The Lord of Yuanzhong who Devours the Starry Sky

Qi State, Liefeng Mountains.

This is the largest mountain range around Qi State. On the other side of the mountain is the first-class force in the Origin Continent, the Dongji Region!
There was a look of fear on Yanli Hou's beautiful face. He didn't bother to talk to the Zongzi whom he was thinking about. He directly teleported to the depths of the Liefeng Mountains through the command talisman.

Surrounding it were towering mountains, with the roars and cries of strange beasts constantly heard, and waves of Eternal True Gods and even strange beasts from the Chaos Realm spreading, indicating that this was a restricted area for the weak practitioners of all races.

As Yanli Hou activated the talisman in his hand, an invisible wave spread out.

Rumble!
An invisible shock wave appeared, and the original roar of the strange beast disappeared. Only a magnificent and majestic palace complex appeared in front of Yanli Hou, and a passage emitting white light opened.

Whoosh!
Yanli Hou turned into a stream of light and flew quickly towards the entrance of the palace complex.

Since this was not his first time here, Yanli Hou was extremely familiar with this palace complex. When he met a few acquaintances, he did not say hello, but went straight to one of the towering palaces.

Not long after.

“Teacher!” Yanli Hou flew into the palace with an anxious look on his face and shouted, “Teacher, help me!”

The palace was empty and as dark as the night sky. Points of light twinkled in the darkness like shining stars.

And in the center, surrounded by stars, there is a throne emitting a dim glow.

"Why are you so flustered? What's the matter?" A cold and majestic female voice sounded in the palace.

Followed by.

Endless starlight continued to converge on the throne, eventually forming a majestic yet graceful figure.

Yanli Hou seemed like a child in great trouble. When he saw the figure formed by the gathering of starlight, he immediately flew over and begged, "Teacher, save me."

"What happened?"

The starlight on the throne became more and more condensed, and finally formed a beautiful woman in a purple robe with countless stars dotted on her body.

She is like the king among countless nights and stars, beautiful, mysterious and yet intimidating.

This is Yanli Hou’s teacher, Elder Xingguang, one of the surviving elders of Yuan Chongzong!
"Teacher, I met the reincarnation of Zongzi." Yanli Hou begged, "You must save me."

"What? Zongzi!" Elder Xingguang had a look of astonishment on his face, which soon turned into anger. "How dare you come back after seeing Zongzi? Do you think the sect doesn't have enough powerful people who have been polluted?"

"I, I..." Yanli Hou was stunned.

Yes, she shouldn’t have come back after meeting Zongzi, but should have contacted the teacher directly.

But when she learned that Li Qi was the reincarnation of the eldest son of the clan, she panicked and the first thing she thought of was to ask the teacher for help. After all, the teacher was the only elder who had not been corrupted.

"What do you mean 'me'?" The Starlight Elder waved his hands angrily, and the entire palace was sealed off in an instant. Time and space were all isolated, and the palace seemed to be independent of another time and space.

"Relax, I'll check you out."

Even though Elder Xingguang was very angry, his disciple had already arrived at the palace, so he could only conduct an inspection first and then contact other elders while he was still conscious.

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Yanli Hou relaxed and prepared to let his teacher check.

Pollution can be divided into two aspects: one is the material level, and the other is the spiritual will. Some pollution is single, while some pollution involves both.

As far as Yanli Hou knew, there were many monarchs of the Ancient Thunder Country who had merged their bloodline with the Hunyuan bloodline, which caused both their material and will to be polluted, and they would lose control from time to time, very similar to the elders of the sect.

If the pollution is on the material level and has not yet involved the spiritual will, it is easy to solve. You only need to give up your divine body and reincarnate to cultivate again.

It may involve the pollution of the mind and will, which is difficult to get rid of even after reincarnation and cultivation. At most, it can only weaken the degree of pollution.

The catastrophe suffered by the destruction of a sect was the pollution of the mind and will. Some of the polluted elders of the sect chose to reincarnate and cultivate again. Even if they returned to the peak, it only reduced the time they were out of control.

……

Because Yanli Hou had contacted the eldest son of the clan, the Starlight Elders did not dare to be careless and had to seal off the palace first and then conduct a detailed inspection of the disciples.

Originally, she was prepared to be contaminated and carefully examined Yanli Hou's mental will.

But the inspection was over in an instant.

"Hmm?" There was a puzzled look on the face of the Starlight Elder.

"Teacher." Yan Lihou asked carefully, "Is the pollution I have suffered serious?"

"No, you are not contaminated..." Elder Xingguang pondered, "Could it be that the contamination you have suffered is so subtle that even the sect's secret technique for detecting contamination cannot detect it?"

"Teacher, am I finished? Will I have to be like the elders from now on and not be able to leave the sealed place?" Yanli Hou asked aggrievedly.

"No need. Since the sect's secret technique has not been detected..." Elder Xingguang said halfway through his words, and then changed the subject, "How about this, you stay with me for a while, and I will observe whether you show any signs of losing control."

"Teacher, Zongzi is still in my territory." Yanli Hou didn't want to be locked up, so he whispered, "If I stay with you for a while, what will happen to Zongzi?"

"Zongzi..." Elder Xingguang asked hesitantly, "Are you sure he is Zongzi?"

"Uh... I'm not 100% sure." Yanli Hou whispered, "But he knows you, Teacher, and he first called himself Li Qi, not Yuan Qi."

"Li Qi?" The Starlight Elder was slightly stunned. "Could it be that he is really the eldest son?"

"Teacher, Zongzi's real name is Li Qi?" Yanli Hou asked in confusion.

"That's right." Starlight Elder recalled, "I became a true disciple later than Zongzi. At that time, Zongzi was still called Li Qi."

"Then what should we do now?" Yanli Hou asked at a loss, "He is still only an eternal true god, which is very different from the legendary prince."

If Lord Li Chong was really the eldest son of the clan, then the image of the great eldest son that she had longed for in the past would be shattered, and he would be transformed into an eternal true god with an infinite divine body.

"He once said that Zongzi would definitely come back..." Elder Xingguang sighed softly, "We never believed him and even refused to help him return to the Zongmen ruins, but now the facts prove that he was right."

"Who is he?" Yanli Hou wondered.

"The sect's true disciple is the Divine King Chi Xiao." Elder Xingguang sighed softly, "He and the sect master are from the same small universe, and they have a close relationship."

"Is that the Chi Xiao God King who committed suicide?" Yanli Hou thought of the sect's records and was immediately shocked.

God King Chi Xiao was the only God King who dared to return to the sect's ruins after the sect was destroyed by a pollution catastrophe, and thus became the surviving member of the sect that was most seriously polluted.

Because the pollution worsened after the return of the Chi Xiao God King to the sect ruins, powerful people such as the Flame Wind Ancestor and the Thunder Ancestor had to seal the sect ruins and take them away from the Origin Continent.

Due to the worsening pollution, the God King Chi Xiao was out of control for a very long time. After a brief period of lucidity, he committed suicide.

The suicide of the Chixiao God King made the elders of the sect who left the message very sad, because if he had not returned to the sect ruins, with the slight pollution he had suffered, he might have achieved the ultimate realm in the future and completely got rid of the loss of control caused by pollution. "Teacher, the Chixiao God King said that the Zongzi would come back. Does it mean that the Zongzi would be reincarnated and cultivate again?" Yanli Hou asked.

"Zongzi has the best relationship with Divine King Chixiao. Perhaps Zongzi left some tricks behind, which made Divine King Chixiao return to the Zongmen ruins."

Elder Xingguang murmured, "If he is really the Zongzi, then it proves that Divine King Chixiao was right. The Zongzi is really back."

"Teacher, should I still stay here now?" asked Yanli Hou.

"Forget it, go back and meet him again..." Starlight Elder shook his head slightly, then took out a token, "Give this token to him. He knows how to use it. After all, he was the one who researched it."

"Yes." Yanli Hou stretched out his hand to take the token, "The disciple will hand the token to the clan leader."

"It's still uncertain whether he is the patriarch. Only after I meet him can I confirm his identity..." Starlight Elder turned his back and said, "Okay, go ahead."

hum!
As invisible fluctuations emerged, the formation that originally sealed the palace dissipated, and Yanli Hou could even sense the situation outside.

"Disciple, I'll take my leave." Yanli Hou retreated respectfully and turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the distance.

“Zongzi, is it really you? How did you survive…” In a palace as bright as the night sky, the Starlight Elder was muttering to himself.

……

Menglin City, the secret room in the City Lord’s Mansion.

Li Qi stood in the hall with his eyes lowered, his expression a little gloomy.

He once revitalized the Yuanzhong Sect of the Origin Continent and brought it to a level that surpassed the local tyrant of the Origin Continent and the two ancient nations of Yanfeng and Lei Ting.

Now the reality tells him that the destruction of Yuan Zhongzong in Origin Continent is inextricably linked to him. It is even because he was polluted that Yuan Zhongzong in Origin Continent was destroyed. How ironic!

I do not know how long it has been.

Whoosh!
Without causing any spatial fluctuations, the beautiful Yanli Hou appeared in front of the white jade throne, and was about to sit down but stopped.

The moment Yanli Hou appeared, Li Qi sensed that the other party had returned and couldn't help but look over.

At this moment, the panic on Yanli Hou's face was gone, but he still looked a little nervous, and the look in his eyes was as if he had seen an extraordinary existence.

"Zongzi." Yan Lihou thought for a moment and finally called Li Qi Zongzi. "This was given to you by my teacher, Xingguang Elder. My teacher said that you know how to use it."

Yanli Hou took out a black token with countless complex secret patterns on it, and in the center of the token there was a word "Yuan".

"This is something I researched and refined, so I naturally know how to use it."

Li Qi waved his hand and took the black token into his own hand. He turned to the other side and saw the word "heavy" on it. He then used his divine power to drive the secret pattern on it in a special way.

hum!
The black token trembled slightly, and then Li Qi's sight seemed to cross layers of space and the obstacles of infinite distance, and he saw a huge ancient round table.

Li Qi's consciousness was sitting beside the ancient round table. His entire image was a blurry black shadow, and it was impossible to tell whether he was fat or thin, male or female.

"I haven't been here for a long time..."

Li Qi's mind moved, and his originally blurry black shadow image immediately changed.

He has long black hair, round black eyes, a handsome appearance, and is wearing a loose white robe with a golden dragon pattern on it.

"Long time no see, Starlight."

Li Qi looked across the ancient round table and saw a beautiful woman in a purple starry robe.

When the Starlight Elder saw that Li Qi had reshaped his appearance and that it was exactly the same as the Zongzi in his memory, he bowed his head slightly and said, "Long time no see, Zongzi."

"The sect... was destroyed because of me?" Li Qi asked softly.

"Yes and no." The Starlight Elder replied with a complicated expression.

"What do you mean?" Li Qi still held out hope. He didn't want to destroy the sect that nurtured him.

“Zongzi, do you remember that when you left the Origin Continent, you took the two elders Gu Yu and Xu Shen with you?” Elder Xingguang said in a low voice.

"I don't remember." Li Qi frowned slightly.

The elders of ancient Yu and Xu Shen.

These two are the two strongest elders of Yuanzhong Sect in the Origin Continent. Among them, Elder Gu Yu’s realm is half a step beyond the God King level, and the latter is also at the ultimate level of God King.

If these two elders were still alive, Yuan Chongzong would not have ended up in ruin. After all, the highest power that could be exerted on the Origin Continent was that of the Ultimate God King.

"Don't you remember?" Elder Xingguang reminded, "They were the ones you brought out of the Origin Continent, and they were the ones who witnessed you being conferred the title of 'Yuan Qi' and becoming the eldest son of the Yuan Chong Sect."

"I don't remember." Li Qi shook his head. "I am not a complete reincarnation now. I don't remember many things after leaving the Origin Continent."

"Incomplete reincarnation... I see." Elder Starlight suddenly realized.

Now she finally understood why her disciple Yanli Hou was not contaminated. It turned out that the eldest son had undergone an incomplete reincarnation. It was as if he had never been outside the cage, so naturally he was not contaminated by the existence outside the cage.

"Tell me, what happened to the sect?" Li Qi asked with a firm look, "Did I... destroy the sect?"

"It wasn't you, Zongzi, who destroyed the sect." Elder Xingguang sighed and replied, "If it was you, Zongzi, who destroyed the sect, there wouldn't be so many elders alive."

"Tell me, what exactly happened at that time?" Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

"It was Elder Gu Yu. Elder Xu Shen was corrupted and lost control. He left his cave and slaughtered people in the sect."

Elder Starlight whispered, "Although the two elders are restricted by the Origin Continent, their realm is ultimately higher than many elders..."

"What about me?" Li Qi asked in surprise, "I have a clone staying in the sect, which should be able to stop the two elders."

"Zongzi, you... are the biggest source of pollution!" Elder Xingguang sighed, "Everyone who has been to Zongzi's cave has been polluted, even the elders who went to look for you.

"If we hadn't gone to look for you, Master Zongzi, so many elders would have joined forces and coordinated with the sect's formation to suppress Elders Gu Yu and Xu Shen."

"It turns out that I am the biggest source of pollution..." Li Qi was depressed.

Although he did not destroy the sect directly, he did corrupt many of the sect's elders, causing the sect to lack the combat power to suppress the two elders Gu Yu and Xu Shen, allowing the two elders to massacre in the sect.

"Even if the sect is destroyed, the pollution still remains." Starlight Elder said, "For some reason, the Chixiao God King entered the sect ruins again and aggravated the pollution, and finally committed suicide!"

"Junior brother!" Li Qi's eyes widened, and he felt an irrepressible sadness in his heart... (End of this chapter)
