Sage Monarch

by Stayrr

Yang Qi was the son of the patriarch of a wealthy family from a small town. Believing himself to be in love, he stole a pill for his lover, only to have the girl betray him, by taking the pill and leaving him behind. Caught, his dantian was crippled and left to die under the lightning. This lightning helped him to recover his lost martial arts and also helped him gain a new, divi

Chapter 1303: Come At Me, All Of You!

In the end, it only took one move to defeat Devil-Duke Hercules.

The other fourteen experts' jaws dropped. In the clash moments before, it didn't seem like either Devil-Duke Hercules or Yang Qi had the upper hand. So how could one of them have lost so easily?

Little did they know that, earlier, Yang Qi had just been probing Devil-Duke Hercules's strength and ability. In fact, he had only been using a tenth of his full strength. But that was enough to accurately assess what he was capable of, so he had unleashed his divine abilities and will to negate the power of yin and yang, then inflict a stunning blow on Devil-Duke Hercules.

In terms of fighting experience, if Yang Qi was said to occupy second place, then nobody in existence would dare to claim first place.

Within the experience provided by the God Legion Seal were all sorts of fighting styles and cultivation base types, enough to cause hordes of enemies to concede defeat, much less this one, paltry Devil-Duke Hercules.

After becoming a Consummate God, Yang Qi had become invincible to anyone other than someone with Unbounded will convergence. After that, he acquired the flower of time, whereupon he became truly domineering, to the point where he wasn't even worried about being ganged up on by a group of Perfect Gods.

Even if his opponent did have a special type of godhood, could it possibly match up to monarch godhood?

"You little punk!" growled Devil-Duke Hercules as he struggled to rise. But then blood sprayed out of his mouth and his eyes clouded over. The seriousness of his injuries was obvious. At this point, one of his compatriots flew over to help him, a young woman. Reaching out, she tapped several of his acupoints, then forced a few medicinal pills into his mouth. Only then did he finally crawl to his feet, his vital energy slowly building back up.

"Okay, fine," Yang Qi said. "Come at me, all of you. Fifteen Perfect Gods isn't a force that I have anything to fear. After all, none of you have Unbounded will convergence, so even if you join forces, it's still unlikely you could match up to me. You barged in here talking about enslaving me just when I was thinking of expanding operations in the Wasteland Bazaar. I need some more top experts on staff, and you fifteen will definitely help my expansion efforts."

"What did you just say?" King Blacktooth said grimly.

"I said for you to come at me en masse," he replied, standing there with his hands clasped behind his back. "I want to see exactly what you're capable of. And if you refuse to do it, I'll just force you. I'm going to guess you monsters and wretch-gods haven't seen a truly consummate expert for a long time. Otherwise you wouldn't be so arrogant and conceited. After being taught a good lesson, you'll know the height of the heavens and the breadth of the earth."

"You want us to team up against you, you psycho?" Granny Witch-Ghost said. "If that's the case, I suppose we'll just have to crush you. You obviously have some big secrets, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to defeat Devil-Duke Hercules. And we're going to benefit from those secrets shortly!"

Even as the words left her mouth, she made her move.

She lashed out with her sharp fingernails, causing a black mist to streak forth and create a skull that rumbled toward him.

Yang Qi merely flicked his finger, sending out a bean-sized flame that entered the skull's mouth. A moment later, a popping sound rang out, and the skull exploded in flames, which then shot back toward Granny Witch-Ghost, who screamed in pain as she was engulfed.

"Let the Wretch God Come! Myriad Worlds Destruction!"

King Blacktooth lunged forward, becoming a black streak that shot toward Yang Qi's back, palm extended as he drew on a consummate wretch-god technique. Instantly, an enormous maw filled with razor-sharp teeth was threatening to rip Yang Qi to shreds.

Yang Qi responded by directly attacking the maw with a fist strike, causing it to shatter into pieces.

Arms tingling, King Blacktooth said, "Nine Transformations of the Iron Devil!"

Changing into something like pure metal as black as night, he attacked with a strength that could shatter great daos and cast everything into oblivion.

Yang Qi strode forward, surrounded by whipping winds as he directly met the wretch energy of King Blacktooth with outstretched arms. Instantly, King Blacktooth could sense that his opponent seemed to have unlimited power, making him like a river of pure energy, or a force of trillions upon trillions of godmammoths trampling forth.

BAM!

King Blacktooth was sent flying, his entire body tingling numbly.

RUMBLE!

Then the other twelve experts joined forces to attack all at the same time, releasing such incredible energy that it made it seem like the entire meeting chamber had been transported into ancient times. These twelve Perfect Gods were attacking with such force that they could easily punch a hole right through the House of God Ordainment's god kingdom.

"God Legion Paradise..." Yang Qi said, putting his palms together as if in prayer. As he did, a domain spread out around him, which was something he hadn't used in a very long time: the Superlative Defense of the God Legion Paradise. It was something that no wretch-god could penetrate, and as a result, all of the energy arts that hit it simply crumbled into nothing.

Then, without any warning, the entire room lurched into motion.

Yang Qi and everyone else present were pulled into another dimension in another location. After all, Yang Qi didn't want the Sage Monarch Consortium harmed by the conflict, so he used a teleportation magic to move it to another place.

A vibration rolled out from Yang Qi, negating any lingering attack force and causing the God Legion Paradise to fade away. Smiling, he said, "Well, what do you think, ladies and gentlemen?"

The fifteen Perfect God wretch-devils looked around in alarm, and then turned their attention back to Yang Qi, their eyes filled with terror and shock. Granny Witch-Ghost had already managed to douse the flames that had engulfed her, but she was now blackened and covered with ash. Eyes filled with disbelief, she said, "Y-you... you actually met our combined attack? What kind of cultivation base do you have? Don't tell me you're not actually a Consummate God! You must be a peak Perfect God!"

"You can believe that if you want to. But in the end, I really am a mid Consummate God. My godhood is just a bit different from yours." He smiled. "Right now we're in the depths of chaotic space-time, so we can fight to our hearts' content. Please, don't let me down."

RUMBLE!

Yang Qi attacked again, and within moments was right in front of King Blacktooth, thrusting out his palm with ten different types of power, which were none other than the ten different states of the Sage Monarch Grand Magic.

King Blacktooth had no way to dodge to safety, so his only choice was to meet the attack head-on.

"Egg of the Wretch God!" he shouted. White godpower flowed around him, interlocking into a shape like an eggshell that was covered with sharp barbs.

However, even this did little good; as soon as Yang Qi hit it, cracks spread out over the entire eggshell.

Crack!

King Blacktooth's body collapsed, leaving behind only his godhood, which shot back in retreat along with a piercing scream.

The other Perfect Gods lunged forward, unleashing a host of attacks as they tried to rescue King Blacktooth. Yang Qi looked up and saw a writhing river of wretched evil sweeping out in all directions.

Of course, he knew it was only an illusory manifestation of these experts' godpower, so instead of dodging, he summoned a huge primal-chaos elder-snake, which shot forward and swallowed the 'water'.

As King Blacktooth's body formed anew around him, he shouted, "We have to unleash the Wretched Brain God Art! Only a formation designed to crush Unbounded experts can truly deal with this!"

Unfortunately for him, his vital energy had been severely damaged. However, that alone was enough to prove to him that it would take the combined effort of their entire group to deal with Yang Qi.

The group of experts howled, and the wretch-god river transformed, turning into a spell formation that they planned to use to crush the primal-chaos elder-snake.

Up above, a huge brain appeared, covered with such deep wrinkles that it looked almost like a walnut. At the same time, it emanated a most incomparable wretch aura.

This was the Wretched Brain God Art!

The measure of a person was in their brain; that was where the sea of consciousness was, and where the will and psyche resided. And now, fifteen Perfect Gods, all of them fiend-devils and wretch-gods, were using all of their power to summon an enormous, wretched brain via spell formation. As soon as it appeared, Yang Qi could sense the immense destructive power contained within.

Buzz!

The fifteen wretch-gods vanished, leaving behind only an enormous brain that pulsed with deadly fluctuations. It was a psychic power that could remold anything and everything, and it caused the entire dimension around them to transform into a land of wretch-gods. Tombs and gravestones popped up like bamboo after a spring rain, and bones could be seen everywhere.

Incredible psychic pressure weighed down on Yang Qi.

Then, a strange voice echoed out from within the huge brain. "My brain becomes your brain. Your flesh and blood... become a sacrifice to me!"

All of a sudden, Yang Qi felt like he couldn't move.

It was obvious that these Perfect Gods were using some consummate technique against him. At least now he knew there were indeed secret magics in the god world that could be a threat against him.

The brain floated down as if to merge with Yang Qi's brain and turn him into some half-human half-wretch freak.

Of course, there was no way Yang Qi would be dealt with so easily.

Smiling coldly, he said, "You're still lacking some psychic power. If you had ten times as many on your side, say a hundred and fifty Perfect Gods, then maybe this Wretched Brain God Art would be a threat to me."

Suddenly, Yang Qi vanished, leaving behind his monarch godhood, which rotated at blinding speed as it transformed into a huge cannon. It was none other than the Grand Tribulation Cannon, a weapon that could rock the halls of heaven!

RUMBLE!

A thunderous roaring sound could be heard as blinding light shot out, slamming into the huge brain.

The brain crumbled in the blink of an eye, vanquished by a single attack.

All of the Perfect Gods coughed up blood and scattered in every direction. "Run! Not even the Wretched Brain God Art can do anything to him! He must have Unbounded will convergence! Get out of here!"

"Where are you going? You think Yang Qi lets people off the hook that easily? If you try to kill someone, you'd best do the job all the way!"

Chapter 1304: Wretched Brain God Ar

Right now, Yang Qi's most powerful attack was his Grand Tribulation Cannon.

When the True Devil fought the Sovereign Lord, he had drawn on the most powerful tribulations in hell to create a cannon that could attack the halls of heaven. Just how mighty must a weapon like that be? It was the ultimate manifestation of the True-Devil Unspoiled-by-Myriad-Kalpas-and-Tribulations Body, and as Yang Qi's collection of the Mahātmā Jade grew more complete, the cannon became more refined and powerful.

Yang Qi still had a lot of progress to make, but he'd also come up with a new idea that had worked splendidly; he used the power of the God Legion Seal and the Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth to make the cannon even more formidable.

Now the cannon contained the might of both the legion of gods and the horde of devils. And one could only imagine the might that would be unleashed by a combination of myriad tribulations and the King of Godmammoths.

It made the Grand Tribulation Cannon something completely different from before, with an attack power that could be considered unparalleled in heaven and earth.

In fact, a single blast was enough to destroy the Wretched Brain God Art and scatter all fifteen Perfect Gods.

Swish!

Wings sprouted out of Yang Qi's back, which were the Freedom Wings, the next iteration of the Angel Wings. With a flap of those wings, he became a blur of immense speed.

Pop. Pop. Pop. Pop. Pop. Pop.

Fifteen bangs rang out as he struck all of the Perfect Gods and forced them back together. No matter how they tried to flee, it didn't do any good.

Forgetting about Yang Qi's strength, his speed alone was stupefying.

"Let the Great Necropolis Descend!"

A huge necropolis appeared, which settled down around the fifteen experts. They could instantly sense the immensely solid magical laws that they were now surrounded with, and knew that escape wasn't an option.

As they huddled together in fear, King Blacktooth said, "What do you think you're doing, Yang Qi?"

"What do I think I'm doing?" he replied. "Enslaving you. I defeated your strongest move, unless you happen to have another you want to try. You're completely under my control now, so do you really think you have a chance to escape with your lives?"

"This was all a big misunderstanding!" Granny Witch-Ghost said. "We don't have any grudge with you. We had no idea you were such a top expert in hiding. It was our fault for trusting that third prince of the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty. He wanted us to capture you, then use you to threaten Jadefall from the Sage Monarch Society. Why don't we just let all this stuff drop? We can turn weapons of war into gifts of jade and silk. We'll even help you get revenge on the third prince! Your beef with him doesn't have anything to do with us."

"Doesn't have anything to do with you?" Yang Qi laughed. "You tried to kill me! And if I wasn't so strong, you would have succeeded, and wiped out all my people in the process. And you think none of this has anything to do with you? Even you must realize how ridiculous that sounds. It doesn't matter how glib your tongues are, you're all going to end up as my slaves today."

"Don't push things too far, Yang Qi!" King Blacktooth said. "Don't you know that we're all chief elders from the League of Wretch-Gods? You can't afford to offend a group like that. The league represents an alliance of all the top wretch-god groups in the god world. You really think you can fight something like that? Don't be naive. We have countless Paramount Gods on our side, making us so strong that not even the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty would dare to offend us. And don't even mention the House of God Ordainment. We could raze it to the ground with the snap of a finger."

"Oh? Countless Paramount Gods?" Yang Qi laughed heartily. "You're not very good at bragging, are you? Not even the Sovereign Lord could say that he had countless Paramount Gods working for him!"

"Your House of God Ordainment doesn't even have a single Paramount God!" King Blacktooth replied. "My Master has Unbounded will, and just broke through to the Paramount God level. Even the crown prince of the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty is scared of Emperor Blackheaven! It doesn't matter how strong you are, you're no match for him. And I'm his favorite apprentice. If you kill me, he won't let the matter drop."

"Let's just pretend this never happened, Yang Qi," said the woman who had saved Devil-Duke Hercules, a beautiful devilwitch with green hair and pointed ears. "All of us here have impressive backgrounds. Getting on good terms with us will benefit you a lot. And maybe we could even help you grow your business. What do you say?"

"You think I'm going to believe the rubbish you wretch-gods are spewing?" Yang Qi said, continuing to tap his finger. "You'd betray me the first chance you got. You think I'll just sit around while you go get a group of a hundred and fifty companions to power that Wretched Brain God Art?"

"So, you've made up your mind to be our enemy?" Devil-Duke Hercules said. "You really don't care about the consequences?"

"Look, cut the crap," Yang Qi said grimly. "I'm going to give you two options. One: submit. Two: die!"

"Let's go for broke!" The fifteen Perfect Gods all attacked at the same time, once again summoning their Wretched Brain God Art and sending ruthless psychic fluctuations toward Yang Qi.

In response, he vanished, causing the vital energy of the Great Necropolis to rumble out and create a huge bubble around the gigantic head.

When the powers of the Purrfect God Art and the Great Necropolis God Art were combined, they were unparalleled under heaven.

Screams rang out as Yang Qi reached out, grabbed the bubble, and looked inside to see fifteen pieces of godhood grouped in the shape of a brain. Sending his own psychic power inside, he analyzed the profundities of the brain, which was when he realized that it was actually a manifestation of the life force and genes of those who wielded it.

'This thing isn't complete, but it's obviously capable of transforming my psychic power, and my very substructure. After I get back, I need to do some more research into it.' The fifteen Perfect Gods had spent a huge amount of vital energy to summon the giant brain, so it was now an easy matter for Yang Qi to seal them. Perhaps he could learn something from the structure of the brain, and use it to alter the relationship between his fleshly body, godhood, and psyche. Perhaps that would help in his attempt to reach Unbounded will convergence.

"Let us free!" the Perfect Gods wailed.

Yang Qi paid them no heed. Hurrying back to the Sage Monarch Consortium, he passed along word that he was going into secluded cultivation for a time. Then, he slipped into the depths of space-time to do further training and research.

Without any hesitation, he sent powerful psychic power into the seas of consciousness of the fifteen Perfect Gods.

Soon, cultivation techniques, energy arts, and other knowledge was flowing into his mind. Before long, he knew a lot more about the profundities of the technique. It was an energy art unique to the League of Wretch-Gods, and was the combination of a host of techniques originating with Paramount Gods of ancient times. Those techniques had been combined into the Wretched Brain God Art. By using boundless vital energy and life force fluctuations, it was possible to create something that was like an energy art, but wasn't. It was like a spell formation, but wasn't.

The reason was that, according to legend, after Wretch God Ultimate had been killed by the Sovereign Lord and the King of Godmammoths, only his brain remained. Later, the League of Wretch-Gods hid it in a secret location as an object of worship and veneration.

It was a profound energy art that was different from the Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth or the True-Devil Unspoiled-by-Myriad-Kalpas-and-Tribulations Body. It used something physical to create something psychic, and could violate the void with the quintessence of that which was Annulled.

When experts practiced cultivation to a very high level, their brains would normally turn into expressions of vital energy and psychic fluctuations. But that didn't mean they were destroyed; they still existed in the form of godhood or expressions of will.

That was why brains were said to be either godhood or psychic will.

What was matter? What was a lack of matter? What was something that lacked the lack of matter?

Many profound questions were popping up in Yang Qi's mind as he combed through the minds of the Perfect Gods. At a certain point, he suddenly came to a realization. A moment later, vital energy swirled, forming an enormous brain that seemed to exist between the psychic and corporeal.

Buzzzz.

Psychic power rolled out everywhere from the wretched brain, equivalent to roughly thirty percent of his own power.

'I get it. I really get it.' As it turned out, the psychic power rolling out of the brain was like a voice. Normally, it was low and hard to distinguish, but if yelled at, would become much stronger. If he could master the energy art related to this brain, then when he released his psychic power, it would increase it dramatically, and would make it much more similar to Unbounded will.

He continued his study for seven days and nights.

At a certain point, he received a flash of inspiration, whereupon he understood the structure of the wretched brain, and its power. Any psychic power that was passed through the brain would experience a huge boost.

Yang Qi's psychic power had already reached the peak of the Paramount level, making it immeasurably close to the Unbounded level. By using this wretched brain, he could use his Paramount power to devastate an Unbounded expert.

Unfortunately, he couldn't cultivate the Wretched Brain God Art right now. He needed to study it further. After all, the fifteen Perfect Gods hadn't been using the complete art. In other words, he would need to venture into the League of Wretch-Gods to seek advice from a Paramount wretch-god.

From what Yang Qi could tell, those fifteen Perfect Gods had only been able to unleash about ten percent of the Wretched Brain God Art's potential.

That said, even ten percent was enough to boost his psychic power by about thirty percent. And that begged the question of what the complete version could do.

'This is a good technique. I can't believe that these fools gave me such an amazing gift.' Yang Qi was feeling very excited. Although he didn't currently have Unbounded will convergence, at least he knew he was now in the position to fight an Unbounded expert if he had to.

He wouldn't be helpless if he faced the crown prince; at worst, he could probably make an escape. Furthermore, he was now much more confident of getting into the Nacrelight Sageland and getting that piece of the Mahātmā Jade.

'I still need to keep studying this Wretched Brain God Art, though. I need more than a thirty percent boost!'

Chapter 1305: Foundation Complete

The Unbounded level was considered a monumental upgrade. Even with a thirty percent increase in Yang Qi's psychic power, he couldn't defeat opponents like that. However, he was convinced that, with enough hard work on his part, he could unlock another thirty to fifty percent of the Wretched Brain God Art. After all, his knowledge base surpassed even the Perfect Gods he had just been dealing with.

Time passed as he stayed in place and worked on his cultivation.

Eventually, he physically transformed, becoming an enormous brain that pulsed with such immense psychic power it seemed capable of devastating the highest heavens, and slaughtering both the legion of gods and horde of devils. And thanks to the boost in psychic power, his energy arts became vastly mightier.

That said, reaching the Unbounded level would still be immensely difficult. It wasn't a transformation that would occur overnight.

From what he could tell, his best shot was still the Mahātmā Jade.

"Get out here!" Yang Qi said, and the fifteen wretch-gods scattered, their faces tinged with terror, as well as varied expressions of shock, entreaty, self-deprecation, grief, and just pure fear.

They were no longer Perfect Gods who could rebuke heaven and earth; instead, they were pitiful slaves.

After everything Yang Qi had done to them, their thoughts had been stripped clean. As he experienced burst after burst of enlightenment, they felt immense pressure crushing down on them until his psyche left them powerless to resist.

They had no choice but to accept their misfortune. It was simply their fate.

"Is there anything else you have to say for yourselves?" Yang Qi asked King Blacktooth. "I've taken the Wretched Brain God Art away from you, and deprived you of your physical bodies. Now my understanding of the technique even surpasses yours by many times over. Why not just willingly work for me now? We'll start with you, King Blacktooth. Do you agree?"

"We have no choice but to accept our fate. As long as you agree not to kill us, we'll do anything." King Blacktooth looked crestfallen. He could sense the devil embryo slowly growing inside him, controlling him, like a parasite slowly eating away at him, turning him into the walking dead.

It was no illusion. If Yang Qi wanted to, he really could turn him into a zombie.

"Well, that's good," Yang Qi said. "We need to change your names. From now on, you'll share my surname, Yang. And your names will be Wretch-One, Wretch-Two, and so forth, all the way to Wretch-Fifteen. King Blacktooth, you'll be Yang Wretch-One, got it? You now belong to me, my faithful slaves. Incidentally, your wretch energy is too intense and appalling. If you go out like this, you'll terrify everyone you meet. I'm going to impart a new, more powerful ability to you, which will allow you to cleanse your wretch-god energy and fuse with righteousness. With a mere thought, you can become heroic, and with another, ruthless. Follow along as I demonstrate..."

Drawing on the God Legion Seal, he sent out a stream of golden fire to surround them.

What followed was a hundred days of cultivation in which he thoroughly transformed all of the Perfect Gods. King Blacktooth, who was now Yang Wretch-One, had once possessed a mouth full of pitch-black teeth, and emanated a noxious aura of wretched evil. But now he looked like a stately, middle-aged man who stood tall and straight, a golden cloak draped over his shoulders, pulsing with an immense fighting prowess.

Buzzzz.

All fifteen of the Perfect Gods experienced similar changes, and transformed physically. The sinister Granny Witch-Ghost now resembled a kindly old woman from a rich and noble family.

"You're now my slaves," Yang Qi said, "and you are hereby tasked with administering the business here. Also, you shall hand over any Unbounded medicinal pills you have. Understand?"

He quickly stored away all the pills they handed over.

In total, he now had thirty-two Unbounded medicinal pills, all of which were very rare. After all, even Perfect Gods would find it hard to track down more than two or three such pills.

With this new group of experts in the Sage Monarch Consortium, the business would definitely be safe without Yang Qi there to personally watch over things. They now belonged completely to him, and thanks to the God Legion Seal, no one would ever be able to tell who they were in the past. Their energy arts were more impressive than before, and in terms of their looks and bearing, they had gone through heaven-shaking, earth-toppling transformations.

Furthermore, they all now had golden thrones in the God Legion Seal.

The thirty-two god pills looked like walnuts, or more precisely, like brains, as if literal brains had been shrunk into the form of medicinal pills.

Truth be told, that was exactly what they were.

They were called Ultimate Brain Pills, and were made by Paramount Gods from the League of Wretch-Gods. The concocting method was relatively simple; it involved capturing young geniuses from opposing sects, then refining their brains in pill furnaces along with various medicinal ingredients.

Yang Qi could sense that each of the Ultimate Brain Pills abounded with pure psychic power that made them no weaker than the buddhist, daoist, and confucian pills he had encountered. Without any hesitation, he chomped down the pills, which caused numerous flows of energy to sweep through him.

Sadly, after it was over, he found he hadn't experienced any sort of major breakthrough.

Monarch godhood required even more astonishing levels of power than this.

On the upside, consuming the Ultimate Brain Pills helped significantly with the Wretched Brain God Art. Obstacles were cleared, and new knowledge coalesced in his sea of consciousness.

Drawing on the Wretched Brain God Art, he could send psychic fluctuations rolling out that shredded space, and created dimensional passageways leading for thousands of kilometers in every direction.

He was now at the point where he could at least fight to the death with an Unbounded expert.

"What? The fifteen experts the third prince hired haven't sent any updates? And the Sage Monarch Consortium's business is booming?" The junior houselord of the House of God Ordainment was enraged. He had left the god kingdom in the hopes of personally witnessing Yang Qi being killed. However, he hadn't been able to get any news, and actually had no idea where Yang Qi was.

Eventually, he had simply returned.

After a few months without even a single update, he was getting very angry. Then he saw that the Sage Monarch Society continued receiving huge shipments of materials, allowing its members to achieve breakthroughs, and of course boosting their reputations so that more and more people wanted to join them. The leaders of other factions were constantly complaining about how many of their members were resigning and switching to the Sage Monarch Society.

Jadefall and the others were obviously playing for keeps. It didn't matter who joined the Sage Monarch Society, they were automatically given resources, medicinal pills, magical treasures, and even special techniques, all with no questions asked. It was very different from the House of God Ordainment in general, in which one had to go on missions to get any sort of reward.

Such methods were usually counterproductive, but in the early stages of an organization, they were a great way to attract new members. After all, the Sage Monarch Consortium could provide an endless influx of wealth.

If things went on like this, it wouldn't take three hundred years for the Sage Monarch Society to become the top faction. It would be more like thirty years.

The junior houselord felt like he was going crazy. Worse, he didn't have any idea what to do next.

"There's no news from the League of Wretch-Gods?" he asked again.

The Perfect God chief elder replied, "Not at the moment. They sent fifteen Perfect Gods to capture Yang Qi, but they haven't accomplished the mission yet, nor returned. However, they said that this is nothing out of the ordinary. Maybe we should wait another four or five years to see what happens."

"What?! Wait another four or five years?" The junior houselord furiously kicked a nearby table, shattering it. "By that point the Sage Monarch Society will be so powerful they'll be shitting all over me!"

As the junior houselord vented his rage, the chief elder thought to himself, 'The Sage Monarch Society really is growing quickly. I wonder if I should switch loyalties. This junior houselord always seems to be on the losing end of things. Destiny is shifting, and the Sage Monarch Society seems to be on the way to the top.'

He wasn't the only chief elder to be thinking in this way.

"I'm going to personally speak with someone from the League of Wretch-Gods," the junior houselord said, vanishing.

Meanwhile, the Sage Monarch Consortium had expanded their area of control in the Wasteland Bazaar to a full ten thousand square kilometers. Wealth was constantly pouring into their coffers, and the disciples patrolled the area constantly to repel any invasions. Spell formations protected things above and below, and were powered by noble and imperial caliber godstones. Furthermore, there were other spell formations operated by both slaves and disciples alike, used to create weapons and such.

There were even slaves who were Greater Gods.

As for the fifteen Perfect Gods, they kept an eye on everything. Thanks to their help, the consortium had forcibly recruited a lot of experts to work for them, and business was booming more than ever.

The cheapest thing in the Wasteland Bazaar was life, and with fifteen Perfect Gods to handle things, they could get their hands on however many slaves they wanted.

Right now, Yang Qi stood on the tallest tower in their territory, looking out over the Wasteland Bazaar with a pleased smile on his face. His foundation was finally complete.

Chapter 1306: An Expert Shows Up

With wings unfurled, one could fly high into the sky.

That was what Yang Qi was thinking.

Unfortunately, although the Sage Monarch Consortium was making headway in the Wasteland Bazaar, it wasn't quite in the position of having its wings unfurled. It needed to build up more resources, gain more experience in conflicts with enemies, maintain an undefeated record, and slowly make sure everyone realized that messing with the Sage Monarch Consortium was a quick way to die.

And he needed Unbounded will to truly accomplish that.

'I need to think of a way to get into the Nacrelight Sageland.' With that, he left the consortium and headed in the direction of the Nacrelight Sageland. The Wasteland Bazaar was huge, to the point where even Yang Qi would need time to fly from one end to the other.

He took the opportunity to take in some of the sights, with the hope of learning more about the Heaven-Wretch Continent, the location where the Wretch God had fallen.

As he flew along, he passed other consortiums that had been built by organizations like the Sage Monarch Society. Some were little more than stalls on the street, while others stretched across tens of thousands of square kilometers.

Yang Qi didn't need to actually enter the other consortiums; he could scan them with his divine will and easily identify what treasures and experts were inside.

Similar to the Sage Monarch Consortium, any consortium that covered an area of at least ten thousand square kilometers would have Perfect Gods present to watch over things.

Yang Qi didn't consider trying to plunder any of the valuable things he saw. He knew that the Perfect Gods would be backed by even stronger forces, otherwise they wouldn't have reached their current level of cultivation. Tangling with forces like those would only cause unneeded complications for the Sage Monarch Consortium.

And any gains made would not make up for the losses incurred.

As for Yang Qi, the only reason he had made such progress was because he had taken advantage of the destiny of the House of God Ordainment. Without it, he would just be a measly rogue cultivator desperately hunting for resources.

True, some of his gains were made by theft. But that theft was only possible because of his status as a disciple of the House of God Ordainment.

The point was that any extremely powerful individual would have impressive backing; it was an ironclad rule.

'Hm. Looks like there's a big consortium up ahead that has some impressive wares.'

He had been casually flying along for some time when he caught sight of something that resembled a school of learning. The people making their way to and fro inside all resembled confucian scholars, and the experts of the dao of devils refused to get too close to it. That was because it pulsed with a righteous, noble aura that repelled wretch-devils.

It covered an area of millions and millions of square meters, and was filled with towering structures of all sorts. Located in the very center of the Wasteland Bazaar, it was very unique in its style.

Yang Qi could sense several extremely powerful auras within it that came from medicinal pills. Clearly, they were pills or talismans that had been made by Paramount Gods, or at least something similar. Regardless, he could tell that they would boost his godpower and psyche.

It was worth taking a look.

Landing outside, he approached and was greeted by some confucian scholars.

"This is the consortium of the Truth Academy. Which organization are you from? Are you here to do business?"

"Er, hello. I'm a disciple from the House of God Ordainment, here in the Wasteland Bazaar for training. I'm hoping to buy some treasures to boost my cultivation base, and everyone talks about how impressive the Truth Academy is. So I decided to come take a look for myself, and see if any of your wares might be worth purchasing." Even as he spoke, he pulled out some godnotes and stuffed them into the palms of the scholars. "Do you mind leading the way for me? What kind of wares do you sell here? I especially need medicinal pills that can boost psychic power and strengthen godhood. Specifically, Unbounded pills."

The scholars stuffed the godnotes away, and at the same time, suddenly turned much more courteous. They were all Lesser Gods, and upon seeing that Yang Qi wasn't a wretch-devil, and was a Consummate God, they didn't dare to be anything but attentive.

"Ah, that's easy."

"We have a big auction house here, and auctions are held there every day. In fact, there's one starting right now. We can take you there."

Everything was easier with money. Yang Qi followed the scholars into the consortium and could see that it was a bustling place. He even saw high officials and noble persons from the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty doing business here and there. And he spotted some extremely beautiful women who were obviously from the Nacrelight Sageland. He inwardly nodded at the realization that the Truth Academy was obviously a major force. People from all sorts of other organizations were here, and some even had taken advantage of the magnanimity of the confucians to open auxiliary campuses to provide instruction.

The confucians were a big group in the god world, and nobody wanted to offend them. People from both the righteous and wretched daos feared them, and often admired them. They focused on virtue, didn't fear death, and were generally idealistic.

Their energy arts pulsed with a righteous energy that repelled wretch-devils. And according to the stories, it could actually vanquish the righteous energy of the Sovereign Lord's radiance and light. Supposedly, the Lord of Civilization had been a confucian, which was why he was so adept at creating and preserving civilizations.

A short time later, Yang Qi was at the auction house, which was actually an enormous public square filled with a sea of people. No one from the dao of devils could be seen; because of the righteous energy that filled the academy, such people found it intolerable.

However, Yang Qi noticed that there were some experts from the dao of devils who were in disguise. However, they didn't dare to cause trouble, and were obviously only there in the hopes of taking advantage of the auction.

Everything was very orderly, which was a big exception to how things usually worked in the Wasteland Bazaar.

The auction had already started. Yang Qi didn't put in any bids; but just watched the buzz of activity, and kept an eye on who was participating.

At a certain point, he noticed that some officials from the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty were in a frenzied bidding war with some experts from the Nacrelight Sageland. The two groups were diametrically opposed, and Yang Qi was thinking of using that as a way to somehow get into the Nacrelight Sageland.

Suddenly, Yang Qi realized that there was a top expert from the Nacrelight Sageland present in one of the private booths. It was a young woman who had already purchased quite a few treasures. She lay sprawled on a divan of icy snow, attended by a host of beautiful handmaidens. Of course, without his Lord's Eye, Yang Qi would never have noticed her.

'She's a peak Consummate God, and is half a step into the Unbounded level,' he thought. 'I wonder if I can get an audience with her.'

Heart pounding, he decided to wait a bit before taking action.

The auction went on for several hours, until a treasure appeared that caused the entire auction floor to erupt into a frenzy.

"Ladies and gentlemen," announced the confucian auctioneer, a Perfect God, "we are now offering a flower of wisdom up for auction. We discovered it while exploring some ancient ruins, and according to rumor, it can be added to over three thousand varieties of rare medicinal ingredients, and if refined by a Paramount God using the pill formula created by the Lord of Wisdom, it can create a Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill. With such a pill, a peak Perfect God will find it much easier to break through to the Unbounded level of will convergence. Unfortunately, our institute lacks the requisite pill formula, thus, we're offering it up for auction. Please, let the bidding begin."

Yang Qi immediately sensed that the woman in the private booth had become very nervous, as though she very much wanted to acquire the flower of wisdom.

'She must have come here specifically for this flower,' Yang Qi thought. 'And that means she must have the pill formula for that Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill, and possibly all the other medicinal ingredients as well. So how do I get in to see her? There's no way being a disciple of the House of God Ordainment will be enough. I think I need to change identities.'

All of a sudden, he remembered that he happened to have a very strange fleshly body in reserve. It was the scholar he had found in the Chaos Forge God-Shrine on the Toxic Continent. It was possible to tell just by looking at the corpse that the man had been a confucian.

It seemed like the perfect disguise.

Women from the Nacrelight Sageland generally abhorred men and would refuse to have dealings with them. But ironically, because of their incredible beauty, men would scramble like a flock of wild ducks to pursue them. Some of the women couldn't help but yearn for love, and would make exceptions when it came to certain men. And women were usually more tolerant of scholars.

This could very well be the ticket he needed.

Yang Qi surreptitiously switched his fleshly body with that of the confucian scholar. No one around him noticed the change.

His old body was no more, having been sucked into his godhood. Taking over another body was a simple matter that involved putting one's godhood and will into the new body.

Yang Qi felt very different. There were certain aspects of this scholar's body that he didn't understand, but he could tell that it was immensely powerful. Its sea of energy was like a black hole that seemed to constantly consume massive amounts of godpower.

RUMBLE!

Every move he made drained his monarch godhood by about half. Thankfully, he had the God Legion Seal to fill it back up, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to walk, much less fly.

This being his first time inside this body, he was completely shocked. 'How could this body be so strong? Was this guy a Paramount God? I'd say it's highly likely. How could anyone other than a Paramount God be this strong?'

Unfortunately, it wasn't easy to control a body like this, and he couldn't even unleash godpower outside of it.

Thankfully, he had the God Legion Seal to compensate.

More than ever, he was convinced that, in life, this scholar had been some inconceivably powerful individual.

After getting used to the new body, he looked up and saw that the auction of the flower of wisdom was nearing its end.

Chapter 1307: Confucian Scholar

"Fifty billion godnotes!" someone shouted. It wasn't the woman Yang Qi was interested in, but a sinister-looking man in an imperial gown who fairly radiated the fate of a nation. It was an imperial prince from the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty, flanked by numerous experts as he sat in his own private booth.

The surrounding nobility all looked very nervous.

"Tenth Prince," one of the nobles said, "we absolutely, positively must not let the flower of wisdom fall into the hands of Summer Vastcold. Her cultivation base is on the very cusp of the Unbounded level, and she also has the formula for the Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill, as well as all the other ingredients. Now all she needs is that flower, and she'll rise to the Unbounded level! That would be very bad for us."

The man was a marquis, and a powerful Perfect God.

"There's no need to even bring that up," the tenth prince growled. "The Nacrelight Sageland is our sworn enemy, and we've had our eye on Summer Vastcold for a long time. Although we haven't managed to get our hands on her personally, we've killed a lot of her sisters. Besides, it's not a guarantee that if she gets that flower of wisdom she'll be able to concoct the pill, nor that it will help her achieve her breakthrough if she does. But in the end, you're right, it would be better to not give her the opportunity."

"But Tenth Prince," another noble said, "if you keep bidding and raising the price, you could very well make a fool of yourself in trying to be clever. What if you win the auction but can't pay up? Besides, we don't have the formula for the Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill, so that flower won't do us any good in the end. If His Majesty the emperor finds out you spent tens of billions on it, he'll be furious, and we'll all suffer the consequences."

"Transfer whatever funds are necessary," the tenth prince said. "I want that pill! Even if I don't do anything with it! If Summer Vastcold wants to reach the Unbounded level, she'll do it because I let her. And I'll make her work for it! Whatever I spend on the pill, I'll make back, thanks to her. Then I'll sell it to her for an even higher price than I paid!"

The bidding was at fifty billion godnotes, and the auction floor was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

No one was jumping in with competing bids. Not even the entire House of God Ordainment could produce that many godnotes, unless they first sold all of their most valuable magical treasures and medicinal pills.

"Fifty-two billion godnotes!" someone said from the Nacrelight Sageland booth. Summer Vastcold looked on with cold eyes as she upped the bid.

"Vastcold," one of the handmaidens said, "if this keeps going, we'll run out of funds. The bidding has already gone higher than we can afford. How can we possibly scrape that much money together? If we can't pay up, we'll end up offending the Truth Academy. We'll have to pay compensation, and at the same time, lose the flower of wisdom!"

"Yes, but I absolutely have to get that flower," Summer Vastcold said. "We all know what it can do. All the preparations are in place, except the flower. It's my only hope to reach the Unbounded level. Compared to that, what are fifty billion godnotes? Not even five hundred billion or five trillion could compare!"

"But we just can't keep bidding!" another young woman said, clearly anxious. "The Truth Academy knows what our limits are, and if we surpass the collateral we've put down, they'll know. We can't just blurt out prices we can't afford. Even with all of our savings put together, we only have sixty billion godnotes. Our only hope is that our enemies will run out of money."

"Fifty-five billion!" cried the tenth prince, having called on all of his closest friends to loan him the money he needed to win the flower.

This was a very heated auction.

"Fifty-eight billion!" Summer Vastcold said through gritted teeth. She knew that if the bidding reached sixty billion, she wouldn't be able to offer any higher bid.

"Sixty billion!" the tenth prince said. He chuckled darkly. "If I'm not mistaken, Summer Vastcold doesn't have much collateral left. I bet she hasn't put down more than sixty billion. And if I draw on all my family fortune, I can go as high as seventy billion. She's out of options!"

"Tenth Prince, if this auction ends with us going broke, it's going to be hard to survive in the dynasty. Money is an absolute requirement to deal with the imperial court." The marquises, counts, and dukes in his retinue were all starting to get very nervous.

"We'll be fine. Once I win the flower of wisdom, I'll sell it back to Summer Vastcold. Her Master will pay more for it than she could afford, and we'll end up profiting handsomely."

The women in Summer Vastcold's booth were all so anxious they were crying out loud. "Crap. We can't bid any higher!"

Meanwhile, one of the Perfect Gods from the Truth Academy entered and said, "Miss Summer Vastcold, you have no further funds deposited. According to the rules of the Truth Academy, you aren't allowed to make any more bids. We hope you understand."

"Damnation!" Summer Vastcold spat, her face a mask of rage. Unfortunately, there was nothing she could do. All of her savings, even when coupled with that of her sisters, still wasn't enough to do anything.

"Hold on!" someone said from the entrance of the private booth. It was none other than Yang Qi. Extending his hand, he revealed a crystal bracelet, which was a holding item filled with a mountain of godnotes. "Miss Summer Vastcold, I'd like to invest in you. This bracelet has twenty billion godnotes in it. That should be enough."

"Who are you?" Summer Vastcold said, visibly taken aback. Obviously, she was wondering why a complete stranger was being so generous as to hand over twenty billion godnotes. Even in the god world, that was still a vast amount of wealth, such that even superpower sects might not be able to afford it. It was enough to cover investments of all sorts.

Yang Qi waved his hand dismissively. "Worry about such questions later. Win that flower, otherwise your enemy will take it, and you'll be filled with regret."

Handing the bracelet over to the Perfect God from the Truth Academy, he said, "Please, assess this immediately. Miss Summer Vastcold, hurry up and make your bid!"

"Alright!" Summer Vastcold said. "Sixty-five billion godnotes!"

"How could this be?" the tenth prince shouted, leaping to his feet. "How could she have more money?! I know for sure that she only had sixty billion godnotes and not a bit more!"

"How could you people let her make a bid when she can't afford it!" shouted one of the counts.

"I'm sorry," said the Perfect God attendant from the academy. "Miss Summer Vastcold just added an additional twenty billion in cash to her account. It's been carefully counted."

"What?!" the tenth prince shouted madly. "What's going on? Who gave her that money?"

"Apologies, but we can't provide that information. We're not even supposed to tell you how much money she's added to her account."

"Seventy billion!" the tenth prince blurted in exasperation.

A short moment later, the response from the other booth came. "Seventy-two billion!"

The tenth prince looked like a deflating balloon, and one of the nobles said, "Let's just give up."

"No more bids?" the Perfect God asked. When he saw the nods of agreement, he left.

"Tenth Prince, don't be disappointed. Why don't we just wait until Summer Vastcold leaves the Truth Academy, then ambush her and take the flower by force? We can contact some boundless wretch-devils to help. Maybe we can even arrange for some assassins."

"That's our only option," said the dejected tenth prince. With that, they packed up and left.

"Many thanks for your help, Young Sir," Summer Vastcold said. "Without you, I wouldn't have this flower of wisdom. It would be in the hands of that damned prince from the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty." The flower had already been delivered to her private booth, and she beamed with smiles as she looked down at it. "Now it looks like I have a real chance to reach the Unbounded level."

"It was my pleasure," Yang Qi said, waving his hand dismissively. "The truth is that I hate the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty with a passion, so it's only natural that I'd want to help you. You see, by helping you, I helped myself."

"Many thanks, Young Sir," she repeated. "I'll definitely find a way to repay your twenty billion godnotes."

"Don't worry about that," Yang Qi replied. "You just spent an astronomical amount of money, so now's not the time to talk about repayment. In fact, if you need more help with money in the future, I'll be here to lend a hand."

"Oh?"

At this point, Summer Vastcold finally calmed down from the rush of winning the flower. Meanwhile, the surrounding women from the Nacrelight Sageland were whispering among themselves. Then one of them said, "Young Sir, you must be extremely rich to give twenty billion godnotes as a gift, then talk about giving more. What organization are you from? Are you a confucian? Have you taken a liking to our Vastcold?"

"Any enemy of the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty is a friend of the Nacrelight Sageland. And confucian scholars aren't heretical wretch-devils, so we can be friends with them."

"Young Sir, exactly how rich are you? Even the son of the rector of the Truth Academy wouldn't be able to hand over that much money without blinking. It's definitely enough to sway the heart of a woman."

Yang Qi laughed. "As long as Miss Vastcold is happy, that's enough for me. That said, I do consider this an investment. I hope that Miss Vastcold will use that flower to concoct the pill she needs to reach the Unbounded level. When that happens, I'll surely benefit. It's really a matter of reaping and sowing karma. I'm sure you all understand."

"Of course, Young Sir," Summer Vastcold said. "Again, many thanks to you. If you're willing, I'd like to extend an invitation to you to come visit the Nacrelight Sageland."

Chapter 1308: Summer Vastcold

Yang Qi had seized an opportunity, using twenty billion godnotes to win the favor of Summer Vastcold, thus earning a way into the Nacrelight Sageland as a guest.

Of course, those twenty billion godnotes hadn't earned him Summer Vastcold's trust. But he didn't care. As long as he could establish the relationship, he could work on getting her to trust him later.

With that, they left the Truth Academy and headed toward the Nacrelight Sageland.

"You still haven't told me where you're from, Mr. Void Qi."

'Void Qi' was the alias Yang Qi was using.

"I learned some of the core teachings and doctrines of the Lord of Civilization, which was how I came to be a scholar. But I never formally joined any particular institute. I did infiltrate some of them in disguise to learn what I could, but I've spent most of my time wandering, teaching people about history and virtue, and propagating the righteous energy of the confucian schools. The truth is that my wealth is from the legacy of the Lord of Civilization that I discovered, not my own merit. Please, don't laugh at me for that, Miss Vastcold."

Yang Qi had no trouble spinning a believable tale. After all, there were too many confucian scholars in the god world to possibly count, and it was the same with confucian institutes. There was no way the Nacrelight Sageland could ever corroborate or refute his story, so he simply made up a tale, not worrying at all whether Summer Vastcold believed him or not.

The Lord of Civilization was one of the subordinates of the Sovereign Lord. In fact, he was one of his most competent generals. And everyone knew that his core teachings and doctrines had never been handed down, so how could this random person know of them?

Expression flickering, Summer Vastcold said, "Young Sir Void Qi, it's said that the Lord of Civilization had an extremely powerful energy art known as the Imperial-Heaven Pre-Beginning Art. It was shockingly powerful and completely domineering. Do you mind giving us a demonstration?"

Obviously it was a test to see if he really knew of the teachings of the Lord of Civilization. If he did, it seemed a given he would found a school that would ultimately become extremely powerful. But if he was just blithely making up a fake story, then he would be someone to guard against. It was obvious that he had used the twenty billion godnotes to get close to her, and as the saying went, one who is unaccountably generous is hiding evil intentions.

Many of the other young women were looking closely at Yang Qi. Some were Consummate Gods, while others were Perfect Gods, yet none of them could assess his cultivation base. Of course, the reason was that he wasn't using his own fleshly body at the moment, but was instead using the body of the mysterious scholar he had discovered. Were it not for that, his status as a mid Consummate God would have been hard to hide.

"Of course, no problem!" Yang Qi said. Obviously, he knew that Summer Vastcold wouldn't be easily fooled.

Waving his hand, he summoned a complex image in the form of a long scroll that pulsed with an ancient aura and the shocking power of civilization.

"Very impressive," Summer Vastcold said, looking a bit surprised. "So you do have some imperial-heaven pre-beginning powers. What a surprise to see a daoist technique like that finally making its reappearance. You're clearly a successor of the Lord of Civilization, Young Sir. I have no choice but to believe you. Your cultivation base will reach unfathomable heights, and you'll surely establish your own school to educate the masses."

"Not necessarily," Yang Qi said. "I prefer freedom and simple living. Besides, I actually had a school in the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty, but after offending the crown prince, it was destroyed, and all of my disciples were massacred. As for me, I had to flee with my life. That's why I hate them down to the core of my being, and won't rest until they're wiped out." By the end of his speech, his voice was fairly dripping with animosity.

Slowly but surely, he was winning Summer Vastcold's trust.

"So, that's how it is," she said. By this point, she trusted him by about sixty percent. After all, the imperial-heaven pre-beginning powers he had shown indicated that he was a successor of the Lord of Civilization.

Getting him on her side would provide major benefits, not to mention the fact that he was extremely wealthy.

"Young Sir Void Qi," said an early Consummate God, "given your incredible cultivation base and immense psyche and will, you're surely on the verge of reaching the Unbounded level. Considering how much you've helped out, does it mean you're looking to share some of the spoils? For instance, some pill formulas from the Nacrelight Sageland? Or some valuable ingredients? Unfortunately, the flower of wisdom can only be used to make a single pill, which can only be used by one person. Furthermore, I don't even know if I can successfully concoct it."

"A Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill wouldn't do me any good," Yang Qi replied casually. "And it definitely wouldn't push me to the Unbounded level. I have no intention of trying to take something Miss Summer Vastcold so needs. That said, I wouldn't mind studying such a pill. Miss Summer Vastcold, how do you intend to concoct it?"

She chuckled. "You think I have the ability to concoct a pill like that? Only a Paramount God can do so. I plan to ask help from my Master, as well as my Sect Uncles. Together, they probably have a fifty percent chance of succeeding."

"Oh, I see," Yang Qi said. Of course, the truth was that he really wasn't interested in the flower of wisdom, only the Mahātmā Jade.

As the group was chatting, a burst of strange cackling rang out, laughter that contained weeping and wailing. In fact, it was hard to tell if it was really laughter, and it made everyone who heard it feel very uncomfortable.

"It's an ambush!" Summer Vastcold said. "Junior Sisters, man the turrets!"

They weren't simply flying through the air, but in a nine-decked ship that was a god item crafted by a Paramount God. It was made from a colorful type of metal, and covered with magical inscriptions that made it capable of incredible speed. And of course, it had spell formations that required high-level godstones to operate.

As soon as the orders left her mouth, the women of the Nacrelight Sageland burst into motion, heading to the various guns that were located throughout the ship and putting imperial caliber godstones into them to power them up. Moments later, brilliant shafts of light were shooting this way and that as they targeted the enemy.

'It's too bad they don't have holy caliber godstones to power those weapons,' Yang Qi thought, shaking his head. Unfortunately, such godstones were far too rare and valuable. Each one would be as precious as an entire city.

Furthermore, these women had just purchased a flower of wisdom, cleaning out their wealth in the process. How could they have anything left after that?

The sky outside was dark and leaden, as if the entire area had been sealed down. Black clouds roiled and lightning flashed, as though doomsday had come.

"Natural Disaster Secret Magic!? These are wretch-gods from the Natural Disaster Sect!"

Summer Vastcold's expression flickered as she led Yang Qi to the main deck of the ship. Looking out, they saw that the dark clouds were so thick that it was obvious the ship wasn't going to be able to pierce through them easily.

Suddenly, laughter burst out as dozens upon dozens of Perfect Gods descended from the clouds. In fact, Yang Qi counted, and found that there were a hundred and eight of them, and they were organized in a formation. No wonder they were so confident in springing a successful trap. When Yang Qi had faced fifteen Perfect Gods who used the Wretched Brain God Art, it had been tricky to deal with. Here there were a hundred and eight such opponents, all working together.

"The Natural Disaster Sect from the League of Wretch-Gods," Summer Vastcold said, her voice icy. "What do you people think you're doing? Don't tell me you're declaring war on the Nacrelight Sageland!?"

More laughter rang out as a young man took the forefront. He had a very fair face, almost feminine, but he pulsed with killing intent. "We're here for your money. Let me explain, Summer Vastcold. Certain people from the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty want you dead, and they hired us to do the job. But the truth is we don't have to kill you. Just give us that flower of wisdom, and we'll spare your lives."

"You want the flower of wisdom? You don't have the pill formula or the other medicinal ingredients. What good would it do you?"

"Simple," replied the feminine young man. "If we capture you, the Nacrelight Sageland will give us the pill formula and the ingredients. Then we can definitely make that Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill. And if I can reach the Unbounded level because of this, it'll all be worth it, don't you think? That's why I put together this group of a hundred and eight Perfect Gods. With the Natural Disaster Cyclical Formation Magic in play, you'll never escape. So either surrender, or die."

"Damnation," Summer Vastcold said. Looking at Yang Qi, she said, "Young Sir Void Qi, it looks like we're in a very troublesome situation here. This guy is named Disaster Trek, and he's a top expert from the Natural Disaster Sect. He's no weaker than me, and he's obviously been planning this trap for a long time."

"We can't break free?" Yang Qi asked. "This ship of yours was created by a Paramount God. With the right godstones, it should be able to unleash the power of a Paramount God. That should be enough to blast through their formation."

"I thought of that," Summer Vastcold said with a wry smile. "Unfortunately, we'd need holy caliber godstones. And where are we going to get anything like that? We have nothing better than imperial caliber. I did have some better godstones, but I traded them in so I could afford the flower of wisdom."

"Oh?" Yang Qi smiled. "Thankfully, I happen to have some right here."

He flicked his sleeve, and clinking sounds rang out as a host of holy caliber godstones tumbled out onto the deck, flashing like tiny suns.

"This..." Summer Vastcold was temporarily at a loss for words. "Where did you get so many holy caliber godstones? Don't tell me the Lord of Civilization's treasure trove was this incredible! I can't believe you just casually poured out what must be ten billion godnotes worth of godstones!"

Chapter 1309: Limitless Wealth

When Summer Vastcold saw the mountainous pile of holy caliber godstones, she realized that Yang Qi was so fabulously wealthy it surpassed anything she could have guessed earlier. After all, even the Nacrelight Sageland as a whole would have a hard time producing this much wealth.

Seeing that Summer Vastcold was in such a daze, Yang Qi said, "Now's not the time for chatting. Activate the weapons and blast our way through this formation of a hundred and eight Perfect Gods. If we don't get out of here quickly, we're going to be in big trouble."

"Many thanks to you, Young Sir. Your sense of righteousness knows no bounds. I fear I'll never be able to make this up to you."

WHIZZZ!

Summer Vastcold was a decisive person, so she waved her sleeve and sent the holy caliber godstones flying throughout the ship into the various spell formations.

The ship gobbled them up as if they were medicinal pills, causing the ship to suddenly surge with the aura of a Paramount God. Then, fiery blasts erupted from the ship, scorching everything in their path and piercing through the spell formation and the black clouds.

"Use the Nine Yangs Escape Magic! Full speed ahead!"

Under Summer Vastcold's command, the ship sucked up the godstones and used them to become a fiery streak that shot forward, completely unstoppable. It looked like a blade of fire slashing through everything with destructive power, complete with shadowy projections of Paramount Gods.

Swish!

A breath of time passed, and the ship was nowhere to be seen.

"What's going on here?!" said Disaster Trek. "I worked so hard to set up this formation! And they broke through it that easily? There's no way they had a reserve of holy caliber godstones to unleash the might of the Paramount god weapons!"

Paramount god weapons were hard to get, and it was even harder to power them up. Normally speaking, even Perfect Gods would go broke if they tried.

Of course, Yang Qi actually had a lot of Paramount god items, namely, those belonging to the seventy-two monarchs. There were also his fragments of the Cruiser of Civilization. To truly unleash the might of such items would require might that couldn't be provided by ordinary godstones.

"To do that they would have had to spend godstones worth at least ten billion godnotes!" one of his cohorts said. "There's no way they have that kind of wealth! The Natural Disaster Cyclical Formation Magic was destroyed! This is a huge loss!"

"Damnation," another expert spat. "The Natural Disaster Cyclical Formation Magic requires a huge amount of souls to unleash. It's virtually priceless. I can't believe we tried to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice we used to lure it. Who does Summer Vastcold have as a backer now? We have to investigate this. Supposedly, there was some mysterious expert who gave her twenty billion godnotes back in the auction. I can't believe that her backer would then go on to give her so many godstones. What billionaire could it possibly be?"

"What the fuck!? Who the hell would use that much money just to hook up with a girl!?" Disaster Trek had an odd smile on his face as he thought about what kind of moron would waste that much money on a woman.

"Let's go. We'll figure out who this guy is and what he's up to. What a pity we couldn't get our hands on his money. With that much money, he'll definitely attract the attention of Unbounded experts."

With that, they left.

Meanwhile, Yang Qi and company had long since flown far away, and were in a land of beauty that looked totally different from the Heaven-Wretch Continent. Normally speaking, it should have taken them a few weeks to reach the edges of the Heaven-Wretch Continent. But with the caliber of godstones they had, it had only taken them a few hours to reach the Nacrelight Sageland.

The lands around them were covered with flowers, rivers, and mountains, and looked as beautiful as a painting. Even the clouds and sky resembled an immortal realm.

No wretch-devil would dare to barge into a place like this.

"We're safe," Summer Vastcold said, breathing a sigh of relief. She looked at Yang Qi. "We're now in the Nacrelight Sageland, so those wretch-devils won't be following us. They know they'll die if they do."

"The Nacrelight Sageland lives up to its reputation as a holy land," Yang Qi said. "The goddesses here are enough to make anyone gasp in amazement." At some point, Yang Qi had produced a fan with which he slowly fanned himself. "Miss Summer Vastcold, whatever you need, just let me know. If I hadn't produced those godstones at just the right moment, I think we'd be dead already."

He wasn't even trying to sound humble.

The power of over a hundred Perfect Gods was such that, although he might not have been instantly defeated, and might even have been able to escape. But he had also been watching out for Summer Vastcold and the other women. Perhaps Summer Vastcold might have been able to escape from that situation, but the others wouldn't have.

In a battle that fierce, he just couldn't have saved everyone.

As a mid Consummate God, he could definitely kill dozens of ordinary Perfect Gods with ease. But when it came to peak Perfect Gods, or over a hundred of them together, it was a different story.

After all, two fists are no match for four hands.

Of course, if his godhood reached the Perfect God level, he wouldn't need to fear even a host of gods of the same level as himself. He would crush them like ants.

"I wonder how many godstones you could provide, Young Sir?" Summer Vastcold asked.

"And why might you be asking a question like that, Miss?" Yang Qi replied with a faint smile. "Don't tell me you have a need for a large number of godstones..."

"Well..." she replied awkwardly, "yes, I do. I'm about to go beg my Master to concoct the Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill. Unfortunately, part of the process will require using a signature item of our Nacrelight Sageland, the Light King God-Furnace. And that furnace requires a huge amount of godstones to operate. The more godstones it has to work with, the higher the chance of success."

Yang Qi nodded. "I see."

He knew that the Light King God-Furnace was a powerful god item that had once belonged to the Lord of Radiance and Light, master of Mount Radiance. And he had heard that it was a signature treasure of the Nacrelight Sageland.

"In that case, don't worry, Miss. However many godstones you require, I can provide. Ten billion? A hundred billion? Hundreds of billions? Regardless of the amount, I can help." Right now was the moment in which to flaunt his wealth. After all, the Mahātmā Jade was on the line, and he wasn't planning on holding anything back.

When the words left his mouth, stars of envy glittered in the eyes of many of the young women present.

Although the women of the Nacrelight Sageland were arrogant and looked down on men, their hearts would still be stirred by the sight of someone like Yang Qi, who seemed willing to throw away any amount of money to win the attention of a woman.

Some things will never change.

Furthermore, these women had seen plenty of men who seemed generous at first, but when it came down to it, were actually stingy. Of course, Yang Qi wasn't actually spending his own money, so how could he be stingy about it?

As far as he was concerned, money might as well have been dirt.

The female disciples were already whispering amongst themselves about the situation.

"Just how rich is this Void Qi? He's obviously after Summer Vastcold. She isn't exactly poor, but not even a Paramount God would normally be able to provide this much money."

"That's right. Void Qi hardly blinked when he pulled out twenty billion godnotes and over ten billion in godstones. If he can keep this up, he must be richer than the richest Paramount God! This is going to throw the whole Nacrelight Sageland into a big uproar! There's a real moneybags going after Miss Summer Vastcold!"

"Oh, how I envy her!"

"She has no idea how lucky she is to have run into someone like Void Qi."

Meanwhile, Summer Vastcold simply nodded in response to Yang Qi. "This is only going to be a loan, Young Sir Void Qi. After I get Unbounded will convergence, I'll pay everything back. Summer Vastcold isn't the type of person that takes advantage of others."

Yang Qi smiled warmly. "I know. How could someone with a reputation as irreproachable as Miss Summer Vastcold ever care about money? Truth be told, I'm similar to you in that regard. I've never cared much for money. A true gentleman doesn't focus on profit."

"Oh really?" She chuckled. "I should've guessed that you have such high ideals. In that case, Young Sir, please come with me to meet my Master. Perhaps she'll even give you some assistance with your cultivation base."

"Alright!"

Yang Qi was definitely interested in meeting a Paramount God with Unbounded will. If he could get on the good side of a person like that, it would make things much easier in the Nacrelight Sageland, and would also increase his chances of finding the Mahātmā Jade.

Furthermore, he was curious to see who Summer Vastcold's Master actually was.

The ship flew along for two days and nights, until they finally reached a place where a beautiful palace hung high in the sky, filled with the most amazing buildings. This was the headquarters of the entire Nacrelight Sageland.

The clouds were filled with flowers, and pulsed with spirit energy that was beneficial for all living beings.

"Sisters, you're free to be on your way," Summer Vastcold said. "After I concoct this pill, I'll be sure to pay back all the money and resources you loaned me."

"Sister Vastcold, as long as you reach the Unbounded level, the Vastcold Society will skyrocket to power and we'll finally be able to dominate all the other factions. We'll be like the Crown Prince Society from the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty. Dangerous times are coming, so to stay safe, we need an Unbounded expert!"

"That's right. With Young Sir Void Qi's help, you'll definitely succeed."

Chapter 1310: Evading Notice

Summer Vastcold led a group of 'sisters' who were essentially a faction within the Nacrelight Sageland, similar to the factions that existed in the House of God Ordainment.

Another similarity between the two sects was that the Nacrelight Sageland also held occasional elections to select a new leader for the sect when the old one went into retirement. When that election approached, numerous elite disciples would compete viciously for the votes of the other disciples.

It was the same with the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty as well.

The main difference in the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty was that only imperial princes qualified to compete. Many people denounced the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty for that, and some said that it limited their capacity for growth.

"And now, Young Sir Void Qi, I'll take you to see my Master," Summer Vastcold said. "We're currently in the primary headquarters of the Nacrelight Sageland. Don't underestimate this palace. It's filled with countless god kingdoms and dimensions of various sizes. The people here are by no means ordinary in nature, so stick close to me and don't get lost. If you do, you'll be killed by whatever warding spells you stumble across."

"A guest should act according to the host's wishes," Yang Qi replied. "I know how these things work. Please, Miss Vastcold, lead the way."

"Okay."

They entered the palace, and the first thing Yang Qi noticed was that the boundless space-time within it had no violent spatial tempests. Countless spell formations had been erected to create world after world, all of which combined made up a greater megastructure.

"As you can see, every three thousand minor chiliocosms create a common chiliocosm, and every three thousand common chiliocosms create a greater chiliocosm. It's very impressive, no?" As Summer Vastcold explained matters, she seemed to glow with a strange and lustrous radiance.

Apparently, because this was her home territory, her cultivation base received boundless blessings that increased her overall power by thirty percent.

Although this palace looked surpassingly beautiful from the outside, once on the inside, Yang Qi realized how dangerous it was. There was no way he could sneak around here like he could in the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty. The God Legion Seal couldn't help him here; he would be immediately discovered, then killed.

So right now, it was very important to stay close to Summer Vastcold.

Worlds and god kingdoms sped by in streaks of light. To Yang Qi, it seemed as though the god kingdoms actually existed outside the god world, but at the same time, they were different from that which existed outside the god world.

Eventually, a mountain peak rose up ahead of them. And instead of a palace atop it, there was a simple grass hut, only about three meters from end to end. A woman sat cross-legged in the hut; she looked to be around thirty years of age and wore simple attire, with a plain wooden hairpin binding her hair up. Despite her modest getup, she seemed extremely refined and elegant.

This was obviously Summer Vastcold's Master.

'An Unbounded expert!' Yang Qi thought. If this person saw through to his deepest secrets, it could be very troublesome. Unfortunately, he had no choice but to continue with his plan. If he wanted to get into the treasure storehouse of the Nacrelight Sageland, he would have to deal with the sect's top experts. Even when taking the Mahātmā Jade from the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty, he had still been forced to earn the trust of Nie Yinyang first.

"This is my Master, Mother Voidwalker," Summer Vastcold said. "She's one of the boundless chief elders of the Nacrelight Sageland, an Unbounded expert who's currently seeking enlightenment of the Paramount God level. When the conditions are right, I fully believe she'll achieve her next breakthrough."

Yang Qi nodded. "Right. Having reached the Unbounded level of will convergence, it's a given that she'll reach the Paramount God level." Clasping hands with full respect, he said, "I am your humble servant, Void Qi. Please accept my greetings, Mother Voidwalker."

Mother Voidwalker glanced briefly at Yang Qi, but declined to respond to him. Instead, she said, "Why did you bring a man here, Vastcold?"

"Master, this Young Sir Void Qi offered me immense help. Without him, I wouldn't have acquired the flower of wisdom. Furthermore, I was ambushed on the way back, and only escaped thanks to the godstones he provided."

Having heard this, Mother Voidwalker looked back at Yang Qi with glittering eyes.

"Let me explain further," Summer Vastcold said. "Young Sir Void Qi is definitely not a bad person. Furthermore, he has the legacy of the Lord of Civilization, which could be of immense help to me."

"The Lord of Civilization?" Mother Voidwalker said, her expression flickering.

Yang Qi could sense that this woman was incomparably powerful. When her will touched him, he felt immobilized down to the tips of his fingers. Her psychic power entered his pores and swept through him, making him feel like little more than a marionette under her control.

'Unbounded will convergence is incredible,' he thought. He had previously assumed that he wasn't that far separated from the actual Unbounded level. But now he realized that not even the Wretched Brain God Art would be enough to fight against an Unbounded expert. And that was even more so the case if he wanted to keep his secrets.

If he revealed his secrets and drew on the powers of the God Legion Seal, then he would have hundreds of moves that he could use to hold his own against this woman. But ultimately, that would be suicide.

Thankfully, he knew how to keep his godhood and will convergence hidden in his sea of energy.

As for the body he was using, it was of such a mysterious origin that no one would be able to pierce its secrets, no matter how much godpower they poured into it.

Thanks to all these things, Yang Qi was safe from Mother Voidwalker's inspection.

Of course, when she sent her Unbounded will into him and didn't find any traces of his thoughts, will, or godhood, she immediately focused on his sea of energy, only to find that it was like a gobblewock that could insatiably devour psychic power.

Even her Unbounded will was gobbled up.

Shocked, she thought, 'What's going on here? What kind of body is this?' She quickly retracted her psychic power, not wanting to lose any more of it than necessary.

"Just who exactly are you?" she asked.

"I'm not sure what you mean, Senior," Yang Qi said, looking confused. "Oh, wait, I get it. You're wondering about my body. You see, the lingering will of the Lord of Civilization remolded it, which is why you probably found your godpower vanishing when you inspected it."

"You were remolded by the lingering will of the Lord of Civilization?" Mother Voidwalker said, a strange expression on her face. "Are you aware that your body is actually on the level of a Paramount God? In fact, I don't even think it belongs to you. It's definitely the work of the Lord of Civilization, which surpasses anything we can even imagine. He cultivated to the peak of the Unbounded level, and was also a peak Paramount God, making him tens of thousands of times more powerful even than me. Alright, tell me the truth. What's your interest in Vastcold?"

"I hate the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty with a passion, Senior. If you're going to accuse me of having any other motives, I should probably just leave." Clasping hands respectfully, he turned to leave.

However, before he could do anything, Mother Voidwalker waved her finger, and he felt immense power weighing down on him, immobilizing him.

"Senior, what are you doing?" he said, plastering a look of shock onto his face.

"Just giving you a little test," she said. "You see, there are a lot of scoundrels in this world, people who try to get close to my beautiful apprentices to take advantage of them. Therefore, I'm always on guard against such wicked people."

"I understand that," Yang Qi replied carefully. "But Senior, I can guarantee that I don't harbor any such thoughts. I really just want to hurt the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty. That's why I wanted to make friends with Miss Vastcold. Helping her reach the Unbounded level will be helping myself. If I could have a friend that was an Unbounded expert, then I would truly have a good behind-the-scenes supporter."

"Yeah, that's right, Master," Summer Vastcold said. "Young Sir Void Qi promised to help me with that Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill."

"Oh? Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill?" Mother Voidwalker looked at Yang Qi again. "Your cultivation base is a bit low to talk about concocting a pill like that."

"Young Sir Void Qi is offering to provide holy caliber godstones to power the spell formations in the Light King God-Furnace, thus significantly increasing the chances of success. It would be a huge shame to have spent so much on the flower of wisdom, only to fail in concocting the pill. Flowers of wisdom only show up once every ten thousand years or so. Who knows when another one will appear."

It was a given that Summer Vastcold didn't want Yang Qi to just walk off.

Mother Voidwalker nodded. "He must be quite wealthy to have godstones like that. Unfortunately, I still haven't finished preparing all the ingredients. When I've done so, I'll call on your Sect Uncles to help concoct the pill.

"It's going to take a few months. During that time, you and Young Sir Void Qi can get to know each other a bit better. Considering he has the legacy of the Lord of Civilization, you two could benefit a lot from each other. Perhaps share some daoist techniques and cultivation methods. The more you prepare to use that Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill, the more likely it is that you'll reach the Unbounded level."

With that, Mother Voidwalker vanished into thin air, leaving Summer Vastcold and Yang Qi alone.

'Looks like I passed the test,' Yang Qi thought. 'Now I just need to use the time I've bought to learn more about the Nacrelight Sageland, and hopefully find the location of the Mahātmā Jade."

Chapter 1311: High Priestess

Yang Qi had passed the deep inspection of Mother Voidwalker, an Unbounded expert.

Now he felt free to do as he wished, although he knew he still couldn't act rashly. If he wanted to survive in the Nacrelight Sageland, he needed to continue earning trust. That was the only way he would get into the treasure storehouse and ultimately secure that piece of the Mahātmā Jade.

He was in no hurry. He could be patient in his effort to get the jade, especially considering that, once he got it, he was fairly certain he would immediately achieve Unbounded will.

After encountering the Unbounded will convergence of Mother Voidwalker, he knew more than ever how important it was to reach that level himself. His current cultivation base simply wasn't high enough to deal with someone that powerful.

Seeing Yang Qi standing there, lost in thought, Summer Vastcold smiled and said, "Young Sir Void Qi, if you have nothing else to do, why not come with me for a tour of the Nacrelight Sageland? I can show you the scenery."

Yang Qi smiled. "That sounds wonderful."

With that, he followed her as she flew up into the clouds.

"By the way, Miss Vastcold, exactly how many factions are there in the Nacrelight Sageland? And which ones are problems for you? The more I know, the more I can help you avoid any dangerous situations."

"You know a lot about faction infighting?" she asked in surprise. "Aren't you from a confucian college? I thought you people avoided forming factions, and focused on mutual study and philosophizing."

"Times change," he replied. "Even philosophers have to form factions to defend their interests. Furthermore, I saw a lot of faction infighting in the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty. There was very bitter conflict. Blood flowed. In any case, all of the confucian academies, including the Truth Academy, the Righteousness Academy, the Noble Academy, the Heavenly Serenity Academy, the White Rainbow Academy... they all have factions in them."

"I suppose you're right. We live in an era in which factions proliferate, and the Nacrelight Sageland is no exception. Much of it has to do with our next election. Alright, let me explain some more. I'm the leader of the Vastcold Society, one of over a hundred thousand factions in the sect. Most are only second or third tier, or even smaller. But the Vastcold Society is a first-tier faction, of which there are only about ten. And the leaders of those all hope to win the coming election."

"Are there superpower factions?" Yang Qi asked. In the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty, the Crown Prince Society was led by the crown prince, who was already in the Unbounded level. And if the Nacrelight Sageland was considered a major enemy of the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty, it only made sense that they would have someone like that. "If I were a betting man, I would guess that the Nacrelight Sageland has a faction leader with Unbounded will convergence."

"That's right. The Eternal-Life God-Dynasty has the Crown Prince Society, and Nacrelight Sageland is no weaker. In fact, we actually have two leaders with Unbounded will convergence. One is the Clairvoyance Society, led by Summer Clairvoyance, who was in the Unbounded level long before the crown prince of the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty, yet isn't a Paramount God. The other Unbounded expert is Summer Heartless, who leads the Heartless Society, and long since earned the legacy of Mister Heartless from ancient times."

"Mister Heartless?"

Yang Qi remembered that in ancient times, there had been an expert who was considered both righteous and evil at the same time, yet neither righteous nor evil. He had been called Mister Heartless, and although he couldn't quite compare to King Immortal-Slayer, the Sovereign Lord, the True Devil, Wretch God Ultimate, or the Demon Master, he had still been extremely famous. In fact, he very nearly earned the title of lord.

In other words, he was on par with the Lord of Radiance and Light, the Lord of the Sword Dao, the Lord of Civilization, and the other lords like them.

"Summer Clairvoyance. Summer Heartless." Yang Qi smiled. "The old saying claims that clairvoyance stems from the heart. Considering one of these faction leaders is 'heartless', it's obvious they're destined to oppose each other. Miss Vastcold, you definitely have to reach the Unbounded level as soon as possible. Then there will be three superpower factions in the sect."

"I completely agree," she said. "Right now, the Vastcold Society isn't strong enough to tangle with them. That said, there are plenty of other factions that cause problems for us. For instance, the Melodic Rhythm Society, the Elegance Society, the Soundfyre Society, the Nacre Zither Society, and so on. We're constantly clashing with them. The upside is that none of their leaders have any hope of reaching the Unbounded level."

As she gave these explanations, she also interspersed some introductions regarding the various god kingdoms filling the Nacrelight Sageland. "That god kingdom is occupied by the Law Enforcement God Temple. Over there is the Scripture Pavilion. And that's the Missions Pavilion..."

The basic layout was actually very similar to the House of God Ordainment.

That said, all huge sects were similar in many ways. After millions upon millions of years went by, optimal sect management methods would be identified and broadly adopted. It was similar to how the process of evolution had led to the five viscera and six bowels in humans.

All sects had divisions devoted to law enforcement, missions, thralls, slaves, scriptures, and the like. Without such things, a sect simply wouldn't be complete.

"See that god kingdom over there? It's different from the others. It's called the Supplication God Temple. Supposedly, it facilitates communication with the god world itself, and is a creation unique to the Nacrelight Sageland. If disciples go in there and pray with complete piety, they can receive blessings from ancient times. Of course, it all comes down to piety and destiny, with destiny being the most important factor. Disciples with the proper destiny to pray in the Supplication God Temple can rise from Lesser Gods to Greater Gods. Disciples without the right destiny could pray in there for hundreds of years without benefiting at all."

"Supplication God Temple?" Yang Qi said, surprised. "Was it created by the founder of the Nacrelight Sageland?"

"Good guess. The founder was a member of the ancient halls of heaven, and a subordinate of the Sovereign Lord. His High Priestess, who officiated over rites and ceremonies. Back then, the countless members of the legion of gods would come to offer formal greetings to the Sovereign Lord, and the High Priestess would oversee it all. And that's the origin of the Supplication God Temple.

"I went in there once to pray, which is how I broke through to the Consummate God level so quickly. Normally it would've taken a long time, but with the boost in power from ancient times, I succeeded. Unfortunately, you're not a disciple of the Nacrelight Sageland, so you aren't allowed inside."

The truth was that Yang Qi was completely bowled over by what he had just learned. How could he have guessed that the founder of the Nacrelight Sageland was actually the High Priestess who served the Sovereign Lord himself?

According to legend, the Sovereign Lord had two subordinates who could be considered his primary assistants. One was the King of Godmammoths, and the other was the High Priestess.

The King of Godmammoths was a font of power who suppressed hell, while the High Priestess oversaw rites and ceremonies of all kinds. In mundane terms, the King of Godmammoths was the generalissimo, and the High Priestess was the prime minister. Together, they were a combination of the martial and the civil.

'If the Nacrelight Sageland was founded by the High Priestess,' Yang Qi thought, 'then it must be filled with immense secrets. I wonder if I'll have time to visit that Supplication God Temple.'

"Up ahead is the Warfare God Temple, which is a huge god kingdom where disciples can practice fighting and warfare. And if any disciples have personal vendettas or grudges, they can go there to fight things out. Of course, some people just go in to watch the excitement. Do you want to take a look?"

The god kingdom of which Summer Vastcold spoke fairly bristled with killing energy.

"Sure. Sounds interesting." The House of God Ordainment had no location such as this, and in fact, disciples there weren't even allowed to fight each other. Personal disputes had to be resolved in the Law Enforcement God Temple, which oftentimes led to unfair results.

Some matters were best handled between the two parties involved.

As soon as they entered, a beam of intense light shot toward them as if to bar their path. However, when the people in the beam of light realized it was Summer Vastcold, they came to a stop.

"Well, if it isn't the leader of the Vastcold Society, Summer Vastcold." It was a woman who had spoken, and she held a jade flute in her hand. She was flanked by a group of young men and women. The men were all young elites in the sect; Yang Qi hadn't been in the Nacrelight Sageland for long, but he had already come to realize that although the women here didn't accept male disciples, and claimed to hate men, the situation was more complicated. Young men would still come here to woo the women, and they would sometimes stay as guests. And because of that, the young women often had groups of men who clung to them and acted like dharmic guards.

"The leader of the Soundfyre Society," Summer Vastcold said. "Summer Soundfyre! Are you also here to watch the fighting in the Warfare God Temple?"

"Didn't you hear, Summer Vastcold? There's a big match being fought today. Summer Speechice and Summer Voice are here representing their respective factions, who recently discovered an ancient treasure trove filled with tens of billions of godnotes. The fighting over it resulted in a lot of casualties, therefore, the grudge can only be resolved here in the Warfare God Temple. Whoever wins will get the treasure trove! How could I not show up for a spectacle like this?" Looking at Yang Qi, Summer Soundfyre continued in a sinister voice, "Well, you must be Young Sir Void Qi, am I right? I heard that you helped Summer Vastcold get that flower of wisdom, and even loaned her twenty billion godnotes to do it."

Chapter 1312: Complicated Circumstances

It was a bit of a surprise to have run into another faction leader so quickly.

Summer Soundfyre clearly had a profound cultivation base, and was no weaker than Summer Vastcold. By now, Yang Qi realized that all the young women in the Nacrelight Sageland were surnamed "Summer", the reason being that the High Priestess was also surnamed Summer. Anyone who joined the Nacrelight Sageland would change their name to match.

The women in the sect were all surpassingly beautiful, and the leaders stood head and shoulders above the rest of the disciples. As for this Summer Soundfyre, she moved with entrancing grace and splendor, and was surrounded by an intoxicatingly fragrant aroma. A natural result of the bewitching techniques cultivated in the Nacrelight Sageland, it could entrance any man who encountered it.

Just being in Summer Soundfyre's presence caused warmth to spread through Yang Qi, and filled his mind with strange thoughts.

'Hmph!' He snorted coldly inwardly to clear his thoughts. However, he didn't let anything show on his face other than a faint smile. "I am your humble servant, Void Qi. I performed a minor favor for Miss Vastcold, nothing more."

Standing firmly in their path, Summer Soundfyre said, "You dropped billions without even thinking about it. That's wealth that most people would fight to the death over. Not even Paramount Gods could talk lightly about that much money. Just what exactly is your family background, Void Qi?"

"What does his family background have to do with you?" Summer Vastcold said coldly. "He's my friend, Summer Soundfyre, so don't even think of stirring up trouble for him. That will only cause more friction between our two factions."

Summer Soundfyre laughed. "That's the wrong attitude, little sister Vastcold. Good things should be shared. If you've found a rich young patron, you shouldn't be keeping him to yourself. I think all of us should benefit, don't you agree, Young Sir Void Qi? I've been running low on cash recently, maybe you can loan me a few billion godnotes. I'll be sure to pay you back later."

The other young men and women flanking Summer Soundfyre burst into laughter, and one of the men said, "With money, you can do anything, right, boy? Unfortunately, while having money is nice, it's nothing compared to power and cultivation level. Without them, how can you keep your money safe? How about you fork over thirty or forty billion godnotes to give to our Soundfyre Society as protection money? We'll make sure nobody goes after your wealth."

"Oh really?" Yang Qi said, looking the man up and down. He was a Consummate God with a faint destiny that seemed to imply he had an impressive background. Leaning over to Summer Vastcold, Yang Qi asked, "Who is this guy?"

"He's an expert from the Proud Clan named Proud Realm, who's been chasing Summer Soundfyre for some time now. She's simply toying with him, forcing him to spend huge amounts of wealth on her. But he seems to enjoy it, and doesn't complain at all. That said, his energy arts are impressive, so be careful."

Summer Vastcold obviously wasn't going to underestimate him. He was "only" a man, but he was still an early Consummate God, with impressive godhood and even more impressive connections. Obviously, ordinary people couldn't possibly tangle with him.

'An expert from the Proud Clan? You can wear out iron shoes in a fruitless search, then find what you're looking for without even trying!' Yang Qi thought back to when he had first arrived in the god world, and encountered a member of the Proud Clan in the Lightningbolt Continent. Of course, it was only a member of an auxiliary branch, one so obscure it was possible the headquarters didn't even know it existed.

In contrast, this Proud Realm was a Consummate God, which meant that he surely had an important standing in his clan. Perhaps he even knew something about Proud Heaven.

Looking at Proud Realm, Yang Qi said, "What did you just say? You want me to give you billions of godnotes? I'm happy to talk business with Miss Summer Soundfyre, but do you really think I want to hear some fool like you jabber in my ear? What a joke!"

WHOOSH!

Yang Qi blurred into motion, piercing through space in the blink of an eye and appearing right in front of Proud Realm, where he unleashed a vicious palm toward the man's face.

Proud Realm sensed the killing intent surrounding him and knew he had almost no time to react.

"Hidden Universe!" he shouted, unleashing a killing move that caused energy to swirl around him, taking the shape of a nascent universe. Flickering lights surrounded him, as though an entire universe was collapsing as radiance and light fought darkness and gloom.

Yang Qi was shocked as he realized that his opponent was fighting with something that resembled Proud Heaven's Ten Universes. It was different, but seemed to have similar origins; it apparently connected to some mighty plane of existence, which provided the power for an immense attack.

'This is a move the likes of which no ordinary person could possibly evade. Thankfully, I have experience dealing with the Ten Universes. Furthermore, I've put a huge amount of thought into analyzing how to deal with it. Considering that, dealing with this punk won't be difficult at all.' His hands shifted back and forth between being blades, whips, and cudgels as he targeted what he knew was a central power nexus in the Hidden Universe move. His move struck home and the nascent universe exploded, sending a massive, chaotic shock wave out in all directions.

SPLAT!

A glob of blood erupted from Proud Realm's mouth as he was flung dozens of kilometers in the opposite direction, cracking sounds ringing out as his meridians and godhood shattered.

Yang Qi glided back to Summer Vastcold's side. Flicking his sleeve, he said, "Everything's fine. I smacked the pesky fly away."

'This guy is incredible,' she thought. 'I assumed he was rich, but lacking in strength and energy arts. In fact, I thought that was why he was currying favor with me, because he wanted protection in the Nacrelight Sageland. Who could ever have guessed that he's actually this powerful?' The brief exchange had completely changed Summer Vastcold's impression of Yang Qi.

"You vanquished the energy arts of the Proud Clan?" she said. "The founder of that clan is extremely mysterious, and provided them with extremely enigmatic energy arts. Even I would have to work hard to handle Proud Realm. But you defeated his killing Hidden Universe move without even breaking a sweat?"

"I just got lucky," Yang Qi said, declining to explain, which only furthered his air of mystique.

"Well, go help him up and give him some of these medicinal pills. Then send him back to the Proud Clan." As Yang Qi complied, Summer Vastcold continued, "It's a big surprise to find that you're not just wealthy, Young Sir Void Qi. You also have a shocking cultivation base, making you more than strong enough to protect yourself. That said, you would still be in danger if you encountered an Unbounded enemy."

Yang Qi smiled faintly. "I'm not too worried. I'm fully confident that once you reach the Unbounded level, I'll have nothing to fear from anyone." Of course, his words were very pleasing to her.

Meanwhile, Summer Soundfyre chuckled harshly. "Sounds like you're taking a gamble, Young Sir Void Qi, In the end, Wisdom and Knowledge God Pills aren't easy to concoct. Even with your help, there's only a fifty percent chance of success. And if the pill fails, you'll have lost your investment."

"Nonsense." Summer Vastcold said. "The Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill won't fail. You just wait, Summer Soundfyre. Once I'm an Unbounded expert, I'll do everything in my power to dismantle your faction and make you one of my subordinates."

"Nothing is certain. Even if you concoct the Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill and consume it, there's still only a fifty percent chance that you'll achieve your breakthrough. And you'll also have to deal with the tribulations. There have been plenty of people throughout the history of the Nacrelight Sageland who have gathered all of the precious materials needed to reach the Unbounded level. But how many of them succeeded? Relying on medicinal pills is an easy way to experience cultivation deviation." Smiling radiantly, she said, "I have a proposal, Young Sir Void Qi. You see, I like gambling as well. So why not meet me at the Destined Marriage God Temple later tonight? I'll be waiting."

With that, she turned and left with her retinue.

"We got really unlucky today," Summer Vastcold said, her face ashen from anger. "Let's go. I'm not interested in staying here in the Warfare God Temple."

"What's the Destined Marriage Temple?" Yang Qi asked.

"Summer Soundfyre said she'd wait for you there, are you going to take her up on it?" Summer Vastcold asked.

He turned up his nose. "Like hell I well. You think I take orders from her?"

She laughed. "Actually, I think you need to go. I give you my permission."

"What?!" Yang Qi said, putting on a front of being extremely confused. "Hold on, what's going on here?"

"Oh, nothing. She just wants you to hedge your bets, right? Who knows, maybe she'll be the one to reach the Unbounded level first."

In response, Yang Qi threw his head back and laughed heartily.

"What's so funny?" she said, obviously not sure what he was laughing about. "You think I'm joking or something?"

"You want me to probe her for more information," Yang Qi said bluntly. "She didn't seem nervous at all when you mentioned the Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill, so now you're wondering if there's some conspiracy afoot. After all, whoever reaches the Unbounded level first will obviously be able to crush the other. If you know yourself and know your enemy, you'll always be victorious, right?"

"You're very smart!" Summer Vastcold said. "You pick up on things quickly, and you understand what I'm thinking. There's much more to you than meets the eye, Void Qi."

Chapter 1313: Destined Marriage God Temple

How could someone as experienced as Yang Qi not be able to tell what Summer Vastcold was thinking? Of course, there was no way that she would simply trust him immediately. She was no fool. Considering the ridiculous amount of wealth he'd showered on her, it was obvious he had ulterior motives that went beyond his desire to defy the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty.

And as an experienced faction leader, she was fully capable of playing games.

The fact that Summer Soundfyre had invited Yang Qi to the Destined Marriage God Temple had created the perfect opportunity to get more information. Not only might she get more information about Summer Soundfyre's position, but she could also learn more about Yang Qi and his motives. Who wouldn't want to kill two birds with one stone in this way?

As for Yang Qi, he wasn't so full of himself that he assumed people would just instantly fall in love with him.

Of course, that wasn't his goal anyway. Once he had created a relationship so deep that Summer Vastcold and her faction had to stick by his side, he would be able to make a move on the Mahātmā Jade.

Furthermore, the more godstones and godnotes he threw at them, the more suspicious they would be, and the less inclined they would be to trust him. He was playing with fire, and knew he had to be very careful. If they learned the truth, they would definitely start thinking about taking advantage of him.

"Fine, I'll meet her," Yang Qi said. "That said, Miss Vastcold, I hope that after you reach the Unbounded level, you can help me with a certain matter. It won't involve betraying your sect, nor will it be a violation of morality and justice. What do you say? If you agree, then going forward, I'll do everything in my power to help you."

She smiled. "So, that's how it is. Well, I guessed that you had a reason for getting on my good side, Young Sir Void Qi. Only a complete moron would throw away tens of billions for no reason. What exactly do you need my help with?"

"It's nothing too important, and I'd actually hoped to wait until you reached the Unbounded level to explain. Basically, I need someone to help me open the Lord of Civilization's treasure storehouse." In order to dispel Summer Vastcold's suspicions, Yang Qi had to make up a story that was fantastic, but at the same time believable. If he kept her in the dark, she would be constantly on guard and worried. But if he told her something that could alleviate her concerns, it would loosen tensions and make it much easier to work with her.

"You want to open the treasure storehouse of the Lord of Civilization?!" Summer Vastcold seemed surprised. "Wait, do you mean that only someone with Unbounded will convergence can open it?"

He nodded solemnly. "That's right. Specifically, only my own Unbounded will can open it."

"Then what do you need my help for? Don't tell me you think I'm going to give you my Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill." She chuckled coldly.

He shook his head. "No, I wouldn't do anything like that. It's going to be very difficult for me to reach the Unbounded level, and the Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill won't help. I need something else!"

"Oh, what is it?"

"The treasure storehouse has the Engine of the One God, and within it, the imperial-heaven pre-beginning systems. With that, I can reform my constitution and push my will convergence to a higher level." He smiled faintly. "I'm sure you know a few of the secrets of the Cruiser of Civilization."

"Yes, I do," she replied.

"And isn't there a piece of the cruiser in the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty's treasure storehouse?"

"Oh, you know about that too?" Suddenly, everything clicked for her. "Are you saying the reason you're targeting the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty is because of that?"

"Yes, exactly. The truth is that I need someone who I can trust, an expert with Unbounded will convergence, to join me in a dual cultivation technique that will make me seem like an Unbounded expert. Then I can get into that treasure storehouse. Of course, you'll also be able to have your pick of the treasure."

"So that's how it is. And why exactly do you think you can trust me?" She still seemed a bit suspicious.

"Because I'm a good judge of character. Also, the Nacrelight Sageland is an orthodox sect. You people won't murder others just to get treasure. Besides, I plan to spend more time getting to know you. Once we're actually friends, I'll actually be able to trust you." Yang Qi was wording things so well that he had almost convinced himself of what he was saying.

His skill at lying had long since reached the ultimate level.

"Now I understand," she said. "In that case, I feel a bit better. Fine, let's team up. But first, you have to do everything you can to help me reach the Unbounded level."

"A word once spoken..." Yang Qi said, extending his hand.

"... cannot be taken back even by a team of four horses," Summer Vastcold finished, reaching out with her own beautiful, delicate hand to clasp his. With that, they formalized their agreement and reached a temporary position of mutual trust.

"You have to be very careful with Summer Soundfyre. She's not going to be easy to deal with..." As they continued along, Summer Vastcold went on to explain many details about Summer Soundfyre.

Meanwhile, off in the distance, Summer Soundfyre and her people were talking about Yang Qi.

"Elder Sister Soundfyre, that Void Qi is truly incredible. Where exactly is he from? He actually defeated Proud Realm with a single move! It's hard to tell what level he's really at. After all, Proud Realm is an early Consummate God."

"Whatever," Summer Soundfyre said. "Proud Realm is scum who used a bunch of medicinal pills from the Proud Clan to achieve his breakthroughs. If I didn't need to give face to the Proud Clan, I wouldn't give him the time of day. That said, I'm definitely interested in this Void Qi. I wonder who he really is."

"Elder Sister, are you really going to meet him tonight at the Destined Marriage God Temple?" another female disciple asked. "That's where couples usually go for dates. Isn't that going to give people the impression you're interested in him? Rumors will fly! You're an expert at manipulating men, but you've never had a date with someone at the Destined Marriage God Temple. So why are you starting now?"

"It's not a big deal," Summer Soundfyre replied coolly. "He's obviously key to Summer Vastcold's plan for her breakthrough. As long as I can get him on our side, and get access to his wealth, our Soundfyre Society will be able to move on to the next phase of our plan. Hmph! I'm definitely going to reach the Unbounded level before Summer Vastcold!"

"But how are you going to deal with him, Elder Sister?"

"Oh, I have my ways. Suffice to say, this meeting at the Destined Marriage God Temple is only to get an idea of what he's capable of."

"But Elder Sister, what if Void Qi doesn't show up?"

Summer Soundfyre laughed. "He'll definitely show up. If nothing else, Summer Vastcold will want to get more information about me, so she'll make him meet me. Trust me, I know her all too well."

Later that night...

It was evening, with only a bit of light left on the horizon, and a host of twinkling stars overhead. It provided a very romantic backdrop. The Destined Marriage God Temple of the Nacrelight Sageland was a place filled with beautiful, ancient statues, as well as inscriptions of poetry and countless fresh flowers. It was clearly a place devoted to romantic love, a location where people would whisper sweet nothings into each other's ears.

There were couples everywhere, and the atmosphere was filled with romance. Originally, it had been a location where female disciples would come to be married, but now it was mostly used for dating.

Normally speaking, when a young woman felt sparks with a young man, she would invite him here to see if true romance would blossom.

"Hey everyone, look! That's the leader of the Soundfyre Society, Summer Soundfyre. I can't believe she's here for a date! Don't tell me..."

"Summer Soundfyre usually manipulates men, nothing more. So why is she bringing one here for a date? Hasn't she sworn off all men in existence?"

"There's no man in existence who'll ever win Summer Soundfyre's heart," a man said. "It's hard to say how many men have fallen for her schemes."

As soon as Summer Soundfyre looked over at the gossipers, they went as silent as cicadas in winter and hurried away to other corners of the chapel.

WHOOSH!

A moment later, Yang Qi approached her.

"I knew you'd come," she said, smiling at him. "At first, you didn't want to, but Summer Vastcold convinced you to come fish for information."

"Impressive. You guessed exactly right. Now that I've done what she asked by coming here, I'm done." With that, he turned to leave.

"Hold on," she said hurriedly. "Maybe we can come to an agreement."

"You and Summer Vastcold are archenemies. Meanwhile, I'm just getting to know her. If I suddenly start working with you, it would ruin my relationship with her." He waved his hand dismissively. "Forget it. I'm not interested in standing with a foot in two different boats. It might seem fun, but I'd only make a fool of myself in trying to be clever. Besides, getting mixed up with you two will only get me killed."

"Look, I know what you're after. You want to help Summer Vastcold reach the Unbounded level so she can help you with some task. Unfortunately, you've bet on the wrong party. How about you help me reach the Unbounded level instead? If you tie yourself to her, you're just going to make it harder on yourself in the future."

"You want to reach the Unbounded level?" He stopped and looked back, his eyes glittering. "And how exactly do you plan to do that?"

"Simple. Aren't you aware of Summer Vastcold's secret weapon? Her whole plan revolves around that Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill. But I don't care about that. You see, I know for a fact that I'll reach the Unbounded level before her. Want to know my secret?"

"What?" he said. "You're saying you have some secret weapon too? Don't tell me you have something superior to a Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill."

"I'll tell you in a moment. First, we have something else to discuss." Summer Soundfyre had slowly but surely seized the initiative in their conversation.

Chapter 1314: History

"What exactly do you have to say, Miss Soundfyre?" Yang Qi said, his expression softening. Of course, he was simply putting on a show. None of these people could possibly guess what he was really planning. As someone who had experienced so many things in life, how could he possibly let people like these understand his true motives?

Only outstanding people like King Immortal-Slayer, or perhaps other Paramount Gods, could possibly read into Yang Qi true thoughts and motives.

Shoulder to shoulder, the two of them strolled through the temple, which was actually a god kingdom in its own right. It had its own sky full of glittering stars, and at the moment, a meteor shower was making it look particularly beautiful, almost reminiscent of the godhood stars in the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart.

As Yang Qi looked around, he realized that whoever created this place had combined the diametrically opposed daos of love and heartlessness into one, creating a unique dao of heaven that was simultaneously emotional and emotionless. Its structure was strong and tight, such that it couldn't easily be broken. That said, Yang Qi had already reached the level of being able to pierce through god kingdoms.

If he were back in the god kingdom of the House of God Ordainment, he could easily destroy the place. However, this Destined Marriage God Temple was vastly stronger than that, and was something he couldn't deal with as easily.

Right now, he definitely couldn't destroy it.

"Young Sir Void Qi, do you know much about the history of the Destined Marriage God Temple?"

"The person who created the Destined Marriage God Temple was no minor figure," Yang Qi said, looking visibly surprised by what he was seeing. "Who could possibly create a place like this?"

"You have sharp eyes, Young Sir Void Qi," Summer Soundfyre said with a sigh of admiration. "Truth be told, the Destined Marriage God Temple is the most profound and enigmatic location in our entire sect, even surpassing the Supplication God Temple. Originally, it should never even have come to exist in the Nacrelight Sageland, and it wouldn't have, save for a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering event."

"What event was that?" Yang Qi asked curiously.

"As you already know, Young Sir, the Nacrelight Sageland originally had strict rules enforcing the hatred of men. Any man who came to this place would be executed without hesitation. And the women here weren't permitted to have dealings with any man, upon penalty of death. But things are different now. Men are allowed to come here to woo our disciples, which indicates that somewhere along the line, there was a major change. Doesn't that pique your curiosity?"

"It does. It must've been a very dramatic change, something akin to a revolution. Although, I can't imagine there having been an actual civil war. The Nacrelight Sageland does indeed have the reputation of hating men, but after coming here I realized that things were different. And now I've come to find that the Destined Marriage God Temple is a place for love and romance. It's almost too much to believe. Furthermore, I met Vastcold's Master, Mother Voidwalker, who seems to cling to the tradition of hating men."

"Long, long ago, there was a woman in the Nacrelight Sageland who was named Summer Sentimental, who fell in love with a man from the outside. Back then, the women of the Nacrelight Sageland had strict instructions to either kill or enslave any men they encountered. Even speaking to a man unnecessarily was considered a big crime. So what do you think they did to that woman? The chief elders arrested her, threw her in prison, and sentenced her to death."

Looking around at the Destined Marriage God Temple, Summer Soundfyre continued explaining the history of the place. "However, Summer Sentimental's man came right here and demanded that his lover be handed over. It led to a massive battle in which nine Unbounded experts all teamed up against him. In fact, the three top matriarchs of the sect joined the fight, all of them Paramount Gods. Yet, despite all of that, the man destroyed the spell formation and saved his lover. The three matriarchs, who were all top apprentices of the High Priestess, subsequently changed the rules of the sect to allow for romantic relationships. The Destined Marriage God Temple was built by that very man who'd come to rescue his lover, and it's survived untouched for hundreds of millions of years. Many elite experts of the sect tried to destroy it, but none have succeeded. And in fact, their efforts caused them such grief that, eventually, no one dared to do anything to it. Nor has anyone dared to reinstitute the previous rules of the sect demanding that all men be killed. After all, everyone feared the return of the man who created the Destined Marriage God Temple."

"Did this man have a name?" Yang Qi asked. After all, the Nacrelight Sageland of the past must have been vastly more powerful than the current incarnation, yet that man had single-handedly taken it on.

How powerful must the apprentices of the High Priestess have been?

Of course, Yang Qi had met people who were close to the level of King Immortal-Slayer, the Sovereign Lord, and the High Priestess. Furthermore, Yang Immortal-Slayer was currently an apprentice of King Immortal-Slayer, and his future successor.

"He had no name, and no one knows who he was or where he came from. In fact, after all the time that's passed, many experienced and knowledgeable Paramount Gods have weighed in on the subject, and even run investigations, all to no avail. Those were the years during which chaos reigned, and war raged between the Sovereign Lord, High Priestess, King Immortal-Slayer, and various ancient God-Lords. Many major gods vanished during those dark ages. Great figures rose, and great figures fell. In any case, the three matriarchs of the sect offered sacrifices and prayer to the fallen High Priestess, who responded by saying that the man was a Fateless One, therefore it was impossible to learn anything about him or his fate."

'What?!' Yang Qi thought, stunned. At first, the story hadn't seemed to be anything special. A woman fell in love with a powerful man and was subsequently imprisoned by her sect, then rescued by the man, who then forced the sect to acknowledge him.

But then he found out that this 'nameless' man was a Fateless One, and Yang Qi realized that the story wasn't so simple after all. After all, he was also a Fateless One, and as far as he knew, there wasn't anyone else like him. Two tigers cannot live on one mountain, and generally speaking, there couldn't be two Fateless Ones in the same era.

If there was another Fateless One, did that person have some connection to Yang Qi?

Where was he from? Apparently, not even the High Priestess' apprentices had ever learned anything about him. And it seemed unlikely that the perished High Priestess's lingering psyche would be mistaken about the man being a Fateless One.

Numerous thoughts were running through Yang Qi's mind, but in the end, he couldn't reach any conclusions. That said, he had the feeling that his journey to the Nacrelight Sageland was going to result in some dramatic upheavals. And he had the feeling that even if he tried to abandon this mission right now, he would surely get dragged into whatever storm was brewing.

Besides, he had no intention of leaving. He needed to get the Mahātmā Jade, become a Paramount God, then ultimately shake off the fetters of the God Legion Seal and the Unspoiled Body to reach the Annulled level.

Seeing Yang Qi standing there silently, Summer Soundfyre asked, "What are you thinking?"

Of course, there was no way she would ever guess that he was a Fateless One.

"I'm wondering what kind of man he was," Yang Qi replied calmly. "The Nacrelight Sageland carries on the core teachings and doctrines of the High Priestess, who was a contemporary of the King of Godmammoths, and served alongside him as a key subordinate of the Sovereign Lord. Yet not even her top three apprentices could pierce this mysterious man's secrets. There are a lot of 'nameless' experts in the god world, hidden here and there."

"Aren't you one of those 'nameless' experts?" she asked. "The first thing you did here in the Nacrelight Sageland was defeat Proud Realm. And not even I can tell what your true level is."

Yang Qi laughed involuntarily. "You think that because I defeated Proud Realm that I'm some consummate expert? That piece of trash has virtually no fighting experience. I could tell with a single glance that he's a greenhouse flower who's so full of himself he has no idea what real ability is."

"You're right, defeating Proud Realm isn't anything worth mentioning. But why exactly have you been throwing your wealth around? Tell me, exactly how rich are you?" It was no surprise that, after telling her story, Summer Soundfyre started trying to pry information from Yang Qi.

"What if I told you there's no end to the money I have access to?" he said with a smile. "Then what? Would you rob me?"

"There's no end to the money you have access to? Only the Sovereign Lord would ever dare to say something like that, as he controlled the entire legion of gods. You might have the legacy of the Lord of Civilization, but there's no way you have that much money. Keep throwing your money away and you'll run out eventually."

"The money I got from the Lord of Civilization is enough to keep me going for a long time, even if I throw it away. Besides, I really don't care about wealth. Miss Soundfyre, if you want me to invest in you, that's not out of the question. But you have to tell me exactly what you want. What do you need to reach the Unbounded level? I'm curious whether you'll achieve the breakthrough first, or if Summer Vastcold will. I wouldn't mind betting on both of you, considering how amazing the two of you are."

"Fine, I'll explain, as long as you don't tell the truth to Summer Vastcold. First, though, how am I supposed to trust you? If word of my secret leaks. Summer Vastcold will definitely try to stop me and ruin my plan. And if that happens, you'll never be able to make up for it. Furthermore, I need to purchase various items to ensure my plan works. So I really need to know how much money you have."

"How much do you need?" Yang Qi asked.

"At least two hundred billion godnotes," she replied. It was really an astronomical number.

Chapter 1315: Master Plan

Yang Qi laughed. "Two hundred billion godnotes. Are you joking, Miss Soundfyre?"

It wasn't as though the idea of two hundred billion godnotes was shocking to him. He could create that many if he wanted to. But even in the god world, that was a huge sum. The imperial court of the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty would have trouble putting together that much wealth, and not even their crown prince would likely manage to secure such a loan. The only way he could would be if the emperor and ministers all agreed to it.

Yet Summer Soundfyre was directly asking for that much. Her outrageous demand made her seem like a lion opening its jaws wide.

"I bet you think I'm like a lion opening its jaws wide, don't you?" she said, smiling.

"That's right. And not just an ordinary lion. You're like a nine-headed lion. Your appetite seems out of control."

"So you're saying you can't give me that much?" she replied. From her tone, it seemed she didn't think her request was too big at all. "In any case, that was just a test to see how much money you have access to. If you can produce that much, my assessment of you will completely change."

He thought for a moment, then said, "I can produce that much, but it will take some time."

Now it was Summer Soundfyre's turn to look taken aback. "You can really get that much money? You'd better not be joking about this. I wasn't really being serious, you know. I didn't think you would really have access to that much wealth."

However, after looking at his expression, she realized that he wasn't exaggerating.

Originally, she hadn't dared to hope that this deal would work out, and was only trying to negotiate with him to assess his financial state.

Who could have guessed that he would actually give her hope?

"Two hundred billion godnotes is no small sum. Not even I can just casually produce that amount of wealth. Also, I need to know what your plan is, and if it's even realistic. If it is, and if I can benefit by helping you, then I will. What do you say?"

Waving his hand, he caused the air around them to crystallize, then turn into godnotes that poured down into her hands. "Here's ten billion godnotes. Consider it a deposit. Now, out with your plan."

"Oh?" she blurted. Accepting the godnotes in astonishment, she looked at them closely with divine will, and found that they were real. "You're really not worried that I'll just take the money and refuse to tell you my plan?"

"Not really," he replied coolly. "I can tell that you have some sort of master plan, and clearly you need money to implement it. I'm the only person who can give you the money you need. If you're the type to just take my money and run, then so be it. I don't care about a paltry sum like ten billion."

"Now I'm starting to believe that you really can produce two hundred billion godnotes. I've never seen anyone from any faction who can just pull out ten billion godnotes as a gift. The Lord of Civilization's treasure trove really lives up to its reputation. I suppose it makes sense. In the past, the Lord of Civilization was one of the main God-Lords responsible for creating the godnotes we use here in the god world."

Putting the godnotes away, she said, "Considering this gift, I won't hide the truth from you. I know of a shortcut to reach the Unbounded level, with the only downside being that the rate of success is only thirty percent."

"A thirty percent success rate?" Yang Qi said. "That's not bad. I doubt Summer Vastcold's Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill will provide much more than a thirty percent chance of success, either. And that's not to mention the low success rate of concocting the pill to begin with. Considering your chances are so much higher than hers, maybe I should bet on you instead."

"You'd better not reveal any of this to Summer Vastcold," Summer Soundfyre said with another smile. "Did you ever really think you could woo her? She uses men, that's all. To her, men are just tools."

"The same as you," he said with a chuckle. "Now, please explain your plan in detail."

"Fine, let's not mince words." Drawing on a minor energy art, she created a canopy that surrounded them and provided them with some privacy. "You're familiar with the Supplication God Temple, right?"

"Yes. It's one of the most mysterious locations in the Nacrelight Sageland. However, there doesn't seem to be any standard for how it works. Some people pray for a day and get blessed by the High Priestess, while some people can pray for hundreds of years with no results."

"That's right. The Supplication God Temple is a completely profound and mysterious place. The High Priestess was like a prime minister to the Sovereign Lord, officiating all rites and ceremonies. She led the legion of gods in worship of the Sovereign Lord, and presided over the creation of the God Legion Seal. But in the end, the Sovereign Lord gave the God Legion Seal to the King of Godmammoths. In any case, in the course of her duties, the High Priestess created her own unique god kingdom, which was different from all other kinds of god kingdoms. It contained the power of the entire primeval age, as well as the godpower of the Sovereign Lord. It was that god kingdom that provided the foundational power of the Nacrelight Sageland. In other words, it's the Supplication God Temple, and it's how we've managed to survive unscathed for so many millions upon millions of years. When dramatic circumstances arrive, the Supplication God Temple will select a powerful disciple to benefit from an influx of the High Priestess' power, which will push that person to the Unbounded level."

Yang Qi listened carefully and with patience. After all, this was all very important information.

The High Priestess had been roughly on the same level as King Immortal-Slayer, and her god kingdom had been built with the godpower of the Sovereign Lord. In that respect, it even rivaled the halls of heaven. And when disciples prayed in it, the blessings they received were such that it seemed entirely likely it could produce multiple Unbounded experts.

"Actually, I've discovered the standards by which praying works," Summer Soundfyre said. "It has to do with the quality of the sacrifice. I spent a lot of time studying the ancient records in the Scripture Pavilion, and I found a book containing the ceremonial records of the High Priestess herself. After gathering certain resources, I performed a test in the Supplication God Temple, and used those ancient methods along with prayer to confirm that the god kingdom can draw on the divine might of the High Priestess. Using that method is definitely a valid way to reach the Unbounded level, and compared to it, Wisdom and Knowledge God Pills are like children's toys."

"An ancient ceremony," Yang Qi said, his brow furrowing. "And no one's ever tried this before?"

"Never. The main reason is that it requires too many resources. Remember, I asked for two hundred billion godnotes. Throughout the history of the Nacrelight Sageland, there's never been a single person who could accumulate that much wealth. Furthermore, given there's only a thirty percent chance of success, a failure would essentially mean losing one's entire life savings."

"If you failed, you would lose my life savings. And if you succeed, but failed to reach the Unbounded level, then not only would it be unhelpful to me, but you would also probably try to kill me and take the rest of my wealth. Neither outcome is good. This whole thing seems far too dangerous."

"Do you really think I'm that untrustworthy?" Summer Soundfyre said, sounding less than pleased. "The Nacrelight Sageland is a righteous and orthodox sect, after all."

"When there's enough profit to be made, any so-called righteous and orthodox sect would be tempted. Forget the Nacrelight Sageland, even the Lord of Radiance and Light himself could be lured onto the path of darkness and gloom. How exactly am I supposed to trust that you'll help me after you reach the Unbounded level?"

"What do you suggest? Don't tell me you want me to bring you with me to the ceremony. Unfortunately, that would only lower the chances of success. Furthermore, you're not a disciple here, so there's no way you'd be blessed by the High Priestess. Instead, you would die. After all, the High Priestess hated men with a passion."

"No, I'm not interested in that. I want you to help me get a treasure that's here in the Nacrelight Sageland."

At this point, Yang Qi finally decided to reveal the bait.

"What treasure? There are a lot of signature treasures here. Unfortunately, if that's what you're after, you're going to be disappointed. Even if I reached the Unbounded level, I probably wouldn't be able to help you get any of the sect's signature treasures."

"No," he said, waving his hand dismissively. "The treasure I want won't be of any use to the Nacrelight Sageland." As they conversed, Yang Qi secretly slipped a tiny devil embryo into Summer Soundfyre. Although he couldn't use it to control her, he could at least spy on her. And only Unbounded will convergence could possibly reveal the existence of the embryo.

"Well what treasure is it, then?"

"A piece of the Mahātmā Jade," he replied. "I know that the Nacrelight Sageland and the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty discovered an evil treasure trove belonging to the True Devil. And you got a piece of the Mahātmā Jade from it. That's what I want. Can you help me get it? If not, I don't see how we can continue to work together. That said, even if our business deal fails, we can still be friends. And you can consider that ten billion to be a gift between friends."

"A piece of the Mahātmā Jade?" Summer Soundfyre said. "That's what you want? It's a boundless treasure, except it's only a fragment of the whole. Plenty of Paramount Gods from our sect have studied it without ever uncovering any of its secrets. It's a very dangerous thing that can lead to cultivation deviation. I heard it's the same in the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty; no one has ever been able to unlock its secrets. So why do you want it?"

"I won't personally be able to benefit from the Mahātmā Jade. However, I'm acquainted with a Paramount God from the dao of devils who's willing to trade it for something extremely valuable to me." Yang Qi was so adept and spinning yarns such as this that he hardly needed to think about it.

Of course, even if he had told the truth and said that he planned to assimilate the Mahātmā Jade, there was no way Summer Soundfyre would have believed him.

"Are you from the dao of devils?" Summer Soundfyre asked, suddenly on guard.

Yang Qi laughed. "Look at me. Do I seem like I am?"

"You're obviously a scholar from a confucian college, who cultivates pure confucian techniques. So it's surprising that you're friends with a Paramount God from the dao of devils. People like that are unreasonable, villainous backstabbers. They would kill, sell, or even eat their own wife or child if it benefited them. Maybe you made a deal with a Paramount God like that, but that's like asking a tiger for its skin. Definitely far more dangerous than working out a deal with me." Summer Soundfyre was obviously wording things vaguely in the hopes of getting Yang Qi to reveal more information.

"I have things planned out well," Yang Qi said. "Besides, I don't intend to just hand the Mahātmā Jade over to that Paramount God. I'm going to make sure that, in the end, he ends up completely empty-handed."

"Which Paramount God is it?"

"You know I can't tell you that. Let's cut to the chase. Are you going to help me get that piece of jade, or not?"

"It's a difficult request. Although nobody in the sect can use the Mahātmā Jade, it is an extremely valuable treasure, created long ago by the True Devil himself, and filled with profound secrets. Not even I can just waltz into the treasure storehouse. The only people who have that right are Paramount Gods, in other words, the housemother and chief eldresses. That said, considering it's not a signature treasure that we actually use for the protection of the sect, it's not impossible to acquire it. Of course, the chances of success will be very small. Perhaps one in ten thousand."

She thought for a moment. "I'll try to find an opportunity to get into the treasure storehouse and find exactly where the Mahātmā Jade is. But that's all I can do. Once I have Unbounded will convergence, and along with it, a higher position in the sect, I'll have the authority to help you take the jade."

"Fine. In that case, I'm going to place two bets. One on you, and one on Summer Vastcold. Hopefully the cooperation between the two of us works out well. For now, gather all the items you need for the ceremony, and I'll start putting together the cash."

"Excellent. You help me reach the Unbounded level, and I'll help you get the Mahātmā Jade. It's a deal."

"Deal."

Yang Qi knew that he couldn't truly trust or rely on either Summer Soundfyre or Summer Vastcold. And that was why he had other motives for helping them reach the Unbounded level. He had already infected them both with devil embryos, which he could activate when they attempted their breakthroughs, forcing them to fail. It hadn't been easy, but he had figured out a way to do it.

Having been in the Nacrelight Sageland for some time, he was familiar with the techniques its disciples used, and the vital energy in the area. By using his Sage Monarch Grand Magic in combination with the quintessence of this heaven and earth, he was able to do the impossible. And even though the legacy of the High Priestess was very impressive, it couldn't separate itself from the influence of the God Legion Seal.

When the two women attempted their breakthroughs, they would fail, and all the power they were using would be transmitted to him. Because of that, it was entirely possible he could achieve his desired breakthrough even without using the Mahātmā Jade.

In any case, Summer Vastcold and Summer Soundfyre were lucky that the 'help' he was giving them wouldn't kill them. He really was dragging them into a big plot.

As he had just agreed, Yang Qi went on to explain various daoist techniques and energy arts to Summer Soundfyre, including some of his imperial-heaven pre-beginning powers. During the process, he learned more about the quintessence of the Nacrelight Sageland.

The High Priestess had been skilled in all sorts of arts of sacrifice, and in fact, they closely resembled his own Sagely Sacrifice. Therefore, as he learned about the techniques of the Nacrelight Sageland, he was able to quickly devise methods to counter them if necessary.

Soon, the sun was rising. They had spent the entire night talking and exchanging information.

"We both benefited a lot tonight," Summer Soundfyre said. "I hope we can do this again soon. In the future, you can visit me in my mansion grotto, the Fyre Zither Hall. Take this medallion; it'll let you in whenever you want. This is the first time I've ever given a medallion like this to a man."

"Many thanks," Yang Qi said, accepting it. "Now I'll go see Summer Vastcold. Don't worry, I won't tell her anything about your ceremony."

She laughed. "No, that's fine. Tell her. If you don't, how will you earn her trust? I know you want things to go smoothly. Just remember, if you try to stand with a foot in two different boats, you'll eventually fall. At some point, you'll need to pick one of us, or the other."

Yang Qi laughed. "I will, eventually. It'll be easy. Whichever of you reaches the Unbounded level first will be my choice."

"Alright!"

With a swoosh, Summer Soundfyre vanished.

Yang Qi stood there thinking for a moment, then left himself. A short time later, he was in a heavenly palace that resembled a shining moon. It was Vastcold Palace, which was Summer Vastcold's mansion grotto. She was a Consummate God, so she had a high position in the sect, similar to Dragon Floret's position as leader of the Dragon Society. She and the others like her vied for leadership of the entire sect, and were beyond the influence of most other people.

When Yang Qi arrived, the disciples didn't dare to bar his path, but in fact, led the way. "Young Sir Void Qi, Elder Sister Vastcold is in the depths of the palace working on her cultivation. There's no need to announce your presence, we can take you right to her."

"Many thanks."

Yang Qi was led into a wide hall that was filled with the darkness of night. However, there were also a thousand moons rising overhead, casting beautiful, cold light everywhere.

This was where Summer Vastcold practiced cultivation.

Yang Qi didn't interrupt her. He simply sat down quietly and waited. An hour passed before she finally opened her eyes, whereupon the numerous moons slowly sank back down into her body. Looking at Yang Qi, she smiled. "Well? How did your evening discussion with Summer Soundfyre go? Did you find out what she's planning to do?"

He nodded. "I know everything she's planning. She found an ancient sacrificial technique that she plans to use in the Supplication God Temple. She believes the noble spirit of the High Priestess will bless her with the power of prayer, which she can use to reach the Unbounded level."

"What?!" Summer Vastcold said. "An ancient sacrificial technique? What a stupid idea. Wait, did you find out what specific technique it is?"

"She didn't say. It's obviously a big secret, and she's not stupid enough to just tell me all the details. In fact, I suspect that she might have told me this knowing that I would reveal it to you, hoping it would affect your thinking. Maybe she wants you to experience cultivation deviation when you take the Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill. Furthermore, I have no way to determine if she was telling the truth or not."

"You're right," Summer Vastcold said. "She's full of craft and cunning, and absolutely must not be trusted. Did she ask for your help?"

"Yes. She said that to complete the ceremony, she needs innumerable precious materials, and that she can't afford all of them. So she proposed a cooperation." He smiled coldly. "But I'm no fool. It's not as if I'll just hand over money without getting something in return."

"She actually asked for a loan from you to perform her ceremony? Hmph! I can already see what's going on here. It must be a very expensive ceremony. How much did she ask for?"

"Two hundred billion," Yang Qi said.

"What?!" she blurted. "Say that again? Did I hear clearly? How much?!"

"Two hundred billion!" he repeated.

Summer Vastcold's face went slack for a moment, but then she sneered and rose to her feet. Pacing back and forth, she said, "Two hundred billion... two hundred billion... Not even a host of sects in the Nacrelight Sageland could come up with that much money, at least not quickly. She's like a lion opening its jaws wide. Incredible. This Summer Soundfyre really doesn't know the height of the heavens and the breadth of the earth. So what did you say? Did you agree?"

"Of course not! I said I could probably come up with that much money, but that it would take time. Furthermore, I knew that even if I wanted to come up with some plot against her, I'd still need to come back here and discuss the matter with you first."

"Can you really produce two hundred billion?" she asked quizzically.

"Not easily. But given enough time, I could. Maybe in six months or a year." In this regard, he wasn't lying. He could make godnotes, but it took effort.

"Incredible. Simply incredible. Two hundred billion godnotes is an incredible amount. I think you and I need to talk things over again. It seems to me that if Summer Vastcold really needs that much money to perform her ceremony, then without your help, she'll never succeed."

"That's exactly the situation," Yang Qi said. "So there's no way I'm going to give her the money."

"No. You have to help her. It's an opportunity provided by heaven itself. Remember, there are dangers involved in using the Wisdom and Knowledge Pill. I might not necessarily reach the Unbounded level. But if I could use that sacrificial technique at the same time, it would increase my chances of success to seventy or eighty percent. That's the safest bet. In other words, I need you to work with Summer Vastcold, but in the end, after she's collected all of the materials, we'll steal them from her!"

Chapter 1317: Concocting the Pill

Neither Summer Vastcold nor Summer Soundfyre were inconsequential figures.

Yang Qi couldn't help but be surprised at how, in the briefest of moments, Summer Vastcold came up with a ruthless plan to rake the firewood from beneath the kettle of her opponent, and inflict treacherous losses. 'This woman is vicious and merciless,' he thought. 'It doesn't matter if I help her or not, she won't be grateful. She didn't even ask my opinion on the matter. She just told me to give Summer Soundfyre the two hundred billion godnotes and then wait to take advantage of the situation later. I guess I'm working for her now.'

Everything from Summer Vastcold's tone to her words put Yang Qi on guard as he realized that she was not someone to take lightly.

After all, the other men she had drawn into her web had ended up picked clean to the point where not even their bones remained behind.

It made sense. In the Nacrelight Sageland, men generally didn't suffer good fates. Ninety-nine percent were fools who ended up getting killed. But many of them were fine with that. They were people who became too devoted to women, and allowed themselves to be used and discarded.

Thankfully, Yang Qi wasn't the kind of person that could be easily taken advantage of. He would allow these women to use him as a pawn, and as long as they didn't harm him, he wouldn't take the initiative to harm them.

"What?" Yang Qi said with glittering eyes. Not wanting there to be any misunderstandings, he continued, "You want me to give Summer Soundfyre the two hundred billion godnotes? That's no small sum. If I give her that much wealth, I need to benefit from it as well, and right now, I don't see how I will."

Looking up at Yang Qi, Summer Vastcold said, "You're right. Two hundred billion is a huge sum, but this is a good opportunity. As I said, even a Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill doesn't guarantee a breakthrough. But if I could benefit from that ceremony, it would be a very different story. Young Sir Void Qi, I have to beseech you for your aid in this. Afterward, I'll fulfill any request you have."

"Any request?" His heart pounded a bit at her statement; it was very clear that she was willing to do anything for him if he could help her succeed. Other men might have felt overwhelmed at this, but not Yang Qi. He wasn't inclined to trust women, and had never developed romantic feelings for a member of the opposite sex. Of course, all of that stemmed back to the situation with Yun Hailan, which had set him on the path of being distrustful of women.

As for Jadefall and the other women like her, he considered them his siblings, which was a completely different matter.

In other words, seduction just wouldn't work on Yang Qi.

In the exact same moment that Summer Vastcold said "any request you have", Yang Qi felt a pulsing psychic fluctuation that was obviously her attempting to seduce him, to change his thoughts and desires so she would be better able to manipulate him.

'This is a very powerful art of seduction,' he thought, shaken. 'She's trying to entice me with her most powerful technique, something that can actually change a person's view of the world. Incredible. I wonder if this is some secret magic from the High Priestess.'

Moments ago, Yang Qi had suddenly felt as though her suggestion wasn't a very bad idea at all, which was a complete reversal of his actual worldview.

His world didn't contain romantic feelings for the opposite sex. He espoused nothingness, and pursued the dao of the Annulled, which was empty, devoid of anything, and completely pure. But she had attempted to change that worldview, and had even succeeded to some extent, showing how incredibly powerful the technique was.

It would have worked on any other person, without them even realizing what was happening.

He quickly severed such thoughts, leaving no trace of them behind. However, he didn't show any trace of that externally. He simply smiled and said, "Fine, it's a deal. As long as I have your word, Miss Vastcold, then I can die without regrets. Even if I go broke helping you reach the Unbounded level, it would be worth it."

Smiling broadly at his words, she said, "Oh, don't crack jokes, Young Sir Void Qi. How could you possibly go broke? Actually, we need to talk this matter over. You might have a lot of wealth, but you can't just go throwing it around. Summer Soundfyre isn't a moron, so you can't let her on to your weaknesses. Thankfully, I have a lot of information about her, and can reveal many of her secrets to you. That way, you can be a lot more confident in dealing with her."

"That sounds great. I'll follow your lead in everything." Yang Qi was making sure to seem like he was willing to follow all of Summer Vastcold's orders.

In response, her smile grew even broader, and her attitude, more genial.

"Young Sir Void Qi, your daoist techniques are incredible, so I hope you'll give me some advice. I've heard that the imperial-heaven pre-beginning powers are among the most refined of psychic secret magics. Is there any more information you can give me about them? Of course, I'm not asking for a handout. I'll explain some of the psychic cultivation techniques we have here in the Nacrelight Sageland. For instance, the Chiliocosm Unrestrained Mental Dharma. How about it?"

Summer Vastcold was trying to slowly lure Yang Qi deeper and deeper into her control.

"Chiliocosm Unrestrained Mental Dharma?" Yang Qi said, looking surprised. "I've never even heard of it. I thought the Nacrelight Sageland's top mental dharma was called the Soul-Sacrificing Heaven Method. It involves sacrificing one's psyche to reverse the dao of heaven and take control of anything and everything."

"Wrong. Our top mental cultivation is indeed the Chiliocosm Unrestrained Mental Dharma. The chiliocosm aspect isn't to be taken literally, but rather relates to a chiliocosm of worlds that exists within your heart and mind. In other words, it relates to your worldview. Every person has their own unique perspective on the world, which is what leads to there being a 'chiliocosm' of worlds. You see, everything about you, including your thoughts, your will, your soul, your spirit... perhaps even the world itself, are all products of the way you view what is around you. Illusions are unrestrained, and we must transform those illusions, pierce through them, and leap past them, returning to the world that is real. And that is the fundamental nature and meaning of the Chiliocosm Unrestrained Mental Dharma."

"How exquisite!" Yang Qi said. He truly had received a sudden flash of enlightenment, but at the same time was more on guard than ever. This technique was shocking, and befitting of something that had been created by the High Priestess. And it was more obvious than ever that Summer Vastcold was using this moment of discussion about daoist techniques to actually try to take control of and transform him.

As he put on his act, he drew on the devil embryo inside Summer Vastcold to peer into what she was thinking.

This was actually a contest of wills, and even if Summer Vastcold were more formidable than she was, she couldn't possibly be a match for Yang Qi. After all, he had the God Legion Seal, monarch godhood, and some of the Mahātmā Jade.

Meanwhile, Summer Vastcold was thinking to herself, 'After seeing Void Qi, my Master taught me the Chiliocosm Unrestrained Mental Dharma. No wonder. Using it right now is the perfect way to get control of him. There's no way that he wants my help to open the supposed treasure trove of the Lord of Civilization. He must have some other scheme afoot, otherwise he wouldn't be throwing away so much wealth. Well, now I'm using him. He's making a fool of himself in trying to be clever, and now that he's fallen for my Chiliocosm Unrestrained Mental Dharma, it'll only take a thought on my part to make him fulfill any request I make. Such as giving me every last bit of his wealth...'

All such thoughts were now clearly apparent right in Yang Qi's sea of consciousness.

Inside, he chuckled coldly. Despite offering up his imperial-heaven pre-beginning powers, it was a given that Summer Vastcold wouldn't give him the complete Chiliocosm Unrestrained Mental Dharma. She would only give him bits and pieces. That said, he didn't care. He could fill in the missing parts on his own later.

They were both double-dealing, but in the end, Summer Vastcold was convinced that Yang Qi had fallen right into her trap, even though he hadn't.

The discussion went on for half a month, during which time Yang Qi's cultivation base grew more and more refined. He had taken about thirty to forty percent of the Chiliocosm Unrestrained Mental Dharma, and still had plenty of energy to spare to defend against Summer Vastcold. At the same time, he would occasionally reach out to Summer Soundfyre and give her godnotes.

He also took time to absorb some of the Unbounded medicinal pills he had already acquired to bolster his godpower, improve his cultivation base, and refine his godhood. He was now a mid Consummate God, and was confident that he would soon reach the late and peak levels. All he needed was enough power.

As for Summer Vastcold, she was elated in her belief that she had thoroughly entranced Yang Qi.

Yang Qi knew he had to be very careful. Summer Vastcold's Master, Mother Voidwalker, was a very ferocious individual, and if she came to realize that he had infected her apprentice with a devil embryo, the consequences would be horrific. In fact, he would likely die.

Another month passed, whereupon Summer Vastcold anxiously summoned Yang Qi into her presence. "Young Sir Void Qi, have you prepared all the godstones? My Master has gathered all of the ingredients for the Wisdom and Knowledge Pill, and has extended the invitation to the other two Paramount Gods to help. They'll fire up the pill furnace soon, so now is when we need your help."

"They're ready this soon?" Yang Qi said. "Yes, I have the godstones ready. Unfortunately, they're only holy caliber, not perfect caliber."

"Holy caliber is fine. After all, perfect caliber stones are extremely rare, and are best saved for the defense of the sect in critical moments. Let's hurry to the Pill-King's God Palace! That's where they'll use the Light King God-Furnace to start concocting the pill!"

1. I doubt I need to remind any of you of Yun Hailan, whose initial betrayal was in . After 300 chapters with plenty of back and forth between them, Yang Qi got his revenge in .

Chapter 1318: Concocting the Pill Part 2

Yang Qi and Summer Vastcold hurried to the Pill-King's God Palace.

The palace was, of course, a standalone god kingdom.

Inside, it was beautiful, with strange, fragrant plants visible everywhere. It abounded with all sorts of medicinal plants and animals, all of them things that could be used as ingredients for medicinal pills. It was enormous, far larger than any of the medicinal ingredient storehouses in the House of God Ordainment.

Of course, it was also kept under strict guard. Yang Qi saw thousands of deadly spell formations that had been set up to prevent unlawful entry.

With Summer Vastcold to lead the way, there was no danger. Together, they went into the depths of the palace, until they caught sight of a huge pill furnace that resembled a mountain shining with boundless light.

'Sand of radiance and light!'

With his Lord's Eye, Yang Qi could see that the furnace had originally been constructed from sand of radiance and light. Furthermore, its structure was so orderly and strict that it almost resembled genetic material. It was so profound that it made the furnace seem alive.

It was very different from his Heaven and Earth Furnace, which only made sense considering it was created by the High Priestess.

"Master!"

Summer Vastcold's Master was waiting beneath the enormous furnace. Mother Voidwalker sat on a prayer mat, her eyes closed, a mountainous stack of medicinal ingredients next to her.

Other than her, no one else was present.

"I thought you invited two other Paramount Gods to help?" Yang Qi said.

Looking coldly at Yang Qi, Mother Voidwalker said, "They won't come as their true selves. Once I begin concocting the pill, they'll send their will through the void to assist. Normally speaking, men aren't permitted to even look at the Light King God-Furnace. But since you're providing so many holy caliber godstones as fuel, we'll make an exception. In a moment, you'll need to listen to all of my instructions as I tell you how to set the godstones into the spell formation surrounding the furnace. Understand?"

"Yes, ma'am," Yang Qi replied, not daring to say too much.

"This pill concocting session will also be a session of cultivation for you. Considering how much you've helped Vastcold, you can watch the concocting process. I'm sure you'll learn a lot from it, and also improve your psychic power and godhood."

"Many thanks, Senior. My gratitude knows no bounds." Inside, he was chuckling coldly, as he knew that there was no way Mother Voidwalker had any good intentions. She likely intended to use this opportunity to gain deeper control of him, and assess him on a deeper level.

After all, she was the one who had imparted the Chiliocosm Unrestrained Mental Dharma to Summer Vastcold, all for the purpose of transforming his worldview.

She was vicious and merciless, otherwise she wouldn't be an Unbounded expert. Every Unbounded expert was an invincible and domineering figure, and Yang Qi being an Ascendant only meant that she would try taking advantage of him. Every Unbounded expert had fought tooth and nail for years to reach their current position.

When soldiers come, send a general to stop them. When flood waters come, use earth to block them. Yang Qi had spent the last month formulating countermeasures to the Chiliocosm Unrestrained Mental Dharma. And although he wasn't a hundred percent free of it, he was at least seventy to eighty percent confident that his true identity wouldn't be revealed.

"Good," Mother Voidwalker said, apparently satisfied with Yang Qi's attitude. She also gave an approving glance at Summer Vastcold, as if praising her success in getting Yang Qi under control.

"Now, let's fire up the Light King God-Furnace," Mother Voidwalker said. "You two sit in the qian and kun positions. When qian and kun combine, heaven and earth intersect, yin and yang combine, and the taiji is completed."

"Yes ma'am." Summer Vastcold and Yang Qi sat on opposite sides of the formation while Mother Voidwalker unleashed the power of her will, causing a wild tempest to spring up as the medicinal ingredients were pulled into the formation.

'Those are some incredible ingredients,' Yang Qi thought. 'There are even spritefruits in there.'

He nearly gasped in amazement at what he was seeing. There were millions and millions of ingredients of all kinds, which swirled together to form a huge vortex.

This was a much more difficult act than engaging in a fight. It required exquisite control over godpower, and a brain that could calculate matters that even the heavenly workings calculations systems would have trouble with.

Even three medicinal ingredients would have all sorts of interactions and combinations that could produce a variety of effects. That wasn't even mentioning the degree of heat or other matters. That was why concocting pills was almost like an act of creation.

Here, there were many millions of ingredients all interacting. As they entered the enormous formation, all sorts of medicinal effects were unleashed, then transformed based on their interactions. The slightest mistake at any step would lead to ruin.

Yang Qi knew that he couldn't do this. Although his psychic power was formidable, it couldn't compare at all to Mother Voidwalker's.

Her psychic power seemed unending and boundless, as though she could pierce any substructure, create millions upon millions of incarnations, connect to the realm of Nevasaññānāsaññāyatana, and extrude all impurities when she created god pills.

'Incredible,' Yang Qi thought as he watched. 'Nothing short of incredible. Unbounded will convergence definitely lives up to the hype. And now I can tell that I'm still far, far away from the Unbounded level. All I can do is just watch what she's doing. She was right; this experience will benefit me a lot in terms of understanding of how to control psychic power.'

Smiling faintly, Mother Voidwalker exhaled a blast of fire that engulfed the Light King God-Furnace, causing it to shine with radiant light as the medicinal ingredients inside melted.

"Add the godstones now, Void Qi!"

"Sure thing!" Yang Qi waved his sleeve and a stream of walnut-sized godstones flew out like rain, entering the spell formation around the Light King God-Furnace and causing it to flare to life.

Within that light it seemed possible to glimpse countless worlds.

"Elder Sisters, please, let your will come! Help concoct this pill!" Mother Voidwalker said as she tossed the flower of wisdom into the mix. Instantly, two expressions of will pierced through the void and arrived at the furnace.

RUMBLE!

Yang Qi could see them in his mind's eyes, and they looked like god dragons from primeval times of chaos. They were so mighty and destructive that they could easily crush the House of God Ordainment out of existence.

Wailing sounds erupted from inside the Light King God-Furnace.

"Send in more godstones, boy!" Mother Voidwalker barked.

Yang Qi increased the volume of holy caliber godstones, until he was certain he had surpassed ten billion. However, Mother Voidwalker still didn't seem satisfied. "Keep going! Don't hold back any godstones. If we fail because you didn't give enough, I'll throw you into the furnace!"

From these words alone, it was obvious that Yang Qi wasn't just helping out. Mother Voidwalker was assigning the primary responsibility for this session of pill concocting to him, and would blame him for any failures.

Yang Qi's heart felt cold, but he knew that now wasn't the time to be defiant, lest he end up dead. However, one thing was already determined in his heart: Mother Voidwalker would pay for this!

'I'm not afraid of you, Mother Voidwalker. I'll suffer in silence for now. But once your apprentice consumes the Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill, I'll use my devil embryo to absorb it!' Even as he was thinking that, he continued throwing out godstones. "Don't worry, Exalted Mother Voidwalker! I won't hold back at all!"

Swissshhhhh!

Godstones continued pouring out like falling rain.

There seemed no end to the godstones that poured out of his sleeve. Ten billion. Thirty billion. Fifty billion... Over the course of fourteen or fifteen hours, he produced no less than eighty billion godstones to power the formation.

RUMBLE!

Meanwhile, the two visiting expressions of will provided immense psychic power, causing world after world to appear within the pill furnace. Yang Qi could see that, inside the furnace, it was almost as if numerous Big Bangs were occurring one after another, each of them creating new universes. And yet it was all occurring according to some fixed set of rules.

The Light King God-Furnace let loose a piercing howl of a sound.

"More godstones! Hurry! This is the critical moment!" From the glare in Mother Voidwalker's eyes, it seemed if Yang Qi didn't provide more godstones immediately, she would kill him right there and throw him into the furnace.

He waved his sleeve, and more godstones poured out.

'This is incredible,' Mother Voidwalker thought. 'I can't believe this kid has so many godstones. It seems the treasure trove of the Lord of Civilization is nothing to look down on. With him under control, it'll provide access to a huge amount of wealth.' The more Mother Voidwalker realized how rich Yang Qi was, the more it stoked her killing intent.

Of course, Yang Qi knew exactly what she was thinking. However, he also knew she was nervous. She believed that the body he was using had been left behind by the Lord of Civilization himself, whose will would protect his successor.

At this point, the concoction effort had reached a critical moment.

1. I'm sure most of you are aware that qian and kun are synonyms for heaven and earth, yin and yang, etc. They're part of the eight trigrams, and together make "qiankun" which I sometimes translate as "cosmos" or other things depending on the context. I go into more detail .

Chapter 1319: Surging Killing Inten

'Paramount Gods are Paramount Gods, after all,' Yang Qi thought. 'Perhaps they're not as strong as the Lord of the True Void or Patriarch Deva, but their cultivation bases make them virtually invincible. Unbounded will convergence is completely domineering. It can strike from across space-time and god kingdoms, and can't be blocked. Even in the absolute best case scenario, I'd be severely injured trying to escape from a conflict.'

The critical moment had arrived, in which Mother Voidwalker and the two other Paramount Gods were going to form the medical pill.

Yang Qi was benefiting immensely from the process; his control of psychic power was improving, and the connection between his will and magical laws was growing deeper. The combinations of the various medicinal ingredients, and their connection to the psychic power, were like genetic sequences that provided major inspiration regarding daoist techniques and energy arts.

A chain reaction of enlightenment spread out to his flesh, blood, vital energy, and even his godhood.

Of course, this body wasn't his own, but rather that of the mysterious scholar, who he suspected had been a Paramount God. Because of that, he couldn't completely control it. That said, the power of the body could enter his monarch godhood and push it to a higher level.

At the same time, Yang Qi felt a mighty godpower in the pill furnace, as though the medicinal pill inside contained a convergence of preheaven wisdom and vital energy that was slowly flowing into him.

The body was like a black hole that would never be satiated.

"Void Qi, hurry up and provide all of the godstones you can. Don't hold any back!" Mother Voidwalker shouted angrily.

"Yes ma'am!" He was throwing out tens of billions of holy caliber godstones, which was an immense fortune, yet neither Mother Voidwalker nor Summer Vastcold seemed the least bit grateful. All they cared about was the success of the medicinal pill. As far as they were concerned, it didn't matter what miserable fate Yang Qi suffered as long as he produced enough godstones for them.

In their minds, they already had him under control, so there was no need for any act.

Thanks to the godstones, the concocting effort went much smoother than it otherwise would have. Three streams of Unbounded will swirled about in the Light King God-Furnace, and the sensation of wisdom echoed out like beautiful music.

Ding!

All of a sudden, a medicinal pill appeared within the furnace. It was only the size of a thumb, but had such immense medicinal power that it twitched as though it wanted to shoot away and escape.

"Ghost and gods alike wish they could get their hands on you, medicinal pill. Do you really think you can escape?" Mother Voidwalker clamped her hands down, causing psychic power to create a host of domains that suppressed the pill. The domains crystallized into talismans, which sealed the pill and immobilized it.

"Congratulations on the completion of the pill, Mother Voidwalker," said one of the expressions of will.

"You'll have an Unbounded expert as an apprentice quite soon," said the other.

"It's hard to believe this man your apprentice brought actually had so many holy caliber godstones. That's more than even we could get together in a short time. That collection must have been worth at least a hundred thirty, or even a hundred fifty billion godnotes."

"That many godstones is an astonishing amount of wealth. Your apprentice picked up a real treasure in this man!"

Mother Voidwalker laughed and said, "She got lucky. Many thanks to the two of you, Elder Sisters. I'll definitely live up to my end of the bargain."

"Very well. We'll remain in our god kingdoms out in the void, continuing our pursuit of enlightenment. There isn't much time left. Your apprentice must be careful when consuming that pill. And don't do it now. Wait for another four or five months until her psychic state is in the optimal condition. Only in that circumstance can she unleash the true potential of the pill, and achieve the best chance of success."

"I understand," Summer Vastcold said, "and I thank the both of you for your advice, Elder Aunts."

It was impossible for her to conceal her elation.

Yang Qi stood quietly by, as if he were mourning the loss of so many godstones. Not even Paramount Gods would view such an amount lightly, and would become murderously furious at its loss. However, he didn't care. That said, he had to look like he was profoundly sad, lest Mother Voidwalker and Summer Vastcold try to take advantage of him again.

"Many thanks for your help, Young Sir Void Qi," Summer Vastcold said. "I never would've guessed that it would cost you so much to help concoct the pill. Without those godstones, we would have failed." She was staring at him intently as if to read into his expression.

Expression bitter, Yang Qi sighed, "Ai! I never could have guessed that it would take so many godstones. That's definitely not what I planned on. I'm almost completely broke now!"

"I'm sure you'll think of something, Void Qi," Mother Voidwalker chuckled. "Remember, no matter how you do it, you have to fulfil Summer Soundfyre's demands. Help her get everything she needs. Then, at the very last moment, we'll take it all from her. Meanwhile, I'm going to help Vastcold prepare her psyche, energy, and blood for the upcoming breakthrough. Keep us informed about everything you're doing, got it?"

From her tone, she wasn't asking questions, but rather giving orders.

"How much money do you have left, Young Sir Void Qi?" Summer Vastcold asked. "Can you even give her what she's asking for?" She obviously cared a lot about this issue, and was doing nothing to hide that fact.

"Well, I still have some money left, but..." He hesitated.

"Alright, don't get anxious," Mother Voidwalker said. Waving her hand dismissively, she said, "Go. As long as you have enough money to help, we can just wait until Vastcold reaches the Unbounded level. Then all your investments will be paid back thousands of times over."

"Many thanks, Senior," Yang Qi said, feigning a look of thanks as he left.

Watching him leave, Mother Voidwalker said, "Vastcold, the fact that this man produced so many godstones just goes to show how immense the Lord of Civilization's treasure trove is."

"That's exactly what I was thinking. He gave us somewhere between a hundred thirty and a hundred fifty billion godstones, without which you probably wouldn't have been able to concoct the Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill. I wonder if he actually does have some perfect caliber godstones."

"He definitely does," Mother Voidwalker replied, clenching her hand into a fist. "Perfect caliber godstones are true treasures. Ah, what a pity. The brat has so many treasures, but unfortunately, we can't kill him right now. Well, one step at a time. He's been entranced by the Chiliocosm Unrestrained Mental Dharma, but he still hasn't lost all of his reason yet. But it won't be long before he's a complete puppet."

"What do we do with him afterward?" Summer Vastcold asked. "Normally speaking, unless a man is incredibly important, I just let them go after using them, to avoid harming my reputation. But this one is different. He's not so simple."

"Don't tell me you've developed feelings for him," Mother Voidwalker said in an ice-cold voice.

"Are you kidding? No way. I would never develop feelings for a man. I'm just trying to figure out what he really wants here in the Nacrelight Sageland. I was just wondering if we should just kill him afterward, or if we should try to get access to that treasure trove."

"I'd say leaving him alive would be the better move. If he does have the legacy of the Lord of Civilization, then he has destiny of some sort. Killing him could provoke a reaction from the Lord of Civilization's will. Just wait until you're in the Unbounded level before making the final decision. Now, let's do some cultivating in preparation for using that pill. It'll be a few months before you're ready, understand? If you take it now, you'll never reach the Unbounded level. Don't get anxious. Let's wait to see how things work out between Void Qi and Summer Soundfyre."

Summer Vastcold nodded. "Right."

'Thinking about killing me?' Yang Qi thought as he drew on the devil embryo to eavesdrop. Thanks to the profundities of the scholar's body that he was using, Mother Voidwalker hadn't picked up on what he was doing.

Of course, he had to be careful. For instance, it would be lunacy to try to take control of Summer Vastcold, or siphon power away from her.

He could only try something like that if Mother Voidwalker wasn't present.

But Mother Voidwalker couldn't watch over her apprentice at all times for the rest of her life. When that happened, Yang Qi would take action. Of course, he didn't plan on killing her, just taking some of the power of the Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill.

Right now, he was on his way to meet Summer Soundfyre.

Her palace hung in the air near the sea, surrounded by white clouds and fresh flowers. It was filled with the sound of zither music, and was a very elegant and relaxing place.

However, Yang Qi ignored all of the beautiful scenery.

Before long, he was in Summer Soundfyre's presence. Looking at Yang Qi, she said, "With your help, Summer Vastcold made the Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill, didn't she?"

"How did you find out so quickly?" Yang Qi asked, surprised at how well-informed she was.

"A blind person could tell. Considering the fluctuations that have been coming from the Pill King's God Palace, and that you've shown up here, coupled with the fact that no news has spread of a failure to concoct the pill, it's obvious. Furthermore, do you really think Mother Voidwalker and Summer Vastcold would let you go if you failed them?"

Chapter 1320: Stealing another Piece

"What? There's no way. I offered help without asking for a bit of compensation. And you think they'd kill me?" Chuckling as if in ignorance, he continued, "You must be joking, Miss Soundfyre. The Nacrelight Sageland doesn't follow the dao of devils. No one here would possibly return evil for good."

"I'm sorry to say it, but the truth is that money can affect the heart. You have too much wealth, so it's a given that if the Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill failed, they'll try to kill you. Trust me, I'm not trying to drive a wedge between you and them. It's just a fact that Mother Voidwalker is a vicious and merciless figure who kills people without blinking. She spent a huge fortune getting those other two Paramount Gods to help her, so if she didn't get a return on her investment the normal way, she would have to do it through you."

"They'd really try to kill me?" he asked suspiciously.

"I wouldn't be surprised if they still plan to do it even after succeeding with the pill. One thing is certain: the moment Summer Vastcold reaches the Unbounded level, you'll die. Believe me or not, it's up to you. By the way, not even that Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill will get Summer Vastcold to the Unbounded level. That's why I'm certain they want to use you to get to my sacrificial resources. The combination of the two would lead to a seventy or eighty percent chance of success. Tell me, am I right? You've been working on your cultivation recently with Summer Vastcold, and I bet she 'taught' you the Chiliocosm Unrestrained Mental Dharma. Little do you know that you're already on death's door. Do you really think she's going to help you get the Mahātmā Jade?"

"What? She harmed me with the Chiliocosm Unrestrained Mental Dharma? How is that even possible?"

"Tell me, how many godstones did they use making that pill? The Light King God-Furnace isn't exactly easy to power. Normally not even a Paramount God would casually use it, as it burns through godstones extremely quickly."

"Er..." Yang Qi said hesitantly.

"Tell me!" she shouted, her voice piercing into his sea of consciousness like a needle.

"A hundred fifty billion!" Yang Qi blurted.

"What? That many!" She shot to her feet and stared at him. "How could you have given them that many?! Don't you believe me now?! Doesn't it hurt you to have given away that much wealth! Your worldview was obviously altered by the Chiliocosm Unrestrained Mental Dharma. Look, I just used my Fyre Destruction God Resonance to stimulate your heart and soul. Think about it! Recall everything that happened recently."

"Well, a lot of things happened..." he stammered, pretending to be confused as he thought back to recent events. "How could this be happening? Why would I just give away a hundred fifty billion godstones?! Wait a second. Mother Voidwalker kept pressuring me. She said if they failed to make the pill, she'd throw me into the furnace!"

"See what I mean?" Summer Soundfyre said, sounding very pleased with herself. "Now do you understand? Even after saying that, you weren't the least bit angry with Mother Voidwalker. And the reason is that they changed your worldview. If I hadn't woken you from your reverie, you would have stayed under their control, unable to extricate yourself, then ultimately suffered a very miserable fate."

"Dammit. Dammit!" he shouted furiously. "Mother Voidwalker! Summer Vastcold! I'm not going to let you off the hook for this. This is preposterous. Preposterous!"

"At least you finally realize how wickedly ambitious they are," she said. "But if you work with me, I guarantee that you won't lose out. In fact, whatever you give me to help, you'll get back."

"I'm going to go take that Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill to make up for what I lost!" he said angrily. "After this, I'm definitely going to help you. I don't care much for money, but how could I ever have guessed that Mother Voidwalker and Summer Vastcold would treat me like this! Miss Soundfyre, I'll give you whatever you need. More than I gave them! You just have to promise to help me destroy them both! Preposterous!"

Of course, this anger was supposed to be a result of being entranced by Summer Soundfyre.

"You're going to give me more than them?" Inwardly, she was elated at having 'won', but outwardly she maintained a calm demeanor. "You still have some wealth left? They didn't bleed you dry?"

"You only need two hundred billion, right?" Yang Qi said. "Well, I still have four hundred billion. The only requirement is that you help me kill Mother Voidwalker and Summer Vastcold. Before, I was just interested in Summer Vastcold's treasures. But now I realize they enchanted me and want to kill me! If it weren't for your help, I would've been stuck in their trap!"

"Four hundred billion!?" she blurted in shock. "You still have that many left?"

"That's right," he said viciously. "I want to make sure they know what happens to people who cause problems for me! From this day on, I'm going to pay any price to see them ended!"

"Good. I actually feel a lot better hearing that. I supposed now is a good time to tell you that I got some information about the Mahātmā Jade. Unfortunately, I can't just get it for you. It's deep in the treasure storehouse, under the protection of an extremely powerful spell formation. It's also surrounded by vital energy booby traps. If you have what it takes, you can get it. If not, you'll only have yourself to blame."

Even as the words left her mouth, a spell formation chart appeared, something that resembled the sheepskin scroll.

Yang Qi took it and found that it depicted an area surrounded by countless spell formations, almost like a full chiliocosm of worlds. Obviously a location like that could be considered impenetrable.

"Incredible," he said with a sigh. "Those spell formations are nothing less than incredible. You're right, there's no way I can deal with that."

"Well that's a given. Not even a Paramount God can just sneak into the treasure storehouse of the Nacrelight Sageland and steal things. However, at the end of this month, I'm going to have a chance to get into the treasure storehouse to take something as a reward. And during that time, I might be able to create the opportunity you seek."

"You can take me in with you?" Yang Qi said, feeling a twinge of anticipation.

"Of course not," she replied. "The rules of the Nacrelight Sageland are clear. It's a huge honor to be allowed into the treasure storehouse to pick something as a reward. How could I possibly take an outsider in with me during that time?"

"Then what's the point?" Yang Qi shook his head.

"I can't change the rules, so there's only so much I can do. But if I can reach the Unbounded level before then, I could possibly borrow the Mahātmā Jade to study it. Keep in mind, I couldn't give it to you permanently. You'd have to return it."

"What about Unbounded medicinal pills?" Yang Qi asked. "Do you have any of those?"

"Definitely," she replied. "Except, such pills would be useless to me. What are you aiming to do? You're rich! Don't tell me that the Lord of Civilization's treasure trove doesn't have Unbounded medicinal pills!"

"I haven't opened the section of the treasure trove that has the medicinal pills. And I personally need Unbounded medicinal pills, not for my personal cultivation, but to help create an illusory projection of the Engine of the One God. With it, I can strike a deadly blow at Mother Voidwalker!"

Instead of praising Yang Qi for his bold statement, she replied, "Mother Voidwalker isn't going to be that easy to deal with, so I advise you to stop dreaming! That said, you could use the Engine of the One God to at least defend yourself from an attack by her, and possibly escape from a deadly situation. How many Unbounded pills do you need?"

"A hundred thousand!" he said, throwing out a completely shocking number.

"What did you just say?" she blurted incredulously. "You've got to be kidding me! A hundred thousand Unbounded medicinal pills?! Not even Paramount Gods would have that many pills saved up. Forget it. I have a few hundred, and that's years of savings. Do you think I can clear out the entire treasure storehouse of our sect?"

"I can pay for them with godnotes! And I'll pay a premium. I really need those pills!"

"Money doesn't matter. I might be able to get you a few thousand pills, but a hundred thousand is simply out of the question."

"A few thousand? Fine. Something is better than nothing." It was true that Yang Qi needed the pills to improve his monarch godhood. Perhaps he could reach the late Consummate God level, gaining a bit more strength, and by extension, safety. That was especially important, considering Mother Voidwalker was eyeing him.

"Fine. It's a deal. But you still have to give me the cash you said you would give me."

"No problem at all. Here are two hundred billion godnotes. The rest will take me a month to get. You need to hurry up and gather all the materials you need before Summer Vastcold reaches the Unbounded level." With that, he produced the godnotes, encased in a crystalline container.

"Excellent," Summer Soundfyre said. Taking them, she vanished.

Yang Qi also left.

Some time later, he was outside the Nacrelight Sageland.

There, he opened the spell formation chart he had just been given, and started studying it carefully. 'The spell formations of the Nacrelight Sageland are incredible. There's no way I can get through them at the moment. However, if I use the Cruiser of Civilization...'

With that, he began the summoning effort.

A few hours later, a figure appeared.

It was none other than his brother, or rather, the other version of himself, his clone, Yang Immortal-Slayer, who was both following the Lord of the True Void and learning from King Immortal-Slayer. He had already succeeded in forming monarch godhood, and had gathered more of the items belonging to the seventy-two monarchs. He also had the Cruiser of Civilization, including the Engine of the One God.

"What's wrong, Yang Qi? I could sense the urgency in your summons. I've been in seclusion with the Lord of the True Void, and am already at the peak Greater God level, just on the verge of becoming a Consummate God."

"It's like this," Yang Qi began. "I'm in the Nacrelight Sageland for the time being, and I finally located another piece of the Mahātmā Jade. Unfortunately, I can't get to its location. So I came up with a plan involving you. I want us to go to the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty and use our pieces of the Cruiser of Civilization to find the godhood manufacturing systems there. With those systems, the cruiser will be complete. And with all of its functions activated—" He chuckled. "—the Mahātmā Jade will be mine!"

Chapter 1321: Cruiser of Civilization, Completed

Yang Qi had come to the Nacrelight Sageland to steal a treasure, but now he was heading to the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty.

His plan was to cause some major upheavals and chaos, then take advantage of the resulting crisis for personal gain. And he would complete the Cruiser of Civilization to unleash its full might and potential.

He already had the Engine of the One God, the vivicreation systems, power assessment systems, genetic systems, heavenly workings calculations systems, and psychic scaling systems. He was only lacking the godhood manufacturing systems.

The Eternal-Life God-Dynasty was built on the Mountains of Radiance, which allowed Yang Qi to easily take advantage of them. Furthermore, his cultivation base was vastly more powerful than it had been before, so slipping in to take the final part of the cruiser shouldn't be particularly difficult.

Another benefit to getting the final piece of the cruiser was that he would be able to fully assimilate the flower of time into his monarch godhood.

That flower was far more powerful than a flower of wisdom, and while Yang Qi had absorbed some of it, he couldn't assimilate it in its entirety.

Of course, all of this was in service to his ultimate goal: getting another piece of the Mahātmā Jade.

When Yang Immortal-Slayer heard the plan, he thought for a moment and said, "Are you completely sure you can pull that off, Yang Qi? You won't attract the attention of the Paramount Gods there? Thankfully, you saved that young woman Summer Tearfall. Did you ever make contact with her?"

"She won't be of any help. I'm not here as Yang Qi; I'm using an assumed name. Besides, if we want to do something really big, how could we rely on a minor figure like her?"

"I guess you're right. In that case, let's head to the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty."

"You set up a spell formation outside of the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty to call out to the Cruiser of Civilization. I'll use my Sagelight Body to sneak into their treasure storehouse to find the godhood manufacturing systems, then bind them with a nascent divinity sealing mark." Yang Qi was planning to do just as he had done with the piece of the Mahātmā Jade he'd stolen before. After all, he couldn't just go in, grab what he wanted, and walk away.

"That'll work."

The two discussed the plan in a bit more detail, then got to work.

After becoming an apprentice of the Lord of the True Void, Yang Immortal-Slayer's cultivation base had improved dramatically. He was already in the position to defeat Consummate Gods, and although he couldn't quite match up to Yang Qi himself, it would only be a matter of time before he was able to do so.

Yang Immortal-Slayer had started out as Yang Qi's clone, but had since separated from him. However, they still had a flesh and blood connection, and would never oppose each other. Also, the fact that they both had monarch godhood ensured that they would be able to survive together no matter what.

Moving as quick as lightning, they pierced through the void, and within a matter of days were in the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty. Yang Qi was very familiar with the mountains there, and was able to slip through them completely unnoticed with his Sagelight Body.

These were familiar haunts for him, and nothing caused any trouble.

During his original heist, he had been a Greater God, but now he was a Consummate God, with a will convergence vastly beyond anything from before. With the full power of the God Legion Seal to mask his aura, the vital power in the Mountains of Radiance didn't notice him at all.

'Is this heist going to go even smoother than the last one?' he thought. 'Maybe I should take some medicinal pills too.'

After all, there were plenty of Unbounded medicinal pills around as well.

However, after considering the matter, he decided against it. For one thing, he wasn't here with his true body, but rather his Sagelight Body, which was a combination of the God Legion Seal and the powers of radiance and light. Therefore, he couldn't actually consume the pills. And just grabbing them and taking them away wouldn't be possible.

It would be hard enough to call to the godhood manufacturing systems and summon them away. After all, the Mahātmā Jade he had stolen wasn't a corporeal object, but rather a conglomeration of psychic fluctuations.

Physical objects would be much more difficult to spirit away, and much more likely to alert to the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty.

That said, his plan was to frame the Nacrelight Sageland for all of this, to foment discord. And that was key to his effort to get the next piece of the Mahātmā Jade.

'There. I have eyes on the godhood manufacturing systems.' The hulking systems were encased in numerous spell formations, and seemed to have remained inactivated for so long they were dusty from age.

'I can't believe it's this easy. Now to brand it with my sealing mark.' Using his Sagelight Body, he slipped into the presence of the godhood manufacturing systems.

No alarm sounded. His ability to move through the vital energy couldn't have been more perfect.

Immediately, various profundities of the godhood manufacturing systems appeared within his sea of consciousness. He had already gained the deepest of understandings of virtually all the other daoist techniques built into the Cruiser of Civilization, even the imperial-heaven pre-beginning powers.

But the godhood manufacturing systems were very specifically focused on godhood, therefore, he was bound to benefit greatly from the addition.

After all, Yang Qi had monarch godhood, which was the greatest of all the types of godhood; with it complete, he would be unparalleled under heaven. And the godhood manufacturing systems would obviously help him push his monarch godhood to the highest levels possible.

'The godhood manufacturing systems are so incredible. As long as they're powered with enough godstones, they can convert ordinary types of godhood into special versions.' Deep in the boundless void, Yang Immortal-Slayer had set up a magical altar, and was sitting in the middle of it with Yang Qi. Three days and nights passed, during which Yang Qi familiarized himself with all of the details of the godhood manufacturing systems. Then he waved his hand, sending godpower pouring out of the God Legion Seal to create a perfect replica of the godhood manufacturing systems.

"Bring out all the other systems!"

"Alright!"

Yang Immortal-Slayer knew that his own enlightenment in this regard couldn't match up to Yang Qi's, so it was without hesitation that he pulled out the silver disc that was the Cruiser of Civilization, which was currently missing only one section. It was pale white, and covered with countless magical symbols.

Taking the godhood manufacturing systems, he inserted them into the spacecraft, which hummed as it powered up.

Unfortunately, the fact that the new piece was only a replica meant it wasn't actually complete. Thankfully, Yang Qi was still planning on summoning the real thing.

Reaching out, he placed a number of holy caliber godstones into the formation around him, sending their energy into the Cruiser of Civilization and causing it to thrum even more loudly than before.

Godstones were the only thing that could power this treasure.

In the immortal worlds, he had only been able to power it up to a very weak level. In fact, back then, it was so weak as to be laughable. The only downside was that, as of yet, he was unable to produce perfect caliber godstones.

"You're the only person who can truly use this thing, Yang Qi," said Yang Immortal-Slayer. "You have the God Legion Seal, which enables you to create an endless supply of godstones. Anyone else, even a Paramount God, would never be able to sustain its power requirements."

"You're right. Once we complete the Cruiser of Civilization, and I reach Unbounded will convergence, we can use the spacecraft as our headquarters. It'll be like a god kingdom that surpasses that of the House of God Ordainment by many times over." He laughed. "That way, the Sage Monarch Society, the Sage Monarch Consortium, and all my friends and family will finally be truly safe. In the past, I relied on the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart, but unfortunately, I lost it before I got to the god world. Since then, I haven't had any true place of refuge. But the complete Cruiser of Civilization will be impenetrable!"

"You're right. None of our friends and family have a god kingdom to keep them safe. The House of God Ordainment is dangerous enough, and when you add in the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty and the other powers at play, along with the fact that we don't have a Paramount God, we're in a delicate situation. We have to make preparations for what's to come."

"I'm more concerned with how to take over the House of God Ordainment. Even rotten boards will have some sharp nails in them, so if we gain control of all their power and resources, as long as I reach the Unbounded level and become a Paramount God, I'll definitely be able to complete the Mahātmā Jade, then hopefully open up the path back to the impure lands to get all of our people. With all those Ascendants on our side, we can crush anyone in our path, including the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty and the Nacrelight Sageland. And don't forget, we still have to deal with the Proud Clan."

Even as he spoke, he continued feeding godstones into the formation, causing an illusory god kingdom to spread out around the Cruiser of Civilization.

RUMBLE!

Yang Qi threw his hands out, tearing open a rift in the cosmos. Yang Immortal-Slayer unleashed all three thousand of King Heaven-Devourer's talismans, unleashing their full heaven-devouring power.

Next, a tremor passed through Yang Immortal-Slayer as seventy-two halos appeared above him, within each of which sat a shadowy expert that represented one of the ancient seventy-two monarchs.

"It's go time!" Yang Qi said. "The moment of truth has arrived. Let's summon the final piece of the Cruiser of Civilization. When this happens, I bet the Paramount Gods of the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty will notice."

Chapter 1322: Cruiser of Civilization, Completed Part 2

Summoning the godhood manufacturing systems wouldn't be like getting the Mahātmā Jade. It would cause a huge commotion and would be like breaking ground where the subterranean Taisui deity presides. Once Yang Qi and Yang Immortal-Slayer took it, they were sure to be chased, and if they didn't follow their plan perfectly, they would end up captured and killed by the Paramount Gods.

Back in the immortal worlds, the two of them had been able to use the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart to escape from nearly any situation, which made stealing treasures very easy. They had even successfully ransacked the storehouse of the Executors of the Ancient Road. But here in the god world, they didn't have the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart, and had thus lost a massive safety net.

If the Cruiser of Civilization was complete, it was likely that not even Paramount Gods could ever catch them.

"Let's start the summoning," Yang Qi said. In the treasure storehouse, the godhood manufacturing systems flickered, then started glowing brightly. Simultaneously, the replica version out in the void flickered with light that flowed into Yang Qi.

Yang Immortal-Slayer activated his godpower to help Yang Qi perform the summoning. King Heaven-Devourer's talismans and the other items of the seventy-two monarchs floated around him, creating a seventy-two-headed devil king god body that caused everything to tremble violently. Using those seventy-two items all at the same time created a trembling godpower so fierce that even monarch godhood would have trouble sustaining it. Thankfully, Yang Qi had both the God Legion Seal and the help of Yang Immortal-Slayer. With two monarch godhoods in play, they could just barely surpass the capabilities of an Unbounded expert.

RUMBLE!

A huge explosion ripped through the void, so immense that, if it were in civilized parts, it could wipe out a continent hundreds of millions of kilometers from end to end, leaving behind nothing but a crater.

Thankfully, out in the spatial tempests, it didn't do anything.

That was what happened when Yang Qi and Yang Immortal-Slayer joined their vital energy.

The Cruiser of Civilization rose up, growing larger with every moment that passed, until it was as large as the god kingdom of the House of God Ordainment. As it floated above the altar, the flags set into the spell formation flapped. At the same time, Yang Qi's will became like an ancient dragon, swirling through the air surrounded by a downpour of flower petals.

This was what came along with mastering the psychic power of a Paramount God.

Yang Qi waved his finger and drew the outline of a dragon, a beautiful image that was a reflection of the imperial city of the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty. Then, a silver streak of light appeared and shot out of the city.

In that exact moment, numerous expressions of will rose up as the Paramount Gods realized that something was happening.

WHOOSH!

The silvery white fragment landed on the altar in front of Yang Qi, trembling for a moment before sliding into the Cruiser of Civilization. An aura of ancient civilizations spread out from the spacecraft, and the rumbling River of Civilization appeared, sweeping over Yang Qi and Yang Immortal-Slayer. To their delight, they could sense that this god item was now complete!

"Hurry, run! The Paramount Gods are coming!"

Yang Qi knew there wasn't time to study the profundities of the Cruiser of Civilization. Blurring into motion, he and Yang Immortal-Slayer entered the cruiser, then used the God Legion Seal to spit out a stream of godstones to power it. The cruiser shivered, then vanished.

In almost the exact same instant, a sea of power arrived, forceful enough to topple the highest mountains and shred spatial tempests into pure primal-chaos.

It was the will of the Paramount Gods.

Paramount Gods occupied the peak of existence in the god world, and their wills and godpower were so immense that they could teleport entire continents and evaporate seas. They could shift time, invert the cosmos, grasp at heaven's workings, defy the dao of heaven, and create all types of living things.

Yang Qi and Yang Immortal-Slayer didn't hesitate for even a moment, lest they perish and be wiped out of existence. In fact, were it not for the unmatchable speed of the Cruiser of Civilization, and the fact that they had the godstones to power it, they would already have been dead.

"This is exciting!" Yang Immortal-Slayer said as he looked over at Yang Qi pouring godstones into the Engine of the One God. Although the Cruiser of Civilization was piercing through space with utter ease, there were still five or six streams of will pursuing them with deadly focus.

The slightest slip-up, and the two of them would be dead.

Meanwhile, the photonic computers in the Cruiser of Civilization spoke up. [Danger. Danger. Extreme danger. Paramount Gods in pursuit...]

It was a critical warning; Paramount Gods simply couldn't be resisted, and would reduce any opponent to dust in a matter of moments.

"Very exciting indeed," Yang Qi replied. "One mistake and our lives are gone. Given our speed, I don't think we can shake these Paramount Gods. This is turning into something of a disaster."

"Yes, a big disaster. If we go to the Nacrelight Sageland, what if the Paramount Gods there turn against us? We'll be dead."

"I don't think that'll happen. The Nacrelight Sageland and the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty are as incompatible as fire and water. Furthermore, neither is really stronger than the other. I'm almost at the point of understanding all the profundities of the Cruiser of Civilization. In a moment, I'll be able to use the imperial-heaven pre-beginning powers to turn us invisible."

Yang Qi had everything planned out down to the tiniest detail. However, from everything that was going on, it was possible to see how inferior the Cruiser of Civilization was to the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart.

After all, it was possible to evade any chase by jumping into the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart, which was a world unto itself.

Unfortunately, the Cruiser of Civilization was not its own world.

All of a sudden, Yang Qi had a major realization.

The Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart existed in the Nevasaññānāsaññāyatana realm. Thoughts were unreal, yet at the same time real. That was the source of King Immortal-Slayer's boundless divine might.

With this realization, he sent his divine will into the Cruiser of Civilization, whereupon he vanished bodily. His psychic fluctuations connected to the cruiser's systems, and his thoughts were those of the photonic computers, and vice versa.

In that moment, it was as if the Cruiser of Civilization had become his body. All of a sudden, the cruiser experienced a burst of speed, then vanished.

At the same time, the wills of the Paramount Gods closed in at similarly blinding speed.

"Become the void; psychic fluctuations; Mahātmā Jade; ultimate concealment..." Powered by Yang Qi's psyche, the Cruiser of Civilization entered the Nacrelight Sageland, whereupon he drew fully on the imperial-heaven pre-beginning powers and the talismans given to him by Summer Vastcold and Summer Soundfyre. Because the latter had the aura of the Nacrelight Sageland, he was considered a disciple, and was allowed entry.

However, it was different for the Paramount Gods.

A massive force slammed into the defensive energy surrounding the Nacrelight Sageland, sending devastating shockwaves rolling out that caused most disciples present to cough up blood as they staggered backward.

SPLAT!

Summer Vastcold was in the middle of a session of cultivation when blood sprayed out of her mouth. It almost seemed like doomsday had come. "What's going on?!"

"Not good!" Mother Voidwalker said. "Those are Paramount Gods from the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty! Are they openly declaring war on us?!"

Mother Voidwalker sent her Unbounded will spreading out in all directions.

Meanwhile, furious expressions of Paramount God will surged out from other dimensions in the Nacrelight Sageland. There was no discussion between them and the Paramount Gods from the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty, both sides simply attacked.

'So strong!' Yang Qi thought from within the Cruiser of Civilization. He was already in the treasure storehouse of the Nacrelight Sageland, watching a display that showed the clash between the various Paramount Gods.

Something like a thousand blazing suns fell with mountain-crushing, sea-shattering force, slicing through space-time and causing numerous spatial tempests to erupt. Crazed dragons danced, heaven and earth mourned, and the sun and moon cried out as the greatest powers of the Nacrelight Sageland were tapped into.

Yang Qi could sense the spell formations protecting the treasure storehouse weakening, and knew that this was the opportunity he had been looking for.

Chuckling, he thought, 'If the Paramount Gods of the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty hadn't pressed the attack, I would never have this chance to get the Mahātmā Jade. And once I get it, I might as well just clean out the entire Nacrelight Sageland storehouse...'

According to his plan, he would get the Mahātmā Jade and then reach the Unbounded level, use the Cruiser of Civilization to take everything from the storehouse, and finally vanish without a trace.

Mother Voidwalker, Summer Vastcold, and Summer Soundfyre all thought that they were manipulating him, but in the end, it was the opposite.

Chapter 1323: Seizing Victory Within Chaos

Chaos was truly spreading as Paramount Gods clashed. If nothing else, the vital energy shockwaves from the fighting provided the perfect cover for Yang Qi and Yang Immortal-Slayer to take action.

Thankfully, Yang Qi had identity medallions from both Summer Vastcold and Summer Soundfyre, and could even use the devil embryos in them to replicate their auras. That made it easy to get back into the Nacrelight Sageland without attracting any attention. Of course, it was a different story for the Paramount Gods from the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty. Their expressions of will slammed into the defenses with deadly force, provoking an immediate reaction.

And because of the chaos, no one was paying attention to what Yang Qi and Yang Immortal-Slayer were doing in the treasure storehouse.

This widespread chaos had provided them the perfect opportunity.

'Where is that Mahātmā Jade?!'

Following the map Summer Soundfyre had given him, he was making his way through the storehouse looking for the jade. He didn't dare to act casually the way he could in the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty's treasure storehouse, where his Sagelight Body made things so simple.

He was here as his true self, and only had the cloaking abilities of the Cruiser of Civilization to rely on.

'So Summer Soundfyre was actually lying. This map is a complete fake.' To his frustration, the map she had given him only led to a trap, not the Mahātmā Jade.

Summer Soundfyre was just as bad as Summer Vastcold. Yang Qi would make sure they received their comeuppances alongside Mother Voidwalker.

Thankfully, he had infected Summer Soundfyre with a devil embryo, and although he couldn't use it to control her, it did inform him of her ill intent. As such, there was no way he would fall into her trap.

Furthermore, he could use the pieces of the Mahātmā Jade he already possessed to guide him to the piece he sought.

As he passed through the treasure storehouse, he looked around at all the countless treasures, medicinal pills, and rare objects. He didn't touch a single one of them. He knew that as soon as he did, the defensive spell formations would activate and sound an alarm.

Although the Nacrelight Sageland was currently in the midst of a big battle, that didn't mean the Paramount Gods would ignore someone breaking into their treasure storehouse.

Moving slowly but surely, he crept through the storehouse, passing by countless treasures as he attempted to fish a needle from the sea.

'It's just up ahead.'

Sure enough, he had just sensed the fluctuations of the jade forming a resonance with the pieces he already possessed.

Deep in the world that was the treasure storehouse, there was an area of pure crystal that contained a host of different unique jades. Heaven Jade, Earth Jade, Cloudsoaring Jade, Medusa Jade, Profound-Yang Jade, Yin-Yang Godjade, Nethernorth Jade, Frigid Jade, and the like. Each of these pieces of jade was a unique heaven and earth of its own.

Among the mountainous piles of jade was one fragment that, upon initial inspection, seemed like it didn't contain any psychic or spirit energy fluctuations at all. However, Yang Qi could tell at a glance that this was the ultimate type of jade in existence, a god among other types of jade: the Mahātmā Jade.

A smile broke out on Yang Qi's face. 'Excellent. This piece is similar in size to the piece from the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty. If I'm not mistaken, there are several more pieces out there in the god world. But where...?'

WHOOSH!

Knowing there was no time to lose, he burst into motion.

Locking onto the psychic fluctuations of the Mahātmā Jade, he activated his Unspoiled Body, then reached out and grabbed the jade.

Almost instantly, he felt immense power surging through him, completely unbounded and without limits. His psyche and will shot higher, breaking through the bottleneck he had been stuck in for so long.

"Let's get out of here! GO!"

Yang Qi didn't intend to cause a scene upon first taking the jade. Ignoring all of the other treasures around him, he remained focused, using the Cruiser of Civilization to slip out of the treasure storehouse, through the chaos, and away from the Nacrelight Sageland.

As he made his escape, the Paramount Gods were still fighting, sending out vital energy shockwaves and blasts of lightning so violent and chaotic it made it impossible to see anything.

"You finally got the Mahātmā Jade!" Yang Immortal-Slayer said excitedly. "Yang Qi, this means you can reach the Unbounded level, right? You're going to be the first true expert of all of us. Now it'll be a lot easier to accomplish things."

"Yes, I just didn't want to attempt the breakthrough in the middle of the treasure storehouse. I need to find a good place to do it. This is obviously going to be a major step." Yang Qi felt the psychic power in his sea of consciousness surging to the point of detonation. He needed to find a place to settle down and focus, lest his entire body explode. Once he reached the Unbounded level, then combined with his cultivation base, he could easily return to the Nacrelight Sageland and clear out their treasure storehouse.

As he currently was, he couldn't even think of dealing with Unbounded experts. He was like a caterpillar, but once he rose to the Unbounded level, he would be like a mighty roc.

Now that they were out of danger, Yang Qi and Yang Immortal-Slayer flew into the depths of space-time until they found a stable place to settle down.

There, Yang Qi activated the cloaking functions of the Cruiser of Civilization, which would ensure that even if a Paramount God passed by, they would only see a flickering mirage. The cruiser was the ultimate treasure of the Lord of Civilization, and now that it was complete, it was immeasurably powerful.

The thing was huge, containing countless subsections and innumerable aspects that related both to the dao of immortals, as well as science and technology.

"Incredible. The Cruiser of Civilization is much more effective now that it's complete." It was almost as if Yang Immortal-Slayer had never been inside the cruiser before, that was how different it was.

"Yeah. This will function well as a god kingdom for the Sage Monarch Society. It's definitely superior to the god kingdom of the House of God Ordainment. After all, we just used it to escape from some Paramount Gods. And once I reach the Unbounded level, it'll only be even more incredible. I'd say that, right now, we're only able to use about fifty percent of its full potential."

Now that Yang Qi's thoughts could fill the entire cruiser, he realized how incredibly mighty the Lord of Civilization had been. Furthermore, he could tell that, with the power of the cruiser, he could definitely help his subordinates to develop unique types of godhood.

After all, there were other types of godhood besides monarch godhood that were incredibly formidable.

Even with his current cultivation base, Yang Qi could bring his people in here, transform them, and make them three to five times as powerful as before. And once he was in the Unbounded level, he could probably make them ten times stronger.

Years ago, the Lord of Civilization suffered untold hardships to complete the cruiser, and even relied on the support of the Sovereign Lord. And with it, he had helped the countless subordinates of the Sovereign Lord dramatically improve their fighting prowess.

"How confident are you that you can reach the Unbounded level?" Yang Immortal-Slayer asked.

"One hundred percent!" Yang Qi replied. "I've been building up to this moment for a long time now. With the piece of the Mahātmā Jade I just got, I can definitely do it."

"Great. I'll stand as dharmic guard for you."

Yang Immortal-Slayer powered up his cultivation base and took control of the Cruiser of Civilization.

Yang Qi nodded. He was already trembling, unable to control the psychic power that was coursing through him. If he didn't achieve his breakthrough soon, his monarch godhood was going to crumble.

"Unbounded Psyche; Defy All Laws and Principles!"

A shadowy projection appeared behind him, which was none other than the "Nothing" from the Sage Monarch Grand Magic.

The Mahātmā Jade erupted with mountain-crushing, sea-shattering psychic power, filling every aspect of Yang Qi. As it did, Unbounded will grew within him, and he glimpsed even more profundities of the god world. He saw space within space, continents within continents, and even more enigmatic aspects. His thoughts, psyche, and worldview expanded as his fundamental nature changed.

He could also see invisible shackles within him, binding his soul, spirit, and will.

As they collapsed, his psyche gained freedom, and his will became Unbounded. He was now a true potentate in the god world.

1. This section contains a second comparison that I'm leaving out because it doesn't make sense in English the way it does in Chinese. It says that he transforms from a snail to a rhinoceros. In Chinese, both snail and rhinoceros contain the character for "ox/cow", so the comparison makes perfect sense visually.

2. As you can see if you look at the Chinese characters, the "Nothing" 无 from the Sage Monarch Grand Magic is connected to the Unbounded level (无限) and the Annulled level (无无). In some cases, it's just not possible to have everything connect in English the way it does in Chinese.

Chapter 1324: Unbounded Will

Yang Qi was foreordained to be an Unbounded expert.

By putting together the pieces of the Mahātmā Jade he had collected, he had a huge burst in psychic fluctuations.

There were ways in which the Mahātmā Jade didn't measure up to the God Legion Seal. But it was especially unique in its ability to strengthen the psyche and will. In terms of will convergence, the God Legion Seal had the Annulled Grand Magic, incredible fighting experience, and shocking power. Those were the three features of the seal. But the Sovereign Lord had only reached the level of Nothing, not the level of two "Nothings", in other words, Annulled. Because of that, the Annulled Grand Magic was actually incomplete.

However, the Mahātmā Jade could fill in that second, missing "Nothing" in the Annulled Grand Magic. It became a psychic flow that poured into his mind, causing his spirit to expand to an unbounded degree. It was like the difference between an ancient emperor who was used to expanding his territory, then suddenly conquered an entire planet.

Yang Qi felt like that as his psychic power surged, and images of sages and monarchs appeared behind him, strong enough to crush the many heavens.

Tribulations appeared above, and devils rose up in his mind, hoping to seduce him into cultivation deviation.

'No devil can affect my willpower. The Mahātmā Jade was originally created by the True Devil, who subjugated the horde of devils. So how can things like that be any threat to me? Heart-devils, yang-devils, pleasure-devils, pestilence-devils, spirit-devils, soul-devils, knowledge-devils, dependency-devils... none can pose any problem for my cultivation base.'

Yang Qi identified three thousand devils, dispelling each of them with ease. His words were a great dao, and his orders had to be strictly enforced.

That was what Unbounded will was like.

"With my name, mountains and rivers are Unbounded, god kingdoms are Unbounded, the psyche is Unbounded. My soul is free..." His animadestiny nascent divinity and soul rose to higher levels, to the point where a face appeared in his monarch godhood. It was none other than his own face, covered in countless golden shackles that held his soul back.

But then a destructive power swept forth, completely shattering the shackles.

In that moment, he felt as though his monarch godhood had become free of the world, and at the same time, his psychic power rose even higher. As that happened, the photonic computers in the Cruiser of Civilization spoke. [Congratulations. Soul fetters shattered. Unbounded will convergence achieved. Your psychic scale has now surpassed the level which can be assessed with numbers.]

Although Unbounded will convergence couldn't be assessed by normal means, there were still ranks within it. Just like other levels, it had early, mid, late, and peak.

The late Unbounded level was considered half a step into the Annulled level, and had been achieved by the Sovereign Lord, King Immortal-Slayer, True Devil, King of Godmammoths, Demon Master, Wretch God, and of course, the High Priestess.

Other members of the legion of gods, such as the Lord of Radiance and Light and the Lord of Civilization, had never reached that level.

And no one had ever become an Annulled expert.

Yang Qi rose to his feet, and all heaven and earth seemed to rotate around him. No vital energy, no daoist technique, and no magical laws could bind him. He had finally reached the Unbounded level.

Furthermore, his psychic power wasn't in the early Unbounded level. After all, he wasn't an ordinary person. He was a Fateless One, and the bearer of both the God Legion Seal and the Mahātmā Jade.

He had completely absorbed the psychic fluctuations of the Mahātmā Jade, assimilating and taking control of them. It was as if the will of the True Devil had been added into his own will convergence, combining with the God Legion Seal without any negative side-effects.

When the Sovereign Lord and the True Devil opposed each other, it led to a consummate psychic power that Yang Qi could make use of.

Slowly but surely, his aura went calm, making him seem more profound than ever.

Yang Immortal-Slayer looked at Yang Qi and couldn't see a single fluctuation of any type, making him seem almost like an ordinary person with no energy arts. However, that just meant he had returned to a natural psychic state.

"Did it work, Yang Qi?" Yang Immortal-Slayer asked.

"Yes. I'm in the Unbounded level. After this, the Sage Monarch Society will rise to new heights, and no one will be able to stop us. Just wait until I build up enough power to become a Paramount God. At that point, I'll go slaughter the Proud Clan. Not even their Paramount Gods will be able to get in my way." He threw his head back and laughed heartily. "Incidentally, I can sense the other pieces of the Mahātmā Jade. Getting them is going to be much easier now."

As the words left his mouth, the God Legion Seal rose up above his head. In its complete form, it wasn't a golden imp, but a golden giant whose roar could shake the entire god world.

As Yang Qi grew stronger, the God Legion Seal also reached higher levels of power.

Obviously, he could draw even more deeply on the essence of the god world to create godnotes and godstones. Before, he could create billions per day, but now trillions wouldn't be out of the question. In short, he would never run out of godnotes or godstones.

With Unbounded will behind the God Legion Seal, even Paramount Gods would have to run from its might.

The will was the basis for everything, even magical treasures.

"Perfect caliber godstones!"

Yang Qi made a grasping motion, and a veritable sea of vital energy surged toward him, which then crystallized into one godstone after another. Each stone resembled the halls of heaven as it floated in the air, radiating white energy. They were like an army of perfect angels, perfect and without spot.

Supposedly, perfect caliber godstones had only existed in the ancient halls of heaven, and the kind that grew in modern times never surpassed the holy caliber.

There were some enormous sects who found treasure troves that remained from the halls of heaven, in which they discovered perfect caliber godstones. But now Yang Qi could create them himself.

With a wave of his hand, he sent the stones into the Cruiser of Civilization, causing it to ripple and then completely vanish from any kind of perception. It was now like the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart, in that it could quietly transform into nothing.

Yang Qi's cultivation base was truly unparalleled under heaven.

The cruiser now possessed some of the characteristics of the Myriad Worlds Monarch Chart, and was also like a god kingdom. In fact, it was now a given that he could simply absorb the god kingdom of the House of God Ordainment if he wanted to. It wasn't even close to being on the same level as the Cruiser of Civilization.

"Let's go back to the Nacrelight Sageland and see how the fight is progressing," Yang Qi said. "I might be in the Unbounded level, but you have yet to make your breakthrough. We need to figure out a way to make that happen. Summer Vastcold plans to use a Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill, and Summer Soundfyre has a sacrificial ceremony planned. Perhaps if we focus all of that power on you, you could succeed. With Unbounded will, you could definitely reach the peak of the Consummate God level, or perhaps even become a Paramount God."

Yang Qi would never forget about his own friends and family. And while neither Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill, nor the sacrificial ceremony, were as good as the Mahātmā Jade, they were still formidable.

WHOOSH!

Back around the borders of the Nacrelight Sageland, Yang Qi found that the fighting had ended, although wreckage was everywhere, which the disciples were currently in the process of cleaning up. Both sides had inflicted serious injuries on each other. Apparently, he had been out in the void for over a month reaching the Unbounded level. That was how long it had been since the fighting ended.

Sucking the Cruiser of Civilization into his sea of energy, Yang Qi once again used the body of the mysterious scholar, who he was now certain wasn't just an ordinary Paramount God, but someone special among Paramount Gods.

The first person he looked for was Summer Soundfyre.

She was in the middle of a session of cultivation, and when she saw Yang Qi, she said, "What are you doing here? Where have you been?"

"I had to do a few things to get all the money together," he said. Then anger flickered in his eyes and he said, "How could I possibly rest in my effort to get revenge on Mother Voidwalker and Summer Vastcold? Even if it meant going back to the Lord of Civilization's mansion grotto to tap into his treasure trove again, of course I would do it. It looks like something recently happened here? Was there a big battle or something?"

"You haven't heard? The Paramount Gods of the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty attacked us. They claimed one of our disciples broke into their treasure storehouse and stole something very valuable. But as everyone knows, if you're out to falsely accuse someone, it's easy to trump up a charge. They obviously made it all up. Anyway, three of our matriarchs went out to fight them, and ultimately drove them off."

Chapter 1325: Ruthless Vengeance

To Summer Soundfyre, Yang Qi looked like someone with an ordinary cultivation base.

To her, he seemed the same as before, whereas in reality, he had Unbounded will convergence and a cultivation base that was a thousand times stronger than earlier. Not even Mother Voidwalker would be able to pierce through the Life-Death Void-Destruction Lightning. In fact, Yang Qi could actually kill Mother Voidwalker if he wanted. So what could Summer Soundfyre possibly do?

"Oh, I see," Yang Qi said. "But why did the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty attack? Seems a bit too cocky. How are things now? Did Summer Vastcold reach the Unbounded level?"

"How could that be possible?" she replied, turning up her nose. "You think she's capable of that? With some pill? Never. Although, based on what I understand, she's very confident, and plans to take the pill soon. In any case, it doesn't matter. I've gathered all the sacrificial items I need for my ceremony, so I'm definitely going to reach the Unbounded level soon. What about the two hundred billion godnotes you said you'd get for me? I can't wait any longer. Of course, it would be better to have that sum in godstones instead of godnotes. If only I could have perfect caliber godstones too."

"As long as you're sure you can help me kill Summer Vastcold and Mother Voidwalker, then of course I'm going to help you. I'll definitely make sure you achieve this breakthrough!"

"Many thanks." Inwardly, Summer Soundfyre was thinking, 'Mother Voidwalker is already an Unbounded expert. Even after I break through, I'll be her equal at best. There's simply no way I can just kill her. Well, at least I can finally get this Void Qi under control. I'll just imprison him and force him to tell me all the secrets of the Lord of Civilization's treasure trove. Then I'll finally be invincible!'

Yang Qi could guess what she was thinking. Pulling out a handful of godstones, he said, "There are a few perfect caliber godstones in the collection, but I can't extract them. You have to be in the Unbounded level to do that. The Lord of Civilization's treasure contains some of the most profound secrets of the ancient halls of heaven. Once you achieve your breakthrough, we can unlock them and benefit immensely. Although, I'm not going to completely trust you until after you kill Summer Vastcold."

"Secrets of the halls of heaven?" Summer Soundfyre's heart started pounding. 'I absolutely, positively must not let Mother Voidwalker take control of this man. He must submit to me! Does he really think I would just give him our Mahātmā Jade? That's just asking a tiger for its skin. No, I'm going to destroy and consume him, down to the crushed powder of his skull.'

Taking the godstones from Yang Qi, she found that they really were worth about two hundred billion. He was also giving her godnotes worth eighty billion. Smiling, she said, "You're beyond amazing, Young Sir Void Qi. I knew I'd judged you correctly. And do you see how much better I am than Summer Vastcold? She was just using you. Although, you need to go check in with her now, and make sure she has no idea what's really going on."

"But..." he said, "what if Mother Voidwalker tries to do something to me?"

"Don't worry. You're too valuable to them, considering Summer Vastcold's attempt to reach the Unbounded level. Why would Mother Voidwalker possibly do anything to you? When you report in about me, tell them I'll be performing my sacrifice in ten days."

"Ten days?" Yang Qi said. "That soon?"

"Yes. Actually, I'll be performing the ceremony in five days. I just want you to pass along some misinformation to confuse them."

Yang Qi's eyes lit up as though he had just realized something. "I get it. You want to buy time. If I tell Summer Vastcold you're doing the ceremony in ten days, but you're actually doing it in five, then when she makes a move to interfere, you'll already have reached the Unbounded level. When she does, according to the sect rules, you'll be justified in killing her. After all, she's trying to rob you."

Summer Soundfyre smiled faintly. "Exactly. You're very clever."

"Fine. For the sake of revenge, I have to go." With that, Yang Qi hurried away.

As Summer Soundfyre watched him leave, her smile deepened, and she snorted derisively. 'Five days? I already have all the materials ready to go. All I have to do now is go to the Supplication God Temple and start praying. Once I start the process, nobody will be able to stop me. There's no way Mother Voidwalker will believe Void Qi when he tells her about me doing the ceremony in ten days. I wouldn't be surprised if she soulsearches him. And if she does, she'll only uncover the information about me waiting for five days. By that time, I'll already be in the Unbounded level.'

By then, Yang Qi was already at the Vastcold Palace. There, he saw Summer Vastcold in a session of cultivation, being aided by Mother Voidwalker.

As he neared, Mother Voidwalker opened her eyes, and her vision stabbed toward him like sharp blades as she assessed him. Before, her gaze would have been very harmful, but not anymore. Pretending to feel agonizing pain, he said, "Senior, you—"

"Where have you been!?" Mother Voidwalker barked. "You haven't shown up for an entire month, not even after I summoned you."

"Let me explain. I went back to the Lord of Civilization's treasure trove and unearthed another massive fortune, which was previously sealed away in another world that I didn't notice. In my efforts to help Miss Vastcold, I had to get on Summer Soundfyre's good side, which is why I needed all that money."

"Oh?" Mother Voidwalker nodded. "How much wealth did you unearth?"

"Senior, it was about eight or nine hundred billion in godnotes and godstones. It's definitely enough to get Miss Vastcold into the Unbounded level. Whatever's left over can be used to purchase the other precious materials Miss Vastcold needs."

"What? That much wealth?" Summer Vastcold and Mother Voidwalker shared a shocked glance. Then, killing intent flickered in Summer Vastcold's eyes, as if she were ready to kill Yang Qi to get that wealth.

Eight or nine hundred billion was an astonishing sum that most people would do anything to acquire. Even if the Vastcold Society completely liquidated all of their assets, it would probably only add up to about sixty billion.

"Don't try for small gains only to lose big," Mother Vastcold said via projection. "Just trick this Void Qi into working with us, got it? The treasures trove of the Lord of Civilization is like nothing compared to our true goal."

"Right, Master," Summer Vastcold replied. Then she smiled at Yang Qi and said, "Young Sir Void Qi, did you get any information about when Summer Soundfyre is going through with her ceremony?"

"Yes, I did," Yang Qi replied in a very serious tone. "She'll be doing the ceremony in ten days."

"Ten days?" Mother Voidwalker said. Suddenly, her eyes flared with light as her gaze pierced into Yang Qi's brain. As expected, she was using a very powerful soulsearching technique!

Yang Qi immediately reacted with the Life-Death Void-Destruction God-Lightning, creating an illusion that completely fooled Mother Voidwalker. In fact, he even used that moment to infect her with a devil embryo.

As Mother Voidwalker's soulsearching technique seemingly failed to provide any results, Yang Qi staggered as if dizzy. "Senior, what did you just do?"

"Oh nothing," Mother Voidwalker replied. "I was just checking to make sure Summer Soundfyre didn't do anything suspicious to you. By the way, Vastcold needs a lot of wealth to grow the Vastcold Society. Why don't you hand over half of that wealth right now so she can get started."

With that one demand, she made it obvious that she thought Yang Qi was like a slave who had to follow her orders.

When she saw Yang Qi hesitate, her tone of voice hardened. "What. Not willing to comply?"

"I'm willing! Of course I'm willing!" Shivering, he handed over a crystal sphere that contained a large collection of godnotes and godstones.

Looking it over, Summer Vastcold smiled and said, "Just wait until I achieve my breakthrough, Young Sir Void Qi. The growth of the new Vastcold Society will all be thanks to you."

"Many thanks, Miss Vastcold. Just let me know if you need anything else. I'll take my leave now. I need to make sure Summer Soundfyre has no idea what's going on."

"Of course, farewell," Mother Voidwalker said. Watching him leave, she chuckled coldly and said, "What a treacherous little brat. He said that Summer Soundfyre would wait for ten days, but the truth is she's only waiting for five."

"I knew it!" Summer Vastcold said, her voice thrumming with killing energy. "Summer Soundfyre realized I used the Chiliocosm Unrestrained Mental Dharma on Void Qi. She has someone powerful backing her who's also working against me. And it's obvious that Void Qi realizes what we're up to, and is trying to defy us."

"Is that why I could sense killing intent from you just now?" Mother Voidwalker asked. "You're getting too anxious. Just wait until after your breakthrough. Then you can kill him with a mere thought if you wish. A moment ago, I implanted him with something we can use to watch his every word and action."

"So what do we do now? How do we steal Summer Soundfyre's resources? You can't do it personally, Master."

"No, I can't, otherwise I'll end up being accused of unfair bullying by whoever her backer is. Now is the time for you to consume your Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill. I'll help you to reach the Unbounded before those five days are up. The past few days of refinement have pushed your quintessence energy to the peak. Trying to force further progress will just lead to heart-devils. Besides, with these godstones, I can power the spell formation even more efficiently than before."

"Alright!"

Summer Vastcold produced the Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill and popped it into her mouth. At the same time, Mother Voidwalker placed her palm onto her back and sent psychic power pouring into her.

"Start absorbing the pill!"

Meanwhile, Yang Qi could see everything that was happening. Chuckling coldly, he said, "I'm going to bleed the two of you dry!"

Chapter 1326: Ruthless Vengeance Part 2

Next, Yang Qi sent his divine will to observe Summer Soundfyre.

There she was, in the Supplication God Temple, organizing all the things she needed for her ceremony.

The Supplication God Temple was filled with altars of all sizes, in front of which knelt various praying disciples. Some of them flickered with faint, glowing light, as though their prayers had mysteriously linked them to the noble spirit of the High Priestess, who was now blessing them.

'Marvelous,' Yang Qi thought. 'You really can offer prayers here and then receive blessings of power. Incredible.'

RUMBLE!

Yang Qi looked over and saw an early Consummate God kneeling in fervent prayer, who was suddenly bathed in dazzling light that caused her godhood to rise an entire level. In that moment, she became a mid Consummate God.

A buzz of conversation rose up among the surrounding disciples, including expressions of admiration, envy, and hatred.

Apparently, this kind of dramatic blessing wasn't particularly common.

There were millions of altars at which one could pray to the High Priestess, but only a few disciples would get lucky. Among the hundreds of thousands of disciples who were in the temple at any given time, only a handful would succeed.

Yang Qi didn't use his divine will to inspect the powers of prayer that were at play, nor did he attempt to uncover any of the secrets of the High Priestess. He might be in the Unbounded level now, but there was no way he could compare with the noble spirit of the High Priestess. And if he provoked a reaction, he would likely be destroyed.

There had been occasions in the past in which people who weren't members of the Nacrelight Sageland tried to pray here, but were punished by being killed in body and soul.

That was why Yang Qi was actually helping Summer Soundfyre; he wanted her to successfully perform her ceremony and receive a blessing of power. He would then use the devil embryo in her to siphon the power away, which would be a much safer endeavor.

She would do all the hard work, and he would receive all the benefits.

As for the altar she had picked, it was huge, being a few dozen kilometers across. Summer Soundfyre was an important person in the sect, so it had been easy to secure the exclusive use of this particular altar.

Waving her hand, she sent out a series of silk-like streaks that covered the altar, interlacing together and locking it down.

It was a powerful spell formation filled with numerous ancient souls that would protect her while she prayed to reach the Unbounded level. And it pulsed with boundless power and killing intent. Although fighting was strictly prohibited in the Supplication God Temple, what if some disciple made a mistake and caused a dangerous accident?

'That's a nice spell formation. Definitely the work of an Unbounded expert. I wonder who Summer Soundfyre has backing her.' As Yang Qi looked on, Summer Soundfyre waved her hand and sent out a host of sacrificial items, all of them extremely rare materials such as god corpses, godling internal pellets, domestic animals, flowers, fruits, alcohol, and even godhood.

Most eye-catching of all was a severed head, its eyes open in death, with long fangs in its mouth. Unexpectedly, it was a devil-god from the dao of devils, and from the energy fluctuations rolling off of it, it had been a Paramount God.

It was impossible to say who had been strong enough to behead a Paramount God, but it obviously wasn't Summer Soundfyre, which indicated that she must have purchased it. Even more shocking was that the head had clearly been severed recently. Whatever rancorous energy existed on a Paramount God slain in ancient times would have long since dissipated. Only a freshly-killed god like that would have energy fluctuations like this. It was for the same reason that mortals would offer fresh blood and flesh to their ancestors in sacrifice, not rotting meat.

From the rancorous energy emanating from the devil-god head, Yang Qi knew exactly how powerful it was. It pulsed with defiance and rage, as well as hatred of heaven, earth, living things, ghosts, gods, immortals, buddhas, and even space-time itself. Ordinary people couldn't even get close to it.

Even Yang Qi was shaken by the sight of it, and he wondered how Summer Soundfyre had acquired something like this for her sacrifice. No wonder she had asked for two hundred billion in wealth. Without massive capital, it would have been impossible to purchase something like that.

Although Yang Qi had access to immense wealth, he didn't have the connections to acquire items such as this head. And even if he did, he wouldn't know what exactly to do with it. The Sovereign Lord had disappeared, so who would he sacrifice it to?

'Let's see what else this woman acquired to sacrifice,' he thought, looking on silently.

"Oh almighty High Priestess," Summer Soundfyre prayed, "your glory fills the god world. You are the ultimate commander of radiance and light. You presided over all the ancient sacrifices..."

Continuing to prostrate herself, she pulled out a silver knife and sliced a large cut down her palm. "By the piety of my spirit, and for the glory of the High Priestess, I hereby sacrifice this Paramount God's head, an expert from the dao of devils, rife with rancorous energy, filled with hatred and evil. May it fill you with delight..."

With that, she squeezed her hand, causing blood to drip onto the Paramount God's head.

An intense surge of hatred shot high into the heavens, reaching far into an unknown aspect of space-time. Simultaneously, all of the sacrificial items vanished, almost as if they had evaporated. A smile broke out onto Summer Soundfyre's face.

She knew that her sacrifice was a success, and that her prayer was going to lead to an influx of power.

RUUUUMBLE!

Moments later, a surge of power descended from that unknown aspect of space-time, and the entire temple trembled, ensuring that all disciples present realized what was happening.

Yang Qi could sense a vital power that surpassed any type of medicinal pill or magical treasure, and was superior to the blessing of any Paramount God. In that critical moment, Yang Qi and Yang Immortal-Slayer shot back out into the chaos of space-time.

"Go! We need to leave the Nacrelight Sageland and set up the spell formation and altar. Use the God Legion Seal to take control, and fuse the power of Summer Vastcold, Summer Soundfyre, and Mother Voidwalker with us."

For Yang Immortal-Slayer, this was a very important moment in the process of completing his monarch godhood. Unlike Yang Qi, he didn't have the God Legion Seal or the Mahātmā Jade to help him. He had direction from King Immortal-Slayer, but that didn't help in terms of resources. Things were much harder for him than for Yang Qi, so this was obviously a very critical moment.

Meanwhile, Yang Qi was drawing on the God Legion Seal to activate the devil embryo inside all three of his enemies: Summer Soundfyre, Summer Vastcold, and Mother Voidwalker. The time had come to hopefully help Yang Immortal-Slayer to break into the Unbounded level.

Yang Qi didn't hesitate to draw on the divine might of his Unbounded will convergence, using the God Legion Seal to implant Yang Immortal-Slayer with a devil embryo. This devil embryo was different from the normal type; it was a dominant embryo that could rapidly absorb power. In fact, it quickly turned into a vortex that sucked in all the power around it.

"I finally did it!" Summer Soundfyre exclaimed. "My sacrifice worked! I can sense the mighty power flowing toward me. Sacrificing the head of a Paramount God from the dao of devils really earned the approval of the noble spirit of the High Priestess. She's blessing me with immense power!" She threw her head back and howled, her psyche climbing toward the Unbounded level as the blessing of power poured into her like a river.

Being a peak Consummate God with half Unbounded will convergence, she could sense that she was just on the verge of a breakthrough.

However, that was when the devil embryo inside of her twitched, and the influx of power was sucked inside of it, vanishing.

"What's going on here!? Don't tell me something went wrong with my sacrifice!"

At that moment, Summer Soundfyre was filled with a sensation of foreboding.

Meanwhile, Summer Vastcold was assimilating the Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill under the watchful care of Mother Voidwalker, causing a massive influx of power within her.

RUMBLE!

Summer Vastcold's countenance lifted as the power of the pill surged through her.

"You're going to reach the Unbounded level!" Mother Voidwalker said. "I'll help you. Impermanence of Heaven and Earth! Invincible in Everything; Double-Nine Paragon; Heart and Will Unbounded!"

RUMBLE!

Summer Vastcold's meridians and sea of energy surged with unending vital energy as Mother Voidwalker used her boundless techniques to direct the effects of the Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill. The massive surges of vital energy caused chiliocosms of worlds to appear above their heads, worlds within worlds, endless cycles around them.

It was the Chiliocosm Unrestrained Mental Dharma!

Yang Qi could sense that the moment had come for him to act.

Suddenly, devilish specters appeared behind the two women, which neither could see or sense.

The devil embryos had been activated, and as a result, all of the power on display was sucked inside, vanishing without a trace.

And of course, all of that power went straight to Yang Immortal-Slayer.

Chapter 1327: Bleeding Them Dry

Feeling overwhelmed with pain, Yang Immortal-Slayer said, "Yang Qi! Yang Qi! I feel like my body and mind are about to explode! The pain. It's horrific! My body is going to fall apart. I can't do this! I can't! My monarch godhood can't handle this level of power!"

"You've got to hang in there!" Yang Qi shouted, backing his words with his Unbounded will. "Get control of yourself! If your thoughts are out of control, how can you accomplish anything? Expand your heart and mind. Allow them to contain anything and everything. Give freedom to your psyche! The only one who controls the shackles of your mind is you!

"A clay jug can't contain a sea. But if you break the jug, there's no limit to what you can contain. The world will be yours!"

"I understand." Yang Immortal-Slayer had started out as Yang Qi's clone, so all it took was a few words, and their thoughts were aligned.

He opened his body and mind, ignoring his monarch godhood as he began to slough off the shackles that held him back from unbounded freedom. It was a lack of action or thinking that led to the realm of Nevasaññānāsaññāyatana, which was that of neither perception nor non-perception.

He was beginning to tame his mind and thoughts, and as power coursed into his monarch godhood and psyche, the devil embryo refined it and added it to his cultivation base.

He climbed from the peak of the Greater God level to the Consummate God level, then to the mid, late, and peak of that level. Next, he went through the early, mid, late, and peak of the Perfect God level.

His will convergence rose without stop as well, going from the mid Paramount level to the late and peak, until he was half a step into the Unbounded level.

Yet even with Yang Qi stealing power from Summer Soundfyre, Summer Vastcold, and Mother Voidwalker, then channeling it directly into Yang Immortal-Slayer, it still wasn't quite enough to push him into the Unbounded level.

Perhaps he was ready for the breakthrough, but unfortunately, his cultivation base needed some more tempering. He needed to do some more bitter cultivation before he could take advantage of everything he had built up in terms of resources.

SPLAT!

In the Supplication God Temple, Summer Soundfyre slumped weakly. Not only had her sacrifice failed, but she'd apparently been drained of the power she started out with.

She was so weak she couldn't even lift a finger!

'What's going on here? How come my power disappeared like water escaping from a burst dam?' Summer Soundfyre still didn't dare to believe that it was really happening. It seemed more like something from a nightmare.

Meanwhile, Summer Vastcold and Mother Voidwalker were both coughing up gobs of blood as they realized that they had also been drained of power. Mother Voidwalker had it a bit better off. Circulating her will, she struggled into a sitting position, her face a mask of fear. "What's going on here? What just happened? Why did things change all of a sudden? From the time I first reached the Unbounded level until now, nothing like this has ever happened!"

"M-Master," Summer Vastcold stammered, "the power of the Wisdom and Knowledge God Pill is gone! Not only that, my original power reserves are gone, and my godhood's been weakened. What's going on? Did I experience cultivation deviation?"

Trembling physically, Mother Voidwalker replied, "You didn't just slip into cultivation deviation. You fell victim to a plot! But who was it? Who managed to get in and out unnoticed? Not even a Paramount God should've been able to do that easily."

"Master, we're right in the middle of the Nacrelight Sageland? Who could plot against us?" Summer Vastcold shivered as her will collapsed. Only moments ago, she thought she was going to enter the Unbounded level, only to end up like this. Not even cultivation deviation would result in something this bad.

"I have to notify the Paramount Gods immediately," Mother Voidwalker said. "If we don't get help, we're going to lose all our techniques and become ordinary people. At this point, any god who came along could kill us. Only Paramount Gods can help us now. We have to get out of this state of cultivation deviation!"

"But if you're also suffering from cultivation deviation, Master, how will we notify the Paramount Gods? Without your Unbounded will convergence, how can you pierce the god kingdom of the Paramount Gods?"

"I have another way to do it," Mother Voidwalker said. "I have a talisman I can use to summon a Paramount God. In the end, I'm still an Unbounded expert, so there's no way the sect will throw someone like me away."

"Hurry, Master!" Summer Vastcold said, although in truth, she was actually completely demoralized.

"There's no need for that," someone said from behind them, and Yang Qi suddenly stepped into view.

"Void Qi!?" Summer Vastcold blurted.

Mother Voidwalker's face immediately fell. "Are you behind this mischief, Void Qi? You... you couldn't do this on your own. Who are you working for?"

"I'm not going to waste words. You two bitches tried to take advantage of me; did you really think I would just let that slide?" Waving a hand, he sent out a stream of light that bound up both women. "Now, you're mine. And Summer Soundfyre, too."

Swish!

Taking the two of them with him, he vanished.

Simultaneously, an invisible hand appeared in the Supplication God Temple, which grabbed Summer Soundfyre and whisked her away. Yang Qi's cultivation base was so advanced that he could move about freely in the Nacrelight Sageland. That was what happened when Unbounded will was powering the God Legion Seal and Cruiser of Civilization. It was something not even Paramount Gods could deal with.

A short time later, Yang Qi had all three women somewhere far outside of the Nacrelight Sageland, in the midst of the chaotic void.

With a smack, the three of them were flung down onto a huge altar in the middle of the Cruiser of Civilization, an altar that thrummed with imperial-heaven pre-beginning powers.

He wasn't planning to kill them, but rather use them to take control of the entire Nacrelight Sageland. After all, the Nacrelight Sageland was a major sect, with numerous Paramount Gods, so taking it over wouldn't be an easy task.

As soon as she looked around, Summer Soundfyre blurted, "Summer Vastcold? It's you!"

Meanwhile, Summer Vastcold and Mother Voidwalker looked over with expressions of shock.

"Summer Soundfyre?!" Hatred flashed across Summer Vastcold's face, but just as quickly, it vanished, and she smiled bitterly. "We were both fooled by Void Qi, weren't we?"

"That's right." Yang Qi said, walking out with hands clasped behind his back, flanked by Yang Immortal-Slayer.

Smiling ruthlessly, he continued, "Of course, you brought this disaster on your own heads. I offered to help you, and even gave you immense wealth. But you were plotting against me the entire time. You planned to take control of me in the end, and take my wealth. So can you really blame me?"

"How could I have fallen for this?" Mother Voidwalker said, glaring at Yang Qi as she struggled to sit up straight. "Tell me, who are you working for? Your cultivation base isn't strong enough to do this to us."

"My cultivation base?" He laughed loudly as a tempest of Unbounded will erupted around him crushing everything around them.

Mother Voidwalker's face fell. "Unbounded will convergence?!"

"That's right. I'm an Unbounded expert. And you think I can't do anything to you? Very funny. You just can't see the truth about my cultivation base, that's all." Reining in his will, he clasped Yang Immortal-Slayer on the shoulder and said, "By the way, let me introduce my brother, who's an apprentice of King Immortal-Slayer."

"King Immortal-Slayer!" Mother Voidwalker said in shock. "King Immortal-Slayer isn't dead?"

"Of course not. How could he have an apprentice if he's dead? And we're in the Cruiser of Civilization right now. The complete cruiser. Did you really believe me when I said I hadn't unlocked the full legacy of the Lord of Civilization?"

"Void Qi!" Summer Vastcold grated. "The Nacrelight Sageland won't let you off the hook for treating us like this. It doesn't matter if you have help from the Lord of Civilization. He was inferior to the High Priestess!"

"The High Priestess?" Yang Qi clasped his hands behind his back. "I forgot to tell you that I'm not just the successor of the Lord of Civilization. You see, I bear the God Legion Seal."

He waved his hand, and a vortex sprang up, sending a dazzling stream of golden light shooting out. It weighed down so heavily on the three women that they were immediately forced to prostrate themselves on the ground. As for Mother Voidwalker, her eyes were already blank with shock.

"You three are going to acknowledge allegiance to me and become my slaves," Yang Qi said. "Don't worry, I'll restore your strength. The God Legion Seal is omnipotent, after all. I want to take over the Nacrelight Sageland, and even though the three of you have been bled dry, I can help you recover. After all, I command the Cruiser of Civilization's godhood manufacturing systems, psychic scaling systems, imperial-heaven pre-beginning systems, genetic systems, vivicreation systems, and of course I have my God Legion Seal."

"You're delusional!" Mother Voidwalker said. "You'll never enslave us, Void Qi. We're loyal to the Nacrelight Sageland. Not even killing us will change that."

"In that case, I suppose I have no other choice than to kill you. Most people say, better a bad life than a good death. But if you disagree, then so be it." Yang Qi shook his head sadly.

"Hold on a moment, Young Sir," Summer Soundfyre said. "Just wait a second."

"Oh? What is it?" Yang Qi asked.

"Young Sir, surely you understand everything that happened before," Summer Soundfyre said. "People will die for riches just as birds will die for food. You want to punish me, and I understand that. Perhaps Mother Voidwalker and Summer Vastcold want to be stubborn, but not me. If you restore my power and give those two to me to handle, I'll serve you faithfully, no matter what."

Chapter 1328: Planting Moles

Summer Soundfyre hated Summer Vastcold and Mother Voidwalker with a passion, and had no desire to wallow in the muck with them. From what she could tell, she had an opportunity on her hands, so why not take advantage of it?

"Summer Soundfyre!" Summer Vastcold growled. "We're both from the Nacrelight Sageland, and this man clearly has evil intentions. I can't believe you would side with him against our sect! Do dignity and faith mean nothing to you?"

"What's the point of dignity and faith?" Summer Soundfyre replied. "Life and death are on the line here. And I couldn't be happier to see you two morons dead. Young Sir, instead of just killing them, why not let me take their strength?"

"Go ahead. They want to be stubborn, and killing them won't do any good." He flicked his finger, and a golden stream of light entered Summer Soundfyre, connecting directly to her soul.

"What are you doing to me, Young Sir?" she asked in trepidation.

"As a successor of the High Priestess, you know about the God Legion Seal, right? I'm marking you with the seal, and placing a throne for you in its god kingdom. You belong to me now. Soon, you'll be back at full strength. And now for your first task: kill Summer Vastcold."

"Oh," Summer Soundfyre murmured. She now knew that she was well and truly tied to Yang Qi. All the major sects in the god world knew the stories of the God Legion Seal, although no one had actually laid eyes on it.

In fact, her heart sank as she realized that even the High Priestess had feared the God Legion Seal. So what could Summer Soundfyre do against it?

Regardless, she had a chance to kill Summer Vastcold now, so she was happy.

Struggling to her feet, she walked in Summer Vastcold's direction and said, "Well, Summer Vastcold, we've been fighting each other our entire lives. And now you're finally going to die at my hand. Any last words?"

"You're betraying the sect, Summer Soundfyre!" Summer Vastcold replied in a shaky voice. "You'll die a miserable death for this!"

"Betraying the sect? This young sir commands the God Legion Seal! He's the successor of the boundless Sovereign Lord! The High Priestess was a subordinate of the Sovereign Lord in years past, which means the Nacrelight Sageland ranks below the young sir! What do you have to say to that? Maybe the noble spirit of the High Priestess is actually happy for me, and is using me to punish you!"

As the words left her mouth, she prepared to strike Summer Vastcold atop the head.

"Hold on!" Mother Voidwalker shouted, knowing full well where things were going. As Summer Soundfyre stepped back in surprise, Mother Voidwalker glared at Yang Qi and said, "Void Qi, are you really planning to kill us? If we die, the three matriarchs will definitely use heavenly workings divination arts to determine who did it. You can't hide from them, and once they identify you, they'll chase you forever until they bring you to justice."

"Oh? Chase me forever?" Yang Qi threw his head back and laughed. "Sorry. I forgot to tell you. I'm a Fateless One. It doesn't matter what divination techniques your Paramount Gods use. Once I vanish, they'll never find me."

"What?" Mother Voidwalker said. "You're a Fateless One? But I locked onto your destiny before!"

"Fool! Have you never heard of the Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth and the Life-Death Void-Destruction Lightning? I'm done wasting my breath on you. You two lied to me again and again, all with the goal of killing me. Draining you of power is less than you deserve. I should sell you as slaves to the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty's mining colonies, where you would be ravaged day and night. That said, you do have profound cultivation bases, so the safest thing is just to kill you in body and soul."

His words were cold and ruthless, and the determination in his tone struck icy fear into their hearts.

"Hold on!" Mother Voidwalker said. "I'll join you. I'll be your slave!"

At this point, she realized that resistance wouldn't do any good.

"Master!" Summer Vastcold blurted in horrified shock.

"Enough," Mother Voidwalker said. "He's made things very clear. He has the God Legion Seal and he's a Fateless One. He's destined to be an important person in the chiliocosm of worlds that make up the god world." Looking at Yang Qi, she continued, "If my speculation is correct, you have monarch godhood, don't you?"

Yang Qi nodded. "I do. And so does my brother here."

"Impossible!" Summer Vastcold shrieked. "How could two people have monarch godhood!? Two tigers can't live on one mountain!"

"The explanation is simple. This brother of mine is actually my clone. Although he's already started walking his own path, we're still the same on a substructural level. He's me. I'm him. And because I'm a Fateless One with no fate, he borrowed my place in the river of fate to form monarch godhood. Alright, cut the crap. Since you're all acknowledging allegiance to me, I'm going to place a sealing mark on all of you to help you recover. I bled you dry, but your substructure wasn't damaged. The God Legion Seal and the Cruiser of Civilization can ensure that you get right back to normal. Perhaps you'll even make some progress."

RUMBLE!

Yang Qi's Unbounded will exploded out, and all of the systems of the Cruiser of Civilization whirred to life. He made a clutching gesture, and a perfect caliber godstone appeared, which he fed into the cruiser, causing power to surge out of it and into the three women.

Already, Yang Qi had adjusted the flow of time inside the cruiser, so that a day on the outside was like a hundred years inside.

Five hundred years passed in the cruiser, but only five days passed on the outside.

When it was over, Summer Vastcold, Summer Soundfyre, and Mother Voidwalker had all recovered. Unfortunately for Mother Voidwalker, though, she was still very weak, and would need special medicinal ingredients and pills to regain full strength.

"My best wishes to you, Young Sir," Summer Soundfyre said. "It's all thanks to you that I've fully recovered. Going forward, I'm sure that I'll eventually reach the Unbounded level."

"Well, of course," he replied with a smile. "You three are now completely under my control. I even monitor your thoughts. Now I'm going to give you forty trillion godstones each, which I want you to use to start a new society. Call it... hmm... call it the Sage Monarchess Society. In less than three hundred years, I expect it to be the top society in the Nacrelight Sageland."

"Forty trillion each?" Summer Soundfyre said, her jaw dropping. "You're really giving us that much wealth?"

"You think that's impressive?" Yang Qi said with a cynical smile. "If you serve me well, forty trillion will be nothing compared to what you can receive in the future. I could even give you four hundred trillion. Going forward, you'll provide full support to the Sage Monarch Consortium on the Heaven-Wretch Continent. I want it to become the top business there."

"Yes sir..."

After five hundred years inside the Cruiser of Civilization, Mother Voidwalker knew full well that she couldn't defy Yang Qi. It almost didn't matter that he had the God Legion Seal; he could crush her with pure psychic power alone.

"Go!"

Majestic godpower wrapped up the three women and sent them hurtling away from the Cruiser of Civilization like shooting stars.

"I need to head back too, Yang Qi," said Yang Immortal-Slayer. "I have to continue working on my cultivation with the Lord of the True Void. It's possible I could break into the Unbounded level soon. I may be a Paramount God before long." The five hundred years spent in the Cruiser of Civilization had helped Yang Immortal-Slayer stabilize his cultivation base, and although he hadn't made any observable progress, after absorbing everything from the sacrifice and the medicinal pill, he had achieved major enlightenment.

Yang Qi nodded. "Be careful. Don't reveal everything to the Lord of the True Void."

"I know. King Immortal-Slayer helps me hide the truth. With him at my side providing assistance, I'm not worried about anyone trying to take advantage of me."

With that, the two of them split up. Yang Qi kept the completed Cruiser of Civilization to help train his subordinates. He was now the most powerful force in the House of God Ordainment; never before had an Unbounded expert appeared in the sect. That said, he wasn't going to make a big show of might. Although he would be secure within the sect, if word about him spread, other major sects might take an interest in him and send Paramount Gods to investigate. For instance, the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty.

For now, he would keep everything secret as he focused on finding more pieces of the Mahātmā Jade.

If he could complete the Mahātmā Jade as well, his cultivation base would definitely reach the virtually incomprehensible half Annulled level. When that happened, he would be able to dominate everything under heaven.

Yang Qi slipped back into the House of God Ordainment with little fanfare. After all his time away, he realized more than ever how weak this sect was.

"Yang Qi! You're back!"

Jadefall was the first to meet him. "How are things? Did everything go well? I heard some major things happened. Paramount Gods from the Nacrelight Sageland and the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty clashed, causing a major scene."

"Call everyone together," Yang Qi said, snapping his finger to summon a bubble.

He looked over at the purrling, and his gaze was now vastly beyond anything from before. Now he could perceive certain things about the purrling that he couldn't before. Its substructure was so shocking that it could topple cosmoses. And it had an entire universe inside of it, something different from the god world, yet no weaker than it. In fact, it seemed that it could ultimately turn into something very similar to the god world.

Chapter 1329: Transforming Subordinates

Purr. Purr...

The purrling looked at Yang Qi in shock, clearly surprised that he had reached the Unbounded level so quickly. Apparently, he was finally in the position of being able to earn its respect.

It didn't take long for all of his friends and family to gather. All of them were there, other than Yang Immortal-Slayer.

"Did you really reach the Unbounded level, Yang Qi?" the Shepherd asked enviously. "In that case, we're really going to be able to expand now. We're the top faction in the House of God Ordainment, and soon we'll be able to take it over completely."

"That's right," Proud World said, a hint of complaining in his voice. "During the year you've been gone, we had to suffer in silence. Some of the Perfect God chief elders have been going hard on us, and there have even been assassins from the dao of devils trying to take us out. Thankfully, we all got plenty of experience dealing with assassins back on the Ancient Road to the Gods, otherwise some of us wouldn't be here today."

They were all still Greater Gods, which meant they couldn't dominate Consummate Gods, let alone Perfect Gods.

The Sage Monarch Society continued growing stronger, but that only meant the leaders of the sect were working that much harder to keep them in check. If it weren't for Jadefall and the purrling, they would have already been wiped out.

Thankfully, they were all clever and experienced, and normally kept the truth about their cultivation and techniques hidden. That, coupled with the various magical treasures they held, ensured that the assassination attempts against them had all failed.

"We're not in any hurry. It's been years since an Unbounded expert rose up in the House of God Ordainment. When I make my presence known, it's going to cause a massive shakeup. And I'll instantly become a big target. For the time being, I want to stay hidden and keep working on growing stronger.

"The reason I came back is to help all of you improve your energy arts and develop unique godhood. You'll have godhood second only to monarch godhood. And of course, you can pick your most loyal apprentices and disciples to be blessed as well." With that, he produced the Cruiser of Civilization, and also explained all the dramatic events of the past year in the Nacrelight Sageland.

"You completed the Cruiser of Civilization?!" Doom said, reaching out and running a hand over its surface. "With this, we really can remold ourselves."

"So you mean the fight between the Nacrelight Sageland and the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty was your doing?" Jadefall asked. "How strong are you now that you have that Mahātmā Jade? You must be stronger than an ordinary Unbounded expert. Can you defeat Paramount Gods in battle?"

"Yes, I can defeat ordinary Paramount Gods," Yang Qi said. "And I also have some moles in place in the Nacrelight Sageland, which means I can funnel more resources to the Sage Monarch Consortium."

"Qi'er," said Yang Zhan, "I don't mean to impose, but shouldn't we just go ahead and make a huge scene here? If you can get into the treasure storehouses of both the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty and the Nacrelight Sageland, why not just clear them out? With those resources, we could take our most loyal people out into the depths of space-time and train them into one of the top sects in existence. Or maybe we could just flee to some other continent. The god world is huge. Even the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty and the Nacrelight Sageland are only so influential."

"There's no need to be in a rush," Yang Qi replied. "You have Paramount Gods on your side. Furthermore, me stealing the godhood manufacturing systems from the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty put them on guard against thieves. Getting back in there won't be easy. And it's the same with the Nacrelight Sageland. However, after things calm down a bit, I'll definitely head back and clear them out."

"Plan well, then make a move," Sectlord Will Manifestation said. "You can't rush things like this, otherwise you'll lose out."

"Okay, let's head into the Cruiser of Civilization. I'll remold you and give you special godhood. Each of you will have at least two or three types of unique godhood, which will boost your cultivation base significantly. Maybe I can even add more than three types."

As they entered the cruiser, Yang Qi produced more perfect caliber godstones to begin the process.

Special godhood had major requirements. And Yang Qi's friends and family were all top geniuses, which meant that, normally speaking, it would have been very difficult for them to do this. But with the Cruiser of Civilization, they could remold their godhood, boost their fighting prowess, and improve their cultivation bases.

Bzzzzzzzzzzz...

Yang Qi had Unbounded will and perfect caliber godstones. Although that wasn't quite enough to power the cruiser to the same level it had reached in years past when it was in the hands of the Lord of Civilization, it was very close. At the very least, it surpassed any treasures in the House of God Ordainment, and was on par with the best that the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty or Nacrelight Sageland could offer.

As the cruiser analyzed the genes of his friends and family, as well as their godhood and psyches, Yang Qi again adjusted the flow of time inside. At the same time, he used the heavenly workings calculations systems to start tracking down the general location of the next piece of Mahātmā Jade he wanted to get.

Within his mind, a map appeared depicting a sea of continents and a web of teleportation portals. It was so far away that the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty and the Nacrelight Sageland weren't even depicted.

No matter how much of the god world Yang Qi had explored, he was still a frog in a well. After all, not even the Sovereign Lord had ever come to understand the true extent of the god world. And despite how powerful the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty was, it was hard to say how many other sects existed that were their equal. Perhaps there were as many as the eternal sands.

In that distant oceanic area, there were numerous islands, continents, kingdoms and the like, as well as boundless destiny that surpassed that of the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty.

Just what sort of powers existed there?

Yang Qi had no way to easily speculate or figure out the answer to that question.

Furthermore, even given the speeds he was capable of, reaching that location would involve at least a year of flying.

That was no surprise. In the ancient era, there had been Paramount Gods who explored distant regions, and would fly for countless years to do so. That was why not even the most powerful gods truly understood the god world. And it made it clear how much more growth Yang Qi had ahead of him.

'These islands have so many nations on them,' he thought. 'The next piece of the Mahātmā Jade is there, but with so many organizations, how will I check them all?'

After studying the map for a time, he found that the destiny swelled and grew to the point where it forcibly dispelled the image.

'The destiny there is so intense it resists inspection.' Waving his hand, he summoned a similar representation of the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty and the Nacrelight Sageland, and found that their networks of destiny were strong, but not so strong that they resisted his inspection.

That made it even more obvious how strong the organizations in this location were.

With that, he focused on his friends and family. A month passed, and the Sage Monarch Society's position within the House of God Ordainment grew stronger than ever.

Next, he began summoning loyal disciples into the Cruiser of Civilization to benefit their cultivation. Another month passed. The Sage Monarch Consortium was extremely profitable, thanks to the help of Summer Soundfyre, Summer Vastcold, and Mother Voidwalker.

When Yang Qi needed something, whether Paramount medicinal pills, Unbounded medicinal pills, or rare god plants, he would simply send a message to Mother Voidwalker, and she would get them.

In the past, Yang Qi had possessed capital, but no connections.

Mother Voidwalker was different. She and Summer Soundfyre had plenty of contacts among the Paramount Gods and even leaders from the dao of devils.

With the money to operate with, they could do almost anything. After all, Summer Soundfyre had acquired the head of a Paramount God from the dao of devils not too long ago.

The Sage Monarch Consortium was thriving in the chaos of the Heaven-Wretch Continent. Unfortunately, there was still the Nacrelight Sageland as a whole to deal with. Mother Voidwalker alone wasn't strong enough to influence the sect in general.

In the end, they didn't lack anything.

Medicinal pills flowed in, completely unbeknownst to the other forces in the House of God Ordainment. Many people assumed that the Sage Monarch Society had fallen silent because someone attacked them and struck a big blow.

Meanwhile, for every day that passed, a hundred years went by in the Cruiser of Civilization. Considering a month had passed, that meant three thousand years had gone by. Normally speaking, that would have been a bad thing. Gods in the god world had limited longevity, and most would die if three thousand years passed.

But the Cruiser of Civilization could resolve that issue.

The genetic systems and vivicreation systems could increase life force and extend longevity. If it couldn't, then how could it be considered a marvelous god item?

Chapter 1330: Battle Armlets

As long as there were enough godstones to power the Cruiser of Civilization, its systems could be activated and used. Power could be converted into corporeal objects and bodies could be remolded. Even a Paramount God could be completely transformed by the cruiser. Of course, thanks to the God Legion Seal, Yang Qi could produce a never-ending supply of perfect caliber godstones to power the cruiser, something no other Paramount God could do.

The Sage Monarch Society was growing like an inflating balloon.

All the important disciples spent three thousand years practicing cultivation in the cruiser, unlocking their true strength. Their life force, genes, and godhood transformed, so that in the end, Yang Qi's friends and families were all Consummate Gods. And they weren't ordinary Consummate Gods, but rather peak Consummate Gods.

All of them had three unique types of godhood which, when combined, could unleash immense power, to the point where they could devastate even peak Perfect Gods in combat.

As for Jadefall, she actually broke into the Perfect God level, and her psychic power reached the late Paramount level. She really was a top figure.

Meanwhile, among the ordinary disciples of the Sage Monarch Society, there were over a thousand who became Greater Gods.

There was no lack of medicinal pills and other resources, so everyone was able to further their cultivation very smoothly. Bai Yin was there, and was now a Consummate God.

The Sage Monarch Society was advancing by leaps and bounds; in the month that passed, they quickly became the strongest faction in the House of God Ordainment.

Not even the Mystery Society could compare.

Of course, that wasn't publicly known at the moment. None of the elite members of the Sage Monarch Society made a big show publicly, but instead spent their time in quiet meditation, or outside the sect on missions.

That said, there were some who didn't need to go out of the sect to get combat experience. The vivicreation systems in the Cruiser of Civilization were able to create a biochemical dimension filled with hordes of vicious morphlings. The creatures were so ruthless that no demon-devil, godling, devil king, or asura could compare to them. As such, it could be imagined how useful it was to gain combat experience in that fashion.

The Lord of Civilization had created the vivicreation systems by gaining enlightenment of the most ruthless and malicious creatures among all the countless civilizations that had existed at the time. He mixed their genes with both devil-gods from hell and godlings from the god world. He even added in genetic material from creatures that hadn't yet come to exist at that time, or were from the most ancient primal-chaos.

An army of morphlings like that would be so violent and destructive that it could crush just about anything in its path.

Considering Yang Qi now understood many of the profundities of the cruiser, and could work with the vivicreation systems, genetic systems, godhood manufacturing systems, and power assessment systems, it was a simple thing for him to make endless armies of morphlings to use for training purposes.

In fact, he could even make morphlings that were as strong as Consummate Gods. Given some time, he would become a Paramount God, and then he could create Perfect God morphlings.

That was what could be done when one had an endless supply of power.

In fact, it was easier for Yang Qi to use the Cruiser of Civilization than it had been for the Lord of Civilization in years past. After all, the Lord of Civilization had also needed godstones to operate the ship.

"Morphlings, come forth!"

On a large world on one of the cruiser's training decks, Yang Qi waved both hands, sending out his Unbounded will to activate the powers of the cruiser and its various systems.

Bzzz. Bzzz. Bzzz.

Thunder and lightning crashed within the world, and rain fell in torrents from the dark clouds above. Meanwhile, vital energy swirled, forming flesh and blood. Streams of life force and genetic material converged, and great daos swirled out of the void.

In the end, an enormous morphling appeared.

It was extremely vicious-looking, with the wings of a fiend-devil, a spiraling horn on its head, razor-sharp fangs, and innate battle instincts. As for the godhood within it, it was at the peak of the Consummate God level, and its will convergence was in the late Paramount level.

It was just on the verge of being in the Perfect God level!

Roar!

Scales rippled on the morphling's body, like magical symbols that were impervious to all sorts of weapons. No attacks could pierce this creature's hide.

All of a sudden, Doom flew out and attacked the morphling. It howled, dodging back and forth as quickly as lightning as it unleashed a host of dazzling techniques. It had hundreds of divine abilities from the martial path, as well as energy arts from both the dao of devils and the dao of righteousness, which it combined in unparalleled fashion.

This morphling was very impressive, but it couldn't stand up to Doom. He threw both hands out as he blurred into motion, unleashing thirty-six different moves that smashed into the morphling and found all of its weaknesses. In the end, a stream of sword energy slashed into the morphling's head, cutting the entire thing into eight pieces.

But then the morphling wriggled and twitched, and in the blink of an eye, it was whole again and back on its feet. And apparently, it had learned from the encounter.

In response, Doom transformed into a stream of golden light as he attacked with the Sovereign Lord's Holy and Far-Reaching Consummate Omnicurse.

SHUNK!

The morphling burst into flame, and in short order it was reduced to nothing more than a pile of ashes.

"That was a strong morphling, Yang Qi," Doom said. "Freakish defenses and a solid cultivation base. If I hadn't used that killing move, I probably wouldn't have been a match for it. This deck is almost too much! I can't believe you can casually create morphlings as powerful as this. It's like cheating!"

"Casually create morphlings?" Yang Qi waved his hand dismissively. "That's the strongest morphling I can create at the moment, and it takes a huge amount of godstones. In fact, it's about a hundred billion godnotes worth of godstones. Think about it. Who else but me could create something like that?"

"What? It took a hundred billion godnotes worth of godstones to create that thing?" Doom shivered. "So I might as well have just burned a hundred billion godnotes?"

Yang Qi nodded. "You could say that. I can create peak Consummate God morphlings, but it's extremely expensive. If an ordinary Paramount God somehow got ahold of the Cruiser of Civilization, he'd go broke trying to make morphlings. Thankfully, I have an endless supply of wealth."

"Make some more!"

RUUUUUUUUMBLE!

Nearly ten morphlings took shape, each of them peak Consummate Gods, their eyes glowing red as they looked around for victims to slaughter.

"I can make ten or so of these type per day, so over the last month, I've been able to create a stockpile of about three hundred of them. In a few years, I'll have an army of them. And they're definitely superior to human troops, because they all share the same thoughts."

In the god world, armies were generally preferred over individual fighters. If a thousand Quasi-Gods pooled their godpower in a formation, they could easily kill a Lesser God.

A few hundred Lesser Gods could kill a Common God, and a few hundred Common Gods could kill a Greater God.

With enough training, just about anything was possible.

As for the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty, it could muster millions upon millions of troops, the weakest of which were Lesser Gods. As could be imagined, when their troops got into formation, even Consummate Gods would be in real trouble.

And it could only be imagined how terrifying it would be to have an army of a billion, ten billion, hundred billion, or trillion.

Back in the primeval era, the most powerful armies were those made up by angels. After all, they could unify their thoughts and wills, which were completely pure.

The worst thing for an army was for its soldiers to have individual thoughts. When that happened, it would disrupt the vital energy and damage the spell formations. Soldiers needed to be united.

Although all armies had various training regimens for their soldiers, how could any of them measure up to either angels or morphlings?

"Morph!"

Drawing on the God Legion Seal, Yang Qi transformed the morphling, causing its devil energy to vanish, and replacing it with a holy, white halo. Although the creature wasn't an angel, it was purer and stronger, without a scrap of devil energy.

The morphling had transformed into a holy beast!

"All of you, take these holy beasts out into the world. Ten for each of you. I've placed a ten preeminences spell formation into each of their brains so that each group of ten can act as one. In turn, all of them have hundreds of Greater God holy beast subordinates, thousands of Common Gods, and tens of thousands of Lesser Gods. With an army like this, you'll be able to take down Perfect Gods."

He waved his hand, causing crystal bracelets to appear on the wrists of all his people.

"I've created these using the techniques of the Lord of Civilization. They're called Battle Armlets. You can use them to house the armies under your control, and release them at any time."

Civilization was born out of battle. In other words, without battle, civilization couldn't exist. Thus, it was only war that led to the rise of great cultures. It was a basic truth.

So it was a given that the Lord of Civilization was inextricably tied to battle.

Yang Qi had created his morphling armies, and now he had given Battle Armlets to his friends and family, giving them instant access to, and control over, those immense armies.

1. An interesting thing: in Chinese, it uses the gender-neutral pronoun "they" 它们 for the angels, as opposed to the masculine or mixed 他们 or the purely feminine 她们.

Chapter 1331: Bringing an Army

The Battle Armlets could contain the armies of morphlings Yang Qi had created. They could also bestow halos from the Eternal Heavenly Aria, and even had other functions and abilities. They could control troop deployments, release killing energy, transform the environment, improve troop morale, and more. They were the ultimate tool for warfare.

There were some experts who would use thralls to create armies. However, such armies were difficult to control, and required the use of immensely powerful magical treasures. Furthermore, if the person controlling the army lost control, it could instantly turn the tide of a battle and lead to a deadly defeat.

The Battle Armlets were different. With a mere thought, the user could control everything related to the army.

They were manifestations of the energy of war, and very different from ordinary spatial treasures. Those ordinary treasures usually involved opening a spatial portal that an army could march through. However, the Battle Armlets could be used to instantly create an entire battlefield filled with holy beasts.

If word spread that items like this existed, it would cause a major uproar, and countless experts would rush to try to get them.

Yang Qi created enough for all of his friends and family, as well as the key figures of the Sage Monarch Society.

The months started ticking by, and soon enough, a year had passed.

Yang Qi didn't further alter the flow of time in the Cruiser of Civilization. Allowing for three thousand years of cultivation was enough. After all, it was possible for the blurring of reality in such circumstances to lead to cultivation deviation.

Meanwhile, Yang Qi's three thousand years of cultivation ensured that his foundation was very solid. He had fully mastered his use of the Mahātmā Jade, and his Unbounded will convergence was solid. At the same time, his godhood reached the late Perfect God level.

He would need a lot more power and medicinal pills to push his godhood to the peak of the Perfect God level, and beyond it, to the Paramount God level.

During the year that passed, Mother Voidwalker, Summer Soundfyre, and Summer Vastcold followed orders, using the vast wealth they had been given to purchase as many Unbounded medicinal pills as they could get their hands on.

Of course, they had no other choice but to follow orders. Yang Qi controlled them down to their very thoughts, and wouldn't permit them to do anything that defied him.

Also during the year that passed, Yang Qi created more holy beasts to populate the armies in the Battle Armlets of his friends and family.

His goal was for each of them to command an army of millions or tens of millions. That way, if they ever encountered an Unbounded enemy, they would have a chance of coming out on top in a conflict.

Of course, that wasn't something that could be accomplished overnight.

He was an Unbounded expert, but even he would tire from such activity.

Besides, at the moment, creating Common, and even Greater Gods wouldn't be particularly helpful, much less Lesser Gods. And Consummate Gods took a lot of resources to complete.

For now, the best thing was to create peak Greater God holy beasts.

At the end of the year that passed, his friends and family all had armies of hundreds of thousands of holy beasts.

How terrifying of a concept was an army of hundreds of thousands of peak Greater Gods?

If the House of God Ordainment counted all of its Greater Gods, it probably wouldn't even reach the level of a hundred thousand. By extension, that meant that even one of Yang Qi's friends or family could take on all the Greater Gods in the House of God Ordainment. And that wasn't even mentioning the fact that their armies contained some holy beasts that were as strong as peak Consummate Gods.

"We're finally getting truly strong," Jadefall said after her most recent breakthrough. "Yang Qi, the Sage Monarch Society is stronger than any of the other factions. Don't you think it's time to take over the House of God Ordainment? Do we really need to wait for the tricentennial election?"

"I suppose we can do it soon," Yang Qi said with a nod. "You're half a step into the Unbounded level, and your godhood is at the peak Perfect God level. You're essentially on the same level as Summer Vastcold and Summer Soundfyre. That said, it's not likely that you'll break into the Unbounded level in the next few hundred years. I don't want to reveal the fact that I've already reached the Unbounded level. That said, the Sage Monarch Society has secretly reached the level of being able to crush all the other factions. Let's wait until Yang Immortal-Slayer reaches the Unbounded level. Then we can raise our flags in the House of God Ordainment. For now, though, let's keep operating in secret."

"Alright, I'll start making the arrangements." With that, Jadefall passed along a few orders. Already, the secret preparations were underway.

The ocean beyond the House of God Ordainment was occupied by various sects, nations, and peoples. On one particular island, a series of white streaks of light shot up, interlocking to create something like a white lotus. It was a spell formation that could keep out the vile climate of the god world.

The leader of the Preheaven Society, Wang Xiantian, was on that island, and as he looked at the white lotus formation, he said, "Greetings, oh forty brothers of the White Clan. I am Wang Xiantian, leader of the Preheaven Society in the House of God Ordainment. I'm here for an audience."

Buzzzz.

"Well, if it isn't Wang Xiantian from the House of God Ordainment. That's a very big sect. Why exactly have you come to White Stone Island to see us forty brothers?"

Thump. Swish. Rustle.

White lotuses bloomed as forty individuals appeared, all of them Consummate Gods, except for one, who was an early Perfect God. These forty brothers led a powerful organization, although it wasn't close to being on the same level as the House of God Ordainment.

"My reason for coming is simple," said Wang Xiantian. "I need your help dealing with someone. The forty brothers of the White Clan are well known for their power on the ocean. Although you're not on the same level as the superpower sects, you're definitely first-tier. And when you join forces together, you're beyond compare. Together, you've vanquished many enemies in battle."

"Who do you want us to fight, Wang Xiantian?" said the oldest of the brothers. "And you're willing to pay, right?"

"I can pay. I want you to rob a consortium that belongs to the damned Sage Monarch Society of the House of God Ordainment. They have seafaring operations with plenty of ships carrying goods back and forth. So what do you think? The key members of the Sage Monarch Society have been on the move lately, and according to my information, the person in charge of the seafaring aspects of the consortium is a woman named Yang Memory. I want her killed! Either that, or taken captive."

Yang Memory was actually Peaklord Memory, who had since taken the surname Yang.

She was in charge of sourcing products from the various islands in the area, which would then be brought in and sold in the main headquarters. Business had been expanding rapidly, and countless pirates were killed in the process. As of now, the Sage Monarch Consortium had a virtual monopoly on seafaring trade.

"No problem," said the leader of the White Clan brothers. "We would probably have done it whether you asked us to or not. The Sage Monarch Consortium has been meddling in the seafaring business, and has started being very obstinate. We've actually lost a lot of business because of it, so striking a heavy blow in this regard will be good. That said, if we kill a disciple from the House of God Ordainment, how will we escape retribution?"

Wang Xiantian laughed. "Don't worry about that. The junior houselord, and even the houselord himself, are very interested in keeping the Sage Monarch Society in check. Killing a few people from the Sage Monarch Society won't provoke any reaction at all. That I can guarantee."

"Fine. We'll do the killing first and then talk about the price later." The White Clan brothers then flew up into the air.

However, that was when a melodious string of laughter reached their ears, and a young woman appeared.

"You want to have me killed, Wang Xiantian? As I'm sure you're aware, the penalty for conspiring with outsiders to harm fellow disciples is... death!" Of course, it was none other than Yang Memory.

Jaw dropping, Wang Xiantian said, "Yang Memory?! When did you become a Consummate God? This is impossible! How can you achieve progress so quickly?"

"Nothing is impossible," she replied. "Now, come with me to report your crime to the House of God Ordainment. And you forty brothers of the White Clan, you come with me to testify as witnesses."

The brothers of the White Clan burst out laughing, and the oldest among them said, "Do you know what you're asking, bitch?!"

"Did I not say it clearly enough? Should I repeat myself? I'm arresting Wang Xiantian for conspiring against a fellow disciple. And you're coming with me to testify and also be sentenced for your crimes."

Wang Xiantian let loose a stream of maniacal laughter. "You're insane! Maybe you're a Consummate God, but so am I. And while you're an early Consummate God, I'm in the peak level. You'd end up dead trying to fight me alone, let alone all of these forty brothers. You could have strolled your way to heaven, but—"

"Cut the crap," Yang Memory growled. "Since you're not complying, I'll use force. Battle Armlets!"

RUMBLE!

The bracelet on her wrist flared with bright light, causing everything to shift and tilt as an enormous battlefield appeared, filled with holy beasts arrayed in formation, battle banners flapping in the wind and drums beating.

It contained five hundred and sixty thousand Greater God holy beasts and a hundred peak Consummate Gods, all of them blessed by the Eternal Heavenly Aria.

Even just a few thousand Greater Gods who joined forces could take down an early Consummate God, and here were five hundred and sixty thousand. There were also holy beasts in the Consummate God level. This was a force that could shake the heavens and topple the earth!

"What's going on here? How could you have an army this big?!"

"Peak Greater Gods?! How are there so many? Dear lord! Even the House of God Ordainment as a whole only has about a hundred thousand Greater Gods!" Wang Xiantian couldn't believe his eyes. "This is a trick! It's only an illusion!"

Chapter 1332: Big Trial

Five hundred and sixty thousand peak Greater Gods, all free from impurities. No ordinary person could create an army like that, but Yang Qi could, with his morphlings transformed into holy beasts. They were essentially like angels! When in formation, a force like that could even contend with an Unbounded expert.

In other words, even if an Unbounded expert showed up and tried to cause problems for Yang Memory, she could sacrifice her army and escape with little more than a few cuffs and kicks.

Of course, those five hundred and sixty thousand Greater Gods would end up wiped out of existence in the process. But it would be worth it to escape from an Unbounded expert. Besides, Yang Qi could always build another army to replace it.

In the entire god world, only he was capable of such things.

For example, the House of God Ordainment only had a hundred thousand Greater Gods, and they were considered elites within the sect. To sacrifice all of them to save a single person would be a loss too great to sustain.

Therefore, it was obvious that an army of five hundred and sixty thousand Greater Gods could conquer mountains and rivers, and subjugate everything around it. Wherever this army went, the glory of monarchs was visible.

RUMBLE!

War drums pounded as the five hundred and sixty thousand Greater God holy beasts howled, the sound causing space to crumble. Meanwhile, vital energy and godpower surged out of them, transforming into an enormous hand that rumbled forward.

With one smooth move, it reached into the water and ripped the island up into the air.

"Agggghhhhh!" screamed Wang Xiantian. He didn't even have the chance to flee before he was grabbed up, godpower piercing into him to prevent him from even moving.

The leader of the White Clan brothers, an early Perfect God, tried to fight back, but he was viciously beaten down. Meanwhile, the spell formation protecting the island was wiped out of existence.

SPLAT!

The leader of the White Clan coughed up a huge mouthful of blood, and a halo appeared above his head; it was none other than the Light of Weakness, which rapidly ate away at his power.

"Manacles of War!" Yang Memory said from in the middle of the huge army. The holy beasts shifted formation, causing the outflux of godpower to become majestic manacles that bound up the White Clan brothers.

That was how smoothly things went when a well-oiled machine of an army was commanded by a competent general. For an army like this to pull off the Manacles of War move was incredible; even the most crack troops of the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty couldn't do something similar.

That said, in the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty, the crack troops would be limited to thousands of soldiers. It would be difficult to get a force of over ten thousand, and armies in the hundreds of thousands would prove completely impossible to gather.

The only way it would be feasible would be to use puppets, but they were sluggish and couldn't pull off complicated maneuvers. Furthermore, they couldn't advance their cultivation level.

"Well, White Clan brothers? You're obviously no match for me. Do you submit to the Sage Monarch Society?" Even as the words left her mouth, Yang Memory took the entire battlefield and sucked it back into her Battle Armlet. "If you refuse, the only end you'll meet is death."

"Where... where did the Sage Monarch Society get an army that big?" said the leader of the White Clan. "Of all the sects on all the continents around here, only the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty could possibly accumulate so many crack troops. But they'd never give them over to a single person to command."

"This is nothing. All of my brethren in the Sage Monarch Society have armies like this. And given some time, our armies will be even larger."

Even as the leader of the White Clan gaped, Yang Memory took out a bean-sized perfect caliber godstone, which she put into the bracelet.

Instantly, the bracelet was completely charged back up.

The Battle Armlets were spatial magical treasures that were created by the Cruiser of Civilization, which meant they needed fuel to operate. Of course, the godstone costs were astronomical, but Yang Qi could provide them with whatever they needed.

And with perfect caliber godstones, they could fit even more troops into the Battle Armlets, if they needed to.

"Hmph! We're leaving. This conspiracy is a major violation of sect rules, Wang Xiantian. We're going back immediately and putting you on trial. Let's see how the chief elders sentence you."

Waving her sleeve, Yang Memory swept them up into the cosmic storage space in her sleeve.

'The Sage Monarch Society is really going to rise to prominence now!' she thought. Arresting the leader of the Preheaven Society and taking him back to stand trial was a huge show of dominance for the Sage Monarch Society. There were definitely going to be people in the sect who weren't pleased with this. After all, not even the junior houselord would dare to arrest the leader of one of the major factions. It was a disruption of the equilibrium in the sect, as well as an inherently dangerous move.

Yang Memory knew that, but she also recognized that this was an important step forward in seizing power. She wasn't afraid. She knew that Yang Qi had reached the Unbounded level, and had just spent three thousand years in the Cruiser of Civilization, stabilizing his cultivation base and creating hordes upon hordes of holy beasts. In all of the House of God Ordainment, only the secret reserve power was something they needed to be leery of.

What was more, Yang Immortal-Slayer would soon reach the Unbounded level.

Once he did, the Sage Monarch Society would have two sharp swords, one shining and bright, the other dark and gloomy. And the House of God Ordainment would fall easily to their control.

Yang Memory took all of the captives back to the god kingdom of the House of God Ordainment. Although she now qualified to become a child of primeval chaos, she first went to the Law-Enforcement God-Palace and sounded the enormous bell there. That bell was usually only struck once every few years, when a major trial was held. And whenever its toll was heard in the sect, all the disciples would head to the Law-Enforcement God-Palace to attend.

Generally speaking, Yang Memory didn't qualify to strike the bell. But when she reached it, she didn't hesitate at all. Booming sounds rang as the sound of the bell caused the sect to tremble.

Three Consummate Gods in the Law-Enforcement God-Palace opened their eyes, and their expressions were filled with rage.

"What? Who struck the Punishment Bell?"

"What gall! What outrageous gall! Who dares to strike the Punishment Bell?"

The three Consummate Gods flew out and saw Yang Memory standing right in front of the bell.

RUMBLE!

"How dare you strike that bell, Yang Memory! Do you have a death wish?" Without mercy, the Consummate God struck out with his palm.

Yang Memory snorted coldly, releasing some power from her Battle Armlet, which slammed into the chief elder and forced him back several steps.

Flicking her sleeve fearlessly, she said, "I struck the Punishment Bell because something huge just happened. Wang Xiantian, the leader of the Preheaven Society, conspired with the pirates known as the White Clan. And I arrested them all."

She wasn't personally a match for these three chief elders. However, she had her Battle Armlet, and she could also sense that Yang Qi's Unbounded will was watching over the proceedings.

"What?!" The chief elder who had just been struck by Yang Memory looked at her in disbelief. "You're a peak Consummate God!? Why haven't you applied to be a child of primeval chaos? And when did you reach that level?"

"Why are you surprised? Yes, I might as well be a child of primeval chaos, so therefore, I have every right to strike the Punishment Bell. Now, get out here, Wang Xiantian!"

She flicked her sleeve again, causing Wang Xiantian and the forty White Clan brothers to tumble out. As soon as he was out in the open, Wang Xiantian started babbling, "Five hundred and sixty thousand peak Greater God soldiers! She has five hundred and sixty thousand! Five hundred and sixty thousand!!"

"What's going on here?" The chief elders were stunned, and had already forgotten why they were angry at Yang Memory.

"White Clan brothers, speak," Yang Memory said. "Did you collude with Wang Xiantian to harm me and the Sage Monarch Society?"

Chapter 1333: Playing Games

"Yes, that's exactly right..." said the leader of the White Clan. All forty of the brothers were trembling in fear. "Wang Xiantian came to visit and said he wanted us to kill you. He said something about you breaking the rules of the game and causing a lot of chaos on the open seas. We never reached an agreement, though. You showed up, arrested us, and brought us here. None of this has anything to do with us! It's all Wang Xiantian's doing! We were talking about what he wanted, but never agreed to do anything!"

Yang Memory nodded. "That's fine, I forgive you. But this vile Wang Xiantian needs to be punished. Otherwise the disciples of the sect as a whole will be furious."

"Hold on!" said one of the chief elders from the Law-Enforcement God-Palace. "What do you mean the disciples as a whole will be furious? Do you speak for all the disciples? Forget about whether Wang Xiantian really did conspire to harm you, Yang Memory. You struck the Punishment Bell without authorization, which is itself a huge crime. You should be the one being punished right now!"

This chief elder was clearly enraged at Yang Memory's behavior, and how she had broken the rules by sounding the bell. Normally, that bell was only struck when all the chief elders agreed to do so. Not even the children of primeval chaos would strike it, for fear of being executed.

Countless disciples were already present, and they saw how shocked the numerous elders and elder kings were by what was happening. Meanwhile, some of the chief elders were high above, conferring with each other. "Why was the Punishment Bell sounded? It shouldn't be sounded casually, does she not know that? It's only to be struck when all the chief elders agree."

"Chief Elders," Wang Xiantian shouted, "this Yang Memory arrested me for no reason! You have to punish her! I didn't do anything. She's not even a child of primeval chaos, so she has no right to take me captive, much less ring the Punishment Bell! She deserves the strictest punishment there is!"

"Yang Memory, release Wang Xiantian immediately," said one of the chief elders. "We'll further investigate the matter of the Punishment Bell, and as long as you admit your crime, you can escape the death penalty. But if you do the wrong thing, then every last member of the Sage Monarch Society is going to be dragged into this."

"In my opinion, this already involves most of the Sage Monarch Society," another chief elder shouted. "They're always sticking their noses into sect business, so I say it's time to crack down on them."

More and more chief elders were gathering, and many of them were already siding against Yang Memory.

"Who just said they want to crack down on the Sage Monarch Society!?"

A voice rang out that caused everything to tremble, whereupon Jadefall appeared, flanked by Yang Qi and the other key members of the Sage Monarch Society. Counting the ordinary members they led, there was a crowd of several tens of thousands. That said, the Law-Enforcement God-Palace was a huge place, and its public square could hold hundreds of thousands of people.

Jadefall's cultivation base was already at the peak Perfect God level, and she had peak Paramount will. She was roughly on the same level as Summer Soundfyre and Summer Vastcold. Those three thousand years of cultivation in the Cruiser of Civilization weren't in vain.

Unfortunately, her breakthrough to the Unbounded level was going to be very difficult, and she wouldn't succeed unless she came across the right good fortune.

"You..."

The chief elders and elder kings were all shocked by Jadefall's aura. "How did your cultivation base improve so much? You're at the peak of the Perfect God level?"

"That's right. I'm a peak Perfect God. And my will is at the peak Paramount level. Without some cultivation base to back it up, why would I ask Yang Memory to ring the Punishment Bell? Am I right, brethren and disciples of the Sage Monarch Society?"

"Yes ma'am!" the tens of thousands of disciples chorused. "Sage Monarch invincible! Sage Monarch invincible! Bring about punishment! Bring about punishment!"

As the disciples shouted in unison, they released their auras, revealing that all of them were peak Greater Gods! The only exceptions were those that pulsed with the aura of Consummate Gods!

In the House of God Ordainment, there were about a hundred thousand Greater Gods, and most were prime elders, not disciples. Because of that, most such gods weren't members of the various factions. After all, it would be hard to maintain balance among the factions if that happened.

Even the Mystery Society didn't have ten thousand Greater Gods as members.

But here the Sage Monarch Society had a full fifty thousand Greater Gods, something the likes of which the House of God Ordainment had never been seen before. For unimportant people to achieve such monumental progress in such a short time was shocking. What level of resources had been put into this?

Everyone was so stunned by the development that silence reigned.

After a long moment passed, a new chief elder appeared, eyes blazing as he glared at the Sage Monarch Society and shouted, "What do you people think you're doing? This is rebellion!"

The mere surge of his aura caused all the sound in the area to die down. The Perfect Gods had arrived!

Jadefall's eyes flickered as she looked at this chief elder, whose name was Tian Bubai. He was a very powerful man, and a staunch supporter of the junior houselord. He was so strong that not even fifty thousand Greater Gods working together would be able to best him in combat.

"I knew the Sage Monarch Society was arrogant, but how could I have guessed that it would reach a state like this in such a short time? Very peculiar." Tian Bubai chuckled coldly. "So this little force is what you're relying on? Fifty thousand Greater God disciples? How exactly did they achieve their breakthroughs? You can tell us, Jadefall. You're a member of this sect, so if you have a way to achieve breakthroughs faster than normal, you should hand it over to the sect. We need contributions like that. As for your subordinate Yang Memory, she struck the Punishment Bell without authorization, but we can let that slide. The caveat is that you have three years to ensure a hundred thousand sect disciples become Greater Gods. And you have to disband the Sage Monarch Society."

The other chief elders started weighing in.

"That's right. Hand over all the resources of the Sage Monarch Society. Besides, what good does it do for you to have so many Greater Gods? We chief elders could crush them with ease. The difference between Perfect Gods and Greater Gods is so immense you can hardly calculate it."

"Thankfully, we chief elders are all here today, so we can agree on the matter of disbanding the Sage Monarch Society."

"Exactly. The Sage Monarch Society is way out of line here. They're making too many deals with outsiders, and have even been stealing sect resources. If things keep going on like this, the sect will fall apart. Where's the houselord? Houselord, come grace us with your presence, and help us crush the Sage Monarch Society out of existence!"

If enough of a scene developed, the chief elders and elder kings would all show up. The only higher level of leadership was the houselord, and if he showed up, it would be an easy thing to disband the Sage Monarch Society.

"What's this commotion all about?"

An immense will weighed down as two figures descended from above.

It was the houselord and the junior houselord, and their expressions were grave as they glared at Jadefall and the disciples of the Sage Monarch Society.

The faction leaders present joined their voices in greeting, along with the various elders and important people present.

"Our respects, Houselord, Junior Houselord!"

In contrast, the members of the Sage Monarch Society didn't say a thing, but were in fact ignoring the houselord and junior houselord.

The disciples were completely loyal to their own leader, and couldn't care less about the leaders of the sect at large. In fact, if their leader told them to kill the houselord, they would follow through on the orders without a second thought.

"What incredible gall!" Tian Bubai said furiously. "You people from the Sage Monarch Society are real rebels aren't you? I can't believe you even refuse to greet the houselord!"

The houselord snorted coldly, and everyone could sense his anger. After all, it was a sect rule that everyone had to offer him greetings, so the Sage Monarch Society's refusal to comply went to indicate that they were attempting to seize power.

All of a sudden, Jadefall said something completely shocking to Tian Bubai. "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you lob accusations at me? Until it's your turn to speak, kindly fuck off!"

RUMBLE!

Unexpectedly, she launched an attack!

She was a peak Perfect God, and also had a Battle Armlet filled with the power of countless holy beasts. Even an Unbounded expert would need two or three moves to get that level of power in check, much less someone like Tian Bubai.

"God Tombstone Palms!"

She launched a consummate technique from the Great Necropolis, which was inferior only to the Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth. Instantly, a huge tombstone appeared, inscribed with names of buried gods. Its aura contained the grieving and wailing of divine beings, and it made everything seem like a graveyard as it rumbled toward Tian Bubai.

"How dare you attack me, you animal!" Although Tian Bubai had been caught off-guard, his energy arts were extremely profound, so he reacted in the blink of an eye. Shoving his hands out in front of him, he said, "Nine Heavens God Incantation!"

Nine enormous hands shot out to meet the incoming tombstone.

However, the God Tombstone Palms were so powerful that Tian Bubai was thrown backward and slammed into the wall, blood spraying out of his mouth, his bones, sea of energy, and every other part of him devastated and thrown into chaos.

As countless shocked gazes locked onto her, Jadefall said, "How dare scum like you jabber in my presence. Incidentally, if you want to commit suicide, this isn't the best way. Mention disbanding the Sage Monarch Society again, and I'll cripple you. Henceforth, anyone who crosses us will be killed."

1. Tian Bubai: Tian is a common surname which also means "field". Bubai means "undefeatable".

Chapter 1334: Completely Arrogan

Tian Bubai was a peak Perfect God, yet Jadefall's God Tombstone Palms had defeated him in a single move. Now he lay prone, gobs of blood oozing out of his mouth. He wasn't angry, just confused. It was clear he'd been struck senseless, and had no idea where he was or who hit him.

A peak Perfect God with peak Paramount will was the type of person who generally dominated everyone around them. So how could one be beaten silly?

Of course, the reason was that Jadefall was incredibly domineering.

Her Battle Armlet didn't actually contain five hundred and sixty thousand peak Greater God holy beasts. It contained three million six hundred thousand! And it had a thousand Consummate God-level holy beasts as well. That, combined with the God Tombstone Palms, ensured that she could break the defenses of the surrounding god kingdom with a single move. How could a measly Tian Bubai do anything against strength like that?

The chief elders and children of primeval chaos were all stunned, as were the countless other disciples present. Who could ever have guessed that Jadefall would be this ferocious? Not only did she dare to make a move against Tian Bubai, but she defeated him soundly. In fact, it was still questionable whether he would survive, as he was simply laying there grinning like an idiot.

Meanwhile, veins bulged on the houselord's forehead as he smiled with rage. However, he managed to keep himself under control. Obviously, the fact that Jadefall had defeated Tian Bubai so easily meant that she was beyond his own level.

He had survived countless dramatic situations to become the houselord, so although it was shocking that the Sage Monarch Society had changed, seemingly overnight, from an ant-like faction to a major player, he still kept his cool.

"This is the House of God Ordainment, and you're a disciple of the sect," he said. "Despite that, you dared to strike one of the chief elders with a vicious move. What exactly are you planning to do here? Are you rebelling?"

Jadefall simply smiled back at him. She could tell that the houselord wasn't a match for her; therefore, she didn't find anything he said threatening.

"Houselord, this chief elder attacked me first," she said casually, as if she were discussing a very trivial matter. "I'm a child of primeval chaos, someone who could serve as the houselord in the future. In the coming tricentennial election, I could very well win. What. If someone tries to kill me, I'm just supposed to stand there and let it happen? Not likely. It just so happens that I'm strong enough to defend myself, so the chief elder got hurt. In the end, he deserved it! Whether in the House of God Ordainment or other sects, strength comes first. If you're not strong enough, you'd better not act arrogant in my presence. Don't you agree, Houselord?"

Everyone could read between the lines. She was saying that she was stronger than the houselord, and actually challenging his authority. It was completely unprecedented. In all of the history of the House of God Ordainment, never had a child of primeval chaos brazenly challenged the houselord like this.

"This is preposterous!" the junior houselord blurted. "Completely preposterous!" He had been pushed too far recently. The Sage Monarch Consortium had been growing and growing, damaging his own business and profits. How could he ever have predicted that the Sage Monarch Society would expand so rapidly? "Don't you know how to respect your elders, Jadefall?!"

"Respect my elders?" Jadefall said. "If I didn't, I wouldn't be standing around talking. Didn't you see what happened to Tian Bubai?"

Again, her meaning couldn't have been clearer. It was because she was showing respect to her elders that she wasn't slamming the houselord into the ground like she had Tian Bubai. Although she didn't spell it out in plain words, the meaning was obvious.

The chief elders who backed the houselord and junior houselord were virtually fuming with rage, and some of them were even developing heart-devils.

In fact, many of them started shouting out rebukes.

"What gall! What outrageous gall!"

"This is over the line, Jadefall. I can't believe you would speak to the houselord that way. I suggest we sanction the Sage Monarch Society and declare them an evil faction!"

"Sanction the Sage Monarch Society! Sanction them!"

Other faction leaders also started denouncing Jadefall and the Sage Monarch Society. They knew that if they didn't put the Sage Monarch Society in check today, it would lead to no end of trouble. After all, if they dared to defy the houselord like this now, what would they do in the future?

The scene quickly devolved into an uproar.

Some people were shouting to sanction the Sage Monarch Society, while others were saying they should be expelled or executed.

At a certain point, the houselord waved his hands to silence the crowd.

It was as if his powerful air as a leader caused the entire god kingdom to go silent.

"Jadefall, what sort of good fortune did you come across? Why not just tell me directly? Do you really think that because you're a peak Perfect God with peak Paramount will, you can defy the House of God Ordainment?"

Apparently, the houselord had made a decision about how he wanted to handle the situation, otherwise he wouldn't have been speaking so calmly.

"I haven't said a single thing about rebelling against the House of God Ordainment. I'm just talking about its leadership." Jadefall was looking at the houselord as if he were a clown. It seemed that she wasn't the least bit afraid, not even of whatever secret reserve powers might be in play.

The houselord laughed. "You've got a lot of guts to talk about the leadership of the sect. Do you really think that, with your cultivation base, you qualify to lead the House of God Ordainment? As you just heard, all of the disciples and chief elders want the Sage Monarch Society sanctioned. Exactly how many members do you have? You only make up about one percent of our members. So if everyone else wants you sanctioned, what exactly are you going to do about it?"

"What am I going to do about it? Simple. Kill everyone who opposes us." She wasn't making any attempt to hide the fact that she was making an open threat.

Things were going according to plan. The time had come to seize power, even if that meant holding back from occupying the position of houselord. And if the houselord couldn't do anything to the Sage Monarch Society, it meant that nobody could, and they were free to do whatever they wanted in the sect.

"You'll kill everyone who opposes you?" The houselord laughed angrily. "Am I supposed to be scared? You people have hardly been in our sect for ten years, yet have made progress like this? My guess is that you're Ascendants. Well, are you? Did you come here from the lower worlds?"

"That's right," Jadefall said, "we're Ascendants. With us here, the House of God Ordainment is heading into a new golden age. Houselord, you really shouldn't make such a big fuss over something so trivial. We haven't done anything to harm the interests of the sect. And all we want right now is to punish Wang Xiantian according to the sect rules."

"Punish Wang Xiantian?" the houselord said. "What if I don't agree to that?"

"You'll agree whether you want to or not," Jadefall replied. "Do you really think you can fight the Sage Monarch Society by ganging up on us? Wang Xiantian, why don't you explain to them how many members the Sage Monarch Society has?"

"Houselord!" Wang Xiantian shrieked. "You absolutely, positively must not underestimate the Sage Monarch Society. They've been training armies in secret! When Yang Memory captured me, she used an army of five hundred and sixty thousand peak Greater Gods! And the army had a hundred peak Consummate God generals! That's how she beat me so easily. And she said that all the key figures in the Sage Monarch Society have armies like that. Killing them isn't going to be easy!"

He shouted the words at the top of his lungs, causing all eyes to lock on to Yang Memory.

"What? An army of five hundred and sixty thousand peak Greater Gods?" The junior houselord simply couldn't believe it. "Impossible. We don't even have that many Greater Gods in the House of God Ordainment! And every one of them has an army like that? There's no way! Do you think the Sage Monarch Society is the Eternal-Life God-Dynasty or something?"

The houselord was staring at Jadefall, and eventually his eyes landed on her bracelet. "That has an immense aura of battle. What kind of treasure is it? Do you have it packed with thralls? I'm very curious to see how many thralls the Sage Monarch Society has on hand."

Jadefall smiled faintly. "You want to see? Fine. Brothers of the Sage Monarch Society, produce your Battle Armlets. Let's fill this god kingdom with our armies and let them see exactly how many troops we have."

"Yes ma'am!"

RUMBLE!

The key members of the Sage Monarch Society who were present produced their Battle Armlets and activated them. Instantly, the god kingdom transformed into a huge battlefield, pulsing with an energy of battle.

Other than Yang Qi's closest friends and family, the other key members of the Sage Monarch Society consisted of people like Zhang Jufang, Elder Sister Xue, Bai Yin, Goddess Jade Egret, Exalted Celestial Silver-Dagger, the White-Haired Boxer King, and Crimson-Maiden Inferno, as well as the former Masters and brethren of all the various members.

They were people who would never betray the society, even if threatened with death. Furthermore, all of their cultivation bases were in the Consummate God level. Yang Qi had given all of them Battle Armlets, as well as plenty of godstones to power them.

Therefore, when everyone joined forces and summoned a battlefield, the armies it contained numbered over ten million peak Greater God soldiers and three thousand peak Consummate God generals.

Roar!

The army unleashed a terrifying battle cry.

"Sage Monarch invincible! Submit to us and prosper, or oppose us and perish!"

Their psychic fluctuations were so powerful that cracks started spreading out in the House of God Ordainment's god kingdom.

Meanwhile, the houselord's eyes went wide in utter disbelief.
