After practicing Qi for a thousand years, one can finally become a god!

Chapter 243 Four Years Later [End of this volume!]

Time is like water.

fleeting.

In the blink of an eye, four years have passed since the Netherworld Sect was destroyed.

Over four years.

The world changes.

The Netherworld Sect gradually became a thing of the past.

The former pattern of the five major powers in the barbarian lands is no more.

A vast and untamed frontier.

Instead, there is one superpower and four strong teams.

The four strongest are the four sects.

Jian Zong.

Mozong.

Ghost Sect.

Poison Sect.

The first super power is the Celestial Court.

Over the past four years, the Celestial Court has grown rapidly.

Heavenly soldiers and generals appeared like clouds and rain.

Various masters have emerged one after another.

among them.

It is worth mentioning the four divine envoys of 'Wind, Fire, Thunder and Lightning', a total of 112 people. It is said that they were all personally enlightened by 'Immortal Emperor' Qi Sheng, and each of them possesses part of the strength of the Immortal Emperor.

Looking across the vast wilderness, he is virtually invincible and rarely encounters a worthy opponent.

The Four Divine Envoys, also known as the Four Directional Divine Envoys, are scattered across the four regions of the east, west, south, and north. They lead a large group of people and are dedicated to fighting against demons and monsters that harm mortals, destroy mountains and rivers, and disrespect the rules of immortality.

Severe crackdown.

We will never let them go.

For a while.

The barbarian lands were cleansed.

Previously, the five sects dominated the barbarian lands, and they themselves were either demonic or neither righteous nor evil.

In short.

If they themselves are not on the right path, then don't expect them to uphold the right path.

Therefore.

Within the borders of the barbarian lands, demons roam freely.

These are all renowned figures, most of whom are fearsome and wicked demons, yet they are universally admired and none can subdue them.

To commit evil with impunity.

The barbarian people's concept of good and evil is fundamentally distorted.

The appearance of the Celestial Court.

The appearance of Senjou.

It brings endless vitality to the still dark and barbaric frontier.

Not just ordinary people.

Many small sects and families of average strength, such as the Hidden Moon Nunnery and the former Wang family, have spread their branches and leaves in the barbarian lands, but they are also living in constant fear.

They were afraid that one day they might accidentally provoke a formidable enemy.

Or perhaps they were inexplicably approached by a demon.

They ended up with their entire family wiped out.

now.

This situation has greatly improved.

The Celestial Court established offices throughout the barbarian lands to handle all kinds of reports. Once the reports were verified, they would immediately dispatch people to hunt down the demons.

As long as we remain in the barbarian lands, we will fight to the death.

Heavenly soldiers cannot kill him.

The sky will rise up.

Even heavenly soldiers and generals are no match; divine generals and messengers will take over.

In short.

The Celestial Court has established celestial rules that adopt a zero-tolerance policy towards demons and monsters that commit numerous evils within the Barbarian Frontier.

In just four short years.

A sea of ​​people.

According to incomplete statistics, the Celestial Court has killed more than 200,000 demons of all sizes in the past four years.

among them.

Half of them are demons who can be considered renowned masters of their respective realms.

There are as many as eight thousand who can be considered top-notch experts.

There are no fewer than eight hundred who can be considered top-notch masters.

There are no fewer than dozens who can be considered top-tier masters.

Kill kill kill!

The demons who were killed were terrified at the mere mention of his name.

They directly slaughtered the barbarian lands, bringing peace and tranquility to the land.

The Celestial Court's teachings to the barbarian lands were not peaceful and harmonious; rather, they were met with overwhelming malevolence and killing intent from the very beginning.

Get the head start.

It shocked the world.

In an instant, demons and monsters within the barbarian borders either died or fled. Four years later, the evil deeds that were once common, such as using mortals to cultivate demonic arts, wiping out entire families, or committing adultery and debauchery, have greatly decreased.

I wouldn't dare say they've completely disappeared.

At least 99% should be eliminated.

The security and social atmosphere in the remote areas have improved dramatically.

Quite literally.

Qi Sheng, the "Immortal Emperor," is a living Buddha to all families.

Countless people worship and pray day and night, thanking the Immortal Emperor for creating a peaceful and prosperous world, and expressing gratitude to Qi Sheng for slaying demons and avenging his great grudge.

Immortal Emperor Qi Sheng.

He was at the height of his fame and his prestige reached its peak.

Furthermore, this momentum and prestige are spreading to the surrounding areas of the Barbarian Frontier as the demons and monsters of the Barbarian Frontier flee en masse.

The barbarian demons, terrified at the mere mention of his name, fled in a frenzy.

The surrounding cultivators were overjoyed and flocked to the scene.

Yes!

Who wouldn't want to cultivate themselves peacefully in a strife-free environment?
But it's too difficult.

Even if you don't provoke others, demons will come to oppress you.

You go out for a peaceful trip, enjoying the beautiful scenery, and happen to encounter demons. Just because you glanced at them or because you breathed the same air as them, they want to insult you, torture you, or kill you.

It doesn't make sense.

Very rough.

Just like school bullying, no reason is needed, or even trivial matters can become a reason.

Overbearing.

vicious.

This has always been the case.

It all depends on luck.

If you're lucky, you won't encounter it, and you'll naturally be carefree.

If you're unlucky and encounter this, you can only accept your bad luck.

There's no way to avoid it.

Because this is true everywhere in the cultivation world.

For example, the Righteous Alliance.

Why didn't Chen Qingfeng and the others consider expanding outside the Western Region, even though the Netherworld Sect was a formidable obstacle in their presence?

Without him!

It was only because he had escaped the Netherworld Sect that he encountered the Demon Sect, Ghost Sect, Poison Sect, and Sword Sect, none of whom were easy to deal with.

Just because they left the Western Border, the Northern Border, Southern Border, Eastern Border, and Central Border were all in the same situation: there was the same suppression by powerful sects and rampant demons.

It is better to be still than to move.

Many cultivators who yearn for justice and desire peace are in a similar situation to the Righteous Alliance.

The world is so big.

Where can one find peace?

Previously, there was none.

Later, it happened.

Where?
In the Savage Frontier, under the rule of the Savage Frontier Celestial Court!
……

"His Majesty."

"The situation in the Celestial Court is excellent."

"With 800,000 heavenly soldiers assembled, the advantage is now in our hands."

"The escape of demons has become a trend, and a sense of panic has already taken hold."

"Only four paths remain for the demons—"

"First, escape."

Second, hibernation.

Third, bow your head.

Fourth, death.

"Those vicious and wicked people who dare to continue committing crimes are ultimately a minority, and with more than a hundred divine messengers traveling outside, the customs of the barbarian frontier are gradually becoming more righteous."

"Many people who were once righteous were afraid of the power of demons and dared not take action openly."

"now."

"Under the leadership and call of my Celestial Court, we have also begun to openly and extensively suppress demons."

"Good and evil are reversed."

"The roles of offense and defense have reversed."

"Your Majesty, everything is different now!"

Chen Qingfeng approached Qi Sheng to report on the recent situation of the Celestial Court, his expression and tone quite excited.

Who would have thought!

Never imagined it!

Chen Qingfeng never imagined that the barbarian lands would be in such a state!

Demons and monsters make things easier.

People's hearts are inclined to goodness.

A spirit of chivalry swept across the barbarian lands.

The number of people dedicated to eliminating demons and protecting the righteous has surged.

All right!

Everything will be alright.

When Chen Qingfeng got emotional, he couldn't help but cry tears of joy.

Qi Sheng, however, always maintained a calm mindset.

He gave an important instruction regarding the recent surge in acts of chivalry and demon-slaying in the Manjiang region: "Act chivalrously."

"Slay demons and demons."

"These are all good things and deserve encouragement."

"But we need to be careful, what if someone takes advantage of the chaos? For example, distorting the truth, using others to do their dirty work, or using this opportunity to suppress opponents and harm innocent people?"

"Could there be people who appear virtuous and righteous on the surface, but are actually two-faced?"

"Could there be demons hiding among these people? Or perhaps they've disguised themselves and infiltrated my Celestial Court?"

"I thought."

"The Celestial Court's next task is to continue expanding its victories and eradicating the demons and monsters of the barbarian frontier, while also taking care of building up its internal forces. We must not allow the great situation we have created with so much effort to be stolen by the enemy."

“Demons are outside, so they are easy to deal with.”

"With demons inside, it will be difficult!"

Qi Sheng spoke in a serious tone.

Chen Qingfeng nodded repeatedly, saying with lingering fear, "I only saw the current excellent situation, but I didn't see the potential risks. If it weren't for His Majesty's reminder, I'm afraid I would have made a terrible mistake."

He hurriedly apologized.

As the head of the Celestial Court's Executive Heavenly Kings, this was something he should have considered beforehand, but today he was reminded by Qi Sheng, which was truly inappropriate.

They were really carried away with their pride.

Qi Sheng waved his hand.

Of course I don't blame you.

He continued, "Actually, the best way to deal with this situation is to bring all the chivalrous heroes and demon-slaying cultivators into the Celestial Court. Then, we can use the Celestial Court's laws and regulations to govern them. Our Celestial Court has a regulatory body, and there are rules and regulations for how to act chivalrously and how to slay demons. Although they may be somewhat rigid and dogmatic, when it comes to justice and life and death, we can never be too careful. We must not be careless and cause a miscarriage of justice or tragedy."

The cultivators in the barbarian lands are a mixed bag.

Moral standards are very vague.

What constitutes chivalry and justice?
How do you determine whether to slay demons and eliminate evil?

This isn't something that can be decided simply by touching the upper and lower lips together.

There must be an effective standard.

This standard must be set by the Celestial Court.

And it must be supervised by the Celestial Court.

in this way.

Only in this way can power be 'cage-bound', preventing anyone from using the Celestial Court's call to action for personal gain.

However, it is difficult to supervise those outside the official staff.

Only by incorporating them can they be effectively controlled.

Qi Sheng looked at Chen Qingfeng and said earnestly, "From the very beginning, the Celestial Court has been very strict in its entry and exit requirements, but now it has established a firm foothold and its foundation is in place. Next, it should start recruiting on a large scale and not be too strict in controlling the entry threshold. However, the layers of investigation and supervision after joining must be strictly implemented."

After being recruited, they are then screened.

The capable ones go up, the mediocre ones go down.

Those with firm beliefs will remain, while those with wavering beliefs will be eliminated.

Good people are given important positions, stupid people are not employed, and bad people are killed.

This is a strategy for long-term stability and security.

Qi Sheng spoke at length with Chen Qingfeng that day, providing the latest and most detailed instructions on the many problems existing in the Celestial Court.

He also listened carefully to the opinions and suggestions of the senior officials of the Celestial Court and made important instructions.

The instructions pointed out.

The Celestial Court must firmly uphold the "two justices" without wavering.

First, moral justice.

Second, procedural justice.

We must prevent any malicious elements from using or seizing control of the Celestial Court.

Chen Qingfeng gave a separate report.

Then, at the high-level meeting.

Then came the expanded high-level meeting.

Then, a plenary meeting of middle and senior management was held.

This is the largest conference held in the four years since the founding of the Celestial Court, with tens of thousands of participants.

This meeting also symbolizes that the Celestial Court has officially entered a stable phase from its initial stage.

"Conquering a country is easy."

"It is difficult to safeguard a country."

"It is not easy to start something new."

"Governance is even more difficult."

"Let us all strive together."

……

After the meeting.

Qi Sheng's bedroom welcomed a rare guest.

"Are you going?"

Madam Wang looked at Qi Sheng with a complicated expression.

Qi Sheng asked curiously, "How do you know?"

Madam Wang said, "This meeting came suddenly, and many of the things you said at the meeting sounded like you were making your final arrangements."

Qi Sheng laughed and said, "As expected, you can't hide anything from Madam."

"Pooh!"

Madam Wang spat, her face turning bright red from being addressed as "Madam".

She rolled her eyes at Qi Sheng: "You have to call me 'Mother-in-law'."

"Yes, Mother-in-law."

Qi Sheng readily agreed, sizing up his beautiful mother-in-law with an aggressive look in his eyes.

Madam Wang immediately became restless.

Count it up.

She and Qi Sheng hadn't spoken so easily in four or five years.

Ever since Qi Sheng's identity as Han Fu was exposed, Madam Wang was both ashamed and angry, and then a flood of public opinion from both inside and outside the Four Symbols Sword Sect came rushing in.

Madam Wang instinctively sat like a turtle hiding its head.

He often avoided Qi Sheng.

Even after the Celestial Court was established, and even though she became one of the first 'Fire God Messengers'.

However, he still had little contact with Qi Sheng.

Not only is it scarce.

Moreover, there was almost no private or individual contact; everything was done strictly by business.

Madam Wang intentionally tried to avoid the situation.

Qi Sheng had no intention of pressuring him too much.

that's it.

Four or five years will pass in the blink of an eye.

now.

until today.

After attending the Celestial Court meeting, Madam Wang had a strong premonition that Qi Sheng was about to embark on a long journey.

She realized that if she didn't talk to Qi Sheng about it this time, she might never have another chance.

Yes.

She is coming.

Then, he was teased by Qi Sheng.

Don't even say it.

A playful remark shortened the distance between them.

Instead, it made the four or five years of estrangement between them and the awkwardness of the past disappear in an instant.

Madam Wang smiled.

She relaxed and said to Qi Sheng, "I don't blame you for what happened back then. I'm even grateful to you for the wonderful experience you gave me during those two years playing Han Fu. It was something I've never had before, and I may never have again."

Madam Wang was very frank.

Qi Sheng laughed and said, "If you've met the wrong person, cut your losses in time. Life is short, so enjoy it while you can. My mother-in-law has finally come to her senses."

"Yes!"

"The principle is very simple, but I didn't understand the first part for half my life. Only now do I finally begin to understand the second part."

Madam Wang glanced at Qi Sheng, her eyes filled with amusement and her face with a look of inquiry.

He glanced at Qi Sheng and asked, "Your Majesty, is your sister-in-law pregnant? Does Your Majesty know who the father of that child is?"

The sister-in-law that Madam Wang mentioned was naturally Madam Qin.

Qi Sheng laughed at her, "You know perfectly well why you're asking this."

This is recognition.

Madam Wang feigned anger: "So, you also know who the biological father is of the child Zeng Qi and my mother had in the past two years?"

Qi Sheng honestly replied, "I know best."

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Madam Wang couldn't help but slap him: "Mother, sister-in-law, Zeng Qi, Zhi'er, Third Aunt, and elder sister!"

She recounted them in detail.

The bride's family and the groom's family.

The Wang family and the Han family.

They were truly wiped out in one fell swoop, leaving no one alive.

correct!

And then there's her Ping'er, who was engaged to Wang Ling before her death; she was his fiancée, but now she's with Qi Sheng.

None were spared.

Only she remained.

That night.

Lady Wang, the 'Messenger of the God of Fire,' stayed in the palace of the Immortal Emperor Qi Sheng and talked with him for a long time.

We talked about "Illusionary Light Magic".

We talked about "The Five Lustful Magics of the Gods".

They talked about the scene when they first met at Wanku Ridge.

They talked about the details of Qi Sheng's portrayal of Han Fu.

They talked about marriage and their daughter.

The conversation turned to the fact that their identities had been exposed.

Chatted for a long time.

We talked for a long time.

Gradually, Madam Wang completely resolved her inner conflict.

Yes.

Han Fu is not worth it.

It was never Han Fu.

Madam Wang finally understood.

Let go of that thought.

Completely at ease.
