Chapter 901

"Slay!"

Yin Qi shouted angrily in his heart.

Using his wisdom as a sword, he slashed the evil thoughts out of his consciousness.

These evil thoughts represented the most wicked side of his human nature—cruelty, greed, lust, ruthlessness, selfishness, and more; no words could adequately describe their evil.

Once slashed out, the evil thoughts transformed into a six-inch-tall pitch-black figure that crawled out from between his eyebrows.

It wore an evil, charming smile on its face that made one's hair stand on end.

Endless demonic energy roared, surging into the pitch-black figure like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea; the various demons seemed to realize that disaster was imminent, struggling and shrieking incessantly.

But in the end, they were all completely and helplessly absorbed into the body of the pitch-black figure.

The pitch-black figure licked its scarlet tongue as if satisfied, then dove into the Human Emperor Bell; shortly after, a young man dressed in black mysterious bird robes walked out from the bell.

He looked eighty percent similar to Yin Qi.

Only the smile on his face was somewhat evil and charming, and his eyes seemed to hold endless desire.

Quasi-Saint!

It is done!

Yin Qi was overjoyed.

After millions of years of bitter cultivation, he had finally achieved the Quasi-Saint realm.

From now on, he would no longer need to hide or conceal himself.

With a thought, the evil corpse turned into a streak of black light and shot into the center of Yin Qi's eyebrows.

Afterward, he continued to cultivate to consolidate his realm.

……

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, another five hundred years went by.

During these five hundred years, as Yin Qi's cultivation broke through, his inner world expanded again, from the initial one billion li in radius to five hundred billion li, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became even denser.

At the same time, he had completely consolidated his realm.

Having achieved the Quasi-Saint realm, Yin Qi's ability to set up formations had also seen a leap in improvement; he rearranged all the time formations, increasing the flow of time to two thousand times.

That is to say, one year outside is two thousand years within the time formation.

The acceleration of time meant he could cultivate various immortal herbs and spiritual roots faster, and also nurture large numbers of immortal cultivators more quickly.

……

Zichen Hall.

Yin Qi's true self merged silently into his clone, and immediately, a massive amount of information flooded in.

Over three thousand years had passed in the time formation, and more than three years had passed in the outside world.

It was now late autumn in the seventeenth year of Emperor Qi.

Before he could even finish processing this information, Yin Qi felt his primordial spirit become more active and light; it seemed that with a single thought, his primordial spirit could merge into the depths of the void and easily mobilize the power of heaven and earth for his own use.

This is the Quasi-Saint realm.

"Although I am at the early stage of the Quasi-Saint realm, I am afraid that even those at the middle stage are no match for me."

Yin Qi pondered.

Compared to other Quasi-Saints, he had comprehended the laws of space-time, yin-yang, and the five elements to the "coarse branch" level; even compared to veteran Quasi-Saints like Zhenyuanzi, he was likely not inferior.

But those veteran Quasi-Saints had not comprehended as many laws as he had.

If one added the Human Emperor Bell, he would have no fear even when facing great supernatural beings at the late stage of the Quasi-Saint realm.

Even if he couldn't defeat them, he would have enough power to protect himself.

According to the intelligence gathered by Immortal Tomb, figures like the Queen Mother of the West, the Golden Mother of Yaochi, the Azure Dragon, the Fire Phoenix, and the Jade Qilin were all at the late stage of the Quasi-Saint realm; these were all innate sacred beings born since the creation of the world.

Composing his mind, Yin Qi began to review the memories of the past three years.

For the Great Shang Heavenly Dynasty, although these three years did not see any territorial expansion, they were years of great development. After three years of hard work by the cabinet, the territory of 1.2 billion li had been fully brought under control, a sound local administrative system had been established, public schools and martial arts halls were everywhere, and Taiji rice had been popularized.

Currently, the Great Shang Heavenly Dynasty possessed nearly six thousand provinces.

The Military Affairs Department had also completed military reforms, establishing thirty-six major legions and perfecting local garrisons, causing the total number of troops to surge to 5.8 billion.

Yin Qi had also fulfilled his promise; all thirty-six legion commanders were Golden Immortals.

Thanks to the network covering the entire Primordial World and the chaos within it, Yin Qi had used the Primordial Mall to acquire an astronomical amount of cultivation resources, producing a total of fifty-six Seventh-Turn Golden Pills and eighty-five portions of twelfth-tier evolution fluid.

As well as thirty-two Golden Immortal-class warships and two Daluo-class warships.

Sixth-Turn Golden Pills, eleventh-tier evolution fluids, and Mysterious Immortal-class warships numbered in the tens of thousands.

As for those below the Mysterious Immortal level, they numbered in the millions.

The legion commanders, high-ranking military officers, heads and deputies of various provinces, and even the top brass of the cabinet, the twelve ministries, the Military Affairs Department, the Censorate, and the Martial Arts Hall had all entered the time formations in the inner world to cultivate.

Otherwise, even if Yin Qi bestowed enough cultivation resources, the official and military sectors would not have been able to digest them in such a short time.

Please... bookmark... this... book...!

Today's Great Shang Heavenly Dynasty possessed nearly two hundred Golden Immortals and over sixty thousand Mysterious Immortals.

If this were to be made public, the entire Primordial World would likely be in an uproar.

Although ninety-nine percent of these Mysterious Immortals and Golden Immortals relied on pills to improve, this did not mean their combat power was weak; in fact, Yin Qi had long realized this problem.

He had Immortal Tomb create a virtual reality game called "Primordial," set against the backdrop of the Primordial World, where everyone could enter with their consciousness to train.

Having gone through the slaughter of the Longhan Calamity, the Lich Calamity, and other great tribulations, they were all battle-hardened, their realms were stable, and they all practiced lethal techniques that were constantly optimized and perfected by Immortal Tomb.

It was just that without Yin Qi's orders, they were all lying dormant, and the outside world had no idea.

As for the "Primordial" game, it was an absolute secret.

Everyone had taken a Heavenly Dao oath before entering the game, and with Immortal Tomb monitoring the network, not a single bit of information had leaked; otherwise, even the Sages would be envious of this game.

A virtual reality game was equivalent to practicing the "Dharma of Proving the Dao in Dreams," something that even Sages would covet upon seeing it.

……

Although the Yin-Shang was quiet, Honghuang had fallen into complete chaos.

Three years ago, the Witch and Demon tribes mobilized their armies simultaneously, intending to return to rule Honghuang.

Fortunately, Haotian had made preparations in advance and intercepted them.

The Heavenly Court and the Witches and Demons engaged in several fierce battles in the Outer Starry Sky and Honghuang Ximo; Haotian and Yaochi Jinmu even personally arrived on the battlefield, and by relying on the magical Investiture of the Gods, they barely managed to hold back the two tribes of Witches and Demons.

Of course, the support of various factions was also indispensable in this.

The Heavenly Court was tied down by the two tribes of Witches and Demons and had no time to attend to the affairs of Honghuang.

Taking advantage of the chaotic fighting among the various teachings, countless demons and monsters stirred up trouble everywhere.

Wherever they passed, bones piled up and wails filled the fields.

The Four Teachings had dominated Honghuang for over a hundred thousand years, and no one knew how many people they had offended.

Led by great supernatural beings such as Minghe Laozu, Zhenyuanzi, and Kunpeng Laozu, countless factions joined in the siege against the Four Teachings, causing the Four Teachings to suffer heavy losses over these three years.

The Four Teachings even lost several Golden Immortals.

Especially the Jie Sect.

Because their reputation was so foul and the sins they had committed were the greatest, they were universally reviled.

The number of Golden Immortals they lost in these three years almost caught up to their losses during the Fengshen War, making Tongtian Jiaozhu fly into a rage, almost to the point of taking action personally.

Although the Four Teachings had lost quite a few Golden Immortals, the number of Golden Immortals within their sects was rising in a straight line.

With the abilities of the Sages, cultivating Golden Immortals in small batches was not a problem.

The reason they had not cultivated them before was simply because there was no need, and it saved resources, as the potential of Golden Immortals cultivated through special means was almost entirely exhausted.

But now that the Four Teachings were under siege by various factions, and the Good Corpse of the Sages could not take action personally to avoid escalating the conflict, they had no choice but to begin cultivating Golden Immortals in large numbers.
