Zheng-Fu's energy level was now at the intermediate fourth level of the Divine Emperor stage. When he decided to increase his energy, Zheng-Fu chose half of the Divine Emperor Peach first.

Ngm!!! Ngm!!! Gulp!!!

In the blink of an eye, half of the Divine Emperor Peach was gone. As soon as Zheng-Fu swallowed it, a pure Heaven Energy wave exploded, spreading throughout Zheng-Fu's body and flowing through every pulse point quickly.

Wooooosh!!! Slurp!!!

Zheng-Fu did not hesitate and immediately absorbed Heaven Energy into his energy realm to fill the remaining half. If he had a full energy realm, he would be able to advance to the fifth level of the Divine Emperor stage.

A day passed…

Wooooooosh!!!

A week passed...

Booooooom!!!

At that moment, an explosion sounded within Zheng-Fu's energy realm, signaling that he had successfully advanced to the fifth level of the Divine Emperor stage. His energy realm was twice the size after he was promoted to a new level. When comparing his sea of energy realm to other Divine Emperor stage masters of the same level, his realm would be eight to ten times larger.

In other words, it was comparable to the intermediate ninth level of a Divine Emperor stage cultivator.

"This is not enough. It needs to be increased," muttered Zheng-Fu, slightly upset after he had leveled up. He still wanted to level up even more. But the Divine Emperor Peach's Heaven Energy had only four parts left. Even after absorbing all four parts, Zheng-Fu was only at the late fifth level of the Divine Emperor stage, unable to reach the peak of the fifth level.

Another week passed...

Finally, half of the Heaven Energy within the Divine Emperor Peach was gone. This caused Zheng-Fu to actually stop at the late fifth level of the Divine Emperor stage, as he had thought. When the Heaven Energy within the peach was exhausted, Zheng-Fu took out the first Purple Heaven Crystal and clutched it, beginning to absorb it immediately.

Woooooosh!!!

As soon as Zheng-Fu began to absorb the energy from the Purple Heaven Crystal, a dense energy wave suddenly slammed into Zheng-Fu's body. The Heaven Energy waves from the Purple Heaven Crystal were even stronger than the Heaven Energy waves within the Divine Emperor Peach. They were also much denser.

But because Zheng-Fu had absorbed some Heaven Energy before, the effect he received was less, but it still made Zheng-Fu feel dizzy. If it was someone else in this small world who had never tested Heaven Energy before, they would have exploded and died.

'Is this kid a demon? He can absorb the energy from the Purple Heaven Crystal without anyone teaching or telling him any techniques. If it were anyone else, their body would have exploded and died. Sigh!

If I had had a talent like this kid, I wouldn't have had to suffer such a fate,' the elder who was watching Zheng-Fu from the Heavenly Flora Garden desperately grumbled about his bitter life and his trifling talent. He was so amazed that Zheng-Fu was able to easily absorb the Heaven Energy from the Purple Heaven Crystal without anyone's guidance.

Unlike people from the main world, those from the small world who had never experienced Heaven Energy before would explode immediately if they tried to absorb Heaven Energy into their fragile bodies. Therefore, the people of the small world first had to undergo training and obtain advice from the people of the main world.

But Zheng-Fu was the exception because he had been exposed to Heaven Energy many times before, including the strange-looking golden energy.

Zheng-Fu quickly understood Heaven Energy and was able to absorb that energy into his energy realm. After he began to absorb Heaven Energy, his body and mindfulness meditation increased dozens of folds. His seeing, perceiving, hearing, and smelling abilities had all improved, including the energy within his body that became more intense and purer as well.

The energy that was originally Qi energy was now starting to switch to Heaven Energy.

If Zheng-Fu wanted to cultivate energy in the future, Heaven Energy would be the only choice to allow his energy to increase. If he absorbed Qi energy as he had previously done, it would not support him much. It would be as though Qi energy was an ant while Heaven Energy was an elephant. But of course, Heaven Energy was definitely stronger than Qi energy.

Even if Zheng-Fu was only at the eighth level of the Divine Emperor stage, when faced with a ninth-level Divine Emperor stage cultivator who absorbed Qi energy, the latter would definitely not be his opponent.

Unless it was a Divine King stage cultivator at the peak who was above the Divine Emperor stage and someone who stepped closer to being a cultivator beyond imagination, one could feel Heaven Energy even though it was only very thin.

Wooooooosh!!!

Five days passed...

Twenty days had already passed for Zheng-Fu's closed-door cultivation. The first and second Purple Heaven Crystals had exhausted their Heaven Energy. This caused Zheng-Fu to advance to the beginning of the sixth level of the Divine Emperor stage, and his energy realm was doubled.

"It takes two Purple Heaven Crystals to be able to level up to the sixth level. Would using another eight Purple Heaven Crystals be enough to advance to the seventh level?" said Zheng-Fu with a worried expression because his energy realm size was much larger. He was worried if eight Purple Heaven Crystals would be enough to fill his energy realm.

If that was not enough, he would just sit there crying and cursing the heavens for bullying him, making all Qi energy waves transform into Heaven Energy. So, he only needed to absorb Heaven Energy.

"No!!! I can't give up now. These eight other Purple Heaven Crystals must definitely make me advance to the seventh level!" Zheng-Fu shook off his previous hesitation and trepidation and concentrated on absorbing the energy from the Purple Heaven Crystal.

Back to the outside world...

After Zheng-Fu had entered closed-door cultivation, Hai-Dong immediately started taking the second pill that Zheng-Fu had given him. Dong-Chen and his group also participated in this closed-door cultivation. Dong-Kuang was the one who arranged the schedule for training because they could not all enter closed-door cultivation at the same time, so they needed to be divided into groups.

Over the past twenty days, several sect disciples had been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage. These were mostly new inner disciples and outer disciples. Outer disciples who were promoted to the Nascent Soul stage were all better treated as inner disciples, but they were not prime disciples yet. Inner disciples continued to be treated the same with more resources.

They only had to wait for the disciple's examination before they could be promoted to prime disciples and gain the same rights as other prime disciples.

As for the situation in In-See City, everything remained at peace as the city's troops became stronger. Lao-Ying-Ba and the commanders were even stronger. Lao-Ying-Ba was now at the second level of the Immortal Soul stage. The commanders were all Immortal stage martial masters. Now In-See City was like a second capital city.

Not only were there more martial masters, but the people and territories themselves were increasing. By now, In-See City had combined many surrounding cities into its territory, but those cities still had the same lords; they were simply being sired to Lao-Ying-Ba.

This act could be viewed as an insult to the royal family or a rebellion. But the capital city did not say anything about this. Everyone knew that In-See City had six Divine Emperor stage masters, including the Beyond Earth Sect as well.

The presence of six Divine Emperor stage masters had already caused some other kingdoms to start moving because it would not be good for them if they continued to let Blueland have more Divine Emperor stage martial masters.

Only Foggy Cloud Land, Ancient Winter Land, and Wild Land still had no movement because this situation did not affect them anyway. The lands that made a move were Greenland, Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Country, and Artsy Water Land, which had recently become enemies.

As for the large sects, they still saw this as a small matter. The Divine Emperor stage martial masters were born, so what? They could suppress it anyway with higher energy levels and a greater number of Divine Emperor stage martial masters. As for the big clans and the old clans, they were watching and waiting to reap the benefits of this.

They all had Divine Emperor stage martial masters within the clans as well. Although not as many as the big sects, they could be called a certain strength.

Back to Zheng-Fu within his secret dimensional space...

Two weeks passed…

Booooooom!!! Aaaargh!!!

Suddenly, an explosion within Zheng-Fu's energy realm rang out as Zheng-Fu roared. A golden glow appeared all around him and within his energy realm.

"Finally, I can achieve an energy level up to the seventh level of the Divine Emperor stage!" said Zheng-Fu happily, as he was able to advance to the next level while looking at the remaining two lumps of Purple Heaven Crystal beside him. "The energy inside the Purple Heaven Crystal is really huge. I thought that just eight crystals wouldn't be enough for me to advance to the seventh level.

Anyway, now I only used four of them," said Zheng-Fu. He was still excited and pleased with the result, as he had only used four Purple Heaven Crystals to advance to the seventh level.

The reason for that was that Zheng-Fu was able to absorb more Heaven Energy from the Purple Heaven Crystal and reduce the Heaven Energy loss while absorbing. When he could absorb more, Zheng-Fu only used four Purple Heaven Crystals to level up this time. Of course, he would not rush to use the remaining two stones right now. He kept them in his dimensional ring for his beloved wife, Qi-Er.

For him, only the seventh level of the Divine Emperor stage was enough for now.
