Chapter 269: Discussing Ideals for the First Time

Yujing City.

Earl Longxiang's Mansion.

"This is a King of Artifacts?!"

Yun Xiangxiang looked at the Heavenly Palace floating in the main hall; although it was only three feet square, it exuded an aura that made one's heart palpitate.

Her beautiful eyes widened, with shock, and also disbelief.

Returning from the Nine Abysses Divine Domain, the Heavenly Palace was no longer a secret, so Yin Qi naturally did not need to hide it.

Yun Xiangxiang did not say, and Princess Linglong was also seeing the Heavenly Palace for the first time.

She had long since ceased to be a novice and naturally knew of the legendary King of Artifacts, and was also shocked beyond measure.

Yin Qi smiled slightly, "Correct, this Heavenly Palace is a King of Artifacts. Returning from the Nine Abysses Divine Domain this time, the gains are not small; come, I will take you all in to see."

Saying this, he waved his hand and brought the women to the Heavenly Palace's small world.

In the small world, the Six Paths Brahma Wheel, the Dark Star, and the Ancient Rashomon were floating quietly, and below them were thoughts numbering in the millions, as well as piles upon piles of divine artifacts, magic tools, books, spiritual medicines, and various treasures.

Beside the huge thunder pool, there were large fields of Dragon Tooth Rice.

The Dragon Tooth Rice hung down, resembling countless sharp swords.

"Hiss hiss, that is the Six Paths Brahma Wheel, the Dark Star, and the Ancient Rashomon, the Three Realms Yuan Qi Cannon, the Tongtian Cultivation Great Golden Pagoda, the Spring and Autumn Brush, the Brahma Inkstone, the Phoenix Sword..."

Yun Xiangxiang's pupils constricted, looking at the divine artifacts one by one, the more she said, the more shocked she became.

Yin Qi smiled slightly, "Miss Yun has good discernment."

Ao Luan exclaimed looking at a large pile of thoughts: "Yin Qi, are those all thoughts of the seventh thunder tribulation? How many Creators did you kill in the Nine Abysses Divine Domain this time?"

Hearing Ao Luan's exclamation, the women looked over one after another.

Only to see that among the piles of thoughts, there were hundreds of thousands that were over a *zhang* in radius, exuding terrifying auras.

Yin Qi said, "I killed quite a few, including the Dark Emperor Daoist of the eighth thunder tribulation, and the Zhou Grand Ancestor, the Origin God, the Pope, and Yuwen Mu of the seventh thunder tribulation. The Essence Temple and its subordinate countries, the Xuantian Pavilion, the Yunmeng Empire, and the Fan, Wang, Sun, and Wu families—basically all experts above the Martial Saint and Ghost Immortal level were wiped out by me."

"Hiss hiss!"

Hearing this, the women gasped and asked hurriedly, "What exactly happened during this trip to the Nine Abysses Divine Domain?"

The Essence Temple and the Xuantian Pavilion were sacred grounds, and the Fan, Wang, Sun, and Wu families were the strongest among the families of the hundred schools of thought, with foundations not inferior to any sacred ground, yet they were all wiped out by Yin Qi—how could they not be shocked?

"The matter begins with Hong Xuanji's visit..."

Next, Yin Qi briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter, as well as the events in the Nine Abysses Divine Domain.

Chan Yinsha, Ao Luan, Yao Yueting, and Yun Xiangxiang were shocked beyond measure.

Various parties calculating, joining forces, and in the end, Yin Qi was still one step ahead, deceiving everyone, and then the Longevity Secret Realm—hearing the description of Kong, they were all shocked.

There was actually such a giant demon in the world, capable of contending with the Boat of Creation!

When they heard that Yin Qi repelled the Boat of Creation and the Eternal Kingdom and scared away Ancestor God Mountain, they were all excited.

Various parties competed, and Yin Qi won alone.

Compared to the excitement and admiration of Chan Yinsha and the four, Princess Linglong's expression was somewhat complicated.

No matter what, she was Emperor Qian's daughter.

Although she had long known that there was no family affection in the imperial family and that father and son killing each other was common, when she learned that Yin Qi and Emperor Qian were at life-and-death odds, she still found it somewhat unacceptable.

Yin Qi looked at Princess Linglong and sighed, "Linglong, although my plans are big, I am not unable to tolerate Emperor Qian's existence, but Emperor Qian cannot tolerate me. He and I are already at life-and-death odds. I will give you a choice: one is to

Princess Linglong's expression changed, and she hurriedly said, "Husband, I..."

Yin Qi waved his hand and said, "You do not need to explain. I can understand you, but I hope you can also understand me. You do not need to rush to make a choice; you can consider it slowly. But once a choice is made, there is no turning back."

Upon hearing this, Princess Linglong nodded solemnly.

Yun Xiangxiang smiled charmingly, her beautiful eyes darting, and said, "Yin Qi, you say your plans are vast; I wonder if you can tell us about them? With your current cultivation and foundation, I fear the mere Emperor of Tianzhou cannot satisfy you."

Ao Luan, Chan Yinsha, and Yao Yueting were also filled with curiosity, and Princess Linglong also leaned in to listen.

Yin Qi smiled slightly and said, "Since things have reached this point, I will not hide it from you. My goal is to establish a Heavenly Court. Not only the Great Thousand World but also the countless worlds beyond the heavens must all fall under the rule of the Heavenly Court.

For this, I have already laid out my plans long ago.

The high-level members currently remaining in the Jingyuan Temple, the Xuantian Pavilion, and the Zhengang Sect have all long since been subdued by me.

The same goes for Zhao Feier and her daughter of the Daluo Sect.

The Peach God Dao has announced its allegiance to me, and because of Yueting, the Yaochi Sect will naturally support me with all its strength.

Even the reconstruction of the Great Zen Temple was supported by me from behind the scenes."

"This..."

Ao Luan and the other women were horrified, their faces filled with disbelief.

Yin Qi's goal was truly too great. They had originally only thought he was recreating an ancient holy dynasty, but they had not expected him to be establishing a Heavenly Court, encompassing all the worlds beyond the heavens. This was to become the master of the entire universe.

The key was that Yin Qi had already quietly completed his layout in the Great Thousand World.

Among the major sacred grounds, except for the Supreme Dao, all others had submitted to Yin Qi.

Because of his title as the Sage of Characters, all the Confucian scholars and Confucian families in the world followed Yin Qi's lead. Coupled with the promotion of sword rice, Yin Qi's influence had already silently controlled the Great Thousand World.

Yun Xiangxiang felt her heart beating violently. She licked her dry lips and said, "Yin Qi, I admit you have the ability to unify the Great Thousand World.

But to also rule the worlds beyond the heavens—not to mention that there are countless powerhouses beyond the heavens—

just the distance between each world is vast. How will you achieve effective control?

You must know that even the ancient holy emperors could only rule the Great Thousand World."

Modes of transportation limited the territory one could rule.

Although a Yang God can easily travel between various worlds, others cannot.

Even a Creator cannot.

When the ancient masters traveled beyond the heavens, time was calculated in years.

If the territory is too large and the means of transportation cannot keep up, it is very likely that if a rebellion occurs somewhere, the central imperial court might not receive the news for many years.

And by then, everything would be too late.

Yin Qi smiled and said, "That is simple; just refine interstellar teleportation arrays. By then, traveling to worlds beyond the heavens might only take a few breaths of time. Hmm, one could also re-refine the Ancient Rashomon and refine it into an Artifact King."

One of the functions of the Ancient Rashomon is spatial teleportation.

Using oneself as the main body, one can differentiate into various sub-bodies; between the sub-bodies and the main body, one can reach them by passing through a gate.

Having harvested so many artifacts, refining another Artifact King is not a difficult task.

Moreover, compared to interstellar teleportation arrays, the Ancient Rashomon has more advantages because the Ancient Rashomon itself already possesses teleportation functions, whereas for interstellar teleportation arrays, he would need to expend fortune to deduce them.

If he can avoid consuming fortune, he will naturally want to save some.
