All races revere me as the Heavenly Emperor, solely because of my nine disciples!

"Qin Xiyao, the reincarnation of the Empress's Dao Fruit!"

Back in his room, Zhou Hai sat cross-legged on a Saint-level futon and retrieved all the information about his new disciple from the system, only to be met with a look of astonishment.

I thought the Undying Battle Spirit Body was already powerful enough, but I didn't expect this second disciple to be even more powerful.

The Empress has been reincarnated, and she is even a Dao Fruit reincarnation! This is extraordinary!

You must know that reincarnation is like a knife, severing countless lives.

Among those who enter the cycle of reincarnation, under the rules of the Great Dao, it is extremely rare for even one in billions to retain memories of their past life! Let alone retain the Dao fruits of their past life.

The Dao Fruit is the essence of a person's cultivation, a summary of the Great Dao!

Without these, reincarnators are basically unable to recover their cultivation from their previous lives, and most of them can only be reborn as mortals, livestock, or plants for countless lifetimes.

But the reincarnation of the Dao Fruit is different; apart from losing memories of the previous life, it is itself a rebirth of the Dao.

According to the system, because it conflicts with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, it may be suppressed by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, persecuted by fate, and unable to escape the three calamities and nine tribulations in its lifetime.

But once these constraints are broken, it is easy to return to the peak of the previous life, and after reaching the peak, gradually recover the memories of the previous life and live another life!

It can be said that, in the midst of the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, as long as Zhou Hai can successfully protect his second disciple, she is destined to become an emperor!

"My goodness! These days, it's rare to see a sage even once in a thousand years, let alone an emperor!"

"The legend of the last emperor seems to date back 300,000 years!"

"By taking a Great Emperor as my disciple, I'm going to roam freely throughout the myriad realms!"

Zhou Hai smacked his lips, looking expectant.

Then he checked all the system rewards he received after Chen Bei's cultivation level improved.

"The Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. Even if the soul is flawed or the Dao Fruit is damaged, one pill can restore it!"

"Once the scroll of the Great Divine Power of Thunder Punishment is sealed, it can unleash a corresponding heavenly tribulation based on the opponent's realm. Once the scroll is opened, whether the opponent is one person or millions of people, they will be enveloped by the thunder punishment, and will either die or be seriously injured!"

"The Emperor's Corner Teleportation Array, when activated, allows free travel to any location within a million miles. If all teleportation arrays could be collected, one could freely travel to any of the myriad realms and the entire universe!"

Upon seeing these rewards, Zhou Hai's eyes widened; he was incredibly excited.

Especially the Saint Experience Card, which grants twelve hours of Saint cultivation upon activation.

This is simply invincible equipment!

Over the years, he has received many good things from signing in.

Unfortunately, they were either divine weapons or various elixirs to enhance cultivation and comprehend the Great Dao.

In short, these things were completely useless to him since he couldn't cultivate.

Only at this point did the system actually give him something useful.

A Saint Experience Card! If he had gotten it sooner, he would be famous all over the world by now.

Everyone else has to kneel and call him Holy Ancestor when they meet him. If anyone dares to call him Salty Fish again, I'll slap him to death!

"Damn, is the Holy Land so great?"

"It's just that our ancestors included a sage, and we have the sage's relics to protect us!"

"No one in any of the major holy lands knows if any saints are still alive! I can become a saint in an instant, so who the hell dares to mess with me!"

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. It wasn't until much later that Zhou Hai realized what was happening.

I usually feel incredibly sleepy around this time, but today I'm not sleepy at all.

Then he realized that things were different now; he was no longer an ordinary person.

However, he couldn't cultivate, and he wasn't used to not sleeping late at night, so he simply lay down.

Strangely, however, practitioners who do not need to sleep can quickly fall asleep when they are truly determined to do so.

In just a few breaths, he successfully drifted off to sleep!

……

The next day at dawn, just as the sky was beginning to lighten, Murong Xiao's voice could be heard from the horizon.

"Junior brother..."

The thunderous sound startled Zhou Hai, who jumped up, pulled on his pants, and rushed outside.

"Damn, what are you doing?"

"It's not even dawn yet, are you trying to kill me?!"

Seeing Murong Xiao standing high in the sky amidst the morning mist, Zhou Hai said with dissatisfaction.

"Junior Brother Du Hai released a communication talisman; something's happened over there, we need to get there immediately!"

Murong Xiao's face turned ugly.

"What? They even used a sound transmission talisman?"

"Damn, that's so dangerous! Are you sure you want to take me with you?"

Zhou Hai was a little confused.

It should be noted that in the cultivation world, although transmission talismans are not considered extremely precious, their price is incredibly high, and ordinary cultivators simply cannot afford them.

Even some sect elders wouldn't use it unless absolutely necessary; otherwise, Du Hai wouldn't have sent someone to the academy to deliver the message.

But now, he has actually used the communication talisman he used to ask for help, which clearly indicates that he is in a very critical situation.

You must understand, Du Hai is a near-Dao Enlightenment expert. If even he got into trouble, how dangerous would it be for me to go?

"Nonsense, let's go!"

Murong Xiao left no room for doubt. Zhou Hai had barely put on his clothes when Murong Xiao waved his hand, and Dao principles wrapped around Zhou Hai's entire body, lifting him into the air!

Then a spirit boat appeared, and the two of them landed on it and left at an extremely fast speed!

Braving the wind and breaking through the fog all the way!

Zhou Hai and Murong Xiao arrived in Qinzhou, hundreds of thousands of miles away, in just two hours!

Qinzhou Prefecture City was very prosperous. With a population of 10 billion in Qinzhou as a whole, the area under the jurisdiction of the prefecture city alone had a population of over 100 million.

Early in the morning, smoke curled from chimneys throughout the vast city, a scene of prosperity.

However, upon closer inspection, one will find that amidst the rising smoke, the entire massive city does not possess a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere; instead, there is the sound of gongs, drums, and firecrackers.

The atmosphere was lively, yet slightly tense!

"Wow, Senior Brother Sect Leader, it's so lively!"

"I left here seven years ago, and I remember we didn't have any faith back then. Now, with all this banging of drums and gongs, who are they worshipping?"

Zhou Hai looked down and couldn't help but laugh.

"The devil is twisted, the devil is evil!"

Murong Xiao frowned, his face extremely grim.

"Huh? Senior brother, how can you talk like that?"

"You have your beliefs, I have mine. I may not understand them, but I should respect them!"

How can you slander others like that?

Zhou Hai pursed his lips, speechless.

"You brat, you never read proper books, you only read frivolous ones!"

"Who in the world, besides those in Buddhism, needs faith?"

"So-called faith is nothing more than a means for most practitioners to enslave sentient beings!"

"Look at that sedan chair, there are hundreds of boys and girls inside!"

"Looking inside the carriage, there were a hundred beautiful young women, all dressed in wedding gowns!"

"Can't you figure out what this means?"

Murong Xiao was furious and frowned.

Zhou Hai stared intently, and was immediately startled. His brows furrowed, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Is this a form of human sacrifice, used for a wedding?"

Zhou Hai said in an icy voice.

"Let's go down and take a look!"

Murong Xiao led Zhou Hai into the city and mingled into the busiest street.

"Great Lord Mo Hai, save your poor people!"

"Merciful and compassionate Heavenly Venerable Mo Hai, please bless your people!"

"Great and all-powerful Heavenly Venerable Mo Hai, please quell this disaster as soon as possible!"

As soon as I landed, I heard countless people praying, all asking the so-called Ink Sea Celestial Venerable for protection.

"Brother, we have just come from out of town. May we ask who this Venerable Mo Hai is?"

Murong Xiao grabbed a tall, thin man and asked with a smile.

"Oh dear, you mean the Celestial Venerable Mo Hai!"

"This Ink Sea Celestial Venerable is incredibly powerful; he was born to save the world and came for all living beings!"

"Did you know that the plague spread from Liucheng a couple of days ago, and now the entire Qinzhou region is basically affected, including this prefectural city!"

"The imperial court has sent several groups of people, including four imperial envoys, but without exception, they all contracted the plague and died!"

"Faced with this world-destroying plague, the city lord's mansion is helpless, the governor's mansion is helpless, and even the imperial court is powerless to stop it!"

"But last night, the merciful and omnipotent Mo Hai Tianzun descended and controlled the plague with a mere wave of his hand!"

"Furthermore, the Celestial Venerable Mo Hai has captured the culprit who caused the plague, and will execute him publicly today!"

Upon hearing this, the man excitedly explained.

"Yes, yes, I've also heard that the culprit is someone from the imperial court, the last imperial envoy, whose name was something like Du!"

At that moment, someone suddenly jumped out from the side, equally excited.

"Du Hai!"

"I heard that Du Hai disrespected the gods and angered the heavens, so the heavens sent down a plague to punish our Great Zhou!"

Another person walked over and interrupted.

"What, Du Hai?"

Murong Xiao's expression changed, and he said, "Does executing Du Hai mean the plague will disappear?"

The group shook their heads and smiled. One of them said, "How could that be? Heavenly punishment has descended upon the world. How can it be dispersed so easily?"

"Only with the Heavenly Venerable of the Ink Sea reigning over the world can righteousness be upheld, evil be warded off, and all people be protected!"

"Therefore, in today's sacrifice, we, the people, will offer up a hundred young boys and girls to be guided to heaven, and send a hundred brides to be married to the Heavenly Venerable, leaving behind a legacy of karma!"

"Only in this way can the Celestial Venerable be freed from the shackles of the Heavenly Realm and stay in the mortal world to protect us sentient beings!"

After this person finished speaking, another person added, "However, since the Celestial Venerable is staying in the mortal realm, the lack of celestial power will weaken his magical abilities. Therefore, starting tomorrow, Qinzhou will ensure that hundreds of millions of people mine spiritual ore every day to replenish the Celestial Venerable's magical power!"

"We have already signed up! We are happy to contribute to the Heavenly Venerable!"

Zhou Hai looked at these people with an expression that said, "Are you an idiot?"

Seriously, people actually believe in such a clumsy cult propaganda method? If this happened on Earth, it would be reported in no time!

Even the elderly can't stand it, right?

Murong Xiao felt a pang of sympathy!

These foolish people are simply too well protected by the academy and the imperial court; they are all so happy to be sold out!

At the same time, Murong Xiao couldn't help but worry.

Du Hai has fallen into the hands of that Ink Sea Celestial Venerable, and we don't know what his situation is!

To be able to defeat Du Hai, this Ink Sea Celestial Venerable is definitely no ordinary cultivator!

This trip to Qinzhou is destined to be extremely dangerous!
