“I?” Xiao ran was suspicious.

“Yes.” Patriarch darknorth nodded.

“After breaking through to the Empyrean realm, you can call yourself this Empyrean. If you dare to do this before breaking through, you will die a terrible death.”

“What title do you plan to give yourself?” Xiao ran was curious.

At the heaven sealing realm, one could take the word ‘heaven’ as their title, and after reaching the Emperor realm, one could take the word ‘Emperor’ as their title.

A title didn’t just represent fame, it also represented one’s strength.

“I’ll call him the darknorth immortal Emperor!” Said patriarch darknorth after a moment of thought.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.” The darknorth immortal Emperor nodded.

“Alright,” he said. Xiao ran had no objections.

“What are your plans next?” The darknorth immortal Emperor asked.

“Let’s go to the Jade Lake sacred ground first. After we’ve dealt with them, we’ll turn to the capital of Zhou state and ask about Qian Xuan’s whereabouts.” Xiao ran said.

“Where’s the 12th sword?”

“He’s in the dark,” Xiao ran said.

“Just let me know if you need me to take action.” Emperor darknorth said.

“Alright,” he said. Xiao ran agreed.

Whoosh!

With a flash of green light, the darknorth immortal Emperor once again entered Xiao ran’s shadow.

The shadow was sealed.

Xiao ran looked at the Vermilion Bird, and the latter understood his meaning. It turned into a fiery red spiritual light and went into Xiao ran’s right wrist.

“Roar!” Xiao Wu growled.

It turned into the size of a pocket and fell into Xiao ran’s palm, which he kept in his arms.

He looked at the divination map and muttered to himself.

He took out the Princess Royal’s portrait. Its strength had been stuck at the 10th stage of the mystical Grandmaster realm. Xiao ran had suppressed it and did not help it break through.

He had been busy and didn’t have time.

Since he had time now, he could raise his cultivation.

He took out the seed of the five elements sacred fire. This was the acquired power of the five elements, the same as the five elements sacred fire that the Vermilion Bird had comprehended.

It didn’t sound as powerful as the innate five elements.

In reality, it wasn ‘t.

In addition to the power of the ten Supremes, there was also the power of the upper sky, which could suppress it.

Even the devouring power, the destructive power, and the destructive power were inferior in front of it. One could see how powerful it was.

If not.

The Vermilion Bird wouldn’t have spent so much to condense the five elements sacred fire.

Then, he took out the innate fire spirit and obtained it from the fiery mountain. He even killed the people from the Jade Lake sacred ground.

With the five elemental sacred fire seed, the Princess Royal’s portrait would be able to grow all the way to the tenth level of the heaven sealing realm. There was even a 50% chance that it would reach the great emperor realm.

He pointed with his finger.

A beam of pure spiritual energy landed on the portrait and unfurled it.

“Go!” Xiao ran made his move.

He injected the seed of the five elements sacred fire into the center of its brows. The golden light shone brightly and lit up the painting. At this moment, the eldest Princess in the painting seemed to come alive.

The divine rhythm spread out and became vivid.

It didn’t seem like a painting, but a living person.

Literary Qi and righteous Qi, two completely different elemental powers, exploded from its body.

For a moment.

Three completely different spiritual lights slowly illuminated it.

Under Xiao ran’s gaze, the seed of the five elements sacred fire merged into its body and entered its dantian until it was indistinguishable.

He looked at the connate fire spirit in his hand.

A golden light flickered in his palm as Xiao ran erased its intelligence.

He fused it with the portrait of the eldest Princess, and even more powerful spiritual light shot out one after another.

He didn’t know how long had passed.

The innate fire spirit had perfectly merged into its body. At this point, it was no longer an ordinary body, but a powerful innate fire spirit body.

However, this was not the end.

“I should take this opportunity to ripen its Dao fruit and completely condense it.” Xiao ran’s eyes glowed.

He transferred the pure spiritual power into its body and poured it into the seed of the five elements sacred fire.

He didn’t care about consumption.

Two hours later.

The seed of the five elements sacred fire had matured and turned into a butterfly. It had condensed into a five elements Dao fruit and was suspended above its head. Its cultivation had also broken through to the martial King realm.

With the condensation of the five elements Dao fruit, his temperament changed and he became more noble.

Then, he took out the blood essence of the Vermilion Bird and used the finishing touch to describe it on its body, supplementing it with righteousness and literary Qi.

He only put away the divine gaze brush after he had exhausted all of the Vermilion bird’s blood essence in his body.

When he looked at the portrait of the eldest Princess, he realized that she had already broken through to the first level of the combat venerable realm.

The first was the innate fire spirit, the second was the Vermilion bird’s blood essence, and the third was the pure spirit energy that Xiao ran had left in its body.

Only by stacking the three together would one be able to complete the leap between major realms.

With his hands behind his back, Xiao ran looked at it with a smile.

The eldest Princess walked out of the portrait, and all the strange phenomena disappeared. She stood in front of Xiao ran and looked him in the eye.

He didn’t know if it was an illusion.

Xiao ran felt that it seemed to have changed, as if the person standing in front of him was not a painting, but a living person.

“An illusion?”

He shook his head.

It must be so. He had never heard of paintings turning into living people.

“Collect!”

With a wave of her sleeve, a beam of pure spiritual energy landed on the painting, and the eldest Princess returned to the painting.

He kept the portrait.

He looked in the direction of the barren County. Before he left, he had to make a trip there and collect the ten grains of star sand he had left there.

He broke through the space and walked out.

The celestial Emperor used the golden light steps and The Purple Cloud boots, and his speed was extremely fast.

After a few leaps, they had already arrived at the warehouse in the barren County.

There were ten golden armored warriors standing guard here. Other than them, there was also a Battalion of soldiers.

Seeing that Xiao ran had arrived, the general stepped forward and bowed respectfully.”Greetings, Sir!”

“You know me?” Xiao ran felt strange.

“When my Lord was fighting earlier, I was fortunate enough to see my Lord’s heroic bearing, killing Zhu wudao with a powerful divine ability.” The general said.
