I was so wicked before.

Under the watchful eyes of Shangguan Yi and everyone else, following the distortion of the black space, Ling Qi's figure slowly appeared.

When they saw that it was indeed Ling Qi who had returned, everyone was incredibly excited and immediately knelt down, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

As expected, His Majesty would never abandon them or the entire empire and simply walk away.

Those people from the alliance that day were talking complete nonsense.

His Majesty had indeed planned everything from the very beginning.

Just as the Grand Tutor said, His Majesty intends to use up the Alliance's last trump card.

Now, just as Xiao Jianyu had finished his pursuit, His Majesty returned.

This proves that Xiao Jianyu's pursuit of His Majesty has ended in failure.

Now, the alliance no longer has any means to threaten His Majesty or the Empire.

From this day forward, the Ye Xuan Dynasty will last for thousands of years, with no rivals to rival it.

"Thankfully... you're all still alive."

After Ling Qi returned, he smiled faintly and then slowly sat down: "Get up, everyone."

"yes!"

Everyone stood up, and everyone's expression underwent a dramatic change.

All the anxiety and worry on his face disappeared, replaced by a calm expression.

Before His Majesty, they were worried about not being able to defend Tian Island, and they were always on tenterhooks.

They feared that if the alliance suddenly intervened, the empire's last territory would be destroyed, and everyone would die.

Now that their emperor has returned, they have no more worries.

"The alliance... does have some skill."

After Ling Qi sat down, he propped his head up with one hand and said, "They rose to power and conquered all the passes, cities, and prefectures of the empire in one fell swoop."

"But...it doesn't matter!"

"The various territories under the empire's control are essentially dispensable."

"As long as the capital of Tian Island remains, and as long as you all remain, the Empire... will forever remain!"

The strongest army and the strongest generals of the entire empire are in the capital city of Tiandao.

The most crucial pillars are all located in the capital city of Tiandao.

Therefore, other places are indeed not important to Ling Qi.

The rest of the country was completely captured, but in reality, it wasn't even a scratch.

It's like peeling off a layer of clothing; it doesn't hurt or itch.

Moreover... in other parts of the empire, there are also many disloyal and rebellious individuals.

Those who remained in the capital of Tian Island were the core elite of the empire, and were absolutely loyal to him.

Thus, the empire was essentially unshaken in the slightest.

It's simply a matter of shaking off the surface dust.

Everyone nodded emphatically. Indeed, everyone was still there, and the capital of Tian Island was still there.

Most importantly... His Majesty is still alive!

"Next... I will launch a new campaign to pacify and cleanse the entire world."

Ling Qi's voice then slowly rang out: "Imperial Preceptor!"

"exist!"

Shangguan Yi stepped forward.

Ling Qi raised his hand and waved, sending an ancient book floating towards Shangguan Yi.

It was the ancient book he had previously searched for about the method of breaking through limits and ascending to immortality.

"This wordless book of heaven is called the Records of Heaven and Earth."

Ling Qi then slowly said, "It can actively record some innate secrets that exist between heaven and earth, but it requires a certain amount of wisdom and understanding to explore them."

"I am now entrusting this book to you for safekeeping. It should contain more than ten methods to reach the state of Wuji, which are always present in this world."

"From now on, you will be in charge of exploring these powers one by one, and they must be brought to the Empire as much as possible!"

Since this world was formed by compressing and condensing various realms from more than ten Limitless Realms.

Therefore, the power of those ten or so people at the Limitless Realm must have been hidden within this world.

They were found one by one.

These powers should all belong to the Empire!

Ling Yuexi is one of them, and the Tai Cang Ancient Array should also be considered one of them.

Where the rest are, and in what form, remains unknown.

Everyone was taken aback when they heard Ling Qi's words.

There are actually more than ten methods in this world that can lead to the state of Wuji?

Isn't this just too terrifying?

This world has existed for so long, and so far only His Majesty and Xiao Jianyu have reached the Limitless Realm.

So, where are those boundless realms of power hidden?

It seems that although the empire has dominated the world for far too many years, its exploration of this world has never been comprehensive.

"yes!"

Shangguan Yi nodded and accepted the Record of Heaven and Earth.

She then asked, "Your Majesty, if there are more than ten methods to reach the Limitless Realm in this world we inhabit, wouldn't the higher planes... be even more terrifying?"

Although this world is large enough, it is still a lower plane, isn't it?

If there are so many Limitless Realm powers in the lower planes, what must the upper planes be like?

Could it be that Extreme Realm is as common as dogs, and Wuji is everywhere?

"Heh, what kind of higher plane is this?"

Ling Qi smiled and shook his head, then said, "There are indeed many worlds outside, and countless realms."

"But... it can't be called a higher plane."

"Although the world of other planes is much more vast, the opportunities and potential contained in all its different realms are not as great as in this world."

"Compared to the outside world, this world... is the true core of all the endless realms!"

Ling Qi's words once again shocked everyone.

Is this world the true core of the endless myriad worlds?

That means this is not only not a lower plane, but the most important plane.

"By the way, Your Majesty, what about Xiao Jianyu... has Your Majesty dealt with him?"

Shangguan Yi thought of something and then asked.

Xiao Jianyu had just broken through to the limit and had just chased after His Majesty.

But now His Majesty has returned.

Where is Xiao Jianyu?

Is he dead?

"Ignore him!"

Ling Qi smiled faintly: "He knows what to do."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yi naturally understood.

Xiao Jianyu is still alive, but... he no longer poses a threat to His Majesty.

It's even possible that His Majesty deliberately spared Xiao Jianyu's life.

Ling Qi then waved his hand, and a long scroll was unfurled in front of him.

The scroll was completely blank.

He then took out a pen: "Next, I hereby order the entire army in the capital to prepare for the complete annihilation of the following forces!"

As he spoke, he picked up his pen and wrote down all his long-standing enemies on the scroll.

Whether it was left intentionally or accidentally.

Whether it was a powerful force or an individual, he wrote it all down in detail.

He wrote down everything he could remember or even vaguely recall.

Next, he will thoroughly eliminate the forces and individuals on the scroll list.

Regardless of size or strength, we will eradicate them completely, leaving no one alive!

Because this world contains too many unknowns and too many possibilities.

Every seemingly weak entity could very well become a threat to us in the future.

Absolutely must not be allowed to stay!
