Chapter 521 The Theory of the Three Eras: The Sensation Caused by Zhao Xing!
"Wei Zizhan asked Zhao Sinong about it."

"Has a new chapter been published in the Dao Xian Zhou Di Biao Shu?"

Wei Zizhan's question immediately attracted the attention of a large number of guests.

As the first person to ask the question, his opening question was simple in some ways.

The Dao Xian Zhou Lun Di Bian Shu was written by Zhao Xing. It is a Daoist book he compiled himself, and it was created four thousand years ago.

Given such a long period of time, Zhao Xing could simply produce any unpublished theory.

It's difficult, really. The Meishan Dharma Assembly is not the same as the one held in the past, and the guests are of a higher caliber. If the quality isn't high, it will inevitably disappoint people.

Zhao Xing thought about it carefully and realized that his book, "Dao Xian Zhou Di Bian Shu," originally consisted of two main parts.

The first is the "Theory of the Origin of the Mesozoic Era," which belongs to the theory of epochal determination. It defines the epochs of the earth veins based on the different manifestations of the earth veins and phenomena, and focuses on distinguishing the different manifestations of the earth veins in the "spirit realm" and the "barren realm." It is a guiding theory.

The second is "The Eight Methods of Earth Change in the Diejie Mountain Soil Record", which is a specific legal treatise. He created eight kinds of magic, which were later expanded by Taigu Zhiqiu and various geomancers, and have now covered multiple categories such as underground palace magic, earth splitting magic, earth storage, mysterious earth, and earth communication.

His compilation of books also solved the problem of the Diejie Mountain in the development of the wilderness, which is why his name quickly became known as the Ten Thousand Trees.

His work, "On the Manifestation of the Dao and the Transformation of the Universe," was written four thousand years ago, when the world was still in its primordial state.

Now he has become a demigod, and apart from the Six Qi Theory of Annihilation Star, he has not created any new works for a long time.

Wei Zizhan's question is also a question that many Sinong (Minister of Agriculture) want to ask.

Zhao Xing didn't hold back and immediately returned the greeting: "In response to Venerable Meishan's question, I have a few of my humble works. Please correct them."

"I dare not presume, but I would like to hear your profound insights."

Wei Zizhan smiled politely for a moment, then sat up straight and listened attentively.

With him as a foil, a large number of guests flocked to the outer perimeter of Zhao Xing's Dharma realm to listen to his discourse.

Before long, a gentle voice came from the center of the Dharma realm:

"The Dao manifests that the universe has boundaries, eras, periods, ages, and five periods."

"The Dao manifests to form boundaries, the phenomena manifest to form cycles, Yin and Yang are the time limit, and generations succeed one another."

After only a couple of sentences, Wei Zizhan raised an eyebrow.

Because Zhao Xing's redefinition of the division of a certain cosmic period seems to be about a new methodology.

As the sacred site of the Dili School of Agriculture, the Primordial Hill's mainstream method of dividing boundaries, eras, periods, ages, and phases is: 'Earth changes form boundaries, broken veins form periods, mountains and seas divide phases, and generations succeed each other.'

This describes different phenomena from different perspectives to delineate the era of the earth's veins.

For example, the concept of "territory transformation" refers to the evolution of "small worlds" and "boundary stars" that are constantly being born throughout the cosmic era. These include the Primordial Realm, the Realm of All Things, the Realm of Nirvana, and the Super Boundary Star.

By analyzing the strength and cycle of the ley lines in three small worlds and one boundary star, we can determine the initial birth time of the small worlds and predict their destruction time.

By observing the changes in numerous small worlds, one can deduce the cosmic-level changes in the Earth's veins.

The concept of "faulted veins forming eras" refers to the different "geological eras" derived from faults in the earth's veins.

As for the "Mountains and Seas" record the unique changes of famous mountains and seas in the universe during a certain period.

The world changes, generations come and go; perhaps these changes contain the profound principles of the universe.

The Classic of Mountains and the Classic of Seas record many unique cosmic phenomena, and the "Wonderful Spectacles of a Thousand Lands" is one of these two classics.

Zhao Xing said that the manifestation of the world, the manifestation of the cycle, the yin and yang as the period, and the succession of generations are undoubtedly a challenge to mainstream doctrines.

In particular, changing the time from "mountains and seas" to "yin and yang" and seemingly incorporating the theory of "celestial timing" made Venerable Meishan somewhat worried.

If the theory of geographical advantage is placed above that of the theory of timing, that would be fine. The theory of timing has already been dismantled and distorted beyond recognition by the other two schools of thought, so it doesn't matter if it becomes a little more chaotic.

What I fear is that Zhao Xing will try to elevate the status of the Tian Shi School. This is not without precedent. Zhao Xing did write the "Six Qi Theory of Annihilation Stars". Although he talked about the principles of self and location at the time, many of his theories, in essence, were based on the Tian Shi School.

Zhao Xing was well aware that his words would be questioned by the local faction's Minister of Agriculture, but he had always treated all three factions equally and would not change his original intention because of this Dharma assembly.

Zhao Xing waved his hand, and as if time had reversed within the Dharma Realm, numerous oceans and the Diejie Mountain appeared.

Even the guests listening to the lecture from the outside could hear the sound of the waves.

"After a long period of evolution, the origin of the Great Dao began to manifest in a concentrated manner."

"As the Diejie Mountains formed in large numbers, the primordial ocean began to shrink. The concentrated collision of the origins of the Great Dao formed numerous star regions, and the ancient river region was formed. This is the manifestation of the Dao into a boundary."

The Ancient River Realm is a collective term encompassing the Xuanling Star Domain, the newly opened Tianze Star Domain, and even broader star domains, making it larger than the territory during the reign of the Five Emperors.

"The universe manifests its boundaries; this is the stage of the universe after the Primordial and Proterozoic eras."

"When Yin and Yang are in a cycle, the phenomena become clear and the six elements of Heaven and Earth alternate in a cycle, and life begins to explode at a certain period."

As Zhao Xing's voice rang out, blurry yin-yang twin stars, a frigid ocean, and chilling mountain ranges began to appear within the Dharma Realm.

The crowd was puzzled, and even Venerable Meishan didn't know what Zhao Xing was going to say. But looking at this scene of 'the manifestation of the universe', he felt a tremor in his heart, as if something extraordinary was about to happen.

At this moment, four gazes suddenly appeared from outside the Dharma Realm.

It was the divine general Lan Chuan who was preparing for the second test, and the three divine generals Lü Song, Gong Yi, and Yu Ling who witnessed it.

"I have a vague feeling that something is about to happen. What are your feelings?" General Lü Song gazed at the Dharma Realm.

“The southern part of the Dharma Realm is somewhat like a chaotic sea that has been frozen over, and the origins of various Great Daos are very similar,” Gong Yi said.

"What exactly is he saying?" Yu Ling asked curiously. "Why did it trigger the senses of us divine generals?"

"Zhao Xing is reenacting the Daoxian Zhou period through the Dharma Realm." Arakawa Shinjō's eyes showed surprise. "He must have written the 'Discourse on the Realm'."

"What?" The three generals were all somewhat surprised.

“We four are divine generals, yet his boundary decree has somehow resonated with us?”

The discussion of the Dao within a realm is called the Theory of Realms!

It is a step above the theory of time, and is generally studied only by demigods.

Anyone can study boundary theory, and this is also the best place to achieve results.

As long as you travel to many places and gain enough profound insights into the fundamental principles of the universe, you will be able to manifest what you have seen and understood in the Dharma realm.

The theory of boundaries must contain its own laws, which encompass the Great Way.

Both the Earthly and Ideological Sinian who listened to his sermons were able to benefit from them.

However, the common view is that only those in higher positions can influence those in lower positions, and only those with lower cultivation can gain enlightenment from the manifestation of the Dharma by those with higher cultivation.

Just like a scholar's state of enlightenment, the transmission of teachings and doctrines is a higher level for the scholar than for the recipient.

"Why can his theory of boundaries trigger a response from the divine realm?"

"I don't know, let's see."

Zhao Xing also entered a wonderful state at this moment. His Great Sun Qi Sea surged, and the boundless continent and Yin-Yang Nine Star System in his inner world also trembled gently.

He even vaguely sensed that the essence of time had been shaken by his own Dharma Realm, and the addition of time made his Dharma Realm deductions more realistic.

"Tao manifests as the boundary, phenomena manifest as the timeline, and Yin and Yang as the period. The Tao manifests the universe and can be divided into one realm, three generations, four ages, and twelve periods."

"The earliest and most recent period is the Baizhuo Period, with the Bailan Wasteland ley lines as the first era, and its evolutionary boundary is the maritime period and the second era."

"Whenever the White Orchid Meridian is refined using the Earth Refining Method, the Earth Splitting Method, Earth Connecting Method, Earth Storage Method, and Earth Palace Method will be activated."

Boom! A desolate zone suddenly appeared in the Dharma Realm, but it quickly shrank, revealing the earth veins, oceans, the Yin-Yang Twin Stars, and hazy clouds.

After Zhao Xing finished speaking, the meaning quickly evolved and became clearer.

Among the guests who came to witness the ceremony, Venerable Five Poisons and Venerable Jade Harvest suddenly felt puzzled after seeing this scene. They couldn't help but take a step forward, entering the inner world from the outer edge of the Dharma Realm, and began to adjust the evolution of their inner world.

Because both of them had been to the White Orchid Wasteland, the evolution and layout of their inner worlds were partly based on the White Orchid Wasteland.

The cultivation method they practice is the "Myriad Realms," which encompasses all things in the universe. The Dao essence within their inner world must be as diverse as possible in order to cultivate more powerful and diverse plant soldiers.

Logically speaking, they have been to the Bailan Wasteland many times, and while they may not have explored the entire wasteland, its domain framework is already quite complete. How could they possibly adjust it to be even more perfect?

Following Wudu and Bisui, more ego-driven Si Nong couldn't help but take a step forward.

Like a chain reaction, Zhao Xing suddenly felt his Dharma Realm operating more smoothly, the Great Sun Qi Sea churning, and he seemed to see more scenes.

Not only can it reflect the sun and stars in the universe, but it can also take in the landscapes of the inner world of the id-like Sinon.

However, Zhao Xing was unaware of these things at the time, and he also entered a strange state.

"The chaotic river, with its rapid flow, formed the three phases of Gushan, Guzhang, and Wuxue, eventually forming the present-day Southern Chaotic Sea."

Boom~~
Within the Dharma Realm, a mountain range resembling a large drum appeared.

Then another starry river, resembling a walking stick, floated and sank with the dark river of the void.

A vast expanse of pale blue stars, resembling blue mountains, stretched across the night sky.

Taihao, Pingyou, and Chuchuan, who were preparing to preach below, sensed something and were stunned for a moment before looking up at Zhao Xing's Dharma Realm.

"How come the Gushan mountain range looks like this? It's completely different from what I imagined."

"The ancient city is flat and secluded, with the earth encompassing seven stars, but thirty-six stars have evolved from here?"

"If he is wrong, then the entire Dharma realm should have collapsed."

The three of them couldn't help but put away their own Dharma realms and run into Zhao Xing's Dharma realm.

"The boundary mountain is threefold, the moon is in the wilderness, and the wilderness has the periods of Tongming, Yuehe, and Jiangshan. The original boundary is born and destroyed here. This is the threefold cycle of the Dao Manifestation Realm."

Boom~
This time, Zhao Xing couldn't help himself; the nine boundary mountains within his body emerged and resided north of the Dharma Realm.

With a "whoosh," a large amount of void rivers, carrying with them the foul air, flew out.

This time, even more farmers are affected.

All the Dili School's Si Nong who had studied the Dijie Mountain Method and the Eight Methods of Earth Transformation seemed to be drawn into the Dharma Realm to comprehend it.

This gave Zhao Xing even more to add.

Originally, Zhao Xing intended to finish his story after reaching this point.

Because the Dharma Realm manifests the changes of the universe over three periods, which is the "Theory of the Division of the Three Periods" he created.

Zhao Xing's previous travels with his clones and his later cultivation of the Great Sun Qi Sea allowed him to observe the 'Dao Manifestation' and 'Phenomenon Manifestation' of the entire Xuanling Starfield and most of the desolate regions. That is, the concrete material world and the abstract Dao Manifestation world.

His theory of boundaries has advantages, especially after the emergence of the Qiankun Hunyuan Sacred Body.

At this time, Venerable Pingyou was among those affected.

The mountain he visualized as his natal mountain was Youyou Mountain, ranked fourteenth in the Xuanling Star Region, which was a large mountain located in the Ancient Zhangshan Mountain Range.

Venerable Taihao visualized that the main mountain he was cultivating was Gushan, which was known as the third largest mountain. Venerable Chuchuan visualized the Wuxue Stars.

He should have stopped talking when he mentioned Diejie Mountain.

However, the entry of many powerful figures into his Dharma Realm provided Zhao Xing with the opportunity to continue.

At this moment, Zhao Xing's gaze turned to the southern part of the Dharma Realm, to the icy continent of the 'Chaotic Sea', which was enveloped in ice.

"When the Dao first appeared in the universe, the Great Dao of Life erupted, and countless life races flourished."

"At this time, the Great Dao has just manifested, and the universe is full of vitality. How come the first era is the Triassic?"

Zhao Xing couldn't help but continue his deductions.

"Roar!"

"Woo~~"

"Whoosh~" Soon, all the illusions before his eyes disappeared, leaving only a huge land. This land was full of life, with all kinds of powerful animals and plants emerging.

"Yes, that's right..."

Zhao Xing was about to speak when, before long, a sudden change occurred.

A chill suddenly arose from a void, followed by the collapse and shattering of countless landmasses, resulting in the annihilation of countless lives.

Even the sun was extremely faint.

A mass extinction unfolded before Zhao Xing's eyes at an alarming speed.

The bone-chilling cold made Zhao Xing's body tremble.

After emerging from the illusion, he said thoughtfully, "Before the Triassic period of the Daoxian cosmos, there was another period, which I named the 'Cold-Temperate Period.' The Cold-Temperate Period experienced a great explosion of life, which inexplicably caused a mass extinction..."

"My legal theory should be a theory of the division of the four periods!"

Zhao Xing was about to manifest it.

But at that moment, he suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold; this was not an illusion, but something real.

It was a chilling feeling, as if even the very soul was about to be annihilated.

at the same time--

"Om~"

His Dharma realm collapsed directly.

At the summit of Qingling, besides Venerable Wei Zizhan of Meishan, there was another person standing where Zhao Xing stood.

"Greetings, Lord Lan."

"Master, what brings you here?" Venerable Meishan also stood up from his meditation with his eyes closed.

He didn't understand why his master had suddenly appeared and interrupted the Dharma assembly.

Lan Chuan Shen Jiang did not answer Mei Shan Zun Zhe, but looked at Zhao Xing and telepathically transmitted: "Zhao Xing, you can no longer deduce the theory of realms."

"Why?" Zhao Xing was also puzzled.

Lan Chuan Shen Jiang announced directly to the surrounding guests: "Zhao Xing's Dharma assembly and discourse will be suspended for several days. Please leave for the time being."

The crowd was puzzled, but since the divine general had spoken, no one dared to linger. So they all left Zhao Xing's Dharma Realm and went elsewhere.

Only General Lanchuan, Venerable Meishan, and Zhao Xing remained on the mountaintop.

Zhao Xing noticed that Lan Chuan Shen Jiang was looking at him with a very complicated expression.

"In the last moments before I interrupted you, a powerful divine force, carrying the essence of time, broke through numerous obstacles and attempted to descend upon your realm of Dharma."

"what?"

"What's going on?" Zhao Xing was stunned.

"Your theory of the four eras has triggered the origin of time, and may have inadvertently led you to that person's spacetime territory."

“That is the place where He attained enlightenment, and no one is allowed to pry into His secrets.”

Zhao Xing was startled, and he quickly realized who the 'He' that General Lan Chuan was referring to was.

The master of the Cold Food Festival!

Could it be that this god-king devoured the origin of the Cold and Warm Period, causing the mass extinction event?

Arashikawa nods: "Yes, that's very likely what you think."

He had stumbled upon the lair of a god-king? Zhao Xing couldn't help but gasp.

“Every God-King will hide his own spacetime territory and the place of his enlightenment.” General Lan Chuan sighed. “If you continue to deduce using the theory of the four eras, you will find his specific time of enlightenment, which will pose a great threat to him.”

"Therefore, I have no choice but to interrupt you."

General Arashikawa was deeply moved.

Logically speaking, Zhao Xing's theory of the four eras should have been able to find the spacetime territory of a powerful figure from an opposing faction, which would have been a great achievement.

This legal treatise is enough to shock the world.

But he found the Lord of the Cold Food Festival!

This kind of god-king, even with just one avatar descending, left the entire wasteland camp helpless; his true form would be even more difficult to kill.

So what if Zhao Xing found the timeline?

The difficulty of killing the Lord of Cold Food is no different from going directly to the Crimson Star Empire and killing the Great Emperor.

In order to protect Zhao Xing, General Lan Chuan had no choice but to stop Zhao Xing from continuing the deduction, because it would be a disaster rather than a blessing.

Zhao Xing was also startled.

If you want contribution points and reputation, you first need to be alive to enjoy them.

When it comes to the God-King, his small frame is not something he can withstand.

If he dares to manifest the Dharma form of the Cold and Warm Era, he will probably be hunted down by the God King immediately.

Even Venerable Kuangchuan had a bounty of 2 million contribution points offered by the immeasurable true gods for his life. If the God King were to set a price, how much would his own life be worth?
"Don't worry," said General Lan Chuan. "No one heard your last words except me. Everyone else only heard your theory of the division of the three eras."

"Afterwards, you can tell others that you were mentally exhausted from preaching and needed to rest. In the meantime, I will help you eliminate these effects."

After all, it involved crossing time and space, and taking place during a time war between the ancient and modern worlds, so it wouldn't be easy for Zhao Xing's story to be transmitted back to the past.

"Yes." Zhao Xing listened obediently.

Even with the theory of the three-period boundary, the current struggle for the top of the mountain is enough to cause a fight. Taking too big a step could easily lead to disaster.

And indeed, things turned out exactly as Zhao Xing had imagined.

Even his work on the "Three Periods of Boundary" made him the most dazzling figure at the Meishan Dharma Assembly.

It even surpassed Kuang Chuan's "Theory of the Ancient Mountain Veins" at the Mengchuan Dharma Assembly.

Feng Chen, the Grand Elder of the Academy City who had moved to Taigu Hill, also inscribed Zhao Xing and Kuang Chuan's two new treatises on the Wandao Tree.

But Zhao Xing's position is also higher.

The Dharma assembly and discussion phase had just begun when it caused a sensation, with countless people discussing it, especially the disciples of Taigu Hill who had the advantage of being in a privileged position.

They began to spread the word about this Dharma assembly like wildfire.

"Have you heard? Every Sinong who attended Zhao Sinong's Dharma assembly made great progress."

"I've heard about it! The theory of the Three Eras is simply a masterpiece! It's said that fourteen emperors have survived the True Spirit Tribulation, and tens of thousands of disciples have broken through to the next level. I can hardly believe it!"

"What a magnificent sight! It's a pity I wasn't there."

"Yes, the theory of boundaries emphasizes on-site demonstration. As long as you hear or see it, you are learning the Way!"

"My senior brother had been stuck at the fourth level of the Five Tones Earthly Connection Technique for over 30,000 years. Yesterday, after only a brief encounter with the Dao, he broke through and came back to brag to me. I'm so envious..."

"Sinong Zhao can't just hold one event, can he?"

"Definitely not, but now it's impossible to get a pass to enter the inner mountain gate."

"Damn it."

……

The emergence of the theory of the three-period boundary led to a large number of people flocking to Meishan, hoping to hear the next performance.

Kuang Chuan's theory of the Hadean mountain veins has too high a threshold, and the Hadean Eon and Hadean Mountain are too distant, being unproven cycles, while the Dao Manifestation Eon is the most recent era.

Moreover, it offers tangible improvements, making it unnecessary to even consider where to listen to the sermon.

The great Zhao Sinong returned to Taigu Hill and gave everyone a wonderful surprise. Who wouldn't want to go and see it?

"Old Chen, did you manage to get any front-row tickets? The Dharma assembly is about to start, and we're still waiting at the outer gate?"

At a passageway between the inner and outer gates of Meishan, Xia Jing, Long Xiao, and Ye Yukong waited in a ceremonial room, each holding a star mirror, with Chen Shijie at the other end.

"Didn't you say you weren't coming?"

"The passes for the inner viewing area are all sold out," Chen Shijie said helplessly.

"Aren't you Chen, the Left Envoy of the Pengze Underground Bureau of the Ancient Hill? Do we need to notify you in advance before we come?" Long Xiao teased.

"Never mind," Xia Jing said lazily. "It's the same from the outside."

"How can they be the same? The atmosphere is completely different!"

"Don't make things difficult for Old Chen. It'll be much more comfortable inside than outside," Xia Jing said, pointing to the long queue at another entrance. "Do you know how many people are in the Meishan inner area right now?"

"How many?"

"I don't know how many, but now they're even selling tickets for people who want to escape. It's definitely going to be packed. If you want to squeeze in, go ahead and squeeze in."

"What is a 'hidden ticket'?" Ye Yukong asked, puzzled.

"It's the kind of ticket you see underground."

"Huh?" Ye Yukong was full of question marks. Was it really that exaggerated?

……

The reality was even more exaggerated than what was seen. After a short break, Zhao Xing announced that the second round would continue.

Because the first event had few attendees and was shrouded in mystery, a large influx of people followed.

Both the Boundary Transport Bureau and the Underground Transport Bureau have started selling escape tickets.

Soon, even the tickets buried in the ground were sold out.

At the foot of Meishan, you can step on someone's head every few steps as they come up for some fresh air.

“Master, this won’t do.” Cai Lingling, the disciple of Venerable Meishan, couldn’t help but complain to Wei Zizhan.

"Junior Uncle's Dharma assembly is so popular that some people are soaking in the water, and some are hiding underground... It's becoming difficult to maintain order now, and my hair is about to fall out."

At this moment, Zhao Xing and Venerable Meishan were together.

Seeing the resentful look in Cai Lingling's eyes, Zhao Xing was speechless.

Who could have imagined such a day would come?

The huge city of Meishan was surprisingly overcrowded.

"Go and find Elder Feng Chen of the Academy City," Venerable Meishan said. "Ask him to use magic to prevent more than two clones from appearing in my Meishan territory."

"This way, at least half of the seats will be freed up."

The Venerable Master Meishan, as expected of the previous abbot, is very experienced in such mundane matters.

If Zhao Xing's Dharma assembly and discussion have the benefit of improving one's strength, then not only the main body of the person attending must have come, but also their clones!
"Then we will crack down on those who resell tickets, and the pass can only be used by the person holding it."

"Let the seventy-two peaks of Meishan expand their territory further. Instruct the Boundary Management Office to move land and have the neighboring Hongshan and Lushan move as well..."

Cai Lingling hesitated and asked, "Master, will Uncle Hongshan and Uncle Lushan agree?"

"It definitely will," Wei Zizhan said calmly. "Just do as I say."

"Ok."
