Chapter 457: Rewards Received, Second Origin Realm Perfection!

【Profound Yellow Past · Forty-Six】

【... Ever 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 soon began to go downhill.】

【In less than twenty short years, the 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 Huang Huang Jian, couldn't read the Book of Destiny, couldn't put on the Five Emperor Armor... And this can be called an Emperor?】

【... Watching the Great Zhou constantly 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, but it was the Great Zhou after all.】

【Although I discovered that someone was spying on me and the House of Eras might not be safe, I still intended to do so.】

【However, a miracle happened. Ji Hong's fourteenth princess, Ji Luoheng, actually received the recognition of the Huang Huang Jian 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 only let Xiao Wu Yue put a few idle books in her bedroom. She actually learned all my supernatural powers, discovered the tunnel sealed by the Great Si Nong 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 old events of the Wu Di period, as well as the method of ascension.】

【I told her about the heroic deeds of the Wu Di and the Great Si Nong back then, and she was also very yearning for the outside world after hearing them.】

【Like Ji Hong, she also invited me to help her ascend together to pursue the footsteps of the ancestors.】

【This time, I was a bit shaken.】

【...】

Wang Wang Tianzhi wrote to this point and 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, he would have a feeling of fatigue.

Could it be that he was old? Was his lifespan coming to an end?

That shouldn't be. Not to mention that he was in the House of Eras, his own lifespan should be enough to support him for a long time.

Why?

Wang Wang Tianzhi lay on the bed, staring at the stars in the sky in a daze.

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 Wang Tianzhi slowly fell into a dream.

"Wang Wang Tianzhi~"

"Wang Wang Tianzhi~ It's me!"

Wang 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 Wang Tianzhi~ Hurry and remember, remember~"

The voice still echoed, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity welled up in his heart. He always felt that this was someone he was very familiar with.

Finally, Wang Wang Tianzhi couldn't resist his curiosity and actively radiated energy with his Karma Soul. The omnipresent karma lines pursued the source of the voice.

At a certain moment, a large amount of memory surged from Wang 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 Wang Tianzhi.

"Ji Si? Lord Ji? Is that you?"

"It is me." Ji Si's figure nodded. "Lord Wang, long time no see."

"Did you come back to pick me up? His Majesty, and the Great Si Nong, are they doing well?" Wang Wang Tianzhi choked with sobs.

"Lord Wang, please recall carefully. The answers to your questions are all in history."

Wang Wang Tianzhi closed his eyes in the dream and soon received all the information transmitted by Ji Si.

Time was very long, spanning more than 4,600 years, covering every scene of the Great Zhou Wu Di's experience after setting off from the Profound Yellow Realm and flying out of the Desolate Domain.

Wang Wang Tianzhi watched from a third-party perspective for a long time.

Finally, the screen froze in an exquisite private room. Yun Tiandao, Liu Liu Tianning, Zhao Xing, the Wu Di, and Ji Si were all in this room.

"Lord Wang, we have not perished, but have gained a firm foothold in the universe."

"Now, you maintain the same movements as me, and I will let you talk to the Great Si Nong."

"Yes, yes." Wang Wang Tianzhi came back to his senses and subconsciously tidied his clothes. "I am already prepared."...

Jia-Chen Fourteenth Pass, inside an independent cultivation space.

Ji Si, who had been closing his eyes, suddenly opened the eye on his forehead.

"Eye of Destiny," this was a dual-method great supernatural power created by Ji Si himself.

After his eye opened, a figure in white fluttering clothes appeared inside—it was Wang Wang Tianzhi. At the same time, his eyes radiated a ghostly light, also reflecting Zhao Xing's eyes inside.

"Wang Wang Tianzhi, pays respects to the Great Si Nong!!!"

Zhao Xing quickly squatted down to help Wang Wang Tianzhi up, sighing with emotion: "Brother, do not perform such a great salute. His Majesty and I failed to pick you up on time, so what kind of Great Si Nong am I?"

"Brother Wang has worked hard. It is I who should plead guilty to you. The universe is extremely dangerous, and we had bitter reasons for not being able to return home. I hope you can understand."

Wang Wang Tianzhi's eyes were filled with hot tears, and he shook his head constantly: "Great Si Nong, I have not worked hard, I have not worked hard..."

Watching this scene, Ji Si was also very moved, but he had to interrupt: "Great Si Nong, Lord Wang, my Eye of Destiny cannot hold on for 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 Wang Tianzhi listened quietly until the end. His expression gradually became surprised because the reason Zhao Xing said they couldn't return was because of Qing Qing Yu Zi's warning, and Qing Qing Yu Zi had actually become a God Realm practitioner?

At this time, Wang Wang Tianzhi already had some understanding of the universe system and major forces. Listening to what Zhao Xing said, he was shocked beyond measure.

"Great Si Nong, you must not return, it is very dangerous!" Wang Wang Tianzhi...

... blurted out!

"Hmm?" Zhao Xing was startled, not understanding why Wang Wang Tianzhi was suddenly so excited.

"Great Si Nong, I am already at the Dao Domain Realm! The hometown has undergone drastic changes in these 4,600 years. This is no longer the hometown it once was!"

"What?!!!" A look of shock appeared in Zhao Xing's eyes. He grabbed Wang Wang Tianzhi's hand: "Make it clear, what exactly is the situation."

"I can't hold on!" Ji Si shouted.

The distance between Wang Wang Tianzhi and Zhao Xing became infinitely far away.

However, the moment Zhao Xing grabbed Wang Wang Tianzhi's arm, Wang Wang Tianzhi transmitted all the content of the "Profound Yellow Past" series he had recorded.

"Boom!"

Ji Si's third eye exploded, his face was bloody and blurred, 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 situation.

"Ji Si, how are you?"

"Great Si Nong, I can't die yet, it's just that my lifespan has been lost by 100,000 years, and the great supernatural power Eye of Destiny has also been crippled." The flesh and blood on Ji Si's face condensed rapidly, and his voice was hoarse.

Zhao Xing couldn't help but gasp. Ji Si was already at the Yin-Yang Dao Domain Realm. Just passing a message could cause such heavy injuries?

"You take my token to the Jia-Chen Pass medical base for treatment. Whatever tonic, whatever treasure that can recover... just use it all."

"As for the hometown, let's not contact it for the time being. The lifespan of the Dao Domain Realm cannot withstand such consumption." Zhao Xing exhorted.

"Good." Ji Si nodded and stepped back to heal his wounds.

After Ji Si left, Zhao Xing closed his eyes to rest, beginning to review the news transmitted by Wang 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, there is also the resurrection of the Witch 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 Wang Tianzhi was mentally abnormal, he wouldn't be able to guess the "version progress" blindly.

After repeatedly sorting out and reviewing, Zhao Xing finally reached an astonishing answer:

"How come everything, big or small, seems to be happening in advance?"

"Premature spiritual energy revival, premature encounter with Yu Tianqing, premature excavation of the treasures of the Yueluo Mausoleum, premature arrival at the Empire's Primordial Realm, the development and expansion of the Desolate Domain are also premature, and even the changes in the Profound Yellow Realm are the same."

"The spiritual energy recovery happened early, we encountered Yu Tianqing early, we dug up the treasures of the Wu Yue Luo Mausoleum early, we arrived at the Empire's Origin Realm early, and the development and expansion of the Desolate Domain also happened early; even the changes in the Profound Yellow Realm are the same."

Calculating carefully, Zhao Xing finally discovered what that uncomfortable feeling was: "It seems like the whole world is racing against time."

Regardless, he couldn't go back to the Profound Yellow Realm now. He thought carefully and found that returning when he reached the Reincarnation Realm was a relatively appropriate node.

"Seal!" The old rule, still performing a trigger-type memory seal.

After finishing 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 that two clones had returned, followed by several people.

One was Emperor Chen Jiu, and the other was Emperor Lushan.

Zhao Xing was not surprised that Emperor Lushan came here. Every time the Dharma Assembly ended, this old man would come to visit him.

But what was Emperor Chen Jiu here for?

"Greetings to the two Emperors." Zhao Xing went out to welcome them.

"Zhao Xing, Chen Jiu and I came together this time to settle the meritorious reward for your rescue mission." Emperor Lushan smiled...

... radiantly.

Zhao Xing suddenly realized, almost forgetting about this.

His reward for rescuing the personnel trapped in the Layered Boundary Mountains hadn't been settled yet.

He had been busy with the Dharma Assembly as soon as he came out, arranged by the people of the Mound of Primordial Antiquity, and now they finally remembered this matter.

Zhao Xing said respectfully: "Please instruct me, Emperor."

Emperor Chen Jiu had no expression:

"Coral-level member Zhao Xing, your status level has been upgraded to Coral Ninth Stage."

"The total meritorious reward for the rescue mission is 1.05 billion, you alone get 550 million, and the remaining 500 million will be divided equally among the rest of the personnel."

The rescue operation rewarded a total of over 1 billion in merit, and Zhao Xing was an absolutely irreplaceable member who played an important role in the operation.

Therefore, he alone got 550 million in merit.

"Thank you, Emperor." Zhao Xing felt a joy in his heart. This time he had made a big profit.

The Empire had spent a lot of money to develop the Desolate Domain this time. 100 million in merit could be exchanged for a top-grade Origin Divine Weapon, or a slightly weaker Reincarnation Dao Weapon.

The point was that the items available for exchange had increased significantly, and some things were even limited-time exchanges, only opening restrictions during such large-scale operations.

For example, Zhao Xing could use his merit to exchange for opportunities for his relatives to cultivate in the Primordial Realm, or borrow Great Expansion Divine Weapons to deduce secret techniques...

Due to the cooperation between the Empire and super forces like the Primordial Heavenly Palace and the Reincarnation Temple, Zhao Xing could even exchange for things from the treasuries provided by other super forces.

"If you have any exchange needs, you can tell me directly, and you can exchange them now." Emperor Chen Jiu said: "Otherwise, some things will have to wait in line."

Emperor Chen Jiu was a differentiation of the Great Expansion Divine Weapon and possessed storage functions himself, being a huge mobile treasury.

Just like the two-tael ring worn by Emperor Meng Wu.

Emperor Chen Jiu delivering goods in person was a treatment not everyone had, mainly because of the invisible fame bonus from Zhao Xing's Dao discourse.

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 Primordial Heavenly Palace, invented by the alchemist Palace Master Jiu Dongyan Jue.

There were two series in total: Origin Golden Pills and Reincarnation Golden Pills.

Origin Golden Pills 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 that strengthened the True Spirit, and one of the materials was the True Spirit Fruit planted by the Primordial Realm.

The most effective Reincarnation Jin Dan was said to be able to resolve the Tribulation World.

Reincarnation Golden Pills couldn't be bought at all normally. They were opened for sale this time, but the merit required was terrifyingly high, requiring 800 billion to exchange for one.

Otherwise, Han Chuchen's Tribulation World could have been resolved directly.

"Yes, 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 220 million in merit. 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 Earth-Benefit School path.

His path of the True Self has almost reached its limit; twenty pills should be about enough.

The origin of the Earthly Faction is not yet complete, so I need to buy a bit more.

Emperor Chen Jiu tapped his chest, fluorescence flickered, and a red sandalwood medicine cabinet with mysterious patterns appeared before him.

Zhao Xing recognized it; this was a physician's medicine cabinet, which is also a type of storage space apparatus.

Although it only had nine drawers, there were many star-like buttons on it. A single drawer could be subdivided into hundreds of millions of types of medicinal herbs, and every time something was pulled out, it would be different.

Even if someone else obtained the medicine cabinet, without the password, they could at most take away the herbs inside the nine drawers.

"This medicine cabinet is not encrypted; the top-left and the second-from-the-right are the things you want," Emperor Chen Jiu said. "However, you must be careful: the Golden Core must be consumed as soon as it is taken out, otherwise the medicinal effect will decrease. If you cannot handle it, do not take out too many at once."

"Many thanks for the reminder, Your Majesty."

"Do you have any other exchange needs?"

"Not for the moment."

Palace Master Jiu Dongyan Jue had not refined the Heavenly Timing Faction's Origin Golden Core either.

I wonder if it is because the Heavenly Timing Faction lacks a super power.

But even if there were one, Zhao Xing has not yet mastered the Great Divine Ability of the Heavenly Timing Law, so he cannot channel the origin of the Golden Core; even if he bought it, he wouldn't be able to handle it.

Besides, he intends to save some merit to send Ji Si to the 【Imperial Star Fortune Palace】 for further studies; the Empire's Way of Destiny is also very impressive, and the fact that she was able to obtain the first hexagram at Ten Thousand Mountains is proof of that.

Ji Si has always been self-taught through unconventional methods; Master Zhao has long wanted to let Ji Si complete a systematic growth.

Now is the time, but there is no need to tell Emperor Chen Jiu about such a request.

It will be fine to just handle it with the Imperial Military Department after Ji Si has recovered.

"Whoosh~"

Emperor Chen Jiu disappeared rapidly after finishing his business.

There were still quite a few places where he needed to deliver goods, and he wouldn't waste a single moment.

"Zhao Xing, I originally intended to advise you to purchase the 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 consumed eighty-nine back in the day."

"This disciple is just being prepared," Zhao Xing said.

"Very good. Now you can also properly study the secret arts of our Primordial Hill," Emperor Lushan said. "Originally, the cultivation techniques of the Primordial Hill here in the Empire all require spending merit to purchase."

"However, I came 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.

"Uncle-Master, is this true?!"

Happiness came too suddenly.

Zhao Xing had expected that the Primordial Hill would grant certain benefits because of his legal theory, but he didn't expect the benefits to be this great!

The benefits brought by writing legal theory to gain fame completely exceeded Zhao Xing's expectations.

You must know that when he purchased the first layer of the Extreme Land in the Ancient Kingdom of Yuanhai, the supporting resources alone consumed more than half of the funds he had on him at the time.

The cultivation techniques and divine abilities he learned in the Origin Realm were also purchased with points he had painstakingly saved up, like an ant moving house, by having multiple clones clear levels like the Origin Ocean and the Wind-Thunder Gorge.

The Primordial Hill is now giving them away for free!

It is simply too surprising!

"Hahaha, of course it's true." Lord Lushan was very satisfied with Zhao Xing's expression. "Whatever you want to learn, I have brought it all here. As for the full range of spells and unique skills, Junior Brother Hong Shan and I can basically teach you seven or eight out of ten. The cultivation technique combined with the consumption of the Golden Core will ensure your Earthly Origin is complete without any issues."

"Of course, if you want to practice more profound things that require special locations, then you will still have to go to the Primordial Hill; we cannot move the Earth Veins of the Primordial Realm, the Dao Manifestation Realm, and the Primordial Realm over here."

"That is enough, that is enough, Uncle-Master," Zhao Xing said excitedly. "Many thanks, Uncle-Master!!! Many thanks to the Elders of the Primordial Hill!!"

When opening up ancient roads in the Desolate Domain, Sea Communication Envoys below the first rank are responsible for specific daily work.

A first-rank Sea Communication Envoy only needs to handle emergencies and can replace any position at a critical moment.

Now that the problem of the Overlapping Boundary Mountain is no longer a difficulty, Emperor Hong Shan simply gave Zhao Xing, this Sea Communication Envoy, a vacation, instructing him to focus on cultivation at the Jiachen Pass first, and just send a clone over to put on a show.

Thus, Zhao Xing began to consume the Golden Core at the Jiachen Fourteenth Pass to practice the Earthly Law.

Emperor Lushan had prepared very thoroughly for Zhao Xing: the Earth-Splitting Law, the Profound Earth Law, the Earth Palace Law, the Mountain Law, the Earth Communication Law, the Earth-Treasury Law... there was nothing he didn't have that Zhao Xing couldn't learn.

The supporting resources were also prepared very perfectly; although they didn't truly move the ancient Earth Veins of the Three Realms over, they did prepare several top-tier Earth Veins to carry on his person.

Zhao Xing's cultivation could be described as a luxury configuration, the kind that would make all Earthly Faction Si Nong envious.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, three hundred and fifty-two years had gone by.

Jiachen Fourteenth Pass, Crystal Island.

On a mountain peak with a unique shape, resembling a ram's horn, a seven-colored giant rock suddenly exploded, golden light filling the sky, drawing the attention of Emperor Lushan:

"It only took three hundred and fifty-two years for the Earthly Origin to reach the true realm of perfection. Wonderful!"

"As expected of the Holy Son born of destiny for our Primordial Hill!"
