249: After breaking, he stood up and condensed the Qing Emperor's Dharma image

From the deep pit, that figure stood up, stretched, and his bones let out a cracking, grinding sound, as if he hadn't moved for a long time.

“Hoo~”

Chu Jiang exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi and looked in the direction of the Enan Forbidden Land; the towering giant tree was still there.

It stood majestically, piercing the clouds, like a giant pillar between heaven and earth; its trunk was incomparably thick, its surface covered with traces of a great war, its bark rough and cracked, and its branches mostly withered, drooping weakly to the ground.

How long had he been asleep?

“Panel update complete, do you wish to view it!”

In his mind, the System's voice suddenly rang out.

“Yes!”

The panel floated up.

“First, the upper limit for the Fusion Martial Arts module has been raised to the Rongtian Realm.”

“Second, the panel's Martial Arts deduction has activated the Travel function, covering a radius of one hundred thousand miles; the host's Cultivation of Cultivation Technique Martial Arts is no longer confined to one place.”

“Third, the range of the Investigation Skill has expanded, and investigating Heaven And Earth Treasure will no longer require demon life essence.”

“Fourth, a new Mission module has been added.”

“This truly is an unprecedented major update!”

A smile appeared on Chu Jiang's face; the panel's Martial Arts deduction could only be done in one place, but this limitation was finally improved. From now on, his Cultivation efficiency would greatly increase.

The Investigation Skill, that's also good.

Inspecting treasures in various treasure lands and Secret Realms would no longer incur a fee.

“Oh, that iron box I got from the Purple Flame Demon Sect earlier!”

As Chu Jiang spoke, he took out the rusty iron box from his purple gold gourd. This item had required one hundred thousand demons to investigate at the time, making it extremely mysterious.

He directly used his Investigation Skill to scan it.

“Do you wish to spend three hundred thousand demon life essence to view it?”

What?

Didn't it say it could investigate Heaven And Earth Treasure?

And why the hell did the price go up!

“The contents of the iron box far exceed the scope of the current Realm and do not belong to Heaven And Earth Treasure. The upper limit of the Investigation Skill is closely related to the host's Rank; as the Realm improves in the future, the consumption will also decrease!”

So that's how it is.

Chu Jiang opened his attribute panel.

“Realm: Peerless Grandmaster.”

“Talent: Beyond Mortal (One-star).”

…

“demon life essence: Eighteen thousand years.”

“Own Lifespan: Three hundred years.”

…

Chu Jiang was startled.

His Cultivation had already dropped to Peerless Grandmaster; no wonder the consumption didn't decrease but increased. This battle with the Demon Pú Tree resulted in heavy losses.

The only reason he survived was thanks to the He Xuanzaohua Dan given by the Demon Suppression Division, which preserved his vitality.

Otherwise, it would have been normal for him to have died directly.

Because of this, his talent unexpectedly broke through to Beyond Mortal.

And the thirteen thousand years of Lifespan should have come from the Demon Pú Tree.

It wasn't without Harvest.

He opened the last Mission module.

“Mission module activated.”

“The Mission module is dedicated to cultivating the host into the First Emperor of all time.”

“The host only needs to complete the tasks on the Emperor's Path to obtain various Cultivation Technique, Martial Arts, Medicinal Pill, and other rewards. Martial Arts obtained from the Mission module will instantly reach Major Achievement, and Cultivation Technique will directly reach Minor Achievement.”

“Emperor's Path Activation Mission: Use the Jianmu Divine Tree and the remaining body of the Demon Pú Tree as seeds to condense the Azure Emperor Dharma Form.”

“Mission Reward: Heavenly Peng Step.”

“Mission Failure: Three Male Enhancement Pills.”

…

“Instant Major Achievement?”

“Azure Emperor Dharma Form!”

Chu Jiang murmured to himself.

He guessed that the Mission module was the biggest update, no wonder it took seventy-two hours, several times longer than the previous two updates.

He didn't have to Cultivate Martial Arts from scratch, which was comfortable.

Also, he had coveted the Azure Emperor Dharma Form for a long time. It increased combat power tenfold and virtually granted an immortal body. If he had the Azure Emperor Dharma Form during his confrontation with the Demon Pú Tree, the Demon Pú Tree would have been easily suppressed by him.

To condense the Azure Emperor Dharma Form using the Azure Wood Emperor Skill, besides condensing it with peerless talent, there was another path: using ancient and powerful tree seeds, such as ancient Bodhi trees, or peerless treasure trees like the Jianmu Divine Tree.

This was also the reason for his adventure.

And this Heavenly Peng Step, it's actually a Qiankun Level movement technique, let's get started directly.

“Due to your Breaking Through After Establishing Yourself, your talent has improved, and your path to re-Cultivation is unobstructed.”

“In the eightieth year, you Break through to the Transcendent Realm.”

“In the one hundred and thirtieth year, you Break through to Golden Core second stage.”

…

“In the nine hundredth year, you Break through to the Divine Power Realm.”

“In the one thousand two hundredth year, you Break through to Divine Power second stage.”

…

“In the six thousand seven hundredth year, you Break through to Divine Power tenth stage.”

…

“In the nine thousandth year, you successfully condensed the Azure Emperor Dharma Form using the Fusion body of the Jianmu Divine Tree and the Demon Pú Tree as a seed, entering Faxiang first stage.”

“Azure Emperor Dharma Form: Can provide a tenfold combat power boost to the main body, can fight independently, equivalent to the main body's second Clone, comes with an immortal body, shared with the main body.”

“This Azure Emperor Dharma Form is indeed powerful. Strictly speaking, it is already considered the main body's Dharma Form, and its combat power is swift and fierce. This immortal body can also be shared with the main body, truly Heaven-Defying.”

Chu Jiang said in a low voice.

demon life essence continued to be infused.

“In the ten thousandth year, you Break through to Faxiang second stage.”

“In the thirteen thousandth year, you Break through to Faxiang third stage.”

“In the sixteen thousandth year, you Break through to Faxiang fourth stage.”

“Due to re-Cultivating the Azure Wood Emperor Skill, you achieved Perfection ahead of time, unlocking Grass and Trees as Soldiers, Wood Emperor Domain, Spring Wind Wood Spirit, and Azure Emperor Seal.”

“Grass and Trees as Soldiers: Every blade of grass and every tree can transform into a super soldier to fight for you.”

“Wood Emperor Domain: Within a certain range, it forms its own Domain, Dominating heaven and earth.”

“Spring Wind Wood Spirit: Can be used for healing, Alchemy, strengthening the Physical Body, etc.”

“Azure Emperor Seal: The most powerful Seal that comes with the Azure Wood Emperor Skill, with immense power.”

“demon life essence: Two thousand years.”

“Own Lifespan: Two thousand five hundred years.”

…

Chu Jiang opened his eyes, his Aura terrifying like a tide, sweeping across heaven and earth.

Besides being strong, he was still strong.

His Lifespan increased by five hundred years after reaching Perfection. It is estimated that it will directly exceed three thousand years after advancing to Transcendent. This Azure Wood Emperor Skill truly grants a long life.

He was only in the Faxiang Realm, but his Lifespan was a full five hundred years higher than someone in the Heaven and Earth Realm. No wonder it was a Cultivation Technique that successive Chu Emperors had to Cultivate, and paired with the Martial Emperor Scripture, it was incredibly powerful.

“Ding.”

“Congratulations, Host, for successfully condensing the Azure Emperor Dharma Form and completing the activation mission.”

“Mission Reward: Major Achievement Level ‘Heavenly Peng Step’. Do you wish to extract?”

“Extract!”

Chu Jiang clicked agree without hesitation.

Boom!

Countless experiences of Cultivating Heavenly Peng Step surged into his mind like a tide, merging into his Divine Soul, perfectly fusing with Chu Jiang's flesh and blood, as if he had personally Cultivated for tens of thousands of years, as familiar as his own breathing.

His legs even hardened a bit.

Chu Jiang took a step, and the Void Realm was torn like paper, like a Heavenly Peng flapping its wings and fighting in the Nine Heavens, instantly appearing a hundred miles away. His speed was incredibly fast, difficult to capture, directly breaking through fifty times the speed of sound.

“What incredible speed!”

This was not the limit of the Heavenly Peng Step, but rather the limit of Chu Jiang's Physical Body. The Heavenly Peng Step truly lived up to its name as a Qiankun Level Martial Art, incredibly powerful.

“It's time to go out!”

Chu Jiang said in a deep voice. He had been away for quite some time, and he didn't know what had happened outside. However, the Secret Realm entrance was closed, so he could only find another way to leave.

Then, he used the Heavenly Peng Step to search for a possible exit in the Tai Xuan Secret Realm. After searching for several days, he found several spatial rifts.

Chu Jiang casually chose one, and his figure disappeared into the spatial rift…
