Chapter 931: Hidden Dangers

"Master, Changxi has sent a message."

The Immortal Spirit suddenly reminded him.

Yin Qi picked up his Mobile Phone.

Changxi: Yin Emperor, the ten-year period has arrived. Have the Immortal Seeds been modified?

Yin Qi: They are modified. I was just about to contact you.

Changxi: Good, send them to me.

Yin Qi: One moment.

Soon, Yin Qi sent the modified Immortal Seeds to Changxi in the form of a 'Red Packet'.

Changxi: Thank you.

Yin Qi: You are too kind, Star Lord.

Changxi: Next, I need to modify three hundred more Immortal Seeds and fifty Acquired Spiritual Roots. How long will it take to complete?

Yin Qi: Three years, I suppose.

Changxi: So fast this time?

Yin Qi: It is mainly because I am more proficient now. However, after this time, I will no longer accept such tasks.

Changxi: Understood.

……

Zichen Hall.

Yin Qi put away the Immortal Seeds and Spirit Treasure sent by Changxi.

He rubbed his chin, his mind recalling Changxi's elegant and otherworldly appearance, wondering if he should also conquer her?

As the Human Emperor, and in the future the emperor of the Ten Thousand Races, it is only reasonable to have a few more Imperial Concubines.

If he could take all four great Beauties of Honghuang into his harem, he would truly reach the pinnacle of life, and all the Saints would be jealous.

Unlike Nuwa, Changxi has a cold temperament and is interested in very few things.

Even if she is interested, she rarely invests much emotion.

Coupled with the fact that she is not good with words and dislikes interacting with others, the difficulty of conquering her is incomparable to that of Nuwa.

Yin Qi instructed the Immortal Spirit to perform a big data analysis on Changxi's ten-year consumption records, discovering that what Changxi spent the most on was actually collecting various Immortal Seeds and Spiritual Roots.

These Immortal Seeds and Spiritual Roots were all flowers.

She seemed to only love flowers.

As long as there is something she loves, chasing a girl is just about catering to her preferences, isn't it?

In his Inner Heaven and Earth, the one thing he has no shortage of is flowers.

Entering his Inner World, Yin Qi picked an exceptionally beautiful immortal flower, snapped a bunch of photos, and after returning to the outside world, sent the photos to Changxi.

Soon, Changxi replied.

Changxi: What a beautiful flower. What is this flower, and where did you see it?

Yin Qi: This flower is called a Purple Star Flower. I happened to photograph it while traveling through Honghuang in the past. This flower is only a low-grade Immortal Seed, and since it was not yet mature, I did not pick it at the time.

Changxi: Can you tell me where you saw it?

Yin Qi: I was just passing by by chance, and I don't know the name of that mountain. How about this: I will go back and look for it in a few days to see if it is still there. If it is, I will pick it and send it to you, Star Lord.

Changxi: Thank you. I will not treat you unfairly.

Yin Qi: You are too kind, Star Lord. It is just an immortal flower.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Yin Qi found that he really couldn't continue the conversation, so he decisively stopped to avoid giving the impression of being clingy.

He would increase the number of ambiguous topics once they became more familiar later on.

In any case, he had plenty of time.

………

Over the course of six years, the disciples of the Chan Sect who could move back to the Kunlun Mountain Domain had basically all returned.

As for those who could not make it back in time, they all hid their names and identities on the spot.

It was only at this moment that the news of over four hundred Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect being slaughtered overnight finally spread.

Honghuang was suddenly in an uproar. "Heavens, what is going on? Slaughtering over four hundred Golden Immortals overnight—this is too terrifying!"

"Tsk tsk, what kind of deep hatred and resentment must this be to have played the Chan Sect into such a pit?"

"I said as much; with the pride of Yuanshi Tianzun, how could he possibly fully contract his orthodoxy? It turns out that his Golden Immortals were almost wiped out in one fell swoop, leaving him no choice."

"It is very obvious that this was premeditated. They investigated the locations of all the Golden Immortals and then struck without anyone knowing. Only a Saint could be capable of doing this."

"Could it be Tongtian Jiaozhu? He has the deepest conflict with Yuanshi Tianzun."

……

For a time, countless people discussed it, full of various conspiracies and conjectures.

At the same time, the Saints and major forces were all in a state of panic, fearing they would follow in the footsteps of Yuanshi Tianzun, so they all issued orders that their subordinate Golden Immortals must always remember to hide their true forms, while also obscuring the Heavenly Secret for them.

Not only that, they also secretly investigated who was responsible.

Such methods were too dirty, yet truly fatal; they had to be guarded against.

Zichen Hall.

"Great King."

Zhang Shaokang and Yao Chen bowed in salute.

Zhang Shaokang felt secretly suspicious; to be honest, he had not seen this old friend for many years.

The Great King has actually summoned Yao Chen back this time; I fear there is some major event.

"No need for such formalities."

Yin Qi smiled gently and said, "I summoned you all here this time to understand the development of the Martial Hall and Tianluo Hall, and to see if there are any difficulties. Shaokang, you speak first."

Zhang Shaokang reported, "Great King, the Martial Hall is developing very well and now possesses over five hundred Golden Immortals, but the Military's pace of advancement is truly too fast; we cannot keep up with the rhythm at all and can only first establish branch halls in the capitals of the Daos and Prefectures.

As for areas below the Dao level, we can only slowly extend downwards.

Additionally, although the major powers within the newly added territories have been uprooted, there are still many small forces that do not submit to our teachings, and even various Demons, monsters, and practitioners of the Evil Dao who are accustomed to running rampant locally.

Most of our Martial Hall's energy is spent on cleaning up these local areas."

Over these six years, the number of Golden Immortals in the Military's Thirty-Six Legions has increased to over three hundred; this is a truly terrifying force that, while avoiding direct conflict with the Sages and major powers, has swept across all directions.

Under these circumstances, the Martial Hall no longer needs to undertake assault missions.

Most of its energy is spent on cleaning up local areas.

After all, when the great army campaigns, its targets are nations and tribes, and it does not target individuals.

These individuals include demonic cultivators who practice the demonic path, members of the Demon Race who commit all kinds of evil, practitioners of the Evil Dao who run rampant locally, and even great clans that have entrenched themselves in local areas for thousands of years; they are all destabilizing factors in the local regions.

If the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty wishes to permeate its control into every corner, these destabilizing factors must all be cleared away.

Truth be told, the Martial Hall's task is no lighter than the Military's.

Yin Qi nodded.

Regarding this matter, he had no solution either.

Moving from disorder to order must inevitably undergo a difficult process of transformation.

Zhang Shaokang continued, "Actually, these are not difficult matters, just somewhat trivial, but there are some destabilizing factors that this subject feels must be taken seriously."

Yin Qi raised an eyebrow: "Oh, what is it?"

"The struggle for orthodoxy among the various sects."

Zhang Shaokang said solemnly, "The various sects fight ceaselessly against one another to contend for orthodoxy, and when they strike, they have no scruples, often causing harm to the Ordinary commoners.

Sometimes, even entire cities or the commoners of entire regions will all perish, with hundreds of millions dead or injured.

We have also warned them before, but they ignore us entirely."

Speaking to this point, he glanced at Yin Qi and continued, "Great King, if this matter is not handled properly, I fear it will be very difficult to establish the majesty of our Great Shang Celestial Dynasty within the newly added territories.

Over time, I fear it will exist in name only.

The commoners in various places will only fear the orthodoxies of the various sects and will not know of our Great Shang Celestial Dynasty." (End of chapter)
