Cultivating Immortals in Two Worlds: From Qing Fu to Primordial Chaos

Chapter 428 Another 'Position Grab'

This is the eighth fundamental principle he comprehended.

The primordial fire, infused with the power of Nirvana, seems to possess a unique concept.

Yang Huaineng could clearly sense a miraculous power within himself.

Even if the flame is extinguished one day, it can be reborn.

However, this power of rebirth is still weak.

He needs to continuously explore the characteristics of this power.

Yang Huai became somewhat proficient, and he calmed down, focusing his attention on the final primordial source.

This primordial source was the most difficult for him.

The stronger the origin of the Great Dao, the more difficult it is for it to break free from its constraints.

However, if he can successfully establish his own path again, the benefits will be immense.

Yang Huai calmed down.

He rediscovered the profound mysteries of the primordial origin.

He first created the "Primordial Fire Spirit True Scripture," and then began to deduce from a point of primordial foundation in the primordial fire.

The primordial fire was the first ray of fire, the first ray of light, and the first ray of pure yang in the world.

Yang Huai comprehended the primordial origin in order to strengthen this innate source and thus enhance the foundation of the primordial fire.

Only a strong foundation can build an unparalleled legacy.

Yang Huai secluded himself deep within the Pure Land of Ten Directions to cultivate.

On the desolate land, the Emperor's Palace's campaigns against the gods did not cease.

Wars raged frequently across the land.

Inside the Emperor's Palace.

Yan Ju's body radiated an even more intense purple aura of imperial power.

After many human tribes gradually submitted to the Human Emperor's Palace, the Human Emperor's Dao that he cultivated within him grew stronger and stronger.

Even the gods dared not look directly at him.

Inside the palace, the gods were holding a meeting.

The gods are discussing their next target for conquest.

The Human Emperor Palace has now completely swallowed up the territory of the Heavenly Heart Palace in the North. The gods of the Human Emperor Palace have also made a fortune from this, and now is the perfect time to boost morale.

Below them are the two ancient gods, Yuanji and Antarctic Celestial Venerables.

Both gods had recently benefited, and there were smiles on their faces.

At the head of the table are nearly twenty or more ancient gods of the True One God Realm.

This is the foundation of the Emperor's Palace.

Perhaps because the Wilderness Land has a rich and abundant origin, the number of Ancient Gods and Celestial Venerables in the Wilderness Land is far greater than that of the True One God Realm Ancient Gods and Celestial Venerables in the Purple Mansion Heaven Realm.

This is also directly related to the number of innate deities.

A large number of innate deities make it easier for ancient gods to be born into the True One God Realm.

In the center of the main hall were many immortals and gods from the Primordial God Realm.

They are the backbone of the Human Emperor's Palace, and also geniuses.

Only a small number of powerful beings at the Origin God Realm who wield real power can attend the Human Emperor's Palace. There are about a hundred of them, and they have no right to speak; they are merely there to listen.

At this moment, one of the ancient gods below stood up and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, it is now time to launch a siege against the Xuanming tribe!"

He was a handsome young man with a resolute face, wearing a white and black robe, and exuding an extraordinary air.

This is a rising star of the Jiang clan, named Jiang Zhenwu.

It was also the birthplace of an unparalleled genius from the Jiang family.

The other gods nodded to each other secretly.

Now, there are only a few tough nuts to crack on the northern land.

Besides the eighty-one large and small tribes led by the Jiuli tribe, there is also the Xuanming tribe.

As for the other hundreds of tribes, large and small, they have all expressed their submission to the royal palace.

On the throne, Yan Ju pondered to himself.

"Hou Yi, Jiu Feng!"

Zhu Rong had already conveyed the message to him.

These two people couldn't forget him, and he just happened to be unable to forget them either.

However, the Xuanming tribe is one of the core tribes under the rule of the Earth Emperor Palace, and any action taken will inevitably provoke a counterattack from the powerful members of the Earth Emperor Palace.

Yanju doesn't want to fight the Earthly Palace to the death right now.

But he also had a way to cause the gods of the Xuanming tribe to die slowly.

His gaze shifted and landed on one of the Jiang clan elders standing to the side.

This is one of his deities, and also an elder of the Yan Emperor's tribe.

Jiang Yun understood and immediately spoke up.

"In my opinion, this matter should not be rushed. The Xuanming Tribe is different from the Tianxin Palace!"

He spoke eloquently.

"The Xuanming Tribe is one of the twelve original tribes, with a foundation that surpasses that of the Heavenly Heart Palace. It also has the secret support of some descendants of the twelve tribes. It would be better to proceed slowly, first blunt their momentum, and then devise a plan to encircle and annihilate them."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhenwu's eyes flickered slightly. Seeing that Yan Ju's expression remained unchanged, he did not continue speaking.

He knew that Jiang Yun and Chi Longzi were different from ordinary elders.

Although these two have not yet reached the realm of true gods, they possess the authority of the sun god.

All the gods in the Yan Emperor tribe possessed the Dharma Image of the Great Sun, but not all of them could condense the true authority of the Sun God.

This explains the status of the two ancient gods, Chi Longzi and Jiang Yun; they belonged to his absolute confidants.

A black-clad goddess suddenly laughed beside her.

"Your Majesty, I suggest we start with a transaction tax to first prohibit the Xuanming tribe from trading with other tribes. In addition, we should support the Three Mountain Tribes and the Jintian Clan surrounding the Xuanming tribe!"

Upon hearing this, the gods showed slight surprise.

"Below," said Chi Longzi with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanguang's words are excellent. If you want to behead him, first seize his vital spot!"

Yan Ju glanced at the two of them and smiled slightly, as this coincided with his own thoughts.

His years as emperor were unlike those of other emperors.

It not only improved the intelligence system of the Emperor's Palace, but also built a complete foreign trade system.

Because he knew that supporting the numerous subordinate gods in the Emperor's palace, and even the various departments and offices under his command, required enormous financial support.

Over the years, he has established trade markets in various places under the name of the Human Emperor Palace, breaking down the barriers between the major tribes that prevented them from easily trading with the outside world.

At the same time, some units of measurement were standardized, and a preliminary unified monetary system was established.

It has already yielded remarkable results.

In addition to making the Yan Emperor tribe more prosperous and wealthy in recent years.

The various tribes, captivated by his methods, gradually submitted to his rule.

Moreover, thanks to the financial support from various trade markets and merchants in the wilderness, the number of powerful figures under the command of the Human Emperor Palace is also increasing.

The twenty-odd True God Realm experts present, along with hundreds of Origin God Realm experts, all require cultivation resources. And this applies not only to the land.

The Human Emperor Palace's businesses also opened in Zhou Tian Xing Hai.

All of this business was handed over to another ancient god who was hiding in the shadows.

The one in charge of bestowing the title of Heavenly Venerable is the God of Wealth.

It is also a trump card that Yanju has hidden.

After a moment's hesitation, he spoke.

"By my decree, Jiufeng, as a tribe of the Earth, has disobeyed the Emperor's orders. This is a grave offense. From this day forward, all tribes are forbidden from trading with the Xuanming tribe. Those who violate this order will be severely punished by the Emperor's Palace and will be subject to punitive expeditions!"

"In addition, all businesses and sects on Earth are prohibited from engaging in private transactions with the Xuanming Tribe. Violators will be severely punished by the Imperial Palace and the Ministry of Finance of the Heavenly Court!"

The gods each had a different face.

It is conceivable that as this ban takes effect, it will have a significant impact on the cultivation of the gods of the Xuanming tribe.

After all, cultivation requires a great deal of resources.

On the throne, Yan Ju spoke again.

"In addition, we will increase the transaction tax on the Jiuli tribe by 45% on top of the normal transaction tax. Unless the Jiuli tribe submits to the Human Emperor Palace, the Human Emperor Palace will continue to increase the transaction tax three years later!"

The gods looked at each other and nodded to each other.

As deities, they naturally knew the consequences of the Emperor's Palace's actions.

If this continues, the wealth of the Jiuli tribe will gradually be plundered by the Human Emperor's Palace. Without the support of these cultivation resources, the internal conflicts within the Jiuli tribe will continue to intensify.

However, it is probably impossible to completely extinguish the life force of the Jiuli and Xuanming tribes.

After all, they have the Netherworld behind them.

But it can sever the connection between the two major tribes and other tribes on the land, isolating them.

This will create a favorable opportunity for the subsequent actions of the imperial palace.

"Your Majesty's reputation is illustrious!"

The gods all rose and spoke.

There was a hint of relief in the eyes of the gods.

With this move, the momentum of the Jiuli and Xuanming tribes can be greatly reduced, making it much easier to take action later.

On his throne, Yan Ju watched this scene with a flicker of emotion in his eyes.

Yan Ju's relationship with the Earthly Emperor Palace is not bad. Back then, he even assisted the Earthly Empress Hou Tu in perfecting the Nine Netherworld. His Daoist partner Chang Xi is still teaching many Yin Gods in the Underworld Moon and has transformed into the Holy Mother of the Underworld Moon.

But now that the imperial palace wants to take action against him, he can't be blamed for acting in advance.

Deep down, Yan Ju had another thought at this moment.

Deep down, he harbored a desire to abdicate.

The longer he held the throne of the Human Emperor, the more ancient gods wanted to take action against him.

He is not the Heavenly Emperor Shennong.

Behind them is the unwavering support of the Three Pure Ones of the Xuanmen.

His situation is becoming increasingly dangerous.

It's likely that Hou Yi isn't the only one in the desolate wilderness, and Jiu Feng wants to take action against him.

Apart from that, his role in the Emperor's Palace is already limited.

He is different from Taiwei Daoist; he does not follow the path of the Heavenly Emperor.

The benefits that were due have basically been obtained, and there is no need to take such a big risk for these benefits.

Of course, he had other considerations as well.

By this time, Emperor Hong had grown up.

On the contrary, Da You is still in the Origin God Realm.

This is the opportunity for Emperor Hong.

If we wait for Dayou to grow up, the Dihong clan will lose its advantage and it will be difficult to deal with the Jiuli tribe.

This tactic is also called 'positioning'!
With a thought, he transformed into a stream of light and headed towards the Heavenly Court.

He needs to discuss this matter with the Heavenly Emperor Shennong.

……

Meanwhile, as the decrees of the Emperor's Palace came into effect, the northern tribes moved in response.

One by one, they began to tighten border controls, while simultaneously adding the gods of the Xuanming tribe to their trade 'blacklist'.

Deep down, they may not be afraid of the Human Emperor's Palace, but many tribes know that the Human Emperor's Palace has the ability to cause them significant damage.

Because the source of many special natural treasures on the desolate land is under the control of the Human Emperor's Palace, if the Human Emperor's Palace raises the price of these natural treasures or imposes a transaction tax on them, it will be an unbearable burden for many tribes.

Moreover, Emperor Yan also controlled two special resources from the wild and desolate land.

One is a medicinal pill, the other is a magical artifact.

It is almost a technological monopoly.

Especially high-level elixirs and magical artifacts.

If they anger the Human Emperor's Palace, the Human Emperor's Palace might sell these resources to their rival tribes, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

The Xuanming tribe is located in the central region of the north, a region that is quite rich.

Hundreds of massive and majestic cities guarded the central Xuanming City.

When Jiufeng, the leader of the Xuanming tribe, learned of the ban issued by the Human Emperor's Palace, his face darkened.

The Emperor Palace's move was intended to sever the Xuanming tribe's lifeline.

A beautiful goddess standing nearby saw this scene but hesitated to speak, though she eventually did.

"Clan leader, the clan is currently facing a severe shortage of rare and precious medicinal herbs for cleansing bloodlines and healing wounds. In addition, the order of various cities has been greatly disrupted, and many city lords are complaining bitterly..."

As descendants of the twelve original tribes.

The Xuanming tribe are staunch supporters of the ancient god's way.

Although the ancient path of the gods has been improved in many ways and has become a common path of blood and evil body refinement, the shortage of rare and precious materials is still enormous.

Although the Xuanming tribe has some reserves, they cannot sustain it for long.

The Xuanming tribe still relies on trade with the outside world for these essential resources.

As for other nobles, the losses suffered by merchants were even greater.

Jiufeng snorted coldly.

"What are you complaining about? They've taken so many benefits from me, and they can't even handle the smallest thing?"

"Tell them to swallow their bitterness and keep it to themselves!"

"I will find a way!"

Seeing this, the goddess in black nodded softly.

Jiufeng still had some lingering anger on her face.

Behind her is the Imperial Palace; her lifeline won't be so easily seized.

He immediately flashed and headed towards the Nine Netherworld.

In the Netherworld, she also met Da You, the Holy Stone Celestial Venerable, who had rushed over.
