All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

The Northern Royal Family.

Having been precisely struck by Wang Gan's imperial weapon and forced to flee back to the Northern Plains in a sorry state, Wang Teng, who had gained nothing, couldn't help but laugh mockingly upon hearing the news.
"Has Wang Gan lost his mind?"

"I, Wang Teng, only dare to call myself someone with the potential to become an emperor!"

"Does he really think he's an emperor? The Heavenly Court would be extremely wary of such a title, even of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor."

"How dare he establish his own Heavenly Court?!"

Wang Teng frowned as he pondered the matter.
He inherited the legacy of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, knew some ancient secrets, and understood that the words "Heavenly Court" contained great karma and great terror.

But he and Wang Gan are old rivals, and Wang Gan isn't stupid; he probably wouldn't do something that would harm himself and others.

"So be it. Even if Wang Gan is implicated by the Heavenly Court, that's a matter for the future!"

"The most important thing now is to fight Wang Gan! To truly defeat him!"

Wang Teng clenched his fist, his Martial Arts Heavenly Eye flashing with golden light, his tone filled with apprehension.

In the battle with Wang Gan in the Qinling Mountains, at this level of confrontation, there was almost no need for probing; Wang Teng could already feel the gap between himself and Wang Gan!
Not only in the realm of divine prohibition, but Wang Teng was also able to detect that Wang Gan's physical body, soul, and Dao principles had all surpassed his!
Besides surpassing Wang Gan in cultivation by several levels, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Wang Teng had already been defeated by Wang Gan.

Wang Teng sighed deeply.

"If we don't take this opportunity to kill this fellow at the Sendai realm, we'll be even more helpless against him when we break through to the Dao-Severing realm in the future!"

It's not just a matter of combat strength; more importantly, after witnessing Wang Gan's cultivation speed, Wang Teng himself lacked the confidence to quickly break through the Dao and become a king!
After all, severing the Dao is not something you can do at will. Even geniuses at the level of an Emperor's son must undergo trials and tribulations at this stage.

Ancient emperors once nearly perished in this place.

If there are watersheds on the path of cultivation, then the Quasi-Emperor Pass is one; once you cross it, you reach the Supreme Path. The Immortal Three Paths Severance Pass is another.

Before the Dao Severing in Immortal 3, cultivators tempered their physical bodies, accumulated magical power, and sublimated their primordial spirit. After the Dao Severing in Immortal 3, cultivators began to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth and the Great Dao of the universe.

Only by reaching the Dao-Slaying Realm can one call oneself a cultivator.

This hurdle is incredibly difficult; even if the young emperor were to arrive, he would need to spend ten years preparing!

"and"

Wang Teng took a deep breath, recalling the imperial might of the Chaos Green Lotus, and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
"This guy has no martial ethics, no moral conscience, and is not someone who can fight fairly."

"What if they bring out imperial weapons to fight all the time? What's the point of me fighting then?!"

Wang Teng calculated in his mind that even if he obtained the Emperor's Axe of the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, it could only barely be considered an Emperor Weapon.
Wang Gan, however, possessed two imperial weapons!
"No! I need at least one more Emperor-level weapon to protect myself before I can have the confidence to fight Wang Gan to the death and fight him without restraint in the future!"

Wang Teng's eyes flickered, as if he had made up his mind.

the other side,
Among the forty-nine mountain ranges.

The once barren mountain has been transformed into a blessed land, where the essence of heaven and earth swirls into mist, and within it lies a young dragon vein, which is growing strong and healthy in the nurturing of the surrounding mountains.

Wang Gan sat cross-legged in one of the newly opened cave dwellings.

He was toying with a magical elixir in his hand, shimmering with light—an elixir of immortality!

Born within the body of the third-generation Celestial Master Hongmao, nourished by the Qinling Eternal Dragon, it achieved a point of true yang within the yin, a rare occurrence throughout the ages. The resulting precious pill is comparable in efficacy to the elixir of immortality, capable of bringing the dead back to life, restoring flesh and bone, and allowing the Great Emperor to live for another lifetime!
It is in no way inferior to the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill refined by the Emperor.

Wang Gan went to the Qinling Mountains not only for the inheritance of the Azure Emperor, but also for this elixir.

"The Elixir of Immortality. A second chance at life."

Wang Gan's lips curled into a smile, and he tightened his grip slightly.
In an instant, he actually crushed this extremely precious immortal pill into pieces!
A ray of celestial light shot into the sky, more dazzling than the sun, intense and magnificent, with an exceptionally strong yang energy. A refreshing fragrance wafted down, making the entire cave seem like a dream, with light rain and mist!

Under Wang Gan's guidance, the ethereal light transformed from the Immortal Pill slowly descended, landing on a flawless sapling perched on the platform in front of them!

It was a branch of the Immortal Tree that Wang Gan had obtained in the Immortal Abode World!

The withered roots suddenly revived under the misty light, and the pale green branches shimmered with precious light, stretching out like a human embryo.

In an instant, celestial light soared into the sky, chaotic energy swirled around, and divine essence transformed into a dazzling rain of light. The branches of the Immortal Tree grew inch by inch, transforming into a complete treasure tree!

On the precious tree, there were seven branches, each a different color, forming a total of seven colors. The moment the precious tree took shape, an extremely terrifying aura of the ultimate Dao was released, as if a divine realm was descending upon us, suppressing the mortal world!

"The Immortal Seven Treasures Tree is complete!"

Wang Gan smiled with satisfaction upon seeing this.
The method of using this immortality elixir was something Wang Gan thought about again and again before deciding to use it in this way.

After all, no matter how good the elixir of immortality is, if it is not used, it is just a dead thing, unlike the elixir of immortality which can be reborn infinitely and comes with the laws of immortal kings.

As it happens, Wang Gan himself has merged with the Bodhi Tree and possesses a Dragon Pearl containing the True Dragon Immortal Medicine, along with numerous Great Medicine Kings. Even if he doesn't break through to the Great Emperor level, his lifespan will be longer than that of a Great Emperor. Therefore, Wang Gan decided to use this Immortal Elixir on the Immortal Tree.

"In the original story, the Seven Treasures Tree, which was missing a branch and wielded by the Primordial King, was already among the invincible holy weapons,"

Wang Gan sighed.
"I possess a complete and flawless Seven Treasures Tree, which is already a divine weapon above the invincible holy weapon and second only to the emperor weapon!"

As for why it's not an imperial weapon...
"Only Great Emperors can wield Imperial Weapons. As for the mythical tales of several Great Sages forging Imperial Weapons like the Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Cauldron, just listen to them and let them go."

"The more important characteristic of imperial weapons is that they have gone through the imperial tribulation together with the emperor, so they can be indestructible for eternity. Unless there is a fierce extreme imperial war, imperial weapons can almost live forever."

Wang Gan looked at the Seven Treasures Tree in front of him, took it in his hand, and with a gentle wave, a ray of Seven Treasures Light swept a dark area out of the void.

"This Seven Treasures Tree is of sufficient quality, but it lacks the Emperor Tribulation step. As long as I take it through the Emperor Tribulation, it will become a flawless Emperor Weapon with almost no tempering required."

"But even without undergoing the Emperor Tribulation, this Seven Treasures Tree is a perfect blend of offense and defense, with unparalleled power. Unless an ancient emperor takes action, it is an invulnerable entity. Even if it clashed with an ultimate imperial weapon, it would be impossible to determine the victor for a short time."

"It can be used as a semi-divine imperial weapon!"

Wang Gan detailed his own trump cards.

"So, by that calculation, the number of Imperial Weapons I directly command is equivalent to three!"

"Who else in the entire BeiDou community can compare?!"

Wang Gan laughed out loud, which was also the reason he chose to revive the Seven Treasures Tree—his inherited fear of insufficient firepower. (End of Chapter)
