Originally, with the strength of Chu Feng’s physical body, a half-foot-long wound would heal in no more than two to three days.

Strangely, the wound on his back, after being cursed and subjected to all kinds of bizarre methods by the Beixie National Master, didn’t show any signs of healing. After three days, the wound seemed to have solidified.

It remained the same as when it was first cut open.

Only the bleeding had stopped.

You could still faintly see the bloody, tender flesh inside the wound.

"Emperor, the wound has become a living wound. If it is not treated with my secret technique, it will remain like this for life. Now, the Azure Dragon Pearl can be implanted."

After inspecting the wound, the Beixie National Master said to Chu Feng.

Planting the Azure Dragon Pearl involves deep intricacies. If such a living wound were not created to implant it, only two outcomes are possible.

Either it would be expelled and squeezed out of the skin.

Or it would directly grow into the flesh, slowly covered by new skin.

Neither of these results achieve the desired effect.

Hence, it must be implanted into the living wound using a method similar to ancient witchcraft, ensuring it remains like a human eyeball. It wouldn’t fall out and can integrate with Chu Feng’s body, constantly absorbing nutrients and being nourished by the essence blood.

"Thank you for your hard work! Let’s begin!" Chu Feng was extremely concerned about the situation outside.

If not for his absolute trust in the Beixie National Master, he wouldn’t agree to hide in the secret chamber to implant the Azure Dragon Pearl at this time.

"The implantation process will be excruciatingly painful, so I ask the Emperor to endure!"

With these words, the Beixie National Master fished out the Azure Dragon Pearl soaking in medicinal liquid, and then used a flat bamboo clip to pry open Chu Feng’s wound on both sides.

"Hiss..." Chu Feng gasped in pain.

The pain was truly overwhelming.

"Be careful!"

The Beixie National Master shouted lowly and inserted the Azure Dragon Pearl into the wound on Chu Feng’s back.

"Ah..." Chu Feng could not stay silent this time, letting out a heartrending scream on the spot. The implantation process of the Azure Dragon Pearl was indeed excessively painful.

Imagine, cutting open a wound was already painful enough.

Forcing the wound open, and then stuffing a large foreign object into the wound.

That alone would be enough to make a person faint from the pain.

It was only because Chu Feng had a willpower far above the common man that he could barely hold on without collapsing.

"Emperor, I will start chanting the growth incantation now and will constantly cleanse the wound and the Azure Dragon Pearl with the Fountain of Life to integrate it with your body as quickly as possible," the Beixie National Master reminded him and then picked up a bottle of Fountain of Life ready on the table.

The other hand held two fresh willow branches.

He mumbled words, began chanting the growth incantation, and every so often, used the willow branches to sprinkle some Fountain of Life on Chu Feng’s wound.

The Fountain of Life was extremely precious, and one wonders where the Beixie National Master acquired it?

Each time the Beixie National Master waved the willow branches to sprinkle Fountain of Life onto Chu Feng’s wound, Chu Feng would grimace in pain, clenching his teeth.

As time slowly passed, his wound had long since become acutely numb from the pain.

After what seemed like forever, he gradually began to feel an itch inside the wound.

As if countless ants were crawling inside.

Based on experience, this was a unique symptom of the wound healing. Chu Feng secretly guessed that the Azure Dragon Pearl might be merging with his body.

"Ah... so uncomfortable!"

Unable to resist, Chu Feng once again let out a roar, both itchy and painful, a truly exasperating sensation.

"Emperor, just endure for a little longer!" the Beixie National Master comforted him from the side.

...

As time slowly withered away, the Azure Dragon Pearl on Chu Feng’s back began to light up like a lamp. The azure radiance blossomed.

In the end, the entire secret chamber was brightly illuminated, shrouded in an exotic azure hue.

"Done! The great work is completed!" the Beixie National Master said excitedly, with a trace of exhaustion in his voice.

Chu Feng himself also felt the sensation because that Azure Dragon Pearl had already fused with his body, inseparably connected like his own limb. The feeling was truly marvelous.

All the itchiness and pain had already disappeared without a trace.

"The Emperor may now close your eyes and feel your Emperor Star; you will undoubtedly make new discoveries," the Beixie Emperor said with a smile.

Accordingly, Chu Feng closed his eyes and communicated with his Emperor Star.

Sure enough, in the firmament above, he discovered that his Emperor Star’s fortune was more prosperous, its momentum stronger.

Like a thriving tree, branching and flourishing, even grander than before.

To provide a more vivid analogy, Chu Feng’s Emperor Star was previously like a half-person-tall sapling. But now, it had already grown to the thickness of a wrist. Although it was still not a towering tree, it already possessed the potential.

Within it, was a wisp of energy drawing something?

Tracing the energy, Chu Feng quickly discovered that wisp of energy was drawing a vast ocean.

"Did the Emperor feel it? That vast ocean is the fortune of the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom. You only need to manipulate your Emperor Star to devour them, and the fortune of the Great Chu Empire will flourish exponentially," the Beixie National Master’s voice rang in Chu Feng’s ear.

"Good!"

"Annihilating the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom is my great aspiration. Today, let us first thoroughly seize the fortune of the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom!" Chu Feng immediately manipulated his Emperor Star to frantically devour the fortune of the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom.

Originally, how could the fortune of a country be easily seized?

Take Chu Feng’s previous experience for instance, even with the Beixie National Master utilizing a secret technique, taking advantage of the founding period of the Great Chu Empire to rob the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom’s fortune, a great deal of effort is required to seize some.

This was still due to being in the advantageous position of the Imperial City of the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom.

Otherwise, it would be unattainable.

...

In Baijun City, two hundred li away from Azure Dragon City, the temporary palace built by the Azure Dragon Heavenly Emperor was hastily constructed such that even some minor details were unfinished.

The royal palace is extremely particular.

Even if it’s only a temporary palace, it cannot be completed in just two or three days.

Despite its rough construction, the Panlong Heavenly Emperor could not care less and moved in eagerly.

"Worthless, a bunch of worthless!"

The Panlong Heavenly Emperor fumed with rage, with priests and star officers kneeling below him.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Currently, the most important task is to preserve the fortune of the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom. The Azure Dragon Pearl has fallen into Chu Feng’s hands. Our only recourse is to establish a new imperial capital and abolish Azure Dragon City’s status as the capital. If delayed, the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom’s fortune accumulated over a million years will be completely lost... the consequences are severe!"

The leading priest was loyal to the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom; despite his fear, he boldly spoke what needed to be said.

Currently, only one imperial city in the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom remains unconquered and surely cannot be preserved.

Breaking the wrist, establishing a new imperial capital, is an urgent matter.

"Must we just watch as Chu Feng seizes the fortune of the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom without any recourse? Establishing a new capital has profound ramifications and is extremely disadvantageous to our Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom."

The Panlong Heavenly Emperor could feel the fortune of the Azure Dragon Qing Country rapidly dissipating.
