Chapter 889: Chapter 45: Ambush and Counterambush, Zhao Xing’s Backup Plan! (Da Zhang, Please Vote for Monthly Ticket)
"The assassin arrived at Bright Moon Prefecture ten days ago?" Zhao Xing was taken aback; this information was indeed shocking.
He also realized the seriousness of the situation and was very receptive: "King Heavenly Destiny, I will return to the Prefecture City immediately."
After hanging up the communication, Zhao Xing closed his eyes, entering the Memory Palace.
"It’s the end of April right now, Prince Liang’s Heavenly Fate Golden List opened earlier than expected."
"Logically, it should have opened in the latter half of the year; now it’s months ahead of schedule... He is much more impatient than in the previous life."
"The Heavenly Fate Golden List’s function is similar to the Creation Plate, but different. The Creation Plate accommodates all levels, while the Heavenly Fate Golden List focuses mainly on the strong."
"Ranking so quickly and being so forward on the list should be due to several reasons; the strength of the Heavenly Fate Golden List isn’t based solely on realm and combat ability."
"Firstly, my fortune is strong. After trading with the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Bird, my fortune was enhanced, already at the Yan Six fortune, which is ’strong’ in terms of fortune."
"Secondly, my strength is strong. Though I am only in the Fourth-rank Realm, I’ve cultivated the first level of the Derivation God Decision, far surpassing the average level of the first level."
"I’ve mastered top-level Cloud Skill [Yunmen] [Near and far], Thunder Skill [Heavenly Thunder Finger], Geographical Advantage Skill Hanhai Palace, Xuanshui Palace, and Earth Spirit Divine Storage Method."
"And also the Kunpeng Transformation and Dream Walking Technique."
"Through Ten Thousand Skill Avatar and the amplification of Derivation God Decision, in terms of spells alone, I am enough to battle a Third-rank Middle Stage. In terms of escaping and survival, I’m even stronger."
"I also possess the Seasonal Order set, Yuan Yin Holy Scripture, Heavenly Mechanism Robe, Purple Moon Soul Lamp, and many other treasures, which is strength in terms of ability."
Thinking of this, Zhao Xing couldn’t help but frown.
Even so, he hadn’t shown much; at least he hadn’t been through a full-force life-and-death battle yet.
His superficial Fourth-rank appearance shouldn’t rank him so high on the Heavenly Fate Golden List.
Zhao Xing browsed carefully in the Memory Palace, replaying past actions scene by scene in his mind.
"Stop!"
The image froze. Zhao Xing saw himself chatting with Hu Yang at Xuantian Academy, subsequently writing the theory of calculation.
"It seems it’s here."
Zhao Xing took a deep breath.
"Third point: strong influence!"
"Three Yin and Three Yang Six Qi Great Cycle Theory · Calculation Section!"
"It can accurately calculate the cycle of strength and weakness of many Military Realm Cave Heaven channels; in this aspect, it’s even more useful than ’Records of Wu · Circulation Theory’."
"Looks like I’ve underestimated its effectiveness." Zhao Xing mused to himself.
"From a military perspective, writing the Military Realm Cave Heaven Calculation Theory is enough to decide the survival of a high-grade army in either Prince Liang’s or the court’s camp."
In warfare, it’s essential to occupy advantageous terrain and hold key channels.
The specific opening dates of Military Realm channels are crucial to both sides!
Going a day earlier or a day later yields completely different results, and going too early is a waste of forces.
"Meeting Hu Yang at the end of March, spending considerable time figuring out the opening timing of the ninth entrance located at Danxia Cave Sky, and then the assassination action occurred soon afterward." Zhao Xing mused to himself.
The assassination of Tianxia King didn’t even capture the attention of Prince Liang’s camp.
However, the calculation of the channel opening was soon followed by assassination, clearly not a coincidence.
Zhao Xing continued browsing, then saw himself in the Star Palace.
Where he was writing down the insights of cultivating the first level of Derivation God Decision.
"And there’s this point, the correct direction for cultivating Derivation God Decision!"
"My cultivation insights will also have a significant impact on other cultivators of Derivation God Decision."
To cultivate Derivation God Decision, one needs either high-grade capability or extraordinary talent.
Zhao Xing quickly pinpointed these two reasons.
Influence may also come from "Self Theory of Heaven and Earth", possibly inviting Tianyang True Monarch, and even Liu Tian Ning’s disciple status as an addition.
Yet the most important are the article calculating the Military Realm channel and the insights of cultivating Derivation God Decision!
Opening his eyes, Zhao Xing’s expression remained calm.
Even though the assassin had arrived at Bright Moon Prefecture, and their strength was surely substantial, Zhao Xing wasn’t in a hurry.
Being anxious wouldn’t help.
"Gao Dongpo, you continue leading the implementation of governance plans."
"Currently, Bright Moon Prefecture only has some special commanderies left; for the rest, you have the full capability to conduct adjustments."
"I still have other matters to attend to; you will handle the subsequent affairs."
"Thank you for your guidance, sir." Gao Dongpo thanked him deeply, bowing, "Your subordinate will never forget."
Zhao Xing departed, which was handing over control for him to take charge, a note to add to his resume.
He surely wanted to thank Zhao Xing.
Gao Dongpo was an official in Bright Moon Prefecture, matching Zhao Xing in grade, even surpassing him in loose rank, but at present, he was completely won over by Zhao Xing.
Some superiors are strong in ability, yet accolades mainly belong to them.
Skilled, considerate to subordinates, sharing credits; where could one find a superior like Zhao Xing?
Little did he know Mr. Zhao was fleeing!
"Work well, the Prefecture Lord won’t forget you."
Zhao Xing smiled, patting Gao Dongpo’s shoulder, then swiftly flew away.
He took the avatars here along.
He couldn’t leave avatars with Gao Dongpo, to avoid innocent involvement.
"Mr. Zhao." Gao Dongpo watched the direction from which Zhao Xing disappeared, a faint mist appearing, feeling increasingly grateful. "It’s a blessing to work with him for a lifetime."
After some contemplation, Gao Dongpo energized himself and called out, "Get moving, don’t disappoint the Prefecture Lord and Mr. Zhao’s expectations!"
