Chapter 2173: Chapter 6: Heavenly Mother of Thunder, Background of Guluo River (10,000 Words)

"Back then, the Red Star Empire led the way, and the Human Clan’s high ranks established a ceasefire agreement with the Demon Race, even opening the Transmission Building to share with the Demon Race Emperor."

"The empire was primarily focused on developing the Northwest Wilderness at the time. That was when I realized, in the short term, I would already have no place to apply my strengths."

Zhao Xing couldn’t help but say, "Brother Yun, why didn’t you come to me..."

Cloud Sky Dao shook his head, "Wilderness development is not my forte. I am merely the Minister of Agriculture from the Heavenly Time Sect; in wilderness development, at best, I can only manipulate the Rain of Spirit Qi. This kind of task, anyone can replace me, so why bother using me?"

"Emperor Wu wanted me to stay in Great Zhou and even offered me a stake in the Da Zhou Chamber of Commerce; yet, since I am neither an official of Great Zhou nor dare to accept any benefits from Great Zhou?"

Zhao Xing sighed helplessly in his heart, Cloud Sky Dao was too stubborn. If he were not from the Xuanhuang Realm, not the Grand Minister of Agriculture of the Xia Dynasty, it would have been different, perhaps he could have become my partner.

But because of this, he refuses to accept any benefits from Great Zhou.

Indeed, the Heavenly Time Sect has limited Cloud Sky Dao’s development. In wilderness development, the Minister of Agriculture from the Heavenly Time Sect truly has limited influence.

"My cultivation had been stagnant until you created the ’Annihilation Star Six Qi Theory,’ which gave me some inspiration." Cloud Sky Dao continued to recount the past.

"It was then that I started traveling through the Xuanling Star Domain, creating my own cultivation techniques while observing Yin Yang Stars in various places, observing the four seasons’ changes in the Spiritual Domain, and finally entered the Reincarnation Realm."

"About five hundred years later, I broke through to the Lord-level."

"I originally wanted to share this news with you, but at that time you had emerged from the Bai Han Realm, your whereabouts unknown, so I gave up."

Listening to Cloud Sky Dao, Zhao Xing couldn’t help but feel admiration bubbling up in his heart.

To realize during the Tao Domain Realm phase that the path of the Heavenly Time Dao was difficult to traverse and to create cultivation techniques reaching Lord-level, Old Yun truly is a genius, deserving to be a founding ancestor figure in the Xuanhuang Realm.

Cloud Sky Dao’s sources of information and channels for obtaining intelligence are far worse than mine, lacking in financial resources and opportunities compared to me. Yet, he relied on self-creation, cultivating the toughest Heavenly Time Sect, managing to reach the Lord-level.

"By then, I was already a Lord-level, having some fame in the empire’s Southern Border, considering myself a significant figure capable of requesting the Reincarnation Temple to resurrect Emperor Xia."

"Thus, I ventured to the Heaven Leisure Ancient Country, inquiring and endeavoring for years, only to finally discover it was all in vain."

"I stayed in the Heaven Leisure Ancient Country for over three hundred years, yet never entered the Reincarnation Temple, only encountering one of their foreign affairs members."

"It was after being rejected by the Reincarnation Temple that I felt utter disappointment. When the Mystic Spirit History Book released ancient history of the Yuanhai Ancient Country, I thought of the East Extending Ancient Clan’s past events and started collecting sacrificial treasures..."

Listening to Cloud Sky Dao’s recount, Zhao Xing sighed inwardly.

The right to resurrect from the Reincarnation Temple is extremely hard to obtain, available solely during massive wars, where the Reincarnation Temple would open a chance for resurrection to those Human Clan geniuses and warriors who died in battle.

Cloud Sky Dao, despite his prowess, remains negligible in the eyes of the Reincarnation Temple, and making such a request is virtually impossible to fulfill.

In peacetime, aside from stealing the Divine Extension Stele or using a sacrificial altar for resurrection, there are hardly any possibilities.

It was the East Extending Ancient Clan that set a rather poor precedent; Cloud Sky Dao, after being unable to find any help, also started considering those ways.

Since members of the East Extending Ancient Clan could achieve it, why couldn’t he emulate them?

"I couldn’t steal the Divine Extension Stele, but managed to acquire a Reincarnation Altar set."

"I personally dedicated myself to mastering the Sacrificial Path, and five hundred years after the Mystic Spirit History Book’s unsealing, I was ready."

"Wait, a set of Reincarnation Altar? Where did you obtain it?" Zhao Xing was somewhat puzzled; wasn’t this item banned? Could Old Yun have such capability?

"Of course, formal means are difficult. Many contemporary priests don’t even know how to arrange an altar. The crafting method of the five sacrificial instruments has been blocked, preventing their recreation."

"However, those already created can still be used."

"Upon restoring memories of the Yuanhai Ancient Country, the entire Heaven Leisure Ancient Country experienced some turmoil, and I seized the opportunity to visit the Illusion God Star System first."

"You excavated the Reincarnation Altar for the Tyrant Demon Queen pair from the Yueluo Cemetery?" Zhao Xing suddenly realized.

"Yes."

In the memory of the previous life, the development of the Illusion God Star System continued for over seven thousand years, the timeline roughly matching.

Back then, Zhao Xing connected with Du Yun due to providing Du Yun with a Void River Map of Yueluo Cemetery, which Du Yun shared with the Heaven Leisure Ancient Country.

From there, Zhao Xing gained a Time Page of the Mystic Spirit History Book and unearthed the Illusion Tree.

Ordinarily, my participation in this lifetime could have significantly accelerated progress.

However, after the Yuanhai Ancient Country incident, the Sacrificial Path was severed, the Yuanhai Ancient Country vanished, and numerous powerhouses reincarnated, slowing progress again. The key Reincarnation Altar remained unfound, unexpectedly getting obtained by Cloud Sky Dao instead.

"The result was obvious; I failed." Cloud Sky Dao continued, "I hid at the old site of the Yuanhai Ancient Country, hosting the sacrificial ceremony on a remote, uninhabited Star Land."

"Attempting to resurrect Emperor Xia and the Xia Dynasty remnants."

"I tried twice in total."

"The first time, I resurrected Emperor Xia, but he remained in a deranged state, while the civil and military officials couldn’t be revived at all; he soon committed suicide due to his madness."
