Chapter 2149: Chapter 1: Lord of Cold Food, Unraveling Past Mysteries

Zhao Xing decided to confess something: "Senior, my hometown is not broken, because I can still contact my old friends there."

Guluo River seemed satisfied with Zhao Xing’s answer: "I never said the Xuanhuang Realm was broken. Just because it’s hard to find doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist."

"If it’s truly like Bo Wei said, with Extreme Land as its foundation, overlooking Extreme Stars, and it’s the Five Emperors Sealing Land, then even when the Five Emperors Era ends, and the Desolate Domain affects it, such a Holy Land shouldn’t completely disappear."

Zhao Xing breathed a sigh of relief, thankful for his honesty. However, he never intended to hide it, as Ji Si had contacted Wang Tianzhi multiple times, and the Heavenly Master Mansion might have noticed.

He planned to stand with the Main God Camp of Heaven and Earth Dao; hiding things was not beneficial.

Previously, he brought back the Void Ancestor Secret Skill and passed a test; now it seemed like the second time.

"Senior, then why is my hometown untraceable?" Zhao Xing was puzzled.

"I’m not sure either, I can only guess that it’s sealed by the Reincarnation Temple," said Guluo River.

Zhao Xing recalled Wang Tianzhi’s description in one instance of [Xuanhuang Past].

After Emperor Wu Ji Che ascended, he passed the title of Human Emperor of Great Zhou to Ji Chen.

Before the Xuanhuang Realm turned into the ’New Xuanhuang Realm’ and kept expanding, the Establishing Tao Realm’s ascension barrier still limited the Human Emperor’s lifespan to no more than a thousand years.

Ji Chen died, passing the title to Ji Ze, who then died.

Wang Tianzhi said: [After three generations, the current Central Earth Great Zhou, now has Emperor Ji Hong.]

[After Ji Hong’s accession, the Book of Heaven’s Mandate, Emperor Sword, Kunyuan Shovel successively appeared.]

That’s when the Xuanhuang Realm started its mutation.

Meanwhile, Ji Hong planned to ascend, but as soon as he flew out, he was shattered by black raindrops!

Judging by no more than a thousand years lifespan, three generations of emperors were about three thousand years.

This matches the time after he entered the cosmic version and experienced the Yuanhai Ancient Country event.

Thus, what Guluo River said about the Reincarnation Temple sealing the Xuanhuang Realm’s location is very likely.

Everything lines up... Old Qing’s advice not to return, perhaps he knew about the temple’s seal inside? But is the temple’s seal just because they’re afraid someone will learn from Qing Yu Zi again? Zhao Xing fell into deep thought.

...

The journey ahead, Guluo River said nothing more, silently pressing forward.

When the great figure remains silent, Zhao Xing refrains from asking aimless questions.

It wasn’t until half a year later, when they returned to the Imperial Territory, that Guluo River spoke again.

"Zhao Xing, there’s something you must remember."

"Please command, senior," Zhao Xing said respectfully.

"You’ve opened the Ancient Star Path, contributed to Sea Passage, solved the Stacked Realm Mountain problem, discovered the mysteries of Spirit Void Origin Realm, and now unintentionally helped me unlock a space-time seal... You have made great contributions to the empire."

"I’m sharing these secrets with you, meaning you have a chance to gain resources to become a God. With your current achievements, you have a great hope of achieving God Realm in the empire."

Zhao Xing quietly awaited Guluo River’s forthcoming ’but.’

"However!" Guluo River changed his tone, speaking sharply, "Regardless of whether you choose to cultivate the Source or Heaven and Earth Dao, if you betray this era—flee to the past, you will be my enemy and the Great Emperor’s enemy."

"No matter which time-space you escape to, you will be hunted down, your fate sealed in endless misfortune."

Zhao Xing didn’t utter any righteous words to express loyalty, simply nodded and saluted Guluo River, indicating his understanding.

This is a camp choice, and no one can guarantee that a nurtured God Realm under one’s command won’t rebel, after all, once they go to the past for missions, betrayal becomes very easy.

The current rise of Zhao Xing is unstoppable; he has merits, mastery of Magic Theory, and talent... even if the Red Star Empire doesn’t provide resources to become a God, Ancient Hill would probably be willing.

If Zhao Xing decided to leave the empire and join Primordial Heavenly Palace and Reincarnation Temple, he would receive similar treatment. This is Zhao Xing’s personal luck.

...

"Guluo River saw this in me, which is why he spoke so much, revealing so many secrets."

In the empire, Primordial Realm, within Huai Liu Courtyard of Coral City, on Zhao Xing’s first day returning, he was looking through the intel of the past two thousand years and deeply merging memories from split souls, not missing any detail.

"Yet there are those oblivious enough to try to halt my rise."

Zhao Xing’s gaze fell on a piece of secret intel.

Starfire confidential archives · Wilderness 2 Epoch · 1198 · 87.

Great Zhou confidential archives · Wilderness 2 Epoch · 1198 · 1453.

These are two archives, though recorded differently, they talk about the same event—the sudden mysterious attack on the Ancient Star Path project a thousand four hundred fifty-three years ago and the economic siege of Da Zhou Chamber of Commerce.

The findings from both archives point in the same direction.

"Carlos Family," Zhao Xing’s eyes grew cold.
