Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1228 - 22: Bountiful Harvest, Stunned Six Department Heads, Zhao Xing Becomes King!

A familiar place, a familiar location.

Once again arriving at the Water Mansion, Zhao Xing saw the White Bone sitting in the main seat, leaning on a cane, wearing a vestment robe, with his head bowed.

"Buzz~"

Qing Yu Zi's Dharma Body appeared once more.

"My name is 'Qing Yu Zi', the master of Qingyu Border Star, belonging to the Purple God Mansion of Yuanhai Ancient Country in the Ancient Kingdoms Alliance of the Desolate Domain. I have already died, and what you see now is my Dharma Body..."

Qing Yu Zi's message and the message left for his 'countryman' were not very different.

The main discussion was on three questions: Who am I, where am I, and where do I want to go.

The difference was that when speaking to the inheritor, he explained more about the cosmic powers and introduced his mentorship.

Zhao Xing listened to him prattling on about a bunch of things he already knew, feeling quite helpless.

He very much wanted to leave quickly, as he had been in the final test for fifty-three years and was somewhat worried about the outside world.

But there was no option to skip this part, so he could only quietly wait for this 'cutscene' to end.

After who knows how long, Qing Yu Zi finally finished explaining his last words.

Just as Zhao Xing thought the next step was to perform a disciple ceremony and receive the treasures,

Qing Yu Zi's Dharma Body shimmered, producing a sizzling sound, and then above Qing Yu Zi's head, a scene seemed to appear—Zhao Xing's first entry into the Water Mansion.

Then, several Qing Yu Zis appeared out of nowhere from different directions and merged with one another.

After a series of vibrations, Qing Yu Zi's expression became somewhat vivid.

He looked at Zhao Xing, showing a faint smile: "I didn't expect to pass the inheritance test, only to find a dao friend from an allied power."

"Hmm, fifty-three years to break the Dojo's test, and using a more profound Star Patrol Positioning Method to reset the Taiyin Origin Star, these arrangements and divine skills must have amused the dao friend."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xing immediately became serious. He cupped his hands towards Qing Yu Zi and said, "I dare not, it's I who disturbed the dao friend."

"The dao friend's divine skills are vast, greatly broadening my horizon."

The reason Mr. Zhao was so solemn was truly because Qing Yu Zi once again exceeded his expectations.

Because the current Qing Yu Zi was no longer merely a Dharma Body, but possessed self-consciousness.

To have a Dharma Body in a small world reach such a level, there are only a few possibilities.

One is, Qing Yu Zi's dojo and Dharma Body both involved the Origin of the Xuanhuang Realm, thus the Dharma Body within his dojo could preserve a certain degree of consciousness.

Another is, Qing Yu Zi used a very powerful treasure, combined with his dojo, to communicate with Zhao Xing across hundreds of thousands of years of time and space.

The dojo inherently possesses continuity; even if a person dies long ago, the Dharma Body still exists.

A Fate Officer knows the past and future. Even back when Ji Si was in the Dragon Court, she could write letters to future recipients across decades. Naturally, the treasures of a Fate Officer in the cosmic version are stronger.

If Qing Yu Zi had such a treasure and combined it with his Origin Realm means, it would make sense.

Of course, these are just Zhao Xing's guesses, though likely quite close to the mark.

"The dao friend overpraises." Qing Yu Zi cupped his hands: "Since you have come here a second time, it proves that everything is guided by fate."

"In any case, if someone can take away my inheritance, I also have the hope of a leaf returning to its roots."

Zhao Xing immediately expressed: "Since I have received the kindness of the dao friend, after leaving the Xuanhuang Realm, I will certainly head to Yuanhai Ancient Country to return the dao friend's remains and relics."

"If the dao friend has other instructions, I can also return the treasure to the dao friend's relatives, merely borrowing the dao friend's treasures to leave the Xuanhuang Realm."

This was not mere words; for him, leaving the Xuanhuang Realm was most important, where birds fly in the high mountains and fish leap in the vast sea, he didn't necessarily need Qing Yu Zi's belongings.

Qing Yu Zi said with a smile: "Dao friend, do not underestimate me; I'm already dead, why care about the things of my life?"

"The dao friend's horizon is lofty, I dare not claim you as my disciple."

"If the dao friend escapes, should a heart for it exist, after delivering the message, you can choose a disciple for me to preach."

"Time is ruthless, now who knows how many years it's been since I died, perhaps my arrangements underground are also decaying, not to mention if there are still opportunities for ascension..."

"As for the other matters, I will not insist further."

Zhao Xing couldn't help but give another ceremonial bow, expressing his admiration for Qing Yu Zi.

The cultivation technique influences one's character, and Qing Yu Zi's character is similar to many Minister of Agriculture from the Heavenly Time Sect he had seen.

Liberated, broad-minded, living transparently.

"I will surely choose a disciple for the dao friend, to ensure the inheritance does not fade away." Zhao Xing promised. He did not make any Life Soul Oath, as there are many ways to break them.

Qing Yu Zi apparently knew this as well, he nodded and then spoke of other matters.

"If the dao friend wishes to ascend, the Southern Desolate and the Returning Ruins are the greatest obstacles."

"When I and my friends Putta and Su Fairy founded the Yu Dynasty but failed to ascend, while the timing was wrong, the obstacles of the Southern Desolate and the Returning Ruins were also key."

"Thus I later adjusted my divine skill 'Eight Epoch Purple Light', dedicating a section to attempt a breakthrough, hoping it could help the dao friend."

Zhao Xing nodded; after fifty-three years of contemplation, he had noticed something.

Because many star positions not only were missing but also deliberately adjusted, if aimed at Southern Barbarians, adjusting the Divine Power Magic Technique makes sense.
