Chapter 436: 1,008 Years of Attempt!

Facing Zhao Xing's inquiry, Yuan Qiusheng was very humble. He bowed and said: "I dare not give pointers to Brother Dao, I can only talk about my shallow views on breaking the barrier."

Zhao Xing immediately returned the salute. Among the Benwo Sect Si Nong, there is a big difference in temperament between Si Nong who focus on farming and combat Si Nong.

They are close to nature, do not fight for profit, and are basically very gentle people.

In their eyes, life is treated equally.

Yuan Qiusheng said: "The first test set by Senior Zuo Zuo Qiyu in his Primordial City is called 'Boundary-Swinging River'. That is the moat outside Primordial City."

"Only the strength of the grass man is allowed to enter; no magic tools or talismans are allowed."

"The situation of the Boundary-Swinging River is similar to the area of 100,000 miles above the Origin Ocean, and the attack type is multiple fusion."

"When crossing the river, one will suffer physical attacks, mental attacks, soul attacks, and Dao method attacks."

"Brother Han and I have evaluated that to cross the Boundary-Swinging River, the grass man must have at least the strength of the peak of the Five Elements Dao Domain, and must also be good at defense."

Han Qiye nodded slightly, indicating his approval of Yuan Qiusheng's statement.

Zhao Xing pondered: "If it's only to this extent, it shouldn't be that so many geniuses are stuck at this level, unable to even enter the city gate."

"Brother Yuan, are there any other difficulties?"

Hearing him say this, Yuan Qiusheng, Han Qiye, Fairy Youling, and Miaosong Daoist couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

The grass man method is a very difficult type of spell in the Benwo Sect. Despite the many geniuses here, only Yuan Qiusheng and Han Qiye have practiced the grass man method to have the combat power of the "Five Elements Dao Domain Peak."

Only these two passed the level. Zhao Xing said this, doesn't it mean that his grass man method has reached this level?

Everyone couldn't tell if Zhao Xing was acting cool or just purely commenting on the level.

Pausing, Yuan Qiusheng continued: "Speaking of this level alone, although it is difficult, it cannot stop so many geniuses."

"It's just that after the grass man crosses the Boundary-Swinging River, it will definitely suffer various damages, and there is no way to take the grass man back for supply and repair."

"So, even if one can pass the first level and enter the city gate, one will still fall before the 'Taixu Pass' of the second level."

"What is the Taixu Pass?" Zhao Xing asked.

"I don't know much about the second level, so I have to ask Brother Han to answer." Yuan Qiusheng said.

Everyone looked at Han Qiye again, and the latter pondered:

"Taixu Pass is that as soon as you enter, you will be swallowed by a void crack."

"Currently, no one has been able to escape."

"The feelings of the challengers at the second level are also different. Some claim that as soon as they enter, they appear in a thunder prison without spiritual energy."

"Some say they sank into an endless illusion, as if experiencing reincarnation."

"Others say that as soon as they enter, they were torn apart by violent void turbulence."

"..."

"In short, everyone doesn't even know what the second level 'Taixu' is testing."

"Even the rules are unclear, so naturally there are no successful challengers."

Zhao Xing nodded. It seems that everyone has fallen before the second level.

The best record is just being able to pass the Boundary-Swinging River.

Yuan Qiusheng and Han Qiye didn't introduce any more, obviously they had said what they knew.

Zhao Xing didn't ask any more, just thinking quietly.

"Just like in the past life, Zuo Zuo Qiyu's checkpoint is still the Boundary-Swinging River and the Taixu Pass."

"I just don't know if there are any changes in the content. After all, I entered the Origin Realm much earlier. And Zuo Zuo Qiyu also reached the demigod realm later."

Zhao Xing actually didn't know much about Zuo Zuo Qiyu, because he couldn't touch the main body of this big shot at all. This person was elusive, and he hadn't learned the Void Ancestor series of grass man methods in his past life.

Zuo Zuo Qiyu didn't have any disciples in Zhao Xing's impression. However, at this time, Zuo Zuo Qiyu was not as strong or as cold as he was later.

At least Zuo Zuo Qiyu was still holding the title of Origin Envoy and would do some specific things. That time, the Five Poisons Emperor also successfully angered Zuo Zuo Qiyu.

"Anger means there is still humanity," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "If it were the Zuo Zuo Qiyu who was indifferent to everything, then the grass man method would be out of reach, and the limited edition grass man method would become an out-of-print grass man method."

In his past life, Zuo Zuo Qiyu's grass man method appeared on the players' detection panels, but his existence was like a non-sale item placed in a shop by a merchant, just for people to look at.

Players racked their brains, but couldn't learn it no matter what. Zuo Zuo Qiyu's favorability could only be raised to a certain level and couldn't be raised any higher, eventually becoming out-of-print.

"Regardless of what it's like, I'll know after trying."

Since he was already here, naturally he couldn't retreat in the face of difficulties. He had to try before saying anything.

There were quite a few people who had this idea.

Soon Han Qiye was the first to stand up: "Fellow Daoists, I have some insights and want to verify them in the Taixu Pass. Are there any fellow Daoists who want to go with me?"

Miaosong Daoist opened his eyes and immediately responded: "I also happen to have some insights, let's go together."

"I don't have any new gains yet, so I think it's useless to go, so I'll wait here for the good news from the two brothers." Yuan Qiusheng said.

"Me too." Han Chuchen nodded.

As for Fairy Youling, she was simply in meditation and didn't open her eyes at all.

Obviously, she didn't intend to try now.

"I'll try too." At this time, Zhao Xing spoke. "I haven't tried it yet, so I'll go and open my eyes."

So Zhao Xing, Han Qiye, and Miaosong Daoist flew to the moat outside the city together.

Although there were few people who came, there were many grass men.

Whether it is the Benwo Sect or not, the grass man method is one of the essential skills.

Even if not used for combat, it is good for chores or scouting.

So at this time, by the Boundary-Swinging River, grass men of all kinds gathered in groups, constantly crossing the river.

"There are more people than a few days ago." Miaosong Daoist clicked his tongue, "Those with points don't go to break in, but there are so many people in the Primordial City where there are no points to be gained."

"Those who can enter the Origin Realm are all outstanding people. What's more, the geniuses in this session far exceed previous sessions, and they all like to challenge high difficulty to prove themselves." Han Qiye said.

Zhao Xing deeply agreed. There are too many Samsara reincarnated powerhouses in this session. If placed in the original country or force, they would be either a country lord or the founder of a big family.

In a certain era, perhaps they had all experienced the stage of being invincible in the world and creating miracles, doing things others couldn't do.

The test set by Zuo Zuo Qiyu is said to be difficult? No one can pass?

Instead, it is easier to arouse the minds of these people.

"Brother Han, Brother Zhao, which grass man are you using this time?" Miaosong Daoist asked as the three landed on a reef by the river.

"I'll try the Giant Tripod Grass Man and the Origin Yang Grass Man." Han Qiye said.

"I'll use the Heavenly Demon Grass Man and the Antarctic Grass Man." Miaosong Daoist said.

Both are talking about grass man fusions, and the targets are the inheritances of the "Pure Yang, Heavenly Yang, Giant Yang" lower three chapters in the Void Ancestor series.

"I practiced the Giant Yang Grass Man, but I haven't done multi-method fusion." Zhao Xing said.

Miaosong Daoist and Han Qiye didn't ask much, nodded, and began to cast spells.

Before long, various visions appeared around them. Some grass men had a layer of treasure light guarding their minds, some were enveloped by an Antarctic light with a crescent moon circling, and others fused into a big demon's head with a human body.

In contrast, Zhao Xing only had a very ordinary-looking Giant Yang Grass Man.

The three people's departure times were different.

Zhao Xing left the earliest, and Miaosong Daoist left the latest. Han Qiye was in the middle.

However, the situation was different when crossing the river.

Zhao Xing walked the slowest, and was soon caught up by Han Qiye, becoming the fastest to cross the river.

When Miaosong Daoist passed Zhao Xing, Han Qiye was already close to landing.

"Clang~ Clang~"

Zhao Xing, in the middle of the river, was impacted by the water waves, and a ringing sound like a bell echoed inside the grass man.

The sound spread throughout his body, and his perspective began to twist.

The water waves also became extremely strange in Zhao Xing's perception, as if countless small insects were drilling into his body.

"Interesting." Zhao Xing stopped to contemplate carefully.

Seeing Zhao Xing stop, Miaosong Daoist couldn't help but think:

"It seems that the demigod disciple has no talent for the grass man method. Halfway through the journey, he can't hold on."

"He was bragging earlier, and I don't know how he was chosen."

Walking halfway and can't hold on, needing to stop?

Obviously, it is very difficult to pass the first level.

"Whoosh~"

The tide struck.

"Not good!"

Miaosong Daoist immediately stopped being distracted, because he wanted to pass the first level without injury this time, so he immediately controlled the grass man with all his might.

"Sizzle~"

The tide passed through his grass man, which was emitting light purple light. One of the grass man clones surrounded by the moon, which seemed to have a dragon head, immediately extinguished its light and stiffened on the water surface.

Another Antarctic grass man, walking on water, was extremely flexible and immediately wanted to fly over by stepping on the tide.

However, as soon as it took off, thunder struck on the Boundary-Swinging River, striking down as if locked on.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle~"

The Heavenly Demon Grass Man was soaked by the tide and stiffened in place.

The Antarctic Grass Man was scorched by lightning.

"Antarctic Transformation, Rebirth!"

"Heavenly Demon Body Protection, Ten Thousand Laws Cannot Invade."

A smaller grass man drilled out of the Antarctic Grass Man's body, while the Heavenly Demon Grass Man shook and flicked off the fine water droplets clinging to its body.

Zhao Xing, who was contemplating, couldn't help but take a look at Miaosong Daoist's spellcasting.

"A bit of strength. Antarctic Transformation and Heavenly Demon Body Protection are not easy to master."

Miaosong Daoist's grass man method was very fancy. At least from the surface, Zhao Xing felt he was quite good.

"However, he lost 20% of his spiritual power, and his divine sense strength also dropped by a layer. I just don't know if the grass man's body has any damage."

If Miaosong Daoist was thinking of passing without injury, this time he failed, and it would be better to restart.

However, he was obviously not someone as picky as Zhao Xing. After getting rid of the giant wave impact of the Boundary-Swinging River, Miaosong Daoist still continued to move forward, landed, and entered the city.

And Han Qiye's grass man split into sixty-four after landing and turned into sixty-four grass men to enter the city.

"The method within the grass man method, Han Qiye's attainments are also very high."

"There weren't so many people proficient in the grass man method in the previous dozens of Origin Assemblies. Now everyone's grass man method is played very smoothly."

On the Boundary-Swinging River, countless grass men showed their magical powers.

Some crossed the river by avoiding water, some flew by sticking to the water, and some jumped and shuttled.

Only Zhao Xing honestly enlarged his body, stepped into the river, and crossed with his physical body.

The method is very primitive, with no skill at all, just pushing all the way.

"Whoosh~ Bang!"

The Giant Yang clone finally landed.

And at this time, Han Qiye and Miaosong Daoist had just landed.

However, they no longer dared to underestimate Zhao Xing's river-crossing method.

Because in their perception, Zhao Xing's Giant Yang clone had no reduction in spiritual power, the structure itself remained unchanged, and there were no traces of spell consumption, that is, his divine sense had dropped slightly, but it was almost no different from half a year ago.

"Passed the first level without injury?"

"His Giant Yang Grass Man's defense can actually reach this level." Miaosong Daoist was surprised.

"What exquisite control." Han Qiye saw something else, "Spiritual power cannot be unconsumed, and he used this method to cross the river slowly. After the spiritual power was consumed, it was captured by him and taken back into his body."

"Not casting spells, so spiritual power won't escape quickly in the tide... No, there should be something else."

"I feel that the vitality of this grass man of his has a sense of thickness?"

Han Qiye looked at Zhao Xing for a while, but finally held back the idea of asking.

They weren't very familiar with each other. This might involve someone's secret cultivation method, and asking too much would be abrupt, so he just greeted:

"Brother Zhao has good strength."

"Brother Han is over-praising." Zhao Xing bowed. He didn't rush to enter the city, but began to check the body of the Giant Yang Grass Man.

Miaosong Daoist and Han Qiye entered the city again.

"The consumption of spiritual energy is not large, but the scouring of the Boundary-Swinging River still caused some tiny hidden injuries to the grass man's body." Zhao Xing tried to take root in the soil to absorb spiritual energy, but couldn't replenish any spiritual energy.

"Unable to absorb spiritual energy, there is no way to repair it. Forget it, the problem is not very big. First attempt, let's go and explore the reality."

As soon as he entered Primordial City, Zhao Xing saw a black space crack appear, and then he found his Giant Yang clone appearing in a closed space.

"Unable to resist, everything happened too fast." Zhao Xing experienced it.

"My soul strength only allows me to sense time one-thousandth of a second away. I can't sense anything faster, and Zuo Zuo Qiyu's setting is far faster than my reaction limit."

"It seems that dodging the crack is fundamentally unworkable."

When various Great Daos are cultivated to a certain extent, the soul constantly becomes stronger, and it will naturally sense the Time Great Dao.

It is rumored that the birth of the Origin Realm was in one-sixty-eight-quadrillionth of a second! That is, born in one-tenth to the sixty-eighth power of a second.

Zhao Xing's vague perception of the Time Great Dao is only at the "three-fraction-immeasurable" level, that is, he can sense things happening one-thousandth of a second away and react.

If it's faster, such as compressed into one-ten-thousandth of a second, that is the "four-fraction-immeasurable" level. At this speed, even a simple punch touches the category of the Time Great Dao, making it impossible for the enemy to react.

"Those who can cultivate the Time Great Dao are generally Samsara Emperors. Their true spirits are strong enough to complete spellcasting or attacking within seven immeasurable fractions."

Zhao Xing moved his body and found that after being swallowed by the black crack, his body was fine. He began to look at the surrounding environment.

"Up, down, left, right, front, back, all are gray walls."

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

Zhao Xing launched his soul heavenly vision and soon found that he was trapped in a closed box with a length, height, and width of 10,000 kilometers.

It's just that these walls were all emitting gray mist.

"Bang!"

Zhao Xing tried to punch the ground, but his fist quickly encountered resistance near the gray mist on the ground, as if hitting water.

When touching the ground, the impact force had been completely offset.

"Seems like I didn't hit a solid object."

Zhao Xing acted quickly again, punching the entire closed space.

"Bang bang bang~~~"

After the sky-filling fist shadows, nothing had changed.

"Everything is the same, it's fundamentally impossible to break with brute force."

After the test, Zhao Xing sat cross-legged to think, and the main body outside was also analyzing rapidly.

"Those who can cultivate the Great Dao of Time are generally Reincarnation Emperors. Their Primordial Spirits are powerful enough to complete a spell or an attack within seven immeasurable moments."

Zhao Xing moved his body and discovered that after being swallowed by the black rift, his body was unharmed; he began to examine the surrounding environment.

"Up, down, left, right, front, back—it is all gray wall surfaces."

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~"

Zhao Xing activated his Soul Heavenly Vision and quickly discovered that he was trapped in a closed box with a length, height, and width of 10,000 kilometers.

It was just that these walls were all emitting gray mist.

"Bang!"

Zhao Xing tried to punch the ground; his fist quickly encountered resistance as it neared the gray mist on the ground, as if it had struck into water.

By the time it touched the ground, the impact force had been completely neutralized.

"It seems I haven't hit a solid object."

Zhao Xing moved quickly again, throwing punches toward the entire enclosed space.

"Bang, bang, bang~~~"

After the sky-filling shadows of punches, nothing had changed.

"It's all the same; it's simply impossible to break through with brute force."

After the test was finished, Zhao Xing sat cross-legged to think, while his main body outside was also analyzing rapidly.

"There is a time discrepancy between the space where my main body and my clone are located. Zuo Zuo Qiyu's Grand Void Gate has ever-changing trial contents; I must have encountered the classic 'Space-Time Cage'."

"The difficulty of breaking it is immense; it is absolutely impossible to break below the Reincarnation Realm."

"No time to waste."

Zhao Xing took the initiative to disperse his clone.

Being prescient has this advantage: knowing which path is a dead end.

A Space-Time Cage can trap a Reincarnation Emperor to death; let alone geniuses like Zhao Xing, even Reincarnation Emperors of the same level would be unable to escape 99% of the time if trapped inside. Only a very few Emperors who have also cultivated the Great Dao of Space-Time can escape a 'Space-Time Cage'.

The trial-taking outside was lively, but Zuo Zuo Qiyu himself was not in Taichu City.

He was currently in the Dao Ancient Layer of the Hundred-Fathom Void, standing side-by-side with Gu Luohe.

"Zuo Qiyu, your Taichu City currently has many people taking the trial, and among them are many world-shaking talents. Do you have any you fancy?" Gu Luohe asked.

"No matter how stunning, I won't even glance at them." Zuo Zuo Qiyu shook his head.

"Taking on disciples is secondary," Gu Luohe said. "I actually hope you can walk out and not take Wudu's words to heart."

"Senior Gu, this has nothing to do with Wudu." Zuo Zuo Qiyu shook his head. "That time was just playing around with him; even if that Zhao Xing really bowed to me, I actually wouldn't compete with him."

"You don't need to persuade me anymore; the rules set with you earlier are right there," Zuo Zuo Qiyu said. "Taichu City has two trials in total. The second trial has 800,000,001 possibilities. 800 million of them are at the Reincarnation level of difficulty. Only one is theoretically passable at the Origin Realm."

"If someone can persevere, try all 800,000,001 possibilities, find the glimmer of survival, and successfully pass... that is fate. Although I will not take on a disciple, I can pass the Straw Man Method to him."

"The premise is that you and the Great Emperor do not leak the secret."

Gu Luohe was silent, then stopped persuading him.

…………

By the side of the Boundary-Swaying River, on a reef.

"Poof~"

After dispersing, Zhao Xing's main body opened his eyes at the Boundary-Swaying River.

"Try again."

Another Giant Yang clone headed toward the city.

"Zuo Zuo Qiyu refuses to take disciples."

"But he didn't block the path of passing on the method. Back then, he promised Great Emperor Chixing and Gu Luohe to set up this checkpoint; the first trial is not considered difficult, but the second trial is difficult to the extreme."

"It is rumored that the second trial has a total of 800,000,001 variations, and only one, theoretically, can be passed at the Origin Realm."

"The rest are trials that are absolutely impossible to pass."

As for which one this possibility is? Gu Luohe and Great Emperor Chixing do not know, but since Zuo Zuo Qiyu laid out the rules, he would never lie.

Zhao Xing had heard this rumor in his past life, so he decided to try 800,000,001 times.

"800,000,001 times—even if it is just a glimmer of possibility, Zuo Zuo Qiyu's Straw Man Method is absolutely worth me spending the time to try."

The out-of-print Straw Man Method was too tempting for Zhao Xing.

The second time, after the clone entered Taichu City, Zhao Xing's vision went black, and he entered a gray-yellow planet.

As soon as he landed, his vitality and spiritual energy drained away rapidly.

"Whoo-woo~" Sky-filling yellow sand wrapped around from all directions.

His body was quickly stained with intense death energy, and then, along with this piece of heaven and earth, he fell into endless withered silence.

"Dead Star of Extinction, no, that's not right."

Zhao Xing's main body shook his head.

…………

The third straw man entered the second trial and appeared on a bustling street.

On the street, a peddler was hawking his wares, and an archway displayed 'Anping Ward'.

And the surrounding crowd all had the exact same aura and appearance as himself.

"Damn it, a Self-Illusion, and it even copied my old home in Gucheng, Nanyang Commandery; truly perverted. Explode!"

Zhao Xing discovered something was wrong and quickly exploded.

……

The fourth time, explode!

The fifth time, explode!

……

The 1,800th time, explode!

……

Time passed, and the geniuses staying in Taichu City became fewer and fewer.

Fifty years later, only a scattered dozen or so people remained taking the trial.

Because no one could pass the second trial.

They hadn't even figured out how to pass it.

Geniuses want to challenge high difficulty, but no one will come to seek abuse in a checkpoint with zero hope.

Now everyone believes that one sentence: No one has ever passed Zuo Zuo Qiyu's trial.

"Leaving."

Han Chiye shook his head and also walked out of the pavilion.

"Zuo Zuo Qiyu simply doesn't want to pass on the method or take disciples; it's purely an excuse."

"Correct." True Person Miaosong also gave up. "How can there be such a trial? The difficulty of the checkpoint has reached the Reincarnation Realm level; even a Reincarnation Emperor couldn't pass it."

Reincarnated and recultivating, their discernment remained; many people judged that the maximum difficulty of Zuo Zuo Qiyu's second trial reached the Reincarnation Emperor level.

It was simply not something that Seaweed-level members could pass; even for Coral-level members, it was a pipe dream.

"Coming to Senior Zuo's place wasn't without gains; my Clone Dao has advanced a step further," Yuan Qiusheng was optimistic. "If I gain it, it is my fortune; if I don't, it is destined by fate."

"You really believe in fate," Fairy Youling smiled.

"Doesn't the Fairy believe?" Yuan Qiusheng asked in surprise.

"A little, but not much; I still have to give some face to my Fate Master friends," Fairy Youling said lazily. "However, I believe more that human effort can achieve anything. Right, Zhao Xing?"

"The Fairy's words are very true," Zhao Xing nodded.

"Brother Zhao, you don't plan to leave?" Han Chuchen was surprised to see Zhao Xing hadn't stood up and was still sending out clones.

"Hmm, I plan to try again," Zhao Xing said. "Just as Brother Miaosong said, even if I can't pass the trial, there are still gains to be had from taking the trial here."

"I was just making the best of a bad situation and joking," True Person Miaosong smiled bitterly. "There are so many treasures in the Origin Realm; how could I waste all my time and energy here?"

"Hahaha."

"I still want to try," Zhao Xing said.

"Then I wish Zhao Xing his wish comes true; we will be leaving first," Han Chuchen and the others stopped persuading him.

Once enough time passed, Zhao Xing would naturally lose patience, so there was no need to persuade him further.

After all, the study time in the Origin Realm was only 2,400-plus years; after weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Xing would have to give up this useless checkpoint sooner or later.

Without them saying it, Gu Luohe probably wouldn't sit by and watch his disciple Zhao Xing waste time either.

…………

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, 500 years had passed.

At this time, it had already been 658 years since entering the Origin Realm.

A full 500 years had passed since taking the Taichu City trial.

"Poof!"

After exploding again, Zhao Xing's main body at the 【Origin Dao Treasury】 sent out a clone as usual, heading toward Taichu City.

Nowadays, Zhao Xing's main body had long since stopped guarding Taichu City, but had started to divide his attention to do other things.

This was mainly because he discovered that trying all 800,000,001 possibilities was too difficult.

"I've encountered too many repeated checkpoints; in terms of count alone, I've tried more than 8 billion times, but so far I've only experienced 400 million non-repeating checkpoints."

"This old brother Zuo Zuo Qiyu is truly something; even luck levels don't work, and it seems to be changing for the worse," Zhao Xing shook his head.

"However, in these 500 years, my Giant Yang clone has made quite a bit of progress; I can pass the first trial without injury even without using exclusive Void Ancestor star system materials."

"The Grain-Mixing Heaven Technique and Mount Wuzhi have both reached the Sixth Rank of Great Divine Ability; nowadays, even a casually created Giant Yang clone, using only materials at the level of Taiyin Dao Soldiers, is enough to beat Bager and the others to the ground."

"The material simplification of extreme minimalism—my Giant Yang clone can be considered to have been played to a new height: cost-saving," Zhao Xing couldn't help but laugh.

Creating a Giant Yang clone at the beginning consumed more than 2 billion Red Star Coins.

After becoming proficient, he started looking for flat-replacement materials; when participating in the Origin Assembly, Zhao Xing was already able to compress the cost to around 100 million without reducing the effect too much.

In these 500 years, in order to pass the Taichu City trial, Zhao Xing had to plant materials himself, using the mutation methods "Stem-Fighting Divine Ability" and "Bone-Removing Divine Ability" to find more cheap, flat-priced materials.

Finally, he reached a balance between preserving power and reducing costs.

Counting only the money he spent himself, not labor, the materials for creating a Giant Yang clone had been reduced by Zhao Xing to the range of 1 million Red Star Coins.

Converted into Origin Realm points, it was already within a range Zhao Xing could accept.

It would not affect his cultivation in other areas too much.

"Even if this old brother Zuo Zuo Qiyu stipulates that the trial-taker must try all possibilities, at my current speed, I estimate I can try them all in another 500 years."

"If the rumor is true, then I will always encounter that glimmer of survival."

Zhao Xing encouraged himself.

…………

By persisting for 500 years and sending clones to take the trial every day, Zhao Xing soon became famous in the Origin Realm again.

At first, everyone felt that Zhao Xing had discovered some secret, so many people followed Zhao Xing and sent clones to try.

Because of Zhao Xing's actions, a wave of enthusiasm for taking the Taichu City trial was set off again.

As a result, they all gave up one after another, and only a few people would come to take a look occasionally.

Zhao Xing's reputation also changed its flavor.

"500 years of golden cultivation time wasted in Taichu City; I don't know if King Mushroom is a fool or a genius."

"The clone money is secondary; too much energy has been wasted. Zhao Xing is only at the Fifth Rank of Seaweed now."

"And the points of Tuosen, Pu Guangrui, and the others are already close to the Coral Rank."

"The Si Nong of the Self-School are all perverts; 'Foolish Child' is truly well-deserved."

"Tsk tsk."

……

500 years is actually not long, but in terms of the limited time stipulated by the Origin Realm, this is a golden time. It is truly hard for many people to understand Zhao Xing wasting his energy on this.

Time passed, and another 508 years went by.

Zhao Xing, as usual, sent his clone to rush toward Taichu City, while his main body was comprehending at the second cultivation site within Gu Luohe's internal world.

Suddenly—

"Hmm."

Zhao Xing, who was comprehending the second type of Life Great Dao, opened his eyes.

"Found it!"

"The 800,000,001st!"

"1,008 years, finally let me encounter this checkpoint!"

Zhao Xing was extremely excited.

At this moment, he had a clone appearing in the second trial of Taichu City, which was a peculiar space filled with gray gas, starlight, and land.

"Compared to the other 800 million checkpoints, the level of this checkpoint, in every aspect, is far too weak!"

The reason Zhao Xing was certain this was the glimmer of survival was because he had experienced the intensity of Reincarnation-level checkpoints many times.

Now that he had suddenly entered the intensity of the Origin Realm level, the comparison was naturally very clear.

"The rumor is true; there really is such a place."

Zhao Xing immediately took out Gu Luohe's token and disappeared from the internal world.

At the same time, in the entire Origin Realm, all his clones stopped their actions, and his main body appeared by the side of the Boundary-Swaying River.

He concentrated all his energy on that Giant Yang clone taking the trial.

Gu Luohe looked up and saw Zhao Xing outside Taichu City, and also saw Zuo Zuo Qiyu's figure appearing on the city wall of Taichu City.

"I didn't teach him." Gu Luohe sent a thought from afar.

Zuo Zuo Qiyu nodded slightly; he naturally believed in Gu Luohe's character.

If Gu Luohe didn't teach him, then this kid truly had perseverance and was obsessed with the Straw Man Dao.

Taichu City, inside the second trial space.

Under the starry sky, Zhao Xing's clone suddenly heard a calm voice.

"Zhao Xing, you have spent 1,008 years, sending at least ten thousand clones in every day to try. In the golden cultivation time of the Origin Realm, being willing to put in this kind of effort is truly rare."

"Senior Zuo." Zhao Xing hurriedly lowered his head respectfully to salute.

"It seems you are indeed obsessed with the Straw Man spell; very well, I will tell you directly," Zuo Zuo Qiyu said. "This checkpoint is the true Grand Void Gate."

"Theoretically speaking, it is the only one that can be passed at the Origin Realm."

"However, even so, its difficulty is very, very high, and no one has ever tried it."

"In my view, your chance of passing in one go is too slim; it's hard to say if you'll need to try a thousand or ten thousand times."

Zhao Xing listened quietly.

"And if you don't pass in one go, you will have to spend another thousand years experiencing all the other checkpoints before you can encounter the true Grand Void Gate."

"You can calculate for yourself how much time you will spend here."

Zhao Xing's heart tightened; assuming he needed to try ten thousand times to pass, he would have to spend ten million years! Nearly eight epochs!

That really was perverted enough!

However, Zhao Xing did not hesitate: "Senior Zuo, I am willing to spend a lifetime trying!"

Listening to Zhao Xing's resolute voice, Zuo Zuo Qiyu was silent.

In a trance, he seemed to see a youth from the past, who was also this hardworking and sincerely told him that he was willing to follow him and learn the method for a lifetime.
