I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 654 The Twelve Heavenly Capitals
"I heard it's about casting the Twelve Heavenly Capitals."

Zhu Qiluo hesitated for a moment before replying.

"The Twelve Heavenly Capitals!"

Xia Daoming's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his heart suddenly trembled.

“Yes, the Twelve Heavenly Capitals.” Zhu Qiluo nodded. “However, to cultivate the body to that level, the requirements for innate qi and blood and physique are extremely high. In the ancient primordial era, all races were born with strong bloodlines, and the human race’s qi and blood were far superior to today’s. Therefore, the body cultivation path was extremely popular at that time, and it is said that a great power once successfully forged the Twelve Heavenly Capitals.”

However, as the great cycles of heaven and earth change, the bloodlines of all races become mixed generation after generation, and the innate purity is no more. Even the powerful ancient races such as the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Qilin are far inferior to their ancestors in physique and can no longer support the path of body refinement to its ultimate state.

From then on, body cultivation gradually declined, while Qi cultivation flourished. Even races known for their bloodlines, such as the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan, mostly focused on Qi cultivation, with body cultivation merely serving as a supplementary method to stimulate their ancestral bloodlines.

Just like Cangming cultivating the Ancestral Dragon Body Divine Power, it was merely a means to awaken the ancestral blood within him, helping him advance further in Qi cultivation. Nowadays, those who can step into the Capital Heaven Realm are probably extremely rare. At least in Chijiang Prefecture, I have never heard of anyone reaching that level.”

"Do you have any way to get your hands on the Twelve Heavenly Capital Techniques?" Xia Daoming pressed.

Zhu Qiluo shook her head, then thought for a moment and said, "Once, when I saw that the Ancestor was in low spirits, I mustered up my courage and asked him why. He said that the Dao of Heaven is extremely profound and complex, and very difficult to fathom and understand. The more he cultivates, the more lost and helpless he feels. Then he said that he greatly envied the ancestors of all races in the ancient primordial world. Those ancient powerhouses cultivated their bodies and forged their own world, not seeking to fathom the will of Heaven, but only seeking to master themselves. That kind of Great Dao is pure and direct."

These words struck Xia Daoming like a thunderclap.

He was startled, his gaze burning fiercely.

"That's right. In the path of body refinement, I cultivate my own world, pursue my own power, and walk my own path! Even if I can't obtain other people's Twelve Heavens cultivation methods to learn from, I will definitely be able to forge my own Twelve Heavens!"

Having figured this out, Xia Daoming felt enlightened, full of pride, and confident in his future path of body refinement!

"Master, Tuoba Gang is wreaking havoc and looting people ahead. Should we..." Just then, Zhu Qiluo suddenly stopped and asked for instructions.

"Entering the valley is up to you to decide your own fate. I have already gained a great deal, so there is no need to create any further complications. To avoid any accidents, let's take a detour," Xia Daoming said in a deep voice.

"Yes, sir!" Zhu Qiluo bowed and accepted the order, a hint of regret flashing deep in her eyes.

In terms of strength, Tuoba Gang should be slightly inferior to Cangming.

If she and Xia Daoming join forces, they still have a good chance of killing him and making a fortune.

"Young Master Tuoba, spare me! Spare me! Ah!"

Just as Xia Daoming and Zhu Qiluo turned around to take a detour, they first heard a woman's plea for mercy, followed by a shrill scream.

Xia Daoming subconsciously turned his head to look.

Upon that glance, his face instantly turned cold, and a murderous intent surged in his eyes.

In the distance, Tuoba Gang killed a woman, then ripped open her clothes, reached into her chest, and pulled out her steaming heart. He stuffed it into his mouth and began to chew it, slurping it until blood splattered everywhere.

After finishing his meal, he smeared his bloody hands on the woman's snow-white chest with a perverted grin.

"This Tuoba Gang is extremely cruel and perverted. In order to enhance his blood and physique, he secretly preys on the True Immortals of various races. He even defiles and tortures female True Immortals he takes a fancy to before eating them."

"It's just that he's powerful, backed by the Barbarian King of Stone Bone Mountain, and he's somewhat restrained in the outside world, not so unscrupulous in his brutal slaughter and prey on True Immortals of various races. So the Heavenly Court's garrison in Qionghua Upper County and the Golden Immortal forces turn a blind eye and don't interfere." Zhu Qiluo, unable to hide her murderous intent, explained in a low voice.

Although she was not a kind person, she still had her bottom line, and this scene made her eyes surge with murderous intent.

"This man deserves to die!" Xia Daoming said in a low voice, his tone calm but chilling.

As soon as the murderous aura was released, Tuoba Gang immediately sensed it.

He wiped his hands on the woman's body again, then slowly stood up straight, turned around and looked at Xia Daoming and Zhu Qiluo, with blood still dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"Who do we have here? It's Fairy Zhu!" Upon seeing Zhu Qiluo, Tuoba Gang's eyes lit up with a burning passion, but quickly turned to regret and pity.

Zhu Qiluo is very powerful; unless he sets up a carefully planned ambush, he has no chance of capturing her.

"That's right, it's me! Tuoba Gang, don't you think it's too cruel to slaughter your fellow blood-devourers like this?" Zhu Qiluo flew forward, her expression cold. Xia Daoming followed closely behind, like a lackey.

"Haha! Cruel? Everything I do is for the pursuit of the Great Dao, how can it be cruel?" Tuoba Gang laughed with disdain, revealing two rows of teeth stained with blood, making him look particularly ferocious.

Laughing, Tuoba Gang seemed to suddenly sense something, his gaze abruptly falling on Zhu Qiluo, revealing a burning intensity.

"You're injured? It seems quite seriously!" Tuoba Gang grinned, a savage glint in his eyes as he sized up his prey.

"So what if I'm injured? Do you think you'd dare to lay a hand on me, Tuoba Gang?" Zhu Qiluo said coldly.

"Haha, how could I dare to make a move on Fairy Zhu?" Tuoba Gang laughed and turned his gaze to Xia Daoming. He then changed the subject and said, "However, the person beside you is full of vigor and vitality, which suits my taste. You can keep him here."

"Tuoba Gang, you're courting death!" Zhu Qiluo's face suddenly turned cold. With a flick of her wrist, a fire dragon dart shot out, transforming into a fire dragon that pounced towards Tuoba Gang.

"Zhu Qiluo is nothing more than a mere Fifth-Rank True Immortal. Why should you humiliate yourself for his sake?" Tuoba Gang sneered as he watched the fire dragon pounce. A tall figure emerged from his chest, causing the earth to tremble.

The figure was nearly twenty feet tall, its body was earthen yellow, and it was a huge stone man.

"Earth-type Divine Weapon!"

Xia Daoming's eyes lit up slightly upon seeing this.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone wield a divine weapon.

As soon as the giant stone man stepped out, he clenched his fist and threw a punch directly at the fire dragon.

The fire dragon raised its claw and slammed it down.

"boom!"

Flames clashed with rubble, bursting into blazing light. The fire dragon shuddered violently, showering down a rain of fire; the giant stone man was forced back three steps.

"Zhu Qiluo, it seems you are really badly injured. Even my Rock Warrior can withstand your attack!" Tuoba Gang said with a mocking and sarcastic expression.

Immediately afterwards, eight more divine weapons emerged from his chest.

Three Earth-type, five Fire-type.

However, none of the five fire-type divine weapons are true fire divine weapons.

Given Tuoba Gang's status, it wouldn't be difficult for him to find a true fire.

With his current physique and strength, he can forcibly draw the true fire into the Crimson Palace.

But shallow waters are not suitable for raising dragons.

Without the foundation of an endless sea of ​​blood, even if he could bring the true fire into the Crimson Palace, it would be difficult to sustain its true growth.

Moreover, Tuoba Gang only relied on the bloodline of Kuafu and the cultivation of the body, but his main cultivation was the Great Dao of Qi Refining.

Even so.

Nine divine soldiers emerged in full force, their momentum soaring and their power overwhelming. They surrounded and fought the fire dragon, causing it to roar in fury and charge left and right, unable to break free for a while.

"Zhu Qiluo, it would have been better if you had asked them to stay earlier. Otherwise, we wouldn't be in this embarrassing and shameful situation!"

Seeing that the nine divine soldiers had completely surrounded the fire dragon, Tuoba Gang felt relieved. He made a sarcastic remark, then turned to Xia Daoming with a contemptuous look and brazenly raised his claws from a distance.

　That concludes today's update.
