Everyone: Summoners are weak? One gold entry at level 1

Chapter 860 Yuqing apologizes and offers compensation

At the deepest part of the Primordial Chaos Cave, the "Guangcheng Xuanque," which had been sealed for ten thousand years, suddenly burst open.

A Taiyi pressure, far more ancient and heavier than that of Feng Yi and Ji Yang, slowly awakened and spread out like an ancient star core that had been dormant for billions of years.

The oppressive aura caused all the strife, roars, and despair within the cave to freeze.

A figure dressed in a simple gray robe, with snow-white hair and a handsome face like that of a young man, slowly walked out.

Between the opening and closing of his eyes, it seemed as if the scene of the beginning of heaven and earth and the separation of yin and yang flowed, which was none other than Yin Jiao, the ancient Yi Realm ancestor of the Guangcheng lineage who lived in seclusion and had an extremely high seniority.

His gaze calmly swept over the chaotic scene of the cave, where everyone was injured, over the war-loving elders whose faces were filled with fear and resentment, and who were ready to fight like cornered beasts, and finally landed on the ashen-faced and exhausted Zixiao Daoist and the others.

"enough."

Yin Jiao's voice was not loud, but it carried an irresistible authority, clearly suppressing all the noise.

"The inheritance of the Daoist tradition is of paramount importance. Today's outcome is the result of yesterday's cause. If the war continues, the Yuqing dynasty's ten-thousand-year foundation will surely be lost."

An elder of the Taiyi lineage roared in defiance, "Ancestor! How can we submit so easily! We are still capable!"

Yin Jiao turned his gaze slightly and looked at the elder.

The latter was struck as if by a heavy blow, his body trembled violently, and he swallowed back the words he was about to say, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"You all know the truth of right and wrong. Your burning greed has provoked powerful enemies and jeopardized our lineage. Your sins are immeasurable." Yin Jiao's tone was indifferent, yet every word was like a knife, cutting into the hearts of the pro-war faction.

He slowly raised his hand and made a grabbing motion in the air.

Several chains of laws formed from the yin and yang energies appeared out of thin air, like ancient spirit snakes with life, instantly binding the pale-faced Daoist Zixiao, Yu Jianzi, and two other high-ranking Golden Immortals who were involved in the core decision-making.

The chains sealed them off, instantly sealing away all their cultivation and magical power, making them like ordinary mortals.

"Ancestor!" Daoist Zixiao was horrified and tried to struggle, but to no avail.

Yin Jiao didn't even look at them, his gaze fixed on the outside of the cave, as if he could penetrate endless space and see Shen Fei and the imperial army besieging the city.

"Prepare the gifts and open the Heavenly Gate. I will personally go to Fuxi City to apologize."

Fuxi City, the main hall of the Emperor's Palace.

Shen Fei sat below Feng Yi, listening calmly as his subordinates and elders from the Human Emperor's Palace reported on the battle results.

Suddenly, he, Feng Yi, and Ji Yang looked up almost simultaneously, their gazes piercing through the palace and gazing into the endless void outside the city.

"They've arrived," Feng Yi said calmly.

Outside Fuxi City, a massive white jade gate slowly opened in the void, shrouded in celestial light, yet carrying an indescribable air of tragic grandeur.

Led by Yin Jiao, a large and well-equipped delegation, yet with a somber and gloomy atmosphere, slowly flew out.

Yin Jiao walked at the front, followed by several core elders of the Guangcheng lineage, each with a solemn expression.

Next, Zi Xiao, Yu Jianzi, and the other three, bound tightly by the chains of Yin and Yang, were escorted by strongmen.

Further back, hundreds of disciples carried gift boxes filled with countless rare treasures, spiritual veins, and Daoist scriptures. The treasures shone brightly, yet no one showed any joy.

The delegation stopped outside the majestic palace gates of Fuxi City.

Yin Jiao stepped forward from the crowd, and in the void, he slowly bowed towards the main hall of the Human Emperor's Palace. His clear yet profound voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth:
"Yin Jiao, a sinner of the Yuqing Daoist lineage, led his disciples to bind and imprison the culprit, offered meager gifts, and paid homage at the Imperial Palace to request an audience with fellow Daoists Feng Yi and Ji Yang, as well as young friend Shen Fei."

"Today, I, Yuqing, have failed in my discipline, and my disciples are unworthy, blinded by greed, repeatedly offending the majesty of Heaven and committing wicked deeds, causing war and suffering to the people. This is all the fault of Yuqing." "Now I offer up the culprits for judgment. I also offer resources as compensation, the list of which is here. I hope this will atone for our sins."

"Yin Jiao dares not ask for forgiveness, but earnestly begs the two fellow Daoists and young friend Shen Fei to consider Heaven's benevolence towards life and the preciousness of the Yuqing Dao lineage's inheritance, and to grant my request for a ceasefire."

Yuqing vowed to uphold the Great Dao and never repeat the offense, hoping to preserve a glimmer of hope for the sect's survival.

After he finished speaking, the area outside Fuxi City fell silent.

Countless eyes were focused on the Taiyi Ancestor, who was bowing and pleading guilty, and on Zixiao and the others who were bound behind him.

The once mighty powers of the heavens are now begging for an end to the war in the most humiliating and humble way.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the response from the Human Emperor Palace and Shen Fei.

Feng Yi and Ji Yang exchanged glances but did not immediately express their opinions. Instead, they both looked at Shen Fei beside them.

All eyes in the hall turned to the young man who had created a miracle and single-handedly driven Yuqing to the brink of despair.

Shen Fei tapped the armrest of his chair lightly with his fingertips, his expression calm as he gazed at the tragic scene outside the palace gates and slowly spoke:
"Oh?"

Yin Jiao adopted an extremely humble posture, presenting the bound Zi Xiao and others, claiming that the culprit had been captured and that Shen Fei would decide their fate before proposing a compensation plan.

It possesses vast reserves of top-tier immortal materials, countless rare manuals and secret techniques, a wealth of spiritual energy, and jurisdiction over dozens of resource-rich subsidiary worlds.

Finally, two fragments of the "Heavenly Emperor's Seal" were taken out.

Shen Fei looked at the two Heavenly Emperor Jade Seals, accepted the fragments, and acquiesced to the terms.

The negotiations concluded, and the compensation resources from Yuqing gradually arrived. Shen Fei dispatched a summoned beast army centered around Chi You, Sheng Ji, Kunpengzi, and Gu Xian to the three top-tier abyssal danger zones of Gouchen Heaven.

A large-scale purge of the Abyss of Evil Beasts, Shadow Abyss, and Golden Abyss was carried out.

The Gu Immortal Insect Swarm tactic has become the main force, with its unlimited reproduction and devouring characteristics being brought to the extreme in the abyss environment, efficiently clearing out monsters.

The numerous summoned beasts unleashed their power, slaying countless abyss overlords and ancient monsters.

A massive amount of incredibly pure experience points were continuously fed back to Shen Fei through the contract. At the same time, precious materials and special treasures dropped from the abyss piled up like mountains.

These materials were continuously sacrificed by Shen Fei, allowing him to reach level 220.

Simultaneously.

Shen Fei merged all fifteen entries he extracted for the Gu Immortal, resulting in the ultimate enhancement of the [Infinite Insect Nest].

The offspring's hatching speed skyrocketed, gaining terrifying new traits such as [fission reproduction], [adaptive evolution], and [law theft]. The Gu Immortal's true aura grew increasingly profound, and the threat level of the insect swarm increased exponentially.

Shen Fei ordered them to multiply infinitely in a specific void breeding ground, accumulating a destructive army for the upcoming Chaotic Secret Realm.

The heavens trembled, and the entrance to the Chaotic Realm appeared at the intersection of the five heavens, its primordial fluctuations causing chaos in all laws.

Ancient beings from various powerful forces have awakened, and Golden Immortal-level experts have ended their seclusion.

During an emergency meeting at the Human Emperor's Palace, Feng Yi informed Shen Fei that the secret realm contained an opportunity to break through to the Taiyi realm, but it was also fraught with danger, as several Golden Immortals had perished there in the past.

Shen Fei was determined to go, accompanied by many Golden Immortals from the Human Emperor's Palace, both for exploration and to protect the Dao.
