"The master of the Tianji Pavilion is truly a divine being! This is a semi-saint level treasure!"
Liu Qiankun was putting all the human-faced flowers into his spatial ring while continuously scanning the corpses. As he lifted his eyes, he saw a semi-saint level hammer smashed onto the body of a beast.
Although it had been eroded by countless years, the great hammer was already battered and lost its former glory. However, if it were to be reforged, it would likely become at least a top-tier heavenly treasure.
"What a good baby, these are all good things!"
The dignified master of the Feiyun Sect, upon entering the Liangyi Mountain, was like a country bumpkin in the city, constantly sighing in awe.
At the same time, a large amount of resources was also loaded into the space ring.
In less than half an hour, Liu Qiankun's space ring was filled to the brim.
Looking at the treasures scattered all over the place, Liu Qiankun took a deep breath, trying to calm his excited heart.
Not to mention the treasures that couldn't fit, just the cultivation resources Liu Qiankun stored in his spatial ring could multiply his net worth three or four times.
"With so many cultivation resources, once I break through to the Longevity Realm, I can immediately forge a semi-saint artifact suitable for myself. By then, there will be few ordinary Longevity Realm cultivators who can match me."
"Gather all the treasures within the Two Instruments Mountain and give them to the master of the Tianji Pavilion. Perhaps it can be exchanged for a chance at becoming a semi-saint. Once I break through to semi-saint, I can fully explore the Wind Cave and uncover the secrets left there by the founding patriarch."
"By then, the Feiyun Sect will surely be able to restore the glory of its peak period."
Muttering to himself, Liu Qiankun's mind seemed to already conjure up the scene of him bringing glory to his family.
He glanced at the treasures on the ground again and shook his head, "The most urgent task is to break through to the Longevity Realm as soon as possible. Otherwise, no matter how good the things in here are, I won't be able to take them out!"
After muttering to himself, Liu Qiankun stood up once more and began to walk step by step towards the top of the crimson skeleton!
On that mountain of piled corpses, a figure holding a sword stands proudly. Countless years have passed, yet that figure still stands atop the remains of the foreign races. This is the responsibility of the First Sword Saint of that time, the Great Saint of Nanlin!
"Great Sage, I have come this time seeking a method for immortality. As fellow sword cultivators, if you possess the means, please aid me in achieving eternal life. Once I leave the Two Yi Mountain, I will surely build a shrine and a temple for you, singing your praises and extolling your virtues."
As the words fell, a divine light suddenly shot out from the brow of the Great Sage of the Southern Lin, heading straight for Liu Qiankun's forehead, and instantly penetrated.
At the same time, a voice echoed between heaven and earth: "Hahaha, after such a long time, someone has finally broken through the killing array I set up!"
"Immortality? I will accompany you on this journey, so what does it matter?"
As the words fell, Liu Qiankun seemed to be in communion with the heavens and earth, sitting cross-legged in the sky.
Immediately, with Liu Qiankun's body as the center, bolts of thunderous lightning shot up to the sky, reaching straight for the pinnacle of the heavens.
In that instant, countless gazes fell upon the sky above Dragon City.
The first to bear the brunt was the royal family of the Northern Flame Empire.
Emperor Ye Hongtian stared wide-eyed at the thunderous light shooting into the sky for a long time before finally speaking: "It's the direction of Dragon City again. Judging by this commotion, is someone breaking through to immortality?!"
"Not at all!" Imperial Teacher Zhao Wuji stood behind Ye Hongtian, his eyes like those of a hawk, staring intently at the lightning in the sky. "Your Majesty, look closely. That bolt of lightning just now was not caused by breaking through to immortality and triggering the heavenly tribulation!"
"Instead, someone struck a heavenly tribulation towards the sky... defying fate!"
"Could it be that someone is attempting to break through to the Semi-Saint level?!"
"Half-Saint! Heaven bless our Northern Flame, the Northern Flame Dynasty is about to produce a saint!"
Sure enough, it seemed to be influenced by the Heavenly Dao tribulation thunder unleashed by Liu Qiankun. At this moment, all the dark clouds of the Northern Flame Empire had gathered above the Liangyi Mountain.
For thousands of miles, thunderclouds roared.
Centered on the Two Instruments Mountain, the lightning began to spread outward in the shape of a hexagram.
Such a formation, such momentum, there is no mistake; someone must be breaking through to become a semi-saint!
"Your Majesty, this person is definitely breaking through to the semi-saint level!"
In a single day, two celestial phenomena occurred. Could it be that the dragon vein has shifted eastward, reaching Dragon City?!
Dragon City!
Dragon City!
Emperor Ye Hongtian slapped his own forehead: "Why didn't I think of it earlier? The leader of the Northern Flame Dynasty must be in Dragon City. There was a reason our ancestors named that remote place Dragon City."
"It seems that General Zuo's journey is a long and arduous one..."
At the same time, the imperial capital, Prince Ping Tian's mansion!
"Mo Yuntian, is there any movement from His Majesty the Emperor?" Prince Ping Tian, the elder brother of the Emperor of the Northern Yan Dynasty, Ye Hongdao, asked.
The retainer Mo Yuntian cupped his hands respectfully and said, "General Zuo Yuwen Xing left the imperial city at noon today. Judging by his direction, he should be heading to Longcheng!"
"Dragon City? They must be going there because of the celestial phenomenon, probably intending to recruit that powerful figure attempting to break through to semi-sainthood."
"My younger brother, it seems that as long as the military power is in my hands, it will always be a source of worry for him."
"Your Highness, if the Emperor truly manages to recruit that semi-saint powerhouse, I'm afraid the military power in your hands will indeed change hands."
"Hehe, no rush. It's not that easy to recruit someone of semi-saint level power. Get ready, I have a feeling that His Majesty the Emperor will be leaving the city soon."
"As long as he leaves the imperial city, don't let my brother come back."
On the other side, at the headquarters of the Tian Sha Sect.
The master of the Tian Sha Sect, the Old Demon Ghost, slowly opened his eyes from his meditative state, staring intently at the surging thunder tribulation in the east.
"This familiar aura... is it... Liu Qiankun?"
"But Liu Qiankun's cultivation is only at the peak of the Cauldron Transformation Realm. How could he possibly break through to Semi-Saint in one go!"
"Impossible, there must be some mistake. What on earth is happening over in Longcheng? To have two celestial phenomena in a single day, it seems we really need to investigate this thoroughly."
At this moment, on the border of the Northern Flame Empire, a masked woman also looked at the thunder tribulation with a slight frown.
"The Northern Flame Empire! Dragon City! What kind of place is it really?"
"A demi-saint has descended; it seems I need to conduct a thorough investigation."
