Chapter 27

Du Shaofu became engrossed in his cultivation, as if he himself had transformed into a newborn human-shaped Golden-winged Great Peng Bird, continuously absorbing oxygen, exploring everything he needed, acquiring everything that could strengthen him, and comprehending everything...

"Whoosh!"

Inside the cave, there was a faint rumbling sound, and a terrifying pressure swept out, astonishingly shocking.

If a powerful person could see everything inside the cave at this moment, they would surely be shocked. If this news were to spread, it would shock the world.

"Human fusing with the secret bone of the Golden-winged Great Peng Bird, flowing with the essence blood of the Golden-winged Great Peng Bird, cultivating the techniques of the Golden-winged Great Peng Bird clan—this is a miracle, a miracle..."

A surprised female voice in Sanskrit echoed from within Du Shaofu, who was immersed in a wondrous state.

In the early morning, the pavilions were separated, and the courtyards were deep.

"Father, you called for me?"

A young girl gently entered the grand hall, dressed in orange-red attire, which accentuated her long, slender legs and a slim waist, making her already tall and slender figure even more so. Her elegant demeanor had a touch of coolness, making her very charming.

"Shengnan, there have been many strange occurrences in the Savage Beast Mountains recently. According to the information I have, the Heavenly Snake Sect, the Profound Yin Sect, and the Profound Symbol Sect have all sent their powerful figures into the Savage Beast Mountains. What do you think about this?"

A middle-aged man said to the girl in orange-red attire. He was rather fat, with a potbelly, not very tall, but exuded an absolute authority that made people wary.

"Heavenly Snake Sect, Profound Yin Sect, Profound Symbol Sect."

The girl in orange-red attire raised her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in her bright eyes. She then looked up at the fat middle-aged man and said, "Father, let me go and take a look. There must be some treasure that has appeared in the Savage Beast Mountains. With the reputation of my sect, even if I encounter them, they wouldn't dare to do anything to me."

"Shengnan, when you were born, I named you Shengnan, hoping that you would be stronger than any man. Over the years, you have indeed been stronger than your brother. However, it's not easy for you to return from your sect this time, and Father is really..."

"Father, I'm fine. If my sect finds out, they would probably also send me to the Savage Beast Mountains. If there are any benefits, we can't let the Heavenly Snake Sect, the Profound Yin Sect, and the Profound Symbol Sect get them."

The girl in orange-red attire interrupted the middle-aged man, smiling slightly. "Perhaps this trip to the Savage Beast Mountains will bring me some opportunities. It's said that there are many demonic beasts in the Savage Beast Mountains, and I've long wanted to see them."

"You, if your brother and sister were half as good as you, I would be satisfied." The middle-aged man smiled at the girl, then said seriously, "I will have a few of the palace's powerful figures accompany you. Be careful."

"I understand." The girl in orange-red attire nodded in response.

Outside the Stone City, it had been half a month since the beast tide passed. After two terrifying beast tides, the third one that everyone feared did not happen. Some people also noticed that everything in the Savage Beast Mountains was gradually calming down.

"There must be a treasure that has appeared, which is why the beast tide was triggered."

"Now that the treasure has appeared, go and seek it quickly. We can't miss this opportunity."

"..."

The fear and lingering fear brought by the beast tide gradually faded with time, and the allure of the treasure finally made some demon hunters muster the courage to take the risk and seek the treasure.

If there was one person, there would be a second. Many demon hunter teams also entered the Savage Beast Mountains, intending to search for the treasure that had appeared there. Then, a large number of adventurers flooded into the Savage Beast Mountains.

"Bang!"

In the Du family's courtyard, Du Zhenwu's hand suddenly slammed onto the table, shattering the stone table into pieces. His eyes were filled with anger as he shouted, "Who exactly broke into the Du family and took Shaofu? If I find out, I won't let them off!"

"Brother, we haven't been able to find out. It's been so long, and Shaofu..." Du Zhixiong sighed, his face pale. For so long, he had been investigating various information every day, and he hadn't had a good rest for a long time. Worried about his nephew's safety, he had become visibly thinner.

"I believe that Shaofu is blessed. A single bolt of lightning didn't take his life, and after a great disaster, there must be a great fortune." Du Zhenwu's face was serious. He then looked at Du Zhixiong and said, "Have you told the third brother?"

Du Zhixiong nodded and sighed, "After telling the third brother, he didn't react much. He is still drunk every day."

Du Zhenwu didn't speak, his expression changing. Then he said, "How is the situation in the Savage Beast Mountains?"

"The Ye family, the An family, the Qin family, and others have all sent people into the Savage Beast Mountains. It's rumored that a treasure has appeared there." Du Zhixiong looked up and said, "Brother, our Du family can't fall behind. Should we also go and join in the fun?"

"You go personally, and take a few of the younger generation to train. It's a pity that Shaofu isn't here. If he were, taking him to train would definitely make him progress faster." Du Zhenwu sighed.

...

In the mysterious cave, a rumbling sound echoed, as if a thousand horses were galloping. Du Shaofu's body was surrounded by a golden glow, with profound energy fluctuating, and secret runes shimmering like auspicious clouds, shaking the cave.

In the golden light, Du Shaofu's skin glowed, as if secret runes were emerging from every inch of his flesh, the light becoming increasingly intense, like a small sun.

"True purity, yang as the essence, like the precious moon in the sky, sweeping away the clouds without a trace, a full moon in the vast sky, the golden sprout in the upper golden cauldron grows day by day, the posterior realm is complete, the anterior divine gate opens!"

Finally, Du Shaofu roared, his body trembling with light, and all the profound energy in his body rushed into the divine gate below his abdomen.

"Ji!"

At this moment, the mysterious secret runes on Du Shaofu's back once again condensed into the shadow of a Golden-winged Great Peng Bird, roaring and howling, as if thunder was rumbling, with secret runes spewing out, exuding a tyrannical and fierce aura.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound came from the divine gate below his abdomen, and Du Shaofu's body trembled violently. Then, the gate of the divine gate opened wide, and a vast amount of profound energy instantly gathered there, sweeping out like an ocean, with secret runes flashing around his body.

With the divine gate open, profound energy poured in, and secret runes shimmered, forming a Golden-winged Great Peng Bird inside the divine gate, exuding a shocking aura!

On his chest, the broken bone glowed with a golden light, emitting a terrifying and tyrannical aura, as if it had the power to suppress everything!

The difference between the Posterior Realm and the Anterior Realm, besides the huge gap in realms, is that Posterior Realm practitioners can only slowly accumulate profound energy through cultivation techniques to break through, while Anterior Realm practitioners can already absorb and refine the essence and energy of heaven and earth for cultivation, which requires the opening of the divine gate to gather the essence and energy of heaven and earth for refinement. Opening the divine gate within the body is also a sign and representation of the Anterior Realm level.

"Ah!"

With a loud shout, his heart surged, and secret runes flashed around his body. The profound energy inside the divine gate surged like an ocean, and Du Shaofu felt a powerful force surging within him. This power was far greater than before, many times stronger.
