Chapter 372 From the Sea of ​​Suffering to the Other Shore! (1.07 Million Views, Requesting Monthly Tickets)
Some might ask, "The Immortal Venerable obtained the top-tier technique revealed by the Water Venerable, and Bifang didn't do anything to the Immortal Venerable. He even shared his own decisions and judgments. The Immortal Venerable had a huge advantage, so where did he get stuck on both ends?"
First of all, if it were Wang Yulou, he would have directly practiced the method given by the Water Venerable. However, as the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable who has been enlightened for many years, it is difficult for him to make a choice.

That was a contradictory choice.

Secondly, the message shared by Bifang seems to be about whether Wuji Dao will focus its efforts on the Great Heaven and Earth or on the outside of the Great Heaven and Earth.

But in reality, as someone involved in the matter, as someone who came from the Immortal Alliance and still has a foothold in the Immortal Alliance, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is also closely related to this matter.

The Water Venerable saw the value in the Immortal Venerable's attack and asked the Immortal Venerable to slowly eliminate the Japanese pirates, and even gave him a heavy bet.

Why would Bifang be so generous as to share a bunch of his own decisions with the Immortal Venerable?

Because Old Bi Deng may have realized that the Immortal Venerable might become a variable.

In other words, if the Immortal Venerable slowly eliminates the Four Spirit Realms, then the Water Venerable will have another window of opportunity—the situation in the Four Spirit Realms is still uncertain, and there is one more factor influencing Bi Fang's decision.

However, if the Immortal Venerable does not quickly suppress him, Bi Fang's judgment that the Wuji Dao Lord might exert his power outside the Great Heaven and Earth and thus activate the Immortal Control Alliance's Water Venerable Chess Game will be difficult to start quickly.

If Bi Fang's judgment is true, and the Wuji Dao Lord really intends to launch the first wave of the final battle in the endless void outside the Great Heaven and Earth, then the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's 'slow suppression' is digging his own grave—he will truly become the number one anti-Wuji Dao Lord vanguard in the endless void, just as he promised the Water Venerable.

This is not a joke, but a horror story.

The idea that promises must be kept is a concept for mortals. It would be too tragic if the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable were to truly sacrifice his own interests for the greater good of others.

However, if the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable launches a 'swift suppression,' the situation will tilt towards another terrible trend.

The Water Venerable was crushed, the Eastern Pole Sect may be destroyed, and the Immortal Alliance may also become a price to pay in Bi Fang's game.

In that case, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable would truly have no way out—leaving oneself a way out is never a trivial strategy, but a practical strategy with great real-world significance.

Everything is still unresolved, yet everything seems to have an answer.

This is a complete blockade, a blockade in the absolute sense.

Moreover, and even more terrifyingly, this kind of double-dealing cannot be easily fooled by any clever tricks.

What's with all the talking? What's with all the feigning ignorance and deceiving people? What's with all the jumping around and playing the fence?
At this moment, whether for the sake of the Four Spirit Realms or for his own cultivation, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable could no longer surrender to the Boundless Dao Lord.

"Your Majesty, everything you said is very good and correct, but will the Daoist Master of Wuji really accept the challenge?"

From my perspective, if it doesn't respond, or only partially responds, your actions of pressuring us will effectively create an internal conflict between us.

The Jade Palace Immortal Venerable was not unaware of the situation, nor did he intend to remind Bifang; he simply still harbored some kind of expectation.

For example, things might not be so bad?
In the face of an inescapable predicament, charging forward without thinking is by no means a wise strategy. Charging forward is acceptable, but appeasement at the last moment is equally meaningful.

What if it goes smoothly?
What if there are any new changes?
How dare you turn back when you're not at your wit's end?

"Go ahead and gamble. Don't worry, you're just scared by how complicated this is."

In reality, confrontation itself is never scary; change is what is scary.

Now, it is our proactive process to lock in a portion of the space for change.

Regardless of whether we win or lose this round, we must leave; we cannot be led by the nose by the Wuji Dao Master forever.

If it doesn't move, we will!

It's all about gambling, it's about getting involved. Getting involved is what matters. Bi Fang's thinking was beyond the Immortal Venerable's expectations, but it was also reasonable, fully demonstrating the vision of the leader of the anti-Wuji Dao Lord camp.

The Immortal King's answer caused the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable to fall into deep thought.

Now that things have come to this point, the main storyline of the situation is basically clear.

The Water-Moving Venerable, the Water-Pressing Venerable, and the Water-Forced Venerable are the means and the focus, representing the culmination of years of planning and strategic moves by the Immortal King Bifang.

The purpose was to put pressure on the Demon Cave, the power of the Wuji Dao Master, within the vast world, thereby mobilizing the Wuji Dao Master to respond.

This proactive strategy of actively seeking battle within the Great World can alleviate Bi Fang's concern that the Wuji Dao Master might sit idly by while the cultivators of the Great World grow and become independent in the outer void, and then want to launch a decisive battle from the outside into the Great World.

Therefore, it is beneficial to the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

As for the Celestial King, the corresponding thing is to "actively seek battle and actively lock in the changes," which is the meaning. Even if he fails, it is still part of the meaning.

Whether the water is shallow or deep, you have to try it out; you can't just stand by the water and stare.

From this perspective, Bi Fang, as the leader of the anti-Wuji Daoist camp, has fulfilled the responsibilities of a leader.

"Your Majesty, Yulou understands, Yulou understands."

Wang Yulou responded somewhat blankly, his brain still racing.

The aspiration of a seeker of the Way, and his pursuit of spiritual cultivation and the other shore, require him to respond relatively efficiently to questions that have no answers.

He understood Bi Fang's strategy and arrangements, but he couldn't see through the fog and figure out how to deal with it or how to continue moving forward.

Everywhere you look there are choices that are clearly wrong, and what is considered right is only right under the Bifang strategy.

At this moment, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable wished he were Wang Yu'an, so that under the influence of a higher energy being, he could make a simple choice without psychological burden.

Fortunately and unfortunately, he had already reached the true pinnacle.

There's no one to consult; you have to choose for yourself.

'I hope you truly understand, Yulou. Do a good job.'

Bifang fell silent once again, leaving only the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable to continue his deep contemplation.

Using the phrase "If there is no road, you cannot go on" to describe the spirit of a pursuer of the Dao sounds very sophisticated. No matter how many foolish things Qingrui did, whenever he thought of the brilliance Qingrui displayed that day, the Immortal Venerable would always respect this opponent.

But when faced with a situation where nowhere is a road and both ends are blocked in an absolute sense, the Immortal Venerable's difficulties become boundless.

Compared to this, things like scorching sand, backflow of water, and sudden appearances of divine light are all minor issues.

Of course, it's not to say that the problems caused by these things and these people are simple. It's just that compared to Jade Palace Immortal Venerable winning and winning again until he was in a desperate situation with nowhere to go, they were really just a meeting of rotten fish and shrimp.
After a long while, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's ethereal divine eyes regained focus. He raised his hand and captured the scene of the Liezhou Dao Court within the Jade Palace.

Although the Dao Court is not always teeming with people, it is still incredibly prosperous. With millions of cultivators gathered there, it is never short of people.

"The Four Spirit Realms, the Four Spirit Realms, still have untapped potential."

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable spoke in a low voice, as if this Immortal Venerable, who had stepped into the threshold of the top Dao Pursuer in cultivation realm, actually had a corresponding solution to his own dead end and dead end.

The Immortal Venerable's gaze lingered among the beings of the Dao Court, and soon, Chu Ran, who had been summoned by him, arrived at the Jade Palace.

"Ms. sir?"

Seeing the Immortal Venerable observing the various beings in the Dao Court, Fairy Chu Ran was somewhat puzzled.

"Come with me and take a walk around the Dao Court, Chu Ran."

The Jade Palace Immortal Venerable withdrew his supernatural powers and extended an invitation with a smile.

Chu Ran was not disappointed that the Immortal Venerable had summoned him for this matter; he only felt a slight sense of novelty.

Despite being longtime partners, they have never gone on any dates.

In the past, there were moments of togetherness and tenderness, but only after finishing our business.

It's absurd that a couple who have been married for a thousand years would have their first date in such a way, after being together for a millennium.

All I can say is that the Immortal Venerable does have the heart for cultivation.

"Of course, my husband." Fairy Chu Ran suppressed the waves of joy welling up from the bottom of her heart, quickly walked to Wang Yulou's side, and took his arm.

"We just need to conceal ourselves, otherwise we'll be too conspicuous and disturb your peace."

Xiao Qin thoughtfully reminded him, she understood. This was the legendary big shot, immortal venerable, great cultivator who was bored with cultivation and wanted to go out for a 'private visit'.

Generally speaking, in traditional Chinese folk tales, there is also a lucky Cinderella.

But obviously, the Immortal Venerable isn't the kind of being who looks up to just anyone, so, well, I, Little Qin, will play the role of Cinderella, which is just right.

"Hahaha, small things, small things."

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable turned his head to look at Chu Ran and said with a hint of teasing.

Do you remember the robe you wore when we got married?

Compared to the slightly flushed cheeks of the Water Venerable, the slightly flushed cheeks of the Immortal Venerable Chu Ran were naturally even more captivating.

She slyly changed the subject, saying...

"Back then, you gave me a robe called 'Empty Mountain After Rain,' which was produced by the Moonflower Sect. I still keep it to this day."

"Oh, I remember now."

A hint of reminiscence flashed in the eyes of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

Over the course of a thousand years, so many things and so many people have changed.

Qin Churan's current robes are spiritual treasures, capable of countless transformations; however, she still deliberately transformed them into the appearance of a mountain after a recent rain.

The Jade Palace Immortal was naturally happy to cooperate. This is what it means to do things in the details. Loyalty and reliability are never taken for granted.

Chu Ran is already one of the people he trusts the most, and he needs to protect her at all times.

Although the purpose of this behavior seems malicious, at least the Immortal Venerable was willing to do it, which is much better than Bi Fang's behavior of secretly plotting and quietly sending the Water Venerable to the dinner table.

As soon as the two left the Jade Palace, they bumped into the red-spotted deer that had come to pay homage to the Jade Palace Immortal.

"Red Spot greets Master!"

The Immortal Venerable glanced at the red-spotted deer and said.

"Oh? We're just in need of a mount, come over here."

The ultimate problem is one that even the Celestial Venerable doesn't have a good solution for, but he is very skilled at winning people's hearts.

Although somewhat puzzled, the red-spotted deer happily served as the mount for this divine couple—it's not an opportunity to brag about, otherwise it would seem pretentious; those who know, know.

How did Heilong manage to surpass its predecessor?
Referring to Journey to the West, which of those beasts that could become the mounts of powerful figures were not immortal beings who had attained enlightenment?

Let alone binding Tang Sanzang, even openly slapping heavenly soldiers and generals wouldn't cause any major problems—a high-energy being above the rules could change the fate of an ordinary cultivator with just a little bit of extra power.

A beautiful woman sits in his arms, riding a deer down to the mortal world.

The Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's stirring of desire was by no means for the sake of playing around in the mortal world.

Although the Liezhou Dao Court was established, the original sect divisions within it still existed, and the Daoist temples of different Daoist ancestors were separate from each other within the Dao Court.

However, there are three distinct central hubs within the Daoist court.

One of them is the Pure Water Immortal City, which developed based on the Pure Water Dao Court.

Within the immortal city, hundreds of thousands of cultivators lived together, making it quite prosperous.

Among the pavilions and towers, figures riding mythical beasts would occasionally pass by, often leaving behind a chorus of envious glances.

The Dao Court has decreed that anyone riding a spirit beast within its borders must obtain a 'Spirit Beast Jade Tablet Permission' in advance.

For each jade disc, a management fee of one hundred magical water sands is required, and then one sands will be paid annually thereafter.
The 'Daoist Court Spirit Beast Token' is extremely valuable. Those who can ride spirit beasts within the Daoist Court are the wealthiest of the wealthy, either disciples of major clans or elites of sects.

This reveals the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's governance philosophy. He doesn't play any fancy tricks like preventing people from flying. With the Immortal Venerable, as long as you are willing to contribute to replenishing water, anything is negotiable.

Therefore, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, who seems to be the fairest, actually pursues efficiency at his core.

Fairness is merely a means to an end to efficiency.

Fairness that is meaningless to the immortals is worthless.

From this perspective, the Immortal Venerable seems to be an 'egoist' in the mortal sense. But then again, which Golden Core cultivator in the cultivation world isn't an egoist?

By seizing all changes and possibilities, one can become supreme. Everyone else is seizing, but you are not?
"Husband, those people are watching us, look," Chu Ran reminded him.

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable frowned; the red-spotted deer was still a bit too conspicuous.

"To return to its normal form, the peak level of a lesser demon is sufficient."

Red Spot knew that he had been too eager to show off and had overdone his spiritual power, which displeased the Immortal Venerable. So he immediately began to obediently play the role of a grandson.

As disciples, we must cooperate with our master's refined tastes.

After strolling around the Pure Water Immortal City for a while, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable spoke with some disinterest.

"Let's find a donkey meat restaurant, I want to eat donkey meat."

Means nothing.

That kind of return to the mortal world, back to the bottom of society, that would lead to enlightenment, and a reconstruction of meaning and self-subjectivity, did not happen.

The red-spotted deer hurriedly used its divine sense to search, and soon brought the immortal to the outside of the best donkey meat restaurant in the immortal city.

The immortal lord loves donkey meat, but the spirit donkeys of the Four Spirit Realms suffer many hardships.

Donkey meat restaurants are springing up everywhere, and those in Jingshuixiancheng are particularly outstanding.

The donkey meat restaurant chosen by the red-spotted deer for the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is named "Tongxianfang," meaning "the most delicious food an immortal would eat."

The shop assistant at Tongxianfang was sensible. Seeing that the two men had an extraordinary bearing and could ride spirit beasts, he asked them a question.

"Seniors, you must be pillars of the Dao Court. However, you are somewhat unfamiliar faces. Is this your first time visiting our Tongxianfang?"

"Indeed," Chu Ran replied.

"Then please take a seat. Tongxianfang has a separate courtyard for honored guests, and spirit beasts are also welcome to enter."

As he spoke, the shopkeeper of Tongxianfang came to greet him personally. He was a Foundation Establishment cultivator who looked quite shrewd.

Chu Ran glanced at the Immortal Venerable, who seemed lost in thought, yet also appeared to be constantly aware of what was happening around him, and simply replied.

"can."

The shopkeeper was secretly puzzled. It seemed that even this fairy-like woman with her ethereal beauty had to be mindful of the attitude of an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator. It was truly strange.

Her top-tier beauty is remarkable even in the cultivation world, especially considering that Qin Churan looks quite young and has the cultivation level of the peak of Qi Refining.

It seems this male cultivator comes from a prominent family.

"This way, esteemed guests." The innkeeper smiled and led the way, but secretly he subtly used his divine sense to investigate. Soon after, his expression turned somewhat cold.

From the extremely stable spiritual energy emanating from the two individuals, the shopkeeper, whose cultivation was at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, sensed a profound terror.

The stability of one's spiritual energy is a very special dimension for judging strength; minor cultivators cannot achieve it, and even major cultivators may not be able to.
After arriving at the separate courtyard, the Immortal Venerable sat down and then inquired about the local cuisine.

"Our restaurant specializes in donkey meat, but we also have a wide variety of other delicacies. However, our most unique dish is the 'Three Delicacies of the Immortals.' If this is your first time here, you two will definitely not be disappointed if you order it."

The Jade Palace Immortal asked in return.

"Three items for a Celestial Venerable. Three items for a donkey? Fine, three items for a donkey. What, three items for a Celestial Venerable? What, did you steal three items from a Celestial Venerable?"

"No, no, what I mean is that even a celestial being would say it's delicious, haha," the shopkeeper explained with an awkward laugh.

Qin Churan frowned, directly revealing her Purple Mansion cultivation level, and said coldly.

"It's not your place to comment on what kind of immortal venerable one I am!"
"Bring all the dishes here and you may leave."

Realizing he had spoken out of turn, the shopkeeper dared not say another word and left trembling. Chu Ran looked at the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

The Immortal Venerable's condition is becoming increasingly unstable.

Outsiders might not be able to sense it, but as someone close to the Immortal Venerable, Qin Churan had been in contact with him for a long time, so he could still get some vague feelings about it.

The instability here does not mean that the Immortal Venerable has become an emotionally unstable little immortal boy, nor does it mean that tentacles have suddenly grown on the Immortal Venerable's body.

Rather, the Immortal Venerable's overall condition has undergone some unusual changes.

Sometimes it works normally, and sometimes it seems to suddenly go 'offline'.

During their trip together today, Chu Ran had observed that 'offline' state multiple times.

It can be simply understood as a state of mental wandering.

"It's alright, Red Spot. Did you hear what they were saying next door?"

Seemingly noticing Chu Ran's confusion, the Immortal Venerable comforted her and then began to test the red-spotted deer.

Those who pursue the Way are like this; they are never idle.

"I heard that. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators know about the Zhenxu Patrol Palace. It seems that everyone supports Master's initiative to expand the void."

The red-spotted deer couldn't understand what its master and Fairy Chu Ran were doing, so it obediently sang a hymn of praise.

"Do you support this? Do you support this batch of new Golden Core cultivators?" Jade Palace Immortal Venerable asked.

"I support it, but I don't support it either."

Chu Ran smiled and shook his head. It's true that like master, like disciple. The prodigy personally selected by Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is almost identical to Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

The monstrous elephant nurtured a young monstrous elephant named Wang Yulou, who later became a super monstrous elephant.

Now, it's the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's turn to choose a little Jade Palace Red-spotted Deer.

Seeing Qin Churan smile, the red-spotted deer felt even more pressured and quickly added something.

“Supporting Master’s exploration of the void is giving us an opportunity. Not supporting it is because this matter is too hasty. Everyone wants to cultivate for more years after attaining enlightenment before going out to explore.”

This way, the chances of winning are greater, and it's safer; otherwise, I'll always feel uncertain.

Master, my thought is that you must have your reasons. Your level of understanding is too high for me to comprehend, but I am willing to support you.

"But since you asked about other people's thoughts, this disciple naturally wouldn't hide anything from Master."

Little Red's deer head was already sweating. The Immortal Venerable shook his head and said.

"Don't be afraid, don't pretend. Fear will take you away from the truth, and falsehood will take you away from the right path."

As for how fast or slow it is, regarding the erythema, we just need to get you out as soon as possible.

I have given you the fruits of the Way; you must give me value in return.

If he dies, he dies; consider it a test.

To probe and find out what the enemy is thinking and what their intentions are.

If you succeed, great; if you fail, so be it.

As long as we win in the end, let the twists and turns be tolerable.

"Yes, Master," the red-spotted deer replied awkwardly. The Jade Palace Immortal ignored the red-spotted deer and looked at his Daoist partner.

"Chu Ran, do you still remember why I chose you back then?"

After torturing his disciples, he then tortured his Daoist partners. In this respect, the Immortal Venerable was indeed quite despicable.

"Husband, you don't seem to have mentioned this before?" Qin Churan replied with a hint of helplessness.

You're always causing trouble, it's so hard to be your partner.

There was no other way; once the Celestial Venerable had a change of heart, how could those around him dare to be careless in dealing with him?

"Because you are a rough gem, a rough gem buried in the river bend and fishing port."

Bai Lu had an early advantage, but her talent was mediocre. You, on the other hand, arrived early, had good talent, and did quite well later on.

The red-spotted deer lowered its head, listening to the immortal's secret history of cultivation, and felt that the immortal's way of thinking was indeed peculiar.

Choosing a cultivation partner is done because they are like unpolished jade; from the very beginning of cultivation, most emotional factors have been removed.

Isn't this indifference to worldly concepts a talent of cultivators?
"I wouldn't call myself a rough gem," Qin Churan subconsciously tried to be modest, as humility was a common trait among the cultivators of Jade Palace.

All those fools who liked to be high-profile were gradually kicked aside by the Immortal Venerable. The Immortal Venerable disliked subordinates who might cause him trouble, and even his Daoist partners.

"Whether a cultivator can attain enlightenment depends primarily on the opportunities of the times and the individual's own opportunities, but of course, the opportunities of the times are the main factor."

But even in the worst of times, there are always exceptionally talented individuals who can break free from constraints.

The problem is that there are too many exceptionally talented individuals, and cultivators who have attained enlightenment do not like newcomers constantly challenging them.

Therefore, the sayings "poverty breeds cunning" and "poor mountains and bad waters breed wicked people" came about, and "all rogue cultivators are thieves and should be killed" came about.

Those who hold the power of definition and discourse constantly shape the world they desire, turning rough gems into charcoal in bulk, and then burning them to sustain their own cultivation.

The red-spotted deer felt a pang of regret; it seemed it shouldn't have come to pay homage to the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable today.

Can I listen to these words?
Could it be that if I hear too much about it, the immortal venerable will silence me?
"The number of uncut gems is always greater than what is shown; they just lack opportunities."

"If I don't give you a chance, Chu Ran, your life will be buried by the river bend fishing port."

The Jade Palace Immortal Venerable seemed quite moved, and Chu Ran was naturally touched, but she was more puzzled than anything else.

Puzzling, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is in a daze today, constantly having fits of madness, and now he is having another fit of madness, recalling the River Bay Fishing Port.

What exactly do you want to do?

"Husband, what have you thought of?" Qin Churan asked.

"Yes, I thought of many, many things."

Red Eyebrow is a flawed genius.

An Ning is a genius who is just one step behind.

Baihao, do you still remember Baihao? Ha, a stupid thing that was like trash at the beginning, but became a true prodigy after it got the chance.

There are too many rough gems, but too few opportunities. The rough gems of the world only need one chance to transform into extraordinary dragons.

Red spots are a prime example. After a long period of dormancy, they rose up one day and made a name for themselves, becoming the top scholar in the Three Immortal States and becoming disciples of the Jade Palace.

It has risen from an insignificant, marginal cultivator to a renowned lucky individual and top prodigy throughout the Four Spirit Realms.

The immortal's gaze fell upon the red-spotted deer to one side.

Red-spotted deer lay on all fours, repeatedly touching the ground with its head, large tears streaming down its face.

It didn't even dare to speak. Faced with the mad immortal, it could only express its boundless gratitude for the immortal's kindness with its mad loyalty.

"My cultivation has reached a point where everyone needs to become like a dragon."

The Four Spirit Realms are vast enough, with abundant opportunities and resources. Those below need the chance to rise up so that even the unpolished gems can shine.

Like scattered stars, their combined light can truly propel the cultivation world into a new era.

Give your subordinates a chance!

Qin Churan felt that the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable had gone mad. If it was going to be a large-scale empowerment, then so be it. Targeted empowerment and the assignment of responsibilities would eventually break even.

What does it matter if we give everyone in the Four Spirit Realms a chance?
Are you willing to pay the price, burning yourself to light up others?
'Husband, is there something wrong with your cultivation?'

Because of the presence of the red-spotted deer, Qin Churan asked telepathically.

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable nodded in agreement.

"Yes, the path to supremacy is not easy."

I need more exceptional talents to bring about greater changes for me.

The Immortal Venerable wasn't going mad; it's just that the Immortal Venerable's realm was too high, and even Chu Ran, who was somewhat clever, couldn't understand it now.

Both the red-spotted deer and Qin Churan remained silent.

The lower-level Golden Elixir cultivators exploit those below them, wanting to physically devour them completely.

The more senior Golden Immortals began to establish order, letting their subordinates rush to the front while they sat on their esteemed thrones and gently reaped the rewards.

The Jade Palace Immortal Venerable stopped harvesting and instead distributed a massive amount of favors—giving all unpolished gems a chance.

It's not that the Immortal Venerable is foolish; it's that his cultivation has truly reached a point where there's nowhere left to go.

If both ends are blocked, once those two blocks are resolved, new blocks of all kinds will appear.

In a seemingly hopeless situation, breaking out requires being willing to incur costs.

Use the biggest bait to get the biggest harvest. Let everyone be like a dragon, but what the Immortal Venerable wants is absolute supremacy!

That kind of supreme authority where even if everyone else is a dragon, they still have to bow down to me.

Change is difficult to quantify, but as long as there are enough people impacting change, there will also be enough people capturing change.

The immortal is not greedy; taking only 70% is enough.

The lesser jade pieces take 30%, while the Jade Palace Immortal takes 70%.

Beneath the scattered stars, the radiant light of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable will only become more radiant, brighter, and more powerful.

Of course, if anyone is so short-sighted as to say that the Immortal Venerable should not be so wronged, that 30% is too little and that the Immortal Venerable should be given 50%, then the Immortal Venerable will let them know what a top-level Dao pursuer is.

Let's put it this way about the ability to collect debts: the Immortal Venerable dared to plunder even the gold coins of the Water Venerable and Bifang, so how could he not deal with the clever little devil who pretends to be confused?
"My lord, an era where everyone is like a dragon is indeed wonderful, but will other Daoist courts agree to it? This matter needs to be handled slowly, shouldn't we?"

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable nodded noncommittally and looked at his good disciple.

"Red Spot, I've been away from the bottom for too long. Tell me, what should we do about this?"

Wang Yuque had faced a similar problem at a past gathering.
Now, it's the Jade Palace Immortal's turn to ask his disciple.

After hesitating for a moment, Red Spot finally decided to give it a shot and try to seize the opportunity.

In this era where everyone can be like a dragon, even the most unpolished talents can become dragons, and even the most revered immortals can reign supreme.

If in this process I can get some opportunities, even just a little bit involved
I wouldn't dare say I'd become a Golden Immortal, but reaching the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm would be a piece of cake, right?
This is the significance of a leader. The immortal points out the direction, paints the biggest picture, and motivates those below to charge forward, and the system will then operate on its own.

During the process, the inherent driving force of the system can often easily create many unimaginable miracles.

Subjective initiative is a ridiculous concept. Most individuals who lack their own value system need the will of the Celestial Venerable to drive them in order to make their lives more meaningful—it sounds like a hypocritical excuse from a sovereign, but that is the truth.

At this moment, the will of the Immortal Venerable descended into the mind of the Red-spotted Deer, binding its own value pursuits with the will of the Immortal Venerable. This was even close to 'the unity of mind and spirit, the Great Dao is revealed'.

It has now actually found a path to follow.

In fact, this is a fast track to transcendence, but it only has advantages for a short part of the journey, and you will run into trouble finding your own subjectivity and value system before the end.

“Master, things are easy to handle, very simple. First, we will secretly promote it within the Liezhou Dao Court and accumulate strength.”

At the same time, relying on specific factions and departments such as the Dragon Seeking Sect, the Pure Water Dao Court, the Zhenxu Xuntian Mansion, and the Houpu Dao Court, fair competition is openly conducted to create a competitive order within these factions and departments that you control.

With a two-pronged approach, it won't take hundreds of years; a hundred years will be enough for many people to see the difference.

No matter what we say, the people below won't completely believe it. They might even worry that we're trying to select someone with exceptional talent as a elixir ingredient.

But as long as we keep pushing forward quietly, they will naturally come to understand the difference over time.

A fair system will allow all talented individuals to rise to the top, and our overall strength will rapidly increase. Once we've accumulated enough power, we'll sweep across the Four Spirit Realms and unify the Ten Provinces!

The Immortal Venerable smiled and said to Chu Ran.

"I always said that Red Spot is capable and has the potential to become a Golden Immortal. Of course, he needs to cultivate diligently to turn that potential into real strength."

However, we can talk about unifying the ten provinces internally, but we shouldn't mention it to outsiders.

"This matter is entrusted to you. You no longer need to explore the void; just focus all your efforts on advancing this task."

Black Hair Sun and Chongliu, among others, have deep roots within the Four Spirit Realms of Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

Qin Churan is too close to the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, making it easy for others to target her when she does things.

Therefore, the Immortal Venerable needed a new person, and the Red-spotted Deer just happened to be there.

You could say that this is a case of "the times create heroes"—when opportunity knocks, fate is changed—there's no complicated logic involved.

"Yes, Master, Hongban will do his best to live up to your expectations."

The red-spotted deer made a heartfelt promise.

But the Immortal Venerable was slightly taken aback upon hearing its words, and then...
"I just hope you won't torment me for ten thousand years, hahahaha!"

Before the Immortal Venerable could finish speaking, he had already left, leaving Qin Churan and the Red-spotted Deer standing there in a daze.

To be the master of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is a tragedy, for one can only receive the grace of being tormented for ten thousand years.

Being a disciple of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is a bewildering experience, as no one can understand the realm of the Immortal Venerable anymore.

Even with Bifang's arrival, it still didn't work.

He has made his choice and made up his mind to forge his own path.

This process has nothing to do with any factors or logic; it stems solely from the pursuit of the Way by those who seek it.

Keep going, cross the sea of ​​suffering!

Keep going, go to the summit, go to transcendence, go to supreme!

What kind of road is this?

It's hard to say, because even the Immortal Venerable doesn't have the answer.

It's hard to say whether this "setting off without answers" approach is right or wrong.

Compared to the Water Venerable's approach of cultivating with answers in mind, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is almost the answer in the Rakshasa's definition.

However, if there were an answer to the debate over who is the sole ruler, it would most likely not be Wang Yulou's turn.

Therefore, we can only say that we should wait and see – there is no perfect solution in a desperate situation.

"The changes in Liezhou Dao Court are significant. With just a little water replenishment, there can be a big difference in just ten years. The water element is becoming more and more abundant," Tianyin said to Lizhen with some emotion.

With the Zhenxu Patrol Heaven Palace about to be officially established, the cultivators of the Water-Replenishing Sect, whom the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable had brought from the Dao Courts of the Ten Provinces, began to gather at the Liezhou Dao Court.

The water replenishment order of the Water Replenishment Era, seemingly opposed by Zhi Sha and supported by Mu Fan, was actually supported by an equally powerful force of support.

There's nothing wrong with being a traitor among the Four Spirits. The idea that "I was born into the Four Spirits Realm, so I belong to the Four Spirits Realm" is almost naive. The Dao Ancestors are not naive, because naivety is foolishness to them.

Tianyin is a typical treacherous member of the Four Spirits, but Lizhen, who came with him, is different.

This can be understood as an 'observer' sent by Gong Shande.

Although Lizhen was somewhat rebellious, Gong Shande, no matter how incompetent, understood the principle of cooperation and would naturally continue to use Lizhen.

Otherwise, if he were to dismiss his own leader, the hearts of his followers, even if they didn't immediately erupt, would be overwhelmed by the good Daoist friends of the Heavenly Emperor of Benevolence, Mu Fan and Yu Que.

"Yes, the Liezhou Dao Court's water replenishment progress is faster than all other Dao Courts. Fellow Daoist Yuque is very good at replenishing water. The cultivators below are being kept busy by him and are very active in replenishing water."

Lizhen responded with an attitude that was difficult to calculate.

As a member of the anti-government forces, it certainly didn't want to see Jade Palace Immortal Venerable win.

However, the strength and realm of the Immortal Venerable, as well as his ambition to become the sole ruler, are clearly far superior to those of ordinary Dao Ancestors in the Four Spirit Realms.

With a little effort, you can win easily.

The reforms of the Immortal Alliance and the replenishment of water in the Four Spirit Realms have never been simple. The conservatism and stubbornness of the vested interest groups will not change because of whether the path is right or wrong—the correctness of the enemy is meaningless; anyone who threatens my interests is the enemy.

Therefore, the Liezhou Dao Court, under the control of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, was able to easily stand out and become the Dao Court with the highest water replenishment efficiency.

In theory, high water replenishment efficiency is meaningless because the Four Spirit Realms are one. Although the Five Elements Great Chaos is difficult to cultivate, it is not that difficult for those who are meant to cultivate it. Cultivating in a Taoist temple with better water replenishment will at most be slightly faster.

But in reality, this kind of organizational power, which is guided by a single goal and acts with one mind, is the greatest victory that the Immortal Venerable has achieved under the advantage of replenishing water.

Mobilizing water replenishment can be highly efficient, and this organizational ability can also play a role in mobilizing cultivators to participate in the fight.

Just as classical feudal dynasties collapsed because they failed to repair canals, this "collapse because canals were not repaired" is merely a symptom; the underlying issue is the collapse of internal organization and order.

The story that a dynasty would collapse as soon as a stone statue grew eyes is just that—a story. The dynasty's demise had nothing to do with the stone statue's eyes; it was simply that the dynasty's internal organization and order had long since collapsed. That's why the river workers believed that the stone statue's eyes could truly determine the dynasty's downfall.

Given Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's years of management in the Liezhou Dao Court, even if all ten second-grade acupoint immortal stones were to turn into Hundred-Eyed Stone Men, jumping around and saying, "If the Hundred-Eyed Stone Men glare, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is finished," Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's dominance in the Liezhou Dao Court would not truly be finished.

Well, facing such an opponent, Lizhen would naturally feel pressure, so it's inevitable that her words would carry a hint of sarcasm.

"Haha, whether you smoke or not, I don't see any complaints from the cultivators of the Liezhou Dao Court."

"Let's go, Fellow Daoist Lizhen. We're already here, why make trouble for ourselves? Our Three Immortal Dao Courts still need to explore the void together."

Hydration is necessary, but it must be reversed, drastically reversed, to tarnish the reputation of the Jade Palace Immortal.

However, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable also wants to eat the pie he made by expanding the void.

Compared to the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's obsessive madness in his pursuit of cultivation, the arrogance of the native Golden Core cultivators of the Four Spirit Realms seems even more laughable.

The Immortal Venerable's obsession stemmed from his pursuit of absolute supremacy, while the schizophrenic behavior of some native Golden Core cultivators in the Four Spirit Realms was truly that of clowns.

Resisting is out of the question, replenishing water is ongoing, turning against the current is something to be shouted out, the void must be expanded along with it, and upon seeing the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, one must address him as fellow Daoist.

"Fellow Daoist Jade Palace, it's been many years. Your demeanor remains as elegant as ever... no, wait..."
"Fellow Daoist's divine light seems even more radiant than before. It appears you have made great progress in your cultivation over the years."

Once inside the Jade Palace, even the wildest dog will sheathe its teeth and obediently lower its head.

That's Lizhen!

"Fellow Daoist Lizhen, you're too kind. Please have a seat. How many people are you planning to send this time, from your Three Immortal Dao Court?"

The Jade Palace Immortal gave Li Zhen a vague answer and then asked about the number of people.

He is more concerned with the specific level of support, and his stance is reflected in that.

These people are really going out to gamble with their lives; of course, besides failure, there's also the possibility of victory.

“One Dao Ancestor, and five True Persons at the late and peak stages of the Celestial Realm, but…” Li Zhen seemed somewhat hesitant, shyly unwilling to give up directly.

"Please speak," Qin Churan said, noticing the Immortal Venerable's impatience.

Lizhen dared not pretend any longer and quickly spoke up.

"Does the Heavenly Emperor of Benevolence mean that the position of the Lord of the Zhenxu Patrol Heaven Palace should also be given to the Three Immortals Dao Court?"

Upon hearing this, the guests who were exchanging words in the Jade Palace immediately fell silent.

You can hear a pin drop.

The Jade Palace Immortal's expression was as calm as still water, so much so that the atmosphere inside the Jade Palace seemed to grow cold.

suddenly
Hahaha, great!
It's nothing!

Gong Shande, oh Gong Shande, it has to be Gong Shande, charge, charge, charge! I really love charging.

Good, very good, very energetic!
Jade Palace Immortal Venerable truly admires this Gong Shande; a gem of the Four Spirit Realms, he should be carefully preserved for future great use.

By accepting Li Zhen's invitation, he was giving the same treatment as other Daoist courts. The Immortal Venerable understood this, so he continued.

"Zhenxu Patrol Palace is the Patrol Palace of the Four Spirit Realms, not my Wang Yuque Patrol Palace. Fellow Daoists, anyone who wants to come can come and become the Palace Master."

At this point, the position of the Heavenly Patrol Prefecture Lord was practically a roadside official; anyone could take it.

Gong Shande's probing was therefore pointless.

"Then thank you in thanks, Fellow Daoist Yuque," Lizhen replied with a forced smile.

He had truly felt the domineering nature of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

What I offer you, such as the opportunity to explore the void, you may choose not to accept.

But what I don't give you, you can't take!
If you want it, I'll just smash it!

"Alright, first is the apprenticeship ceremony. A few years ago, I took on a good disciple, Xiao Han."

"Little Han gave me a wonderful surprise; he brought news of my old friend, Shenguang."

Du Sheng, who came as a special envoy on behalf of Mu Fan, tensed up as soon as he heard Han Zhan's name.

It's not just simple tension, but 'tension so intense it doesn't look like tension'—it's too difficult.

"In short, he is a good disciple, and His Majesty Bifang still trusts me."

The only problem is, Tianwaitian is too wicked; this must be another of Tianwaitian's conspiracies!

The wicked Heavenly Realm took the blame for Du Sheng, keeping Jade Palace Immortal Venerable away from the truth. Of course, the Immortal Venerable didn't care.

A rotten fish and shrimp held a grand meeting, while the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable wanted to directly boil the sea of ​​the endless world!
However, this time, it was Tianyin, who had already secretly sided with Tianwaitian, who had to try her best to keep a straight face.

Yes, Tianwaitian is indeed wicked. They plotted against me in secret without telling me. They don't consider me one of their own.

Tianyin pondered inwardly, while continuing to maintain a normal demeanor so as not to reveal her identity.

Well, after Lizhen finished tightening up Dusheng, Dusheng tightened up Tianyin.
Hey, these are the allies of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

The one who has the hardest time to maintain composure is the Immortal Venerable!
This supreme being, you can cultivate it, and once you start, you'll be completely silent!
