[Deep Red Value: 90118]

Reaching the 19th layer of the True Pure Yang Skill undoubtedly took Yi Chen's strength to a new level.

In this moment, he felt his power had become formidable to a nearly inconceivable degree; if he were to encounter the likes of the Snake Witch with a malicious heart again, he could easily slay her without resorting to the Soul Ignition Technique.

"Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!"

"With such mighty power, I dare to face anyone below the seventh layer of Dao Mastery!"

"Even if a cultivator of the seventh level of Dao Mastery ambushed me, they most likely wouldn't be able to hold me back."

Inside the carriage, a strong sense of confidence surfaced on Yi Chen's face.

That was the assurance brought to him by successfully developing the 19th generation Pure Yang technological reactor, leveraging the true meaning of "True Pure Yang Skill."

There was no need to mention the growth in his lifespan; among the four-dimensional attributes, his strength attribute had broken through for the sixth time, granting him a new ability, Shadow Manifestation.

Any enemy injured by him would be unable to hide in his presence.

Though this ability seemed somewhat weak, in certain special environments, it could provide substantial aid, and Yi Chen was quite satisfied with it.

Besides that, the abilities of Pure Yang Flame Prison and Mirror Body also pleasantly surprised him.

Especially Pure Yang Flame Prison—if he had had this ability, wouldn't the previous Xue Lingzi not had to be wasted?

Even with Yi Chen's astonishing intellect, the derivation of extreme moves had become increasingly slow. Now, with Pure Yang Flame Prison, he could use the prison's power to make his enemies aid in his practice.

Turning them into 'meat chickens' would certainly speed up his derivation of extreme moves.

Now, more than ever, Yi Chen felt that his previous predictions about Deep Red weren't wrong; its derivation was not without basis and must be related to his own cognition.

It's a pity there was no one along the way exclaiming "Fellow Daoist, please wait," otherwise he would definitely have relished testing the quality of Pure Yang Flame Prison.

"Alas, I promised master to tread the path of benevolence and not to question the journey ahead, constricting my display of power."

"However, there's no hurry. Those who are not of my tribe will surely have different hearts. Now that the membrane power of the five realms is weakening, alien races will inevitably invade the Human Realm in the future. When that happens, and the common people face imminent danger, I can casually enslave some alien souls. Master won't find fault with that, right?"

"Also, those aberrant abilities similar to the Snake Witch's are excellent resources. After severely wounding them and enslaving them within the Pure Yang Flame Prison, they could first help me to derive extreme moves. Then, after I've drained their spirit's strength, they would offer a batch of Deep Red Points posthumously. Such benevolent people move me to tears. The former me was truly wasteful."

The more he thought about it, the more Yi Chen felt this was an excellent opportunity, lamenting that he hadn't come across Pure Yang Flame Prison sooner.

Harvesting such chives without wasting a shred, how marvelous!

Furthermore, there was the Mirror Body he had summoned from within the Pure Yang heavens, which Yi Chen also valued greatly.

After leaving Bear Cave, he stealthily found a secluded place to test it. Although its strength was only 70% of his own, not including an overloaded spirit state, such a fearless combatant was still a rare find.

According to Yi Chen's estimate, the phantom body he summoned had the might of a third-level Dao Mastery.

Yi Chen often felt distressed that his companions, like Miao Zi, couldn't keep up with his rapid advancement.

When slightly capable enemies provoked him, he had to personally deal with them, which didn't leave much room for style.

Now, the next time someone wished to challenge him, he could summon his phantom body and lean back on the Golden Throne while laughing at the unfolding dramas.

Besides, even when facing a particularly tricky opponent, the phantom body's strength could help him engage in a righteous one-on-one duel!

For dirty work, tough tasks, and braving dangers, the phantom body is very adept.

Such a utilitarian character is hard to find even with a lantern, and although it's a bit irksome to look exactly like me, does that mean I can't reap my own chives?

What's useful must be exploited ruthlessly and treated with equality!

"Heh! Heh! Heh!"

"Good! Good, good indeed!"

"If I encounter such situations, I shall proceed like this, and then like that, and once more like that, how could grand deeds not be accomplished!"

Listening to the strange laughter coming from inside the carriage, even Pipi Bao couldn't help but feel a chill creeping up its spine and shooting right into its head. At that moment, the thought imprint of loyalty in its mind seemed to flash more intensely.

Loyalty!

As long as it remained loyal, it believed its master would not treat it poorly. When it followed its previous master, when had it ever dined at the table?

But following the Daoist Master, it could!

...

Time is like a sprinting Pipi Bao, once it starts running, it never stops.

Ten days later, the gateway to the former Jianxie Sect's mountain, Kunxu Mountain, was already in sight.

Of course, with a new ruler comes new officials, and now Kunxu Mountain bore the likeness of the Hidden Dragon Alliance.

Gazing at the towering mountain in front of him, Yi Chen couldn't help feeling a myriad of emotions. These were the territories he had conquered.

He remembered the days when he battled the Wusheng Sword Mother in this place, and how he was later ambushed by Ling Xudu and others. Now, thinking back, it seemed like nothing more than a few trials of wind and frost.

The two who plotted against him that day were both dead.

Ling Xudu was no different.

It happened during the Great Qin Legal Assembly. Through the precious mirror offered by Xue Lingzi, Ling Xudu watched as Yi Chen brutally smashed his own senior brother into pieces, the container holding the brain matter eventually exploding, scattering the contents all over the ground.

That was the final scene Yi Chen saw in the precious mirror.

It was enough to make one sigh deeply.

"Eh, you dare to call yourself a grand strategist, yet you do not understand destiny, nor do you recognize me, Dao Zhen. You got what you deserved!"

Amidst his sighs, Yi Chen had already dismounted from the carriage and stepped out.

At the foot of Kunxu Mountain, cultivators were already waiting, looking forward with anticipation.

Yi Chen was slightly astonished by the crowd. He hadn't announced his arrival today, and when he communicated with Qin Yun earlier, he had only given a rough timeframe.

"We welcome the Alliance Hierarch's return!"

"Alliance Hierarch's divine might has captured the first place at the Great Qin Legal Assembly. It has truly boosted the prestige of our Hidden Dragon Alliance! It's regretful that we, preoccupied with mundane affairs, missed the chance to witness the Alliance Hierarch's heroic bearing!"

"Indeed, indeed, Xue Lingzi did not understand destiny, hence his current plight!"

"Alliance Hierarch, you've been working hard on your journey. Please come up the mountain to rest and rid yourself of the dust of travel!"

Countless smiling faces met Yi Chen's eyes, with the strikingly graceful Sect Master Qinyun at the forefront, accompanied by the strikingly beautiful Zhen Ruan.

"You have all worked hard, my fellow Daoists. Tonight, you should drink a few more cups." Yi Chen also responded with a smile.

Amidst the crowd escorting him, they all ascended the mountain together.

Kunxu Mountain was now all lit up and festooned with decorations, bustling with extraordinary excitement.

A feast.

Amidst the clinking of cups and laughter, Yi Chen also understood from the conversations why so many people had coincidentally been waiting at the foot of the mountain.

Turns out, they had been waiting there for nearly half a month.

Even the alliance's mundane affairs were temporarily conducted in a hastily built great hall at the foot of the mountain.

In that moment, Yi Chen once again realized the weight of a Dao Mastery cultivator, especially in a barren and weakened place like the Northern Region. Now, he was the god of the Northern Region!

His word was law, and none dared to disobey!

"Everyone, work hard, Dao Zhen never mistreats those who have made contributions!"

Yi Chen raised his cup, took a light sip, and immediately the flattery flowed like a tide, with everyone drinking to the full and turning their cups upside down as a sign that they had left no drop.

"My friends, I intend to acquire artifacts of sinister nature to refine a treasure. Does anyone have a good plan?" As the wine flowed, Yi Chen suddenly asked, causing everyone to fall silent.

Finally, one of the cultivators with the highest cultivation level tried to answer, "Alliance Hierarch, before your return, we had already scoured the northern lands. Many artifacts of sinister nature have been handed over to Sect Master Qinyun. If we want more, we might need to dispatch merchant caravans to the Southern Region to purchase them. That region has a higher abundance of such items, but it is dominated by many major demonic sects."

"For instance, the Red Dust Demonic Sect controls a strategic pass. Our Hidden Dragon Alliance had contacted them in the past. However, they made exorbitant demands and did not want our alliance to enter. They only want us to buy from them at a higher price."

"Who are you?"

"Alliance Hierarch, I am Qian Jingzi. My sect is situated on the border of the Northern Region, not far from the Red Dust Demonic Sect. I dare not neglect the matters entrusted by the Alliance Hierarch, so I have made contact with them and know a bit more."

"Qian Jingzi? You've done well, showing courage in your duties. Dao Zhen will remember you. This matter will be left to you to negotiate with the Red Dust Demonic Sect."

"Tell them, they either step aside, or Dao Zhen will come over!"

Now Yi Chen had yet another reason to gather Deep Red Points—his Pure Yang Flame Prison was already ravenous!
