Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1232 - 22: Bountiful Harvest, the Stunned Six Department Heads, Zhao Xing Becomes King! (Part 5)

"I'm just lucky," Zhao Xing said with a smile, "Your comprehension speed is quite rapid. At this rate, you'll succeed in about fifty years."

"Can you move freely now and have you gained permission?" Liu Tianning asked.

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded, "You can choose to continue comprehending here. I can lower the difficulty to make things smoother for you."

If Liu Tianning could learn, that would be best. With one more person mastering the Eight Epoch Purple Light Divine Power, the effect becomes stronger, meanwhile fulfilling Qing Yu Zi's last wish, a win-win situation.

"No need to comprehend now." Liu Tianning said, "The outside situation is unclear, and I, the Grand Minister of Agriculture, cannot stay here for long."

"Anyway, you've now obtained the inheritance, so you can come back anytime you wish."

"Alright." Zhao Xing nodded. "Then let's go out together."

As for Ling Tianchen, he chose to continue comprehending.

"Missing one Junior Agricultural Officer makes no difference; I comprehend the Eight Records Divine Power slowly, you'd better let me return to the second trial."

"I really want to continue comprehending on Gulu Star." Ling Tianchen stated his idea.

"Fine." Zhao Xing nodded.

He then moved Ling Tianchen to the second trial at Gulu Star.

Next, Zhao Xing moved separately to the second trial and the first trial.

Directly killing those from non-Great Zhou factions and releasing some.

Meanwhile, he closed Qing Yu Zi's inheritance trials, no longer open to the public.

A few hundred people suddenly appeared on Three Gods Square.

"What's going on? Why am I suddenly out here?"

"Hiss! Qing Yu Zi's inheritance must have found its owner!"

"Who is it? Xuantian God Venerate or Zhao Xing?"

"Divine Sovereign? Have you not noticed those moved out are all alliance members, where are the Great Zhou people?"

"Oh no, won't we die here?"

"..."

Everyone felt uneasy, but soon they saw a figure fly out from Three Gods Temple.

"You are temporarily detained by this officer, unable to leave or go out. Whether you live or die will be decided by my emperor." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

After Zhao Xing finished speaking, he controlled the dojo, imprisoning everyone in a nearby Barrier City.

He was sure to release some people, but not indiscriminately; releasing people definitely required someone to redeem them.

The people here are all Ministers of Agriculture. Killing too many would be against heaven's will. Zhao Xing figured Ji Che would certainly agree to exchange something for them.

If they refuse the ransom, recruiting or killing them later would not be too late.

"Among the strong Ministers of Agriculture from Xuanhuang Realm, not to say catching them all, seven or eight tenths of the experts are here." Liu Tianning looked at the people below, all renowned powerhouses who had now become prisoners.

"You gained such permission by passing the final trial; would passing Putta and Su Fairy's trials also grant such permissions?" Liu Tianning asked.

"In theory, those two also have dojos, capable of killing other competitors attempting the trials," Zhao Xing replied.

"And in practice?" Liu Tianning asked.

"In practice, the ultimate inheritor would never be against Great Zhou," Zhao Xing smiled, "Teacher, let's go up for now, you'll understand my meaning later."

...

Flying over the sea, arriving at Ju Zi Palace, Zhao Xing saw the sensed Ji Si.

"Zhao Xing, you came out? How is the situation?"

"Mr. Ji, don't ask me yet, tell me about the outside situation."

"In the fifty-three years you've been away, conflicts have gradually intensified between both sides, though no significant wars have occurred overall." Ji Si explained, "As for the inheritance trials, upon knowing my setup, the focus of the Outer Alliance's witches shifted to Putta's inheritance and Su Fairy's inheritance."

"Currently, people have entered the second trial of these two inheritances."

"For the Mechanism Path inheritance trial, there are 1,300 people in the first trial, and only 65 people in the second trial."

"For the Soul Path inheritance trial, there are over 3,000 in the first trial, and only eight in the second trial."

Zhao Xing nodded slightly, noting the bigger disparity in the Soul Path.

Although the Mechanism Path is vast, with large calculations exhausting the mind, as long as enough time is dedicated to learning, progress is inevitable.

But the Soul Path is different; either it works or it doesn't.

Even though Zhao Xing and King Heavenly Destiny had previously refined the Derivation God Decision, its intrinsic difficulty remains unchanged.

Of the three inheritance trials, the Soul Path is undoubtedly the hardest test.

"I'll report my findings to His Majesty after gathering the people." Zhao Xing said.

"Okay." Ji Si nodded.

However, he then hesitated, unsure whether to speak or not.

"What is it, Mr. Ji?"

"I want to ask, did you obtain any Fate Officer's treasures?" Ji Si inquired.

Zhao Xing was slightly surprised; Dao Fu Heavenly Venerable's talent in the Destiny Dao was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Obtaining the [Star Destiny Strategy] indeed meant acquiring a Fate Officer's treasure.

But Ji Si couldn't have calculated that.

For treasures at the Boundary Soldier level, he couldn't possibly figure it out; this must be intuition from Ji Si.

"Indeed, but let's talk later." Zhao Xing smiled, "Mr. Ji will definitely be pleasantly surprised."

This thing lent to Ji Si, even if he can glean some surface understanding, it will be invaluable.

Ji Si's talent is excellent; perhaps seeing it could elevate this Great Fate Officer further.

...

Shortly after arriving, in a secret hall within Ju Zi Palace, the images of the Six Department Heads, Wei Hong, Luo Hou King, Lu Ying, Tong Wensheng, and Liu Tianning appeared in the Earth Realm.

Quickly, a towering figure was projected in the main seat, it was Ji Che himself.
