Chapter 136 The Secret of the Azure Emperor

After the enthronement ceremony concluded and the ruler ascended to the throne, the Giant Spirit Peak Heaven was revitalized.

With the support of Yinhou Miaofengtian, who provided a large amount of resources, Julingfengtian was able to be rebuilt.

Those who fled Giant Spirit Peak back then have all moved back.

Giant Spirit Peak, once a ghost town, has become bustling and prosperous once again.

When rebuilding Giant Spirit Peak, Liu Chengfeng left all the tasks—personnel appointments, rule establishment—to Emperor Xuanwu and Empress Mulan, without getting involved himself.

The three ancient kingdoms are going all out to serve and share the burdens of their sovereign.

Liu Chengfeng decided to leave everything to a hands-off manager and go into seclusion to cultivate his skills, aiming to break through his bottleneck and advance to the third level of demigod.

With a formidable enemy at hand, he dared not be negligent. Zhao Tian had already reached the third level of the Godhood Realm, and might even have reached the Great Perfection.

They are separated by a great realm, and Liu Chengfeng must overcome the difficulties to catch up and kill Zhao Tian.

With the support of the ancestral Dao foundation of Giant Spirit Peak Heaven, the spiritual energy is as vast as the sea. Liu Chengfeng absorbs the spiritual energy, refines his soul, and strengthens his Dao foundation at an extremely fast pace.

With the reconstruction of Giant Spirit Peak, the city became more prosperous and bustling than ever before, and the imperial capital of the Xuanwu Ancient Kingdom attracted even more people.

Liu Chengfeng's innate True Immortal Bronze Body underwent a great change, absorbing a massive amount of human power, making it even more complete.

Under the influence of the mantra, Liu Chengfeng discovered many profound mysteries during the refining process.

For example, when the willpower of human beings dominates the innate truth of the immortal bronze body, the immortal body becomes hard and unbreakable.

For example, the greedy power of human power can give the immortal bronze body the power to devour.

For example, the power of love and desire in the human world can make the immortal bronze body infinitely vibrant and its life force even more vigorous.

…………

"This is possible. It can cultivate a different physique, and perhaps it will become an immortal physique."

Liu Chengfeng was overjoyed and pondered the evolution of the true words in terms of human power.

While developing the power of humanity, Liu Chengfeng did not stop trying to break through to the third stage.

He absorbed a massive amount of spiritual energy, integrated it into his Dao foundation, strengthened his Dao source, and nourished his soul.

By circulating the "Nine Chi of Gaoli," the soul is tempered and forged using the laws of the Great Dao. With the power of the Great Dao, the essence of the Dao source, and the foundation of the Dao, it is refined into a primordial spirit.

The most ferocious was Liu Chengfeng's consumption of the Great Dao Elixir.

Take the Three Refinement Dao Pill and the Four Refinement Dao Pill alternately.

The third refinement of the Great Dao Elixir strengthens the soul and primordial spirit; the fourth refinement of the Great Dao Elixir strengthens the foundation of the Dao and the divine nature.

At the demigod level, one can generally only consume the Three-Refined Great Dao Pill; the Four-Refined Pill is too wasteful and extravagant.

Liu Chengfeng didn't care about any of that. He used the Three Refinements Great Dao Pill to strengthen his soul and primordial spirit, and then used the Four Refinements to strengthen his Dao foundation.

With a solid foundation in the Dao, the Great Dao becomes active, nourishing the soul and enabling it to forge the primordial spirit.

Such extravagant and wasteful behavior is unprecedented, even in the Divine Dynasty.

After all, there are very few alchemists at the fourth level of refinement, and the Divine Dynasty is so vast that there are many people who need the Great Dao Pill.

Liu Chengfeng regretted that he did not have a Five-Refining Spirit Stove, otherwise he would have liked to test the power of a Five-Refining Great Dao Pill.

Liu Chengfeng did not tell anyone about the Five Refinements, but he did ask the Langya Goddess and her brother.

"A Five-Refining Spirit Stove? There isn't one in the Southern Frontier; it's probably only found in the Divine Dynasty. In the Azure Mist Realm, the number of Five-Refining Spirit Stoves that have ever appeared can be counted on one hand."

The Goddess of Langya was surprised to think that Liu Chengfeng had the ambition to reach the fifth level of cultivation. She also felt it was only natural, as no one was more qualified than him for the fourth level of cultivation.

There was no such thing as the Five Refinements in the world at that time, so the Goddess of Langya did not know where to find the Five Refinements Spirit Stove. She could only guess that perhaps only the Divine Dynasty had it.

"What about medicinal herbs that are millions of years old?"

Without the Five Refining Spirit Stove, Liu Chengfeng wanted to stock up on some medicinal herbs.

"Million-year-old medicinal herbs exist, but they are very rare. I've heard that our ancestor had some in stock, but it's not certain that we can get them. I'll try to ask him for you when I have the chance."

The Goddess of Langya was also uncertain, as she was busy with matters concerning the Divine River.

"Are you going to participate in the Shenchuan affair? The new leader of the alliance will be born from the Lower Seven Peaks Heaven."

The Goddess of Langya also reminded Liu Chengfeng of this matter.

What are the benefits of being the alliance leader?

Liu Chengfeng had no intention of becoming an alliance leader; he came to the Southern Frontier to investigate Empress Yin.

"The biggest advantage is that it can control all the resources of Shenchuan. Of course, under reasonable circumstances, it can also command the Seven Peaks within a certain range."

"There are many benefits."

Liu Chengfeng's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"The leader of the alliance also bears responsibility. During riots at the burial grounds, the leader of the alliance often takes the lead."

"Forget it, I'm not prepared to sacrifice myself for the Southern Frontier."

Liu Chengfeng immediately lost interest. Charging into the burial ground was a death sentence, and he had no interest in it.

Without the Five Refinement Spirit Stove, even a million-year-old divine medicine is hard to find. Liu Chengfeng could only put this matter aside and continue his arduous cultivation to strive for the third stage.

Through repeated forging, the soul within the Dao Foundation and the Dao Source has taken shape, beginning to have limbs and facial features.

Liu Chengfeng worked day and night without stopping, using all his blood and energy, and the power of the Great Dao, to drive the forging process.

When the soul is fully clear, it transforms into the primordial spirit.

"become--"

Liu Chengfeng gathered all his blood energy and activated the Four Divine Treasures.

Blood and Qi fuel the furnace of life, transforming it into boundless true fire of life, allowing the seed of the Great Dao to possess an even more magnificent true fire of the Great Dao.

The true fire is boundless, the source of life is alive, the foundation of the Dao resonates, and the power of the laws refines the soul.

The true fire of the Great Dao also surged forth, refining and tempering endlessly.

As the primordial spirit was formed, the foundation of the Dao resounded, and light surged forth.

Finally, with a loud bang, the primordial spirit burst forth with radiance, revealing a series of laws.

The primordial spirit leaps up, as if it has been reborn from the physical body; the world becomes clear and bright, and all things can be seen.

"Primordial Spirit Formation, Third Stage!"

Overjoyed, Liu Chengfeng, through arduous training and excessive drug use, coupled with the support of immense power, finally broke through and advanced to the third level of demigod.

At the third level of demigod, one possesses a primordial spirit and can summon gods.

If the gods are willing, or if there is a connection, even the supreme deity can be summoned.

As Liu Chengfeng trains diligently, the Divine River will open, bringing a magnificent new look to the entire southern border region.

Shenchuan, also known as Daokuang Shenchuan, is the gathering place of the ten major sects in the southern border region, and the land is vast.

These ten veins are all main veins, and the spiritual energy of the entire Southern Frontier originates from them. This place is where precious treasures can be born.

The most abundant resource is Dao minerals, which are needed by the Great Dao Divine Treasury and even by the gods themselves.

Shenchuan is usually closed off, but now, with the permission of the two peaks, it has been opened.

The Divine River opens, and the Seven Peaks below vie for supremacy, vying for the alliance leader.

The seven peaks also began to discuss the rules for challenging the alliance leader, of course, the Giant Spirit Peak was excluded.

Liu Chengfeng didn't inquire about the matter; he had no interest in the leader of the alliance and only wanted to investigate the Empress Yin.

The Six Great Peaks are about to hold a Sky-Soaring Assembly, but Liu Chengfeng has not been invited because the Sky-Soaring Assembly will be hosted by Zhao Tian.

"What? We won't even get a share of the resources from the three great dynasties?"

Upon hearing Queen Mulan's report, Liu Chengfeng became indignant.

He had no interest in the position of alliance leader, and he also had no objection to being excluded from the Sky Ascension Conference.

However, if the resources supplied by the three great dynasties are not allocated to their Giant Spirit Peak Heaven, Liu Chengfeng is about to overturn the table.

Even if he doesn't need these resources, countless powerful figures on Giant Spirit Peak are starving for them.

"Ever since the Giant Spirit God's betrayal, our Giant Spirit Peak Heaven has never received any resources from the three great divine dynasties."

Empress Mulan complained.

It wasn't easy for the three ancient kingdoms either. After the Giant Spirit God betrayed them, the distribution of resources was cut off, and the entire Giant Spirit Peak Heaven relied on them for support.

Later, unable to sustain itself any longer, the Giant Spirit Peak Heaven disintegrated.

Liu Chengfeng returned and ascended to the position of ruler, supported by the talent of Yin Hou Miaofeng, but this was not a long-term solution.

"What does the Giant Spirit God have to do with me?"

Liu Chengfeng was furious that he hadn't received any supplies and threatened to overturn the table.

"Go to Daokuang Shenchuan and open up Qingdi Ancestral Peak."

The sound of a handful of yellow earth echoed in my mind.

"Azure Emperor Ancestral Peak, the root of the Azure Emperor?" Upon hearing this name, Liu Chengfeng felt a chill run down his spine.

"Whether it's the root or not, you'll have to ask the Faceless Woman. Didn't she tell you it's the root of the ancestral lineage?"

Liu Chengfeng was startled, remembering what the faceless stone statue had said.

It was only then that he realized that the woman who held the basket was a woman.

"There is no ancestral root there."

The faceless stone statue, which had been silent all along, spoke.

"But, there is the primordial essence of the ancestors there."

A handful of yellow earth urges Liu to ride the wind.

The faceless stone statue snorted coldly and remained silent.

Liu Chengfeng sensed something amiss; a clump of yellow earth and the faceless stone statue seemed to be at odds.

"Brother Wanlan, is the Azure Emperor's Ancestral Peak the location of the Azure Emperor's roots?"

Liu Chengfeng was very curious.

The faceless stone statue had black lines on its forehead and remained silent.

"You'll find out when you go."

A handful of yellow earth continued to urge them on.

Liu Chengfeng sensed the problem. A handful of yellow earth longed for him to go to the Green Emperor Ancestral Peak, while the faceless stone statue clearly understood what was there.

There's something fishy here.

"Why should I go? I'm not interested."

Liu Chengfeng held it up and poured a handful of yellow soil into the pit.

Don't you want to become stronger?

A clump of yellow earth was indeed put into the pit, and seeing that Liu Chengfeng was not leaving, it became anxious.

There's potential, but there are also problems.

Liu Chengfeng was very curious as to why a handful of yellow earth wanted him to go to Qingdi Ancestral Peak. His intuition told him that Qingdi Ancestral Peak must be related to Wanlan Ge.

"I have many ways to become stronger, I don't necessarily have to go to the Azure Emperor Ancestral Peak."

Liu Chengfeng refused.

"you--"

Liu Chengfeng was so angry that he was angered by a handful of yellow earth.

"You can go and take a look; there is a natural colored copper vein on the Azure Emperor Ancestral Peak."

The star, who had been silent all along, hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

"A naturally occurring copper vein—"

Liu Chengfeng was deeply shaken. Innate colored copper was priceless; a single vein of it was simply incredible.

"Right, you have to want the innate colored bronze, don't you?"

With a grin on his face, he encouraged Liu Chengfeng.

"I don't really want it. It's just colored copper, a treasure trove, not very useful."

Liu Chengfeng remained calm, appearing indifferent.

"Ignorance. The Four Divine Treasures each have their own wonders."

A handful of yellow earth was used to shout.

"Say whatever you want. So many people are eager to go, but I don't want to take the risk. My life is more important."

Liu Chengfeng was quite certain that a handful of yellow earth was urgently urging him to enter the Azure Emperor Ancestral Peak; he was waiting for the fish to take the bait.

"What do you want to make me go to the Azure Emperor Ancestral Peak?"

Sure enough, the mound of yellow earth couldn't hold its breath any longer.

They've fallen for the trap; things are looking up.

"That depends on what you can give me."

Liu Chengfeng remained as steady as an old dog, waiting for the truth to be revealed in a handful of yellow earth.

A clump of yellow earth remained silent for a long while.

"Didn't you want to know about the instep of the Queen of the Underworld?"

After a long while, a handful of yellow earth chuckled softly.

"how do you know?"

Liu Chengfeng lost his voice.

"You're being too obvious. Anyone who isn't blind can see it."

He looked disdainful, as if raising his chin.

"Do you know the instep of the Queen of the Underworld?"

Liu Chengfeng was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

"Go to the Azure Emperor Ancestral Peak, and I might be able to tell you some secrets."

"You said it yourself."

Liu Chengfeng saw that his opportunity had come.

"If you don't want to go, then forget it."

He realized he'd been tricked after picking up a handful of yellow earth and turned on them.

"One must not break one's word."

Liu Chengfeng caught her and insisted that she confess.

"Then go ahead, I'll tell you a secret about the Queen of the Underworld."

"It's a word."

Liu Chengfeng was so inspired that he searched high and low without success, only to find it effortlessly.

"do not go."

The silent, faceless stone statue urged Liu Chengfeng to ride the wind.

"why?"

Liu Chengfeng was curious.

He discovered that the faceless stone statue and a mound of yellow earth were in a hostile relationship.

As for the relationship between the stars, he hadn't figured it out yet.

The faceless stone statue remained silent.

"What benefits can you give me if I don't go?"

Liu Chengfeng wanted to lure the faceless stone statue into the pit.

The faceless stone statues remain silent and do not enter the pit.

"She has many secrets, it just depends on whether she's willing to tell you, like the Azure Emperor back then—"

"Qing Emperor——"

Mentioning this first emperor of all time, Liu Chengfeng felt a chill run down his spine.

"Brother Wanlan, what is your relationship with Qingdi?"

Liu Chengfeng wanted to find out this secret.

The faceless stone statue has an ellipsis above its head, indicating that it doesn't like the nickname "Basket-Carrying Brother".

"are friends?"

The faceless statue did not respond.

"A couple? Priests?"

Liu Chengfeng probed indirectly.

The faceless stone statue was even more speechless, and a handful of yellow earth chuckled, seemingly enjoying watching her make a fool of herself.

"How did you meet the Azure Emperor? How long have you known each other?"

Liu Chengfeng asked many questions, and in the end, the faceless stone statue couldn't stand him anymore and simply disappeared.

"Alright, I'll go to Shenchuan and climb the Azure Emperor Ancestral Peak."

Liu Chengfeng has made a decision!
