The Heaven-shattering: I and Wu Shi compete for the throne

Chapter 394 Return
However, the ingredient he lacked when refining the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill was never the Primordial Divine Stone, but rather the Ascension Source Soil.

Thinking of the Feather Transformation Source Soil, Li Daoming couldn't help but smile.

In his destruction of the Undying Mountain and the Divine Ruins, he killed thirteen Supreme Beings and obtained nine Undying Divine Medicine Fruits and some Ascension Source Soil from them.

Although the Feather Transformation Source Soil he had wasn't enough for one batch of Nine-Turn Immortal Pills, the remaining Feather Transformation Source Soil he had was enough to refine two more batches of Nine-Turn Immortal Pills.

As for the nine immortality fruits, they surprised him even more.

Although six of these nine immortality fruits have lost some of their divine essence and can no longer grant a second life, they can still be refined to extract divine essence, cleansing the body and helping people undergo a complete transformation.

The remaining three intact pills can grant a second life or be used to refine the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.

Some may wonder why there are only nine Immortal Medicine fruits in total, given that there are three Immortal Medicine plants in the Divine Ruins and the Undying Mountain, and the Immortal Medicine only bears fruit once every five thousand years.
Because the Immortal Elixir Fruit is very difficult to preserve for a long time! If the Immortal Elixir Fruit is not damaged, it can be preserved for hundreds or thousands of years without losing its medicinal power.

However, if it is preserved for more than a few thousand years, the medicinal effect will begin to dissipate. Unless extraordinary methods are used, it can only be slowed down, not avoided.

The Immortal Elixir Fruit is no longer useful to the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones, so they naturally wouldn't go to great lengths or use any heaven-defying methods to preserve it.

Therefore, apart from the most recently matured batch, which did not lose any of the essence of the miraculous medicine, the two batches that matured earlier both lost some of their essence.

After visiting the Undying Mountain and the Divine Ruins, Li Daoming used his great magic to shrink the Undying Mountain and the Divine Ruins into his palm. Then, stepping on the Starlight Avenue, he returned to the Boundless Starfield.

……

"Greetings, Heavenly Emperor!" Tens of thousands of saints reconvened on Wandao Star, and upon seeing Li Daoming's return, they paid homage with fervent eyes.

Thirteen supreme beings and two forbidden zones of life were easily wiped out by the Heavenly Emperor. This is shocking and terrifying.

This is a monumental feat in history!
No emperor or king can compare to him!
The name of the Heavenly Emperor is truly well-deserved!
"No need for formalities!" Li Daoming said calmly, gesturing for everyone to stand up.

At this moment, looking at the tens of thousands of saints before him, Li Daoming felt a sense of emotion.

There was a mixture of pride and regret.

What I'm so proud of is that throughout history, who has ever been able to gather so many powerful individuals who are at least saints? Even the Emperor who founded the Heavenly Court couldn't do it.

It was because he often preached on Wandao Star that the powerful beings above the level of saints in the universe surged forth, and that in a short period of time, tens of thousands of saints were gathered, formed an array, activated more than a dozen supreme imperial weapons, and combined into more than a dozen supreme battle forces.

No other era, no other person could have created such a grand spectacle, which made Li Daoming proud.

But it's also a bit of a pity, because Wushi attained enlightenment too early, and those supreme beings in the forbidden zones of life were too cowardly.

If Wushi had attained enlightenment five hundred years later, and if those supreme beings in forbidden zones hadn't been so cowardly...

Five hundred years from now, the number of saints he can gather will probably exceed one hundred thousand.

Moreover, the Boundless Holy Court will have at least ten supreme warriors.

For example, Dongfang Taiyi, Li Wuhen, Li Wuyou, Xin Hua, Xia Qinghuang, Jiang Qianxi, Kong Lin, Si Qi, Yang Cheng, and even more.

If he possessed the combat power of ten Supreme Beings, plus one hundred thousand Saints, two or three Great Saints, dozens or hundreds of Quasi-Emperors, and a dozen or so Extreme Dao Emperor Weapons, he would dare to besiege the six forbidden zones of life in the Big Dipper and purge all the Supreme Beings who had instigated the Dark Turmoil.

Unfortunately, Wushi attained enlightenment 500 years too early. Those supreme beings from the forbidden zones were too cowardly. They actually tried to run away as soon as they realized that Wushi could attain enlightenment, so he had to take action in advance, leaving only two supreme beings from the forbidden zones of life behind.

After offering a few words of encouragement to the tens of thousands of sages present, Li Daoming had no more intention to say anything more. He turned and left to return to the Boundless Starfield to settle the Undying Mountain and the Divine Ruins.

"Daoming!"

"Father!"

After settling the Undying Mountain and the Divine Ruins, Xia Qinghuang and her three companions, along with Li Wuhen and Li Wuyou, arrived together.

"Why are you here?" Li Daoming asked.

They must be quite busy now. Firstly, he killed thirteen supreme beings and wiped out two forbidden zones of life, greatly enhancing his prestige, so he'll definitely be holding a grand event.

Secondly, he had tens of thousands of saints set up an array beforehand, but most of them did not belong to the Wuji Holy Court, so his avatar promised some benefits before the war began.

Although they only formed a great formation and wielded supreme imperial weapons to intimidate, without actually participating in the battle, he would not take back his promise since he had made it.

"Father, you swept through the two forbidden zones of life, your might shook the heavens and the earth. Now, all the saints outside want to join the Holy Court!" Li Wuhen said excitedly.

"And then?" Li Daoming glanced at Li Wuhen indifferently.

"Many of them are qualified to join the Holy Court, and some who are not qualified are intentionally being unsealed so that they can join the Holy Court."

Those long-forgotten prodigies are no ordinary people! They all aspire to the path of emperor, but the struggle for the throne in this life ended long ago.

Therefore, they chose to isolate themselves, hoping to wait for the next golden age to begin before vying for the throne.

If they were to be unsealed and join the Boundless Holy Court, the Boundless Holy Court would surely become even more glorious and powerful.

He even thought that if some sages with good aptitude and excellent character were selected from the tens of thousands of sages outside to join the Holy Court, and, as before, formed an array to wield the supreme imperial weapons belonging to the Boundless Holy Court, then the Boundless Holy Court could have a few more supreme combatants.

Knowing Li Wuhen's thoughts, Li Daoming gently shook his head.

"You're right. Recruiting more saints into the Holy Court can help us combine the Devouring Demon Jar, the Chaotic Ancient Battle Axe, and the Chaos Cauldron to form a supreme fighting force, but is it really necessary?"

"The reason I used to train cultivators of the Boundless Holy Court was to cultivate some supreme combat power, and like today, they can join forces to form an array, wield the borrowed supreme imperial weapons, and exert supreme-level combat power."

"This can not only deter the forbidden zones of life and prevent them from making any rash moves, but also, when necessary, intercept the supreme beings of the forbidden zones of life, giving me the opportunity to defeat them one by one."

"But after today's battle, those supreme beings will definitely hide away and never appear again before I die."

"Even if I were to emerge from the world, things would be different now. So many supreme beings have already fallen. Even without a large number of saints forming an array and wielding supreme imperial weapons to intercept some of the supreme beings for me, the remaining supreme beings would not be able to cause any trouble in my hands."

"I am already invincible under heaven. Such supreme combat power can be destroyed with a flick of my finger. The Wuji Holy Court will not gain any more glory if it has more supreme combat power, nor will it be dimmed if it has less."
