Chapter 858: Primordial Minor Dao

Yin Qi abolished the enfeoffment system, and the Royal Family was in an uproar.

One by one, the elders of the Royal Family submitted memorials, requesting Yin Qi to retract his order; at the same time, they colluded with Royal Family officials in the Imperial Court, wanting to force Yin Qi to compromise.

Bi Gan, Jizi, and others were annoyed beyond measure and simply closed their doors to visitors.

They were all high-ranking officials of the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty and knew very well that once Yin Qi made a decision, it was not something they could change by joining forces.

Moreover, given Yin Qi's prestige, no one could force him to compromise.

This group of people jumped about, looking imposing, but they were destined to be disappointed, or even purged.

Sure enough.

Three days later, Yin Qi issued an imperial decree.

All Royal Family officials who participated in the collusion were dismissed on the spot, and together with those Royal Family elders and the restless ones, they were all sent to the Yin Clan Ancestral Land.

The Yin Clan Ancestral Land was a small world belonging to the Yin clan.

Once inside, it would be difficult to come out.

Following the issuance of the decree, the Imperial Guard began making arrests throughout the city; in half a day, they loaded everyone onto a warship, and under the horrified gazes of countless people, it soared into the high sky and vanished into the horizon.

This time, everyone once again felt Yin Qi's iron-fisted approach.

Although Di Qi was benevolent, he also possessed ruthlessness.

"Tsk tsk, I don't know what those Royal Family members were thinking. The Human Emperor bestows massive amounts of cultivation resources upon them every year, yet they were still greedy and wanted fiefs; now they've ended up with nothing."

"Although the Human Emperor is benevolent, he never lacks hard-line methods. Among the royal elders sent away this time, there were several imperial uncles and grand-uncles who held extremely high prestige and pivotal status within the Royal Family."

"The most miserable are those Royal Family officials; they used to be able to collect double salaries as both officials and Royal Family members, but now it's all gone."

Upon learning of this, Bi Gan, Jizi, and the others could only sigh.

They sighed that these people could not see the grand trend of the world at all, nor could they see the Great King's grand ambitions.

With a large number of Royal Family members forcibly sent away, Zhaoge returned to calm, and the work of the Imperial Court in all aspects proceeded in an orderly manner, including the mopping up of the remnants of the escaped dukes.

As for the captured dukes and their subordinates, Yin Qi sent them all to build roads.

Golden Turtle Island.

Biyou Palace.

This day, Tongtian Jiaozhu was browsing the Primordial Mall.

Although he was a Saint, he also had things he needed.

For instance, when he refined Array Formations, he certainly needed various materials;

Occasionally he would also practice Alchemy or Artifact Refining, which likewise could not lack materials.

In the past, whenever he needed materials, he basically had to go find them himself.

Although with a Saint's methods, he could easily find any resources he needed, it ultimately required him to search for them himself, which was time-consuming and laborious.

It was nothing like how convenient it was now, where he could buy any material he wanted with a flick of his finger.

As for Immortal Crystals.

The thing a Saint lacked the least was Immortal Crystals.

"This Primordial Mall is truly convenient."

"I wonder who the person behind this new version of the Mobile Phone is; such Artifact Refining methods—if I didn't know that Yang Shen couldn't be a disciple of Yuanshi, I would have thought it was Yuanshi."

Tongtian Jiaozhu had praised it more than once, and had also secretly speculated and even performed Calculations more than once.

But the result was that he could calculate nothing.

If one spoke of Artifact Refining methods, apart from Hongjun Daozu, perhaps only Yuanshi was the most likely candidate.

Now that Yuanshi was ruled out first, could it be the Dao Ancestor?

Tongtian Jiaozhu shook his head secretly.

"Sect Master, disciple Wuyun requests an audience."

At this moment.

A voice came from outside the hall. Tongtian Jiaozhu put down his Mobile Phone, looked up, and said toward the outside: "Come in."

Soon, a middle-aged man with a long beard and a dark face, wearing black robes and a silk belt around his waist, walked in.

This person was none other than Wuyun.

Wuyun, the head of the Seven Attendant Immortals, a Peak Golden Immortal, holding the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Hunyuan Hammer; in the original work, he even defeated Guangchengzi, which showed the strength of his combat power.

Being able to become the head of the Seven Attendant Immortals was by no means an empty reputation.

He bowed and said: "Greetings, Sect Master."

Tongtian Jiaozhu nodded indifferently and said: "No need for formalities, what is it?"

Wuyun replied: "Disciple has two matters to report. The first matter is that, invited by Shen Gongbao, Senior Sister Guiling has taken Han Zhixian, Caiyun Xianzi, and Huoling to Jiepai Pass to assist."

Senior Sister Guiling is Guiling Shengmu, the fourth inner-sect disciple of Tongtian, with a cultivation level of Great Luo Early Stage.

She has a straightforward and impulsive temperament.

Please... collect... 6... 9... book...!

This time, she simply couldn't stand the instigation and incitement of Shen Gongbao, and took a few younger sisters to go to Great Shang to assist.

Han Zhixian, Caiyun Xianzi, and Huoling Shengmu all have cultivation levels of Golden Immortal Late Stage and likewise have bold and straightforward personalities; among them, Caiyun Xianzi is even more daring.

In the original work, she actually dared to boldly ambush Yuanshi Tianzun.

Tongtian Jiaozhu just nodded.

After so many events, he had already seen clearly that Yuanshi Tianzun was determined to make things difficult for him.

Since that was the case, he naturally would not shrink back and stop his disciples from going out into the world.

Although Wuyun was bowing, his eyes were secretly observing the expression of Tongtian Jiaozhu; seeing that Tongtian Jiaozhu's expression was indifferent and he showed no reaction, he also felt a sense of relief in his heart.

Thus, he continued, "The second matter is that this disciple scrolled across a current affairs commentary. This disciple feels that what the other party said makes a lot of sense, and therefore I wanted to let the Sect Master see it as well."

"Oh!"

Tongtian Jiaozhu raised his eyebrows and said, "Share it with this poor Daoist."

"Yes, Sect Master."

Wuyun took out his Mobile Phone and operated it repeatedly, then looked up and said, "Sect Master, it is ready."

Tongtian Jiaozhu nodded, took out his Mobile Phone, and clicked on the Short Video shared by Wuyun; the blogger was a person named 'Honghuang Xiaodao', who was analyzing the Fengshen War.

According to what 'Honghuang Xiaodao' said, the protagonists of the Fengshen Jie were the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect.

Comparing strength alone, the Chan Sect was far inferior to the Jie Sect.

Just from the start of the Fengshen War, one could see that Yuanshi Tianzun was very proactive, single-mindedly wanting to defeat Tongtian Jiaozhu, and also wanting to make the Chan Sect the number one sect in Honghuang.

Honghuang is an Immortal Ascension World, a world that gathers infinite great power into one body.

No matter how large the gap in strength between the two sects, the final victory or defeat would still fall upon Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu, and Tongtian Jiaozhu possessed the Immortal Execution Sword formation, which could not be broken without four Saints.

In other words, Yuanshi Tianzun was no match for Tongtian Jiaozhu.

If Yuanshi Tianzun wanted to win, he could only defeat Tongtian Jiaozhu and obtain the final victory by gathering the power of four Saints.

There are eight Saints in Honghuang; setting aside the Dao Ancestor and Houtu, who cannot leave the Underworld, there are also Laozi, the Western Two Sages, and Nuwa; among them, Nuwa does not like to fight, so Yuanshi Tianzun's only targets for solicitation were Laozi and the Western Two Sages.

Judging from the situation of the Three Pure Ones gathering at Sishui Pass earlier, Laozi was definitely determined to help Yuanshi Tianzun.

Therefore, Yuanshi Tianzun only needed to win over the Western Two Sages.

At the end of the Short Video, Honghuang Xiaodao even predicted with certainty: "The Western Two Sages changing the Western Sect to Buddhism has an intent that is already clear; therefore, as long as the spread of the Dao is used as an inducement, it will be very easy for the Yuanshi Saint to achieve his goal.

Once the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect have their decisive battle in the future, with the four Saints joining forces, the Tongtian Saint will surely be defeated.

Sigh. It is just a pity.

It is a pity that the Tongtian Saint has always been mindful of the bonds of the Three Pure Ones, acting with his hands and feet tied, and coupled with his straightforward personality, he is not good at scheming; I fear this Fengshen Jie will end with the tragic defeat of the Jie Sect.

Of course, the Tongtian Saint is not without a chance.

His only chance of winning is to win over the Nuwa Saint; the Nuwa Saint is the Demon Emperor of the Demon Race, and most of the Jie Sect are also of the Demon Race, so the two have a natural alliance relationship.

However, as for what the result will actually be, it remains to be seen how the Tongtian Saint will respond." (End of chapter)
