BTTH: I have a key to travel to Wu Dong Qian Kun.

Chapter 338: The Immortal Golden Body, Qing Yan Jing Obtains the Inheritance

"Go!"

Xiao Tian casually tossed the black ball onto the stone platform.

"Boom!"

As soon as the black ball landed, it shattered and transformed into a wisp of black flame, enveloping the golden page. Only by sacrificing the Indestructible Great Sun Body could the divine fire be summoned to burn the golden page and refine the body, transforming it into the Immortal Golden Body.

When the black flame touched the golden page, it began to burn. In the next moment, millions of golden rays erupted, melting into a pool of golden magma with a terrifying temperature that even the space couldn't withstand.

Xiao Tian observed the golden magma, seeing countless ancient runes flowing within it.

"Gurgle, gurgle~"

A large amount of golden magma appeared out of thin air, gathering above the altar into a floating golden lake. The liquid continuously churned, emitting a destructive force capable of annihilating anything that entered.

After a while, golden flames slowly rose from the lake, forming an ancient inscription in the air: "Immerse the body into the divine pool to transform into the golden body."

Without hesitation, Xiao Tian willed his colossal supreme body into the burning golden magma lake. Since he was closely connected with the Indestructible Great Sun Body, he could sense everything the body experienced.

However, Xiao Tian's avatar possessed the cultivation of a Saint Heavenly Sovereign and had endured numerous body-tempering pains with exotic flames, so this power was nothing to him.

Under the assault of the immense power, the Indestructible Great Sun Body began to melt and rapidly shrink. This shrinking differed from before; it was like a fat person shedding excess fat.

Despite the shrinking, the supreme body grew stronger and more robust. Its surface color transitioned from golden to deep purple-gold.

Meanwhile, the ten suns of the Indestructible Great Sun Body also melted into golden liquid, merging into the body layer by layer. This process continued for a long time.

Xiao Tian opened his eyes, for his Indestructible Great Sun Body had finally completed its transformation.

"Boom!"

The golden magma lake was torn apart, and a massive figure emerged. This body no longer had the sun in its mind, and its body was entirely purple-gold. Ancient purple-gold patterns adorned its surface, each one profound and intricate.

Seeing this body gave an illusion of immortality, as if even the power of time couldn't erode it. Xiao Tian knew that nothing in this world was truly immortal, even the heavens would perish eventually. However, the Immortal Golden Body, though not granting true immortality, significantly enhanced his strength.

It was known that the Supreme Body cultivated by the ancient Heavenly Emperor was also the Immortal Golden Body.

"The Immortal Golden Body naturally possesses three divine abilities. The first is the Immortal Divine Pattern, which can transform the power of immortality into divine patterns that are infinitely variable and indestructible, with a sharpness comparable to true holy artifacts."

Xiao Tian thought, "The ancient Heavenly Emperor condensed 999 divine patterns, able to contend with top-tier high-grade holy artifacts. However, without thousands of divine patterns, this ability is somewhat limited."

That said, the Immortal Divine Pattern was just the most basic divine ability of the Immortal Golden Body. What truly attracted Xiao Tian was the second ability, the Immortal Lotus, and the third, the Immortal Life-Death Transformation.

The second ability, the Immortal Lotus, allowed Mu Chen in the original story, who was at the initial stage of the Spirit Heavenly Sovereign, to withstand the true phoenix's lethal attack at the Immortal Heavenly Sovereign level. With Xiao Tian's Saint Heavenly Sovereign strength, he could resist opponents of the same level unless they used one of the 36 ultimate divine abilities.

The third divine ability, the Immortal Life-Death Transformation, was a life-saving move. Once cultivated, it allowed rebirth from near-death, becoming even stronger.

"Since the Immortal Golden Body is complete, it's time to enter the Womb of the World and comprehend the other two divine abilities."

With this thought, Xiao Tian and his Immortal Golden Body entered the Womb of the World.

Elsewhere.

In the void, one of Xiao Tian's avatars stood guard, preventing intruders from the Great Thousand World.

"Swish!"

Suddenly, the void twisted, and Qing Yan Jing's graceful figure appeared out of thin air. As soon as she appeared, Xiao Tian's avatar sensed her.

Dressed in black, Xiao Tian appeared, smiling, "Your closed-door training yielded great results, I see."

"Yes!"

Qing Yan Jing nodded, "The Womb of the World is indeed a divine object. What would have taken me decades or centuries to comprehend only took a short time now."

Although it seemed a short time to the outside world, she had actually spent decades in the Womb of the World.

Qing Yan Jing looked at Xiao Tian, saying, "Now, I am not inferior to you, as I am now a Saint Grandmaster of Spirit Arrays."

"Congratulations."

Dressed in black, Xiao Tian smiled, "But do you think you're the only one who has improved? I have broken through to the true Saint Heavenly Sovereign level, and with my three bodies united, I can unleash the peak power of a Saint Heavenly Sovereign."

"Tsk, if you didn't have the Tri-Cleansing Golden Body, you'd be at the same level as me!"

Qing Yan Jing rolled her eyes.

Black-clad Xiao Tian flipped his hand, and two jade bottles appeared out of thin air. He tossed the bottles to Qing Yan Jing, "These are elixirs from my main body, corresponding to Spirit Heavenly Sovereign and Immortal Heavenly Sovereign levels, each capable of increasing your power by two minor levels."

Qing Yan Jing accepted the bottles without hesitation.

Black-clad Xiao Tian nodded, "The main body asked me to tell you to meet him after your training. He plans to take you to obtain one of the 36 divine abilities, the Eightfold Floating Pagoda!"

With that, he waved his hand, and a space gate appeared out of thin air.

"I understand."

Qing Yan Jing stepped through the gate.

Inside, she saw Xiao Tian's main body coming through from the other side.

"Brother Xiao, I missed you so much!"

She rushed over, hugging him tightly.

Not seeing him for "decades," she missed him dearly.

Xiao Tian hugged her back, softly asking, "Qing Yan, will you be the Empress of my Heavenly Court?"

Now, with Qing Yan Jing's strength at the Saint Heavenly Sovereign level, she was the most suitable candidate. Others like Xun Er and Ling Qingzhu, though talented, had lower cultivation levels. The Heavenly Court's elders would only respect them because of Xiao Tian, not truly for themselves.

Qing Yan Jing shook her head, "Brother Xiao, I met you last among the others. How can I be the Empress? Let the other sisters have that honor."

Having interacted as soul bodies, she had seen many of Xiao Tian's memories with other women, including Xun Er.

"They aren't suitable with their current strength. You are the best choice."

Xiao Tian said, "Publicly, you will be the Empress, but privately, I will treat you all equally."

As the Heavenly Court Empress, Qing Yan Jing could help him with his plans for the ancient Floating Pagoda Clan.

"Alright."

Qing Yan Jing nodded.

In the Ancient Sacred Abyss.

Xiao Tian and Qing Yan Jing appeared again.

Although Qing Yan Jing had the battle strength of a Saint Heavenly Sovereign, she was still a Spirit Heavenly Sovereign and needed some divine abilities for protection.

The Eightfold Floating Pagoda of the Floating Pagoda Clan was the best choice, as it required only a large amount of Supreme Spiritual Liquid, not extreme power.

With the Heavenly Court controlling two supercontinents and many ordinary continents, they had no shortage of Supreme Spiritual Liquid.

After flying for a while, they reached a vast abyss, an endless black hole that gave a sense of dread. One side of the abyss radiated endless light, with a brilliant sun suspended, while the other side was pitch black, filled with demonic energy, like a Nine Nether Demon Domain.

Light and darkness constantly clashed, leaving the space perpetually broken, with occasional terrifying space storms.

"This is the Abyss of Fallen Gods!"

Qing Yan Jing said slowly, "It is said that in ancient times, the Floating Pagoda Clan's ancestor and three other Saint Heavenly Sovereigns fought a fierce battle here against four Heavenly Demon Emperors of the outer realm, resulting in mutual destruction. Even after thousands of years, their residual wills still linger here."

As they landed, an ancient voice echoed in their minds, "Helpers of the Great Thousand World, you have finally arrived..."

Hearing the voice, they were not surprised. Even ordinary Supreme beings' remnants could last for millennia, so the Saint Heavenly Sovereigns' remnants were not surprising.

"Please enter the Four Saints Tower and help us eliminate the remnants of the four Heavenly Demon Emperors. Otherwise, if they connect with the outer realm, the entire Sacred Abyss Continent will be dragged into the Demon Domain, becoming a bridgehead for invading the Great Thousand World!"

"This is no problem."

Xiao Tian spoke calmly. These were just the remnants of the Heavenly Demon Emperors, not their true forms.

He looked at the intersection of light and dark ahead, where a giant black-and-white tower stood. The tower had only four floors but felt immovable.

Xiao Tian knew that each floor housed the remnants of a Heavenly Demon Emperor and a Saint Heavenly Sovereign.

"Boom!"

The gate of the Four Saints Tower slowly opened with a thunderous sound. Feeling the ancient aura, Xiao Tian said to Qing Yan Jing, "Let's go in!"

He and Qing Yan Jing flew into the gate.

The first floor belonged to the Floating Pagoda Ancestor. With a sweep of Xiao Tian's divine sense, the entire layout appeared in his mind.

"Found it, let's go!"

Xiao Tian waved his sleeve, leading Qing Yan Jing to the center. On the desolate ground was a massive black altar, emitting terrifying waves. At the top of the altar stood four ancient stone pillars with blazing flames, like liquid spiritual power, giving a sense of dread.

One stone pillar stood in the center, with three around it. In front of the central pillar was a gray stone coffin, bound tightly by flame chains. The coffin seemed like a black hole, swallowing everything, radiating extreme evil.

"Die!"

Xiao Tian shouted, and radiant flames enveloped the coffin, refining the demon emperor's will inside.

"Ah!"

A scream echoed as Xiao Tian refined, "How dare you refine me! When I get out, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

"You won't get the chance!"

Xiao Tian sneered, speeding up the refinement. Soon, the demon emperor's remnant was completely eradicated.

"Buzz!"

At that moment, an ancient glow emerged from a stone tablet on the altar. An elderly figure appeared from the light.

"Thank you, young friend, for ridding the Great Thousand World of a great evil!"

The Floating Pagoda Ancestor bowed to Xiao Tian, then turned to Qing Yan Jing, smiling, "I didn't expect such an outstanding descendant from my Floating Pagoda Clan."

"Greetings, Ancestor!"

Qing Yan Jing quickly bowed.

The ancestor said, "Since you have come here, I will pass on my Eightfold Floating Pagoda to you!"

"Thank you, Ancestor!"

Qing Yan Jing thanked him.

The ancestor said, "Follow me!"

Qing Yan Jing looked at Xiao Tian, saying, "I'll go with the ancestor for the inheritance."

"Go ahead. I'll deal with the other three demons."

Xiao Tian nodded, flying to the upper floors.

Watching Xiao Tian leave, the ancestor waved his sleeve, taking Qing Yan Jing away from the altar.

The second floor of the Four Saints Tower housed the Spear Ancestor's will. The Spear Ancestor, a Saint Heavenly Sovereign, was the most knowledgeable about spears in ancient times. After eliminating the Heavenly Demon Emperor's will here, Xiao Tian summoned Lin Dong.

Lin Dong, who used spears and halberds, was chosen as the inheritor by the Spear Ancestor due to his knowledge. With no outsiders around, there was no choice but to select him.

The third floor was guarded by the Sky-Supporting Ancestor. Xiao Tian summoned everyone, and the Sky-Supporting Ancestor chose Little Marten as the inheritor.

The fourth floor held the Tai Ling Ancestor's inheritance. The Tai Ling Extinguishing Heavenly Light, one of the 36 ultimate divine abilities, was obtained by Xun Er.

As they received their inheritances, Xiao Tian took out the Demon Extermination Order he had obtained.

"Swish!"

Xiao Tian injected the remnants of the four Heavenly Demon Emperors into the order, making the originally dark order emit dazzling golden light. At the same time, his rank as a low-level demon exterminator changed to Demon King.

He sought this upgrade for the benefits of the Great Thousand Palace. Despite its titular first position, the palace held many treasures, ultimate divine abilities, and supreme bodies ranked in the top twenty, exchangeable with enough demon extermination points.

As an alchemist, Xiao Tian needed many heavenly treasures for refining elixirs. Additionally, Xun Er, Ling Qingzhu, and others needed stronger supreme bodies for their cultivation.
