Chapter 417: Initial Resources, Algae Level, Letters from Wu Tian and Du Yun

Upon entering the Treasure Hall in the East District of Seaweed City, he was immediately greeted by Nana, a woman in a green robe and a Five Elements Dao Realm expert. "Welcome, esteemed Seaweed-level member," she said. "My name is Nana, and I am your guide here."

The beautiful woman in the green robe had a gentle smile. The Primal World had many civil servants, and Five Elements Dao Realm experts typically performed logistical duties here. However, billions vied for such positions, and the selection process for logistical staff was extremely strict. Candidates needed to be intelligent, astute, and possess impeccable backgrounds, undergoing rigorous vetting.

"I'm here to collect the cultivation resources for Seaweed-level members," Zhao Xing stated, nodding slightly and getting straight to the point. As a genius who entered through the Primal Assembly, his inherent value far surpassed that of ordinary Dao Realm experts, naturally granting him a very high status.

Members of the Primal World were categorized into multiple levels. The lowest was the 'Seaweed Grass' level, followed by the 'Seaweed' level. Out of 2,000 individuals, only 160 were Seaweed-level, with the rest being the lowest, Seaweed Grass-level members.

Seaweed Grass-level members were required to leave the Primal World once their 2,486-year study period concluded. Seaweed-level members, upon completion of their study period, had the opportunity to obtain permanent residency in the Primal World, becoming true constituents of it. The Imperial Ministry of Agriculture, a sacred ground, always sought only the most exceptional geniuses and the strongest of the strong.

"Yes, please wait a moment," Nana replied, leading Zhao Xing into a spacious and luxurious reception hall.

Shortly after, two hundred individuals appeared before Zhao Xing.

"Greetings, Lord Zhao," they chorused.

The two hundred individuals, men and women of various builds and professions, bowed in unison. They included dietitians who prescribed meals, mind dancers, martial artists who served as sparring partners for Seaweed-level members, artificers, and even dedicated entertainment and leisure staff. Without exception, all were at least at the Five Elements Dao Realm, with the two highest-ranking individuals being at the Yin-Yang Dao Realm.

The sight of two hundred Dao Realm experts bowing in unison to Zhao Xing was quite striking. However, Nana observed that Zhao Xing, the genius, remained composed, showing no signs of conceit or curiosity.

"Everyone, please rise," Zhao Xing said, waving his hand. What kind of scene hadn't he witnessed before? Previously, in the Imperial Capital of the Primordial Sea Ancient Kingdom, even Reincarnation Emperor-level figures had to obediently follow his directives. These current circumstances were merely child's play.

"My Lord, these are..." Nana was about to provide an introduction, but Zhao Xing stopped her.

"I'm quite familiar with the rules, so there's no need for you to go to any extra trouble. Just hand over the items I'm supposed to receive."

"Yes," Nana complied obediently.

She then presented a tray to Zhao Xing, on which lay a storage ring and a star mirror.

"My Lord, the initial physical resources allocated to Seaweed-level members in the Primal World are all within this Qiankun Ring."

"This reinforced Star Mirror serves as your identification token. You can use it to check your points, view secret realm maps of the Primal World, find point-based tasks, or purchase items from the treasury, among other things."

"In the future, when you are at your residence, you won't need to come here in person; a dedicated person will deliver items to you."

"Understood." With a wave of his hand, Zhao Xing collected the items. He then led the two hundred individuals to the North District of Seaweed City. This district served as the residential area for Seaweed-level members, accommodating not only agriculturists but also individuals from other professions, including military personnel who had exchanged military merits for study opportunities. The population was quite substantial.

The new Star Mirror showed that approximately 140,000 people resided in the North District.

"Primarily, meritorious subjects of the Empire live here. The genius selection of the Primal Assembly only accounts for a few thousand," Zhao Xing mused.

As for Seaweed Grass-level members in the South District, their numbers were even greater, exceeding one million. Currently, the Empire had no significant wars. However, during times of war, more individuals would accrue merits, and consequently, the population of the Primal World would naturally increase. During imperial campaigns, military merits were awarded to soldiers, and the Primal World served as a crucial location for exchanging these merits. The Primal World was both the sacred land of the Ministry of Agriculture and the logistical heartland of the Empire.

"My residence will be here," Zhao Xing declared, arbitrarily choosing a manor-style estate he liked, then used his Star Mirror to register his occupancy. The North District was relatively spacious, with many empty estates.

"From now on, this place will be called Pagoda Tree and Willow Courtyard."

"Bagel, Xinda," Zhao Xing addressed the two Yin-Yang Dao Realm experts in the group. "You two will arrange accommodations for the others."

"I have no other requirements; my sole preference is for quiet."

"Yes, My Lord, we understand," Bagel and Xinda nodded.

The two then began giving instructions. Zhao Xing, meanwhile, entered the main courtyard of the estate to settle in and began examining the contents of the Qiankun Ring.

Seaweed-level members received resources once every hundred years. This allocation included 100 Five Elements Origin Stones, 1 Yin-Yang Origin Stone, two Life-Nourishing Dao Fruits, one Enlightenment Pill, and one Soul Spirit Fruit. These constituted the physical cultivation resources for Seaweed-level members.

Five Elements Origin Stones and Yin-Yang Origin Stones were both treasures used to strengthen one's inner world. Life-Nourishing Dao Fruits enhanced the physical body, Enlightenment Pills aided in comprehending the Grand Dao of the universe, and Soul Spirit Pills cleansed and strengthened the soul. If one were a Seaweed Grass-level member, they would not receive Enlightenment Pills or Soul Spirit Pills. They would only receive 20 Five Elements Origin Stones and no Yin-Yang Origin Stones. If they desired treasures they didn't possess, they could only purchase them with points.

"For virtual points, Seaweed Grass-level members receive 1,000 points free every hundred years, while Seaweed-level members receive 10,000 points. Points can be used to purchase cultivation materials that complement cultivation methods and secret arts, as well as treasures like Life-Nourishing Dao Fruits and various Origin Stones. According to the purchasing power in the Primal World, a Five Elements Origin Stone costs 10 points, and a Yin-Yang Origin Stone costs 1,000 points. A Life-Nourishing Dao Fruit costs 1,000 points, while Soul Spirit Pills and Enlightenment Pills each cost 10,000 points." Zhao Xing mused that if one were only a Seaweed Grass-level member, and without considering the generous initiation gift package from their teacher, their points would only be enough to buy one Yin-Yang Origin Stone or one Life-Nourishing Dao Fruit. They could also only afford one or two cultivation methods or secret arts.

Of course, the Primal World also offered many freely accessible treasure grounds, which still significantly aided one's cultivation progress. For the initial hundred years, these cultivation resources were generally sufficient. For instance, Enlightenment Pills and Soul Spirit Pills would take ten to twenty years to fully digest for someone at the Grand Divine Power Realm.

"Normally, these resources are enough for geniuses, unless they possess immense untapped potential and progress rapidly, in which case more resources would naturally be required to keep up. The Primal World also provides a platform with many challenge secret realms where one can earn point rewards. When enough extra points are accumulated, one can ascend to the 'Coral' level, truly becoming a part of the Primal World and gaining permanent residency."

Zhao Xing browsed the Star Mirror, which displayed his personal data.

Name: Zhao XingLevel: Seaweed Tier 1 (0/100,000)Available Points: 10,000Extra Points: 0

"From Seaweed Tier 1 to Seaweed Tier 9, the required extra points double with each level, totaling 51.1 million points. Finally, ascending from Seaweed Tier 9 to Coral Tier 1 still requires 51.1 million points, meaning a grand total of 102.2 million points."

"Over the 2,486 years of study, an average of over 40,000 extra points must be acquired annually. While accumulating over 40,000 extra points per year might seem achievable, the number of easily obtainable point tasks and challenges in the Primal World is limited. While progress might be rapid initially, the available points would diminish further down the line."

"For example, in the 'Primal Ocean,' there are also point-based challenges. For every nautical mile advanced, 1 point is awarded, non-repeatable. However, after 100,000 nautical miles, one needs the combat power of a Yin-Yang Dao Realm expert to proceed. Beyond 1 million nautical miles, only Life-Death Dao Realm experts can continue, and the points awarded are also higher. If one can advance from the Grand Divine Power Realm to the Life-Death Dao Realm within two millennia, then the points gained from merely challenging the Primal Ocean would be sufficient to remain in the Primal World. If not, it would be extremely difficult to accumulate enough points."

Zhao Xing reviewed the various methods for acquiring points, finding them largely consistent with what he knew from his previous life. "To remain in the Primal World, one must either possess high talent or be diligent and willing to put in effort," Zhao Xing mused. "I must reach the Coral level, otherwise, I won't be able to catch the Primal World's 'Star River Myriad Worlds' ride in the next version."

The 'Siyue' desolate zone, circling the northwest of the Profound Spirit Starfield, was about to be breached by the Scarlet Star Empire. The exploration point was located in the Empire's Great Northwest, at Jia-Chen Pass 14, which was also where Emperor Wu and Ji Si had previously gone. Zhao Xing's plan happened to coincide with the actions of the Great Zhou. Going as a member of the Primal World would undoubtedly be much better than under any other identity.

"I must reach the Life-Death Dao Realm by 2486!"

Zhao Xing took a deep breath and opened the treasury's exchange list. "First, I need to change the cultivation method of my sect."

For his Egoist Sect cultivation method, he had always used the Primordial Sea Ancient Kingdom Imperial Family's 'Primordial Sea World.' While it had been sufficient before, since participating in the Primal Assembly, he had been consistently suppressed in terms of primal projection. There was no way around it; the Imperial Family's cultivation method had a power ceiling. Other geniuses, such as Wu Chuanlan and Lu Nansong, all possessed top-tier cultivation methods from the start. The primal soil within their bodies surpassed 'Primordial Sea World' in both scope and intensity. The strength of one's primal world, in turn, determined the power of their World Law, as World Law was a combination of one's Dao Field and primal projection. With a strong foundation, the amplification multiplier of spells would naturally be higher. If even Wu Chuanlan and Lu Nansong were like this, then Tuo Sen, Pu Guangrui, and Fairy You Ling probably all possessed super cultivation methods to solidify their primal worlds.

"During battles in the Primal Assembly, anyone could enter my mass-production army's territory. Its defenses were as weak as a sieve. I absolutely must improve this capability first." Before, it was impossible due to lack of time, resources, and channels. Now that the conditions were met, Zhao Xing's first instinct was to enhance this aspect.

"Found it! The number one cultivation method for the mass-production army style, 'Primordial Chaos World'!"

"The first level of 'Primordial Chaos World' has multiple purchase prices: 1 point, 100 points, 1,000 points, 10,000 points..." This situation arose because the purchased cultivation methods included different supplementary facilities or auxiliary resources. If one desired nothing but the Dao Tablet recording the cultivation method, then purchasing the first level only required 1 point. More points signified more accompanying resources, leading to faster mastery. Of course, the first level maxed out at 1 million points. Most people wouldn't need that much; they couldn't absorb so many resources, and their primal world would reach its limit, naturally breaking through to the next stage, the Dao Realm.

"I only have 10,000 points in total; I'll buy it all," Zhao Xing decided without hesitation. With such a small amount, there was no point in diversifying his investment.

'Primordial Chaos World' purchased successfully. The cultivation method and related resources will be delivered within two hours!

"Excellent." Zhao Xing smiled. "From now on, no one will be able to directly appear within my territory, and those relying on life-array formations won't be able to ambush me."

'Primordial Chaos World' was renowned as the top cultivation method for the mass-production army style, primarily because it could expand one's primal world to an immense scale. The four stages of a world were Primal, Origin, Myriad Phenomena, and Nirvana.

"The number one cultivation method for the mass-production army style is 'Primordial Chaos World.' Theoretically, it encompasses all characteristics of the four stages, focusing on being large and comprehensive. For the life-array formation style, the universally recognized top cultivation method is 'Myriad Phenomena World.' This is because the Myriad Phenomena stage is when life forms are most diverse and prosperous. It's the peak of life's Grand Dao evolution, so one's inner world should align with the 'Myriad Phenomena Stage' of the world."

"The number one cultivation method for the Extremity Dao style is 'Nirvana World.' It boasts the strongest offensive power. When a cosmic world reaches the Nirvana stage, plant life withers, and it is filled with destructive intent. To gain more vitality, it plunders other life forms for sustenance, aligning with the Extremity Dao style's cultivation of the myriad-law mother tree."

"The number one cultivation method for the clone style is 'Primal World,' and for the parasitic style, it is widely recognized as 'Origin World.' The clone style pursues legendary materials from the time of creation, so their inner worlds also tend toward that direction. The parasitic style typically attacks with 'seeds' or saplings, making 'Origin World,' which focuses on the life-nurturing stage, the most suitable."

"In the Egoist Sect's theory, the world should have a fifth stage, 'Eternal World,' which is the cultivation method for reaching godhood within the sect. However, no agriculturists of the Egoist Sect have ever achieved godhood, so this cultivation method remains purely theoretical."

Two hours later, the 'Primordial Chaos World' cultivation method and its accompanying resources were delivered to Pagoda Tree and Willow Courtyard. Zhao Xing glanced at the mechanical automaton delivering the goods and shook his head slightly.

Bagel and Xinda keenly observed Zhao Xing's gesture and couldn't help but stop the delivery automaton. "Please wait for His Lordship to inspect the goods before leaving," they instructed.

The humanoid mechanical automaton stated, "There are no errors in cargo deliveries within the Primal World."

"The goods are fine; let it go. I was just reminiscing," Zhao Xing said, waving his hand.

"Yes," Xinda and Bagel immediately stepped aside.

The silent mechanical automaton quickly transformed into a flying boat and departed. Once the mechanical automaton left, Zhao Xing returned to the estate.

Whoosh!

His primal projection quietly unfolded, and Zhao Xing stepped into his own territory.

"Emperor Tianning, you've arrived," said a Thousand Illusions Tree at the edge of his territory, unfurling its branches. This was the Thousand Illusions Tree Zhao Xing had captured in the Moonfrost Mausoleum of the Illusory God Galaxy. It was at the Life-Death Dao Realm, but its remaining lifespan was not extensive. Since participating in the Primal Assembly, it had been intermittently sealed, unaware of the outcome of Zhao Xing's Primal Assembly.

"Emperor Tianning, are you currently in the Primal World?" the Thousand Illusions Tree asked.

"That's right. I've entered the Primal World, and I have a demigod as my master," Zhao Xing replied calmly.

"Mighty Emperor Tianning!" the Thousand Illusions Tree flattered. "I knew you would definitely get in."

Zhao Xing chuckled softly. He had originally told the Thousand Illusions Tree 'Emperor Qingyu,' but since the Primordial Sea incident, memories related to Qingyuzi had also been affected, changing to 'Emperor Tianning.' Old Qing, along with the ancient deities of the Dongyan Ancient Clan, had vanished from public knowledge. It seemed that gods unwilling to reveal their identities would always act this way: disappearing from the memories of mortals.

"You'll have to endure being constrained a bit longer." The Thousand Illusions Tree had previously been sealed by powerhouses from the Primal Assembly. It now remained at the edge of his territory, only a hundred meters tall and occupying little space, thus not affecting the deployment of his primal projection. In a sense, it was indirectly imprisoned. Now that Zhao Xing was cultivating his primal space, the Thousand Illusions Tree could not be unsealed so quickly. Otherwise, its Life-Death Dao Realm power would significantly impact his primal space cultivation.

"No grievance, not at all," the Thousand Illusions Tree replied. It had not dared to complain before, and now it dared even less. Zhao Xing's cultivation would only take some time; it could certainly wait.

"The first level of 'Primordial Chaos World,' purchased for 10,000 points. It includes four Primordial Chaos Diagrams, four Basic World-Fixing Towers, and 400 Five Elements Stones." Zhao Xing had already taken out the cultivation resources. Of the 10,000 points, a portion was spent on 400 Five Elements Stones, accounting for 4,000 points. The remaining 6,000 points were spent on the four World-Fixing Towers. As for the Primordial Chaos Diagrams? They were merely carriers recording the cultivation method, containing a hint of Dao essence, and only cost 1 point, almost given away for free.

"The Basic World-Fixing Towers are auxiliary Dao soldiers crafted by artificers. Paired with Five Elements Stones, these are the two supporting resources for the first level of cultivation. Currently, I don't have much money, so I can only use Basic World-Fixing Towers. If it were a 1-million-point configuration, it would be four 'Primordial Chaos Dao Towers,' capable of simulating the world's four stages in cyclical alternation. However, the Basic World-Fixing Towers are sufficient for now. Cultivation should proceed step by step."

Whoosh!

The four Primordial Chaos Diagrams unfurled, and Zhao Xing began his cultivation. Simultaneously, the four World-Fixing Towers settled at the four cardinal directions of his primal space, emitting a hazy, milky-white glow.

As soon as he began comprehending, Zhao Xing felt a profound difference. "According to the original 'Primordial Sea World' cultivation method, I had already cultivated my Egoist path to its limit in the third realm. At that time, I also felt my primal space was nearing perfection. However, now that I've entered the Grand Divine Power Realm within the third realm and am cultivating the Primordial Chaos Diagram, I feel there's still significant room for improvement at the primal level. It's precisely for this reason that, at that time, I only sensed vague rudimentary forms of the Five Elements rules. Now, I feel the construction is full of flaws; the Five Elements rules and the rudimentary forms of the Grand Dao are far from reaching the level required to nurture a world."

An Egoist Agriculturist at the Dao Realm would begin to nurture their world. When an Egoist Sect member breaks through to the Reincarnation Realm, they create a world, giving birth to a true inner world, and at that point, the inner world also produces 'native species.'

"When I previously cultivated 'Primordial Sea World,' I had established the rudimentary forms of the Five Elements and Yin-Yang. Now, I have to overturn everything."

At this moment, within Zhao Xing's primal space, there was a Purple Yin Star and a Purple Yang Star. Earth, Wind, Fire, Mountain, and Thunder already possessed some characteristics of a world. However, as Zhao Xing comprehended the Primordial Chaos Diagram, he saw a barren, chaotic world. In other words, the world's dimensional structure established by 'Primordial Sea World' had to be torn down and rebuilt.

"Destroy!" With a thought, the two stars simulated by the power of Purple Yin and Purple Yang in the sky instantly extinguished, turning into nothingness. Immediately after, the Thousand Illusions Tree, Demonic Cloud Vine, and Zhao Xing's other plants were all moved outside. The estate was rich in spiritual energy, so it didn't hinder them.

All life disappeared from the primal space, and the earth began to break apart anew. The rudimentary ley lines were shattered, spiritual mountains destroyed, and the entire primal space resembled the collapse of the Man Ya minor world in the second trial. The earth churned and boiled, space warped, and darkness descended. Eventually, everything turned to nothingness.

Only the four 'World-Fixing Towers,' four Primordial Chaos Diagrams, and the most primordial chaotic soil remained.

"Re-establish the Five Elements Dao foundation, reconstruct the primal space, and form the Primordial Chaos World." Zhao Xing's divine sense, like invisible giant hands, reconstructed the primal space according to the 'Primordial Chaos Diagram' cultivation method. As time passed, faint light gradually emerged in the dark void. It was the 500 Five Elements Stones Zhao Xing had invested: four hundred purchased, and one hundred from his initial resources. One could never have too many Five Elements Origin Stones, but it wasn't yet time to invest Yin-Yang Origin Stones.

"So that's how it is. By cultivating according to the 'Primordial Chaos World' method, my primal space is expected to be about 20 times larger than before once formed."

"20 times? No wonder I couldn't win at all. Even with maxed-out World Law cultivation, it was useless. The power of World Law spells is a multiplication of primal space level and Dao Field level. In terms of primal space, my innate foundation was dozens of times weaker than others. How could I win?"

Fairy You Ling could completely bypass his projection, parasitize seeds, and even directly seize control of his troops. This was entirely because her primal space was ten, or even a hundred, times stronger than Zhao Xing's. Based on this, she could wield World Law, control the situation, and then unleash other spells, resulting in an absolute crushing victory. And her loss to Tuo Sen in the second-to-last match of the finals was based on the same principle. Tuo Sen's spells might not have been stronger than You Ling's, but his primal space was definitely superior.

"The weakest link in the bucket was too short, thus putting a limit on overall strength."

"Oh no, I'm losing control!"

Zhao Xing suddenly felt his primal space distorting, as if it were about to explode. However, the next second, the World-Fixing Towers emitted light, quickly stabilizing the space. "It was just a small mistake, but it almost caused an explosion. It's a good thing I bought the 10,000-point version of the cultivation method," Zhao Xing mused. He cultivated rapidly, but it was hard to guarantee he wouldn't make a mistake. One of the functions of the World-Fixing Towers was error correction and providing a safety net, reducing cultivation risks.

Zhao Xing paused for a moment, and his primal space became still. He was internalizing the errors in his cultivation method. Much later, after understanding the cause of this error, he resumed his actions.

"Continue."

Time flowed on, and Zhao Xing's cultivation progress for the first level of 'Primordial Chaos World' quickly reached 60%. At this point, two years and six months had passed since he became a disciple in the Primal World.

"With over 60% progress, my primal space is largely stable; the cultivation method change has been successful." Zhao Xing finally exhaled in relief. Being on the verge of explosion intermittently had put him under immense mental pressure. Had he not been in the Primal World, changing cultivation methods casually in the outside world would have been extremely dangerous, potentially leading to self-destruction. "Even at 60% of the first level, this is roughly twice as strong as the complete three-level construction of the original Primordial Sea World. Not bad."

"However, the construction speed has also slowed down. I'll take a break first." Zhao Xing decided to emerge from his seclusion. He wasn't in a rush to earn points, but rather planned to explore other treasure grounds of the Primal World.

As soon as he emerged from seclusion, he found several messages in his Star Mirror. They were from Jing Yan and Yu Tianqing.

"Yu Tianqing and Jing Yan both entered the Primal World, but Yu Tianqing made it to the very end, becoming one of the 300 artificers. Jing Yan, on the other hand, was merely among the top 8,000. After barely passing the qualifying round, he was eliminated in the first match."

Excluding agriculturists, the number of recruits for other professions was considerably higher. Naturally, their treatment also varied, divided into Seaweed Grass-level and Seaweed-level. However, during the discipleship phase, the quality of teachers would be somewhat inferior. Although Emperor Chixing hailed from the artificer profession, the Primal World was not where the most artificer powerhouses resided. Many of the Empire's key departments were where the true artificer grandmasters were found. Jing Yan and Yu Tianqing were already quite satisfied. For them, the artificer powerhouses in the Primal World were more than enough to instruct them.

"Jing Yan made significant progress in those 100 years, barely passing the third round, then barely passing the fourth. He truly doesn't know to work hard until the critical moment. This guy, he's been here for two and a half years and just wandering around? He's gotten lax again," Zhao Xing sighed, feeling helpless.

Jing Yan had a large pile of unread messages, all concentrated within these two and a half years. They recounted his experiences and observations in the treasure grounds of the Primal World. Zhao Xing read each message carefully, noticing that Jing Yan had become a bit more diligent in the last three months.

"Little bro, today I challenged the Thousand Star Dao Palace. It's a treasure ground for the Dao soldier style. I cleared five stages in one day and got 100 points. Pretty awesome, right? Little bro, today I've already cleared the sixth stage of the Thousand Star Dao Palace and got another 20 points, hehe. Do you need Five Elements Origin Stones? If you want them, I can buy them for you."

"Zhao Xing, I'm utterly done for. I can't pass the seventh stage. I've been stuck for two months, and today I got thoroughly beaten by the Dao soldiers inside. Sigh... I refuse to believe I can't get through it! I must get rid of this 'Seaweed Grass-level member' title, damn it! Zhao Xing, today I challenged a stage again and ran into that 'Guan Chen' guy. He's acting like such a pompous jerk, I can't stand it! I'm going to challenge him to an Imperial duel. Wait for my good news!"

After reading, Zhao Xing couldn't help but smile faintly. "When he achieves something, he calls me 'little bro,' but when he fails a challenge, he calls me 'Zhao Xing.' Typical him." His emotions were plainly visible, and his likes and dislikes were obvious. He wondered if Jing Yan had defeated that Guan Chen fellow.

"Prince Jing, there's no update on the Guan Chen matter, so I guess you didn't win, right? If you're weak, practice more, old friend, hahahaha—" Zhao Xing drafted this message and immediately sent it back.

After waiting a while, Jing Yan didn't reply. Zhao Xing then looked at the other messages. Yu Tianqing remained somewhat taciturn and serious:

"Brother Zhao, how have you been lately? I've become a disciple of 'Emperor Yin Qi.' My teacher is amiable, and his guidance over the past six months has yielded much benefit. I'm residing at number 160, Wudong District, Thousand Machines City. I also have two junior fellow apprentices..."

"Yu Tianqing became a disciple of an Emperor so early in this life; it seems his path will extend much further," Zhao Xing mused.

He briefly explained his own situation, then looked at the other letters. After getting a new Star Mirror, it became difficult for outsiders' letters to reach him. There weren't as many as before; among numerous people, only one 'outsider' managed to send a letter: Du Yun.

"Zhao Xing, congratulations on entering the Primal World. By the way, I heard Han Chuchen reincarnated into the Primal World and also entered it. He hasn't sought you out, has he? If he causes you any trouble, please do let me know. I will ask my master to intervene, as this would be considered an internal matter of my Primal Heavenly Palace."

"Who is Han Chuchen?" Zhao Xing was initially puzzled upon seeing Du Yun's letter. It was only after reading further that he realized Han Chuchen must be the Reincarnation Realm expert who took money to handle the matter of the Three Godly Fate Palace.

"It's him! That unlucky guy reincarnated too? Did he also go to the Primordial Sea Ancient Kingdom?"

Zhao Xing was unsure of the situation, so he called for Bagel and Xinda. "Has anyone come to visit during this period?"

"Yes, many," Bagel replied, extending his hand, and a large pile of visitation requests immediately appeared. There were over ten thousand of them.

"So many?" Zhao Xing was a little surprised.

"Your Lordship's apprenticeship with Senior Gu Luohe is a unique privilege, so naturally, many wish to make your acquaintance," Xinda explained. "However, as you were in seclusion, we only collected the visitation requests and declined all gifts."

"I see," Zhao Xing realized. The title of Gu Luohe's sole disciple naturally sparked much curiosity, as people wanted to understand what was going on and what made Zhao Xing so special.

"My Lord, how should we handle these?" Bagel asked.

"Regardless of who they are, ignore them all. Just say I am still in seclusion and not receiving guests," Zhao Xing instructed. He clearly understood the implications behind these visitation requests. However, while he dared to say it, would others dare to listen? Therefore, he concluded, it was better to handle it with a cold shoulder.

"Yes," Xinda was about to put away the letters.

"Wait a moment, was there a letter from someone named Han Chuchen?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Yes," Bagel replied, pulling one out and handing it to Zhao Xing.

"Never mind, just give me all the letters," Zhao Xing decided after a thought, opting to take them all and read through them. As expected, there were indeed some letters among them that he was keen to read. For example, Wu Tian, who was imprisoned by Meng Wu, had also sent him a letter. Wu Tian had taught him the Five-Finger Mountain technique and gifted him a wisp of heart light, which resided in his heart. Zhao Xing still had to accept his letter.

Zhao Xing then flipped through the rest and found no letters from Emperor Hongshan or Ancient Physician Tianchen. Back then, summoning the Nine Great Emperors and Wang Zhiyong involved too much karma. When Qingyuzi erased the memories of most people, he also severed the karmic ties; the Samsara Divine Palace handled such matters. However, three individuals were exceptions: Emperor Hongshan, Emperor Meng Wu, and Ancient Physician Tianchen.

"Emperor Hongshan and Ancient Physician Tianchen will surely not forget their promises and will seek me out sooner or later. If they're not coming now, it's either because they think my realm is too low and a letter would be useless, or it's simply inconvenient for them," Zhao Xing mused. "Never mind for now. Anyway, they can't do anything to me in the Primal World. If they push too hard, I'll just say, 'My master is Qingyuzi.' Let's see what Wu Tian wrote first."
