Chapter 2138: Chapter 19: Xuan Huang’s Path of Seeds, All Secrets Unveiled (14,000)

The Heaven Leisure Ancient Country borders the previous Yuanhai Ancient Country, and as one of the ancient countries, its territory contains an entrance to the Reincarnation Temple.

The Reincarnation Temple can be said to be within the territory of the Heaven Leisure Ancient Country, but not entirely, as the temple only has an entrance and exit in the Heaven Leisure Ancient Country while it itself resides in the Dao Ancient Layer.

The Reincarnation Temple is surrounded by the chaotic flows and numerous cracks of the void hundred zhang. The most convenient way to enter the Reincarnation Temple is in the Heaven Leisure Ancient Country.

"Guluo River asked me to meet in Heaven Leisure Ancient Country. Could it be to go to the Reincarnation Temple?" Zhao Xing speculated in his heart.

He felt a bit uneasy about going to the Reincarnation Temple because Qing Yu Zi had secretly given him the core secret technique of the temple, "Reincarnation."

But then, Zhao Xing straightened his back with a new thought: "No, why am I afraid?"

"It’s different now. I am already a demigod, no longer a minor character to be manipulated as before."

"What’s wrong with learning a broken secret technique? It was Qing Yu Zi’s own choice to give it to me. Blame Old Qing if you must!"

"All rules originate from strength."

"In the past, I had to spend money and network just to learn a small divine power because I was weak. Now, not raiding a foundation is considered my benevolence!"

"Push me too hard, and I’ll unleash the Spirit-devouring Grass in the Heaven Leisure Ancient Country, triggering another Lixing River Change."

"And open the Seven-Star Chest, then no one will live!"

With these thoughts, Zhao Xing felt less intimidated by the enormous entity that was the Reincarnation Temple.

He opened the Star Mirror, quickly absorbing information to find out how long he had disappeared.

"Nearly two thousand years have passed in the Xuanling Star Domain? Doesn’t that mean the Third Epoch of the Desolate Domain is approaching?"

It was the last Solar Year of the Wilderness 2 Epoch, with only 35 Boundary Star Years left until the Desolate Third Epoch.

"When I took over the Ancient Star Path, it was the 1197th Solar Year of the Wilderness 2 Epoch, and there were still 2585 Boundary Star Years remaining until the Desolate Third Epoch."

"Excavating the ancient road, holding a Dharma Assembly, discovering cave relics, and then exiting the Bai Han Realm relics... all of this took just over five hundred years."

"I spent a total of ninety-eight years in the time-space replica of the Xuanhuang Realm."

"Ninety-eight years inside the time-space replica, while two thousand years passed outside."

"The time discrepancy is roughly twentyfold."

After confirming the time, Zhao Xing immediately began examining the major events in the Xuanling Star Domain.

First was the empire’s development of the Si Yue Desolate Domain on the northwest star position, with three top-level ancient roads already opened.

These included the Sea Passage, Tongming Ancient Road, and Ancient Star Path.

Yes, the Ancient Star Path had already been elevated to a top-level ancient road.

It was dug through five hundred years ago, but by then, the ownership of the Ancient Star Path had been reclaimed by the empire and was no longer in the hands of the Da Zhou Chamber of Commerce. Although the selling price wasn’t mentioned, Zhao Xing estimated that everyone who had invested back then received a substantial dividend.

Because he looked through the Star Fire network and found that many of his friends had made substantial advances in their realms.

"Yang Baihe, the Eight Tribulation Emperor, has become the second-in-command of Star Fire. He’s also serving as Da Zhou’s Guest Elder, Honorary Dean of Shangluo, Honorary Dean of Xuantian, Honorary Dean of Kunyuan, King of Support... whoa, how does he have so many titles in Da Zhou?"

Just then, flames burst forth in Zhao Xing’s Star Mirror, and a figure appeared in front of Zhao Xing, none other than Yang Baihe.

"Zhao Xing, why are you checking on me? Eh? You’re the living Zhao Xing! Damn, you finally appeared!" Yang Baihe seemed very excited. He rubbed his hands, full of joy.

"Captain, what do you mean I’m the living one? Am I supposed to be the dead one?" Zhao Xing chuckled.

While his main self was away, the four Taichu Avatars he left maintained their independence and continued existing in the Xuanling Star Domain, so to them, he should never have been away.

"How could it be the same?" Yang Baihe’s tone rose, "The avatar you left to manage the Ancient Star Path went into a meditation and secluded retreat after the path was almost opened a millennium ago."

"The avatars at the Ancient Hill and the Primordial Realm only know how to cultivate, completely ignoring people."

"Isn’t there another avatar?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Are you talking about the wandering avatar?" Yang Baihe pouted, "That one’s a bit lively, occasionally communicating, but ever since it left the Four Seasons Palace twelve hundred years ago and departed the Xuanling Star Domain, it has been untraceable, with its last known location in the Black Sky Wilderness."

Zhao Xing closed his eyes, sensing, then nodded.

He was aware of the aftereffects of the Taichu Avatars, which is why Zhao Xing had set clear rules when he created them.

With the powerful Spiritual Will of his main self, he kept the thoughts of the four avatars pure and untainted.

How was this achieved? Zhao Xing’s method was—absolute focus.

This meant that the main self used his superior Spiritual Will and Soul Power to impose a restriction similar to an ’Enlightenment Golden Ring’ on the avatars.

Apart from the initially set goals, they would ignore everything else.

Those cultivating would solely focus on cultivation, those handling ancient streets’ development would concentrate solely on development, and the avatars wandering, seeking Heavenly Time Sect spells, and pursuing the Heavenly Time Dao would exclusively focus on their wandering studies.

Initially, due to the presence of the Taichu Avatar managing daily affairs on the Ancient Star Path, Zhao Xing’s relatives and friends noticed no peculiarities.

It wasn’t until later, when the Ancient Star Path was opened, and the development rights sold to the empire, that the difference became apparent.

"Ji Si was the first to notice your main self’s disappearance. He entrusted me to keep an eye on your avatars and commissioned me to investigate your main self’s whereabouts," Yang Baihe recounted.
