’The Prison Skeleton Gate Master submitted? That man was so arrogant, yet he actually submitted to the Poison Emperor. It seems he was afflicted by his Gu Insects. The Ten Thousand Demon Gu King is truly terrifying!!’

Jin Cai’Er’s gaze narrowed slightly, a look of apprehension flashing deep in her eyes. She had met the Prison Skeleton Gate Master before and knew he was an arrogant and proud expert who would never submit to another.

However, the Ten Thousand Demon Gu King was exceptionally bizarre and could birth countless strange Gu Insects. It was not surprising that the Prison Skeleton Gate Master couldn’t resist the Gu Insects’ corruption and ended up as Shu Feng’s slave.

Jin Cai’Er said with a bitter smile, "Very well! Please!!"

Faced with terrifying existences like Shu Feng and Wei Tuxian, whom she stood no chance of fighting, Jin Cai’Er could only choose to compromise. Otherwise, the entire Taiyin Sect would cease to exist.

Of course, there weren’t many experts who could force the Taiyin Sect to compromise. In the entire Black Tortoise Realm, there was only a handful, such as Shu Feng and Wei Tuxian.

Jin Cai’Er said, "This is our Taiyin Sect’s Celestial Stele Forest. I hope that after Your Majesty, the Poison Emperor, learns our Taiyin Sect’s Martial Arts, you will not casually pass them on to others."

"Rest assured. In this Black Tortoise Realm, the number of people qualified to be taught Martial Arts by me can be counted on one hand."

Shu Feng smiled faintly and stepped into the Taiyin Sect’s Celestial Stele Forest.

’I’ve found it! This is the Taiyin Sect’s legacy Martial Art, the Taiyin Scripture!!’

Shu Feng walked up to a Celestial Stele and channeled his Profound Qi. An image of a beautiful woman in a white palace gown immediately appeared on the stele and began to demonstrate the unfathomably mysterious Taiyin Scripture.

Shu Feng spent ten days recording all the Martial Arts within the Taiyin Sect’s Celestial Stele Forest.

「Inside the Taiyin Sect’s Treasure Vault.」

"This one!... And this one! I’ll take them all!"

In the Taiyin Sect’s Treasure Vault, Shu Feng pointed to the treasures from their inventory, one by one.

’Thankfully, this guy isn’t asking for our Taiyin Sect’s most precious treasures!!’

Seeing the various treasures Shu Feng was demanding, Su Bai couldn’t help but sigh with relief.

Many of the treasures containing Source Energy were antiques of unknown purpose passed down from the Ancient Era. The only thing that pained Su Bai was that Shu Feng took three Taiyin Stones.

The Taiyin Stone was a rare stone that only had a small chance of forming in a Land of Extreme Yin, and it contained Pure Yin Power. Cultivating the Taiyin Scripture using a Taiyin Stone could achieve twice the results with half the effort. The entire Taiyin Sect only possessed ten of them.

Shu Feng then departed, leaving behind a pile of Spirit Pills from the Da Feng Empire’s Treasure Vault that would be of great benefit to the Taiyin Sect’s cultivation.

As soon as he left the Taiyin Sect, Shu Feng went to one of the Prison Skull Sect’s manors and immediately entered seclusion to cultivate.

「In the Base Space.」

"Source Energy +5,000!"

After Shu Feng threw the last Source Energy-containing treasure he had obtained from the Taiyin Sect into the Resource Dissolving Pool, his Source Energy reserves reached a massive two million.

’Now that I’m stronger, my ability to gather Source Energy has improved as well. Two million Source Energy... first, I’ll use it to strengthen my Divinity, and then I’ll use it to comprehend Martial Arts True Intent!’

A strange light flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes as he stepped into the Energy Evolution Tower.

Countless streams of mucus surged out, wrapping around Shu Feng to form a large cocoon. Two rays of golden Divine Light flowed out from two pipes, surged into Shu Feng’s body, and merged with the mysterious Curse Seal formed by his Agile Divinity.

As the two units of Agile Divinity surged into Shu Feng’s body, every one of his cells began to transform and evolve. The meridians and muscles in his body grew thicker, stronger, and tougher. Only in this way could he withstand the power of a Divine Burst.

「Seven days later.」

CRACK.

Shu Feng emerged from the large cocoon. A sharp glint flashed through his eyes, and with a thought, lines of information appeared before him.

"Shu Feng."

"Divine Life Form. Power Divinity 10/10, Agile Divinity 3/3, Defense Divinity 1/1."

"Divine Traits: Fixed Increase in Strength Performance 500%, Fixed Agility Enhancement 150%, Fixed Increase in Defense Enhancement 50%, Divine Resistance +14, Immune to High-level Lethal Spells!"

"Power 4,100 (+100), Agility 3,900 (+300), Defense 3,800 (+100), Constitution 3,900 (+100), Intelligence 4,000 (+100), Spirit 4,300 (+100), Magic Power 500 million, Profound Qi 4.9 billion (+100 million), Badge Power 1,320,000."

"Charm 3,250 (+50), Spiritual Power 500 million, Holy Soul 14 units."

’My physical stats didn’t increase by much. However, with the boost in Agility, my combat power has soared once again. I’m still 1,000 points short of Demigod Level physical stats.’

Shu Feng looked at his physical stats, and the corner of his mouth lifted slightly. With his physical stats alone, he could now obliterate some of the weaker Martial Saints.

Duke Bari, the one Shu Feng had killed, had average physical stats as high as 5,000. The reason its Power couldn’t match Shu Feng’s was because it was greatly suppressed in the Black Tortoise Realm, only able to exert its physical stats at an average of 2,000 to 3,000.

This level of terrifying strength was only possible for the Void Demon Dukes because the Void Demon Battlefield had been embedded in the Black Tortoise Realm and eroding it for a hundred years.

In a world like the Blue Star Realm, which had not been eroded by the Void Demon Realm, when an expert of the Void Demon Duke level descended, their physical stats would be suppressed to around 700.

Shu Feng was only able to exert his full combat power because his Base Space had analyzed the rules of the Black Tortoise Realm. Furthermore, he had fused with most of Han Feng’s soul, fought using Profound Qi, and had not revealed his true form.

When any Spirit Saint Level expert ignited their Divine Fire and evolved into a Demigod, their physical body and soul would undergo a complete, transformative evolution. That evolution would allow their physical stats to skyrocket to a terrifying degree.

Shu Feng’s physical stats had already surpassed many Spirit Saint Level experts, but they still couldn’t compare to many Demigods.

Shu Feng left the Energy Evolution Tower and strode into the Tower of Laws.

Inside the Tower of Laws sat a ten-meter-tall Crystal Pillar, on which were inscribed countless profound Cloud Mist Patterns. Those unfathomably mysterious Cloud Mist Patterns were Ling Zhaokong’s True Intent of Clouds.

As Shu Feng gazed at the Cloud Mist Pattern, he immediately felt an incomparably mystical sensation, as if he were comprehending a sliver of the mysteries of clouds from it.

’It’s no good!! Martial Arts True Intent is truly not so easy to comprehend!!’

After an hour, Shu Feng still had nothing to show for it; he only felt that his mastery over the Cloud Demon Hand had deepened slightly. His Intelligence was as high as 4,000 points, already surpassing many Demigods, yet he still found it difficult to comprehend Martial Arts True Intent.

After all, something like Martial Arts True Intent was mysterious beyond measure. Not even Divine Spirit Level Void Demons could necessarily comprehend it; otherwise, the Black Tortoise Realm would have long since been breached by the Void Demon Clan.

Many Demigods in the Void Demon Realm were not known for their Intelligence; some were even feeble-minded. They were able to evolve into Demigods because their bloodline Talents were powerful enough.

"Consume Source Energy and accelerate my comprehension of the True Intent of Clouds!"

A decisive look flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes as he commanded.
