Chapter 929: Crazy Advance

Longji Gongzhu was shocked.

A Quasi-Saint Pill—such a thing was simply unheard of.

Even for the legendary Eight-Turn Golden Pill, the Primordial Continent had only ever heard the name; no one even knew if Laozi had ever successfully refined one.

Achieving the Great Luo realm involved too many facets; it was absolutely not something that could be solved by a single pill.

Not to mention the Quasi-Saint realm.

Although she could not believe it, she still instinctively trusted Yin Qi.

Yin Qi smiled slightly and said dotingly, "I achieved the Quasi-Saint realm long ago; that Chen Nan is, in reality, me. I have no use for this thing, so it is just right for you."

The Cultivation Crystal of a Quasi-Saint was too precious; he could not bear to give it to an outsider.

In reality, if he gave it to Zhang Shaokang or Yao Chen, they could maximize the utility of this Cultivation Crystal, acting on his behalf to campaign abroad and expand his territory.

But how many Quasi-Saints were there in the Primordial Continent?

With Longji Gongzhu's natural talent, the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm was basically her limit.

Longji Gongzhu said joyfully, "I knew it! That Chen Nan appeared too strangely, without leaving any traces. I guessed it was Yin Lang, and sure enough, I was right. Thank you, Yin Lang."

Regarding the origin of the Quasi-Saint status, she did not pursue the matter, knowing this was Yin Qi's own fortuitous encounter.

Yin Qi said, "There is no distinction between you and me. Next, you should focus on refining the Quasi-Saint Pill within your Inner Heaven and Earth. Come, let me take you to see the Plantation. I have already collected over five hundred types of Innate Spiritual Roots and more than twenty thousand types of Acquired Spiritual Roots. In a few years, once they all mature, you can eat the various Innate Spiritual Fruits like regular fruit."

When they arrived at the Plantation and saw the Innate Spiritual Roots filling her vision, Longji Gongzhu was also struck with shock.

One must know that the Heavenly Court only possessed three types.

…………

Time passed like a white horse galloping past a crevice; in the blink of an eye, a month had gone by.

During this month, the Primordial Continent remained chaotic.

But two matters were the most eye-catching:

First, the Chan Sect had fully contracted; their disciples scattered across the Primordial Continent were perhaps hiding their names or gathering toward Kunlun.

To this day, no one understood the reason for this.

Second was the terrifying speed of the Great Shang army's advance, which was almost like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.

They either surrendered upon seeing the army, or their nations were destroyed and their families ruined.

In just one short month, the thirty-six legions had madly pushed outward for one billion li.

This was equivalent to increasing the territory of Great Shang by nearly two times.

In reality, there were too many factions within this vast territory; they were not all within the scope of the Great Shang army's conquest, as only factions possessing cultivation at or above the Heavenly Immortal level would be targeted.

A mad advance of one billion li in one month—this speed looked terrifying, but on the scale of the Primordial Continent, if he wanted to unify the Honghuang Human Race, he would still need at least eighty thousand years.

……

Zichen Hall.

Small Court Meeting.

Shang Rong reported, "Great King, the army's advance is too fast. We simply cannot cultivate enough qualified officials in time. Therefore, this old subject dares to be bold and requests the Great King to issue an order to slow down the pace of conquest."

The territory had increased by nearly two times, which meant that twice the current number of officials was required.

Although the Imperial Court had been continuously expanding the scale of the Academy over these years.

But cultivating talent ultimately required time.

If effective management could not be achieved for the newly conquered territories, the situation would surely rot in the end.

Yin Qi thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "The army's speed cannot be slowed. As for the issue of officials, I have a way. You have all been to the Time Mijing; from now on, all prospective officials will enter the Time Mijing to study. First, they will learn theoretical knowledge, and then they will enter the 'Virtual Illusion' for training."

The Virtual Illusion was, in reality, a virtual reality game.

The flow of time in the Time Array was one to two thousand, meaning one day in the Primordial World was 5.5 years there.

5.5 years of theoretical study and practice was enough to cultivate a qualified basic official. If they were mid-to-high-level officials, one could fully extend their study time in the Time Array; in at most five days, one could cultivate a qualified official at the Province or Boundary level.

Five days in the Primordial World was over twenty-seven years in the Time Array.

Wen Zhong said hurriedly, "Great King, if that is the case, won't the matter of our Time Mijing be leaked?"

In the past, only a few of them in the high-level leadership could enter the Time Mijing.

But once officials were cultivated on a large scale, this secret would definitely be leaked, including the Virtual Illusion.

Yin Qi smiled faintly and said, "It does not matter. Our Great Shang is no longer the Great Shang of the past; it is not a place where just anyone can come and bully us."

Seeing that the Great King had said so, the others naturally had no objections.

………

After the Small Court Meeting, Yin Qi was handling state affairs when he suddenly heard Immortal Tomb report, "Master, it is detected that Great Luo Golden Immortals, and even Golden Immortals, from the Demon Race, the Wu Clan, and All Sects are all attacking the Heavens Demon World."

"Attacking the Heavens Demon World?"

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

Yin Qi frowned.

He naturally understood the origin of the Heavens Demon World.

Because of the influence of the remnant will of the Chaos Demon Gods, the cultivation of the living beings of the Primordial Continent would be greatly suppressed after entering, and they would even be targeted by the Heavenly Dao within it at every turn.

Coupled with the fact that the Demon Race was extremely unfriendly to the living beings of the Primordial Continent, basically no one entered the Demon World.

At most, they would travel there quietly; attacking was basically impossible.

It was thankless work.

Even if they could conquer it, they could not hold it for long.

But since the disciples of the Sages and the Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Wu and Demon races had all entered the Demon World to attack, with such tacit understanding, there must be a deeper reason. Could there be some great fortuitous encounter?

Yin Qi asked, "Has the reason been found?"

Immortal Tomb replied, "They did not communicate via Mobile Phone, so no relevant information has been obtained for the time being."

Yin Qi asked again: "How are the recent wars between the Heavenly Court and the Witch and Demon races, and how are the battles between All Sects and the various factions?"

Immortal Tomb replied: "The Witch and Demon races have already fully retreated, but they still maintain an offensive posture. As for All Sects and the major factions, the scale and intensity of their battles have also decreased significantly."

A flash of light flickered in Yin Qi's eyes.

If his guess was correct, perhaps there was some great opportunity in the Demon World.

The first person he thought of was to ask Nuwa.

But his identity as 'Chen Nan' was not yet sufficient to ask Nuwa this question, so he opened the Human Emperor Group.

Shennong and the Yellow Emperor might not know, but Fuxi certainly would.

Yin Qi: Heavenly Sovereign, this junior has something to ask for advice.

Fuxi: What is it?

Yin Qi: According to the intelligence I received, the disciples of the Saints, Great Luo Golden Immortals, and even Golden Immortals have all gone to attack the Heavens Demon World, as if they had agreed upon it beforehand. Is there something fishy about this?

Fuxi: Oh, that matter. Di Qi, you need to be vigilant about this. Back then, Pangu slew three thousand Chaos Demon Gods; some Chaos Demon Gods fell into Honghuang and evolved into Dongtian Fudi. Others formed the Heavens Demon World, attaching themselves to the Primordial World... They must all be desperate to take such a risk, wanting to refine the origin of the Demon Gods to improve their cultivation.

Yin Qi was shocked.

He had not expected that the Heavens Demon World still hid such an opportunity.

Chaos Demon Gods were all at the Saint level.

Even the remaining origin of a Demon God would be enough to allow a Golden Immortal to become a Great Luo, and a Great Luo to achieve Quasi-Saint.

If brought out, it is not impossible for a low-level Quasi-Saint to advance to the peak. (End of chapter)
