Chapter 468: The Half-God Mansion

"Violated the Reclamation Law? Which article is the Captain referring to?" Zhao Xing walked side-by-side with Yang Baihe into the ship's cabin to chat in detail.

"?"

Yang Baihe paused his steps and pulled out a stack of official documents: "I'm asking about the medical and pension clauses. You didn't happen to violate many of those too, did you, kid?"

"So that's it." Zhao Xing realized after reading them.

The reclamation of the Star Fall Ancient Path has been going on for three hundred years!

According to the Imperial Reclamation Law, the Great Zhou must bear a portion of the medical expenses for the injured and pay out pensions.

Yang Baihe said someone reported Zhao Xing for violating the Reclamation Law, which was based on this very clause.

This is because the number of people registered in the Great Zhou's records is far fewer than the number of people actually working.

The whistleblower inferred from this: those unregistered personnel must have been hidden by the Great Zhou.

The intelligence provided by Yang Baihe even listed some actual examples.

"What do you have to say?"

Yang Baihe came to Star Fire first to investigate the truth in advance; if someone else had come to investigate, then even if there were no problems, there would be problems.

"I did not violate the Reclamation Law." Zhao Xing pointed to a column on the list: "I didn't hire this batch of people from the Green Sprout Sect at all."

"What do you mean?" Yang Baihe was a bit slow to react.

"The pension regulations in the Imperial Reclamation Law first require a clear, archived employment contract. If I didn't hire them, how can it be considered illegal?"

. o

"But this Green Sprout Sect is indeed working for you, right?" Yang Baihe asked, puzzled. "Even if there is no name of an employment contract, there is the reality of employment."

"I didn't pay them, so it doesn't count as employment."

"You didn't even pay them? How can that constitute an employment relationship? Let alone violating pension regulations."

Yang Baihe was somewhat stunned: "You mean they are working for you for free? I heard the Green Sprout Sect even brought their own equipment to reclaim the wasteland, and you didn't even pay them... are there really such foolish people?"

"Don't put it so harshly. They are all volunteers contributing based on morality, belief, and the desire to improve the environment."

"Isn't that still working for free?"

Zhao Xing did not argue, but took out a jade slip and handed it to Yang Baihe: "If the Captain is unclear, you can look at this report." "I dare not say that the Great Zhou is perfect and without the slightest flaw, but there are definitely no major problems regarding our stance."

After Yang Baihe looked at it carefully, he immediately took out his Star Mirror. The mirror surface turned fiery red, reflecting a world of flames.

"Two other lords have come to Star Fire, and I have to provide an account, so wait for me."

Yang Baihe's soul left his body, and he immediately jumped in.

Zhao Xing could not see the situation inside the mirror and just waited quietly.

……

"Green Fire Envoy, finished investigating so quickly? It wouldn't be some inconsequential result, would it?"

In the flame space, a thin man soon emerged. His hand was hooked onto the Star Fire Chain made of dark red boundary stones at his waist. His ten fingers were slender, and there was a miniature energy core on the back of his hand, containing terrifying power.

Yang Baihe retorted: "Fluctuation Envoy, there was no problem with this matter to begin with, so of course the investigation was fast. Do you want to be like the Fluctuation Envoy and investigate a small matter for a thousand years?"

"Slow work produces fine results. I'm afraid the Green Fire Envoy will make a mistake." Fluctuation Envoy Lang Yuan said indifferently. "You finally managed to get promoted, don't ruin it because of a small matter."

"I don't need you to teach me."

Yang Baihe and Lang Yuan were like new and old employees who didn't see eye to eye.

Because Yang Baihe was promoted too quickly, three thousand years ago, he was only in the Dao Domain realm and had not yet become a Green Fire Envoy. Lang Yuan had already been a Fluctuation Envoy for many years.

Yang Baihe disliked Lang Yuan very much because this person always relied on his seniority to tell him what to do. Part of the reason he took a vacation earlier was actually because of this person.

"Grumble~" Suddenly, a giant with one red pupil and one silver pupil emerged from the flames.

"Prairie Fire Envoy." Yang Baihe and Lang Yuan saluted in unison.

The Prairie Fire Envoy is the head of the eighteen envoys of Star Fire. Although he is not an Emperor, his status and strength are already comparable to an Emperor, and he is very respected within Star Fire.

"Bai Yang, tell us the investigation results." The Prairie Fire Envoy said.

"Zhao Xing did not violate the Empire's Reclamation Law." Yang Baihe said the result first.

"The Green Sprout Sect is not employed by Zhao Xing or the Great Zhou, and there is no employment contract."

"There is no employment contract, but there is the reality of employment. Can one just dodge the Empire's Reclamation Law like this?" The Fluctuation Envoy interjected.

Yang Baihe indifferently took out the official document. "Whoosh~" The document immediately ignited, and countless words and scenes appeared.

"Prairie Fire Envoy, please look. There are many groups like the Green Sprout Sect. They spontaneously formed groups and gathered in various wilderness areas of the Star Annihilation Corridor."

"The Empire and the Academy registered an organization called the 'Star Annihilation Society'."

"The purpose is to study wasteland phenomena, with the Star Annihilation Corridor as the target, to research and practice the Star Annihilation Six Qi Theory."

"According to the Empire's regulations, they have nothing to do with the Great Zhou, nor do they have any interest relationship with the Star Annihilation Ancient Path project."

Yang Baihe emphasized the interest relationship.

"In other words, Zhao Xing or the Great Zhou has never given money to the Green Sprout Sect in any form. If no money was given, how can it be considered employment?"

"Since that is the case, it is impossible to determine that he violated the Empire's Reclamation Law."

"Hmm." The Prairie Fire Envoy and the Fluctuation Envoy looked over together.

After reading it, both were silent.

In three hundred years, the Star Annihilation Dharma Assembly has been held more than twenty times, and Zhao Xing's group of supporters has grown increasingly large.

They gathered together and spontaneously worked for the development of the Star Annihilation Ancient Path. Unknowingly, they had become a quite massive force.

According to different interpretations of the Six Qi Theory, there are many similar organizations, and the Star Annihilation Society is just the largest one.

All organizations left the positions of president, sect master, and dean vacant, placing them on Zhao Xing's head. The largest Star Annihilation Society has already developed seven lord-level vice presidents!

Of course, Zhao Xing has never contacted these forces, because only the Great Zhou Si Nong Office can be considered the true foundation, and its development is controllable.

The forces outside are a mixed bag, and Zhao Xing does not intend to incorporate them. Of course, he cannot stop others from developing.

"This is to establish a sect and become a saint and ancestor." The Prairie Fire Envoy couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Fluctuation, do you accept this report?"

Lang Yuan was speechless and could only nod dryly.

He also knew that he couldn't touch Zhao Xing, so he could only target the forces under Zhao Xing. However, this time it was clearly futile, and continuing to entangle was meaningless.

"Prairie Fire Envoy, if there are no other instructions, I will take my leave first."

"Hmm."

After saying that, the Fluctuation Envoy withdrew from the flame world.

Yang Baihe exchanged a few words with the Prairie Fire Envoy and also ended this short

meeting.

"Whoosh~" Yang Baihe's soul returned to his body, and he let out a long breath.

"Captain, how did it go?" Zhao Xing asked. If Star Fire called a halt to his reclamation work, that would be a bit troublesome. He had just discovered a big haul; it would be hard to handle if he stopped now.

"It's fine for now." Yang Baihe recalled the performance of the Fluctuation Envoy Lang Yuan: "However, I feel that a force is targeting you. Usually, such a small matter wouldn't bother Star Fire to inquire."

Zhao Xing smiled: "No need to feel, there definitely is."

"The Great Zhou has been reclaiming for three hundred years, and two hundred and eight of those years have been profitable. And the years that were lost were only small losses."

"When the four major families took over, it was a mess, despised by everyone. Now that it has become a hot commodity, naturally some people want to take a bite."

If Zhao Xing were just an employee, and if the Star Annihilation Ancient Path were an official project like the Sea Passage Ancient Path, naturally no one would dare to make trouble.

But now that he has privately undertaken the development rights, it's different.

"Captain, you still have to bear the pressure from Star Fire."

"Don't worry." Yang Baihe nodded: "If you did something bad, I might not be able to favor you, but if you didn't do anything wrong, I will definitely not let anyone deliberately find fault with you."

The Great Zhou's development is so fast, not entirely because of the Dharma Assembly; the benefits brought by the Star Annihilation Ancient Path are also one of them.

Because the cost of Zhao Xing building survival bases is very low, and the area around the Star Annihilation Ancient Path is rich in World Stones, Yang Baihe has been receiving dividends from partners one after another since 150 years ago, and the dividend amount is slowly increasing.

In other words, Zhao Xing is doing better and better.

It's only been three hundred years of digging, Yang Baihe calculated. If this continues for ten thousand or hundreds of thousands of years, he could really marry an Emperor-level Dao companion!

Just for this, he couldn't let anyone come to find fault!

"Hahaha, I trust the Captain." Zhao Xing laughed loudly.

He brought in so many partners, of course not for nothing. Each partner in different departments of the Empire is meant to play a role.

After Yang Baihe left, Zhao Xing looked at the starry sky again.

"Partners of the same generation, such as Tuo Sen, Xu Youling, Du Yun, Yang Baihe, etc., can all withstand the trouble brought from the outside."

"The Star Annihilation Ancient Path can also be considered to have successfully passed the three-hundred-year period of peace."

"Now that I have dug out a big haul, I can only ask partners of the elder generation like the Five Poisons Emperor, Hongshan Emperor, and Lushan Lord to come forward and protect it."

"When it is completely dug through, I can't be greedy; I must quickly sell the ownership of the Ancient Path to the Empire." In his previous life, when the Ancient Hill of Primordiality took over, it only took five hundred years to dig through, because at that time the Ancient Hill of Primordiality had more experience and was wealthy and powerful.

Zhao Xing and the Great Zhou are not that powerful. Although they reduced the survival cost in the Star Annihilation Corridor, they still cannot compare to the foundation of a super force.

He has been digging for three hundred years now, and it's about halfway through.

Zhu Haichao withdrew everyone at this time, and a Si Nong of the Self-Nature School from the Mirage Sea Alliance took them into his inner world.

When Master Zhao gets rich, he always brings others to eat meat. Zhu Haichao, Baili Yang, Jiang Tiansu, and the Xiye Lord are now also considered Zhao Xing's partners, so naturally, they won't leak the news.

"Si Nong Zhao, what exactly is this thing?"

"Why have I never seen it before?"

The Xiye Lord looked into the distance.

The blue jade stone slabs remained motionless, spanning the starry sky. They had previously cleared the shattered star belt and accidentally bumped into one of the slabs. The boundary shield ship of the Reincarnation Dao Soldier level, using the top-tier Taiyin and Taiyang twin stars as a drill, couldn't even chisel a mark on it. Some people were sucked into certain blue jade-textured slabs.

"It should be a product of the Chaotic River Era." Zhao Xing pondered. "It is a relatively unique small-world encapsulation technique."

"So that's it, Si Nong Zhao is indeed knowledgeable." The Xiye Lord just asked casually; he didn't expect Zhao Xing to really know something about it.

"When I was receiving treatment at the Academy, I had the honor of entering the Eighth Dharma Realm for treatment. Scholar Bowei once showed me some ancient books." Zhao Xing said.

This sentence was not made up; Bowei really showed him many ancient books when he was in the Eighth Dharma Realm.

And the Ancient Hill of Primordiality in his previous life really only figured out some information about the blue stone slabs from the Academy.

According to Zhao Xing's understanding, the 3564 blue stone slabs came from the Chaotic River Era and are a lost boundary encapsulation technique. Later generations named them 'Blue Jade Boundary'.

The worst cave dwellings were left by lords, the vast majority were Emperor-level, and the strongest were seven semi-god mansions!

No one knows why they appeared here. It was only inferred after the exploration was completed that these blue stone slabs might also be a type of transportation tool similar to a boundary boat. A group of strong people fled here, but ultimately failed to walk out of this wasteland, so they left behind heritage cave dwellings.

"We can't take these blue jade stone slabs away. People, objects, and even spell attacks will be absorbed." Baili Yang said: "They seem to have merged with the void, motionless in the starry sky."

Of course they won't move, because the blue jade stone slabs are actually a whole, not existing individually, just like the legion spells of a mechanism master, fixed in place.

Their common point is absorbing external life and spiritual energy substances, which also conforms to the speculation that the blue jade stone slabs are mobile survival bases. "Regardless, these things are not ordinary items." Zhao Xing smiled slightly. "Everyone, this year's seasonal dividend will definitely not be too bad."

More than three thousand Reincarnation-level cave dwellings were the first pot of gold harvested by the Ancient Hill of Primordiality in his previous life. After digging it up, the Ancient Hill of Primordiality not only earned back the cost of developing the Star Annihilation Ancient Path

but also accelerated the development speed.

After it was dug up, several source boundaries were discovered one after another, which even allowed the Ancient Hill of Primordiality to obtain innate divine objects.

Seeing the blue jade stone slabs, Zhao Xing knew he was going to get rich this time.

"Everyone, check the surrounding environment, but don't explore rashly."

Zhao Xing gave some instructions and then passed through the boundary mountain passage of Qitian Mountain to the other side of the mountain.

There is an exploration forward star land here, also named after his partner Qitian.

Zhao Xing is very grateful to his partners. Along the way, more than two hundred survival bases, boundary mountains, and rivers, large and small, were all named after his partners.

With the help of the communication array on the Qitian star land, Zhao Xing strengthened his Star Mirror transmission function.

About an hour later, he contacted the three people: Five Poisons Emperor, Hongshan Emperor, and Lushan Emperor.

Originally, there should have been Zuo Qiyu, but ever since the Primordial Grass Man technique was practiced, Zhao Xing couldn't help but have murderous intent whenever he heard Zuo Qiyu's name.

So this mirror meeting only invited the three of them.

"Disciple, are you in danger?" The first sentence of the Five Poisons Emperor appearing in the mirror was to ask about Zhao Xing's safety, because Zhao Xing opened an emergency communication, which meant Zhao Xing encountered a big thing.

"Master, I am not in danger." Zhao Xing shook his head, "But there is indeed a big thing to discuss with the three of you."

"If it's not a big bad thing, then it's a big good thing... What did you dig up on the Star Annihilation Ancient Path?" The Five Poisons Emperor's eyes lit up and said: "It couldn't be that you discovered a source boundary."

Since the appearance of the Lingxu Source Boundary, another Lingluo Source Boundary has been discovered on the seven ancient paths.

It can be said that now when people mention wasteland development, the first benefit they think of is a new source boundary.

"That's not it." Zhao Xing shook his head, "However, disciple discovered 3564 encapsulated small worlds."

"They are encapsulated in blue jade stone slabs. Based on the attraction they generate, disciple believes they are at least from the craftsmanship of the Chaotic River Era, because they must have sealed the earth veins, and the earth veins of the Chaotic River Era are different from now."

"Secondly, each of these blue jade stone slabs is absorbing spiritual energy substances and life from the outside, very much like some ancient groups preparing to cross the boundary, who fell on the way."

"Because at least a lord-level is needed to withstand this attraction, disciple dare not rashly send people in to explore." "So I can only come to discuss with the three of you."

Zhao Xing's four biggest partners: Zuo Qiyu, Hongshan Emperor, Lushan Emperor, and Five Poisons Emperor. These four paid the bulk, so he was able to start work.

Otherwise, with the money from the Great Zhou and the remaining partners, it would be impossible to start, and he could only buy the mining rights from the four major families.

"Listening to your description, these are not stone blocks at all, but cross-boundary boats."

"Only boundary ships of this level can cross a spiritual energy territory." Hongshan Emperor gasped. "These are not 3564 blue jade stone slabs, but 3564 cross-boundary ships."

Lushan Lord also had a hoarse voice: "If it is still absorbing external spiritual energy, it proves that they still maintain high integrity. Just themselves are worth a lot! Let alone the wealth inside."

The three Emperors simultaneously realized a problem:

Assuming these 3564 cross-boundary ships, each ship is comparable to the net worth of an Emperor-level.

Then according to the dividend ratio, the three of them can obtain a huge amount of wealth.

If things go well, the three of them might step into the semi-god level because of this!

Thinking of this possibility, even the three Emperors were shocked.

Originally investing in Zhao Xing, they never thought about making money; it would be good not to lose money.

But they were also willing to take some out for Zhao Xing to fail. After all, Zhao Xing was too talented; he could write theories and practice techniques, and he had almost never experienced any setbacks. If he could suffer some small setbacks without threatening his life, spending some money was worth it.

However, the Star Annihilation Ancient Path only lost money for a few decades, and after that, it was all profit.

They didn't take the dividends Zhao Xing sent over to heart originally.

Now, even the three Emperors couldn't ignore it.

Because this wealth really might allow them to exchange for good treasures, thus breaking through to the semi-god realm!

"Zhao Xing, you came to find us, not just to say this, right?" The Five Poisons Emperor was the first to come back to his senses.

"Disciple recently felt that the reclamation was not going smoothly, and there were some groundless negative comments from the outside. Clearly, someone is jealous of disciple's talent."

The Five Poisons Emperor couldn't help but laugh: "What jealousy of talent, it's clearly eye-reddening for the benefits of the Star Annihilation Ancient Path. Speak properly."

Zhao Xing arched his hands: "Master has eyes like torches, I was investigated."

"Just a while ago, someone from Star Fire came to investigate the Star Annihilation Ancient Path. The reason was far-fetched, and they even sent three lord-level people without sufficient evidence." "They don't know yet that disciple dug up these blue stone slabs, so Yang Baihe could block them back."

"But if they knew, I'm afraid disciple's connections wouldn't be able to block this kind of groundless investigation."

"Disciple also cannot concentrate on exploring these treasures."

Wherever there are benefits, a bunch of people will smell it and come over.

Zhao Xing alone cannot protect this kind of benefit.

Now is the time when the three Emperors need to escort him!

The three Emperors, Five Poisons Emperor and others, collided with their divine thoughts and quickly reached a consensus: "You should mine this batch of treasures as soon as possible."

"Investigate its specific value clearly."

"Afterwards, we will invite a few old friends from the War God Hall to sit in."

The Five Poisons Emperor, including Hongshan Emperor, have their own official positions and it is not convenient for them to go to the Star Annihilation Ancient Path in person.

Lushan Emperor could go, but he alone is not enough.

"Wait until we find out the value of the ruins, then decide what to do."

"Yes."

With this sentence, Zhao Xing felt confident.

Before waiting for the people called by the Five Poisons Emperor to arrive, Zhao Xing also explored it himself.

He called the Grand Master of Works Lu Ying over. Now Lu Ying is also a Reincarnation-level mechanism master, just right to call him to practice.

Lu Ying led more than three thousand people from the Great Zhou Xuanji Office and mobilized a legion-type Reincarnation Dao Soldier to try to move one of the slabs.

In the void, in front of the nearest slab, the Juzi Palace slowly rotated.

Lu Ying and Zhao Xing stood on the steps of the Juzi Palace, looking into the distance.

"Grand Si Nong, what is this?"

"Our Great Zhou's eight Giant God boundary transport ships have all been dispatched, and it actually remains motionless."

Lu Ying didn't understand, but was greatly shocked.

With the current strength of the Great Zhou's Xuanji Office, let alone moving a blue jade stone slab of 0. astronomical units, even a boundary mountain corner peak ten times larger would be no problem. The experience of the Ministry of Works has been accumulating since thousands of years ago in the Wangliang Star District of the Langping Path.

Not counting the bug-level existence of the Si Nong Office, the strongest in the Great Zhou is the Xuanji

Office.

"A product left over from the Chaotic River Era. I don't know whose craftsmanship it is. Logically speaking, it should be able to be moved."

The reason he said this is because the Ancient Hill of Primordiality moved it away in his previous life.

But now it can't be moved, which clearly shows that the Great Zhou's transport capacity is problematic, not as strong as the Ancient Hill of Primordiality.

Lu Ying looked at Zhao Xing and shook his head, feeling a bit ashamed.

After developing for thousands of years and investing so much, can the Ministry of Works still not meet the requirements of the Grand Si Nong?

"Grand Si Nong, it is the incompetence of the Ministry of Works." Lu Ying said with a face of shame.

"Uh, Master Lu doesn't need to be like this, I didn't mean to blame you." Zhao Xing saw Lu Ying's expression and knew he thought too much. "Inviting you here is just to accumulate some experience and see a big scene."

Of course he wouldn't blame Lu Ying. The Ancient Hill of Primordiality is a super force. If needed, calling a few semi-gods wouldn't be a problem, and they could also carry divine objects to move it. But where does the Great Zhou have this condition?

"Grand Si Nong, can we invite Hongshan Emperor or Lushan Emperor from the Ancient Hill of Primordiality to move it? I heard they have a World Boat..."

"No, public is public, private is private. The divine objects of the Ancient Hill of Primordiality cannot be borrowed just because you want to." Zhao Xing shook his head.

The Ancient Hill of Primordiality has two very famous transport-type divine objects: one is the Ancient Boat, and the other is the World Boat.

But how would the divine objects of such a super force be used to do private work for Zhao Xing?

Even if they were willing to lend it, it would cost money, and Zhao Xing couldn't afford the price either.

This matter is not for him to consider, but for the Five Poisons Emperor and the others.

Zhao Xing just needs to sit and wait now.

"Master Lu, these are all products of the Chaotic River Era, containing many exquisite mechanism crafts. Take advantage of the time now, you can study them."

"Yes." Lu Ying nodded.

He also understood that Zhao Xing calling him over was purely to practice.

Because these blue jade stone slabs cannot stay here for too long.

"As long as we can explore a few, confirm the value, we can package and sell them." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Not every cave dwelling can have huge gains.

Rather than spending huge energy to explore everything, it is better to cash out as soon as possible, allowing himself, the Great Zhou, and even the three teachers to gain strength!

While waiting for people to come, Zhao Xing was not idle.

He split out three Primordial clones and spent three years carefully scanning the surface of all the blue stone slabs. "Although they are all the same size, the secret patterns on the surface are still somewhat different." Zhao Xing looked at the patterns on the blue jade stone slabs.

"Lotus flowers, sun and moon, swords and weapons, even musical instruments... different patterns represent different types of cave dwellings."

"However, I can't see anything from those seven semi-god cave dwellings, and I don't know what's inside."

Just as Zhao Xing was thinking.

A clone in the Qitian base also waited for three 'distinguished guests'.

"Clatter~~"

Ten thousand miles of blue waves, overturning the sky and earth, three huge figures appeared on the sea surface.

The Bibo Lake teleportation array is a small teleportation array.

One of them was wearing cyan armor, with a firm face, cyan energy wrapped in a layer of dark golden flames, wearing an ancient dark golden ring on his finger, and the other two were wearing dharma robes.

After the three figures appeared, Zhao Xing's Primordial clone appeared by the lake for the first time.

"Junior Zhao Xing, meets Mengwu Emperor, Moxu Emperor, and Xuanying Emperor."

The leader was Mengwu Emperor, and there were two others beside him, both Emperor-level powerhouses from the War God Hall.

The War God Hall, located in the Yanshen Star System, is the Empire's highest military headquarters.

The Yanshen Star System is also the meditation place of the Martial God 'Yan'. Mengwu is a disciple of this god-level, and many military bosses have deep relationships with Mengwu.

The Five Poisons Emperor even said that Mengwu is the spokesperson for a certain military interest group.

From the perspective of combat power, the Primordial Boundary is not the symbol of the Empire's military power; the War God Hall is.

The Five Poisons Emperor shook Mengwu over just to let the military also eat a piece of this cake. Assuming he can get along well with Mengwu Emperor, the subsequent development of the Star Annihilation Ancient Path will also be smoother.

A lone eater won't go far. Assuming he eats it all up, investigations like Star Fire will inevitably become more and more frequent in the future. Even if he didn't make a mistake, people would still find fault.

"Zhao Xing, long time no see." Mengwu Emperor said with a hint of teasing, "I heard from your master that you discovered some good things. You can't let me make a wasted trip this time, right?"

Zhao Xing knew that Mengwu was talking about the Yuanhai Dharma Assembly back then. He used the Time Page as bait to shake Mengwu over, but in the end, Mengwu didn't get anything and almost died.

For this reason, Mengwu locked Zhao Xing in the Erliangpo prison for five hundred years as punishment.

As a result, Zhao Xing met the mysterious man Wu Tian and learned the Great Five Finger Mountain secret technique from him.

Zhao Xing respectfully said: "I definitely won't let you down, please enter the hall to talk."

"No need to sit, let's go directly to see the ruins."

"Moxu Emperor and Xuanying Emperor have precious time. If there is no value... humph." Mengwu Emperor touched the ring on his hand.

Zhao Xing was helpless; he didn't expect Mengwu Emperor to be so petty.

No way, he could only take them to see the location of the ruins first. Leading the three Emperors through the Qitian Boundary Mountain passage, the blue jade stone slabs in the void came into view.

Moxu Emperor and Xuanying Emperor are both in the mechanism master path, and the two have different focuses.

One is proficient in mechanism creations, good at making puppets and Dao soldiers, and one is good at mechanism array schools, good at breaking and setting up arrays.

After seeing these blue jade stone slabs, the two Emperors began to explore around this starry sky.

"Go!" Moxu Emperor wore the Myriad Phenomena Pivot Robe. As the robe waved, a large number of mechanism tools flew out.

There were giant god-flow mechanism puppets with huge bodies, and also small Yin-Yang boundary shuttles, star track compasses, Eight Trigrams dry rotation instruments... many mechanism Dao soldiers, permeated with different Dao breaths, mixed together, like a river.

"A mechanism torrent composed of more than 800, 00 kinds of mechanism Dao soldiers." Zhao Xing stood on the ship, and Lu Ying followed Zhao Xing obediently to watch.

He didn't dare to blink, for fear of missing something.

"Boom~~~"

Along with Moxu Emperor, Xuanying Emperor also made a move.

He only threw out one thing, his life-bound mechanism 【Nine Heavens Palace Box】.

This is an array box. After unfolding, it immediately covered most of the blue jade stone slabs.

Illusory mechanism dharma images instantly filled the sky, with heaven and earth clouds, raindrops like gears, bronze giant figures patrolling...

Lord-level people would be absorbed if they got close, but both Emperors showed absolute control.

Even if the array and mechanism creations touched the surface, they were still not affected.

"The gap is too big. Is this the Emperor-level from a super force?" Lu

Ying couldn't help but sigh in a low voice, "Grand Si Nong, when will we have this kind of foundation?"

Lu Ying was seeing this level of mechanism master make a move for the first time.

He was instantly fascinated, and at the same time felt a bit ashamed.

"There will be." Zhao Xing pointed to that torrent of Dao soldiers. "Sooner or later, the Great Zhou will equip you with more divine weapons than this."

Lu Ying didn't reply, not knowing if he was digesting Master Zhao's big pie or focusing on learning.

The two Emperors explored for about five years. During this period, they also went deep into the void layer and moved the position of the entire blue jade stone block a little bit.

Finally, in the seventh year, they withdrew all their means.

After the two returned, they exchanged a few words with Mengwu Emperor.

Then Mengwu Emperor landed.

"Sit."

Mengwu Emperor took the initiative and set up a table on the deck of the boundary boat, reaching out to let Zhao Xing sit down and talk. "Thank you, Emperor, for the seat." Zhao Xing arched his hands and sat down.

"The ruins have been preliminarily explored. The 3564 blue jade stone slabs are all cross-boundary boats with unique shapes, and each one contains a large survival space."

"According to the judgment of Moxu Emperor and Xuanying Emperor, there are 1204 lord-level cave dwellings, 2353 Emperor-level cave dwellings, and 7 semi-god-level cave dwellings inside."

Mengwu looked at Zhao Xing deeply.

"You kid has good luck, this is an amazing wealth."

"According to the Imperial Reclamation Law, these things belong to the owner of the mining rights. As long as you pay a certain tax, it is legal property."

Zhao Xing was not surprised, after all, he knew the number and approximate value of the cave dwellings.

"Your master said that you tend to sell these things to avoid hindering

the reclamation of the Star Annihilation Ancient Path. Is that the case?" Mengwu Emperor asked.

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded, "My ambition is to expand the territory for the Empire. If I keep it here, it will inevitably hinder my wasteland reclamation plan."

Mengwu Emperor nodded: "Good, I will talk to your master about the price."

Mengwu closed his eyes, and Zhao Xing waited quietly.

He knew that Mengwu should be discussing the transaction details with the Five Poisons Emperor now.

About a day later, Zhao Xing received a letter from the Five Poisons Emperor.

"Mengwu and the forces behind him can eat this batch of treasures, and they also have the conditions to move them away without hindering your wasteland reclamation."

"And pay all the money at once."

"Disciple, do you have any suggestions?"

Zhao Xing responded in the Star Mirror:

"Master, except for the seven semi-god cave dwellings, the remaining 3557 cave dwellings can all be sold to Mengwu."

"Because these cave dwellings have heritage restrictions, most of them are heritage cave dwellings for martial artists."

"Except for Mengwu and the forces behind him, very few people in the Empire can afford this treasure."

"Even if we explore it ourselves, we still have to sell it to others. Rather than wasting energy, it's better to be direct and sell it in a package."

Packaging naturally requires a discount. The other cave dwellings can be sold at a discount, but selling the seven semi-god cave dwellings at a discount would be too much of a loss.

Zhao Xing felt that he could go and explore them himself. Anyway, there are only seven, so it won't waste too much energy.

After a while, the Five Poisons Emperor shook his head: "Not really, Mengwu and the others value the seven semi-god mansions."

"If there are no seven semi-god mansions, he doesn't want to wade into the muddy water."

Zhao Xing pondered: "Master, what about joint exploration? The rest

are sold, and Mengwu and the others can explore the seven semi-god mansions, and we can also explore." Zhao Xing is about to break through to the Reincarnation realm. Once he breaks through, his strength will inevitably leap significantly, and he has hope of controlling the Black Heaven Moon Tree and the Spirit-Devouring Grass. Even the Heart Sealing Technique can cultivate a second type of magic power. He is fully capable of exploring semi-god cave dwellings.

After waiting for a while, the Five Poisons Emperor responded: "Mengwu agreed."

Next, after several rounds of price negotiations, three months later, the specific transaction plan was finalized.

First, Mengwu pays the full amount at once and will provide protection to Zhao Xing, ensuring that his development of the Star Annihilation Ancient Path will not encounter trouble.

Wasteland development is ultimately a military operation. Having a big shot from the War God Hall provide protection is more useful in some aspects than Si Nongs from the Primordial Boundary.

Secondly, Mengwu will move these blue jade stone slabs as soon as possible, not delaying Zhao Xing's development progress.

And he can let the strong people of the War God Hall provide a list of treasures. If Zhao Xing's side needs any treasures, they can exchange them with them.

Emperor-level powerhouses, who doesn't have some treasures at the bottom of the box? Being able to touch this level of transaction channel is also a huge benefit for Zhao Xing.

As for the settlement method, it is paid with the 'Xuanling Ancient Coins' commonly used among Emperors.

Lord-level cave dwellings are priced at 100 coins, and Emperor-level cave dwellings are priced at 10, 00 coins.

This price is calculated entirely based on the net worth of lord-level and Emperor-level, which can be said to be quite fair.

However, even so, Mengwu and the others still have a lot of profit.

Not to mention anything else, the cross-boundary boats themselves have value.

"The lord-level cave dwellings sold for a total of 120, 00 Xuanling Ancient Coins, and the Emperor-level cave dwellings sold for a total of 23. 3 million Xuanling Ancient Coins, totaling 23. 5 million Xuanling Ancient Coins."

"There are still the seven largest semi-god cave dwellings waiting to be dug."

"Disciple, remember to call us for the next dividend, hahaha."

The three Emperors all laughed.

They never thought that an investment made three hundred years ago could have such a huge harvest.

"Three teachers, don't worry, definitely." Zhao Xing was also happy.

The equity distribution of the entire Star Annihilation Ancient Path is: Zuo Qiyu and Five Poisons Emperor hold 40%, Hongshan Emperor and Lushan Emperor hold 30%, and Zhao Xing, the Great Zhou, and many small partners like Du Yun hold the remaining 30%.

Now that this money has arrived, Zhao Xing and the other partners can get about 7. 9 million Xuanling Ancient Coins.

Among them, Zhao Xing and the Great Zhou together can take 60%, which is 4. million Xuanling Ancient Coins.

What is this concept? The minimum standard for Emperor-level net worth is 10, 00 Xuanling Coins.

"This wave of income is equivalent to robbing more than two thousand Emperor-levels." Zhao Xing couldn't help but sigh.

"I wonder what Yang Baihe, Du Yun, Xu Youling, and the others will think when the next dividend comes."

"The Captain should have enough to marry an Emperor-level Dao companion, right?" Zhao Xing doesn't intend to distribute all this money. There is still a lot to be done on the Star Annihilation Ancient Path. To do a good job, one must first sharpen one's tools.

Now that he is in charge, of course, he must continue to invest in the Great Zhou, raising the Great Zhou to be fat and strong, so that he can quickly dig to those source boundaries.

Time passed, and since taking over the Star Annihilation Ancient Path, 360 years have passed.

This year, many big things happened.

One is that Bowei announced the merger of the largest force of star historians into the Academy, and renamed the star historian profession to historian.

This major event even affected Zhao Xing's panel. Since then, when he looks at Yang Baihe, the profession name has become 【Historian】, not Star

Historian.

Bowei is worthy of being the man who influenced a version.

Zhao Xing also understands that this transformation is the key to the start of Bowei's god-making plan.

Now inside the Academy, there should be a group of people receiving special 'enlightenment'.

The second big thing is Zhao Xing's Star Annihilation Dharma Assembly, which has been held to the last session.

After it ended, Bowei's clone took away Zhao Xing's original, and claimed that he would write the "Star Annihilation Six Qi Theory" on the Myriad Dao Tree of the Academy.

At this point, the Star Annihilation Dharma Assembly ended successfully and began to spread widely in the Xuanling Star Domain.

The third big thing still comes from the Star Annihilation Ancient Path.

The Great Zhou Dynasty, which undertook the Star Annihilation Ancient Path, suddenly announced the discovery of an ancient exotic ruin group.

And published the financial data and dividends for the Jiazi year.

A financial statement instantly ignited the entire northwestern part of the Empire, even overshadowing the last session of the Star Annihilation Dharma Assembly.

Zhao Xing distributed 60% of the 23. 5 million Xuanling Ancient Coins as dividends, and 30% for liquidity reserves and reinvestment. This data simply blinded everyone.

"Damn, how much money did Zhao Xing make? He actually distributed so much!"

"You don't know yet, right? A big treasure was dug up on the Star Annihilation Ancient Path. It is rumored that there are more than three thousand cross-boundary ships, and each one contains a heritage cave dwelling, the lowest of which is lord-level!"

"Hiss, Xuanling Ancient Coins are currency used by Emperors to buy Reincarnation Dao Soldiers. How many Reincarnation Dao Soldiers can this buy?"

"If it's a low-grade Reincarnation Dao Soldier, it should be able to buy two or three thousand pieces."

"My God, won't the four major families be pissed off? I heard they sold the mining rights and all bases to the Great Zhou for more than 120, 00 Xuanling Ancient Coins."

"Brother, don't ask, I'm from the Carlos family. I heard the family head is already smoking now."

"......"

In the Ruyin Star System, on a mechanism planet. In the family hall, a group of clansmen are kneeling, all of them sweating and trembling, including the negotiation team that handled the sale back then.

Ruyin Carlos's original body is in seclusion. Sitting on the throne is his mechanism clone. Now he is smoking all over, his eyes bulging, looking at the data in the Star Mirror in disbelief.

"In one Jiazi year, the profit was more than 20 million Xuanling Ancient Coins, and 14 million was distributed as dividends. My God......" Ruyin Carlos couldn't believe his eyes at all.

It only took three hundred and sixty years, and such a big treasure appeared on the Star Annihilation Ancient Path.

Three hundred and sixty years! For an Emperor-level, it's just the time for a nap.

Assuming they kept digging, wouldn't this huge amount of wealth today be his?

And he sold the mining rights for more than 120, 00!

Ruyin Carlos asked with red eyes:

"Who, who exactly was responsible for the negotiation!"

The person in charge raised his head tremblingly: "Family Head, it, it was me."

"Trash, you misjudged the value of the Star Annihilation Corridor! Causing the family to suffer heavy losses, come here!"

"Lock him in the Soul Prison and imprison him for ten thousand years!"

The person in charge turned pale: "Family Head, this can't be blamed on me, you were the one who told me to sell..."

Ruyin Carlos glared, and this person immediately couldn't make a sound.

Seeing this, everyone felt even colder in their hearts. Although they knew that without the family head's

consent, it was impossible to sell the mining rights, but the family head is never wrong. Someone must take the blame, and whoever encounters it is unlucky.

"Come here, contact the other families and find that Zhao Xing." Ruyin Carlos immediately commanded his subordinates, "No matter what, we must occupy a share on the Star Annihilation Ancient Path again!"

Today is different from the past. The benefits of the Star Annihilation Ancient Path are gradually becoming clear, and can even be predicted by destiny masters.

Relying on his large force, Ruyin Carlos wants to get a share of the Star Annihilation Ancient Path again.

There are no telling how many other big forces and big families have the same idea as him.

They are all rushing to the Star Annihilation Corridor, trying to seek benefits.

The four major families regretted it so much that their guts turned green. Yang Baihe, Du Yun, Gu Ming, Qitian, Jing Yan, Yu Tianqing, Xu Youling, Tuo Sen... as long as they were partners who invested in the Star Annihilation Ancient Path, they were all laughing numbly.

"Don't call me Prince Number So-and-So in the future, call me Beiye Emperor!" Jing Yan held a wine jar in the Zhongji Hall of the Great Zhou, acting unrestrained.

"Hahaha, Jing Yan, your great-grandfather hasn't planned to abdicate yet, you're floating." Yang Baihe laughed.

The strongest in the Beiye Star System is the Beiye Emperor. The Beiye Star System is also a dynasty system. Every time a Beiye Emperor absorbs enough dynasty resources, he will abdicate and let his descendants be the king. However, it's not known how long it will take for it to be Jing Yan's turn.

"I only invested a hundred thousand Five Emperor Coins, and I actually got so many Xuanling Ancient Coins. Is Brother Zhao a cornucopia?" Xu Youling was also drunk, "With this wealth, my return to the Reincarnation realm is not far away!" "Brother Zhao is awesome! A toast to Zhao Xing!" Gu Ming raised his glass, "I will buy a top-grade Reincarnation Dao Soldier as my life-bound weapon in the future!"

"What are you saying, what are you saying!" Wu Yanlin pushed away the drunken Gu Ming,

"The mechanism master of the Source Heaven Palace is just not on the right path. Is that Brother Zhao? That is foster father!"

"Hahahaha."

At this partner banquet, everyone deliberately got drunk because they were too happy.

The person who invested the least was Miaosong Daoist, and he also got more than 8, 00 Xuanling Ancient Coins, which is almost the net worth of a Reincarnation Emperor-level.

Many of these geniuses are reincarnated and re-cultivating. They are just short of resources when breaking through to the Reincarnation realm. Now that they have a windfall, let alone returning to the realm of their previous life, it is even possible to go a step further. How can they not be happy?

Even Du Yun was a bit drunk. He said to Han Chuchen next to him: "In the future, this group of people will become the new nobles of the Empire, and Zhao Xing's Great Zhou will likely become a top force in the Empire in the future."

"Brother Han, with this wealth, the Tribulation World should be passed, right, Brother Han?"

Du Yun's eyes were blurry. He looked down and found that Han Chuchen was actually hugging his thigh and sleeping, still muttering nonsense like Zhao Xing and foster father.

"Ha, you hugged the wrong thigh!" Du Yun kicked him away. Seeing the atmosphere was enthusiastic, he no longer suppressed his interest. "Where is Zhao Xing? Call Zhao Xing out, I want to drink three thousand rounds with him!"

At this time, Zhao Xing was no longer at the banquet, but had come to a quiet valley on the Zhongji Star Land.

There is a huge open space in the valley, and many ink-colored patterns are engraved on the open space. This is the Star Pivot Teleportation Array specially built for Zhao Xing by Moxu Emperor. Its main function is to transport cultivation materials.

"Hum~~"

At this time, the Star Pivot Array is flashing with light, and the ink-colored patterns suddenly rotate, forming a brilliant starry sky vortex.

"Pop pop pop~"

Starlight dots, soon magnified in front of his eyes, were spat out by the vortex.

"It's here, it's here."

Zhao Xing looked at the objects falling like heavy rain, either cabinets containing elixirs, or Wenhua boxes planted with magical plants, or array boxes...

They were neatly arranged inside the valley, continuous and endless.

Waiting for the transmission to be completed, Zhao Xing counted them, and then showed an expectant smile.

"A total of 48, 00 items, all treasures exchanged from the War God Hall."

"After waiting for sixty years, the treasures for breaking through to the Reincarnation realm are finally complete!"

"Clones, return!"

Zhao Xing's heart moved, and at this moment, all clones, whether at the banquet or patrolling, returned.

"The breakthrough to the Reincarnation realm is mainly the transformation of the soul into a true spirit. First, the soul breaks through, and then the inner world is opened."

"Hum~" A large number of split souls entered the body, leaving only the grass man body standing outside the valley.

Zhao Xing opened his mouth wide and swallowed a large number of True Spirit Fruits. When a critical value was reached, the soul began to transform.
