Chapter 633: God-tier Straw Man Technique!
"Land reclamation has a unique significance for the Si Nong." Long Shen Wang Huang Li and Zhao Xing sat opposite each other, the dragon horns atop his head projecting a star map of the Sunset Desolate Domain.
"In the vast majority of the universe, the decay of the origin is a gradual process; the transformation of seas into mulberry fields does not happen in a single day. Only the Desolate Domain forms in an extremely short time, appearing like two different worlds when compared to the outside."
"When the Feather Emperor wished to expand the survival range of the myriad races, the first thing he had to solve was the multiple Desolate Domain belts distributed throughout the primordial heaven and earth."
"The Si Nong Gods were highly valued during this period and quickly provided a preliminary planning map, using the Desolate Domain belts as boundaries to divide the primordial heaven and earth into the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands."
"Sufficient buffer zones were left on the periphery of the Desolate Domain belts, and the Dao Lords of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands had the duty to prevent the spread of the Desolate Domain."
"There were a total of over seven thousand Si Nong Gods who planned the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, and a massive amount of legal theory and sharp tools emerged during this period. For instance, the Four-Stage Theory of the Universe and the Universal Earth Vein Era Theory that you, Brother Zhao, are familiar with, were both perfected at this time."
Zhao Xing nodded. The framework of the Si Nong system was established during the Feather Emperor era; before this, the system was not considered mature, and debates would even arise over whether the Straw Man Technique belonged to the Ritualist or Si Nong schools.
The Hou Hou Bian Technique, Earth Transformation Technique, the variant techniques of the Self-Nature school, the Life school, and the Extreme Dao Mother Tree had not yet received formal naming. Spells had even been created, only to be branded as uncontrollable evil arts.
This was mainly because there was no legal theory to support them.
A group of Si Nong who originally only knew the Divine Splendor Technique, Divine Foundation Technique, and World Technique, and who were perceived as only knowing how to farm with gentle temperaments, could suddenly transform into world-destroying monsters and control plant legions—it was simply terrifying.
Fear and the unknown naturally led to suppression, relegating them to evil arts.
During the Feather Emperor era, the Si Nong system reached its peak. The subsequent Luo Emperor era began a downward trend, especially after Gu Xiao hid the stars. The Heavenly Time school was the first to collapse; without the illumination of the Pole Stars, a large number of god-tier plant species went extinct and could no longer be born, and the Self-Nature school also began to decline.
The Earthly Advantage school also experienced a split, though fortunately, it fared slightly better than the other two schools.
However, the situation improved relatively after the god-tier began to shuttle through time and space on a large scale.
Because they could shuttle through time and space to find many precious troop types and discover some severed inheritances.
"The Dragon race collected many Si Nong inheritances. This even includes the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands planning map and some supporting tools—of course, it was mainly I who collected them."
Huang Li's smile was somewhat smug; he paused deliberately, as if waiting for Zhao Xing's praise.
"Inheriting the lost teachings for the sages of the past, Brother Huang Li, your merit is boundless!" Zhao Xing exclaimed in admiration.
This flattery was very well-placed, especially coming from Zhao Xing's mouth.
Although Huang Li said "not at all, not at all," the corners of his mouth could not be suppressed.
He had originally wanted to ask for Zhao Xing's advice on legal theory, especially the Origin Theory of the Dao-Manifesting Universe, because Huang Li had never left the Feather Emperor era and could not imagine what the New Generation era looked like.
But after being praised by Zhao Xing a few times, he quickly floated away and decided to take Zhao Xing to see his treasury first.
"Brother Zhao, come, come, let me take you to see my treasure vault." Huang Li pulled Zhao Xing's hand and landed on a small piece of land.
Although the area of the continent was small, it contained many blessed caves.
It was distinctly different from the territories of other Dragon God Kings seen on the road.
Some dragons' territories believed that bigger was better and more was beautiful.
They planted many flowers and plants, precious trees, and raised many pets, with an extremely vigorous life aura, but at a glance, they were like nouveau riche—completely inconsistent with Zhao Xing's aesthetics and lacking harmony.
In Huang Li's territory, the dragons, architecture, and plants all secretly conformed to the Dao of Nature. It was a feast for the eyes.
"Brother Huang Li is indeed extraordinary. Your territory secretly conforms to the supreme principles of the Dao, reflecting your profound understanding of the Si Nong Dao everywhere."
"Hahahaha, as expected, you are the one who understands me." Huang Li could no longer hold back and laughed loudly.
"Wu Yue, Lu Ming, and the others still say I'm small-minded. Only Brother Zhao can see it."
Although his relationship with his other blood brothers was also very good, they could not be called soulmates.
Zhao Xing, however, was both a brother and a soulmate!
"Brother, look here." Huang Li introduced it to Zhao Xing in high spirits.
Because the Dragon race did not vie for hegemony, rarely communicated with the outside world, and could not leave the Feather Emperor era, Huang Li was usually very lonely.
His only hobby was collecting and building his territory.
He pulled Zhao Xing through one place after another.
"These are all Silk Crystal Mother Trees? Truly amazing. Planted on this fire vein, without the need for extra arrays, they surpass arrays and secretly conform to the Earth-Treasury Dao."
"Eh, there is clearly no water source here, and the water vein is not apparent, yet why are there rivers? Please enlighten me, Brother Huang Li."
"Oh, it turns out to be the illumination of the Water Moon Star."
"Brother Huang Li, you placed a Layered Boundary Mountain here and used two types of Artisan school magic beasts to devour it. I have a slightly different insight; perhaps it could—"
"Yes, yes, yes, your method is better! Hahaha."
"—"
Walking and stopping along the way, although only three short years had passed, Huang Li's favorability toward Zhao Xing had already been maxed out.
Zhao Xing did not just praise blindly; when he encountered problems, he would also point them out.
His talent for extreme pulse control, along with his legal theory, was not just for show; it could truly be applied to practice.
Especially in dealing with Layered Boundary Mountains and inactive earth veins, Zhao Xing's methods could often propose better solutions.
Huang Li simply forgot everything, even forgetting his own brother, the Fu Ming Dragon God.
After being a tag-along dragon for three years, the Fu Ming Dragon God finally couldn't hold back: "Fifth Brother, are you still going to work?"
Weren't they here to discuss the first step of the planning draft?
Why were they just window shopping here?
Huang Li was interrupted and was very unhappy.
"Go, go, go, you go play in the Qianji Hall for a while; we'll come find you later."
Having said that, he pushed Fu Ming away with a slap.
Fu Ming left in a depressed mood.
Huang Li then pulled Zhao Xing to the front of a large black mountain.
Only a small blade of grass grew on the black mountain.
It looked unremarkable, but in reality, this place belonged to Huang Li's treasury.
When Huang Li unfolded his technique, the scene before them changed.
The entire mountain became colorful and radiant, dazzling Zhao Xing's eyes.
As expected, Huang Li was still a dragon; as long as they were dragons, they liked these golden, glittering treasures.
"Brother Huang Li's collection is truly rich."
"Hehe." Huang Li laughed smugly: "So-so, it's still a bit short of being all-encompassing."
"Brother, I heard from the Father God that you cultivate all three schools?"
"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded.
"Amazing." Huang Li gave a thumbs up, "I've lived for so long and have only seen one Si Nong God who cultivated all three origins."
"Oh? Who is it?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Shu Ji." Huang Li said: "He was an important figure in planning the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands map. Unfortunately, he was torn apart by the chaotic river vortex in the Hongze Land."
Shu Ji? Zhao Xing seemed to have seen this name on the Tianya Stele.
The Tianya Stele in front of the Hongze Heavenly Fog Sea mainly recorded the deeds of Si Nong sages, and Shu Ji's ranking was quite high.
He didn't expect that he had already fallen.
"A pity." Zhao Xing also sighed.
He had also never seen a Si Nong who cultivated all three schools. If he could meet one, Zhao Xing would very much like to sit and discuss the Dao with them.
This path was too lonely; so far, he had not seen a Si Nong God who cultivated all three schools.
"I collected quite a few of Shu Ji's secret techniques, and some Dao books are unique copies."
"If they are flipped through once, they will collapse, so I have been reluctant to read them."
"You came just in time."
Huang Li only cultivated the techniques of the Earthly Advantage school; he had not cultivated the techniques of the Self-Nature school or the Heavenly Time school, only cultivating some spells from them.
The divine power and talent of the Dragon race allowed Huang Li to cast spells from the other two schools, but he had no confidence when facing those unique copies.
"Unique copies?" Zhao Xing immediately became interested. "Brother Huang Li was actually able to get unique copies?"
"Of course." Huang Li smiled: "The process of dividing the Hongze Heaven and Land was the longest-lasting."
"During the formation of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, the Honggu Heaven and Hongze Land were the last to be formed, and they were not completely finished until the middle of the Feather Emperor era."
"The Dragon race's talent is adept at dealing with primordial chaotic rivers, so we also participated in the great project of opening the Honggu Heaven and splitting the Hongze Land. Later, we lived in the Sunset Desolate Domain of the Hongze Land. Father God became the Dao Lord guarding this place."
"Because of this, the Dragon race had a lot of dealings with the Si Nong."
"So that's how it is."
Zhao Xing suddenly understood.
He remembered the Dragon Court in the Xuanhuang World where he had seen the portrait of the Dragon Ancestor opening the heavens in a painting, and even created the "Ancestral Dragon Transformation" from it, in which the "Ancestral Dragon Roar" move was created based on the sound emitted by the Dragon race.
He originally thought it was the Xuanhuang World that was opened, but he didn't expect it to be the Honggu Heaven and Hongze Land.
Huang Li was even a witness. If Zhao Xing had fallen into the Hongze Land from the other end of the Heavenly River, perhaps he could have encountered another "Dragon Stone Stele," which recorded the story of the Dragon Ancestor guarding the chaotic river with his five children.
As for the four children born later, they had no chance to see the grand occasion of the opening, because the opening had already ended by then.
"Shu Ji, the God King, was younger than Father God and slightly older than Eldest Brother. He cultivated all three schools and was one of the main leaders in opening the heavens and splitting the earth in the chaotic river at that time."
Huang Li led Zhao Xing into the mountain belly and arrived at a large hall.
They first worshipped the statue outside the plaza before walking in.
This could be considered a cenotaph Huang Li had set up for Shu Ji.
The back hall displayed many of Shu Ji's items, mainly Dao books.
"Zhao Xing, look." Huang Li picked up a book from a display stand, "This is the 'Ling Mountain Rearing Theory' created by Shu Ji."
"Before him, the mining of spiritual essence had no method, and the essence and spiritual beauty would wither after being mined."
"Before Shu Ji, although there were Mountain Opening Techniques and Mountain Sealing Techniques, they were not perfect and were often used for fighting and killing enemies."
"After Shu Ji, the Mountain Opening Technique and Mountain Sealing Technique were formally put into the Ling Mountain Technique. What kind of mountain range should be sealed for how long, and what period to open it so as not to affect its foundation—all were explained clearly."
Zhao Xing took the Dao book to examine it. This Dao book had no great power; it was just some theory. Looking at it from a later perspective, the Mountain Opening Technique and Mountain Sealing Technique were more perfect than Shu Ji's, but he was fascinated by it.
Because this was the original, with many annotations on it, which were Shu Ji's mental journey during creation.
This had great reference value for him.
"Worthy of being the work of a Si Nong sage." Zhao Xing sighed and put it back on the display stand.
"Look at this."
"And over here."
Huang Li pulled Zhao Xing to watch the collection; most were theories, but the preciousness lay in the fact that they were written by Shu Ji himself.
There were even annotations from several generations of people later.
Finally arriving at the end of the exhibition hall, Zhao Xing saw many bird-like mechanical beasts on the ground, jumping between the display stands.
"Mechanical beast 'Bookworm Birds'?" Zhao Xing looked at the exquisite mechanical birds.
"Not bad, used for catching worms." Huang Li said, "The most troublesome thing about preserving Dao books is not fearing people stealing them, but fearing bookworms eating them."
Bookworms often originate from book repositories and can be artificially raised, but most are wild.
They have no attack power against people, but they have a very magical principle.
The more advanced the Dao book, the easier it is for bookworms to be born.
Moreover, adult bookworms possess a shuttle ability, capable of shuttling through time and space and appearing in any book repository.
It is rumored that this ability of bookworms can rival the intensity of 【Dao Traveling the Heavens】, because no Dharma realm or sealed treasure vault can absolutely defend against bookworms.
As long as they are left for long enough, such situations will always occur, and there are even rumors that the personal book repository of the Rui Emperor was gnawed.
Bookworm Birds are specifically for eating bookworms. After having them, the situation of being gnawed became much less, but it was still not absolutely defended.
"I once collected seven unique copies." Huang Li pointed to the display stand in front.
Zhao Xing looked, and four of the seven cabinets were empty.
"There were four books that I read myself, but I only learned one. The other three collapsed." Huang Li said regretfully: "Since then, I have not dared to read the remaining three."
"I wonder what the remaining three are?" Zhao Xing asked.
"'Four Seasons Straw Man Technique', 'Wind River Earth Palace', 'Hongze World', created by Shu Ji."
Hearing these three names, Zhao Xing's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Just from the names, one could hear that Shu Ji, this Si Nong God who cultivated all three schools, was reconciling the spells of the three schools.
These three types were even very likely to belong to the category of Dao-Proving spells.
Especially the Four Seasons Straw Man Technique, which made him unable to move his gaze away.
The god-tier Straw Man Technique he had been searching for bitterly could not be found even in the Dark Hall, but now he saw it in Huang Li's treasury.
Listening to the name, Shu Ji's Straw Man Technique seemed to have integrated the Dao of the Heavenly Time school.
Huang Li walked to the display stand, took out all three unique copies, and handed them to Zhao Xing.
"Brother, I give them to you."
Zhao Xing very much wanted to reach out, but still shook his head: "Brother Huang Li, this is too precious; I cannot accept it."
"You cultivate all three schools; it is only right that you inherit them." Huang Li was also somewhat reluctant, but still forced them over: "I am counting on you to teach me after you learn them."
Zhao Xing felt that the Dao books were very heavy; it was a heaviness of the great power of the Dao pressing on the soul.
Because the technique itself was too powerful, cultivating it would affect the balance of the universe, leading to situations where it would not be tolerated by time and space.
Powerful Dao books were like Free Gods; they had to undergo tribulations!
There was only one chance to read them; after opening them, whether one learned them or not, they would be destroyed.
"Brother Huang Li, you have too much confidence in me." Zhao Xing smiled bitterly, "There is only one chance; I may not necessarily be able to learn them."
Zhao Xing was under a lot of pressure; he also dared not say he would definitely be able to learn them. If they collapsed, wouldn't that be failing Huang Li's good intentions?
"You are the one with the most hope of learning them that I have ever met. If even you cannot learn them, I don't know who else to find." Huang Li was helpless. "I can't just let them gather dust here forever."
Zhao Xing's heart moved: "I do have a way to make the unique copies not unique."
"Oh?" Huang Li became interested. "Who do you say?"
Taishi City, inside the Book Repository Realm.
Bowei casually plucked out a fat bookworm and ate it without blinking, continuing to read the Dao book.
He was in the core area, which contained not only the "First History" recorded by the True History Party.
There were also many unique copies of spells, martial arts, music techniques, etc.
Among the Seven True Monarchs, only Bowei could freely enter and exit here, which was unanimously recognized by the other six True Monarchs.
Because Bowei entering the core area would not destroy the unique copies; instead, he could rub and copy the unique copies.
This was equivalent to increasing the number of times they could be learned.
And in the less than a thousand years that Bowei had been in Taishi City, twelve types of unique copies had been removed from the verge of collapse because they had been rubbed and copied by Bowei and were no longer unique copies.
This move also made Bowei the seventh True Monarch.
Even though Bowei had not yet proven the Dao once at that time.
"The Sunset Desolate Domain is the periphery of the Xuanhuang World and is also the place left behind by the opening of the chaotic river."
"Why can Zhao Xing defy the five principles?"
"Relying solely on Wei Ling Tianchen's Heaven-Mending Technique, it shouldn't be enough to transmit across two worlds."
Bowei's fair and slender fingers flipped through a Dao book; this was not a secret technique, but a history book, belonging to the First History record.
Due to time and space shuttling, history books became chaotic, and there were multiple reincarnation eras in the same time period, which also created multiple histories. It was extremely difficult to restore some events from history books.
However, the True History Party here had preserved a lot, and what Bowei was reading was the history of the opening of the Honggu Heaven and Hongze Land.
"In the Qianfan Galaxy, he shook the five great giant sun stars with the Four Seasons Boundary Gate to calm the natural disasters, and then proved the Dao in the Sunset Desolate Domain—in the dark, he and I have a destined causality."
Bowei flipped through it for a long time, confirming that Zhao Xing and he had the causality of proving the Dao together, but where it would manifest, he was not yet clear.
"There should be an opportunity to go and ask him." Bowei thought.
He left the Book Repository Realm, but did not see Yu Mo and did not know where he had gone.
Bowei did not take it to heart and left on his own.
In a room not far away, the old man Shu Ji crawled out of a book.
He was trembling and sweating profusely, as if he had just experienced a catastrophe.
As he crawled out of the book, the book seemed to become thinner.
"Dao Lord Zuming is truly a fool; he doesn't go to find trouble with Zhao Xing and the Boundless God King, but keeps staring at me."
The old man Shu Ji also had bitterness he couldn't speak of.
Over the past few years, he had been to some places, leaving some traces, and even had several registered disciples captured.
Following these causalities, Dao Lord Zuming attacked personally, forcing the old man Shu Ji to hide from the wind in the treasure book.
The ability of a Fate Master was not in fighting; resistance was also easy to expose, and he didn't dare to make a sound after suffering a loss.
Because he had already "faked his death," he had briefly survived a catastrophe.
"Fortunately, my closing disciple is fine."
The old man Shu Ji thought, he had also selected a successor; those captured were all abandoned pieces, only the closing disciple was prepared for the Ten Directions Mountain.
He was abandoned by the Ten Phases Gate and could no longer go to the Ten Directions Mountain; the disciple was his only hope.
The old man Shu Ji returned to the library, lurking as usual, but suddenly saw a paper crane fly over and land on his shoulder.
"True Monarch Bowei?"
"Yu Mo, come with me to a place."
"——"
Zhao Xing arrived at the border of the Sunset Desolate Domain and sent a letter to Bowei via causality.
Afterward, he returned to the core area.
He dared not mess with Shu Ji's three unique copies; for the sake of insurance, he decided to invite Bowei to come personally to see if they could be rubbed and copied.
Afterward, he began to do serious business with Huang Li and Fu Ming, planning the construction of an independent time-space territory.
"To build a time-space territory, first we must open up a stable area in the Sunset Desolate Domain as your territory for the manifestation layer, Brother Zhao."
"This stage is the opening of the material layer."
"The second stage is the reclamation of the River of Time."
"The time tensor of the Desolate Domain is different. To ensure that one cannot find your independent time-space territory when jumping out of the River of Time elsewhere, you need a large piece of territory."
"I think the area where you previously proved the Dao in heaven and earth can be used as the foundation for the material layer."
It was the Dragon God King Fu Ming who spoke; he was usually taciturn, but when talking about construction, he spoke endlessly and had a sense of unquestionable majesty.
"After the base city is built, your future followers and subordinates, even if they are not god-tier, can enter the territory in the independent time-space through your place of proving the Dao."
"After the second stage is completed, the third stage is to build a Time-Space Gate."
"Traveling through the River of Time is a basic condition for a large force."
"Without the ability to descend across time and space, influence will always be limited."
"The establishment of the Time-Space Gate requires moving many materials. Eighty percent can be provided by the Dragon race, but some materials need to be found by yourself."
"Once built, you can avoid other forces and engage in short-range time-space shuttling. If your subordinates and followers go out to train and adventure, they won't have to spend money unjustly and can reach a certain time zone directly through the Time-Space Gate."
Zhao Xing nodded. Whether he went from the Divine Machine City to the Shiyi Great World or to the Qianyu Great World, it was the Boundless God King who opened the gate from inside the Divine Hall for him to enter.
The Boundless God King also often entered and exited through those few gates, twice to capture the God General Xufeng and the God General Lianyin.
Without a Time-Space Gate, it would be impossible to be so convenient.
"Seventh Brother, so we only need to be responsible for the first stage of reclamation and the materials for the Time-Space Gate in the third stage?" Huang Li asked.
"Yes." Fu Ming nodded, "The Dragon race's territory looks not small, but in reality, there is very little usable land left; it is impossible to divide such a large piece for Brother Zhao."
"So we must carry out reclamation."
Zhao Xing nodded. The planning for building an independent time-space territory is simply three steps.
One, reclamation; two, building a city; three, building a time-space gate.
The Dragon Ancestor promised to help build an independent time-space territory, with the anchor point in the Sunset Desolate Domain, and the land of reclamation is the place of anchoring.
This process is not simple to say, nor is it difficult to say.
The part Zhao Xing needs to participate in is actually not much, which made him feel embarrassed.
"Listening to Seventh Brother's meaning, I only participate in a very small part, is it—"
"This is not my meaning." Fu Ming shook his head, "It is Eldest Brother's meaning."
"Eldest Brother said that you only need to participate in the reclamation during the first Yang year, and follow him to cultivate during the second Yang year to awaken the Dragon Emperor's innate divine skill."
"So you don't need to worry too much."
The black dragon "Zi" is simply a proper domineering eldest brother.
Except for a small amount of affairs that required Zhao Xing's effort, the rest of the things were handled by the Dragon race.
Even the part that required effort, if it weren't for the Dragon Ancestor having a bit of a test in it, it probably wouldn't have needed him.
After all, the Dragon Ancestor deeply participated in the opening of the Honggu Heaven and Hongze Land; this experience could not be found a second time in the heavens.
Whether there were more Si Nong Gods or fewer Si Nong Gods made no difference at all.
"Yes. I understand, I will listen to Eldest Brother."
Zhao Xing obeyed obediently.
The preliminary planning was determined in the seventh boundary star year, after which Fu Ming led the Fu Ming Divine Hall to begin preparations.
Because the Dragon race had not been lively for a long time and usually could not leave their own territory to walk around everywhere.
But building a time-space territory for Zhao Xing did not count as violating the Feather Emperor's order.
That was used by the Dragon race native to Xuanhuang; what did it have to do with the Dragon race of the Sunset Desolate Domain?
The enthusiasm of the Dragon race directly frightened Zhao Xing.
Ship after ship of treasures were pulled to the place of proving the Dao. Except for the black dragon Zi, the other Dragon God Kings even personally helped move stars and shift moons.
Materials and manpower were continuously transported for thirty years.
And in the tenth year, Zhao Xing felt that his place of proving the Dao was growing stronger.
"Assuming the original heaven and earth gave me a blessing of 5, and it dropped to 1 when I left the territory, now that the Dragon race has moved so many treasures and star lands over, my heaven and earth blessing has at least tripled."
"No wonder in the era of hegemony, so many god-tier forces were fighting and grabbing territory."
"Territory is strength!"
Zhao Xing finally understood why God Kings and Dao Lords wanted to conquer each other.
The stronger the place of proving the Dao, the stronger one becomes!
Conversely, the smaller the range of the place of proving the Dao and the less the total origin, the weaker one becomes.
If one completely loses their territory? It is even possible to fall and become a Free God, just like the God General Lianyin.
The formal reclamation work began in the fifty-seventh year.
Zhao Xing returned to the area where he proved the Dao, which was the place where he sacrificed the Sun Dongyan Jue.
This place belonged to the periphery of the Sunset Desolate Domain, but now it had changed greatly.
It was full of vitality, the spiritual energy was constrained by the four-party heavenly passes, flowing only within this star system, and the void turbulence had turned into a spiritual river.
Zhao Xing named the largest continent in the center Longxuan Continent.
It was also the "manifestation layer base" of the independent time-space territory in the first stage.
But there were still many problems to be solved, because to expand, the current territory was far from enough.
So Zhao Xing had to solve the Desolate Domain phenomena existing in the Sunset Desolate Domain, such as chaotic rivers, Layered Boundary Mountains, void vortexes, and time-space tears.
In the eighty-fifth year, Zhao Xing called Qing Qing Yu Zi and Du Yun to Longxuan Continent.
"When I was young, I also reclaimed land, but building a time-space territory is a major project even for gods."
"You pulled me over, but I can't be of any use."
Qing Qing Yu Zi and Du Yun stood on the clouds, standing side by side with Zhao Xing.
"If you don't know, you can learn." Zhao Xing smiled. "You cultivate the Dao of mechanical arrays and also have quite a bit of practical reclamation experience. Fu Ming is the ancestor of the Dragon race's Artisan Gods; don't you want to learn more experience?"
"Huang Li and Fu Ming said that building an independent time-space territory only has the greatest difficulty in the later project of moving the River of Time."
"The projects in the early and middle stages don't have anything difficult to understand; even those in the Dao-Domain Realm can be pulled over to work."
"Doesn't that make it hard labor?" Qing Qing Yu Zi was not very willing, "For such hard labor, you should call Du Yun."
"Uncle-Master, what kind of talk is that." Du Yun said dissatisfiedly: "Is it our Qi school's fate to do this kind of hard labor?"
Zhao Xing smiled: "How did you get infected with the Heavenly Time school's disease? Looking down on reclamation and construction?"
"Not really." Qing Qing Yu Zi said: "I've been wandering around the Dragon race's territory these past few years and have had some inspiration for proving the Dao in heaven and earth."
"Any clues?"
"Not yet."
"That's perfect." Zhao Xing pointed to the vast starry sky in front, "If you have no clues for proving the Dao with both matter and law, you can first study proving the Dao with both yin and yang heaven and earth."
"Uncle-Master, I think Brother Zhao makes sense." Du Yun also persuaded: "Don't forget, Zhao Xing's Eight Techniques of Layered Boundary Mountain and Six Treatises of Annihilating Stars were all created during the reclamation period."
"Kuang Chuan's Minggu Theory was also realized from the Heavenly Desolate Domain."
Qing Qing Yu Zi's eyes lit up.
That's right, the Eight Techniques of Layered Boundary Mountain, the Three-Era Boundary Theory, and the Six Treatises of Annihilating Stars in Zhao Xing's Origin Theory of the Dao-Manifesting Universe were all created during this period.
The Si Nong's reclamation and city building would comprehensively apply what they had learned. Perhaps this was an opportunity to prove the Dao in heaven and earth!
"Zhao Xing, regardless of whether Uncle-Master is willing to do it, I am willing to come."
Du Yun rubbed his hands.
Qing Qing Yu Zi narrowed his eyes: "Saying I'm not willing? From today on, I'll live in the Fu Ming Divine Hall!"
Zhao Xing smiled and continued to drive the clouds to lead the two forward.
The reclamation stage was expected to take four hundred years. By the one hundred and fiftieth year, Zhao Xing's place of proving the Dao had already expanded three times from the beginning.
At this time, Zhao Xing's divine soul already had signs of breaking through, and his divine body was growing slowly.
"In the place of proving the Dao, my strength is already fully comparable to a God King."
"If I leave the territory, I am still not as good as a God King." Zhao Xing thought to himself. "However, with the Boundless Divine Machine, I won't be without the power to fight."
Previously killing Sun Dongyan Jue mainly relied on the heart defense of the Seven-Husband, as well as the heart memory of the coachman.
After Zhao Xing broke Sun Dongyan Jue's defense with the Qi Luck Technique, he himself had no attack means sufficient to kill Sun Dongyan Jue.
Now it was different; even if he left the place of proving the Dao, he could still obtain blessings, just slightly weaker, not to the point of being beaten by a God King.
"In the past one hundred and fifty years, the Zuming Dao Court has sent people twice, but unfortunately, there was no opportunity for me to take action." Zhao Xing looked at the intelligence from the Dark Hall.
Although Dao Lord Zuming believed that the old man Shu Ji was playing tricks behind the scenes, he did not intend to let Zhao Xing go.
After Sun Dongyan Jue died, he quickly sent two more waves of people to the Sunset Desolate Domain to hunt him down.
However, soon, Dao Lord Zuming did not send anyone else.
Because the black dragon Zi forbade the people of the Zuming Dao Court from setting foot in the Sunset Desolate Domain.
This led Dao Lord Zuming to vent his anger on the old man Shu Ji, even personally casting causality secret techniques to beat the old man Shu Ji.
Attempting to regain some face from here.
"Dao Lord Zuming didn't send anyone else, but he didn't cancel the bounty on me, and even wanted to go to the Desolate Domain era to capture my friends and relatives?" Zhao Xing looked at the intelligence, a flash of anger in his eyes. "This is not a Lord of the Dao Court; it is clearly an evil god."
"It seems I have to take the Great Zhou away as soon as possible—why hasn't Bowei come yet?"
Zhao Xing's current mobility was limited; without the Straw Man Technique, he dared not shuttle through time and space in the form of a divine origin avatar.
The divine origin avatar method would disperse the main body's combat power. Once dispersed, Zhao Xing would not have the confidence to fight a God King.
If caught, it would be a free gift, and all the treasures on his body would be exploded.
If Bowei came and rubbed and copied the Four Seasons Straw Man Technique, his mobility would explode.
In the one hundred and sixty-third year, Zhao Xing did not wait for Bowei, but waited for Qing Qing Yu Zi.
He crawled out of a boundary mountain, looking somewhat exhausted, and found Zhao Xing.
"Zhao Xing, I've reached a bottleneck."
"I know."
After the Battle of the Divine Machine City and eating many divine fruits on the Water Cloud Continent, Old Qing had reached the limit of a Free God General in all aspects.
Instead, it was himself whose divine body had not yet reached the limit.
"With my aptitude, wanting to naturally cultivate to the God King level is impossible in this lifetime." Qing Qing Yu Zi said somewhat melancholically.
"You are different; whether it is your divine body or your comprehension, you are much stronger than me."
"In these hundred-plus years, your range of proving the Dao has expanded; becoming a God King in the future is a certainty."
To cultivate the origin and become a Free God King, the divine body needs further transformation, requiring the supplementation of origin objects of a high level.
Or it is naturally powerful, such as the Nine Great Dragon God Kings, who were born of the Dragon Ancestor, with naturally strong bloodlines and powerful innate divine skills, which is a manifestation.
Zhao Xing had four innate divine skills when he became a god, and even Du Yun had one, while Qing Qing Yu Zi had none; this is the difference in foundation.
The second condition: Divine Soul.
For the divine soul to transform, it needs to comprehend the Dao and reach an extremely profound level; the basic characteristic is to "create a God King-level secret technique."
This depends on comprehension.
Old Qing's comprehension could be called upper-middle, but not top-tier.
If he wants to create a God King-level secret technique, without special encounters, it is also hopeless in this lifetime.
"You pulled me here to reclaim land and build a city out of good intentions, but I know my own comprehension and aptitude are just like this." Qing Qing Yu Zi sighed.
"Staying in the Desolate Domain, you have always had insights, while I stayed in the Layered Boundary Mountain, only feeling annoyed."
"It's only been a short time; you are a bit impatient." Zhao Xing said.
Qing Qing Yu Zi nodded: "If a God King-level secret technique cannot be created, can a method of proving the Dao in heaven and earth be created?"
"If it's just mastering two or three lines of law, it won't be of much help for me to become a God King; it just improves combat power in certain areas and time periods."
"What's more, I am a single Heavenly Time school Si Nong God, and there is an insurmountable mountain in front of me."
The insurmountable mountain is Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao hid the Pole Stars, and the impact was profound. Heavenly Time-type treasures became extremely scarce because without Pole Stars, there was a lack of Heavenly Time origin, making it very difficult to give birth to high-level treasures of corresponding levels.
If Qing Qing Yu Zi wants to cultivate the origin and become a Free God King.
He needs high-level origin objects to improve his divine body. He is a Heavenly Time school Si Nong God, and the supplementation he needs is also Heavenly Time-type origin treasures.
For example, the flat peaches and three-soul fruits eaten on the Water Cloud Continent, which also contained a small amount of Heavenly Time origin.
However, this stuff is very difficult to obtain, and it is a special tribute of the Dao Court; it is impossible for them to sneak into the Water Cloud Continent a second time.
Of course, a better way is to find the Pole Stars and be illuminated by the Pole Stars for a period of time.
Secondly, the comprehension of the Heavenly Time Dao is deep enough to create a God King-level secret technique of the Heavenly Time school. His divine soul will naturally transform to the God King level.
Zhao Xing's divine soul reaching the God King level is already imminent, but Qing Qing Yu Zi hasn't even seen that obstacle yet.
"Don't be discouraged, and it's not just you." Zhao Xing said. "If it's a Fate Master, using origin objects to improve the divine body also requires extremely high-level fate-type heavenly materials and earthly treasures."
"It is also necessary to create a fate-type God King secret technique; such a secret technique can even manipulate the causality of other God Kings."
"Yes, it's all difficult." Qing Qing Yu Zi smiled. "Fate Masters mostly have to reach the Ten Directions Mountain to obtain the opportunity."
Du Yun flew into the hall at this time: "What are you talking about?"
Zhao Xing smiled: "We were talking about, perhaps God Venerable Qing Qing Yu Zi can have a flash of inspiration during this process of building an independent time-space territory, prove the Dao in heaven and earth, and transmit across two worlds."
If he can create legal theory and transmit across two worlds, Qing Qing Yu Zi's aptitude will undergo a huge change.
Staying in the place of proving the Dao for more days of cultivation, his divine soul will definitely be able to reach the God King level.
As for the divine body, it has blessings within the range and time period of proving the Dao, and can also be comparable to a God King.
This is a true God King, and there is no divine tribulation.
Of course, if he leaves the range of proving the Dao, he can only exert the strength of a Free God.
When the Boundless God King was trapped in the Divine Machine City by the Ten Directions War Order, he couldn't exert his strength and couldn't solve the six great Marshal True Monarchs; this is the reason.
The current Zhao Xing is somewhat similar to the God General period of the Boundless God King. If he stays in the proving Dao area of the Sunset Desolate Domain, he can possess combat power comparable to a God King.
But that area is not large, and the time range of transmitting across two worlds is only calculated from the Demon God Era to the end of the Feather World era.
"Is Uncle-Master that fast?" Du Yun was somewhat surprised.
Qing Qing Yu Zi didn't speak, maintaining an unfathomable appearance.
He could tell the truth to Zhao Xing, but in front of his nephew, he still had to maintain the demeanor of an Uncle-Master.
"Du Yun, where did you return from?"
"I just took a stroll at the border." Du Yun said, "I heard from the Dragon race's patrol team that there are always petty people spying, so I went to take a look."
"And the result, spying?"
"What else could it be." Du Yun sat down and swallowed a fruit whole, "From the Zuming Dao Court."
"The thief doesn't change." Qing Qing Yu Zi smiled: "He wants to capture you to be a local god that much."
Speaking of this, Qing Qing Yu Zi became energetic.
He was not the type who could cultivate with peace of mind.
"Don't pay attention; Eldest Brother will handle everything." Zhao Xing said.
Du Yun stood up and walked to Zhao Xing: "There's nothing for me here, and I'm tired of wandering around the Dragon race's territory. I plan to go into the Year Beast's stomach."
Zhao Xing nodded and opened his palm.
Hum~
The palm world opened, and Du Yun entered the body world to find the Year Beast.
Just after Du Yun entered, Qing Qing Yu Zi couldn't wait: "Zhao Xing, since you don't have much to do, why don't you go with me to 'Double Spring Era' to find—hmm? Find who?"
"Wu Sangong." Zhao Xing reminded.
"Right, right, right, I almost forgot." Qing Qing Yu Zi looked forward to it, "The Dragon race must have a Time-Space Gate that can travel freely in the Feather World era. You and I should go there and see if we can find something good."
This was originally part of the plan. The Double Spring Era of the Feather World and the Disaster Era of the Three-Layered Era were both—
Destinations in the plan.
Originally, if they hit a wall in the Demon God Era, they would have to go to these two places, but Zhao Xing had the Dragon race's help to build a time-space territory, so it was delayed.
Zhao Xing didn't speak; it was actually not a good time for him to go out adventuring.
"If you don't go, then please say hello to the Dragon race for me." Qing Qing Yu Zi said.
He came to say goodbye today; staying here, he couldn't find hope for a breakthrough.
"Who said I'm not going? I also want the Causality Willow; don't even think about enjoying such a good place alone." Zhao Xing smiled.
He wanted to develop his forces and couldn't just rely on the Dragon race's support; he also needed a large amount of resources to develop.
"Then you mean—" Qing Qing Yu Zi's eyes lit up.
"Of course I'm going." Zhao Xing said, "But not now; I have to wait until I learn a secret technique."
He wanted to learn the Four Seasons Straw Man Technique first before going out, so that at least his safety would be guaranteed.
"Good, I'll wait for you together!" Qing Qing Yu Zi left with a smile.
He had just left when a dragon general wearing battle armor appeared outside the hall to report.
"My King, the patrol guard intercepted a ship at the 'Water Moon Star Pass' at the border. There were two people on the ship, one of whom claimed to be your friend."
"Oh, what is his name?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Bowei." The dragon general replied.
Bowei came?
Zhao Xing was overjoyed.
"Release him, invite him in—no, prepare the carriage at the Dragon Ceremony Palace, I will go to welcome him personally!"
