Infinite Professions

Therefore, Xingyi Martial Mansion would adopt a dual-pronged approach towards him, both nurturing and investigating him.

Shen Hex didn’t mind them investigating him. After all, a just person fears no shadows. Although he had many unspeakable secrets, he hadn’t colluded with the Evil God. As long as he didn’t cross this line, a bit of abnormality was perfectly acceptable.

Secrets, in this world, who doesn’t have secrets?

...

In this manner, a planet was assigned to Shen Hex’s name.

Although this was somewhat unfair and showed obvious favoritism towards Shen Hex, Nine Yang Dance didn’t entirely neglect others, offering them gifts. Although they couldn’t match the value of a planet, they were considerable. After all, as a Martial God, even a meager wealth was beyond ordinary comparison.

The matter between master and apprentice was thus settled.

"Pack your things and come with me to move to Xianglong Star."

Nine Yang Dance casually concocted a reason to send Zhong Qin and the others out of the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm, leaving Shen Hex alone with herself.

"He’Er, do you know why I have kept you behind, what I wish to say?"

Once Zhong Qin and the others left, Nine Yang Dance let her demeanor relax further, placing one hand on Shen Hex’s chest, drawing closer, her breath fragrant, alluring gaze, words full of seduction.

Shen Hex’s expression remained unchanged: "Please, Master, instruct me."

"Good!!!"

Seeing his calm demeanor, Nine Yang Dance broke into a smile. Her posture instantly shifted, casually draping her arm around his shoulder: "Not even affected by my beauty, such resolve will surely resist the temptation of those Evil Demons!"

Shen Hex: "..."

"Haha!"

Seeing his speechless look, Nine Yang Dance laughed again and then grew serious: "The tree standing out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Your performance is too dazzling, which will surely attract jealousy from others. Coupled with those ubiquitous Evil Demons, you must be cautious in your actions to avoid falling into secret traps."

Having said this, she removed an item from around her neck: "This Nine Yang Jade is linked to my heartfelt blood. Wear it to respond to me anytime, and it can be used for protection against enemies."

Shen Hex took a look at it; it was a Waterdrop Jade Pendant, rendered in gold and red—like a Phoenix’s blood drop.

Although he had many methods to preserve life, he had no reason to refuse such a protective item, immediately thanking: "Thank you, Master."

"Between you and me, no need for thanks."

Nine Yang Dance laughed: "Your Spirit Control Martial Monarch profession can utilize Spirit Beasts to aid cultivation. I have several Spirit Beasts under my command. Choose a batch later, or if it’s insufficient, you can purchase more using academic credits; I’ll provide you access."

"Additionally, I’ve already set things up on Chongguang Star. There’s a teleportation array connecting Xianglong Star and my Cave Mansion. While it’s fine to keep Spirit Beasts there, it’s safer to cultivate on Xianglong Star."

"Your martial arts, speaking in terms of basics, have reached near perfection, requiring no further polishing. Next, focus on advancing your realm, improving cultivation. I’ll further supplement your learning, refining the skills of Xingyi Martial Arts and the subtleties of Divine Intent..."

Nine Yang Dance laid out her arrangements entirely.

Despite her casual demeanor, she arranged everything meticulously, considering all aspects, befitting a Martial God.

Shen Hex made no objections and agreed directly.

Thus...

Time rushed by, another month passed.

A factory was built on Chongguang Star.

Amidst blue mountains and green waters, Shen Hex sat alone, scattering feed, feeding ten thousand beasts.

Before arrival, he had already packed the Spirit Beasts from Cyan Mountain Breeding Farm, plus those designated by Nine Yang Dance and another batch purchased using academic credits, bringing the number to millions with livestock herds in the billions.

This was only the beginning; further development would continue. With the size of Chongguang Star, combined with his resources, along with investment from Nine Yang Dance and Xingyi Martial Mansion, raising tens of millions of Spirit Beasts was unequivocally feasible.

Tens of millions of Spirit Beasts translate to tens of millions of followers. Under the professional effect of [Ten Thousand Emperors·Ziwei Star], an ocean of divine incense would converge, elevating his Divine Dao Rank, enhancing Immortal Dao, Martial Dao, and various Dharma Gates.

Not only does the Spirit Beasts provide incense but also secondary materials, the professional effect of Ten Thousand Emperors·Ziwei Star blooms completely—Immortal Martial Divine Spirit, all arts and crafts, each contributes.

With such a foundation, his Divine Dao Cultivation would quickly rise, paralleling Immortal Martial, allowing for the completion of the Unity of the Three Methods’ Great Dao Fruit.

Moreover, he was unapologetic, utilizing [Daoist Palace Master]’s professional ability to transform Chongguang Star into Longevity Immortal Blessed Land, improving effects in Hidden Cultivation, life nurturing, Gathering Spirit, and Beast Taming.

Suspicion?

Shen Hex expressed that it was part of his [Celestial Traveler] professional ability, unrelated to other professions, whether you believe it or not.

Just as before, as long as he didn’t associate with the Evil God, the Martial Mansion was exceedingly lenient on many matters. This Chongguang Star was now his private property, transferred to him, acting as desired without violating Empire laws—what’s strange about that?

Longevity Immortal Blessed Land, Cyan Mountain Breeding Farm, this Chongguang Star became his second foundation in the present world, echoing with Yunlan Star. If he secured another, it would form a "three burrows" strategy, ensuring leverage for both advance and retreat!

Though busy with the breeding business, he didn’t neglect other affairs. First, he took Zhong Qin and others to report on Xianglong Star, bringing Shen Qingyue under Nine Yang Dance’s tutelage, then improved his martial arts merits under Nine Yang Dance’s guidance.

Martial Dao has been his foundation and has been cultivated tirelessly over the years. Whether in the Great Zhou World or Spirit Control Realm, efforts were ceaseless, breaking through barriers, continuing after entering the Taiyuan Realm with simultaneous cultivation of Immortal Martial, cultivating Taiyuan Body in Immortality and martial arts, consistently enhancing Martial Dao cultivation using "Borrowing Illusion for Cultivation" methods.

Based on this, his Martial Arts Merits were near perfect.

But near perfection was only that—still some seemingly insignificant flaws existed, which his realm couldn’t mend.

Nine Yang Dance, being a Martial God, offered tremendous help, providing deep understanding of Xingyi Divine Martial, leading to a new realm.

This is the advantage of having a mentor.

In the journey of cultivation, the accomplished lead. Although mentally, with multiple lives experiences drenched in hardships, he might be older than Nine Yang Dance, he didn’t mind respecting her as master and accepting her guidance.

Thus, a month passed amidst cultivation, beast nurturing, and infrastructure tasks.

A month of busyness led to things neither fully settled nor on a proper track, transitioning smoothly as planned thereafter.

Xingyi Martial Mansion’s current main cultivation plan for him was to elevate his cultivation for self-preservation strength.

Before this, no tasks would be assigned, nor would he leave the Mansion’s confines, avoiding unexpected dangers.

Thus, Shen Hex was busy, yet bored.

But no matter, reality boring, dreams are exhilarating.

Taiyuan Body remained in arduous cultivation, utilizing "Borrowing Illusion for Cultivation" methods, probing newly acquired Divine Dao techniques.

Therefore, the primary development was in the Divine Dao World.

Returning to the present world, months had passed. According to the time flow of one to one hundred, decades had gone by in the Divine Dao World.

Upon his return, the Divine Dao Body had already secured Jinyang, defeating Xiao Chen’s Hidden Dragon seeking restoration ascension, forming an opposing stance along with Weishui River Dragon Monarch, Jinling Prefect, and Lanruo Old Demon, those three Third Grade Ghost Gods.

Now, decades later, what changes had occurred in the situation? After being thwarted, what of Xiao Chen’s Hidden Dragon and the waning Chen Dynasty? What developments had occurred among various deities, demons, and monsters?

Then there’s the matter of the Dragon Struggle: Has Xiao Chen’s restoration-aspiring Hidden Dragon setback emboldened other third and second-grade Great Gods, possibly even first graders, to join the dragon-race contest?

Many conflicts—one can hardly encapsulate in words.

Yet chaos breeds opportunity. Experiencing the wonders of Divine Dao in this realm, Shen Hex was determined to claim it.

Thus...

After casting the final feed, he then let the spirit beasts assist each other, beasts guiding beasts, self-feeding.

Shen Hex closed his eyes, body remaining on the blue stone, consciousness once again soaring.
