Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1422 - 3: Epic Decision, Da Ye Dynasty, Star Snow Pass!

"Good, go in and sleep for a while."

"Cold? It's called an ice coffin, but it's actually not cold, just a little chilly."

Zhao Xing was inside a small sleeping barrier, coaxing three pet beasts: Mountain Cat Long Aotian, Cangni Dog Xiaotian, and Inverted Sheep Illusion Heaven.

"Are you going or not?! If not, I'll stew you and eat you!" Zhao Xing made a stern face, looking at the three pet beasts, "It's not easy to get you to the Rule Realm, wasting your lifespan on the road? Quickly get in there!"

Woof woof!

Cangni Dog tucked its tail and obediently leaped into the ice coffin.

Baa baa~

The Inverted Sheep gently leaped and lay down like Cangni.

"Meow~" The Mountain Cat rubbed against Zhao Xing, beginning to act cute.

"How long? Five hundred years if everything goes well, a thousand if it doesn't." Zhao Xing said, "Your lifespans can't last that long, sleep now, when you wake up, we can play together."

The Mountain Cat reluctantly walked into the ice coffin, turning back every few steps, seeing Zhao Xing had not changed his mind, it could only softly meow, gracefully transforming into a bolt of lightning and leaping into the ice coffin to curl up.

"Sizzle sizzle~"

Zhao Xing waved his hand, and instantly, nine streams of ice spiritual energy emerged inside the ice coffin, freezing the three pet beasts instantly.

A countdown showed above, a thousand years.

"Done."

Feeling the breathing of the three pet beasts become extremely weak, Zhao Xing started to walk outside.

Inside the barrier, there were many ice coffins, twenty-one Establishing Tao Realm cultivators from Great Zhou (not counting Cloud Sky Dao), with thirteen sleeping.

Besides Zhao Xing, Liu Tianning, Luo Hou King, Lu Ying, Purple Bone, Wei Hong, Ji Si, the rest were already in sleep.

Cloud Sky Dao didn't sleep either, originally Zhao Xing persuaded him to sleep because Cloud Sky Dao's techniques had been refined to a point where there was no further room for improvement.

Yet how could Cloud Sky Dao sleep?

Cloud Sky Dao planned to repair some arrays during this period.

According to his words, mastering an additional skill might offer another chance to save his relatives.

Zhao Xing did not persuade further, letting him tinker as he pleased.

Liu Tianning, Luo Hou King, Wei Hong, Lu Ying were responsible for handling the affairs within Boundary Boat Cave Heaven, such a vast empire still required strong individuals to maintain its operation.

Emperor couldn't sleep either, Ji Che was focusing on learning, learning a diverse set of skills.

Ji Si, this Fate Officer, did not sleep for a simple reason; Zhao Xing once said that Fate Officers found it difficult to cultivate in the universe, trailing other professions by one level, while others could enhance to different degrees, Fate Officers could not.

Thus, Ji Che refused to sleep, consistently studying Star Destiny Strategy.

Zhao Xing left the realm of sleep, Long Xiao, Mi Fei, Chen Shijie, Xia Jing, King Shenluo, Ye Yuxong, Dong Ze, Li Hao, Ji Zixuan, Princess You Ruo, Ling Tianchen... all peacefully lying in the ice coffin asleep.

Each ice coffin had a countdown, indicating the sleep warning line, safety line.

"Boom~"

The gate closed, barrier sealed.

Only under special circumstances, or when the Xuanhuang Realm Boat reached a spiritual energy region, would they be awakened.

...

Since Great Zhou's ascension, entering the cosmic void, Emperor Wu changed the era name to Taishi, signifying Great Zhou's entry into a brand new beginning.

In the first year of Taishi, many events took place, including the explosion of the Xuanhuang Realm, Zhao Xing's lectures, spread of cosmic knowledge, and the beginning of sleep for some Great Zhou's strong ones.

In the second year of Taishi, some officials also began to sleep, as now Great Zhou's population concentrated in several provinces, not requiring so many for management.

In the third year of Taishi, Great Zhou began implementing a rationing system.

In the same year, the Spiritual Energy Law was enacted, most spiritual energy materials were collected and concentrated in planting areas.

For officials and cultivators, the Spiritual Energy Law imposed restrictions; non-Great Zhou officials could only self-cultivate using vitality, forbidden from absorbing spiritual energy, and barred from trading spiritual energy substances.

Originally, in the Spiritual Energy Era, many cultivators were expected to emerge, but during this wandering period, Great Zhou needed to utilize every bit of spiritual energy rationally.

Even the birth speed of high-grade beings had to be controlled, daring to secretly cultivate resulted in severe punishment.

The enactment of this law caused quite a stir; originally thought to have welcomed the Spiritual Energy Era with good times ahead, unexpectedly remained the same, wasn't the ascension in vain?

In the fourth year of Taishi, significant unrest occurred in various places; dissatisfied individuals believed the Spiritual Energy Law interrupted their path upward, especially the recently joined affiliated sects, openly revolting.

"Freedom or death!"

And then, they truly died.

In the fifth year of Taishi, Luo Hou King led a bloody suppression, in all provinces of Boundary Boat Cave Heaven, those daring to revolt were executed.

The unrest was thoroughly quelled before gaining momentum.

In the sixth year of Taishi, Great Zhou's regions returned to normal life.

For those without high realms, it was just a change of living place.

The Spiritual Energy Law or not, didn't affect their original life.

Those able to enjoy cosmic version benefits were destined to be future generations, after all, ascending in cultivation was meant for few.

In the sixth year of Taishi, Luo Hou King returned from quelling the unrest, reporting the situation, only to find Ji Che absent-minded.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" Luo Hou King called twice.

"Hmm, hmm?" Ji Che returned to the present, "What was it about?"

"Your Majesty, just spoke about the Four Extremes Sect rebellion in Ji County is settled. The leader has been executed, but how to deal with the rest requires your decision."

"Release those coerced." Ji Che waved his hand and said, "To prevent panic, only execute the main culprits."
