Dongxiu Hong, trapped and hunted by Viking Khan, reveals his ambition to help Qin Feng reach the Heavenly Monarch realm. In exchange for the secret to this breakthrough, Dongxiu Hong requests Qin Feng kill Viking Khan and keep the secret from Ancient Moon Immortal, whom he views as a competitor.

Dongxiu Hong touched the wound on his lower abdomen and said with a bitter smile, "Too big, too big. I’m no longer a match for Viking Khan.""

"Feng Qin..." Dongxiu Hong raised his head, looked at Qin Feng and said, "There’s a secret in this. None of the Heavenly Monarchs want to tell it, because everyone is a competitor. No one wants others to break through to Heavenly Monarch and become their strong enemies. This is what I’m going to tell you now."

Qin Feng listened carefully. Aside from Tian Jun, Dongxiu Hong was probably the most authoritative. After all, just like Viking Khan before he made his breakthrough, he had charged at Tian Jun countless times. He had known everything for a long time, only later did he get a slight opportunity.

Dongxiu Hong’s eyes grew a bit hazy, and he spoke slowly, "I had already reached the highest level of Sky River First-level several hundred years ago, and I also ran into a bottleneck in cultivation. I thought I was qualified to dash toward Heavenly Monarch, but I failed for hundreds of years before gradually realizing that First-level General under Heavenly Monarch and Heavenly Monarch itself are the same, whether it’s the sprint or the breakthrough."

"What?" Qin Feng’s eyes widened. The same? The disparity in strength was so huge, it was said to be a transformation. How could it be called the same now?

Dongxiu Hong said, "What is First-level Sky River, Second-level Sky River, all of these are detours. The Emperor corrected this detour and walked straight."

Before Qin Feng could speak, Dongxiu Hong said, "After generals perfect their talent to the utmost, they all begin to work hard at understanding talent, then try to enhance the power of talent, because everyone knows that talent is the key factor affecting the strength level of a General. These gifted powers are nothing but a superficial way of looking at the Sky-reaching Path. Do you think your talent power is more related to your ultimate perfection, or more related to your perception of the Sky-reaching Path?"

Qin Feng was at a loss for words. His talent was ’Inch Heaven and Earth’, a form of Five Elements Chaos power. Ji Jia’s ’Space-Time Disk’ was also a strand of power of her Space-Time Dao. Mo Yue and the others were almost the same.

Dongxiu Hong said, "On the other hand, the Heavenly Emperor truly applies the feeling of the Sky-reaching Path to power. Because arrangements—" Dongxiu Hong said: "Countless generals choose to first understand talent, because talent is easier to comprehend and easier to enhance your own strength. When their talent is exerted to the extreme, and their power reaches its limit, they gradually realize there is no such thing as talent at all. This is the method of integrating talent with the Ascension Path and transforming it into power. It’s just that very few people can understand it, very few can truly comprehend it."

"I get it." Qin Feng suddenly saw the light.

The world’s paths, whether great Dao or minor Dao, are different yet the same; the truth is also the same. Just like his Sword Dao: some people cultivate one Sword Dao. When their power reaches a bottleneck, they naturally cultivate a second Sword Dao, which can accelerate the increase of their power, then a third and a fourth. This is the simplest and fastest method to enhance one’s strength. Everyone does it. But gradually, after building more Sword Daos, one comes to understand the principle of Ten Thousand Swords Returning to Heaven, and begins to walk the path of simplification. Not many can comprehend this Sword Dao, and even fewer can truly reach the ultimate limit of Sword Dao.

Cultivation of Sky River and Heavenly Monarch is the same.

Dongxiu Hong said, "If the truth is broken through, it’s very simple. But if we don’t break it, it becomes a huge barrier. Qin Feng, you might not notice that your power has already reached the Peak of the first layer of Sky River, but if no one reminded you, you might remain ignorant of the Heavenly Monarch mystery for hundreds of years."

"Many thanks." Qin Feng said with a smile. Dongxiu Hong had told him without reservation the feelings of these past hundreds of years. No matter what he was willing to do, Qin Feng ought to be grateful.

Dongxiu Hong smiled and said, "What you need to do now is very simple. That is to fuse your talent with your Dao. When you successfully integrate them, you’ll be divine. This step is clear, but whether you can succeed is hard to say. I’ve tried more than a hundred times and failed every time. Viking Khan has tried over a hundred times; in the end, he succeeded.

When he successfully walked that last step and reached the Emperor, it gave me a feeling of total transformation!" Dongxiu Hong’s eyes were full of yearning. "The Heavenly Emperor is one who straightens the detour in accordance with Dao. There is no fundamental difference between the two, yet the change is complete."

"Why?" Qin Feng narrowed his eyes and asked seriously.

Dongxiu Hong shook his head and said, "I don’t know, because I haven’t broken through to Emperor yet. I only know that once you break through to Emperor, you will have no weaknesses. Whether or not you are a cultivator of Space-Time, your speed will be the fastest, you will surpass any day. Whether you walk the path of life and death, your soul will be immensely strong. Chaos Dao and Time Dao are both like this. Of course, there may be differences between different paths. But compared to other realms, it is peerless."

"Huu!..." Qin Feng exhaled for a long time, not feeling weak in the slightest. Power in any direction surpassing other generals by far, this was terrifying.

"Alright, let’s go. There isn’t much time. You can try to charge toward Heavenly Monarch. To be honest, I’m not confident you can succeed in such a short period." But your power is the strongest, especially your strength has risen too quickly. If anyone has the best chance to succeed, that person is you. I have no choice but to stake my bet on you."

"I might not succeed. If I do succeed, I’ll protect you." Qin Feng finished speaking and didn’t stay; he went straight out. Right now he couldn’t wait to give it a try. As Dongxiu Hong had said, the path was very clear. It depended on whether he could succeed in the sprint. At present, his power surpassed what Dongxiu Hong and Viking Khan had before they broke through. His perception of the Sky-reaching Path was no worse. His odds of success were undoubtedly greater.

"Feng Qin..." After leaving the cave, Ji Ziya saw Qin Feng and immediately came up.

"Beauty," Qin Feng saw Ji Jia’s appearance and said with a smile. He went straight to it: "Dongxiu Hong told me the key to charging Heavenly Monarch. He hopes I can break through Heavenly Monarch, kill Viking Khan and save him, but he didn’t want you to know the secret of Heavenly Monarch."

"So that’s it." Ji Ziya pouted in dissatisfaction. "So stingy."

She also knew that on the same street, everyone was a competitor to each other.

Qin Feng smiled and said, "If I can force my way through that gate, at the very least I can kill Viking Khan. Then I’ll kill you as part of those two items, and kill my Creation Spirit Body. This revenge will be perfect."

Ji Ziya said, "Aren’t you leaving now?"

Qin Feng said, "Seven years. These last few years were not bad. If I have the chance to break free of the Emperor’s grasp and take revenge, I’ll definitely go."

Ji Ziya said, "Of course, those are your rights. Naturally you can abandon some of it. But that would waste part of the ten contribution points we worked so hard to accumulate."

Qin Feng laughed and said, "It’s not a waste; we can accumulate them again. This entire Heaven Purgatory world, only those in Holy realm can enter. I came in purely by accident. Next time I want to come in, I probably won’t be able to. Since it’s a major matter, I’ll do enough of it."

"Haha." Ji Ziya laughed, remembering the scene when she and Qin Feng arrived in Purgatory. She had never thought that originally there was no friendship between them. They had lived together in Purgatory for seven years, and died together. In these seven years, they had come to trust each other.

"Alright then," Ji Gong said with a smile, "if I remember correctly, you now have sixteen achievements. You’re not far from twenty, and it’ll be easy to find the rest."

When strength is weak, hunting for a day is extremely difficult. But when the strength is powerful, especially reaching the height of Emperor, hunting becomes too easy. Of course, all of this is premised on Qin Feng being able to break through Heavenly Emperor. If he can’t break through, his life will be threatened by Pirate Khan.

"I’ll go exchange that Divine Artifact back first. Wait for me." Qin Feng said.

"Alright." Ji Ziya nodded.

At this time, Qin Feng began actively gathering ten stars at his brow. After staying in Purgatory for so long, Qin Feng now knew many things.

"Huu!..."
