Chapter 623: Clearance Document and Two-World Balance
"The Profound Yellow Dragon Clan actually ascended in the Demon God Era?" Qing Qing Yu Zi was somewhat surprised, "I didn't expect it to be so long ago."
He naturally understood the Dragon Clan; back in the Profound Yellow Realm, Pu Ta and Fairy Su of the Purple Moon Mansion had once unified the nineteen states.
"Assuming the Dragon Clan guards the entrance to the Profound Yellow Realm in the Feather Emperor era, then you, this 'Dragon Emperor,' should be able to find a way in."
Zhao Xing shook his head: "Feather Emperor Demon God Era, how many generations apart is this?"
"Maybe it can work." Qing Qing Yu Zi said: "Think about it, it's like a person from the local Great Zhou ascending and running into Ji Che in the Yuanhai Great Zhou; there's some causal connection involved."
Zhao Xing was not that optimistic.
Small requests were naturally fine, but if it involved major events, I'm afraid the Dragon Clan wouldn't easily agree.
However, there was ultimately a glimmer of possibility.
After discussing for a while, Zhao Xing and Qing Qing Yu Zi finally determined four destinations.
"First, Feather Emperor era, Demon God Era, Profound Yellow Realm."
"The purpose is to cultivate the Dao-attainment method, refine the Dao-attainment object, and seek the opportunity for Heaven and Earth Dao-attainment."
"As a Sealing Land, spells may transform, and it's possible to refine a Dao-attainment object, or even see the Extreme Stars."
"Object, Law, Heaven, Earth—attaining one is a gain; if not, taking the origin of Heavenly Time is also good."
Qing Qing Yu Zi nodded; this was a common need for him and Zhao Xing, because he was also a God of Heavenly Time.
Zhao Xing wanted to cultivate the Heavenly Tribulation Law; this spell itself was a Dao-attainment method created by a True God King in the Rui Emperor period.
In the nine heavens and ten lands, the Heavenly Tribulation Law reaches everywhere!
The Heavenly Tribulation Law represents a kind of authority and also a kind of status.
Qing Qing Yu Zi also cultivated a powerful Heavenly Time spell. According to the records of the Reincarnation Divine Hall, assuming it could enter the Sealing Land, the spell might transform into a Dao-attainment method. This was because of the special nature possessed by the Sealing Land.
In addition, investigating the Profound Yellow Realm was itself a secret mission given to him by the Reincarnation Divine Hall.
"Second, the Disaster World of the Three-Era period."
"Disaster World, countless disasters and changes, is also seeking the opportunity for Heaven and Earth Dao-attainment. It's just seeking Heaven and Earth, not Object and Law." Qing Qing Yu Zi said.
"Inside the Reincarnation Divine Hall, True Gods who solve such heaven and earth disasters and obtain significant enhancement are called Yin-Yang Dao-attainment."

"Third,"
"The place where Gu Xiao hid the stars; this goal is temporarily placed last, because the Year Beast refuses to reveal it, and no matter how we look, it's useless."
"Fourth, go to the location of the Causality Willow, which is also in the Feather Emperor era, specifically in the 'Double Spring Era.' I have already forgotten the specific location, only remembering that I need to find a person named 'Wu Sangong' to enter."
"Zhao Xing, my personal inclination is to find the location of the Causality Willow first. This is definitely a good place." Qing Qing Yu Zi said; his 'fate' with this place was already very small, and he had even forgotten the place and the experience.
He only remembered the Double Spring Era of the Feather Emperor period, and that he needed to find a person named 'Wu Sangong.'
Old Qing was now at the peak of the Divine General realm, with many treasures like the Killing Green Staff and the Tai Sui Armor in hand, and had even possessed a Time Page (given to Zhao Xing by Boundless, and Zhao Xing had given it to Qing Qing Yu Zi for safekeeping), but he still couldn't remember.
"I am in the Divine Machine City of an independent space-time, but the treasure land where the Causality Willow is located can affect me across space-time, and I can't remember it at all. Even the Time Page cannot restore the memory; this is definitely the power of a Dao Lord level."
"Zhao Xing, my fate with it is already very small, but you haven't been there yet. I'll lead the way, let's go and fish for a fortune again!"
Zhao Xing looked at Qing Qing Yu Zi's expectant look and knew that he really wanted to go to this place.
Qing Qing Yu Zi had mentioned it many times, wanting to go there, because as time passed, the details would be forgotten even more.
Old Qing was holding back from returning to the Desolate Domain era precisely because of it; if he traversed time along the flow, he would forget it completely.
Assuming he traversed backward, he would forget it completely after just two traversals.
"Then let's rank them."
"Prioritize going to the Double Spring Era of the Feather Emperor period to find the location of the Causality Willow."
"Then go to the Demon God Era of the Feather Emperor period to find the entrance to the Profound Yellow Realm guarded by the Dragon Clan."
"Finally, go to the Disaster World of the Three-Era period."
"After three trips, if I can resolve the bad luck and my strength greatly increases, then I can ask the Year Beast about the place where Gu Xiao hid the stars." Zhao Xing said.
Finding the Causality Willow first was
The Ten Thousand Finger Void Artifact alone cannot deceive a powerhouse. One must know that when the Boundless God King was in the God General stage, he could see through Void History Artifacts at a glance, yet he had no way to see through the disguise brought by the Causal Willow.
Back then, Qing Qing Yu Zi caused trouble in the Boundless God King City right under the God King's nose, which shows how powerful its effect is.
Not to mention finding other treasures, even just obtaining a few more branches of the Causal Willow would be a tremendous help.
"Alright, it's settled then," Qing Qing Yu Zi said excitedly. "I'll go prepare, and we'll meet again before we leave."
"Whoosh."
Lü Ming watched as Qing Qing Yu Zi whooshed back to his residence, and he couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
"He really is impatient, not even saying a word of greeting."
Zhao Xing looked at Lü Ming: "Brother Lü, our journey is somewhat dangerous. Your wish is to see the prosperity of the world, but you could stay in the God Machine City and watch different space-times as the city operates."
"Now that you have the Three Epoch Bell bestowed by the God King, there are Medicine Gods here stronger than me, so you don't need to take risks following me."
Lü Ming shook his head: "I want to go."
Zhao Xing was a bit puzzled: "Why?"
He believed he had already explained it very clearly; whether it is the Feather Emperor Era, the Demon God Epoch, or the Double Spring Epoch, the things they are going to do are quite dangerous.
"It's mainly because Brother Qing Qing Yu Zi once told me a story about a rich young master," Lü Ming said. "It made me see my own heart clearly."
Zhao Xing was stunned.
It's Old Qing again!
He finally understood the feeling of the Boundless God King.
Lü Ming had actually changed his mind.
"Don't misunderstand him," Lü Ming laughed. "I used to say I wanted to go out and see the world, but in reality, what I was thinking of were those few times I followed the Dao Court out."
"What I saw were the Heaven-Reaching Assembly, wonders like the Heaven-Reaching River, and the spectacle of the collapse of the Origin Realm."
"If I were to look at ordinary scenery, I'm afraid it would be quite boring."
Zhao Xing was speechless.
When the Nine Nether Dao Lord travels, what kind of standard is that? How can it be compared?
He is a Dao Lord, so of course, the places he goes are all high-end!
So the world Lü Ming wants to see is like this?
Zhao Xing didn't even know what to say.
Seeing Zhao Xing silent, Lü Ming thought Zhao Xing was worried about his strength.
"Don't worry, I will absolutely not hold you back."
"Although I have only left the Dao Court four times, I am definitely not someone with short-sighted vision."
"It's not that I'm boasting, but regarding proving the Dao with Heaven and Earth, you and Qing Qing Yu Zi may not necessarily know as much as I do."
"The True Gods you have seen may not be as many as I have."
Lü Ming really wasn't blowing smoke. Even the Feather Sound Mountain after the Dao Court's decline still had 24 people, including six God Kings and eight True God Generals.
Yu Tianfu, who achieved dual proof of Music and Agriculture and participated in the Heaven-Reaching Assembly, was even Lü Ming's grandmaster.
Lü Ming invited Zhao Xing to take a seat, and the two sat down to discuss the Dao.
"Qing Qing Yu Zi just mentioned Yin-Yang Dao Proof and Object-Law Dao Proof, but he didn't explain it clearly enough."
"Objects, Laws, Heaven, and Earth can be proven individually, but the linkage between Objects and Laws is the strongest. Usually, once one obtains the method of Dao Proof, one can quickly create the object of Dao Proof."
"Oh? How so?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Power God Object." Lü Ming grabbed the wine cup on the table; the cup was a very ordinary low-stage divine object.
But under the infusion of his divine power, the cup's shape and quality quickly changed.
And as the fine wine was poured in, wonderful and soft music soon emanated from it.
This was the Eight-Pillar Feather Sound.
Immediately after, Lü Ming waved his hand again, and the quality of the wine cup quickly climbed to a high-stage divine artifact, emitting a clanging sound of the 'Zheng' note.
Zhao Xing's pupils shrank, because Lü Ming had activated the Fengshan Divine Skill, 'Divine Zheng: Thunder Sound'.
At this moment, the power of this sound was clearly much greater than during their previous sparring sessions.
Zhao Xing curiously took the wine cup to examine it.
The panel actually prompted him that he had gained an additional Object of Dao Proof!
"This—"
Zhao Xing was suddenly somewhat shocked.
"Grandmaster, please forgive me; this disciple is guilty," Lü Ming bowed toward Zhao Xing's stomach. "Using the Fengshan Divine Skill here is truly a desecration."
That's right, the Fengshan Divine Skill!
When Zhao Xing and Lü Ming sparred, the other party never used the Fengshan Divine Skill. He originally thought it required collective effort to perform, but he didn't expect that it was actually Lü Ming who was unwilling to use it, following some kind of musical ritual.
But soon he was somewhat stunned again.
Because after Lü Ming finished apologizing, he picked up another cup to fiddle with, demonstrating a second Fengshan Divine Skill.
Divine Zheng: Rain Sound!
The commotion this time was even greater.
Clearly, it wasn't raining, yet Zhao Xing felt as if he were standing under a heavy downpour.
Thunder rolled in the sky, and the heavy rain soaked his soul and divine body; even the operation of his divine power changed its trajectory because of it.
The Heaven, Earth, and Human divine patterns showed an obvious reaction.
The Realm Core, the Great Sun Qi Sea, and the Miniature Extreme Land were all shaken simultaneously.
"Clang!"
Zhao Xing was so startled that he dropped the cup.
"Brother Lü, you—so you were still hiding a few tricks."
No wonder he was able to injure the Year Beast.
After Lü Ming left the Dao Court, he had always been in a sickly state, but when he was inside the Dao Court, Lü Ming was able to crack the Year Beast's horn!
"You are clearly not a True God," Zhao Xing frowned. "Why is your spell just now so strong, and how can it make the cup advance in rank?"
"This is what I just said; your understanding of Heaven and Earth Dao Proof and True Gods is not yet profound enough," Lü Ming sat down.
"I just mentioned that if one has a method of Dao Proof, one can quickly obtain an object of Dao Proof; the reason is the Power God Object."
"My statement just now originates from the Nine Nether Dao Court, from Senior Shang Shuzi's 'Book of Divine Appraisals': 'Divine power penetrates the object, transcending the mortal and entering the sacred; obtain the method, and you can obtain the object.'"
Who was Shang Shuzi? Zhao Xing had never heard of him; he must have been a great power of the Nine Nether Dao Court, but he had disappeared in the long river of history.
When Emperor Luo became the Luo Emperor, there must have been a purge. Many people under the Nine Nether Dao Court would not be remembered, nor would there be any inheritance passed down; this is the struggle of Daoist orthodoxy.
"Objects and Laws are usually placed together, called Object-Law Dao Proof."
"Heaven and Earth correspond to Yin and Yang, called Yin-Yang Dao Proof."
"The so-called Yin and Yang give birth to all things, and all things reveal their principles; observe the principles to seek the Great Dao, and the Great Dao reveals its laws."
"The four can be viewed individually, but their linkage is extremely strong."
"When a Dao Lord achieves proof, the Dao travels through the heavens; the method itself contains infinite greatness, so there is no need to seek so-called heavenly treasures. Just take any object, penetrate it with divine power, and it becomes a Dao-Sacrificing Divine Artifact."
"When Emperor Luo became the God Emperor, he bestowed the Treasure-Gathering Basin upon the Year Beast, rewarding it with the ability to consume the heavens. In reality, the material of the basin itself was very ordinary—not to say it can be seen everywhere, but it is definitely not hard to find."
Lü Ming's words made Zhao Xing feel as if a new world had opened up. He had always felt that the vast majority of Dao Divine Objects were stronger than Power God Objects.
But what Lü Ming said changed his perception.
Power God Objects are not only not weak, but this concept itself was derived from the Objects of Dao Proof.
"But Brother Lü, you know the Fengshan Divine Skill, so why are you not considered a True God?" Zhao Xing asked.
In his panel display, Lü Ming was not a True God General, but a Free God General.
The Fengshan Divine Skill was also grayed out, only lighting up when Lü Ming used it.
At a certain moment, Lü Ming was a 'True God of the Instant,' possessing the power of a True God, but usually, he was displayed as a Free God General.
"This brings us to the strength levels of the four Dao Proofs," Lü Ming said.
"First, let's talk about the Objects of Dao Proof."
"Divine Soldier-level Heaven and Earth Dao Proof: generally, the Laws, Heaven, and Earth proven at the Divine Soldier level are relatively weak, with almost no special features, and the increase in strength is not obvious; high-stage divine objects are enough to carry them."
"Supreme-grade divine objects carry the Dao of the God General level. The Boundless True God's original bell tower should be considered at this level. Its materials are superior, and it is blessed with Laws. Whether performing the Great Time-Space Art or array barriers, it can shuttle through different space-times at will. The Boundless True God is indeed among the strongest batch of True Gods I have ever seen."
"In those two Heaven-Reaching Assemblies, its brilliance was probably only slightly inferior to my grandmaster's."
In the God Machine City, within the divine palace, the Boundless God King raised his head and smiled slightly.
He had roughly guessed Lü Ming's origins.
As a remnant of the Nine Nether Dao Court, Boundless would naturally pay attention to every move of this person because he appeared by Zhao Xing's side.
Musicians preaching and teaching are the most seductive to the human heart. Lü Ming probably guessed he would hear it and deliberately flattered him just now.
On the other side, Lü Ming continued speaking.
"Divine King Artifacts correspond to God Kings, Dao-Sacrificing Artifacts correspond to Dao Lords, and Fengshan Artifacts correspond to God Emperors."
"The Methods of Dao Proof are divided into four levels:"
"Law Penetrating the Five Elements, God Transmitting Between Two Realms, Dao Traveling Through the Heavens, and Fengshan Preaching the Dao."
"At the God General level, one can usually achieve 【Law Penetrating the Five Elements】; the Heaven and Earth corresponding to their Method of Dao Proof are limited by time and region."
"A few True Gods can achieve 【God Transmitting Between Two Realms】, meaning they influence both the Yin and Yang realms and time reincarnation. Suppose a Medicine God who has achieved Heaven and Earth Dao Proof poisons someone; then even if they reincarnate and are reborn, reincarnating from the Feather Emperor Era and being born in the Domain Era, they will still be poisoned."
"The might of a True God can span eras and ignore reincarnation; the Heaven and Earth corresponding to their Method of Dao Proof are no longer limited to the current era, and the range is also extremely large."
"【Dao Traveling Through the Heavens】 is the level of the Boundless God King. His Law can already be called 'Dao.' Any space-time, any location, even influencing the decline and prosperity of other professions."
"This is 【Dao Traveling Through the Heavens】."
"The Place of Dao Proof and the Heaven of Dao Proof of the Boundless God King are both at a very high level."
Zhao Xing understood that Dao Traveling Through the Heavens is generally something only the Dao Lord level can achieve.
God Machine: Life Box influenced the Dao of Mechanists and the Dao of Fate Masters.
His Law was already close to the Dao.
As for 【Fengshan Preaching the Dao】, that is the true Dao.
God Emperors all open up new Great Daos; the Method of a God Emperor is the Dao!
"Returning to the previous question," Lü Ming said. "You just asked me why I am not a True God, yet I can exert the combat power of a True God."
"I just said that Objects, Laws, Heaven, and Earth must be discussed together."
"At the Dao Lord level, there are different distinctions for Dao-Sacrificing Artifacts."
"Like the Nine Nether Dao Lord I serve, His Law is the Ultimate Law, mastering the Ultimate Dao without external objects, sitting in possession of the Nine Nether Earth, being the Lord of the Nine Nethers, and favored by the Nine Nethers."
"The Dao-Sacrificing Artifact of the Pool is the Dao Court."
"Only at the level of a Dao Lord is one qualified to participate in the Heaven-Reaching Assembly."
"The Dao Lord bestowed upon people like us the Fengshan Divine Skill. When I perform the Fengshan Divine Skill, I am actually utilizing the 'legacy' of the Dao Lord."
Zhao Xing suddenly realized. He remembered that when the Year Beast was appraising the Sacrificial Divine Tablet and the Eight-Sided Lantern of the Moon Prime Minister, it once said that although some True Gods are dead, they still have 'legacies of the Dao' left in the long river of space-time.
Although the Daos of these True Gods gradually weaken in the long river of time, they still exist. There are certain methods, such as through Dao-Proof Artifacts, to utilize them, especially since Priests have an advantage in this regard.
And as a Dao Lord, the Dao legacy of the Lord of Nine Nethers must be quite vast, although it must have been worn away significantly by the Luo Emperor.
Lü Ming is the example in the Year Beast's words who can utilize the 'Dao legacy.'
Seeing a living example before him, Zhao Xing finally understood what 【Dao Traveling Through the Heavens】 meant!
The God Machine City is in an independent space-time, but the Dao of the Nine Nether Dao Lord can still enable Lü Ming to exert extraordinary power in the God Machine City!
"Heaven and Earth are more complex."
"A mountain can be 'Earth,' and a star can also be 'Earth.'"
"A natural disaster can be 'Heaven,' the place illuminated by a sun star can also be 'Heaven,' incense can be 'Heaven,' the Artisan God's artifact can be 'Heaven,' and even spiritual energy can be Heaven and Earth."
"The Heaven and Earth in the concept of Heaven and Earth Dao Proof are too complex, and their power when combined with Objects and Laws is ever-changing."
Zhao Xing nodded, because Heaven and Earth are Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang give birth to all things; they can be concrete physical locations or a certain period of time.
That is why there is the proof of 【Law Penetrating the Five Elements】 and the proof of 【God Transmitting Between Two Realms】.
"Lü Ming is right; Heaven and Earth are Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang give birth to all things, combining with all laws to be ever-changing, so they cannot be subdivided."
At this moment, a voice appeared in the pavilion.
Lü Ming and Zhao Xing both stood up and bowed toward the direction of the God Machine City.
"Discussing the Dao while sitting, why be so formal? I was just inspired and joined in to be a questioner of the Dao," the Boundless God King said. After he finished, Zhao Xing and Lü Ming sat down again.
The Boundless God King continued from the previous topic: "Some people's Place of Dao Proof is only a small mountain, and this mountain's range is not even as large as the courtyard you live in."
"But if this mountain is the head of the Unknown Mountain, appearing in every space-time and indestructible, then it is different."
Zhao Xing's eyes flickered; the example the Boundless God King gave should be the Ten Directions Mountain.
"If one can achieve Dao Proof here, even if their Law was originally only 【Law Penetrating the Five Elements】, it would be elevated to the level of 【Dao Traveling Through the Heavens】."
"And although some regions are vast, if their spiritual energy is sparse and the pulse is not obvious—for example, the Panhu Land—five out of ten are low-grade regions, and two out of ten are dead pulses."
"The successive Dao Lords born in the Panhu Land are congenitally deficient, being a notch weaker than the Dao Lords of the other nine regions."
"Of course, it is not impossible to change; if there is Divine Soil to supplement it, its foundation can be changed."
"This is why major forces must wage war against each other and snatch territory."
Zhao Xing suddenly understood. He remembered what Qing Qing Yu Zi said just now, that Bowei's actions in the Demon God Epoch triggered a space-time displacement catastrophe, with terrifying natural disasters running rampant everywhere.
No wonder Lord Ancestral Ming wanted to hold the True History Party accountable.
It must be that Bowei's actions destroyed the foundation of their Dao Proof!
"Earth is the foundation; Heaven is the practice of the Dao."
"I can only list a few recognized top-tier proofs of 'Heaven' and 'Earth'."
Next, the Boundless True God mentioned the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, which are the most important top-tier Heaven and Earth for Dao Proof.
There are also some special existences: Heaven-Reaching River, Primordial Extreme Land, Extreme Star, Primordial Qi Sea, Dao-Chaos River, Forest of the Universe, River of Three Generations, Nether Ancient Mountain, Ten Directions Mountain, Heart Realm, Void Land, etc.
"Although there are many places, one Heaven and one Earth correspond to one Law and one Object."
"Ten proofs of the Small Dao are not as good as one proof of the Great Dao."
"Of course, when first proving the Dao, the focus is on Objects and Laws; one can try more and absorb experience."
The Boundless God King's voice soon dissipated.
Leaving behind Lü Ming and Zhao Xing, who were deep in thought.
He said he was a questioner of the Dao, but in reality, he acted as a preacher of the Dao.
Lü Ming felt deep admiration, because this was selfless sharing and precious experience.
A few months later, Qing Qing Yu Zi finished his preparations and met with Zhao Xing and Lü Ming at the entrance of the God Machine City's passage.
Hearing about the Boundless God King's preaching in the pavilion, he immediately lamented.
"What? He preached after I left?"
"And just now, he even gave Lü Ming a good thing?"
"I, what a sin—"
Qing Qing Yu Zi stomped his feet and beat his chest, feeling he had missed a great opportunity.
Lü Ming and Zhao Xing immediately laughed.
Old Qing had indeed left a bad impression on the Boundless God King.
If Old Qing were a player, he would have had negative reputation and negative favorability in the God Machine City from the start.
Although he later made up for his mistakes, he still couldn't compare to Lü Ming.
At the time of parting, the Peacock was ordered to send Lü Ming a few of Boundless's collections, while Qing Qing Yu Zi didn't even get a hair.
"Stop lamenting, let's go; the space-time passage cannot be maintained for too long," Zhao Xing patted Old Qing on the shoulder.
Qing Qing Yu Zi and Lü Ming immediately jumped into Zhao Xing's Palm World.
Zhao Xing looked back, saw the Peacock below the transfer plaza, and waved: "Peacock, goodbye."
"Goodbye, Your Highness," the Peacock smiled and bowed, watching Zhao Xing step into the Gate of Space-Time.
The Gate of Space-Time opened by the Boundless God King from the God Machine City can only shuttle to the first epoch that began in the Luo Emperor Era, which is the Yuan Luo Epoch.
It is not because the Boundless God King can only send people there, but because the Boundless God King respects the Feather Emperor and will not do things like smuggling.
There are chaotic eras of hegemony among the Five Emperors, which is the period when Dao Lords compete to become Emperors.
Above the long river of time corresponding to these periods, there are clusters of mist, obscuring some important time points.
At the same time, there are also large space-time barriers between Emperors, and the two do not see each other.
The Luo Emperor Era and the Feather Emperor Era also have many space-time barriers.
After Zhao Xing transferred, he appeared at the 'Moon Sea Star' of the Honggu Heaven.
The entire Moon Sea Star is desolate, with only one human city.
It is not illuminated by the Sun Star or the Moon Star, and its periphery is wrapped by the Void Chaos River.
Moon Sea Star is a time pass controlled by the Night Sea God King of Honggu Heaven.
Under his command is a general named God General Shen Ge, who once supported the God Machine City.
At this time, Zhao Xing had already changed his appearance, calling himself 'Chonglou.'
The God General guarding the pass in Moon Sea City only glanced at the God Machine Token, and became enthusiastic.
There is no other way; the prestige of the Boundless God King has spread throughout all space-times, and the gold content of the four words "Dao Traveling Through the Heavens" is too high.
Regardless of who the person coming is, as long as they hold the Boundless God King's token, non-hostile forces must give face, not to mention it is a friendly force.
"Fellow Daoist, transferring from the Moon Sea Pass, you can reach the first solar year of the third epoch of the Hegemony Era at the furthest; that is the last time pass controlled by our Honggu Heaven."
"Beyond that, you will have to rely on yourself, Fellow Daoist," the guarding God General introduced.
"Thank you for your trouble," Zhao Xing bowed.
"Since it is your first time passing through my pass, Fellow Daoist, some rules must be made clear," the guarding God General said. "If you want to buy or sell things or resupply, you must do so locally at the passes along the way."
"At my pass, you must also use the Two-Realm Balance. If you reach the next time pass and the values on the Two-Realm Balance do not match,"
"then that is breaking the rules. You will face severe punishment."
"Understood." Zhao Xing handed over a God General Tower, then followed the guarding God General to a plaza in the city.
Above the plaza here, multiple glowing spheres were arranged, forming a scale; the starlight condensed into a platform, which was the weighing platform.
The Two-Realm Balance is actually a measuring tool.
It's just that it doesn't weigh weight, but various origins.
If Zhao Xing stands on it and it shows 1000, then when he reaches the next space-time pass, it must still be 1000.
He can pass through, but he cannot plunder spiritual energy or matter along the way; he cannot even absorb a mouthful of spiritual energy.
Otherwise, it would cause the origin in the time segment between the passes to decrease.
Stealing origin is punished very severely; the most serious consequence is being defined as an Evil God, being killed, and returning the Dao to Heaven to enrich the origin of this space-time.
Therefore, whether it is resupplying or buying and selling, it is best to do it within the pass.
Because within the pass, the Two-Realm Balance is the most standard; bartering and absorbing origin for resupply are all recorded,
so it can be matched at the next space-time pass.
Zhao Xing doesn't have to barter or resupply within the pass, as long as the final value does not exceed the limit, it will be fine.
The value can be less, but not more.
Being less means losing origin in this space-time, while being more means stealing origin; regardless of the form—
encounters, cultivation, obtaining treasures—all are considered exceeding the limit.
The time pass controlled by the Night Sea God King requires a fee for passage, but the fee is very low—one God General Tower's worth of divine power is enough. Regular forces charge low fees, but the rules are strict.
Irregular forces charge high fees, but the rules are very loose.
Zhao Xing doesn't need to stop in the middle, so of course, he chose the regular shuttle passage to the Feather Emperor Era.
However, the Night Sea God King here can only pass through to the third epoch after the Feather Emperor Era ends.
"Fellow Daoist, it's done." The guarding God General let Zhao Xing stand for a while, then invited Zhao Xing down.
The value displayed on the Two-Realm Balance was terrifying, actually reaching one hundred thousand!
The Two-Realm Balance is a tool for measuring origin, so this value can also roughly reflect a person's strength.
The guarding God General himself only had 34, and that was counting the divine objects on his body, because divine objects also contain origin.
Zhao Xing's one hundred thousand is definitely a powerhouse among God Generals!
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist."
"I dare not accept; it is just my duty," the guarding God General's attitude changed from polite to respectful.
In fact, this Two-Realm Balance is still not very accurate, because Zhao Xing's Void Dharma Robe is not only ignored by people, but even the artifact spirit of the Two-Realm Balance ignores a portion of the origin.
If calculated precisely, detecting everything in his internal world, Zhao Xing's value would definitely exceed the ten-million mark!
Then why shuttle? It would be blatantly telling people that here is a walking treasure house, with many, many treasures on his body, and it would even be easy to guess his true identity.
"Rules are meant to be broken," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "In fact, many people performing secret missions have means to deceive the Two-Realm Balance."
The first epoch of the Luo Emperor Era does not belong to the Night Sea God King alone; he is just a God King and cannot control every place in this space-time.
So these rules can only be said to maintain surface order; in reality, everyone is doing things secretly.
Theoretically, the Two-Realm Balance cannot truly weigh all the origin of a space-time unless it is a God Emperor.
"Hum—" Zhao Xing crossed over into the Gate of Space-Time again.
After descending, Zhao Xing found that the time displayed on the panel had changed.
He no longer appeared in the 【Luo Emperor Era】, but in the 【Hegemony Era】 that existed between the Feather Emperor and the Luo Emperor.
"The Hegemony Era, the 536th epoch. According to historical records, the Nine Nether Dao Lord should be fighting the final battle with the Luo Emperor at this time, but in reality, the Nine Nether Dao Lord is already dead, and even if I shuttle back, I won't see him," Zhao Xing thought.
"But Lü Ming's strength is increasing, proving that there is more Dao legacy left in this space-time."
"The person dies but the Dao does not vanish; even in my internal world, Lü Ming's changes are very obvious. This is the strength of a Dao Lord."
Qing Qing Yu Zi couldn't stay idle while staying in the internal world; hearing that Lü Ming was hiding a few tricks, he kept pestering him to spar.
When Zhao Xing was in the Luo Emperor Era, Lü Ming's Fengshan Divine Skill could not completely defeat Qing Qing Yu Zi.
But appearing in the 【Hegemony Era】, Lü Ming immediately became fierce, and one Fengshan Divine Skill could defeat Old Qing.
Zhao Xing performed the shuttle in a dull manner. He left the God Machine City and first descended into the first epoch of the Luo Emperor Era, the Yuan Luo Epoch.
Then he descended into the 536th, 367th, 175th, 85th, 43rd, and 21st epochs of the Hegemony Era respectively.
At this time, the power of Lü Ming's Fengshan Divine Skill had already reached its peak.
Qing Qing Yu Zi plus the Year Beast, fighting Lü Ming together, were not a match for a single blow.
However, after the seventh shuttle, Zhao Xing appeared in the third epoch of the Hegemony Era.
At this time, the power of Lü Ming's Fengshan Divine Skill began to decrease significantly.
Because the Dao legacy of the Nine Nether Dao Lord is distributed with different strengths in different space-times, being strongest in the era when he fought for hegemony while alive.
In the third epoch of the Hegemony Era, the Star City of Honggu Heaven was many times larger.
It was located on a star land, very prosperous, with a population exceeding ten million.
Clearly, there are many people shuttling through space-time or living here.
"Fellow Daoist, this is the last stop of the Gate of Space-Time."
"Next, you cannot continue to shuttle, Fellow Daoist, but you can exchange for some opportunities or encounters in Honggu Heaven. You can also join our Honggu Heaven, or do some things for Honggu Heaven, then you won't need to be weighed by the Two-Realm Balance when passing through the space-time gate," the City Lord of Star City, who is also the leader of many guarding God Generals, 'God General Tianye,' personally received Zhao Xing.
Because Zhao Xing's value on the Two-Realm Balance exceeded one hundred thousand, this belongs to the powerhouses among God Generals. If he were a loose cultivator, he would certainly not miss the opportunity to win him over; if he were from other forces, he could also come to cooperate on some things.
"Thank you, God General Tianye. Chonglou would like to travel around first to perfect the Realm Theory," Zhao Xing politely declined.
Tianye didn't mind; out of ten people shuttling through space-time, eight say they are here to perfect the Realm Theory.
In reality, most have other purposes.
"Alright, if Fellow Daoist Chonglou has any needs, you can come to me at any time."
"Farewell."
Zhao Xing left Star City quickly.
After leaving Star City and experiencing another half a year, Zhao Xing finally left the region of Honggu Heaven.
Qing Qing Yu Zi and Lü Ming were finally released from the internal world.
"What now? Star City is already the last stop, and we are still a long time away from the Feather Emperor Era," Lü Ming asked. He felt that everything here was very familiar yet very fresh.
"I know some small places for smuggling," Qing Qing Yu Zi said in a deep voice. "It's just that the price is very expensive, and it's somewhat dangerous."
"Dangerous? I have an expectation of bad luck now, so it's best not to mess around," Zhao Xing said.
"Then what can you do?"
"Of course I have a way. Look at this." Zhao Xing flipped his hand, and a document appeared, with golden characters flickering on it.
【Imperial Edict of Emperor Zhuan of the Constant Profound Realm: Chaos is rampant, Evil Gods are acting against the flow, causing disorder in the universe, and desolation in the silence. I created the Land of Constant Profound to clear the source of darkness and rectify the root of the Great Dao. I specially appoint a Divine Envoy to travel through a thousand passes, eliminating demons and defending the Dao. The Great Dao is profound,】
【Blessed by the Five Fortunes, if you reach the heavens, do not destroy the good karma, let them pass according to the edict, those who hold the edict must be respected.】
"The Imperial Edict of Emperor Rui?" Qing Qing Yu Zi was somewhat envious. "The Boundless God King is truly wealthy, to be able to give you one so casually."
The Imperial Edict of Emperor Rui is very valuable.
It is different from the Chaos Token; the Chaos Token is not circulated in the market at all and cannot be bought or sold, while the Imperial Edict of Emperor Rui is very sought after, and the price is hyped very high.
Qing Qing Yu Zi learned that this was a welcoming gift from the Boundless God King to Zhao Xing, and he was even more speechless. Zhao Xing was only a Demigod at that time, and he actually gave such a precious gift?
"If we have this, then we have many paths to choose from," Qing Qing Yu Zi said. "We can easily pass through any force."
