Li Hong swiftly entered the Yin Yang Platform and sat cross-legged on the white jade throne. His Divine Consciousness probed into the Cosmic Bag, filtering through the thousands of Extreme Treasures one by one.
Before long, the Silver-Purple Dragon-Shaped Artifact was taken out by Li Hong and set aside. Although this item couldn't hold a person, it could certainly accommodate someone sitting on it. With this thought, Li Hong gained another perspective; he not only needed to find treasures that could contain people but also those that could carry them.
One by one, the Extreme Treasures were categorized by Li Hong. He disregarded any purely combat-oriented items, tossing them aside without a glance. However, if something appeared Strange, he would delve into it with his Divine Consciousness to check its usage. Time passed slowly, and among the thousands of Extreme Treasures, he found about ten that could carry people, but none that could contain them. Undeterred, Li Hong filtered through them once more, ultimately sighing in vain; there truly were none. It was understandable; at the time of ascension, who would bring along a useless treasure from the immortal realm? That would be a waste. Moreover, even in the Human Realm, such treasures would be utterly useless—who would go through the trouble of crafting an Extreme Treasure that could only hold living beings?
It seemed he had no choice but to forge one himself. Li Hong took out the Spatial Treasure Crafting Silk Book that was attached to the Cosmic Bag and began to examine it with his Divine Consciousness. After a long while, he sighed deeply again.
This Spatial Treasure Crafting Silk Book was indeed a rare treasure; the last two sections contained methods for forging spatial artifacts. It should be noted that even a Celestial Artifact level Spatial Treasure was merely like the Cosmic Bag Li Hong obtained from Temple City—it could be stored within one's body but could only hold ordinary items. Only by forging a spatial artifact could one contain living beings, and within it, they would neither grow nor perish—making it most suitable for holding mortals. The problem was that there was no place to find the main materials for forging such artifacts!
The primary materials for spatial artifacts must be the skin or bones of divine beasts. Divine beasts! A Heavenly Torch is merely a high-level celestial beast; divine beasts are legendary creatures of legend. At this moment, where could he find a divine beast? Would he have to kill it and strip its skin for bones? Even if one were right in front of him, neither he nor Heavenly Torch nor Fuxi nor Xuan Yuan could guarantee they could defeat it. Moreover, there were no divine beasts here at all.
This path was completely blocked.
Li Hong sighed deeply once more.
Suddenly, a small voice reached his ears: "Master, are you looking for something that can contain people? I can do that! Did you forget about me?"
The Artifact Spirit of the Yin Yang Platform suddenly sparked Li Hong's Divine Consciousness; he jumped up in excitement and exclaimed: "Yin Yang Platform! I actually forgot about my Yin Yang Platform!"
Li Hong's heart soared with joy; after a while, he calmed down and carefully communicated with the Artifact Spirit: "Where are you referring to? Is it this Anti-Space?"
"No, Master. Ordinary people cannot enter this Anti-Space because the Spiritual Energy here is too dense; it would burst them apart. But the true space is different. The true space is equivalent to the primordial chaos space; if mortals are taken in there, they will feel very uncomfortable but won't die."
"In what way will they feel uncomfortable?"
"I'm not sure because no mortal has ever been taken in before, but those with cultivation are very afraid and uncomfortable; how much worse would it be for mortals? I can only guarantee they won't die."
"This, I might as well experience this feeling myself." Li Hong grabbed his scalp, and with a thought, he entered the Anti-Space.
Sure enough, it was a chaotic realm, suspended in mid-air with no ground or sky to touch. The sensation of weightlessness made one feel uneasy from the depths of their heart. Li Hong pondered for a moment and soon understood.
Ordinary people, having little experience, would surely be frightened in such a place. If they started to panic and move around wildly, innocent bystanders would inevitably get hurt. To prevent ordinary people from becoming anxious and causing trouble, it was actually quite simple; all that was needed was to make them fall asleep before entering. Achieving this was incredibly easy; using the celestial herbs in Anti-Space, Li Hong could concoct at least seven or eight types of medicine on the spot.
"How much can you store?"
"I don't know, Master. I've never stored anything before, but the space is quite large. We can try until we can't store anymore."
"Alright, let's do it!"
Li Hong laughed heartily as he exited the Yin Yang Platform.
Seeing Li Hong's expression, Heavenly Torch knew he had found a solution. He immediately summoned Fuxi Xuanyuan, and the four of them discussed the plan.
The ordinary people were still gathering in the fields. Xuan Yuan and over a thousand Rebels disciples soared high into the air, announcing loudly to the ordinary people that those under eighteen years old and children would be prioritized for safe transport to Xu Yang Immortal Palace. They were advised not to bring any food or water, as less was better since they would reach Xu Yang Immortal Palace very quickly.
Upon hearing this, all the ordinary citizens erupted in excitement. Many rushed back along the path they came from, shouting, "Father is here! My child, now you have a way out!"
This time, the speed was unprecedented; within just two hours, all the children from Xiaoyao City had gathered and formed a long line heading toward a large tent set up in the center of the field.
Around the venue, a long rope was pulled up to keep parents and family members outside. Xuanyuan Disciples held onto this rope to maintain order amidst the chaos.
Many parents wanted to catch one last glimpse of their children. Inside, most of the children obediently lined up and moved forward; however, occasionally some would turn around and break away from the line to run toward their parents. At such times, Xuanyuan Disciples had no choice but to fly out and bring the children back. This led to heartbroken parents outside crying out in anguish. The scene was filled with cries of separation and despair that tugged at one's heartstrings.
Li Hong sat calmly in the center of the large tent, listening to the thunderous cries from outside, feeling quite unsettled inside. In his youth, he had also experienced separations and losses while fighting for survival; he could deeply empathize with the feelings of those ordinary parents outside. However, at this moment, there was no time for such thoughts; he needed to focus on getting things done quickly.
At the entrance of the tent stood a large water tank, filled with the medicinal soup prepared by Li Hong, exuding a faint herbal aroma. Heavenly Torch was assisting with hundreds of Xuanyuan Disciples. Each child was fed a spoonful of the soup and quickly fell unconscious, being laid aside until Li Hong determined whether they had entered a deep sleep, after which they were continuously sent to the Yin Yang Platform.
Nearly fifty thousand children, some still infants who couldn't even walk, were being processed. Despite the efforts of over a hundred people working tirelessly, the speed was still too slow. Li Hong decided to increase the dosage of the soup and simply pulled up a stool to sit at the entrance of the tent, allowing Heavenly Torch and others to continuously bring children to him.
By the time the last child was collected, three days had passed. Li Hong let out a long sigh. He immediately extended his Divine Consciousness into the Yin Yang Platform to contact the Artifact Spirit: "How is it? Is there still space?"
"Yes, I just counted; we can still accommodate about fifty thousand adults."
Fifty thousand! But there were nearly two hundred thousand people outside! A heavy feeling settled in Li Hong's heart as his gaze swept over the faces of the Xuanyuan Disciples inside the tent. These individuals also had their own loved ones.
Li Hong said solemnly, "Who among you will go and invite the two Ancestors in?"
Xi He and Xuan Yuan hurriedly arrived. During these three days, they had not been idle either; they had been tallying the remaining population along with Azure Wind Antelope and supplies. The three gathered their findings, each feeling quite heavy-hearted.
Xiaoyao City had over three thousand Azure Wind Antelope, and with Fuxi's contribution this time, there were more than four thousand in total. However, at least one-third would be needed for carrying equipment and supplies, meaning only over two thousand could carry people. Even at full capacity, that would only transport forty thousand people. Adding in Li Hong's use of the Yin Yang Platform for transporting people still left them with only ninety thousand; there were still one hundred thousand mortals without any hope.
Li Hong proposed, "I will take some people to Xu Yang Immortal Palace first to drop off this batch of mortals, then return for more. At most, I will push myself to travel at top speed."
Fuxi sighed and said, "That's still not feasible. Even if we could take everyone away, we cannot sustain so many mortals at Xu Yang Immortal Palace. Xu Yang Immortal Palace is under Pure Yang Master as Immortal Emperor; he is part of our Rebels. Over these years, he has been superficially compliant but has not strictly enforced the Fifty Absolute Kill Order. As a result, Sunrise City's population has greatly exceeded limits, and there is always a shortage of salt. In these three days, I have gathered all available salt; that aside, overall, Sunrise City's land is insufficient. Even if we could take everyone away, we still couldn't sustain so many mortals!"
Everyone in the tent fell silent. The Xuanyuan Disciples who grew up here felt this deeply and knew Fuxi spoke the truth. A heavy stone weighed on everyone's hearts; they all understood that if they did not abandon these tens of thousands of lives, they would drag down Xu Yang Immortal Palace as well.
"No! Not a single one shall be abandoned!" Li Hong had made up his mind and stood up to say: "It's settled then. Regardless of whether Xu Yang Immortal Palace can sustain so many mortals or not, we must take all these mortals away! This immortal realm will eventually be shattered by us! Before we can't sustain these mortals anymore, we will surely find a way!"
"Right! My brother is right; whether we can take them all now is one issue; whether we can sustain them later is another matter. Once we have taken everyone away, we will find ways to support them! Hmph! I don't believe that with all our strength combined we can't sustain two hundred thousand mortals! If that hidden hand dares to intervene, then good! We will expose him and smash this immortal realm to pieces; we'll open a passage to the lower realm and lead everyone out!" Heavenly Torch shouted with clenched fists.
"Yes!" Surprisingly, it was not Fuxi or Xuanyuan who responded first but rather over a hundred Xuanyuan Disciples in the tent. They echoed in unison, each clenching their fists like Heavenly Torch.
Xi He and Xuan Yuan exchanged a glance and nodded heavily. "Since everyone thinks this way, let's proceed as planned."
"Notify everyone, the women will go first. The men will wait here for three months. Within three months, we will definitely return to take them away," Li Hong declared loudly.
It is important to note that the Xu Yang Immortal Palace and the Celestial Palace of Leisure are separated by countless miles. The Azure Wind Antelope takes over two years for a one-way journey. Li Hong guaranteed a round trip in three months, which was already his limit. It required non-stop flying day and night, posing a significant challenge for Li Hong himself. However, for the lives of one hundred thousand mortals, Li Hong was prepared to risk everything.
The women were quickly gathered together again. Taking advantage of the time while others were still lining up outside, Li Hong pulled Xi He and Xuan Yuan aside, saying, "Fuxi, you must come with me because you need to guide me and also stay in Sunrise City to settle the mortals. I think we can leave the team crossing the Desert with Xuan Yuan and Heavenly Torch. The remaining men should be left under the supervision of Xuan Yuan's disciples. I'm worried that without us, these mortals might cause trouble. Leaving Xuan Yuan's disciples here is the best solution. As a reward, the relatives of Xuan Yuan's disciples can have priority access to the Yin Yang Platform."
Fuxi immediately agreed, and Xuan Yuan, seeing the eager expressions of his disciples, also nodded silently.
This arrangement would ensure that Xuanyuan Disciples had no worries left behind, which was also a bit of Li Hong's selfishness; after all, they were disciples of the Yellow Emperor and part of his own group. Li Hong felt inclined to favor his own people.
Thus, the matter was settled. About three thousand family members of Xuanyuan Disciples—regardless of gender—entered the Yin Yang Platform first, followed by Xi He leading fifty thousand mortal women inside. This was already the maximum capacity of the Yin Yang Platform.
Li Hong immediately set off with Fuxi, racing against time towards Xu Yang Immortal Palace.
