Chapter 209 No. in the world
Liu Chengfeng withdrew from his mind and shut down his senses.

That madman, Tian Duan Cao, is too noisy and disruptive, giving me a headache and making me unable to stand it.

"who--"

In an instant, Liu Chengfeng became wary and retreated, the Guiyuan Nimesis Cauldron in his hand.

A person appeared on the ship silently, concealing their presence, yet still frightening Liu Chengfeng.

Liu Chengfeng thought it was men in black attacking, and his fighting spirit was aroused.

Upon closer inspection, it was an old man, not a man in black.

The old man had a gaunt, tortoise-like face, deep, unfathomable eyes, and wore a suit of blue stone armor, exuding an air of aged strength and power.

"You must be here to become the emperor."

The old man sized up Liu Chengfeng.

"who are you?"

Liu Chengfeng remained vigilant.

"Wu Changsheng."

Liu Chengfeng had never heard of this name before, so of course he didn't recognize it.

Then he announced his name: Heavenly Martial God.

"Senior Tianwu God, the Lord of Tianwu God Kingdom."

Liu Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and recalled what Ye Huijian had told him.

The Heavenly Martial God, a second-tier main god, has ignited his divine fire and founded the Heavenly Martial God Kingdom on the Heavenly Martial Continent.

He attained enlightenment from a tortoise and is the longest-living main god in the Qingmeng Realm today.

"I wonder if senior has any advice?"

Liu Chengfeng had doubts in his heart. He had not yet gone to the Heavenly Martial God Kingdom to become emperor, but the Heavenly Martial God had come to him.

"I wouldn't dare offer any advice, but I'd like to know what kind of person the emperor sent by the Taixu Divine Dynasty is."

The Heavenly Martial God was kind and sat down.

Liu Chengfeng poured him tea as a gesture of hospitality.

"What was the senior's attitude?"

Liu Chengfeng was also very curious.

A divine kingdom, with immense power, yet it was subordinate to the Taixu Divine Dynasty.

The Heavenly Martial God is the progenitor of the divine kingdom. He is still alive, and the Heavenly Martial Divine Kingdom also had an emperor who reigned for thousands of years.

Now that he's an outsider, suddenly becoming emperor, he's probably not well-liked.

"I am old and about to die. I only hope that the Heavenly Martial Kingdom will have a good ending."

Tianwu Shen sighed with emotion.

"I wonder if you, senior, welcome me, the new emperor?"

Liu Chengfeng was frank and direct, getting straight to the point.

“I was born in the Taixu Divine Dynasty and was taught the Dao by the lineage of the god Ananda. We all belong to the lineage of the god Ananda.”

The Heavenly Martial God's attitude is already quite clear.

"But now they want to change the emperor."

Liu Chengfeng had his doubts. Since they were of the same lineage, they should be of one mind. The sudden change of emperor was suspicious.

"The God of the Azure Sky has returned."

The Heavenly Martial God revealed some information.

Liu Chengfeng felt a chill run down his spine. Was this the tribulation Ye Huijian was about to face?
"How is the God of the Azure Sky?"

"If Cangyu Shen is second, no one in the Qingmeng Realm dares to claim first place. When he returns, he will surely take over the Taixu Realm."

The Heavenly Martial God is also a main god, and has already ignited his divine fire, but when the "Azure Universe God" is mentioned, his expression becomes solemn.

"No. 1 in the world."

Liu Chengfeng's heart tightened. This was the stronger person Ye Huijian had mentioned, someone above her.

"Who wouldn't want to be on the same side as the best in the world?"

Liu Chengfeng understood that the Heavenly Martial God was old and about to die.

The Heavenly Martial Divine Kingdom will eventually have a destination, belonging to the Great Void Divine Dynasty as well. However, depending on different gods, the outcome will be different.

The current emperor of the Heavenly Martial Divine Kingdom probably wants to pledge allegiance to the Azure Universe God.

This was Ye Huijian's purpose in wanting him to become emperor.

"You won't interfere, senior?"

Liu Chengfeng asked a question in return.

"I am a dying man and cannot decide the fate of the Tianwu Kingdom. If I forcibly interfere, it may bring annihilation to the Tianwu Kingdom."

"The fate of the Tianwu Kingdom will ultimately be decided by the Divine Dynasty."

Although the Heavenly Martial God said he wouldn't interfere, Liu Chengfeng understood his meaning when he came to see him.

This is why Ye Huijian said that he needed to give Tianwu God an explanation.

"The fate of the Tianwu Kingdom is in your hands; it is up to you to decide."

The Heavenly Martial God looked at Liu Chengfeng with a meaningful gaze.

“I will sit on this throne, but not now. I need to go to the Sea Ruins.”

Liu Chengfeng confessed.

Becoming emperor of Tianwu Kingdom is important, but obtaining the leaves of the Heavenly Broken Grass to save Yu Huanrui is even more important.

"You can come whenever you want. The situation is still unclear. The Tianxuan Divine Kingdom is about to start a war, so you can wait."

With the words of the Heavenly Martial God, Liu Chengfeng was relieved.

Since there's internal strife in Tianwu, let them run wild for now and see who's on Cangyu Shen's side.

"How should I become this emperor?"

Liu Chengfeng asked for advice, saying that although he was also the emperor of the Golden Crow Ancient Kingdom, he had never actually been an emperor for a single day.

"When you come, look for the Imperial Advisor; she is one of your people."

"National Division."

Liu Chengfeng noted it down.

“When you return from the Sea Ruins, you can look for Zhang Fan. He can take you into the Imperial City; he's also one of the Imperial Advisor's men.”

Tianwu pointed towards the harbor and told Liu Chengfeng.

Inside the port, beside a bustling long street, under a large tree, a young man set up a stall and called out to attract alchemists.

Liu Chengfeng noted it down.

Whether you can become emperor or not depends on yourself; there's nothing I can do to help you.

After Tianwu Shen finished speaking, he left.

Liu Chengfeng felt a chill run down his spine. It seemed that becoming emperor was not something that could be done so easily; a bloody battle was likely to follow.

How many people will not tolerate him once he seizes the throne?
Liu Chengfeng disembarked and entered the harbor, intending to go over and greet Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan, this young man, was dressed in brocade robes, exuding an air of nobility, yet possessing a simple and unassuming appearance.

He set up a stall and shouted to recruit alchemists.

"Four refinements?"

No customers had come for a long time, but Zhang Fan's eyes lit up when he saw Liu Chengfeng arrive.

"Is this how you recruit fourth-level alchemists?"

Liu Chengfeng was speechless. Alchemists at the fourth level of refinement weren't everywhere. How could he possibly attract customers by setting up a stall like this?

"Hey, brother, you don't know this, but my Prince's disciples have searched all over the Void Sea and still couldn't find him. I want to do my part too."

"Are you at the fourth level of refinement? Mid-grade or high-grade?"

Zhang Fan sighed and recruited alchemists, hoping to refine a longevity elixir for the ancestor.

However, even after sending out all his disciples, he still couldn't recruit them, so he had no choice but to shamelessly recruit them at the busiest port.

Now, seeing Liu Chengfeng come to apply for the job, his eyes lit up. Heaven had finally taken pity on him; a fourth-level alchemist had come knocking on his door.

"Then let's go with the highest grade." Liu Chengfeng was speechless; he hadn't come here to apply for an alchemy job.

"Brother, no, Master, please, please come with me into the Imperial City and help us refine some pills. All rewards are negotiable."

Upon hearing that it was "a top-grade fourth-level refinement," Zhang Fan was thrilled and quickly grabbed Liu Chengfeng's hand, afraid that he would run away.

"So young, and already at the fourth level of cultivation, I want him."

Suddenly an old man appeared, his eyes shining as if he had seen a treasure, and he quickly grabbed Liu Chengfeng's hand.

The old man who suddenly appeared had a bulbous nose, wore gray clothes, had a large gourd of wine at his waist, and reeked of alcohol.

"Senior Wine Immortal, you can't take it from me."

When the old man came to snatch it, Zhang Fan became anxious.

"What do you mean he's going to take it from you? Is he one of yours? Did he even apply for the job? Even if he did, he can always switch jobs."

The wine connoisseur Murong was also anxious and insisted on competing with Zhang Fan for it.

"Senior Wine Immortal, that's not how it works. We asked your Green Wood Divine Kingdom for help in refining pills, and you not only stood us up, but you also tried to steal us away."

Zhang Fan refused to let go, determined not to let the Wine Immortal steal Liu Chengfeng away.

The wine immortal was a little embarrassed by Zhang Fan's words, but he held onto Liu Chengfeng tightly with both hands and wouldn't let go.

“I also urgently need a fourth-level alchemist right now. Kid, how about this: I'll give him back to you after I've used him up.”

The wine immortal emboldened himself and insisted that Liu Chengfeng go with him.

"Senior, your Green Wood Divine Kingdom has so many alchemists, and you yourself are a fourth-grade high-level alchemist. Why would you need to compete with me?"

Zhang Fan begged.

"As for, as for, we are currently extremely thirsty for and in dire need of the highest-grade four-refined materials."

"Boy, no, master, come with me. Our Green Wood Divine Kingdom is a paradise for alchemists. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

In his quest to win over Liu Chengfeng, the wine connoisseur Murong abandoned all pretense of shame, addressing him directly as "Master."

Zhang Fan refused to give up, refusing to back down no matter what. He had finally met a high-grade alchemist at the fourth level of refinement.

How could he possibly let him go? Otherwise, how could he explain it to the Imperial Advisor?

"Are you sure you want to go this far?"

Zhang Fan and the others each held one arm, with the men on either side, while Liu Chengfeng remained silent.

He just wanted to go up and say hello, but he didn't expect to become a hot commodity.

"As for it, as for it, Master, please come with me."

"Master, come to my Green Wood Divine Kingdom, we are a paradise for alchemists."

Both of them begged Liu Chengfeng to come with them, leaving Liu Chengfeng both amused and exasperated.

"What are you trying to do? Rob me?"

A loud shout rang out, and Lin Chen arrived with a group of brothers, coming in a menacing manner.

She was a loyal friend, and immediately offered her help when she saw Liu Chengfeng in trouble.

"Let go of me, all of you. Want to fight?"

Lin Chen showed absolutely no gentleness, and led his brothers in a chaotic assault to forcibly "rescue" Liu Chengfeng.

"Little bandit, what do you think you're doing? This is the Heavenly Martial Divine Kingdom, a place where the law prevails."

Upon seeing Liu Chengfeng being abducted, the wine immortal Murong cursed angrily.

“That’s right, there are laws here. Our Tianwu Kingdom will not tolerate your wild behavior.”

Zhang Fan also objected, jumped up, and joined forces with the Wine Immortal.

"The law will be enforced; first, question my knife."

Lin Chen drew her sword, and her brothers around her also drew their swords, their aura fierce and valiant.

Lin Chen swore that he was not a bandit, but a member of the Wasteland Scavenging Group.

This brute force is making Liu Chengfeng wonder if this is really the Wasteland Scavenging Group.
"My knife is just as sharp!"

The wine connoisseur drew his sword, but instead pulled out a wine gourd from his waist. He chuckled dryly and quickly switched swords, clearly having drunk too much.

"My sword is just as sharp."

Zhang Fan also drew his sword, unwilling to be outdone, displaying a powerful and imposing aura.

"Alright, this is a misunderstanding, stop it, all of you."

The two sides were on the verge of exchanging blows when Liu Chengfeng stopped them.

“Master, come with me. The Azure Wood Divine Kingdom will satisfy all your needs.”

The wine immortal immediately embraced Liu Chengfeng and begged him.

"No, you have to come with me, and I'll offer you a hefty reward."

Zhang Fan didn't care about confronting Lin Chen and the others, nor did he let go.

The fact that there were men on either side left Lin Chen speechless; he knew there was a misunderstanding.

"We should go now, let's head to Haixu."

Seeing that Liu Chengfeng was alright, Lin Chen was relieved and bid farewell to Liu Chengfeng.

“I’ll also go to Haixu, let’s go together.”

Upon hearing that they were going to Haixu, Liu Chengfeng finally managed to shake off Jiu Xian and Zhang Fan.

"Alright, let's go together, brothers, let's go."

Lin Chen was naturally welcoming, and he led his brothers aboard the ship, weighed anchor, and set sail.

Last time, her ship was destroyed and she was silenced by the men in black. This time, she has acquired a new divine ship and brought even more brothers with her.

Liu Chengfeng boarded the ship and set off, while Zhang Fan and Jiu Xian followed him to the dock.

"Master, when will you return?"

"Master, we await your return. Come back to Qingmu Kingdom with me, the paradise of alchemists."

Zhang Fan and Jiu Xian shouted at Liu Chengfeng.

"You're a grown man, how come you're so popular?"

Lin Chen looked at Liu Chengfeng and couldn't help but marvel.

Her crew burst into laughter, and the ship was filled with joyful laughter.

Liu Chengfeng was speechless; he had been shot while lying down, and he was completely innocent.

"Let's go, Haixu! Our chance to make a fortune has arrived! Everyone, stay alert, the Sixth Boss is coming!"

Lin Chen shouted, urging the crew to get to work.

The Celestial Ship set off at incredible speed, hurtling towards the center of the Heavenly Ruins Sea—the Sea Ruins.

On the boat, Liu Chengfeng asked about the man in black.

"Without a trace, he vanished after a brief exchange with the old woman's divine gift."

"Grandma said that with his strength, he is probably in the top three in the Heavenly Ruins Sea."

Lin Chen's expression was solemn.

"Top three—"

Liu Chengfeng's heart sank. Who was this person, and why did he want to open the Heavenly Wall?

Liu Chengfeng told Lin Chen about the man in black's plan to open the Heavenly Wall.

"No way, absolutely impossible."

Lin Chen shook his head.

"why?"

"Throughout history, no one has been able to open the Heavenly Wall, not even the Supreme God."

"Beyond the Heavenly Wall lies the Sea Ruins Pillar, the pillar that supports the sky above the Ruins Sea, and no one is allowed to approach it."

“Even the main gods cannot cross the Heavenly Wall, let alone the Yin Land before the Heavenly Wall, where even a fourth-level main god might die.”

“Even my mother-in-law doesn’t dare to go there. The underworld is the most terrifying place; once you go, you never come back.”

Lin Chen frequently ventured into the sea market to search for wasteland and was very familiar with it.

"This is interesting."

Why did the man in black insist on opening the Heavenly Wall? What was his purpose?
