Chapter 749: The Chen Family Obtains Treasures

As for incorporating the Battle Saint Realm into the Imperial Court's rule, that is not very realistic.

The Battle Saint Realm has many Heavenly Tier powerhouses.

In the original work, the current kings of the Battle Saint Realm are evenly matched with the seven Taigu kings like Chu Xiangyu.

If he were to invade the Fifth Realm, he would likely become a common enemy to both sides.

Although he possesses the combat power of the early Against Heaven Realm while wearing the Human Emperor Armor, it would likely take decades, or even hundreds of years, to completely conquer the Fifth Realm.

But the Great Destruction is approaching, and he does not have that time or energy.

……

Three days later.

Yin Qi finally refined the stone gate, then moved it out of the Du Family Profound Realm and placed it near the Free City, after which he spent another month setting up layers of Array Formations centered around the stone gate.

With his current attainments in Array Formations, unless it is someone in the Against Heaven Realm, even Chu Xiangyu would not be able to break out if he came.

The purpose of doing this, of course, is to guard against an invasion by powerhouses from the Fifth Realm.

Next, he intends to travel through the Fifth Realm and also go to the Sixth Realm to learn the cultivation systems of these two realms and absorb the essence of their civilizations; this might take several years.

Otherwise, when the Great Destruction descends, the civilizations of the six realms of the Shenmu World will all be destroyed in an instant.

However, Yin Qi still feels that a single Array Formation is not quite secure; the Tianren Liangjie still needs Heavenly Tier powerhouses to hold the fort.

Thus, he thought of the Fourth Ancestor and Fifth Ancestor, as well as the Ghost in the Fengdu Mountain Range, and the Golden Chrysalis and Fazu who are still in a stalemate in the Xifang Tianjie; these are five Heavenly Tier powerhouses.

The Fourth Ancestor and Fifth Ancestor cannot be subdued, but an agreement can be reached with them.

As for the Golden Chrysalis, Fazu, and the Ghost, they can all be subdued, perhaps by using both kindness and force, or by direct control.

……

Heavenly Realm.

Chen Family Moon.

Regarding Yin Qi's arrival, the entire Chen Family dared not be negligent and welcomed him warmly.

Chen Family Main Hall.

The Fourth Ancestor and other ancestors of the Chen Family were all present.

Yin Qi did not beat around the bush and stated his purpose directly: "Fourth Ancestor, Fifth Ancestor, I wonder if you two seniors wish to restore your cultivation?"

Joy flashed in the eyes of the Fourth Ancestor and Fifth Ancestor, and they hurriedly asked: "You have a way?"

"Of course."

Yin Qi nodded and said: "Coincidentally, I am also proficient in the Time Law."

The pupils of the Fourth Ancestor and the others constricted.

This is the Time Law; in the Shenmu World, apart from the Space-Time God, those who master the Time Law are basically all powerhouses of the Against Heaven Realm.

The Fourth Ancestor took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "What do we need to pay?"

Yin Qi smiled slightly: "I want to enter the Chen Family treasury to choose ten treasures at will, and you must become retainers of the Imperial Court, and must unconditionally take action for the Imperial Court three times."

The Fifth Ancestor stood on a stool with his small arms retracted, shaking his head repeatedly: "Ten treasures is too many. At most, I can let you pick two; becoming Imperial Court retainers is no problem, but we can only unconditionally take action for the Imperial Court once."

Yin Qi sipped some immortal tea and smiled faintly: "Two seniors, the great calamity is coming, and no one knows what will happen next. Your Chen Family has a large estate, but it won't do if there is no Heavenly Tier powerhouse to hold the fort."

Both the Fourth Ancestor and Fifth Ancestor's expressions sank.

Although the Chen Family has some foundations, if a Heavenly Tier powerhouse really invades, or if some major catastrophe is encountered, their Chen Family's foundations may not necessarily be able to protect the entire Chen Family.

Thinking of this, the Fourth Ancestor said in a deep voice: "Four treasures, two unconditional actions."

Yin Qi shook his head: "Eight treasures, three unconditional actions."

……

After some intense bargaining, both sides finally reached an agreement: Yin Qi would help the Fourth Ancestor and Fifth Ancestor restore their cultivation, and the reward would be allowing Yin Qi to choose six treasures from the treasury, while also unconditionally taking action for the Imperial Court three times in the future.

Yin Qi smiled with satisfaction and said: "Please, two seniors, stand in the middle of the hall."

"Good!"

The Fourth Ancestor and Fifth Ancestor jumped down from the stool and stood in the middle of the hall.

Yin Qi also stood up and stepped forward, casting the Time Law and pointing at the two: "Time Reversal."

Instantly, the time around the Fourth Ancestor and Fifth Ancestor began to flow backward. As time reversed, their bodies grew rapidly, and within a moment, they had returned to their original appearance, while also recovering their cultivation from their prime.

"Hahaha!"

The Fourth Ancestor and Fifth Ancestor both laughed heartily.

The other ancestors were also full of joy and stepped forward one after another to congratulate them: "Congratulations to the ancestors."

……

One hour later.

Under the warm send-off of the Chen family, Yin Qi left the Chen Family Moon, and his Inner Heaven and Earth now contained six peerless divine objects.

It must be said that as a family even older than the Dugu Family, the Chen Family's foundations are truly profound.

The six peerless divine objects are all rare things seen once in ten thousand years, including the Samsara Flower, Heavenly Heart Fragment, Enlightenment Platform, Yuanshi Heavenly Crystal, Chaos Purple Qi, and World Stone.

There is no need to say much about the Heavenly Heart Fragment; Yin Qi's current cultivation owes much to it.

It is just that compared to the one from the Dugu Family, the Chen Family's is nearly half the size.

Please... you... bookmark 6... 9... book....!

The Samsara Flower can only be born after the Great Destruction, living by feeding on the resentment of all living beings; after swallowing it, one can enter 'Samsara Reincarnation' and experience the mortal world.

The Enlightenment Platform is said to be a strange object refined by Chen Zu.

Cultivating on it yields twice the result with half the effort, and there is even a chance to enter a state of enlightenment.

The Yuanshi Heavenly Crystal only existed at the Opening of Heaven, containing the most primitive aura of the Heavenly Dao; it can be used for Artifact Refining, Alchemy, or even directly refined and absorbed.

Chaos Purple Qi is a holy object that only exists in Chaos and can be used to condense peerless divine abilities.

The World Stone is formed from the World Origin after the destruction of a Great World; it can be used to strengthen and expand a cultivator's Inner World.

Yin Qi was in a great mood; this trip was well worth it.

……

Xifang Tianjie.

God Domain Forbidden Land.

This was a beautiful Flower Valley, vast in area, with large mountains on all sides enclosing a valley spanning over ten miles in Fang Yuan. Inside, hundreds of flowers were in full bloom, a riot of purple and red; colorful flowers covered the ground, and the fragrance of flowers came in waves, refreshing the heart and spirit.

Yin Qi appeared in the void, quickly alarming the deities guarding this place.

"Who goes there?"

The deities guarding here shouted loudly.

But soon, their expressions changed drastically, their bodies trembling, and they hurriedly bowed, saying: "Greetings, Human Emperor!"

This was the Human Emperor!

They called themselves deities, but in reality, they only had Seventh Tier cultivation.

"Hmm."

Yin Qi gave a faint grunt of acknowledgment and ignored them.

A hazy Qing mist covered his eyes, and he soon saw that a thousand zhang underground, there was a huge pale blue water curtain containing a massive heart, and the heart was hollow, with a vast void inside.

Suspended in the center of the void was a body that looked much like a dried corpse.

It was a shriveled old man.

His figure was short and thin, his gray hair was sparse, and the skin on his face was incredibly wrinkled.

His eyes were tightly closed, his nose bridge was high, and he wore a wisp of a goatee, quietly curled up in the void; the clothes on his body were of a style so ancient that their era was unknown, sloppy and very unkempt.

Yin Qi knew that this was Jin Yong, one of the four Supreme Demon Ancestors of Kunlun.

After breaking through to the Heavenly Tier back then, Jin Yong was not satisfied with the status quo; he came to Xifang Tianjie to seek an opportunity for further progress, and by chance, he met Luo Kaier, the ancestral god of mental magic who had been severely injured in the Taigu war.

But at that time, Luo Kaier had already been smashed to pieces, and his spiritual consciousness was residing in a reptile.

Fazu plotted to take Jin Yong's body, so he feigned friendship with Jin Yong, even guiding Jin Yong's cultivation and telling him the method of transformation.

Jin Yong trusted Fazu and had no defenses.

Consequently, at the critical moment of transformation, he was ambushed by Fazu and severely wounded by Fazu's mental magic.

But Jin Yong, having cultivated from a weak insect to the Heavenly Tier, was no easy opponent; at the moment of his death, he launched a counterattack, using his own physical body to trap Luo Kaier, and the huge insect chrysalis he shed became the God Domain Forbidden Land, Flower Valley.
