Chapter 2145: Falling Cloud Valley

Emperor Gods are the most supreme beings between heaven and earth, the pinnacle of life in the Nine Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms. Each commands the power of a dominion, and the God Realm itself operates according to their will, making them irresistible.

That guy just now actually possesses the bloodline of such a powerful being. What exactly is going on?

"Could there be a mistake? In the Underworld Heaven, His Majesty Qiankun, the Demonic Monarch, has no offspring, not even a successor..." The old woman's lips trembled.

Possessing the bloodline of an Emperor God means being a descendant of one of these powerful beings. But the Emperor God of the Underworld Heaven, Qiankun, the Demonic Monarch, has lived for countless millennia without taking a wife or having children, and he has no successor... How could someone with his bloodline suddenly appear?

"There are ten Great Emperors in total across the Nine Heavens... his appearance in the Underworld Heaven doesn't mean he's a descendant of Qiankun, the Demonic Monarch!" Qi Linger's voice trembled. "According to the information I've received, when he killed 'One Inch of Ash,' he used an extremely powerful sword technique. Its profundity surpasses countless other sword arts..."

"Does Miss mean... this person could very likely be from the Sword God Heaven? A descendant of the reclusive Sword God from the Sword Cottage?"

The old woman's eyes widened.

"I don't know about that. No one dares to speak carelessly when an Emperor God is involved..." Shaking her head, Qi Linger took a deep breath, suppressing her inner panic, and said, "This information must not be told to anyone!"

"Yes!" The old woman nodded hastily.

In fact, there was no need for instructions; regarding matters involving an Emperor God, even if given ten times the courage, she wouldn't dare utter a single unnecessary word.

"Send word down: change the profit share for him to ninety percent! From now on, whatever he requests, fulfill it as much as possible. And... send the Mayang beast blood here as quickly as possible!"

Qi Linger issued a series of commands.

If they had other ideas before, now seeing his blood is so pure, even the most foolish would know what choice to make.

Possessing an Emperor God's bloodline, even if not a direct descendant, means limitless future achievements. Moreover, how could such a person not have powerful protectors by their side?

To seek trouble would be to have a death wish!

"Your subordinate understands!" The old woman left in a hurry.

Following closely behind, Qi Linger also withdrew.

"A soul imprint was left behind..." Sitting in the small boat, he returned to the previous building. Stepping out of the room, Zhang Xuan took out the card. His Eye of Insight scanned it once, and he smiled faintly.

The other party had left a soul imprint on it. It might deceive others, but not him.

With a thought, a stream of Heavenly Dao True Qi surged forth. The next moment, the imprint was submerged and vanished without a trace.

Stretching, Zhang Xuan's previously pale face immediately regained its color. He mused to himself, "Mayang beast blood can enhance soul cultivation; it seems I should also find a way to cultivate my physical body!"

With enough Divine Essence Pills, his cultivation could already advance rapidly. However, before improving his True Qi cultivation, he needed to first advance his physical body and soul.

"The best way to advance the physical body is through... divine beast blood!"

The physical body is difficult to cultivate; relying solely on absorbing spiritual energy for refinement would take an unknown amount of time. As he knew, the best method in the God Realm was body tempering with divine beast blood!

This tempering method utilizes the power of a divine beast's bloodline; the purer the bloodline, the stronger the effect.

In this world, the most powerful divine beast is undoubtedly the True Dragon!

But... even Mayang beast blood, from an ordinary Heavenly God realm divine beast, is so hard to find, let alone dragon blood.

"I'll go to the Divine Exchange market first and take a look!"

In the God Realm, there are places for divine exchange, but these involve creatures of very low cultivation and those that haven't taken human form.

For example... the rabbit from Mount Lingji that has never been successfully hunted.

As for powerful divine beasts that can take human form, they are identical to deities. Don't even think about trading them; if you dare make a move, a group would definitely rush out, and their lair might even be wiped out.

The divine exchange market was not too far from his current location. Riding a horse, he arrived in about half an hour.

The trading ground was on the city's edge, very spacious. Inside, divine beasts were densely packed, too many to count.

Some of these divine beasts had been captured, while others had willingly come and were voluntarily put up for sale.

The spiritual energy outside the city had already dissipated. To survive better and become stronger, they could only find a way to enter the city... and becoming a human's beast pet was the most direct method.

Beast tamers were not considered a profession in the God Realm, nor did they hold high status. This was because as long as spiritual energy and opportunities for cultivation were provided, many divine beasts would automatically follow, making it no longer difficult.

"Excuse me, do you have any divine beasts with dragon bloodline here?" Zhang Xuan found a person in charge and asked.

"Dragon bloodline? Sir... are you joking?" The person in charge was startled.

Zhang Xuan shook his head: "Of course not!"

"Anyone in the divine beast business knows that the Dragon race is the royal family of the Eastern Cloud Dragon Heaven. If any divine beast is found to contain this bloodline, it must be sent back. Dare to sell it privately, and once discovered, you'll be executed on the spot, and no one can save you..."

Seeing that he understood nothing, the person in charge explained in a lowered voice.

"The royal family of the Cloud Dragon Heaven?" Zhang Xuan frowned.

This was truly the first time he had heard of it. His previous understanding of the God Realm had all come from Teacher Mo Yun's descriptions. If the Eastern Cloud Dragon Heaven, one of the Nine Heavens, had issued such an order, then truly no one would dare to act recklessly.

"Could it be... that the Emperor God of the Eastern Cloud Dragon Heaven is a True Dragon?" A thought stirred in Zhang Xuan's mind.

He had long heard of the Dragon race's power back on the Master Teacher Continent, but he had never seen a true one, so he couldn't guess their actual strength.

Since dragons were the royal family of the Cloud Dragon Heaven, could it be that this Emperor God was a True Dragon in human form?

Knowing that inquiring further about such a high-level powerful being would not yield detailed answers, Zhang Xuan looked back and asked, "I need some divine beast blood for body tempering. Do you have any here?"

Since there was no dragon blood, he could only settle for something else and see if there was any divine beast essence blood that could advance his physical body. As long as his physical body could reach the Middle-grade Deity realm and his soul also improved, his cultivation could easily break through.

His previous cultivation session had revealed to him that the insight he had gained earlier, "Harmonious brotherhood, diligent servitude," could fully support his cultivation up to the High-grade Deity realm.

Therefore, below the Heavenly God realm, there was no need to worry too much for now. As long as his physical body and soul were sufficient, with so many Divine Essence Pills, he could achieve peak High-grade Deity realm in one go.

"Body tempering?" The person in charge shook his head. "We truly don't have any... However, in Luoyun Canyon, there's a High-grade Deity realm Phosphor-Armored Beast. Its defense is extremely strong, and its physical body is also exceptionally powerful! Even a Heavenly God realm expert like the City Lord would find it difficult to break through its defense! Its blood should be of great help for body tempering... It's just that we can't catch it, nor can we tame it! We can only stare enviously. If you truly want this kind of blood, you might try your luck there!"

"A Phosphor-Armored Beast?"

"Yes, but this creature is, first, difficult to find. Second, it's brutal; most people who've tried to tame it over the years have been eaten!" the person in charge said.

"Which direction is Luoyun Canyon in? How far is it from here?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"It's directly north of here. If you ride a flying divine beast, you can get there in about three hours!" The person in charge smiled. "Seeing as you don't have a flying divine beast yet, would you like to buy one? I have quite a few here..."

"Yes! I want a fast one!"

Zhang Xuan nodded.

The scope of the God Realm was far greater than that of the Firmament and the Master Teacher Continent. He indeed needed a flying divine beast, as this would make travel much easier, no matter where he went.

Soon, the transaction was complete. Zhang Xuan spent twenty divine coins to purchase a Low-grade Deity realm flying divine beast.

Seeing him leave, the person in charge sneered, "Another fool has appeared! If the Phosphor-Armored Beast were so easy to catch, the City Lord would have acted already. How could it have waited until now...?"

After speaking, he looked at an apprentice nearby: "Did you see that? This is how you sell things: satisfy their request, then seize the opportunity to promote your own goods... Learn from this!"

He lectured the apprentice cheerfully as he walked back.

Sitting on the back of the flying divine beast, Zhang Xuan closed his eyes and cultivated.

He consumed a few Divine Essence Pills and attempted several breakthroughs, but found that without a breakthrough in his physical body, rashly attempting to reach the Middle-grade Deity realm would put too much strain on his body. So he shook his head and stopped.

This God Realm was completely different from what he had imagined.

Deities... were not as happy as he had imagined. In fact, it was worse than the Firmament or the Master Teacher Continent.

After leaving the city, the spiritual energy became sparse again, and the air was also somewhat turbulent. The divine beast flew at a considerable height, and coupled with Zhang Xuan's current considerable strength, the impact was minimal.

Two hours later, a massive canyon indeed appeared before them. The setting sun hung in the middle of the canyon, with crimson evening clouds reflecting on both sides, as if the canyon was holding up the colorful clouds, dazzling and eye-catching.

He let the flying divine beast find a place to rest, then Zhang Xuan walked into the canyon.

According to the person, the Phosphor-Armored Beast should be inside. As long as he found it and managed to obtain some blood, his cultivation could break through its current limitations and advance to a higher realm.

The canyon was long, but Zhang Xuan was not in a hurry. He walked for almost an hour until it was completely dark, without discovering anything. Just as he felt curious, he suddenly saw flickering firelight ahead, as if someone was burning a bonfire.

"Could there be others like me, looking for the Phosphor-Armored Beast?"

He frowned.

In such a remote place, without spiritual energy or treasures, the sudden appearance of people burning a bonfire likely meant they had the same goal as him.

After all, any person in charge of selling divine beasts knew about the Phosphor-Armored Beast. In the entire Nether Night City, quite a few people must know about this divine beast.

Just like on the Master Teacher Continent, when a powerful divine beast appeared, many would come to try their luck at taming it.

Although beast tamers were not highly valued, powerful divine beasts were certainly not that easy to tame.

"I'll go take a look!"

With a thought, Zhang Xuan flew swiftly towards the flickering firelight.
