Chapter 552 Remnants of Time, Becoming a God and Assassination (10,000 words)

Zhao Xing jumped into the well without feeling the water; it was more like sinking into a swamp. Once the seven-colored well water reached above his head, he stopped falling.

From the perspective of the Palace Master Tu Ning, the well water receded rapidly like the tide and eventually disappeared.

He manipulated the tombstone, placing it back on the well, and then disappeared into the cemetery.

For Zhao Xing, this time the feeling of traveling through time and space was completely different. He was surrounded by thick fog, in which some abstract golden light occasionally shone, and some dark, incomplete hollows were forming.

The body is unable to move at this moment, everything seems to slow down, only the true spirit can still think.

It was unclear how long this situation would last, but fortunately, Bovi in ​​the inner world was still communicable, so Zhao Xing listened to Bovi talk about some knowledge from the Luo Emperor era.

"The Divine Court is a divine political structure in which the Five Emperors rule the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. It is fundamentally different from the dynastic system in reality. It has no national title and is just a divine ruling system with the Five Emperors at its core."

"Therefore, when we talk about the Five Sovereigns, we are only referring to the era of a certain divine emperor, not the divine kingdom."

"At the level of God Emperor, there is no longer a need for the concept of a nation to bring life and races together. The Divine Court is more like a symbol of faith, a political structure in the form of religion."

Zhao Xing nodded. This was easy to understand; it was similar to the Heavenly Court and the Jade Emperor in Earth's mythology.

"During the reign of Emperor Luo, there were forces directly under his control, such as the Ancient Xiao God King, the Xi Tian God King, and the Wu Shu God King."

"There are also independent factions, such as the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, each with its own master, known as the Dao Lord. Some Dao Lords are merely honored by the God Emperor and do not necessarily obey the God Emperor's orders."

"Dao Lord?" Zhao Xing asked curiously, "Is this a realm?"

Bowei pondered, "According to the descriptions of the True History Party, Dao Lords are also at the God King level. It's just that their divine domains have refined a world, mastered a Great Dao of a certain time and space, or possess some kind of extremely powerful Great Dao artifact... which makes the combat power of Dao Lords significantly exceed that of the vast majority of God Kings."

"Some of them are not even afraid of the God Emperor."

"The Luo Emperor was originally the Dao Lord of the 'Di Luo Tian' in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. After the Li Emperor disappeared, he went a step further and became the God Emperor."

"Therefore, the Emperor of Luo also has the honorific titles of Lord of Luo and Lord of the Luo Dao."

"According to the four periods that the egoist class divides the universe into, the later the god emperors are, the weaker they are. So, I would presume that Emperor Luo was the weakest of the five generations of god emperors, which is why there was an independent faction in his era."

Zhao Xing asked curiously, "So what is the order of the Five Emperors?"

Bowei said, "Zu, Rui, Li, Yu, Luo, this is the order of the five generations of divine emperors as recorded by the true historical party."

"But history is shrouded in mystery, and the divine wars that traverse time and space have caused great chaos."

"This has led to later generations being unable to understand the chronological order of the existence of the first four."

"However, both the nihilists and the realists, the two major historian factions, have confirmed that Emperor Luo was the last God Emperor."

Zhao Xing: "Even those who believe in the truth of history can't confirm it?"

The True History Party records a single historical event, that is, an event that did not involve time travel for anyone.

Logically, this should be the most accurate historical source, but I don't know how chaotic it has become.

Bowei laughed and said, "The [Ancestral Emperor's Tablet] that the Moon Goddess Palace Master gave you can still be effective in the era of Emperor Luo. How can it not be chaotic? Even a God-King who believes in the true history would be completely baffled by this."

Zhao Xing thought about it carefully and realized that it made sense. Regardless of which generation the ancestor was, the fact that the ancestral emperor's tablet was effective during the reign of the Luo emperor was equivalent to the imperial sword of the previous dynasty being able to execute officials of the current dynasty.

Logically it shouldn't have worked, but it did!

So even if the true history buffs were to arrive, they'd still be stumped by this ancestral imperial tablet.

"Elder, does that mean the Lord of Cold Food Festival is also at the Dao Lord level?" Zhao Xing asked. "Does the elder know about its origins?"

Bowei raised an eyebrow and glanced at Zhao Xing, seemingly displeased that he used this person as an example. "As I just said, a Dao Lord is still a God-King. He may possess a unique Dao artifact or master a certain Dao, but he may not necessarily be the master of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

"Don't ask me anything more. Even if I knew, I wouldn't allow you to know this." Bovi pointed to the golden headband on his head.

Since that's the case, Zhao Xing had no choice but to put his doubts aside.

Perhaps when Bowei released the Lord of Cold Food, he didn't even realize which timeline the Lord of Cold Food belonged to.

"Elder, in the last solar year of the Luo Emperor era, were the Luo Emperor or the Ancient Xiao God King still alive?" Zhao Xing asked.

“No.” Bovi shook his head. “When the Fifth War of the Gods began, Emperor Luo led his people on an expedition to the past. The Divine Court was then closed off, with only a small number of people remaining to guard it.”

"It's like you can't see Emperor Crimson Star in the Third Era of the Desolate Region."

"Although the God Emperor is no longer here, the origin of the Great Dao in this time and space is far stronger than that of the Spirit Domain Era and the Desolate Domain Era. Many treasures and secret realms still exist, which cannot be taken away."

Zhao Xing nodded, just as when he ascended from the Xuanhuang Realm, the Dragon Court of the South Sea, Wuyue Divine Mountain, Daoyuan Prefecture Dojo... were still important secret realms for those who stayed behind.

“However, they existed one solar year earlier,” Bovi said. “Suppose you travel to the point in time before the start of the God War and can join the ranks of Emperor Luo, it won’t affect what happens after that point in time.”

"Just as everything you did on the Space Ship did not affect the Space Ship's destruction in the Desolate Region 341 epochs before... What, do you have acquaintances here?"

"No, I was just asking."

They weren't exactly acquaintances, just a task, a cause and effect... Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Next, Zhao Xing waited quietly for the time travel to end. The surrounding colorful curtain became thinner and thinner, and the depressions and black mist gradually decreased, indicating that the time travel was about to end.

Just then, Zhao Xing's true spirit became somewhat agitated, and the magical power within his body also began to surge.

The Seven Orifices Heart Sealing Technique and the Seven-Colored Magic Power involuntarily reminded Zhao Xing of that scene from before:
"My name is Fan Qianrou, and I am a divine-level physician under the command of Emperor Luo."

"What is sealed inside is the 'Desolate God Poison,' which you may or may not have heard of."

"However, its harm is great! Once it spreads, apart from the Emperor, other divine realms will find it difficult to resist."

……

"The Desolate God Poison is a world-destroying substance and will be of no benefit to you, fellow Daoist. I have used my last strength to activate the Seven Aperture Heart Sealing Technique, and you can retrieve it by sensing it."

……

"Fan Qianrou begs fellow Daoist to take this item back to His Majesty for disposal. If it can save my Xuanling people from a catastrophic disaster, not only will it be a great merit, but His Majesty will also reward you handsomely."

……

The long-buried cause and effect awakens as Zhao Xing travels through time, constantly reminding him to complete Fan Qianrou's mission.

However, Zhao Xing quickly suppressed the thought in his mind.

Bringing the Seven Star Cabinet to Emperor Luo will surely bring a reward; the reward for this task is definitely very generous.

However, he was not capable of ascending to the Divine Court, let alone meeting the Emperor of Luo.

Zhao Xing is not yet capable of undertaking this task.

The risk level of the mission could not be assessed.

He might not even be able to hand the item over to Emperor Luo before the other god-kings set their sights on him.

To avoid being affected, Zhao Xing didn't even bring the Seven Star Cabinet with him when traveling, but instead entrusted it to Ji Si for safekeeping.

"Om~"

When the second supernatural sensation appeared, Zhao Xing had a sudden thought and discovered that it was coming from the Heaven-Mending Technique, the artifact used to prove his Dao, within his inner world.

"It is the object by which Wei Tianchen attained enlightenment."

"It seems he really is a fish that slipped through the net during the Five Emperors era," Zhao Xing thought to himself. According to the "Theory of Time and Space" of the True History Party, Wei Tianchen is not a god-level being and has not taken away all the fate lines, causal lines, and life lines of endless time and space, so he should still be alive at this time.

"But even if we meet, I'm afraid they won't recognize me."

"But why didn't I sense it when I first traveled through time, but I do now?"

The fog was getting thinner and thinner. Zhao Xing didn't have time to think much, because he soon had a third abnormal sensation.

This time he saw a series of afterimages of blue oxen, each in a different posture. Some were pulling carts, some were carrying plows, some were fighting, and sometimes they were lame in one leg or one horn, silently shedding tears.

Storm runes flickered on the Green Ox's body, some clear and some withered... Zhao Xing looked at them and realized they seemed to be in different states at different points in time.

The senses Zhao Xing had about this blue ox made its identity clear: it was Qing Yuzi.

"Old Qing turned into a cow? Wasn't it an elm tree?" Zhao Xing wondered, but then he thought that this might be Old Qing in disguise.

"Then why can I see Lao Qing? And what does that mean?"

When in doubt, consult Bowei. Zhao Xing told Bowei about what had just happened.

“It’s a remnant of time left behind by Qingyuzi. He had a causal thread about you that he didn’t put away, so you can see him.” Bowei was somewhat surprised.

"Besides helping him become a god and delivering his message, what other connections did you have with him?"

"Why does the elder ask that?"

"You know that Qingyuzi stole the secrets of the Wushu God King City and was hunted down throughout time and space, right?"

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded.

“In that case, Qingyuzi must hide away and achieve a deep state of invisibility, otherwise he would have been finished long ago.”

Bovi raised his hand, simulating countless superimposed images of elm seeds appearing on a river. Some were trees, some were people, and some were cows, making it look like a diagram of ape-man evolution.

Then Bowei blew a breath, and all the elm seeds came to life in different times and spaces.

"Those who have never disappeared will leave traces when they travel through time and space."

"For example, if you take a treasure from a certain time and space, consume a wisp of spiritual energy, or suddenly decide to take on a disciple, then in that time and space you have interacted with the origin of all things, which will generate cause and effect. This is the state of non-divine seclusion."

"The real history party calls it the shadow of time, or the shadow of spacetime."

Then, Bowei flicked his index finger, and countless elm seeds leaped out of the water and flew toward a figure on the river. In the end, all the shadows merged into one and disappeared into the river of time.

"To conceal all traces is called divine disappearance."

"Of course, achieving absolute disappearance is extremely difficult."

"To be completely invisible is to be all alone, to be forgotten by everyone, as if you do not exist in the world."

"It's those boring gods from the Shadow Temple. They're not completely invisible; they still have friends who remember them and interact with the outside world. It's just that the Shadow Temple has very strong methods of concealment."

"Even the traces left behind are from events that cannot be altered. There's no need to worry about someone traveling through time to kill you."

Zhao Xing pondered, "For example, during the time I went to see the Moon Goddess Palace Master, this is a safe time zone where I would absolutely not be killed?"

"Well, theoretically speaking, only the God Emperor can kill you while the Moon Goddess is talking to you, so this can be considered a safe time zone."

Bowei opened his palm, and several more illusory figures of Qingyuzi appeared in and on the river: "Of course, Qingyuzi didn't achieve absolute invisibility. He left behind some residual images of time, which were specifically for you to see."

"In the timeless world, there are people everywhere who want to kill him for the bounty. The fact that he left you a thread is quite dangerous."

That's why I asked that question earlier.

Zhao Xing didn't know where to begin, after all, there were too many entanglements between Lao Qing and himself, but the most recent one was when he asked for help.

"If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine, it's not important." Bowei didn't care. "Time remnants, exposure of causal lines... these are things that free gods who cultivate the origin have to consider, but true gods who have attained the Dao of Heaven and Earth are not afraid of these at all."

“However, it’s best not to get involved in Qingyuzi’s matter,” Bowei warned. “He’s in a lot of trouble right now, and so are you. If the two of you get together, it’s definitely not going to end well.”

"Understood, Elder." Zhao Xing nodded.

……

You have arrived in the Azure God Land, at the White Phoenix Pavilion.

[Spacetime Coordinates: The Twilight Era of the Luo Emperor, Sun 1199, Boundary Star 525.]

As the mist dissipated, Zhao Xing found himself in an ancient-style palace.

After glancing at the coordinates recorded on the panel, Zhao Xing had a clear idea of ​​what was going on.

Each era of the Five Sovereigns era was named; for example, the last era was called the Twilight Era.

Because within the 120 million boundary years of this era, the polar star has disappeared, leaving only its afterglow.

"Zhao Xing, we have arrived at the White Wind Pavilion in Qing Shen Land." Lu Ya transmitted his voice: "Qing Shen Land is one of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. As for this White Wind Pavilion, it is a residence established by the Samsara Temple in Qing Shen Land."

"There are twenty-four divine generals stationed in the White Phoenix Pavilion. Don't move yet, one of them will come to guide you soon."

"Yes." Zhao Xing waited quietly.

A moment later, a white-haired man dressed in blue armor and carrying a long spear appeared at the entrance of the main hall.

"Zhao Xing, I am General Xu Feng, here to guide you."

Upon hearing this name, Zhao Xing's heart stirred.

This is because the Moon Goddess Palace Master said that General Xu Feng was a traitor.

The last time the evil god faction released the Time-Space Beast and the History Bookworm to attack the Desolate Era, this General Xu Feng provided secret assistance, allowing the beast to pass through smoothly.

However, although the Moon Goddess Palace Master has found out the truth, she has not yet revealed it.

He said at the time, "Zhao Xing, if you want to betray the Wilderness faction, something must happen for it to make sense."

"After you travel through time, Xu Fengshen will come to guide you. He will also take this opportunity to cooperate with the evil god to ambush and kill you."

"This isn't acting; I really want to kill you, so be careful."

……

"Zhao Xing pays respects to General Xu Feng."

"No need to be so polite, welcome to Baifeng Pavilion." General Xu Feng smiled warmly.

Zhao Xing glanced at the other party and found that although this General Xu Feng was a martial artist, his path was the opposite of Yan Ao's; he was a spear master skilled in spear techniques.

With a "whoosh," Xu Feng Shen Jiang flipped his hand, and a token gleaming with yellow light appeared. On it was a bird holding the sun in its beak. It had multiple layers, each with gears and pointers rotating.

"This item is called White Phoenix Devouring the Sun," General Xu Feng explained. "From the moment you obtain this treasure until the end of this era, it can help you settle your karmic ties."

"After you become a god, you won't need to run around to gather it up yourself; you can just swallow it."

"Thank you." Zhao Xing accepted the treasure and pinned it to his robe.

"Alright, come with me," General Xu Feng said with a smile. "I'll show you around the White Phoenix Pavilion."

……

The Azure God Land is a giant continent. Its coordinates correspond to more than 300 ancient kingdoms, including the Tianyou Ancient Kingdom of the Desolate Era, as well as some ancient hills and empires, and some desolate zones.

When the era of Emperor Luo ended, the ten lands split apart, transforming into countless stars and small pieces of land. Eventually, through mutual conquest and annexation during the era of the Spirit Realm, these places formed the pattern of the Desolate Realm.

As Zhao Xing walked through the White Bird Pavilion, he discovered that the spiritual energy index in the air started at 1. There were spiritual mountains and lakes everywhere, as well as many spirit beasts with high bloodlines and high-quality plants. It was practically a divine realm.

"Zhao Xing, the Great Dao is abundant in this era, and the environment is excellent. With your talent, there is no possibility of failure in becoming a free god in this time and space."

"It depends on when you want it to happen."

Xu Feng stood on a tall building, pointing to the countless spiritual mountains and marshes in front of him: "However, if you want to have a stronger foundation, it is best to choose an auspicious day."

"I would like to hear the details," Zhao Xing said respectfully.

“Every Yang year, the origin of Qing Shen Earth undergoes a cyclical change,” said General Xu Feng. “In your agricultural terms, it is spring for growth, summer for flourishing, autumn for harvest, and winter for storage.”

"For example, it is now 525, which is the summer season of this year. If your cultivation method is fire-based, then this is the best time to become a god."

"Choosing another place with abundant fire elemental energy to further develop the technique would be the perfect combination of timing, location, and people."

Zhao Xing nodded. The timing of the season has a profound impact on cultivation. For example, the rain that brought spiritual energy revival in the Xuanhuang Realm would have taken thousands of years to fall if it weren't for the joint efforts of Zhao Xing and the ministers of the Great Zhou.

Without that rain, the highest combat power in the entire Xuanhuang Realm would only be one or two at the Dao Establishment Realm, and even the Rule Realm would be very rare.

Xu Feng led Zhao Xing on a tour of various places before returning to Bai Feng's main urban area.

"The different treasure locations controlled by Baifeng Pavilion are all described in detail, and they are all guarded by our own people. You can go anywhere you want; you just need to inform me."

"If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me," General Xu Feng said with a smile.

"Thank you very much, Senior Xu Feng." Zhao Xing cupped his hands in thanks.

Call ~
Xu Feng nodded slightly, then transformed into a gust of wind and disappeared.

As the gust of wind dissipated, Zhao Xing's eyes narrowed slightly.

After Xu Fengshen left, he went to his own residence.

He entered the secret chamber and appeared to be cultivating normally, but in reality, his divine sense had already traversed different times and spaces, connecting with a divine power clone in another time and space through causal lines.

In a certain time and space, a palace complex spans five abysses, surrounded by countless thunder pools, with lightning bolts resembling ropes connecting with the dark clouds in the sky.

Inside the Tianheng Yuanjun Palace, a woman with radiant divine light sat atop a dark cloud. The palace was dimly lit, with flashes of lightning appearing from time to time.

Call ~
Suddenly a gust of wind blew in, like a blue thread, and wrapped around one of the bolts of lightning.

Boom.

Tianheng Leimu immediately opened her eyes and looked at the line of wind.

"Tianheng, Zhao Xing has traveled to the 1199th year of the Sun and 525th year of the Star Realm in the Luohuang Era. He is currently in the White Phoenix Pavilion, preparing to become a god."

"He didn't become a god on the Space Ship, but instead went to the White Phoenix Pavilion in the era of Emperor Luo." Tianheng Leimu looked somewhat surprised.

"Brother Xu Feng, do you know how long he will stay?"

"I don't know. But a genius of his caliber would definitely not break through within the White Phoenix Pavilion; instead, he would go to the four strongest secret realms in the Azure God Land. This is an opportunity," said General Xu Feng.

“Yes, this is an opportunity.” Tianheng Leimu smiled. “Thanks to his genius, even with Brother Xufeng’s help, there’s not much of a chance if we’re in an area under the absolute control of Baifeng Pavilion.” “If we go to the Four Great Secret Realms, where Baifeng Pavilion’s control isn’t as strong, and with Brother Xufeng’s cooperation, we’ll have a chance.”

“I never used to make a move, but this time I can, but the price has to be right for me.” General Xu Feng said calmly, “He has Lu Ya and Yan Ao guarding him, and Bai Feng Pavilion has more than twenty generals. For me, the price will be too high.”

"Brother Xu Feng, please speak," said Tianheng Leimu.

"I want ten copies of [Yin Lei Shen Sha], and I need them stored in the Shadow Temple first so I can get them," General Xu Feng stated his conditions.

"Ten portions of Yin Thunder God's Fiend? Brother Xu Feng, that's a bit too much," Tianheng Thunder Mother said in a deep voice.

Xu Feng snorted, "After this, I can't stay any longer, and I'll have to destroy several of my divine power clones... Ten Yin Thunder Gods and Demons, that's the money I earned by risking my life to escape, is that much?"

"Please wait a moment, Brother Xu Feng." Tianheng Leimu lowered her head and stroked the lightning chains in her hands, as if requesting an order.

A moment later, Tianheng Leimu looked up: "Brother Xufeng, to what extent can you cooperate?"

General Xu Feng said, "I can let you enter through the Heavenly Wind Destruction Pass of the Yu Hui Era, and I can also provide you with the specific location where he became a god."

"Furthermore, I can guarantee you a time gap for your operation. During this time, you will only need to deal with Yan Ao. I have a way to divert Lu Ya away."

“Deal.” Tianheng Leimu nodded. “You can now send your clone to check the Tongbao Pavilion in the Shadow Temple. The ten portions of Yin Lei Shen Sha have already been stored there.”

……

Bai Feng Guan, Zhao Xing's residence.

Inside the inner world, Bowei and Zhao Xing sat facing each other.

"The evil god faction's primary objective in interrupting your path to godhood is..."

"My main objective is to abduct you and obtain the Ten Directions Mountain Scripture."

"After General Xu Feng led the wolf into the house, two more generals will come one after another to rob your mountain scriptures."

"The two generals behind them are just acting."

“One of them is the deputy temple master of the worldly faction of the Temple of Reincarnation. After kidnapping you, he will take the opportunity to defect and infiltrate another evil god's camp.”

"One of them is a divine general of the demon race. He is the son of a certain demon god king. After he kidnaps you, he will not be executed, but will be protected by the demon race."

“During this process, Lu Ya and Yan Ao may fail to provide adequate protection.”

Zhao Xing nodded.

Three incidents.

The first time was when General Xu Feng let the wolf into the house, and the second time was when the Samsara Temple raided the temple. Generals Lu Ya and Yan Ao failed to protect them properly. This is a sense of insecurity.

The third time, a descendant of a demon god-king came to rob them, but was protected and the matter was dropped. This is injustice.

Feeling insecure and treated unfairly, it's only natural to leave in anger.

This matter must be kept from Lu Ya and Yan Ao, otherwise the effect will not be so real.

“There was nothing unsafe during the incident itself; the real danger was after it happened,” Bowei said. “The Moon Goddess Palace Master arranged for you to escape to the Boundless True God. You must contact the Boundless True God frequently before you take action, so that he can come and guide you away after the incident.”

"Don't be too obvious, lest the Boundless True God become suspicious."

"Hmm, I need to think about it carefully." Zhao Xing had no idea how much the Boundless True God valued him.

If others aren't keen to get involved, or don't have the time, then all this charade will be for nothing.

……

Half a month later, Zhao Xing was invited to visit a demon god's dojo at Baifeng Pavilion.

"Zhao Xing has met with General Huanli and General Yuanming."

"Zhao Xing is here, hahaha, please take a seat. I've been wanting to see you, this human genius, for a long time."

"Come, try my treasured wines and delicacies."

Inside the hall, a young man with golden wings, dressed in the robes of a minister of agriculture, emerged. Beside him was a demon general, who, though in human form, had vertical pupils.

The goddess Huanli conjured up a great deal of delicious food and wine, and hosted a very enthusiastic banquet.

Zhao Xing didn't stand on ceremony and started eating and drinking to his heart's content.

A few days later, the usually idly chatting general Huanli suddenly spoke up:

“Zhao Xing, I have no other purpose in inviting you here today. I am quite interested in the laws of agriculture and would like to discuss them with you and take a look at your original texts.”

"Which of my scriptures would you like to see, Divine General Huanli?"

“Of course it’s the Ten Directions Mountain Scripture!” Huanli God General winked at Zhao Xing.

The expression on Yuanming's face changed slightly. He put down his wine cup and sent a telepathic message to his friend: "Brother Huanli, this is Zhao Xing's method of proving the Dao of Heaven and Earth. How can you be allowed to see it? This request is too much."

"I'm not the Minister of Agriculture, I'm just interested. I can't take it from him anyway, so what's wrong with me looking at it?" General Huanli said nonchalantly, with an air of domineering arrogance.

"Zhao Xing, you wouldn't even give me this much face, would you?"

Zhao Xing put down his wine glass, feigning anger but forced to suppress it, and said stiffly, "No comment!"

"Thank you for the banquet, Divine General Huanli. I am at a crucial moment in my ascension to godhood and need to go into seclusion. Please forgive me for not being able to stay any longer."

"Clang~" Zhao Xing tossed down a few ancient coins. "These are for the cost of the bento box."

"Shu~"

After saying that, Zhao Xing left directly.

"You bastard! How dare you..." General Huanli roared in fury.

The Moon Goddess Palace Master instructed him to act, but he didn't need to act deliberately, because as a direct descendant of a God King, Huan Li was born holy and naturally arrogant.

Now he was completely immersed in the role, and without thinking, he conjured up sharp claws and grabbed at Zhao Xing's back.

"Brother Huanli, calm down!!" Yuanming, the divine general beside him, reacted quickly and blocked the entrance.

"Tear~"

The sharp claws tore a bloody gash in the chest of the Divine General Yuanming.

But he held onto Huanli tightly.

Huanli angrily questioned, "Yuanming, why are you blocking my way! Didn't you see that human brat's attitude just now?"

"I treated him to the best food and drink, only asking to see his scriptures and commentaries, but he not only refused, he also humiliated me!"

"I have never suffered such humiliation in my entire life."

Huanli's fur stood on end, and she slammed her fist on the table, making a loud banging sound.

Yuanming looked at the coins on the table and shook his head, saying:

"Zhao Xing really went too far. No matter what, he shouldn't have thrown money out."

"Although he did not become a god, his status was very high and he received a lot of preferential treatment, so it is normal for him to be a little arrogant."

“But Brother Huanli, if you want to read his Ten Directions Mountain Scripture, he definitely won’t be able to handle it.”

"I am not the Minister of Agriculture, what harm is there in taking a look? Do you think I would betray you?" Huanli was still very angry.

He gulped down the wine and said angrily, "I'll teach this kid a lesson sooner or later!"

"Brother Huanli, please don't act impulsively. If you harm him, it will affect the overall situation and will be absolutely intolerable to the human race..." General Yuanming wanted to persuade him again.

"Stop talking nonsense and get out! You get out too!" Huanli threw the wine jar at Yuanming Shenjiang.

“You…” Yuanming was speechless with anger, and could only shake his head and leave.

After Yuanming left, Huanli's arrogant expression immediately disappeared.

He tilted his head, seemingly quite satisfied with his performance, then picked up the wine jar and slowly drank from it: "Brother Yuanming, don't blame me for acting, this is my father's order."

……

After leaving Huanli's mansion, Zhao Xing angrily returned to his residence.

Since they were within the safe zone, Lu Ya and Yan Ao had nothing to worry about. They simply focused on gathering the causal threads from their previous journey within the mansion, maintaining a degree of seclusion.

However, seeing Zhao Xing return with anger, Little Yellow Duck still asked with concern:
"Zhao Xing, what's wrong? Did Huan Li bully you?!"

"Yan Ao, let's go!"

Lu Ya rolled up his sleeves, ready to go looking for trouble.

However, Zhao Xing stopped him: "Senior Lu, I'm fine. I was just thinking about some unhappy things."

"Are you really alright?" Lu Ya asked suspiciously.

"It's okay."

"Why are you making that deadpan face? I was just about to eat." The little yellow duck was very unhappy. It fanned itself to blow Zhao Xing away and then waddled off to eat its food.

"..."

Zhao Xing entered the secret chamber, took out the Five Mausoleums White Jade Boat, and then entered the deep space on the ship, where there was a temple exclusively for the Boundless True God.

He lit incense, lit the cauldron, and began to devoutly chant the Heart Sutra.

"Boundless spirit, profound nature guarded, unwavering devotion like a lamp, illuminating eternity..."

"Boundless spirit, profound nature guarded, unwavering devotion like a lamp, illuminating eternity..."

"..."

After only two sentences were recited, the statue of the Boundless True God immediately responded.

Zhao Xing thought it would take several hours, or even days, to complete the incantation, but he didn't expect the Boundless True God to manifest so quickly.

"Om~"

The statue of the Boundless True God was originally enshrined on a throne atop Clock Mountain, depicting a figure in deep contemplation with its head bowed.

Now, however, he slowly raised his head, but did not open his eyes.

"Kid, what are you doing at the White Bird Pavilion in Yu Hui Ji?"

"And you even came up to me and recited the Heart Sutra?"

The once beautiful White Phoenix Pavilion became the White Bird Pavilion in the mouth of the Boundless True God.

Zhao Xing knew that this god was incredibly powerful and had a temperament different from other gods, disliking empty flattery. So he immediately said, "Your Majesty, I have a knot in my heart that is difficult to dispel, so I am chanting."

"tell me the story."

"True God, your manifestation at this moment cannot be..."

"The White Bird Pavilion in Qing Shen Land does indeed have very strong protective measures, but I am a true god and will not be discovered. If it were a minor god, it would be different. Tell me quickly, what is troubling you?"

"Just now, I received an invitation from the demon race's Divine General Huanli at the White Phoenix Pavilion..."

Zhao Xing recounted what had happened at the Illusionary Glass Palace.

The Boundless True God said, "So you were bullied by a demon general, which is why you feel depressed and your mind is not clear."

"Hmph, this Huanli is truly shameless. The Ten Directions Mountain Scripture is a method for proving the Dao of Heaven and Earth, and he dares to speak out?"

“Zhao Xing, this is the true nature of an evil god. Moreover, Huan Li is born holy, and her evil and ferocious nature is even harder to suppress.”

"You possess such a precious treasure as the Ten Directions Mountain Scripture, yet you remain in the camp of the evil gods. Sooner or later, you will encounter this situation."

"Why not come back to my Shenji City sooner rather than later, then I won't have to put up with so much nonsense."

Zhao Xing remained silent for a while, seemingly wavering, but after a long pause, he finally spoke:

"Thank you for your guidance, God. After chanting the Heart Sutra, I feel much better."

……

After the prayer ended, Zhao Xing put away the white jade Five Mausoleum Boat and returned to his inner world, sitting opposite Bowei.

"Elder, the matter is almost settled. Do you think these powerful figures will have any doubts?"

“Cause and effect are not determined by the mind, but by actions,” Bowei said. “If Huanli really comes to take you away, there will definitely be a connection between you and him, which can be observed by a third party. This cannot be faked.”

“You’ve only chanted the Infinite Heart Sutra twice, and the Infinite True God has already shown himself. If you ask for help later, he will definitely not let this opportunity pass. Even if the sky of Qing Shen Di is ripped open, he will come to save you.”

"As I just said, cause and effect are not solely determined by the mind. After this incident, you will also owe the immeasurable true god a great karmic debt."

“Next, you can determine where to ‘break through’,” Bowei said. “And the sooner the better. Yan Ao and Lu Ya’s reversal of time and space also came at a price, and now is the time for them to rest. General Xu Feng, who is ‘one of our own,’ will definitely find a way to make a move.”

“Yes, I understand.” Zhao Xing nodded.

……

A month later, Zhao Xing found General Xu Feng and expressed his desire to become a god in the Qing Shen land of Pei Yue Mountain.

Another month passed, and Zhao Xing set off.

At this time, Xu Fengshen replaced Lu Ya's duties and accompanied Zhao Xing along with Yan Ao.

Lu Ya was reluctant to agree, but Zhao Xing said, "Peiyue Mountain is already under the surveillance of Baifeng Pavilion, and with Senior Xu Feng and Senior Yan there, there won't be any problems. Even if there are, Senior Lu can come to Peiyue Mountain in just one Boundless Hour."

The little yellow duck was very popular at Baifeng Pavilion and had received a lot of delicious food. He thought about it and agreed to let Xu Feng and Yan Ao accompany them, since it would only be a short while anyway.

Half a month later, Zhao Xing arrived at Peiyue Mountain.

At the same time, General Xu Feng had already opened the Heavenly Wind Annihilation Gate.

The Heavenly Wind Destruction Pass is a temporal barrier that exists for 300 star years in the 1199th solar year of the Afterglow Era.

From the perspective of the long river of time and space, Qing Shen Land in this year was a chaotic place full of storms.

When any life reaches this year, there will be a cycle, meaning that everything will return to the previous point in time.

This is a man-made time and space barrier. Normally, no one can live to see 301 years, let alone 525 years.

But now there are five divine generals quietly waiting beneath Mount Peiyue, 300 years ago.

When dawn broke the next day, their almanac showed that it was already the first day of the year 301.

The five divine generals remained motionless, like lifeless objects, not even absorbing spiritual energy, simply lurking deep within the mountain.

Time passed day by day, and soon it was October of 525.

On the fourth day of the tenth month, a flying boat arrived at Peiyue Mountain. It was Zhao Xing, General Xu Feng, and Yan Ao.

At this time, the five great generals of the Five Abyss Thunder God Division had been waiting for 225 years!
“Zhao Xing, this is Peiyue Mountain. This sacred mountain is sealed by an ancient spell, but we have a way to get in. You can enter the mountain as long as you hold this token.” General Xu Feng tossed a token to Zhao Xing.

"Yan Ao and I will protect you outside."

"Yes, thank you, General Xu Feng." Zhao Xing respectfully accepted the token and was about to land at the foot of the mountain.

Just then, Yan Ao suddenly frowned and reached out to stop Zhao Xing.

"and many more!"

Xu Feng remained calm, while Zhao Xing asked with some confusion, "Senior Yan, is there a problem?"

Yan Ao remained silent, but his eyes suddenly emitted golden light as he began to scan the world.

Yan Ao's expression was solemn because his martial arts instincts sensed danger, but after scanning with his [Fire Calamity Divine Eye], he couldn't detect anything amiss.

After Yan Ao finished scanning the area, General Xu Feng asked, "Brother Yan, what did you find?"

Yan Ao shook his head: "No, it's probably because my level of seclusion has decreased, and I have more karmic connections with heaven and earth, so I'm a bit more sensitive."

"Senior Yan, Senior Xu Feng, may I go down now?" Zhao Xing asked.

Yan Ao's rationality led him to nod, and Zhao Xing followed suit and jumped down to the foot of the mountain.

But just as Zhao Xing was about to land, Yan Ao's heart started pounding again.

"do not want!"

Yan Aomeng swooped down.

As he roared, golden light flashed in the sky, and the silver spear gleamed coldly.

Yan Ao's dive was stopped, and a spear tip appeared on his chest.

Xu Feng, the Divine General's natal Dao artifact—the God-Breaking Spear!

With the Yin Thunder God above and no defenses against the Xu Feng God General, the spear pierced straight through Yan Ao. Although it did not seriously injure him, it did stop Yan Ao's dive.

Yan Ao had no time to be angry, nor did he question Xu Feng, nor did he pay attention to the second divine spear that Xu Feng took out and thrust at him.

He made the best choice immediately, opening his mouth wide and sucking hard, trying to swallow Zhao Xing back into his stomach.

However, at that moment, the bottom of Mount Peiyue suddenly caved in, and five cracks flashing with lightning appeared.

The five divine generals, who had been lying in ambush for 225 years, also generated a suction force that pulled Zhao Xing in.
