Gusan City was an extremely western place under the jurisdiction of the Xu Lin Sacred Emperor. He had arranged for this place to be Lan Feng's resting place only because he was in the west under his and the Xinghe Saint Emperor's jurisdiction.

Maybe someone wanted to ask, why not arrange for Lan Feng to stay near the city of Xuanyuan Saint Emperor? Wasn't the Xuanyuan Saint Emperor safer to Lan Feng than the siblings?

It was a pity that the Xuanyuan Saint Emperor's territory and the Xu Lin Sacred Emperor did not live side by side.

Lan Feng flew on the imperial sword for more than two months, and along the way, he did not encounter any accidents. It was clear that Xu Lin's Sacred Emperor's move was effective. His aura had changed, his appearance had changed, and even the flying swords he used had changed. How could those spies notice the whereabouts of a 'stranger'?

Gusan City, who had long received Lan Feng's message, had just arrived at the city gates when he sent an unremarkable soldier to assist him. Then, he entered the palace in a very secretive manner.

The Holy King Quanwu had never seen Lan Feng before, but he had killed the son of the Saint Elder of Hong Yu. To be able to make Xu Lin, the Holy Emperor, take on such a great risk to protect him, his status was definitely something that a small Saint Ruler would not be able to offend.

The order that the Sacred Emperor of Xu Lin gave was that the Holy King Quanwu would be in charge of managing the affairs of the Gusan City as usual. However, everything would be done according to Lan Feng's instructions, he would do everything in his power to assist him.

Oh, no, no, no!

In the future, the name Lan Feng would no longer be available. But it didn't make sense for a grown man to change his name. Fortunately, with two lifetimes of being a human, he had another name — — Qing Hua. He was going to hold the position of vice general in Gusan City. This was on the surface, but even the Holy King Quanwu had to listen to his orders secretly.

After all, Jin Yu's identity and identity were different. It was not strange for him to suddenly have so many sacred crystal, but the Gusan City was different.

Holy King Quanwu was only one of the more than a hundred Saint Rulers under Xu Lin's command. If he were to recruit people and expand his influence, it would definitely attract the attention of others. Hence, the method he used was much more secretive.

According to Lan Feng's orders, first of all the soldiers in the army who had enough loyalty and good aptitude, be transferred. Then, they would act in secret and search for people with good aptitude outside the city, making them pledge their allegiance to Lan Feng.

This was also the privilege Xu Lin received from the Sacred Emperor. In the past, there had never been a city lord who dared to have his subordinates serve him. In this way, the people that Lan Feng had recruited would truly become his private army, becoming his future ally. Amongst all the Holy Kings, only Jin Yu, the grandson of the Xu Lin Sacred Emperor would have the authority to do so.

Since it was a covert operation, the speed was naturally extremely slow. After a whole year, a team of twenty thousand people was formed.

Originally, with the sacred crystal in Lan Feng's hands, he could have increased the number of sacred crystal by ten times, but he requested for them to be elite, so he could use the sacred crystal to smash out an army of experts. Therefore, they could not have too many of them, because with this method, the consumption of sacred crystal would be extremely huge.

After assigning a hundred million sacred crystal to Holy King Quanwu and his group of experts, these twenty thousand people, along with Lan Feng, all entered the secret room on the ground of the Duke Palace and began to undergo an all-rounded closed-door cultivation.

The strongest among these twenty thousand troops was only at the Overlord level, they were the lowest level of the Holy Realm, especially those that were found outside the city. Outside the city, one could face the danger of death at any time. To be loyal to a certain person was a very normal thing in the Holy Realm. The key was that the majority of the people did not even have the right to be loyal to a certain person. Now that they had this chance, a safe environment, and plenty of sacred crystal s, there was simply a difference between heaven and hell. How could they not wholeheartedly train?

The jade scroll that Xu Lin passed on to him contained many sword manuals, techniques, formations and some unorthodox techniques, but it did not contain any cultivation techniques. However, Lan Feng did not need a cultivation technique to begin with, his Star Flying Art had long formed a system, and from its initial state to its current perfect universe system, what he lacked was a set of powerful sword technique that was suitable for sword cultivation.

As for those manuals and formations, he was not interested in them at all. True swordsmen were extremely stubborn, and in their hearts, there was only the sword.

He also knew that these arts were powerful techniques and that Xu Lin, the Sacred Emperor, had also deliberately calculated which ones were not to be taught to others. Thus, he picked out a few common sword techniques and passed them down to his subordinates. He started to delve into a set of sword technique called < The Great Void Sword Inquisition >. This was also the strongest sword technique that belonged to Xu Lin.

In fact, the reason the Xu Lin Sacred Emperor did not give Lan Feng a cultivation technique was also because he was worried.

A cultivator's most fundamental ability was his cultivation technique, which was the source of everything. If he were to pass this technique to Lan Feng and impart to him the strongest sword art, it would be equivalent to giving him everything he had. There was no doubt that Lan Feng did not have the qualifications, at least for now.

The sword art was different. This was only a method to utilize Saint Force. Although it could not be taught to outsiders, it was far less important than a cultivation technique.

Lan Feng had already become his future assistant in his heart and was a person that he wanted to nurture with all his strength. If he was not even given the slightest bit of benefits, how could he feel any sincerity? Because, no matter if it was the strongest < The Great Void Sword Scripture >, or allowing him to own private troops, as well as the Silicone Essence Gold and the Purple Infinity Jade Tide Stone, they were all meant to show that he valued Lan Feng highly, making him feel grateful towards himself from the bottom of his heart.

After using an entire day to read the《 Great Void Sword Scripture》 carefully, Lan Feng could not help but admire the ingenuity of this sword art. The Azulet Sword Law that he had created back then could be said to be exquisite beyond compare, and had even created a few later sword moves. However, compared to this Great Void Sword Technique, the difference between the two couldn't be calculated.

"Boss, did you forget about giving that thing to me?"

The anxious voice travelled into his soul, it was the sword spirit of the Violet Sky Slaying Immortal Sword that he had not contacted for an unknown period of time.

Lan Feng was stunned, then asked: "What are you talking about?"

"It's the two ores that the old man gave you. Do you have them to eat?" The sword spirit seemed to be in a hurry as it urged, "Hurry up and give it to me. I can fuse with it myself. When that happens, my power will increase by more than ten times!"

With a wave of his right hand, the Silicone Essence Gold and the Purple Comet Golden Stone floated in front of him. Without even summoning, the Violet Sky Slaying Immortal Sword sprayed out from the dantian's primordial spirit by itself.

Suddenly, two streams of two-colored Sword Qi sprayed out from the ore. The ore melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into two blobs of liquid within the span of a few breaths.

The ball of liquid cheered as it pounced towards the flying sword. The two naturally fused into one, and a layer of slowly squirming liquid appeared on the sword's body. The cracking sounds could be heard incessantly. From time to time, a few sparks would jump out. These were the impurities within the ore. Purple and gold rays of light replaced the original green and red colors. The sword body slowly rotated, occasionally emitting a clear cry, like the sounds of joy.

Lan Feng was too lazy to bother with him anymore. After his experience last time, he had roughly guessed that Violet Sky Slaying Immortal Sword with sword spirits no longer needed to be artificially forged. As long as there was the appropriate material, it could improve its own quality. This was also a special ability that only Spirit Equipment above Hongmeng Soul Treasure possessed.

After spending a full ten years, he had completely mastered the Great Void Sword Technique. Even with his current strength, he could only perform Holy Lord level sword moves.

However, the strongest sword art of the Sacred Emperor was no joke. Just this sword art alone had at least one additional level compared to the ordinary art. He believed that even without Lan Hua's help, his battle prowess would be no less than that of a mid-stage Saint Ruler!

The twenty-thousand-man underground chamber was a hundred kilometers long and wide. It was completely sealed off with formations, so not a single ripple of energy would be emitted. If not for the Saint King's thorough investigation, the presence of the people inside would not have been discovered.

The walls, floor, and ceiling were all inlaid with sacred crystal s, and through a few small methods, he released the Holy Spirit Qi from within. The density of the Holy Spirit Qi in this underground palace's secret room had reached an unbelievable level. The air was no longer transparent, but instead had a pale gold color unique to the Holy Spirit Qi. The visibility was extremely low, as though it was a fog.

With the help of the magic, the Holy Spirit Qi would always be at this concentration, unless all the sacred crystal were drained of energy. Once someone absorbed it, the crystal would immediately replenish itself and remain in a constant state.

Ten years later, Lan Feng swallowed a few Hidden Qi Breathing Pills, which could sustain him for around a million years, and began to cultivate.

Days passed, the pure Holy Spirit Qi kept washing over her body, her meridians became stronger and stronger, her sea of consciousness expanded at a visible rate, her Aurous Core became more and more refined, and her holy energy became more and more pure.

Through his inner vision, Lan Feng discovered that the muscles of his body were gold, emitting a metallic glow, and his meridians were profound gold. The most outrageous thing was that the bones had turned black. However, within the black bones, there were specks of golden light that formed small talismans. These talismans could be seen faintly on the bones, making them look extremely strange.

The coverage of the Immortal Awareness had already expanded to a radius of more than ten thousand kilometers. Although the newly cultivated Immortal Soul could not compare to the Lan Hua who had just transferred to the Immortal Soul stage, he still had the strength of the Late Stage of Saint Lord and it was still increasing.

In the end, how much time had passed, Lan Feng did not know. He only knew that under the effects of the cold phlegm root, adding the dense and pure Holy Spirit Qi, it would be easy for him to break through to the Saint realm.
