352: His strength is enough to turn everything around!

“Your Excellency...”

Upon hearing this, Li Tongshen’s heart was filled with grievances that were about to burst forth.

“Smack!”

“What’s with all the sniveling? Looking for a beating? Speak if you have something to say!”

An unexpected kick directly cut off Li Tongshen’s next words in his throat, sending him flying dozens of feet away, rolling a few times before he managed to get up.

Liu Xianyun, who was drinking wine nearby, almost burst out laughing.

What kind of person is this? He never learns!

Li Tongshen smiled bitterly. He had forgotten that His Excellency was a black-hearted person who would strike without hesitation. Fortunately, it was a Clone; otherwise, this kick would have left him aching for days.

“Your Excellency, the Great Qi Dynasty is in trouble!”

After recovering, Li Tongshen began to explain the situation facing Great Qi.

In the few months he had been back, the Demon and Monster Division, Martial Suppression Division, and Qimen Division, together with the Eight Directions Dragon Suppressing Division, had jointly pushed back the Ten Gates of Demons and Monsters and the Six Sects of the Ghost Path, slaughtering several Sects.

Almost all of Great Qi was cleansed, and the remaining Sects all moved their entire Sects out of Great Qi to establish themselves in other Imperial Dynasties.

The hidden strength of Great Qi shocked the various Imperial Dynasties and even more so the Demons and Monsters and Ghost Sects!

With Li Tongshen, who was extremely familiar with the Demons and Monsters and Ghost Path, it was too easy to find their strongholds. Then, by taking targeted action and eliminating their experts, they could quickly dismantle them.

However, after purging these Demons and Monsters and Ghost Path, more than a dozen Imperial Dynasty forces suddenly launched an attack!

Their armies besieged Great Qi, and war broke out everywhere!

Many mysterious experts also appeared, whose Cultivation was extremely strong, making all the border regions of Great Qi high-risk.

If not for Empress Yan Yuzhu’s timely intervention, suppressing these suddenly appearing mysterious experts, the turmoil in Great Qi would have directly led to the invasion of its territory by more than a dozen Imperial Dynasties.

By that time, even if Empress Yan Yuzhu had heaven-reaching abilities, she would be spread too thin. Once the common people suffered too much slaughter, the Foundation of Great Qi would become unstable, and the turmoil would grow larger and larger.

“Listening to you, it’s already confirmed that experts from the Holy Heaven Demon Sect are behind this?”

Those mysterious experts, perhaps only the Holy Heaven Demon Sect had the strength to send them. At least in a Border Wilderness Region like Great Qi, Cultivators of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm were almost non-existent!

Those who could reach the Soul Palace Realm were already extremely terrifying!

The scarce Cultivation resources made it incredibly difficult for Cultivators there to reach the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.

These mysterious experts could only be outsiders.

Li Tongshen nodded and said, “Empress Yan Yuzhu said it herself. Those mysterious experts all reached the strength of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Third or Fourth Level, and there was even an expert at the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Ninth Level!”

“That battle was earth-shattering. A mountain range on the northwest border was directly flattened by the clash between Empress Yan Yuzhu and that mysterious expert!”

To flatten a mountain range, that was no ordinary existence.

Only an expert of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, who could integrate the mighty power of the Dharma Idol, possessed such capability.

Shen Tianxing frowned slightly and shook his head, saying, “The people of the Holy Heaven Demon Sect have probably not truly made their move yet. The Elder who was injured back then holds a not-so-weak position in the Sect. If he comes in person, the people accompanying him will surely be even stronger.”

“Those Cultivators at the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Third or Fourth Level may not necessarily be from the Holy Heaven Demon Sect.”

Would a mere Great Qi Dynasty cause the Holy Heaven Demon Sect to deploy its experts with such fanfare?

Dream on!

This was an Immortal Great Sect that could rival Dianxing Academy!

Under its Sect, who knows how many colossal forces it ruled!

Within a single Qi Mo Sect, the high-ranking members were already above the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Sixth or Seventh Level, and the Palace Master was even a Golden Body Realm expert!

Among the Great Sects and major forces controlled by the Holy Heaven Demon Sect, there were too many experts of this Realm!

To deal with the Great Qi Dynasty, at most, those Great Sects would make a move, unless the injured Elder of the Holy Heaven Demon Sect returned, only then might there be accompanying experts!

However, even so, it was already beyond what the Great Qi Dynasty could handle.

Empress Yan Yuzhu’s strength was very strong, but she had not reached the Golden Body Realm. She protected various parts of Great Qi with her Dharma Idol body, but being spread too thin was a fatal flaw, making it impossible for her to sustain it for long!

If this continued, there would only be defeat and destruction!

“Your Excellency, my true body also believes this, which is why he sent me.”

“Great Qi now appears calm on the surface, but in reality, more than a dozen Imperial Dynasties are all stirring, and even those experts from the Demons and Monsters and Ghost Path have begun to come towards Great Qi.”

“I imagine it won’t be long before warfare erupts again throughout Great Qi!”

Li Tongshen’s conjecture, in Shen Tianxing’s view, was undeniably correct.

Moreover, the analysis was logical and well-reasoned.

Li Tongshen was very clever, knowing that at this moment, he had to inform him of the news, rather than blindly continuing to endure.

Liu Xianyun, listening to their conversation, couldn’t help but recall that domineering, exquisitely beautiful figure.

Empress Yan Yuzhu!

Her strength was unfathomable. Even now, recalling Yan Yuzhu’s actions back then, she still couldn't see through her true depth.

With such strength, even if she hadn't broken through to the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, she was probably not far from a Breakthrough.

However, Liu Xianyun had once sensed that while Empress Yan Yuzhu possessed formidable strength, she seemed to be under some kind of restriction.

As a powerful expert of her caliber, she could completely act alone. Who among the experts of those Imperial Dynasties could stop her?

With her wisdom, she couldn't possibly be unaware of this; there was something strange about it.

“Your Majesty’s strength has now reached a Bottleneck.”

“The Imperial Dao Dragon Qi of Great Qi can help her strength increase rapidly, but it also restricts her freedom.”

“Moreover, each time she acts, her entanglement with the Imperial Dao Dragon Qi deepens, and her own life essence will also be absorbed by the Dragon Qi, becoming nourishment for Great Qi’s national destiny.”

“This cannot continue.”

Shen Tianxing’s words enlightened Liu Xianyun, and she immediately understood the strangeness she had felt.

The Imperial Dao Dragon Qi was too deeply entangled; she herself had become nourishment!

No wonder she couldn’t leave Great Qi!

Liu Xianyun, of course, knew this, but she hadn’t expected anyone to dare to do such a thing!

Throughout history, emperors who could use Imperial Dao Dragon Qi would only borrow this power; no one had ever overused it.

Empress Yan Yuzhu had made great sacrifices for Great Qi!

“Your Excellency, what should be done?”

This time, even Li Tongshen was stunned.

Once Empress Yan Yuzhu could no longer hold out, Great Qi would not be far from destruction. Fortunately, the more than a dozen Imperial Dynasties were not yet ready for a second attack.

When the great war truly erupts, the outcome is unimaginable!

Lives will be devastated!

Imperial Dynasty collapse!

All of that could be foreseen.

“It’s been a year since I left; I should return.”

Shen Tianxing recalled the scenes in Great Qi, feeling a sense of emotion.

Compared to back then, he was now strong enough to influence the fate of an Imperial Dynasty.

His strength was fully capable of turning everything around!

The situation in the Inner Sea was still chaotic, and with a Clone secretly causing trouble, his strength would increase even faster.

There was no reason he couldn't go back for a visit... Shen Tianxing did not leave the Inner Sea immediately. Before leaving the Inner Sea, he naturally had to make some arrangements.

White Tiger Mansion had just lost an Elder from its Inner Mansion; would anyone else make a move later?

And would it attract experts from other major regions?

He had to make thorough preparations for these matters before leaving, only then could he depart with peace of mind.

“Ahead is the Ten Thousand Monster Valley. I heard that some Loose Cultivators gather here year-round, mainly Demons and Monsters, and it is rich in a rare Spirit Stone specifically for Cultivating Physical Body techniques.”

“It’s not easy to enter the Ten Thousand Monster Valley. Qi Mo Sect is currently under siege. Will he come here?”

Shen Tianxing and his group arrived at the Ten Thousand Monster Valley.

The existence of the Ten Thousand Monster Valley was very special; it was a gathering place for extremely powerful Loose Cultivators, and occasionally, Deep Sea Race would appear, with battles between various factions constantly raging!

Precisely because of this, even the top forces of the Inner Sea, upon reaching this place, none of them incorporated it into their territory.

Firstly, the environment was too harsh and not suitable for Ghost Cultivators who Cultivate the Divine Soul; it was mainly populated by Body Cultivators who were Demons and Monsters.

Secondly, the Deep Sea Race would appear here. Once any force aggressively intervened, powerful individuals from the Deep Sea Race would interfere, leading to neither side being able to truly occupy the place.

Shen Tianxing smiled upon hearing this, saying, “Shen San sent word that Holy Son Tian Que and the two Saints of Dianxing Academy have fought several consecutive battles, suffering severe injuries, with his Physical Body almost collapsing each time!”

“During this time, he has been diligently Cultivating Physical Body techniques, and this Ten Thousand Monster Valley is a place specifically for Cultivating the Physical Body. He will definitely come!”

“Saints are all proud, especially Saints from forces like the Holy Heaven Demon Sect; they will not allow themselves to have any weaknesses.”

“Therefore, coming here to find him is definitely the right choice!”

Shen Tianxing’s purpose for this trip was to find Holy Son Tian Que, for no other reason than to give the Holy Heaven Demon Sect a warning!

He was never one to leave a grudge unpaid; on the contrary, he always sought revenge without delay!

If it weren’t for having just arrived in the Inner Sea for a while, making it unsuitable to expose himself too early, Shen Tianxing would have gone to find Holy Son Tian Que long ago.

It was impossible for the other party to constantly search for him, wanting to kill him, while he silently hid and didn’t fight back!

Coincidentally, this time he encountered the Holy Heaven Demon Sect planning to attack the Great Qi Dynasty, so Holy Son Tian Que, this thorn, he would now remove!

“Your Excellency, this Ten Thousand Monster Valley is a good place. The profound body crystal stones inside are the best Spirit Stones for tempering the Physical Body. Even the Deep Sea Race specifically comes here to Cultivate.”

“According to my Family records, the Deep Sea Race and the top forces of the Inner Sea have a secret agreement that no one can break the rules or forcibly occupy this place.”

“We can take advantage of this opportunity to collect some profound body crystal stones and sell them at the Trading Firm; they are worth a thousand jin of divine marrow!”

Nie Qingxue was very familiar with these secret places in the Inner Sea and couldn’t help but remind him.

“Qingxue’s idea is good. We can’t come here empty-handed; that’s not our style.”

“However, let’s prioritize finding Holy Son Tian Que.”

Shen Tianxing smiled and agreed.

The group flew through the air, and from afar, they saw a massive island merging with the sea level.

At a glance, this island looked like a colossal sea beast, lying coiled on the surface of the ocean.

In the distance, thick smoke billowed, and streaks of fire erupted from within the island, as if a giant volcano that had been dormant for a long time was brewing to erupt.

On the island, earth-shattering roars occasionally echoed, and powerful gales swept out, stirring up huge waves!

This sea area had almost no marine life surviving, all because of the frequent battles between powerful experts here.

Except for the Deep Sea Race that could survive here, other marine creatures would not gather here.

Looking around, the mountain caves were densely packed, and in each cave, people sat cross-legged.

Some were Cultivating, others were recuperating, and even more Demon and Monster Cultivators had entered the deep valley.

“This deep valley is located underground, connected to the Deep Sea Spiritual Vein, and even Spiritual Qi is emanating from it, extremely rich. It’s hard for those who Cultivate here not to improve their Cultivation.”

Shen Tianxing, visiting here for the first time, felt somewhat surprised.

He had only heard rumors about this place, never been here, and hadn't experienced its benefits, so he truly didn't know that there was such dense Spiritual Qi here.

The large fires that occasionally erupted also came from the deep valley. Cultivators who encountered them couldn’t extinguish them for a while, and it was indeed extremely dangerous.

However, for an expert like Shen Tianxing, these flames were nothing.

“Let’s go in and see. I feel the Bloodline in my body awakening, full of vitality. There should be other wonders here.”

Liu Xianyun enjoyed the atmosphere here immensely and was a little impatient.

Her Physique was very special, and her ancient Bloodline was stirring, clearly indicating that this place had great benefits for her Cultivation.

Shen Tianxing took the lead, heading towards the island first... The island was almost barren, with nothing but fiery red rocks and dust everywhere.

It was like a desolate island; if not for the deep valley extending into the sea, perhaps few would be willing to stay here.

After entering the island, huge skeletal remains were visible everywhere, shattered into pieces.

There were not only the bones of Demons and Monsters, but also some skeletons that looked like fish and crabs, and human bones also appeared, though human bones were rare.

Most of them were the remains of Demons and Monsters.

“Where did these Human Race Cultivators come from, daring to come to this island? Stop right there!”

Soon after the group stepped onto the island, a cold voice came from not far away, even carrying a hint of disdain!

Shen Tianxing had long noticed these Demons and Monsters. They occupied various caves, with barriers protecting the outside of the caves, while some caves were not protected by barriers, mostly for recuperating injuries.

The one speaking was a man covered in scales and armor, with an icy expression.

His hands were covered in scales, glinting coldly under the light. As he spoke, his tongue flicked out, forked like a snake’s, and his face was covered in scales, making him look like a giant Yao Beast.

If not for his human-like Physique, one might think he was a monster!

“You, a mere scaled and armored creature, dare to speak so arrogantly?”

Shen Tianxing said indifferently.

Human Cultivators were clearly difficult to survive here. These Demons and Monsters themselves fed on humans, and the human remains on the ground clearly illustrated the problem.

But Shen Tianxing was not to be provoked. What if they were Demons and Monsters?

Had he not killed enough Demons and Monsters?

“Hahahaha! Look at where this is!”

“This is a paradise for Demons and Monsters! All humans who come here will only find death!”

“Do you think only I am watching you? All the Demons and Monsters here see you as flesh and blood; once you come, you won’t be able to leave!”
