Shennong Dao Master

Fog Walker grew up with his senior brother, Xuan Tianzi, but within the sect's nurturing-the-poisonous-competition system, what kind of emotions could there be? The training from childhood taught them nothing but how to eliminate all surrounding competitors and be the last one standing.

If it weren't for the Life Soul Oath, he would have wanted to kill Xuan Tianzi. Speaking emotionally, he wasn't close to his senior brother; having read Zhao Xing's works, he felt a reluctance to treat Zhao Xing as an enemy instead.

"This doesn't count as betraying the sect. Spiritual Energy is about to revive, and the Divine Sect is destined to strive for entry into Central Earth Divine Continent. Whoever becomes the Sect Master is irrelevant. Perhaps my senior brother will be killed, and Zhao Xing will absorb the Divine Sect, which might be better for the sect." Fog Walker thought silently.

"I hope my senior brother dies soon."

Xuantian God Venerate never imagined that his little brother had such thoughts. After contemplating the previous match for a moment and noticing no immediate arrivals at Gulu Star, he resumed studying how to break through.

...

Just as Ling Tianchen analyzed, Xuantian God Venerate didn't have the energy to drive them away each time. Unable to kill them instantly, such efforts became futile.

After three months, even Fog Walker suggested to Xuantian God Venerate: "Senior brother, the urgent matter is to obtain the inheritance from Outer Heaven Visitor Qing Yu Zi."

"We keep driving them away; is it to let Hua Baotian Venerable from Great Snake Country reap the benefits?"

"If he ultimately obtains the inheritance, wouldn't it all be in vain?"

Xuantian God Venerate thought this reasoning sound and thus followed Fog Walker's advice.

And as Liu Tianning also regained a portion of his strength on Gulu Star, it became even more difficult for him. Thus, he completely abandoned the idea of driving others away and focused on breaking through.

Of course, he still occasionally engaged in fights to verify the results of his cultivation.

In such a cycle, time passed, and in the blink of an eye, another two and a half years had gone by.

...

Gulu Star, on a patch of grass. The figure of Hua Baotian Venerable, plump and bearded, fell heavily to the ground.

His hair was disheveled, with only a few strands left, blown by the wind.

"Mr. Zhao." Hua Baotian Venerable quickly got up, showing a smile as he looked toward the young man ahead: "I only wish to learn the heavenly methods, and I have no intention of obtaining the ultimate inheritance. Please, Mr. Zhao, show mercy. The two countries are friendly allies..."

"Enough, I'm letting you practice against me, why such nonsense." Zhao Xing interrupted, "Fight with full strength, don't pretend to be weak."

Hua Baotian Venerable held back his inner anger, continuously nodding: "Yes, as you say."

There was no choice; he had to bow down.

Great Snake Country was the first to make deals with Great Zhou! Even though later the entire Outer Alliance did so, Great Snake Country was always looked down upon in the Outer Alliance.

Bowing to Great Zhou first, wasn't that stabbing an ally in the back?

Nowadays, although there are many people on Gulu Star, and many are 'allies', Hua Baotian Venerable was beaten, and basically, no one helped him, only gloating.

Hua Baotian Venerable didn't dare show a sour face because Liu Tianning, Wang Tianzhi, and Ling Tianchen were watching nearby.

"Endure, I must endure, this is all for the future of the empire." Hua Baotian Venerable felt humiliated inside, but outwardly he maintained a smile and leaned forward.

"Boom!" Zhao Xing clapped his hands, and two gusts of wind rushed to strangle Hua Baotian Venerable.

On Gulu Star, he practiced most against Great Snake Country's Minister of Agriculture, because only when fighting him, the people of the Outer Alliance wouldn't help, naturally making him a target for practice.

...

After beating Hua Baotian Venerable, Zhao Xing returned under the tree, summarizing his insights. The source of this content ɪs n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net

"Now, after breaking through the gray chains, the life structure diagram of the Sky Gush Beast is ninety percent complete."

"With Lao Liu, Old Wang, and Lao Ling verifying with each other, the completion speed increased quickly, and within two and a half years, nine-tenths of strength was restored."

At this point, Zhao Xing, except for having a tail on his rear, and slight puffiness on the head, was completely human in shape.

Even at the peak strength of Marquis Transformation, he could maintain this state.

Actually, he could remove the tail already, but kept it mainly for show to the competitors.

"Now it's the beginning of the eighth year of Yuan Shou, and the people entering Gulu Star have reached fifty-two." Zhao Xing glanced around. "Almost all the talented Ministers of Agriculture in the Xuanhuang Realm are here."

"The greatest threat to me is probably only Xuantian God Venerate."

"The two crazies from the Heavenly Realm, their speed isn't slow, and their progress can probably match Wang and Ling."

Zhao Xing's gaze fell on two people not far off, one being Wind Immortal of the Heavenly Realm, and the other Rain Immortal.

Currently, the two were lying together, murmuring, seemingly playing, hardly serious.

"Currently, the fastest should be me, Xuantian God Venerate."

"Second fastest is Liu Tianning. Although he doesn't practice Marquis Transformation Method, he is dissolving Marquis Transformation through Life Domain, and this method's progress is astonishing, as well as that mysterious figure ranked fifth in coming."

"The third tier includes Fog Walker, Wang Tianzhi, Ling Tianchen, Wind Immortal, Rain Immortal, and the seemingly weak Hua Baotian Venerable."

Zhao Xing's gaze fell on the mountain peak in the distance, where a woman dressed in sea-blue vestment robe with a veil stood.

"Where did she come from? The court can't find where she emerged from; neither can the sect world, Southern Barbarians, nor Great Snake Country trace her." Zhao Xing mused. For five years, all they knew was this Female Chief Minister of Agriculture was called 'Spirit Butterfly Fairy.'

She never engaged in fights; if anyone challenged her, she would just leave Gulu Star.
