Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1164 - 12: Beitu King, Self Domain, and Death Replacement Grass Man!_2
But Emperor Wu has just ascended to the throne, how is there already a rising momentum?
With this doubt, Zhao Xing set out from Fengjing in early April, accompanied by the deputies Mi Fei, Chen Shijie, Hu Yang, and Zhang Tianxing, along with the foreign team of Prince Jin Ke.
Divine Residence Warship, within the Marching Hall.
The Divine Residence Warship is a reward from Emperor Wu, it is a low-grade divine artifact.
As a warship, even as a low-grade treasure, it is quite remarkable, coming from one of the three imperial guards, the Divine Residence Guard.
Although Zhao Xing didn’t proactively request personnel, driving this military divine artifact still requires a considerable number of people.
Emperor Wu equipped him with five hundred Divine Residence Guards. Divine Residence, Luan Yi, and Jinwu are the emperor’s three imperial guards, which even during Emperor Jing’s pacification of barbarians were never mobilized.
Now they were entrusted to Zhao Xing, a force of five hundred.
"The Sith Clan has developed rapidly since the First Year of Da Zhi, this is quite unusual."
Zhao Xing was reviewing all the intelligence regarding the Sith Country.
He went through all the Fate Officer’s simulations and the Military Realm intelligence himself.
"Li Boqian once realized Yuan Feng at the Western Extreme Glacier, and now this Sith Clan rises and establishes its country, constantly growing, could it be that there’s truly an exceedingly strong instance at the West Pole Sea?"
"The Sith Clan’s true power surge likely started even earlier than the First Year of Da Zhi."
Zhao Xing backtracked to the Zhijing New Calendar, reviewing old intel from that era.
"The Qitian Palace also appeared during the Zhijing New Calendar period; at least the Flower Fairy was already involved in worldly affairs during that time. Could it be that Li Boqian’s glacier enlightenment, the Sith Clan’s rise to power, and the emergence of Qitian Palace are all connected?"
"All these happenings are surely not coincidental, the Western Extreme Ice Land holds great secrets!" Zhao Xing’s eyes gleamed with thought.
"In the previous life, there were superior instances existing in the Xuanhuang Realm that players hadn’t discovered, so it’s not impossible."
"If that’s the case, I should consider preparing in advance." Zhao Xing thought of the Cloud-climbing Vine seedling in the Pure Essence Space. "If something incredible is indeed discovered, I’d better cultivate my brother."
...
Tianyong State is in the eastern part of Central State, while the Western Extreme State is on the western side of Central State, the distance between them is exceptionally vast, spanning across twelve major states.
The journey is long, without something like the Li Fire Altar’s ultra-distance teleportation, maintaining such a vast empire would be impossible.
Even with preparations made in advance, taking the shortest route.
Zhao Xing, Prince Jin Ke, Bing Tu King, King Kelo, and others spent more than three months to finally enter the Western Extreme State.
Once in the Western Extreme State, they had to rely entirely on flight, as the Western Extreme State is beyond the teleportation range of the Li Fire Altar.
Even the Dao of Master Li Fire can’t touch this extremely cold state.
The journey westward only grew colder.
Reaching the western part of the Western Extreme State, they passed through various counties, where it gradually began to snow.
"Departed in April, walked over three months, and now it’s only mid-August."
"The western part of the Western Extreme State is already halfway into winter."
"The Seasonal Order of winter becomes active, all related to cold and ice, cultivation techniques, martial techniques, and spells are slightly enhanced."
"Conversely, fire element cultivation techniques, martial techniques, and spells are somewhat weakened." Zhang Tianxing stood on the ship, gazing out at the snow-falling world, "It’s really cold."
"I heard people from the West State are hairy and generally short. Ice Land people even have gill-like organs behind their ears, truly a Heavenly Time nurturing people." Hu Yang also mused.
"The data states that the Western Extreme State is the richest in the West Continent, but it seems relative." Chen Shijie overlooked the ground below, "The earth veins are weak, the soil is barren, incomparable to other states."
"Only thirty percent of my plant species can exert full combat power here, the farther west, the more serious the situation." Mi Fei closed his eyes to recuperate, introspecting the world.
"Only thirty percent?" Hu Yang and Zhang Tianxing looked at Mi Fei in surprise.
No one had come to the Western Extreme State before, each expressing different impressions.
Mi Fei’s thoughts caught the attention of the other three.
Hu Yang and Zhang Tianxing even thought Mi Fei might be bragging.
But Mi Fei wasn’t exaggerating. In the harsh environment of the small world of the Star Ruins, after serving for a long time, Mi Fei’s troops have evolved to adapt to extreme conditions.
Mi Fei didn’t want to explain to Zhang Tianxing and Hu Yang, as both were from noble families.
Over the three months, he only had a superficial acquaintance with them.
However, he got along well with Chen Shijie: "Shijie, you excel in the Earth Palace, Crack Earth, and Ksitigarbha techniques. If you could crack the earth to elevate the Yang energy and use the Earth Palace Skill to block the earth’s energy from sinking, storing the Earth Vein Power with Ksitigarbha Returning Origin, my plant species could fully exert their power."
Chen Shijie shook his head: "I don’t know if it will work when we get down there. I’ve heard some areas don’t even have ground, just ice."
Hu Yang laughed: "Even if it doesn’t work, it must work! We’re about to enter a war zone, and we can’t just let Mr. Zhao take action."
Zhang Tianxing agreed wholeheartedly: "Indeed."
The four chatted outside.
Inside the cabin, Zhao Xing discussed the situation of the Sith Country with Prince Jin Ke, Bing Tu King, King Kelo, and others.
In his past life, Zhao Xing had rarely visited the Western Extreme State, primarily because it was too poor.
There was really nothing to gain.
The Western Extreme State under Great Zhou’s control is not much smaller than Pinghai State, with only two Blessed Lands and seven Grotto Heavens.
There’s no need to mention the rest of the Western Continent.
Transportation is also extremely inconvenient.
