Chapter 393

After stepping through the archway of the Shangluo Dao Academy, it felt as if he had arrived in another world.

The world outside the gate was peaceful and quiet, but the world inside the inner gate was extremely bustling.

Some people were summoning wind and rain, with thunderclouds flying across the sky, carrying boundary stars within them.

Some people were stepping on scrolls; as the scrolls opened forward, the calligraphy and paintings behind them vanished, extending infinitely ahead.

Some were stepping on ghosts in the lake to practice sword techniques, while others were starting fires underground for forging.

"Boom!" Just as everyone was watching intently, a spire-topped palace beside the archway suddenly rose from the ground, pushing aside the aura, and moved forward.

"Thump, thump, thump!" Then, a burly giant ran past, carrying a small mountain.

In the blink of an eye, the pavilions, towers, palaces, and strange peaks seemed to come alive, full of vitality.

"The historical scroll records the former prosperity of the Shangluo Academy," a starry sky historian said, watching the scrolls flashing in the sky. "After endless years, it is actually still perfectly preserved here."

"The book puppets seem real and not illusory; the methods of the scholars of the ancient Yueluo Kingdom are truly formidable," Du Qing sighed.

The others could also see some of the nuances; even if they could only glimpse a corner, it was enough to be shocking.

"Let's split up and act," Du Qing and Peng Yuan suggested. "We have passed the three barriers and entered the Dao gate; the danger coefficient shouldn't be high, so we can seek our own opportunities."

You Yitian and Fan Yu looked at each other and nodded: "Alright, let's act separately. If there is danger, we can seek help through Fairy Fan."

Fan Yu possessed a minor divine ability called 【Bridge of Souls】, which could connect all team members.

Even if they were separated, they could still communicate over long distances.

Of course, this was weaker than 【Causal Communication】. The range was not as large, and the distance was not as far.

The Bridge of Souls was generally only used for local area contact, but Causal Communication could span galaxies.

"Bridge of Souls!"

Fan Yu formed seals with both hands, and behind her, fifty-two beams of white light condensed into a bridge, subsequently connecting everyone.

Zhao Xing did not resist this spell, and soon he felt a strange connection between himself and Fan Yu, as if their minds were linked.

Then Fan Yu formed seals again.

With the second seal, she specifically established five bridges, giving them to You Yitian, Du Qing, Peng Yuan, and the two physicians respectively.

With the first seal, everyone could only connect with her.

With the second seal, the five people mentioned above now had two-way soul bridges.

That is to say, even if Fan Yu could not be distracted due to some matters, or to put it bluntly, if she died.

The others could still communicate and seek help from You Yitian, the two scholars, and the two physicians.

"Fan Yu's Bridge of Souls divine ability is still a bit weak. If it were the higher-ranked minor divine ability 'Soul Palace', it wouldn't be so troublesome."

After Fan Yu finished casting the spell, everyone split up, breaking into small teams of two or three to seek their own opportunities.

You Yitian did not act immediately, but asked Zhao Xing if he was interested in joining him.

Being with someone in the Great Divine Ability realm would certainly lead to finding better things and would be safer.

However, Zhao Xing politely declined: "I have already benefited greatly and dare not trouble Brother You further."

Seeing this, You Yitian did not force him: "If you encounter any danger, little brother, notify us immediately, and we will definitely come to rescue you."

"Many thanks."

…………

In the year 1204 of the Shixin era, the main body arrived at the Shangluo Dao Academy to seek opportunities, and the first phase of the mission on the Hurui Continent that year had also been completed.

Zhao Xing sent a clone to find Hurui to collect the reward, reported their movements to Lei Tingde under the command of the Tianji Prince, and continued to accept the second phase of the hundred-year garrison mission, remaining on the Nanluo No. 21 Star Continent group in a legitimate manner.

It was also in this year that the Juyang clone finally left the starry sky array of the Yueluo Mausoleum with the members of Starfire.

"Everyone, we have landed on the Yanshan Star Continent. I announce that Starfire's mission has been successfully completed," Bai Yang smiled. "Thank you all for your assistance on this trip."

Chen Xuan, Yue Nu, Yu Tianqing, Jing Yan, Lan Hai, Fairy Hongtao... everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially Zhao Xing; his clone was carrying a heavy treasure, and he hadn't dared to say it was safe while inside the mausoleum until now, when the stone in his heart finally truly landed.

"We finally made it," Jing Yan sighed. "It took decades to return; the core area is really not easy to reach."

"Taking such a long detour, it wasn't easy," Zhao Xing also sighed.

They came out from the north of the Yueluo Mausoleum, and the current Yanshan Star Continent belongs to the sphere of influence of the Tianyou Ancient Kingdom.

There are people here to meet them, and Starfire will return to the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom from here. The next part will be fast; they can return to the Hutou Star Continent in less than a month.

After landing safely, Bai Yang, Chen Xuan, and Yue Nu began to talk to their respective 'informants'.

This was the stage of rewarding based on merit.

Jing Yan, Yu Tianqing, and Zhao Xing were together. After landing, Bai Yang found a secret room and summoned the three of them for a talk.

"Yu Tianqing," Bai Yang said, "You will obtain the status of a citizen of the Chixing Empire, and the authorities allow you to bring five relatives with you."

"If Starfire has missions in the future and you perform more meritorious deeds, there is a great hope."

"Thank you, Captain Bai," Yu Tianqing nodded. He felt he hadn't performed well on this trip, so getting such treatment was quite good.

He had also awakened a natural great divine ability, and he was already quite satisfied with the harvest this time.

Although he couldn't settle the matter of the Pangze Dynasty all at once, at least there was something to look forward to!

"Zhao Xing, your hometown, the Dazhou Dynasty, can all move over and settle down," Bai Yang said. "The authorities have already agreed to this matter, but it will take some time to prepare the specific plan."

"Thank you, Captain," Zhao Xing revealed a smile. Next, there was only the selection of the site, the verification of the specific number of people, and some details after settling down.

Yu Tianqing's eyes showed some envy; Zhao Xing and he had made the same request, but he still had to help Starfire with a few more missions.

"Captain, what about my matter?" Jing Yan asked.

"It has been reported," Bai Yang said, "but I think it's quite unlikely. Even if you use the royal family's quota, it's still a bit unlikely."

Jing Yan's small face immediately fell.

Zhao Xing knew what Jing Yan wanted. Starfire had a 【Great Expansion Divine Weapon】 at the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom headquarters. It was a source divine weapon of the mechanism type, which could perform deductions for the Mechanism Dao.

It was essentially a 'supercomputer' version of a magic array. Jing Yan's request was to go in and take a look, to obtain a chance to use it, in order to perfect his 【Ten Thousand Laws Dao Soldiers】.

The Ten Thousand Laws Dao Soldiers possessed growth potential, and he himself was of the Dao Soldier stream, so research into magic arrays was essential.

If he could use the 【Great Expansion Divine Weapon】 for a deduction, it would undoubtedly be of huge benefit to him.

However, this thing wasn't something everyone could have a chance to use. Even if Jing Yan applied, he would still have to wait in line.

As far as this merit was concerned, it was undoubtedly very difficult to be approved.

"I think you should change your request, for example, help you break through to the third realm?" Bai Yang asked.

"A mere third realm, I could break through in the blink of an eye; why would I need Starfire to help me," Jing Yan sighed. "If the Wandering God Dao doesn't break through and the Ten Thousand Laws Dao Soldiers don't grow, my combat power won't be much different even if I enter the third realm."

"Then there's no way," Bai Yang said. "Rules are rules."

"Forget it, I'll change my request," Jing Yan said. "I want to buy a copy of the 'Heavenly Net Seven Orbits Boundary Array Map' from the Source Heavenly Palace. Counting this merit and my royal family member quota, how much money do I still need to pay at a minimum?"

Bai Yang calculated for a moment, then said: "You'll need to pay another 150 million Chixing coins, and that should be about right."

Jing Yan's face immediately turned green: "It still costs that much."

Even if you took Jing Yan apart, he wouldn't be able to come up with that much money.

"I'll lend it to you," Zhao Xing spoke up. "I still have some money."

"That's not appropriate," Jing Yan shook his head.

"What's appropriate or not, it's settled," Zhao Xing said.

"You have so much money?" Bai Yang was a bit surprised.

He had no idea that Zhao Xing had previously accumulated a fortune comparable to a Five Elements Dao Domain realm expert!

"I am the Five Tombs Marquis of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom," Zhao Xing smiled.

"So that's how it is," Bai Yang suddenly realized.

Usually, only those with Dao Domain realm strength could earn Marquis merit.

Zhao Xing had relied on grave digging to dig out a Marquis title, so of course he was rich!

It was just that this money had been spent quite a bit now; his original 2. billion Chixing coins were now nearing the bottom.

"Fine, then it's settled," Bai Yang nodded.

……

In the year 1207 of the Shixin era, three years later, Zhao Xing, Jing Yan, and Yu Tianqing returned to the Hutou Star Continent and separated from Starfire.

Zhao Xing's Juyang clone also finally returned to the Five Tombs Marquis Mansion and met the people of Dazhou.

"Che, how is Ji Si's cultivation going?" Zhao Xing's Juyang clone entered the Xuanhuang World Boat where Dazhou resided.

"Ji Si is already at the perfection of the Minor Divine Ability realm," Ji Che introduced. "Of the 500 million Chixing coins, half was spent on hiring preaching scholars, and another 100 million Chixing coins were spent on resources, including spiritual substances and secret techniques. Now he has seven minor divine abilities, four historian divine abilities, and three fate official divine abilities, and is currently cultivating the eighth one."

"Oh? The progress is very fast," Zhao Xing was a bit surprised.

He had given Ji Si 500 million Chixing coins without thinking about any cost-effectiveness; he just wanted to quickly elevate Ji Si.

But Ji Si's cultivation results surprised him greatly. He had expected Ji Si to only master two divine abilities, but now he had mastered seven and reached the perfection of the Minor Divine Ability realm.

The point was, there was still 150 million left.

With the same amount of money, Ji Si's results far exceeded those of others; it could be said that he was very promising.

"I'll go take a look."

"He is at the Heavenly Tomb Mansion in Fengjing."

"I know."

Zhao Xing's mind stirred, and he turned into light to head to the Heavenly Tomb Mansion.

The world boat where Dazhou currently resided was naturally not the piece of junk from before that could only accommodate the land of three prefectures.

The current world boat's internal layout completely replicated the nineteen prefectures of the Xuanhuang World, and even the four seas were replicated.

"Swish~"

Zhao Xing appeared beside a spiritual lake, where Ji Si was sitting on a reef by the lake, facing the lake water to cultivate.

"Greetings, Grand Minister of Agriculture."

Ji Si stood up and bowed.

"You seem a bit surprised," Zhao Xing asked.

"Yes," Ji Si said, "I didn't calculate that I would meet the Grand Minister of Agriculture today."

Zhao Xing was only in the Minor Divine Ability realm, and only in the late stage at that. Ji Si already had seven divine abilities and could see the past and future; theoretically, he should have been able to calculate a practitioner with a lower cultivation base than himself, but he couldn't see that Zhao Xing would come today.

"Hahaha, if you could calculate it, I would have died outside long ago," Zhao Xing couldn't help but laugh loudly.

Especially the Juyang clone, which was now carrying a page of the Xuanling History Book; if Ji Si could calculate it, he would probably be thoroughly finished.

"Ji Si, Dazhou is expected to migrate in a hundred years, but you must stay behind to help me," Zhao Xing said.

"I am already prepared," Ji Si nodded.

"You're not going to ask what the matter is?"

"No matter how serious it is, it's just death," Ji Si said calmly. "I have already made such preparations."

"It won't come to that," Zhao Xing waved his hand. "On the contrary, you must try every means to preserve yourself, because I will place my life and death in your hands."

Ji Si was stunned; he hadn't expected Zhao Xing to entrust him with such a heavy burden.

The life and death of the Grand Minister of Agriculture, held in his own hands?

"Keep this Qiankun ring well," Zhao Xing took out a ring. "Don't worry about it on ordinary days, and you can't open it either."

"You will know when to use it, of course... I hope you never have to use it."

"Yes," Ji Si solemnly put it away.

Zhao Xing did not let Ji Si know about the Time Page right now.

The condition for opening this Qiankun ring was the moment its main body died.

On ordinary days, he would transmit his map coordinates to Ji Si at all times.

Once he died, the ring would open, and then Ji Si would try every means to rush over and use the Time Page to backtrack to the corresponding coordinate area.

"Alright, continue your cultivation," Zhao Xing said. "You don't need to worry about Dazhou's affairs for now, and you don't need to worry about your cultivation resources."

"I will fully support you."

"Yes."

…………

After giving instructions, Zhao Xing's Juyang clone remained on the Hutou Star Continent to rest.

Shangluo Dao Academy, back mountain.

In the vast mountain range, undulating and continuous, a figure appeared accompanied by clouds and mist.

"It took three years to avoid the dangers along the way, and I finally found the place," Zhao Xing looked ahead.

Ahead was a barrier, constructed from dense spiritual energy.

It appeared light blue and was a cube. It looked like a water cube embedded in the mountains.

"There shouldn't be anyone coming here," Zhao Xing scanned the surroundings. "Whether it's book puppets or exploration teams, there are quite a few 'opportunities' blocking the way."

Zhao Xing slowly approached the water cube spiritual boundary.

When he approached within ten thousand miles, the water spiritual boundary suddenly rippled, and waves rippled from inside the cube, subsequently spreading into the void.

Transmitting outward along the void, Zhao Xing's vision became blurry.

When he could see clearly again, he discovered that he had actually returned to his original position, thirty million miles away from the water cube.

"What a powerful illusion; I actually fell for it without knowing."

Zhao Xing discovered that he had gone by riding the clouds and returned by riding the clouds.

There were two very obvious traces of cloud techniques.

"Again."

Zhao Xing stepped on the clouds and advanced again. His main body was not as fast as the Juyang clone, only about eight times the speed of light; mainly because the cloud technique was merely a void technique, while the Juyang clone exceeded sixteen times the speed of light.

The distance of thirty million miles was not far for Zhao Xing, but after Zhao Xing approached within the ten-thousand-mile range, seeing that he would enter in the next second.

He couldn't help but use the cloud technique to retreat.

Having failed twice in a row, Zhao Xing did not force it, but stood in the air thirty million miles away, thinking.

"No matter how fast my speed is, it's useless. As soon as I get close, I immediately fall for it, and then I can't help but fly backward."

"This is a soul illusion!"

"It's very simple; it just influences my thoughts, letting the thought of 'retreating' occupy my entire soul, and then I can't help but follow through."

"This move is simple and crude, with no fancy things at all, purely suppressing people with level."

Many illusions play very fancy tricks, such as creating a false world to make people sink, or digging out the people and things that the opponent fears in their heart and manifesting them.

Such things can be called the soul illusion stream.

Soul illusions act directly on the soul, just like the Qi sect among martial artists, simple and crude.

Those who fall for it are even clear-headed, knowing they have fallen for it, but they simply cannot withstand it.

The illusion stream is like the Sword sect among martial artists, emphasizing technique, and even using magic talismans, illusion paintings, and magic arrays that support the illusion to cast it; those who fall for it don't know they have entered an illusion.

"Try using a will divine ability."

Zhao Xing decided to withstand a wave. Just now, he hadn't used a will divine ability, mainly because he wasn't sure if he would encounter a stronger counterattack.

But twice in a row, he hadn't suffered any damage, so he decided to try with a will divine ability.

This time, Zhao Xing flew relatively slowly.

When the ripples of the water cube reappeared, Zhao Xing immediately used his will divine ability, Killing Thought Blade.

"The blade cuts the flesh, the heart cuts the soul, Killing Thought Blade, there is no self and no other."

Zhao Xing's eyes became cold, filled with killing intent.

The soul was like a battle blade that had tasted blood countless times, wanting to kill all enemies in the world.

The pain of the flesh and soul, and the fear of death, would all be suppressed by this monstrous killing intent, and all other thoughts would be excluded.

This divine ability is not considered an orthodox soul cultivation method, but rather a bit unorthodox.

Casting this kind of will divine ability has one small drawback: if you fight with an enemy, it will be very difficult to hold back; you will definitely go all out to kill the enemy.

"Hum~"

The water rippled, transmitting over once again.

Zhao Xing's soul immediately appeared to waver; besides the killing intent, he still had the thought of retreating.

The killing intent gained the upper hand, and the body continued to fly forward.

Flying close to the ten-thousand-mile area again.

The ripples of the water cube vibrated more violently, and the Killing Thought Blade collapsed after persisting for ten breaths.

Zhao Xing couldn't resist again and flew back to the thirty-million-mile mark.

But this time, it was not without effect.

A line of ancient Yueluo Kingdom text appeared on the water cube:

【Do not try again; this place is not your place of opportunity.】

Looking at this sentence, Zhao Xing immediately bowed to the water cube: "Senior Qianhuan, it was Senior Divine Fire Turtle who asked me to come."

He guessed that this was the Qianhuan Tree transmitting information; otherwise, it wouldn't be so colloquial.

The water cube indeed vibrated, and green shadows appeared on the walls.

【What proof do you have?】

Zhao Xing thought for a moment and said: "Senior Divine Fire Turtle said you are his friend, and you haven't seen each other for a long time."

"Senior Divine Fire Turtle wants me to help you escape and meet him."

Senior Divine Fire Turtle couldn't leave the Heavy Water River due to some rule, so Zhao Xing guessed that the Qianhuan Tree was the same.

Zhao Xing heard a hint of longing for freedom from the old turtle's words.

The tomb owner had been dead for who knows how long; who would be willing to grow old alone here forever?

The water cube had no movement for a long time, and only after a long time did it read another line: 【Your cultivation is too poor; you can't help me.】

Zhao Xing thought for a moment, then asked: "I don't know what conditions are needed to help Senior escape?"

【The Water Spiritual Boundary is one with me; I am the array eye of this place. If you want to save me, you must first destroy the Water Spiritual Boundary.】

【If the Water Spiritual Boundary is destroyed, I must move immediately; otherwise, I will die very soon, and your source space cannot accommodate me at all.】

Zhao Xing summarized it; to take away the Qianhuan Tree, two conditions must be met.

One is to destroy the Water Spiritual Boundary.

Two is that his own source space is large enough to transfer it immediately.

"The second condition is easy to satisfy, but the first is a bit difficult," Zhao Xing secretly thought.

The Yuanhai World he cultivated had three layers in total. It had no other characteristics, except that it was large.

After all, this technique was built by spending money and resources. Where were the resources piled? It was to widen the space.

Even Huangfu Yun, a Minister of Agriculture who specifically followed the path of the self, said that Zhao Xing's source space gave him a feeling of 'magnificence'.

As for the embryonic form of the Five Elements Dao inside, that is, the other characteristics, it was relatively standard.

"The difficulty lies in breaking the Water Spiritual Boundary, but escaping is not something I can do alone; let's see if the Qianhuan Tree itself can solve some problems."

Zhao Xing immediately cast his source projection, expanding it to the extreme: "Senior Qianhuan Tree, please take a look."

"My source space has a stable spiritual energy index of 215, and the Five Elements Dao is relatively balanced, but the space is not small."

"Can it accommodate you to live?"

The Qianhuan Tree quickly gave an answer: 【Yes, but it's useless. You are only in the Source realm; it's very difficult to destroy the Water Spiritual Boundary.】

"Senior, although I am weak, I have quite a family fortune and also have connections. If Senior has an escape plan, I might be able to think of a way."

Zhao Xing specifically let the Mowun Vine come out to show off its muscles. The third-realm Mowun Vine spread out, covering the sky and the sun, almost completely enveloping the water cube.

The Qianhuan Tree is not a void species. Although the Mowun Vine is of a lower quality than the Qianhuan Tree, in terms of the essence of life, the void origin of the Mowun Vine is something even the Qianhuan Tree envies.

In addition, this can also indirectly prove Zhao Xing's ability: I am indeed just a small Source realm expert, but I can afford to use the Mowun Vine!

Seeing that the Qianhuan Tree didn't answer for a long time, Zhao Xing didn't try to persuade it anymore, "It seems I have no fate to assist Senior; sorry to disturb you."

Having said that, Zhao Xing turned around and left, walking very decisively.

"Wait a moment."

This time, the Qianhuan Tree made a sound.

There was no other way; the Qianhuan Tree had been here for a very, very long time.

It was from the same era as the old turtle; in terms of age, they were not much different, and in terms of lifespan, it was also nearing its end.

When plant life gives birth to thought and will, wanting to live is an instinct.

The Qianhuan Tree did not want to wither here.

Having waited for a long time to meet such a person, the Qianhuan Tree also did not want to lose this opportunity.

However, Zhao Xing was too weak and was not a suitable candidate.

Originally, the Qianhuan Tree intended to wait for the next wave of people; since one intruder had come, more people should enter the Dao Treasury.

But... what if only Zhao Xing entered this time?

How much longer could it wait?

"Senior, please give your instructions," Zhao Xing turned back; he wasn't afraid that the Qianhuan Tree wouldn't take the bait.

A drowning person would grab even a straw, let alone that he counted as a rope.

【The magic array of the Water Spiritual Boundary comes from the 'Heaven and Earth Transforming Yuan Great Array'. A long time ago, I was planted here; it gave me sufficient nutrients and spiritual energy, but after I reached my peak period, this array turned against me.】

【It constantly extracted my origin and transported it elsewhere, making it into treasures.】

【The reason I cannot escape is that the stronger I am, the stronger the constraints of this magic array.】

Zhao Xing nodded frequently, indicating that he understood.

He hadn't heard of the Heaven and Earth Transforming Yuan magic array, but as long as the Qianhuan Tree stated its function, he understood the principle. Once he understood the principle, he knew too many similar magic arrays.

"That is to say, Senior can never escape by your own strength, because this magic array is formed by taking Senior's origin as the core to form constraints."

【Yes.】

Because the power of this magic array always follows the growth of the Qianhuan Tree's strength in real-time.

Even if the Qianhuan Tree reached the Life and Death Dao Domain realm, it still couldn't break the constraints of the Water Spiritual Boundary.

It's like a mortal can't lift themselves up by stepping on their left foot with their right foot to ascend into the sky.

There must be an external force involved.

"I don't know what realm Senior is in?"

【Life and Death Dao Domain realm】

"That is to say, there must be an external force of the Dao Domain realm involved."

【It doesn't need to reach the power of the Life and Death Dao Domain realm; when I am wrestling with the magic array, it can be broken with just the power of the Yin and Yang Dao Domain realm.】

Please... you... collect_()

"It might even be lower," Zhao Xing secretly thought.

He was very familiar with such magic arrays; some professions other than the Minister of Agriculture also liked to plant trees, but they couldn't subdue them, so they often had similar magic arrays to constrain them.

Of course, a Minister of Agriculture might not necessarily be able to subdue them; this had to consider the strength difference between the two sides.

Before Zhao Xing agreed to rescue the Qianhuan Tree, he had to be prepared.

Otherwise, if the Qianhuan Tree wanted to harm him, it could easily burst his source space.

It was also good at soul illusions; if it turned the tables, it wouldn't be the Qianhuan Tree becoming his unit, but he becoming the Qianhuan Tree's slave.

Plant life growing in the wild usually gives birth to self-consciousness when entering the mature or peak period; this is out of a need.

If it is in a relatively safe environment where survival doesn't need to be considered, self-consciousness is born later, and the consciousness born is also gentler.

"The Qianhuan Tree has been born for so long, it must be wild and untamable, and it is good at soul illusions. My soul will is far from enough to suppress and control it. To save it, I must find a way to consider my own safety."

Zhao Xing soon had an idea in his heart, and then replied: "Senior, please wait patiently; I will go find a way to save you."

……

Zhao Xing ran outside the Shangluo Dao Academy, and the moment he lifted the Divine Turtle Transformation, he was expelled and his figure reappeared in the cold pool.

The nameless star continent at this time had changed its appearance again, and the defense level was getting higher and higher, but the number of explorers had not increased much.

"Zhao Xing, you're out; did you have any harvest?" The scholar Du Wen was still in the center of the nine light gates, teaching others the food supplement method.

"Not much harvest," Zhao Xing shook his head. He only obtained a Yuanluo Pill that nourished the soul when asking about the Dao at the second barrier, which was worth only over 10 million Chixing coins, which couldn't be considered a harvest at all.

"Haha, you don't have to be sad," Du Wen laughed. "The Mansion Master has been out for two years; even if you have nothing, the Mansion Master still has 10%."

"The Mansion Master is already out?" Zhao Xing also felt happy in his heart.

The profit sharing from Du Yun's side was the big part! He was just worrying about having no money to use!

"Yes, the Mansion Master said that when you see him, let you go see him," Du Wen smiled: "Calling you to split the money."

"Many thanks for telling me, sir!"

Zhao Xing flew toward the base in a flash.

……

"Zhao Xing, you're here." Du Yun was talking to several guest ministers. Seeing Zhao Xing come over, he waved his hand, letting the guest ministers retreat first.

When the guest ministers saw Zhao Xing, their eyes carried a hint of envy.

Obviously, Du Yun had a great harvest this time.

Zhao Xing getting 10% was a huge benefit!

"Greetings, Mansion Master."

"Hahaha, don't be so polite," Du Yun laughed and waved his hand to stop Zhao Xing from bowing, "You brought me such a big harvest, why are you still so polite? Don't bow to me in the future."

"And don't call me Mansion Master; just call me by my name."

It seems Du Yun had a very good harvest; otherwise, his mood wouldn't be so good.

"Alright, calling you here this time is to split the money," Du Yun let Zhao Xing sit down.

"Guess how much this Dao Treasury is worth?"

Du Yun even started to play hard to get with Zhao Xing.

"Should be over 1 trillion Chixing coins?" Zhao Xing estimated a number.

"Hahaha, guess again! Be bolder!" Du Yun laughed.

"Ten trillion?"

"Not bad, I asked someone to estimate the price; this Dao Treasury is worth about 15 trillion!" Du Yun said.

"Actually so much?" Zhao Xing was shocked.

"In the twenty-plus years I went in, I obtained a source divine weapon," Du Yun smiled. "Thanks to you, this is the third source divine weapon I have obtained in my life!"

"So I said, the total estimated value of this Dao Treasury reached 15 trillion Chixing coins."

"No wonder..." Zhao Xing muttered to himself.

Above the Boundary Star Dao Soldiers are the Taiyin Dao Soldiers, the Taiyang Dao Soldiers, and the Source Divine Weapons.

Great Divine Ability realm/Five Elements Dao Domain realm experts usually use Taiyin Dao Soldiers as weapons, which can fully exert their power.

Taiyang Dao Soldiers correspond to the Yin and Yang Dao Domain realm.

Source Divine Weapons correspond to the Life and Death Dao Domain realm.

Further up, there are the Reincarnation Dao Soldiers. Besides their infinite power, they are also essential for active reincarnation.

If a Reincarnation realm expert doesn't have a Reincarnation Dao Soldier, active reincarnation is equivalent to suicide, and the success rate of reincarnation is very slim.

Reincarnation Dao Soldiers are rare. In the Xuanling Star Domain's 100, 00 ancient kingdoms, an ancient kingdom usually has a single-digit number of Reincarnation realm experts; weaker ones might only have the kingdom lord as a Reincarnation realm expert, and super powers will have more.

The higher the weapon, the rarer the materials.

Reaching the rank of Source Divine Weapon, many of the materials used to forge it are 'non-renewable'.

For Taiyin Dao Soldiers, low-grade ones generally cost over 100 million Chixing coins.

For Taiyang Dao Soldiers, low-grade ones generally cost over 10 billion Chixing coins.

For Source Divine Weapons, low-grade ones start at a trillion.

Previously, Du Yun asked someone, saying that it would take 5 trillion Chixing coins to get someone to speak at the Reincarnation Divine Palace, which was to use a slightly better Source Divine Weapon as a gift.

The other party wouldn't look at anything else and wasn't willing to wade into this muddy water.

Du Yun originally only had two Source Divine Weapons, but now he had obtained a third, and it wasn't the trashiest kind, so of course he was happy.

He explored the first wave and finally concluded that the entire Dao Treasury had an estimated value of 15 trillion Chixing coins; how could Du Yun not be happy?

"Zhao Xing, according to our previous agreement, you can get 10%, which is 1. trillion. Of course, this is given in stages; after all, it's just an estimate and hasn't been obtained yet."

"But I have already obtained a Source Divine Weapon, and you can get 100 billion Chixing coins right now."

"Tell me, do you want money or treasures?" Du Yun asked.

Zhao Xing understood; if he wanted money, Du Yun would give money, but Zhao Xing had no channels to buy many good things.

So Du Yun also thoughtfully acted as a 'purchasing agent'; Zhao Xing had no channels, but he had plenty.

Du Yun's share was very timely; he was just worrying about how to subdue the Qianhuan Tree.

"Mansion Master, I want treasures," Zhao Xing bowed and said: "Please Mansion Master, purchase them on my behalf."

"Tell me," Du Yun was very confident.

Below the Source Divine Weapon level, they can be bought with common currency. At the level of Source Divine Weapons and Reincarnation Dao Soldiers, it's bartering, such as Five Emperor Coins or Xuanling Ancient Coins. And it takes a long time to complete a transaction. Because the things the seller wants are definitely not easy to gather.

"I want a Magic Power Talisman," Zhao Xing put forward the first request.

"Magic Power Talisman?" Du Yun nodded: "No problem, what level and type do you want?"

A Magic Power Talisman is a very simple type of talisman.

When a magic practitioner reaches the Dao Domain realm, spiritual power and magic combine to transform into 'magic power'.

In the Five Elements Dao Domain realm, magic power attributes are also divided into multiple source attributes, and magic power carries its own power. Stored in a talisman, it can unleash attacks at the Dao Domain realm level. It belongs to a very simple and unadorned type of talisman.

"Fire element, Yin and Yang Dao Domain realm level," Zhao Xing said.

Fire element overcomes wood element. The Qianhuan Tree said the Five Elements Dao Domain realm would suffice, but Master Zhao wouldn't listen to everything the Qianhuan Tree said.

Being fully prepared and having insurance is best. Of course, a Life and Death Dao Domain realm Magic Power Talisman was unnecessary, unless he wanted to kill the Qianhuan Tree and sell it as material.

"This is not difficult; 1 billion Chixing coins is the limit," Du Yun said casually.

Magic Power Talismans, those of the Yin and Yang Dao Domain realm, can be repeatedly manufactured and regenerated endlessly; of course, they won't be too expensive. After all, they are one-time consumables; if they are sold too expensively, no one can afford to use them.

The Purple God Talisman Du Yun gave Zhao Xing was a type of Magic Power Talisman; the Purple God Talisman was slightly more powerful and sold for more than a few hundred million.

"Anything else?"

"I also want a set of 'Water Origin Life Law Contract', preferably produced by a master from the Source Heavenly Palace," Zhao Xing said.

A Law Contract is a contract-type treasure.

For ordinary constraints, cause and effect, life soul, making a vow is enough.

But a Law Contract is a contract with a carrier.

The Water Origin Life Law Contract is a physical contract prop specifically aimed at the 'water-born species' among plant life.

It is equivalent to putting a collar on the Qianhuan Tree to control its life and death.

"Water Origin Life Law Contract? What is that? It sounds like a contract prop," Du Yun thought in his heart.

Different professions are like mountains apart; he didn't know much about what Zhao Xing said.

But it didn't matter if he didn't know; as long as this thing existed.

Zhao Xing said 'preferably crafted by a master from the Source Heavenly Palace', so it must exist.

"Alright, this is also no problem," Du Yun nodded. "If you have no other requests, should I convert the rest into money for you?"

Zhao Xing thought for a moment and said: "I have one more presumptuous request."

"Tell me."

"Brother Du, just transfer 5 billion Chixing coins to me; I want to deposit the rest with Brother Du for now."

Du Yun was stunned when he heard this: "What are you doing? Are you afraid that I will kill you and not acknowledge the debt?"

"No, how could I look down on Brother Du like that? This is the literal meaning," Zhao Xing said hurriedly.

"If I take so much money at once, I'm afraid of being targeted. Depositing it with Brother Du is safer than keeping it with me."

He, a small Five Tombs Marquis, suddenly possessed a trillion Chixing coins.

Minor Divine Ability realm, yet possessing so much money?

People who have just become Life and Death Dao Domain realm experts might not necessarily have a trillion in liquid funds. Without a big background, he is simply a piece of fat meat!

Previously, the curse master Wei Jiu easily broke through the defense system of the Hutou Star Continent, and the Heyin Marquis checked his whereabouts casually... Zhao Xing completely didn't trust the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom to protect himself, this Five Tombs Marquis. It couldn't even protect itself!

Du Yun's protection? That couldn't add this trouble for nothing.

"If I keep the money on me, a bunch of people will dare to rob me; if Brother Du keeps it on my behalf, no one will dare to rob it," Zhao Xing said.

Everyone knows that Du Yun has two major Source Divine Weapons, the Muyun Sword and the Xiyang Armor, but no one has come to rob Du Yun for so many years.

"Also, it was I who didn't consider it thoroughly," Du Yun nodded.

Giving treasures, purchasing agents, etc., are fine, relatively secretive. Transfers are hard to say.

Zhao Xing keeping 5 billion Chixing coins in his account is not particularly eye-catching; after all, there are many examples of getting rich overnight in the Huan Shen Star System, and if there were more, it would be eye-catching.

"Fine, then let's do as you say," Du Yun readily agreed.

Zhao Xing is his lucky star now, so naturally there is nothing he wouldn't agree to.

…………

In the year 1214 of the Shixin era, Zhao Xing obtained two treasures, the 'Water Origin Life Law Contract' and the 'Fire Element Magic Power Talisman (Yin and Yang level)', plus 5 billion Chixing coins.

Du Yun's efficiency was fast, and Zhao Xing didn't delay, immediately entering the Dao Treasury again.

Passing through barriers and cutting down generals, he soon arrived in front of the Water Spiritual Boundary again.

"Senior Qianhuan, I'm back."

"I have prepared everything and begged for a Magic Power Talisman."

Zhao Xing shouted.

Inside the Water Spiritual Boundary, a towering tree stood, and there was a vertical eye on its trunk.

The leaves were also covered with golden patterns, like eyes.

The eye on the trunk had always been closed, but now it suddenly opened, revealing a human-shaped phantom.

"Finally here," there was a hint of suppressed madness in the Qianhuan Tree's eyes.

"What is your name?"

"Senior, my name is Zhao Xing."

"Alright, Zhao Xing, after going out, I will repay you well."

"I don't dare to ask for repayment; as long as Senior can promise to save me once in the future, that will suffice."

"Alright."

……

The Water Spiritual Boundary began to vibrate, and this vibration was clearly different from the past.

On the exterior of the entire water cube, eyes interlaced with gold and blue colors appeared.

"Pop, pop, pop~~"

After the eyes appeared, they shattered like bubbles.

At the same time, the volume of the water cube was expanding rapidly.

Zhao Xing had long since run far away to wait.

The Qianhuan Tree spent ten years, until the year 1224 of the Shixin era, before it was ready.

Zhao Xing also felt that the water cube seemed to have expanded to a critical value, and even sharp branches had stretched out.

But it just couldn't break.

"Sure enough, if there is no external force involved, the Qianhuan Tree can never break the cage by itself."

Zhao Xing's eyes looking at the expanding water cube became colder and colder.

He didn't believe that after the Qianhuan Tree came out, it would really repay him as it said; it didn't even make a vow to pretend.

"The Water Spiritual Boundary and I have both reached the limit," the Qianhuan Tree spoke. "You can make your move."

"Senior, please wait a moment," Zhao Xing took out the Magic Power Talisman, "My strength is weak, and it will take some time to release its power."

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" The Qianhuan Tree was a bit angry, but fortunately, it hadn't truly reached the limit, so it said it in advance.

Ten years passed, and the talisman in Zhao Xing's hand was still drawn but not fired.

"Are you ready yet?" The Qianhuan Tree was a bit restless.

Zhao Xing was staring straight at the Qianhuan Tree's shadow, observing with his panel.

"Senior, hold on a bit longer, it will be ready soon!"

Another ten years passed.

The Qianhuan Tree had completely reached the limit.

But Zhao Xing still hadn't fired this talisman.

"Are you actually capable or not? I can't hold on anymore!"

"Senior, soon, soon!"

Zhao Xing pretended to be covered in sweat.

The Qianhuan Tree was a bit manic.

Is this human really capable of saving it?

However, it had already consumed so much origin, and it wasn't willing to give up like this.

Ten years after ten years, Zhao Xing waited until the year 1315 of the Shixin era; at this time, the Qianhuan Tree had been enduring at the limit for a hundred years!

Just when the Qianhuan Tree was about to be unable to hold on.

"It's now!"

Zhao Xing threw the Fire Element Magic Talisman out.

"Boom!!"

The Yin and Yang level fire talisman immediately blasted the water cube.

The Water Spiritual Boundary exploded into fragments and disappeared.

A towering tree that had been bent was immediately straightened.

"Sift, sift, sift~"

Countless leaves shook, and it stretched its body wantonly. It was as if countless eyes were laughing.

The surrounding rubble splashed, and Zhao Xing was also blown away by the terrifying fluctuations.

The Qianhuan Tree kept growing, as if it wanted to break through the ground.

"Sift, sift, sift, sift, sift, sift~"

The Qianhuan Tree seemed to be laughing loudly.

Zhao Xing's eyes became colder and colder.

The Qianhuan Tree didn't mention transferring to his source space at all.

It moved its body itself, the whole earth was shaking, and it could completely break through the air and leave by itself!

"Senior, your second condition was indeed a lie," Zhao Xing laughed.

"Sift, sift~ it was indeed a lie," a figure walked out from the Qianhuan Tree's eyes; he was wearing scholar's clothes, seemingly transformed into the appearance of the tomb owner.

"How does Senior plan to treat me?" Zhao Xing asked playfully.

The Qianhuan Tree smiled slightly: "In the first era after I was locked up, I decided to do my best to repay the person who saved me."

"After one hundred eras, I decided to lock the person who saved me into the Water Spiritual Boundary."

"Now, I have decided to kill the person who saved me."

"Are you satisfied with this repayment method?"

Zhao Xing said with a look of horror: "Senior, you, how can you be like this."

"Could it be that you don't even give face to Senior Divine Fire Turtle? Or is Senior Divine Fire Turtle also lying to me?"

The Qianhuan Tree shook its head and said: "No, the old turtle didn't lie to you; he and I are indeed friends, and I believe he was also out of good intentions."

"To repay him, I will also kill him and absorb his turtle origin."

The Qianhuan Tree's phantom walked over step by step: "I want to reincarnate and get rid of the cage; the old turtle becoming my Dao nutrient is his good fortune."

"So that's how it is," Zhao Xing nodded.

"Do you have anything else to say?" The Qianhuan Tree asked.

"No more," Zhao Xing shook his head. "I have seen quite a few units with such a bad character as you; I'm used to it."

Hearing this, the Qianhuan Tree frowned.

Then its face changed.

"Snap~" Zhao Xing snapped his fingers.

The Qianhuan Tree's human phantom immediately flew backward and merged into the eye on the trunk.

"You, what did you do to me?!"

The Qianhuan Tree roared.

"I'm showing my cards, I'm not pretending anymore," Zhao Xing laughed: "Inside the magic power talisman flying toward the Water Spiritual Boundary, it contained a copy of the Water Origin Life Law Contract."

"Oh, you old guy from the old era might not understand."

"It is a life contract."

Strange patterns appeared on Zhao Xing's palm, gradually forming the appearance of the Qianhuan Tree.

Finally, in Zhao Xing's palm, a golden vertical eye appeared.

"Look, does it look like your life structure?"

"You bastard!!"

The Qianhuan Tree roared madly.

"Shut up!"

Zhao Xing clenched his fist and shouted.

The Qianhuan Tree indeed shut up; although it was still shaking, the amplitude immediately became smaller.

"Shrink!"

Hum~

The Qianhuan Tree immediately shrank its body size, and finally it was only one hundred thousand miles high.

"Fly in yourself."

Zhao Xing unfolded his source projection.

The Qianhuan Tree was completely unable to resist and obediently moved into the source soil.

"Humph, fighting with me?"

Zhao Xing put away his source projection with difficulty.

"The number of units I have subdued is more than the leaves on your body!"
