Shennong Dao Master

But still, there is no sign of grinding Zhao Xing to death.

"What kind of Marquis Transformation Method is this, and which race is it transforming into, to be able to resist mind attacks while also having such a tough body?"

Bo Qiu wanted to engage in a war of attrition because he truly needed an island for survival, yet up to now, Zhao Xing’s mana hasn’t diminished much.

If Zhao Xing isn’t dealt with, achieving the goal is impossible, and even dragging things out might lead to his own power being exhausted first, unable to maintain the Heart Spirit Abyss, possibly even being counter-killed.

"Hmph, don’t get cocky. If it weren’t for my carelessness in losing an attack magic artifact on ’Li Star Island,’ you would have been dead by now!"

"I’ll let you go today. However, you’d better stay together always, or just wait for death!"

Jiao Yuan Snake launched one last attack, and seeing no hope, decisively retreated.

"Finally gone!" Seeing Jiao Yuan Snake retreat, the two Emperors collectively sighed in relief. Staring at the Heart Spirit Abyss, the feeling of mind influence was genuinely uncomfortable.

"Zhao Xing, we owe it to you. If it weren’t for your reminder, I might have been forced into reincarnation by now." Emperor Xing expressed gratitude.

"No need for formalities, seniors. Without you two, I wouldn’t have been able to hold on for so long."

If Emperor Xing and Black Sea Emperor hadn’t remembered to take him along during their retreat, he wouldn’t have been able to keep holding on. After all, Jiao Yuan Snake was too troublesome, delivering a mind weakening right off the bat, leaving neither able to fully exert their strength against Bo Qiu.

If the two hadn’t originally planned to save him, Zhao Xing would surely have immediately used his Taichu Avatar to escape, rather than continuing to fight Jiao Yuan Snake.

"Two seniors, what is the ’Li Star Island’ that Bo Qiu mentioned?" Zhao Xing asked.

"The five-layered nine floating islands not only have Life Dao Map but also conceal ancient magic artifacts." Black Sea Emperor explained, "These artifacts could be anywhere on the islands; the longer you stay, the greater the chance of discovering the artifacts."

"Ancient magic artifacts are quite distinct from the reincarnation soldiers of our era."

"Each ancient magic artifact rivals the power of top-grade reincarnation soldiers, with some even surpassing top-grade ones, although ancient artifacts aren’t as good as divine objects."

Zhao Xing realized, in the era where Venerable Bai Han lived, the universe was still in the mid-early stage of the Myriad Phenomena period, with a stronger origin.

Whether reincarnation soldiers or ancient magic artifacts, both employ artifact refining techniques to unleash the power of the great origin within certain materials.

It’s not that modern artifact refiners are inferior to those of ancient times, it’s purely due to environment and materials.

The principle is akin to the Earth Advantage Sect’s inability to organize defense effectively during the changes of Stacked Realm Mountain, as the fluctuations of earth veins in the Mesozoic era were different, causing many Geographical Advantage Sect Ministers of Agriculture to fail.

Therefore, ancient magic artifacts surpass reincarnation soldiers overall.

"During your thirteen years of comprehension, seventeen battles occurred in the fifth layer, all due to ancient magic artifacts coming forth." Emperor Xing looked at the sky, "However, other than those four strong individuals, no one can stay in the fifth layer for long."

"Most of the seventeen ancient magic artifacts went to those four."

"Bo Qiu probably acquired one ancient magic artifact but ended up losing it."

"And Li Star Island is the name of the island where Emperor Tianwu’s transformation occurred."

Black Sea Emperor remarked, "Emperor Tianwu, dispatched by the Primordial Heavenly Palace to handle mundane affairs, is extremely powerful. If he discovered Marquis Transformation Law to be overly powerful on Li Star Island, escaping would still be possible."

"Many speculate Emperor Tianwu’s permanent stay on the island might have been due to discovering some powerful ancient artifacts, which caused him to become greedy, ultimately getting trapped."

Zhao Xing also looked towards Li Star Island’s direction. Viewing the fifth layer’s Li Star Island from Sea Star Island, because of trajectory operations, it was too far from Sea Star Island, merely a light spot, yet still the brightest one.

"Ancient magic artifacts surpass reincarnation soldiers but aren’t comparable to divine objects. Due to the ancient nature of their paths, many suffer losses under ancient magic artifacts."

"Everyone desires such artifacts, and many suspect Li Star Island houses powerful ancient artifacts, but those who go there return empty-handed because the monster Emperor Tianwu, transformed, guards it, making acquiring ancient artifacts more challenging."

"Not only must one face the danger of Marquis Transformation but also the attacks from transformed Emperor Tianwu, making Li Star Island the most perilous place in the fifth layer."

Hearing the emperors’ introduction, Zhao Xing felt a stirring of thoughts.

"Now I’ve mastered Group Dragon Transformation, the Marquis Transformation Method has progressed, even Emperor Xing and Black Sea Emperor can stay in the fifth layer for several dozen days, I might manage to last even longer."

"Time waits for no one. If more people keep coming, who knows if we’ll encounter another monstrous opponent like Jiao Yuan Snake."

Zhao Xing decided to explore the fifth layer soon.

But Jiao Yuan Snake had just left, he also feared it might return suddenly, losing Sea Star Island, his base for survival.

Given the current situation, he definitely needed to abandon either Yash Stone Floating Island or Sea Star Island, so it would be better to move in with the two emperors.

So, Zhao Xing relocated Lord Ya Shi here, then quietly cultivated on Sea Star Island, continually strengthening Qinghua Magical Power and Red Lotus Magical Power, while also refining Group Dragon Transformation.

In the thirteenth year, Yash Stone Floating Island remained untouched, with no visitors, Zhao Xing left an avatar to quietly observe the floating island trajectory of the fifth layer.

After twenty-one years had passed, both islands remained calm, Jiao Yuan Snake never returned.

In the twenty-seventh year, Jixia Palace Master finally completed healing and also arrived at Sea Star Island.

In the thirty-sixth year, autumn moon.

At this moment, viewing the fifth layer from Yash Stone Island, the nearest floating island ’Crescent Island’, its mountains, lakes, and trees are clearly visible, also the time when the fifth layer’s floating island is closest to the four lower layers.

Zhao Xing’s avatar on Yash Stone Island felt something deep within, suddenly looking up towards a particular mountain peak on Crescent Island.

A golden glimmer flashed by.

"An ancient magic artifact has surfaced!" Zhao Xing felt a surge of excitement, immediately realizing that a treasure had emerged on Crescent Island.

He no longer waited, immediately transmitting his true form, rushing towards Crescent Island together with Jixia Palace Master.
