Lofty Ambitions

Without any delay, Maha Tian sent one hundred Sovereign from the Three Earthly Meridians the very next day.

These Sovereign are freer than the "chickens" on the Yanming Continent. If they are lucky enough to break through to the Earthly Sovereign, they can get rid of their servant status.

Of course, the talent of Earth Vein is stronger than that of Human Vein, but it is not much better. Looking at the Heavenly Sovereign of the Maha Clan, they all have at least Heavenly Vein, and there are many with Seven Divine Meridians as well.

For the Maha Clan, only the Eight Divine Meridians are truly rare, while the Nine Divine Meridians are among the rarest of the rare.

Besides these one hundred Sovereign, there were two Earthly Sovereign, one Upper and one Lower, both handsome young men with fire-attribute Spiritual Power and strong Soul Power. They were named Maha You and Maha Man, respectively, and were obviously medicine boys found by Maha Tian.

Xiao Yan threw the newly arrived hundred Sovereign into the Life Spirit Flame as well, and began to study medicinal Medicinal Herbs with corresponding medicinal properties.

First, Xiao Yan brought up Emperor Pill, who had been bullying everyone on the Dou Qi Continent.

This guy is an Emperor Pill, with strength comparable to Dou Emperor. He was left behind by Xiao Yan, so no one dares to touch him, and his safety is guaranteed.

At the same time, Emperor Pill exhaled a breath of essence, the rich medicinal power of which was enough to allow the Ninth Grade Pill to directly skip the final stage of pill condensation and devour the World Energy.

Therefore, countless Alchemist almost regard the Emperor Pill as their ancestor.

Xiao Yan thought that the Emperor Pill was a top-tier Pills no matter what, so he simply brought it to the Great Thousand World and refined it again with the Endless Fire Domain, raising it to the Heavenly Sovereign realm, and used it for testing.

Pills naturally do not have Spiritual Veins, but Xiao Yan did not care. Based on his physical condition, he used various Heavenly Flames to open up Spiritual Veins within the Emperor Pill.

As a Pills, and even one comparable to the Heavenly Sovereign, the Emperor Pill Pills possesses immense vitality. No matter how Xiao Yan manipulates it, he need not worry about damaging his foundation.

Of course, I don't feel bad if I get hurt.

After opening up the Spiritual Veins, the next step is to use various Medicinal Herbs to stabilize Spiritual Veins.

Such as Bone Changing Grass, Vein Shaping Flower, Death Profound Reflection Fruit, Blood Spirit Marrow, Spirit Vein Bewildering Stone, Heavenly Poison Vein Piercing Fruit, Soul Devouring Bone Rotting Flower...

Xiao Yan tried everything that could affect his Spiritual Veins, from rare and precious natural treasures that could improve his talent to poisons that could instantly kill him.

To be honest, there aren't many things that can work on Heavenly Sovereign, but Xiao Yan's meticulous scientific research spirit, as well as Emperor Pill's terrified yet numb expression, deeply touched the hearts of the two medicine boys and those Sovereign.

As a result, after a month, only twenty-three Sovereign survived, four of whom had Three Earthly Meridians and nineteen of whom had one Human Vein.

The difficulty of reshaping the Spiritual Veins was lower than Xiao Yan had imagined.

Of the nine Spiritual Veins that Xiao Yan had created within Emperor Pill's body, six remained intact, forming a flame that emitted a slightly strange emanation.

Xiao Yan knew that the reason for the formation of this flame was that the Emperor Pill was tempered in the Endless Fire Domain, and there was a subtle connection between his body and the flame.

Meanwhile, one of the twenty-three people succeeded, evolving from a single -Human Vein to a four- Earth Vein.

Xiao Yan had prepared for failure, but unexpectedly, a success story emerged.

This person is a Third-Grade Sovereign whose Spiritual Power leans towards the Wood Attribute. He was initially at the peak of the first grade, broke through in the Life Spirit Flame, and then reshaped his meridians, breaking through once again.

Although his cultivation level had not reached the Heavenly Sovereign and the divine power he had formed had not yet manifested, Xiao Yan could still vaguely sense that it was a divine power related to life force.

With successful examples, Xiao Yan understood the key to rebuilding the Spiritual Veins.

For powerful beings from Lower Plane, creating Spiritual Veins is relatively easy because they are essentially "nothingness." Xiao Yan was able to create Spiritual Veins from nothingness using his transformed Di Yan, and then use Pills to fix them. The supernatural power he ultimately formed was also closely related to the Di Yan.

For native powerful beings in the Great Thousand World, rebuilding their Spiritual Veins is much more difficult, as their own Spiritual Veins will create a rejection during the rebuilding process.

With rejection, the original Spiritual Veins will either be destroyed or it will be further developed based on the original Spiritual Veins. This will significantly increase the compatibility between Xiao Yan and the person being reshaped, as well as the demand for Pills.

However, at least the cultivation techniques practiced on the Dou Qi Continent today were basically created by Xiao Yan, and the various Heavenly Flames he refines are highly compatible with Xiao Yan.

In the future, if a Dou Emperor ascends to the Great Thousand World, Xiao Yan can easily activate the Endless Fire Domain to convert Spiritual Power for him, and reshaping his Spiritual Veins will be a piece of cake.

Xiao Yan handed over his ideas and the Pill Recipe the auxiliary medicine to the two apprentices, then gave them the Emperor Flame Seed and instructed them to continue reshaping the Spiritual Veins.

As for Xiao Yan himself, after refining the Heavenly Sovereign Pill for the Sword Domain, he became a hands-off manager, pondering his strange divine ability—which had been fully formed when he created the Spiritual Veins for the Emperor Pill.

It seemed to be a special state, or some kind of Heavenly Flames, capable of instantly exhausting Xiao Yan's Spiritual Power, blood and Soul Power, and the power it unleashed was indescribably strong.

Xiao Yan had no doubt that such an attack could easily destroy the Eternal Undying Body.

After repeated encouragement and sitting cross-legged under the Bodhi Ancient Tree, Xiao Yan finally figured out the trick.

The principle is easy to understand: it simply releases the power contained within all matter and has the ability to "infect" it—as long as Xiao Yan can withstand it, the matter that comes into contact with the released power will also release power, forming a chain reaction...

"Now it's a self-propelled deterrent."

Xiao Yan's expression was strange. He summoned Maha Yan and ordered her to issue a task in the Great Thousand Palace:

Counterattack against the Outer Realm Evil Clan.

Maha Yan was stunned for a long time before saying to Xiao Yan, "Flame Emperor Yan, the places occupied by the Outer Realm Evil Clan are filled with Demonic Qi and impure Spiritual Power, making it difficult for creatures of the Great Thousand World to survive there."

"Even if you can purify Demonic Qi, there's no need for you to go through the trouble of wresting territory from the Outer Realm Evil Clan."

"Just tell me which continent you fancy, and the Maha Clan will conquer it for you."

"I've set my sights on those continents occupied by the Outer Realm Evil Clan," Xiao Yan said calmly.

"..." Maha Yan was completely baffled, but dared not disobey Xiao Yan's orders. After failing to persuade him, he could only retreat.

Of course, Maha Yan did not contact the people of the Great Thousand Palace, but instead went to Maha Tian first.

Maha Tian immediately dropped everything and rushed to the Yanming Continent to find Xiao Yan, his face full of worry.

"Brother Xiao, why must you fight to the death with that Outer Realm Evil Clan? There are many continents in the Great Thousand World where there are no Heavenly Sovereign. Those places would welcome Brother Xiao's arrival."

"Maha Clan should know that what the Outer Realm Evil Clan likes to do most is to find those Lower Plane that have the Plane Embryo and then invade them, right?" Xiao Yan said to himself.

Maha Tian was slightly taken aback. Thinking of Xiao Yan's background, he hesitated and said, "Those Lower Plane might not be able to withstand Brother Xiao's divine might!"

"Many Lower Plane could have existed for much longer, but under the invasion of the Outer Realm Evil Clan, countless living beings were turned into Blood Food, and the entire plane was on the verge of collapse." Xiao Yan still didn't have a chance to say anything from Maha Tian.

Maha Tian frowned, as if he had thought of something, and remained silent.

Xiao Yan then continued, "After the Outer Realm Evil Clan devoured all the Plane Embryo, the remaining plane has basically lost its value. Even if it is used to refine the Heavenly Sovereign Pill, the Demonic Qi in it must be removed first."

"For Brother Xiao, removing the Demonic Qi from a Lower Plane doesn't seem difficult?" A glint appeared in Maha Tian's eyes.

"I urge Maha Clan to take the lead, unite the Five Great Ancient Clans, and lead the Great Thousand World in a counterattack against the Outer Realm Evil Clan!" Xiao Yan said, cupping his hands to Maha Tian.

"To restore the glory of the world is our inescapable duty!" Maha Tian raised his right hand, pressed it to his chest, and said with a majestic air.

Maha Tian left in a great hurry, even faster than when he arrived.

Xiao Yan then began to study the details of the counterattack.

Using incentives can indeed greatly motivate powerful forces, but it also creates a drawback—

What should be done about Lower Plane like Heavenly Profound Continent and White Dragon Plane that are being attacked by the Outer Realm Evil Clan?

Is it possible to send Great Perfection Earthly Sovereign who will not affect the stability of the Lower Plane to risk heavy losses and fight against the Outer Realm Evil Clan?

Or should we simply ignore them, disregard those suffering people, and instead search for abandoned Lower Plane?

It is believed that more Heavenly Sovereign would choose the latter.

The Lower Plane are unreasonable; they are extremely hostile to the Outer Realm Evil Clan, but they also do not welcome the strong from the Great Thousand World —outsiders will be suppressed to varying degrees.

Although the impact on one side of the Great Thousand World would be smaller, even with this impact, it would be difficult to obtain the Plane Embryo. In the end, after fighting to the death with the Outer Realm Evil Clan, they would still gain nothing.

Therefore, in this Lower Plane that is still resisting the Outer Realm Evil Clan, few powerful beings from the Great Thousand World are willing to help.

Xiao Yan felt that he was capable of handling this task.

It doesn't matter if we don't obtain the Plane Embryo; what's fundamental is that we've gained Lower Plane everyone is a soldier, has fought against the Outer Realm Evil Clan for many years, and has enormous war potential.

Among them, there will be a few talents who can break through to the Heavenly Sovereign, and their character will generally be good. Xiao Yan, like a god descending to earth, saves the entire world, then teaches them how to transform Spiritual Power and introduces them to the Great Thousand Palace...

If we do all sorts of favors, won't the Heavenly Sovereign's subordinates come?

These Heavenly Sovereign must be quite hostile towards the Outer Realm Evil Clan. How could he possibly disagree with having them guard the territory that was taken back from the Outer Realm Evil Clan?

However, we still need to give the Great Thousand World some confidence.

Xiao Yan thought of the physical body left behind by the Immortal Great Emperor. When he sensed it up close last time, he only felt the seemingly endless Undying Spiritual Power within it.

It's unlikely that the Immortal Great Emperor could be completely resurrected, but if he were half-resurrected and transformed into a "Living Dead," then with the Immortal Great Emperor's former strength that earned him a place on the Sky Ranking, it would be easy for him to either come back to life completely or Reincarnation and live another life.

The Living Dead is a Secret Technique in the Dou Qi Continent that desecrates the corpse. It requires a high degree of physical integrity. However, since the Immortal Great Emperor's physical body is completely intact, it is not difficult to inject vitality into it using the Eternal Undying Body as a guide.

Xiao Yan flashed and traversed space, heading towards the Northern Desolation Hill.

The Northern Desolation Hill remained exactly as Xiao Yan had left them, with several volcanoes standing beside the massive seal, looking both incongruous and familiar.

The Lord of Immortality sensed Xiao Yan's aura and immediately came to greet him, saying with a complicated expression, "Why is Flame Emperor in such a hurry? It's not too late to launch a counterattack against the Outer Realm Evil Clan after you've left your name on the Sky Ranking."

"I'm afraid the Outer Realm Evil Clan will run away by then," Xiao Yan said confidently.

"..." The Lord of Immortality was puzzled. What did he mean by being afraid that the Outer Realm Evil Clan would run away? Wouldn't it be better to just drive them back?

But Xiao Yan didn't explain to him. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Now that I have inherited the Eternal Undying Body, I am confident that I can restore some of the Immortal Great Emperor's sanity. In order to prevent any unforeseen complications, why don't we start now?"

The Lord of Immortality's eyes instantly lit up with boundless joy. He no longer cared whether the Outer Realm Evil Clan had escaped or not, and led Xiao Yan to the seal of the Great Emperor's Legacy.

The Northern Desolation Hill, at the deepest part of the earth, at the end of the abyss where the Heavenly Evil God is suppressed.

Here, there is a high platform with 9,990 stone steps leading down from it.

When Xiao Yan last came here, he was still a Residual Soul, trembling under the demonic power emanating from the Heavenly Evil God, and dared not resist at all.

But now, separated by the seal, Xiao Yan has the courage to look directly into the abyss.

However, since this trip was not for the Heavenly Evil God, Xiao Yan only glanced at it briefly before following behind the Lord of Immortality and stepping onto the stone steps again.

An altar stood atop a high platform, and in the center of the altar was a Meditation Cushion shimmering with spiritual light, upon Meditation Cushion sat a figure in white robes.

The figure was tall and slender, with long, flowing hair. His features were captivating, and his eyes were closed. He didn't look dead, but rather as if he were asleep.

"I beg the Lord of Immortality to protect me," Xiao Yan said, exhaling a breath of turbid air.

The Lord of Immortality did not respond, but his Spiritual Power suddenly surged, and he turned around and stood between the altar and the abyss, blocking the gaze of the Heavenly Evil God.

With a thought, Xiao Yan conjured a ball of light about an inch in size in his palm, from which endless Glazed Divine Light emanated, and a rich aura of immortality instantly enveloped the white-robed figure.

"Splash... splash..."

Almost instantly, the sound of the chains rattling rang out. The sealed Heavenly Evil God sensed this immortal aura that he loathed, and his reaction was even more intense than that of the Immortal Great Emperor.

But the next moment, the Spiritual Power containing boundless might poured down again, and the Sky Ranking descended.

Even the Heavenly Evil God dared not show himself while sealed, and could only temporarily conceal himself.

Xiao Yan's expression remained expressionless, as the Life Spirit Flame burst forth, and a vast life force surged wildly into the Immortal Great Emperor's body. However, his somewhat thin body seemed like a bottomless pit, remaining unmoved no matter how much life force Xiao Yan poured into it.

Only the lone character "Ye" on the Sky Ranking stood out brilliantly.

"Rise!"

With a roar, Xiao Yan caused his nine Spiritual Veins to shine brightly. The Sky Ranking seemed to be shaken by Xiao Yan at this moment, and the character "Ye" suddenly burst out with light, shooting towards the Immortal Great Emperor's brow.

And the Immortal Great Emperor's eyes, which had been closed for tens of thousands of years, finally opened slowly at this moment.

As his eyes opened, a terrifying aura, which even Xiao Yan could hardly withstand, burst forth from his body, bypassing Xiao Yan and locking onto the sealed Heavenly Evil God.
