Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield Chapter 1248 - 539: Zhao Feng: I Want the Tunnel Authority! (2)
Previously on Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield...
Able to transform an already bodyless Ping Xin to this state, affecting her fundamental emotions, without a doubt, it’s only the ancestral witch of the past, her closest kin.
"Because."
Zhao Feng slightly raised his head, steadfastly looking at Ping Xin, "I have mastered the Human Dao. Moreover, I know the secret of the Three Paths of Heaven, Earth, and Human."
"Furthermore, because I bear the bloodline of the Creator God, Pangu God."
Zhao Feng spoke with solemnity, his voice steady and powerful.
Then!
The aura around Zhao Feng began to surge, a powerful bloodline power slowly emanating from within him.
This power was ancient and pure, carrying a breath from ancient times.
At this moment, a bloodline power originating from the most ancient of this world presented itself in front of Ping Xin.
The force was like an invisible torrent, surging in the air, exuding an aura of awe.
Even the ancestral witch bloodline of the past could not compare to Zhao Feng’s purity of bloodline, for Zhao Feng’s is purely Pangu’s bloodline.
If it were any other bloodline power, Zhao Feng would not integrate with it, but Pangu’s bloodline, that would cause no harm.
Because all beings of Primordial Heaven and Earth evolved from Pangu’s bloodline.
Except for those Chaos Demon Gods that entered the Primordial World, all other beings were transformed by Pangu. After all, the Human Race is as well.
"Heaven Dao, Earth Dao, Human Dao!"
"Why is it? Why do you know, yet I do not?"
Ping Xin gazed at Zhao Feng, inquiring once more.
She took a slight step forward, her eyes fixated on Zhao Feng, as if at this moment she was truly earnest, no longer as indifferent as before.
"Because when you transformed into the underworld to open up the Earth Dao, Hong Jun took action to suppress the true Earth Dao."
Zhao Feng spoke without hesitation, slowly stating, "Even though, with the power of the Earth Dao, you possessed a Primordial Spirit, and even held a Saint-level combat capability within the underworld, eventually, the Earth Dao never fully revived."
"Whereas, the Human Dao I hold was not suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, its Qi Fortune vast as the ocean, thus naturally able to see through the essence of the Three Paths, and even perceive the essence left behind by Pangu God’s benevolence of the past."
Zhao Feng spoke gravely, with conviction and a deep understanding of the essence of Primordial Heaven and Earth.
Indeed, Zhao Feng, relying on his present deduction, after extensive discussion with Supreme, was even more certain about what is termed the grand momentum, suggesting every group that entered tribulation was virtually a victim of Hong Jun’s machinations.
Perhaps!
When Pangu God initially opened the heavens, he intended for the myriad clans within the Primordial World to thrive and multiply. There might be struggles, but everything remained constrained within the great calamity, under the constraint of karma and merit points, eventually allowing Primordial Heaven to advance.
However, due to Hong Jun’s emergence.
Though karma entered tribulation, under his influence, things ran entirely according to Hong Jun’s will.
"Did you come to the underworld this time just to tell me these things?"
Ping Xin stared at Zhao Feng, questioning once more. Her gaze revealed a hint of fatigue, as if she was somewhat tired of all this.
"No." Zhao Feng shook his head, then spoke, "Today, aside from revealing the truth to you, hoping you will not further immerse into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, I also wish to offer you hope."
"At the same time, I, wish to obtain the Tunnel Authority."
As the words fell!
Zhao Feng gazed at Ping Xin, speaking frankly, without concealing his intention in the slightest.
At this moment.
A conviction for the Tunnel Authority was evident in Zhao Feng’s eyes. Having come here, he naturally made up his mind.
After all, this is the very reason Zhao Feng came to the underworld this time.
Tunnel Authority!
Human Dao Authority!
Only by mastering these two paths might it be possible to suppress Hong Jun.
However, the Tunnel Authority is in Ping Xin’s hands. Zhao Feng’s revelation of Hong Jun’s secret was fundamentally aimed at this purpose.
Only in this way does Zhao Feng have a chance to acquire the Tunnel Authority from Ping Xin, only thus can he fully control the underworld.
"Tunnel Authority."
"You really dare to make such a request?"
Ping Xin spoke with an unperturbed voice, still calm, though angry, she did not lose her rationality.
She slightly squinted her eyes, observing Zhao Feng, a few scrutinizing glances within her gaze, "Although I care not, why should I give it to you?"
After all, nothing in this world comes without reason.
Even though Ping Xin may not care much for authority or the underworld, for countless years, she remained within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, paying the underworld no heed.
However, gifting it without cause to others is impossible.
"Please look, Madame."
Zhao Feng smiled, raising a hand.
A Spirit Root seed appeared in mid-air, confined by Zhao Feng’s Gang Yuan.
The seed emitted a faint glow, remarkably visible in the dark underworld.
Then!
Zhao Feng’s Gang Yuan moved, unleashing the power of Chaos Rules.
The force, like an invisible vortex, circled around the seed. Then, it directly evolved into the power of Time Rule—a mysterious and mighty force seemingly capable of regulating the growth rhythm of all things in the world.
Under the power of time, the seed began to sprout rapidly.
Tender green shoots broke through the seed coat, like a nascent life struggling to emerge.
It then grew into a sapling, which swiftly elongated its stem and sprouted tender green leaves.
Thereafter, it directly transformed into a young tree, its roots quickly embedding and spreading around.
In the blink of an eye, it became a towering tree, more than ten zhang high, with a robust trunk and lush foliage, thriving in the light of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Then, swiftly, it transformed into a hundred-zhang tall giant tree, its branches and leaves covering the sky, as if to shroud the entire underworld in its shadow.
Beyond the borders of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Ksitigarbha and the Ten Halls Yama all looked on inexplicably, greatly puzzled.
"What is the Crown Prince of Qin doing?" King Qinguang frowned, questioning puzzledly.
"This... seems to be the rumored power of Time Rule." Chu Jiang King widened his eyes, astonished, "Turning a seed into a towering tree in an instant."
"The power of the Crown Prince of Qin is truly terrifying. To think he mastered such a formidable rule power as Time Rules." King Songdi remarked with amazement, "No wonder the Heavenly Court can no longer suppress the Qin Court."
"With the Crown Prince of Qin’s strength, rarely can anyone rival him; this power of Time Rule is too terrifying." Ksitigarbha was equally astounded, a sense of reverence flashing in his eyes.
"However."
"Judging from this moment, the Crown Prince of Qin seems not to have angered the Madame."
King Qinguang questioned with some confusion, baffled, "Why, then, was the Madame enraged just now?"
"Let’s keep watching."
"The Madame’s sudden anger this time must involve something major."
Chu Jiang King stated gravely, though Zhao Feng showed little, he nonetheless conveyed a sense of worry, feeling strongly that a major change would come to the underworld after today.
The feeling was potent, very evident.
Nevertheless.
To the Poisoned Yama, they could only watch here at the moment, unable to leave.
Their gazes fixated on the direction of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, anticipating the development.
Turning back.
Seeing Zhao Feng suddenly exhibit the power of Time Rules, Ping Xin seemed to have an understanding.
A mix of complex emotions flashed in her eyes, surprise mingling with a strong sense of anticipation.
"Unexpectedly, you could comprehend Time Rules to such an extent."
"Even my brother, who holds the Time Rules, never reached this level." Ping Xin slowly remarked.
"Madame doesn’t think."
"This is your future hope?"
"Should there ever be a day when I can wield Time Rules to the extent of genuinely reversing time, returning to the time of the Witch-Demon War, it might be possible to save your brother."
"This is the leverage I offer the Madame for the Tunnel Authority." Zhao Feng raised his head, fixing his gaze on Ping Xin.
