Chapter 1892: Chapter 1: Desolate God Poison and the Star Realm Pathology Theory! Zhao Xing Only Has One Month Left?_2

Wei Tianchen once again lost four generations of cultivation, returning empty-handed.

Zhao Xing glanced over; the Seven-Star Chest remained in its place.

Yet, the woman in white did not appear again.

...

After losing four generations of cultivation once more, Wei Tianchen felt exceedingly frustrated.

He was now certain that a Daling Superstar had once suppressed time and space here.

With the aid of a divine object, he had great hope of taking that God Realm’s Seven-Star Chest upon arriving here.

But the Daling Superstar vanished, leaving only the Seven-Star Chest!

The task of retrieval had become daunting.

At this moment, Zhao Xing suddenly began to move around the ship, and upon noticing this, Wei Tianchen looked at him with murderous intent.

Zhao Xing knew he had to demonstrate his usefulness; if he had no value, this old thing would likely make a move against him.

"Old Imperial Physician, no need to rush and kill me yet."

"Since I can see what you cannot, it proves that my value here is greater than yours."

"We have no mortal feud. I help you, you spare me. Isn’t that better than being empty-handed or wasting our time here?"

Wei Tianchen pondered seriously for a moment and surprisingly agreed: "Alright, I swear by the Li Emperor that if you help me acquire the Seven-Star Chest, I will spare you."

"If I break this oath, I shall forever have no hope of reaching the God Realm!"

Oaths held little weight for Zhao Xing as there were many means to breach them.

However, Zhao Xing only wished to stall Wei Tianchen for a while, awaiting rescue.

"Alright, I trust you!"

"I saw something on the chest, but it’s hard for me to describe or articulate it." Zhao Xing looked towards a pavilion on the ship: "Old Imperial Physician, since you’ve survived since the Five Emperors Era, you must have preserved some ancient texts."

"Allow me to see them; perhaps I can help you translate them."

"If you feel confident, you could let me view only the insignificant words, language, and historical records."

Wei Tianchen scrutinized Zhao Xing for a moment, then nodded: "Alright, there is a Book Collection Pavilion on the ship; you may enter and look."

There is no plan to let Zhao Xing live; even letting him see the Book Collection Pavilion is of no consequence.

Wei Tianchen has now lost over ten generations of cultivation; continuing in this manner is not sustainable.

If the right method isn’t found, how many lives must be sacrificed in vain?

One point Wei Tianchen agrees on is that while he cannot see, Zhao Xing can; the latter’s value is indeed greater at this moment.

...

Wei Tianchen’s Book Collection Pavilion is akin to a Grotto Heaven within, rows of cabinets floating in space, tiered arrangements extending endlessly.

As a figure from the Five Emperors Period, his collection is astonishingly vast. Upon entering, Zhao Xing couldn’t help but marvel at the sight of book mountains, rivaling the top three levels of Academic City’s Law Realm in amount.

"Boom~~"

The numerous bookshelves parted and vanished.

Wei Tianchen did not want Zhao Xing’s time wasted, concealing all the newer generation books and leaving only middle-generation texts from the White Bo Era.

Zhao Xing’s Divine Thought scanned quickly, beginning a thorough perusal and learning.

He also wished to clarify what Doctor Divine Realm Fan Qianrou actually spoke of.

The language from the Five Emperors Period is vastly different from today’s, yet Zhao Xing quickly mastered over a thousand types. However, he still could not understand the words spoken by Fan Qianrou.

He continued watching and learning.

Suddenly, his gaze fixed as he caught sight of an ancient medical book.

It seemed to touch upon knowledge related to the Desolate Domain.

Zhao Xing believed the Desolate God Poison might be linked with the Desolate Domain, hence he read closely, only to find no mention of the Desolate God Poison; instead, it offered a unique perspective on the Desolate Domain’s transformation.

[The ailment of cultivation, the golden Magic Body incomplete; Five Elements and six qi disordered; soul intelligence unclear, Dao heart experiencing fire deviance... All pathologies follow the Dao’s principles, leaving traces. Observing human ailments as the Dao’s impermanence, transforming this impermanence into tangible principles, then it becomes medicine indeed.]

Upon reading this, Zhao Xing still felt it quite normal.

The Doctor’s professional skill includes something called [Pathology Perception], where Doctors believe that the composition of all beings should be flawless; if significant damage occurs, such an incomplete force is akin to the moon in the night within a Doctor’s perception.

Yet, turning the page, a statement unexpectedly caught Zhao Xing off guard.

[However, mankind possesses incurable ailments, with pathologies leaving no trace, medicines ineffective. Likewise, Heaven has its extremes of impermanence, during great eras, natural disasters and upheavals transpire, shattering all living creatures. Does the Cosmic Dao also bear flaws?]

[With the Desolate Domain spreading unstoppably, and the Imperial Court’s Dao disrupted, could it be the Dao’s pathological change?]

"Hmm?"

Zhao Xing glanced at the book’s name, discovering it was titled "Xuanling Desolate Domain Pathology Theory," with no author signature, only noting the date — Li Emperor’s Third Era and Seventh Yang Year.

Cross-referencing history, it roughly marks the Li Emperor Era’s end.

"Desolate Domain Pathology Theory? Interesting that the Five Emperors Era’s medical community views natural disasters, upheavals, and Desolate Domain phenomena like this."

The author of this medical book believes human pathology arises from the internal disorder of the Five Elements and six qi.

The six qi within a human are: wind, cold, heat, dryness, humidity, fire, and those in the cosmos: yin, yang, wind, rain, dark, bright.

While the Yin Yang Dao nurtures beings, beings refine the Five Elements and six qi to attain Dao; human ailment generation strongly correlates with the Dao’s alteration.

Conversely, unsuitable living environments can be seen as the Dao experiencing pathological change.

Although common enough, Zhao Xing knew each house had its theoretical approach to elucidating Dao and cosmic phenomena.
