"Ah, I’ve benefited greatly from the writings left by the seniors."
Su Changkong nodded. The primary reason his Turtle-breath Function had undergone a metamorphosis, advancing further, was indeed the acquisition of the Book of Miraculous Arrays given by Hua Shan, combined with the Great Array laid down across the Ancient Holy Country by the Nine Great Ancient Sages.
By integrating all these into the core of his Mysterious Tortoise Golden Core, combined with Su Changkong’s terrifying talents and potential, he was able to make a breakthrough in a short amount of time.
"How have things been recently?"
Su Changkong inquired about the latest developments from Hua Shan.
Hua Shan’s expression was grave, "It’s been quiet lately, the occurrences of Demon Monsters in the Ancient Holy Country have decreased, but you must have felt it too... This world has become chaotic in a short time, with constant disasters, surely caused by those Demon Monsters stealing the power of the Heavenly Dao. Based on our last experience, they might arrive in no more than three years!"
Su Changkong shivered inwardly.
Among the Ancient Saints, there were those who had joined the Demon Monster Clan, giving them the Refining Sky Array, which allowed the Demon Monster Clan to extract fragments of the Heavenly Dao.
Originally, the Nine Great Ancient Sages had an edge over the host of Heavenly Demons because they had integrated and refined fragments of the Heavenly Dao, but now this advantage seemed to have vanished, with most of the Heavenly Demons likely succeeding in refining the Heavenly Dao fragments!
"Holy Emperor Jiang has already prepared for the battle and has notified all the Ancient Sects and Ancient Clans. This time, it is essential to combine the power of the entire Ancient Holy Country to survive this crisis,"
said Hua Shan.
Su Changkong nodded slightly; indeed, regardless of past grievances among the various Ancient Sects and Clans across different regions and domains, they now all had to set aside their differences and unite. Only then might they survive this great turmoil.
The Ancient Holy Country was also monitoring the movements of the Demon Monsters, ready to assemble at any sign of trouble. What they needed to do now was wait, and this waiting wouldn’t be long.
Su Changkong was becoming familiar with his power, awaiting the arrival of the Demon Monsters.
"If only... I had enough time, I could have had even greater breakthroughs, unfortunately..."
Every day, Su Changkong practiced his punches and sword moves, occasionally having revelations that led to further advancements; his potential was extremely high.
Su Changkong believed that with enough time, he could grow to the limits of this world and even become the strongest that ever was!
But unfortunately, time was running out, as Su Changkong watched the torrential rain outside Red Medicine Valley turn into a flood.
A year had passed since Su Changkong’s Turtle Breath Technique’s breakthrough, and disasters were rampant throughout the year, especially in recent days with the rain pouring non-stop for seven days and nights, as if wanting to flood the earth.
Su Changkong understood that the time for a full-scale attack by the Demon Monster Clan was near—there was no time left for slow cultivation!
"Changkong, we just received a message from Holy Emperor Jiang, we need to gather on the Holy Emperor’s Heaven Boat."
At this moment, Hua Shan found Su Changkong and informed him of something.
"It seems... they are coming!"
Su Changkong shivered inwardly, understanding that the Demon Monster Clan was about to strike, and this battle concerned the survival of the entire Ancient Holy Country and the human race; a defeat would mean complete annihilation!
Su Changkong made brief preparations and then began to wait.
Not long, over the sky of Red Medicine Valley, a huge crack tore open, and through the crack, the silhouette of a heavenly ship appeared—it was the Holy Emperor’s Heaven Boat!
The Holy Emperor’s Heaven Boat was a Divine Artifact inherited by the Jiang Family from the First Saint, and it was connected to the foundation of the Ancient Holy Country. Within the territory of the Ancient Holy Country, it could traverse the void and reach anywhere in no time!
Su Changkong and Hua Shan flew towards the Holy Emperor’s Heaven Boat.
Upon landing on the deck of the Holy Emperor’s Heaven Boat, Su Changkong saw that it was already filled with no less than a hundred people.
Among these hundred, there were familiar faces, including Holy Emperor Jiang, Jiang Shoudao, and the rest who all had profound and powerful presences!
"Are these Great Divine Power Martial Saints? It seems the top powerhouses of the Ancient Holy Country have already gathered on this Holy Emperor’s Heaven Boat."
Su Changkong looked around and thought to himself, recognizing that each of these individuals stood at the pinnacle of the Ancient Holy Country as Great Divine Power Martial Saints.
These Great Divine Power Martial Saints, mostly born from Ancient Sects and Clans left by the Nine Great Ancient Sages, totaled about a hundred across the Ancient Holy Country’s Nineteen Domains. Now, ninety percent of them were gathered here.
"Medicine Saint Senior."
Many greeted Hua Shan.
"Old Pharmacist, is this the Su Changkong you mentioned? Truly extraordinary, I can’t even fully discern his aura!"

At this moment, someone approached, a man standing nine feet tall, with thick beards and muscular arms through his thin robe, unintentionally displaying an imposing aura that made people’s hearts pound uncontrollably.
Even the Great Divine Power Martial Saints felt a precarious trepidation in his presence.
Su Changkong could guess the man’s identity.
Hua Shan, with a smiling face, said, "Changkong, this is Zhan Wushuang, he awakened his true spirit before I did."
"The Fighting Saint Zhan Wushuang from the Nine Great Ancient Sages, his strength ranks within the top three among them, undefeated!"
The information about the man immediately surfaced in Su Changkong’s mind.
Among the Nine Great Ancient Sages, the Fighting Saint on this Heavenly God Ship should be Zhan Wushuang, one of the reincarnated Ancient Saints.
"Nice to meet you, Senior Fighting Saint," Su Changkong nodded and greeted him.
Besides Zhan Wushuang, three others caught Su Changkong’s attention.
