Chapter 1241: The Human Emperor's Invitation (First update, requesting all)

"Blood Purification" can be said to be a novel approach, causing Li Zhangsheng to suddenly see the light; he had not expected there to be such an unconventional method.

For Li Zhangsheng, "Blood Purification" could completely serve as a supplement to the "Book of Bloodline Improved Version," and it was very likely to further increase the purification rate.

According to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, it could likely increase it by two or three percentage points.

Although it seemed like a small amount, the purification rate of the "Book of Bloodline Improved Version" was already as high as 1/3; increasing it by two or three percentage points on that basis was definitely considered rare and commendable.

In the following time, Li Zhangsheng handed a copy of the "Rock Training Method" to Ning Bizhen, and immediately began letting his Demon Pets familiarize themselves with this special training method.

This special training method could effectively improve the survival ability of the Demon Pets, so the Demon Pets naturally dared not be half-hearted, otherwise, it would be going against their own lives.

Li Zhangsheng continued to immerse himself in the Qiankun King's inheritance, occasionally taking time to purify the Abyss Consciousness; after his Mental Power was mostly depleted, he would recover his Mental Power while continuing to digest the inheritance, cycling in a two-point-one-line fashion.

Unknowingly, more than half a month passed.

Just as Li Zhangsheng was preparing to continue, a gold-stamped invitation forcibly tore through space and flew into the Secret Realm.

"Huh!"

Li Zhangsheng stared at the invitation floating in front of him with uncertainty, his brows tightly furrowed and his gaze gloomy.

The reason was very simple: he was clearly hiding in a Secret Realm, and the coordinates of the Secret Realm had never been revealed, so how did the other party find him?

Additionally, this invitation was attached to a special power, which was how it could easily break through the Secret Realm barrier.

Judging from the fact that the invitation flew to Li Zhangsheng automatically, there should still be his aura on such an invitation; his whereabouts had clearly been locked onto by the owner of the invitation.

After hesitating slightly, Li Zhangsheng grabbed the invitation with his right hand, and the power on it dissipated on its own, presumably withdrawn by the owner of the power.

Li Zhangsheng opened the gold-stamped invitation, his eyes flickering as he stared at the handwriting on it.

The handwriting was agile and graceful, written in one go, yet it carried a slight Keen Edge, giving one an invisible pressure.

Upon seeing the name of the sender, Li Zhangsheng could not help but be startled, because this invitation was issued by the Human Emperor.

"Could it be that this token of the Human Emperor Mansion revealed my whereabouts?"

Li Zhangsheng closed the invitation with a grim expression, a token that had been issued when he first joined the Human Emperor Mansion appearing in his hand.

Besides symbolizing his status as a member of the Human Emperor Mansion, this token could avoid a lot of trouble when operating within the sphere of influence of the Human Emperor Mansion; if one intended to hide, it was difficult for the masters of those kingdoms to detect it.

It was just that for Li Zhangsheng, who was determined to be steady, this token was a hot potato, because no matter where he hid, as long as he was in the Fairy World, the Human Emperor or the Commanders of the Human Emperor Mansion could likely lock onto his whereabouts.

Of course, it was also possible that he was overthinking it, but Li Zhangsheng's intuition told him that his whereabouts were indeed exposed by this token of the Human Emperor Mansion.

As a Double-Character King, his sixth sense was not ordinary.

Li Zhangsheng steadied his mind; he dared not offend the Human Emperor now, so naturally, he had no thoughts of destroying the token privately.

Even if he deliberately let the token be accidentally damaged, he feared he would not be able to hide it for long, and he would likely even suffer some punishment.

Li Zhangsheng had no choice but to put the token away, but he could not help but be more cautious.

Until this moment, Li Zhangsheng looked at the content of the invitation, revealing a thoughtful expression.

The content of the invitation was very simple: one month later, the Human Emperor would hold a trade fair in the capital of the Mucang Empire to exchange what one had for what one lacked; the threshold for entry was extremely high, requiring one to be a King at the very least.

Regarding this trade fair, Li Zhangsheng was naturally quite concerned; with the Human Emperor's pulling power, it was very likely that Ninth-Rank Demon Tamers would personally grace it with their presence, not to mention other Strongers.

According to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, at least several hundred Kings and Double-Character Kings would gather in the capital of the Mucang Empire by then.

As for the remaining Strongers, they likely could not spare the time, otherwise, there would be no one to suppress the Abyss Gate.

It was not just them; most Emperors also needed to personally suppress the Abyss Gate.

Even so, this would likely be the largest-scale trade fair in a century; with so many Strongers, there would definitely be treasures Li Zhangsheng needed in their hands, and there was a not-insignificant possibility that top-tier treasures he urgently needed would appear, such as Innate Jia Wood/Yi Wood Qi, mid-to-superior quality Nine-Aperture Miluo Stones, Medium-Grade Star Cores, Star Dome Jade Liquid, and so on.

Not one or two, not three or four, but many, many items.

If things went smoothly, by relying on this trade fair, Li Zhangsheng's combat power could potentially go a step further.

Li Zhangsheng closed the invitation, clearly hesitating for a moment, and looked at this invitation with suspicious eyes; perhaps this invitation could also lock onto his whereabouts.

Even though he had checked it several times, he still did not detect anything, but that did not mean there was definitely nothing, because there were plenty of profound methods he did not recognize, not to mention that the other party was the Human Emperor who had lived for ten thousand years.

In terms of foundation, the Qiankun King was not even fit to carry his shoes, because it was not just the gap in lifespan; the heights at which the two stood were also different, not on the same level at all. This was also why Li Zhangsheng never felt that his foundation could compare to a Ninth-Rank Demon Tamer, even the Xuan Emperor or the Phoenix Emperor, who had the lightest foundations, were far beyond his reach.

No matter what, they had been looking down from the mountaintop for over a hundred years, and their accumulation was far from what Li Zhangsheng could compare to.

Unless... Li Zhangsheng obtained the ancient Star Emperor Inheritance.

Li Zhangsheng solemnly put away the invitation, placing it in a specially made box.

This box possessed a powerful Breath Concealment ability, which could conceal the aura of the items inside as much as possible.

This invitation was also a token for attending the trade fair; otherwise, even if he were a member of the Human Emperor Mansion, he would not be able to enter the venue without an invitation.

Li Zhangsheng thought for a moment and placed the Human Emperor Mansion token inside as well.

It was just that, for some reason, after receiving this invitation, Li Zhangsheng always felt a bit uneasy.

Li Zhangsheng never felt that this was a symptom caused by fatigue; now that he had forged a Golden Body and melted Jade Bones, and still had a certain amount of Immortal Substance in his body, he would be fine even if he didn't sleep for a year or a half just to procreate; the symptoms of ordinary people could not possibly appear on him.

Li Zhangsheng did not ignore this feeling; he believed it was possible that someone was plotting against him in the dark, which was why such a situation had occurred.

There are always treacherous people who want to harm me!

Li Zhangsheng did not know who it was, but in all likelihood, it was none other than the Xuan Emperor or the Dark Night King.

However, recalling the warning from Wendi a month ago—Wendi believed that in order to survive the next Five Decays of Heaven and Man, the Human Emperor would likely stir up trouble in the next few years—this also forced Li Zhangsheng to include the Human Emperor as a suspect.

Of course, Wendi was no exception; who knew if he was being kind, or if he was harboring some scheme in the dark.

At this juncture, Li Zhangsheng prepared to do something.
