Chapter 1057: Chapter 68: Pure Essence Soil Traits, Resolving Drawbacks! Major Future Reassignment? (Part 3)
"Each trait has nine sub-levels; the earth veins are now at the fifth level."
Zhao Xing could clearly sense the existence of a fifth-order earth vein within the Pure Essence Soil.
A fifth-order earth vein is already strong enough.
In Great Zhou, the standard for top-grade fertile fields requires a fourth-order earth vein.
Even the experimental fields at Shangluo Academy’s Shuangsheng Institute mostly have fifth-order earth veins.
The birth of earth veins in the Pure Essence Space is different in significance, akin to a person carrying an earth vein within their Inner World!
"The generation of earth veins is one of the prerequisites for developing the Inner World."
"Later, when I cast the Earth Advantage Sect Magic, it will receive a boost from it."
"The complete form of the Minister of Agriculture certainly cannot be lacking from any sect." Zhao Xing looked at the mound in the center of the soil, filled with emotion.
The center area had already risen five meters above the horizon!
"The Self Sect’s Minister of Agriculture at Shangluo Academy, where the Pure Essence Soil gave birth to Earth Element Earth Veins, likely must be at the first rank, and sporadic second ranks might be born at the Divine Splendor Institute, since there’s the legacy of the ancient wood."
"The second trait, shaped by the Water Element Spirit Liquid, is the water nurturing trait. It accelerates the growth of plant soldier species."
"The Water Element Spirit Qi has already allowed me to bypass the initial stage of this Water Element trait and reach the second stage, [Spiritual Spring]."
Zhao Xing arrived at another location where a small ten-meter-wide water pit had formed.
Inside, Water Element Spirit Liquid was stored, with strands of spiritual energy rising above it.
Using it as a foundation, it could radiate throughout the Pure Essence Soil.
In the future, Zhao Xing wouldn’t need to individually cultivate plant soldier species; he could utilize the spiritual energy here, which solved the storage issue.
Before its appearance, he had to constantly bind spiritual energy.
"Other traits include the agility of wind, the vitality of wood, the warmth of fire, the solidity of gold, and the destruction of lightning."
"These are still at the seventh or eighth level of the first stage, with some distance from advancement."
Zhao Xing put away the Pure Essence Projection and then soared into the sky.
"The Nine-star Fire Prison is only a part of the Dragon Prison; I can keep searching as there’s more spiritual energy here than I imagined."
"Next, I need to search for spiritual energy while solving the problem of the Ten Thousand Skill Grass Man, and also verify my previous hypothesis." Zhao Xing mused.
"If the spiritual energy I find later is still more than I imagined, it would preliminarily verify my hypothesis."
"Some places need to be approached with measures to get inside, so I must hurry."
Zhao Xing continued flying within the Nine-star Fire Prison.
Calculating from when he entered the Dragon Well, it was already three months later when he came out.
After all, absorbing and purifying so much spiritual energy takes considerable time.
...
While Zhao Xing searched for spiritual energy in the Nine-star Fire Prison, things were erupting outside.
Dragon King Yin Xiu awakened from slumber and intervened with the encirclement by the Southern Barbarians, Japan, the Water Clan, and sects against Great Zhou, leaving everyone in disbelief.
The final outcome was even more explosive:
The Dragon King of Great Snake Country, Yichuan, was killed, and the two Dragon Kings from Southern Barbarians, Tuoyan, and Pompeii, lost their Dragon King positions and fled in panic, their fate unknown!
The news spread, leaving people incredulous.
"Just earlier they said Great Zhou’s White Dragon King was besieged, how has the situation suddenly reversed?"
"My goodness, Yichuan was actually killed! Pompeii and Tuoyan lost their Dragon King positions!"
"Did I hear wrong? Can the Dragon King position be revoked?"
"Absolutely true! The alliance has already issued a warning, but no one believed it."
"Who issued it?"
"The two Heavenly Venerates from the White Bone Sect!"
"Damn it, why did they just say it so lightly!"
"..."
At this time, the two Heavenly Venerates from the White Bone Sect were still on the Ascending Dragon Platform, refining the Great Dragon King’s skull.
When they heard the news, their jaws dropped in astonishment.
"Red Bone, have we... gone too far?" Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate asked with difficulty.
Red Bone Heavenly Venerate swallowed hard.
They completely didn’t expect that the group from Great Zhou obtained such great authority from the Dragon Emperor Ascension Platform!
Not only did they summon Yin Xiu and kill the Wind Dragon King, but they could also affect the Dragon King title!
"The Dragon King is our foundation for navigating the Dragon Court; without this position, it’s very inconvenient to explore many places!"
"This incident... is too big." Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate became nervous. "If someone can achieve this level, who can stop Great Zhou from dominating the Dragon Court?"
"Now is not the time to think about this; no matter how powerful Great Zhou is, their spots are ultimately limited, and Dragon Court Ancient Land is so vast that they can’t explore it all. It’s impossible to obtain all the benefits."
"The question we need to consider now is how to explain to the Royal Court." said Red Bone Heavenly Venerate.
They issued a warning, but it was too light.
Now with one Dragon King dead and two fleeing, someone definitely has to take the blame.
The problem is that the responsibility is too big, and the White Bone Sect cannot bear it!
"What else can we do? We can only hide!" Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate gritted his teeth. "Anyway, we issued a warning."
"Who could have imagined Great Zhou had such power? Bai Yunwu isn’t even dead yet and will soon come out from the Nine-star Fire Prison. This is entirely Pompeii’s misjudgment!"
Hiding is indeed a good choice; they can still go on adventures, take the benefits, and any disputes afterward are just about sharing profits.
"What about it?" Red Bone Heavenly Venerate pointed at the Great Dragon King’s skull.
"We can only take it away and refine it slowly elsewhere."
"For now, that’s all we can do. Hopefully, we’ll succeed in refining it, and if we find more treasures, we might strengthen our position and not only avoid difficulties but also advance further."
