You were tasked with assisting Di Xin, and you turned him into a Human Emperor?

Kong Xuan's actions were driven by his fear of the Saints, a fact Deng Jiugong could only understand, not agree with.

Without courage, how could one carve out their own world!

However, Deng Jiugong could do nothing about Kong Xuan's decision. Their strength was too different, and it wasn't as if even Juliusun dared to kill Kong Xuan.

If Kong Xuan had truly killed Juliusun, it would have only hastened the Saints' intervention.

Deng Jiugong's current cultivation was too low. With Kong Xuan around, at the very least, Jiang Ziya wouldn't dare to act rashly, so Deng Jiugong had to improve his strength as quickly as possible.

Returning to the Marshal's Mansion, Deng Jiugong began to take stock of his gains from this battle.

His harvest from this fight was considerable.

First, there was Juliusun's Immortal Binding Rope, and a gourd of Elixirs.

Next, there were some System rewards.

He also obtained three Innate Spirit Fruits, a Five Elements Great Escape Divine Ability Jade Slip, seven million Great Dao Merit, a treasure map, and his cultivation improved by two minor realms.

These gains were exceptionally significant!

Therefore, after returning to his Marshal's Mansion, Deng Jiugong went straight into seclusion.

"I'll improve my foundation first!"

With a thought, Deng Jiugong first took out the Time Dao Disk.

This Time Dao Disk was a rare treasure that not only accelerated Deng Jiugong's cultivation but could also conceal heavenly secrets, making it an extraordinary item.

As such, even Kong Xuan couldn't sense the accelerated time around Deng Jiugong while he cultivated.

After all, the laws of time were profound, and with Deng Jiugong's cultivation, it was impossible for him to grasp them.

If Kong Xuan sensed the time acceleration during his cultivation, he would likely come to investigate the reason.

Without further hesitation!

Deng Jiugong directly activated the Time Dao Disk, and a hundredfold increase in the flow of time suddenly enveloped him.

Buzz!

With a thought, Deng Jiugong drew one million Great Dao Merit into his body and began to refine it. His foundation started to rapidly improve.

After refining all one million Great Dao Merit, his foundation finally reached the level of a nascent Innate Demon God.

A nascent Innate Demon God foundation was already considered quite good in the Primordial Era.

It greatly increased his comprehension and boosted his potential!

However, Deng Jiugong's foundation could still be improved.

He once again drew Great Dao Merit into his body, continuing to enhance his foundation.

This time, he consumed five million Great Dao Merit in quick succession, finally raising his foundation to the intermediate Innate Demon God level.

An intermediate Innate Demon God foundation was already considered a relatively solid foundation.

Improving his foundation increased his comprehension and the speed of his enlightenment. In a sense, it was an improvement of his future potential. Deng Jiugong had essentially used Great Dao Merit to force his foundation to the intermediate Innate Demon God level.

The improvement of his foundation not only increased Deng Jiugong's potential but also made his enlightenment speed far faster than before.

It could be said that although Deng Jiugong's current cultivation was only at the mid-Heavenly Immortal Realm, his speed of enlightenment was comparable to that of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

This was the immense benefit of improving one's foundation.

With the amplification of a hundredfold time flow, Deng Jiugong's speed of enlightenment was truly remarkable.

"Next, I'll improve my cultivation!"

With a thought, Deng Jiugong took out the three Innate Spirit Fruits he had obtained.

The System had not provided specific names for these Innate Spirit Fruits.

However, these three Innate Spirit Fruits were different: one was an apple, one was a persimmon, and one was an orange!

But these three fruits were not ordinary fruits; they contained innate spiritual energy.

Just by smelling them, Deng Jiugong felt an incomparably comfortable sensation.

He instinctively felt that these Innate Spirit Fruits would be of great benefit to his cultivation of the Pangu Divine Art Mortal Scroll.

"Consume!"

With a thought, Deng Jiugong consumed one of the fruits.

Buzz!

As soon as he consumed it, a terrifying energy erupted within his body, causing Deng Jiugong's expression to tremble. He hurriedly circulated his cultivation technique to refine it.

After refining all three spirit fruits, Deng Jiugong's physical body cultivation had reached the early True Immortal Realm.

This effect was truly amazing!

Cultivating the Pangu Divine Art did not mean that physical body cultivation and Nascent Soul cultivation advanced simultaneously.

It was like the Three Pure Ones, who primarily cultivated their Nascent Souls, and the Witch Clan, who specialized in cultivating their physical bodies.

These were two different cultivation systems.

If cultivating the Nascent Soul and physical body simultaneously, it must be done one after the other.

At this moment, Deng Jiugong's physical body cultivation had reached the early stage of the True Immortal Realm, and his Nascent Soul cultivation naturally could not fall behind.

Fortunately, he still had a gourd of Elixirs.

These were obtained by Kong Xuan from Tu Xingsun earlier and given to him. They were perfect for improving his Nascent Soul cultivation now.

He opened the lid, and there were quite a few Elixirs inside.

The quality of these Elixirs was not high, far inferior to the renowned Nine Revolutions Golden Elixirs of the Primordial Era.

However, for Deng Jiugong to use these Elixirs to improve his Nascent Soul cultivation, they were sufficient.

The effects of these Elixirs were not singular; they could be used for healing, restoring mana, and also for increasing cultivation.

Previously, when Deng Jiugong and Deng Chanyu were injured, Tu Xingsun had taken one out, dissolved it in water, and only then dared to let them consume it for healing.

After all, Deng Jiugong and Deng Chanyu were mortals at the time and could not withstand even a single Elixir. Consuming one rashly might have caused them to explode and die.

However, Deng Jiugong now had no such worries. He directly took out several and consumed them.

Buzz!

As the Elixirs entered his body, Deng Jiugong quickly circulated his divine art, refining them and channeling their energy into his Nascent Soul to enhance its cultivation.

Only when Deng Jiugong's Nascent Soul cultivation also reached the early stage of the True Immortal Realm did he finally stop.

"There aren't many Elixirs left!"

Deng Jiugong sighed.

If he had sufficient cultivation resources, with his foundation as a mid-tier innate demon god, his cultivation could probably have increased further.

However, the advancement of cultivation required a gradual process, slow digestion, and one could not become a fatty overnight.

Even so, Deng Jiugong's strength had greatly increased again.

Deng Jiugong kept the remaining Elixirs.

After all, he had a family to support and needed to leave some behind!

"Next, I will cultivate divine abilities!"

With a thought, Deng Jiugong took out the Five Elements Great Escape jade slip.

He had already cultivated the Dragon Subduing Tiger Subduing divine ability to Minor Accomplishment, and this divine ability was a power amplification technique.

As for the Five Elements Great Escape divine ability, it was also one of the thirty-six Heavenly Dipper techniques, a great divine ability that focused on speed.

With the amplification of a power divine ability, what Deng Jiugong lacked was a speed amplification divine ability.

Now, with the Five Elements Great Escape divine ability, it was perfect for comprehension.

Comprehending divine abilities was incredibly difficult. Even at the True Immortal Realm, with his foundation reaching the level of a mid-tier innate demon god, Deng Jiugong's speed of comprehending divine abilities was still slow.

Fortunately, he still had Great Dao Merit!

Buzz!

He channeled the Great Dao Merit into his body, and Deng Jiugong's comprehension speed suddenly increased significantly.

Soon, he directly bypassed Initiation and used Great Dao Merit to forcefully push the Five Elements Great Escape divine ability to the Minor Accomplishment realm.

"This time, only three hundred thousand Great Dao Merit was consumed!"

Deng Jiugong murmured.

The improvement in his foundation allowed him to comprehend the Five Elements Great Escape and Dragon Subduing Tiger Subduing to the same level, saving some Great Dao Merit!

An improved foundation would increase his speed of enlightenment.

This was the benefit brought by the enhancement of his foundation!

"Finally, refine the Immortal Binding Rope!"
