Chapter 37: The Grand Ceremony, Patriarch's Quest, Yaksha Yin God! (Da Zhang)
Therefore, weakening the operation of the Five Elements Qi and emphasizing the adaptation of the Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branches with the Four Seasons can be universally applied across the Xuanhuang Realm.
This theory of Heavenly Time has been used by the Minister of Agriculture of the Great Zhou to this day.
"Today, before the Mao Hour, the sky became bright because Prince Liang rebelled. By using a Divine Artifact, he split the Qi Fortune of two prefectures, causing temporal disorder."
"All the calendars are also in disarray. The Minister of Agriculture Officials who adjust the celestial phenomena find it easy to make mistakes," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "Now that I'm leading a correction, it might still be in error, but at least it's not terribly wrong."
"Because my Inner Five Elements Heavenly Time has always been stable, aligning internally and externally, it would not cause a time lapse. This is the auxiliary effect generated by the Yin Yang Self Scripture."
As for why discrepancies still exist, it's because the disturbance caused by Prince Liang's manipulation of time was significant enough.
Zhao Xing, standing between heaven and earth, must abide by the rules of this world—his Dao and perceptions.
To fully correct things, only Li Boqian can achieve it, for only he can truly achieve a 'perfect correction.'
His corrections truly conform to the ultimate principles of Heaven and Earth because he has achieved Third Realm Perfection.
Of course, what Zhao Xing has done so far is already sufficient.
"The Six Qi returned to the level on the eve of the rebellion, at least as I feel it, it is already completely consistent with the past," Zhao Xing contemplated. "In my view, it is perfect."
He overlooked the surroundings of Tianhe Prefecture City, with the heavenly time corrected, the Five Elements Qi within the area ceased to riot, halting its further deterioration.
The effect is comprehensive; even the pulsations of Earth Veins are expected to calm down gradually in the following days.
While there may still be slight disturbances, it won't reach the extent of causing the ground to tremble and mountains to sway.
"This is fundamentally managing the issue. To merely apply spells to one place is merely treating the symptoms."
This was Zhao Xing's first time using a Heavenly Seasonal Order on a large scale, and also addressing the seasonal influences in a prefectural region.
Assisted by multiple Fourth and Fifth Rank members.
His mastery of the Eighth Rank Top Quality Season Token deepened.
"From practical understanding during combat, my control over the Eighth Rank Spring Token has improved by another five percent."
Zhao Xing's gaze shifted to a mountain outside the city.
He could vaguely see the red glow from the volcano's mouth.
"The confrontation between Zhou Huai, Lei Guangming, and Zhang Ping led to a volcano forming outside the city."
"If left unchecked, based on the Fire Vein's oscillation frequency, it would erupt in seven days."
Mind focused, Zhao Xing swiftly commanded the clouds.
"Go!"
A plump black cloud immediately flew above the volcanic crater.
It completely covered the volcano's mouth.
"Whoa~"
Torrential rain began to pour, drenching the volcanic mouth.
"Sizzle~"
A mass of steam was generated, and soon absorbed and gathered by the small portal above the cloud.
"The Heavenly Time Technique can equally govern Earth Advantage depending on its usage," Zhao Xing commanded the cloud to continuously enshroud the volcano.
Then he carefully checked if there were any abnormal phenological changes around the prefecture city.
"There are ninety-six unusual transformations."
At this point, Zhao Xing did not personally address it.
With so many Fourth and Fifth Rank Minister of Agriculture Officials available, he didn't need to do all the work himself.
"Mr. Zhang, there are ninety-six unusual phenological changes around the prefecture city; please instruct the expert Minister of Agriculture Officials to cast spells on them respectively."
"Alright," Zhang Ping immediately called on them.
The Heavenly Time Marquis Faction's Minister of Agriculture Officials were also present here.
The sky darkened slightly.
This was due to the restoration time returning the previously reversed Heavenly Time.
Thus, the sky became dim.
"Buzz~"
A vibration suddenly came from the prefecture city below.
"Hmm?"
Zhao Xing immediately looked down.
He saw the Tianhe Prefecture Government erupting with a burst of white light, and countless words floated out, sealing off the government office.
Different stereoscopic characters entangled in mid-air.
Each word, as black as ink, resembled thinking soldiers independently engaging each other in an attack.
"The void serves as paper, the ideograms as soldiers; is Lord He battling multiple adversaries alone?"
Zhao Xing quickly dispatched fifteen clones to descend directly.
The usually solemn and majestic government office was now shrouded in silence.
Snowflakes continued to fall around.
This wasn't real snow; it was the illusion created by the Ritual Repairer's spell.
Zhao Xing sensed a slight chill.
"Illusions influencing reality—this is truly 'speaking to create magic.'"
"However, a large part of this mighty power comes from the dynasty's own system."
Zhao Xing gently shook himself, dispelling the feeling of coldness.
A Seven-star Life Soul isn't something one can easily shake.
Zhao Xing's current third-grade life soul, aside from not having the characteristic of a primordial soul emerging from the body, resisted higher in fortitude and intensity than the third-grade early stage.
The trait of having a primordial soul emerge needs to be developed at the third rank.
Then, the primordial soul must integrate with the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, driven by the power of the Five Elements, involving changes in the physical body, allowing the primordial soul to leave the seven spirits of the physical body without damaging the body itself.
Currently, Zhao Xing possesses most of the abilities of the Third Grade Primordial Soul Realm but cannot yet have the primordial soul emerge. It's like a wandering wizard in a game, at a teenage level without learning the ultimate move, but it isn't significant, and some even specialize in playing this way.
As Zhao Xing approached, the black text patterns were all dispersed by the sound of the Soul Extinguishing Bell.
He stopped at the door, now able to see the scene inside.
"...Unfeeling as a ruler towards relatives, bringing about unavoidable punishment!"
"Therefore, no crime is more grave than regicide!"
"Betrayal and unfaithful as a minister, plotting rebellion."
"Sibling rivalry, defiance between lord and vassal—what sense does this make?"
A middle-aged man in a white robe, holding a scroll, stood at the center of the square. His body glowed with golden light, and streams of black text continuously became torrents, flooding towards the surrounding Ritual Repairers.
