Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 138 Divine Dragon Secret Sect, Great Advancement in Cultivation

Di Yi used the same method to condense the True Source Mark and integrated it into the martial souls of A Le, Han Qiu, Ye Honglei, and Zi Yuan to help them cultivate.

The mark doesn't last long, only a few days, but it's enough to comprehend the rules of the sacred path.

The Purple Wind Star Envoy and the Green Robe Star Envoy were also brought into the World-Stabilizing Banner by him. The two had been following him for some time and could be considered loyal. Now they had gained Emperor Yi's trust.

Having witnessed the mysteries within the World-Stabilizing Banner and experienced the True Source Mark, both of them felt a sense of unreality, which strengthened their resolve to follow Emperor Yi.

After arranging things for everyone, Di Yi came to the body of the Dragon God and began to cultivate as well.

Most of the pill energy of the Saint Yuan Pill has not yet been refined. After breaking through to the Half-Saint realm, there are many aspects he needs to improve, and he needs to spend a lot of time honing his spiritual power, martial arts, physical body, and martial skills.

The battle with Gara-man and Moro-zang made Di-yi realize his lack of martial arts skills.

The mid-grade Ghost-level Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm and Hell Ghost King Claw are gradually becoming insufficient to meet his needs, and he needs to upgrade them to a higher level.

The sixth level of the Hell King Claw and the ninth palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm both correspond to high-grade ghost-level martial arts techniques.

The Hell King Claw technique was passed down from Emperor Yue. The Emperor family possesses the first seven levels of this claw technique, while the Yipin Hall also possesses the last two levels.

The Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm technique was obtained from Xia Xiongtu. Only the first ten palms were inherited, and it could only be cultivated to the level of a sacred technique. The last three palms were the core inheritance of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Path, and outsiders rarely had access to them.

Fortunately, Di Yi doesn't need to worry about this problem for the time being. Even if it's just the first ten strikes, it's enough to be used in the Saint Realm. After becoming a Saint, he can always take a trip to the Western Regions.

With the corpse of the Dragon God beside him, Di Yi planned to refine the pill energy to improve his cultivation while first practicing the ninth palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm.

The ninth palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm is called "Growing Scales and Transforming into a Dragon." As its name suggests, once mastered, the physical body can transform into a flying dragon.

By integrating the blood of the Dragon God into his body and refining it with the Blood Spirit Vein, it is extremely difficult for martial artists in the Fish-Dragon Realm to refine divine blood. However, the physical body of a half-saint is so strong that refining divine blood is not a difficult task.

While tempering his physical body's 144 acupoints, Di Yi also activated the two divine seals in his palms to cultivate the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm.

The greatest difficulty in cultivating the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm is controlling the surging Yang energy within the body. When one cultivates the eighth palm, Thousand Hands Dragon Elephant, the Yang energy within the body is only a hundred times that of an ordinary person. Once one cultivates the ninth palm, Scales Transform into Dragon, the Yang energy within the body will increase to a thousand times. If one cultivates the tenth palm, Dragon Soars Through the Nine Heavens, the Yang energy will reach a level of ten thousand times. With a single palm strike, even a saint can be incinerated.

With the divine blood of the Dragon God entering his body, Emperor Yi began to refine it by circulating the Nine Revolutions of the Heavenly Demon Diagram. This supreme body-refining technique of the Kunlun Realm was extremely domineering. One could enter the first stage and his physical body would be comparable to that of a half-saint. With minor success, he could fight against a fourth-order half-saint. With major success, he could be comparable to a ninth-order half-saint. Reaching perfection meant becoming a saint in the physical body.

Di Yi has only mastered the first stage of the Heavenly Demon Nine Revolutions Diagram to a minor degree. His physical body is comparable to a fifth-order half-saint. Combined with the strength of the Chaos God and Demon Body, he is not afraid of a thousand times the yang energy and can safely cultivate the ninth palm of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm.

After cultivating for ten days under the corpse of the Dragon God, the Saint Yuan Pill Qi within his body was completely refined, and he successfully broke through to the second-tier half-saint level in one go.

At this time, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm also made a breakthrough, successfully cultivating the Scale Transformation Dragon technique to a minor level, allowing him to transform his physical body into a chaotic flying dragon.

In just ten days, he mastered a high-grade ghost-level martial skill. Even if it was only a minor achievement, it was enough to shock the world's half-saints.

Once you've mastered the first twelve moves of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, the rest is just a matter of gradual, step-by-step practice.

After breaking through his palm technique, Di Yi then turned to cultivating the Hell King Claw, the Flowing Light Rainbow Escape Technique, the White Emperor Heavenly Pivot Sword Technique, and Sword Four...

Two months later, he stabilized his cultivation as a second-tier half-saint, took a third-grade Saint Essence Pill, and began refining the pill's energy to break through to the third-tier half-saint level.

Three months later, the pill energy of the Grade 3 Saint Essence Pill was completely refined, and Di Yi successfully stepped into the third-order half-saint realm.

Having broken through two realms in succession, he stopped taking Saint Essence Pills to improve his cultivation. In martial arts cultivation, the numbers three and nine are major hurdles. It is extremely difficult for a third-level half-saint to break through to the fourth-level half-saint. Even with a fourth-grade Saint Essence Pill, it is impossible to break through in a short period of time.

Moreover, his cultivation breakthrough was too fast, and he needed a period of time to settle down.

Just as Di Yi was about to continue cultivating Sword Four, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the World-Stabilizing Banner suddenly converged in one direction.

A five-clawed fire dragon soared into the sky, its body growing to hundreds of feet in size, breaking through from a fifth-tier superior savage beast to a sixth-tier savage beast in one fell swoop.

To Emperor Yi's surprise, in addition to the might of the Holy Dragon, the Five-Clawed Flame Dragon also released a faint divine power, which was quite strange.

Half an hour later, the Five-Clawed Flame Dragon successfully broke through to the next realm, stabilized its cultivation, and transformed into a red-robed human figure with dragon horns on its head. It landed in front of Emperor Yi and respectfully bowed to him, saying, "Greetings, Master."

Di Yi scrutinized him carefully and smiled, "You've been cultivating inside the World-Stabilizing Banner all this time. It seems you've obtained quite a fortuitous opportunity from the corpse of the Dragon God?"

Di Yan nodded in agreement, took out a divine bone jade book from his bosom, and handed it to Di Yi with both hands.

“I usually stay under the body of Senior Chenlong to cultivate. Several months ago, this bone book and a piece of dragon bone flew out from the ground and fell into my hands. I have already refined the dragon bone. I will offer the divine skill inheritance recorded in this bone book to my master.”

Di Yi took the bone book and carefully examined it. Even if a god dies, there will still be divine thoughts remaining in the world, containing all kinds of wonders.

Although the Five-Clawed Flame Dragon is not as good as the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon and the Five-Clawed Silver Dragon, it is still considered a superior bloodline among dragons with high potential. It is not too strange that it obtained the inheritance of the Dragon King.

"This is actually the legendary [Divine Dragon Secret Sect]! Although it's only a fragment, its value is immeasurable," Di Yi exclaimed, looking at the bone book in his hand.

The Divine Dragon Secret Sect is said to be a divine manual of the ancient dragon race, a technique on the same level as the six great books of Kunlun Realm. The Divine Dragon Half-Human Race's clan-protecting technique, the Sacred Dragon Scripture, and the Devouring Heaven Demon Dragon lineage's supreme technique, the Devouring Heaven Technique, both originated from the Divine Dragon Secret Sect. It is hailed as one of the two major sources of the inherited techniques of all dragon races in the world.

In the ancient times, there were many powerful beings who left behind a wealth of knowledge and skills. Divine beast races such as the dragon, the black tortoise, the Kunpeng, and the Suanni once enjoyed great glory and left behind a wealth of knowledge and skills that have been famous for thousands of years, having a profound influence on later generations of cultivators.

After a brief examination of Di Yan's condition, it was discovered that after refining a piece of the dragon bone from Chenlong, he could already be considered to possess a dragon body. In terms of physical strength alone, he was no weaker than those with a dark body or an innate extreme yang body. With such bloodline and physique, if he were placed in the Dragon Clan's sacred land, Ancestral Dragon Mountain, he would undoubtedly be nurtured with all his might by the old guys of the Dragon Clan, and he would certainly have the potential to become a Great Saint.

A mixed-blood dragon egg from the Fallen God Mountains has undergone several transformations to achieve what it has today. The opportunities and fortunes of this world are truly mysterious and extraordinary.

The cultivation of savage beasts is not as complicated as that of humans. Breaking through realms does not require Saint Essence Pills. It only requires refining rare and precious materials. For Di Yan, the best cultivation resource is the divine blood of the dragon. As long as he refines a large amount of divine blood, he can quickly improve his cultivation and further enhance his divine dragon body.

Emperor Yi allowed him to remain beneath the corpse of the Dragon God to cultivate, and having obtained the Dragon God Bone and the Dragon God Secret Sect, Emperor Yan was already considered the chosen successor of the Dragon God.

After settling Di Yan in, Di Yi began to cultivate the fourth chapter of the wordless sword manual.

Sword Four represents the Four Symbols, and there are four levels in total.

Different people have different understandings of the Four Symbols. The three patriarchs of Buddhism understand it as the emptiness of the four elements, the Taoist patriarch understands it as Taiyin, Taiyang, Shaoyin, and Shaoyang, and the fourth patriarch of Confucianism believes it to be the four arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

Among the savage beasts are the Four Symbols Divine Beasts, namely the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. The Taiji Dao branch, the Four Symbols Sect, has been studying this Dao in depth and has evolved the Four Symbols Sword Technique based on the Four Symbols Sword.

Di Yi cultivated the Mind Realm, and his understanding of the Four Symbols leaned more towards the Four Symbols of the Derivation Realm, namely Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind.

The power of the emanation realm is a path of creation, no weaker than the nine ancient paths.

Therefore, the four levels of Sword IV that he comprehended were also related to this.

"wind!"

"fire!"

The White Tiger Holy Sword danced, the wind fueled the fire, and the fire intensified the wind's power. In less than half a year, he had already cultivated Sword Four to the second level.

At this moment, the sword's momentum changed again, with a third variation emerging, shifting from ethereal to weighty, which is called "earth."

Two more months passed, and Di Yi, in one fell swoop, comprehended the fourth level of transformation, 'Water,' and cultivated Sword Four to its peak.

And the time had come for the Jiezi Banquet to be held.

This day is the ninth day of the ninth lunar month.

Outside the city of Shentai, a huge mountain of books, made of stacked scrolls, has suddenly appeared, reaching a height of a thousand feet.

It is extremely impressive to look at from a distance.

This is a special method used by the talented woman who created the sacred book of the Confucian patriarch, which is a manifestation of Confucianism and Taoism.

At the foot of the mountain, many cultivators can already be seen climbing.

Emperor Yi released Han Qiu, A Le, Ye Honglei, Zi Qian, Zi Yuan, Qingyi Star Envoy, and Zifeng Star Envoy from the World-Stabilizing Banner. Gazing at the Book Mountain, he chuckled and said, "After cultivating for so long, it's time for you to show your skills at the World Banquet. Don't worry too much, just show the prestige of the First-Class Hall of the Eastern Region Black Market."

"As ordered!"

With the help of Emperor Yi and the abundant resources within the World-Stabilizing Banner, the seven were eager to test their mettle against the contemporary prodigies of the Kunlun Realm.

After watching the seven people head towards the Book Mountain, Di Yi turned back into the Divine Platform City and did not go to the Book Mountain to attend the ceremony.

Above the mountain of books, there are four levels of seats: 18,000 seats for outstanding individuals, 3,000 seats for prodigies, 108 seats for kings, and the highest seat for world prodigies with nine seats.

The number of martial artists from the Fish-Dragon Realm who came from the Five Regions to attend the World Prince Banquet was more than a million, but only more than 20,000 were able to secure a place on the Mountain of Books in the end, making them extremely rare.

In particular, the nine seats of the world's children are on par with the position of the Holy Book Talented Woman, representing supreme status. It is foreseeable that those who sit in these nine positions today will soon become famous throughout the world.

At the foot of the mountain of books, Huang Yanchen arrived in the chariot of the heir of the Eastern Region Holy King's Mansion. She is not only a disciple of the Xuanji Sword Saint, a saint of the Eastern Region Holy Academy, but also one of the four heirs of the Eastern Region Holy King's Mansion.

Of course, Chen Tianpeng, one of the four heirs, died by Huang Shenyi's sword, leaving only three heirs of the Eastern Region Holy King's Mansion.

Along with Huang Yanchen, a young man emerged from the chariot; it was Lin Yue.

"Are you really going to keep pretending, Zhang... Lin Yue?"

Lin Yue was silent for a moment, then gripped the Void Sword in his hand and said, "I don't understand what Princess Yanchen is saying. Princess Yanchen, please climb the mountain. Today I will be your guard and help you ascend to the position of World Prince. Once you become World Prince, you will be the most likely successor to the Eastern Region Holy King's Mansion."

Huang Yanchen sighed softly. He was now completely certain that Lin Yue was Zhang Ruochen.

How could a sword prodigy whom one had only met briefly and a few times be willing to become one's bodyguard?

Moreover, besides Zhang Ruochen, who else would call her 'Princess Yanchen'? Why is he unwilling to admit it? Is it because he doesn't want to be a burden to her?

What is he afraid of?
With many people and eyes around at the foot of the mountain, Huang Yanchen did not forcefully expose Lin Yue's identity. She waited for the banquet to end before having a frank and open talk with him.
