Chapter 484: Return and Harvest, Meeting Emperor Chixing!

After Zhao Xing took out the statue of Qing Qing Yu Zi, he used it as a medium to carry the mysterious technique from the Ancestor's Molted Bone.

"Crack, crack, crack~"

The statue quickly developed ten cracks. The statue, which had originally been carved with lifelike detail, was suddenly unrecognizable.

Fortunately, after the tenth crack, no new ones appeared. The statue of Qing Qing Yu Zi had, in the end, managed to carry this secret technique.

"Old Qing is really useful! Awesome!" Zhao Xing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After the rubbing was completed, he did not linger any longer.

After all, the divine patterns had been rubbed, and the True Spirit Heavenly Poison had been cleared. Entering this time could already be considered an over-fulfillment of the mission.

No one knew what other tricks remained on the Ancestor's Molted Bone. Zhao Xing did not want to invite more trouble, so he immediately returned his soul to his body and retreated along the original path.

Returning to the internal space of his clone, Zhao Xing sent a message to the Five Poisons Emperor: "Teacher, I am coming out. Are you ready on your end?"

His own Grand Void clone still could not escape, being pressed firmly by the mountain.

He had no other thoughts; he recalled his split soul with a single thought and intended to leave.

Since he only had one clone, he still had to borrow Zuo Zuo Qiyu's clone as a medium to complete the Distance-less Teleportation.

"Rest assured, I have checked it thoroughly. Zuo Zuo Qiyu's clone is practically an empty shell; you can use it without worry." The Five Poisons

Emperor looked at the motionless Grand Beginning clone beside him.

"Good, I'm coming."

Zhao Xing took a deep breath, then first activated 【Control of Dao】, locking onto the Zuo Zuo Qiyu clone outside the mountain.

Since this Grand Beginning clone of Zuo Zuo Qiyu was now just an empty shell, Zhao Xing easily completed the takeover, molding it into his own shape.

Immediately following this, he activated Distance-less Teleportation, and Zhao Xing's true self instantly appeared inside Old Zuo's Grand Beginning clone.

"Whoosh~"

It was only an instant after coming out that Zhao Xing immediately flew away from inside the Grand Beginning clone.

Because he felt that even though Zuo Zuo Qiyu's split soul was not here, the residual Dao rhyme was still repelling him, filled with killing intent.

"Withdraw."

Once Zhao Xing's true self emerged, the Five Poisons Emperor immediately withdrew the empty shell clone to avoid any negative influence on the two of them.

"Phew~"

The Five Poisons Emperor let out a long breath.

He hadn't been serious many times in his life; balancing the conflict between Zhao Xing and Zuo Zuo Qiyu counted as one.

Fortunately, there were no major problems.

"How was it?"

"I had some gains." Zhao Xing nodded.

"You must return quickly." The Five Poisons Emperor returned the Flower-Amongst Chair to Zhao Xing. "Do not stay here."

"Teacher, am I just leaving like this?" Zhao Xing asked. "Now that

my True Spirit Heavenly Poison has been completely eliminated, perhaps I can help a little..." He couldn't help with the Demon Race Emperor, but Zhao Xing was still confident in dealing with a Demon Race Lord.

"Go, go, go. What can you help with? Zuo Zuo Qiyu has already gone; you will only add to the chaos if you go."

"After you return, go back to the Primordial Realm immediately and report to Senior Gu Luohe!"

The Five Poisons Emperor forcibly pressed Zhao Xing onto the Flower-Amongst Chair, urging him to leave.

"Alright, Teacher, take care."

Zhao Xing did not insist on staying; after all, if Zuo Zuo Qiyu was there, there was indeed no need for a second person to help.

"Flower-Amongst Chair, activate!"

Holding the statue of Qing Qing Yu Zi, Zhao Xing, along with the chair, began to turn ethereal.

Transmission Building, Eighth Floor.

Bowei, followed by a mirror, slowly flew through a space filled with light orbs.

Compared to the seventh floor, Bowei had obtained greater authorization.

Here, there were red light orbs everywhere. He could view the causal disturbances of time and space that had truly occurred in history, and he even saw Qing Qing Yu Zi!

"Sovereign Marquis Tian You..." Bowei reached out to manipulate them, and about thirty red-glowing light orbs appeared in a row in front of him.

In every light orb, there was a Qing Qing Yu Zi. Although their images differed, they were connected in a string.

In the last light orb, it displayed the scene of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom Dharma Assembly, the moment Qing Qing Yu Zi became a god.

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is." Bowei suddenly realized: "The seventh floor allowed me to absorb power, and the eighth floor allows me to observe the God Realm preliminarily. So this is how Qing Qing Yu Zi became a god."

Bowei could see the trajectory of the current Qing Qing Yu Zi's movement in time and space. With the help of the Transmission Building, he could spy on the past and present of the God Realm and understand the origin of his roots!

For example, in the time and space 22 epochs before the Desolate Realm, there was also a 'Qing Qing Yu Zi' there.

Bowei looked over curiously and found that Qing Qing Yu Zi was saying something in grief and indignation, like "don't," "bastard," and the like.

"What is he saying?" Although Bowei could see it, there were still many things he didn't understand.

However, seeing Qing Qing Yu Zi so grief-stricken, even without knowing why, Bowei still revealed a smile.

Because this meant that the God Realm was not high and mighty; they would also get angry, and there were things they were powerless to do.

"It sounds like Zhao Xing did something that made him unhappy." A smile appeared on the corner of Bowei's mouth. "I've caught you!"

Being able to see clues was a very good start. In the future, he would inevitably be able to spy on more information and uncover the secrets of the God Realm!

"Hum~"

Suddenly, the entire eighth floor of the Transmission Building began to shake.

"Teacher, what happened?" Bowei looked at the Tongshi Realm beside him. At this time, besides Zhixin, there was already a phantom of the Transmission Building inside the Tongshi Realm, which meant his teacher had also taken the first step.

The first step to becoming the artifact spirit of the Transmission Building.

"Zhao Xing is returning via your Flower-Between-Chairs." Zhi Xin answered quickly, "But it seems there is a problem."

"What problem?" Bowei asked.

"The Flower-Amongst Chair was crafted by you, which is equivalent to replacing the original function of the Realm Jade. You hid three strands of power within the Flower-Amongst Chair. Due to your endowment, the Flower-Amongst Chair is equivalent to a Realm Jade with no upper limit on its quota."

"It is rapidly consuming the Realm Spirit quota of the Transmission Building. It has currently exceeded 300 million." "How much?!!" Bowei could no longer smile.

He immediately took out a Realm Jade with an archaic shape; this was one of the cores of the Transmission Building and the mother body of all Realm Jades.

After Bowei refined it, he obtained a function: Replacement.

That is, taking matter from this time and space to exchange for Realm Spirit quota, and then endowing practitioners with the Realm Spirit quota to enter the Transmission Building.

The higher the Realm Spirit value of the mother jade, the more quotas Bowei could issue, and the greater the help for controlling the Transmission Building. Functions like 【Six-Pillar Jade Tablet】 were also inseparable from it.

In other words, Bowei was accumulating Realm Spirit value through the mother jade to achieve his goal of becoming the master of the Transmission Building.

When Bowei first discovered the mother jade, it only had a quota of 100 million. After the first batch of quotas was opened, Bowei earned about 2.5 billion in Realm Spirit value quota.

But now, the quota inside his mother jade had suddenly decreased by 300 million, and it was still decreasing rapidly.

In the time it took to chat with Zhixin, it had already reached a staggering 500 million!

"My god..." Bowei was completely dumbfounded.

He had just been mocking Qing Qing Yu Zi for falling into Zhao Xing's pit.

He didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, he himself would become a victim.

The Realm Spirit value was being consumed like flowing water, and the numbers appearing on the mirror were shrinking rapidly.

Bowei subconsciously reached out to grab, as if trying to catch something.

But in the blink of an eye, the teleportation was already completed.

Even if he wanted to cut off the teleportation function of the Flower-Amongst Chair and leave Zhao Xing stranded in history, it was already too late.

100 million!

The number finally settled.

Bowei was dumbstruck.

"This, this, what on earth happened..."

He originally had 2.5 billion in Realm Spirit value, but now only 100 million remained!

Zhao Xing's one return had actually consumed 2.4 billion of his Realm Spirit value quota!

Collecting fees from practitioners to convert into Realm Spirit value quota, working hard to maintain operations, the 2.5 billion Realm Spirit value accumulated was now just a fraction!

Back to square one overnight!

Bowei felt completely numb.

How was this any different from robbery?

"Why, why on earth..." Bowei muttered to himself, completely unable to understand.

Zhixin was also shocked to the point of speechlessness.

After a long while, he offered comfort: "Bowei, I think you shouldn't mess with him anymore in the future."

Even a God Realm being like Qing Qing Yu Zi could be pitted. Zhixin suspected that if

Bowei continued to list Zhao Xing as a core member of the God-Making Project, it would be a very dangerous thing.

... Unlike the return teleportation of the Realm Jade, returning by relying on the Flower-Amongst Chair felt very long to Zhao Xing.

A bizarre world appeared before his eyes, filled with red light, and countless lines intertwined above the long river. These red lines also passed through his body, but he felt nothing unusual, only occasionally seeing flashes of images and figures, which made one's heart tremble.

It seemed as long as an epoch had passed before Zhao Xing discovered that these strange phenomena had dissipated, and he appeared in the hall on the sixth floor of the Transmission Building, chair and all.

"Back?" Zhao Xing looked around. He seemed to have returned, but this process was different from usual, and he couldn't be sure.

Swish~

It wasn't until Bowei's figure appeared that he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Greetings, Great Elder!"

"Fortunately, I did not fail the mission; I have returned alive!"

Zhao Xing was completely unaware that he had consumed 2.4 billion of Bowei's Realm Spirit value. Being able to return to the 2nd epoch of the Desolate Realm, he felt close to even seeing a dog, let alone Bowei, who had truly cured his illness. At this moment, his attitude toward Bowei was much better.

Bowei, however, was expressionless.

Fortunately, did not fail the mission?

Why didn't you just die there?

Taking a deep breath, Bowei managed to pull out a smile: "Zhao Xing, I am very glad you are alive."

"Elder, my True Spirit Heavenly Poison has been completely cleared, and the time-space loop of the Transmission Building has been completed. I wonder if I can..."

Next time? He still wanted a next time?!

"Zhao Xing, you should go back first. We will talk about entering the Transmission Building later." Bowei waved his hand, directly withdrawing the Flower-Amongst Chair, and then a force surrounded him, throwing Zhao Xing out.

"Eh? Great Elder..."

After Zhao Xing was thrown out, he spun hundreds of times before stopping. In the process of spinning, he seemed to hear people whispering.

"Yo, who is this guy, flying so uniquely."

"Seems to be the Si Nong Zhao who wrote 'Earth Changes in the Soil Era'."

"The Sacred Land of the Academy, behaving like this, what kind of decorum is this!"

"Get lost, where did this old pedant come from? Why do you care how our Si Nong Zhao flies?"

"Old senior, hurry up and leave. The ones surrounding us are the Si Nong of the Taigu Zhi Qiu. Besides, talking bad about the Holy Son will get you beaten."

"..."

Hmm? Why does it seem like I've heard this passage somewhere... Zhao Xing stabilized his figure and looked up, only to find that there was no one around at all, just some illusory figures flashing by, as if it were a time-space illusion.

"Could it be that Bowei kicking me out is the true loop? But I haven't exchanged yet, have I?"

He felt Bowei's change in attitude, a feeling of being somewhat disliked.

However, he didn't think too much about it, just assuming Bowei was helping him close the loop.

Yet he hadn't performed the exchange yet. Could it be that he returned empty-handed again?

Just as he was about to find Bowei to reason with him, a look of confusion appeared on Zhao Xing's face.

"What's going on, I..."

Opening his Origin Space to check, Zhao Xing was stunned. At this moment, three things appeared in his Origin Space.

One was the Black Sky Moon Tree, the second was the Spirit-Devouring Grass, and the third was the statue of Qing Qing Yu Zi.

However, these three things had all changed drastically!

First was the Black Sky Moon Tree. It was originally only as tall as a person, but now it was over ten thousand feet tall. The panel detection showed that it had entered its peak period.

【Black Sky Moon Tree】

【Quality: Emperor Grade】

【Status: Peak Period】

【Innate Secret Technique: Taiyin Moon Essence, Dark Domain】

【Description: A variant moon tree produced in the Black Sky Desolate Realm that absorbed moon essence fragments. Growing to the peak period, it is equivalent to a human Samsara Emperor, an auxiliary troop type.】

【Spirit-Devouring Grass】

【Quality: Legendary】

【Status: Maturity Period】

【Innate Secret Technique: Nine Abyss Devouring Realm】

【Description: Spirit-Devouring Grass produced in the Li Star River Realm, living by devouring the void

Six Qi. Reaching the maturity period, it is equivalent to a human Samsara Emperor, a combat troop type.】

"The Black Sky Moon Tree and the Spirit-Devouring Grass were both in the seedling stage. How did one become peak period and the other maturity period now?" Zhao Xing was confused.

He felt like he was hallucinating, because logically speaking, his cultivation of the Hunyuan Realm was only at the second layer.

The Origin Space is not an internal body world. At this moment, two major plant troop types comparable to the Emperor level appeared. Logically, the Origin Space should have collapsed.

It wasn't until Zhao Xing saw the third thing that he understood.

"The statue, it's restored!"

The statue of Qing Qing Yu Zi was originally full of cracks, but now it was flashing with golden light, with a divine pattern circling it. Where were there any cracks left?

It was precisely this divine pattern that suppressed the two major plant troop types, preventing them from destroying his Origin Space.

"Is this reasonable? I clearly didn't exchange, but they..."

Everything before his eyes exceeded Zhao Xing's cognition.

He looked at the two major plant troop types, trembling with fear. Assuming there was no suppression from Old Qing's statue, he would probably have been blown up.

"First, follow what the Master said, return to the Primordial Realm and report to Senior Gu Luohe!" Whoosh~

Zhao Xing turned into a rainbow light, drilled into the Dao Manifestation Layer, and left the Academy City.

In the bizarre Dao Manifestation Layer, a flying boat shaped like a mountain cat was shuttling through the void river.

Because they were in the Xuanling Star Domain, the Void River was very stable, and Zhao Xing's *Mountain Cat*, even though it was only a Solar Dao-Soldier, still flew very fast.

"For some unknown reason, my two seedlings have obtained great growth."

"The originally ordinary statue of Qing Qing Yu Zi has now also become extraordinarily divine. Could it be that rubbing the Ancestor's mysterious technique caused this? This doesn't make sense."

After experiencing the initial panic, Zhao Xing quickly accepted the facts.

The statue of Qing Qing Yu Zi was originally an ordinary wooden carving, but now it carried the Ancestor's technique and became divine.

He couldn't figure this out, but he could take a look at the two major troop types.

"The Seven Realm True Spirit Bamboo is also of Emperor-grade quality, but it is still in the growth period and has not undergone transformation. Only the Black Sky Moon Tree and the Spirit-Devouring Grass have changed. It seems something happened in the Transmission Building that I don't know about." Zhao Xing secretly thought.

"Regardless, these two major troop types are not something I can control now. I can't even keep them alive, let alone talk about controlling them, but I can take a look through the panel."

"The Black Sky Moon Tree has two innate talents, Taiyin Moon Essence and Dark Domain, both of which are auxiliary functions. They should be able to provide convenience in the Black Sky Desolate Realm."

If the Chenluo Desolate Realm is not counted, the Black Sky Desolate Realm should be the most special and mysterious forbidden area among all Desolate Realms.

It is infinitely close to the legendary 【Dead Realm】, with very little spiritual energy

produced. Even the Origin Qi is pitifully scarce, and there is no 'void river' in the Black Sky Desolate Realm, which means the void in the Black Sky Desolate Realm only has one layer, which is the 'Manifestation Layer' of the real world.

Like the Chenluo Desolate Realm, they all have void turbulence, but the Black Sky Desolate Realm simply doesn't have this, as if the laws of the universe are missing a link there.

"Historically, the Black Sky Desolate Realm was not as extreme as it is now. People could still see the Star of Taiyin and could find plants like the moon tree, but later these things could no longer be seen." Zhao Xing felt that this variant Black Sky Moon Tree could be of great help.

The Black Sky Desolate Realm involves two theories.

One is the Minggu Mountain, rumored to be the largest mountain in the universe. It is precisely it that blocked the existence of the Extreme Star. Its shadow was cast on the territory of the universe, thus forming the Black Sky Desolate Realm.

The second is the Extreme Star. Assuming the first theory holds, then finding the Minggu Mountain is very likely to lead to the discovery of the existence of the 【Extreme Star】.

"Compared to the Black Sky Moon Tree, the Spirit-Devouring Grass only has one innate ability." Zhao Xing looked at the other plant life.

It had nine leaves, the leaves were incomparably wide, presenting a dark cyan color, with mysterious black patterns on them. It was dynamic and spiral-shaped, like a bottomless black vortex.

When Zhao Xing looked over, it was as if his gaze was about to be absorbed.

The nine vortexes on the nine leaves constantly pulled at the Origin Space, but the existence of Qing Qing Yu Zi's statue made it unable to pull.

Although the Spirit-Devouring Grass only had one innate talent, Zhao Xing felt it was billions of times more dangerous than the Black Sky Moon Tree.

"I wanted high-level troop types before, but it's not a good thing that this troop type is too high-level." Zhao Xing was both excited and melancholy.

Taking a careful inventory, Zhao Xing found that this trip had great gains. The True Spirit Heavenly Poison was eliminated, and he had learned the Grand Beginning Straw Man Technique.

He had obtained two powerful plant troop types and brought back a fragment of a God-level technique suspected to have been created by the Ancestor.

"However, if I don't open up an internal body world, I absolutely cannot withstand two Emperor-level plants, let alone the Spirit-Devouring Grass, which can rival a demigod when it reaches its peak."

"The mysterious technique on the Ancestor's Molted Bone must be handed over. When the suppression is gone, should I transplant the two major plant troop types together? I don't know how the Empire will arrange me."

Zhao Xing felt somewhat uneasy in his heart. The harvest was too great, and he might not be able to keep it. He even felt that the journey back to the Empire was not safe.

The Ancestor's Molted Bone is a secret of the Origin Heavenly Palace. The Demon Race Emperor fell into a causal trap because of him, Jin Yan also knew that he had cultivated the Grand Beginning clone, and he had obtained two powerful plants in the Transmission Building. The True Spirit Heavenly Poison is gone. Will Wei Ling Tianchen know?

As Qing Qing Yu Zi said, after going through the 【Causal War】, he is a 'sweet pastry'. On the way back, will someone assassinate him?

The interior of the Xuanling Star Domain is not absolutely safe either!

Zhao Xing tried to call out to Qing Qing Yu Zi, but there was no response.

Just as mentioned before, Qing Qing Yu Zi would no longer respond to him. The Sovereign Marquis Tian You of the 22 epochs before the Desolate Realm was just a pre-arranged method.

Just at this moment, the *Mountain Cat* boundary boat suddenly slowed down passively, and a triple-spire building appeared in the Void River ahead.

It appeared abruptly, the surrounding Void River was directly intercepted, and Zhao Xing's *Mountain Cat* flying boat was pulled toward the triple-spire tower.

"What?!"

It really was a case of fearing what you fear. Zhao Xing looked closely and found that they were

the 'Que Heavenly Palace', 'Wuxiang Palace', and 'Qingxu Palace' of the Origin Heavenly Palace.

The Origin Heavenly Palace handles external affairs, and the most common one is the Que Heavenly Palace. It is rare for the three palaces to act together.

But now, they appeared together!

And they blocked him.

"That's right, the Origin Heavenly Palace has the Ancestor's Molted Bone. Assuming I obtained information about another piece of Molted Bone, the first to react would of course be the Origin Heavenly Palace." Zhao Xing suddenly felt that something bad was going to happen.

Since Gu Luohe does not manage the affairs of the Primordial Realm, mainly handled by the Five Poisons Emperor and Zuo Zuo Qiyu, Zhao Xing could not contact Gu Luohe immediately after leaving the Academy City. It is normal for the Origin Heavenly Palace to be one step faster.

"Boom, crack~"

Amidst flashes of lightning and rolls of thunder, the boundary gate of the *Mountain Cat* opened automatically.

Above the three palaces, a mist staircase extended down, reaching beneath Zhao Xing's feet.

Zhao Xing looked up and found three magnificent, golden-glowing phantoms at the top of the staircase. The pressure permeated, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Although he knew the visitors were not kind, Zhao Xing still bowed respectfully: "Zhao Xing of the Primordial Realm, greets the three Palace Masters!"

"Zhao Xing, hand over the secret technique attached to the Ancestor's Molted Bone." A voice came from the top of the staircase. This voice was ethereal and indifferent, without any emotion.

It really was for this! Zhao Xing knew he couldn't hide it, but he still wanted to delay for some time.

He bent his waist and said with difficulty: "Three Palace Masters, this junior does not know about any Ancestor's Molted Bone."

"Even if there is, I, I don't want to hand it over."

"Are you not afraid of death? If we kill you, we can still obtain the things on you. It's just that for the sake of the Empire, we don't want to use force."

Zhao Xing did not speak, just shook his head.

If he handed it over, could the Empire let him go?

The most fearful thing about taking sides is wavering. If he was killed by the three Palace Masters, the Empire might still resurrect him.

After all, he no longer has the True Spirit Heavenly Poison, so the cost of resurrection is not as high as before.

The premise is that the three Palace Masters do not do things to the extreme.

After waiting for a long time, the imagined death did not come. Zhao Xing heard a gentle voice.

"Very good, Zhao Xing, you may rise."

Feeling the pressure disappear, Zhao Xing looked up in astonishment.

Where were there any palaces or cloud ladders above his head?

He only saw two figures appearing where the palaces used to be. One was Gu Luohe, wearing a white Dharma robe embroidered with a divine tree.

Beside him, a burly man was wearing a strange battle armor. The surface of the armor blended with the color of the void, as if inlaid with stars, sun, and moon. At first glance, it looked like the entire map of the Xuanling Star Domain was inlaid on the armor.

Gu Luohe and Emperor Chixing?!

Zhao Xing frowned. Was just now an illusion? Or is now an illusion?

But this is easy to judge.

The three Palace Masters just now did not appear in his line of sight, and his

detection panel couldn't even see their names.

But now, he looked up directly, and the names of Gu Luohe and Emperor Chixing were displayed.

So that's how it is. It seems this was truly a test.

Thinking about it, since the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom incident, he had encountered too many things, and there were too many anomalies. Without a test... that would be abnormal! He hadn't encountered any major events before, and with Qing Qing Yu Zi's face, it didn't matter. But now it was different.

Only with a test could it represent that he would not be abandoned and would truly be accepted by the Empire!

Fortunately, he made the right choice and did not surrender to the Origin Heavenly Palace.

Otherwise, he would be finished.

Instantly understanding everything, Zhao Xing tidied his clothes and bowed leisurely: "Subject, Sea-Communication Envoy Zhao Xing, greets Your Majesty!"
