NOVPUB"With such conditions, the lowest achievement after entering sainthood is reaching the second layer of Heaven!"
"That Beast of the Evil Emperor is indeed not weak, at the very least it can put up a fight. I’ve used the killing move with 10 drops of the Mysterious Turtle True Essence several times in a row, yet I’ve been unable to completely crush it. Possessing a Divine Seed can indeed allow my strength to soar within a short period of time."
Su Changkong nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
A Divine Seed is a cultivation seed of Divine Skills formed after a Martial Saint achieves their Divine Skills. It has infinite uses, can help one quickly enter sainthood, and can be forged into various Divine Artifacts, as well as enhance a martial artist’s combat power!
Without fully refining the Divine Seed and using it as a weapon, one is essentially holding a weakened version of a Divine Skill!
Typically, even some extraordinarily gifted individuals, who can rely on their own power to enter sainthood, will also seize a Divine Seed to strengthen their combat power, or like Wei Shengxin when facing danger, refine the seed to fully master a Divine Skill in a short time, so as to immediately enter sainthood without reaching the realm of a Martial Saint.
If one is already a Martial Saint at the first layer of Heaven, then it is possible to reach the realm of the second layer of Heaven!
Therefore, among the Martial Saints of the Ancient Holy Country, when they are of the same level, unless there is a huge gap in strength, it is very difficult for one to kill the other!
Su Changkong made up his mind, deciding to refine a part of it to master the Divine Seed of the Beast of the Evil Emperor and enhance his fighting strength!
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man looked on with envy. Having strength is fundamental; with strength, even a Divine Seed, which is hard for outsiders to even glance at, can be obtained!
"Brother Blade, feel free to come look for this old man at Corpse-Burying Mountain whenever you have a matter."
After settling the matter, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man and Ji Xuexiao both took their leave one after another.
"Take care," Su Changkong nodded his head.
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man had helped Su Changkong find Wei Shengxin, while Ji Xuexiao was brought in by Su Changkong as a precaution, both having witnessed Su Changkong’s astonishing strength!
Ji Xuexiao and the Heavenly Corpse Old Man both departed.
Su Changkong did not delay and began rapidly sweeping through the Evil Mountain Range.
He bundled up every Spirit Grass, taking them with him, and all the Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Veins was also condensed into Innate Qi by the Guiding Technique; Su Changkong planned to refine them slowly after returning to the Spirit Taoist Sect.
The several dozens of Spirit Veins, both large and small, together had an enormous amount of nearly ten thousand strands of Innate Qi!
Having done all this, Su Changkong did not stay long, he set off and returned to the Spirit Taoist Sect.
As the sky gradually brightened, peace returned to the Evil Mountain Range. Only a few people knew that Wei Shengxin, the Alliance Hierarch of the Sacred Heart Alliance, had entered sainthood here, only to be slain on the spot by Su Changkong. This news, if spread, would astonish many Martial Saints!
"I successfully chopped down Wei Shengxin... but from his words, he could have known my identity, most likely having had contact with Qin Miesheng. That old monster isn’t dead, and he must have enticed Wei Shengxin to act against me, even telling him that I was at the Spirit Taoist Sect."
Upon returning to the Spirit Taoist Sect, Su Changkong was deep in thought.
At that time, in his rage, Wei Shengxin had threatened to exterminate the Spirit Taoist Sect, which clearly showed that he knew of his whereabouts, and this was likely because Qin Miesheng had sought out Wei Shengxin.
But Wei Shengxin didn’t come looking for Su Changkong immediately, probably because he had some reservations and was preparing to make his move after breaking through successfully. However, what he didn’t expect was for Su Changkong to take the fight to his doorstep, leaving him no time to break through, and instead got himself slain.
Qin Miesheng had not come knocking again, which implies he must have encountered some problems himself, knowing that he can’t deal with Su Changkong.
However, Su Changkong was not careless; Qin Miesheng was too strange, not of the human race, and was likely a true Demon Monster!
Now that Qin Miesheng hadn’t made a move, but once he thinks the time is right, he will certainly not let go of Su Changkong, whom he sees as an enemy. Su Changkong must increase his strength!
"First, recover the Mysterious Turtle True Essence used this time and refine both the Innate Qi and the Divine Seed."
Su Changkong controlled his emotions, knowing that overthinking was pointless. The most important thing was to increase his strength; as long as he was strong enough, he could face any challenge head-on.
By refining and mastering the Divine Seed of the Beast of the Evil Emperor, he would definitely enhance his strength substantially, allowing him to use weakened versions of Divine Skills like Ji Xuexiao and Wei Shengxin did.
In the back mountains of the Spirit Taoist Sect, Su Changkong began refining the Divine Seed of the Beast of the Evil Emperor. There was no need for complete refinement; partially refining it would suffice, and if he no longer needed it or found a better Divine Seed, he could forcibly separate it! It would cause certain harm to himself, but it would be within a bearable range!
Sigh!
The dark Divine Seed of the Beast of the Evil Emperor entered Su Changkong’s body, taking root in his heart region and, as it was gradually refined, a connection slowly began to form between Su Changkong and it.
Su Changkong witnessed a peculiar scene.
In the dark sea, an octopus-like behemoth was slowly floating. Its massive size meant that a single tentacle could be thousands of kilometers long, and its colossal body resembled a small island.
Wherever the beast traveled, the sea around it would be tainted black by its power. Any living creature that got too close would dissolve into its food, turning into pure energy and merging into its body.
"Is this a True Beast? Judging by the looks of it, the Evil Emperor must have encountered a real True Beast back in the day, and even fought with it. He gained insights, elevated his cultivation technique to the level of Divine Skills, and thus entered sainthood!"
Su Changkong realized that this was indeed a True Beast.
True Beasts have been extinct, a rare encounter in the territories of the Great Flame Empire for thousands of years!
But throughout the long history, there have been those who encountered True Beasts and even survived great disasters. The Evil Emperor was one of them.
"If I could encounter a True Beast related to the Five Animal Frolics and fight it, my Five Animal Frolics might be able to reach a new level of understanding, advancing to the level of Divine Skills, condensing a Divine Seed, and thus entering sainthood."
