Just as Chen Shi was about to speak, Wu Qi had already leaped up and vanished into the sky.
Chen Shi slightly furrowed his brow and said softly, "Wu Qi sensed his clansmen, could they be those Great Shang immortals who self-sealed? If these immortals are uncovered by him, they will likely undergo evil transformation immediately."
Wu Qi's speed was too fast for him to stop.
Underworld, the Ten Thousand Great Mountains expanded under the influence of the Purple Heaven Vine planted by Lady Houtu, merging with the underworld, splendid and magnificent. Wu Qi stood before an ancient mountain range, a mountain known as Ji Mountain during the Great Shang era, where the immortal Yun Chang resided.
Back then, as the foremost Great Witch of the Great Shang, Wu Qi had visited Immortal Yun Chang.
Although it was during the Great Shang era, numerous thoughts surged within the court, proposing that immortals be free from court jurisdiction, wander freely, play in the mortal world, or ascend to the immortal realm. But later, immortals discovered a mark of a criminal was imprinted in their bloodlines, forever barring them from ascension.
Despite this, they still refused to be bound by the court. Immortal Yun Chang was one such case.
Wu Qi's purpose in visiting Yun Chang was to persuade him to align with the court and set an example, but unfortunately, Yun Chang refused.
Lady Houtu performed sacrificial refinement on the Purple Heaven Vine, bringing the Ten Thousand Great Mountains under her domain, loosening Yun Chang's seal, and Wu Qi sensed the familiar aura, thus came to visit.
"Yun Chang, you once said that immortals seek freedom and disdain my proposal, claiming that entering the court would hinder one's immortal pursuits. But when calamity strikes, only the court can save the world."
Wu Qi raised his hand and grasped, the mountain cracked open, void fiercely trembled, and another fragmentary and turbulent small world, filled with evil and violent qi, slowly emerged.
In this small world, heaven and earth were both shattered, the great dao devastated, evil qi burgeoning, with strange flesh jumping within the small world, sometimes with a thud, a large lump of flesh plastered onto the barrier between the small world and the outside.
A young man dressed in the attire of the Great Shang era floated in the shattered world, motionless, as if frozen in amber.
"Immortals like you who long for freedom, in times of crisis, can only seal yourself and evade disaster. Only the court can oppose this world-annihilating catastrophe. You ultimately lost our debate."
Wu Qi gazed at the young man, his face dulled, and said, "Regrettably, the enemy was too strong, and the Great Shang eventually fell. Haha, now I too am a loser, here to awaken you, another loser..."
He was about to unseal Yun Chang when suddenly a voice came, "If I were the master, I wouldn't break the seal."
Wu Qi's heart stirred slightly, following the voice he looked, only to see a tall elder in blue leading a child approaching.
Wu Qi slightly furrowed his brow, examining the elder, only to find him adorned with ghostly sacrificial dao patterns.
"The great sacrificial wine master presiding over rituals? Are you of the Yin clan, a clansman of the sacrificial wine lineage?"
Wu Qi asked, "What relation is Yin Fa to you?"
The visitor was indeed the great sacrificial wine master from the Divine Capital, unable to contain his excitement upon seeing Wu Qi, stepped forward and saluted, "Yin Wushuang, pays respect to Master Wu Qi! Yin Fa is my ancestor!"
Wu Qi slowly raised his hand, saying, "Rise. You are descended from Yin Fa, why haven't your sacrificial dao patterns fully awakened?"
With a look of shame on his face, ready to respond, Wu Qi said, "I understand. Amidst calamity, even you couldn't ensure safety, many heritages perished, hence your inability to truly awaken the bloodline."
The great sacrificial wine master bowed and said, "I practiced the immortal dao, later turned to cultivate the divine dao, seeking longevity, hoping for the day of Great Shang's revival."
Wu Qi laughed, "Though the immortal dao has its merits, it doesn't surpass our witch sacrificial methods, the divine dao is no better. Since you've encountered me, I shall awaken the highest power of your witch sacrificial power!"
His figure flickered forward, arriving in front of the great sacrificial wine master, hand striking towards him.
The great sacrificial wine master did not resist, letting Wu Qi execute as he pleased, watching as Wu Qi rapidly moved here and there, injecting strands of mysterious power into his body. The various sacrificial dao patterns within him surfaced, releasing the powers hidden within each, growing stronger!
A moment later, Wu Qi withdrew his hand and stepped back.
The great sacrificial wine master felt waves of powerful energy surging inside him unstoppably, boosting his cultivation strength by more than thirty percent. He couldn't help but feel surprised and delighted, hurriedly dragging the child to express gratitude.
Wu Qi's gaze fell upon the child, slightly furrowing his brow, "Slave? Qiang?"
Countless punishments of crafting Qiang people for sacrifice flashed through his mind.
The great sacrificial wine master promptly shielded the child behind him, smiling, "Master, this child's name is Chu Feng, sought to ruin the daoist skills of the Outer Heaven True God. Chen Shi developed demon techniques, this child practices them, thereby tainting the Outer Heaven True God, first preventing Heavenly Venerate from controlling the Outer Heaven True God, and second transforming the world demonic, becoming a world where Great Shang people can thrive, reinstating the Great Shang orthodoxy!"
Wu Qi, upon hearing this, knitted his brow tightly, "Chen Shi? True King Chen Shi?"
The great sacrificial wine master affirmed.
Wu Qi's brow furrowed tighter, thinking of Chen Shi's various bizarre actions, feeling uneasy for unknown reasons, saying, "The Outer Heaven True God is the primordial spirit of King Shang, how could one demonize him? Chen Shi has a heavy demonic nature, I've met him, his conduct is peculiar and unsettling, unlike a good person. This Qiang person practices his cultivation techniques, likely not ending well. Enough, enough, we Great Shang people are nothing but exiled criminals by the Qiang, what nobility, what poverty, it's self-asserted."
He beckoned Chu Feng, saying, "As your master, I hold the authority to elevate or abolish the divine office of Great Shang people, today I shall grant you the witch sacrificial dao patterns, making you Shang people."
