Chapter 750: Heavenly Tier Peak!

Yin Qi shifted his gaze and saw the little white worm busily gnawing on the pale blue water screen.

That was Fazu.

Perhaps sensing Yin Qi's gaze, Fazu stopped, looked around in confusion, and after discovering nothing unusual, continued gnawing.

Soon, a barely visible crack appeared on the pale blue water screen.

But this crack did not last long; the light on the pale blue screen flashed, and it returned to its original state.

Yin Qi reached his palm downward, and suddenly the entire valley shook; then, the withered physical body of the Golden Chrysalis and the little white worm Fazu were thrust out from a thousand zhang beneath the earth.

Boom!

A huge crater appeared in the valley, with mud flying everywhere.

"Who!"

"Who is it?"

The little white worm Fazu projected a thought of terror.

The Golden Chrysalis opened its eyes, but its gaze was turbid, nearly at the point of exhaustion.

Soon, they discovered Yin Qi.

A look of joy flashed in the Golden Chrysalis's eyes, while Fazu, the little white worm, was trembling.

Yin Qi's voice was filled with majesty: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Yin Qi, the current Emperor of the Tianren Liangjie. I already know of your affairs. Fazu, if you are willing to submit to me, I can help you recover; otherwise, you die."

"Senior Golden Chrysalis, I know Fenghuang Tiannv, so we can be considered our own people."

"I can also help you recover, but you must join the Imperial Court."

"I am willing!"

The Golden Chrysalis did not hesitate and agreed straight away.

He had already been in despair; now, not only was he alive, but he could return to his peak—joining the Imperial Court was a small price to pay.

Fazu, however, was hesitant and unwilling.

Just a little more, just a tiny bit more, and he could have devoured the Golden Chrysalis.

Seeing that Fazu was slow to answer, Yin Qi said indifferently: "Since you do not..."

"I agree, I agree."

Fazu was so scared he jumped, hurriedly agreeing.

It is better to live in disgrace than to die.

He had no dignity of a powerhouse, otherwise he would not have been involved in plotting against the Golden Chrysalis.

"Good!"

Yin Qi nodded, took out the Twelfth-Tier Evolution Fluid, and threw it to the Golden Chrysalis: "After you consume this, not only can you return to your peak, but you can even ascend to a higher level."

"Many thanks, Human Emperor."

The Golden Chrysalis took the pill bottle, pulled out the stopper, and poured it into his mouth.

Soon, his eyes lit up, and he sat cross-legged in the void; then, strands of brilliant Divine Light and a terrifying aura erupted from within his body.

Fazu was also envious, looking up at Yin Qi with a pitiful expression.

"Do not resist!"

Yin Qi ignored Fazu's gaze; he quickly formed seals with both hands, condensed a Yuanshi Spirit restriction, and struck it into Fazu.

He could not trust Fazu; he still had to control his Yuanshi Spirit.

Although Fazu was unwilling, he was the fish and the knife was the butcher, so he could only open his mind and let the restriction sink into his Yuanshi Spirit.

He had a feeling that with just one thought from Yin Qi, his soul would be scattered.

"Very good. This Yuanshi Heavenly Crystal is for you."

As Yin Qi spoke, he handed the Yuanshi Heavenly Crystal to Fazu.

Fazu was overjoyed, opened his mouth, and bit off a small piece from the fist-sized Yuanshi Heavenly Crystal.

He had a feeling that submitting to Yin Qi was actually not bad.

This was a Yuanshi Heavenly Crystal; even he had only heard of it and never seen it, and he had not expected Yin Qi to be able to produce it so casually.

After swallowing the Yuanshi Heavenly Crystal, Fazu, the little white worm, grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When he grew to the thickness of an arm, he swallowed the entire Yuanshi Heavenly Crystal in one gulp, then lay in the void to quietly refine it; strands of brilliant Divine Light erupted from within his body, holy and incomparable.

"Greetings, Human Emperor!"

Not long after, the various Main Gods of the West arrived one after another. They looked at the Golden Chrysalis and Fazu in the void with suspicion; they had received news that it seemed the Human Emperor had dug them out from deep within the earth.

They did not know who they were either.

The aura fluctuations currently radiating from them had already reached the God Emperor level.

"Hmm."

Yin Qi nodded indifferently and introduced them: "This is Fazu Luo Kaier, and this is the Kunlun Supreme Demon Ancestor, the Golden Chrysalis."

Hiss!

The Main Gods' eyes widened, and they all gasped in cold air.

Fazu Luo Kaier was a legendary figure, incomparably ancient, and could be mentioned in the same breath as the Ancestral God of Time and the Ancestral God of Space.

The Supreme Demon Ancestor, the Golden Chrysalis, was even more of a legend.

These two were both Heavenly Tier existences.

Please... you.... collect 6... 9... books....!

………

Ten days later.

"Hahaha!"

With a hearty laugh, the aura around Jin Yong suddenly retracted, making him look like a grandfather from next door, yet the intangible aura he exuded was like that of a Honghuang beast.

After consuming the Twelfth-Tier Evolution Fluid, he advanced further, breaking through to the Heavenly Tier Middle Stage.

The body of Fazu had already reached a hundred zhang, his entire form resembling rare golden jade, radiating a terrifying aura that surpassed even the momentum of Jin Yong, having reached the Heavenly Tier Late Stage.

As light flickered, Fazu returned to human form.

"Greetings, Human Emperor!"

He bowed respectfully toward Yin Qi, like a loyal and devoted servant.

………

After subduing Fazu and Jin Yong, Yin Qi traveled without pause to Fengdu Mountain, where he easily subdued the Heavenly Ghost.

This Heavenly Ghost was composed of countless military souls, each skull carrying a portion of its energy; when it was in its usual state of slumber and cultivation, the skulls were evenly distributed throughout this Fengdu Shanmai, and even the Demon Lord had not noticed it.

After subduing the Heavenly Ghost with a Yuanshi Spirit restriction, Yin Qi let it continue to sleep.

As for the second avatar of Qingtian sealed deep underground, he ignored it for the time being.

Although there was a portal to the Sixth Realm at the seal, he could go directly to the Sixth Realm by wearing the Human Emperor Armor, without needing to pass through here.

Now that there was still some time before the Great Destruction, it was not appropriate to overly provoke the side of the Heavenly Dao by killing Qingtian's avatar.

……

Three days later.

Yin Qi convened a Grand Court Meeting, where he announced that the Fourth Ancestor, Fifth Ancestor, Jin Yong, Fazu, and the Heavenly Ghost—five great Heavenly Tier powerhouses—had joined the Imperial Court, which caused an uproar among the officials.

Everyone already knew about the matters of Jin Yong and Fazu.

They could also understand the Fourth Ancestor and Fifth Ancestor recovering their cultivation.

But that Yin Qi could actually find a Heavenly Tier Heavenly Ghost shocked everyone, and they had no idea where he had found it.

With five Heavenly Tier experts presiding over the Imperial Court, not a single thought of resistance could arise within them.

Subsequently, Yin Qi announced the matter of the Fifth Realm, detailing the situation of the Fifth Realm, and stated that anyone from Tianren Liangjie could go to the Fifth Realm for training, but they would be responsible for their own life and death.

This matter caused a great stir not only in the court but also among the common people.

Tens of thousands of people applied to the Imperial Court to go to the Fifth Realm, including Chen Nan, because Tianren Liangjie was stable, and it was difficult for major mutual slaughters to occur as they had in the past, so it was better to go to the Fifth Realm to venture out.

Although Yin Qi had already said they would be responsible for their own life and death, he still sent Jin Yong and Fazu to preside over it, so as to avoid the high-level beings of the Fifth Realm hunting those from Tianren Liangjie.

……

Inner Heaven and Earth.

Yin Qi sat cross-legged with his eyes tightly closed, holding a Heavenly Heart Fragment between his palms.

As the Heavenly Heart Fragment was refined, his cultivation also advanced by leaps and bounds; first, his Divine Tomb Martial Dao reached the Heavenly Tier Peak Stage, and subsequently, his Prehistoric Immortal Dao also reached the Golden Immortal Peak.

Finally, the Eight-Nine Profound Art was also cultivated to the Fifth Turn Peak.

With all three systems cultivated to the Golden Immortal Peak or Heavenly Tier Peak Stage, there were actually still some Heavenly Heart Fragments left unrefined.

Yin Qi continued to refine them, but until the Heavenly Heart Fragments were completely refined, he did not feel any loosening of the bottleneck; it seemed that wanting to break through to Great Luo or the Against Heaven Realm was not an easy task. (End of chapter)
