Primordial Era: I am a member of the Jie Sect, and I am the God of Literature.

Chapter 179: Court Assembly and Government Administration; The Great Shang Army Presses Down on Xiqi; Ji Chang and Di Xin are Only One Step Away

After returning to Chaoge, Emperor Xin immediately summoned all the ministers of the Shang Dynasty.

An extraordinary grand court assembly was held the day after Emperor Xin's return, with an unprecedented number of officials participating.

The generals guarding the five passes, as well as the generals of Chentang Pass, Qinglong Pass, Youhun Pass, and several other passes, all arrived.

Under Di Xin's unquestionable command, even some civil and military officials who had been in seclusion to break through to higher realms appeared in the Emperor's Palace.

"Having traversed the secret realm for millennia, I now reign as the Human Emperor, upholding eternal unity. The traitor of Xiqi is wreaking havoc on the human race. All armies, heed my command! The generals of the five passes, lead your massive armies to press upon Xiqi!"

Upon hearing this, all the generals of the Shang Dynasty shouted in unison, unleashing the murderous aura of countless Shang soldiers.

"Where is Uncle Wang? Now is the beginning of a great struggle between humanity. The conflict between the Chan and Jie factions is bound to be a massive war. If our Shang follows the Jie, how can my sons Yin Jiao and Yin Hong follow the Chan? Are we destined to meet with weapons in the future?"

"Yes, Bigan will obey Your Majesty's command!" Bigan knew what to do after receiving the king's order.

"The birthday of the Holy Mother is approaching, and all officials are rebuilding the Nuwa Palace, the Hall of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and the Hall of the Sages of the Human Race. I wish to personally pay homage to the Holy Mother!" As Di Xin spoke, a subtle glint flashed across his imperial crown.

Upon hearing the king's command, Shang Rong bowed and accepted the order.

The three orders issued by Emperor Xin upon his return instantly set the entire Shang Dynasty in motion, and even caused the fate of the Shang Dynasty to fluctuate.

The Great Shang Black Bird broke through the sky, and it seemed as if this phantom of the black bird was looking at Xiqi as if it were looking at a small insect!

Xiqi Ji Fa's gaze was solemn, as if his eyes pierced through the void, and he saw Di Xin, as well as his destined enemy in this life.

"If my father can go, so can I!" Ji Fa's calm voice rang in the ears of all the officials, causing countless ministers of Xiqi to bow deeply and shout out Ji Fa's ambition.

Although Ji Chang was highly accomplished in martial arts and also had considerable skill in managing his subordinates, Ji Fa surpassed him in this regard. In the thousands of years that Ji Fa ruled Xiqi, the strength of Xiqi was greater than when Ji Chang was in power. At the same time, Ji Fa also won the trust of countless officials in Xiqi with his abilities.

Therefore, at this time, Ji Fa's prestige in Xiqi was no less than that of his father, Ji Chang!

Moreover, Ji Fa was born with the phoenix's cry in Xiqi, and the sacred artifact sought a wise ruler for him. He was also valued by the sacred artifact of humanity, the Xuanyuan Sword. With such double blessing, if Ji Fa could reach the level of his father, it would only be a matter of a word for him to sideline Ji Chang!

As for Boyi Kao, he has been neglected in Xiqi during this period. Although he is Ji Chang's eldest son, he does not recognize himself as a human, but instead lives as the Ziwei Emperor of the Heavenly Court.

Although Xiqi is involved in the struggle for human rights, it does not mean that Xiqi is not human. They are also human and have the same principle that outsiders should not interfere in human affairs!

This is the bottom line, and it's a bottom line that no one can cross!

Once Ji Chang crossed this line, it was destined that he wouldn't go far!

Foreign tribes harbored wolfish ambitions, regarding the Nine Provinces as prey. If it weren't for the sages of humankind throughout the ages who paved the way, and if it weren't for the Nine Cauldrons Formation, humankind would probably not be at peace at this time. Yet Ji Chang actually took the initiative to invite foreign tribes into the country!

When Ji Chang, due to the great conflict over humanity, allowed foreign tribes and other forces to interfere in the affairs of the human race, he ended up in a bad situation...

"The Shang army is pressing in, but they shouldn't make any major moves for the time being. All the troops of Xiqi, listen to my command! Immediately dispatch the army to meet them, king against king, general against general, soldier against soldier!" Although Ji Fa was young, he already showed the demeanor of a king.

"Yes!" Upon receiving the order, the generals of Xiqi also mobilized their troops to head towards the Five Passes.

Thus, at the five passes of Da Shang and Xi Qi, a vast amount of martial energy and murderous intent gathered, attracting the attention of all the people of the Nine Provinces.

After the grand court assembly, Emperor Xin entered the Human Emperor's Palace to begin his seclusion and attempt to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, capturing Ji Chang, and avenging his father—this was a thorn in Di Xin's side, deeply embedded in his heart, and the reason he cultivated desperately.

The Shang Dynasty should not be destroyed in his hands, nor should it perish in the primordial world. Emperor Xin absolutely does not believe in or acknowledge the fate of the Shang Dynasty, which is ruled by both humans and immortals!

As Di Xin's will became more resolute, his martial arts aura grew stronger and stronger, to the point that everyone in the entire city of Chaoge could sense this terrifying power.

Shang Wu, the Second Elder Fu Hao, and the Third Elder appeared together outside the Human Emperor's Hall. The three Great Luo Golden Immortals looked at the situation inside the Human Emperor's Hall and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"I, the Shang Emperor, have now reached the Martial Dao Realm. I shall suppress all ages, make the Eight Desolations submit, and shake the Nine Provinces!" Shang Wu's voice rang out.

Fu Hao and the Third Elder also joined forces with the three Great Luo Golden Immortals of Shang Wu to set up a grand formation with the national fortune of the Great Shang Dynasty as its core. The Great Shang Seal was placed in the center of the formation, and Shang Wu was under its control.

Su Shao Chen, who was in the Imperial Tutor's Mansion, stopped paying attention to Shang Wu's actions after sensing them. Di Xin's breakthrough to the Martial Dao Realm and his attainment of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level was a great trend of the primordial world and also a great trend of the human race. No one could destroy it. Even a peak Quasi-Saint could not withstand such a cause and effect!

What he was concerned about was the fortune of the Jie Sect, because just now the fortune of the Jie Sect had fluctuated considerably. Just as Su Shao Chen was about to use the secret method of the Jie Sect to examine the Qingping Sword, two voices resounded throughout the prehistoric world.

"By the Heavenly Dao above, I, Shiji of the Jie Sect, have now comprehended the Devouring Heaven Technique. I will use the foundation of all things to replenish the creation of Heaven and Earth, gather the indestructible will, bring blessings to all living beings in the primordial world, and seize a single glimmer of life for all living beings in the primordial world. I hope the Heavenly Dao will take note!"

With the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, Shi Ji's voice resounded throughout the entire prehistoric world. Then, with unparalleled will, Shi Ji traveled against the flow of time and space.

Several Quasi-Saints of the Jie Sect and Su Shao Chen also stepped into the River of Time and Space to protect Shi Ji and observe the meaning of Devouring Heaven and Immortality that Shi Ji had comprehended.

Some ancient monsters hidden in the primordial wilderness also quietly appeared in the river of time and space, observing Shi Ji's Devouring Heaven Path.

While Shi Ji was praying to the Heavenly Dao, the Great Luo Golden Immortals and even those above them deduced everything and knew it all. They also knew the domineering nature of the Devouring Heaven Dao that Shi Ji cultivated, seizing its origin, gathering its indestructibility, and cutting off a thread of heavenly secrets...

This doesn't seem like the orthodox teachings of the Xuanmen at all, but Shiji is a disciple of a sage, so she represents the Xuanmen, and her teachings are the orthodox teachings of the Xuanmen!

There was no particular reason; it was simply because she had the powerful Tongtian Sect Master behind her, so even those who had objections remained silent.

"Hmph, this method is wicked and its power is unparalleled in the primordial world. You only know how to teach such skills!" But some people were not afraid. The cold voice of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable rang in Tongtian's ears.

"Do you wish to taste the sharpness of my sword once more?" Tongtian didn't even glance at Yuanshi Tianzun this time, and was about to throw the Zhuxian Formation Diagram directly at Kunlun.

Guang Chengzi, Taiyi Zhenren, Antarctic Immortal, Chijingzi, and the others were truly terrified by this scene and all wanted to leave Kunlun immediately... Ever since Tongtian's last attack, it had cast a shadow over all of them...

"After this matter is settled, I wish to personally travel to Xiqi to assist the great cause of humanity and, in the meantime, seek out its worthy disciples. I wonder if this is permissible?"

"That's only right. I've recently felt my cultivation has hit a bottleneck, and I also wish to travel through the primordial wilderness. I'll inform Master once he's finished with his business," Guang Chengzi said in a deep voice. In any case, he couldn't stay in the Jade Void Palace any longer…

The other twelve Golden Immortals also came up with various reasons, basically saying they didn't want to stay in the Jade Void Palace anymore...

"Insolence!" Yuanshi Tianzun roared angrily, then ignored him.

"Haha, I, Tongtianxing, teach without discrimination. All methods that benefit the primordial world and bring merit can be cultivated. There are three thousand Great Daos, and every one can lead to my realm. Could the Dao Ancestor have bestowed upon me the Immortal Slaughtering Technique in the past also be an anomaly?"

No one dares to deny the words of a sage. Just look at how the Western Sage Zhunti slaughtered people at will, and how he surrounded Kunlun Mountain and beat up the Primordial Sage. In the entire prehistoric world, perhaps only the Tongtian Sect Leader could do such a thing...
