Jiang Feng sat cross-legged on the mountaintop, his eyes slightly closed, his hands forming complex hand seals, channeling and absorbing the surging power of the Thunder Dragon. At this moment, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "This chaotic energy truly is the formidable nemesis of all things in the world! The energy and power it contains are simply beyond imagination."

After arduous efforts and training, Jiang Feng has now successfully entered the Fusion Stage. Furthermore, his Nine Transformations Golden Body cultivation has achieved a breakthrough, reaching the fourth level—the Three Heads, Six Arms stage. With the added support of the Divine Dragon Power he received from the old dragon, he can easily handle and even defeat even formidable opponents who have reached the late stage of Great Perfection. However, Jiang Feng is well aware that while this Divine Dragon Power is incredibly powerful, it has a time limit and should not be relied upon excessively.

According to reliable intelligence sources, the current Human Emperor has already begun preparations for the arrival of the immortals. It is estimated that within a hundred years, the immortals from the Celestial Realm will descend upon this world. Knowing that the immortals' power is unfathomable and beyond the reach of ordinary humans, Jiang Feng realizes that time is running out. Therefore, he must intensify his training, striving to maximize his strength before the immortals arrive, thus equipping himself to meet the immense challenges that lie ahead.

Time slipped away like this, as Jiang Feng continued his training atop the towering mountain, absorbed in his practice. Day after day, month after month, and before he knew it, a full six months had passed. On this particular day, Jiang Feng, whose eyes had been tightly shut, suddenly opened them and let out a deafening roar. The roar, like thunder, instantly resonated throughout the Qingyun Sect. Several of the sect's top experts were startled by the sudden explosion and rushed to the foot of the mountain to investigate.

Wang Fan, who arrived first, looked at the majestic Jiang Feng on the top of the mountain with a look of astonishment on his face. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my God! This guy is really abnormal! It only took him half a year to achieve another breakthrough. Now he has reached the middle stage of fusion!" When the others heard this, they looked at each other, and they all felt unbelievable about Jiang Feng's amazing cultivation speed.

Jiang Feng strode up to the crowd with his head held high. Although he was currently only at the fusion stage of cultivation, no one present dared to look down on him in the slightest.

Jiang Feng smiled, his eyes gleaming with confidence as he spoke loudly, "Everyone, the Qingyun Dynasty has officially gone to war with the Jiulong Dynasty. Under such circumstances, we naturally cannot stand idly by and do nothing. Think of the Human Emperor, who enjoys the incense and offerings of the common people all day long, thereby gaining the incomparably powerful power of the Human Emperor. However, from now on, I will definitely snatch this Human Emperor's luck from him!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Tianji narrowed his eyes slightly, lost in thought. After a moment, he stroked his beard and said slowly, "Hmm, that's quite true. I once divined a fortune, and if we can make the human race suspicious, and we sincerely seek the welfare of the entire race, then success is not impossible."

Jiang Feng nodded repeatedly in agreement. He turned to look at Xiao Qingfang and Xiao Qingling, and solemnly instructed, "Xiao Qingfang and Xiao Qingling, from today on, you two will shoulder a heavy responsibility. You must quickly spread the news of the Human Emperor's secret collusion with the demons throughout the entire Kyushu Continent. You must make sure everyone knows the truth of this matter and cause a huge uproar."

Jiang Feng then turned his gaze to Great Elder Qiyue and said in a deep voice, "Great Elder Qiyue, please personally take charge of the Qingyun Sect to protect the sect. As for Lu Lingfeng, you will lead Gongsun Haotian, Wang Fan, and Qin Jiu to attack the Batian Sect. The Batian Sect is the closest to us, and they dared to openly join the Dynasty. They must pay the price for this. However, there is one thing you must always keep in mind - do not wantonly kill innocent people. Just wipe out their sect. Senior Brother, Wang Taiyi, Wang Qingshan, the three of you take some disciples and persuade all the surrounding forces, big and small, to surrender!"

Jiang Feng continued, "Send out disciples to protect all the surrounding villages and tell them that a new Human Emperor has been born. Their lives will get better in the future. In short, what we want is people's hearts."

Everyone took their orders and left. Then, Elder Tianji came over and said solemnly, "Jiang Feng, I observed the sky a few nights ago and saw a precious light emerging from the extremely cold land to the west of Qingyun Sect. It seems a priceless treasure is about to appear."

Jiang Feng smiled when he heard this: "What? There's actually a treasure! We must go and take a look. The extremely cold place? What kind of place is that?"

Elder Tianji smiled and said, "There are two mysterious places on the Jiuzhou Continent that even the Human Emperor wouldn't dare to enter lightly! The first is the Extremely Cold Land. Legend has it that it's covered in ice and snow year-round. It's so cold that even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be instantly frozen into a statue the moment he steps in. Even a Great Accomplishment cultivator would only venture into the outer areas and wouldn't dare explore the central area at all!"

The second mysterious place is the Shura Sea, located due east of the Kyushu Continent. This vast region lacks a single landmass; all that's visible is the boundless, turbulent blue waters. Legend has it that this region harbors true dragons, their agile figures soaring between the sky and the deep sea. Furthermore, this region is home to countless powerful demonic beasts, a number so numerous that it defies imagination.

However, surprisingly, no cultivator has ever managed to escape from this Shura Sea alive. Even the mighty demon kings of the demon realm are daunted by this mysterious sea, not daring to venture into it.

Jiang Feng frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said solemnly, "How about this? In the next few days, you send sincere invitations to each of the three ancient families to find out what their attitudes are towards this matter. As for that extremely cold place... I've decided to go there myself to find out!"

When Old Man Tianji heard this, he couldn't help but look worried, and hurriedly advised: "Jiang Feng, that extremely cold place has always given me a very ominous premonition. Even with the magic divination technique that I am good at, it is difficult to see the secrets hidden in it. If you insist on going, you must be extra careful!" After that, everyone turned around and left.
