Shennong Dao Master

"Senior, I have nothing of value on me. The quota I bought to get in here has already consumed my liquid assets, so only these eight hammers are worth anything. Please accept them as my apology."

"Hmph, where are you from? Your skills are mediocre but your temper is quite large." In fact, the power of Lord Ya Shi was already quite impressive.

The Qi Sect Martial Artists Zhao Xing encountered rarely made good use of weapons, but Lord Ya Shi, despite not being at the Emperor Level, could still confront a Mid Emperor with his weapons.

"Senior, I am from Liu Fang Country," Lord Ya Shi admitted honestly. "A epoch ago, I responded to the Empire’s call and participated in the ’Rice River War.’ I met a friend from the War God Hall, ’Emperor Sha Yu.’ I earned some merits during that time, and after exchanging them, I went into seclusion."

"It was also because my friend, Emperor Sha Yu, reminded me this time that I came out for a venture into the ruins. I had no intention to kill earlier, I was just annoyed."

"If not for that, you would have already been dead." Zhao Xing could see clearly that the other party had no killing intent, which was the reason he spared Lord Ya Shi’s life.

The ’spiritual Qi’ emerging from the Void River is an important source for irrigating many grain star systems in the south.

A epoch ago, a great battle took place between the Empire and the Ten Thousand River Demon Country over the void waterway on the southern borders, with Liu Fang Country being a tributary kingdom of the Empire in the south.

"I can spare you and won’t take your wealth, but you must protect me."

Lord Ya Shi was rather strong; if he could hold up the Marquis Transformation Array to create a safe area, Zhao Xing’s comprehension speed could be faster.

"Thank you, senior, Ya Shi is willing to serve." Lord Ya Shi was overjoyed.

"From what you said, are there many other people on these forty-nine islands?" Zhao Xing inquired.

After two hundred years, he didn’t know how many people had come to Extreme Star Island. He spent his effort honing his cultivation technique in the first three layers, while some might have gone straight to the higher levels for comprehension.

"I’m not sure exactly, but there should be quite a few," Lord Ya Shi said. "Most of them are Emperor Level entering together, usually with a Minister of Agriculture paired with a Guardian Strong Person, or a Doctor paired with a strong person."

"Senior is not the first to come to me; over the past one hundred and eighty years, I’ve seen fifty-three people."

Being disturbed frequently, Lord Ya Shi was unable to comprehend anything, which was why he acted impulsively.

Being bothered by several waves, he finally encountered a soft target and decided to vent his frustration, but unexpectedly ran into an iron barrier. Not able to clear it nor escape, he intended to die boldly hoping maybe using the Reincarnation Technique could give him a sliver of hope.

"Have so many people come?" Zhao Xing was a bit surprised. He clearly informed Meng Wu of the War God Hall through his avatar.

Do outsiders think he wants to monopolize the benefits?

The more warnings, the more they come?

"It seems to have backfired, but, as Emperor Fu Zhi obtained a divine object, perhaps another divine object might appear." Zhao Xing quickly understood.

When a divine object caused so many strong people to gather at the Yuanhai Conference before, it is the same now. Danger? If strong people fear death, they wouldn’t reach such high realms.

"A hundred years ago, the Heavenly Master Mansion stated that if someone carries a top-grade Reincarnation Dao Soldier, entering the second level even without clearing it, they could escape using the Reincarnation Technique by sacrificing a top-grade Lifebound Dao Soldier." Lord Ya Shi provided another piece of information.

Zhao Xing closed his eyes to sense carefully, and soon, using the avatar outside confirmed this message quickly.

A top-grade Reincarnation Dao Soldier could certainly escape through reincarnation.

If it’s any other grade, then it’s merely possible.

"No wonder you only have some hammers; you’ve stored your assets outside, I suppose." Zhao Xing laughed.

"Not really," Lord Ya Shi said with an embarrassed smile. "I’m naturally poor, unable to afford top-grade and superior treasures."

"Alright, first take me to see the Life Dao Map on this island. If I can pass through, I’ll take you out with me."

"Yes, senior, please follow me."

...

Lord Ya Shi named this island Yash Stone Island, on which there is a Life Dao Map of the Divine Feather Clan.

It is said during the Feather Emperor Era, the Divine Emperor ’Yu’ married a strong figure from the Demon God Hall, bringing ten epochs of peace between the Human Clan and Demon Race.

After that, the descendants of the Feather Emperor and the Demon Race thrived on their fiefdom, gradually enlarging, leading to the birth of a new race, the Divine Feather Clan.

Zhao Xing realized from the [Divine Feather Life Dao Map] and quickly entered into a scenario similar to the Enlightenment Realm for scholars.

The first thing that came into view was a pair of pristine white wings.

"Legend has it Princess Yu Yao possesses seven wings, but here there is only one pair, each feather has a hundred thousand and eight thousand filaments, with each feather containing the Great Dao Law. Here, there are only thirty-seven thousand filaments."

"It seems Venerable Bai Han did not capture a very high-grade Divine Feather Clan member." Zhao Xing comprehended the Daoistic charm on it.

His back unconsciously itched, and by the seventh month, a pair of fleshy wings grew, albeit with red feathers.

Lord Ya Shi watched in amazement: "To grow wings in just seven months, the comprehension speed is so fast. Which senior from the Empire is this exactly? Why have I never heard of him."

Zhao Xing attempted a flight, and then somewhat dissatisfied returned to the comprehension area.

"It won’t work, combining with the Demon Ape Clan’s physique is overcomplicating. Although it does speed up somewhat, it still encounters blockage while executing the ’Shattering Realm Palm.’ No matter how I adjust, it ultimately is one thousand Infinite Time slower than without wings. Clearly, this Marquis Transformation combination is imperfect."
