You were asked to assist Di Xin, but you made him the Human Emperor?

He first refined the Creation Jade Disk Fragment, as well as the Heavenly Origin Divine Blade and the Destruction Divine Blade.

With Deng Jiugong's current cultivation, even mid-grade Innate Spirit Treasures couldn't be fully refined by him; he could only refine some of the innate restrictions within them.

Whether it was the Creation Jade Disk Fragment or these two divine blades, Deng Jiugong had only refined some of their innate restrictions.

This way, when he activated these two divine blades, he could still unleash considerable power, and the Creation Jade Disk Fragment also amplified his enlightenment.

"Next, I'll cultivate the Mortal Scroll of the Vast Void Divine Blade Art!"

With a thought, Deng Jiugong took out the scroll and began to study it.

A moment later, Deng Jiugong felt the power of the divine blade art, as well as its difficulty.

"Time Dao Disk!"

He directly activated the Time Dao Disk, amplifying the power of time by a hundredfold.

Buzz!

With a thought, Deng Jiugong summoned the Creation Jade Disk Fragment.

Infinite creation divine light surged, showering infinite Dao principles and divine light. Deng Jiugong immediately felt his enlightenment speed increase by a hundredfold.

Originally, with the Time Dao Disk in hand, a hundredfold time amplification was equivalent to Deng Jiugong already having a hundredfold enlightenment speed.

Now, with the Creation Jade Disk Fragment's hundredfold enlightenment amplification, the increase in his enlightenment speed was not two hundredfold, but ten thousandfold.

This amplification was terrifying, an absolute peak amplification.

The Vast Void Divine Blade Art was incredibly difficult to cultivate. Fortunately, Deng Jiugong had a foundation in blade techniques, and he slowly gained some understanding, progressing step by step until he finally achieved success.

One day, Deng Jiugong felt that his blade techniques had undergone a transformation.

Every swing of his blade seemed to possess the power of a divine ability.

Especially with two blades in hand, they perfectly complemented the Vast Void Divine Blade Art, making its power unimaginably strong.

Deng Jiugong felt as if he could instantly kill a powerful beast like the four-clawed evil dragon.

Although his cultivation had not increased, his strength had improved significantly.

Buzz!

Snapping back to reality, Deng Jiugong noticed that the Crimson Blood Dragon Fruit had finally fully matured. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was dense, and it was ready to be picked.

With a raise of his hand, nine fruits appeared before Deng Jiugong.

"I'll take one first!"

Deng Jiugong murmured.

After consuming one Crimson Blood Dragon Fruit, an energy that felt incredibly terrifying exploded within Deng Jiugong's body.

Deng Jiugong's expression shook violently!

For him at this moment, the energy contained within a mid-grade Innate Spirit Root fruit was too terrifying.

He hastily circulated his cultivation technique, rapidly refining the energy that was about to go berserk within him.

Deng Jiugong's cultivation rapidly increased.

True Immortal Realm early stage!

True Immortal Realm middle stage!

True Immortal Realm late stage!

True Immortal Realm Perfection!

Soon, both his physical body cultivation and Nascent Soul cultivation had advanced by three minor realms due to this single fruit, reaching the level of True Immortal Realm Perfection.

Hoo!

After his cultivation increased, Deng Jiugong couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

The energy contained within this single fruit was too terrifying. Fortunately, the cultivation technique he practiced was of a high level, and he cultivated both his physical body and Nascent Soul, allowing him to refine it safely.

Otherwise, this single fruit alone might have been enough to kill him.

Deng Jiugong speculated that one Crimson Blood Dragon Fruit could allow a cultivator at the peak of the Mystic Immortal Realm to break through to the Golden Immortal Realm.

One could imagine the immense energy contained within this Crimson Blood Dragon Fruit.

It was no wonder that just one fruit caused Deng Jiugong's overall cultivation to advance by three levels.

However, with his cultivation reaching True Immortal Realm Perfection, Deng Jiugong already felt that his cultivation could not advance further in a short period.

At this moment, he felt as if he had eaten too much and needed time to digest it slowly.

Only after his cultivation stabilized could he continue to advance.

Finally, Deng Jiugong collected the Crimson Blood Dragon Fruit plant into his System space. With a movement, he left the island.

Chaoge City, Royal Palace!

In the Hall of Nine Chambers, Emperor Xin sat on his throne, looking at the military dispatch in his hand, his brow furrowed.

The dispatch contained nothing but daily troop drills.

Every so often, a military dispatch would arrive from the front lines.

For some time now, Xiqi and Great Shang had been in a state of near-constant ceasefire.

After Xiqi's elite forces were severely weakened last time, Jiang Ziya dared not launch a rash attack.

Meanwhile, Deng Jiugong merely ordered his generals to drill their troops daily, always ready for battle, but still did not deploy them.

However, Emperor Xin knew the reason Deng Jiugong delayed his deployment was his fear of the Chan Sect Immortals.

Just then, the Grand Tutor Shen Gongbao arrived.

"Grand Tutor, you arrive at a most opportune moment. How fares the matter I entrusted to you last time?" Emperor Xin asked.

Upon hearing this, Shen Gongbao couldn't help but laugh heartily and immediately said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I have invited Immortals from Nine Dragon Island to aid us in battle. We will surely be able to take Xiqi. I expect Deng Jiugong will soon send troops to attack Xiqi!"

Emperor Xin nodded and asked, "How skilled are these Immortals this time?"

"This time it is my Sect of Interception senior brother, Lu Yue. He is proficient in plague magic and possesses vast divine abilities!" Shen Gongbao replied.

"Excellent!" Emperor Xin nodded.

He presumed Deng Jiugong would now deploy his troops to attack Xiqi.

Until the Xiqi rebels were eliminated, the Great Shang's reign would never know peace.

At Three Mountains Pass, within Deng Jiugong's military camp.

At this moment, a Daoist priest, clad in a crimson robe, with a face like indigo and hair like cinnabar, a gaping maw, and fangs, his three eyes wide open, looked displeased.

This person was the Sect of Interception Immortal, Lu Yue.

"Where is Deng Jiugong? Why has he not come to see me?" Lu Yue demanded, his voice stern and his expression utterly displeased.

He had been invited by Shen Gongbao to assist Deng Jiugong in attacking Xiqi, but he had been here for several days and had yet to even meet Deng Jiugong.

"Esteemed Immortal, please be patient for a few more days. The Marshal is away on important business and has not yet returned!" Tailuan said. Though his expression was calm, he felt a sense of urgency.

Since Lu Yue's arrival, the Marshal had been away.

With Kong Xuan not proactively dispatching troops to attack Xiqi, Lu Yue could only wait.

After a few days of Tailuan's appeasement, Lu Yue was becoming increasingly restless.

Especially since Lu Yue's displeased demeanor suggested he was no good person, the soldiers in the camp were filled with dread and kept their distance.

If not for knowing that this person was here to help them, Tailuan would have mistaken him for an enemy.

As Deng Jiugong's advance officer, and with Kong Xuan, the deputy marshal, completely uninvolved, Tailuan had no choice but to step forward to placate Lu Yue.

"As Marshal, he is not in the camp and not leading troops into battle. What important business could be more crucial than conquering Xiqi?"

"Could Deng Jiugong have been scared away?"

Just then, four people walked in and said this.

It turned out these four were all Lu Yue's disciples, who had arrived a few days after him.

They had been in the camp for two days and found that the camp was merely drilling troops, with no intention of deploying them.
