"Who's there?" Ling Ran let out a soft shout. She was keenly aware that someone had appeared. When she woke up, she saw a figure disappear from the window. She furrowed her eyebrows, feeling that the figure was somewhat familiar.
Just as she was about to call for help, she noticed a shimmering medicinal herb on the table, emitting a special medicinal fragrance.
She only sniffed it lightly, and she felt that the internal injuries in her body seemed to have healed a bit. She looked at the medicinal herb in shock. It was clearly a divine herb.
How precious was divine medicine? So precious that not even the entire Taiyi Holy Land had one.
Even if they did, they probably wouldn't let her use it so easily.
With this divine medicine, Ling Ran believed that her internal injury would definitely be completely cured, and she would no longer have to worry about the danger of dying.
On the other side was a book exuding purple light. A few large words were written on it: Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra!
"The legendary 'Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra'!" This made Ling Ran even more surprised than when she saw the divine medicine. This was because the Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra was a peerless ancient Sutra created by the legendary Supreme Zixia Empress in the era more than one hundred thousand years ago.
It was rumored that the Zixia Empress also had the Zixia Body and had cultivated it to the peak, reaching an unprecedented level.
It was just that, wasn't the "Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra" lost?
To think it had appeared here.
Ling Ran flipped through the Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra and found it profound and mysterious. Although it was her first time seeing it, she could feel that it was perfectly compatible with her Zixia Body, making her certain that this was the real Sutra, and she was moved by the gift.
At last, there was only a note with a single line of words: This is to return the favor in the past tenfold!
She thought of the disappearing figure. She had thought that it was a thief who had sneaked in to steal, but the divine medicine and the "Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra" that appeared on the table were all priceless treasures.
Who was the other party?
Why did he look so familiar?
Moreover, a favor of the past?
When did she give favor to such a mysterious expert?
...
On the Holy Son's mountain where the Holy Son, lived.
In contrast to the sorrows of the outside world, the Holy Son's mountain was filled with joy.
In the grand palace, the Holy Son Zhao Yi sat on the main seat, flanked by the Holy Land disciples who were on good terms with him and followed him.
At this moment, a disciple cupped his fists at Zhao Yi and laughed, "Congratulations, Your Highness. The Holy Daughter has now failed her tribulation and suffered an internal injury. In the future, it is impossible for her to compete for the position of Holy Lord. In the entire Taiyi Holy Land, you are the most qualified to compete for the Holy Lord's position!"
"Your Highness is now on level seven of the Wuxing Realm. No one in the Holy Land is your match."
"Soon, the next Holy Lord will be decided. Now that the Holy Daughter has been crippled, who else is most qualified to become the Holy Lord but Your Highness?"
In the palace, many disciples were flattering Zhao Yi.
"Everyone, please don't say that. The Holy Daughter will definitely be able to get through this. The Taiyi Holy Land needs a true genius like her to lead the Holy Land back to its former glory!" Zhao Yi shook his head, but a hint of excitement flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"Your Highness must be joking. The Holy Lord has said that the Holy Daughter's Internal injury is imprinted in her origin. She is already very lucky to survive and will not be able to advance further in this life!" A disciple said, "The Taiyi Holy Land needs someone like you to support us, not the Holy Daughter!"
Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks
"That's right, Your Highness. Apart from you, who else in the Taiyi Holy Land is qualified to be the next Holy Lord?"
The other disciples also chimed in, their faces full of flattery.
Hearing all this, Zhao Yi's face revealed a "reluctant" expression as he said, "If that's the case, if the Holy Daughter really can't recover, I am willing to bear this responsibility and lead the Holy Land to revive and return to its ancient glory!"
"Your Highness is wise!"
Ever since he found out that the Holy Daughter Ling Ran had suffered an internal injury after going through the heavenly tribulation, and that it would be difficult to heal for the rest of her life, Zhao Yi had appeared very sad in front of others. However, when he returned to his Holy Son's mountain, he would reveal his true colors and appear very happy.
Back then, Zhao Yi and Ling Ran had been chosen as the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Taiyi Holy Land.
Countless people in the Holy Land believed that Zhao Yi would become the Holy Lord of the Taiyi Holy Land one day, and the Holy Daughter was destined to be his wife.
Even Zhao Yi himself thought so.
However, ever since Ling Ran gradually displayed her amazing talent and surpassed him, the light that should have belonged to him as the Holy Son was snatched away by Ling Ran, and it gradually dimmed.
Gradually, everyone in the Holy Land believed that the next Holy Lord would no longer be him, but Ling Ran.
As for Ling Ran, she couldn't possibly become Zhao Yi's wife.
Even though Zhao Yi had been working very hard over the years and had shown sufficient talent, the gap between him and Ling Ran still gradually widened. Moreover, Ling Ran's legendary physique of the Zixia Body had also gradually shown her extraordinary talent and amazing cultivation speed.
Back then, the two of them had started cultivating at about the same time. However, after so many years, Ling Ran had already transcended the heavenly tribulation and reached the Liuhe Realm, while he had only reached level seven of the WuxingRealm. The gap between them was getting bigger and bigger.
Now that Ling Ran had suffered an internal injury after transcending the tribulation, the Holy Land would no longer have high hopes for her, and they would once again pour their resources into him, the Holy Son.
In the future, he would also succeed the position of the Holy Lord, and Ling Ran would become his wife.
Zhao Yi was naturally happy to see such a thing happen. When no one was around, he would occasionally reveal a happy smile, "As expected, I am the main character of the world. The next Holy Lord will not be Ling Ran, but me! Since that's the case, there's no need to agree to that fellow's request. "
Mentioning "that fellow", Zhao Yi revealed a deep look of fear.
A few days later, a brilliant purple light suddenly burst out in Zixia Palace. It spread out for hundreds of miles, accompanied by a powerful aura, which attracted the attention of all parties in the Taiyi Holy Land.
A beautiful figure soared into the sky. It was none other than Ling Ran. She was as ethereal as a fairy, like a celestial who had come to Earth.
This scene truly stunned everyone.
Didn't Ling Ran fail to transcend her heavenly tribulation, suffer from internal injuries, and was going to die soon?
Why did it seem like she was different overnight? Her aura had faintly become stronger as well. Her aura that should have been weak and dispirited had been reborn and flourished, and it was even better than before.
What had happened?
The Taiyi Holy Lord led a group of elders to Ling Ran's side. They could feel that Ling Ran had changed a lot since yesterday. She did not seem weak at all.

Moreover, they could clearly feel waves of powerful energy continuously bursting out of Ling Ran's body. Although they were all in the Liuhe Realm, many Supreme Elders' expressions changed slightly at this moment. This was because Ling Ran's aura was not much weaker than theirs, old Grandmasters who had been in the Liuhe Realm for hundreds of years. Rather, it was even stronger, which shouldn't be.
The Taiyi Holy Lord looked at Ling Ran and said in surprise, "Ling Ran, have you recovered from your internal injuries?"
Ling Ran nodded, saying in an aloof manner, "Thank you for your concern, Holy Lord, and all the elders. My internal injury has already healed!"
Hearing this, even though the Taiyi Holy Lord and the other elders had already guessed it, they were still shocked.
The Holy Son, Zhao Yi, couldn't help but exclaim, "This is impossible!"
Chapter 17:
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Taiyi Holy Lord glanced at Zhao Yi coldly, and the latter came back to his senses, "I'm naturally very happy that junior sister Ling Ran's internal injuries have recovered. I just found it unbelievable that she can be cured without the help of divine medicine or a Venerable in the Path of Life. I'm sorry for my slip of the tongue just now, and I hope that everyone can forgive me. "
The Taiyi Holy Lord and the others also found it unbelievable. They looked at Ling Ran and said in surprise, "Ling Ran, how did you recover?"
They simply couldn't figure out how Ling Ran had healed her injuries. After all, no one in the entire Taiyi Holy Land was able to help her.
Ling Ran had already thought of an explanation for this. She said, "A few days ago when I was recuperating, an expert broke into Zixia Palace and said that I had the Zixia Body and would inherit the orthodoxy of the Zixia Empress in the future. That expert gave me the "Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra" and a divine medicine to help me resolve my internal injuries. He helped me to cultivate a sutra that is perfectly compatible with the Zixia Body!"
Naturally, this was a lie. But if she didn't say so, it would be difficult to explain this matter.
After all, these two treasures had been sent to her for no reason on the excuse that it was repaying her past kindness.
To be honest, Ling Ran could not think of what abilities she had to have done something that amounted to doing a favor for the mysterious expert.
On the other hand, she was also interested in the position of the Holy Lord and carrying out reforms for the Taiyi Holy Land. Therefore, she deliberately borrowed the Zixia Empress' name.
Although it was a lie, it was not much different from the truth. The only lie was that she had inherited the orthodoxy of the Zixia Empress.
However, the Holy Lord Taiyi and the others could only know the truth if they asked the Zixia Empress's descendants directly.
Zixia Empress's orthodoxy was far away in God's Forbidden Ground, not in the Canglan Continent. So, how could they find them?
Moreover, Zixia Empress was a Supreme, and the orthodoxy she left behind could be considered an immortal Holy Land where there were extreme Emperor soldiers, making it far stronger than the current Taiyi Holy Land. The Taiyi Holy Land simply did not dare to ask.
Besides, the Taiyi Holy Land regarded Ling Ran as their future Holy Lord, and with this news, they were more than happy for her. How would they go and ask about this?
Sure enough, after hearing this news, the Taiyi Saint Lord and the Supreme Elders were very pleasantly surprised. They were happy that Ling Ran's injury had been cured and that she could get the orthodoxy of the Zixia Empress.
The Zixia Empress was a famous Supreme in history. Although she did not become an Emperor in the end, she had ruled the great universe for some time and left her name in history.
It was definitely her good fortune that Ling Ran could inherit the Zixia Empress's orthodoxy and become her successor.
On the other hand, they also let go of their doubts. No wonder Ling Ran could heal her internal injury. No wonder they hadn't even noticed that someone had broken into the Taiyi Holy Land. It turned out that the other party was an expert from the orthodoxy of the Zixia Empress.
The news that the Holy Daughter Ling Ran had recovered from her injuries spread throughout the entire Taiyi Holy Land. She was loved by countless disciples, and so many people had been sad that she had failed to pass the heavenly tribulation and was injured. Now that she had recovered, many were happy for her.
"Damn it!" On the Holy Son's mountain, Zhao Yi angrily smashed many treasures.
Originally, he was about to obtain the position of the Holy Lord. He never expected that Ling Ran's Internal injuries would actually recover! This was completely unexpected.
Since this had happened, how could he compete against Ling Ran? It would be even more impossible for him to obtain the position of the Holy Lord!
"Completely submit to me. As long as you're willing to submit to me, I can give you talent that surpasses the Holy Daughter Ling Ran's, and you'll be able to suppress the entire Taiyi Holy Land. At that time, not only will you be able to control the entire Taiyi Holy Land, but you'll also become the master of this macro world!" An eerie voice suddenly rang out in his mind.
It was tempting Zhao Yi.
After a long period of silence, Zhao Yi raised his head, his eyes filled with determination as he said, "Alright, I'm willing to submit to you. I'm willing to be demonized, but the condition is that you have to give me enough power!"
"Hehehe, don't worry. As long as you demonize, you can easily kill a Qiyao Realm King, let alone mere Liuhe Realm Grandmasters like the Taiyi Holy Lord!" The laughter in his mind was filled with endless evil.
Pitch black traces of demonization gradually appeared in Zhao Yi's eyes...
Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks
Qin Chen, who was sitting cross-legged and cultivating in his wooden house, suddenly felt something. He looked in a certain direction and frowned, "Hm? There's actually demonic energy here, and it's even denser and more evil than the demonic shadow in the Demon Sealing Land. Could it be that there are some demonic creatures hidden in the Taiyi Holy Land?"
However, when he sensed it carefully again, the demonic energy disappeared, and he could not sense it effectively.
In the blink of an eye, another five years had passed.
On this day, the Taiyi Holy Lord announced that he was appointing the Holy Daughter Ling Ran as the next Holy Lord.
More than 90% of the elders and disciples in the Holy Land agreed.
It was no surprise, though. After all, Ling Ran was the most outstanding genius of the Taiyi Holy Land since ancient times.
The Holy Son Zhao Yi didn't object at all. He just calmly looked at the Holy Land's upper echelons, including the Holy Lord.
At night, on the Holy Lord's mountain.
In the Holy Lord's Palace, the Taiyi Holy Lord's face was pale, and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth.
A terrifying palm print could be clearly seen on his chest, burning with wisps of black demonic flames.
The palm print and the black demonic flames were imprinted on the Holy Lord's chest. Even though the Taiyi Holy Lord was a great expert at level eight of the Liuhe Realm and had hopes of reaching the Qiyao Realm, he couldn't expel the demonic flame palm print even with his exquisite cultivation.
On the contrary, the demonic flame palm print had severely injured the Taiyi Holy Lord. Demonic energy invaded his body, and his aura was weak and dispirited.
Behind the Holy Lord, the Supreme Elders of the Holy Land appeared one after another. They looked at the handsome young man who was a hundred feet away with disbelief and anger.
"Zhao Yi, as the Holy Son of the Taiyi Holy Land, how dare you attack the Holy Lord?" A Supreme Elder's face was filled with shock and anger, but also pain.
The devilish-looking young man, who was shrouded in a pitch-black light, was none other than the Holy Son, Zhao Yi.
However, the current Zhao Yi no longer had his usual divine and extraordinary appearance. On the contrary, he appeared dark and strange, as if he had been demonized.
Just two hours ago, Zhao Yi had informed the Holy Lord and the esteemed Supreme Elders that he had an important matter to report.
However, when they arrived, they found a demonic flame palm print on the Holy Lord's chest. His face was pale, and he was seriously injured.
Obviously, it was Zhao Yi's doing.
Zhao Yi looked at them with a sneer and said, "Holy Son? How laughable. If I can't become the Holy Lord, what was the use of being the Holy Son? Wouldn't it be better to just kill all of you, and then I'll take the position of Holy Lord?"
The Supreme Elder of the Tribunal Palace was extremely shocked and furious when he heard that. He bellowed, "You evil spawn, how dare you deceive and hurt your Master? What's the use of having you? Why don't I just kill you directly!"

Then, the Supreme Elder rushed forward and slapped towards Zhao Yi's face. His palm contained a terrifying power that could kill a Wuxing Realm Grandmaster.
It was apparent that the Supreme Elder of the Tribunal Palace already had the intention to kill Zhao Yi in his anger.
However, Zhao Yi did not dodge. He slapped a palm out as well and it collided with the Tribunal Elder's palm.
Boom!
A mist of blood exploded. It was the Tribunal Elder's hand. His palm and arm had exploded.
Chapter 18:
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"How is this possible?" The Tribunal Elder staggered backward and looked at Zhao Yi in disbelief. Although he was not as powerful as the Holy Lord, he was still an expert in level five of the Liuhe Realm. He was unrivaled in the entire Taiyi Holy Land.
In his opinion, Zhao Yi was only on level nine of the Wuxing Realm. Although he had injured the Holy Lord, it must have been a sneak attack.
But now, in a head-on battle, he had been injured by Zhao Yi.
This clearly proved that Zhao Yi's strength was even stronger than his.
Zhao Yi stood with his hands behind his back. He looked at the Supreme Elder of the Tribunal Palace with eyes full of ridicule and said, "You're only at level five of the Liuhe Realm. You're not even as strong as Lu Xuan, and you dare to attack me? How ridiculous."
The Taiyi Holy Lord's name was Lu Xuan.
The other Supreme Elders all looked at Zhao Yi in shock. He had defeated the Supreme Elder of the Tribunal Council in a single move, and his words clearly showed that he didn't think much of the Taiyi Holy Lord. Didn't this mean that his strength was far from level nine of the Wuxing Realm?
Lu Xuan, the Holy Lord, took a deep breath and used his cultivation to temporarily suppress the demonic flame palm print on his chest. He looked at Zhao Yi and said with a pained expression, "Zhao Yi, why did you betray the Taiyi Holy Land?"
"Betray the Taiyi Holy Land?" Zhao Yi sneered. At this moment, his entire body was emitting a huge amount of demonic energy, making him look very demonic.
He sneered and said, "I'm the Holy Son of the Taiyi Holy Land. How would I betray the Taiyi Holy Land? I simply can't stand the decline of the Taiyi Holy Land, so I plan to clean it up and lead it back to its peak. It's just that if I lead it under normal circumstances, the return to glory is too slow. It's a complete waste of time. That's why I'm planning to turn the Taiyi Holy Land into a Demonic Holy Land. I'll unseal the demonic palace that the founding master had sealed and wake the slumbering demonic Sage. As long as the demonic Sage comes to, the Holy Land of Taiyi will become a Demonic Holy Land in a very short time. At that time, no one in the entire Southern Desolate Lands, or even the entire Canglan Continent, will be a match for the Holy Land of Taiyi! The Holy Land of Taiyi will finally rule the world!"
Everyone's expression changed.
"The demonic Sage!?" The Supreme Elder of the Tribunal Palace said hurriedly, "Zhao Yi, you can't do that. That's not a demonic Sage, but a Sage of the ten thousand ancient races, a true Demon King. In the primordial era, the ten thousand ancient races fed on humans and harmed them, causing countless lives to be lost. Once the Demon King is released, no one in the entire Taiyi Holy Land will be able to stop him. Everyone here will even be completely reduced to the food of the Sage-level Demon King of the ancient race, and no one in the entire Southern Desolate Lands will be able to stop him! The Taiyi Holy Land's reputation will be ruined if we release the Demon King!"
"Elders, you're thinking too much. It won't be like this," Zhao Yi said.
The Taiyi Holy Lord coughed out a mouthful of blood and said, "Zhao Yi, you've been demonized and demonic thoughts has been born within you. You're a good child with a bright future. You shouldn't demonize!"
"No, no, no, you're wrong. I didn't go mad, nor did I give birth to demonic thoughts. I let the demonic thoughts enter my body," Zhao Yi sneered. When these words came out of his mouth, it made everyone's expression change.
They finally understood that Zhao Yi must have been affected by the demonic thoughts of the Demon King that the Sage ancestors had brought back in the past.
The Demon King must have awakened by now. It was just that he was sealed in the Taiyi Holy Land by the Sage ancestor and could not break out of the seal. However, there must be a loophole in the seal. Otherwise, Zhao Yi would not have been affected by the Demon King's demonic thoughts, and he would not have been demonized.
The Taiyi Holy Lord's expression changed slightly, but he still hoped that Zhao Yi would return to the right path, "Zhao Yi, put down your demonic thoughts and return to the right path. Since ancient times, evil has never been able to win against good. If you become a demon, you will be the enemy of the world!"
"Hahaha, if the world is my enemy, I will slaughter the entire world!" Zhao Yi laughed heartily, his entire person filled with demonic nature.
He then looked at them and said, "Cut the crap! I'm going to kill all of you right now! Then, I'll start the sacrificial ritual and unseal the Demon King of the ancient race!"
Boom!
Demonic energy filled the sky!
Zhao Yi's body rippled with endless dark demonic energy, which swept toward the people of the Taiyi Holy Land.
Everyone's expression changed, "This is the aura at the Qiyao Realm!"
"Oh no, this evil spawn has actually reached the Qiyao Realm. It must be the power that the Demon King gave him!"
Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks
"It's said that the ancient Sages could cut down mountains and rivers with a single strand of hair. It's indeed shocking!"
Having said that, everyone still made their moves at the first moment and struck out one after another, crazily colliding with the monstrous demonic energy.
Whoosh—
The monstrous demonic energy was torn apart, and one divine technique after another hit Zhao Yi's body.
However, Zhao Yi's body simply trembled, and an even more terrifying demonic energy soared into the sky, annihilating all of these divine techniques. In the next instant, he charged over.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
In just a few moments, all the Supreme Elders were sent flying and smashed into the palace walls. Blood was spurting out of their mouths as they couldn't take it anymore.
Even the Holy Lord was sent flying with injuries.
All of the top experts of the Taiyi Holy Land were sent flying with just one move. They were no match for the enemy.
The might of a Qiyao Realm King was fully displayed!
"In my mission to change the Taiyi Holy Land, I'll start with you, Holy Lord!" Zhao Yi sneered as he looked at the Taiyi Holy Lord and walked forward. The demonic energy on his body became even more terrifying, and it covered Heaven and Earth as if it was going to drown him.
Kacha!
At this moment, a brilliant purple light suddenly bloomed!
Ling Ran appeared. She descended from the sky and landed in front of Zhao Yi in an instant, blocking his attack.
Seeing Ling Ran, Zhao Yi sneered, "Ling Ran, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
There was a sharp sword in Ling Ran's hand, and it released rays of purple light that turned into layers of clear light circles to protect the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others. She said coldly,"Zhao Yi, put down your blade and return to the right path. If you do that, you're still the Holy Son of the Taiyi Holy Land."
"The Holy Son?" Zhao Yi said coldly, "I don't care about that position anymore. Today, I'll kill all of you, and the Holy Lord's position will be mine. So, I'll have to trouble all of you to die!"
The demonic energy was vast and mighty as Zhao Yi rushed over.
Ling Ran held the sharp sword in her hand, and her body released rays of deep purple light. Her Zixia Body communicated with Heaven and Earth, and an amazing aura spread out from her. She was actually at level four of the Liuhe Realm!
It had to be said that her cultivation speed could be said to be advancing a thousand miles a day. After all, she had only entered the Liuhe Realm five years ago, which meant she had advanced a level every year.

One had to know that at the later stages of cultivation, every step forward would require more time and effort than before to achieve.
Even The Taiyi Holy Lord and the Supreme Elders in the Liuhe Realm took hundreds of years to reach thier realms. Yet, Ling Ran had only spent five years to reach level four of the Liuhe Realm. As expected of someone with the legendary Zixia Body and the orthodoxy of the Zixia Empress. She was indeed extraordinary!
No wonder the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others thought so highly of her and believed that she could become a Qiyao Realm King within a hundred years.
"It's no use. I've already advanced to the Qiyao Realm. You're too weak!" Zhao Yi sneered and released a palm attack, easily blocking Ling Ran's attack. At the same time, he waved his sleeve, and terrifying demonic energy surged out and sent Ling Ran flying. Her delicate body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, and she fell to the side.
"Ling Ran, you're indeed extraordinary. If you were also a Qiyao Realm King, it would've been difficult for me to defeat you. It's a pity that you're not one yet," Zhao Yi said indifferently.
Chapter 19:

"I advise you not to waste your efforts. I've already obtained the Demon King's inheritance and am already in the Qiyao Realm. Unless a late-stage Qiyao Realm King appears, then only will I turn and leave without a word. Unfortunately, the Taiyi Holy Land has long declined. The most powerful cultivator here is only at level eight of the Liuhe Realm, far inferior to me. How can they compete with me? Since you don't have any experts, you'd better just obediently die!" As soon as Zhao Yi's voice fell, a pitch-black demonic fog quickly shrouded the palace, blocking all light and making it seem dim.
Under the suppression of the demonic energy, everyone's aura gradually weakened. It was difficult for them to withstand the demonic might.
"Oh no! Is the Taiyi Holy Land going to be destroyed because of a traitor?" A Supreme Elder's face was filled with despair.
Although the Taiyi Holy Land had the foundations of a Holy Land and could suppress Zhao Yi, the means they had needed time to activate. No one had expected this to happen.
Everything had happened too suddenly, thus leading to the current situation.
To think that the great Taiyi Holy Land was destroyed not because of external forces, but because of internal strife caused by a disciple who had been demonized. How ridiculous was this?
Yet, all of it was happening right in front of their eyes.
"Die, all of you, die! Sacrifice yourselves and the Demon King will grant me more power!" Zhao Yi laughed sinisterly and attacked the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others, especially Ling Ran. The Zixia Body was remarkable and contained an extraordinary bloodline. If he could absorb it, his cultivation level would improve even further.
When the Taiyi Holy Lord saw this, he gritted his teeth. Suddenly, his entire body started to burn, and an even stronger power appeared in him. Even the demonic flame palm print on his chest disappeared.
Clearly, he was prepared to sacrifice himself.
"Holy Lord!" Everyone cried out in alarm.
However, the Taiyi Holy Lord said firmly, "As Zhao Yi's master, I'm also responsible for him demonizing. I can't let him destroy the Taiyi Holy Land, or I'll be ashamed to face the ancestors even if I die. You guys can leave. I'm here. At least, it won't be a problem for me to stop him. You guys can take the opportunity to recover and kill this evil spawn!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Waves of shocking power surged out. In that instant, the Taiyi Holy Lord, who had burned his blood essence, also reached the Qiyao Realm.
When the Supreme Elders and Ling Ran saw this, although they were extremely sorrowful, they knew that this was the only way out. Tears fell down their faces as they turned around and wanted to leave.
Terrifying battle ripples were behind them.
However, they didn't dare to look back at all, for fear that they would miss the precious opportunity and be chased and killed by the demonized Zhao Yi.
Boom!
Suddenly, the Taiyi Holy Lord's figure flew backward and crashed into the palace, collapsing it.
The demonic fog once again enveloped the entire Holy Lord mountain, sealing it off and making it impossible to leave.
Zhao Yi's body was shrouded in a strong demonic light. He looked at the people who had yet to escape and sneered, "So what if he burned his lifespan to reach the Qiyao Realm? I, Zhao Yi, am no ordinary King."
At this moment, the Supreme Elders were filled with despair when they saw the pale-faced Holy Lord with blood on his lips.
Ling Ran also gritted her teeth, and a hint of despair appeared on her fair and beautiful face.
At this moment, Qin Chen silently appeared on a mountain peak a hundred miles away. His Martial Arts Heavenly Eye witnessed everything and he sighed softly, "The Taiyi Holy Land is where I grew up and has treated me well. I can't just watch it be destroyed. Besides, there are still many places in the Taiyi Holy Land that I haven't checked in to."
As he spoke, he flipped his palm, and a golden needle appeared. It was something he had obtained from checking-in in the past, and it was made of immortal material.
Although he had just casually thrown it aside, it was no ordinary item.
At this moment, Qin Chen flicked his finger, and the golden needle instantly pierced through the void, crossing a thousand miles and appearing on the Holy Lord's mountain.
The pitch-black demonic fog that enveloped the entire Holy Lord's mountain seemed to have been burned by Emperor flames. In an instant, it was reduced to nothing, and an empty passage appeared.
Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks
The golden needle arrived like a bolt of golden lightning.
"This is—" Zhao Yi reacted and subconsciously moved his palm forward to block, but the golden light easily broke through his palm and rushed towards his forehead.
"Shit!" Zhao Yi's expression changed drastically, but he couldn't dodge because the golden needle was too fast. He let out a huge cry in a hurry, and a demonic pattern full of demonic energy emerged between his eyebrows, intertwining into a special ancient character, which vaguely contained a trace of the Holy path aura.
It was a Holy inscription that could only be constructed by a Sage in the Jiutian Realm. It had been given to him by the Demon King of the ancient race, enough to withstand an attack from a Venerable.
The golden needle hit the Holy path demonic pattern and, with a clang, was blocked.
But the Holy path demonic pattern also shattered.
Zhao Yi heaved a sigh of relief, but he still felt a lingering fear. If it weren't for the life-saving means given by the Demon King, he would have been dead this time.
At the same time, his face turned solemn.
To think the Taiyi Holy Land had such a super expert. Had its foundation recovered?
But it shouldn't be that fast.
However, at this moment, an unparalleled sense of danger suddenly appeared in Zhao Yi's heart. A second golden light appeared in an instant and directly pierced through the space between his eyebrows. With a pfft sound, it came out from the back of his head.
"This, this is—" Zhao Yi's eyes quickly lost focus. Just as his primordial spirit was being annihilated, he looked into the distance and saw an ordinary figure standing on a mountain peak a hundred miles away. The figure was also looking at him from a hundred miles away, and the other party's expression was very calm.
At this moment, Zhao Yi recognized the other party's identity, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
It was him?
How was it possible?
Wasn't he just an abandoned Prince of a divine dynasty in dire straits?
Wasn't he just trash with a mortal body who couldn't cultivate?
Wasn't he just a janitor?
Normally, he swept the floor in the Taiyi Holy Land and was inconspicuous.
Zhao Yi had never expected that he would be such a great expert.
Crash–
Even after he fell to the ground, Zhao Yi still couldn't believe that the janitor whom he had always looked down on was such a hidden expert.
...

On the Holy Lord's mountain, the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others looked at this scene in a daze. They couldn't come back to their senses even after witnessing Zhao Yi's death.
A moment ago, Zhao Yi had been like the sovereign of the world with monstrous demonic power. They were all injured lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They were even full of despair, thinking that the Taiyi Holy Land would be destroyed in the future.
Then, in the next moment, a golden light flashed, and the great demon Zhao Yi was killed just like that.
That was a great demon, a Qiyao Realm King, yet he had been killed so silently and swiftly.
One of the elders couldn't help but say to the Holy Lord excitedly, "Holy Lord, to think the Holy Land has such a peerless master! He's really hidden well, which senior do you think he is?"
Chapter 20:
Chapter 20 Thirty Years, Half-step Venerable
All the Holy Land elders were excited!
To be able to kill a Qiyao Realm King in an instant, the other party had to be at the peak of the Qiyao Realm at the very least. It was very likely that the other party was an existence that was half a step into the Bahuang Realm. The other party might even be a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm.
If the Taiyi Holy Land had a Bahuang Realm Venerable, it might be able to revive and return to its former peak.
At the very least, a Bahuang Realm Venerable would be enough to make the Taiyi Holy Land inviolable.
After all, it was extremely difficult to produce a Venerable in the Bahuang Realm in the Dharma-Ending Age.
The other Supreme Elders all looked at the Taiyi Holy Lord with excitement. Did the Taiyi Holy Land really have such a terrifying senior?
The Taiyi Holy Lord smiled bitterly, "I'm not sure, but it shouldn't be the foundational old senior sealed in the holy weapon. Zhao Yi's arrival was too sudden, and I didn't have time to summon him."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
They had also rushed to the location the golden light had come from at the first moment, but there was no one there.
The expert that was quite possibly in the Bahuang Realm that had made a move had left a long time ago.
"I didn't expect there to be such a peerless expert in the Taiyi Holy Land," The Taiyi Holy Lord sighed, "But I can see that the senior doesn't want to appear. We shouldn't force him."
Hearing this, the other elders all sighed helplessly.
Although all of them hoped that the old senior would step forward to guard the Holy Land, if the senior was not willing to come out, there was nothing they could do.
Ling Ran was the only one who looked pensively at the pair of footprints left on the ground. They gave off a familiar aura.
She was wondering if the person who had made a move just now was the same person who had given her the divine medicine and the "Zixia Heaven-ascending Sutra".
Qin Chen, who had returned to his residence, seemed to have done something ordinary.
More importantly, he didn't want to show his face in public now. He just wanted to keep a low profile.
Keeping a low profile was the right way!
If the world were to know about him, it would definitely bring about a lot of trouble.
Time passed by, and in the blink of an eye, several years had passed.
It had been thirty years since he had acquired the check-in system, and Qin Chen had also checked in for the thirty years period.
During this period, he checked in all over the Taiyi Holy Land and obtained countless treasures.
He found that the Taiyi Holy Land was really a place of treasure. To think he had gained so many great rewards by just checking in.
He was increasingly sure that the Taiyi Holy Land was no ordinary place. First, there was the Emperor relic of the Chaotic Heavenly Emperor, then there was the quasi-emperor grade weapon. How could this be a simple place?
Of course, because Qin Chen had obtained countless treasures in the past 30 years, his cultivation had also improved by leaps and bounds, reaching a level that ordinary people could not imagine. Unknowingly, he was already in level nine of the Qiyao Realm, already a half-step Venerable.
In the world of cultivation, it was divided into 10 great realms: Yiyuan, Liangyi, Sancai, Sixiang, Wuxing, Liuhe, Qiyao, Bahuang, Jiutian, and Shifang.
Those in the Liuhe Realm were also known as Grandmasters. The Supreme Elders of the immortal inheritances from the ancient families, Holy Lands, and ancient dynasties were mostly at this level.
Of course, the current Holy Lord of the Taiyi Holy Land was also at this level.
Once one transcended the Liuhe Realm, one could be crowned as a King in the mortal world.

Those in the Qiyao Realm were known as Kings. The Family Lords, Holy Lords, and Imperial Lords of the ancient families, Holy Lands, and ancient dynasties were mostly all in this realm. In the Canglan Continent of the present era, they could be considered super experts who could move unhindered in the world.
Those in the Bahuang Realm were known as Venerables and respected by all.
To even barely manage to advance to the Bahuang Realm, the Kings had to go through the legendary Path-seeking tribulation, and only one out of 20 to 30 Kings could survive it.
After the ancient era, Heaven and Earth suppressed cultivation, and the difficulty of cultivation had increased greatly. Countless geniuses had stopped at the Qiyao Realm. In the entire Canglan Continent, the number of Venerables at the Bahuang Realm could probably be counted with one hand.
There was no doubt that Venerables could already overlook the entire Canglan Continent.
Qin Chen was now at the peak of the Qiyao Realm, only one step away from becoming a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm.
This was even a result of his intentional suppression, not wanting to improve too quickly and cause his foundation to be unstable. Otherwise, he would have broken through long ago.
At the same time, Qin Chen was still keeping a low profile. Although he had reached the peak of the Qiyao Realm in 30 years and with the terrifying potential of the Chaotic Holy Body, the strongest body in history, he could challenge those of a higher realm than him, allowing him to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Bahunag Venerables, he still felt that his strength was not enough and continued to hide in the Taiyi Holy Land.
This was because there had been signs of the ten thousand ancient races emerging in recent years.
Now that Heaven and Earth were gradually recovering and the Dharma-Ending Age was about to end, the ten thousand ancient races would definitely choose to appear in this era. By then, many Kings and Venerbales would appear, as well as Jiutian Realm Sages. Qin Chen was currently only a peak King on level nine of the Qiyao Realm. He was nothing even in front of Venerables in the Bahuang Realm, let alone Sages in the Jiutian Realm, who were rumored to be able to kill a King in the Qiyao Realm with a single strand of hair.
Therefore, at the current stage, Qin Chen still felt that he had to keep a low profile. He had to become a Jiutian Realm Sage who had proven his path, or even better, reach Shifang Divine Realm before barely showing himself.
Of course, it would be best if he could become an Emperor who had proven his path. Then, he could be invincible.
All this time, to confuse the others in the Holy Land, Qin Chen would continue to check in while making his appearance look older. However, because he could practice martial arts, he only looked forty years old. The fact that he could not cultivate successfully even after 30 years made the other people in the Taiyi Holy Land even more disappointed in Qin Chen, who was already an abandoned Prince. So of course, they did not pay attention to him and let him continue to sweep the floor.
As for the senior servant, Qin Chen had silently transferred some divine power into him to cleanse his meridians and marrow. The other party could now cultivate, but he had only reached the Liangyi Realm. Though, his lifespan had increased a lot.
After all, he had helped Qin Chen before, so Qin Chen naturally did not want to watch him die of old age.
But he couldn't let the old servant's cultivation increase too quickly, or else it would arouse suspicion.
"I'm already on level nine of the Qiyao Realm. The next step is to break through to the Bahuang Realm. It's said that to reach that realm, one has to seek one's path, cutting off a part of one's self, be it emotions, or demonic barriers, and so on. But it will also be a narrow escape, and there is the danger of death. Of course, as far as I'm concerned, with the system, it's destined that there won't be much danger," Qin Chen mumbled to himself as he lay on the wooden bed. He looked at the starry sky through the window. He had decided that his next step would be to seek his path, sever all the shackles, and walk on the path of the strongest.
On this day, Qin Chen went to the Taiyi Main Hall to sweep the floor as usual.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully checking in. You have received the check-in reward: Baoshan Seal!)
[Note: as the host has checked in multiple times at the Taiyi Main Hall, the host can not proceed with the next check-in!]
This was already the umpteenth time Qin Chen had checked in at the Taiyi Main Hall, and he was slightly taken aback when he heard the system's voice.
However, in the past thirty years, he had checked in at least a hundred times here, so no matter how powerful the divinity here was, it should have been exhausted.
It was fine though, he would just not check in at the Taiyi Main Hall in the future.
All of a sudden, a beautiful figure descended from the sky and landed in the Taiyi Main Hall, attracting the attention of many disciples.
