Chapter 1: Taking Stock of the Harvest, Hou Tu Transforms

  In the blink of an eye, a thousand years had passed since Li Feng returned to the valley after the end of the catastrophe.

  At this time, the valley was filled with flames, and a chaotic fire slowly refined a dragon corpse into a liquid. The top was covered by Li Feng's Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array, which brought down infinite silver star power to envelop the corpse, accelerating the refining speed and improving the quality. As the chaotic fire burned and refined, the impurities in the corpse were slowly extracted, leaving only the most precious part.

  Li Feng threw his right hand, and it merged into the Divine Dragon Tower he had refined. The Divine Dragon Tower now shone with an even more brilliant light than before, spinning rapidly in mid-air. Li Feng smiled to himself and continued refining the next corpse...

  From the return of the mountain valley, Li Feng began to refine his magic treasure. This time, although he didn't get a powerful spiritual treasure, what Li Feng got was still unimaginably huge. If he didn't refine it, it would be a waste, so he was busy with joy.

  But Li Feng returned to the valley and first looked at the situation of Hou Tu. Hou Tu's transformation was also nearing, estimated to be in just a few years. The blood group where Hou Tu is located has slowed down its absorption of spiritual energy, as the spiritual energy has basically reached saturation.

  Since he successfully entered the late stage of Daluo Jinxian 500 years ago, he has been completely at ease. With his current cultivation plus the Hunyuan Bell and the Zhou Tian Star Array, the small Tribulation of Transformation is nothing to worry about. Moreover, Hou Tu's tribulation may not even require him, after all, Hou Tu has the post-heavenly treasure Tian Di Linglong Xuan Huang Pagoda in her hands, which is said to be invincible in defense. And Zu Wu is known for his powerful physical body, it's unknown whether the Tribulation of Transformation can break through Hou Tu's physical body or not. Therefore, Li Feng patiently refined the treasure every day, repeating the process day and night.

  When it comes to the later period of Da Luo Jinxian, one can't help but mention that Li Feng's luck is really good. Among the corpses he collected, there is the corpse of Xuantian Laozu, a pre-heavenly demon god. Xuantian Laozu was transformed from the pre-heavenly clear air when Pangu opened up the sky. After his fall, his corpse returned to its origin and transformed into a large mass of pre-heavenly clear air. This made Li Feng overjoyed. It's worth knowing that this pre-heavenly clear air is incredibly valuable. The Three Purities are formed by the combination of Pangu's primordial spirit and the pre-heavenly clear air, so one can imagine how precious it is.

  Li Feng, who had obtained the innate clear energy, immediately began to refine it and also divided half of it to Hou Tu. Hou Tu was now completely different from what he knew in his previous life, not only did he have a primordial spirit, but also because he didn't merge with the other eleven ancestral witches, so he didn't absorb the innate turbid energy at the time of the opening of heaven.

  Originally, the twelve ancestral witches flew eastward and stopped at Mount Buzhou. Then they all sank into the ground, continuously absorbing the turbid air from the ground to refine their bodies. Hou Tu is now with Li Feng, even if he wants to go, there is no chance.

  After Li Feng refined the innate clear air, his cultivation also broke through to the later stage of Daluo Jinxian. In the current vast continent, he is considered a figure of some stature.

  For thousands of years, Li Feng refined the countless corpses he collected and merged most of them into the Divine Dragon Tower. The Divine Dragon Tower has now been nourished by countless essences and has become a post-heavenly treasure. If it is joined with great merit in the future, it can become a post-heavenly treasure of merit, although not as powerful as the Tian Di Ling Huang Treasure Pagoda that stands on one's head, it will be unbeatable and also have the effect of suppressing the aura of heaven. The Divine Dragon Tower, however, excels at balance between offense and defense, if trapped inside the tower, even a saint would likely lose face, to know that the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array is one of the strongest arrays in the Primordial Chaos, the Witch and Demon tribes are precisely because they have the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array and the Twelve Du Tian Shen Sha Great Array these two anti-heavenly great arrays that even saints dare not provoke them lightly, which also created the fact that the Witch and Demon tribes dominated the Primordial Chaos.

  As for merits, Li Feng was still quite depressed. Other travelers who even created a set of skills could get some merits, and he also created the "Hunyuan Jue", but not a single hair came from it. As for preaching, he had thought about it too, but when he preached to Hou Tu, he also brought it to the tens of thousands of living beings around the mountain. He looked up at the sky to see if there were any merits coming down, unfortunately, the weather was clear and sunny, still nothing came, making him depressed.

  "Grass, it can't be that the Heavenly Way is displeased with me and has deducted points from my brother?" Li Feng began to suspect whether it was the Heavenly Way playing tricks on him. In fact, Li Feng didn't know that he didn't have any merit, but rather his merit was too small, so it hadn't descended yet. He was a transformation of Pangu's primordial spirit, and his body possessed immense merit from opening up the heavens, but this also suppressed the other merits he had obtained. Therefore, the Heavenly Way hadn't bestowed merit upon him as a reward, but rather stored it away for him. If the Heavenly Way were to find out about his thoughts, who knows whether it would deduct half of his merit.

  Li Feng's stockpile far exceeded his imagination, so he prepared to perfect the Divine Dragon Tower while refining a spiritual treasure. His hands held countless broken spiritual treasures, which would be refined and returned to their original source, then re-condensed into another invaluable spiritual treasure. Unfortunately, he hadn't thought of what kind of treasure to refine it into yet, so he could only wait until later to decide.

  On this day, only Li Feng's mountain valley above suddenly appeared a large area of dark clouds, lightning and thunder, but it was Hou Tu's transformed thunderbolt.

  The heavenly calamity has now taken shape, stretching for tens of thousands of miles. The calamity cloud is constantly churning, absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. The surrounding spiritual energy is rushing towards the calamity cloud like a tidal wave, and the calamity cloud welcomes all comers, laughing as it accepts them. All the spiritual energy within a hundred-mile radius of the small mountain valley has been absorbed by the calamity cloud. At this point, the calamity cloud stops absorbing spiritual energy, and the world suddenly plunges into darkness, so dark that not a single ray of light can be seen. The transformation of the calamity has begun.

  Li Feng was cautiously guarding beside him, just in case.

  All of a sudden, there was a loud "boom".

  A gigantic, boundless purple lightning bolt, like a furious dragon, with an aura that seemed capable of destroying all things, as if it was going to tear the heavens and earth apart, shot straight towards Hou Tu.

  As for the Houtu side, the red ** in the blood group has begun to gradually form a human shape, and it is slowly transforming into a physical body. The purple lightning struck down, but directly struck the almost formed body back into its original liquid state.

  Li Feng beside him looked worried, although if he helped, these tribulations would be a piece of cake. However, that wouldn't do much good for Hou Tu. Relying on his own strength to overcome the tribulation could bring great benefits. So he decided to make his move at the critical moment. Moreover, Hou Tu didn't even use the Tian Di Ling Long Huang Ba Ta now, and it was possible that he might not need him after all.

  After the purple lightning struck the earth, it entered the blood group of Hou Tu, constantly destroying and impacting from inside and outside. Only the purple electric light flickered inside the blood group, making a "zhi, zhi" sound, but it didn't cause any harm or impact to Hou Tu. At this time, Hou Tu began to rapidly transform and shape his body again. The purple lightning in his body had been refined by Hou Tu. Before the arrival of the second heavenly tribulation, Hou Tu's physical body was once again shaped out.

  The power of the second heavenly tribulation was several times that of the first, but Hou Tu had already solidified her physical body, so there was nothing to be afraid of. Even without using divine powers, she could still survive the lightning calamity with just her physical body alone. After all, her physical body was that of a primordial witch! In the vast expanse of the universe, even saints didn't dare say their physical bodies were stronger than those of a primordial witch. As the heavenly tribulation descended, Hou Tu did nothing and simply stood there, allowing the lightning to strike her...

  The several heavenly tribulations that followed were all used by Hou Tu to temper his body, and Li Feng was both delighted and somewhat depressed. He thought that when he himself had passed through the tribulation, it wasn't just a matter of nine deaths and one life, but also extremely perilous. But looking at Hou Tu, he didn't take the heavenly tribulations seriously at all, and they weren't even on the same level.

  After the last calamity, Hou Tu walked out under Li Feng's expectant gaze. A stunning woman in a yellow long dress emerged from it, holding a golden treasure pagoda in her left hand, which was the Tian Di Ling Long Xuan Huang Treasure Pagoda. The woman walked to Li Feng's side, slightly bowed, and gave Li Feng a gentle bow, "Little sister Hou Tu, greetings brother." Her voice was melodious, like the song of an oriole, intoxicating one's heart and soul.

  "No need to be so polite, please get up quickly." Li Feng said hurriedly, his mouth already curved into a smile. Hou Tu smiled slightly, like a hundred flowers blooming at once, and slowly stood up. At this moment, Li Feng was already enchanted by Hou Tu's smile, dazed and confused, not even knowing his own surname...
