Cultivation Peak
***
Cui Heng lives in Linjiang County in what is called the Heart-Nourishing Courtyard.
This is the best place in Linjiang County. It was a courtyard specially built by Pei Qingshu for planting.
Hui Shi, Zhang Shuming, Hong Kang, and Hong Shen also followed suit.
Actually, Pei Qingshu had originally planned on staying here and serving Cui Heng.
However, Cui Heng told him to return to the Pei family home.
Previously, Pei Yue misjudged the situation and caused a lot of trouble at home. He needed Pei Qingshu to deal with it.
The lakeside pavilion at the Heart Nourishing Courtyard.
Cui Heng was brewing tea.
In his 300 years in the Starter Room, he had developed an excellent tea brewing technique. Drinking the tea he brewed was also one form of enjoyment.
Hui Shi, Zhang Shuming, and Hong Kang were seated at the side.
The three of them were in different states.
Hong Kang was flattered and very agitated.
Zhang Shuming was overjoyed.
According to him, being able to drink tea brewed by an Immortal God was just an Eternal gathering.
Hui Shi's expression was much calmer. He had been by Cui Heng's side for a long time.
He had been on Cui Heng's side since Juhe County. He had seen Cui Heng use too many Immortal techniques and had been given many opportunities by Cui Heng. He was not surprised just because he drank tea.
"Come, try the tea I brewed myself." Cui Heng smiled and poured a cup of tea for the three of them.
“Thank you, Your Eternal Highness!”
"Thank you, Eternal Majesty!"
“Thank you, Your Eternal Highness!”
The three of them thanked him and drank their tea.
Soon after, their bodies underwent an incredible change.
Hong Kang felt his Inner World cultivation become complete in an instant. A strange power continued to rise in his body, and this power quickly sublimated, and he became an Immortal Human in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Shuming had the same feeling.
However, his breakthrough was even greater. He directly broke through from the God Realm to the Deva Realm.
Hui Shi naturally received the greatest improvement. He instantly leaped from the Deva blood condensing realm to the level of a Perfected Dharma Idol and reached the Heaven King realm.
All these improvements were done secretly.
There are no phenomena in the world.
Therefore, all the power needed to break through is provided by the Dharma power contained in the tea.
“Thank you, Your Eternal Highness!”
The three of them knelt down and thanked him in unison.
"All right, get up." Cui Heng waved his hand and smiled. “I'm helping you improve your cultivation this time because there's something I'd like you to do. Hui Shi..”
"Yes!" Hui Shi immediately stood up and waited at the side.
“I want you to establish a narial martial arts technique sect that you will teach will be targeted at the Heaven King realm. This can be directly announced to the public.” Cui Heng took a sip of his tea and said, "If anyone attacks, let Huo Er out."
"Yes, Eternal Majesty!" Hui Shi immediately agreed. He always followed Cui Heng's orders and never asked why.
Back in Juhe County, he had already recognized his position - becoming a sharp knife!
“Hong Kang.” Cui Heng looked at the slightly agitated old man and smiled. “Your ancestors were my first students, and also the students I cherished the most. He once had great ambitions.”
“...” Hong Kang opened his mouth, but he did not know what to say. He really doesn't know much about his ancestors.
“This ambition is to save the world. He wants every ordinary person to be able to eat until full, wear warm clothes, and sleep soundly.” Cui Heng's expression became serious.
Hong Kang was stunned when he heard this.
Then, there was confusion, followed by overwhelming shock and admiration.
He suddenly knelt down in front of Cui Heng and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, please give me a method to save the world!"
"..." - ".Cui Heng was stunned upon seeing this. He paused for a moment, then closed his eyes and sighed softly. "alright then. What I want you to do is build a new country. Can you do that?"
There were many countries in the Heavenly Void World. Besides Zhou the Great, there were also many countries of various sizes.
At this moment, the Immortal sect swept in the name of looking for people, and many countries were destroyed.
Under such circumstances, it is not impossible to establish a new state.
“I still need the help of the Perfect Zhang.” Cui Heng looked at Zhang Shuming.
“Your Eternal Highness, don't worry. I will definitely help him.” Zhang Shuming immediately agreed.
At the same time, he was a little excited. He knew that Hong Kang was a descendant of Heavenly King Hongwu back then and was very close to Cui Heng. If he could do this well, he could definitely get closer to Cui Heng.
“Thank you, Your Eternal Highness!” Hong Kang prostrated.
"Wake up." Cui Heng waved his hand and smiled.
The two things he asked Hui Shi and Hong Kang to do were not without foundation.
Instead, he was preparing for the future after destroying the Nine Immortal Sect.
After all, the Nine Immortal Sect occupied the highest power.
The world will be in chaos and people will suffer.
Rather than making amends when the time comes, it was better to make preparations early.
He had to prepare for sect and country.
Moreover, after Hui Shi established the sect, he could also recruit disciples and explore some unknown cultivation paths.
It is also beneficial for his cultivation.
It is the same for establishing a state.
In terms of implementation, nothing is more efficient than a country.
Then, Cui Heng looked at Zhang Shuming and said, Perfect “Zhang, I will stay here for a while. After I see someone, I will go to Daoyi Palace.”
The person he wanted to meet was of course Li Mingqiong. Yu Wei had returned and would report the situation in Linjiang County to him.
At that time, he will know about what happened here.
….
In the depths of the mountain was more than a thousand miles away from the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect.
Huo Si went back and forth through the dense forest.
At this moment, he held back the flames on his body and the strength of his Dharmas, turning into a slender and nimble little snake, like an ordinary beast.
Sometimes he climbs a tree, and sometimes he occupies its roots.
It was no different from an ordinary little snake.
But in reality, Huo Si's attention was focused on that hidden cave.
It's been like this since half a month ago.
This was where Cui Heng traced the roots of the Nine Elders.
The power that caused the collapse of the inner palace of the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect and buried the books in the sea of flames originated from here.
After Huo Si arrived, he felt an aura that was on par with the Golden Core realm.
It also entered the cave, but it could only walk nonstop. It was completely unable to find the actual cave inside and could only wait outside.
After all, although the Nine Fire Dragon was extremely powerful, he had never learned about formations and array restrictions. There was nothing he could do in such a situation.
Indeed, it could also directly destroy the array formation with its power, but it would definitely warn the enemy. People who have lived here may never show up again.
Hence, Huo Si had been staring out until now.
He twisted his slender snake body and crawled in front of the cave. His eyes flickered with a ferocious light as he thought, "When the person inside comes out, I will definitely burn him to ashes."
“No, I want him dead even without ashes! Aiya, that's not true. His Eternal Majesty said that we should capture him alive.. Hmph, I will spare your life because His Eternal Majesty!”
At the same time, in the cave that was deep within the cave, a golden light suddenly descended from the sky, emitting an immortal aura.
This golden light landed in front of the palace in the middle of the cave of residence.
Then, a crazy old man slowly walked out.
It was the Patriarch of the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect, who had become a Mystical God 3,000 years ago.
As soon as he came out of the golden light, a walnut-sized pimple appeared on his face. It was filled with purple-black pus. However, at the next moment, a ball of golden light appeared on his body and purified the acne, restoring his face to a withered normal state.
"Damn it, how troublesome!" The dry old man could not help but curse. He muttered, "I really don't know when I can actually refine an immortal body and become a Golden God!"
3,000 years had passed, but he was still only the Mystical God Taiyi. He had clearly seen the threshold to the Fifth Realm Gold God level, but he could not step in no matter what.
And only this step sets the world apart.
The power, status, and authority that the Gold God possessed was something that not even the thousands of Mystical Gods Taiyi could compare to.
It was a mighty figure who truly possessed Immortal True Essence.
Compared to the current Mystical God Taiyi realm that only possessed the nature of Immortal Gold, it was like the difference between gold and mud. They're completely different.
“The person above that is a half-step Golden God. May I...” A thought suddenly appeared in the old man's heart.
This time, he and the other eight Elders reported about the demons from the Underworld destroying the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect and discussed a suitable way to deal with it. However, they realized that the mighty figure of the Golden Immortal who had previously led the meeting did not appear.
Instead was a half-step Golden Immortal.
What is a half-step Golden Immortal?
It was the Mystical God Taiyi who had swallowed the Immortal True Essence and possessed the clear characteristics of the Golden Immortal. However, he had yet to fully digest the Immortal True Essence. He could only be considered to have half a foot into the Golden Immortal realm.
The reason why it was called so was because after swallowing the Immortal True Essence, one would still have to wait slowly to digest it.
This process is not short. It took at least a hundred years, or even more than 500 years.
In a state that lasted for so long and had clearly higher characteristics than Mystical God Taiyi, it was naturally divided into separate levels.
It was called "Half Eternal Golden Steps".
In theory, the Immortal True Essence within the half-step body of the Golden Immortal had yet to be fully digested and could still be refined by others.
“However, it is a Half-Step Gold God. It's not like it happened 3,000 years ago.
The dark eyes of the old man flickered with light. “The most important thing now is to go out and meet the other seven Elders and destroy those demons from the Underworld together. Otherwise, there will be endless problems.”
The reason why there were only seven Elders was because the Heavenly Cycle Star Pavilion refused to participate in this siege. Moreover, they repeatedly stressed at the meeting that the demons from the Underworld were definitely not just the powerful Mystical God Taiyi.
“That old thing from the Heavenly Cycle Star Pavilion really lived too long and became chaotic.” The old man shook his head and walked out. He chuckled and said, “Despite there being Nine Realms in the ranks of the Eternal World, there hasn't been anyone who has reached the end of the Fifth Realm since ancient times.
“Golden God is the pinnacle of cultivation. This is a well-known consensus. In the entire universe, how many Gold Gods are there? There were even very few half-step Golden Gods.
Could a small Underworld, a civilization that was only 10,000 years old, be able to produce a second consecutive Half-step Golden God? They really think too much.”
