Chapter 1085: The First Victory Against Yin Qi

This day.

Small Court Meeting.

Shang Rong bowed and said in a deep voice, "Great King, regarding the matter of the Return Ruins, public sentiment is surging. It is not just the Ten Thousand Races; even our officialdom and Military have been severely affected, and people's hearts are restless."

Wen Zhong also said with concern, "Indeed, Great King. Public sentiment is surging, and the hearts of the people are leaning in one direction. Even within our Human Race, the vast majority have begun to hope that the Great King can disclose the method for entering the Return Ruins."

Upon hearing this, the assembled officials all looked at Yin Qi in silence.

In reality, they naturally hoped that Yin Qi would disclose the method for entering the Return Ruins.

Of course, if Yin Qi did not speak, they would have no complaints, nor would they dare to harbor any resentment.

But the matter of public opinion had to be handled as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if it continued to drag on, not to mention causing local unrest, losing some of the people's hearts was certain.

Yin Qi lowered his brows slightly, and after a long while, he sighed and said, "Since it is the desire of the people, then let it be disclosed. However, the vast majority will surely be disappointed, because not just anyone can enter the Return Ruins."

Upon hearing this, the assembled officials immediately pricked up their ears.

Yin Qi chuckled inwardly, and while maintaining a calm expression, he continued, "To enter the Return Ruins, one needs at least the cultivation of a Quasi-Saint. Below the level of a Quasi-Saint, one cannot even open the passage leading to the Return Ruins.

Of course, those below the level of a Quasi-Saint can also follow a Quasi-Saint inside.

But within the Return Ruins, the dangers are extraordinary.

If those below the level of a Great Luo enter, I fear it will be a nine-to-one chance of death; you had best not harbor such thoughts.

With my ability, helping you all achieve the status of Quasi-Saint is not without hope."

"Ah!"

The assembled officials exclaimed in shock.

It turned out that only those above the level of a Quasi-Saint could enter.

However, thinking about it carefully, it seemed only natural; after all, that was the Return Ruins, which could connect to the Heavens and Myriad Worlds within the Chaos.

Such a mysterious place was, of course, not somewhere just anyone could enter.

Regarding this, although they were somewhat disappointed, they became excited again upon hearing the latter part.

Because the Great King promised that he could help them achieve the status of Quasi-Saint in the future.

Since that was the case, why bother taking the risk?

The Great King could even cultivate ten Saints, so helping them achieve the status of Quasi-Saint was naturally not a big problem.

As for becoming a Saint.

They dared not have such delusions, because their own aptitude was plain to see.

If not for the Great King's cost-free cultivation, those among them who could achieve the status of Golden Immortal could be counted on one's fingers.

A Great Luo Golden Immortal was absolutely impossible.

………

After the Small Court Meeting.

The Great Shang Celestial Dynasty issued a public announcement, disclosing the method for entering the Return Ruins.

Boom!

Instantly, the entire Honghuang was in an uproar.

"Hahaha, it's disclosed, it's disclosed. This poor Daoist knew that as long as we worked together, even Di Qi could not ignore our demands!"

"How can this be! To enter the Return Ruins, one needs at least the cultivation of a Quasi-Saint!"

"So that's how it is. So that's how it is; to enter the Return Ruins, one must pass through the Time River. No wonder that after powerhouses above the level of Great Luo fall, they all eventually enter the Return Ruins."

"What the hell is this? It turns out only Quasi-Saints can enter. Then what was the point of us making such a fuss for so long?"

"How could it be meaningless? You can go and attach yourself to a Quasi-Saint. Aside from the Imperial Court and Buddhism, there are still some Quasi-Saints in the Honghuang who luckily escaped the Great Calamity."

"Attaching oneself to a Quasi-Saint is not as good as continuing to petition the Great King to release some quotas."

"You are truly insatiable. It was enough that you forced the Great King to disclose the method for entering the Return Ruins, and now you actually want the Great King to take you in? It is simply shameless to the extreme."

"The Imperial Court announcement already said that entering below the level of a Quasi-Saint is a nine-to-one chance of death. Do you all want to seek death?"

……

Arguments broke out on the network once again.

However, this time, the Immortal Spirits were directly controlling the situation, and they quickly suppressed those comments that attempted to continue pressuring Yin Qi.

Countless bloggers began to publicize the dangers of the Return Ruins, urging everyone not to court death.

Gradually, everyone began to calm down.

It seemed that the Return Ruins was truly not a place they should go.

But there were still some who would not give up.

Consequently, they went one after another to seek refuge with rogue Quasi-Saints, or joined Buddhism directly.

……

Primordial West.

"Hahaha!"

Jieyin Daoren and Zhunti Daoren looked at each other and laughed, celebrating their success.

For them, this was not only obtaining the method to enter the Return Ruins, but also the first victory against Yin Qi. So, you, Di Qi, also have flaws.

A long while later.

The laughter of the two gradually ceased.

Zhunti Daoren was still excited as he said, "Senior Brother, now that we know the method to enter the Return Ruins, should we hurry in and get there ahead of the Teacher and Di Qi?"

With a golden mountain right before his eyes, he simply did not want to delay for even a moment.

Jieyin Daoren thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "There is no rush for this matter. The Five Emperors have already been inside for tens of thousands of years; we need not be in such a hurry. It just so happens that we are rebuilding Buddhism, and we can use this point to take the opportunity to attract people to join the sect."

Zhunti Daoren's eyes brightened upon hearing this: "Senior Brother is brilliant."

……

Very quickly, Buddhism issued a public announcement.

It stated that the two Saints were preparing to enter the Return Ruins and had decided to take a portion of their disciples inside; anyone with affinity who joined Buddhism and passed the assessment could also obtain a spot.

Once the announcement was released, the Primordial World was in an uproar.

Do not miss a single word, read it all!

Countless cultivators rushed toward Western Spirit Mountain from all directions.

……

Seeing this, the few remaining Quasi-Saints in the Primordial World followed suit.

They had all already founded their own sects and also needed talent to join.

……

Chaos Beyond the Heavens.

Wuzu Heaven.

"So that is how it is. Entering the Return Ruins is indeed not easy."

A sharp light flashed in Houtu's beautiful eyes.

Since she now knew the method to enter the Return Ruins, she naturally had to go in and venture forth.

Thinking of this, she summoned several Great Witches, gave her instructions, then cast a spell to draw forth the Time River and plunged headlong into it.

……

Somewhere in the Primordial World.

Yang Mei put down his Mobile Phone and exclaimed with some wonder: "As expected of Di Qi; he can actually enter the Return Ruins without needing a resurrected person as a medium. He is far more brilliant than I am."

While admiring Yin Qi, he also felt grave in his heart.

In the struggle for the Great Dao, there are no friends.

In the Primordial World, he could sit down and discuss the Dao with Yin Qi.

But once they entered the Return Ruins, they would be competitors.

Because the Great Dao is also unique.

Facing such a powerful opponent, how could he not be grave?

"Go!"

With a wave of his hand, Yang Mei summoned the Time River and stepped into it in one stride.

As for Luo Hou.

Since he no longer had any use for the other party, there was naturally no need to continue paying him any mind.

……

Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun was also amazed by the entry method published by Yin Qi.

In fact, by borrowing the power of the Heavenly Dao, he had also performed Calculation and perfected a method to enter the Return Ruins, but compared to what Yin Qi published, his calculated method was quite inferior.

For instance, the entry method he calculated required one to be a Saint.

Yet the one Yin Qi published allowed even a Quasi-Saint to enter.

This was the gap.

He looked up, his gaze piercing through Zixiao Palace to look toward the new world in the depths of Chaos.

That new world was about to fully take shape.

Once he joined forces with Yin Qi to move that Great World into the Primordial World, he would be able to exit the state of merging with the Heavenly Dao and head to the Return Ruins to pursue the Great Dao.

After all, Fellow Daoist Yang Mei had already entered earlier.

In fact, before this, he had not discovered that Yang Mei had returned to the Primordial World.

Although he was the Heavenly Dao, Yang Mei's cultivation was not below his; if the other did not reveal himself, he naturally could not discover him.

But just a moment ago, when Yang Mei entered the Return Ruins and stirred the Time River, such a massive commotion could not possibly have been hidden from him.

He was also amazed in his heart.

He had relied on the power of the Heavenly Dao and bitter cultivation for millions of years to reach his current level of cultivation.

Yet Fellow Daoist Yang Mei had been through bitter cultivation indeed. (End of this chapter)
