Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog

Seeing Chen Ku’s appearance.

Shan Lingguan slowly said, "Indeed, so for many years, very few people know about this secret history. Even within our Imperial Enlightenment Sect, few people mention the relationship between Huntian Overlord Body and those two overlords. The reason is simple: before achieving Tenth Realm, one doesn’t reach that level, and after Tenth Realm... In a thousand years, no one in the Imperial Enlightenment Sect has stepped into it."

Chen Ku couldn’t help but breathe out slightly.

A master of a nation, such a level of deep resentment clearly demands reverence.

"So, therein lies the necessity for an unprecedented massive amount of Primordial Qi. Back then, in the Imperial Enlightenment Sect, an elder once reached the Nine Layers, and nearly drained a Primordial Qi Well, yet didn’t break through, instead perishing from being possessed by the Devil."

Shan Lingguan sighed.

Primordial Qi Well is a very special mineral deposit, similar to spirit vein domains - large areas of energy gathered by geographical factors of heaven and earth.

The difference is that Primordial Qi Well is rarer and harder to find than spirit mines.

The Primordial Qi Well the elder found within the sect could nearly let ten people smoothly step into Tenth Realm Primordial Heaven level but didn’t even touch the threshold of Ten Layers Huntian.

"However, for Junior Brother here, this Stone Egg is not without opportunity. Master Uncle, myself, and those two were trapped here for a year, almost raising our realms by two layers. Plus, this Stone Egg is Pei Dongliu’s Resurrection Body. You can imagine how immense the Primordial Qi within it must be, certainly exceeding the Primordial Qi contained within that old Primordial Qi Well."

Qin Yuxian spoke:

"If you can successfully obtain the Forbidden Technique Finger, then your chance of achieving Huntian Overlord Body will be much greater."

Their conversation always avoided mentioning the other two within the Stone Egg, who seemed apathetic, showing no reaction.

Chen Ku’s eyes slightly shimmered, saying, "I’ve already obtained the qualification to become a True Disciple of Destruction Tower. Next, I need to prepare to cultivate in Destruction Tower. If all goes well, soon I can rescue Master and Senior Brother from here."

As for the vast Primordial Qi resources needed to cultivate Huntian Overlord Body, Chen Ku didn’t mention it actively, but he was aware in his heart...

Besides this Stone Egg, the abilities of the Divine Eye could also help him accumulate Primordial Qi. However, the Divine Eye’s abilities might need another upgrade to store Primordial Qi, not just Spiritual Energy.

"Already obtained the True Disciple quota of Destruction Tower?"

The two were clearly surprised by Chen Ku’s speed.

"So fast?"

"Hmm, Master, Senior Brother, wait for my good news."

Chen Ku chatted a bit more with the two mentors.

He then left Hero King Realm.

Returning to his courtyard.

He glanced toward the direction of the main hall:

"Although Murong Cheng, the Hall Master’s tone was light, trying to transfer me to Destruction Tower won’t be easy. I’ll have to wait for news."

After this thought crossed his mind.

He ventured out alone, reaching near Divine Martial Mountain.

He then summoned Zhu Jianfu’s Incarnation from Hero King Realm, speaking softly to it:

"The incantations of Evil Summoning Banner have recently reached the ninth and tenth layers. Now, no one is more suited than you to use it for summoning demons. If more Demons of Ninth and Tenth Realm can be recruited, along with other abilities, one’s strength can be significantly increased."

Zhu Jianfu’s Incarnation nodded, collecting Evil Summoning Banner, holding it, and went deep into the Five Elements Mountain Range.

Meanwhile.

Chen Ku turned towards Martial Training Camp Heaven and Earth again.

Evidently, he discovered the imprints incarnations within the Martial Training Camp were more suited as locations for ’harvesting Evil Qi.’

The Martial Arts Destiny forming within contains many Tenth Realm combat powers; as long as Martial Arts Destiny endures, they can be endlessly generated.

Thus, in the following few days.

The students of Divine Martial Mountain saw their Junior Brother, who had recently fought Xue Bailiu to a draw, vigorously challenging various Tenth Realm imprints within the Martial Training Camp.

"What is Junior Brother Chen doing, going crazy with challenges!"

"I understand now, it must be due to the small tabloids in the Yan Capital, saying Junior Brother Chen’s strength isn’t enough to rank fourth on the Heroic List. Now Junior Brother Chen is proving himself."

The previous battle with Xue Bailiu shocked many in Yan Capital, but people still felt Chen Ku’s fight seemed slightly hollow.

As a result, now Chen Ku was furiously challenging opponents in the Martial Training Camp.

[Student Chen Ku, successfully challenged the Yin Mushan imprint of Tenth Realm, victory!]

[Student Chen Ku, agrees for his imprint to guard Martial Training Heaven and Earth, evaluated to possess Eleven Realm combat power, earns fifty thousand Martial Destiny monthly]

...

[Student Chen Ku, successfully challenged the Zhao Xiaoxuan imprint of Tenth Realm, victory!]

[Student Chen Ku, challenged... victory!]

Victory!

Victory!

Victory!

...

All were victorious results.

In just three days, Chen Ku easily defeated all ninety-one Tenth Realm Martial Arts imprints in the Martial Training Camp.

When this news spread.

The Nine Provinces Genius List outside Dragon Abyss immediately updated Chen Ku’s ranking.

Ranked fourth!

[Fourth place on Nine Provinces Genius List: Chen Ku, Martial Practitioner of Ninth Realm Peak, battle power of Eleven Realm...]

This ranking going out, Dragon Abyss Province was astir.

The most shocked person was, naturally, Tang Qujiang, who was originally ranked fourth on the Dragon Abyss Heroes List.

He actually...

Without competing with him, was directly assessed by the Genius List as the fourth of Dragon Abyss?

His fist clenched tightly.

Similarly,

The second person on Heroic List in Divine Soldiers City, Li Wanzhao, and the ninth, Pian Jinghong, also noticed the changes on their Martial Arts Tokens.

Though separated by thousands of miles.

As one of the top ten of Dragon Abyss, they could always see the ten names on Nine Provinces Genius List.

Hua Yuexian never changes.

The nine below also hadn’t changed in over two or three years.

Until...

Chen Ku suddenly appeared in fourth.

"Isn’t this the one from last time..."

Pian Jinghong muttered:

"Is there really someone with such cultivation speed in the world, truly another Hua Yuexian? No wonder Hua Yuexian personally went to Divine Martial Mountain..."

Clearly, they also heard of the conflict and dispute between Hua Yuexian and Chen Ku.

"Another Hua Yuexian?"

Dragon Abyss’s second, always below Hua Yuexian, Li Wanzhao, sitting on the golden throne of Ten Thousand Swords, lightning flashing in his eyes:

"It’s impossible to have another Hua Yuexian!"

...

Within Divine Martial Mountain.

The true top of Dragon Abyss, in white attire, sat serenely under a peach tree, like a Banished Immortal, the blooming peach blossoms highlighting his transcendence.

"Though it’s merely rumored to ripen every three thousand years, the nine peaches were enough to heal the injury caused by the Primordial Qi Splitting Formation."

Hua Yuexian self-talked.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, frowned and looked in one direction:

"Hmm? Where’s the Tenth Realm Water Ape guarding the Peach of Immortality?"

It turns out, when Hua Yuexian found this Five Elements of Ren Water Spirit Root Peach Tree, traditionally, Spirit Root Treasured Medicine has Spirit Beast Divine Essence guarding.

The Tenth Realm White Water Ape guarded the Peach Tree.

Born in Fighting God Palace, Hua Yuexian naturally had an endearment for apes as the palace housed a Fighting God Ape. He subdued it, letting it wear the palace’s collar to safeguard the area within a hundred miles for him.

The result...

It vanished from his spiritual sense range.

"Ran away? Impossible! Fighting God Palace’s Golden Hoop, even for a Twelve Realm demon, wearing it wouldn’t alter their mind, not to mention a little ape of Tenth Realm?"

Hua Yuexian self-thought:

"Indeed, this Five Elements Land is peculiar, let me further explore."

Upon speaking, he deeply took a breath, waved his sleeves, uprooting the Peach Tree and storing it in his sleeves, journeying into the depths of Five Elements Land.
