Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1227 - 21: Eight Epoch Purple Light Divine Skills, Final Test Passed!

"Hahaha."

Zhao Xing felt the origin power emitted by the Taiyin Purple Moon becoming more distinct, and at the same time, a new image appeared in his mind.

"The spring of Eight Epochs, limitless brilliance, endless vitality."

The soil on the meteor beneath Zhao Xing's feet suddenly churned, as if some new shoots had sprouted.

But in the blink of an eye, they disappeared again.

"This strand of light..."

Zhao Xing carefully captured the fleeting inspiration in his mind, like a meteor streaking across the sky.

He had mastered the Three Lights Divine Water Domain, though it was a water-rule domain, its name carried light, naturally connected to the Three Suns Power.

"The power of Taiyin originates from the power of the sun. Yang gives birth to Yin, and in the spring season of Eight Epoch Purple Light, the divine light transforms barren wastelands, giving rise to vitality."

"So that's it. Qing Yu Zi's small divine power is used to create ecosystems? No wonder he gave me a [Jieqi Grand View Realm]. I should have realized this earlier."

Being able to conjure food out of nothing on a barren planet and even create a livable space for resting, albeit not forever, is certainly a divine skill of the Heavenly Time Sect!

Of course, Zhao Xing couldn't quite grasp it yet, so the sprouts that suddenly emerged withered in an instant and dispersed back into origin power.

...

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

In the blink of an eye, two and a half years had passed.

"Wangliang supports the road, the soaring serpent raises its head, creating transport vehicles, pavilions, the way, and strategies."

"The cosmic border to the north is already established."

Zhao Xing looked at the increasingly bright Purple Moon, his confidence growing.

"The north's winter reveals cold light."

"Everything is dead silent, without a trace."

Zhao Xing looked at the prairie beneath his feet, which started to wither rapidly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

It seemed as if life had never appeared here.

"The winter of Eight Epochs extinguishes all vitality, returning the origin back to the cosmos, in tune with the Heavenly Time Universe's concept of cosmic reincarnation and Yin-Yang balance."

"People only borrow a small portion of this power to survive, and should be grateful."

Zhao Xing muttered to himself.

Of course, this is the reasoning within the Heavenly Time Universe's philosophy, and is actually a method to prevent pursuit.

Once rested, it's time to move on, eliminating one's traces.

Just like a traveler in the wilderness would extinguish the campfire to prevent it from burning down the entire forest and destroying the environment, it acts as protection against darkness in a universe full of dangers.

Divine skills are Dao; if you don't intend to leave traces and don't want to be tracked through the Dao, it's best to erase them.

"The polar Northern Star position reveals another image, combined with the illumination of origin light, this supplements the cultivation technique."

Zhao Xing sat cross-legged on the meteor, quietly contemplating.

This round of cultivation took him another two and a half years.

The reason it went so fast was purely because Zhao Xing only grasped it roughly; true cultivation had yet to come.

Only when all eight epochs are complete can true understanding begin.

Of course, comprehension happens right here.

If he leaves the place set by Qing Yu Zi, without reaching the Establishing Tao Realm, there's no way he could wield divine skills.

...

Time slipped away, and it was now the 36th year of Yuan Shou.

The relic was discovered in the third year of Yuan Shou.

Zhao Xing spent five years passing the first checkpoint.

The second checkpoint took him two and a half years.

Now at the third checkpoint, he had already stayed for twenty-five years.

"Heavenly Bed, Concubine, Right Pivot, Yin De, Six Jia."

"Residing in the Heavenly Bed and being a concubine, guarded by Right Pivot Six Jia, Origin Power achieves Yin-Yang balance, accelerating cultivation speed."

Zhao Xing lazily lay on the grass bed, filled with strength; his comprehension skyrocketed as if he was in union with a top-notch beauty.

The Yin De Star Region serves as a warning line, alerting cultivators not to indulge excessively, disrupting the Yin-Yang balance.

Of course, in Mr. Zhao's view, this is pure nonsense.

In the universe, cultivators absorb origin fiercely, rarely considering accumulating Yin De.

They indulge first before anything else.

What? You say it will disrupt the universe's Yin-Yang balance?

How does that concern me? I'm just a little Kalami.

"That's about it. I'm cultivating in Qing Yu Zi's dojo, not truly in the universe; staying longer is pointless."

"But this 'Eight Epoch Purple Light' is indeed intriguing; it aligns with the Heavenly Time Dao, no wonder Yuanhai Ancient Country and Vesta are allied forces, with similar cultivation philosophies."

Zhao Xing steered his meteor into a nest of piled meteors.

"Heavenly Chef Position, food supplement."

What's the food? Naturally, it's the universe's origin.

The Eight Epoch Divine Power can be used for recovery and cultivation, not merely tending to allies' food and lodging needs.

"With Qing Yu Zi mastering the Eight Epoch Divine Power, he can be seen as a therapist."

"Even in hard times, finding a stable territory to accept clients is profitable."

"How unlucky you are, with a promising future, yet perished miserably in the Xuanhuang Realm."

As Zhao Xing neared mastering divine skills, his sympathy for Qing Yu Zi's circumstances grew.

"I'll be sure to bring your situation back to the Purple God Mansion in Yuanhai Ancient Country, whether revenge is possible depends on your support later."

In the universe edition, the souls of cause and effect roam freely, less restricted than in the Xuanhuang Realm.

There are countless ways to break a Life Soul Oath, which is why the universe edition is chaotic and dark.

Allies who swore allegiance through blood today might besiege tomorrow.

Friendly brothers today might fight over treasures tomorrow, stabbing each other.

"But his Eight Epoch Divine Power has a flaw; it has a Heavenly Chef Position but lacks an Inner Chef Position."

"Cultivating with the Taiyin Star, he missed many elements, likely due to the sect's cultivation technique."

Qing Yu Zi is the Minister of Agriculture of the Heavenly Time Sect, his secret techniques and divine skills carry a strong Heavenly Time Sect style.

If the cultivation method was complete, using the Taiyin Star to cultivate divine skills or other magic techniques should include a component to nurture the Inner Heaven and Earth.

"I've been thinking too much, having this much is already very fortunate."

Zhao Xing suddenly remembered he was still in the Xuanhuang Realm, encountering a Origin Realm Minister of Agriculture from the Heavenly Time Sect was already quite fortunate, demanding comprehensive expertise from him was excessive.

...

It's unclear how many two and a half years passed.

At a certain moment, the Purple Moon suddenly dimmed, and all surrounding vitality vanished.

Zhao Xing's Primordial Soul left the Rule Dharma Body, returning to his original self.

"Hmm?"

Zhao Xing felt the mysterious realm recede like a tide, as if entering a sage-like time.

"Buzz~"

The next moment, Qing Yu Zi's Establishing Tao Dharma Body reappeared.

"Congratulations, in just fifty-three years, you've grasped the first layer of Eight Epoch Purple Light, having passed the final test."

Zhao Xing was a bit dazed, fifty-three years already? This challenge was truly long. I wonder how the others did, whether other Dao tests yielded results?

"I never thought the Xuanhuang Realm had a genius like you; please enter here to receive the heritage."

With a casual swipe, Qing Yu Zi created a portal beside him, directly leading to the Water Mansion Zhao Xing had visited before.

"Understood." Zhao Xing bowed slightly and entered the Water Mansion.

PS: My body underwent Marquis Transformation, wearing short sleeves outside during the day, freezing at night, had a fever yesterday, and fell asleep on the keyboard while drafting, waking up close to noon, similar to having a blackout.

No choice, at this moment issuing a leave notice wouldn't be productive, better finish writing first.

Thank you all for your care, apologies for any disappointment, today I'll write just ten thousand words.
