Shennong Dao Master

Chapter 1879: Chapter 18: So It Was You! Zhao Xing Has Been Kidnapped!

"The profound heavens manifest their signs, the Earth Power connects to the depths."

"The vapor cloaks the sun, the rain pours down upon the expanse."

"Rain Immortal holds the Gui across the Nine Realms, with clouds tripled in patterns."

"Arrange the thunder across the Nine Wilds and issue decrees, bestowing spiritual grace, awakening life."

"Now, the Tian Gui obeys under four suns, hewing the land for sacrifices and libations."

"Reverently burn the Tao Xuan, harvesting the stardust to craft elixirs."

"Open the course of Heavenly Time and calendar, and teach the gentle rain to nourish the wilds anew."

"..."

The chant resonated into the spiritual barrier. Zhao Xing, Yang Baihe, and others were swaying their heads as Ji Yuan suddenly stopped.

"The ’Rain Immortal Sacrificial Text’ sounds quite pleasing when recited in the Turtle Clan’s sacred language. Why did you stop?" Shi Yue asked.

"Can’t continue reciting," Ji Yuan shook his head, "the Sacrificial Spirit Document has sensed it; reciting further would commence the sacrificial ceremony."

"The lord hasn’t commanded yet, I must not spoil things."

"You’ve learned it all?" Yang Baihe asked.

"Naturally," Ji Yuan raised his chest proudly, "though I cannot assist in other aspects, in the sacrificial path, I indeed have some skill."

"Impressive," Yang Baihe praised, transmitting commendation through his spirit.

They were now within the Rain Immortal’s sacrificial area, the coordinates located on a piece of Star Land at the convergence of Cloud Immortal Realm and Rain Immortal Realm.

This small Star Land could be called the ’Sacrificial Continent.’

Though it is abundant in spiritual rain and fertile Earth Power, apart from numerous altars, it bears few traces of civilization.

For this is the landing ground of the ’Rain Immortal.’ The Upper Three Realms’ Spirit Void Holy Hall believes the Rain Immortal embodies the natural Dao, hence this place should retain its natural form.

Upon arriving, the attendants of the Demon Ape Prince began preparing for the sacrifice.

Though they did not develop the Starry Historian’s path, the sacrificial path flourishes, albeit not as strongly as the Xuanling Star Domain.

Ji Yuan needed only to hear and see the Rain Immortal Sacrificial Text once to fully grasp the crucial step—the invocation stage.

Yang Baihe’s acclaim was no exaggeration.

"The sewage professions from the Xuanling Star Domain crush this place, even in a weakened sacrificial system, it surpasses the Spirit Void Realm," Zhao Xing muttered inwardly.

At its core, the Xuanling Star Domain once had numerous Divines, with a complete system, whereas the Spirit Void Origin Realm did not.

Divine Objects abound in the Xuanling Star Domain, yet none are attributed here.

"Ji Yuan, what else do you need?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Master, if we kill the Demon Ape Prince, we need nothing, all is ready and available."

"If not, aside from the Rain Stone, we’ll need many items," Ji Yuan remarked, "though numerous steps are useless procedures they’ve concocted to show reverence to the Rain Immortal, plenty of items are still required."

"Such as the Sun Star Rotating Platform and Moon Star Rotating Platform, essential tools for adjusting the Sun and Moon Stars’ positions between realms."

"Also, seventeen kinds of source-less water, thirty-two jars of Dao Bone Feed, and many other items to prepare, totaling around seventeen thousand types."

Seventeen thousand types? Zhao Xing shook his head at the thought.

The Rain Immortal isn’t truly ’Divine,’ only a figment of imagination from the Spirit Void Origin Realm’s strongmen.

Essentially, it merges the ’Heavenly Time Change’ with the Desolate Domain’s cosmic phenomena.

Other marvels spawned from unique environments abound, such as the Stacked Realm Mountain.

Essentially, it can be regarded as a world-class creation of Spiritual Beauty.

Unlike the Mountain Spiritual Elegance from the Xuanhuang Realm, this is a Realm Spiritual Elegance, and it can be actively induced; only the steps to activate it are numerous.

As for why Ji Yuan sensed something, Zhao Xing guessed a Divine-level item exists in the Spirit Void Origin Realm. With ample years of sacrifice, it will elicit a ’Divine reaction’-like response.

Yet, Zhao Xing was clueless about the specific nature and location of this Divine Object.

Certainly, it wasn’t ’life,’ nor was it a God within the cultivation system.

Meanwhile, the Demon Ape Royal Family was collaborating with a group of Holy Hall Sacrificial Guards to construct the altar. Among the guards were members of the Turtle Clan and some resembling the Wolf Clan from other tribes.

As each altar required fresh construction, the project was substantial.

Also, since it wasn’t the large-scale, regular period for ’Rain Immortal Festival,’ assistance from the Holy Hall’s sacrificial guards was necessary for construction.

The Rain Immortal Festival is divided into large and small sacrifices; the personal bestowment process conducted by the Demon Ape Prince was called the Rain Immortal Minor Sacrifice.

It’s exclusive to the royal lineage of powerhouse races, intended particularly for breakthrough into the Reincarnation Realm.

"With seventeen thousand items needed, the Demon Ape Prince must die," Zhao Xing pondered.

"But the Prince’s breakthrough will certainly catch attention; wielding swords here will undoubtedly draw powerful figures from the Spirit Void Holy Hall."

Though Mr. Zhao can currently slay Ordinary Reincarnation Realm beings, relying on the Daoist Golden Cicada Robe and Void Grassman to escape from Senior Reincarnation Realm opponents, facing Lord-level foes would spell disaster.

Back then, when confronting Lord Tian Gui, fifty people united, all geniuses of their kind, finally exploiting the Boundary Volcano’s Earth Advantage to grievously wound Tian Gui.

Later, Tian Gui’s death wasn’t caused by Mr. Zhao.

Spirit Void Holy Hall possesses entities at Emperor Level!

Yet they are few; even after reviewing the Spirit Void Realm’s historical records in past lives, only the Master of the Holy Hall reached Emperor Level.

"The Rain Immortal Festival’s sacrifice, the opportunity mustn’t be missed. After the Empire breached here, this phenomenon vanished, surviving only in the records."

"Perhaps due to the destruction of the Sacrificial Continent, or someone took the ’Divine Object,’ leading to its disappearance."
