Chapter 37: Grand Ceremony Deliberations, Patriarch Task, Yaksha Yin God! (Da Zhang)_3
"At your command!" Another batch of Minister of Agriculture Officials departed.
"The 36 fourth-rank Minister of Agriculture officers from the Fengchen Treasury, Zhihou Storehouse, and Yuanfeng Storehouse, immediately go to the three major warehouses to guard the supplies and high-order planting areas."
"Understood."
"All main officials of the Hundred Dao Office, take the Water Vein Instruments and monitor the 16 paths of Tianhe around the clock. Report immediately in case of any abnormalities..."
"Understood..."
Zhang Ping's command was impeccable, and soon the Ministers in the manor were in action.
Just as Zhao Xing was waiting for Zhang Ping to assign him tasks.
"Puh~"
Zhang Ping, who had risen halfway into the air, suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Zhao Xing's main body and clone immediately surrounded Zhang Ping.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and no one else saw.
"Mr. Zhang." Zhao Xing quickly supported the other, transferring a portion of Primordial Energy over.
"I'm fine." Zhang Ping shook his head.
"Sir, you are already severely injured." Zhao Xing held onto the other's hand, only to discover the Five Elements Qi inside Zhang Ping's body was continually rampaging.
The silk-like strands of Primordial Energy seeped into bones, meridians, and flesh, twisting like steel wires, snapping multiple meridians, and even breaking several bones.
Zhang Ping had previously engaged in magical combat with Zhou Huai and Lei Guangming, first in a spell duel, then in a soul-out-of-body battle.
Before that, he tried to stabilize the celestial phenomena by launching the Seasonal Order into the sky, which had already taken a heavy toll on him, leaving him severely injured.
"Sir, if you don't tend to your injuries soon, it might worsen. Your Inner Heaven and Earth is already in chaos, causing an Extreme Primordial Storm, which is ravaging your body." Zhao Xing said, "If you continue casting spells, the possibility of going awry and exploding to death is very high."
"I'm fine, don't worry." Zhang Ping smiled and said, "Temporarily, I won't die."
With that said, he prepared to command with a flick of his fingers.
"Let me do it." Zhao Xing pressed down his fingers, "Let me perform the Seasonal Order to stabilize the Heavenly Time."
"Chen An, to what extent have you cultivated your Seasonal Order?" Zhang Ping asked. "The Heavenly Time in the Prefecture City is not like in the commanderies."
"It is now early February, the natural cycle is the Start of Spring, and I've made some achievements with the Spring Token."
Seeing Zhang Ping still wanted to say something, Zhao Xing said: "With so many assisting, let me give it a try."
"If it doesn't work, you can intervene, sir."
Zhang Ping nodded at his words: "Alright."
Zhao Xing's main body flew another ten meters up, surpassing the rest of the Minister of Agriculture Officials.
Zou Yong and Ouyang Zhen, seeing it was Zhao Xing taking the lead, felt somewhat apprehensive.
They were unsure of what changes had happened.
"Having strong spell abilities doesn't necessarily mean you understand how to stabilize the Heavenly Time."
"Adjusting the changes of Heavenly Time requires years of immersion in Seasonal Orders, and understanding the various theories of the Heavenly Time Sect."
"Can Zhao Xing do it?" Zou Yong was somewhat skeptical, "Did something happen to Mr. Zhang?"
"Restoring the Heavenly Time, balancing Yin and Yang, whether more or less, is all about knowledge." Ouyang Zhen was somewhat expectant, "You're right, there's a big difference between practical faction and theoretical faction, which also creates a distinction between Literary and Military Minister of Agriculture."
"But if he can perform top-level Thunder Skills with the Ten Thousand Skill Avatar, what's impossible?"
"Let's just watch."
Zou Yong nodded and waited for Zhao Xing to cast the spell.
After Zhao Xing flew up, the 24 Seasonal Orders within his Dantian started rotating rapidly.
Soon, one pale green Spring Token lit up.
"Heavenly Time and Seasonal Order, heed my command!"
"Start of Spring!"
Zhao Xing extended a finger, and the magical Seasonal Order floated skyward immediately.
Simultaneously, the Da Li Jieqi Order fused in his Dantian also began to glow slightly.
Zhao Xing's original realm was the Sixth Stage of Ding Realm.
But now with the support of the Seasonal Token, he instantly reached the Perfect State of Ding Realm.
For the three main stages of the Seasonal Order, Know, Fix, Change.
The Perfect State of Ding Realm is essentially the upper limit that third-rank Minister of Agriculture officers can touch.
Even within the high grades, let alone Second Grade, very few can reach the Third Realm and change the Heavenly Time.
Only Minister of Agriculture at the First-Grade Realm will enter the third stage.
But even then, it's just reaching it for an individual Seasonal Order.
As for a Grand Minister of Agriculture, they fully enter the Third Realm, with treasures assisting, ensuring complete perfection in the Third Realm.
At the moment Zhao Xing released the Spring Token Seasonal Order, the world immediately fell silent.
A surge of vitality erupted from the ground, and the thunderclouds above dissipated.
"What? This Seasonal Magic Decree of his actually reached the Perfect State of Ding Realm?" Zou Yong was stunned.
"Every generation produces talents." Ouyang Zhen clenched his fist excitedly, "Our Heavenly Time Sect has produced another supreme genius!"
Zhao Xing, though just a fifth-rank official, was at the Fourth Grade Perfect Realm.
He could use the Heavenly Time Technique to cut down a third-rank, and now this Heavenly Time Decree is also at the Second Realm Perfect.
It was astonishing.
"This child's future is limitless." Zhang Ping also glanced up at the sky.
Then he focused on recovering from his injuries.
"The restoration of Heavenly Time is set to 13:00." Zhao Xing's voice spread out. "Jun Yang, Xiang Fire, sixteen revolutions and four quarters return Qi."
"Eastern Shaoyang advances nine revolutions and eight quarters, Western Jue Yin eight revolutions and four quarters."
"..."
Zhao Xing naturally had read "Wu Cheng's Heavenly Time Theory · Four Seasons Volume."
This was a heavenly time theory written by the founding Grand Minister of Agriculture, Wu Cheng.
It summarized the celestial phenomena observed in the Xuanhuang Realm for nearly a thousand years.
This theory of heavenly time is applicable when the celestial phenomenon is disturbed by two hours.
It emphasized matching the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches with the Four Seasons, weakening the matching of the Five Elements.
Wu Cheng believed that as long as the Stems and Branches and the Four Seasons were in balance, then the Five Elements Qi between heaven and earth would not be chaotic and would revert to the proper position.
Due to different environments in various states, the Five Elements Qi in some places is relatively chaotic, constantly interfering with the Yin Qi and Five Elements Power in the earth veins.
