Chapter 957: Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage

"Sever!"

Following a sharp shout from Yin Qi.

He formed a blade with his wisdom-heart and severed his own good thoughts.

These good thoughts represented the most beautiful aspects of his humanity: benevolence, tolerance, justice, kindness, and so on.

Whoosh!

As the good thoughts were severed, they transformed into a six-inch-tall miniature figure that emerged from between his brows, its entire body radiating a soft Immortal Light.

It wore a warm smile, like the gentle sun of a winter day.

Subsequently, it dove headfirst into the Taiji Diagram, and shortly after, a youth dressed in a white Xuan Bird robe walked out.

Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage, achieved!

Yin Qi opened his eyes, filled with joy.

With a movement of his mind, the Good Corpse transformed into a stream of light and submerged back into the space between his brows.

"Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage!"

"With my current combat power, below the Saint level, I should be invincible."

Yin Qi muttered to himself.

His foundation was profound; every time he broke through, his combat power would increase significantly.

Calming his mood, Yin Qi continued to cultivate.

……

Five hundred years later.

Yin Qi had completely consolidated his cultivation.

Afterwards, he focused on refining the Taiji Diagram.

As an Innate Supreme Treasure, the Taiji Diagram possessed forty-nine Innate Restrictions, and each Innate Restriction was far more complex than those of a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Its strength was all-encompassing; the restrictions were not only numerous but also more complex and profound.

The Taiji Diagram appeared in the colors of Chaos yin and yang, with Great Dao maxims circling outside the diagram and Heavenly Dao talismans faintly appearing within, possessing the power to pacify earth, water, wind, and fire, and the wonder of transforming yin, yang, and the Five Elements.

Taiji is yin and yang, and yin and yang are among the most fundamental laws in the world.

Wuji gives birth to Taiji, Taiji transforms into the Two Forms, the Two Forms evolve into the Three Talents, the Three Talents form the Four Symbols, the Four Symbols change into the Five Elements, the Five Elements form the Six Harmonies, the Six Harmonies fix the Seven Stars, the Seven Stars produce the Eight Trigrams, and the Eight Trigrams connect to the Nine Palaces.

It can be said that all things in the world are evolved from yin and yang.

"Eh! No way!"

With Yin Qi's Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage cultivation, refining the first Innate Restriction was fast, taking only three years.

When he refined the first Innate Restriction and opened the complete Middle Thousand World within the Taiji Diagram, he suddenly widened his eyes, because Laozi had actually, like Donghuang Taiyi, placed most of his family fortune here.

Various Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures were piled like mountains, countless rare materials were strewn about casually, and there were even twenty-eight Innate Spiritual Treasures and hundreds of Post-Heaven Spirit Treasures.

In addition, there were three Innate Spiritual Roots, over five thousand types of Acquired Spiritual Roots, as well as hundreds of thousands of types of Immortal Seeds and countless types of medicinal herbs, many of which had long been extinct in the Honghuang.

Laozi was skilled in Alchemy, so for the convenience of refining pills, he would naturally transplant various Spiritual Roots and Immortal Seeds here.

Because there was no place safer than the Middle Thousand World within the Taiji Diagram.

It was just that Laozi could never have imagined that someone would be so bold as to forcibly seize his Taiji Diagram.

His accumulation of countless years had suddenly benefited Yin Qi.

Of course, what was most abundant here were various types of pills, hundreds of thousands of bottles, ranging from the top-tier Seven-Turn Golden Pill and Daluo Immortal Pill to ordinary Tribulation Transcendence Stage immortal pills and Four-Turn Golden Pills—everything one could ask for.

As for Spirit Pills below the level of immortal pills, Laozi disdained to refine them.

"Truly worthy of being Laozi!"

Yin Qi exclaimed in admiration.

There were actually over eight hundred Seven-Turn Golden Pills here, the accumulation of Laozi's countless years.

He did a preliminary sorting; this batch of cultivation supplies was dozens of times richer than what Donghuang Taiyi had left in the Human Emperor Bell, enough to refine five Quasi-Saint-level Warships, twenty-five Daluo-level Warships, and over four hundred Golden Immortal-level Warships.

Additionally, it could refine fifteen portions of Thirteenth-Tier Evolution Fluid and over three hundred portions of Twelfth-Tier Evolution Fluid. Even so, there were still many top-tier Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures left unused.

Compared to Nuwa, Laozi's foundation was even more substantial.

For instance, the legendary Pangu Jade Marrow was actually a divine liquid condensed from Mount Buzhou, transformed from Pangu's spinal marrow; it could temper a Saint's physical body, was extremely rare, and only existed in legends.

Yin Qi speculated that this item could serve as the main material for Fourteenth-Order Evolution Fluid.

Besides various cultivation supplies, there was also a Scripture Pavilion here, containing tens of thousands of various Jade Slips, which included both everything Laozi had learned in his life and techniques he had obtained through various channels.

He could imagine how furious Laozi must have been when he felt his Primordial Spirit Mark being erased!

"Hehe!"

Yin Qi chuckled.

It was his, now it was all his.

He cleared out all the supplies and sent them all into the Immortal Court, having the Immortal Spirit arrange for production.

In reality, he also regarded the Immortal Court as the safest place.

After handling this, Yin Qi continued to refine.

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

……

Time Array.

Time passed leisurely; in the blink of an eye, three thousand five hundred years had gone by.

In these three thousand five hundred years, Yin Qi had not only refined the Taiji Diagram to the thirtieth Innate Restriction, but the Human Emperor Bell's Innate Restrictions had also been refined from twenty-five to thirty.

The further one went, the greater the difficulty of refining.

Yin Qi decided to come out of seclusion first and return to the Primordial Continent before doing anything else.

Because over these years, the Immortal Court has already produced forty-four Great Luo-class ships and one thousand Golden Immortal-class ships; as well as twenty-three portions of Thirteenth-Tier Evolution Fluid, and five hundred portions of Twelfth-Tier Evolution Fluid.

Once these supplies are produced, they must naturally be converted into strength.

Additionally, there are over five hundred Seven-Turn Golden Pills refined by Laozi, which also need to be awarded to soldiers with military merits.

……

Wahuang Heaven.

"Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage!"

Nuwa looked at Yin Qi with sparkling beautiful eyes and exclaimed in admiration: "Yin Lang, your cultivation speed is something even Pangu reborn would likely find hard to match; I truly do not know how you cultivate."

The matter of the Luck Altar was his greatest secret, so Yin Qi would naturally not expose it.

He smiled slightly and said: "I do not know either; I just practiced and practiced, and arrived at today's achievements. It is only a pity that I was born a bit late, otherwise, among the current Sages, there might well have been a place for me."

Nuwa smiled and said: "That is true. However, you need not be too obsessed with becoming a Sage; since the true bodies of the Sages cannot step into Honghuang, you are the number one powerhouse in Honghuang."

Yin Qi did not continue this topic and instead asked: "In these past two years, have there been any major events in Honghuang?"

Nuwa shook her head and said: "It is very peaceful. The Sages, the Quasi-Sages, as well as many Great Luo and Golden Immortals have been preaching one after another, causing the flames of war in Honghuang to calm down significantly; only your Great Shang Celestial Dynasty continues to advance rapidly.

Oh, right, I almost forgot.

Two years ago, after I wiped out Laozi's Primordial Spirit Mark within the Taiji Diagram, Laozi flew into a great rage, stirring up Chaos until it rolled incessantly, and even my Wahuang Heaven was affected quite a bit."

Speaking to this point, she could not help but purse her lips and chuckle, feeling the pleasure of a great revenge having been satisfied.

Yin Qi also chuckled and said: "Just flying into a great rage? Laozi was already very restrained. Do you know what Laozi placed inside the Middle Thousand World within the Taiji Diagram?"

Nuwa's beautiful eyes lit up, and she exclaimed: "He wouldn't have put his entire family fortune inside it, would he?"

Yin Qi smiled and said: "You guessed right. Not to mention other things, there were twenty-eight Innate Spiritual Treasures alone, plus over five hundred Seven-Turn Golden Pills; you tell me if Laozi shouldn't fly into a great rage."

"Hiss."

Even Nuwa could not help but gasp in surprise.

Afterwards, she said with delight: "That is wonderful. This time, I am afraid Laozi will have his heart ache for tens of thousands of years. If I were not worried about being suspected by him, I would even want to go to Taiqing Heaven to mock him a few times and see his reaction." (End of this chapter)
