Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 84 The Order of the Dragon, Bu Qianfan

Bu Qianfan stood at the bow of the ship, wearing a set of armor in the standard uniform of a military officer of the Ministry of War, with a battle sword hanging at his waist. His temperament had changed drastically since he was in Yunyang City. Although he was still wild, he had gained more composure and vicissitudes, and his experience and state of mind had become richer.

Di Yi concealed himself and followed him from a distance, observing him. He was surprised to find that Bu Qianfan's martial arts cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, and his body exuded the unique Dao essence of the Five Elements Spiritual Treasures, which were the aura of the Fire Spirit Source and Purple Cloud Agarwood.

After a struggle for control of the Five Elements Ruins, it was finally taken over by several powerful clans, one of which was the Bu Sheng Clan, to which Bu Qianfan belonged.

As the prodigy of the Bu family, Bu Qianfan naturally possessed the five elemental treasures needed to cultivate his precious body.

After mastering the Dual Spirit Treasure Body, Bu Qianfan's physique improved significantly. Although it was not as good as the Sacred Body, it was much better than his previous mortal body. His combat power increased greatly, reaching the level of an Eight Extraordinary Genius, and was no weaker than Huang Shenyi.

Even if he had the Five Elements Spiritual Treasures to greatly shorten his cultivation time, it would be unlikely that Bu Qianfan could raise his martial arts cultivation to the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm in such a short period of time.

After some thought, Di Yi guessed that Bu Qianfan must have obtained the opportunity to cultivate in the Heavenly Wheel Seal.

The flow of time inside the Heavenly Wheel Seal is thirty times that of the outside world. Even though Bu Qianfan only stayed inside for a month, it was equivalent to cultivating for two and a half years.

The Holy Disciple Assessment of the Eastern Domain Holy Academy has been over for more than two months. Bu Qianfan has been cultivating in the Heavenly Wheel Seal for several years, refining the Five Elements Spiritual Treasures, cultivating the Dual Spiritual Treasure Body, and raising his cultivation to the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Extreme Realm, which is quite reasonable.

Given Bu Qianfan's status, even if he came to the Death Ruins to accumulate military merits and break through to the Supreme Realm, he shouldn't be alone. The Nascent Soul Half-Saint is also in the Death Ruins at this moment, just not in the Eastern Continent.

Di Yi observed in the shadows for a while and found no other powerful figures from the Bu Sheng Clan hiding in the dark. With his current spiritual power and True Source Demon Eye, even a half-saint would not be able to keep him completely unaware.

"Strange, does the Bu Sheng Clan really trust him to train alone in the Death Ruins?"

Bu Qianfan's spiritual power was not high, and he did not realize that someone was following him in the dark. He looked at the yellow sky and black soil in front of him, and he was already very familiar with this place.

After being defeated by Emperor Yi, he was taken to the Death Ruins by a half-saint from the Bu Sheng Clan. He fought against the natives of the Fiend Clan for a month, nearly dying several times, before he was able to rebuild his Dao heart and be reborn from the ashes.

Thanks to his military achievements within the Bu Sheng Clan, he was able to enter the Heavenly Wheel Seal for cultivation. He successfully cultivated the Dual Spirit Treasure Body, greatly increasing his combat power and reaching the limit of the Heavenly Realm.

This time, he entered the Death Ruins Realm for the supreme realm of the Heavenly Extreme Realm. Among the six new generation kings, he wanted to be the first to reach the supreme realm of the Heavenly Extreme Realm. Only by reaching the supreme realm twice and then cultivating the Three Spirit Treasure Body, or even the Four Spirit Treasure Body, which is comparable to the Saint Body, could Bu Qianfan be confident that he could surpass Di Yi in the Fish-Dragon Realm and completely break his inner demons.

Bu Qianfan stroked the half-broken token in his hand. An ancient character could be vaguely seen on the token. After being examined by Confucian scholars, it was recognized that it was actually the character '辰', but no one knew what it represented.

This token was found on the body of a Saint Realm abomination by the superior Domain King of the Bu Sheng Clan after he killed the abomination. Since its origin could not be determined, it was bestowed upon Bu Qianfan, a direct descendant, along with many other treasures.

While cultivating within the Heavenly Wheel Seal, Bu Qianfan encountered the Holy Book Talent, one of the Nine Heavenly Mystic Maidens under Empress Chi Yao. The Holy Book Talent told him that this 'Chen' character token might be related to the Twelve Guardian Yuan Chen of ancient Taoism and might contain the secret to achieving Great Sagehood.

"The Twelve Earthly Branches of Taoism?"

Bu Qianfan stared at the token in his hand, lost in thought. Even the saints of the Bu Sheng Clan couldn't discern what was so special about this token, yet he could sense something from it. After some research, he finally found the crux of the matter: the divine imprints in his Qi Sea.

He reached the Supreme Realm during his Yellow Extreme Realm, with divine marks protecting his Qi Sea—something even the saints of the Step Saint Clan didn't possess. The Twelve Yuan Chen are said to be the twelve guardian deities of the Taiji Dao in the Middle Ages, surpassing the Saint Realm and being legendary gods.

This token with the character '辰' (Chen) was able to elicit a reaction from the marks of the gods, and it is highly likely that it is indeed related to the twelve Earthly Branches of the Middle Ages.

Following the subtle senses of the marks of the gods, he locked his target on the eastern continent of the Death Ruins, but he could not perceive any more specific area.

"If I can reach the supreme realm of the Heavenly Realm, I can once again attract the resonance of the gods. At that time, the power of the gods in my Qi Sea will be even stronger, and perhaps I will be able to find the place indicated by the token."

Suddenly, Bu Qianfan turned his head to the side and saw a young Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and a mask slowly walking towards him.

Bu Qianfan raised an eyebrow, placed his hand on the battle sword at his waist, and asked loudly, "Where did this little Taoist come from, and why are you approaching me?"

This Taoist priest was Di Yi in disguise. He was secretly observing Bu Qianfan when he saw the token in Bu's hand. Suddenly, the divine marks in his Qi Sea became restless, and even the True Source Demon Eye showed an unusual reaction.

Emperor Di immediately realized that the token in Bu Qianfan's hand was most likely related to the gods, and might even be connected to the ancient Dao.

The True Source Demon Eye is a product of the two paths of origin and truth. The fact that the True Source Demon Eye can generate a response while the Divine Lotus remains unresponsive is most likely related to the Path of Truth among the nine ancient paths.

With this in mind, Di Yi changed his mind, disguised himself, and deliberately revealed his presence.

With the Divine Lotus in his sea of ​​consciousness, Di Yi was able to alter his most primal aura. Coupled with the mask crafted by the Illusionary Saint, he was able to disguise himself as a Taoist priest so convincingly that even a Saint could not detect any flaws.

He stopped ten feet away from Bu Qianfan, chuckled, and said, "Amitabha, my Taoist name is Qianlong, I greet Captain Bu."

Bu Qianfan is a captain in the Tianwei Battalion of the Ministry of War, a position that many Fish-Dragon Realm experts cannot hold. In the military camp, no matter what qualifications or connections are involved, only strength and military merit matter. Bu Qianfan was able to become a captain entirely because he fought his way up on the battlefield with his sword.

"Hidden Dragon Daoist?" Bu Qianfan's expression showed slight surprise. He carefully examined the newcomer and asked, "Are you Yi Qianlong, the holy disciple of the Two Elements Sect that Zhang Ruochen mentioned?"

"The Two Elements Sect?" Di Yi was taken aback. It seemed that Luo Shuihan had not told anyone his true identity, and Zhang Ruochen still thought he was a disciple of the Two Elements Sect.

"Since Captain Bu recognizes me, he must have learned my name from Prince Yunwu. However, Prince Yunwu is mistaken. I am not a disciple of the Liangyi Sect of the Eastern Region, but a disciple of the Sixiang Sect of the Central Region."

A month and a half ago, in the martial arts arena of the Eastern Holy City, Murong Yue challenged Zhang Ruochen but was defeated and captured. It was Bu Qianfan who stepped in and rescued Murong Yue from Zhang Ruochen.

He had great respect for Zhang Ruochen, so he had a conversation with him. It was during that conversation that he learned the name Yi Qianlong from Zhang Ruochen.

"You say you're Yi Qianlong? You seem more like a black market spy than a sneaky fellow." Bu Qianfan sneered, drawing his sword. Zhang Ruochen had said that Yi Qianlong's strength was unfathomable, and even he himself wouldn't be confident of victory in a fight against someone of the same realm. To verify the authenticity of this Taoist priest, a fight would be the answer.
