Chapter 632: Dao Master Token, Independent Space-Time Territory
Develop power, supreme treasure reward, heaven and earth Dao verification, secret technique inheritance—how to choose?
Of course, you want them all!
Zhao Xing soon realized that among these options, there was one that could achieve the intention of "wanting them all".
"Report to the Dragon Ancestor, I want to establish my own power."
The smile in the Dragon Ancestor's eyes deepened.
Zhao Xing made the right choice.
Among all the options, only by establishing his own power could he bring along the other benefits.
Wanting to establish a divine-level power and stand firm in the endless space-time is not that simple.
The Dragon Ancestor wants to help Zhao Xing dominate one side, but Zhao Xing is only at the Divine General level. If he dares to claim respect, someone will come to step on him immediately. The Dragon Ancestor has Dao Master-level friends, so he will inevitably greet old friends.
To protect this young seedling's growth, there must be strong people to escort, and there must be powerful supreme treasures and secret techniques, otherwise it is difficult to attract talent.
So, choosing this point is actually "wanting them all".
Of course, Zhao Xing also has to perform well himself. If he is an unsupportable A Dou, the Dragon Ancestor probably won't reward any supreme treasures or secret techniques later.
Zhao Xing is also very clear about this point. Only by choosing the first item, establishing power, can he get the Dragon Ancestor's subsequent support.
Because the Dragon Ancestor also wants that branch of the Xuanhuang Dragon Clan in the Wilderness Era to live well.
If something happens to the Dragon Clan in the Sunset Wilderness, the branch led by Zhao Xing will be the last group of pure Dragon Clans in the universe.
The other legacy Dragon Clans are few in number and cannot form an ethnic group at all.
"Child, since you chose to establish power, then I will give you some things."
The Dragon Ancestor opened his mouth and spat out a silver-white sword blade. It looked ordinary, plain, and had no origin fluctuation at all, only a blood-colored planet engraved on the blade surface was special, making people feel instinctive trembling.
"This token was left by the Carefree Sword Master 'Zhan Ming'."
Carefree Sword Master, Zhan Ming?
When Zhao Xing saw the sword blade and heard the name, he had a strange feeling, as if a pair of eyes had looked at him.
This is the Dragon Ancestor's Holy Palace; it is absolutely impossible to be spied on, but he just had such a feeling.
"Not many people know his name, I count as one. Now that I have told you the token and the name, you can choose the opportunity to invite him out of the mountain."
Zhao Xing took the 【Blood Star Sword Blade】 obediently, then asked: "Dragon Ancestor, when is a good time for me to invite him out of the mountain?"
The Dragon Ancestor recalled: "Zhan Ming is a great swordsman."
"Before the Feather Emperor verified the Dao, the Primordial Heaven and Earth (the name before the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths split) were rampant with ancient gods, and dark source life was rampant. When Zhan Ming was just a Divine General, he had beheaded many Primordial Demon Gods and established a great reputation."
"He was talented, but indifferent to the world. Although many people regarded him as a teacher, and his own strength reached the Dao Master level, he refused to fight for hegemony. At that time, he had even created a Dao-verifying method in a fairly large territory and received heaven and earth blessing, but he gave it up voluntarily."
"He once told me that if there were one more Dao Court in the world, I don't know how many lives would be sacrificed."
"The Feather Emperor verified the Dao and rewarded merits, and Zhan Ming was fifth on the Heaven List."
"But he refused all rewards and only made one request, which was to let the Feather Emperor help him with deep divine concealment."
"Zhan Ming, hahaha, truly free and easy," the Dragon Ancestor had a thick nostalgia in his eyes: "I still remember the reaction of the gods after Zhan Ming said it."
Zhao Xing was shocked. Zhan Ming was indeed worthy of the title of great.
"After that, the Feather Emperor said his long-circulated title—Carefree Sword Master—at the Dao-verifying ceremony."
"Since then, Zhan Ming and his Dao partner retired, disappearing from the memory of most people." 【63
"I met Zhan Ming because of his Dao companion's resurrection, and we spent some time together afterward, which is why I was able to retain my memories."
Listening to these secrets, Zhao Xing couldn't help but feel a sense of respect.
Leaving after the deed is done, hiding one's merit and fame.
Wielding a sword to uphold justice when the world is in chaos, and being able to immediately retire to the mountains and forests when the world is settled.
Truly worthy of being the Carefree Sword Master.
"When you can go to the Chaos Era to accept that Chaos Territory, you can invite Zhan Ming to come out of seclusion and sit in the Chaos Territory."
"With him there, you can rest assured while you fight outside; the situation with the Boundless God King will never happen."
The Dragon Ancestor gave his advice.
"Yes." Zhao Xing understood.
The Dragon Ancestor said Zhan Ming was a great swordsman; a Dao Lord like Zhan Ming could certainly not become his hired thug, nor could he be driven to do anything.
Guarding the home base was the best choice.
With a Dao Lord guarding the base, situations like Xi Marquis Marquis Marquis Marquis Tian God King ambushing the Boundless God King's base would be very difficult to happen to Zhao Xing.
"The Chaos Territory and Zhan Ming can ensure you gain a foothold in the endless time-space, but your cultivation time is still short, and you are not yet suitable to take over that Chaos Territory."
Zhao Xing nodded; developing in the Chaos Era meant crossing the time before the White-Burning Era, traversing the eras, ages, periods, worlds, and phases of the Dao-Manifestation Eon and the Primordial Eon.
During the journey, there were many naturally born demon gods blocking the way; without some strength, one couldn't pass.
If one's strength wasn't enough, going there would only mean being holed up in the Chaos Territory, which had no meaning.
The Dragon Ancestor said: "I will order the Nine Great Dragon Gods to first build you an independent time-space territory."
"This independent time-space territory will anchor the only landing point of the River of Time, which is right here in the Sunset Barren Domain."
Zhao Xing's eyes trembled; helping to build an independent time-space territory—wouldn't that be the same as the Divine Machine City?
Not just that, it would probably be even stronger than the Divine Machine City!
Because the Dragon Ancestor said the only entrance anchoring the River of Time was in the Sunset Barren Domain, which meant that if any enemy wanted to attack his time-space territory, the Sunset Dragon Race would know first.
This was a natural defensive barrier, more effective than any barrier formation!
Of course, it would also limit some early development progress, but this could be solved by opening small time-space channels, which wouldn't hinder communication with other forces.
"When you bring the Dragon Race of the Barren Domain Era over, I will invite a few legacy Dragon Race members to be your guest elders."
"You can also let the Nine Great Dragon Gods teach them."
Zhao Xing took a deep breath.
Just as he had thought, as long as one chose to develop a force, the help given by the Dragon Ancestor was much greater than imagined.
He had benefited from the Profound Yellow Dragon Race.
"Many thanks, Dragon Ancestor." Zhao Xing didn't know what to say, just kept thanking him.
"Child, no need to be so formal." The Dragon Ancestor's voice was gentle: "What cause you sow, such fruit you reap."
"I watched the time-shadow of your ascension to the Barren Domain; you fulfilled the duties a Dragon Emperor should have; Yin Xiu and the others received equal treatment in the Great Zhou, and you treated them very well."
The Dragon Ancestor knew well that the initial stage of ascending from a small place would be very difficult.
If the ruler were cold-hearted, the best way would be to treat the Dragon Race as slaves to support a small number of humans. Even more brutal, one could extract their blood and marrow, sell the Dragon Race's life Dao diagrams, and sell them to the life research institutes of those major forces.
Because the Dragon Race's bloodline was unique at the time, and there were no other Dragon Race bloodlines elsewhere, it was very precious for research.
Zhao Xing did not do that; the Dragon Race that followed him in his ascension had the same status as the humans of the Great Zhou.
If Zhao Xing had been that kind of brutal monarch, the Dragon Ancestor would never have given such generous rewards.
Zhao Xing felt a bit emotional; when they first ascended from the Profound Yellow World, they did indeed sell many of the Profound Yellow World's local specialties, and some ministers had secretly suggested selling the Dragon Race, but Zhao Xing, as the Grand Minister of Agriculture, had directly refused.
Later, when the Great Zhou migrated to the Red Star Empire, Zhao Xing had also specifically reminded Ji Che not to mistreat the Dragon Race; at that time, Dragon Kings like Yin Xiu were also allocated many fertile lands to cultivate.
He had the confidence to come to the Demon God Era to see the Dragon Race because he had never mistreated them, but he hadn't expected to receive such a generous reward from the Dragon Ancestor because of this.
"Building an independent time-space territory takes quite a bit of time."
"You are a Minister of Agriculture; you can discuss how to build the time-space territory specifically with 'Fu Ming' and 'Huang Li'."
Fu Ming was the ancestor of the Dragon Race's craftsmen. Many special professions were derived from this, such as Dragon Race mechanical engineers, Dragon Race formation masters, and Dragon Race blacksmiths. Back in the Profound Yellow World, when Zhao Xing first entered the Dragon Court, he had become a craftsman in the Fu Ming Divine Temple.
Fu Ming was also one of the nine Dragon God Kings, but he hadn't said much on the way.
Huang Li was the Dragon Race's Minister of Agriculture, specializing in the Earthly Advantage school, and was also quite proficient in the essence of Heavenly Time.
The bloodline divine power within the Dragon Race could, to a certain extent, achieve effects similar to Heavenly Time divine power.
As for the mobilization of manpower, one could discuss it with the Black Dragon God King "Zi".
The Dragon Ancestor didn't manage small matters; the affairs of the Dragon Race in the Sunset Barren Domain were jointly managed by the nine Dragon God Kings, among whom the Black Dragon God King "Zi" was the strongest.
"You have just returned, and there are many Dragon Race skills you haven't learned; during the time of building the independent time-space territory, you can also follow Zi, Shui Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Yue, and Huang Li to learn."
The Dragon Ancestor gave a few more instructions, then dismissed Zhao Xing, and summoned the nine Dragon God Kings into the hall.
Zhao Xing left the divine hall, still feeling somewhat dazed.
Qing Qing Qing Yu Zi, the interval, and Du Yun had been waiting for a long time; seeing Zhao Xing come out, they immediately stood up.
"It's bad; I'm afraid there's no good result." Seeing Zhao Xing's dazed expression, Qing Qing Qing Yu Zi muttered in his heart.
The interval was also worried; could it be that the talks had collapsed and Zhao Xing had displeased the Dragon Ancestor?
On the contrary, Du Yun was jubilant: "Good, a very good thing."
"It looks like Zhao Xing had an unexpected harvest."
"How can you tell?" Qing Qing Qing Yu Zi was somewhat surprised.
Could there be anyone who understood Zhao Xing better than him?
"Uncle-Master, you don't understand this." Du Yun laughed: "If Zhao Xing were in trouble, he would be very calm instead."
"He would even appear very relaxed, because he would be thinking about how to bluff people; putting on that posture is preparation."
"Just like when he summoned the Nine Great Emperors in the Pang Pang Pang Pang Yuan Sea Ancient Kingdom."
"Now, this appearance is a great thing; it's the expression of being hit by a sudden surprise."
"Is that so?" The interval looked at Zhao Xing suspiciously, "Du Yun is right?"
Zhao Xing came to his senses and nodded slightly: "Brother Du knows me."
Qing Qing Qing Yu Zi whispered: "Since it's a great thing, does it mean the Dragon Ancestor allowed us to enter the Seal-Zen Land?"
Zhao Xing shook his head: "Not exactly."
"There are some things the Dragon Ancestor doesn't allow me to elaborate on; in short, without the God Emperor's Decree, one cannot enter the Seal-Zen Land of the corresponding period. Even if you enter, there is no benefit, only danger."
"Not just this period, the Seal-Zen Lands of the eras of the two God Emperors, Rui and Li, are the same."
"The Year Beast said that before only because he didn't know Gu Xiao was allowed in because he had the God Emperor's Decree."
"As for the reasons, don't ask."
Qing Qing Qing Yu Zi nodded.
Their entry into the Profound Yellow World was originally just to seek three things: learning techniques, exploring secrets, seeking treasures, and attaining the Dao in the heavens and earth.
If there was no benefit, then going there was meaningless.
Of course, Qing Qing Qing Yu Zi had a mission to explore secrets, but if he really couldn't go and Zhao Xing couldn't say, then there was nothing he could do, and the Hall Master wouldn't blame him.
In addition, Qing Qing Qing Yu Zi noticed that Zhao Xing mentioned that entering the Profound Yellow World during the three periods of the Feather Emperor, Rui Emperor, and Li Emperor was useless.
But he didn't mention the Void Ancestor and the Luo Emperor, which meant that the Seal-Zen Lands in the eras ruled by these two God Emperors were different.
For Old Qing, this was also a piece of intelligence, enough to report back to the Reincarnation Divine Hall.
It's just that he didn't know the specific time point, whether it was before or after, what benefits were in it, and how it was related to the Profound Yellow Roc Roc Roc Roc Change in the later Barren Domain era.
Qing Qing Qing Yu Zi was still thinking when Du Yun asked again: "Quick, tell us, what benefits did the Dragon Ancestor promise you?"
"The Dragon Ancestor will help me build an independent time-space territory."
"But I also have to work hard myself and lead the Dragon Race of the Barren Domain era to achieve some results."
Zhao Xing didn't elaborate on the Chaos Territory, nor did he mention Zhan Ming.
Things hadn't been accomplished yet, so there was no need to make a big fuss; low-key development was the royal road.
"What, an independent time-space territory?" Du Yun was shocked, and Qing Qing Qing Yu Zi also came to his senses.
An independent time-space territory was not something anyone could build; it not only required a large investment of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, but also a most critical technical problem—that is, digging a small path from the River of Time to form a tributary of the River of Time.
Jumping out of the River of Time was something God Generals could do; many God Generals without divine objects found it difficult to traverse time-space alone and had to rely on the time-space gate channels of major forces.
To perform engineering on the River of Time itself, individual power was hard to achieve.
Those time barriers on the River of Time were all built by major forces of different time-spaces.
Individuals wanting to influence the River of Time? I'm afraid only a few powerful God Kings or Dao Lord-level experts could do it.
"If I had known, I should have befriended the Profound Yellow Dragon Race back then." Qing Qing Qing Yu Zi sighed with regret.
He had also entered the Profound Yellow World back then, but he couldn't ascend at that time, so he gave up other thoughts and couldn't be bothered to be a Dragon King in the Dragon Court. He had only learned some Marquis-Roc Roc Roc Roc Change methods related to the Dragon Race.
Watching the nine Dragon God Kings enter, and seeing the Dragon Ancestor had no intention of summoning him, Qing Qing Qing Yu Zi couldn't help but sigh.
"We are all fellow countrymen from Profound Yellow; it's one thing to be treated differently, but at least give us some soup to drink. Sigh, it's chilling."
Entering the sheepfold but failing to get any wool—the greatest pain in the world is nothing more than this.
Du Yun laughed and patted his shoulder: "Let's go, Uncle-Master; didn't the Dragon Ancestor allow you to learn techniques here and cultivate in the Yang-Roc Roc Roc Roc Change Star? Be content and happy."
Qing Qing Qing Yu Zi shook his shoulder, threw the hand off, and glared at Du Yun.
This kid, no sense of propriety.
He really had to work hard; being surpassed by Zhao Xing was one thing, but Little Du was his proper nephew-disciple; if he were surpassed by Du Yun, how could he put on the airs of an Uncle-Master in the future?
"Swish~" Qing Qing Qing Yu Zi flew away; he wanted to wander around the Dragon Race's territory to see if he could find an opportunity to attain the Dao in the heavens and earth.
"Brother Zhao, I'll go wander around too." Du Yun said; he planned to wander around and then return to the Nine Nether Dao Palace in the Year Beast's belly to cultivate.
Zhao Xing waved his hand, but saw the interval didn't move.
"You don't want to walk around?"
The interval smiled: "No rush; on the way here, I heard you communicating with the nine Dragon God Kings, and one of them is a Dragon Musician; I want to ask him for advice."
The Dragon Race's musician system mostly came from the divine sound system of the Feather Emperor era, but they had also developed their own characteristics.
The interval had never seen the Dragon Race, so he was feeling a bit itchy to try.
"You're talking about the Dragon Musician God King 'Qu You'; his permanent residence should be in the Dragon Ritual Palace." Zhao Xing pointed in a certain direction.
"I will tell him."
"Good, I'm off." The interval bowed and decided to take the first step to go to the Dragon Ritual Palace to see.
Soon, the nine Dragon God Kings came out of the Ancestral Dragon Hall.
They had all received the Dragon Ancestor's instructions and would fully assist Zhao Xing in building the independent time-space territory.
"Brother Zhao." Huang Li greeted him enthusiastically, "The Dragon Ancestor has already given instructions to start work today; if there are any shortcomings in the future, I hope you will give us more guidance."
Huang Li's enthusiasm was not faked at all.
He was the Dragon Race's Minister of Agriculture; just after entering the Ancestral Dragon Hall, the Dragon Ancestor had spoken to him the most.
Thus, Huang Li also learned of the many legal theories Zhao Xing had created.
Huang Li was still specializing in the Earthly Advantage school; there was no need to communicate much, as he naturally had top-level favor!
"I wouldn't dare; I should be the one asking for advice." Zhao Xing was also very humble.
As for the other Dragon God Kings, Fu Ming was silent by nature, Zi was relatively cold, and Shui Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Yue and Qu You were relatively cheerful; although not as enthusiastic as Huang Li, they all had quite high favor for Zhao Xing.
Because Zhao Xing was the Emperor of the Dragon Race native to the Profound Yellow World in the Barren Domain era, and also a Dragon Emperor capable of attaining the Dao in the Sunset Barren Domain!
To accommodate Zhao Xing's habits, seven of the nine Dragon God Kings had transformed into human forms; for example, Shui Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Yue had already become a great beauty, wearing a green dress with a pair of tender green dragon horns on her head.
"Brother Zhao, I heard you stirred up the Water Cloud Land of the Ancestral Bright Dao Court and were chased by the Ancestral Bright Dao Lord, yet you actually counter-killed one of his subordinate God Kings?"
"Also, I heard from the Dragon Ancestor that you took away a Ten-Direction War Decree in a place called Divine Machine City; how did you manage that?"
Shui Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Yue's big eyes blinked; due to the Dragon Race's mission, she rarely left the Sunset Barren Domain, and only the Black Dragon Zi went out much; Shui Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Yue was truly very curious about Zhao Xing.
Zhao Xing was about to answer, but Huang Li bumped Shui Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Yue away with his butt: "Sister Shui Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Yue, I asked first; you go to the side."
"Huang Li!" Shui Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Yue glared at him, rolling up her sleeves, ready to take action.
"Hey, don't blame me." Huang Li dodged with a grin, while pulling Zhao Xing onto the cloud under his feet, "The Dragon Ancestor's order: for this period of time, I will plan the time-space territory with Brother Zhao; he belongs to me and Fu Ming."
"You, you—you jerk!" Shui Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Yue stomped her foot.
"Ang~" The Black Dragon Zi let out a low-pitched tone, interrupting the two siblings' playfulness, "Alright, all of you go do your own things."
The other Dragon God Kings left quickly, while Shui Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu Yue didn't forget to urge Zhao Xing to come find her at the Water Moon Palace when he had time.
The Black Dragon Zi's huge dragon head leaned close to the cloud: "Zhao Xing, people from the Ancestral Bright Dao Court have already searched outside the Sunset Barren Domain."
"But don't worry, as long as you don't leave the Barren Domain, you will be safe and sound."
"Yes, Brother Zi." Zhao Xing nodded.
No matter how powerful the Ancestral Bright Dao Lord's influence was, it couldn't affect the place guarded by the Dragon Ancestor; the Sunset Barren Domain was a natural barrier, and the Dragon Race had a huge advantage.
"In the first Yang Year, you will follow Fu Ming and Qu You to plan the time-space territory; if you need manpower and materials, just send a message to me. Starting from the second Yang Year, you will follow me to learn the Dragon Race's spells and martial arts."
"I see you haven't awakened your clan's innate divine skills yet; although you have infinite potential, you haven't developed it."
The Dragon Race's innate divine skills?
Zhao Xing was stunned; he didn't know what level the Dragon Race bloodline of the Feather Emperor era was.
"The Dragon Ancestor was able to kill his way out from countless races and be favored by the Feather Emperor to guard this place because we are strong enough." The Black Dragon 'Zi' said lightly.
"You'll understand later; go."
"Yes." Zhao Xing then followed Fu Ming and Huang Li out of the Ancestral Dragon Hall.
Along the way, Huang Li enthusiastically introduced the Dragon Race territory, and Zhao Xing was also amazed; in the Sunset Barren Domain, where the Great Dao suppression was extremely severe, there was still a pure land with abundant spiritual energy.
Most of the young dragons he saw were at the Demigod realm; he didn't see a single one at the Reincarnation realm.
Zhao Xing thought of the Black Dragon Zi again; among all the Dragon God Kings, the Black Dragon Zi's size was the largest, and he was a head taller than all his brothers and sisters.
"Brother Huang Li, what level is Brother Zi exactly?"
"Big Brother is the strongest among all the brothers and sisters, and he is also the Dragon Ancestor's first offspring." Huang Li mentioned Zi with some awe, "He followed the Father God to fight very early on, before any of us were born."
"Later, he participated in the Heaven-Reaching Assembly with the Father God and even fought for the Feather Emperor."
"If you ask how strong Big Brother is, I don't know."
"Because I've never seen Big Brother use his full strength."
"I only know that even if the eight of us added together, Big Brother could knock us down with one finger."
Zhao Xing was somewhat shocked; the Black Dragon 'Zi' was actually this strong, one against eight, and so easily?
Seeing Zhao Xing silent, Huang Li thought he was worried about something: "Don't worry, Big Brother said you are safe and sound, so you are absolutely safe and sound."
"That Ancestral Bright Dao Lord, I heard Big Brother mention that during the Seal-Zen Ceremony, his seat couldn't even see the Father God's tail."
"Let's rest assured and build the independent time-space; Big Brother will handle everything!" Huang Li was full of confidence in Big Brother Zi.
"Good." Zhao Xing nodded with a smile.
"In the Feather Emperor era, the Minister of Agriculture system was prosperous; we're almost at my territory; come, come, let's sit and discuss the Dao first."
