Shennong Daojun.

Chapter 566 Wang Tianzhi is released from prison, and two old acquaintances...

Seeing this, Zhao Xing felt that Ji Si was radiating light.

Master Zhao thought to himself, "Ji Si is awesome!"
They actually dared to kidnap the gods of the entire Xuanling Starfield; even the Moon Goddess Palace Master dared not act rashly.

Gulong~
The white paper was transformed back into ink and incorporated into the main body of the Moon Goddess Palace.

Others may not know what's inside the Seven Star Chest, but I happen to know.

The Moon Goddess Palace Master glanced at Zhao Xing: "It should have been in your hands."

Zhao Xing didn't hide anything: "Yes, I entrusted it to Ji Si for safekeeping because I didn't know if this item would affect my karma during the Luohuang era, since Fan Qianrou was a figure from the Luohuang era."

The Moon Goddess Palace Master did not blame Zhao Xing, but said, "Ji Si's prophecy of destiny is true. If I take forceful action, I may be able to capture Ji Si, but I am not entirely confident in stopping the self-destruction of the Eight Directions Divine Realm."

"Ji Si wants to buy time for the Great Zhou in this way, and strengthen the long river of national fortune in the Xuanhuang Realm."

"The Great Zhou Dynasty is going to ascend to the Luohuang era to rescue you, but there are too many variables."

Even though I told Ji Che about the plan, he still didn't believe me.

Of course I won't believe it!
If Zhao Xing were in Ji Si's position, he wouldn't trust anyone either; he would only trust himself, for strength is the only true principle.

His decision to leave the Seven Star Cabinet to Ji Si for safekeeping was actually driven by some personal motives.

Zhao Xing also didn't completely trust the Xuanling Gods, and always kept a backup plan.

But once the news of his 'betrayal' spreads, there's no guarantee that some gods won't try to take advantage of the Great Zhou.

Since Zhao Xing has betrayed us, shouldn't we settle accounts with the Great Zhou, his root state?

The Moon Goddess Palace Master and the Great Emperor may be selfless and devoted to the human race, but there are bound to be extreme generals like the Heart God General Qiluo.

Originally, the Seven Star Cabinet was left to Ji Si as an insurance policy for the Great Zhou Dynasty, but Zhao Xing never expected that Ji Si would use it to intimidate the gods.

Even more unexpectedly, its power seemed to exceed expectations, and even a historical god-king like the Moon Goddess Palace Master dared not act rashly.

No wonder I had to go back myself; there was no other way.

Ji Si would never have believed it unless Zhao Xing personally came forward to explain.

However, the Moon Goddess Palace Master cannot allow Ji Si to cause such destruction, as unsealing the Xuanhuang Realm would bring uncertainties.

"Palace Master, if I go back, will the Boundless True God notice?" Zhao Xing asked.

If the Boundless True God discovers that Zhao Xing has secretly returned to the Desolate Era without informing him, he might doubt Zhao Xing's stance.

"My return to you is not a return through time and space," the Moon Goddess Palace Master pondered. "It is merely the guidance of your true spirit."

"However, the spacetime you are in is somewhat special. The power of the God-King cannot set foot there, and the Xuanling History Book cannot guide your true spirit. You must leave your current location."

So that's how it is. It was just to leave Liukongjian, not to travel through time and space back to the Third Era of the Desolate Region.

The God King Zhangyue distorted spacetime, making it impossible for the Moon Goddess Palace Master to even set foot in Liukong Gorge.

Thinking about it carefully, I really should try to stop this. If the Great Zhou Dynasty were to truly ascend to the era of the Luo Emperor, it might not necessarily be a good thing.

Since the reign of Emperor Rui, the cultivation method of the Great Dao of Destiny has become very rare. If someone were to discover that the Great Zhou Dynasty possessed such a cultivation method of destiny, it would likely cause a bloody and fierce struggle.

In the era of Emperor Luo, there were countless powerful figures. When they ascended from the Great Zhou Dynasty, even survival became a major problem.

"Palace Master, rest assured, I will leave Liukong Gorge immediately and find a place where true spirits can be guided."

"be quick."

hum~
The ancestral tablet trembled, and Zhao Xing opened his eyes.

……

Liuyunjian, a courtyard on a desolate starland.

"What? You're leaving?" Qing Yuzi asked, her face full of confusion. "We've already reached Baoshan, and you're leaving... What urgent matter is it?"

"Don't ask, I can't say." Zhao Xing shook his head: "In short, I need to leave temporarily, otherwise there will be big trouble."

"Do you need my help?" Qing Yuzi asked. Although he really wanted to explore the inner world of God King Yuheng right now, Zhao Xing's sudden departure clearly indicated that something had happened, and he couldn't just sit idly by.

As for the treasure, let's wait a little longer; it won't make a difference.

"No need." Zhao Xing waved his hand. "I can handle this alone. Don't worry, I'm not in any danger."

“Then I’ll go in first!” Qingyuzi said. “If I find anything, I’ll definitely share it with you.”

"Be careful," Zhao Xing cautioned. "Don't just focus on finding the treasure; safety comes first."

"Don't worry," Qingyuzi said nonchalantly. "I had my fortune told, and it's very reliable."

After much deliberation, Zhao Xing finally decided to complete the fate loop first. As for Lao Qing being trapped after entering, he could rescue him later.

If things are changed now, there's no guarantee that the older generation won't suffer some backlash.

…………

As Qingyuzi entered the pale blue misty passage, Zhao Xing also quickly left Liukongjian.

According to the map given by Lao Qing, six months later, Zhao Xing flew out of Liukong Gorge and arrived at a desolate starry land.

"Boom~"

He used the earth-splitting method to create a large hole in the land, and then solidified it with the earth-treasure method. He then set up the two sets of concealment arrays given to him by Lao Qing, and Zhao Xing's true spirit touched the ancestral emperor's tablet.

"Om~"

The space in front of me began to distort, a strange light suddenly appeared, and the space turned white, like a piece of paper.

Then the singularity of light moved like brushstrokes in the void, the lines spreading outwards.

As the last stroke was made, Zhao Xing felt a powerful attraction; the true spirit of his life palace left his body and was drawn in.

The world spun around him, and Zhao Xing felt a strong sense of dizziness. Everything around him was pitch black, with only a faint glow protecting him from the light on his skin.

He didn't know how much time had passed when he found himself in a warm nest.

The light grew brighter and brighter until Zhao Xing finally found that his vision had returned to normal.

Crunch, crunch~
Zhao Xing discovered that he had a new body, but it was very stiff, and his joints made a rustling sound when he moved.

The spirit scanned the area and found itself transformed into a book puppet, which was quite crude, with a square body and a pointed head, as if it had been randomly sticking out.

The panel is still active, and the coordinates show that I am in the Shenluo Wasteland, the tenth year of the third era of the Wasteland.

A familiar figure appeared ahead, and beside him was the Moon Goddess Palace Master.

"Ji Si, you don't believe what I say, but you should believe what Zhao Xing says," the Moon Goddess Palace Master said calmly.

"I'm giving you time to speak privately. You can have the Eight Directions Divine Realm verify whether it's true."

After saying that, the Moon Goddess Palace Master gestured for Zhao Xing to step forward.

Under the starry sky, before the Eight Directions Divine Mirror, Ji Si showed no expression.

Even upon seeing the puppet version of Zhao Xing, she remained unchanged, coldly saying, "Stop, stay there and don't move." "Ji Si, it's me." Zhao Xing stopped, his voice hoarse from not being used to his new body.

Ji Si did not answer, but instead activated the Eight Directions Divine Mirror to illuminate the book puppet.

Zhao Xing could only wait quietly for Ji Si's verification.

Fortune tellers have their own methods to verify the truth.

The light swept across his body eight times in succession, and the mirror also flickered eight times.

Ji Si's expression finally softened.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, it really is you!"

Ji Si finally confirmed that the Moon Goddess Palace Master had not lied; the book puppet before her truly contained Zhao Xing's spirit.

"Shu~"

Seeing this, Zhao Xing also came to Ji Si's side.

He looked at Ji Si. At this moment, although Ji Si was in high spirits, she was a little too excited. Obviously, the pressure of these thousands of years of planning had been immense for Ji Si.

His hair at the roots of his head was constantly turning from black to white, falling out and immediately growing back.

Like the Boundless True God, these were not merely hairs, but threads of cause and effect. As a Fate Master, Ji Si's true spirit was constantly operating at high speed, practically steaming.

Zhao Xing sighed softly, "Ji Si, you've worked hard."

Ji Si's eyes reddened, she lowered her head slightly, and remained silent for a long time.

“It’s all my fault,” Zhao Xing said. “I should have asked the Palace Master to tell you the situation.”

"Please don't say that, Grand Minister of Agriculture." Ji Si looked up again, her composure restored. "The burden on the Grand Minister of Agriculture is far greater than mine."

"Such an important matter should be known by as few people as possible. Ji Si acted impulsively."

"It almost ruined the important matter of the Grand Minister of Agriculture."

"Alright, Ji Si, let's not blame ourselves, lest we make a fool of ourselves in front of the Palace Master." Zhao Xing looked at the barrier, the black and white palace, and the floating warship behind Ji Si: "Let's get down to business, what's the situation now?"

Ji Si thought for a moment, then reached out and pulled Zhao Xing into the Eight Directions Divine Mirror.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, our original plan was to obtain enough resources from the Xuanhuang Realm after the mutation, recruit more talents, and further break through the Qiyun Divine Dynasty system to achieve the goal of ascending to the Luohuang era."

"From the messages Wang Tianzhi has passed on in the past, we know that the Xuanhuang Realm has been constantly changing. It was originally just a small world, but it has rapidly upgraded within an era."

"Whether it's flowers, trees, or human beasts, everything is rapidly being updated and replaced. The speed of development is so fast that it can be described as 'one day in Xuanling is equivalent to one year in Xuanhuang.'"

Zhao Xing nodded. Over the years, Wang Tianzhi had been writing letters to Ji Si. His book, "The Past of Xuanhuang," recorded the changes in the Xuanhuang Realm.

Ji Si was the one responsible for contacting Wang Tianzhi.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, apart from my main body guarding the outside, all the civil and military officials of the Great Zhou have now returned to the Xuanhuang Realm for 154 years."

"However, in the information described by Wang Tianzhi, many divine realms appeared in the Xuanhuang Realm."

"Therefore, we did not dare to launch a large-scale attack. We only contacted His Majesty's descendants and sent a small number of experts into the nineteen provinces to scout out the situation."

"After entering, we indeed found many powerful individuals." Ji Si said in a deep voice, "We found more than three hundred known Divine Realm experts, such as the Sect Master of the White Bone Divine Sect, Donghuang."

"For example, Qi Tian, ​​the leader of the Xuanhuang Divine Sect who reveres Gu Xiao as his patriarch, and Bai Lan, the sect leader of the Li Huo Divine Sect, are even hailed as true gods."

"..."

Listening to Ji Si's story, Zhao Xing's expression was also somewhat surprised. No wonder the Samsara Temple had to seal and guard the Xuanhuang Realm.

The Xuanhuang Realm is constantly being upgraded, the Fengchan Land is radiating a new charm, and many powerful figures are suddenly emerging. This is definitely an unstable factor. Before we are sure of the outcome, sealing is the best option.

"Originally, His Majesty and I planned to launch a great war to quickly subdue those weak gods and annex the forces of those minor gods. As for the true gods of the grotto heavens, they cannot truly cross the boundaries, so we can ignore them for the time being. After we have grown stronger, we can use our fortune to promote at least fifty divine officials before we can consider conquering them."

"However, since the Moon Goddess Palace Master appeared in time, we will temporarily abandon our original plans."

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, please take a look. This is the situation inside the Xuanhuang Realm."

Within the pure white space, there are eight floating picture frames, reflecting scenes from the Xuanhuang Realm.

These are all battle scenes; the powerful figures of the Great Zhou are hunting down a god!
In eight of the scenes, Liu Tianning is present, either traversing towering mountains, speeding across the sea aboard the Myriad Laws Ship, or capturing strange beasts in underground tunnels.

"What level is my teacher at now?" Zhao Xing asked curiously.

"Lord Liu is still a demigod, but he has become even more unfathomable. I can't even calculate how strong he really is," Ji Si said.

"As for His Majesty, he is already at the peak of the Divine Weapon realm. With the combined blessing of the Snow Bone and the Divine Seal of Fortune, he can reach the peak of the Divine General realm."

Xue Rui is a god of great fortune, and Zhao Xing gave his divine bones to Ji Che, so giving them to him is a fitting match.

"The Great Zhou currently possesses three secret methods of Qi Luck: the Golden Elixir of Qi Luck, the Golden Dragon of Qi Luck, and the Divine Seal of Qi Luck. However, the fourth method, the Sealing of Gods of Qi Luck, is still unsuccessful, and I have only obtained a small fragment."

Zhao Xing had no idea how much effort Ji Si had put in to find the cultivation method for the Great Dao of Luck; it was truly remarkable.

"Let's halt our operations for now," Zhao Xing said. "We don't have the capacity to take over the Xuanhuang Realm at the moment."

Although it is his hometown, now that the Xuanhuang Realm has been upgraded, the Great Zhou may not be able to take it over.

"By the way, where is Wang Tianzhi?" Zhao Xing asked.

“We’ve already seen him and released him from the House of Epochs,” Ji Si said. “Should we bring him out?”

“It should have been brought out long ago.” Zhao Xing sighed. “I’ll talk to the Palace Master about this. As for the rest of the people and things, don’t bring them out randomly.”

When Da Zhou ascended to immortality, he was less than a thousand years old, but now he is over twenty thousand years old.

Of course, he and Wang Tianzhi experienced different times, so there were some subtle differences.

According to the calculation of the time of Da Zhou's ascension, the time of ascension was the 1184th solar year of the second era of the Desolate Region. Now it is the tenth solar year of the third era of the Desolate Region. Wang Tianzhi has been there for almost 30,000 years.

Of course, this is still far less than the time that Yun Tiandao has been protecting it; Old Yun has waited for almost a million years!

"Old Wang should be released from prison soon. He's served so long for the Great Zhou. Once he's out, he should be appointed as the Grand Minister of Agriculture," Zhao Xing remarked.

"Yes, I will notify the people within the realm immediately." Ji Che closed his eyes and began to perform the ritual, while Zhao Xing looked at the Xuanhuang Realm in the eight images.

After a while, he saw in eight images that the Great Zhou army was retreating.

Ji Si opened her eyes again: "Grand Minister of Agriculture, there's a problem."

"What's wrong?" Zhao Xing asked nervously.

“Two officials from the Great Zhou Dynasty wish to see you, and it seems difficult to refuse them,” Ji Si said, frowning. “They claim to be old acquaintances of yours.”

"Oh? What's your name?" Zhao Xing knew that the Great Zhou Dynasty was ruled by Empress Ji Luoheng. Could it be that there were legends about him circulating in the Xuanhuang Realm, and that a Minister of Agriculture admired him and wanted to meet him?
"One is the current sect leader of the Li Huo Divine Sect, named Bai Lanjun."

“One is from the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Grand Master of the Eight-Row Dance of the Imperial City Dance Division. She said her name is Fu Mengzhen,” Ji Si said.

"What?" Upon hearing these two names, Zhao Xing's mouth dropped open.
