Chapter 1366 1365: Journey to the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain

Qin Hao looked at the official and said lightly, "What do you have to report?"

The official lowered his head and bowed, "I want to report on the defense issues of the various cities in the kingdom. This recent invasion exposed many weaknesses in our dynasty. I believe it is necessary to set up powerful defensive formations in some critical cities."

"I have something to report as well."

"I think that although the Spiritual Stone Energy Cannon is powerful, it consumes too many spiritual stones. We suggest not to continue mass-producing them, as the current number is sufficient."

...

Afterwards, several ministers reported various matters to Qin Hao, making him somewhat overwhelmed.

"Just leave these trivial matters to the four prime ministers to handle. If I have to personally judge and deal with everything, what use do I have for you?" Qin Hao felt a headache hearing these ministers' various reports.

After delegating important matters, Qin Hao announced the end of the court session. The minor issues were left to those few senior ministers to handle.

The newly promulgated policies of the dynasty quickly spread throughout the entire dynasty, with notices posted in each city and special personnel conducting promotion.

Now each city has a Transmission Array, and the soldiers delivering governmental orders can quickly reach all cities. After the orders were announced, they caused a great response.

The most direct proof was that Qin Hao's merit points increased by more than 400 million in just one day.

His statues are now almost spread throughout the entire dynasty; the Skyfire Dynasty now has nearly six thousand cities, and almost every city has his statue.

Every day, Qin Hao's merit points and faith power increase significantly; the closer he is to his statue, the stronger Qin Hao feels.

Especially the statues rich in faith power, he feels as if they are his avatars.

He can teleport next to any statue without consuming the energy within his body.

Within five days of selection, according to Qin Hao's requirements, five million people had gathered in Skyfire City.

The majority of them are military soldiers, alongside some descendants of various large and small families and nobles, as well as some geniuses among the common populace.

The hundred-plus people from the Emperor River Tribe are insignificant among the five million.

Qin Hao now stood in the square of Skyfire City, looking at the dense crowd below: "You are the most elite, talented, and potential-bearing people of the Skyfire Dynasty. The future of the Skyfire Dynasty needs you. Today, you will enter my secret realm for two years of cultivation. I hope you will all reach a new peak upon emerging."

"Thank you, State Preceptor, for your great kindness. We will never forget it," many soldiers said in unison.

Qin Hao's expression remained calm, "The secret realm is now open; please enter in succession."

With that, he waved his right hand, and a portal appeared in the void, radiating a brilliant and dazzling light, as if an Immortal Realm had opened.

Group by group, people entered the secret realm, and after more than an hour, everyone had entered Qin Hao's system space.

The hundred-plus people from the Emperor River Tribe were allocated to a specific area, and Qin Hao gave each of them five drops of Ancient Witch Clan essence blood.

This is essence blood from ordinary ancient witches, not costing much to exchange, but the more than five hundred drops still consumed a considerable amount of his merit points.

These more than five hundred drops are sufficient to cause significant changes in their bloodline power. Even if they cannot fully restore the ancient witch bloodline, they will come very close. Coupled with the Emperor River Ancestor Witch's cultivation method, these hundred-plus people will undergo a qualitative transformation.

...

After everyone entered, Qin Hao closed the entrance to the system space and returned to the palace to say to Ye Lingyi and the others, "You all should also enter the secret realm to cultivate in a few days."

Ye Lingyi spoke up, "Skyfire City has a top-tier Spirit Gathering Array installed, and there's a dragon vein beneath the palace. Cultivating deep in the palace is actually not much different from in the secret realm."

Dong Mengqi and Xianyin nodded: "We won't go in; cultivating within the palace is the same."

Qin Hao: "Alright then, I'll give you some pills to help you break through to the Supreme Realm sooner. In a couple of days when I have time, I'll visit the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain."

"What's your relationship with the people of the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain? Why would they help us?" Ye Lingyi asked curiously.

Qin Hao laughed and explained, "It's very simple, it's a matter of mutual benefit. I am useful to them, and they are useful to me."

In any world, benefits come first. If not for Qin Hao having essence blood, how could the people of the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain help him?

Qin Hao stayed in Skyfire City for a few days, spending quality time with Ye Lingyi and the others before departing for the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain.

Accompanying him to the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain was only Wei Xianyun.

The two of them emerged from the Transmission Array and rode a black dragon into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, moving at great speed.

The route was very familiar; years ago, when Qin Hao came to the Hidden Dragon Continent, the first place he appeared was the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range. Back then, he escaped from the depths of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range using the performance of a Mecha, and he still remembered how a Soul-devouring Demon Wolf chased him relentlessly.

That Soul-devouring Demon Wolf could even transform, so it seemed he was also from the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain. The place where he first appeared should not be far from the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain.

"What are you thinking about so intently?" Wei Xianyun saw him in a daze and curiously asked.

Qin Hao snapped back to reality and said with a smile, "I just remembered something from the past. I came out from here back then."

Wei Xianyun was taken aback, "Doesn't that mean your home is very close to here?"

Qin Hao: "My home is not here."

Wei Xianyun, hearing his words, was puzzled: "Didn't you come out from here?"

Qin Hao smiled faintly, "That's because I came from another world; this was the first place I appeared."

Wei Xianyun was stunned, her beautiful eyes staring at him without moving. Her intuition told her Qin Hao was not lying.

He is from another world? Could he be, like her aunt, a reincarnated immortal?

Considering Qin Hao's terrifying strength and talent, along with his endless treasures, she thought Qin Hao's reincarnated self might be even more formidable than her aunt.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Are you afraid I'll abduct you to another world?" Qin Hao grinned evilly as he put his arm around her.

Wei Xianyun rolled her eyes at him, "Haven't you already succeeded in that? How many people know about this?"

Qin Hao: "Just you alone."

"You're so sweet-talking, making others happy like that." Although she said so, Wei Xianyun felt very pleased, resting her head in his embrace.

When they had ventured tens of thousands of miles into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, a giant peacock met them, and the bird spoke with a man's voice: "Excuse me, are you Mr. Qin?"

Qin Hao nodded slightly, "Are you from the Peacock Clan?"

"Indeed, I was sent by the clan leader to welcome Mr. Qin."

Qin Hao assessed the peacock's realm, realizing it had a Fifth Grade Supreme Realm power, which made Qin Hao secretly awed. Truly, the royal family of the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain was impressive, dispatching a top-tier expert casually.
