Chapter 386 Dripping Water "Husband? Why did you suddenly come back?" (1.02 views, requesting monthly votes)
From "Wang Yulou, you son of a bitch" to "Brother, please."

He is a well-known inheritor of Sichuan intangible cultural heritage.

In its later years, the water vessel undergoes a second development.

A child who can admit their mistakes and correct them is a good child.

But in reality, this matter is far less outrageous than it seems.

The twists and turns involved were all predetermined in the eyes of top Dao pursuers like Jade Palace Immortal Venerable and Supreme Harmony Water Venerable.

For example, the plan that Jade Palace Immortal Venerable wanted to promote—first expanding the top-tier gold and then integrating it during the expansion process—was actually not a big problem.

Therefore, under the Water Venerable's judgment system, it will believe the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's inference about Bi Fang's attitude—Old Bi Deng could only reluctantly accept it in the end.

It's already difficult enough to make the Water Lord pay the price; after all this fuss, the Water Lord hasn't even started a war.

That's fine, it's normal for them to drag their feet, after all, this may be the prelude to the final battle. Water Lord was forced into a relationship by Overlord, so everyone understands that they want to delay.

But it made the war plan clear: war means defeat.

The vision of integrating the world is not just empty talk or empty promises.

Under real competitive pressure, this is something that must be done, both for Bifang and for other top-tier players.

If it's already so difficult to get a Water Venerable to pay the price, what about the others?

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is simply preparing to take the lead in demanding value, which is in line with the inevitable trend and the most common human desires. Can Bi Fang really personally obstruct his attempt to integrate the world and personally stifle the necessary demands of potential bargaining chips and those who want to transfer the burden of costs?
It seems possible, but in reality, it is not.

From this perspective, it seems that Water Venerable doesn't need to say "brother, please" to Jade Palace Immortal Venerable—it can simply follow Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's ideas and operate on its own.

This dimension is actually correct, at least in the context of battles at the Foundation Establishment level and below.

For lower-level cultivators, the best strategy is to try to gain as much as possible, then move to a different location to continue their cultivation after winning.

However, if Water Venerable fantasizes that he can still clear the field and prevent others from getting any benefit in the battle between top-tier Golden Core cultivators.
"You damned little bastard!"

Thinking of this, Taihe Shui cursed Jade Palace Immortal Venerable again.

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable was indeed meticulous in his planning to prevent Water Venerable from making a foolish mistake.

Yin Zheng, Bo Luo, and Di Shui couldn't guess who was behind the forgery of the Five Realms Under Heaven Collection and the Five Realms Under Heaven Book.

However, through the glimpses of light revealed by Wang Yulou, Shui Zun had already glimpsed some of the underlying mechanisms.

The Jade Palace Immortal Venerable actually gave him four conditions: expanding the Golden Valley Garden to the top level, delaying the start of the war, reshaping the chessboard of the Great World, and building a new 'New Five Domains United in Heaven' with the Water Venerable, the Immortal Alliance forces, and the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable forces at its core.

The interests of power development, the fundamental survival of individuals, the potential for future changes, and the benefits of increasing the ability to acquire change and strengthening allies have bound the Water Lord together in multiple dimensions.

Why isn't this a kind of tortoise shell binding?
Otherwise, Shui Zun wouldn't have said, "Please, brother."

First, deal with the Blue Forbidden Dragon God to instigate the Wutian Sect and the Immortal Ancestor. Then, using the situation faced by the Immortal Ancestor and the Water Venerable, the situation within the Great World, the situation of the ultimate battle, and the situation of Bifang actively seeking battle as leverage, we can leverage the expansion of the top gold within the Great World.

Even from the perspective of the Water Venerable's vision and experience, there is no better idea than that of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

Even if we take away the unique advantage of "Jade Palace Immortal Venerable being outside the Great Heaven and Earth", it would be difficult for someone else to execute a more refined operation than Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

Thinking of this, Water Venerable finally let go of his greed and stopped thinking about copying Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's ideas.

Xiao Wang did a really good job; we need to win him over, at least for this round.

Raising a tiger is a recipe for disaster. From the perspective of raising a tiger to cause trouble, Shui Zun's actions were certainly not the right thing to do.

However, Wang Yuque is no tiger; the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is far more powerful than any tiger.

On the other hand, the problems associated with water-themed vessels are also multi-dimensional.
The things he faced were far more threatening than those posed by the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.
-

Taihe Shui pondered the changing situation within the cave, while Hong Li searched for a replica of the Five Realms Heavenly Book within the Eastern Pole Sect.

The Immortal Venerable personally instructed that the Eastern Pole Sect's "Evil Book Rectification Campaign" has begun, and Red Carp is preparing to conduct a thorough investigation.

"Master, shall we go directly to investigate the cave dwellings of those True Immortals?"

Gong Yinji, the patriarch of the Gong clan of Dishuidong and a disciple of Hongli, asked with a bitter expression.

He knew, of course, that there were two factions within the Eastern Pole Sect, but he never expected that he would be directly chosen by his master to be a pawn.

The Jade Palace Sect. To put it simply, from the perspective of the Golden Core Immortals, the Jade Palace Sect seems to be just a bunch of low-level, worthless people.

From the perspective of ordinary cultivators, the Jade Palace Sect was a faction personally established by the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, the greatest genius in the history of the Great World who once presided over the reform of the Immortal Alliance. The cultivators in the sect came from the seven states of the Immortal Alliance, including many geniuses and extraordinary talents.

Even if such a faction were to deliberately maintain a partial separation from Jade Palace Immortal Venerable under difficult circumstances, thus creating a situation where the Jade Palace faction would turn a blind eye to losses while the Dripping Water faction would turn a blind eye to losses, it would still be able to make the Dripping Water faction jump up and down in tears within the Eastern Pole Sect.

General Cui Baihao, General He Songyu, and General Fang Xinqian—these are all outstanding individuals.
"What, do you have a problem with this?" Red Carp stared at the current patriarch of the Gong clan with displeasure.

Of course she was dissatisfied. "Your Gong family has relied on me for so many years to develop. Now I need you to fight for us. What do you mean by shrinking back?"
"Master, of course not. It's just that I'm afraid that if people who don't know the inside story see it, there will be a lot of gossip within the sect."

Gong Yinji finally bowed his head; he had no choice.

The Water Immortal needs to 'show his stance,' and the Red Carp must charge forward.

With the red carp leading the charge, everyone in the Eastern Pole Sect will suffer, tormented to the point of ecstasy by internal strife.

From the perspective of a drop of water, these are all basic behaviors to ensure its own survival, which is already very gentle - otherwise, how can it make a gesture?
Is it really worth it to take a hard line and gamble that Wang Yuque, as a Golden Core Immortal Venerable, can still have a heart that deeply loves her and only has eyes for her, just like it did more than a thousand years ago?
Even Droplet herself didn't believe it; she didn't even think that the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable had really valued her that much back then.

Suspicion is mutual; the rumors that the Bull Demon told the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable could also be heard by a drop of water.

After the Water Venerable began investigating the origins of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, in the dead of night, Dripping Water, White Carp, and White Little Fish would also fall into contemplation—had Wang Yulou seen through their true forms very early on?

Therefore, it was all a performance. Wang Yulou used everything he could to get to where he is today.

These doubts are like an inescapable poison; pure emotions simply do not exist for those who attain the Golden Core stage.

Therefore, you can't say that just because "Drip Water" shows that her interests are not aligned with those of Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, it means that Drip Water is a "heartless woman"—she even helped a group of Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's Daoist partners and subordinates open their Purple Mansions.

It's impossible to calculate.

"Let the opinions be as they may. You may not know, but the gathering of the Five Regions under the same sky is the second most important matter in the entire world today."

Starting a war is of course the top priority, but finding the person within the sect who is hiding a counterfeit version of the Five Domains Heavenly Book is equally important.

After all, this war is a war of the Immortal Alliance, a war primarily fought in Huzhou, while the governance within the sect is closely related to our own interests.

Hongli may not be very skilled, but she has followed Dishui for a long time and naturally understands her sister's subtle thoughts.

Make a gesture, find an excuse to suppress the Jade Palace Sect.

In this way, Hongli can rightfully become the third Golden Core cultivator of the Eastern Pole Sect in the future.

That's why the red carp are rushing so eagerly.

Setting aside the emotional dimension and focusing on the actual dimensions of self-interest, the red carp is actually closer to the right path.

"I understand. What if we've searched all the caves of those immortals and still can't find it?" Gong Yinji continued to ask for guidance.

In fact, there is a very obvious fact—if you only search the cave dwelling and do not check the stored magical treasures or the magical treasures hidden inside the Daoist body, you will never be able to find the forged Five Realms Heavenly Book.

It is precisely because this contradiction is so obvious that Miyakonoji needs a clear answer from the red carp.

Hongli's eyes flashed, and she took out four counterfeit copies of the Five Realms Heavenly Book from her storage magic treasure, handed them to Gong Yinji, and said.

"Have your men take a good look at what this 'evil book' looks like, and then investigate it carefully. They will definitely be able to find out."

The internal strife has escalated completely, and the next step might be a complete breakdown in relations!
Gong Yinji knelt on the ground. This member of the immortal cultivation family who had served the Red Carp Immortal for thousands of years lowered his head and raised his hand to receive the 'evil book template' bestowed upon him by the Immortal.

Then, he quietly bowed and left.

Of course he knows what to do.

The laws of the cultivation world, the laws of the Immortal Alliance, the laws of the Eastern Pole Sect. The laws are not strict, but they are everywhere.

No true immortal is 'absolutely clean'. Therefore, when a Golden Core Immortal Venerable is determined to 'discover' problems in certain people, those selected must be problematic.

Furthermore, Gong Yinji saw the determination of the Water Immortal from the hints of the red carp.

Its understanding is limited to the depths of a drop of water, and it does not comprehend the red carp's yearning for the Golden Elixir of Enlightenment.

Gong Yinji thought that after the world had already undergone the most terrifying internal purge in history, eliminating ninety percent of the cultivators at the Qi Refining, Cave Technique, Enlightenment, and Divine Transformation stages, the Water-Dripping Immortal Venerable of the Eastern Pole Sect was about to target the large number of Jade Palace Sect rogue immortals within the sect.

The wandering immortal here is none other than the Purple Mansion True Man—Gong Yinji was born in the new era and has no idea what the world was like in the past.

Those concepts of idealism from before the era of "internal surgery and scraping the bone and removing the flesh" have been gradually erased by time.
-

The Eastern Pole Sect is not a small sect. The legacy left by the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is actually quite extensive, and a portion of it consists of 'intangible assets'.

Among these intangible assets is a special asset called 'expansion potential'.

Relying on the special environment of the Immortal Alliance-Four Seas Alliance front line and the '714 Grand Immortal Mountain Front Line System' designed by Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, the Eastern Pole Sect has developed quite prosperously in recent years.

To put it simply, it can be understood as something similar to the Heavenly Serpent Valley—the scale and prosperity of the Eastern Extreme Sect are also quite significant within Shengxian Prefecture.

More than twenty of those Jade Generals and Jade Immortal Venerables' Daoist partners became Purple Mansions during the development of the Eastern Pole Sect.

Including Jin Shan, Kong Kong, Li Haikuo, Gu Qiyuan, and others whom Jade Palace Immortal Venerable recruited at the beginning of the establishment of the Eastern Pole Sect, there were more than thirty loose immortals belonging to the Jade Palace Sect within the sect.

In comparison, the Drip Party only had about twenty people.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Dongji Sect, the Jade Palace Sect had a relatively high base of support.

When the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable left the Great Heaven and Earth, for a very long time, he kept the water level perfectly still.

Thus, this situation arose.

The prosperity of the Eastern Pole Sect was largely due to the pragmatic Jade Palace cultivators who followed the reforms of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

But when the Water Immortal's gaze fell upon these increasingly powerful, ambitious, and not yet his direct descendants, the situation changed.

"May I ask if Master Kongkong is at home? I am here on the orders of my master and by the decree of the Immortal Venerable to investigate the spread of 'heretical books' within the Eastern Pole Sect."

Gong Yinji, accompanied by several Nascent Soul Realm (senior Foundation Establishment cultivators who have mastered supernatural powers) cultivators, stood outside the fortress belonging to the Kongkong Zhenren Daoist Temple, probing their intention to pay homage.

With his hands behind his back, his gaze was deep and unfathomable, indicating that he was determined to die.

In contrast, the cultivators from the Eastern Pole Sect's Enforcement Hall who had been taken by him appeared particularly uneasy.

Master Kongkong, founder of Miaofeng Mountain, a vassal sect of the former Red Lantern Clan, close friend of Immortal Venerable Mangxiang, a senior wandering immortal, with a cultivation level of over six thousand years since opening the Purple Mansion.

He opened his Purple Mansion for six thousand years, and still couldn't attain the Golden Core stage. He had to serve others like a slave, with no real value whatsoever. Now, under the influence of a Golden Core Immortal Venerable, he was barged into the gate by a little rascal—that's how the world is, it's always been this absurd.

Therefore, it is not appropriate to use the fact that the number of Purple Mansions and Golden Cores in the Great Heaven and Earth is only slightly greater than that in the Four Spirit Realms to argue that the Four Spirit Realms may well clash with the Great Heaven and Earth in the future, or to argue that the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable can completely disregard the situation in the Great Heaven and Earth and simply focus on farming in the Four Spirit Realms.

It's truly different. The intensity of the Great Heaven and Earth is extremely high, and those who cultivate in such an intense environment are all exceptionally talented.

Even if the Four Spirit Realms could cultivate a bunch of Golden Cores and Purple Mansions under the powerful guidance of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable using the fast-growing chicken cultivation method, it would still be difficult to compare with the accumulation of the Great Heaven and Earth.

“My master has already left for a long journey. Fellow Daoist Yinji, please come in.”

Before Master Kongkong left the Great World, the last disciple to be officially recognized opened the magic array of the Daoist temple, welcoming Gong Yinji and the cultivators of the Enforcement Hall in.

"That's not right. The sect's laws clearly stipulate that every rogue immortal has the responsibility to guard the territory."

I remember Master Kongkong still has more than ten years left before this round of array duty ends.

Has this sudden journey been reported to the Water Immortal?

Within the fortress formation, Gong Yinji surveyed the empty space above the fortress belonging to Master Kongkong and felt something was amiss.

Facing Gong Yinji's scrutinizing gaze, Master Kongkong's disciple calmly replied.

"Yes, Master's array guard duty is not over yet, but I naturally do not know where Master went."

Brother Yinji, you understand that as disciples, we only have the right to obey orders, not to ask questions.

Gong Yinji frowned; he had a feeling that this scoundrel was implying something about him.

"Alright, I will report to the Enforcement Master of the Enforcement Hall later. However, we can still do the work of investigating and eliminating heretical books, right?"

There are demons, villains, evil spirits, and schemers in this vast world.
Therefore, the decree of the Water Immortal Lord requires a thorough investigation of each and every fortress!

"Of course, we will definitely support the Immortal Venerable's decree. Senior Brother Yinji, please feel free to do so. The junior brothers from the Enforcement Hall are also free to investigate."

In less than a quarter of an hour, Gong Yinji flew back to the disciple of Master Kongkong and asked with some panic and anger.

"Where did all the cultivators in this fortress go? Why are there only a bunch of Qi Refining (early Qi Induction) and Cave Technique (early Qi Refining) cultivators?"

The disciple then realized that something might be wrong; his master had run away, taking a bunch of people with him.

Then, the sect quickly came to investigate, but now he's the only one left to bear the brunt of it.
On one side is the Water Immortal Venerable's people, and on the other side is his own master.

My master betrayed the sect, and I've already been abandoned?

It didn't dare to think too deeply about it, and only tried its best to explain.

“Brother Yinji, as you know, my master cultivates the Cave Heaven Method, and his Cave Heaven can carry many people.”

"You mean, Master Kongkong took all the Mingdao and Huashen realm cultivators in this fortress on a long journey?"

Gong Yinji felt that he had discovered something extraordinary. He even began to wonder if the Water Immortal already knew about these things, which was why the Red Carp Immortal was conducting such a high-profile investigation.

Has something significant changed within the Jade Palace Sect?
"It's hard to say. I don't know anything. My master only changed me from a nominal disciple to a formal disciple before he left."

Gong Yinji glared at the man, then raised his hand and sent a telepathic message to True Man Hongli, reporting the strange occurrences of the place to him.

Seeing that the disciple of Master Kongkong was so frightened by his raised hand that he almost jumped up, Gong Yinji thought that he was probably just a pawn to be discarded.

Then, he looked at the few Enforcement Hall cultivators who had come with him to investigate the evil book and said coldly.

"Let's move on to the next point, the fortress of the White-Haired Immortal!"

The investigation by the Water Immortal has clearly uncovered an extraordinary situation.

Cui Baihao ran away.

Fang Xinqian ran away.

Yu Hongdou ran away.

Master Hansong has run away.

Gu Qiyuan ran away.

Half of the Jade Palace Sect Masters within the Eastern Pole Sect have fled!
The rest are either ordinary, unifying Daoist couples—those who open their Purple Mansions by eating 'Little Zhou's special brainless love welfare'.

Alternatively, it could be that the generals, though of average talent, were commendably loyal, and even Bai Lu herself stayed behind.

Faced with this result, Hongli sat in her seat, lost in deep confusion.

She didn't know how to report this to her older sister.

Sister, the people who bullied my brother-in-law—before we even landed the slap, most of them had already run away.
The rest are either stupid or idiotic; they're all ugly and deformed.
What a thing!
Cultivation is a journey of self-cultivation; it's normal to encounter anything along the way!

She clenched her fist in frustration, managing to calm herself down before speaking to Gong Yinji.

"Go and invite the two immortals, Bailu and Yingxi, here."

Gong Yinji raised his head in confusion and asked.

"Master, which one should we invite?"

He even thought his master had gone mad, making him, a Nascent Soul cultivator, attack a rogue immortal and bring the rogue immortal here.

"Fool, the polite kind."

Give me what you've given to me—no, give it to your parents.
No, in short, just show the respect you would show to the Water Immortal and invite these two here!

You should have said so earlier! I had to guess. I thought I was going to give you a huge gift as an excuse to start a fight.
"Yes, Master."

Bai Lu's original arrangements now have meaning.

In terms of talent, she and Yingxi are, well, first of all, their talent is definitely not low.

However, within the realms of Purple Mansion True Persons and Loose Immortals in the Great Heaven and Earth, their talents are not quite up to par.

Even though Yingxi consumed the 'Blood Marrow Treasure Pill' made from the essence of her entire clan, which increased her talent, in reality, her talent was still not that high.

One's background and early experiences shape their behavior, personality, and habits, which can truly influence a spiritual practitioner's entire life.

Only those beings with high strength and extraordinary realms can transcend themselves, abandon their weak selves, and move towards a stronger self—even the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable struggled a lot in this process.

However, although Bai Lu and Ying Xi are not talented, one is the number one lackey of the Jade Palace Sect, and the other is the childhood sweetheart of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

As long as the two of them remain in the Eastern Pole Sect, no matter what Di Shui wants to do to the Jade Palace Sect, he cannot bypass them.

Making a move against anyone would mean a direct falling out with the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

Therefore, Xiao Bai, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's favor to Xiao Bai was indeed not in vain.

It can be said that Xiao Bai's behavior of suppressing the Immortal Venerable's Daoist partner by relying on her status as the number one disciple of the Immortal Venerable and her own "right to interpret scriptures" was not exactly pleasant, clean, beautiful, simple, or kind.

But 'pleasant, clean, beautiful, simple, and kind' are not what cultivators pursue, Xiaobai. In the end, he was very capable and offered a wave of loyalty to the Immortal Venerable that was truly outstanding.

Soon, Gong Yinji invited Bai Lu and Zhou Yingxi to the event.

In fact, when Gong Yinji led his team to make a rash move, Bai Lu and Ying Xi already knew that the situation within the sect had changed.

However, in front of Hongli, the two still maintained basic etiquette in a dignified manner—the essence of internal strife lies in fighting without breaking apart.

"I'm not going to ask anymore. My sister told me to look up evil books, but this is the result."
"You two come with me directly to the Drip-Water Heaven to see my sister."

Red carp are a real headache.

A third of the True Persons in the Eastern Pole Sect have fled; this is outrageous.

The problem is, I only just found out about this myself.

She could only pray that her older sister had everything under control and that she was being asked to investigate the case in order to uncover the truth.

If even a drop of water doesn't know the intricacies involved, then there could be serious trouble.

Faced with Hongli's invitation, Yingxi took a half step forward, wanting to say something. But Bailu had already seen through Yingxi's 'brainless beauty' nature. She raised her hand to stop Zhou Yingxi and said with her head held high.

"Of course I'll oblige!"

The red carp's head hurt even more.

A great war is imminent across the vast world, and the situation within the Eastern Pole Sect is undergoing a sudden and subtle shift. Evil books are emerging, concealing a massive conspiracy.
At the critical juncture of attaining the Golden Core stage, it seems I've encountered a host of troublesome matters.

However, without the opportunities of the times, obtaining the Golden Elixir would be completely impossible.

It's so difficult!
-

On the Immortals Terrace, Bai Li and Yue Hua were discussing the upcoming war in Huzhou.

It's an open secret that the Water Venerable was humiliated by the top Golden Core cultivators in the Great World. The Immortal Alliance has become a pawn in the struggle between the Limitless and the Limitless, and this cannot be changed.

Cangshan won't suffer any losses, nor will Luosha and Qingrui. Let Huzhou fight back; it doesn't seem like there's any major problem.

Therefore, the Golden Core Immortals on the Immortal Platform were actually quite cowardly.

There was no other way; it was pressure that could force the Water God to submit in humiliation.

The Water Venerable's miserable state was not due to his incompetence, but rather because the situation he faced was too terrifying.

If the water spirit is like this, how could anyone else dare to jump around recklessly?

'What Huzhou battle? I think it's a battle of all-out effort by the Immortal Alliance.'

Many cultivators have been conscripted to the front lines in the Seven States, and the border between the Immortal Alliance and the Four Seas Alliance has become much quieter.

At this point, we should prepare for a top-level power war. (A line from a poem, "A Drop of Water Shares the Moon's Radiance.")

She was actually trying to confirm her thoughts through communication.

No one can truly open up or reveal their innermost thoughts, but the exchange itself can still generate some value.

"Yes, we must prepare for a major battle." Yuehua's enthusiasm was low.

Can it be high?
She glanced at the white-bearded general, who remained numbly huddled in the crowd, showing no intention of speaking.

Once upon a time, on the Terrace of Immortals, Jinglan, Yuque, Yuehua, and Baixu, four celestial beings from beyond the heavens, gathered together, a veritable gathering of wise men.

Back then, with just a little bit of collusion, the four of them could influence the decisions of the Immortal Alliance.

But later...
Yu Que suddenly developed amnesia and no longer knew the full name of the Outer Heaven.

Jinglan was sent to the outer realms by the Water Venerable and died at the hands of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

On the Immortals' Platform, only Yuehua and Baixu remained in hiding.

Now that a great battle is about to begin, Yuehua's heart is filled with unease.

She really wanted to run away.

But she couldn't bear to part with it.

In comparison, the situation facing the Red Carp is nothing.
Is it difficult to attain the Golden Elixir of Enlightenment?
Reaching the Golden Core stage is even more difficult!
Not just anyone, but the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable.

Many people mistakenly believe that Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is simply lucky, completely ignoring his unique sensitivity to change, his grasp of struggle, and his courage to act decisively at crucial moments as a top Dao pursuer.

Historical turning points, extraordinary achievements, and miraculous accomplishments are always created by those who dare to devote themselves fully and take a gamble.

The Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is not some random figure on the roadside, but the fastest Golden Core cultivator in the history of the Great World, a legend among legends.

luck?

Countless times, Jade Palace Immortal Venerable only managed to receive the favor of great fortune after giving it his all.

'Fellow Daoist Yuehua, you don't need to worry. In fact, you can definitely consider our Fourth Sect.'

The story of the Water God bowing his head and being forced to charge forward as a great battle was about to begin is actually quite representative.

You have also experienced many chaotic eras, so you are familiar with this situation. 'The Water Immortal is trying to recruit another member for the fourth faction.'

It can both bring good fortune to Yuehua and enhance its own influence over the fourth faction.

This is certainly part of spiritual practice; whether or not it succeeds is irrelevant.

Those who pursue the Way must strive to cultivate themselves in all dimensions in order to fulfill their desire to climb higher.

'Familiarity breeds change, old and new coexist, old patterns begin to fail, and new patterns will gradually emerge.' Yuehua nodded slightly in her heart.

Yes, if I'm going to gamble and not leave the Immortal Alliance, it's time to completely choose sides.

If we delay any longer, it may be too late.

"However, I still need to think about it some more. Fellow Daoist Drip Water is right, but I can't very well refuse Immortal Venerable Qingrui."

The Yuehua Sect is located in Wunan Prefecture, which is closer to Qingrui.

This is a very real factor that cannot be ignored.

The two fell silent and instead looked toward the lively scene on the Altar of Immortals.

There, the dogs under Shui Zun, Cang Shan, Qing Rui, and the Rakshasa Sect were tearing apart the Immortal Alliance's direct Golden Core cultivators.

There is only one core purpose.

Go up there, and pay the price.

Since you consume the resources provided by the Immortal Alliance, you should contribute to the Immortal Alliance.

You are Golden Core cultivators directly under the Immortal Alliance. Now that the Immortal Alliance is about to start a war, if you don't charge in, who will?

In suppressing the Water Venerable, Cangshan and Qingrui Rakshasa are allies, working together to suppress the Water Venerable.

However, in terms of the dimension of war, they actually supported the Water God.

The struggles among those who achieve the Golden Core stage are always complex.

Her thoughts drifted away as she pondered her plans for the past few years, still feeling somewhat uncertain.

It's incredibly difficult. There's no way forward, making it even more difficult than the Red Carp, who can see the trouble ahead.

In fact, this ignorance of the path ahead, which is at the level of a Golden Immortal, is not the kind of ignorance that belongs to the lowly, weak, or minor cultivators, but rather is approaching the realm of 'ignorant wilderness' that belongs to the top cultivators who pursue the Dao.

Unfortunately, although the Great Heaven and Earth is the most prosperous cultivation world, none of the powerful figures pass on their teachings.

Therefore, no one told Drip that it wasn't actually as difficult for her as she thought.

The realization of one's own ignorance is the beginning of the journey from becoming a Golden Immortal to transcendence.

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable was a mismatch, having prematurely attained a cultivation realm beyond his usual level.

The journey from Celestial Immortal to Golden Immortal represents the realization of an individual's limits, the immense power of relative strength, and the extraordinary creation of the Dao.

This is a process of accumulation leading to blossoming, but blossoming requires an opportunity, and different people have different opportunities.

The Golden Immortal realm is not a specific state of being, but rather a relative, vague, yet objectively existing realm that is completely different from ordinary celestial immortals.

The path from Golden Immortal to the top-tier Golden Core requires the vigilance, keenness, courage, and wisdom needed to navigate the wilderness of ignorance—a higher level of cultivation understanding belonging to the elite cultivators.

This process aligns with the transition a practitioner undergoes in the Purple Palace to Golden Elixir stage, from pursuing profound methods to pursuing transformation.

Understand the rules, utilize the rules, create value, and achieve success.

Only by recognizing change, utilizing change, creating change, and seizing more change by all means can one achieve the elixir of immortality.

The difference between practitioners' levels of spiritual cultivation lies in the shift from concrete, realistic, and objective values ​​to abstract, indefinable, yet absolutely existent and constantly changing changes.

The wilderness of ignorance corresponds to the level of acceptance and true understanding of change achieved after the Golden Elixir has mastered and pursued change.

There is no future, because our abilities have reached their individual limits.

The enemy is uncontrollable, because the few remaining opponents are all terrifyingly powerful.

In the face of extreme conflict and brutal struggle, no one can have it all.

By facing the wilderness of ignorance with equanimity and embracing everything with great strength and talent, one can take a further step towards becoming a top-tier Golden Core cultivator—this sounds abstract, as if it has detached itself from the pursuit of specific and profound methods.

But in reality, if a Golden Immortal still fantasizes that he can create an unprecedented method after countless geniuses to help him achieve supreme status—such a person cannot become a Golden Immortal.

Little Fish has quietly reached the threshold of the Blind Wilderness realm, but she is still completely unaware of it.

Perhaps, once she realizes that this realm itself is the key, her cultivation speed will be able to reach another level.

Suddenly, the white carp, who was silently observing the "Four Venerables Jointly Building Directly Subordinate Golden Elixir" activity, was awakened by the red carp's call.

She frowned slightly, then diverted a wisp of her mental energy back to her original body inside the Dripping Water Heaven Palace.

"Xiaobai, Yingxi, you're here. Please have a seat."

With a smile, Di Shui invited the two to sit down, but of course, they didn't actually sit.

We must use the necessary methods while maintaining a dignified appearance, without neglecting either.

Upon seeing her sister, Hongli immediately reported the changes within the Dongji Sect. Baili initially felt puzzled, but then her expression turned icy.

out of control
"Did they all travel together to the Thirteen Caves of Chongshan or the Bull Demon Association?" Dripping Water gazed at White Dew and Rising Sun.

She just hoped the two of them would behave decently and not resort to underhanded tactics.

If things aren't done in a respectable way, things will become difficult.

The idea of ​​'using the power of a Golden Core cultivator to teach these two Purple Mansion cultivators what dignity is if they're not dignified' is just wishful thinking.

The prediction of White Dew was absolutely correct.

At least at this stage, no matter who gets hurt, it won't affect the two of them.

"No, they didn't go anywhere. True disciples of the Eastern Pole Sect only serve the Eastern Pole Sect."

Senior, you may doubt their abilities, but you cannot doubt their loyalty.

Bai Lu's answer made Di Shui feel disgusted.

Loyalty to whom?
Your master ran away long ago!

It is I who have protected you for so many years!

And then, you were all incredibly loyal, carrying out such a big operation behind my back, keeping it completely secret and not letting a single word leak out.

loyalty?

I'm loyal to you!
Ordinary couples might occasionally quarrel over a few coins, and it's not always the case that they do.

The two Immortal Venerables within the Eastern Pole Sect, Immortal Venerable Dripping Water and Immortal Venerable Jade Palace, are facing a deeper clash and entanglement of interests.

The Jade Palace Immortal Venerable has been away from the Great World for too long, and the pressure he has brought to Dripping Water is too great.

Lovers?
They are lovers, allies, and fellow seekers of the Way!
"Yes, they are all loyal, but why are they wary of me?"

Now, all that Drip Water can do is consider it as having anticipated the enemy's moves and knowing in advance that the Jade Palace Sect masters had left.

Otherwise, so many people would have quietly run away, and she wouldn't have realized it at all because of her cultivation—that would have been too much of a blunder.

"Senior, the Pavilion Master has summoned them away."

We assumed that the Pavilion Master had discussed everything with his seniors.

It seems there was some misunderstanding involved?

Bai Lu lowered her head and answered calmly.

However.
For a fleeting moment, I felt my heartbeat slow down as the water dripped.

She seemed to see the man smiling. He always seemed so composed, composed in pretending to be a fool, composed in pretending to have feelings, composed in facing his fate.

The drop of water seemed to see him smiling calmly, saying to himself—

My lady, I've got you!
At that moment, the drop of water realized that some things might never be seen or understood.

She was wary of him, and he was wary of her.

then
From then on, we could never go back to the way things were.

The bonds between those who pursue the Way seem to wither very easily.

Perhaps, as the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable continuously breaks through, surpasses himself, and approaches the eternal Dao Fruit, many things have already changed.

This was not an accident, but an inevitability.

It wasn't a drop of water that caused the accident, nor was it the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable who caused it; rather, it was two Dao seekers aspiring to the pinnacle who jointly chose this path.

"Ah, I see," said Dripping Water absentmindedly.

If even the Golden Elixir has its regrets, Drip Water doesn't know if Wang Yuque has any regrets.

All she knew was that at this moment, she felt a little regretful.

Even those who have attained the Golden Core stage can only truly understand their true nature when faced with crucial moments.

The path to transcendence, the individual influenced by great power—the combination of these two aspects makes it so complex.

Bai Lu raised her head, her eyes filled with a hint of confusion as she looked at the dripping water.

What are you really thinking?

"What are you all afraid of?"
"The confrontation between the infinite and the infinite is something everyone must face."

"If a sovereign appears, we will all perish together."

"Now, the Immortal Alliance needs you, and you are also supported by the Immortal Alliance."

Why can't we be braver?
"You are Golden Core Immortal Venerables, show the responsibility of Golden Core Immortals in the Immortal Alliance!" Yang Zhaotu's Immortal Venerable Yang Zhao shouted sternly.

He is an ally of Cangshan and a core member of the 'Little Immortal Alliance' faction.

Meanwhile, the Immortal Alliance's direct Golden Core cultivators had long been entrenched in the Azure Immortal City, and the smaller Immortal Alliance desperately wanted to send these people out to wear them down.

The team building activities aren't over yet, but the Water God is already online.

He focused more of his energy on the Immortal Ascension Platform, and after a brief exchange with Jingu Garden to understand the 'actual attitude' expressed by the Golden Core cultivators to Jingu Garden, he cleared his throat and took the initiative to speak.

"Okay, Yang Zhao, don't rush, there are some new developments."

Cangshan immediately looked at the Water Vessel.

What kind of trouble are you going to cause now?

When the Water Venerable spoke, the Immortal Platform immediately fell silent.

As Drip Water focused most of its energy on the Immortal Platform, a cold silence fell over the Drip Water Heavenly Hall.

"What changes?"

Rakshasa asked with some dissatisfaction.

It did not want the Water Venerable to cause trouble. This sudden outburst without prior consultation broke the tacit understanding among the four Venerables of the Immortal Alliance.

"Hahaha, fellow Daoists, you've all seen those new Five Realms Heavenly Books, haven't you?"

Shui Zun nodded to Lao Luo and got straight to business.

"Are you talking about those 'evil books'?" Qingrui asked, squinting her eyes.

On the Immortal Platform, Bai Xiaoyu, the Water Immortal, glanced at Qingrui and the Water Immortal and realized the problem.

Water Vessel - The New Five Realms Unified Heavenly Book.

Qingrui—an evil book.

The Golden Core cultivators were not fools; they knew that a new, more thorough, and potentially terrifying struggle was about to begin.

"Yes, those things were done by an old acquaintance of ours."

He had an idea about the integration of the world and the war between the immortal alliances.

So, they tested the waters with the new Five Realms Heavenly Book.

Ignoring the shocked expressions, Shui Zun raised his hand and tapped the spirit of the Immortal Platform, which immediately cooperated.

The first-grade immortal artifact—the very essence of the Great Dao lies within it.

With the help of the artifact spirit and the Water Venerable, a blurry figure appeared on the Immortals Platform.

Jade Palace Immortal Venerable raised his arms and looked at his own Great Dao projection.

It's very ordinary, blurry like a hastily drawn-out glimmer of light, barely resembling a human form.

However, considering the distance barrier of the endless void, it is actually acceptable.

It'll have to do.

He lowered his arms, raised his head, and spoke with a calm smile.

"Gentlemen, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

As he spoke, his gaze wandered, searching for his beloved wife.

Spotted by the Immortal Venerable's gaze, Di Shui was somewhat bewildered and murmured a question.

"Husband, why did you suddenly come back?"

Terrible question!
