Chapter 450: Divine Realm Dharma, Azure Flower Magic Power!
News of Zhao Xing's critical injuries and uncertain fate remained under a partial lockdown.
The warrant issued for Wei Tianchen's arrest was also justified on the grounds of him carrying dangerous, forbidden items.
Aside from Ji Si, no one in the Great Zhou was aware of the truth.
The vast majority of the Great Zhou's main force was stationed in the Wangliang Star Sector of the Langping Path, operating alongside the Wuye Army of the Beihe Legion.
A detachment led by Xia Jing encountered an unexpected skirmish.
In the void, a star-land ten thousand miles long drifted out from the turbulent currents. Banners stood like a forest, demonic Qi surged to the heavens, and various crude siege engines were positioned at the edges of the continent. A massive number of wolf demons, clad in battle armor and wielding weapons, stood in battle formation.
They appeared with extreme suddenness; by the time Xia Jing discovered them, the distance was already dangerously close.
"It is the Demon King 'Pang Qi' of the Heavenly Demon Kingdom, in the Life-Death Dao Domain realm, with approximately eighty thousand demon soldiers," Lu Ying said, glancing ahead at the people beside him.
"Are there any Great Demon Kings of the Reincarnation realm?" Xia Jing asked.
"None," Lu Ying shook his head.
"Kill!" Xia Jing did not waste words. With a wave of his hand, countless rays of light ignited behind him, shooting out like command arrows and enveloping every soldier on the continent.
The Great Zhou's signature Blood-Qi Battle Array took shape instantly.
Above the barrier appeared a majestic, extraordinary figure—it was Xia Jing.
The Mechanist phalanx only managed to fire their Heaven-Net Cannons three times before they were forced to cease.
The skirmish escalated too quickly for large-scale Daoist soldiers to be deployed, and the situation rapidly devolved into a landing operation.
"Kill!" Long Xiao's sword case unsheathed; ten thousand golden swords formed a Lesser Thousand Sword Array. Behind him, the phalanx and about a thousand sword cultivators drew their blades in unison.
The Lesser Thousand Sword Array expanded into a Greater Thousand Sword Array.
The continent in the starry sky seemed to sprout a sharp, massive sword, taking the lead in the assault.
"Void Wind!" As soon as Long Xiao moved, the Lesser Agrarian Officer Heng Yuan immediately led the Heavenly Timing faction's Agrarian Officers behind him to unleash a group spell.
Azure vortexes emerged from the void turbulence, distributing themselves along the outer perimeter of the continent to form a Heavenly Timing defensive line.
They absorbed the demon army's siege engine attacks into the vortexes, shunting them into the depths of the void.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft~~~"
On the demon combat star-land, a group of slender, wolf-headed mages—all in the Five Elements Dao Domain realm—were responsible for the defensive barrier. At that moment, they all vomited blood, suffering backlash as the human sword cultivators breached the first layer of the barrier.
"Roar!"
The Great Demon King Pang Qi revealed his Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth. A silver-white wolf head manifested in front of the star-land, biting down on Long Xiao's azure-gold giant sword.
The offensive was immediately stalled!
"Void Wind, go!" Heng Yuan cast again. A small portion of the Void Wind transformed into azure dragons, attaching themselves to the Greater Thousand Sword Array led by Long Xiao.
Aided by the gale, the azure-gold giant sword accelerated once more, shattering seven layers of the demon army's defensive barriers in succession.
The wolf head was pierced through; the golden sword tore through all defenses, leaving a deep hole in the demon star-land.
The green barrier was punctured like an atmosphere, and the azure-gold hole provided a passage for the landing operation.
"Dark Armor Army, charge with me!"
Xia Jing roared, and the thousand Dark Armor soldiers riding giant dragons behind him responded instantly.
"Ang!!!"
The Dark Armor Army leaped from the edge of the continent, quickly diving into the passage.
In front of Lu Ying, star-mirrors sank into the ground.
Mechanical mountain peaks on the eastern continent suddenly tilted, forming drills surrounded by Yin and Yang Qi, which began to glow intensely.
After finishing this, Lu Ying felt it wasn't secure enough and stomped his foot.
A ripple traveled into the ground.
"Chen Shijie! Impact in three quarters of an hour, prepare for 'Land Sinking'!"
"Understood," Chen Shijie's voice came from underground.
As the voice arrived, the mountain rocks on the side of the continent's eastern region fell away, revealing a layer of pitch-black metal peaks.
"Damn it, they actually used eight corner peaks of the Overlapping Boundary Mountain as a star-land fortress? Did we run into the Great Zhou's main force?"
Seeing the pitch-black inverted mountain peaks sinking into the void, Pang Qi immediately realized that the two sides in this skirmish were not on the same level.
Aside from this specific Great Zhou army, no one in the Beihe Legion could integrate the Overlapping Boundary Mountain into a star-land base.
"Break out!"
Pang Qi decided immediately to abandon this small star-land base.
A large number of Dao Domain realm experts abandoned the star-land base, retracted their Dao fields, and began boarding boundary boats to flee.
"Running already? The wolf clan is truly cunning," Xia Jing sneered as he saw seven or eight boundary boats taking off from the west side of the demon star-land.
"Pursue! Don't let them escape!"
"The wealth on the main general is the real prize!"
Half a month later, in a shattered star belt. "Thump~"
The corpse of a massive silver-white celestial wolf slammed heavily into a meteorite.
Seeing Pang Qi slain, Xia Jing looked at Ye Yukong, who was missing half an arm.
"Done. Each army, report your casualties."
At this moment, Long Xiao flew onto the meteorite, his expression anxious.
"Xia Jing, have you seen Aotian and the others?"
"No, wasn't Aotian with you?" Xia Jing was puzzled.
Mountain Cat Aotian, Cangni Xiaotian, and Inverted Sheep Huantian were all fighting alongside Long Xiao.
"They're gone!" Long Xiao's face fell. "It's over. If something happened to them, how can I answer to Zhao Xing?"
"Don't worry, maybe they're just cleaning up the battlefield somewhere," Xia Jing comforted him. "They're only in the third realm of Origin; where could they run off to?"
"Woof woof!"
"Meow!"
Heavenly Demon Kingdom.
In the ancient era, the Ancestral Gods of the Heavenly Demon Kingdom, Cangyue Demon Kingdom, Wanhe Demon Kingdom, and Star-Devouring Demon Kingdom had all aligned their Dao with the Great Dao of the Xuanling Star Domain and established the rule of 'Summoning'.
When beasts broke through to the Ascension realm, Origin realm, or Dao Domain realm, a void passage would appear to ferry them to the territories of their respective demon kingdoms.
Nowadays, the effect of this summoning has weakened; basically, once they reach the Dao Domain realm, it can no longer summon spirit beasts from human territory.
At this moment, in the Langping Path, near a grayish-yellow boundary star in the Wangliang Star Sector.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~"
Three figures were chasing each other through the shattered stars when they suddenly entered a region where the spiritual energy index soared.
"Meow?" A large cat with agile limbs, a black-gold body, and a metallic texture stopped and called out in confusion.
"Woof woof?" Beside it, a large dog burning with red Qi flames and a small sheep with pink fur also stopped.
"Hum~" Suddenly, three pillars of spiritual energy condensed from the void. The energy condensed to the extreme, even beginning to form a liquid state, simultaneously pinning the mountain cat, the Cangni, and the Spirit Illusion Sheep in place.
The three pets began to break through involuntarily.
"Hum~" Suddenly, three pillars of spiritual energy condensed from the void. The spiritual energy condensed to the extreme, even beginning to form a liquid state, simultaneously pinning down the mountain cat, the Cang Ni, and the spirit illusion sheep.
The three pet beasts began to break through involuntarily.
The next moment, the light pillars extended from the depths of the void and landed on the steps of a dark red palace. The phantom images of the three pet beasts suddenly
blurred. A black goat walked out of the dark red palace; its curved horns seemed to be hung with the moon and the sun.
Looking at the phantom images within the three light pillars, it could not help but be stunned for a moment.
"How truly strange."
"What exactly is going on with that war of causality that occurred within the human race? I participated in it, so how did I end up drawing in three pet beasts?"
This black goat at the level of a Samsara Emperor could not help but fall into deep thought.
A moment later, it had a realization.
"It seems I only obtained some scraps. I wonder what those human powerhouses were even fighting over."
"Oh well, these three little fellows are at least of the demon race; I'll take them back to the Demon God Palace first."
In the City of Scholars, after Zuo Qiyu tossed Zhao Xing to the scholar responsible for receiving him, he intended to find a place to rest.
However, he soon changed his mind and said to Feng Chen again: "Wait, when will Scholar Bowei appear?"
Feng Chen replied: "The Great Elder said he will come out of seclusion in three days to first perform the first stage of ancient medical treatment on Zhao Xing to extend his lifespan."
"Oh," Zuo Qiyu said, "may I watch from the side?"
"This..." Feng Chen was taken aback.
Zuo Qiyu said: "After all, he is a genius of my Primordial Realm, and the Ancient Hill also strongly demands that his safety be guaranteed."
"It's not that I don't trust the City of Scholars, I just want to put those who care about him at ease."
Feng Chen nodded in understanding: "I can understand, but this must first be asked of Scholar Bowei."
"Fine, I will wait for your news."
The reason Zuo Qiyu changed his mind was not because of a sudden prick of conscience, but purely because Zhao Xing had found Lord Lushan to protest.
He did not want to undergo a secret treatment; at the very least, someone had to be there to observe.
To put it bluntly, deep down, Zhao Xing did not believe that the Great Elder Bowei had such good intentions.
This guy had taken in a group of the City of Scholars' expelled disciples as subordinates, and he was even secretly raising a group of demonic scholars to do his bidding.
With a person like that, if his true self were delivered into his hands without someone watching, how could he be at ease?
Under Zhao Xing's strong demand, Lord Lushan agreed to this request, and so Zuo Qiyu followed Feng Chen into the high tower inside the City of Scholars to wait.
Three days later, good news arrived.
"Zhao Xing, Bowei has agreed to let Zuo Qiyu supervise the entire
process."
"Now your true self is about to be placed into the 【Ten Cold Ice Coffin】."
"The City of Scholars' attitude is very good; I think you are overthinking it." Lord Lushan pointed to the image on the star mirror. At this moment, Feng Chen had sent people to carry the ice coffin, and they had already arrived with Zuo Qiyu in a world of ice and snow.
Snowflakes filled the sky all around, looking incomparably cold. In the world of white snow, an ice crystal corridor appeared, extending toward an ice mountain.
"What happened to my body?" Zhao Xing saw his body constantly growing larger, with many blood-colored patterns like earthworms appearing on his face.
His body was enlarging and cracking, and the wounds after splitting were dried up.
At the same time, the remnant soul of his clone also felt a wave of scorching pain.
Before the Straw Man Technique completed the great tearing of the soul, Zhao Xing's remnant soul would still be affected by the soul core.
"Zuo Qiyu relayed the City of Scholars' judgment; they say your soul is decaying."
"The magic body is not under the control of the soul and is reverting to your original physical form."
"The 【Ten Cold Ice Coffin】 is a natural divine object. Although it has gone through countless ages and its power is not what it used to be, it can suppress the True Spirit Heavenly Poison in your body and buy more time for
treatment."
"How much time can it buy?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Feng Chen said it can probably be extended to the limit of three hundred years," Lord Lushan said. "If it still cannot be solved within three hundred years, then there will be absolutely no way."
Three hundred years? Zhao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
In his previous life, he remembered that that martial artist also had this limit number.
That Qi-sect martial artist was at the level of a Samsara Emperor, while he was only at the Life and Death Dao Domain realm.
Under the True Spirit Heavenly Poison, everyone is equal.
Even with the 【Ten Cold Ice Coffin】, it could at most only delay things for 300 years.
"The True Spirit Heavenly Poison is so terrifying; I wonder what level the Desolate God Poison suppressed by Fan Qianrou is."
Thinking about it now, the Seven-Star Cabinet taken away by the Ancient Physician is indeed very dangerous.
"Wei Tianchen did not get the 'Seven Orifice Heart Sealing Technique'; I wonder if he can open the deepest layer of the Seven-Star Cabinet," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
Now that his life could be extended to three hundred years, he also had the state of mind to think about other things.
For example, obtaining the 'Seven Orifice Heart Sealing Technique' from the Seven-Star Cabinet.
"Could this be the secret technique to open the innermost layer of the Seven-Star Cabinet?"
Zhao Xing began to study it carefully.
The reality was not as he had thought.
The Seven Orifice Heart Sealing Technique did not seem to be a secret technique for opening, but a secret technique for reinforcing the seal! "Truly exquisite." Zhao Xing's remnant soul pondered the Seven Orifice Heart Sealing secret technique and immediately applauded. "This is actually a type of magic body strengthening secret technique."
"That's right, Fan Qianrou spared no effort to use her life to seal it; how could she give out a method to unseal it?"
"And she used her own seven exquisite hearts to seal the Desolate God Poison; reinforcing the seal is equivalent to strengthening her Seven Orifice Exquisite Heart."
"Of course it should be a magic body strengthening secret technique!"
Zhao Xing was very excited; a secret technique left behind by a God-realm expert would definitely be of great benefit!
A physician is of course also on the path of magic, and he could make good use of this magic body strengthening secret technique.
"If it were a martial artist's Golden Body secret technique, I really couldn't cultivate it right now, because the Void Straw Man clone is not a true physical body after all."
"Even if the true self recovers, it would at most be for reference."
"However, this is the cultivation of the magic body; it does not involve digging into the potential of the flesh and blood god. Essentially, it is a type of application of 'magic power'."
After pondering for a few months, Zhao Xing had some preliminary understanding.
"This body of mine is a Void clone used by Zuo Qiyu; in terms of material grade, it's not much different from the one I blew up."
"It's just that the structure is a bit different."
Having cultivated the same Straw Man Great Dao, Zhao Xing's remnant soul could reside within the Void Straw Man body, but to truly control it, he still had to make some adjustments.
Over the next few months, Zhao Xing focused his attention on transforming the Straw Man body into his own shape until he had complete control.
After reaching the point of complete control, he began to study the Seven Orifice Heart Sealing Technique.
"Hum~"
When Zhao Xing began to flip through the memories of the Seven Orifice Heart Sealing Technique and officially began to cultivate, his remnant soul seemed to have arrived in another space-time.
A touch of white light appeared, and then it began to precipitate into seven colors, like seven great rivers, beginning to constantly branch out.
"The first step of the Seven Orifice Heart Sealing Technique is to master this kind of 'seven-colored magic power'?"
"It's too profound. I feel that the single-colored magic power contains infinite Great Daos: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, time, space, light, darkness, death, life... it seems to contain everything."
"Is this the unique learning of the God realm?"
"Divine power is truly a level unreachable by humans."
Zhao Xing's heart could not calm down.
At this moment, his feeling was probably equivalent to a mortal seeing the magnificent scene of the universe clearly for the first time; he couldn't understand it, but he was greatly shocked.
"Calm down!"
Zhao Xing took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart. He detached himself from the shock and looked up at the star mirror again, discovering that two and a half years had already passed.
"The techniques left behind by the God realm are too profound. I only indulged for a moment, and so much time has passed. If I were to completely immerse myself, it probably wouldn't be a good thing."
Dao techniques are too profound; pondering them consumes mental energy, and it is very easy to make one's heart and mind wither and die.
The power of the remnant soul is not strong to begin with; facing this secret technique, Zhao Xing must be cautious.
This secret technique of Fan Qianrou also contains the Great Dao of Causality; he couldn't describe it, let alone speak of it. Suppose the remnant soul also had an accident; others probably wouldn't even be able to find the reason.
"Seven-colored magic power contains thousands of Great Daos; I cannot ponder it blindly; I must find a method."
The Seven Orifice Heart Sealing Technique left behind by Fan Qianrou assumes the discoverer is also a God-realm expert, so there is no analysis or teaching at all; it is just packed and delivered all at once.
If one were a God-realm expert, one could naturally easily understand and learn it, using it to strengthen her last exquisite heart.
It completely did not consider the situation where the recipient is only at the Life and Death Dao Domain realm.
"Thousands of Great Daos, take only one scoop!"
"Thanks to the cultivation of the Ancient Luo River, what I am best at is the Life
Great Dao!"
"I should use the single Life Great Dao to ponder the secret technique."
"If pondering Fan Qianrou's Seven Orifice Heart Sealing Technique is solving a great difficult problem, then I will choose to solve it with the Life Great Dao."
"Using this to understand all of her secret techniques."
Having determined the direction, Zhao Xing leveled his mindset and began to ponder once again.
He discarded all perception of external Daos, leaving only the perception of the Life Great Dao, and once again threw himself into pondering.
White divine power flashed like light, and after freezing before his eyes, it began to separate into seven colors.
The seven-colored magic power was like a torrent, majestically separating, and soon Zhao Xing's eyes became a world of magic power.
Opening his eyes once again, Zhao Xing discovered that another two and a half years had passed in the outside world.
At this time, more scholars had appeared beside the Ten Cold Ice Coffin, seemingly pointing at his true self, seemingly studying the treatment plan.
【You pondered the 'Seven Orifice Heart Sealing Technique' and gained 1 point of proficiency.】
【Seven Orifice Heart Sealing Technique: Magic Power Chapter】
【Progress: 1/???】
The remnant soul could of course also see the panel. Zhao Xing looked at the record and could not help but reveal a smile.
"Not bad, the direction is correct." "Although in the end the seven-colored magic power still spread throughout the world, leaving me with no way to start and increasing the consumption of my heart and mind, this is not a problem of direction, but the reason that my remnant soul is too weak."
The soul power of the remnant soul is of course not as strong as that of the true self; although the quality is the same, the quantity is too small.
"At first I could still ponder with the Life Great Dao, but the remnant soul couldn't bear it, so it quickly fell into chaos."
The chaotic state of pondering refers to seeming to have understood a lot of information, but in reality, it is not organized at all, without a single useful point.
To put it bluntly, it was spending time but working blindly.
In addition, a question mark appeared on the upper limit of proficiency, proving that the level of this magic technique is too high and the limit is also too high.
The progress bar also represents the approximate time to learn a magic technique, and according to the current situation.
1 point of proficiency took five years; with Zhao Xing's lifespan, he probably wouldn't be able to learn it until he died.
"If I don't solve this problem, I'm afraid I'll never be able to learn it." Zhao Xing pondered. He soon thought of three methods.
"One, take soul-type treasures, such as the Soul Spirit Fruit of the Primordial Realm, which can be used to serve as a supplement for consumption."
"Two, continue to cultivate the 'Samsara' secret technique given by Qing Yuzi to improve the resilience of the remnant soul; this might allow me to persist longer."
"Three, will-power techniques. I was dazzled by the thousands of Great Daos;
this can also be considered a test of will. Improving the mind and will, reducing the consumption of heart and mind, naturally I can also persist longer."
After thinking it over, Zhao Xing finally excluded the second one.
Because at this time the City of Scholars' treatment of him had already begun, and cultivating the 'Samsara' secret technique might have unknown effects on the true self.
After all, the True Spirit Heavenly Poison in the true self itself involves the soul.
Even if he was guarding against Bowei and didn't want him to know that a remnant soul was still left outside, he shouldn't cause trouble for the other party; his little life still depended on them to save it.
Besides, Lord Lushan, the Five Poisons Emperor, and the others might not necessarily agree to him messing around.
"It is only natural that you want the Soul Spirit Fruit; there is nothing to say about the remnant soul replenishing soul power to maintain stability."
"But why do you want to cultivate will-power divine abilities?" Lord Lushan was puzzled. "Now that you finally have hope of living, don't mess around."
Zhao Xing talked for a long time, but Lord Lushan would not agree no matter what.
Helpless, he had to bring out his trump card.
"Master Uncle, the poison that this disciple has contracted—even the City of Scholars has only had one case, and the hope of success is very slim."
"If the disciple cannot be saved after three hundred years, perhaps I will disappear completely."
"The 【Ten Cold Ice Coffin】 is now beginning to affect my clone soul, and the disciple's thinking is a bit sluggish. I don't want to spend the next three hundred years in such a muddled state."
"Master Uncle, I want to write some more legal treatises in the final time of my life, striving to complete the 'Theory of Dao Manifestation and Earthly Changes in the Universe', and make a meager contribution to the Ancient Hill..."
"Theory of the Origin of the Cenozoic Overlapping Boundary Mountains" and "Eight Methods of Earthly Changes in the Zhao Family Earth Chronicle" are all legal treatises in the book "Theory of Dao Manifestation and Earthly Changes in the Universe". Lord Lushan naturally knew Zhao Xing's scheme.
However, for a legal treatise to be written and collected, there is a very long road to travel.
Originally Zhao Xing had hope of completing it, but now...
Zhao Xing's rhetoric almost brought tears to Lord Lushan's eyes.
What a good seedling; even before death, he was thinking of writing Earthly Change legal treatises and shining for the Ancient Hill.
Yet now he had been harmed like this by Wei Tianchen!
Looking at Zhao Xing's weak appearance, Lord Lushan's hatred for the Ancient Physician lineage was hard to wash away even if he poured out all the four seas.
With red eyes, he said: "Fine, Master Uncle promises you. Whatever you want, I will go and find it for you."
"However, you must not speak of death again. The City of Scholars' Great Elder Bowei can surpass scholars of the past and present; you definitely have hope of living!"
"Yes," Zhao Xing bowed respectfully, "the disciple will strive to live on."
Lord Lushan became Zhao Xing's buyer. When Zhao Xing wanted Soul Spirit Trees, he directly transplanted one hundred peak-period Soul Spirit Trees from the Five Poisons Emperor to Crystal Island.
They were planted in the space on Crystal Island where Zhao Xing's remnant soul was recuperating.
When Zhao Xing wanted will-power divine abilities, he immediately made rubbings of many precious will-power secret techniques from the treasuries of the Ancient Hill, the Primordial Realm, the Source Heavenly Palace, and the Samsara Divine Temple.
Given the state of the remnant soul, every secret technique Lord Lushan chose was carefully selected; it might not be the strongest, but it was definitely the most suitable for Zhao Xing's current needs.
A dignified Samsara Emperor taking care of him so thoughtfully, Zhao Xing was also filled with gratitude in his heart. After surviving, he would definitely repay Lord Lushan's kindness.
But now it was impossible for him to really go and study legal treatises; instead, he went to solve the Seven Orifice Heart Sealing Technique.
Intuition told Zhao Xing that learning this secret technique was more important.
The cultivation speed of the remnant soul began to increase slightly in the fifth year, and in the eighth year, Zhao Xing obtained the second point of proficiency.
The infinite replenishment of Soul Spirit Fruit only allowed Zhao Xing to be just a little bit faster when facing this divine technique.
However, in the thirtieth year, Zhao Xing had a new harvest.
"My mind and will, through the tempering of various techniques, have
already reached the peak of the first stage; this is the top level for someone who has just entered the Samsara realm."
"Life and Death Dao Domain realm, possessing 10 realms of magic power, first-stage mind and will."
"Except for the soul not yet having transformed into the True Spirit level and not having cultivated the reincarnation technique, it is almost no different from an ordinary Samsara realm expert," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "However, facing this divine technique, it is still not enough."
"Only when the mind and will reach the peak of the second stage, or even the third stage, will my cultivation speed have a significant increase."
"If the true self were intact, there would be many ways to accelerate the promotion of mind and will, but now, one cannot be anxious."
Zhao Xing realized that to learn the divine technique, the stronger the mind and will, the better.
But now, his mind and will breakthrough speed was already considered very fast, so Zhao Xing leveled his mindset and no longer asked for more.
In the fifty-fifth year, the City of Scholars' Great Elder Bowei finally appeared before the 【Ten Cold Ice Coffin】.
This was his first appearance, returning from the eighth Dharma realm.
It also meant that the treatment of the true self had entered an important stage.
"Primordial Envoy." Bowei looked at Zuo Qiyu, who was supervising on the side.
"Great Elder." Zuo Qiyu bowed to Bowei.
Although Bowei was younger than him, five years ago, Bowei had already announced that he could enter the eighth Dharma realm!
This meant that Bowei had become the first great scholar of the new generation in nearly a hundred epochs capable of entering the eighth Dharma realm.
Such a Great Elder could be regarded as a demigod, having a status equal to a demigod!
"The preliminary preparations for treating Zhao Xing have been completed; next, I will take him into the eighth Dharma realm." Bowei's smile was very warm, making people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze, and he had very strong affinity.
"It is not convenient for the envoy to enter the eighth Dharma realm; please understand."
"Great Elder, please go ahead."
Zuo Qiyu had absolutely no reason to object.
The eighth Dharma realm is the core important area of the City of Scholars, and historically only the Great Elder could enter.
Taking Zhao Xing in was already an exception for the City of Scholars.
They had come to beg the City of Scholars to save a person; how could they raise any rude requests?
"Good, then please let the envoy go to the residence to rest. If there is good news, I will send someone to notify you at the first opportunity."
"Envoy, please." Feng Chen led the way for Zuo Qiyu.
At this point, the surveillance of the star mirror ended.
After Zuo Qiyu left, Bowei glanced at Zhao Xing in the 【Ten Cold Ice Coffin】, waved his hand, and disappeared from the spot along with the ice coffin.
From this year on, Zhao Xing could no longer see the situation of his true self. For a month or two, he fell into an inexplicable panic.
Because Bowei opening the eighth Dharma realm was a sign of the first stage of the Scholar God's descent.
He didn't know if he had already been chosen by Bowei and forced to participate.
A sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart; inexplicable irritability made him almost completely unable to cultivate for two months, and he was constantly in a state of unease.
It wasn't until two months later, when Zhao Xing inadvertently heard news about Ji Si, knowing that he had entered the 'Causal Realm' to cultivate and had become an official disciple of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, that his closed state was slightly stabilized.
"There is great fear between life and death!" Recalling his state of mind over the past two months, Zhao Xing could not help but sigh endlessly. "Aren't these two months a kind of state-of-mind cultivation? And I am not as unafraid of death as I imagined."
It is easy to see others clearly, but difficult to see oneself clearly.
After experiencing the disconnection from his true self and the fear of the unknown, Zhao Xing's state of mind broke through once again, reaching the second-stage level.
From the sixtieth year on, his cultivation further accelerated.
At this time, the seven-colored magic power could no longer make his remnant soul feel dazed.
How much time and energy one spent, one could get that much return.
In the one-hundredth year, Zhao Xing's mind and will reached the middle level of the second stage from the beginning level of the second stage.
Pondering the seven-colored magic power with the Life Great Dao, the proficiency had already accumulated to 39 points.
In the two-hundred-and-ninth year, his mind and will reached the peak of the second stage from the middle level of the second stage!
At this time, the proficiency had already reached 100 points.
The moment the proficiency reached 100 points, Zhao Xing's remnant soul suddenly shook.
The colors of the entire world faded, leaving only cyan magic power blooming in the sky.
Zhao Xing joyfully opened his eyes and looked at the Qi Sea position of the Straw Man body.
A wisp of cyan magic power swirled, blooming like a flower.
"Finally succeeded!"
The Cyan Flower magic power was only a single wisp, but it domineeringly repelled the original magic power within Zhao Xing's Straw Man body.
There was a feeling of either being assimilated or being destroyed. "Transform!"
Zhao Xing ate a Soul Spirit Fruit in one bite, enhancing his control over magic power, while simultaneously transforming the magic power in his body into Cyan Flower magic power.
"Boom~"
The vast ordinary magic power rotated around the Cyan Flower magic power.
Within three breaths, the transformation was complete.
Zhao Xing could not help but be stunned.
"This Void clone of mine has half the magic power value of the true self; a full five realms of magic power used to transform into Cyan Flower magic power, and it actually only formed two wisps?"
What kind of concept is this? If Zhao Xing's five realms of magic power were fighting a veteran Samsara realm expert, it would be enough to support him for ten days or half a month to exhaust it.
If the transformation is regarded as a single spell casting, used to transform into Cyan Flower magic power, it was exhausted in just three breaths!
"The technique left behind by Fan Qianrou is worthy of being a divine technique. In this way, when my magic body is full of Cyan Flower magic power, just in terms of the thickness of magic power, wouldn't it be comparable to the Emperor level?"
Facts proved that Zhao Xing thought too much. After he replenished spiritual energy and transformed it into ordinary magic power, he could not perform the transformation again. Because the remnant soul could not control more magic power.
However, Zhao Xing was not disappointed.
"This is not a problem with the secret technique; it is my problem!"
"My remnant soul's soul power is ultimately too weak, and my will is also too weak, so I cannot control a third wisp."
"Right, let's try its power first."
Zhao Xing's recuperation space had no combat power testing equipment, but the Void Straw Man body itself was a kind of test target.
He removed a rib from the body; the rib material was also at the level of a top-grade Source Divine Weapon.
"Swish~"
Zhao Xing threw the rib out and then used ordinary magic power to cast 【Five Finger Mountain】.
The rib was unharmed, only pressed into deformation.
It is impossible for Source Divine Weapon materials to be destroyed by the Dao Domain realm; top-grade materials are difficult to destroy even for Lord-level Samsara realm experts, and one must borrow stronger tools, which is also very normal.
The second time, Zhao Xing used a wisp of Cyan Flower magic power.
"Boom!"
Before the Five Finger Mountain had completely fallen, the rib collapsed inch by inch and finally shattered into a pile of powder!
"Hiss!" Zhao Xing could not help but gasp, "It's also using Five Finger Mountain, yet Cyan Flower magic power can easily crush top-grade Source Divine Weapon materials?"
"I have only mastered the fur of one of the seven-colored magic powers; what if I learn them all?"
"Wei Tianchen, you really caught me well! Hahaha!!"
End of Chapter
