Chapter 860: The Official Launch

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Inside Heaven Refining Cauldron, Wu Qi and Princess Zhang Le’s bodies were joined as one. Led by Wu Qi, they were making a breakthrough for the realm of Dao Breaking.

If it was Wu Qi alone, he would have long made the breakthrough. But he had to bring the princess together, and that required him to pour in a hundred times more effort. Fortunately, the princess was cultivating the Primordial Dao of Divinity. Unlike immortals and buddhas, she did not have to face any bottlenecks. So long as she had a sufficient aptitude and had accumulated enough energy, the breakthrough would come naturally to her. If it was another female immortal, it would not be so easy for Wu Qi to help her break through the realm of Dao Breaking, even if he was willing to spend all his blood essence.

Princess Zhang Le sat cross-legged on Wu Qi’s body. Their bodies had turned into two masses of foggy purple mist. Primal Purple Energy flowed back and forth between them, and a scorching hot, purple-and-gold divine power had transformed into a large vortex amid the purple mist, crazily devouring the natural energy from the surroundings. The energy in the entire spirit cave was almost completely sucked away by them, leaving none for others. Even though the pyramid was constantly drawing energy from Liangzhu, it was not enough to support both of them.

Ao Buzun and others scrambled to pile up a large number of immortal stones next to the cauldron. But no matter how many supreme-grade immortal stones they placed there, all were sucked clean in a flash. Luo Le and others had left the spirit cave and went to various mountains across Dong Hai to mine immortal stones for the couple. With their cultivation bases of Primordial Immortals, they were able to pull out all the immortal stones in all the energy veins within hundreds of thousands of miles with just a wave of their hands. But even with a dozen Primordial Immortals working tirelessly to collect immortal stones for them, it was still not enough for Wu Qi and Princess Zhang Le.

Luckily, Wu Qi still had Yuan Ling Dark Realm in his body. When the energy in the outside world could no longer fulfill their needs, he began to extract the energy essence from the energy vein in it. A vast stream of Yuan Ling energy rushed endlessly into his body. He carefully converted them, before slowly sending them over into the princess’s body. She did not cultivate the techniques of body cultivator, but nourished by this energy, her flesh became stronger and tougher all the same.

A deep roar rang out. The purple mist surrounded Wu Qi suddenly transformed into ninety-nine ganoderma-shaped clouds, swirling restlessly around him. A beam of dull golden light with a hint of dark purple slowly shone out of his crown, forming into a ring of light that looked like a sun behind his head.

At the same time, Princess Zhang Le’s body shivered. Immovable Lotus, Cardinal Tower, and Heart Seal, the three Chaotic Spirit Artifacts revealed themselves together. She too had a beam of light that looked exactly like Wu Qi’s shot out from the top of her head, in which nine avatars of Ancient Gods could be faintly seen. As soon as they made their appearance, they exuded a terrible, suffocating divine pressure.

Wu Qi slowly opened his eyes and clenched his palms into fists. The velocity of time controlled by Dark Yin Celestial Tower had been silently accelerated to twenty-thousandfold. Then, he looked up to the sky with wisps of purple mist drifting out of his eyes. The Chaotic Divine Eyes had evolved to Primal Dharma Eyes. Now, nothing in the entire universe could escape from his gaze, unless it was obscured with magic by some almighty experts whose cultivation bases were on the same level as his.

“Well, I can’t believe the few old foes of mine are still alive! Ha, and they seem to live in comfort!” The purple mist in his eyes flashed and disappeared as Wu Qi retracted all his aura. He and Princess Zhang Le had both made the breakthrough at the same time, stepping firmly on the sixth tier of the Divine Gold Immortal realm, which was also the lowest tier of the Dao Breaking realm. With their current cultivation bases, even if the Great Tribulation of the Heavenly Dao was descended upon them, they were strong enough to strike back. The so-called Dao Breaking meant that one had the possibility to destroy the Heavenly Dao, and transcend the restriction imposed by the Heavenly Dao.

The princess opened her eyes too. She bent down to kiss Wu Qi on the forehead, then frowned and sighed. “Now that we have come to this level, it will be an awfully long time before we can break through to the next realm. Unless we can cultivate in You Xiong Plain.”

The amount of energy required to break through all the nine tiers of the Primordial realm was an intimidating number. Wu Qi had to refine two-thirds of K?itigarbha’s energy, only then he was able to bring Princess Zhang Le and himself to the peak of the first tier of Primordial realm. And it only got worse when they were making the breakthrough from the realm of Primordial to the realm of Divine Gold. Even though they did not have to face any bottlenecks, just the accumulation of energy alone had plagued them for a long time.

If it had not been for Wu Qi extracting the essence of the energy vein in Yuan Ling Dark Realm, and ending up paying the price of its near total destruction, he would not be able to gather enough energy for he and the princess to make the breakthrough. Now, the energy vein was almost completely drained. To restore it to its original state, he would have to supply it with a great number of energy veins seized from the outside world. Otherwise, it would take it at least hundreds if not thousands of eons to slowly recover.

Wu Qi helped Princess Zhang Le to her feet and cleaned themselves with pure water he summoned with a wave of his hand. After that, they changed into fresh clothes. Wu Qi was wearing the garb of Great Yu’s King, while the princess wore the robe of Great Yu’s Supreme Oracle. As he put on the clothes, he chuckled and said, “We should be grateful to be able to break through into the realm of Dao Breaking in such a short amount of time. Now is not the time to do it, but when the world is truly in chaos, no one could stop us from progressing at high speed.”

Just now, when he glanced the universe with his Dharma Eyes, Wu Qi had discovered the cave abodes that belong to several of his old acquaintances, hovering in the void right over Pangu Continent. Their cultivation bases had not advanced as rapidly as Wu Qi’s, but rather, they had been accumulating their overall strength bit by bit, all by themselves. These old fogies had existed countless of eons before Pangu created the world, and although they had been working hard for countless of years, they had only managed to step into the realm of Dao Breaking, still a distance away from the realm of Dao Fusing. Compared to them, the progress of the couple was considered insane, and they should not ask for more.

Of course, with the Scroll of Stealing and the thread of innate thievery energy, if Wu Qi was bold enough, it was possible for him to reach the peak-level of Dao Breaking realm in just hundreds of years. But with the white mouse’s tragic end as the lesson, he dared not to act so wantonly. Although many of those who killed the white mouse had fallen, some still exist today. He believed that if he were to kill Primordial Immortals and Divine Gold Immortals and steal their cultivation bases like the white mouse, in just a year he would be chased after by all the almighty experts in the universe.

He could not go You Xiong Plain either. He could absorb all the energy he wanted in the underground spirit cave in Dong Hai, using the excuse that Dong Hai was training too many armies. But as he was now a Dao Breaking expert, if he were to cultivate there, he could cause a negative impact to the energy in the entire You Xiong Plain. He did not want to be hunted by the few backers of Great Yu, including Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor, and Shennong, the Yan Emperor, because he could neither fight them back or scold them.

Although in his previous life he was a Chaos Fiend God, he had been reincarnated as a human being in this life, and he truly regarded himself as the descendant of the human race now. After all, his previous incarnation, Lord Yuan Ling, had lived a boring life. In this life, as a human, he had so many people and things to worry and care about that he had to be more cautious in whatever he was doing.

He gave the princess a gentle slap on her hip, heaved a long sigh and said, “We have to be patient. A moment ago, I saw those immortal officials and Celestial Lords of Heaven are setting up something interesting in outer heavenly realms. The chaos is coming. As soon as the world is in turmoil, we’ll have a chance to do it!”

Grinning coldly, Wu Qi narrowed his eyes and said, “You and I do not have to face any bottlenecks in attainment. What we lack is only the accumulation of energy. When the time comes, the Primordial Immortals from the Heaven, the Buddhas from the Buddhism League, the Great Heavenly Ghost Kings from the Ghost Realm, the Fiend Lords from the Fiend Realm, and the Demon Emperors from the Demon Realm, they are all there for us to capture, and we will turn all their cultivation bases to ours!”

Even the white mouse could reach the peak realm of Dao Breaking in just a few hundred years, how could Wu Qi be weaker than him?

And the white mouse was all alone, acted so recklessly and offended too many people. Wu Qi was surrounded by many people in this life; he had many good friends and loyal subordinates, and he knew more cunning means. He would never repeat the same mistake the white mouse did.

As he gave a cold laugh, eighteen figures rushed out from the top of his heads. After being refined and tempered by the Heaven Refining Cauldron, the impurities in his clones, the eighteen Blood-draining Celestial Fiends, had all been removed. They now looked like eighteen immortals with great virtues, each shrouded in immortal aura, and all possessed the cultivation bases of first-tier Primordial Immortals.

It was a pity that Wu Qi had only cultivated for a relatively short amount of time. Although these clones were strong, he did not have time to equip them with weapons. They did not even have a Primordial Artifact, let alone Primal Supreme Artifacts or Chaotic Spirit Artifacts. This made them could This had prevented them from fighting to their full potential. So long as he could solve this, Wu Qi was confident to deal with those old fogies.

“No matter what are they trying to do, it will not do for them to not share the prize with me!” said Wu Qi with a cold grin. Heaven Refining Cauldron turned into a beam of dark light and shot into his forehead, staying there in a faint mark of a rounded cauldron.

In the center of the spirit cave, the pyramid was constantly spraying out energy. After running low for almost two years, the level of energy had resumed to normal, and the soldiers, generals, immortals, and Oracles of Dong Hai had resumed their normal training once again.

Lu Chengfeng and other civil officials of Dong Hai swarmed over in a hurry, handing all the recent official letters to Wu Qi.

Princess Zhang Le took all the letters and quickly went through them, while Wu Qi clasped his hands behind his back, smiled and looked at the soldiers undergoing training. It was a pleasing sight. So many heroes from the warring state period were drilling the soldiers. Bai Qi, Wang Jian, Meng Tian, Li Xin, Wei Liao, Li Mu, Lian Po, Zhao Kuo, Yue Yi...

It was truly a pleasing sight!

As these famous generals were drilling the soldiers, Guigu’zi, Xu Fu, Mo Di, Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Li Si, Xu Fu, and other famous strategists were teaching Dong Hai’s Oracles all kinds of cunning tricks and strategies. Wu Qi listened to them for a moment, and what he heard made his heart raced.

No matter it was Great Yu, Heaven, or Buddhism League, they always fought their enemies openly. But when he heard what Guigu’zi and others were teaching the Oracles, Wu Qi could not help but feel sorry for those who would fight Dong Hai’s army in the future. They would die miserably and in grievances, wouldn’t they?

He suddenly realized that he had made an absolutely wise decision to forcibly gather up all the people of the six states.

Just then, Princess Zhang Le cried out in alarm. Hurriedly, he turned to look at the official letter in her hand.

“Three hundred of the nearest outer heavenly realms are flying towards Pangu Continent at high speed!”
