Nationwide Development: Spend Billions in Advance to Bind the Empress

Chapter 126 The Seven-Tailed Fox! Luo Hongxi Emerges from Her Coffin, and All the Saints Arrive!

After his internal energy calmed down, Shen Yun looked at the piles of rubble filling the room with a helpless expression:

"Eighty thousand spirit stones are gone just like that..."

The breakthrough was fast; it only took him two days to go from the first level of Soul Forging to the first level of Mortal Transformation!

Compared to the four six-star Demon Suppression Lords of the Demon Suppression Division, who took decades to reach their current position, his efficiency is astonishing.

The only problem is that the consumption of spirit stones is quite high.

"Fortunately, a spirit stone vein has appeared..." After clearing away the waste stones in the room, Shen Yun looked at Bai Xian'er in the Beast Taming Space:

"Now my cultivation level has directly surpassed Xian'er's!"

At this moment, Xian'er was still lying in her nest, her whole body radiating a soft white light. When she woke up and saw her cultivation level, she would definitely be shocked!

'Let's see her status...' Shen Yun clicked on Bai Xian'er's profile:

【Baby Monster: Nine-Tailed Fox (Bai Xian'er - Seven-Tailed)】

[Gender: Female]

[Bloodline Quality: Imperial-grade Celestial Demon Fox Clan]

[Divine Talent Activated - Fusion with Heavenly Demon Fox Emperor's Blood: High chance of becoming an immortal after reaching the Emperor Realm]

[The Mark of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven: The Life-Protecting Divine Spell]

[Current Realm: Third Heaven of Dharma Aspect / Early Stage of Seventh Rank]

[Innate Abilities: Spatial Blink, Spirit Fox Healing, Void Strangulation, Spatial Binding, Void Banishment, Spatial Shield, Slowing Space.]

[Special Manual: The Ancient Scripture of the Demon Emperor]

[Status: Refining the divine Dao flower energy within the body...]

"Holy crap! Seventh rank?!" Shen Yun's eyes twitched in disbelief.

"Talented people are truly the darlings of the cultivation path..."

To activate the effects of the Divine Dao Flower, one must possess at least the blood of an emperor.

It has many limitations, but its effects are truly extraordinary. In just a few days, Bai Xian'er has already reached the seventh level!

Although Shen Yun was shocked, he was not jealous. After all, she was one of his own, and he was happy to see Xian'er become stronger.

After closing the notification bar, he saw a mention of the "Invincible Twelve Demon Generals" on his phone screen. He tapped it to see:

[Qin Shitong: @Shen Yun, boss, we've dealt with all the evil spirits in the city.]

[Shen Yun: Okay, if any evil spirits appear in the future, I'll send you their location, and you can deal with them then. I suggest you hang the heads or corpses of the evil spirits on the city walls to deter any villains.]

The message received a response very quickly:

Qin Shitong: Don't worry, boss, we've got this covered!

[Long Jiao: Boss, send me the task quickly! I'm incredibly strong now!!]

[Han Fei: Seriously, this Demon General's Legacy is really powerful! It's so frustrating, it feels so lonely without any opponents! (Except for the boss)]

[Wang Dafu: Boss, I've signed a lifetime contract with the company! You just assign tasks, and I'll just focus on slaying demons!]

"These people are quite amusing." Shen Yun chuckled and shook his head, then opened the magistrate's badge on the game interface and checked the location of the demons and monsters in Haicheng.

Compared to before, the number of evil spirits has decreased sharply recently, with only five remaining in the city.

"After killing them a few more times, they won't dare to come in." After sending the location to the group chat, Shen Yun casually checked the tasks on the [Monster APP]:

"Only those who reach the Seven Star Demon Suppressor level can accept eighth-rank official missions..."

Unfortunately, there are no seven-star missions available for monsters below the seventh rank.

There's no six-star demon-slaying mission either.

There was an official six-star mission to guard major cities in the southeast, but he wasn't interested.

Seeing that there was nothing noteworthy, Shen Yun sent a message to his dedicated customer service representative:

If a Seven Star Quest appears, remember to let me know immediately.

[Li Xiaoran: Okay, Mr. Shen! Wishing you a pleasant life!]

"Let's see how the game character is doing..." Shen Yun switched to the game interface and immediately saw that Luo Hongxi had returned to the Xuan Tian Continent.

On screen, the Demon Emperor's ancient coffin reappeared above Immortal Fall Mountain.

Rumble! ...

Thunder rumbled in the void, attracting the attention of many cultivators lingering there!

"It's an ancient coffin!!" The disciples of the Heavenly Evolution Sword Sect on the outskirts of the mountain range erupted in excitement.

"It must be Sword Master and the others returning!!!"

Whoosh!

Sword Sect Master Li Mingdao and a group of elders, including Lin Sheng, flew into the mountain with tense expressions.

'Ancestors, please protect them and keep them safe!'

"Good fortune favors the virtuous; they will surely return safely!"

Since Luo Hongxi disappeared, the entire Sword Sect has been unable to focus on cultivation.

This is a promising young talent in the sect, with the potential to attain enlightenment; no one wants to see him emerge.

But deep within Immortal Fall Mountain.

Zhao Xincheng and the other saints scattered around, staring intently at the ancient coffin that was slowly descending from the void.

They studied it for many days without any results. Even the old ancestor of the Eastern Region Demon God Mountain and the master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion were invited by Zhao Xincheng to perform divination, but they still came up empty-handed.

The Emperor is unfathomable!

This was a huge blow to Zhao Xincheng.

Now that the ancient coffin has returned, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief. But he, like everyone else in the Sword Sect, is worried about Luo Hongxi's condition.

Boom!

The ancient coffin hit the ground with a dull thud.

Amidst the scattered smoke and dust, the clicking sound of an ancient coffin opening could be heard.

Zhao Xincheng immediately sent out a wisp of his divine sense to probe into the ancient coffin.

When he realized that Luo Hongxi was alright, his tense nerves relaxed, his legs went weak, and he staggered a little.

The fact that a sage would react in this way shows how much he cares about this disciple.

"Haha!" The demon patriarch beside him laughed heartily and helped the sweating Zhao Xincheng up.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, it's rare to see you so out of control!"

This is the head of the Xuan Tian Alchemists; he's seen all sorts of grand occasions.

Unexpectedly, he couldn't even stand up straight at this moment.

"If you had a disciple like this, you'd be nervous too!" Zhao Xincheng's loss of composure lasted only a moment.

Looking radiant, he had shaken off his fatigue and stood tall, exuding the air of a master. After all, he was about to meet his disciple and couldn't afford to lose his dignity as a master.

"Hey!" With a crisp shout, Luo Hongxi leaped out, supporting herself with one hand on the ancient coffin.

Seeing that she was in excellent condition, the saints were relieved and all showed warm smiles.

One reason they were so willing to do this was because of Zhao Xincheng's influence. However, their primary motivation was to hear about Luo Hongxi's experiences and observations from her trip beyond the borders!

Throughout history, only the Great Emperor has ever been able to traverse vast realms and return safely!

They were also very curious about what the outside world was like.

"Hongxi!!!" Lin Sheng cried out like a cuckoo, rushing forward to embrace Luo Hongxi:

"Girl, you're finally back!!"

"Master, I'm alright!" Luo Hongxi quickly patted her master's back, then realized with a start that her master was trembling and crying. Her smile vanished, replaced by reddened eyes and trembling lips.

"I'm sorry, Master, Hongxi has made you worry..."

"It's alright... It's good that you're back." Lin Sheng cried tears of joy, wiping away her tears with excitement.

These days she has lost her appetite and can't sleep. She feels that if something happens to Hongxi, her Dao heart will collapse.

"Haha, now that you're back, I can finally get a good night's sleep!" Sword Saint Zongheng stroked his beard and laughed, while the sect leader and elders beside him also smiled broadly.

Chen Haotian, who had just jumped out of the coffin, was about to wave when he saw everyone surrounding Luo Hongxi, and awkwardly lowered his hand.

"Um... Senior Sister Zheng, it seems no one has noticed us two great contributors."
