Chapter 420: Giant Yang Reborn, Master and Disciple Work Together to Break the Too Void

Gray gas drifted through the entire cosmic space, ever-changing. Sometimes it drifted past the eyes like silk or threads, sometimes it rushed past planets like a great river, vast and mighty.

The planet was blood-red, contracting and expanding, as if it were breathing.

Between breaths, gray mist rushed to the land beneath Zhao Xing's feet.

The land then began to rhythmically expand.

The checkpoint left by Zuo Qiyu, while offering a glimmer of hope for passing, was also extremely difficult.

The checkpoint itself was very abstract!

There was no knowing where to break through, no knowing where to leave, and no knowing what to complete.

It was as if a painter was painting, and suddenly heaven dropped a bucket of oil paint, spilling it on the drawing board, making a mess.

And then it told you this was a masterpiece, and if you understood it, you could become a top-tier painter.

"Calm down, observe carefully."

Zhao Xing kept telling himself.

However, he didn't need self-suggestion; he was already calm.

Because the excitement of finding the checkpoint was soon covered by the despair of high difficulty, and even the thought of wanting to give up immediately arose.

"Might as well give up, I've already wasted too much effort... Wait, how can I think like this?!"

Zhao Xing was horrified, and then he found that a wisp of gray mist had penetrated his Giant Yang clone.

"Swish, swish~"

The Giant Yang clone moved rapidly to dodge the invasion of the gray mist.

Between movements, Zhao Xing felt that not only did he not dodge it, but his Dao heart was stained with more dust, and the thought of decadence became more and more serious.

Within three immeasurable times, he stopped moving and was completely immersed in the gray mist.

The mist was warm, like a soft goose-down quilt, covering the Giant Yang clone.

The Giant Yang clone lay on the ground, and Zhao Xing's true self also lay down on the reef.

All the clones outside seemed to be affected by this emotion.

Even the clones far away in the Fengdu Boundary Star of the Beihe star system and the Jia-Chen 14th Pass were affected.

"... fter the Annihilation Star Corridor, the Great Zhou adjusted its expansion strategy. I sent a clone from Lord Qianhua to guard this place, temporarily shouldering new development affairs. What's wrong with you?" Liu Tianning's clone was talking to Zhao Xing when Zhao Xing suddenly lay down.

"Is something wrong?" Liu Tianning leaned forward and asked.

However, Zhao Xing did not answer, his body only becoming more relaxed.

So relaxed that even this clone seemed unable to maintain itself, and the 'meridians' on his arms automatically dissipated. This was a sign of the grassman clone disintegrating.

"Zhao Xing." Liu Tianning immediately grabbed Zhao Xing's arm. The willow branches on his hand unraveled like silk, then rotated and spread to Zhao Xing's arm.

"Seal Spirit Lock Intent! Cocoon Rebirth!"

Liu Tianning used two divine abilities simultaneously. With a ripple on his body, he finally stabilized Zhao Xing's body.

But his arm was connected to Zhao Xing's arm, like a conjoined twin.

"Teacher, I'm so sleepy..." Zhao Xing said with difficulty.

"What happened to you!" Liu Tianning's expression was extremely serious. He was already at the Yin-Yang Dao Domain realm, possessed the Heart-Spirit Great Divine Ability, and his attainments in the grassman technique were praised even by Lord Qianhua, yet he still didn't know what had happened to Zhao Xing's Giant Yang clone.

"Hum~"

Liu Tianning used all his strength to cast the spell, and his magic power surged between the two.

After reaching the Dao Domain realm, the combination of spiritual power and spells gives birth to magic power, possessing the ability to turn decay into magic.

And the Giant Yang Grassman technique Zhao Xing knew had not been kept secret; it had been shared with Liu Tianning a long time ago.

So he also knew the Giant Yang Grassman technique and was very familiar with the structure of the Giant Yang Grassman.

"Zhao Xing~ Zhao Xing~"

"Wake up~"

By the Boundary-Swinging River, Zhao Xing's true self opened his eyes again, and suddenly two perspectives appeared.

One perspective came from the Giant Yang clone breaking through in Primordial City.

The other perspective appeared in a magnificent hall, where Liu Tianning was looking at him with a slight frown.

The one calling his name was Liu Tianning.

"Teacher? You, I am..." Zhao Xing was somewhat confused.

"This is my Great Divine Ability 【Heart-Spirit Hall】, which can pull your consciousness into the same heart-spirit space and sense everything happening to you in real-time," Liu Tianning explained, then said: "I see your true self sitting by a river, and a clone seems to be in the mist. What happened?"

"Great Divine Ability, Heart-Spirit Hall?" Zhao Xing was somewhat shocked, "Teacher, what level have you reached? You can actually influence me across such a long distance through a clone."

"It's already perfect," Liu Tianning said. "It's truly strange. I can see your true self's perspective, but I can't see the clone clearly. It's just a patch of gray mist, seemingly blocked by some power. Are you in the Primordial Realm? Are you safe?"

Heart-Spirit Great Divine Ability perfect? No wonder!

The Great Divine Ability contained in his Giant Yang clone was Rice Grain Heaven-Mixing Art and Five Finger Mountain, while Liu Tianning's was Heart-Spirit Hall. Precisely because they were of the same root and very familiar, they could quickly establish a connection.

Zhao Xing soon realized what had happened and reported his safety: "Teacher, I am fine. I am participating in a trial in the Primordial Realm. If I can pass, I can learn a rare grassman technique."

"It's just that the test set by that senior is too harsh."

Liu Tianning breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "So that's it. I thought you had fallen into some trap. It's good that you're fine."

"The difficulty of this level is very high. I'm afraid I can't break through," Zhao Xing sighed.

Until now, he had been affected by the Too Void Illusion and couldn't lift his spirits at all.

Liu Tianning noticed Zhao Xing's sudden decadence and shouted: "How can you have such thoughts? Cheer up!"

"You've spent a thousand years trying, and you've finally reached the last step. How can you easily talk about giving up!"

"Where did that spirit you had when you asked me to abdicate go?"

Seeing Old Liu bring up the past, Zhao Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly and agree.

"Teacher is right. Please don't dispel the Heart-Spirit Hall, and keep urging me."

"I'm afraid that senior won't like it."

"No," Zhao Xing shook his head. "The checkpoint set by Senior Zuo doesn't fear others pointing things out from the side."

The real Too Void Pass is only theoretically passable at the Origin realm. How could Zuo Qiyu fear others pointing things out?

He let the clone come to break through, which was giving people a chance. Zhao Xing's true self could contemplate in various treasure lands of the Primordial Realm while letting the clone break through. Because the difficulty of this level itself was there, he was just that confident.

Before the Boundary-Swinging River, Zhao Xing's true self stood up again and took a deep breath.

"The Too Void Pass set by Zuo Qiyu, I have already experienced one of the difficulties, which is the illusion. An illusion that can make people sink."

"Illusions generally test mental willpower and soul strength, both of which are the foundation for driving grassman clones."

"My soul level now, after a thousand years of cultivation, is at the Five Elements Dao Domain realm level. In terms of mental willpower, the two divine abilities, Killing Thought Blade and Heart-Spirit Bell, are both perfect, but I haven't comprehended a Great Divine Ability."

"Facing Zuo Qiyu's test, it's still not enough."

"However, fortunately, I have been prepared for a long time."

Swish~ Zhao Xing's true self flipped his hand, and a large number of purple pills appeared in front of him.

"Soul Spirit Pill!"

"This pill costs 10, 00 points each. Even Dao Domain realm experts have the effect of strengthening the soul."

"It doesn't have an effect until the Reincarnation realm. The treasure generally taken by Reincarnation realm experts is the 'True Spirit Fruit'."

"In the first 1, 00 years, I have a record of taking 500 pills. There are 500 more here, which is also the limit quantity," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"Originally, I should have taken them step by step. According to the 2, 00-year time plan, the medicinal effect would be maximized without side effects. But now, I can't care about that anymore!"

At this time, a figure passing by the Boundary-Swinging River saw Zhao Xing suddenly take out 500 Soul Spirit Pills and couldn't help but be stunned, subconsciously saying: "Zhao Xing, you're crazy, you want to eat 500 Soul Spirit Pills in one breath?"

Zhao Xing turned his head and found that the person speaking was Fairy Youling, so he grinned and said: "Walking the Self-School, how can you not be crazy!"

"I'll eat!"

His bloody mouth opened, and he swallowed 500 pills in one breath.

"Hey, you—"

Fairy Youling wanted to say something, but Zhao Xing had already swallowed them in one breath.

She looked at the distant Primordial City, and couldn't help but feel curious in her heart: "This guy is so crazy, could it be that Zuo Qiyu's checkpoint really has a possibility of passing?"

Fairy Youling also curiously sent out a large number of clones to fly toward Primordial City, and at the same time transmitted to Zhao Xing: "Zhao Xing, did you discover something? Why don't you tell me about it?"

"If the Fairy is willing to teach me the Mysterious Spirit Borrowing Seed Method. If you are willing, I will tell you." Zhao Xing was affected by the Too Void Illusion, as if an ordinary person had suddenly developed depression. Having someone to talk to and tease was good.

"Oh?" Fairy Youling became interested, "That's fine, you say it first."

"You teach first."

"You say it first."

"You first... Forget it, pretend I didn't say anything."

Zhao Xing didn't waste any more words. The Mysterious Spirit Borrowing Seed Method was a sect secret, and Fairy Youling probably wouldn't hand it over so easily.

Unexpectedly, Fairy Youling actually walked over: "I will pass you a part of the foundation method first. If you have talent, you can go to the Three Treasures Dao Sect in the future."

"Fairy, don't tease me. I was just joking. Even if the Fairy is willing to teach, I can't learn it. It doesn't meet the rules of your sect."

"What's wrong with that?" Fairy Youling said: "Go to the Three Treasures Dao Sect, pretend to be my Dao companion, and you will meet the conditions."

Zhao Xing, who was digesting the Soul Spirit Pills, was stunned: "Fairy, you, you are serious?"

"Serious," Fairy Youling blinked.

"I can't tell you," Zhao Xing shook his head.

"You're teasing me?" Fairy Youling was a bit angry.

"Just teasing you."

"..."

Fairy Youling also noticed that Zhao Xing's situation was wrong. Over the thousand years, she and Zhao Xing, Han Chuchen, and others had had a lot of contact, and Zhao Xing was not like this usually.

"If you don't say it, I'll try it myself!"

Fairy Youling stopped talking and sent a large number of clones toward the Boundary-Swinging River.

Zhao Xing, on the other hand, focused on digesting the Soul Spirit Pills.

At this time, in his sea of consciousness, the three souls of heaven, earth, and man stood on the high mountain, constantly growing.

In the blink of an eye, the soul aura reached the level of the Yin-Yang Dao Domain realm!

The heaven soul's forehead appeared with a sun mark, and the earth soul's forehead appeared with a Taiyin mark.

"1, 00 Soul Spirit Pills, originally hoping to raise the soul level to the Life-Death Dao Domain realm, now taking them all at once, it can only reach the Yin-Yang Dao Domain realm."

"The benefits of the Primordial Realm were exhausted by me. However, there are many ways to upgrade the soul, but Zuo Qiyu's grassman technique is not easy to learn. It's worth it!"

Zhao Xing's soul body produced a lot of swelling at this time, as if an ordinary person had grown acne. These were the sequelae of taking Soul Spirit Pills in one breath.

Originally, Zhao Xing's aura was handsome, but now it looked like an ugly man with foul-smelling pus.

In addition, he would endure the itching and pain from the soul until the sequelae disappeared.

However, the benefits were also obvious. Zhao Xing felt that he was suddenly terrifyingly strong, and soon got rid of the influence of the Too Void Illusion.

"Whoo~"

Zhao Xing's true self let out a long breath.

On Primordial City, Zuo Qiyu stood on the city wall and watched from afar, and the Five-Poison Emperor also appeared beside him.

"This kid is really ruthless. In order to learn your technique, he actually destroyed his soul appearance. Originally, with his talent, relying on 1, 00 Soul Spirit Pills, he could have raised his soul directly to the Life-Death Dao Domain realm level and suffered less."

Zuo Qiyu ignored Five-Poison.

"Still angry?" Five-Poison Emperor looked carefully, "I was wrong, okay? I repent to the great supreme Primordial Envoy, count it as my mouth being cheap..."

"Enough, what do you mean by counting it as your mouth being cheap?" Zuo Qiyu withdrew his gaze from Zhao Xing and rolled his eyes at Five-Poison. "You are inherently cheap!"

"Thank you for the praise, Envoy." Five-Poison smiled with a thick skin.

"Get lost!"

The Giant Yang clone struggled out of the gray mist, but didn't completely struggle out.

Zhao Xing found that although he was not affected by the illusion and became autistic, the gray mist still affected him.

It's just that this time, it became affecting the grassman body.

"Something's wrong, why am I expanding!"

Zhao Xing watched as the gray mist like silk and threads passed through, and then his body began to expand involuntarily like blowing up a balloon.

"Treasure Mountain Divine Ability!"

Zhao Xing performed Wu Tian's divine ability, wanting to control his body size.

However, his body still expanded, soon exceeding five poles.

And it was still expanding at an astonishing speed.

As if the gray mist was some kind of nutrient, nourishing the Giant Yang clone, it couldn't be controlled at all!

"My Giant Yang Grassman's limit body size is seven poles. If it expands further, I will explode!"

"Rice Grain Heaven-Mixing Art, small, small, small!"

Zhao Xing immediately switched and performed the second divine ability.

Rice Grain Heaven-Mixing Art is a Great Divine Ability.

It can shrink the body size, making the physical body extremely hard.

Making the physical body become indestructible particles, crashing through everything.

Usually, if the Rice Grain Heaven-Mixing Art is cultivated to the third level, it can become the size of an ordinary person's thumb.

Four to six levels, it can become a rice grain.

If cultivated to perfection, it is a true particle form, completely undetectable, claiming to be able to break through all defenses, drill into Dao soldiers or enemy bodies to cause damage, or become larger again to directly burst the enemy.

"Small, small, small!!"

Because of the uniqueness of the Giant Yang clone, the Rice Grain Heaven-Mixing Art, the true self wouldn't perform it, but the Giant Yang clone would, and it was already at the fourth level of Great Divine Ability.

Instantly, the body size was reduced to below one pole.

But under the catalysis of the gray mist, it soon changed to a body size above three poles, rushing toward the limit.

The tug-of-war between sizes made Zhao Xing's mood very bad.

"The power of expansion exceeds my spell limit. In half a year at most, I won't be able to hold on."

"Zuo Qiyu, learning something from you is really damn hard."

Zhao Xing couldn't help but want to curse.

Cursing aside, the checkpoint still had to be broken.

Zhao Xing thought quickly about countermeasures, began to sort out what he had learned, and looked for ways to counter it.

"I can only fight it. I don't know if that move can be performed on the clone. My success rate is only 30%."

Zhao Xing had already walked to four cultivation sites in the Ancient Luo River's internal world.

The first site was an Emperor-level tough vine.

The second site was a ten-thousand-year willow tree.

The third site was a Reincarnation realm weed.

The fourth site was an Emperor-level green bamboo.

"The Ancient Luo River once said that I stepped on the cultivation path of the Life Dao and took the first step of the Dao realm."

"Every three cultivation sites count as taking one step. The first step is 【Life Essence】. My Stem-Bucket Divine Ability is enough to shake the life essence, making my variant techniques and world laws fully strengthened."

"Now taking the second step, what I comprehend is 【Life Recovery】. The realm of the Dao, applied to spells, grassman techniques, world laws, parasitic techniques, divine brilliance techniques, etc., will all benefit."

"However, I haven't comprehended the second step of the Life Dao, and Life Recovery applied to the grassman only has a 30% success rate."

At this time, wanting to make a breakthrough was too late.

Zhao Xing could only fight with all his might.

Half a year later.

"Poof~"

The Giant Yang Grassman exploded in rapid expansion.

Just as expected, in the tug-of-war of size changes, Zhao Xing's Giant Yang Grassman still couldn't hold on.

Zuo Qiyu's voice appeared in the vast void.

"Zhao Xing, you failed."

"Wait a minute, Senior!" Zhao Xing stood up abruptly. "I haven't failed yet!"

"Oh?" Zuo Qiyu looked at the remains of Zhao Xing's grassman on the ground. "Could it be that you haven't gotten rid of the influence of the Too Void Illusion, and can't see that your grassman has already exploded?"

Zhao Xing transmitted his voice from afar: "Senior, my consciousness within the clone hasn't dissipated. It was I who took the initiative to dissipate it just now. Please wait patiently, Senior."

Zuo Qiyu's heart moved, and he looked at the grassman remains on the ground again.

Then a strange color flashed in his eyes.

He saw that a part of the exploded grassman remains had slanted into the soil, and a touch of green emerged from the branches, soon drawing out a tender leaf.

"Scattered grass replanted, repeating in cycles... So he comprehended the second true meaning of the Life Dao, Life Recovery," the Five-Poison Emperor also looked at the grassman remains below.

"Genius, genius, Zuo brother, this kid has quite your demeanor back then."

Comprehending the Dao is one thing, and spells are another. Being able to apply the comprehended Dao to the learned spells is truly commendable.

The Five-Poison Emperor had seen many geniuses, but Zhao Xing's aptitude truly amazed him.

Even if Zhao Xing was a reincarnated soul, in Five-Poison's view, it was amazing, not to mention that he didn't think Zhao Xing was a reincarnated soul.

"Being able to create a Great Divine Ability, Zhao Xing's genius level is already close to Du Yun among martial artists. Although he is still very immature, brother, just pass it on." Five-Poison persuaded.

"If you talk nonsense again, get out of Primordial City." Zuo Qiyu looked at Five-Poison.

"Fine, I won't say it, I'll shut up." Five-Poison covered his mouth with his hand.

Zhao Xing saw that Zuo Qiyu didn't end the breakthrough, and his heart breathed a sigh of relief.

At the moment when his spirit reached its peak, he finally didn't let himself down. He successfully performed 【Giant Yang Recovery】, a self-created Great Divine Ability that applied Life Recovery to the Giant Yang Grassman.

Making his Giant Yang Grassman's foundation materials explode around according to his predetermined trajectory.

At this time, a part of his divine sense was deposited on a 'left rib', which was a 'Soul Mulberry Wood'.

The existence of gray mist accelerated the growth.

A month later, Zhao Xing found that many materials had regained vitality and already possessed the spell foundation for the Giant Yang Grassman to be reborn.

"Giant Yang Reborn, rise!!"

The Soul Mulberry Wood flew up from the ground, floating in the air.

The forest underground shook, flowers and leaves flew, turning into a torrent of materials gathering toward the Soul Mulberry Wood in the sky.

Another month and a half later, the Giant Yang Grassman reappeared, and its vitality was even more majestic!

"Up to this point, the growth-type expansion brought by the gray mist is no longer a difficulty for me," Zhao Xing was full of confidence now.

Because he had experienced such a critical moment of Giant Yang Recovery, his panel showed that the proficiency of this move was rising.

It had reached the third level of Great Divine Ability. If it were only the first level, from such a long distance, there was a possibility of failure.

But entering the third level of Great Divine Ability, there was no possibility of failure; it was truly an entry.

Seeing Zhao Xing's Giant Yang Grassman reappear, Zuo Qiyu's voice sounded again.

"The final test of the Too Void Pass is very simple."

"If your clone or divine sense can walk out of this world, you pass."

Zuo Qiyu's voice was very calm, as if he was sure Zhao Xing couldn't pass.

Zhao Xing bowed his hands.

"Thank you for the guidance, Senior!"

After speaking, he began to think seriously.

"Clone or divine sense can walk out? But this world looks like an infinite universe, how can I get out?"

Zhao Xing scanned the surroundings and found that the current scene was no different from the real universe starry sky.

He performed soul heavenly vision and couldn't see the end of the world at all.

The Giant Yang Grassman left the land and flew outward, but after flying 100 million miles, Zhao Xing didn't see any barrier.

The endless void, vast and empty, seemed to trap Zhao Xing here.

"Can't fly anymore. My Giant Yang clone leaves that land shrouded in gray mist, without spiritual power support, it will sooner or later fall apart."

The cold, spiritual energy-less void made Zhao Xing think of the Wasteland. But here it was more desolate than the Wasteland, and he couldn't absorb any spiritual energy at all.

"Go back!"

Zhao Xing fell back onto the gray land.

Time passed slowly, and after thinking for thirty years.

"Still no clue." In the Heart-Spirit Hall, Zhao Xing shook his head. "Teacher, I always feel that Zuo Qiyu is deliberately making things difficult."

"You can remove the feeling; he is making things difficult," Liu Tianning smiled. "Wanting to learn someone's technique, where is it so simple? There is no free lunch in the universe."

"Countless geniuses have not obtained his grassman technique, so it is naturally difficult. If there is no difficulty, how can it be your turn?"

"Don't think about the difficulties, think about the solutions," Liu Tianning said. "Analyze the difficulties and then solve them. Come, tell me what you have seen in these thirty years."

Zhao Xing nodded and transmitted what he had seen to the Heart-Spirit Hall for Liu Tianning to watch.

Liu Tianning also closed his eyes and said nothing.

Until three years later, he suddenly opened his mouth.

"Heaven and earth are great, but they are just one thing in the Too Void."

Zhao Xing suddenly looked up: "Teacher, what did you say?"

"Too Void is formless, the body of Qi, its gathering and scattering are guest forms of change."

Liu said a sentence, and then opened his eyes: "What I just said is my understanding of the legendary Too Void Grassman... Zhao Xing, I feel that you are not in a world now."

Zhao Xing's heart moved: "Teacher, you mean..."

"Yes," Liu Tianning affirmed: "Your clone is inside the Too Void Grassman."

"When you entered Primordial City, you were swallowed by black light, which means you were swallowed into the belly of the Too Void Grassman."

Zhao Xing suddenly realized: "Too Void Pass, so this is the real Too Void Pass, I understand."

"Teacher, this level of Zuo Qiyu is actually wanting me to manipulate that Too Void Grassman that exists in Primordial City, right?"

"Eight or nine out of ten. Zuo Qiyu said that your divine sense leaving and body leaving both count as passing," Liu Tianning smiled. "Then, manipulating the Too Void Grassman naturally counts as a method. No, it should be the only method!"

"I see that the planet connected by the gray mist is very like the meridian structure of the human body, but it is scattered. You might as well start from here."
