Yan's eyes widened.
"I have another way," Zhao Xing said.
"Tell me."
"I can ask Du Yun for help." Zhao Xing didn't put the treasure 'Yellow Sand Crossing' on his Giant Yang clone.
But he had the coordinates!
The Star-Moving Plan ensured that no one could leak secrets because everyone was teleported directly into the tomb. But the people of Starfire wouldn't think that Zhao Xing would have coordinates.
Of course, Zhao Xing wasn't sure if Du Yun would come, or if he could save him and Jing Yan.
"No," Jing Yan shook his head: "Starfire has Starfire's rules."
"The other two groups of Starfire don't know the situation yet. If you tell Du Yun, it's equivalent to snitching. If the other two Great Divine Ability experts are awake, they will definitely sense it immediately and come over to eliminate the snitch."
"Trading your life for a future means taking such risks."
"Even if you are still alive, you will be on Starfire's blacklist from now on."
"I won't do anything that harms the Empire's interests, not even if I die," Jing Yan said.
He didn't even ask Zhao Xing why he could call Du Yun over and directly rejected the proposal.
Zhao Xing nodded; he also knew that Starfire wasn't easy to talk to.
The Empire's underground intelligence organization was full of ruthless people. When it involved the interests of the motherland, what kind of face was there to talk about? Even Jing Yan could be taken out!
If he dared to sell Starfire's intelligence, he wouldn't just lose a clone; his true self would face pursuit, and the influence of the Red Star was even more terrifying than the Dongyan Ancient Clan.
"Then it depends on how tough your life is," Zhao Xing said. "If I can see through the secrets here, you can live."
"Just go ahead and do it," Jing Yan smiled: "As long as I don't betray the interests of the Red Star Empire, whether I live or not depends on God's will."
Zhao Xing didn't speak again and closed his eyes.
Ever since he decided to start doing this, that inexplicable voice also disappeared.
It was as if he had made the right choice.
Nanluo No. 21 Star Continent Group, Hurui Star Continent, Eastern Continent.
"Ai He," Zhao Xing summoned a small team leader of the Si Nong.
"My lord." Ai He was a second-tier perfect Si Nong, and he was the most outstanding among the thousand people.
He hadn't rested for as long as Zhao Xing hadn't rested.
"Help me go to the two armies and three continents to acquire Viper-Eels or Fire Turtles. They must be alive, preferably second-tier. If the quantity is large, first-tier is also fine."
"Live Viper-Eels and Fire Turtles?" Ai He was very puzzled.
The materials on these things weren't valuable. Why did Zhao Xing want them, and live ones at that?
"I don't know how much you are paying, my lord," Ai He asked.
"100, 00 Yuanhai Coins per Viper-Eel, 200, 00 per Fire Turtle. They must be alive and their combat power preserved," Zhao Xing said.
He still had 1. billion Red Star Coins in funds, which converted to over 500 billion Yuanhai Coins.
Money makes the mare go; he was too lazy to catch them himself anyway. These things were everywhere in the Nanluo No. 21 Star Continent Group.
"Good, I will handle it for you, my lord," Ai He nodded.
After this order from the No. 18 Yunxiao Palace was issued from the Eastern Continent, it quickly spread to the military bases on the Western, Southern, and Northern Continents.
Because building the base required killing the monsters on the star continent, this was equivalent to picking up money along the way!
Especially those stationed troops, because the place occupied by King Tianji wasn't a key location, the stationed troops had almost nothing to do.
The work was done by the Si Nong and the Mechanism Masters; they were truly bored to death, so their enthusiasm was very high.
"Have you heard? There's a fool on the Eastern Continent who is actually buying Viper-Eels and Fire Turtles at more than double the price."
"Oh? There's such a thing? Now the poison sacs of Viper-Eels are less than 50, 00, and Fire Turtle shells are only a little over 100, 00. Why is someone still buying this?"
"Who knows? Some people in our team caught a few and took them over, and they really got the money. I plan to go take a look today too. Anyway, cleaning up Viper-Eels and Fire Turtles is our Youxu Army's defense duty."
"Makes sense, I'll go take a look too."
Shen Chen's Nanhe Army and Youxu Army had a total of over 10, 00 people left to station on the star continent.
Originally, they didn't plan to do this kind of rough work; after all, there was no money, so they let the Mechanism Masters and Si Nong do it.
Now they had a reason to do it.
This news spread from ten to a hundred, and soon more and more people joined.
They called friends and companions to start catching Viper-Eels and Fire Turtles.
In short: the person is stupid, has lots of money, come quickly!
Eastern Continent, Zhao Xing's true self looked at the mountains of Viper-Eels and Fire Turtles tied up tightly, a trace of murderous intent appearing on his face.
He released the restraints on the Viper-Eel and also released his own.
The desire to kill kept rising!
"Roar!"
The Fire Turtle stretched out its head, its sharp teeth flashing with cold light, wanting to swallow Zhao Xing.
"Hum~"
A blood blade flashed in Zhao Xing's eyes, reflected in the Viper-Eel's mind.
"Bang~"
The Fire Turtle's soul was slashed and extinguished by the Killing Thought Blade.
"Puchi~"
Zhao Xing held a knife and used brute force to chop off its head.
Blood poured down like a waterfall, and Zhao Xing was scalded red.
"Chi chi chi~"
The Fire Turtle's residual consciousness, like a piece of chaos, attacked Zhao Xing's sea of consciousness.
This was the characteristic of low-intelligence monsters.
Their "spirit" wasn't enough to form wisdom and was scattered throughout their blood.
By pouring blood, Zhao Xing could feel the impact of every drop of blood on his will!
"10, 00 Viper-Eels can only increase it by 1%, but 1, 00 Fire Turtles can increase it by 1%. Clearly, the effect of Fire Turtles is better."
"It is born in the earth's fire veins; the impact of will plus the origin of fire can help grow the heart fire, producing a more intense sense of impact."
"Ai He, only buy Fire Turtles from now on," Zhao Xing said.
"Yes."
Zhao Xing continued to kill.
In one month, the Nanhe Army and Youxu Army got him more than 100, 00 Fire Turtles!
And Zhao Xing also killed over 100, 00 second-tier Fire Turtles!
【Killing Thought Blade: Divine Ability Sixth Tier (1%/100%)】
"Advanced!"
Zhao Xing was intoxicated by the killing. 100, 00 Fire Turtles only cost him 20 billion Yuanhai Coins.
The turtle shells could be sold for half the price, so he actually only spent 10 billion Yuanhai Coins.
However, when upgrading to the sixth tier of divine ability, the effect was greatly reduced.
100, 00 Fire Turtles could only increase it by 10%.
As for the Viper-Eels, they were already completely ineffective.
The eleventh month.
"Puchi~"
Zhao Xing killed a Fire Turtle, and his entire temperament became somewhat terrifying.
Ai He in the distance looked at Zhao Xing's back, somewhat terrified.
"1, 10, 25 Fire Turtles, all second-tier, just to satisfy the desire to kill?"
"What a pervert." Ai He looked at the scene. For eleven whole months, the wailing of Fire Turtles on the Eastern Continent had never stopped.
In the place where Zhao Xing cultivated, a sea of blood turtles had even formed; that was all the blood of Fire Turtles!
"Having such a pervert as a boss, I have to be careful in the future," Ai He shrank his neck.
"Fire Turtles are no longer working. Second-tier Fire Turtles can't give me a sense of impact," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
1. million Fire Turtles; he absorbed the impact of will during the killing. Eleven months of cultivation had forcibly raised the "Killing Thought Blade" to the seventh tier of divine ability!
For this, Zhao Xing spent 220 billion Yuanhai Coins. Of course, he also obtained over a million Fire Turtle shells, which could be recycled and sold to get back half the money.
"To rise further, I have to kill third-tier monsters, but that's not easy to find," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "The surrounding star continents don't have third-tier ones."
He flew back, and Ai He shrank his neck.
A seventh-tier Will divine ability; now Zhao Xing could kill Ai He with a single glance. Such a terrifying aura made Ai He unable to breathe.
"Withdraw!" Zhao Xing retracted his aura.
"Ai He, how is the progress of the Eastern Continent's construction?" Zhao Xing asked.
"My, my lord, our progress is very fast; we have completed 60% of the expected tasks," Ai He reported.
The original fifty-year construction period, Zhao Xing's side spent about eight years to complete 60%.
Please... you... bookmark_()
It was purely out of fear!
The wailing of Fire Turtles was like a reminder to all the Si Nong of Yunxiao Palace that if they didn't work hard, they might be killed by their perverted boss.
And after Zhao Xing stopped killing Fire Turtles, these people didn't dare to slack off at all.
If he didn't kill Fire Turtles to vent, would the next step be to kill people to vent?
"You don't need to be nervous," Zhao Xing smiled, baring his teeth. "I was just cultivating, no other meaning. Ai He, pass the order down, rest when it's time to rest."
"Yes." Ai He and the other small team leaders nodded respectfully.
They were even more afraid.
Zhao Xing was too lazy to care about them and came to the base palace to close his eyes.
On the other side, the Giant Yang clone opened its eyes.
He looked to the left and saw a blurry figure, vaguely familiar.
"Grass!!"
Zhao Xing almost jumped up.
At this moment, the soul aura awakened on the clone, and seeing Yu Tianqing's position, he immediately remembered.
He didn't just come in with Jing Yan; Yu Tianqing also came!
But he and Old Jing had forgotten him for over a year!
"I'm sorry!" Zhao Xing said sincerely.
"What are you doing?" Jing Yan was stunned. "Who are you apologizing to? Me? No need, we might not necessarily die; maybe the other two teams of Starfire will find us..."
"I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Yu Tianqing." A blood blade flashed in Zhao Xing's eyes, reflected in Jing Yan's eyes.
The next second, Jing Yan also remembered.
"Holy crap, Yu, Yuyu..."
Yu Tianqing looked at Zhao Xing and Jing Yan, also very excited: "You, can you see me now?"
"Yes," Zhao Xing nodded: "Still a bit blurry. We must have been hit by the tomb owner's spell 'Turn a blind eye, turn a deaf ear'."
"He is Yu Tianqing?" Jing Yan was somewhat surprised, because in his eyes, Yu Tianqing was now completely different.
"Spell divine ability, Zhang Guan Li Dai (mistaking one person for another)." Zhao Xing added. "What is certain now is that we have been hit by the divine abilities of four historians."
"Turn a blind eye, turn a deaf ear, memory forgetting, Zhang Guan Li Dai," Zhao Xing said.
"The combination of four divine abilities caused us not to remember Yu Tianqing, and we couldn't see or hear him."
"Even if we broke the first three, Yu Tianqing would still look like someone else in our eyes."
"These four laws all belong to the two major categories of 'Ten Tables' and 'Eight Books'."
"This, this is too terrifying." At this moment, Jing Yan still couldn't believe this was Yu Tianqing, but Zhao Xing told him it was.
One was his own cognition, the other was what Zhao Xing told him.
Two thoughts were fighting, but with only the 【Zhang Guan Li Dai】 divine ability affecting him, he could still recover his sanity.
"It is very terrifying," Zhao Xing sighed. "The divine abilities of ancient historians are enough to change dynasties without bloodshed, so these divine abilities have been deleted and are not allowed to circulate."
Imagine one day the ruler wakes up and finds that all his ministers see him as an enemy and start hacking away with knives.
It is different from illusion; if illusion is probed by the soul, it is easily discovered.
But the historian's divine ability is to modify memory or forget, which is easy to get away with. Soul searching would only reveal fake memories!
"Zhao Xing, Jing Yan, I have followed you all the way," Yu Tianqing seemed to have finally found his organization and was very excited. "You are finally normal."
"Tianqing, for the past year, were you the one calling me?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Yes, I kept calling you and Jing Yan, but you couldn't hear me." Yu Tianqing walked over, holding a carving knife, and pointed to the ground: "The words I wrote on the paper couldn't be preserved at all and were erased in a very short time."
"Paper?" Zhao Xing recalled the feeling of stepping on the ground when he first landed. "You said this ground is paper?"
"Yes, can't you see it?" Yu Tianqing asked.
"How could it be paper?" Jing Yan stomped his feet. "It's clearly ground."
Zhao Xing took a deep breath. Even now, his Will divine ability was at the seventh tier, and he still couldn't see that the ground was paper.
Even if Yu Tianqing told him, he still thought it was ground, including the touch, the earth vein fluctuations, etc.; everything fed back was ground!
Of course, another feeling would occasionally flash in his mind.
His brain's ability to distinguish truth from falsehood now had a clear divergence; 90% believed it was ground, 10% felt it was paper.
"Tianqing, tell me in detail about your experience this year," Zhao Xing said.
"I didn't find anything at first, until..."
Yu Tianqing began to narrate.
"So that's how it is," Zhao Xing suddenly realized.
No wonder when Bai Yang left, he said: "Good, Zhao Xing stay here."
Instead of "Good, you stay here."
Why did he use the third person? It turned out Yu Tianqing was beside him.
Was it not himself and the magic coins that Bai Yang, or rather Ruan Chang, feared, but Yu Tianqing?
"No, old brother, why are you fine?" Jing Yan asked suspiciously. "You have no ancient crown to protect you, nor magic coins to guard you, yet you can see the original appearance of this place."
"I don't know," Yu Tianqing shook his head: "I just saw it."
Zhao Xing's heart moved, and he aimed his panel detection at Yu Tianqing.
【Yu Tianqing】
【Profession: Mechanical Warrior】
【Realm: Third Tier (Small)】
【Innate Great Divine Ability: Eye of Breaking Delusion】
Zhao Xing quickly understood, because in Yu Tianqing's information, the 【Eye of Breaking Delusion】 column was like a golden legend, blinding his eyes.
It was too eye-catching; he saw this divine ability at a glance.
"Great divine abilities are divided into acquired learning and innate birth. Yu Tianqing is a Mechanical Warrior; did he dig out an innate great divine ability from his body's treasures?"
"Truly worthy of being a future ruler, this talent..."
Zhao Xing couldn't help but feel a bit envious.
The Eye of Breaking Delusion was undoubtedly a top-tier great divine ability in the universe!
See through the barrier of knowledge, attain the Dao in the dark!
This sentence was used to describe the Eye of Breaking Delusion.
It was a passive great divine ability.
Yu Tianqing possessed it, so he would never have any inner demons in the future, and even before reaching the Reincarnation Realm, he wouldn't have any obstacles or bottlenecks.
Because he could directly glimpse the essence of the Dao.
In addition, Yu Tianqing's talent in spells would also increase linearly.
Any mechanism formation, he wouldn't hit a dead end when learning, and he would always be in a peak state of inspiration.
It could be said that Yu Tianqing's rise began from obtaining this great divine ability.
From now on, Yu Tianqing was the true posture of a ruler, about to soar into the sky. Before this, he was just a hidden dragon.
"What's wrong with you?" Jing Yan asked suspiciously: "I saw envy and joy in your eyes. Damn, what's there to be happy about in this situation?"
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you."
Zhao Xing looked at Yu Tianqing and transmitted his voice: "Tianqing, you stimulated your body's potential in the ancient tomb and gave birth to a great divine ability."
"This divine ability is called 'Eye of Breaking Delusion'. You can go out and find relevant materials to read in the future, and you will naturally understand how to use it."
Yu Tianqing wasn't the type to be easily startled. Hearing such words, he just nodded.
"In addition, you must never tell anyone about this; you must keep it hidden."
"Especially, never come into contact with preaching scholars!"
"People with such talented divine abilities will be envied by others."
"If it becomes known, strong people will try every means to seize your bloodline."
"Only when you reach the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm can you consider letting preaching scholars imprint this divine ability of yours," Zhao Xing said.
"I have noted it down," Yu Tianqing nodded solemnly.
How did Zhao Xing's "Killing Thought Blade" come about?
It was imprinted by Zhuo En from the Asura tribe, and this divine ability was also unique to the Asura tribe.
Zhuo En said it was condensed from the Dao rhyme of 178 Asura warrior corpses imprinted from Asura tribe ruins.
He didn't say the specific process required digging bones and extracting marrow, refining bloodlines.
Because scholars who were bright on the surface and respected by others also had a dark and cruel side inside.
Of course, being cruel to alien races like the Asura tribe would have a higher acceptance level.
Many dark preaching scholars didn't care about whether it was their own race or an alien race at all.
"What secret is there that I, Jing Yan, can't hear? I'm going to die anyway, satisfy me a bit." Jing Yan leaned his head over; he knew Zhao Xing and Yu Tianqing must be transmitting voices, otherwise why would Yu Tianqing keep nodding?
"Say less unlucky things. You want to die, but my clone doesn't want to be lost," Zhao Xing pushed his head away.
"Haha, then this prince is going to live," Jing Yan laughed happily. With him around, the atmosphere couldn't get heavy.
"Brother Yu, the road ahead will depend on you to lead us," Zhao Xing said.
The tomb owner's four divine abilities were all to stop Yu Tianqing, because Yu Tianqing began to awaken his innate divine ability the moment he came in.
Since he couldn't stop Yu Tianqing, he could only cut off the connection between his teammates and Yu Tianqing.
But the tomb owner didn't expect that apart from Yu Tianqing, there was another special guy here.
Zhao Xing relied on the Asura tribe's Will divine ability to forcibly regain his memory and connect with Yu Tianqing.
Of course, the main reason was that Zhao Xing was only at the beginning of the third tier and hadn't entered the palace. If he had Bai Yang's strength, the pressure he received would be even greater.
Peers understand peers best; it was historians like Bai Yang who were pitted.
"Next, you lead the way and describe everything you see to me and Jing Yan."
"No problem," Yu Tianqing nodded.
Connecting with his teammates gave him more confidence. When Zhao Xing told him about the "Eye of Breaking Delusion," Yu Tianqing found that he could use this divine ability more easily.
The three of Zhao Xing no longer walked toward the city gate.
Because Yu Tianqing told them that the ground under their feet was a piece of paper, and the paper was flowing, including space.
It was like an ant walking on a twisted ring, always walking on the same surface.
If they walked toward the city gate, they would never be able to get out.
"When we entered the city, we heard the words about Grand Tutor Ruan Chang returning in triumph. This Biography Boundary should record the process of Ruan Chang meeting the monarch," Zhao Xing explained to Yu Tianqing.
Because Yu Tianqing didn't hear those voices at first, his use of divine abilities was still very shallow.
"Zhao Xing, did you hear that?" Jing Yan suddenly felt his heart tremble.
"I heard it," Zhao Xing shook his head. "Don't worry about others."
Zhao Xing waved his hand and put away the three magic coins.
This was where Fairy Hongtao had stayed.
Eleven months later, Fairy Hongtao was gone.
But from the pavilion next to it, a chilling voice came:
"Fairy Hongtao of the Heavenly Sound Pavilion is opening the pavilion today. She is a natural Water Origin Dao Body. A year of joy can increase cultivation by 1 epoch. The highest bidder gets it~"
Yu Tianqing glanced in the direction of the hawking. He didn't understand the meaning, but he saw Fairy Hongtao on a book building, with a charming expression, untying her clothes.
Black, tadpole-like characters were flowing under her skin.
"Zhao Xing, Jing Yan, are you still alive?" Lan Hai saw the two passing by and couldn't help but be overjoyed. "What on earth happened? Why are you back again?"
The three of Zhao Xing didn't stop and walked straight toward the palace.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Lan Hai kept shouting, but the three turned a deaf ear.
"Wait, if you are willing to lend me a helping hand, I can tell you a piece of news!"
"If you have anything to say, just say it directly. I will consider it after you finish," Zhao Xing didn't stop.
"No, you must take an oath."
Zhao Xing ignored him and continued forward.
Seeing Zhao Xing and Jing Yan about to disappear from his field of vision, Lan Hai couldn't care about that much anymore and immediately said: "I'll say it, I'll say it!"
"Bai Yang has been arrested! I saw with my own eyes that he was escorted into a prisoner cart by palace guards!"
Zhao Xing stopped and tilted his head slightly: "Describe it more carefully."
Lan Hai said: "Based on my knowledge of the Yueluo Ancient Kingdom's artifacts, what is tied to Bai Yang is the 'Slash' order. In other words, I don't know why, but he is about to be executed by the heroic spirits here!"
"Which direction?"
"Southeast."
"Thank you, you are a good person. I have considered it, let's cherish each other."
Zhao Xing walked away without looking back.
"Grass! You damn don't keep your word!"
"..."
Zhao Xing had considered it; taking Lan Hai would be an extra trouble.
He didn't know this person either, so his choice was not to take him.
Without Bai Yang in charge, he couldn't gather thirty people to act together.
Not harming people and snatching the protective magic coins in front of them was already Zhao Xing's bottom line; saving people was absolutely impossible.
"Zhao Xing, the palace is ahead," Yu Tianqing transmitted his voice: "What I see are two paper figures, both holding long spears."
Zhao Xing activated his Will divine ability and took a look, also seeing traces of spells: "Second-tier perfect book puppets, but with heroic spirits attached."
"Tianqing, look for weaknesses. You can see through the essence. As long as we find the weaknesses, it will be easier for us to take them out."
"Weaknesses..." Yu Tianqing's eyes emitted a faint golden light, "Their navels are the weak points. The heroic spirits you mentioned should be hidden in this place."
"There is something on their heads, like a gilded piece of paper with two patterns drawn on it. That is actually the place where the origin fluctuation is strongest."
After thinking for a while, Yu Tianqing waved his hand and drew the appearance of the paper.
A mechanism master creating soldiers from the void was a basic operation, and drawing was naturally not a difficult task.
Although Yu Tianqing didn't draw the charm, Zhao Xing understood immediately upon seeing it.
"Twin book puppets, Hanluo heroic spirits. The characters written above are 'Hanluo', meaning they belong to the Hanluo Army. The two patterns prove they are second-tier cultivation."
"However, they are twin book puppets, so their combat power should be viewed as third-tier."
"What does twin book puppets mean?" Jing Yan asked if he didn't understand.
"Kill one, and the other immediately absorbs the power and goes berserk, forming a three-transmission or four-transmission book puppet, with strength reaching the third tier, or even becoming a Great Divine Ability expert."
"Jing Yan, you go take them out."
"No problem," Jing Yan took out a Star Luck Coin. "If I can't beat them within thirty breaths, I, Jing Yan..."
"Don't play this set, big brother, just go up. The luck of the Star Luck Coin doesn't affect the battle with book puppets."
"Fine," Jing Yan pouted, "This doesn't feel right..."
Shoo~
Jing Yan held the Myriad Law Dao Soldier in his hand, and the Twelve Wandering Gods began to combine into twelve combat puppets, rushing toward the book puppets together.
Zhao Xing watched Jing Yan while looking around.
"Tianqing, as far as your eyes can see, are there many such book puppets?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Not many, in front of this palace gate, there are only two," Yu said.
Zhao Xing nodded: "It seems the news of Ruan Chang being arrested and executed has a certain degree of truth."
"Who is Ruan Chang?" Yu Tianqing asked.
"The last Grand Tutor," Zhao Xing introduced. "According to the summary of excavated tomb information, Ruan Chang died in battle, dying at the hands of the Guihai Monster Tribe."
"The Emperor even mourned for him and built a Reincarnation Altar to try to resurrect him."
"But unfortunately, it didn't succeed. After he died, the Yueluo Kingdom no longer had a commander-type powerhouse who could control thousands of troops."
"The above are the research conclusions of Starry Sky Historians."
"Now it seems that history is not like that," Zhao Xing said.
Heroic spirits are all Life and Death Dao Domain Realm; it's clear that Ruan Chang must have been in the Reincarnation Realm during his lifetime!
Because historians couldn't replicate 100% of the historical figure's strength during their lifetime.
If Lan Hai didn't lie, then the record in this Biography Boundary was too dark.
After this Grand Tutor returned from the expedition, not only was he not rewarded, but he was beheaded by the Emperor of the Yueluo Ancient Kingdom?
"To kill Ruan Chang, the Emperor transferred all the Hanluo Army to suppress Ruan Chang, which caused the weak defense. This is my guess," Zhao Xing said: "Now that we are entering the palace, it should be the safest moment."
Yu Tianqing was also a royal of the Pangze Dynasty and knew that these dark and dirty things couldn't be seen in the light.
No wonder they had to bring what they wrote into the tomb. If they dared to write it while alive, they would be known and dragged out to be executed immediately.
Of course, Zhao Xing was just guessing. If it were a City of Historical Nihilism, then it might just be a conspiracy theory.
"Boom~"
Just as the two were talking, Jing Yan's feet kept rubbing against the ground, splashing sparks, and he retreated in front of the two.
"Cough cough~"
Jing Yan couldn't help but cough twice; he was slightly injured.
"Fighting two small divine ability experts, knowing their weaknesses, and even launching a sneak attack, yet you are still this miserable?"
"Brother Jing, do you know why your 【North Vision Dao Soldier】 can't see clearly?"
"What do you mean?" Jing Yan looked up blankly.
"Because there is gray fog, brother."
Jing Yan: "..."
Yu Tianqing: "..."
"I don't doubt that you've been to the Empire for advanced studies anymore," Jing Yan gritted his teeth. "Your provocation and mockery ability is definitely that of a proper Imperial person."
Zhao Xing waved his hand: "Thanks for the compliment, let's go, go in."
"Wait a minute," Yu Tianqing called out to Zhao Xing as he passed the remains of the twin book puppets.
"Brother Zhao, can these two things be taken away? They look like treasures."
Zhao Xing was suddenly startled: "Almost forgot this; this forgetting divine ability is truly too strong. Take them, must take them!"
Jing Yan immediately mocked: "It seems there is also a layer of something covering your eyes."
Zhao Xing was speechless.
Yu Tianqing didn't care about the two and reached down, and two gilded pieces of paper with mysterious patterns appeared in his hand.
Zhao Xing and Jing Yan didn't see how Yu Tianqing did it.
It was as if he had fished them out of a Universe Bag.
"The Boundary possesses characteristics similar to a Universe Bag. If these two divine ability magic papers are not taken away, they will soon return to their original state and form twin book puppets again," Zhao Xing said.
"What divine ability is recorded on it?" Jing Yan asked curiously.
"Not clear," Zhao Xing shook his head. "I have to go back to study it."
"But these two magic papers must contain a divine ability martial art."
"Given its scarcity, we should be able to sell it for a few hundred million Red Star Coins."
"Hiss, got rich!" Jing Yan's eyes turned red immediately.
Yu Tianqing's breathing also became rapid.
Didn't expect that just by fighting two small soldiers, they would drop divine ability secret skills?
"Have some ambition, will you," Zhao Xing smiled: "Don't you see what kind of place we are in?"
"A tomb in the Dao Domain Realm, a place of nine deaths and one life. Isn't it normal to have this harvest?"
"Should, it damn well should!" Jing Yan nodded vigorously.
Yu Tianqing also nodded fiercely.
He wasn't someone who had seen much big money, at least relative to Jing Yan and Zhao Xing.
Now that he was told he was holding a few hundred million Red Star Coins, his hands were shaking a bit.
"If we can get back, you two won't have to worry about being poor in the future," Zhao Xing smiled. "Let's go."
Entering the palace, it was quiet inside, and they didn't see anyone at all.
Zhao Xing glanced at the various domes and quickly distinguished them.
"Except for the Yueluo Extreme Dao Hall, we can go see the other halls," Zhao Xing said. "That is where the Grand Tutor and the Emperor meet."
"As for the other palaces, because the focus of the writing is not on them, the danger coefficient is also smaller."
"Is it possible that the exit and treasures are also there?" Yu Tianqing asked by inference.
"Yes," Zhao Xing nodded, "But we don't have the Grand Beginning Crown, so it will be very dangerous to go there."
"Brother Zhao, although I really want to search for treasures, we ultimately have to go to the Yueluo Extreme Dao Hall to find the exit," Jing Yan said: "I still want to get out sooner."
Don't think about treasures at this time; saving your life is the priority!
"If you don't look for treasures, how can you pass that level?" Zhao Xing said, "I said just now that peers overcome peers. Only by collecting some treasures of historians can we deal with that level."
"Then what are we looking for?"
"Historians have three treasures: Grand Beginning Crown, Boundary Cultivator Pen, and Preaching Book," Zhao Xing said: "The Yueluo Ancient Kingdom should have them too."
"Even if the tomb owner is not a real Grand Historian, he should be a high-ranking historian. He either has a secondary one, or he has a replica."
Zhao Xing didn't mention the Profound Spirit History Book fragments because that thing was very hard to find, and even if found, it might not be taken away.
Taking the three-piece set as a guarantee would have a high chance of taking people out.
He estimated that the three Great Divine Ability experts of Starfire originally also wanted to find these three things to get out.
"Tianqing, are you ready?"
"Ready," Yu Tianqing put his hands together and then pulled them apart violently. A blurry portrait appeared in Zhao Xing's eyes.
It only existed for a short second, but Zhao Xing, who cultivated the Will divine ability, saw it quickly.
Jing Yan didn't see it at all, only seeing Yu Tianqing's movement, and then Zhao Xing nodded.
"Go that way."
Zhao Xing pointed a finger and locked onto a direction.
The three moved forward rapidly.
Before long, a beam of light rushed straight at Jing Yan.
"Careful!" Yu Tianqing shouted.
Zhao Xing immediately grew larger and protected the two.
"Boom!"
A piece of skin was torn off his shoulder, revealing flesh and blood.
Before he had time to check the injury, he heard a voice.
"Who is sneaking around, daring to break into the palace!"
Zhao Xing looked at a palace. The dark black hemispherical palace suddenly split open, and book puppets flew out.
A total of fifteen people!
The leader had ferocious horns on his head, held a fire-tipped spear, and had a totem on his chest. Just now, he had broken his defense.
Fifteen third-tier experts! The leader even gave Zhao Xing the feeling of a Great Divine Ability expert!
"Tianqing, find his weakness." Zhao Xing grew rapidly, completely guarding the two.
"Hurry up, little brother," Jing Yan said: "Where is the weakness?"
"He, he has no weakness," Yu Tianqing's face flushed red. "From head to toe, every detail is perfect. All the Dao rhyme is perfect, and the characters on the paper seem to be naturally formed."
"Huh?" Jing Yan was stunned. Yu Tianqing was also a third-tier expert, and his combat power wasn't weak. He now actually said the opponent was perfect and had no weaknesses?
"Could it be a Great Divine Ability expert?"
"Yes," Zhao Xing said seriously, "This is the aura of a Great Divine Ability expert. He should be a character who is enough to enter the Biography."
Yu Tianqing mastered the Eye of Breaking Delusion and could see the essence, but this innate great divine ability was also growth-type. He couldn't see through another powerhouse whose strength far exceeded his own.
In other words, this Great Divine Ability expert was still the one-in-a-billion genius in the Yueluo Ancient Kingdom.
Not to mention being on par with Du Yun, at least he was at the same level as Yang Baihe, otherwise he couldn't be a leader in the palace.
"This Marquis asks you one more time, who on earth are you!" The dark black book puppet held the fire-tipped spear, pointing at Zhao Xing, his eyes cold.
"Puchi~"
The second fire line pierced Zhao Xing's shoulder at a speed he couldn't dodge at all.
This injury was more serious than the last one. Zhao Xing's Giant Yang clone felt a more scorching force eroding his whole body.
"Tianqing, relay everything you see to me," Zhao Xing said. "Hurry!"
Zhao Xing's panel couldn't see non-living things, meaning he couldn't identify them. Book puppets belonged to a combination of spells and treasures, so he couldn't detect useful information.
Yu Tianqing summarized it rapidly.
At this moment, the fire-tipped spear of that guard leader had already emitted a third flame.
"Kill all..."
Just as the guard was about to order everyone to be killed, Zhao Xing gave a roar, interrupting the other party.
"Marquis Ming, wait!"
