Chapter 390: Scholar

~45 min read 8,983 words

The Giant Yang clone gripped the Time Page of the Profound Spirit History Book and, without leaving a trace, tucked it into his body.

On the Hurui Star Continent, the expression on Zhao Xing's true body became incredibly vivid.

"So that's why the World-Crossing Mausoleum Boat capsized—it was because of this thing. Its power disrupted space-time. Does that mean the location of the remaining fragments of the Profound Spirit History Book is within that river flowing in reverse formed by the 'Copper History Law'?"

"My Giant Yang clone grabbed it and triggered its effect."

After Zhao Xing tucked the Time Page into his body, his soul began to observe it carefully.

It was a sheet of white paper, thin as if it had no thickness, only half a meter in length and width, covered in fine lines.

When Zhao Xing's soul examined it, the fine lines magnified, as if countless rivers had appeared.

The rivers flowed out from the paper and vanished into the void.

"Limited to time regression within the World-Crossing," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "My true body is in the outside world, where time is normal. It is still the 1158th year of the Shixin Era."

In the year 1146, his true body and clone began to act separately; twelve years had passed since then.

Now, changes had occurred inside the World-Crossing, but the outside remained unchanged.

"It only affects the branches of the Time Dao," Zhao Xing quickly understood.

"Although I don't know exactly how to use it, I have obtained it, so I am unaffected and still remember everything, while the others do not."

Zhao Xing could not study it carefully at this moment; after all, it was just a clone, and the environment did not allow him to take it out for a close look, so he had to suppress his curiosity for now.

"Everyone, we have arrived inside the ancient tomb."

"This is a 'World-Crossing'."

"The three Great Divine Ability users of Starfire have all entered the World-Crossing..."

Hearing the words Bai Yang had spoken again, Zhao Xing glanced around and found Jing Yan and Yu Tianqing beside him.

It was just that Yu Tianqing was frowning, seemingly in the process of awakening his talent.

Zhao Xing said nothing, merely conversing with Jing Yan.

As for Bai Yang, after finishing his speech, he took out a star compass and began to find the way.

Zhao Xing tentatively asked via voice transmission: "Jing Yan, I see the other outsourced members are in groups of three or five, but there are only two of us; we're at a bit of a disadvantage..."

"Little brother, are you not counting Little Yu as a person?" Jing Yan was stunned. "Although Little Yu doesn't like to talk and has replaced all his bones, he is still a human. How can you not count him?"

"I was joking."

Zhao Xing didn't say much more; he discovered that Jing Yan still remembered Yu Tianqing. "It seems Yu Tianqing was forgotten when crossing the river or entering the city."

Zhao Xing counted again and found that the team was indeed thirty people. However, apart from Lan Hai and Fairy Hongtao, he had no particular impression of the others.

"Calculating the time, we need to find the right location in a few days," Zhao Xing pondered. "Should I warn Bai Yang this time and save him?"

Bai Yang was a Great Divine Ability user of the Historian path. If he lived, he could use the World-Cultivator Pen, the Grand Historian Crown, and the Preaching Book, unleashing part of their power.

The three of them wouldn't have to go through years of fighting and fleeing.

Who would want to fight to the death if they could just lie back?

"Although Yue Nu and Chen Xuan are also powerful, they aren't as professionally suited as Bai Yang. I don't even know if the World-Crossing Mausoleum Boat collapsed because of the Time Page, or if those two used the right items."

"If Bai Yang lives, I and Yu Tianqing won't have to work so hard. Especially since the risk of exposing Old Yu's talent and Great Divine Ability will be reduced."

Zhao Xing thought for a moment and decided to give Bai Yang a limited warning. If Bai Yang didn't listen to advice, then so be it.

"Lord Bai Yang."

Zhao Xing sent a voice transmission to Bai Yang.

"Zhao Xing, what is your question?" Bai Yang responded quickly; Zhao Xing had left a good impression on him.

The Star-Shifting Array caused slight soul tremors, but Zhao Xing, Hongtao, and Lan Hai were the quickest to react. Among them, Zhao Xing had made moves to protect his teammates, while the other two had not.

"Lord Bai Yang..."

"Just call me Bai Yang, or Captain Bai Yang."

"Yes, Captain Bai Yang." Zhao Xing weighed his words: "I noticed that what Captain Bai Yang is holding seems to be a Historian's 'Timing Disk'?"

"Oh? You noticed?" Bai Yang was somewhat surprised. What he appeared to be holding was a steering wheel for finding stars and veins, but it was actually used to set the time.

Because he possessed the Great Divine Ability of Time Regression, he could see things that had happened in the past.

In reality, the vision Bai Yang saw now was completely different from everyone else's.

Zhao Xing and the others saw a wilderness with thunderclouds overhead, but in Bai Yang's eyes, it was a scene of wind and sunshine, full of vitality, with pedestrians and flying boats constantly passing by.

By seeing the various scenes of the past, he could quickly determine the location of the Royal City through passersby and road signs.

But such a Great Divine Ability was not without danger.

Especially after entering the World-Crossing, Bai Yang had a certain probability of confusing the past with the present.

The function of the Timing Disk was an anchor point, reminding him that he lived in the Second Era of the Desolate Domain, not at other points in time.

"My teacher, Qing Yuzi, is a Si Nong of the Heavenly Time School, but he has done extensive research on history. I once accompanied him to a historian's residence and saw a Timing Disk."

Zhao Xing habitually used Qing Yuzi as an excuse.

Don't ask; if you ask, it's what Teacher Qing Yuzi taught!

"So that's how it is. Si Nongs of the Heavenly Time School are very sensitive to time... However, it's fresh that you chose the Self-Nature School." Bai Yang was quite easygoing.

Yue Nu was cold and Chen Xuan was irritable, but Bai Yang, this historian, was full of wisdom; after all, this path also developed from the Ritual Cultivators.

"Captain Bai Yang, so you are actually a historian?" Zhao Xing asked, pretending to be surprised.

"I really didn't misjudge you; your reaction is very fast." Bai Yang admitted it generously. "I didn't deliberately hide it from you; I was preparing for the World-Crossing."

"Are you planning to play the role of a warrior in the World-Crossing?" Zhao Xing suddenly thought that Grand Tutor Ruan Chang must have been a powerful warrior.

When he died at the execution ground, his aura surged into the sky, his Golden Body was massive, and he seemed to have cultivated a transformation ability; there was no doubt he was a warrior.

"Your teacher is truly knowledgeable; you guessed it so quickly." Bai Yang praised. "Correct. Starfire prepared for this trip for a long time, and I specifically learned some warrior abilities, mimicking their speech and behavior, just to integrate into the role faster when entering."

"To get a script for a certain role when entering a World-Crossing, one usually needs full preparation."

"If I am the closest to the original prototype of the role among those who enter, and no one competes with me, then the 【Label】 of that role will quickly fall onto me."

"So that's how it is." Zhao Xing looked enlightened.

It was clear that Starfire's recruitment was very particular; there was no second historian profession among the three teams.

At the same time, only Bai Yang knew the history of the ancient Moon Luo Kingdom best, so this 'protagonist' position belonged to him.

It was only when Bai Yang mentioned it that Zhao Xing suddenly thought of something; he silently sealed his memories regarding Ruan Chang, which would not be unlocked until the label was determined.

Because when he experienced the last adventure, he had seen too much from the World-Cultivator Pen, and on top of that, he had obtained many secret historical materials from Du Yun in the middle.

So he knew too much now, and combined with his warrior identity, he fit the 'protagonist' position well.

"If I don't seal the memories about Ruan Chang, and this heroic spirit possesses me, then I'm completely screwed."

Zhao Xing quickly finished the task and continued to converse with Bai Yang.

"Captain, does that mean you will become the protagonist in this World-Crossing?" Zhao Xing asked. "Are we being used as your memory anchor points?"

"Yes." Bai Yang was not afraid to talk about these things.

So Bai Yang was actively welcoming possession... Zhao Xing also understood why Bai Yang came out not long after entering the palace and did not attack them.

"Since they are figures from biographies, the historical heroic spirits that appear must be very powerful. You also said this is a Dao Domain Realm tomb; will there be any danger?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Like the appearance of Life-Death Dao Domain Realm heroic spirits or something."

"That possibility cannot be ruled out." Bai Yang said, "However, I am confident I can handle it."

You have a ghost of confidence; you died last time, didn't you?!

But Zhao Xing also understood that he couldn't be persuaded this way.

A genius like Bai Yang, who had prepared for thousands of years, was undoubtedly very confident.

How many people with high strength and outstanding talent, who are often praised by those around them, don't get carried away?

People who can maintain awe for the universe and possess a humble heart at all times are too few. They all need to be beaten a few times before they wake up.

Undoubtedly, Bai Yang was committing a major taboo this time.

Zhao Xing didn't know how to persuade him anymore, so he just asked questions intermittently.

Bai Yang was quite patient and told him many things.

It was mainly because Zhao Xing was knowledgeable that Bai Yang was willing to chat.

"Your teacher is truly knowledgeable; he actually knows so much."

"You even know that the 'Peach Replacement' method combined with perversity can replace the protagonist's position." Bai Yang couldn't help but sigh. "This method is quite obscure and has been lost for a long time."

"My teacher has always maintained awe for every path in the universe."

"So he learns a little of everything. He has been cautious all his life, and his tenet is to seek victory in stability."

"Unfortunately, his last bit of arrogance cost him his life." Zhao Xing said.

"So your teacher has already passed away? What a pity..." Bai Yang was thoughtful after hearing this.

The two did not speak again, and soon the City of History was found by Bai Yang.

Upon arriving at the moat, Yu Tianqing frowned, and his body suddenly shook.

The next moment, he disappeared right under Zhao Xing's nose, becoming transparent.

Neither Jing Yan nor Bai Yang noticed this abnormality.

Only Zhao Xing retained his memory, because nothing took priority over the Profound Spirit History Book.

If he could retain his memory after time regression, what was a mere World-Crossing?

And only after Yu Tianqing awakened his talent and Great Divine Ability and gradually became familiar with it would he weaken the power of the four Historian abilities imposed on him.

Last time, it was because Zhao Xing spent a year killing a million fire turtles, and Yu Tianqing kept working hard, that they were seen by Zhao Xing and Bai Yang.

It was just that by then, Bai Yang had no time to care.

"Don't look at the river; stare at the crown belt on my head."

Everyone arrived at the historical reflection river imposed by the Copper History Law.

What happened afterward was exactly the same.

Lan Hai sighed, Fairy Hongtao touched her belly, Yu Tianqing looked somewhat dazed...

But after crossing the river, some changes occurred.

Perhaps because he heard the story of Qing Yuzi, Bai Yang was moved, and after crossing the river but before entering the city, he did one thing.

"Main Chronicle Summoning Technique!"

A thick ancient book appeared in Bai Yang's hand, and then a small figure jumped out of the book—it was Yang Baihe, wearing a dragon robe and a canopy overhead.

Everyone else was looking at the crown belt; only Zhao Xing and Yu Tianqing noticed this scene.

Bai Yang only explained it to Zhao Xing: "This is my clone technique, capable of accepting the possession of heroic spirits."

"I once conquered a dynasty in a medium-sized small world, then unified the whole world, ascended the throne, and wrote myself into history."

"Thus, I obtained this 'Main Chronicle Clone'."

"Captain is amazing." Zhao Xing praised.

This method was indeed awesome; summoning himself, and still at the Great Divine Ability Realm!

However, Bai Yang must have spent a lot of effort; after all, the history of an ordinary small world could not provide such power.

The small world Bai Yang conquered would also be his core secret; its location could not be exposed, or it existed in an absolutely safe place.

Because if that world perished and its history was completely erased, then the Main Chronicle Clone related to it would have its strength greatly reduced, or even collapse completely.

"Zhao Xing, give me a ride." Bai Yang said.

"Okay." Zhao Xing understood in a second, his body growing a bit larger.

He originally wanted to scoop Bai Yang into his hand, but unexpectedly, Bai Yang jumped into his ear.

Seeing Zhao Xing somewhat stunned, Bai Yang smiled and explained: "People in Starfire have a habit; when riding a Qi-School warrior, the seat is in the ear."

"It's convenient for talking and easy to run out; if you swallow it into the stomach, it's not very convenient to come out, and it's not easy to observe."

"Good habit." Zhao Xing nodded.

The subsequent journey into the city was exactly the same as before, except that Bai Yang's true body was in his ear, while his Main Chronicle Clone led the way.

The whole process was only seen by Yu Tianqing; he was very puzzled, but he didn't ask any questions.

Because Zhao Xing gave him a gesture without leaving a trace.

After entering the city, they left ancient coins and crowns for the team members in turn, while Bai Yang's Main Chronicle Clone entered the palace.

Yu Tianqing received Zhao Xing's voice transmission and obediently stayed with Jing Yan.

Because Zhao Xing told him about his talent and Great Divine Ability, and instructed him to cultivate beside Jing Yan and ponder the Great Divine Ability.

Zhao Xing gave him one year to familiarize himself with the 【Eye of Breaking Delusion】.

Once he completely broke the power of the ability, Bai Yang would naturally remember him. As long as he didn't excessively expose his special features and interfere with the plot, he could just find an excuse then. Starfire wouldn't keep asking about others' trump cards and privacy.

Waiting.

This wait was longer than the last one.

Zhao Xing waited outside the palace for three years for Bai Yang's Main Chronicle Clone, while last time, Bai Yang was killed in seconds within three months at most.

"Hiss~" Bai Yang's true body slumped into Zhao Xing's ear.

"What's wrong, Captain?" Zhao Xing asked, pretending to be surprised. "Don't scare me."

"This son of a bitch is actually at the Life-Death Dao Domain Realm! And a brain-dead Grand Tutor!" Bai Yang was furious, completely losing his previous inflated mindset.

"My Main Chronicle Clone only lasted three years in the Extreme Dao Hall before being completely controlled by Ruan Chang's heroic spirit. I put five Taiyin Dao soldiers on the Main Chronicle Clone! The clone is now stronger than my true body, yet it didn't withstand the erosion."

"What?" Zhao Xing pretended to be shocked: "Captain, what should we do now?"

Bai Yang said with lingering fear: "Zhao Xing, this is all thanks to chatting with you earlier, which saved my life."

"It's fine for now; my true body is safe, so there is still room... Buried Spirit Ancient Coins, rise!"

Bai Yang cast a spell, and the three ancient coins surrounding Zhao Xing flew up automatically.

Afterward, Bai Yang took Zhao Xing and immediately hid in a wall not far from the palace.

Zhao Xing was surprised to find that Bai Yang had actually taken him into a corner space between the pages of a book.

"Sure enough, there is specialization in the arts; I don't even know how we got in." Zhao Xing looked at the white paper space around him and secretly marveled.

The corner space had three sides, left and right were white, and the front was transparent, allowing observation of the outside world and the palace gate.

Immediately after, Zhao Xing saw Bai Yang's Main Chronicle Clone appear, while Bai Yang's true body sat cross-legged, seemingly casting a spell.

This time, Yu Tianqing did not appear, and the Main Chronicle Clone controlled by Ruan Chang, just like last time, left directly.

"What a bastard." Bai Yang opened his eyes at this moment.

"What's wrong, Captain?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Ruan Chang's heroic spirit actually went to order his subordinates not to resist." Bai Yang sighed. "He was willing to be slaughtered and even made his subordinates give up resistance; those who didn't listen were killed on the spot."

"What kind of shitty Grand Tutor do you call this?"

"It is indeed a bit perverted." Zhao Xing shook his head. "What should we do now?"

"Go to the palace and take the World-Cultivator Pen, the Grand Historian Crown, and the Preaching Book. These three treasures are also the purpose of this trip." Bai Yang said, "Once we get them, we can go out."

Immediately after, Bai Yang seemed to be talking to the others: "Yue Nu, let Chen Xuan lure away the palace guards, create chaos, and create an opportunity for me."

"No problem." Yue Nu on the other side nodded, then she tapped Chen Xuan's eardrum: "Time to work, big guy."

After waiting for about half a month, a large number of book-puppet troops suddenly flew out of the palace, flying in one direction.

"Zhao Xing, come with me into the palace."

Zhao Xing didn't really want to go. "Captain, is it okay if I go?"

"Staying by my side is the safest; you can't stay in this book-corner space once I leave."

"When entering the palace, you just need to help me block sneak attacks; if we encounter important supporting characters, I will cast spells."

"Okay."

So Zhao Xing followed Bai Yang into the palace.

Bai Yang cast a 'See but not see, hear but not hear' ability on Zhao Xing.

During this time, it was smooth sailing until they met Jun Yichen.

"Who goes there, daring to trespass into the palace!"

"Pfft~"

Zhao Xing's shoulder was grazed by the Fire-Tipped Spear again.

"I'm convinced; I have to suffer again."

But fortunately, he didn't need to perform here.

Bai Yang knew the history of the ancient Moon Luo Kingdom better.

After he appeared, he threw a letter to Jun Yichen, and this person didn't even ask questions before taking people to storm the palace for a death remonstrance.

He didn't even move his lips; it was that simple.

"That way."

Bai Yang pointed the way, and Zhao Xing carried him as they flew.

The World-Cultivator Pen checkpoint was even easier for Bai Yang than for Yu Tianqing.

Bai Yang summoned the "History Book," flipped to a page, and reached out: "Pen, come!"

Immediately after, the World-Cultivator Pen flew out automatically and landed in his hand.

"Captain, isn't this too easy?" Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised.

"Only through countless trials and careful preparation can it look this easy." Bai Yang smiled. "Starfire helped me collect forty-nine fragments of the Moon Luo Kingdom's history book, each page worth the price of a Taiyin Dao soldier."

"However, only seven pages are useful, which is barely enough when combined with my spells."

"Captain is being humble." Zhao Xing said.

Not long after, the Grand Historian Crown and the Preaching Book were also taken away.

When the Preaching Book was moved, the power of the book-puppets was greatly reduced.

At the same time, the riot plot and the purge plot also began.

Sift, sift, sift~

【... he tyrant and the demon queen purged the informants; inside and outside the palace, there were countless casualties, but Yang Baihe and Zhao Xing escaped the palace safely, found their partners, and successfully reunited with Chen Xuan and Yue Nu.】

Bai Yang held the World-Cultivator Pen and wrote in the void.

Zhao Xing couldn't help but be speechless after seeing it.

Now that the three-piece set was on Bai Yang, this person was even more powerful than the tomb owner; how the plot went was entirely up to Bai Yang.

They successfully left the city, and then Bai Yang reunited with the surviving team members.

Lan Hai and Fairy Hongtao were still alive; only three unlucky guys died in the chaos, and that was because they couldn't withstand the fear and temptation and left the ancient coin area.

Eight days later, Chen Xuan and Yue Nu's team also appeared beside Bai Yang.

Bai Yang waved his hand, and everyone changed transport.

Coming out of Zhao Xing's ear, they jumped into Chen Xuan's ear.

"Giant Yang Golden Body? Hmm, still a clone... Interesting." Chen Xuan praised; this was recognition from one big guy to another.

Zhao Xing cupped his hands, shrank his size, and also entered Chen Xuan's ear.

As soon as he entered, he saw Bai Yang still writing.

【A large number of Great Divine Ability users killed each other and died in front of Chen Xuan, including experts possessing the "Copper Pass" ability and "History City" ability...】

After he finished writing, Chen Xuan began to touch the treasures.

Everything that dropped was the ability Bai Yang wanted!

"Can this profession still be played without a nerf?" Zhao Xing couldn't help but be speechless.

Bai Yang got the three treasures of the Historian, and the checkpoint became an easy mode.

Soon they arrived at the South City Gate.

Bai Yang held the World-Cultivator Pen, and these book-puppet generals inexplicably left their posts.

Then, Bai Yang came out, slashed with the World-Cultivator Pen, and the city gate automatically opened a gap.

There was no need to throw things into the tomb beast's mouth like Zhao Xing did last time.

"Hum~"

Everyone appeared outside the city.

"What did we do?" Jing Yan looked dazed.

He reviewed it and found that he hadn't done anything; he just sat in the ancient coin area and watched a play for a few years, then Zhao Xing and Bai Yang came to find him and took him on the boat.

Then they came out smoothly all the way.

Although they didn't get any treasures, there was no danger either.

"You were frightened; even if there is no credit, there is hard work." Zhao Xing joked.

In contrast, the others still encountered some crises.

For example, Lan Hai still saw the scene of Bai Yang being taken away in a prison cart and almost ran away himself; if he had been any later, he would have lost his life.

For example, Fairy Hongtao had already been captured and became a furnace again, but the ending was modified by Bai Yang with the World-Cultivator Pen, and she was saved again.

Jing Yan and Yu Tianqing were much better; with Old Yu there, the two of them had no danger at all, and they were warned early when they encountered danger.

And Zhao Xing and Bai Yang found them first, so the two of them almost just suffered some fright and completed the task.

"I originally intended for my true body to go in, and to cope with the heroic spirit possession, I arranged for you to be on the only path as a second set of anchor points to remind myself." Bai Yang explained.

Zhao Xing was puzzled: "Captain, why did you originally want to use your true body to take risks?"

"To supplement the 【Emperor Dharma Image】 and increase the power of the Main Chronicle Clone." Bai Yang sighed. "I only changed my mind later."

"Although I lost the Main Chronicle Clone now, I saved my life and completed the task; fortune and misfortune depend on each other, fate is impermanent."

"Bai Yang, stop sighing; let's get out first." Yue Nu reminded.

As for the always irritable Chen Xuan, he didn't make a sound, appearing very obedient in front of Bai Yang.

He had been beaten by Bai Yang; in Starfire's training, one item was to throw people into Bai Yang's main world to experience tempering.

Once inside, it was truly up to Bai Yang to knead, and he was trained until he had no temper.

"Don't rush; there is a road before there is a boat. Let me write a safe road first." Bai Yang smiled.

"What would happen if an outsider came to summon the World-Crossing Mausoleum Boat?" Zhao Xing asked.

Bai Yang clearly had more patience for Zhao Xing, stopped casting spells, and answered first: "Then you can only let the boat reach the bridge and go straight; how you get out depends on your face. Perhaps the Mausoleum Boat will spin for a long time before it reaches the correct road."

... fter the World-Crossing Mausoleum Boat was summoned, it took fifteen days to appear outside Dark World 42.

Everyone felt a bone-chilling cold in an instant.

Because they appeared on a satellite of the Taiyin Star.

Due to the extremely long time, the World-Crossing Mausoleum Boat collapsed directly after appearing in the outside world.

Many people could not directly withstand the illumination of the Taiyin origin so close; fortunately, there was Chen Xuan, this top-tier beast of burden, who scooped everyone up and put them in his ear.

"Captain, should we mark this place?" Chen Xuan asked.

"No need." Bai Yang shook his head: "The operation of this dark star is not fixed; it will soon not know where it is operating."

"What you see is a crescent moon, because it is about to fall into the void river, and it will only reappear in the next cycle."

"After it completely disappears, another more powerful Taiyin origin star will appear, and even your Sun Tier 3 Golden Body will be hard to withstand."

"Let's go quickly."

Please... you... collect_()

"Oh, oh." Chen Xuan didn't know what he was talking about, but since Bai Yang said to go, he had to go quickly.

So he curved his fingers into swords, cut through the void, and jumped into the void turbulence.

However, Chen Xuan moved in a shuttle-like manner, only entering the shallow void each time to use it for acceleration, and then coming out quickly.

After all, this was near the center of the Moon Luo Mausoleum, and no one knew if they would encounter terrifying turbulence; if the flow rate exceeded a limit, he wouldn't be able to jump out and would be trapped to death.

Hurui Star Continent, Zhao Xing's true body let out a long breath.

"Finally out. Starfire seems to have a plan; it shouldn't be difficult for a Great Divine Ability user like Chen Xuan to rush back."

"At most fifty years, at least ten years, he will be able to get out of the Moon Luo Mausoleum."

"However, Bai Yang might be puzzled as to why the time outside doesn't match the time he spent inside."

"But there's no way he could suspect me, let alone think of the Profound Spirit History Book fragments."

The concept of time was confused in the World-Crossing, which was normal; otherwise, Bai Yang wouldn't have brought a Timing Disk.

"Although I didn't get those ability decrees, this harvest far exceeded my imagination." Zhao Xing thought to himself. "Yu Tianqing awakened his talent and Great Divine Ability, the credit was also obtained, and I also got a page of the Profound Spirit History Book that can regress time."

He had been in the universe version for over a thousand years, and all his harvests combined couldn't compare to one page of the Profound Spirit History Book!

"Packing up and selling a hundred Purple God Mansions, people and items included, wouldn't compare to even a fraction of it." Now that there was no crisis, Zhao Xing couldn't help but be excited.

The Profound Spirit History Book was a creation of the ancient gods of history. Although the Profound Spirit History Book had many pages and he only had one, it was a very important Time Page!

"This thing is a proper divine object; it just depends on how strong its effect is and how long it can regress." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"Generally speaking, the value of a Time Page depends on the scope and the number of years."

"In my hands, it only showed the scope of regressing the small world of the World-Crossing and only regressed a few years, but that doesn't mean it only has such a small scope."

"However, it's a bit difficult to sell this thing." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"The Reincarnation Temple prohibits the buying and selling of Time Pages, and all major ancient kingdoms must abide by this rule. Because a Time Page can regress time for up to an era, since that's the case, it's also a disguised resurrection."

"There are risks in buying and selling it, but it also depends on the person. If it's a transaction between Reincarnation Realm holders, then there's no problem."

"Handing it over is an option, but the benefits gained from handing it over are too small; only a fool would hand it over."

"When I reach the Reincarnation Realm and find the right buyer, I can completely exchange it for a Reincarnation Dao soldier, or even an Emperor-level troop."

"If I don't intend to sell it, then it's equivalent to a second life. In the future, when Ji Si becomes stronger, even if I die outside, once he gets the news and brings this thing over to regress, I can be resurrected."

No matter how poor, one shouldn't sell their life; Zhao Xing didn't intend to use it to solve the trouble of the "Three God Life Palace."

"After two more versions, when the Reincarnation Temple's control is not so strong, there will be plenty of people who dare to buy it."

There was another benefit to Zhao Xing holding it: he wouldn't be afraid of calculations by Fate Masters. Any divination about him would result in coincidental accidents due to the divine object level of the Time Page.

It was similar to a divine object automatically protecting its master, but the Time Page confused the past and future, especially for Fate Masters.

"Now that this task is done, it shouldn't be difficult for me to ask Starfire to transport the people of the Great Zhou to the Red Star Empire." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Others might not have such great credit, but Bai Yang knew he had both credit and hard work.

After deciding, Zhao Xing's true body immediately contacted Ji Che.

"Che, set up a special account for Ji Si."

"Ji Si?" Ji Che was a bit puzzled. "His resources are already the most among the Great Zhou's important officials; does it need to be increased?"

"Yes, I'll give him 500 million Red Star coins; this money is only for his personal use. Afterward, Ji Si won't go with you; he'll stay by my side." Zhao Xing said.

After acquiring fire turtles and purchasing historical materials, his liquid capital was only over 700 million Red Star coins.

Now, allocating over 500 million to Ji Si in one go simply dropped Ji Che's jaw.

"Did I hear that right? Not 500 million Yuanhai coins, but 500 million Red Star coins?"

"Yes, Fate Masters control the future; investing in Ji Si is never too much."

Ji Che reluctantly accepted Zhao Xing's explanation.

In any case, it was his eldest brother's own money; he could spend it however he wanted.

And when Ji Si learned of this, he was completely dazed: "500 million Red Star coins, all for me to cultivate alone?"

"Your Majesty, Grand Si Nong, what virtue or ability do I have..."

Ji Si had seen big money in the trading market, but that was other people's money; the Yuanhai coins he operated himself hadn't exceeded 1 billion.

Now 500 million Red Star coins was 175 billion Yuanhai coins.

And this wasn't handed to him to operate, but directly used for his personal cultivation!

"Look further ahead." Zhao Xing smiled. "In the future, you'll earn this money back easily; maybe we'll all rely on you to save our lives."

"First set a small goal: ask a Preaching Scholar to let you break through to the third realm."

"Yes, thank you, Grand Si Nong." Ji Si understood very well that the Great Zhou didn't have that much money; only Zhao Xing could afford to pay for a Preaching Scholar.

"No time to lose, I'll find someone for you immediately." Zhao Xing said: "Don't be reluctant; spend it if you should."

"Yes, yes."

The Giant Yang clone was still in Chen Xuan's ear, on the way back.

To avoid the forces of various countries, humans and demons, and to face the dangers of the mausoleum itself, it would take decades to return.

But Zhao Xing had already asked Bai Yang, and migrating the Great Zhou was no longer a problem.

As for the trouble of the Three God Life Palace, Zhao Xing didn't even mention it; this matter couldn't be solved in one trip.

Don't ask for too much in one go; since Zhao Xing had already accepted Du Yun's favor, he wouldn't ask Starfire again, otherwise, it would cause Du Yun's dissatisfaction.

During the time waiting for the return, Zhao Xing didn't stay idle and began to crazily roll on the farming tasks of the Hurui Star Continent.

Three years later, his tasks on the Eastern Continent were completed.

"Came here to do tasks in the 1146th year of the Shixin Era, the project was expected to take fifty years, but I completed it in twenty-six." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

On Starfire's side, preparation took seven years, and counting the time regression, it was nineteen years in total; the actual time spent in the ancient tomb was not much.

Instead, preparation and the return journey took more time.

"Lord Hu, I have completed the tasks on the Eastern Continent." Zhao Xing said.

"Zhao Xing, you should also take a rest; how can you be so desperate?" Hu Rui looked at this subordinate. "Our Si Nong work is very boring; you must learn to relax yourself and find some fun. This can also reduce the chance of qi deviation during cultivation."

"Lord is right." Zhao Xing said respectfully. "I want to go back to exchange fire turtle materials and explore the surroundings by the way."

"Okay." Hu Rui liked such subordinates as Zhao Xing; they were diligent in their work, listened to opinions, and were very sensible. Where could one find such subordinates?

It was just that he had some strange hobbies, liking to kill fire turtles for cultivation, but this was not a matter at all.

"I will send a team of Youxu Army guards to escort you back."

"If you want to go around Nanluo 21 later, you can also call them."

Lu Yuehan had greeted Hu Rui, so of course, he had to show it, letting the other party know that he had taken care of them.

"Thank you, Lord, for your care."

In the 1172nd year of the Shixin Era, Zhao Xing returned to the base and processed the fire turtle shells.

He didn't rest for long, and in the spring of 1174, he returned to the Nanluo 21 Star Continent Group.

The Si Nongs of Yunxiao Hall 18 also had a rare long vacation, but they still had to wait for the time to settle the remuneration.

They could go around the Hurui Star Continent to rest; in short, there wouldn't be many things in the future, so they could relax for more than twenty years.

After Zhao Xing returned, he didn't call the Youxu Army guards to follow, but went around the star continent alone.

The Youxu Army guards didn't rush to protect him either; after all, there was no money in this.

In short, the Nanluo 21 Star Continent Group didn't have much value, and there weren't many bans.

Thus, Zhao Xing very smoothly followed the plan to find the Scholar's Imperial Mausoleum.

Now Zhao Xing was already at the Small Divine Ability Realm and could shuttle freely in the void.

Alone, without taking a World-Crossing Boat, and restraining his aura, his target was very small.

"Coordinates Taiyin 21, Cang'er 3, Tiangou 15. Geng Metal 7, Yi Wood 2... This is it."

Zhao Xing landed on a star continent with a spiritual energy index fluctuation of only 5-8, revealing a smile.

"After searching for eight years and visiting more than a thousand star continents, I finally determined the specific location."

With a swoosh, Zhao Xing turned into a ray of light and began to search on this plain-looking star continent.

Having found the specific star continent location, it still took Zhao Xing three years to find it.

"Bang!"

In a cold pool where spiritual energy had frozen into ice, Zhao Xing soared into the sky and then slammed heavily onto the ground.

He was frozen into an ice sculpture, but only for a moment, light bloomed inside the ice sculpture, a purple sun rose, and soon shattered the ice crystals.

Zhao Xing flew back to the side of the cold pool and used his soul's Heavenly Vision to see through the depths of the cold pool.

About 10, 00 kilometers deep in the cold pool, a translucent blue jellyfish was constantly contracting and expanding.

If one looked closely, Zhao Xing could find starlight flickering inside the jellyfish; those were clearly world stars!

"Another such moving living tomb; it's really a bit difficult for me to handle it alone." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

When he came in his previous life, this tomb had already been fixed, including the entrance and the small world, all of which had been processed.

"I bought the World-Fixing Divine Needle and the World-Breaking Beast, but I'm afraid I can't fix this imperial mausoleum." Zhao Xing calculated.

Living tomb; he had captured one when he was in Lu Yuehan's team, but at that time, he couldn't handle it himself, and it would self-destruct in only seven days.

That was only a tomb at the Small Divine Ability Realm.

Now this tomb was a Scholar's tomb at the Dao Domain Realm; it was easy for him to enter safely, but difficult to come out safely.

"If I don't fix the world, I won't know where I'll drift when I come out. And to fix such a tomb world, I can't rely on myself."

"Forget it, don't force it. Share some profits with Little Du." Zhao Xing took out the Thousand-Mile Yellow Sand Crossing.

There was a drop of his blood in the Yellow Sand Crossing; with a thought, it scattered with a splash, wrapping around Zhao Xing.

A thousand-mile Yellow River appeared under his feet, and the surrounding void layers were stacked, deriving in a very regular way, eventually forming a void river channel.

"Splash~"

The void turbulence was originally formless and qualityless, but at this time it turned yellow.

The great river surged, and at the other end appeared a tall and majestic figure; it was Du Yun sitting on the throne.

Du Yun leaned his head on his left elbow, tilted his head to look at Zhao Xing, and tapped the armrest with his right fingers, seemingly resting just now.

"There's no Dao Domain Realm near you, so why are you using the Yellow Sand Crossing again?"

He could sense that the Purple God Talisman on Zhao Xing was still there and hadn't been triggered, which proved that he hadn't encountered danger.

"You're just farming; you couldn't have discovered a treasure, could you?"

"The Prefecture Master guessed right." Zhao Xing smiled. "I really made a discovery."

"Oh?" Du Yun straightened up. "What level?"

"Of course it's the Dao Domain Realm, and based on clues, I guess it's a 【Heritage Dao Burial】 left by a scholar."

Du Yun's eyes lit up, and he immediately got up from the chair, crossing a thousand miles, and appeared beside Zhao Xing in an instant.

Many professions only become famous after death, such as Starry Sky Historians or Preaching Scholars, and their tombs are also very special.

"Are you sure this is a Heritage Dao Burial?" Du Yun asked.

"Eighty percent possibility." Zhao Xing said.

"Your luck is too strong; you could actually discover a Heritage Dao Burial?" Du Yun was somewhat surprised.

Zhao Xing was just farming on the Hurui Continent, going around casually, and could find a Heritage Dao Burial?

"It's not entirely luck," Zhao Xing said. "I bought some historical records to read beforehand, and you, Prefect, also gave me some materials. Come to think of it, I've also benefited from your good fortune, Prefect."

This explanation was very reasonable, and Du Yun almost believed it.

"I didn't know my luck was so heaven-defying; it seems you still found some clues from it."

"A scholar's Heritage Dao Burial." Du Yun marveled. "I've lived for so many years, and I've only seen it three times. Take me to see it quickly."

"Yes." Zhao Xing pointed to the cold pool beside him: "It's down there."

Du Yun immediately separated a trace of spiritual power to drill into the ground and began to investigate.

Not long after, he said to Zhao Xing: "It can be confirmed; it is indeed a Heritage Dao Burial."

Du Yun said somewhat excitedly:

"Most scholars' Heritage Dao Burials do not bury themselves, only what they learned in their lifetime."

"Because their lives often enter a countdown at the moment of battle."

"Scholars are pioneers leading the human race, but because of the limitations of the Dao, the number of times they preach in their lifetime is actually limited, and it is impossible to pass on their own Dao."

"So many scholars will try their best to build a Heritage Dao Burial in their remaining life after lifting the restrictions."

"It is said that the living space tomb was developed by Preaching Scholars."

"It will flow in the human territory all over the universe, appearing and disappearing without any regularity."

"As long as you perform worship, you can enter it to explore, so scholars' Heritage Dao Burials are usually called 'Dao Burials'; they are actually the easiest to enter."

Du Yun looked at Zhao Xing with a smile: "The Yellow Sand Crossing was really not given to you in vain. Tell me, how do you want to divide it?"

"The Prefecture Master also knows my situation." Zhao Xing said, "I also want to go in."

Zhao Xing didn't want to take only 10%; after all, solving the trouble required 5 trillion.

"Okay, in addition to 10% of the total profit, you can also go in and try."

Du Yun agreed readily; he could make the decision himself, which was much more refreshing than Starfire.

"You wait here; I'll be back soon." Du Yun followed the Yellow Sand Crossing and flew back to the exploration base.

Zhao Xing waited for half a month, and Du Yun returned.

When he came back, Du Yun opened his mouth and spat out ten people.

Among them, a Dao Domain Realm Mechanist started to set up a starry sky array on this nameless star continent without saying a word.

His dharma robe scattered a large amount of starlight; these starlight were actually planets and star continents, and they were all carved.

A total of 19, 00, directly setting up a starry sky array on the spot.

"Hum~"

When the array was formed, the entire star continent was sunk into the void river, achieving the greatest concealment.

The other three Mechanists glanced at the cold pool, and about two days later, they quickly replied: "Prefecture Master, world-fixing will take about two and a half years."

"Okay, thank you." Du Yun nodded; these were his guest ministers, not members of the Purple God Mansion, and they had deep interest ties.

There were two other Si Nongs, one of the Heavenly Time flow and one of the Earthly Benefit flow; they were not at the Dao Domain Realm, but they were both Great Divine Ability users.

After coming out, they began to transform the star continent.

"Prefecture Master, it is expected that in five years, the stability coefficient here can rise to 50, and in ten years it can exceed 70."

"It depends on how high a spiritual energy index the Prefecture Master needs."

Du Yun pondered: "Stability at 80 is enough; there is no need to be too high."

"Yes."

They built cities, fixed worlds, and improved the heavenly time and earthly benefits with clear division of labor.

Zhao Xing suddenly caught a glimpse of a corner of Du Yun's power; people who wanted to take 90% of the profit indeed had the ability to take 90%.

If someone else came, it would probably be impossible to achieve such efficiency in a short time.

Just coming from the base of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom to Nanluo 21 would take a lot of time.

"Splash~"

A figure jumped up from the cold pool.

He was wearing white scholar clothes, looked old, with silver hair. Zhao Xing glanced at the secret patterns on his body; this was a third-realm Great Divine Ability scholar, and also Du Yun's guest minister.

"Prefecture Master, I have already investigated; there are three ways to enter this Heritage Dao Burial."

"You can use Buried Spirit Ancient Coins, Po Zhu Ancient Coins, or Five Emperor Coins to worship."

"Different ancient coins correspond to different realms, and you will encounter different checkpoint tests after entering."

"Among them, Buried Spirit Ancient Coins correspond to the Origin Birth Realm and Void Realm."

"Po Zhu Ancient Coins correspond to the third realm."

"The Dao Domain Realm requires Five Emperor Coins."

Du Yun smiled: "It seems this scholar's first checkpoint chose the way of a priest."

Preaching Scholars are almost all-encompassing; they can use whatever profession's method they want to screen.

"Zhao Xing, do you have Po Zhu Ancient Coins?" Du Yun asked.

"No." Zhao Xing shook his head; actually, he had prepared, but now he had to say he didn't. He discovered it by accident; how could he be so well prepared?

Besides, Du Yun was a local tycoon; he had to fleece him when he could.

A Po Zhu Ancient Coin was worth 500 million Yuanhai coins!

"I'll give you three." Du Yun immediately signaled to the scholar Du Wen beside him.

Then Du Wen waved his hand, and three Po Zhu Ancient Coins appeared in front of Zhao Xing.

"Thank you, Prefecture Master, thank you, Mr. Du." Zhao Xing took the Po Zhu Ancient Coins.

Du Wen should be Du Yun's relative, and the relationship was closer than ordinary guest ministers, but he was not Du Yun's offspring. Because Zhao Xing saw from the panel that this person's age was older than Du Yun's.

Du Yun had many things, all held by Du Wen, just like the Po Zhu Ancient Coins given to him.

After giving him the Po Zhu Ancient Coins, Du Yun himself specifically took out an exquisite ancient box and took out a golden coin.

"Five Emperor Coins." A trace of appropriate envy appeared in Zhao Xing's eyes.

The Five Emperor Coins were passed down from ancient times; it is rumored that there were once five holy emperors who unified the Profound Spirit Star Domain.

The Five Emperors are the collective name for "Rui Emperor," "Yu Emperor," "Luo Emperor," "Zu Emperor," and "Li Emperor."

Among them, Zu Emperor refers to the Void Ancestor, and the Five Emperor Coins were created by the holy emperors at that time.

It is rumored that it was not used as currency at that time, but that the Five Emperors specifically hid the power of the ancient gods in inconspicuous coins to deceive the world in order to deal with the war.

It has some magical effects, such as resisting the possession of evil spirits or the invasion of illusions.

However, as time passed, its other effects weakened, and only one effect remained powerful:

Holding one Five Emperor Coin automatically increases luck by two tiers, and gathering five adds ten tiers!

And until the thirty-first derivation, the effect remains constant!

Five Emperor Coins were not sold at the Yuanhai Temple at all. Zhao Xing remembered that in his previous life, he only came into contact with Five Emperor Coins until the Yin-Yang Dao Domain Realm. One "Rui Emperor Coin" was auctioned starting at a trillion Red Star coins.

However, this was only a "child coin"; if it was a "mother coin" that could add three tiers, the price would be even more expensive, and the price of a set would be an astronomical figure.

Zhao Xing hadn't seen a mother coin in his previous life either; it is said that it had been lost. Du Yun held a Rui Emperor child coin, which was also the type found in the largest quantity relatively speaking.

"Zhao Xing, I'll go in first."

"You can go in now, or you can wait for me to come out."

"Prefecture Master, I'll wait a bit longer."

Du Yun nodded, then held the Five Emperor Coin and jumped into the cold pool.

Zhao Xing looked closely and saw Du Yun holding the Five Emperor Coin under the cold pool, worshipping the jellyfish-like small world, and then he was sucked in.

"Are Five Emperor Coins common in the era of the Moon Luo Ancient Kingdom? There is actually such a way of doing things." Zhao Xing couldn't help but think, but he didn't jump in immediately.

Instead, he sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and paid attention to the situation of the Giant Yang clone.

"Jing Yan, where are we? How long until we go back?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Bai Yang said it will take seven or eight years to go back; we are crossing the territory of the Wanhe Demon Kingdom." Jing Yan said.

"The route is prepared, right?" Zhao Xing asked.

"How would I know?" Jing Yan shook his head: "I'm just a useless prince ranked over 20, 00."

Zhao Xing: "..."

You are still so righteously useless!

"After I go back and break through to the third realm, my ranking can rise again!" Jing Yan said, clenching his fists: "Within the top 10, 00, I will return to the Empire."

"Old Zhao, Old Yu, you guys come back with me then; when I ascend the throne, I'll make you guys Grand Managers of the Inner Court."

"Get lost." Zhao Xing slapped him. Grand Manager of the Inner Court, how does it sound like a eunuch's position.

Jing Yan still had the heart to joke, which proved that the situation was okay.

Zhao Xing was slightly relieved, the Giant Yang clone continued to rest, and he concentrated all his mental energy on the Scholar's Imperial Mausoleum.

Zhao Xing was very steady; he waited until two years and seven months later, when the world-fixing work was basically completed, before jumping into the cold pool.

Holding the Po Zhu Ancient Coin, after worshipping the jellyfish-like small world, he felt a suction force, his eyes blurred, and he was sucked in.

Just after landing, before he could stand firm, Zhao Xing heard a faint voice: "Moon Luo shines on all directions, the Great Dao also has borders, not a guest of my clan, leave quickly and don't linger~~"

Then a powerful thrust was generated, pushing Zhao Xing, and he couldn't help but fly backward.

The next second, he actually appeared in the cold pool again.

The three ancient coins were still in his hand; Zhao Xing checked his body and found that he had not suffered any harm.

He pondered slightly and immediately checked the panel.

Then, in the map function of the panel, he saw a message.

【You entered the "Shangluo Dao Academy", coordinates Taiyin 21, Cang'er 3, Tiangou 15. Yang World 5, Li Fire 43, Yi Wood 23.】

"Shangluo Dao Academy?" Zhao Xing was stunned. "I entered this place, but was immediately expelled? What is the reason?"

Zhao Xing was very puzzled. Du Yun had been in for years without coming out; clearly, he and he were not going to the same place. Different places had different checkpoints.

But why was he thrown out as soon as he entered this checkpoint?

"Could it be..."

Zhao Xing was a bit uncertain and worshipped again.

The result was still the same; he was expelled as soon as he entered, but he was not injured.

"I understand." Zhao Xing pondered for a moment and couldn't help but be enlightened. "I encountered the classic spell of the Preaching Scholar, 'Order to Expel Guests'."
