Be it the Midnight Flower, the Desolate Steel, or the Otherworldly Meteor, they were all located in environments that ordinary Conferred God Kings would not have been able to enter and obtain. Otherwise, Ao Feng would have already taken them away.
Even so, someone had still managed to get ahead of him. Could it be that there was another formidable figure in the Firmament?
Could it be that someone had managed to get ahead of him?
"Due to the rise of the Heaven Subjugation Monarch, all of the God Monarchs have placed the Flood of Spiritual Energy in high regard. They are willing to pay a huge price to groom talented individuals. In any case, based on what I know, our Sky of Cloud Dragon has already groomed three experts. Through the Spacetime Mirror, they were able to alter the flow of time to advance their cultivation, and they managed to become Conferred God Kings before the opening of the Flooding Sea.
"Oh?" Zhang Xuan frowned. Could it be that the God Monarchs knew that this would be the final Flood of Spiritual Energy, and that was why they were willing to pay such a huge price?
Perplexed, Zhang Xuan asked, "What are the names of the three you mentioned?"
Ao Feng pondered for a moment before replying, "Kong Shiyao, Liu Yang, and … Zhang Jiuxiao!"
"Them?" Zhang Xuan was stunned.
He had been worried that his students had been taken away by the God Monarchs, but he was relieved to know that they were doing well. Who could have thought that they would actually become Conferred God Kings?
Wasn't their rate of cultivation a little too fast?
It was fortunate that he had reached Conferred God King realm as well, or else he would have found himself weaker than his students. How awkward would that have been?
"Indeed. It's not just us. The Sky of Adamantine Gold has also groomed a formidable Conferred God King by the name of Zhao Ya. Her cultivation is unfathomable. The Sky of Blazing Sun has also groomed a Conferred God King by the name of Zheng Yang. There's also a Conferred God King by the name of Demon Monarch Qiankun called Lu Chong. He's no weaker than me. The Sky of Linglong has Wang Ying and Wei Ruyan, and the Sky of Acheron has Yuan Tao, Dan Xiaotian, and Bai Ruanqing. These God Kings have only recently been groomed by the God Monarchs. Even though they are the rising stars of the younger generation, their fighting prowess is not to be underestimated.
Oblivious to the bizarre look on Zhang Xuan's face, Ao Feng explained grimly, "Do you think that it's possible that they were the ones who stole the treasures in advance?"
"This …" Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly.
Now that he put it that way, it was possible.
He didn't know how strong the other Conferred God Realm warriors were, but if his disciples were to become Conferred God Realm warriors, with the help of the simplified Heaven's Path Divine Art and the foundation they had built up over the years, their fighting prowess would surely be the strongest among their peers!
Even Kong Shi's students might not be able to compete with him at such a young age!
It was not that his ability to impart knowledge to his students was superior to that of Kong Shi, but the heavens that they wielded were different.
The Heavens' Order allowed one to maintain order so that a cultivator could have more time to cultivate. On the other hand, the Heavens' Imperfections allowed one to point out the flaws in one's cultivation and correct them so as to better target and solve the problem.
"Every single one of them is incredibly powerful. It's one thing to deal with one or two of them individually, but if they team up with one another, it won't be easy for you to snatch the treasures back. Elder, you might be a Conferred God King of the Nine Skies, but I suggest that you not clash with them head-on, "Ao Feng said worriedly.
Fearing that Zhang Xuan would rush over to snatch the treasures from them, Ao Feng warned worriedly.
The Conferred God King of the Nine Skies was indeed powerful, but each and every one of them possessed extraordinary strength. If the few of them were to team up with the artifacts of the God Monarchs, it would be difficult for them to stand against them.
This was the main reason why the disciples of the Heaven Subjugation Monarch were so powerful that they were able to dominate the Flooding Sea. Putting aside their individual strength, what was more important was their teamwork. As long as the God Monarchs did not descend upon them personally, they would be helpless before them, let alone the Conferred God King of the Nine Skies.
"Clash with them head-on?"
Seeing that Ao Feng was worried about this, Zhang Xuan shook his head with a smile. "That shouldn't be the case."
While they were all his students, it was due to the efforts of the other God Monarchs that they were able to reach this point. On top of that, he was a low-profile person, so it would be best for him not to say anything about it.
Otherwise, if the other God Monarchs were to learn that he had worked so hard for them, it would be detrimental to his students as well.
It was best for a teacher to consider the welfare of his students.
"Other than these, are there any other formidable artifacts that you know of?"
Zhang Xuan asked. Regardless of whether it was his students who had taken the treasures or not, he knew that there was no point in dwelling on it. Thus, he turned to Ao Feng and asked.
The Flooding Sea was massive, and it would take him a long time to search for the other treasures. Thus, he could only ask those who were more experienced.
In his view, Ao Feng's cultivation was nothing much, but the fact that he was able to clear the Flooding Sea four times without dying showed that he possessed extraordinary strength.
"There's one more thing …" Ao Feng pondered for a moment before replying. "It's probably the most formidable artifact that I have ever seen. Even a God Monarch would be able to advance their cultivation if they were to obtain it. However, with my current strength, I won't be able to obtain it.
"Something that can allow a God Monarch to advance their cultivation? What's that? "
Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before his eyes lit up.
A treasure that could allow a God Monarch to advance their cultivation was something that countless experts in the Firmament would go crazy over.
A glint flashed across Ao Feng's eyes. "Epitome Monarch Pill!"
"Epitome Monarch Pill?" Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
There was no mention of such an item in the books that he had read, so it did not seem like a medicinal herb at all.
"It's a Monarch Pill!"
Ao Feng nodded.
"Pill? Why would there be a pill here? "Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
The Flooding Sea was a place of chaos, and no one lived there. How could there be a Monarch Pill here?
"Rumor has it that before the Heaven Subjugation Monarch became a God Monarch, he entered the Flooding Sea and forged it using his superior alchemy skills. Back then, I forged two of them. The first one was consumed by me, and I successfully made a breakthrough. However, due to the heavenly tribulation that I encountered during my breakthrough, the Flooding Sea suffered a huge backlash, and the pill managed to escape. Later on, the Heaven Subjugation Monarch sent his disciples over to search for it, but they were unable to find it. Thus, it ended up remaining here. While it doesn't possess the strength of a God Monarch, it's definitely stronger than a Half-God Monarch.
Ao Feng explained.
"Forged by the Heaven Subjugation Monarch?" Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in realization.
If there was anyone in this world who could refine a Monarch level pill before becoming a Monarch, it was probably this person!
After entering the Flooding Sea, he had made use of all the medicinal herbs and treasures in the area to successfully forge a medicine of this caliber and push for a breakthrough at the same time. He was the only one who was capable of such a feat.
Since the Epitome Monarch Pill is able to help a cultivator achieve a breakthrough to the God Monarch realm, if I were to find it and snatch it, would I be able to achieve a breakthrough as well?
A thought surfaced in Zhang Xuan's mind, and he clenched his fists tightly in agitation.
