Chapter 115 The overwhelming wealth

The army returned to the capital in triumph, and the entire ancient kingdom of Jinwu celebrated with great joy and festivities.

Not long ago, Emperor Tangshan was defeated, and the Guli royal court was at the gates of the city, facing imminent danger, and the people were filled with fear.

The new emperor ascended the throne and, in a short time, swept away foreign enemies, destroyed a country, and turned crisis into victory. Such a feat shocked the entire ancient kingdom.

"Your Majesty is mighty."

Across the vast ancient land, countless people rejoiced, shouting praises of the new emperor's achievements.

All the officials and generals of the four clans returned and bowed before Liu Chengfeng.

When Liu Chengfeng returned with his troops, the royal court of Guli also sent a letter of state to congratulate him on his great achievement. The letter was written by Shen Yunzhi himself.

Upon his return, he ascended the Golden Palace and summoned his ministers from all four clans.

The Dawn Sword God, Dugu Phoenix, He Qingying... all the powerful figures from the four clans were present.

"There are two things to do today: first, the treasures of Paradise Lost; and second, the letter from the ancient Li royal court."

Liu Chengfeng looked at everyone and spoke frankly.

"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

The Dawn Sword God ruled the world for ten thousand years, wielding both wisdom and strategy.

“I made an agreement with Emperor Gao Gong and Empress Gao Gong, who will also be the new emperor of the ancient Li Kingdom. The long-standing feud between our two countries will surely be resolved.”

"Your Majesty, our two nations are sworn enemies, and reconciliation is not easy."

Dugu Fenghuang was the first to stand up and speak.

For the four tribes, the conflict with the ancient Li royal court was a blood feud, a struggle for the Taiyi Plain, a blood feud that had lasted for generations.

It's not easy to explain how to solve this.

Dugu Fenghuang's words roughly mean the four clans.

"What can we do if we don't reconcile? How do you all compare yourselves to the Golden Crow God? How do you compare yourselves to our late master, Prince Li?"

Liu Chengfeng looked around at the assembled officials.

The ministers remained silent; none of them dared to compare themselves to him, not even the Dawn Sword God.

"When the Golden Crow God was alive, and when our late master was still alive, they were unable to destroy the Ancient Li Kingdom. Do you all have the confidence to destroy the Ancient Li Kingdom after exhausting your entire lives?"

"Emperor Tangshan, relying on his martial prowess, desires to destroy the royal court. Are any of you as arrogant as him?"

Liu Chengfeng then looked around at the assembled officials.

The ministers remained silent. Indeed, Emperor Tangshan was a man of great talent and ambition, a fourth-level demigod, yet in the end he too met his demise.

"If there is no reconciliation, then we will be enemies for generations, and the bloodshed will never end. I do not doubt your determination, and I believe in the loyalty of the four clans, who are willing to die for the ancient kingdom."

"But, do we cultivate the Tao and seek divine guidance merely to slay with the ancient Li royal court for generations? Are we merely to die in battle on the Taiyi Plain for generations to come?"

"Generational feuds can only limit our vision to the ancient Li royal court, and the battlefield is limited to the Taiyi Wilderness, nothing more."

Liu Chengfeng looked at the assembled officials.

"Your Majesty has great foresight and a vision for the nation's long-term survival. I agree to the peace talks. Ten thousand years of blood feud and endless wars have exhausted the nation's strength, and many elites from the four tribes have died in battle."

"It is time for the ancient nation to rest and recuperate, so that it can flourish again."

The Dawn Sword God was the first to stand up and support Liu Chengfeng. He had ruled the country for thousands of years and was most unwilling to engage in generations of war, which had left the national treasury empty.

"I am willing."

While the ministers remained silent, He Qingying was the first among the four clans to stand up and support Liu Chengfeng.

The remaining three clans all looked at Dugu Fenghuang.

Dugu Fenghuang is torn by a blood feud spanning generations. Too many of her phoenix clan members have died in battle, leaving her with a deep sense of injustice.

“I know that the four clans have paid a heavy price for this, with all of them losing loved ones in battle, and it is hard to forgive them. You all should also be comforted by this peace.”

"The lost paradise is full of treasures, which I have divided into ten portions. Each portion is as rich as a country, and each clan will receive one portion, while the prime minister will receive one portion."

Liu Chengfeng's generosity and magnanimity caused an uproar among the officials, who were both shocked and overjoyed.

The treasures of Paradise Lost are countless, a treasure trove of riches.

It was divided into ten portions, with each of the four tribes receiving one portion. Its value far exceeded the treasures currently possessed by each tribe.

The Lost Paradise was found and opened by Liu Chengfeng, who, as the ruler of a nation, had every right to dispose of it.

Even if it is not kept for itself, it can be put into the national treasury, and there is no need to reward the four clans.

“Grandmother, I know that the Phoenix Clan is full of loyal martyrs, so I specially bestowed an extra one upon them.”

"this--"

Dugu Fenghuang stood up abruptly; it was truly a shock to her.

"The Tiger Clan has no objection."

At this moment, the tiger clan stepped forward to pledge their loyalty.

"The apes too."

If we don't express our opinion soon, we'll be last.

At this moment, everyone looked at Dugu Fenghuang. Whether the Phoenix Clan agreed or not, the outcome was already decided.

If the Phoenix disagrees, it means it will clash with the other three races and cut off their source of income.

"Your Majesty is benevolent and wise throughout the land; how dare the Phoenix Clan disobey?"

Dugu Fenghuang agreed, and the Phoenix Clan's hearts were won over.

The four tribes settled down, the ancient kingdom of Jinwu and the royal court of Guli ceased hostilities, reconciled and made peace, taking the source of Taiyi as the boundary, and the two countries shared the Taiyi Plain.

Having obtained such immense wealth, the four clans were appeased, and the matter was now entirely up to Liu Chengfeng to decide.

Liu Chengfeng drafted a letter to Shen Yunzhi, informing her of the agreement.

"Abundant wealth, His Majesty has just thrown it all away, it's far too much."

After the court session ended, the Dawn Sword God couldn't help but shake his head with a smile. Half of the lost paradise's wealth, an astronomical figure, had been sold off just like that.

Other emperors would probably not have agreed.

"Prime Minister, you should not refuse. Cultivating the divine path requires many precious natural treasures."

Liu Chengfeng laughed loudly.

"Besides, I never thought of becoming an emperor for all eternity and ruling you for ten thousand generations. That would be too narrow-minded. If the wealth is gone, it's gone."

Liu Chengfeng didn't take it seriously.

"Your Majesty's lofty ambition is to be deified and ascend to the highest heavens. Your subject is willing to follow you."

The Dawn Sword God stood solemnly and prostrated himself.

For someone who aspires to become a supreme god and ascend to the heavens, the Golden Crow Kingdom is indeed too small.

"That's for the future. As for the Golden Crow Ancient Kingdom, I'll leave it to the Prime Minister and focus on my cultivation."

Liu Chengfeng laughed loudly.

He was a man of his word, handing over power to the Dawn Sword God and the four clans, completely disregarding whether his subjects wanted to seize power, and directly entering the ancestral land to cultivate.

At the source of the Great Relic, the World Tree once absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy, enabling Liu Chengfeng to reach the Great Perfection of the Second Stage of the Great Dao.

At this time, he secluded himself in the ancestral land, absorbing a massive amount of spiritual energy, refining the power of the Great Dao, condensing the source of the Dao, and nurturing his soul to make it stronger.

With the cultivation method running continuously and the practice never ceasing, the power of the Great Dao finally roared forth in a mighty torrent.

"Break it for me——"

Liu Chengfeng roared, urging the "Nine Chi of Gaoli" to unleash the might of the Great Dao.

At the same time, the other three divine treasures resonated in unison, their mental cultivation methods running continuously, their blood energy surging like waves, their divine blood churning, and their life force flowing endlessly. Supported by the blood energy and life force, the power of the Great Dao became even stronger, inexhaustible and limitless.

The might of the Great Dao impacts the source of the Dao wave after wave, striking its very essence.

Relentlessly pursue, repeatedly challenge, break through bottlenecks, and revitalize the source of the Dao.

The bottleneck is broken, the channel is opened, the source of the Dao flows gently, and the water of the Dao source slowly overflows.

The soul is nurtured within, becoming even brighter, and the power of the Great Dao is even greater, resounding with the harmonious voice of the Great Dao.

"The Great Dao, Third Stage!"

Liu Chengfeng was overjoyed; he had completed the third stage of the Great Dao.

The mental cultivation method operates continuously, absorbing a vast amount of spiritual energy to nourish the source of the Dao, making the source of the Dao fuller and the soul stronger.

If you continue cultivating, you will surely be able to expand your Dao Source and advance to the fourth rank.

Having broken through to the third level of the Great Dao, Liu Chengfeng took out three portions of true blood.

These three portions of true blood are the true blood of the Eight-Flame Elephant Emperor, the Nine-Headed Lion Emperor, and the Fat Relic Emperor Beast, respectively.

Liu Chengfeng threw them one by one into the sea of ​​blood.

The Divine Blood roared, devouring the true blood thrown in one by one. When it had finished devouring the true blood of the Fat Remnant Emperor Beast, the Divine Blood let out a huge roar.

A divine light suddenly appeared, and the divine blood grew to the size of a river, with the aura of a divine beast surging forth.

The mythical beast Kui Niu seemed to come alive, standing in the sea of ​​blood, pounding its chest and roaring, its power awe-inspiring the heavens and earth, accompanied by raging winds, torrential rain, lightning, and thunder.

The divine blood grew stronger, the sea of ​​blood churned, and the divine power spread out, expanding across the entire sea of ​​blood.

"open--"

Liu Chengfeng unleashed the "Thunder Kui Heart Technique," urging his divine blood to expand his blood sea with the most powerful blood energy.

The sea of ​​blood roared and surged, growing larger inch by inch under its forceful expansion.

Thirty-one, thirty-two, thirty-three...

Liu Chengfeng unleashed his life force, causing his divine blood to surge wildly and expand his sea of ​​blood until the final value stopped at "thirty-nine".

Thirty-nine miles of blood sea.

"Just a little bit more, just one mile away, and it would have been forty miles of sea of ​​blood!"

Liu Chengfeng was truly unwilling to accept this. He was just a little short of expanding the Blood Sea to forty miles, which would have allowed him to advance to the rank of a fourth-level alchemist.

Once he cultivates to the Innate Realm, becoming a Fourth-Level Innate Alchemist, he will undoubtedly be the most outstanding and pinnacle alchemist in the Qingmeng Realm.

Thirty-nine is the limit. Neither true blood nor mental cultivation can expand the sea of ​​blood even a little bit further.

The immediate options are either to cultivate the Divine Scroll Technique, continue to feed the Divine Blood with even more powerful True Blood, or require the True Blood of an Imperial Beast that has been around for two or three hundred thousand years.

Both of these are hard to come by, but there is still a chance to obtain the true blood of an imperial beast that is two or three hundred thousand years old.

The Divine Scroll of the Blood Sea Divine Treasury is nowhere to be found in the entire Qingmeng Realm.

The Four Great Divine Treasures are as vast as the ocean. After the Investiture of the Gods, the main gods who have the ability to create mental cultivation methods either focus more on cultivating their own divine path.

They have either already left the Qingmeng Realm and ascended to the heavens.

No supreme god would expend so much effort to create the mental cultivation methods and techniques of the Blood Sea Divine Treasury.

"We can only wait for an opportunity to kill another 300,000-year-old imperial beast. That should be enough to break through the 40-mile-long sea of ​​blood."

Liu Chengfeng had no choice but to put it aside for the time being.

Take out the ash from the world of paper figures and place it into the furnace of life.

Once the ash entered the furnace, it became even more powerful, instantly engulfing the setting sun's ash.

Sunset Ash is a top-grade form of Dharma Ash, already quite precious.

But when it swallowed it, it even looked disgusted, as if it wasn't even enough to fill a tooth gap.

"Don't go too far, this is already ash."

Liu Chengfeng complained that even the best-grade magic ash was only enough to fill a tooth gap; if he wanted to feed it, wouldn't he need holy ash or divine ash?
These are all incredibly expensive items. Holy Ash starts at 1 billion or 800 million on the market, while Divine Ash is priceless.

He can't afford it.

The ash from the sky is put into the furnace, replacing the ash from the method of setting sun. The celestial body directly notes it: the ash of nothingness!
What is nihilism and utter desolation?

Liu Chengfeng had never heard of such a thing before; there was no explanation for it.

However, being able to obtain celestial body annotations is definitely a good thing.

Liu Chengfeng activated the "Nine-Tiered Heavenly Heart Method" to refine spiritual energy and nourish the void and ashes.

Only after practicing did I realize that this was more than just a good thing; it was a divine object!

The Nine-Tiered Heavenly Heart Method can refine the three natural forces of earth, wood, and fire.

However, the Void Ashes can refine any kind of natural power and transform it back into any kind of natural power, making it extremely pure.

Even the power of light, which Liu Chengfeng had never practiced before, could be refined by it, or other natural forces could be transformed into the power of light.

"Don't go too far, otherwise what's the point of using the guiding powder?"

The sheer audacity of the Void Ashes left Liu Chengfeng speechless.

No wonder the cheap master insisted that he go and retrieve the Void Ashes; no wonder the Golden Crow God desired it but could not obtain it.

All of this effort was worthwhile.

"rise--"

Liu Chengfeng accumulated a great deal of natural power, which overflowed into the furnace of life.

Ultimately, it will be transformed into the purest power, soaring into the sky and crashing towards the Kingdom of Truth, determined to blast it apart.

He wanted to see what was in the Land of Truth.

Its pure power is overwhelming, like the roar of a true dragon, pure and strong, soaring into the sky like a rainbow piercing the sun.

Liu Chengfeng frantically channeled the power of the "Nine Heavenly Treasures Heart Method," unleashing the pure power to its absolute limit.

The violent and domineering attack struck the Kingdom of Heavenly Justice, and with a loud bang, the gate was smashed open with a gap three fingers wide.

The Kingdom of Truth has appeared; truth is as vast as the sea, pure and supreme, capable of being both complex and simple, a single drop can be the origin!
The voice of truth exploded, and Liu Chengfeng was almost blown away by it after just one glance.

In the instant of being blown away, capture the truth and grasp the source!
When the door slammed shut, Liu Chengfeng scooped up a handful of truth.

Truth cannot be retained; if it is not used, it will be taken back.

Liu Chengfeng, struck by a sudden inspiration, roared loudly.

"I say that true feelings in this world can be reincarnated and transcend countless eons!"

My thoughts are the way of Heaven, my words are the truth.

When words are spoken, laws are followed, and truth is revealed.

Truth is like a spear; once thrown, it strikes into the treasure trove of divine wisdom.

A deafening roar shook the heavens, as if the treasure mountain had collapsed. Truth was nailed in, merging with everything, and the treasure mountain was crumbling.

"Hold on—"

Liu Chengfeng was startled and immediately activated his internal energy cultivation technique, causing his muscles and bones to creak.

The Six Fiends' innate colored copper erupted, like heavenly tendons and divine bones, supporting the flesh and blood body and carrying the framework of the treasure mountain's divine treasury.

Truth is too domineering; it still integrates the entire treasure mountain's divine treasury, including the Dragon and Phoenix Six Fiends Heart Sutra, the Six Fiends Sword Technique, and the Innate Colored Copper...

They must all be integrated into one with the truth.
