Chapter 479: Divine Object, Divine Arrival (Final Chapter of this Volume)
When Zhao Xing looked at the nine bone spikes of the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle, three of them immediately emitted three silver-bright runes that surged into his sea of consciousness.
"The 【Nine Marsh God】 driving method of the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle is more complex than what I comprehended in the first five levels," Zhao Xing immediately focused.
"It not only involves magic power, heart will, True Spirit, and Dharma body, but actually also the cultivation and methods of the Heavenly Time Faction."
"Only in this way can the 【Heaven-Changing Dharma Domain】 that combines internal and external be formed; once the 【Heaven-Changing Dharma Domain】 is born, one can drive one-third of the power of the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle."
"If all three methods are comprehended, and then the nine divine needles are refined and pierced into the Dharma body Dao foundation."
"One can transform into the three forms of 'Nine Marsh God,' 'Rock Star God,' and 'Pu Luo God'."
"All three are in the God Realm?!"
Zhao Xing was somewhat shocked; Marquis Transformation becoming a god was really reality.
However, this also required mastery of all three methods, and all nine divine needles had to be driven to be the true Heaven-Changing Divine Needle; just the Nine Marsh God alone could only drive three core needles.
If not all nine bone spikes took effect, then after Marquis Transformation, whether it was the Nine Marsh God, the Pu Luo God, or the Rock Star God, they were only at the demigod realm.
"But there is no provision for this; how do I cultivate it?"
Zhao Xing asked Venerable Bai Han his question.
"Could it be that your era has no Heavenly Time Faction cultivation techniques that point to becoming a god?" Venerable Bai Han asked in return.
"No," Zhao Xing shook his head.
"You have no Heavenly Time magic power; how do you execute the Marquis Transformation technique?" Venerable Bai Han seemed somewhat surprised.
"Times are changing; in my era, the Marquis Transformation technique can be supported by the magic power of the other two factions, and I cultivate all three factions."
"Cultivate all three factions? No, even if you could, the power of your Marquis Transformation technique couldn't reach such a level," Venerable Bai Han frowned.
According to the division of ancient cultivation, the Heavenly Time, Earthly Benefit, and Self factions further widened their differences after breaking through the Reincarnation Realm.
Even the most basic magic power chapters were divided into different factions.
Heavenly Time magic power, Earthly Benefit magic power, and Self magic power could amplify the spells of the corresponding faction; conversely, if spells were executed with heterogeneous magic power, at best the power would be greatly reduced, and at worst, the spells couldn't be executed, or one would even be backlashed.
"My Heavenly Time Dao is not in the Reincarnation Realm, but I have had some unique encounters."
Zhao Xing broke through to the Origin Realm in the Spirit Void Origin Realm by relying on the Rain Immortal Festival sacrifice, achieving the Dao Domain Realm, and using various Heavenly Time spells to replace the Zhou Heaven, thereby balancing the cultivation of the three factions.
After breaking through to the Reincarnation Realm, only the Self Faction and the Earthly Benefit Faction broke through; from the perspective of the Heavenly Time Faction, Zhao Xing was currently only in the Dao Domain Realm.
However, Fan Qianrou's Heart Sealing Method, the seven-colored magic power chapter, replaced the Heavenly Time magic power.
So even if Zhao Xing had no Heavenly Time magic power, the Azure Flower magic power was a jack-of-all-trades, still capable of balancing the three factions of the Dao and continuing to advance.
"Your Heavenly Time Dao is not in the Reincarnation Realm, yet you can walk to this step; it seems your encounters are very unique," Venerable Bai Han's eyes flashed with a strange color. "I have Heavenly Time cultivation techniques, but hearing you say this, even my Heavenly Time cultivation techniques are not as good as your encounters; you can continue to comprehend the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle according to your original plan."
Zhao Xing understood; Venerable Bai Han's era also didn't have any powerful Heavenly Time cultivation techniques.
What he knew couldn't even compare to the Heart Sealing Method, a general magic power cultivation secret technique of the God of Physicians, Fan Qianrou.
However, he also gave a direction for guidance, which was that Zhao Xing could refer to his previous cultivation plan, meaning to continue using Azure Flower magic power, Red Lotus magic power, and Cang Ming magic power as the foundation for the Marquis Transformation of the complete version of the Nine Marsh God.
"It seems Venerable Bai Han hasn't completely mastered the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
If he had completely mastered it, Venerable Bai Han wouldn't have asked such a question, nor would he have to worry about some sword Dao Venerable coming to destroy the inheritance.
The prerequisite for driving the magic treasure was to comprehend the complete 【Nine Marsh God】.
The second point was to execute 【Nine Marsh God】, resonate with the three Dharma needles, and master the 【Heaven-Changing Dharma Domain】.
Assuming all three Marquis Transformation secret techniques were mastered, it would be the 【Heaven-Changing Divine Domain】.
Of course, Venerable Bai Han's trial now only required Zhao Xing to master one-third.
"Complete Nine Marsh God." Zhao Xing's split soul began to comprehend the three silver-bright runes.
In the sea of consciousness, ninety-six split souls surrounded the three silver-bright runes, analyzing them one by one.
Because he had comprehended three Nine Marsh God Dao Diagrams on the fifth level earlier, this complete version was just an advancement and didn't need to be comprehended from scratch.
Possessing the panel, Zhao Xing either couldn't learn it, or once learned, it was just a matter of spending time to trial and error.
At a certain moment, Zhao Xing's body shook, and he suddenly saw an illusion before his eyes.
From the silver-bright runes, he saw a giant creature spanning heaven and earth.
Chaos mist permeated its surroundings, causing the surrounding space-time to constantly collapse and reconstruct; countless suns, moons, and stars turned with its breathing.
Beneath the giant creature's feet were three tiny creatures, similar in physique to the giant creature, though this tiny was relative to the giant.
"So that's how it is," Zhao Xing suddenly understood.
"The Nine Marsh God is an innate god."
"The three Dao Diagrams I saw on the fifth-level floating island were not the real Nine Marsh God, but the three descendants closest to it."
"It seems Venerable Bai Han didn't create those Life Dao Diagrams entirely by his own pondering, but first obtained the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle, and then followed the map to capture the descendants possessing the Nine Marsh God bloodline."
Zhao Xing glanced at the panel.
【Marquis Transformation Technique: Nine Marsh God】
【Description: The Nine Marsh God is an innate god; the divine artifact 'Heaven-Changing Divine Needle' and the 'Nine Marsh Marquis Transformation Technique' were created based on the life structure of Him and His descendants, totaling nine layers.】
【Current Progress: Third Layer (3000/10000)】
There was no doubt this was a God-level technique, because the previous progress limit was one thousand, but now it had become ten thousand, the same as the Heart Sealing Method.
"Cultivating to the third layer allows driving three Dharma treasures, which reaches Venerable Bai Han's requirement."
Although Zhao Xing hadn't executed it yet, he already knew that if he executed it again, his physique wouldn't have horns, but the form of the three descendants.
Of course, to truly Marquis Transform into the Nine Marsh God, he had to cultivate it to the ninth layer and refine all nine Dharma treasures.
"Even if I can drive three Dharma treasures now, I can only transform into a Nine Marsh descendant; after transformation, I am a Nine Marsh descendant, in the demigod realm, possessing three powerful innate secret techniques."
Zhao Xing judged by his internal biological clock that the first step of comprehension had taken about 500 years.
However, Venerable Bai Han said the time flow on the sixth level was different from the first five levels.
Five hundred years had passed, but the outside world had only been 10 years.
"The next step is the second step: drive the three Dharma treasures with the third-layer Nine Marsh God Marquis Transformation technique."
The moment Zhao Xing raised his head, Venerable Bai Han showed an expectant expression in his eyes.
"Comprehended in five hundred years and starting the second step, attempting to drive the Dharma treasure?"
"Truly a genius!"
Azure Flower halos appeared around Zhao Xing, intertwining with the silver light emitted by the divine needles, gradually condensing into a shadow surrounded by nine Marsh patterns.
As the runes merged, the nine Marsh patterns resonated with the silver light of the divine needles.
Three of the Heaven-Changing Divine Needles began to vibrate violently, then shrank rapidly.
As for the other six, they also shrank somewhat, but nowhere near as much as the three dedicated ones.
The Marsh patterns circled the Dharma treasure, causing it to shrink circle by circle; the three bone spikes in the starry sky had already shrunk by half.
However, just at this moment, Zhao Xing felt a stinging pain in his brain, and he vaguely had a bad premonition.
"Why did you stop?" Venerable Bai Han asked.
"Senior, it's still that problem; my magic power value is insufficient to drive three Dharma treasures, unable to form the Heaven-Changing Dharma Domain and refine the three Dharma treasures into my body," Zhao Xing said with some regret.
"My foundation is too shallow; in terms of Heavenly Time Dao cultivation, I am only in the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm, and those unique encounters cannot support me in driving such a powerful Dharma treasure."
Venerable Bai Han nodded and was about to wave his hand, but Zhao Xing spoke again.
"However, Junior has a concept that might be worth a try."
"Tell me about it."
"Please, Senior, remove the suppression of the Dharma Realm so that I can execute the world projection of the Self Faction."
"The Heaven-Changing Dharma Domain requires internal and external harmony; I already possess all external conditions, but I lack the 【Solar Term Boundary Order】; perhaps I can use my internal world to support it; please, Senior, protect me."
"Oh?" Venerable Bai Han's eyes flashed with interest. "What do you mean by that?"
Zhao Xing explained: "Heavenly Time cultivation techniques give birth to the 【Solar Term Boundary Order】; the Solar Term Boundary Order can control the evolution of the cosmic Great Four Seasons of a world."
"In the Marquis Transformation technique, it is the foundation for creating the internal heaven and earth environment required for the Marquis Transformation technique."
"The internal world itself possesses environmental regulation; perhaps it can complete the internal and external harmony."
Venerable Bai Han sighed with emotion: "The development of the cultivation system in your era is much stronger than the era I am in; there are actually so many similarities between the three factions."
"So be it; give it a try." Venerable Bai Han waved his hand, changing the operation of the Dharma Realm's rules.

Zhao Xing discovered he could open his internal world.
"I will protect you; if there is danger, you must not force it, otherwise your Dharma body will disintegrate and your True Spirit will vanish... to fall at this step would be too regrettable," Venerable Bai Han said.
"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded.
After unbinding the internal world, Zhao Xing spent a long time trying.
However, he wasn't trying to refine the Dharma treasure and master the Heaven-Changing Dharma Domain, but was constantly trying to subdue the 'Spirit-Devouring Grass' in his internal world.
"Fast, fast!"
"If I'm discovered, it'll be too late."
Zhao Xing's True Spirit constantly invaded the True Spirit of the Spirit-Devouring Grass.
However, the True Spirit of the Spirit-Devouring Grass was like a naughty child, constantly jumping up and down, resisting and struggling.
As a legendary-level unit, it didn't accept Zhao Xing's training at all.
After all, Zhao Xing was currently only a Lord-level True Spirit, having not passed a True Spirit Tribulation, while it was an innately powerful Spirit-Devouring Grass.
It was far more powerful than Zhao Xing's True Spirit; if it weren't for the suppression of the Primordial Dao Tower, it would have long since counter-killed Zhao Xing.
"What to do?"
Zhao Xing's eyes were red, standing by the primitive ocean of his internal world, anxious.
"Once Venerable Bai Han discovers the abnormality, I'm afraid he will act immediately."
"To deal with him, I only have to completely subdue the Spirit-Devouring Grass, and then use the power of the Boundary-Breaking Divine Stone to make it reach its peak period."
"The Spirit-Devouring Grass in its peak period is comparable to a human demigod; perhaps then I can escape from Venerable Bai Han's clutches."
When the third stinging pain occurred in his brain, Zhao Xing finally discovered the abnormality.
He saw the 'truth' of his surroundings clearly.
He wasn't standing on a green jade slab at all, but lying on a stone platform.
Nine meat nails were nailed into his Dharma body's forehead, abdomen, chest, and four limbs.
It was in the moment of clarity that he saw Venerable Bai Han's true form.
He was lying on an adjacent stone platform, his physical body already completely withered, his hair gone, his flesh and skin constantly wriggling, and there were nine meat nails present as well.
Above Venerable Bai Han's shriveled body appeared a black dog shadow, the dog opening its fangs, a Polar Star floating above its head. Clouds were dense, as if a 'Heavenly Dog Eating the Sun' was about to occur.
The surrounding environment had also turned into a cave dwelling.
Countless specimens were soaked in crystal vessels, including not only humans but also various races Zhao Xing had seen on the lower five levels, including the Dragon race from the Profound Yellow Realm.
Venerable Bai Han presented many skills on the panel.
Two of them caught Zhao Xing's attention the most.
One was 【Eroding Heart Demon Seed】
The other was 【Heavenly Dog Demon Spirit】
The former could seize the Dharma body of others, and the latter could devour the True Spirit of the other party.
Combining the two, one could inherit everything of the target, including their cultivation and cultivation talent, and comprehension.
"Venerable Bai Han himself cannot master the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle divine artifact, but through this inheritance trial, he screened out me, who has the strongest comprehension talent."
"Once I learn it, he will immediately seize the body."
"Planting Dao Seizure—this is a proper Demon Farming Official method!"
Zhao Xing knew he had encountered a true Farming Official demon.
Venerable Bai Han was also proficient in medical Dao, controlling him to death.
If it weren't for the sudden stinging pain in his brain, he would still be trapped in the illusion without knowing it.
Thinking he was accepting the inheritance and inheriting the divine artifact.
Assuming he really didn't know, then all of this was working for Venerable Bai Han.
Zhao Xing was originally able to refine the three divine needles to shrink, and it was precisely because he noticed this point that he suddenly stopped.
Using the excuse that his magic power couldn't support it, he let Venerable Bai Han open the suppression of space by the Dharma Realm.
Only by opening his internal world did he have a glimmer of survival.
Because he still had the legendary-level unit 【Spirit-Devouring Grass】; as long as he could subdue it.
And then stall for time, letting the Spirit-Devouring Grass consume the residual power of the Boundary-Breaking Divine Stone to grow to the demigod level, then there was hope of survival.
This choice was equally crazy; even with the suppression of the Primordial Dao Tower, when the Spirit-Devouring Grass became a complete body and reached the demigod level, could he really control it?
But he had no other way; Venerable Bai Han's sixth-level space was completely isolated from the inside and outside; even if he wanted to report for help through the Primordial Avatar outside, he couldn't.
"Fast!"
Zhao Xing roared in his heart, constantly invading the True Spirit of the Spirit-Devouring Grass. However, the progress was still very slow.
Zhao Xing stalled for time while trying to subdue the Spirit-Devouring Grass in his internal world.
As time passed, Venerable Bai Han also became impatient.
"That sword Dao Venerable is constantly attacking my cave dwelling; his ability is too strong, and I am in a living dead state now; if it weren't for the protection of the sixth-level cave dwelling, I'm afraid I would have been beheaded by now."
"The cave dwelling magic array and this Dharma Realm are all built around the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle; once the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle shifts, I should quickly devour Zhao Xing and leave."
"This is a Dharma body that cultivates all three factions; I have waited for countless ages, and finally an excellent reincarnation container has appeared; success is required, failure is not allowed!"
Venerable Bai Han's physical body was constantly withering, his True Spirit turned into a mass of black mist, wrapped in scarlet demon patterns, and the big dog he turned into was already standing on Zhao Xing's stone platform, drooling.
Reaching the demigod realm, there are still True Spirit Tribulations; at Venerable Bai Han's level.
His tribulation was already so powerful that it couldn't be passed; whether it was reincarnation or any other method, it was impossible to avoid it forever.
Back then, he cultivated medical Dao, in a living dead state, avoiding the detection of the cosmic Great Dao, living in the cave dwelling and waiting.
But now, the final deadline was almost here.
"Zhao Xing, how is your attempt?" Venerable Bai Han, in the illusion, was still a strong image with a ruddy complexion and immortal bones.
"If it doesn't work, your trial will fail, you won't be able to obtain my inheritance, and you will have no fate with the divine object, and will be thrown out of the inheritance space."
Hearing Venerable Bai Han's urging, although Zhao Xing was anxious, he had to remain calm on the surface: "Senior, I feel it's about to succeed; please give me some more time."
"Someone else has ascended to the sixth level; I cannot give you time forever; I will give you at most another thousand years."
Venerable Bai Han issued an ultimatum.
"After a thousand years, if you still haven't succeeded, then you have no fate with the divine object."
A thousand years in the past, Zhao Xing only felt it was incomparably long.
But now he felt it was too little.
Judging from the current progress, he had no possibility of subduing the Spirit-Devouring Grass within a thousand years.
As time drew closer and closer, Zhao Xing could only make one final choice.
"Spirit-Devouring Grass, eat this, and I'll let you out."
"I will feed you to grow, return your freedom, just don't kill me."
Zhao Xing threw the Boundary-Breaking Divine Stone toward the Spirit-Devouring Grass.
After years of consumption, the power of the Boundary-Breaking Divine Stone was already very weak.
First it opened the internal world, evolved many changes, and then was absorbed by the God-level native species.
Now its power was weakened, just enough for the Spirit-Devouring Grass to eat, not enough to burst it.
"Sss, sss, sss~~~"
The True Spirit of the Spirit-Devouring Grass quieted down.
It was like a naughty child suddenly seeing something delicious, finally settling down for a while to focus on eating.
Its roots grew rapidly, beginning to take root deep in the boundless continent, and the nine branches and leaves began to expand rapidly, the abyss patterns on the green leaves becoming more obvious and deep.
"Sss, sss, sss~"
The meteorites and broken stars above the boundless continent began to fall, and the void rivers that were originally stable were now chaotic, beginning to fall violently into those nine leaves.
The Spirit-Devouring Grass, known for devouring all things, refused no one.
When eating the Boundary-Breaking Divine Stone, it even set its sights on the blue life planet in the Yin-Yang Nine Stars.
However, the black gas emitted by the leaves, upon entering the binary star system, quickly shrank back as if electrocuted.
From then on, it no longer set foot in that area.
"Boom~"
The Primordial Dao Tower also began to operate at extreme speed, strengthening the power of suppression.
About nine hundred years later, the Spirit-Devouring Grass had undergone earth-shaking changes.
It was pitch black and purple, completely twisting space-time, as if it were about to escape from the world.
The True Spirit temperament was much quieter than before, but this was just a facade.
Zhao Xing could feel that it was still violent, just 'mature,' knowing that the Primordial Dao Tower was suppressing it, and struggling was in vain.
"Spirit-Devouring, I gave you food, and I'll give you freedom; don't attack me..." Zhao Xing constantly instilled this thought.
It lasted for about a hundred years.
The deadline for Venerable Bai Han was also getting closer and closer.
"Zhao Xing, time is up."
Venerable Bai Han spoke.
"It's a pity, you... what are you doing?!"
Venerable Bai Han suddenly felt a shock in his heart and was furious.
The black Heavenly Dog immediately pounced on Zhao Xing's physical body, and at the same time, a black Heavenly Dog appeared in Zhao Xing's sea of consciousness.
Eroding Heart Demon Seed, Heavenly Dog Demon Spirit, both secret techniques activated simultaneously!
The sunlight above the dog dimmed, and he swallowed it in one gulp.
This bite seemed to bite into Zhao Xing's soul.
However, Zhao Xing's soul had ninety-plus split souls, and the other party only swallowed one split soul, while the rest fled in all directions.
Through the non-distance jumping of the Primordial Avatar, it constantly flashed in this battlefield of the sea of consciousness life palace.
"What kind of spell is this?"
The big dog formed by Venerable Bai Han was somewhat stunned; he had never seen such a method.
However, he immediately felt danger.
This danger came from the outside world!
"Boom!"
When the Heavenly Dog pounced on Zhao Xing's Dharma body.
A leaf suddenly appeared, covering Zhao Xing's whole body.
A black abyss appeared on the leaf, and the terrifying attraction made Venerable Bai Han brake hard in mid-air.
Then he quickly ran back above his own shell.
"Legendary-level unit?!" Venerable Bai Han was both shocked and angry: "How could you subdue a legendary-level unit... Bastard, you lied to me!"
Zhao Xing couldn't speak; he didn't need to subdue it at all; the Spirit-Devouring Grass didn't listen to his command at all now; he just released it!
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!"
Innate Secret Skill · Nine Abyss Devouring World!
Venerable Bai Han's original body, including the stone platform, as well as the vessels containing the specimens, were all destroyed instantly.
Then it spread to the entire space, the space collapsed first, revealing the floating island.
Only the location of the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle remained intact.
Venerable Bai Han was precisely hiding around the other six bone spikes, so he wasn't killed by the Spirit-Devouring Grass.
"Sss, sss~"
The purple-black Qi of the Spirit-Devouring Grass spread toward the nine divine needles.
It even wanted to swallow these needles!
Because the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle, as a single piece, was only at the magic treasure level, not a divine object; nine pieces as one was the divine object level.
"Wishful thinking!"
Venerable Bai Han roared, and the three Pu Luo God needles emitted brilliant light, starting to destroy and absorb the power of the Spirit-Devouring Grass in return.
The two forces began to wrestle with each other.
Zhao Xing couldn't even breathe.
But if the Spirit-Devouring Grass leaves left him even a little bit, being affected by this terrifying power, he would be reduced to ashes.
"Needle devours grass, grass swallows needle; who can win."
As a legendary-level unit that triggered a super-large-scale natural disaster in history, the Spirit-Devouring Grass was undoubtedly powerful.
However, this was in the territory Venerable Bai Han had built for countless years.
The moment the Spirit-Devouring Grass appeared and caused massive destruction, the entire space underwent a terrifying Marquis Transformation again.
Mighty water and land emerged, and a cave dwelling was recast, restoring its original appearance.
The Spirit-Devouring Grass destroyed one layer of space, and Venerable Bai Han created another.
In the cycle, Venerable Bai Han gradually gained the upper hand in the confrontation with the Spirit-Devouring Grass.
"Whoosh!"
The two leaves of the Spirit-Devouring Grass swayed left and right, seemingly observing something.
"Pop~"
The leaves cut through space, tearing the Dharma Realm, revealing a spatial crack.
"Stop!"
Venerable Bai Han was shocked.
However, during the stalemate between the two forces, the space collapsed with a bang, a sword light tore through the space, and a swordsman surrounded by three bamboo swords stepped through the air!
Shen Jiu, Venerable Bamboo Sword's gaze, first fell on the position wrapped in leaves and shadows.
Then he looked at the big dog condensed from black mist, and the divine needles emitting different sizes in the sky.
After coming here for over four hundred years, Venerable Bamboo Sword finally opened his mouth to say: "No wonder they offered so much."
Wei Tianchen offered a Seven-Star Li Fire Divine Sword, just to capture Zhao Xing; he had originally been very puzzled by this mission, thinking they offered too much.
Now that he saw it, he felt this reward wasn't high at all.
Rise!
Venerable Bamboo Sword reached out and summoned.
Suddenly, a stinging pain arose in Zhao Xing's brain.
A bamboo sword suddenly appeared in his life palace sea of consciousness.
"Sss, sss~"
The bamboo sword accurately pierced the black dog in the soul state.
Zhao Xing only then understood what the stinging pain was because of.
It turned out this sword Dao Venerable had hidden a 'Heart Sword' in his life palace.
Originally, he was isolated by the Dharma Realm space, and Venerable Bamboo Sword couldn't move the Heart Sword.
But now that he had entered the sixth level, he immediately repelled the black dog transformed by Venerable Bai Han.
What.
Forcibly interrupting the process of the Heavenly Dog Eating the Sun, this also prevented the Heavenly Dog Demon Spirit from devouring Zhao Xing's True Spirit.
Crack. "Venerable Bamboo Sword?" Zhao Xing saw the name on the panel, but didn't recognize this person.
"He's not here to kill me, he's here to save me? Could this be an arrangement by the Imperial Heavenly Master?"
The sword light tore through the space, and he couldn't guess, but the result before his eyes undoubtedly gave him a great hope of survival.
Venerable Bamboo Sword naturally couldn't allow Venerable Bai Han to mess with Zhao Xing.
Otherwise, the mission wouldn't be completed.
He wouldn't be able to get the Seven-Star Li Fire Divine Sword.
"You are courting death!"
Venerable Bai Han roared, driving the three Pu Luo God needles to pierce toward Venerable Bamboo Sword.
Venerable Bamboo Sword had his four bamboo swords return to their positions, immediately slashing at the black mist: "The person I want, it's not your turn, a Demon Farming Official, to covet."
"Three Thousand Sword Worlds, appear!"
Heart Sword protected the body, and the other three bamboo swords transformed into billions of sword lights, the dense sword lights forming a Sword Dharma Realm, isolating the divine needles outside.
"Break, break, break!"
Venerable Bai Han manipulated the three divine needles to move, piercing through layers of sword worlds.
But the sword worlds were full of vitality; no matter how many the divine needles pierced, they would generate as many.
Plus the interference of the Spirit-Devouring Grass.
Venerable Bai Han was equivalent to fighting two demigods alone.
"Ah, ah, ah!"
Venerable Bai Han was stung in the True Spirit by the sword world and roared constantly.
At this time, he felt some regret.
Venerable Bai Han had mastered the 【Pu Luo God】 among the three driving spells, but his body had already withered.
And he had the eleventh True Spirit Tribulation hanging over his head; cooperating with the divine needle Marquis Transformation with his own True Spirit and Dharma body was no different from courting death.
If he had seized Zhao Xing's body earlier, he could have used Zhao Xing's body to insert the three divine needles into his body and execute the 【Pu Luo God Transformation】.
Then, this sword Dao Venerable might not be unable to be solved.
But he was greedy; he wanted to wait for Zhao Xing to learn 【Nine Marsh God】 before seizing the body, so that after seizing the body, he could use six needles, which would be a huge improvement! And he could also solve the trouble of Venerable Bamboo Sword.
Of course, his greed was normal; for these four hundred years, Venerable Bai Han had already understood some of the situation outside.
He knew there were powerhouses like Emperor Meng Wu guarding outside.
If there wasn't enough strength or hidden means, he wouldn't be able to escape even if he got out.
"Could it be that this is my tenth tribulation? In the end, still unable to escape?"
True Spirit Tribulation, some were in the form of thunder clouds from heaven, some were tribulations of
"Could it be that this is my tenth tribulation? In the end, is it still impossible to escape?"
The True Spirit Tribulation: some take the form of thunderclouds descending from the heavens, some are tribulations of karma from the unseen, and others are tribulations of the heart.
Its form varies from person to person; it is unknown and diverse.
Suppressed by the joint efforts of the Spirit-Devouring Grass and Venerable Bamboo Sword, Venerable Bai Han, who had fallen into a disadvantage, felt his true spirit weakening at a speed faster than ever before.
He immediately understood that this was his tenth tribulation.
"After evading for countless epochs, the tribulation has finally arrived."
"If one does not become a god, one will die in the end. Hahaha, you all must die too." Venerable Bai Han laughed maniacally.
"Bang!"
The Heavenly Dog-form true spirit was shattered by the bamboo sword for the first time, turning into a state of black mist.
Immediately after, Venerable Bai Han condensed once again.
Zhao Xing watched, terrified.
This person was truly a die-hard of the Marquis Change faction; even his true spirit produced an effect similar to the Marquis Change Method.
Relying on the layout of the cave dwelling, he was actually able to condense repeatedly, dying and coming back to life.
"This secret technique of the Heavenly Dog Demon Spirit is so strong. Facing a Sword Dao Venerable, it can actually persist for so long." While Zhao Xing was shocked by the power of Venerable Bamboo Sword, he was also surprised by
the ferocity of Venerable Bai Han.
In the era of Venerable Bai Han, there were many sects, and ancient cultivators were uninhibited.
Demonic arts were everywhere; conversely, in the current era, powerful demonic arts are very rare.
The super powers joined forces to eliminate qi deviation, so naturally, they had to ban some demonic arts.
"What a pity."
Seeing the black mist condensing more and more slowly, Zhao Xing could not help but feel regretful. It seemed he would be unable to force the cultivation method of the Heavenly Dog Demon Spirit out of Venerable Bai Han.
"Bang!"
After being annihilated repeatedly over forty thousand times, Venerable Bai Han was finally eliminated.
"Swish, swish, swish~"
When the three bamboo swords returned, this Sword Dao Venerable also fell silent.
All three of his bamboo swords had developed numerous cracks and dents.
The swords were battered to this state just to eliminate Venerable Bai Han.
And this was Venerable Bai Han in a weakened state; what was the difference?
It was nothing more than not having a handy weapon!
Logically speaking, Venerable Bamboo Sword was also a demigod; he shouldn't be this poor.
But he did not build a faction; he was a lone swordsman in the universe. In the current landscape of the Profound Spirit Star Region, there were actually not many ways to accumulate wealth.
He had exhausted his family fortune long ago in order to break through to the God Realm.
Fortunately, this time, he would finally be able to obtain a divine sword.
"Swish, swish, swish~"
When Venerable Bai Han's demon spirit exploded, the Spirit-Devouring Grass once again displayed its characteristic of causing destruction.
It gathered everything that Venerable Bai Han had dropped, and even
swallowed the nine needles into its leaves.
Without anyone controlling them, the nine Heavenly Change Needles were merely magic tools.
"Clang!"
Four swords aimed simultaneously at the Spirit-Devouring Grass wrapping around Zhao Xing.
"Senior..." Zhao Xing panicked and immediately sent a voice transmission: "Senior, this is not my intention. Venerable Bai Han's belongings should belong to you, Senior, but I cannot control the Spirit-Devouring Grass."
He thought Venerable Bamboo Sword was angry because the Spirit-Devouring Grass had occupied all the spoils of war.
"Senior saved me; how could I still covet treasures? It is truly that I cannot control it..." Zhao Xing smiled bitterly.
"Who said I came to save you?" Venerable Bamboo Sword said indifferently.
Not here to save me?
Zhao Xing was startled.
"Then, Senior is..."
Venerable Bamboo Sword did not answer, only saying: "I am also not here to kill you, Zhao Xing. You have a Primordial Incarnation; even for me, it is troublesome to control your main body so it cannot escape."
"So, assuming you don't want to suffer, cooperate with me honestly."
Zhao Xing's heart sank.
He had not expected Venerable Bamboo Sword to be here to capture him.
Who could afford to hire a Sword Dao demigod?
Jin Yan? If he were to hire someone, he could just kill him directly; there would be no need to capture him. Furthermore, his best method would be to do it himself.
Emperor Xuanying of the War God Hall? He had only spoken a word for Emperor Fuzhi; it shouldn't go that far.
Was it the demon race? The demon race had been scammed by a karmic fraud in the World-Passing Tower, so they had a reason to act, but it was also quite far-fetched.
Thinking it over, the only individual who could afford the price and would want to capture him rather than kill him
was only one person.
Ancient Physician Wei Tianchen!
Thinking of this, Master Zhao felt numb.
He was actually going to be captured by Wei Tianchen twice.
This guy was too rich; he could truly do whatever he wanted.
"Senior, I will cooperate." Zhao Xing sighed, "But the Spirit-Devouring Grass is truly not something I can control."
"Simple." Venerable Bamboo Sword unleashed all four swords, and the Spirit-Devouring Grass was forced by him to shrink back into the inner world.
Once back in the inner world, the Spirit-Devouring Grass was suppressed by the Primordial Dao Tower again.
However, this fellow's intelligence seemed to have matured quite a bit, and it did not resist much.
Staying in the inner world with good food and drink was better than being killed by that Sword Dao Venerable outside.
In this way, the treasures dropped by Venerable Bai Han, including the set of Heavenly Change Needles, all entered Zhao Xing's inner world.
But Venerable Bamboo Sword seemed not to care.
"Senior, how do you want me to cooperate?" With the Spirit-Devouring Grass shrunk back, Zhao Xing also regained normal movement, though he still had nine holes on his body, and the Heavenly Dog Demon Spirit's invasion of his sea of consciousness had caused some damage to his Life Palace.
"Swish!"
A bamboo sword drilled into Zhao Xing's Life Palace, then split into ninety-six, each one hanging above Zhao Xing's head.
"It is easy to enter the Bai Han Realm, but difficult to leave." Venerable Bamboo Sword said. "You will follow me out."
"After we get out, leave the Star Fall Ancient Path immediately."
"If you send a message, or activate a non-distance teleportation... as long as I feel anything is even slightly off, the Heart Sword will instantly destroy all your souls." Venerable Bamboo Sword provided the kidnapping plan.
"I only seek wealth, not your life. If you cooperate, once you are in the hands of the employer, if you can escape, that is your own ability."
"Fine, I understand." Zhao Xing took a deep breath, "Everything will be done according to Senior's instructions."
"Swish~" Venerable Bamboo Sword split the void and drilled inside.
At this moment, the Dharma Realm lost the maintenance of Venerable Bai Han and, having been damaged by Venerable Bamboo Sword, the second level, the Extreme Star Floating Island, also collapsed rapidly.
Zhao Xing and the disguised Venerable Bamboo Sword left quickly. While the people on the second level were still fleeing for their lives, they had already arrived at the entrance of the Bai Han Realm.
Following the safe passage, they returned to the Qitian Base.
After Zhao Xing came out, the first person he saw was Ji Si.
"Grand Minister of Agriculture, you have finally come out. Your incarnation said it suddenly lost connection to the Bai Han Realm level, and we were all very worried about your situation."
"I am fine." Zhao Xing shook his head, "Ji Si, I am going to a place with the Sovereign of Lanshan."
"Where to?" Ji Si asked.
"Don't ask where; there is important business to attend to." Standing next to Zhao Xing was Venerable Bamboo Sword, though he now appeared as a fat, middle-aged man.
'Sovereign of Lanshan'—this was the identity Venerable Bamboo Sword was disguised as.
The Lanshan Dynasty was a small dynasty in the Profound Spirit Star Region, established for a very short time and located on the edge of the desolate region, but it could still be considered a formal country.
Actually, it couldn't be called a disguise, because it was already one of Venerable Bamboo Sword's identities; it was just that Venerable Bamboo Sword was too lazy to manage the dynasty, and its territory was not even as large as the Beihe Star System.
Creating it was merely for the convenience of accepting missions and acting in the Shadow Sanctuary.
"Does the Grand Minister of Agriculture have anything to instruct?" Ji Si instinctively felt something was wrong.
This had nothing to do with divination; it was just a faint intuition generated because she was too familiar with Zhao Xing and their fates were closely linked.
"No, I will be back soon." Zhao Xing said.
"Yes." Ji Si nodded and watched Zhao Xing leave.
Zhao Xing had experienced over 1, 00 years in the Bai Han Realm, but only 400 years had passed in the outside world.
When he left the Star Fall Ancient Path and was free from supervision, Venerable Bamboo Sword took Zhao Xing on a boundary ship, continuously traveling deep into the void rivers.
Venerable Bamboo Sword stood before a bronze mirror filled with mist.
Zhao Xing watched from a distance behind him.
Venerable Bamboo Sword did not restrict his movements, but Zhao Xing did not dare to act rashly.
Intuition told him that Venerable Bamboo Sword was ruthless and spoke little; if he really tried any tricks, he would die instantly.
"Senior, where are we going?"
Venerable Bamboo Sword did not speak.
"Senior, may I use the Star Mirror? I won't do anything else; I just want to see what has happened in these 400 years."
"As you wish."
Venerable Bamboo Sword replied indifferently.
Zhao Xing immediately took out the Star Mirror.
His current Star Mirror was a crippled version; he could not send messages to others, only look at major world events.
He wanted to see news of Emperor Wudu or Emperor Hongshan breaking through to become demigods.
But he saw nothing.
It stood to reason that breaking through to a demigod was not a matter of a moment.
He did see a lot of news about Bowei.
"Since a few hundred years ago, Bowei has been continuously traveling to various places, visiting super powers, and holding Dharma assemblies to preach. The furthest place he went was even to the territory of the Wanhe demon race."
"It seems the matter of Emperor Fuzhi had no impact; Bowei's reputation is unshakable and has even grown higher."
"Hmm?"
Zhao Xing's sea of consciousness suddenly shook, a wave of memories flooded his mind, and the Heart Sword within his sea of consciousness trembled accordingly.
Venerable Bamboo Sword turned his head sharply to look over.
"It wasn't me, I didn't do anything!" Zhao Xing said quickly.
"I know." Venerable Bamboo Sword looked at Zhao Xing with some surprise, "The Ancient Kingdom of Yuanhai, the Profound Spirit Dharma Assembly... so you were once called Tianningzi?"
Zhao Xing's heart shook: "This, how do you know..."
Venerable Bamboo Sword gazed into the void: "The Profound Spirit History reflects all domains. Just now, it unsealed a segment of history for all powerhouses above the Fourth Tribulation Emperor."
That segment of history of the Ancient Kingdom of Yuanhai was actually unsealed on a small scale?
How could this be? Back then, several God Realm entities joined forces to seal it; only a small number of people should have retained the right to know. Zhao Xing speculated that these were mostly high-ranking Emperors or demigods of super powers.
Venerable Bamboo Sword actually said it unsealed it for everyone above the Fourth Tribulation Emperor?
"Strange, it seems you can also receive it?" Venerable Bamboo Sword suddenly looked at Zhao Xing.
Zhao Xing did not answer; his eyes were vacant, and a flickering scene appeared before him.
On the eighth floor of the World-Passing Tower, Bowei held half of the Profound Spirit History, looking at the nebula vortex on the ceiling.
Within the Knowledge Realm, the figure of Zhixin slowly emerged.
"Bowei, have you thought it through?"
"Teacher, I have long been prepared." Bowei's tone was firm, then he asked in return, "Is Teacher prepared?"
"To hear the Dao in the morning, one can die in the evening." Zhixin smiled, "If that really is the Ninth Dharma Realm up there, remember to burn some paper money to tell me."
"Crack, crack, crack~"
Having said this, Zhixin's figure shattered inch by inch, the fragments falling into the dome like brilliant meteors.
The first artifact of the Academy, the 【Knowledge Realm】, disintegrated at this moment.
Zhixin sacrificed himself for the Dao, paving the final step for his disciple.
Regardless of whether Bowei could open the legendary Ninth Dharma Realm, from this moment on, Zhixin as a person would no longer exist in the world.
"Teacher, thank you..." Bowei watched the brilliant meteors shatter and whispered to himself.
He threw half of the Profound Spirit History onto the dome.
"Bang!"
Amidst an explosion of golden light, the pavilion hall turned into nothingness.
Waiting for the golden light to stabilize, a staircase appeared before Bowei, and he walked up the golden staircase step by step.
With every step he took, Bowei left a footprint.
There were eighteen steps in total.
Each step passed reflected the circumstances of Bowei's tribulations.
If Zhao Xing were here, he would certainly be dumbfounded.
Venerable Bai Han passed the ninth tribulation to become a demigod, painstakingly cultivating for countless years, yet died in the tenth tribulation.
Venerable Bamboo Sword had only experienced one more tribulation than him.
Yet Bowei had actually passed an astonishing eighteen tribulations!
He had simply set a record for a demigod passing tribulations!
When Bowei reached the end, the golden light gradually dissipated.
At the end appeared a stone gate covered in chains, exuding endless chill.
"Clatter~"
The Profound Spirit History in his hand flipped continuously, divine power surging through the depths of the stone gate.
Bowei absorbed a vast and mighty power, and immediately after, his whole body began to transform.
However, this breakthrough did not make Bowei happy; on the contrary, his pupils suddenly dilated, quickly occupied by terror.
"So that's how it is. This is the Ninth Dharma Realm.
"It is a seal, it is a passage, but it is definitely not a legacy... Hahahaha.
"Teacher... you died in vain!"
Bowei's whole body shone with white light, a trace of a manic smile appearing on his face. As he laughed, a line of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
The tears dripped down, reflecting the scene behind Bowei.
Three streaks of golden light emerged: a Palace Master of the Origin Heavenly Palace, the Great Emperor of the Red Star, and a Hall Master of the Reincarnation Temple.
Deep within the stone gate, a roar emerged.
"Crack, crack, crack~"
A crack appeared on the icy stone gate, and a ray of light flashed and vanished.
"Leave Him to me." The Palace Master of the Origin Heavenly Palace pursued the light and shadow.
"Bowei." The voice of the Hall Master of the Reincarnation Temple was cold, "You killed the previous Grand Elder of the Academy, and at the cost of damaging the Academy's supreme treasure, you exchanged it for your own achievement of the God Realm, violating the purpose for which the Academy was founded."
"Now, another God Realm entity is about to break the seal because of you. The crimes you have committed will be judged by the Reincarnation Temple. What else do you have to say?"
"Crimes?" After the tears disappeared, Bowei turned around, his face indifferent. A pair of emotionless eyes fell upon this Hall Master who was speaking.
Facing Bowei's gaze, the latter could not help but frown.
"Hall Master Tuning, you do not have the strength to judge me." Bowei walked down the stairs slowly, starlight emerging from his fingertips.
"If it weren't for the Great Emperor coming, relying on you alone, let alone killing me, you wouldn't even have the qualifications to take one move from me."
Hall Master Tuning still looked at Bowei coldly, but he did not refute.
Having lifted the restrictions and become a God Realm entity, Bowei was indeed not someone he could resist.
It was just that Bowei had just become a god, and his strength was not yet stable. If Bowei were given a little more time, it would be difficult for anyone to check and balance him.
"Bowei." Great Emperor Chixing flashed and appeared in front of Hall Master Tuning. "Close the World-Passing Tower, return the divine power of the Profound Spirit History..."
Zhao Xing rolled his eyes; the dim scene before him seemed to collapse because of the Great Emperor's arrival.
He came back to his senses, somewhat dazed, and happened to see Venerable Bamboo Sword casting a curious gaze.
"I am rarely curious." Venerable Bamboo Sword stared at Zhao Xing, "Can you satisfy my curiosity and tell me what content you were informed of by the Profound Spirit History?"
"No." Zhao Xing shook his head.
He had seen Bowei achieve the God Realm, and also seen a stone gate exuding chill, as well as the appearance of three God Realm entities.
But he really could not tell Venerable Bamboo Sword, because this was encrypted information transmitted to him by the divine power of the Profound Spirit History.
Just like Fan Qianrou's Heart Sealing Method, it was also something that could not be told.
Certain Dao soldiers and magic tools are soul-bound, and information is the same!
"No?" Venerable Bamboo Sword pondered the meaning, nodding slightly. "If you can't, then forget it; I'm not that curious."
Next, the two stopped talking, and the boundary ship fell into silence.
Zhao Xing knew that the Profound Spirit Star Region would certainly set off a storm on a small scale at this moment.
Bowei becoming a God Realm entity, the Knowledge Mirror shattering... these secrets might not spread, but the matter of the Ancient Kingdom of Yuanhai and the Profound Spirit Dharma Assembly had already been unsealed; this alone was enough to cause an uproar.
The relatives and friends of the Reincarnation Realm who were forced to reincarnate or died back then would inevitably want an explanation after knowing this.
From whom would they seek it? The Dongyan Ancient Clan? They were already wiped out! Qing Yuzi? The Reincarnation Temple? Do they have the strength?
Thinking it over, Zhao Xing discovered that he was the one most likely to be the target of concentrated fire.
"Old Qing said that if we are fated, we will meet in the Third Epoch, with an air that I wouldn't live past the Third Epoch. Could it be he anticipated that this matter would explode sooner or later?" Zhao Xing could not help but show a bitter smile.
Bowei became a god, an ancient god was released, and the World-Passing Tower was actually some kind of seal and passage?
Could Bowei still live? Was it he who released this information, or was there another reason?
"An eighteen-tribulation Venerable achieved the God Realm; Bowei is incredibly awesome this time, but he actually fears the Great Emperor."
"I really don't know how strong the Great Emperor is."
"The God's Arrival version not only advanced but completely headed toward another ending, hiss..."
The vast amount of information obtained this time had completely exceeded Zhao Xing's cognition. For a moment, Zhao Xing's heart was in chaos, his thoughts mixed.
"Clang!"
The Heart Sword in the sea of consciousness hummed; it was Venerable Bamboo Sword helping him stabilize his state of mind.
"Many thanks, Senior." Zhao Xing took a deep breath and bowed in thanks.
"Don't misunderstand; I just don't want you to die from qi deviation." Venerable Bamboo Sword said indifferently, "If you die, I won't be able to complete the mission."
Zhao Xing was speechless.
However, Venerable Bamboo Sword's words also made him much clearer-headed.
That was true; he was still in danger himself, so why worry about so
many things?
Only by surviving would he have the qualifications to explore the secrets of the God Realm.
If he couldn't survive, everything would be empty talk.
"Senior Bamboo Sword, where exactly are we going to meet Wei Tianchen? And how much longer?"
Seeing that Zhao Xing had guessed it, Venerable Bamboo Sword did not deny it: "Soon, we will arrive at the Chenluo Desolate Region immediately."
