Zhao Xing still ignored Gao Ye, focusing instead on Wu Feng.
Wu Feng finally looked directly at Zhao Xing, observing the purple sun and purple moon above his head. He understood that this situation couldn't be resolved with a simple apology; at its core, it was about their perfunctory treatment of Zhao Xing for over two hundred years.
"Junior Brother, I will transfer Gao Ye to the mining star. From today on, he will no longer appear before you. What do you think?" Wu Feng gently waved his hand, and Gao Ye's figure vanished, giving him no opportunity to speak.
"Senior Brother can decide. I'm not one to hold grudges."
*Not one to hold grudges? You were quite temperamental just now...* Wu Feng thought scornfully, but a smile still graced his face. "Junior Brother is truly magnanimous, showing the demeanor of our Martial Uncle."
"Senior Brother flatters me," Zhao Xing replied, not dwelling on the matter further.
The two no longer brought up the past, as if there had never been any animosity between them.
From that day on, Wu Feng began to fulfill the task assigned by Zhaoyuanzi, no longer casually sending someone to appease Zhao Xing, but personally providing guidance.
"The Purple God Mansion has eight governors and is considered a first-class power in the Ancient Kingdom. Among them, the Purple Moon Mansion specializes in training farmers for the Heavenly Times faction."
"The Purple Moon Mansion governs six major star systems, with over three million large and small realm stars and small worlds, not to mention countless small star continents and mining stars."
"Leaving aside the Purple God Mansion, the Purple Moon Mansion alone far exceeds the scale of major dynasties. An emperor of the Great Ye Dynasty's level would have to kneel to greet our Grandmaster."
"In the previous generation, the Purple Moon Mansion only had five major star systems." When teaching Zhao Xing, Wu Feng would also chat casually to mend their relationship.
Originally, Zhao Xing was just a native in his eyes, lucky enough to inherit from Qingyuzi and successfully return his remains. Although he was an official member, Wu Feng didn't take him seriously.
Now, however, things were different. A genius like Yun Tiandao was rare, with only a few appearing on advanced realm stars like Qingyu Realm Star in a hundred thousand years.
Zhao Xing was even stronger, cultivating both the Purple Sun and Purple Yin techniques. If he could fully master the first layer within the next century, that record would have to be pushed back two hundred thousand years.
Adapting to circumstances and seeking benefit while avoiding harm is human nature. Wu Feng naturally couldn't be as perfunctory with Zhao Xing as before; he needed to mend their relationship as much as possible before Zhao Xing broke through to the Origin Realm.
After all, once Zhao Xing broke through to the Origin Realm, he would begin taking on tasks from the Purple God Mansion. Who knew what heights this person might reach in the future?
"Oh? How did an extra one appear?" Zhao Xing knew Wu Feng's thoughts and didn't refuse the goodwill extended to him. After all, he was still under their patronage.
"After Grandmaster attained the Dao Domain Realm, his dojo became larger than the previous governor's. In the Ancient Kingdom, there's an unwritten rule: the size of your Dao Domain determines the size of the territory you can claim!"
"Especially after the start of the Desolate Domain Era, stronger Dao Domain Realm cultivators received more preferential treatment. Today's 'Marlin Star System' was won by our Grandmaster through strength at the Starry Sky Discourse Assembly, hosted by the Yuanhai Kingdom Lord in the early Desolate Domain Era."
Zhao Xing nodded. The so-called Starry Sky Discourse Assembly was essentially a reshuffling of the various forces under the Yuanhai Kingdom Lord. Periodically, they would use such means to assess the strength of their subordinate powers, much like a gathering of feudal lords.
"Senior Brother Wu, I wonder what stage Grandmaster's cultivation has reached?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Grandmaster has taken the second step and is already in the Yin-Yang Dao Domain Realm," Wu Feng replied.
"The Dao Domain Realm is divided into the Five Elements Dao Domain Realm, the Yin-Yang Dao Domain Realm, and the Life-Death Dao Domain Realm."
"Those who comprehend life and death achieve the Samsara Realm, possessing immense power. They can resurrect others, and even if they die, they can revive themselves through means left behind during their lives."
"Typically, only the Ancient Kingdom's Lord is in the Samsara Realm, and a single Ancient Kingdom usually has only one Samsara Realm Lord."
"However, the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom has a long history. Besides the current Yuanhai Kingdom Lord, there are three other Samsara Realm cultivators."
"Of course, the number of Samsara Realm cultivators is considered classified. I don't know the exact number in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, but there are three publicly known."
"Only with Samsara Realm powerhouses can a nation be considered an Ancient Kingdom."
"And only Ancient Kingdoms, in racial wars against foreign nations, possess the great power of resurrection, ensuring that their subordinates can fight without fear of death."
Wu Feng was right; only the Samsara Realm could make the unity of various forces a reality. Otherwise, no one would be willing to sacrifice themselves.
The Samsara Divine Hall in the Xuanling Starfield was, after all, the human race's Samsara Divine Hall. They prohibited Samsara Realm cultivators from using resurrection abilities, but in the face of racial wars, the Samsara Divine Hall still made exceptions for the major Ancient Kingdoms. Otherwise, the Desolate Domain Ancient Kingdom Alliance wouldn't have agreed: *Our nations are about to be annihilated, and you still want us to care about the balance of the universe?*
"The dojo of the spiritual path undergoes multiple stages of transformation," Wu Feng spoke fluently. "The first is the breakthrough from the Ascension Realm to the Origin Realm."
"The body becomes origin-aligned, the Dao Body resonates with the spiritual energy of the universe, and the cultivated technique can rapidly expand the dojo's range by sensing frequency-aligned spiritual particles."
"It's like the light of a solar or lunar star covering the various planets within its own star system."
"While the essence of Dao is the same, spiritual energy manifests differently in various regions."
Wu Feng waved his hand, and the space around him suddenly divided into eight distinct regions. The eight regions were clearly demarcated, and even light entering them underwent varying degrees of change, forming very clear color differences.
Wu Feng extended his hand. "Junior Brother, look. In my eight directions, the spiritual energy index ranges from 10 to 100."
"You can cast any spell and pass through these eight directions of mine in order."
Zhao Xing nodded. A bolt of lightning appeared in his palm, surging like a dragon into the area before Wu Feng. The lightning circled Wu Feng once and then returned to Zhao Xing's hand.
"How was it?" Wu Feng asked.
"The spiritual energy index decreased from high to low as it passed through the eight regions. The lightning spell slowed down and its power weakened increasingly," Zhao Xing summarized. "The lightning's origin was diminished due to insufficient spiritual energy, and my spell deviated to varying degrees as a result."
"Excellent. This is what we often call unstable void," Wu Feng waved his hand, and the eight regions before him transformed again.
"That was an idealized unstable void. Now try again."
Zhao Xing reached out, and the lightning once again approached Wu Feng. It still followed the order of decreasing spiritual energy index, but a very strange phenomenon occurred this time.
As the lightning passed through the first region, it suddenly thickened, appearing to gain power, but in reality, its power dispersed. When it entered the second region, the concentrated lightning dragon suddenly scattered into a bunch of electric arcs, moving erratically.
However, Zhao Xing's control was strong. He managed to force a lightning dragon into the third region, where it rapidly shrank, almost less than a meter in size. Then, it suddenly leaped within the third region, uncontrollably flying into the fifth region.
"Pop!" The lightning dragon dissipated.
"See?" Wu Feng smiled as he watched the lightning dragon dissipate. "This is the difference. Different— Hmm?"
Before he could finish speaking, unexpectedly, from the spreading arc light, the lightning dragon laboriously reformed.
*Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...* Zhao Xing controlled the lightning dragon, guiding it through the remaining regions.
Wu Feng couldn't help but feel a strange sensation in his heart: *The unstable void I simulated is extremely close to a real combat scenario, not a standard model. How could he adapt so quickly?*
Wu Feng was at the second stage of the Origin Realm! Although it was just a casual simulation for teaching, Zhao Xing's actions still exceeded his expectations.
*His aptitude is good, and his spell comprehension is this strong too? Such talent actually appeared in a backwater like the Shenluo Desolate Domain.*
*It was one thing to have a Yun Tiandao, but now there's a Zhao Xing too. Could they be living on an advanced realm star? That shouldn't be possible; how could an advanced realm star be nurtured in the Desolate Domain?* Wu Feng was momentarily distracted.
Zhao Xing was also lost in thought. This Wu Feng was far stronger than Gao Ye. He was a true combat-oriented member, having seen much of the world. The second simulation just now, the areas around Wu Feng, might well have been from eight different star systems.
People often say to accumulate combat experience, but what exactly is this experience? Fighting in different environments and against different people, visiting various places and clashing with different opponents — that's what's called rich combat experience. Always fighting in the same area against the same type of people is like looking at the sky from the bottom of a well.
It must be said, Wu Feng truly had something to him; he could definitely be called experienced.
"Junior Brother Zhao, you cultivate both the Purple Sun and Purple Yin. Once this Origin Dao Body is formed, you will inherently be stronger than ordinary Origin Realm cultivators."
"Eight hundred and forty million Origin Stars will appear within your body. In the future, when you step into the Void Realm, you will be even more adaptable to various combat environments."
"After all, all environments in the universe cannot escape the principles of the Heavenly Times; everything is illuminated by the Extreme Yang and Extreme Yin stars."
Time passed, and soon twelve years had gone by.
Purple Yin First Layer: 98%Purple Sun First Layer: 97%
Wu Feng's teachings were the icing on the cake for Zhao Xing, slightly accelerating the speed of his Dao Body's condensation.
At this time, Yun Tiandao came to bid farewell to Zhao Xing. A purple light appeared in the manor, softly calling out to Zhao Xing.
"Zhao Xing, the Yuanhai Hall has delivered the customized realm star Dao soldiers. I will depart the day after tomorrow."
"Brother Yun." Zhao Xing stood up. "Let's not say too many emotional words. Take care of yourself."
Yun Tiandao looked at Zhao Xing, feeling touched, when he suddenly heard Zhao Xing add: "You still owe me thirty million. Don't you dare die!"
The sentiment that had just risen in Yun Tiandao vanished instantly. "Would you die if you didn't say that?"
"Hahahaha."
Yun Tiandao left. He boarded the realm boat on Qingyu Realm Star, heading to a place called 'Hai'ao Star' for an adventure. Hai'ao Star was located in the southern borders of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, bordering the forces of the Sea Demon Race. As a major power in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, the Purple God Mansion had an obligation to guard the border.
Yun Tiandao voluntarily accepted such a border guarding mission. He planned to exit through the Seven Star Pass to the south, accumulate merits on the battlefield, and simultaneously hone his spellcasting. Once the mission was accepted, he would have to stay there for at least a thousand years. For a first-stage Origin Realm cultivator, a thousand years was not long. Yun Tiandao planned to reach the second stage of the Origin Realm within that millennium.
"Ten thousand years is too long; we must seize the day," Zhao Xing watched the realm boat disappear into the sky. It carried not only Yun Tiandao but also dozens of other Origin Realm cultivators, all of whom harbored dreams of achieving great deeds on Qingyu Realm Star.
"I'm almost there with my progress. I should also start looking for Origin Realm trial missions," Zhao Xing opened his Star Mirror.
There were many tasks in the Purple God Mansion, with various categories. As a member of the Purple Moon Mansion branch, Zhao Xing saw mostly farming-related tasks. For example, one he happened to flip to:
**Mission Name:** Pheobe Tribe Mining Star**Mission Description:** Pheobe Star is located in the 'Marlin Star System.' This realm star produces 'Yi Star Sand,' a symbiotic ore of the Pheobe tribe. Star sand is an excellent fusion material for artifact refining. However, Pheobe Star frequently experiences riots.**Mission Content:** Guard Pheobe Star and increase Yi Star Sand production.**Mission Duration:** Three thousand years per term.**Mission Reward:** Basic reward: 30 million. After the term, the Purple God Mansion will conduct an evaluation. Higher ratings result in higher rewards, with a maximum reward of 300 million Yuanhai coins.
"Three thousand years for a basic salary of 30 million... That's almost the same as an Ascension Realm cultivator," Zhao Xing observed. "But you don't have to pay spiritual energy tax there, and room and board are covered, so you can save money."
"If you do well, you can even get a bonus of up to 300 million."
"The work isn't difficult. The highest combat power on Pheobe Star is at the Ascension Realm, so it's basically impossible for a first-stage Origin Realm cultivator to fail."
"Any riots can be easily suppressed."
Since it was within the Purple God Mansion's territory, there was no need to worry about enemy attacks or star pirates. Robbing a Purple God Mansion mining star? You might as well rob an Ancient Kingdom's bank. Both were dead ends, but at least the bank had more money.
"This mission primarily involves exploiting the Pheobe tribe. The material is a symbiotic ore, so I can't just kill indiscriminately. It's suitable for administrative personnel, not for me."
A three-thousand-year term could not be casually quit. Purple God Mansion tasks were somewhat mandatory. Abandoning a task midway would result in a lowered evaluation. Performing poorly would also lower the evaluation, and in severe cases, could even lead to a reduction in official member rank, or even demotion to external member or commoner status. Performing well, however, would lead to promotion and higher benefits.
"Yao Ying Star Continent, Class B Tier 3 Star Continent, has indigenous Yao Ying Spirit Trees, an important economic plant on the Purple God Mansion's native species export list."
"The Star Continent is frequently invaded by Void Winds. The content of this mission is to resist various natural disasters occurring on the Star Continent."
"Natural disasters are quite frequent, so it's only a one-thousand-year term."
"However, there's no real danger, just a bit tiring. The basic salary for one term is 50 million, but the spiritual energy index fluctuates, averaging around 40."
"The money is higher, but it's not very suitable for cultivation."
Zhao Xing spent an afternoon browsing. Most missions within the Purple God Mansion's territory were relatively safe. Since he was an official member, he could access many relatively easy and safe missions, and the pay wasn't low.
If he were an external member, even for the same Pheobe Star mining mission and also at the first stage of the Origin Realm, an external member would not be a 'Planet Manager,' and their salary would only be a meager one to five million. Yet, even with such low pay, many people would still fight tooth and nail for it.
Why? Because compared to other jobs, it was already quite good. Completing one term could earn them a realm star Dao soldier, even if their cultivation progress temporarily halted. This was certainly a good thing! Not everyone's time was valuable, nor could all cultivators make progress constantly. Many first-stage cultivators would be willing to work for three thousand years, even if their cultivation progress completely stopped.
"Safe jobs generally have a reward cap," Zhao Xing concluded after looking around. "Unless it's a high-level realm star manager, but these are usually positions for third-stage cultivators who can receive dividends."
"These well-paying and safe jobs also require completing a series of missions and improving one's member contribution rating; it's not just about strength."
"Highly rewarding jobs usually involve danger, like Yun Tiandao's border guarding mission," Zhao Xing mused.
However, this was already very good. The missions issued by the Purple God Mansion adhered to the principle of "you get what you put in." At the very least, it was a platform that allowed people to display their talents. What was most dreaded were those places where effort was put in, but the rewards were not proportional—and there were quite a few such frustrating forces in the universe.
"Hmm? This mission—"
Zhao Xing searched for a long time until a familiar mission suddenly caught his eye. He immediately clicked on it.
**Moon Luo Mausoleum****Mission Description:** The Moon Luo Mausoleum is located in the 'Phantom God Star System,' a public star sea area. It is composed of a large number of 'star continents' and has been confirmed as an ancient race's mausoleum. The Moon Luo Mausoleum emerged from the void turbulence seven thousand years ago due to the failure of its sealing array.**Mission One (Exploration):** Enter the Moon Luo Mausoleum and obtain valuable information. Once verified, the reporter will receive a corresponding reward.**Mission Two (Elimination):** There is significant alien activity on the star continents. For each alien killed, a reward of at least 500,000 will be given, with no upper limit!**Mission Three (Materials):** Search for materials within the Moon Luo Mausoleum (list attached).**Mission Four—**
"Moon Luo Mausoleum? The Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom can also receive this mission?" Zhao Xing's eyes lit up when he saw this mission.
He, of course, knew of the Moon Luo Mausoleum's existence. In his previous life, when he entered the "Cosmic Version" of the game, the Moon Luo Mausoleum had already appeared for some time. However, it was still being explored. Later, after they, the first batch of players, became Origin Realm cultivators, almost everyone went there. After all, it was an ancient starry sky tomb—which player could resist the temptation of excavating a powerful cultivator's tomb?
However, he went late in his previous life. Zhao Xing mingled there for several centuries with others but didn't get many good things. At that time, the excavation was already in its middle stages, and first-stage Origin Realm cultivators had little involvement, as most areas accessible to them had already been excavated. Grave goods and the like had mostly been cleared out; it was no exaggeration to say they had dug three feet deep.
"In my previous life, when we went, the Moon Luo Mausoleum was like a gnawed bone, with only scraps left. Now, there should still be plenty of benefits, even big gains."
Having only appeared seven thousand years ago, the Moon Luo Mausoleum's arrays were clearly still active. It was thrown out by the void turbulence, and the power of the arrays would take some time to fully unseal. After all, it was a starry sky tomb, and the arrays would fail in localized areas first before gradually collapsing entirely.
"Danger level unknown?" Zhao Xing smiled as he looked at the Purple God Mansion's mission tag. "I know it."
He couldn't claim to know every inch of land or every array perfectly, as later powerhouses had done some work on the Moon Luo Mausoleum. But for most areas, he knew where the pitfalls were. Moreover, for this exploration mission, even just knowing information counted as a reward!
"Even if I just go for a walk, circle around the outside, and then report what I see, I can still get a good number of rewards," Zhao Xing mused.
Of course, he had to go himself. If he just claimed there were treasures or valuable grave goods without going, he'd be courting death.
"Excellent, this is it," Zhao Xing closed his Star Mirror. He couldn't accept this mission yet; the minimum requirement was to be in the first stage of the Origin Realm. Ascension Realm cultivators didn't even have the qualifications to go, lacking even light speed. Their mobility on star continents was too weak. How could they talk about exploration? If they relied on Ascension Realm cultivators to explore, it would take a hundred million years and they still wouldn't understand it.
When Yun Tiandao left, it was the 301st year of the Shixin era. At this time, Zhao Xing began preparing for his first Origin Realm trial mission. With newfound motivation, Zhao Xing became even more diligent. After all, being a year late could mean missing out on treasures. Opportunities to earn big money were rare for first-stage Origin Realm cultivators, so he had to seize them.
Time passed, and soon it was the 351st year of the Shixin era.
*Gulp, gulp, gulp.*
Zhao Xing opened a bottle of Heaven Source Liquid and tilted his head back, drinking it down. The purple light on his body gradually subsided.
Purple Sun First Layer: 99%Purple Yin First Layer: 99%
"I'm only the last one percent away from illuminating all eight hundred and forty million acupoints."
"With dual cultivation, the Yin and Yang forces must increase in balance."
"Now, for me, the only difficulty in breaking through is this 'balance.'"
Zhao Xing focused his internal vision. He only had the last two acupoints left to illuminate, which he had deliberately held back.
"The Purple Yin and Purple Yang forces in my body are like a scale. If one side rises first, the scale will become unbalanced."
"If one side gains the upper hand, it will immediately become a single-origin breakthrough, and the hundreds of years of cultivation before would be in vain." Zhao Xing drank the Heaven Source Liquid, gazing at the scene of the sun and moon shining together.
The difficulty of dual-origin cultivation lay in the moment of the final breakthrough. If one side became unbalanced, the solar or lunar power within the body would immediately devour the other. The transformation would be completed in an instant, and the Dao Body would become either a Purple Yin or Purple Yang Dao Body.
"There's a reason why Purple Yin and Purple Yang are usually cultivated separately. I don't have absolute certainty of breaking through right now."
"According to my calculations, I only have about an eighty percent chance at most."
Zhao Xing rose and flew towards the sky. He directly flew out of Qingyu Realm Star's boundary wall and arrived outside. In the starry sky, the two Origin forces of the sun and moon simultaneously shone upon his body. The last two acupoints within him stirred restlessly; due to some gathering effect, both forces seemed ready to make their final move.
Zhao Xing unfurled his dojo. Two purple lights, one Yin and one Yang, shot from different directions, colliding in the center of the dojo. "Boom!"
The lights collided, and soon the Tai Yin force gained the upper hand, with the purple Yin light filling the entire dojo. Zhao Xing stretched out his arms again, causing the two lights to collide.
"Buzz~"
After the collision, a fusion occurred. Both lights surged simultaneously within the dojo, gentle yet full of power.
"102,541st simulation: Success.""102,542nd simulation: Success.""102,543rd simulation: Success."
Zhao Xing quickly tried another hundred times. Then he sat cross-legged, deep in thought: "Still about the same. 73 successes out of 100 attempts, 27 failures."
He didn't hesitate in his thinking, immediately pulling out a pile of books from his Qiankun Bag and lying down in the starry sky to read.
"Hm?"
Zhao Xing inadvertently flipped to an old book. It was none other than his own past writing, "Annotations to the Two Sutras," which was a commentary on his "Theory of the Self and Heavenly Objects."
"Using the self to control the Heavenly Times?"
A flash of inspiration crossed Zhao Xing's mind. He immediately sat up, a bold idea forming in his heart.
"My Yuanhai Realm cultivation progress has also reached 99%. Within the Pure Spirit Space, the rudimentary forms of the Five Elements Great Dao are already very clear."
"Light, come!"
Zhao Xing began to simulate again. The light of Tai Yin and the light of Tai Yang flew from afar simultaneously, entering the dojo. But just as they were about to collide—
"Buzz~"
Zhao Xing cast Pure Spirit Projection. After cultivating the Yuanhai Realm, the Five Elements origin had become increasingly clear. Even when casting the projection, this piece of pure spiritual soil was full of the power of the Five Elements origin.
"Change!"
Zhao Xing pointed a finger, and the soil rapidly shrunk and spun.
"Buzz~"
The intense rotation caused the converging Tai Yin and Tai Yang origins to twist, rotating with the circular soil. Yin and Yang quickly merged on the soil, both clearly distinct yet intertwined, each containing a part of the other.
"Using the Dao of the Self as a foundation, merging the power of Purple Yang and Purple Yin—this is Tai Chi giving birth to the Two Instruments!"
"After changing the method, the 1st simulation: Success!"
Zhao Xing felt the docile Origin power and couldn't help but smile. He then proceeded to perform multiple simulations. Ten attempts, ten successes! A hundred attempts, all one hundred were successes!
"Hahaha, I truly am a genius!" Zhao Xing couldn't help but burst into laughter.
With the simulation reaching 100% success, Zhao Xing no longer hesitated. He returned to Qingyu Realm Star, to his manor. With the sun and moon shining together, Zhao Xing fully materialized the entire pure spirit soil.
*Whoosh.*
Zhao Xing took a deep breath. Both cultivation techniques operated simultaneously, and the Purple Yang and Purple Yin forces began to surge within his body. He sat cross-legged on the soil, and his entire body began to rotate, emitting a purple glow.
*Hum hum hum hum hum hum hum*
Zhao Xing's body rotated faster and faster, soon becoming an invisible blur. Only a purple halo remained!
*Rumble!*
At the same time, the Pure Spirit Space also completed its evolution, transforming into an Origin Space!
"It's done."
Zhao Xing felt his new Dao Body, a sense of liberation washing over him. "Finally, I've stepped into the first stage of the Origin Realm."
With a thought, his entire being transformed into a ray of light, appearing at the other end of Qingyu Realm Star in the blink of an eye. This was an ocean, with a tall tower on it. A sign stood on the tower: "North Sea Fishery - Realm-Splitting Whale Region."
"Realm-Splitting Whale? Legends say an adult Realm-Splitting Whale is a first-stage Origin Realm being. I wonder how it tastes."
Zhao Xing raised his hand, and the seawater surged. A colossal whale, tens of thousands of miles long, was restrained by Zhao Xing.
"Mmm?"
The light blue patterns on the Realm-Splitting Whale lit up, and it struggled frantically.
"Ice Soul Frost Splendor!"
Zhao Xing unleashed his self-created rain spell, which he had comprehended from the plant-type military unit 'Ice Soul Divine Tree' he once obtained. It had reached the seventh tier of Source Spells. The terrifying low temperature instantly froze the Realm-Splitting Whale's internal origin!
"With a dual-origin Dao Body, my spell, which mobilizes Tai Yin power, is not like a newly entered first-stage Origin Realm spell at all," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "This Realm-Splitting Whale, at least mid-first-stage Origin Realm in strength, can't break free from my spell's restraint."
"Bigger, bigger!"
Zhao Xing enlarged his Dao Body. A normal martial artist's Golden Body is typically around a thousand feet in the Rule Realm and ten thousand feet in the Ascension Realm. The standard for the first stage of the Origin Realm is to reach thousands of kilometers. The Dao Domain Realm is even more exaggerated, capable of moving the sun and moon with their physical bodies.
"A bit strenuous," Zhao Xing found that he became somewhat strained when he grew to around five hundred kilometers. "I've just entered the first stage of the Origin Realm, so I'm not very skilled yet. This shouldn't be my limit."
Five hundred kilometers was still small compared to the Realm-Splitting Whale's ten-thousand-mile length. After his breakthrough, Zhao Xing felt incredibly hungry. He looked at the Realm-Splitting Whale, finding it incredibly delicious.
"Difficult to start eating."
*Plop.*
With a thought from Zhao Xing, a large piece of meat was immediately cut from the Realm-Splitting Whale.
"I'll eat!"
"So delicious."
"No wonder this North Sea Fishery raises so many. It's both delicious and beneficial for Origin Realm cultivation." Zhao Xing devoured the whale meat. After tearing off eight consecutive pieces of meat, his hunger finally subsided.
*Whoosh~*
A light appeared in the distance.
"Who dares trespass in the North Sea and hunt Realm-Splitting Whales?"
"I am the Realm-Splitting Whale Guardian of the North Sea Fishery on Qingyu Star! You have quite the audacity!"
The newcomer held a silver spear. Zhao Xing activated his detection function and saw that this was a first-stage Origin Realm cultivator.
"Don't make a move," Zhao Xing clapped his hands. "I'll pay."
"Hmph, this isn't about money; you privately— Ah, it's Lord Zhao." The guardian was stunned when he saw Zhao Xing reveal his official member status, and his attitude immediately shifted dramatically. He was only an external member, naturally less esteemed than an official member. Moreover, Zhao Xing had been on Qingyu Realm Star for several centuries, and as Qingyuzi's successor, he had some renown on the realm star.
"I just broke through and was extremely hungry, so I killed this Realm-Splitting Whale. It was my mistake. Tell me, how much compensation is needed?" Zhao Xing asked.
"No need, no need," the guardian quickly waved his hand.
"Really no need?" Zhao Xing asked, surprised.
"Truly no need," the guardian smiled. "You just broke through and need to replenish energy. Eating a Realm-Splitting Whale counts as an emergency situation, and besides, it's not dead."
"Then I won't be polite. Farewell." Zhao Xing immediately transformed into a ray of light and vanished into the sky.
The guardian looked in the direction Zhao Xing had left, secretly clicking his tongue: "He just broke through to the Origin Realm and already possesses light speed? Official members are indeed formidable!"
"No wonder he could easily enter; I didn't even detect him."
Even first-stage Origin Realm cultivators needed long periods of training after breaking through to reach light speed. Zhao Xing's effortless manner clearly indicated he was no ordinary Origin Realm cultivator.
"When will I also be able to become an official member?" The guardian looked on enviously for a moment, then returned to his dwelling.
When Zhao Xing returned to his manor, two people were already waiting on the grass. It was Zhaoyuanzi and Wu Feng. The appearance of a newly advanced Origin Realm cultivator on Qingyu Realm Star naturally couldn't escape the eyes of the administrators. If it were an ordinary Ascension Realm breakthrough, Zhaoyuanzi wouldn't pay attention, but this was Zhao Xing, and that made it different.
"Junior Brother Zhao, congratulations on your breakthrough," Wu Feng congratulated him. Only upon entering the Origin Realm did one truly become a cultivator in the universe. Ascension Realm cultivators could only orbit realm stars and had no qualifications to roam the universe.
"Zhao Xing, you cultivate both Purple Yin and Purple Yang. What was the final result of your breakthrough?" Zhaoyuanzi was concerned about this question. He had learned from Wu Feng that Zhao Xing was cultivating two techniques, which was far more difficult than cultivating just one. During breakthrough, it was very easy for all efforts to go to waste, resulting in only a single origin Dao Body. Yun Tiandao's cultivation speed was fast, but Zhaoyuanzi and Wu Feng had seen such speed before. However, the significance of a dual-origin Dao Body was different. It had been a long time since such a talent had appeared on Qingyu Realm Star.
Hearing his master ask this, Wu Feng also looked at Zhao Xing, but at this moment, Zhao Xing had already restrained his spiritual power, so they couldn't discern anything. Even a second-stage cultivator couldn't see through someone with just a glance.
"Senior Brother, Martial Uncle, I was fortunate enough to achieve a dual-origin Dao Body," Zhao Xing replied. His Yuanhai Realm had also transformed into an Origin Space at this time, but there was no need to mention that.
"He actually managed to cultivate it?" Zhaoyuanzi and Wu Feng exchanged a glance, their expressions complex.
