Chapter 1724: Chapter 9: Hundred Feet Void, Three Thousand Dao Seeds, Primordial Daoist Collection!

Some mushrooms appear to be Illusion Star Mushrooms on the surface, but unexpectedly, before Zhao Xing moved, they transformed into ’Void Explosion Mushrooms’.

"I knew I saw potential in you. You deserve to join my ranks," the Five Poison Emperor also laughed sinisterly.

...

The drill quickly concluded, and Zhao Xing presented new demands.

"The Spiritual Energy Index of the cultivation planet should be reduced to 10, and from the start of my combat, the spiritual energy should begin to dissipate."

Zhao Xing began to impose more intensity on himself because he found that if the spiritual energy environment was abundant, the Ding Jiu puppet was no match for him.

The Bing Jiu series couldn’t match either!

If nothing unexpected happened, the last arena set in the Primordial Realm would likely also be one with scarce spiritual energy.

So now he started to engage in precise calculations of spiritual energy usage during combat.

If spiritual energy was limited, then for an aggressive army tactic, a reasonable combination was needed, utilizing every combat unit wisely.

This demand wasn’t originally covered by the Primordial Realm’s service offerings, but the Five Poison Emperor checked the rules and found nothing prohibiting such requirements.

Therefore, he personally took action to continue customizing the combat venues according to Zhao Xing’s demands.

After the first year passed, Zhao Xing began fighting in an environment with a spiritual energy index of 10.

An index of 10 spiritual energy presented an extremely harsh environment for a Divine Power Realm aggressive army’s Minister of Agriculture.

Zhao Xing had to multitask effectively, aiming to micromanage every combat unit.

In the second year, Zhao Xing made another request to the Five Poison Emperor.

"Increase the chaos index to 90, reduce the spiritual energy index to five, and double the dissipation rate."

After fighting for a year under such conditions, even if the Ding Jiu puppets were increased to one hundred, they could not keep up with Zhao Xing’s training intensity.

In the third year, Zhao Xing switched to Bing Jiu puppets.

...

Time flew by, and only one month remained before the final assessment in the Primordial Realm.

The Five Poison Emperor controlled the Guiding Grassman and transmitted a message to Zhao Xing.

"Zhao Xing from the Beihai Star System, your cultivation must halt now, with only one month left until the final assessment. The Primordial Realm has released the latest preparation details, make sure to check them."

Whoosh~

Green wings unfurled behind Zhao Xing, appearing on the ship outside the Boundary Star.

"Set sail and take me back to the contestants’ residential area," Zhao Xing ordered the Guiding Grassman and then took out the Star Mirror to check.

[Zhao Xing from the Beihai Star System, please return to the temporary residential area for contestants in two days to prepare for the final assessment.]

[Your competition zone is the Self Sect’s Minister of Agriculture, combat subdivision.]

[Before the rules are announced, you must undergo the final examination preparation process.]

"As expected." Zhao Xing’s gaze fell on the ’examination preparation process’.

"In a century, over a thousand people have been removed, either due to committing heinous crimes in this life or being stripped of their qualification after being discovered to have deep enmity with the Empire in past lives observed through the Reincarnation Mirror."

"Now there’s another round of selection, it’s stricter than I remember."

"There are too many Reincarnation Realm entities reincarnated from the Yuanhai Ancient Country, the Empire likely needs to prepare for a heart-searching inspection."

When he received the territory bestowed by the Beihai Lord, even Qiao Song had said that citizens could not be killed, but secondary citizens could be dealt with as one pleased.

If there was any enmity or violation of Empire law, as long as it wasn’t treason, it could be smoothed over.

This essentially underscores that treason is intolerable.

Concealing it wouldn’t let one escape this checkpoint.

Zhao Xing closed the Star Mirror and quietly awaited the inspection.

He believed that with Qing Yu Zi’s endorsement, the promises previously made wouldn’t be repeated here.

...

In the temporary residential area of the Primordial Realm, within a star city numbered Minister of Agriculture 28, Emperor Chen Jiu appeared above the city.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~

Holding a mechanical disc that emitted a gentle glow, all the contestants in the star city fell into slumber.

In the next moment, the Artifact Spirit Chen Jiu of the Dayan Divine Weapon, transformed into countless phantoms, appeared in the contestants’ bedrooms.

Whenever Emperor Chen Jiu appeared, the contestants would begin to dream.

The dreams focused on battles or purges experienced by the Empire, immersing participants into these scenarios.

Those who chose to become traitors or spies, or acted against the Empire’s interests, would be immediately expelled.

Contestants who did not fully support the Empire, but less severely, were placed in the [Reincarnation Group].

Overall, the Empire would not tolerate traitors.

However, it would not give up on converting those who were momentarily dissenting, hoping they might be swayed to become supportive in the future.

Only those who made extreme decisions in their dreams would be eliminated and expelled.

...

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh~"

Emperor Chen Jiu inspected the contestants one by one, and soon, in star city number 28, eighteen individuals were removed, and over 500 were marked into the Reincarnation Group.

This included Han Chuchen, who interfered with the Reincarnation Temple’s affairs and had a misfortunate reincarnation.

When approaching Zhao Xing’s room, Emperor Chen Jiu was about to inspect Zhao Xing’s dream but suddenly paused as a voice stopped him.

"There’s no need to inspect him; wake him up and regroup him as normal."

Chen Jiu immediately nodded respectfully, "Yes."

As the Artifact Spirit of the Dayan Divine Weapon, Chen Jiu held a high status, even with authority above Zuo Qiyu.

There were few who could command him, among them the Red Star Empire’s Emperor and that God Realm ancestor.

Now he had just received orders from the God Realm.

With a wave of his hand, Emperor Chen Jiu let Zhao Xing naturally awaken from the dream after an hour, then quickly departed.

An hour later, Zhao Xing awoke.

"Did I have a dream?" Zhao Xing began to recall the dream.

"In the dream, I became a border general of the Red Star Empire, guarding a star pass with millions of great demons pressing upon me, forcing me to surrender or face annihilation of both spirit and body."
