Chapter 357: The realm of cultivation in the universe, Xia Dynasty’s painful experience! (Long chapter)

The Xuanhuang Realm was "destroyed". Among the people present, only three people knew the truth: Zhao Xing, Ji Che, and Yun Tiandao.

The rest of the people were stunned.

"Xuanhuang Realm, exploded?" Lu Ying's face turned pale, "How could this happen..."

"Is it, is it because we dug up too many materials?" Chen Ju was filled with guilt and trembling all over.

"We can't go back." Mi Fu murmured to himself.

"My hometown is gone." Liu Tianning's eyes dimmed.

"It should have been me who died, God knows..." Ling Tianchen closed his eyes in pain.

"Ugh……"

All of them showed varying degrees of sadness, guilt, and surprise.

Even Yun Tiandao and Ji Che, who knew the inside story, were shocked.

I heard Zhao Xing talk about "hiding and breaking illusions", but I didn't expect it to be verified within half a year.

"Your Majesty, as your subjects, we must not be too sad. We still have a lot of things to do. For the sake of the people in the boundary ship, we need to cheer up as soon as possible." Zhao Xing said.

"Oh, yeah." Ji Che also calmed down: "Lu Ying, close the lookout area here, and the rest of you, go back."

"Yes."

"My minister retire."

"Your Majesty, take care and don't be too sentimental."

All the ministers took their leave one after another, and some even came to comfort Ji Che.

When most people had left, Ji Che and Yun Tiandao moved at the same time and followed Zhao Xing to a place.

"Brother, what you said has really been verified!" Ji Che was a little excited, "The Xuanhuang Realm has not been destroyed?"

"Yeah." Zhao Xing nodded.

"Why?" Yun Tiandao asked, "Why does this phenomenon occur?"

"Don't ask any more questions." Zhao Xing pointed to the sky. "This matter involves secrets. Qing Yuzi was hunted down because of this matter. His enemy may still be alive. If I say too much, I'm afraid people will remember me."

“It is only because I have cultivated the Three Gods Fate Palace that I dare to reveal a little to you, but from today on, you’d better bury this matter in your heart and don’t mention it to anyone.”

In fact, it was not mentioned in the will at all. It was just that Mr. Zhao used it to take the blame.

However, Qing Yuzi has already taken a lot of blame, so it doesn't matter if he takes one more.

Ji Che and Yun Tiandao looked at each other, then nodded, indicating that they would not mention it again.

"Brother, I'm curious, how terrifying are the strong people in the universe?"

Zhao Xing thought about it, stretched out his hand and pointed, and a three-dimensional star map appeared above his head.

"To talk about the realm of cultivation, we must first understand where we are."

"This is the map left by Qing Yuzi."

"The Xuanhuang Realm is located in the Shenluo Desolate Territory."

"Shenluo Desolate Territory is one of the Desolate Territory galaxy belts in the Ancient River Realm and the Xuanling Star Region."

Yun Tiandao thought thoughtfully: "The desolate domain corresponds to the spiritual energy domain? The meaning of the Xuanling Star Domain refers to the territory full of spiritual energy in the universe?"

Zhao Xing nodded: "Yes, the Ancient River Realm contains countless spiritual star fields, and the Xuanling Star Field is one of them."

"The boundary is a collection of spiritual energy star fields, and it is also the boundary of the known universe that has been clearly explored so far."

"In fact, this border is still expanding. Qing Yuzi has heard some rumors that the Ancient River Realm is just one of the realms in the larger concept of the [Universe Realm]."

If Qing Yuzi were still alive, he would definitely be very pleased. My friend, if you can keep talking for a few more years, I would probably become an all-knowing universal expert!

Zhao Xing continued, "In the Ancient River Realm, there are countless spiritual star fields, and many large forces across star fields exist. Such as the Wilderness Ancient Country Alliance, the Ancient Hill, the Red Star Empire, the Origin Heavenly Palace, the Samsara Temple, and so on."

"But the inter-star region group is too far away. There are many desolate areas and even dead areas in between. Our mobility is too weak, so we don't have to think about traveling across star regions for now."

"Just the Xuanling Star Region where we are, there are countless civilizations and billions of races. The number of world stars is even more incalculable and has not been fully explored until now."

"In fact, the territory of the Wilderness Ancient Country Alliance alone is extremely large. Just the Yuanhai Ancient Country where Qing Yuzi lives has countless world stars, small worlds like the Xuanhuang Realm."

"In the Xuanling Star Region, the power of the human race and the power of other races are roughly 40% and 60% respectively."

Zhao Xing pondered, "Qing Yuzi said that his hometown [Yuanhai Ancient Country] is only an upper-middle level among the ancient countries, and cannot be considered a [top country]."

Ji Che took a deep breath and said, "Brother, in other words, our hometown belongs to [Ancient River Realm] - [Xuanling Star Realm] - [Yuanhai Ancient Country] - [Chenluo Desolate Realm] - Xuanhuang Star System - Xuanhuang Realm?"

Zhao Xing shook his head: "To be precise, the Shenluo Wilderness does not belong to the Yuanhai Ancient Country. It is just a galaxy belt distributed in the Xuanling Star Region. This place is ownerless."

"Of course, according to the route we are taking, we will eventually appear within the territory of the Yuanhai Ancient Country."

"Are there multiple routes?" Yun Tiandao asked.

"Yeah." Zhao Xing nodded.

In fact, the starry sky route he is taking now is different from that in his previous life. In his previous life, Zhao Xing took another direction to the Shenluo Wilderness.

After about eight thousand years of dormancy, it appeared in the spiritual territory. The route that led out was to the border of the [Red Star Empire].

Of course, players who ascended later discovered many [Star Roads] one after another.

You can find the Shenluo Desolate Area. As long as you don't go towards the [Death Star Road], you will always appear in the territories of eight forces, namely the [Red Star Empire], [Lingyan Ancient Kingdom], [Tianfeng Ancient Kingdom], [Cangyue Demon Kingdom], [Hailuo Dynasty], [Tianyuan Star Alliance], [Blue Sea Dynasty], and [Earth God Palace].

If you go to the Death Star Road, the final result will be a dead end, and you can only start over. Because this desolate area not only runs through the territories of the eight major forces, but also extends beyond the [Xuanling Star Region].

“In the Xuanling Star Domain, any dynasty basically has a small territory and has appeared in the Xuanling Star Domain for a short time. They have not yet established a firm foothold and are usually relatively weak,” said Zhao Xing.

"Just like our Great Zhou?" Ji Che asked.

"Uh, no." Zhao Xing was a little embarrassed. "This kind of weakness is relative. To be on the list of forces in the Xuanling Star Region means that it has gained a certain reputation. It occupies at least tens of thousands of world stars or small worlds, while our Great Zhou can only be regarded as a world-level force at most."

"It means it's about the same as Caotou Village." Yun Tiandao added.

"..." Ji Che was speechless. How come he, an emperor, was demoted to a mountain king when he arrived in the universe?
"It doesn't matter. I believe that in the near future, the Great Zhou will be able to stand at the top of the Xuanling Star Region."

"That's right. As long as you have confidence, you will succeed in the future!" Zhao Xing was very supportive.

"What does the ancient country mean, it has a long history and strong strength?" Yun Tiandao continued to ask.

"Well, any country that is called an ancient country is to distinguish it from short-lived dynasties and powerful countries." Zhao Xing said, "It must have existed for at least ten epochs, occupy at least one star system, and have more than one million life-world planets. Only when these two points are met can it be considered an ancient country."

Ji Che's eyes widened. Only then did he have some idea of ​​what Zhao Xing had just said.

To have one million Xuanhuang Realms is the minimum threshold for an ancient country? And in the Xuanling Star Region, it must be the weakest country!
"The road to entrepreneurship is long and arduous." Ji Che sighed in his heart, but such a broad stage strengthened his belief. "I must work hard to make Da Zhou an ancient country!"

"There are about a hundred ancient countries in the Xuanling Star Region," Zhao Xing said, "but there are countless dynasties. However, the dynasties with more than ten thousand in the boundary stars are considered to be relatively strong among the dynasties, but their foundation is not enough."

"Let's go back to what we said at the beginning. The [Red Star Empire], [Samsara Temple], [Ancient Hill], and [Origin Heavenly Palace] are all superpowers that span star regions. They are transcendent and have influence not only in the Xuanling Star Region, but also in other spiritual star regions."

"Of course, if we look at the Wild Territory Ancient Country Alliance as a whole, it can also be considered a super power that spans star regions."

"Wait a minute." Yun Tiandao asked in confusion: "Why is it called the Wilderness Ancient Country Alliance instead of the Ancient Country Alliance? Or maybe the Mysterious Spirit Ancient Country Alliance."

Zhao Xing said: "This involves the environment of the Xuanling Star Region."

"A long time ago, about thirty epochs ago, the Scarlet Star Empire, the Samsara Temple, the Ancient Hill, the Origin Heavenly Palace and other forces discovered that the Xuanling Star Region had become a 'desert region'."

"Due to the constant wars in the Xuanling Star Region, the situation has become more and more serious, so these superpowers have called these ancient countries the Ancient Countries in the Wilderness, and have spread a prophecy: in no more than 100 epochs, the Wilderness will spread throughout the territory, and in 1000 epochs, the entire Xuanling Star Region will no longer be suitable for the survival of any major country."

Ji Che suddenly realized: "In other words, a death notice has been issued to Xuanling Star Region?"

Zhao Xing nodded: "Yes, later the Wilderness Ancient Country Alliance was established, and began to devote some of its energy to the environmental issues of this star region."

"But this is a fight. It's not uncommon for people to besiege a city today after swearing a blood oath yesterday."

"Only when dealing with foreign races or invasions from other spiritual star regions will we temporarily stop fighting and unite to face the outside world."

Peace is impossible. Environmental issues? None of my business! The people under my dynasty can’t even get enough food to eat. They can only stay at home and can’t travel in the universe. Why should I care about what happens 1000 epochs later?

Zhao Xing had never heard of the ancient kingdom of Yuanhai in his previous life. He thought that the ancient kingdom of Yuanhai might have been destroyed in the war.

Of course, there is no need to tell Ji Che and the others about this for the time being. Let’s go out and find out what the situation is.

Hearing what Zhao Xing said, Yun Tiandao's brows were filled with deep worry.

It is so difficult for a weak star-level power to survive. How is the Great Xia Dynasty doing now after ascending an era ago? Will it be struggling in dire straits?

He was about to ask when he heard Zhao Xing speak again:

"Okay, that's all Qing Yuzi has to say. Let's talk about the realm of cultivation in the universe."

"Above the Ascension Realm is the Origin Realm."

"The origin stage is divided into three major realms."

"The first realm is the nascent realm." Zhao Xing said slowly, "To explain the mysteries of the origin realm, we need to talk about it from two perspectives."

"One is the magician who is good at magic, who values ​​magic, soul, and the path of magic that comprehends the mysteries of the universe."

"The second is a warrior who focuses on the physical body, develops the potential of the body, and constantly improves the upper limit of the physical body."

"Because at the stage of establishing the Dao, the paths of warriors and magic have already diverged greatly, and the promotion and power systems are also very different."

"For example, when a warrior establishes his Dao, his soul and body have merged. The body is the soul and the soul is the body. To kill a warrior, you only need to destroy his body to kill him completely."

"Correspondingly, when a warrior upgrades, his physical body upgrades, which means his realm upgrades."

"For the magic path, both the soul and the body need to be upgraded, but the conditions for upgrading the body are much easier. It only needs to be able to hold the spiritual energy of the corresponding realm."

Ji Che nodded: "I understand this. If the physical body is compared to a house, the warrior's house is more solid and reliable, and can withstand wind and rain."

"A wizard's house should only be habitable, not flashy or practical."

"That's right." Zhao Xing nodded. "Because mages often change houses, the focus is on the soul and the Taoism they comprehend, so it doesn't need to be so hard."

"The one who changes houses most frequently is the puppet master among the mechanical masters."

"Of course, no matter which path you take, it's essentially the use of the source of spiritual energy, but the methods of use are different and each has its own emphasis."

"The bodies of warriors at the Newborn Stage are as hard as those of Star Dao Soldiers. Even if they are Sword Sect warriors, they are incredibly hard." Zhao Xing said, "If they are Qi Sect warriors, it would be even more outrageous. Even if a magic practitioner attacks them a hundred times, the opponent may not be killed."

"But if a martial arts practitioner punches a magic practitioner, his body will explode and his soul will be captured."

"Either use it to refine weapons, or sell it for money."

"Sell it for money?" Yun Tiandao was stunned, "Can this be sold for money?"

"Of course." Zhao Xing said, "Soul-calling banners also exist in the universe. What's more, weapon refiners like the souls of the strong the most. Doesn't the sacrifice method have its shortcomings? There is no problem with sacrificing others."

"..."

Ji Che wondered, "Doesn't that mean that magic professions are at a disadvantage? If you make a mistake once, you're gone."

Zhao Xing shook his head: "On the contrary, the number of warriors is much greater than that of mages. You can't just choose the path of magic if you want to. It requires talent."

"Moreover, there are many ways to save one's life in the path of magic. Even if the body is destroyed, the soul is not so easy to be captured. Even if it is captured, in most cases it is just a split soul. It is relatively rare for the main soul to be captured."

"It is generally recognized in the universe that, under normal circumstances, the attack power of magic professions is greater than that of warrior professions, but in terms of survivability, warrior professions are better than magic professions."

"When trapped in a desperate situation, a warrior with a strong body can survive for a long time, but a magician can die easily."

"When resisting poison, disease, and disaster, a warrior's physical body also has advantages."

At this point, Zhao Xing concluded: "In the first realm of origin, the origin is born, the mage's dojo is further expanded, the casting distance and spell range are further increased, and from the inside out, the mysteries of the universe are comprehended."

"As the warrior's body becomes stronger, the dojo becomes smaller, but the body becomes larger. The vitality becomes stronger, and the ultimate goal is to compress the 'dojo' into the body. This is another fusion goal after the body is fused with the soul."

Yun Tiandao asked: "So what are the characteristics of the second level of origin?"

"The second realm of origin is called the Void Realm."

Zhao Xing moved the star map, revealing endless darkness.

"The environment in the universe is harsh. Whether it is the path of magic or the path of warriors, it is all for survival and to make oneself more adaptable to the environment in the universe."

"The nascent state is still very weak. The transformation through the spiritual energy source is not perfect. Either the spells are not strong enough, or the body is not strong enough. In short, it is still very difficult to survive in the void. You must rely on tools."

"If you dare to cross the starry sky alone, you will basically die."

"The universe is empty, filled with all kinds of disasters and unknowns."

“In the Origin Initial Stage, no matter if it is a mage or a warrior, if they encounter a 'Wind of Void', they may perish.”

"From an external perspective, the First Realm cannot resist the pressure from the void."

"From an internal perspective, during a long journey to a distant territory, a person in the first realm cannot go without food or drink. He still needs to replenish his spiritual energy and restore his physical strength."

"I said before that the universe is divided into the spiritual energy realm and the desert realm."

“In the first realm, even in the realm of spiritual energy, it is impossible to directly absorb the spiritual energy in the void, because the spiritual energy in the void is violent and chaotic, and even contains toxic substances.”

"The spiritual energy in a practitioner's body must be stable and docile."

"Don't even mention the Desolate Territory. There is no spiritual energy at all, and the oppression of the void and various disasters are even stronger."

Ji Che: "So, the second level of the origin, the void level, requires the ability to absorb the chaotic spiritual energy in the universe, and the magic or physical body must be able to withstand the oppression of the void and not be afraid of void turbulence or accidents?"

"Not rigorous enough." Yun Tiandao added: "We need to exclude the Desolate Realm. In the Desolate Realm, even the Second Realm cannot survive and needs to rely on tools."

"Yes." Zhao Xing concluded: "The second realm, the origin of the void, Taoist practitioners have initially mastered the origin of the void spirit and can resist the oppression of the void."

"I am in the dojo, I can fly in the void, and I can also absorb the chaotic spiritual energy in the void."

"As the warrior's body further grows larger and stronger, it can store a lot of spiritual energy. The body is comparable to a mid-grade or even high-grade star-level Taoist soldier, and can also absorb chaotic spiritual energy."

"It's just that the flying speed under pressure is much slower than that in the boundary star and the small world."

"Even if the second level can do it, it won't be so stupid that it will still use tools to fly."

"Of course, theoretically speaking, as long as you are not afraid of dying in an accident, you can indeed survive in the void."

"So the second realm is named the Void Realm."

"What about the strong ones in the third realm?" The one who asked the question was Yun Tiandao.

"The third realm is the realm of divine power," Zhao Xing said. "At this point, whether it is the path of magic or the path of warrior, one has already comprehended the origin of spiritual energy very thoroughly."

"Whether it's the docile and orderly spiritual energy in the world stars, small worlds, and star continents, or the chaotic, violent, and poisonous spiritual energy in the void and dangerous places, I have fully understood them all."

"The deeper your control, the more profound your use."

"The magic powers of the magic profession, such as 'Eight Eras of Purple Light', can make a barren planet briefly revitalized and become a temporary survival supply point. This is turning decay into magic."

"The martial arts profession's physical magical power, such as the Yuanhai Ancient Country's famous martial arts magical power, 'Great Sun Divine Travel', can walk on the sun star and hide on the sun star. The magic profession can only watch helplessly."

Ji Che and Yun Tiandao were full of doubts: "Wait, the third realm is the only realm that can master magical powers, but my elder brother, I and Mr. Yun have all mastered magical powers, what's going on?"

Zhao Xing smiled and said, "First, because the three of us are the most powerful in this world, and our talents far exceed those of ordinary people."

“Second, the environment is different.”

"We are in the Xuanhuang Realm, performing it with a stable and gentle spiritual energy."

"The magical power I just mentioned refers to performing it in the void."

"It's rare to hit the target every time you shoot an arrow in a windless environment, but it takes real skill to still hit the target in a storm."

"Besides, magical powers come in different sizes, and we have only mastered minor magical powers."

"In the third realm, ordinary people can display minor magical powers, and geniuses can display major magical powers. This standard of judgment is based on the void environment."

Ji Che joked: "In this case, even if we are caught, we won't be reduced to mining."

"It is rare to master minor magical powers in the Ascension Realm, basically in a stable spiritual energy source environment."

Zhao Xing also laughed.

It is true that they don't go mining, unless the people who catch them are fools, otherwise they can sell them for a good price.

Yun Tiandao sighed: "I never thought there are so many mountains in the universe."

Ji Che was concerned about the other key points: "Then the third realm should be the strong ones in the ancient country, right?"

"Strong?" Zhao Xing shook his head: "Although the third realm can cross the physical body and has strong combat power, it is still not considered a strong person in the ancient country, but only an elite."

"Of course, if placed in a dynasty, then he can be considered a strong man, and can establish his own dynasty. If there are more third-level people, he may be able to gain a foothold."

Ji Che asked curiously: "What does it take to be considered a truly strong person?"

"Daoyu Realm!" Zhao Xing said, "Only when you reach the Daoyu Realm can you be considered a strong person in the ancient country."

"What is the Dao Realm?"

"On the path of magic, the dojo will be greatly improved at this level. The scope of the dojo can at least cover a galaxy, or even wider."

"The warrior's path, his power can easily move the sun and the moon, and carry them through the void."

Ji Che and Yun Tiandao's breath was held.

The dojo covers an entire galaxy? Wouldn't that affect billions of stars?
Move the sun and the moon?
It’s unimaginable!
"Once you reach the Dao Realm, you will be a guest of honor in any ancient country!" Zhao Xing said, "Because the Dao Realm can resist the spread of the Desolate Realm in the Star Domain."

"Especially for the path of magic. If a certain border is guarded by a Dao Realm, then the phenomenon of desolation will be greatly delayed, or even completely stopped."

“If the warriors’ paths are not so good, they can only move the Moon and the Sun and place them at the border to form a life belt,” Zhao Xing explained.

"The path of a warrior, isn't this equivalent to planting trees?" Yun Tiandao made an imaginary metaphor.

“Hahaha, you can think so.” Zhao Xing laughed, “With a huge body, he sucked in spiritual energy fiercely, and then exhaled it into a galaxy, moving the moon and the sun. Compared with the path of magic, the path of a warrior is so difficult.”

"So I just said that the path of magic requires more talent, and not everyone can take it." "In the same Dao Realm, in the various ancient countries in the Xuanling Star Region, the magic profession is more favored."

Ji Che imagined the spectacular scene and couldn't help but feel excited: "It's really invincible."

"Invincible? That's not invincible." Zhao Xing shook his head. "Above the Dao Realm, there is the Samsara Realm."

"Anything else?" Ji Che was stunned.

"In the Dao Realm, if you haven't understood the great Dao of Yin and Yang, your life span is limited." Zhao Xing said. "You can't be resurrected after you die, and you can't revive others either."

"Only in the Samsara Realm can one be resurrected after death, and also possess the ability to resurrect others."

"Of course, the Samsara Realm is very rare."

"The Samsara Temple will keep an eye on these Samsara realms and prohibit them from reviving others at will, and also prohibit them from reviving themselves through certain rituals."

Ji Che muttered to himself: "Even those in the Samsara Realm are not free, and even those who have transcended life and death are still being watched by the Samsara Temple, a powerful force that transcends the world..."

Yun Tiandao also sighed: "Now I understand how big the universe is."

After listening to what Zhao Xing said, both of them felt how insignificant they were.

"Brother, what is the realm above the realm of reincarnation?" Ji Che asked.

"God." Zhao Xing pondered. "This realm is the realm in the legend. Qing Yuzi's master once told him that above the Samsara Realm, there is a God who looks down on all living things and watches the reincarnation of all living things."

"As for what abilities gods have and how to cultivate, I have no idea."

"Break out of the cycle of reincarnation and look down on all living beings?" Yun Tiandao and Ji Che had no reaction to this.

Because it is too far away, I don’t have any expectations.

Is there anything above God?
Mr. Zhao was sure that there were more, but he couldn't remember them clearly. Because in his previous life, he failed to reach the divine realm, and his memory of that period was very vague. The prophet only reached this point, but he vaguely felt that the divine realm was not the end.

"The path to advancement is now clear." Zhao Xing said: "Origin Birth Realm, Origin Void Realm, Origin Divine Power Realm, Dao Realm, Samsara Realm, and the legendary God Realm."

"World-level forces, big and small dynasty forces, ancient country forces, and large forces across star regions."

"Starry Sky Soldiers, Realm Star Soldiers, Taiyin Dao Soldiers, Sun Dao Soldiers, Origin Divine Soldiers."

“Che, after we arrive at the human area, we will inevitably come into contact with external forces.”

"I plan to spread the knowledge taught by Qing Yuzi to the important officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, because they will have to come into contact with the outside world sooner or later."

Ji Che said: "Brother, you said that the universe is dark and cruel. Should we be more cautious when we come into contact with the outside world?"

"Of course we have to be cautious, so the first step is to popularize common sense in the universe. We can't let people know that we are a dynasty that has just ascended." Zhao Xing stretched out a finger.

"Because the dynasty that has just ascended is the best target for plunder!"

"Think about it, how many Star Dao Soldiers do we have now? We even have a few Realm Soldiers. This is very tempting for the Third Realm."

“Even some realm soldiers are wanted by Dao Realm.”

"We are like a child holding a pile of gold, parading through the streets of the universe. We have no ability to protect ourselves, so we must hide ahead and stay alive!"

"If we spread common sense and make people think that we are not bumpkins, but senior cosmic practitioners, or descendants of some powerful forces, then we can reduce the risk of being robbed."

The reason why Zhao Xing chose this route to come to the ancient country of Yuanhai was that the Zishen Mansion of the ancient country of Yuanhai was Qing Yuzi's base. Having this route could reduce some risks.

In the previous life, when the players took the treasures of the Xuanhuang Realm out, they had a tragic experience. As soon as they left the wilderness, they were robbed of all the treasures.

"The second step is to sell the treasures we have and exchange them for our own strength." Zhao Xing stretched out his second finger: "Boundary Soldiers are not easy to sell. We are just in the Ascension Realm and it is very risky to sell boundary soldiers. But Star Dao Soldiers can be sold, and spiritual energy substances can be sold, such as spiritual liquid and spiritual crystal. These are hard currencies and can be exchanged for the currency issued by a certain ancient country. Wherever we plan to live, we can exchange some of the local currency."

"The third step is that when the time is right, it must be said that someone has reached the third realm. Then we can choose a relatively powerful and peaceful force to take root in the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"In the early stage, we can just buy a boundary star. Of course, this must be done as soon as possible, because our boundary ship cannot continue to circulate forever. At the latest, after three thousand years, we must vacate all the residents."

"In addition, the specialties of Xuanhuang Realm must also be moved away, otherwise many things will automatically downgrade due to the imperfection of the origin of the Realm Boat, just like food will get moldy and weapons will get rusty if left for a long time."

Ji Che nodded frequently, and Yun Tiandao listened quietly, because what Zhao Xing was talking about was the way of survival for a dynasty that had just ascended to the throne.

He felt that these were useful and might be able to help the Xia Dynasty in the future.

"The fourth step is that when we migrate out, we will definitely face challenges, and we must be fully prepared at that time."

"No matter how big the Xuanling Star Region is, after countless years, it is overcrowded. There are too few suitable places, and we must fight for them."

"fifth……"

……

On the day when the Xuanhuang Realm "exploded", Zhao Xing talked a lot with Ji Che and Yun Tiandao.

There is no other way. It is too difficult to survive in the universe. The Xuanhuang Realm has fished out so many treasures, but there are no strong people to guard them. At this time, as long as a slightly stronger Origin Realm comes, he can sweep across the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The local forces are too unruly and impolite. If you show any sign of weakness, they will pick up weapons and attack you.

What kind of trouble could come from killing an ascending force that has no roots at all?
But the profits are huge. As we all know, the newly ascended dynasties are the fattest! Robbing them is a very profitable business!

If Zhao Xing had not mentioned it, the Great Zhou would have surely fallen into many traps and even gone to destruction.

This is the reason why most of the dynasties that ascended to heaven in the Xuanhuang Realm perished.

Of course, Mr. Zhao is not only doing this for Da Zhou. He also hopes that Da Zhou can provide him with blood in the early stage. After all, it is not easy to make money in the universe version.

It is not his turn to do legal things, and he does not have the ability to do illegal things. At this time, it is not the node of his ascension in his previous life, nor is it an area he is familiar with. He has never heard of the ancient country of Yuanhai!

Therefore, Da Zhou is the foundation of his early development, and he must protect it.

"Che, that's all for today." Zhao Xing stopped talking. "I think these things will be enough for the next five hundred years."

"Okay, I understand." Ji Che nodded. He had already seen Yun Tiandao's impatient eyes. The fact that he could endure for so long without asking was all because Old Yun had good self-cultivation and patience.

Now that he knew the cruelty of the universe and witnessed the explosion of the Xuanhuang Realm with his own eyes, he naturally wanted to know the situation of the Xia Dynasty immediately.

"I'll go first, you guys chat." Ji Che left the Temple of Heaven Square, leaving only Yun Tiandao and Zhao Xing.

"Brother Yun, if you have any questions, just ask them." Zhao Xing said. "I will keep my promise and tell you everything I know."

After waiting for a while, Yun Tiandao said nothing.

After learning so much, he was a little afraid to ask, fearing that he would get a bad answer.

Finally, Yun Tiandao sighed: "What is coming will come. Zhao Xing, tell me first, is the Xia Dynasty destroyed or alive?"

"Alive." Zhao Xing nodded: "But the situation is very difficult."

"How difficult is it? Emperor Xia, my relatives, are they still alive?" Yun Tiandao stared at Zhao Xing.

"You just said that the third level of the origin can only live for three eras (3.6 million years) at most through deep sleep, life extension, and various other methods. I have been in the Xuanhuang Realm for 1.128 million years. Even if you say that Emperor Xia is gone, I can accept it, but you must not lie to me and give me hope."

Zhao Xing nodded. The limits of the first to third levels of the origin (including sleeping in various life-extending treasures) are 1.2 million to 3.6 million years respectively.

The reason why Lao Yun can live for 1,128,000 years is actually because the special treasure, the House of Epoch, is powerful, not because he himself can live that long.

"Emperor Xia is still alive."

"Your wife, Fairy Neon Wind, is still alive."

Yun Tiandao's eyes lit up. His emperor was still alive, and his wife was still alive. This was undoubtedly good news.

"But the rest are dead."

"Including your master, fellow disciples, and the important officials of the Xia Dynasty, there are only a few friends left alive, about two or three, but they are all far away."

Yun Tiandao's heart trembled: "Why, what happened?"

Zhao Xing sighed and said, "At this time in the Xia Dynasty, all the subjects were kept captive by a demon king of the Cang Yue Demon Country."

Yun Tiandao's expression was calm, but there was still a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Zhao Xing also felt a little reluctant. In the plot of his previous life, Yun Tiandao played the role of a 'guide'. Of course, he didn't know much, but at least he was more experienced than the people in Xuanhuang Realm.

On his way to the starry sky, he taught many people and imparted his unique skills to the ascended players without reservation.

I don’t know if it was fate, but the cruelty of the universe was reflected through the Xia Dynasty where Yun Tiandao was. In the later plot, Yun Tiandao searched hard for Xia Chao's trace and finally found the emperor he was loyal to. However, he discovered that Xia Chao had suffered a lot, and Emperor Xia and his wife no longer remembered him.

Zhao Xing said in a deep voice: "After the Xia Dynasty ascended, it encountered the evil forces in the star field, and all the treasures were looted."

"Although we managed to escape, some of our important officials died or were injured. What's worse is that the original plunderers spread the news that the Xia Dynasty was a newly ascended dynasty, causing many bandits to search for this piece of fat meat."

"So in the first 100,000 years, the Xia Dynasty was either on the run or on the way to escape."

"Because all my wealth was plundered and I was injured in the fierce battle, my cultivation speed has been greatly reduced. I can only sleep and cultivate, and keep hiding."

"It was in such a harsh environment that the Xia Dynasty did not produce its first Origin Initial Stage until 100,000 years later. The first Origin Stage person was none other than your wife, Fairy Nifeng, Brother Yun."

Yun Tiandao couldn't help but clench his fists. He could fully imagine what kind of hardships his family and country had suffered.

"In the Origin Initial Stage, it is difficult for them to even protect themselves. Even after a breakthrough, they cannot solve the current predicament. The territory they are in is a chaotic and disorderly area."

"So the Xia Dynasty could only hide in some backward world stars and star continents, and only a small number of strong people went out to explore."

"Fortunately, in the second 100,000 years, the Xia Dynasty recovered some of its vitality, and the number of people in the Origin Primary Stage reached over a hundred."

"Emperor Xia and your wife have also broken through to the second level of origin."

"The Xia Dynasty was still very weak at this time," Zhao Xing said. "They moved to a Yuanku star system under the [Flan Dynasty], planning to develop here for a while before heading to the [Xingyao Ancient Country] next door."

"However, it is not that easy to settle in an ancient country. Every ancient country strictly controls foreign races and population."

"It's easy for the Origin Realm to become a resident of the Ancient Country, but it's not possible to lead others. Since 200,000 years have passed, the best period for cultivation has passed. In the eyes of the ancient country's major forces, the Origin Realm of the Xia Dynasty is just mediocre."

"After all, it took 200,000 years to reach the second level of origin, so the aptitude is very average."

"The third 100,000 years was the 100,000 years that the Xia Dynasty made money and accumulated wealth."

"The Yuanku Galaxy is a little more stable than all the previous places. The Fran Dynasty is considered a large dynasty, with forty-five third-level people, over ten thousand second-level people, and over ten thousand boundary stars."

"But just when things started to improve, the Fran Dynasty encountered a war."

"Not long after, the Fran Dynasty was destroyed by another great dynasty, the At Dynasty. All the strong men died, some escaped, and some were captured. The subjects became slaves, and the territory was annexed."

"The Xia Dynasty's strong men were called up in the war, and their Origin Realm was reduced to single digits. Even Emperor Xia and Fairy Neon Wind were injured and fell back to the First Realm."

Zhao Xing sighed, "It took 300,000 years to escape and fight. After that war, everything had to start from scratch."

"The Xia Dynasty was considered part of the Fran Dynasty and was hunted down by the At Dynasty."

Hearing this, Yun Tiandao’s heart sank to the bottom.

After finally developing and seeing hope, an unexpected event occurred.

"The previous pursuits by space pirates were just small fights. The At Dynasty is so powerful that it is difficult to hide."

"This time, in order to escape, Xia Chao paid a huge price and had to hide in the outskirts of the wilderness."

"For a full two hundred thousand years, the Xia Dynasty could only survive in the wilderness."

Again, the action is too weak.

There was no way that the Xia Dynasty could escape from one galaxy to another all at once.

The Xia Dynasty at this time was like the villagers who left their homes during the war, hiding in the mountains and forests and becoming barbarians.

"In the past 200,000 years, the Xia Dynasty also came out. In the first 50,000 years, the At Dynasty stopped hunting and announced that it could accept the subjects of the Faran Dynasty."

"However, not long after it came out, the At Dynasty itself declined. In less than ten thousand years, it split into sixteen different forces."

"After that, there was a long period of chaos. During these 200,000 years, the Xia Dynasty went in and out, hiding."

"Emperor Xia and Fairy Neon Wind have returned to the second level of origin, and the number of people in the first level has gradually increased."

"Finally, the Xia Dynasty decided to carry out another large-scale migration, that is, to migrate across the galaxy and completely leave this war-torn area, because there is no hope that the war will stop if they stay here."

"Xia Chao intends to sneak into the [Red Star Empire], which is a risky move." Zhao Xing recalled, "Because it requires passing through a chaotic battlefield, the sphere of influence hostile to the human race, and the desolate area."

"It was this adventure that put the Xia Dynasty in complete danger."

"When Xia Chao passed through the territory of the Cangyue Demon Country, his boundary boat was captured by a third-level powerful demon."

"After that, Xia Chao was kept in captivity in the Cangyue Demon Country."

"Human practitioners can do things that demon practitioners cannot, such as farming and cultivating luck."

"The demon cultivators take pride in capturing human slaves. Whoever has more slaves has higher status, just like humans raising demon pets."

"The Xia Dynasty has been in captivity for nearly 600,000 years."

"The powerful demon from the third realm has been promoted to the Dao Realm."

"The Xia Dynasty has completely become a slave state of the demon race."

"During this period, many important officials of the Xia Dynasty were sold out and have completely forgotten their identities."

Yun Tiandao's eyes were red, and his breathing became rapid: "You mean, Emperor Xia and my wife have completely forgotten me, and they have become aliens?"

“No.” Zhao Xing shook his head and said, “Emperor Xia and Fairy Nifeng have both reached the third realm. They have not been transformed into monsters. After all, they have maintained the image of an orthodox human race so that they can be shown off by that monster race expert.”

"It's just that they have been brainwashed by the powerful demons and have indeed forgotten everything that happened in the past. They now think that they are part of the Cang Yue Demon Nation."

What Zhao Xing said were all what he learned when he was doing the Yuntiandao mission in his previous life. The plot he is talking about now is basically the same. This is roughly the outline of the Xia Dynasty over the past million years.

After hearing this, Yun Tiandao fell into complete silence.

The enemies in the Dao Realm are still within the sphere of hostile forces of the human race. The situation of the Xia Dynasty is simply despairing.

Zhao Xing said: "Brother Yun, I asked you to come out early because the Cangyue Demon Country will go to war with the Daoxuan Ancient Country. If you rush there more than 2,000 years later, the great demon will die in the war, and Emperor Xia and Fairy Nifeng will also die."

"But you came more than two thousand years earlier, so everything is still in time!"

Yun Tiandao laughed bitterly and said, "Two thousand years, I have reached the Dao Realm. Even if I think highly of myself, I dare not have such confidence. Moreover, is reaching the Dao Realm really enough for me to go to the Demon Country and save them?"

"I definitely can!" Zhao Xing held Yun Tiandao's hand: "You have to believe me."

"Leave me alone for a while." Yun Tiandao withdrew his hand and disappeared in the Temple of Heaven Square.

Looking at Yun Tiandao's disappearing back, Zhao Xing didn't know what to say. He kept his promise and told Yun Tiandao everything, but he didn't know if it would change Yun Tiandao's trajectory.

"Yun Tiandao shouldn't be in despair and unable to recover, right?"

"I don't know whether it is right or wrong." Zhao Xing shook his head and returned to his residence.

…………

A month passed before Zhao Xing saw Yun Tiandao again.

At this time, Zhao Xing was popularizing knowledge in the hall.

The popularization has been going on for many days, but this is the first time that Yun Tiandao has come to attend the meeting.

Looking at him, he had returned to his normal state, as if nothing had happened.

"Grand Minister, I have a question!"

Suddenly, someone's question attracted Zhao Xing's attention back.

"General Ye, do you have any questions?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, you just said that the path of a warrior, to break through the origin realm, is to compress the dojo back into the body." Ye Yukong scratched his head and said, "But my warriors are divided into Qi and Sword. The Qi Sect is fine, but the Sword Sect's dojo has grown larger. Does it have to be compressed back as well? And merge them. Doesn't that mean that the Qi Sect is the only choice for martial arts breakthroughs in the universe?"

Ye Yukong's question caused many Sword Sect warriors to discuss it. Ye Yukong's confusion was also their confusion.

For example, Long Xiao is also from the Sword Sect. His sword-controlling skills are all for long-distance flying. After breaking through the Dao-establishing realm, he expanded his dojo as much as possible, making his sword-controlling speed very fast and more powerful.

If I were to take it back, wouldn't that conflict with my current direction of cultivation?

Does this mean that in this cosmic version, the Sword Sect has declined?

Zhao Xing said: "The martial arts path in the universe is indeed popular with the Qi Sect."

"However, this is not because the Sword Sect is not strong enough, but because this path is too strong. The top forces have strictly controlled the secret methods, and the methods that can be purchased are basically some insignificant ones."

“As far as I know, the Sword Sect does not need to compress the Dojo into the body, but compresses it into the innate divine weapon.”

"Of course, I only explained the essence. There is no relevant method of cultivation. Don't practice blindly... Long Xiao, stop it!"

"Uh, please forgive me, Grand Minister of Agriculture." Long Xiao cupped his hands awkwardly, because as soon as Zhao Xing said that, he started to try, but he didn't expect that Zhao Xing saw through him at a glance.

"Your enlightenment in the world boat is incomplete, and the Tao in the wilderness is also obscure and incomplete. You can only hone your martial arts and spells, but not understand the Tao." Zhao Xing warned. "You can't practice on your own, otherwise it's easy to go astray."

Of course, the inner world of the Jiezhou cannot provide a place for the strong to practice, otherwise why would Xia Chao hide for so many years and always want to live in a spiritual star field? It is because the wilderness cannot allow people to continue to practice.

Those who have reached the realm of establishing the Dao can only continue to cultivate after leaving the wilderness and finding a spiritual territory. Otherwise, they can only be like Yun Tiandao, where their magic skills continue to improve but their Dao realm is stuck.

"Did you hear what the Minister of Agriculture said?!" Ji Che shouted, "Remember, this is a prohibition."

"Yes." Everyone responded and said they had taken note of it.

After the sermon, Zhao Xing held a small meeting with Ji Che and other heads of the six ministries.

“Your Majesty, there is no need for too many strong people to wake up in the Xuanhuang Realm Boat now. I think we can let some people enter the realm of sleep and spend this long journey through the starry sky.” Zhao Xing suggested.

"The Grand Minister of Agriculture has a point." Ji Che nodded. Since the Dao cannot be improved, if too many strong people are awake, it will waste spiritual energy. Even if they just practice the Dharma, there may not be much progress in five hundred years.

"Everyone, please draw up a rule. Every hundred years, the heads and subordinates of the six ministries will take turns waking up and sleeping." Ji Che said. "Officials who are not required to stay here permanently will start sleeping for five hundred years."

"Yes."

The Sixth Department was very efficient and came up with a specific implementation plan within seven days.

It was announced at the court meeting, but it was mainly aimed at super-rank ministers. As for other officials, there were no restrictions and they could not consume much.

After the meeting, Zhao Xing bowed to everyone after announcing the charter.

"Everyone, see you in five hundred years."
