Chapter 491: Desire Dream Dual Cultivation, Flesh and Blood Rebirth

Actually, dual cultivation is not impossible. If only I could not let Fu Mengzhen know my secrets." Zhao Xing thought about it and found that only this path could break the situation. So he began to try to find a way to have the best of both worlds.

"I'd better ask the mirror to see if there is such a method."

Zhao Xing took out the Eight-Direction Divine Mirror again and awakened the artifact spirit inside.

The artifact spirit of the Eight-Direction Divine Mirror was also very capable and quickly found a feasible method.

"Just use the Dao-Enlightenment Gold Hoop that Wei Tianchen asked someone to forge."

"Ah? Can it work?"

"The spiritual union and yin-yang harmony of the Desire Dream Dual Cultivation Method start from the heart."

"You worry about leaking secrets because your thoughts are chaotic when cultivating this secret technique, so you will leak the secrets in your heart."

"Assuming you can settle your heart and mind, you won't be affected."

"Although the Dao-Enlightenment Gold Hoop is not a divine artifact, its special effects are comparable to a divine artifact."

"It can ensure that you or Fu Mengzhen don't think randomly when dual cultivating."

Zhao Xing took out the Dao-Enlightenment Gold Hoop from the red jade thumb ring; he didn't expect this Dharma artifact forged by a scholar could be used here.

"That's right, the Dao-Enlightenment Gold Hoop itself is for dedicated learning and strengthening the heart; it can not only solve the problem of leaking secrets but also improve cultivation efficiency."

Worrying about leaking secrets is mainly because chaotic thoughts will arise in the heart during the cultivation process.

However, the Dao-Enlightenment Gold Hoop can avoid the generation of chaotic thoughts, so the soul will only have the idea of cultivation from then on, and even if it merges with Fu Mengzhen's soul, there is no fear.

"It's worth a try," Zhao Xing secretly thought.

After Wei Tianchen died, the control spell of the Dao-Enlightenment Gold Hoop was reset.

It originally had two artifact spells attached.

One was the activation spell: Heart-Sealing Method of Immediate Heart and Immediate Thought.

That is to say, from the moment the gold hoop is put on, one will wholeheartedly cultivate the Heart-Sealing Method.

The second was the strengthening spell: Five Viscera Thunder and Lightning Shaking Soul Worry.

Does it have anything to do with self-destruction?

Actually, no.

The role of the strengthening spell is just that once chaotic thoughts expand, the Dao-Enlightenment Gold Hoop will trigger thunder in the five viscera and six bowels to shatter the chaotic thoughts generated in the soul.

Wei Tianchen lied to him; this thing wouldn't self-destruct, at most it would just shock people.

It was just that Zhao Xing didn't dare to gamble at the time.

Learning the control spell of the Dao-Enlightenment Gold Hoop first, he then recited the spell to the Dao-Enlightenment Gold Hoop again.

"Immediate Heart and Immediate Thought Desire Dream Method."

As for the strengthening spell, there was no need to add it, because he only had a bone body now and didn't have five viscera and six bowels at all; the strengthening spell was invalid.

"The verbal Dharma spell attached by the scholar is the same as the Ritual Cultivation Calming Heart Spell and Calming Heart Spell I have seen in the Profound Yellow Realm period."

"It's just that the Dharma spell of the Dao-Enlightenment Gold Hoop relies on the appliance, and the effect is more powerful."

"Old Wei is also good at using human hearts; he was sure I wouldn't run away."

Zhao Xing sighed with emotion and put on the Dao-Enlightenment Gold Hoop.

Then, only one thought remained in his mind: run to Fu Mengzhen's bedroom to dual cultivate with her.

"Your Majesty, you have come to see me." Fu Mengzhen was sitting in front of the dressing table, and seeing Zhao Xing appear, she was overjoyed.

"I have come to dual cultivate with you," Zhao Xing said, then carried Fu Mengzhen and threw her onto the bed.

"Ah~ Your Majesty, don't be so anxious~" Fu Mengzhen coquettishly said, but she hugged Zhao Xing tightly.

Bone bodies collided, like gears engaging, and began to rub.

Zhao Xing's Sun Dao Bone was several levels lower than Fu Mengzhen's Heavy Tax Dao Bone.

With such a press, the bone body quickly cracked.

However, Zhao Xing didn't resist, because he knew this was normal operation.

No destruction, no construction; destruction followed by construction.

Fu Mengzhen's Bone Power invaded his bone body, and then a flame erupted from the True Spirit Fire Seed, spreading throughout his body.

Bone Power, heart power, and soul fire seed—the three forces intertwined along the bone body, forming an illusion.

Because Fu Mengzhen was stronger, in the early stage of cultivation, Fu Mengzhen was the leading party, and she guided whatever illusion was formed.

However, Fu Mengzhen was also very careful; she cherished this opportunity very much. In the cultivation of the Desire Dream Illusion, she didn't benefit at all at the beginning, only letting Zhao Xing obtain power from the dual cultivation method.

Doing so was mainly because the gap between the two was too large, and one side had to be the dedicated type; Fu Mengzhen instead had to rack her brains to maintain the balance of dual cultivation.

Only when both sides climbed to the same level and the progress was the same could they advance together.

At first, Zhao Xing was worried about whether there would be problems with cultivation; Old Wei's Dao Heart Confusion Medicine was still in effect.

But soon he discovered that there was no influence at all. In the cultivation of the Desire Dream Method, the illusion created by Fu Mengzhen repeatedly created scenes of Dao heart collapse, which instead had a promoting effect.

Three days later.

"Zheng~"

Fu Mengzhen, who was on the side of the bed, stroked the zither, the sound melodious.

On the bed was Zhao Xing, wrapped in True Spirit flames; his body was hunched, as if he were about to fall apart.

The True Spirit flames were ignited by the zither sound, becoming more and more vigorous, and green flames burned fiercely.

As if reincarnated and cultivating again, Zhao Xing began to experience the ups and downs of life in the Desire Dream Illusion.

Each cultivation was experiencing a lifetime, but the theme would not deviate from cultivation.

For example, the first cultivation was Zhao Xing as a cultivation genius with outstanding talent, calling the wind and rain in the first half of his life, proud of life, but in the second half, his cultivation was beaten away by enemies, his bone marrow was extracted, his family was destroyed, and then he experienced all kinds of life, twists and turns.

But in the end, he had to embark on the path of cultivation to count as successfully experiencing this reincarnation.

If he couldn't get up, gave up on himself, then it was not only useless work but also caused damage.

Originally, Fu Mengzhen was worried that her lover couldn't accept it, so she added the zither sound, but she didn't expect the flames to stabilize in just three days.

This meant that the Dao companion had almost no hesitation; he was beaten into the dust in the first moment, and in the next moment, he began to seek re-cultivation and revenge, cheered up, and stepped onto the "correct path of cultivation" of the Desire Dream Illusion.

"Your Majesty has such a fast cultivation speed," Fu Mengzhen's eyes were blurred, and she looked at the bones in the flames infatuatedly.

Finding that her lover had spare energy, she struck while the iron was hot and immediately let Zhao Xing experience the second round of illusions.

In the second round of the Desire Dream Illusion, Zhao Xing descended into a cultivation dynasty, as a lone star of heavenly evil, losing his parents at a young age, eating food from a hundred families, and finally reaching adulthood. He went out to do business with his cousin from the same village, but the boat experienced a big storm on the road. Everyone on the boat was fine, but he fell into the water, caught a cold, and only had half a life left. Even after being cured, he was left with a disability in his legs.

To treat his leg injury and also to make a living, he had to worship in a martial arts hall as a servant. However, even for ordinary gathering of essence, he had to pay ten times the effort of ordinary people and was often bullied and humiliated by official apprentices.

Enduring humiliation in the martial arts hall, he finally succeeded in gathering essence and fought for an opportunity to go to the army, but just as he arrived in the army, he encountered an enemy attack and became a prisoner of the alien race.

Coming to the alien territory, he was assigned to dig mines underground, and this dark time lasted for thirty years.

Zhao Xing silently gathered essence while waiting for an opportunity, and finally waited for the day when the human army liberated the mine.

However, just as he obtained hope, hope slipped away again. Everyone was properly disposed of, except for a careless officer who forgot him and left him in a foreign land. Every time he obtained an opportunity, the opportunity would inevitably slip away.

In the end, no matter how hard Zhao Xing tried in this life, when he died in a foreign land, he only had the second realm of cultivation. "Time, fate?" Zhao Xing sighed, dying unwillingly.

"The second life passed so quickly?" Fu Mengzhen was somewhat surprised. She witnessed the whole process of the second life. To absorb power from the second life illusion, the key was not how high the achievement of cultivation was, but that every time hope was obtained and lost, one could quickly cheer up and not be swayed by negative emotions.

If the Desire Dream Method was dominated by emotions and sank into it, then this cultivation would be meaningless; the longer the time delayed, the more unfavorable it was.

However, Zhao Xing made the correct choices that conformed to the cultivation of the Desire Dream Method every time, which was very unexpected to Fu Mengzhen.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, Zhao Xing and Fu Mengzhen had been dual cultivating in the Eighteen Sophora Willow Courtyard for seven years.

The auxiliary role of the Dao-Enlightenment Gold Hoop made Zhao Xing's cultivation efficiency full every time.

He was a scroll king, almost without any rest time. If he really couldn't stand it, Zhao Xing would dig out medicine from Wei Tianchen's storage to offset the fatigue.

Just after the seventh year passed, a trace of flesh and blood grew on his right foot.

Even Fu Mengzhen sighed that Zhao Xing was simply a genius.

Starting from the ninth year, Fu Mengzhen was no longer a complete contributor; she could also absorb power from the Desire Dream Illusion.

The progress of the two began to be consistent, experiencing together in the Desire Dream Illusion.

The difficulty of one person was greater than the difficulty of two people.

Because everyone's True Spirit Fire Seed and heart power were different, and the changes were infinite.

For example, in a certain life, Zhao Xing encountered a "cultivation" that was completely meaningless.

The opening was neither rich nor poor, and in a small county town, the family situation was not enough to be rich, but not enough to be poor. The family members were loving, the husband and wife were harmonious, and there was no contact with so-called cultivation in the living environment.

Until the end of the Desire Dream Illusion, Zhao Xing and Fu Mengzhen spent their whole lives in that small county town.

"Your Majesty, it's all the concubine's fault—" After waking up, Fu Mengzhen immediately blamed herself.

Because after breaking away, they immediately discovered that the only breakthrough point in the small county life was a "hearsay" in a teahouse that mentioned a certain cultivation method.

Zhao Xing had the idea of wanting to pursue the path of cultivation, but Fu Mengzhen was addicted to the role of a wife,

and stopped Zhao Xing.

"It can't be blamed on you either," Zhao Xing shook his head, "Some people don't dare to leave their hometown in their whole life, occasionally having some bold thoughts, but they are quickly worn away by the trivialities of life."

"They wasted their whole life in the customs of their hometown."

The most plain time of the Desire Dream Illusion, instead, became the most difficult time to break through in cultivation.

Because the failed experience could not bring experience, entering again, it was still the thinking and wisdom of an "ordinary person", impossible to have the thinking and spiritual intelligence of a Demigod and Emperor level.

"The dual cultivation method is temporarily coming to an end," Zhao Xing thought and left Fu Mengzhen's cave mansion.

Fu Mengzhen looked at Zhao Xing's departing back, infatuatedly lost in thought.

Now, except for her head which was still exposed bone, the rest of her body had been reborn, her flesh and blood were plump, and her skin was crystalline, as white and tender as a baby's, and the progress was so great that it was unimaginable before.

Zhao Xing's progress was also about the same as Fu Mengzhen's.

His flesh and blood had grown out, and the most important Dantian Qi Sea reappeared.

"This means I can restore the Extreme Land in a short time, and at the same time, I can open the internal world now!"

Returning to his cave mansion, Zhao Xing threw out the Eight-Direction Divine Mirror and took out the Clear Water Gold Divine Gourd to open the barrier. He didn't rush to open the internal world, but patiently spent another six years restoring the Extreme Land and unsealing the Heavenly Time Method. Heavenly Time, Earthly Advantage, and Self—the three need balance, a point Zhao Xing always kept in mind.

"Mixed Origin World, open!"

Zhao Xing moved the sealed world core from his pelvis to the position in his Dantian,

and the nourishment of life magic power allowed the seal of the world core to reopen.

A projection appeared in front of him.

The long-lost world projection reappeared!

"So much time has passed, I don't know how the Spirit-Devouring Grass is doing, has it caused any destruction?" Zhao Xing secretly thought.

Back then in the Bai Han Realm, the Spirit-Devouring Grass had already entered its peak period. This legendary-grade troop type had the strength of a Demigod in its peak period.

Assuming it caused destruction, it would be extremely unfavorable for the evolution of his internal world, and even a devastating blow.

His mind sank, and he immediately entered the internal world.

The expected dilapidated scene did not appear.

The primitive ocean, the boundless continent, and the Yin-Yang Nine Star System still existed, and that azure divine-grade native species was also still fine.

"Sou~"

Zhao Xing's mind swept across the entire territory and found that the Spirit-Devouring Grass stayed in the primitive ocean.

"Hmm? Actually so obedient, didn't cause any destruction?"

Zhao Xing found that his Emperor-grade troops were still alive and well.

【Remaining Lifespan: 7. Epochs】

【Cave Ming Flower】, 【Sun-Moon Vine】, 【Li Yin Tree】—these were obtained in the Ling Luo Realm.

Among them, 【Cave Ming Flower】 is a descendant of the Flower God Clan and has the research value of extracting 'Plant Divine Patterns', but it doesn't have much combat capability.

Besides that, there are the Seven-Domain True Spirit Bamboo and the Black Sky Moon Tree, which are also at the 8th-Tribulation True Spirit level. They were forcibly raised to the peak realm in the Chuan Jie Tower.

The above five major troop types are controllable.

Only the Spirit-Devouring Grass is an 11th-tier True Spirit Demigod level, and Zhao Xing cannot control it.

【Spirit-Devouring Grass】

【Lifespan: 14 Epochs】

"It seems that after returning to the internal world, it was still suppressed by the Mixed Origin Dao Tower," Zhao Xing looked at a high tower above the primitive ocean. Its existence allowed the Spirit-Devouring Grass not to cause massive destruction.

"It was possible to subdue it before, but now it's an 11th-tier Demigod; I'm afraid there's not much possibility," Zhao Xing habitually divided a soul body to brainwash it, but he didn't have much hope, after all, he was only an 8th-Tribulation True Spirit now, and the gap was too big.

"Sou~"

Unexpectedly, just as Zhao Xing sent out a clone soul, the Spirit-Devouring Grass took the initiative to show favor and accepted Zhao Xing's soul power.

"Hmm? What does that mean?" Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised. He thought his soul power would be crushed by the Spirit-Devouring Grass, but the other party accepted it and established a spiritual connection.

"I want to go out," the Spirit-Devouring Grass body projected a teenager of fifteen or sixteen, looking somewhat similar to Zhao Xing, just with an unruly expression. "Being locked in the primitive ocean is too boring."

"Oh, are you asking me to let you out?" Zhao Xing asked curiously.

"No, I don't want to leave; I just want to go out occasionally," the Spirit-Devouring Grass said. "I'll help you fight

"Oh, are you trying to get me to let you out?" Zhao Xing asked curiously.

"No, I don't want to leave, I just want to go out occasionally," the Spirit-Devouring Grass said. "I'll help you fight, and you get me something tasty, just like that last time."

The brat had grown up; it knew the outside world wasn't all that wonderful! It took Zhao Xing a long while to understand the Spirit-Devouring Grass's intentions.

Back when the Spirit-Devouring Grass's intelligence had just developed, its first battle was against an expert like Venerable Bai Han.

If the Spirit-Devouring Grass hadn't torn through the spatial barrier at that time and let Venerable Bamboo Sword in, it absolutely would not have been able to defeat Venerable Bai Han, who possessed the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle in his home base.

It had wanted to sweep across the world, but ended up at a disadvantage in the battle against Venerable Bai Han and was given a sound beating. Thinking about it carefully, the internal world was better—good food, good lodging, and safe too.

However, it also yearned for the outside world, yet didn't want to help Zhao Xing fight such formidable enemies, so to avoid wronging itself, it could only propose eating something good.

"That kind from last time? No way." Zhao Xing shook his head. What he had fed the Spirit-Devouring Grass last time was the remainder of the World-Splitting Divine Stone, a divine object used to open up an internal world.

Where was he supposed to find similar divine objects to feed it?

Even if he had them, they should go to the god-level native species first; how could he possibly give them to this naughty youth?

"You're unwilling?!" The Spirit-Devouring Grass bristled.

"It's not that I'm unwilling, but that kind of good stuff isn't common," Zhao Xing said helplessly. "Will something a bit inferior do?"

"That's about the same, but it can't be too inferior either." The Spirit-Devouring Grass thought for a moment and agreed.

In the end, Zhao Xing and the Spirit-Devouring Grass reached an agreement: if they went out to fight, he would give it tasty food.

Zhao Xing inspected his internal world and found that the expansion progress had slowed down, and the god-level native species were still in a gestation state.

So, he took out the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle and closed the internal world.

【Marquis Transformation Art: Nine Marshes God】

【Description: The Nine Marshes God is a natural-born deity. The divine artifact 'Heaven-Changing Divine Needle' and the 'Nine Marshes Marquis Transformation Art' were created based on the life structure of its descendants, totaling nine levels.】

【Current Progress: Third Level (3000/10000)】

The Marquis Transformation Art: Nine Marshes God had already been unsealed, because although Zhao Xing's physical body had not fully recovered, the Nine Marshes God art itself was performed in stages.

"The complete Nine Marshes God is a natural-born deity; the first three levels are the demigod realm."

"The other two secret arts of the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle are 'Rock Star God' and 'Pu Luo God'."

"My physical body is incomplete now, but I can still perform partial transformations, so there should still be some bonus effects," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

If his physical body were fully recovered? He could immediately become a descendant of the Nine Marshes God, reaching the level of a demigod!

Because when he received the inheritance in the Bai Han Realm, he had already realized the Heaven-Changing Domain, but because Venerable Bai Han wanted to possess his body, he never had the chance to use it later.

"Right now, I have five major troop types, all at the Eight-Tribulation Emperor level, and the Spirit-Devouring Grass is at the demigod level."

"Once my flesh and blood regenerate, if I perform the Marquis Transformation Art myself, I will also have demigod combat power."

"There are also the many divine objects left behind by Wei Tianchen, as well as Xue Rui's Luck Divine Bone."

"In the White Bone God Domain, as long as I don't face a powerful god-level being, I can consider myself to have the power to protect myself."

Zhao Xing could not wait for the moment his flesh and blood fully regenerated, because the Eight-Direction God Mirror told him that Aiyiso, a subordinate of the Dan Ye Free God, had been in Moyuan City for nine years.

He was currently undergoing the God Guard assessment.

If he were allowed to become a Heaven-Patrolling God Guard first, or successfully bribe someone, then Zhao Xing would be in great danger.

One option was to let Fu Mengzhen take the test, but there was a conflict here. Fu Mengzhen was not affected by drugs, so the possibility of her passing was high. If she were affected by drugs, the chance of passing would be very small.

Once the drug's mind-confusing effect wore off and she regained her senses, she would not be a help but another trouble, so Zhao Xing could only do it himself.

"Yu God Moyuan created the Heaven-Patrolling God Guards, likely inspired by Yuan's creation of the Fire Source Divine Palace; even the assessment is an imitation, requiring all kinds of professions."

"As a Farmer, if I go to take the God Guard test, there are two choices: one is pure farming, the other is pure combat."

"Of the two directions, there are actually fewer Farmers who purely farm, so the competition isn't as great."

"Because the cultivators who came to the No-Tribulation White Bone God Domain from the Yang Realm all have astonishing combat power."

"If I choose the combat-type test, then it's not just competition among my own kind; I would also face Warriors, Mechanists, Illusionists, and so on."

"On the contrary, for farming, other professions cannot compete."

"However, the White Bone God Domain is an area that integrates the Yin Realm of the Southern Continent. To make a name for oneself in such special terrain, the requirements for the understanding of the Life Dao, and for Self-Nature spells and Terrain spells, are all very high."

"I've been here for ten years, yet I haven't seen many powerful Farmers or Farmer spells," Zhao Xing thought silently.

He wasn't the only one who discovered something was wrong; everyone hid their own Dao, which led to a severe lack of information exchange in Moyuan City, especially regarding cultivation. What appeared on the market were also some relatively low-end Farmer spells.

"I don't know what the standard is, so I'll just try them all."

"In any case, I can take the test at any time; I just need to pay a little money to try."

The common currency in Moyuan City is the Soul Crystal. Thanks to the accumulation Wei Tianchen and Bamboo Sword previously obtained in Fugu City, Zhao Xing still had about a million high-grade Soul Crystals. And to participate in the assessment, he only needed to pay a little money to give it a try.

"Xiao Bai." Zhao Xing called Bai Lanjun over.

"Lord Zhao, what are your orders?" Bai Lanjun always called Zhao Xing 'Lord Zhao', while Hu Qing and Yan Yun still called him 'Senior Zhao'.

"Take some money and go to the Dao Palace to inquire about when the Farmer assessment for the Heaven-Patrolling God Guards begins, and what the rules are."

"Yes."
