Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1214 - 20: Ultimate Transformation Technique! Clearance, Second Reward! (Fourteen Thousand!)_2

"Haha."

The Xuantian God Venerate drifted away.

The two elders with the character "Tian" in their names felt rather depressed by his disparagement.

Zhao Xing didn't know how to console them, because during ancient times, the Shangluo Academy was merely a servant to the Xuantian Divine Sect, hardly considered noteworthy.

In the Spiritual Energy Era, the powerful plants of the Divine Sect grew well on their own, and the Self Sect was practically irrelevant.

Even when the Divine Sect split and merged again, the Self Sect remained at the bottom of the hierarchy because all the powerful plants were controlled by the Heavenly Time and Earth Advantage factions of the Xuantian Divine Sect. They had spells but lacked plant soldiers, which left them helpless.

It wasn't until the Shangluo brothers, Shang Heng and Shangluo, emerged dramatically, innovating with the Self Theory of Heaven and Earth and creating the Ten Thousand Skill Grass Man and Heaven and Earth Planting Scripture that the situation changed.

They finally established their own sect and shook off the status of a servant and an underdog.

"Deans, let's not worry about him for now. What's the situation with this Hou Transformation Cycle?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Twelve days for a minor cycle, one hundred and twenty days for a grand circulation." Ling Tianchen said, "To pass Qing Yu Zi's test, you need to break free at the moment when Hou transformation power is strongest in the grand circulation."

"Dean, can't you break free even with Ancestor Dragon Transformation Ultimate Second Transformation?" Zhao Xing asked.

"It's difficult." Ling Tianchen shook his head. "Qing Yu Zi's test is very difficult. The life structure diagram of this body is something I've never seen before; it's not any known creature in the Xuanhuang Realm."

"The key is, its life level is extremely high. I've been trying to comprehend it for a long time, but breaking free is very challenging."

"However, during the weakest time of the Hou Transformation Cycle, I can barely break free and transform into human form."

Zhao Xing nodded, the second level's difficulty had three major points.

First is the inherent strong Hou transformation power of the Gulu Planet.

This is a controllable Hou transformation zone, combined with the planet's power, Qing Yu Zi established a Dao of incredible might.

Second is the Sky Gush Beast, a lifeform never seen before.

It does not belong in the Xuanhuang Realm, even Ling Tianchen, who is skilled in Hou transformation techniques, has never seen the life structure diagram of the Sky Gush Beast, nor found any comparable existence.

Third, the life level of the Sky Gush Beast itself is high.

Despite its cute appearance and lack of combat power, it possesses divine skills in support abilities, and such high-level life structures involve innate divine abilities, making it even harder to comprehend.

"These are the three difficulties of the second level of the inheritance test."

"Many people cannot fully restore their human form during the weak cycle and have to leave, transform back into human form, and then re-enter."

After Hou transformation, if a certain time is exceeded without changing back, the form becomes permanently fixed.

This is why, on this planet, Zhao Xing only saw Ling Tianchen, Wang Tianzhi, and Xuantian God Venerate.

He didn't find anyone else.

"Did the Grand Minister of Agriculture ever come here?" Zhao Xing asked, unsure if Lao Liu, who entered half a year ago, had passed the first level.

"Didn't see." Wang Tianzhi shook his head.

"He probably hasn't passed yet." Ling Tianchen muttered.

Liu Tianning started his challenge six months ago, two years later than the others.

Even if his Dao level reached the seventh tier, it's very difficult to create an Ultimate Skill in a short time.

Moreover, since Qing Yu Zi belongs to the Heavenly Time Sect, his test naturally favors the Heavenly Time Skill, it's normal for Liu Tianning to not have passed the first level yet.

"I have six people in front of me, have the two Deans seen any other inheritors?"

"Saw three." Ling Tianchen said, "Besides Xuantian God Venerate, one named Fog Walker and another who calls himself Hua Baotian Venerable."

Wang Tianzhi: "I also saw one, but that person retreated as soon as someone appeared."

"Hua Baotian Venerable." Zhao Xing mused on this name. Hua Baotian Venerable is the Agricultural Officer of the Great Snake Country, equivalent in authority to the Grand Minister of Agriculture of the Great Zhou.

Zhao Xing remembers him mainly because in a past life, he fought him to compete for the Dragon Elephant Divine Tree, making him a formidable foe.

Of course, by this life's standards, the mission is no longer relevant since the Dragon Elephant Divine Tree has returned home. The Great Snake Country claims it was dug up from the depths of the East Wasteland, and since nobody knew who took it back then, they say it's not technically returned but simply part of a normal transaction.

"Now, in the second level, there's me, Dean Ling, Dean Wang, Xuantian God Venerate, Fog Walker, Hua Baotian Venerable, and one person of unknown identity."

"Seven people in total, among them, Xuantian God Venerate entered the earliest and is also the most familiar, he can already partially recover and use his abilities."

"Second and third entries were by Wang Tianzhi and Ling Tianchen, though Wang Tianzhi, despite entering second, is slower in the second level compared to Ling Tianchen, because he doesn't specialize in Hou transformation technique, it's relatively weaker compared to his other spells."

"Fourth is Fog Walker, fifth is unknown identity, sixth is Hua Baotian Venerable, seventh is me."

"Ling Tianchen and Wang Tianzhi haven't faced off with the fourth, fifth, and sixth entrants, and their strength is unknown." Zhao Xing pondered.

It's normal not to have engaged them, since entering later, even if they wanted to fight, moving out via Gulu seven times would immediately take them away.

"The second level might result in fatalities. As strength recovery is slow, and the Sky Gush Beast has decent defensive power, but as time progresses, once someone's strength recovers to a certain threshold, they can kill the other candidates."

"Continuously fleeing by Gulu Gulu won't get you through the second level. If you're not on Gulu Star to experience Hou transformation, how can you break free from restraints?"

"The space of the second level is so small, with a diameter of only twenty kilometers on Gulu Star, for the strong, it's really too cramped."
