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

With a thought, he activated the Time Dao Disk, boosting his own time flow by a hundredfold, and brought out the Creation Jade Disk Fragment to enhance his enlightenment speed.

Immediately, Deng Jiugong consumed an Innate Spirit Fruit!

Then, he circulated the Pangu Divine Art and began to refine it.

As Deng Jiugong refined this Innate Spirit Fruit, the mana within his body rapidly increased.

After completely refining the Innate Spirit Fruit, Deng Jiugong's Nascent Soul cultivation also advanced to the late stage of the Mystic Immortal Realm.

"Crimson Blood Dragon Fruit!"

At this moment, Deng Jiugong took out the Crimson Blood Dragon Fruits he had obtained previously.

There were nine Crimson Blood Dragon Fruits in total. He had refined two before, leaving seven. Deng Jiugong consumed and refined them one by one.

After an unknown amount of time, Deng Jiugong had completely refined all seven Crimson Blood Dragon Fruits. At this point, Deng Jiugong's Nascent Soul cultivation had reached the early stage of the Golden Immortal Realm.

"This is the mana of the Golden Immortal Realm!"

With a raise of his hand, infinite mana surged, far more powerful than before.

It was also because Deng Jiugong cultivated the Pangu Divine Art that the amount of mana in his body was much more abundant than cultivators of the same realm.

Now, with his Vast Void Divine Blade Art, he was confident he could easily defeat Yang Jian.

Golden Immortal, with its immortal intent, lifespan no longer held any meaning for him!

Having reached the Golden Immortal Realm, Deng Jiugong only needed to consider how to become stronger quickly.

Furthermore, the Golden Immortal Realm allowed one to begin touching upon laws. With a deep foundation, it was possible to comprehend the profound mysteries of laws.

Once he comprehended even a sliver of the profound mysteries of laws, Deng Jiugong's strength would increase significantly.

Therefore, Deng Jiugong began to sense the Creation Jade Disk Fragment, intending to comprehend the profound mysteries of laws recorded on it.

Xiqi!

After Deng Jiugong retreated his troops, Jiang Ziya's expression was terribly grim.

It could be said that the Great Shang army's attack on Xiqi this time had caused Xiqi to suffer heavy losses.

Not only did they lose tens of thousands of soldiers, but they also lost three generals.

Xiqi's vital energy was severely damaged in this battle. Even the surviving soldiers were mostly injured.

Originally, after retreating into Xiqi City, Jiang Ziya planned to hold Xiqi firmly and defend the city to the death, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

He never expected that when the Shang army had a huge advantage, Deng Jiugong would not launch a strong attack and would instead lead the Shang army to withdraw?

"What exactly is Deng Jiugong planning?"

Jiang Ziya gritted his teeth.

It seemed Deng Jiugong never pursued his victories!

Originally, if Deng Jiugong had attacked Xiqi City forcefully, by the time Xiqi's reinforcements arrived, it would have been possible to completely annihilate Deng Jiugong's army. If he could annex the army under Deng Jiugong's command, then they could consider marching towards Chaoge!

But who would have thought that Deng Jiugong would not only refrain from attacking but actually withdraw his troops!

"Deng Jiugong has Lu Yue assisting him, what a pity we couldn't kill Deng Jiugong this time!"

Manjushri Guangfa Heavenly Venerate said with a dark expression.

"Deng Jiugong killed our disciples and stole our Magic Treasures. We won't be able to quell our hatred if we don't kill this man!"

Samantabhadra gritted his teeth, wishing he could tear Deng Jiugong to shreds.

Xiqi suffered heavy losses in this battle, with tens of thousands of soldiers dead. Ji Fa's face was grim, and his heart was heavy as he said:

"Deng Jiugong is a great calamity for our Xiqi, and he has the assistance of the Sect of Interception Immortals. How can we capture him?"

From the current situation, if they couldn't capture Deng Jiugong, they wouldn't be able to reach Chaoge City at all.

"King Wu, please rest assured. The Great Shang's fate is coming to an end, and Deng Jiugong will surely be defeated. In the next battle, we only need to find a way to capture that Lu Yue, and Deng Jiugong will undoubtedly be defeated!" Jiang Ziya said.

Hearing this, Ji Fa nodded.

Dealing with the Sect of Interception Immortals could only rely on the Chan Sect Immortals!

Chaoge City!

The Royal Palace, Nine Chambers Hall.

Emperor Xin sat on his throne, looking at the military dispatches from the front lines with great joy.

"Good, good, good!"

Emperor Xin said "good" repeatedly.

This time, Deng Jiugong led the army to attack Xiqi, killing three enemy generals and tens of thousands of soldiers, achieving a great victory.

"Deng Jiugong is so capable, this King will surely reward him."

Emperor Xin laughed heartily and recounted what was written in the letter one by one.

Originally, after Grand Tutor Wen died, Emperor Xin was somewhat disheartened. Deng Jiugong rekindled hope in his heart.

Upon hearing this, the many ministers below looked pleased.

It was indeed good news!

To be frank, the Great Shang's realm was in peril. The ministers lived in constant fear, dreading any bad news from the front lines.

Last time, Deng Jiugong achieved a great victory. This time, another victory was truly tremendous news.

"My esteemed ministers, how should this king reward Deng Jiugong?"

Emperor Xin looked at the ministers below and asked.

Upon hearing this, the many ministers below began to whisper amongst themselves.

After a moment, they had an idea. One minister spoke.

"Your Majesty, you previously said that if Marshal Deng could take Xiqi, he would be enfeoffed as Grand Tutor!"

"The position of Grand Tutor of Great Shang has been vacant since Grand Tutor Wen's demise. Why not enfeoff Deng Jiugong as our Great Shang's Grand Tutor!"

The minister below proposed.

"This might not be appropriate!"

At this moment, Fei Zhong spoke.

"Minister Fei, what do you find inappropriate?"

Emperor Xin asked.

"Your Majesty did indeed say that if Deng Jiugong took Xiqi and beheaded Ji Fa, he would be enfeoffed as Grand Tutor."

"If he is enfeoffed as Grand Tutor now, Deng Jiugong might become arrogant. What if he suffers a defeat?"

As Fei Zhong finished speaking, the ministers exchanged glances.

"Your Majesty, Minister Fei speaks the truth!"

"Although Deng Jiugong has achieved a temporary victory, Xiqi has not yet fallen, and the rebels have not been eliminated. The Great Shang's realm will not have peace until then. Enfeoffing Deng Jiugong as Grand Tutor now is too hasty!"

Following Fei Zhong, You Hun added his agreement.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin nodded, finding some merit in their words.

"Your Majesties, you are mistaken!"

"Currently, our Great Shang has been victorious in battle after battle. This is a time when the army's morale is at its peak. If Deng Jiugong is enfeoffed as Grand Tutor, it will only boost our army's morale further, and taking Xiqi and eliminating the rebels will be within reach!"

The minister below spoke.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin nodded, finding some sense in this as well.

"Your Majesty, Great Shang and Xiqi are currently in a truce. Since the ministers below have differing opinions, why not summon Deng Jiugong to Chaoge to meet Your Majesty?"

"If Deng Jiugong becomes arrogant then, we will not enfeoff him as Grand Tutor!"

"If Deng Jiugong remains as usual, there is no harm in enfeoffing him as Grand Tutor!"

Just then, the fox spirit Daji slowly emerged and spoke.

"The Queen speaks wisely. We shall follow the Queen's suggestion!"

Emperor Xin declared.

At the Marshal's Mansion in Three Mountains Pass!

Deng Jiugong was still in seclusion.

Originally, with the Time Dao Disk in hand and the Creation Jade Disk Fragment amplifying his enlightenment speed, Deng Jiugong thought he could comprehend some laws with a little effort.

However, upon truly attempting to comprehend the laws within the Creation Jade Disk Fragment, Deng Jiugong realized how difficult laws were to grasp.
