No Immortals Under Heaven

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

"You're putting me in a difficult position, Your Majesty." The Humble Origins poured a pot of wine, cut a plate of braised meat, and sat down in front of the two of them.

Qin Yi rolled his eyes. "Who's your empress?"

The man from the Humble Origins asked, "These past few years, word has spread throughout the mortal realm Demon Empress there is a peerless demon queen in the Demon City. Who do you think she is referring to?"

Qin Yi: "..."

"The only one who knows the inside story, Tai Puzi, held back from saying it was you, which made everyone speculate. Oh right, you theoretically have a junior apprentice named Jing Ze, right? He even painted a 'Demon Empress' painting, which is so alluring, tsk tsk."

Qin Yi was speechless. The source of this rumor was probably Tai Puzi; that idiot previously thought she was a beautiful, enchanting Demon Empress.

The rumor probably started when they left the Rift Valley, and after it spread throughout the world, Chengcheng from the Blood Nether Realm revealed her true form. This Cheng Cheng, Tai Puzi knew their true identities, but he wanted to cover up Qin Yi's relationship with the monster, so he could only watch helplessly as the rumor continued to spread.

I don't know whether to blame him for being a chatterbox or to thank him for being kind enough not to publicize his relationship with Cheng Cheng.

And Jing Ze, do you have nothing better to do than eat?

It's true what they say about men. They're all quick to fight and kill monsters, but when there's a rumor of a beautiful Demon Empress, they all get excited and fantasize. I don't know if this is called Ye Long's love of dragons or just the nature of men.

The Humble Origins sighed, "Look, you're my king's man, but every time you appear in front of me, you're either having an affair with Witch or with a female knight-errant. What am I supposed to do?"

"Hey!" Li Qingjun banged on the table. "I haven't even blamed that vixen for seducing my husband yet! If we're going to fight, I'll fight Cheng Cheng myself. Are you going to take her place?"

The fragile Qing Huang Alliance and the young has begun a war from afar. Qin Yi wonders what Cheng Cheng's expression would be if she knew about this Cheng Cheng in seclusion...

The Humble Origins shrank back and remained silent. Qin Yi sighed and said, "Fatty, your cultivation is lagging behind."

When he first met Humble Origins, he was a demon at the peak of the Transformation Realm, which seemed very strong at the time. But now he is only at the seventh level of the Core Formation Realm, and he has been left far behind.

The Humble Origins said helplessly, "In about ten years, I went from the peak of the Transformation Realm to the seventh level of the Core Formation Realm. That's already considered very strong talent. What more do you want? This is only because the King bestowed upon me the powerful blessings of the earth veins and the Purple Mansion. Otherwise, I would be at most at the third or fourth level by now. Even so, compared to other families, it's extremely rare and terrifying. It's just that you yourselves are too abnormal and don't know the hardships of the world."

"Your nature as Demon Cultivator is different from that of humans; even the benefits of unifying the earth's veins are different... I'm comparing myself to Ye Ling..."

"Otherwise, why is she the Young Master, and I'm just a fatso?" Humble Origins slammed his fist on the table. "If I had the bloodline of the Soaring Serpent and the blood bestowed by the divine dragon, would I look like this?"

"Aren't you satisfied with your Pi Shen Bloodline...?" Qin Yi shook his head and said, "But the bloodline of you Demon Cultivator really has a huge impact. It determines too much from birth. I can feel the despair of ordinary demons."

"It's not entirely about bloodline; there are other opportunities. Even fish can transform into dragons... If I had an Innate Thunder Pool to baptize me, skipping levels wouldn't be difficult."

"I've memorized the Innate Thunder Pool," Qin Yi said. "If I have the chance to see it in the future, I'll call you then."

The Humble Origins asked in surprise, "Is that good? I'm a man."

"... I feel like you have a deep misunderstanding about me."

"No, no. You're just being loyal, right?"

Qin Yi sighed, "I have a lot of things I haven't been able to find yet, so my chances of seeing the Innate Thunder Pool are probably better than yours. It's normal for me to keep an eye out for you."

The Humble Origins didn't take it seriously and laughed, "Thanks then."

Qin Yi then asked, "You were cultivating peacefully in the Demon City, and you were even helping me act as the clan Clan Leader, weren't you? How come you've been sent out to be a spy again?"

"The unification of the human world has been disrupted by the immortals, and the involvement of the Demon Sect at the level of Wuxiang is unprecedented in history. It would be strange if we didn't come out to observe. The Demon City cannot be a blind Demon City."

Li Qingjun hesitated and asked, "Then... what did you observe?"

"You all know about the current state of affairs, right?" Humble Origins said, "Now the King Anling in the southwest has submitted, and the Hailing King in the southeast is just a mediocre ruler who only cares about his own interests. The final battle is in the northwest. Once the northwest is secured, the world will be at peace."

"Yes, I know the general situation, but not the specifics. What's the situation in the Northwest?"

Qin Yi knew that if we looked at the ancient map of the struggle for supremacy in China, all the other regions had already been unified, leaving only Fujian and Zhejiang and Gansu and Shaanxi, which were far apart in the north and south. Even if they wanted to unite against the Qianlong Emperor, it would be impossible. Anyone with eyes could see that this trend was already irreversible.

However, with the involvement of immortals, things can change.

Humble Origins said, "The Taiyi Sect is in the west, and the forces they support are also mainly in the west. The Liang King, and the military in the northwest is indeed the most difficult to deal with. However, they are somewhat warlike and the people's livelihood is already very impoverished."

"Liang..." Qin Yi asked curiously, "Is the northwest of the Great Qian Dynasty also called Liang Province?"

"Eh? What makes you say that?"

"It's nothing..." Qin Yi chuckled. "Anyway, in my memory, none of those who started in Liang Province ever succeeded; at most, they were just regional warlords for a time. Why call themselves 'King'? Of all the names, why 'Liang'? If they didn't fail, who would?"

Humble Origins laughed and said, "I've never heard of such an interpretation of the characters. This Liang King is not a prince of Da Qian Emperor, but a warlord from a northwestern border army who supported a distant relative of the royal family who took a roundabout route and called himself Liang King."

Qin Yi was silent for a moment. "So, among the various separatist forces, large and small, none of them originated from the Rebel Army?"

"It used to exist, but it's long gone."

Qin Yi gently shook his head. Back then, the rebellion at Great Joy Temple sparked a popular uprising, with the Rebel Army rising up everywhere, shaking the imperial aura of the Great Qian Dynasty. At that time, Qin Yi felt that the Great Qian Dynasty was not worth protecting, and that it would be better to help the Rebel Army. His initial wish was for the Rebel Army to overthrow the dynasty and rebuild the country, but unfortunately, it seems that he is still just a vanguard for the king.

"The main problem is that the little girl on the Dragon Throne is too powerful," Humble Origins said. "She took complete control at the age of eleven, and in just two years, she has conquered this many forces."

As she spoke, she opened her two chubby hands and waved them, then added, "Actually, there were several forces among them that were quite strong. She managed to unite them together with a shared ideology, and in the end, they were completely convinced of her loyalty."

Qin Yi paused, then asked, "What do you mean?"

"The origin of this Great Qian chaos was the evil monk of the Great Joy Temple, and in the process of vying for power over the years, there have always been Daoists causing trouble. Some righteous Rebel Army that do not believe in evil have also had conflicts with these Daoists who insist on interfering, and they even felt the oppression from the immortals. It can be said that this chaos, from its cause to its process, is largely due to the conflict between the mortals and the immortals." Humble Origins said, "Li Wuxian's meaning is, what do mortal affairs have to do with the immortals? Go back to your immortal mountains."

He paused, then sighed, "No one expected this slogan to be so powerful. Let me tell you, at least the southern forces bordering Southern Li were completely swayed by her, resulting in the complete conquest of Tiannan without bloodshed. The outside world didn't even know the south was under control. Later, when the Nanli Army came out of the mountains, how could they have done it so silently without the cooperation of the south?"

Qin Yi and Li Qingjun looked at each other in bewilderment.

Most dynastic changes are caused by class conflicts, but this time it seems... there are all kinds of conflicts, but after Li Wuxian guided them, the conflict between immortals and mortals became the main one, thus uniting a group of such people.

Qin Yi understood better than anyone that having a guiding principle versus not having one made a qualitative difference. This was the true source of her unstoppable momentum.

Qin Yi couldn't help but ask, "She cultivates immortality herself, uses the power of the Hidden Dragon Temple extensively, and even colludes with the Witch God Sect. Does she have the confidence to back up such slogans?"

"Yes," Humble Origins said. "Who knows she cultivates immortality? And Hidden Dragon Temple is originally a temple of the Da Qian Kingdom, so no one rejects its existence. As for the Witch God Sect, of course, they only sought it out because they were forced into it by the Taiyi Sect. Everyone understands that it's just a pretense."

"Wouldn't the Witch God Sect have any objections to such slogans?"

"In their eyes, this is just a false slogan shouted by an emperor for political purposes. Anyway, once the world is unified, the Witch God Sect can't be driven away, so what's the point of shouting slogans?" Humble Origins's expression became somewhat strange, and he slowly said, "I'm thinking, if Li Wuxian can really realize her slogan and eventually drive away the Witch God Sect, then... her name... who the hell came up with that name?"

Qin Yi and Li Qingjun looked at each other in shock.

Some people have said that there are no gods in this world.

Therefore, his daughter Li Wuxian.

Now that he clearly knows there are immortals, his daughter raises a banner and says, "What do human affairs have to do with immortals? Get back to the immortal mountain!"

I only wish No Immortals Under Heaven.
