Back to the ancient forest, another half a shichen had passed...

Fwoop!!!

Groan!!!

Cough! Cough! Cough!

After another half a shichen, the snow-covered part of the Ancient Forest was almost completely sucked. But Zheng-Fu still could not find the Winter Coffin.

Throughout the time he had been sucking the snow forest, Zheng-Fu had controlled and closely watched the various objects in the woods, but he still had not found the Winter Coffin. And now his fatigue was almost at its peak. If he continued forcing himself to suck up all the forest, he would definitely have slept for several days. But it would not be possible to stop now either. Otherwise, Zheng-Fu would have to wait several days to recover his spiritual energy before starting the suction again.

"All right, I must be patient until the end!" Zheng-Fu gritted his teeth and continued to endure, accelerating suction more than before.

Inside the Heavenly Peach Tree in the Heavenly Flora Garden in Zheng-Fu's dimensional space…

'This kid is really very patient. His talent and motivation are very high. Even though what he is doing may put him at risk, he is still willing to do it. A person like this will surely become majestic in the future if he can go to the main world. But it also depends on the sect he joins.'

The elder thought, imagining about Zheng-Fu's good future after entering the main world. At that time, Zheng-Fu would definitely be greater and more powerful than he was back then since, even in this small world, Zheng-Fu had this much talent and luck.

If he could go to the larger main world and have more aids and magic items, he would grow very strong. But that was a matter for the future, which may change in any direction at any time. It was also destiny for the elder to meet Zheng-Fu. And the elder thought that he would help Zheng-Fu to atone for his sin.

The acceleration in the suction speed made Zheng-Fu's condition twice as bad as before. However, it caused Zheng-Fu to suck up the snowy part of the Ancient Forest twice as quickly as well. It was a very fair exchange. From now on, how long he could endure it was up to Zheng-Fu's strength. He would either run out of energy first or succeed in sucking up the entire inner ancient forest.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

"I must do it! I must suck it all in! Argh!" Zheng-Fu even spat out a small amount of blood after he yelled out just now.

Wooooooooooosh!!!

Flop!!! Flop!!! Flop!!!

Boooooooooom!!!

But suddenly, an explosion resounded within him. Along with that, a terrifying energy wave and immense pressure radiated from Zheng-Fu's body. This was a sign that Zheng-Fu had increased his energy to a new stage, the Divine King stage.

Ah!!!

This advancement brought Zheng-Fu's spiritual energy to fullness once again. Moreover, his energy realm was many folds larger than before. The exhaustion that had arisen suddenly disappeared completely. And at the same time, the remaining snowy part of the Ancient Forest was wholly sucked in. Instead, the former inner Ancient Forest became a vast open space.

"I can't believe you can raise your energy level in such a situation?" The elder's eyes widened in shock. He did not think that Zheng-Fu could increase his energy level because he used spiritual energy beyond his limit.

Thump!!!

Wooooooosh!!!

But Zheng-Fu did not answer. He simply sat cross-legged to balance his energy as well as his rapidly used spiritual energy, which was suddenly replenished because of his energy up-leveling, to bring it back to balance and be as stable as before.

Three shichens had passed...

Phew!!!

Yaaaa!!!

Booooooom!!!

The surrounding open space suddenly exploded. The fragments of rock and clouds of dust were scattered in different directions, along with many large holes. That was because of the force of the excess energy wave released by Zheng-Fu after he was able to balance his energy.

"Ha ha ha! I finally got promoted to the Divine King stage. The density of energy within my body right now is too much. Such a warm and light feeling is very pleasant. But my energy seems much purer than that of my Father-in-law's and other Divine King stage great, skilled martial masters'. It must be because of Heaven Energy within me."

Zheng-Fu was very pleased to be able to advance his energy level. He never thought he could advance to the Divine King stage in such a short amount of time. He had thought it would take several months. After he was promoted to the Divine King stage, his knowledge and understanding of Heaven Energy increased more than ever, as did his awareness of it around him.

Zheng-Fu could feel a lot of Heaven Energy in this Ancient Forest area. It was as if this world were created by a lot of this Heaven Energy. Because of this, Zheng-Fu thought that it was through the accidental absorption of Heaven Energy around there that he was able to advance the energy to the Divine King stage like this.

"This is all because of Wise Elder alone!" Zheng-Fu said as he bowed down to look at his chest with a broad smile.

"Certainly! All because I told you to do this. Not only will you get the snow forest to occupy, but you can even level up your energy to the humble Divine King stage!" Having the opportunity, the elder bragged about it more. He accepted Zheng-Fu's compliment without denying it.

"Hahaha! All right, all right! It's all because of you. Now, let me see where the Winter Coffin is?" Zheng-Fu did not retort or cause the man to lose his face. Instead, he switched to talking about the Winter Coffin.

Wooooosh!!!

Flop! Flop! Flop!

Grooooooaaann!!!

"I found it! I finally found it!"

Suddenly, the ground in the snowy Ancient Forest that Zheng-Fu sucked into his dimensional space trembled. Then that part of the ground slowly separated before a gigantic block of ice burst out of his dimensional space and appeared in front of him.

"This is Winter Coffin? But why does it look like a worm?" Zheng-Fu slowly walked over to look at the huge block of ice before he noticed that it was shaped like a large earthworm.

"Because it is a worm, kid. That's the Earthworm monster beast. I doubt it swallowed your Winter Coffin in and then froze into such a huge block of ice!" the elder suddenly interjected about what Zheng-Fu was wondering.

"Oh, that's how it is. So, I have to break the ice and cut the earthworm's body to get the Winter Coffin out. That's all, then I can bring it to save Fu-Er!" Zheng-Fu said as he raised the Aquatic Dragon Sword, preparing to cut through the ice that covered the Earthworm monster beast.

Woooooosh!!!

Clang!!!

Huh...?

But as a result, it appeared that the extremely strong Aquatic Dragon Sword could not cut through this ice. And he also bounced back several steps. Zheng-Fu was so shocked that he stood there dumbfounded, staring.

"Wha… what… what happened? Why can't you cut it in?" Zheng-Fu exclaimed skeptically.

"Perhaps you need to use fire to melt it!" the elder immediately advised Zheng-Fu.

"Fire? Oh! I completely forgot that this sword is water-elemental. The water and the oil must have reflected each other. Then I'll give the Winter Flame Flying Dagger a try," Zheng-Fu immediately thought of his flying dagger.

All three Winter Flame Flying Daggers were summoned simultaneously. These three flying daggers were on the same level as the Aquatic Dragon Sword, but they were of the fire element with coldness in them. The feeling of being stabbed by these daggers was like being burned, but it would also feel cold to the bone. They were amazing items.

Zing!!! Zing!!! Zing!!!

Bang!!! Bang!!! Bang!!!

Crack!!! Crack!!! Crack!!!

As soon as the three Winter Flame Flying Daggers hit the block of ice, a cracking sound rang out, along with numerous cracks forming on the block of ice. And in the blink of an eye, a huge ice cube shattered, clearly revealing the body of a giant earthworm.

As soon as the Earthworm monster beast escaped the captivity of the ice, it slowly moved its fat, flexible body. It uttered a loud cry and turned to look at Zheng-Fu with fierce eyes.

"Huh! You immediately went on a rampage once you came out? But you played with the wrong person, fatty worm!" Zheng-Fu sneered as he saw the earthworm staring at him before he ordered his flying daggers to dissect its body to bring out the Winter Coffin.

Zing!!! Zing!!! Zing!!!

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Gkeeeeeeeee!!!

The earthworm's painful and tormented roar rang out, along with the green blood splashed all over the ground around that area. But soon, his blood fell to the ground. Those blotches of blood instantly froze and turned into a green ice loaf that looked like green tea ice cream.

Thud…

Boooooooom!!!

And at that moment, the sound of a large object hitting the floor rang out. That voice was from the Winter Coffin, which Zheng-Fu was looking for. This Winter Coffin was not too big. It could fit the body of a person between six and seven feet tall.

"This is Winter Coffin? Finally… I finally found you, Winter Coffin! Fu-Er, wait for me. I'll immediately bring it back to help you," Zheng-Fu was very delighted and excited.

In order not to waste more time, Zheng-Fu hurriedly put the Winter Coffin into his dimensional space again. He placed it in the center of the snow forest he had sucked in to keep the condition of the snowy forest intact. If he had placed the coffin elsewhere, the condition of the forest would probably have returned to normal. And if that was the case, Zheng-Fu would have to waste much of his time dealing with the monster beasts that were released from the ice block's captivity.

Flap!!!

Leaving this Ancient Forest was not as difficult as when he entered it. He had the device to open the dimensional gate and send him back. It led him to return to stand at the entrance of the Ancient Forest in the back of the royal palace's garden again. And there were several great, skilled martial masters guarding the garden.

Thump!!!

"Respect, Royal Son-in-law!" a great, middle-aged, skilled martial master appeared in front of Zheng-Fu with a polite and humble greeting.

"Hmm! Where are my father-in-law and the others?" Zheng-Fu knew this great, skilled martial master. He was one of the guards who followed the Monster King to Huang-Di City in the past. Therefore, Zheng-Fu did not talk much and asked him instantly.

"His Majesty is at the palace of the princess, sir. And he ordered me to lead Royal Son-in-law to the princess' palace as soon as Royal Son-in-law came out!" the great, skilled martial masters immediately replied concisely.

"Thank you very much!" Zheng-Fu nodded to this great, skilled martial master before disappearing without a trace.

Flap!!!

"Ah!!!"

The great, middle-aged, skilled martial master had an extremely shocked expression because Zheng-Fu disappeared before his eyes, without him being able to sense or perceive when Zheng-Fu had disappeared.

"He really deserves to be Royal Son-in-law. May Royal Son-in-law be successful in assisting Princess, please!" said the great, middle-aged, skilled martial master, with his gaze looking towards the direction of Fu-Er's palace. He knew that Zheng-Fu would definitely go that way.
