Chapter 105 So Showy
Even though the 100,000-strong army of the Ancient Li Kingdom retreated into the Taiyi Land, the Golden Crow Kingdom would not give up and would not allow the Ancient Li Kingdom to monopolize the territory.

With Liu Chengfeng's order, the 100,000-strong elite army, which had already been assembled, prepared to march on the land of Taiyi.

All the powerful members of the four major clans displayed unprecedented bravery, volunteering to fight.

Liu Chengfeng's generosity is evident to all, and he is highly rewarded for his merits. All four major clans are willing to fight for the Golden Crow Ancient Kingdom.

Feng Shaohuang and He Qingying volunteered to join the elite army in battle.

To fight against the Mountain Ancestor, the Dawn Sword God personally led a large army, and Liu Chengfeng was willing to entrust him with command, showing absolute trust.

Because he had promised the Dawn Sword God, Liu Chengfeng created a mental cultivation method for him before the battle, and also brought along the cultivation technique.

The Dawn Sword God's family heirloom cultivation method, the Mountain and River State cultivation method, a mid-grade divine scroll.

The family's inherited Mountain and River Sword Technique was a low-grade divine scroll, which he later fused and created into the "Dawn Sword Technique," a high-grade divine scroll.

Liu Chengfeng threw the two divine skills into his mind, and through the evolution and fusion of celestial bodies, he created the ultimate techniques. He even smashed two fragments from the black stone to make innate bones.

Ultimately, both divine skills were merged into the Divine Scroll Innate.

"You, how did you do that?"

The Dawn Sword God was stunned, speechless. He had spent thousands, even tens of thousands of years fusing the Mountain and River Sword Technique from a low-grade divine scroll to a high-grade divine scroll.

The "Heart Method" for governing mountains, rivers, and the nation has an even higher threshold; despite thousands of years of effort, it has yet to be successfully implemented.

In a short period of time, Liu Chengfeng directly fused and created the Innate Realm.

With such talent, she is as beautiful as a celestial being. It would be an injustice if she didn't become a god in the future.

"That's how Sunac is."

Liu Chengfeng stated the facts, and the Dawn Sword God was completely speechless. As the number one expert, he was already considered a genius for being able to fuse a low-grade divine scroll into a high-grade one.

Compared to Liu Chengfeng, who has spent thousands of years seeking enlightenment, Liu Chengfeng's efforts seem as foolish and stupid as a pig's.

"I am willing to serve Your Majesty with all my heart and soul."

The strongest warrior of the Golden Crow Kingdom is completely convinced and vows to serve him to the death. Such an amazing feat will surely amaze the ages. Even the Dawn Sword God is in awe.

"Your Majesty has conferred titles upon the gods. Could you please reserve a place for your servant among the divine attendants?"

The Dawn Sword God made a request.

"The Sword God is a genius."

Liu Chengfeng was surprised to learn that the Dawn Sword God, a genius of his generation, possessed his own divine status.

Having reached such a height, who wouldn't want to be deified and ascend to the position of the supreme god?

"Your Majesty's talent is so great that it is as high as heaven. As for the position of divine servant, I am already the one who has taken the lead."

Zhuo Jian, the Sword God of Dawn, didn't even dare to aspire to the position of a Divine General.

"Since the Sword God thinks so highly of me, I'll shamelessly agree that when I become a god, you'll have a place among my divine servants."

How could Liu Chengfeng refuse such a good deal? He readily agreed.

"After the Investiture of the Gods and Ascension to Heaven, one day I will defeat the Jade Emperor. Old man, you wait and see, I will make you proud."

Thinking of his master's entrustment, Liu Chengfeng felt a surge of pride and looked down upon all directions.

Both the ruler and his subject were overjoyed, and they looked at each other and laughed heartily, their spirits soaring to the heavens.

The army set off, the teleportation array was activated, and the troops marched to the altar in the land of Taiyi.

The great-aunt Dugu Fenghuang guards the Golden Crow Heavenly Capital and controls all the troops in the world.

The army was teleported to the altar in the Land of Taiyi with surprising ease; the High Mountain War Ancestor did not attack or seize the altar.

"The wilderness of Taiyi, here we come again."

Teleported to the altar, Liu Chengfeng was beaming with pride.

The last time he came to the altar, he was on the run for his life. Today, he has returned as the emperor of the Golden Crow Kingdom. It feels like only yesterday.

One hundred thousand elite troops guarded the altar, making the entire altar palace as solid as a fortress.

In order to gather intelligence on the enemy, scouts went out in all directions to investigate the enemy's situation.

They soon discovered that most of the army of the ancient Li royal court was stationed at the Wangta Palace, and Gao Shan Zhanzu and his group were not there.

In addition, the Taiyi Wilderness, Huangyang Terrace, and Wenyuan Terrace have all been reactivated and opened.

"The Great Ancestor of Gaoshan led his troops into the Lost Paradise."

The Dawn Sword God personally observed and peered deeper.

Why do both Huangyang Kingdom and Wenyuanliu have teleportation stations in the Taiyi Land?

Liu Chengfeng was curious.

"Emperor Guli was a man of great talent and strategy. He once suppressed the Golden Crow Kingdom. When the two sides were deadlocked, the Yellow Sheep Kingdom and the Wenyuanliu both built teleportation stations in the Taiyi Wilderness."

The era of Emperor Gu Li was the era after Crown Prince Li left. Dugu Fenghuang's brothers, sisters, and husband all died in battle during this era.

The ancient Li royal court and the Jinwu ancient kingdom once waged a long war for control of the Taiyi Plain.

With the tacit consent of both sides, Huangyang Kingdom and Wenyuanliu established teleportation points here. Huangyang Kingdom, in particular, even built a palace, though it was not as large as those of the two countries.

"First, take away paradise."

Liu Chengfeng made up his mind that no matter what, he could not let Gao Shanzhanzu obtain Paradise Lost.

The Dawn Sword God agreed and set off for Paradise Lost.

The Sixth Patriarch and his guest ministers led an army of 100,000 to guard the Divine Platform Palace, while the Dawn Sword God led Liu Chengfeng, Feng Shaohuang, He Qingying and other powerful figures to search for the Lost Paradise.

"Are you always this flashy wherever you go?"

On the way, Liu Chengfeng glanced at Feng Shaohuang out of curiosity, without any ill intent.

Feng Shaohuang still wore his golden robes trailing on the ground, walking slowly with his hands behind his back, as if strolling in a leisurely garden. Beside him were two golden-clad boys, one holding a sword and the other a saber.

No matter where he is, Feng Shaohuang always maintains this demeanor.

"The appearance of a young emperor is not necessarily a bad thing."

Even the Dawn Sword God laughed.

"got used to."

Feng Shaohuang chuckled awkwardly, his entourage even larger than that of the strongest person and the emperor of the ancient kingdom.

Everyone burst into laughter, making Feng Shaohuang even more embarrassed, but he was used to this kind of pomp and circumstance and couldn't change it.

With the Dawn Sword God, the strongest expert, leading the team, their divine might soared to the heavens, and no strange beasts or ferocious birds dared to approach them as the flying boat continued its journey.

Soon, they found the mirage they had seen that day, and were all shocked by the sight before them.

Before me stretched an endless expanse of ancient city ruins, countless buildings and temples collapsed, the ground littered with broken walls and shattered tiles. Amidst the ruins, many ancient temples and buildings remained standing, their surfaces forming hand seals, sealed by some unseen force.

The ancient city ruins before us are more than ten times larger than the Golden Crow Heavenly Capital, and the entire ruins are shrouded in mist.

Even the Dawn Sword God could not see the end; it seemed to traverse the Great Wilderness and penetrate its depths.

“I didn’t notice it when I came last time.”

Looking at the ruins of the ancient city before him, Liu Chengfeng was astonished, wondering how it had come to be.

Was this once a divine city?

Feng Shaohuang was shocked. He could only imagine how vast, prosperous, and magnificent the ancient ruins city must have been before.

Everyone couldn't help but look at the Dawn Sword God, who was the most powerful and knowledgeable.

"I don't know either. It is said that the Zen God of Mount Tai once came to the Lost Paradise, and no one has come since."

"The wilderness of Taiyi is unfathomably deep. Even with my strength, I can barely glimpse a tenth or a second of it, let alone dare to enter the source of Taiyi. In the past, my ancestors fought there, but their weapons were broken and they sank to the sands."

The Dawn Sword God's expression was solemn.

Everyone was shocked. In the past, the Golden Crow God had fought against the Source of Taiyi more than once, suffering heavy losses. Many divine generals and servants died in battle, all of whom were ancestors of the four races.

In the final battle, even the priests were killed, and the losses were severe, causing the Golden Crow God to leave in despair.

"It is said that the Zen God of Mount Tai meditated for three thousand years in an attempt to purify the land of Taiyi, but failed. Is this true?"

He Qingying asked curiously.

"It's true. Taiyi is a dangerous place, once known as the burial ground of gods."

"If it weren't for the battle between the Zen God of Mount Tai and the Golden Crow God, the land of Taiyi would not be so peaceful."

The Dawn Sword God also sincerely admired the great deeds of the two main gods.

Liu Chengfeng knew that the two main gods had not only fought in the Taiyi Wilderness, but to this day, their divine thoughts were still being suppressed in the deepest part of the Taiyi Source.

This made Liu Chengfeng even more curious: what exactly was the sealed human skin, and what was the paper figure deeper inside?
"There is a treasure—"

Among the powerful disciples traveling with them, some opened the hand seals, overturned the ancient hall, and found valuable items inside.

Everyone perked up and started searching.

The ancient palaces and buildings that have not yet collapsed all have hand seals, but these hand seals are not powerful and can be opened quickly.

Within the ancient palaces and buildings are treasures and rare objects, but they are not left behind by the ancients. Instead, they are spiritual stones, primordial mud, and celestial ash that grow from the earth.

Aside from spirit stones, the primordial mud and sky ash are relatively low-grade, but even so, they are still exciting because there is money everywhere.

These things are produced in the five spiritual veins of the Taiyi Land and the Golden Crow Ancient Kingdom, but they can only be obtained by mining deep into the veins.

Now they grow directly on the ground, and although there aren't many of them, you can just bend down and pick up money—who wouldn't want that?

"This was probably born from the spiritual energy of the source of the Great Relic."

The Dawn Sword God, seeing money sprouting on the ground, also speculated on its origin.

Liu Chengfeng was interested in the seals formed by the ancient palace buildings. He peered through the Sky Eye and discovered that the seals were not man-made seals, but rather formed by the growth of the earth.

"It is very possible that this place was once a divine land, a land of abundant life and treasures, a place of profound wisdom and order."

Liu Chengfeng was deeply moved and his thoughts were filled with inspiration.

This is divine land, where heavenly treasures can be created and the great Dao can be established. So, what kind of being once built a divine city here?

Judging from the scale of the ruins before us, one can only imagine how enormous this divine city must have been in its heyday.

The Golden Crow God is the chief god. As powerful as he is, he built the Golden Crow Kingdom and the Golden Crow Heavenly Capital. This is already enormous enough, like a miracle.

Compared to the once magnificent city before us, it still pales in comparison.

Doesn't this mean that the person who built the divine city here was far more powerful than the Golden Crow God?

Liu Chengfeng and the Dawn Sword God exchanged a glance, both of them thinking of the same question, and couldn't help but gasp.

"This isn't the real Paradise Lost yet, let's keep searching."

Although there was money to be picked up on the ground, after observation, both Liu Chengfeng and the Dawn Sword God were certain that the ruins before them were not the real Paradise Lost.

Liu Chengfeng and his companions did not linger here, but continued to venture deeper into the ancient city ruins in search of the true lost paradise.

Deep within the ruins, they discovered traces of the ancient Li royal court, as well as the Huangyang Kingdom and Wenyuanliu.

Deeper into the ruins, there are even more ancient buildings and temples that haven't collapsed, like an empty giant city, with buildings and temples standing tall but no one inhabiting it.

Gao Shan Zhanzu, leading the powerful warriors of the Ancient Li Royal Court, occupied vast swathes of ancient cities. They demolished ancient palaces and buildings, excavated the earth, and searched for the lost paradise.

Although they haven't found Paradise Lost yet, they've gained quite a lot: spirit stones, celestial ash, precious ore, primordial mud... they've got it all.

"Paradise Lost must be here. Find it for me."

Gao Shan Zhan Zu was determined to find the Lost Paradise, just as the Zen God of Mount Tai rose to prominence through the Lost Paradise.

If he could find Paradise Lost, and possess just one extraordinary item, it might be enough to help him achieve godhood.

Upon seeing the Dawn Sword God and his group, the Mountain Battle Ancestor's aura surged forth like a raging torrent, threatening to overturn the earth and churn the rivers and seas.

Liu Chengfeng and his companions were no match for Gaoshan Zhanzu. The Dawn Sword God stepped forward, his sword resounding through the heavens, its light shooting straight towards the ruins of Niudou, its sword radiance surging forth.

"Does the War Ancestor intend to wage war?"

The Dawn Sword God possessed a divine and awe-inspiring appearance.

In terms of temperament, Gaoshan Zhanzu is not as good as Fuxiao Jianshen.

"A mere junior like me, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

The high mountain warrior was filled with fighting spirit, and his divine power was rampant.

"If you wish to settle the feud between our two families, I will gladly oblige."

The Dawn Sword God also unleashed the power of his divine essence, his sword soaring into the sky, showing no weakness whatsoever.

The two sides remained in a stalemate, but no fighting broke out. Gao Shan Zhan Zu had come for the Lost Paradise, not to seek revenge against the Golden Crow Ancient Kingdom.

Besides the ancient Li royal court occupying a large area of ​​the ancient city, the Huangyang Kingdom and Wenyuanliu each occupy a corner.

Led by Eagle Pride, the Yellow Sheep Kingdom pushes down ancient palaces and towering buildings in search of any clues leading to the Lost Paradise.

Wen Yuanliu, too, under Xie Hongyu's guidance, searches for the true lost paradise.

Although they all reaped treasures such as spirit stones and primordial mud, this was not the lost paradise that everyone imagined.

Paradise Lost must be hidden somewhere.

He Qingying, Feng Shaohuang, and the others led a search for clues, while Liu Chengfeng went to see Xie Hongyu.
