Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 684 - 683: Blood Qi Tower!
Nantian Dynasty, within the imperial palace.
The one-eyed, one-armed Long Sihai stood expressionless to one side while the current most powerful being in the Nantian Dynasty sat on the dragon throne before him.
The Emperor of the Nantian Dynasty—Nantian Wen.
Nantian Wen squinted as he reviewed the memorials, but without lifting his head, he said indifferently, "So, this means... Xiao Yi has slain Master Chen Yi with the peak power of the Dharma Phase Realm, and his strength has increased several times more than when he fought you, has it not?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Long Sihai responded in a deep voice.
His own cultivation had reached the Fifth Layer Human Venerable, and in his previous fight with Xiao Yi, he had judged him to be comparable to the top five of the Heavenly Dragon Ranking.
But now...
Xiao Yi had slain Master Chen Yi, and naturally, his combat prowess needed to be reassessed.
Nantian Wen slowly lifted his gaze, a sharp gleam flashing through his eyes, "The peak of the Dharma Phase Realm, yet capable of slaying the First-layer Human Venerable. Such talent not belonging to our Nantian Dynasty is truly a pity."
Long Sihai didn't speak.
The man before him was not only the ruler of the Nantian Dynasty but also the most domineering and powerful emperor in the history of the dynasty.
This was also the only existence that dared to confront the Nantian Holy Land.
Before Nantian Wen, all the geniuses of the Nantian Dynasty were recruited by the Nantian Holy Land, but now there was also the Nantian Holy Institute.
This Nantian Holy Institute was personally established by Nantian Wen.
He even assumed the position of the dean.
No one knew the true extent of Nantian Wen's strength, but Long Sihai had witnessed Nantian Wen single-handedly suppress a venerable Human Venerable-class expert of the Nantian Holy Land. It was precisely because of this that the Nantian Holy Land turned a blind eye, allowing the existence of the Nantian Holy Institute. Otherwise, with the domineering nature of the Nantian Holy Land, it would be impossible for the Nantian Dynasty to establish the Nantian Holy Institute.
It was because of this.
Long Sihai, the Chief Inspector, was exceedingly respectful when facing Nantian Wen.
And also exceedingly loyal.
Nantian Wen put down the memorial in his hand, his eyes squinting as if a slumbering dragon was quietly opening its eyes. He didn't continue to inquire about Xiao Yi but instead asked, "I remember that the so-called Daqian Dynasty will hold its founding ceremony in five days, won't it?"
"Yes!"
Long Sihai nodded.
Nantian Wen leaned back, his profound eyes reflecting the dragon and auspicious cloud patterns on the ceiling, and said faintly, "Let Shen Qianyi take a trip."
"Your Majesty means..." Long Sihai tentatively asked.
Shen Qianyi.
He was the first person on the Heavenly Dragon Ranking!
Nine Nirvana Rebirth Realm, but with the terrifying track record of grievously wounding a First-layer Human Venerable super-genius.
Nantian Wen said, "Let him take an Eighth-layer demon beast over there, consider it a founding congratulatory gift for the Daqian Dynasty..."
Long Sihai's gaze shifted, and he did not immediately question further. Knowing Nantian Wen well, he was certain there was a follow-up.
Sure enough...
Nantian Wen fell silent momentarily, then said in a low voice, "Isn't everyone now saying that Xiao Yi is the number one person under Longevity? Surely our young friend Shen Qianyi must be feeling very complicated, right? Young people are impulsive... don't you agree?"
Long Sihai's eyes lit up.
He immediately understood Nantian Wen's intention.
Currently, they were unclear about Xiao Yi's relationship with Baiyu. Moreover, considering the strained relationship between Nantian Wen and the Nantian Holy Land, the Holy Land would not assist them in inquiring about Baiyu's intentions. They were also unsure of Baiyu's stance. If the Nantian Dynasty made a move, the risk would be too great!
But if Shen Qianyi took action, it would be a fight among peers.
Even if Baiyu intervened afterward...
They could simply respond with the excuse that the youth were impulsive, and Shen Qianyi could not bear losing, thus challenging Xiao Yi.
However, if Shen Qianyi were to kill or grievously wound Xiao Yi and Baiyu remained indifferent...
It would certainly clarify Baiyu's attitude.
They could then proceed with the next step.
A thought struck him.
Long Sihai spoke in a deep voice, "Your subordinate understands!"
"Go!"
As Nantian Wen waved his hand and waited for Long Sihai to leave, he straightened up in his seat and raised his hand to rub his eyebrows. The brush in his hand gently traced the characters for 'sacred land,' and staring at them for a moment, he muttered, "Baiyu? Nantian Sacred Land? You lofty sacred lands..."
Following Nantian Wen as he stood up to leave,
the characters for 'sacred land' on the desk, like withering flowers, fell apart.
...
Great Qian Dynasty.
Outside the Imperial City, on Imperial Dragon Mountain.
The moment Xiao Yi returned to Xiaoshanhe Institute, he retrieved Master Chen Yi's corpse and removed his storage ring.
After searching through it,
he found many precious Spiritual Medicines inside; just the Eighth-grade Spiritual Medicines alone were more than thirty in number, plus a good amount of valuable elixirs, and more than a hundred billion pieces of silver, causing Xiao Yi to sigh in admiration, "As expected of one of the three great Eightfold Alchemists from Medicine King Valley, just the wealth within this storage ring exceeds five hundred billion pieces of silver..."
He collected all of these items.
Touching his chin while looking at the corpse of Master Chen Yi, Xiao Yi mused, "It would be a waste to let such powerful energy go unused. I'll transform it into a Blood Qi Tower, so that Ye Heng and the rest can cultivate inside it. Once the energy within this corpse is fully depleted, Ye Heng should be able to reach the peak of the Tao Tribulation Realm, or even break through to the Dharma Manifestation Realm..."
The energy contained within a Longevity Secret Realm expert was simply too terrifying!
Ye Heng's cultivation had reached the Eighth Layer of the Golden Core Realm, while Jin Feiyan was at the Fifth Layer of the Golden Core Realm. Contrarily, Ruan Yunyi, coming from behind, now had a cultivation at the Sixth Layer of the Golden Core Realm.
Besides them,
there were many disciples within Xiaoshanhe Institute who had also reached the Tao Tribulation Realm.
Xiao Yi selected two hundred Golden Core Realm practitioners, fifty Tao Tribulation Realm practitioners, and ten Dharma Manifestation Realm powerhouses. He then instructed the Shadow Demon to gather all these people together.
He himself took on the task of constructing the Blood Qi Tower.
After all, he was using the corpse of a Longevity Secret Realm expert to create the Blood Qi Tower, and he didn't want to leak this news. It was more convenient to handle these matters himself. With his abilities, in just an hour, he constructed the Blood Qi Tower and buried Master Chen Yi's corpse beneath it, setting up multiple layers of Formations.
He even buried the Xuan Character Longevity Cauldron within it.
With its aid...
the speed at which Master Chen Yi's internal energy could be refined was significantly increased.
Then, one by one, Ye Heng and the others entered the Blood Qi Tower and began what could only be described as a terrifyingly intense cultivation frenzy...
Of course,
even with the Array and the Longevity Cauldron's assistance, refining all the energy inside Master Chen Yi would take at least a year and a half. Clearly, they would miss the Great Qian Dynasty's founding ceremony. Xiao Yi sealed the Blood Qi Tower and, just as he returned to his residence, the Shadow Demon informed him that Yang Ling was already waiting outside to see him.
Xiao Yi certainly knew the purpose of Yang Ling's visit.
It was nothing other than for the founding ceremony.
He summoned Yang Ling in.
Upon meeting,
Yang Ling immediately smiled and said, "Congratulations to Xiao Zhenguo, for becoming the foremost person under the Immortals in Southern State!"
Xiao Yi rolled his eyes.
He naturally had heard the news from the Nantian Dynasty; helplessly, he asked, "Apart from this, is there anything else?"
Yang Ling chuckled and took out a Storage Ring, grinning as he said, "The old ancestor personally traveled through the Daqian Dynasty and found a thousand Fire Attribute Spirit Veins, asking me to hand them over to you!"
"A thousand Fire Attribute Spirit Veins?"
Xiao Yi's eyes lit up; with a thousand Fire Attribute Spirit Veins in hand, he could completely refine another drop of Longevity Spirit. Coupled with the fact that Bai Fa Sword Emperor was a Fire Attribute powerhouse, with his strength progressing to the Longevity Secret Realm, his combat prowess would certainly be above Yang Zun's. Xiao Yi's lips curled upwards as he said, "Yang Ling, hand over the items to me, and you should hurry and call for Bai Fa Sword Emperor!"

"Yes!"
Yang Ling respectfully withdrew.
"In five days, the founding ceremony will take place..."
Xiao Yi squinted his eyes and toyed with the Storage Ring in his hand, murmuring to himself, "It seems that when the Great Qian Dynasty is founded, there will be two Longevity Secret Realm powerhouses in place. I wonder, what will the mood be like for those people from the Nantian Dynasty when they hear this news?"
