Chapter 64

In a short time, nearly all the proud sons of the Eastern Wasteland set out for the Northern Territory.

The fame of the Holy Body Dao Embryo had already caused a great uproar several months earlier; upon hearing it, the Holy Child of Yaoguang and others all calmed their hearts.

This physique is stronger than the Holy Body, yet few have seen Yang Zhu make a move; nobody wants to be the first to clash with him.

They came with a purpose, hoping to learn Yang Zhu's true strength from this battle.

Recently, Chaoyang City has become very lively, with many great powers arriving one after another, including numerous old monsters of elder level and young-generation powerhouses.

"You see, those are disciples of the Yaoguang Holy Land; it's a pity the Holy Child of Yaoguang isn't among them."

"Even the Elder Changqing of the Carefree Sect has come; this is a figure who has shaken the Eastern Wasteland for hundreds of years!"

Chaoyang City from time to time hears similar exclamations; numerous proud ones gather here, which can be called 'even a thatched hut shines'.

Quzhou is merely an oasis in the Northern Territory, only a few thousand li wide; in the vast Northern Territory, it is but a grain of sand in the sea.

Occasionally, one or two proud ones from outside the land come here, which was already rare; now they swarm here like water.

Moreover, many of those who have come are somewhat famous in the Eastern Wasteland.

Yaoguang and Hua Yunfei possess unparalleled grace; they truly deserve to be called a small mountain that overwhelms today's young cultivators.

Although the Jiang family's Jiang Yi Fei keeps a low profile, no one dares to underestimate him; many rumors suggest he is very likely to be the next head of the Jiang family.

"Has the Peacock King also come?"

When people heard this news, their bodies involuntarily trembled; how mighty the Peacock King is—he dares to openly assassinate the Ji family's supreme elder, unafraid of the ancient aristocratic clans, and still escape unharmed.

"Peacock King, aren't you being too arrogant? You killed my Ji family's supreme elder not long ago, and now you dare to appear here?"

A powerful figure of the Ji family spoke, his face very displeased.

"Nonsense, others may fear your Ji family, but I am not afraid; if you want to fight, go ahead and try!"

The Peacock King is very overbearing; looking over the Ji family up and down, aside from the Ji family head, nobody else is truly his match.

Tensions were high; the Ji family knew they could not detain him, and being far from the Ji family, any action would be unrealistic.

"Hmph! The previous matter will eventually be settled."

"I'll accompany you anytime."

Finally, out of helplessness, after uttering a harsh sentence, the Ji family said nothing more.

"Even a mighty figure like the Peacock King has been stirred—it's truly inconceivable."

The Peacock King knew that Ji Haoyue's words were not only directed at Yang Zhu, but also at Ye Fan.

He greatly admired Ye Fan, knowing Ye Fan would surely come for the great battle, so he came specially to deter, lest the Ji family scheme against him.

The number of gathered people kept increasing, even surpassing everyone's expectations.

The Ji family's Divine Body is very outstanding in the present age, and with the phenomenon of the moon rising over the sea, it is hard to find an equal at the same realm.

And as the first Holy Body Dao Embryo, Yang Zhu has attracted even more attention than the Divine Body of the Eastern Wasteland.

The Innate Holy Body and the Innate Dao Embryo, each taken alone, are among the top physiques; Yang Zhu, who combines the advantages of both, makes people dare not imagine how strong his strength truly is.

Big Black Dog, Ye Fan, and a third person, after disguising themselves, mixed into Chaoyang City.

"Black Emperor, are you sure there's no problem?"

Tu Fei, as the grandson of a great bandit, has seen much of the world, yet facing today's scene, even his usually bold self feels a bit uneasy.

"What are you worrying about, little bandit? You don't even need to go up; just wait to have your jaw drop."

The Black Emperor gave him an impatient glance; he even wanted to stir up a bigger commotion so more people would know the might of the Holy Body Dao Embryo.

"Be careful, don't get discovered."

Ye Fan reminded the two, although they had altered their appearance and demeanor with the Source Heavenly Scripture, there were many powerful experts around, and he could not guarantee they wouldn't be seen through. They blended into the crowd, waiting for the battle to begin.

Guanghan Palace.

The Queen Mother of the West approached Yang Zhu, displaying a move of the Golden Phoenix Embroidered Robe, exuding a faint fragrance; several items were conspicuously placed before him.

The piece of divine metal on the far left, its whole body like burning red coal, supremely hard and yang, containing a temperature that can burn all things, with a faintly visible divine phoenix pattern on its surface.

This divine metal is the size of a human head; it is precisely the Phoenix Blood Red Gold among the nine great immortal metals!

Beside the Phoenix Blood Red Gold lies an unsealed divine source, inside which is also a piece of immortal gold; both are ideal materials for forging imperial weapons.

If these were placed outside, even a fingernail-sized piece could stir up a bloody storm.

Besides the two pieces of immortal gold, there are two unsealed divine sources, each containing a peerless treasure, though it is not yet the time to open them.

"Imperial Son, everything you want is here."

Even two pieces of immortal gold the size of a human head are not necessarily possessed by a transcendent holy land; only Yaochi, with the longest inheritance, can have such a grand hand.

"Thank you for your trouble."

Yang Zhu nodded, putting everything away properly; these will be of great use for him to forge his natal magic treasure! Since he is to forge weapons, he naturally must use the highest-grade materials, and must also reach the level of immortal gold, otherwise he would lose his status as Imperial Son.

For Yang Zhu, as long as he speaks, Yaochi will spare no effort to conceal it, even if it means bringing out its hidden reserves.

Although Yaochi should unconditionally support him, if there were no expression at all, it would not match Yang Zhu's character.

"Keep this; take it when needed."

With a phoenix's cry emanating from his bitter sea, a drop of the essence of the Undying Divine Phoenix Elixir was grasped in his palm.

As soon as it appeared, a rich life force filled the main hall, spiritual energy pervading; even a single breath had the wondrous effect of prolonging life.

"Undying Divine Phoenix Elixir!"

The Queen Mother of the West recognized it at once; although Yaochi has a flat peach divine tree that can rival half an Undying Elixir,

yet compared to the true Undying Elixir, there is still a vast gap.

"Many thanks, Imperial Son."

The Queen Mother of the West stood on ceremony, taking out a wooden box made of divine wood and carefully sealing this drop of essence.

The Undying Elixir is generally possessed only by a great emperor, or else exists in the Life Forbidden Zone.

No matter which, ordinary people cannot obtain it; unless you have the ability to snatch it from their hands, but that is merely a daydream.

Everyone knows the Dao-comprehending tea tree lies in the Undying Mountain; as mighty as the Shaking Light Holy Land or the Ji family, would they dare entertain even the slightest thought? Don't think that just a single drop of the Undying Divine Phoenix Elixir Essence, yet it is enough to let a person live an extra lifetime—what that signifies goes without saying, it is truly a priceless treasure! If given to the strongest of the Jade Pool to consume, living an extra lifetime would guarantee the Jade Pool ten or twenty thousand years without worry.

"Is the Imperial Prince really going to go to war with the Ji family's youngster?"

"Go ahead, it's just a matter of convenience."

The Ji family's divine body is only famous in name; if we really compare, it falls far short of Shaking Light and Hua Yunfei.

"Then I want Yue'er to come with you."

"Sure."

The Queen Mother of the West isn't worried that Yang Zhu will lose; her only concern is that the Ji family, driven to desperation, will act against him after his victory.

"It's time to head out, judging by the time."

Yang Zhu rose to his feet and lazily stretched his joints.
