“`

It didn’t evoke feelings of eeriness and fear; instead, it inspired awe as if the majesty of a prison.

Chen Qing could only watch as the consciousness within the Golden Ghost Mask approached the divine image and knelt on both knees, bowing three times and kowtowing nine times to the ground with utmost reverence.

Chen Qing could sense that the consciousness in the Golden Ghost Mask did not experience any oppression nor any transformation.

It was as if this were meant to be.

It controlled its body, bowing forward, naturally—like it had practiced countless times with proficiency.

“Great Miao God, Your people beseech You!”

“They pray for Your favor!”

“Please, let Your ancient gaze fall upon Your humble subjects just this once.”

The head in the center of the statue slowly bowed, looking down at Chen Qing.

In just one glance, it pierced through the consciousness of the Golden Ghost Mask, capturing the consciousness generated by the Void Flower.

The next moment, Chen Qing felt as if the Void Flower had come to life.

What it kept repeating, changing from ‘I am the Master of the Mortal World’ to ‘I am blessed by the Miao God!’

In the next instant, everything disappeared before Chen Qing’s eyes.

It was as if Chen Qing had never ascended those endless steps nor paid homage to the Miao God, finding himself at the foot of Longevity Mountain.

Only a sword descended from the sky, landing in front of Chen Qing.

Chen Qing could clearly see the information of this sword.

Was this a means given to himself to counter cicada Gu-like spirit insects?

Chen Qing reached out, grasped the sword, and lifted the Dragon Sparrow Sword.

He bowed towards Longevity Mountain, “Thank you, Miao God.”

The temple priest asked, “What divine office did the Miao God bestow upon you?”

Chen Qing replied, “Divine Favored.”

The temple priest was slightly surprised, “Divine Favored?”

“Fellow Daoist, you truly are blessed, for the Divine Favored is exceptional—a person closest to the Miao God!”

Chen Qing chuckled and declined, saying, “The Miao God gave me an important decree, so I must go now.”

The temple priest dared not inquire what the decree was, only envying Chen Qing’s good fortune.

Strictly speaking, the Divine Favored isn’t a divine office.

It’s just an affiliation.

Just like this temple priest’s affiliation with one of the Nine Kings, the Flame King, belonging to the Flame King.

The Divine Favored is different, directly affiliated with the Miao God.

Though it has no specific divine office, it represents the will of the Miao God to some extent.

Back on the giant ship across the sea, entering his cabin, Chen Qing took out the Void Flower, which was opening and closing its petals, speaking.

“I am blessed by the Miao God!”

“What are you, to dare hold me in your hand!”

“Prepare the best nectar for me at once, I need to grow!”

“It must be fresh!”

“Hmph, you common mortal, hurry and serve me!”

“I want to bloom!”

“I want to bear fruit!”

Chen Qing picked it up and bit off two petals.

The Void Flower suddenly quieted down, “Cough cough, Sir, I was wrong, I’ll behave.”

Chen Qing said, “First stay by yourself, be quiet, or next time I’ll eat half of you.”

With a wave, he absorbed it into his body, and upon ordering the ship to set sail for the return journey, Chen Qing began to examine the Dragon Sparrow Sword.

Thinking about it, Chen Qing reached behind his head and removed a red feather.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be another spiritual item Gu.

[Spiritual Item Arrow Gu: Flame Empress]

Trait:

[Absorption]: Can absorb the Spiritual Energy burned from enemies

Xuanping would probably like it, so take it back for her.

Sealing the Flame Empress Gu in a jade bottle, storing it within, Chen Qing picked up the Dragon Sparrow Sword.

After examining it several times to ensure there were no tricks, Chen Qing began to draw the contract rune.

At first, the Harmonization, First Transformation Dragon Sparrow Sword Gu indeed was domineering; Chen Qing consumed a Spiritual Pearl before successfully contracting it.

After the contract with the Dragon Sparrow Sword, Chen Qing held the Dragon Sparrow Sword and felt his speed.

It was significantly faster than before, more than doubled.

Although still not as domineering as cicada Gu-like spirit insects, at least he now had a means to counter them.

With this approach, his current strength should be enough to contend with Yan Shiyin in battle.

Considering that day’s battle with Hao Chengtian, it should only be slightly stronger.

During this time, Chen Qing’s strength surged and should easily secure the victory.

With the Dragon Sparrow Sword, there was no need to consistently deploy Fatian Xiangdi.

In usual battles, just using the Dragon Sparrow Sword should suffice.

Fatian Xiangdi is pure power, but the Dragon Sparrow Sword encompasses both power and speed.

Of course, in terms of sheer strength, Fatian Xiangdi is undoubtedly stronger.

That was a multifold enhancement.

Next, he aimed to steadily elevate his cultivation to Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

Alongside cultivating various spirit insects.

Taking out a treasure herb, he ate it swiftly, and Chen Qing began cultivating again.

“According to this progress, another ten treasure herbs should allow a breakthrough to late Foundation Establishment.”

Strive harder, aiming to breakthrough to late Foundation Establishment before returning to Xuantian City!

With herb after herb entering his belly, Chen Qing only felt his cultivation soar.

This feeling was like when he was in the Qi Refining Realm.

It must be said, since taking up the Heavenly Destiny competition, leading the Foundation Establishment army, his cultivation resources were in abundance.

The sole consideration was how to guarantee abundant resources for the numerous Foundation Establishment cultivators following him.

He not only needed to cultivate himself to Foundation Establishment Great Perfection but also ensure the more outstanding among his Foundation Establishment followers could cultivate to Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

At that time, march with him to conquer the Death Realm.

Disembarking from the ship, Chen Qing sat on a war chariot, carried by four evil ghosts, continuing his cultivation on the chariot.

After three days, he finally cultivated to the late Foundation Establishment.

Breaking through to late Foundation Establishment, unlike the mid-Foundation Establishment, the Dantian expanded significantly.

His entire spiritual liquid became much more concentrated, the might stronger, and the magic more powerful.

With cultivation reaching late Foundation Establishment, Chen Qing also slowed his cultivation, ceasing to consume treasure herbs.

He intended to stabilize for a while, preparing to breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

The plan is to, during Lu Shenglong and Zhu Yan’s grand wedding, mobilize the entire Yan Country’s treasure herbs, transplanting them to Xuantian City or other treasure-laden sites.

This was merely a drop in the bucket; even with his ability of All Things Grow, he could only accelerate the growth of treasure herbs that take decades to mature, to just ten years.

Ten years—it can be long or short.

To Chen Qing, it already seemed long.

After all, he had only been cultivating for five years.

But given his prolonged lifespan, he could afford the wait.

However, whether Ji Dang would wait for him was an issue.

Just then, abruptly, a cultivator riding a flying sword approached the war chariot, “To report to Lord Wei, General Su has sent an urgent message!”

Chen Qing stood up, stepped out of the war chariot, “Hurry, hand it over.”

Receiving the message, Chen Qing opened it, “Hmm, the Divine Weapon Treasure Realm has finally descended!”

The Divine Weapon Treasure Realm was a small hidden world within this world, usually in a shrunken state, only appearing when the Miao God awakens.

This time, the Divine Weapon Treasure Realm must be related to the upcoming battle in the Death Realm.

It has been confirmed that in Yan Country, there are two entrances to the Divine Weapon Treasure Realm, one near the royal city, the other at Langan Mountain.

Langan Mountain has gathered numerous monsters, making it a demon mountain.

But now, Chen Qing was utterly unafraid; as long as there were no Mystic Gate Realm great demons, there was nothing to fear.

“Speed up the march, quickly return to Xuantian City!”

Regardless of the treasures within the Divine Weapon Treasure Realm, at least this part within Yan Country must be completely occupied by him, Chen Qing!

The Divine Weapon Treasure Realm not only contains a large number of weapon Gu-like spirit insects but also many treasure herbs.

With the accumulation over a millennium, even the medicinal properties made Chen Qing drool.
