On this day.

In the Spirit Xiao Palace.

An Inspector Spirit Officer stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, in the Tianhe, an evil flood dragon is causing chaos, stirring winds and rain, leading to floods that submerge the ten continents. This minister submits the dereliction of duty of Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy!"

"Tianhe flood."

The Jade Emperor's expression turned severe, "Where is the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy now, and why has he not swiftly exterminated the evil flood dragon to quell the flood?!"

The Jade Emperor spoke.

Below, Sa Heavenly Master stepped forward and said loudly, "The Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy neglects the havoc caused by the evil flood dragon and does not think to train his troops. Instead, he embezzles military funds, exploits the soldiers, and secretly appropriates the mined resources and spiritual medicines from Tianhe as well as countless Tianhe treasures, causing much dissatisfaction among the immortals and soldiers. I request Your Majesty to hold the Marshal accountable for dereliction of duty and corruption!"

"Is there such a thing?!"

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor was furious.

Among the Four Heavenly Masters, Ge Xianweng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, recently, the Tianhe Water Army has been dispatched everywhere, continuously training. The appearance of the evil flood dragon and the water calamity in the west is truly not the marshal's fault."

"The west?"

The Jade Emperor frowned slightly.

All the immortal ministers below also fell silent.

Everyone knows the situation in the west, and if the disaster is from there, it truly cannot be blamed on the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy.

"Daoist Brother, you're mistaken."

"The Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy governs the Tianhe, and both east and west fall under the jurisdiction of the Water Mansion. How can there be places beyond the law?!"

"Furthermore."

"The Tianhe Water Army is ostensibly training, but in reality, it's the Marshal using public resources for personal gain, using it to search for various treasure-hunting spirit beasts and collect various treasure-hunting spiritual techniques. He even purchases spirit beasts and spells from scattered immortals out of the treasury. Truly absurd!"

Sa Heavenly Master closely monitors the Tianhe, and no slight movement escapes his Dharma Eye.

He's using this opportunity to fiercely strike.

Seeing Sa Heavenly Master determined to target the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy.

Ge Xianweng simply smiled.

Silently retreated, unwilling to argue.

Then, Gold Star Taibai stepped forward with a suggestion, "Your Majesty, the Tianhe water crisis is serious now, not the time for blame. Perhaps, having the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy swiftly mobilize the army to exterminate the evil flood dragon, and then discussing merits or faults, would be more prudent."

Seeing this Old Star Lord speak.

Sa Heavenly Master's mind turned.

Thinking of the Tianhe situation, he stayed silent.

"Reasonable!"

The Jade Emperor nodded and addressed Ge Xianweng, "Please, Immortal Weng, make a trip to Tianhe and order the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy to swiftly pacify Tianhe without delay!"

"This humble minister obeys the decree!"

Ge Xianweng accepted the order.

Receiving the decree, he left the Spirit Xiao Palace and headed towards Tianhe.

...

Tianhe.

Water Mansion.

"Old Immortal Weng arrives; I, Tianpeng, have failed to welcome you from afar. Please pardon my rudeness."

Lu Qingfeng led Ge Xianweng to the hall, smiling.

As Tianpeng, he is the governor of the Tianhe.

Equivalent to a Sealed Border Official, usually not required to attend court, nor to make daily reports, thus he's not familiar with many immortal ministers of the Heavenly Court.

Not counting their first encounter in the Spirit Xiao Palace.

One year ago, when Lu Qingfeng went to complain before the Jade Emperor, he met Ge Xianweng in the Tongming Hall. With Ge Xianweng leading the way, they exchanged a few words along the way, thus becoming acquainted.

This meeting felt much more familiar.

"No need for such formality, Marshal."

Ge Xianweng, bearing a decree, didn't bother with pleasantries and said, "A Spirit Officer reported that an evil flood dragon is wreaking havoc in the west, causing a flood. His Majesty was furious and ordered the Marshal to quickly suppress it."

"Western water calamity?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingfeng immediately understood: "Thank you, Ge Xianweng, please assure His Majesty that I will immediately muster troops and eliminate the evil flood dragon!"

"Then may the old daoist wish the marshal a great victory!"

Ge Xianweng smiled and bowed.

He then left the Water Mansion and returned to the Spirit Xiao Palace to report back on the decree.

Before leaving, he reminded, "Tianhe is exposed on all sides; the marshal should act cautiously to avoid inviting rumors and leaving someone with leverage."

"Thank you, Immortal Weng."

Lu Qingfeng knew his own affairs well.

He understood what Ge Xianweng was hinting at and quickly thanked him.

After Ge Xianweng departed.

"It must be that Sa Heavenly Master who again made slanderous remarks."

Lu Qingfeng snorted coldly and summoned a Divine General, commanding, "Summon the Heavenly Gang Saint, Nine Heavens Slaughter General, Gao Diaobei Weng God General, Long Skull Giant Beast General, Mighty Sword God King General... and other generals to quickly come to the Water Mansion for orders."

"Yes."

The Divine General obeyed the command, dispersing in all directions of the Water Mansion to notify the Tianhe Admirals.

...

True Monarch Hall.

Lu Qingfeng sat at the head, contemplating.

The appearance of the evil flood dragon in the western Tianhe was peculiar, regardless of any strangeness, the implication in the Jade Emperor's decree was clear—

"Pacify the Tianhe?"

"Simply exterminating the evil flood dragon isn't enough; there must be a confrontation with Li Jing to satisfy His Majesty."

Lu Qingfeng thought.

In fact.

Even only exterminating the evil flood dragon, since it resides in the region where 18 million Buddha soldiers are stationed, Lu Qingfeng's attempt to eliminate it would inevitably involve disputes and friction.

Having commanded Tianhe for over a year, his Majesty might be dissatisfied with his inaction, impatient, and thus spurred him on.

"Then I'll test the depth of the opponent first."

Lu Qingfeng was not afraid.

Before long.

The generals arrived.

The Heavenly Gang Saint, Nine Heavens Slaughter General, Gao Diaobei Weng God General, Long Skull Giant Beast General, Mighty Sword God King General, Huang Ding Governor, Black Ding Governor, Qing Ding Governor, Tianxuan Admiral, Tianji Admiral, Southern Spiritual God Officer, Western Spirit God Officer, Zi Day Straight Talisman Envoy, Ugly Day Straight Talisman Envoy, Si Day Direct Talisman Envoy, Weiri Straight Talisman Envoy, Shenri Straight Talisman Envoy, Xuri Straight Talisman Envoy, Hairi Direct Symbol Envoy—nineteen Tianhe Admirals all present.

Among them.

'Qing Ding Governor' Fu Daoist Wang Li, 'Tianji Admiral' Zhang Shu, 'Western Spirit God Officer' Xuan Ningzi, 'Weiri Straight Talisman Envoy' Xuan Yu Zi, along with Huang Ding, Black Ding, Southern Spiritual God Officer, and the six Direct Talisman Envoys, none came empty-handed.

Or Spiritual Rats.

Or Spiritual Cats.

Or Spiritual Dogs.

All sorts of strange, various in appearance, each more agile than the other. Some took out jade books, jade scrolls, jade dishware, golden books, golden pages, golden books, etc., recording spells.

Not something else entirely.

It was precisely Lu Qingfeng who ordered the Heavenly River Army to seek out the 'Treasure Hunting Spiritual Beasts' and 'Treasure Hunting Spirit Techniques.'

Over the course of a year.

Already collected quite a few.

In the Water Mansion Beast Garden, tens of thousands of treasure hunting spiritual beasts are being raised. Most are ordinary spiritual beasts. While they are said to be able to hunt treasures, in reality, they are just more sensitive to spiritual energy and spiritual machinery, capable only of discovering ordinary spiritual objects, sometimes even less than an Earth Immortal's spiritual perception.

However, Lu Qingfeng does not reject any who come.

He analyzes each one.

Recording all the talents and divine skills of these treasure hunting spiritual beasts into the panel.

And with the treasures of the Tianhe, he exchanged for treasure hunting spirit techniques from various sects, six hundred thousand soldiers, and loose immortals above ground and underground, all recorded.

All screened and derived.

Sitting on Tianhe.

With six hundred thousand soldiers under his command, countless treasures in the treasury.

Indeed efficient in gathering.

To this day.

Screen, merge, derive.

Lu Qingfeng has already obtained a great divine power, casually named 'Treasure Hunting Skill,' a rare treasure-hunting divine skill of Heaven and Earth. Once it is deeply understood, any future treasure will not escape Lu Qingfeng's sensing.

In the Primordial world, most treasures are owned, with few rare treasures left behind, and Lu Qingfeng is unwilling to waste time.

Yet in chaos, there are treasures too.

Although far rarer, in the future, Lu Qingfeng often needs to cultivate in chaos; with idle time, practicing this technique, should a blind cat meet a dead rat, stumble upon a treasure, it would be a chaos-born treasure, which even Golden Immortals would covet.

Furthermore.

Lu Qingfeng also plans to derive the 'Treasure Hunting Skill' up to the supreme great divine power. By then, the chance of finding treasures in the vast chaos will undoubtedly be higher.

However.

To strengthen it to the supreme great divine power is not an easy task.

Even with the 'Carefree Dream Road' divine skill, which consumes the magic power cultivation of the Space-Time Dharma Body for derivation, Lu Qingfeng initially in the Immortal Peach Orchard consumed numerous immortal peaches to derive five supreme great divine powers in one breath.

Now without the aid of immortal peaches, gentle accumulation is required, naturally slowing down the speed.

After a battle with Sa Heavenly Master.

Lu Qingfeng felt a lack of killing divine skills and wanted to derive the 'Great Five Elements Yin Yang Magnetic Annihilation Divine Light' into a supreme great divine power.

This divine skill and the 'Five-Colored Divine Light' are of the same origin and are also innate Five Elements. Cultivation, with the Five-Colored Divine Light as a base, is faster than other divine skills, achieving more with less.

Once strengthened.

The ability to rapidly increase combat power.

All other attack and defense divine skills will have to wait.

Not just 'Great Five Elements Yin Yang Magnetic Annihilation Divine Light.'

Lu Qingfeng's newly acquired 'Mixed Heaven Cover' and 'Mother-child Sensing Technique,' both concerning chaos and the connection between reality and the Primordial, must also be derived to the supreme level as soon as possible.

In this way, even if the federal online game 'shuts down,' or if the Heavenly Dao Master's chaotic treasure 'Great Chaos Heaven Order' is lost, Lu Qingfeng will not be disconnected from the game and reality.

Of course.

Whether Lu Qingfeng can traverse reality and the Primordial has anything to do with the 'Great Chaos Heaven Order' and the federation's Divine Stone Planet is still unknown.

Everything is just speculation, and Lu Qingfeng prepares for all contingencies.

Doing everything just to prepare.

"Great Five Elements Yin Yang Magnetic Annihilation Divine Light."

"Mixed Heaven Cover."

"Mother-child Sensing Technique."

Counting this way, the 'Treasure Hunting Skill' is the fourth, who knows which year and month it will be.

But some things are more important and urgent than others.

The 'Treasure Hunting Skill' is obviously not urgent and can be handled temporarily with great divine power without any harm.

Fortunately, even a great divine power has infinite mystery, being top-notch in the Primordial world.

In the Ancient Primordial Times, the famous 'Treasure Seeking Rat,' its innate divine skill, was probably just a great divine power.

Not much stronger than Lu Qingfeng's 'Treasure Hunting Skill.'

Analyzed carefully.

In the Primordial, those famous divine skills—

Like the Great Saint's 'Somersault Cloud,' 'Seventy-two Changes,' 'Lawless Incarnation,' as the Daoist's 'Fatian Xiangdi,' 'Mountain Whip Stone,' 'Five Elements Great Escape,' like the Buddhist Sect's 'Divine Feet,' 'Heavenly Vision,' like the Saint Infant King's 'Samadhi True Fire,' like the Yellow Wind Great Saint's 'Sanmei Divine Wind,' etc.

Are all merely great divine powers.

Only these individuals, with profound Dao abilities, cultivated great divine power to a high level, wielding supreme might.

In this world.

Regarding supreme great divine power, Lu Qingfeng knows only the 'Five-Colored Divine Light' of Kong Xuan, the Buddhist Sect's 'Hand-held Buddha Country,' and Wuzhuang Temple's Immortal Zhenyuan's 'Sleeve Universe' and a few other divine skills.

Divine skills, great divine skills, when cultivated to the utmost, possess significant power and mystery, enough to dominate.

This is Lu Qingfeng.

Short in cultivation time.

Without enough time to cultivate divine skills to a high level, relying on the Yellow Court Scripture, deriving divine skills into great divine powers, and further into supreme great divine powers.

Relying on the overwhelming divine skill level to make up for the lack of divine skill insights.

Thus.

Divine skills may seem ordinary, great divine power commonplace.

But in reality, it is not.

As Lu Qingfeng continues his cultivation depth, the day will certainly come when his great divine powers and supreme great divine powers shine brightly.

Lu Qingfeng looked at the spiritual beasts and spirit techniques in the hall and instructed the divine officers and immortal officials standing nearby to accept them, entering them into the beast garden and library.

Only then did he scan the gathered generals, speaking loudly: "In the Western Territory of the Heavenly River, an evil flood dragon is causing disaster, bringing about a flood. His Majesty commands this Marshal to quickly pacify it, and the generals are ordered to muster troops and prepare, three days from now, set out for the Western Realm, without fail!"

"This subordinate obeys!"

All generals responded in unison.

Their expressions varied, each with their own thoughts.

Lu Qingfeng paid no attention.

Three days later.

The troops set out for the Western Realm.
