Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1205 - 18: The Results of Two and a Half Years of Training, The First Gatebreaker! (Part 4)
"Do you know who the Blood Spirit Venerable is? Is he alive or dead?" Zhao Xing’s heart stirred, recalling his old rival.
He was always puzzled by the strength of the Blood Spirit Venerable.
Such a major event as exploding the Grotto Heaven was done by the Blood Spirit Venerable. Going to Gucheng to capture slaves, such a small task, was also carried out by him.
"The Blood Spirit Venerable? According to hierarchy, he counts as my martial nephew and serves as an agent for the forces of the Mortal World."
"In terms of sect factions, he belongs to the Tianhe Sect within the Marquis Transformation Sect. Ever since being seriously injured by Zhao Tianzun and King Heavenly Destiny, he returned to the Blood Lake to recuperate."
"Is his true form a Spirit Lake?" Zhao Xing asked with interest.
"Indeed, the Marquis Transformation Sect that entered Great Zhou back in the day only learned incomplete secret techniques. As for the Tianhe Transformation Method, they did not possess it."
"How can Marquis Transformation only have Life Transformation, without Climate Transformation or Weather Transformation?"
"If Zhao Tianzun is interested, I can..."
"Not interested." Zhao Xing drifted away lightly.
This old man was trying to tempt him with secret techniques?
Which Saint Heir could resist temptation?
"Hmph, do they take me for someone who’s never seen the world?"
Zhao Xing felt that this Fog Walker should be a branch of the Marquis Transformation Sect. His physical state was very peculiar, seemingly a mass of condensed mist, yet Zhao Xing could perceive his life core.
"The Minister of Sinong Dao is profound and vast. When the Xuantian Divine Sect split and entered Great Zhou, that branch truly lacked some secret techniques."
"A Taoist Body turned to mist, this should involve cultivating the ’Divine Fog Transformation’."
"It allows the Taoist Body to decompose into a mist state. Most attacks would be greatly weakened against such a state, or might not even hit at all."
"Now that the relics of those three unfortunate ones, Qing Yu Zi and the others, have suddenly appeared, it has likely attracted many hidden talents to emerge."
The Fog Walker was also not over 400 years old. Cultivating the Divine Fog Transformation and passing through the defenses of Great Zhou’s experts to teleport through the Sea Eye into the relics attests to the deep foundations of the Divine Sect.
"What a pity." The Fog Walker sighed, watching Zhao Xing’s divided soul float into the temple, "Such talent should have returned to the Divine Sect, but is instead bound by Great Zhou."
"However, with the Spiritual Energy about to revive, the Central Earth Dynasty will either ascend or collapse. There will be another opportunity sooner or later."
The revival of Spiritual Energy has already become the predominant view in the Sect World.
The sect forces in the Realm of Slumber are cooperating not merely due to the orders of the Wu Yue God. The key reason is their judgment based on changes occurring in the Xuanhuang Realm.
...
Returning to the Three Gods Temple, Zhao Xing’s divided soul sat down, continuing his comprehension.
"As time passes, more and more people will come in."
"I may not be the strongest Minister of Agriculture, nor am I completely certain to obtain Qing Yu Zi’s legacy."
"Now that a sudden battle has broken out in the Western Extreme State, creating a significant deviation from history, I wonder if it’s a blessing or a curse for Great Zhou."
There are too many variables, and with Qing Yu Zi’s lesson in mind, Zhao Xing has become somewhat apprehensive.
After mastering the [Tian Qi Soul Device], his progress in cultivation was rapid, yet Zhao Xing increasingly felt that manually reviving Spiritual Energy was harder than imagined.
The three of Qing Yu Zi possessed the Sun and Moon Palace, Heavenly Time Observation Realm, and numerous other rare treasures, and might even have stronger treasures. Despite this, even with two companions once at the Origin Realm, they still failed to manually revive the Spiritual Energy.
Indeed, Putta died early, but Su Fairy and Qing Yu Zi persisted for two hundred thousand years before passing.
Two hundred thousand years, did they not even have a sliver of a chance to complete the manual revival of Spiritual Energy?
"Hoo~"
Zhao Xing took a deep breath, clearing his mind of distractions.
"The road is made by walking it. First, take care of the matters at hand."
No longer thinking about it, he focused entirely on comprehending the "Purple Moon Origin."
In Zhao Xing’s plan, with a five-year deadline for breaking through, he would spend the first two and a half years meditating on the Dao to enhance the realm of the Dao.
Only in the last two and a half years would he combine "Purple Moon Origin" to embark on understanding and creating techniques.
...
Sitting in front of the Purple Moon Stele, Zhao Xing was completely absorbed in his contemplation.
Time flew by quickly, and soon it was the early spring of the fourth year of Yuan Shou.
At this time, Zhao Xing’s talents in different paths showed clear distinctions.
The fastest advancement was in the Water Element Domain, with the Three Lights Divine Water Domain having reached the sixth rank.
The worst were the Gold Element and Wood Element.
The Sun Geng Gold Domain had just reached the fourth rank, while the Wood Element’s Cangwu Domain was merely nearing the fourth rank, yet to truly break through this threshold.
"The Gold Element Path is something I’m not inherently skilled at. Among the spells I’ve learned, only the four basics of ’Yuan Feng’ were studied seriously during my research on the ’Two New Divine Talismans’ and the ’Sky Burning Locking Array’."
"The Wood Element Path, Cangwu Domain, leans towards the Life Dao rather than the pure Wood Origin. The enhancement from the Tian Qi Soul Device is minimal, so it’s relatively slower."
Earth, Fire, Wind, Thunder.
The progress was quite even, all having reached the Fifth-Rank Domains.
If forced to distinguish, the origins of Earth and Fire were slightly faster because the Five Elements True Intent had already been engraved within the Taoist Body during its formation.
Wind and Thunder required the use of the Five Elements True Intent for mutual generation, which added an extra layer.
Of course, because Wind and Thunder spells formed the foundation from past battles, the comprehension speed was not slow.
The Sky Wind Domain and Mixed Thunder Domain both reached the fifth rank.
"The Three Lights Divine Water Domain has reached the sixth rank, so the comprehension speed has slowed down." Zhao Xing stared at the massive Purple Moon. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
"From sixth to seventh rank represents a qualitative change. Entering the Rule Realm requires, among other things, a top-tier seventh-rank domain."
"The second condition is mastering the Ultimate Skill to inscribe one’s will upon the world through the law."
