Chapter 443: You are still the most despicable

The outside world was bustling, with countless challengers.

But Zhao Xing had already completed the procedures for moving into Coral City, put away the Void Straw Man, and entered Gu Luohe's inner world to cultivate.

Gu Luohe's inner world, the sixth cultivation site.

Withered bamboo leaves covered the earth, and as the gale blew, the withered leaves flew, revealing hard mountain rocks.

The withered yellow bamboo stalks were scattered, completely losing their vitality.

Zhao Xing stood on the mountain peak, unfolding his Dao Field and Origin Space, covering the mountaintop.

The next second, the breath of life revived from the mountain.

The black mountain body was gradually covered by green, and the vivid vitality seemed to add a layer of bright color to the entire world.

As time passed, bamboo shoots broke through the mountain rocks, erupting with astonishing vitality, even pushing the mountain rocks to the sky.

The mountain rocks hovered somewhere in the sky, forming the outline of Gu Luohe.

"Zhao Xing."

"Teacher."

Zhao Xing stopped his movements upon hearing this and looked up at the sky.

Gu Luohe: "The second step of the Life Dao, Life Revival,

you have completely mastered; there is no need to stay here anymore."

Zhao Xing: "It is all thanks to the teacher's teaching, using Golden-Horn Bamboo to demonstrate the explosive power of the Life Dao, which is why the student was able to comprehend it so quickly."

"The teacher is like a master life painter, and these Golden-Horn Bamboo are the paintings that pass on the Dao."

The explosive power of bamboo-type troop species is very strong, making them excellent reference objects for the Dao.

However, normal bamboo-type life could not possibly have such a good comprehension effect.

Because there are thousands of worldly prosperities, and when the universe enters the 【Myriad Phenomena Stage】, heavy appearances cover the essence of the Dao.

Being in this period, even if a practitioner is exceptionally talented, their comprehension is not as fast as when they are in the Origin Period or the Primordial Period.

Only a powerhouse like Gu Luohe can transform the essence of life, removing the appearances of prosperity, allowing people to see the essence of the Dao directly.

That is why Zhao Xing said that the bamboo planted by Gu Luohe was like a painter's paintings that pass on the Dao.

"Go to the seventh cultivation site." Gu Luohe ignored Zhao Xing's flattery and, after speaking, moved Zhao Xing to the seventh cultivation site.

"Thank you, Teacher."

In 1776 years, Zhao Xing had also gotten used to it.

Gu Luohe really didn't have a single word of nonsense apart from cultivation matters.

"Coming to the seventh cultivation site means comprehending the third step of the Life Dao."

"I don't know what this third step is."

Zhao Xing looked at the new site.

Below was a standard circular land, about 3 Boundary Units, planted with seven-colored flowers.

As the wind blew, the sea of seven-colored flowers rippled, and a large area fell over.

When the seven-colored flowers fell, they withered instantly.

Then a brighter sea of flowers flashed and fell.

In the end, only one seven-colored flower remained in the center of the circular land.

All other places lost their color.

"Three Boundary Units of seven-colored flowers, and in the end, only this one remains."

Zhao Xing immediately landed on the center and unfolded his Dao Field and Origin Projection, beginning to comprehend.

Three years later, Zhao Xing, who had been motionless, stood up and left the seven-colored flower.

"The current size of the Hunyuan World is only 2.5 Star Boundary Units, and it still cannot completely cover this place."

"I simply cannot figure out anything from this magical phenomenon."

"Never mind, the true self will go out first to digest the points from the sweep."

Zhao Xing took out the talisman and immediately left Gu Luohe's inner world.

... Since becoming a Coral-level member, Zhao Xing had moved to another place—Coral City.

The Primordial Divine Tree has a total of nine huge leaves, and Coral City is located in the middle leaf area of the Primordial Divine Tree.

Zhao Xing's Void Straw Man swept up about 3.7 billion points, and now was the time to use them.

"3.7 billion points is almost scraping all the benefits that can be scraped at the current stage; unless my identity level is further improved, there won't be any resources with short-term effects."

Above Coral City, there is another well-known residential area called Thousand-Star City.

Corresponding to two identity levels: Thousand-Star-level member, Primordial Envoy.

Thousand-Star-level members are named after the Thousand-Star Vine winding around the Primordial Divine Tree.

Thousand-Star-level members are basically Reincarnation Realm experts, with only a few Dao Domain Realm experts.

Primordial Envoys are at least at the Reincarnation Emperor level, and they must be extremely outstanding in one aspect, making other Emperors convinced, before they can become Primordial Envoys.

The Five Poisons Emperor is only a Thousand-Star Ninth Stage member because there is more than one Emperor-level expert who specializes in poison seeds, but there is no second Zuo Zuo Qiyu.

As for a figure like Gu Luohe, he doesn't have any identity level; his name is the identity level.

【Coral-level member Zhao Xing, you have consumed 3.7 billion points to formulate a two-hundred-year closed cultivation plan.】

【This consumption includes purchased physical resources and unique cultivation treasure lands.】

【Based on your application, you will enter the no-disturb mode, meaning that even if you enter public cultivation treasure lands like the Hundred-Ren Void, you will not be seen by anyone.】

【Please confirm execution.】

"Confirm."

The moment Zhao Xing confirmed on the Star Mirror.

"Hum~"

Emperor Chen Jiu, flickering with silver light, descended from the sky.

"Greetings, Emperor Chen Jiu."

Zhao Xing cupped his hands.

Emperor Chen Jiu waved his hand, and a ring appeared: "These are the things you want; for the next two hundred years, I will be responsible for your itinerary."

"Thank you, Emperor."

Zhao Xing reached out and took it.

From now on, he will enter the single-player mode; ordinary people will not be able to disturb Zhao Xing's cultivation at all, and even if he goes to places like the Primordial Dao Treasury, the Hundred-Ren Void, or the Primordial Ocean, no one will see him or come to bother him.

Unless their level is higher than Emperor Chen Jiu's.

Of course, Emperor Chen Jiu's appearance is not just to ensure he isn't disturbed.

Zhao Xing's 3.7 billion points include many ingestible resources.

Taking a large amount of resources in a short period of time could still lead to accidents, and with Emperor Chen Jiu, a differentiated body of the Great Evolution Divine Soldier, protecting him, nothing will happen.

"Emperor, I am starting."

"Hmm." Emperor Chen Jiu nodded.

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

Primordial Realm, on the top-level sun star, an ice coffin floated in the solar flame flow.

Swish~

Emperor Chen Jiu beckoned, and the ice coffin detached from the solar flame flow, and Zhao Xing walked out of it.

"Zhao Xing, your cultivation plan has ended." Emperor Chen Jiu said. "From now on, I will no longer protect your path."

"Thank you, Emperor."

Zhao Xing cupped his hands, and the next moment Emperor Chen Jiu disappeared.

In the new Huailiu Courtyard of Coral City.

Zhao Xing opened the panel to check his information.

【Name: Zhao Xing】【Realm: Great Divine Ability Realm】

【Profession: Si Nong】

【Dao Field: Sun Seventh Stage】

【Soul: Yin-Yang Dao Domain Realm】

【Luck: Yan Thirteen (Five Emperor Money bonus Second Stage)】

【Age: 6210】

【Remaining Lifespan: 2.9 Epochs】

"Sun Seventh Stage, my Dao Field has finally become stronger." Zhao Xing looked at the level of his Dao Field and felt a bit relieved.

Originally, it was because his Dao Field was weak that he had always been unable to compare with the top geniuses of the Primordial Assembly.

Now, Zhao Xing had finally caught up with the progress of top geniuses in terms of Dao Field.

And with a strong Dao Field, the World Technique 'Yin-Yang Division' had also transformed.

【Yin-Yang Division: Great Divine Ability Seventh Stage】

【Five-Finger Mountain: Great Divine Ability Seventh Stage】

【Giant Yang Revival: Great Divine Ability Third Stage】

【Void Straw Man: Great Divine Ability Third Stage】

【Great Dream Marsh: Great Divine Ability Third Stage】

【Stem-Fighting Immortal: Great Divine Ability Third Stage】

【Perfect-level Small Divine Ability: Slaughter Thought Blade, Treasure Mountain Divine Ability, Extract-Origin Divine Ability, Purple Light Eight Epochs, Three Gods Life Palace, Soul Heavenly Vision, Divine Fire Turtle Transformation, Five Elements Heavenly Kitchen】

【Hunyuan World: Second Layer 2%】

"Six Great Divine Abilities, five of which are classic spells of the Self Faction. They include the Heart Field Technique, World Technique, Variant Technique, and Straw Man Technique."

"The Hunyuan World has also reached the second layer, with an Origin Space exceeding 50 Star Boundary Units."

"Now, the path of the Self Faction has basically taken shape. I only need to add one auxiliary-type 'Need-Seed Technique', and there will be no other major needs."

"The framework has been built; the rest is just a matter of deepening."

"I can consider building the cultivation frameworks for the other two factions." Zhao Xing pondered.

The Earthly Benefit Technique is okay; it at least has the Great Divine Ability Five-Finger Mountain to support it, but the Heavenly Time Technique is miserable.

It doesn't have a single Great Divine Ability, and there are only three Small Divine Abilities, which are 《Divine Fire Turtle Transformation》, 《Purple Light Eight Epochs》, and 《Five Elements Heavenly Kitchen》.

The latter two, Purple Light Eight Epochs is an auxiliary divine ability, and Five Elements Heavenly Kitchen is a food-supplement spell.

Dual cultivation of the three factions, the Heavenly Time Technique and Earthly Benefit Technique don't even have a framework built.

"Now my soul is at the Yin-Yang Dao Domain Realm, and my will divine ability is guarded by the Heart Field Technique 《Great Dream Marsh》; driving the Void Straw Man technique, I don't need to worry about any problems for now."

"I can consider using one mind for multiple purposes and reconciling the Daos of the three factions."

"It is now the 1976th year since I entered the Primordial Realm; Emperor Venerable Hong Shan should have arrived too."

"Then, the first layer of 《Extreme Land》 can also be broken through."

The first layer of 《Extreme Land》 was bought in the Yuanhai Ancient Country; he had never been able to cultivate it before, but now it was different.

"Gathering Spirit into Veins."

"Guiding Veins into the Body."

"Extreme Veins Initially Formed."

With every breath Zhao Xing took, he extracted a Boundary Star-level earth vein and introduced it into his body, appearing in the spiritual energy nebula.

"The first layer of Extreme Land, the spiritual veins penetrate the entire body; my breathing rhythm has changed, as if the earth is breathing."

"However, the Yuanhai Imperial Family won't be able to refund my tuition."

Once the first layer of 《Extreme Land》 is cultivated, one can apply to enter Taigu Zhi Qiu for study.

The Yuanhai Imperial Family would refund the study fees and even have to send money.

Zhao Xing remembered that Extreme Land had cost him a large sum of money.

"Once the first layer of Extreme Land is cultivated, if there are Dao Domain Realm members of Taigu Zhi Qiu around, they will immediately sense it, and everyone has the obligation to become this person's guide." Extreme Land is equivalent to having a unique 'Earth-Communication Secret Technique', and the moment it is cultivated, it will broadcast to the surroundings, spreading through the Boundary Star and Star Land earth veins to the endless distance.

"I have already ended the single-player seclusion mode, and Emperor Chen Jiu left long ago."

"Even if the Primordial Realm's formations are strict and others can't feel it, someone of Emperor Venerable Hong Shan's level will definitely be able to discover it."

Zhao Xing also ended the Star Mirror's shielding at this moment.

Primordial Divine Tree, Left Leaf Thousand-Star City, in a leaf-bubble space.

Emperor Venerable Hong Shan sat on the floating platform on the southeast side, with his disciple Tao Yang behind him.

Opposite him were the strong 'Emperor Marquis Tian Wu' who led the team from the Origin Heavenly Palace this time, and the genius martial artist Du Yun.

In the main seat were the representatives of the Primordial Realm, the Five Poisons Emperor and Zuo Zuo Qiyu, as well as Emperor Chen Jiu.

The Reincarnation Divine Hall, the Academy, and the Wilderness Ancient Country Alliance also had their own representatives.

However, at this time, they were all besieging Emperor Marquis Tian Wu of the Origin Heavenly Palace with words.

"Emperor Marquis Tian Wu, our Wilderness Ancient Country Alliance agrees to choose geniuses from all sides for a decisive battle to determine the allocation of rights based on the results of the battle."

"However, it cannot be according to the age range you stipulated." A country lord said. "I think the chosen geniuses cannot exceed eighty thousand years of age."

"That's right, if it's according to the ten-thousand-year age range stipulated by Emperor Marquis Tian Wu, then it's unfair."

"What is the difference between eighty thousand years and one hundred thousand years?" Emperor Marquis Tian Wu smiled, "What exactly are you all fussing about?"

Two country lords immediately shut their mouths, while Emperor Venerable Hong Shan smiled slightly.

The difference between eighty thousand years and one hundred thousand years is whether Du Yun can take the field.

Emperor Marquis Tian Wu is clearly letting everyone say it out loud; they are afraid of Du Yun taking the field. Doesn't this give the Origin Heavenly Palace a lot of face?

And the country lords clearly weren't falling for it; they could say it normally, but now, to say it in person was to completely confirm Du Yun's reputation as the number one genius of the wilderness in the 2nd Epoch.

Whether he is number one or not is all wild talk; even if it is a fact, the official side cannot say it, let alone at this moment when they are fighting for power and profit.

"Everyone, we must make a decision." Emperor Marquis Tian Wu said indifferently, "After discussing for so long, this idea is the most appropriate way to handle the dispute."

"If the strong ones fight to compete for the allocation of rights this time, it might lead to deaths, and the destructive power is too great."

"If it goes wrong, a win-win situation will turn into a lose-lose situation."

"Geniuses taking the field, and the final winner occupying more resources is very reasonable, proving that we haven't wasted the resources we took! At this time, don't play any balancing games."

"Emperor Marquis Tian Wu, speak when you speak, don't talk nonsense."

Emperor Yuanding, the representative of the Reincarnation Divine Hall, was a bit dissatisfied. This guy... who is he insinuating?

"The Academy does not participate in the competition, only as a witness." An old man wearing a scholar's uniform, holding a book, stated his attitude.

"Silence!" The Five Poisons Emperor suddenly knocked on the table and said loudly: "You have argued dozens of times; it's time to listen to the opinions of the host."

"I think Emperor Marquis Tian Wu's proposal is not bad; it makes a lot of sense."

Emperor Marquis Tian Wu looked at the Five Poisons Emperor in surprise.

The remaining country lords also looked at each other in dismay.

Some of their ancient countries belonged to the younger brothers of the Red Star Empire and relied heavily on the Red Star Empire; they had originally participated in this meeting to oppose Emperor Marquis Tian Wu.

Now that the Five Poisons Emperor, this representative, suddenly agreed with Emperor Marquis Tian Wu, they were caught off guard.

Zuo Zuo Qiyu transmitted his voice to the Five Poisons Emperor and cursed directly: "Shut up, what are you doing? You were sent here to be a display piece; who told you to really fart?"

"If you agree to this method, if Du Yun takes the field, who do you plan to send to block him? Don't tell me You Beixuan; although his martial arts aptitude is not bad, he is still a cut below Du Yun."

The Five Poisons Emperor replied quickly: "No, none of them; let Zhao Xing take the field."

"You... hehe."

Seeing Zuo Zuo Qiyu speechless and laughing, the Five Poisons Emperor explained his idea: "Zhao Xing mastered the Void Straw Man, and you can control all straw men. If Zhao Xing takes the field and reveals the Void Straw Man, and you control it, what are you afraid of regarding Du Yun?"

Zuo Zuo Qiyu was stunned; it turned out the Five Poisons didn't mean a fair fight, but cheating?

"It would work, but if the matter is exposed..."

The Five Poisons immediately shook his head: "If you get him a set of Origin Body materials from the Void Ancestor Star System, is there any possibility of it being exposed?"

Zuo Zuo Qiyu blinked, and only after a long while did he say: "You are still the most despicable." ===== CHAPTER 444 =====

Seeing the speechless and wry expression on Zuo Zuo Qiyu's face, the Five Poisons Emperor immediately stated his own idea: "Zhao Xing has mastered the Grand Void Straw Man, and you are the one who can control all straw men."

"This decisive battle has no Divine Realm monitoring. If Zhao Xing enters the arena and reveals the Grand Void Straw Man, and you control it, what is there to fear from Du Yun?"

Zuo Zuo Qiyu was stunned. So, what Five Poisons was talking about wasn't a fair fight, but cheating?

"It can naturally be done, but if the matter is exposed..."

Five Poisons immediately shook his head and said: "If you get him a set of source-body materials from the Void Ancestor star system, is there still a possibility of it being exposed?"

Zuo Zuo Qiyu blinked, and only after a long while did he say: "You really are despicable."
