Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1189 - 15: Ancient Hill, Qingyu Boundary Star
It’s better to lay it all out than pretend not to know.
When Zhao Xing responded in Ancient Tongue, the entire corridor suddenly lit up.
"Buzz~"
The mural on the wall suddenly cracked open, revealing a passage.
"Please come in, fellow Daoist," a voice echoed from within.
Zhao Xing walked steadily into the passage.
A flash of light passed.
He found himself in a Water Mansion, with the estate enveloped in water.
Everything around him was out of place compared to the Xuanhuang Realm.
On the desk, light shifted, reflecting certain scenes, while the transparent columns on each side displayed many symbols that seemed to be calculating something.
There were many orderly tables and chairs around, and fruit baskets were placed on them, indicating it was possibly a banquet hall.
On the main seat was a figure dressed in a star-dotted vestment robe, resting hands on a staff, head bowed in thought.
At the base of the steps to the main seat sat four translucent White Bones cross-legged.
When Zhao Xing looked closer, he found the figure in the star magic robe was also composed of White Bones.
"All dead?"
Zhao Xing was startled.
"Then who was speaking just now..."
Just as he had this thought, the star magic robe on the main seat emitted strands of starlight.
Then a wisp of green energy appeared.
The starlight adorned the green energy, gathering into a human shape.
Zhao Xing suddenly comprehended.
"Establishing Tao Dharma Body!"
In the Establishing Tao Realm, besides being able to alter Heaven and Earth Rules, one can also create an Establishing Tao Dharma Body, which remains even if the person dies.
Of course, over time, the strength of the Establishing Tao Dharma Body would gradually weaken.
Through the passage of time, the depletion of spiritual energy, and drastic world changes, even the Establishing Tao Dharma Body may dissipate.
As the Establishing Tao Dharma Body gathered, it slightly bowed towards Zhao Xing:
"Daoist friend, my name is ’Qing Yu Zi.’"
"I am the master of Qingyu Border Star, belonging to the ’Yuanhai Ancient Country’ in the Ancient Kingdoms Alliance of the Desolate Domain."
Zhao Xing listened quietly, understanding that this person named Qing Yu Zi was already dead.
The Establishing Tao Dharma Body was specifically to convey final words.
"Qingyu Border Star? Never heard of it. I’ve heard of the Ancient Kingdoms Alliance of the Desolate Domain, but is there this Yuanhai Ancient Country?" Zhao Xing frowned.
What is a Boundary Star?
It’s a Life Planet in the universe comparable to small worlds like the Xuanhuang Realm.
Boundary Stars and small worlds share a commonality: rule constraints.
To leave, certain conditions and strengths are required.
Generally speaking, in the universe, only those in the Ascension Realm have the strength to leave Boundary Stars and small worlds.
"Qing Yu Zi claims to be the master of the Qingyu Border Star; his strength should have surpassed the Establishing Tao Realm, reaching the Origin Realm stage, though it’s unclear which stage within the Origin Three Realms he belongs to," Zhao Xing thought.
The Origin Realm is also stratified; the first and second realms navigate the universe with difficulty, relying on tools.
Only reaching the Origin Third Realm can one rely solely on their own power for interstellar travel.
With tools, navigating the universe isn’t impossible.
Qing Yu Zi continued: "I, along with two friends, accepted a mission from the Ancient Kingdoms Alliance of the Desolate Domain to explore a secret realm in the universe, only to be ambushed by hostile forces."
"Both my friends and I sustained severe injuries, leaving us no choice but to descend into the Xuanhuang Realm to recuperate."
"Originally, we planned to leave once recovered, not intending to disturb the people of this world."
"Regrettably, we encountered the Xuanhuang Realm’s extinction cycle, where spiritual energy suddenly diminished in an exceedingly short time."
"Correspondingly, the world’s rule original protection also rapidly strengthened."
"Our injuries were too severe, unable to escape the constraints; my two friends passed away within two hundred thousand years."
"I managed to recover to the Primordial Early Stage, yet could not leave the Xuanhuang Realm, for the Ascension rules here were exceptionally absurd, as a single person couldn’t ascend, and with the depletion of spiritual energy, this realm’s origin continued absorbing my energy!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xing found himself at a loss for words.
The three of Qing Yu Zi’s party were indeed unlucky.
First ambushed, then during their escape, seeking a resting place, and thus hastily entering a realm known as ’Xuanhuang Realm.’
Upon arrival, they barely had time to stay when realizing the realm was about to collapse.
Not only collapsing, but it was also a deceptive realm, absorbing Qing Yu Zi’s origin.
The key issue was that escape seemed impossible.
Because the Xuanhuang Realm’s original rules bound Qing Yu Zi.
Reaching the Ascension Realm, forming a team to depart, that’s the Xuanhuang Realm’s stipulation.
But to defy this rule? The Origin First Realm is insufficient.
Companions were deceased, spiritual energy exhausted, entering the Primordial Qi Era, fostering another companion proved futile since the Primordial Qi Era lacked means of ascension, unless Qing Yu Zi surpassed the Origin Realm.
Only then could the rule be defied, yet how could he possibly surpass it in the Xuanhuang Realm?
Thus directly entering a deadlock cycle.
"With no other choice, I must wait here for the spiritual energy of this world to revive," the Establishing Tao Dharma Body of Qing Yu Zi expressed a hint of helplessness.
"Upon learning the escape rules of the Xuanhuang Realm, I promptly established a power; for instance, there’s a dynasty called ’Yu Dynasty’ within this world’s Central Earth Dynasty, created by me."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xing could hardly contain himself.
Since before the Yu Dynasty, it was the Xia Dynasty.
In other words, just after the Xia Dynasty completed ascension and entered the tail end of spiritual energy revival, Qing Yu Zi arrived for recuperation.
"Truly, three unlucky souls," Zhao Xing couldn’t help silently mourning for the trio of Qing Yu Zi.
