Chapter 678: Chapter 11: Eight Years Later, News of Mi Fei, Breakthrough to Fifth Rank!_6

"The first ten years went smoothly, and he quickly rose to the standard seventh rank."

"After that, for thirty years, when he was a hundred years old, he reached the standard fifth rank."

"But for some unknown reason, in the following fifty-four years, he remained stuck at the fifth rank."

"For fifty-four years, he was transferred to seventeen different places, never staying at one place for more than three years before being reassigned or dismissed."

"From secondary fifth rank to standard fifth rank, and from standard fifth rank back to secondary fifth rank, he experienced this up-and-down cycle multiple times. The strange thing was, every time he was demoted, he would be promoted again shortly after."

"Until the 17th year of the Jingxin Calendar, he was demoted to the standard sixth rank and was assigned to Returning Ruins City. This time, however, it took until this spring for him to get promoted again."

"It was at this time that my uncle finally locked onto him from the list of officials in Guangling State."

"This old fellow is completely unreliable."

Xia Jing sighed, "He worked as a teacher at Shangluo Academy, served as a Military Minister of Agriculture Officer in the Qianyue Army of Yuanpin State, switched careers to become a Forging Master at Heavenly Workshop, and towards the end of the Dingxin Calendar, he even served as an Inspector before changing careers again to become a Martial Artist."

"Five years ago, he even took the exams to be a government music master and a Dance Master. It’s said that he’s pretty good at painting too, and he can create Preaching Paintings..."

"I wondered why I couldn’t find him. He rarely did any Minister of Agriculture work over these decades. The key point is that he was actually able to pass the exams and received good performance evaluations. He truly is a genius..."

Zhao Xing listened to Xia Jing’s complaints, his eyes brightening more and more.

Yes, yes, yes, it’s him!

Mi Fei is indeed a genius!

Otherwise, how could he have created the ’Xuanhuang Analysis Technique’?

Zhao Xing took a deep breath, saying, "Brother Xia, he’s exactly the person I’m looking for!"

"Please tell me, where is he now?"

Xia Jing said, "He has been assigned to the Star Ruins Realm in Guangling State, serving in Returning Ruins City."

"Star Ruins Realm?" Zhao Xing frowned, "Why haven’t I heard of it?"

Xia Jing replied, "According to my uncle, the Heavenly Mechanism Hall calculated that this small world is nearing the end of its life and will soon enter the ’Annihilation Period.’"

"The place is vast and extremely chaotic. Because it has many entrances, it has always been contested by various factions."

"It has never been classified within the Military Realm of Great Zhou, because Great Zhou only occupies a small part of it."

"The exact location of the Star Ruins Realm might not even be within Great Zhou, since Great Zhou only controls the ’entrance gate.’"

Hearing ’entrance gate,’ Zhao Xing understood.

No wonder he hadn’t heard of it. Worlds accessed through such entrance gates move within the void and their positions are elusive.

The corresponding entrance in the Great Thousand World is unstable. The entrance gate was stabilized by a Divine Weapon Formation created by ancient sects.

If the entrance gate is lost, it means losing contact with the small world forever, unable to find it again.

"Got it," Zhao Xing said.

"Do you need my uncle to do anything else?" Xia Jing asked, "The place is in Guangling State."

"No need." Zhao Xing smiled, "I have connections in Guangling State, remember?"

"Ah, right." Xia Jing suddenly realized, recalling how Zhao Xing sold spots for the Ten Suns Cave Heaven back in the day, accumulating many favors.

"Be careful in the Southern Desolate. You’re just a commander now," Zhao Xing reminded him.

"Don’t worry, I know." Xia Jing replied, "It’s hard to kill me anyway. With my Inner Cultivation of Gluttonous Food and Outer Xuanwu Shield, even a fourth rank might not be able to kill me."

"You be careful in the East Sea as well. I’ve heard it’s been unsettled in recent years with evil sects appearing."

"Don’t worry," Zhao Xing said, "I’m keeping a low profile, farming quietly. No one will find me."

...

After ending the call with Xia Jing, Zhao Xing received detailed information sent by him through the Earth Mirror.

After reading it several times, Zhao Xing became increasingly excited.

"Mi Fei, oh Mi Fei, I’ve had such a hard time finding you!"

"Thirteen years, do you know how I lived through these thirteen years?" Zhao Xing was exhilarated.

Since entering the Ten Suns Cave Heaven, he had asked Chen Shijie and Long Xiao to look for him.

Xia Jing had only been searching for ten years, but Zhao Xing had been looking for Mi Fei for thirteen years.

"Now that I have news of you, I no longer have to wait."

On the Cloud Rain Ship in the sea, Zhao Xing’s true self immediately began breaking through to the Pure Essence of Fifth Grade.

With Mi Fei appearing, there was no need to wait any longer.

Because over the years, all his spells had already reached High Order Perfection!

Except for the three secret scriptures and Ten Thousand Skill Avatar, Zhao Xing had nothing left to practice!

Now that he had Mi Fei’s whereabouts, he believed he would soon obtain the "Xuanhuang Analysis Technique," making it possible to start developing Pure Essence Soil.

Of course, he needed to break through to the Pure Essence of Fifth Grade immediately!

"Pure Essence of Fifth Grade, break through for me!"
