Chapter 1041: Hundred Refinements Returning to Origin, Three Dragons Rising Cloud Chariot (First update, seeking votes)

Five days later, Li Zhangsheng awoke from his meditation.

During these five days, Li Zhangsheng primarily digested the inheritance of the Hundred Victories King.

The inheritance of the Hundred Victories King was nothing if not complex; he was not only capable of ingeniously creating the "Book of Bloodlines," but was also an experienced master of artifact crafting and pharmacology.

Holding the status of a dual master, the natural talent of the Hundred Victories King could be imagined; describing him as a heaven-sent genius would not be an exaggeration.

From the Hundred Victories King's inheritance, it was learned that the Hundred Victories King had once visited the Main Material Plane in his early years. That was a Great Thousand World, with an area far exceeding the Fairy World, and it was also a world ruled by the Gods.

At that time, the Hundred Victories King had engaged in in-depth exchanges with some mages, warlocks, and druids, thereby acquiring a vast amount of knowledge. Ultimately, after returning to the Fairy World, he discarded the dross and selected the essential, organizing and summarizing the knowledge of both worlds, gathering the strengths of the two great worlds; only then did he have the foundational conditions to create the "Book of Bloodlines."

Among them, within the vast knowledge of artifact crafting, there was even a special crafting technique called "Hundred Refinements Returning to Origin." This technique was quite unique; it could better refine impurities in precious materials and improve the quality of the finished product to a certain extent.

Besides this, some artifact crafting knowledge also made Li Zhangsheng's eyes light up. Stones from other hills can serve to polish the jade of this one; although the Hundred Victories King was a grandmaster of artifact crafting, it was impossible for his crafting notes to encompass every crafting technique.

According to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, if he digested the Hundred Victories King's artifact crafting knowledge, he could basically become a grandmaster of artifact crafting steadily.

As for pharmacology, Li Zhangsheng expressed great interest. If he were to improve the "Book of Bloodlines" in the future, pharmacology would naturally be of paramount importance; after all, the Dissolving Agent and Active Potion were both created based on pharmacology.

The Hundred Victories King was extremely studious and learned much, which led to his inheritance being extremely complex. The knowledge was as vast as the sea, encompassing almost all types of learning. In his life, he had experienced thousands of battles, large and small, and his experience in facing enemies could be described as extremely rich. He had even been to the Blood Battle Battlefield, known as the "flesh grinder," and beheaded two Demon Lords in battle.

In addition to this, he also mastered a large number of Demon Taming Arts, Secret Techniques, and secret arts.

The Hundred Victories King primarily cultivated the "Yuanshi Golden Chapter" and practiced the "Xuanji Nine Transformations" as a supplement. Crucially, the former was the complete version, unlike the one in Li Zhangsheng's hands, which could only be cultivated to the King version.

Besides the "Yuanshi Golden Chapter," the Hundred Victories King had also collected a complete Top-tier Demon Taming Art, which happened to be the "Styx" that Li Zhangsheng was familiar with.

As Top-tier Demon Taming Arts, the "Styx" was inferior to the "Yuanshi Golden Chapter," while the "Yuanshi Golden Chapter" was slightly inferior to the "Zhou Tian Star Dou."

Therefore, Li Zhangsheng had no intention of switching to the "Yuanshi Golden Chapter." Moreover, a few days ago, he had already sent people to the Lihuo Kingdom to invite the Mu Family to be guests in the Langya Kingdom; he figured the Mu Family would send people over soon.

The reason he was so certain was mainly because Li Zhangsheng's reputation preceded him. Crucially, the Double-Character King of the Mu Family had already fallen, and their momentum was far from its peak; by common sense, they would give Li Zhangsheng some face.

As long as a deal was reached with the Mu Family, Li Zhangsheng could take the general outline as the core and summarize the several Star Demon Taming Arts to fuse them into a complete "Zhou Tian Star Dou."

In addition to the two complete Top-tier Demon Taming Arts, there were also several incomplete Top-tier Demon Taming Arts, and there were countless lower-tier Demon Taming Arts.

The Hundred Victories King had extremely high aspirations. From his inheritance, it was learned that this fellow wanted to collect the "Tai Shang Ruthless," "Yuanshi Golden Chapter," "Shangqing Precious Record," and "Twelve Capital Heaven Divine Fiends." These four Top-tier Demon Taming Arts had a great origin and came from the same source. It is said that as long as one collects these four Top-tier Demon Taming Arts, they can be fused into a Super-tier Demon Taming Art called "Pangu."

Of course, this was a legend, and Li Zhangsheng did not know if it was true. The key was that he only had the complete "Yuanshi Golden Chapter" in his hands. Although the Hundred Victories King had collected the other three, they were all incomplete, especially the "Twelve Capital Heaven Divine Fiends," which only had the first three levels; the prospect of collecting them all was remote.

Besides Demon Taming Arts, there were as many as a thousand types of Secret Techniques, among which there were more than a dozen Top-tier Secret Techniques, but no Super-tier Secret Techniques.

Among these dozen or so Top-tier Secret Techniques, Li Zhangsheng already possessed many, such as Soul Grafting, Fleeting Moment, Law of Heaven and Earth, Earth Listening, Mirror Light Projection, Boiling Heaven and Earth, Plane Suppression, Great Evolution Divine Calculation, Bloodthirsty Pursuit, Immovable as a Mountain, and Moving Mountains and Draining Seas, but he lacked Heavenly Vision, Soul Barrier, and Star Shift.

Among the remaining Top-tier Secret Techniques, Li Zhangsheng only took a fancy to a Top-tier Secret Technique called Chongming Insight.

This was a Secret Technique named after the Divine Beast Chongming Bird, which could significantly increase the reaction speed of Demon Pets.

The other few Top-tier Secret Techniques overlapped in efficacy with the Top-tier Secret Techniques he had already mastered and were of no use to Li Zhangsheng.

There were several secret arts, all of which were secret arts that burned potential or burned the soul, among which was the Heavenly Demon Disintegration. Back then, the Hundred Victories King had used the Heavenly Demon Disintegration secret art to barely repel the Demon Lord who possessed the direct bloodline of Dagon and break out of the encirclement.

In addition, there were two special training methods, namely Spirit Communication and Meditation.

The only pity was that Li Zhangsheng happened to have these two special training methods.

In five days, it was naturally impossible to completely digest this knowledge. Li Zhangsheng had only initially organized and summarized it; wanting to completely digest this knowledge would take some time.

On the evening of this day, Li Zhangsheng's heart stirred, as he sensed that two Kings had entered the territory of the Langya Kingdom.

Although Li Zhangsheng was not the nominal lord of the Langya Kingdom, after the Langya Kingdom was initially stabilized, he possessed such sensing ability.

Soon, the Golden Conch vibrated; it was Zuo Qiulin, who had been sent to the Lihuo Kingdom, trying to contact him.

Clearly, the ones who entered the Langya Kingdom territory this time were most likely Kings from the Mu Clan of the Lihuo Kingdom.

The reason for sending Zuo Qiulin over was to express Li Zhangsheng's regard for the Mu Clan, and because the matter was of great importance, he also had to invite the Mu Clan Kings to come to the Langya Kingdom.

Of course, Zuo Qiulin did not know Li Zhangsheng's intention.

Sure enough, upon learning of Li Zhangsheng's warm invitation, the two Kings of the Mu Clan gave it importance. After all, Li Zhangsheng had defeated the Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong; even if the Mu Clan were still in its peak period, they would probably pale in comparison, let alone the current Mu Clan.

As the family second only to the Imperial Family in the Lihuo Kingdom, the Mu Clan occupied almost an entire province, equivalent to a country within a country. Therefore, the Mu Clan had always been feared by the Lihuo Kingdom's Imperial Family, and their situation in the Lihuo Kingdom was not as glorious as it appeared on the surface.

The Mu Clan also wanted to change this phenomenon, but they could not just cut their own flesh to feed the eagle. Now that Li Zhangsheng was strongly inviting them, it was also an opportunity for them.

In less than an hour, with flowers falling from the sky and various strange phenomena, two Kings rode a chariot wreathed in clouds and mist, flying toward Yecheng.

Pulling the chariot were three Demon King-level flood dragons, which had once been the transport chariot of the Mu Clan's Double-Character King, known as the Three Dragons Rising Cloud Chariot. It was just that these three flood dragons looked rather aged, their dragon whiskers all white; it was feared they had all entered their twilight years.
