Utterly Vicious, an Unconventional Law Treasure
The sky outside the capital of the Qing State.
Xu Cheng'an gazed at the majestic capital city before him, which was as magnificent and spectacular as the capitals of other countries.
The people on the street, though not emaciated, all had sallow complexions and their eyes were filled with fear.
"The Qing State Dynasty's oppressive rule was so severe that even the people of the capital lived in constant fear; it was truly ruthless."
It's a pity you encountered me. You did so to practice the Great Dao, and also for my own cultivation.
It's time for a change of dynasty in this Qing State.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Cheng'an's Divine Sense suddenly spread out, like a giant net covering the entire capital city, searching for the whereabouts of the National Guardian Immortal Master.
In a flash, his figure disappeared, leaving no afterimage, and he appeared in front of a luxurious palace deep within the imperial palace.
Although the palace appears magnificent on the outside, its interior is filled with a dense, eerie Yin Qi, chilling to the bone, making it seem completely unsuitable for a living place.
Xu Cheng'an formed a hand seal and quietly cast an illusion spell. The guards outside the palace instantly lost focus and fell into the illusion.
He seized the opportunity to slip inside, and before anyone in the hall could react, he reached out and grabbed the National Guardian Immortal Master tightly in his palm.
Zhao Zhixing was horrified; he hadn't even had the slightest chance to resist before being captured.
"Senior, spare my life! I am Zhao Zhixing, a disciple of the Evil Soul Hall."
You cannot kill me. To kill me would be to make an enemy of the Evil Soul Hall, and my sect would surely hunt you down. Even if you, senior, possess extraordinary cultivation, you would not escape death.
Xu Cheng'an's lips curled into a cold smile, his tone full of disdain:
"A Middle Stage of the Golden Core Realm cultivator dares to yell at me? He's courting death."
Even if we kill you, the Evil Soul Hall probably won't care too much.
Besides, even if they wanted to hunt me down, they might not be able to find me. But don't worry, I won't kill you now.
His tone shifted abruptly, his eyes turning cold. "But while the death penalty may be spared, punishment is inevitable."
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Cheng'an suddenly exerted force in his hand.
With a "crack", Zhao Zhixing's Golden Core shattered instantly, and the spiritual power in his body leaked out wildly like a flood breaking through a dam.
Feeling his cultivation rapidly dissipating, Zhao Zhixing fell into despair and let out a mournful roar:
"No! You devil! How dare you cripple my cultivation! The Evil Soul Hall will never let you get away with this!"
"Ah, it's a pity you won't live to see that day."
Xu Cheng'an sneered, his tone tinged with disdain, "Besides, times have changed. Given the Evil Soul Hall's modus operandi, they'll likely find themselves in dire straits in the future."
Having said that, he reached out and pressed his hand directly onto Zhao Zhixing's head, instantly activating the Soul Search Technique.
"Aaaaaah!"
A piercing scream echoed throughout the palace.
Zhao Zhixing's face was contorted, saliva was dripping from his mouth, his eyes were bulging, and his whole body was convulsing violently in excruciating pain.
A moment later, Xu Cheng'an withdrew his hand, his eyes filled with disgust, his killing intent almost overflowing.
"The Evil Soul Hall truly treats the people of the Qing State like pigs and sheep, collecting their souls to create vengeful ghosts; they are truly vicious and wicked."
Fortunately, Zhao Zhixing had only been in office as the Guardian Immortal Master for two years, and there were still eighteen years until the next rotation.
This period of time was enough for Li Zhiyuan or someone else to overthrow the Qing State, and also enough for the people to strengthen their power.
Immediately, Xu Cheng'an formed hand seals, and beams of spiritual light entered Zhao Zhixing's body, sealing him before imprisoning him in his Portable Daoist Sanctum.
Having done all this, he raised his hand and beckoned, and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner on the shelf flew straight into his hand.
He stared at the swirling ghostly energy of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his hand, within which the more than 500,000 souls looked bewildered.
Some of the souls, their eyes brimming with resentment and anger, were already beginning to transform into vengeful ghosts.
He took a deep breath to calm himself, then flashed out of the palace and appeared directly above it.
Looking down at the unsuspecting emperor and his officials, his eyes burned with murderous intent. He raised his hand several times, but in the end, he slowly lowered it.
This grudge should be settled by the people of Qing State, who should send these people to the guillotine to completely quell their resentment and break free from their mental shackles.
I'll let them live a few more days for now.
Zhao Zhixing has now been suppressed by me, and the connection between the Qing State and the Evil Soul Hall has been severed.
The time is ripe for Dissemination System.
Even if Li Zhiyuan fails, someone else will surely rise up to overthrow the Qing State.
They could only await death in despair and fear, let them taste that despair too.
With these thoughts in mind, Xu Cheng'an transformed into a streak of light and left the capital city.
He wanted to find a quiet place to deliver the souls within the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and then officially Dissemination System within the Qing State.
In the courtyard of his Portable Daoist Sanctum, Liu Yi leaned back in a rocking chair, looking completely content.
"Little Yellow, your culinary talent is truly remarkable; you've improved again."
If you had grasped the Dao related to culinary arts back then, your cultivation level would probably be even higher now.
Little Yellow lay lazily on the rocking chair next to him, his face full of smugness:
"Wow, I never expected to be so talented in cooking."
Unfortunately, the fundamental principles were already established long ago, and changing them now is not only difficult but also requires a great price.
However, our Great Dao of Devouring is quite good too.
Hehe, just eat and drink more regularly, and your cultivation level will increase.
It suddenly produced a Law Treasure shaped like a frying pan, as if presenting it as a treasure:
"Master, look at the Law Treasure I crafted myself Heaven-Devouring Pot."
It can be used for cooking in normal times, and in battle it can be used to smash people and defend against attacks. The pot can even swallow enemies whole and refine them.
Liu Yi stared at the frying pan, his lips twitching involuntarily. It was the first time he had ever seen someone use a pan as a weapon.
But I must say, this Law Treasure is quite unique and its functions are practical, which fits Little Yellow's style perfectly. He immediately praised it:
"Little Yellow, your idea is brilliant! It's definitely a marvel of Law Treasure!"
Hearing the praise, Little Yellow's smile widened, and he quickly said:
"It's all thanks to Master's excellent teaching! If you hadn't made me the spirit chef back then..."
I never imagined I had such a great talent for cooking, let alone that I could create Heaven-Devouring Pot as Law Treasure.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yi smiled.
Little Yellow can be annoying at times, but most of the time he's honest.
Just then, he suddenly sensed that the world's World Origin within his body had been fully accumulated, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes:
"Little Yellow, I need to go into seclusion for a while."
You should also hurry up and consolidate your Divine Acupoint Realm cultivation. The competition for the Divine Acupoint Realm Combat Power Ranking is relatively small right now, so try your best to climb onto the list.
Little Yellow's smile froze instantly, and he quickly advised:
"Master, are you going into seclusion again? You need to balance cultivation and life to maximize your cultivation efficiency. You can't just bury yourself in cultivation all the time."
Liu Yi raised his hand and gently patted Little Yellow's head, his tone gentle. "This seclusion won't last long; you'll be out soon."
After saying that, he vanished from his spot in a flash, and the next moment he appeared on the bed in the bedroom, sitting cross-legged.
Now that he has broken through to the Dao Soul Realm, his Divine Sense can be divided into millions of parts to do different things simultaneously.
He immediately divided his Divine Sense into 129,600 parts, each entering his inner world. He saw that the Heavenly Dao Space was already overflowing with the World Origin.
The world's area has reached the limit of the Great World, and the Three Thousand Great Daos have long since broken through to the Small Chiliocosm level.
The conditions for advancing to the Small Chiliocosm have now all been met.
He immediately took control of his inner world and officially began his advancement.
A clear, resonant hum resounded, and the inner world began to expand rapidly.
At the same time, the inner worlds of 129,600 individuals simultaneously shone with dazzling brilliance.
The Chaos Celestial Stars Grand Formation formed by the inner world resonates with the Chaos Celestial Stars Grand Formation formed by the stars.
The grand formation then operated efficiently, rapidly refining the surrounding Chaos Qi into matter and the World Origin, continuously filling the newly expanded realm within the body.
