Yun Zhiqiu was impressed by Yang Qing's bold words, but she didn't know what else to say. From a woman's standpoint, she didn't like it. She only wanted to ask, how could Qin Xi endure Yang Qing's actions? Although it was normal for men to have many wives and concubines in this world, Yang Qing disregarded Qin Xi's existence and confidently claimed Su Yun for himself. His self-satisfied actions still displeased her.
If Miao Yi dared to do such a thing, she, Yun Zhiqiu, would definitely fight him to the death. Yes! It was true that he had many wives and concubines in his residence, but that was due to another reason. She accepted it when it came to the ways of the world, but if Miao Yi dared to publicly act like this with Yang Qing, she would never accept it!
This was indeed the way of the world. In Miao Yi's opinion, Yang Qing's actions were nothing. Relatively speaking, Yang Qing was more self-disciplined when it came to men and women, so he just treated it as a joke. Furthermore, he had no intention of letting Yang Qing return to Purgatory for the time being. The troops of Purgatory had already been reorganized through Yang Qing's hands. Miao Yi didn't want Yang Qing to continue controlling them, lest he became too powerful.
To put it bluntly, he didn't want Yang Qing to have control of the Purgatory troops fall into Yang Qing's hands. Before returning from Purgatory, he had a discussion with the higher-ups of the Six Realms regarding this matter. They decided to divide the power of Purgatory, and participating in Yun Ruoshuang's wedding was only an opportunity. It was tantamount to taking away Yang Qing's authority in the Six Realms as well.
When he returned, he brought Qing Ju with him from Purgatory. He didn't mention anything about letting Yang Qing return, and Yang Qing himself didn't mention anything about returning to Purgatory.
Miao Yi didn't know whether Yang Qing had already realized this or not. He had been in charge of the affairs of Purgatory for so many years, but ever since Miao Yi returned from Purgatory, Yang Qing hadn't even mentioned a single word about it. He didn't even ask about it, as though the affairs of Purgatory had nothing to do with him at all. He looked like he was passionate about conquering Su Yun, and focused all his energy on romance.
Miao Yi didn't care if Yang Qing knew or what he thought, but he was very happy with Yang Qing's cooperative attitude. As long as Yang Qing cooperated, everything would be fine. Not to mention one Su Yun, as long as Miao Yi was capable, even if there were thousands of Su Yuns, as long as Yang Qing wanted them, he would give them to him!
Miao Yi didn't feel as disgusted as Yun Zhiqiu. He simply smiled and reminded, "Even though a beauty is nice, it's best if Mister doesn't interfere with our business!"
"Yes!" Yang Qing cupped his fists.
In the Desolate Wastelands, at the entrance of the Void that was constantly being torn apart, Miao Yi landed on the ground. After observing his surroundings for a while, he waved his hand and released Charcoal.
Since he had come here to cultivate, he naturally had to bring Charcoal back with him to cultivate. Charcoal could now fly here and could even serve as a leg support.
When he was back in, he, and Yi to say, he. to say, and he, he, he, he, Shan. Wang Shan, how he he he.
When he was in the Primordial Era, Charcoal always wanted to go out and have fun. When he was in the King's Manor, he often thought about coming back to visit the Phoenix Clan's Profound Maiden. Miao Yi was simply too strict with him on the outside. Now that Miao Yi was in that position, he had to set an example. He wouldn't allow his trusted aide to do as he pleased and cause any negative effects. What was the point of Charcoal staying in the King's Manor then?
Here, he could roam around and play to his heart's content. He had more freedom. What's more, he had the Empyrean Protector, the Phoenix Maiden.
After a moment of excitement, he saw Miao Yi suddenly jump up. Charcoal quickly rushed down, and with a lift of his head, he carried Miao Yi and flew towards the Eternal Heaven Valley...
In the blink of an eye, three thousand years had passed!
At the foot of the mountain by the lava lake in the Eternal Heaven Valley, the vast spiritual mist quickly converged. A boulder by the lava lake gradually appeared, revealing Miao Yi's true body as he sat cross-legged. The spiritual mist was quickly absorbed into Miao Yi's body, and on Miao Yi's forehead, a golden flame-patterned Dharma Idol suddenly shone brilliantly. It was so dazzling that it could be seen from dozens of li away. At the same time, a large area of transcendence energy fluctuations appeared around Miao Yi, but they were extremely unstable.
Miao Yi clapped his hands and formed hand seals, trying his best to suppress the surging transcendence energy in his body. He had to control it. He couldn't lose control!
Inside the Dragon Flame Pool on the mountain, the dragon-like flames suddenly transformed into a ferocious flaming dragon head. Its fiery eyes stared at the radiance outside the cave.
A few hours later, the radiance gradually receded. The chaotic transcendence energy fluctuation also gradually stabilized. The flaming dragon head suddenly collapsed, turning back into dragon-like flames.
Sitting cross-legged on a rock by the lake, Miao Yi slowly pressed his palms down from his chest to his Dantian. The speck of light between his brows had completely retracted, and the silhouette of the Golden Flame Avatar had completely materialized between his brows — a faint golden flame pattern!
Miao Yi abruptly opened his eyes, a brilliant gleam radiating from them. Circulating his transcendence energy, he abruptly spread his arms apart, and his entire body split into ten. Nine identical copies of Miao Yi shot out from his original body, landing at the foot of the mountain behind him. They stood in uneven positions, staring at Miao Yi's back as he sat cross-legged on the lakeside, and then at each other.
Miao Yi slowly exhaled, then closed his eyes again.
The other nine Miao Yi suddenly dashed off on their own, galloping around the towering mountain.
The original Miao Yi sat cross-legged and didn't move. He felt as if the ten of them were one person. It was truly a telepathic connection. Everything the ten of them saw and heard existed in everyone's perception. It was a very mysterious feeling.
Miao Yi gradually felt the drawback. The transcendence energy consumption of the doppelgangers couldn't be sustained. It was as if the doppelgangers were filled with energy and were slowly being depleted. There was no way to regenerate it, unless the doppelgangers also opened up the cultivation pathway and cultivated on their own. But Miao Yi didn't dare to try that. If he really did that, once the self-cultivation of the doppelgangers broke the balance, they would have their own independent consciousness. It was very likely that they would turn into another person, and wouldn't be able to become one again!
And if one person's transcendence energy was used by ten people at the same time, the consumption of transcendence energy would also be astonishing!
The nine doppelgangers reached the top of the mountain, then rushed down again. One by one, they rushed towards the figure sitting cross-legged by the lake, and merged into the main body.
Miao Yi slowly opened his eyes and revealed a smile. His cultivation had officially broken through to the Prominent Divinity realm …
Sky Palace, Starry Hall. Defeating Armies arrived and strode straight in. Aside from Lord Qing, Shangguan Qing and Sima Wentian were also inside the hall. Lord Qing wasn't in his seat. He was standing in the hall with the other two, and they seemed to be discussing something.
Defeating Armies stepped forward and bowed to Lord Qing, "Your Majesty!"
Lord Qing grunted in acknowledgement, then nodded to Sima Wentian and said, "Explain the situation to him."
Sima Wentian looked at Defeating Armies and coughed dryly. Defeating Armies coldly stared at him, not knowing what he was going to say.
Sima Wentian replied with a smile, "It's like this. Niu Youde has been plotting against us for a long time. The Left Division has been monitoring him under His Majesty's orders. We can now confirm that Niu Youde spends most of his time cultivating in the Primordial Wastelands."
Defeating Armies calmly said, "Do we still need to confirm it now? The Primordial Wastelands are suitable for Niu Youde's cultivation, and the entrance is heavily guarded as well. Even an idiot would know that Niu Youde often enters the Primordial Wastelands to cultivate. Is there a need to monitor him? "
With just a few words, Miao Yi had dismissed the Left Division's hard work as worthless. Lord Qing had a strange expression on his face.
Sima Wentian couldn't bring himself to smile after hearing Miao Yi say this in front of His Majesty. "You can't say that. If we don't monitor him, how would you know when he's in there and when he's not?"
He wasn't wrong. It wasn't like Miao Yi had been holed up in the Primordial Wastelands all these years. When there were matters outside that required his personal attention, he would have to come out as well. It was normal for him to travel back and forth.
Defeating Armies indifferently said, "Do I need to be concerned about this?"
"…" Sima Wentian was rendered speechless by Miao Yi's words. He hurriedly looked at Lord Qing, as though telling him that there was no way they could continue discussing the matter with him like this.
"Ahem!" Lord Qing tried to smooth things over and said, "Let's get back to business."
Sima Wentian nodded slightly, then continued to say to Defeating Armies, "Among the several divisions, even though Niu Youde is a rising star, he has the advantage of being the last to arrive. The Southern Army is more well-organized than the other divisions, and Niu Youde has always had a rebellious heart. In my opinion, we should find a good opportunity to get rid of him!"
'How could you have such thoughts?' It wasn't that Defeating Armies was looking down on Sima Wentian. He glanced at Lord Qing, who was silently stroking his beard. It didn't take a genius to guess that this was Lord Qing's intention. He asked, "Your Left Division is used to doing shady and secretive things. Do you think it's worth discussing it with me?"
Sima Wentian was a little angry. "Without the Left Division's shady and secretive activities, how could the Left Supervisory Guard be upright and upright?!"
"Enough!" Seeing that the two of them were about to start arguing, Lord Qing quickly calmed them down. "I'm not asking you to argue. I'm asking you to think of a way to get rid of him. Let's get back to business!"
Defeating Armies immediately asked Lord Qing, "Does Your Majesty intend to have the Imperial Guards assassinate the Southern Army's Commanding Heavenly King? Putting aside the fact that a failure would cause chaos throughout the lands, Niu Youde is also heavily guarded. It's practically impossible to assassinate him. "
Shangguan Qing smiled and continued, "That's why the Left Division has been eyeing the Ancient Desolate Wasteland. Niu Youde definitely has a large number of guards protecting him in the outside world. However, the Ancient Desolate Wasteland is different. It's not suitable for an army to stay there for long periods of time. That's why it's impossible for Niu Youde to have a large number of troops stationed there. This is a good opportunity to strike!"
Defeating Armies replied, "It's a good opportunity, but the entrance to the Ancient Desolate Wasteland is heavily guarded by Niu Youde's army. Since it concerns Niu Youde's safety, the checks will definitely be very strict. How will the Imperial Guards be able to sneak in?"
Shangguan Qing nodded. "That's why the Left Division has spent a lot of effort over the years. Some of the troops stationed at the entrance to the Ancient Desolate Wasteland have already been bribed by the Left Division. As long as we find a suitable opportunity, we can send the Imperial Guards' assassins in."
Defeating Armies fell silent. He frowned and said, "It's not suitable for Niu Youde's army to stay in there for long periods of time. It's the same for the Imperial Guards. If Niu Youde comes out and doesn't go in for a long period of time, wouldn't the troops that were sent in be trapped there? Wouldn't that be suicide?"
Sima Wentian continued, "You're overthinking it. The spies that we've planted over the years have been paying close attention to this matter. They've already figured out Niu Youde's pattern of entering and exiting the wasteland. Combining it with other sources of information, we can conclude that Niu Youde has spent most of his time on cultivation. After he comes out, he'll return to the Ancient Desolate Wasteland as soon as possible. He won't stay outside for too long."
