Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1408 - 1: Revival Ascension, Crossing Tribulation on the Boundary Boat, Desolate Domain Phenomena!
"Oh?" Cloud Sky Dao chuckled, "Isn’t this an acknowledgment of the Earth Advantage Sect’s theory of cosmic divisions?"
"Yes, the [Extreme Land] theory and the [Extreme Star] theory recognize each other’s assertions yet have their divergences. In some areas, these divergences are so significant that they even lead to wars, while in others, they are minor enough to allow for peaceful coexistence."
"How does the Self Sect explain it?" Cloud Sky Dao inquired further. He was also a person with a strong thirst for knowledge, and the Minister of Agriculture’s pursuit of the mysteries of heaven and earth was never-ending.
"The Self Sect..." Zhao Xing pointed to the dim Taiyin Star, "The Self Sect approaches the issue from the perspective of life."
"They do not acknowledge the [Extreme Land] theory and the [Extreme Star] theory. The Self Sect’s Minister of Agriculture believes that the Desolate Domain phenomenon means that the lifespans of all the Sun Stars and Taiyin Stars in that region have reached their end."
Cloud Sky Dao, rooted in the Heavenly Time Sect’s agriculture, was displeased to hear such a theory. "Hmph, why does the Self Sect deny the existence of Extreme Land and Extreme Star? Not having found [Extreme Star] and [Extreme Land] does not mean they don’t exist."
"The situation in the Xuanhuang Realm at least proves part of the Cosmic Heavenly Time theory and the Cosmic Earth Advantage theory, but it does not prove the Self Sect’s..."
As Cloud Sky Dao spoke, he suddenly looked solemnly at the dim Taiyin Star, "Zhao Xing, could it be..."
"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded, "In the Cosmic Territory, there still exists the [Dead Domain]."
"In our Chenluo Territory, the Sun Star and Taiyin Star have not completely died yet. Luo signifies a net; this net of death descends from the sky, but there is still a spark of life within the mesh, allowing for seasonal changes in some small areas."
"It’s similar to the Xuanhuang Realm, where we occasionally experience a rain of Spiritual Energy recovery after a long wait." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
"If all the Suns and Taiyin Stars within a given territory were to die, it would completely become a Dead Domain."
"Without the existence of the Yin Yang Dao, no life can be born; it becomes an absolute forbidden zone."
Zhao Xing said, "It is precisely because it is a Desolate Domain and not a Dead Domain that Outer Heaven Visitors like Qing Yu Zi can occasionally land in the Xuanhuang Realm."
"Will a Desolate Domain inevitably transform into a Dead Domain?" Cloud Sky Dao’s voice was somber; after all, the Xuanhuang Realm was his homeland.
"Not necessarily." Zhao Xing shook his head. "The Self Sect’s theory cannot be applied universally, so each sect’s theory is valid under certain conditions, but cannot explain everything."
"The divergence in theories has created divisions among the Three Sects. Thus, you can plainly see the division of the Three Sects’ Minister of Agriculture throughout the cosmos."
The Xuanhuang Realm is small, making it simple for the Three Sects to unite, but in the cosmic version, the Three Sects have even larger, more intense divergences.
Cloud Sky Dao’s eyes were filled with intense anticipation, "I really want to fly out there right now and see; the world outside must be marvelous."
"Don’t get too excited, have you seen the universe in front of you, its fundamental color?"
Cloud Sky Dao fell silent; was Zhao Xing hinting that the universe is dark and cold?
Zhao Xing patted Cloud Sky Dao on the shoulder, "Enough of the chatter, let’s get to work now."
He couldn’t say much more, especially concerning the ’Hidden Breaking Illusion’ within the Desolate Domain phenomenon. He feared Cloud Sky Dao would inquire further, so he only broached topics that were permissible.
"Shall I go, or will you?"
"I’ll do it."
"Okay." Zhao Xing beckoned with his hand, and the twenty-four Seasonal Order Divine Weapons appeared.
Great Zhou’s Minister of Agriculture Divine Artifact, the Twenty-four Solar Terms Order, had become a national treasure due to the strengthening of the national fortune. Combined, it forms a top-grade Star Dao Soldiers (a peerless treasure).
Cloud Sky Dao was in the Establishing Tao Realm, and his spell was stronger than Zhao Xing’s. It was hard labor, and with such a capable hand as Cloud Sky Dao, Zhao Xing certainly wouldn’t have to exert himself.
"Collecting is laborious work, Brother Yun, you’re taking on something tough."
Cloud Sky Dao took it upon himself, and with a slight hum, said, "In all my years, I’ve only worked for the Emperor Xia. Now meeting you, kid, truly feels like bad luck."
With a mischievous smile, Zhao Xing cupped his hands and then handed the Spiritual Energy Pearls over to Cloud Sky Dao before descending the mountain.
He believed Cloud Sky Dao would certainly put forth his best effort, for now it was already fifty years into Yuan Ding, and given Old Yun’s constraints, he would have to leave in seventy years.
So he would undoubtedly give it his all.
Gathering the cosmos’ clouds to bring on a rain was a massive undertaking, estimated to take about ten years.
As Zhao Xing descended the Holy Mountain, King Shenluo was already there waiting on a ship.
Ye Yuxong aboard the ship saw Zhao Xing descending and couldn’t help but step forward to ask, "Grand Minister of Agriculture, how is it? When can we enter the Establishing Tao Realm?"
King Shenluo jested, "Brother Ye, that’s called the Ascension Realm; it’s been popular for over a hundred years now. How do you still call it the Establishing Tao Realm? We’re about to venture into the cosmos, don’t be like a country bumpkin."
Ye Yuxong was irritated, "You’re so trendy! I’d like to call the Star Dao Soldiers peerless treasures if I want to, what’s it to you? If you’re not satisfied, let’s have a fight!"
King Shenluo shrugged, "Martial artist."
"You..."
Zhao Xing laughed, "Alright, you two, stop arguing. When the time comes, you’ll naturally be informed about crossing the tribulation, King Shenluo, let’s go back and check how the Boundary Boat is being built."
"Yes." King Shenluo immediately activated the warship, "Grand Minister of Agriculture, we will navigate through the Ancient Earth Tunnel, to the Heavenly Realm’s Boundary Boat Division, estimated to take fifteen days."
...
Great Zhou is to build a Boundary Boat for traveling through the cosmos, requiring numerous materials, and as the first region to encounter the Spiritual Energy tide, the Heavenly Realm is rich in resources.
Several core components for constructing the Boundary Boat are located in different places, with the Heavenly Realm being a significant part.
Heavenly Realm, Qitian Palace.
At this time, the Heavenly Realm’s Divine Mountain had completely transformed into an engineering site, with the entire mountain being converted into a shipyard.
