Shennong Dao Master

Zhao Xing suddenly saw many familiar names.

Besides Long Xiao, Xia Jing and Chen Shijie were also on the high-ranking list.

"Xia Jing participated as a Great Martial Arts Master from the Divine Martial Academy."

"Old Chen was recommended through the internal selection of the Kunyuan Academy."

"It seems that over these years, Xia Jing and Old Chen haven’t slackened." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

After obtaining the Dragon Emperor’s Law, the risk of entering the Dragon Court Ancient Land greatly decreased.

If the previous Dragon Court Ancient Land exploration was a life-and-death situation, now it has become a benefit scenario.

Since it’s a benefit, those 1500 slots become particularly precious.

Zhao Xing didn’t give any hint; Xia Jing and Chen Shijie got in entirely on their own merit.

"During the Ten Suns Cave Heaven period, Lu Bang from the Taicang Institute’s Agricultural Officer, Mi Fei who held an official position in the Returning Ruins Cave Heaven, are they also beneficiaries of the Green Seed Law?" Zhao Xing looked at the records of Lu Bang and Mi Fei.

Lu Bang was someone Liu Tianning originally knew and was of similar age to him.

Lu Bang also participated in Zhao Xing’s refuge plan during the later stages of Prince Liang’s rebellion, and his career progressed smoothly, now he’s a secondary third-rank official.

Mi Fei, Zhao Xing had previously reminded Liu Tianning about him, and in the thirty years of Great Governance, he was recruited into the Shangluo Academy and later served in the two Blessed Lands managed by the academy.

Now Mi Fei, although not yet a third-rank official, has reached the realm of third-grade perfection.

"In my investment list, only one person became a third-rank, and that is Yun Yi, who joined a branch of the Divine Martial Academy."

"Currently, Yun Yi serves as Deputy General in Zhao Shi Cave Heaven and has become one of the top ten Sword Immortals in Pinghai State, each with their own adventures."

Since leaving the Ten Suns Cave Heaven, Yun Yi held various positions, his talent is outstanding. Although it’s difficult to rise in rank during the Great Governance and Eternal Governance Period, he still attained the rank of fourth-rank official, and his realm has already reached third-grade perfection.

He was recommended by the Divine Martial Academy to participate in the Dragon Court Ancient Land exploration in the same batch as Xia Jing.

"However, it’s just Yun Yi for now, the rest still need to grow." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"Besides them, among the old acquaintances, there are also Ye Yuxong and King Shenluo, Bai Yunwu, Tang Yinglong, and Ao Tian."

"Tong Jin, Ji Mengjun, Jiang Chuan, and Xiao Huang haven’t come in again." Zhao Xing looked at the list. "Their mission is complete, no need to return."

He could guess that these people entered with a mission back then, to do the dirty work for Emperor Jing.

"Hmm? Wang Ji and Han Bing also made it into the mid-rank list?" Zhao Xing didn’t need to remember the mid-rank list, but he glanced at it anyway.

The mechanical master Wang Ji and Minister of Agriculture Han Bing, with whom he was familiar in the Ten Suns Cave Heaven and on the battlefield, were both listed.

"Do you want to meet them?" Ji Si asked.

"There’s no need." Zhao Xing shook his head.

If he were to meet Xia Jing and Old Chen, it might be perceived that they received special care, or someone might go out of their way to care for them, which would negate their efforts.

Any attention should be given after Emperor Jing’s demise.

"Regarding the Dragon Court, what are your plans after you enter?" Ji Si asked. "Is there hope for Yin Xiu to annex the neighboring countries and become the dominant force in the east before proceeding slowly?"

"The Gu Ting Kingdom is not suitable for starting a war now; it’s better to accumulate strength first." Zhao Xing shook his head.

He had previously told Emperor Jing that uniting the Dragon Court was impossible, so how could he go back on his word now?

"As for plans, I want to search for treasure-level plants within the Dragon Court." Zhao Xing said.

...

In August of the 60th year of Da Zhi, Zhao Xing reentered the Dragon Court Ancient Land.

Because he had the Dragon Emperor’s Law, he could enter fixed locations like Bai Yunwu and those Dragon Kings, and the positions were no longer random.

So he reappeared in the Dragon Court Ancient Land, inside the Gu Ting Royal City.

The moment he landed, Zhao Xing sensed something.

Through the Dragon Emperor’s Law, he felt the situation of the Dragon Clan in the Gu Ting Royal City.

"The Gu Ting Kingdom has another Dragon King?"

In addition to Yin Xiu and Yin Li, there was a new Dragon King in the Royal City!

"Could it be that Yin Xiu has awakened a Dragon King? Didn’t I tell him to keep a low profile?"

Zhao Xing looked around and found that compared to a hundred years ago, the number of lord-level Dragons in the Gu Ting Royal City had clearly increased.

Dragon Turtles from various places hauled ships full of materials towards the Fuming Temple, clearly actively preparing for war.

"Could it be that he misbehaved during my century of absence?"

Zhao Xing immediately used Ancestor Dragon Transformation and directly broke into the Gu Ting Palace.

In the Royal City.

Dragon King Yin Xiu’s eyes showed excitement.

"Our King has arrived!"

As soon as the words fell, a Five-clawed Golden Dragon appeared outside the palace.

Shrouded in mist, a dragon’s head emerged from the clouds, overlooking from above.

"Yin Xiu!"

"My King." Yin Xiu respectfully crouched on the ground.

"Why is there another Dragon King in the Gu Ting Kingdom? Did you awaken one without permission?" Zhao Xing’s tone was unkind. "I told you to accumulate strength, not to awaken a Dragon King."

"My King, ’Hog’ was not awakened by me; it was simply his time to awaken."

"During your absence, I annexed only two pieces of land without launching a large-scale war." Yin Xiu seemed a bit aggrieved.

Didn’t he just annex two pieces of neighboring land?

"Bring forth the records of Gu Ting Kingdom from the last hundred years." Zhao Xing roared, surrounded by flickering lightning.

If Yin Xiu lied, he’d have to showcase the power of the Dragon Emperor’s Law to knock some sense into him.

"Aww~" Yin Xiu let out a soft chant, and immediately, a multitude of stone carvings flew over, many murals and symbols flowing on them.

These not only recorded the changes of the Gu Ting Kingdom over the centuries but also those of the entire Dragon Court.
