Protagonist:

Jiang Xuan

One day, Jiang Xuan strode forward, grabbed Boy by the collar, and threw him straight out of Shi Cun.

"Go on, go make a name for yourself in the Great Wilderness, or head to an Ancient Kingdom and compete with others for supremacy!" Jiang Xuan said.

"Master, I didn't take my earthenware jar — that's my Immortal Soldier!" Boy struggled in midair, screaming at the top of his lungs.

Hearing this, everyone secretly scoffed; that was clearly just a milk jar, yet he called it an Immortal Soldier — only he could say such a thing with a straight face.

"I'm telling you to go temper yourself, not to go stealing beast milk from ferocious beasts' nests again!" Jiang Xuan sternly admonished.

Going to temper yourself means looking like you're tempering yourself; setting off hugging a milk jar and drinking beast milk — what kind of decorum is that?

"I don't drink beast milk anymore, I drink blood milk now!" Boy's voice grew fainter and fainter, finally disappearing from the ears of the Shi Cun people.

The villagers watched his receding figure until it turned into a tiny black dot and vanished completely, all silently praying in their hearts for his safe return.

At this moment, Boy in the wilderness was bewildered.

"Three hundred thousand li of road — do I have to measure it step by step with my own two legs?"

Boy frowned in thought, deeply aware this was absolutely not a feasible method.

Although his achievement in the Blood Moving Realm was enough to shake the Eight Domains, he was still in the initial stage of cultivation after all; compared to those strange beasts with extraordinary speed, his leg strength was truly limited.

"I want something to ride, Master, grant me this wish!" Boy shouted loudly at the sky.

No sooner had his words fallen than an earthenware jar landed with a "thud" right beside his feet.

"Wish granted." Jiang Xuan's voice rang in his ear, "Just this once, there won't be a next time."

Boy looked at the earthenware jar on the ground with a face full of suspicion: "Master really gave me my milk jar? But I need a mount right now."

In an instant, the earthenware jar in his hand flashed with light, four wheels grew from its bottom, and the jar body sprouted something like handles.

Boy was both startled and delighted, carefully examining this transformed earthenware jar, marveling at this miraculous change.

He mounted the earthenware jar, gripped the handles — the feel was hard yet smooth and warm, not at all like an ordinary earthenware jar.

"Giddy up!" Boy shouted, slapping the earthenware jar.

The earthenware jar shot out like an arrow from a bow in an instant, its speed extremely fast.

Boy was overjoyed, shouting loudly, feeling the lightning-fast speed.

"Stop!" Boy hurriedly shouted, and the earthenware jar stopped at once.

"Good treasure, good treasure!" Boy stroked the earthenware jar, his eyes full of admiration.

He didn't know Jiang Xuan had truly refined this earthenware jar into an Immortal Soldier.

He looked around — ancient trees stood tall everywhere.

Boy broke off a tree branch and returned to the earthenware jar.

"Charge for me, Little Pot!" he commanded imposingly, giving the earthenware jar a name.

The earthenware jar carried Boy, who held the tree branch, charging forward like a brave warrior.

"Great Wilderness, here I come! Ancient Kingdoms, here I come! I am Boy from Shi Cun!" His voice still echoed as the earthenware jar carried him away into the distance.

However, not long after, Boy rode the earthenware jar back again.

He looked around in the wilderness, climbed an ancient tree, overlooked the vast wilderness forest sea and continuous mountain ranges, then raised his head to look at the sun.

"Went the wrong way — which way should I go?" Boy fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, he slapped his forehead, jumped onto the earthenware jar: "Never mind, Little Pot, head toward the direction where the sun rises, let's go!"

One person and one earthenware jar sped off toward the new direction until they vanished completely.

Jiang Xuan sat in Shi Cun, taking in all of Boy's actions.

He helplessly held his forehead: "This child, too mischievous."

Simultaneously, Jiang Xuan put away a crystal reflecting Boy's image, properly storing this "precious thing."

"His personality is lively." Willow Deity said.

Jiang Xuan was silent for a moment, then spoke: "Willow Deity, if you're going to speak, say a bit more."

Then he looked at Willow Deity and praised: "You've recovered very well."

When Jiang Xuan first arrived in the Chaotic Ancient times, Willow Deity had only a single branch left; now it was lush with branches and leaves.

With Willow Deity's ability, once its memories recovered and it survived the difficult phase, its recovery speed would accelerate — after all, it could open dimensional pools to draw endless energy.

"Passable." Willow Deity's tone was flat, then it spoke of Jiang Xuan.

"Your realm is very deep."

Although Willow Deity's recovery condition was good now, even so, wanting to fathom Jiang Xuan's cultivation realm was still utterly impossible.

Jiang Xuan's qi, blood, primordial spirit, and divine radiance were all inwardly restrained and concealed; if he didn't actively reveal them, others fundamentally couldn't detect the slightest trace.

"Didn't expect to actually be discovered by you." A hint of surprise flashed across Jiang Xuan's face, then he exclaimed in admiration, "Willow Deity truly lives up to being Willow Deity — piercing gaze, worthy of admiration."

Willow Deity secretly scoffed; clearly you deliberately released your aura to leak this matter.

"These days I've been comprehending divine abilities and actually discovered an opportunity left by a senior." Jiang Xuan's face was full of emotion, "The hardships within are truly difficult to describe in words."

"Willow Deity, you cannot imagine how tortuous and complex my journey has been; if I told it, I'm afraid no one would believe it."

"If so, then no need to speak." Willow Deity's tone was flat, without any ripple.

Jiang Xuan looked at the willow tree before him, inwardly helpless; such words truly easily create a sense of distance.

The one who spoke like this before has long since lost their former glory.

Despite Willow Deity's aloof attitude, Jiang Xuan didn't mind at all.

After all, achieving fame and success yet having no one know of it is like wearing splendid clothes while walking in the dark.

Moreover, within these vast and boundless Eight Domains, Liu Shen is one of the few who can understand that his achievements are extraordinary.

Jiang Xuan actively withdrew part of his concealment, revealing a corner of the mysterious mark inscribed within his body.

Although Liu Shen did not really want to communicate too much with Jiang Xuan, she was truly curious about this secret and could not help but fix her gaze to examine it closely.

When that corner of the Imperial Soldier Mark entered her sight, Liu Shen's mind was instantly shaken, and even her branches unconsciously began to sway.

She could not help but cry out in alarm, her voice full of incredulity: "This is actually an Imperial Soldier Mark?!"

Hearing Liu Shen's cry of alarm, a trace of self-satisfaction surged in Jiang Xuan's heart, he

"This... this is an Imperial Soldier?!" Liu Shen's voice was instantly pulled sharp and trembling by an invisible force, carrying a shock like terrifying waves, rolling and reverberating throughout this heaven and earth.

In the past, Jiang Xuan once showed Liu Shen the Eight Trigrams Furnace Mark through his vision, but this time she truly, actually saw the real Imperial Soldier Mark with her own eyes.

Jiang Xuan himself only just discovered that back in the Yi Shi Jie, the Moral Heavenly Venerable had him observe the Eight Trigrams Furnace, not merely to observe, but to brand it.

It is also because today his cultivation realm has grown deeper and deeper that this brand has manifested.

"The Heavenly Venerable is magnanimous."

In an instant, the wind and clouds of heaven and earth changed color, the surrounding space seemingly shaken by the waves of this emotion.

In the long river of time, she has experienced countless vicissitudes, witnessed countless rare treasures and supernatural techniques in the world, yet the legendary Imperial Soldier containing the power to destroy heaven and annihilate earth has actually appeared so vividly before her eyes — this simply overturns the foundation of her world cognition.

Jiang Xuan stood with hands behind his back, the corners of his mouth holding a faint, barely-there smile; the leisure in his expression formed a stark contrast with this shocking atmosphere.

He nodded lightly, the movement slow and steady, as if this Imperial Soldier capable of making heaven and earth lose color was merely an utterly ordinary mundane object.

The wild wind howled, blowing his sleeves to flutter loudly, yet unable to disperse the composed and calm aura surrounding him.

He sighed inwardly in amazement; it was only normal for Liu Shen to have such a shocking reaction.

"Simply a fantasy! This... how is this possible!" Liu Shen was completely submerged by this indescribable shock, her voice carrying an unprecedented tremor, "If an Imperial Soldier truly appears in the world, doesn't that mean there truly exists an Emperor-level powerhouse who can dominate Qian Kun and overturn the universe?!"

In her long years of memory, Emperor-level powerhouses are like those unreachable ancient stars, suspended high above the nine heavens; their power is mysterious and terrifying, enough to change heaven and earth, to reshape Qian Kun.

And the Imperial Soldier is the concrete symbol of their supreme majesty and supernatural power, a legendary existence that even the rules of heaven and earth must tremble before.

"The Ancestor Sacrifice Spirit Method, did it not also once faintly touch that forbidden mysterious realm?"

He did not directly answer Liu Shen's shocked question, but threw out this counter-question.

The Ancestor Sacrifice Spirit Method, as an ancient and ultimate power inheritance, has left only a few fragmentary records in the long river of history, but it is said that those powerhouses fortunate enough to comprehend its essence can briefly tear open the Heavenly Secret and glimpse a corner of the Emperor Realm.

"That... that is ultimately a world of difference!"

Liu Shen sighed long, full of melancholy and emotion.

This one sigh could spit out all her doubts and shock, "As far as I know, in ancient legends, there were indeed one or two peerless powerhouses of unparalleled talent who, by relying on the Ancestor Sacrifice Spirit Method, or other heaven-defying opportunities, luckily touched the edge of the Emperor Realm. However, those who could truly cross that chasm, step into that realm, and become Emperor-level powerhouses — from ancient times to now, there has never been any record!"

Those legends about touching the edge of the Emperor Realm, though long circulated in the world, remain only in oral transmission, never receiving any concrete verification, like flowers in a mirror and the moon in water — seemingly beautiful yet unreachable.

"Then today, I will break this ancient silence, for you, for this world, prove that the Emperor Realm is not illusory!"

In his heart, the Emperor Realm is absolutely not unreachable.

The Emperor that Liu Shen cognizes may merely be those Quasi-Immortal Emperors still lingering outside the threshold of the Emperor Realm.

And the true Immortal Emperor is the Supreme Existence standing at the peak of all things in this universe, dominating the cycle of life and death, controlling the order of time and space.

The Eight Trigrams Furnace Mark within his body is not only a peerless divine weapon mark, but also the key to opening the gate to the Emperor Realm.

The Eight Trigrams Furnace, its mighty reputation resounds like thunder, echoing through the Myriad Realms!

It is like a towering, soaring Chaos Furnace spanning the Star River, possessing the terrifying great power to reverse yin and yang, smelt Qian Kun, make the sun and moon lose color, and shatter stars!

It is the ultimate condensation of all powers and laws in the world, enough to make the order of heaven and earth tremble and reshape under its might, truly one of the most mysterious and unpredictable, most destructive existences in the universe!

At this moment, Jiang Xuan has already incorporated this Supreme Divine Soldier Eight Trigrams Furnace Mark into his body.

However, at present, what he displays is merely the tip of the iceberg; there is still a long road to go before activating the full terrifying might of the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

After all, this is merely a major opportunity and critical breakthrough on his cultivation path.

One must know, incorporating the Eight Trigrams Furnace Mark into the body absolutely does not mean being able to instantly unlock all its heaven-shaking great power.

Only by continuously advancing his own cultivation level can his comprehension of the heaven and earth laws contained within the Eight Trigrams Furnace continuously deepen.

Only then can he gradually unlock the seals of this sacred object, manifesting the terrifying power sufficient to destroy the heavens and create universes.

Strictly speaking, this Eight Trigrams Furnace is currently only a phased achievement in his cultivation, but this achievement is truly too shocking.

It can be foreseen that in the future cultivation years, when Jiang Xuan has undergone hardships and baptism, thoroughly grown to the peak state, Jiang Xuan relying on this Eight Trigrams Furnace within his body will transform into the most terrifying existence between heaven and earth.

He will possess the supreme great power to change heaven and earth, reshape the Star River; with a wave of his hand, mountains and rivers will collapse, seas will turn to mulberry fields; in a single thought, stars will fall, the universe will change color.

Any opponent, before the endless chaotic flames and terrifying power of laws of the Eight Trigrams Furnace, will be as insignificant as ants, instantly reduced to ash and smoke, dissipating between heaven and earth.

This Eight Trigrams Furnace undoubtedly injects a powerful confidence into Jiang Xuan's seemingly unreachable, nearly heaven-defying plan to counter-attack an Immortal Emperor as a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, adding several points of hope and possibility for success.

Of course, if he can advance a thousand miles a day on the cultivation path, rapidly prove the Immortal Emperor position, ascend in one step to the peak of cultivators, look down upon all living beings in the universe, and dominate the cycle of life and death of all things in the world — who would refuse such supreme glory and power?

But the Immortal Emperor realm, how could it be easily touched?

Countless cultivators on the long cultivation road, exhausting their lives, experiencing countless life-and-death trials and soul baptisms, find it difficult to reach this ultimate Other Shore.

The hardships and obstacles within are like the endless dark abyss in the vast universe, unfathomable, beyond imagination.

Although Jiang Xuan's talent is unparalleled, he is also very clear in his heart that to prove the Immortal Emperor will take at least endless, vast time.

In this vast stretch of years, every minute and second is filled with unknown dangers and challenges; the shadow of death may envelop him at any time; this heavy pressure and sense of crisis follow him like a shadow, constantly urging him forward.

Precisely because of this, Jiang Xuan urgently needs to find a means to preserve his life before an Immortal Emperor while at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.

No matter how tortuous and difficult the future cultivation road may be, planning ahead and preparing for a rainy day is never wrong.

After all, in this cruel cultivation world where the strong are respected and the weak are prey to the strong, one more point of preparation means one more point of hope for survival, one more point of confidence to challenge limits.

Liu Shen at this moment is still deeply immersed in extreme shock, unable to regain her senses for a long time.

The news that Jiang Xuan's body contains the Eight Trigrams Furnace is like a world-destroying storm from ancient times, instantly completely destroying and reshaping her previous cognition of the world.

In her long life journey, she has seen countless rare treasures and powerful experts, but the appearance of the Eight Trigrams Furnace still makes her feel unprecedented shock and impact.

In Liu Shen's view, the fact that the Eight Trigrams Furnace is actually integrated into his body — the information revealed behind this goes far beyond simply the existence of a powerhouse possessing such a supreme treasure.

Who exactly possesses such heaven-defying means to fuse this supreme holy object with Jiang Xuan? (Chapter End)
