"We obey your orders!"
"Long live our emperor!"
Seeing that the ministers had left, Zhou Yi looked at Shangguan Wan 'er, who was standing by the side.
"Tell me, what do you have to report?"
As the commander of the imperial guards, Shangguan Wan 'er's martial cultivation had reached the peak of the Supreme Realm and was only one step away from the Martial Saint Realm.
Her eyes were big and her eyebrows were light. She had a small mouth and a sharp nose. She was beautiful and elegant.
It was like a water lotus flower, delicate and beautiful.
However, there was an untamed look in his eyes.
Even when facing the empress, this arrogance would not disappear.
She cupped her hands and said," Your Majesty, according to the scouts, the army of the Ba Shu Dynasty has set off. They will attack Tianyuan City in a few days."”
Tianyuan City was a border city in the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Since ancient times, it had been a battleground for military strategists.
If the Ba Shu Dynasty took it, they would reach the Azure Dragon City where the imperial palace was located in less than half a month.
Zhou Yi said lightly," As expected. Since they're here, they won't be able to return."”
Shangguan Wan 'er's face lit up when she heard this.
"Your Majesty, have you recovered your strength?"
" Yes," Zhou Yi said." I've comprehended a principle of martial arts, so I recovered."”
"What martial arts theory?" Shangguan Wan 'er asked.”
Zhou Yi's every word was powerful.
"A tall building starts from the ground. The foundation is the most important!”
Shangguan Wan 'er's body trembled.
This sentence seemed simple, but it was actually extremely profound.
She even felt that she seemed to have found a glimmer of hope to break through to the Martial Saint Realm.
Shangguan Wan 'er was overjoyed and bowed.""Your Majesty, I can't repay your kindness.”
The arrogance in her eyes disappeared the moment she lowered her head.
Zhou Yi saw this and was very pleased with himself.
She had ascended the throne for half a year. Not only were there many people in the court who were not convinced of her, but even the commander of the imperial guards did not seem to be able to suppress them.
After this, Shangguan Wan 'er was completely convinced by her.
"This is all thanks to Ji Xiao."
Zhou Yi faintly felt that he was extremely lucky to be able to meet Ji Xiao in the imperial kitchen.
……
Ji Xiao closed the door to the imperial kitchen and sat cross-legged on the ground.
He took out the Vitality Pill from the System's Portable Space and swallowed it.
Boom!
A majestic Yuan Power spread out from within his body.
Following that, a cell in his dantian trembled slightly and actually absorbed all of this enormous Origin Power.
Ji Xiao pressed his tongue against his mouth and looked inside his dantian.
Within the cells, the outline of a divine elephant could be vaguely seen.
This divine elephant was extremely powerful. Its tusks were sharp, and its muscles bulged. It was filled with power.
An ancient aura was emitted.
It was rumored that the Divine Elephant was a divine beast that guarded the Western Hell.
A divine elephant was guarding thousands of evil ghosts in hell. It was invincible.
Ji Xiao took one pill after another, and after finishing a bottle, he had just condensed a divine elephant.
He suddenly threw a punch forward.
Pa!
There was a crisp explosion in the air, and even the windows shook slightly.
Externalizing strength was the mark of a Martial Apprentice.
"I became a Martial Apprentice just by condensing one Divine Elephant?”
Ji Xiao was pleasantly surprised and immediately continued to cultivate.
A day and a night passed quickly.
Ji Xiao opened his eyes and shook his head.
"The amount of elemental energy required to condense a divine elephant is too great.”
Ji Xiao had absorbed the vital qi for a day and a night, but he had not even condensed a hundredth of the outline of the divine elephant.
At this moment, a ray of dawn shone through the window of the imperial kitchen.
Ji Xiao was delighted and quickly stood up.
The next day, they could sign in again.
"Which ingredient should I choose?"
He looked around the kitchen and locked his eyes on a huge green bird egg.
This was the egg of a Green-feathered Bird. It was rich in nutrients, tasted sweet, and did not have a trace of fishy smell. It was also a tribute-grade ingredient.
Ji Xiao touched the smooth shell of the egg.
"Ding! You have touched a bird egg. You have successfully punched in. You have received a bottle of Origin Fluid."
"Origin Fluid? The name sounds good."
He turned around and touched the chicken wings on the chopping board.
"Ding! You have touched a chicken wing. You have successfully punched in. You have obtained the bloodline of the Sky-roaming Kun Peng!”
Boom!
In an instant, many memories of the Sky-roaming Kun Peng appeared in Ji Xiao's mind.
As his blood flowed, it contained traces of green blood.
"The Sky-roaming Kun Peng is a high-level True Spirit. It feeds on a five-clawed Azure Dragon and travels through the nine heavens and ten lands at extreme speed.”
"He also has a great devouring ability that can devour endless origin energy beyond the nine heavens.”
Ji Xiao closed his eyes and felt his soul transform into a giant azure bird, flapping its wings and soaring through the heavens and earth.
With just a flap of his wings, he flew to the nine heavens.
Beyond the nine heavens, it was chaos. Violent vital qi storms could be seen everywhere.
The Roc opened its mouth and sucked in several vital qi storms into its body.
Ji Xiao opened his eyes, surprised and delighted.
The bloodline of the Wandering Kun Peng could actually use the Great Devouring Divine Ability to gather the vital energy of the nine heavens for his cultivation.
The Yuan Qi was endless and extremely pure.
Ji Xiao immediately sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.
With just a slight movement, the second divine elephant was formed.
Then the third, fourth, fifth…
In less than ten minutes, he had already condensed ten divine elephant phantoms.
His gaze moved, and a white streak swept out from his body.
Pa!
The table in the kitchen was smashed into pieces!
"Releasing Stellar Energy is the mark of a Martial Master.”
Ji Xiao's eyes flashed. He had condensed ten Divine Elephants, which corresponded to the first to tenth levels of Martial Apprentice.
After the ten divine elephants were condensed, they immediately advanced to the Martial Master realm without encountering any obstacles.
"If that's the case, would I need 100 Divine Elephants to break through to the Martial King Realm?”
……
Half a month passed in a flash.
During this half a month, Ji Xiao checked in every day and then cultivated in the imperial kitchen.
He realized that cultivation was a very interesting thing.
Looking at the divine elephants in his body condensing one by one, the process was full of a sense of accomplishment.
After fifteen days of non-stop cultivation, coupled with the rewards he received from signing in, Ji Xiao had condensed a total of 98,000 divine elephants!
His cultivation had also reached the ninth level of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm!
He was only a step away from breaking through to the Supreme Realm.
Today, Ji Xiao heard a piece of news.
The army of the Ba Shu Dynasty arrived at Tianyuan City and officially declared war on the Great Zhou Dynasty.
