Chapter 429: Time-Returning Dream Technique and Luck Elixir! Qing Yuzi Reappears!

"What kind of magic did Brother Ji create?" Liu Tianning and Yun Tiandao both looked at him curiously.

"I named it [Time Dream Technique]." Ji Si said.

"Time Dream Return Technique?" Liu Tianning and Yun Tiandao pondered the meaning of it. "I wonder what effect it has?"

Emperor Wu immediately said, "Ji Si, why don't you show them how to do it?"

"Okay." Ji Si stood up and then extended her hand to invite, "Prince Taihe, Brother Yun, and Grand Minister of Agriculture, please go to sleep and be more natural."

Zhao Xing, Liu Tianning and Yun Tiandao immediately did as they were told.

At their current stage, sleeping is no longer necessary for them, but taking a nap once in a while makes them more relaxed.

Sleeping and dreaming can both be actively controlled.

The three of them closed their eyes and fell into a deep sleep, and then Ji Si also closed her eyes.

One thousand five hundred years ago, the territory of the demon clan.

Yun Tiandao stood on the Nine-Curved Ladder leading to the Demon Realm, the stone steps were covered with frost that had not melted for thousands of years.

This temporary camp was built against the boundary mountain. The main body of the pass was cast with meteorite iron, and the surface was covered with bronze reliefs of repressive runes.

The stars above his head were twinkling, but the Tiangang Big Dipper Formation did not bring Yun Tiandao a sense of security.

Because a lunar eclipse is happening and support from the demon army is on the way, there is not much time left for him.

He has been fighting for a hundred years, and this is the fifth large-scale attack. But can he really rush in and rescue his lover and Emperor Xia?

Yun Tiandao looked determined as he walked down the stone steps and began to inspect the military camp.

The soldiers wiped their arrows with talisman water, the battle flags fluttered in the strong wind, the ashes of the burning talismans formed a warning totem in the air, the red moon was in the sky, the sea of ​​clouds surged like boiling water, and the grass and trees grew backwards.

When the wind blew through the bronze arrow tower of Nanyuan Demon Gate, it brought with it the sound of a knife scraping against bones.

Thirty-six black battle flags were fluttering on the top of the city wall. The demon-suppressing talismans painted with cinnabar on the flags were burning with faint blue flames. The ashes fell on the soldiers' shoulder armor and condensed into tiny blood-red frost flowers.

"General, it's time to rest. Your injuries are not fully healed yet." The old doctor flew over with a medicine box on his back.

"The demons have already crossed the seventh ice barrier. I can't rest." Yun Tiandao shook his head.

"You must rest and receive treatment." The old doctor insisted, "Otherwise I will not be able to explain."

"Okay." Yun Tiandao followed the old doctor into the marching hall and then lay down.

The old doctor began to give Yun Tiandao acupuncture. The silver needles pierced into his head, and Yun Tiandao began to fall asleep.

In his dream, he, Zhao Xing, Liu Tianning, Ji Si and Ji Che gathered in a quiet room.

"Brother Yun, after you wake up, please repeat my actions." Ji Si suddenly said.

"Ji Si? Why did I dream about you? What is this…"

The dream began to break down.

One thousand eight hundred years ago, Shenhua Taoist Temple was the place where Lord Qianhua practiced.

"Liu Tianning, are you crazy? The ninth level of the Devil's Heart Cave is for Dao Realm cultivators. Are you going to die?!"

"Thank you for your advice, senior brother, but I believe I can do it." Liu Tianning looked determined and strode into the cave.

Demons, dreams...

Liu Tianning lay quietly in the dark cave, accepting the test of the Demonic Cave.

He, Zhao Xing, Yun Tiandao, Ji Si and Ji Che gathered in a quiet room.

"King Taihe, please repeat my actions after you wake up."

"Ji Si? The Demon Heart Cave is real enough..." Liu Tianning snorted coldly.

…………

Jiachen Pass, inside the Yun Pavilion.

Ji Si suddenly opened her eyes, and at the same time, Liu Tianning and Yun Tiandao also opened their eyes.

Ji Si first glanced at Zhao Xing, then said to Yun Tiandao and Liu Tianning: "You two, please think carefully, have I ever appeared in your dreams?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Yun Tiandao and Liu Tianning's eyes, and then they nodded in unison.

"Remember what I said?"

"remember."

Ji Si stopped talking and made a gesture of invitation.

Then Yun Tiandao and Liu Tianning both drew a bloody mark on their thumbs.

The two people's movements are exactly the same!
"This is the Time Travelling Technique." Ji Si said, "I had a conversation with you many years ago through my dream."

"what?"

"real or fake."

"That's true." Liu Tianning thought intently, "I suddenly remembered that I met Master Ji in the Demon Cave."

"I can confirm that this is not a psychic attack or an illusion, but something that happened in the past."

“I am sure of that.” Yun Tiandao felt a little unbelievable: “It was during the treatment on the eve of my attack on the Demon Pass… How many years have passed? It’s really amazing!”

"Wait, why hasn't Zhao Xing woken up yet?" Liu Tianning looked at Zhao Xing who still had his eyes closed.

Ji Si said helplessly: "I don't know why, I can't trace back to any dream that the Grand Minister of Agriculture had. Therefore, I can't establish any connection with him. It seems that my magical power is still insufficient."

"I woke up." Zhao Xing suddenly opened his eyes. "I had a dream, too, Ji Si. This is not your problem."

…………

In Zhao Xing’s dream.

The sky is surrounded by clouds and mist, and the golden light is brilliant.

The light condensed into a stone platform and two long benches.

A figure walked out of the mist. After seeing it clearly, Zhao Xing was a little stunned: "Teacher?!"

The person who came was Qing Yuzi!
"Sit down." Qingyuzi, or the Qingyu God, stretched out his hand and asked Zhao Xing to sit down.

"Yes." Zhao Xing sat down obediently.

"Teacher, why do you appear in my dream?"

"If you could be more obedient, I wouldn't appear suddenly." Qing Yuzi snorted.

"I'm restless?" Zhao Xing was stunned. "I don't know where to start."

"You transferred the ancient doctor Tianchen, Emperor Lingyuan and others to the Siyue Wilderness. What big thing do you want to do?" Qing Yuzi said.

"..." Zhao Xing was speechless. He suspected that Lao Qing had installed surveillance on him. Otherwise, how could he know this?

"Don't doubt that I'm monitoring you. I don't have that much free time." Qing Yuzi said, "I discovered that his movements were related to you through monitoring the ancient doctor Tianchen."

Zhao Xing was stunned again. The ancient doctor Tianchen was actually under surveillance by Qing Yuzi?

Why was he being monitored by Qing Yuzi?
"Have you forgotten how I became a god?" Qing Yuzi said, "The ancient doctor and the ancient god clan have a close relationship, not to mention that I am a member of the Samsara Temple."

Zhao Xing suddenly realized that the Dongyan ancient tribe had resurrected an ancient god, and Lao Qing became a god by stealing the other party's power. There is an inseparable relationship between them.

If the ancient doctor is related to the ancient god, then it makes sense that Qing Yuzi, or the Temple of Samsara, is monitoring him.

"He's a lunatic." Qing Yuzi said, "I discovered that your karma is already connected to him. If you get too close, your life will be in danger, and you may not even be able to revive after you die."

Zhao Xing was shocked. In his impression, the ancient doctor had nothing to do with a madman. He even had a very good reputation and was highly respected in the Xuanling Star Region.

But Qing Yuzi gave a completely opposite evaluation.

"Okay, I understand." Zhao Xing nodded.

"Take it." Qing Yuzi pushed a jade slip over.

"This is?"

"The sequel to the Three Gods' Palace of Destiny, the great magical power stage of the secret method of 'Reincarnation'."

Seeing Zhao Xing's strange expression, Qing Yuzi said unhappily: "Don't get the wrong idea. The main function of the great magical power of "Reincarnation" is not to steal the Yanshen Tablet, but to prevent cause and effect from being bound."

"You have become the Gu family's Taixu Grass Man. It won't work without the Soul Technique to control it."

Zhao Xing swore: "I will never do such a thing. I don't have the ability like you, Master."

Qing Yuzi sneered, "You have no ability? You are quite capable."

"I haven't seen you for thousands of years. Not only have you passed the test of Taichu City, you are also entangled with Zuo Qiyu, and you are also connected with the next ruler of the Xuecheng. Now you are involved with the ancient doctor... What else do you want to do?"

"Oh yes, you still want to go back to Xuanhuang Realm."

Zhao Xing smiled awkwardly: "I can't hide anything from you."

Yes, this time Zhao Xing gathered with the people from the Great Zhou at Jiachen Pass to discuss the matter of returning to the Xuanhuang Realm.

Because the times now are different from the past, he has already established a firm foothold in the empire, and the development of Siyue Wasteland has attracted a lot of attention, so it should not be a problem for him to take time out to return to his hometown in Chenluo Wasteland.

Wang Tianzhi is still in prison at the Jiyuan House! It's time to get him out of prison.

"Don't even think about the trip to Xuanhuang." Qing Yuzi poured a basin of cold water on Zhao Xing.

"Master, all the dynasties that ascended to the heavens in the Xuanhuang Realm would go back once. It would be strange if I never thought of going back." Zhao Xing gave his own logic.

"It's very dangerous. You can't go back now." Qing Yuzi shook his head.

Zhao Xing even felt that there was a hint of fear in Lao Qing's tone.

Even Lao Qing is afraid? This is weird! What is in the Xuanhuang Realm?
"If I don't go back, can I just bring back a message?" Zhao Xing settled for the next best option.

"I have a friend who developed a spell called 'Time Dream'."

Qing Yuzi thought for a moment and said, "I am neither a fortune teller nor a historian of the galaxy. I can only say that you should strike a balance."

"If you try once and it doesn't work, don't try again."

"Yes, I understand."

…………

The new magic developed by Ji Si can communicate with the past through dreams, which makes it possible to inform Wang Tianzhi.

If Ji Si was still very weak before and could not play a big role at all, the current Ji Si can play a big role!

Ji Si, who is proficient in both destiny and history, has the aura of a founder of a certain school!

So after Zhao Xing came out of the dream, he asked, "Master Ji, how far back can the effect of your spell be traced?"

Ji Si replied: "The situation is very complicated. First of all, it depends on the difference in cultivation between the recipient and the caster. Secondly, it depends on whether there is a close intersection in history. Thirdly, it depends on the spatial distance. The avenue of time and space is one and inseparable. The greater the distance, the harder it will be for me to succeed."

Yun Tian said: "What's the price?"

Ji Si smiled and said, "Since the effect is uncertain, the cost is also unknown. It may be very high or very low."

"For example, you just cut your thumb. This is the anchor I left behind. History and the future are connected, and the information I conveyed is insignificant, so the cost of performing this method is very small."

Yun Tiandao looked at the thumb curiously: "What if Liu Tianning and I don't do it?"

"I will suffer backlash." Ji Si said.

"How does the price compare to the Time Letter?" Liu Tianning asked.

"Same." Ji Si said, "Just more secretive and more effective."

"How can it be the same?" Liu Tianning was puzzled: "The past is fixed, but the future has infinite possibilities. Shouldn't it be more costly to influence the past than to influence the future?"

Ji Si said, "Because what just happened is the future that happened at a past time point, so theoretically what you said is correct. Only after studying as a space historian did I understand that the cost of modifying the past and predicting the future is actually the same."

Liu, Yun and the other two all looked confused.

As the saying goes, different trades are like different mountains. When Ji Si started to talk about the legal principles of fate and history, they were a little confused. Zhao Xing could understand it because he had always paid attention to Ji Si's growth and had given some guidance on the conception of this magic.

At this point, Zhao Xing sent a message to Emperor Wu and Ji Si:
"Master Ji, Your Majesty, I have something to tell you."

"That's right." Emperor Wu responded, "I also have something to talk to you about."

…………

The following party consisted of four people, and Liu Tianning was excluded.

Because only four people knew that the Xuanhuang Realm still existed: Yun Tiandao, Ji Che, Ji Si, and Zhao Xing.

Since Qing Yuzi said that we still can't go back, there is no need to let Lao Liu join in and increase the risk.

"What do you mean, we can't go home yet?" Yun Tiandao frowned, "Why?"

He also wanted to take his Taoist partner and Emperor Xia back to the Xuanhuang Realm, which would help restore their memories.

But now Zhao Xing said that he couldn't go back.

Yun Tiandao had no idea about the twists and turns involved and was very confused.

"It's hard to say." Zhao Xing shook his head: "Anyway, this is the current situation. We have one chance. Try to contact Xuanhuang Realm. If this opportunity fails, we can only continue to wait."

"Well." Yun Tiandao could only give up the idea of ​​going back.

"Ji Si, it's up to you." Zhao Xing said.

"I understand." Ji Si nodded.

In the following month, Ji Si dug out old items related to Wang Tianzhi and performed spells continuously.

Zhao Xing carved a wooden statue of a green elm and placed it in the room as a patron saint for this spell.

Since Lao Qing has agreed, he can't just stand by and watch.

Zhao Xing even felt that Qing Yuzi did not come into his dream for his safety, but came specifically for this matter.

A month later, Ji Si walked out of the room.

"How?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Not sure." Ji Si shook her head. "Whether Wang Tianzhi can receive the message depends on whether there is any feedback later. This method is not suitable for real-time transmission and is slow to take effect, but it is stable."

"Maybe it will take him one or two years to receive it, or maybe it will take hundreds or thousands of years."

Zhao Xing nodded.

Afterwards, the four of them sealed and archived Wang Tianzhi’s memory, so that he would not remember this matter unless he encountered a special event.

"Huh? What are we doing here?" Emperor Wu frowned.

"What happened in this month?" Yun Tiandao was also a little confused.

The trouble with memory sealing is that you will forget everything you just talked about and will have to think about what you just did.

Fortunately, Ji Si and Zhao Xing were well prepared for this kind of operation. A card flew out of their arms at the same time, indicating that a memory seal had just been performed.

"It seems that what Big Brother wanted to tell us has been done." Ji Che smiled, "Then I should also talk to Big Brother about another matter."

…………

The second party began, but this time Yun Tiandao was excluded and Liu Tianning was called in.

Zhao Xing was puzzled by this, and Ji Si said:
"This is an internal matter of the Great Zhou."

"Although Yun Tiandao is from the same hometown, he is unwilling to join the Great Zhou, so we can only give up."

Ji Che said regretfully: "It was possible before, but now that he has found Emperor Xia, it is even more impossible for him to join the Great Zhou."

Zhao Xing asked: "What exactly does your majesty want to say? Why must Yun Tiandao be excluded?"

He thought that Yun Tiandao should be one of them, and this would inevitably discourage Yun Tiandao.

Ji Che said nothing, but just spread out his palm, and something filled with golden mist that looked like a pill appeared.

"Hmm? This is..." Zhao Xing and Liu Tianning took a look and both felt that they had some connection with this golden elixir.

"This is the Qiyun Golden Pill, which I condensed with the Qiyun of the Great Zhou." Ji Che said: "The power of Qiyun of this dynasty has four effects. One is to increase lifespan, two is to infuse luck, three is to protect the soul, and four is to improve the realm."

"After entering the Xuanling Star Region, the system of the Qiyun Dynasty fell into a certain bottleneck, but now there has been a new breakthrough."

Zhao Xing noticed that at this time Ji Si was in the Yin-Yang realm, and Liu Tianning was in the Yin-Yang realm.

But Emperor Wu has already reached the realm of life and death!
Ji Che spread out his other hand, and a golden gate appeared with coiled dragons entwined around it, and civil and military officials stood in the hall.

Zhao Xing also saw his own and Liu Tianning's shadows.

"The Great Zhou has gone through more than four thousand years of development. Although we had the disastrous defeat at the Annihilation Corridor and encountered some setbacks, we still developed a lot of territory and population, and the number of strong people has continued to increase."

"When you entered the Primordial Realm, we also obtained many treasures of luck and related ancient books from many ruins when we were exploring outside the domain."

"One of them is suspected to be an ancient artifact from the Five Emperors period. It contains some secrets of the Great Dao of Fate. Ji Si and I have been comprehending it together for three thousand years, and finally broke the shackles of the original Dynasty of Fate."

"Brother, brother-in-law, this Qiyun Golden Pill is one of the results of comprehending the Qiyun Dao."

"Any one of you who takes it can choose between two effects: your luck will rise by three levels, or you will break through to the next level."

Zhao Xing and Liu Tianning were shocked.

The luck has risen to the third level, or can it break through to the next level?
"Your Majesty, is this true?" Liu Tianning couldn't believe it.

"Of course. If you don't believe me, you can choose someone to try." Ji Che said with a smile.

Zhao Xing set his eyes on the golden palace in Ji Che's hand, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything special about it, because the detection function of the panel could only detect living things, but not equipment.

"Your Majesty, what is the price of the condensed golden elixir of luck?" Zhao Xing asked.

"It consumes 30% of the Great Zhou's national fortune." Ji Che said in a deep voice: "If the person who takes it dies, it will have serious consequences for the Great Zhou. All citizens, including me, will stagnate in their cultivation and become very unlucky."

"If you die, it's equivalent to losing a part of the country's luck. If you don't die, everything will be fine."

Zhao Xing was a little stunned. He didn't expect that Ji Che would really go down the path of the Qiyun Dynasty and make a breakthrough.

In this life, I have been leading Zhou Yi to rise rapidly, and it has had such an effect.

"It's really an unexpected success. Judging from the effect alone, the effect of the Qiyun Golden Pill is already stronger than a single Fifth Prince coin."

Zhao Xing recalled the effects of the Five Emperors' Coins.

If you hold a Five Emperors Coin, your luck will automatically increase by two levels. If you hold five coins, your luck will increase by ten levels.

And the effect remains constant until the 30th level!
The 'Rui Huang Qian' of the Five Emperors' coins all start at 100 billion Chixing coins. However, this is only the 'child coin'. If it is a 'mother coin' that can add three levels, the price will be more expensive, and the price of a set will be even higher.

Zhao Xing did not have any of the Five Emperors' coins on him, only an ancient platinum coin.

In the past, Zhao Xing was not interested in the path of becoming a god through luck, nor did he pay much attention to it, but the development of the Great Zhou was a little beyond his expectations.

"Brother, who among you will take this golden elixir of luck?" Ji Che asked.

"Give it to the teacher." Zhao Xing thought: "I don't have a big demand for a breakthrough."

He is still improving the limit of his origin, as two of the three factions' origins have not yet been completed.

"Give it to Zhao Xing." Liu Tianning also gave in: "You can use it to increase your third-level luck, not to break through."

"Teacher, my luck is already quite good." Zhao Xing said, "And I am a first-level sea envoy, a coral-level member of the Primordial Realm. I don't need more luck to resist the unknown risks during exploration."

In the early stages of the exploration, Zhao Xing planned to work with Emperor Hongshan to gain some merits, and then practice at the same time. If he didn't run around everywhere, the risk factor would be very low.

Even if they want to run around, they will send Taixu Straw Man out.

Liu Tianning is different. Lord Qianhua of Shenhua Taoist Temple has no say at all in such a place and such a big event.

There are so many lords, and the Lord of Beihe is still a lord, but he can't even get a third-level envoy unless he does it himself.

The two masters and apprentices pushed each other, and Ji Che felt helpless: "There must be a choice. I have spent a lot of effort. You can't let me disperse again."

Liu Tianning said domineeringly: "I am the teacher, you are the disciple, don't you even listen to the master's orders? Zhao Xing, you come and take the Qiyun Golden Pill, I don't want to say it a second time!"

Without saying anything, Zhao Xing immediately took out the Grand Minister of Agriculture's seal from his bosom and said, "Liu Tianning, listen to my orders!"

Liu Tianning's eyes flashed with surprise: "You, you bastard, why are you trying to do this to me?"

Zhao Xing smiled and said, "Although you are my mentor, we are discussing government affairs now. I am the Minister of Agriculture, and you are only the Minister of Agriculture."

"Liu Tianning, just obey my orders!"

As he was speaking, Zhao Xing had even finished writing the official document regarding the disposal of the Qiyun Golden Elixir.

"Snapped!"

Soon, the seal of the Grand Minister of Agriculture fell.

Looking at Zhao Xing's graceful back as he left, Liu Tianning felt extremely annoyed!
If he had known earlier, he should not have abdicated!

"What a wicked disciple!"

…………

The third meeting was held two years and six months later.

The five of them gathered again.

"The Empire's exploration is massive. The determination to develop the northwestern wasteland is far stronger than any other time!"

“If the Siyue Wasteland can be opened up, it means that we have walked out of the desolate and barren low-spiritual energy area and may discover a vast and rich new spiritual area.”

Zhao Xing stood in the hall and gave an impassioned speech: "Although the Red Star Empire is powerful, there are no more opportunities in the country. After many years of establishment, the class stratification has become very serious."

"The cultivator families control all kinds of highly profitable businesses and territories. Whether it is an individual or a family, it is as difficult to climb up as it is to turn the wasteland into a spiritual realm."

"The major ancient countries even control the spiritual energy index and divide the practice areas, strictly prohibiting non-citizens from practicing!"

"While exploring unknown territories, it is very likely that we will discover new origin realms, emperor-level arms, or even legendary arms. There are also many precious non-renewable minerals, materials for building reincarnation soldiers, and even natural divine objects... Everything is possible."

"Those who dare not get involved or are hesitant are destined to be eliminated in the future."

"We must step out of our comfort zone and join in this exploration in order to stand out in the short term!"

……

"...In the long run, the process of the Xuanling star domain becoming a desolate domain is unstoppable. The four Xuanling Dharma Assemblies before the Desolate Domain Era have all proved one thing: the major superpowers are extremely pessimistic about the future of the Xuanling star domain." Scholar Bowei was standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling mirror, speaking excitedly.

On the other side of the mirror stood a figure with a mutilated face that looked corroded. It was Beans from the Annihilation Corridor.

"All the data show that the proportion of people breaking through to the Samsara Realm is decreasing year by year."

"The number of geniuses has not decreased, the inheritance of Taoism has not been cut off, and the development of various professional systems has even become more prosperous. Why is this so? Because the Xuanling Star Region has entered the Nirvana Period!"

"The northern border of the Spirit Realm is getting colder and colder. Some star systems have dropped to minus 308 degrees Celsius! Even the Snow Demons, who are naturally cold-resistant, can't stand it and have begun to migrate, forced to attack the human race."

"Four eras ago, the Desolate Galaxy Belt was only 8.2 ravines long, but now it has expanded to 32.9 ravines!"

"And what did those omnipotent gods in the Xuanling Star Region do?"

Facing the excited Bo Wei, Beans shook his head in a low voice: "I don't know, sir, but I think it seems inappropriate to say these in the [General Mirror]. You know, I was expelled by Elder Zhixin, and the [General Mirror] was controlled by him..."

"They didn't do anything, they just watched from above." Bowei seemed to ignore Beans' words and continued talking to himself.

It was not until Beans reminded him again that Bowei said calmly: "Don't worry, I am the owner of the General Knowledge Mirror now."

"What?" Beans was stunned. "Could it be you?"

"Yes, I'm about to enter the eighth level of the Scholar Realm." Bowei looked at the person in the mirror, "Beans, I have a great plan, are you interested in knowing it?"

The clone was busy outside, but the original body in the original world was very leisurely.

There was still plenty of time before the departure date, and on that day, Zhao Xing and Ai Miaomiao rode on the Thousand Star Vine and came to a row of ice-blue boundary stars.

"Junior brother, we have arrived at Bingxing Prison, but what are we doing here?" Ai Miaomiao asked.

Zhao Xing thought of an old friend, and a smile appeared on his face: "Let's go to the job market."
