"I’ve already roughly assessed Chu Feng’s strength, my lord. Although he possesses many techniques and has a Small Extermination Immortal Sword Formation, his ability is at most equivalent to a Second Tribulation Supreme Sword God. To ensure absolute success, I’m bringing four Second Tribulation Supreme Sword Gods along with the God General Feidian, which should be more than enough!"

Kun Heavenly Master said confidently.

Even for a colossus like the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom, a Second Tribulation Supreme Sword God is not just anyone, but a First-class Divine General.

One alone is enough to guard a region, enough to hold up a battlefield.

Kun Heavenly Master brought along four First-class Divine Generals, in addition to a Second Grade Divine General, believing that was more than sufficient to kill a Two-star Sword God.

No matter how devilish Chu Feng is, he has no chance of surviving.

"I shall await good news from the Heavenly Master here!" Panlong Heavenly Emperor had full confidence in Kun Heavenly Master.

...

In Ancestral Demon City, Chu Feng won with surprise tactics, reaping rich rewards.

This battle also spread his fame throughout the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country and the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom. Everyone knew the Ten Thousand Sword Sect had produced a remarkable and formidable figure.

With a single move, he directly seized a battlefield.

The Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country had been at war with the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom and the Xuanwu Heavenly Kingdom for years, but none had ever displayed such means and courage.

Chu Feng again received generous rewards from the Vermilion Bird Emperor.

Fifty thousand spirit stones boosted his wealth immensely.

The thousand kilograms of Jade Liquid he received also brought great joy.

That was indeed a treasure.

His Nine Yang Sword Veins had always been tempered with Sword Essence over the years but had reached their peak. It was difficult to make further progress.

The sword meridians are the foundation of a sword cultivator, fundamentally important.

Chu Feng’s sword meridians had once been taken away, and although he retrieved them later, it left some flaws.

It’s like a porcelain bowl that has been shattered; even if glued back together, the crack remains.

Between Chu Feng’s Nine Yang Sword Veins and his body, a similar ’crack’ existed.

The thousand kilograms of Jade Liquid presented Chu Feng with a valuable opportunity.

Inside the secret chamber stood a small cauldron, about the size of a household water bucket.

It was filled with milky white liquid, resembling milk.

A faint spiritual energy emanated from the white liquid, gathering above the Jade Liquid without dispersing, adding a touch of mystery.

It only filled half of the small cauldron.

Because the Jade Liquid was extremely heavy, even more so than stone, a thousand kilograms sounded like a lot but was in fact not much.

Chu Feng calmed his mind and sat before the small cauldron.

He formed a seal with his hands and drew the Jade Liquid from the cauldron.

Immediately a stream of Jade Liquid shot out, enveloping Chu Feng’s body.

At this moment, his upper body was bare, revealing his robust muscles. If any girl were to see, she would surely blush and have her heart race.

"Reveal the Nine Veins!"

Chu Feng shouted deeply, and nine red lights lit up within him.

They slithered like snakes through his body, distributed in nine different positions.

"Refine for me!"

The Jade Liquid he drew out split into several streams, simultaneously pouring over the nine sword meridians.

Sizzle sizzle!

It was like cold water poured over hot iron bars. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Ah..." Chu Feng couldn’t help but let out a painful scream. Although tempering sword meridians with Jade Liquid has great benefits, the process is extremely painful.

As the Jade Liquid continued to pour and temper, Chu Feng’s sword meridians began to undergo significant changes.

The sword vein walls emitted a metallic luster, becoming more compact and solid, and they thickened considerably. Their surface even had a faint glow, resembling a layer of jade.

This would reduce the loss of Sword Essence passing through the sword meridians.

The speed would be faster.

...

Half a month’s time slipped by in the blink of an eye.

With the aid of a thousand kilograms of Jade Liquid, Chu Feng finally completed the tempering of his sword meridians. The ’crack’ between them and his body was greatly repaired.

As long as he wasn’t severely injured, there shouldn’t be any more hidden dangers.

At least it wouldn’t hinder Chu Feng from reaching the Supreme Sword God Realm.

Now, with an ample supply of spirit stones and his ability to refine high-quality elixirs to assist cultivation, he could quickly improve his cultivation realm.

Chu Feng spared no effort, seizing the time, going full throttle to strive for a higher cultivation realm.

The two beauties, Han Xiaoying and Han Shuang, also benefitted from accompanying Chu Feng.

Elixirs and spirit stones were almost entirely supplied.

Both women were highly talented and equally diligent, making astonishing progress in their cultivation.

Time passed swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, another two years had gone by.

After taking the Ancestral Demon City, Chu Feng did not recklessly advance for further achievements, nor did he lead his troops in a rush attack on the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom’s Imperial City as Kun Heavenly Master anticipated.

Instead, he settled down, remaining in Ancestral Demon City, fully committed to cultivation.

This thwarted Panlong Heavenly Emperor and Kun Heavenly Master’s plans to ambush Chu Feng.

...

At the Heavenly God Mountain Battlefield, inside Panlong Heavenly Emperor’s palace.

Panlong Heavenly Emperor gathered all the high-ranking generals and strategists together.

"Kun Heavenly Master, that Chu Feng has been holed up in Ancestral Demon City, not making any moves. What should we do about this?"

"As long as he remains, I cannot be at ease, as Emperor."

For the past two years, Panlong Heavenly Emperor had eagerly anticipated Kun Heavenly Master eliminating Chu Feng.

Unfortunately, Chu Feng’s inactivity rendered Kun Heavenly Master’s ambush and schemes ineffective.

"Your Majesty, if you are anxious, I have a plan that might work." Kun Heavenly Master gently stroked his long beard as wisdom flickered in his eyes.

"Oh, do tell!"

If it were another strategist, Panlong Heavenly Emperor would have raised his sword long ago.

Watching Chu Feng, his arch-nemesis, grow stronger day by day, how could Panlong Heavenly Emperor not be anxious?

Kun Heavenly Master remained calm and slowly said, "There is a strategy in the art of war known as ’Surround Wei to Rescue Zhao.’ We can use it in reverse by deploying a strong force to the Heavenly God Mountain Battlefield, defeating the Vermilion Bird Emperor and his army. At that point, Chu Feng would likely be unable to stay still."

"He would have only two choices: either lead troops to the Heavenly God Mountain Battlefield as reinforcements or advance towards the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom’s Imperial City."

Countless people meticulously study military books.

Generals, marshals, and strategists in the court—all read military books.

But those who can flexibly apply the cases in military books are few.

Those who can use them to a transcendent level are exceedingly rare.

Kun Heavenly Master earned the trust of Panlong Heavenly Emperor and holds a prestigious position in court not by empty words.

"This plan is excellent! Immediately redeploy fifty thousand troops from each of the other two battlefields. I want to turn that Vermilion Bird Emperor brat into mincemeat," Panlong Heavenly Emperor adopted Kun Heavenly Master’s plan on the spot.

"Remember, troop deployment must be swift and secret, or if the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country side becomes aware, it will be tough for us to win."
