After the great battle, Deng Jiugong returned to his tent and went into seclusion again.
Deng Jiugong was very excited about obtaining the Taixu Blind Box.
"Open the Taixu Blind Box!"
Deng Jiugong commanded.
"Ding dong, the Taixu Blind Box has been opened. The host has obtained the Vast Void Divine Blade Art Immortal Scroll!"
Upon hearing this, Deng Jiugong's expression froze.
"This!!!"
With a slight spiritual sense, Deng Jiugong discovered that the Vast Void Divine Blade Art Immortal Scroll was even more profound than the mortal scroll.
Moreover, this was a true divine blade technique specifically for Immortals!
The Vast Void Divine Blade Art Immortal Scroll had a total of six levels!
The first level could be cultivated in the Mystic Immortal Realm, and if one cultivated to the highest sixth level, they could actually slay a Saint!
This was truly amazing!
"Begin cultivation!"
Deng Jiugong activated the Time Dao Disk and urged the Creation Jade Disk Fragment, beginning to comprehend.
The more he comprehended, the more excited Deng Jiugong became.
This immortal scroll was much more profound than the mortal scroll, and its power was naturally even greater!
If he could fully comprehend the first level, Deng Jiugong's strength would increase significantly!
However, time was pressing. Even with the Time Dao Disk and the Creation Jade Disk Fragment, Deng Jiugong might not be able to master it in a short period.
Fortunately, he still had Great Dao Merit!
Buzz!
With a thought, Deng Jiugong directly consumed five hundred thousand points of Great Dao Merit to aid his cultivation.
What was originally an incredibly complex first level of the Vast Void Divine Blade Art became infinitely simpler for him.
Soon, Deng Jiugong mastered the first level of the Vast Void Divine Blade Art Immortal Scroll.
At this moment, Deng Jiugong felt that he could defeat a Golden Immortal Realm expert on his own!
"Marshal, the Xiqi general Yang Jian is challenging us outside!"
Just then, Tailuan reported.
"Yang Jian!"
Deng Jiugong murmured.
To Deng Jiugong at this moment, Yang Jian's strength was unfathomable.
Yang Jian was the strongest among Xiqi's generals. He was a human-god hybrid and almost the strongest among the third generation disciples of the Chan Sect. He cultivated the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts and was the most difficult to deal with.
With his current strength, he would likely struggle to deal with Yang Jian.
As for his own generals, they were only at the Earth Immortal Realm, far too weak.
Lu Yue's disciples were all at the Mystic Immortal Realm; sending them out would be no different from sending them to their deaths.
The only ones who could come were Lu Yue and Kong Xuan.
Kong Xuan's strength could not be revealed too early. As for Lu Yue, there were two Grand Unity Golden Immortals constantly watching him, making it difficult to deploy him.
This left Deng Jiugong in a dilemma!
"Ding dong, detecting the host's current predicament, God-Tier Options have been activated!"
"Option 1: Raise a white flag and receive the Pangu Divine Art Immortal Scroll as a reward!"
"Option 2: Deploy your subordinate Kong Xuan and receive one million Great Dao Merit as a reward!"
Just then, the System's notification chimed in Deng Jiugong's mind.
"This!!!"
Both options offered rewards!
However, it seemed he could not choose both.
Furthermore, deploying Kong Xuan might accelerate the evolution of the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, which had many drawbacks. Moreover, the reward was relatively small. Deng Jiugong had already accumulated ten million points of Great Dao Merit, so this one million points were not that important anymore.
As for the first option, the Pangu Divine Art Immortal Scroll, it made Deng Jiugong's heart filled with anticipation.
He absolutely had to obtain this.
With the Pangu Divine Art Mortal Scroll, he could at most cultivate to the Perfection of the Mystic Immortal Realm.
This immortal scroll, however, could allow him to advance to higher realms!
"Choose Option 1!"
Deng Jiugong thought to himself.
This way, he could happily raise the white flag without any losses!
"Ding dong, the host has made a choice and obtained the Pangu Divine Art Immortal Scroll!"
Without immediately checking the contents of the Pangu Divine Art Immortal Scroll, Deng Jiugong looked at Tailuan and said.
"Raise the white flag!"
Upon hearing this, Tailuan's expression froze.
"Marshal, we have been continuously defeating Xiqi's generals, and our army's morale is soaring. Wouldn't it be better to strike Xiqi's spirit while we're on a winning streak?"
"If we raise the white flag!!!"
Tailuan was confused.
He felt as though it would dampen their own morale.
"Tailuan, you still have a lot to learn from me about the art of war!"
"A few victories mean nothing. We can afford to lose a hundred times, but we must absolutely win the last battle."
"Yang Jian's strength is considerable, and no general in our camp can match him. If we lose the final battle, all our previous victories will be for naught!"
Deng Jiugong said slowly.
"Tailuan understands!"
As his voice fell, Tailuan slowly retreated.
In fact, before he came, he had met Kong Xuan.
Kong Xuan had said that the Marshal would not send out any generals this time, and Tailuan hadn't believed him.
Now, he finally understood why the Marshal valued Kong Xuan so highly.
Had Kong Xuan become the Marshal's confidant!
This made Tailuan feel inexplicably jealous.
He was indeed still the vanguard, but Kong Xuan, a newcomer, had already become the deputy marshal.
Fortunately, Deng Jiugong's son, Deng Xiu, was still his deputy vanguard, which brought Tailuan some comfort.
However, Marshal Deng was a man of integrity and would not deliberately promote Deng Xiu to the position of vanguard just because he was the Marshal's son. He would still determine official positions based on strength.
After Tailuan left, he ordered someone to raise the white flag!
Seeing the white flag, Yang Jian had no choice but to retreat.
Xiqi!
"Deng Jiugong actually raised the white flag. How outrageous!"
Jiang Ziya's expression turned grim.
He had finally brought out his trump card, Yang Jian, only for Deng Jiugong to refuse the challenge.
"Uncle-Master, Deng Jiugong must be afraid of Yang Jian. Why don't you let this disciple go and challenge him!"
Tu Xingsun said.
Having been castrated by Deng Jiugong's son, Deng Xiu, Tu Xingsun harbored immense grievances.
He could not avenge his great shame and could not swallow this bitter pill.
Now, even though he was no longer a local deity, he had become a eunuch, and naturally, he had given up any thoughts of Deng Chanyu.
Tu Xingsun's only thought was to seek revenge.
His hatred for Deng Jiugong was even stronger than his hatred for Deng Xiu.
If Deng Jiugong hadn't gone back on his word and married Deng Chanyu to him, how could so many things have happened?
"Nephew! Although your injuries have healed and your strength has improved, since Deng Jiugong has raised the white flag, we must wait at least three days!"
