Chapter 358 An epic choice, Daye Dynasty, Xingxian Pass!
"Be good, go in and have some sleep."

"Cold? It's called an ice coffin, but it's not cold, just a little chilly."

Zhao Xing was in a small sleeping barrier, coaxing his three pets, they were the mountain cat Long Aotian, the Cang Ni dog Xiaotian, and the inverted sheep Huantian.

"Are you going or not?! If not, I'll stew you and eat you!" Zhao Xing said with a threatening look on his face, looking at the three pets, "I finally managed to get you to the Rule Realm, but you're wasting your life on the road? Get in now."

Wang Wang!

The Cang Ni dog tucked its tail between its legs and obediently jumped into the ice coffin.

Meow~
The upside-down sheep jumped lightly, and then lay down like a corpse, imitating Cang Ni.

"Meow~" The mountain cat rubbed against Zhao Xing and started to act coquettishly.

"How long? If everything goes well, it will be five hundred years. If not, it will be a thousand years." Zhao Xing said, "Your life span will not last that long. Go to sleep. When you wake up, you can play together."

The mountain cat had no choice but to walk into the ice coffin reluctantly. It looked back every few steps and saw that Zhao Xing had no intention of changing his mind, so it could only meow softly, then gracefully turned into a flash of lightning and jumped into the ice coffin and coiled up.

"Chichi~"

Zhao Xing waved his hand, and nine streams of icy aura suddenly emerged from the ice coffin, freezing the three pets instantly.

It shows a countdown of one thousand years.

"It's done."

Feeling that the breath of the three pets had become extremely weak, Zhao Xing began to walk out.

There are many ice coffins in the barrier, among the twenty-one people in the Dao realm of the Great Zhou (not counting Yun Tiandao), thirteen are sleeping.

Except for Zhao Xing, Liu Tianning, King Luohou, Lu Ying, Zi Gu, Wei Hong, and Ji Si, the rest have fallen into a deep sleep.

Yun Tiandao didn't sleep either. Originally, Zhao Xing advised him to sleep deeply because Yun Tiandao's skills had been honed to a point where there was no room for improvement and there was no room for improvement.

But how could Yun Tiandao sleep?

Yun Tiandao plans to repair the magic circle during this time.

In his words, one more skill may mean one more hope of saving loved ones.

Zhao Xing did not try to persuade him any further and let him tinker with it.

Liu Tianning, King Luohou, Wei Hong and Lu Ying are responsible for handling the affairs within the Jiezhou Cave Heaven. Such a large empire still needs strong people to take charge and maintain its operation.

The emperor couldn't sleep even more. Ji Che was also studying hard, and what he learned was even more diverse.

The reason why Ji Si, the fate official, did not fall into sleep was very simple. Zhao Xing once said that fate officials were very difficult to cultivate in the universe, and were one level behind other professions overall. Others could be strengthened to varying degrees, but fate officials did not.

So Ji Si refused to fall asleep no matter what, and kept studying [Star Fortune Strategy].

Zhao Xing walked out of the realm of sleep. Long Xiao, Mi Fu, Chen Shijie, Xia Jing, King Shenluo, Ye Yukong, Dong Ze, Li Hao, Ji Zixuan, Princess Youruo, Ling Tianchen... were all sleeping peacefully in the ice coffins.

There is a countdown on the ice coffin, showing the sleeping warning line and safety line.

"Boom~"

The gate is closed and the barrier is sealed.

They will only be awakened under special circumstances, or when the Xuanhuang Realm Boat reaches the spiritual energy area.

…………

Ever since the Great Zhou ascended into the void of the universe, Emperor Wu changed the reign title to "Tai Shi", implying that the Great Zhou will enter a new beginning.

In the first year of Taishi, a lot of things happened, including the explosion of Xuanhuang Realm, Zhao Xing's preaching and popularizing common sense in the universe, and some powerful people in Da Zhou began to fall asleep.

In the second year of Taishi, some officials began to fall into slumber again, because the population of the Great Zhou was now concentrated in a few prefectures, and management did not require so many people.

In the third year of Taishi, the Great Zhou began to implement a rationing system.

The Reiki Law was enacted in the same year, and most of the Reiki substances were collected and concentrated in the cultivation areas.

The spiritual energy law also imposed restrictions on officials and practitioners. Those who were not officials of the Great Zhou could only practice on their own with their vital energy and were not allowed to absorb spiritual energy for practice. They were also prohibited from trading spiritual energy substances.

In the original era of spiritual energy, a large number of practitioners should have emerged, but during this period of wandering, the Great Zhou needed to make rational use of every bit of spiritual energy.

Even the speed at which high-quality talents are born must be controlled. Anyone who dares to practice secretly will be severely punished.

The promulgation of this law caused quite a stir. Everyone originally thought that the spiritual energy age had arrived and that life would be good, but they did not expect that things were still the same as before. Wouldn't that mean their ascension was in vain?

In the fourth year of Taishi, there was considerable turmoil in various places. The dissatisfied people believed that the "Spiritual Qi Law" interrupted their path to advancement, especially the surrendered sects that had just joined the Great Zhou not long ago, who openly raised the flag of rebellion.

Give me freedom or die!
Then, they really died.

In the fifth year of Taishi, King Luohou led his people in a bloody suppression. Anyone who dared to raise the flag of rebellion in the prefectures within Jiezhou Cave Heaven would be executed.

The unrest was completely suppressed before it even started.

In the sixth year of Taishi, normal life returned to all parts of the Great Zhou.

For people with a low level of spiritual attainment, it is just a matter of changing the place where they live.

Whether they practice Reiki or not does not affect their original lives.

Only future generations are destined to enjoy the benefits of the cosmic version. After all, only a few people can cultivate to that level.

In the sixth year of Taishi, King Luohou, who had returned from the turmoil, reported the situation, but found that Ji Che was distracted.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" King Rāhu called out twice.

"Hmm, hm?" Ji Che turned around, "Where were you talking about?"

"Your Majesty, I just mentioned that the rebellion of the Siji Sect in Ji County has been settled. The leader of the rebellion has been killed, but how to deal with the rest, please decide, Your Majesty."

"Let those who were coerced go." Ji Che waved his hand and said, "In order to avoid causing panic, only the main culprit will be executed."

"Yes."

After a pause, King Luohou still asked: "Your Majesty seems to be uneasy, is there something troubling you?"

Ji Che shook his head: "No."

In fact, Ji Che was thinking of the Temple of Samsara that Zhao Xing had told him about.

"Those in the Samsara Realm are not free either. They will be watched by the Samsara Temple... Today I promulgate the Spiritual Energy Law, prohibiting those strong men in the sect world from ascending through spiritual energy. How similar it is."

"But I listened to my elder brother's advice and concentrated the allocation of resources in order to allow the Great Zhou to gain a firm foothold in the universe. What are the superpowers of the Samsara Temple doing for?"

Ji Che shook his head and stopped thinking about distant things.

At the moment, it is still uncertain whether the Great Zhou can successfully reach the ancient territory of Yuanhai.

In the seventh year of Taishi, Zhao Xing arranged for his family to fall into a deep sleep. Zhao Ruide, Madam Cai, Zhao Zheng, and Zhao Chuanzong fell into a deep sleep. His two younger sisters had already followed their husband's family and fell into a deep sleep in the second year of Taishi.

The eighth year of Taishi.

Zhao Xing summoned the top-ranking experts from the three factions' agriculture departments to formulate the "Native Species Plan", while Ji Che, King Luohou, and other chief officers were listening in.

"Although our dynasty has some savings, if we spend all our money when we enter the Xuanling Star Region in the future, we will soon spend all our money."

"The Reiki Method is about saving money, while the Native Species Plan is about increasing revenue."

Zhao Xing described the plan.

"We in Xuanhuang Realm have special products that other places don't have. Although the quality is not high, due to their scarcity, some things can be sold to make money."

“Although I don’t earn much and the profit is not big, it is at least a livelihood for my Da Zhou.”

Shao Si Nong Chen Yu asked curiously, "Sir, what are the specialties of Xuan Huang Realm?"

The others including Ji Che, King Luohou and others also looked over.

At present, there are more than 500,000 kinds of treasure-level items in the Xuanhuang Realm. They really don't know which ones are considered "specialties" and which ones are not found in the universe.

Zhao Xing said: "Specialties are divided into two categories. One is non-renewable resources, such as various minerals. There is a treasure called Xuanhuang Yuanling Stone, which comes from the heaven."

"This crystal ore is half Yuan Qi and half Ling Qi. They coexist at the same time. It is a very unique structure."

"Its practical value is average, but it has high research value. If it is sold to a weapon refining family or a specialized research institution, then the mineral veins dug from the heavens can sell one high-quality star weapon, or even a top-quality one."

"Secondly, the Dragon Essence Mine, which is unique to Xuanhuang Realm, is produced in the ancient land of Longting. It is a dragon clan companion ore. There are substances similar to the dragon clan's essence in the crystal ore. It can only be effective for bloodlines in the Rule Realm at most. However, it is not scarce. If it is sold to certain medicine refining forces or beast taming forces, it can be sold for more than its own value."

"I call these things 'wilderness minerals'."

"Many forces are interested in the mineral resources in the wilderness, because they may be able to synthesize high-value treasures from some inconspicuous low-end goods. Or refine high-level medicines, or create powerful Taoist soldiers."

Pig iron is tempered into steel, and in terms of quality, the things Zhao Xing just mentioned are not very high. The main focus is on "research value". One of the most valuable things of the dynasty that ascended from the wilderness is these "primary minerals".

"But there are only a limited number of such items. Once they are sold out, they will be gone. They cannot be used as a livelihood for our Great Zhou."

"The second type is renewable resources, which can be used as a livelihood."

"One is the 'native plant species' that is unique to Xuanhuang Realm, and the other is the native mammals."

Zhao Xing explained: "The principle is the same as the first one, so I won't go into details."

"The purpose of issuing the Spiritual Energy Law is mainly to foster the growth of native species, so that our Great Zhou can accumulate some wealth during the time it sails in this void."

"Of course, if we arrive at the territory of the Yuanhai Ancient Country and find that the actual situation is different from what we thought and the things are hard to sell, then we can also directly sell the spiritual liquid and spiritual crystals condensed from the spiritual energy. However, this is the cheapest way and there is basically no profit."

There is no shortage of spiritual energy in the spiritual star field. The spiritual energy condenses into spiritual liquid and spiritual crystal just for the convenience of carrying. This kind of technology can't even be called technology. It's pure hard labor and of course there is no profit at all.

The voyage is estimated to take five hundred to one thousand years. It is impossible for Zhao Xing to let Da Zhou sleep foolishly and do nothing, waiting to make a living after arriving at the destination. That would waste a lot of time.

Just for Lao Yun, he had to buy some more time. After all, he was the one who called him out using the "prophecy".

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, raising animals and farming are both cheap primary industries. Can't we do some technical work?" Lu Ying asked. "Can Lord Zi Gu forge some magic weapons to sell?"

Swish, swish, swish~Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Zi Gu.

Today, Zi Gu is the Junior Engineer of the Great Zhou. Of course, he doesn't care about this position at all, he just wants to take a ride.

Zi Gu had no intention of making any contribution to the Great Zhou. He mainly depended on the attitude of his elder brother Zhao Xing.

"If the Grand Minister of Agriculture thinks I can do it, I will do it." Seeing everyone looking at him, Zi Gu expressed his attitude.

Zhao Xing shook his head: "The technology that Zi Gu mastered was inherited from Puta, and Puta came from the Purple God Mansion. Before Zi Gu recognizes his ancestry, such behavior is very dangerous."

"Besides, during the time we were in the Realm Boat, we were short of many materials. Even if Zi Gu wanted to refine something, he still lacked some key materials in the universe."

"During the time in the boundary boat, Zi Gu should not move. Let's see what happens after we get out of the wasteland."

"Now let's just talk about the plan for the period of sailing in the void."

"Farming and raising animals really don't bring much profit. We are a weak dynasty that has just ascended to the heavens. We have no way of getting involved in any highly profitable business."

"However, I will select some special products and plant them together, so that I can save some wealth."

Everyone felt helpless. If Da Zhou was viewed as an individual, the current Da Zhou was just an ordinary person with some funds but no skills or strength.

If you want to get involved in a business with huge profits, you are courting death, and you will be devoured without leaving a single bone.

Fortunately, we have Zhao Xing as our guide, so we can still find a way to make some money. Otherwise, the Great Zhou would have to cross the river by feeling the stones, and there is no telling how many pitfalls we would encounter.

Of course, you may also step into a pit and disappear directly.

"Chen Yu, Meng Kun, Ji Youtang, Yunze, Kan Qing, Lu Xia, Chu Qianqiu, Zhuang Danan..."

"You planted the plants on the list in Daoyuan, Shangluo, Kunyuan and other counties."

"The Dragon Horse Bureau and the Beast Taming Department are in Sihai, Gaoyuan and other counties, raising the following beasts."

"From now on, the two major breeding areas are designated as restricted areas, and entry and exit require procedures."

"Yes."

……

Starting from the eighth year of Taishi, the Great Zhou entered a peaceful period of farming according to Zhao Xing's plan.

Zhao Xing also began to have time to hone his skills, and he began a new round of learning with Yun Tiandao, a master of magic, as his teacher.

Until the fiftieth year of Taishi, nothing major happened in the Great Zhou.

In the fiftieth year of Taishi, Zhao Xing ended his practice.

Because the boundary boat is about to enter the [Void River] and speed up for the first time.

In the fiftieth year of Taishi, the core power area of ​​the Jiezhou.

Zi Gu and Lu Ying were controlling the power array of the boundary boat in a 500-meter-high mechanical mountain.

Crystal clear spots of light appeared all over their bodies, and threads spread out from the light spots, some of which went up to connect to the sky, and some of which went down to connect to the earth.

Ji Che, Zhao Xing, Yun Tiandao, King Luohou and others were watching quietly not far away.

Although I didn't quite understand it, I knew that Da Zhou had entered a critical moment.

"Your Majesty, all the ministers." Zhao Xing pointed at Zi Gu and Lu Ying in the core cabin, "Now the Xuanhuang Realm Boat is about to enter the void turbulence in the wilderness."

"The void is not static, but flows like a river. In the practice system, traveling through the void is often mentioned. It means entering the second level of the universe's void and using the flow of the void to accelerate flight."

"Is it just like the Yin Current in the Yin Realm, which allows the Yin Spirit to move quickly?" Wei Hong asked.

"You can say that." Zhao Xing nodded. "It's just that there is a difference between the Desolate Realm and the Spiritual Realm. It's easy to travel through the void in the Spiritual Realm, but it's very dangerous in the Desolate Realm."

"The 'Void River' in the Spiritual Realm is stable and has a clear direction. The 'Void River' in the Desolate Realm is turbulent and has an unclear direction, so it is called Void Turbulence."

"Of course, we have a star map. We are now entering a void river with a clear direction, but it is quite turbulent."

"Right now, Zi Gu and Lu Ying are adjusting the angle and direction of the boundary boat's entry."

Zhao Xing's words roughly made people understand the principle of acceleration.

"Zhao Xing, in the second level of origin, can you speed up your journey by traveling through the void?" King Luohou asked. He was more concerned about the realm of cultivation.

"It's possible in the Spiritual Realm, but not in the Desolate Realm." Zhao Xing said, "The turbulent currents in the Desolate Realm can easily cause accidents even for a third level realm."

"If it weren't for the stable void river, void wind would have been born, and it might even have swallowed them up directly, suddenly sending them to a desperate situation. Even the great masters of the third realm wouldn't dare to use this method to travel, as that would definitely be a waste of their lives."

King Luohou couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder the wilderness is so scary, and people turn pale at the mention of it."

The historian Sima Yu asked curiously, "Grand Minister of Agriculture, if we don't use the Void River, how long will it take to get out? Two thousand years, three thousand years?"

Zhao Xing thought for a moment and said, "It depends on where we are going. If we don't use the Void River to speed up, not counting the accidents on the road, with our current boundary boat, it will take at least five thousand years to reach the border of the Yuanhai Ancient Country."

"If there is no core power module left by Qing Yuzi, it will take more than 10,000 years."

"The longest distance is to fly along the Desolate Galaxy Belt and out of the Xuanling Star Region."

"Our Xuanhuang Realm Boat cannot get out even if it flies for 100 epochs."

The Xuanhuang Realm Boat, although it is called a Realm Boat, cannot actually be considered a Realm Star Dao Soldier. It is just at the level of a Top-grade Star Dao Soldier, with more and more materials added. The core power cabin of Qingyuzi can barely be considered to have reached the level of a Low-grade Realm Star Dao Soldier.

It saved half the time for Da Zhou (without the help of the Void River).

With the help of star maps and void rivers, the time is shortened by 10 to 20 times. The sailing time is about to years.

The exact amount of time depends on the timing when Zi Gu and Lu Ying enter the Void River.

"If Zi Gu and Lu Ying can accurately hit every branch point of the Void River, we will be out in five hundred years."

"If there is a slight deviation, this time will have to be extended."

After hearing what Zhao Xing said, King Luohou couldn't help but ask: "If there is no star map, wouldn't it be purely relying on luck to find a way out?"

The above chats are all based on the premise that Da Zhou already has the Qingyuzi Star Map.

Zhao Xing said: "Without Qing Yuzi's star map, we still have Long Ting's star map. Of course, the star map left by Long Ting is old and incomplete. As time goes by, the reference objects have changed, and its value of use is not high."

"Even if there is no star map at all, it is not just based on luck, there are other ways to judge."

"The desolate area is not a dead area. No matter how weak the spiritual energy is, it still exists. It's just like a hole, with pieces here and there."

"The further you go towards the spiritual energy realm, the higher the spiritual energy index will be."

"Even if it's the first dynasty to ascend, as long as the people among them are good at summarizing and find out the law of the weakening of the sun, the moon, and the spiritual energy. With the help of induction, combined with the strength of the light irradiated by the sun and the moon, and a little better luck, it is still possible to fly out of the wilderness."

"Of course, such exploration is indeed a life-threatening situation."

"If it is a subsequent ascending dynasty, the probability is slightly higher, because they may see some debris on the road. Some predecessors may have left road signs or even supply stations on certain planets."

A trace of emotion appeared on Sima Yu's face: "I seem to see countless sages fighting one after another in the dark universe."

"It was really not easy for our predecessors." King Rāhu sighed.

"It's not easy." Zhao Xing recalled his experiences in his previous life. As one of the first players, they advanced with an incomplete map of Dragon Court. It took them eight thousand years to get out of the wilderness.

The Great Zhou has the star map left by Qing Yuzi, which is already considered a simple mode.

"Boom~"

"Gou!"

Suddenly, the heaven and earth began to shake, and along with the shaking, a strange sound came from the sky.

It seemed as if some monster was tearing at the outer wall of the boundary ship with its claws.

The next moment, the sky darkened.

The entire Jiezhou Cave Heaven was plunged into darkness.

"Success." Zhao Xing looked up at the sky. "The boundary boat has entered the void river."

"Meng Kun and Chen Yu, inform the agricultural officials in all places to immediately activate the Skylight Plan!"

"Yes!"

On this day, the super-class Si Nong, who had been well prepared, all took off into the air and released their own solar term orders.

In less than an hour, all the prefectures saw light again.

An hour later, Zhao Xing saw that there were no problems in the reports from various places, so he flew down again to report to Ji Che.

At this time, Ji Che had already left the core power area with his ministers and came to the Temple of Heaven.

"Your Majesty, the situation is good everywhere and there is no unrest." Zhao Xing said.

Ji Che nodded, and then couldn't help but sighed: "Brother, I have also opened my eyes. Sailing in this void river can even block the power of the sun and the moon."

Looking out from the Temple of Heaven at this moment, in any direction you look, all you can see is distorted black!
"We enter the Void River from the shallows. The flow rate of the Void River will soon exceed the speed of the light of the Sun Star."

"If we can't catch up with the light of the sun, we won't be able to see anything." Zhao Xing said. "And in the wild void rivers, the most turbulent rivers will flow more than a hundred times faster than the speed of the sun's light."

"When a practitioner reaches the first level of origin, his control over spiritual energy is strengthened, and he comprehends the way of yin and yang, which enables him to reach twice the speed of light."

"Whether it is the path of magic or the path of warriors, their speed is as fast as the dawn. This is the origin of the origin of the nascent state."

"During the entire origin stage, the speed of a practitioner is about 1-10 times the speed of light. The third level of genius of a demon can reach more than times. However, this is not a reference because the third level's understanding of the Yin-Yang Dao and the use of spiritual energy spells are already comparable to the Dao Realm."

Ji Che retracted his gaze: "Brother, what level of genius are you, me, and Yun Tiandao?"

Seeing that Zhao Xing didn't say anything, Ji Che couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "When I was a child, you told me the story of Journey to the West. After we ascend to heaven, we won't be the heavenly soldiers who besiege Sun Wukong, right?"

In order to cultivate the concept of Emperor Wu's ascension, Zhao Xing often told Ji Che stories related to ascension when he was a child.

"That's not the case." Zhao Xing smiled. "At least we can become a general."

Time passes, year after year.

Xuanhuang Realm Boat, in a training ground.

"Bang bang bang!"

Three figures were engaged in a melee.

It was Liu Tianning, Yun Tiandao and Zhao Xing.

"Bang!" Yun Tiandao smashed Liu Tianning's clone with one punch, and the clone suddenly disintegrated and turned into nine spears.

Yun Tiandao picked up nine spears and shot them towards Liu Tianning's real body.

"Swish~" When Liu Tianning saw that his real body was discovered, he immediately stopped disguising himself and moved quickly among the group of clones.

Yun Tiandao was about to take off when he found himself feeling heavy all over. A small hill appeared under his feet. His body started to itch, and strands of power came from underground, trying to get into his body like a bug and pull out his spiritual energy.

"It's a combination of mountain tactics and underground palace tactics. It's the same old fighting method." Yun Tiandao looked to the other side, "Zhao Xing, can you try something new?"

"Brother Yun, I can't surpass you, the founder, in the law of time. I can only use the law of location to deal with you." Zhao Xing said with a smile.

Now his Tianshi Fa has also reached the ultimate perfection, but although it is also an ultimate perfect spell, it is more powerful in the hands of the founder.

He and Liu Tianning joined forces to besiege Yun Tiandao. There was no need to think about the law of time and space, as it would be difficult to make it work.

As soon as Zhao Xing and Liu Tianning stuck out their butts, Yun Tiandao knew what they were going to do.

"Hmph!" Yun Tiandao stepped on the clouds, which spread and blocked layer by layer, weakening the power of the mountain method and the underground palace method, and continued to chase Liu Tianning.

Zhao Xing used the method of terrain advantage to attack, while Liu Tianning used the method of floating body and self to fight the enemy.

As soon as Yun Tiandao took off, he saw the sacred tree descending. A golden and green bamboo seemed to be hanging upside down in the sky and suddenly came towards him.

"big big big!"

Yun Tiandao's right hand suddenly grew larger, expanding to a hundred meters in length and as thick as a bucket in an instant.

The golden giant hand grasped the bamboo, and the golden and green bamboo changed instantly, and even grew scales!

At the same time, a vortex appeared in the sky, and the vortex of wind cut and swallowed the pure Yuan projection.

"Come down!" Yun Tiandao pulled hard, and the Tianjiao Bamboo was pulled half out from the pure soil in the inverted Tiangang.

But at this moment, Yun Tiandao's eyes became blurry for a moment, and his hands loosened involuntarily.

The Tianjiao bamboo shrank back again.

"Another soul attack." Yun Tiandao could only watch Liu Tianning's Tianjiao Bamboo being retracted.

"Senior Yun." Liu Tianning said, "If you don't deal with Zhao Xing, you will never be able to hurt me."

"No more fighting. Today's competition ends here." Yun Tiandao retracted his magical powers.

Deal with Zhao Xing first? That's difficult.

Although Yun Tiandao has the advantage in the law of time, Zhao Xing has the advantage in the soul. He created a method called "Xuan Tu Shen Yin Fa" based on the law of terrain. This ultimate method surpasses any of Yun Tiandao's methods of terrain and is very effective in dodging.

This made it very difficult for Yun Tiandao to capture Zhao Xing's real body.

"Swish, swish, swish~" Liu Tianning and Zhao Xing put away their clones and began their daily meditation and summary.

Four hundred years and one year have passed since the Xuanhuang Realm Boat entered the Void River, and the three of them have often practiced with each other.

Occasionally, Mi Fu, Ling Tianchen, Wu Xingzhe, and Yueying Taoist would wake up, join the battle, and besiege Yun Tiandao together.

As a fierce man who has honed his skills for hundreds of thousands of years, Yun Tiandao is a big boss in the Xuanhuang Realm. Whether it is Taoism, grasp of combat opportunities, or comprehensiveness, it is a mountain that is difficult to climb.

In the past four hundred years, no one has been Yun Tiandao's opponent in a one-on-one fight except Zhao Xing, who could challenge him and put some pressure on him.

Usually it takes one against two or one against three for Yun Tiandao to use his full strength.

"After four hundred years of training, Liu Tianning and Zhao Xing, you two have made great progress." Yun Tiandao said, "Zhao Xing's geomantic method "Mysterious Earth Divine Hidden" is even stronger than my ultimate mysterious earth method of "Four Pillars Mysterious Gate"."

Yun Tiandao actually had nothing much to teach Zhao Xing. Among all the Si Nong, Zhao Xing was the closest to him.

"I'm still far inferior to Brother Yun." Zhao Xing shook his head. "In the past four hundred years, I haven't created a single magical power. The effect of this "Mysterious Earth Divine Hidden" is limited."

Have to serve!

Yun Tiandao originally possessed four minor magical powers, and his strength was unique among those in the Ascension Realm.

Among them, Zhao Xing has already learned his "Star Eyes Method". After all, it is based on the Three Gods' Fate Palace and is very easy to learn.

But no one has learned the "Star Cloud", the wind magic power "Splitting the Sky", and the small destiny magic power "Mountain and Sea Fortune".

Just learning is difficult, and creating one on your own? It's even more of a long way off.

"It took me hundreds of thousands of years to create it by observing the endless starry sky. You want to create it in just four hundred years. You look down on small magical powers too much." Yun Tiandao criticized: "Zhao Xing, your aptitude and understanding are higher than mine, but you are a little too ambitious."

"You haven't even learned my little magical power, yet you want to create your own. Why are you so anxious? No matter how anxious you are, can you be as anxious as I am?"

"Brother Yun is right." Zhao Xing accepted the advice with an open mind.

After entering the void voyage, Zhao Xing quickly maxed out all of his ultimate methods except for the self-method, and even began to create his own.

But Yun Tiandao also found that Zhao Xing was becoming more and more impatient, and often showed some quick success and instant benefits ideas.

"Senior Yun, please don't blame him." Liu Tianning said, "The fate of the entire Great Zhou rests on his shoulders. He has to consider the future and cultivate three sects at the same time. This burden is too heavy for him."

"Really? Teacher, don't make me sound so great." Zhao Xing smiled.

Seeing Liu Tianning looking at him, Zhao Xing's smile slowly faded.

"Well, there are some."

Having a firm determination in the Tao does not mean that you will be free from worries and anxieties.

In fact, Yun Tiandao, Liu Tianning, Ji Che... everyone has it.

The unknown represents fear. Being in the vast starry sky, confusion and hesitation are inevitable.

It's just that Zhao Xing's anxiety is more serious! Because he has no one to share with, and the more he knows, the more he understands the cruelty of the universe.

He could only alleviate his anxiety by practicing, practicing hard.

Under such circumstances, he has made great progress in the past four hundred years and has hidden his anxiety very well. If he is anxious, the people of Da Zhou will only be more anxious.

But Yun Tiandao and Liu Tianning, as people who often practiced together, could still see the true emotions that Zhao Xing occasionally revealed.

"No one knows what the ancient country of Yuanhai is like." Zhao Xing felt a little melancholy. As the voyage came to an end, there was always a stone in his heart that couldn't be put down.

If he were in the Xuanling star region, he would feel more at ease.

"Take a rest. If you really can't take care of it, go get a wife." Yun Tiandao advised, "Don't you have any other way to relieve your pain besides practicing?"

"Hey, don't." Zhao Xing waved his hand and said, "Don't give me bad advice. If there is one more person occupying my heart, I will be more anxious."

"Okay, I'm going to take a rest."

Yun Tiandao watched Zhao Xing leave and couldn't help but look at Liu Tianning: "Has he ever been hurt in love before?"

Liu Tianning thought: "Probably not."

"So he likes men?"

"..." Liu Tianning didn't know what to say. Thinking about Zhao Xing's journey, he had a lot of good brothers, Long Xiao, Xia Jing, Chen Shijie, Ye Yukong... but he didn't meet many women with whom he had a close relationship.

Princess Chenxi Ji Zixuan might be one of Youruo’s disciples, but this closeness is not obvious.

"This..." Liu Tianning was also a little unsure.

Does Zhao Xing really like men?
Just as the two of them were staring at each other and gradually starting to think of something wrong.

"罟~"

"Boom~"

Strange phenomena appeared in heaven and earth.

"Huh?" Yun Tiandao and Liu Tianning suddenly stared at the sky.

"Swish~" Zhao Xing also came back.

The light in the sky became stronger, and as Si Nong, the three of them could clearly feel this change.

"The Xuanhuang Realm Boat has left the Void River!" Zhao Xing judged.

"I feel that the power of the sun has become stronger." Yun Tiandao took a deep breath, "Some spiritual energy is faintly accumulating on the boundary wall of the boundary boat."

"Let's go to the core area and take a look." Liu Tianning suggested.

"Walk."

"Your Majesty, Grand Minister of Agriculture. The Xuanhuang Realm Boat has been sailing in the Void River for a total of 401 years."

"Under the leadership of Master Zi Gu, we cut into the branch nodes of the Void River a total of twenty times."

“It’s spot on, every time.”

"According to the markings on the star map, we have now arrived at the edge of the wilderness. In another fifty years, we will completely leave the Chenluo wilderness." Lu Ying reported.

The Xuanhuang Realm Boat is sometimes fast and sometimes slow in the void river.

With the existence of Purple Bone Heavenly Venerable, every node switch is perfect.

Although the power cabin is in Qing Yuzi's hands, it actually belongs to Puta. As Puta's successor, Zi Gu is in charge of controlling it, and with the help of Lu Ying, there is of course no problem at all.

Therefore, in the 451st year of Taishi, the Xuanhuang Realm Boat broke away from the Void River for the first time and began to slow down.

"It only takes fifty years to leave the Shenluo Wilderness?" Ji Che was delighted, and the others also had complicated expressions, with anticipation and uneasiness.

"Quick, let me see the star map."

"Yes." Lu Ying began to operate the star map, throwing the image of a galaxy into the air.

"Brother, where are we?" Ji Che asked. Of course, he should ask Zhao Xing about this matter.

"The border between Xingxian Pass and Chenluo Wilderness is in the north of Daye Dynasty." Zhao Xing checked the map. "In fact, we are very close, but our Xuanhuang Realm Boat is only at the level of Xingchen Daobing, so we need to fly for about 50 years before we can see Xingxian Pass."

"Wait, shouldn't we be in the ancient country of Yuanhai?" a general asked. "Why are we in the north of the Daye Dynasty?"

"The Daye Dynasty is also considered a part of the ancient country of Yuanhai." Zhao Xing explained, "If a war breaks out, the enemy will definitely consider it this way. Ancient countries have many vassals."

"The Daye Dynasty is used to guard Xingxian Pass."

"How strong is it?" Ji Che asked.

"In Qing Yuzi's opinion, the Daye Dynasty is not that great. It is considered to be relatively weak among the ancient countries of Yuanhai."

"Weak?" Some generals were puzzled. "Shouldn't they be very strong guarding the border?"

Zhao Xing pointed at the map and said, "To the north is the Shenluo Wasteland, where are the enemies?"

"How strong can the ascending forces that came out of the wilderness be? It's not even worth mentioning."

"The ancient country left its vassal forces at the edge of the wilderness for only one purpose: to serve as a buffer zone for the spread of the wilderness."

"You have probably all seen how deserts erode land. On the edge of a desert, some trees are usually planted to prevent the desert from spreading further."

“The Daye Dynasty is these trees.”

"The Daye Dynasty is indeed not as strong as the ancient countries. It is estimated that there are only one or two people in the third realm. Although it cannot be like the 'Daoyu Realm' where one person can completely prevent the wasteland from spreading, but a dynasty with a third realm can lead the power of the whole country to stop the wasteland from spreading, which can also play a role."

"In that case, guarding the border of the wilderness is a real chore." King Luohou frowned and said, "Since there is no danger, there must not be much benefit to be gained."

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded: "For a third-level individual, this kind of mission that does not put one's life in danger will bring very little reward."

"But for a dynasty, obtaining the qualification to immigrate to an ancient country and becoming a part of it is the first benefit."

"Although the spiritual energy index at the border of the wilderness is not high, it is still an opportunity for development. It would be great to be able to find a place to settle down."

"What about the second benefit?" asked King Rāhu.

"The second benefit is that we can collect some tolls from the exploration teams that leave the border."

"The third benefit is us." Zhao Xing said expressionlessly. "Over a long period of time, we can annex the ascending forces that emerge from the wilderness, plunder their resources, adopt the best of them, and turn them into our own people. Over time, we can slowly strengthen the dynasty's power."

“Although it’s slow, it’s steady.”

The ministers: "..."

"You mean, the Daye Dynasty will take action against the natives coming out of the wilderness?" King Luohou frowned.

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded. "Ancient countries usually do not accept people from the wilderness because they have enough people of their own."

"The Daye Dynasty annexed the forces in the Wilderness, and the Ancient Kingdom made them pay tribute, keeping them within its control... the big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat the shrimp."

"That's the thing."

Prime Minister Tong Wenzhuo felt that the cosmology seriously contradicted his own values. He frowned and asked, "Grand Minister of Agriculture, I have a few questions."

"please say."

"First, don't all the ancient countries want the ascended forces that came out of the wilderness? Those who have come out of the wilderness, after going through countless hardships, at least have some geniuses. Wouldn't it be better to train them well and absorb and merge them?"

"As I said earlier, the Ancient Kingdom itself is overcrowded." Zhao Xing said, "What the Prime Minister considers a genius is nothing in the eyes of the Ancient Kingdom. Even if there is a demand, they can just absorb talents from the Great Dynasty."

"Also, they didn't say no. The Daye Dynasty, for example, wouldn't kill us all. If they really don't want to let go of any geniuses, they would brainwash them and train them. It's just that it's impossible for us to maintain the independence of 'Da Zhou'."

"In the universe, resources come first, and people come second. You occupy a good place, and your life span is so long, so you can give birth to any genius you want. Why are you still considering a small ascending force like you?"

"This has nothing to do with morality. All dynasties and ancient countries followed this process to survive."

Tong Wenzhuo was speechless, because they had done the same to the southern barbarians before, and the slave army was the best example. When the Great Zhou became the "slave army", he felt that the Daye Dynasty was very immoral.

In fact, it's just a different perspective. From the perspective of the Daye Dynasty, disintegrate the ascending forces, kill the leaders, take away the resources, brainwash, absorb geniuses, and strengthen oneself...that is the best way to develop.

Based on the calculation that one world star or one ascending force emerges in one era, there are also a lot of ascending forces emerging from the Wilderness. If the people of the Daye Dynasty live long enough, they can also wait until many of these small shrimps are eaten.

In fact, there are deeper reasons why the ancient country does not want the power of the wilderness, but Zhao Xing does not need to say too much. If he can't even pass the first hurdle, what's the point of talking about other things?

Does the desolation of the Xuanling star field have anything to do with the tiny Black Wind Village of the Great Zhou?

"The second question is, how did the Daye Dynasty come to an end a long time ago?" Tong Wenzhuo originally wanted to ask something else, but the first question extinguished his thoughts and asked the key question directly.

Tong Wenzhuo was actually asking how Da Zhou was doing now.

Zhao Xing also gave a direct answer: "The boundary boat is hidden, and the Li Dao Realm sneaks through. The dynasty guarding the vast Xingxian Pass will not be able to monitor every starry sky."

The tiny Li Dao realm was flying in the void, like an ant or a turtle crawling, completely inconspicuous.

But the world ship is a small world moving in the air, how conspicuous would it be?

Grab it in an instant and refine it in an instant.

"At the edge of the wasteland, the spiritual energy index has risen. A Dao Realm cultivator riding a small warship is also capable of crossing the void, but the speed will be very slow."

"If a strong person sneaks across the border, slowly develops, and becomes prominent, then he can return to the place where the boundary boat is hidden and bring it into the country. The difficulty will be much lower."

"Of course, these are options only available to dynasties and ascended forces with strong vigilance."

"The naive Ascender, who was in contact for the first time, had no idea of ​​this and just foolishly sent it over."

Tong Wenzhuo's face turned red, as if naivety was referring to people with strong morals like him.

"Even if you are highly alert and don't rush over foolishly, and choose the method I just mentioned, there is still a lot of uncertainty."

"The Daye Dynasty will also arrange 'Star Patrollers' to search for hidden indigenous boundary ships and eat them if they are found."

"Before the dynasty's strong men can cultivate successfully and come back to look for it, it may have already been destroyed."

“Even if one has achieved success in cultivation, if one is only at the first or second level of the origin, one still needs to spend money to find connections before one can bring in the boundary boat from his hometown. Whether or not to release people depends on the appetite of the strong man from the Daye Dynasty.”

After hearing this, Tong Wenzhuo couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Dark, so damn dark..."

Of course it’s dark. How did the players in the previous life get through?

The first few groups of people were basically killed, and then the game restarted and became about aliens.

As an indigenous person, there is no such option.

Ji Che did not let this dejected atmosphere last too long, he immediately said: "Da Zhou is lucky, with Qing Yuzi, Puta, and Fairy Su as endorsements. Zi Shen Mansion has a status in the ancient country of Yuanhai. Compared with other ascended forces, we are already much better."

Zhao Xing nodded: "Yes, we are much better."

Now that the boundary boat has left the void river and only has fifty years to go, the Great Zhou will have to decide how to pass the first level.

"Now, there are three paths before the Great Zhou."

"First, use the name of Purple God Mansion and drive the boundary boat directly through the customs."

“This plan is very risky.”

"Because Zi Gu and I are not on the list of people leaving the country, we only have the token, so it will definitely be checked."

“If the Daye Dynasty sees that we are just a group of people in the Li Dao realm, they will probably become suspicious. How come we don’t even have an elder in the Origin realm when we travel far to explore the wilderness? Once they suspect that we are natives, even if we are lucky enough to obtain some inheritance from the Purple God Mansion, I’m afraid they will swallow us up.”

"Once such a situation occurs, it will be annihilation. In order to prevent the Purple God Palace from knowing, the Daye Dynasty will probably not leave a single person alive."

"Of course, it is also possible that the Purple God Mansion is very famous and was allowed to pass directly. In this way, we can enter the Yuanhai Ancient Country as quickly as possible, contact the Purple God Mansion, and smoothly settle in the Yuanhai Ancient Country."

“Second, we will still use the name of Purple God Mansion, but we will not open the boundary boat, and only a few strong people will pass through.”

"This is the plan proposed by Qing Yuzi. If we don't have a world of wealth and no benefits to gain, then even if we are not on the 'exit list', the chances of the Daye Dynasty's strongmen making a move will be very small."

"A few strong men will enter the retreat to contact the Purple God Palace, and then ask the strong men from the Purple God Palace to come and pick up the rest of the people."

"This solution has a high safety factor and takes relatively little time."

"Third, no one believes that they can sneak across using the natives' methods. Although the Purple God Mansion is very strong according to Qing Yuzi's description, it has been such a long time, and no one knows if there will be any accidents."

“If the Purple God Mansion is gone, or has fallen, or is hostile to the Daye Dynasty, then it would be dangerous to break through like this.”

"In this plan, we have a person with minor magical powers to sneak across the border, which is equivalent to an ant that can turn invisible. It has the highest safety factor, but it takes a long time."

The reason why Zhao Xing proposed the third option was mainly because it had been verified by Yun Tiandao in his previous life.

His "Xingdouyun" successfully smuggled the first batch of players with him. Those who were not taken by Yun Tiandao were discovered and killed.

That was the result verified at a border patrolled by a group of people in the Origin Realm and Li Dao Realm.

Since the Daye Dynasty is called a dynasty, it must not be stronger than the eight great powers that Zhao Xing encountered in his previous life.

"How do you choose among the three options?" Ji Che looked at his ministers.

A quick discussion broke out below.

In the 451st year of Taishi, when there were still 50 years to go to Xingxian Pass, the top leaders of Da Zhou made the important decision to enter the territory of the universe.

The Great Zhou chose the second option to pass the Xingxian Pass, that is, Zhao Xing and Zi Gu flew the banner of the Purple God Mansion and took a few strong men to pass the Xingxian Pass.

The only hidden danger of this plan is that the power gap between Zishen Mansion and Daye Dynasty has changed.

However, explorers who venture into the universe and the starry sky never lack courage.

Choosing Yun Tiandao's method is too time-consuming and there are also variables. Instead of this, it is better to choose the second method.

If it is destined that the Great Zhou will be destroyed, then even if there are ten thousand plans, it will be difficult to escape.

……

After flying at the edge of the wasteland for about twenty years, the Xuanhuang Realm Boat stopped moving in the 471st year of Taishi and began to search horizontally for [Star Land] and [Wasteland Star] where it could hide.

God favors the Great Zhou, they have Zhao Xing.

In another important decision of choosing a hiding place, Zhao Xing went against the majority opinion and avoided a star-shattering belt deliberately left by the Daye Dynasty.

The Star-Broken Belt seems complex and difficult to find, but in fact it is a common tactic used by the forces on the border of the Wilderness. There are a large number of star detectors evenly distributed in it.

If the indigenous forces choose to hide here, they will be sent directly into a trap.

Finally, Da Zhou moved away from the trap 'Star Shattering Belt' and chose a deserted planet to stay.

"It's right here. It can't be too far."

"If it's too far, we will lose the mobility of the boundary ship and it will take a long time to get to Xingxian Pass, which will increase the variables." Zhao Xing said.

"Okay." Ji Che now completely handed the fate of the Great Zhou into the hands of Zhao Xing.

……

In the 471st year of Taishi, winter.

The Great Zhou named this desolate planet "Star of Hope".

It took a year to choose the hiding place.

The second step is to dismantle the core power cabin of the Jiezhou, which is the spaceship that Puta, Qing Yuzi and Su Xianzi are riding on.

With it as the core, a warship was built to allow Zhao Xing and his men to fly the remaining distance.

After being dismantled, the Xuanhuang Realm Boat completely lost its mobility. If it wants to be restored, it will have to wait another hundred years to rebuild it. However, the replacement will inevitably be very weak, which means that all hopes are placed in the hands of Zhao Xing, Zi Gu and others.

Ten years later, in the 482nd year of Taishi, the Puta was repaired in the hands of Zi Gu Tianzun.

Zi Gu spent all his energy on external repairs.

From the surface, the Puta looked like a real boundary ship, but its interior was extremely simple, like a bare shell without any decoration.

In the 483rd year of Taishi, the candidate who would take the risk to pass the test was confirmed.

Zhao Xing, mainly Zi Gu, is responsible for negotiations.

Yun Tiandao, Lu Ying, Liu Tianning, Dong Ze, Luohou Wang, Qiu Yuanshan, Xia Jing and Ye Yukong served as assistants and served as servants of the natives.

The plan was further improved: Qing Yuzi, Puta, Su Xianzi and others discovered a small world in the wilderness, so they sent their disciples back in a world boat to report the news.

Of course, this plan was only based on the rhetoric used when the Daye Dynasty conducted customs inspections. It would be best if there was no inspection and no suspicion as to why two unregistered Dao Realm people from the Purple God Mansion came back on a boundary boat.

In the 484th year of Taishi, the Puta set out from the Star of Hope.

Carrying the hopes of hundreds of millions of people in the Great Zhou, the ten-member group took the first step in contact with the forces of the universe.

"Boom~"

The Puta traveled lightly, and the journey that would have taken thirty years was shortened to ten years.

In the 494th year of Taishi, an endless Milky Way appeared before everyone's eyes.

Xingxian Pass is already in sight.

On April 5th of the 494th year of Taishi, inside the Puta, the core cockpit.

"Om~"

On a smooth mirror, a straight line symbolizing the communication reception signal suddenly fluctuated violently.

"Brother, someone is greeting me." Zi Gu Tianzun was a little nervous, and he quickly looked at Zhao Xing.

When he saw this signal line, the stone in Zhao Xing's heart relaxed. Zi Gu had an illusion that Zhao Xing's entire temperament seemed to have changed.

"Don't panic, let the signal come in." Zhao Xing stood in front of the mirror.

"Yes." Zi Gu nodded.

The water rippled, and soon a silver-white figure appeared on the mirror.
