Chapter 540: Cave Profound Reflection, Earth Treasury Divine Cow, Subdued Zizhao

I have seen many arrogant Sinuo of the Heavenly Timing School, but very few arrogant Sinuo of the Earthly Benefit School.

Living moves the spirit, raising moves the body. Sinuo of the Earthly Benefit School are often in blessed lands and spiritual mountains, so their temperament is honest and their character is relatively gentle.

But this person in front of him was exuding murderous aura, and his territory, the Flowing Qi was dismantled, and most of the Qi that emerged was of the "Nine Yin Evil Qi" type.

"Let me see what kind of path you are on." Zhao Xing glanced at the other party, and strings of data suddenly emerged.

【Name: Zizhao】

【Profession: Sinuo】

【True Spirit: 16th level】

【Nine Yin Earth Evil Body: 16th level】

【Cultivation Technique: "Cave Profound Earth Evil" 4th layer】

【Spells: Earth Walking Shadowless Escape, Returning Treasury Dead Spirit Curse, Five Evil Ghost Wall Array, Ten Thousand Phenomena Sealing Spirit Seal, Nine Grain Earth Palace, Two Rituals Earth Refining Method, Mysterious Mother Transforming Qi Method—】

"So the cultivation technique is 'Cave Profound Earth Evil'? I don't know which 【Cave Profound Earth】 of which era it comes from," Zhao Xing thought.

The Five Emperors Era had the division of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. 【Cave Profound Earth】 belonged to one of the Ten Earths and was a vast land in the universe.

The area of the Ten Earths was vast, and each piece was equivalent to the vast star fields of today.

It was just that as the Five Emperors Era ended, the Ten Earths were also shattered, turning into countless world stars and star lands.

Zizhao cultivated bamboo. Although it was ordinary bamboo quality at the beginning, now after the gestation of spells, it had completely broken away from the category of ordinary bamboo. Deep underground, the roots of the bamboo were full of sharp thorns, flashing with golden-red color, like poisonous snakes drilling toward his own territory.

Layer upon layer, Zizhao's bamboo, its roots plowed out tunnels in the underground, carrying soil, and were about to form a life formation.

In this way, he could prevent Zhao Xing's plants from absorbing nutrients underground, and take it all for himself.

Zizhao didn't know that Zhao Xing was peeking at his background, and seeing Zhao Xing not speaking and having no action, he just thought the other party knew his power and gave up resistance. He then retracted his gaze, calculating the next direction of invasion.

But the next moment, Zizhao found a violent vibration crossing the underground soil layer quickly, heading straight for the first layer of root network he had invaded.

"Sure enough, still unwilling to give up," Zizhao laughed. "Earth Evil Solidifying Origin! Fast!"

Golden light rotated at his fingertips and sank into the underground.

Zhao Xing's entire territory immediately became hard, and the loose soil completely solidified at ten miles underground, like hard stones.

And a layer of evil aura was laid underground.

"Interesting." Sensing this change, Zhao Xing became interested. If you look at the up and down directions from an angle, now he is above, Zizhao is below, and the soil layer solidified by the Earth Evil is the thick city wall.

The "city wall" not only blocked his bamboo from taking root downward, but also blocked the effect of his spells.

Because Zhao Xing didn't rush to do it just now, Zizhao now occupied the geographical advantage, as if two armies met, and Zizhao established the position first.

"Earth Origin Re-creation!"

Zhao Xing originally intended to shatter the roots invading from the other side with brute force, but at this time changed the spell.

It was also an Earth Treasury spell. The effect of Earth Evil Solidifying Origin was to solidify the soil layer, and the effect of Earth Origin Re-creation was the exact opposite.

"Tap tap~"

The entire soil immediately softened, collapsing layer by layer.

The city wall formed by Earth Evil Solidifying Origin began to collapse downward continuously, and the underground defense line formed by the first spell was on the verge of breaking.

"Hmm. Interesting." Zizhao looked at Zhao Xing highly.

Earth Origin Re-creation is not a profound spell, and its power is not strong, but its applicability is very wide.

Breaking Earth Evil Solidifying Origin with Earth Origin Re-creation proved that the other party's magic power was very pure, and the cultivation technique and foundation were relatively high.

"Yin River Nine Curves."

Venerable Zizhao immediately changed his move. "Splash," a layer of water appeared at a hundred miles underground.

The water flow rose continuously. After the first line of defense formed by Earth Evil Solidifying Origin was broken, an underground river was immediately formed in front of the second city wall defense line.

"Drawing Flying Spring Qi to rise, turning into Nine Yin River water, my Earth Origin Re-creation spell effect has become worse," Zhao Xing thought.

So-called isolated Yin does not grow. Under the obstruction of Nine Yin River water, the Earth Origin Re-creation spell had nothing to create.

Sinuo of the Ancient Hill are most afraid of encountering underground dark rivers when digging tunnels, because this is very likely to cause the engineering in front to be destroyed.

If it were seven hundred years ago, Zhao Xing would have five ways to solve it. One is to use the Earth Refining Method to draw Heavenly Qi to suppress Flying Spring Qi. This is the Heaven and Earth Proving Dao Method of the Lanchuan Divine General, learned in the White Bone Divine Domain.

The second is to perform "Qi Pulse" and "Boiling Amber", two methods, to evaporate the Nine Yin River water back into Qi, and then use it for himself.

This was created by himself, and later perfected by many divine-level experts of the Ancient Hill, the Eight Methods of Overlapping World Mountain.

The third is to use plant arms and the variant method of the Self-Nature School. Although there are only ten bamboo plants, they can be mutated now, directly absorbing the Nine Yin River water.

However, Zhao Xing's bamboo has not grown yet, and now is the time to grab time, so it is a bit slow.

The fourth is to perform the Spiritual Domain Earth Palace Method, taking away the Nine Yin River water, and at the same time, you can use the Earth Palace to press down, transforming it into 【Nine Yin Earth Palace】, just like building a battering ram to attack the city.

The fifth is to use the Earth Communication Method to lead the Nine Yin River water to other territories. However, Zhao Xing is now fighting with Zizhao, so it is not good to involve others.

If you lead the disaster to others, you might attract another opponent. Although you are not afraid, it is not wise and not a labor-saving method.

However, seven hundred years later, Zhao Xing has already explored the "Ancient Earth Treasury Classic" very maturely, and his degree of application of the Earth Treasury Law is not comparable to before.

Zhao Xing pointed, and golden light fell into the underground.

"Gurgle~"

The Nine Yin river water vibrated violently, and then the water level dropped rapidly. In the blink of an eye, more than half disappeared.

Venerable Zizhao was somewhat surprised. He looked at the source of the Nine Yin river water disappearing, only to see a virtual cow head appearing at one end of the underground space.

The cow head was drinking the Nine Yin river water in large gulps, exuding black-gold color.

"Is this the Water Cow Method?" Venerable Zizhao was a bit surprised. He wanted to resolve the Water Cow Method, but used two spells in succession, but it had no effect.

"No, this is not the Water Cow Method. I've been tricked!"

Looking at Zizhao's surprised eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Xing's mouth.

The Water Cow Method is one of the Earth Change Methods, but the one Zhao Xing performed was the Earth Treasury Divine Cow Method, which is more advanced and can only be learned by the Mountain Head in the Ancient Hill.

Its misleading nature is great. Zizhao used the wrong method to counter it, so it is naturally difficult to be effective.

The underground space condensed into the appearance of a divine cow, mixed with Nine Yin river water and a large amount of soil, and crashed down.

"Boom!"

Earth Evil Solidifying Origin was completely broken, exposing the roots of the bamboo.

"Moo~"

The Earth Treasury Divine Cow roared, the red light on its horns was great, and it sprayed flames from its mouth.

Venerable Zizhao was startled, "The Water Cow Method cannot spray fire. This is definitely not it, but what kind of spell is this? I have never seen it before?!"

"Five Evil Ghost Wall Array, change!"

Facing the flames sprayed by the black-gold cow shadow, Venerable Zizhao immediately performed his unique skill 【Five Evil Ghost Wall Array】.

The roots of the bamboo were underground, already forming a huge network. These networks were life formations.

At this time, Venerable Zizhao controlled the roots of the plants to weave and swim, quickly setting up the Five Evil Ghost Wall Array, surrounding the cow.

"No matter if you are a water cow or a black cow, once you arrive in the Five Evil Ghost Wall Array, you are a dead cow!"

"Heavenly Slash Evil!"

"Isolated Yang Evil!"

"Solitary Yang Malice!"

"Piercing Heart Evil!"

Boom~~

The territory began to shake, countless earth veins were like pipes, spraying out along the positions where the root formation was placed, and the light of the Earth Treasury Divine Cow dimmed immediately.

The territory began to shake. Countless earth veins, like pipes, erupted along the positions where the root-system arrays were placed, and the radiance of the Earth-Treasury Divine Ox immediately dimmed.

And the most powerful one, the Earth Divine Evil, is like the earth god's anger, forbidding the Earthly Benefit Great Dao. If this evil is performed, it is already the power of the divine domain.

"The Five Evil Ghost Wall Array is one of the unique skills of the Cave Profound Earth Sect. Bowei mentioned it once in a lecture. It has almost no weaknesses. It seems I can only attack hard," Zhao Xing thought.

Unique skills are perfect, but the people who perform them are not perfect.

Zhao Xing didn't want to spend much energy fighting Zizhao, but now he had no choice. With the 18th-level True Spirit blessing, the Mustard Seed Law Domain descended underground, and the originally withered Earth Treasury Divine Cow regained its majesty.

It rushed through the strangulation of the four evil formations in succession, the Dharma image ignited heavy virtual shadows, rampaging in the root space, directly smashing the root network into pieces.

The power of the spell suddenly increased, which caught Zizhao off guard, almost thinking he had been hit by a god.

Now the Earth Treasury Divine Cow was like a crazy cow.

By the time Zizhao reacted, 80% of the underground roots had died!

Not to mention invasion, with the roots dead, it was impossible for the bamboo to survive even if it lived.

"How is it possible? Did I run into a demigod on the White Burning Era Genius List?" Zizhao's expression was extremely surprised.

"I am already a 16th-level demigod, and to be able to crush me in magic power, even 17th-level is unlikely. Could it be 18th-level?"

Demigod tribulation crossing, every step upward is extremely difficult. Everyone knows that demigods with higher ranks are more powerful after becoming gods, but no one dares to always carry the True Spirit Tribulation at the demigod stage.

15th level is a threshold. In the endless space-time, those who can cross the 15th tribulation are geniuses.

Crossing the 16th tribulation, it is not difficult for such talent to apprentice to a God of Freedom General.

Going further, that is a character on the White Burning Era Genius List.

They are all super geniuses who shine in an era.

"Ran into a hard bone!"

Venerable Zizhao immediately realized that the opponent was not easy to mess with.

"So unlucky, there is actually such a powerhouse next to me."

Venerable Zizhao had no intention of confronting him anymore, immediately retreated, and focused on consolidating his territory.

Zhao Xing didn't continue to pursue. Venerable Zizhao managed his territory very well, and the Earth Palace was layered one after another. Now was not the time to take him as a target.

"He didn't pursue. Fortunately, his bamboo hasn't grown yet. It should be that he doesn't want to grab my territory for the time being," Venerable Zizhao breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, not wanting to for the time being doesn't mean he won't want to forever. I must take advantage of this time to grab and swallow other people's territory and complete the Penglai Divine General's test, otherwise with a strong enemy on the side, it will be finished sooner or later."

Venerable Zizhao also lost his previous arrogance, and even became cautious when invading and plundering other people's territory for nutrients.

"This person has such strong strength. The silver-haired one went to invade his territory and was defeated?" Zhao Xing's other neighbor, Venerable Pingyao, also observed this battle and couldn't help but feel shocked.

Pingyao was only a 15th-level Sinuo. After seeing the strength of Zizhao and Zhao Xing, he felt his own insignificance.

"I originally thought that among the geniuses of countless space-times, I could be considered upper-middle. Now it seems that I am still too weak."

The duel between Zizhao and Zhao Xing directly woke Pingyao up.

"Since this is the case, there is no need for me to participate in this test at all," Pingyao muttered to himself. "This opportunity is not something I should get."

He was also decisive, destroying all the seedlings with a flip of his hand.

And without the seedlings, he lost the qualification to participate in the heritage test and was moved out instantly.

"Swish swish swish swish swish~"

The battle between Zhao Xing and Zizhao directly caused five Sinuo nearby to give up the test.

Opportunities cannot be forced. If your strength is not enough and you insist on participating, it is not a good thing, but a bad thing.

Zhao Xing's surroundings suddenly became very empty. As far as the eye could see, except for Zizhao, there was no one else.

"They are all sensible people."

Zhao Xing cultivated the bamboo seedlings slowly.

"It's good like this. I can safely perform spells and cultivate bamboo."

Focusing on planting, Zhao Xing soon began the first step of planning.

"Ten bamboo seedlings, all ordinary, don't even have names. If you want to make it soar to the sky ten thousand extremes, you must constantly make it advance."

"What kind of bamboo does Mao bamboo need to evolve into to reach this height?"

"It seems that ten chances are many, but in fact, if the bamboo is formed, the difficulty of mutation is very great."

"So, the first step should be to confirm the direction of development."

Zhao Xing's heart moved, and he immediately pointed to one of the bamboo shoots: "Change!"

Golden light flickered, changing the life essence of the Mao bamboo, and it broke through the soil, immediately turning into a "Five Elements Bamboo".

This used the mutation method of the Self-Nature School. Five Elements Bamboo is a kind of bamboo whose life essence is best changed.

Whether it is Heavenly Timing, Earthly Benefit, or Self-Nature, the spells of the three schools can all take effect on it very well.

After the Five Elements Bamboo soared to half an extreme, it was obviously lacking in nutrients. Zhao Xing then focused his attention underground.

"To grow tall, the roots must be deep."

Zhao Xing still performed the spells of the Self-Nature School to lay the foundation.

"Among the root methods, I know a divine method, named "Mixed Origin Divine Foundation", which is a divine method for strengthening roots."

Although the Self-Nature Great Dao is weaker in the Water Bamboo Cave Heaven, Zhao Xing's Mixed Origin Divine Foundation still caused a huge movement.

The height of the Five Elements Bamboo did not change, but the roots broke through heavy obstacles underground, drilling downward like an earth dragon.

Soon the roots went deep into half an extreme, and at this time, the roots of the Five Elements Bamboo also began to spread to other territories.

The Sinuo who left voluntarily previously vacated five territories, four of which were occupied by Zhao Xing.

Plus his own territory, the roots spread to a range of five world units and went deep into 1 extreme underground.

"Life Earth Palace, appear!"

Zhao Xing pointed, and eight life earth palaces appeared underground. These earth palaces were used to balance the Qi of the deep earth veins.

Flowing Qi, Earth Qi, and Flying Spring Qi cannot be absorbed directly. Some are poisonous to plants. Absorbing too much might cause them to die, and even if they don't die, it will restrict their growth.

"Earth Treasury Divine Cow, appear!"

Moo~

An Earth Treasury Divine Cow Dharma image appeared at a depth of 1 extreme underground, beginning to assist in regulating the earth veins.

"Qi Marsh Earth Communication Method!"

"Earth Origin Re-creation!"

Zhao Xing continued to cast spells, and eight main roots were inserted into the eight life earth palaces.

Gurgle~ Gurgle~ The roots were like people drinking water, beginning to absorb nutrients in large gulps.

The divine cow Dharma image underground continued to plow out tunnels.

Three years later, the roots of the first Five Elements Bamboo planted by Zhao Xing had gone deep into 3,000 extremes underground.

And the bamboo on the ground was still only half an extreme high.

By comparison, it was like an iceberg revealing a corner.

"Every time you go deep by one extreme, the resistance is greater. The three Qi are more solidified and difficult to shake. These nutrients are silted up underground, and it is very difficult to extract them."

"If I don't want to be so laborious, I can only think of ways in terms of breadth," Zhao Xing thought.

"But I want to see where my limit is, so I won't consider expansion for the time being."

"Well Regulation Method! Appear!"

Zhao Xing spread his right hand, and the yellow light in his palm expanded, finally forming a square light frame.

Boom!

The light frame touched the ground, and the soil immediately disappeared and shattered, becoming part of the light circle.

Constantly expanding downward.

Zhao Xing divided a magic power clone and jumped into the well.

The Well Regulation Method is an auxiliary method commonly used by Sinuo of the Earthly Benefit School. It can open a stable space channel underground, allowing the Sinuo to go down and check the situation underground in person.

This is different from the escape method. The escape method does not form an underground space.

In addition, the Well Regulation Method can also be a "Drilling Method", which can concentrate on a certain point to open up the deep underground and open a hole, so that the roots can successfully go down.

The Well Regulation Method can also be used as a "skylight" to discharge unfavorable Qi for growth.

This is more flexible than the Earth Palace Method. If you use the Earth Palace Method to open a skylight, the volume of the Earth Palace is too large and not convenient enough.

Relying on the Well Regulation Method, Zhao Xing opened up the underground depth to 50,000 extremes in three years.

"Boom!"

At this time, the Well Regulation Method suddenly collapsed, and a peerless gravity crushed Zhao Xing's magic power incarnation.

"Hmm?" Standing on the ground, the main body couldn't help but frown.

Because a dead vein appeared at a depth of 50,000 extremes.

"Dead veins are common in underground development. The earth veins constantly overlap and collapse, squeezing everything out, with neither Yin nor Yang."

"The existence of dead veins is like a 'Gravity Earth Palace', and the power is extremely terrifying, and the dead vein belt laid down by the Penglai Divine General is even more terrifying."

"Spells, Dao, and matter are difficult to form, all turning into a chaotic state."

The Earth Origin Re-creation in the Ancient Earth Treasury Classic can activate dead veins and restore vitality, but that also depends on the situation.

Zhao Xing could not activate this dead vein under the arrangement of the Penglai Divine General.

"The Divine General's means are truly terrifying. Under the current situation, 5,000 extremes underground is the limit that can be opened up."

"It is impossible to obtain nutrients in a deeper range."

"Can only think of ways in terms of breadth."

Zhao Xing raised his head and controlled the roots underground to grow horizontally, and officially began his first expansion.

"He's coming."

As soon as Zhao Xing moved, Zizhao discovered it.

Because the other party was coming for him.

After three and a half years, at this time, Venerable Zizhao had plundered 89 territories!

Plundered the nutrients of 89 pieces of land and concentrated them on his own territory.

Zhao Xing raised his head and looked. On Venerable Zizhao's territory, the largest bamboo had already exceeded 70,000 extremes.

"Very good, fellow Daoist has good means."

Zhao Xing stepped to the boundary of the territory and praised Venerable Zizhao's achievements.

"Overpraised."

Venerable Zizhao was not as arrogant as three and a half years ago. He jumped down from the bamboo and appeared at the boundary.

He bowed, very polite: "Fellow Daoist, it was my fault before. I am willing to give up some space for fellow Daoist to pass."

"In addition, under my feet, I have also reserved a Nine-Direction Earth Palace, which is full of 9th-tier spiritual soil."

"This fertile spiritual soil will be my apology for before."

Zhao Xing smiled and waved his hand: "What are you talking about? It's just a small matter, I haven't taken it to heart."

Zizhao felt relieved in his heart. It seems that this person is still easy to talk to.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Zhao Xing said again: "It's just that I want everything on your territory. Please let it all out."

"What?" Venerable Zizhao was stunned.

Zhao Xing said the cruelest words in a gentle tone, so much so that Zizhao didn't react for a while.

"With fellow Daoist's ability, it is impossible to complete this heritage test."

"Soaring to the sky 70,000 extremes is your limit."

Venerable Zizhao naturally didn't believe it, but just as he was about to refute, Zhao Xing pointed confidently at the strangely shaped, huge bamboo in the center of the territory:

"Before you competed with me, a bamboo seed died."

"Afterward, you planned the remaining nine bamboo plants, first using the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sealing Spirit Seal, Nine Grain Earth Palace, Two Rituals Earth Refining Method, and Mysterious Mother Transforming Qi Method to cultivate a Giant Spirit Bamboo for extreme growth."

"But when it grew to 30,000 extremes, it reached its limit."

"Afterward, you adopted the extreme Dao mother tree flow method, cut off the crown of the Giant Spirit Bamboo, used it as a base, and grafted the eight spiritual bamboo plants onto the Giant Spirit Bamboo one by one."

"Making this Giant Spirit Bamboo grow to a height of nearly 70,000 extremes."

Zizhao calmed down for a moment, looking at Zhao Xing with shocked eyes.

He didn't expect Zhao Xing to shake out everything he had done in three and a half years just by looking at it.

What kind of monster is this person, actually possessing such high vision?

"I don't know what kind of sacred person fellow Daoist is? I am Zizhao, a disciple of the Cave Profound Earth God Sect of the Yu Emperor Era."

"My name is Han Bing, under the Boundless True God." Zhao Xing didn't want to waste energy fighting if he could convince people with reason, so he also reported an identity.

"So it is the subordinate of that True God." Zizhao bowed immediately, and then he asked sincerely: "May I ask fellow Daoist, why are you so sure that my method can only be cultivated to 70,000 extremes?"

"The Earth Treasury Law and Earth Palace Law you used have accumulated too many harms," Zhao Xing pointed to the eight nodes of the Giant Spirit Bamboo.

"Although you used the mother tree flow to force the continuation of the nodes, the harms have not been discharged, but still hidden in it, which leads to the deviation of the life Great Dao of the eight nodes."

"You have adopted the method of folding nodes to guide, but it is only treating the symptoms but not the root cause."

"Then does fellow Daoist think there is a solution?"

"Very sorry, no more," Zhao Xing shook his head. "You only have ten bamboo plants, all of which have been used up, and after multiple tampering, it has become accumulated and difficult to return."

Venerable Zizhao thought for a long time, but still shook his head: "I admit that everything fellow Daoist said is correct, but I still have one method, perhaps I can fight, I don't want to give up just like that."

Zhao Xing shook his head: "You should be talking about the Cave Profound Reflection Method, right? It won't work."

"You even know this?" Venerable Zizhao was stunned. He hadn't mentioned to Zhao Xing just now that he knew this spell.

He didn't mention it, but it was all written on the panel. Zhao Xing naturally knew.

The Cave Profound Reflection Method is a powerful Earth Treasury Law that can burn the last vitality of the divine tree to perform growth that breaks the limit.

It's like a person before death, suddenly becoming alive and kicking, even more energetic than usual.

The Cave Profound Reflection Method uses the power of the earth veins to start from the roots and conduct to the whole plant for a great rejuvenation.

"Why would you say my spell is useless?" Zizhao asked unwillingly. This was his unique skill, and he was still very confident.

"Very simple, because the Cave Profound Reflection Method starts from the roots, and you used the mother tree flow method to increase growth first. The roots of this Giant Spirit Bamboo have changed."

"The first Giant Spirit Bamboo has become the new root base."

"Unless you can perform the Cave Profound Reflection Method nine times in a row, and each interval cannot exceed 100,000 immeasurable times, otherwise your first bamboo will wither after the reflection is completed, and the second bamboo will not have started yet, which will not achieve the goal, but will only cause the entire mother tree to collapse."

"Even if you can do this, you still have to look at luck. Each time there is only a 50% success rate. You have to hit nine times in a row to make this secret method succeed as a whole."

Venerable Zizhao was somewhat lost. Not to mention that he couldn't do it, even if he could, the probability of flipping a coin nine times in a row and having it land heads up each time was also very small.

After calculating carefully, Venerable Zizhao found that he really couldn't succeed. The reason why he delayed using this method was also because he had no certainty at all.

"Fellow Daoist has high vision, I am convinced," Venerable Zizhao bowed to Zhao Xing after thinking for a long time. "With fellow Daoist's guidance, I know what shortcomings I have in this test and recognize my own shortcomings."

"I can hand over all the resources, only asking fellow Daoist not to kill my bamboo first."

"No other meaning," Venerable Zizhao said with fiery eyes, very sincerely: "I just want to see if fellow Daoist can achieve soaring to the sky ten thousand extremes!"

"I can hand over all my resources, I only ask that you, fellow Daoist, do not kill my bamboo first."

"I have no other intentions." Venerable Zi Zhao said with burning eyes and great sincerity: "I just want to see if you, fellow Daoist, can achieve the Ten Thousand Extremes of Soaring Heaven!"
