The Crown Prince's Golden Palace, its golden light dimmed, still held its seal.

He Qingying, Hu Panhuang, and the others stood in front of the palace, looking at Liu Chengfeng to see if he could break the seal.

If Liu Chengfeng cannot break the seal, his legitimacy as the crown prince will be questioned, and his reputation will be damaged.

Standing before the Crown Prince's Golden Palace, the Mountain Spirit Flower pendant on his chest burned intensely.

Upon arriving at Jinwu Tiandu, the mountain spirit's money was already warm, but now it was so hot it seemed to be jumping around.

"open--"

At this moment, Liu Chengfeng had a sudden inspiration. With a single thought in mind, he held the Mountain Spirit Coin in his hand, circulated his blood and energy, and poured it into it.

The mountain spirit spent money to emit golden light, and the Crown Prince's Golden Palace also lit up, the originally dim golden light becoming bright and dazzling.

The seal appeared, runes flowed, and the heavy sound of a door moving echoed. The seal opened, and the doors of the main hall slowly opened.

When everyone saw Liu Chengfeng open the Crown Prince's Golden Palace, they had nothing to say. He was indeed the successor of the Crown Prince Li, and this was acknowledged.

"The Golden Palace welcomes the Lord back; a cause for celebration."

Hu Panhuang was very enthusiastic and congratulated Liu Chengfeng, even expressing his willingness to send a large number of troops to guard the Crown Prince's Golden Palace to protect its safety.

Liu Chengfeng refused his offer, and only then did he give up, bid farewell, and leave with his men.

"Those who seek to uphold orthodoxy are courting death."

He Qingying disliked Liu Chengfeng but harbored no hatred towards him. She simply uttered a cold sentence and left.

After everyone left, Liu Chengfeng and the Sixth Patriarch entered the Crown Prince's Golden Palace.

The Crown Prince's Golden Palace was very large, a solemn and grand hall, but it was empty and required hundreds of servants to attend to it.

“After the Crown Prince left, no one took over the position. Today, we finally welcome our new master.”

The Sixth Patriarch looked at the Crown Prince's Golden Palace and was deeply moved.

Liu Chengfeng was curious and asked him how he escaped being sniped.

"I fought and fled, bypassing the Taiyi Wilderness, and found myself in a desperate situation. I almost lost my life, but fortunately the Prime Minister appeared and saved me."

The Sixth Patriarch recounted the perilous escape he had faced that day, how he was relentlessly pursued by several powerful cultivators from the Great Dao Divine Realm, from whom he could not shake them off.

With his life hanging by a thread, the Dawn Sword God descended, frightening away a powerful enemy and saving his life.

With the Sixth Patriarch safe and sound, Liu Chengfeng was finally at ease.

"The person who wants your life is probably not as simple as Yuan Pojun."

The Sixth Patriarch hesitated, fearing that someone might overhear him.

Liu Chengfeng removed the seal from the Crown Prince's Golden Palace, making it impossible for anyone to eavesdrop.

"It could be His Majesty. Of course, he doesn't want your life, he wants the mountain spirit to spend money. You need to be careful."

The Sixth Patriarch lowered his voice and reminded Liu Chengfeng.

Liu Chengfeng felt a chill run down his spine and made a mental note of it.

Shen Yunzhi also said something similar.

"If there are truly divine skills hidden in the palace, they may be the key to the Investiture of the Gods, and your situation will be very dangerous."

The Sixth Patriarch was worried and gave Liu Chengfeng a few words of advice, his words carrying a hidden meaning.

The Sixth Patriarch did not stay long. Before leaving, he remarked that the Prince's Golden Palace was empty and desolate, and that some servants should be hired to attend to it.

After the Sixth Patriarch left, Liu Chengfeng sent a message and contacted Shen Yunzhi.

"The young master should also have maids to serve him."

Shen Yunzhi knew that Liu Chengfeng was guarding the Crown Prince's Golden Palace alone, and that was the same idea.

Liu Chengfeng refused, feeling it was unnecessary.

The next day, several servants and maids entered the palace. They were summoned by the Sixth Patriarch to serve Liu Chengfeng.

"why you?"

A maidservant was serving him alone. When Liu Chengfeng saw her face clearly, he was startled.

This maid was actually Shen Yunzhi, a demigod transformed into a maid to serve him. How could he not be shocked?

"The Golden Palace is recruiting, so I have come to replace them. All the servants and maids in the palace are my servants and maids, who will serve you loyally. I wonder if you would agree?"

Shen Yunzhi served by his side, gentle and obedient, unlike a demigod.

"This is not good."

It's unbelievable that a demigod would hide herself as her own maid, especially since she was the noble Empress Gaogong.

At the same time, one can't help but marvel at Shen Yunzhi's methods, coming and going freely and silently in Jinwu Tiandu.

Neither the Crane Execution Bureau nor the Ape Spy discovered her.

"The Crown Prince's Golden Palace is the safest place in the Golden Crow Heavenly Capital. Yunzhi is fleeing from danger and has nowhere to go. Would you be willing to take her in, young master?"

Shen Yunzhi changed her words, lowering her head and acting like a maid.

"Your Majesty is so noble, it puts me in a very difficult position."

Liu Chengfeng was dumbfounded, never expecting that a demigod could be so flexible and adaptable.

"Then I'll take it as your agreement, young master."

Shen Yunzhi's face showed delight, a light blush spreading across her cheeks, as she bowed to Liu Chengfeng.

Liu Chengfeng was both amused and exasperated. If he hadn't known that she meant no harm, he would have kept his distance. Shen Yunzhi was too clever.

"There is something I don't understand: do the Crane Clan and my master have a deep-seated hatred for each other?"

Knowing that Shen Yunzhi was well-informed, Liu Chengfeng consulted her, but He Qingying's attitude always made him feel strange.

"I do know a thing or two about this matter. In the Golden Crow Ancient Kingdom, if we're talking about who hates Crown Prince Li the most, it's probably the Crane Clan."

"Why?"

Liu Chengfeng wondered if the old man had really done something heinous to the Crane Clan.
"The Crane Clan was originally allied with Prince Li through marriage, but in the end they turned against each other and became enemies."

"Back then, the Crane Clan Chief was incredibly talented and exceptionally beautiful. The Golden Crow God arranged for the Crown Prince Li to marry him."

"Because of this relationship, the Crane Clan devoted all their efforts to the Golden Crow Ancient Kingdom, and countless disciples died on the battlefield. The Crane Clan is the most steadfast supporter of Crown Prince Li."

"Even after the Crown Prince Li was defeated and became obsessed with treasure hunting, the Crane Clan continued to support him. Unfortunately, the Crown Prince Li was so focused on treasure hunting that he had no intention of marrying the clan leader."

"The patriarch of the Crane Clan died in despair, and the Crane Clan almost went bankrupt and declined. Ultimately, this led to the Crane Clan's veteran general joining forces with two other generals to expel the Crown Prince."

Shen Yunzhi told Liu Chengfeng in detail about the feud between the Crown Prince and the Crane Clan.

"I see."

Liu Chengfeng realized why He Qingying disliked him so much; the Crane Clan was blaming him for the old man's misdeeds.

He Qingying was already very restrained in not killing his successor for the sake of the Crane Clan.

"What kind of person was Emperor Tangshan?"

Remembering the Sixth Patriarch's reminder, Liu Chengfeng asked for guidance.

"He is shrewd and ambitious. Moreover, he is still young and long-lived, far from the time to retire. He may even ascend to the fourth level of demigod and condense a godhood in the future."

Shen Yunzhi told Liu Chengfeng about the general situation of Emperor Tangshan.

"Then what's the point of having an heir to the throne?"

Under such circumstances, the throne may not be passed down for thousands of years.

"The three branches of the old generals and the Phoenix Clan, how could they agree to let one person monopolize the Golden Crow Ancient Kingdom?"

Shen Yunzhi sighed softly. "Let the four clans fight each other to the death, and then reap the benefits. What a clever Emperor Tangshan is, no wonder he's so agreeable."

Liu Chengfeng suddenly understood that Emperor Tangshan was the first to recognize his legitimacy. At the time, he was puzzled as to why Emperor Tangshan was so generous.

"With the young master joining, the succession to the throne will become even more chaotic. Why not?"

Shen Yunzhi hit the nail on the head.

Liu Chengfeng felt a chill run down his spine. He had to be careful of Emperor Tangshan, who was even more terrifying than Yuan Pojun and Hu Panhuang.

Shen Yunzhi informed him of more information and details about the Golden Crow Ancient Kingdom so that he could prepare.

Liu Chengfeng listened attentively and remembered everything.

Shen Yunzhi's voice was gentle and soft, and when she spoke, it was like a gentle stream that seeped into one's heart and lungs, making it very pleasant to listen to.

As she explained in detail, Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but look at the beautiful woman in front of him.

Although she was draped in a loose white silk robe, her curves were still faintly visible, and her light makeup could not conceal her stunning beauty.

Liu Chengfeng was mesmerized, thinking of the snow-capped peaks, the vibrant red blossoms, the abundant and heavy fruits, the endless scenery and beauty.

It makes your heart flutter and makes you want to take a second look.

Shen Yunzhi explained in detail, and seeing Liu Chengfeng lost in thought, she called out to him.

"fine."

Liu Chengfeng felt awkward and withdrew his burning gaze.

Shen Yunzhi was intelligent and had a feeling. She instantly understood and her face flushed.

"Young master, please rest. Yunzhi will take her leave."

Shen Yunzhi stepped back, not wanting to appear flustered and let others see the blush on her face.

"Damn it, am I that thirsty?"

Having scared the person away, Liu Chengfeng felt embarrassed and ashamed, cursing himself inwardly.

Liu Chengfeng stayed in the Crown Prince's Golden Palace, not going anywhere else, and focused on cultivating and advancing to the fourth level of the Guiding Realm.

Now that he has accumulated enough true fire and possesses the ashes of the Falling Sun Dharma, it is time for him to attempt to reach the Great Perfection.

If he breaks through to the fourth level of the Guiding Realm, he will be able to advance to the Great Dao Divine Treasury.

Liu Chengfeng circulated his inner energy, absorbed spiritual energy, and refined the true fire.

His identity was recognized, allowing him to openly absorb the spiritual energy of the heavenly spiritual veins and foundations.

The spiritual energy surged into the body, was drawn into the furnace of life, and refined into the true fire of life.

The true life force and true fire are blazing, driving the blood and qi to refine and roar.

Blood and qi circulate throughout the body, nourishing the furnace of life.

The flames roared, and the furnace of life ignited boundless true fire, illuminating the heavens.

"It's time—"

Seeing that the true fire of life had reached its peak, Liu Chengfeng immediately threw himself into the ashes of the Falling Sun Dharma.

The ashes from the Falling Sun Ritual were put into the furnace and sank to the bottom, instantly absorbing all the true fire of life.

The ashes of the Falling Sun Dharma are originally grayish-white, but can be seen to glow. When they absorb all the true fire of life, they become blazing red and dazzling.

The next moment, the power of the Falling Sun Ash erupted and it was awakened, like a sun, spewing out a dazzling light.

With a deafening roar, the essence of the sun erupted and surged to the highest point of the heavens, illuminating the outline of the divine treasure of the Great Dao on the dome of the heavens.

"Open it for me—"

Liu Chengfeng shouted loudly, activated the "Three Gods Burning Heaven Heart Method", took the Guiding Powder, and absorbed more spiritual energy.

The Blood Sea Divine Treasury and the Treasure Mountain Divine Treasury resonated together, circulating their inner energy. All the blood and spiritual energy were integrated into the Guiding Divine Treasury, lending a helping hand to the Furnace of Life.

The ashes from the Falling Sun Dharma were even more dazzling, like a solar flare exploding, the sun's essence fire endless, rushing towards the dome.

We must break through the dome, overcome the bottleneck, and ascend to the Great Dao Divine Treasury.

Just as a breakthrough was about to occur, celestial bodies moved, light shone, and an ancient mental cultivation method emerged.

With a deafening roar, like thunderclaps that shook the ages, the ancient cultivation technique shot straight up, slashing towards the dome of the sky, splitting the heavens and the earth with unstoppable force.

"Here we go again. Don't shatter my Great Dao Divine Treasury."

The earth-shattering force startled Liu Chengfeng, who feared that the Great Dao Divine Treasury would be shattered by the ancient cultivation method before he could fully cultivate it.

With a deafening roar, the ancient cultivation technique exploded, shattering the dome of the sky as if breaking the heavens.

The pain made Liu Chengfeng scream, spit out a mouthful of blood, and his vision went black as he almost fainted.

Startled, Liu Chengfeng immediately took the Three Refined Mountain Pill to avoid leaving any old injuries or hidden damage.

It took Liu Chengfeng a while to come to his senses.

Upon closer inspection, I was stunned.

Above, the sky was filled with dazzling light and countless strange phenomena, stretching to the horizon.

Amidst endless, wondrous light, an ancient kingdom emerged.

"What the hell is this?"

Liu Chengfeng was shocked to see an ancient kingdom appear above his head.

Why is there an ancient kingdom above the heavens?

Liu Chengfeng immediately took two packets of Three-Refined Blood Medicine to replenish his blood and qi, and then activated the Sky Eye.

"open--"

Liu Chengfeng wanted to use the Sky Eye to peer into the ancient kingdom and see what was inside.

The all-seeing eye peered into the ancient kingdom, where a divine light shone. Before one could see clearly, the voice of truth was heard.

As the incantation resounded, a force capable of suppressing all ages struck out, instantly banishing Liu Chengfeng's prying gaze from the ancient kingdom.

The immense power caused Liu Chengfeng to cough up a mouthful of blood.

"Damn it, I'm not even allowed to look at my own things?"

Liu Chengfeng was terrified and cursed loudly.

However, the ancient kingdom truly refused to allow Liu Chengfeng to peek inside, for it contained unimaginable power.

"What is this thing?"

While both are hidden treasures of the gods, the World Tree is far more docile and useful than the Heavenly Abyss or the Ancient Kingdom.

At this moment, a clanging sound rang out, and the celestial body was marked as the ancient kingdom: the Kingdom of Truth.

"The Land of Truth—"

Liu Chengfeng muttered to himself, not knowing what it was.

At this moment, he wanted to call out the cheap nun and ask her what this thing was.

However, Ye Huijian did not appear; no one knows where he went.

"I hope the cheap nun hasn't run away."

Liu Chengfeng muttered something to himself.
