【Name: Zhao Xing (Hou Bian State)】

【Soul: One-Tribulation Divine Thought】

【Divine Body: Divine Soldier Initial Stage】

【Duration: 31 Immeasurable Times (Heaven-Changing Divine Needle adds 30 Immeasurable Times)】

【Innate Divine Skills: Void-Breaking Claw, World-Burning Divine Eye, Heaven-Ruins Five Viscera, Longevity Wheel, Ten Thousand Tribulations Golden Marrow, Profound Underworld Transformation, Earthly Boundary Divine Walk, Thunder Body, Instant Eternity】

When Zhao Xing entered the first divine-level Hou Bian, he was completely immersed in the feeling of powerful strength.

"It's truly powerful; all divine skills are unlocked, and the feeling is completely different from when I was in the first eight layers."

In the divine-level Hou Bian state, the origin of the universe naturally leans toward oneself. The origins of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and space are completely controlled. With a move of divine thought, one can gather terrifying origins for attacks.

If it is said that in the human state, one only draws on the origin of the universe, then in the Nine Marshes God state, it is complete control.

The powerful and fulfilling feeling even gave Zhao Xing the urge to challenge Palace Master Lu Ya.

However, seeing that he was only at the Divine Soldier Initial Stage on the panel, and his divine thought was only a one-tribulation divine thought, Zhao Xing gave up this plan.

Those who feel invincible are only because they haven't encountered their nemesis.

And Palace Master Lu Ya's true body is the Qu-Ru Divine Duck, which can be said to be in conflict with himself.

At the fifteenth Immeasurable Time, Zhao Xing felt Palace Master Lu Ya's nature being released, wanting to swallow himself.

This made him even more clear-headed, so Zhao Xing immediately spoke out to prove that his consciousness was clear and he had not been assimilated by the divine image of the Nine Marshes God.

"Zhao Xing, you actually learned a divine-level Hou Bian Method; it's truly amazing!" Palace Master Lu Ya praised.

"It's all thanks to the Palace Master and Senior Yan; Zhao Xing is very grateful."

"No need for thanks; can you cut two pieces of meat for me to eat?"

".??"

Zhao Xing was stunned. I worked so hard to learn the Nine Marshes God Transformation, and it's for you to eat? Palace Master Lu Ya's request was too straightforward, right?

"Lu Ya, he can't even maintain the time for long now, so stop joking."

Yan Ao reached out and grabbed the little yellow duck flying around above his head.

Divine light flickered in his palm, suppressing Lu Ya's cruel nature.

"Alright." The little yellow duck put away the rows of sharp weapons in its mouth.

"Boom~~~"

The Desert Sea suddenly shook violently; the originally still sand and ocean boiled again, as if a violent natural disaster had erupted.

"It's time to leave here." Lu Ya flew up again. "This place is going to be violent."

"Hmm." Yan Ao nodded. As for Bowei, he returned to Zhao Xing's internal world; he had no right to speak at all.

? tTkдn? co

Bowei was deliberately ignored by Yan Ao and Lu Ya, but Zhao Xing gave Bowei respect.

In the internal world, Zhao Xing's incarnation bowed and saluted Bowei: "Many thanks, Elder, for bestowing the method; I was able to refine the Nine Marshes God."

Bowei asked curiously: "Even with the 'Golden Cicada True Form Double Body' I taught you, it is very difficult for you to refine the divine-level Hou Bian Method. How did you refine it so quickly?"

Zhao Xing knew Bowei was asking about his feelings during cultivation.

"Elder, I have a divine-level cultivation method of the Heaven-Time School, named 【Great Sun Burning Sea】."

"You taught me to use Yuanji Mountain to suppress the True Form; in fact, I also used the Great Sun Burning Sea and my internal world to suppress it together."

"That's why when I tried to break through, the True Form was very stable, and I could cut off the second body time and time again."

Bowei nodded. If the cultivation of the double body could work, then re-condensing it would only cost some blood-qi-type treasures.

Zhao Xing's internal world had plenty of such supplements.

However, Bowei still had some doubts: "Even if the True Form is stable, it only guarantees your safety; it doesn't help your comprehension."

No matter how safe it is, it only guarantees safety; it doesn't improve comprehension.

"It's the Great Sun Sea." Zhao Xing said, "My Heaven-Time School cultivation method."

"Before the polar light was about to dissipate, I thought of absorbing the polar light with the Great Sun Sea, and then reflecting the divine image of the Nine Marshes God."

Bowei suddenly realized: "So that's it. You directly absorbed the divine image into the Burning Sea, and then the Golden Cicada outer form performed the Hou Bian Method, which naturally reduced a layer of obstruction."

Before absorption, the Nine Marshes God image was outside; after absorption, it appeared directly inside the holy body.

The difficulty of breaking through this barrier was reduced.

"The Heaven-Time magic spell is indeed more suitable to be supported by the Heaven-Time cultivation method."

Bowei understood. If Zhao Xing didn't have the Great Sun Sea cultivation method, or if the Heaven-Time School cultivation method was slightly inferior, then within the limited time, it would be very difficult for him to master the Nine Marshes God Hou Bian Method.

Bowei didn't know this cultivation method, and it wasn't in the Profound Spirit Treasury either.

Divine-level Heaven-Time cultivation methods are all precious treasures of the Evil God camp. Even someone in a high position like the Immeasurable True God obtained them by accident.

They were not taken from the treasury of one's own camp and given to Zhao Xing.

"How do you feel after transforming?" Bowei continued to ask.

"Compared to driving the five-element origin and void origin before, it's a world of difference when transforming!"

"It's a pity that I can only last for thirty-one Immeasurable Times." Zhao Xing sighed.

The time was too short, only thirty-one Immeasurable Times.

"Thirty-one Immeasurable Times? That's already very long; at the divine realm level, it's enough for hundreds of moves." Bowei said.

Zhao Xing nodded and recalled: "After transforming, there was a feeling of emptiness."

"And I found that performing this secret art also produces changes in strength depending on the environment and location. Why would the internal cultivation of the Hou Bian Method have such a situation?"

"It's very normal." Bowei explained: "You don't have divine power yourself; performing the Hou Bian Method is borrowing the origin from the universe. Naturally, the universe origin distributed in the environment you are in is stronger, and your state is more vigorous. If the origin is weak, then your combat power and duration will also be weaker."

"You performed it in the Desert Sea. The Desert Sea is originally close to the Desolate Domain, and there isn't even a decent sun star, and the void origin is also relatively weak, so you could only last for thirty-one Immeasurable Times."

"Does Elder Bowei know what level one needs to reach to become a Fortune Zizai God?" Zhao Xing divided a trace of his consciousness to talk to Bowei in his internal world.

"A Fortune Zizai God only needs to reach the 25th rank, but this is only a prerequisite." Bowei said, "To become a Fortune Zizai God, one also needs the Fortune Refining Method."

"Without the Fortune Divine Method, even if one keeps growing, one cannot be called a Fortune Zizai God."

"If one does not become a Fortune Zizai God, one's own inherent fortune has a limit of the 31st rank. Even if one has a fortuitous encounter and briefly breaks through the 31st rank limit, one will eventually fall back down."

Bowei pondered: "It is rumored that becoming a god at the 25th rank of fortune makes one a Zizai God, and refining at the 31st rank makes one a True God, unaffected by tribulations. However, this method has already been lost."

Zhao Xing: "Elder is learned, do you not know the Fortune Divine Method?"

"The more one knows, the less one knows." Bowei mocked himself: "When I first broke through to become a god, I thought I knew all the mysteries of the universe, but later I discovered that my knowledge was still a drop in the ocean compared to the mysteries of the entire universe."

While they were chatting, the Wanhe Sovereign and the three envoys of the Demon God Palace came to thank Zhao Xing.

"Many thanks to Si Nong Zhao for bestowing blessings on the geniuses of our clan."

"Yes, many thanks to Si Nong Zhao, the changes this time are too obvious."

"In the past, there were no clansmen who underwent a rebirth all at once."

"Si Nong Zhao is worthy of being the youngest Mountain Head."

The four demon clan demigods all praised him.

This was not the first time the Wanhe Demon Kingdom had experienced the opening of Mount Liuyi to receive auspiciousness.

It was also a Mountain Head opening the mountain to receive auspiciousness, but the benefits Wei Zizhan gave them back then were far inferior to Zhao Xing's.

"This is not my credit, but the credit of the previous Mountain Head, my Senior Brother Venerable Wei Zizhan." Zhao Xing said: "If he had not sealed the mountain and set its name for ten epochs, there would not be such great fortune today."

"Si Nong Zhao is right." The four demon clan demigods all echoed. Although they said so, in their hearts, they all felt that Zhao Xing was much stronger than Wei Zizhan.

Because the Mountain Head before Wei Zizhan had also sealed the mountain for about the same amount of time, so why was it that when it came to Wei Zizhan, he needed to absorb so much fortune himself, leaving so little for the demon clan?

It was just because he was weaker than Zhao Xing!

Therefore, the evaluation of the four demon clan demigods for the new Mountain Head was naturally higher than that of Wei Zizhan.

"Wanhe Sovereign, three Divine Envoys, I would like to go to the Desert Sea after the mountain sealing ends; I wonder if I may go and take a look?"

"Desert Sea? Of course you can go!" The Wanhe Sovereign and the three Divine Envoys looked at each other and immediately agreed readily.

The Desert Sea was the birthplace of the Nine Marshes God, but who knew how many years had passed since then; it had already lost its former divine charm and was now just an ordinary divine ruin.

If he had said he wanted to visit the ancestral land of the Demon God Palace, they probably would not have agreed so readily, but they certainly would not refuse Zhao Xing's request.

"Many thanks to you all."

Zhao Xing cupped his hands, and after ending the conversation, he quickly entered the next step.

Harvesting Mountain Essence.

This stage was relatively secretive.

Zhao Xing would act alone, searching for the spirit body of the Mountain Essence within Mount Liuyi.

"According to convention, the Mountain Head of the Primeval Hill can only take away one Mountain Essence spirit body from here."

"One chance, if you want to catch one, you have to catch a big one."

Zhao Xing held the divine artifact and escaped into Mount Liuyi.

Two months later, he returned and came back to the valley.

When he returned, he was accompanied by a round Mountain Essence with six light wings.

The Mountain Essence looked like a jellyfish with wings inserted; with every breath, Mount Liuyi would emit a pleasant feather sound.

"Hmm? He actually caught a Six-Winged Mountain Essence?" The Wanhe Sovereign was immediately envious.

"Last time Wei Zizhan came, he only caught a Five-Winged Mountain Essence; this Si Nong Zhao has great ability."

The space within Mount Liuyi was also very large; the Mountain Essence had spirit and hid in the vast mountains, being extremely good at hiding.

Even Five-Winged Mountain Essences were rarely seen, let alone the strongest Six-Winged Mountain Essence.

"Congratulations to Si Nong Zhao." The Wanhe Sovereign and the three Divine Envoys congratulated him in unison.

"Congratulations to the Mountain Head!" The people of the Primeval Hill also offered their congratulations in unison.

A Six-Winged Mountain Essence can be raised in the internal Extreme Land to coexist.

At critical moments, it can help a Si Nong survive a True Spirit Tribulation.

Of course, at the level of Zhao Xing, a fifteen-tribulation demigod, ordinary Mountain Essences were already useless; only a Six-Winged Mountain Essence could produce an effect.

"Thanks to your blessings." Zhao Xing cupped his hands modestly. This was the demon clan's territory, and being able to obtain the Six-Winged Mountain Essence was indeed something to thank the demon clan for.

After spending a few days taking the Mountain Essence into his body to coexist,

This trip to Mount Liuyi had reached its final step: sealing the mountain and setting its name.

Zhao Xing ranked Mount Liuyi at the 14th place among the Known Mountains, raising it by three places, restoring it to the ranking during the period of the Mountain Head before the last.

The ranking of a great mountain is a kind of glory; this increase in ranking was not considered large, but the Wanhe demon clan was already very satisfied.

Third Epoch of the Desolate Domain, 205th Boundary Star Year, Desert Sea.

After the mountain sealing ended, Zhao Xing was invited to be a guest in the capital of the Wanhe Demon Kingdom.

In reality, he had come to the 【Desert Sea】 region of the Wanhe Demon Kingdom.

The Desert Sea was a star region full of sand and oceans; countless quicksands flew out of the ocean like comets, dragging long tails, flowing in the starry sky with uncertain trajectories, and finally falling into a primitive ocean.

In the Desert Sea region, many precious mineral stars and star lands would form, but life boundary stars and star lands were very few.

Even the demon clans that could endure harsh environments rarely settled and lived in the Desert Sea region.

Except for the demon clans and mechanical puppets mining, only one ten-thousandth of the Desert Sea region had demon clan residents.

Zhao Xing sat cross-legged on a meteorite, moving forward along a starry sand river.

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

The Heaven-Changing Divine Needles were expelled from his body, and the purple hair on Zhao Xing's body gradually faded, turning into a human state.

"The fifth layer of the Nine Marshes God, finally achieved!"

Spending more than twenty years, Zhao Xing had cultivated from the fourth layer of the Nine Marshes God Mountain-Changing Method to the fifth layer.

"The nine talents of the Nine Marshes God: Breaking Void Claw, Burning World Divine Eye, Heaven-Ruining Five Viscera, Longevity Wheel, Ten Thousand Tribulations Golden Marrow, Profound Underworld Transformation, Earth Boundary Divine Travel, Thunder Body, Instant Eternity; now after my Mountain-Changing, I also possess the fifth one, Ten Thousand Tribulations Golden Marrow."

"However, the talents of the Nine Marshes God are of no use to a human body." Zhao Xing felt some regret.

As a natural god, any talent secret method of the Nine Marshes God is divine-level; for example, Ten Thousand Tribulations Golden Marrow, which claims to be able to experience ten thousand tribulations without dying?

Of course, there is a lot of exaggeration in this; who can experience ten thousand tribulations without dying?

However, after transforming, Zhao Xing felt that it was very easy to survive the sixteenth tribulation.

"The sixteenth tribulation can be survived using the fifth layer of the Nine Marshes God Mountain-Changing Method; after all, my soul core is still human, and in essence, it is still me undergoing the tribulation." Zhao Xing had expectations in his heart. "With the Six-Winged Mountain Essence, I can survive another tribulation, and I will soon reach the level of a seventeen-tribulation demigod."

"If I collect the Mountain Essences of the top ten levels of mountains in the Profound Spirit Star Region, it should help me survive another tribulation, which would be eighteen."

An eighteen-tribulation demigod, that was the level Bowei was at during his demigod period.

"The more tribulations a demigod survives, the stronger their combat power will be after becoming a Zizai God."

"Back then, Bowei became a Zizai God as an eighteen-tribulation Venerable, and he could disregard the Palace Master of Tuning; he even alarmed the Great Emperor to personally go and capture Bowei."

Zhao Xing still remembered the scene the Profound Spirit History Book had shown him; after Bowei became a god, if the Great Emperor had not appeared, the Palace Master of Tuning alone could not have made Bowei surrender.

"Bowei, who became a god at eighteen tribulations, became a Divine General not long after."

"Gu Luohe, who became a god at twenty-two tribulations, entered the Divine General level in one step."

Cultivating the origin to become a god, the more one accumulates during the demigod period, the stronger one naturally is.

Bowei and Gu Luohe were both children of the version, and they were incredibly strong after becoming gods.

"If all 200 of my true spirits experience eighteen tribulations, then after becoming a Zizai God, I will at least have Divine General-level combat power."

The deadline for the protectors would end after he became a Zizai God.

"If I have Divine General combat power, even if Yan Ao and Lu Ya leave in the future, I will have the capital to stand and protect myself."

"As for whether I can reach the height of Gu Luohe, it depends on the Nine Marshes God Mountain-Changing Method." Zhao Xing thought to himself. "Using the Benwo Divine Method to survive the True Spirit Tribulation is relatively difficult at present."

The five great divine methods of Benwo are fine when facing tangible tribulations, but if they encounter intangible tribulations, they are very difficult to defend against.

Cangwu World Method, Void Divine Seed, One Boundary Divine Splendor, Hunyuan Divine Base, Benwo Divine Sacrifice.

Among the five great divine methods, the only ones that can be considered attack methods are the Cangwu World Method, Void Divine Seed, and Benwo Divine Sacrifice.

However, the Benwo Divine Sacrifice is ineffective against True Spirit Tribulations; this parasitic method cannot parasitize heavenly tribulations.

And the Void Divine Seed is a variant method; it first requires a certain release time and needs to be used in conjunction with the Cangwu World Method to be effective.

In the ultimate pursuit of surviving tribulations, the Nine Marshes God Mountain-Changing Method of a natural god is still better to use.

"If I can reach the level of Gu Luohe, after I become a god, my divine power foundation will be thick, and it will definitely support my three-faction secret methods to advance side by side." Zhao Xing thought to himself. Cultivating three factions also has a trouble, which is that the magic power is not enough. Now the divine methods he has learned consume too much.

If it were used to perform the Benwo Divine Method, it would drain him dry, and he could only perform it once. Overlapping Boundary Mountain, Space-Time Earth-Communication Method, Earth Palace Method, etc., would be completely impossible to perform.

Everyone knows that cultivating three factions is stronger, so why are there so few who cultivate three factions? It is mainly because cultivating three factions is filled with difficulties.

"Quack, Zhao Xing, I have found another familiar place." Palace Master Lu Ya flapped his wings, "Quick, go over there and take a look."

"Okay, Senior."

Zhao Xing immediately flew in the direction pointed out by Palace Master Lu Ya.

Lu Ya had once been to the old lair of the Nine Marshes God; even though it had become unrecognizable now, any place Lu Ya could point out would have some traces left behind by the Nine Marshes God.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred years had passed.

In the vast Desert Sea, Zhao Xing passed through a sand river.

"Splash~"

Suddenly, a wave swept over. This light was too fast, and Zhao Xing could not react in time, but Yan Ao immediately swallowed Zhao Xing in one gulp.

"Whoosh~"

The next moment, the light swept past the meteorite where Zhao Xing had been, the entire meteorite shattered directly, and the rushing sand river was also suddenly shattered, turning into a finer state of examples.

"Quack!"

Palace Master Lu Ya landed extremely quickly on Yan Ao's shoulder; he had even lost a feather!

Zhao Xing, in Yan Ao's belly, also felt a heart-palpitating fluctuation after the fact.

Even after being swallowed by Yan Ao, he still felt somewhat unsafe.

"Two Seniors, what did you discover?"

Yan Ao frowned, scanning the surrounding starry sky. At this moment, after being swept by the light fluctuation, the entire starry sky had changed.

"We have entered an independent space-time; this is completely isolated from the Desert Sea."

Swish~

The next moment, after Yan Ao confirmed it was safe, he released Zhao Xing again.

Zhao Xing glanced at the panel and found that the coordinates displayed on the panel were still in the Desert Sea, but there was a more specific domain coordinate.

【You have entered a grain of sand in the Desert Sea; the aurora reflects the former Nine Marshes Divine Domain.】

"A grain of sand, preserving the aurora? And this wisp of aurora reflects the former Nine Marshes Divine Domain?" Zhao Xing was stunned.

According to the historical records of the Light-Chasing Society's exploration of auroras, powerful polar star radiance can reflect the existence of divine realms, giving birth to some "aurora reflection spaces," preserving extremely real and precious historical images.

Many star history scholars, after discovering these auroras, would see their cultivation advance by leaps and bounds, and could even condense powerful original records and transmission boundary clones because of this.

Zhao Xing derived information from the coordinates, but he still released Bowei.

His opinion could not be used as a reference; if Yan Ao and Lu Ya felt that this place was too dangerous, they might break through space and take him away.

Releasing Bowei to identify it, this divine-level scholar did not disappoint; just by taking one look, Bowei reached a conclusion before Yan Ao could act.

"Aurora reflection space-time, just like a mirage preserving historical scenes."

"However, it is unknown which period of space-time scene it specifically preserves."

"If one can see the true body of the Nine Marshes God, it will be beneficial to Zhao Xing's cultivation."

"How dangerous is it?" Yan Ao only cared about whether there was danger and whether it belonged to the kind that Zhao Xing could withstand.

Bowei pinched his fingers to calculate, then said: "The aurora is mixed with time divine power, and it folds back once every seventy-two hours in this space-time."

"As long as one collects it before the time divine power sweeps through, it is safe."

Zhao Xing looked at Yan Ao with eager eyes. The decision-making power of the protector divine generals also had levels of superiority. Bowei only had the right to suggest, while Yan Ao, as the first protector divine general, was fully responsible for Zhao Xing's safety.

If he felt that this place was dangerous and had to leave, then Palace Master Lu Ya, as the divine general most skilled at running away, would definitely execute it.

Yan Ao ignored Zhao Xing's expectant gaze, pondered for a moment, and nodded:

"Let's take a look first, and make a decision after the next aurora fold-back."

If that can't be done, then go and destroy Zhao Xing's Place of Proving the Dao. If even the Place of Proving the Dao can't be destroyed, then try to defeat his legal theory and destroy his Dao heart.

Destroying the Dao heart can also be achieved by killing the target's relatives, friends, or life-and-death partners—assuming the target cares about these things.

"Zhao Xing, once you've finished your journey, I will take you back."

"Do you plan to return to the Empire, or go directly to the Reincarnation Divine Palace? Your contribution points are 150 million, which is enough to exchange for space-time travel to go to certain places in historical space-time that are uniquely endowed by nature to become a God of Free Will." Palace Master Lu Ya asked.

Previously, because of the Epoch Worm warning, Zhao Xing had obtained 150 million contribution points. These contribution points had long been credited, but Zhao Xing had never exchanged them.

Because the safe space-time channel is in the Reincarnation Divine Palace, space-time travel is generally carried out within the Reincarnation Divine Palace.

"I'll go back to the Empire first." Zhao Xing was not in a hurry; he still had many things to deal with.

"Quack~ Take off~" Lu Ya flapped his wings, and the surrounding space-time immediately began to change.

The scene retreated rapidly, and soon only abstract lines and membranes could be seen.

Even though he was in the Tianze Star Region, it only took half a day to fly back through the Blue Butterfly Dao.

"It's good to have cleared the Siyue Desolate Domain. In the past, I had to spend a few years to fly across domains, but now it only takes half a day. Zhao Xing, you have arrived at Shenchen Pass."

After Lu Ya finished speaking, he jumped from his shoulder onto Zhao Xing's head and lay down to sleep.

As for Yan Ao, he still stood silently on the side, invisible.

After returning, the first thing Zhao Xing did was to contact Ji Che.

"Big brother, have you returned from your journey?"

"Hmm, Fifth Brother, come to the Jiachen Pass of the Empire; I have a gift for you." Zhao Xing said.

"Alright." Ji Che hung up the communication and immediately began to travel from the Great Zhou to the Chi Star Empire through the teleportation array.

"Big brother, what gift are you giving me?" As soon as they met, Ji Che asked curiously.

"Look." Zhao Xing took out the divine bone of the Snow Rui Luck God.

"Hmm?" Although Ji Che hadn't seen it, he felt its uniqueness after one look. "Big brother, is this a divine object of the luck type?!"

"Not bad." Zhao Xing nodded. "Che, your realm has been unable to break through for a long time. Ji Si and I are already demigods, but you are still stuck at the Emperor level. This is not your reason, but a flaw in the luck cultivation system in this era."

"I give you this gift, perhaps it can help you break the bottleneck."

"Big brother, this divine object is also beneficial to you; I cannot take it." Ji Che was very moved, but still refused.

"After I sealed the mountain and set its name, its demand for me is no longer great." Zhao Xing stuffed the thing into Ji Che's hand. "Take it and comprehend it well. In the future, Ji Si and I may not have time to take care of the Great Zhou; everything will depend on you."

Ji Si was also traveling the world. His public clone was leading the war in the Tianze Star Region, but Zhao Xing didn't know where he had specifically gone. It was obvious that he was also a bit overwhelmed.

The Great Zhou needed new strong people. Among the candidates, there were only Liu Liu Tianning and Ji Che. Although Yun Tiandao had become a demigod, he was not within the system of the Great Zhou, and he was currently sent by the Heaven-Ji Thunder Mother to perform a task, and his whereabouts were unknown. The last contact was two thousand years ago.

"Alright, big brother, I will not let you down." Ji Che held the divine bone tightly in his hand.

"Che, you still have to be low-key." Zhao Xing also knew some things Ji Che had done over the years. "The situation is turbulent now; stability is the priority. You must not play too much. If you try to absorb people from the Evil God camp to expand your strength, you must hold the bottom line and grasp the measure. Otherwise, before you rise, the gods of the Profound Spirit will not be able to tolerate you."

"Big brother, I have a measure." Ji Che nodded.

After sending Ji Che away, the second thing Zhao Xing did was to contact Gu Luohe.

However, after entering the Original Boundary, he found that the gate of the Original City was closed, and Gu Luohe was not seeing guests.

"Senior Gu is in seclusion." Venerable Five Poisons arrived at the first moment. "Before going into seclusion, he once instructed me that if you, disciple, came to look for him, I should give this box to you."

Venerable Five Poisons handed a square mechanical box with light blue patterns to Zhao Xing.

"Give it to me? Teacher, what is inside?" Zhao Xing asked.

"I don't know." Venerable Five Poisons shook his head.

"How to open it?"

"Senior Gu didn't say, only that you would naturally know when it should be opened."

Zhao Xing remembered the question Gu Luohe had once asked him, and there was some speculation in his heart. He collected it carefully.

"Teacher, how is Senior Zuo?"

"Not having a very good time."

"We old people have all become demigods because of you. Even old Bi, who is so weak, has become a demigod, but Zuo Zuo Qiyu is still an Emperor. Do you think he can be happy?"

"I hope your master can find a solution."

Five Poisons shook his head and walked away.

Afterward, Zhao Xing reported the situation of his journey to Divine General Lan Chuan of the Primeval Hill.

Divine General Lan Chuan routinely asked about Zhao Xing's cultivation progress and then circled the topic to Bowei.

"He has been acting with you for five thousand years; how do you feel?"

Zhao Xing knew that Divine General Lan Chuan was asking whether Bowei could be trusted. This concerned whether Bowei would continue to be locked up or be given a certain degree of freedom.

"I think Elder Bowei can continue to follow me; I have no intention of changing my Protector."

Just as Zhao Xing and Divine General Lan Chuan were chatting, Zhao Xing's heart moved suddenly.

He immediately dissolved his Earth Vein Dharma Body and ended the Earthly Communication magic spell.

Immediately afterward, his true body at the Jiachen Pass of the Empire performed the Self Divine Sacrifice and sensed carefully.

"Zhao Xing~"

"Zhao Xing~"

He originally thought this was another believer like He Chengzi calling him.

But soon Zhao Xing felt something was wrong.

Because this was newly produced incense.

The voice was a bit old, and a bit familiar in its strangeness.

"Zhao Xing~ Zhao Xing~"

Under Zhao Xing's careful listening, the voice became clearer and clearer.

A moment later, a look of doubt appeared in Zhao Xing's eyes.

"This, this is Old Qing's voice? Hmm? He is offering True Spirit Incense to me?"

But hadn't Old Qing already left this space-time?

Zhao Xing was very suspicious. He began to suspect that this was a ghost made by some Evil God, so he immediately extinguished this thought and sternly rejected the other party's incense tribute.

"Puff, huff~" The small flame was about to extinguish.

"Yo? Quite tenacious." Zhao Xing continued to drive it away.

However, this wisp of incense was like water without a source, not existing in the present. No matter how Zhao Xing blew, he couldn't extinguish it.

Extinguishing and reigniting one after another, Zhao Xing was also a bit suspicious.

"If it's really an Evil God, it wouldn't be so weak. Could it really be Old Qing?"

"He contacted me—is there news again?"

For the sake of caution, Zhao Xing still didn't immediately accept this incense that crossed space-time, but released Bowei, and then invited Divine General Yan Wu onto the ship.

He arranged it himself, inserting the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle into his body, ready to trigger the Hou Bian Method at any time.

Fully prepared, Zhao Xing then accepted this wisp of True Spirit Incense.

"Yu~"

In the Life Palace, the incense manifested, presenting the shape of an elm tree.

"Sieve, sieve~" The elm tree shook, making a sound.

"Zhao Xing, can you hear me? It's me, Qing Qing Yu Zi!"

Why is he like this? Zhao Xing felt it was a bit fresh.

"I can hear you, Divine Venerable Qing Yu. Didn't you leave the Desolate Domain Epoch?"

The elm tree was obviously silent for a while: "This matter is a long story—what I called was not you, but you after becoming a god—now the space-time incense technique has drifted to the wrong year."

"Sigh, I'm done for; I shouldn't have taken this risk—"

The elm tree's leaves drooped, and its tone was also a bit desperate, as if it were about to die.

"What I called was not me, but me after becoming a god?" Zhao Xing was stunned; his brain couldn't turn around for a moment.

"How come it sounds like there are many stories in this? Could it be that I met Old Qing in the future?"

"What exactly is going on?" Zhao Xing couldn't help but ask.

"What's going on? I'm about to disappear; that's what's going on." The elm tree let out a sigh.
