Juan Shoutian Inheritance Card, One Step Into Dou Emperor!

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

On the small island in the center of the lake deep within the Divine Temple, a small sun radiating golden divine light, illuminating the heavens and earth, hovered in mid-air. It was incredibly incandescent and possessed terrifying power; the high temperature on the surface of the small sun alone caused the space around it to distort, making the three-inch radius around it feel like an entirely different world.

An indescribable aura swirled around the small sun manifested by Gu Shenge, thread by thread, beam by beam, piercing through the myriad worlds, suppressing the past, present, and future, and reversing the yin and yang of heaven and earth!

Nine Sun Emperor Characters were branded onto Gu Shenge's body, each one crystal clear, eternal, and immortal, suppressing the myriad paths of the heavens and illuminating the three thousand worlds!

The small sun was gradually absorbed by Gu Shenge. His body underwent a transformation to its absolute limit; his features shifted from their original delicate handsomeness to a majestic, god-like appearance. His three thousand strands of hair became as brilliant and golden as the chains of a sun god, and a Sun God Mark was branded between his brows, radiating a vast, abyssal divine might that compelled others to bow in submission.

Every inch of his flesh and blood radiated solar divine light, his blood transforming into Sun God Blood, brilliant to the extreme and incredibly miraculous. With the divine sun contained within his body, he was like the incarnation of the sun itself.

The transformation complete, Gu Shenge's body, which had been hovering in mid-air, gradually descended to the ground.

It is unknown how much time had passed when he slowly opened his eyes. Golden light shone, as fierce as the sun; no evil or sinister entity could hide under his gaze.

"The fusion is complete."

Gu Shenge slowly stood up, the golden light in his eyes fading. He felt better than ever before. A faint golden glow radiated from his body, and his flesh contained the divine sun, making him appear like a human-shaped miniature sun. With every gesture, divine radiance spilled forth, as if the sun were casting its rays.

Not only that, but with every breath Gu Shenge took, the stray energy between heaven and earth poured into his body. The divine sun within him converted it, meaning he didn't need to cultivate himself to refine it; it was essentially 24-hour automatic cultivation.

Furthermore, as Gu Shenge closed his eyes to sense carefully, he found his soul surrounded and protected by the nine Sun Emperor Characters, suppressing any interference and ensuring he remained untouched by any evil or ominous influence. No one could cause even a shred of damage to his soul.

These nine Emperor Characters did not just protect Gu Shenge's soul; they also brought him an imperial divine technique—a supreme fist technique used by the Sun Holy Emperor to suppress the universe and sweep across the nine heavens and ten earths.

Sun Emperor Fist

Although it was not the Sun Immortal Scripture, Gu Shenge was already very satisfied to obtain the Sun Emperor Fist, a supreme imperial divine technique. This could be considered a "buy one, get one free" deal.

"Hmm? Where is Medusa?"

Gu Shenge looked around, but he did not find any sign of Medusa. It was likely that he had spent too much time fusing with the Origin Points, and Medusa had grown impatient and left early.

However, the small island had been ruined by him. The high temperature generated during the fusion of the solar body had withered the flowers and grass, cracked the ground, and even the lake was nearly evaporated, with all the venomous snakes and giant pythons inside scorched to death.

This made Gu Shenge feel a bit awkward.

If he destroyed Medusa's island, would she throw a tantrum?

This made him think of a certain gaming meme.

While Medusa had not yet arrived, Gu Shenge opened the system and used the Heaven-Grade Lottery he had been rewarded with earlier.

[Ding~ The lottery is complete. Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Juan Shoutian Inheritance Card]

"Juan Shoutian Inheritance Card?"

Gu Shenge naturally knew who Juan Shoutian was.

He was the representative of the Northern Sect of the Dao Zhen lineage in Pili Puppetry, known alongside the "Little Master" Yuan Wuxiang as the "Dao Zhen Twin Elites." They were a gold-and-silver duo; Yuan Wuxiang was nicknamed "High-Grade Silver," and Juan Shoutian was nicknamed "Tuhao Gold."

Because he survived being head-shotted by Guifang Chiming and even managed to unleash a powerful ultimate move afterward, he was also known as the "God Tank of the Bitter Realm," a representative of the immortal type.

But why would Juan Shoutian's inheritance card be ranked as Heaven-Grade? His strength in Pili had fallen to the bottom as the series updated and evolved.

Could it be because of his transcendent form, Heavenly Sword Feitian?

Neither saint nor demon, it is Feitian. It is a thousand-year legend of the Tianyu Sword Clan.

Feitian is a special state that is neither god, nor ghost, nor human, but exists between them.

It is said: "Appearing only once in a thousand years, one sword rages for a thousand years!"

The Juan Shoutian Inheritance Card appeared in Gu Shenge's hand. On the front was Juan Shoutian in his golden Daoist attire, and on the back was the incredibly arrogant Heavenly Sword Feitian.

Subsequently, information regarding the inheritance card flooded into his mind, and Gu Shenge understood why the Juan Shoutian Inheritance Card was ranked as Heaven-Grade.

After using this inheritance card, he would obtain Juan Shoutian's legacy, including his weapons, knowledge, cultivation, and the Heavenly Sword Feitian form.

Of course, Gu Shenge could not inherit everything at once. It was divided into three stages; as his strength reached certain levels, he would inherit a portion, specifically at the Dou Emperor, Dou Ancestor, and Dou Zun realms.

Upon using the inheritance card, Gu Shenge would receive the first stage of the inheritance, and his own cultivation would be raised to the Dou Emperor realm.

Stepping directly into the Dou Emperor realm in one go, he would instantly become a top-tier powerhouse on the Northwest Continent.

He did not hesitate and immediately crushed the inheritance card. In this Dou Qi Continent where the strong were respected, it was impossible to move an inch without powerful strength to back oneself up.

The inheritance card transformed into countless golden light spots that merged into Gu Shenge's body, and a vast amount of inherited knowledge surfaced in his mind, including sword techniques, fist techniques, sword formations, combat experience, and more.

At the same time, his cultivation began to rise rapidly.

Within a few breaths, he went from a first-stage Dou Disciple to a one-star Dou Emperor. His foundation was deep and incredibly solid, without the slightest feeling of instability that usually comes with forced empowerment, as if every shred of Dou Qi in his body had been cultivated by Gu Shenge through days and nights of hard work.

After accepting the first stage of the inheritance, Gu Shenge slowly opened his eyes, which revealed a faint sense of vicissitudes, only returning to normal after a long while.

Juan Shoutian's golden robe and the Heavenly Sheath Dawn also appeared in his hands, which he then stored away in his system space.

Feeling the Solar Dou Qi within him, which was as vast as a river and extremely scorching, flowing through every inch of his meridians and connecting his limbs and bones, Gu Shenge had the illusion that he could pin Medusa down on the bed and dominate her!

He lifted his right hand slightly and formed a sword finger. Solar Dou Qi condensed, and wisps of golden sword qi, as dazzling as the dawn, swirled around his fingertip. It was sharp and scorching, as if it could pierce the heavens and shatter the darkness.

Gu Shenge flicked his sword finger, and the sword qi swept across the island. A deep, long sword mark appeared with a clean cut, nearly splitting the island in two and adding yet another scar to the land.

"Not bad." He blew on his sword finger, quite satisfied with the strike.

Just then, a bright red figure appeared beside Gu Shenge; it was none other than Medusa.

The existence of the Marriage Contract allowed her to sense Gu Shenge's state.

The moment she sensed he had awakened, Medusa rushed over.

"You actually broke through to the Dou Emperor realm?!"

Medusa carefully sensed Gu Shenge's aura, a flicker of astonishment appearing in her eyes, her voice tinged with surprise.

It had only been a month, yet this ant had leaped from having zero cultivation to becoming a Dou Emperor?! What was that golden orb of light he absorbed earlier? It possessed such miraculous effects!

Still, it was for the best; at the very least, a Dou Emperor powerhouse was barely qualified to be the husband of her, Medusa.

PS: The protagonist will walk the continent using two identities in the future, and his name will be switched accordingly.

Regarding the combat power of Juan Shoutian, a Pili expert in the group said it was at most equivalent to a Dou Ancestor, but I am just a fan of Fatty Juan, so I designed his combat power to be a bit higher; Heavenly Sword Feitian is equivalent to a Dou Zun.
