Then a total of eight array items flew out from the mist, landing in the hands of the Golden Thunder Taoist.

The old man silently looked at the array items in his palms, respectfully sending off his master back to Taixu, then led the empty-eyed Ye Lan, slowly leaving Shenxu Mountain.

One would have thought that the sect was fortunate to emerge in times of great calamity.

Unexpectedly, the Immortal Pill was disloyal, harboring dual intentions, deserving death!

...

Among the twenty-seven prefectures of the Great Nan State, Linggan Prefecture is the northernmost.

Leaving this place, one would head towards the Imperial Capital.

A scholar in a white robe led a black dog, walking slowly out of the Prefecture City, his clothes fluttering and gradually transforming into a flowing kasaya, his beautiful face showing many wrinkles, his black hair seemingly burned away, leaving him bald.

Suddenly a golden light appeared, transforming into countless arms spreading out behind him like a peacock opening its tail.

A lotus platform appeared beneath his feet, carrying him into the air.

The Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva revealed his Dharma Body, yet there was not a hint of mercy in his eyes. He gazed distantly ahead, murmuring, "Where do you think you’re going?"

Why abandon the title of Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Great Bright King and head northwards? Do you intend to join the shaky Divine Dynasty?

The wisp of Golden Thread left behind made him able to feel that person’s presence at all times, though not distinctly, but enough to determine the general direction.

Thinking of this, the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva sat cross-legged, gripping the black dog’s throat, a sinister smile tugging at his lips: "You were gifted with Buddha nature, but lack Buddha heart; a waste of heavenly gifts. Better to be a beast, enjoy endless cycles of reincarnation, only then can you understand the might of my Bodhi Sect."

"Whimper..."

The black dog weakly flailed its limbs. On the road following the Bodhisattva, it almost forgot its true identity, forgot the scriptures chanted day and night, a growing impulse in its heart, an itch in its throat, unable to resist letting out a...

Woof!

It seemed it truly was becoming a dog.

Meanwhile.

Just ahead on this road heading north.

A beautiful woman walked on towering flames, the raging fire like a giant phoenix spreading its wings, beside her stood a young man in a black robe.

Upon closer inspection, one would notice at the center of this fire phoenix was a small, vibrant jade-green branch.

This item was already the fastest magic treasure for traveling across the entire Great Nan Continent, and it was precisely due to the existence of this Jade Phoenix Wood that Feng Xi took on the role of exploring among the three Generals of Southern Defense.

"Though named as four continents, in reality, it is just segmented by the location of the Imperial Capital, with no vast seas in between, it is one complete landmass, hence called Shen Zhou."

In just a few words, Feng Xi gave Shen Yi a rough impression in his mind.

Vast land of the Four Continents, the Imperial Capital seated in the center of heaven and earth.

It wasn’t the first time Shen Yi was "entering the capital." Back in the Nanyang Treasure Land, he also traveled by carriage to the Great Qian Imperial City, where much humor arose because of that eccentric Princely Heir and Jiang Qiulan.

The journey to the Imperial Capital to claim rewards stirred some of his memories.

Shen Yi quietly looked ahead.

Thinking about it, it had actually been less than ten years from start to finish, which, even for a Qi Cultivator, wasn’t considered long.

But at this moment, there was an inexplicable feeling like a lifetime ago.

"Whew."

He exhaled softly, gathering his thoughts.

For a cultivator who had reached the Third Grade, no matter how vast the land, it was only less than a month’s time.

Soon, before him appeared a grand city, worthy of any words of praise.

Its grandeur far exceeded that of the Great Qian, yet it could no longer give Shen Yi the shock he once felt.

He was already a high-standing immortal, vaguely detached from this mortal world, thus these mortal creations could no longer stir an immortal’s heartstrings.

As this thought arose in his heart.

Shen Yi suddenly felt a chill rising up his spine.

Without even donning the kasaya, he truly felt as if sitting on a lotus platform, becoming one of those revered deities or immortals.

Standing too high might not always be a good thing.

Until Feng Xi, carrying Shen Yi, stepped into this Imperial City, amidst the bustling crowd, Shen Yi, who always preferred quietness, suddenly felt a sense of relief, and the chill on his back gradually faded away.

He was originally from the long streets, how could he not blend into the mortal world of red dust?

"Follow me."

Feng Xi led the way, it was apparent that the Imperial Court had already been informed.

"The Demon Slayer Bureau is different from proper court officials."

"After all, we don’t receive formal wages, but rather live by consuming the essence of the mortal world."

Seeing the confusion on Shen Yi’s face, probably not understanding why they weren’t entering the palace to meet the Human Emperor but were instead being led deep into the Imperial Capital, Feng Xi explained with a smile: "I imagine you don’t care for those tedious formalities, so it’s convenient."

"I see."

Shen Yi recalled how, back in the Southern Hong, the East Dragon King had mentioned that cultivators above Fifth Grade were not required to bow when meeting the Human Emperor.

Who would have thought, when truly meeting the Human Emperor, he would have the cultivation of a Third Grade Bodhisattva.

The depths of the Imperial City were not the heavily guarded place Shen Yi imagined.

Rather, it was a refined and elegant deep courtyard.

The reception wasn’t by heavily armored soldiers, but rather a group of flower-like maidservants.

"You’ll get used to it."

Obviously, it wasn’t Feng Xi’s first time reporting back to the Imperial City.

She led Shen Yi, following the group of maidservants into the depths, winding through long corridors, passing through garden-like landscapes.

The light was gradually blocked by the lush trees, making the environment slightly dim, clearly seated in the center of heaven and earth, yet deliberately obstructing the view of the sky.

When the view opened up ahead.

Shen Yi still hadn’t seen the figure of the Human Emperor, but instead first saw several cultivators emanating equally powerful auras, each dressed differently, some even exaggerated, looking nothing like court officials, more like rustic folk.

"These are generals from the other continents."

Just after Feng Xi’s introduction, the few people over there had already looked over, their expressions solemn and unspeakable: "The Great Nan State is also in an emergency?"

"For the time being, it’s still alright."

Feng Xi pursed her lips, unable to help a sigh in her heart. The seemingly collapsing Great Nan State was actually still the best standing among the Four Continents.

With such a situation, it’s no wonder Yang Mingli was so pessimistic.

After saying this, she then led Shen Yi forward.

What next entered their sights was an expansive pond, with no stone-carved rockery, only a section of the Coiled Dragon Pillar emerging from the water, about seven or eight zhang high, in terms of width, the exposed portion already served as an extremely large platform.

In appearance, this revealed section, compared to the entirety, was less than one percent.

At this point, Shen Yi finally saw the Human Emperor... or rather, part of him.

From within the pond, someone draped in a loose robe, half of his body submerged in the water, arms lazily propped on the pond’s edge, as if soaking in a hot spring.

He was facing away from the crowd, making it difficult to see his features.

Yet just this scene alone was described as one of unrestrained extravagance.

Especially for Shen Yi, who didn’t even need to sniff, to smell the strong aroma of alcohol, revealed skin displayed the flush of intoxication.

This enormous pond was actually a wine pool!

The subordinates who were Third Grade cultivators were known to the world as Daluo Immortal Venerables!

If willing to venture out, which one wasn’t a giant, a founder of sects, fighting life and death for the Divine Dynasty, while the true owner of Shen Zhou soaked in a wine pool, unconcerned about his subordinates’ thoughts.

Moreover, this scene didn’t relate to the rejuvenating ruler Shen Yi had heard of before.

As if knowing newcomers had arrived, the man stretched his arms, still facing away, pointing at the Coiled Dragon Pillar, sounding utterly drunk, even his fingertips slightly unsteady: "This thing may seem ordinary, but placed here it can suppress the Eight Seas beyond the Four Continents."

"Gather the essence of the Eight Seas... only then... hic... can a pool of jade liquid be brewed."

"Later, take a ladle and have a taste."

"..."

No reminder was needed for Shen Yi to know these words were meant for him.

He stood quietly, gazing at the figure in the pool, his eyes bearing a slight indifference.
