Shangyuque

Chapter 294 Alas, separated by countless mountains, alas, separated by countless mountains!

The Cave Heaven Method is a dead end for Wang Yulou now, and it is also a dead end for the vast majority of Golden Core cultivators who will achieve enlightenment after Wang Yulou.

Therefore, even if the transformation of the grotto-heaven begins now, allowing one to avoid the tribulation of lightning, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable will still not transform.

If given a choice, no one would choose between dying early or dying late. That would be too absurd.

Of course, if I really had to choose one, I would definitely choose to die later.
However, when Wang Yulou, who was in the Foundation Establishment stage, faced the invitation from the Rakshasa, he might have thought that leaving the Great World meant death.

But as his perspective broadened, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable was naturally able to see the Demon Emperor's ambitions.

The world beyond the heavens did not appear out of thin air. The great age of exploration belonging to the immortals may have already begun, but most people could not participate.

In the vast universe, the conflict between Bifang and the Boluo Society has drawn away the immortals who are capable of long-distance travel and discovering other realms, so Rakshasa needs someone to help him with this matter.

Finding loyal henchmen among one's own subordinates is certainly an option, but Lao Luo's ambitions are much greater. He doesn't even care whether Xiao Wang will betray him in the future—he's confident he can control him.

Just like how Xiao Wang dared to give Yi Zou Ri Zi Fu a chance.

Perhaps, in the eyes of the Demon King, the young king is just a young man worth trying out—he is still a child.

Six months later, on an ordinary day, a commotion suddenly broke out again on the Immortal Terrace.

The Jade Palace Immortal Venerable was holding a model of an immortal city he had designed, explaining its mysteries to his fellow cultivators on the Immortal Platform.

"The Immortal City must be built. The territory of Shengxian Prefecture is the weakest area in our Immortal Alliance's operations."

Building a celestial city provides a solid foundation, which is beneficial at the level of the Celestial Alliance, the Shengxian Prefecture, and the Qunxiantai.

Regarding this city, I have discussed it many times with fellow Daoists Rakshasa, Bull Demon, Golden Valley Garden, East Luo Road, Li Xian, and Immortal Dragon King.

The basic structure consists of seven cities, one mountain, and four sects.

Where there are people, there is conflict. After Jade Palace Immortal Venerable attained enlightenment, in addition to facing difficulties in cultivation, he also faced new challenges in internal strife.

Cultivation is difficult, and it is also difficult for someone with the cultivation level of a Celestial Venerable to participate in internal strife and win.

"Seven cities? Seventy percent? Wang Yulou, are you crazy or have you eaten too much donkey meat and it's blocked your brain?"

Where there is barking, there is always a Heavenly Serpent. No matter what the reason, the Heavenly Serpent may look like a snake, but it is actually the number one mad dog in the Sendai.

As a being at the half-step Golden Immortal level, its arrogance might be a cultivation strategy of actively and deeply participating in the Immortal Alliance's power struggle.

There's no need to underestimate it, but there's even less need to be afraid of it.

"Shut your bitch!"

Wang Yulou spat out a curse, then immediately ignored the Heavenly Serpent's barking and continued.

"The seven cities correspond to the seven states of the Immortal Alliance. Each state sends a Purple Mansion to be stationed in one of the seven cities to protect Shengxian Mountain."

Shengxian Mountain is a mountain. After the Unicorn Dragon Cave Heaven returned to the Great Heaven and Earth, we can take action and use our great supernatural powers to transform the essence of Heaven and Earth that had been scattered from the Cave Heaven into a mountain range.

This brings many benefits. The mountain range itself contains the essence of the Unicorn Dragon Demon God's Cave, which can serve as the core of defense, playing a similar role to the Wunan Cliff.

In addition, the construction of seven cities around the mountain range, drawing on the experience of the Western Sea, can effectively help the Immortal Alliance alleviate internal pressure.

At the same time, the process of relieving internal pressure is also a process of continuous updating and iteration of the core execution layer at the grassroots level of the Immortal Alliance.

Whether someone puts their heart into something or not is something that can truly be compared.

While others were trying to build immortal cities, some thought of smashing the immortal alliance's immortal city and building their own, but ended up getting themselves into the immortal king's gluttonous stomach.

It's hard to judge. When he smashed the West Sea, Shenguang looked like a respectable man, almost ready to be served. He exuded an air of superiority, leaving Wang Yulou, who was still a young Kalami, completely stunned.

However.
It doesn't even consider its own strength.

I also say, 'I am not a boat, I am divine light.'

In the end, it was just a snack for the Celestial King, not even deserving a simple "delicious" compliment.

Laughable, pitiful, and lamentable.

And what about the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable?

Shengxian Immortal City?

Wrong!

It consists of seven small immortal cities, to be shared among fellow Daoists from the seven states of the Immortal Alliance!

By combining the allocation of the Unicorn Flood Dragon Demon God's Cave Heaven with the establishment of the Immortal City, the value of internal strife can be maximized.

Do you lead the construction of the immortal city and then fill it with people?

No, this is an opportunity for the Fourth Faction to seize control of the distribution of the Unicorn Flood Dragon Demon God's Cave Heaven under the guise of building the Immortal City.

This thing looks incredibly abstract because the war between the Immortal Alliance and the Four Seas Alliance was won by leaps and bounds thanks to a few promises and orders from the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

In theory, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable has the right to do something about the allocation of the Unicorn Dragon Demon God's Cave Heaven.

In reality, due to Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's strength, status, and seniority, at the level of the Immortal Platform, he was just like those unlucky souls who died in battle but couldn't even receive compensation—he belonged to the very edge of the margins.

The value of enlightenment, built upon the reforms and the complex contradictions of the universe before enlightenment, has disappeared after enlightenment.

It can be said that the overall design of "seven cities, one mountain, and four sects" is another beginning for Jade Palace Immortal Venerable to challenge the power stage of the Immortal Alliance after losing his former base.

This is not merely a struggle for power and profit; it is also a real, crucial, and unavoidable spiritual practice.

We can't really start a battle of wits right now, can we?

Stop joking, the number one genius in the world isn't that stupid.

If you're criticized for being weak, just accept it. Endure it for thousands of years, and you'll find peace and tranquility.

"The core executive layer of the Immortal Alliance is constantly being updated and iterated. Wang Yulou, you still haven't forgotten about reform?"

Jinglan is playing the straight man this time, so if you want to be invincible in internal power struggles, you can't just focus on internal matters.

The core essence of internal strife lies in appropriately introducing variables into a relatively balanced internal situation.

Just a little bit is enough to change a lot.

"No, no, the era of reform has come to an end. Once the cultivators on the front lines have completed their final merit conferment, this matter will be completely concluded."

But fellow Daoists, our Immortal Alliance has in fact become the number one power in the Great World. Of course, we may still be somewhat wary of the Immortal Kingdom, but that's not important.

As the most powerful force in the world, we must take precautions.

Years have passed, and still no one has made a move against the Four Seas Alliance. Looking back, if our Immortal Alliance had fallen into this trap, what would the situation be like now?

The world is undergoing a transformation unprecedented in ten thousand years. Maintaining the vitality of the Immortal Alliance as a whole and being prepared at all times is of utmost necessity.

While the Jade Palace Immortal was still talking eloquently, the Water Venerable had already begun communicating with Cangshan.

"The Four Seas Alliance might really be a scam. After the Old Man of the Basket, the two forces most capable of influencing the fate of the world, besides our Immortal Alliance, are the Heavenly Dragon Hall."

Shui Zun sighed with emotion, realizing that the advantage gained on the front lines was real.

There weren't many dramatic events; the lives of lower-level cultivators were not even numbers in the eyes of the Immortal Ascension Platform. They were merely the necessary price to pay on the road to victory.

On the brink of death, when the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable was on the verge of a perilous choice, lay the ambition of the elders of the Immortal Platform to continue winning, and the possible conspiracy of the Heavenly Dragon Hall.

"It's hard to say. If our Immortal Alliance doesn't act, other forces won't dare to either. Whether the Heavenly Dragon Hall or the Immortal Alliance has more influence on the overall situation of the world is a matter of opinion."

Cangshan offered another perspective—it was precisely because the Immortal Alliance remained inactive that other forces did not move.

"It seems unlikely that a fight will break out now, as the fourth faction has absolutely no intention of pushing forward."

Furthermore, Wang Yulou proposed a plan to divide the spoils among the four horses.

Shui Zun actually approves of Xiao Wang; he approves of him quite a bit.

Putting everything else aside, Xiao Wang's organizational skills, his clear understanding of the situation, and his grasp of the overall trend and the struggle between contradictions and conflicts are at the level of a Celestial Venerable.

There aren't so many layers of conspiracies; the battles at the Immortal Venerable level are mostly open confrontations—you can't treat your opponent like an idiot.

Therefore, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, who attained enlightenment relatively late, was able to adapt to the Immortal Venerable's cultivation rhythm quite smoothly after understanding the key points of these games.

Moreover, as the executor of the Immortal Alliance's reforms, he has been deeply involved in the Immortal Alliance's current development and key turning points over the past century.

Such a person is indeed a very good leader, able to propose the plan of "seven cities, one mountain, and four sects", which surprised no one on the Immortal Platform.

'You agree?' Cangshan was unsure whether Shuizun wanted to get him to support Yuque Xianzun.

He actually supports Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's plan, but if Water Venerable supports it, he will oppose it. Well, partially oppose it.

"I'm fine with anything." The Water Lord is still the same Water Lord; no matter how the plan changes, he always gets the biggest share.

"The four sects correspond to the four fellow Daoists: Water Venerable, Demon Emperor, Cangshan, and Qingrui. Each sect has one Purple Mansion cultivator."

Wang Yulou's introduction to the four sects was quite absurd; he only said one sentence and then skipped over it.

But everyone understood that this was the key to the allocation of the Unicorn Flood Dragon Demon God's Cave.

Combining the allocation of the unicorn dragon demon god's grotto with the establishment of the immortal city is a brilliant move with extremely steady steps. The design of seven cities and four sects is almost like a cultivation version of the Edict of Grace.

The Immortal City was dismantled and distributed among various forces, with rules limiting the upper limit of the influence of each force on the Immortal City.

In that case, wouldn't the fourth faction have the final say?

The Eastern Extreme Sect, located right next to the Immortal City, can use the city's existence as a great barrier, while also making it extremely convenient to project its influence.

A clever scheme, a brilliant move, a good plan.

There's not much to say; the way Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is doing things basically takes into account the interests of everyone.

After all, the Qunxiantai cannot truly disregard the opinions of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, who was instrumental in promoting reforms and helping to win the 'Immortal Alliance-Four Seas Alliance' war.

"With seven sects and four major sects, and fifteen Purple Mansion experts stationed there, our Immortal Alliance's eastern frontier can be fully activated."

In the future, this '714' system will be able to unleash tremendous potential energy, giving back to the Immortal Alliance and the Prosperous Immortal State.

What are your thoughts, fellow Daoists?

We see things with our eyes.

It was done beautifully, but you can't expect us to praise your work, right?
This round of events resulted in the distribution of benefits from the Unicorn Dragon Cave Heaven. The four top-tier Immortal Venerables received two portions, the Immortal Venerables from the Seven Provinces received one portion, and Wang Yulou secured four Purple Mansion slots for the Fourth Faction on Shengxian Mountain—the Mountain Guardians.

These spots represent the incremental increase he received, but they aren't the best positions; he still needs to work hard in the wider world.

"Let's begin the decision-making process." Rakshasa skipped the discussion.

In fact, the biggest problem with the '714' system is that it requires recruiting nineteen Purple Mansions to the Great Heaven and Earth to suffer, which will cause dissatisfaction among Purple Mansions.

However, since the Jade Palace Immortal has already provided a solution, we cannot demand anything more perfect.

The interests of all parties need to be balanced, the future of the Immortal Alliance needs to be considered, and even the Immortal Venerable faces difficulties.

The decision made on the Altar of Immortals was no surprise, but Di Shui was somewhat puzzled.

"You don't seem to be in any hurry for the upcoming tribulation, my husband. Are you sure your strength can improve rapidly during the previous tribulations?"

Wang Yulou has finally figured out how to live his life these past few years.

They were busy refining treasures and building immortal cities, but they weren't in a hurry to improve their strength. They saw every little thing happening, but were anxious about it.

Oh, Wang, if you get struck by lightning, I'll not only be widowed, but I'll also have to watch your joke spread by those bastards for tens of thousands of years.

Difficult to stretch.

"Hahaha, we cultivators should use our great spirit to prove the fruit of eternal life."

"A mere tribulation of lightning, nothing to me; I regard it as nothing!"

With an air of domineering power, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable still possesses the demeanor of an immortal.

"Snapped!"

With a slap, Little Fish Immortal Venerable gave Wang Yulou's immortal buttocks.

"Are you hiding something from me?"

Wang Yulou chuckled and said.

"My wife is wise. I owed so much debt before I became an immortal."

There are many more, including those from Jinguyuan, Niumo, Dongluoche, and Luosha.

It's not easy to repay, it's very difficult to repay.

If I start repaying now, hey, my cultivation progress will be affected, and I'll definitely die under the lightning tribulation.

If I don't pay them back, they are powerful and I will have a hard time dealing with them.

So, I came up with a plan.

The expression of the Water Immortal became serious. Even between husband and wife, accounts should be kept clear. Wang Yulou was in debt, but she was the biggest creditor. Not only had she lost people and power, but Wang Yulou had also taken a big bite out of the foundation of Water Blessed Land.

Before Wang Yulou attained enlightenment, in order to help him quickly increase his accumulation, Dripping Water directly consumed the essence of Dripping Water Heaven's cave heaven, mobilized the power of the cave heaven, and assisted Wang Yulou in his cultivation.

Two hundred strands!
Of course, if we include the debt Qingrui once incurred for passing on her teachings to Wang Yulou, then Qingrui is Wang Yulou's biggest creditor.

But that's all there is to it. Only a fool would Xiao Wang pay back Qingrui's debt.

"what's the plan?"

"Dripping Water Immortal asked solemnly."

In her view, Wang Yulou must survive the dangerous period after becoming a Venerable before he can possibly repay her two hundred strands of the essence of the cave.

Therefore, she was also curious about what kind of ridiculous plan Wang Yulou could come up with, after all, the rules of the Great World also placed considerable restrictions on the Immortal Venerables.

You may enjoy the offerings, but everyone is eyeing the benefits beyond those offerings. Wang Yulou smiled and replied.

"It's the Immortal City Project. Once the '714' system is established, the essence of the grotto-heavens will naturally be returned to them."

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is just changing to a world with a lower intensity to cultivate and replenish his reserves. It's not that he doesn't want to strive for the peak. He will still come back, so he can't really renege on his debt.

His current answer is giving Xiaoyu direction for paying off his debts. Xiaoyu will understand after he disappears.

Xiaoyu glared at the man, somewhat annoyed and speechless.

"I thought you had some grand plan, but it turns out it's just this."

The immortal venerable did not speak, but simply smiled and shook his head at the goddess.

My wife, after I'm gone, please take good care of our family business.

The Eastern Extreme Sect, the '714' system of Shengxian Immortal City, and my arrangements within the Immortal Alliance—all of these will be our help in our future sprint to the top.
-
Three years later, within the Eastern Pole Sect, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable finished a phase of cultivation and opened his eyes.

His eyes turned golden at this moment, and with just the movement of opening his eyes, the entire hall was filled with Daoist essence.

For the Immortal Venerable, the Great Dao was never something mysterious or esoteric.

Yes, perhaps in the distant ancient times, the Great Dao was mysterious and profound.

But now, if a Golden Core cultivator faces the Great Dao and still feels that the Great Dao is profound and mysterious, then he can simply find a pillar and kill himself; there is basically no need for him to continue cultivating.

The version has been updated a long time ago. Xiao Deng, who can't keep up with the version changes, is doomed no matter which way he goes.

Wang Yulou's current cultivation is in the initial stage of the Boundless Dharma Cultivation, constantly increasing the foundation of his supernatural powers and rapidly improving his strength.

The specific method is to embrace all the great principles of water, to comprehend, absorb, and transform them into one's own.

Then, based on these fundamental principles, the foundation for water-based supernatural powers is built.

The small fish preaching the Way to him cannot replace his own cultivation of the Great Way.

But the 'Seven Spirit Water Dragon' that Xiaoyu passed on to him was an extremely mysterious water-based supernatural power.

This supernatural power requires the refinement of seven extremely rare spiritual waters. The ones Wang Yulou refined were 'Spiritual Light Dew', 'Heavenly Secret Rain', 'Death-Condensing Liquid', 'Seven-Turn Profound Water', 'Jade Purity Immortal Dew', 'Extinction Heart Blood', and 'Blue Forbidden Dragon Marrow'. If he could obtain others, he could refine others as well.

But what Little Fish can give to Jade Palace Immortal Venerable are these seven types, which correspond to seven subdivided water-related Great Daos: Spiritual Beauty Water Dao, Heavenly Water Dao, Condensed Death and Strange Water Dao, Mysterious Law Water Dao, Moonlit Jade Dew Water Dao, Silent Extinction Water Dao, and Forbidden Law Extinction Water Dao.

These subdivided water-related major paths have different origins. Some are water-related major paths that existed innately in heaven and earth, while others are water-related major paths that were evolved by immortals of the past and present eras.

For example, the Lingxiu Waterway is an innate water-related Great Dao inherent in heaven and earth, which Xiaoyu is very proficient in. The Xiushui Lake in the Dishui Blessed Land is the carrier of his Lingxiu Waterway mastery, while the Tianshui Dao is the second innate water-related Great Dao that Xiaoyu has mastered, which can be considered as the foundation accumulation of the Water Law Immortal Dishui.

As for the others, they are all borrowing the law and transforming it for one's own use; they are all considered to belong to the Great Dao of Water in the acquired world.

The Mysterious Water Path originated from the Mysterious Water Immortal Venerable, who has long since perished in the river of history. The Mysterious Water Path, which gives rise to the Mysterious Water, can be transformed from the first to the ninth level. As one's understanding of this Great Dao deepens, the level of transformation can become higher and higher.

The uses of the Mystic Water are limitless—it can be used as a guide for supernatural powers, a material for refining weapons and pills, and can also be used directly to improve cultivation and heal injuries.

But if you ask about limits of ability, then I'm sorry, this is a broad rather than specialized area.

The Moonlit Jade Dew Waterway, as the name suggests, comes from the old sister-in-law of Moonlit Jade Dew.

The carrier of the Moon Essence Jade Dew Waterway is Jade Purity Immortal Dew, which is a condensation of the essence of the moon. It belongs to the category of Taiyin and has the quality of jade dew. It is similar to the Mysterious Water of Wonderful Method, but it is different in nature.

If the nature of the Mysterious Water of Wonderful Method is simply water, then the Jade Purity Immortal Dew, in addition to its water nature, possesses an extremely special pure Yin nature, which is quite useful if used properly.

As for the Congealed Deadly Liquid Waterway, it is also a post-natal water-related Great Dao left behind by an old man who has already died. To put it simply, it can be understood as corpse water—extremely filthy and impure.

You can't just say the Water Immortal is strong when he does good deeds, right?

The deadly liquid, once it circulates in the universe, can poison people to the point of screaming. Mastering this method allows water magic to undergo a transformation beyond pure and clean states, adding a layer of impurity.

The Blood of Annihilation and the Blue Forbidden Dragon Marrow were taken from two Immortal Venerables of the Great Heaven and Earth: the Golden Immortal Annihilation Buddha Venerable of the Holy Land and the Second Immortal God of the Wutian Sect, the Dragon God of the Heavenly Dragon Hall, a member of the Winnowing Basket Society, and the top-level Golden Core Blue Forbidden Dragon God.

These two special 'spiritual waters' cannot be produced by mastering their methods, not because their owners are still alive, but because they were purely purchased and will be gone once used up.

Both the Blood of Annihilation and the Blue Forbidden Dragon Marrow possess terrifying potential power.

As a Water-based Immortal Venerable, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable uses them by understanding their nature from the perspective of water magic, guiding their power, and participating in the process of constructing supernatural abilities, thereby increasing the strength and variability of the supernatural abilities.

The Blood of Annihilation corresponds to the Great Dao of Annihilation. Since Wang Yulou himself could not quickly master the Great Dao of Annihilation, he relied on the tangible medium of the Blood of Annihilation to use water magic to stimulate the power of the Great Dao of Annihilation within it, which is the "Waterway of Annihilation".

The Blue Forbidden Dragon Marrow corresponds to the 'Forbidden Magic and Spirit-Destroying Waterway', which operates on the same principle.

This shows how powerful the Golden Immortal is, and why Yuehua was so confident and proactive on the Immortals Platform.

Through the changes brought about by the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable and his own long-term accumulation, Drip Water attained enlightenment, thus achieving the process of returning to the position of the Great Heaven and Earth Venerable, entering a period of rapid growth in strength, and embarking on the cultivation of a half-step Golden Immortal.

However, the water-related Dao he has mastered, whether it is the Lingxiu Water Dao or the Tianshui Dao, are both innate water-related Daos, which belong to the world as they originally were.

As for Yuehua, with over 20,000 years of cultivation, she has already mastered the acquired water-related Great Dao, the Moon Dew Waterway.

As for the 'Great Dao of Annihilation' and the 'Great Dao of Forbidden Laws and Extinction of Spirits', they are also acquired Great Daos mastered by those two old men.

These Golden Immortals, having mastered special Daos, gained a greater advantage in battles—they reached new frontiers on the path of cultivation where there seemed to be no way forward.

Of course, neither the 'Blood of Annihilation' nor the 'Blue Forbidden Dragon Marrow' were likely dug out of their own bodies by the Buddha of Annihilation and the Dragon God of Blue Forbidden. These things are carriers of the Great Dao, rather than necessarily some parts of their bodies.

These old monks, relying on their unique methods, can make a fortune by selling special cultivation resources.

But those who come later still have to buy it. They don't necessarily have to buy it from Yuehua, but they still have to buy it—you have to see the world to find your own path.

Through this arduous cultivation, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's supernatural powers increased, his mastery of the fundamental Dao of Water Law deepened, and his mastery of the Dao of Annihilation and the Dao of Forbidden Laws and Spirit Destruction also improved.

This is the cultivation process of immortals in this era. If anyone is still like the cultivators of ancient times, suffering and waiting for enlightenment, then...
The cultivation world has developed into its current state after a long period of time.

As long as there are enough resources to be converted into key cultivation resources, it can help immortals achieve relatively high efficiency in their cultivation.

Wang Yulou's cultivation of the Seven Spirit Water Dragon Divine Power was also a process of deepening his understanding of the immeasurable Dharma.

It replenishes the foundation and essence of the Great Dao, containing immeasurable changes, step by step, transforming the newly initiated Golden Elixir cultivator into a composed old cultivator.

Only after accumulating enough experience can one further challenge the level of a Golden Immortal, seek one's own Great Dao, and create one's own cultivation method.

It can be said that once Wang Yulou fully mastered the Seven Spirit Water Dragon, he had entered the realm of water magic.

After advancing to the Golden Core stage, the enlightenment effect of the Ruyi Golden Light improved significantly.

With the help of the Ruyi Golden Light to aid his enlightenment, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable has gained a profound understanding of the Mysterious Water Dao over the years.

If we divide the mastery of the Great Dao into levels, then the mastery of the innate Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is often divided into three levels in the present era: glimpse, application, and one-pointedness.

"To see" means to have seen, known, understood, and been able to use.

Whether used for combat, weapon crafting, cultivation techniques, or supernatural abilities, it can be used as long as one reaches the Insight Realm.

Transformation, on the other hand, involves a more refined and nuanced understanding of the innate Dao, enabling the activation of even more of its wondrous applications.

The same Great Dao can be used to achieve 50% of its effect when one reaches a certain level of understanding, but 80% when one utilizes it.

The difference between 50% and 80% may sound small, but in a battle between Golden Core Immortal Venerables, a difference of 30% in strength can easily result in being instantly killed.

This is also why the old masters of the Great Heaven and Earth are unwilling to engage in battles easily.

You cultivate for tens of thousands of years, and then sacrifice everything for a single victory. Fighting is, in most (not all) cases, an extremely inefficient choice.

As for the highest level of mastery of the Primordial Dao, 'One Mind', it means being able to completely master the Dao and how to use it, all within a single thought, and being able to unleash its full wonders and effects.

But the Great Dao of the Day after tomorrow is different. Their third level of mastery is not "single-mindedness" but "sole control".

Wang Yulou cultivated the "Silent Heart Blood" and the "Blue Forbidden Dragon Marrow" not to achieve exclusive mastery, but to observe their principles and emulate them.

The Primordial Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is like a bus (it already exists there), anyone can swipe their card (through enlightenment) to get on, while the Acquired Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is like a private car (bought by oneself), only one person can hold the steering wheel.

Moreover, when the Moon Dew Waterway created by Moon Dew is mastered to a deeper level, or when the Blue Forbidden Dragon God's 'Forbidden Law Extinction Path' is mastered to a deeper level, they will all be able to sense it.

If one seeks to capture the essence of a subject, there will inevitably be resistance.

Otherwise, if two people cultivate the same acquired path and both reach a deep level, it will be difficult for either of them to reach the true pinnacle, and the presence of the other person will always cause interference.

Of course, most people with brains won't try to cultivate someone else's acquired path, since cultivating this thing is also very dependent on others, and it's a complete waste of time.

But sometimes, there are exceptions.

For example, it's hard to say exactly what the relationship is between Wuji Fazun and Wuji Daozhu.

Everyone involved is guessing what's going on between these two, but no one dares to give a definite answer—the possibilities are too complicated.

The old guys, they're just too good at holding back.

Two Wuji can hold back their anger, and even top-tier immortals can hold back their anger.

However, these things have nothing to do with the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable. With the winnowing basket, the water vessel, and the Rakshasa supporting him, he is not in a hurry.

Feeling his mastery of the Mysterious Water Dao, Wang Yulou judged that he should have about 60% mastery.

It has gained insight, but it is still far from being able to apply what it has learned.

There is no reference data on the speed at which Golden Core Immortals master the Great Dao—they simply don't know how fast others are; nobody tells you.

However, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable was certain that he had mastered 60% of the skills after only seven and a half years of cultivation. Considering that it would become increasingly difficult as time went on, it might take another twenty years before he could get close to the One Heart.

However, this speed is not considered slow.

He stopped his cultivation this time because the Ruyi Golden Light had been exhausted.

The golden light at the Golden Core level is easy to use but difficult to accumulate. To use it to comprehend the Dao in the future, one will need to constantly consume and accumulate it.

In terms of the progress of cultivating the Mysterious Water Path, combined with the time spent replenishing the Ruyi Golden Light, it would take about fifty to sixty years to master a Great Dao.

Six thousand years is equivalent to one hundred gates.

At that time, I will truly be able to unleash boundless wondrous teachings from the Jade Palace, suppress the four extremes, and become the supreme ruler.

As the illusion ended, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's decree flew out of the Eastern Pole Sect and spread to the Jade Generals and Daoist partners throughout the Immortal Alliance.

It's time to prepare for what happens after we leave.

Upon receiving the decree from the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, no one dared to delay and immediately rushed back to the Eastern Pole Sect.

In just two days, the disciples of the Jade Palace Sect gathered together, a rare occurrence within the Eastern Pole Sect.

"Old Cui, I've seen all the talk in the Five Realms Gathering about how we were collectively summoned by the Immortal Venerable. Is the tribulation lightning really that terrifying?"

Inside the Dongji Hall, under immense psychological pressure, Wang Yaohai set aside his prejudice against Cui Baihao and asked via telepathy.

He has now opened his Purple Mansion and knows many secrets of the Great World, and also possesses the Five Realms' Heavenly Book.
"It's hard to say, but I have faith in the Immortal Venerable." Cui Baihao wasn't very confident either.

In the Book of Five Realms Under One Heaven, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's large-scale summoning of disciples has been characterized as a 'last words before death' segment.

Some people even made up a joke about it.

【Bai Lu, you are the number one dog under the Jade Palace. I will bestow upon you the Jade Palace's wondrous methods so that you may soon attain the Golden Elixir. Be careful not to go and suffer the tribulation of lightning. Even I cannot withstand it, and you are even less likely to be able to withstand it than I am.】

Wang Yaohai, you bark the loudest, even biting your colleagues. Here is a dog-beating stick, so you can beat yourself when you miss me, and shed tears of longing.

Cui Baihao, your methods are the most ruthless, quite like mine. I'll give you a white silk ribbon and you'd better finish this quickly, or I'll take you with me later.

Jing Jianjia, you're the most enthusiastic dog catcher. I'll keep the title of Donkey King for myself and won't give it to you, so I'll just call you Dog King.

Fellow Daoist Qingrui, I know you yearn for me, but alas, we have no future together. Here, take this donkey whip to ease your sorrow.

They mocked Bai Lu for doing nothing and having no strength, yet she still opened her Purple Mansion.

He mocked Wang Yaohai for being a lackey of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, tearing apart the Jade Palace cultivators, and even cursing him and the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable together—if Wang Yulou wasn't such a beast, how could he treat his subordinates like that?

He mocked Cui Baihao for being exactly like Wang Yuque, implying that they would both inevitably meet a dead end, and that Wang Yuque, with such a petty mind, would never spare him.

He mocked Jing Jianjia, saying that as a Daoist partner of the Jade Palace, all she did was send people to the front lines and commit countless evils. He claimed that she was a seemingly perfect Daoist partner, but in reality, she was the king of dogs among the Jade Palace's dogs.

It mocks Wang Yulou and Qingrui for their bickering, with one becoming the number one prostitute in the world and the other becoming the number one donkey king and donkey woman's concubine in the world!

This joke immediately dominated the rankings, causing many Immortal Venerables in the Immortal Alliance to chuckle unconsciously.

It can only be said that the cultivation world is too stable, giving these scoundrels so much free time that they dare to fabricate anything, even including Qingrui.

Finally, most of the cultivators from the Jade Palace Sect who had been dispatched to various places had arrived.

The core group consists of dozens of generals and a dozen core Daoist partners (winners of the Unity-type Daoist Partner Merit Competition).

In the Eastern Palace, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable finally appeared, and everyone immediately wanted to kneel.

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable simply raised his hand and lifted everyone up, preventing them from actually kneeling.

Putting aside other things, Chu Ran, Ying Xi, Ming Du, and others were all long-time Daoist companions of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable. Even after the Immortal Venerable attained Dao, he still cherished this affection. How could he possibly make them kneel?

Moreover, there are Wang Yu'an, Wang Guanyong, Wang Guanning, and other members of the Wang family. We are all one family, so we should be closer to each other.

"Alright, don't worry. It's just that after I attained enlightenment, many things are different from before, so I summoned you all here to give you some instructions."

Wang Yulou's gaze swept across Yingxi and Qin Churan's faces before turning to Mingdu.

Give them the opportunity to enter the Purple Palace, and in the future, there will be a day when we meet again.

If we don't give it to them, we'll never see them again.

To give or not to give, this is a difficult choice to strike a balance.

A hundred years of cultivation finally leads to enlightenment, yet alas, countless mountains separate us.

Sadly, they are separated by countless mountains...

Perhaps, this is also part of spiritual practice?

Thinking of all this, the Jade Palace Immortal's gaze inevitably became complicated.
