Chapter 516: Chapter 63: Nanqing Garden, Crushing the Weak with Sister

"Each of you take a step in the directions of the northeast, southwest," Zhao Xing said.

Xia Jing, Long Xiao, Chen Shijie, and Ji Ziyun did as told.

All four moved eastward, as Zhao Xing observed the Fortune Pillars of each.

Chen Shijie’s fortune worsened, showing signs of disarray in his destiny.

Ji Ziyun experienced the same, though not as pronounced as Old Chen.

Long Xiao and Xia Jing were unaffected, even showing faint signs of purple light falling into their fortunes.

"The east is Dao Feng Mountain Range, the place we visited before. Now it’s enclosed, and with more people, the eastern region has become perilous," Zhao Xing added.

"However, Xia Jing and Long Xiao’s fortunes in the east still hold, just showing signs of weakening," Zhao Xing pondered.

As for Old Chen and Ji Ziyun, continuing to stay in the Dao Feng Mountain Range would bring ominous signs.

Then Zhao Xing looked at the other directions for the four.

"The north and west are auspicious, while the south holds both good and bad omens, needing to turn peril into safety," Zhao Xing noted.

The south was Crimson Lake, a place they decided to avoid for now.

Zhao Xing calculated that the west was represented by the Tai Hexagram, ensuring alternating good fortunes.

The north symbolized danger in the second nine of the Kan Hexagram: seek little for safety.

Normally one would go west to Pengli Swamp, as that side is all good fortunes.

But the treasure in the Extreme Night Sea was essential for Zhao Xing; grabbing it earlier while fewer people were around was better.

Compared to Pengli Swamp, the treasures in Extreme Night Sea were vastly superior in value.

"Kan holds danger, the sought is not great; hence, the peril is minimal."

"My desires are significant, which could spell trouble, but the longer the delay, the greater the trouble. Better to head to Extreme Night Sea first."

"Our combined fortunes, along with my experience, should be able to withstand it," Zhao Xing assessed and decided to first travel to Extreme Night Sea.

The other four had no objections, so they immediately steered the Flying Boat northward.

"Reaching Extreme Night Sea will take at least a day and a half; I’m going to rest a bit."

"Oh? That’s rare to see," Xia Jing remarked. "Aren’t you the one who doesn’t sleep?"

"No need to roll up for just picking a treasure."

"Long Xiao, remember to steer clear around Forget Sorrow Stele and follow the map from Military Realm," Zhao Xing instructed.

"If you encounter a restricted area, just show the permit."

"No problem," Long Xiao nodded.

Why not let Old Chen pilot the Flying Boat? The fellow’s luck was poor, and there’s fear he might unknowingly steer into danger.

After giving instructions, Zhao Xing entered the cabin and closed his eyes to sleep.

In reality, he was reviewing memories from a past lifetime, contemplating the various benefits of Extreme Night Sea.

...

While his true self flew the Qilin Flying Boat northward, the grassman avatar was still at Spiritual Beauty Hot Spring.

When his true self had breached the heavenly gate, Ji Zixuan had already absorbed the fire fortune.

But as Murong Xue hadn’t emerged yet, it was a matter of waiting.

As his true self ventured into the heavenly gate for divination,

Murong Xue emerged from the hot spring, her gaze softening as she looked at Zhao Xing’s silhouette on the hilltop.

Luxuriating in a hot spring was not a privilege everyone had.

Without Zhao Xing leading the way, she might never have found such a marvelous place.

Yet, her eyes narrowing unconsciously as they fell on Ji Zixuan,

Jezebel!

She was so loud just now!

"Previously dressed provocatively and now pretending to be dignified... Humph, a true disciple of hers," Murong Xue scoffed disdainfully, staying a few miles away from Ji Zixuan as she quietly awaited Zhao Xing’s ’online’ return.

As Zhao Xing stayed offline, the two waited without communicating.

Since Ji Zixuan was aware of Murong Xue’s status, she had no interest in engaging her.

And Murong Xue knew Ji Zixuan was a disciple of Princess You Ruo.

The tension between their elders continued through the next generation, as they found each other disagreeable.

It was only after Zhao Xing and his group had dealt with the miraculous peak and proceeded to Extreme Night Sea,

That Zhao Xing’s grassman avatar finally ’reconnected’ and stood up from the hilltop.

"Senior brother," Ji Zixuan mediated beside Zhao Xing.

Not too close nor too distant, a perfectly measured proximity.

"Hmm. You all emerged?"

"Yes, thanks to your blessing, senior brother," Ji Zixuan bowed in gratitude.

Zhao Xing couldn’t help but take an extra glance at Ji Zixuan, finding her attire and demeanor strikingly different from before.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao," Murong Xue approached as she saw Zhao Xing come ’online.’

"Hmm," Zhao Xing nodded.

"Senior brother, where to next?" Ji Zixuan inquired.

"We’ll discuss that in a moment," Zhao Xing left unexplained.

He planned to tour the two around Dao Feng Mountain Range, leaving out the major fortune for them.

Second-tier fortunes, however, he could show the way.

Ten Suns Cave Heaven, plentiful in benefits, just leaking a bit would suffice for these two women.

But now, many parts of Dao Feng Mountain Range had been enclosed, set with Forget Sorrow Steles.

So Zhao Xing was currently waiting for his other avatar to catch up.

Ten Thousand Skill Grass Man, although not advancing greatly after passing through the heavenly gate, had moved from fourth rank to sixth!

As Ten Thousand Skill Grass Man advances, it could control more avatars; reaching sixth rank allowed Zhao Xing to operate eighteen such grassmen.

Half of these eighteen grassmen, meaning eight, were on their way.

Murong Xue, who appeared to be Lao Liu’s daughter, and Ji Zixuan, the favored disciple of Princess You Ruo,

Both had only recently advanced to seventh rank. He had to be vigilant to prevent them from encountering any issues.

"Let me use your Earth Mirror for a bit." During the waiting period, Zhao Xing didn’t idle but requested the Earth Mirror from Ji Zixuan to check the real-time status.

Currently, a specific map list was displayed within the Earth Mirror.
