Chapter 376 The Immortal Ancestor Leads the Way in Forcing Women into Prostitution, and the Supreme Water Venerable Makes His Grand Appearance (1.04 Million Views, Seeking Monthly Tickets)
However, what Yin Zheng was really thinking about was exactly what Qing Rui had already obtained.

'The jade pendant has returned to the Great Heaven and Earth, and the situation within the Four Spirit Realms may be dominated by Wang Yuque.'

In the Four Spirit Realms, Gong Shande is an absolute waste.

Pudu, go and seize Gong Shande's Dao fruit!

Then, put on a show for Wang Yuque, a drama about the rise of a prodigy just like him! 'The old man, Wudingfawang, was fooling Yinzheng while communicating with the Buddha of Universal Salvation.'

The Four Extremes Concealment Platform is just that amazing—the information that Huanpei, a disciple of the Wuji Dao Master, has returned to the Great World can immediately be transformed into a huge variable in Boluo's hands.

The art of winnowing baskets doesn't involve any particular principle of reducing what's in excess or what's lacking.

The Azure Buddha is strong enough, being the strongest top-tier Golden Core among its disciples. Therefore, we should further support the Azure Buddha!

Hidden truth is usable, but the accumulated good fortune is insufficient, and luck is also a bit lacking.

So, if you didn't get the opportunity, then you didn't get the opportunity.

The Azure Bud Universal Salvation Buddha is a genuine top-tier Golden Elixir.

If her nascent soul were to enter the Four Spirit Realms, the changes it could bring about would be far greater than those pretty but useless jade pendants.

The jade pendant of the Dao Lord is used to achieve Dao. The lower limit can be guaranteed, but the upper limit is insufficient.

As for Qingrui, you can laugh at Qingrui the clown, but Qingrui's tactical failure has resulted in a huge strategic victory for the universally acknowledged clown.

In fact, as someone who was chosen by the King of No Fixed Dharma and gradually reached the top Golden Core level amidst the ups and downs of the times, her strength and the depth of her combat prowess are beyond doubt.

Don't forget—the limit of the Nascent Soul Technique was precisely what this seemingly clown-like Qingrui Pudu Buddha Venerable cultivated.

Of course, you can also laugh at the Nascent Soul method, which seeks the Dao externally, as a path of clowns, because it cannot compare to cultivating the Dao internally and for oneself—this is an objective fact.

In the long struggle that had reached its extreme, the Nascent Soul Method was inferior to the Dharma Form Method and the Divine Illumination Method, and was only slightly stronger than the Boundless Method created by the King of No Fixed Dharma in ancient times.

However, the weakness of the Nascent Soul method lies in its weakness against top-tier Golden Core cultivators, and in the final outcome of such confrontations for the most gifted Dao pursuers.

You can't defeat Bifang using the Nascent Soul method, but it's quite simple to send the Nascent Soul Dao Embryo to the Fish Egg Squad to slaughter them.

Is the situation in the Four Spirit Realms a fish egg situation?
Yes and no, their confrontation mode is rapidly evolving to the level of the Great Heaven and Earth. Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, Mu Fan, Gong Shande and others are striving for the peak of Golden Immortal in the Four Spirit Realms, and even striving for the top Golden Core.

Add to that the harsh environment of the Four Spirit Realms, and for the vast majority of cultivators, the Four Spirit Realms are hellishly difficult.

However, if assessed based on the strength of Qingrui's Nascent Soul Dao Embryo, it is indeed a fish egg situation.

'Your Majesty, I cannot go to the Four Realms.'

Wang Yuque rose with the tide of the times, perhaps as a deliberate point of focus for Bi Fang to exploit the changing era.

Rakshasa, in cooperation with Bifang.

A drop of water attained enlightenment in the celestial realm.

Wang Yuque's father-in-law, Mu Chunze, is now also a True Person in the Immortal Kingdom.

Wang Yuque's first benefactor, Shenguang, was a subordinate of Bifang.

Wang Yuque's second benefactor, Mang Xiang, was also Bi Fang's subordinate.

Bifang has never fully trusted me, so it's normal that I didn't know about the design involved.

Judging from these clues, it is highly likely that Bifang deliberately designed Wang Yuque's cultivation path.

Otherwise, why would the Jade Pendant have been kept in the Four Spirit Realms by the Dao Lord of Wuji for so long?

Qingrui Immortal Venerable hopes to play a crucial role in the final battle against the supreme being, outside of the Great Heaven and Earth.

But she was wary of the situation in the Four Spirit Realms—she couldn't go to the most risky place right away.

Huanpei has already run away; if she goes there, how can she possibly win?
It's no secret that Wang Yuque is acting like a coward in the Four Spirit Realms; he's been in that cowardly state for a long time, and all the top Golden Core cultivators in the Great Heaven and Earth know about it.

As one of the leaders of the Immortal Alliance, Qingrui naturally knew about it.

The "turtle grandson strategy" may sound undignified, but it's incredibly effective—the fact that the first and second strongest beings in the endless heavens use it with near-monopoly power demonstrates its value.

As long as Wang Yuque doesn't actively break out of his turtle-like state, even if Qingrui passes by, he will be in a rather passive position.

When cultivators reach a higher level, their perception of change becomes extremely obvious.

If we say that the Four Extremes Concealment Platform represents the powerful ability of the Unfixed Dharma King Old Basket to perceive change.

Therefore, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, who established several sets of information collection and change monitoring systems within the Four Spirit Realms, also possessed a powerful ability to perceive changes in the Four Spirit Realms.

Whatever the changes, once their impact on the situation of the Four Spirit Realms reaches a certain level, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable will inevitably notice.

Qingrui was not afraid of losing; she was confident that her Dao Embryo would most likely survive.

However, exposure means failure. The Old Ba Luo, the King of No Fixed Law, judged the timing of the final battle against the Supreme Being based on the three key Dao Pursuers' omniscience of information—not on anything else.

As a Buddhist master who clearly possesses at least the cultivation level of the 'Ignorant Wilderness' realm, Qingrui Pudu also understands the key to the information and the purpose of his leader, Wuding Dharma King, hiding for so long.

If Qingrui revealed her existence within the Four Spirit Realms, it would mean that her Dao Embryo was not in danger of being destroyed. However, the fact that she sent her Dao Embryo out is still inexplicable.

If Bi Fang targets you.
These are the true meanings that Qingrui meant when she spoke to the Dharma King Wuding.

Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to go, but we must prioritize the greater good.

Of course, your overall situation comes first, and mine comes second.

You asked, "Why can't Qingrui just say it directly? Why does she have to subtly deduce this subtext through the relationship between Bifang and Wang Yulou? Isn't that troublesome? (Doesn't the author pad the word count?)" — Because Qingrui can't act like a naive fool. She can be disloyal, but she still has to be loyal when she should be.

She didn't want to directly enter the Four Spirit Realms, where the conflicts were most intense and the attention of the top Golden Core cultivators in the Great Heaven and Earth was most concentrated, but she still needed to show some loyalty.

In other words, in her relationship with the Dharma King Wuding, she is neither a mindless, loyal vessel nor someone with purely selfish thoughts. She is willing to make contributions—sending out the Dao Embryo from the heavens and earth—but she also considers her own interests. Of course, in specific expressions, the Buddha Qingrui Pudu would say, "For the sake of your cause, Dharma King, I am willing to suffer some grievances."

'Wang Yuque is Bifang's pawn'

The Dharma King could subconsciously judge that this was a low-probability event.

It seems that the cultivation path of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable was greatly influenced by Bifang.

But in reality, Bi Fang never paid any price for Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, nor did he ever give Jade Palace Immortal Venerable any key resources—the Great Sun Life and Death Furnace cultivated by Jade Palace Immortal Venerable was unrecognizable to the Golden Core cultivators supported by the Great Heaven and Earth!

Moreover, among the tentacles of the key "Bifang Chess Game" that Qingrui pointed out, even the weakest one, Dripping Water (Mu Chunze, Shenguang, and Mangxiang are not key), is a genuinely powerful Golden Core cultivator.

A golden core forged amidst a chaotic era!
Such a golden elixir cannot be controlled by humans.

Furthermore, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's aura and extraordinary talent did not seem like that of a chess piece.

It can be said that the process by which Jade Palace Immortal Venerable gradually transformed from a pawn into a player through his strength actually proves that he could not possibly be a pawn—he was too high-profile.

'That's possible.'

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is most likely not a pawn, but Qingrui believes he is, and uses this as a reason not to go to the Four Spirit Realms.

Therefore, the King of No Fixed Dharma could only treat the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable as a pawn.

"So what are your thoughts?" King Wuding let Qingrui choose her own path forward.

'I don't need to go directly to the Four Spirit Realms. I also control small worlds in the void. I can fight them little by little and win slowly.'

Anyway, Wang Yuque doesn't know Huanpei has returned, so his progress probably won't be too fast. I can catch up little by little; there's still time.

"That's what Immortal Venerable Qingrui replied."

When Yin Zheng saw that Jade Palace Immortal Venerable had a possibility of obtaining this realm in the Four Spirit Realms, he couldn't help but feel jealous.

Faced with the same situation, Qingrui was remarkably restrained.

The difference in their levels of understanding then becomes apparent.

The uniqueness of the Dao fruit can never be quantified; the difference between perspective and level of understanding is just that abstract.

It was precisely because she had accumulated enough experience, possessed enough leverage, and had a deep understanding of cultivation and confrontation that Qingrui was able to make such a decision.

"But in this way, it won't just be a contest for the Four Spirit Realms. We can also take advantage of Bifang's need for you and Rakshasa, and the opportunity presented by the Winnowing Basket Meeting—the Bifang Alliance—to compete for other small worlds in the void."

The Dharma King Wuding quickly realized Qingrui's true thoughts.

Whether or not there are ulterior motives is not worth considering.

Returning to Qingrui's strategy itself, it was indeed quite reliable.

"Yes, of the benefits gained from exploring the void, Xiaoqing is willing to offer half to Your Majesty."

At this point, the two sides have finally reached an agreement.

'However, you still need to be careful of Wang Yuque. His methods are often quite unexpected.'

I heard that he has started implementing the same old reforms of the Immortal Alliance again in the Four Spirit Realms, still using the same strategy of manipulating people's hearts and deceiving lower-level cultivators into thinking they have a chance.

This method is very ruthless. Various resources and changes are distributed downwards, and the lower-level cultivators, who have little vision, will naturally be deceived.

They might even risk their lives to fight for the order designed by Wang Yuque.

In this way, his efficiency in exploring the void was naturally quite high.

The Dharma King of No Fixed Circumstances was having a headache.

The Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is a 'traitor' among those who cultivate the Golden Elixir. Everyone plunders the lower realms together, and the heavens are reduced by ninety percent.

However, Wang Yuque, despite being a Golden Core cultivator, used methods different from other Golden Core cultivators.

He distributed a large portion of what he had plundered to the lower-level cultivators.
Those low-level cultivators have limited lifespans, weak strength, and are prone to death. Wouldn't it be a waste for them to take resources and changes?

The Dharma King wasn't afraid; even if Wang Yuque chased it for another ten thousand years, he probably still wouldn't be able to catch up to its strength.

Its concern was that Qingrui might lose.
In a power struggle, one cannot easily expose one's Nascent Soul or Dao Embryo. Even though having the Dao Embryo in charge already brings a huge advantage, there is still a risk of failure.

'Your Majesty, actually, I am also preparing to implement a new system.'

The endless heavens are like a testing ground. My power within them can be used in many ways to expand and confront external forces, thereby finding a more efficient method.

In this way, we can prepare in advance for changes in organizational structure and order in preparation for the decisive battle in the future, both within the vast universe and in the void. 'This is how the Buddha of Universal Salvation answered.'

"Is it like Wang Yuque's?" Wuding Fawang understood Qingrui's line of thinking.

Empowering subordinates and sharing benefits is an efficiency-oriented strategy, which is necessary during the expansion phase and in a contest where the speed and efficiency of expansion are the criteria for victory or defeat.

However, the purpose of expansion is to achieve greater victory, not to make the cultivators at the bottom suffer. The most outrageous thing about Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's actions is that he started the involutionary trend of "even Golden Core cultivators still have to be mindful of the whims of lower-level cultivators".

This precedent is very bad for all great cultivators.

We're all animals, what's the point of your anthropomorphic approach?
'No, we'll refer to the Wutian Sect, and of course, we'll also refer to the models of the Immortal Alliance, Immortal Kingdom, Four Seas Alliance, Paradise, and other forces. We'll also try out other new models.'

We don't know when the final battle will begin. Outsiders think that everything will be over after Bifang and Wuji Daozhu finish their fight, but we are the ones who will ultimately prevail.

Therefore, Xiaoqing's idea is to take a long-term view.

Looking to the long term, we need to find a force organization model that is sufficient to support a protracted confrontation and effective in achieving final victory.

In the future, it may become one of the key assets in achieving victory.

Stripping away all the literal meanings, it can be simply understood as the compassionate and merciful Buddha Qingrui saying—Old Deng, in your supreme status, there should be my glory!
I'll repay you for supporting your ambition to be the best.

If you say that the guarantee from the King of No Fixed Dharma is not necessarily valuable—that's a question Qingrui should consider.

"Hasn't the Immortal Ancestor of the Wutian Sect been reorganizing the Wutian Sect all these years?"

Previously, it had been secretly making moves, always expressing that it could not immediately confront the Lord of Wuji Dao.

why?
It is precisely because its Wutian Sect has cultivated a large number of brain-dead celestial immortals and golden immortals over the past 20,000 years.

I don't think that approach will work. 'The King of No Fixed Dharma clearly looks down on the Wutian Sect's model.'

The Immortal Ancestor, the third person in the public eye of the Great Heaven and Earth, but actually the fourth person, the 'Immortal Ancestor' of the Wutian Sect.

Faced with the increasingly high risk of extreme conflicts erupting during the confrontation, the Immortal Ancestor has gone through a lot of trouble in recent years.

Because it was done discreetly, no one noticed it was in a hurry.

But the old man with no fixed Dharma, who carried the Four Extremes Concealment Platform every day to spy on everything, naturally understood everything he saw.

To put it simply, the old basket has been secretly observing the Four Extremes Concealment Platform for tens of thousands of years, and it has recorded the habits and behavioral patterns of every old beast.

If any old man suddenly acts strangely, Old Bolu doesn't even need to know what exactly happened; the strangeness itself can indicate too many problems—not all of them.

Approaching omniscience, combating the wilderness of ignorance, and striving for supremacy.

This approach is also very clever and correct.

'Your Majesty, you are right, but your level of understanding is too high. You are only looking at things from the perspective of the struggle for supremacy.'

It's either Bifang or the Dao Master.

You and the Boundless Dao Master of the Outer Heavens are both ancient supreme beings who attained enlightenment in ancient times.

Bi Fang, as everyone knows, relied on his escape techniques and accumulation to gradually get to where he is today by constantly running and eating.

But take you as an example. In tens of thousands of years, only two people like Wuji Daozhu and Bifang have emerged who can challenge you.

Where is the Immortal Ancestor?
Dharma King, setting aside the perspectives of the three of you in the struggle for supremacy, the Immortal Ancestor is the first among all the countless heavens to come.

Its Wutian Cult is extremely powerful.

Your Majesty, you are right, but your level of understanding is too high, so you are relatively incompetent on this issue.

The Dharma King Wuding remained silent for a moment, then spoke.

This is information about all the key activities of the Immortal Ancestor from the time he established the Purple Palace in the Great Heaven and Earth to the present day, over the past 81,087 years.

Although the information is incomplete, it should be the most complete record.

The Wutian Sect was not built in a day. The Immortal Ancestor experienced the rise and fall of more than a dozen forces, and he himself established seven forces.

There are four styles.

He formed tribes three times, established immortal kingdoms twice, and founded a sect once.

Finally, he founded the Wutian Cult.

Take it and absorb it properly.

Hopefully, this will bring about some crucial changes in our confrontation.

Qingrui was slightly startled.

Immediately, I felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, in the battle for supremacy, although I kept switching sides, the faction I chose was actually not bad.

While the King of No Fixed Dharma may not be able to defeat the Lord of Limitless Dao, the depth of his accumulated power is indeed terrifying.

"Xiaoqing understands, but Dharma King, when can I send my Dao Embryo out of the Great World? Is there an approximate timeframe?"

After the Water God left the stage.

Water Venerable is bound to take the stage. Everyone hopes it will be the first to rise to the top, but it is too eager to be the sole ruler.

So this is your chance; once the battle of the Demon Cave breaks out, you'll be able to get out.

At that time, regardless of whether the integration of the world and the land is successful or not, a new confrontation will always emerge again.

Sending out the Dao Embryo to gain the upper hand in the new standoff is perfect!

After much deliberation, Qingrui realized that this was indeed the most likely trend in the situation.

It was inevitable that Bi Fang would have to confront the Lord of Wuji.

The unification of the Great Heaven and Earth will be a better way to counter the Lord of Limitless Dao, which is inevitable.

By besieging the demon's lair and having the Water Lord lead the charge, integration can be achieved, which is mutually beneficial and has low resistance—the situation where only the Water Lord is dissatisfied naturally has low resistance, which is also inevitable.

Bi Fang wouldn't easily go all in, and neither would the Wuji Dao Master—it's inevitable.

How brainless must they be to so easily go all in on the final confrontation when they've already started with a path of 100,000 years?

So, all things considered, the final battle is still far off.

If you try to develop further, it will be a huge win no matter how you look at it.

Once the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable has won to a certain extent, he can continue to win relatively easily in all sorts of things.

The same applies to Qingrui.

Even though they may look disheveled at times, they will never completely lose or suffer a strategic defeat.

Even though the situation was so critical that even top-tier Golden Core cultivators were struggling to breathe, Qingrui still managed to win every time she had the chance.

The weight of the Dao Fruit and the prestige of the top-tier Golden Core are by no means false.

When Qingrui became one of the few people standing at the very top of the endless world, the change she represented was enormous—no one could kill her easily!

This is the ultimate Dao fruit that countless Dao seekers tirelessly pursue!

'Alright, I'll squeeze the Water Venerable dry first, and then send more people out before the war against the Demon Cave begins.'

By the way, wouldn't it be more advantageous for us if the battle for the Demon Cave broke out later—the later Wang Yuque found out Huanpei had returned, the better?

"That's true, but don't drag it out for too long."

A good strategy is to slowly fight back and gradually build up your power to the point of competing for the Four Spirit Realms.

But if it's too slow, it will give Wang Yuque an opportunity.

This person, when his cultivation was low, seized the opportunity to rise and achieved the Dao fruit of the fastest Golden Core in the Great World.

Later, it burst forth from the vast天地 (heaven and earth) and the 蛟龙 (dragon) entered the sea, and now it's considered a minor problem.

If he were allowed to cultivate peacefully for another few thousand years, he would very likely reach the peak of the Golden Immortal realm.

Get rid of it as soon as possible.

Note that the logic of the Unfixed Dharma King is not that he is afraid of Wang Yulou; his strategy follows the confrontational approach of top-level Daoists who control change.

Any change must be controlled, and all changes that should be controlled must be controlled!
There are differences among cultivators.

Those who are hidden and righteous, or those who cross over to save lives, are like golden immortals, but they also become oxen and horses.

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, as an existence who dares to kill his master, shamelessly and unjustly changes his sect at will, and ruthlessly slaughters countless living beings through his reforms, is another kind of shameless, unjust, and ruthless, and can be called a leader-type Dao pursuer.

Even the largest cattle and horses are still beasts, forever subservient to the powerful.

Even the smallest dragon can stir up the winds and clouds.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I've watched Wang Yuque grow up; I know his problems and, more importantly, I know how to handle him."
-
The Buddha of Universal Salvation and the Dharma King of No Destiny secretly conspire to form a faction strategy against the Supreme Being.

At the Winnowing Basket Gathering, Immortal Venerable Qingrui and Old Man Bolu, along with Immortal King Bifang and many top-tier Golden Core cultivators, fought against Water Venerable.

The old man with the winnowing basket looked troubled, coughed twice, interrupting the conversation between the King of Zaonan and the Water Venerable, and said.

"Taihe Water, you are also an old practitioner."

I don't need to remind you that top-tier Golden Core cultivators aren't recognized, they're earned through strength.

You trade your position as the top Golden Core cultivator in Golden Valley Garden for whether or not you can fight against the Demon Cave.

This shows a complete disregard for us, their fellow comrades.

The person who bullied you knows better than you how wronged you are.

Bo Luo and Qing Rui are two truly despicable beasts. Knowing that Shui Zun would definitely intervene, they treated Shui Zun like a devil.

"That's right, Water Venerable, the identity of the top Golden Core cultivators among us fellow cultivators."

He was first recognized by the world before he joined the Bamboo Grove Society.

So, it's all settled now. Following your plan, today you recommended Jingu Garden.

Will I be able to upload Qiu Maitreya tomorrow?
Isn't this all in complete chaos?

As a Golden Core cultivator within the Immortal Alliance, Qingrui shouldn't directly harm Taihe Shui, but she's still incredibly sarcastic and unpredictable.

"Qingrui, don't be unreasonable. How can Jin Guyuan and Qiu Mile be the same?"

If Qiu Maitreya could join the Bamboo Sweeping Gathering, then the top-tier Golden Elixir cultivators at the gathering would be a joke.

Shui Zun was also under heavy attack, and he said all sorts of things, making him seem almost like a 'little fairy boy' for a while.

However, as the organizer of the Boluo Association, Boluo was respectable, and as Shuizun's colleague, Qingrui was also respectable.

Others would be disrespectful.

"Haha, how can that be the same?"

Water Venerable, Water Venerable, your words are truly interesting.

Is someone really that different from you?
Or perhaps, because Jin Gu Yuan served you so well that you liked her so much, you made some promise to her in bed?
If you ask me, cultivators still need to keep their pants in check.

What's that saying again—don't let your little head control your big head.

The yellow-robed Buddha scoffed, "This rat monk is truly wicked; there's no way to humiliate someone like this."

Taihe Shuizun, a top-tier Golden Core cultivator and a leader among those pursuing the Dao, was still criticized by the Yellow-Robed Buddha as "unable to control his crotch and having his big head controlled by his small head."

To put it simply, it's as absurd as praising an emperor for playing football well.

That was the ultimate humiliation.

On the platform of the Bolu Hui (a Buddhist gathering), bursts of cheerful laughter immediately rang out.

Even with his composure, Shui Zun's expression was visibly strained, and he managed to squeeze out a few words through his teeth.

"Yellow-robed! How dare you speak ill of me like this?"

"Hey~"

The yellow-clad rat pursed its lips slightly, revealing a few teeth, and gave a perfunctory reply without continuing to press the water deity.

Team building activities are fun for a while, but jumping too high is like jumping into a crematorium.

One strike and then retreat, one enjoys the thrill and then shrinks back – how can that not be considered high-level combat?
"Alright, stop arguing. The situation is simple: Taihe Water needs to demonstrate the responsibility of a top-tier Golden Core cultivator, but it's afraid of being tricked."

Therefore, the status of Golden Core cultivators in Golden Valley Garden is still negotiable.

The Water Venerable was not going to fight alone after all, and the Dragon God Zhizhi spoke up to help it out of its predicament.

Tianlong Hall has been taken over by Shui Zun.

"You're quite generous."

Thus, Zhizhi, you shall cede ten thousand miles of territory from your Four Seas Alliance to the Water Lord.

How about letting it give this to its little goldfish to eat?

Cangshan immediately jumped up.

discuss?

Damn it!
Does Shui Zun want the so-called top-tier Golden Core status from Golden Valley Garden?
No, what it wants is to first devour the Immortal Alliance's new capital, so that the strength of the Golden Valley Garden can be raised to a new level, and then it will go to attack the Demon Cave!

But Xinjingzhou is located south of Qunqingyuan in Cangshan.
In the past, when Cangshan's strength was insufficient, it could ignore Xinjingzhou and adopt a strategy of lying low, constantly seeking attention, and achieving small victories.

Now, Cangshan has joined the Boluo Association, and it also has the support of Dedingwang and Bifang.

It had already begun planning for Xinjingzhou long ago, so how could it possibly hand it over to Shuizun?
"That's right, Fellow Daoist Zhizhi is the most responsible."

In that case, Fellow Daoist Zhizhi, you should first allocate that ten thousand li territory to our Shengxian Prefecture.

Then, I allocated another 10,000 li to Chongxian Prefecture.

Finally, Chongxian Prefecture was assigned to Xinjing Prefecture, a distance of 10,000 li.

In this way, Shui Zun can obtain 10,000 li from Xinjingzhou, and the problem will be solved.

This plan is perfect.

Following the suggestion of the Dragon God Zhizhi, the Demon Emperor Rakshasa proposed a 'perfect plan'.

Lao Luo and Cangshan are in the same camp.

It doesn't eat Xinjingzhou, but it can't sit idly by and watch the Water Venerable faction have a second top-tier Golden Core cultivator within the Immortal Alliance.

Golden Valley Garden God Venerable is the closest contender to the top-tier Golden Core stage among the Golden Immortals of the Immortal Alliance.

If she could indulge in a large meal, even if her strength didn't reach the relative level of a top-tier Golden Core cultivator, she could still make a significant leap forward, reaching a level close to that of Cangshan thousands of years ago.

Don't forget that the development of cultivation world is constantly breaking through the limitations of the old era, and the speed at which newcomers catch up is always faster.

In particular, Jingu Garden also has the help of Shuizun.

"Shut your dog mouth, Rakshasa! Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"

Zhizhi Longshen uttered a remark, then immediately shrank back.

We mustn't rush in, we mustn't rush in. If these lowly beasts ultimately choose to carve out territory from the Four Seas Alliance, they will be awarded the title of 'Most Responsible Person in the Great World'.

Is that an honorific title or a sign of prestige?

Shit!

That's a complete blow; the entire Mata team suffered a loss.

Moreover, even with Rakshasa's ridiculous plan, the second step, "allocating 10,000 li from Shengxian Prefecture to Chongxian Prefecture," couldn't be implemented!

"Alright, stop arguing, Rakshasa. Your Immortal Alliance should unite now."

I understand the Water Venerable's thoughts, I understand the Immortal King's plans, and I know what you and Qingrui are worried about.

But things always need to be resolved. Will arguing back and forth kill the Dao Master of Limitless Realm?

The Immortal Ancestor spoke, and it was a tiger's roar that instantly silenced the entire arena.

If we're talking about a fierce tiger, then it's practically a paper tiger, a joke.

That tiger-like appearance was just a fake tiger that only resembled a real tiger.

But the Immortal Ancestor, as the nominal third person, is the true tiger of the Great World.

The tiger roared through the mountains and forests. Bifang turned its head and Boluo focused its attention. Qingrui's expression changed and it immediately began to spray.

"After years of cultivation, we certainly don't want to see the Dao Lord of Wuji reign supreme and make everyone his slaves."

But even after the Water Venerable expands, he might not necessarily intervene. What brilliant plan does the Immortal Venerable have in store?

Old Deng, stop pretending.

If you want to ease the situation, you must be prepared to bear the consequences.

Zhi Zhilongshen's single sentence nearly caused the Four Seas Alliance to be swept away by ten thousand miles.

If the Immortal Ancestor wants to show off, he has to pay the price.

Otherwise, why pretend to be so important?

Absolute scarcity of resources creates a harsh living environment. Top-tier Golden Core cultivators possess extremely abundant resources, yet their living environment is even more brutal than that of ordinary creatures in the most perilous moments.

Firstly, there is the sunk cost; the Water Venerable would never allow himself to spend tens of thousands of years cultivating only to end up paying the price.

Secondly, there is the problem of insatiable greed, to the point that any conflict, regardless of its dimensions, could become a flashpoint for escalating tensions—the appetite is bottomless, and one can never be satisfied.

Therefore, everyone will hold a team-building event with the Water God, and therefore, the Water God will never back down.

"I guarantee Taihe Water!"

"First, we'll attack the demon's lair. If we win, the integration of the entire world will officially begin, and we could even consider it a success."

"After the success, the Immortal Alliance will be able to acquire a lot of territory from the Demon Caves, and Taihe Water will take an additional third of Xinjingzhou."

"I guarantee, Taihe Water, if you don't receive your winnings after winning, I'll get them for you!"

"Of course, if you fail, the situation will become troublesome, and we will naturally help you. You will have no fear of death or destruction."

"Fellow Daoists, what do you think?"

The tiger roars at the winnowing basket gathering, and the immortal ancestor reveals his heart.

What kind of heart?

Ambition!

Ordinary existence bears the cost, and once it does, it becomes the cost.

The Immortal Ancestor bore the cost in order to gain more benefits!
Bo Luo and Bi Fang exchanged a glance, their eyes conveying a complex mix of emotions.

Instead of studying why they are complicated and what makes them complicated.

To put it simply, they knew that the Immortal Ancestor was doing this in order to further advance towards becoming the supreme ruler, and even to plan to become the fourth candidate for supreme ruler.

The specific way to achieve this is likely to unite a group of top-tier Golden Core cultivators in the lower tiers to fight against Bifang, Daozhu, and Boluo at the top.

Things always develop in the direction of least resistance, because that is when the cost is minimal.

The top-tier golden elixir in the waist, such as Taihe Water, Rakshasa, or Yellow-Robed Buddha, also needs a leader to fight against Bifang and Boluo.

This is an inevitable step in the development of the times, and a spiral ascent in the evolution of contradictions.

Led by the Immortal Ancestor, and pulling along the top-tier Golden Core cultivators at their waists, they plotted together to ascend to higher realms.

The key point is that, for Bifang and Boluo, this matter is unstoppable.

It's complicated, but the result is that it can't be stopped.

“One-third is a bit too little,” Taihe Shuizun was the first to express his opinion.

It's truly fearless—come and try to cut me down if you dare?

If a real fight breaks out, it wants the profits from the Demon Cave, and it also wants the profits from New Jingzhou.

In fact, in the eyes of the Water Lord, winning twice is not enough.

I've paid such a high price, if I don't rip off your gold coins, wouldn't I be getting a freebie?
"Oh? A third is a bit too little."
In that case, Fellow Daoist Bifang, you also need to express your sincerity.

How about we give Taihe Water more support?

The Immortal Ancestor was not swayed by the Water Venerable's greed—he didn't fantasize about 'I've already taken on so much responsibility, why don't you understand my good intentions?'

It knew that Shui Zun was a pure bad seed and a pure idiot (not stupid, just describing the relationship between the two), and was mentally prepared for any of Taihe Shui Zun's actions.

“I can add another five hundred strands of the essence of the grotto heaven.”

Taihe Water, you will always have to participate in the battle.

"Whether you join the war early or late, there's not much difference."

Bifang gave his quote.

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Taihe Shui, you are, after all, an experienced cultivator with great strength, and your business in Huzhou is quite solid."

It's nothing more than launching a preemptive attack; the only casualties are some subordinates, but it gives you the chance to win part of the territory of Xinjingzhou and part of the Demon Cave, and you can also train disciples.

"Wouldn't that be great?" Zhizhi Dragon God also chimed in with his advice.

Tianlongtang hopes that Jinguyuan will help the Dragon God ascend to the throne and enhance Tianlongtang's influence.

However, the dragon gods were unwilling to pay too high a price.

Winning is good.

If we can't win, then we can't win.

"One-third of Xinjingzhou is too much, one-tenth at most!"

Cangshan jumped out again; it was genuinely afraid.

Giving one-third of the water vessel sounds nice, but how to divide that one-third will be a big problem.

Just think about it, Taihe Water is bound to cause trouble.

"I think Fellow Daoist Immortal Ancestor and Fellow Daoist Bifang's arrangements are quite good. Taihe Water, think it over carefully."

The benefits are multifaceted; as long as you win, your situation will immediately change.

In the end, Bo Luo let Taihe Shui off the hook.

The main point is that, given the agreement reached between the Immortal Ancestor and Bifang, any further obstruction would lead to a 'paid interception' process.

At this point in the dynamic game, the situation is becoming relatively clear.

"Fellow Daoist Taihe Shui, no one is more suitable to take action than you. The times have given you this opportunity, and Fellow Daoist Immortal Ancestor is backing you up. You should seize this opportunity," Lan Jinlong God advised.

The current situation is that the Immortal Ancestor is in charge of the opening ceremony. He has already dealt with Bi Fang and most of the top-tier Golden Core cultivators. The Immortal Ancestor's plan has been compromised, but at least there is a possibility of resolving the problem.

The only problem is that Taihe Water is too greedy.

As for Cangshan's opposition?
Nobody cares—nobody pays any attention to it.

Lan Jin is the Dragon God of Tianlong Hall and the second-in-command of Wutian Sect. His words represent Tianlong Hall and Wutian Sect.

As if a starting gun had been fired, after Lan Jin, almost all the top Golden Core cultivators began to advise Shui Zun.

The main storyline of the era of opposing the Outer Heavens and opposing the Lord of the Limitless Dao has now unexpectedly turned into a situation where the Water Venerable is captured and cooked first.

However, after glancing at the Immortal Ancestor, then at the smiling Bo Luo, the calm and unfathomable Bi Fang, and the so-called fellow Daoists with their varying attitudes and slightly pleased expressions, the Water Venerable suddenly felt that something was... hard to say.

They put you on the brink of disaster, making you pay the price, and promising you a bunch of unfulfilled promises.

Then, they'll hypocritically tell you—this is an opportunity of the times, you're too capable, so everyone is expecting you to step forward.

Forcing good women into prostitution is nothing more than this.

However, this time the target of their attack is the supreme ruler of the Huzhou region, the leader of the Immortal Alliance, and the master of the Great Heaven and Earth Water Technique, the Supreme Water Venerable.

He had clearly reached the position of leader of a top power, clearly achieved near-monopoly power within his own territory, and clearly become a top-tier Golden Core cultivator.

However, such a Taihe Water Vessel can still become a price to pay at certain times and in certain situations.

Go forth, Taihe Water, and pay the price.

We've been very good to you; you should thank us.

Of course, you don't have to say thank you.

If you go ahead and do it, we'll be very satisfied.

A powerful and influential figure?

The Immortal Alliance in the Central Plains?

On the Terrace of Immortals, do they claim to be ancestors and lineages?

Kneel down!

Kneel before this reality!
Shui Zun closed his eyes, sighed deeply in his heart, and when he opened them again, his expression was resolute.

"Okay, I agree."

But each and every one of you, I mean each and every one of you.

They must send me ten True Persons at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm and one Celestial Immortal at the mid-stage of the Celestial Immortal realm.

Otherwise, I won't move.

You bunch of bastards! If you can't even send me this many men, I'd rather fight you first!
The Water God may not charge, but it still needs to win, and it also has confidence in its own strength.

But rushing forward doesn't mean rushing forward blindly; you should strive to obtain the necessary conditions and support.

As the members of the Boluo Society said, it is indeed advantageous for Huzhou and Taihe Water Palace to launch an attack on the Demon Cave.

The cave is underground, and the Water Venerable has transformed half of the vast expanse of the lake region into his own sacred space.

Therefore, a situation of suppression was formed, a situation of suppression over the demon cave.

However, in actual confrontations, offense always comes at a greater cost than defense—this has been fully demonstrated in the wars between local forces and sects during the Immortal Alliance Reform.

Therefore, the Water Lord needs to gather more filler babies to reduce the loss of its own direct descendants.

Of course, considering that the Bo Luo Hui (a type of alchemy) contains only top-grade Golden Elixir, its price is extremely high.

Celestial beings are never unknown figures.

Even the ox- and horse-type Golden Cores are still Golden Cores; there are only a little over a thousand Golden Cores in the vast universe.

But Taihe Water Vessel only needs more than twenty of them!

The water vessel, which was forced into prostitution for the first time, obviously had a higher price, exceeding the market price.

"Taihe Water, you want too much."

"I can't give you a Celestial Immortal, but I can give you ten late-stage Purple Mansion cultivators," the Yellow-Robed Buddha replied.

The universe has long since reached its limit in terms of its capacity to accommodate cultivators.

For a top-tier Golden Core cultivator, sending their Celestial Immortal disciples to Taihe Water would be tantamount to sending their direct lineage to serve as cannon fodder.

"At the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm, as long as you have time, you can cultivate as many as you want."
This isn't your average confrontation. If you want me to step in, you can't just make empty promises!

After accepting the situation of being forced into prostitution, Taihe Shui calmed down.

It finally understood that after Bi Fang made his move, everyone's expectation had become that 'Taihe Shui is the right person to make the first move, and Bi Fang has already made some arrangements.'

In this situation, if it still harbors any ambition to ultimately dominate, it can only follow the lead of Bifang and Boluo, accepting the fate of being the first to act as a price to pay, in accordance with the expectations of this trough.

"Alright, Taihe's request for water is not excessive."

However, even within the vast world, there are not many mid-stage Celestial Immortals.

I think we can wait until the fighting starts and then deploy troops as needed based on the situation.

Taihe Shuidao, you can always trust me, right?

My Wutian Church will follow your lead closely, so you can rest assured.

The Immortal Ancestor is still attacking; this fourth person in the Great World is trying to gain a point of victory for himself—similar to the strategy that Cangshan once used in the Immortal Alliance.

Water Venerable stared at Immortal Ancestor for a long time. He understood that Immortal Ancestor wanted to integrate the top-level Golden Cores in the waist area and the top-level Golden Cores in the back area, thereby constructing a new dimension in the struggle for supremacy.

Therefore, the Immortal Ancestor needed it as a horse bone.

"Alright, everyone please send ten late-stage Purple Mansion cultivators first, and then I will make my move."

Finally, depending on the situation, I will request support.

If you sit idly by and watch me suffer defeat without offering assistance, then I may withdraw my forces back to Huzhou at any time.

And it will never move again!

This is:

The Immortal Ancestor led the way in forcing women into prostitution, and the Supreme Water Venerable made his grand entrance!
The first round of the first truly supreme confrontation in history will be kicked off by Taihe Shui, the leader of the Great Heaven and Earth Immortal Alliance!
