Chapter 566: Karmic Divine Art and Early Warning!

~21 min read 4,192 words

Independent space-time, God Machine City.

On the Zhongshan Throne, the Boundless True God suddenly found several red hairs growing on his arm.

The hairs were like insects, twisting constantly. The Boundless True God immediately raised his eyebrows, staring at these three red hairs. The hairs emitted a faint red light, which represented an evil karma.

"A Su Long, Wu Zhen, Jianling—who are these?"

"Oh, so that's how it is. They suffered a setback, and the Divine General behind them followed the karma to investigate, calculating who Han Bing is—"

"Hmph, overestimating their own capabilities."

The Boundless True God slapped down casually.

"Slap!"

The three red hairs broke.

Powerful divine power was transmitted through karma, crossing countless space-times, and descended on the three Divine Generals behind A Su Long, Jianling, and Wu Zhen.

"Boom rumble~"

The three Free Divine Generals immediately changed color, and the divine statues in countless temples kept breaking, in order to resist the counterattack descending from the hidden space-time.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!!"

I don't know how many temples exploded, and the three Divine Generals finally successfully resolved it.

"Little scattered god, rootless and duckweed-like, also dares to find trouble with me."

The voice of the Boundless True God was mechanical and cold, echoing in the different space-times of the three Divine Generals.

The Divine Generals behind A Su Long, Jianling, and Wu Zhen were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.

They were just trying to see whose subordinate Venerable Han Bing was, so they followed the karma to investigate, and found the Boundless True God.

Unexpectedly, the other party was so unreasonable and started fighting directly, beating them up instead.

"The karma of others, all return to my body."

This is one of the protective measures prepared by the Boundless True God for Zhao Xing.

He used the Karmic Divine Curse, through the offering relationship with Zhao Xing, to pass the karmic burden of Zhao Xing after traveling through space-time to himself.

The Karmic Divine Curse is built on the framework of the Space-Time River and is very particular.

Assuming Zhao Xing encounters "equal-level" karma, it will not be triggered. Equal-level is just a demigod. Such karma, whether good or bad, is better left for Zhao Xing to bear himself.

Assuming Zhao Xing encounters "god-level" karma, especially one that intends to track Zhao Xing's roots, then this karmic line will eventually connect to the Boundless True God.

The Boundless True God has too many clones and too many affairs to handle, so to remind himself, once such a situation appears, hairs will grow on his body.

Red hairs are evil karma and evil fruits, and golden hairs are good karma and good fruits, which are great fortuitous encounters—this is also worth being vigilant about.

The gods behind A Su Long, Wu Zhen, and Jianling came aggressively, which belonged to coming to inquire about crimes.

But the Boundless True God saw that the three red hairs were very thin and small, proving that the other party was not strong, and he had never heard of the other party's honorable name, proving that the other party belonged to a "little hairy god" without any big backing.

Therefore, he slapped them back directly.

The three Divine Generals were relatively weak. After being beaten by the Boundless True God, they didn't even know who hit them.

They could only swallow the bitter fruit and didn't dare to spy again, letting this karmic line break, and never dared to pursue it again.

The Boundless True God didn't take it to heart either and continued to meditate on the Clock Throne.

Zhao Xing didn't know that after A Su Long and the others went out, the god-level behind them was calculating him, and then was beaten up by the Boundless True God.

He informed Bowei of the identity change. In the world within his body, Bowei walked out of the World-Crossing Pavilion with a strange expression.

"Your identity changed to Penglai Mountain Protector?"

Today, Bowei changed into another set of attire, which was a martial artist's outfit.

Bowei, who stayed in the world within his body, seemed very bored, playing with professional costume changes every day.

"Are you an illegitimate child of the Moon Palace Master? You couldn't be a descendant of the Reincarnation Hall Master, could you?"

"Why does Elder say that?" Zhao Xing was also a bit startled. "Is there anything wrong?"

"Of course it's wrong," Bowei sneered: "Bilo died, Bifang was seriously injured. As the initiator, you have changed the direction of the fortuitous encounter event."

"Logically speaking, your identity change would all change to a lower level. In the plot time, such a big thing happened to the Divine Mountain, you, this Mountain Patrol Official, will definitely be removed."

"It would be normal for you to become a handyman or an ordinary disciple of Penglai Mountain."

"Protector, that is equivalent to a horizontal transfer. It must be that the Xuanling History Book rubbing is protecting you."

"The Xuanling History Book rubbing also has high and low levels. If it wasn't the Moon Palace Master who gave you special treatment, then it was the Reincarnation Hall Master who let you go through the back door."

"There is such a thing?" Zhao Xing took out the history book rubbing and didn't find anything special.

He hadn't even seen the Moon Palace Master and the Reincarnation Hall Master, and Lu Ya hadn't specifically explained anything.

Zhao Xing simply didn't think so much: "Then is this change good or bad?"

Bowei said: "This is of course a good thing. The Penglai inheritance belongs to another major fortuitous encounter event. If you start climbing from a handyman, it would be too inconvenient, and even if you could climb up, it would be very unreasonable."

"Where are there so many stories of grassroots counterattacks?"

"Changing to a Protector of Penglai Mountain, even if you perform slightly outstandingly, there won't be anything wrong. This is the characteristic of inheritance-type events."

"As long as it's not a bad thing." Zhao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

The Penglai inheritance was originally one of his goals, and this event occurred in the 354th year of the second solar year.

Now it is the 578th year of the first solar year, and there are still more than seven hundred years before it begins.

The content of the event is also very simple: that Penglai Divine General feels that his deadline is approaching and will choose a predestined person to inherit.

Finally, Zhao Xing asked casually: "Elder, are you researching any martial arts recently?"

Bowei didn't answer and walked straight into the courtyard.

"Last time it was a Fate Master outfit, today it's a martial artist outfit. I don't know what Bowei is researching again, and whether there are any results."

"It's a pity I didn't arrive today."

Getting knowledge from Bowei for free is one of Zhao Xing's joys.

"Golden Cicada True Form: Second Body" was traded for, but "Thousand Silk Fruit" was purely given for free.

There were also some legal theories, such as the "Theory of Space-Time" of the True History Party, which opened Zhao Xing's eyes and gave him a deeper understanding of this world.

"Chatting with people from different space-times like Chu Ji, Liu Qingci, and Xu Huai, I found that there are no god-level scholars in their era either. There are historians, but they cannot be considered scholars in the true sense."

"Bowei's god-level scholar, its gold content is very valuable in multiple space-times."

"The high-level human race is willing to let me use it, letting Bowei become my protector. They really think highly of me."

Feeling grateful to the high-level officials of the Desolate Domain camp, Zhao Xing's consciousness left the world within his body.

Identity change is a bit like predicting in advance, but "history" has not yet changed. He is still staying in the Mountain Patrol Divine Office now.

Zhao Xing counted the harvest of the three fortuitous encounter events.

"First fortuitous encounter event, 9,734 units of Earth God Crystals, one Heaven-Severing Divine Blade, one 'Divine Pulse Sailing Boat' of the Beast God Tibu."

"Second fortuitous encounter event, 15,748 units of Earth God Crystals, no other harvest."

"Third fortuitous encounter event, 38,232 units of Earth God Crystals, identity changed."

"A total of 63,714 units of Earth God Crystals, two divine artifacts."

"If all exchanged for contribution points, it would be about 64.7 billion. However, at least 80% of these Earth God Crystals must be kept for my own use." Zhao Xing calculated that the world within his body needed to transform, the Keyang Divine Tree needed to be raised, and the Extreme Land needed to be expanded. The foundation of the Free God's origin is naturally the stronger the better.

"Former Mountain Patrol Divine Office, main official Han Bing, deputy official Xu Huai, deputy official Yu Sheng, deputy official Venerable Zhuo Hua, listen to the order!"

"You four are all transferred to Penglai Mountain to take on new duties."

In the Mountain Patrol Divine Office, the fire pond was burning, and four divine edicts were spat out.

They flew toward Zhao Xing, Liu Qingci, Xu Huai, and Venerable Zhuo Hua.

In the winter of the 578th year of the first solar year, due to the death of the Free God Bilo, Wu Yue Nan, the Divine General of the Mountain Patrol Divine Office, disbanded the Mountain Patrol Divine Office of the Yas Sea Area.

The few who remained obtained new appointments.

Zhao Xing and Liu Qingci's four people were all sent to Penglai Mountain,

while the other deputy officials went to other sea areas and mountain regions.

Based on karma points, even in the same place, the newly appointed positions were different.

Zhao Xing was the 【Five Spirit Peak Protector】 of Penglai Mountain, Liu Qingci was the 【West Altar Master】, and Venerable Zhuo Hua was the 【Six Service Deputy Official】.

"Five Spirit Peak Protector, isn't this a fat job?" Liu Qingci and Venerable Zhuo Hua looked at Zhao Xing in shock.

To be honest, this transfer order had a sense of punishment. Although it was called a horizontal transfer, looking at the new duties, they were far less comfortable than the previous Mountain Patrol Official.

According to the positions of the Primordial Hill at this time, the Earth Altar Master was usually responsible for the Earth Altar cultivation and sacrificial preparation work in the process of opening and closing the mountain.

There were four altars in the southeast, northwest, with the southeast being respected and the north altar being second. The west altar was simply a decoration, because now no one went to the west to sacrifice.

They could only do some physical work and became the one with the lowest status among the four altar officials.

As for the 【Six Service Deputy Official】, it was even worse; it was just doing chores.

"The Six Service Office has to cooperate with digging tunnels, feeding spirit beasts, opening mines, clearing earth palace pulses—that would be fine, but I'm not the head of the Six Service Office, just a deputy official. I'm really convinced."

Venerable Venerable Zhuo Hua looked at the new appointment and couldn't help but be dejected.

Compared with Zhao Xing's Spirit Peak Protector, this was not at the same level at all.

The Spirit Peak Protector could freely enter and exit the blessed land of the Spirit Mountain, manage mountain spirits and wild monsters, disciples and followers, eat the essence of heaven and earth, and observe the wonder of ten thousand peaks.

This is a position that is very easy to encounter fortuitous encounters!

Comparing people with people is really infuriating.

"Xu Huai, what is your identity?" Venerable Zhuo Hua looked at Xu Huai, who had been silent.

Xu Huai took the edict and slapped it on Venerable Zhuo Hua with an expressionless face: "See for yourself."

"Hundred Stone Peak, Mojing Protector. What kind of position is this?" Venerable Zhuo Hua didn't react for a while.

"Puff~" But Liu Qingci laughed out loud. She realized this action was inappropriate, so she bowed to Xu Huai: "Sorry, Brother Xu Huai, I really couldn't hold it back."

Zhao Xing also couldn't help but laugh. The so-called Mojing Protector, in name, is a protector, but in reality, it is watching the mine cave.

This is like the Divine Emperor dividing the world's water areas. Others are Dragon Kings of the East Sea, Dragon Kings of the West Sea, but when it comes to Xu Huai, he became a Well Long Wang.

Originally, the position of Well Long Wang was not low, but limiting the area was fatal.

Hundred Stone Peak Mojing Protector is equivalent to Xu Huai only being able to guard this piece and not being able to string wells at will.

"Brother Xu Huai, your protector, is really—" Venerable Venerable Zhuo Hua choked out a sentence: "Better not to be one."

It was not even as good as the Six Service Deputy Official, at least Venerable Venerable Zhuo Hua's scope of action was wider.

"Hoo—" Xu Huai sighed.

He, a dignified Heavenly Time Faction Agricultural Official, a man who had been on the White Burning Era Genius List, was actually sent to watch the Mojing!

This damn place really has no reason to talk about.

However, complaining is complaining. If you want to stay, you must follow the rules.

Zhao Xing, Xu Huai, Liu Qingci, and Venerable Zhuo Hua set off immediately, leaving the Yas Sea Area in the 578th year of the first solar year and arriving at Penglai Mountain in year 563.

"There are still more than seven hundred years before the fortuitous encounter event."

"I don't know how many people will come to participate."

If there was a possibility of cooperation in the Yas Sea Area.

Then the Penglai Divine General inheritance event could only be obtained by one person. There was no possibility of cooperation with other descenders at all.

"There is no possibility of a win-win situation. Only one person can obtain the inheritance. All other descenders are enemies. This might even include god-level opponents."

Zhao Xing decided in his heart that for the next seven hundred years, he would stay in a spirit peak cave dwelling until the Penglai Divine General inheritance fortuitous encounter event was triggered before coming out of the mountain.

"Venerable Han Bing, I am Song Shan of the Blessed Land Office, responsible for the management of the cave dwellings of various peaks of the Spirit Mountain. You can choose any cave dwelling among the five spirit peaks." Song Shan wore green hemp dharma clothes, with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his wheat-colored forearms, looking very simple.

Zhao Xing looked at this person and found that he was also a descender, with a surface strength of Divine Emperor, but actually already a 9th-stage demigod.

"There are so many people squatting on the Penglai Divine General inheritance event. The first person I see here is actually a descender." Zhao Xing became more cautious.

He didn't look too much and chose a cave dwelling at random.

"Good, I'll choose this one. I don't like people serving me. I like to do everything myself, and there's no need to send any attendants or servants."

"Yes, no problem. I guarantee no one will come to disturb you."

"I'll introduce the cave dwelling to you first." Song Shan enthusiastically invited Zhao Xing into the cave dwelling to introduce it.

Zhao Xing saw that this person wouldn't leave, kept flattering him, and was full of expectations, and couldn't help but find it funny in his heart.

"This Song Shan is treating me as an event character to brush favorability, hoping that I will reward him with something."

But where is Master Zhao's wool so easy to get? Besides, he had plenty of "gold" on him, but no "small change," so it was not easy to reward him.

So he maintained an indifferent attitude, listened to Song Shan's chatter for a while, and started to drive him away.

Song Shan remained enthusiastic and left with a smile.

After moving away from the cave dwelling, he changed his face.

"Bah! Where did this poor ghost come from!"

"Flattered him for a long time, and he didn't even pull out a hair!"

"What a waste of my time."

Song Shan thought he could get some "fortuitous encounter" from Zhao Xing, but didn't expect to get nothing after a long time.

However, this wasn't the first time, so Song Shan didn't take it to heart, just silently labeled this Han Bing Protector as a poor ghost and stingy.

"If you want to squat on the Penglai Divine General inheritance fortuitous encounter, you must know what the Penglai Divine General's Dao is, and even study some of his hobbies. Only by being like-minded can you obtain his inheritance."

"If it's the opposite, even if you are a genius and strong, you won't get the Penglai Divine General's inheritance."

In the world within his body, Bowei was giving Zhao Xing a lecture. He was dressed as an Agricultural Official today, wearing the Sun Golden Feather dharma clothes often worn by old-school Heavenly Time Agricultural Officials.

"According to historical records, the Penglai Divine General mainly cultivated the Earth-Storing Path. He was not that kind of Agricultural Official who fights and kills," Bowei said: "He studied under the Earth-Storing Divine King. Before he joined the Universe Boat plan and defected, he was the best Agricultural Official at farming among the Divine Kings."

"The twelve-mountain pattern of the Spirit Domain era of the Primordial Hill was basically arranged according to the 'Earth-Storing Mountain and Sea Classic' of the Earth-Storing Divine King."

"After he defected, although the classics remained, the Earth-Storing Office of the Primordial Hill also gradually declined."

Zhao Xing felt some emotion. Super forces have also experienced different changes in different eras. The departure of the Earth-Storing Divine King and the Boat Mountain Divine King had a profound impact on the Primordial Hill.

Especially the Earth-Storing Divine King. Lacking his teaching, the geniuses of the Earth-Storing Office in the future always found it difficult to understand his scriptures, let alone reach his height.

If no one teaches and you learn by yourself, the speed will naturally be much slower, and you might even fail to break through. For example, the Life Earth Palace—if Lancuan Divine General hadn't taught it, he might not have been able to master it so quickly.

"As a disciple of the Earth-Storing Divine King, the Earthly Faction spells the Penglai Divine General knew were mainly Earth-Storing Law, followed by Chen Xuan Earth Law, Earth Palace Law, and Spirit Mountain Law."

"Growing up under the wings of the Earth-Storing Divine King, he almost didn't experience any battles, but he was very good at farming."

"As for what he personally liked, the official history in my memory only mentions that he 'likes to plant bamboo and likes to raise elephants'."

"He also had two nicknames. One was 'Sea Elephant God', and the other was 'Ning Bamboo Scholar'. The latter was self-proclaimed."

"The former is because he likes the Sea Elephant race, so he often turned into the appearance of the Sea Elephant race. Over time, the Sea Elephant race regarded him as a god, and he was happy to accept the title of Sea Elephant God."

Likes to plant bamboo, likes to raise sea elephants? Zhao Xing flipped through the information about the Penglai Divine General, feeling a bit fresh.

The sea of history is vast like smoke. If Bowei hadn't said it, Zhao Xing wouldn't have understood it so meticulously.

But now he had a direction.

"In the seven hundred years, you can learn more spells in this regard. I can't teach this; the unique spells of the Primordial Hill, I only know their names, not their methods."

"However, the Yuanji Mountain has them. It allows you to carry it through space-time, just so you have time to learn."

Zhao Xing nodded. As the Mountain Head of the Primordial Hill, the Yuanji Mountain he carried contained many secret spells of the Primordial Hill.

It's just that learning them is not that easy. First, there is no divine power of the Earthly Faction, and second, no one teaches, so it will be slower, or even impossible to get started.

Bowei knows what spells the Primordial Hill has, but he doesn't know the specific cultivation methods.

The Primordial Hill is also not afraid of the Yuanji Mountain being lost, because this divine artifact has a characteristic: no matter where it is lost, it will always return to the hands of the Primordial Hill.

With a direction, Zhao Xing began to enter a cultivation state.

A world core floated in the cave dwelling, while his physical body entered the world within his body.

He didn't study under Bowei's nose, but ran to the Yin-Yang star system where the Keyang Divine Tree was located.

"The Earth-Storing Law first recommends the 'Primordial Earth-Storing Classic'. I have learned the Reincarnation-level secret method, and Primordial Earth-Storing comes from this scripture."

"The spells I learned mainly act to activate dead earth pulses, making them glow with vitality. However, Primordial Earth-Storing does not only contain this one function."

"I rarely use this spell in ordinary times. I will study the 'Primordial Earth-Storing Classic' well in these seven hundred years."

Zhao Xing summoned a piece of land and divided it into 800,000 squares with a wave of his hand.

Each square exceeded one million square kilometers, and the combination of different earth pulses made the soil characteristics in each square different.

Zhao Xing cultivated the "Primordial Earth-Storing Classic" in these 800,000 squares.

The Primordial Earth-Storing Classic contains many spells, some of which are theories and laws, such as the Solar Year Soil Taking Method, Lunar Yin Soil Taking Method, and "Dao Manifestation Layer Transformation Soil", "Elephant Manifestation Divine Soil", etc.

Every three years, Zhao Xing would wake up once to perform his duties as a protector, striving to keep his fortuitous encounter value at a high point.

Three years and three years, Zhao Xing quickly stayed in the cave dwelling on Moon Spirit Peak for one hundred and twenty years.

On this day, Zhao Xing ended his cultivation and prepared to go out for inspection as usual.

Suddenly, a breeze blew, and there was a sound in the wind.

"Zhao Xing~ Zhao Xing~"

The breeze entered his ears, and the sound also entered his ears.

Zhao Xing remained calm and continued flying.

He quickly landed on a mountain peak and began to inspect the situation in the mountain range, but in the rhythm of the earth pulse, he heard a message: "Zhao Xing, Agricultural Official Zhao, please answer if you hear~"

Zhao Xing still didn't react, pretending he didn't see it.

After he turned around and returned to the cave dwelling, thoughts flashed in his mind.

It was a sign that someone was offering incense to him.

This person was none other than "He Chengzi," who had offered five thousand years of true spirit incense to him before.

"Agricultural Official Zhao~ Please do not answer! Please do not answer!"

"This is an early warning message. Many gods are tracking your time shadows, looking for your footprints."

"I am currently in the 341st era of the Desolate Domain, on the Universe Boat. I sent this message just to remind you."

Zhao Xing extinguished this thought and did not respond to He Chengzi.

His face was a bit gloomy. He didn't expect the Evil God camp to actually start using such methods to search for him.

Was it the Heavenly Machine Thunder Mother of the Five Abyss Thunder Divine Office, or the Bookless Divine King City, or the Heavenly Mountain Beast God, or the Undying Underworld God force?

Zhao Xing extinguished this thought and did not respond to He Chengzi.

"There are trackers on the Universe Boat, and I'm afraid there are also trackers in other space-time territories. It's truly a large-scale search." Bowei laughed. "The intensity of tracking Qing Qing Yu Zi is probably just like this."

Zhao Xing was not panicked, but rather relaxed: "If no one was hunting me down, wouldn't it be a waste of assigning me a protector?"

"I haven't seen the Elder take action yet. On the contrary, I hope some heavy-hitting hunters will come."

"Elder, you shouldn't have a problem fighting ten of the same level, right?"

Bowei saw that Zhao Xing was not panicked at all, but stopped smiling: "You had better hide tighter and don't expose your identity. If I take action, the situation you face will be very bad." ===== CHAPTER 567 =====

"I haven't seen the Elder take action yet; on the contrary, I hope some formidable pursuers come."

"Elder, it shouldn't be a problem for you to take on ten opponents of the same rank, right?"

Bowei saw that Zhao Xing was not panicked at all and instead put away his smile: "You had best hide more carefully and not expose your identity. If I were to take action, the situation you would face would be very dire."
