Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 191 The Biggest Winner

Emperor Yi slightly raised his hand, and the entire temple fell silent.

He wore a dark black cloak, a precious robe belonging exclusively to the hall master, which was over ten feet long and covered most of the hall master's throne.

"The old thief Lingxiao colluded with the Demonic Sect, murdered Hall Master Yun, and attempted to overthrow the Hundreds of Thousand Years of Heritage of the First-Class Hall. Fortunately, the Evil Emperor made a wise decision and sent me to the front lines in this time of crisis. Over the past few months, we have fought several battles. Now, the old thief Lingxiao is dead, and the Demonic Sect has suffered heavy losses and retreated. Qingjing Mountain is now renewed, and all of you have made invaluable contributions."

"Yipintang was able to resolve its internal and external troubles thanks to the full support of Jiuyou Sword Saint, Manager Niancang, and others, and also thanks to everyone's hard-fought battles. You deserve to be rewarded for your merits, and I, the hall master, will reward you both today."

Xu Sanjin smiled. Although Di Yi's methods were still somewhat immature, he already showed signs of becoming a hegemon of the evil path. Given time, he would surely become a new generation of giants of the evil path in the Kunlun Realm.

"Elder Xu Sanjin."

Di Yi called out his name first, and everyone's eyes turned to him.

Xu Sanjin's smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression. He took a step forward and bowed to Di Yi.

"Your subordinate greets the Hall Master."

“Brother Xu is a senior, and his cultivation and experience surpass mine. There’s no need for such formalities.” Di Yi quickly reached out and supported him with his holy energy. Then he addressed the crowd in the hall, “Elder Xu Sheng came to Qingjing Mountain with me. He fought against Ling Xiao and stabilized the situation. His contributions are invaluable. He was originally the chief manager of Dingxuan Prefecture. Now he stays to serve as the Holy Elder of the First-Rank Hall. It is a demotion for him. I think we should appoint a deputy hall master under the hall master, and Elder Xu Sheng will serve in that position.”

“Vice Hall Master Xu is of high moral character and prestige, and it is only right that he is so. Hall Master is wise.” Song Molun responded loudly.

In an instant, the voice of the sage resounded throughout the hall.

"I am deeply grateful for the Hall Master's kindness, so I will accept the position of Deputy Hall Master without hesitation." Xu Sanjin did not refuse; to him, there was no difference between the Holy Elder and the Deputy Hall Master.

Before the birth of the second Supreme Saint in the First-Class Hall, his status was second only to Emperor Yi.

The roar of thunder and waves echoed once again inside the hall.

"Greetings, Deputy Hall Master Xu."

Emperor Yi then issued a second decree, promoting Fu Jiuluo and Fu Liuyun to the position of Holy Elders. The former was in charge of external wars, while the latter was in charge of internal affairs.

The Tianfu and Tianji palaces have not yet found suitable candidates to serve as their respective palace masters, and the two people will temporarily take over.

Of the remaining four palaces, except for the Seven Killings Palace which is still headed by Song Molun, the other three palaces each have two deputy palace heads who are temporarily in charge of all matters.

He then issued a decree to select young geniuses from various evil forces in the Central Region and Nine Provinces to fill the Six Star Palace.

They reorganized the Tianxiao Camp, selecting the best young members of the hall to serve as the palace guard, directly under the command of the hall master, Emperor Yi.

Besides the various appointments, there were also various rewards in the Heavenly Palace on this day, most of which were accumulated from the palace's treasury, while some were paid for by Emperor Yi himself.

The most precious of all was the dragon's aura, of which more than two hundred strands were bestowed.

That night, Mount Qingjing was brightly lit, and the cultivators inside, from saints to those at the fourth level of martial arts, all sang praises of the wise and mighty Emperor Yi Hall Master.

Emperor Yi, the hall master, was currently boating on Qinghu Lake.

Accompanying them were Qinghu Longjun and Fu Jiuluo.

Fu Jiulu changed into a silver holy robe representing her status as a Holy Elder, which accentuated her graceful figure. She removed her jade-like face mask, revealing her stunning beauty.

Although she is over two hundred years old, she looks like an eighteen-year-old girl, which is very eye-catching.

"Master, during this period, I have sent disciples from the Heavenly Palace and the Qinghu Aquatic Clan to patrol the 50,000-mile lake surface. Apart from the continuous increase in the concentration of spiritual energy, we have not found any other abnormalities."

"Very good. Continue to send people to patrol. If anything seems amiss, report it immediately. There is a great terror at the bottom of Qinghu Lake. The slightest mistake could have unimaginable consequences," Di Yi instructed.

"Yes, I understand," Fu Jiuluo replied.

After pondering for a moment, Qinghu Dragon Lord said, "Master, I have a request to make. Please do not take offense."

"Oh? What is it, Dragon Lord? Please speak freely." The Emperor looked at him.

"Does the Hall Master have any extra dragon energy? If so, could you exchange some with me? I am now only half a step away from becoming a True Saint, and the ancestral bloodline within me is showing signs of revival. If I can refine enough dragon energy, I will have a chance to break through to the Saint King realm within a hundred years, no, within fifty years." The Azure Lake Dragon Lord's eyes were burning with desire.

The Qinghu Dragon Clan is a lineage created from the blood of the Yellow Dragon God. The ancestral blood flowing in their bodies is of the same origin as the Yellow Dragon's dragon energy. The dragon energy has an effect on the Qinghu Dragon Lord that is countless times greater than that of others.

If he refines enough dragon energy, it is not impossible for him to revert to his ancestral bloodline and transform into a true pure-blooded yellow dragon in the future, but the probability is extremely low.

"There are still some left. How much does the Dragon Lord need?" Di Yi asked.

After a moment's thought, the Azure Lake Dragon Lord gave his minimum requirement: "I need three hundred of these. I am willing to exchange them for the sacred pills passed down through the Azure Lake Dragon Clan."

"Three hundred?" Fu Jiuluo, who was standing to the side, was shocked when she heard this. She only knew that the Azure Lake Dragon Lord needed dragon energy, but she did not know that he needed so much.

During the day, the hall master bestowed great rewards, but the amount of dragon energy he granted was less than three hundred.

Di Yi did not refuse, but instead asked with great interest, "What kind of sacred pill is this ancestral sacred pill?"

The Azure Lake Dragon Lord took out a box that appeared to be made of sacred bone material, about a foot square, and slowly opened it. Instantly, streams of dragon-shaped pill energy flew out from it.

A unique fragrance wafted into the air. Di Yi only took one breath, but he felt the flow of his holy energy and blood energy increase by three points.

"This pill is called the Dragon Essence Pill. It is a Grade Earth Saint Pill. It was refined by a Great Saint Ancestor of the Qinghu Dragon Clan. It was nurtured in the Dragon Palace for tens of thousands of years, and now only this one remains."

"This pill contains a massive amount of Sacred Dragon Origin Power. As long as one's soul is not completely destroyed, one can recover from injuries in a short time after consuming it. Wearing it on one's person can also increase cultivation speed by 10% to 20%." Pills are divided into nine grades, and above the ninth grade are Sacred Pills.

The sacred pills are further divided into low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, earth-grade, and heaven-grade...

Top-grade holy pills are already extremely rare, and even true saints and supreme saints would treasure them like precious gems.

There isn't a single Earth-grade Saint Pill in the First-Class Hall; it's likely that only geniuses throughout the universe would have some left.

"One Earth-grade Saint Pill in exchange for three hundred strands of Dragon Qi?" Emperor Yi asked to confirm.

"That's right, I hope the Hall Master will grant my request."

After a moment's hesitation, the emperor readily agreed.

He had no shortage of hundreds of dragon energies, but he lacked this Earth-grade Dragon Essence Pill, which could not only aid in cultivation but also save his life in critical moments, making it extremely rare.

Di Yi took out a jade bottle and handed it to Qinghu Dragon Lord, then casually put away the Dragon Essence Pill Bone Box.

"The dragon energy is inside the jade bottle; you can take a look at it."

The Azure Lake Dragon Lord carefully took it and probed it with his divine sense, immediately becoming stunned.

"Master, this..."

"The extra fifty strands of dragon energy are a personal gift from this hall master. If the Dragon Lord can break through to the next realm soon, it will be a good thing for the First-Class Hall," Di Yi said with a faint smile.

The Azure Lake Dragon Lord was filled with mixed emotions. After a moment of silence, he bowed deeply to Emperor Yi and said, "From now on, whatever you command, I will obey without question."

After spending the night by boat along Qinghu Lake, several familiar figures arrived at the Tianxiao Temple at dawn the next day.

Not long ago, the great battle in the Azure Dragon Ruins ended, and cultivators from all sides of the Kunlun Realm returned one after another.

The people from the Eastern Black Market have naturally returned and gone back to the Eastern Region.

Those who came to Qingjing Mountain were Di Yi's Heavenly Demon Shadow, as well as Han Qiu and A Le.

The Heavenly Demon Shadow is Emperor Yi's clone. Although they are too far apart to know the situation in the Azure Dragon Ruins Realm at any time, Emperor Yi sensed it after it returned to the Kunlun Realm a few days ago, which is why he came out of seclusion from the World-Stabilizing Banner.

At this moment, upon synchronizing the memories of the Heavenly Demon Shadow, Emperor Di's face immediately lit up with joy, filled with disbelief.

He hadn't expected that the Heavenly Demon Shadow's trip to the Azure Dragon Ruins would yield such a huge harvest.

First and foremost was the Holy Spirit Source Liquid; from the first to the ninth grade, a considerable amount was obtained.

Even the rarest Grade Nine Holy Spirit Spring is enough to refine more than 200,000 Grade Nine Holy Essence Pills.

Even if most of it is allocated to Huanyu Tian for unified distribution, the portion controlled by Di Yi is enough to drive any ancient sect or clan crazy. If used sparingly, it wouldn't be difficult to use it for 100,000 years.

If it were merely the source of the Holy Spirit, Emperor Yi wouldn't have lost his composure like this.

Those who went to the Azure Dragon Ruins to participate in the battle were all cultivators below the Saint Realm, because the Azure Dragon Ruins, which was on the verge of destruction, was no longer able to bear the power of the Saint Realm.

Therefore, in the Azure Dragon Ruins Realm, the geniuses at the Half-Saint Realm are the strongest fighting force, especially those legends on the Half-Saint Ranking.

The Kunlun Realm is vast and boundless, and the human race is just one of many races within it.

Not all of the nine World Sons cultivated by Empress Chi Yao at great expense have made it onto the Half-Saint Ranking.

The Savage Beast Clan, the Undying Blood Clan... all had their top geniuses enter, and they brought with them great treasures.

The Heavenly Demon Shadow is formed from Emperor Yi's earth soul. Even if its strength is not as good as Emperor Yi's, it still has at least 70-80% of Emperor Yi's strength. If placed in the Azure Dragon Ruins Realm, it would be enough to sweep away all sides.

Unless Zhang Ruochen reaches the level of a Quasi-Saint of the Third Tribulation, he might be able to put up a fight by relying on the power of time and space.

"The Emperor-Slaying Demon Sword, the White Sun Arrow, the Azure Sky Bow... and this is the God-Slaying Cross Shield?"

"My God, did you wipe out the entire Undying Blood Clan?"

Emperor Yi was astonished. After reviewing his memories, he understood what had happened.

The Undying Blood Clan devised a plan to deal with the nine World Princes of the Human Race, which naturally included Zi Qian, who was a World Prince.

Zi Qian sought help from the Eastern Region Black Market, and Di Yi's Heavenly Demon Shadow led the Black Market members to join the battle.

In one battle, he killed the Yellow Heaven Princess, the Azure Heaven Prince, and the Pure Heaven Prince, severely injured the Demon Heaven Prince and the Qi Heaven Prince, and seized all their weapons as his spoils.

The Emperor-Slaying Demon Sword is an ancient sacred artifact. Eight hundred years ago, the unparalleled hero of the Undying Blood Clan, Blood Demon, who cultivated the nine Heavenly Demon Stone Carvings, wore this sword.

The Azure Sky Bow and the White Sun Arrow are a set, a royal war weapon of extremely high grade, containing divine power, and belonging to the ancient artifacts of the Undying Blood Clan.

As for the God-Slaying Cross Shield, it is even more extraordinary. It is a supreme holy artifact that has truly killed a god, and it is not far from being a divine artifact.

There were also many other gains, each one quite remarkable.

Di Yi couldn't help but sigh. Unwittingly, he had become the biggest winner of the trip to the Azure Dragon Ruins.
