Chapter 1720: Chapter 9: Hundred Feet Void, Three Thousand Dao Seeds, Primordial Daoist Collection!

Originally, he didn’t have to take Zhao Xing under his wing; curiosity was more of his intent. Now, however, a strong desire has emerged, and he’s really planning to take action.

"Quickly take me to the Primordial Daoist Collection area." Zhao Xing, however, was unaware that there were two prominent figures’ consciousnesses inside the Guiding Grassman, treating the grassman as a servant.

He needed to race against the clock, as he only had a mere hundred years to make full use of.

"Please follow me." The Five Poison Emperor controlled the grassman and immediately led Zhao Xing out of the Three Thousand Dao Seeds area.

Then, through the leaf ’teleportation’ of the Thousand Star Vine, in less than two hours, they had traversed billions upon billions of miles, arriving in front of a pure white city wall.

"This place is the Root Skill Area of the Primordial Daoist Collection." The Five Poison Emperor spoke through the grassman. "You can..."

"Alright, step back." Zhao Xing once again interrupted the grassman, as he had done before.

He needed no service, only to be shown the way.

The Five Poison Emperor, interrupted, felt quite uncomfortable. But he also understood that Zhao Xing wasn’t aware of his presence in the grassman.

Zuo Qiyu laughed heartily, quite pleased to see the Five Poison Emperor face a setback.

"Seems like he’s well-prepared, Five Poison; you’re casting pearls before swine."

"Humph, I like this kind, what are you going to do?"

"Skinless, faceless scoundrel!"

"A root that can’t be distinguished as male or female!"

"..."

Zhao Xing waved the grassman away and began searching for an entrance.

The pure white city wall in front of him wasn’t a real city wall, but a Ten Thousand Dao Tree.

During the Xuanhuang Realm period, he had seen a tree at Shangluo College, but it was only five hundred thousand years old.

This tree in the Primordial Realm couldn’t even be detected by Zhao Xing’s panel, as only a segment was exposed to the outside space, but it was at least over a billion years old.

"The Minister of Agriculture planted the Ten Thousand Dao Tree, modeled after the Dao Tree inside a scholar’s body, as a derivative species."

"Its sole purpose is inheritance; the Primordial Realm only opens the Root Skill Area to contestants, where they can learn up to the Divine Skill."

The Ten Thousand Dao Tree in the Primordial Realm is the largest in the entire Xuanling Star Domain.

Legend has it that the Tree Crown Area of the Ten Thousand Dao Tree in the Primordial Realm possesses divine skills for becoming a god.

However, Zhao Xing had never been inside in his past life, so he couldn’t verify it.

"Swish~"

Targeting the patterns on the white city wall, Zhao Xing plunged directly inside.

The white city wall had green root stem veins, which, when a cultivator touched, immediately recessed, enveloping and absorbing the person inside.

Then it rapidly flowed, delivering the cultivator to a designated area.

How is it designated?

Simply by saying it.

"I want to go to the Mutant Technique area."

Zhao Xing muttered to himself.

Gurgle~

The surrounding space seemingly felt like liquid and swiftly transported Zhao Xing to a green root space.

"Pop~"

As if spat out, Zhao Xing found the Guiding Grassman already waiting for him.

Still paying no attention to the Guiding Grassman, Zhao Xing immediately began making requests.

"I want to learn the four-system Mutant Technique applied to mushrooms, vines, tree-bases, and bamboo-bases."

With precise targeting, time was immediately saved in choosing.

Because Zhao Xing was most familiar with these four types of units.

Switching mutations among the four major types of plant soldiers is the most suitable option.

Ti Yuan Divine Power has its limitations, only fitting for mushroom species, and now Zhao Xing wants to broaden his range of abilities.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom~"

Even with a precise request, there were still tens of thousands of white root tendrils, like tentacles, extending toward Zhao Xing.

The tips of the tendrils glimmered with white fluorescence, storing the ’Daoist Skills.’

As Zhao Xing’s fingertips nearly touched each one, brief introductions of numerous secret techniques soon appeared in his mind.

"The four-system Mutant Technique, most are of the same strength."

Emphasizing the four-system Mutant Technique, part of the spell’s power was sacrificed to enhance adaptability.

If you want strong power, then a single-system Mutant Technique is the choice.

"There is a convergence among the tool techniques; I have Ti Yuan Divine Power, so I must select a technique that complements it."

Ti Yuan Divine Power is already at Small Divine Power Ninth Rank, abandoning it to cultivate a new technique is unwise as there’s no time.

Zhao Xing spent a year trying to find a valve that, when combined with Ti Yuan Divine Power, could achieve an effect greater than the sum of its parts.

Finally, he settled on a divine skill.

"It’s called the ’Stalk Battle Divine Skill.’"

Without hesitation, Zhao Xing seized one of the white tendrils, while the rest retracted and dispersed.

Stalk Battle Divine Skill, like Ti Yuan Divine Power, first distinguishes the original partition of life, then proceeds with modification.

The difference is that this technique condenses a ’tool’ not into a needle shape, but into a funnel shape.

"Compared to Ti Yuan Divine Power, this secret technique possesses cosmic positioning functions and has higher stability."

"The basic structure of life is like a pile of wet mud; Ti Yuan Divine Power uses a needle to carve out a new life structure."

"Stalk Battle Divine Skill directly funnels in from the left and out from the right; the mold is ready-made, greatly improving efficiency."

The plant soldiers mutated out of Ti Yuan Divine Power undoubtedly have stronger innate talents, albeit at the cost of longer time and mental strain.

The formation of units is slower; the Stalk Battle Divine Skill enables the rapid mass production of new units.

The combination of both fulfills Zhao Xing’s aggressive army combat needs.

"Once learned, if I want elite soldiers, I have elite soldiers; if I want to spread out, I can spread out, applying different battle scenarios."

After confirmation, Zhao Xing began a thirty-year-long cultivation to match.
