Chapter 755: The Change of the Arena (Two-in-one)

~22 min read 4,374 words

Xu Jin had originally thought that the Eldest Princess Zhu Linxiao's Dao path interruption might have originated from her Divine Soul.

Usually, only if the Divine Soul suffers irreversible damage will the Dao path be interrupted.

But if the Divine Soul is severely damaged, not only will the Dao path be interrupted, but the lifespan will also be greatly reduced, and at the same time, combat power will also decline significantly.

However, Zhu Linxiao's combat power was not bad, which was also where Xu Jin was puzzled.

Unexpectedly, the truth obtained from the Yutang King Zhu Shizhen was completely beyond Xu Jin's expectations and was also extremely thorny.

The Eldest Princess Zhu Linxiao's Natal Suppressing Tool was lost.

To be precise, it was snatched away and sealed by someone.

If it had been snatched away and directly destroyed, it would have been easier to handle.

If destroyed, at worst, the origin would be damaged, and the Law Dao would collapse.

But with the foundation and ability of the Yutang Wang Fu, Zhu Linxiao could completely start over, re-forge a Natal Spirit Treasure, and re-evolve the Law Dao.

In fact, if the other party had directly destroyed Zhu Linxiao's Natal Suppressing Tool, it would not have been so troublesome.

Zhu Linxiao currently cultivated four types of power, mainly Wind, supplemented by Water and Fire, and also cultivated Space.

In essence, Space was just to make up the numbers, and it was only to execute the Space Teleportation Star Art.

The Natal Suppressing Tool that was snatched and sealed was Wind-type, a Natal Suppressing Tool that had suppressed seven Wind Law Dao paths.

If it hadn't been snatched and sealed, but just destroyed, Zhu Linxiao could have completely re-cultivated Wind from the beginning, which would have taken ten years or so, or she could have directly turned Water or Fire into her main cultivation, and she could still continue her Dao path.

But in the situation of being snatched and sealed, she was in such a stuck position.

Especially since Zhu Linxiao had already begun to nourish the Star and transform into an Infant at that time, which was preparing for the next realm; she had already begun to use the Law Dao to nourish the Star, and the Natal Suppressing Tool of her main Wind path was snatched and sealed, which directly caused Zhu Linxiao's cultivation to be forever trapped in place.

The main Wind path could not advance because there was no Natal Suppressing Tool.

She wanted to use Fire or Water to replace it, but she had already begun to nourish the Star and transform into an Infant; her Dao Embryo had already begun to fuse with the stars nourished under the Star Tower by the Wind Law Dao.

She wanted to change the direction of her main cultivation, but she couldn't.

If she wanted to change, unless she separated the Dao Embryo that had already fused with the Wind nourishment.

Separation was possible, but the Dao Embryo would inevitably suffer heavy damage, the Divine Soul origin would be severely damaged, and at that time, the cultivation would inevitably fall, and the Dao path would still be interrupted.

And it would be the kind without hope.

For this reason, the Yutang True Person Mansion used up all its past favors and asked an Emperor Chi Yun, with whom they had a friendship, to see if there was any possibility of continuing the Dao path.

After Emperor Chi Yun personally diagnosed Zhu Linxiao, he gave two methods to continue the Dao path.

The first method was the simplest, which was naturally to find the lost Natal Suppressing Tool; then all the problems currently faced would not be problems.

But the problem was that Zhu Linxiao, until now, did not even know who the strong person who ambushed her was.

Zhu Linxiao is the Hu Hu Dianzhu of the Punishment Hall of the Dongxuan Star Realm; she was ambushed and raided while leaving after reporting for duty at the Tongxuan Imperial Palace.

The process of the Natal Suppressing Tool being snatched took only a breath or two.

Zhu Linxiao only knew that the other party was a True Person, and a True Person with extremely powerful Divine Soul supernatural powers.

The moment she encountered it, Zhu Linxiao drove the Wind Law Heavenly Path with all her might, striving for time to escape.

But it was only for an instant; she only saw a golden toad open its mouth, which seemed to be able to swallow the entire heaven and earth, swallowing her whole person, including her Dao Embryo.

In a hurry, to save her life, she used the True Person killing weapon left by the Yutang True Person to block it, gaining the opportunity to escape, and teleported away in an instant.

She escaped with her life.

But the moment she escaped, she discovered that her Wind Natal Suppressing Tool, Biluo Jinghong, had not been brought over, and she had lost contact with it.

She had originally thought it had been snatched by someone and should have been directly destroyed by the Divine Soul imprint and treated as spoils of war.

After all, her Natal Suppressing Tool, Biluo Jinghong, was also forged from Innate Spirit Materials and was extremely precious.

Unexpectedly, the expected Divine Soul backlash never came.

Instead, because the Natal Suppressing Tool was lost, her cultivation could not advance, and the Dao path was completely interrupted.

It was only then that she realized that she was able to escape with her life, which should have been intentional by the other party.

After all, she was the Hu Hu Dianzhu of the Criminal Hall of a star realm, going to the Imperial Palace to report on her duties; if she were killed on the way back, that would be slapping the Emperor in the face, and it would inevitably be thoroughly investigated.

Theoretically, a True Person with such powerful supernatural powers, if he wanted to kill her, only needed to suppress the void at the same time he appeared; even if she had a True Person killing weapon to save her life, she would only last for a while longer.

The other party was aiming for her Natal Suppressing Tool and interrupting her Dao path from the beginning.

Just like that, Zhu Linxiao's Dao path was interrupted.

And she didn't even know who the enemy was.

Even if the Yutang King Zhu Shizhen extremely suspected that this was caused by the Bixuan True Person colluding with external enemies, there was no evidence.

Afterwards, the Yutang Wang Fu inquired and investigated everywhere, looking for a True Person who cultivated the Heaven-Swallowing Golden Toad supernatural power, but there had been no results.

Whether it was a Star Lord, a True Person, or an Emperor, the supernatural powers they cultivated were all trump cards, and they would not be exposed easily; occasionally used, the targets had already become dead people, so it was normal not to be able to find out.

But since then, the Bixuan True Person Mansion's efforts to annex the territory of the Yutang True Person Mansion began to double.

The Yutang True Person Mansion began to decline rapidly.

And precisely because of this, this first method to continue the Dao path could be called unsolvable.

You don't even know who took your Natal Suppressing Tool, how can you find it back?

Whether it's redeeming, using favors, or paying a price to use means to snatch it back, there is no target to execute it on.

It's useless to sigh.

And precisely because of this situation, Emperor Chi Yun gave the second method to continue the Dao path.

The second method was also very simple: re-forge a Wind Natal Spirit Tool, then re-enlighten several Wind Law Dao paths to nourish the Natal Spirit Tool into a Natal Suppressing Tool, and after it becomes powerful, finally suppress the other Wind Law Dao paths with the newly forged Natal Suppressing Tool, and then continue the Dao path.

This method, at first glance, seems feasible.

But the difficulty of this method lies in the fact that Zhu Linxiao's Wind Law Dao path already has an extremely powerful Natal Suppressing Tool aura.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

Even if the newly forged Natal Spirit Treasure has the owner's protection, before it can suppress the newly evolved Law Dao, it is shattered by the residual aura of the original Natal Suppressing Tool and the instinctive counterattack of the Law Dao.

It was mainly because the original Natal Suppressing Tool, Biluo Jinghong, was too powerful, having evolved and suppressed seven Wind Law Dao paths; even with Zhu Linxiao, the owner, suppressing it, and the new Natal Spirit Treasure having Zhu Linxiao, the owner, protecting it, it still had to be able to stand firm to have the possibility of proceeding to the next step.

It's like a dog being held by its owner and sent to a tiger; even if there is a protective net, one tiger roar will make it pee its pants on the spot.

The timid ones might even be scared to death.

The key to this method is that the newly forged Natal Spirit Treasure needs to be strong enough.

At least in terms of origin, it must be much stronger than the previous Natal Suppressing Tool.

According to Emperor Chi Yun's research, when Zhu Linxiao's Natal Suppressing Tool, Biluo Jinghong, was forged, the auxiliary materials for the main material were all Innate Spirit Materials, and a total of three auxiliary materials were used, one of which was an Innate Spirit Material and two were Treasure Materials.

If Zhu Linxiao re-forged a Natal Spirit Treasure to continue her Dao path, then if the main material and auxiliary materials of her Natal Spirit Treasure were Innate Treasure Materials, there would be a twenty or thirty percent possibility of it standing firm.

If she could use three Innate Treasure Materials, the possibility of it standing firm could be forty percent.

If she could use four Innate Treasure Materials, or if the main material could use Chaos Origin Material, then the possibility of it standing firm would be as high as sixty to eighty percent.

At that time, she could continue her Dao path.

This was the second solution.

But this was a method that made the Yutang Wang Fu despair.

Not to mention Chaos Origin Material.

Just say that Innate Treasure Materials are always sought after but not found.

If one used abundant financial resources to keep a close eye on the markets of various star realms, it would still be possible to buy one Innate Treasure Material.

But the problem was that at least three Innate Treasure Materials were needed, or even four!

This solution directly made Zhu Linxiao despair.

Let alone that the Yutang Wang Fu did not have such financial resources at all, even if they did, they couldn't buy them.

After listening to Zhu Shizhen finish these two methods of continuing the Dao path, Xu Jin was also somewhat helpless; after drinking several bowls of wine with Zhu Shizhen, he returned to his Mansion of the Offering with some depression.

The first method was the most direct, but currently, it was like a tiger swallowing the sky, with no way to start, and he didn't even know the identity.

Even if he knew, so what?

According to Zhu Linxiao's inference, the other party was at least a Fourth-Tribulation True Person or above, even Fifth or Sixth, very strong.

Even if he knew, he couldn't deal with it.

The second method was even more desperate.

It's the so-called "a penny stumps a hero."

Now, it's not a penny or two, but a billion pennies!

Treasure materials on the market have a price; Wind-type ones generally start at twenty drops of Cycle Star Dew.

Innate Spirit Materials are even more expensive and can only be auctioned; depending on the characteristics, the final transaction price is at least over a hundred drops, and at most over two hundred drops.

As for Wind-type Innate Treasure Materials, they are rarely seen in major star realms for decades; occasionally, when one appears, people will kill for it.

Cycle Star Dew can no longer measure its value.

Usually, it is exchanged based on its characteristics, using Innate Treasure Materials of the same level plus or minus Cycle Star Dew.

As for Chaos Origin Material?

Don't even think about it!

If it appears at a public auction, the nearby Emperors will immediately become shameless existences, turning into mysterious figures to snatch it!

It can only be said that, as far as the current situation is concerned, neither path has any possibility of completion.

Originally, Xu Jin had thought about clarifying Zhu Linxiao's problem and then finding a way to help her solve this biggest problem.

Unexpectedly, there was no possibility of solving it.

Heart-wrenching!

After a while, Xu Jin exhaled a long breath and temporarily suppressed these thoughts.

Can't be in a hurry.

Must have patience!

Wait slowly; maybe one day there will be an opportunity.

A few breaths later, Xu Jin sent all distracting thoughts and depression to the back of his mind and began his evening lesson.

The power of accumulation is the most not to be let down!

At the Hour of the Rat, a starlight fell into the Mansion of the Offering; it was Zhu Linxiao who had returned.

The first thing she did upon returning was to wash up hurriedly, then personally brought a basin of hot water, knocked on the door lightly, and only when Xu Jin opened his eyes and his aura fluctuated did she step into the quiet room.

Naturally, she crouched in front of Xu Jin and served Xu Jin. "Husband, I've been too busy these past few days, making you wait for a long time." As Zhu Linxiao held Xu Jin's right foot and began to knead it, she expressed her apology first.

"That's not the case, it's just hard on you! By the way, are there many cases in your Criminal Hall recently?" Xu Jin asked casually.

The East Profound Dao Palace's Criminal Hall, if compared, is equivalent to the highest judicial institution; ordinary cases don't reach the Criminal Hall, and normally, it wouldn't be this busy.

"Husband, there aren't many cases; those that can reach our Dao Palace Criminal Hall are all major cases, all involving Tenth-Tier experts or powerful officials; at the very least, they are cases involving Ninth-Tier experts.

It's mainly because the Imperial Palace's Patrol True Person is about to arrive, so many accumulated cases need to be cleared, and the files of many major cases need to be re-audited to avoid any omissions.

If the Imperial Palace's Patrol True Person finds faults and gives a 'medium' evaluation, not only will it implicate the Dao Palace, but it will also implicate the Commander Tian Zhang True Person, not to mention that I, the Hu Hu Dianzhu of the Criminal Hall, probably won't be able to hold the position for long.

So I have to prepare as much as possible to avoid being caught out for mistakes." Zhu Linxiao said.

"Patrol True Person?" Xu Jin was somewhat puzzled.

"Husband, it's the True Person sent by the Profound Imperial Palace to patrol various star realms, a bit like the special envoy sent by our Yutang True Person Mansion to various star domains under our command.

However, by comparison, the special envoy we send has greater power, with the power of life and death, acting as one pleases.

And this Patrol True Person must act within the rules of the Imperial Palace and various star realms; if they can't find faults, it's hard for them to make trouble out of nothing!" Zhu Linxiao said.

Hearing this, a trace of hidden worry flashed in Xu Jin's heart, "Is that so? Is this a routine or random?

Or is it a surprise attack?"

"Husband, it can't be called random or a surprise attack; it can barely be considered a routine.

Generally, the Imperial Palace patrols major star realms every ten years, but it's not at a fixed time; eight years have passed since the last patrol, so this patrol is within the normal range." Zhu Linxiao said.

Xu Jin nodded lightly, his heart relaxed slightly, but he still asked, "Who is the True Person coming? It won't be the Heaven-Punishing True Person, will it?"

Xu Jin was still somewhat worried; although the Heaven-Punishing True Person did not know him and had not discovered him, his current characteristics were still very obvious.

A genius who was so powerful at the Eighth Tier was too rare.

This was also the reason why Xu Jin wanted to quickly improve his cultivation and break through to the Ninth Tier.

Breaking through to the Ninth Tier, although conspicuous, was definitely not as conspicuous as the Eighth Tier.

Hearing this, Zhu Linxiao looked at Xu Jin and shook her head lightly, "Husband, I have asked my colleagues in the Criminal Hall of the Imperial Palace side; it's not the Heaven-Punishing True Person. He is currently fighting fiercely with the Eight Desolate Clan, and the Emperor will not move him easily; the Heaven-Punishing True Person's combat power is superb, and he will not leave easily."

Xu Jin had originally wanted to ask if the person coming had any relationship with the Heaven-Punishing True Person.

But after thinking about it, he didn't ask again.

It would only increase his troubles.

The Patrol True Person coming must be in the center of the Profound Imperial Palace, and the Heaven-Punishing True Person is the number one True Person battle general under the East Profound Emperor, so he must have some relationship with the Heaven-Punishing True Person.

However, since it was related, Xu Jin still had to be a little careful.

After thinking about it, Xu Jin asked again, "You said before that the old man Bixuan has been looking for trouble with you, wanting to remove your position as Hu Hu Dianzhu of the Criminal Hall; is there such a possibility this time?"

Hearing this, Zhu Linxiao's slender hand paused slightly, and then she said, "This is also the reason why I have been busy recently!

Normally, the matters of the Criminal Hall are not handled well, but major cases come from thousands of worlds under the star realm; if someone makes trouble from it, and there is an internal traitor to uncover the lid, it's hard to say.

But husband, please set your heart at ease; I have been comprehensively re-auditing the major cases of these past few years, especially those related to Bixuan, to exclude possible risks.

It's fine."

"Hmm, I believe you."

Xu Jin nodded lightly, and then handed out a token, "Take this; it should be useful at a critical moment."

"This..."

The Eldest Princess Zhu Linxiao, who was pressing Xu Jin's feet, didn't care at first, but the moment she saw the token, her gaze froze, and her beautiful eyes widened sharply; if it weren't for her sufficient cultivation of temperament, she would have almost exclaimed.

"Profound Saint Order?

Husband, where did you get this?" Zhu Linxiao was directly surprised, her beautiful brows trembling.

"Just tell me if it's useful to you?" Xu Jin smiled.

"Useful, absolutely very useful! However, I can't take it; this thing should be kept by you, husband!

If you are discovered by that Heaven-Punishing True Person, you should use this Saint Order to become an Imperial Palace Saint Child before being found by the Heaven-Punishing True Person.

As long as you obtain the status of an Imperial Palace Saint Child, even the Heaven-Punishing True Person won't dare to deal with you at will." Zhu Linxiao said.

"You take it first!

I should be able to obtain the status of an Imperial Palace Saint Child, but not now." Xu Jin said.

Hearing this, Zhu Linxiao did not insist anymore but obediently accepted this Profound Saint Order.

"Since you said so, husband, then I will accept it first!

I have also figured it out just now; the fact that our Yutang True Person Mansion only has one Profound Saint Order is only known to our Yutang Wang Fu, but outsiders don't know!

As long as I show this treasure, I don't need to use it, and it can bring enough deterrent force to obtain relatively fair treatment!

It is enough to be my protective talisman.

You are still the best, husband!" For a moment, Zhu Linxiao's eyes were full of admiration.

July 17th, in the Mansion of the Offering, Xu Jin, who had just finished enlightening a Space Heaven and Earth Star Will, was about to drive the Space Dao Enlightenment Stone to trigger the Space Heaven and Earth Star Will in heaven and earth for enlightenment, when the Enlightenment Stone floating in front of him suddenly turned into powder without a sound.

Xu Jin was slightly stunned, feeling a sense of loss.

All three Space Enlightenment Stones had been used up.

The effect was really good, allowing Xu Jin to successfully enlighten twelve Space Heaven and Earth Star Wills.

The enlightenment effect was slightly worse than the Lightning Enlightenment Stone, but it was also very strong.

This directly allowed the Space Law stars on Xu Jin's Arena to reach the limit of transformation.

【Space Law: Ninth Tier (99)】

After working so hard for so long, the Space Law stars on the Arena could finally transform.

The Empty Spirit he had exchanged from the Thousand Star Order last time could finally be used.

The next instant, Xu Jin directly took out the ten Empty Spirits he had prepared long ago from the Sumeru Space, and then drove the Space Law stars on the Arena.

In an instant, the Space Law stars flashed with silver light, spinning rapidly; one by one, the Empty Spirits turned into silver light and fell into the Space Law stars; in an instant, the moment the Space Law stars burst out with blinding silver light, it was as if they were boiling inside, rapidly transforming.

Inside the Space Law stars, it was as if hundreds of kinds of silver light were constantly flashing and fusing.

Gradually, the boiling silver light began to converge, and strands of incomparably profound silver starlight began to condense and surround it.

Almost simultaneously, the seven Origin stars that were originally below the Space Law stars but very close to the Space Law stars actually began to lower their height actively, as if in fear.

On the Arena, the height of the transforming Space Law stars remained unchanged, but the other Origin stars descended one after another, as if in submission.

Amidst the flashing starlight, the aura of the Space Law stars became more and more awe-inspiring.

An hour later, the silver light of the Space Law stars was completely restrained, and the transformation was complete.

The moment it was completed, the other seven Origin stars released starlight simultaneously, one by one, as if in worship or submission, projecting countless starlight to actively connect to the Space Origin stars.

In an instant, Xu Jin's Arena was filled with ten thousand zhang of starlight, incomparably brilliant.

Xu Jin admired this scene, feeling very happy.

It was done!

His Space Law stars had finally transformed into Origin stars.

Up to this point, all eight stars of his Arena that were of the power-type Law category had transformed into Origin stars.

The Space Law, the weakest short board, had been made up.

Not only was it made up, but it was no longer the weakest one.

【Space Origin: Early Stage (4)】

Xu Jin looked at the various Origin stars on the Arena connecting to the Space Origin stars as if in worship, thinking that this was just a temporary celebration, or the instinctive reaction of other Origin stars.

It should be able to calm down immediately.

But a few breaths later, Xu Jin discovered something wrong.

The starlight emitted by these major Origin stars had indeed returned to normal, not as brilliant as at the beginning.

But the dense starlight like a spider web that established the connection between the major Origin stars and the Space Origin stars seemed to have been preserved permanently.

From time to time, starlight like flowing light flashed by, which was quite magnificent.

This could also be considered a change after the transformation of the Space Law stars, which was also a good thing.

The normalization of this connection of the eight-path power allowed Xu Jin to execute the eight-star-in-one faster, and the Arena might also be able to bless the eight-star-in-one; he could try it when he had the opportunity in the future.

Xu Jin had originally thought that the changes ended here.

After observing for a hundred breaths, he was about to leave, when suddenly, the Arena trembled slightly, and at the very center where the eight high-hanging Origin stars were relative to each other, a wisp of Chaos-colored aura suddenly condensed.

Xu Jin's eyes suddenly froze, and his expression became incomparably stunned!

"What kind of change is this?"

The Mingji Star Pattern, carrying his Divine Sense, sensed it with all his might, but subsequently, Xu Jin frowned.

This wisp of power that suddenly condensed was too weak.

Weak to the point of being negligible.

However, the Chaos aura within it was certain.

It was just very weak!

Now, there was a problem.

Would it continue to be produced?

If not, then it was occasional.

If it could, then the nature would be completely different.

Thus, Xu Jin's Divine Sense stayed quietly within the Arena, observing quietly.

Ten breaths, thirty breaths, sixty breaths!

At the sixtieth breath, another wisp of Chaos surfaced between the eight Origin stars, appearing in the center, merging with the previous wisp of Chaos aura.

One hundred and twenty breaths later, the third wisp.

Half an hour later, the Chaos aura between the eight Origin stars was already strong enough.

And Xu Jin had completely determined its aura or attribute!

Chaos Rhyme Power!

This thing, the Chaos Rhyme Power aura synthesized from eight special rhyme powers, was the same; in terms of purity or strength, it was stronger.

Absolutely double!
