Chapter 662: Self-created Straw Man Method, clone becomes a king!

Out of guilt, Zhao Xing gave the second divination to Qing Qing Yu Zi.

The Gourd Immortal performed divination, creating a divination space similar to the Dao-realization Realm.

Qing Qing Yu Zi entered it to realize the Dao and perform Dharma, but he did not choose to realize the Heavenly Master Great Dao and create Heavenly Master methods.

It wasn't that Old Qing felt he was weak, but he knew there were restrictions.

He was also a Heavenly Master God; without the support of Dao realization, he couldn't create spells.

If he could create a God King secret art of the Heavenly Master school, he could be promoted to a God King of the Heavenly Master school.

Gu Xiao alone controlled the Heavenly Master Great Dao; Qing Qing Yu Zi couldn't realize the God King Dao on the summit and create God King methods.

Therefore, he chose to realize the Soul Dao and create soul secret arts, attempting to let his soul reach the God King Realm first.

On this point, Zhao Xing was an example; he belonged to crossing the river by feeling Zhao Xing.

"The divination power is weakening, but Qing Qing Yu Zi still hasn't successfully created it." Ji Si observed the divination space formed by the Gourd Immortal. Qing Qing Yu Zi's soul constantly left his body, constantly dispersed, looking a bit like a headless fly, bumping around everywhere.

"His talent is far inferior to Great Si Nong's. I'm afraid he won't succeed this time either."

Zhao Xing nodded. If you exclude the encounters, Qing Qing Yu Zi's normal cultivation made it difficult to even reach the God Realm, and it was even impossible to obtain the candidate god qualification of the Xuanling high-level.

"Qing Qing Yu Zi's comprehension is probably of average level. He reached the God General level by grabbing opportunities and finding encounters all the way. This is already very extreme; most treasures and opportunities can't help him."

Ji Si analyzed calmly: "If compared with the Heavenly Master school Si Nong of Great Zhou, he is far inferior to Yun Tiandao, and even inferior to Wang Wang Tianzhi."

Zhao Xing recognized this evaluation. Old Yun was a man who opened a sect; before ascending, he could create divine arts.

After ascending, he was also the fastest to cultivate, leading the Great Zhou crowd by a level, and even faster than himself.

Wang Wang Tianzhi was also slightly inferior to Liu Liu Tianning.

But with sufficient resources, talent and comprehension are more important, such as the Yun and Wang mentioned by Ji Si, and Lu Ming and Du Yun also count.

In situations where resources are insufficient, people who can create opportunities and grasp encounters often go further, such as Qing Qing Yu Zi.

Judging by the results, Qing Qing Yu Zi is undoubtedly more successful than them.

But now Zhao Xing could bring sufficient resources, and these people mentioned by Ji Si might go further than Qing Qing Yu Zi in the future.

"Where did Yun Tiandao go?" Ji Si mentioned it, and Zhao Xing also remembered; he hadn't had news of this old friend for a long time.

"I don't know." Ji Si shook her head. "Not long after Great Si Nong's first travel, Yun Tiandao also traveled through space-time."

"He didn't obtain the candidate god qualification of the Xuanling Star Domain, but was picked up by the Heavenly Heng Thunder Mother through the channel of the Five Abyss Thunder God Office."

Yun Tiandao was always unwilling to join Great Zhou. Later, Great Zhou's strength soared rapidly, and they couldn't care where Yun Tiandao went.

Because of Zhao Xing, Ji Si would occasionally calculate Yun Tiandao's situation, but after the other party traveled through space-time, she couldn't care anymore.

"After going down the mountain, write a letter to the Five Abyss Thunder God Office and ask them to send Yun Tiandao back."

"If they can't do it, I will bring people to visit them personally."

With Zhao Xing's current influence, it wouldn't be difficult to get a Yun Tiandao, and he definitely wanted a living one; even if he were dead, he would have to be resurrected and sent back.

"What if he is unwilling to come back?"

"Tell Old Yun that I will ask the Palace Master to open a gap and resurrect his Xia Dynasty monarchs and ministers." Zhao Xing said.

Yun Tiandao's long-cherished wish was nothing more than this, which hadn't changed for several eras, making Zhao Xing admire him, and he was willing to help Old Yun complete this wish.

"Yes, I understand." Ji Si nodded.

Just after speaking, Qing Qing Yu Zi flew out of the divination world.

"Ji Si, does this mountain of your Ten Phases Gate really work?"

"Why haven't I realized the God King secret art yet?"

Ji Si was speechless. Why was it Ten Directions Mountain of the Ten Phases Gate again, and not Zhao Xing's Ten Directions Mountain?

Blaming the mountain for not working because he couldn't realize it—this is fine, this is very Qing Qing Yu Zi.

"Fate Master divination Dao divination, theoretically it is possible."

Qing Qing Yu Zi squinted at his companion again: "Old Gourd, that means you are not good enough?"

"Yes, it's all my fault." The Gourd Immortal couldn't be bothered to argue; he had long known what kind of person this old brother was. It was very difficult for Qing Qing Yu Zi to have internal friction.

"This broken mountain." Qing Qing Yu Zi poked the tortoise shell ground twice with his stick. "It's not as magical as the legends say."

The Gourd Immortal glanced at Qing Qing Yu Zi.

If Zhao Xing realizes the God King secret art in a while, let's see if your face hurts.

Third divination, Ji Si formed the divination world.

Zhao Xing entered it and felt his mind clear, entering a wonderful realm.

Everything he had learned, every moment of cultivating spells, repeated before his eyes, then connected with each other, playing in slow motion in his mind.

At the same time, the divination world began to become colorful, scenes of heaven and earth wonders emerged, and life bloomed brilliantly.

Swish~

Multiple Zhao Xings appeared in the divination world.

"The problem I face is the same as Old Qing's; it's impossible to create a God King secret art of the Heavenly Master school."

"Of course, I can perfect the existing Heavenly Master secret arts, but I can do this at ordinary times; there's no need to waste this opportunity."

"The best choice is to deduce the Earthly Benefit Method and the Self Method."

The Earthly Benefit Great Dao and the Self Great Dao do not have this restriction.

Zhao Xing first focused on the Minggu Mountain Classic.

"The spells contained in the Minggu Mountain Classic initially only had two doors: one is the 'Xuanming Transformation Method,' which was created by Kuang Chuan."

"At first, it was just a reincarnation method; later, I perfected it with him, turning it into the Xuanming Divine Art."

"The Xuanming Divine Art is classified under the Chen Xuan Earth Method, and its function is self-resurrection and resurrecting others. Using the mountain as a boundary, it creates a Netherworld, and as long as there is a trace of divine soul, it can be resurrected infinitely."

This method expanded the scope and level of resurrection. For example, death in the Desolate Domain, this kind of death cannot be resurrected even by reversing time and space, but theoretically, it can be resurrected by the Xuanming Divine Art.

"The second type of spell, initially created as Kuang Chuan's 'Minggu Mountain Dharma Image,' is a proper Spirit Mountain Method. After I perfected it, it became 'Space-Time Minggu Mountain,' a combination of the Earthly Benefit Method and Mountain Method created by combining the Space-Time Dao."

"This is also the core spell of 'Certifying Minggu Mountain in the Land, God Transmitting Two Worlds,' which can summon the Minggu Mountain Dharma Image and part of the mountain body."

"I relied on the blessing of this move to carry the attack of God King Xitian's clone and return to the Shuiyue Star Pass."

Zhao Xing's heart gradually became empty, and the full picture of Minggu Mountain slowly emerged in his mind.

"A mountain classic should contain all types of spells."

"There should also be 'Minggu Mountain Earth Transformation Method,' transforming the body into a mountain, its peak having no limits, capable of breaking ninety-nine heavens, capable of shattering all magic treasures and divine artifacts."

"'Minggu Earth Palace Method,' suppressing all enemies."

"'Minggu Earth Connection Method,' since I can summon the mountain, I should also be able to teleport back to the mountain."

Zhao Xing quickly began to deduce, and a Minggu Mountain Dharma Image quickly appeared in the divination world.

Ji Si was both surprised and happy. What made her happy was that the method created by Great Si Nong belonged to the Minggu Mountain Classic, which was definitely a top-level God King secret art.

What surprised her was that she didn't know if the great power of the Fate Great Dao was enough, and whether it could persist until Great Si Nong finished creating the method.

But soon, Zhao Xing stopped again.

"Hmm? Why did he stop?"

Qing Qing Yu Zi sat on a rock and watched the excitement.

Zhao Xing stopped mainly because he discovered that if his true body came to create the method, it would lead to an imbalance of the three origins.

"Once the creation of the method is successful, my 'Extreme Land' cultivation method, the Earthly Benefit divine power will inevitably transform toward the God King level, and the divine patterns and divine domain will be irreversibly branded into the divine body."

"In this way, the balance will definitely be destroyed, and it will definitely destroy the other two Daos."

Zhao Xing thought for a while, and his gaze fell on the straw man clone.

"The only choice is to use the clone to evolve."

"A pure straw man clone with only Earthly Benefit Great Dao divine power."

"Let the clone break through to the God King level first, and my divine soul is strong enough to fully control a God King-level clone."

"To create the mountain method, first create the straw man method."

"Because although Shu Ji's Four Seasons Straw Man Method is good, it possesses all three origins and cannot satisfy my requirements."

In Shu Ji's era, his clone was also a God King, cultivating all three origins, but those who came later learned it and could no longer cultivate a God King clone that cultivated all three origins.

It was still the same reason: Gu Xiao controlled the Heavenly Master Great Dao, blocking all possibilities. It was impossible to bypass it through the straw man method.

"The straw man method accommodating the Earthly Benefit Great Dao is also not easy. To create the method, one must first realize the Dao. I must fuse the Self Great Dao and the Earthly Benefit Great Dao to create the straw man clone I want."

Clatter~

Zhao Xing opened his inner world and listed many divine wood fairy branches.

He even painfully picked some bark and roots from the Time Divine Tree.

This also included the residue left by Xiao Ai absorbing the Zhou Abyss.

Seeing this scene, Ji Si immediately drove away Qing Qing Yu Zi and the Gourd Immortal.

"Hmm? What are you doing?" Qing Qing Yu Zi asked while retreating.

He soon knew what Ji Si was going to do.

Ji Si ordered the three clones that had passed the first level at the foot of the mountain to carry Zhao Xing's clone and rush through the three southwest side peaks.

Only to see the three southwest side peaks shaking, and golden flames were drawn from the mountain range, gathering at the top of Star Luck Peak.

Although Ji Si couldn't do ten-to-one like the Great Emperor and the Heavenly Master, three-to-one was no problem.

In this way, the great power of Ten Directions Mountain would inevitably be consumed again, leading to a weakening of the divination power for those who came later, but how could Ji Si care about that?

"Ji Si! What are you doing?"

"Ji Si, don't break the rules!"

"The Great Emperor and the Heavenly Master have already consumed the power once, and you're still doing this?"

Ji Si's actions drew dissatisfaction from the climbing combinations in various parts of the mountain.

This included the Yun Ning Hall Master of the Reincarnation Divine Temple, the Shen Zhen Palace Master of the Primeval Divine Palace, and the Di Jun God General and Zi Chuan God General of the Monster Clan.

"Everyone needs to understand one thing." Ji Si responded to the protests from all over the mountain.

"Whoever Great Si Nong lets eat, gets to eat; whoever Great Si Nong doesn't let eat, gets nothing."

Qing Qing Yu Zi immediately responded to this voice: "Not bad. The mountain was opened by Zhao Xing; is there anyone who would fight with the host for food?"

Red Horse Nation Lord followed closely, his voice coming from the southeast peak: "Which blind person is talking? How big is your appetite that you want to fight with Zhao Shenwang?"

"Climbing the mountain depends entirely on ability; is there any yielding? It's truly ridiculous." This was the voice of God King Cang Xi.

The voices of support increased rapidly, and the voices of protest faded quickly, no longer making a sound.

They also realized one thing: Zhao Xing used to be a genius, no matter how heaven-defying a genius, he still had to bow his head in front of the strong, and they could look down on this type of genius.

But now, Zhao Xing is already a strong person, and his status has changed; he is no longer an object they can look down on.

If they cannot adapt quickly, they will lose some things, such as the opportunity to climb the mountain next time.

"One, two, three—seventeen." Qing Qing Yu Zi looked around with his hands on his eyebrows. "Gourd Immortal, write it down; there were a total of eighteen people complaining just now."

The Gourd Immortal was somewhat speechless: "Old brother, have you forgotten that you are a god of the Divine Temple?"

Some of the people who spoke just now were from the Reincarnation Divine Temple, and some were even from the same faction as them.

"Younger brother, you are the one who is confused." Qing Qing Yu Zi turned around and said, "Being so unperceptive and unable to see the situation clearly, how can I have such teammates? It's better to marginalize them early, or even let them go to the Primitive Hall to sit and die."

"..." The Gourd Immortal was speechless.

What you said makes so much sense.

Zhao Xing was immersed in realizing the Dao and creating the method, completely unaware of Ji Si's actions.

In front of him, the first relatively complete straw man took shape.

The straw man's body had mountain stones from Minggu Mountain, Earth God Crystals from the Universe Boat, and fused time—

Divine Tree, and some fragments of the Zhou Abyss, and even specialties of the Desolate Domain, materials like the Black Sky Moon Tree.

The exterior had dragon scale patterns, which were fused with the scales of Huang Li, an Earth God of the Dragon Clan.

"Divine Soul Pointing Platform, out of body!"

Zhao Xing's divine soul split, his soul power turned into a platform, entering the straw man's body from the eye position.

Drawing the dragon and dotting the eyes, the straw man clone suddenly had charm.

Zhao Xing looked at his own body from another perspective.

"The mountain range of Minggu Mountain formed the meridians, the horn peaks were the bones, the original sea of the inner world formed the clone's Qi sea, the hair was green leaves and roots, and there were dragon scales on the chest."

The straw man method Zhao Xing finally created was named "Netherworld Straw Man."

The styling was unique, the eyeliner on the two eyes was smoky makeup, the hair was strand by strand, green and blue intertwined.

"The spell level should have reached the God King level, it's just that it's a bit ugly, and it looks very underworld-like."

Actually, looking at it as a whole, it was just that the selling point was a bit non-mainstream, and the temperament was a bit feminine, leaning toward the appearance of the Nether God Clan.

"Let's see if it can carry the Extreme Land cultivation method."

Zhao Xing controlled the Netherworld clone and quickly cultivated the Extreme Land cultivation method.

In the first breath, he completed "Gathering into meridians," "Leading meridians into the body," and "Initial formation of solid meridians."

In the second breath, he cultivated the Extreme Land Mustard Seed Mountain, but at this time, the cultivation method also changed slightly; its meridians were purely Yin, obviously because the material of the straw man body affected it.

After spending ten breaths adjusting, Zhao Xing entered the third layer of the Extreme Land.

The Mustard Seed Dharma Domain was born, and the Dharma Domain also changed. The Dharma Domain was no longer vast and mighty, but surrounded by black Buddha particles, like a deep abyss full of black fog.

The fourth layer, the Mustard Seed Divine Domain further transformed, and the earth veins were revealed.

At this time, it had already reached the God-level realm in the Extreme Land cultivation method.

"The straw man body is showing incompatibility and needs fine-tuning."

Zhao Xing stopped and quickly improved the Netherworld Straw Man Method.

On the arms, chest, and neck, those black Buddha meridians bulged; this was the conflict between the inherent straw man body and the divine body formed by the Extreme Land.

"Must abandon the innate divine skills born in this period. The straw man method is the foundation and cannot be destroyed."

If it were normal circumstances, breaking through to become a god in the Extreme Land Mustard Seed School would belong to one of the five situations of the Extreme Land Nine Great Divine Bodies.

Zhao Xing's clone broke through, transforming toward the highest-level Six-Meridian Divine Body. Theoretically, it would give birth to innate divine skills, but he chose to give up and retain the inherent foundation of the straw man.

"Extreme Land fourth layer, adjusted to this step, the next step is the adjustment of the Self School's cultivation method."

"The clone cannot give birth to an inner world, but it can still cultivate cultivation methods. Among the five great God-level cultivation methods—Primitive, Origin, Myriad Phenomena, Extinction, and Hunyuan—the best choice at this time should be Extinction or Primitive."

"The Primitive cultivation method is incompatible, so only the Extinction World cultivation method remains."

With a thought, the straw man body quickly withered and constantly shrank.

The mountain-like body collapsed rapidly.

The Extinction World cultivation method pushed the layers rapidly, and finally reached the fourth layer.

"The Extinction World cultivation method mainly cultivates the Great Dao of Destruction."

"The Extreme Land cultivation method is originally full of vitality, but the body is mostly Nether Soil from Minggu Mountain."

"This caused this straw man clone of mine to have a killing ability stronger than its defensive ability."

The final result appeared before his eyes, and Zhao Xing was also somewhat surprised.

【Netherworld Straw Man (Zhao Xing)】

【Body: God King Initial Realm (Destruction Divine Body)】

【Soul Gathering: Intermediate God King (The soul power split off is not enough to reach the Advanced God King)】

【Innate Divine Skill 1: Time Stasis: Stasis of time in an area, the self is not affected.】

【Innate Divine Skill 2: Extinction in the Palm, striking out a small Extinction World.】

【Description: A self-created spell combining the Self Great Dao and the Earthly Benefit Great Dao, born from the Dao of Extinction, and achieved through the Dao of Time and Life.】

"Didn't expect to become a God King of the Self School first?"

Zhao Xing's purpose in creating the straw man method was to want to cultivate into an Earthly Benefit School God King, but he didn't expect to become a Self School God King first.

One of the clone's innate divine skills came from the Time Divine Tree's innate Time Stasis.

The innate skill "Extinction in the Palm" was a combination of things, Dao, cultivation methods, and Dharma.

It included the "World in the Palm" method created by King Yu Heng, the cultivation method "Extinction World," and the fragments of the Zhou Abyss divine tree branch, as well as the Minggu Mountain range.

"Seeing the reason through things, seeing the Dao through the reason, seeing the Dharma through the Dao." The clone flew slowly in front of the true body and punched the true body's chest.

How terrifying was the toughness of the Hunyuan Divine Body? But the Netherworld Straw Man's Extinction in the Palm was even more terrifying.

Zhao Xing's true body was easily broken through, but he quickly retracted his strength, not letting the Extinction World in his palm expand and spread throughout his body.

"The Netherworld Straw Man Method has already surpassed the true body in attack, defense, and speed, it's just that the means are not as many as the true body."

Zhao Xing experienced the difference between the Netherworld clone and the true body.

"The Netherworld Straw Man cannot cast the Divine Flower Method or the Variation Method, because its Self divine power is entirely destructive in nature, unable to let plant life grow."

"Similarly, the Earthly Benefit divine power is the same. This clone is not destined to farm; it is an offensive clone."

This was not entirely consistent with Zhao Xing's original vision; there were flaws, and there were unexpected joys.

"Not being able to farm doesn't count as anything; I have already satisfied the conditions for creating the Earthly Benefit God King Method."

Zhao Xing smiled slightly, his divine soul completely left his body and descended onto the clone, starting the creation of the Earthly Benefit School spell.

"Next is the Minggu Mountain Earth Transformation Method."

Ji Si held her breath and finally maintained the stability of the divination world.

But she found that Great Si Nong had no intention of coming out and was still immersed in it.

"Already created one God King secret art, and still realizing?"

"If this continues, I can only mobilize the power of the three northeast peaks to bless it."

Ji Si had no choice but to let the three clones at the foot of the mountain continue to climb, searching for the power of the three northeast peaks and gathering it at the top of Star Luck Peak.

Xiang Wu Xin God Physiognomist, who was at the top of the three northeast peaks, couldn't help but frown when he saw this.

"Master, what's wrong?"

The honest young man beside Xiang Wu Xin God Physiognomist asked.

"Ji Si is casting the Forced Driving Technique, searching for the power of the three southwest peaks to gather at Star Luck Peak; that is already his limit. Now he is searching for the power of the three northeast peaks; he will inevitably suffer backlash, which will reduce his life count."

"The lifespan of Fate Masters is the shortest among all professions. Except for the Life Book School cultivated by Elder Shu Ji, other schools use a little and lose a little, making it very difficult to replenish."

"Especially the lineage of the Senior Brother, which is the strongest but also the most life-consuming."

"He is ruthless to others and ruthless to himself."

Xiang Wu Xin God Physiognomist shook his head and took his disciple to retreat from the summit area to wait.

There was no other way. Ji Si's school didn't want their lives. Originally, only Elder Shu Ji's school consumed him, but Elder Shu Ji's disciple was useless, and Zhao Xing's appearance changed everything. The competition became unfair, and now they could only avoid the edge.

Time passed. In the divination world, Zhao Xing's clone had disintegrated, turning into a small pile of mountains.

The Earth Transformation Method and the Hou Transformation Method were very similar, but the Earth Transformation Method mostly transformed into mountains and stones, rarely into living things.

Zhao Xing's comprehension was heaven-defying to begin with, and with the blessing of Ten Directions Mountain's great power, his speed of creating the method was simply like a volcanic eruption, unstoppable.

Others create methods by having one, then two, then three, step by step.

At this moment, Zhao Xing took one step and jumped ten, a hundred steps.

"Boom~"

The small pile of mountains grew rapidly, the mountain peaks rose, turning into a pitch-black giant mountain.

It rotated in the air, covering half the range of Ten Directions Mountain with its shadow.

The sky suddenly turned dark.

And it was the kind of darkness that was almost like a Dao obstacle.

This caused many people not to dare to continue climbing and could only wait in place.

"The spell produces anomalies, like a Dao obstacle covering the eyes." God King Ye Hai was one of the few who could see the situation on the summit.

He sighed with emotion: "A new God King secret art has been born, and it is inseparable from the Minggu Mountain Classic."

True God Dao-certification, things, Dharma, heaven, and earth are originally connected.

The more powerful spells in Zhao Xing's Minggu Mountain Classic, the more perfect the Dao.

"Sooner or later, relying on Minggu Mountain, he will be able to walk the Dao through the heavens." The Fate Master beside God King Ye Hai also exclaimed in admiration.

He took the opportunity to issue a prophecy: "Zhao Xing will definitely become a Dao Lord."

Fate Masters rarely issue such prophecies, because once it doesn't happen, there will be backlash in the future. But if it happens, they will receive feedback from the Fate Great Dao and increase their cultivation.

However, this Ye Hai Fate Master immediately discovered that he was a step late, and many Fate Masters had already done so.

Witnessing is also a kind of welfare; grabbing the Dao is making the Dao, so naturally, many Fate Masters scrambled to speak.

The entire Ten Directions Mountain was filled with the sound of Fate Masters "grabbing the Dao," which was deafening.

"Hum~" At the peak of the mountain, the divination world dissipated.

Minggu Mountain turned back into Zhao Xing.

The second divine God King method was also created.

"Two types?"

Qing Qing Yu Zi jumped over and asked impatiently.

"Hmm." Zhao Xing nodded lightly.

"Congratulations to Zhao Shenwang for creating a new method." The Gourd Immortal immediately congratulated him, and didn't forget to step on Qing Qing Yu Zi: "Unlike some people, who can't even get out of the outhouse."

Qing Qing Yu Zi didn't care at all; his face thickness had already reached the God King level.

"Zhao Xing, can I learn the two new methods you created?"

"The probability is very small." Zhao Xing said regretfully.

Netherworld Straw Man, Minggu Mountain Earth Transformation Method—the difficulty coefficient was very high; among the gods on the mountain, I'm afraid not many could learn them.

"What a pity." Qing Qing Yu Zi was dejected.

He wanted to learn from the Dao, but he didn't have the qualification to do so.

Kuang Chuan might be able to learn the Minggu Mountain Earth Transformation Method, and Liu Liu Tianning also had hope of learning the Netherworld Straw Man Method.

"Gu Xiao is really not acting like a human. If it weren't for him, I would definitely have been able to create a God King secret art today and become God King Qing Yu."

Qing Qing Yu Zi never had internal friction; he quickly blamed Gu Xiao.

The Gourd Immortal almost couldn't hold back.

He really wanted to say that even without Gu Xiao controlling the Dao, it would be very difficult for you, old brother, to create a God King secret art.

"Great Si Nong, there are still three side peaks, and the divination power is still okay." Ji Si walked over.

"I won't go to the last three mountain peaks." Zhao Xing said: "I have to leave some opportunities for others."

He decided to focus his energy on finding Fate Master supreme treasures before the mountain was sealed.

If he could encounter the Four Seasons lot again, perhaps he could go back and ask the Fourth Generation Sect Master what fortune he had divined for himself, and why he refused to say it. ===== CHAPTER 663 =====

He decided that before sealing the mountain, he would focus his energy on finding the Fate Master Wu Bao.

If he could encounter the Four Seasons Divination again, perhaps he could go back and ask the fourth-generation Sect Master what fate he had divined for himself, and why he had sworn not to say it.
