Thanks.

Liu Chengfeng began practicing the Purple Mist Flying Waterfall Technique; when his body moved, he was like a wisp of light smoke, ethereal and swift.

When he stopped, he was like a mountain-crushing meteorite, his blood energy exploding forth to shatter stone and break walls.

The Purple Mist Flying Waterfall Technique was fused from the Purple Cloud Technique and the Flying Sand Steps.

The Purple Cloud Technique used blood energy to strengthen the physical body, with mist energy protecting the form.

The Flying Sand Steps excelled in footwork, moving like the wind, kicking up sand and stones to confuse the enemy's vision.

The Celestial Body fused them together, using the innate as the foundation to forge an innate technique.

The footwork of the Purple Mist Flying Waterfall Technique was marvelous, allowing him to weave freely between enemies and dodge attacks.

When executing this technique, as the blood energy settled, the purple mist protected his body, generating a powerful impact force.

It could bring the power of the Treasure Mountain Divine Treasury into full play.

Liu Chengfeng, light as smoke, wove through the trees, leaped onto treetops, and ascended mountain peaks as if flying upon leaves.

The Treasure Mountain Divine Treasury had not yet reached the stage of true flight, only allowing for high leaps.

As for the first stage, leaping a hundred meters, traveling three thousand miles a day, and possessing thirty thousand catties of force.

These were all limits.

The mental cultivation and techniques Liu Chengfeng practiced were all innate, and his true blood was unique; he could completely break through the limits of his peers.

Liu Chengfeng executed the Purple Mist Flying Waterfall Technique, pushing his speed and leaping to the extreme, appearing just like flight.

He leaped into the air, tapped lightly on the treetops, and after changing footing a few times, he cleared a mountain peak.

His body was like light smoke, riding the mist as he traveled, looking incredibly dashing.

When Liu Chengfeng's blood energy settled, his body became as immovable as a mountain root.

His muscles, tendons, and bones were like copper walls and iron bastions; his rapidly charging body was like a meteor crashing into the forest.

A series of crashing sounds erupted, mud and stone flew, and a large patch of the forest collapsed, all overturned by Liu Chengfeng.

With a loud "bang," his body slammed heavily into a large boulder, shattering it into pieces, while Liu Chengfeng remained completely unharmed.

"Good—"

Even the Second Elder, who had practiced the Purple Cloud Technique for a lifetime, and the First Elder, who had practiced the Flying Sand Steps for a lifetime, could not help but cheer aloud.

"Brother, your progress is so fast it doesn't seem human; in just two or three months, you've achieved what would take me ten years of cultivation."

Jiang Yu could not help but feel envious; a genius seen once in a hundred thousand years, how could he compare his own life to that?

As the senior disciple, Jiang Yu was already considered a genius within the Cloud Rising Sect.

His Flying Sand Steps were also peerless, allowing him to move with ease among many enemies, but now, compared to Liu Chengfeng, he was completely overshadowed.

"This impact force must have broken the limit of the first stage of the Treasure Mountain."

The Fourth Elder observed the shattered boulder.

"The impact force is likely over forty thousand catties."

Nangong Renshe was very certain.

Hearing this, Jiang Yu and the others could not help but gasp; the limit of strength for the first stage of the Treasure Mountain was thirty thousand catties.

Few god-cultivators at this stage could ever reach that limit.

Now, Liu Chengfeng had not only broken the limit, but even an opponent at the second stage of the Treasure Mountain would be suppressed by him.

"This is the power of the innate."

Whether it was the elders or disciples like Jiang Yu, they all benefited from Liu Chengfeng's success.

Liu Chengfeng practiced the techniques of the Cloud Rising Sect and had created four innate techniques in one go; now, they could practice innate techniques as well.

In the past, they wouldn't have even dared to dream of innate techniques.

"Worthy nephew, when will you be able to cultivate the Reception Divine Treasury?"

Nangong Renshe was eager for Liu Chengfeng to quickly cultivate the Reception Divine Treasury, so that when the time came, Liu Chengfeng would create an innate technique for it.

He would then be able to pick up Liu Chengfeng's technique to practice.

The five elders couldn't help but laugh.

Suddenly, spiritual energy surged violently, rushing in from afar like a gale.

"What is happening?"

Whether it was Nangong Renshe or the five elders, they were all greatly shocked.

Following this, the horizon brightened, and a phoenix cry was heard, resounding through the sky as beams of light shot upward.

The light intertwined in the firmament into a phoenix, diving toward the enemy with raging flames.

"The Flying Phoenix Kingdom—"

The moment Nangong Renshe saw this omen, he felt that something was wrong.

The momentum of the Flying Phoenix Kingdom was overwhelming, accompanied by a lion's roar that pierced the firmament.

Golden light surged into the sky as a giant lion roared, ascending to the heavens to strike; the blade slashed for ten thousand meters, as if cleaving the earth asunder.

"Dragon Ascending Slash—"

The divine lion roared, descending upon the world, and with a single strike, it split the flaming phoenix in two.

A mournful cry echoed as the phoenix was severed, shattering and collapsing into countless wisps of spirit energy that dissipated into the void.

"Dragon Ascending Holy Sect, Sect Master Feng Wanli."

Seeing this scene, Nangong Renshe and the five elders all had their expressions change drastically.

"This is a disaster; the Spirit Vein dojo of the Flying Phoenix Kingdom has been shattered."

Nangong Renshe felt the spirit energy drifting away in all directions like a receding tide, and he was struck with horror.

Knowing that a catastrophe had occurred, Nangong Renshe and the others immediately returned to the main peak to discuss the situation and dispatch disciples to gather intelligence.

Soon, Nangong Renshe and his group learned the news: the Flying Phoenix Kingdom had been annihilated, its capital breached, and its Spirit Vein dojo shattered by the Sect Master of the Dragon Ascending Holy Sect.

Once the news broke, the Qiuchi Kingdom trembled, and an invisible pressure permeated the entire nation.

"The Flying Phoenix Kingdom has been destroyed; will the Qiuchi Kingdom be next?"

Nangong Renshe was filled with worry.

The Flying Phoenix Kingdom, the Dragon Ascending Holy Sect, the Nangong Clan, and the Qiuchi Kingdom were four neighboring powers of the Master level.

Now that the Dragon Ascending Holy Sect had wiped out the Flying Phoenix Kingdom, their next target was likely the Qiuchi Kingdom.

In the Green Meng Realm, the strength of sects and factions, from low to high, is categorized as: Master level, Ancient Kingdom level, and Divine Dynasty level.

The Cloud Rising Sect did not even make the rankings, and the Qiuchi Kingdom, which stood above the Cloud Rising Sect, was merely at the Master level.

Hardly had the Flying Phoenix Kingdom been destroyed when the Ascending Wu Clan came knocking; the clan head, Ascending Wu Rong, arrived in person outside the gates of the Cloud Rising Sect to issue a challenge, though he dared not easily step inside.

Ascending Wu Rong came to challenge them, demanding that the Cloud Rising Sect hand over Liu Chengfeng.

Nangong Renshe and the five elders immediately took their positions, not daring to underestimate the threat.

"Sect Master Nangong, there is no enmity between our two factions. I am merely acting under orders; if your Cloud Rising Sect hands over Liu Chengfeng, I will leave immediately."

Ascending Wu Rong had come alone and did not intend to start a war immediately, preferring to be polite before resorting to force.

"Nephew Liu is a guest elder of our Cloud Rising Sect. Brother Wu Rong, please return."

Regarding the demand of the Ascending Wu Clan, the Cloud Rising Sect gave a flat refusal.

"Brother Nangong, it is not that I want his life; it is the Dragon Ascending Holy Sect that has specifically ordered his execution."

"The Qiuchi Kingdom is not the territory of the Dragon Ascending Holy Sect."

Nangong Renshe let out a cold laugh.

"Brother Nangong is correct, but this is a directive from the Ancient Li Royal Court."

"A directive from the Ancient Li Royal Court—"

Nangong Renshe and the five elders all turned grave.

"That boy surnamed Liu killed Villa Master Zhao; how is the Ancient Li Royal Court supposed to answer to the Divine Dynasty?"

"Sect Master Nangong, a wise man submits to circumstances; do not bring the disaster of annihilation upon the Cloud Rising Sect."

Ascending Wu Rong threatened Nangong Renshe, causing the expressions of Nangong Renshe and the five elders to change instantly.

Ascending Wu Rong's words were not without reason.

Back when Zhao Tian was born with divine grace, it was the Ancient Li Royal Court that discovered him first, intending to take him in as a divine child.

However, for reasons unknown, they later sent him to the Divine Dynasty.

Legend had it that Zhao Tian had already received a summons from the gods; his future was boundless, and he might truly be deified one day.

"Clan Head Wu Rong, please return."

Nangong Renshe and the five elders felt their hearts sink, but they still issued an order for Ascending Wu Rong to leave.

"Junior, the Cloud Rising Sect cannot protect you for a lifetime. To be an enemy of Young Master Zhao is to invite the destruction of your entire clan."

Ascending Wu Rong dared not storm the Cloud Rising Sect to seize the person, so he coldly threatened Liu Chengfeng instead.

Liu Chengfeng's expression darkened as he stared at Ascending Wu Rong, his gaze fierce and overbearing.

"Who will be deified first remains to be seen. As for the son of a traitorous slave, I will slay him one day."

"Hmph, we shall see."

Having gained nothing, Ascending Wu Rong turned and left.

"The Ancient Li Royal Court will not let this go. Brother Nangong, take care of yourself."

The harsh words left behind by the Ascending Wu Clan before they departed left Nangong Renshe and the others feeling heavy-hearted.

Nangong Renshe consulted with the five elders, deciding firmly not to hand over Liu Chengfeng; if all else failed, they would send Liu Chengfeng into the Qiuchi Kingdom.

"Or perhaps, send him to the Nangong Clan?"

The five elders deliberated, having other contingency plans as they all looked toward Nangong Renshe.

Nangong Renshe was not only the sect master of the Cloud Rising Sect, but he also held another identity: a collateral disciple of the Nangong Clan.

"This matter can be discussed."

"If that fails, we will invite the Sixth Ancestor back."

The Fourth Elder had an idea, which made the others look toward the First Elder.

The Cloud Rising Sect still had backing; it was not a small sect that anyone could manipulate at will.

"We must make contact regarding this. I have lived for two thousand years and have only met the Sixth Ancestor once. I do not know how the old gentleman is faring."

"With the Golden Crow Ancient Kingdom, we truly have no need to fear the Ancient Li Royal Court."

Nangong Renshe could not help but think of the Mountain Ghost Coin that Liu Chengfeng always wore on his chest.

Everyone said that the most powerful person in the Cloud Rising Sect was Nangong Renshe, but that was not the case; the Cloud Rising Sect still had an old ancestor—the Sixth Ancestor.

However, the Sixth Ancestor was not in the Cloud Rising Sect; he was serving as a guest advisor in the Golden Crow Ancient Kingdom.

Nangong Renshe discussed the matter with the five elders and drafted several plans.

Regardless of the circumstances, they had to protect Liu Chengfeng; they absolutely could not let this eternal genius be taken away by Ascending Wu Rong.

However, the Ascending Wu Clan acted quickly. A few days later, news came back from the outside that the Wu Dao Sect had been burned to the ground.

Upon hearing this news, Liu Chengfeng's expression darkened, worried for the safety of Zhou Yinfeng.

"Do not act rashly. This is a ploy to lure the snake out of its hole. The Ascending Rong Clan is trying to draw you back so they can capture you."

Nangong Renshe and the five elders were all worried that Liu Chengfeng would act on impulse and charge back to Little Meng Mountain.

"Rest assured, I will make the trip."

Nangong Renshe saw the worry in Liu Chengfeng's heart and agreed immediately.

"I trouble you, old uncle."

Liu Chengfeng felt grateful in his heart for Nangong Renshe's kindness.

"I am heading that way anyway, so it is a good opportunity to contact the clan elders."

Nangong Renshe did not want Liu Chengfeng to fall into the trap, so he decided to go to the Wu Dao Sect himself.

Furthermore, he truly did need to contact the elders of the Nangong Clan to secure backing for Liu Chengfeng.

After Nangong Renshe left, the Fourth Elder brought a cultivation technique manual to Liu Chengfeng.

"Once you have mastered the Purple Mist Flying Waterfall Technique, we have discussed getting you a combat technique from the Sage Scroll."

"It is just that the situation is tense right now, so practice this technique first for self-defense. This is only a transition; we will definitely get you a technique from the Sage Scroll."

The Thunder Sound Five Staffs sent by the Fourth Elder was a high-grade Human Scroll technique.

In the opinion of Nangong Renshe and the five elders, the essence of cultivation lay in refinement, not quantity.

They wanted Liu Chengfeng to practice the Fourth Elder's Imperial City Mad Monk Thirty-Six Pestles.

A Sage Scroll technique would better unleash the potential of a genius like Liu Chengfeng.

There was still no word from the Su Family, and now the Ascending Wu Clan was attacking their doorstep.

Therefore, the elders decided to have Liu Chengfeng practice the Thunder Sound Five Staffs first.

At the same time, they also sent the Thunder Sound Staff, which had been custom-forged for this technique; it was the weapon of the previous generation of elders and had been kept in the treasury.

Liu Chengfeng did not refuse any technique offered to him; once he received it, he began practicing immediately.

Through his Celestial Body, he refined the Thunder Sound Five Staffs to the peak grade.

Liu Chengfeng did not refine it into an innate-grade technique, and this was not just because he intended to use the Thunder Sound Five Staffs as a transitional technique.

There was another reason: pioneering a new path and ascending to seal himself as a god was a long journey.

He did not know how many black stone fragments he would need, so he had to use them sparingly.

The peak-grade Thunder Sound Five Staffs were extremely powerful when practiced, especially when paired with the Thunder Sound Staff, which doubled its might.

The Thunder Sound Staff was forged from Five-Tone Colored Bronze and belonged to the high-grade weapons of the Treasure Mountain Divine Treasury.

Weapons of the Blood Sea Divine Treasury were forged from exotic iron, capable of absorbing blood energy and withstanding ten thousand catties of force.

Weapons of the Treasure Mountain Divine Treasury were forged from colored bronze; not only could they absorb blood energy, but they were also hard and sharp, and could even be fused into one's own flesh and bones.
