The Golden Elixir is A Star, and You Call This Cultivation?

Chapter 1248: Chapter 535

Clad in dragon robes, Qi Yuan walked with a dragon’s swagger and a tiger’s stride, exuding a majestic presence.

His hair and beard were black, his skin red and full, and from a distance, he appeared like a blazing flame, brimming with vitality, qi, and spirit.

But upon closer inspection, one could detect a touch of age in his dignified eyes.

"Your Majesty, we pay our respects!"

The four Divine Grade Soldier Commanders present all bowed their noble heads.

Qi Yuan was the emperor of Rakshasa Country, the sun to its people.

He was also currently the strongest Divine Grade Soldier Commander in Rakshasa Country.

"Rise," Qi Yuan said, waving his sleeve, and his bearing was that of a sovereign.

He spent years in seclusion, cultivating, and paying no mind to governance.

Yet the power remained firmly in his grasp.

"Your Majesty, Shen Lin has just slain the Blade Demon. With your precious life, if you were to personally engage, I fear it would harm the dragon’s body," King Dingyuan ventured cautiously.

Of course, his real hope was for Your Majesty to deal with Shen Lin, while he would enthusiastically cheer from the sidelines.

But he had to pretend to dissuade.

At the same time, he also wanted to know what confidence Your Majesty truly had.

A sharp gleam flickered in Qi Yuan’s eyes, "Merely Shen Lin, who I couldn’t suppress myself a hundred years ago, remains my regret. This time, I shall go in person!"

The Divine Grade Soldier Commanders in attendance promptly offered their flattery.

But inwardly, they dismissed it.

This Qi Yuan, quite the lover of face.

Qi Yuan then stated, "I’ve learned from the visitor from beyond the heavens, that my Rakshasa Country will last for an eternity, one generation, two generations... until the end of time.

As for the accidental resurgence of Shen Lin, he is nothing but the brief glimmer of a firefly."

He had conspired with the visitor from beyond the heavens a hundred years ago.

Accelerating Shen Lin’s downfall.

The visitor held a book in his hands, named the "Hun Tian Secret Codex".

Qi Yuan called it the Book of Prophecy.

The "Hun Tian Secret Codex" had noted that Shen Lin would be resurrected but also that it would be a fleeting brilliance.

Of course, he would not reveal these details to the Divine Grade Soldier Commanders.

Seeing the hesitation among the four Divine Grade Soldier Commanders, a look of disdain flashed deep within Qi Yuan’s eyes, "A hundred years ago, Shen Lin fell to the gods’ encirclement, yet in truth, He was defeated by dark spirits.

Such entities are specifically used to pollute Divine Artifacts.

Any Divine Artifact touched by it will be tarnished, losing its Divine Power, and become mere mortal relics."

As Qi Yuan spoke, a droplet-like liquid appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Deep blue, transparent, emitting a dangerous aura.

The sight of this droplet made all the Divine Grade Soldier Commanders wary, and they each stepped back a bit.

Although the dark spirits targeted only Divine Artifacts, they all possessed ordinary Divine Artifacts for protection.

Should their Divine Artifacts become tainted, their battle power would plummet.

They had suspicions about Shen Lin’s demise, but now, with the dark spirits revealed, everything became clear.

"Divine Artifacts... Even the National Guardian Artifact should serve me. If not for my use, they must be destroyed!" boomed Qi Yuan’s voice.

The Divine Grade Soldier Commanders present tensed, knowing that these words also served as a warning to them.

After all, with Qi Yuan’s disregard for affairs of state for so many years, they, the Divine Grade Soldier Commanders, had each engaged in their own small schemes.

Now, facing Qi Yuan’s admonishment.

These Soldier Commanders understood they had to pay a price.

King Dingyuan quickly bowed his head, looking ashamed, "This time, I retreated without a fight in Dingbo State, deserving of death. I am willing to offer up the ’Hun Tian Secret Codex’."

Qi Yuan nodded.

A white-faced elder with a hoarse voice said, "In my pursuit to cultivate the Wood Life Technique to extend my life, over the past ten years in Xian Yun State, I imprisoned and overtaxed the common folk, harvesting the livers of one hundred and twenty thousand people.

I have let down the people, and worse yet, let down Your Majesty. I wish to offer up the Wood Life Technique and the Wan Gan Pill."

A look of satisfaction appeared in Qi Yuan’s eyes, "You did not let down the people under your rule; you only let me down. Your transgressions, I pardon."

Quan Li was only accountable to the source of his power.

In this world, who is punished by their superiors for offending the populace?

Even if they were, it would be because the matter affected the interests of those above.

Mostly, one is only prosecuted for offending those above.

The rest also began to admit their faults, offering up their interests.

...

"This time, I shall traverse the twelve states of the world."

Qi Yuan’s voice was calm.

To impersonate Shen Lin, he needed to travel the world, letting all the common folk know he had returned.

That way, the credibility of his impersonation would quickly rise.

In the end, he would vanquish all enemies that stood in his way with his own power.

The act of impersonating Shen Lin should be sufficient by then.

The washerwoman elder gazed at the overly young man before her with reverence.

"This humble old woman is willing to accompany the young master on a journey throughout the beautiful expanse of Rakshasa Country!"

After Qi Yuan had slain the Blade Demon, the washerwoman hastily followed him, starting to serve Qi Yuan.

To her, Shen Lin had not fully revived, remaining in hibernation, so it was temporarily under Qi Yuan’s control that such terrifying power was unleashed.

However, since Qi Yuan was in control of Shen Lin, he was the master of the Judgment Assembly, the existence she needed to serve.

Qi Yuan shrugged his shoulders, looking out from the carriage to the vast expanse of Xianlong County, then shut his eyes.

Instantly, a myriad of voices entered his ears.

Or rather, they entered the ears of Shen Lin.

"God, save my suffering child!"

"I’ve already had three daughters, when can I bear a son!"

"Dammit, if the God of Judgment really returns, how will we make money!"

"Just die, just die, all of you go die, I can’t be happy, so none of you should be."

"I hope everyone can love each other, and that hard work brings rewards."

"What a load of crap, God of Judgment, how could he really awake, it must be those troublemakers spreading rumors!"

"Help, God save me." A woman was violated, shouting loudly for help, which only drew more people to join in.
