Cultivating Immortality in the Winter Wasteland.

Chapter 824 Assault Squad

Master Yun'ao led the six people to the imperial city of the Great Chu in no time.

The Great Chu now has no experts at the Integration Stage, and they marched in unimpeded, with no one able to stop them.

Ancestor Yun'ao stood at the heart of the Great Chu Imperial City, his divine sense spreading out.

His divine sense was extremely terrifying, sweeping across the entire imperial city in an instant, and even penetrating deep underground.

At that moment, a coffin in a tomb underground suddenly trembled.

Ancestor Yun'ao said calmly, "It's a great pity that no one has refined the corpse of a cultivator at the peak of the Integration Realm."

At this moment, he stretched out his large hand, and a large hand stretched out from the void and slammed down with a loud bang!
Beneath the Great Chu lies a stone coffin, within which is sealed the body of a Great Chu prince.

He was at the peak of the Integration Realm in life, and his body did not decay after death. He also possessed a simple consciousness, but he was limited by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and remained dormant within it for a long time.

However, after the death of the Emperor of Great Chu, this secret was not passed down, which led to the fact that the powerful figures of Great Chu were unaware of this. They assumed that no one was guarding it and prepared to rebel without hesitation.

At that moment, the large hand slammed down, instantly triggering a strange change in the prince's corpse inside the coffin.

Suddenly the coffin cracked open, and a magnificent figure stood up straight.

This is a burly man whose muscles exude terrifying explosive power.

He was wearing a thick suit of armor, the black armor still bearing many faint bloodstains, clearly indicating that this prince had a very strong murderous aura in his lifetime, having fought in the south and north, killing many masters.

At this moment, the prince's remaining consciousness let out a roar and he threw a punch!
This punch was incredibly powerful; even the Grand Elder of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land hadn't made such a move before.

However, although the prince's corpse was extremely domineering, it was powerless to resist this giant hand.

The giant hand slammed down, pinning him to the ground. He was quickly pulled out by the hand and thrown to the ground with a thud.

Ancestor Yun'ao said calmly, "It's a pity that the descendants of the Great Chu didn't know there was such a corpse underground and didn't know how to make use of it."

The prince's corpse then let out a roar, howling and trying to rush forward.

However, the aura released by Ancestor Yun'ao suppressed him.

Ancestor Yun'ao raised his hand and erased his remaining consciousness, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"It's just right to refine it into a Heavenly Armor Corpse."

After saying that, Master Yun'ao took out a talisman.

The talisman shone brightly in the air, and suddenly drew a stream of light that entered the space between the eyebrows of the Prince of Da Chu.

Immediately, countless golden threads sprouted from the body of the Prince of Da Chu, quickly wrapping him up and turning him into a large cocoon.

The cocoon soon broke, and the Prince of Great Chu emerged from the palace once more. This time, his skin had turned golden, and his aura was more than twice as strong as before.

The methods of Master Yun'ao are simply astonishing.

At this moment, the other immortals from the Great Flame Heaven who had come with him were also very impressed.

One of the beautiful female Taoist priests, with her whisk draped over her arm, couldn't help but sigh in admiration upon witnessing Master Yun'ao's fluid and graceful movements.

"As expected of a Tribulation Transcending expert, he easily suppressed this peak Integration stage corpse and refined it into a Heavenly Armor Corpse in a short time, and it was even a rare golden color."

The Heavenly Armor Corpse comes in three colors: bronze, silver, and gold, with gold being the best.

Master Yun'ao was in a wonderful mood.

"There are indeed some resources in the lower realm that are not easy to obtain even in the upper realm. Otherwise, how could I have obtained a Heavenly Armor Corpse so easily?"

Ancestor Yun'ao took this Heavenly Armor Corpse under his command, and the others, respecting him, dared not say anything.

If another Tribulation Transcending stage expert were to descend now, it would likely spark a struggle for power.

However, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth has not been completely changed. Ancestor Yun'ao himself paid a great price, expending countless rare treasures to barely open the passage and send himself down.

As the leader of this team, he naturally had to plunder it back as quickly as possible.

Ancestor Yun'ao smiled slightly: "Not only can we refine the fortune to make the Earth God Seal, but we can also take the opportunity to explore these treasures. Hehe, what do these juniors in the lower realm know about good and bad?"

An old man in blue robes said, "Shall we begin refining the destiny of the Great Chu now?"

Ancestor Yun'ao smiled slightly: "We can refine it now. There isn't even a single Nascent Soul stage expert in the imperial city, only this Nascent Soul stage corpse. And I've already captured it. I don't think they can cause any trouble."

The group nodded, and they all began to refine the fortune of the Great Chu.

If a master of astrology were to observe, they would discover that the fortune of the Great Chu was constantly gathering and condensing towards a certain area within the imperial city.

The imperial city is the core where the entire Great Chu's fortune converges, but the rest of Great Chu's fortune is also scattered everywhere, and at this moment it is converging on the royal city at a frantic speed.

The powerful figures of Great Chu looked at each other in bewilderment, and soon someone led a group to go there.

A large group of people went to welcome the immortal.

"The immortal possesses great magical power and has come to the mortal realm to spread civilization. We are willing to follow the immortal and become pioneers and messengers."

At this moment, the old man in green robes who was refining his fortune went out at the signal of Ancestor Yun'ao and said indifferently, "Although you are all commoners from the lower realm, you know how to assess the situation."

At this moment, a royal relative of the Great Chu Dynasty respectfully said, "We do not know the name of the immortal, but we can build a temple for the immortal and offer incense."

The old man in green smiled slightly: "I am Cang Qingzi. There is no need to build a temple. You should immediately issue a summons to the world. You are now worshipping the Great Yan Heaven. The Great Yan Heaven is a celestial realm. If you do your job well, you will be given elixirs in the future, and immortality will be within your grasp."

Hearing the old man in blue say this, these people were overjoyed.

The people of Da Yan Tian were so generous, so easily promising an elixir of immortality. Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

They knew that even reaching the Integration Stage wouldn't grant immortality, so they had high expectations for the Immortal Realm.

They quickly spread the news through formations in various locations.
In an instant, the entire intelligence system of the Great Chu was put into operation. They wanted to regard the Great Yan Heaven as the Immortal Realm, and the dream of future cultivators would be to ascend to the Great Yan Heaven.

……

At this moment, the Dao Ning World was also shaken.

The powerful figures from the major forces met via communication artifacts, but the Great Chu side fell silent.

The Great Chu quickly replied: "We are willing to follow the Great Yan Angels. Since ancient times, immortals have been superior to mortals. What is wrong with mortals relying on the immortal realm? Fellow Daoists, there is no need to be overly attached."

Seeing the message lit up on the Taoist communication panel, the old monk from Bodhi Holy Land couldn't help but frown, thinking to himself, "Who from Great Chu is speaking? Why does it reek of shamelessness?"

At this moment, he had a jade plate in his hand, and several important figures in the Dao Alliance each had one. It was something similar to a WeChat group, where people could have group chats.

Seeing the vibrating message in his hand, the old monk's expression changed slightly. "It seems the Yin-Yang Dao people also intend to pledge allegiance."

The old monk from the Bodhi Holy Land raised an eyebrow.

The people from the Great Flame Heaven have descended, and according to the mountain guardian of the Wuwei Dao Sect, they should be a powerful expert in the Tribulation Transcending stage.

Even a Tribulation Transcending stage expert would likely only have a slim chance of survival if all the Integration stage experts from the Dao Ning world joined forces against them, and even that chance would be extremely slim.

Damn it, the Great Chu didn't even reveal the full strength of the Great Yan Heaven. Everyone only gradually learned the information through their spies in the Great Chu.

Several days later, the people from the other major powers discovered that the human landscape had changed, and the fate of the entire Great Chu had actually changed hands!

They felt as if there was a special force suppressing them within the Great Chu territory, as if they had separated from the previous Dao Ning world. However, they had not separated spatially; it was just that their sense of belonging was different.

Everyone was somewhat surprised at this moment.

The old monk's face was ashen, and perhaps this was the crux of the problem. It seemed that their descent to the mortal realm was not merely about plundering resources and establishing faith; fortune was also of great importance to them.

The Dao Alliance is a loose organization that usually exchanges information and shares resources.

The old monk of Bodhi Holy Land was very determined to resist the Great Flame Heaven, but in the end he only united a few forces, namely the Great Zhou, Yunshan Academy, Ancient Immortal Holy Land, and Junshan.

Both Yin-Yang Dao and Da Xia decided to remain neutral.

In fact, they will probably soon turn to the Great Yan Heaven.

As for the Great Chu

I'd already voted long ago.

The old monk of Bodhi Holy Land prepared to lead his followers to attack, but only the Nine-Colored Deer of Fuqu arrived at the appointed time.

There are no experts at the Integration Stage in the Ancient Immortal Holy Land, and once Ye Qingshuang leaves the mountain-guarding formation, her cultivation and combat power will be greatly reduced.

Apart from the Zhou Emperor, there were no other Nascent Soul stage experts in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Zhou Emperor was also on the verge of death and did not come to keep the appointment.

He urged the founding emperor of the Great Zhou to respond within the Great Zhou territory, indicating that the Great Zhou still had the strength to fight.

Fu Qu from Yunshan Academy arrived riding a nine-colored deer, bringing with him two more combatants at the Integration Stage.

Junshan also sent people, including a Nascent Soul expert.

The old monk from the Bodhi Holy Land asked, "Why hasn't Fellow Daoist Chen come?"

Fu Qu said, "Chen Wang has been in seclusion for several years."

Upon hearing this, the old monk from Bodhi Holy Land frowned slightly, sighed, and said, "The Yin-Yang Dao Great Xia has changed. It's fine if he doesn't come. Since Fellow Daoist Chen has been in seclusion for several years, there's no need to call him. The five of us are enough to launch a surprise attack."

Fu Qu smiled and said, "Although the old monk is old and stubborn, he has finally seen the light this time, which is rare."

The old monk from the Bodhi Holy Land twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth, turned his head away, and said:
"Fellow Daoist Chen has a mirror, which seems to be a magical artifact used for cultivation. Why didn't he come this time?"

Fu Qu smiled slightly, took out the mirror from his sleeve, and said, "Of course I've come."

The old monk from Bodhi Holy Land breathed a sigh of relief and said, "With Fellow Daoist Jing here, the chances of a surprise attack are even greater this time."

The Mirror God said, "Fellow Daoist, you flatter me."

The middle-aged scholar from Junshan, who had remained silent until now, suddenly spoke up: "These people from the Great Yan Heaven have come down with ulterior motives. They are refining the fortune of the entire Great Chu. Now that Great Chu has changed hands, they will certainly not let go of the other forces. It's laughable that the Yin Yang Dao and the Great Xia actually think there is still room for maneuver."

The middle-aged scholar shook his head, quite dissatisfied with these two major forces.

The old monk from Bodhi Holy Land said, "That's right, they will attack us sooner or later. We might as well concentrate our forces now and deal them a heavy blow."

The old monk's attitude was very clear. After discussing it, the group quietly sneaked into the Great Chu.

People of their cultivation level would be immediately detected upon entering the Great Chu, but thanks to the Mirror God, their presence was concealed, and they remained silent throughout the journey.

Unfortunately,
This raid ultimately ended in failure.

They didn't even have a chance to fight against the several Nascent Soul stage experts of the Great Flame Heaven. Ancestor Yun'ao's eyes were incredibly sharp, piercing through the void, and he actually saw through the location of the Mirror God and pointed at him with a finger.

Although they were separated by thousands of miles, the space shielded by the Mirror God was immediately shattered. The group worked together to withstand the attack and barely escaped, but they all coughed up blood. This blow shattered the confidence of the raiding squad.

Although the attack was resolute, their confidence was shattered by this single finger strike.

The raiding squad's first decapitation strike ended there, and the other powerful figures dispersed.

The old monk from Bodhi Holy Land was somewhat saddened. The gap between them was so vast that there was absolutely no chance of winning. He was just hoping to preserve the lineage.

…………

Within the Great Chu Imperial City, Ancestor Yun'ao was quite leisurely, as he naturally didn't need to do the dirty and tiring work of refining Qi.

Even after coming down from the scorching summer, his diet remained top-notch. Like Chen Wang, he did not practice fasting, subsisting on wind and dew, and still focused on enjoying life.

His clothes were extremely luxurious, and the people who served him in the imperial city were all extremely beautiful and pure maidens. The food he ate consisted of rare and precious treasures as well as the flesh and blood of some exotic beasts, which were cooked with exquisite techniques and were extremely delicious.

The patriarch Yun'ao, dressed in a purple robe and exuding an air of elegance, was enjoying a cup of spiritual wine poured for him by a maid. He said casually, "The countryside has a certain charm."

He originally ascended from the lower realm, but having gotten used to the immortal realm and the rich immortal energy in the Great Flame Heaven, he felt a huge difference when he returned to the mortal world, completely regarding his hometown as a poor and remote place.

The old man in blue robes who had been there earlier came in to report: "Master, the Earth God Seal will be completed in three days."

Ancestor Yun'ao was the leader of their group. Upon hearing this, Ancestor Yun'ao calmly said, "You can focus on refining it."

The old man said, "What if a local expert comes to cause trouble?"

Master Yun'ao smiled slightly: "They have already come, but I discovered them in advance, and they all fled while spitting blood."

The old man was somewhat surprised: "Although we have not yet fully refined the Earth God Seal, we can still sense the fortune of the Great Chu. If a powerful figure comes, we should be able to detect it immediately."

Master Yun'ao smiled and said, "You don't know, it's probably an old friend from back then who's been covering up the secrets for them. Don't worry, once the Great Chu Earth God Seal is refined, I'll take you to find that old friend."

Upon hearing this, the old man's heart stirred.
Who was the person the patriarch referred to as his old friend?
He suddenly became curious; the powerful figure who could shield the six of them from all senses must have possessed extraordinary abilities.

While Master Yun'ao appeared to be enjoying fine wine and beautiful women, he was able to easily detect the group that had infiltrated, and even manage to injure them from thousands of miles away. His strength was truly enviable.

"This time, refining the Earth God Seal will also be blessed with incense offerings, and I hope that I can use this merit to break through the obstacles. The Tribulation Transcending Stage is a realm that everyone dreams of." The old man in blue was full of envy.
