Chapter 43 The Peaceful Emperor
"There are hundreds of major sects in the Southern Region, yet they can't find a single genius who can rival the Ji family's divine physique? What a strange thing, truly a strange thing!"

"A few days ago, the Ji family's divine body ascended to the Tai Xuan Sect, and it seems they are going to fight Hua Yunfei of Xingfeng. I wonder what the outcome will be."

"I've heard that the result is in. Hua Yunfei was no match for Ji Haoyue and was defeated by the divine physical phenomenon!"

After Qi Zhe left Yandu, he traveled tens of thousands of miles in just seven days, once again disappearing into the crowd.

Now he cultivates near a small town, inquiring about various anecdotes in the Eastern Wilderness every day, and the one he hears about most is Ji Haoyue's battle record.

He had only just arrived at the teahouse when he overheard several cultivators discussing the rumors surrounding Ji Haoyue, and he couldn't help but listen attentively.

A few days ago, Ji Haoyue visited the Tai Xuan Sect, and a few days later, news spread that Ji Haoyue had defeated Hua Yunfei, which amazed people with Ji Haoyue's strength.

Now, upon hearing the name Hua Yunfei, Qi Zhe fell silent and couldn't help but ponder.

After a moment, Qi Zhe muttered the tragic name "Hua Yunfei" and recalled the lineage of the ruthless successor.

The old cultivator had warned him not to provoke these people to avoid getting into trouble, and Qi Zhe naturally shared the same sentiment.

Hua Yunfei was originally the youngest grandson of the Star Peak Master. He was exceptionally talented and could have achieved great things. However, the experts of the Ruthless lineage secretly set their sights on him and made him cultivate the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, intending to help him achieve the Undying Heavenly Art of the Yao Guang Saint.

Both of these imperial scriptures were left behind by the Ruthless Great Emperor. They are like the Wedding Dress Divine Skill. Devouring Heaven is an indestructible divine embryo. Cultivating the former means being countered by the latter, and one's cultivation will be used as a wedding dress for others.

Hua Yunfei, who saw through all of this, was powerless to resist and could not break free from this cage. In the end, he was sadly handed over to Ye Fan and found another kind of liberation.

"The more you come into contact with the legacy of ruthless people, the more unfortunate you will become. This is true for Hua Yunfei, and it is also true for Yao Guang!"

Qi Zhe knew that the ruthless man's inheritance was not a divine treasure, but a poison wrapped in honey. Once swallowed, it would inevitably cause a backlash, and only a handful of people could escape it. Naturally, he had no interest in it.

For him, nothing was absolutely necessary. If a single imperial scripture could grant someone the Dao, then the Great Emperor would not be the pinnacle of the Dao in this world.

However, the battle between Hua Yunfei and Ji Haoyue reminded him that the inheritor of the Ruthless Man's legacy was becoming increasingly powerful, and the Holy Son of Yaoguang was even more unfathomable. He had to be careful.

"To become stronger, you must continue to transform; only in this way can you soar to the sky!"

Since his last experience with the transformation to the Other Shore Realm, Qi Zhe has gained a different understanding of transformation. Once the number of times this happens increases, it can definitely improve a cultivator's innate talent and aptitude.

Compared to things like imperial scriptures, what Qi Zhe currently wants is to improve his own physical constitution; he desperately wants to undergo another transformation.

However, such a transformation is a rare and precious experience. Few ordinary cultivators have undergone two transformations, let alone multiple transformations.

Even though Qi Zhe frequently practiced the character "帝" (Emperor) within his body and showed signs of transformation, he was still unable to truly achieve it.

Now, he naturally had other ideas and thought of other things in this world that could help people transform.

"The potency of the elixir of immortality should definitely work, and other things like dream-level divine essence should also be sufficient."

Just thinking about it made Qi Zhe realize how difficult it would be. Such treasures are rare and hard to come by; they are definitely not something that ordinary people can obtain.

However, ordinary treasures are not incapable of achieving this. Qi Zhe believes that quantitative change is enough to lead to qualitative change. Eating a dozen or so ancient medicinal plants that are tens of thousands of years old might also lead to a transformation.

While Qi Zhe was pondering, several cultivators not far away were having a heated discussion about important matters in the Eastern Wilderness. One of them casually remarked something that caught Qi Zhe's attention.

"Have you heard that many of the spiritual treasures that have recently flowed out of Tianfu Tower have extraordinary origins, all from the tomb of the Demon Emperor?" "Naturally, thousands of spiritual treasures flew out on the day the Demon Emperor's Yang Tomb shattered, so it's not surprising that they ended up in the hands of Tianfu Tower."

"The Heavenly Fu Tower contains far more than just spiritual treasures; I reckon even the Medicine King could produce them!"

The discussion, which had been going well, came to an abrupt end with the mention of "Medicine King." Several cultivators gathered around shouted that it was nonsense, stating that Tianfu Tower could not possibly produce a single Medicine King.

Tianfu Tower is not a major merchant guild that is widespread throughout the Eastern Wilderness. It might not even be considered a top-tier guild in the Southern Region. Acquiring a few spirit weapons is already the limit of their capabilities.

Although the Medicine King cannot compare to the Elixir of Immortality, it is still an extremely precious treasure that not every force can afford.

"That's really ridiculous. The Medicine King isn't a radish; what powerful force would sell him off like that?" Qi Zhe's expression shifted, and he grinned.

The Medicine King is a spiritual herb that has grown for tens of thousands of years. The time cost of cultivating it is something that ordinary holy lands cannot wait for. Most Medicine Kings are naturally grown in secret places.

In the vast Eastern Wilderness, places where the King of Herbs is known to grow are often forbidden zones for life, with any single plant being hundreds of thousands of years old.

However, no matter how many treasures are in the Forbidden Zone of Life, they are not something that ordinary people can obtain. All the holy lands can only sigh at the Forbidden Zone of Life, unable to reach it at all.

In addition, the more dangerous the place, the more likely it is to grow great medicinal herbs, and it is not impossible to find a medicinal king that is tens of thousands of years old.

"Whether I should say it or not, I should just focus on my cultivation." After thinking it over, Qi Zhe gave up the idea of ​​going to find the Medicine King, not wanting to waste his time.

But just as Qi Zhe had given up, news spread in the small town a day later that the renowned Hu Family Merchant Guild of the Eastern Wilderness was going to auction a nine-thousand-year-old medicinal herb in a major city in the Southern Region.

This is a rare medicinal herb that is nearly ten thousand years old. It is rooted in an extremely dangerous blood cave. Its owner has been dead for thousands of years. It could never have been brought out without the help of a master.

"How potent must a nearly ten-thousand-year-old medicinal herb be?" The various rumors made Qi Zhe grin and couldn't help but head towards that great city, hoping to find an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos.

Many other cultivators shared the same mindset. Before Qi Zhe even arrived in the big city, he saw many rogue cultivators wandering around it.

"Tiandu."

This is a great city called Tiandu, which is said to have been built in the ancient times by an ancient sage. It is now controlled by many holy families and does not belong to any power in the Southern Region.

There is no kingdom within a radius of ten thousand miles, and even ordinary people rarely live here; only cultivators come and go.

Qi Zhe has now entered Tiandu City. Walking among the buildings, he is quite curious. This city is home to countless cultivators, and the various markets sell all the things that cultivators need.

At this moment, in a building not far from Qi Zhe, a man wearing a gray long gown was on a high platform, trying his best to tell the origin of Tiandu City.

"It is said that in the ancient times, this capital city was originally a continuous mountain range, with the main peak reaching ten thousand feet high, and more than a dozen human capitals were scattered nearby."

"But we don't know how long ago it was, a strange nine-aperture stone in the mountains suddenly exploded, and a creature walked out of the stone. As soon as it appeared, it was extremely arrogant and wanted to destroy the world!"

The crowd, who had been listening intently in the building for a long time, suddenly became restless, and someone stood up and shouted:

"Chen Duozui, you're talking nonsense again! If the Holy Spirit were to be born, how could a single sage possibly quell it?!"
