Chapter 466 The Ancient Empress, Strikes!

The feeling you get from the approval of different people is different.

If an ordinary rogue cultivator ran up to Yao Guang and said he had high hopes for him and believed that he would definitely achieve great things in the future, Yao Guang would not be moved in the slightest. He might even think that the other person was crazy.

But if Qin Sheng said something similar, it would be a completely different story.

Yao Guang only fought Qin Sheng once, but he was defeated and his world was plunged into darkness. Since then, he has lived in Dong Xian's shadow until he could no longer even see his back.

The feeling of working so hard in cultivation, yet being unable to catch up with Qin Sheng no matter what, and being able to watch the gap widen helplessly, was extremely despairing.

Especially since Qin Sheng had interactions with Da Yue Liang and the others during this process, but had never seen Yao Guang, this undoubtedly made him feel that he was being looked down upon and ignored.

Am I really not good enough?
Now that Qin Sheng, having just attained the Dao, was praising him so highly, Yao Guang felt strangely flattered.

The Holy Son values ​​me.

"Of all the young disciples in the entire Holy Land, you are the one I have the most faith in. You are very capable, and our entire lineage supports you. That's why we must let you come out to select the Holy Son."

Qin Sheng said seriously, "If no one else challenges you for the position of Holy Son, that's fine. But if someone does step forward, I hope you won't let us down."

"In a battle against someone of the same realm, I am confident that I am no weaker than anyone else," Yao Guang said in a deep voice.

Does this mean that I, the Holy Lord, am included in this statement?
Qin Sheng suspected that Yao Guang was using a metaphor.

But it doesn't matter, since he can never reach the same level as Yao Guang anyway. If such fantasies can motivate Yao Guang to cultivate more, then that's a good thing.

In the original story, Yao Guang didn't actually make a move very often. Compared to Da Yue Liang and others, they were very low-key and unfathomable. After all, they were a ruthless lineage that couldn't be brought into the light, but their strength was undeniable.

Qin Sheng could naturally see that Yao Guang was now also in the Immortal Realm, and his minor realm was even higher than Yao Xi's. Among his peers in the Holy Land, there was no disciple more talented or stronger than him.

It's not that Yao Guang's talent is lacking that she's only at the Immortal Realm One; it's just that geniuses in the Eastern Wilderness start much, much slower, and need more time.

One of the Beidou cultivators' ideas was quite correct: once the barrier of severing the path blocked the people at the front, those behind would naturally have a chance to catch up.

Severing the Heavenly Barrier, all beings are equal.

This applies to everyone except Qin Sheng.

"The era to come is destined to be turbulent, overturning old perceptions. After I become the Holy Lord, it will be inconvenient for me to fight against the younger generation, as that would be tantamount to the strong bullying the weak," Qin Sheng said with a smile.
"The task of competing with all the prodigies and upholding the prestige of the Holy Land will fall on you and the Holy Maiden."

Work hard, and I, the Holy Lord, will buy my little girl some new clothes next year.

I, as the Holy Lord, issue commands, while you, as the Holy Son, toil away outside; both are serving the Ancestor.

"But remember, don't ignore what I said before. Reorganizing the Holy Land is imperative, and our lineage is no exception." Qin Sheng's tone became more serious.

Qin Sheng's optimism about Yao Guang does not mean he will indulge or tolerate him.

Under the leadership of our Holy Lord and Ancestor Nan, the Yao Guang Holy Land can function without anyone; no one is irreplaceable.

If you really make a mistake, there are plenty of people who will take the position of Holy Son!

“I understand,” Yao Guang nodded.

He has only cultivated the Undying Heavenly Art and has not cultivated the Devouring Heaven Demon Art. This is the path that the Ruthless lineage arranged for Yao Guang.

In the original timeline, Yao Guang should have embarked on a different path after Hua Yunfei was killed by Ye Fan and could no longer harvest the Devouring Heaven Dao Fruit.

Master Ye showed no mercy when it came to killing the Ruthless Clan. The two most outstanding members of the Ruthless Clan, Xiao Fei and Xiao Guang, both died at his hands.

"Hua Yunfei..." Yao Guang also mentioned this person.

"I told you I'd give him freedom. From now on, just pretend he doesn't exist. How can someone who constantly pins their hopes on unorthodox methods truly transform into a heavenly dragon, soaring across the sky?" Qin Sheng said, looking at the fish swimming in the spring.

"Why should I say that this era is different? Do you think that the geniuses emerging from Beidou now are all there are?"

"No, in the next ten or fifty years, even more outstanding individuals will emerge, and various special physiques and ancient bloodlines will be revived, making it far more brilliant than it is now. Just like this spiritual spring, there are many fish swimming around, but the real young dragon has not yet been born."

"You have great talent, but a person's strength lies not only in their physical attributes, but also in their mind and will."

When Qin Sheng said these words, he had clearly taken a different perspective, separating himself from the group of geniuses and transforming himself into a senior expert.

Tosen no longer had any intention of getting involved in the power struggles among the younger generation.

In the future, Yao Guang and Yao Xi will fight for him, conquering the young people, while Qin Sheng is already considering the ancient races as his opponents.

He only fights old guys.

“The mind.” Yao Guang fell into deep thought, and spoke after a moment.

"Holy Son, may I ask you a question?"

It's perfectly acceptable for a junior immortal to seek guidance from a king of immortals; it's in accordance with proper etiquette.

"explain."

"How exactly should one cultivate the Devouring Heaven Demon Art or the Undying Heaven Art?" This was a question that had always lingered in Yao Guang's mind.

He admitted that Qin Sheng's talent far surpassed his own, and that the Devouring Heaven Demon Art was only a part of Dongxian's strength.

But Qin Sheng's cultivation of demonic arts was clearly different from others, and Yao Guang really wanted to know why.

As for the reason that a ruthless person's will is always by their side, providing warmth like that of family, Yao Guang had also heard the Dragon Pattern Peak Master mention it. His assessment was:
The Holy Son has probably really gone mad.

However, Yao Guang did secretly try to extract the ruthless will from the Undying Heavenly Art and emulate Qin Sheng.

If simply having mental problems could grant someone such immense power as Tosen, then it would undoubtedly be a huge win.

But as a result, Yao Guang almost fell asleep.

"Be yourself," Qin Sheng replied with these three words.

"Take the Devouring Heaven Demon Art as an example. Whether it's devouring the source or subduing chaotic wills, never forget who is the master and who is the servant."

"This is a consensus among all practitioners of demonic arts." Yao Guang frowned slightly.

"The consensus further proves its correctness, and it is on this basis that I have come to understand a deeper meaning," Qin Sheng said solemnly.
You need to understand one thing: I am who I am.

"I am who I am..." Yao Guang repeated these four words softly, somewhat bewildered.

"I don't know."

It's right that you don't understand. If you were in a different world, and you had already realized who you are, you would have already met one of the conditions for becoming a legend. Now that you understand, what a mess it would be!

"It's normal that you don't understand now. This is my understanding, and perhaps it only applies to me."

The main thing is the cultivation of the Ruthless Ancient Scripture. There's really not much to say about it. Without absorbing the origin, one cannot evolve into a chaotic body. Once one absorbs the origin, one is destined to endure the conflict of origins and the opposition of wills.

If you insist on specific guidance from Qin Sheng, then Qin Sheng only has two suggestions:
Use cheat codes, or jump into the forbidden ancient land.

"There's something else," Qin Sheng added.

"The next focus of the Beidou situation is the Eastern Wilderness, and you will be staying here as well. We need manpower to rectify the atmosphere of the Holy Land, so please participate."

"This is also an opportunity for you to establish your prestige."

Yao Guang's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Holy Son was hinting that he would pass the throne to me later?
Yao Guang agreed to the matter mainly because Qin Sheng had spoken up, and he couldn't refuse.

Qin Sheng was satisfied. Very good, he had captured a strongman.

When the Holy Land is reorganized in the future, we can only say that Holy Lord Qin was wise and his intentions were good, but his subordinates mismanaged his actions.

Let the disciples of the Holy Land suffer even more, and let Yao Guang and the others bear the infamy.

……

Preparing for Qin Sheng's coronation ceremony was Li Daoqing's last act as the Holy Lord, and he devoted himself to it with utmost care, daring not to slack off in the slightest.

There have already been rumors that he forced the Holy Son to leave for Ziwei. If this important matter is dealt with perfunctorily, there will probably be new rumors.

For example, he was forced to abdicate, and the hasty Holy Lord Ceremony was precisely to express his dissatisfaction with Tosen.

Li Daoqing was truly frightened; he still wanted to maintain a good reputation.

Therefore, after that incident of three refusals, the entire Yao Guang Holy Land sprang into action to prepare for Qin Sheng's Holy Lord Ceremony.

Lanterns and decorations are hung, flowers are laid out, cranes and birds stand in procession, and monkeys and auspicious beasts offer blessings.

Invitations personally written by Li Daoqing arrived like swallows in the air at various holy lands in the Eastern Wilderness, as well as in the hands of those well-known independent powerful figures.

This caused a great uproar throughout the entire Eastern Wilderness.

The Ji family.

"Young Ancestor, Qin Sheng of Yao Guang is about to become the new Holy Lord of Yao Guang, and the Yao Guang Holy Land has invited us to attend the grand ceremony." The Holy Lord of the Ji family carefully reported this matter to Ji Zi.

Qin Sheng had just expressed his determination to reform Yao Guang, but in the Ji family, there had already been more than one purge in the past eight months.

After Ji Zi was born, he personally visited the Ji family incognito. He remained silent for a long time afterward.

Too rotten, too filthy.

The Ji family now is completely different from the Ji family he once lived in when the Void Emperor was still alive.

The Void Emperor conquered the forbidden zones of life, spending his life on the battlefield. The Ji family never retreated, standing firmly behind the Emperor and doing what they could.

At that time, the entire family truly possessed the demeanor of an imperial clan, combining both power and virtue.

The Ji family compound is now filled with filth and darkness, making Ji Zi feel like a stranger. If it weren't for the fact that the family still bears the surname Ji and is located beside the Ji River, he wouldn't have recognized it.

Tired, destroy it.

Of course, Himeko couldn't really sit idly by. If you think an organization is bad, you should change it instead of complaining.

So Himeko drew her sword and punished her entire clan.

Doing such a thing under Ji Zi's identity is even more legitimate than Qin Sheng doing it in the Yao Guang Holy Land, as there is a natural difference between bloodline families and sect organizations.

If you make a mistake, the ancestor will discipline you. Do you still dare to have any objections?

Not only are they unkind and disloyal, but they are also unfilial!
After eight months, the Ji family, while not entirely transformed, certainly had a much cleaner atmosphere, and Ji Zi, the young ancestor, commanded more respect from many.

If you ask whether the Ji family's strength has declined, the answer is definitely no.

These ancient clans are large, and it is precisely the small figures who are most likely to commit evil deeds, relying on their background to do all sorts of wicked things.

Even if they were all killed, it wouldn't affect the overall strength of the Ji family.

With an ordinary face and an unassuming demeanor, Ji Zi accepted the invitation from the Holy Lord of the Ji family, glanced at it briefly, and nodded gently.

"It's only natural that a Dao-Slaying King with near-Saint-level combat power would govern a Holy Land. Prepare a generous gift and send it to the Yao Guang Holy Land," Ji Zi said.
"I'll go take a look too."

"You want to personally go and congratulate Dongxian?" The Holy Master of the Ji family was shocked and quickly advised, "Little Ancestor, the situation in the Eastern Wilderness is currently turbulent. Why don't you stay in the family for now and wait until you have severed your Dao before venturing out into the world?"

The birth of an imperial prince is certainly inspiring, and such a person is destined to be invincible in the world.

However, if outsiders were to learn of the existence of the imperial prince, it could attract endless malice and he might be targeted, especially by the ancient tribes.

If something happens to Himeko, then the Hime family will truly be in turmoil.

"You don't need to worry."

Himeko remained calm and said, "This is not my time. Nobody knows me."

In his few words, there was a sense of loneliness and melancholy; he was merely a ghost who had survived from ancient times.

It can be said that ancient princes and imperial princes, whether they were domineering or kind, all had a touch of melancholy in their hearts.

They left behind their own world, their family, lovers, and friends, and truly lost everything.

The Holy Lord of the Ji family moved his lips, but did not continue to dissuade him.

Princess Himeko is the true imperial princess.

"Just in case, Little Ancestor, let's bring the Void Mirror with us then."

The Jiang family.

Fairy Caiyun has returned from the Holy Land of Myriad Beginnings. Having severed her Dao, her status in the Jiang family is even higher than that of the Holy Lord.

At this moment, she looked at the invitation in her hand and smiled, "With the younger generation succeeding as Holy Lord, the Eastern Wilderness is about to enter a new era."

The Holy Lord of the Jiang family nodded and sighed, "Dongxian has already taken on the heavy responsibility of the Holy Lord, but Yifei is still a long way from that step."

The Jiang family also has a God King Body, but she was picked up from the ground. Compared with Jiang Yifei, a member of the Jiang family who looks very much like Emperor Hengyu, the God King Body has no competitiveness in inheriting the Jiang family.

"It's a pity that Dongxian wasn't born into our Jiang family," sighed the Holy Master of the Jiang family.

The Jiang family is missing an imperial son, and if Qin Sheng is a member of the Jiang family, he can fill this gap.

However, this is not a big problem. What does it matter if the Jiang family loses one outstanding disciple? Qin Sheng can find an ancestor for the Jiang family in the future.

Their seniority is extremely high, the kind that could scare people to death.

“Inheriting the Holy Lord’s position is a major event in his life and cannot be taken lightly. Let’s take that one thing out and send it to the Yao Guang Holy Land as a congratulatory gift,” said Fairy Caiyun.

The Holy Lord of the Jiang family felt a pang of heartache whenever he thought of what Fairy Caiyun had mentioned, but he couldn't change Fairy Caiyun's mind.

Fairy Caiyun is already considered a member of the Jiang family. She has received the full support of the God King's lineage. Even if Jiang Taixu fails to transform and dies, she will still be the pillar of the Jiang family.

"I heard that on the day Dongxian returned to the Yaoguang Holy Land, he bestowed treasures upon every Yaoguang disciple. If those items were converted into Origin, they would be an astronomical figure," Jiang Yun, another powerful figure from the Jiang family, laughed.
"That's quite a generous gesture. I wonder where he got all those things. They're almost comparable to several parts of the Holy Land's collection."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Caiyun's eyes showed a strange expression.

"It was Ziwei Da who taught him."

"Is it because a great sect in Ziwei values ​​Dongxian and sent him treasures to curry favor? But isn't this a bit too much?" Jiang Yun exclaimed in surprise.

It's as if they emptied their own treasure trove and gave it all to Qin Sheng. Which great sect of Ziwei is so wasteful as to use all its resources to win the favor of Dongxian?

Jiang Yun felt that the person who did such a thing was definitely not a wise ruler, and that he was a harbinger of the destruction of the religion and the country.

"It wasn't a gift; it was what he got after wiping out his entire family."

Jiang Yun: "..."

It really did die.

Yaochi Sacred Land.

The Queen Mother of the West sighed softly, her jade fingers unconsciously caressing the invitation.

"This is truly remarkable. By slaying the Dao King and becoming the Holy Lord, Yao Guang has now surpassed all the holy lands of Bei Dou."

In future meetings of the Holy Lords, all the other Holy Lords were at the third level of the second level of the Immortal Realm, while the Holy Lord Yaoguang was a true king.

It is foreseeable that other leaders will not speak with confidence; they will not only be submissive but also dare not speak loudly.

"In the past, carrying a king-level divine weapon and a holy weapon was enough to keep Dong Xian in check. Now, what in the world can he possibly fear?"

The Queen Mother of the West shook her head and suddenly chuckled, "The Ji family must be in a terrible predicament by now."

Yaochi is detached from worldly affairs and rarely gets involved in the rights and wrongs of the cultivation world, so all parties give them face.

Qin Sheng's strength certainly amazed Yaochi, but they didn't feel much pressure; the two sides wouldn't be enemies.

The alluring Yaochi Saintess said, "The foundations of the various holy lands are not simple; perhaps there are hidden kings among them."

"If Dongxian becomes the successor to the Holy Lord of Yaoguang, it will be too compelling, and perhaps a few reclusive kings will emerge."

For example, the Wang family has a Dark Demon King who sealed himself with a Divine Source Block, and the Barbarians also have a Barbarian King. The former died when exposed to light, while the latter is still at the height of his power.

The Queen Mother of the West shook her head. "Even if there are hidden kings, their strength is mostly a one-time thing that will die once it's revealed. How can it compare to the vigorous and healthy Eastern Immortal?"

"The world has changed. Unless the heavens and earth are restored and all the shackles are removed, allowing others to break through, the Yao Guang Holy Land is destined to dominate."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi remained silent, looking towards the location of the stone embryo. This gestating Holy Spirit was their hope.

Wind Clan, Purple Mansion Holy Land, Fire Clan...

Although the various holy sites and major religions in the Eastern Wilderness had different thoughts after receiving the invitation, they all began to prepare gifts and attend the event without exception.

We've already invited them, so if we pretend to be deaf and dumb at this point, wouldn't that be a clear indication that we have a problem with Tosen?

Are you out of your mind?!

The news of Qin Sheng rewarding everyone in the Yao Guang Holy Land gradually spread, and the disciples of all the holy lands were very envious.

Look at their holy son, and then look at ours, it's like heaven and earth.

He can't beat Tosen in a fight, and he's not even as generous as Tosen. He's utterly useless.

If only we had invested in Yao Guang Holy Land back then!

Who in the world doesn't want to establish relations with Qin?

Not only humans and demons, but even the ancient clans learned of this major event that dominated the trending topics in the Eastern Wilderness through their spies.

Fire Scale Cave.

After a moment's thought, the Fire Kirin, who was cultivating, gave the order:
"Send out a member of our clan who has reached the Dao-Slaying Realm to attend the Holy Lord Ceremony of the Eastern Immortal, to congratulate him, and at the same time, talk to him about the Qilin Immortal Medicine Seed."

The major holy lands may not have any kings, or the kings are all in a situation where they die in the light and cannot travel the world normally.

But the ancient races don't have this problem at all. They even seal away more than one saint, let alone those who have severed their Dao.

Compared to the ancient times, the overall number of people in each ancient tribe has decreased sharply, but those who have survived are all elites.

Those ancient clansmen who have reached the Dao-Slaying Realm definitely have this qualification.

"Let me take a look," said the ancient princess Huo Lin'er.
"This grand ceremony of the Holy Lord of Yaoguang will surely gather experts from the Eastern Wilderness. My presence will allow me to see just how skilled they are. We were born in this era, and it is inevitable that we will have to deal with both humans and demons. Making contact in advance will allow us to prepare accordingly."

"No, our top priority is to sever the Dao as soon as possible." Huo Qizi refused his sister's request.

“The Yao Guang Holy Land possesses the Imperial Weapon, the Black Gold Cauldron with Dragon Pattern. If they act irrationally, you will be in great danger.”

As an ancient prince, he was very confident in himself, believing that his talent and combat strength were second to none, that he was invincible, and that no Dongxian could compare.

But this invincibility cannot be a powerful being who can defeat the Dao.

No matter how arrogant Huo Qizi was, he didn't think that he and his sister could be a match for Qin Sheng or withstand the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron.

"The matter of the divine medicine is of utmost importance. Only you and my brother can make the final decision on how to handle it," Huo Lin'er insisted.

"Besides, even if my identity is exposed, how dare those humans attack me? The Holy Prince roams the Eastern Wilderness alone, and no one dares to harm him."

The mere fact that he is an ancient prince is enough to make countless people wary. To take action against them is tantamount to declaring war on the ancient clan.

Huo Qizi thought about it carefully and felt that what his sister said made a lot of sense.

The trade of divine medicine seeds requires discussion and approval from a person with the authority to make such a decision; a king of the Fire Kirin Cave does not yet have that power.

"Unseal a member of the Half-Saint Clan and have him protect you." Fire Kirin finally agreed.

Dongxian may be strong, but would he dare to lay a finger on my sister?
The Yao Guang Holy Land is ultimately just a pseudo-Emperor lineage without any real experts!
In other places like the Dragon Nest and the Golden Cave, some ancient princes and princesses were interested in this matter; others, however, were completely indifferent and had no intention of getting involved.

Their mentality is much the same as that of the Fire Kirin.

Don't rush, wait for me to develop, wait for me to break through the barriers, wait for me to get my full gear.

……

"Big brother, time to eat roast chicken!"

The little girl came running in, holding a golden, crispy roasted chicken, and presented it to Qin Sheng like a treasure.

"Who baked this for you? It doesn't smell as good as the food we ate in Ziwei," Qin Sheng asked with a smile.

"It's Sister Yao Xi!" the little girl exclaimed.

"This is her first time doing something like this, she's already amazing!"

Then the little girl glanced behind her furtively and whispered:

"But it's definitely not as delicious as Sister Yi's. I'm starting to miss Sister Yi!"

"We'll meet again sometime," Qin Sheng said, patting the little girl's head.

However, the little girl's words did remind Qin Sheng that returning to Beidou from Ziwei was indeed a good thing.

But the little girl lost a nanny and also lost a maid.

Yao Xi is, after all, a saintess; she has her own things to do and cannot take care of Xiao Nannan forever.

"If only a maid would fall from the sky," Qin Sheng sighed.

"That's true."

Qin Sheng and Xiao Nannan exchanged a glance and both laughed.
