Shennong Dao Master

After entering the fourth layer, Zhao Xing encountered someone familiar.

"Jixia Palace Master?"

Zhao Xing saw a large Moon Spirit Cat lying beneath the blue cloud layer in the center of the floating island. It had a crescent moon mark on its forehead, and its fur emitted mana of various colors. Its body was draped in a Four Seasons Magic Robe, and it was wearing a green vine crown.

The Jixia Palace Master was a ruler of one of the top Heavenly Time Sect powers, the Four Seasons Palace, within the Red Star Empire’s territory, at the peak of Emperor-level realm.

One of Zhao Xing’s Taichu Avatars went to search for the Heavenly Time Technique, with the first stop at the Four Seasons Palace.

After the Demigod Cave Mansion opened, Jixia Palace Master also bought a place through Zhao Xing.

"Zhao Xing?" Jixia Palace Master was licking his wounds, and upon seeing someone approach, he immediately turned his head to look.

"Palace Master, you’re injured?" Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised, as there was a pitch-black crack on the left side of Jixia Palace Master’s body, nearly splitting him in half.

"Yes, I was injured by the array on the fifth layer," Jixia Palace Master did not hide it, pointing with a cat paw to the fifth layer floating island above.

"The Marquis Transformation Array on the fifth layer couldn’t even withstand you?" Zhao Xing was shocked.

"I don’t primarily cultivate the Marquis Transformation Method; my main techniques are Cloud and Rain," Jixia Palace Master sighed. "Originally, I could withstand the array on the fifth layer, but the Life Dao Map on the fifth layer was very intricate. It’s a life structure I’ve never seen before, and unknowingly, my focus was all on trying to comprehend it, causing me to forget resisting the Marquis Transformation Array..."

The premise of comprehension is to withstand the Marquis Transformation Array on the floating island.

Jixia Palace Master could barely resist the fifth layer’s floating island array, but it required full concentration and effort.

He also divided his attention to comprehend it, thus naturally getting injured by the floating island’s Marquis Transformation Array.

He had to retreat back to the floating island on the fourth layer to recover his injuries.

"That really is a profound Life Dao Map, and if I could thoroughly comprehend it, I would die willingly..." As he spoke, Jixia Palace Master even forgot about his wounds and began reminiscing, falling into a state of intoxication.

"To learn the Dao in the morning, one can die at dusk!"

The treasure left behind by the Cave Mansion Master held fatal temptation for someone like Jixia Palace Master from the Heavenly Time Sect’s Agriculture, even willing to sacrifice his life!

"The fifth layer..." Zhao Xing stood and gazed upward.

The Marquis Transformation Array on the fifth layer transformed the Emperor Tianwu into a monster and intoxicated the Jixia Palace Master, giving him the impulse to charge up and investigate.

However, he restrained himself.

He was no match for Jixia Emperor and Emperor Tianwu, and rashly entering the fifth layer could lead to unfavorable outcomes.

"First comprehend all forty-nine floating islands on the fourth layer, and then go to the fifth layer." Zhao Xing saw that Jixia Palace Master had stopped responding to him, so he silently moved to the center of the floating island to examine the Life Dao Map of the fourth layer.

"Buzz~"

Sunlight descended through the clouds, and a painting slowly unfolded. Compared to the previous three layers, this Life Dao Map was more complex and unfamiliar to the Human Clan’s life origins.

"Feels like I’ve seen an advanced form of rock life on the first three layers."

Zhao Xing worked hard to piece together and restore the life form.

The Dao Map in front of him seemed to turn into a tree diagram. The first three layers were the roots with countless branches, and now he saw a higher-level trunk.

"The Rock God Giant Race is already extinct, like the Deep Sea Demon Race. Not sure which branch I’m looking at." Zhao Xing was constantly exploring.

He named this Life Dao Map [Rock God Life Dao Map].

About four months later, Zhao Xing felt he still had some capacity for comprehending the [Rock God Life Dao Map], so he divided an avatar to visit the remaining eight floating islands.

"Whoosh!"

When Zhao Xing landed on another island on the fourth layer, a mountain suddenly flew over from the island, smashing toward him.

"Hmm?"

Zhao Xing immediately cast spells.

"Fragment! Break the wall!"

The heavy mountain was instantly divided into eight parts, then continuously shattered and shrank, with the remaining debris no longer posing a threat.

"Clatter-clatter-clatter-clatter!" A stream of rubble impacted the Taichu Avatar’s body, all shattering.

Zhao Xing’s current Taichu Avatar was constructed from materials of the Reincarnation Soldier Level, sourced from the Void Ancestor Star System.

Even the backups were of Mid-grade Reincarnation Daoist Soldier Level, and the strongest ten were made with up to thirty percent top-grade materials.

Giant Sun, Taixu, Taichu in this series of Grassmen corresponds to the Void Ancestor Body, naturally having strong defense.

"Whoosh!"

A mountain peak shattered, and a larger mountain peak came crashing over.

Zhao Xing’s eyebrows furrowed.

Clearly, someone on the island does not wish to share the Life Dao Map with others.

Using such a crude method as throwing mountain peaks indicates a Martial Artist from the Qi Sect.

This Qi Sect Martial Artist was somewhat formidable, as their breath, Qi-Blood, and even spirit couldn’t be sensed at all.

"I don’t know which senior is here; I am Zhao Xing from the Imperial Origin Realm..."

After dodging the second mountain peak, Zhao Xing called out to his surroundings.

He hoped, relying on his fame, that he could negotiate with the person.

However, the other party did not respond. The third wave of attack consisted of eight mountain peaks suddenly crashing over.

"Boom!"

A trace of Evil Qi flashed in Zhao Xing’s eyes, surrounded by blue flames, rushing out of the mountain.

Since coming to the Empire, Zhao Xing was first suppressed under Five-Finger Mountain by Wu Tian for five hundred years, then trapped for a hundred and eighty years rescuing Emperor Hongshan at Stacked Realm Mountain.

Going to the Transmission Building, a Taichu Avatar was crushed by a mountain in the Divine Pattern Area of the Void Ancestor Shedding Bone.

Zhao Xing truly despises the feeling of being crushed by a mountain.

"No matter who you are, I’m warning you, stop using mountains to crush me!"
