Chapter 1910

He Pingsheng had heard Wang Dun's kind of talk before.

The meaning was that if you didn't want to become a Dao Lord of one side, but just wanted to cultivate the Dao peacefully and steadily, the ultimate goal being a God King or God Emperor, or even the God Emperor realm.

None of that mattered!

Other people's Dao Yun could be directly devoured and used.

But if you wanted to become a Dao Lord, that wouldn't work.

To put it bluntly, what is Dao Yun?

It is the condensation of an Ancient God's, or a fallen mighty figure's, understanding of the Heaven and Earth's Dao laws and rules — it is someone else's comprehension.

You swallow someone else's comprehension; on the surface it seems like a shortcut, but in reality you lose your self.

Having lost your self, using those losers' Dao methods to contend with the Great Dao, to assault the Dao Lord position, even to meet the current Dao Lord in battle and replace them.

Is that possible?

So, what Wang Dun said was right; if you want to become a Dao Lord, you have to comprehend the Dao yourself.

By the same principle, when fusing a Godhead later on, you also cannot fuse someone else's attributed Godhead, but must seek your own.

"There's quite a lot of physical Divine Gold!" Before Wang Dun lay a pile of Divine Gold.

And they were all mid-grade.

Mid-grade Divine Gold — He Pingsheng had a lot of this stuff, and Wang Dun had a lot too; after all, earlier at the ruin entrance, he had even won top-grade Divine Gold in a bet.

"I don't want the Divine Gold..." He pursed his lips: "Little Brother, you guys split it!"

He Pingsheng shook his head: "I don't need it either. Bao Bao, Tai Zhen, you two split it!"

"Oh right... this time I didn't bring Bing Yao along. That girl Bing Yao must be heartbroken. Bao Bao, you grab a share for Bing Yao too!"

"Hey!" Wang Dun slapped his thigh hard: "I was just saying, not seeing my big niece made me feel like something was missing!"

"This..."

"Bao Bao, take these few Divine Artifacts back to Bing Yao!"

Wang Dun found a few more Divine Artifacts and tossed them to Xin Bao Bao!

Xin Bao Bao and Tai Zhen took some items first; not much remained, but the grades were all very high.

"Little Brother, there are two sixth-grade Divine Artifacts in total. Let's take one each!" Wang Dun sorted out those two Divine Artifacts.

He Pingsheng shook his head: "I'll pass... I already have the Marching Umbrella!"

"These few pieces should be fifth-to-sixth-grade artifact refining materials. I'll take these!"

He Pingsheng pointed at a few pieces of material.

Sensing the materials' aura, the glove and the Hongmeng Purple Jin Gun inside his body both trembled.

"Good!" Wang Dun waved his big hand and gave the materials to He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng looked around; there wasn't anything else too good.

There were, however, a lot of jade slips.

A huge pile, numbering in the hundreds.

He didn't tire of the trouble, picking up these jade slips one by one to examine.

Among them were cultivation methods, divine abilities, and some classics on alchemy, talisman making, and the like.

The most numerous were divine ability jade slips — a hundred or so kinds.

He Pingsheng selected carefully. He first picked out a few 【Spear/Staff-type】 divine abilities, and finally chose a fire-attribute one.

This divine ability was named 【Heaven-Opening Divine Lotus】.

"This is a Dao-law type divine ability!" Wang Dun looked at He Pingsheng and said: "If it has Dao law empowerment, its power is naturally not bad. But without Dao law empowerment, it's just ordinary!"

He Pingsheng said: "That's not a problem... I have the Hongmeng Purple Jin Gun, which can absorb Dao laws!"

Hongmeng Purple Qi can absorb Dao laws.

The glove can, so the staff naturally can too.

It's just that before, He Pingsheng didn't have any divine abilities derived from Dao laws, so he never got to use it.

Whatever Dao law needs absorbing, you just tell the artifact spirits, and the two of them will naturally handle the rest.

The downside is that absorbed Dao laws are ultimately external things, not your own, so they cannot be used infinitely.

Often it ends in a single use.

To use it again, you have to keep absorbing.

Although a bit troublesome, at critical moments this thing is truly useful; it can leverage it to easily achieve cross-realm instant kills.

Combined with the Heavenly Poison Machine Crossbow, He Pingsheng gained another life-saving method.

Not enough. Still need to strengthen!

He first took a look; this Heaven-Opening Divine Lotus was an Earth-rank upper-grade divine ability.

At first, He Pingsheng was also puzzled. A staff-type divine ability — why name it 【Heaven-Opening Divine Lotus】?

A bit incongruous.

But after he read through this divine ability once, he understood the meaning of Heaven-Opening Divine Lotus.

It turned out that when one staff strike is unleashed, fire-attribute power explodes instantly. When the exploding energy blooms, it looks like a crimson lotus flower.

That's why it's called Heaven-Opening Divine Lotus.

He Pingsheng directly threw this thing into the Treasure Basin.

Strengthen it first.

"Little Brother... look at this thing of mine. Can it be strengthened?" Wang Dun found He Pingsheng, took out a command token, and held it out before He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng took the command token; his pupils contracted.

The token presented a red color. Its front bore intricate complex patterns; its back had two characters: King's Command.

He Ping Sheng recalled: this was the token of the God Emperor that Wang Dun had won outside the Tian Gu ruins back then.

"What use is this thing?" He Ping Sheng asked Wang Dun.

Wang Dun said: "I don't know either; back then I wanted to ask that guy, but he left!"

"Don't you have a basin?"

"Put my thing in it, see if it can be strengthened; if not, at least let me know what this thing is, okay?"

He Ping Sheng nodded and tossed this red token in as well.

Soon, he took the token out again.

Scanning it again with Divine Sense, the information appeared.

Name: Seal King's Token.

Grade: Sixth Rank, Supreme!

Function: A single Seal King's Token universally usable in the Divine Realm, bestowed by the Honorific God Emperor; upon reaching the God King Realm, activating this token allows one to assume office over a Divine Province.

"Hiss—" He Ping Sheng sucked in a cold breath: "Damn… that guy… really is the God Emperor, and an Honorific God Emperor at that!"

"How so?" Wang Dun asked, somewhat curious.

He Ping Sheng returned the token to Wang Dun, saying: "This is the Seal King's Token crafted by the Honorific God Emperor… once your cultivation reaches the God King Realm, simply activate it, and you can become the God King of a Divine Province, ruling over that land!"

This thing is just like the Scorpion God King of the Scorpion Divine Province.

In the Divine Realm, territories are limited; theoretically, the Honorific God Emperor possesses one nation, the God Emperor one Divine Domain, and the God King one Divine Province.

But in practice, it's not that simply reaching that cultivation level grants you such a domain.

Many God Kings cannot actually possess a Divine Province.

This token must be personally bestowed by the God Emperor to be valid.

For example, in the Scorpion King City, the old ancestor of the Lu family is just a hair's breadth away from entering the God King Realm.

Even if he enters the God King Realm, he still cannot become the master ruling over a Divine Province.

Thus, the preciousness of the Seal King's Token in Wang Dun's hand is self-evident.

"Too bad, this thing is Sixth Rank; I can't duplicate it for you!" He Ping Sheng returned the Seal King's Token to Wang Dun again.

One year later!

Fire-attribute divine ability strengthening completed.
