Chapter 939: Chapter 51: Aftermath and Rewards—Imperial Decree Arrives! (Part 8)
"Big big big!!!"
Zhao Xing’s Dantian whirled furiously as he refined the Kunpeng True Blood. At this moment, the acupoints and flesh had intertwining illusions of both Kun and Peng.
Ultimately, the illusion of Kun became increasingly solid, while the illusion of Peng gradually faded away.
"Ang~"
Shang He and Wu Long were flying forward when suddenly, they heard a sound coming from behind.
It seemed to originate from the primordial ocean of ancient times, the sound was desolate and primitive.
"My god, it’s so big?"
"He’s only a Fourth Rank, and he’s truly mastered the Kunpeng Transformation?"
Shang He and Wu Long were both shocked.
Their transformations were already quite significant, with both Shang He’s and Wu Long’s bodies exceeding a kilometer in length.
Yet compared to Zhao Xing, they were nothing.
At this moment, the Big Kun’s eyes alone were a hundred meters wide.
The body was so immense it was beyond sight. In front of Zhao Xing, they seemed like ants.
Zhao Xing’s perception was indeed just that.
When he pushed to his limits, Shang He and Wu Long seemed only slightly stronger than ants in his eyes.
"To the far north is Ming Sea, also known as Heavenly Pool, there resides a fish, its breadth spans thousands of miles, its length is immeasurable, known as Kun."
"The Grand Minister of Agriculture Li Boqian’s Absolute Skill, someone has truly mastered it." Shang He murmured to himself.
"Legend has it, Kun has long vanished from the world. To the far north, there’s a frozen ocean, with no sign of the Heavenly Pool, nor traces of Kun."
"Such a colossal creature cannot be contained within heaven and earth, yet today we’re witnessing it." Wu Long was also astonished.
Of course, Zhao Xing wasn’t considered a colossal creature yet.
Because after transforming into Kun, his body was only over nine thousand meters long.
Far from reaching the scale of thousands of miles.
"For a normal Kunpeng Transformation, the Third Transition level would be three thousand meters, but the Kunpeng True Blood I’ve refined is pure, coupled with my robust foundation of the Ten Thousand Skill Dao Body, reaching over nine thousand meters."
"Compared to a true Kun, it’s merely like a newborn."
He couldn’t surpass the ten thousand meter level, as his Inner Heaven and Earth was pulling at him, preventing further expansion.
Should he try to change further, not only would he not grow larger, but he would collapse, and abnormal changes would occur.
Zhao Xing, of course, wouldn’t attempt to break the limit, as the Internal Cultivation of Seasonal Transformation Method is quite a hazardous technique, he couldn’t risk it recklessly.
"After transforming into Kun, I can deploy ’Kun Swallowing Heaven and Earth’, allowing me to devour water, primordial energy, and mist, converting them into my strength."
Zhao Xing started to move his body, flying toward the Heavenly Sea.
Wu Long and Shang He hurriedly moved aside, having to alter their course.
Because this thing was too damn big!
They were blocking Kun’s path forward.
A casual swish of Zhao Xing’s tail, and they would be sent flying.
"Let’s go!"
The two snapped back to their senses and swiftly flew towards the Heavenly Sea.
...
The Big Kun entered the Heavenly Sea, and Zhao Xing immediately felt a force of pull and impact.
Many giant rocks like small mountains rushed toward him, crashing into his body.
There were also tornado whirlpools tearing at his body.
However, Zhao Xing remained utterly unaffected.
"Kunpeng Transformation is indeed powerful."
"It’s the most formidable faction within the Heavenly Time Sect."
Zhao Xing swam freely in the sea.
Attacks that could tear apart a Third Rank, rocks that could crush a Third Rank, hitting his body felt like tickles.
Of course, Zhao Xing couldn’t do much either; with such a large body, it was rather cumbersome.
If in a fight, a Third Rank couldn’t kill him, he would find it difficult to capture a Third Rank as well.
The commotion was too great, and people would flee from afar.
"Kun Swallowing Heaven and Earth!"
The Kun in the sea opened its gigantic mouth, and Zhao Xing began his mission to quell the riot.
...
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, the thirty-seventh year of the Jingxin Calendar arrived.
Zhao Xing’s clone began to extract himself from the refuge plan.
He contacted Luo Hou King and King Heavenly Destiny and discussed with Lu Bang and Marquis Tian, gradually handing over control of various regions to the local government for management.
As the governmental institutions of Pinghai State resumed operations, this too should be handed over.
A group of dignitaries behind Xia Jing followed Zhao Xing in retreating at the first opportunity.
Especially Xiahou and Prince Pingyang (Ji Ziyun’s father, Xia Jing’s uncle), who withdrew decisively.
However, there were still quite a few reluctant to leave.
Having invested so much money, why does it feel like they’ve gained nothing and are now being told to retreat?
Zhao Xing earnestly advised them.
Through successive transfers, eighty or ninety percent of the people followed him.
As for the small portion unable to grasp the situation, Zhao Xing was helpless.
By the end of January.
Liu Tianning, who had not appeared in a long time, finally showed up.
"Teacher, is the mission over?"
"For now." Liu Tianning’s illusion nodded, "I was intercepting Prince Liang’s forces, participating in the encirclement and annihilation of the High Grade corps in Lvliang State."
"I see." Zhao Xing had already suspected that Lao Liu might not be in Pinghai State.
Now that the mission was no longer restricted, Liu Tianning had nothing to hide.
"I have reached the early stage of the Heavenly Fate Realm."
Liu Tianning also delivered a heavy piece of news to Zhao Xing.
"Congratulations, Teacher."
Though he said it, Zhao Xing’s smile was somewhat strained.
Because he worried about Liu Tianning’s current state.
Based on memories from the previous life, Liu Tianning’s advancement was faster than what he knew in the past life.
He remembered Liu Tianning was at the Third Rank when Prince Liang’s rebellion ended, yet now he’s at the Second Rank.
"Come April, you’ll go with me to Shangluo Academy." Liu Tianning said, "Come with me to meet Xu Xing and get familiar with the people at Shangluo Academy."
"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded.
This was certain, even if he hadn’t penned the Self Theory of Heaven and Earth, he would inevitably have to meet the upper management of Shangluo Academy.
Because he was Liu Tianning’s sole disciple.
Lao Liu going to Shangluo Academy was to assume the position of the first deputy dean.
