165: Chapter 165 Equal Distribution of Rain and Dew
"Squelch!" The sound of a sharp blade entering flesh rang out. That incredibly sharp Demonic blade had forcibly pierced through the giant eye of the ice-blue dragon head and plunged fiercely into its fragile brain!
"Aooo—!!!" The Two-Headed Earth Nether Dragon let out a shrill, miserable wail filled with endless pain and despair. Its massive ice-blue dragon head instantly lost all luster and hung down powerlessly!
However, before dying, its other intact crimson dragon head opened its blood-thirsty maw, spewing a breath of dragon fire filled with an aura of destruction and death, fiercely sweeping across the already exhausted Zi Donglai!
"Pfft!" Zi Donglai let out a painful grunt. His entire body, like a kite with a broken string, flew backward in a sorry state. His whole body was charred black by the terrifying dragon breath, and his aura instantly withered to the extreme!
The Golden-Armored Corpse King was even more miserable. During its frantic melee with the Two-Headed Earth Nether Dragon, its entire arm had been bitten off and torn away by that crimson dragon head, causing its combat power to plummet instantly!
Both sides suffered!
These three arrogant and terrifying existences ultimately ended up in a miserable state where both sides were wounded!
And this was precisely the once-in-a-millennium, excellent Opportunity that Gao Feng had been waiting for!
"Now!"
"Big Fool! Wulu!"
"Kill them for me!!!"
He let out a thunderous roar filled with endless killing intent. Leading Big Fool and Wulu, who had been holding back their anger for so long, they resembled three of the fiercest tigers descending from the mountain, launching the final, fatal assault against the already spent Zi Donglai and the Golden-Armored Corpse King!
"You... you damn ants!" Zi Donglai glared at the three people charging toward him, his purple eyes filled with endless resentment and unwillingness!
He never dreamed that he, the number one giant of the Demonic Path, who had calculated everything, would eventually fall into the hands of these small characters who were no different from ants in his eyes!
He wanted to resist, but his body, which had already reached the end of its rope, simply would not obey him!
"Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body!"
Gao Feng drove his Physical Body to the limit, forcibly withstanding the final strike of Zi Donglai's dying counterattack. Meanwhile, the sky-splitting star river blade in his hand, carrying all his anger and killing intent, transformed into a brilliant Chaos blade light, fiercely slashing toward the already battered Golden-Armored Corpse King!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Big Fool and Wulu, like two crazed gods of war, poured all their strength without reservation onto the two terrifying existences that had already lost the power to resist!
Finally, under the frenzied siege of the three, the arrogant Demonic Lord Zi Donglai finally exhausted his last ounce of strength, collapsing to the ground with endless resentment and unwillingness!
However, he did not die immediately.
Gao Feng did not give him such a quick release. With an extremely cruel and heavy-handed technique, he severed all of Zi Donglai's Meridians, crippled all of his cultivation, and then captured him alive like a dead dog!
On the other side, the Golden-Armored Corpse King was being beaten back step by step under Gao Feng's storm-like frenzied slashes, its entire body covered in crisscrossing, terrifying blade marks, and it was on the verge of being completely destroyed!
However, at this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Gao Feng's mind. He remembered the two strange Secret Manuals he had obtained earlier in the Hundred Ghost Cave—the "Corpse Refining Art" and the "Corpse Control Technique"!
An incredibly bold and crazy idea quietly took shape in his mind!
Without any further hesitation, he bit his fingertip, using his own essential blood containing the power of Chaos as a guide. With the supreme, overbearing power of the "Myriad Dao Unity Art", he forcibly branded his own Mental Energy imprint, filled with supreme will, into the already damaged core of the Golden-Armored Corpse King!
"Submit to me!!!"
When everything settled, Gao Feng looked at the Golden-Armored Corpse King, which was respectfully kneeling on one knee before him, its pure golden pupils filled with absolute loyalty and submission, and at Zi Donglai, who was sprawled on the ground like a dead dog, his eyes filled with endless resentment and despair. A crazy smile, filled with exhaustion and relief, finally appeared on his face!
He had won. Once again, using his wisdom and courage, he had won this gamble in a death game that would have made anyone else despair!
Not only did he survive, but he also obtained unimaginable, enormous gains!
He named the seventh-rank Imperial Corpse with infinite potential that he had subdued—"Iron Guard"!
It would become his most powerful and reliable trump card and guard in the future!
When everyone returned to the already chaotic sixth floor, Gao Feng walked step by step up to the bronze throne that symbolized supreme power.
The moment his hand touched the cold armrest of the throne.
"Hum—!!!"
A massive, ancient torrent of information filled with endless wisdom instantly flooded into his mind!
He finally learned the true identity of this Imperial mummified corpse; it was actually a supreme Human Emperor from the ancient era who had swept across the eight wildernesses and unified the entire continent!
And the Legacy he left behind was not any earth-shattering, supreme Cultivation Technique, but a supreme secret method for refining "Immortal Battle Puppets" that would make even Gongshu Ban go crazy!
There was also a complete, supreme Spirit Refining Cultivation Technique that would make any Martial Artist go crazy—the "Supreme Visualization Chapter"!
This Cultivation Technique was exactly what he had dreamed of when breaking the Yin Soldier illusion earlier, a supreme method capable of truly and systematically refining Mental Energy and the Soul Origin!
"Hahaha... hahahaha..."
Gao Feng let out a burst of crazy laughter filled with endless relief. He knew that this time, he had really hit the jackpot!
He looked at Zi Donglai, who was being dragged up like a dead dog by Big Fool and Wulu, and a trace of cold madness flashed in his deep eyes!
Without any further hesitation, he immediately sat cross-legged. Using the Spirit Refining method from the newly obtained "Supreme Visualization Chapter" as the foundation, supplemented by some secret techniques from the incredibly strange "Corpse Refining Art", and using this dignified number one giant of the Demonic Path, Zi Donglai, as "Materials"!
He began an evil and overbearing refining process that would make the entire Jianghu tremble in fear!
He wanted to refine this arrogant Demonic Lord into a perfect dead soldier who belonged only to him, Gao Feng!
With his incredibly overbearing Mental Energy, he forcibly erased all of Zi Donglai's consciousness and memories, retaining only his combat instincts that were already ingrained in his bones, and an absolute loyalty to him that originated from the depths of his Soul!
Then, he used the ancient secret medicines found in the secret compartment of the throne, along with his own essential blood containing the power of Chaos, to reshape his already battered body!
Seven days later.
When Gao Feng slowly finished his cultivation, a figure with a still handsome and evil face, but whose purple eyes had lost all luster, replaced by absolute numbness and loyalty, slowly stood up from the ground.
He respectfully knelt on one knee before Gao Feng.
"Master."
A perfect dead soldier whose strength remained at the seventh-rank Early Stage, who knew no pain, feared no death, and obeyed only Gao Feng's commands—"Purple Guard"!
Was born!
Besides this, Gao Feng also found a massive amount of ancient Medicinal Pills in the secret compartment of the throne.
Although most had lost their medicinal efficacy due to the passage of time, there were still a few supreme Divine Pills preserved that would make any seventh-rank Great Grandmaster go crazy!
As well as countless rare Artifact Refining Materials that had long been extinct in the outside world, and the "Sacrifice" necessary to open the teleportation array—the method for the final activation and use of the Yin and Yang Dao Body!
When Gao Feng and the others, carrying their unimaginable, enormous gains, returned to the huge stone gate on the first floor, the ancient stone gate seemed to sense their departure and slowly opened completely to both sides.
The moment they stepped out of the stone gate, the Tongtian Pagoda, filled with endless danger and Opportunity, along with the ancient stone gate, slowly turned into specks of starlight and disappeared into the Void Realm, as if it had never appeared.
When Gao Feng returned to the already ruined Panshi Land, not only had his personal strength successfully broken through to the sixth-rank "Organ Refining" stage with the help of the massive Demon Core energy and Divine-Grade Medicinal Pills!
But he also brought back a seventh-rank Peak Imperial Corpse guard, a seventh-rank Early Stage Demonic Lord dead soldier, a supreme secret method capable of mass-producing super Puppets, and a supreme Cultivation Technique that could cause his strength to leap qualitatively once again!
A true dragon crossing the river was about to stir up a monstrous wave that would make everyone tremble in this chaotic era of great contention!
Gao Feng, carrying undisguised exhaustion and his unimaginable, enormous gains, returned to the heavily guarded Yan Kings Residence.
He didn't even have time to say a word to his wife and children who were eagerly awaiting his return, before immediately entering the spirit spring space.
Gao Feng immediately checked the stunningly beautiful figure who had fallen into a deep coma, her aura so weak it seemed it could extinguish at any moment—it was Gong Qianxue, who had sacrificed herself to save him!
Her pretty face was pale as paper, her lips devoid of any color, and the terrifying Nine Nether Cold Qi had already invaded her internal organs, completely freezing all her vitality.
Even this spirit spring water, filled with massive life energy, could only barely hold onto her last thread of life, but could not cure the terrifying cold poison that had penetrated deep into her bones.
"Qianxue..."
Gao Feng looked at her, seeing her in such a miserable state because of him, and an unspeakable sharp pain and self-reproach welled up in his heart.
He knew that if it weren't for saving him, with Gong Qianxue's elusive movement techniques, she definitely could have retreated unscathed.
"I will never let you die!"
A flash of unprecedented determination appeared in Gao Feng's eyes. He carefully laid Gong Qianxue flat on the grass by the spirit spring, then immediately took the purest spirit spring essence, pried open her bloodless lips, and slowly fed it to her.
The massive life energy surged into her body, temporarily holding onto her flickering fire of life, but the Nine Nether Cold Qi that had invaded her internal organs was like a maggot on a bone, still frantically destroying her vitality.
Gao Feng's expression sank. Without hesitation, he sat cross-legged behind her, pressed his palms against her cold back, and continuously transferred his own overbearing Chaos True Qi, attempting to forcibly drive out the cold Qi.
However, the Nine Nether Cold Qi was poisonous to the extreme, having long since merged with her Meridians and flesh.
Although Gao Feng's True Qi was overbearing, he was also wary of collateral damage, unable to completely eradicate that cold energy without damaging her body!
"Damn it!" Gao Feng growled, a flash of anxiety and ruthlessness in his eyes.
He knew that he could not delay any longer!
Without any hesitation, he immediately took out a jade box crafted from ten-thousand-year warm jade from his bosom.
As the jade box opened, a refreshing and rich medicinal fragrance instantly permeated the entire spirit spring space; just smelling it made one feel as if their very Soul was about to transcend and undergo Ascension!
Inside the jade box lay three supreme Divine Pills, each the size of a dragon's eye, flowing with nine-colored radiance and surrounded by mysterious pill patterns!
This was none other than one of the most precious ancient Divine Pills he had obtained from the hidden compartment of the Human Emperor's throne in the Tongtian Pagoda—the Nine-Turn Life-Extending Divine Pill!
This pill was a supreme life-saving treasure, refined by the ancient Human Emperor who had collected nine types of immortal divine medicines, supplemented with the Life Origin Qi from above the Nine Heavens, and spent eighty-one years to create!
Even if one had only a single breath left, consuming this pill would allow one to reshape their Physical Body and recreate vitality within nine cycles!
Gao Feng did not hesitate at all; he carefully took out one Nine-Turn Life-Extending Divine Pill, then gently pried open Gong Qianxue's cold, cherry lips, and slowly fed her the supreme Divine Pill that would make the entire Jianghu go crazy.
The Divine Pill melted upon contact, turning into a torrent of nine-colored life energy that was immeasurably purer and more vast than the spirit spring water, instantly rushing into Gong Qianxue's limbs and bones, which had long been riddled with holes by the cold poison!
"Boom—!!!!"
A terrifying life energy, indescribable in words, erupted within Gong Qianxue's body!
Before this nine-colored torrent originating from the source of life, that overbearing Nine Nether Cold Qi was like ice meeting its nemesis, emitting sounds of "hissing" as it melted, being completely purified and dispersed as if being swept away!
Her long-shattered Meridians began to rapidly reshape and reconnect under the weight of that vast medicinal power, visible to the naked eye!
Her long-failed internal organs also began to glow with renewed vitality under the nourishment of that nine-colored radiance!
Her complexion began to turn from pale to rosy, her breathing began to change from weak to long and steady, and her cold body gradually regained its former warmth and softness.
Seeing this, Gao Feng finally let out a long sigh of relief.
He knew that Gong Qianxue's life had been saved.
However, he also keenly sensed that the aura within Gong Qianxue's body was still somewhat unstable, and that vast medicinal power was still rampaging within her; if not guided, it would likely leave behind incurable sequelae.
To avoid exposing the secrets of the spirit spring space, Gao Feng did not dare to delay any longer.
He immediately moved his mind, shifting the still-unconscious Gong Qianxue out of the space, and then carefully placed her flat on the wide and soft dragon bed in his sleeping quarters.
He removed her tattered battle gear, which had been soaked through with blood and frost, revealing her beautiful body, which looked as if it had been carved from the most perfect mutton-fat white jade, without a single flaw.
Gao Feng forcibly suppressed the uncontrollable, amorous thoughts in his heart, sat cross-legged by the bed, stretched out his hands, and slowly placed them on Gong Qianxue's smooth, jade-like back.
He poured his pure True Qi, which had just broken through to the sixth stage and was full of the aura of Chaos, into her body without reservation, beginning to carefully guide the vast medicinal power that was rampaging within her, moving it slowly according to the circulation of the Meridians.
Time passed minute by minute, and when the last trace of medicinal power was completely refined and integrated into Gong Qianxue's limbs and bones, the sky outside the window had already begun to turn white.
Gong Qianxue's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes, which were always as cold as ice.
When she saw clearly that she was lying naked on a strange dragon bed, and the man she yearned for was sitting by the bed with a look of concern, his warm, large hands still tightly pressed against the most sensitive skin on her back, her cold, pretty face "boomed," instantly flushing with two blushes of color that could make the heavens and earth lose their luster!
"M... Master..."
Her voice was as thin as a mosquito's, full of endless shyness and panic.
She struggled to get up to salute, but she couldn't summon the slightest bit of strength in her whole body; instead, because of this violent movement, the brocade quilt covering her slipped a little, revealing the more thrilling snow-white spring scenery on her chest.
"Don't move, your injuries have just healed, and you are still very weak."
Gao Feng's gentle voice and the warm aura continuously transmitted from his palms made Gong Qianxue's heart, which had always been as still as an ancient well, beat wildly and violently at this moment, as if a huge stone had been thrown into a calm lake!
The atmosphere in the entire sleeping quarters became incomparably ambiguous and amorous at this moment.
She dared not move again, and could only shyly bury her pretty face deep into the soft pillow, saying softly in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Tha... thank you Master for saving my life... Qianxue... Qianxue has no way to repay you..."
"Rest well; that is the best repayment to me."
Gao Feng looked at her cute appearance, which was as enchanting as a ripe red apple, and his heart moved, unable to help but laugh and tease.
He slowly withdrew his hands, then carefully pulled up the brocade quilt for her, covering the seductive spring scenery that would make any man go crazy.
After doing all this, Gao Feng slowly stood up and walked out of the sleeping quarters, knowing that some things could not be rushed.
The moment he pushed open the door of the sleeping quarters, he was greeted by the beautiful faces, full of worry and longing, that had been waiting outside the door for a long time.
"Husband!"
"Your Highness!"
Su Yue, Luo Qin, Aiyire, Li Qingzhao... all the wives and concubines rushed towards him like fledglings returning to the forest!
Their eyes were filled with tears of survival and unconcealable, deep love.
"Husband, you are finally back! Do you know how worried we were about you!"
Su Yue tightly hugged Gao Feng's solid arm, burying her pretty face deep in his chest; the longing and worry that had been suppressed for months finally turned into hot tears at this moment, which could not be stopped.
"Alright, alright, didn't I come back safely?"
Gao Feng smiled and patted her on the back, then gathered her, Luo Qin, and the others into his arms one by one, enjoying this long-lost tenderness and fragrance.
"Daddy! Hug!"
"Daddy!"
Just then, several childish and happy calls came from not far away.
I saw Eldest Son, Second Son, and Gao Changgong, those tiger-headed little fellows, stepping on their still-stumbling short legs, staggering towards him.
Behind them followed Luo Yueming, who had just learned to walk not long ago and was like a porcelain doll carved from powder and jade.
Gao Feng looked at his cute children, and his heart, which had long been tempered to be as hard as iron by endless slaughter and conspiracies, completely melted at this moment.
He laughed loudly, bent down, and lifted his children high one by one, enjoying this rare family happiness that he was willing to give everything to protect.
That night, the inner courtyard of the Yan Kings Residence was decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, and a family banquet was set up.
Gao Feng sat with all the women, enjoying the fun.
He vividly told the women about the thrilling adventures of this trip to the Tongtian Pagoda.
When they heard about the immortal ghost army, all the women turned pale and broke into a cold sweat for him.
When they heard about the indestructible bronze Puppet, they couldn't help but let out bursts of exclamations.
And when they heard about the Nine Nether Earth Underworld Dragon, which was comparable to the Peak of the seventh stage, and the demonic Zi Donglai, they were so nervous that they even forgot to breathe, their beautiful eyes staring fixedly at Gao Feng, for fear of hearing any bad news from his mouth.
Until the end, when they heard that Gao Feng had made a Heaven-Defying comeback in a desperate situation, not only successfully killing all the powerful enemies but also gaining unimaginable huge harvests, they finally let out a long sigh of relief, and then burst into cheers full of worship and joy!
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes.
Gao Feng smiled mysteriously and took out the supreme treasure he had obtained in the fourth-layer illusion—the Seven Emotions Illusion Heart Stone.
The strange crystal, which presented a seven-colored glazed color throughout, emitted a soft and peaceful light the moment it appeared.
Just by being illuminated by that light, the women felt that their minds, which had become a little nervous from listening to the thrilling stories, instantly became clear and bright, as if washed by the clearest spring water, which was indescribably comfortable.
"This object is called the 'Seven Emotions Illusion Heart Stone', it is a supreme strange treasure that can temper the state of mind and destroy the Heart Demon."
Gao Feng explained with a smile, "In the future, I will place it in the center of the pavilion in the inner courtyard garden. You can often sit there and meditate, which will be of great benefit to your state of mind and cultivation."
Saying that, he took out several ancient spirit fruits obtained from the Tongtian Pagoda, which, although most of their medicinal effects had been lost, still had the effect of reborn transformation for Mortals, and distributed them to the women.
"Wow! Husband, this fruit is so fragrant!"
"After eating it, I feel like my skin has become better!"
"Thank you, Husband!"
The women were like children who received their favorite toys, all beaming with joy and unable to put them down. Especially Aiyire, who was full of exotic style, and the clever Li Qingzhao, were seeing such magical treasures for the first time, and their beautiful eyes were full of brilliance.
A family banquet, until late at night.
And Gao Feng did not favor one over the other; in the following days, he devoted all his energy to "drenching with rain and dew equally" and "hard work and cultivation" for the women in the harem.
