Shennong Dao Master Chapter 1294 7: The Secrets of Revival and the Four Requirem

"And now, all the grotto heavens have only appeared with hurricanes and thunder. The sound of thunder is loud, but the rain is slight, indicating this is rely a Primordial Energy Tide."

"It's a precursor to the Spiritual Energy Rain."

Ji Che fell into deep thought after hearing this and asked, "Since you say it's a sign, doesn't that an the Era of Spiritual Energy is also about to arrive soon?"

Zhao Xing shook his head, "It's not the sa. The condensation of cloud energy in the cosmos is not easy. Standing from the cosmic scale, it indeed seems it's going to arrive soon. But for us in the Xuanhuang Realm, it might take another two thousand years."

"And a complete cycle often spans millions of years, which is why the revival of spiritual energy takes so long."

"The Xuanhuang Realm will experience both the Primordial Qi Era and the Era of Spiritual Energy as two different periods."

Emperor Wu felt impacted, and asked with so resentnt in his eyes, "According to what you said, doesn't that an my Great Zhou was born out of ti, right at the cusp before the Era of Spiritual Energy arrives? And Ascension turns out to be just a vain joy?"

The Emperor only has a thousand-year lifespan!

If there's still another thousand or two years after the Primordial Qi Tide, wouldn't Ji Che fall just before dawn?

Looking at the unyielding light in Emperor Wu's eyes, Zhao Xing felt sentintal; this was precisely why he was reluctant to discuss these details with Ji Che.

Which emperor could bear such a truth?

Who knows if he might beco disheartened or descend into madness.

But now it's different. Zhao Xing quickly said, "It doesn't necessarily have to be waited for that long."

"Oh?" Ji Che asked, "I'm all ears for more details."

Zhao Xing replied, "Answering His Majesty's second question, which is about the requirents for Ascension."

"First, the spiritual energy index of the Xuanhuang Realm needs to reach above five."

"I am currently having people attempt to create a spiritual energy version of the Shang Heng Instrunt. I believe a prototype will co out soon."

"Second, at least twenty Dao Establishnt Realm individuals must withstand the Xuanhuang Four Directions Tribulation at Four Pillar Mountains, with at least five people resisting the tribulation at each location simultaneously."

"As for Four Pillar Mountains, the third point is that no one guards it anymore; it's inherently a forbidden area, except for the Southern Barbarian Sacred Mountain, which has the Wu Yue God obstructing."

"So the third requirent is to conquer the Southern Barbarian Land."

"We must undergo the trial of Ascension Tribulation here, and open the path to Ascension, because this place is the largest opening on the umbrella cover."

"If His Majesty wishes to execute the grand plan of Ascension, leading all the subjects to ascend, then the Southern Barbarians must be dealt with."

"Otherwise, there is simply no place large enough to accommodate the [Boundary Boat] to leave."

Ji Che was stunned, "What is the Boundary Boat?"

Zhao Xing answered, "This involves the fourth condition: using the world's origin as the core to craft the Boundary Boat, condensing spiritual energy into crystal stone, to use this core array as energy source, enabling us to leave the Xuanhuang Realm and traverse the Cosmic Territory."

Ji Che realized, "No wonder, when I look at those ancient Divine Dynasty's historical murals, I always saw the patterns of Flying Boats."

Zhao Xing said, "In fact, those patterns left by the Ancient Divine Dynasty didn't do what His Majesty intends. Their crafted small-scale Boundary Boats carried at most essential survival facilities and population of a single prefecture."

"Crafting Boundary Boats is for survival?" Ji Che keenly grasped the key point.

"Yes," Zhao Xing nodded, "In the cosmos, Dao Establishnt Realm is called Ascension Realm. Since we've endured the Four Directions Tribulation, Ascension Realm can escape the Xuanhuang Realm's constraints."

"In theory, even without bringing that many people, one could still leave through those small openings."

"In practice?" Ji Che asked.

"In practice, it's not feasible," Zhao Xing shook his head, "His Majesty should know that the higher the mastery, the greater the consumption of primordial energy; we can't absorb primordial energy and spiritual energy in the cosmos."

"It's like preparing to set out for war, requiring military supplies like grain."

"The universe is vast and desolate; before reaching a stable and abundant spiritual energy territory, we need to prepare sufficient provisions from the Xuanhuang Realm in order to have hope of arriving at a new world."

Speaking of this, Zhao Xing could not help recalling the scene of Ascension in his previous life: Martial Artists, chanical Masters, Ministers of Agriculture, none could be spared, no individual could ascend alone to the next map.

And the more nurous the group ascension, the harder it is to enter the next instance, because without a sustainable ecological circle, there's even a potential for degradation or death.

Choosing to sleep (log off) to reduce consumption is also wasteful in terms of the cultivation progress after Ascension.

After leaving the Xuanhuang Realm, there are no longer bottlenecks; that's precisely the ti to cultivate and accumulate experience, and any slow progress puts one at a disadvantage in rankings.

Ji Che murmured, "So the Cosmic Territory is actually this kind of scene."

"I thought the skies were filled with stars, with Immortal Realms everywhere."

Zhao Xing also looked up and said pensively, "Perhaps it used to be, but now the Xuanhuang Realm is just an almost dried up fish pond."

"We, these fish, need to leap out of the water with all our strength, jumping on to the 'land' with no water, hoping before death to reach another ocean in the cosmos."

Ji Che seed thoughtful, "Qing Yu Zi said he ca from the Yuanhai Ancient Country of the Ancient Desolate Domain Alliance, does the Desolate Domain refer to the cosmic barren territory where Xuanhuang Realm is located?"

"His Majesty is very wise," Zhao Xing smiled, "Indeed, the cosmic territory where Xuanhuang Realm is located might have once been a region abundant in spiritual energy, but with the cosmic changes, it's now on the verge of becoming a wasteland."

"Perhaps the Ascension Realm before could ride a small boat and drift away after enduring tribulation's trials, but now that's definitely not possible."

"According to you, after the Ancient Divine Court's Ascension, not all might have reached the Immortal Realm, becoming stronger, but could also have just as possibly..."
