After finishing speaking, the Second Wang did not say a word or ask anything else; he just stood silently beside the king with a thoughtful expression on his face.

As for the others, when they saw the Second Wang did not say anything, they were all silent as well, because no one dared to ask Zheng-Fu anything.

"Zheng-Fu, there are no more monster beasts in the ancient ruins now... Can we send soldiers to explore?" When no one asked, Lu-Bei, who was close to Zheng-Fu, asked a question that many people wanted to ask but dared not. And seeing Lu-Bei asking, everyone had high expectations of Zheng-Fu's answer.

"Of course, there's no monster beast inside. But I can't let anyone in there," Zheng-Fu immediately replied to Lu-Bei.

"Why?" Lu-Bei was very suspicious of Zheng-Fu's answer.

"I can't talk about that right now. Let's just say no one is allowed to go in there. But whoever wants to go in can get it, I don't mind. But without my permission, you guys cannot pass that spell curtain, even by force, unless you find strongmen at the ninth level of the Divine Emperor stage, up to nine people, to destroy it to get in!"

Huh...?

"Nine strongmen at the ninth level of the Divine Emperor stage!!?"

"That's insane! How would it be possible to find nine strongmen at that stage? Just one person is rare."

"Yeah, and is it true that it must take nine strongmen at the ninth level of the Divine Emperor stage to destroy it?"

Many of the nobles and cultivators had disbelief on their faces while chatting about how truthful Zheng-Fu's words were. But no matter how curious everyone was, they did not dare to ask or test. Only the Second Wang was acting weird.

'This child is not ordinary at all. His strength is even greater than mine. His spell curtain is really as strong as he said. Even if the Elder came himself, it would be difficult to destroy this spell curtain. But if the mechanical stone can't be found...' the Second Wang worriedly thought in his mind because he had received a secret mission from an elder long ago.

If he failed to do it, everything he had acquired would be instantly restored, including his life. So, the Second Wang seemed very serious about this. To which Zheng-Fu noticed the Second Wang's expression.

Not only was the Second Wang's strange appearance, but his energy wave that emanated also made Zheng-Fu feel bad. At that moment, he was reminded of what happened a long time ago when Bao-Jin and his younger sister were attacked by a guard. That guard was also an underling of the Second Wang.

'It's not easy to hide one's true abilities and energy so tightly without a great magic item or technique,' Zheng-Fu thought to himself. And after looking at the Second Wang for a while, he found that on his body, there was a purple ornament attached to his chest.

Just now, this accessory flashed a death aura with a dark Qi energy wave similar to that of the Savage Evil Cult. It also seemed very intense and had four parts similar to that of the Demon Clan.

After Zheng-Fu made the announcement, he thought of going back inside the ancient ruins once again, ignoring what anyone else had to say or what their opinion was. But just as Zheng-Fu was about to make the move, the two Phenomenon Pillars of someone being promoted to the Divine Emperor stage appeared.

Whoosh!!! Whoosh!!!

Seeing the two Phenomenon Pillars, Zheng-Fu's expression immediately flashed with a smile. He knew to whom these two Phenomenon Pillars belonged. And everyone around here saw these Phenomenon Pillars. Both of them emitted even stronger waves than Elder Hai-Tu's.

"Someone promoted to the Divine Emperor stage again?"

"And it's two people leveling up at the same time!"

"Who are they that are promoted this time? But that direction is…"

"In-See City!!!"

"In-See City again!? Recently, there was only one pillar, and right now, there are two more pillars. So, if we also count Young Master Zheng-Fu's pillar, then our land already has four Divine Emperor stage martial masters?"

"That's right! Our land now has four Divine Emperor stage martial masters!"

Everyone's expressions turned into great joy that their land already had four strongmen on the Divine Emperor stage. But the person who felt the best was King Lu-Song-Xi, because the more the Divine Emperor stage martial masters existed within the land, the better the land was.

Although it was unknown to whom these two Phenomenon Pillars belonged, King Lu-Song-Xi sensed that they were definitely in Blueland. As for Lu-Bei, he noticed Zheng-Fu's smile just as the Phenomenon Pillars emerged, he could guess that Zheng-Fu had to know the owner of the two pillars.

'Finally, they were able to break through the Divine Emperor stage,' Zheng-Fu internally said, delighted with Dong-Kuang and Hai-Dong being able to break through the level successfully.

Besides the people who were here, the cultivators from other lands were also aware of it. And the incident made people talk about it as the main topic of their conversation. In particular, within large sects and cults, or powerful clans, some movements occurred.

As for the people of In-See City, they had seen and felt the Phenomenon Pillars up close because both Phenomenon Pillars originated in the Beyond Earth Sect, the sect that stood alongside In-See City and was the pride of the people in and around the city.

At the Beyond Earth Sect, inside the grand hall of the main mansion…

"Finally, they can break through the Divine Emperor stage. This little Zheng-Fu is a fortune-teller. How does he know that the two of them will be leveling up soon?" Elder Hai-Tu, who was sitting in this hall, spoke up after the two of them had broken through to the next level.

That was as Zheng-Fu had told him. When the two had successfully broken through to the Divine Emperor stage, they continued to sit and absorb the energy left in the pill. After two days, they opened their eyes because the energy from the pills had run out.

During the period of a month and six days that they had completely absorbed the energy from the pills that Zheng-Fu had given them, both of them were able to break through to a great extent. Although Zheng-Fu had speculated that they would absorb more energy, this was almost the limit that Zheng-Fu had anticipated.

The others, besides the two of them, had continued to absorb the energy from the pills because they still had some left. And in no more than one to two weeks, the energy within those pills would run out. By then, they would all have increased their level to the Immortal Soul stage. And some might even have reached the half-step of the Divine Emperor stage.

Whoosh!!!

Phew!!!

After both of them had stabilized the Qi energy within their bodies, they slowly got up and twisted their bodies because they had been sitting in a cross-legged position for over a month without moving at all. It was natural for them to feel stuck in their joints, but soon, every part came back in perfect condition.

"Finally, my energy level is at the Divine Emperor stage. Ah! This overflowing energy is truly amazing. It's so different from when I'm at the Immortal stage," Hai-Dong said after he stood up and examined his energy and body after being promoted to the Divine Emperor stage.

"Of course, my grandson, the Divine Emperor stage is the identity at the top of all energy stages. So, how could being at the Immortal stage feel the same as the Divine Emperor stage? But even so, don't be arrogant because outside, there are still many Divine Emperor stage cultivators at a much more advanced level than you. And most of those people are on the opposite side of us."

Elder Hai-Tu's voice interrupted Hai-Dong's delight, admonishing Hai-Dong in the sense that 'Above the sky, there is still the universe.'

"I know, Grandfather. I never thought I'd be proud just because I got to the Divine Emperor stage. Though I'm at this stage, I'm not as strong as Little Brother Zheng-Fu. Unfortunately, the pill that Little Brother Zheng-Fu gave was only one pill. If I get two more pills, I believe…"

Flick!!!

"What are these!?"

"These are the pills you want. Little Zheng-Fu told me to give you guys these. And these are yours, Dong-Kuang."

"Thank you, Elder," Dong-Kuang immediately took the pills and thanked the elder without asking much. He knew well that Zheng-Fu would have entrusted various tasks to this elder.

"And besides, Zheng-Fu Kid left a message for you, asking you to deal with the new disciples. After finishing dealing with them, wait for the others to finish absorbing the energy and then start taking the second pill to continue absorbing the energy."

"I understand, Elder," Dong-Kuang bowed his head and said, acknowledging the order Zheng-Fu had given him. He then left the hall, going to check on the new disciples and continuing the work of Zheng-Fu.

"As for you, Grandson, you have no duty…"

"Grandfather, during this time, something bad might happen. I'll go patrol around the city first. I'll wait until they finish absorbing before, I start absorbing the second pill," Hai-Dong knew that Elder Hai-Tu wanted him to start absorbing the energy from the pill, so he interrupted the elder and excused himself to patrol around the city, waiting until everyone finished absorbing the energy.

"Alright, as you please. As for me, I'd like to go to Spells Hall. I want to know how my sorcerer disciples are now," Elder Hai-Tu also had his duties, so he did not even reproach Hai-Dong for his refusal.

"Yes, Grandfather. Then, I'll excuse myself."

Swish!!!

After saying that, Hai-Dong's quickly disappeared. With his new energy level, his speed increased greatly. Plus, with the Qinggong Technique introduced by Zheng-Fu, his speed was comparable to the third level of the Divine Emperor stage, or perhaps higher than the third level by half a step.
