Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 70 Refining the Spiritual Treasure
The Five Elements Ruins Realm is a continent suspended in the void, which is equivalent to a flat earth with a round heaven.

There are fifteen major powers in the entire Ruins Realm: three palaces, two royal palaces, and ten federations.

Ten federations were equivalent to ten city alliances, forming the rudiments of a nation.

The three halls are the Holy Fire Hall, the Holy Water Hall, and the Holy Soil Hall, while the two palaces are the Evil Metal Palace and the Evil Wood Palace.

The Five Elements Spiritual Treasures are the most precious treasures of these three palaces and two halls. More than half of the Five Elements Origin Spiritual Treasures existing in the Five Elements Ruins Realm are in the hands of these five forces.

Di Yi remembered that these five spiritual treasures were the Golden Divine Mushroom, Purple Cloud Agarwood, Black Water Glazed Crystal, Source of Spiritual Fire, and Nourishing Sacred Blood Soil.

Several hours later, the group killed the fourth-tier savage beasts along the way, accumulated dozens of military merit points, and finally walked out of the mountains and forests.

Han Qiu held a piece of crystal-clear spiritual flesh in his hand, and used dark power to directly devour it, converting it into his own martial arts true energy, instantly making his aura much stronger.

With Di Yi's help in resolving the hidden dangers of the Dark Body, Han Qiu also released the suppression of the Dark Body and began to recklessly use the devouring power of the Dark Body to rapidly improve his cultivation.

There are also native humans in the Five Elements Ruins Realm; the Three Palaces, Two Halls, and Ten Federations were all established by humans.

The land beneath their feet belonged to the Thick Earth Federation, one of the Ten Federations, and was adjacent to the Holy Earth Temple.

The Thick Earth Federation consists of thirteen cities, each with its own lord.

In Yellowstone, one of the thirteen cities, Di Yi spent some time learning the language of this world.

Once one's mental strength reaches level 40, one can learn any language. His current mental strength has reached level 39, which is not far from level 40, so learning a completely new language is not difficult.

"Young Master, the investigation is complete. There are two Grand Mages and over two hundred and forty Mages in Huangshi City, but there is no King of Mages," Ziyuan reported.

There is no martial arts lineage within the Five Elements Ruins; instead, people cultivate magical power. The strength of a mage is equivalent to a martial artist at the early stage of the Earthly Realm to the middle stage of the Heavenly Realm. A grand mage is comparable to a martial artist at the Great Perfection or Great Heavenly Realm, while the king of mages is equivalent to a martial artist at the Fish-Dragon Realm.

The number of Dharma Kings is very small; it is estimated that there are only twenty or thirty in the entire Five Elements Ruins Realm. Huangshi City is just an ordinary city in the Thick Earth Federation, so it is not surprising that there is no Dharma King.

"Then let's just take action. Let's capture the City Lord's Mansion and see if there's anything we need inside." Di Yi's voice was calm, showing no pity for the creatures of the Void Realm.

The Void Realm and the Kunlun Realm are in a hostile relationship. In the eyes of the beings of the Void Realm, the cultivators of the Kunlun Realm are extraterrestrial demons and invaders. Once their true identities are discovered, their first reaction is to kill them.

This has nothing to do with race or cultivation level; it's entirely due to differences in factions and stances. It's the general trend of the entire Kunlun Realm, something that one or two martial artists cannot change.

An hour later, the city lord's mansion of Huangshi City was breached, all the experts in the city who had reached the Earth Realm were killed, the ruling class was almost wiped out, and the entire city was plunged into unprecedented chaos.

Han Qiu drained the mana from the city lord of Huangshi City, making his true energy even more powerful, and entered the mid-stage of the Heavenly Realm.

The city lord of Huangshi City and another grand mage in the city both died by Di Yi's sword, contributing two hundred military merits to him.

Ziyuan and her companions turned the entire city lord's mansion upside down and found the treasure vault.

"Young master, we have found the Five Elements Spiritual Treasures."

Ziyuan emerged from the treasure vault, holding a clump of blood-red soil in her hand, exuding a rich aura of earth elemental origin.

It is the 'Nourishing Sacred Blood Soil' among the Five Great Treasures.

Emperor Di's eyes lit up. He took it and weighed it in his hand; it was about seven or eight pounds. "It's a pity we only found this one piece of Nourishing Saint Blood Soil. With the strength of the Yellow Stone City Lord, it's really not like he could possess such a large quantity of treasures," Zi Yuan said with some regret.

"The Three Palaces and Two Palaces are the true rulers of the Five Elements Ruins. The vast majority of the Five Elements spiritual treasures are in the hands of these five forces. If you want to obtain a large number of Five Elements spiritual treasures, you can only try to find a way from these five forces."

"Ziyuan, take Ale and the others and first take over the city lord's mansions of the surrounding cities, and collect all the Five Elements spiritual treasures."

Di Yi gave the order, looking at the Nourishing Saint Blood Soil in his hand, his heart burning with excitement, yet he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

If it weren't for the Eastern Sacred Academy, his status as the young master would have been enough to directly mobilize a team of elite Heavenly Realm warriors from the black market, which would have been enough to sweep through the entire Five Elements Ruins Realm and avoid all this trouble.

Now, I can only rely on myself.

It's not that relying on oneself is bad, but if one relies on oneself before becoming the young master and still relies on oneself after becoming the young master, then isn't being the young master a waste?

In the future, it's better to delegate these arduous tasks to subordinates.

Emperor Yi smiled and put these thoughts out of his mind. Fortunately, it was just a low-level Void Realm, which he could handle on his own.

Moreover, even if it were feasible to use the Heavenly Realm warriors of the black market to sweep away the Five Elements Ruins, he would probably only get a small portion of the Five Elements Spiritual Treasures, with the majority being taken by the saints of the black market.

Having found a clean and tidy room in the city lord's mansion, Emperor Yi began to attempt to refine the Nourishing Saint Blood Soil.

Nourishing Sacred Blood Soil is a primordial spiritual treasure of the earth attribute. Only about ten catties of it needs to be refined to transform an ordinary martial artist into an earth-spiritual treasure body and join the ranks of geniuses.

Such a treasure, if placed in the Kunlun Realm, could attract fierce competition from powerful clans and sages, who would then use it to cultivate even more outstanding successors.

Di Yi already possessed the foundation of an extremely powerful physique, so there was no need for him to cultivate any more precious bodies. The Five Elements Origin Spiritual Treasures were merely adding the final leaves to the already established giant tree branch of the Five Elements Divine Demon Body.

As the Heavenly Demon Black Hole Diagram activated, his palm seemed to transform into a black hole, continuously devouring the Nourishing Saint Blood Soil in his hand.

Earth-elemental primordial energy continuously flowed into his body, changing his physical form and slowly improving his physique.

Besides creating a treasure body, the Origin Spiritual Treasure can also enhance a martial artist's cultivation. Refining one pound of Origin Spiritual Treasure is equivalent to a year of arduous cultivation for an ordinary Heavenly Realm martial artist.

Ziyuan led Ale and his group to conquer nine cities in less than ten days, collecting nearly a hundred catties of Nourishing Saint Blood Soil and more than thirty catties of Black Water Glazed Crystal.

The successive fall of cities alarmed the Dharma King-level experts of the Holy Land Temple, who came to investigate the situation.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, Di Yi refined ten catties of Nourishing Saint Blood Soil, completely satisfying his physical body's need for earth-attribute spiritual treasures. His martial arts cultivation advanced greatly, and he stepped into the peak of the Great Extreme Realm in one fell swoop, only one step away from becoming the Great Perfection Realm.

Ziyuan, Ale, and the four Zhao brothers also obtained a portion of Nourishing Sacred Blood Soil sufficient to cultivate a precious body, and began refining it.

Han Qiu was born with a dark body, and even if she refined the Five Elements spiritual treasures, she could not cultivate a treasure body. However, she could rely on her dark body to devour various spiritual objects and rapidly improve her cultivation. As long as there were enough resources, Han Qiu could complete the martial arts path that other Heavenly Realm martial artists would take decades to complete in one or two years.

Emperor Yi's foundation in the first three realms of martial arts is incredibly solid. His mastery of techniques and martial arts has reached an extremely high level, making him unmatched by most martial artists in the Fish-Dragon Realm.

One only needs to refine enough Five Elements spiritual treasures to rapidly improve one's cultivation level, with no bottlenecks whatsoever, just like a Kun transforming into a Peng, soaring straight up.

Just as Di Yi was about to refine the second Five Elements Spiritual Treasure, the Black Water Glazed Crystal, a loud noise came from outside Huangshi City. A powerful aura enveloped the entire city, indicating that a Dharma King-level expert from the Holy Land Palace had arrived.
