Chapter 720: Chapter 19: Top-level Dharma Body, Canghai Cave Heaven, Competition for Quotas_2

"Once you have cultivated these seven top-level Dharma Bodies, you can be considered to have achieved Small Accomplishment in the Top-level Skills,"

"Afterward, it’s about combining paths. The Grassman Skill can be created and transformed at will, no longer limited to just these eighty-one kinds."

Zhao Xing nodded. If one possessed the seven top-level Dharma Bodies, it would indeed be difficult to kill them.

"As for other matters, let’s not talk about grand but unattainable goals, since I’ve only achieved a minor accomplishment myself. I won’t speak of things I don’t understand and risk misleading you."

"Yes, Teacher," Zhao Xing nodded.

Small accomplishment? Liu Tianning had once again, in an imperceptible manner, pulled one over on him.

But upon hearing this, Zhao Xing was startled: Did this mean that Liu Tianning already possessed seven Dharma Bodies?

"Alright, go attend to your matters," Liu Tianning prepared to ’log off.’

His Dharma Body had come solely for teaching. With the lesson over, it was natural for him to ’log off’ and reduce the dispersion of his energy.

"Wait a moment, Teacher," Zhao Xing suddenly called out.

"What’s the matter?"

Zhao Xing pondered before speaking, "During my recent cultivation of the Ten Thousand Skill Avatar, I encountered a ’Ruishui Avatar’ while searching in the depths of the sea, I found an ancient chest."

Liu Tianning listened quietly.

"Sealed within the chest were two fruits. After bringing them back for examination, I discovered that they were the Ninth-order Primordial Spirit Fruits, as recorded in the Great View Scripture!"

"Primordial Spirit Fruits?" Liu Tianning’s face also showed a touch of surprise. "Are you certain they are Primordial Spirit Fruits?"

"Please have a look, Teacher." Zhao Xing took out a Primordial Spirit Fruit that he had prepared earlier.

Liu Tianning took it and inspected it closely, then said, "It really does match the description in the Great View Scripture."

"I’ve already consumed it. Eating just less than a third of it led me to break through to the Fourth Grade Life Soul, its efficacy is the same as described in the Great View Scripture."

"I wish to present this fruit to you, Teacher," said Zhao Xing.

Lao Liu hadn’t treated him badly, so he wanted to give something back to Liu Tianning.

He hadn’t planned to offer it so early.

But now that Liu Tianning had already researched the Grassman Skill to the extent of ’seven top-level Dharma Bodies.’

While admiring Liu Tianning’s innate talent for the Grassman Skill, Zhao Xing also sounded an alarm in his heart.

From this point on, it was clear that Lao Liu started to exhibit side effects due to overreaching. That is to say, once the seven Dharma Bodies began to manifest, Liu Wanfa was on the path to becoming ’Liu Banfeng.’

Over the next few hundred years, these side effects would only worsen and eventually become uncontrollable.

Primordial Spirit Fruits could effectively alleviate the side effects of mental split, but they had to be consumed as soon as possible.

By the time Emperor Wu ascended to the throne and later acquired the Primordial Spirit Tree, it would merely be a symptomatic rather than a fundamental solution.

"Primordial Spirit Fruits..." Liu Tianning pondered, "Very well, I will accept it, and I will consume it once my true self can make the time."

"No, Teacher. Take the Primordial Spirit Fruit back to your true self for consumption now," Zhao Xing insisted.

"I only brought three top-level Dharma Bodies this time," Liu Tianning frowned, "If I leave, you here..."

Liu Tianning had stationed a top-level Dharma Body on the Twin Islands because he had heard about Zhao Xing’s assassination attempt by Jin Hou General in the East Sea.

Although Zhao Xing had handled it, such incidents could happen again. He was worried about his disciple’s safety.

"Don’t worry, Teacher. I’m safe until I’m officially appointed," said Zhao Xing, "Currently I’m a Sixth-Rank Official. The official appointment in April is still two months away, which is enough time for you to make several round trips."

"It would be incredibly unlucky if I were assassinated right after you left."

If he were that unlucky, he might even doubt whether the fortune of Yan Wu was genuine.

"Alright," Liu Tianning wasn’t one to dawdle and immediately left the Twin Islands.

Seeing Lao Liu leave, Zhao Xing also breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn’t want Lao Liu to go insane too soon.

Even if he consumed all three Primordial Spirit Fruits, he wouldn’t reach the Third-rank Life Soul.

The Primordial Spirit Fruits had the effect of healing a split in the Life Soul. Since Lao Liu had reached this juncture, it was only natural to part with one.

After consuming the two fruits, it would still be a year later, and if by then the foolish bird had recovered, he could be sent to gather a few more.

It was also a good opportunity to see the effect on Liu Tianning, given that he had to face this challenge himself.

"Lao Liu is feeling his way across the river by feeling the stones, and I’m feeling my way across by following Lao Liu. I don’t know how long he can keep walking normally, but let’s take it one step at a time," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"Primordial Spirit Fruits, the divine healer Li Fuhai... If these measures prove beneficial for Lao Liu, I’ll have a reference too."

...

On the fourth day of the fourth month of the Jingxin Calendar, Qingming Festival.

As it was the thirtieth year, the sacrificial ceremony activities in the Jingxin Calendar were grander than usual.

All the counties under Chongming Prefecture began their yearly sacrificial activities.

Offerings to the gods and homage to heaven and earth took place over half a month. During this time, most military activities were suspended, and even the intensity of the Southern Barbarian Battlefield was somewhat reduced.

Zhao Xing’s Twin Dragon Horse Supervisor, part of the Chenghua Bureau, participated in the grand sacrificial ceremony of the royal mausoleum of Chongming Prefecture.

The main deities worshipped were the Grand Ancestor, Emperor Wen, and Princess You Ruo’s great-grandmother Bixia Yuanjun.

"After the ceremonies, it’s time for governance adjustments."

"With the decennial official reshuffle and the turmoil in the East Sea, I fear there will be quite a few movements this time," Zhao Xing said in the Dragon Horse Guard, putting down the official document.

This was a letter from the Dragon Horse Supervisor of Chongming Prefecture, Wang Xuan Yi, asking Zhao Xing for his thoughts on the reshuffle.

"Of course, I want to stay on the Twin Islands; otherwise, it would all be for nothing," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

If he were transferred, even if he received a proper Fifth-rank official position, it would still be a demotion in disguise.

Because by now, the Twin Island Dragon Horse Prison had already fought its way out of the fierce competition at the Purple Cloud Islands’ great arena.
