Chapter 1178: Is the Xuan Emperor Mausoleum Revealed? (Second Update, Requesting Everything)

Unbeknownst to him, the time for the opening of the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm was drawing extremely near.

Ever since finishing the exploration of the Demigod Ruins, Li Zhangsheng had returned to the capital of the Yasi City-State to enter secluded cultivation.

Utilizing this period, his Mental Power had made some further progress; he estimated that in another month or two, he would reach King Peak, at which point he could attempt to break through to become a Double-Character King.

Besides this, Li Zhangsheng's main energy was focused on digesting the legacy of the Demigod and researching the Godhead Fragment.

After weeding out many irrelevant memories, to be honest, only a small portion of the Demigod Eric Robertson's legacy was useful to Li Zhangsheng, primarily the Biological Puppet Technique and knowledge regarding the Dawn World and other worlds.

As a top-tier Demigod, Eric Robertson had traveled through more than a dozen planes of varying sizes and had even entered the Main Material Plane, possessing detailed records of the customs and practices of various major planes.

As for the Godhead Fragment, Li Zhangsheng followed Eric Robertson's method of comprehension entirely, immersing his consciousness into it and wandering through an ocean of rules.

The only problem was that after his consciousness entered the Godhead Fragment, his Mental Power would continuously deplete.

Fortunately, Li Zhangsheng was a Monster Tamer, and his Mental Power was unusually Vigorous; he could maintain it for at least an hour at a time, unlike the miserable Eric Robertson, who could only maintain it for a quarter of an hour.

This was the difference between specializing in the physical body and specializing in Mental Power; in a sense, if Eric Robertson's Mental Power had been strong, he might have truly had a chance to comprehend the rules within the Godhead Fragment and heal his injuries.

The rules within the Ullr Godhead Fragment were mysterious and unfathomable, even more so elusive and disorganized, giving one a feeling of being difficult to grasp; this was perhaps because the Godhead was shattered, causing the rules to become incomplete.

Li Zhangsheng did not know if there were complete rules in this Godhead Fragment; he had been trying to link with them, but the difficulty was not ordinary, and it mainly depended on luck.

Only by comprehending complete rules, combined with a massive amount of Faith Power, could one ignite the Divine Fire, raise the Throne high, and become a Divine Spirit.

Although he had not found complete rules, it did not mean Li Zhangsheng had no other gains; there were many rules in the Ullr Godhead Fragment, and even if they were incomplete, they could still provide Li Zhangsheng with quite a bit of inspiration, solving many difficult problems for him.

It was not just the issue of creating new species; even the principles of fusing the Imitation Demon Refining Pot had advanced further.

As expected of a Divine Spirit with a nearly infinite lifespan, whose true form would not easily step out of the Divine Kingdom and could only cultivate in seclusion there, what they learned was not ordinarily miscellaneous, covering almost every aspect; artifact refining, alchemy, and so on were all effortless.

Most importantly, the computational ability of a Godhead was completely monstrous, and coupled with an exaggerated lifespan, this was what allowed Divine Spirits to be nearly omnipotent.

Even Li Zhangsheng, who had consumed a Wisdom Fruit, was still far inferior to a Godhead in this regard.

Li Zhangsheng envied Divine Spirits in three aspects: first, their theoretically infinite lifespan; second, the Godhead; and third, the Divine Spirit Avatar that nearly possessed an independent personality.

As for the Divine Kingdom, this thing was similar in principle to a Secret Realm; the two could be said to have their own advantages and disadvantages, making it difficult to distinguish which was superior.

Besides these aspects, Li Zhangsheng's feelers had begun to enter several countries near the Death Swamp, and he had secretly bought off several merchant caravans or mercenary groups to collect information for him.

Among them, the Legendary Powerhouse who had traded the Blood Phoenix Black Gold to Livingston had not yet been located; it was very likely this fellow had gone to more distant countries.

On the contrary, there was preliminary news about the Vermilion Bird and Taotie from several years ago; what exceeded Li Zhangsheng's expectations was that the Vermilion Bird seemed not to have escaped and had very likely already died at the hands of Taotie.

Additionally, there was the location of Taotie's lair.

Li Zhangsheng had reason to believe that even if Taotie had finished off the Vermilion Bird, it was highly probable that it was a pyrrhic victory, and it was possible it had not yet fully recovered.

Even so, Li Zhangsheng had no intention of going to find Taotie for the time being; he decided to wait until he became a Double-Character King before speaking.

Taking a step back, even if it were a heavily injured Taotie, it would be difficult for Li Zhangsheng to finish the opponent off, and he might instead be finished off by the opponent, not to mention that Taotie's status was unknown.

It had to be said that the strength of his Demon Pets had also obtained a certain increase, especially in terms of power, which was mainly thanks to the bonuses from top-tier power-type food.

Additionally, the second batch of Demon Pets that failed their breakthrough were about to pass their cooldown period.

Most importantly, Kailan's opportunity had arrived.

During this period, Li Zhangsheng had again extracted blood from that batch of Moon Elves one by one, obtaining a second batch of Elf King Essence Blood; now he had nearly nine jars, only a step away from ten jars.

The Moon Elves and Moon Elf corpses in the Elf Plane had been almost completely swept away by Li Zhangsheng, making it difficult to obtain more; this time, Li Zhangsheng could only pin his hopes on Xiang Yutian.

With nearly half a year of accumulation, Xiang Yutian must have accumulated quite a bit, including Nether Moon Lotus.

Li Zhangsheng chose to end his seclusion, and after giving instructions to Ge Liedi, he used the Plane Teleportation Array to return to the Fairy World—Langya Kingdom—Yecheng Imperial Palace.

Immediately, Li Zhangsheng summoned Zuo Qiulin to inquire about the news from this period.

Ever since the Silent Forest was wiped out and occupied, the trend of the Langya Kingdom had been further stabilized, and the Silent Forest had even begun to produce some resources.

The Silent Forest's resources were exceptionally abundant, especially mineral resources; several veins had indeed been discovered, including a precious Secret Silver vein, and the scale was not small.

The interior of the Langya Kingdom could be said to be relatively stable; during this period, no major events worthy of Li Zhangsheng's attention had occurred, nothing more than some external forces beginning to actively migrate into the Langya Kingdom, causing some friction with local Langya Kingdom forces.

The reason these external forces migrated into the Langya Kingdom was mostly because they could not survive in their original countries, or they had provoked enemies they could not afford to offend; there were also forces that favored Li Zhangsheng, but those who went all-in like this were very few.

Two major events had occurred outside the borders; one was the Human Emperor ending his seclusion and recruiting troops on a large scale, taking many idle Kings and Double-Character Kings under his command, including one Top-tier Double-Character King.

This Top-tier Double-Character King had originally been attached to Wendi, but as a result, it was unknown what benefits the Human Emperor had promised, and they defected to the Human Emperor's side.

This matter naturally caused a huge uproar, but because another major event happened to occur recently, the resulting turmoil was surprisingly diminished quite a bit.

The second major event was that in a certain area within the Yuxiu Kingdom near the central region, intense spatial fluctuations appeared from time to time; it seemed a large-scale Ruins would be revealed in the near future.

"Are you sure it is in the Yuxiu Kingdom?"

Li Zhangsheng's tone held a bit more excitement.

"Yes."

Zuo Qiulin looked at Li Zhangsheng strangely, but he did not ask further.

"Very good, you may withdraw first."

Li Zhangsheng did not answer, and after Zuo Qiulin left, he no longer hid the excitement in his heart.

Because according to the clues he had obtained, the Xuan Emperor Mausoleum was near the Yuxiu Kingdom; this large-scale Ruins that had yet to be revealed was very likely the Xuan Emperor Mausoleum.
