Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1296 - 8: The Incomplete Dojo and Bizarre Rules

"I want to borrow the Heavenly Fate Golden List and the Rivers and Mountains Map." Zhao Xing said, "These two items have grown stronger with the arrival of the Primordial Qi Tide, and their effective range has gradually increased."

Going abroad to seize opportunities inevitably leads to conflict, but with these two things, it will be much easier.

"Heavenly Fate Golden List and Rivers and Mountains Map? No problem!"

"Big brother, you don't need to make a trip to the storeroom; I'll bring them to you directly."

Ji Che beckoned with his hand, and the next moment, the two divine artifacts arrived from the sky.

The two divine artifacts were both scrolls, though one was large and the other small, one golden and one gray.

"Heavenly Fate Golden List." Zhao Xing took over the two divine artifacts, feeling quite emotional when seeing the Heavenly Fate Golden List.

"Big brother, why are you feeling emotional?" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Back then, because of it, I was chased by rebel forces."

The Heavenly Fate Golden List was once held by Prince Liang Ji Mingxian and could list all important high-ranking strong individuals within a specific area.

Back then, Zhao Xing wrote the "Three Yin and Three Yang Six Qi Great Cycle Theory", and Hu Yang and Zhang Tianxing from the Mrquis Transformation Sect invited Zhao Xing to join them in calculating the Grotto Heaven cycle strength, to contend for passage.

It was because of this that Zhao Xing appeared on the list, and quite prominently, because what it was going to do was very disruptive to the Heavenly Fate Golden List.

This means the Heavenly Fate Golden List can not only show personal information within a certain range but also determine the importance of friend and foe.

The Heavenly Fate Golden List was originally a supreme treasure, but now with the version updates accompanying the Primordial Qi Tide, its power has also grown stronger.

"Prince Liang... humph, this traitor." Ji Che got quite angry upon hearing this name.

Prince Liang rebelled at the end of the Jingxin Calendar, causing extremely negative impacts on Great Zhou.

Pinghai State and Lvliang State lost a significant amount of population, and to this day, in some places, the population hasn't returned to pre-war levels.

Prince Liang's rebellion also allowed the Outer Alliance to enter the territory of Great Zhou and wreak havoc, and even now, legends about the Evil God persist among the people.

"Big brother, are you aware there's still a rumor outside saying Prince Liang didn't die." Ji Che said.

"Prince Liang didn't die?" Zhao Xing was taken aback, "How could that be, wasn't he trapped in Prince Liang's City and killed by the Ten Directions Array set by the Mixed Element Battleship."

Ji Che: "Indeed, but the late emperor once suspected this."

"Big brother also knows the Corpse Puppet Sect possesses the technique of one soul multiple bodies, it's hard to say if he practiced such an evil technique."

"Over the years, I've sent people to look for him in the Outer region, vaguely getting rumors that he transformed into Ming Xianzi, hiding in the Realm of Slumber."

"You don't need to worry." Seeing Ji Che unhappy, Zhao Xing comforted him: "What use is it even if he's alive? He barely made any impact when he was the Prince Liang, let alone being an Outer Demon."

"But such rumors, in any case, are a disgrace to the royal family." Ji Che said: "He used to be a famous wise prince, and even led troops against Yin You Mountain, his betrayal has always pained father."

"Regardless of whether it's true, if you go this time, could you help me verify the truth?"

"Alright." Zhao Xing nodded, assured that Prince Liang was definitely dead in Great Zhou, a confirmed matter; even if alive, he was practically dead, so he didn't mind it.

As for the Outer world, whether Prince Liang lived or not, Zhao Xing didn't care much, as he just mentioned, when Ji Mingxian had the world's military power and many divine artifacts, along with high prestige, he failed to make significant waves, so it was even less likely he could achieve anything in the Outer world.

Of course, this is a disgrace to the Ji Royal Family; if there were truly any resurrection rumors, Ji Che would naturally be concerned and want to cleanse this shame.

Because if Prince Liang were truly alive, and casually spoke ill of Emperor Jing outside, those slanders would be quite persuasive, and Ji Che as a son couldn't tolerate this.

However, in Mr. Zhao's view, Emperor Jing... does he even need to be slandered?

The two quickly moved past this unhappy topic and returned to the main subject: "How does big brother plan this trip?"

How to plan means asking which people to bring, where to start, and whether Ji Che needed to provide diplomatic cooperation.

"Great Zhou sends a small number of strong individuals abroad to contend for opportunities, seeking breakthroughs. Fighting on foreign soil is quite unfavorable; if possible, avoid fighting." Zhao Xing said, "Diplomatic means are necessary, but also prepare for breaking ties."

"The fewer people, the better for getting things done. My party only needs three to five people, preferably ones I'm familiar with."

"I have a preliminary list in mind, including Minister of War Ye Yuxu, Ministry of Industry Middle Lang Ling Luo Tian (King Shenluo), Commander Ji Yun, Minister of War Cui Chengzhi."

Ji Che nodded, these five people are first-class, reliable in terms of loyalty and capability.

Going abroad for breakthroughs, Ritual Repairer and Priest are unlikely candidates, and currently, there's no possibility of self-initiating breakthroughs in Ritual and Priest, the only path is through national fortune elevation.

Dancers and musicians, with fewer people, cannot fully utilize their combat power, so these individuals are most suitable for seeking breakthrough opportunities abroad.

"Big brother, yourself? You're not also planning to go abroad?" Ji Che asked.

"My true self won't go; only a clone will." Zhao Xing smiled.

"Once more under His Majesty's command break through, the Yun Meng Academy's function is utilized, agricultural expansion occurs, national fortune naturally increases."

"Then request His Majesty to grant me a Qi Fortune baptism, allowing my physical breakthrough."

What Zhao Xing is doing now is to increase Great Zhou's overall Qi Fortune.

One way is to cultivate more Rule Realm individuals.
