Chapter 399: Two Hundred Years of Absurdity, Emperors Gather in the Time Chamber

~33 min read 6,580 words

Zhao Xing naturally knew that in the history of the Reincarnation Temple, more than one Derivation God Stele had been lost.

If Qing Yuzi had managed to steal one, he wouldn't find it strange.

Because when they were players in their past lives, they had done the same.

As for why the Derivation God Steles were frequently stolen?

This had to start with the Reincarnation Temple's tenet.

The Reincarnation Temple's tenet was: Maintain universal balance.

This tenet further derived another: Prohibit powerhouses from using their abilities to wantonly resurrect others.

The active reincarnation of Reincarnation Realm cultivators did not fall under this category. Because active reincarnation meant shedding one's cultivation, which instead returned spiritual energy origin to the world. This was equivalent to participating in the normal cycle of life and death.

Under certain circumstances, the ban on resurrecting others could be relaxed; the Reincarnation Temple's focus was on "wanton resurrection."

However, revolving around the tenet of "maintaining universal balance," the interior of the Reincarnation Temple gradually developed divisions, giving birth to three ideologies.

First, Primitivism.

The Reincarnation Temple should not intervene in the disputes of ancient kingdoms, nor interfere in the affairs of cultivator factions, maintaining purity.

Primitivists, the mainstream ideology of the current Reincarnation Temple, did not stifle the cultivation of the Reincarnation Realm.

Second, Active Salvationism.

Salvationists believed that the increasing desolation of the star domain was destroying universal balance and that they should actively enter the world, integrating all power to "maintain universal balance." This involved one point: the Reincarnation Temple should expand its existing armed forces.

Third: Extreme Equilibriumism.

Any form of "resurrection" should not exist, including the active reincarnation of Reincarnation Realm cultivators; resurrection must be completely prohibited. Only then could the decay of the universe be saved.

Regarding the need for military force, Extreme Equilibriumism and Active Salvationism were in agreement.

Because to carry out their ideologies, military suppression was necessary.

If they abandoned their neutral stance and lost their purity, other super-factions would inevitably not sit idly by. Who would want a master looming over their heads?

Therefore, the Reincarnation Temple was still dominated by "Primitivism" to this day.

But what could not be ignored was that the other two voices had always existed, and this was the reason why the Reincarnation Temple's Derivation God Steles were frequently stolen.

Strong defenses were always breached from within.

In the future "Temple War" version, the Reincarnation Temple would suffer a major split, and the Derivation God Steles would appear in large numbers.

But in fact, before this, the Derivation God Steles had been stolen many times.

The reason why Zhao Xing's Three-God Life Palace required such a high price to resolve lay right here.

Some Derivation God Steles were recovered, while others remained lost to this day.

"If Qing Yuzi stole one in a past life and, through a unique reincarnation secret technique, refined it into his natal Reincarnation Dao Weapon, then he wouldn't need to prepare a mountain of materials."

"With the Derivation God Stele and having cultivated the Three-God Life Palace, the preparations for the Reincarnation Altar could be greatly simplified."

Zhao Xing looked at Qing Yuzi, who was reaching into the void with one hand, and suddenly understood.

No wonder he dared to hitch a ride; no wonder he dared to shear the wool off the Dongyan Ancient Clan.

Assuming he had cleaned up his tracks when he stole it and wasn't found out, he could completely turn the crime into a merit after the fact! I came to return the Derivation God Stele!

"Wait, does Old Qing himself have a background in the Reincarnation Temple?"

"Assuming everything goes according to Old Qing's plan, then after he resurrects, he will have destroyed the Dongyan Ancient Clan's resurrection, recovered the Derivation God Stele, and incidentally, his own strength will have advanced further."

"He might even gain more influence within the Reincarnation Temple..."

Zhao Xing looked at Qing Yuzi with suspicion and asked cautiously:

"Old... Senior, is your origin in the Reinc..."

Qing Yuzi did not respond and began to play dead.

"It was my slip of the tongue."

But playing dead was also a form of tacit admission.

By this point, Zhao Xing finally understood who gave Qing Yuzi the courage.

As for what other twists and turns lay within? Zhao Xing didn't want to know anymore; he knew better than to ask.

Knowing too much now was no benefit to him.

Qing Yuzi avoided the question, and the text in his eyes continued to flash: 【The causal contract with the Dongyan Ancient Clan is on me; the restriction is on me, not you.】

"You mean I can report it now without being discovered?" Zhao Xing was stunned.

【Theoretically, yes. The Dongyan Ancient Clan can bypass the 'causal contract' to kill you, so you are no longer bound by the original constraints either.】

【But do not overdo it; leaking heavenly secrets will still bring backlash.】

The words were convoluted, but Zhao Xing understood.

Because he had actually died once; who killed him? Undoubtedly, it was still the Dongyan Ancient Clan.

In reality, this was a disguised breach of contract.

And the causal contract had been shared by Qing Yuzi, just like when the great scholar Zhuo En transferred the Illusion Curse to Du Yun to bear.

In reality, Zhao Xing had also been in a state of disguised breach of contract all along.

Everyone was using a "causal contract" to paste over a layer of window paper to paralyze the other side, while privately doing who knows how many things.

Of course, after the contract, Zhao Xing hadn't actually done anything, except for this time calling for help.

On the contrary, the Dongyan Ancient Clan had been messing with him the whole time; he had originally planned to leave once he had enough money.

"You are all big shots, but what does this have to do with me? I just delivered something." Zhao Xing looked miserable.

If he was playing a game of Qing Yu Cards, he was now the weakest party.

He didn't know how many chess players there were, and any card the other side pulled out was bigger than his.

Qing Yuzi: 【You don't need to sell your misery. Since I told you, I believe you have the strength to walk the same path as me.】

After a pause, the flame text changed: 【I owe you a favor; there will be a generous reward after this. If I break this promise, may I fall into eternal reincarnation.】

Seeing this sentence, the miserable look on Zhao Xing's face vanished instantly, replaced by a smile: "Easy to say, easy to say."

Selling misery naturally had its purpose!

Setting aside the Dongyan Ancient Clan... for me to end up in this state today, could you, Qing Yuzi, say you had no fault?

That was exactly what Zhao Xing had been expressing.

And Qing Yuzi hadn't even drawn a single pie for him before!

Now, he had finally extracted a solid promise.

"What do you need me to do now?" Zhao Xing asked.

【Every major faction in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom has an exclusive channel to the Imperial Capital star system, facilitating emergency summons by the Kingdom Lord.】

"An exclusive channel for royal summons?" Zhao Xing understood immediately.

【It can be said so. When the heavenly secrets manifest, the channel to the Imperial Capital will inevitably be closed.】

"Then how am I supposed to send you in?" Zhao Xing was puzzled.

【Find the location of the altar and wait in that general area; then you can send me in.】

Zhao Xing's brain spun rapidly, trying to understand Qing Yuzi's train of thought.

In other words, Old Qing couldn't go to the Imperial Capital star system right now and had to wait for the right moment.

So he sent him ahead to act as an anchor?

"You didn't put all your hopes on me, did you?" Zhao Xing asked. Who was the person originally chosen for this role?

Qing Yuzi played dead again.

"Fine, I won't ask." Zhao Xing shrugged.

【The moment the contract dissipates, you can find 'Emperor Yuanding' in the Imperial Capital.】

Zhao Xing silently recalled the list for the Dharma Assembly.

Emperor Yuanding was a Reincarnation Envoy! He was here not only to attend the Dharma Assembly but also as the person chosen by the Reincarnation Temple to investigate the "Derivation God Stele."

In other words, if he hadn't had those five trillion, this Emperor Yuanding would have been the one leading the team to abolish his Three-God Life Palace supernatural ability.

Of course, he wasn't coming just for him; many others had cultivated it and were on the list for abolition.

"On the surface, True Person Yuanding is here to do the dirty work; in reality... he is still doing the dirty work."

"Old Qing is indeed a man of the Temple." Zhao Xing thought to himself. "Only if he succeeds is he a man of the Temple. If he fails, he is a thief."

After a pause, Zhao Xing asked: "How should I speak when I see Emperor Yuanding?"

There had to be some code or token, right?

【Say that sentence you always say.】

"The one I always say? Which one... oh..." Zhao Xing was stunned at first, then felt a bit awkward.

My master is Qing Yuzi!

He never expected that a sentence he used to shift blame would actually be useful now.

Seeing that Qing Yuzi had no further instructions, Zhao Xing planned to leave.

Just as he was about to step into the void channel, Zhao Xing stopped and tilted his head: "Senior, is Du Yun involved in this?"

【No.】

So the Origin Heavenly Palace was not involved.

Zhao Xing nodded slightly: "This junior will definitely do everything in his power to assist Senior."

Stepping into the channel, Zhao Xing returned to the boundary boat.

Entering the Imperial Capital star system was simple enough, but entering the Dharma Assembly venue was quite difficult.

Zhao Xing had three choices to get there: Du Yun, Yun Tiandao, and Lu Yuehan.

Zhao Xing didn't choose; he used all of them.

He notified Du Yun, Yun Tiandao, and Lu Yuehan, ensuring that all three would be by his side when he reached the Imperial Capital.

"If I die, that goes without saying."

"If I live, everyone around me lives."

Zhao Xing thought for a moment, took out his Star Mirror, sent a few messages, and then started the boundary boat.

In the year 1785 of the Shixin Era, two more people were on the boundary boat heading to the Imperial Capital star system.

Cen Qionghua and Le Yao.

"Brother Zhao!" Seeing Zhao Xing, Huazi rushed over joyfully.

"Stop, stop." Zhao Xing pushed him away, "What are you doing? Trying to eat me?"

"Hahaha." Huazi could only pat Zhao Xing on the shoulder to express his excitement.

"You..."

Before he could finish, Cen Qionghua was shoved aside and hung on the wall.

Then a fragrant breeze rushed over, and Le Yao hugged Zhao Xing.

Cen Qionghua rubbed the back of his head, looking at Le Yao who had thrown herself into Zhao Xing's arms, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Forget righteousness for beauty, you shameless person!"

"How can you compare to Le Yao." Zhao Xing smiled, pushing Le Yao away; in reality, the two of them just touched and separated.

He was very sure that Le Yao's feelings for him were just friendship, so he could accept this expression of excitement.

"You still say that; if it weren't for you, you scoundrel, how would we have been detained?" Le Yao threw a series of punches at Huazi.

Cen Qionghua smiled helplessly, letting Le Yao beat him.

"Alright, don't blame Huazi anymore." Zhao Xing said.

Le Yao and Cen Qionghua's detention was purely because Huazi had a loose tongue and offended a noble's son while bidding for a furnace.

He had stubbornly raised the price to an unreasonable range.

In the end, that noble's son won, and the grudge was formed.

Le Yao and Cen Qionghua both had families; as long as they did business, there were always some dirty parts.

That noble's family had some influence and used a random excuse to detain them, then looked for evidence.

It was like shooting an arrow and then drawing the target, and they were only released today.

"Brother Zhao, how did you manage to get that scoundrel 'Xing Hao' to release us?" Le Yao asked, tired from beating him.

"Yeah." Huazi also leaned in to ask. "Did you find Du Yun?"

"Would such a small matter require finding Du Yun?" Zhao Xing said lightly, "I am a Marquis of Wuling; one word from me, and the other side has to release people!"

"Are you bragging?" Le Yao looked suspicious. Cen Qionghua also shook his head.

"Hahaha, you couldn't fool me." Zhao Xing laughed, "In reality, I acquired some of the Xing family's debts."

"Although I, this Marquis of Wuling, have no real power, I have money!"

After Du Yun finished the errand for Zhao Xing, there was still a bit left, which was not a small amount, about nearly 20 billion Red Star Coins; plus what Yun Tiandao left behind, he still had over 25 billion Red Star Coins.

Le Yao and Cen Qionghua's matter was just a small thing; money solved it easily.

"Marquis of Wuling is awesome!" Cen Qionghua said.

"Zhao Xing, thank you." Le Yao also said.

"Small matter." Zhao Xing said: "What are your plans now?"

"No plans for now."

"I have a suggestion." Zhao Xing said, "Remember Yu Guo asking you to take your family to visit his hometown?"

"But didn't he go to the Red Star Empire?" Le Yao asked.

"Anyway, there's nothing to do; just go visit for a while; he'll be back soon."

"It's not impossible." Le Yao said.

"I originally wanted to go to the Dharma Assembly to join the fun..." Cen Qionghua hesitated.

"You want to join the fun?" Le Yao's eyes widened, "There are even more big shots there; offend one, and you're dead."

Cen Qionghua was speechless.

In the end, Le Yao and Cen Qionghua were persuaded and decided to go see the Pangze Dynasty.

In the year 1803 of the Shixin Era, Zhao Xing received news that the two had left the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom and arrived at the Pangze Dynasty.

"Sure enough, Cen Qionghua and Le Yao are just 'supporting characters'; them leaving the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom is no problem." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

The Dongyan Ancient Clan wanted to offer sacrifices, but they didn't need just anyone.

With the Dharma Assembly being held in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, people coming and going was normal.

If they calculated everything so strictly, it would easily cause problems.

As for Du Yun, Yun Tiandao, and Lu Yuehan, he couldn't send them away.

After taking a detour to resolve Cen Qionghua and Le Yao's matter, Zhao Xing didn't arrive at the Yuanhai star system until the year 1845 of the Shixin Era.

At this time, the spiritual energy index in the cosmic void had reached a staggering 300, and people were flying everywhere.

"With the Dharma Assembly being held, the concentration of powerhouses is too high." Ji Si couldn't help but marvel. "Anyone you see is at the Third Realm."

"The Yuanhai Boundary Star has even more." Zhao Xing said. "During the Dharma Assembly, the spiritual energy index of the venue will be maintained at 1000; listening to the lectures is a great benefit."

"Cultivators without status, let alone the Yuanhai Boundary Star, can't even enter the surrounding companion stars."

Ji Si nodded: "Are we going to find Yun Tiandao now, or the Lu family miss?"

"No need, we will meet him at the Yuanhai Boundary Star; let's find Lu Yuehan, it's convenient."

Zhao Xing was absent-mindedly contacting Lu Yuehan.

"Grand Secretary, you don't seem to be in high spirits?" Ji Si asked.

"Is it that obvious?" Zhao Xing looked up.

Ji Si nodded.

"Indeed a bit, but it's not because of Lu Yuehan." Zhao Xing rubbed his face.

After entering the Yuanhai Boundary Star, he suddenly felt an intense sense of fatigue.

Not physical, but spiritual.

It was very strange, and his Will supernatural ability was of no use.

He just became extremely lazy, didn't want to cultivate at all, and only wanted to enjoy comfort.

Zhao Xing estimated that he had been hit by some obscure, large-scale spell, but he couldn't find the problem.

"Ji Si, you must constantly spur me on and supervise me." Zhao Xing rubbed his face, trying to make himself more energetic. "Don't let me become lazy."

Ji Si asked: "How should I supervise you?"

Zhao Xing waved his hand: "Forget it... hiss, what are you doing?!"

He turned his head in surprise, only to see Ji Si holding a dharma whip, which was black and white, as if composed of white paper and black ink.

"I created a dharma spell called 【Whip of Strengthening Knowledge】, which can invigorate the spirit; while receiving the whip, it is accompanied by knowledge transmission..."

"You are truly 'spurring' me!" Zhao Xing smiled bitterly.

"History Rhyme Spiritual Rhinoceros, Ancient and Modern, Remembering Thousands of Volumes, Traces of Ten Thousand Years..." Zhao Xing recited this dharma formula that appeared in his mind, and couldn't help but ask: "What is this?"

"This formula allows a Historian to quickly memorize historical data or events when they come into contact with them, and to remember them for a long time, ensuring the accuracy and completeness of historical records, making them knowledgeable about the past and present, and able to handle all kinds of historical knowledge with ease." Ji Si explained.

"My original intention was to pursue the spiritual light of enlightenment in the dark, so that this method could eventually be maintained in a peak state of enlightenment at all times, but the effect was not satisfactory." Ji Si said with some regret.

"Alright, let's stop here for today... slap!" Zhao Xing jumped up. "What are you doing again?"

Ji Si didn't speak, just whipped him again.

"Heaven's Mandate is Clear. Order and Reversal follow the Heart, All Fates Return to Normal... Damn, Ji Si, you are being presumptuous!"

Ji Si was now a man proficient in Historian and Fate Official arts, knowing ten minor supernatural abilities. If he wanted to hit Zhao Xing, Zhao Xing really couldn't dodge it.

"Sorry, Grand Secretary." Ji Si hit him three times, and seeing Zhao Xing become energetic, he bowed.

"I observe that the Grand Secretary's spirit is a bit tense, but the three whips of awakening can probably only last for a month. I will continue to strike in the future." Ji Si said in advance.

"Sigh..." Zhao Xing was also convinced; he shouldn't have made such a suggestion.

However, he also realized the horror of the Dongyan Ancient Clan; if one were in the midst of it, only a clear-headed peer using such a method could prevent one from becoming lazy, then who could escape?

Zhao Xing wasn't sure if this laziness was normal, and he suspected it was useless, purely his own "persecutory delusion."

"Forget it, just hit me in the future." Zhao Xing sighed.

Whether it was useful or not... he would just treat it as his own "over-defensive reaction."

Suffering the "poisonous beating" of knowledge was better than losing his life.

"Yes." Ji Si put away the whip.

... hao Xing waited on the outskirts of the star system for about half a month, and Lu Yuehan sent the Fate Official Wang Yun and the Mechanist Zeng Zhuo to pick him up.

In the spring of 1856 of the Shixin Era.

Even with a special guide, Zhao Xing still went through many procedures and inspections before entering the Imperial Capital of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom.

At this time, there was less than a hundred years left before the Dharma Assembly.

In the year 1901 of the Shixin Era, Yuanhai Boundary Star, in a courtyard of the Lu Mansion.

"What are you doing? You can't go in."

"The Miss is entertaining guests, who is trespassing?"

"Stop him!"

"Bang!"

Ji Si rushed in with a murderous look, while Zhao Xing was lying on a chair, appreciating the singing and dancing with a dazed look in his eyes.

Seeing Ji Si rush in with a whip, Lu Yuehan, Hong Qi, Zeng Zhuo, and Wang Yun were all stunned.

"Mr. Ji, what are you doing?" Wang Yun frowned.

"I came to discuss important matters with the Young Master." Ji Si bowed, "If I have offended the Miss, please forgive my rudeness."

Lu Yuehan felt a bit unhappy; this person was always forcing Zhao Xing to make progress, and sometimes even attacked Zhao Xing, which was really rude.

However, she could only pretend to be generous: "No matter, since there are important matters, we will take our leave first."

Lu Yuehan took her guests away, because this was Zhao Xing's courtyard, and her own residence was not here.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Zhao Xing held a wine pot, his eyes dazed: "Why are you leaving?"

"Zhao Xing!" Ji Si rushed over and whipped him on the head.

Zhao Xing felt the pain and was extremely angry, but he recited a dharma formula: "Heaven's Mandate is Clear. Order and Reversal follow the Heart, All Fates Return to Normal... Damn, Ji Si, you are being presumptuous!"

Ji Si didn't say a word, and seeing the dharma whip being pulled, he immediately changed to another one and continued to whip.

"You are truly rebelling!" Zhao Xing barely dodged a whip and shouted loudly.

"Zhao Xing, wake up!" Ji Si approached step by step, "Don't forget we are not here to enjoy ourselves!"

"What I do is none of your business?!" Zhao Xing threw the wine pot at Ji Si, "There are tens of thousands of powerhouses here now; it is the safest place in the world!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

The whip almost became a blur, instantly whipping Zhao Xing until he wailed.

After whipping for a full half-hour, Zhao Xing went from cursing at the beginning to gradually falling into thought, and finally, he didn't say a word and stopped dodging.

Half an hour later, Zhao Xing suddenly raised his head, as if waking from a dream: "Mr. Ji, that's enough."

Hearing this, Ji Si knelt on one knee and apologized: "Grand Secretary, I had no other choice. For these decades, you have become increasingly lazy, often using socializing as an excuse to hang out with the Lu family, but in reality, you were just playing around..."

Zhao Xing didn't stop Ji Si from speaking, and along with Ji Si's words, he also recalled every bit of his time since entering the Yuanhai Boundary Star.

"It really is absurd..." Zhao Xing sighed, "Compared to before, I really seem like a different person."

"This kind of subtle change is really impossible to detect at all."

Ji Si stopped speaking: "Please cheer up, Grand Secretary; there is less than fifty years left before the Dharma Assembly begins."

"What, less than fifty years?" Zhao Xing was shocked; immersed in that absurd state of entertainment, he couldn't feel the passage of time at all.

He came to the Yuanhai star system in 1845 of the Shixin Era, and now it was 2055.

"I reached the causal oath with the Dongyan Ancient Clan in 1060 of the Shixin Era; it was a thousand-year agreement, and the Dharma Assembly was held 1045 years later."

"Now it is 2055 of the Shixin Era; there are only five years left until the contract period, and 50 years until the Dharma Assembly."

"I came in 1845, a full two hundred years, and I haven't done anything?" Zhao Xing muttered to himself.

"It's not that you haven't done anything; you have drunk with Du Yun and Zhan Ze four times, and had 16 drinking sessions with Yun Tiandao. You have had 4521 sessions of drinking, watching singing and dancing, and playing cards with Lu Yuehan and her many guests." Ji Si added a cut.

Zhao Xing: "..."

Stop talking!

"Stop talking, arrange for me to meet Du Yun, Yun Tiandao, and Lu Yuehan immediately!" Zhao Xing said.

"Where to?" Ji Si asked.

"Mountain Sea Pavilion, under the guise of watching the Dharma Assembly."

"Yes."

Ji Si left quickly.

Zhao Xing looked at the mess in the hall and broke into a cold sweat.

If he hadn't instructed Ji Si, he would probably have continued to be absurd in his confusion.

Once the Dharma Assembly started, everything would be over.

"It's really too perverted; what kind of demon spell is this..." Zhao Xing hurried out of the mansion.

To enter the Mountain Sea Pavilion, one had to reach the Reincarnation Realm.

However, Yun Tiandao, Lu Yuehan, and Du Yun all had Reincarnation Realm cultivators behind them, so it wasn't difficult for Zhao Xing to get a small room through these three.

After all, Reincarnation Realm cultivators also had family members and relatives; it was impossible to only allow the Reincarnation Realm cultivator themselves to enter.

Zhao Xing quickly arrived at the Mountain Sea Pavilion, which was a tower-like building, with hundreds of millions of entrances on each floor.

Inside, there were door frames on the circular tower walls, of varying sizes.

The higher up, the larger the door frames, the larger the space behind the doors, the higher the spiritual energy index, and the more complete the facilities.

The lower down, the smaller the doors; the golden and brilliant door frames at the top became plain wooden doors at the bottom hundredth floor.

In the center of the tower, there was a giant light door reaching the sky, which could facilitate the Reincarnation Realm cultivators of the Mountain Sea Pavilion to enter the Dharma Assembly Discussion Platform facing east; many Reincarnation Realm cultivators here were going in to discuss the Dao.

"Zhao Xing." Yun Tiandao stood at the light door on the fifteenth floor and waved at Zhao Xing.

"Coming."

At this time, Du Yun, Yun Tiandao, and Zhan Ze were standing together.

"I have a good Listening Platform there; why do you want to get one on this fifteenth floor?" Du Yun asked with some confusion.

As for Yun Tiandao, he didn't speak, just listened quietly.

"Let's go in and talk."

Zhao Xing reached out and took out a token, then led the three to a wooden door on the fifteenth floor.

"Time Chamber? Brother Zhao's naming is quite unique." Zhan Ze joked.

Zhao Xing waved his hand, and the hundred-meter-high wooden door with a unique number opened, with rays of light overflowing; behind the door was a light blue vortex.

"Whoosh~" Zhao Xing and the four entered this independent space.

Seven days later, Lu Yuehan also arrived at the Time Chamber.

After entering, Zhao Xing just randomly chatted with the four about some topics without nutrition.

Gradually, Zhan Ze couldn't sit still: "Brother Zhao, you don't even have singing and dancing here; just eating and drinking is not very interesting."

"Brother Zhan, please be patient." Zhao Xing said lightly: "I will definitely let you see a big show."

"Oh? Meaning there are other guests coming?" Lu Yuehan asked.

"Hmm." Zhao Xing nodded.

"I wonder who else Brother Zhao invited?" Du Yun also asked curiously.

"You will know in a while."

What Zhao Xing called "in a while" was actually five years later, in the year 2060 of the Shixin Era.

"... peaking of which, Brother Yun was once a member of the Purple God Mansion; it's a pity that my Purple God Mansion couldn't keep talent." Du Yun was drinking.

"Being valued by King Taiyue and accepted as a formal disciple by Lord Ruohai, Brother Yun is also a peerless genius." Zhan Ze raised his glass: "I toast Brother Yun."

"You two are too kind." Yun Tiandao raised his glass, still looking humble.

"Drink." Lu Yuehan also smiled.

However, Zhao Xing was absent-minded.

The others saw this and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Zhao, why do you keep staring at the door?"

At this time, they were all drinking on floating platforms, with a total of seventeen floating platforms, the bases supported by clouds and mist, surrounded by two golden arch bridges behind them.

Zhao Xing sat in the main seat, facing the wooden door in the air.

"I..."

At this moment, Zhao Xing's eyes narrowed.

The four followed Zhao Xing's gaze and saw the wooden door open automatically.

"Whoosh~"

Then a ray of light came in, as if sunlight was shining into this small world.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp~" The space of the small world was completely distorted by the flames of the Golden Body, and everyone's gaze seemed to be trapped in it.

The person who came was Meng Wu from the Red Star Empire!

"This kind of momentum..." Du Yun's pupils shrank. "Reincarnation Realm?"

"Zhao Xing actually has a Reincarnation Realm guest?" Zhan Ze and Lu Yuehan were also extremely surprised.

Only Yun Tiandao, although surprised, remained calm.

Now that he had reached the Great Supernatural Ability Realm, Zhao Xing still remained full of mysterious colors in his heart.

"General Meng, please take your seat!" Zhao Xing stood up and gestured for him to sit.

"Oh?" Meng Wu scanned the five people on the floating platform and couldn't help but smile. "You are Emperor Tianning?"

"Not bad." Zhao Xing remained calm. "Please take your seat, General."

Hearing this title, Yun Tiandao's face looked strange.

Emperor Tianning?

This guy, didn't he borrow Liu Tianning's name?

What exactly did he want to do?

Du Yun didn't have such associations, because he had no impression of Liu Tianning at all.

Just hearing Zhao Xing call himself "Emperor Tianning," his face was incomparably shocked.

How could Zhao Xing have such a great background?

Could it be that he was an Emperor who was reincarnating?

Lu Yuehan and Zhan Ze's brains directly crashed, completely stunned.

They didn't even know when Meng Wu sat down.

"Seventeen seats, six are gone." Meng Wu scanned them. "It seems Emperor Tianning's 'old friends' are more than just Meng."

Meng Wu bit the words "old friends" very hard.

He was tricked into coming here by Zhao Xing under the name of an "old friend."

"General, please be patient." Zhao Xing said lightly, "I will explain to the General soon."

Meng Wu nodded and didn't say anything else, just took a sip of wine.

He tasted it and found the flavor average, so he switched to the wine he brought himself.

The remaining four on Zhao Xing's side didn't dare to speak at all, and didn't even dare to make any extra movements.

Meng Wu of the Red Star Empire! An Emperor-level figure!

This was actually Zhao Xing's guest of honor?

However, they didn't have to be surprised for long.

Soon the wooden door opened again.

"Whoosh~"

A majestic figure, like a mountain, squeezed in.

He wore a black robe, with fine silver star patterns embroidered on the hem, and a majestic mountain range floating on his chest, with a sun star on it.

"Emperor Hongshan?!" Du Yun couldn't help but exclaim.

Huan Feng's grandmaster was Emperor Hongshan, and he had met him once!

"Eh? Du kid, you are here too." Emperor Hongshan was tied with a dark blue jade belt, the jade quality was warm and moist, as if natural, and a transparent spirit crystal was inlaid on it, with lightning flashes appearing in it from time to time, as if sealing ancient divine thunder.

Surrounded by circles of faint golden light, each rune was ancient and mysterious, flashing with brilliant light, just like the stars of the heavens surrounding him.

"Boom~"

When Emperor Hongshan entered, the floating platforms were affected by him, and they were attracted forward by a distance.

"Clang~" Meng Wu put down his wine glass at the right time, as if this pressure suppressed the seventeen floating platforms.

Emperor Hongshan looked over and was a bit surprised: "Meng Wu? You are here too."

"Hongshan." Meng Wu nodded slightly.

"You wouldn't be Emperor Tianning, would you?" Hongshan asked, after all, Meng Wu was the only Reincarnation Realm cultivator here.

"Not me." Meng Wu shook his head slightly.

"Emperor Hongshan, please sit." Zhao Xing gestured for him to sit.

Seeing Zhao Xing sitting in the host's seat, Hongshan was stunned.

However, seeing Meng Wu sitting honestly, he didn't say anything more and sat next to Meng Wu.

The Ancient Hill of Primordial and the Red Star Empire were considered friendly factions, and they had cooperated many times.

"Du, Du Yun, what exactly is the background of this Brother Zhao." Zhan Ze was a bit numb.

First came Emperor Meng Wu, then Emperor Hongshan.

Two Emperor-level figures came at once!

He had previously disliked the banquet for lacking style and fun.

Now the style was too high, and he was a bit scared.

"You ask me, who do I ask?" Du Yun was also confused.

He couldn't help but recall Zhuo En's prophecy, and a sense of unease surged in his heart.

But Du Yun didn't know where this feeling came from.

This was the Dharma Assembly of the Spirit Domain; besides the headquarters of those super-factions, was there any place safer than this?

Lu Yuehan felt a bit panicked, because her family's ancestor was only an elite Reincarnation Realm cultivator, and these two were Emperors!

"Emperor Tianning? No wonder he wouldn't let me be his Dao companion..." Lu Yuehan thought of this again.

"Zhao Xing, you still have eight seats here; the guests coming won't all be Reincarnation Realm cultivators, right?" Yun Tiandao finally couldn't help but transmit his voice.

He rented this room for Zhao Xing; when he asked Zhao Xing what he was doing, Zhao Xing only replied that he was entertaining guests.

He only thought they were friends Zhao Xing had known for over a thousand years; he didn't expect the guests to be Reincarnation Realm cultivators!

"Hmm, not necessarily all, but as long as they come, they are Reincarnation Realm cultivators." Zhao Xing replied.

"..." Yun Tiandao was speechless.

He fought bloody battles on the demon battlefield outside the border, experienced hardships, and finally became a Great Supernatural Ability cultivator, and was able to worship an elite Reincarnation Realm cultivator as a teacher.

But Zhao Xing's guests were Reincarnation Realm cultivators!

What method did he use to pull them over?

"What exactly is the big thing you want to do?" Yun Tiandao was a bit scared.

Not afraid of death, but afraid of dying here just like this, unable to save his Dao companion and the Xia Emperor.

"Can't say yet." Zhao Xing said.

A month after Emperor Hongshan entered, the wooden door opened again.

A throne magnified in everyone's field of vision.

"Emperor Lingyuan?" Du Yun and Zhan Ze felt their scalps go numb.

As for Lu Yuehan and Yun Tiandao, they couldn't recognize him at all, and could only tell from Du Yun and Zhan Ze's expressions that this was probably another behemoth-level powerhouse.

Yin-Yang Dao Domain Realm cultivators were huge threats to them, and Life-Death Dao Domain Realm cultivators could crush them at will.

But the three people who appeared here could kill Life-Death Dao Domain Realm cultivators at will.

Except for Zhao Xing, the other four were almost suffocating.

"Who is Emperor Tianning?" Lingyuan didn't fly over, just sat on the throne and asked coldly.

"Emperor Lingyuan, I am Emperor Tianning; please take your seat." Zhao Xing gestured for him to sit.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Lingyuan just glanced at Zhao Xing and immediately took action.

"A mere Origin Realm cultivator, daring to impersonate an Emperor to tease me? Die!"

He didn't care about Meng Wu and Hongshan being present, and in an instant, he killed Zhao Xing.

Meng Wu had no intention of taking action.

Because if Zhao Xing died and things exploded out of him, Meng Wu believed he would be the first to grab them at such a close distance.

Emperor Hongshan wanted to take action, but didn't have time, because Zhao Xing was too fragile and couldn't even withstand a glance.

Unless he had been protecting Zhao Xing by his side from the beginning.

"Whoosh~"

White light emerged.

The Time Chamber returned to two months ago.

Meng Wu and Emperor Hongshan looked at their bodies with abnormal expressions.

They felt time flowing backward on them!

The two looked at each other, seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Then they looked at Zhao Xing, only to see Zhao Xing still standing with his hands behind his back.

"Click~" At this moment, the wooden door opened.

Emperor Lingyuan walked in with a complex expression.

"Lingyuan, I have invited you once; I will not invite you a second time." Zhao Xing said lightly.

Emperor Lingyuan's face was cloudy and sunny; the moment he took action, a white light flashed before his eyes, and he found that he had returned to outside the door world and was standing in front of the wooden door.

"Time Chamber, what a Time Chamber." Lingyuan's voice was as cold as a cold wind; he didn't mind Zhao Xing's attitude at all, but was a bit excited instead.

"I believe in Emperor Tianning now."

After saying that, Emperor Lingyuan bowed, considering it an apology, and then sat opposite Meng Wu, next to Zhan Ze.

Zhao Xing glanced at Lingyuan without speaking.

As an Emperor-level powerhouse, he could feel the reversal of the Great Dao of Time on him; in other words, they could preserve their memories.

And this had no effect on the world outside the Time Chamber; now that Zhao Xing had been "whipped" by Ji Si for two hundred years, he was more adept at using the Time Page.

It was just that this range would not let people outside know, unless it was an Emperor-level participant, or a God-level observation happened to cast its gaze on the Time Chamber.

As for Du Yun, Zhan Ze, Yun Tiandao, and Lu Yuehan, there was no way; they didn't remember what happened at all.

But Zhan Ze was also scared, because in his memory, Lingyuan came in, and Zhao Xing had a cold attitude.

"My God, Brother Du. He, he actually dared to speak to Emperor Lingyuan like that, this, this..."

"I believe in Emperor Tianning now."

After saying that, Emperor Lingyuan bowed, which was considered an apology, and then sat opposite Meng Wu, next to Zhan Ze.

Zhao Xing looked at Lingyuan and didn't speak.

As an Emperor-level powerhouse, he can feel the countercurrent of the time avenue on himself; in other words, they can preserve memories.

And this has no effect on the world outside the time room. Now, after Ji Si's two hundred years of "whipping", Zhao Xing is also more handy in using the Time Page.

It's just that this range will not let people outside know at all, unless it is an Emperor-level participant, or the God Realm observation happens to cast its gaze into the time room.

As for Du Yun, Zhan Ze, Yun Tiandao, and Lu Yuehan, there is no way; they don't remember what happened at all.

But Zhan Ze was also scared, because in his memory, Lingyuan came in, and Zhao Xing had a cold attitude.

"My God, Brother Du. He, he actually dared to talk to Emperor Lingyuan like that, this, this..."
