Qi Hao achieved his grand goal of unifying the world and began to vigorously promote various reform measures.
He standardized the written language, enabling people from different regions to communicate better; he standardized weights and measures, promoting trade and economic prosperity.
He also ordered the construction of wide roads to connect various cities, facilitating people's travel and the transportation of goods.
In agriculture, Qi Hao encouraged people to reclaim wasteland, promote advanced agricultural technologies, and increase grain production.
At the same time, he reduced the tax burden on farmers, allowing people to live and work in peace and contentment.
In commerce, he established unified market rules, protected the legitimate rights and interests of merchants, and promoted commercial prosperity. The cities of Qi were filled with shops, a dazzling array of goods, and a scene of great prosperity.
Qi Hao also emphasizes the development of culture and education.
He established academies to cultivate talent, promote Confucianism, and improve the cultural literacy of the people. Under his rule, the culture and arts of Qi flourished, with poetry, songs, paintings, calligraphy, and other art forms emerging in great numbers.
Si Mingye and Chu Wanwan were happy to see the thriving state of Daqi.
They lived in this world for another three years. One day, the voice of Xuanwu suddenly came from the communication stone that Chu Wanwan could use to connect all worlds.
"Master, the demons have broken through the Demon Realm and are now besieging the Chaos Abyss. We request your support!"
The Xuanwu's anxious voice came from the communication stone, mixed with shouts of battle and the sounds of spiritual energy colliding.
Si Mingye and Chu Wanwan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with solemnity.
"Wasn't the seal on the Demon Realm repaired? How could it have been broken by the demons?" Chu Wanwan asked in confusion.
"The Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm has obtained some kind of opportunity and is now at the intermediate god level. The sealed divine power is no longer effective against him."
After Xuanwu finished speaking, Chu Wanwan didn't ask any more questions. She used the power of the Supreme God to open a spatial passage and instantly disappeared from the spot.
When they appeared in the Abyss of Chaos, the scene before them was far more horrific than they had imagined.
The demon army surged like a black tide, relentlessly assaulting the defenses of the Chaos Abyss.
Despite their valiant resistance, the immortal cultivators were forced into retreat by the powerful offensive of the demon race.
Si Mingye and Chu Wanwan immediately joined the battle, their divine power shining like brilliant light, illuminating the entire battlefield.
Si Mingye brandished his demonic sword, and wherever the sword's shadow fell, demons fell one after another.
After Chu Wanwan drew talismans in the void and became a mid-level god, the power and range of the Demon Gathering Talisman Array became even greater. The talismans, covering the sky and blotting out the sun, covered the entire sky.
The massive demon army froze in place, the demonic energy emanating from them converging towards the Demon Gathering Array. In the blink of an eye, a vast black ocean of demonic energy formed beneath the array.
With a wave of her hand, Chu Wanwan's life force began to transform demonic energy into spiritual energy, which flowed continuously towards her body.
Just then, bursts of explosions emanated from the Chaos Abyss. Chu Wanwan knew that the Demon Emperor in the Chaos Abyss was attacking the seal.
"Si Mingye, hurry and help!" Chu Wanwan shouted.
Upon hearing this, Si Mingye flew directly into the Chaos Abyss.
...
Xuanmo was also at the intermediate god realm, and his fighting strength should have been evenly matched with that of the Demon Emperor. However, because he had to maintain the chaotic winds outside, he was inevitably distracted and was severely injured by the Demon Emperor.
He lay before the seal, barely clinging to life.
The Demon Emperor was frantically attacking the seal, the powerful magical impact causing the seal's light to flicker and teeter on the verge of collapse. Si Mingye's eyes sharpened, and the demonic sword in his hand shone brightly as he thrust it directly at the Demon Emperor.
Sensing the threat behind him, the Demon Emperor whirled around and engaged Si Mingye in fierce combat. The clash of their powers created a powerful shockwave, shattering the surrounding rocks.
Outside the abyss, Chu Wanwan absorbed spiritual energy while keeping an eye on the battle within the chaotic abyss.
Upon seeing the Domain Lord return, the immortal cultivators were greatly encouraged and engaged in a fierce battle around the high-ranking demons.
...
The battle between Si Mingye and the Demon Emperor intensified, with the Demon Emperor unleashing powerful magical attacks with his strength at the intermediate god level.
Si Mingye, however, held his own thanks to his superb swordsmanship.
"Si Mingye, do you think you can stop me? Today, I will break this seal and let the demon race rule the entire world!" the Demon Emperor roared.
Si Mingye said coldly, "Don't even think about it! With me here, you won't succeed."
With that, Si Mingye unleashed his full power, the light on his demonic sword growing ever brighter. He flashed forward, charging towards the Demon Emperor at incredible speed. The Demon Emperor hastily tried to defend, but was still forced back several steps by Si Mingye's sword strike.
"I didn't expect you to level up so quickly in just a few days!" The Demon Emperor looked at Si Mingye with a cold gaze.
Si Mingye ignored the Demon Emperor and swung his demon sword again, unleashing a storm of sword energy towards the Demon Emperor.
The Demon Emperor's eyes widened in fury, and he formed hand seals, releasing a powerful magical shield to defend himself.
The fierce battle caused light to flicker within the chaotic abyss, and rocks to continuously crumble.
Seeing that Si Mingye's attacks were fierce and difficult to break through, and seeing that his demon army was almost wiped out, the Demon Emperor knew that if he continued to fight, he would surely be defeated.
Therefore, the only way to defeat the people of the Immortal Realm is to rescue the Ten Demon Generals.
Thinking of this, the Demon Emperor stopped entangled with Si Mingye, made a feint, and rushed directly towards the cave entrance where the Ten Demon Generals were sealed.
"Not good!" Si Mingye realized what was happening and immediately gave chase.
The Demon Emperor rushed to the seal, and with a wave of his hand, a powerful surge of magic smashed towards it. The seal trembled violently under the impact of the Demon Emperor's powerful magic, and it looked like it was about to be broken.
Si Mingye was extremely anxious and increased his speed to the limit, arriving at the last second. He raised the demonic sword and unleashed a sharp sword aura with all his might, colliding with the Demon Emperor's demonic power.
A deafening roar echoed through the chaotic abyss, the powerful impact forcing both of them back several steps. The Demon Emperor glared at Si Mingye, "Are you determined to oppose me to the very end?"
Si Mingye's eyes were firm. "If you want to disrupt world peace, I will never allow it."
At this moment, Chu Wanwan also sensed the changes within the Chaos Abyss. She quickly stopped absorbing spiritual energy and rushed into the abyss. Seeing that Si Mingye and the Demon Emperor were locked in a stalemate, Chu Wanwan joined the battle. She drew talismans in the air, and powerful spells shot towards the seal. She wanted to protect the seal first, lest it be destroyed by the Demon Emperor.
Then, wielding the Flowing Light Sword, he charged towards the Demon Emperor.
Faced with the combined attack of Si Mingye and Chu Wanwan, the Demon Emperor was quickly wounded. He knew that if things continued this way, he would surely die. But if he couldn't rescue the Demon Generals now, it would be even more difficult later.
