"Who took the immortal monument? Give it back to this king!"
After the Immortal God King escaped from the seal, his first words were to demand the return of the Immortal Monument.
For thousands upon thousands of years, he had been suppressed by this magic weapon, and no one knew its power better than him. In his heyday, he was comparable to a vacuum-shattering powerhouse.
Although the main monument could suppress him, it didn't rely solely on its own strength. The fact that it could suppress him for so long with Changsheng Great Emperor's methods was enough to demonstrate the Immortal Monument's power.
What's more, during his years of suppression, the Immortal God King had been eroding the Lord's monument, nearly turning it into his own magic weapon. When Lucas suddenly appeared and took away the main monument, the Immortal God King was naturally unwilling to let it go.
"What a powerful magic weapon!"
Lucas held the Lord Monument in his hand as a burst of invigorating energy poured into it, unleashing the powerful force of the Five Elements.
The Immortal God King looked over and sneered. "In order to give this magic weapon the power to suppress me, Great Emperor Changsheng integrated an ancient treasure, the Mother of Five Elements, into the monument."
As he spoke, he suddenly stretched out his palm, transforming it into a massive hand to grab both Lucas and the main monument.
"This immortal monument has been cultivated by me for ten thousand years. Do you think that holding it makes it yours? Hand it over! For the sake of you helping me escape early, I'll grant you a decent way to die."
As the Immortal God King extended his giant hand, a powerful mental attack shot toward Lucas, attempting to shock and intimidate him.
"Oh really?"
Lucas was neither shocked nor angered. Instead, a smile appeared on his face.
He glanced at the Immortal God King with a playful expression as four more immortal monuments flew out from him, quickly resonating with the main monument.
BOOM!
The five immortal monuments met like oil meeting fire, unleashing an incomparably powerful momentum that displayed the majesty of the king of artifacts.
The Immortal God King's sky-covering hand was struck by the momentum of the Divine Artifact King, shattering into nothingness in an instant.
The Immortal God King stared at Lucas with an ugly expression and asked, "You actually obtained the other four immortal monuments? What a clever trick! Did you kill the other four god-tier kings?"
Lucas smiled and replied, "That's right! The other four god-tier kings are already on their way, and now it's your turn. Are you ready? I'm very interested in your flesh and blood."
A terrifying flame of immense heat spewed from Lucas's hand, instantly enveloping the Immortal God King, refining his body into red blood energy and absorbing it into Lucas's own body.
Puff puff puff!
A series of crisp sounds came from Lucas's body as he forcibly opened six orifices one after another. The blood energy of the Immortal God King filled these openings, developing 100 small acupuncture points in each of the six piercings.
Know everything!
Lucas's body turned to liquid, then reassembled, flexibly transforming into animals, plants, and inanimate objects. Ninety-nine essence points flew out of his body and escaped into the middle-earth Thousand World of the Great Thousand World.
"I'm only one step away from crushing the vacuum!"
After absorbing the Immortal God King's blood, Lucas sensed his own strength level and nodded with great satisfaction.
Then Lucas directed the remaining blood energy of the Immortal God King out from his body and into Xiao Chen's, helping him to condense his form and open up his acupuncture points.
"You haven't practiced the martial arts of the Yang God World, nor the soul skills of this world. I suggest you learn both. A strong body and soul will help you advance to Dou Di."
"Although you can refine the souls and flesh of the strong in this world to strengthen your own soul and body, this method of strengthening is far less effective than cultivating the exercises native to this world."
"While I have some of the Immortal God King's flesh and blood at hand, I'll help you condense your body so you can become a peak human immortal as soon as possible. You'll have to work hard for your next promotion."
Lucas's power, along with the blood energy of the Immortal God King, entered Xiao Chen's body, working together to open the acupoints and create small spaces in his body that could contain blood and true energy.
[CHAT GROUP]
Dongfang Yuechu: Group Leader, aren't you being too partial? The flesh and blood of the Immortal God King is so useful, why did you give it all to Xiao Chen?
Lucas: Stop making trouble! The flesh and blood of the Immortal God King cannot be refined by just anyone. Those who aren't strong enough to absorb it will be assimilated by the blood of the Immortal God King.
Dongfang Yuechu: Assimilated by blood?
Lucas: That's right! I've reached this level now. Every inch of my flesh and blood contains my own will. If others refine my flesh and blood and they aren't strong enough, they'll be reversed by me.
Zheng Qizi: Can't you wipe out the will in your blood?
Lucas: Of course! But in that case, the blood's value would be greatly reduced. If you blindly use the treasures of heaven and earth, you won't be able to cultivate a truly strong warrior. Confronting the will of the Immortal King can hone your spirit and improve your realm—that's the real use of its flesh and blood.
Zheng Qizi: What a pity! the others can't use such a good thing.
Lucas: Nothing to regret! Although they can't use the Immortal God King's flesh and blood, there are other ways to improve their strength.
Back in the outside world, Lucas glanced at the cultivating Xiao Chen, and with a sweep of his hand, he led Xiao Xuan into the void.
Xiao Xuan wondered, "Group Leader, where are we going?"
Lucas replied, "In the world of the Yang God, there's a place where all things are born, called the Place of Origin! It's the treasure land of cultivation in the Yang God world and the most suitable place to improve strength."
Xiao Xuan nodded, then suddenly noticed dots of sand outside with a power of time rushing through them. "What is that?" he couldn't help asking.
Lucas replied, "The river of time flowing with the sand of time is the only way to reach the Place of Origin. It's because of this river's existence that ordinary people cannot enter. Only those who are truly strong can access the land of origin."
It didn't take long for a floating continent filled with powerful energy to appear before Lucas—the Place of Origin.
[CHAT GROUP]
Zheng Qizi: This is the Place of Origin? Group Leader is right, this is indeed a treasured place for cultivation.
Xiao Xuan: What are these energies? They feel very familiar, much stronger than the energy of heaven and earth in the Dou Qi Continent.
Lucas: This is the source of invigorating energy, the energy that can evolve all things in the world. Are those who want to improve their strength ready? I'll bring you over!
Namikaze Minato: I'm ready!
Senju Tobirama: Just waiting for you to pick us up!
Dongfang Yuechu: Does every world have one?
Whitebeard: Should be!
Senju Hashirama: It's so boring being in the Traverser Space. Can I go back first?
Lucas: Of course! Remember to keep some of your Traverser coins—don't spend them all. I want to see if other people will inherit your Traverser wealth after using your Traverser Seals.
Uchiha Madara: After we go back, is it possible that our Traverser coins will be reset to zero?
Lucas: It's only a possibility, which is why I want to use you guys to verify it. It just so happens that I don't have enough Traverser Seals on hand. Those who don't want to continue being Traversers can hand over their Seals to others.
Uchiha Madara: I want to continue being a Traverser, but I don't want to waste seven days here. It's boring—is there no way to relieve our boredom?
Zheng Qizi: Cultivation! The Yang God World cultivates the soul's exercises, and we can use them even in the state of the dead.
Uchiha Madara: Good idea, send me the exercises.
Zheng Qizi: No way! To cultivate the soul, you must have images as an aid. Without visualizable images, text alone is useless. Ordinary images have no charm and cannot be used for visualization. Come to our world!
Han Fei: Not all methods of cultivating the soul require images as the object of visualization—at least the "Book of Changes" doesn't need this. Reading and resting the mind can also enhance the power of the soul, but it needs thunder tribulation to stimulate them.
Uchiha Madara: I read the Book of Changes. It's obscure and difficult to understand. At least I can't understand it, so I'd better go to the world of the Yang God!
Lucas: That's normal! You haven't studied classical Chinese, so how could you possibly understand the Book of Changes written in classical Chinese? Come visit the world of Yangshen! It's a different kind of practice, and I'll give you a supplementary lesson.
Back in the outside world, with a grand wave of Lucas's hand, a powerful force poured out, transforming the floating continent before him. The Land of Origin wasn't just a single suspended continent—there were numerous suspended continents densely arranged, hanging in the air like stars.
A huge stone tablet flew from Lucas's hands—the complete Immortal Monument. It suddenly exploded, transforming into 480 million runes of various shapes that densely covered the suspended continent.
Afterward, a powerful attraction erupted from these runes, frantically extracting Origin Qi from outside the Hanging Continent. The connection between the inside and outside of the Hanging Continent was isolated by runes, and a massive amount of Origin True Ki was injected into the continent's interior.
The concentration of Origin True Ki on the Hanging Continent increased constantly, first turning into a mist of water and finally condensing into liquid energy. Xiao Chen opened his mouth and inhaled a large amount of Origin Real Water, immediately feeling an explosion of energy within his body that rapidly increased his strength.
"All right!"
"This place has been transformed into a real paradise by me. If you want to become stronger, come here to practice!"
Lucas looked at the Hanging Continent he had transformed, nodded with great satisfaction, and spoke in the chat group with a smile.
[CHAT GROUP]
Dongfang Yuechu: Can such a big place accommodate many people practicing at once?
Senju Tobirama: How many people do you want to send there?
Dongfang Yuechu: I originally just wanted to send my two daughters to strengthen them, but now I've changed my mind. Group Leader, can I send a few of my subordinates to study?
Han Fei: Are you sure? If I remember correctly, the forces outside your circle have already been dealt with by the Group Leader. When common enemies disappear, former allies often transform into new enemies.
Han Fei: What's more, your subordinates may not be truly loyal to you. Your former eldest disciple Jin Renfeng is a living example. Are you sure the subordinates you send will continue to obey your orders after gaining strength?
Dongfang Yuechu said optimistically: Isn't the Group Leader still there? No problem. As long as they realize that the Group Leader is my backer, they won't betray me easily.
Han Fei suddenly said: You want to wave the tiger-skin flag and use Group Leader to strengthen your prestige? If that's the case, you can send those restless individuals over, and we can help you keep them in line.
Dongfang Yuechu smiled and said: That's fine! But I feel there shouldn't be any major turmoil in our world. Now that outside forces are gone, the biggest conflict is between humans and demons.
Dongfang Yuechu: Under my management, the Yiqi Dao League has begun trying to coexist peacefully with the demon clan. With the support of the third young leader of Aolaiguo and Tu Shanhonghong, our world has already moved toward peace.
Lucas: It's inevitable for the Fox Spirit World to become peaceful. After all, your world isn't war-oriented. Your world is like the world of Stealing Stars—love is the mainstream!
Senju Tobirama: Group Leader, can our subordinates be sent to study too? If so, we may need some preparation time.
Namikaze Minato: Yes, we need to choose carefully. If it's not too troublesome, Group Leader, could you bring our relatives and friends first?
Zheng Qizi said unhappily: Hey, hey, hey! I said, you people, can you not be so extreme? You come here to study but consume the energy of our Yang God world. Group Leader, I suggest not letting so many people come to the Place of Origin. It's a waste of resources.
Xiao Xuan: If your world is relatively stable, I don't recommend sending your subordinates over. If their strength increases, will it truly benefit your world?
Xiao Xuan: There may be some advantages, but the disadvantages are also obvious. Maybe they won't dare openly disagree with you because they fear the Group Leader, but their increased strength will also give them the means to secretly cause trouble.
Zheng Qizi: That's right! If your world is already relatively stable, don't overdo it.
