"Reward: Qi Refining Level 20!"

Li Ming stared at the dragon-patterned wooden plaque. It used to be very stingy, always rewarding him with only 10 levels. This time, however, it was so generous, rewarding him with 20 levels.

This was beyond his expectations.

The reward for Qi Refining level should be related to time. Since Qin Shi Huang stayed for two days, the reward for Qi Refining level was doubled.

Soon, Li Ming felt a significant change in the spiritual energy within his body. He had now reached the 1020th level of Qi Refining, and the spiritual energy emanating from his body had long since transformed into chaotic mist.

When he moves, he exudes an ethereal aura, shrouded in mist, as if he has transformed into chaos, resembling a deity.

Observing the changes around himself, Li Ming felt it was too outrageous. When would this incomplete "Qi Refining Manual" ever end?

While I was deep in thought, another line of text appeared on the dragon-patterned wooden plaque.

"Reward: The Heavenly Record Book 'Dragon Armor Divine Chapter'"

"It's actually the 'Dragon Armor Divine Chapter'."

Li Ming was shocked.

He had studied the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic and had seen terms such as "Dragon Armor Divine Chapter".

Legend has it that during the Battle of Zhuolu, the Yellow Emperor was trapped under Mount Tai. The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady presented him with an exquisite jade box. Upon opening it, the Yellow Emperor discovered a book of celestial script called "Dragon Armor Divine Chapter".

Based on the information above, the Yellow Emperor created the compass chariot and successfully escaped the predicament.

He then ordered Feng Hou to study the "Dragon Armor Divine Chapter," which was so complex and all-encompassing that even Feng Hou could only understand a small portion of it.

It encompasses the Three Palaces and Five Meanings, military strategy, the method of solitary emptiness, the treasure box, the strategy of Yin and Yang, Qimen Dunjia, the art of Liuren step fighting, the mechanism of Yin talisman, the text of the five talismans and five victories of Lingbao, as well as military talisman seals and swords.

Therefore, it is known as the source of all arts.

Li Ming never dreamed he would be rewarded with such a precious treasure.

It should be understood that later geniuses, such as Huang Shi Laoren, Fan Li, Jiang Ziya, Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen, Zhang Liang, and so on, only mastered a small part of it.

By controlling only a small part, they have gained control over the overall situation of the world and stirred up the winds and clouds.

Now, he has the complete version in his hands.

If this news were to be released, the entire universe would probably go crazy.

He stared blankly at the dragon-patterned wooden plaque in his hand, lost in thought.

As the writing faded, Li Ming found himself holding a beautifully illustrated book with strange celestial script written on it. Even stranger, he could actually understand it.

Soon, countless images of the Dragon Armor Divine Chapter flooded his mind.

The content was all-encompassing, with every type imaginable. I received tens of millions of pieces of information in a short time, and my head felt like it was about to explode. I quickly flew up to the sky above the peach blossom forest and sat cross-legged.

Focus intently on digesting the knowledge points in this book.

Several springs, summers, autumns, and winters have passed by him, but time has left no trace on him.

When he opened his eyes, he found that ten years had passed.

For ten years, he only did one thing: digest the contents of "Dragon Armor Divine Chapter".

Fortunately, it finally finished digesting and descended to the ground of the peach blossom forest.

With a casual movement of his foot, Li Ming caused a change in the peach blossoms in the forest, and slowly a formation centered on him appeared.

He walked within the formation, freely manipulating the Qimen Dunjia compass.

I suddenly remembered an anime I once watched, where one of the main characters mastered the Feng Hou Qi Men technique, freely manipulating the destiny chart with great ease.

With a single step, one can manipulate the horoscope, centering on oneself, and change it at will.

The entire peach blossom forest was changing, but with a wave of his hand, it returned to its original appearance.

Walking back to the pavilion from the peach blossom grove, I was surprised to find that the dog was still lying on the wooden bridge.

It's surprising that it's still alive and well after ten years of neglect.

There's definitely something wrong with this dog.

Coincidentally, he learned the divination techniques "Taiyi" and "Liuren" from the Dragon Armor Divine Chapter. The former is about mountains and rivers, geography, and divine calculation methods, while the latter is about observing the Big Dipper and the transformation of stars.

The divination began, and after a moment, a picture appeared before my eyes.

A black, horned spirit beast came into view.

"Huh?"

Li Ming looked at the black dog lying there, moving slightly as it slept. If you removed the spirit beast horns from the picture, it would look exactly like the black dog.

Did black dogs used to have horns?

Li Ming refocused his gaze on the image obtained from the divination.

The black dog and a group of spirit beasts headed towards a mountain range, which was surrounded by thirty-six majestic divine mountains. The ground was covered with white bones, and dark abysses stretched across it.

The sound of chains echoed from the abyss, and crystal coffins could be vaguely seen on the cliff face.

They bypassed the abyss and continued on their journey, eventually arriving at the central region surrounded by thirty-six sacred mountains. There was a mountain there, but it was very strange.

The mountain shimmered with a golden luster.

Before the black dog and the many spirit beasts even began to climb the mountain, countless strange phenomena appeared on the golden mountain: a sea of ​​blood surging, white bones lying everywhere, and blood-red hands popping out from the crystal coffins on the cliffs.

Heaven and earth were torn apart.

A huge bird, darkening the sky, swooped down.

Then the screen went black, and the result of Li Ming's divination was shattered.

Li Ming took two steps back, dumbfounded.

The black dog lying on the ground also woke up, glanced at Li Ming indifferently, and continued to snore.

What has this dog been through?

Li Ming stared at the black dog. The scene he had just witnessed showed that the black dog had horns and could talk, clearly indicating that it had developed intelligence. But now it was no different from a dog that had lost its mind.

What did the black dog and the many spirit beasts go through?

What are they going to do on that mountain?

Li Ming was completely baffled.

This dog must have suffered extremely serious injuries; it's definitely here to heal.

Li Ming pondered for a moment and said, "What kind of place is this? It's surrounded by thirty-six divine mountains. What are they protecting, or is there some earth-shattering treasure inside?"

"We have to take a look."

Without hesitation, Li Ming returned to the pavilion and took out the Boundless Bowl.

The bowl has four bars of electricity, allowing you to watch whatever you want.

The scene I had just witnessed flashed through my mind.

Soon, the Boundless Bowl reflected the area that the black dog and many spirit beasts had visited, surrounded by thirty-six great mountains. Through the Boundless Bowl, it could be determined that this area was in the Eastern Continent of Zuzhou.

Upon closer inspection, a white stone came into view.

There are four characters written on it.

"The forbidden area of ​​the sacred mountain".

Upon seeing those four words, Li Ming was completely stunned: "This dog is playing really big, daring to trespass into forbidden territory. What kind of treasure is inside?"

Adjusting the angle of the Wuliang Bowl and continuing to observe, we discovered two old men sitting cross-legged outside the forbidden area, with two characters written on their robes.

"Xiandu".

"Who is this person from?"

Li Ming had been observing Zuzhou Dongsheng for some time and had never seen any organization or force with the words "Xiandu" in its name. However, Zuzhou Dongsheng had a hundred powerful nations.

Perhaps he had overlooked it, after all, he had always only looked at Wu Xiao of the Wu Dynasty.

Just as he was observing carefully, an old man suddenly looked up, opened his eyes, and said, "Don't you feel like someone is spying on us from the shadows?"

"I noticed that a long time ago."

Another old man slowly opened his eyes, looked up, and met Li Ming's gaze.

"Stop hiding, I've already spotted you."
