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

Ultimately, Deng Jiugong's endeavor ended in near failure.

Despite possessing the Time Dao Disk and a Creation Jade Disk Fragment, and expending one million points of Great Dao Merit to accelerate his enlightenment, he couldn't even grasp the threshold of a law.

However, it was also Deng Jiugong's ambition that led him to attempt comprehending the law of time from the Creation Jade Disk Fragment right from the start.

Deng Jiugong possessed the Time Dao Disk.

This Time Dao Disk was a rare treasure, and the benefits it brought him were unimaginable.

Because of this, Deng Jiugong first chose to comprehend the law of time.

Deng Jiugong had a premonition that if he mastered the law of time, the Time Dao Disk might become something different.

Still, after much contemplation, it wasn't entirely without results; its true application in actual combat was still far off.

It was said that one could begin to touch upon laws in the Golden Immortal Realm, but Deng Jiugong speculated that perhaps only upon reaching the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm could one truly integrate laws into actual combat!!!

Otherwise, merely comprehending a sliver of a law would have no substantial effect, making it better to cultivate divine abilities instead.

After all, divine abilities were also derived from laws, essentially simplified releases of them.

Especially since comprehending laws would become much faster upon reaching the Golden Immortal Realm.

Knowing that comprehending laws was too difficult, Deng Jiugong had to settle for the next best thing and prepare to comprehend divine abilities.

The Creation Jade Disk Fragment recorded the Thirty-six Heavenly Dipper Arts and the Seventy-two Earthly Fiend Arts.

Deng Jiugong currently mastered two great divine abilities: the Five Elements Great Escape and Dragon Subduing Tiger Subduing.

One was a speed-based divine ability, the other a power-based one.

In reality, mastering these two divine abilities was sufficient for Deng Jiugong in combat.

However, as a Marshal, Deng Jiugong couldn't just consider himself; he also had to think for his army.

Therefore, after careful selection, Deng Jiugong set his sights on "Scattering Beans into Soldiers," one of the Thirty-six Heavenly Dipper Arts, and "Manipulating Pills," one of the Seventy-two Earthly Fiend Arts!

Scattering Beans into Soldiers was a great divine ability. As the name suggested, scattering beans could transform them into soldiers.

Upon achieving Initiation in Scattering Beans into Soldiers, one could use beans to create an army of thousands.

However, this was merely for show; the soldiers created lacked any real combat power.

If one comprehended it to Minor Accomplishment, then a single bean could transform into a living being, which would be quite useful on the battlefield.

And if it was comprehended to Major Accomplishment, it would be formidable; the beings created from beans could even possess the strength of Immortals.

As for the Perfection realm of Scattering Beans into Soldiers, the strength of the transformed beings would depend on the caster's mana. If the power of laws were also applied, their combat prowess could even reach the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level.

The benefit of Scattering Beans into Soldiers was the ability to conjure numerous soldiers out of thin air.

However, Scattering Beans into Soldiers had limitations. If the caster's applied power was exhausted, they would revert back into beans. They wouldn't truly possess the inexhaustible life force of living beings, nor their self-healing abilities.

In the previous battle against Xiqi, Deng Jiugong's soldiers had suffered many injuries.

If Deng Jiugong could master Scattering Beans into Soldiers, it would significantly alleviate the pressure on his troops.

Next was the divine ability Manipulating Pills, which was used for refining elixirs.

Although Manipulating Pills was a minor divine ability among the Seventy-two Earthly Fiend Arts, its utility should not be underestimated.

Previously, Deng Jiugong used just a few elixirs to raise the cultivation of his generals to the Earth Immortal Realm.

If he could refine elixirs himself, the overall strength of his army could be improved.

However, improving strength through elixirs was not as quick as Scattering Beans into Soldiers.

Still, the effect of elixirs was extraordinary; they could truly cultivate powerhouses. To some extent, if forced to lead an army into battle, Deng Jiugong would lean more towards comprehending Manipulating Pills.

However, at this moment, Deng Jiugong intended to master both divine abilities.

Hum!

He brought out the Creation Jade Disk Fragment to amplify his enlightenment speed and began to comprehend the divine abilities.

Although his cultivation had reached the Golden Immortal Realm, Deng Jiugong's comprehension speed was extremely fast, yet he still felt it wasn't enough.

He directly consumed five hundred thousand Great Dao Merit to accelerate his comprehension.

Soon, Deng Jiugong comprehended both Scattering Beans into Soldiers and Manipulating Pills to the Minor Accomplishment realm.

As for the Major Accomplishment realm, even if he could pile up Great Dao Merit, with his current strength, he wouldn't be able to unleash its full power.

Take Dragon Subduing Tiger Subduing for example; he had comprehended it to Minor Accomplishment long ago. Even now, with his Golden Immortal Realm cultivation, Deng Jiugong felt he hadn't fully utilized its power.

It was simply that his level of strength was insufficient, leading to a feeling of having the will but not the strength.

Having comprehended Manipulating Pills, Deng Jiugong prepared to start refining elixirs.

Previously, he had obtained Crimson Blood Dragon Fruit during his travels, which he had consumed entirely. However, there were still many Spiritual Roots on that island.

To Deng Jiugong, the quality of those Spiritual Roots was somewhat low, but they were sufficient for refining elixirs.

Hum!

He cast the Manipulating Pills divine ability, and with a wave of his hand, numerous pill-refining talismans condensed, forming a pill-furnace before Deng Jiugong.

To refine elixirs, a pill-furnace was essential.

However, Deng Jiugong had no alchemy furnace on hand, so he could only use the Art of Manipulating Pills to condense them.

This might affect the success rate, but he could still manage to refine them.

With a thought, Deng Jiugong took out the spiritual materials he had obtained earlier, threw them into the alchemy furnace, and began refining using the Art of Manipulating Pills and his mana.

Soon!

Batch after batch of pills were refined.

The quality of the pills Deng Jiugong refined was not high, so none of the batches failed.

These pills were almost all useful for mortals, and he made them out of fear of failing, considering them practice.

Afterward, Deng Jiugong began refining higher-grade pills.

Pills below the third revolution are for mortals, while those above the third revolution are for Immortals.

For example, the Elixirs Deng Jiugong obtained from Tu Xingsun earlier were around the fifth or sixth revolution.

Up to the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, which is an Elixir useful even to Grand Unity Golden Immortals, one needs to achieve Perfection in the Art of Manipulating Pills to refine it.

Deng Jiugong had only achieved Minor Accomplishment in the Art of Manipulating Pills, and at most, he could refine a seventh-revolution Golden Elixir, meaning a Golden Elixir useful only to those in the Golden Immortal Realm!

Therefore, refining low-grade pills was as easy as turning his hand for Deng Jiugong.

Soon, after refining many third-revolution Golden Elixirs, Deng Jiugong refined quite a few fourth-revolution and fifth-revolution Golden Elixirs, with only a few sixth-revolution Golden Elixirs.

At this point, Deng Jiugong's refining spiritual materials were all used up.

He couldn't help but sigh. It was also because he had too few refining spiritual materials, and he hadn't even refined a single seventh-revolution Golden Elixir that would be useful to himself.

However, these pills would be of great use to the soldiers in his army.

He could even cultivate experts in the Mystic Immortal Realm among his generals!

After refining the Elixirs, Deng Jiugong did not rush to leave seclusion but instead began to comprehend his Vast Void Divine Blade Art.

The Immortal Scroll of the Vast Void Divine Blade Art has a total of six layers.

When he was in the Mystic Immortal Realm, he could comprehend the first layer. Now that his cultivation had reached the Golden Immortal Realm, he could comprehend the second layer.

"Great Dao Merit!"

He directly used five hundred thousand Great Dao Merit, and with the enlightenment amplification from the Creation Jade Disk Fragment, Deng Jiugong comprehended rapidly.

Soon, he comprehended the second layer of the Vast Void Divine Blade Art.

At this time, Deng Jiugong took out his two divine blades.

The Heavenly Origin Divine Blade and the Destruction Divine Blade were both mid-grade Innate Spirit Treasures. Now that Deng Jiugong's Nascent Soul cultivation had advanced to the Golden Immortal Realm, he could completely refine the Innate Restrictions within them.

Therefore, after channeling his mana into these two divine blades and completely refining the Innate Restrictions within them, Deng Jiugong began to wield his two great blades.

Hum!

Infinite blade intent surged within his Marshal's Mansion, sharp and immensely powerful.

Deng Jiugong's improved cultivation, the complete refinement of the restrictions within the dual blades, and the second layer of the Vast Void Divine Blade Art.

Therefore, this time, Deng Jiugong's blade dance was amplified by three aspects, making it far more powerful than before.

The might was so immense that it even startled Kong Xuan, who raised his proud head and sensed toward Deng Jiugong.

"Deng Jiugong's blade technique has broken through again!" Kong Xuan exclaimed in amazement.

"No, his cultivation has actually broken through to the Golden Immortal Realm!"

Deng Jiugong's talent was simply incredible.

"Marshal!"

Just then, Tailuan spoke with a look of uncertainty.

"What is it?"
