Chapter 405: Zhao Xing's Mirror Image, Unexpected Joy, an Emperor-Level Seed! (11,000)

At the third checkpoint, countless mirrors appeared on the lush grassland.

The appearance of the mirrors was chaotic; some were lying on the ground, some were standing on the grass, and others were floating in the sky.

The mirrors were large and small, but the styles were about the same, all with flowing cloud four-leaf patterns and twelve-zodiac patterns. The difference was the color of the inlay, with three colors: yellow, blue, and red.

"I can't see what this checkpoint is either. Everyone be careful." Du Qing looked at the front with uncertainty.

The two scholars couldn't see anything at all.

Zhao Xing frowned because he couldn't see anything either.

"Since we can't see it, let's try to break through by force." You Yitian put the people down and went to break through the checkpoint by himself.

Qi School warriors are nothing but tough, with high defense and thick blood, and tenacious vitality. At You Yitian's level, unless the soul in the golden body is completely annihilated, even if he is smashed to pieces, he can be put together by a physician.

After You Yitian erupted, his aura surged to the heavens, making people tremble just by looking at it.

However, in just an instant, You Yitian withdrew his aura.

Zhao Xing stood at the very end of the team watching.

He was still maintaining the appearance of the Divine Turtle Transformation. If there was a problem with the third checkpoint, he would instantly release the Divine Turtle Transformation and then be expelled by the Expelling Guests Order.

After You Yitian entered the mirror checkpoint, he quickly disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

Two months later, You Yitian appeared again.

"Brother You, how is the situation?" Fan Yu asked.

"I didn't reach the end of the checkpoint, but I didn't encounter any danger either." You Yitian said.

"No tests at all?" Du Qing asked.

"None." You Yitian shook his head.

"Then is there anything you find strange?" The black-robed scholar asked.

"Strange things..." You Yitian thought for a while: "If I have to say, it's that the reflections in those mirrors feel strange."

"Be more specific." Du Qing said.

"It's as if the reflections in the mirrors are looking at me." You Yitian said.

The black-robed scholar asked thoughtfully: "Brother You, what do the mirrors that make you feel strange look like? Do they have three statues inlaid on the edge?"

"Eh? How did you know?" You Yitian was puzzled: "There really are."

"I just guessed." The black-robed scholar said.

"Peng Yuan, what did you think of?" Du Qing asked.

"In the historical materials unearthed from the Wu Yue Luo Ancient Kingdom, there is a record of a legendary strange array called the 'Three Origin Transformation God Array'."

"This strange array can replicate others' supernatural powers and Dao methods, gathering everyone's cultivation and abilities in the array onto one person." Peng Yuan said.

"I remember now." Du Qing realized, "It is rumored that this was a 'God-Making Project' researched by the crazy scholars of that era."

"Correct." Peng Yuan nodded: "A large number of Reincarnation Realm scholars perform group empowerment on another Reincarnation Realm scholar."

"In the end, they created a powerful God Realm expert."

"Did they succeed?" You Yitian asked curiously.

"There is no record, and it is unknown whether they succeeded." Du Qing shook his head.

Hearing this, Zhao Xing couldn't help but shake his head secretly. If the God Realm were so easy to achieve, there wouldn't be so few.

Scholars' God-Making Movement didn't just exist in the era of the Wu Yue Luo Ancient Kingdom. In this era, it hadn't stopped either. It was just that the plans had progressed a lot.

And in the near future, there would soon be a version called "Scholar God Descent".

Zhao Xing calculated the time; the crazy scholars in the Xuanling Star Region of this era were probably already collecting materials and making preparations in secret.

Before the "Scholar God Descent" version, players who could reach the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm would have the opportunity to receive the "God Selection" mission from that group of crazy people and become one of the candidates.

The more talented they were, the easier it was to receive it!

This mission was also very deceptive; the crazy scholars would disguise themselves as great philanthropists, and the mission content would be some small-difficulty tricks, or even prepared by themselves.

With almost free methods, they would turn the candidates into Reincarnation Realm holders!

Then, they would lie on the chopping block and become the scholars' candidates.

The first batch of players who cultivated up were all ghosts and spirits. There were seven people in total, and five of them participated in the "Initial Selection of Gods," and Zhao Xing was one of them.

However, when the mission was halfway through, Old Master Zhao felt something was wrong, so he took the benefits and tried to run away.

Among the remaining four, three ran away in the second stage.

The first batch of players were all ghosts and spirits, and those three got even more benefits than he did.

Only one fool felt that this was a great opportunity and was completely addicted to it, no matter how he was persuaded, he wouldn't listen.

In the end, his level was stripped away, and after resurrection, he became a mortal.

The god-creation movement of that era recorded in the historical archives of the Wu Yue Luo Ancient Kingdom (which was not initiated by the Wu Yue Luo Ancient Kingdom itself) was essentially similar to what occurred in later versions.

Scholars' wishful thinking, perhaps the methods and means changed a lot, whether it was the Three Origin Transformation God Array or other arrays, it was just changing the soup but not the medicine.

They all took "replication" and "preaching" as the core of the scholars' abilities.

It was just unknown what tricks would be played here.

But Zhao Xing felt that this Dao Domain Realm scholar's Dao Treasury shouldn't have such an array.

"We shouldn't encounter such a method." Fan Yu shook her head after hearing this.

"Yes, this thing sounds illegal." You Yitian said. "No super power would allow such a crazy move."

Peng Yuan nodded: "I was just guessing; I suddenly thought of this historical record."

Du Qing said: "Regardless, the situation now is that one person definitely can't pass, because Brother You didn't trigger the test."

"I think fifty-three people should walk together."

You Yitian said: "Why not divide into several groups?"

Fan Yu said: "Regardless of whether this array is a legend, it always involves the core ability of scholars: replication."

"If this array replicates another you, and you act in groups, what should everyone do if you encounter another you blocking the way?"

You Yitian felt that this was a disguised compliment to himself, so he couldn't help but smile and nod: "That's true."

"Let's go; everyone get on me."

"You will never learn to swim on the shore. Let's go try the water."

You Yitian clapped his hands, and everyone got on the carriage.

However, this time everyone was swallowed into his stomach, Fan Yu included.

"Hiss~"

You Yitian enlarged, took a deep breath.

Then he patted his stomach, indicating that he was about to act, and let the people inside sit well in his stomach.

This was Zhao Xing's first time sitting on a "meat boat" in his life.

You Yitian's stomach world was red and green, with flames occasionally drifting by, and they were standing on a meat mountain.

"Bang bang!"

Suddenly, a great vibration came.

You Yitian patted his stomach.

"Zhao Xing, can you see what kind of method You Yitian practices internally?" The speaker was Huangfu Yun. Perhaps because they both encountered difficulties at the second checkpoint, he started chatting with Zhao Xing.

"I don't understand much, so please enlighten me, brother." Zhao Xing cupped his hands.

"You Yitian's stomach wall has four red and one green aura; the five internal organs and four gods all come to fire, only the liver produces green wood."

"Fire and wood generate each other; this is the path of the Five Qi Baking Furnace Method, which can protect the interior from damage, and can even use the method of swallowing to kill enemies."

"But his baking furnace hasn't taken shape yet, and the five qi only show fire and wood, so it looks..."

"As if the pot has no lid, the furnace has no top, and everything eaten is burnt, full but not refined?" Zhao Xing made an analogy.

"Correct." Huangfu Yun smiled: "Brother Zhao is good at analogies."

There were not many True Self School practitioners in the Yuanhai Realm. Huangfu Yun could be said to be the only living True Self School Si Nong Zhao Xing had seen in over a thousand years.

Since Huangfu Yun took the initiative to chat, he wouldn't put on airs, and the two chatted privately.

"I see Brother Zhao also practices the True Self Dao?" Huangfu Yun asked.

"I haven't cast it before. How did you see it, brother?"

"Excuse my rudeness, but when you answered the question, I took a few more looks, and I felt that your inner world seemed exceptionally majestic, unlike ordinary Si Nongs who just practice it casually and use it as a storage space."

"Brother Huangfu has good eyes; I did spend some effort." Zhao Xing said. "It's just that it's also mediocre."

In reality, Zhao Xing's True Self Dao now had two supernatural powers. Giant Yang Straw Person, Sixth Stage. Ti Yuan Supernatural Power, Fourth Stage.

However, Zhao Xing had high requirements for himself. The Primordial World practiced in the Yuanhai Realm had no way forward after the early stage of the Third Realm. Except for large spiritual energy storage and large space, it had no other special features, which was indeed a mediocre level.

The King-level troop type, Mo Yun Vine, was worth mentioning; it was already close to the level of the Great Supernatural Power Realm.

Relying entirely on it, Zhao Xing could suppress that pile of messy illusion star mushrooms.

Otherwise, he would have exploded inside his own body.

"The Yuanhai Realm is indeed not a good method, but if you want to learn the True Self School's cultivation techniques, you need to join a force."

"If you want to walk the True Self School path, why not join the 'Thousand Wood Island' of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom." Huangfu Yun asked.

Huangfu Yun was talking about a first-class True Self School force in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, but it was famous for raising economic plants, and it was not outstanding in terms of combat.

"I'm used

"Boom—"

Just then, Zhao Xing and the others heard a sound.

Then, everyone saw the Qi-blood barrier of the stomach wall suddenly collapse, caving in to form the shape of a fist.

"What's going on?"

"There's a battle."

"Huh? Why are there two You Yitian?"

"Hiss, did it really replicate a You Yitian?"

A Mechanist took out an external observation mirror and tossed it above the meat mountain.

The interior displayed the situation outside.

They saw two You Yitian fighting together.

"It really is a replicated mirror image!"

"Wonderful, truly marvelous. It can actually fight You Yitian to a standstill; their strength is evenly matched."

Peng Yuan and Du Qing watched, completely mesmerized.

Zhao Xing also looked over, seeing the mirror image punch You Yitian in the stomach, while You Yitian grabbed the opponent's throat, intending to crush the mirror image.

The two fought for a full two months, yet there was still no winner.

They used the same moves and had the same strength; neither could break the other's technique.

"Scholars after death are truly powerful," Huangfu Yun remarked with a sigh as he watched. "It even replicated the accessories on You Yitian's body perfectly."

"Indeed impressive," Zhao Xing nodded.

The challenge seemed to have reached a stalemate, but not long after, Fan Yu flew out.

Fan Yu was a Great Divine Realm Mind Illusionist; her profession was considered a counter to Qi Sect martial artists.

With Fan Yu's assistance, the mirror image was soon defeated.

However, it still took a full half-year to completely annihilate the mirror image.

"The mirror image perfectly replicated the characteristics of a Qi Sect martial artist. For the last three months, the mirror image was completely on the defensive, yet it actually held out for three months before exploding," Zhao Xing said, watching with great interest.

Next, You Yitian continued flying toward the east. After defeating the first enemy, he soon encountered the second mirror image—Fan Yu.

The real and fake Fan Yu exchanged moves, and they also couldn't break each other's techniques.

The mirror image even perfectly simulated the Taiyin Dao Soldiers on Fan Yu's body.

You Yitian stood by; at first, his help was minimal. It wasn't until both the real and fake Fan Yu exhausted their soul power that he found an opportunity to end the battle.

"It seems this stage, while complex, isn't too difficult. As long as the challengers know how to cooperate, they can pass," Du Qing analyzed.

"Yes, if it were split into teams, it would be difficult," Peng Yuan said. "Or if unfamiliar teams entered together and randomly generated other enemies, that would be quite troublesome."

After the mirror images of Fan Yu and You Yitian were defeated, the next enemies generated were the other cultivators among the fifty-three people.

However, a change occurred here; when it came to the other professions, the quantity increased.

For example, there was a Poison Physician named 'Fang Gang', and the third obstacle was ten mirror images of Fang Gang.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~"

As soon as Fang Gang's mirror images appeared, they were accompanied by massive amounts of green poisonous mist, desperately trying to burrow into You Yitian's body.

You Yitian's strategy was also very simple: he opened his mouth wide, took a fierce breath, his cheeks puffed up, and then he transformed it into a poison gas arrow, shooting Fang Gang's mirror images to death.

"Hahahaha, Brother Fang, you died so miserably."

"Brother Fang's mirror image is quite clever, setting an ambush in advance to create poison gas?"

"Tsk tsk, impressive."

The exploration team inside saw the mirror image of an acquaintance torn to pieces before their eyes and began to tease him.

Fang Gang was teased by his companions and could only shake his head helplessly: "The Qi Sect's Great Divine technique and precious body are formidable and don't fear green poison; what can be done?"

"Zither music? Whose mirror image is this?"

"It's Yao Feng's, haha, Brother Yao's mirror image has appeared."

"Yao Feng, why does this move sound like the battle song of 'Star Ripple Three Layers'?"

"Listening closely, it doesn't seem quite like it."

"Eh? Why did it change to 'Qi Light Cloud Dream Song'? Two songs for the price of one? Impressive, impressive."

"Brother Yao, say something and give Captain You a tip. How do you break this duet?" someone teased.

Yao Feng's face flushed red as he said: "Shut up, stop talking."

Huangfu Yun couldn't help but be puzzled: "Brother Zhao, what are they laughing at?"

"An inside joke among experts," Zhao Xing chuckled. "Yao Feng learned a pirated song. The first half is a Minor Divine technique, but the power drops sharply in the second half, turning into a Void technique."

"Listening to them chat, it seems Yao Feng was swindled before."

"This stage really makes one's Dao heart collapse," Huangfu Yun couldn't help but laugh.

With You Yitian leading the way, Fan Yu assisting, and the other Minor Divine Realm mirror images appearing to block the path, the deaths were all sorts of strange.

In front of acquaintances, this was truly a social death stage.

The Mechanists even clamored to record it; once the danger was gone, everyone became jokers.

The point was that the mirror images cast spells randomly. Like Yao Feng, who happened to cast a pirated song and was then blown up by You Yitian, it was truly unbearable to watch.

Just as they were laughing, Zhao Xing pointed: "Yo, Brother Huangfu, it's your turn."

Huangfu Yun looked over with curiosity. Ahead, a dense forest appeared, with many mirrors embedded around it.

Three Huangfu Yuns appeared in front of the forest.

"Brother Huangfu, not bad. Does the mirror dojo judge that three of you are enough to threaten You Yitian?" Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised.

According to the two scholars Du Qing and Peng Yuan, the number spawned also represented strength.

Could it be that three Huangfu Yuns blocking the path could threaten You Yitian?

"There is still a large gap between me and a Great Divine practitioner," Huangfu Yun said modestly. "The claims of Du and Peng cannot be taken as truth."

"Huangfu Yun, what kind of troop type is this? There are quite a lot of them," someone asked.

As You Yitian approached, a dense swarm of Tree-man warriors emerged from the forest behind the three mirror images.

Their heads were crowned with silver flowers, while their trunks and limbs were the color of dawn.

Each held a long spear, and they had magic talismans stuck to their bodies.

"Not only were the troop types replicated, but even the magic talismans were replicated?" someone marveled secretly.

"The Colossus Tree is a monster-level entity; its tree-heart origin can condense some Second Realm Colossus Tree-man warriors," Huangfu Yun replied. "I hope you all forgive my display."

"Brother Huangfu, this isn't just warrior-level; there are quite a few commander-level Tree-men," Zhao Xing observed.

The three forests combined, and there were exactly thirty thousand Tree-man warriors!

The mirror image only replicated this one type of troop, but their strength could not be underestimated.

29,900 warriors, all at the peak of the Second Realm, and with the blessing of 'Green Wood' magic talismans, each holding a top-grade Boundary Star Dao Soldier!

This meant that Huangfu Yun himself truly possessed ten thousand top-grade Boundary Star Dao Soldiers and ten thousand Green Wood magic talismans!

In addition, there were one hundred Tree-man commanders, their crowns and trunks the same color, as dazzling as the sun.

These one hundred people had all reached the Third Realm!

Three of them held low-grade Taiyin Dao Soldiers.

On their chests and backs, they all had Five Elements talismans stuck to them.

"Huangfu Yun, when did you secretly get rich?" You Yitian couldn't help but frown as he watched this scene. "You even have Taiyin Dao Soldiers."

The mirror image replicated three of them, so Huangfu Yun himself must have at least one.

A low-grade Taiyin Dao Soldier costs at least twenty million Red Star coins; that's not easy to earn.

Out of the fifty-three people, only the two Great Divine Realm practitioners, Fan Yu and You Yitian, had their own personal Taiyin Dao Soldiers.

The others either couldn't afford them or couldn't unleash their power.

Taiyin Dao Soldiers are basically used by Five Elements Dao Domain Realm or Great Divine Realm practitioners.

But since Huangfu Yun bought one, it meant he could use it.

"Brother Huangfu, is your Benwo Sect Si Nong so wealthy?"

"Impressive~"

"You have to treat us when we get back!"

"..."

"Captain You, everyone. I only bought it recently," Huangfu Yun said with a bitter smile. "It cost me one hundred million Red Star coins; I've already sold everything I own."

He had intended to show off his skills at the Wu Yue Luo Mausoleum and hadn't even used it yet after buying it; he didn't expect to show it off here in such a different way.

Although Huangfu Yun looked like he had no choice, he was actually quite proud inside.

However, You Yitian was not very happy.

Three Huangfu Yuns and thirty thousand Colossus Tree-men attacked together, making You Yitian howl in pain.

Huangfu Yun's mirror image really hurt him!

Especially the three commander-level Tree-men holding Taiyin Dao Soldiers; they were just as thick-skinned as him, and their innate divine ability was defensive.

The Colossus Tree-man race had immense vitality; minor injuries meant nothing. If You Yitian were only a Minor Divine Realm practitioner, he would be beaten black and blue by Huangfu Yun.

Fan Yu's mind illusion had a poor effect on the Tree-men. Although You Yitian could sweep away a large area of Tree-man warriors, they would soon crawl back up!

Severed limbs regenerating and piecing themselves back together—it was truly annoying!

"How long is this going to take?"

"Don't exhaust Captain You's stamina too much. Huangfu Yun, go out and help the Captain."

The two scholars gave the order. "Yes." Huangfu Yun immediately flew out.

"Damn, how can your troop type suck human blood? I can't even recover the blood Qi I lost."

"Captain You, this is because I had someone modify the Colossus Trees; the commanders have a parasitic innate ability... I will clear them for you, Captain!"

"Then what about these weapons?"

"They are custom-made Dao Soldiers, Life-Death Guns. They are called guns, but they actually have a cannon form. The shot that just hit you switched to parasitic cannon mode, firing a patch of Colossus parasitic seeds, which are mainly used to break a martial artist's Golden Body."

"Ah, damn it! This is so annoying!"

You Yitian spent a great deal of effort to clear the obstacles in this stage.

Before this, he had been fighting all the way through without stopping.

But after finishing off the three Huangfu Yuns, he finally stopped to rest.

Zhao Xing had been happy, and seeing Huangfu Yun make You Yitian so miserable gave him a sense of shared honor.

Please... you... bookmark_()

However, after seeing Huangfu Yun's situation, he suddenly thought of something.

"Wait, the reason Huangfu Yun and I appeared so late is probably because the mirror dojo was replicating the troop types, which is why it prepared so slowly."

Zhao Xing's heart sank, he performed an internal inspection, and then made an estimate.

"You Yitian's team should be able to handle it, right?"

Zhao Xing began to pray in his heart, hoping it wouldn't spawn mushrooms or Cloud-Climbing Vines. The Giant Yang clones were fine, and the other troop types, 【Nine Yin Demon Vines】 and 【Heavenly Sound Bamboo】, were only at the peak of the Second Realm, so they shouldn't be much of a threat.

However, he still gave a reminder: "Ahem, Captain You, it's better not to rest for too long; pass this stage as soon as possible."

Receiving Zhao Xing's telepathic message, You Yitian, who had just sat down to rest, couldn't help but be puzzled: "Brother Zhao, I just stopped; is there something urgent?"

Fighting all the way here, his stamina had dropped to below half.

"I suspect that the longer we stay in this stage, the longer the mirror dojo takes to prepare. My mirror image hasn't appeared yet, which might cause some trouble... so I suggest the Captain adopt a fast recovery method to pass."

You Yitian was stunned for a moment. He really wanted to say that Zhao Xing was only a Minor Divine Realm practitioner; could he be more troublesome than Huangfu Yun?

To be considerate of Zhao Xing's feelings, he didn't say it bluntly.

He just sought Fan Yu to discuss: "What do you think?"

Fan Yu pondered: "It's obvious that Zhao Xing is highly regarded by the Prefecture Master, otherwise Mr. Du wouldn't have let us wait for him."

"It's better to listen to his suggestion; recover as quickly as you can."

"Alright, everyone inside, move aside; I'm going to start a rapid replenishment."

You Yitian was very willing to listen to advice and immediately began to speed up his recovery.

The stomach space began to drop massive amounts of ingredients, like an earthquake or falling meteorites.

However, they were soon dissolved by the Four Viscera Fire, turning into origin spiritual energy to replenish every part of his body.

With fast-food replenishment, You Yitian only stayed for seven days before fully restoring his state.

Then, he continued on his way.

Zhao Xing was staring nervously at the observation mirror.

Soon, a familiar figure appeared in his field of vision.

It was the mirror image of Zhao Xing.

Good news: neither the Cloud-Climbing Vines nor the Giant Yang clones appeared.

Bad news: there was only one mirror image, and it was frantically casting the Essence-Extraction Divine Ability at a transparent mushroom.

Zhao Xing activated his Soul Heavenly Vision to look; a mushroom forest appeared ahead, and at a glance, he couldn't see the end of it.

"Captain, be careful," Zhao Xing couldn't help but send a telepathic warning.

"How the hell am I supposed to be careful when you're throwing mushrooms directly at me!" You Yitian let out a strange cry and retreated rapidly.

"Hum~"

The cold-faced mirror image of Zhao Xing stood atop a mushroom, hands casting spells, constantly manipulating origin projections to throw mushrooms.

Visible ones, invisible ones—a massive pile of mushrooms came rushing over!

"Woo~"

"Cheep—"

"Roar roar~"

"Heh heh~"

You Yitian didn't understand why mushrooms could make such sounds.

After the torture of the previous Benwo Sect practitioner, You Yitian was already somewhat stressed by the Benwo Sect.

He had forgotten that he was here to pass the challenge; running away blindly would only give the mirror dojo more time to prepare.

"You Yitian, don't run!" Fan Qing said: "Try the combat power of the mushroom species first."

"Alright." You Yitian's figure stopped, and he turned to smash at a transparent mushroom behind him.

Zhao Xing was watching closely.

The explosion he expected didn't happen.

"Pfft!"

You Yitian's fist felt like it had smashed into a rotten fruit, and his entire arm went through it.

"Huh?"

You Yitian's sensation was completely different; he felt like he had stuck his hand into the core of a sun star.

His arm heated up rapidly, instantly turning bright red, looking just like a Qilin Arm!

"Damn! What kind of sorcery is this!"

You Yitian was stunned, because the transparent mushroom immediately turned fiery red, and only then did it explode.

Since obtaining the Essence-Extraction Divine Ability, the mushrooms in Zhao Xing's origin space had evolved countless versions.

Air explosions don't deal much damage; of course, wrapping around the target before exploding deals more power!

"Boom!"

You Yitian was blasted back three steps.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

He frantically shook his arm.

"Heavens, You Yitian actually had one ten-thousandth of his blood Qi blasted away?!" A physician monitoring You Yitian's Golden Body status was stunned.

After discovering this, he was completely shocked.

"Who, whose mushroom is this?!"

Huangfu Yun looked at Zhao Xing in shock.

"Brother, you..."

Zhao Xing nodded helplessly: "That's right, it's mine."

"Hiss, is this what you called 'so-so'?" Huangfu Yun gasped. "What's the origin of this mushroom species?"

"Don't ask, I don't know either," Zhao Xing shook his head; he truly didn't know.

You Yitian and Fan Yu were asking the same question.

But Zhao Xing really didn't know.

If he knew, why would he be worried?

"Brother Zhao, are you from the Demonization school?" Huangfu Yun subconsciously took a step back.

Calling him the Demonization school was Huangfu Yun being polite.

He was basically saying Zhao Xing was from the Madman school.

Any Benwo Sect Si Nong who recklessly researches 'Life Origin' and breaks life taboos can be called a 'Great Demon King'.

In the eyes of the world, they are definitely madmen and villains!

Of course, every profession has madmen who take extreme paths, disregarding everything in pursuit of the Great Dao. Scholars have them, and Si Nong have them too.

"I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense," Zhao Xing hurriedly denied it three times. "Mine are all proper divine abilities. This was just an accident."

Huangfu Yun subconsciously nodded, but took another step back.

He didn't believe it at all!

The other Si Nong were also looking at Zhao Xing with strange expressions.

"Boom!"

You Yitian was blasted again.

"Capture the leader first to capture the bandits, Old You, use your Ancestral Divine Ability to charge through!" Fan Yu reminded.

Ancestral Divine Ability is the collective term for all innate and acquired divine abilities of the Void Ancestor.

You Yitian was, after all, a Great Divine Qi Sect martial artist. After losing ten percent of his blood Qi, he decisively activated the Void Ancestor divine ability 'Rice Grain Mixing Heaven Technique'.

In an instant, You Yitian shrank to the size of a rice grain. At this moment, his defensive power surged significantly.

The team members inside his body also felt a severe squeezing sensation, becoming very uncomfortable.

However, the impact wasn't too great because the space inside his body had also changed; this move already involved the mysteries of a Great Divine space ability!

With the fluctuation of spiritual energy in his body, everyone felt a massive attractive force appear on him, just like a Boundary Star, pulling at all the origin spiritual energy in the surroundings.

The first to bear the brunt was the mirror image of Zhao Xing.

"A Great Divine Qi Sect martial artist is truly extraordinary."

Zhao Xing watched closely; he watched with his own eyes as the mirror image's spiritual energy burst out of its body, as if it were being sucked away by You Yitian!

Across a distance of thousands of miles, half of its magic power was instantly taken away!

"You Yitian has a Taiyin Seventh-Stage Golden Body; he isn't as strong as the normal Chen Chen Xuan's Golden Body, but after casting this move, his Golden Body temporarily reached Solar Fourth-Stage, even suppressing Chen Chen Xuan."

"Approaching You Yitian is like approaching a low-grade sun star."

"If a Minor Divine Realm practitioner on the spell path approaches within 100 million kilometers of him, they need at least 10 times the speed of light to escape."

"No dojo, yet better than a dojo."

Body like a rice grain, light like a sun, Great Divine martial technique 【Rice Grain Mixing Heaven Technique】!

Facing this eerie mushroom forest, You Yitian really showed all his trump cards!

"It's actually very calm now; I don't feel any vibration at all," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Only three seconds later, his own mirror image was smashed by the rice grain, disintegrating inch by inch.

And as the mirror image dissipated, all the mushroom explosions in the surroundings froze and vanished instantly.

"Whew~"

You Yitian returned to his comfortable form, his face turning bright red, then shifting to a dark cyan.

The Yin and Yang in his body were briefly unbalanced, but he immediately spat out a physician, and with one inside and one outside, they began to coordinate his recovery.

"Half of my blood Qi is gone, and I'm poisoned."

"What kind of toxin is this? Brother Wang, I've never seen it before."

"I haven't seen it either; it's very strange."

"How should we handle it?"

"Cut it off; he's a Qi Sect martial artist anyway, it'll grow back fast."

"Why not try the Source Blood Needle first?"

"That works too."

The two physicians quickly formulated a plan.

You Yitian finally purged the hidden injuries and toxins seven days later. It wasn't entirely caused by Zhao Xing's wave, but by the time it reached Zhao Xing, it all erupted at once.

"It cost me sixty percent of my blood Qi and I was poisoned. What is Zhao Xing's background?" You Yitian looked at the apologetic Zhao Xing, unable to help but feel curious.

"Brother You, I apologize," Zhao Xing bowed in apology.

"It's nothing, it's nothing," You Yitian waved his hand: "Come to think of it, it was my dereliction of duty; I never asked about Brother Zhao's background before."

Originally, he had wanted to let Zhao Xing just lie back and hadn't intended for Zhao Xing to exert himself at all.

He had heard the Prefecture Master Du Yun say one thing to the Guest Manager Du Wen: Zhao Xing is my guest, take good care of him.

How could You Yitian not have the sense to let Zhao Xing exert himself?

"I wasn't beaten by other teammates, but I was beaten up by your mirror image, Brother Zhao. Hahaha, truly impressive," You Yitian laughed heartily.

Zhao Xing couldn't help but smile when he heard this; anyone who dared to call You Yitian stupid, he would be the first to disagree.

The matter had already happened; blaming or getting angry were both inferior choices. It was better to show some character and praise himself a bit to close the distance.

You Yitian was truly a person of great wisdom hidden behind a foolish appearance!

"As long as Brother You doesn't blame me, that's good."

"How could I?" You Yitian waved his hand dismissively, then suddenly whispered telepathically: "Brother Zhao, you're a Demonization-school Si Nong, right? Don't worry, I'll issue a gag order; you don't need to worry."

"I..." Zhao Xing opened his mouth, ultimately deciding not to explain anything, just bowing to express his gratitude.

He couldn't shake the 'madman' label; the impression left by the mutated mushrooms was too strong, and You Yitian wasn't wrong to say that.

"A true Demonization-school practitioner has their consciousness merge with their plant troop types, with the master-servant relationship reversed, serving the plant life with their own body—that is true madness," Zhao Xing thought.

After finishing off Zhao Xing's mirror image, the path of the third stage also came to an end.

An ancient academy appeared before everyone's eyes.

It was built against a mountain, surrounded by water, with exotic flowers and rare herbs standing all around, and birds and beasts appearing and disappearing in the sky and on the ground.

"Clatter~"

When they reached a large river, the water arched up, and a Divine Fire Turtle emerged.

It spoke in human language: "You have all passed the trials left by the Master and may enter the Dao Academy to seek opportunities."

"Jump onto my back, and I will carry you across the Heavy Water River."

The Divine Fire Turtle's gaze swept over everyone, and You Yitian felt a chill in his heart.

This was a Divine Fire Great Turtle; neither the scholars nor the Mechanists could see through it.

They had no idea if it was a Book Puppet or a living monster race.

"Should we cross?" You Yitian asked for everyone's opinion in the team.

"The Divine Fire Turtle is a national treasure of the Wu Yue Luo Ancient Kingdom and an auspicious beast; there shouldn't be any trials here."

"Indeed, out of respect for a national treasure, they wouldn't use its image to cause trouble."

Du Qing and Peng Yuan gave their opinions.

"Then we cross."

Zhao Xing had seen this great turtle in his previous life; it was later tamed and still received tourists for visits at the Heavy Water River.

At this moment, his interface played a role, because this was a living creature, not a spell, so the interface's detection revealed information.

【Divine Fire Turtle】

【Life-Death Dao Domain Realm】

【Age: 993 Eras】

【Remaining Lifespan: 7 Eras】

【Innate Great Divine Ability: Thousand Era Turtle Origin】

【Innate Great Divine Ability: Divine Fire Escape Boundary】

"It's lived for nearly a thousand eras," Zhao Xing sighed in his heart. "The lifespan of the Turtle race is truly long."

The human race's Origin Realm, the Third Realm's maximum lifespan is only 3 eras, and they usually don't live that long.

The Dao Domain Realm, contemplating the Great Dao of Life and Death, normally only lives for 10 eras, with a maximum of about 20 eras.

The maximum lifespan of each life in the Reincarnation Realm is 100 eras, but they can be reincarnated, so it's considered a form of disguised immortality. However, the reincarnation process is full of variables and not every attempt succeeds.

It is rumored that only the Divine Realm can achieve true immortality.

This Divine Fire Turtle of the Life-Death Realm, because of its innate Great Divine Ability, can live for a thousand eras, an advantage the human race cannot compare to.

However, it is also nearing the limit of its life; in another 7 eras, it will reach the end of its life.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

Everyone jumped up one by one. When it was Zhao Xing's turn, the Divine Fire Turtle took an extra look at him.

Master Zhao felt a bit guilty.

However, he had guessed wrong; it was purely because he was currently practicing the Divine Fire Turtle Transformation, which was in a transformation state, that it took an extra look.

It thought Zhao Xing was a human-turtle hybrid, which is why it took an extra look.

"Clatter~~"

Heavy water is difficult to traverse, with drops like stars, but the old turtle swam easily and quickly.

It erected a barrier, wrapping everyone inside so they wouldn't be affected by the Heavy Water River.

The scholar Du Qing tried to build a connection: "Lord Divine Fire Turtle, do you have any guidance for us?"

Du Qing was just like a player looking for a quest, refusing to let go of any detail.

"None," the Divine Fire Turtle said. "You are all subjects of the Wu Yue Luo Kingdom; you may seek an opportunity on your own."

So Du Qing and Peng Yuan had to give up.

The journey was silent.

Half a day later, they were almost at the opposite shore.

Just as they were about to land, Zhao Xing's brow suddenly twitched, because the Divine Fire Turtle had suddenly sent him a telepathic message!

"Are you a congenital human body, or a congenital turtle body?"

Zhao Xing, who had been startled, immediately relaxed slightly: "Reporting to Senior, I have a congenital turtle body."

"It is not easy for the Turtle race to take human form. Have you cultivated the Si Nong Great Dao and are you a Si Nong official in the Ancient Kingdom?"

"Senior has keen eyes; I am indeed a Si Nong official."

"The Master left a 'Spirit Boundary' in the back mountain, which contains a 【Thousand Illusion Tree】 of Imperial-grade quality. You may go there and see if you can gain its recognition. Whether you succeed or not depends on your fate."

"If you succeed, please bring it to me to see."

Zhao Xing was stunned; he had never heard of this.

"Senior, is the 【Thousand Illusion Tree】 from the same period as you?"

"Yes, it is an old friend of mine. However, I do not know how it is doing now, because I am trapped here and cannot go to visit it."

"Thank you for telling me, Senior."

The river was crossed. Zhao Xing jumped onto the shore with the others and bowed to the Divine Fire Turtle.

The Divine Fire Turtle nodded silently and then sank into the river.

After the Divine Fire Turtle sank into the riverbed, Zhao Xing became excited: "An Imperial-grade quality Thousand Illusion Tree! Cultivating the Divine Turtle Transformation actually has such benefits?!"

"However, the Thousand Illusion Tree doesn't know how long it has lived; its lifespan shouldn't be as long as the old turtle's, and I don't know how it is now."

An Imperial-grade quality plant troop type, if grown naturally, can reach the Life-Death Dao Domain Realm, with a certain chance of reaching the Reincarnation Realm! An Emperor-grade quality one will definitely reach the Reincarnation Realm!

Zhao Xing had never heard of an Imperial-grade troop type here in his previous life; this was truly an unexpected joy!

"The scholar's family fortune is indeed deep; this is truly an unexpected joy."

"To be friends with the old turtle, the Thousand Illusion Tree absolutely cannot be in its seedling or growth stage. If I can take it away, I won't even have to raise it myself!"
