Chapter 534 The Key to Inheritance: Nirvana of Tribulation, Good News from the Light Chaser Society!

Qingyuzi seemed to be in a great predicament, but for some reason, seeing this wilted elm tree made Zhao Xing want to laugh.

"Your Majesty, I know you're in a hurry, but please don't rush... Let's make this clear: what do you want me to do for you?"

Qingyuzi shook her head and sighed: "You can't help me, at least not right now."

"Then I can at least help you pass on a message."

“It’s no use.” Qingyuzi sighed. “The place where I’m trapped requires the Key of Inheritance to get to, and only you and I have it, oh, I mean you at the god level. Only the two of us can get in.”

"What kind of place is so terrifying? Can't I go and inform the God King, and then ask him to save you?"

Qingyuzi smiled wryly and said, "It's not that simple. Any god-king from the Desolate Era would cause a huge commotion if they went back in time."

“Even if a God-King comes, the Bookless God-King from the evil god camp will follow. I will die then as well.”

Zhao Xing then remembered that Qing Yuzi was famous throughout the endless time and space. He used Hou Bianfa to deceive everyone, disguised himself as a general under the Wushu God King to steal secrets, and issued a warning to the Third Era of the Desolate Region.

This greatly diminished the original offensive plan of the evil god faction. Originally, the Epoch Worm and the History Worm were able to inflict a huge blow on the Crimson Star Empire, but after being betrayed, their destructive power was severely reduced.

It's easy to imagine how furious the God King Wu Shu was. Qing Yu Zi not only caused him to suffer actual losses, but also completely humiliated him.

He only relayed a message and received a contribution of 150 million! How much merit must Qingyuzi have made?

He might be wanted by more than one god-king.

"Where exactly are you trapped?" Zhao Xing couldn't help but ask a second time. He was really curious about what Lao Qing had encountered.

“I cannot tell you,” Qingyuzi said. “You should know about the matter of Shenyin, right?”

“I know, it’s a state where all cause and effect, even the origin, is gathered together.” Zhao Xing nodded.

“Yes, the place where I am trapped also has this characteristic. It is unknowable and indescribable. Only those who possess the Key of Inheritance can come and go freely.” Qing Yuzi said with a wry smile, “Actually, now that I’ve said this, you should know what kind of place I am trapped in.”

Zhao Xing was suddenly startled and subconsciously changed his form of address: "Damn, Lao Qing, the place you're talking about isn't inside the corpse of a god-king, is it?"

The elm tree swayed gently: "Yes, but I can't tell you His name. I can't bring myself to say it, and I certainly can't tell you where He is. I don't even know how to say it to get inside His body."

"Even if He dies, He can remain in a state of divine obscurity, a state that radiates across endless space and time."

"So you're telling me, how can I get the higher-ups of the Desolate Era to save me? They can't."

Upon hearing Qingyuzi's words, Zhao Xing understood.

To be rescued, you need to tell others where you are and how to get there... But Lao Qing is trapped inside the corpse of a god-king in a state of invisibility. It's impossible for him to tell them the rescue location, or even his name.

How can we save it then?
Qingyuzi is caught in a [secret affair]. Only those who also possess the [Key of Inheritance] have the right to know and can chat with each other without restriction.

"You and I are the only ones on the same side. I can't ask the evil god's faction for help, or I'll die even faster. Sigh..."

Life is tough, the elm tree sighed. Zhao Xing felt that Qingyuzi, the god of migrant work, had really suffered a lot in the past.

"So what happened before this event? And when did I become a god? Do you mean I met you in the future? When?" Zhao Xing asked a few more questions.

"Among the questions you asked, several will affect your fate. If I were to answer them, it would create many unnecessary karmic consequences for you and lower your level of seclusion."

Zhao Xing had no choice but to suppress his doubts: "Alright, then you can say whatever you can... just consider it your last words."

"..."

Qingyuzi laughed.

He jumped straight to saying his last words, and even when he was giving his last words, he still wanted to take the opportunity to make me answer a few questions. That's outrageous!

How come I didn't realize this kid was so infuriating before?

Zhao Xing also felt that he had overlooked Lao Qing's feelings, mainly because he had always thought that Lao Qing was the kind of man who was ready to die for his country.

"Old Qing, don't be angry. Look, I can't pass on your messages, nor can I help you. All I can do is chat with you, right?"

Qingyuzi actually thought Zhao Xing's words made a lot of sense. It's always better to have someone to talk to before you die than to die alone.

Besides, his spacetime incense technique could only travel to the fifth solar year, and he couldn't go any further.

"Are you sure you want to know?" Qingyuzi asked. "Even if I can only tell you selectively, as long as I bring it up, you will pay for this curiosity and have an additional causal impact."

"Think about it, we've become gods, why should we be afraid of this and that? Why be so unhappy?" Zhao Xing said with great pride.

“Alright.” Qing Yuzi didn’t hesitate any longer. “Before this secret event, I met you at a certain point in time and space. I can’t say when or where, so as not to have too much of an impact.”

Zhao Xing nodded.

"At that time, I was on the run from pursuers, while you were... well, let's just say you were adventuring."

"After we met, we went through a lot together, killing and crippling dozens of divine generals, and then we seized His 'Key of Inheritance'..."

"Wait a minute, kill or cripple dozens of divine generals?" Zhao Xing interrupted Qing Yuzi. "Really?"

"Would I lie or brag?"

Zhao Xing's expression became quite interesting, while Qing Yuzi continued:

"After that, you and I were hunted down together..."

"Wait a minute, where is my protector?"

“Now that you’ve become a god, you no longer need protectors,” Qingyuzi said. “Once you become a god, you’re a powerful being, no longer a genius who needs protection. Like me, you must contribute to the human race.”

"Also, could you please not interrupt me?"

"Oh, sorry, please continue." Zhao Xing didn't ask why he was being hunted down. If he had become a god, he would definitely have been wanted by the evil god faction if he hadn't betrayed his own.

After all, traveling through time to the past to become a god is essentially stealing resources from the evil god faction.

"Once we have obtained the Key of Inheritance, we have decided to go in immediately, because since the body of this God-King is hidden by the gods, we can temporarily escape the pursuit."

"But for some reason, just as we were about to go in, you decided to risk returning to the Desolate Era."

"Oh? I'm back again," Zhao Xing said, playing the straight man.

"I don't know if you managed to get back in the end," Qingyuzi said. "You've left, but I have to hide for now."

"After entering, I was trapped in a dead end. Now I can only turn into a tree to hide, while other evil gods who have obtained the Key of Inheritance are looking for me."

After listening, Zhao Xing also admired Lao Qing.

His talent wasn't considered extraordinary. Even when Qingyuzi was planning the sacrifice for the Dongyan Ancient Clan, he only had a 20-30% chance of becoming a god.

People like Wan Ying and Fu Ping, who are demigods, are candidates for the God Realm. This means that if Lao Qing cultivates step by step, he will not be able to reach the level of people like Wan Ying.

Gu Luohe also said that in terms of talent and comprehension, Qingyuzi was just an ordinary person.

But Lao Qing has one advantage: he's incredibly brave and dares to fight!
Having no hope of becoming a god, he somehow managed to elevate himself to godhood through a sacrifice by the Dongyan Ancient Clan.

After becoming a god, he dared to sneak into the territory of the God King and risked his life to send back intelligence, thus gaining immense merit.

I just heard that after becoming a god, he and he killed or crippled dozens of divine generals.

Through sheer boldness and meticulousness, Lao Qing carved out his own niche in the world.

Zhao Xing estimated that Lao Qing should now be at the level of a god-general.

Qingyuzi sighed, "They will find me soon. Even if they don't find me, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out. It's a pity that I haven't returned to the Desolate Era even once to return to the Temple..."

In Qingyuzi's words, there was no fear of death, but rather regret that he had not returned to the Desolate Era and returned home in glory.

"What kind of time is this to be thinking about this?" Zhao Xing laughed.

Qingyuzi's mood improved, and he smiled and said, "Having done so many things, yet having no chance to return and show off in front of others, isn't that a pity?"

"Then tell me, and I'll remember it. If you really can't go back, I'll help you spread your story."

"No need, I still want to save myself." The elm trees rustled, and the scene seemed somewhat unstable.

“Zhao Xing, my Time-Space Incense Technique has become ineffective after five solar years of the Third Era in the Desolate Region.”

"However, I think that since you are willing to accept offerings, you might be able to help me."

Perhaps after talking with Zhao Xing for a while, Qing Yuzi came up with some ways to save herself.

"What should I do?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Have you ever received offerings of incense from others? You can absorb a wave of incense to help me continue, so that the prayers generated by my spacetime incense magic can continue to flow forward to the next Yang year."

"I can give it a try."

Over the past five thousand years, as he has traveled far and wide, more and more people have come to believe in him, as the head of the ancient hills.

Most importantly, Shinto priests in various countries and regions have incorporated themselves into the ranks of the true gods, and are no longer considered hidden gods.

This is also a way for the Boundless True God to buy time. After becoming a righteous god, being recognized by the Divine Way Bureau, and widely accepting offerings, the evil gods will be slow to be converted, and there will be a reason to do so.

"Boom~"

Zhao Xing unfolded the world projection, and a phantom image of a continent appeared, with the Hunyuan Dao Tower emerging from the chaotic mist.

Divine power surged forth and entered the Palace of Destiny.

Zhao Xing received a large amount of incense offerings and continuously accepted incense offerings from various places.

"Whoo~"

A large amount of incense energy condensed and transformed into a wisp of flame.

The Sacrifice of the Primordial God contains the way of sacrifice, and Zhao Xing tried to send this wisp of flame into the light spot representing Qingyuzi.

The divine fire burned around the elm tree, and the elm tree, which had been wilted, became vibrant and full of life.

"Is it feasible?" Zhao Xing asked.

However, the elm tree had already disappeared, so they seized the opportunity to start saving themselves.

"Disappeared……"

"I hope Lao Qing is alright."

Zhao Xing sensed Qingyuzi drifting away from him, fading into the distance until it seemed as if it had never existed.

"Old Qing said he wouldn't change my fate or add to my karma, but I already know he's in danger, and I can't avoid it in the future."

Zhao Xing told Bo Wei about this matter and asked for the opinion of this learned scholar.

“What is destined to be yours will eventually be yours. Since Qingyuzi mentioned something to you, you will inevitably possess that thing when you travel through time and space, and you will also inevitably meet him.”

"Time, spacetime, fate, and cause and effect are three universal laws that influence you. When you travel through time and space, you are destined to discover some things that are related to him."

Bowei said, "Qingyuzi is quite clever. I suppose he didn't reveal too much to you, otherwise he would have suffered the consequences himself."

After receiving an explanation of the matter from Bowei, Zhao Xing went to the White Jade Five-Tiered Boat to consult the Boundless True God.

"You've gotten in touch with Qingyuzi? Didn't I tell you not to get involved with him?"

“He’s in big trouble. Ever since he thwarted the plans of the God King of No Books, he’s been hunted down in many different timelines,” said the Boundless True God. “When you travel through time and space later, if you meet him, he will inevitably be being hunted down, and you will inevitably be dragged into it.”

"Please teach me, God."

“It is probably unavoidable.” The Boundless True God shook his head: “It seems that the cause and effect between you and Qingyuzi was probably established from the moment the warning was sent.”

"To avoid this, we must start by reversing that major event, which involves the three major evil god forces, myself, the Lord of Cold Food, and also reversing the events of the Epoch Worm, the History Worm, the attack of the Celestial Behemoth, and so on. Completely change the time of five solar years of the Third Era of the Desolate Region."

"This is tantamount to bearing the backlash from the entire river of time. Even if a god-king held the complete Xuanling History Book, it would probably be very difficult for him to do it."

"I warned you not to contact Qingyuzi because he was involved in the [Chronicle of Events] in the vast space-time. Such a major event is like the Moon Goddess Palace Master using a part of the Xuanling History Book to solidify the history of the second era of the Desolate Region. It is already set and difficult to change."

The Boundless True God spoke in great detail, but Zhao Xing extracted a core idea: his encounter with Lao Qing, including seizing the Key to Inheritance, was all predetermined by the powerful Dao of Destiny.

Because the issues that Lao Qing was involved in were too high-level and involved too many aspects, there was no way to change them, and even handling the aftermath was difficult.

Just like when the Dongyan Ancient Clan made their sacrifice, they ultimately couldn't distort spacetime to change things before the Dongyan Ancient Clan's sacrifice, because the scope and the number of powerful people involved were too large, and there was even the resurrection of an ancient god.

"Qingyuzi couldn't even hide himself using the Divine Concealment Technique; he could only keep running. It's a miracle he's still alive. He even managed to use the Time-Space Incense Technique to transmit information until now. This kid is quite a legend."

As a divine general who proved the Dao of Heaven and Earth, the Boundless True God, although he thought Qingyuzi was a troublesome fellow, had to praise his abilities.

There are many people who will cause trouble, but it takes real skill to survive even after causing a major disaster.

"We cannot change the past, nor can we avoid our future encounters, so we can only let nature take its course," said the Boundless True God. "Before you travel through time and space, try to become stronger, and I will make some arrangements for you."

"Yes, thank you, God."

“What you need to worry about now is not Qingyuzi,” said the Boundless True God. “It is to guard against the desperate actions of the three evil god forces.”

"If they can't influence you for a long time, they will definitely resort to desperate measures. The Ten Directions Mountain may appear at any time, and they will not let you become a god smoothly."

Zhao Xing felt a chill run down his spine. In fact, he had also sensed that over the past five thousand years, the evil god camp had been offering sacrifices to him more and more frequently, and had even made requests to meet or make some kind of demand. However, he had always managed to evade these requests with excuses, and countless true gods had also helped to delay them.

But eventually, there will be a day when it can't be delayed any longer. The evil god's camp wants to influence him, but their core purpose is to obtain the Ten Directions Mountain Scripture or to win him over to the evil god's camp.

Both the human and the scriptures, and the evil god's camp, must obtain one of them.

The incense and offerings from the true spirits sacrificed over the past five thousand years were not for nothing.

There's always an end to a 'treating' event. If you still can't get the people and the scriptures, then it's time for 'beheading'.

But if I really give it to someone, then I'll become part of the evil god's camp. Besides, if I give it to someone else, what advantage will I have on Mount Shifang? So this is something I absolutely cannot give away.

I have protectors, so I don't have to worry about my safety for the time being, but what about the Great Zhou and all my relatives and friends?

Zhao Xing shared his concerns with the two protectors, but Palace Master Luya said nonchalantly, "Don't panic, the evil god camp won't target your friends and family."

Zhao Xing was somewhat taken aback: "What do you mean by that, Palace Master?"

"Because it can't be killed!" The little yellow duck crossed its wings, looking incredibly arrogant.

Zhao Xing looked puzzled. How could he not kill him?
Seeing his expression, Palace Master Luya couldn't help but ask, "How come you don't know? Didn't you obtain the Time Page and use it repeatedly at the Xuanling Dharma Assembly in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom? So you don't know its wonderful uses?"

"Time Pages?" Zhao Xing suddenly realized what it meant.

As the little yellow duck preened its feathers, it explained, "The Moon Goddess has found the timeline of the Third Era."

"All candidates for the Divine Realm are already on the pages of time, and their relatives and friends who have done good deeds will also be recorded in the Ten Tables and Eight Books."

"During the period before and after your breakthrough to the Divine Realm, your relatives and friends have been protected by a layer of protection. Even if they die unexpectedly outside of this layer of protection, they can be resurrected immediately."

"Of course, specific situations need to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. If your relatives or friends are killed for violating strict laws and conventions, or for defecting to believe in an evil god, they will not be protected."

"If an evil god comes to kill, that would be even better." Palace Master Luya's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "I can then apply for a time page, travel to the scene of the crime, resurrect your relatives and friends, and devour the evil god who committed the act!"

Zhao Xing's eyes lit up. Yes, the Time Page was in the Origin Heavenly Palace, but he was only at the Origin Realm back then and had not been able to unleash the power of the Time Page.

"The Mysterious Spirit History Book is the greatest trump card of the Desolate Domain Era. Whether the evil gods can accomplish what they set out to do is not up to them."

“Even if they do something wrong, the Palace Master can use the Time Page to reverse it and make them work for nothing,” Lu Ya said confidently.

"Even divine beasts of the level of the Epoch Worm, the History Worm, and the Celestial Behemoth can have some of their damage reversed."

"In other words, they acted early. The third era of the Desolate Domain had just begun, and the Palace Master had not yet found the Time Page. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to cause such a huge spacetime impact."

"Why isn't the Great Emperor in this timeline? That's because..."

"Lu Ya." Just as the little yellow duck was chirping, Yan Ao interrupted him.

Seeing this, the little yellow duck immediately shut up: "I can't say anymore, saying too much is not good for you." Zhao Xing nodded. Knowing some things means getting involved in karma. At this crucial moment of becoming a god, the less he gets involved in major events, the less karma he will have, and the higher his chances of success.

After all, the divine realm is about breaking free from the constraints of the universe's rules and escaping from the river of time and space, which naturally includes breaking free from many causal lines.

"Zhao Xing, have you decided on the time to exchange?" Yan Ao asked. "If you have completed your cultivation, you can exchange for a divine opportunity at the Origin Heavenly Palace, and then travel to the Samsara God Temple."

"Senior Yan, I am not fully ready yet."

Zhao Xing glanced at the panel.

[Fourth Layer of the Polar Region: 9999/10000]

[Third Layer of the Primordial Chaos Realm: 8512/10000]

[Second Layer of the Great Sun Qi Sea: 3465/10000]

Compared to five thousand years ago, the fourth layer of the polar continent is already close to perfection; that last little bit of progress is the key to becoming a god.

Zhao Xing was now 100% certain that if he wanted to, he could immediately achieve perfect enlightenment and reach the fifth level.

The reason why I didn't become a god in the third era of the Desolate Domain is that the original Dao of the Desolate Domain era was too weak, and the foundation of the god realm also varies in strength. When absorbing the origin, one should naturally absorb from the spacetime with a strong origin, so that the god body created will be more powerful.

As for the Primordial Chaos Realm, although the progress is good, it is still a long way from entering the next stage. The main reason is that the inner world opened up by the Primordial Divine Stone is too large, making it quite difficult to advance.

The Primordial Hill provided abundant resources for cultivation on the polar continent, but it couldn't possibly supply Zhao Xing with the resources needed to break through to the inner world of the True Self School. Zhao Xing would have to earn that money himself.

As for the second layer of the Great Sun Qi Sea, the progress can be described as slow. Five thousand years have passed, and only 1000 strands of Polar Star Origin have been collected, increasing the progress by 1000 points.

"However, this is not my main reason for waiting." Zhao Xing reported to the two divine generals, "I have cultivated the Primordial Grass Man, and my soul has split. There is still a part of my soul wandering outside. I want to find this part of my soul and merge with it."

Yan Ao asked, "You can't voluntarily disperse this part of your soul; you have to retrieve it? Is it perhaps an obstacle to becoming a god?"

"I don't know either," Zhao Xing shook his head.

Besides the fact that he had achieved perfect merit, what stood in Zhao Xing's way to becoming a god was the soul split caused by the Primordial Grass Man Technique.

The future of the Straw Man Road is uncertain, which may be a hidden danger. Although it has been getting stronger over the years, Zhao Xing doesn't know if it will be affected when he becomes a god.

He himself had become a demigod, and Liu Tianning had also become a demigod, but Zuo Qiyu was still an emperor, which clearly had an impact.

If it really has an impact, the only option is to find a way to abolish this spell and discard the soul multiplier brought by the Primordial Grass Man Spell.

Lu Ya and Yan Ao had no say in this technique; they simply did not understand it.

Zhao Xing first asked Bowei.

"In the beginning of the universe, there was a true god without calamity. This was the original intention of Gu Tianyang in creating the method. It sounds like a method of proving the Dao of Heaven and Earth, but it does not show any characteristics of proving the Dao of Heaven and Earth."

“I don’t know if it will hinder your ascension to godhood.” Bowei deduced for a moment, a hint of doubt in his eyes. “Logically, if you can keep improving your realm, and your teacher Liu Tianning can too, then Zuo Qiyu should also be able to enter the demigod realm.”

"But it is Zuo Qiyu who is stuck in place, which is not normal."

"A single law should not exhibit multiple characteristics."

Zhao Xing pondered, "Elder, do you think that if Zuo Qiyu reincarnates and cultivates again, he can destroy this secret technique?"

“It should be possible.” Bowei nodded. “Through the Samsara Realm of the Samsara Temple, Zuo Qiyu can actively reincarnate, but he has never done so. Perhaps it is because all his cultivation is focused on this and he is unwilling to give it up.”

Unable to get an answer from Bowei, Zhao Xing sought out another expert, Liu Tianning himself, in the Primordial Void City.

"There's no need to destroy it, nor to wait for your divided soul to return. The independence of the divided soul in the Primordial Grass Man Technique makes it special."

“My answer is that you can break through directly, the only drawback is that the splitting of your soul will affect your mind,” Liu Tianning said.

Why is the teacher so certain?

"Because I have made some progress over the past few thousand years."

"Oh? What's the progress, teacher?" Zhao Xing asked curiously.

"The Primordial Grass Man Technique is modeled after the Void Ancestor, who is one of the God Emperors. The upper limit of this technique should not be limited to the Emperor level."

"However, considering that Gu Tianyang created the technique during the Emperor level, it is not very perfect, so I made some adjustments to it."

"The teacher can make adjustments to it?" Zhao Xing was somewhat shocked.

Spells are classified into two categories: the refined type and the expansion type. Expansion type spells, like the Eight Methods of the Diejie Mountain that I created, can be continuously improved within the framework of Taoist theory.

Therefore, the laws of Diejie Mountain became stronger and stronger, and the power of their spells also increased.

The most subtle spells, like the straw doll spell, will collapse if they are even slightly off. They cannot be increased or decreased in any way. Even if they can take shape after being increased or decreased, the effect will be greatly changed, which is already a different kind of spell.

Without a doubt, the Primordial Grass Man Technique is the pinnacle of exquisite magic. Its unique features, such as teleportation without distance, soul splitting, and independent tribulation, make it impossible to preserve these effects if the spell is altered. In such cases, it cannot be called the Primordial Grass Man Technique.

Old Liu can actually modify it? Is that still the Primordial Grass Man Method?

“As I just said, this method was created by imitating the Life Dao Diagram of the Ancestor Xu. I have collected all the methods of the Ancestor Xu that I could find. For this purpose, I even made a special trip to the Origin Heavenly Palace to learn the ‘Eating Calamity Method’ that you brought back before and later perfected.”

“After the modification, the new Primordial Grass Man Technique possesses two talents: ‘Eating Calamity’ and ‘Nirvana’,” Liu Tianning said.

"Eating Calamity, Nirvana?" Zhao Xing looked somewhat shocked. Although he didn't know what Nirvana's effects were, he knew about the Eating Calamity Technique.

Du Yun is the most outstanding martial artist in cultivating the Food Calamity Technique. Old Liu actually managed to integrate this technique into the Primordial Grass Man Technique.

At this moment, Zuo Qiyu, who had been listening in, also opened his eyes and looked at Liu Tianning with a complicated expression.

He never expected that the magic he had studied for so many years was not as good as Liu Tianning's understanding.

Liu Tianning was able to make such significant improvements!
"Don't look at me like that," Liu Tianning said with a smile. "The name sounds very imposing, but it doesn't have that much power. We've only made some progress."

"The straw man who eats the calamity is not as powerful as a Qi Sect martial artist who has truly cultivated the calamity-eating technique. As for Nirvana, it still only exists in theory and cannot be passed on to you."

“Even so, Brother Liu is still the most powerful master of straw doll magic I have ever seen,” Zuo Qiyu exclaimed. “You far surpass me.”

After Liu Tianning's sermon, neither Zhao Xing nor Zuo Qiyu learned the new Primordial Grass Man Technique.

The main problem is that the new spells are still in their infancy. Liu Tianning himself hasn't perfected them yet, so how can he teach them to others?
Before leaving, Zhao Xing bid farewell, and Liu Tianning saw him off out of Taixu City.

"Master, there's no need to see me off any further."

"Disciple, be careful," Liu Tianning suddenly transmitted telepathically. "I feel he is still alive."

Zhao Xing remained calm and replied telepathically, "Teacher, did you sense it? Did you have a specific feeling about him? Where is he?"

“No, it was just intuition,” Liu Tianning said. “It was an intuition that arose the moment I modified this method.”

"Assuming he is still alive, he probably has some grand schemes up his sleeve."

"Zuo Qiyu cannot advance, nor can Jin Yan, but you and I can continue to move forward. If this method is for selecting offerings, then you and I are the fattest food supplements on this offering table."

"Be careful," Liu Tianning repeated.

"I understand, teacher."

……

With Liu Tianning's explanation, Zhao Xing understood the situation.

"Even if the divided soul cannot be found immediately, there is no need to rush."

“If I go to the Black Sky Wasteland now, it would be tantamount to giving the three evil god forces of the Five Abyss Thunder God, the Undying Underworld God, and the Bookless City an opportunity.”

"It might even expose the relationship between the clone and Kuang Chuan."

"Waiting for the clone to return is the best option."

"However, I can't wait too long; I must exchange it within a thousand years," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Delaying for too long would be very bad. In addition, the time when the Ten Directions Mountain will appear in the Third Era is also approaching.

The best choice is to first become a free and unfettered god, and then go to the Ten Directions Mountain to seek enlightenment from heaven and earth.

"Zhao Sinong~"

"Zhao Sinong~"

Suddenly, Zhao Xing heard someone calling his name again.

At first glance, Zhao Xing thought someone was offering a sacrifice to him again, but the next moment he realized that this was not a voice transmitted by the Path of the Mind, but a real voice coming from a nearby Yang Star.

"Hmm? It's the Sun Symbol. Someone is sending me a message through the Yang Star." Zhao Xing felt the Great Sun Sacred Body vibrating. The frequency of the Yang Star's vibration formed a unique signal, constantly calling out to him. This unique fluctuation was also reflected in the Qi Sea within his body.

"Could it be that someone from the Light Chaser Society replied?"

swoosh~
Zhao Xing immediately teleported to a super-first-class star system near the Primordial Realm and found the Giant Sun Star of the Manya Star System.

"Om~"

Zhao Xing decoded a section of the sun symbol, and the complete information was quickly revealed.

"As expected, it's a reply from the Light Chasing Society. Five thousand years! That's truly remarkable!"

Five thousand years ago, I obtained the contact information of the three leaders of the Chasing Light Society from Feng Chen and sent messages to the three Venerables Xu Yang, Ji Wen, and Ke Xi through the Giant Sun Star.

Accompanied by the endless radiance of the sun, which continued to spread into the depths of the universe, five thousand years later, Zhao Xing finally received a reply.

"Two thousand five hundred years have passed since they came and went. I wonder how far these three people have flown."

The powerful members of the Chasing Light Society are almost all outside the Spirit Realm. Zhao Xing estimated that these three have already left the largest universe territory ruled by the Five Emperors.

He had given up hope of them, but to his surprise, he received a reply.

“With each return, a cause-and-effect connection is formed. However, due to the great distance and the many obstacles encountered along the way, even the Great Dao of Cause and Effect will weaken.”

"I don't know if I'll be able to get in touch with them in time."

The contents of the Sun Symbol are a unique method of causal communication. Zhao Xing spent three days learning it, and then sat cross-legged on this giant sun star.

hum~
The vibration frequency of the entire giant sun star changed, and about three months later, Zhao Xing finally had a faint causal connection.

The next moment, a figure of light appeared in front of Zhao Xing.

"Zhao Sinong?" Guangren spoke first.

"Venerable Xuyang?" Zhao Xing asked tentatively, because the connection was too weak for him to be sure who was on the other end.

“It is me,” Guangren said. “The message was sent two thousand five hundred years ago. It seems that you, Zhao Sinong, have captured the Sun Symbol and learned the Sun Karma Technique that I sent you.”

"Sinong Zhao, time is of the essence, let's get to the point."

"You want the origin of Polaris? I have it here."

“Since leaving the Spirit Realm, the three Venerables, Ji Wen, and Ke Xi, have collected a great deal of Polar Star Light.”

“You are the head of the Ancient Hill, and you were recommended by Elder Feng.”

"We can sell you some at a low price, but we don't plan to come back anytime soon."

"If you want to make a transaction, there are only two ways."

"Please speak," Zhao Xing said, suppressing his excitement.

“First, we need to wait for our return, then the amount available for trade will be larger,” Venerable Xuyang said. “The amount available for sale is twenty to thirty thousand strands of Polar Star Origin.”

Twenty or thirty thousand strands? Zhao Xing was dumbfounded.

What he had previously obtained from the Divine Physician in Hemp Robes was only twenty strands of the Extreme Star Origin, and with these, he cultivated to the second level of the Great Sun Qi Sea.

After five thousand years of hard work, they collected less than a thousand strands.

Keep in mind that he is already the head of the Ancient Hill, has connections in the Primordial Realm, and is a candidate for the Divine Realm.

With such a vast network of power and connections, and with such immense human and material resources, this is all that has been collected in five thousand years.

It is clear that the origin of the polar star is indeed difficult to collect, and even if he becomes a god, he will not gain more by staying here.

Venerable Xu Yang claimed he could sell him twenty to thirty thousand strands of Polar Star Origin! And that's a low price?!

"Venerable Xuyang, when will you be back?" Zhao Xing asked, his breathing quickening.

“I don’t know.” Venerable Xuyang shook his head. “We, the light chasers, were initially prepared not to return and did not set a return date. After all, it takes too long for us to come back and forth, and it is too much of a waste of time and energy.”

“Many dangerous places can be crossed once, but not necessarily a second time. The risk factor here is very high, and I believe Zhao Sinong can understand that.”

“Yes.” Zhao Xing sighed helplessly. Ever since he obtained the “Nine Heavens and Ten Maps”, Zhao Xing knew that the universe was vast and full of wonders and dangers beyond imagination. Even gods might die, let alone the three of them, who were only demigods.

"Please tell me the second method."

“The second way is for Zhao Sinong to go to the headquarters of the Chasing Light Society. We have an Aurora Transmission Realm there,” said Venerable Xuyang.

"Within this Aurora Transmission Realm, there is a hidden magic array whose sole function is to transmit the origin of the aurora."

"It can enable the aurora source to be teleported in a specific direction, traversing endless spatial distances and appearing within the Transmission Realm in an extremely short time."

"There are two Aurora Arrays, one inside the Transmission Realm and the other we carry with us."

"The three of us had originally agreed to send some Polar Star Light back to our hometown every ten thousand years for our society's members to study."

"At the same time, it also earns some of the company's operating funds."

Zhao Xing understood the operating model of the Chasing Light Society; these people did not engage in any productive work and were almost all academic talents.

Bowei was reluctant to hire scholars when integrating them, firstly because they were expensive, secondly because they were not good at research, and thirdly because they produced very few results.

The Polar Star Origin is said to be very precious, but in reality, there are only two types of people who need it: one is the agricultural minister of the Celestial Timing Sect. However, those who can use the Polar Star Origin must at least cultivate the Celestial Timing Sect's divine techniques.

Zhao Xing's divine-level cultivation techniques from the Heavenly Time Sect were all obtained unintentionally from the Boundless True God; there is almost no one else in this era who knows them.

Secondly, historians study the history reflected in the origin of the polar star. However, after the origin of the polar star is transmitted back, the history during the transmission process will cover a large amount of the previously preserved history, leaving only the pure origin. Therefore, the research value is greatly reduced.

Thirdly, a very small number of other professions use certain secret techniques, such as Qi Sect martial artists, formation masters, scholars, etc., but the demand is not large, and people will not buy them if the price is too high.

Good things need to find the right buyers. The Chasing Light Society is the kind of organization that can't make ends meet and even has to rely on its members to generate income out of love.

"The Chasing Light Society needs to cultivate talent. Even if the three of us die one day, there can still be new strong people to follow in our footsteps and explore."

"Therefore, for the second transaction method, Zhao Sinong doesn't even need to give up divine objects; at most, demigod-level resources will suffice," Venerable Xuyang said sincerely.

"These resources are intended as reserves for our members and for some of our relatives and friends. We have abandoned many things for our ideals and have failed to shoulder the responsibilities of clan chief, father, and even king. We are truly sorry to them."

Zhao Xing felt great respect for the group of explorers and immediately agreed, "Venerable Xuyang, please rest assured, I will definitely handle it well and make the most of this money."

"Thank you very much, Zhao Sinong." Venerable Xuyang said happily, "Thank you so much."

"No, I should be thanking you," Zhao Xing said. "The three of you have made tremendous contributions to the human race and have also sacrificed a great deal."

After chatting for a while, Venerable Xuyang finally finalized the details of the transaction with Zhao Xing.

They will send back at least five thousand strands of the Polar Star's essence in batches over the next hundred years.

Because of transmission losses, this is the maximum quantity that can be obtained in the short term.

Zhao Xing was responsible for paying the corresponding Five Emperor Coins to the members designated by Venerable Xuyang.

After finalizing the details, the causal clone also dissipated, and Zhao Xing could no longer sense the presence of Venerable Xuyang.

A month later, Zhao Xing arrived at the headquarters of the Chasing Light Society and entered the Aurora Transmission Realm.

Within the transmission realm, Zhao Xing met the person in charge and quickly began the first transmission of the Polar Star Origin.
