Shangyuque

Chapter 378 The radiant light of the sun shines without end, and tears of gratitude flow like a long river!
The Thirteen Caves of Chongshan are the place where the sect welcomes guests.

Master Haikuo was the last to arrive. As soon as he entered, Cui Baihao stood up to greet him.

The Jade Palace School can be broadly divided into three general factions.

The Red Lantern School, the Reform School, the Daoist Couple School, and the direct lineage of the Immortal Venerable.

Correspondingly, there is the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's Red Lantern Illumination Base, the Jade Palace Base obtained through the Immortal Alliance Reform, and the Immortal Venerable's Daoist companion.

The direct descendants of the Immortal Venerable are a few individuals who have been trusted and utilized by the Immortal Venerable for a long time—mainly Bai Lu, and Wang Yu'an can also be considered one.

Among them, Cui Baihao was the true number one who spanned both the first and second factions.

Perhaps, Master Kongkong, Ancestor Jinshan, or even Master Haikuo are stronger than Cui Baihao.

However, in terms of influence and true status within the faction, figures like Old Cui, who have always been at the forefront within the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's sight, are still superior.

"Brother Haikuo, please sit down. There is a great occasion today."

As his cultivation improved, Cui Baihao was no longer the sleazy old man he once was, but transformed into a dignified middle-aged man.

He seemed quite reliable. Master Haikuo exchanged a few pleasantries with him, greeted the Immortal Venerable's Daoist companions, and then sat down next to Master Kongkong.

"Fellow Daoist Baihao, what great thing are you talking about? Is it related to the special gathering of us to the Thirteen Caves of Chongshan?"

Yu Hongdou and Hongdou Zhenren, being the foremost couple among the Immortal Venerables, immediately inquired about the matter.

Chuan Jiangyue is a true immortal from the Thirteen Caves of Chongshan. Yu Hongdou asked Cui Baihao instead of her because the two had a bad relationship.

After the Immortal Venerable left, the conflict within the Jade Palace Sect intensified.

As the Immortal Venerable's whereabouts became increasingly unknown, the intensity of the conflict continued to rise.

This can be simply understood as a situation where resource scarcity exacerbates unfair distribution and internal conflicts continue to accumulate.

"Yes and no." Old Cui was still as arrogant as ever, having deeply inherited the true teachings of the Immortal Venerable. His answer made many of the Jade Generals frown.

Seeing that no one wanted to hear his suspense, Old Cui stopped beating around the bush and spoke directly.

"The Immortal Alliance is about to go to war with the Demon Cave. Senior Water Venerable has issued a conscription order to the six states."

This matter has not yet spread, but I have already confirmed that our Shengxian Prefecture will send more than sixty Purple Mansion True Persons to the front line.

This matter is dangerous, but it also presents an opportunity.

Danger, but also an opportunity—wrong!

It is an extremely dangerous opportunity.

But for great cultivators who truly need to undergo transformation, transformation itself is an opportunity.

Many of the Jade Generals, in particular, had been unable to get enough to eat within the Eastern Pole Sect for a long time and were already impatient to eat.

Therefore, even if it means going to the battlefield, many people are still willing to go.

"What does this have to do with the Thirteen Caves of Chongshan?"

Gu Qiyuan and Master Qiyuan asked from the side.

It's not that all of the immortals' old acquaintances can live, but rather that the era of the Great World is just so desolate.

Once you've created a Purple Mansion, you become an immortal—even a wandering immortal is still an immortal.

"Shengxian Prefecture will send more than sixty people, but only three to five, or at most five, will be assigned to the Dongji Sect."

Would our esteemed Water Immortal give us such an opportunity?
Will it be given to Gu Qiyuan, who has no roots or unclear origins, or to Hongdou Zhenren, or to me?

"None of us know how, so we have to figure it out ourselves."

As he spoke, Cui Baihao pointed mysteriously upwards, where, of course, lay the Immortal Venerable Donglai of the Thirteen Caves of Chongshan.

Everyone in the hall, from the Immortal Venerable's Chief Steward Bai to the Immortal Venerable's Daoist partners, immediately looked at each other in bewilderment.

Is Lao Cui playing with fire and getting burned? Is he trying to drag the Jade Palace Sect into starting their own business?

It's not that people doubt Old Cui's loyalty, it's just that the Immortal Venerable has been gone for so long, and people's hearts change faster than anything else.

Cui Baihao's betrayal now is actually too late—Zhang Xuewu and Wang Yaohai betrayed him long ago.

However, those two were, after all, from the Dripping Water Cave Heaven, and their betrayal was rightfully that of the Dripping Water Immortal Venerable.

However, without any prior notice, Cui Bai led everyone to betray the Thirteen Caves of Chongshan and defect to the Eastern Immortal Venerable's sect.

This is really too crazy.

"Old Cui, what exactly do you mean? Do you mean you want to betray the kindness of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable and defect to the Thirteen Caves of Chongshan?"

Master Kongkong stepped forward. He was an old man and was basically certain that he had little chance of attaining the Golden Core stage.

Therefore, it can be unrestrainedly loyal—unrestrained when it should be unrestrained, and fiercely loyal when it should be loyal.

Although he cannot do whatever he wants without overstepping the bounds, he is still a carefree and leisurely old immortal.

Let me say it again—a wandering immortal is still an immortal. The Purple Palace of the Great Heaven and Earth is no longer a Purple Palace, but a wandering immortal.

Of course, people still call it Zifu.

"Kongkong, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Even if someone betrays the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, it cannot be me, Old Cui, who betrays the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable!

Without the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, I might never have been able to establish my foundation in this lifetime. My talent would have been buried and died without ever blossoming.

The Immortal Lord rescued me from the poisonous flow of divine light.

The Immortal Venerable gave me the opportunity to establish my foundation.

The Immortal Lord gave me a stage to showcase my abilities.

The Immortal Venerable led me to reform the Immortal Alliance, changing the fate of countless people.

Everything I have was given to me by the Immortal Venerable. I will always be loyal to the Immortal Venerable and will always be his person!
But fellow Daoists, our Jade Palace Sect needs to find a way to survive.

The great war between the Immortal Alliance and the Demon Cave has begun, and the Great Empowerment will follow.

In the midst of the great battle, countless people perished, and the constraints of heaven and earth were further loosened.

Those who achieve meritorious service will have the opportunity to attain the Golden Core stage!

Therefore, the Water Immortal will not give us the opportunity to go to the front line.

We have to find this opportunity ourselves.

The lower-level cultivators hid from the loyalists and didn't want to offer sacrifices, but when they were captured by the loyalist team, they felt that they were in grave danger.

But the Purple Mansions within the vast world, having endured countless hardships to reach this point, are faced with an absolute fortress of steel.

Even if it means risking their lives, or changing jobs to do illegal work, they will still take that step.

勇？
No, it's greed!

Of course, it can also be understood as a yearning for a wonderful realm of cultivation.

Previously, those who aspired to the Golden Core stage didn't have the opportunity to pursue it later, but now that the opportunity has arisen, they naturally have to pursue it.

"Your solution is for us to join the Chongshan Thirteen Caves?"

Zhou Yingxi asked, dissatisfied.

The Eastern Pole Sect is the family business of Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, and she will never allow Cui Baihao to mess around.

Even if there were a few drops of water pressing down, in Zhou Yingxi's view, it was nothing more than an internal conflict.

If Cui Baihao does this, and the internal conflict becomes public, things will get complicated—this is also the point that Hongli is most dissatisfied with.

Colluding with outsiders is an act that is utterly despicable, no matter where it is committed.

Cui Baihao could not ignore the accusations from Kongkong, Zhou Yingxi, and others. His eyes flickered, and he finally made no further concessions.

"It wasn't my idea; it was Immortal Venerable Donglai who contacted me on his own initiative."

Suddenly, everyone looked at each other.

Many people had an uncontrollable look of worry in their eyes.

Cui Baihao's nonsense may be a mix of truth and falsehood, but his act of colluding with outsiders to wreak havoc on the sect is real.

Opportunity is like poisoned bait; you take it and you have a chance, but it's not loyal.

But for cultivators, this is not a test.
Jade Palace Immortal Venerable has been gone for too long, and the conflict among the Purple Mansions within the Eastern Pole Sect is well-known throughout Shengxian Prefecture.
Is it possible that we will ultimately be used by outsiders today?
Is the foundation that the Immortal Venerable left behind in this vast world about to be destroyed by Donglai?
On the other side, when faced with Donglai's question, "Can't Bifang and the others guess what the Water God is thinking?", the Bull Demon God sank the bull's head into the water.

It is thinking.

After a long while, the Bull Demon God resurfaced.

Large swathes of white mist billowed from the cow's nose, its voice deep and terrifying.

"A great change may occur, as swift as thunder."

Dragons and snakes rise from the land, vying and roaring.

Heaven has no moral order, and people are filled with unease.

As for those caught in the middle of it all, regardless of their level of cultivation, they are all akin to ants.

"Junior brother, you haven't reached that level yet, so of course you can't understand Bifang's predicament!"

Donglai, don't dream of the golden hoe. Old Bi Deng is just an ant on a hot pan!

The ability to see through appearances to the essence remains important even at the Golden Immortal level.

"Senior brother, I understand what you mean. You mean we can't afford to deplete our own strength in the first wave of probing between the two camps?"

Donglai asked, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Indeed, indeed.

Why doesn't Taihe Water dare to participate?

It's definitely not because I'm not strong enough!
Rather, it clearly sees that this first wave of confrontation is unlikely to yield any results!

Bifang and Daozhu are not shallow or reckless people.

In our eyes, it's nothing more than confrontation, scheming, and striving for victory.

In their eyes, this might be the last confrontation.

How will they handle their chips in the final showdown?

From the perspective of the Supreme Being, the Bull Demon King absolutely did not believe that Bifang, Wuji, or even Boluo would dare to recklessly use their resources in what might be the final confrontation.

For a top-tier cultivator on the verge of absolute supremacy, the time for 'embarrassment' must come when it's time to be 'embarrassed'.

Under a cautious strategy, how will the Water Lord and the Demon Cave fight?
How can others participate?
The Eastern Immortal Venerable clearly has a plan; he is undergoing a gradual transformation from a Celestial Immortal to a Golden Immortal.

"Senior brother, since the first wave of fighting didn't happen, we can definitely raise our expectations."

If we can gain some merit in battle, we can share in the spoils if the overall situation is won.

Even if things don't go well, according to you, we can still accumulate strength and calmly deal with the situation while Bifang and the Dao Lord take their time."

Guided by the Bull Demon King, Donglai realized there was another path.

Instead of hiring Yu Dajiang to die, they directly sent their own elites to compete for credit.

After pondering for a long time, the water buffalo said...

"Wrong. We need to think like it's the 'final showdown,' and this thinking should be applied throughout the entire process, not just focusing on the result!"

"Throughout the entire process, not just the result"

Donglai comprehended, comprehended, comprehended, and remained silent for a full four or five hours.

High-level games never favor idiots; those without insight will eventually become the price to pay in a battle for supremacy.

The idea of ​​relying on luck to advance is just wishful thinking in high-level games—large-scale wars don't consider the strength of individuals, and high-level battles don't consider the outcome of a single battle.

If the battle drags on and takes too long, these idiots will only lose completely!

However, although Donglai was not a fool, he really couldn't understand the true meaning behind his senior brother's advice.

"Senior brother, what exactly are you worried about?"

Faced with the tense situation, even if Donglai Immortal Venerable wanted to remain calm, he could not truly stay calm; his senior brother was clearly deep in thought.
The water buffalo plunged into the spirit pool once more, its voice faintly emanating from the depths.

"Wang Yuque has contacted me."

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable contacted the Bull Demon God!
Donglai was taken aback at first, and then even more puzzled.

Wang Yuque is just a child who is less than two thousand years old. He is in another world outside the endless void. How could he contact the Bull Demon God who is in the Great World?
"Senior brother, are you kidding me? We'll just use Wang Yuque's people as a price for ours. His opinion isn't that important."

Ultimately, it's a minor matter; after all, we still protected his remaining men.

With a splash, the water parted to both sides from the back of the Bull Demon God.

"Junior brother, now that things have come to this, I have nothing left to hide."

Although the master died tragically at the hands of the Rakshasa, he left behind his Golden Immortal Dharma.

Its name is "Great Sun Furnace of Life and Death."

Both the Bull Demon Society and the Thirteen Caves of Chongshan are lineages of the Sword and Wine Master Ziji, while the Golden Immortal technique that Jade Palace Immortal Master has cultivated is the 'Great Sun Furnace of Life and Death' obtained from Bifang!
This is why Jade Palace Immortal Venerable was able to contact the Bull Demon.

"What? Master left behind the Golden Immortal Technique?"

Donglai asked, somewhat dumbfounded.

Then, an awkward silence fell over both the spirit pool and the surrounding area.

Why the silence?
The senior brother held onto the Dharma teachings but never shared them with his junior brother.

Then, the good senior brother became a Golden Immortal, while the good junior brother was like a fool, knowing nothing about the Golden Immortal technique from beginning to end.

This is not a heartwarming story.
"Yes, but junior brother, it's difficult for me too."

It's easy to give you the Golden Immortal Technique, but think about it, are you really capable of matching the power of a Golden Immortal?
Once you become a Golden Immortal, you'll need to move around to increase your cultivation efficiency.

You've made a move; I can't just ignore it.

The two of us Golden Immortals together would be quite conspicuous.

The waters of the universe have been deep for countless years. Even a master as powerful as him can face life-or-death difficulties if he is not careful.

We are far inferior to our master.

We must be careful, or we might both perish.

Donglai suppressed his complicated thoughts, which were growing rapidly like weeds after a rain, and forced a smile as he replied.

"Senior brother, you're right."

After another long silence, Donglai was truly at a loss as to how to deal with the current situation.

Golden Immortal Technique, Golden Immortal Technique.

The ascent to immortality is endless, but the Golden Immortal is considered a kind of peak on the path of ascent.

The Golden Immortal Technique allows those with sufficient strength and foundation to achieve the status of a Golden Immortal.

However, the Golden Immortal Techniques in this world may only be passed down to disciples by a dying master.

The reason why the Bull Demon was given such an opportunity might be precisely because the Sword Master of Wine recognized the Bull Demon's talent.

As for himself, he had long been abandoned by his master.
"Donglai, Donglai, my good junior brother."

Things are different now. With all the dignitaries entering, nothing is under our control, and the road ahead is dark and uncertain.

Those people, in their quest for absolute supremacy, were willing to force Taihe Water to serve as a price.

The winds, rain, thunder, and lightning of the universe were so powerful that even the Taihe Water, which cultivated water magic, could not withstand them.

I no longer have the confidence to shield you from the wind and rain.

Wang Yuque is not a human.

Rakshasa are even more beasts.

Throughout the vast world, Wang Yuque is already quite anthropomorphic.

It brought about many changes, and in the Four Spirit Realms, it obtained its own true Dao Fruit.

Furthermore, someone else obtained the Great Sun Furnace of Life and Death from an unknown source and, through the Great Sun Radiance Divine Power of this method, made contact with me.

We are more like prisoners trapped in a cage.

You were once troubled by the boundary that distinguished Golden Immortals from Celestial Immortals over those thirty thousand years.

But in reality, how does the Golden Immortal of the Great Heaven and Earth compare to the Great Harmony Water?
Therefore, from a holistic perspective, we need to win over Wang Yuque as an ally.

The cultivators of the Jade Palace Sect have been treated like stepchildren all these years.

As their senior brothers, of course we should lend them a hand.

Niu Mo's words were quite earnest, but Dong Lai disagreed with them.

If the Bull Demon King and Wang Yuque cultivated the same Golden Immortal Technique, then the Bull Demon King and Wang Yuque should be enemies.

Now, the fact that Bull Demon and Donglai are pretending to be painstakingly maintaining things seems rather absurd.

Furthermore, the excuse given by the Bull Demon King that "Wang Yuque obtained the Great Sun Life-and-Death Furnace from who knows where" is also a nonsensical logic that sounds wrong at first glance and is even more wrong upon closer inspection.

In short, the only thing Donglai was certain of when facing his "good senior brother" was that his "good senior brother" was indeed not telling the truth.
"Senior brother, junior brother's understanding of cultivation has always been insufficient."

Seeing what happened to the Water Venerable, I feel a chill run down my spine. I will remember my senior brother's advice and keep it in mind at all times.

Donglai first put on a show of being nice to everyone, as if our relationship was still good.

Then, following the Bull Demon's lead, he said...

"Those Jade Palace Sect cultivators have already arrived at Mount Chong. Shall I go and meet them now?"

They should at least pretend to cooperate. Now that they've separated from the Bull Demon King, they're throwing themselves into disarray in the face of this major upheaval.

The two have supported each other for a long time, and in a sense, neither of them can live without the other.

Therefore, Donglai is currently focusing on specific matters, just getting by little in order to keep going.

As for the future, he couldn't think of any good solutions for the time being.

The good senior brother is no longer a good senior brother, and the opponents are still wolves and tigers.

As if shrouded in an impenetrable smoke screen, Donglai felt he couldn't see anything clearly, and the pressure felt solid and tangible.

“No, summon them here so that Wang Yuque can communicate with them directly.”

The Bull Demon King gave Donglai another unexpected answer.

The Great Sun's Radiance, the Golden Immortal's Method, produced by the Wine Sword Venerable Ziji.

Those outdated ancient methods are indeed just a roadside stall.

But even among the countless roadside paths, there are always top-notch methods that can still shine like stars in the tide of the new era.

"The Great Sun's Crucible of Life and Death is indeed extraordinary."

Donglai sighed inexplicably, then activated his power to open the boundary between heaven and earth and the Bull Demon Cave.

The Bull Demon King remained unfazed by the strange and sarcastic remarks from the East.

Junior brother, even if I gave you the Golden Immortal Technique, you still wouldn't be able to withstand it!

In this respect, it truly has a clear conscience.

Donglai Immortal Venerable is a foolish junior brother in front of the Bull Demon King, and relatively brain-dead among immortal venerables, but this does not contradict his objective strength.

The Immortal Venerable's wondrous methods possess boundless power, and his disciple, Ziji, is truly extraordinary.

Over there, Donglai was still standing inside the Bull Demon Cave.

Over here, the Eastern Immortal Venerable has already used his wondrous creation techniques to open a portal leading directly to the grotto heaven in front of the Jade Generals within the thirteen caves of Chongshan.

"Come in, everyone."

The tone of the Eastern Immortal Venerable was unreadable, but Zhou Yingxi stepped forward directly.

"Senior Donglai, we were summoned here by Fellow Daoist Baihao. We thought it was something important, but we didn't expect it was Senior Donglai who personally summoned us."

"I wonder, what is the purpose of Senior Donglai contacting us specifically through Fellow Daoist Baihao?"

Everyone understands the situation, and Zhou Yingxi's purpose is not to ask.

Despite being just a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator, Yingxi stood there with an exceptionally straight spine.

Damn you, Donglai! My husband is gone, but as long as it's not confirmed that he's dead, you can't touch his business!

As the most famous and important of Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's Daoist partners, Zhou Yingxi knew that she was a valuable asset that could be used to withstand pressure.

At this point, she had to step forward.

The Immortal Venerable is gone, and she cannot stand idly by while Cui Baihao, under the guise of loyalty to the Immortal Venerable, leads the Immortal Venerable's team astray.

At this moment, she is the Immortal Venerable's disciple, she is the Immortal Venerable's tentacle, she is the Immortal Venerable's extension, she is the embodiment of the Immortal Venerable's will.

"Yingxi, you've misunderstood. Come on, I wouldn't detain you."

Immortal Venerable Donglai shook his head. What kind of mess is this?

Bifang Immortal King vied for supremacy, Water Venerable cried as his vanguard, the seven states of the Immortal Alliance paid the price, and he himself helped Yuque—and even so, he still had to be treated like a thief by Wang Yuque's subordinates.

However, Zhou Yingxi still didn't move.

She was like a flag; seeing that she didn't move, Cui Baihao, who was already poised to make a move, actually held back.

Though the immortal has departed, the tiger's might remains.

"Come quickly!"

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice rang out, and several senior and knowledgeable generals immediately changed color.

Bull Demon God!
Kong Kong glanced at Cui Baihao, then at Yingxi, and finally showed the responsibility of being the top dog of the Jade Palace Sect.

"Since the Bull Demon Immortal has invited us, of course we must go! Let's go!"

Seeing that things had come to this point, Yingxi felt helpless, but she had no choice but to get involved.

In the Four Spirit Realms, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is currently cultivating.

Practice, practice.

Spiritual practice is a way for individuals to break through their own limits. Whether or not one makes progress is objective, but an individual's understanding of spiritual practice is subjective.

For the same goal of 'improving strength', different cultivators proposed different solutions, resulting in different situations in different methods.

The main cultivation method currently practiced by the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable can be broadly divided into three systems.

Firstly, his water-based cultivation technique, which he had practiced for a long time, was not very advanced; it was merely usable and could only be considered a Golden Core.

Secondly, the Great Sun Life and Death Furnace obtained from Bifang and the Golden Immortal Technique of the Wine Sword Venerable Ziji are very powerful, and they also possess a super-powerful 'Great Sun Radiance' divine ability—this is the foundation for Ziji's strength.

Thirdly, there is the system of Dharma teachings involving the gift of water deities.

This system of methods has a lot of flaws. The biggest flaw is that Jade Palace Immortal Venerable and Water Venerable will inevitably have a battle in the future.

However, he is very, very strong, so strong that the Water Venerable can be served by Bifang, Boluo, Immortal Ancestor and others based on his own strength.

Although it was unlucky to be at the forefront with tears streaming down his face, the strength of the Water Lord was beyond doubt.

The Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is now cultivating the Water Venerable's method.

The idea of ​​turning the Four Spirit Realms into one's own Daoist temple is something that still needs to be developed gradually.

However, we still need to make some progress in mastering and improving the methods in the early stages.

This method is a special version of Taihe Water, and its foundation is based on the forty-six water-related major paths controlled by Taihe Water.

The Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's mastery of the Great Dao of Water is far inferior to that of the Water Venerable, and he also has his own focus.

The Immortal Venerable preferred his own wondrous method, the Mysterious Water Path.

There are many different interpretations of this.

Firstly, many people consider whether or not one can become a Golden Immortal to be based on whether or not one can master a path of acquired enlightenment.

Secondly, the acquired Dao is not restricted by the void. Even in an environment where there is no innate Dao of heaven and earth in the void, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable can use it with ease.

Thirdly, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's operations within the Four Spirit Realms, from the methods of replenishing water to purifying the water Dao Court, and then to the 'Magic Treasure Proving the Golden Elixir Method,' all relied on the wondrous Mysterious Water Dao he initially mastered.

Fourth, the basic equivalent of circulation in the Water Replenishment Era was gradually replaced by the Immortal Venerable with various levels of wondrous water and sand. This stuff is an extension of the Immortal Venerable's rule over the Four Spirit Realms, and also the foundation for the Immortal Venerable's Dharma Form Dharma cultivation, which is beneficial and cost-free. It cannot be touched lightly.

Fifth, and most importantly, is a more complex reason.

Because there has never been a rule in the cultivation world that 'you can learn something just by becoming an apprentice', the Immortal Venerable's knowledge of the Innate Great Dao and the Acquired Great Dao all came from Little Fish. Little Fish was limited by his strength, and he had to figure many things out on his own through hard work.

In recent centuries, as the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's status and position in the Four Spirit Realms have become increasingly stable, especially with the increasing number of water-replenishing cultivators, the water techniques of these new water-replenishing talents are often based on the core methods of the Mysterious Water Dao that have flowed out of the Pure Water Dao Court system. For example, they simplify a Purple Mansion method layer by layer and then let ordinary Qi Refining Water Method cultivators practice it.

During this process, as the number of cultivators replenishing water increases, as does the number of cultivators practicing water magic, and as the number of water spirits in the Four Spirit Realms increases, the Mysterious Water Path of the Four Spirit Realms itself begins to change.

As the acquired water-related Great Dao that was personally brought to the Four Spirit Realms by the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, the Mysterious Water Dao of Wonderful Method is mastered by only the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable within the Four Spirit Realms.

Therefore, he could clearly feel that this thing was slowly becoming more powerful, and it had a tendency to gradually transform into the innate water element of the Four Spirit Realms.

This was a transformation that no one had ever taught the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable before, but the Immortal Venerable's cultivation was profound, and he easily understood the intricacies involved and was pleased with the outcome.

Perhaps the Immortal Venerable was unaware of the Rakshasa and Water Venerable's theories on cultivation, but the Immortal Venerable's idea was that since he couldn't create his own grotto-heavens without practicing the Grotto-Heaven Method, he could simply transform the Four Spirit Realms into his own grotto-heavens.

This may be a long process, and there may not be a way forward, but the difference between him and Donglai is that Jade Palace Immortal Venerable can face everything calmly.

The Water Venerable's cultivation method gave the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable the means to transform the Four Spirit Realms into his own 'grotto-heaven'—which is actually his Daoist temple.

The trend of transformation from the acquired Great Dao to the innate Great Dao that appeared on the Mysterious Water Path of Wonderful Dharma gave Jade Palace Immortal Venerable a clue for transformation.

This cultivation system, well, every detail of it involves a huge waste of resources.

However, it appears that the trend is correct at present.

The Water Venerable's methods may not be able to help Jade Palace Immortal Venerable achieve unparalleled supremacy, but at least they can help Jade Palace Immortal Venerable catch up with the strength of a top-tier Golden Core cultivator.

As for resource consumption...
In the eyes of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, they are just numbers.

The times are tough. Daozhu and Bifang are striving for supremacy, but the supreme ruler has not yet appeared, and the changes have not been fully locked in.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Immortal Venerable, everything is still not too late.

Of course, if someone questions, "What if something suddenly happens and it's too late? Wouldn't that be the end of everything?", the Immortal Venerable has actually considered this as well.

There is only one answer—do what you can do and seize the right opportunities, that's enough.

As for the rest, leave it to luck.

Just as the Immortal Venerable was diligently cultivating and devoting all his energy to comprehending his own Dharma, the Bull Demon's divine telepathic message arrived.

'Fellow Daoist Yuque, your people have arrived.'

In the endless heavens, the only cultivators who haven't mastered the modified version of the Great Sun Life-Death Furnace are Jade Palace Immortal Venerable and Bull Demon King.

Those top-tier Golden Core cultivators, once they obtain this method, will only select the best aspects and will not blindly cultivate it.

Therefore, the Immortal Venerable and the Bull Demon King truly communicated through the special supernatural power attached to the Great Sun Radiance, the furnace of life and death.

"Good, Fellow Daoist Bull Demon, I am very grateful to you for this matter."

In this way, you can send ten Purple Mansions into the Four Spirit Realms, and I will ensure that two of them can achieve Dao Transformation.

How about exchanging two Golden Core cultivators from the Four Spirit Realms for a Great Heaven and Earth Golden Core cultivator?

When the Bull Demon heard the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable referring to himself as "this Venerable One, this Venerable One," he felt it was somewhat absurd.

You donkey king who came from the donkey's brain, how many years have you been away from the world, and you dare to claim supremacy over me, the old ox? Do you deserve it?
"Fellow Daoist Yuque is joking. What would I need those Four Spirit Realms Golden Pills for? This matter is trivial and need not be discussed further."

I will now activate my supernatural powers, and you will be able to communicate with your subordinates.

Donglai and Dishui might not have much of a sense of what the Golden Core cultivators in the Four Spirit Realms are like, but a true Golden Immortal like the Bull Demon King certainly does.

That's like using meat buns to hit a donkey; the Donkey King doesn't care about meat or vegetables, and all of his subordinates are instantly refined—refined into his system and order.

'good!'

You're kidding me!

While cursing, the Bull Demon God addressed the trembling Jade Generals.

"I did not summon you here."

Everyone was even more frightened. So, the conspiracy was actually more cruel than they imagined.
Facing this renowned Golden Immortal Demon God from the Immortal Alliance, Yingxi gritted her teeth and was about to step forward when a familiar voice rang in everyone's ears.

"It was I who sent you here."

Cui Baihao's faint smile froze. He had been pretending to be obedient with his head down, but now he couldn't help but crane his neck, only to look in horror at the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable who was bathed in divine light and suddenly appeared beside the Bull Demon.

The divine light here is not the divine light in Bifang's stomach, but a manifestation of the divine power of the Great Sun Radiance.

"Immortal Venerable!"

"Master!"

"Master!"

"Owner!"

"Pavilion Master!"

"Palace Master!"

"Yulou!"

The fact that subordinates could call out completely different titles in such a clear manner actually proves one thing—that the Immortal Venerable's rapid attainment of enlightenment was not as outrageous as it seemed.

Look at those General Yu and his Daoist companions who are crying tears of joy. The foundation left by the Immortal Venerable in the Great World is not made up of ordinary people and useless people, but of the elites who have fought their way out from the endless low-level cultivators of the Immortal Alliance.

They are loyal, resilient, intelligent, and possess extraordinary talents. Their methods and level of understanding far surpass those of their peers.

"Alright, Lao Cui, stop crying, try to smile."

He ignored his wife, Steward Bai, and everyone else.

The first thing to say is, hey, just focus on 'caring' for yourself first.

Old Cui cried even harder.

The tears they shed were so intense that they even drew attention.

Splash, quite loyal.

This is what is meant by:
The sun shines brightly on the boundless sky, and tears of gratitude flow like a long river!
