Next, the vice-governor of the stars in the southern part of the empire naturally invited Jiang Heng, the mysterious strongman, to have a detailed discussion, and it was nothing more than inviting him to sit in the back for a while and make friends with him.

Although Zhao Kai was born as a martial artist and has no flair, but after so many years, the ups and downs in the officialdom have somewhat developed the problems of some officialdom people. Of course, he will not cling to others at will, and it is estimated that only Jiang Heng or a strong person at the Dao level is worthy of his clinging.

After all, for vice-governors like Zhao Kai, who are already in the half-step Dao realm, once they have power, there is only the pursuit of strength. After all, he is not young. Counting the past hundred years, he is almost three thousand years old.

This age is considered to be in the middle of the year for the half-step Dao realm, and the blood has begun to gradually decline.

Chatted with this mysterious strong man for a while, and learned that this mysterious strong man needs to rest for the time being, and it is not easy to disturb him. After ordering someone to take care of him, he went alone to a window in the battleship where he could see the starry sky outside.

"It is said that the road to the Dao Realm has been cut off, but this senior has strength comparable to the Dao Realm level at such a young age. Could it be that there is another way for the Alliance to bypass the conventional method and step into the Dao Realm?"

Zhao Kai kept pacing back and forth, he was very anxious now. If you want to make friends with this senior, you can find some ways to pursue a higher level.

He has no other extravagant hopes for the rest of his life, no lack of money, no lack of power, and no shortage of women and heirs. At the age of nearly three thousand years, he has changed hundreds of women, and his descendants can already form a group of ten thousand people.

Only strength.....

"Unknowingly, I have been in this realm for nearly a thousand years, maybe this is my only chance!"

In the end, Zhao Kai made up his mind to make friends with this senior, no matter what, he must break this feeling of being unable to make progress for a thousand years.

Most warriors have this kind of emotion. Ordinary people have a midlife crisis when they reach middle age, but it's not just a midlife crisis for warriors when they reach middle age. The feeling of not being able to advance an inch in strength but watching backwards step by step is extremely frightening.

Especially for high-level warriors, this kind of performance is more obvious and more anxious.

Jiang Heng was really tired of letting Zhao Kai leave at this time, and he didn't hold back at all in this fight, almost firing on all cylinders.

The vitality in the body was exhausted, and the physical body was even more severely injured when it fought against the iron lump.

"There is still a little distance. Although my physical body can already withstand the beating at the Dao level, the side effects of the time knife are still too great. The escaping knife energy alone will cause inevitable damage to the physical body."

Looking at some fine blood-colored cracks appearing in some places on the body surface, Jiang Heng sighed slightly.

The damage caused by the time knife knife qi is not so easy to heal.

"It's no wonder that the Time Knife is so famous. I was only injured by the aftermath of the knife's qi. It's a **** bad luck for that iron lump to be hit in the front."

The time knife can cut time and space, it is extremely sharp, it is not just as simple as cutting space. If it is said that the previous Dao Realm is just breaking or prying the power of space.

The time knife is to really cut the space and affect the real existence of this space.

That is to say, if one is slashed by the time knife, not to mention in reality, it is useless to hide in the space, and can only be stabbed twice.

The key is that the space it cuts is extremely difficult to heal. You must know that the damage to the space and the shattered space are only temporary, and will soon heal naturally.

And the injuries caused by the Time Knife are enough to last for a long time, which is why it cuts instead of breaking and prying.

"It's a bit weird. The two sides of the open wound seem to be separated into two different spaces. It's a bit interesting." Feeling the wound on the body surface, Jiang Heng raised his eyebrows.

This feeling is really strange, as if there is an invisible space between the gaps in the wound. Even if Jiang Heng tried his best to stimulate his own recovery ability, it would not help.

After several attempts, Jiang Heng finally gave up.

Anyway, this injury doesn't affect the battle, so Jiang Heng doesn't care.

"Now I have already transformed into the Fanwu Saint Physique Feitian Lei Pengbian and Qingtian Bian, but the heavy water turtle has also begun to strengthen a lot under the stimulation of the knife wound of time."

Jiang Heng is still looking forward to the advancement of the Fanwu Holy Physique, this thing is simply an accident,

"However, if I really want to step into the Dao Realm level and even surpass the ordinary Dao Realm level, my goal must be above the third level of the Hegemony."

Jiang Heng remembered the third layer of the hegemony that had been unable to gather the materials.

The third level of the domineering body is the big move that Jiang Heng has been thinking about all the time. Once he steps into the third level of the domineering body, he can be regarded as a master of Taoism in the true sense.

Moreover, he is also an unprecedented Daoist with a pure physical body.

After thinking about it, Jiang Heng put on his clothes again, and called Zhao Kai, the vice-governor of the empire, in.

"I don't know what orders senior have?" Zhao Kai had already adjusted his response, and his attitude was even more humble.

"According to the empire's military merit system, I should have made a lot of contributions this time, right?"

"Um...yes!" Zhao Kai replied honestly, a little confused as to why the other party asked such a question.

"Then can the materials on this list be exchanged for me with meritorious service?"

No nonsense, Jiang Heng simply took out the list he just wrote. They are all auxiliary materials needed by the third level of the hegemony.

The empire is different from the alliance, and their collection and utilization of resources are far from what the alliance can match.

I believe that most of the materials will be delivered to him within a month.

Hearing this, Zhao Kai picked up the list and looked it up and down, then nodded and shook his head with a wry smile: "Most of the items on the list are fine. There is a warehouse here in Southern Stars, which is used to collect items every hundred years. Taxes from various places and tribute paid by affiliated civilizations."

Imperial Law ~lightnovelpub.net~ But all forces under the empire need to pay a certain amount of resources every hundred years, and the empire will also send troops to sit on all sides. In other words, it is obvious that the empire protects you, but you have to pay for it.

"How long will it take?" Jiang Heng asked with a frown.

"It won't take long. If senior is in a hurry, it will be delivered in seven days. It's just that senior has about ten kinds of materials that are very rare and reported to the imperial capital. I believe that the treasury of the imperial capital should have what senior needs."

"Oh!" Jiang Heng noticed the meaning of the other party's words. It seems that there are many rare items in the imperial capital. The things on this list are nothing to the collection ability of the empire.

"Very good, but I still want to ask if there are any traces or signs of giant star beasts appearing recently."

"Starry Sky Giant Beast?!" Hearing this, Zhao Kai was taken aback, "Senior, don't be joking, this Starry Sky Giant Beast and other ominous creatures have been hiding for a while, why are you looking for their tracks?"

Zhao Kai didn't understand what this senior was going to do? Even Daoists dare not catch the starry sky behemoth's attention. Is this senior too far away?
