Chapter 715: Chapter 18: Divine Court Seasonal Order, Void Seed, The Legend of Ascension! (10,000-Word Da Zhang)_3
At this moment, he dreamt of the Earth Soul, with the phantom of a bird standing on his shoulder, holding a piece of paper in its beak that bore no words. Yet Zhao Xing could sense the content, which was consistent with the contract he had signed with the Dream Palace.
"From what I can see, I am still safe, at least until I have control over this treasured ’One Dream Heaven and Earth.’ " Zhao Xing thought to himself, having epoch-making awareness, he still tended to trust his judgment.
"The future Marquis Xian, with average strength, but that’s relative to his later version. He had already possessed the strength of Fourth-rank Realm when he offered the treasure."
"He offered such a great treasure and was only appointed as a marquis, but he received many other rewards, with his merit rank elevated to the same level as Tian Shan’s ancestor."
"Marquis Xian was caught in an awkward position, he offered a treasure when he was at Fourth-rank, but his abilities were only average. High-grade official positions, one radish for each hole."
"Emperor Wu doesn’t like flatterers and for Marquis Xian, old and with poor talent, it’s hard to give him an opportunity even if one wants to."
Having prophetic foresight and a vision beyond his version, Zhao Xing quickly confirmed that the Dream Palace was indeed a big opportunity.
And as his strength improved, it slowly started to show itself.
If it were someone else, they might be anxious about gains and losses, but Zhao Xing quickly recovered and detached from the dream.
"The Primordial Spirit Fruit in this era already ranks as the third tier among consumable treasures," Zhao Xing thought to himself, "The Ninth Rank soul-class fruits can even compare to the treasures of this world."
Above Ninth Rank, treasures are categorized into two levels: [World’s Marvel] and [Unparalleled Treasure].
The Primordial Spirit Fruit is a Ninth Rank soul-class fruit.
It not only enhances the Life Soul but also strengthens the Earth Soul.
The Earth Soul is the cause-and-effect soul, meaning that it will make one more sensitive to cause and effect.
"I, being at the Perfect Fifth Grade now, can only eat a bit of the Primordial Spirit Fruit at a time. According to that silly bird’s estimate, it will take three years to fully digest."
"My Life Soul is currently at the Late Stage of Fifth Grade, I wonder to what level it can elevate me."
It is unprecedented for someone of the Fifth Grade to consume a Ninth Rank Primordial Spirit Fruit, and thus Zhao Xing had no precedents to estimate from.
However, because he was consuming it little by little, the possibility of his Life Soul bursting was non-existent.
"My physical body is now at the Perfect Fifth Grade, and my Life Soul could totally jump a major rank and reach the Fourth Grade Perfect first."
Doing this might result in an imbalance of yin and yang for others, with the soul residing in the body becoming too strong while the physical body weakens, leading to adverse effects.
But Zhao Xing didn’t need to worry about all that.
Why not?
Firstly, because his physical body was already very strong, having achieved golden bone during that opportunity in Ten Suns Cave Heaven.
Secondly, after breaking through to the Fifth Grade, what he developed was the Ten Thousand Skill Dao Body, and if the body was a house, then his ’house’ was much larger than those of ordinary Fifth Grade individuals.
Thirdly, Zhao Xing had cultivated the Ten Thousand Skill Grass Man, and if it really came down to it, he could divide his soul and let the Ten Thousand Skill Grass Man share the burden of the pressure on his Life Soul.
"I’ll eat it when I get back." Zhao Xing still needed to prepare.
He didn’t return to the Twin Island Dragon Horse Prison, after all, it was still not as safe as the inland.
So he returned to Bixian County, and after coming out from underground, he took the eight Heavenly Maidens aboard the Qilin Flying Boat back to Dongyang County.
Why is the home in Dongyang County safer and more hidden than Twin Islands?
Because of the presence of the registered land.
Private land, enter by invitation only, this rule has a strong restrictive effect.
In the 27th year of the Jingxin Calendar, Zhao Xing asked Princess You Ruo to register his land under the Princess Mansion.
Because although Zhao Xing wasn’t a vassal of Princess You Ruo, his father Zhao Ruide was.
Even if someone wanted to spy on him, it wouldn’t be possible, and the secrecy would actually be higher than that of the Twin Dragon Horse Supervisor’s.
Additionally, by staying in Dongyang County, he could also check for information and look for the origins of the other two treasures.
"And it’s a good time to go back and see my brother and sister."
In the 21st year of the Jingxin Calendar, in November, Zhao Ruide learned that Mrs. Cai was pregnant.
In the 22nd year of the Jingxin Calendar, in September.
Mrs. Cai gave birth to a girl, whom Zhao Ruide named Zhao Yuhuan, with the nickname Zhu Zhu, who was now exactly seven years old.
As for his brother, Zhao Zheng, he was already twenty-two years old. He had entered the Bishui Daoist Academy at fourteen and had been studying there for eight years.
"It turns out I am thirty-three myself." Zhao Xing felt a touch of sentimentality.
When he returned to his home in Dongyang County, the Zhao Mansion instantly became lively.
Zhao Ruide took leave from his superiors to come home to see his son, and Zhao Zheng also returned from the Daoist Academy.
The Zhao Mansion was bustling, slaughtering pigs and sheep as if celebrating a festival.
"Why all this formality, Dad? I’m at home most of the time," Zhao Xing said with a smile, watching Zhao Ruide continually instructing the servants.
"What do you mean ’at home’? Can that thing you call a Dharma Body even be considered being home?" Zhao Ruide replied with a sidelong glance, "You spend most of your day in your own yard, neither leaving your gate nor your door. Occasionally, in the middle of a conversation, you just space out."
"That’s because I’m busy with official duties," Zhao Xing said, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
He left one of his Ten Thousand Skill Avatars at home, one with Sword Qi, and it was the strongest in combat among the nine.
Of course, most of the time, Zhao Xing was ’offline,’ so he seemed a bit odd.
"Now that you’re back, take some good rest and spend more time with Zhu Zhu," Zhao Ruide said in a low voice, "You’ve become the ’foolish brother’ in her mouth now."
"What?" Zhao Xing was stunned, "What’s going on?"
"What do you mean ’what’s going on’? Just look at what you’re like usually? You space out while talking, and when you’re called, you can’t hear. Zhu’er often asks me if her big brother is a fool."
