Chapter 496: Return to Profound Spirit, Land of Fengshan (12,000)

Gu Luohe's finger landed on Venerable Lancuan, and Zhao Xing, standing to the side, couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

The Gu Luohe here was clearly a younger version; it would be strange if he recognized him. Not recognizing him was, in fact, normal.

"Very well, Venerable Lancuan and his subordinate Divine Guards shall be under the command of Luohe. Great Divine Official Luohe will also be responsible for the exploration of the Ten Thousand Souls Well," Great Divine Official Qiyuan announced the second matter.

Afterward, Gu Luohe took Venerable Lancuan and followed Great Divine Official Qiyuan away, while the banquet proceeded as usual.

Zhao Xing, sitting at the table, was still digesting the fact that Gu Luohe had appeared.

"The directionality was so strong; it looked as if Gu Luohe knew Venerable Lancuan. Could it be that Venerable Lancuan is from the Ancient Hill? Lancuan... Divine Venerable Lan, could he be the teacher of Venerable Meishan?"

Zhao Xing felt it was highly probable, because when he broke through to the Reincarnation Realm, Venerable Meishan had suddenly used the Earth Connection Technique to gift him a high-quality Earth Vein, which helped him achieve the third layer of the Extreme Land.

Later, when his Primordial Incarnation went to the Ancient Hill to study the Life Earth Palace Method, he also received much care, such as being allowed to personally observe the dungeon where the Life Demon God Aoluojia was imprisoned—a privilege usually reserved for demigods.

Previously, Zhao Xing had thought this was an extra benefit brought by the scriptures, but thinking about it carefully, the theory of "Earth Chronicle and Earth Change Treatise" was not yet perfected, so how could he receive such great honors?

Linking this to his experiences in the World-Passing Tower and the time loop he had completed, Zhao Xing couldn't help but form a hypothesis:

If Venerable Lancuan was the later Divine Venerable Lan, then the sentence Divine Venerable Lan said in "Wonders of the Thousand Lands"—"Apart from forceful destruction, if one wants to shake the 'Cold Ice Flame Lake,' one must start from the 'Stone Fetus Method' in the Profound Earth Law"—wasn't that something he had told him?

Zhao Xing felt it was somewhat wondrous.

At the two-hundred-mile mark of the Extreme Profound Earth, he had indeed mentioned the "Stone Fetus Method" to Venerable Lancuan, and this method was something he had learned because it was recorded in ancient books by Divine Venerable Lan.

Was it he who told Divine Venerable Lan, or did Divine Venerable Lan tell him?

"Is this causality..." Zhao Xing thought. "But which era is this exactly?"

Having been in the Bone Yin Realm for decades, Zhao Xing had never obtained information outside of the Profound Yellow Realm.

Previously, he guessed that the Profound Yellow Realm of this period was closed off to the outside, which was why it didn't know about the powers in the universe.

But now, Gu Luohe had appeared, as had the Divine Official Lancuan, who was suspected to be Divine Venerable Lan.

Zhao Xing overturned his previous guess.

"The Profound Yellow Realm of this period might be closed, but those with backgrounds like Gu Luohe and Divine Venerable Lan can enter?"

"The Heavenly God Gu Xiao had two sons, Gu Luohe and Gu Tianyang; the former founded the Primordial Realm, and the latter founded the Primordial Straw Man Method."

"And in the Profound Yellow Realm of the post-Desolate Era, the name Gu Xiao appeared, and there was a Profound Yellow Divine Sect that revered Gu Xiao as their founding master."

"In this era, there is also a Profound Heaven Divine Sect in the Yang Realm; is the Profound Heaven Divine Venerable actually Gu Xiao?"

"Gu Luohe... could he also be from the Profound Yellow Realm? Damn it, could the Great Emperor also be a fellow countryman?" Zhao Xing recalled that when he first entered the White Bone Divine Domain, the core of his internal world had been protected by the Primordial Dao Tower.

"Judging by Gu Luohe's age at this time, he shouldn't have founded the Primordial Realm yet, and the Primordial Realm was founded along with the Red Star Empire."

"According to the timeline, the founding of the Primordial Realm was after the end of the Five Emperors era, so this period is at least the Five Emperors era, or perhaps an even more distant era," Zhao Xing mused.

Whether the Great Emperor existed in this space-time, he didn't know, and he didn't dare to ask blindly now.

The "Historical Nihility Event" triggered by the World-Passing Tower copy was still fresh in Zhao Xing's memory. Now, demigods were everywhere, and there were quite a few Divine Realm experts; if a disaster were triggered, the scale would likely be far greater than that of the World-Passing Tower.

"Where has this brought me? Can I still go back..." Zhao Xing felt speechless.

"Emperor Chen'an, I have long admired your name."

Just then, a figure holding a wine cup appeared before the table.

Zhao Xing looked up and sneered inwardly; the person who had come was none other than Ayiso.

"Greetings, Earth Divine Official." Zhao Xing stood up, pretending to be flattered.

"No need for formalities." Ayiso revealed his snow-white teeth. "You refined so many Bone Spirit Crystals in Moon-Gazing City in forty years, deeply valued by Divine Official Lancuan, and now you have become a direct subordinate of Great Divine Official Luohe. Your future is boundless."

Although the newly arrived Great Divine Official was only a Venerable, being able to be gifted a Great Dao Divine Artifact by the Yu God and becoming the fifth Great Divine Official was absolutely extraordinary!

Although the fifth Great Divine Official was not yet in the Divine Realm, following him now would definitely bring greater benefits in the future than following an old-school Great Divine Official.

"I was just lucky," Zhao Xing said modestly.

"Emperor Chen'an, no need to be humble." Ayiso said enthusiastically, "Your achievements are obvious to all. I have a favor to ask."

"You are an Earth Divine Official; what can I do to help you?" Zhao Xing asked, pretending to be surprised.

"I have just become an Earth Divine Official, responsible for gathering herbs at the 'Three-Curve River Bend' of the Nine Yin River." Ayiso pretended to be eager to make contributions. "A new official applies three fires; I want to achieve some results, but I haven't established myself firmly yet. Compared to those veteran Earth Divine Officials, my subordinate Divine Guards lack experience."

"Just say what you have to say."

"I have several Farmer Divine Guards under my command, and I would like to ask Emperor Chen'an to go and teach them." Ayiso lowered his voice. "Of course, I won't trouble Emperor Chen'an for nothing; I will pay you 100, 00 Soul Crystals. Emperor Chen'an, you don't have to turn this money in."

Zhao Xing naturally understood Ayiso's hint: this was private work, and the 100, 00 Soul Crystals were entirely his own.

Honestly, if it weren't for the Eight-Direction Divine Mirror knowing Ayiso's background beforehand, the reason Ayiso gave would have been flawless.

It was reasonable for him to want to achieve results after just taking office, and Zhao Xing had been quite famous for the past forty years; even Venerable Jin Yue was willing to give money to build a good relationship. Ayiso doing this would not arouse any suspicion at all.

Moreover, he was asking Zhao Xing to teach "advanced experience"; such a request was very reasonable.

"Lord Ayiso, it's not that I don't want to help..." Zhao Xing pretended to be in a difficult position. "You have also seen that Divine Official Lancuan was originally following Great Divine Official Dongjun, but now he has been transferred to Great Divine Official Luohe."

Zhao Xing lowered his voice: "Who knows what the new Great Divine Official's temperament is? You asked, and of course I want to go, but this is not in accordance with the rules..."

"I understand, I understand." Ayiso smiled on the surface, but began to sneer inwardly.

Zhao Xing's hesitation was nothing more than two words: add money.

Greed is good; what's to be feared is that you aren't greedy!

Ayiso thought so, and after some conversation, he raised the price to 300, 00 Soul Crystals.

And he would pay half in advance, and the rest upon arrival at the destination.

Zhao Xing stopped pretending and agreed immediately.

Thus, before the banquet ended, Zhao Xing had obtained an unexpected windfall.

"Ayiso is really rich. Well, since the Dan Ye Free Divine ordered him to do things, he naturally can't be short of this." Zhao Xing weighed the bone ring in his hand, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Being able to scam a wave of resources before dealing with Ayiso was, of course, an unexpected surprise.

When the time came to kill Ayiso, he might not necessarily get the other party's belongings; they would certainly be disposed of by the Heavenly Divine Official, so how could it be his turn?

"There are still a few months until the agreed time. Expect the enemy to be generous; I can now use the Soul Crystals given by Ayiso to let three more soul incarnations break through, and there is still one Divine Power Baptism I can use..." Zhao Xing pondered.

On the other side, Ayiso was also planning.

"After luring him to the Three-Curve River Bend, he will be outside the territory of the Yu God State. When I capture him, I will immediately teleport him into the Mist Dao Barrier; even if Venerable Lancuan comes to save him, he won't be able to find me."

"Greetings, Great Divine Official." Venerable Lancuan bowed.

"Brother Lan, no need to be formal." Gu Luohe revealed a faint smile.

"Brother Gu, I didn't expect you to come to the Yin Realm too." Venerable Lancuan said with some emotion. "Since we last parted, you have become even better than before; even the test left behind by the Yu God has been completed by you."

"Brother Lan, do you agree with my Dao?" Gu Luohe asked with a smile.

Venerable Lancuan shook his head: "I recognize your strength, but your Dao... is too unbelievable."

"The internal world cannot grow infinitely; sooner or later, there will be a day of silence. Decay is irreversible; the coexistence of the Life Great Dao and the Silence Great Dao is the law of nature."

"Brother Gu, you reversed a world seed; this is very powerful, but the price will always be paid—if not now, then in the future."

"Although I don't know how you did it, reversing an internal world is not the same as reversing a withered seed."

Gu Luohe listened quietly until the other party finished speaking, then said faintly: "Brother Lan, what you say makes sense, which is why I need your help."

"Your Earth Refining Method is also a method of proving the Dao through heaven and earth. I would like to ask you to share a copy with me. In addition, I also want a little bit of soil from the Ancient Hill."

Venerable Lancuan shook his head and said: "The Earth Refining Method was created by me; I can give it to you, but you want me to dig the three major veins—this is digging at the foundation of my sect. How can I agree to you? It is absolutely impossible, and besides, I can't even get in."

"Brother Lan, you have a chance to ask me to be your Dao protector. When the time comes, you break through, I will do it myself, and all the blame will be borne by me."

"The three major earth veins of the Ancient Hill—the Ancient Vein, the Primordial Vein, and the Dao Manifestation Vein—being dug away a little bit is not a big loss."

Gu Luohe said sincerely: "Brother Lan, you know my ambitions."

"I am unwilling to repeat the footsteps of my predecessors; I want to create my own path. Only then will this life not be in vain, even if it means being smashed to pieces, even if it means being doomed forever."

Venerable Lancuan remained unmoved, his tone as peaceful as ever: "I will give you the latest Earth Refining Method. But I cannot agree to any more of your requests."

A flash of disappointment crossed Gu Luohe's eyes, but he was very patient with this descendant of the Earth God 'Yao Jun': "Fine, let's not mention this matter for now; today we only discuss the Dao."

After Zhao Xing reached a secret agreement with Ayiso, the banquet was almost over.

At this time, Venerable Lancuan appeared again, but there was a faint sorrow between his brows, as if he had encountered some troublesome matter.

Zhao Xing had intended to leave, but he still needed Venerable Lancuan to take him back to Moyuan City to receive the Dongjun Divine Power Baptism.

"Lord Lancuan, why are you troubled? Your subordinate is willing to share your worries." Zhao Xing said.

Divine Official Lancuan glanced at Zhao Xing: "Chen'an, you are now also in the Demigod Realm; do you know the path to becoming a god?"

Zhao Xing said: "Your subordinate knows a little. One is to cultivate the origin to become a Free Divine, and the other is to prove the Dao through heaven and earth to become a No-Calamity True God."

Divine Official Lancuan nodded slightly: "Generally speaking, proving the Dao through heaven and earth is more difficult; one must have a method to prove the Dao, and also have an object to prove the Dao."

"Suppose someone, for the sake of all living beings, wants your method of proving the Dao, and also wants your object of proving the Dao; what would you do?"

Zhao Xing was slightly stunned; he seemed to have thought of something.

First, the Dan Ye Free Divine wanted to seize Wei Tianchen's Dao, and now Venerable Lancuan said such words after meeting Gu Luohe; it was hard not to think too much.

Zhao Xing knew Gu Luohe's concept of proving the Dao in the Eternal Realm, which was no different from reopening the universe.

To reopen the universe, what needs to be done?

It means Gu Luohe needs to collect many kinds of Great Dao origins and put them all into his internal world.

In other words, Gu Luohe's proving of the Dao has a very important method, which is to plunder resources, and very high-level resources at that.

Previously, he guessed that the Earth Refining Method created by Divine Official Lancuan was a method of proving the Dao through heaven and earth; so now, could it be that Gu Luohe wants Divine Official Lancuan's method and object of proving the Dao?

Gu Luohe, has he taken a fancy to Venerable Lancuan's Dao? What does he want to refine with the Earth Refining Method?

If it were someone else, there would naturally be no need to think about such a question. How could one give one's Dao to someone else? Such a person would definitely be a mortal enemy, the kind that would never die until one of them was gone.

But if it were a Farmer from the Ancient Hill, it might really be possible to have such a spirit of sacrifice and dedication.

Zhao Xing pondered: "My lord, I don't know what kind of disaster would require such a great sacrifice."

"For me, working hard to become a savior is better than waiting to be saved by others."

Divine Official Lancuan was thoughtful.

Dongjun's Divine Power Baptism allowed the number of Zhao Xing's soul incarnations to reach nine.

That is to say, Zhao Xing now possessed a nine-fold demigod true spirit amplification.

The bait offered by Ayiso brought this number to thirteen.

When Zhao Xing returned to Moon-Gazing City a year later, he had already become different from before.

【Name: Zhao Xing】

【True Spirit: Nine Calamities (Thirteen-fold amplification)】

【Day-Sun Dharma Body: Ninth Rank】

"Amplifying the multiple on the basis of a demigod; the soul tearing of the Primordial Straw Man Method, which was originally a side effect, has instead become a strength amplifier here. It's simply too heaven-defying." Zhao Xing couldn't help but sigh.

No wonder this path could not tolerate more people walking it.

"Hum~"

At this time, Ayiso sent a message through the Heaven-Patrolling Order—he was urging Zhao Xing again to set off as soon as possible and rush to the Three-Curve River Bend.

"So anxious to set off? Then I will fulfill your wish."

Zhao Xing put away the token and flew toward the Three-Curve River Bend.

The Nine Yin River water was blocked by three large mountains, changing its course and forming three winding shallow shoals, which were called the Three-Curve River Bend.

In the first year Zhao Xing arrived here, Ayiso did not rush to act, and Zhao Xing was also puzzled about when Ayiso would make his move.

"Senior Divine Mirror, can you predict the time when Ayiso will act?"

"You first put on the palm bone of the Xue Rui Free Divine." The Eight-Direction Divine Mirror said.

"Alright." Zhao Xing replaced his right-hand bone.

The more known conditions, the greater the favorable conditions, and the more accurate the prediction of the Eight-Direction Divine Mirror.

When Zhao Xing's luck reached the thirtieth rank, the Eight-Direction Divine Mirror did not spend much effort to get an accurate result.

The time for Ayiso's move was accurate to the day, and even the method was given an accurate answer.

"Is the gap so big after bringing the Divine Bone?" Zhao Xing was a little surprised. Assuming he didn't bring the Divine Bone, the predictions given by the Eight-Direction Divine Mirror were diverse, and the time could not be accurate to a certain day.

Luck rank twenty-one and luck rank thirty were simply two different concepts.

"There is a full seven-rank luck gap between you and Ayiso. The Luck Great Dao affects the Causality Great Dao and the Time Great Dao. You are standing at the high point of luck, while Ayiso is in the trough."

The artifact spirit of the Eight-Direction Divine Mirror projected a map: "People move in heaven and earth, influenced by the Causality and Time Great Daos, cultivating the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and yin and yang. Even the soul and life Great Daos interact with heaven and earth."

"This is a chaotic web of fate, and people are like crawling on this web."

"As long as one is not a god, one cannot jump out of the heaven and earth Great Dao, and behavior is predictable."

"What is fate?"

"When you are cultivating the Dao, you produce a chaotic effect with various Daos in heaven and earth. The behavior that your past personality and logic will produce is fate."

"If, when things happen, the behavior you make does not conform to your past personality habits, does not conform to the Dao you cultivated in the past, and there is a large deviation, this is called luck."

"Ayiso wants to kill you; his behavioral logic, his soul, are all running toward this one thing. The behavior itself does not conform to his faith; he originally believed in the Dan Ye Free Divine, but had to become a Heaven-Patrolling Divine Guard, believing in the Demon God..."

Zhao Xing listened, confused: "Senior, can you be simpler? What you said is too profound."

The artifact spirit of the Eight-Direction Divine Mirror sneered: "Forget it... let's put it this way: you can understand it as you and Ayiso having a fate interaction, and you and him being placed on the same chaotic arena."

"Your luck number far exceeds his. In the Luck Great Dao, you had already defeated him long ago. My prediction is just telling you the result I saw in advance; there is no change in itself."

"Your respective fates move along with the Time Great Dao."

"And when the difference in your luck is not obvious, this chaotic fate arena is very large and possesses many possibilities, so my prediction cannot be so accurate."

Seeing Zhao Xing's half-understanding look, the artifact spirit of the Eight-Direction Divine Mirror couldn't help but mock: "You kid's comprehension of the Fate Great Dao is too poor. Although you are a little better than Wei Tianchen, you are truly the worst mirror owner I have ever brought."

"..."

Zhao Xing couldn't help but be speechless; he was actually despised by the artifact spirit.

"Senior, I am relatively poor. I will introduce a Fate Master to you another day; he has great talent." Zhao Xing thought of Ji Si.

The talent of the Heavenly Venerable should be able to enter the eyes of the mirror, right?

He always felt that the functions of the Eight-Direction Divine Mirror were not fully opened, and many secrets were hidden. This artifact spirit was also very mysterious; perhaps Ji Si could dig them out.

Zhao Xing farmed while waiting for Ayiso to act. He had already put on the Luck Divine Bone of the Xue Rui Free Divine, and with the help of the Eight-Direction Divine Mirror, he knew exactly when Ayiso would kill him, so he was not panicked at all. With the Eight-Direction Divine Mirror, it was like opening a perspective hack, at least for Ayiso.

Five years after the second banquet ended, Ayiso finally made his move.

He invited Zhao Xing to a place called 'Fuhe Valley' at the Three-Curve River Bend, the reason being that Zhao Xing had done a very good job in the collection work at the Three-Curve River Bend over the past few years, and he intended to settle the remaining balance.

"What a lame excuse." Zhao Xing tunneled to Fuhe Valley and found that the earth veins here had become difficult to tunnel through, clearly having been set up in some way.

Ayiso was also afraid that Zhao Xing's spell talent was too strong; he could tunnel two hundred miles during the Emperor period. If he tunneled away, the effort would be wasted.

"Brother Zhao, you're here. Please sit down quickly and drink some good wine." Ayiso was very enthusiastic, inviting Zhao Xing into the courtyard to drink.

"Thanks to you over the past few years, the Three-Curve River Bend has been thriving, and the collection progress has been much faster."

"Brother, this is the remaining Soul Crystal; please be sure to accept it."

Zhao Xing was amused when he saw it. This guy really took him for someone greedy for money, using the balance to reduce his guard?

However, since Ayiso could pay the balance, he would naturally accept it.

"Then I will respectfully obey." Zhao Xing accepted it with a smile.

Ayiso's smile became even brighter: "Come, I'll toast you again, brother, to express my gratitude."

"Hahaha, thank you, Dao Brother."

Zhao Xing picked up the wine cup and drank it just like that.

Seeing this, Ayiso put down the wine cup, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

Sixty-seven years, the mission was finally completed!

The wine was of course poisoned. After drinking it, Zhao Xing would soon be unconscious, and then he could take Zhao Xing away.

Of course, if Zhao Xing saw the abnormality, he could also use force, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

"Ugh... you, you poisoned it..." Zhao Xing suddenly covered his neck, a look of horror appearing on his face.

"Boom!"

A powerful aura erupted from his body, and he broke out of the door, but then plunged deeply into the ground, hitting a large pit.

Ayiso smiled slightly, put down the wine cup leisurely, and then walked out of the door slowly: "Only knowing it now, it's too late."

The aura of Zhao Xing in the pit soon disappeared, replaced by a viscous poison that was eroding the land.

Ayiso walked into the pit, intending to fish out Zhao Xing, but he didn't see Zhao Xing's body.

"Swish~"

An arm covered with gray nails, muscles of blue-black color, and visible meridians suddenly stretched out from below.

Its speed was too fast; Ayiso only saw a flash of black light, and his whole person was caught by this palm.

"You—"

A look of shock appeared in Ayiso's eyes.

"Hou Bian Method? How is this possible? Why is he okay?"

Rumble~~~

Zhao Xing's body emerged from the ground. At this time, black horns grew on Zhao Xing's head, dense hair extended from his head to his back, his muscles were as hard as rock, his whole body was dark black, and there were pale purple magic patterns on his chest, flowing down in circles.

A total of nine secret patterns represented the nine talents of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, time, and space.

On Zhao Xing's back, under the body covered by hair, three bone needles were inserted.

"You, what kind of monster are you?!" Ayiso was a little shocked, because he tried to break free, but with a sudden force, he couldn't shake Zhao Xing's hand.

It was as if what caught him was not a flesh palm, but space itself.

Zhao Xing glanced at the panel.

【Name: Zhao Xing (Hou Bian State)】

【Race: Nine Marsh Divine Descendant】

【True Spirit: Eleventh Rank】

【Nine Marsh Holy Body: Twelfth Rank】

【Talent Secret Method: Ten Thousand Calamity Golden Marrow (Locked), Longevity Wheel (Locked), Profound Underworld Transformation (Locked), Earth Realm Divine Travel (Locked), Thunder Strike Body (Locked), Instant Eternity (Locked).】

【Talent Secret Method 1: Space-Breaking Claw (Unlocked), Nine Marsh Divine Descendant, its right claw can tear the space barrier, and the palm has a singularity that can bind heaven and earth.】

【Talent Secret Method 2: Heavenly Ruins Five Viscera (Unlocked), Nine Marsh Divine Descendant retains the human body structure, but the five viscera form a world of their own, which can swallow most non-divine objects and convert them into nutrients.】

【Talent Secret Method 3: World-Burning Divine Eye, the eyes can emit flames that melt divine power.】

【Hou Bian Divine Needle: External magic tool.】

【Hou Bian duration: three days; if it exceeds three days, unknown sequelae will appear.】

The Nine Marsh Divine Hou Bian Method had nine levels. Zhao Xing had cultivated three levels, and correspondingly unlocked three talent secret methods.

After the transformation, the true spirit temporarily climbed to the eleventh rank, and the physical body reached the twelfth rank!

The Nine Marsh God was a Heavenly God. If one practiced the Hou Bian Method to the ninth level, it would be a true divine body, and all talent divine skills could be unlocked.

However, Zhao Xing could only transform for three days; the true spirit could not control this Hou Bian for too long. If it exceeded three days, it would be difficult to change back.

The talent divine skill that caught Ayiso and made him unable to break free was precisely the 'Space-Breaking Claw'.

"Gurgle~"

Ayiso did not sit still and wait for death. His eyes glowed green, reflecting Zhao Xing's whole body after the Hou Bian.

Ayiso was a thirteenth-rank Medical Venerable and also a Martial Venerable.

At this time, his body also changed. The five medicine bottles hidden in his stomach suddenly shattered, and five kinds of medicine liquids—gold, blue, purple, cyan, and red—dispersed into his limbs and bones.

Ayiso's whole body was bloody, but he finally resisted the strangulation of the Space-Breaking Claw.

"I still underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be able to solve the poison I planted."

"You mean the True Spirit Heavenly Poison? Haha, it's not the first time I've been poisoned." Zhao Xing's voice was rough, laughing like a villain.

That's right, what Ayiso planted before was precisely the True Spirit Heavenly Poison!

And Zhao Xing, who knew this early on, had taken the antidote refined by Wei Tianchen in advance.

The Eight-Direction Divine Mirror said that the legacy left by Wei Tianchen could weaken Ayiso's means, which was based on this.

"Not the first time?" Ayiso felt it was absurd; it sounded like Zhao Xing was playing with poison.

He stared fixedly at Zhao Xing; this action was not superfluous, but to detonate the poison source in Zhao Xing's body.

A demigod physician can induce the poison source hidden in the target's life cell level.

How many years have humans been born? But the poison source, as weak as bacteria, can be traced back to the primitive ocean period!

"Don't waste your effort, you hick. Your poison-inducing method, the Taiyi True Essence Transformation, is far inferior to the Wei Yuan Method created by my friend." Zhao Xing was still like nothing happened, instead increasing his strength, tearing Ayiso's flesh and blood, and continuing to try to break through his deep defense.

"You, ah ah ah..." Ayiso was in agony; he felt his bones rattling.

He didn't understand why.

A physician's poison-inducing method can detonate dormant poison sources in the target's body, including but not limited to various parasites and toxins accumulated from eating heaven and earth treasures.

True Essence Transformation starts from the life particle level, and the manifestation effect of the poison-inducing method is very similar to the external Hou Bian Method.

The difference is that the Farmer goes from outside to inside, using spells to borrow the power of heaven and earth, changing the internal heaven and earth structure from the Great Dao origin level, and achieving the transformation of turning people into pigs.

The Wei Yuan Method is a method of anti-True Essence Transformation.

The Farmer's Hou Bian Method and anti-Hou Bian Method, and the Physician's True Essence Method and Wei Yuan Method, are all skills of internal warfare.

Zhao Xing of course did not know the Wei Yuan Method; his body after the Hou Bian was brand new, so how could he know the Physician's Wei Yuan Method?

He just hid a Dao talisman of Wei Tianchen in his body, the Wei Yuan Talisman.

Therefore, Ayiso could not detonate the poison change in his body at all—assuming the Nine Marsh Divine Descendants had it too.

"Ah ah—" Ayiso's painful voice became sharp; he pulled his hands out of the Space-Breaking Claw alive.

But he found that he only pulled out broken arms, and the parts below the elbows still remained in Zhao Xing's beast claws.

"Roar~~"

A roar came from the underground dark river.

Zhao Xing stomped his feet violently, the power of his bloodline erupted, crushing the earth veins and preventing the creatures below from floating up.

Ayiso had a turtle beast, also a demigod level, which was a medicine turtle raised by the Dan Ye Free Divine.

This medicine turtle was a hidden means of Ayiso; it had never appeared in the Yu God State. It had always been hidden in the Nine Yin River.

Originally, this medicine turtle was one of Ayiso's retreat paths, but now he had to summon it to save him first.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!!!!"

The earth was stepped into countless pits, and the underground dark river space constantly collapsed, blocking the medicine turtle from floating up.

Ayiso, in order to prevent Zhao Xing from tunneling, had built the underground of Fuhe Valley into an iron plate, but now it had become a rescue barrier.

"Die!" Zhao Xing held Ayiso with both hands, his eyes spewing flames, and began to burn Ayiso's body.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle~" The flames emitted by the World-Burning Divine Eye were of a very high level; even Zhao Xing's own palms shed a layer of skin, let alone Ayiso.

His flesh and blood were soon evaporated, leaving only a skeleton.

"Boom boom~" A heart and five groups of medicine liquid in the skeleton erupted with dazzling light, resisting the flames.

"The flesh and blood are gone, but the medicine is still there. The medicine power is higher than the human power level, protecting the golden bones. It seems this is the protection given to him by the Dan Ye Free Divine." Zhao Xing mused.

However, this was ultimately water without a source and could not resist Zhao Xing's continuous calcination.

The protective barrier on Ayiso's body soon became weaker and weaker. Finally, most of the bones were burned away, and the golden light retreated to the skull, protecting the last vital point—the True Spirit Fire Seed.

"A thirteenth-rank demigod is really hard to kill. I have already used all my strength, and I actually can't destroy Ayiso's skull."

"It seems that I really have to use the Great Dao Divine Artifact as the mirror artifact spirit said."

Zhao Xing's heart moved, and he took out a three-inch-long, hollow crystal from the red jade ring. It looked very much like a syringe and was named 'Soul-Removing Divine Needle' by Wei Tianchen, which could pull out the opponent's soul.

"Sizzle!"

The sharp needle tip of the Soul-Removing Divine Needle erupted with a burst of fire, and Ayiso's skull and the divine needle became red at the same time.

Finally, it broke through a gap with difficulty, hitting a tiny opening in the trump card left by the Dan Ye Free Divine.

Zhao Xing of course did not want to capture Ayiso alive. After breaking through the defense, he immediately let the flames spewing from the divine eye drill in along the gap.

"Whoosh~"

Ayiso's True Spirit Fire Seed burned out.

"Woo woo~"

A low whimpering sound came from underground, and then Zhao Xing found that the medicine turtle was moving away rapidly. It seemed that it had discovered its master was dead and had completely given up on rescue.

"Swish swish swish~~~"

Just as Zhao Xing had killed Ayiso, several powerful auras appeared around Fuhe Valley, including a man riding a dragon head bone, who was none other than the Heavenly Divine Official Yi Qing.

There was also a Demon Race Heavenly Divine Official with a snake head, a sheep body, covered in scales, and burning with purple flames.

When they arrived, they happened to see Zhao Xing burning Ayiso to nothing.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~

There were quite a few Divine Guards and Earth Divine Officials at the Three-Curve River Bend, and feeling the movement of the battle, they all rushed over.

"Everyone, Ayiso is a spy..." Zhao Xing prepared his rhetoric and began to shout to the surroundings to avoid misunderstanding.

"Hmm? That is the Heaven-Patrolling Divine Guard Venerable Chen'an? He actually killed Ayiso?"

"Ayiso was actually sent by a Free Divine to lurk? Did he have a grudge against Venerable Chen'an before?"

"Ayiso is a Medical Venerable, but he also has the thirteenth rank. Venerable Chen'an is only the ninth rank; how did he do it?"

"It's the Hou Bian Method! But I have never seen this kind of Hou Bian Method. It can actually allow a ninth-rank demigod to fight across several ranks?"

"Interesting. I wonder how it will be disposed of."

"Ayiso was introduced by the Heavenly Divine Official 'Qizi'. Now there's a good show to watch."

"..."

Divine thoughts collided in the air. Different Earth Divine Officials and Heavenly Divine Officials did not speak rashly, all looking at the Demon Race Heavenly Divine Official.

This Earth Divine Official Ayiso was led by the Heavenly Divine Official 'Qizi', and Qizi was a subordinate of the Great Divine Official 'Zhiguan'.

"Zhao Chen'an, whether Ayiso is a spy cannot be heard from your side alone." Qizi's vertical eye stared coldly at Zhao Xing: "On the contrary, you, a ninth-rank Venerable, can kill the thirteenth-rank Ayiso; it is very suspicious! Capture yourself and come with me to see the Great Divine Official!"

After saying that, he spat out a purple mist, wrapping it toward Zhao Xing, intending to take him away for interrogation.

Zhao Xing was expressionless, not even making any movement.

Just at this moment—

"Wait."

A burst of green smoke suddenly emerged from the ground, a figure appeared, the soil arched up, condensed layer by layer, forming a mountain peak, blocking Qizi's capture spell.

"Boom!"

The mountain was still a mountain, but the purple mist was sucked into the mountain.

Venerable Lancuan saved the scene in time as predicted by the Eight-Direction Divine Mirror.

"Divine Official Qizi, if you want to capture and interrogate, it should be me."

Venerable Lancuan's voice was very calm, but very powerful.

"Lancuan, you are just an Earth Divine Official; how dare you block me?" Qizi was even more annoyed. "Move aside!"

Venerable Lancuan was calm and did not speak, but drew a circle under his feet. The circle suddenly turned into a vacuum, and golden light appeared. Another figure walked out from inside.

What a high-level Earth Connection Technique! Zhao Xing only then discovered that the spell cast by Venerable Lancuan was very similar to the Ancient Hill spell he had learned.

Sure enough, Venerable Lancuan was the teacher of Venerable Meishan, Divine Venerable Lan?

That's right, he also said that the third layer of the Earth Refining Method was only known to him and one other person. Could it be that Venerable Meishan already existed at this time?

"Hum~" The figure had not yet appeared, but the voice had already arrived.

A vine stretched out from the underground circle and whipped Qizi over.

"What are you, to dare to speak to Lancuan like that."

The person who came was none other than Gu Luohe.

Qizi, who was whipped, rolled for thousands of meters before stopping, but he immediately realized something and lowered his head: "Greetings, Great Divine Official."

He felt in his heart that this was a conspiracy theory.

He had checked Ayiso himself and there was no problem. How could Ayiso have a problem after the Great Divine Official Luohe arrived? Could it be that he was using his own people to establish prestige?

However, even so, he had to slide and surrender now. A Great Divine Official was a Great Divine Official; even if Gu Luohe was only a Venerable, he was not someone he could afford to offend.

"All disperse. Are you very idle?" Gu Luohe scanned the surroundings. In a shadow, green light appeared like a remnant shadow. Everyone suddenly moved away from Gu Luohe and began to talk to themselves.

"What's going on? Why did the Great Divine Official come here?"

"What just happened?"

"I don't know... The Great Divine Official descended; I'm afraid there is a change in the Nine Yin River."

"Go back quickly."

Zhao Xing looked at Gu Luohe's back, and there were only two words in his heart: domineering.

Whipping away a fourteenth-rank Heavenly Divine Official, and then erasing everyone's memory, this was too domineering.

And in Zhao Xing's panel detection, this was not Gu Luohe's true body, but just a... Primordial Straw Man!

"Gu Luohe at this time actually learned the Primordial Straw Man Method? No, how can his Primordial Straw Man Method cast an internal world, or is he raising plant troops in the straw man?"

Zhao Xing couldn't see the trick, but felt it was very strange.

It stands to reason that he only saw Jin Yan and Zuo Qiyu on the Straw Man Great Dao, not Gu Luohe.

In the Desolate Era, he had never seen Gu Luohe have a Primordial Incarnation; every time it was either a magic power incarnation or his true body.

"The Five Poisons said that only when Gu Luohe is present can he suppress the killing intent of the two Primordial Straw Man cultivators. What is the connection?"

Sensing Zhao Xing's gaze, Gu Luohe looked back.

This was the third time he had looked at Zhao Xing.

"What is your name?"

"Reporting to the Great Divine Official, my name is Zhao Xing."

"Zhao Xing?" Gu Luohe read the name and nodded slightly: "You are very good. In the future, if there is a chance, I will let you come to my internal world to cultivate."

The lair of the Dan Ye Free Divine.

"Master, Ayiso is dead."

The medicine turtle reported sadly. Although his master was Dan Ye, Ayiso usually raised him and accompanied him.

"Who killed him?" The Dan Ye Free Divine frowned.

"It was that human named Zhao Xing."

"How is it possible? He is only ninth rank; how could he kill Ayiso?" The Dan Ye Free Divine waved his hand to disperse a mist, revealing a soul well in the mist. "Even the soul well is broken; it must not be him."

"But I saw it with my own eyes..."

"You don't have to say it. To kill Ayiso thoroughly, only divine means can do it." The Dan Ye Free Divine said, "There must be someone else interfering here... Hmm?!"

Just as he was speaking, the Dan Ye Free Divine discovered that the soul well representing Ayiso, although already broken, immediately grew a sapling again.

The Dan Ye Free Divine's face changed, and he immediately reached out and pointed at the soul well.

"Boom!"

The soul well was destroyed again.

"Void seed tracing causality, what a powerful derivative seed! This place cannot be stayed in!" The Dan Ye Free Divine immediately said. "Leave quickly."

Fuhe Valley, half a charred purple vine suddenly appeared in the hand of Gu Luohe's incarnation. He said to Venerable Lancuan: "He really offended a Free Divine; he didn't lie."

Venerable Lancuan also glanced at Zhao Xing, who was sitting cross-legged and recovering not far away: "Can you see what kind of Hou Bian Method he used? It seems very brilliant."

Gu Luohe was the son of a Heavenly God, and the Hou Bian Method belonged to the Heavenly Time Law. Gu Luohe should recognize it.

"I don't know." Gu Luohe pondered, "He used magic tools to assist; it is a Hou Bian Method combined with medical Dao. I can't see its origin. You haven't asked him about his identity?"

"He said he was reborn in the soul well and forgot many memories."

"Wait until he is rested, then we can ask carefully."

"Hmm."

Zhao Xing was very panicked now, not because he heard the conversation between Gu Luohe and Venerable Lancuan, nor because he would be questioned about his origin.

But because when he was recovering, he suddenly felt a strong summons.

The divine object he had sensed since descending to the Profound Yellow Realm was approaching at an astonishing distance and was about to cross the last stretch.

"Coming at this time? Don't, please?!" Zhao Xing couldn't help but worry.

"Rumble~~~"

A thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky.

Zhao Xing suddenly saw both the Sun Star and the Moon Star at the same time.

Then it was a sail; it turned out to be embroidered on the sail.

The ancient ship had three flags, one of which was embroidered with an ancient character, and there was a soaring bird on the hull.

Space-time froze at this moment.

This was not a feeling, but it seemed to have stopped completely. Gu Luohe and Venerable Lancuan were both lowering their heads, maintaining a static posture.

When Zhao Xing saw clearly the warship that had broken through the world, he was taken aback.

"That Yin-Yang warship? Why is it it?"

A strong attraction came from the warship, and Zhao Xing couldn't help but fly onto the ship.

Immediately after, there was another loud bang, and the warship broke through the air and left.

Profound Spirit Star Domain, Desolate Era, Primordial Realm.

On a leaf at the very top of the Primordial Divine Tree, this was Gu Luohe's place of cultivation.

When Zhao Xing left on the warship, Gu Luohe, who was staring at a cosmic map in Primordial City like a statue, suddenly came to life.

Because there was an extra memory in his mind.

Swish~

Gu Luohe's figure flashed, leaving Primordial City and appearing in another space.

A majestic figure, like the center of the universe, all the light of the world gathered on him.

"Luohe, why did you suddenly come to my Moyuan Realm."

"Great Emperor, there is suddenly an extra space-time memory in my mind." Gu Luohe said.

"What do you remember."

"I don't know why, but I remember a memory; it is called the Profound Yellow Realm, and I experienced a period of time in the Profound Yellow Realm."

"Great Emperor, have I really been there?"

"Yes, both you and I have been there."

Gu Luohe had some doubts in his eyes: "Great Emperor, what kind of place is the Profound Yellow Realm? Why would even I be blocked from this memory."

Red Star Great Emperor was silent for a moment: "I don't know."

"I only know that when the Void Ancestor re-cultivated, he used the alias 'Yuan' and founded the White Bone Divine Domain there, wanting to create a second method of becoming a god through martial arts."

"But what happened later, I don't know. I only retained the memory of 831 years there."

"The Moon God Palace Master retained a little more than I did, about 1, 00 years of memory."

A look of shock flashed across Gu Luohe's indifferent face.

Even the Great Emperor and the Palace Master of the Origin Heavenly Palace knew very little; no wonder he was blocked from his space-time memory.

"Great Emperor, I found in my memory that Zhao Xing appeared there." Gu Luohe recalled. "Why is this? Does he have anything special?"

"I don't know more than you do; perhaps the Reincarnation Divine Lord and the Palace Master know." Red Star Great Emperor seemed to be staring at the River of Time.

"Judging only from the prediction results of the Great Expansion Divine Weapon, Zhao Xing, Wei Tianchen, and Venerable Bamboo Sword just broke in by accident. When the chaos of space-time is smoothed out, they will automatically detach."

Gu Luohe was silent. The Great Emperor's combat power was already the strongest of the generation; even he didn't know what kind of place the Profound Yellow Realm was?

"Perhaps, there is one person who knows."

"Are you talking about Bowei?"

"Yes, in the Desolate Era, the only person who can see the chaotic River of History clearly is Bowei. Apart from that, even a Divine King can hardly see it clearly."

"Where is Bowei?"

"Imprisoned in the Reincarnation Cemetery. I once asked him what he saw, but he refused to say anything."

Bowei broke the seal of the World Domain Channel and released the incarnation of a Divine King; Gu Luohe knew this.

"Bowei caused the imbalance of the World-Passing Tower, and space-time appeared with a large degree of disturbance. The Palace Master went to chase that divine power incarnation and found that the direction he fled was the Chenluo Desolate Domain."

"At that time, the Profound Spirit History Book issued a warning in that direction, but the chain reaction had already formed."

"The channel on the Reincarnation Divine Palace side also produced anomalies."

Gu Luohe: "What kind of consequences will it bring?"

"The current disturbance is unknown." Red Star Great Emperor's voice was low: "But the natural disasters of the Third Era are already unavoidable."

"Luohe, you may have to step into the Divine Realm before the Desolate Era still possesses certainty, otherwise I may not be able to protect you."

Gu Luohe's heart sank: "Has it reached this step?"

Red Star Great Emperor nodded lightly: "You can see Zhao Xing in your newly appeared space-time memory, which can prove that the channel blockage has failed. Only by becoming a god can you ensure your own independence."

Gu Luohe said in a deep voice: "Great Emperor, I want to go see Bowei."

Red Star Great Emperor wanted to refuse, because Gu Luohe was doing useless work.

However, suddenly, his head seemed to move, looking at a certain place in the Chenluo Desolate Domain.

"You can." Red Star Great Emperor nodded: "The Great Expansion Divine Weapon observed that space-time fluctuations appeared in the Chenluo Desolate Domain; Zhao Xing has come out. You take him to see Bowei."

"If there is anything that can move Bowei and make him willing to open his mouth, it is only the natural thirst for knowledge in the scholar's divinity."

Gu Luohe nodded, then disappeared from Primordial City.

Chenluo Desolate Domain, the former site of the Great Ye Dynasty, Xingxian Pass.

Zhao Xing stood in the starry sky, looking at the bland spiritual energy around him, his expression somewhat dazed.

At this time, a coordinate prompt appeared on his panel.

【You have entered the ruins of the Great Ye Dynasty, Xingxian Pass (Coordinates: Sun 3, Jueyin 1, Wood Armor 4.)】

"I'm back?" Zhao Xing was a little puzzled. "I was just in the White Bone Divine Domain; how did I suddenly come back?"

His brain was a little chaotic. After a while, Zhao Xing remembered that after he killed Ayiso in the White Bone Divine Domain, he summoned a warship, and then he reappeared here. The place where Wei Tianchen and Venerable Bamboo Sword traded him back then.

"But, where is the ship?" Zhao Xing touched for a long time and found that he didn't see the Yin-Yang warship. A moment later, his pupils shrank. Because he found a ship mark on the panel, followed by four words: 【Land of Fengshan】.

"Land of Fengshan, what kind of new function is this? I didn't become a god in my previous life; it seems I missed a lot of versions and functions." Zhao Xing was a little surprised. He really hadn't played with this new function of the panel in his previous life. However, it was gray at this time, and Zhao Xing didn't react even after clicking twice.

After organizing his thoughts, Zhao Xing felt that he should return to the Empire first. He didn't know what time it was now, and he didn't know how long had passed in the outside world since he entered the Profound Yellow Realm space-time copy.

How was the Star-Annihilation Ancient Road? How was the Great Zhou doing? Had Ji Si completed the four-realm cultivation in the Heavenly Master's Mansion? Had the Five Poisons Emperor and the Hongshan Emperor passed the True Spirit Calamity and become demigods? Bowei became a god, what was his end?

With too much on his mind, Zhao Xing immediately took out the Star Mirror, intending to contact his relatives and friends.

"Hum~"

Just at this moment, the Star Mirror actually rang actively.

A ray of light emerged from the Star Mirror, forming the illusory image of Gu Luohe.

"Senior Gu." Zhao Xing bowed. He always maintained a trace of respect for Gu Luohe.

"Zhao Xing, come to the Ancient Kingdom of Tianyou to meet me."
