Chapter 647: Heavenly River Crossing, Ten-Direction Mountain Appears!

The commotion in the Dragon Transformation Pool gradually grew larger, the starlight within the dragon Qi vibrated constantly, roars continued, and a large number of space-time scenes emerged.

The space-time scenes accelerated rapidly, and Zhao Xing's flesh, bones, and divine organs began to be pulled violently.

One solar year passed in the blink of an eye; this was completely abnormal.

The six energies within the Si Nong God's body corresponded to the star positions. The stars moved far away rapidly and accelerated in the space-time scenes, which meant that Zhao Xing's physical body would not only fail to be strengthened in the Dragon Transformation Pool but would instead be torn apart and thoroughly shattered.

Even if the God Body could condense, the God Soul would not be able to keep up with the physical body.

The Black Dragon Zi calculated with his fingers and found that it was very likely that an extreme situation would appear:

Zhao Xing's physical body would be torn into countless pieces, scattered in different space-times, and his God Soul would be thoroughly scattered, ground into nothing by the River of Time. Even if a Dao Lord collected the remnant soul, the memories would be completely wiped clean.

"Ang~"

A clear dragon roar erupted. The Black Dragon Zi tried to wake Zhao Xing up to end this baptism early.

But the dragon Qi in the pool boiled, and a large amount of dragon Qi gathered into clouds, which quickly turned black. It blocked the Black Dragon Zi's line of sight and also blocked this sound.

Before the clouds formed, the Black Dragon Zi seemed to see a pair of indifferent pupils, like the ruthless Heavenly Dao, without a trace of emotion.

The Black Dragon Zi had seen these eyes.

Back then, these eyes were not as indifferent as they were now; although there was arrogance in them, there was also a great love that embraced all living things.

"Father God!"

Seeing that his methods were useless, the Black Dragon Zi immediately sought help from the Dragon Ancestor God Palace.

Swoosh~

Before the sound died away, an old man with black hair appeared on the mountain peak. His forehead bones were prominent, his nose bridge was high, and two strands of whiskers hung down, falling onto his gold-white Dao robe.

This was the human form of the Dragon Ancestor. He looked ordinary, but his appearance caused the black clouds in the pool to fade rapidly.

The Black Dragon Zi asked: "Father God, why did I see him?"

The Dragon Ancestor said indifferently: "Damn Gu Xiao is already a Dao Lord. He has mastered a complete Dao, which is related to the Polar Stars."

"You added the origin of the Yang-Transformation Star into the Supreme Dragon Transformation Pool, letting Zhao Xing chase the reincarnation era where the Polar Stars appeared. This touched Damn Gu Xiao's taboo."

The Black Dragon Zi was somewhat surprised: "Damn Gu Xiao's seal on the Heavenly Time Great Dao can also take effect within Father God's divine domain?"

The Dragon Ancestor nodded: "It can. The Great Dao originates from the same source but different sects; it was originally 'you have me in you, and I have you in me.' The Dao Lords of the contending era conquered each other and excluded dissenters, which was nothing more than others' Dao interfering with their own Dao."

"Only in the era where the God Emperor resides can Dao Lords coexist peacefully."

"Shu Ji could withstand the Supreme Dragon Transformation Pool because he was born before Damn Gu Xiao mastered the Dao. Zhao Xing cannot, because he was born after Damn Gu Xiao mastered the Dao."

The Black Dragon Zi said solemnly: "Does Father God have a way?"

"You go out first."

The Black Dragon Zi opened his mouth but didn't move.

"Out!"

The Dragon Ancestor's face became majestic, and the Black Dragon Zi seemed to have returned to the time when he was listening to orders under his Father God in the Military God Palace.

Only when relatively urgent military situations occurred would Father God use this commanding tone to speak to him.

"Obey!"

The Black Dragon Zi retreated from his own palace unwillingly.

After he left, the Dragon Ancestor quietly watched the clouds in the Dragon Transformation Pool.

His eyes emitted golden light, and two strands of whiskers glowed, constantly extending, sinking into the pool and stirring gently.

The Dragon Transformation Pool shrouded in black clouds was like ink, but under the stirring of the dragon whiskers, it gradually faded.

In a corner of the pool, the clouds vanished, revealing a water curtain.

Inside, it reflected a scene: a great mountain that looked like a heavenly pillar. This was one of the Four-Pillar Mountains of the Xuanhuang World.

At this moment, a thin man sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain.

"Boom~"

The Dragon Ancestor's whiskers passed through layers of boundary walls, transformed into a huge dragon head, and probed down from the clouds, appearing above the heavenly pillar.

"Damn Gu Xiao~"

"I want you to repay the favor of that year and let him go once."

On the heavenly pillar platform, Damn Gu Xiao remained motionless, but the black clouds that were like millstones stopped rotating, as if thinking.

The Dragon Ancestor also waited quietly.

I don't know how long it took, but the black clouds faded completely.

The Dragon Ancestor spat out a sentence: "The causal ties between you and me are cleared."

Then he opened his mouth and sucked violently.

In the endless space-time, countless fragments like particles quickly condensed into an illusory human figure, which was sucked into the Dragon Ancestor's mouth.

"Boom, crack~"

The same sound as when he arrived resounded, and the huge dragon head disappeared.

In the Dragon Transformation Pool, countless golden light spots gathered, and Zhao Xing's God Body condensed again.

"Clatter~"

Zhao Xing opened his eyes violently and jumped out of the Dragon Transformation Pool.

By the side of the pool, the Year Beast woke up simultaneously.

After waking up, it held the rice bowl in its mouth, panicked, and drilled into the Nine-Nether Dao Palace.

At this time, the Dragon Ancestor had already left, leaving only the Black Dragon Zi waiting by the pool.

"Eldest Brother, why did the Year Beast come out of my internal world?"

Zhao Xing was somewhat puzzled, and it looked a bit flustered.

"In the Dragon Transformation Pool, didn't you feel anything abnormal?"

Zhao Xing shook his head: "No, as soon as I jumped in, I saw the Polar Star, and then I went to chase it, but no matter how I chased, I couldn't catch up."

"Later, I saw countless time points where the Polar Star existed in the River of Time."

"So I split my divine sense to explore."

"However, like the first Polar Star at the beginning, I was always unable to catch up. No matter how many divine senses I split, I couldn't catch up to any of them."

"I felt a bit tired, so I returned."

The Black Dragon Zi was thoughtful, while the Year Beast shouted: "Impossible, Cook, you must have seen it wrong."

"The shadows left by it in the River of Time are called Polar Star Phantoms. Such Polar Star Phantoms have less power than the main body, but they can also allow people to absorb Polar Star power."

"Under Damn Gu Xiao's influence, there are at most seven time points where Polar Star Phantoms exist; it is impossible for you to have seen countless of them."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Xing frowned.

The Black Dragon Zi said solemnly: "Damn Gu Xiao attacked the Dragon Transformation Pool, causing your God Body to collapse, and your soul was also lured and scattered into countless space-times, about to be ground to nothing by the River of Time."

"Fortunately, Father God took action, and in the end, it was just a false alarm."

"What?" Zhao Xing was shocked, "Damn Gu Xiao could actually attack the Dragon Transformation Pool?"

He had experienced a huge crisis without knowing it.

The Black Dragon Zi sighed: "Damn Gu Xiao is already a Dao Lord; he used the Cloud-Qi Method to attack the Dragon Transformation Pool."

"Although Father God is also a Dao Lord, Damn Gu Xiao is also a Dao Lord. In this direction, Father God also cannot bypass this restriction."

"Damn Gu Xiao's power is enough to seal any space-time. As long as someone tries to steal the Polar Star origin, he will attack."

"Your Heavenly Time School cultivation technique has reached the upper limit of this profession and has already touched the layer where Damn Gu Xiao's seal is the most severe."

"The Dragon Ancestor can only save you this once. If you encounter Damn Gu Xiao again next time, there will be no way to save you."

Zhao Xing's heart felt heavy.

When the realm is low, the difficulty of cultivating the Heavenly Time School to become a god is the cultivation technique and the Polar Star light.

After becoming a god, the difficulty is collecting Polar Star origin.

To want to break through to become a God King, the difficulty is even higher, and one will encounter Damn Gu Xiao's direct attack.

Eldest Brother Zi said that just now, the Dragon Ancestor helped, but he couldn't bypass this layer of seal.

Even the Dragon Ancestor couldn't do it; did he still have hope of gathering the three origins and breaking through to become a God King?

"Eldest Brother, does the Dragon Ancestor have any other way?"

The Black Dragon Zi shook his head: "If you want to become a God King, it's simple; just give up the Heavenly Time Great Dao. With your talent and comprehension, you will definitely become a God King, and there is even a great hope of becoming a Dao Lord."

"But if you want to cultivate the three origins together, you will always find it difficult to bypass Damn Gu Xiao's barrier. It's better to give up early."

Zhao Xing was silent.

In this way, if he chose to cultivate the three origins together, the difficulty of becoming a God King would be the same as becoming a Dao Lord!

Because Damn Gu Xiao is a Dao Lord, and he is blocking the Heavenly Time Great Dao from letting latecomers succeed. Wouldn't the difficulty be at the Dao Lord level?

But if he just gave up like this, he wouldn't be reconciled.

Zhao Xing shook his head: "Along the way, cultivating the three origins together has cost me a lot of effort. This is my Dao; it cannot be changed easily."

The Black Dragon Zi said a sentence full of philosophy: "Damn Gu Xiao spent more effort to seal this Dao than you did, and even gave up one of his sons. Some things cannot be achieved just by persistence."

Zhao Xing was speechless.

Yes, in terms of hard work and diligence, isn't Damn Gu Xiao hard-working and diligent?

After a long while, Zhao Xing squeezed out a curse: "This dog-day bastard is truly painstaking when it comes to doing evil."

The Year Beast opposed: "Cook, you are wrong; Damn Gu Xiao is a pure-blooded human, without any dog bloodline."

Zi:

Zhao Xing:

Putting the Year Beast into his internal world, Zhao Xing left the Black Dragon God Palace.

Although he didn't break through Damn Gu Xiao's seal, which would have allowed the Mixed-Origin God Body to break through, his purpose for coming to the Black Dragon God Palace was achieved.

In the Dragon Transformation Pool, he awakened a new talent divine skill.

"For a human to awaken in the Dragon Clan's Dragon Transformation Pool, this process is called talent bloodline inheritance."

"Low-level Dragon Transformation Seas and medium-level Dragon Transformation Rivers can only inherit talents below the divine level."

"Only the high-level Dragon Gate Leaping can give birth to divine-level talents."

"The top-level Nine-God Dragon Palace gives birth to divine-level talents inherited from the nine great Dragon God Kings."

"The Supreme Dragon Transformation Pool is inherited from the Dragon Ancestor."

This is equivalent to talent card drawing. At low and medium levels, one can only draw talents from the bloodline pool of clansmen below the divine level.

High-level ones can draw from divine-level Dragon Clan members, and top-level ones draw from the talents of the nine great Dragon God Kings.

When Yin Xiu was summoned by the Dragon Ancestor, the opportunity he was bestowed was such an opportunity.

What Zhao Xing obtained now was the bloodline talent inherited from the Dragon Ancestor.

Perhaps because he was worried about Zhao Xing's safety when acting outside in the future, this time the Dragon Ancestor appeared in person, and a directional inheritance occurred.

【Talent Divine Skill (Dragon Clan Limited): Heavenly River Crossing】

【Description: This talent was awakened by the Dragon Ancestor in the Heavenly River; it can traverse the River of Time; cross the Heavenly River.】

"Eldest Brother Zi possesses the talent divine skills 【Desolate Domain God Speed】 and 【Nine Heavens Teleportation】."

"I originally thought I would draw such a talent, but I didn't expect it to be Heavenly River Crossing."

Nine Heavens Teleportation and Desolate Domain God Speed also belong to the Dragon Ancestor's talents; after all, the talents of the nine great Dragon God Kings are also inherited from the Dragon Ancestor.

Occasionally, some dragon generals and dragon soldiers will also have slightly weaker divine-level talents, such as 【Hongze Earth Walking】 and 【Hong Heaven Teleportation】.

Life Great Dao has bloodline reduction between races.

Hongze Earth Walking and Hong Heaven Teleportation are naturally not as good as 【Nine Heavens Teleportation】 and 【Desolate Domain God Speed】.

As for 【Heavenly River Crossing】, among the nine great Dragon God Kings, only Eldest Brother Zi knows it.

"It is said that Shu Ji awakened Desolate Domain God Speed."

"If he had awakened Heavenly River Crossing, he wouldn't have died in the chaotic river vortex of heaven and earth opening."

Zhao Xing was very satisfied with obtaining 【Heavenly River Crossing】.

As for the breakthrough of the Mixed-Origin God Body, he didn't count on breaking through this time. Eldest Brother Zi gave him hope, and although it was a pity that it didn't succeed this time, it couldn't be called a regret.

"Year Beast, what is going on with Damn Gu Xiao hiding the stars? Where did your Year Beast clan hide them?"

Zhao Xing recalled the scene he saw in the pool and felt that the beast that swallowed the Polar Star, looking like a dog's head, symbolized the Year Beast clan.

"I just had a nightmare; a big demon was chasing me."

"You had a nightmare? No wonder you appeared in the outside world, but where is the Polar Star?"

"Cook, actually we don't want to work for Damn Gu Xiao, but the twelve beasts of the Year Phase all listen to Damn Gu Xiao. Those were originally our vassals, but they turned around and wanted to climb on top of our heads. How can we endure this?"

"Hmm, understandable. Then where is the Polar Star?"

"Cook, I understand. I have never escaped Damn Gu Xiao's control. He must have easily determined your location through his causal ties with me and attacked the Dragon Transformation Pool."

"This is not your fault. The Polar Star—forget it, Year Beast, if you don't want to say it, I won't force you." Zhao Xing paused, "I don't want to be Damn Gu Xiao."

The Year Beast lay on Zhao Xing's shoulder, its front paw stroking Zhao Xing's head: "Thank you."

After possessing the Dragon Clan's talent divine skill, Zhao Xing tried it out.

Heavenly River Crossing is actually two abilities: one is crossing the Heavenly River, and the other is being able to travel the River of Time with the physical body.

Originally, Zhao Xing could jump out of the River of Time, but he couldn't travel through time by his own ability. He still had to pass through space-time gates to be safe; otherwise, the barriers and traps above the River of Time would have caused him to die without a burial place.

But now, he doesn't have to rely on tools and can travel by himself. Only at some large time passes will it pose a threat to him, such as the five great passes between the Five Emperors.

This ability allows Zhao Xing not to have to produce a pass, nor to be measured by the two boundary stamps.

In other words, he has the ability to smuggle!

"Combined with the Four-Season Straw Man Method, my mobility can be said to be full. It is very convenient to cast a straw man clone to any space-time I want to go to with my main body's divine essence."

As for crossing the Heavenly River, Zhao Xing had no way to try it. The Heavenly River appears with the opening of the Heavenly River Assembly. And it is usually related to the appearance of the Ten-Direction Mountain.

However, Zhao Xing also went to the Feather Emperor Heaven to test his talent ability with the Heavenly River built by the God Court.

The Heavenly River was built by the God Court, and it has a simplified version, which was built by Si Nong, called the Bai Ren River.

That is the river used by General General Long Hai and Earth Master when they defected, and it also has a nickname: the River of War.

"Where is the Heavenly River Marshal!"

In the rushing river water, Zhao Xing stood in the Heavenly River of the Nine Heavens, his loud voice overpowering the sound of the river.

"Swoosh~"

A golden-armored war god, holding a Heavenly River Halberd, approached rapidly from the other end.

"It's you; you've come again."

The Heavenly River Marshal stood still, staring straight at Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing and Old Qing had once jumped over the Heavenly River when escaping the pursuit of the Ancestral Bright Dao Court and had also met this Heavenly River Marshal.

"Which generation of Heavenly River Marshal are you after the Five-Boundary Island Lord?" Zhao Xing asked unhurriedly.

"I am the thirty-eighth Heavenly River Marshal," the Heavenly River Marshal sneered, holding the gray-mist war halberd. "And you will become the thirty-ninth."

Originally, the Heavenly River Marshal was a divine position. Obtaining the Heavenly River Halberd would grant infinite divine power and control over the Heavenly River.

But ever since the God Court closed, this divine position became chaotic. The responsibilities became heavier, but the authority became smaller, instead becoming a shackle.

The Heavenly River Marshals of the Feather Emperor Era, except for the first one, the Five-Boundary Island Lord, were all forced to become Heavenly River Marshals.

As long as the current Heavenly River Marshal defeats Zhao Xing and forces the Heavenly River Halberd onto him, forcing a succession, he can be liberated and regain his freedom.

"Come! Let me see if you have the ability."

Zhao Xing opened his arms, the Boundless God-Machine appearing and disappearing.

"Die!"

The Heavenly River Marshal waved his war halberd, and a large amount of Heavenly River water sprayed out, with water arrows rushing toward Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing didn't dodge or evade, letting the water arrows attack his body.

"Boom!"

He was knocked back, his toes stepping on the river surface as he retreated hundreds of thousands of feet.

"Each water arrow possesses the power of a hundred thousand times a God General?"

"The ability displayed by the Heavenly River Marshal is completely at the level of an invincible True God General. But looking at the panel, his combat skills and spells are not very strong, let alone any Proving Dao Method."

Excluding other factors, the only thing that made the Heavenly River Marshal so powerful was the blessing of the Heavenly River divine position.

"This is still the performance after the power of the divine position has been weakened. From this, it can be seen that the strength of the first Heavenly River Marshal was completely at the God King level," Zhao Xing evaluated secretly.

Seeing that one move didn't work, the Heavenly River Marshal waved his war halberd, and the water in the river condensed into eight identical clones.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~"

Heavenly River Clones!

Eight Heavenly River clones, their aura was exactly the same as the main body, and even the aura of the Heavenly River Halberds in their hands was exactly the same.

"Can clones also receive blessings?"

"Divine artifacts were also voided into eight pieces; it's truly exaggerated."

Eight clones combined with the main body, their combat power soared more than just a few times. Zhao Xing didn't dare to be careless and used the Boundless God-Machine to protect himself.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom~"

Nine Heavenly River Marshals danced with their war halberds, their vast divine power sweeping across, causing wrinkles in space, with the momentum to tear everything apart.

The top of the Boundless God-Machine and the earth-core parts were even affected.

"Purely using force to form momentum, using momentum to suppress people; this is almost the ultimate embodiment of a Free God."

"Force is Heaven, Qi is Earth; I am the master of heaven and earth."

Zhao Xing cast the Four-Season Boundary Gate, while using his movement technique speed to shuttle and dodge between the four boundary gates.

"Boom!"

Zhao Xing pointed, golden light flashed, and a Heavenly River clone was defeated by the fusion of the Four-God Thunder.

"What?"

The Heavenly River Marshal was also somewhat surprised.

This was in the Heavenly River; Zhao Xing not only defended but also easily broke one of his Heavenly River clones.

"Rise!"

However, soon, the Heavenly River Marshal raised another clone from the river.

"Hum~"

Nine figures cooperated perfectly, the war halberds drew perfect trajectories, attacking constantly.

But the operation of the Four-Season Boundary Gate was also perfect. Zhao Xing used Heavenly River Crossing to shuttle through the Four-Season Boundary Gate, and not a single wound appeared.

"At his peak, the Heavenly River Marshal could definitely be called an invincible existence; no god, demon, or devil would dare to offend the majesty of the God Court."

"But now, I only used half of my divine essence, and I can fight back and forth with the other party, and even suppress him."

"However, I cannot thoroughly kill him."

Zhao Xing poked his head out from the Summer Boundary Gate and ambushed a Heavenly River clone, but in the blink of an eye, the other party condensed another one.

"I can only use him for practice, but I cannot truly kill him. This is the power brought to the Heavenly River Marshal by the divine position."

Zhao Xing had no scruples and exerted his full strength in the Heavenly River.

The commotion between the two alarmed many strong figures.

Several obscure gazes were cast on the Heavenly River.

"I didn't expect that after Zhao Xing's second Proving, his strength would be so strong that he could suppress the Heavenly River Marshal in the Heavenly River?"

The Night Sea's gaze was mixed with joy and worry. Joy was that he had a good causal tie with Zhao Xing, and worry was that the neighbor seemed a bit too strong.

"It is said that Zhao Xing is not yet fully at the God King Realm, yet he is already so powerful."

Inside the Five-Boundary Island, a burly figure holding a war halberd and wearing green armor stood under a Heavenly Gate, quietly watching the Battle of the Heavenly River.

He was the Five-Boundary Island Lord, and also the Heavenly River Marshal conferred by the Feather Emperor. The Heavenly River Marshals after him couldn't be considered orthodox; only he was orthodox.

"The power of the Heavenly River, attacking Zhao Xing, was actually weakened by ninety percent."

The Five-Boundary Island Lord saw it more thoroughly.

The Heavenly River itself hadn't weakened, but it had no effect on Zhao Xing.

"Throughout the Feather Emperor Era, only the Dragon Ancestor, the former Shu Ji—only a few people had this ability."

"It seems Zhao Xing has inherited the Dragon Ancestor's talent." The Five-Boundary Island Lord's eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of life: "There will be no peace again."

Zhao Xing's battle in the Heavenly River was seen by many strong figures.

The strong figures in the distance just treated it as something fresh, but the neighbors nearby were scared out of their wits.

Especially the Seven-Domain Heavenly Mountain; the remaining six domain God Kings were all startled.

They thought Zhao Xing was showing off his martial power and would attack soon.

So they began to plan their defense in a tight-knit manner.

However, the solar year was almost over, and they didn't wait for Long Xuan City's attack.

It was a proper case of searching for enemies in the void, becoming another laughingstock.

"That's enough."

—

On the Heavenly River, Zhao Xing knocked back the Heavenly River Marshal again and stopped attacking.

He had been fighting this person for more than eight hundred years.

He had long since integrated his talents and spells.

"I will never be able to determine life or death with the Heavenly River Marshal. After practicing for so long, I can no longer get any proficiency; it's time to go."

Zhao Xing put away the Four-Season Boundary Gate.

"Heavenly River Marshal, thank you for being my sparring partner; goodbye!"

The Heavenly River Marshal didn't pursue, watching Zhao Xing leave silently.

He also knew that he couldn't defeat Zhao Xing and couldn't force the Heavenly River Halberd onto the other party.

"Truly a monster."

The Heavenly River Marshal sighed, shook his head, and left.

Swoosh~

Returning to the Long Xuan Continent, Zhao Xing's divine essence clone merged with the main body.

He reviewed the battle of more than eight hundred years and constantly sorted out what he had learned.

Just as his God Soul was reviewing the Ten-Direction Mountain Classic he had created.

Suddenly, a mysterious feeling came.

"Clatter~"

In his mind, the Ten-Direction Mountain Classic flipped to a page, and Zhao Xing further perfected the Ten-Direction Mountain Opening Method within it.

On a certain page, it recorded the "Ten-Direction Chronology Method." This was not the Fate Master's divination, but the calculation of the movement laws of the terrestrial veins in the mountain method.

A moment later, Zhao Xing opened his eyes violently. He reached a conclusion: "The Third Epoch of the Desolate Domain, the eleventh solar year, Mid-Yang Season, Ten-Direction Mountain appears."

"Ten-Direction Mountain, is it about to appear?"

Zhao Xing looked at this conclusion, unable to help but feel excited.

"My Ten-Direction Mountain Opening Method, theoretically, can enter the Ten-Direction Mountain some time in advance."

"Whether it can be verified depends on this time."

Appearing once an epoch, and only appearing in the future Ten-Direction Mountain, it was about to open.

For Zhao Xing, this was undoubtedly good news.

"If I miss this time, I'll have to wait until the Fourth Epoch of the Desolate Domain—Ji Si! Ji Si!" ===== CHAPTER 648 =====

Appearing once in an era, and only appearing in the future Ten Directions Mountain, it is about to open.

This is undoubtedly good news for Zhao Xing.

"If I miss this time, I will have to wait until the Fourth Era of the Desolate Domain—Ji Si! Ji Si!"
