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

Deng Jiugong asked.

"The King has sent an imperial decree, ordering the Marshal to proceed to Chaoge immediately!"

As Tailuan spoke, he handed the memorial to Deng Jiugong.

Reading what was written in the document, Deng Jiugong's brow furrowed slightly.

Emperor Xin was asking him to go to Chaoge at this time; he wondered what important matter it could be.

Could it be that the King thought he was currently at peace with Xiqi and wanted to provoke a fight?

That didn't seem right either!

If that were the case, a single memorial would have sufficed; there would be no need for him to specifically travel to Chaoge.

After pondering for a moment, Deng Jiugong said.

"Immediately summon Kong Xuan to see this Marshal!"

Upon hearing this, Tailuan hurried away.

Soon, Kong Xuan entered the Marshal's Mansion and appeared before Deng Jiugong.

"Kong Xuan!"

Deng Jiugong stepped forward and patted Kong Xuan's shoulder, his expression suggesting another important task, which left Kong Xuan feeling helpless.

"Marshal, if you have something to say, just say it!"

"Do you know why the King has summoned me back to Chaoge this time?"

Deng Jiugong asked.

He knew that Emperor Xin was easily swayed by fox spirits, his moods unpredictable.

Ji Chang had gone to Chaoge and had barely managed to return.

Before arriving in Chaoge, Deng Jiugong had a premonition that this trip to Chaoge might not go smoothly.

Whether it was good fortune or disaster, Deng Jiugong had no idea.

Although Deng Jiugong already possessed considerable strength and was of great importance to Great Shang, he might still encounter unexpected events, even if he wasn't specifically targeted like Ji Chang.

After all, Emperor Xin had three demons by his side, as well as sycophantic officials!

Deng Jiugong didn't know, but Kong Xuan was a powerful being and should be able to see more clearly than he could.

"Kong Xuan doesn't know, but as long as Marshal is careful, there shouldn't be any major issues!"

Kong Xuan said.

As his voice fell, Kong Xuan couldn't help but frown slightly.

Despite being a powerful being himself, he always felt as if Deng Jiugong had seen through him in their interactions.

Conversely, he found it difficult to see through Deng Jiugong, which was quite strange.

"That's good to hear!" Deng Jiugong nodded.

Kong Xuan's words were essentially telling him that his trip to Chaoge would indeed not be very smooth, but as long as he was careful, nothing would happen.

"Kong Xuan, this Marshal will depart for Chaoge immediately to meet the King. I will leave this place entirely in your hands!"

"I have repeatedly achieved merits. If the King grants me the title of Grand Tutor, I will promote you!"

Deng Jiugong patted Kong Xuan's shoulder and said meaningfully.

Kong Xuan smiled, a hint of peculiarity in his expression.

Here we go again!

Although he didn't mind internally, he maintained an outwardly flattered expression.

"Marshal, please rest assured. With Kong Xuan here, everything in the army will be well!"

Hearing this, Deng Jiugong nodded with satisfaction.

Immediately after, Deng Jiugong handed all the prepared elixirs to Tailuan, instructing him to use them wisely.

However, before leaving, Kong Xuan hesitated for a moment before giving Deng Jiugong a feather.

Deng Jiugong casually put it away, but in his heart, he knew this feather was no ordinary object. It bore a talisman seal, likely a life-saving item given by Kong Xuan in case Deng Jiugong truly encountered any danger on his journey.

With the military affairs settled, Deng Jiugong broke through the air and departed.

This time, traveling to Chaoge, Deng Jiugong wasn't worried about his own safety.

However, it was prudent to make some preparations.

Therefore, along the way, Deng Jiugong changed his direction.

Instead of heading directly to Chaoge, he took out a treasure map and sped towards its indicated location.

Soon, Deng Jiugong appeared in a nameless mountain range.

The spiritual energy here was dense, as if it were a place of immortals.

Following the guidance of the treasure map, Deng Jiugong quickly found an innate restriction.

After breaking through the Innate Restriction, Deng Jiugong took a step forward and appeared within the Innate Restriction space.

"This!!!"

Seeing the scene before him, Deng Jiugong was stunned!

Looking at the scene before him, Deng Jiugong was dumbfounded.

Before him stood a divine tree emitting infinite starlight, which at first glance resembled a vast expanse of starry sky.

"Star Fruit Tree!"

Deng Jiugong's heart filled with joy.

Legend had it that the Star Fruit Tree was originally a Chaos Spiritual Root, bearing three hundred and sixty-five Star Fruits, corresponding to the three hundred and sixty-five main stars in the Primordial Era's starry sky.

However, like the Peaches of Immortality tree, its origin was quite scattered. After the heavens and earth were separated, the Chaos Star Tree transformed into countless trees, scattered across the Primordial Era, with varying grades.

The Star Fruit Tree before Deng Jiugong possessed a might far more terrifying than the Crimson Blood Dragon Fruit.

"The grade of this Star Fruit Tree must be a High-grade Innate Spiritual Root!"

Deng Jiugong murmured.

With a movement, he landed beneath the Star Fruit Tree. Gazing upwards, he saw infinite starlight falling like a vast starry sky, a truly awe-inspiring sight.

"How can I take this Star Fruit Tree away!"

Having finally encountered a Spiritual Root of such a high grade, Deng Jiugong was unwilling to simply pick the fruits and leave.

The grade of the Star Fruit Tree was too high, making it difficult to take it away.

With a raise of his hand, his power erupted, causing the Star Fruit Tree before him to shake violently, affecting the entire Innate Restriction space.

"There's hope!"

With a thought, he activated the Pangu Divine Art, unleashing the power of his Nascent Soul and physical body simultaneously.

Still, he couldn't take it away!

"Dragon Subduing Tiger Subduing!"

Employing his Divine Ability, Deng Jiugong's strength surged once more.

This time, it finally worked!

Rumble!

After a series of terrifying roars, Deng Jiugong forcefully uprooted the Star Fruit Tree and collected it into his System space.

Hoo!

He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

If the Star Fruit Tree had been a Supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Root, Deng Jiugong would likely have had no choice but to pick the fruits and leave.

Buzz!

Just then, a terrifying surge of life force emanated from below.

"This aura!"

Deng Jiugong's expression trembled.

Beneath the original location of the Star Fruit Tree, he saw a pool of divine water emitting an infinite aura of life.

"Three Lights Divine Water?"

Deng Jiugong's heart raced with excitement.

No other water possessed such a terrifying life aura.

The Three Lights Divine Water was the foremost healing divine medicine of the Primordial Era, capable of regenerating flesh and reviving the dead.

It was formed by the fusion of Sunlight Divine Water, Moonlight Divine Water, and Starlight Divine Water!
