Shennong Dao Master

Chapter 1890: Chapter 20: Seven-Star Chest (End of This Volume)

"You really did get it right." Guluo River’s gaze swept across the void. "To use the Void Dao so perfectly in a Desolate Domain—that’s truly the work of a God."

"If the earth veins era here can be traced back to the White Bo Era, that also fits the description in the Mystic Spirit History Book from that time."

"In that period, the Si Yue Desolate Domain wasn’t this large. This place once belonged to the borderlands ruled during the Five Emperors Era."

"Brother Wu Xing, don’t be hasty yet." Emperor Hongshan said in a low voice. "My senior brother never said there was no way."

The Five Poison Emperor’s eyes bulged like a cow’s. Though he didn’t speak, his meaning was obvious: Then you the hell hurry up and say it!

The two Demigods from the Ancient Hill exchanged a few words, then said to Guluo River, "We can use the Earth Transformation Technique to determine it."

Guluo River said in surprise, "You mean that Magic Theory Zhao Xing wrote?"

"Yes. The ’Origin of the Stacked Realm Mountain in the Mesozoic’ that he wrote can be adapted to this Heavenly Ship Giant Star. If we assume that the one who arranged this still has other Star Lands or Boundary Stars ahead on this route, we’ll definitely be able to see the traces and find the correct passage."

Guluo River had only left seclusion not long ago. Naturally he had heard of the Magic Theory Zhao Xing produced, but he hadn’t expected it to be this important.

The Demigods of the Ancient Hill could actually use it as a reference; no wonder when Zhao Xing disappeared this time, two Demigods came knocking on his seclusion door.

"Then I’ll leave it to you two." Guluo River said.

.....

Zhao Xing followed Wei Tianchen through the chaotic currents of the void, and everything he witnessed left him terrified.

Now that he was in the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm, with his Mana transformation having reached 10 Realms, his perception of various Daos in the universe was much clearer.

The chaotic void currents here had already affected the Time-Space Dao; their flow speed had reached a very dangerous level.

He hadn’t expected that the thing the old Imperial Physician wanted would actually be hidden in such a dangerous place.

"The Heavenly Ship opens the gate, Ji Shui throws the star river into chaos. Tian Ningzi, look—we’ve already passed Ji Shui Star. One wrong step and we’d be dead."

"The Chong Shui around that Ji Shui Star can crush even the Reincarnation Emperor to death; there’d be no escape at all."

Zhao Xing was watching for nothing; he was only at the Life and Death Dao Domain Realm and simply couldn’t see things of such a high level.

"The two Giant Stars of Upper Minister and Left General rotate on both sides, grinding down time and space. They’re even using the Earth Advantage Sect spells of your Minister of Agriculture lineage here."

Zhao Xing could see it this time: up ahead were two earth-yellow planets, twisting time and space.

Even at a moment like this he didn’t forget to learn. "How can you tell?"

"Boundary Stars and Star Lands in the universe all gather and take shape because of the earth veins. If the power of the earth veins changes even a little—either stronger or weaker—the Result will be vastly different."

"You’ve seen the Stacked Realm Mountain and even solved the problem of the Stacked Realm Mountain, so you should understand that earth veins can influence the Time-Space Dao."

"Boundary Stars formed by weak earth veins create habitable environments; if they’re too strong, they’ll tear Life into shreds, tearing even Dao apart."

"So that’s how it is." Zhao Xing suddenly understood, and he began to observe the two Giant Stars, cultivating Extreme Land.

At such a critical juncture, he actually wasn’t afraid anymore and could still think about cultivation. Wei Tianchen couldn’t help but feel some admiration.

"Two Giant Stars guard the Heavenly Yin, Corpse Gathering leads to Da Ling... then what are the functions of the Heavenly Yin Star and the Corpse Star?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Heavenly Yin corresponds to Heavenly Yang. It’s a place of pure Yin Qi and should be used to isolate whatever’s inside." Wei Tianchen said.

Zhao Xing nodded to show he understood. "Solitary Yin does not give birth, solitary Yang does not grow. If you want to prevent something from spreading, this kind of environment is indeed the best."

"Exactly. Even the Life Dao is cut off; not a single seed will sprout. For the Self Sect’s Minister of Agriculture, this kind of place makes them useless." Wei Tianchen said. "The Heavenly Yin Giant Star is the environment the Self Sect fears encountering the most."

Zhao Xing quickly sensed it. As they passed through this region, Wei Tianchen’s ship slowed down; he no longer had the energy to talk and focused solely on controlling the Boundary Ship.

The Origin Space was extremely inactive; even the Illusion Tree inside could feel a sense of oppression.

They finally got through this region, but by then three years had passed.

Zhao Xing let out a long breath.

"Old Imperial Physician, what about the Corpse Gathering Giant Star?"

Wei Tianchen turned to look at Zhao Xing and couldn’t help but smile. "Your curiosity isn’t small."

Zhao Xing shrugged. "Since you don’t plan on letting me go, I at least want to die knowing what’s going on."

Wei Tianchen laughed heartily. "The Corpse Gathering Giant Star actually isn’t a physical object—it’s a clump of deathly Qi condensed together."

"I’m also very fond of using the Corpse Gathering method to set traps."

"Using the corpse Qi of a powerhouse, you foster a death-restricted zone. The more people die, the stronger the trap becomes."

Hearing this, Zhao Xing more or less understood what kind of place Wei Tianchen was looking for.

"So the Taiyi Heavenly Poison Source Body isn’t what you really want to find."

"What you’re looking for is something sealed by a God of Physicians from the Five Emperors Period."

Wei Tianchen was grinning from ear to ear. "Hahaha, Tian Ningzi, you finally understand."

"I’ve been searching for it for many years. You should now know how shocked I was when I received your letter back then."

"Even though you tricked and repositioned me twice, I still came willingly."

"Because the Taiyi Annihilation Heavenly Poison Source is just my smallest goal."

Zhao Xing could only give a wry smile. In his past life, he also hadn’t known this thing was actually connected to the God of Physicians.

He only knew that Ancient Doctor Tianchen had offered a very high price back then to find the Taiyi Heavenly Poison Source Body.

"Calling in back-up only to throw yourself into danger—that’s just fate."

Zhao Xing also came to terms with it. To have made it this far without dying even once would already be quite an achievement in his previous life. He’d long imagined countless times that he might fall halfway. After all, whose life is ever perfect?

Having seen through Life and Death, Zhao Xing just wanted to die with clarity. "Old Imperial Physician, so what exactly is it that you’re looking for?"

Wei Tianchen fell silent again, because they were about to pass the Corpse Gathering Giant Star, and this stage required even greater caution.

It wasn’t until a year later that Wei Tianchen’s Boundary Ship finally flew past.

This time Zhao Xing didn’t feel much of anything, but nine of Wei Tianchen’s bodies exploded and never recovered.

The physical bodies Wei Tianchen had painstakingly preserved were, to a certain extent, equivalent to one lifetime of cultivation each.

This stage was the same as blowing up nine lifetimes of his cultivation.

Wei Tianchen’s mood worsened considerably at this point, and he no longer answered Zhao Xing’s question.

"Old Imperial Physician, this sealed object left behind by a Divine Realm Doctor—are you that confident you can take it?"

"If it’s something even a God Realm wanted sealed, you might not be able to handle it." Zhao Xing kept on nagging.

"Shut up!!" Wei Tianchen suddenly bellowed, the shout shaking Zhao Xing’s soul until it went numb.

Zhao Xing thought this bastard was about to make a move, but the imagined death never came—he was still alive.

He saw Wei Tianchen suddenly act like he’d gone mad, muttering under his breath, "How could this be, how could it not be here... where did the Da Ling Giant Star go?"

One after another, several of his bodies flew out, and another nine of them exploded in an instant.

Yet he still came up empty-handed.

Zhao Xing also glanced curiously outside, only to see a stretch of nothingness.

No stars, no light.

Nothing at all.

No, that wasn’t quite right—there was something!

Zhao Xing’s eyes suddenly shifted, locking onto a certain direction.

Wei Tianchen sharply picked up on this and grabbed Zhao Xing by the neck.

"What did you discover? What did you see? Speak!"

His face was twisted, his eyes filled with a hint of madness.

Zhao Xing actually really wanted to talk, but you the hell pinned me down like this—how am I supposed to? Lost your mind, haven’t you?!

After a good while, Wei Tianchen finally came back to his senses and loosened his grip.

Zhao Xing fell to the ground and closed his eyes.

Just now, through the panel, he had seen in a certain part of the void of nothingness seven stars twinkling. They were carved onto a gray wooden chest of drawers.
