Humans are in the wilderness, God is in perfection!

"Nine Revolutions of Profound Skill, a body made of pure Yang Grade-one magic treasure, indeed very strong." In the secluded place of Shennong, Xia Mangqing's divine body shone brightly, having cultivated the ninth revolution of Profound Skill. Even a true god or Dao ancestor would find it difficult to break through his divine body.

After trading the "Suanni Qi Refining Method," Xia Mangqing did not immediately leave Shennong's secluded place. Instead, at Shennong's suggestion, he stayed there to cultivate supernatural powers and secret techniques, and only left after the transaction of the "Suanni Qi Refining Method" was settled.

"Next, I will cultivate the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons."

Xia Mangqing continued his cultivation. The elixirs and rare items he needed were already prepared. Before long, he successfully cultivated the first and second levels, creating twelve avatars. Each of them could be called an avatar, and even if he died, he could be reborn.

"After that, we'll wait to exchange them for those chaotic artifacts."

After mastering the secret technique of creating clones, eleven of the clones temporarily entered the portable immortal abode.

Now, Xia Mangqing's true form can become a Pure Yang True Immortal at any time, but he plans to cultivate the Golden Pill of the Sun. Therefore, he needs to wait until he can trade for the Chaos Treasures required for cultivation and go to the Sun Star to collect the Golden Flame of the Sun.

Of course, the required chaotic artifacts could not be gathered by the Three Realms. There were two types that had never appeared before, and Xia Mangqing could only place his hopes on the Crimson Cloud Immortal Mansion and the Moonlit Pool.

With this thought in mind, one of Xia Mangqing's original divine souls went to the Perfect World to prepare to send the Golden Crow Primordial Spirit to the Three Thousand Provinces for cultivation.

After all, that place is much larger and offers more opportunities and chances.

Meanwhile, in the wilderness, several months later, Shennong summoned Xia Mangqing again.

"This magical artifact contains the chaotic wonder you requested."

Shennong handed Xia Mangqing a storage magic item. Xia Mangqing probed it with his mind and then bowed to Shennong to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, Senior Emperor."

No need for thanks.

Shennong stroked his beard and smiled gently: "Our human race has rarely seen such a rare talent, so we should naturally protect him."

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race were not determined solely by their strength, but also by the fact that in the ancient era when gods and demons vied for supremacy and immortals and gods rained down, they protected billions of human beings and led countless others to carve out a renowned name for humanity in the world.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors all held a heart of care and protection for the human race, which is something that other races cannot understand.

Shennong naturally valued a prodigy like Xia Mangqing, and his intervention was simply to provide some protection and give Xia Mangqing more time to cultivate in peace.

Xia Mangqing was deeply moved and bowed again.

Shennong smiled, took out a scroll, and said, "Fuxi knows that you are studying the art of formations. This scroll contains some of his insights into formations. Take it and study it."

Xia Mangqing's expression shifted, and he respectfully accepted it:

"This disciple thanks the Emperor for his gift."

Whether Fuxi gave him this note out of his own will or under the control of the Old Man of Source, Xia Mangqing could not tell, but the note was indeed useful to him, so he did not refuse it.

However, since it involves Fuxi, it means that the old man from the source has definitely noticed him, and he needs to be more careful in the future.

Of course, even for the Old Man of Origin, controlling him wouldn't be so easy. After all, he was at the fourth level of mental power, while the Old Man of Origin was only at the fifth level, so the difference wasn't that great.

Moreover, he has many clones, and given Old Man Yuan's cautious nature, it's impossible for him to easily expose himself and attack him.

With what he had gained, Xia Mangqing bid farewell to Shennong. In the void beyond the Three Realms, his true form and his avatars changed shape and departed.

This is the foundation of the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques"—the Seventy-Two Transformations.

This Seventy-Two Transformations is not actually seventy-two variations, but rather a figurative number. Most importantly, this supernatural power can even change one's spiritual aura. With Xia Mangqing's current cultivation level, even true gods and Dao Ancestors would rarely be able to see through it.

Hidden within the Three Realms and the chaotic void, it is by no means easy for the leaders of various forces to find all his avatars.

In the chaotic void, a huge star radiates a soft light. Beneath the star lies a vast, calm pool, as clear as a mirror, reflecting the star's image—a truly magnificent sight.

This is Moonlit Pool, created by the world god Beixiu, and it is also an excellent place to cultivate the power of the Great Dao.

There were two clones heading to this place, and the treasures they carried were relatively ordinary. Although they were confident that they could get through, they would not be arrogant. In case of any unexpected events, they would not lose their due caution.

"Enter."

Xia Mangqing sent one clone directly into the space, while his other clone remained in his personal immortal abode.

The next moment, the scene before them suddenly changed, revealing a vast, boundless ocean with a floating bridge stretching out into the distance, its end nowhere in sight.

Landing on the floating bridge and gazing at the horizon, Xia Mangqing recalled the situation at Moonlit Pool.

There are five large islands in the Moonlit Pool: Snow Island, Volcano Island, Ten Thousand Mountains Island, Thousand Star Island, and finally, Falling Moon Island, as well as three Treasure Islands.

There are also many guardians, and Xia Mangqing has to face the Yakshas before entering the snow island.

This Yaksha was quite powerful, especially in terms of strength. After his clones merged into one, he was almost a true god. However, Xia Mangqing's current resources and methods were also extraordinary, and he defeated him with his swordsmanship.

Upon arriving at the snow island, the situation was the same as when Ji Ning landed on the island. The almost crazed Xiu Ke Heavenly God directly attacked Xia Mangqing, but his strength was far inferior, so he was suppressed and awakened by Xia Mangqing.

……

"Has the Three Realms been in existence for over a hundred years?"

In the Great Xia World, Xia Mangqing's true divine soul returned, but his expression changed the next moment.

After some calculations, he discovered that the difference in the flow of time between the two realms was even greater, by about ten thousand times.

This resulted in the fact that in just a few days after he went to the other side, more than a hundred years had passed in the Three Realms!

"Will things change in the future?"

Xia Mangqing wasn't sure. Although a difference of ten thousand times was already astonishing, it seemed insignificant compared to the long time unit of the Chaos Era.

"That's good. Before the Immortal Flower blooms, my strength should be able to reach the forefront of the Three Realms."

Xia Mangqing thought to himself that in the past few days, he had brought the Golden Crow Primordial Spirit into the Three Thousand Provinces and had also learned that a grand showdown of geniuses from the Three Thousand Provinces would be held in a few years.

The Great Showdown of Geniuses from Three Thousand Provinces is actually an opportunity to enter the Ancient Immortal Ruins and compete for ultimate fortune.

For other prodigies and ancient freaks, there are only a few years left, but for Xia Mangqing, he has tens of thousands of years to prepare. When his memories and insights are connected, why should he worry about not being able to gain something in the Immortal Ancient World?

"Those two clones have been in Moonlit Pool for over a hundred years, and it's unknown which island they've reached."

The Moonlit Pool isolates his clones, so he doesn't know their situation. Of course, he can't tell anything after more than a hundred years, since there's an island in the Moonlit Pool that serves as a test, requiring a hundred years of killing. It's normal that they haven't come out yet.
