Shennong Daojun.

Chapter 589 The auspicious time has arrived, let's turn the world upside down!

Zhao Xing and Qing Yuzi discussed many things.

But for the plan to begin, the first step is to take [Tongyuan] from the Nian Beast.

Seeing that Tong Yuan had already been half-eaten by the Nian Beast, Zhao Xing rushed over, grabbed Tong Yuan's tail, and forcibly pulled it out.

"Cook, what are you doing??"

The Nian beast was stunned for a moment.

"Lord Nian, may I borrow it?"

"Cook, you've gone too far!!" The Nian beast trembled with rage as the cook actually snatched food from his bowl.

Is there any royal law?
"This is something I painstakingly crafted, don't test my patience!" the Nian beast roared, its mouth flashing with red light.

Qingyuzi was somewhat shocked. Was Zhao Xing borrowing? It was clearly stealing.

Snatching food from the mouth of an animal—they're incredibly audacious.

The Nian beast still hasn't reacted. Just how strong is Zhao Xing now?
"Lord Nian, this is part of the first requirement."

"You bastard, you're cheating!" the Nian beast roared. "Do you think I'm stupid? If you keep bringing up the first request, how am I supposed to eat?"

"Lord Nian Beast, please forgive me. This was an emergency. I will repay you with ten more later." Zhao Xing quickly reassured him, while gesturing to Lao Qing to dissect Tong Yuan and create a Life Dao Diagram.

"That's not... much?"

"Ten heads."

The Nian beast pondered for a moment and concluded that this deal was very profitable.

In short, he had already eaten half of the insect, which meant a twenty-fold return.

You can do it!
"Bang!" The Nian beast glanced at Qingyuzi and Lüming, then spat out a beam of light that sent Zhao Xing flying.

"Ten of them, and all intact," the Nian beast warned. "If you dare to try to fool me with defective products, you're dead."

"It's a deal!" Zhao Xing, who had bumped into the mountain wall, pretended to stand up in a disheveled manner and agreed with a smile.

"Hmph." The Nian beast stomped its four hooves and returned to its little den to lie down.

"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant." Qingyuzi walked over. "You've got the temperament of the Nian beast down to a very good level."

He could tell that the Nian beast was rather simple-minded and not very smart; it was just very concerned about its image and quite gluttonous.

By going along with the temperament of the Nian beast, some goals can be achieved.

“Fellow Daoist, don’t overthink it,” Lü Ming reminded him. “You need to be able to withstand a series of consecutive divine skills from the Nian Beast before you can negotiate with him.”

Lu Ming could tell that Qing Yuzi also wanted to pet the Nian beast, so he issued a warning.

Qingyuzi underestimated the Nian beast; that was suicidal.

"The reason why Zhao Xing can negotiate with the Nian Beast is ultimately because Zhao Xing fought a battle in the Dao Palace and neither of them could defeat the other, which is why he has his current treatment."

"Otherwise, you'll end up like Du Yun, with the man-eating whip."

"Huh? What people?"

"You misheard me," Zhao Xing quickly interrupted.

Lu Ming realized he had let something slip and silently took his words back.

Qingyuzi was taken aback, because when he recalled the sound from earlier, he realized that he had indeed misheard.

That sentence became, "Otherwise, you'll end up like Du Yun, being eaten."

Shaking his head, Qingyuzi prepared to cut Tongyuan.

However, Zhao Xing stopped him again.

"Brother Lü Ming, do me a favor. I want to know what this beast heard before."

Having finally obtained Tongyuan from the Nian Beast, they naturally wanted to squeeze every last drop of value out of it.

“Okay.” Lu Ming nodded. He walked to Tong Yuan’s body and placed his hand on the hard shell.

Waves of light emanated from his palm, covering Tong Yuan's entire body.

A moment later, Lü Ming relayed the collected audio to Qing Yuzi and Zhao Xing.

A moment later, the light dimmed.

Qingyuzi was shocked: "Brother, you actually have such abilities?"

Neither Zhao Xing nor Qing Yuzi knew how to steal souls, and besides, Tong Yuan's soul in Xi Tian Divine King City was restricted, making it difficult for even a soul master to achieve good results.

“Brother Dao, you misunderstand. I did not invade Tong Yuan’s soul,” Lü Ming said. “I only collected the echoes within its divine body.”

"There's such a trick to it?" Qingyuzi was very interested.

"The universe is constantly emitting sounds. Celestial bodies, earth veins, and all living things were created. The five tones and twelve scales were created to explain the sound of the universe."

Lu Ming said slowly, "Among the fortune tellers, there is a sect called the [Music Diviners], who are good at eavesdropping on [gossip]. The echoes of other people's souls' thoughts that are unintentionally emitted and scattered throughout the universe can be captured by the [Music Diviners] and used to launch an attack."

"Of course, I don't know this style, but my martial uncle does."

Qingyuzi and Zhao Xing were both stunned.

"Brother Lü Ming, I wonder if you can hear the voice of the Thousand Feathers Great World?"

“Okay.” Lü Ming nodded. “That’s the noisiest place around here.”

Qingyuzi clapped his hands and pointed at Lü Ming, overjoyed: "Zhao Xing, this fellow Daoist can be of great help."

"With him, our plan's success rate will increase by at least 20%!"

Zhao Xing was also somewhat surprised.

It seems that the God of Music, who was chosen by the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds to be part of the Fengchan team, is no ordinary person.

Don't be fooled by how badly Lu Ming was beaten by the Nian beast; he actually has great abilities!

Zhao Xing hadn't included Lü Ming in his plans from the beginning.

After thinking it over, he shook his head and said, "Brother Lü Ming, your days are numbered. I don't think you should get involved in this matter."

Lu Ming spent most of his life in the Dao Court, only venturing out four times. Lu Ming's wish was to see the world, but Zhao Xing was unwilling to drag him into this war.

“Brother Zhao, I’m still counting on your medicine to keep me alive. If you die, I won’t live much longer either.” Lü Ming smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I am the God of War Music. Although I am not as good as the two of you in fighting, I will not be a burden.”

Zhao Xing never doubted Lü Ming's fighting ability, after all, he was able to survive the Nian Beast and even injure it!
"Alright." Zhao Xing cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your help, Brother Lü Ming."

……

The three then went their separate ways.

Qingyuzi was responsible for analyzing Tongyuan and creating the Life Dao Diagram. He also had to prepare some disguises.

Lü Ming was responsible for eavesdropping and relaying the intelligence to Zhao Xing and Qing Yuzi to supplement the plan.

The information provided by the Shadow Temple mainly focuses on major artifacts, special artifacts, and key combat units.

However, war is dynamic, and the situation is constantly changing. With Lu Ming's supplement, the plan can be made more perfect.

Zhao Xing, on the other hand, was calling for reinforcements.

He believed in cause and effect and used Lao Qing's time-space incense technique to write three letters.

They were sent to Yan Ao, Lu Ya, and Bo Wei respectively.

He had thought it through carefully.

Yan Ao, Lu Ya, and Bo Wei were all his guardian generals.

If the matter of his 'fake defection' is made public, his agreement with Yan Ao and Lu Ya to protect him will still be in effect. This action would be a continuation of good deeds, and there is a high probability that the two will come to his aid.

As for Bowei, he had already fulfilled his promise to protect the Dao. Zhao Xing didn't have high hopes when he wrote to him; he was just shamelessly giving it a try.

"In this vast universe, across countless timelines, there are very few who can help me... If only I had a Fate Master in this battle, I wonder when Ji Si will be able to become a god." Zhao Xing sighed with some emotion.

He felt outnumbered and outmatched. He might not be afraid in a one-on-one situation, but in a complex space-time war, he would have very little help.

"Om~"

Just as Zhao Xing was feeling sentimental, he noticed a letter floating out of the cave in Diejie Mountain.

"Ok?"

Zhao Xing was somewhat stunned.

At first, he thought someone had replied to his letter.

However, it was not any of the three people—Bowei, Yan Ao, and Lu Ya—but rather Ji Si's Time Letter.

Because this is physical paper.

He wondered if he was hallucinating. How could Ji Si appear just because he thought of her?
Zhao Xing carefully made his way out of the mountain.

He stood at the edge of the Nian Beast's concealment magic treasure, pondered for a moment, and then took the letter off the mountain.

I never expected it was actually written by Ji Si!

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, I hope this letter is as if we are meeting in person..."

As Zhao Xinggang was reading, he noticed the letter was burning and had transformed into the appearance of Ji Si.

"Ji Si, you... have become a god?"

Because he sensed divine power from the new seal, could it be that Ji Si became a god during the Desolate Era?
"I am not Ji Si." An aged voice came from within Ji Si's illusory image, "This divine power is mine."

The spirit of the Eight Directions Divine Realm, the Divine Physician in Hemp Robes.

"Senior Mai, is it you?" Zhao Xing asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Reflecting the eight directions, with time as the witness. This little trick is not worth mentioning." The hemp-robed divine physiognomist said calmly, "I'll just ask you one question: after the incident involving the real and fake Zhao Xing, do you plan to return to the Desolate Era?"

"Not for now," Zhao Xing said thoughtfully.

“That’s it.” The fortune teller in hemp robes nodded. “No matter what you do from now on, take this letter with you.”

"Senior Mai, I..."

"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed, so don't ask so many questions."

Zhao Xing could only smile and agree.

After speaking, the voice of the Ma Yi Divine Physician disappeared, and Ji Si's expression became more lively, no longer as rigid as before.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, I know you have many questions, but I can't say much. This time, it was my teacher who offered to help."

"Offered help?" Zhao Xing recalled the past behavior of the Taoist priest in hemp clothing.

There's no reason for that; the Taoist priest in his robes would never do anything out of consideration for his own reputation.

Out of respect for Ji Si? But this time, it wasn't Ji Si who took the lead.

"Lord Ji, do you know the reason?"

Ji Si thought for a moment, then silently uttered four words: "Clean house."

Then Ji Si's phantom disappeared, the light converged, and suddenly entered Zhao Xing's palm.

After a slight burning sensation, Zhao Xing discovered a talisman pattern on his palm. It was three-dimensional, as if it contained a world within it.

"Clean house, I wonder who they're talking about, it's really strange..." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

However, he also realized that the main goal of the Ma Yi Divine Physician was not to help him, but to deal with someone else.

As for who it was? Zhao Xing guessed it might be the mastermind behind Yi Ren.

Is he related to the Taoist priest in hemp robes?
Just as Zhao Xing continued to think, a sharp pain suddenly came from his palm, interrupting his thoughts.

"Uh, I don't want to think about it anymore." Zhao Xing immediately focused his mind.

Lu Ming once said, "What you keep in mind will surely resonate, and you might even be caught by a fortune teller."

"I'll pretend this never happened; consider it an unexpected help."

Zhao Xing hadn't expected anything anyway, so he put the matter aside and pretended it never happened.

Walking back into the cave, he saw Lü Mingchong nod to himself.

Zhao Xing walked over.

"There's new information; listen up."

"it is good."

……

Within the Thousand Feathers Great World, the Arrow God Ji Heng and the Talisman God Wang Yue remained at the old site of the Bayu Mausoleum Wasteland.

The two deans of the Eight-Star Academy were drinking and chatting together.

In this war, the two did not get the chance to go to the main battlefield because they had been away from the power center of Xi Tian Shen Wang City for a long time.

They were simply guarding the passage together with several members of the Taiyue Ancient Clan from the Great World of Thousand Feathers, in conjunction with the Thunder God Division, Beast God Division, Divine Priest, and Divine Martial Division.

Guarding the route for the main army should be an important task, but they had no real power and were only assisting.

Both Wang Yue and Ji Heng knew that they would not get much credit for the attack on Shenji City.

"Dean Wang, how long have you been at Thousand Feather World?" Ji Heng asked drunkenly, clutching a large gourd of wine.

"Eight centuries and sixteen thousand years." Wang Yue's beautiful hair was adorned with divine runes. She was rather refined, but she still ate several large bowls of food.

“I’ve been here longer than you, fourteen centuries and fifty thousand years,” Ji Hengdao sighed. “We haven’t been back to Bihai Inn for so long.”

Wang Yue remained silent.

She could detect some resentment in Ji Heng's tone.

"In a place like the Realm of Annihilation, one must constantly suppress the divine tribulation and also be wary of the evil gods of the desolate region."

"On average, three thousand disciples of my Po Jun Academy die in one Yang year."

Wang Yue's eyes dimmed; her Yuexing Academy was also a place where people were dying.

"So many people have died, and we've been stationed here for so long..." Ji Heng suddenly took a big gulp of wine, then changed the subject: "Now we've become dispensable, marginal figures!"

“Brother Ji Heng.” Wang Yue paused, his brow furrowing. “The reason we couldn’t participate was because there were some mistakes in capturing the Nian Beast; we attacked the wrong person.”

They had previously arrested the "real Zhao Xing," but after reviewing the incident, they were told that they had actually injured the fake Zhao Xing.

"How can this be blamed on us?" Ji Heng snorted and put down his wine gourd.

"Okay, even if there's a mistake."

"But Tong Yuan has gone missing, and they've entrusted us with finding him too."

"A dignified dean has actually received such military assignments."

"This is absolutely ridiculous!"

"Dean Wang, do you feel honored?"

Wang Yue fell silent.

For gods like them who live so long, many of their relatives and friends have passed away, and there are few things they care about. In the endless years, they must have something to support their souls so that they do not decay.

Many powerful people care about face and glory, and she and Ji Heng are the same kind of people.

The War Beast Tong Yuan may seem extraordinary to outsiders, but they often see it and realize it's just a beast.

A while ago, a Tongyuan mysteriously went missing, and the Six Divine Officials 'Fuye', who was in charge of the passage outside, actually assigned this task to them.

Of course, he spoke with righteous indignation: Tong Yuan has mysteriously disappeared without a trace, which may be a great conspiracy. The Thousand Feather World is a place that the two deans are familiar with. Such an important task can only be entrusted to the two deans.

But Ji Heng and Wang Yue didn't think that way at all.

It's one thing that they don't get a good mission like attacking Shenji City, but what kind of bullshit mission is finding Tongyuan?
“The God-King will be just and will see our hard work,” Wang Yue said.

“Of course the God-King is fair.” Ji Heng had also sobered up a bit, and he dared not have any complaints against God-King Xi Tian. “But whether others have selfish motives is another matter.”

"Enough said." Wang Yue put down his wine glass, somewhat annoyed. "Dean Ji, let's meet again if we find any leads. Goodbye."

"No delivery."

……

Outside the Thousand Feathers Great World, at the bottom of the Ancient Dao Layer Void, lies the Diejie Mountain.

After listening to their conversation through Lü Ming, Zhao Xing couldn't help but laugh.

The Eight Star Academy is an important religious institution in Xi Tian Shen Wang City, yet Ji Heng and Wang Yue were assigned two beast-catching missions in succession.

Catching the Nian beast was one thing, but it was still worthy of their status.

To ask Tong Yuan to do that would be an insult, like asking a general to lead a group to find a missing hunting dog.

He told Qingyuzi about it, and the latter also laughed out loud.

"You have grievances? Good, that's great."

“These two are marginalized, so we can make use of them.”

Qingyuzi immediately adjusted the plan, taking Ji Heng and Wang Yue into account.

Finally, Qingyuzi said to Zhao Xing, "By the way, go and find the black-robed man again and see if there is any new information. If there is, buy it all. Don't be afraid to spend the money."

Qingyuzi wasn't afraid of spending the money at all; on the contrary, he was afraid of not being able to spend it.

If this trip can help the Boundless True God, then it will be equivalent to the Boundless True God owing a favor.

With this, it's worth any price!

"Okay, I'll go in and take a look." Zhao Xing closed his eyes.

The next moment, he arrived at a familiar place and summoned the black robe.

"New intelligence? No." The man in black shook his head. "I've given you everything I could." "Is there anything I can't give you? Do you have any high-ranking clients in Xi Tian Divine King City?" Zhao Xing asked.

"No, you might not believe it, but the higher-ups in Xi Tian Divine King City basically don't have any of our clients," the black-robed man said.

"Why?" Zhao Xing was taken aback. He had thought the missing information was because Xi Tian Shen Wang City also had high-level clients.

"Of course they look down on us." The man in black smiled, this was the first time he had shown such obvious emotion in front of Zhao Xing.

"Xi Tian Shen Wang City is a powerful force, and it claims to be the legitimate and righteous army."

“Some marginalized divine generals might make deals with us, but Xi Tian Divine King City would never make deals with the Dark Palace.”

"Similarly, the Origin Heavenly Palace and the Crimson Star Empire are also like this."

Zhao Xing suddenly realized that although the Shadow Temple was good at intelligence gathering, many of the things it did were considered shady, and it was itself a clandestine force.

The Xi Tian Divine King City has its own intelligence department and blockade methods for fighting, such as the Ten Directions War Order.

They would never say that you need to become a client of the Shadow Temple first, and then pay to become a premium client, to prevent information leaks.

If that's the case, wouldn't we have to give the Shadow Temple a sum of money for every operation?

Wouldn't that make us begging on our knees?
Of course, powerful entities don't engage in transactions, but certain individuals will. However, Zhao Xing doesn't know the specifics, since he's not a shareholder yet.

"Black Robe, if you have any new intelligence, remember to let me know immediately." Zhao Xing didn't linger for long and came out quickly.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was the seventh month of Xi Tian Shen Wang City's conquest of Shen Ji City.

At this time, within Zhao Xing's inner world, he and Qing Yuzi were making significant progress in their joint research on the Tongyuan Marquis's reforms.

Qingyuzi was responsible for analyzing the dry parts of the Dao of Life. After that, Zhao Xing, who had higher comprehension, was tasked with creating "The Reform of Marquis Tongyuan".

Thanks to the Tree Son's time acceleration, a month passed outside, but a full hundred years passed inside the body.

Over the course of a century, the reforms implemented by Marquis Tongyuan have become quite mature.

"Change!"

On the new boundless continent, Zhao Xing transformed into Tong Yuan, a divine beast with sharp, thousand legs, antennae on its head, star-like compound eyes, and a black back and silver belly.

On another mountain peak, there was a smaller Tong Yuan, whose aura was exactly the same as Zhao Xing's, only slightly weaker.

"Whoosh~"

Qingyuzi transformed into human form and carefully sensed Zhao Xing's aura. He couldn't help but praise, "Impressive! I couldn't detect any flaws at all."

"It's as if you really are that lost Tongyuan."

swoosh~
Zhao Xing also transformed into human form.

"Now that Hou's reforms are ready, isn't it about time to take action?"

Time is precious. Shenji City has been besieged for more than six months. Although Shenji City itself has profound magic arrays and a large territory, it may not be possible to conquer it in a short time. However, Zhao Xing is still very worried about Wuliang Zhenshen.

"Have you received a reply?" Qingyuzi asked in return.

"No." Zhao Xing shook his head.

More than a month has passed since the three letters were sent out, and Lu Ya, Yan Ao, and Bo Wei have not responded.

Logically speaking, if Lu Ya and Yan Ao were to come to this timeline, they should have arrived long ago.

Although somewhat disappointed, Zhao Xing felt it was within reason.

“If it’s just you, me, and Lü Ming, then we can probably start moving,” Qing Yuzi said. “By the way, can we include the Nian beast in that count?”

Zhao Xing said, "The Nian beast will follow me, but it won't take action; it will only act as a safety net."

The Nian Beast possesses partial control over the Nine Netherworld Palace. It has a magical escape method: it spits out the Nine Netherworld Palace, hides inside, and then the Nine Netherworld Palace reappears within its body.

The next time the Nine Netherworld Palace appears, it will appear in the 'Silent Realm' at a different point in time.

Ancient Xiao Shenwang City learned that the Nian Beast had escaped, but had not been able to capture it, precisely because of the special nature of the Nine Netherworld Palace.

Zhao Xing dared to act largely because he had learned of this.

If all else fails, they can use the Nian beast's trick to escape together.

If Shenji City cannot be defended, then we can take Wuliang Zhenshen through this escape route.

Of course, it took Zhao Xing a lot of effort to persuade the Nian beast on this point.

"Then we won't wait." Qingyuzi took out three willow-like things from her black ring and held them carefully.

"Zhao Xing, this is the Willow of Cause and Effect."

"I obtained it through a special encounter."

"The function of the Willow of Cause and Effect is to disguise the way of cause and effect."

"You, me, and Lü Ming, if you absorb the Karma Willow into your life palace for three days, a magical effect will occur. If you transform into Ji Heng's appearance and stand in front of Wang Yue, then Wang Yue will be able to sense that you and he are connected by a karmic thread. This is the disguise effect brought by the Karma Willow!"

Zhao Xing was somewhat shocked. There were actually such miraculous plants in the universe? Old Qing actually had such a good thing?!

"No wonder you were able to impersonate someone else in the City of the Bookless God King."

He finally understood why Qingyuzi was able to cause such a big stir in the City of the Bookless God King.

Anyone would be confused in that situation.

"There are only nine willow branches left," Qingyuzi said with some melancholy. "I've already picked them three times from that special secret realm, so I can't go in anymore. My memories of that place are already a bit blurry."

"Once this matter is settled, come with me and see if we can get anything. I feel that if we delay for another two years, we will completely forget about that place and never be able to go in again."

"Okay." Zhao Xing nodded, and the two of them left the inner world together.

Just as I was about to look for Lü Ming, I found him waiting beside the boundary core, while the Nian beast stood at the cave entrance, its fur standing on end, seemingly on guard.

“There are two people and a beast approaching outside the Diejie Mountain,” Lü Ming said succinctly. “I wonder if they are acquaintances of yours.”

"Two people and a beast?" Zhao Xing's expression changed. Had they all come?
"Swish, swish, swish~"

Zhao Xing immediately manipulated the boundary mountain's earth veins to teleport, appearing in front of the Nian beast.

He activated his [Divine Eye of Heaven] and saw Bowei, Yan Ao, and Lu Ya beneath the crisscrossing Diejie Mountain.

However, the three of them did not travel together; they each took different routes.

"Cook, did you attract this?" The Nian beast warily looked in Lu Ya's direction, and immediately asked when it saw Zhao Xing appear.

"Yes, Lord Nian."

"You're quite capable, actually knowing a Qu Ru Divine Duck with great fortune." The Nian Beast's eyes darted around. "Could you ask him to cut some meat for me to eat? I don't want a hundred Tong Yuans anymore, I just want its flesh and blood."

In recent negotiations, Zhao Xing has promised to provide one hundred Tongyuan Divine Beasts in exchange for the Nian Beast's services.

However, at this time, the Nian beast was replaced by a Quru Shen duck.

It is clear that the cliffs were more attractive to the Nian beast.

“Lord Nian Beast, I cannot make that decision,” Zhao Xing said.

"It's alright, I'll persuade him when he gets here." The Nian beast raised its hoof, clearly intending to physically persuade him.

Zhao Xing gave a wry smile, shook his head, and went to pick up the person.

Beneath the mountain range, a little yellow duck flew around furtively. Suddenly, its eyes lit up, and it charged forward headlong.

"Quack quack!!"

Bang!
Zhao Xing stood on a rock, his chest trembling violently.

Because Lu Ya had run headfirst into his arms.

"Senior Lu Ya, it's been a long time."

"Zhao Xing!" Lu Ya flew around Zhao Xing. "You're not dead, and you've even gotten stronger, hahaha!"

"I broke through by sheer luck." Zhao Xing cupped his hands in thanks. "Thank you for your help, senior."

With a "whoosh," the little yellow duck shrank and landed on Zhao Xing's shoulder, preening its feathers: "I'm not here to help the evil god, I'm here to help you."

"Don't worry, I didn't tell anyone else, including Yan Ao."

"I pretended to be going into seclusion and sneaked out, so it took me a while."

Zhao Xing was somewhat touched that Lu Ya had actually helped keep it a secret, and hadn't even told Yan Ao.

However, his emotional moment was quickly interrupted.

"By the way, you smell so good, can I have a piece?" The little yellow duck's eyes sparkled as it pecked Zhao Xing's cheek, its expression sincere: "Just a small piece."

"Okay." Zhao Xing smiled and tore a piece of flesh from his arm.

"Crunch crunch crunch~ This is delicious!"

The Chaotic Origin Divine Body smelled so good that he couldn't help but circle around Zhao Xing.

Afterwards, Zhao Xing led the little yellow duck to Yan Ao, who was wandering around in the cave.

At this moment, Yan Ao also disguised himself, wearing a black robe and transforming into a gaunt swordsman carrying a sword.

However, Lu Ya and Zhao Xing recognized him quickly.

"You...you weren't in seclusion?" Yan Ao's eyes narrowed.

“You’ve mistaken me for someone else. My name is ‘Bei Zhi.’ Although I’m also a member of the Qu Ru divine race, I don’t know anyone named Lu Ya,” the little yellow duck snorted.

Yan Ao smiled and nodded upon hearing this: "My name is 'Jin Nan', and I am a rogue swordsman."

"Quack quack, then we're acquainted." The little yellow duck flew onto Yan Ao's shoulder.

The man and the beast stared at each other, everything understood without a word.

The next meeting with Bowei was private.

Zhao Xing first took the two into his inner world before going to find Bowei, because that was Bowei's request.

"Whoosh~"

Zhao Xingfei arrived at a cave and saw Bowei in white on a platform.

Bowei wore a white historian's robe, and the Tai Shi crown on his head was also gold-patterned with a white background and a dynamic blue river flowing around it.

Zhao Xing looked closely and saw that the panel displayed [Historian Bowei], indicating that only a portion of Bowei had come.

As expected, he used his true form as the Golden Cicada to slay different professional clones.

"Elder," Zhao Xing said respectfully after landing, "I'm ashamed to trouble you again."

"I feel ashamed that you wrote this letter?" said Bowei in white.

"..." Zhao Xing was a little embarrassed; Bowei still liked to tease him.

After making that sarcastic remark, Bowei got down to business:

"I won't participate in the fight, but I will help you."

"Now that you have reappeared in the world, I suppose Yi Ren should be dead."

“Bring all the treasures he has with you, and I’ll take care of them for you. After that, you can use them without worry,” said Bowei in white.

"Alright, Elder, please wait a moment."

Zhao Xing quickly left, found the Nian beast, took Yi Ren's treasure, and then went to the cave.

"Wow~"

Heaps of objects flew out of the ring and swirled around Bovi, while a blue river emerged from the crown of the Primordial God, washing over these divine objects.

Finally, it emitted a soft sound, its light spread and then receded, before its rotation slowed and it landed beside Bovi.

"Elder, what is Yi Ren's background?" Zhao Xing asked casually.

"I cannot name the person behind him, but he has close ties with the Novohistory faction. Most of the Novo artifacts on Iren were provided by this faction."

"You can use all of these things now, but after I clean them, many of them will only be used once and then disappear."

Looking at the pile of glittering treasures on the ground, Zhao Xing couldn't help but feel a little regretful, as they could only be used once.

"Elder, to what extent can it be done?"

With a casual flick of his finger, Bowei sent a jade-green thumb ring flying into the air.

"This divine object is called the 'Finger of Ten Thousand Names'. It can transform anyone it points at. It is impossible to see the person, but as long as you know their name and say it out loud, you can also transform into that person. It just takes a little longer to take effect."

"It can not only affect oneself, but also others, making others become someone else."

"Of course, this is different from the essence of Hou's reforms; it's just that other people's perceptions will change."

"The only taboo is to not turn into a dead person, or to become a god-king. The spell will collapse, and the backlash will be that for a short period of time, others will never forget your true face, and you will have a strong connection with the target for a period of time."

"If you suffer a backlash, you'll be easily tracked down."

"However, Xi Tian Shen Wang City doesn't have any powerful Void Faction historians. You can impersonate others just as Yi Ren impersonated you back then."

"It can only be used once."

Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised. Who was he referring to?
He then carefully put it on.

Baiyi Bowei waved his hand again and a second ethereal divine object floated out. It was a robe as thin as a cicada's wing, and its appearance was very ordinary.

This thing was rather strange; Zhao Xing couldn't remember what it looked like at first glance.

I closed my eyes and opened them again, but I still couldn't remember.

Weird!

“This is called…” Bovi even paused for a moment before saying, “I’ve forgotten the original name of this robe.”

"We usually call it the Void Robe."

Zhao Xing was taken aback. Had he even forgotten about Bowei?

"The Void has no defensive effect, nor can it provide you with any divine power boost; its only effect is 'Void'."

"The concept of nothingness is somewhat vague. The specific effect is that you are easily overlooked after you put it on, and others will treat you as if you don't exist."

Even if someone leaves an impression, they will be quickly forgotten after the first meeting.

"It should be able to continue to be used."

Zhao Xing was amazed once again.

Because the Void Robe's effects were too powerful, Bowei and Zhao Xing didn't even talk about it for long; they simply put it away and moved on.

“The third item is a reverse carving knife.” Bowei picked up a small carving knife that was about three inches long.

"It was originally used by a certain true god-king to inscribe the Void History Book. Later, it was made into a divine weapon by someone. It belongs to the combat-type Void artifact, but it is far less powerful than the original."

"How do you use it?" Zhao Xing asked.

Bovi pointed the carving knife at himself and the handle at Zhao Xing, then said, "Use any spell to hit me."

Without saying a word, Zhao Xing unleashed a powerful heavy water lightning bolt.

The divine thunder had just been unleashed when it rebounded at an even faster speed. Zhao Xing reacted quickly and dodged, but the hem of his clothes was still pierced.

Zhao Xing was shocked. His spell was actually deflected by a powerful force, and at an extremely fast speed. He was almost hit by it.

“This is the effect of going against the grain,” Bovi said. “Below the God-King, most magical paths are effective.”

"So strong! Wouldn't they be invincible against magic-based professions?" Zhao Xing was somewhat shocked.

It can reflect any spell; it's truly invincible.

“A fake is still a fake; it has flaws,” Bovi said calmly. “It’s useless against a true god; even if it goes against the flow, it won’t hit the true god.”

"Furthermore, it has no effect on mechanics or Qi practitioners, unless it is the sword Qi of a sword cultivator."

Zhao Xing still felt that this divine object was incredibly powerful; if used properly, it could even kill the opponent using their ultimate move.

While he was still reeling from the shock, Bovi had already gotten up.

"The rest of the small items are not worth mentioning; they are mostly just tricks. Figure them out yourself."

"Thank you, elder."

Zhao Xing looked up to see him off, only to find that Bowei had already left, and at a very fast speed, disappearing into the air in just a few steps. Clearly, he had used some powerful spells to erase his traces and jump out of the river of time.

"Bovi is getting stronger and stronger." Zhao Xing activated his Heavenly Eye, but he could only see five steps further. After five steps, Bovi's afterimage of time faded to the point of being impossible to detect.

Since leaving his master and being freed from the restrictions of the Great Dao Golden Hoop, Bowei's growth rate has been incredibly fast. Even a single Golden Cicada clone is so powerful that Zhao Xing even believes that Bowei is extremely close to becoming a God-King.

"Fortunately, they are friends, not enemies."

Zhao Xing kept the Void Robe, the Ten Thousand Names Ring, and the Reverse Path Carving Knife separately, and took away the remaining small items before quickly returning to the cave.

At this moment, Qingyuzi, Nian beast, and Lüming had been waiting for a long time.

At this point, Zhao Xing felt much more confident.

He recounted the whole process to Lao Qing, and Qing Yuzi's expression was quite interesting.

He had never even heard of the Void Robe, the Reverse Dao Carving Knife, or the Ten Thousand Names Ring.

"No wonder I couldn't tell the fakes from the real thing; this guy has so many good things."

"Zhao Xing, with these things, I feel much more confident," Qing Yuzi said excitedly.

He clearly enjoyed the thrill of making big moves.

The plot to destroy a super power like Xi Tian Shen Wang City was so powerful that it made Qing Yu Zi's soul tremble. It was a million times more exciting than listening to music at Zhi Zhen Lou!
Over three days, Zhao Xing gave Yan Ao and Lu Ya a briefing.

Three days later, Qingyuzi calculated with his left hand and pointed forward with his right hand, full of vigor: "The auspicious time has arrived!"

"Let's turn this place upside down!"
