Faint divine light lingered around Jiang Xiaofan's body. His body was submerged in the Immortal Transformation Lake, and the greyish light of the Dao Source enveloped him. Strand after strand of light entered his body, refining his flesh and strengthening his cultivation.
"Buzz!"
Specks of light swirled around his body like the most perfect stars.
He already had three sources of the Dao in his body, so the speed of refining the Dao Source was much faster than before. Even so, it was still a Dao Source, and it would take him at least half a month to completely refine it.
"Condense!"
He closed his eyes and whispered. His hands moved, guiding the Dao Source into his body.
In the depths of his body, there were two huge "reincarnation" characters, which were like two holy ponds. The light of the source of the Great Path was drawn into his body and slowly gathered in these two characters, which were as calm as a mirror of holy light.
"This Reincarnation, what exactly is …"
Jiang Xiaofan's divine sense stood above the "Reincarnation" characters, and he was a bit confused.
He could see that the two characters were immersed in his body. There were dense meridians all around him that connected his entire body. He had obtained a heaven-defying divine ability from the "Reincarnation" characters, but he still didn't understand what this "Reincarnation" character represented.
What exactly was Reincarnation?
He frowned and racked his brains, but he still couldn't figure it out.
"Forget it, I'll find out in the end."
In the end, he shook his head.
The greyish light of the Source of the Dao was still flowing into his body. He drew out a small portion of it to temper his flesh and blood, causing his body to become even stronger and more crystalline. It was filled with a divine and ethereal feeling. At the same time, his cultivation was slowly increasing, and he was infinitely close to the Luo Tian Eighth Heavenly Layer.
Just like that, time slowly passed …
"Boom!"
Eighteen days later, the Immortal Transformation Lake violently trembled. The Dao Source's light disappeared, and a majestic force surged out.
This force naturally came from Jiang Xiaofan's body. In these eighteen days, he had completely absorbed the Dao Source's power at the bottom of the Immortal Transformation Lake. His body automatically circulated with a faint sacred light, and there was a strange aura. He slowly opened his eyes and felt that everything between heaven and earth had become clearer.
"I'm only one step away from the Eighth Heaven of Luo Tian."
He clenched his fists.
At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the Immortal Transformation Lake, but the surrounding lake water was unable to approach him at all. It was completely supported by the aura he naturally released, leaving behind a spacious area.
"I have four Dao Origins now. I only need two more to complete it."
He muttered to himself.
His eyes flickered with light. He already had four Dao Sources, and he only needed two more to be able to truly unleash that heaven-defying Great Divine Ability. At that time, even if he hadn't reached the Sacred Heavenly Realm, he would still possess the battle prowess to challenge the Sacred Heavenly Emperor. Once that technique was unleashed, the heavens and earth would be thrown into chaos.
"Shua!"
In the distance, a beam of immortal light flashed.
A faint light flashed across Jiang Xiaofan's eyes. He slightly shook his right leg, and a circle of silver light spread out. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a giant hand that pushed away the lake water and grabbed a Deity Root. This Deity Root was shaped like a divine bird, like a phoenix that wanted to spread its wings and soar. It kept struggling in his hand.
As a result, a rich fragrance spread out, causing people to feel refreshed.
"I didn't expect there to be a Divine Herb here."
Jiang Xiaofan chuckled.
Although the divine medicine couldn't cultivate, it was still the darling of the world. Its escape technique was unparalleled, and very few people could catch it. Only true masters could catch it. Jiang Xiaofan's current cultivation was already unfathomable. In addition, he had a peerless technique like the Spirit Attraction Technique. Naturally, he could easily catch this divine medicine.
"Whoosh!"
The Divine Herb kept struggling in his hand, as if it was a little scared.
"Don't be afraid, little guy. I won't eat you. You'll follow me from now on. You just need to give me a drop of Divine Herb essence every month, and I'll protect you."
Jiang Xiaofan said.
As if it could understand his words, the struggle of the Deity Root in his hand suddenly weakened.
Divine Herbs were spiritual roots of heaven and earth. Although they couldn't take human form, they generally had their own consciousness. If cultivators devoured them, there would be endless benefits. Moreover, generally speaking, if cultivators caught them, they would directly devour them. If they directly destroyed them, they would die.
However, Jiang Xiaofan said that he wouldn't eat it. He only asked it to give him a drop of Divine Herb essence every month, and he would protect it on his own. This made the despairing Divine Herb calm down. One had to know that things like Godly Medicines were very dangerous even if they existed in the world. They only had escape techniques and no battle prowess. They had to worry about being caught by experts at any time because they would be directly devoured after being caught. Not everyone would be like Jiang Xiaofan.
Jiang Xiaofan caught it, but he wouldn't devour it. Naturally, it felt a lot more at ease.
Most importantly, it could vaguely sense Jiang Xiaofan's combat power. He was really very strong. Jiang Xiaofan said that he would protect it, then perhaps he really could protect it completely. It would no longer have to be on tenterhooks every day. As for giving it a drop of Divine Herb essence every month, that was nothing to it. It wouldn't harm its Divine Herb body.
It could continue to grow. Perhaps it could evolve into a Saintly medicine!
Whoosh, whoosh!
Its branches swayed slightly, as if asking Jiang Xiaofan if what he said was true.
"I won't lie to you."
Jiang Xiaofan said with a smile.
He let go of the Spirit-Guiding Hand Seal that was holding the Deity Root, and pointed at his shoulder.
The Deity Root was a Divine Herb, so it obviously could understand Jiang Xiaofan's meaning. It hesitated for a moment, then jumped up. A strand of its foundation stretched out, and tied Jiang Xiaofan's hair.
"Then let's go."
Jiang Xiaofan said.
Immortal light flowed around his body. He slowly rose from the Deity Transformation Lake and came to the surface of the lake.
Divine Herbs like Divine Herbs didn't need to take root in the soil. They only needed to absorb the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth to grow. Therefore, there was no problem for them to stay on Jiang Xiaofan's shoulder. Jiang Xiaofan didn't need to worry about anything at all.
He stood on the Deity Transformation Lake and looked at the Divine Lake for a long time without saying anything.
He still vaguely remembered what the Divine Bird Bi Fang said before it left. It said that it would do its best for this galaxy in the last two hours. At that time, it said it very calmly, as if it was something that should be done. It was a simple thing.
But, was it really simple?
"What is an Emperor? What is an Emperor? The Heavenly Masters of the Nine Heavens can ignore all living things in the world. The Venerables of the Chaotic Race can slaughter all living things, but they are still Emperors, still Emperors. The so-called Emperors have great courage. What is courage? It's just the courage to sacrifice for all living things in the world. "
Jiang Xiaofan muttered calmly.
He looked in the direction where the Divine Bird Bi Fang left. There was pity in his eyes, but more than that, there was respect.
There were some things that he couldn't do, but he respected those who could do it.
He looked at the Deity Transformation Lake one last time, then went around the sealing stele left by the Demon Emperor and walked out of the Deity Transformation Lake. Not long after, he saw the edge of the Deity Transformation Lake. He saw the towering tree with a few tall figures standing next to it.
Seeing these people, he was slightly surprised.
But very quickly, this strand of surprise vanished, and he took another step forward.
"Young Master?!"
Exclamations sounded. A few figures flashed in front of the tree.
They were Long Qiong, Liu Ying, and the other two Demon Kings.
Not long ago, the Divine Bird Bi Fang was reborn. Its shocking Emperor's aura spread throughout the entire Demon Ancestral Star, causing countless Demon Race cultivators to worship it, including Liu Ying and the others. After the Divine Bird Bi Fang was reborn, it charged towards the Ninth Heaven. Liu Ying and the others followed the Emperor's aura and came here. However, because of the sealing stele left in the Deity Transformation Lake by the current Demon Emperor, they couldn't enter and could only wait here.
"Young Master, why are you here?"
Long Qiong was surprised.
He wasn't the only one. The three people beside him were also surprised.
After all, not long ago, the Demon Emperor's aura was emitted.
"Looking for something."
Jiang Xiaofan said.
Long Qiong was stunned. Then, he remembered that Jiang Xiaofan had mentioned this before.
Suddenly, one of the Demon Kings next to him stared at Jiang Xiaofan's shoulder. His eyes widened in shock.
"This is?"
He stared at Jiang Xiaofan's shoulder.
Long Qiong didn't notice it before. Now that he followed the Demon King's gaze, he was shocked.
"This is … a divine herb?"
He was a little shocked.
One had to know that divine herbs were extremely rare. Even the King Of Luo Tian had a hard time obtaining them.
He was naturally shocked to see a divine herb.
"Yes."
Jiang Xiaofan nodded.
"Congratulations, Young Master."
Long Qiong was a little happy. Obviously, he thought that Jiang Xiaofan was looking for this divine herb.
Although he was shocked that Jiang Xiaofan found a flawless divine herb in the Deity Transformation Lake, his shock was soon replaced by an even more excited feeling. The Demon Emperor Guardian looked at the Deity Transformation Lake, then at Jiang Xiaofan. He asked excitedly, "Young Master, did you see … see …"
He was so excited that he was even speaking incoherently.
Jiang Xiaofan naturally knew what it was thinking, and naturally knew why they were here.
"I saw it."
He nodded.
He sighed when he thought of the Divine Bird. He felt his head become heavier.
"You saw it? Then, then … "
Long Qiong and the others were all excited.
They looked at Jiang Xiaofan, their faces full of hope.
"The first Demon Emperor."
Jiang Xiaofan said.
Long Qiong and the others became even more excited.
"As expected, as expected!"
Liu Ying muttered to himself.
When the Divine Bird Bi Fang destroyed the evil spirit, the Demon Emperor's Sacred Palace had traces of the Emperor's Inscriptions, emitting a divine light. Liu Ying and the others had already guessed at that time. Now that they heard Jiang Xiaofan say the words "first Demon Emperor", they were all pleasantly surprised.
"Where's the Emperor?"
One of the Demon Emperors asked excitedly.
They did not know who the first Emperor was and had never seen him before, but they knew that there was a first Emperor in their clan. Now that the first Emperor had appeared, coupled with the Demon Emperor of this era, the battle strength of their Demon Clan would be many times stronger. Moreover, their blood was filled with respect for the first Emperor.
The four of them looked at Jiang Xiaofan with eyes full of surprise.
Looking at their hopeful and excited expressions, Jiang Xiaofan's throat moved, not knowing what to say. He was silent for a moment, then finally said softly, "It's gone."
When those three words came out, Liu Ying and the others were all stunned.
"What … do you mean …"
They were stunned.
