In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. During this time, Gu Changsheng stayed with Ye Hongyi in the Dragon Palace, allowing her and the Heavenly Peng Crown Prince to sort through the ancient books within.
If it were Li Beifei, he would definitely have objections to Gu Changsheng's decision, but Ye Hongyi and the Heavenly Peng Crown Prince wouldn't think that way. They only felt that their master (Holy Emperor) asked them to do this for a reason.
And so it happened that one day, while sorting through the ancient books, the Heavenly Peng Crown Prince suddenly discovered a painting exuding an aura of antiquity.
The Heavenly Peng Crown Prince held the painting in his hands and carefully opened it. Suddenly, two powerful auras burst forth from the painting. The Heavenly Peng Crown Prince's body was sent flying hundreds of feet away with a 'bang.' He spat out several mouthfuls of blood in mid-air, and when he landed, his face was pale, his spirit was weak, and he had lost most of his life.
Ye Hongyi, who was not far away, glanced at him but paid no further attention, continuing to sort through the ancient books she needed to organize.
The Heavenly Peng Crown Prince didn't utter a single cry of pain. Instead, he skillfully took out a Nine Revolutions Life Renewal Pill from his bosom and swallowed it. Instantly, he was fully revived on the spot. This action seemed to have been repeated many times, otherwise, who would normally carry a Nine Revolutions Life Renewal Pill in their bosom instead of storing it in a magical jade bottle?
Ye Hongyi and the Heavenly Peng Crown Prince had indeed experienced many similar situations during the past six months. Ye Hongyi was fine. After the first time, she obediently put on the treasure armor that Gu Changsheng had given her. After wearing it, even if the aura of some ancient objects was strong, it was just a refreshing breeze in front of the treasure armor. But the Heavenly Peng Crown Prince didn't have the treasure armor refined by Gu Changsheng, so he was often blown away by the aura emanating from some ancient objects.
However, these ancient objects had undergone the erosion of a long period of time, and it was already a great fortune that they could be preserved until now. Their aura was only equivalent to the逍遥境(Xiaoyao Realm), so although he would be hit every time, fortunately, he followed a master who didn't lack life-saving pills. After experiencing it many times, he was used to it.
As long as he didn't die, one Nine Revolutions Life Renewal Pill could help him withstand three attacks.
At this time, the painting had fallen to the ground. Just as the Heavenly Peng Crown Prince was about to pick it up to see what was painted on it, suddenly, two divine glows rose from the painting. One divine glow transformed into a fiery red divine dragon, soaring within the Dragon Palace, its appearance consistent with the dragon corpse.
The other divine glow stunned the Heavenly Peng Crown Prince. That divine glow unfolded and transformed into a Golden-Winged Great Peng bird whose size was no less than the divine dragon. It soared in the air, fighting with the divine dragon.
The two massive figures formed a picture of the Heavenly Peng battling the Dragon.
Seeing this scene, the Heavenly Peng Crown Prince's eyes shook. He had also cultivated the Heavenly Peng Battling Dragon Technique, which was created by his father, the Heavenly Peng Ancient Emperor. However, the dragons his father had seen were only蛟龙(Jiaolong), far less real than the divine dragon in front of him.
For a time, the Heavenly Peng Crown Prince watched this scene with fascination, and a mysterious aura emanated from his body. He actually entered the enlightenment state that countless cultivators dreamed of.
Coincidentally, when Ye Hongyi saw this picture of the Heavenly Peng battling the Dragon, unlike the Heavenly Peng Crown Prince, she focused her gaze on the divine dragon in the sky.
This picture of the Heavenly Peng battling the Dragon was not a static picture, but a moving picture. The fiery red divine dragon soared through the clouds, engaging in a fierce battle with the Golden-Winged Great Peng bird in the nine heavens.
Ye Hongyi observed every move of the divine dragon in the sky, staring blankly, and involuntarily began to practice her fist techniques.
"Roar!"
Faintly, the sound of the divine dragon's roar emanated from Ye Hongyi's fist.
This was the True Dragon Fist Technique that Ye Hongyi created. Previously, she could only observe the True Dragon Totem on the innate Dao Diagram to improve her fist techniques, but limited by her cultivation, the True Dragon Totem on the innate Dao Diagram was always elusive, giving a sense of unreality. But what she saw now was different.
Since this painting could be collected here, it was obviously not an ordinary object.
Gu Changsheng had told them that the owner of the Dragon Palace, that is, the dragon corpse, had reached the realm of a top-tier True Immortal before his death, but he failed when he attacked the Immortal King Realm. His soul dissipated, leaving only his body lying in the Dragon Palace, enduring for a long time without decaying.
Under normal circumstances, after such a long time, the dragon corpse would have long since undergone corpse transformation. However, this True Dragon seemed to have considered the consequences of his failure to attack the Immortal King Realm before his death. He set up a huge barrier around the Dragon Palace. This barrier abandoned all defensive functions and only retained the power of sealing, suppressing the dragon corpse within the Dragon Palace.
It must be said that this dragon's heart was not bad, but it still failed after all.
The Heavenly Peng Crown Prince was in a state of enlightenment, while Ye Hongyi was also observing the divine dragon to improve her True Dragon Fist Technique.
And what about our Gu Changsheng?
He was in Flame City at this time, taking over the tavern that originally belonged to Madam Zhu.
And he gave the tavern a name.
Changsheng Tavern!
Gu Changsheng expressed great satisfaction with this name.
This day, he was leisurely lying on a grandmaster's chair, drinking peach blossom wine that he had purchased from Fanghua City.
Peach blossom wine was not a very special wine. Wherever there were peach blossoms, there was peach blossom wine. However, the peach blossom wine from Fanghua City was the most special of peach blossom wines. In addition, there were no peach blossoms on Firecloud Ancient Star. Once the peach blossom wine was launched, it occupied 80% of the business in Flame City, causing the owners of other taverns to be envious and jealous.
During this period, there were people who came to Gu Changsheng to make trouble, but those who made trouble disappeared, so no one dared to make trouble for Gu Changsheng again.
And Changsheng Tavern had become a special shelter in Flame City, because fighting was prohibited in the tavern. Those who violated it, no matter how strong their cultivation was, had been turned into ashes. This gave a glimmer of hope to some who were weak but were being hunted down.
Feng Chen was one such person.
Feng Chen was a native of Firecloud Ancient Star, and his cultivation was only at the Nirvana Realm Third Level. At other times, the Nirvana Realm Third Level could have a good life on Firecloud Ancient Star, but now that the Starry Sky Ancient Road had opened, almost all the geniuses of the mortal world had gathered on the Starry Sky Ancient Road. The Nirvana Realm Third Level, facing those genius challengers, being able to escape was already a great fortune. Wanting to have a good life?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Feng Chen had obtained something that he couldn't obtain at his realm, and the news leaked, so he was being hunted down. He heard that there was a place called Changsheng Tavern in Flame City, where all killings were prohibited, so he fled to Changsheng Tavern.
Of course, this process was extremely difficult. Feng Chen exhausted all his trump cards and resources to barely enter Changsheng Tavern.
He looked at the tavern's signboard and murmured, "Changsheng Tavern, Changsheng? What big words!"
As soon as he entered Changsheng Tavern, he saw Gu Changsheng lying on a grandmaster's chair drinking wine. At this time, there were people drinking all around the hall. Feng Chen found an empty seat and shouted loudly, "Bring me a pot of the best wine."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent. Everyone looked at Feng Chen. Feng Chen's scalp was numb from their strange gazes, but he had just experienced a hunt and was exhausted. He didn't think much about it and continued to shout, "Hey, is there no one to greet guests?"
"If you want any wine, get it yourself. This shop doesn't have any service staff."
At this time, Gu Changsheng said lightly, lying on the grandmaster's chair.
