Chapter 1069: Chapter 70: Meeting Emperor Jing, Promotion and Ennoblement!
Cold, dark, twisted starlight reflected on the dragon scale, the dragon scale quickly faded, revealing wheat-colored skin.
"Burned here, red there, white in spots, just like after cupping therapy. Well, this Heavenly Mechanism Robe and Calendar have been burned to ashes." Zhao Xing patted twice, and ash sifted down from his body.
The power of the Fu Ming Furnace was too great; even though Zhao Xing had broken through to the second grade, it still scorched his skin.
Luckily, after entering the Yin Realm, the cold aura suppressed the furnace, and without the sea of fire to temper it, the outer layer of the furnace gradually cooled down.
"Last time the whole Primordial Soul came in, even the physique entered; the warship’s Yin and Yang traversal function is truly strong." Zhao Xing examined his surroundings.
The Ancient Yin Warship drifted aimlessly, its viewport was a patch of mottled darkness, and Zhao Xing discovered it was sailing amidst ’yin clouds’.
After treating his injuries, Zhao Xing walked to the helm at the bow, and inserted the Shang Tang Order.
"Buzz~" The helm rose a notch higher, Zhao Xing’s Primordial Soul left his body, imprinting his hands into the recessed slot.
The directional map of the Yin Realm appeared in his mind; simultaneously the Ancient Yin Warship came to a standstill, ignoring the spatial flow of the Yin Realm.
"The current position corresponds to the Outer Sea of Japan in the Yang Realm?"
"How did it end up here, just a moment’s flow, such change is really drastic."
If Zhao Xing traversed Yin and Yang now, upon returning to the Yang Realm, his location would appear in the Outer Sea of Japan.
"The best route back to Great Zhou..." Zhao Xing’s hand started to move.
The masts on the Ancient Yin Warship began to crackle fiercely, gathering yin clouds ahead.
"First jump into that yin cloud, then four consecutive jumps can follow the route ’Gui Yin, Gui Zi, Gui Chen, Gui Wu’ to cut into the North-South Great Yin Stream."
"Following the backflow of the North-South Yin Stream will lead back to the Nineteen States boundary."
Commanding the Ancient Yin Warship was relatively easy for Zhao Xing; as long as he remembered ’Yin and Yang opposites, stem-branch positioning, time combines’, he could utilize the spatial flow of the Yin Realm for travel.
What was magical about the Ancient Yin Warship was that it could create [Yin Cloud Path], opening its own small path to connect any point to the main path.
For instance, now, after Zhao Xing had finished operating, a thin mist-like tunnel spread out ahead of the warship.
The stern rippled out a faint wave spreading to the surroundings.
The entire ship no longer stayed level but tilted slightly downward.
"The front and rear yin streams create a force difference, somewhat like ’so near yet so far’?"
"Ah, Li Boqian was a disciple of Tianyang True Monarch, he must have used the Ancient Yin Warship, seems ’so near yet so far’ was created from comprehending the Ancient Yin Warship."
"No wonder it feels so familiar, Yin Cloud Path comes over, and in the Yang Realm, it’s performed as Yang Cloud Path."
As one’s realm reached this level, looking back at many things, the understanding would be different.
"Li Boqian created this cloud skill with the intent to use cloud skills to manipulate space, achieving a level of modifying Heaven and Earth Rules."
"I suspect Old Li wanted to create 99 stable cloud paths in the Yang Realm."
"If he truly achieved this level, the efficiency of transporting through the Yang Realm of the Nineteen States would completely rival the Yin Realm."
The Yin God’s messaging efficiency was swift, utilizing the regular spatial flow of the Yin Realm, it can achieve instant arrival.
Li Boqian was aiming for the Ultimate Cloud Skill!
If he could allow 99 cloud paths to exist permanently in the Yang Realm.
Then Great Zhou could use cloud paths for transporting goods and armies.
Their transit efficiency, would far surpass the Earth Advantage Sect’s [Ancient Earth Tunnel]!
"Every Chief Minister of Agriculture is ambitious."
Using art to observe people, Zhao Xing glimpsed into Li Boqian’s heart.
Cloud paths lasting eternally, connecting the Nineteen States, such a lofty ambition!
"Seems like the cloud skill ’so near yet so far’ is not meant for individuals, but achieving such an extent, the hope is slim."
From Zhao Xing’s perspective, ’so near yet so far’ first needed to reach the ultimate level.
Next, Li Boqian must achieve [Establishing Tao Realm].
Only then, is there a possibility for cloud paths to connect the Nineteen States.
Yet this is just a possibility.
Take Master Li Fire as an example, his [Using Fire to Move] realized long-distance teleportation utilizing the Li Fire Altar.
"Master Li Fire is Establishing Tao Realm + Divine Artifact, achieving long-distance teleportation."
"Li Boqian wants Establishing Tao Realm + cloud skill, to achieve this effect, without wanting to pay the price." Zhao Xing chuckled softly.
Unfortunately, this idea was destined to fail.
"Li Boqian cannot reach [Establishing Tao Realm], without Spiritual Energy resurgence, a common Establishing Tao Realm, counting out those half-dead old fellows, you can count them on one hand in the Primordial Qi Era."
"Even Emperor Jing should just be at the common Rule Realm, perhaps extremely close to establishing Tao, but definitely cannot be a common Establishing Tao Realm." Zhao Xing thought.
"To innovate the Ultimate Cloud Skill is also no simple task, additional situations of the Yin Realm are different from the Yang Realm." Zhao Xing thought.
"It seems Kunpeng Transformation isn’t the ultimate skill, cloud skill ’so near yet so far’ isn’t either, then only ’Yuan Feng’ might be the ultimate skill."
"Old Li’s lifespan isn’t long either, he’s sure to pass before Emperor Jing, I should also seek him out when this matter is over, and learn this skill from the past life."
In the past life, the ’Yuan Feng’ skill was mentioned once or twice in the biography of Chief Minister of Agriculture Li Boqian, clearly, it wasn’t inherited.
Now it’s already The 16th year of Da Zhi, during Yongzhi period of Li Boqian, he’s about to pass away, his lifespan must be similar to King Heavenly Destiny.
"Xu Xing passed away in The 17th Year of Da Zhi, and decades later, the Earth Advantage Sect leader Xuan Yuan Qingtian of Kunyuan Academy will pass, followed by Chief Minister of Agriculture Li Boqian."
