Chapter 777: Chapter 28: Heavenly Time Ultimate Skill, Grand Minister of Agriculture Li Boqian (Da Zhang)_2

As for the avatars following Meng Kun and Gu Changqing, they set off relatively late, only just departing today.

The workload for the Earth Advantage Sect was always the heaviest. These two, being on an official mission from the Dao Yuan Continent to Pinghai State, were the last to leave.

Since Meng Kun and Gu Changqing were taking Zhao Xing back to the Dao Yuan Continent headquarters, there could still be other arrangements along the way. Therefore, Zhao Xing estimated that he would not fully settle into Kunyuan Academy until January of next year.

But Xuantian Academy had already arrived today.

Because Zhao Xing was heading not to the headquarters, but to the Xuantian Academy in Pinghai State’s Tianyuan Prefecture.

Why not the headquarters? There were many reasons.

First, Junior Agricultural Officer Wang Tianzhi still had official duties in Pinghai State. Geng Shouchang, Heng Yuan, and Sima Yunhai had to follow Wang Tianzhi to complete their tasks before returning.

Second, besides further studies at Xuantian Academy, Zhao Xing had to assume a position. Geng Shouchang promised him a role as either a Doctor of Governance at the branch or a Preaching Master at the main academy.

Considering Zhao Xing came as an avatar, Geng Shouchang, Heng Yuan, and Sima Yunhai decided to let him first serve as a Doctor of Governance at the branch in Pinghai State.

Handling various procedures at the branch first would make things much easier for his potential transfer to the main academy next year.

If he went straight to the main academy, it would likely cause a lot of opposition. Having merely a title was no big deal, but Zhao Xing wanted to practice top-level magic!

This involved certain resources and related interests.

For instance, training at the Star Palace, the Star Platform, the seven Secret Pattern Stars, and the Primordial Soul Liquid – all these were cultivation resources. Since they were resources, it led to distribution issues.

After all, Zhao Xing had come as a Ten Thousand Skill Avatar, which would inevitably displease some people.

If he sincerely came to study, there would be no problem. But what did it mean to send a Ten Thousand Skill Avatar?

Therefore, Geng Shouchang, Heng Yuan, and Sima Yunhai decided to settle the matter at the Tianyuan Prefecture Branch in Pinghai State first.

For Zhao Xing, it made no difference, as he still had the opportunity to study and comprehend at the Tianyuan Prefecture Branch.

He even preferred training at the Xuantian Academy’s Tianyuan Prefecture Branch, since he was just starting to practice top-level magic. It did not involve crucial resource locations, making it unnecessary to go to the headquarters.

Another reason was that the Grand Minister of Agriculture Li Boqian was hidden within the Xuantian Academy’s Tianyuan Prefecture Branch!

It might even trigger some kind of "hidden task" and yield some hidden rewards.

"It’s now November of the thirtieth year of the Jingxin Calendar. According to the development trajectory of the previous life, Li Boqian should have already arrived at the Tianyuan Branch."

"Wang Tianzhi, Geng Shouchang, Heng Yuan, and Sima Yunhai’s detour may very well be to report to Li Boqian," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Setting up a Canghai Cave Heaven wouldn’t require so many strong Minister of Agriculture figures.

Wang Tianzhi was a second-grade Junior Agricultural Officer and brought along more than a dozen third-rank officials.

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites Ji Shu Chang didn’t bring that many subordinates.

Of course, with the court valuing the East Sea so highly, it made sense to send this many people.

"I wonder if my guess is accurate and whether I’ll encounter Li Boqian," Zhao Xing contemplated.

If the Grand Minister of Agriculture Li Boqian did come, he would surely bring with him a set, or multiple sets, of Seasonal Orders.

Though it was unlikely to bring all twenty-four Seasonal Orders, as they were needed to stabilize the weather in other places too.

But, after all, it was the Minister of Agriculture Treasure! It would certainly be stronger than the Seasonal Orders crafted by the destitute Li Dynasty!

Even just looking at it would be extremely beneficial for cultivating the "Seasonal Order." frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

"It’s said that Li Boqian has three self-created ultimate secret techniques: ’Kunpeng Transformation,’ ’Near and Far,’ and ’Yuan Feng’"

"Among them, Kunpeng Transformation is the Internal Cultivation of Seasonal Transformation Method, and Near and Far is a Cloud Skill." Zhao Xing was unclear about what kind of skill Yuan Feng was.

In his previous life, he had only heard of this spell, and it never circulated afterward.

Reportedly, no one could learn this ultimate skill created by him.

"It’s said the secret technique ’Yuan Feng’ pointed directly to the ultimate spell, but it lacked the basic low- and high-stage foundations."

Many top-level spells had a foundational basis.

For instance, Zhao Xing could comprehend the top-level skill [Jiyuan Palace] because he had already learned [Endless Palace]; there was a connection between the Earth Palace Skills.

It was akin to laying a foundation.

[Jiyuan Palace] also had thirty-four specialized advanced stages and two hundred and seventy-three intermediate stages.

Which meant, if one could master these thirty-four advanced stages and two hundred and seventy-three intermediate Earth Palace Skills.

Then the difficulty of comprehending Jiyuan Palace would decrease.

Similarly, the Grassman Skill, from soul-binding grass man to soul-devouring grass man to Soul-devouring Dharma Body, followed a progression from simple to complex.

But Li Boqian’s "Yuan Feng" seemed to lack a foundational version.

"It’s rumored that he died before perfecting it, and without a clear path from the basics, understanding his Dao was indeed difficult," Zhao Xing mused.

"Just like my current self-created spell Thunderbolt Breaking Illusion Finger, if I didn’t reveal intermediate stages like Thunderbolt Noose and Thunder Palm, it would lack prerequisites and be difficult for others to learn."

Ultimate skills often had this problem. Some were so unique that only the creator could master them, leaving others unable to learn.

In the search for successors, deviations often occurred. For instance, the first-generation master might pass down an ultimate skill, but the second generation might not learn it fully or have different interpretations, missing a form or two, lowering it to a top-level skill.

Thus, after just three generations of deviation, an ultimate skill could be entirely lost, making finding a worthy successor crucial.

Under the guidance of Great Zhou, the Seventy-two Taoist Schools experienced significant changes, such as the Dharma Transmission Tower of the Li Fire Taoist School.
