Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1206 - 18: The Results of Two and a Half Years of Training, The First Gatebreaker! (Part 5)
"The third condition, integrating the Life Soul and Seven Spirits through the Spiritual Energy Secret Method into the Heaven and Earth Rules, influencing the world from the inside out."
"Meeting all three conditions, that is the true Rule Realm."
"In the Xuanhuang Realm of the Primordial Qi Era, reaching this point in the path of enlightenment is basically the end, with only a very few able to continue forward, even they might not know how they achieved it, unable to leave a legacy to guide future generations."
"Standing at this threshold, looking towards the direction of the Great Dao, everything is blurry; if not for the ’Purple Moon Origin’ guiding, it is very hard to see the path ahead clearly."
Objectively speaking, the effect of the Tian Qi Soul Device is still very powerful; after all, this is known as the [Ascending Soul Device], but the speed of progress is not as fast as at the beginning.
"One year has passed, I wonder what the situation outside is now, has anyone broken through the first hurdle."
Zhao Xing sent out a soul and ran out.
...
A year later, upon emerging, the situation was completely different, with very few people in the square.
"What’s going on, a year ago there were over five hundred people, now there are only a few, could they all be inside the hall meditating?"
Zhao Xing was somewhat confused, logically speaking, more people should be gathering, why are there so few?
His gaze swept around and immediately found a familiar face.
Marquis Ling Huan.
Back then, Zhao Xing encountered an assassination squad in Tianhe Prefecture, with the support squad sent by King Heavenly Destiny and Luo Hou King, which included Dragon Abyss Mansion Master, Marquis Ling Huan, Heavenly Food Palace Master, King Shenluo.
Marquis Ling Huan is also a cultivator of the Derivation God Decision, he is undergoing the soul test of Su Fairy.
"Marquis Ling Huan, do you know what happened outside, why are there so many fewer people here compared to a year ago?" Zhao Xing asked.
Marquis Ling Huan’s form was clearly also a soul division, but most of his energy was on the main body inside the hall, making this soul division appear somewhat dull and mechanical.
"Another war broke out, two months ago."
"Dragon Abyss Mansion Master is dead, Heavenly Food Palace Master is also dead."
"Many people have died."
"What was the cause?"
Marquis Ling Huan said: "In the past year, the Outer Alliance found that the previous peace talks were too unfavorable for them, so two months ago, they tore up the agreement and launched an even larger-scale war."
"Due to the war, fewer Outer Alliance people are coming down, and we have to resist, many strong figures have also been mobilized upward."
Zhao Xing listened quietly, it was apparent they were forced into a corner.
War is for profit, if the profit is unsatisfactory, then naturally it has to be fought.
"With the support of the Sect World, along with Japan’s alliance, Southern Barbarian Royal Court’s fortifications, supplies, Divine Weapons, and transportation standards, the high-quality strong figures are almost equivalent to those of Great Zhou, and even slightly surpass them."
"The direction of the war is decided only by top-tier strong figures, hence although the scale of movement this time is smaller than before, the intensity is much greater."
"Many people have died."
Marquis Ling Huan said blankly, "I don’t know why we must fight, currently, the tests here are too challenging, more like a trap set by Outer Heaven Visitors, he seems to be toying with us..."
"That’s enough, Marquis Ling Huan, you should rest." Zhao Xing frowned and interrupted.
Marquis Ling Huan remained silent, merely nodding quietly.
Zhao Xing sent out a soul division flying outward, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.
"The losses must be significant, even someone like Marquis Ling Huan has wavered in his belief about the war."
If not too many people died, watching friends and family die one by one, Marquis Ling Huan would definitely not have wavered.
This proves that in the second war, Great Zhou suffered considerable losses as well.
"The forces of the Outer Alliance are sufficient to contend toe-to-toe with Great Zhou."
Zhao Xing quickly ascended to the Ju Zi Palace.
Before finding Liu Tianning, he heard the roaring voice of Lu Ying from the side hall.
"What are you fighting, I ask you, Jiang Yu, what are you fighting?"
"Triple Alliance City was allocated eight Heavy Weapon Camps and provided the Eight-direction Mixed Elements Formation, yet you still managed to lose?... Don’t give me any excuses!"
"How come the enemy’s Mechanical Master dared to make amends within the bombing range? How come the Military Supervisor you led is so afraid of death? Didn’t you assure me they were elite? Hmm?"
"I was blind to recommend you as Junior Director to His Majesty! Couldn’t see that you were a cowardly useless person!"
"To atone with death? Fine! I’ll chop you down right now..."
"Grand Minister of Agriculture, don’t act impulsively."
"Quickly take Mr. Jiang away."
"Calm down." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
"..."
A commotion sounded from the Palace of Work, as if something had been smashed to the ground.
Zhao Xing did not enter, he went straight to the Minister of Agriculture Palace.
At this time, there were dozens of Liu Tianning moving between different rooms within the Minister of Agriculture Palace.
Seeing Zhao Xing approaching, one of them waved to Zhao Xing.
"Grand Minister of Agriculture." Zhao Xing, seeing there were people around, also addressed according to their position.
"Hmm." Liu Tianning waved his hand, dismissing the others from the room.
"I just passed by the Palace of Work and heard Lu Ying about to chop someone..."
"You mean Jiang Yu?" Liu Tianning said, "He indeed made a major mistake, the position of Junior Director is no longer tenable, dismissal is certain."
"The enemy is the same." Liu Tianning took out a stack of files: "Both the enemy and our court have had losses, but also successes."
Zhao Xing took out the casualty list to view, the casualty figures of both sides were astonishing.
No wonder there were so few people below, everyone has gone to fight!
Support and interception, attack and defense. The whole Western Extreme Continent, you could say is fighting everywhere!
He even saw some familiar names on the list of the fallen:
Yun Duo, the director of Yunzhong Institute.
’Feng Boping,’ the director of Wind Travel Institute, the one who always wrote to him urging him to learn the Wind Technique.
