Shennong Dao Master

In the realm of Emperor level battles, a thousand Infinite Time, which is one-thousandth of a second, is already a notable duration.

"Perhaps I should try integrating with the Thunder Peng Clan..." Zhao Xing muttered to himself and sat down to continue comprehending the scroll.

Lord Ya Shi dutifully maintained the Qi Blood Barrier to prevent the Marquis Transformation Array from affecting Zhao Xing.

Thirty years quickly passed.

During his comprehension, Zhao Xing’s understanding of the Life Dao grew rapidly, and he occasionally acquired some Secret Techniques.

He even shared some of these Secret Techniques with Lord Ya Shi, leading to significant progress for Lord Ya Shi.

As the Minister of Agriculture, Zhao Xing took the opportunity to plant some tasty spiritual plants on the floating island.

Since the fifth layer is so difficult, the sixth layer would be even more daunting, and success is bound to be a prolonged struggle.

Most of the people who entered cannot rely entirely on the spiritual supplies they brought, so they began claiming territories and absorbing the island’s spiritual energy to prepare for long-term survival.

Zhao Xing also planned to use Yash Stone Island as a base, should his comprehension of the fifth layer be unfavorable, allowing him to retreat and recuperate.

With food and drink readily available, and rewards from cultivation, Lord Ya Shi became increasingly diligent and respectful towards Zhao Xing.

....

By the thirty-fifth year, Zhao Xing’s comprehension of both the Rock God Life Dao Map and the Divine Feather Life Dao Map hit a bottleneck, prompting him to finally decide to move to a different location.

Lord Ya Shi was too weak and knew little about individuals on the fourth layer’s forty-nine floating islands, but Jixia Palace Master was well-informed.

Thirty years have passed, and Jixia Palace Master is still recuperating, though much improved.

Jixia Palace Master said, "Venerable Bai Han has calculated everything thoroughly; Emperor-level figures need to occupy islands on the fourth layer to ensure sufficient spiritual energy replenishment for survival."

"As time progresses, the competition for islands on the first four layers will become increasingly fierce."

"If you wish to visit other islands, you could start with ’Sea Star Island,’ which is the territory of Black Sea Emperor and Emperor Xing."

Black Sea Emperor is the Vice Alliance Hierarch of Mirage Sea Alliance, father to Zhu Haichao, while Emperor Xing hails from Zi Wu Heavenly Time Hall as one of the Hall Masters and grandfather to Jiang Tiansu, all connected through familial ties, arranging Zhao Xing’s entry purchase.

Zhao Xing previously delayed for half a year when negotiating with them.

"The Extreme Star Floating Island space at the second checkpoint is vast, continually rotating; follow the route I laid out, and you can safely arrive in roughly half a month."

"Understood, thank you, Palace Master, for the guidance." Zhao Xing promptly set off.

Following Jixia Palace Master’s direction, indeed half a month later, he saw a starry sky with a dark yellow floating island emerging from the void clouds.

Observing its location, Zhao Xing realized the Emperors indeed chose well; Sea Star Island is among the more hidden positions of the fourth layer’s forty-nine islands.

"Who goes there?!"

Upon landing at the island’s edge, a voice immediately challenged him.

"Seniors, I am Zhao Xing."

Zhao Xing halted his movements, stating his identity.

"Swish, swish~"

Black Sea Alliance Leader and Xuexing Hall Master appeared in unison, confirming it was indeed Zhao Xing, and invited him inside.

"It truly is you, Zhao Xing. How did you find this place?"

"By Jixia Palace Master’s guidance." Zhao Xing replied with a bow.

"I see." Black Sea Alliance Leader inquired, "Is his condition completely healed?"

"Not yet fully." Zhao Xing shook his head, "The Marquis Transformation Array’s power on the fifth layer is immense; injuries ’transform’ persistently from life’s origin level, recovery is very slow."

"Venerable Bai Han is terrifying, able to construct such a formidable Marquis Transformation Realm." Xuexing Hall Master remarked, "I have been here for two hundred and seven years but remain cautious on the fifth layer; even the longest time I sustained was thirty-seven days, never daring to divert any attention to comprehension."

Could Xuexing Hall Master only endure thirty-seven days on the fifth layer’s nine floating islands? Zhao Xing mused.

"Zhao Xing, you mustn’t go to the fifth layer." Xuexing Hall Master advised. "Wait until someone clears it, and we can leave together; otherwise, you’d face forced reincarnation."

"Certainly." Zhao Xing nodded; he naturally wouldn’t go until he was prepared for the fifth layer; it would be reckless otherwise.

Even the mighty Emperor Tianwu was forever left on the fifth layer’s floating island.

"Seniors, do you know who has lasted the longest on the fifth layer’s floating island?" Zhao Xing inquired.

"I’m unsure of specifics." Black Sea Alliance Leader shook his head, "but there are four individuals who stayed the longest: Juan Carlos, Sword Monarch Ye Liuxin, Emperor Chixiao, and another unidentified mysterious figure."

"Xuexing and I have ascended the fifth layer seventy-five times, continuously seeing these four individuals."

Zhao Xing nodded.

Among the four, disregarding the mysterious figure, Juan Carlos is renowned, the legitimate son of a demigod, a mechanical warrior.

Sword Monarch Ye Liuxin is very famous in the empire’s south; the Yash Stone Island battle involving Lord Ya Shi was led by him.

As for Emperor Chixiao, an ’old acquaintance,’ he was one of nine Emperors at the Yuanhai Ancient Country’s gathering, including the Heavenly Time Sect’s Agriculture Minister, who is Emperor Chixiao.

"Alright, enough of this. Zhao Xing, are you here to comprehend the Life Dao Map? The life map on this floating island is fascinating, you will definitely be interested." Black Sea Alliance Leader smiled.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Zhao Xing indeed became intrigued.

"Swish, swish, swish~"

Cloud qi surged beneath their feet, instantly transporting them to the island’s center, shrouded this time by golden clouds.

Upon entering, a golden light descended, interweaving into part of a scroll, slowly unfolding.

"Roar~"

Zhao Xing first heard a sound, then saw a purple-scaled object resembling fish scales.

Gradually appeared a creature with horns like a deer, neck like a snake, claws like an eagle, paws like a tiger, and head like a camel.

Zhao Xing instinctively pieced together its bloodline structure map, subsequently jolting in surprise, detaching from contemplation.

"Haha, how is it?" Black Sea Alliance Leader asked, smiling, "Does this species resemble one of your Great Zhou’s native species? We haven’t seen it elsewhere before."

Speechless, Zhao Xing felt a familiar resonance signaling kinship.

This wasn’t merely similar; it was the Xuanhuang Realm’s Ascended Dragon Clan bloodline!
