Humans are devouring and selling off the heavens.

Chapter 86 Ten Thousand Immortals, Hong Xuanji Kneels
After passing the Hong residence, Hong Yi turned and headed towards the Crown Prince's residence.

As he left, a faint smell of blood quietly permeated the Crown Prince's residence.

As the crown prince, he disregarded the lives of the people, ignored the disaster, and even privately founded a cult, which led to hundreds of thousands of followers wreaking havoc on the world.

Such behavior deserves death long ago.

An hour later, the news spread throughout the court and the country, shocking everyone: the crown prince had died suddenly.

Emperor Qian, Yang Pan, his face showing undisguised exhaustion, summoned his ministers and publicly announced that Prince Yu would be the new crown prince.

……

Meanwhile, in a courtyard outside the former Green Willow Village, the howling of wolves and barking of dogs rose and fell incessantly.

The courtyard was surrounded by extremely high walls, made entirely of steel, reaching a height of ten meters. The walls were completely sealed, without even a single gate.

Hong Yi stood atop the wall, holding Hong Xuanji, who had transformed into a dog, and Madam Zhao in his hands, looking down at the restless stray dogs in the courtyard:
“At first I wanted to throw you, Madam Zhao, into a brothel and make you the lowest prostitute, so you could taste the true flavor of a ‘lowly servant.’ But then I thought, you don’t even deserve that.”

"Now that I have already labeled you as beasts, you shall have a taste of how beasts live."

Madam Zhao's dog-like eyes were fixed on the stray dogs in the yard. The moment she understood what she was saying, her whole body trembled violently, and she let out a mournful "howl" in her throat, begging for mercy.

It is the height of spring, a time when all things grow and life flourishes.

The dozen or so male dogs that Hong Yi had specially found, each one strong and robust, were now staring intently at Madam Zhao and Hong Xuanji in his hands, their eyes filled with undisguised drool.

If she falls, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Back then, she was the most powerful noblewoman in the capital, even overshadowing the Empress, enjoying unparalleled glory.

But now, if she falls into the clutches of these wild dogs, what awaits her is a hell more unbearable than death.

Upon hearing this, even Hong Xuanji, who was usually as steadfast as a rock, showed a rare hint of fear in her eyes.

"Wang! Wang Wang!"

Hong Xuanji suddenly let out a fierce bark from his throat and struggled desperately, with such force that an ordinary strong man could not restrain him.

He cultivated the Supreme Daoist arts and had long since achieved a state of indifference to external gains or losses, remaining almost unmoved by anything.

However, as a master of Neo-Confucianism, Hong Xuanji applied the principles of family law and social order, establishing feudal ethics and human relations. He was always high above others, but he could never tolerate the humiliation of being ridden by wild dogs!

Hong Yi lifted him up, his tone indifferent: "You stray dog, if you want Emperor Qian Yang Pan to come into this courtyard with you, you can continue to cause trouble."

The barking stopped abruptly as soon as he finished speaking.

Hong Xuanji instantly suppressed all her agitation, staring intently at Hong Yi with her dog-like eyes, but dared not utter a single whimper.

Seeing that Hong Xuanji had stopped struggling and that Madam Zhao was still wailing and begging for mercy, Hong Yi casually tossed the two of them into the courtyard, then turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

The next moment, the sounds of barking, tearing, and wailing from the courtyard behind them mingled together and rang out incessantly.

……

Half a year later.

The original site of the Marquis of Wuwen's residence has changed drastically. The plaque no longer reads "Marquis of Wuwen's Residence" but "Bingyun Temple".

In the very center of the mansion, in the main hall, stands a sacred statue, radiant and jade-like. It is a woman dressed in ice-silk cloud robes, her sash fluttering in the wind. Her features are exquisite, revealing an expression of boundless longing for life and affection. In this woman's eyes, everything is beautiful.

This statue depicts herself as Hong Yi's mother. (Meng Bingyun)

After Hong Yi rebuilt the Wuwen Marquis's mansion, he did not place the Hong family's memorial tablets, but instead built a mansion for his mother.

Inside this mansion, the former Prince Yu was watching Hong Yi write an article.

Hong Yi was now in a state of calm and stillness, but his thoughts and ideas were gradually flowing into his pen and into his writing.

After a year, Hong Yi's spiritual power had become unimaginably strong. Every time he wrote a word, just seeing the word written made Prince Yu feel a will bursting out from the word, enough to cleanse his spiritual power and wash away all distracting thoughts, making his spiritual thoughts shine brightly.

Boom!

It's as if some threshold has been broken down! Open it!

With just a few words from Hong Yi, Prince Yu crossed the threshold of becoming a ghost immortal and comprehended the meaning of life and death.

Finally, Hong Yi put pen to paper. Instantly, the article shone brightly!
A massive, suppressed surge of energy suddenly shot into the sky!

Buzzing, buzzing!
Just as Hong Yi finished writing, the memorial tablets and statues of the "Masters" enshrined in the temple trembled violently!

A hundred saints resonate!

Having witnessed the entire scripture by Hong Yi, Prince Yu felt his soul and thoughts blaze with brilliance upon seeing this light. These thoughts continued to expand, and he instantly broke through four tribulations of lightning!

Upon seeing this, he couldn't help but respectfully exclaim:
"Yi Zi, after writing the King of All Classics, the Book of Changes, you can be called a sage, the last sage after the Middle Ages, Yi Zi."

But Hong Yi shook his head.

"That's not enough. I also want to distribute this scripture and the elixirs."

He looked at Prince Yu and said:

"I'll leave this matter to you."

After saying this, Hong Yi went to the palace and "invited" Emperor Qian Yang Pan out, bringing them to a small world that spanned several hundred miles.

As soon as Yang Pan entered this small world, he knew that it was created by his own thoughts.

But he was not angry. To his surprise, this small world was very solid, surrounded by immortal energy and filled with primordial energy.

Just by taking a breath of air, his body, which had already become that of an ordinary person, visibly gained several more years of life.

Looking into the distance, his eyes revealed even more shock.

Countless ghost immortals and human immortals are practicing martial arts and cultivating Taoism in unison.

"How is Your Majesty feeling?"

Hong Yi said calmly from the side.

During this year, through various plant spirits, elixirs, and 100,000 wood crystals, coupled with Hong Yi's daily teaching of the I Ching and recitation of its meaning, everyone under Hong Yi's command practiced martial arts and cultivated Taoism in this small world, and all of them broke through to the levels of Ghost Immortal and Human Immortal, with 100,000 Human Immortals and 1 million Ghost Immortals!

What's even more terrifying is that these 100,000 immortals are not pseudo-immortals, but genuine immortals who have reached the realm of immortals.

Emperor Qian, Yang Pan, merely witnessed the power of the 100,000 immortals and the million ghost immortals before collapsing to the ground, his eyes losing their luster.

The following day, Emperor Qian, Yang Pan, announced his abdication.

The original Prince Yu immediately ascended the throne, received the homage of all officials, and was given the title of Jade Emperor.

After that, Hong Yi led a million ghost immortals and a hundred thousand human immortals, sweeping across the eight wastelands and six directions. All kinds of saintly families, sects and religions were wiped out and all submitted.

No sect could withstand so many immortal beings.

Even Meng Shenji, the leader of the Supreme Dao, was killed by the roar of 100,000 immortals for disobeying the law and trying to kill Hong Yi. His soul was scattered!
All slaves and serfs were freed.

During this period, the Jade Emperor ordered the distribution of elixirs and the meaning of the I Ching, so that all people in the world could possess wisdom, knowledge, and power.

Hong Yi then flew to the Outer Heavens to retrieve the Primordial Dragon Tooth Rice for the world, which he processed into Jade Emperor Rice and distributed throughout the land as food for the people.

Just one year later, with the help of billions of pills and the thorough study of the Book of Changes, everyone became knowledgeable, and martial saints and ghost immortals were as numerous as hairs on a cow. People broke through to the Human Immortal realm from time to time.

This is very close to Hong Yi's ideal world where everyone can ride the clouds and live forever, but everyone is polite, courteous, respectful and honest, and everyone is like a dragon.

The entire universe spans billions of miles, yet the total number of people in the universe does not exceed ten billion, which is enough to accommodate so many ghost immortals.

Meanwhile, throughout the vast lands and beyond, all nations submitted, creating a scene of peace and prosperity.

After this was accomplished, all the sages and philosophers resounded, and the radiance forged the image of Hong Yi. From then on, the whole world knew that this was the last sage among all the sages and philosophers, Yi Zi.

Hong Xuanji, who had suffered greatly living in the dog pen, became disheartened after learning all of the above and finally knelt down before Hong Yi.

After Hong Yi restored his human form, he was allowed to take Madam Zhao to accompany Yang Pan, where they would live out their days in the small world created by Yang Pan's thoughts, continuing their almost homosexual relationship as ruler and subject...
