Chapter 997: The Destroyed Civilization

Immortal World.

The Heavenly Court.

After returning from Zixiao Palace, Haotian told Yaochi Jinmu everything that had happened.

Yaochi Jinmu said excitedly: "That's great. Knowing the general location of Fangzhang Island, we no longer need to fear not being able to find it! I had guessed before that the Five-Needle Pine, Huangzhong Plum, and Twelfth-Grade Purifying White Lotus, which have never appeared, might be on these two immortal islands. I didn't expect it to actually be true. If we can obtain the Huangzhong Plum, our Heavenly Court will leap to become the leader of all parties."

The Honghuang is large, yet it is also small.

If Supreme Innate Spiritual Roots like the Five-Needle Pine and Huangzhong Plum were not located in places rarely visited by humans, it would be impossible for them not to have appeared in the world by now.

And there is the Twelfth-Grade Purifying White Lotus; such supreme Innate Spiritual Roots have all appeared one after another.

One must know that after the various Saints attained sainthood, they searched for them quite often.

Even with the status of a Saint, they could not find them, which shows how hidden their locations are.

In fact, it was not just Yaochi Jinmu; many people had guessed this, but the locations of Fangzhang Island and Yingzhou Island were simply too hidden, so even Saints could not find them.

Haotian nodded and said: "Hmm, once Yingzhou Island appears, Fangzhang Island will also follow. When these two great immortal islands appear, there will certainly be strange phenomena that will attract everyone's attention.

This time, you will come with me, but you must hide within the void.

After I enter Yingzhou Island and others have their attention drawn to it, you will quickly enter Fangzhang Island and take away the Twelfth-Grade Purifying White Lotus and the Huangzhong Plum.

As for other things, do not dwell on them too much."

The two great immortal islands have been hidden for countless years, and nourished by the endless Innate Spiritual Qi within, they must be filled with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

If one is too greedy, it is very easy to be besieged.

Yaochi Jinmu nodded and said: "Rest assured, I know my limits."

Haotian said: "There is also the matter of Di Qi. Even the Master is not clear about it. Do you think Longji might know something? Should we ask Longji?"

Yaochi Jinmu was very tempted, but in the end, she shook her head and said: "Better not. We are currently in an alliance with Di Qi, and this is his secret. If he finds out we are probing his secrets, he will certainly not be happy.

Furthermore, over these years, through Longji, we have also obtained many benefits from the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty.

I am now more worried that Longji will directly cut off contact with us."

A grown daughter cannot be kept at home.

It was not that she hadn't hinted before, hoping that Longji could whisper sweet nothings to make Di Qi lift the restrictions on the catalog of cultivation resources sold to the Heavenly Court, such as the Seven-Turn Golden Pill and the Golden Immortal-level Warship.

But every time, Princess Longji refused very firmly.

Not to mention matters concerning Di Qi's secrets; even if she knew, she would not say.

Haotian nodded and sighed: "This Di Qi is truly lucky to have obtained such a strange Inner World that is completely unaffected by the Heavenly Dao. I am speculating whether that small world is the ruins of some destroyed civilization from the depths of Chaos.

In this way, it can both satisfy the ability to shield against the influence of the Heavenly Dao and possess the Inheritance of a destroyed civilization.

Things like the Mobile Phone, the Heavenly Dao Network, and those technologies of the Immortal Cultivation Hundred Trades look like products of our Honghuang world."

Yaochi Jinmu pondered: "This is not impossible. In the past, the Master once said that Chaos is boundless and the Honghuang world is not the only world in Chaos. Over countless years, it is normal for civilizations to be destroyed by the Immeasurable Kalpa. It is just strange that the ruins of a destroyed civilization drifted to our Honghuang and were obtained by Di Qi."

Haotian chuckled: "After I attain sainthood and capture Di Qi, the ruins of this destroyed civilization will be ours. A civilization that could be destroyed by the Immeasurable Kalpa must have had many powerful figures; perhaps there is a path to transcendence within."

Yaochi Jinmu's eyes lit up, and she nodded happily.

As for the alliance relationship, or even him being her own son-in-law, what did that count for?

On the path of Dao attainment, there is no sentiment to speak of.

Not long after.

Haotian announced his seclusion to cultivate, and he quietly headed toward the East Sea.

Of course, it was his true self heading to the East Sea.

The vast Heavenly Court certainly still needed his Three Corpses to sit in command and handle daily government affairs.

Accompanying him was Yaochi Jinmu.

The establishment of the new Anti-Shang Alliance naturally could not be hidden from Yin Qi.

Immortal Tomb first reported to him that various forces were monitored gathering at Shouyang Mountain.

Then the next day, news came from Tianluo Hall that the Witches, Demons, Dragon-Phoenix-Qilin, the Ren Sect, the Chan Sect, Buddhism, the Sea of Blood, and the Demon Master Palace had united to form the Anti-Shang Alliance. Tianluo Hall even sent a copy of the specific agreement, which shows just how deep the infiltration of Tianluo Hall into the various forces is.

Yin Qi just smiled faintly and did not take it to heart, nor did he notify his true self.

The Long-Feng Qilin Sanzue were seeking their own deaths.

In fact, he was happy to see it.

If the Long-Feng Qilin Sanzue were all honest, it would be difficult for him to take action against them after finishing off the Anti-Shang Alliance.

As the saying goes, one needs a legitimate reason to go to war.

Attacking the Long-Feng Qilin Sanzue for no reason—how would the living beings of the Honghuang view that?

Now, however, they can be dealt with together later.

For the Honghuang world, having the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty is enough.

Inner World.

Innate Spiritual Root Garden.

Please... add... to your collection... 6... 9... books...!

Under the Bodhi Tree, Yin Qi sat cross-legged with the Opening Heaven Axe floating in front of him, emitting a hazy immortal radiance.

Vast magic power surged into it, slowly refining the restrictions within.

Suddenly, countless insights surged into his heart.

Behind him appeared the phantoms of two worlds: one evolving all laws through creation, and the other evolving all laws through destruction. If he could one day make the two worlds completely solid, that would be the 'Tree Root' realm of laws.

The law realm of the 'Tree Root' realm has already reached the Great Dao Source.

A single thought arises, and Heaven and Earth are born.

Even creating a world like the Primordial World is nothing more than a matter of a single thought.

……

Time drifted by, and in the blink of an eye, another thousand years passed in Honghuang.

Over these thousand years, the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty developed at high speed; its territory grew ever larger, and Golden Immortals and Great Luo emerged one after another.

The various forces of the Anti-Shang Alliance were also working diligently.

Countless resources were developed and then converted into various cultivation supplies through the Primordial Mall; at the same time, they also cultivated a large number of masters of the Immortal Cultivation Hundred Trades to maximize the utilization of resources.

It is just a pity that, up to now, the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty has only authorized the release of data for the Immortal Cultivation Hundred Trades up to the Mysterious Immortal level.

Anything above the Golden Immortal level remains a closely guarded secret.

Therefore, they still have to purchase cultivation supplies above the Golden Immortal level from the Primordial Mall.

Of course, they could also perform the Refining themselves.

It is just that the cost is too high, making it better to purchase from the Primordial Mall; thus, even knowing that Yin Qi would ultimately earn a significant profit, everyone had to hold their noses and accept it.

Naturally, they also kept the truly good things hidden.

If they did not hide them and traded everything to Di Qi, wouldn't that give Di Qi the ability to manufacture a large number of Daluo-level Warships?

……

East of Chaoge City.

The Divine Martial General Mansion.

Divine Martial Great General, the title bestowed upon Yang Jian.

In order to rescue his mother and seek revenge, Yang Jian had fought valiantly and fearlessly since joining the army; precisely because of this, he had repeatedly performed meritorious service over these thirty thousand-plus years, earning a vast amount of military merit.

Finally, a hundred years ago, his accumulated merit was sufficient, and he exchanged it for an Eight-Turn Golden Pill.

After a hundred years of arduous cultivation, he finally broke through today.

Boom!

A vast aura erupted from his body; even though the Practice Room had been layered with restrictions, they still could not completely contain this aura, and wisps of it seeped out.

"Second Brother... has broken through!"

"Second Brother... has broken through!"

Outside the Practice Room, Yang Jiao and Yang Chan stood up abruptly, their faces full of surprise. (End of this chapter)
