Chapter 539

The mountains are green like eyebrows, lying like silkworm eyebrows; this is Meishan.

If the main continent of the Primordial Hill is seen as a face, Meishan is the beautiful eyebrows.

In the vast majority of the Meishan peaks, the spiritual energy index exceeds 40,000.

Any mountain peak moved to an ancient kingdom could become its Fengshan sacrificial site.

Since the tenth era before the Desolate Domain, the Ancient Kingdom of Tianyao had sent huge ceremonial teams to visit Meishan many times.

They even offered a sky-high price of billions of contribution points, just to invite a mountain peak from Meishan back to be worshipped as a spiritual mountain, but each time they were rejected by Venerable Meishan.

Zhao Xing and Lord Emperor Lushan escaped through pieces of territory, passed through several hollow tunnels, changed the Earth-Piercing Divine Boat several times, and entered a red-layered landform characterized by steep cliffs; this was the Meishan region.

Arriving at the surface and flying into the high sky, the red gradually decreased, and looking down, green, red, and gold colors were intertwined.

Meishan has many types of nanmu, which are excellent materials for world ship parts, and are also often used for customs defense, teleportation array layouts, and gathering-spirit series arrays for personal cultivation.

Following Lord Emperor Lushan for a while, 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 mountains and forests, and were not panicked when they saw people; instead, they would take the initiative to salute.

"Those are the Primordial Demon Clans." Lord Emperor Lushan introduced, "Some are local, and some are sent by the Demon Kingdom."

"If you go west to seven more large veins, there are two high-end life palaces, one is the 'Heavenly Demon Palace', and the other is the 'Ten Thousand Demon Palace',"

specially used by the two great ancient kingdoms of the demon clan.

Actually, without Lord Emperor Lushan's introduction, Zhao Xing also knew these two great palaces.

In his previous life, he also raised demon clan juveniles with powerful bloodlines, and purchasing the gestation qualifications of the two palaces required 1 million contribution points.

This was only for staying inside for thirty years; if you wanted to continue staying after thirty years, there would be extra charges.

In addition to contribution points, they also accepted Xuanling ancient coins and Five Emperor money, all of which were sky-high numbers, expensive beyond belief.

"I heard that one hundred and fifty years ago, the Ten Thousand Demon Ruler brought up the old matter again, wanting to buy a mountain peak and move it back?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Yes." Lord Emperor Lushan laughed: "This guy really won't give up; he's been scolded so many times, but still hasn't given up this idea."

"Last time he brought a pile of gifts, Venerable Meishan received him, expressed this idea tactfully, and then was scolded."

"He's not angry?"

"Angry? The Ten Thousand Demon Ruler has to laugh and listen to Venerable Meishan finish scolding."

Zhao Xing also smiled when he heard this.

Normally speaking, Venerable Meishan's status is higher than the Ten Thousand Demon Ruler, but not to such an extent; the strength of the two is not very different.

But even if Venerable Meishan points at the Ten Thousand Demon Ruler and scolds him, he has to take it.

Not just him, the Heavenly Demon Ruler is the same.

The demon clan still has to find ways to please the Primordial Hill.

Why is this so?

The earth is thick and carries things, nurturing all things and living beings, but some places produce particularly powerful life.

The ancient earth veins of the Primordial Hill have a particularly obvious improvement on the demon clan's offspring.

Whether wet, womb, egg, or transformation, as long as they are born in the Three Realms and Twelve Mountains of the Primordial Hill and spend their childhood here.

After growing up, the talent, comprehension, and bloodline growth speed of this demon clan will be far higher than those born elsewhere.

As early as the Five Emperors era, there were legends of the Ten Great Demon Kingdoms making pilgrimages to the Primordial.

The Primordial Hill also has a tradition of opening its gates wide every once in a while to adopt some demon clan offspring. Now, the Ten Great Demon Kingdoms send some juvenile beasts or adult demon clan couples every once in a while to carefully cultivate their offspring here.

In the early days of developing the Si Wu Yue Desolate Domain, the demon clan attacked the Chixing Empire, and also attacked the Desolate Domain Ancient Kingdom, and even the Primordial Heavenly Palace and the Samsara Divine Temple, but they rarely invaded the ancient Dao projects led by the Primordial Hill; even if they did, they were all ignorant little demons.

Zhao Xing had a causality war on him, which attracted the attention of the Demon God Palace.

But the Demon God Palace never thought of harming Zhao Xing, only being curious.

"Priests were incredibly weak in this era, but during the Five Emperors period, they were definitely a top-tier Great Dao." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

After all, the Five Emperors all had Fengshan ceremonies to sacrifice to Heaven and Earth, which inevitably required powerful priest gods. The scale of the demand determined whether the orthodoxy was prosperous or not.

If the environment during the Five Emperors era was relatively stable, then it would indeed be difficult for Si Nong to compete with priests.

"Twelve Divine Sacrifices—could it be that the straw man method created by Gu Fu Tianyang actually belongs to the Dao of Sacrifice? A wolf in sheep's clothing?" Zhao Xing pondered. "Gu Luohe thought his brother was on his side, and Gu Fu Tianyang's straw man method was not banned; instead, it was passed down, constantly cultivating successors, such as Zuo Qi Yu, Jin Yan, and me."

Zhao Xing felt it was very likely, because he discovered that after Pu Yan died, only less than 30% of the power was absorbed by himself and Zuo Qi Yu, while the rest disappeared. If he hadn't broken through and his Primordial Spirit reached the twelfth stage, he might not have been able to see it.

"Yu~"

Zhao Xing's mind entered his internal world, and at the same time, he entered the straw man body crafted from god-soldier-level materials.

"Boom~~"

Zhao Xing's Primordial Spirit exerted all its strength, and through the amplification of the Soul Tree Heart, he could only lift his right index finger.

During the process of lifting his index finger, space was constantly trembling.

Just by controlling this one index finger, a divine power was mobilized from the Earth Core Blood Nucleus and transmitted to the index finger.

"Shoo!"

The Boundless Continent was instantly shot through with a large hole.

A woman with a faint blue light and a ruby crown on her head said; she had snow-white skin and silver-white hair, like an ice queen.

"Old Xue Qing, don't waste time, add another divine worm." She stretched out her palm toward a bloated man sitting cross-legged beside her, on which was a wriggling worm resembling an earthworm.

"Zi Yin, don't be so anxious." Old Xue Qing didn't reach out to take it. "I haven't decided who to send to Taigu Hill yet."

"Let the Earth God Official 'Kuang Chuan' go; he is originally from Taigu Hill."

"Kuang Chuan?" Old Xue Qing grabbed a book from the air, on which were many names.

Her gaze fell on one of the names.

【Kuang Chuan, 16th-stage demigod. Identity before reception: Guardian of the Earth-Storing Office of Mengchuan Mountain, Taigu Hill. Received at Minggu Mountain in the 7th era before the Desolate Domain.】

"Why let him go?" Old Xue Qing was a bit curious.

"The decree of the No-Book God King." God General Zi Yin said, "The struggle for the Mountain Head of Taigu Hill is about to begin, and only he has the best hope of defeating the other competitors."

"So that's how it is." Old Xue Qing nodded, and afterward, she also sat down.

An ancient zither appeared on her knees, the zither sound was melodious, and the insect beast in God General Zi Yin's hand flew into the sky and fell into the azure river.

At the same time, a figure also appeared in the river; he bowed toward the direction of God General Zi Yin and Old Xue Qing, and afterward lay on the insect beast.

The 25th World Star Year of the Third Era of the Desolate Domain, Zhao Xing arranged the migration matters of the Great Zhou and headed to Taigu Hill with his main body.

He only left three split bodies in the Empire territory to serve as teleportation stepping stones.

Other split bodies were all recovered and went to Taigu Hill with the main body.

The 34th year, Zhao Xing and Venerable Hong Shan accepted the task of escorting the Scholar City's migration along the way.

As two powerful demigods, they guarded the safety of one of the Scholar City's migration teams.

Since the Scholar City was an overall migration, not just people, but also a large number of cities, land, palaces, and magic tools involved a huge migration project.

So the vast majority of things could not withstand spatial changes and could not be put into internal worlds or world rings—for example, the divine object Transmission Building, which was itself a powerful time-space, causal-type divine artifact, and could not be put into another divine artifact.

And the huge "Enlightenment Realm" accumulated by generations of sages of the Scholar City and built in the Scholar Dao City, all needed to be moved in the Phenomenon Manifestation Layer, otherwise they would suffer varying degrees of damage.

Being able to read classics and brush up on the scholars' favorability, and also save some contribution points, why not do it?

The contribution points for the Old Qing warning event had not been issued yet; saving a little more was better, after all, no one would complain about having too much money.

Thus, Zhao Xing also accepted these escort tasks.

The 52nd World Star Year, the Scholar City attack incident occurred.

One God General and two God-Soldier-level experts sent by Taigu Hill were attacked by seven Evil Gods leading a large number of believers while escorting the "Transmission Building" to the Ji Zixuan Ancient Kingdom.

Ji Zixuan Ancient Kingdom bordered the Black Heaven Desolate Domain, and seven Evil Gods led a large number of believers to launch a sneak attack.

The escorting God General of Taigu Hill repelled the Evil Gods, and this sneak attack was fruitless, but it also caused about 3,000 scholars to be injured or killed.

In the same year, in May, July, and September, attacks occurred frequently.

Due to the continuous influence of the Era Worm crisis, the chaos in various countries had not yet recovered, coupled with the time-space shocks that appeared from time to time.

Taigu Hill had to strengthen its escort capabilities to allow the Scholar City's migration to continue.

Perhaps it was good luck, or perhaps the target Zhao Xing was escorting was not valuable enough.

After continuously escorting eight times, Zhao Xing's team did not suffer any anomalies or attacks.

The 53rd World Star Year.

With a large-scale time-space shock occurring, the most serious attack appeared.

And this time it appeared in the team escorted by Zhao Xing and Venerable Hong Shan.

Mid-July, Zhao Xing and Venerable Hong Shan escorted the 46th local migration of the Scholar City.

This time, they were escorting one of the 【Nine Classics Pavilions】 of the Scholar City, and part of the "Enlightenment Realm" that had been dismantled, as well as a huge world ship fleet of the Seventh Dharma Realm dragging a pavilion, a transparent glowing barrier with countless books flying inside, and the Seventh Dharma Realm which had no substance but was hidden in the ninth layer of the Phenomenon Manifestation Layer, dragged by nine chains.

On this day, Zhao Xing was reading in the 【Medical Classics Pavilion】 of the Nine Classics Pavilion.

Suddenly, his brows began to jump, as if something bad was about to happen.

He immediately put down the book and walked out of the Classics Pavilion, scanning the world ship fleet in front, behind, left, and right.

At this time, Venerable Hong Shan also flew out from another world ship.

"You felt it too?" Venerable Hong Shan was already in the state of an eight-armed demon god.

He was of the Extreme Land Giant God School, commonly known as the Martial Si Nong School.

Now he was already activating the 【Demon God Earth Change Method】, clearly he also felt the crisis.

The last time Zhao Xing saw Venerable Hong Shan transform was when he was trapped in the Overlapping Realm Mountain.

"Hmm, I just feel something is wrong." Zhao Xing put on the Time Valley Rain Dharma Robe, and at the same time took out the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle.

"You take the bow, I take the stern, let's check separately." After Venerable Hong Shan finished speaking, he bypassed the Nine Classics Pavilion and went straight to the rear of the world ship fleet.

Zhao Xing thought for a while, and began to use a large number of Primordial split bodies to guard the Seventh Dharma Realm, the Enlightenment Realm, and the Nine Classics Pavilion.

Afterward, the main body began to screen them one by one.

Not long after he and Venerable Hong Shan took action.

Eight Scholar City elders led by Seventh Realm Scholar Yan Chuan suddenly arrived at the Nine Classics Pavilion area.

Zhao Xing's split body immediately sensed the abnormality.

"Elder Yan, something up?"

Yan Chuan did not answer Zhao Xing's question. He and the seven Scholar City elders behind him had sorrow and anger in their eyes.

The next moment, the momentum of all eight scholars changed in unison.

Killing intent soared to the sky!

Zhao Xing's pupils shrank.

When a scholar destroys their innate restraint, their momentum will undergo a significant change.

Since the Bowei incident, the upper limit of scholars had also been significantly improved.

Seventh Realm Scholar was already at the demigod realm, and Yan Chuan was an eleventh-stage scholar.

The seven people behind him were also at the eighth-stage Emperor level.

When everyone actively lifted the restrictions on fighting.

In Zhao Xing's panel, everyone's realm suddenly leaped significantly.

But their lifespan shrank rapidly.

In the end, Yan Chuan's true spirit strength reached a shocking fourteenth stage, while the other seven also reached the thirteenth stage.

"Elder Yan! Stop! What are you doing? Have you forgotten me, forgotten the purpose of this trip!?"

"Zhao Xing, you helped Taigu Hill and the Primordial Heaven Palace and other forces divide up my Scholar City's property, and you still have the face to ask me why?!" Yan Chuan looked at Zhao Xing with incomparably cold eyes.

"Generation after generation of the Scholar City cultivated talents for the human race, working their hearts out, but you killed Elder Bowei and arbitrarily changed the 【Follower of the Dao】 plan."

"Now you are even going to divide up the Scholar City!"

"You—"

Zhao Xing immediately understood that the time-space memories of these eight Scholar City elders had been distorted.

In Yan Chuan's cognition, he had already become an accomplice of the super forces.

And Taigu Hill helping the Scholar City migrate had also become Taigu Hill and other super forces wanting to divide up the Scholar City.

"Swish~"

After Venerable Hong Shan appeared and saw the astonishing momentum of Yan Chuan and the eight people, his face also changed.

Scholars were usually gentle, but when they decided to burn their lives and fight the final battle, scholars were also the most terrifying.

These eight people of Yan Chuan had defeated three tribulations in a few words, and their strength had reached a shocking level.

Zhao Xing looked at the panels of these people, and the data kept changing.

Golden Body 108,000 Extremes; Seven-Life Palace; Nine-Rotation Zither Heart; Infinite Sword Gall; Eight-Rotation Spirit Drowning; Boundless Wandering God Palace; Gestation Mother Nucleus; Azure History River, Azure Pouch Medical Book.

Of course, seniority is not that important in the Primordial Hill; learning has no priority, and the one who attains the Dao first is the teacher. There are only formal Dao teachers who have held ceremonies,

All-around templates.

When Yan Chuan pulled out the long sword from behind him, Zhao Xing couldn't help but take a step back.

He wasn't afraid of scholars scolding people, but he was afraid of scholars pulling out swords.

When a scholar takes out a weapon other than a book, that is when they are going to kill, and also when their combat power is strongest.

"Hong Shan Seal, go!"

Venerable Hong Shan knew that these eight people of Yan Chuan could not be saved, and there was no way to correct them.

Unless they could move the Profound Spirit history book over now to correct the time-space memories of these few people.

These eight people of Yan Chuan were simply preferring to be broken jade rather than intact tile, and didn't intend to give the Nine Classics Pavilion to Taigu Hill.

Yan Chuan's long sword was thrown out, heading straight for Venerable Hong Shan's life-bound Dao-soldier.

"Clang!"

The bottom of the mountain collided with the tip of the sword, deafening.

The light blue long sword flickered with cold light, and an ice-blue plane formed in the void at the tip of the sword.

The bottom of Hong Shan actually began to freeze, and the heavy earth veins began to operate unsmoothly.

The sword was very small, and compared to the huge mountain body of Hong Shan, it was simply not worth mentioning.

However, the Hong Shan Seal could not be pressed down.

Yan Chuan blocked Venerable Hong Shan with just one sword.

"What a pervert!"

Zhao Xing cursed secretly.

Facing this situation, he also had to go all out.

"Puff puff puff puff puff puff puff~"

The Heaven-Changing Divine Needle was inserted into his body, and the transformation was completed instantly.

At the same time, more than a hundred Primordial straw men also blocked the Medical Classics Pavilion, intercepting those seven elders.

However, Zhao Xing's attention was mainly on Yan Chuan.

Because Yan Chuan's threat was the greatest.

"Burning World Divine Eye!"

Zhao Xing's eyes reflected Yan Chuan's figure, and two rays of fire drifted toward Yan Chuan.

The dark void was torn apart by two fire lines, and the distorted void blocked Yan Chuan's escape route.

Yan Chuan hugged the void with both hands, and black water currents suddenly appeared under his feet.

At the same time, gusts of void wind appeared.

"North Wind Hundred Rivers Array? No, it's the North Wind River God Array!"

Yan Chuan possessed an internal world, and in his internal world, there was experimental heavy water, which was a Si Nong method.

Heavy water forming a river and array—this was the method of an array master among mechanical masters.

The void wind was not his wind method, but borrowed, which was the method of a priest.

Above the hundred black rivers, a phantom of a god appeared.

This was probably the Evil God that Yan Chuan's cognition had changed into along with his memory.

Yan Chuan didn't even look at the two fire lines emitted from Zhao Xing's eyes, even though these two fire lines were already at the fourteenth-stage peak power.

"Shoo shoo~~"

Two strands of Burning World flames burned through the void, but upon entering the North Wind River God Array, the power began to decrease greatly, and the fire origin began to distort.

After defeating one hundred river god phantoms, the power had already dropped below the tenth stage.

"Hum~"

The ordinary scholar robe on Yan Chuan's body was burned, but golden light emerged.

The Void Ancestor's Reincarnation Golden Body protected the body!

Directly ignoring this injury.

"He is almost invincible in a short time, hmm? What is he rubbing?" Zhao Xing suddenly felt his spirit tremble.

He saw Yan Chuan's feet floating in the air, his skirt fluttering, and the other seven scholars no longer tried to attack Zhao Xing's split body.

Seven people surrounded Yan Chuan, setting up heavy defensive barriers, seemingly protecting Yan Chuan as he cast spells.

Yan Chuan's fingertips plucked lightly.

It seemed that nothing happened around him.

But Zhao Xing's Great Sun Sea felt that the stars within his gaze were moving rapidly.

The nearby Yang stars carried the Taiyin and the remaining world stars to rotate, and the light connected with each other, forming large-scale light membranes.

"Heavenly Stars as strings, Palace Sound Scale, this is the Life Tribulation Method!"

Yan Chuan used the Yin-Yang binary stars as a base, and played the Five Tones Twelve Divine Scales.

This song was the perfect combination of the three Great Daos of Priest, Life Master, and Musician.

It was called "Life Tribulation".

Its ultimate goal was to mobilize the stars of the universe in a large range, creating a tribulation-crossing field.

When Yan Chuan finished playing, everyone in this range would be forced by him to trigger the true spirit tribulation!

Zhao Xing naturally recognized this song; this was a Musician God Skill, known as the "Funeral Divine Song".

He was a Sacrificial Musician!

"Damn it, Yan Chuan is going to send both me and Venerable Hong Shan away."

"I said the Priest Dao still needs to be cut!"

Zhao Xing felt that both he and Hong Shan had been placed on a cosmic star altar.

As long as this song was finished, both he and Hong Shan would involuntarily trigger the next true spirit tribulation.

Great sound is silent; although he hadn't heard the sound yet, Venerable Hong Shan's nerves had already begun to tighten.

"Drink!"

Venerable Hong Shan's eight demon god arms waved into afterimages, and the eight arms contained eight types of demon god talents.

The sky full of afterimages constantly impacted the magic array barrier.

"Puff puff puff puff puff~" Except for Yan Chuan, all seven scholars began to vomit blood.

Old Hong was a generation of Mountain Lords after all, and still had some substance.

But he was still a bit short of breaking the array defense.

Yan Chuan used one mind for many purposes, not only interfering with his spellcasting with the Mind Will Method, reducing the power of his spellcasting.

At the same time, he also controlled the flying sword to wrestle with his Hong Shan Seal.

Even though he beat the seven scholars until they vomited blood, he still couldn't stop Yan Chuan from playing.

All of Zhao Xing's split bodies were retracted into his body, and the main body stood on the steps in front of the Medical Classics Pavilion, motionless.

He was naturally not giving up resistance, waiting to be sacrificed.

But was waiting.

Waiting for Yan Chuan to invest all his remaining lifespan and energy into this song.

There was no time to cast the next attack.

The song was halfway through.

Zhao Xing closed his eyes.

The Great Sun Sea in his body surged, reflecting all the stars of the Saint Wing Ancient Kingdom.

Yan Chuan had many spells, but he didn't have god-level secret methods of the Heavenly Time School.

Zhao Xing's Great Sun Holy Body began to tremble, the sea boiled, and countless stars began to vibrate.

A new vibration rhythm joined this song.

Zhao Xing began to seize control of the Yin-Yang binary stars with the Heavenly Time Divine Method.

"Cluster!"

Yan Chuan's fingers vibrated the void faster and faster, his body trembled along with it, and his sound scale also became chaotic.

When the Life Tribulation reached two-thirds, it was already completely messed up.

"Boom!"

A large number of desolate planets in the distance began to explode, colliding with each other, losing their luster.

It was like a firework blooming in the universe.

Yan Chuan's fingers shattered inch by inch, looking up at Zhao Xing in disbelief.

"You, how did you do it?"

At the last moment of his life, Yan Chuan's nature as a scholar was highlighted, and he asked with incomparable curiosity.

"Heavenly Time Divine Method." Zhao Xing satisfied his last wish.

"Zhao Xing, your talent for spells is outstanding, and the two treatises are so amazing—but why do you want to help them harm the Scholar City?"

Yan Chuan stood up tremblingly, tears in his eyes, and issued a soul-searching question to Zhao Xing.

After saying this, he and the seven Scholar City elders turned into powder, and their origin was rolled away by the void wind, scattering all over the universe.

"Sigh—" Zhao Xing sighed. When he held the Yanxing Dharma Assembly, Yan Chuan was also present as a witness.

Yan Chuan also remembered him, and also remembered these experiences, but his key memories had been distorted.

Cognition is composed of countless life experiences; memory deviations lead to distorted cognition.

He remembered himself, but didn't remember that the migration of the Scholar City was ordered by Great Elder Feng Chen, and couldn't distinguish between good and bad.

"I don't know how many more people will have their memories distorted and their cognition confused under the time-space shock." Zhao Xing sighed.

It was very clear that scholars like Yan Chuan had been targeted by the Evil Gods.

The source lay in the 【North Wind River God】 he had just summoned.

Without time to grieve, Zhao Xing immediately conducted a "Cognition Identification" on all personnel of the world ship fleet.

In the end, he discovered that fourteen Lord-level scholars had serious memory confusion.

To avoid the tragedy of Yan Chuan repeating, Zhao Xing banned these fourteen people with magic power and then put them into a deep sleep with the Desire Dream Method.

After screening repeatedly, Venerable Hong Shan and Zhao Xing finally sat together again.

The two were silent for a long time, and Venerable Hong Shan said: "Zhao Xing, do a cognition identification on me."

"God General Mengchuan won't be able to make it for a while, and the team escorting the Ten Thousand Dao Tree has been attacked."

The Ten Thousand Dao Tree and the Nine Classics Pavilion were two of the most important treasures of the Scholar City.

The Nine Classics Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Dao Tree possessed a protective function similar to the Profound Spirit history books.

However, the scope was much smaller; only Dharma treatises entering the Classics Pavilion and the founders who wrote on the Dao Tree could receive protection.

This attack on the Ten Thousand Dao Tree and the Nine Classics Pavilion was more precise than the previous large-scale indiscriminate attacks, and the target was the human elites of the contemporary time and space.

Zhao Xing pointed, and a water screen appeared, showing images, conducting a cognition identification on Venerable Hong Shan.

At the same time, he also asked about the situation of God General Mengchuan.

"The Ten Thousand Dao Tree wasn't snatched, was it?"

"No." Venerable Hong Shan shook his head. "God General Mengchuan is a Free God General of the mind path. He is on par with the Empire's Heart God General Qi Luo."

"My grand-uncle is good at defense, and God General Qi Luo is good at offense."

"It is very difficult for Evil Gods to break through from the inside and confuse memories in front of him."

Zhao Xing also breathed a sigh of relief. If the Ten Thousand Dao Tree were lost, the loss would be great.

If the imprints on the Ten Thousand Dao Tree were erased, the cultivation system of the human race in the Profound Spirit Star Domain would regress.

This was not a question of whether to back up or not; erasing imprints through the Ten Thousand Dao Tree was like the Palace Master of the Moon God shielding the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom incident through the Profound Spirit history books, and cutting off the sacrificial Dao, which would cause many spell theories to be forgotten.

The struggle between gods and gods was never about killing how many people.

Killing more people, as long as it is not extinction, the gods of the Desolate Domain era can quickly cultivate another batch of experts.

In essence, the righteous gods and evil gods are competing for faith and the assimilation of concepts.

It's just that some evil gods have intense methods, such as the River God who just appeared.

Some are relatively gentle, such as the Boundless True God. Fifty-something years had passed, and Zhao Xing hadn't discovered any signs of activity from the Boundless True God, nor had he received any instructions.

"It's about time, you have no problems." Zhao Xing ended the cognition identification on Venerable Hong Shan.

"It's your turn to identify me."

"No need." Venerable Hong Shan waved his hand. "Your two classics are carved on the Dao Tree, and the Dao Tree hasn't been lost. If even you have memory confusion and cognitive bias, then there is no hope for this era of ours, and it should just be destroyed."

Zhao Xing nodded; the classics and treatises being carved on the Dao Tree had a very strong protective effect.

The Profound Spirit history books were aimed at the entire domain, while the Ten Thousand Dao Tree protected the elites; the power level was naturally not on the same level.

The world ship continued to advance, leaving the territory of the Saint Wing Ancient Kingdom.

Upon entering the territory of Taigu Hill, a new prompt appeared in Zhao Xing's star mirror, showing that this escort task had merit, preserving the Medical Classics Pavilion and the Enlightenment Realm, and successfully arriving at the Seventh Dharma Realm.

He gained about 30 contribution points.

【Name: Zhao Xing】

【Cultivation: 12th Tribulation Demigod】

【Profession: Si Nong】

【Identity: Primordial Envoy/Taigu Envoy】

【Total Contribution Points: 2,652,300】

【Remaining Contribution Points: 651,350】

【Contribution Ranking: 78,546】

At this time, the star mirror had restored some functions, and Zhao Xing, a demigod of this level, could use it with peace of mind.

However, he still couldn't enter places like the City of Mind, and the exchange of the Profound Spirit Treasury could be used, but the delivery would not be so timely.

As for the contribution points for the warning, they hadn't been issued yet. According to Zhao Xing's experience in doing tasks, he might have to wait for the Era Worm storm to pass before the higher-ups could make an overall judgment and reward merit.

"Hahaha, great news!" While resting at a star city next to the Grain God Star, Venerable Hong Shan suddenly walked into Zhao Xing's room excitedly.

"What great news?"

"Hahaha, Venerable Kuang Chuan has returned!" Venerable Hong Shan laughed loudly.

"Venerable Kuang Chuan?" Zhao Xing was a bit puzzled.

"Venerable Kuang Chuan is the senior brother of the Mengchuan Mountain lineage, and also the chief disciple of God General Mengchuan."

"Among our generation, he was the most dazzling. If it weren't for his disappearance, Venerable Meishan probably wouldn't have become the Mountain Head."

"But he has been missing for nine eras?" Zhao Xing didn't feel happy, but felt a bit vigilant instead.

"Hong Shan Senior, don't you feel there is something wrong?"

Venerable Hong Shan shook his head and said: "I just learned that Senior Brother Kuang Chuan returned fifteen years ago. After returning, he went through the interrogation of three God Generals, and he passed all three times. Of course, there is no problem."

"That is indeed great news." Zhao Xing smiled.

He didn't think too much about it; after all, this kind of thing wasn't particularly fresh. Since the gods felt there was no problem, why should he worry?

"Senior Brother Kuang Chuan discovered the existence of Minggu Mountain. He was originally ordered to explore that legendary first great mountain."

"Emperor Lushan Junior Brother said that this time Senior Brother Kuang Chuan returned, he brought back a lot of Minggu Mountain soil, and even a complete Minggu earth vein."

Zhao Xing's brows jumped. Minggu Mountain was the first great mountain in the known cosmic territory.

However, this only existed in legends. It was actually found?

And he even brought back an earth vein. Venerable Kuang Chuan's contribution was truly great!

"Senior Brother Kuang Chuan is currently in seclusion, compiling the 【Minggu Mountain Dharma Treatise】."

Venerable Hong Shan was very excited: "Taigu Hill is truly favored by the Extreme Land; first there is you, Zhao Xing, creating the Earth-Change Treatise of the Overlapping Realm Mountain, and now there is Senior Brother Kuang Chuan discovering Minggu Mountain—"

Zhao Xing saw Venerable Hong Shan so happy, so he accompanied him to be happy for a while.

However, they didn't chat for long before Zhao Xing found a reason to leave.

"Swish swish swish"

After continuously traveling through space several times, Zhao Xing entered the Dao Ancient Layer.

The White Jade Five-Mausoleum Boat floated in the origin storm of the Dao Ancient Layer, and Zhao Xing walked into a room.

Inside was enshrined a statue of the Boundless True God.

Compared to the small statue he got from Fairy Ni Feng at the beginning, this one was much larger now.

The statue flickered with red light; this was the Boundless True God sending down an edict.

"Coming as soon as it's called; it seems the Boundless True God can't sit still either."

"But my second ring task hasn't been completed yet. What is the situation now?"

Zhao Xing put on the Enlightenment Golden Hoop, and afterward walked in.

Incense, prayer, and afterward bowed and chanted: "The subordinate respectfully requests the True God to manifest." 【5

"Appearing on the panel, does this mean the feasibility is very high?" Zhao Xing was somewhat excited.

He had studied Wei Ling Tianchen's Heaven-Mending Technique, and also studied the Earth-Refining Technique; theoretically speaking, these two are also methods of attaining the Dao through heaven and earth, but they did not appear on the panel.

"It was really not a wasted trip to the Primordial Hill."

The god-level beings of the Primordial Hill 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.

"The place of attaining the Dao, the object of attaining the Dao, it seems to be related to mountains." Zhao Xing pondered.

The Boundless Tribulation True God is a general term; specifically, there are Boundless Tribulation Mountain Gods, Boundless Tribulation River Gods, Boundless Tribulation Star Gods, etc.

"Becoming a divine mountain, with infinite lifespan, is not a violation of the lifespan limit of cosmic laws, so naturally one does not need to experience the divine tribulation."

Suppressing the urge to cast it immediately, Zhao Xing continued to merge the cultivation insights of the split soul.

The memory scene reappeared.

The eleventh True Spirit Tribulation was already 1,500 years after the clone arrived at the Primordial Hill.

"—Junior Brother, since you came out this time, could it be that you are going to cross the tribulation again?" Venerable Meishan asked after seeing Zhao Xing come out of the Yuan Ancient Realm.

"Hmm." The clone replied faintly. "Please protect me, Senior Brother."

"Good, good." Venerable Meishan was shocked.

Crossing the True Spirit Tribulation once every five hundred years, this speed was still extremely fast.

It was still the shell of the Primordial Straw Man that limited the play of the split soul, causing the split soul to have to raise its secret art insights to an extremely high level.

If the original body were here, wouldn't it have been able to cross it long ago?

For the eleventh True Spirit Tribulation, Venerable Meishan did not see the formation of the tribulation.

Just when he was puzzled about whether this was an invisible tribulation.

Zhao Xing saw from his memory that a green river suddenly appeared half a meter in front of his body.

Subsequently, it spread rapidly, like a water film, covering the clone's body.

At the same time, Zhao Xing's clone also became illusory, flashing non-stop.

"Time river, space flashing, this is a time-space tribulation?!"

Zhao Xing recalled, feeling it was somewhat rare.

The split soul actually triggered a time-space tribulation that was very rare in the True Spirit Tribulation!

Even in the vast Dao books, records of time-space tribulations were 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 an extremely small range.

Even god generals are not necessarily all able to master it; backtracking the time river requires divine artifacts in hand, or reception by a God King.

"The split soul triggering the time tribulation is probably related to the time-space demon god suppressed in the Yuan Ancient Realm." Zhao Xing thought to himself. At this time, he could feel everything the split soul sensed at that time.

A tiny tributary of the time river descended, triggering the time-space tribulation.

First stage, the clone's straw man body began to decay rapidly.

One could clearly see wrinkles appearing on the clone's shell material, as if a person had aged.

At the same time, time was also flowing in the split soul inside the Soul Tree Heart (Samsara Dao Soldier grade).

If it couldn't hold on, it would age rapidly and finally collapse, returning to the origin of the universe.

Logically speaking, 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 finally understood the meaning of that sentence when Lan Shenzun met his original body—some words, some methods, one understands after merging the split soul.

"Lan Shenzun actually taught me the Time-Space Earth-Communication Technique that only the Mountain Head can learn?"

Zhao Xing was stunned.

What is the battle for the Mountain Head fighting for?

Of course, it's not for some secular power; the main benefit is to master divine artifacts and simultaneously be able to learn and observe some extremely powerful god-level secret arts.

The Yuanji Mountain divine artifact and the Time-Space Earth-Communication Technique are one.

And only the head of the Twelve Mountains can learn it.

"Backdoor opening isn't done like this either..." Zhao Xing felt somewhat embarrassed.

It seems that he still has to fight for this Mountain Head position.

Otherwise, it would be placing Lan Shenzun in an unrighteous position.

No wonder Venerable Meishan said that after he merged the split soul, he wouldn't be weak.

"Although I can't show it during the process of fighting for the Mountain Head, this also has great benefits."

Zhao Xing carefully realized that during the first stage of the time-space tribulation, the clone kept aging, but after casting the Time-Space Earth-Communication Technique, this aging was stopped.

However, the time-space tribulation soon reached the second stage: sending Zhao Xing's clone and split soul away from this time and space together.

Zhao Xing could see that at the moment 'he' crossed the tribulation, there was a very short instant where he entered countless completely different time-spaces.

Either being pulled toward super dangerous desperate places, or time-spaces where gods were fighting gods, or distant and dead futures—of course, Zhao Xing didn't truly descend into those time-spaces.

Casting the Time-Space Earth-Communication Technique allowed him to return countless times, just before being pulled toward countless time-spaces.

So Zhao Xing saw the clone flashing in place non-stop.

Three years later, Zhao Xing walked out of the Nanshan Manor.

At this time, he had completely finished merging.

"Whoosh—"

Earth fire surged, the Earth Fire Tribulation reappeared, and Zhao Xing kicked lightly.

The thirteenth True Spirit Tribulation was broken.

Immediately after, the original body reached the thirteenth-tribulation true spirit ahead of many other split souls.

"After merging, my strength has greatly increased, and I can fully break through to the thirteenth-rank demigod realm." Zhao Xing was in a happy mood.

For powerful demigods, crossing the tribulation is more beneficial than harmful.

"Senior Brother Meishan is about to retire." Zhao Xing looked at the characters appearing on the ground.

That was Venerable Meishan's reminder left for him.

In eight more years, the internal screening of Meishan will begin.

Only one of the seventy-two peak masters will represent Meishan in the battle, fighting against the candidates of 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 Sky Desolate Domain and get the reward from the Boundless True God."

Inside Meishan, Zhao Xing was already quite familiar with it after merging the split soul memories; the venerables of the seventy-two peaks couldn't be considered much of a threat.

However, the other eleven mountains still had many monster-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 receive the reward.
