The Divine Beast Phoenix, the Divine Artifact Snow Lotus

On this side, all kinds of wicked ideas were bubbling up in Qiangu Qingfeng's belly.

On the other side.

Elf Planet.

Di Tian gazed into the distance at the place where Qiangu Qingfeng had left, standing there for a while.

He knew the other party had misunderstood.

Asking the Elf Branch to expand enrollment and having the Federation take the initiative to provide cultivation resources had originally been meant to increase the chances of "Summoning Money" entering the Elf Branch. After all, Qian Lei, who possessed the Summoning Money martial soul, came from a commoner background and loved money dearly.

But Qiangu Qingfeng and Yu Muchen had clearly mistaken it for him becoming obsessed with the stage of the human world.

It was just...

"When Qiangu Qingfeng left, why did he suddenly give off such excited emotions?"

A bad feeling suddenly rose in Di Tian's heart, and he immediately began sorting through all the clues.

"Qiangu Qingfeng... Spirit Pagoda... Huo Yuhao... dog leash..."

Di Tian seemed to glimpse an illusion of the future.

One genius young woman after another from the Federation's various families entered the Soul Beast Forest under all sorts of pretexts while he was transforming and recultivating.

Di Tian said at once:

"Zi Ji!"

"Raise the ticket price for tourism on Elf Planet!"

"Huh?" Although Zi Ji was utterly baffled, she had always carried out Di Tian's orders without discount.

"All right."

"A ticket for touring all of Elf Planet costs 648 Federation Coins. How much should it be raised by?"

"Eight hundred and eighty thousand Federation Coins!"

"No bargaining!"

Zi Ji: "Huh?"

Qiangu Qingfeng and Di Tian, one after the other, both did things that left the people around them baffled.

The young version of Di Tian disappeared into the depths of the forest.

Although everything had been properly arranged, the lifted ends of his brows did not settle back down.

By his temples, there was still a trace of worry.

"My brain feels so itchy."

"What a headache."

"Is there still something I haven't considered?"

But after thinking left and right, he still could not figure out the reason for the bitter worry that made his frosty temples grow heavy.

"Forget it."

"When soldiers come, send a general; when water comes, use earth to dam it."

There really had been a lot going on lately. He had been walking a tightrope all along, and mentally, he was truly a little exhausted.

It was only a sense that there would be trouble, not a warning of death, so Di Tian did not make any focused preparations.

Instead, he sank into silence and hibernation.

The Seven-Character Battle Armor and Super-God Level Mecha sank into the Lake of Life.

Inside the corresponding cave dwelling.

The snow-lotus platform on which Di Tian sat cross-legged kept turning illusory, while the eggshell-like barrier around him kept solidifying, as if it were going to turn him into a dragon egg.

Until a certain moment.

His closed eyes opened.

It was not that his transformation was complete. He was still far from finishing his transformation.

If fierce beasts could transform and recultivate very quickly, then the Snow Empress back then would not have been sealed by humans with a soul tool while she was still in the state of a transformation embryo.

The reason he opened his eyes was because someone had arrived.

"Enter."

With that one word, the doors of the cave dwelling opened.

Bi Ji walked in with graceful lotus steps.

The battle was over, so Bi Ji naturally followed Di Tian in transforming and recultivating.

Only, compared with Di Tian's calm, Bi Ji was far more anxious and worried.

While nervously muttering, "Di Tian and I are internal self-production and self-consumption, so there won't be any problems," she sat down cross-legged right beside Di Tian.

Seeing that she was still some distance from Di Tian, she shifted her pert rear a little closer, then a little closer again...

She had rubbed right up against Di Tian.

"Bi Ji."

"In the state of a transformation embryo, you won't get it in no matter how much you rub."

Di Tian naturally knew what Bi Ji was worried about, and after a long sigh, he gave his assurance.

"Don't worry."

"Nothing will go wrong."

"You said it yourself. We're producing and consuming our own supply."

"Relax your body and mind."

"Don't miss the great opportunity in the process of transforming and rebuilding your cultivation."

"A great opportunity?" After Di Tian's reassurance, Bi Ji was clearly a little more at ease, and her attention was drawn by the "great opportunity" he mentioned.

"Could it be... that because of this great opportunity, you gained the strength that made those two human True Gods wary just now?"

"Yes."

"You can too."

"With the process of transforming and rebuilding your cultivation, you can gain a chance to escape the workings of heaven and be blessed by fate."

"Break through the seventy-year fierce beast heavenly tribulation and condense Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores."

"They can serve as your foundation after transforming and rebuilding your cultivation, allowing you to attack godhood as a soul master."

"Also."

"I just gained a new insight."

"It is difficult for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus to awaken spiritual intelligence. By using it to deceive heaven and cross the sea, it is equivalent to transforming as one body."

"In other words."

"The Snow Lotus will transform into a second martial soul."

"However, my dragon bloodline is too domineering and powerful. It cannot accommodate a foreign Snow Lotus."

"The second martial soul will probably manifest in some other form."

"But you are different."

"The Emerald Swan bloodline is gentle and can allow the Snow Lotus martial soul to coexist."

"Even if your bloodline becomes pure in the future and evolves into the divine beast phoenix, the Snow Lotus martial soul can also turn into a divine artifact that can resonate and be used at any time."

At this point, Di Tian paused.

"Of course."

"If you feel that having something else mixed into your bloodline is strange, I can also help you remove it."

There were always people who could not bear the impurity of their own bloodline, which was why he asked Bi Ji this unnecessary question.

Although Di Tian understood Bi Ji, this concerned the beginning of a new life.

For some things, it was still best for the person herself to decide.

"Why would I?" Bi Ji shook her head repeatedly. "My Emerald Swan bloodline was not from a single source to begin with, so why would I mind having one more Snow Lotus martial soul?"

"Besides."

"The Snow Lotus martial soul is very compatible with my healing abilities."

"In the human world, the Snow Lotus is also one of the top-tier martial souls, rated at the same level as top-tier body martial souls such as the brain."

The benefits of transforming and rebuilding her cultivation further diluted Bi Ji's anxiety.

She also took out a Hundred-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus.

She transferred all of her own power into the Snow Lotus, staying close beside Di Tian as she began her transformation.

Of the three powers intersecting within the cave dwelling, one was life energy, which was also highly suited to her transformation.

There was no natural sunlight in the cave dwelling; it was supported entirely by light elements.

As a result, even the sense of time passing was weakening.

Outside the cave dwelling.

Great changes had occurred.

The Elf Queen refined the three god-level experts, along with all the corpses of the foreign enemies, into pure life essence and released it into the world of Elf Planet.

The effects of the god-level experts' life essence were immediate. The entire cultivation environment of Elf Planet had clearly improved.

This was especially true for the young prodigies who had entered Elf Planet. They sensed it very clearly—Elf Planet obviously possessed a cultivation environment superior to that of an administrative planet.

Shrek's exclusive spaceship.

"Not bad." A youth carrying a sharp sword walked toward the spaceship, marveling at Elf Planet's cultivation environment.

"Even if we come to teach at the Elf branch in the future, we won't have to worry too much about cultivation."

"Yes," a young girl in fiery red said from the side, chiming in.

"Though it can't compare to Eternal Sky City, the extra rewards offered for teaching at the Elf branch in the future should make up for the loss."

Her figure swayed upon the land of Elf Planet, a beauty in the bloom of youth, like a willow bending in the wind.

However, the young man holding a sharp sword in his arms seemed rather unwilling to get close to the girl in red, and instead preferred to stay closer to another girl.

The two of them were the most talented among Shrek's many current students, including those of the inner court.

Ye Moyong and Chen Wuzhu.
