Chapter 511
The mountains are as green as eyebrow ink, lying like silkworm eyebrows; this is Meishan.
If the main continent of the Primordial Mound is viewed as a face, Meishan is the beautiful eyebrows.
In the vast majority of the Meishan peaks, the spiritual energy index exceeds forty thousand.
Any one of these peaks, if moved to an ancient kingdom, could become its place for imperial sacrifices.
Since the first ten eras of the Desolate Domain, the Heavenly Demon Ancient Kingdom has sent massive honor guards to visit Meishan many times.
They even offered a sky-high price of billions of contribution points, just to invite a peak from Meishan back to be worshipped as a spiritual mountain, but they were rejected by the Venerable of Meishan every time.
Zhao Xing and Lord Lushan escaped through patches of territory, passed through several hollow tunnels, and changed their Earth-Piercing Divine Boats several times before entering a red-layered landscape characterized by steep cliffs; this was the Meishan region.
Arriving at the surface and flying into the high sky, the red gradually decreased. Looking down, green, red, and gold colors were intertwined.
Meishan has many types of Phoebe trees, which are excellent materials for boundary ship parts and are also widely used for border defense, teleportation array layouts, and personal cultivation gathering-spirit arrays.
Following Venerable Lushan for a while longer, many demon clans began to appear in the air and on the ground.
There were adults, but the vast majority were juveniles.
They played in the forests and mountains; seeing people, they were not panicked, but instead took the initiative to salute.
"Those are Primordial Demon Clans," Lord Lushan introduced. "Some are local, some are sent by the Demon Kingdoms."
"If you travel west for another seven major mountain ranges, there are two high-end life palaces: one is the 'Heavenly Demon Palace', and the second is the 'Ten Thousand Demon Palace',"
"specifically for the use of the two great ancient kingdoms of the demon clans."
Actually, without Venerable Lushan's introduction, Zhao Xing also knew about these two major life palaces.
In his previous life, he had also raised young demon beasts with powerful bloodlines; purchasing the breeding qualifications for the two palaces required spending 1 million contribution points.
That was only for entering and staying for thirty years; if one wanted to continue staying after thirty years, additional fees were required.
Besides contribution points, they also accepted Profound Spirit Ancient Coins and Five Emperor Money; all were sky-high amounts, expensive beyond belief.
"I heard that one hundred and fifty years ago, the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom Lord brought up the old matter again, wanting to buy a peak to move back?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Yes." Venerable Lushan laughed. "This guy really doesn't give up; he's been scolded so many times, yet he still hasn't abandoned this idea."
"Last time he brought a pile of gifts, the Venerable of Meishan received him, and after tactfully expressing this idea, he was scolded for a while."
"He wasn't angry."
"Angry? The Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom Lord still had to smile and listen to the Venerable of Meishan finish scolding."
Zhao Xing also smiled upon hearing this.
Normally speaking, the status of the Venerable of Meishan is higher than that of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom Lord, but not by that much; the difference in their strength is not very large.
But even if the Venerable of Meishan pointed at the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom Lord and scolded him, he had to take it.
Not just him, the Heavenly Demon Kingdom Lord is the same.
The demon clans still have to find ways to please the Primordial Mound.
Why is it like this?
The earth is thick with virtue to carry all things, nurturing all life, but the life born in some places is particularly powerful.
The ancient earth veins of the Primordial Mound are particularly obvious in enhancing the descendants of the demon clans.
Whether born from moisture, womb, egg, or transformation, as long as they are born in the Three Realms and Twelve Mountains of the Primordial Mound and spend their childhood here.
After growing up, the talent, comprehension, and bloodline growth speed of this demon beast will be far higher than those born elsewhere.
As early as the Five Emperor Era, there were legends of the Ten Great Demon Kingdoms making pilgrimages to the Primordial Mound.
The Primordial Mound also has a tradition of opening its mountain gates wide every once in a while to adopt some descendants of the demon clans. The current Ten Great Demon Kingdoms send some young beasts or adult demon couples every once in a while to carefully cultivate their descendants here.
In the early stages of developing the Si Yue Desolate Domain, the demon clans attacked the Red Star Empire, the Desolate Domain Ancient Kingdoms, and even the Origin Heavenly Palace and the Reincarnation Shrine, but they rarely infringed upon the ancient road projects led by the Primordial Mound; even if they did, they were all ignorant little demons.
A causal war once occurred on Zhao Xing, attracting the attention of the Demon God Palace.
But the Demon God Palace never thought about harming Zhao Xing; they were merely curious.
Even later, when he was pitted because of Zhao Xing's affair in the Boundary Transmission Tower.
Later, no demon clan came to find trouble with Zhao Xing.
Until this time at the Origin Heavenly Palace, the appearance of Venerable Bo Meng was only a very mild competition, and the one sent out was Bo Meng, who was also at the twelfth-tier cultivation level.
The reason for this is not because the demon clans are afraid of the Red Star Empire, nor is it because of Zhao Xing's identity as a genius of the Primordial Realm.
It is because Zhao Xing is a genius of the Primordial Mound, has learned the Life Life Palace, follows the Venerable of Meishan to learn his craft, and received the Dharma from the Lan God Venerable!
Even Zhao Xing's legal theories are prevalent in the Heavenly Demon Ancient Kingdom; establishing the Boundary Mountain Society and the Annihilation Star Society—that was all for the sake of the Primordial Mound. "The breeding of demon clans is not easy." Venerable Lushan looked at the cute young beasts below. "With the changes in cosmic laws at different stages, demon clans with high bloodline talent are increasingly prone to premature death during their childhood, and maintaining powerful bloodlines is becoming increasingly difficult."
Zhao Xing nodded. Looking at the history of life development, plants, animals, and even newly born small worlds, their size and quality change from large to small, from high to low.
As cosmic laws change over time and enter different stages of extinction, it becomes increasingly difficult to give birth to innately powerful races. It may even cause certain races to naturally go extinct.
Like the 'Horned Abyss Snake' that Zhao Xing once encountered, I'm afraid there are no more than one hundred left in the entire Profound Spirit Star Domain.
Without a suitable environment, powerful races will weaken or even go extinct.
The Three Realms and Twelve Mountains of the Primordial Mound preserve the earth veins of the Primordial Aeon, the Ancient Aeon, and the Dao-Manifestation Aeon. This means the Primordial Mound preserves the suitable environment for breeding powerful life.
Generations of demon clans are sent here; over time, demon clans with such experiences gradually have a nickname—Primordial Demon Clans.
"The quota for demon clans to enter the Primordial Mound to grow up is largest for the Heavenly Demon Ancient Kingdom, followed by the Ten Thousand River Demon Kingdom." Venerable Lushan introduced to Zhao Xing. "The other eight great demon kingdoms have relatively fewer quotas, so it is inevitable that they will be jealous and criticize the two great demon kingdoms."
But the Heavenly Demon Ancient Kingdom and the Ten Thousand River Demon Kingdom don't care about this at all. Pleasing the Primordial Mound is equivalent to pleasing Mother Earth; what is there to be criticized about?
Furthermore, the title of Primordial Demon Clan is so loud and domineering.
It can be said that this batch of demon clans doesn't care about external comments at all, from body to mind; instead, they are proud to be able to become Primordial Demon Clans.
"Look, another little guy is about to transform." While chatting, Venerable Lushan suddenly pointed below.
On a small peak, a spotted little wolf with gray fur jumped onto a tree trunk.
"Awoo~"
Following a howl, the sky around the tree suddenly dimmed.
The peak suddenly permeated with a large amount of Earth Spiritual Energy, gathering into clouds, and a full moon appeared in the clouds.
Before long, the spotted gray little wolf began to shed its fur and stand upright.
"This is a Silver Moon Heavenly Wolf." Venerable Lushan stopped to watch. "In the Primordial Mound, the essential skill for these demon clans is the Earth Transformation Law to transform into a human."
Zhao Xing also watched with great interest.
The essence of the Earth Transformation Law and the Marquis Transformation Law is actually the same; both cause life to undergo drastic changes in a very short time, borrowing the power of heaven and earth.
It's just that the Heavenly Time faction and the Geographical Advantage faction rely on different sources of power.
The Earth Transformation Law is relatively not as difficult as the Marquis Transformation Law, and the danger curve of transformation is relatively smooth, not as dangerous as the Marquis Transformation Law of the Heavenly Time faction.
Of course, the Earth Transformation Law to transform into a human is purely a kind of humanistic education of the Primordial Mound's human race towards the demon clans.
With this link, the Primordial Demon Clans' sense of identity with the human race will also be stronger.
"Awoo~"
Another three consecutive howls.
At the fourth howl, the vocal line also began to change.
"Ah~~ I finally made it! Hahaha!"
The voice was very childish, and it was clear that it was very happy.
After turning into a human shape, the Silver Moon Heavenly Wolf danced and acted wildly.
"Oh ho~~ Made it, made it~"
Venerable Lushan couldn't help but laugh, but Zhao Xing's expression was strange.
Because the appearance of this guy below after transforming was 80-90% similar to his own, only the temperament was not as mature.
"Senior, what is going on?" "Maybe the little guy is a relative of yours." Venerable Lushan joked like an old urchin.
Zhao Xing had a face full of black lines.
"Hahaha." Venerable Lushan laughed loudly. "What else could it be? Of course, it's because you, Si Nong Zhao, are famous."
"Hehe, back then when the Primordial Mound helped you hold a Dharma assembly to promote your legal theories, the newborn Primordial Demon Clan juveniles basically grew up reading your legal theories."
"Many demon clans, after hearing about your deeds so much, treat you as an object of admiration. When transforming, the first template is naturally yours."
Zhao Xing couldn't help but be speechless; he always felt strange.
Will he be able to see many demon clans with his own face in the Primordial Mound?
"Don't worry, this little guy is just playing around." Venerable Lushan said. "Young demon beasts secretly changing into your appearance doesn't matter; if an adult transforms into you, they will be punished by the Primordial Mound."
"You are a Demigod, and your status in my Primordial Mound is not low; how can you be allowed to be defiled at will?"
Zhao Xing nodded.
There are strict regulations in the Earth Transformation Law. Heart Image, Dao Image, and Divine Image—if there is no corresponding authorization or life Dao map, changing into the form of a Demigod Venerable at will is very dangerous.
This little guy is only at the Dao-Establishing Realm, merely at the Heart Image level.
Unless he obtains his own life Dao map, such as if he practiced the "Nine Marsh God" like himself, and has a complete cultivation method, otherwise the wolf demon cannot reach the Dao Image or Divine Image level.
Even if he reaches the Dao Image or Divine Image realm, when the wolf demon transforms, he himself will produce causal induction.
"Thinking about it this way, what Old Qing did in the past space-time is not just daring, it's also a technical job."
The two only stopped for a moment and soon left the place.
As they continued to move forward, the surrounding idlers gradually decreased.
About two days later, they entered the main peak area.
"Meishan has seventy-two main peaks, a few more than my Lushan."
"The battle for the Mountain Head first begins with the first round of selection from within the Twelve Mountains."
"Zhao Xing, the situation is special now; the gods of the Three Realms have decided to open the Twelve Mountains Dharma Assembly earlier to select a new Mountain Head."
"If you want to participate in the battle for the Mountain Head, you must first stand out from within Meishan and then compete with experts from other mountains."
Lord Lushan and Zhao Xing emerged from underground and appeared under a mountain gate pillar.
The surroundings were shrouded in clouds and mist, with rays of light, and the peaks were looming in the clouds, with extraordinary charm.
"I will send you here; you should know how to get in for the rest of the way."
"Many thanks for leading the way." Zhao Xing could already clearly sense the existence of his split soul.
Gradually accepting the memories from the split soul, he naturally knew where to go.
"It's fine to be polite off the field." Lord Lushan stroked his beard and smiled. "If we meet on the field, don't be polite to me."
Lord Lushan is also a Demigod; he will definitely represent Lushan in the battle for the Mountain Head.
Zhao Xing smiled and cupped his hands: "Certainly."
"Going now~"
Lord Lushan's figure shrank like a wisp of green smoke and burrowed into the ground; in the blink of an eye, his aura moved far away.
"Lord Lushan's escaping technique is also very exquisite, much more exquisite than what I learned during the Dao Domain Realm period."
"I don't know how much my split soul has learned in these three thousand years."
Zhao Xing closed his eyes and meditated for a moment; when he opened them again, he already knew the method to open the barrier of the Meishan mountain gate.
Forming seals with both hands, the mountain gate barrier suddenly opened a small gap; Zhao Xing burrowed through and escaped towards the first peak of Meishan.
The first peak of Meishan is named Qingling.
Zhao Xing escaped all the way and arrived unimpeded before the main hall on the top of the mountain.
At this time, the disciples and spiritual beasts coming and going stopped to salute when they saw Zhao Xing appear.
"Greetings, Martial Uncle."
"Greetings, Senior Brother."
"Greetings, Martial Grand-Uncle."
"Greetings, Divine Palace Envoy."
Zhao Xing also smiled and returned the salute.
The split soul had practiced here for three thousand years, and his identity had undergone multiple changes.
At the beginning, he was received by Emperor Hongshan and counted under the Hongshan lineage.
But Emperor Hongshan was only receiving him as a routine at that time; he had the reality of a Dao Master but not the name.
Later, Zhao Xing wrote the Dao-Manifestation Aeon Earth Transformation Theory and held Dharma assemblies one after another.
At that time, there were Demigods who decided to raise Zhao Xing's status.
Lord Lushan came to teach; he had the reality of a Dao Master but similarly did not have the name.
It wasn't until the Tan Star Dharma Assembly was held that the cultivation avatar went to Meishan.
However, the Venerable of Meishan only taught and did not establish a master-disciple relationship with Zhao Xing.
It wasn't until the Lan God Venerable came forward that Zhao Xing's first Dao Master was confirmed as the Lan God Venerable.
That is to say, he is now considered the youngest junior brother of the Venerable of Meishan.
Of course, seniority is not that important in the Primordial Mound; learning has no priority, and the capable are masters. Only a Dao Master who has formally held a ceremony,
is a relatively important identity relationship.
What is more interest-related are the various official positions in the Primordial Mound.
The Earth Treasury Office, the Earth Palace Office, the Earth Communication Office, the Profound Earth Office, the Mountain Sea Office, the Mountain Temple, the Palace Treasury, the major Dao Academies, the Fengyuan Dao, the Star Sea Dao, and the various major Earth Dao Envoys, etc.
The internal institutions of the Primordial Mound are huge and complex; the Twelve Mountains are like twelve ancient kingdoms, and the highest status is the Mountain Chief.
And these twelve Mountain Chiefs have one jointly respected Mountain Head, who holds the highest authority over the secular affairs of the Primordial Mound.
The gods of the Three Realms—the Primordial Realm, the Meta-Ancient Realm, and the Dao-Manifestation Realm—do not participate in secular affairs; staining karma is a troublesome thing for the Divine Realm.
In this regard, the Red Star Empire, the Primordial Realm, and the Primordial Mound are similar; the Guluo River of the Primordial Realm is the highest authority.
However, a long time ago, the status of Guluo River was already equivalent to the Divine Realm, and he devolved many rights to Five Poisons, Zuo Qiyu, and others.
Zhao Xing's main body was here for the first time, but the split soul had stayed here for more than three thousand years.
So these disciples were accustomed to Zhao Xing's appearance, and after saluting, they went back to their own business.
Among these titles, the most important one for Zhao Xing is 【Divine Palace Envoy】; this is a position he holds in Meishan.
To facilitate Zhao Xing's cultivation, the Venerable of Meishan promoted him to 【Divine Palace Envoy】 after Zhao Xing's split soul completed several missions.
This position is to manage the Earth Palace cultivation and the operation of earth veins that suppress those innate demon gods, checking for gaps and filling them.
Zhao Xing's main body stepped into the main hall, where there are many doors leading to different areas.
Opening one of them, Zhao Xing met the Venerable of Meishan in a space full of floating mountain rocks and flowing lava.
"Divine Palace Envoy Zhao Xing, pays respects to the Mountain Head!"
The Venerable of Meishan was currently above a miniature continent; he had tens of thousands of earth vein avatars, all swimming around the glowing miniature continent.
Capturing, receiving, and analyzing the fluctuations emitted.
This belongs to one of the Yaoguang Earth Communication Methods.
However, what the Venerable of Meishan practiced was clearly extremely profound; Zhao Xing discovered that he could sense that more than half of the Venerable of Meishan's avatars contained intense time fluctuations.
Looking at his avatars, Zhao Xing's own biological clock felt disordered.
"Zhao Xing, you are here." The main body of the Venerable of Meishan reached out and pointed.
The light of the miniature continent suddenly weakened, the overall shape changed, the surroundings bulged, like petals closing, and in the blink of an eye, it formed the shape of an iceberg.
Afterward, it shrank rapidly and landed in the palm of the Venerable of Meishan.
Zhao Xing no longer felt the time disorder in his heart.
"Do you still recognize this treasure?" the Venerable of Meishan asked.
"I recognize it." Zhao Xing nodded. "This is one of the artifacts of the Primordial Mound, the 'Meta-Aeon Mountain'."
The artifact Meta-Aeon Mountain was refined by collecting the essence of all spiritual mountain earth veins from the Primordial Aeon to the Desolate Domain Era.
Generations of Mountain Heads have continuously supplemented it; it belongs to an artifact that becomes stronger the more it is refined.
The Venerable of Meishan nodded: "The most important function of the Meta-Aeon Mountain is that it can use the 'Space-Time Earth Communication Method' through the Meta-Aeon Mountain."
"Because this artifact contains the essence of a certain spiritual mountain earth vein from every era."
"Holding the 【Meta-Aeon Mountain】 and performing the Space-Time Earth Communication Method can communicate with countless space-times."
"The spiritual mountains whose earth vein essence has been excavated are the space-time anchor points left behind by the ancestors of the Primordial Mound."
"The Earth Communication Method can receive and transmit messages through the mountains existing in these space-times."
"Theoretically speaking, this artifact can allow people to travel through space-time."
Travel through space-time? Zhao Xing was a bit surprised; it turns out the Primordial Mound also has such means.
"Of course, this is only theoretically speaking." The Venerable of Meishan said helplessly: "As a super force, the sect history records that Mountain Heads from a long time ago could use it to travel through space-time."
"However, due to generation after generation of refining, this artifact has become stronger and stronger; even the teacher cannot open this function."
"My Mountain Head, my strength is even more limited; not only can I not fully understand it, but I was also influenced by the Master of Cold Food, causing the Meta-Aeon Mountain to lose the sensing of more than a dozen time anchor points—"
The Venerable of Meishan sighed with self-reproach: "The Cold Food God King, just one avatar, is so powerful."
"Although the gods of the Three Realms did not blame me, this has always been a shame in my heart."
"I have decided to step down as Mountain Head in advance, go upstream through the space-time channel, and go to a secret place to break through."
"After I step down, the new battle for the Mountain Head will begin."
The Venerable of Meishan looked at Zhao Xing expectantly: "Junior Brother, wait until you win the position of Mountain Head. You must help Senior Brother repair this influence."
Zhao Xing said with some trepidation: "I will do my best to participate in the Dharma assembly, but my cultivation is still shallow, and I fear I will fail your expectations."
The Venerable of Meishan laughed: "Junior Brother, you haven't merged your split soul yet; it's normal to have such worries."
"Don't worry, you won't think so after you merge your split soul."
Zhao Xing indeed hadn't merged his split soul yet; sensing from a distance, he had only received some unimportant memories.
Cultivation memories, containing the origin of the Dao, still require the split soul to be merged with the main body.
The Venerable of Meishan waved his hand, and a door appeared in the void: "After you came to the Primordial Mound for five hundred years, I had nothing left to teach you."
"For the next two thousand six hundred years, your split soul stayed in the Meta-Ancient Realm, practicing in the teacher's Divine Domain."
"After you returned, you couldn't recall the split soul, and the sensing was blurry; that is the reason."
"Now that you are here, go and merge."
"The teacher is waiting for you."
"Yes, Senior Brother."
Zhao Xing took a deep breath and flew into this door.
Behind the door, there was a different world; Zhao Xing felt that everything seemed to have changed.
The sky became clearer, the earth became thicker, and although the concentration of spiritual energy did not increase much, all kinds of Dao origins seemed to have become several times stronger.
At this time, the coordinate prompt on the panel indicated that he had entered the Lan Chuan Divine Domain of the Meta-Ancient Realm.
"The Lan Chuan Divine Official I met in the historical space-time of the Profound Yellow Realm was indeed the current Lan God Venerable."
"Meta-Ancient Realm, is this the Meta-Ancient Realm? I feel that as long as I adapt to this environment, it won't take long for my strength to become stronger."
The Meta-Ancient Realm greatly preserves the environment of the early cosmic origin; the environment for enlightening and practicing the Dao becomes better. Even if you don't do anything, as long as you live here and adapt, you will become stronger, and the hope of practicing the origin to become a god will be greater.
No wonder the Evil Gods all want to escape to the past space-time; this is just the Meta-Ancient Realm. If they were truly in the past, they probably wouldn't be willing to come back.
Just as Zhao Xing was sighing, in the gray earth, a palace emerged from the ground.
The Lan God Venerable and his own avatar walked out of the palace together and came to the steps.
The Lan God Venerable wore a gray robe, a pair of straw sandals, and his hair was held up by a white jade hairpin; his attire was very simple.
He was in the image of a middle-aged man, with no divine phenomena around him.
Consistent with the image he saw back then.
"Zhao Xing, long time no see." Lan Chuan looked at Zhao Xing's main body with a smile.
"Swoosh~" Zhao Xing landed immediately and saluted: "Disciple Zhao Xing, pays respects to the God Venerable."
"No need for formalities." Lan Chuan waved his hand. "The battle for the Mountain Head is imminent, and there is not much time left for you to prepare. Some things,"
"I have already explained to your split soul."
"You will naturally know after merging the split soul; go, take your avatar out to merge."
"Yes, many thanks to the God Venerable." Zhao Xing reached out and summoned, and the straw man avatar was taken away.
The reason why he had to merge outside the Meta-Ancient Realm was because the origin of the Meta-Ancient Realm had a significant difference from the outside world; the split soul had adapted, but the main body had not. Merging in the outside world allows for the effect of enlightenment and comparison.
The thirtieth layer underground of Meishan, Liuhu City, Nanshan Manor.
For three thousand years, if Zhao Xing's split soul body stayed in the outside world, it would live in Nanshan Manor.
There are multiple layers of space underground in Meishan; the first thirty layers are all spaces for living and practicing, with many scenes of earth wonders for people to enlighten.
From the thirtieth layer underground downwards, until the ninety-ninth layer, is the place where descendants of demon gods are imprisoned.
The last layer is where the underground demon gods are imprisoned.
Innate gods born underground, whose intelligence was affected by the influence of flow energy, are all violent, bloodthirsty, and have strong destructive tendencies in the Divine Realm, so they are called demon gods.
"Boom"
When Zhao Xing merged the split soul, the surrounding earth veins began to vibrate, and the origins of the Five Elements, Wind, Thunder, Yin, and Yang began to merge with the origins in the main body.
"It has begun." A large amount of cultivation memories emerged in Zhao Xing's mind.
The most profound memories related to cultivation are, of course, the scenes of crossing the tribulation.
Zhao Xing first saw the ninth True Spirit Tribulation, located at the peak of Qingling, which was also 350 years after his split soul arrived.
The Venerable of Meishan was guarding the Dao on the side.
"Junior Brother, your Primordial Avatar does not have the Extreme Land cultivation method and can only cross the tribulation by relying on magic power and the Geographical Advantage Law."
"The ninth True Spirit Tribulation is the key to becoming a Demigod; there are still some dangers, so I will guard the Dao for you."
"Many thanks, Senior Brother."
After speaking, he took the initiative to trigger the tribulation, and the ninth True Spirit Tribulation immediately descended.
This time, the tangible tribulation did not come from the sky, but instead surged from the ground.
He saw the ground under his feet suddenly crack, and the fire of the earth veins surged out rapidly, sweeping over his whole body.
"Ll-pu~"
The split soul body did not have the Extreme Land bonus, but it practiced a variety of Geographical Advantage methods that could be compatible with the straw man shell, just not as powerful as the Extreme Land amplification.
When the Earth Fire Tribulation appeared, Zhao Xing's split soul immediately cast a spell.
"Boom~"
Five strands of magic power surged out from the body, condensing into five earth stones.
"Bang bang bang~~"
The five earth stones presented different colors, like five spiritual beads, rolling in the air.
When the earth stones rotated, they crushed the void, and even the path of the earth fire eruption was distorted.
"Zui miao~"
The Earth Fire Tribulation was unusually fierce, constantly scorching the space, but because the Venerable of Meishan was nearby, the range of influence was not large.
"Five Elements Spiritual Bead Earth Palace." Zhao Xing felt the same, comprehending the secret method cast by the split soul when crossing the tribulation.
"This is one of the Life Demon God Earth Palaces."
The complete name of the Life Earth Palace is the Life Demon God Earth Palace; the Life Demon God Ajiara possesses a variety of innate abilities.
Having been suppressed and studied by people for countless years, naturally, many secret methods were born.
The Five Elements Spiritual Bead Earth Palace is one of them.
"Five spiritual beads, corresponding to Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth; magic power triggers five kinds of origins, circulating and generating each other, attacking and defending as one."
"As long as it rolls, the power can be continuously superimposed, extracting all the origins around it for its own use."
"Earth Palace methods are often limited by the environment, but these five earth stones are mobile Earth Palaces, detached from the limitations of the environment, and will not be affected even in the cosmic void."
Five Elements Spiritual Bead Earth Palace, two major features: one is mobile, and the second is that when rolling, the upper limit of power superposition is very high.
This Earth Fire Tribulation of breaking through to become a Demigod was easily resisted by Zhao Xing's split soul.
And when the cultivation memories merged and the origins assimilated, a prompt also appeared on Zhao Xing's panel.
【You have learned the 'Five Elements Spiritual Bead Earth Palace Method'】
【Five Elements Spiritual Bead Earth Palace (Demigod Secret Method)】
However, only a moment later, when Zhao Xing finished absorbing the cultivation memories, new changes occurred on the panel.
【Five Extremes Spiritual Bead Earth Palace (Perfect)】
【Description: Driven by the fourth layer of "Extreme Land" magic power, it is the Five Extremes Spiritual Bead Earth Palace Method.】
【The spiritual bead is the Earth Palace; when the five origins are condensed to the extreme, divine power is born from the spiritual beads, and one can cultivate the Five Extremes Free Divine Body.】
"Combined with Extreme Land, it is the Five Extremes Spiritual Bead Earth Palace Method."
"Once Extreme Land reaches the fifth layer, this will also be a secret method of a Free God."
The main body possesses the Extreme Land cultivation method but has no cultivation memories and insights of the Geographical Advantage Law.
The split soul has no Extreme Land but has secret method memories and insights.
When the cultivation memories combine, it is one plus one greater than two.
This secret method reached the perfect realm of a Demigod secret method in an instant.
As long as Extreme Land breaks through, the Demigod secret method can be promoted to a God-level spell.
Memories continue to merge.
The tenth True Spirit Tribulation, at this time, it was already five hundred years after arriving at the Primordial Mound.
"Junior Brother, I have nothing left to teach you." The Venerable of Meishan stood at the peak of Qingling, looking at Zhao Xing with some emotion.
"Next, you cross the tenth True Spirit Tribulation; with a tenth-tier True Spirit, you enter the Meta-Ancient Realm and will not be affected by the extremely strong origins there."
"The teacher will teach you personally; of course, you need to cross each tribulation in the outside world; it is inconvenient to cross the tribulation in the Meta-Ancient Realm."
"Yes, Senior Brother."
The split soul took the initiative to trigger the tenth True Spirit Tribulation; this time it was still a tangible tribulation.
A large amount of thunder clouds gathered in the sky, and the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation soon formed.
Because the split soul's body was not as good as the main body's Dharma body, the split soul cast another powerful method.
"Boom~~"
Under Zhao Xing's feet, five-colored radiance rose from the ground; these lines were like Dao laws, intertwined around his body like lines.
Before the thunder tribulation descended, a triangular phantom of a great mountain was formed, and the avatar sat cross-legged in the center of the mountain.
"Boom!"
The first thunderbolt struck down, thunder light flowed, and it was soon absorbed by the mountain; after a burst of shaking, the mountain Dharma image became more solid,
and it grew larger by a fraction!
Seeing this scene, Zhao Xing couldn't help but smile.
This method is named "Layered Boundary Mountain," but it is very different from the Layered Boundary Mountain created by Zhao Xing himself; it is a version created by the deduction of the Divine Realm of the Primordial Mound.
Originally, Zhao Xing's eight spells were all created for the earth veins of the Layered Boundary Mountain; although they were also called Layered Boundary Mountain, the eight spells did not merge and were only at the Great Divine Ability level.
Divine Ability leads to divinity; now this spell has become a true God-level method.
"Constantly growing larger, constantly growing stronger; the more it is hit, the stronger the defense becomes." Zhao Xing sighed.
"And this is only the first layer of 【Boundary Mountain Dharma Image】."
"If you encounter a strong enemy, such as this thunder tribulation bombarding rapidly, and instantly pull the intensity to the max, then you must cast the second form."
"Boundary Mountain Horn Peak."
Zhao Xing carefully comprehended; facing the rapidly accumulating thunder tribulation, the avatar finally had to cast the second layer of change.
The magic power in the body surged out, and at the same time, a Boundary Mountain Horn Peak appeared, overlapping with the 【Boundary Mountain Dharma Image】.
This is refining a horn peak of a Layered Boundary Mountain and hiding it in the body; when the real, non-illusory material merges with the Dharma image, the defensive ability suddenly explodes.
Letting the thunder tribulation baptize it, it couldn't hurt the avatar in the slightest.
There was even the power to counterattack.
Zhao Xing's initial setting for the split soul was to focus on cultivation, and he didn't care about anything else.
Seeing that the thunder tribulation didn't dissipate for a long time, the split soul started to counterattack actively in order to save time for cultivation.
That horn peak, which had been baptized into thunder, suddenly soared into the sky, and a sharp thunder barrier formed.
"Bang!"
The tribulation cloud was scattered just like that.
【You have learned the 'Layered Boundary Mountain Method'】
【Layered Boundary Mountain (Demigod Secret Method): First layer Boundary Mountain Dharma Image, second layer Boundary Mountain Horn Peak.】
Zhao Xing closed his eyes and pondered; just like before, when the Extreme Land cultivation method operated, it was driven by Extreme Land magic power.
The secret method changed its name again.
【Extreme Land Layered Boundary Mountain】
【First layer: Boundary Mountain Dharma Image (Perfect)】
【Second layer: Boundary Mountain Horn Peak (Perfect)】
Zhao Xing vaguely felt that this method had a higher direction, so he stopped and began to deduce it himself.
Finally, his figure shook, revealing a hint of joy.
He saw on the panel that a third layer of realm appeared regarding Extreme Land Layered Boundary Mountain.
【Third layer: Extreme Land Divine Mountain (Unproven)】
【Object of Dao Attainment: None for now】
【Place of Dao Attainment: Not selected】
【Method of Heaven and Earth Dao Attainment: After completion, one can attempt to transform into a Divine Position Extreme Land Divine Mountain; if successful in attaining the Divine Realm, one will be a Tribulation-less Mountain God.】
"I merged the insights of the split soul, just had a flash of inspiration, and after a little deduction, I actually derived a theoretical method of Heaven and Earth Dao Attainment?" Zhao Xing himself was a bit shocked.
Although the third layer of realm, Extreme Land Divine Mountain, is still only a theoretical method and he hasn't practiced it yet, at least he has a direction.
"Appearing on the panel, does this mean the feasibility is very high?" Zhao Xing was a bit excited.
He had studied Wei Tianchen's Heaven-Mending Method and also studied the Earth-Refining Method; theoretically speaking, these two are also methods of Heaven and Earth Dao Attainment, but they did not appear on the panel.
"Truly didn't come to the Primordial Mound in vain."
The Divine Realm of the Primordial Mound only deduced two layers; as the founder, after merging the insights of the split soul, he actually created the third layer theory of the method of attaining the Dao to become a god.
"Place of Dao Attainment, Object of Dao Attainment, it seems to be related to mountains." Zhao Xing pondered.
Tribulation-less True God is a general term; specifically, there are Tribulation-less Mountain Gods, Tribulation-less River Gods, Tribulation-less Star Gods, etc.
"Body transforms into a Divine Mountain, lifespan is infinite; then it is not considered to violate the lifespan limit of cosmic laws, and naturally, one does not need to experience the Divine Tribulation."
Suppressing the urge to perform it immediately, Zhao Xing continued to merge the cultivation insights of the split soul.
The memory scene reappeared.
The eleventh True Spirit Tribulation, it was already 1, 00 years after the avatar arrived at the Primordial Mound.
"—Junior Brother, you came out this time, could it be that you are going to cross the tribulation again?" The Venerable of Meishan saw Zhao Xing come out of the Meta-Ancient Realm and couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm." The avatar replied lightly. "Please guard the Dharma for me, Senior Brother."
"Good, good." The Venerable of Meishan was a bit shocked.
Crossing a True Spirit Tribulation every five hundred years, this speed is already extremely fast.
It was still the Primordial Straw Man shell that limited the split soul's performance, causing the split soul to have to raise its secret method insights to an extremely high level.
If the main body were here, wouldn't it have been crossed long ago?
The eleventh True Spirit Tribulation, the Venerable of Meishan did not see the formation of the tribulation.
Just when he was wondering if this was an intangible tribulation.
Zhao Xing saw a green river appear suddenly half a meter in front of his body from the memory.
Afterward, it spread rapidly, like a water film, covering the avatar closely.
At the same time, Zhao Xing's avatar also became illusory, flickering non-stop.
"Time River, space flickering, this is a space-time tribulation?!"
Zhao Xing recalled, feeling a bit curious.
The avatar actually encountered a very rare space-time tribulation in the True Spirit Tribulation!
Even in the vast Dao books, records of space-time tribulations are few and far between.
Demigods usually cannot master the origin of time; at most, they can only trigger a trace of time origin and use it in a very small range.
Even Divine Generals cannot necessarily master it; tracing back the time river requires an artifact in hand or the guidance of a God King.
"The split soul triggered the time tribulation, which is probably related to comprehending the suppressed Space-Time Demon God in the Meta-Ancient Realm." Zhao Xing secretly thought. At this time, he could feel everything the split soul sensed at that time.
A tiny tributary of the time river descended, triggering the space-time tribulation.
In the first stage, the avatar's straw man body began to decay rapidly.
It was clearly visible that the material of the avatar's shell appeared wrinkled, as if a person had aged.
At the same time, time also flowed in the split soul within the Soul Tree Heart (Reincarnation Dao Soldier level).
If it couldn't hold on, it would age rapidly, finally collapse, and return to the cosmic origin.
It stands to reason that the split soul absolutely couldn't hold on to such a tribulation.
But after a few breaths, both the split soul and the body stabilized rapidly.
At this time, Zhao Xing understood the meaning of the sentence when the Lan God Venerable met his main body—some words, some methods, you will understand after merging the split soul.
"The Lan God Venerable actually taught me the Space-Time Earth Communication Method that only the Mountain Head can learn?"
Zhao Xing was stunned.
The battle for the Mountain Head, what is it fighting for?
Of course, it's not for secular power; the main benefits are mastering artifacts and being able to learn and comprehend some extremely powerful God-level secret methods.
The artifact Meta-Aeon Mountain and the Space-Time Earth Communication Method are one.
And only the head of the Twelve Mountains can learn it.
"Opening the back door shouldn't be done like this..." Zhao Xing was a bit embarrassed.
It seems that he must fight for this Mountain Head.
Otherwise, it would be putting the Lan God Venerable in an unjust position.
No wonder the Venerable of Meishan said that he wouldn't be empty after merging the split soul.
"Although I cannot show it in the process of fighting for the Mountain Head, this also has great benefits."
Zhao Xing carefully comprehended; in the first stage of the space-time tribulation, the avatar constantly aged, but after casting the Space-Time Earth Communication Method, this aging was stopped.
However, the space-time tribulation soon reached the second stage: sending Zhao Xing's avatar and split soul away from this space-time together.
Zhao Xing could see that at the moment 'he' was crossing the tribulation, for a very short instant, he entered completely different space-times.
Either being pulled toward a super dangerous Jedi, or a space-time where gods were fighting gods, or a distant and dead future. Of course, Zhao Xing did not truly descend into those space-times.
Casting the Space-Time Earth Communication Method allowed him to return countless times just before being pulled toward countless space-times.
That's why Zhao Xing saw the avatar flickering in place.
Three years later, Zhao Xing walked out of Nanshan Manor.
At this time, he had completely finished merging.
"Hoo~"
A surge of earth fire rose, the Earth Fire Tribulation reappeared, and Zhao Xing stepped lightly.
The thirteenth True Spirit Tribulation was stepped off.
Immediately after, the main body reached the thirteenth-tribulation True Spirit ahead of many other split souls.
"After merging, my strength has greatly increased, and I can completely break through to the realm of a thirteenth-tier Demigod." Zhao Xing was in a happy mood.
For a powerful Demigod, crossing the tribulation is more beneficial than harmful.
"Senior Brother Meishan is about to retire soon." Zhao Xing looked at the words emerging on the ground.
That was the reminder message left by the Venerable of Meishan.
In another eight years, the internal screening of Meishan will begin.
Of the seventy-two peak masters, only one will represent Meishan in the battle to compete with candidates from the other eleven mountains for the final Mountain Head position.
"Eight years, I don't know if it's enough for me to go to the Black Heaven Desolate Domain and get the reward from the Boundless True God."
Within Meishan, Zhao Xing was already quite familiar after merging the split soul memories; the Venerables of the seventy-two peaks were not much of a threat.
However, the other eleven mountains still had many monstrous-level Venerables.
"Venerable Kuang Chuan is a powerful opponent; if I want to kill him, I must first be able to beat him." Zhao Xing decided to take time to collect a reward.
