Chapter 2139: Chapter 19: Xuan Huang Sowing the Dao, All Secrets Revealed

"But over the years, I could only monitor the movements of your avatars; I haven’t seen even a trace of your true self."

"A thousand years ago, your traveling study avatar also disappeared."

"Zhao Xing, where exactly did you go?" Yang Baihe kept mumbling.

"Don’t ask me yet; let me familiarize myself with the situation first." Zhao Xing closed his eyes.

"Teleportation!"

He used the Taichu Grassman Skill’s teleportation.

"Buzz~"

Space vibrated, twisting like a river, and then two avatars appeared in front of Zhao Xing.

One was the ’Ancient Star Avatar,’ in charge of affairs on the Ancient Star Path, falling into slumber once its task was complete.

The other had been in the Primordial Realm and immediately responded upon being summoned.

The avatar from the Ancient Hill did not arrive immediately but sent a feedback of intention. It was in the crucial moment of cultivating a spell, so Zhao Xing decided to leave it be instead of interrupting.

The traveling study avatar did not appear either. In Zhao Xing’s perception, it was too far away, with only a vague sense, and indeed it resided in the Black Sky Wilderness. Teleportation was ineffective.

"Merge!"

Zhao Xing extended his hand, absorbing the split souls of the two avatars into his Fate Palace, the cultivation memories, daily memories, insights, were all merged instantly.

Since these two split souls were both weaker than the true self, everything was completed in an instant.

Thus, Zhao Xing’s split souls were only left with the traveling study avatar and Earth Advantage Avatar to return.

After absorbing the memories, there were still many unknowns, as the Primordial Realm avatar was in seclusion for cultivation, and the Ancient Star Avatar had slept for many years.

Thus, Zhao Xing conversed with Yang Baihe again, mainly about the events after the Ancient Star Path was sold.

"After Sea Passage first broke through to the Si Yue Desolate Domain, we encountered another Spiritual Energy Star Domain—the Heavenly Moisture Star Domain, where many ancient forces existed, and thus sparked quite a large-scale war that lasted about three hundred years."

"Subsequently, Tongming Ancient Road and Ancient Star Path were consecutively breached, with the other ends were also different territories of the Heavenly Moisture Star Domain, facing the pressure of war."

"And you mentioned that once breached, it’s best to proactively return the development rights to the Empire. So, the development and control rights of the Ancient Star Path were entirely handed back to the Empire for recovery, then managed by the Martial God Temple."

"It was an enormous profit!" Even after a thousand years, Yang Baihe still gazed infinitely in recollection.

"Everyone who joined in with you back then received more than ten thousand-fold returns."

"This path also created a batch of new Empire aristocracy, myself included, of course. Your brother is now the Eight Tribulation Emperor, not a Demigod yet, but definitely the second in command of Star Fire!"

Zhao Xing nodded, indeed, the profits of the Ancient Star Path were substantial, as it was one of the top ancient paths connecting to another Star Realm, shortest in duration, selling it to the Empire even though at a discount, still an inconceivable fortune.

Yang Baihe was Lord-level at the time, and with these vast riches, he ascended to Emperor level, having channels, wealth, and unless his talent was terribly poor, tribulation crossing would naturally become easier.

"Not only myself: Tuoson, Xu Youling, Daoist Miao Song, Yuan Qiusheng, Du Yun, Gu Ming... all these people made significant progress."

"I won’t say more. You can simply use the Cause and Effect Line to sense." Yang Baihe chuckled.

Zhao Xing led them to fortune; such enormous yield facilitated a huge leap in their power and status, the cause and effect relationship here was naturally strong.

"Seems everyone has profited nicely." Zhao Xing smiled. He practiced "Reincarnation," normally restraining the Cause and Effect Line.

At this moment, a slight sense revealed the other end of his Cause and Effect Line connected to many powerful beings, the weakest of which were above the Four Tribulation Emperor! Their number exceeded a hundred.

But there were fewer Demigods, only five.

The ninth True Spirit Tribulation in the Desolate Domain Era needed to be passed; money alone wasn’t omnipotent. If one’s talent and comprehension fell short, certain Tribulation Treasure would require queuing.

Zhao Xing mainly sensed these five, deepening the blurred Cause and Effect Line, they immediately sensed it, as it was a benevolent Cause and Effect Line—bright and friendly rather than obscure hostility—therefore without resistance, the figures became clear.

Among them was the Five Poison Emperor, now should be called Five Poison Venerable.

"Disciple?" Upon establishing Cause and Effect conversation, the Five Poison’s voice carried delight.

"Master, it’s me." Zhao Xing greeted remotely.

"Damn, where’d you go, kid? No sight for over two thousand years? Ji Si said your true self was missing, in danger, nearly drove me mad with worry," after the joy, followed by a slew of scolding.

Zhao Xing’s mouth twitched; indeed, still the familiar taste. Even though Five Poison Teacher became a Demigod, his temper and personality remained unchanged, rather growing increasingly arrogant due to skyrocketing power.

"... Let me tell you, little Zuo can’t beat me now. You can visit the Primordial Realm anytime. Someday, I’ll take you to his Taixu City, see if he dares touch you."

"Oh, you’re asking about Hongshan? That guy broke through too, decent but sloppy, now an Eleventh Rank Venerable, still one rank beneath your teacher, must bow when seeing me."
