Chapter 421: Giant Yang Reborn, Master and Disciple Work Together to Break the Too Void
When Liu broke the breakthrough idea, Zhao Xing felt heartfelt admiration.
Heaven and earth are great, but they are just one thing in the Too Void!
The Too Void Grassman is an advanced version of the Giant Yang Grassman, and the characteristic of the Giant Yang Grassman is literally that it possesses the golden body characteristics of a Qi-sect martial artist.
Many Qi-sect martial artists will swallow teammates into their bodies to protect them. As an advanced version of the Too Void Grassman, its artistic conception goes further on this basis, more vast and boundless, all-encompassing, as if it were a boundless universe.
So Liu said: 'Too Void is formless, the body of Qi, its gathering and scattering are guest forms of change.'
It also logically inferred: the planet connected by the gray mist is very like the internal structure of the Too Void Grassman.
Further inferring that the second level Zhao Xing was breaking through, which contained countless mysteries, was actually a local manifestation inside the Too Void Grassman.
"Teacher is worthy of being the grassman technique master who was unrivaled in the Xuanhuang Realm period. He didn't really feel the situation inside the checkpoint, just listening and watching, thinking for three years, and actually realized many mysteries," Zhao Xing couldn't help but sigh.
"You don't need to flatter me. In the Origin realm period, I couldn't create a Great Divine Ability. Your Giant Yang Recovery is truly amazing," Liu Tianning smiled: "I am not as widely learned as you. Since being by Lord Qianhua's side these years, I have always been cultivating around the grassman technique."
"I also cultivated the Giant Yang Grassman technique. After you gave me this technique, I also yearned for the legendary Void Ancestor series of grassman techniques and have been searching for secret books about it. It's normal to know a little more."
Zhao Xing nodded. Old Liu was very focused. After entering the cosmic version, he still liked to cultivate the grassman technique.
In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, he also cultivated heart-spirit and soul divine abilities. Driving grassman clones was not a problem at all.
It was precisely because of Liu Tianning's breakthrough that the Great Zhou did not have few combatants at the Dao Domain realm, because Old Liu could be used as many Dao Domain realm experts.
"Alright, stop the small talk. Your cultivation time in the Primordial Realm is very precious. Concentrate your energy and try as soon as possible."
"Yes." Zhao Xing closed his eyes.
At the same time, inside the Too Void Grassman.
The Giant Yang clone began to swim constantly, recording every detail of the Too Void space.
"The gray mist full of vitality is dynamic, constantly flowing and changing."
"There are many stars floating in the mist, and each star corresponds to the essence of a certain life form."
"If you combine them and look at them in miniature..."
Zhao Xing's hands danced, using spiritual power to construct everything he saw in the space, and soon a miniature life thumbnail map appeared.
"Like the acupoints and meridians of the human body, the mist is like a combination of vitality and magic power."
After reorganization, Zhao Xing followed a unique perspective to look, and barely pieced together the three-dimensional internal map of the human body.
The reason for saying barely was because many places had stars in the wrong positions and could not be understood according to the rules of common acupoints corresponding to stars. In addition, the flow of gray mist was always interfering with Zhao Xing's deduction and calculation.
"With my current mental strength to calculate, I am afraid that even if my heart and spirit are exhausted, it will be difficult to exhaust it. There is no possibility of peeking into the mysteries of the Too Void Grassman internal by using the exhaustive method."
Even if he knew how to break the level, even if he guessed it, the calculation volume was too large, the workload was too large, and it was still difficult to see the hope of success.
Zuo Qiyu's checkpoint was born to make things difficult for people.
What Zhao Xing was facing now was the difficulty of a Reincarnation Emperor.
"Step by step, move the stars first."
After thinking for a while, the Giant Yang clone began to act.
"Big, big, big!"
The Giant Yang Grassman grew to a body size of five poles, and then began to move stars like a diligent bee.
Stars, including broken star debris, were transported by Zhao Xing to predetermined positions.
"Boom~"
Divine sense was suddenly eroded. The stars connected by the gray mist secretly matched the life meridians. They actually emitted consciousness like life instinct, shaking away Zhao Xing's divine sense.
"Did I do it right, or did I do it wrong?"
Zhao Xing's divine sense was almost shaken out of the Giant Yang Grassman's body.
Immediately after, he saw the stars shifting again under the impact of the gray mist, as if the castle he had piled up on the beach had been washed away by the gray mist ocean before he had time to admire it.
The stars that had been arranged with great difficulty became scattered sand again.
"Come again!"
Zhao Xing continued to transport. For the second time, just as he was about to move the stars to the designated position, the Giant Yang clone threw a part of the vines on its back toward multiple stars.
"Stem-Bucket Divine Ability, change!"
The ordinary vine immediately turned into the Void series, possessing the ability to shuttle through the void and extend its length.
The vine after the variant technique, which Zhao Xing named the Star-Locking Vine, fixed the stars.
The Star-Locking Vine seemed to become the second set of meridians between the stars, and a part of the mist turned and began to flow between the stars along the branches of the Star-Locking Vine.
"Did it succeed?"
The vine meridians resonated with the star trajectories, and Zhao Xing felt the world outside the cosmic space for the first time.
He saw Zuo Qiyu on the city wall of Primordial City, and also saw himself and Fairy Youling outside the city.
At the same time, he also seemed to see a huge shadow standing in the void turbulence of the Dao-Ancient layer.
The entire Primordial City seemed to become small.
"That is the shadow of the Too Void Grassman? It can actually reflect into the Dao-Ancient layer void, truly terrifying..."
The moment the thought was produced, the Five-Poison Emperor and Zuo Qiyu looked over.
"Did he succeed?" the Five-Poison Emperor asked in astonishment. This time he was truly shocked, so much so that he blurted out subconsciously: "Dog thing, did he really succeed?"
Zuo Qiyu looked at the Five-Poison Emperor with unkind eyes, snorted coldly, and slapped the Five-Poison Emperor away.
The observed scene shattered in one-third of an immeasurable time, as if it were just an illusion.
"Bang!"
The vine suddenly bloomed with golden flowers and then quickly burst.
The gray mist torrent impacted the stars of the week again, and the second attempt also ended in failure.
"Ignoring the gray mist and replacing it is unworkable," Zhao Xing thought thoughtfully. "I have no possibility of bypassing Zuo Qiyu's settings to replace it."
"These trajectories..."
The star debris suddenly trembled violently, dragging out light tails like the Milky Way in the gray mist.
Zhao Xing found that the arc of the star movement actually matched the spiritual energy operation and the flow of the Life Dao in the Giant Yang Grassman.
The parabola drawn by the three passing meteorites was like a ray of spiritual light cutting through the dark sky.
"Bang!" The vine continued to break, and the rebounding force pulled the Giant Yang clone apart, but Zhao Xing was happy instead.
"Hahahaha, Senior Zuo, your method, I, Zhao Xing, am determined to have it!"
"Scatter!"
Zhao Xing suddenly laughed loudly, letting the vine pull his Giant Yang clone into powder.
He ignited the cyan life fire at his fingertips, burned the foundation essence of the Giant Yang Grassman, wrapped all his divine sense, and took the initiative to jump into the gray mist torrent.
The burning grass debris turned into countless fireflies, illuminating the mist of the boundless night sky.
Zhao Xing's divine sense constantly split and gathered with the river.
The seemingly chaotic star debris began to flicker at a specific frequency, and a giant human meridian map composed of light points appeared in the gray mist.
When time turned to a certain moment, the entire boundless night sky seemed to be filled with all of Zhao Xing's intentions.
"Thump!"
A heartbeat seemed to come from the depths of the void, like thunder, as if some will that had been sleeping for billions of years was waking up.
Zhao Xing felt his consciousness pulled into a mysterious dimension, where he was simultaneously a tender sprout breaking through the soil and a withered leaf drifting toward the earth.
When the materials of the Giant Yang clone burned out, the universe was withered and gray, but he saw all the stars and the rotating gray nebulae.
"Boom!"
The second heartbeat, thunder roared, and the entire secret realm began to collapse.
Inside Primordial City, only a huge head was exposed, and the rest of the Too Void Grassman in the Dao-Ancient layer void opened its eyes.
Zhao Xing's illusory image appeared in the eyes, bowing to Zuo Qiyu from afar.
"Greetings, Senior."
The voice was very weak, but it was transmitted out.
The Five-Poison Emperor's head popped out of the dirt pit, looking at Zhao Xing's illusory image in the grassman's eyeball, and couldn't help but open his mouth: "Incredible, truly incredible... This is even stronger than the beast Zuo Qiyu took in back then."
Zuo Qiyu, standing on the city wall, flashed a complex look in his eyes, but he soon returned to calm.
"You passed."
Hum~~
Zuo Qiyu waved his hand, and Zhao Xing's divine sense instantly returned to his true self.
At the same time, his true self also suddenly disappeared from the Boundary-Swinging River and appeared in Primordial City.
The Five-Poison Emperor was kicked out of Primordial City.
"Really stingy, can't even look," Five-Poison cursed and left.
"Disappeared?"
Fairy Youling widened her eyes. She looked at Zhao Xing's true self and found that the other party was gone.
"Could it be that he passed?"
Inside Primordial City, under the head of the Too Void Grassman, Zuo Qiyu looked at Zhao Xing and went straight to the point.
"Which grassman technique do you want to learn?"
Zhao Xing bowed: "Whatever Teacher teaches, I will learn."
Zuo Qiyu sneered: "Really greedy."
Zhao Xing didn't speak, just lowered his head to receive instruction.
When chatting with a big shot like Zuo Qiyu, it's best to be direct.
Now Zhao Xing was expressing that he wanted to learn everything!
"Every time you learn one more of my grassman techniques, your soul will have to undergo a major tear."
"I might as well tell you, I have no hope of reaching the demigod realm in my life, precisely because my soul is incomplete. Anyone who has learned the Void Ancestor grassman technique, including that founder."
"Do you still want to learn now?"
Zhao Xing pondered: "Heaven's Dao has constants, and things grow and decline. Since Teacher is subject to the shackles of the underworld, the grassman technique must be unrivaled in the world. And I also believe that there should be a way to make up for it."
"There is no way to make up for it," Zuo Qiyu shook his head.
"Why is Senior so sure?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Because the Void Ancestor grassman technique was created by Senior Gu Tianyang."
"Gu Tianyang was a descendant of the Heavenly God Gu Xiao, and he had a younger brother named Gu Luohe."
"What?" Zhao Xing's heart jumped. He didn't expect such an origin here.
"Senior Gu Tianyang didn't solve this problem before the limit of his true spirit, and I didn't solve it after learning it. Your current teacher, Senior Gu Luohe, also studied it," Zuo Qiyu said. "From the moment you practice the Too Void Grassman until the Primordial Grassman, you will have to experience ninety-one tears in total."
"This kind of major soul tear cannot be made up for, and from the moment the Too Void Grassman is practiced, there is no way to make up for it."
"In other words, after learning this technique, the Reincarnation Emperor realm is the limit?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Yes," Zuo Qiyu nodded.
"Teacher, I have one thing I don't understand," Zhao Xing said, "The Void Ancestor upper three chapters have three types: Primordial, Reincarnation, and Origin. So the Void Ancestor grassman technique should also have three Daos. Why does Teacher only mention the Primordial Grassman?"
"Because before Senior Gu Tianyang fell, no one had learned the Origin Grassman and the Reincarnation Grassman. The entire Xuanling star region only inherited one of them."
"However, this is not important. Senior Gu Tianyang didn't solve this problem before he died, and the three methods are independent of each other and have no connection."
"As for what you said about being unrivaled in the world, that is true."
"This technique has absolute dominance over grassman spells."
"In front of me, no grassman can have any effect."
Zuo Qiyu waved his hand.
The next moment, all of Zhao Xing's grassman clones lost contact, including the grassmen far away in the Jia-Chen 14th Pass and the Beihe star system.
In Liu Tianning's Heart-Spirit Hall, Zhao Xing's intention also abruptly disappeared.
"Hum~"
All of Zhao Xing's split divine senses were instantly forced back into his true self by Zuo Qiyu.
"What?"
Zhao Xing was startled, because his grassman hadn't disintegrated, but the control had been taken over by Zuo Qiyu.
"As long as I am willing, within the Primordial Realm, or even the Empire, no one can condense a grassman body, and the grassman spell cannot progress even a fraction," Zuo Qiyu said with a calm tone, stating a terrifying fact.
He seemed to be standing at the end of the
He seemed to stand at the end of the Straw Man Dao, the entire Dao completely under his dominion, even capable of blocking practitioners of this path.
The technique approached the Dao; this ability of Zuo Qiyu was not a demigod, yet better than a demigod!
"I will learn." Zhao Xing did not hesitate.
As for not being able to break through to the Demigod Realm, that was a matter for later; furthermore, with his experience from the Xuanhuang World period, things that Gu and Zuo could not do, he might not necessarily fail at.
Paths are walked out by people; didn't Old Liu also go crazy back then? He still solved the drawbacks himself!
"Since you insist, then if something happens in the future, you cannot blame me." When Zuo Qiyu said this, his demeanor seemed to become cold.
"This student has no regrets."
Zhao Xing replied respectfully, but Zuo Qiyu still did not have a pleasant expression: "Although I teach you the technique, you must not tell outsiders that you are my disciple, and if something happens, you must not mention my name."
"I will only teach you for one thousand years; you do not need to call me teacher. If you are being respectful, call me Senior; if not, you may call me by my name directly."
It was not the second time Zhao Xing had heard such rhetoric, so he was not surprised, and quickly changed his words: "I will strictly follow Senior's instructions."
Afterward, he set a schedule with Zuo Qiyu for coming to ask for advice, then Zuo Qiyu waved his hand again, everything returned to normal, and Zhao Xing regained control of his clone.
Swish~
His true self was also moved out of the Boundary-Swinging River.
In his hand was a jade talisman with a dark golden straw man pattern on it; this was the foundation technique of the Grand Void Straw Man. Zhao Xing intended to return to the Huailiu Courtyard to contemplate it, but just as he was about to act, he was stopped.
"Zhao Xing~ Zhao Xing~"
"Who?"
Zhao Xing looked up and found himself appearing before the Five Poisons Emperor.
"Greetings, Senior Five Poisons."
"No need for formalities, no need." The wrinkles on Five Poisons's face bunched together, making his eyes invisible.
"I wonder why the Emperor has summoned me," Zhao Xing asked.
"Zhao Xing, did Zuo Qiyu take you as his disciple?" Five Poisons asked.
"No," Zhao Xing said with regret. "Senior only said he would teach me the technique, but I must not proclaim to the outside world that I am his disciple."
This was different from Gu Luohe; although Gu Luohe was entrusted by Old Qing, he at least maintained the superficial name of master and disciple, meaning Zhao Xing did not need to deliberately remove the label of being Gu Luohe's disciple.
Zuo Qiyu was very cold and heartless, simply not doing even the superficial work.
"That's great!" the Five Poisons Emperor muttered.
"What did Senior say?"
"Uh, I meant it's a pity," the Five Poisons Emperor feigned regret. "However, you don't need to blame Zuo Qiyu for being cold. Back then, he took a disciple..."
"Senior, should I not be knowing this?" Zhao Xing interrupted.
"It doesn't matter, many people know, they just don't dare to mention it," the Five Poisons Emperor said indifferently. "Back then, he had a disciple who inherited the Primordial Straw Man Method and eventually reached the level of a Reincarnation Emperor. But in the end, this beast betrayed him."
"It was after that time that Zuo Qiyu stopped taking disciples; even this teaching of the technique was just to fulfill the rules set by the Great Emperor and Senior Gu."
Zhao Xing nodded; these past events mentioned by Five Poisons were also the reason for the current craze of challenging the pass.
"However, most people know the 'what' but not the 'why'," the Five Poisons Emperor said slowly. "For example, why Zuo Qiyu was betrayed by his disciple, and why he doesn't even teach the technique..."
"Senior, why did you stop?" Zhao Xing was listening intently, but the Five Poisons Emperor had stopped.
"Hahaha, we shall discuss this later; there is another major matter to speak of first," the Five Poisons Emperor said.
"Senior, please speak."
"Zhao Xing, I know that although Senior Gu Luohe took you as a disciple, it was only for some unspeakable reasons, right?"
Zhao Xing tacitly agreed.
The Five Poisons Emperor's eyes rolled: "Exactly, this matter should have been me taking you. Who could have imagined that the old beast would intervene and make Senior Gu unhappy... Zhao Xing, look, you are actually equivalent to having no master right now, aren't you?"
Zhao Xing remembered Liu Tianning and shook his head: "I have one."
The Five Poisons Emperor's beard twitched; why was this kid so dense?
Gu Luohe and Zuo Qiyu, do they count as masters?
However, Zhao Xing's value had risen too much, and the Five Poisons Emperor could not care about his pride anymore, so he said: "Zhao Xing, I think you should just take me as your master."
"I, the Five Poisons Emperor, am definitely not cold like them."
"I might as well tell you a little secret first—only a few people in the Empire know this—in the Siyue Wasteland in the northwest of the Empire, it is about to..."
To this, Zhao Xing expressed little interest; the Empire's development of the Great Northwest was no longer a secret.
Was the Five Poisons Emperor trying to coax a child?
"Senior, in name, I am still Senior Gu's disciple; it would not be appropriate to take you as master as well," Zhao Xing politely declined.
The Five Poisons Emperor became anxious: "In the future, you might have a life-and-death battle with Zuo Qiyu; who knows, your teacher here might even be able to help you. Don't be ungrateful, kid!"
Zhao Xing had not taken it to heart, but at these words from the Five Poisons Emperor, he immediately perked up: "Senior, what do you mean by that?"
The Five Poisons Emperor said: "Will you take me as master or not?"
"Teacher." Zhao Xing immediately knelt down to take him as his master.
The Five Poisons Emperor's face was also face; since he had said it once and then twice, he could not refuse again.
Furthermore, Gu Luohe could certainly hear them, and he had not forbidden him from finding another backer; since the Five Poisons Emperor was already like this, it would be excessive for Zhao Xing to keep playing hard to get.
"Teacher is above, please accept this disciple's kowtow."
"Good, good, good." The Five Poisons Emperor beamed with joy and helped Zhao Xing up. "Good disciple, get up quickly."
"Can you tell me now?" Zhao Xing asked. "Why did you say just now that I would have a life-and-death battle with Senior Zuo?"
The Five Poisons Emperor looked left and right, then whispered via sound transmission: "The Primordial Straw Man Method cannot break through to the Demigod Realm; Zuo Qiyu must have told you this."
Zhao Xing nodded; soul defects, an old problem.
"Actually, this contains a secret. Back then, Zuo Qiyu's disciple also reached the Reincarnation Emperor level. The reason he betrayed him was because that disciple found an ancient book by the founder, Gu Tianyang. It is said that only by killing another Primordial Straw Man and devouring its true spirit is it possible to make up for this drawback."
"And because of this, Zuo Qiyu's disciple ambushed him one day."
"What?" Zhao Xing was stunned.
There was actually such a thing?
"Teacher, you aren't joking, are you?"
The Five Poisons Emperor said seriously: "How could I be joking? Zuo Qiyu stands at the end of the Straw Man Dao; where he is, no one's straw man technique can surpass his, and they must be controlled and dominated by him."
"In the struggle for the Dao, when you encounter obstacles on the path ahead, you either avoid them, step over them, or become them."
"His disciple wasn't crazy; if it weren't for the sake of Dao cultivation, why would he do such a thing? Heh, who knows, there might actually be some possibility!"
