Chaoge City.

With his back to Chaoge City, Yun Zhongzi did not rush on his way but walked slowly.

Some time has passed since Yun Zhongzi gifted the demon-slaying wooden sword to King Di Xin of Shang.

If nothing unexpected happens, the monster that infiltrated the palace will be defeated in a few days, but...

Yun Zhongzi paused slightly, turned around, and gazed at Chaoge City in the distance. His face was expressionless, neither sad nor happy; he simply sighed softly.

Although it was just a wooden sword that he casually carved, it was still forged by Yun Zhongzi himself, so he could naturally sense the state of that wooden sword.

Just now, the wooden sword was destroyed.

"It is ordained by Heaven, and this humble Daoist is powerless to change it..."

Yun Zhongzi sighed silently to himself.

Upon learning that the demon might be involved in Sage's scheme, he even intervened. In this instance, he had already done more than enough.

Things have come to this.

Even Yun Zhongzi was powerless to help.

Besides, he wasn't a pedantic person.

What Ao Changsheng had told him before was to take care of the Human Race as much as possible, not to take care of the Yin Shang Dynasty.

He wouldn't go so far as to associate the Yin Shang Dynasty with the Human Race.

"The Immortal Slaughter Tribulation... the Immeasurable Tribulation... the Heavenly Court... the disciples of Sage, all are ultimately destined to revolve around the Human Race, perhaps..."

"It's time for Human Race to establish a new dynasty once again."

Yun Zhongzi thought to himself.

As one of the earliest disciples of the Chan Sect, Yun Zhongzi attained enlightenment early on, and he even witnessed the establishment of the Xia Dynasty.

This is certainly not surprising.

Although he didn't know what the elders of the Human Race were doing, he understood that the Human Race changed dynasties every time.

All of these absolutely involved the schemes of countless powerful Human Race.

Naturally, this was not something a Quasi-Sage like him could get involved in, especially since... this time it also involved Immortal Slaughter Tribulation.

It concerns Immeasurable Tribulation. Even if it wasn't thought of at first, as time goes by, anyone with a modicum of common sense can understand it.

The Immeasurable Tribulation will absolutely not bypass the protagonists of this era: the Human Race.

At this critical juncture, the unknown grand plan of the Human Race, the scheming of various holy sects, and the decree of Dao Ancestor Hongjun for the conferment of gods were all involved.

If Yun Zhongzi were to get involved in such a complex situation, even his destiny as an immortal of good fortune might not be able to protect him.

I've figured everything out in my heart.

Yun Zhongzi immediately stopped hesitating and took a step forward. The next instant, his figure vanished and reappeared in a very distant location.

After taking several more steps, they completely left Chaoge City behind.

As the sun and moon alternate, time flows on.

Within the territory of Xiqi, there is a mountain called Yan.

At this moment, in the Mount Yan, a caravan of Human Race chariots was traveling through a torrential downpour.

Although there was a downpour, the carriages were shielded by divine light, preventing the rain from getting in.

Divine light also shone beneath the chariot and horses' feet, completely ignoring the muddy ground soaked by the rain.

Sitting in this entourage of Human Race chariots was none other than Ji Chang, the current Marquis, Earl of the West of Xiqi.

Their destination this time was Chaoge City.

The reason for this was that King Di Xin of the Yin Shang Dynasty summoned the four major feudal lords.

Certainly...

Marquis, Earl of the West Ji Chang of Xibo, who was skilled in divination using the Eight Trigrams, naturally knew that this matter was not so simple, but...

But he couldn't not go.

Although Xiqi was developing well at this time, it was still far behind the Yin Shang Dynasty.

Even though Ji Chang, the Ji Chang of Marquis, Earl of the West, already harbored rebellious intentions, it was still not the right time.

Moreover, although he experienced some scare during this divination, he escaped unharmed.

Suddenly.

A rare and enormous bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky.

Thunder and lightning struck, shaking mountains and rivers.

Even though many of the people in the convoy possessed cultivation, they were still somewhat flustered for a moment.

Those who could travel with Marquis, Earl of the West Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, were, if not the elite troops of Xiqi, but still elite soldiers.

The mere sound of thunder couldn't frighten them; it was mostly the accompanying servants and maids who panicked.

After such a loud thunderclap, the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped in no time, and the sun shone brightly in the sky.

Looking at the clear sky, everyone in the convoy couldn't help but marvel.

After all, such a torrential rain dissipated just like that.

Of course, in a world where cultivators and immortals exist, the crowd only sighed and didn't pay much attention.

In the most luxurious carriage of the convoy, Ji Chang, the Marquis of Marquis, Earl of the West, paused slightly.

Amidst the thunder, he seemed to have sensed something unusual.

As someone skilled in divination using the Eight Trigrams, Ji Chang naturally took out copper coins and began to perform calculations.

Before long, a hexagram that was difficult for ordinary people to understand appeared in the carriage.

"Clouds pass and a general is born; a general's star appears. Come, go into the Mount Yan and find this general's star with me."

Ji Chang's face lit up with joy, and he quickly gave the orders.

Those who could be by Ji Chang's side at this moment were all elders of Xiqi, and naturally they were well aware of their Marquis, Earl of the West's abilities.

Without the slightest hesitation, many soldiers entered the Mount Yan in search of the so-called "general star".

Not long after.

A soldier emerged from the Mount Yan, carrying a toddler in his arms.

Despite having just experienced a torrential downpour, the infant in the soldier's arms was completely dry, without a single wet spot.

Ji Chang took the infant from the soldier's arms and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"I am destined to have a hundred sons, and now I am ninety-nine. I am about to travel to Chaoge, where I am destined to have a son, fulfilling the omen of having a hundred sons. What a fortunate and wonderful event!"

Ji Chang was overjoyed.

It's not just a so-called omen of a hundred sons.

Furthermore, the child in his Root Bone possessed an exceptionally rare, if not uncommon, innate talent Root Bone destiny.

Moreover, his destiny is that of a general, destined to be a powerful general for Xiqi in the future.

In an instant, much of the gloom of the impending journey to Chaoge City dissipated.

Looking at the child in his arms, Ji Chang was even more delighted, and immediately said softly, "After the thunder roars and the rain clears, let this child be named... Lei Yuqing!"

"Master, the young master is a nobleman..."

Beside him, an old servant sighed and stepped forward with a look of utter anticipation, offering words of advice.

"Of course I know that the young master is a nobleman... What, can't a nobleman be called Yuqing?" Ji Chang frowned and argued.

"Master is about to depart for Chaoge, and it is inconvenient to bring the young master along. He should be sent back to Xiqi."

The old servant looked at Ji Chang and whispered a reminder.

"This..."

Upon hearing the old servant's reminder, Ji Chang looked unwilling, gazed at the child in his arms, and finally sighed softly.

He knew that if he sent the child back to Xiqi, according to the precedent set in the previous ninety-nine times, the child's name would be...

It's probably beyond saving.

He intended to keep the child by his side and teach him, so that the child would accept his name.

But if he isn't sent to Xiqi... just as the old servant said, his trip to Chaoge this time will not be for enjoyment, but for suffering.

Bringing a child along is naturally inconvenient, both for him and for the child.

"Is the name Lei Yuqing really that bad?" Ji Chang asked the old servant beside him, his face full of resentment.

It wasn't that he wanted to ask the old servant.

Rather... apart from this old servant, probably no one around dared to speak the truth; Ji Chang was certainly aware of this.

Looking at Ji Chang's appearance, the old servant glanced at the child in Ji Chang's arms with pity, and then spoke truthfully.

"It sounds nice, but... it's not quite suitable for the young master."

"Hateful..."

Ji Chang's expression of resentment deepened; among his hundred sons, he had finally earned the right to name the first one.

But now...

But it was beyond saving!

How could Ji Chang and the Marquis, Earl of the West be willing to accept this?

Meanwhile, in the sky, two figures stood on the clouds, gazing at the scene below.

However, neither the elite soldiers in the convoy nor Ji Chang, the Marquis, Earl of the West, noticed the two figures standing on the clouds.

"The way Marquis, Earl of the West Ji Chang of Xibo, chose his name... is quite unique."

Guiling looked down at Ji Chang and the child in Ji Chang's arms, his eyes filled with pity.

Jinling, standing to the side, nodded repeatedly.

Indeed, standing atop the clouds were none other than the two women, Guiling and Jinling.

Although the two women did not use their Divine Ability powers, as Quasi-Sage, their eyesight was naturally excellent.

They could also roughly discern what Ji Chang could calculate.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances.

The child in Ji Chang's arms at this moment will surely become a great general of Xiqi in the future.

And this name...

Thinking of the future when this child fights for Xiqi, on the battlefield...

"I am Lei Yuqing, the Supreme General of Xiqi. Enemies ahead, state your names..."

The scene was absolutely breathtaking.

Of course, as Quasi-Sage and powerful beings, Guiling and Jinling would not ridicule her or others because of a mere name.

Only...

I felt a little pity for the child.

"That's right!"

Just then, Jinling suddenly remembered something, her expression tightened, and she quickly looked at Guiling and asked.

"Guiling, you said that the Purple Tenuity Star Spirit was reincarnated in Xiqi, so its name wouldn't be..."

As she spoke, Jinling's expression became tense.

It should be known that among all the stars, Ziwei is the most noble. It can be said that, apart from the Dipper Mother of the Kan Palace, who is the mother of all stars, Purple Tenuity Star Spirit.

Their presence here is also for the sake of the Purple Tenuity Star Spirit.

Of course, even as a minor ruler of reincarnation, the Guiling helped many Star Spirits reincarnate Human Race.

But even she didn't know exactly where she was reincarnated.

Xiqi Guiling had to beg his senior brother at Fire Cloud Cave for a long time before he learned of the result of the change of the Human Race dynasty.

The one that will replace the Yin Shang Dynasty is Xiqi at this time.

With the Purple Tånúó Star in their position, even if they were to be reincarnated at random, they would inevitably be born into a dynasty like Xiqi, a dynasty destined for heaven.

That's why the Guiling and the Jinling are here now.

Certainly...

The fact that Guiling and Jinling went to such lengths to find the reincarnation of Purple Tånúó Star Purple Tenuity Star Spirit was certainly not simply to protect the reincarnation.

The purpose will not be discussed for the time being.

Seeing the worried look on Jinling's face, Guiling paused slightly and said softly, "It shouldn't be!"

However, it would be much more convincing if those words were spoken without hesitation or doubt.

"That..."

Upon hearing Guiling's words, Jinling's expression of worry deepened.

Based on the naming style of Ji Chang, the Marquis, Earl of the West, one can imagine that the name of his own Purple Tenuity Star Spirit reincarnation wouldn't be something like Ji Xingyu or Ji Xingqing!

Ziwei Great Emperor Ji Xingyu?

Ziwei Great Emperor Ji Xingqing?

Just thinking about such a name sent a shiver down Jinling.

Her Star Spirits lineage is doomed!

It should be understood that the names of Human Race are like the Daoist titles of cultivators, both being connected to the cultivator's Karmic Luck.

It is something that cannot be easily changed.

Of course, the Star Spirits lineage doesn't care much about certain Karmic Luck; what they fear most is that the reincarnation of the Purple Tenuity Star Spirit might accept their name.

If you don't want to change it...

This is not impossible.

Given a cultivator's temperament, once they accept a name, they naturally won't care about such a trivial matter.

But...

The Holy Mother Jinling thought of that scene, and her heart felt heavy.

The previous indifference towards the name 'Lei Yuqing' was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing Jinling's appearance, a faint smile quietly appeared on the lips of the Guiling beside him, and then vanished without a trace.

Unlike Jinling, who was burdened by the oppressive power of the Nine Provinces Barrier and whose emotions were clouded by concern.

Since Guiling had no pressure and no connection with Purple Tenuity Star Spirit, he was perfectly clear-headed.

But looking down at the old servant's advice after Ji Chang, the Marquis, Earl of the West Xibo, named his son, and Ji Chang's unwillingness to accept it, he was struck by the sight.

She could roughly guess that Ji Chang's previous attempts at naming things had never been successful.

After all, even an old servant could persuade Ji Chang.

Moreover, this was in Xiqi, and... that look of resentment was the best proof that they had never succeeded!

But...

Looking at Jinling's appearance, Guiling quietly used the Great Art of World Photocopying taught by his master.

They recorded Jinling's appearance from every angle.

It's astonishing that even a Quasi-Sage Jinling could appear in such a state.

It is likely that only during such an Immeasurable Tribulation, in the land of Nine Provinces, involving matters of the Star Spirits, could such a feat be accomplished with the convergence of favorable timing, geographical advantage, and popular support.

Such precious footage should naturally be preserved.

Meanwhile...

Below, in front of the procession of Ji Chang Marquis, Earl of the West, a Daoist priest who appeared out of nowhere quietly blocked the way.

Seeing that a Daoist priest was blocking their way, the caravan naturally stopped.

The soldiers leading the way changed their expressions slightly.

As the soldier leading the way, he didn't even notice the man before the convoy stopped.

Is this dereliction of duty?

No... this is definitely an encounter with a powerful cultivator!

These soldiers naturally possessed this basic common sense.

But...

Even for powerful cultivators, this is still Human Race, the territory of Xiqi, and the person in the caravan is the Marquis, Earl of the West of Xiqi.

Even though the soldiers of Xiqi understood the situation, they did not hesitate for a moment, and tens of thousands of soldiers instantly formed a battle formation.

"Don't advance! Retreat!"

The terrifying aura of the military formation immediately swept over the Daoist priest's imposing presence in front.

Looking at the Xiqi army formation in front of him, the Daoist, or rather Yun Zhongzi, couldn't help but reveal a glint of shrewdness on his face.

Although this Xiqi army formation was quite different from the true foundational battle formations of the Human Race that he knew, which were the battle formations that could draw upon the power of the Nine Provinces Barrier.

But it's definitely not weak.

Especially in this Nine Provinces.

Under the suppression of the Nine Provinces Barrier, the Human Race army's deterrent and lethal power against cultivators was terrifying.

Among the Xiqi army, the strongest were only two or three Golden Immortal generals; the majority were ordinary Mystic Immortal.

But once this military formation was complete...

Even if a Taiyi master were here, it would be difficult for him to gain any advantage.

But...

Yun Zhongzi was Quasi-Sage, and not a weakling among Quasi-Sage, so naturally he would not fear the so-called military pressure.

Seeing Yun Zhongzi, who seemed to be bathed in a gentle breeze and ignored the oppressive aura, one of the generals among the soldiers' expressions changed slightly.

He inwardly knew something was wrong.

It should be noted that Ji Chang, the Ji Chang of Marquis, Earl of the West, was going to Chaoge City to meet Di Xin, and the soldiers he brought were all considered to be the elite of Xiqi.

But they were definitely not the most elite soldiers of Xiqi.

At this point.

Even though Ji Chang had already foreseen that this trip would definitely not go smoothly, and that it might even pose a considerable danger to him.

However, Ji Chang still defied all objections and only brought ordinary elite soldiers with him.

Under normal circumstances, this army would be sufficient to escort Ji Chang to Chaoge, after all... this is ultimately the land of the Human Race Nine Provinces.

But...

The Daoist priest in front of me...

A shadow of gloom flashed across the general's eyes, but he did not act impulsively. Instead, he adopted a defensive stance, wary of the Daoist.
