The divine emperor fruit tree.

The God Emperor's corpse is needed as nutrients to produce the real God Emperor Fruit.

At this point.

The Divine Emperor Fruit Tree is similar to the Divine Lotus of Creation.

but.

There are some differences between the two.

The Divine Lotus of Creation does not have any special requirements. As long as it is the corpse of a living being, it can be used as nutrients for its own growth. However, the more powerful the corpse of a cultivator, the stronger the effect it brings.

But the Divine Emperor Fruit Tree is different.

The corpse of a god has almost no effect on this kind of magical medicine.

Only the real corpse of the God-Emperor can serve as nutrients for the God-Emperor Fruit Tree.

The reason for this is that the Divine Emperor Fruit Tree is not so much refining the flesh and blood power of the Divine Emperor's corpse as it is refining the power of rules contained in the Divine Emperor's corpse.

Only the Divine Emperor Fruit born from the Divine Emperor rules can allow other cultivators to break through to the Divine Emperor level, and can also allow the true Divine Emperor to make a breakthrough.

If not.

Even the Divine Emperor Fruit Tree does not have such magical effects.

Think of this.

Shen Changqing took another look at the corpses of the many powerful men in the cave, among whom there were a few at the God Emperor level. Although the number was not large, it was possible that they could produce new God Emperor Fruits.

Thoughts moved slightly.

Several broken corpses appeared and fell in front of the Divine Emperor Fruit Tree.

The magic medicine seemed to sense something, and immediately its roots broke through the ground and forcibly dragged the corpses in. Then the leaves of the magic tree swayed slightly, and all kinds of Taoist rhymes emanated from it.

These Tao rhymes.

It is the rhyme of the Divine Emperor.

but.

If you want to truly make the Divine Emperor Fruit Tree bloom and bear fruit, it is not enough to have the Divine Emperor's corpse; it will take a long time.

at this point.

It is also very different from the Divine Lotus of Creation.

For the Creation Lotus to mature, it only needs sufficient nutrients, but the Divine Emperor Fruit Tree needs three million years to bloom, three million years to bear fruit, and another three million years to mature.

It takes a full nine million years for three Divine Emperor Fruits to mature.

but.

Even so.

There is no need to say much about the importance of the Divine Emperor Fruit Tree.

Normally.

A Divine Emperor Fruit can allow the Divine Emperor to break through the realm.

Many God Emperors may not be able to break through a small realm even after ten or twenty million years, let alone nine million years.

Three Divine Emperor Fruits.

If it is ideal enough, it should be able to allow the Divine Emperor to break through three realms.

“In the short term, the Divine Emperor Fruit Tree will not show any results, but if the timeline is extended, the situation will be completely different.

If nothing unexpected happens, this magical medicine will become the real foundation of Tianzong in the future."

Shen Changqing looked at the increasingly thriving and mysterious sacred tree and nodded with satisfaction.

He has already provided the nutrients needed for the sacred tree to bear fruit, and the rest is up to time to decide.

The most ideal approach.

That is to give up tens of millions of years to cultivate enough seedlings of the Divine Emperor Fruit trees, and then cultivate mature Divine Emperor Fruits.

Thus.

When the Divine Emperor Fruit Tree bears fruit in the later stage, there will be a considerable number of Divine Emperor Fruits at once.

of course.

Again.

This is the desired outcome.

But it is not so easy to grow the miracle medicine.

Without staying in the back mountain for too long, Shen Changqing returned to the hall which he had not set foot in for thousands of years and began to recover from his injuries.

……

A battle in the nine ancient cities.

Emperor Taichu was severely injured.

His body was pierced by the immortal divine weapon.

On the surface, Shen Changqing seemed to have fully recovered from his injuries, but in fact, he was at the end of his strength, and his strength was far inferior to that of his peak period.

Later in the Tianlei Domain, Shen Changqing used his own essence and blood power to heal the injuries of others, which was like adding insult to injury.

It's just that he has a strong foundation, so he doesn't show much signs of decline.

In fact.

Shen Changqing himself is already full of holes.

If we continue to support it, the problem will only get worse.

This is also the main reason why he did not take action against other gods immediately.

Deal with the gods.

There will be plenty of time in the future.

As long as he recovers from his injuries, destroying the gods will be an easy task.

But now, the first priority is to recover from the injury.

otherwise.

Under the current situation of being suppressed by the rules of the heavens and having suffered severe injuries, Shen Changqing's strength is only one hundredth of what it was. If someone could really see through his true strength, it would be quite a trouble.

After all, judging from the gods that came into being thousands of years ago, such as the Tianpeng clan, Shen Changqing discovered that the heavens were not as simple as he had imagined.

Ancient times.

The heavens are also very glorious.

The coming of the ancient catastrophe caused the rules of the heavens to change. Some strong men went to the Taixu Realm Palace, while some of them lurked in the heavens, waiting for the opportunity to come out.

Since the first Tianpeng clan appeared, who can guarantee that there won’t be a second or third Tianpeng clan?

and so.

Just to be cautious.

Shen Changqing naturally would not let anyone see through his true intentions.

At the same time, the battle in Tianlei Domain is enough to deter other forces. For a long time in the future, it is estimated that no top gods will dare to covet the Tianzong and the human race.

Even if the rules of the heavens were to change once again, and the upper limit of suppression was raised from the level of God Lord to that of God Emperor, it would still be the same.

after all.

Now the netherworld and the heavens are connected.

What happened in the Nine Ancient Cities would spread easily.

Once he became the emperor, even the mighty immortal warriors were severely injured in his hands, which was the best proof.

then.

Shen Changqing cleared his mind and began to recuperate from his injuries.

-

The imperial capital.

above the hall.

All the ministers gathered.

"Your Majesty, most of the Imperial City Guards were killed in this battle, and now there are only about two million left!"

The commander of the imperial guards clasped his hands together, and his heavy voice spread throughout the court, causing many ministers to change their expressions slightly.

The imperial city guards number tens of millions of soldiers, and they are the elite among the elite. Even the weakest of them are cultivators who have reached the perfection of the cave heaven, and there are quite a few who have entered the realm of true immortals.

Now, only two million are left out of the tens of millions of troops, which shows how heavy the loss is.

however.

This is just a microcosm of the war.

In the battle against the Netherworld, there are more than just the Royal Guards participating.

There were tens of billions of human troops participating in this war, but the vast majority of them died in this battle.

no way.

This is the cruelty of war.

same.

This is also because the human race’s foundation is weak.

With the number of top powerhouses limited, if the human race wants to stop the Netherworld's offensive, they can only fill the gap with the lives of a large number of cultivators, so that they can get the moment to turn the tide.

As the commander of the imperial guards finished speaking, other army commanders also reported the casualties of the battle.

Even though Gu Xing had anticipated this, when he heard about such a loss, his face inevitably darkened. A solemn and murderous atmosphere permeated the court, making the atmosphere much more depressing.

Gu Xing spoke only after the last general finished his report, breaking the depressing atmosphere.

"After this war, the human race has a lot of work to do. All vacancies in the army must be filled with all our strength. I want to restore the number of the army to its peak before the war within a hundred years.

In addition, martial arts academies in various places were ordered that all low-level martial arts academies must no longer keep their practices private, to ensure that all martial arts academy students could practice the Dongtian inheritance.

As for the advanced martial arts academy, it can pass on the inheritance of Zhenxian and Daoxian..."

This statement came out.

All the ministers were shocked.

In the past, although martial arts academies recruited students and taught them cultivation techniques, there were restrictions.

For example, in low-level martial arts academies in various counties, many students can only obtain inheritance at the level of Immortal Golden Body. If they want to go higher, they can only enter high-level martial arts academies to practice.

As for the inheritance at the level of True Immortal and Taoist Immortal, only the truly core students of the Martial Academy can study it.

The purpose of doing this is, of course, to ensure that the inheritance is controlled by the martial arts academy, and at the same time it is also a disguised way to ease the contradictions and conflicts with the various sects in the martial arts world.

After all, the reason why various sects in the martial arts world are able to recruit disciples is because they hold many top inheritances in their hands.

If the martial arts academy drastically relaxes the threshold restrictions for top inheritances, it will be a big blow to these martial arts sects.

and so.

The two are about maintaining a delicate balance.

now.

The war had just ended.

Although the imperial court suffered heavy losses, the losses of the various martial arts sects were even more severe.

Gu Xing wanted to seize this opportunity to completely establish the absolute voice of the imperial court, relax the inheritance threshold, and enhance the overall strength of the human race as much as possible.

Even if some sects are dissatisfied, it will not cause much trouble.

Of course.

There are also hidden dangers in doing so.

Even if many top inheritances lower their thresholds, it is inevitable that there will be some uneven cultivators, which will cause some trouble later.

However, this approach can enhance the overall strength of the human race, so the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

This battle.

Gu Xing realized the weakness of the human race's foundation. If he wanted to truly catch up with the other races, he could only relax many inheritance restrictions and cultivate enough strong people through the process of survival of the fittest.

The other ministers naturally understood Gu Xing's thoughts, so they did not speak out against it.

at this time.

Dongfang Zhao clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, has the Tianzong who killed so many powerful gods taken any further action?"

"The Tianzong has not made much movement for the time being. I think this battle has caused them a lot of losses, so they must rest and recuperate.

However, given Shen Zhenshou's character, this matter will not end like this.

I asked you to fill up the army with this in mind.

I will discuss the specific matters with Shen Zhenshou at that time."

Gu Xing said calmly.

Each of those hidden gods represents a large amount of resources. If there is a chance, the imperial court will certainly not miss it. However, these powerful gods were killed by Shen Changqing after all, so the imperial court cannot just reap the benefits.

and so.

These things.

I still need to discuss with Shen Changqing before making a decision.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Mankind, has really made a decision. I believe that the Tianzong will obey..."

A minister stepped out, his words full of flattery.

however.

When he finished speaking, there were rarely many voices of agreement in the court.

Gu Xing looked at him deeply, then looked at the other ministers and said calmly: "There is something I forgot to tell you. The latest news is that Shen Zhenshou once severely injured an ancient immortal in the ancient wasteland of the netherworld with his own strength, and raised the prestige of our human race.

This is a blessing for our race, and we should celebrate it together!"

This statement came out.

The official's face turned pale. (End of this chapter)
