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

At this moment, he had no choice but to take on a disciple.

"Choose the second option!"

Deng Jiugong thought to himself.

Compared to his current position as Grand Tutor, becoming the Human Emperor's teacher would be far more appealing.

Never mind if Emperor Xin became the Human Emperor in the future; even becoming the Human King's teacher right now was very appealing.

"I agree!"

Deng Jiugong said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin's expression lit up with joy.

Then, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, officially completing the disciple acceptance ceremony.

Deng Jiugong helped Emperor Xin up and said, "Since Your Majesty has accepted me, Deng Jiugong, as your teacher, I will naturally pass down my cultivation techniques to you!"

As his voice fell, a golden book appeared in Deng Jiugong's hand. It exuded an imperial aura that captivated the soul.

Upon seeing this book, Emperor Xin was mesmerized.

"This is the Human Emperor Art. Once your cultivation reaches the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, you will possess the strength of a Human King. Upon reaching the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, you will have the cultivation of a Human Emperor!"

He handed the Human Emperor Art to Emperor Xin, whose hands trembled slightly.

"Thank you, Master!"

Emperor Xin knelt and expressed his gratitude.

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for taking Emperor Xin as a disciple and passing down the Human Emperor Art. You have obtained the acquired merit treasure, the Primordial Sky-Measuring Ruler!"

Upon hearing this, Deng Jiugong's expression turned to one of pleasant surprise.

He knew that the Primordial Sky-Measuring Ruler was formed from a wisp of purple qi in the Primordial Era, fused with the great merits of creation at the beginning of heaven and earth. It was the foremost killing treasure of the Primordial Era, possessing immense power.

With this supreme treasure in hand, Deng Jiugong's strength would undoubtedly see a leap in improvement.

Buzz!

At this very moment, an inexplicable surge of destiny empowered Deng Jiugong, causing him to pause in surprise.

This was the destiny of a Human King's teacher. Although it did not increase his cultivation, it had invisibly elevated his destiny to a new level.

If Emperor Xin were to become a Human Emperor or the Human Emperor in the future, his destiny would be even more terrifying.

"Your cultivation is still low. Wait here while I refine an elixir for you!"

As Deng Jiugong finished speaking, he sat down cross-legged and began to refine an elixir.

Buzz!

With a wave of his hand, Deng Jiugong cast out numerous alchemy talismans, which condensed into an alchemy furnace before him.

With a thought, he tossed spirit fruits into the alchemy furnace and began refining.

As Emperor Xin's cultivation was low, Deng Jiugong primarily refined elixirs below the third-turn Golden Elixir stage, suitable for mortals.

Soon, the elixirs were ready. To Emperor Xin's delighted surprise, he took the pills, left the side hall, found a place for secluded cultivation, and began practicing the Human Emperor Art.

Meanwhile, Deng Jiugong continued refining elixirs!

He produced many elixirs of various grades, but his speed noticeably slowed when he reached the seventh-turn Golden Elixir.

The seventh-turn Golden Elixir was an elixir effective for those in the Golden Immortal Realm.

Deng Jiugong had comprehended his Divine Ability to the Minor Accomplishment stage, allowing him to refine elixirs of this grade at most.

However, when it came to refining seventh-turn Golden Elixirs, it increased his failure rate.

Fortunately, Deng Jiugong had prepared beforehand and warmed up. Now, refining seventh-turn Golden Elixirs had become more practiced.

After an unknown amount of time, Deng Jiugong had dozens of seventh-turn Golden Elixirs before him.

"Currently, my Nascent Soul cultivation is in the early stage of the Golden Immortal Realm. It's time to improve it!"

As he spoke, Deng Jiugong activated the Time Dao Disk, consumed a seventh-turn Golden Elixir, and began to refine it.

He brought out the Creation Jade Disk Fragment to amplify his enlightenment speed, allowing Deng Jiugong to refine at an extremely fast pace.

He already possessed the foundation of an Intermediate Innate Demon God. Now, coupled with the destiny of a Human King's teacher, his refining speed was even more rapid than before.

Deng Jiugong's Nascent Soul cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.

Early Golden Immortal Realm!

Mid Golden Immortal Realm!

Late Golden Immortal Realm!

Perfection Golden Immortal Realm!

When his Nascent Soul cultivation reached Perfection Golden Immortal Realm, matching his physical body cultivation, Deng Jiugong had to stop.

"I'm only one step away from reaching the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm for my cultivation!"

Deng Jiugong said slowly.

Then, he took out the Primordial Sky-Measuring Ruler and began to refine it.

The Primordial Sky-Measuring Ruler contained Post-celestial Restrictions. Its power as a supreme treasure was terrifying, and refining it was even harder than refining Innate Restrictions.

In a short period, Deng Jiugong couldn't even refine the first restriction within it.

Helpless, Deng Jiugong had to use Great Dao Merit to speed up the refining process.

After consuming one million points of Great Dao Merit, Deng Jiugong finally achieved preliminary refinement of the Primordial Sky-Measuring Ruler.

Sensing the terrifying power of the Primordial Sky-Measuring Ruler, Deng Jiugong was excited.

With this supreme treasure in hand, even though he was only at the Golden Immortal Realm cultivation, he could probably easily blast some powerful Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

Deng Jiugong emerged from seclusion after his cultivation advanced to Golden Immortal Realm Perfection.

Soon, Emperor Xin arrived before Deng Jiugong.

"Teacher!"

Emperor Xin said, his expression full of pleasant surprise.

At this moment, Emperor Xin's cultivation had reached the Earth Immortal Realm, truly stepping into the ranks of Immortals.

"Hmm, not bad!"

Deng Jiugong nodded.

Emperor Xin was not deluded by the three demons, possessed the luck of the Human King, and with the Elixirs he gave, his strength improved rapidly.

At this time, the golden dragon of luck that was circling Emperor Xin had solidified somewhat.

"By the way, during my time in Chaoge, why haven't I seen Shen Gongbao?"

Deng Jiugong asked.

Emperor Xin had appointed Shen Gongbao as the Great Shang's National Preceptor, but he had been slow to appear.

"Shen Gongbao returns every so often. Does Teacher need Shen Gongbao for something?"

Emperor Xin asked.

Shen Gongbao was elusive; if he didn't show himself willingly, Emperor Xin couldn't find him.

"When he returns, tell him to invite more reinforcements from the Sect of Interception!"

Deng Jiugong said.

His camp lacked Grand Unity Golden Immortal powerhouses.

Last time, when Manjushri Guangfa Heavenly Venerate and Samantabhadra assisted Xiqi, it was Lu Yue who held the line.

Lu Yue had returned to Nine Dragon Island to research the Plague Formation and wouldn't be back anytime soon. He urgently needed Grand Unity Golden Immortal-level fighters.

Otherwise, he would have to let Kong Xuan expose his strength prematurely, which was not what Deng Jiugong wished for.

"Yes!"

Emperor Xin nodded.

"What are Teacher's thoughts on the Sect of Interception?"

After a moment of thought, Emperor Xin asked.

"Xiqi has the Chan Sect's assistance. For my Great Shang to defeat the Xiqi rebels, we need the strength of the Sect of Interception!"

"However, although the Sect of Interception assists my Great Shang, they are ultimately a force of the Heavenly Dao!"

Deng Jiugong said slowly.

Although he tried his best to protect the lives of the Sect of Interception disciples on the battlefield, it wasn't out of closeness to them, but rather to have more fighters on his side!
