Jiang Ziya said helplessly.
The truce plaque wasn't an absolute defensive wall. It had a time limit.
Otherwise, if the other side kept the truce plaque up forever, wouldn't they be powerless to do anything?
"If they haven't taken down the truce plaque after three days, we can launch a full assault."
"Rest assured, Nephew. We'll keep a close eye on the movements in Tang Camp. Anyone who goes to request reinforcements will be killed on the spot!"
Samantabhadra said.
Hearing this, Tu Xingsun and the others nodded.
Once the three days were up, they'd see what else Deng Jiugong could do!
Inside Tang Camp!
Deng Jiugong had gone into seclusion. When the soldiers in camp learned that their side had raised the truce plaque, they couldn't help but panic.
After all, raising the truce plaque meant showing weakness to the enemy!
Their side clearly had an Immortal from the Interception Sect helping them, and they'd been winning battle after battle. Yet Marshal Deng had still ordered the truce plaque raised. It was hard not to wonder why.
Could there be some powerful being in Xiqi that their side couldn't withstand?
Deng Jiugong paid no heed to the rumors spreading through the army and focused on his seclusion.
In truth, he had very little time left.
How much stronger he could get over the next few days was anyone's guess. He could only improve as much as possible.
If all else failed, he could only send Kong Xuan into battle—or withdraw his troops!
For now, Deng Jiugong couldn't consider withdrawing.
After all, as long as they were on this battlefield and the two sides were fighting, the system had the greatest chance of activating God-Tier Options. That was how he'd get the most rewards!
He first used his divine sense to examine the Pangu Divine Art Immortal Scroll, and his expression changed in astonishment.
To his delight, Deng Jiugong discovered that the Pangu Divine Art Immortal Scroll had six stages of cultivation!
The first stage corresponded to the Mystic Immortal Realm, while the Pangu Divine Art Mortal Scroll was actually a simplified version of the first stage of the Immortal Scroll!
The second stage corresponded to the Golden Immortal Realm!
The third stage corresponded to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm!
The fourth stage corresponded to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm!
The fifth stage corresponded to the Primordial Golden Immortal Realm!
The sixth stage corresponded to the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm!
Of course, in the current Primordial World, there might be very few Primordial Golden Immortals—or none at all!
During the Witch-Demon Calamity, Hongjun had delivered three lectures at Purple Heavens Palace. After he preached the Dao, nearly all the Quasi-Saints in the Primordial World practiced the Slaying Three Corpses method.
As for the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm, neither Hongjun nor the Six Saints of the Primordial World were Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortals. They could only be called Heavenly Dao Saints of the Primordial World.
In the Primordial World, Heavenly Dao Saints and Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortals might wield power on the same level, but their power could also differ.
And Hongjun had Merged with Dao, becoming the Dao Ancestor of Heavenly Dao!
In other words, if Deng Jiugong cultivated the Pangu Divine Art Immortal Scroll to the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm, he would possess the strength of a Saint.
"There are still so many major realms to break through!"
Deng Jiugong felt an intense sense of urgency.
Kong Xuan's power was probably at the fifth stage. Even during this Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, that still wouldn't be enough to change anything.
He still had a long way to go!
Deng Jiugong didn't dare waste a moment. He began cultivating in earnest.
He activated the Time Dao Disk and brought out the Creation Jade Disk Fragment.
Then he began cultivating the Pangu Divine Art!
The power of the Pangu Divine Art Mortal Scroll gathered inside him. Deng Jiugong tried to cultivate the first stage of the Immortal Scroll, but soon discovered to his shock that he couldn't.
It could be said that Deng Jiugong was now cultivating the true, complete Pangu Divine Art, which included both the Nine Revolutions Profound Art and the Nine Revolutions Origin Art.
Legend had it that only the Witch Clan could cultivate the Nine Revolutions Profound Art. In other words, one had to possess the Pangu Bloodline.
As for the Nine Revolutions Origin Art, Deng Jiugong didn't know why the Three Pure Ones hadn't cultivated the true version of it. It was as if they'd only managed to cultivate a simplified version.
Or perhaps the Pangu inheritance they'd received was incomplete?
But Deng Jiugong now had a chance to cultivate it.
"Ancestral Witch blood essence!"
With a thought, the drop of Ancestral Witch blood essence he'd obtained earlier appeared before Deng Jiugong. He swallowed it at once.
After taking the Ancestral Witch blood essence, Deng Jiugong began refining it.
A single drop of Ancestral Witch blood essence contained a considerable amount of energy.
At the very least, with his cultivation at the early Mystic Immortal Realm, it would be enough to greatly increase his strength.
But the refinement was far too slow, and Deng Jiugong didn't dare waste any time.
Hum!
With a thought, Deng Jiugong used five hundred thousand points of Great Dao Merit to speed up the refinement!
As the Ancestral Witch blood essence burst open inside him, Deng Jiugong's power rose at a terrifying rate.
However, the Ancestral Witch blood essence could only strengthen his physical body.
Before long, the power of his bloodline began to grow stronger. The Ancestral Witches possessed the Pangu Bloodline, which meant Deng Jiugong now had the Pangu Bloodline within him as well.
Hum!
At some point, without even realizing it, Deng Jiugong completely fused the Pangu Divine Art Mortal Scroll and truly cultivated the first stage of the Pangu Divine Art.
His physical strength continued to rise, stopping only when it reached the early Golden Immortal Realm.
Deng Jiugong could feel that his body was far stronger than before.
Although his primordial spirit hadn't improved, his physical body had reached the Golden Immortal Realm. It was now imperishable, and the Nine Revolutions Profound Art had truly advanced to the second stage.
"So this is the power of the Golden Immortal Realm!"
Deng Jiugong murmured.
Earlier, when he'd fought Nezha and Lei Zhenzi, his twin blades and the Vast Void Divine Blade Art had let him put up a decent fight.
But now that he'd truly reached the Golden Immortal Realm, Deng Jiugong felt more than ever that the third-generation disciples of the Chan Sect had cultivation as flimsy as tofu.
At this point, he could probably blow apart those so-called Golden Immortal Realm experts with a single punch.
"Open my status panel!"
Deng Jiugong spoke.
Status Panel! Name: Deng Jiugong Cultivation Art: Pangu Divine Art (Immortal Scroll) Cultivation: Primordial Spirit—early Mystic Immortal Realm; physical body—early Golden Immortal Realm! Bloodline: Intermediate Innate Demon God Treasures: Creation Jade Disk Fragment, Immortal Binding Rope, Crimson Copper Saber Divine Blade Slot: Heavenly Origin Divine Blade, Destruction Divine Blade, Vast Void Divine Blade Art (Immortal Scroll) Rare Treasure: Time Dao Disk Divine Abilities: Dragon Subduing Tiger Subduing (Minor Accomplishment), Five Elements Great Escape (Minor Accomplishment) Spiritual Roots: seven Crimson Blood Dragon Fruits Great Dao Merit: ten million points! Other Treasures: Dragon-Binding Stake (Seven Treasures Golden Lotus), twin swords, whip, halberd, spear, Amrita Vase, Mighty Iron Cudgel, Wugou Sword, and others!
Looking at his status panel, Deng Jiugong felt somewhat reassured!
His strength was increasing incredibly quickly, practically soaring.
At this point, with his many treasures and his Golden Immortal Realm physical cultivation, Deng Jiugong was definitely invincible below the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm.
Moreover, he'd held back during his earlier battle with Nezha and Lei Zhenzi. He'd been worried that a powerful expert might suddenly arrive to support them and catch him off guard.
He'd kept his Dragon Subduing Tiger Subduing divine ability and Immortal Binding Rope in reserve!
