Chapter 435: Oh No, It's Coming for My Disciple!

Taoyang Star Land, Central Extreme Hall.

The main officials of the Profound Mechanism Division, Earth-Passage Division, Medical Division, Martial Division, Boundary Transport Division, etc., met again to discuss.

Since Zhao Xing came here more than half a year ago, there had been constant small meetings, but this was only the second large meeting.

Although there were many heads and brains sitting there, there were only four people who really made decisions: Sea-Passage Envoy Zhao Xing, Earth-Passage Division Supervisor Qiu Zishan, Profound Mechanism Division Supervisor Gu Ming, and Martial Division Garrison Envoy Zhou Ze.

"Now I want to carry out a temporary personnel transfer. The list is as follows. If anyone has an opinion, you can bring it up."

Zhao Xing transmitted the list to the heads of each division through the star mirror.

After waiting for a while, no one spoke.

Just kidding, Bi Gang, who raised an objection last time, was immediately swallowed by the Grand Void Grass Man and, after being locked up for a few days, was punished to go carry the corner peaks of the Boundary Mountain.

Who else dared to object?

Zhao Xing scanned the expressions of the people in the hall and immediately understood that the pressure had been too great during this period.

Actually, he didn't do anything; he just raised the work intensity a bit—using other professions as warriors, and warriors as livestock.

Anyone who dares to object gets locked in the Grand Void Grass Man's little black room.

The world's impression of the True Self School Sinuong was polarized. Like Sinuong like Yuan Qiusheng, everyone loved them to death, while combat-type Sinuong were usually regarded as perverts.

He claimed to be the Primordial Saint Son. Insiders naturally felt it was a compliment, but in the eyes of outsiders, wouldn't it be a "perverted Saint Son"?

"Need to change the impression; everyone being afraid of me is not a good thing either," Zhao Xing thought secretly.

"Lord Qiu, although I practice 【Extreme Land】, I am not as familiar with the personnel of the Earth-Passage Division as you. Is this transfer list appropriate now?"

"Uncle-Master, it is completely appropriate," Qiu Zishan nodded honestly. After getting along for more than half a year, he had been completely convinced by Zhao Xing.

In terms of seniority, he was Taoyangzi's disciple, Taoyang was Emperor Hongshan's disciple, and Zhao Xing was personally introduced by Emperor Hongshan, so he simply called Zhao Xing Uncle-Master directly.

"Good," Zhao Xing smiled and nodded.

Qiu Zishan was still too honest. Asking him like this was clearly to let him take the lead and bring up problems in work.

But Qiu Zishan just couldn't grasp the spirit.

It seems that this kind of fine work still has to rely on Gu Ming.

"Lord Gu, what do you think?"

Gu Ming thought for a while and first affirmed Zhao Xing's move of personnel transfer: "In the current Taoyang Star Land, many departments are not full. The adult wants to make personnel transfers, one is to improve efficiency, and the other is to facilitate the statistics of merit afterward."

"Someone cannot be doing the work of a main official but only receiving the merit of a deputy official."

Look, Gu Ming's brain is good; he immediately grasped the leader's spirit.

"After the Folded Boundary Mountain abnormal phenomenon occurred, a part of the Taoyang base personnel were transferred to the First Base, with the majority being people from the Martial, Medical, and Engineering paths."

"Another part was trapped in the Folded Boundary Mountain. Although there are few people, many are main and deputy officials of various divisions."

"Two dispatches of people, one happened after the accident at the Fourth Boundary Mountain, and one happened when the passage between the Fourth and Fifth Boundary Mountains collapsed, sending people to consolidate the earth path."

Gu Ming began to talk about the things that happened at the Taoyang base before, helping Zhao Xing review the cause and effect.

For example, there were four Wild-Expanding Legions in total led by the Martial Division, with Zhou Ze as the main envoy, and Bi Gang and two other warriors as deputy envoys.

However, only Zhou Ze and Bi Gang remained here now, and the other two deputy envoys were trapped in the boundary mountain.

Other main and deputy officials such as the Boundary Transport Division and Medical Division were also short of soldiers and generals.

Zhao Xing reviewed the previous military orders and political orders of the Taoyang Star Land and found that these two dispatches were quite unreasonable.

He subconsciously asked: "Why not dispatch concentrated forces at once, but move in small groups?"

Gu Ming didn't speak, just stared at Qiu Zishan.

The latter showed a look of shame. Zhao Xing understood as soon as he saw it. Based on the leadership position of the Primordial Mound on the Sea-Passage Ancient Road, Qiu Zishan, this Earth-Passage Division main official, was nominally on an equal footing with Gu Ming, but at first, everything was listened to by Qiu Zishan.

It wasn't until Qiu Zishan made a few mistakes that Gu Ming couldn't help but fall out with Qiu Zishan.

But these were all things of the past. Qiu Zishan was already calling him Uncle-Master; what else could Gu Ming say?

Seeing that Zhao Xing didn't continue to ask, he skipped this topic in one sentence: "The disaster came too fast, and the establishment time of the Taoyang base was too short."

"Fortunately, the adult turned the tide. Now we have not only cleared the boundary mountain fragments, returned the Yin-Yang double stars to the right path, but also repaired a small part of the transmission array... Everyone has done some remedial measures."

"Perhaps we can achieve a balance of merits and demerits, or even merits outweighing demerits."

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly relaxed.

Yes, after more than half a year of hard work, the recovery of the Taoyang Star Land was close to the level before the disaster, except that personnel and materials were consumed severely.

Thanks to Zhao Xing's Dharma theory, everyone's fear of the Folded Boundary Mountain had been greatly reduced.

Isn't it just natural disasters and earth changes?

Everyone is a Dao Domain Realm expert. In the background of the Desolate Domain Era, who hasn't taken a few tasks to fight against the Desolate Domain? Zhao Xing's Dharma theory at least drove away that part of the fear brought by the unknown!

With a direction, even if these Dao Domain Realm experts still couldn't solve the problem of the Folded Boundary Mountain, couldn't Samsara Realm experts, or even demigods, solve it?

Assuming the Taoyang Star Land could return to a normal level, then the Sea-Passage Ancient Road might not be closed.

Their power and status were firmly tied to the Sea-Passage Ancient Road. As long as the Sea-Passage Ancient Road was not abandoned, they could continue to work.

"The adult just said that he wanted to carry out personnel transfers. I, Gu Ming, and the Profound Mechanism Division are the first to agree, but I think we can make fine adjustments to the specific personnel..."

Gu Ming took a good lead, and soon the heads and brains in the Central Extreme Hall began to speak enthusiastically.

"Lord Zhao, my Boundary Transport Division has always had eight Land-Mountain Boats parked at the Changyu Terrace. Originally, only Lord Fang of the Boundary Transport Division could open them because the authority was in his hands. Without his Dharma talisman, none of us could get on the Land-Mountain Boats."

"Now Lord Fang is trapped in the Folded Boundary Mountain. Although I have been designated by you as the temporary main official, I cannot use these eight Land-Mountain Boats."

"If the adult can ask the higher-ups to change the authority, I can go in. The Land-Mountain Boats can cooperate with the Earth-Passage Division to transport the peak corners and isolate the aggregation characteristics of the boundary mountain."

……

"Sea-Passage Envoy, your Dharma theory mentioned that the Earth-Era Earth Change of the Folded Boundary Mountain released the Hangxie Qi stored in the Triassic Era of the Mesozoic Era, which will paralyze people's divine sense and weaken their heart and will. And my Medical Division researched two months ago and found that the herbal materials for making Dao-Profound Pills can effectively resist this earth change."

"But I, Chai Sisi, am only a cabinet physician, not a bucket-cabinet physician, and cannot research an effective resistance prescription."

"In addition, the materials for Dao-Profound Pills are contraband in the Red Star Empire, and I have no right to apply for them. Even if they are applied for, I cannot handle the medication process."

"It is not possible to promote me to a bucket-cabinet physician. The only bucket-cabinet physician currently is Lou Lanxiao. I hope the adult will investigate."

……

The middle and high-level backbones of various departments on the Sea-Passage Ancient Road, not to mention anything else, were definitely elite-level, otherwise, they wouldn't have been sent to important ancient roads for development work.

Taoyangzi was not there, and under Qiu Zishan's temporary leadership, the talents of these people were not brought into play, and elites became a mob.

After Zhao Xing, this main official, played his due role, the various departments of the Taoyang Star Land immediately burst into strong vitality.

Everyone knew what to do and saw hope, and wouldn't be in a mess like before.

The scene of everyone working together in the Central Extreme Hall made Qiu Zishan feel ashamed.

He didn't understand that it was the same group of people, how they were small shrimps in his hands, and became elites after Uncle-Master Zhao came.

Qiu Zishan could only attribute the problem to his lack of personal charm and inability to get the sincere support of these people.

Thinking this way, Qiu Zishan felt even more uncomfortable, wishing he could cast an Earth-Escape Technique and drill away.

"Cousin, what's shameful about not being able to compare to Uncle-Master Zhao?" Junior Sister Gong Xiaoyuan, who saw Qiu Zishan's thoughts, said, "Uncle-Master Zhao is a talent who is proficient in both legal principles and government affairs. You won't meet a few in a lifetime."

"We of the Primordial Mound are good at working. Coordinating various departments is not the work you should do; it should be the teacher's!"

Qiu Zishan felt much better after hearing his junior sister comfort him: "Junior sister, you are right. Let's work hard."

"Uncle-Master Zhao will definitely carry out rescue operations next. Our Earth-Passage Division must not fall behind!"

Gong Xiaoyuan: "Hmm~o(*~▽~*)o"

……

The meeting found many problems and solved many problems.

After the meeting, Zhao Xing was about to send a message to Emperor Bisui. As soon as he walked out of the Central Extreme Hall, he saw a strong man peeking sneakily at the corner.

Swish~

Zhao Xing took a step and appeared behind Bi Gang. "Deputy Envoy Bi, what are you doing here?"

Bi Gang was startled, but soon recovered: "Ah, Sea-Passage Envoy, this, that..."

Zhao Xing saw Bi Gang stammering and unable to speak: "If you don't say it, I'm leaving."

"Wait, Sea-Passage Envoy!"

Bi Gang gritted his teeth, knelt on one knee, and bowed: "I offended the Sea-Passage Envoy before and haven't apologized to the Sea-Passage Envoy. Please, Sea-Passage Envoy, don't remember the villain's faults and forgive me this time."

Zhao Xing looked at Bi Gang and said lightly: "Oh? How come I heard that after you were released, you were still bad-mouthing me everywhere? Saying I bullied colleagues and was harsh and inhuman."

Bi Gang's face turned pale: "It was me who didn't know the height of heaven and earth and didn't understand the adult's painstaking efforts. The subordinate is willing to accept punishment."

Seeing the Taoyang Star Land thriving and everything moving in a good direction, Bi Gang couldn't sit still.

Zhao Xing held a meeting in the Central Extreme Hall and had deployments for the three armies of the Martial Division to enter the mountain for rescue, except for the Wild-Expanding Legion led by him, Bi Gang, which still had the original task—moving the mountain rocks that fell off the Sixth and Seventh Boundary Mountains.

How could this work? Qi-practicing warriors can endure hardship, but they can't always endure hardship!

Originally, he felt that the Sea-Passage Ancient Road was going to be cold, and it didn't matter if the task was done or not. Now it was different. For the sake of the brothers under his command, he had to come and beg for mercy.

The weeds in the corner of the palace wall shook, leaving only a wind sound of screening sand.

After looking up after a moment of silence, Zhao Xing was no longer in sight.

Just when Bi Gang thought he hadn't received Zhao Xing's forgiveness, a voice appeared in his ear with the wind: "I don't hold against you for all the past events. Return to the camp and pick a thousand good hands. Follow me into the Seventh Boundary Mountain in three months."

Bi Gang stood up happily and bowed to the direction where Zhao Xing disappeared: "Thank you, Lord Zhao!"

…

Sixth Boundary

At first, it was just the shape of a bubble, but the center point became increasingly sharp, as if diamond thorns had grown on the mountain.

The aggregation force of the Boundary Mountain was resisting this breaking force, until at a certain moment—

"Boom!"

A pit appeared in the Boundary Mountain, and a large amount of mountain rock was thrown outward after losing its aggregation.

A pit that was large on the outside and small on the inside appeared on the mountain body, and a boundary boat, thin in the front and thick in the back, rushed out.

"Buzz buzz~"

The front half of the boundary boat was a drill, which had become fiery red and translucent due to the rapid rotation, as if a sun were burning inside.

"Hiss!"

Someone flew out from the boundary boat, took out a treasure gourd, and poured it toward the drill.

Seven moon rivers quickly wrapped around the drill, attempting to make the boundary boat's drill stop.

"Boom!" Amidst the intersection of yin and yang, a piercing roar suddenly erupted.

The drill suddenly dimmed rapidly, canyon-like cracks appeared on it, debris flew everywhere, and the seven moon rivers were also mostly annihilated.

"Damn it, another one scrapped."

"It's truly damn sinister; nine top-grade Origin Yin-Yang Drills have been scrapped... Good thing I brought a few more, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to return."

Lord Lanjie grumbled as he put away the gourd.

He was a Lord-level Mechanist.

A year ago, he received a mission from the empire and rushed to the Bisui Star Continent of the Sea-Connecting Ancient Road to begin opening the passage between the Sixth Boundary Mountain and the Fifth Boundary Mountain.

The characteristic of the Layered Boundary Mountain is that it has no bottom in any direction, all hidden in the void.

Therefore, one can only choose weak points to dig tunnels.

And one can only dig from the Phenomenon Layer; if one were to dig from the Dao-Manifestation Layer or the Dao-Ancient Layer, who knows how many years it would take to dig through. Even so, Lord Lanjie still felt incredibly overwhelmed.

The damn Layered Boundary Mountain, because it is constantly converting void energy for mountain aggregation, has no clear weak points at all!

The patterns that had been explored previously were no longer accurate after a collapse occurred.

He dug for a whole year and scrapped nine top-grade Origin Divine Weapon drills before he finally dug a small path out of the Sixth Boundary Mountain.

Lord Lanjie quickly had the boundary boat transform and began to detect the surrounding direction.

Unexpectedly, he discovered that the starry sky in front of the Sixth Boundary Mountain was actually very clean.

"What's going on? Wasn't it said that the Sixth and Seventh Mountains collapsed and the mountain fragments filled the base space in between?"

"Is the intelligence wrong?"

Lord Lanjie tentatively contacted the people on the Taoyang Star Continent and found that the Star Mirror also had a signal here.

Clearly, the communication star chain of the Taoyang base was also in effect.

"Strange!"

Lord Lanjie shouted and quickly rushed toward the Taoyang Star Continent to deliver the goods.

He had to hurry; the Boundary Mountain would heal. The mountain path opened on the way here was not stable. If he returned late, this thing would become a solid piece of iron again.

"Buzz~"

Since the starry sky was clean and tidy, the route was very clear, and Lord Lanjie could accelerate and speed without scruples.

It only took five days to fly to the Taoyang Star Continent.

"Who is Zhao Xing? Notify him to come out and receive the goods!"

Lord Lanjie's boundary boat circled above the star continent, continuously sending out signals.

Zhao Xing was with Gu Ming. Because he had received the notification five days ago and knew that a Reincarnation Realm Mechanist was coming to the Taoyang Star Continent to deliver things, he had long been waiting at the Boundary Transport Port.

"Lord Lanjie, I am Zhao..."

"Whoosh~"

The boundary boat suddenly emitted a burst of white light. Lord Lanjie threw the cargo down and then took off running.

"..."

Gu Ming was speechless. Are the empire's Mechanist Lords too anxious?

"Is Lord Lanjie in a rush to deliver the next order?"

Zhao Xing shook his head: "I don't know, maybe he wants to save some money."

The empire's reimbursement quota is constant. How many drills Lord Lanjie scraps while opening the Boundary Mountain is his own business. If the consumption is within the quota, the remainder belongs to Lord Lanjie himself. "Eh? Why is there still one person? I don't remember saying we needed reinforcements?" Zhao Xing suddenly noticed that there was another person standing on the cargo.

The rank was not low either; he was also a Lord.

"May I ask who you are, senior?" Zhao Xing had already learned that this person's name was Jishan, a Lord-level, but he didn't know why he came.

"You are Zhao Xing? I came specifically to find you." Jishan's eyes were burning: "The Earth Vein samples that Emperor Bisui transferred for you were all selected for you by me from the Primordial Mound's treasury."

"If they were transferred from the empire's treasury, you would have had to wait at least another three years."

Zhao Xing glanced at Gu Ming, and the latter immediately said: "Leave the cargo storage to me."

Since Lord Jishan was not on the written list, it was a personal action, and he was here for Zhao Xing.

Gu Ming wouldn't be an eyesore here and immediately arranged for people to run and receive the cargo.

"Senior, please enter the hall and take the seat of honor."

Zhao Xing invited Lord Jishan inside.

At the same time, in the Red Star Empire, the Primordial Realm.

A multi-party meeting was being held in Thousand Star City.

Zuo Qiyu and Wudu were still sitting on the main floating platform.

Emperor Yuanding of the Reincarnation Temple, Emperor Mangya of the Ancient Kingdom Alliance, the Seven-Boundary Scholar Bowei of the Academy City, and Emperor Tianwu of the Origin Heaven Palace sat in two rows.

They all looked seriously at a middle-aged man in green dharma robes in the middle.

Undoubtedly, the first half of the meeting was to hold the Primordial Mound accountable.

"Emperor Lushan, when we cooperated initially, your Primordial Mound swore that the Three-Layered Boundary Mountain was not a problem and could be solved."

"Now, five of the seven large ancient roads have had problems, and they all occurred in this link of the Layered Boundary Mountain."

"I won't mention the number of casualties and the wasted resources and time; I presume your Primordial Mound should be very clear about it."

"My Origin Heaven Palace needs an explanation." Emperor Tianwu took the lead in attacking.

"The Ancient Kingdom Alliance also suffered heavy losses in this Boundary Mountain disaster." Emperor Mangya said coldly: "Lord Lushan, I won't say any other ugly words."

"For the future rights and interests originally designated on the five roads, your Primordial Mound should concede thirty percent."

Emperor Yuanding of the Reincarnation Temple and the Seven-Boundary Scholar Bowei were silent, but obviously, they all meant the same thing.

The ultimate goal of holding an ally accountable is nothing more than profit compensation. Thirty percent is already cutting flesh from the thigh for the Primordial Mound.

After all, the Primordial Mound itself has to pay a lot. When it came to interests, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became heavy.

Just then, Emperor Wudu spoke up.

"Emperor Mangya, what do you mean by not saying ugly words?"

"You should say them, and say them loudly!"

Emperor Mangya was a bit stunned, only to see Emperor Wudu jump down from the floating platform and float in front of Emperor Lushan, spraying him wildly.

"Little brat Lushan, your Primordial Mound promised everything well at the beginning, but now you've messed things up. You've caused many geniuses of my Primordial Realm to be trapped, injured, or killed..."

"It's one thing that your disciples are trash, but Hongshan, an old guy who specializes in mountain spells, was actually trapped in the Three-Layered Boundary Mountain too. It's shameful, you've simply lost all the face of Saint Yao!"

"Daoist brother Five Elements..." Emperor Lushan just wanted to speak.

"Who the hell is your Daoist brother!" Seeing him talk back, Emperor Wudu scolded even more fiercely.

"In the fourteenth epoch before the Desolate Era, you and I were digging the Black Heaven Desolate Realm together. Five great emperors couldn't even dig out a single piece of black stone, and you killed many of my men."

"In the eighth epoch before the Desolate Era, you licked your face and said you could fix the Ten Directions Mountain... Hahaha, you blew the Kui Ox all the way to the North Boundary River!"

"..."

"Fine, I won't mention the distant past. At the beginning of the Desolate Era, the Devouring Gold Emperor of the Ten Thousand River Demon Clan was actually able to gnaw away half of your Primordial Realm's earth veins. It really makes this grandfather laugh to death... Are the agricultural officials of the Primordial Mound's Three Realms and Twelve Mountains all grown by eating dirt?"

"Oh, I forgot, you really do eat dirt. Isn't the first layer of 'Extreme Continent' just drawing veins into the body? Hehe, what a trash cultivation technique!"

"I think it's better to call it Trash Soil Technique!"

"..."

Facing the questioning of Emperor Mangya and others, Emperor Lushan could still remain calm.

But facing the abuse of Emperor Wudu, he was truly a bit broken.

Wudu's scolding specifically exposed shortcomings, picking all the dark history of the Primordial Mound to talk about.

Emperor Lushan was so angry.

But he couldn't make a move, let alone talk back.

Who told him that Emperor Wudu was Zhao Xing's true teacher.

Now, the problems of the Primordial Mound are very likely to be solved by Zhao Xing's legal theory!

After Wudu jumped out, the first half of the Primordial Meeting was a one-man roast show by Wudu.

No one mentioned asking the Primordial Mound for compensation or cutting flesh, because they couldn't get a word in at all.

The first half ended with Lord Lushan's face being scolded green.

By the second half, Emperor Wudu was finally tired of scolding. Emperor Lushan finally had a chance to speak.

"Fellow Daoists, this matter is indeed the dereliction of duty of my Primordial Mound; we underestimated the difficulty of the Layered Boundary Mountain." Emperor Lushan bowed and apologized.

Then he looked at Emperor Wudu again: "Daoist brother Five Elements is right, I am trash, and my junior brother Hongshan is also trash."

Yo ho?

Emperor Wudu glanced at Emperor Lushan. Why is this old guy so low-key today? It's not his style, is it?

Zuo Qiyu pulled Wudu: "Stop scolding, let him continue."

Emperor Lushan looked at Emperor Yuanding and the others again: "The problem of the Three-Layered Boundary Mountain is not unsolvable. The Primordial Mound can guarantee that everything will return to normal within a hundred years."

Emperor Mangya glanced at Emperor Lushan, exchanged a look with Emperor Yuanding and Emperor Tianwu, and nodded slightly.

Then Emperor Yuanding spoke: "Brother Lushan, there is no need for such a great gift. In the end, we are allies working together, not really trying to make things difficult for the Primordial Mound."

"If the matter can be solved, that is of course the best."

"If it doesn't work..."

Emperor Lushan said: "If we cannot do it, then we will proceed according to what Daoist brother Mangya said. My Primordial Mound is willing to give up thirty percent of our original rights and interests."

Emperor Mangya snorted: "It's easy to say, but everyone took out so many resources and treasures, not for play. You must produce some results!"

"If your Primordial Mound can't do it, you might as well let others try. The Ancient Kingdom Alliance and the Origin Heaven Palace are not without agricultural officials."

Seeing Emperor Mangya being aggressive, Emperor Lushan helplessly had to take a Dao book from his sleeve: "Everyone, please look. This is a legal theory produced by a disciple of my Primordial Mound. It has great guiding significance for solving the Three-Layered Boundary Mountain, and it has already been preliminarily verified."

Everyone immediately scanned the Dao book taken out by Lord Lushan. The cover had ten large characters—"Theory on the Origin of the Mesozoic Three-Layered Boundary Mountain."

Under the corner was the author's signature: Zhao Xing.

Seeing this name, Emperor Wudu was stunned for a moment.

"What's going on? This legal theory written by Zhao Xing is actually treated as a treasure by the Primordial Mound?"

Emperor Wudu immediately reviewed the content of the Dao book and looked at Emperor Lushan's serious appearance. His eyes were both pleasantly surprised and angry.

What was pleasantly surprising was that the legal theory written by his disciple could be valued by the Primordial Mound. How much talent must that be?

What was angry was that Emperor Lushan's wording just now was actually "a disciple of my Primordial Mound."

"Bad, no wonder this old guy didn't talk back. It turns out he came to snatch my disciple!"

"Shameless old thief!"
