Chapter 438: Rewards Arrived, Second Origin Perfected!
【Profound Yellow Past · Forty-Six】
【... ver since Ji Hong's ascension was destroyed by that black rain, the new Emperor of the Great Zhou was succeeded by Ji Hong's fourth son, Ji Jin. Just as I expected, after Ji Hai took over, the Great Zhou quickly began to go downhill.】
【In less than twenty short years, nineteen prefectures have actually lost three!】
【I had warned Ji Hong long ago that his mother, the Imperial Concubine, was too doting on this son, fostering a perverse personality; the respect and gentleness shown in front of people were all faked.】
【Until he ascended, I had warned that Ji Jin was not a good candidate... He couldn't even summon the Emperor's Sword, couldn't even flip through the Book of Heavenly Mandate, couldn't even wear the Five Emperors' Armor... Can this even be called an Emperor?】
【... atching the Great Zhou go downhill, encountering the joint siege of the Southern Barbarians and the sects, I planned to take action to save this country; although it was no longer the original Great Zhou, it was the Great Zhou after all.】
【Although I discovered someone was spying on me and the Era House might not be safe, I still intended to do so.】
【However, a miracle happened. Ji Hong's fourteenth princess, Ji Luoheng, actually obtained the recognition of the Emperor's Sword and successfully passed the Dragon King's test. She united the three major academies and the Dragon Court, and in
a palace coup, drove her brother to the Dragon Court to recuperate.】
【Hahaha, back then I just let Xiao Yue put a few idle books in her bedroom; she actually learned all my supernatural powers, discovered the tunnel sealed by the Great Agricultural Official back then, and found me.】
【What a smart little girl! Oh no, now she should be called Her Majesty the Empress.】
【The Great Zhou has welcomed its first Empress!】
【After Ji Luoheng came here, she called me Ancestor and asked me about the past events of the Martial Emperor period, as well as the methods of ascension.】
【I told her about the heroic deeds of the Martial Emperor and the Great Agricultural Official back then, and after listening, she also yearned for the outside world.】
【Like Ji Hong, she also invited me to help her ascend together and follow in the footsteps of the ancestors.】
【This time, I was a bit shaken.】
【...】
Writing to this point, Wang Tianzhi suddenly felt a bit tired; he didn't know why, but ever since more than a hundred years ago, he had always had such a feeling.
Whenever he recalled things from his youth, there would be a feeling of fatigue.
Was he getting old? Was his lifespan coming to an end?
That shouldn't be; not to mention that he was in the Era House, even his own lifespan should be enough to support him for a long time.
Why?
Wang Tianzhi lay on the bed, staring blankly at the stars in the sky.
He began to divine the possibility of ascending with Ji Luoheng to see if he could avoid that black rain.
As time passed, the stars in the sky became increasingly blurry, and Wang Tianzhi slowly fell into a dream.
"Wang Tianzhi~"
"Wang Tianzhi~ It's me!"
Wang Tianzhi felt someone calling him. He found himself in a pure white space with no up, down, left, or right, and a familiar voice echoed constantly.
"Who? Who is speaking?"
"Wang Tianzhi~ Hurry and remember, remember~"
The voice still echoed, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity welled up in his heart; he always felt this was someone he was very familiar with.
Finally, Wang Tianzhi couldn't resist his curiosity and actively radiated energy with his Causal Soul; the omnipresent causal lines pursued the source of the voice.
At a certain moment, a massive amount of memories surged from Wang Tianzhi's mind.
Ji Si's Time Dream Return technique finally had an effect.
The past and future resonated, and a familiar figure appeared before Wang Tianzhi.
"Ji Si? Lord Ji? Is it you?"
"It is me." Ji Si's figure nodded. "Lord Wang, long time no see."
"Have you come back to pick me up? His Majesty, and the Great Agricultural Official, are they doing well?" Wang Tianzhi choked with sobs.
"Lord Wang, please recall carefully; your questions all have answers in history."
Wang Tianzhi closed his eyes in the dream and quickly received all the information transmitted by Ji Si.
Time was very long; four thousand six hundred years of time, encompassing every experience of the Great Zhou Martial Emperor after departing from the Profound Yellow Realm and flying out of the Desolate Domain.
Wang Tianzhi watched from a third-person perspective for a long time.
Finally, the scene froze in an exquisite private room; Yun Tiandao, Liu Tianning, Zhao Xing, the Martial Emperor, and Ji Si were all in this room.
"Lord Wang, we did not perish, but have gained a firm foothold in the universe."
"Now, keep the same movements as me, and I will let you talk to the Great Agricultural Official."
"Yes, yes." Wang Tianzhi came back to his senses and subconsciously tidied his clothes. "I am ready."...
Jia-Chen Fourteenth Pass, inside an independent cultivation space.
Ji Si, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened the eye on his forehead.
【Eye of Heavenly Mandate】, this was Ji Si's self-created dual-method Great Supernatural Power.
When his eye opened, a figure in white appeared inside it; it was Wang Tianzhi. At the same time, his eyes radiated a faint light, also reflecting Zhao Xing's gaze into it.
"Wang Tianzhi, pays respects to the Great Agricultural Official!!!"
Zhao Xing quickly crouched down to help Wang Tianzhi up, feeling a bit emotional: "Brother, do not perform such a grand salute. His Majesty and I failed to come pick you up on time; what kind of Great Agricultural Official am I?"
"Brother Wang has suffered. It is I who should apologize to you. The universe is extremely dangerous, and we had reasons we had to return home; I hope you can understand."
Wang Tianzhi's eyes were filled with tears, and he shook his head constantly: "Great Agricultural Official, I have not suffered, I have not suffered..."
Watching this scene, Ji Si was also very moved, but he had to interrupt: "Great Agricultural Official, Lord Wang, my Eye of Heavenly Mandate cannot last long; I need to explain the situation to Lord Wang as soon as possible..."
"Good." Zhao Xing said: "Brother Wang, we are trying to find a way to return; currently..."
Wang Tianzhi listened quietly until the end, his expression gradually turning to surprise, because the reason Zhao Xing said they couldn't return was because of Qing Yuzi's warning, and Qing Yuzi had actually become a God-level entity?
At this time, Wang Tianzhi already had some understanding of the cosmic system and major factions; listening to what Zhao Xing said, his heart was shocked beyond measure.
"Great Agricultural Official, you must not return, it is very dangerous!" Wang Tianzhi
blurted out!
"Hmm?" Zhao Xing was startled, not understanding why Wang Tianzhi was suddenly so excited.
"Great Agricultural Official, I am already at the Dao Domain Realm! These four thousand six hundred years in our hometown have undergone drastic changes; this is no longer the hometown it once was!"
"What?!!" A look of shock appeared in Zhao Xing's eyes; he grabbed Wang Tianzhi's hand: "Speak clearly, what exactly is the situation."
"I can't hold on!" Ji Si shouted.
The distance between Wang Tianzhi and Zhao Xing quickly became infinitely far.
However, the moment Zhao Xing grabbed Wang Tianzhi's arm, Wang Tianzhi transmitted the content of the 【Profound Yellow Past】 series he had recorded.
"Bang!"
Ji Si's third eye exploded, his face was covered in blood and flesh, and his life aura dropped by a large margin.
Zhao Xing only felt his head swell, without suffering any backlash.
Not having time to check the content, he first asked about Ji Si's condition.
"Ji Si, how are you."
"Great Agricultural Official, I won't die yet, it's just that my lifespan has been reduced by one hundred thousand years, and the Great Supernatural Power Eye of Fate has also been crippled." The flesh and blood on Ji Si's face quickly condensed, his voice hoarse.
Zhao Xing couldn't help but gasp; Ji Si was already at the Yin-Yang Dao Domain Realm, and just transmitting a message could cause such heavy injuries?
"Take my token to the Jia-Chen Pass medical base for treatment; whatever tonics, whatever treasures that can restore you... just use them all."
"As for home, let's not contact them for now; the lifespan of the Dao Domain Realm can't withstand such consumption." Zhao Xing instructed.
"Good." Ji Si nodded and retreated to heal.
After Ji Si left, Zhao Xing closed his eyes to rest and began to review the news transmitted by Wang Tianzhi.
He didn't know until he looked, and he was shocked when he did.
The Profound Yellow Realm had actually changed so much?
"Old Wang is already at the Dao Domain Realm, ascension in the Profound Yellow Realm is no longer restricted, and there are resurrected Witches and new sects..."
Zhao Xing looked at what Old Wang wrote and almost thought he had gone crazy from being locked up.
Because many things were different from what he knew.
However, there were also many events that overlapped with his cognition.
Even if Wang Tianzhi was mentally unstable, he wouldn't be able to guess the 'version progress'.
After repeatedly sorting and reviewing, Zhao Xing finally reached a shocking answer:
"How come everything, big or small, seems to be happening
in advance?"
"Spiritual energy recovery in advance, meeting Yu Tianqing in advance, digging up the treasures of the Yue Luo Mausoleum in advance, coming to the Empire's Primordial Realm in advance, the development and expansion of the Desolate Domain in advance, and even the changes in the Profound Yellow Realm are the same."
Calculating carefully, Zhao Xing finally discovered what that feeling of wrongness was: "It seems like the whole world is racing against time."
Regardless, he couldn't return to the Profound Yellow Realm now; he thought carefully and found that the Reincarnation Realm strength was a more suitable node to return.
"Seal!" The old rule, perform a trigger-style memory seal.
After doing everything, Zhao Xing left the independent cultivation space.
Jia-Chen Pass, on Crystal Island.
Just as Zhao Xing walked out of the palace, he discovered two clones returning, accompanied by several people.
One was Emperor Chenjiu, the other was Emperor Lushan.
Zhao Xing was not surprised that Emperor Lushan came here; whenever the Dharma Assembly ended, this old man would come to visit him.
But why did Emperor Chenjiu come?
"Greetings to the two Emperors." Zhao Xing went out to welcome them.
"Zhao Xing, this time Emperor Chenjiu and I came together to settle the merit rewards for your rescue mission." Emperor Lushan said with a
smile.
Zhao Xing suddenly realized; he had almost forgotten about this.
He had rescued the personnel trapped in the Layered Boundary Mountains, and the rewards for this mission hadn't been settled yet.
He had come out to hold the Dharma Assembly and was arranged by the people of the Primordial Hill to work continuously; now they finally remembered this matter.
Zhao Xing said respectfully: "Please instruct me, Emperor."
Emperor Chenjiu had no expression:
"Coral-level member Zhao Xing, your status level has been raised to Coral Ninth Rank."
"The total merit for the rescue operation mission is one billion fifty million; you alone receive five hundred fifty million, and the remaining five hundred million is divided equally among the rest."
The rescue operation rewarded a total of over one billion merits, and Zhao Xing was an absolutely irreplaceable person who played an important role in the operation.
Therefore, he alone received five hundred fifty million merits.
"Thank you, Emperor." Zhao Xing felt a joy in his heart; this time he had made a huge profit.
The Empire had spent a fortune developing the Desolate Domain this time; 100 million merits could be exchanged for a top-tier Origin Divine Weapon, or a slightly weaker Reincarnation Dao Weapon.
The point was that the items available for exchange had greatly increased, and some things were even limited-time exchanges; only such large-scale operations would lift the restrictions.
For example, Zhao Xing could use his merits to exchange for opportunities for his relatives to enter the Primordial Realm to cultivate, or borrow the Great Expansion Divine Weapon to deduce secret techniques...
Because the Empire cooperated with the Origin Heavenly Palace, the Reincarnation Temple, and other factions, Zhao Xing could even exchange for things from the treasure vaults provided by other super factions.
"If you have exchange needs, you can tell me directly, and you can exchange them now." Emperor Chenjiu said: "Otherwise, some things will have to wait in line."
Emperor Chenjiu was a differentiated body of the Great Expansion Divine Weapon, which itself possessed storage functions and was a massive mobile treasure vault.
Just like the Erliangpo ring worn by Emperor Mengwu.
Emperor Chenjiu coming to deliver goods was not a treatment ordinary people had; it was mainly due to the invisible reputation bonus of Zhao Xing's theory.
Zhao Xing didn't even think and said immediately: "I want to exchange for two types of Origin Golden Pills from the Heavenly Palace."
Origin Golden Pills were a very famous treasure of the Origin Heavenly Palace, a pill formula invented by the Alchemist Palace Master Jiujue.
There were two series in total: Origin Golden Pills and Reincarnation Golden Pills.
Origin Golden Pills only corresponded to the Great Supernatural Power Realm, and their function was to accelerate the absorption of various types of Origin power.
Reincarnation Golden Pills were treasures for strengthening the True Spirit, and one of the ingredients was the True Spirit Fruit grown in the Primordial Realm.
The most effective Reincarnation Golden Pills were said to be able to resolve the Tribulation World.
Reincarnation Golden Pills were usually impossible to buy, and this time they were open for sale, but the merit cost was terrifyingly high, requiring 800 billion to exchange for one.
Otherwise, Han Chuchen's Tribulation World could have been resolved directly.
"Can do, which two types do you want to exchange for."
"Twenty Life Origin Pills, two hundred Earth Core Origin Pills." Zhao Xing said.
"The exchange cost is two hundred twenty million merits; do you confirm the exchange?"
"I confirm." Zhao Xing nodded.
Life Origin Pills corresponded to the Self-School path, and Earth Core Origin Pills corresponded to the Terrestrial Benefit School path.
His Self-School path was almost at its limit, and twenty pills were about enough.
The Origin of the Terrestrial Benefit School was not yet perfect, so he had to buy more.
Emperor Chenjiu pointed at his chest, and fluorescent light flickered, and a red sandalwood medicine cabinet with mysterious patterns appeared before them.
Zhao Xing recognized this; it was a physician's medicine cabinet, also a type of storage space implement.
Although it only had nine drawers, there were many star-like buttons on it. The same drawer cabinet might be subdivided into hundreds of millions of types of medicinal materials, and the things pulled out each time were different.
Even if others got the medicine cabinet, without the password, they could at most take away the medicinal materials in the nine drawers.
"This medicine cabinet is not encrypted; the top left and the second right are what you want." Emperor Chenjiu said: "However, you must be careful; the Golden Pills must be taken once taken out, otherwise the medicinal effect will decrease. If you can't handle it, don't take out too many at once."
"Thank you for the reminder, Emperor."
"Are there any other exchange needs?"
"Not for now."
Palace Master Jiujue had not yet refined the Origin Golden Pills of the Heavenly Time School.
He didn't know if it was because the Heavenly Time School didn't have a super faction.
But even if there were, Zhao Xing hadn't learned the Great Supernatural Power of the Heavenly Time method and couldn't channel the Origin of the Golden Pills, so he couldn't handle it even if he bought it.
In addition, he planned to save some merits to send Ji Si to the 【Imperial Star Luck Palace】 for further studies; the Empire's Fate Dao was also very awesome, and obtaining the first divination at Shifang Mountain was proof.
Ji Si had always been self-taught through wild methods, and Master Zhao had long wanted Ji Si to complete a systematic growth.
Now was the time, but there was no need to tell Emperor Chenjiu about such a request.
He would just handle it with the Empire's military department after Ji Si recovered.
"Whoosh~"
Emperor Chenjiu disappeared quickly after finishing the business.
There were still many places for him to deliver goods, and he wouldn't waste a moment.
"Zhao Xing, I was originally going to advise you to buy Earth Core Origin Pills, but you are quite confident, actually buying two hundred Earth Core Origin Pills in one go." Emperor Lushan laughed: "Even I only ate eighty-nine pills back then."
"This disciple is just being prepared." Zhao Xing said.
"Very good, now you can also properly learn the secret techniques of our Primordial Hill." Emperor Lushan said, "Originally, the cultivation techniques of the Primordial Hill in the Empire all require merits to purchase."
"However, I came here this time to tell you good news: the Elders of the Three Realms and Twelve Mountains have all agreed to open all the unique skills of the Primordial Hill to you, and the corresponding supporting cultivation resources are completely free!"
Completely free?
Zhao Xing's heart skipped a beat.
"Master Uncle, is this true?!"
Happiness came too suddenly.
Zhao Xing had expected that the Primordial Hill would give certain benefits because of his theory, but he didn't expect the benefits to be so great!
The benefits brought by writing the theory to brush up on reputation completely exceeded Zhao Xing's expectations.
You must know that when he purchased the first layer of the Extreme Land in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, the supporting resources consumed more than half of the funds he had at the time.
The cultivation techniques and supernatural powers he learned in the Primordial Realm were also purchased with points he had painstakingly saved up like an ant moving house, by breaking through levels like the Primordial Ocean and the Wind and Thunder Gorge with multiple clones.
The Primordial Hill was now giving them away for free!
It was simply too surprising!
"Hahaha, of course it's true." Master Lushan was very satisfied with Zhao Xing's expression. "Whatever you want to learn, I have brought it all; the full series of spells and unique skills, Master Hongshan and I can basically teach you seven or eight out of ten, and the cultivation technique combined with the consumption of the Golden Pills will ensure your Terrestrial Benefit Origin is perfected without any problems."
"Of course, if you want to practice more profound ones that require special venues, then you still have to go to the Primordial Hill; we can't move the earth veins of the Yuan-Gu Realm, Dao-Xian Realm, and Primordial Realm over here."
"It's enough, it's enough, Master Uncle." Zhao Xing said excitedly, "Thank you, Master Uncle!!! Thank you to the Elders of the Primordial Hill!!"
In the development of the Desolate Domain ancient road, Haitong Envoys below the first level are responsible for specific daily work.
First-level Haitong Envoys only need to handle emergencies and can replace any position at critical moments.
Now that the problem of the Layered Boundary Mountains is no longer a difficulty, Emperor Hongshan simply gave Zhao Xing, this Haitong Envoy, a vacation, instructing him to focus on cultivation at the Jia-Chen Pass and just send a clone over to put on a show.
Thus, Zhao Xing began to take the Golden Pills at the Jia-Chen Fourteenth Pass and practice the Terrestrial Benefit method.
Emperor Lushan prepared very fully for Zhao Xing: Earth Splitting Method, Profound Earth Method, Earth Palace Method, Mountain Law, Earth Connection Method, Earth Hidden Method... there was nothing Zhao Xing couldn't learn that he didn't have.
The supporting resources were also prepared very perfectly; although he didn't really move the ancient earth veins of the Three Realms, he prepared several top-tier earth veins to carry on his body.
Zhao Xing's cultivation could be described as a luxury configuration, the kind that would make all Terrestrial Benefit School Agricultural Officials envious.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, three hundred fifty-two years had passed.
Jia-Chen Fourteenth Pass, Crystal Island.
On a mountain peak with a unique shape, like a sheep's horn, a seven-colored giant stone suddenly exploded, golden light filling the sky, attracting Emperor Lushan's gaze:
"It only took three hundred fifty-two years for the Terrestrial Benefit Origin to reach the true realm of perfection; wonderful!"
"Truly the Holy Son born in response to the times of our Primordial Hill!"
