Chapter 635

Qing Qing Yu Zi really hadn't seen that Zhao Xing's body was transformed by the straw man method at first.

It wasn't until he saw that both Zhao Xings were equally powerful that he re-examined it and discovered the clues.

"If I hadn't spent so much time with you, I wouldn't have been able to tell them apart."

"Why is this straw man clone of yours so powerful?"

"Could the characteristic of this method be disguise in terms of aura?"

Qing Qing Yu Zi's first thought was the characteristics of the magic spell.

"It's not disguise." Zhao Xing said lightly.

"I obtained Shu Ji's Four Seasons Straw Man Method and improved his Summer Straw Man Method, making the Summer Straw Man compatible with three paths instead of two."

Qing Qing Yu Zi had pondered the past at the Tianya Stele, so of course he knew who Shu Ji was.

Upon hearing this, he was so shocked that he grabbed Zhao Xing's arm: "Modifying Shu Ji's straw man method—are you serious?"

"Feel it, feel it; does this straw man not fuse the three paths of Heavenly Time, Earthly Advantage, and True Self?"

Qing Qing Yu Zi didn't say a word and reached out to touch it.

After touching it, he even cast a magic spell to enter the interior of the straw man's body to check.

Upon seeing the Layered Realm Mountain and the Yang Star inside the straw man, Qing Qing Yu Zi was shocked.

"Heavenly Kitchen Realm, Giant Yang, and the Life Dao can perfectly penetrate both?"

For a moment, he was even somewhat intoxicated.

Perfect, too perfect!

This was the most perfect straw man he had ever seen.

The corners of Zhao Xing's mouth curled up slightly.

Showing off in front of Old Qing always made him feel happy.

In fact, this straw man couldn't be called perfect at all; it was just that Qing Qing Yu Zi's Dao realm wasn't high enough, so he thought everything looked good.

In reality, Zhao Xing hadn't carefully crafted this straw man yet; there was still plenty of room for improvement, at least in terms of materials.

"Zhao Xing, can I try it?"

"Sure, help me test its quality."

Qing Qing Yu Zi was currently inside the straw man, and he attacked the straw man's heart area.

"Boom-crack~"

A thunder pillar went straight for the heart palace.

Logically speaking, this should have been a relatively fragile area for the straw man, and although Qing Qing Yu Zi didn't use his full strength, he still used seven-tenths of it.

However, the thunder pillar hit the heart directly and was actually bounced back.

"Thump-thump~"

The heart beat once, and the entire space trembled because of it.

Qing Qing Yu Zi felt a tightness in his chest and couldn't help but put on the Profound Heaven Tai Sui Armor.

"Bang!"

He was repelled by his own thunder instead!

"Whoosh~"

Qing Qing Yu Zi turned his dark ring and took out some bottles and jars.

Because he had just retreated to the Heavenly Kitchen position, which was the stomach space of the straw man's body.

"Zhao Xing, I wonder if this stomach of yours can withstand God King Tears and Life River Poison Mist?"

"Give it a try." Zhao Xing was also very interested.

The external defensive power of the straw man's body was very strong, but the interior was a weakness.

There were some martial artists who were good at stealth and concealment who could cast "Size as Desired" and drill into an enemy's body to attack without anyone noticing.

There were also some Physician Gods who could manufacture certain strange poisons; their poison source was ineffective against flesh and blood, but could react miraculously with the straw man's materials, causing its interior to collapse.

Besides Desolate God Poison, God King Tears and Life River Absolute Mist were the strongest poisons Zhao Xing had ever seen.

If even these two kinds of poison could be digested, then this straw man body would be able to cope with various environments, and his own mobility would be greatly enhanced.

"Shatter."

After Qing Qing Yu Zi dropped the two bottles containing the deadly poison, he immediately flew out of the straw man's body.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~

Inside the straw man's body, a deadly poison storm erupted immediately.

The Life River Absolute Mist and God King Tears spread rapidly toward the surroundings, and the space inside the straw man began to fluctuate immediately.

A gray aura swept across everything, and even space seemed to wither, constantly shrinking.

After Qing Qing Yu Zi drilled out, he watched the straw man's reaction.

He saw the straw man's abdomen slightly collapse, and a gray light appeared.

Can it hold up?

"Boom~"

A muffled loud noise came from the abdomen, like the sound of rocks colliding.

Zhao Xing's straw man clone expanded by a circle rapidly.

Qing Qing Yu Zi's pupils contracted rapidly.

Being able to make a sound proved that Zhao Xing's straw man body was resisting the poison.

Otherwise, it would have been killed instantly, and the entire body would have collapsed into powder.

When he faced the Zuming Dao Court's pursuit earlier, he and Lü Ming had joined forces to trap and kill Sang Huang Jian, and they had used these two kinds of poison; the latter, as a Martial Dao True God General, hadn't even left a corpse behind.

Click, clack, taste~~~

A sound of gears grinding came from the abdomen, and Zhao Xing's true self waved his hand and threw a clean bottle over.

"Whoosh~"

The straw man body grabbed the clean bottle and spat out a mouthful of turbid air.

The bottle was transparent, and Qing Qing Yu Zi could observe that this turbid air was a substance degraded from God King Tears and Life River Absolute Mist.

"This stomach, this method—this straw man can truly be called invincible!"

That Zhao Xing's straw man clone could expel poisons like God King Tears and Life River Absolute Mist was simply inconceivable to Qing Qing Yu Zi.

However, Zhao Xing wasn't that excited.

"Invincible is an overstatement."

How could it be called invincible? Shu Ji had created many divine methods, but in the end, he still died in a natural disaster.

Although Qing Qing Yu Zi also really wanted to learn this straw man method, he knew that he couldn't possibly succeed.

Even if Bowei imprinted ten thousand Dao books for him, it would be useless, because he didn't have the "True Self School's Gong" to support it.

Whether it was the Layered Realm Mountain or the Giant Yang Star inside the straw man, they all needed to be carried by the True Self Dao to be perfectly fused.

"Chef, what delicious food are you eating?"

Just then, the head of a small beast with long mane appeared at the doorway.

It bounced on all fours, crossed the threshold, stepped on the clouds, and floated in, its gaze falling on the bottle held by the straw man clone.

"Let me have a taste."

"Year Beast, you can't taste this." Zhao Xing smiled and put it away. "It's a poison source."

Even though it had already been degraded by one level, the poison source was still very strong.

"Fine."

The Year Beast leaped lightly and jumped into Zhao Xing's palm.

It used its toes to poke Zhao Xing's palm, signaling for him to let it in.

The Year Beast had now treated Zhao Xing's internal world as its old nest.

"Year Beast, you didn't eat anything you shouldn't have while you were out this time, did you?"

Zhao Xing occasionally let the Year Beast go out to the dragon race's territory to turn around, but he had warned the Year Beast not to eat dragon eggs.

"How could I?" The Year Beast shook its head guiltily. "No, no."

Zhao Xing saw the Year Beast's guilt at a glance and immediately pried its mouth open.

"Woo~"

"Chef, what are you doing? I didn't—"

Zhao Xing took out two pale blue dragon eggs and stared at the Year Beast quietly.

"Eh, how did it run into my stomach?" The Year Beast played dumb. "It must have run into my stomach by itself—"

Zhao Xing didn't speak, just stared at it like that.

The Year Beast had no choice but to continue spitting out eggs.

In the end, it spat out a total of twenty-eight eggs.

There were dragon race ones, and also some from other symbiotic species.

"None left?"

"Really none left." The Year Beast felt somewhat aggrieved; it felt that Zhao Xing was being unreasonable.

How could he take out things that were already in its mouth?

Whoosh~

The Year Beast drilled into the internal world angrily.

Zhao Xing handed these dragon eggs to his assistant, the Dragon General 'Wu Yue Ying'.

"Wu Yue Ying, please return these eggs to each family, bring a gift, and apologize on my behalf."

"Yes." Wu Yue Ying put away the dragon eggs and left quickly.

"A dignified Year Beast, and you're raising it like a child." Qing Qing Yu Zi was somewhat envious.

He also wanted to have a divine beast like this to accompany him.

Heavenly Time School Si Nong actually had the habit of raising pet beasts; back then, Qing Qing Yu Zi had a Gulu Gulu monster to accompany him.

"Don't talk nonsense, if the Year Beast finds out, you'll get beaten up." Zhao Xing smiled.

The Year Beast specifically countered Heavenly Time Gods.

Even though Old Qing's combat power had risen sharply now, when facing the Year Beast, he could only exert about four-tenths of the power of his Heavenly Time divine power.

Zhao Xing was slightly better, as his Heavenly Time divine power and magic spells could exert seven-tenths of their effect.

This was the Year Beast's innate ability, which had been magnified by the Luo Emperor and standardized in terms of 'Dao' and 'Reason'.

In addition, if a Heavenly Time God was strong enough to injure the Year Beast, a 【Year Beast's Curse】 state would appear.

During the day, one couldn't use Heavenly Time divine power at all, and at night, one could only use three-tenths.

The duration was uncertain; according to the Year Beast itself, the effect depended on how great its anger was at the time.

Qing Qing Yu Zi was also helpless about this; if others called it a "Hairy God," it would get angry.

But if the Year Beast called him a "Hairy God," he could only obediently answer, and this situation wouldn't change even if he became a God King.

Because even a God-level Si Nong would be countered by the Year Beast.

"My sin, my sin; forgive my unintentional words." Qing Qing Yu Zi bowed to Zhao Xing's palm.

"There's an urgent matter." Zhao Xing said.

"I thought you had cultivated the straw man method and wanted me to come and appreciate it." Qing Qing Yu Zi sat down. "Tell me, what urgent matter?"

"Gu Fu Tianyang is still alive, and his Primordial Straw Man Method is a divine method that can absorb the divine power, life, and even causality of the practitioner."

"He might be lurking in the Desolate Domain era."

Qing Qing Yu Zi frowned.

Gu Fu Tianyang being alive was indeed a big deal.

And his Primordial Straw Man Method actually had such power.

"If that's the case, Zuo Zuo Qiyu and Liu Liu Tianning are both in danger."

"No need to worry about Liu Liu Tianning." Zhao Xing said. "I have confidence in him; I can break free from the restrictions of the straw man method, so he can too."

"It's mainly Senior Zuo."

Now that Zhao Xing had become a god, he still hadn't forgotten the kindness Zuo Zuo Qiyu had shown him back then.

Whether it was passing down methods or later funding the treatment of the demigod poison and developing the Desolate Domain, Zuo Zuo Qiyu had helped quite a bit.

"I'll think of a way to send the news back immediately." Qing Qing Yu Zi nodded.

If Zhao Xing went back, it would be very difficult to find anything.

The Reincarnation Divine Palace had many hands, and they were very good at conducting searches themselves.

After Qing Qing Yu Zi left.

The texture of Zhao Xing's palm suddenly twisted, turning into a talisman seal.

A human figure appeared faintly in the talisman seal.

"Zhao Xing, I sensed the existence of Elder Shu Ji, and he is very close to you."

"Senior Mai." Zhao Xing whispered as he leaned in, "He is on my territory."

The Mai Divine Image was silent for a moment, before asking with some doubt: "How did you know?"

Based on his understanding of his junior brother, there was no way Zhao Xing could see through Elder Elder Shu Ji's disguise.

Because the Divine Concealment Method was invented by the Ten Phases Gate!

As a Fate Master, the most important thing was to ensure one's own safety and not be backlashed by causality.

Secondly, it was the ability to disguise, because Fate Masters themselves didn't have much combat ability; if their disguise was seen through and they were caught, it was basically a death sentence.

Zhao Xing didn't answer this question, just saying: "He goes by the name Yu Mo and is with Bowei. I don't know what their relationship is, but I have requests for Bowei, so I haven't made a move yet."

When the Mai Divine Image heard Zhao Xing say this, he thought Zhao Xing knew because of Bowei.

But he also made a request: "No matter what method you use, don't let him run away."

"Every Ten Phases God has a supreme inheritance, and the inheritance on him is of great use to Ji Si." "Understood." Zhao Xing nodded.

Fourteen years later, Bowei had already finished imprinting all three unique books.

When he came out of seclusion, he saw Yu Mo wearing a Great Dao Golden Hoop, with a circle under his feet, emitting golden light.

Beside him were the Dragon God King Shuiyue and Huang Li.

And Yu Mo had a bitter expression on his face.

"What mistake did he make?"

Bowei handed the Dao books to Zhao Xing and then asked calmly.

"Elder, do you know his true identity?"

Bowei frowned: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Zhao Xing said: "Yu Mo is not just the Book God Servant of Taishi City; he is also Elder Elder Shu Ji." Bowei's gaze fell fiercely on Yu Mo, his robes fluttering without wind.

When he first arrived at Taishi City, the first person he met was this old man.

The feeling Yu Mo gave him was very similar to his old friend from back then, the Great Elder of the Academy, 'Zhixin'.

As they spent time together, they had built up some friendship.

He didn't expect that all of this was fake?!

"You approached me on purpose?"

"Yes." Elder Elder Shu Ji nodded.

"You imitated the appearance and demeanor of my deceased old friend?"

"Correct."

"You... deserve to die."

Anger appeared on Bowei's face, which was rare.

Lightning flashed in his eyes, and terrifying destructive thunder shot straight at Elder Elder Shu Ji.

"Bang!"

Bowei's lightning failed to land on Elder Elder Shu Ji.

The ground beneath his feet vibrated slightly, shifting space and deflecting Bowei's attack.

However, Bowei's attack still bypassed this Earth Vein Guarding Barrier and continued to strike at Elder Elder Shu Ji.

"Hum~"

The lightning was blocked by the second Shuiyue Barrier.

It was just that a large number of cracks appeared, and the pale blue barrier was covered in purple spiderwebs.

"Bowei, you're going a bit too far."

Shuiyue flashed and blocked the front.

Bowei's reputation was indeed great.

But this was Zhao Xing's territory.

Punishing without asking, and breaking two layers of defense?

Does the Dragon Emperor not need face?

Bowei ignored Shuiyue's warning; he didn't take the prestige of the two Great Dragon God Kings seriously.

But at this moment, Zhao Xing spoke.

"Elder, since you didn't know his true identity, please leave him to me to deal with."

"He cultivated Yi Ren to impersonate me and caused Shenji City to be besieged; I won't let him have an easy time."

The destructive thunder in Bowei's eyes dissipated, and his gaze returned to clarity.

For some reason, Zhao Xing felt that Bowei was even colder.

"Remember the three things you promised me."

Bowei didn't look at Elder Elder Shu Ji again, and with a flash of his figure, he disappeared from the main hall.

Under the observation of Zhao Xing's Heaven-Reaching Divine Eye, Bowei had already walked out of Shuiyue Star Pass in three steps.

After the fourth step, he disappeared from his field of vision.

"This person is powerful, but his temperament is a bit strange." Huang Li muttered when he saw Bowei leave suddenly: "There's no room for negotiation in such matters."

He had wanted to ask Bowei for advice, but Bowei was too cold, and Huang Li couldn't bring himself to speak.

"Brother Huang Li, here."

Zhao Xing handed a rubbing of the "Wind and Rain Earth Palace" to Huang Li.

Of the three supreme methods—"Vast Marsh World," "Wind and Rain Earth Palace," and "Four Seasons Straw Man"—only the Wind and Rain Earth Palace was something Huang Li had a possibility of grasping.

"Hahaha, I'll go first!"

Huang Li felt like he had obtained a treasure and quickly left with the Dao book; he was going to study it.

"Zhao Xing, do you still need my help?" Shuiyue asked prettily.

It was she who had helped capture Elder Elder Shu Ji.

Three days before Bowei came out of seclusion, Elder Elder Shu Ji had already prepared to run away.

He used magic to make Zhao Xing ignore him, waiting for an hour.

And Zhao Xing had indeed forgotten, but he had also made preparations, informing the Shuiyue Dragon God in advance.

Letting her firmly remember this matter.

The effect of the magic spell was concentrated on Zhao Xing, but the effect Shuiyue endured wasn't that strong.

Thus, when Elder Elder Shu Ji came out of seclusion, he was caught red-handed by the Shuiyue Dragon God.

"No need to trouble you, Great Dragon God." Zhao Xing smiled: "His magic spell has been broken, and now it would be difficult for me to forget him even if I wanted to."

The magic spell of ignoring was broken, and the backlash was that Zhao Xing would firmly remember Elder Elder Shu Ji.

"Good, call me if you need anything."

Shuiyue turned into a water dragon and flew away.

After the two Great Dragon Gods left, Elder Elder Shu Ji just wanted to speak.

As a result, two sturdy figures flashed before his eyes, and a fist magnified rapidly before his eyes.

"Bang!"

Elder Elder Shu Ji was knocked flying immediately, smashing heavily into the pillar in the hall.

"Cough, cough~"

Elder Elder Shu Ji coughed up blood immediately.

"So you're the damn Elder Elder Shu Ji?"

Du Yun squatted in front of Elder Elder Shu Ji, full of resentment, patted his face, and held a small knife in his left hand.

"Du Yun, let's talk this over; I can give you a great opportunity—"

Elder Elder Shu Ji felt that something was wrong.

Du Yun grinned hideously: "What a coincidence, I also have a great opportunity to give you."

Click~

With a flash of the knife, Elder Elder Shu Ji suddenly felt a chill in his lower body.

Something had disappeared.

"Du Yun—"

Elder Elder Shu Ji wanted to speak, but his seven orifices were covered by Du Yun.

"Don't be in a hurry; the time for begging for mercy hasn't come yet."

Du Yun's smile was very cruel.

Then, his blood energy turned into a prison, wrapping around Elder Elder Shu Ji tightly, forming a blood-colored cocoon.

Du Yun had experienced too many divine tribulations; he helped swallow other people's divine tribulations, and what he was casting now was the Blood-Colored Soul Tribulation Barrier.

It could make Elder Elder Shu Ji personally experience the despair and pain of those undergoing tribulation.

Beside them, Qing Qing Yu Zi had also originally prepared to beat Elder Elder Shu Ji up.

Back then, he had also been impersonated.

But when he saw this, he stopped and returned to Zhao Xing's side.

"What exactly did Little Du experience back then?" Qing Qing Yu Zi transmitted his voice.

"It's better if you don't ask about this." Zhao Xing shook his head.

Qing Qing Yu Zi nodded.

"Will his realm have problems?"

"Not necessarily." Zhao Xing shook his head, "Brother Du isn't someone else; he'll be fine after venting."

Whoosh~

Du Yun dragged Elder Elder Shu Ji's ankle and drilled into Zhao Xing's internal world.

By the time Du Yun had vented enough, it was already a year later.

At this time, Elder Elder Shu Ji's eyes were already somewhat vacant.

Zhao Xing's internal world had a time acceleration function.

He had experienced over three hundred years of torture.

Elder Shu Ji didn't understand; Du Yun was just a martial artist, where did he get so many ways to torture people?

"Came out earlier than I thought."

"Are you satisfied?" Zhao Xing asked.

"This resentment has dissipated." Du Yun nodded, looking at Elder Elder Shu Ji with relative calm.

"The God of 'Fate' is nothing more than this; he can't withstand much torture."

Fate Masters really couldn't withstand being beaten.

Elder Elder Shu Ji had previously had the demeanor of an expert, but now his face looked honest.

"He's yours."

"My mind is clear, and I feel I'm in the right state for a breakthrough; maybe I'll have some gains."

Du Yun greeted him and drilled into the internal world again to find the Year Beast.

"Zhao Xing, you are about to face a great disaster."

Elder Elder Shu Ji saw Zhao Xing looking over and spoke immediately.

Zhao Xing smiled.

It was the old routine of a Fate Master.

Opening his mouth meant "a great disaster is imminent."

"Can't you change to a fresher way to save your life?"

"For example, you could just say, 'let me go'."

Elder Elder Shu Ji shook his head: "I'm not fear-mongering; if you don't believe me, you can use your divine eye to look at the Yaha Star of the Ningta Divine Kingdom."

"There are two God Kings lurking there, sent by the Zuming Dao Lord to assassinate you."

"In addition, the Ningta Divine Kingdom, the Seven Domains Heavenly Mountain, and the Martial Heart Divine City will all send troops in the near future to attack your Dragon Profound Continent."

"One does not allow others to sleep soundly beside one's bed; your attainment of the Dao here is seen as a thorn in their side. It just so happens that the Zuming Dao Court is funding it, so they hit it off immediately and want to destroy your reclamation construction."

Zhao Xing closed his eyes and opened them again, a flash of surprise appearing.

He went to the Dark Palace to verify it, and discovered that this was indeed the case.

Since this belonged to things that hadn't happened yet, the Dark Palace hadn't obtained too much information, but the Dark Robe said that this was indeed possible.

The Zuming Dao Court had indeed sent people to lobby the Ningta Divine Kingdom, the Seven Domains Heavenly Mountain, and the Martial Heart Divine City.

"The dragon race might be able to help you build and defend the city, but they absolutely cannot send troops."

"Assuming they block the path out of the Desolate Domain, then don't even think about developing." Elder Elder Shu Ji said.

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment; Elder Elder Shu Ji really wasn't fear-mongering.

His place of attainment was transforming toward the Spirit Domain, and the Void River would bring 'people' from all over to interact with the Dragon Profound Land.

Assuming these three factions joined forces to block the Desolate Domain belt, and the two realms cut off the flow of the Void River, then he wouldn't even be able to absorb the origin of spiritual energy.

The growth of his place of attainment would be hindered.

"This war is your battle for a foothold."

"You must accept it."

"Otherwise, when you want to form an alliance with other factions or trade, there will be no path for them to come."

"You can't possibly rely on manpower to transport the origin of spiritual energy."

"Then what is your high opinion, sir?"

Elder Elder Shu Ji bowed: "I can give you ideas, but you must give me a way to survive."

"Fine." Zhao Xing nodded. "But in this battle, you have to help me fight."

Elder Elder Shu Ji was helpless; once he appeared, he would truly become Zhao Xing's "backing."
