Chapter 878: Changxi? Chang'e?

"Hahaha!"

Yin Qi could not help but laugh out loud.

Originally, he would have needed at least several decades, or even several centuries of accumulation, to perform Corpse Severing.

But now, he could break through in at most a year or two.

To avoid being influenced by the memories of Donghuang Taiyi, Yin Qi sealed away all memories except for the cultivation experience related to Corpse Severing, which he could consult later if he wished.

Originally, Yin Qi had also been very curious about Hongjun's preaching.

If he had merged those memories, wouldn't it have been equivalent to having gone to Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao?

But it turned out that Donghuang Taiyi's memories regarding this part were completely blank, as if they had been erased by someone out of thin air.

It was also possible that the words of the Great Dao from Hongjun could not be committed to memory.

At the time, if one understood it, one understood it; if one did not, one could not remember anything.

Yin Qi felt a bit regretful.

With the remnant soul of Donghuang Taiyi no longer causing trouble, the Eastern Emperor Bell was very quiet, and Yin Qi's magic power surged in frantically, soon completing the preliminary refinement.

"From this day forward, you are the Human Emperor Bell."

Yin Qi gently stroked the body of the bell, as if he were stroking the face of a peerless Beauty.

Hum hum!

The Eastern Emperor Bell vibrated slightly, responding to Yin Qi.

Yin Qi could not help but laugh happily again, and he took the Human Emperor Bell into his body.

This was not the place to refine the Human Emperor Bell.

Refining an Innate Spiritual Treasure required a long time.

If Yin Qi were to refine it, he would go to the Time Array within his Inner Heaven and Earth.

However, since the various Saints were currently in a great battle, he naturally had no heart to go into seclusion to refine the Eastern Emperor Bell.

Suddenly, Yin Qi's heart stirred, and a very crazy idea emerged in his mind: "When Pangu opened Heaven, the Opening Heaven Axe split into three, which are the Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner, and the Chaos Bell.

Now that the Chaos Bell and the Taiji Diagram are in my hands, if I can also collect the Pangu Banner and use these three Innate Supreme Treasures to entrust my Three Corpses, would I be able to achieve the unification of the Three Corpses and become a Saint?"

When the Hongjun Daozu preached in Zixiao Palace, he once said there were three methods to Proving Dao to Become a Saint:

The first was Proving the Dao through Strength, which was the path Pangu took.

The second was Corpse Severing, and then merging the Three Corpses into the original body to Proving Dao to Become a Saint.

The third was Proving Dao through Merit.

According to the memories of Donghuang Taiyi, many Quasi-Saints in Honghuang, including the original Hongjun Daozu, did not become Saints by merging the Three Corpses, but rather used Hongmeng Purple Qi as a medium and relied on merit to Proving Dao through Merit.

The Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi of the past, and the current Minghe, Zhenyuanzi, Kunpeng, and others, were all at the Quasi-Saint Peak and had long since performed Corpse Severing, yet they were never able to merge the Three Corpses to Proving Dao.

Yin Qi guessed whether there was a problem with the Innate Spiritual Treasures they used.

For example, Donghuang Taiyi used the Eastern Emperor Bell, the Heavenly Emperor Sword, and the Slaying Immortal Gourd to entrust his Three Corpses.

The former was an Innate Supreme Treasure, and the latter two were Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures; the equipment could not be called anything but luxurious.

But these three Innate Spiritual Treasures had different attributes from one another.

It was precisely because the attributes were different that they could not be merged into one, unlike the Chaos Bell, the Taiji Diagram, and the Pangu Banner, which were one entity; combined, they were the Chaos Spirit Treasure, the Opening Heaven Axe.

Since the three were originally one, could the Three Corpses entrusted upon them also be merged?

Yin Qi felt that there was indeed such a possibility.

However, even if he still could not merge the Three Corpses, by using the three Innate Supreme Treasures to entrust the Three Corpses, he would still become the strongest Quasi-Saint in history, and he might even have the combat power to challenge the various Saints.

"The Pangu Banner."

A sharp light flickered in Yin Qi's eyes.

To plot for the Pangu Banner, he had to take action as soon as possible.

Only during the special period of the Investiture of the Gods would Yuanshi Tianzun easily bestow the Pangu Banner upon his disciples to use. After the Investiture of the Gods, when the various Saints were driven out of Honghuang by the Dao Ancestor, it would not be easy for him to plot for the Pangu Banner.

After putting away the Eastern Emperor Bell, Yin Qi did not rush to leave.

He toured the Sun God Palace and took away everything of value inside, mainly the various products on the Sun Star, which were the early accumulations of Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi.

These accumulations were dozens of times more than what Yin Qi had harvested previously.

According to the statistics of the Immortal Spirit, the harvest from the Sun Star this time was enough to produce two Daluo-level Warships, fifteen Golden Immortal-level Warships, and thousands of Mysterious Immortal Class Warships.

From this, one could see how rich these accumulations were. But compared to the treasury of the Monster Race Heavenly Court, these accumulations were nothing; otherwise, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi would not have been too lazy to take these things and left them here all along.

Before leaving, Yin Qi spent most of the day setting up a peerless Array Formation outside the Sun God Palace.

Unless one was a Quasi-Saint, it would be impossible to break the array.

With Lu Ya's cultivation speed, it would take at least hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years to reach the Quasi-Saint stage, and in such a long time, he might have already Proving Dao to Become a Saint himself.

………

Soon, Yin Qi returned to the surface of the Sun Star.

According to the information shared by his Clone, the various Saints had not yet decided the outcome; the four Immortal Execution Swords were only vibrating more and more violently, shredding most of the firmament and causing the Chaos ocean to churn.

Some Chaos even broke through the blockade of the sword Qi and fell to the ground.

This falling Chaos would assimilate large areas, but would then be decomposed by the Desolate Power, evolving into famous mountains and rivers of the Dongtian Fudi level, or even forming Mijing.

For the Yin Shang, it was hard to say whether this was a disaster or a blessing.

Because some Chaos fell around cities and Village areas, hundreds of thousands of commoners could not escape in time and were assimilated into Chaos.

Please... you.... bookmark_(!)

The key was that the Imperial Court had no way to relocate the commoners.

Because the Immortal Execution Sword Array was set up hundreds of thousands of miles above the firmament, and the splashing Chaos covered a range of millions of miles, there was no way to avoid it; they could only leave it to fate.

"Since I'm here, why not go take a look at the Lunar Star."

Just as he was preparing to return, Yin Qi suddenly thought of something else.

He turned his head to look into the depths of the distant Starry Sky, toward the place where the Lunar Star was located.

What he was thinking of, naturally, was the Laurel Tree.

Although the Lunar Star had an owner, perhaps he could trade for a Laurel Branch from the Lunar Star Lord.

Originally, there were two Lunar Star Lords.

Just as the Sun Star had also birthed Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi.

The two Lunar Star Lords were Xihe and Changxi, respectively.

Among them, Xihe married Di Jun, gave birth to ten Golden Crows, and later fell during the Witch-Demon War.

"Changxi!"

Yin Qi was suspicious.

Was the Changxi of the past the same as the legendary Chang'e of later times?

As the master of the Lunar Star, it was unlikely that Changxi would allow Chang'e, a mere female immortal, to occupy the Lunar Star.

Within this, there were likely some stories hidden.

However, Donghuang Taiyi's memories ended at the Witch-Demon War, and there were very few people in Honghuang who knew about the Lunar Star Lords; even Yin Qi only knew about such a veteran Quasi-Saint up there through the memories of Donghuang Taiyi.

"Let's go, try our luck!"

Yin Qi thought, and headed toward the Lunar Star.

If he could trade for a Laurel Branch, that would naturally be best.

Even if the Lunar Star Lord was difficult to deal with, with the Immortal Court ship, he would have no problem retreating calmly.

……

The Lunar Star was vast, radiating the most yin and most cold Lunar Qi.

Just after stepping out from the void, Yin Qi could not help but shiver; he actually felt a bone-chilling cold, and at the same time, his magic power felt as if it were about to be frozen.

As an existence of equal importance to the Sun Star, this place was also a forbidden zone for Honghuang cultivators.

Even a Golden Immortal could potentially be frozen to death if they came here.

Yin Qi looked down at the Lunar Star, feeling only a sense of desolation before his eyes.

On the hard, black earth, not a trace of green could be seen; apart from the Innate Spiritual Root, the Laurel Tree, this place was a forbidden zone for life.

In front of the Laurel Tree sat a moon-white immortal palace.

It was precisely Guanghan Palace.

"What petty thief dares to spy on my Guanghan Palace?"

Just as Yin Qi was about to open his mouth to greet her, a cold voice drifted out from within Guanghan Palace.

This voice was like ten-thousand-year black ice, cold and bone-piercing.
