All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

"What?! A supreme being who attained enlightenment through an unconventional method?!"

The three peacock kings immediately changed their expressions.
Below the Great Emperor, those who achieve enlightenment through unconventional means are virtually invincible. Even the supreme beings of forbidden zones can be forced to reach their ultimate sublimation and die.

“Wang Shengzi, you must be joking again. If there really were an unorthodox cultivator, how could the Beidou cultivation world be so peaceful?”

The Crimson Dragon Taoist frowned slightly.

Wang Gan didn't reply, but instead cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards the void.

"We humbly request that Senior Gai appear and meet us!"

Upon seeing the figure of the old man with the disease, Gai Jiuyou, appear, he was surrounded by illness and had a haggard face, but his body was full of energy.
Unfathomable!

The expressions of the three Peacock Kings changed slightly; this person was definitely an unparalleled existence above the level of a saint!

Even if they are on the verge of death, they only need a single thought to kill them here!

"Cai Jiuyou?!"

"The strongest human being from nine thousand years ago?! The first person to attempt the Emperor's Path after the Azure Emperor?!"

Clearly, Gai Jiuyou, the strongest human in the world, was quite famous, even among the demon race.

"You're not dead yet?!"

In his shock, the Peacock King made a slip of the tongue.

It's not fair to blame the Peacock King for his slip of the tongue; nine thousand years is simply too long, long enough that even a great emperor would have to grow old!

"Senior Gai possesses unparalleled talent. If he hadn't been born right after the Azure Emperor, he would surely have become the Nine Nether Emperor."

Wang Gan spoke with certainty.

"Senior Gai is indeed nearing the end of his life, but he is actually a hidden dragon in the abyss, with enough accumulated foundation. He just has some Dao injuries left on his body!"

"As long as the Dao injury can be healed to cover up the accumulation of the previous nine thousand years, I will surely be able to live a new life! I will achieve a supreme status through an alternative path to Dao! I might even be able to challenge the Emperor's Path again!"

Gai Jiuyou glanced at Yan Ruyu, then looked at Wang Gan with a complicated expression.

"I never expected that the Azure Emperor was still alive and that he still harbored a murderous intent in the Qinling Mountains."

"I never expected that you would actually gain the approval of the Azure Emperor."

Gai Jiuyou was of noble character and unwilling to forcibly plunder others to heal his Dao injuries and extend his lifespan.

Otherwise, with nine thousand years of time in the Nine Netherworld and the cultivation of a quasi-emperor at the peak, what divine medicine or opportunity couldn't he obtain?

As a seeker of the Dao after the Azure Emperor, Gai Jiuyou would never offend the Azure Emperor's descendants in order to obtain the Azure Emperor's heart.

But now that Wang Gan has obtained the identity of the Azure Emperor's successor, it is perfectly legitimate for Wang Gan to take the Azure Emperor's heart.

"you mean"

Yan Ruyu's expression changed slightly; she too had thought of a way to treat Gai Jiuyou's injuries.
"Indeed! The Azure Emperor's Heart is ever-renewing, possessing the Dao principle of the elixir of immortality and an inexhaustible supply of the Demon Emperor's lifeblood. It is enough to support Senior Gai in healing his Dao injuries and returning him to his peak!"

"At that time, our Heavenly Court will have a supreme being who has attained enlightenment through unconventional means, enough to suppress all enemies!"

"In addition"

Wang Gan clapped his hands, and Wei Yi Dasheng's figure quietly appeared, bowing towards Gai Jiuyou's direction.

"Adding the Great Sage Tianxuan, that makes one Great Sage."

Wei Yi glanced at Wang Gan and sighed inwardly. Originally, he had protected Wang Gan all the way, only taking action when it was a matter of life and death, just to protect the Tianxuan inheritance and to rescue the Tianxuan Saintess.

But unexpectedly, Wang Gan's intelligence and scheming were too astonishing, and he even dared to utter the words "Heavenly Court"!
This is comparable to when Tianxuan Holy Land attempted to ascend to immortality. It's hard to tell which one was more reckless.

But Wei Yi had no choice at this point, aside from sunk costs.

The potential Wang Gan has shown is enough to justify his bet on him, the Great Sage!
Upon seeing this, the Peacock King and the Crimson Dragon Taoist exchanged a glance, their expressions showing shock.

If Wang Gan's plan succeeds, with a Great Sage plus an alternative Dao-attaining Supreme Being, plus the number of Imperial Weapons in Wang Gan's possession, not to mention the Heavenly Court, it would be enough to overwhelm any force in the Beidou cultivation world, and even the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones would have to bow down!
"Your plan is truly terrifying."

"But this Demon Emperor's Heart was, after all, specially left for me by my ancestors..."

Yan Ruyu sighed, her expression quite conflicted.
Wang Gan smirked and waved his hand.
A dream-level divine essence resembling a magnolia appeared in his hand; it was the one he had just snatched from the Qinling Dragon Cave.

Now that things have come to this, Wang dared not doubt that Yan Ruyu was not tempted, or that she had other options. Her hesitant attitude could only mean three words: more money!
"This"

Yan Ruyu took a deep breath, her heart already wavering.
She is currently in the Dragon Transformation Realm. Even the Azure Emperor's Heart cannot replace the role of Dragon Marrow and Divine Marrow. A Dream-level Divine Marrow is enough to plant the foundation of an Emperor-level being in the Dragon Transformation Realm!

Moreover, the reason for lending out the Azure Emperor's Heart this time is only to heal Gai Jiuyou's injuries, not to refuse to return it.

"Plus two more Nine Secrets!"

Wang Gan has plenty of good stuff in his possession, so he's not worried that Yan Ruyu won't be tempted. He could even knock her unconscious by smashing it.

"make a deal!"

Yan Ruyu agreed without hesitation. She stretched out her jade hand, and the Demon Emperor's Heart flew out from the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

It doesn't have the rough feel of flesh and blood, but rather it's as crystal clear and sparkling as red agate, transparent throughout, radiating a magnificent crimson divine light.

Moreover, even though it had left its physical body, the Demon Emperor's heart continued to beat, and with each beat it emitted boundless demonic power and a life force comparable to a vast ocean!

Seeing the Demon Emperor's Heart flash, it immediately entered Gai Jiuyou's body.

As the ethereal celestial melody of tribulation resounded, Gai Jiuyou stepped into the void step by step, his entire body glowing. The Azure Emperor's essence blood within his body surged and underwent a heaven-defying transformation, as if time itself had reversed.

With each step he took, Gai Jiuyou grew a thousand years younger. After taking nine steps, he possessed unparalleled heroism and peerless elegance. With his black hair flowing down his shoulders, he resembled a celestial king descending to earth.

This is Gai Jiuyou in his youth, handsome and elegant, with an aura that could overwhelm the world, capable of suppressing the entire universe by himself.

"This"

Faced with such imperial might, the three Peacock Kings could not help but prostrate themselves on the ground. This was a being close to the Great Emperor, invincible in the world, and even the Holy Spirit who was close to the Great Perfection could not compare to him!
Wei Yi, standing to the side, also looked solemn and couldn't help but feel a sense of longing.

Wang Gan, relying on the Immortal King's Treasure Technique, resisted this supreme imperial might, and his expression became excited.
How strong would Gai Jiuyou be at his peak? No, he would be an even more advanced version of Gai Jiuyou.

In the original novel, Gai Jiuyou, even on the verge of death, was able to fight to the death against a supreme being from a forbidden zone, demonstrating his extraordinary talent.

Now that Gai Jiuyou has the blessing of the immortal scriptures and has healed his Dao injuries, with nine thousand years of accumulation, advancing to an alternative path of Dao attainment should not be a problem.

If Gai Jiuyou were to wield a suitable imperial weapon, he would probably be able to shake some of the less powerful emperors!

Unfortunately, this domineering and all-powerful state lasted only a few seconds before Gai Jiuyou reverted to his original form.

However, Gai Jiuyou did not look disappointed; on the contrary, he was radiant and very excited.

"The name 'A Lotus Under the Eternal Blue Sky' is truly well-deserved!"

Gai Jiuyou sighed.

"I was merely able to revive to my full glory by burning the Azure Emperor's lifeblood. If this continues, nourishing my physical body, it will surely heal my Dao injuries and allow me to return to my peak!" (End of Chapter)
