Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1451 - 7: Twelve Gods Sacrifice, Ticket to the Ancient Hill!

His mind began to frantically sift through the Memory Palace, ultimately spotting a grand entrance deep within his memory.

Before the door were a lamp, a dog, a rooster, Rice Mountain, and Noodle Mountain.

"Hmm? Is this something I sealed off myself?" Zhao Xing recognized the familiar setting and immediately understood.

"It seems that thinking about certain matters is wrong. I preemptively sealed some memories." Zhao Xing thought to himself. "This is a warning to not investigate, or else a certain realm will never be unsealed."

If it involves such a level and touches on such high realms, there would be no room to maneuver.

There's no point in trying to benefit from it; the best action is to flee when encountering such things.

"Since I chose to seal it, there must be a reason." Zhao Xing decided not to break the seal, knowing his own tendencies — if it wasn't too costly, he would certainly open the seal for a peek.

So the cost of breaking the seal on this Memory Palace must be enormous, likely causing injury.

"There's no need, even if I look, I'd have to seal it again. It's best to stick to the original plan and avoid it."

Zhao Xing silently noted the names down, deciding to steer clear of any related events.

Yuan Sishiliu was still explaining.

According to Yuan Sishiliu,

the Twelve Divine were gods once appearing in the Xuanling Star Domain, but now there's no Divine Level there; Reincarnation Realm is the highest power.

In actuality, the rites worship the descendants of the Twelve Divine, those in the Reincarnation Realm.

"The Twelve Ancient Gods belong to such a distant past; it is rumored they went to explore the unknown universe."

"They left behind a batch of ancient divine descendants."

"These descendants became the Reincarnation Realm but continued to inherit some of the Mighty Power of their godly ancestors."

"Even after their death, their divine traces continue to influence the entire Star Domain. Priests can, through the Worship of these ancient god descendants, receive divine guidance for deeper cultivation..."

Wei Hong listened with excitement. Originally, he heard from Zhao Xing that the Priest's Path in the universe had declined, but now seeing this, it wasn't exactly flourishing either.

"It seems Qing Yu Zi didn't foresee everything. At least on this point, he misled the Grand Minister of Agriculture, and misled me too." Wei Hong thought to himself.

However, he could understand this; after all, Qing Yu Zi had left human civilization 1.2 epochs ago. In a span of over a million years, anything could happen.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture," Wei Hong looked at Zhao Xing, visibly moved.

Zhao Xing vaguely sensed a pitfall in this but couldn't refuse, considering Wei Hong finally saw hope.

Besides the "Twelve Divine Sacrificial Techniques," most had only cultivated to the Second Origin Realm, and Priest's Skills for the Third Realm were rare.

Becoming a Reincarnation Priest was even more out of reach.

"Perhaps you should consider something else?" Zhao Xing instinctively advised, although he knew it was futile.

Wei Hong thought Zhao Xing found the technique expensive since they were already over budget. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

So he cautiously said, "Grand Minister of Agriculture, though this method is a bit pricey, it has no limitations."

"According to Yuan Sishiliu, the footprints of the Twelve Ancient Gods once spanned the Cosmic Void, affecting every Origin."

"I can cultivate anywhere in the Xuanling Star Domain and comprehend the Original Path through worship of these ancient god descendants."

"If you're worried, I could first buy the Void Ancestor God Sacrifice Method and try it out, which only requires 200,000 Yuanhai Coins."

Unable to resist Wei Hong's eager eyes, Zhao Xing nodded, "Very well, then let's first purchase the first layer of 'Void Ancestor God Sacrifice' to try."

Zhao Xing knew of the Void Ancestor God at the Divine Level. It wasn't sealed in his memory, so it proved relatively safe, or at least less dangerous.

"Thank you, Grand Minister of Agriculture," Wei Hong clasped his hands in gratitude.

Zhao Xing then reviewed other Secret Techniques.

The overwhelming feeling immediately vanished.

"Clearly, there is a pitfall," Zhao Xing suppressed the thought and began to browse Secret Techniques related to his profession.

He focused mainly on the Geographical Advantage Skill and Self Sect.

"The most expensive Earth Benefit Sect's Skill is called 'Extreme Land.' It has only a single layer passed down and its creator hails from the Ancient Hill," Yuan Sishiliu explained.

"The 'Extreme Land' has learning prerequisites; we generally don't sell it to cultivators of ordinary aptitude."

"The first layer is divided into three stages."

"Gathering Spirit into Veins."

"Introducing Meridians into the Body."

"Initial Extreme Pulse Formation."

"The veins here refer to earth veins, and they are of Boundary Star Level."

"Once the first layer is fully mastered, one may apply to study at the Ancient Hill."

"Additionally, the Yuanhai Ancient Country will refund all the costs incurred from cultivating it, and they will cover all the study expenses at the Ancient Hill, providing generous rewards."

Upon hearing this, even Cloud Sky Dao and Liu Tianning, who were not inclined towards the Earth Advantage Sect, were moved.

Undeniably, the Ancient Hill is a super power.

This single power can rival the entire Ancient Kingdoms Alliance.

Yet, the Yuanhai Ancient Country is just one among 100,000 ancient countries.

For an ancient country, having someone master the first layer of "Extreme Land" means they have acquired a ticket to enter the Ancient Hill.

Such a super talent emerging from a country must be cultivated with all efforts.

Not only would all expenses from cultivating "Extreme Land" be refunded, but also substantial funds would be provided to send the prodigy to the Ancient Hill.

The first layer of 'Extreme Land' placed among various ancient countries serves to screen talents!

"How much does it cost to buy?" Zhao Xing inquired.

"A billion," Yuan Sishiliu responded astonishingly.

"Ten million is for cultivation resources, as making the earth veins enter the body is extremely dangerous, serving as the [Basic Survival Assurance] for cultivation. Without it, the mortality rate is 99.9%."

"The remaining 90 million includes the right to use three special locations provided by the ancient country for cultivating 'Extreme Land,' custom-designed for the Grand Minister of Agriculture area, constructed at a costly expense."

"If you haven't mastered it after three attempts, each additional entry will cost 30 million."

"If I may be bold to ask, how many people in the Yuanhai Ancient Country have mastered the first layer of 'Extreme Land'?" Cloud Sky Dao curiously asked.

"This is classified data," Yuan Sishiliu smiled. "You are not authorized to know."

Hearing this, Zhao Xing couldn't help but chuckle, "The Empire truly doesn't prey upon the poor."

He knew a piece of data: the probability of mastering the first layer of 'Extreme Land' in ancient countries doesn't exceed ten per epoch.

Yet, purchasers number in the millions annually.

From the Ascension Realm to the Third Realm, mastering it grants entry, with no age or realm requirements.

Even half-mastering 'Extreme Land' has significant benefits, attracting many to learn it.

Judging by this data, the income from 'Extreme Land' alone brings in a significant profit for major ancient countries through its appeal.

However, 'Extreme Land' indeed doesn't chop the poor's leeks; its pricing deters many impoverished cultivators.

"Alright, I'll buy it!"
